description: Stigmella cyrneorolandi Nel & Varenne, 2013
 Stigmella cyrneorolandi Nel & Varenne 2013c: 18, figs. 1–3.
 Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France, Corse-du-Sud, Linguizetta, 2 m, 6.X.2012, uv, Th. Varenne leg., genitalia slide TV n°5215 (RCTV).
BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 28229; BOLD Sequence ID PALEA219-20.
BIN: BOLD:ACC2707
 Identity: Stigmella rolandi van Nieukerken, 1990, syn. nov. (Fig. 1)
 Remarks. Stigmella cyrneorolandi was described from a male holotype and compared with Stigmella rolandi and other species in the S. sanguisorbae group. We obtained a short sequence of 307 bp that is more than 99% similar to most specimens of S. rolandi, that all fall in the same BIN. The described difference is mainly in the tip of the valvae, that may be either damaged or deformed in the Corsican specimen (we did not study the slide). The description did not mention the important character of male S. rolandi, the very long hairpencil on the hindwing and the associated groove in the forewing underside scaling (van Nieukerken 1990), but the upperside photo just shows some of the long hairs extending beyond the right forewing. We consider S. cyrneorolandi as synonym of S. rolandi. This species is widespread in the southern half of Europe from Spain eastwards to west Siberia. It also occurs on Sardinia.

description: Migrant farmworkers are not a homogeneous group and so cannot be easily characterized. Consequently, the stereotype of low-income, middle-aged, and Hispanic or black applies to only a small percentage of migrants. The total number of migrants, furthermore, is small and most of them undertake migrant farmwork for only part of the year. This article highlights the findings of a 1981 Census/USDA survey.

description: The growing population and increasing socio-economic necessities creates a pressure on land use/land cover. Nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. This study investigates the land use changes in part of Hableh Rood Watershed of Iran using Landsat 7 and 8 (Sensor ETM+ and OLI) images between 2001 and 2013. Supervised classification was used for classification of Landsat images. Four land use classes were delineated including rangeland, irrigated farming and plantations land, and dry farming lands,urban. Visual interpretation, expert knowledge of the study area and ground truth information accumulated with field works to assess the accuracy of the classification results. Overall accuracy of 2001 and 2013 image classification was 81.48 (Kappa coefficient: 0.7340) and 87.04 (Kappa coefficient: 0.7841), respectively. The results showed considerable land cover changes for the given study area. Land cover change detection showed that in a period of 12 years, 277.57 hectares of dry farming lands and 340 hectares of dense range have been lost. But, 341 hectares for low dense range, 280 hectares for semi dense range and 1.4 hectares for urban areas, have been added in area.

description: The author's research of topologies of parallel computing systems and the tasks solved with them, including the corresponding tools of their modeling, is summarized in the present paper. The original topological model of such systems is presented based on the modified Amdahl law. It allowed formalizing the dependence of the necessary number of processors and the maximal distance between information-adjacent vertices in a graph on the directive values of acceleration or efficiency. The dependences of these values on the system interconnection topology and on the information graph of the parallel task are also formalized. The tools for a comparative evaluation of these dependences, topological criteria and the functions of scaling and fault-tolerant operation of parallel systems are based on the author|s technique of projective description of graphs and the algorithms used in it.

description: In spite of the development of various improved cultivars of maize, yield in Nigeria has continued to be hampered by the over cropped nature of most farmlands as well as a wide range of pests and diseases. This study therefore carried out an analysis of agro-chemical inputs’ use in maize production among small scale farmers in Iwo Local Government Area of Osun State. Specifically, the study investigated the relationship between agro-chemical inputs’ use and maize yield in the study area. It determined the factors affecting agro-chemical inputs’ use and the major constraints to its usage. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire from 105 respondents obtained through a two stage random sampling procedure. Analytical tools employed for the study included Pearson Moment correlation and linear regression analysis. The study revealed a 78.5% positive and significant relationship between agro-chemical inputs’ use and maize yield (p< 0.01). High cost and irregularity of supplies, insufficient farm income and fear of health hazards were the major constraints to the use of agro-chemicals. The determinants of agro-chemical inputs’ use among the farmers were; farm size, income at p<0.01 and educational status and household size at p<0.1. The study concluded that a strong positive relationship existed between agro-chemical inputs’ use and maize yield in the study area. It is recommended that there should be guaranteed minimum price for agricultural produce and that farmers should be empowered to increase their farm size through agricultural mechanization.

description: Farmers’ participation in the maintenance and operation of water facilities has a positive impact on their attitude and internal trends and incentives to have closer cooperation with Regional Water Organization. The transfer of irrigation management to farmers enhances the productivity of water facilities and ultimately, results in efficient water use in agriculture. In order to evaluate the effect of participation and transfer of irrigation management to farmers, four hypotheses have been proposed. The study was an applied research according to the goal and was a descriptive survey as data collection method. Judgmental sampling was used to take samples from the population. A researcher-made questionnaire was employed for data collection. It was conducted among 120 people in Guilan Regional Water Organization engaged in agricultural sections. The questionnaire's validity was confirmed by content validity and its total reliability was estimated by Cronbach's alpha as to be 0.86 using SPSS software. The effects of participation on farmers’ commitment, cooperation, and satisfaction and the legitimacy of Regional Water Organization of Guilan province were evaluated at 0.01 level, and no evidence was found to reject the hypotheses.

description: The aim of this research was to investigate this research was to investigate the relationship between Agricultural Information System (AIS) members' viewpoint towards organic products and their environmental in central District of Boyer- Ahmad County. The research population included researchers, extension agents and contact farmers of the study area and based on this population numbers, the sample sizes were determined 62, 55 and 60 persons respectively using Krejcie and Morgan sampling table. The main tool for collecting data about the respondent’s viewpoints towards organic products was a pre-designed questionnaire which its validity was confirmed by rural development experts and its reliability also confirmed by using Cronbach-Alpha coefficient (0.76-0.94). Moreover, the environmental attitude of the respondents was measured using Dunlap & Van Liere's New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale. The results showed that researchers, extension agents and farmers had a moderate environmental attitude. Furthermore, researchers and extension agents had above average viewpoint towards organic products. However, farmers had a fairly favorable viewpoint. In addition, the relationship between Agricultural Information System members' viewpoint towards organic products and their environmental attitude was positive and significant which indicated that the more favorable environmental attitude they have, the more tendencies towards organic products they have. As a result, improving environmental attitude should be given priority in order to produce healthy products and preserve the environment.

description: One of the central duties of rural production cooperatives is to promote the adoption and application of sustainable agricultural practices by farmers, which hinges on several factors. Therefore, the study intends to evaluate the factors influencing the application of sustainable agricultural practices by paddy farmers. The research population included from all includes all paddy farmers as members of the production co- operatives in rural areas of Sari County, Iran (N=4160). A total of 162 farmers were selected through stratified sampling technique. The data was gathered through questionnaires, that its face validity was verified by a panel of experts, and its reliability was obtained through a pilot test (Alpha Cronbach coefficient, 0.93). The results showed that the application of sustainable agricultural practices was generally good. Moreover, the findings showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between the age, using information sources, family members, cultivating area, production amount, social status, access to inputs, participating in extension training courses and economic factors with the application of sustainable agricultural practices. The stepwise linear regression analysis results showed that the variables of cultivating area/hectare, economic facilities, participating in extension training courses and age can determine 61.8% variation of the application of sustainable agricultural practices by paddy farmers as members of rural production cooperatives.

subject: Environmental sciences

description: Industrial development and urban sprawl can dramatically impact adjacent watersheds and associated streams. Meadowood Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) is a piece of public land in Fairfax Va, owned by the Bureau of Land Management. Each of the SRMA’s three streams represents a different level of urban development (high, medium, and low). Water quality data were recorded weekly with measurements for pH, turbidity, nutrient concentrations, specific conductance, and dissolved oxygen. I hypothesized that differences in discharge and water quality among the three streams would reflect their level of urbanization. Thus, Giles Run, the most urbanized stream, would display the chemical characteristics of a heavily urbanized stream system and “flashier” flow. The specific conductance within Giles Run was significantly higher than that of the other two streams, which can be indicative of more urban water systems. Another finding that is important to note is the higher radon levels, indicating a greater degree of groundwater input, were observed in Thompson Creek when compared to the other streams in the park. The results of the study are aimed provide the managers of the park with a better understanding of the area’s hydrology.
title: Empty Museums: Transculturation and the Development of Public Art Museums in Japan
Creators: name: Morishita, Masaaki
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2003

description: This thesis conceptualises the development of public art museums in modern Japan as a process of "transculturation". The introduction of the public art museum - as an institution and concept originated in the modern West - into early-twentieth-century Japan and its subsequent development have been commonly criticised by Japanese museologists in the context of theories of "westernisation". Accordingly the characteristics of the Japanese institutions have often been dismissed as evidence of their incompetence and their failure and to properly realise the Western models. My research, in contrast, examines the processes of transculturation through which the distinctive features of Japanese art museums were positively developed in relation to the localised conditions specific to the "art fields" of Tokyo and other provincial cities. The Western institution and concept of the public art museum were actively and strategically translated into distinctive Japanese forms in the course of their adaptation to the specific sociocultural environment of Japan. In my analysis, I focus on one particular characteristic of the Japanese institutions - their "emptiness" as defined by their lack of collections, permanent displays, and initially curators. Two particular agents in the Japanese art field are highlighted in the development of these "empty museums"; one is the "art group" associated with the iemoto system which had long structured a wide range of traditional cultural practices in Japan and the other is the "curator" whose specialist concerns were related to the Western curatorial practices based on art history. The practices of both agents were formed through the interactions between Western, Japanese, and more regionally/periodically specific cultural elements. Moreover, these agents themselves incessantly conflicted and negotiated with each other and the localised contingencies. It was these interactive relations that helped to shape the configurations of the regional art fields and the curatorial practices of the public art museums in those regions.

description: Nonleptonic $B$ to charmonium decays generally show deviations from the factorization predictions. For example, the mode $B^- \to K^- χ_{c0}$ has been experimentally observed with sizeable branching fraction while its factorized amplitude vanishes. We investigate the role of rescattering effects mediated by intermediate charmed meson production in this class of decay modes, and consider $B^- \to K^- h_c$ with $h_c$ the $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ $\bar c c$ meson. Using an effective lagrangian describing interactions of pairs of heavy-light $Q{\bar q}$ mesons with a quarkonium state, we relate this mode to the analogous mode with $χ_{c0}$ in the final state. We find ${\cal B}(B^- \to K^- h_c)$ large enough to be measured at the $B$ factories, so that this decay mode could be used to study the poorly known $h_c$.

description: Sistan region is one of the most important agricultural areas in the province of Sistan and Baluchistan. Therefore, given the heterogeneity in agriculture and recognizing these differences, the aim of this study was to obtain the level of development of agriculture in the Sistan region. To obtain this purpose Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and the numerical taxonomy were used in a view of 20 indicators in the agricultural sector in the region. The required data were achieved by filling out the questionnaire certified experts and statistical yearbooks in the agricultural sector. Data analysis was used by Matlab and SPSS softwares. Results of numerical taxonomy showed that Markazi, Shibab and Poshteab sectors component parts were less developed. Also, Jazinak and Miyankangi are in the category sections were undeveloped. The results of Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) model indicated that Markazi, Shibab and Poshteab sectors are in the first rank of development, in terms of agricultural indices in the region. Jazinak and Miyankangi are in the fourth and fifth ranking. Therefore, in general, it is clear that the level of development of agricultural in Sistan region isn’t in good condition. In this regard it is suggested that appropriate planning to promote agricultural development is on the agenda should be applied

description: Pastoralism is a way of life in the arid and semi-arid areas of East Africa where livestock rearing is the cornerstone of livelihoods and is characterized by movement of people and livestock in search of pasture and water. Due to past neglect and marginalization of this sector, little is known on the contribution of the sector to society and how new innovations can change their lives leading to overall economic development. In addition, current undergraduate training especially for science students is lacking in soft skills which is essential if proper engagement between researchers and pastoralists is to be useful. In this study, two research projects based in pastoral areas are analyzed. In the first project supported by RUFORUM, disease search for Peste des Petits Ruminant (PPR) a disease which has been killing goats in East Africa was conducted among the Turkana people in Northern Kenya as well as Tandahimba, in Mtwara, Southern Tanzania. In the second project, supported by Kenya Agricultural Productivity Project (KAP), the constraints of hygiene on camel milk chain was analyzed in Garissa and Wajir districts in Northern Kenya. In all projects, engagement of multiple stakeholders enhanced achievement of results. Use of participatory techniques was found effective in eliciting response and support for the study. Soft skills were found to be effective in enhancing the researcher-pastoralist interface. Proper planning in logistics was paramount in overcoming challenges like distance, flooding, and the nomadic lifestyle of the pastoralists. It is recommended that researchers be trained in soft skills before embarking on research in pastoral areas. Engagement of multiple stakeholders and a clear understanding of the socio-culture and natural environment in the pastoral areas is also highly recommended.

description: Drought episodes have been on the increase in the semi- arid areas of Uganda with harmful effects like crop failure, and human and livestock mortality, among others. There are barely any studies that have examined why agro- pastoral communities take specific actions in coping with drought. This study examined the factors influencing the choice of coping strategies to drought and the reasons for response and nonresponse. The study was conducted in the semi-arid Karamoja sub-region of Uganda using a crosssectional household survey on 305 households. A multinomial logistic model was used to analyze the factors that determine the choice of coping strategy by households against drought events. The results indicate that coping was positively influenced by distance to the nearest water source, access to drought information and training on drought management. Livelihood support, amount of arable land owned and frequency of receiving information from Drought Early Warning Systems (DEWS) had a positive significant effect on response. To enhance response capabilities, there is need to improve livelihoods and frequent dissemination of information on impending drought.
INTERCULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS: ASSISTING THE TRANSITION FROM HOMOGENEOUS TO MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Creators: name: Nishimura, Emi
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Globalization and a growing multicultural population have placed Japan in a challenging transition from a homogeneous to a culturally diverse society. This requires citizens and policy makers to rethink the significance of cultural diversity within the country as it sheds light on “domestic” aspects of cultural diplomacy. This study answers the following questions: What is the status of existing intercultural arts projects addressing domestic cultural diversity in Japan? How is other country which has been perceived as a mono-cultural society tackling increasing cultural diversity within the countries using intercultural arts programs? How might the principles and theories of cultural diplomacy (international cultural exchange) be applied in addressing domestic cultural diversity? How might Japan better address cultural diversity within the country building on these theories and findings? A qualitative approach was applied, including literature review, comparative analysis of cases in Japan and Denmark, including interviews with organizers of intercultural arts projects addressing domestic cultural diversity. Finally, the paper suggests that the successful integration of strategies for cultural diversity, cultural diplomacy, domestic cultural exchange, and the arts could lead to a more peaceful society both within and outside Japan.

BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 27071; BOLD Sequence ID LEASV319-19.
BIN: not barcode compliant, but identical to BOLD:AAV7002
 Identity: Stigmella nivenburgensis (Preissecker, 1942), syn. nov. (Fig. 2)
 Remarks. Stigmella thibaulti was described from a male holotype and compared with S. betulicola (Stainton, 1856) and S. nivenburgensis (Preissecker, 1942) (Varenne & Nel 2019). The successfully sequenced specimen fully matches S. nivenburgensis in DNA barcode, and although this sequence is not considered barcode compliant, it falls within the BIN that all European specimens share. The alleged diagnostic characters are due to different preparation techniques (i.e. pressure on coverslip); the triangular “flap” on the valval tip is present in all species in the betulicola species group, but usually invisible as it is positioned ventrally, but pressure moves it laterally (see figures in Johansson & Nielsen 1990). Stigmella nivenburgensis was recorded recently as new for France (van Nieukerken et al. 2012b). Stigmella thibaulti is considered to be a junior synonym of S. nivenburgensis.

description: A dynamic mitigation is presented for sausage and kink instability growths of a z-current driven magnetized plasma column. We have proposed a dynamic mitigation method based on a phase control to smooth plasma non-uniformities and to mitigate the instability growth in perturbed plasma systems. In this paper we found that a wobbling motion of the z-current electron axis induces a phase-controlled perturbation, so that the growths of the sausage and kink instabilities are successfully mitigated. In general, plasma instabilities emerge from perturbations, and the perturbation phase is normally unknown. However, if the perturbation phase is known or actively imposed by, for example, a designed driver wobbling behavior, the instability growth would be controlled and mitigated by a superimposition of the perturbations imposed. The results in this paper demonstrate that the wobbling z-current electron beam would provide an improvement in the plasma column stability and uniformity.

description: Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the five most important staple foods in South-Kivu, with high and increasing demand. The gap between the demand and supply has led to increased importation of rice in the region. Changes in climate are likely to further worsen this gap. This study determined the impact of future climate on paddy rice yield in high altitude plateau and semi-arid Lowland plain of South Kivu region. The Agricultural Production Systems Simulator Model (APSIM) was used to simulate the impact of climate change scenarios -two periods: Mid and end-century, and for two Representative Concentration Pathways: 4.5 and 8.5- on rice yield. Based on the APSIM, rice grain yield is projected to increase with climate change in high altitude plateau while in the semi-arid lowland plain a slight increase in grain yield followed by a decline is projected in the end-century under RCP 8.5. These findings have potential to compliment rice farmers increase their coping capacity against climate change especially in semi-arid lowland plain where negative impacts are projected.

description: We study conformal mappings from the unit disk to circular-arc quadrilaterals with four right angles. The problem is reduced to a Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem on a real interval, with a nonlinear boundary condition, in which the coefficient functions contain the accessory parameters t,lambda of the mapping problem. The parameter lambda is designed in such a way that for fixed t, it plays the role of an eigenvalue of the Sturm-Liouville problem. Further, for each t a particular solution (an elliptic integral) is known a priori, as well as its corresponding spectral parameter lambda. This leads to insight into the dependence of the image quadrilateral on the parameters, and permits application of a recently developed spectral parameter power series (SPPS) method for numerical solution. Rate of convergence, accuracy, and computational complexity are presented for the resulting numerical procedure, which in simplicity and efficiency compares favorably with previously known methods for this type of problem.

INTERCULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS: ASSISTING THE TRANSITION FROM HOMOGENEOUS TO MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Creators: name: Nishimura, Emi

Subjects: classificationCode: 4702
subject: Cultural studies

description: Globalization and a growing multicultural population have placed Japan in a challenging transition from a homogeneous to a culturally diverse society. This requires citizens and policy makers to rethink the significance of cultural diversity within the country as it sheds light on “domestic” aspects of cultural diplomacy. This study answers the following questions: What is the status of existing intercultural arts projects addressing domestic cultural diversity in Japan? How is other country which has been perceived as a mono-cultural society tackling increasing cultural diversity within the countries using intercultural arts programs? How might the principles and theories of cultural diplomacy (international cultural exchange) be applied in addressing domestic cultural diversity? How might Japan better address cultural diversity within the country building on these theories and findings? A qualitative approach was applied, including literature review, comparative analysis of cases in Japan and Denmark, including interviews with organizers of intercultural arts projects addressing domestic cultural diversity. Finally, the paper suggests that the successful integration of strategies for cultural diversity, cultural diplomacy, domestic cultural exchange, and the arts could lead to a more peaceful society both within and outside Japan.

The role of bars

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Secular evolution and fueling is driven by bars in spiral galaxies, and the related dynamical processes are reviewed. It is shown that gravity torques dominate over viscous torques, and produce gas infall to the center. In this infall, the bar wave accepts the angular momentum, which produces its destruction. In the end, a central mass concentration is build, which also contributes to this destruction. While gas can be stalled at ILR for a while, secondary bars then take over the fueling. In a galaxy life-time, several bar episodes can successively develop. Through external gas accretion, disks are replenished by intermittence, between two bar phases. While the general trend for a galaxy is to evolve towards early-types, its morphology can oscillate, and turn back transiently to later-types.

description: The rubber industry in Shanwei Reclamation Area has grown into a leading industry in the reclamation area, but there are some problems in rubber plantations such as wind damage, neglect of supporting construction for shelter forest in the planting plan, and lack of rubber tappers. For the sustainable development of rubber farming, it is necessary to select the appropriate plot to plant rubber based on the habitat requirements of rubber trees; plan the supporting construction shelter forest network in cultivation of rubber trees; build organic rubber plantations, produce high-quality natural rubber and increase the output value of rubber plantations; use new tapping system to reduce tapping labor, improve tapping benefits and increase income of rubber tappers.

description: Transparent amorphous oxide semiconductors (TAOSs) based transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs) with high field effect mobility are essential for developing advanced flat panel displays. Among TAOSs, amorphous (a-) SnO$_2$ has several advantages against current a-InGaZnO4 such as higher field effect mobility and being indium free. Although a-SnO$_2$ TTFT has been demonstrated several times, the operation mechanism has not been clarified thus far due to the strong gas sensing characteristics of SnO$_2$. Here we clarify the operation mechanism of a-SnO$_2$ TTFT by electric field thermopower modulation analyses. We prepared a bottom-gate top-contact type TTFT using 4.2-nm-thick a-SnO$_2$ as the channel without any surface passivation. The effective thickness of the conducting channel was ~1.7 + - 0.4 nm in air and in vacuum, but a large threshold gate voltage shift occurred in different atmospheres; this is attributed to carrier depletion near at the top surface (~2.5 nm) of the a-SnO$_2$ due to its interaction with the gas molecules and the resulting shift in the Fermi energy. The present results would provide a fundamental design concept to develop a-SnO$_2$ TTFT.

description: This study identified the carbon sequestration potential of the most valued trees species by farmers in Mayuge district, Uganda. Composite soil samples were collected 1.5 to 2 m away from the tree trunk for carbon content and bulk density at two different soil depths (0-15 cm and 15-30 cm). Soil samples were collected from eight trees of each species, 8-10 years old, on a lixic ferralsol within a radius of 5 km, occurring in different land-use types including land which had been under fallow for 8-10 years. Soil carbon stock did not significantly vary between the different trees and averaged 31.54 Mg ha-1 and 27.05 Mg ha-1 for 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm soil depth, respectively. The effect of land-use and depth on soil carbon stock varied with tree species (p<0.05). Implications of these findings to future studies in Agroforestry as well as to communities in the Lake Victoria rural landscapes are discussed in this paper.

description: Two newly observed bands built on a two-quasiparticle configuration in 130Ba have been investigated for the first time with the microscopic projected shell model. The experimental energy spectra and the available electromagnetic transition probabilities are well reproduced. The wobbling character of the higher band is revealed by the angular momentum projected wavefunctions via the K plot and the azimuthal plot. This provides the first strong microscopic evidence for wobbling motion based on a two-quasiparticle configuration in even-even nuclei.
