description: The active late-type star AB Doradus was observed in February 1996 with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph of the Hubble Space Telescope using the low resolution G140L grating. The observations covered one half of the star's rotation cycle (P = 0.514 d) with 11.5 min time resolution. The strong coronal Fe XXI 1354.094 line formed at 10^7 K was analysed and its emission measure (EM) derived. This EM is much higher than that derived from recent XMM-Newton observations (Guedel et al. 2001), and earlier EXOSAT (Collier Cameron et al. 1988) and ASCA/EUVE (Mewe et al. 1996) data, as well, requiring a variability by a factor of 5. The physical reason for the variability remains unknown, since (outside flares) the observed broad band variability of AB Dor is much smaller.

description: Maize is one of the most important crops produced and consumed in Ghana, accounting for 58% of local cereal production. Increasing food prices worldwide and the gap between production and consumption of maize in recent years in Ghana present the country with growing import bills and higher prices for consumers. The purpose of this study was to analyze whether farmers in the northern sector of Ghana have a comparative advantage in the production of maize as import substitution. The effect impact of the fertilizer subsidy program on the yield itself and consequently on the private and social profitability has been tested. Fertilizer subsidy programs are one of the most popular policy programs in Africa. In the mid-90s many countries introduced them to increase crops yield. Household survey data of the cropping season 2010 were collected and complemented with data from different institutions. We applied the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM), to assess policy effects on production systems, and the Cobb-Douglas production function to identify factors affecting the output of each system. The results suggest that production systems with yields above the national average of 1.5 Mt/ha are profitable at private level and contribute to growth of the national economy. Farming systems producing below this threshold report negative social profits, implying that they do not use scarce resources efficiently in the production of maize and depend on government intervention. Policy implications are drown and, in conclusion, we consider essential to combine single policy tools and used in synergy to realize the full efficiency of each.

description: The purpose of this report is to provide national- and state-level policymakers, private-sector investors, civil society, and donors with an analysis of the rural economy of Mon State and pathways to improved prosperity for its population. The analysis is based on a representative survey of rural households, which make up 73% of Mon State’s 2 million residents, and extensive interviews with farmers, traders, processors, local leaders, and government officials. Whereas some parts of the Mon State economy are quite dynamic, such as construction, others are stagnant and far from reaching their full potential. Furthermore, the dynamic sectors are heavily dependent on remittances from migrants to neighboring countries.

description: Forested riparian buffers are implemented by watershed managers to reduce pollutant runoff into waterbodies. They have been shown to accomplish this task in rivers and streams, but few studies have investigated their efficacy around lakes. Hemlock and Canadice are oligo-mesotrophic lakes with reforested watersheds, including a shoreline buffer strip. Immediately to the west and east of Hemlock and Canadice, Conesus and Honeoye lakes are unprotected, meso-eutrophic systems with mostly mixed, forested, agricultural, and developed land uses. This study explored whether having a shoreline forest buffer strip supports a macroinvertebrate community indicative of good water quality in lakes. In addition, this study examined relationships between individual subwatershed land use and biotic indicators of water quality, as determined by benthic macroinvertebrates. Macroinvertebrate community composition showed some dissimilarity between lakes (R = 0.09, p = 0.04), with the largest dissimilarity between Conesus and Honeoye. Comparisons did not follow expected patterns based on land use, management protections, and presence of a shoreline forest buffer strip. No difference was found in a biotic index of water quality between the lakes. The benthic community of each lake was rated as moderately impacted by humans. Subwatershed land use generally did not correlate with biotic indices of water quality within lakes. This finding suggests that near-shore forest buffers had no measurable effect on benthic macroinvertebrate communities and their biotic indicators of water quality. Macroinvertebrate communities in these lakes are likely driven by within-lake habitat conditions and legacy effects of agricultural land.

description: We investigated the thermodynamic property of the heavy fermion superconductor UTe$_2$ in pulsed high magnetic fields. The superconducting transition in zero field was observed at $T_{\rm c}$=1.65 K as a sharp heat capacity jump. Magnetocaloric effect measurements in pulsed-magnetic fields obviously detected a thermodynamic anomaly accompanied by a first-order metamagnetic transition at $μ$$_{0}$$H_{\rm m}$=36.0 T when the fields are applied nearly along the hard-magnetization $b$-axis. From the results of heat capacity measurements in magnetic fields, we found a drastic diverging electronic heat capacity coefficient of the normal state $γ$$_{\rm N}$ with approaching $H_{\rm m}$. Comparing with the previous works via the magnetic Clausius-Clapeyron relation, we unveil the thermodynamic details of the metamagnetic transition. The enhancement of the effective mass observed as the development of $γ_{\rm N}$ indicates that quantum fluctuation strongly evolves around $H_{\rm m}$; it assists the superconductivity emerging even in extremely high fields.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The purpose of the study was to identify the role of commune selfgovernment in sustainable development of environmentally valuable areas in the Lublin Province. Materials and methods: The study was based on the review of the literature in the area and the author’s reflections based on her studies on the functioning of commune self-governments located in environmentally valuable areas which she carried out in 2013 in 30 communes. Results : The realisation of sustainable commune development is possible due to the policy of sustainable development. One of the integral elements of this policy is environmental policy, apart from economic and social policies. Commune self-governments that have been examined in the Lublin Province with reference to their realisation of policy of sustainable development concentrated mainly on environmental policy. They did not support pro-ecological companies sufficiently enough, which was not conducive to the improvement of environmental competitiveness of the communes. Conclusions : The main challenge for implementing the policy of sustainable developement by particular commune self-governments which are environmentally valuable is the activation of cooperation mechanisms aimed at improving environmental competitiveness of the communes.-----Przedmiot i cel pracy: Celem pracy było określenie roli samorządów gminnych w kreowaniu zrównoważonego rozwoju obszarów przyrodniczo cennych województwa lubelskiego. Materiały i metody: Pracę oparto na przeglądzie literatury przedmiotu oraz własnych refleksjach autorki, poczynionych na podstawie badań przeprowadzonych w 2013 r. w 30 gminach, dotyczących funkcjonowania samorządów gmin przyrodniczo cennych. Wyniki : Realizację koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju gminy umożliwia polityka zrównoważonego rozwoju. Jedną z integralnych jej składowych, obok polityki gospodarczej i społecznej, jest polityka ekologiczna. Badane w województwie lubelskim samorządy gminne w realizacji polityki zrównoważonego rozwoju koncentrowały się głównie na polityce ekologicznej. W niedostatecznym stopniu wspierały przedsiębiorstwa proekologiczne, co nie sprzyjało poprawie konkurencyjności przyrodniczej badanych gmin. Wnioski : Wyzwaniem dla polityki zrównoważonego rozwoju władz samorządowych gmin przyrodniczo cennych jest uruchomienie mechanizmu współpracy na rzecz wzrostu konkurencyjności przyrodniczej tych gmin.

description: In some previous works, the analytic structure of the spectrum of a quantum graph operator as a function of the vertex conditions and other parameters of the graph was established. However, a specific local coordinate chart on the Grassmanian of all possible vertex conditions was used, thus creating an erroneous impression that something ``wrong'' can happen at the boundaries of the chart. Here we show that the analyticity of the corresponding ``dispersion relation'' holds over the whole Grassmannian, as well as over other parameter spaces. We also address the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) technique of relating quantum and discrete graph operators, which allows one to transfer some results from the discrete to the quantum graph case, but which has issues at the Dirichlet spectrum. We conclude that this difficulty, as in the first part of the paper, stems from the use of specific coordinates in a Grassmannian and show how to avoid it to extend some of the consequent results to the general situation.

description: The importance of zooplankton as a food resource for higher trophic levels, including threatened and endangered salmon species, highlights the need to improve our understanding of the mechanisms that structure reservoir food webs. Pelagic plankton are the dominant primary and secondary producers in reservoirs experiencing extreme water level fluctuations (WLFs). In these systems, we might expect WLFs to promote predictable and homogenized biotic communities. Here we explored whether spring and summer zooplankton communities are homogenized in Pacific Northwest (USA) flood-control reservoirs managed with annual extreme WLFs. In addition, we evaluated whether community resilience is present in a reservoir that has been drained annually since 2011 for salmon passage. We sampled 4 reservoirs during spring and summer, including 1 that was fully drained, resulting in a lotic riverine environment, for 1 week each fall from 2012 to 2016. We found low beta diversity across reservoirs, indicating homogenized communities. Additionally, we did not observe changes across sample years or increased differences in species composition compared to historical data. Instead, we observed strong seasonal transitions that were predictably repeated each year. Our findings support the hypothesis that extreme WLFs, under which these reservoirs have been managed for >50 years, may have structured reservoir zooplankton communities such that they are resilient to even more dramatic draining. Understanding how WLFs and reservoir draining may impact zooplankton will be critical to minimizing unintended consequences of reservoir management on aquatic food webs.

description: The first results of a study of the the dwarf spheroidal galaxy, Leo I, using the new Japanese-South African Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) are presented. J,H,K_{s} observations show that most, if not all, of at least the top one magnitude of the AGB is populated by carbon stars. These objects form a tight sequence in the K_{s} - (J-K_{s}) plane. In addition there are five very red objects which are believed to be dust enshrouded AGB stars. They have Mbol near -5.0 and are at the AGB tip. Comparison with carbon Miras in Magellanic Cloud clusters and taking into account other evidence on the ages and metallicities of Leo I populations suggests that these obscured stars belong to the youngest significant population of Leo I and have ages of ~2 Gyr. Some of them can be shown to be variable.

Materials and methods: The study has analysed the results of research by various, mainly foreign, authors concerning the treatment of the forest environment in Poland referred to as “forest therapy”, “sylwotherapy.” Results : Research has shown that being in a forest environment helps to preserve mental balance, strengthens the immune system and stimulates organism’s regeneration. Differences in the impact of different types of forests were also observed. Pine forests calm down, lower blood pressure and help the respiratory system. Broadleaved forests stimulate, improve mood and enhance the ability to concentrate by affecting various aspects of human life. Conclusion : The results of the analyses show that in Poland the interest in forest therapy could be another form of raising public awareness by informing people how important is the role of the forest, not only in nature but also for human health.-----Przedmiot i cel pracy: Przedmiotem pracy są obszary przyrodniczo cenne, a celem zaprezentowanie korzystnego działania środowiska leśnego tych obszarów na organizm człowieka.

Wyniki : Badania udowodniły, że przebywanie w środowisku leśnym pozwala zachować równowagę psychiczną, wzmacnia układ odpornościowy i pobudza organizm do odnowy. Zaobserwowano również różnice w oddziaływaniu poszczególnych typów lasów. Bory sosnowe działają uspokajająco, obniżają ciśnienie i wspomagają układ oddechowy. Liściaste grądy działają pobudzająco, poprawiają nastrój i wspomagają zdolność koncentracji oddziałując na różne aspekty życia człowieka. Wnioski : Wyniki analiz ukazują, iż w Polsce, zainteresowanie lasoterapii mogłoby stanowić kolejną formę dotarcia do świadomości społeczeństwa z informacjami, jak ważną rolę pełni las, nie tylko w przyrodzie, ale także dla zdrowia człowieka.

description: We compute concurrence, a measure of bipartite entanglement, of the first excited state of the $1$-D Heisenberg frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$ spin-chain and observe a sudden change in the entanglement of the eigen state near the coupling strength $α=J_2/J_1\approx0.241$, where a quantum phase transition from spin-fluid phase to dimer phase has been previously reported. We numerically observe this phenomena for spin-chain with $8$ sites to $16$ sites, and the value of $α$ at which the change in entanglement is observed asymptotically tends to a value $α_c\approx0.24116$. We have calculated the finite-size scaling exponents for spin chains with even and odd spins. It may be noted that bipartite as well as multipartite entanglement measures applied on the ground state of the system, fail to detect any quantum phase transition from the gapless to the gapped phase in the $1$-D Heisenberg frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$ spin-chain. Furthermore, we measure bipartite entanglement of first excited states for other spin models like $2$-D Heisenberg $J_1$-$J_2$ model and Shastry-Sutherland model and find similar indications of quantum phase transitions.

description: This paper documents the process of developing four complete compositions for a large jazz orchestra, which constitute a substantial contribution to the new knowledge presented in this thesis. The central aim is to explore how selected one-minute piano improvisations can be expanded into larger ensemble pieces, utilising a practice-led research method that emphasises experimentation, self-recording and reflective composition. The process employs innovative arranging techniques that adopt 'group creation and social activity', recognising the value of participant musicians' insights in shaping narrative-driven practice. The methodology integrates recorded improvisations, group improvisational events and a feedback loop, all serving as generative tools for composing. This approach is underpinned by progressive composing techniques and related literature. The key authors I draw upon include Bernhart and Englund, Butch Morris, Michael Hannan, Barney McAll, Bruno Nettl and Keith Sawyer, whose works have affected narrative-driven practices. This exegesis has generated through storytelling in composing and arranging, with particular attention given to the final compositions of 1441, Wind and the End, Spit or Speak and Lunar Eclipse, documenting the compositional journey and the evolution of the narrative in the composing process. Findings demonstrate that merging practical musicianship with reflective analysis offers several benefits, such as revealing new artistic domains and enhancing self-reflective processes. The research has established diverse composing styles, contributing considerably to the idiom of the jazz orchestra. The enhancement of my compositional practice was realised through targeted problem-solving, heightened situational awareness during improvisation sessions, and effective project management. This model supports musicians in navigating various roles - listener, evaluator, conductor, assessor, writer, performer, composer - encouraging them to draw upon their experiences to foster individual growth. Finally, it suggests a continuous feedback loop as a mechanism for artists to maintain 'mind-sketch' practice, aligning improvisational creativity with personal and professional objectives in music.

description: The study of the visible colours of the trans-Neptunian objects opened a discussion almost 20 years ago which, in spite of the increase in the amount of available data, seems far from subside. Visible colours impose constraints to the current theories of the early dynamical evolution of the Solar System such as the environment of formation, initial surface composition, and how (if) they were scattered to regions closer to the inner planets. In this paper we present an updated version of our database of absolute colours and relative phase coefficients for 117 objects. We define the absolute colours as the difference of the absolute magnitudes $H_V-H_R$, and the relative phase coefficient as the difference of the slopes of the phase curves $Δβ$. These were obtained joining our own observations plus data from the literature. The methodology has been introduced in previous works and here we expand in some interesting results, in particular the strong anti-correlation found between $H_V-H_R$ and $Δβ$, which means that redder objects have steeper phase curves in the R filter, while bluer objects have steeper phase curves in the V filter. We analyse a series of results published in the literature in view of our database, which is free of phase effects, and show that their statistical meaning is not very strong. We point out that phase-colouring and observational errors play an important role in the understanding of these proposed relationships.

description: An Earth orbiting detector sensitive to gamma ray photons will see step-like occultation features in its counting rate when a gamma ray point source crosses the Earth's limb. This is due to the change in atmospheric attenuation of the gamma rays along the line of sight. In an uncollimated detector, these occultation features can be used to locate and monitor astrophysical sources provided their signals can be individually separated from the detector background. We show that the Earth occultation technique applied to the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) is a viable and flexible all-sky monitor in the low energy gamma ray and hard X-ray energy range (20 keV - 1 MeV). The method is an alternative to more sophisticated photon imaging devices for astronomy, and can serve well as a cost-effective science capability for monitoring the high energy sky. Here we describe the Earth occultation technique for locating new sources and for measuring source intensity and spectra without the use of complex background models. Examples of transform imaging, step searches, spectra, and light curves are presented. Systematic uncertainties due to source confusion, detector response, and contamination from rapid background fluctuations are discussed and analyzed for their effect on intensity measurements. A sky location-dependent average systematic error is derived as a function of galactic coordinates. The sensitivity of the technique is derived as a function of incident photon energy and also as a function of angle between the source and the normal to the detector entrance window. Occultations of the Crab Nebula by the Moon are used to calibrate Earth occultation flux measurements independent of possible atmospheric scattering effects.

description: Developing reconfigurable millimeter-wave (mmWave) antennas and devices is an outstanding challenge, with switch technologies being a primary impediment. Recently, it has been shown that vanadium dioxide (VO2), a thermochromic material whose resistance changes with temperature, could provide a path forward in developing reconfigurable mmWave devices. As an initial step towards this vision, we investigate the integration of VO2 switches in reconfigurable components at 15 GHz. In particular, a frequency reconfigurable antenna and a reconfigurable phase shifter are shown. The low loss and minimal parasitics of VO2 technology have the potential to enable devices at 15 GHz and beyond.

description: We have studied the evolution of the thermoelectric power S(T) with oxygen doping of single-layered Bi2Sr2CuO6+d thin films and ceramics in the overall superconducting (Tc, S290K) phase diagram. While the universal relation between the room-temperature thermopower S290K and the critical temperature is found to hold in the strongly overdoped region (d>0.14), a strong violation is observed in the underdoped part of the phase diagram. The observed behaviour is compared with other cuprates and the different scenarios are discussed.

description: The consumption of the Changning–Menglian Palaeo-Tethys ocean in the Triassic formed the Lincang granitic batholith in the southwestern China, once the oceanic supra-subduction zone. The batholith provides us a critical window to understand the nature of the crustal basements and the process of Palaeo-Tethyan termination. Here we report zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopes, and whole-rock elements and Sr-Nd isotopes of granitic samples from the central part of the Lincang batholith. The geochemical results reveal two genetic types of granites indicated by low-K and high-K affinities, respectively. The Group 1 low-K granitoids dated at 237–229 Ma are low-K calc-alkaline and metaluminous to peraluminous (A/CNK = 0.75–1.29), with K2O contents of 0.13–1.33 wt%, K2O/Na2O ratios of 0.03–0.30, Rb/Sr ratios < 0.18, and initial 87Sr/86Sr = 0.71693 and εNd(t) = −10.8. In contrast, the Group 2 high-K granitoids dated at 239–200 Ma are calc-alkaline and peraluminous (A/CNK = 1.02–1.20), with higher K2O contents (3.15–4.7 wt%), K2O/Na2O ratios (1.15–2.00) and Rb/Sr ratios (0.77–2.62), and more enriched isotopic compositions (initial 87Sr/86Sr = 0.73129 to 0.74037, εNd(t) = −13.1 to −11.0) as well as highly negative zircon εHf(t) values of −16.8 to −6.7. The formation time of these granitoids is compatible with that of the post-collision of the Palaeo-Tethys, subsequently to the magmatic gap (250–240 Ma) coupling with the syn-collision stage. The magmatic source discriminations suggest that the low-K granitoids were derived from partial melting of the dehydrated low-K amphibolite source and the high-K granitoids were dominantly from the psammitic source with minor mantle-derived magma involvement. Using the geochemical variations of the granitic rocks related to the Palaeo-Tethyan closure, we reveal melting of multiple crustal sources rather than a sole source to construct the Lincang batholith.

description: We report an increase of more than 0.2 mag in the optical brightness of the leading image (A) of the gravitational lens Q0957+561, detected during the 09/2000 -- 06/2001 monitoring campaign (2001 observing season). The brightening is similar to or even greater than the largest change ever detected during the 20 years of monitoring of this system. We discuss two different provisional explanations to this event: intrinsic source variability or microlensing (either short timescale microlensing or cessation of the historical microlensing). An exhaustive photometric monitoring of Q0957+561 is needed until summer of 2002 and during 2003 to discriminate between these possibilities.
