title: The Pathogenicity of Blue-stain Fungi on Lodgepole Pines Attacked by Mountain Pine Beetle
Creators: name: Ballard, Richard Grant
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: In the western regions of North America, mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopk., infestations take a tremendous toll of pines , especially lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Dougl. var. latifolia Engelm.. Mass attack by the beetles is a devastating event for the trees. As well as girdling the tree, a massive inoculation of blue stain fungus "complex" (composed of several species of Ceratocystis, numerous yeasts and other mycelial fungi) is made beneath the bark. These fungi colonize and destroy the parenchyma tissue system of the host sapwood, primarily the ray parenchyma and resin duct epithelium.
A blue stain is produced in the sapwood as a consequence of destruction of the sapwood parenchyma. The stain develops inward through the sapwood, and the transpiration stream is cut off. As more and more sapwood is stained, foliar water stress begins to increase. Foliage however, remains green and apparently healthy for up to 10 months after inoculation. When spring bud break begins the year following beetle attack, terminal buds of blue-stained trees begin to expand, then abort. Soon after, the needles of these trees fade to a reddish brown color.
Transpiration stream disruption was not caused by penetration of tracheids by fungal hyphae; tyloses were not observed; nor was microconidial blockage of bordered pits seen. Though resin duct epithelium was eventually destroyed, little resin soaking was observed in the initial blue stained regions. Many bordered pits of tracheids in stained regions appeared to be aspirated, suggesting introduction of embolisms.

The role of cultural expression, practice, and transmission among the Rakhine of Southwestern Coastal Bangladesh
Creators: name: Poon, H L-Y
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Central to the discourse surrounding cultural preservation and transmission is the notion that culture provides meaning and identity for groups of people (Taylor, DM & Usborne 2010). However, in developing contexts, the transmission or mediation of culture may be interrupted by subsistence brought about by poverty or trauma in ways that affect and have an impact upon learning, meaning, identity, and resilience (Feuerstein, Feuerstein & Falik 2010, Taylor, 2010 #310). This study explores the significance of cultural practices, such as weaving, food consumption, festivals, language, and religion, for Rakhine communities living in Bangladesh. Specifically, the study considers how these practices can foster empowerment, participation, and resilience in the face of poverty and marginalisation. Immersive field trips in 2016 and 2017 involved collecting data relating to these cultural practices and participant views on their significance. That work included arts-based workshops, semistructured interviews, participant observation, and photography. Precarity and intersectionality were deployed as conceptual and analytical frameworks by which to understand the effects of poverty and marginalisation for the Rakhine. My analysis establishes that, first, these are useful lenses through which to explore the power dynamics and the limitations of traditional development work assumptions about poverty; second, that cultural preservation and transmission are important to cultural identity, meaning, and resilience; and a third insight relates to the effect of poverty and marginalisation on cultural transmission. For example, as shown by the stories told by participants, weaving is a way to make a living and to interact, share experiences, establish a collective identity, and maintain traditional practices. Other cultural practices such as eating traditional foods, speaking Rakhine, being Buddhist, and participating in cultural festivals serve those involved in similar ways. Together these forms of cultural practices are significant for sustaining empowerment, participation, and resilience for a community of people.
title: The Visual Decision Making Process as a Technique for Redistributing Outdoor Recreation Use
Creators: name: Hahn, Martha Gail
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: The demand for recreation on public lands has been growing steadily, resulting in undesirable impacts on certain resources as well as recreation experiences. The problem addressed by this research is the uneven distribution of recreational use that causes a concentration of impacts. This thesis describes the development and testing of a method to reduce the uneven/concentrated recreation use occurring on the public lands.
The basic objectives of the study were to determine the effectiveness of redistributing recreationists by the use of photographs and a decisional process using photographic information and to identify its potential as a tool in meeting management objectives.
The experimental treatment device was the Visual Decision Making Process consisting of color photographs, a map and a selection matrix used in the decision-tree to match people to places that would best suit their needs.
Recreationists were surveyed on three different weekends during the spring season of 1980 in the San Rafael Swell of southeastern Utah. People who had been contacted during that time were randomly assigned to treatment or no-treatment control groups. A home interview was conducted prior to the 1981 spring recreation season. After the season, both the treatment and no-treatment control groups were contacted for posttest questioning. Data were collected from the contact questioning, observation, and posttest questionnaires.
The results indicated that recreation use was influenced by the Visual Decision Making Process, but only a small percentage of people who went through the process went to an area they chose. While the major influence of the process was not significantly proven, there seemed to be a trend in change behavior. This small percentage of change may be an adequate amount to meet management objectives of lessening impacts.
It was also found that persons driving four-wheel drive vehicles and larger groups were significantly more influenced to redistribute than car/pickup drivers and smaller groups.
Recommendations are made for management practices to reduce uneven/ concentrated recreation use and suggestions for further research are offered.
title: Relationship Between Rainfall and Storm Runoff For Selected Arizona Watersheds
Creators: name: Anderson, Robert James
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The relationship between rainfall and runoff was examined for twelve selected Arizona watersheds. Expedient runoff volume model coefficients and runoff curve number model parameters were examined using standardized structure, with modifications to adjust the model for small initial abstractions and large watershed storage capacity.
Forest-land management practices were examined for their effects on curve number coefficients. The effects of rainfall characteristics were also evaluated with respect to changes they induce in curve number populations.
Evaluations included a runoff fraction, a simple multiplier of storm volume to produce runoff volume. The accuracy of this model is promising for more permeable watersheds.

description: Numerical study of momentum-dependent gap function is presented to make clear the origin of superconductivity in copper oxides. We claim that antinodal region with pronounced nesting feature of the Fermi contour gives rise to superconducting pairing with large momentum under screened Coulomb repulsion. Such a pairing results in both spatial checkerboard pattern of the superconducting state below Tc and a gapped state of incoherent pairs in a broad temperature range above Tc. We explain the momentum dependence of the coherent spectral weight detected in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and predict antinodal Bogoliubov quasiparticle interference other than observed in the nodal region.

He gave Rose a rose : the use of cues to capitalisation by children and adults
Creators: name: Hawkey, EK
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Capitalisation is an important spelling feature, used for proper nouns and sentence-initial words, that has been neglected in previous research and theories. A new theory, Integration of Multiple Patterns (IMP; Treiman & Kessler, 2014) suggests that people make spelling decisions on the basis of converging linguistic cues. Unlike traditional theories, which focus on letter patterns and relationships, IMP applies to broader spelling functions, but has been tested only retrospectively. The current study represents the first prospective test of IMP: assessing whether capital use increases as capitalisation cues accumulate. A capitalisation fill-in-the-blanks task and a standardised spelling task were completed to dictation by 205 students (65 primary, 60 secondary, and 80 university). The results demonstrated that primary students did benefit from accumulating cues, capitalising two-cue words (sentence-initial proper nouns) significantly more than one-cue words (sentence-medial proper nouns and sentence-initial common nouns) and these more than no-cue words (sentence-medial common nouns). Within the one-cue conditions, they capitalised proper nouns significantly more often than sentence-initial words. Conversely, secondary and university students capitalised one-cue words just as well as two-cue words. These results support IMP as a framework for primary children's spelling acquisition, and suggest that capitalisation should be revised in late primary school.

Year: 2023

description: Inhibitory control, the ability to inhibit movement, is a vital component of everyday executive functioning. The current study creates a novel version of the stop signal task and go/no-go task where participants are required to respond with both hands to changing stimuli which require either a go response (button press) stop/no-go response (inhibit button press) or ignore response (continue current response). Behavioural responses such as RT and accuracy as well as physiological responses using electromyography were taken to assess inhibitory control within the context the pause then cancel model and unexpected events as a factor of inhibition. 24 participants (Mage = 24.5 years) completed four experimental conditions where generalized linear mixed models were used to assess results finding that the addition of an unexpected ignore signal had similar effects as a signal which required stopping, however this effect was minimised in conditions where there was no possibility of stopping required. It was also discovered that participants implemented a proactive method of inhibition in conditions where stopping was required.
title: Nutrition and Feeding Behavior of Goats and Sheep Grazing Deciduous Shrub-Woodland in Northeastern Brazil
Creators: name: Pfister, James Alan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: Production of sheep and goats in the Brazilian Northeast is important for the livelihood of both subsistence and market-oriented producers. Seasonal nutritional stress oh animals in the caatinga vegetational zone of this region causes periodic high mortality and chronically low productivity. Under such conditions, the survivability of goats has been higher than for other domestic livestock. Possible reasons for this include unique aspects of dietary selection and goat feeding behavior. The objectives of this research were to seasonally determine the botanical and nutritive content of goat and sheep diets, to determine forage intake by grazing goats and sheep, and to compare their feeding behavior.
Dietary selections by sheep and goats were similar during the dry season, but diverged markedly during the wet season. Leaf litter from the deciduous trees was the major dietary component for both species during the dry season, and provided the bulk of dry season forage.
Current hypotheses predict that goats select diets of higher nutritional quality and have a greater forage intake than do sheep. Goats selected diets significantly (P.05) in cell wall content, and lower (P
This study confirmed the vertical stratification of foraging by goats and sheep. Sheep foraged more in lower vertical strata than did goats. Goats spent about 4% of their grazing time in a bipedal stance, while sheep virtually never used a bipedal stance to feed. In addition, no nutritional advantage was found for goats over sheep through use of a bipedal stance. This latter finding is constrained by the deciduous nature of the caatinga woodland during the dry season.

title: Sheep Diets and Feeding Behavior in Single and Common Use Grazing Trials on Southwestern Utah Summer Range
Creators: name: Ruyle, George B
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: A series of grazing trials were conducted on high elevation summer range near Cedar City, Utah . Cattle and sheep were stocked alone and in common in .4 hectare (ha) paddocks. Stocking rates were .76 ha/AUM in 1981 and .60 ha/AUM in 1982. Vegetation measurements were taken before and after grazing treatments to quantify vegetation disappearance. Diet samples were collected from esophageally fistulated sheep in the paddocks before grazing treatments were applied. After a predetermined level of forage utilization was achieved, the paddocks were re-sampled by the esophageally fistulated sheep to examine diets consumed from the forage-reduced vegetation. Behavioral observations were made throughout the trials on sheep grazing alone and with cattle. The length of time sheep spent at a feeding station, feeding station interval, was measured.
Sheep ate less grass and more forbs and shrubs than cattle. Cattle showed a strong reluctance to browse snowberry (Symphoricarpos oreophilus) even when the herbaceous vegetation was greatly reduced. Utilization of grasses, forbs and shrubs in the common use paddocks did not represent an average of the utilization by cattle and sheep each grazing alone. Cattle and sheep grazing together used more forage, especially snowberry, than calculated from single use averages.
The diets of esophageally fistulated sheep were altered by the various grazing treatments. Diets consumed from previously ungrazed paddocks were higher in forbs, in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) and crude protein (CP) and lower in fiber than those diets consumed after paddocks had been grazed. Sheep consumed diets higher in IVOMD but lower in CP in paddocks previously grazed by sheep than where cattle had grazed alone or in commonly grazed paddocks. Sheep selected diets from the remaining herbaceous layer when grazing after sheep but ate mostly snowberry when grazing after cattle. Diets of sheep consumed subsequent to common use grazing were intermediate containing both snowberry and grasses.
Sheep adjusted their feeding behavior as the grazing trials progressed by increasing the number of brief feeding station intervals. This trend was consistent regardless of whether sheep grazed alone or in common with cattle. However, when sheep grazed with cattle, longer feeding station station intervals persisted further into the grazing trials indicating that amounts of acceptable forage per feeding station were not reduced as quickly as when sheep grazed alone.
Embodying of the Gitano self: fiesta and identity among the Gitanos flamencos

description: Flamenco does not belong only to Gitanos (Spanish Roma or Gypsies) and has transcended culture-specific beginnings to be considered universal. Yet it is the Spanish cultural manifestation most associated with Gitanos, by themselves and by the majority society, that is an important element of their ethnic identity. Based on many years of participant observation of flamenco in the context of the “fiesta flamenca” (literally “flamenco party”) we explore some of the ways in which the expression of flamenco singing (cante), rhythm (compás) (and dance as an occasional reflection of this music) is not only the means of entertainment, but also the language of communication. As a significant element of their identity, it is the cement, which holds together the participants, at the same time that the subtle but significant differences in the cante and compás reflect subtle but important differences of identity among different groups of Gitanos.

description: No presente trabalho abordo a preparação para a performance de música eletroacústica mista em tempo real. Baseado em questões levantadas pela produção académica dos últimos trinta anos discuto a minha experiência com o estudo e a performance pública da obra Mutazione, para violão e eletrónica em tempo real (2008) do compositor Rael Gimenes. Autores como Silva (2007), Pestova (2008) e Rocha (2010) alegam que, no contexto da prática de música eletroacústica mista, é recorrente a condição em que obras para instrumento e live electronics sejam previamente estudadas sem as estruturas necessárias para a performance. McNutt (2003), Hamm (2003) e Yoder (2010) enfatizam que tal condição pode inviabilizar o conhecimento sobre o funcionamento dos processos interativos, dificultando um bom desempenho do músico no palco. Neste trabalho exponho as condições de preparação e performance da obra Mutazione em três situações distintas, com base na literatura discuto alguns fatores ocorridos no processo e faço considerações acerca das condições de performance com este tipo de repertório e as implicações do processo de estudo.

description: As bandas filarmónicas são das manifestações culturais mais significativas da vida social portuguesa, sobretudo, nas regiões centro e norte do país onde têm grande atuação nas festas religiosas das localidades apresentando-se em diversos momentos das celebrações como nas missas, procissões e concertos, segundo André Granjo (Granjo 2005). Paralelamente observa-se que, no contexto do associativismo migrante, o elo de memória com os costumes portugueses é estabelecido nas celebrações e instituições criadas pelos migrantes que constituem verdadeiros lugares de memória, na acepção de Pierre Nora (Nora 1993) nos quais as representações simbólicas e ritualizações portuguesas são materializadas, dentre elas, as bandas filarmónicas. O estudo que realizo aborda essa realidade na cidade do Rio de Janeiro onde, desde 1920, foram criadas cerca de sete bandas civis amadoras por migrantes portugueses, das quais duas permanecem em atividade. Nesse sentido, desenvolvi extensa revisão de literatura sobre migração portuguesa, pesquisa em periódicos locais e na Internet, contatei músicos e dirigentes associativos e desenvolvi trabalho de campo em Portugal e nos Estados Unidos. O cruzamento de todas estas fontes permitiu-me realizar um mapeamento da distribuição das bandas filarmónicas portuguesas (BFP) em atividade nos países de destino da migração portuguesa.

description: Phenological studies of coneflower on aspen range in Northern Utah showed that resumption of growth of mature plants begins at the time of snow melt and the initial or rosette stage is completed between mid-May and mid- June. The rate of growth in this stage is controlled by temperature, being greater at higher mean temperatures. The bolting stage is completed about 1 week after the initiation of stem elongation and the process of capitulum development is begun. Flowering is initiated between late July and mid- August. Cross-pollination is necessary for seed set which is completed by the end of August. Seed dissemination is begun at that time and is completed by the middle of September. Altitude appeared to have an effect on the extent of seed filling, since collections from higher altitudes had lower percentages of filled seeds.
Seedling mortality increases as the season advances and reaches a maximum at the end of June when the associated species begin rapid growth. During the first season seedling growth is restricted to one unelongated stem and three leaves. Shoot/root ratios indicated that the main development during this season is in the roots.
Optimum controlled conditions for seed germination are alternating temperatures of 25 C-15C with 8 hour photoperiods coinciding with the periods of higher temperature. A constant temperature of 25 C or alternating temperatures of 15 C-5C or constant darkness under any of the temperature regimes give lower germination percentages.
Growth chamber studies demonstrated that coneflower is a long day plant since normal development to the seed setting stage is obtained under 18 hour photoperiods but not under 12 hour photoperiods when temperature alternations of 25 C-15 C are used. Low temperature stratification of the crown buds is not required for normal development.
A series of field experiments showed that coneflower does not inhibit the growth of an important associated grass species--mountain brome. Laboratory experiments with foliage leachate gave no evidence of inhibitory effects on the germination or growth of other species. Force-feeding of sheep with whole dried plants collected at the seed set stage showed no toxicity for these animals.
Total non-structural carbohydrates increase in the aerial parts of the plant as the growing season progressed up to the seed set stage and decreases thereafter until death of the aerial parts. Carbohydrates in the roots show a reverse trend.
Two or three clippings applied to the rosette stage resulted in death of the plants. Failure of regrowth after these clippings was probably due to exhaustion of the supply of mature buds on the crown rather than being due to exhaustion of food reserves since significant concentrations of nonstructural carbohydrates were still present in the roots of these dead plants.

description: Light (anti-)nuclei in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are considered to be formed by the coalescence mechanism of (anti-)nucleons in the present work. Using a dynamical phase-space coalescence model coupled with a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model, we explore the formation of light clusters such as deuteron, triton and their anti-particles in different centralities for $^{197}$Au + $^{197}$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 39$ GeV. The calculated transverse momentum spectra of protons, deuterons, and tritons are comparable to those of experimental data from the RHIC-STAR collaboration. Both coalescence parameters $B_{2}$ for (anti-)deuteron and $B_{3}$ for triton increase with the transverse momentum as well as the collision centrality, and they are comparable with the measured values in experiments. The effect of system size on the production of light nuclei is also investigated by $^{10}$B + $^{10}$B, $^{16}$O + $^{16}$O, $^{40}$Ca + $^{40}$Ca, and $^{197}$Au + $^{197}$Au systems in central collisions. The results show that yields of light nuclei increase with system size, while the values of coalescence parameters present an opposite trend. It is interesting to see that the system size, as well as the centrality dependence of $B_A$ ($A$ = 2, 3), falls into the same group, which further demonstrates production probability of light nuclei is proportional to the size of the fireball. Furthermore, we compare our coalescence results with other models, such as the thermal model and analytic coalescence model, it seems that the description of light nuclei production is consistent with each other.

description: Words that are spoken aloud are remembered more effectively in relation to words that are read silently; this is known as the production effect. This study investigated what effects cognitive demand has on the production effect, in order to explore the limits of this robust effect. Additional cognitive demand was introduced by using mirror-reversed words. A convenience sample of 19 participants was recruited for this study (7 females and 12 males). The mean age of participants was 29.9 years (range 18 to 50, SD = 11.1). All participants studied mixed lists of words; half that were to be read aloud and the other half to remembered silently. Some participants saw these words normally (a 'Standard group'), while others saw them mirror-reversed (a 'Mirrored' group). All participants were then tested on these words using a recognition test, once after study and once more the day after. Results show a clear production effect both on the day of study and after. However, there was no significant difference between the Standard and Mirrored groups, suggesting that cognitive demand had no significant effect on the production effect in this study. However, this may be due to a lack of a large enough sample size.

description: The data analysis indicated that travel distance, user age, and user income level are important determinants of use of trout streams.
These variables were incorporated into regression analysis to develop a use-prediction model.
This use-prediction model was used to determine predicted use levels of sample streams. The predicted use levels combined with travel costs and expenditures on new fishing equipment were used to derive a statistical estimate of the demand schedules for the sample streams.
These statistical demand curves were subjected to consumer surplus procedures to determine the values of the sample streams.

The data correspond to 1.07 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. The observed cross section for WW+WZ production is 20.2 +/- 4.5 pb, consistent with the SM prediction of 16.1 +/- 0.9 pb. The probability for background fluctuations to produce an excess equal to or larger than that observed is estimated to be 5.4e-6, corresponding to a significance of 4.4 standard deviations.

description: Within the nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics framework, we make a comprehensive study on the exclusive production of excited charmonium and bottomonium in $e^+e^-\to γ^*/Z^0 \to|(Q\bar{Q})[n]\rangle +γ$ ($Q=c$ or $b$ quarks) at future $Z$ factory, where the $[n]$ represents the color-singlet $n^1S_0,~n^3S_1,~n^1P_0$ and $n^3P_J$ ($n=1,2,3,4; J=0,1,2$) Fock states. The "improved trace technology" is adopted to derive the analytic expressions at the amplitude level, which is useful for calculating the complicated $nP$-wave channels. Total cross sections, differential distributions, and uncertainties are discussed in system. According to our study, production rates of heavy quarkonia of high excited Fock states are considerable at future $Z$ factory. The cross sections of charmonium for $2S$, $3S$, $4S$, $1P$, $2P$, $3P$ and $4P$-wave states are about $53.5\%$, $30.4\%$, $23.7\%$, $13.7\%$, $6.8\%$, $9.2\%$, and $9.2\%$ of that of the $1S$ state, respectively. And cross sections of bottomonium for $2S$, $3S$, $4S$, $1P$, $2P$, $3P$ and $4P$-wave states are about $39.3\%$, $12.3\%$, $14.3\%$, $7.1\%$, $3.1\%$, $2.7\%$, and $3.1\%$ of that of the $1S$ state, respectively. The main uncertainties come from the radial wave functions at the origin and their derivatives at the origin under different potential models. Then, such super $Z$ factory should be a good platform to study the properties of the high excited charmonium and bottomonium states.

Playing politics with national unity; or, The role of political leadership in secession on the Indian subcontinent: the partition of 1947 and the secession of 1971
Creators: name: Swaab, Selma
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis represents an attempt to explain the phenomenon of secession through the role of political leadership in the Partition of India in 1947 and the secession of East Pakistan from West Pakistan in 1971. Although there is no single factor, which by itself, adequately explains secession, it is assumed in this thesis that political leadership, as one factor in many, is one of the more important, if not the most important, variables in understanding the occurrence of secession and of movements directed toward that goal. One of the two major hypotheses underlying this analysis is that the primary goal of political leaders is to obtain and maintain positions of political power and authority from where they can affect the polity which they seek to rule. The second hypothesis is that secession is a means or a leadership strategy in the struggle for authority whereby political leaders seek to gain their primary goal. Given this perspective on secession, the body of the thesis is concerned mainly with leadership interaction and with the bargains and negotiations between leaders which focus and limit their course of action in the struggle for authority. It is this narrowing down of alternative courses of action which ultimately propels leaders into adopting secessionist-oriented policies.
title: An Autecological Study of Dyers Woad (Isatis tinctoria L.) on Utah Rangeland
Creators: name: Fuller, Ann T.

description: Northern Utah rangelands have become infested with dyers woad (Isatis tinctoria L.) and control is needed. Mechanical and chemical control on rangelands produce undesirable effects. A possible alternative is biological control, but information is not available on plant response to this control method. This autecological study and simulation of control methods examined dyers woad phenology, seed endurance and response to simulated grazing, hand rogueing and plowing. The phenology study documented dyers woad growth patterns from May 1982 to November 1983. During the first year, 65 percent of the seedlings died while the remaining 35 percent grew rosette leaves. During the following growing season, 50 percent of the remaining population flowered and died. The other 50 percent continued to grow rosette leaves. The seed endurance study showed seed viability remaining high and relatively stable, but germination decreased during the ten month study period. Methods used indicate future germination and viability studies should more closely simulate field conditions. The simulation of control methods involved clipping dyers woad once at three different heights to simulate grazing, hand rogueing and plowing on three different dates that correspond with the phenological stages of initial rosette growth, pre-bolting, and post-bolting. Simulated grazing stimulated plant survival and growth. Simulated plowing and hand rogueing reduced plant survival. Treatment at all three levels after initial rosette growth depressed flowering for one year. Treatment to simulate plowing and hand rogueing during initial rosette growth depressed flowering compared to the untreated controls. Treatment early in the growing season did not significantly affect plants receiving simulated grazing. Seed production was depressed by simulated plowing but was promoted by simulated hand rogueing when compared to untreated controls. The ability of plants to survive and/or flower after treatment could not be predicted from this study because a one time clipping of dyers woad did not produce significant population decreases. A more severe treatment in the form of more clippings per season is suggested for future study.

Opinion: Eliminating aircraft soot emissions

description: Soot from aircraft engines deteriorates air quality around airports and can contribute to climate change primarily by influencing cloud processes and contrail formation. Simultaneously, aircraft engines emit CO2, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and other pollutants which also negatively affect human health and the environment. While urgent action is needed to reduce all pollutants, strategies to reduce one pollutant may increase another, calling for a need to decrease, for example, the uncertainty associated with soot’s contribution to net Radiative Forcing (RF) in order to design targeted policies that minimize the formation and release of all pollutants. Aircraft soot is characterized by rather small median mobility diameters, dm = 8 – 60 nm, and at high thrust, low (< 25 %) organic carbon to total carbon (OC/TC) ratios while at low thrust the OC/TC can be quite high. Computational models could aid in the design of new aircraft combustors to reduce emissions, but current models struggle to capture the soot dm, and volume fraction, fv measured experimentally. This may be in part due to oversimplification of soot’s irregular morphology in models and a still poor understanding of soot inception. Nonetheless, combustor design can significantly reduce soot emissions through extensive oxidation or near-premixed, lean combustion. For example, lean premixed prevaporized combustors significantly reduce emissions at high thrust by allowing injected fuel to fully vaporize before ignition while low temperatures from very lean jet fuel combustion limit the formation of NOx. Alternative fuels can be used alongside improved combustor technologies to reduce soot emissions. However, current policies and low supply promote the blending of alternative fuels at low ratios (~1 %) for all flights, rather than using high ratios (> 30 %) in a few flights which could meaningfully reduce soot emissions. Here, existing technologies for reducing such emissions through combustor and fuel design will be reviewed to identify strategies that eliminate them.

description: We use the emergent field of Complex Networks to analyze the network of scientific collaborations between entities (universities, research organizations, industry related companies,...) which collaborate in the context of the so-called Framework Programme. We demonstrate here that it is a scale--free network with an accelerated growth, which implies that the creation of new collaborations is encouraged. Moreover, these collaborations possess hierarchical modularity. Likewise, we find that the information flow depends on the size of the participants but not on geographical constraints.

description: Motivated by recent developments in Hamiltonian variational principles, Hamiltonian variational integrators, and their applications such as to optimization and control, we present a new Type II variational approach for Hamiltonian systems, based on a virtual work principle that enforces the Type II boundary conditions through a combination of essential and natural boundary conditions; particularly, this approach allows us to define this variational principle intrinsically on manifolds. We first develop this variational principle on vector spaces and subsequently extend it to parallelizable manifolds, general manifolds, as well as to the infinite-dimensional setting. Furthermore, we provide a review of variational principles for Hamiltonian systems in various settings as well as their applications.
