description: We present a study of galaxy mergers and the influence of environment in the Abell 901/902 supercluster at z~0.165. We use HST ACS F606W data from the STAGES survey, COMBO-17, Spitzer 24um, and XMM-Newton X-ray data. Our analysis utilizes both a visual classification system, and quantitative CAS parameters to identify systems which show evidence of a recent or ongoing merger of mass ratio >1/10. Our results are: (1) After visual classification and minimizing the contamination from false projection pairs, we find that the merger fraction f_merge is 0.023+/-0.007. The estimated fractions of likely major mergers, likely minor mergers, and ambiguous cases are 0.01+/-0.004, 0.006+/-0.003, and 0.007+/-0.003, respectively. (2) The mergers lie outside the cluster core of radius R < 0.25 Mpc: the lack of mergers in the core is likely due to the large galaxy velocity dispersion in the core. Mergers populate the region (0.25 Mpc < R <= 2 Mpc) between the core and outskirt. In this region, the estimated frequency of mergers is similar to those seen at typical group overdensities. This suggests ongoing growth of the clusters via accretion of group and field galaxies. (3) We compare our observed merger fraction with those reported in other clusters and groups out to z~0.4. Existing data points on the merger fraction for L<= L* galaxies in clusters allow for a range of evolutionary scenarios. (4) The fraction of mergers, which lie on the blue cloud is 80%+/-18% versus 34%+/-7% for non-interacting galaxies, implying that interacting galaxies are preferentially blue. (5) The average SFR, based on UV or UV+IR data, is enhanced by a factor of ~1.5 to 2 in mergers compared to non-interacting galaxies. However, mergers in the clusters contribute only a small fraction (between 10% and 15%) of the total SFR density.(Abridged)

INSTITUTIONAL FACTOR

description: This article is devoted to modern problems and features of ethno-gastronomic tourism development, mediated by the formation and development of socio-economic institutions of the tourism sector. Modern development trends in the tourism industry in the context of updating the "experience economy" and ensuring a strong position of the Russian Federation in the domestic and world tourism market, on the one hand, determine the priority direction of the formation of original types of tourism that have uniqueness and the ability to gain new knowledge. On the other hand, the formation of a new direction of tourism activities will create a platform for the development of individual regions and industries through the consolidation of state, public and private institutions for the functioning of ethno-gastronomic tourism. The author investigates the main institutional factors that have a direct impact on the formation of institutions of ethno-gastronomic tourism, and also highlights institutional contradictions that reflect the imperfection of the institutional environment for the functioning of ethno-gastronomic tourism, limiting the sustainable development of tourist territories on its basis. A retrospective analysis of the institutional environment for the formation and development of ethno-gastronomic tourism made it possible to formulate institutional problems and measures for improving the institutional structure of the formation and development of ethno-gastronomic tourism.

description: O conceito de tourist gaze (Urry, 1996) depressa evoluiu de um visualismo primário para uma experiência corporalizada multissensorial (Urry & Larsen, 2011). É uma experiência turística individual que poderá ser compreendida à luz da neurociência cognitiva (Damásio, 2013), mas é ao mesmo tempo um processo grupal (Carron & Brawley, 2012) em que o olhar de cada um condiciona e é condicionado pelo olhar dos outros elementos do grupo. Com este estudo confirma-se que o tourist gaze não assenta apenas na relação binária Foucaultiana do gaze clínico, mas numa prática relacional (Urry & Larsen, 2011) em que os collective gazers (Larsen, 2011) dos circuitos turísticos confluem para opiniões idênticas sobre o destino, mesmo com percepções iniciais totalmente díspares, num organizado team gazing.

description: The implementation of the tourism social function is strategic goal in the Russian tourism market development. The authors analyze the state of social tourism based on statistical government materials, as well as their own research using the example of the Russian Federation and Krasnoyarsk Krai. Health tourism currently is most developed in the Russian Federation, and due to the deteriorating health of the population, it becomes especially relevant and popular among supporters of a healthy lifestyle. The study presents the main indicators of health tourism in the Russian Federation and Krasnoyarsk Territory. The children's health camps of country, sanatorium and resort types, labor and recreation camps are the most popular form of organizing child summer recreation. The study presents the main indicators of organizations for child recreation and recovery in the Russian Federation and the Krasnoyarsk Krai.

description: We investigate finite-size effects on the chiral phase diagram of strong interactions within the linear sigma model coupled to quarks. We estimate the modification of the pseudocritical transition line and isentropic trajectories for sizes that are representative of the systems created in relativistic heavy ion collision experiments. The corrections are clearly non-negligible and might significantly affect signatures of the chiral critical endpoint based on estimates for an infinite system. We argue that a finite-size scaling analysis should be tested in the process of data analysis of the Beam Energy Scan program at RHIC and in future experiments at FAIR-GSI, through the use of full scaling plots and a chi-squared method as tools for searching the critical endpoint.

description: The moduli space NK of infinitesimal deformations of a nearly Kähler structure on a compact 6-dimensional manifold is described by a certain eigenspace of the Laplace operator acting on co-closed primitive (1,1) forms. Using the Hermitian Laplace operator and some representation theory, we compute the space NK on all 6-dimensional homogeneous nearly Kähler manifolds. It turns out that the nearly Kähler structure is rigid except for the flag manifold F(1,2)=SU_3/T^2, which carries an 8-dimensional moduli space of infinitesimal nearly Kähler deformations, modeled on the Lie algebra su_3 of the isometry group.

In addition, results from the ITS, LSU, rpb2 and tub2 nucleotide BLASTn search indicate our strain (KUNCC 23-13353) gives 99–100% similarity with Ch. cochliodes (LC 13552, LC 13504, LC13510, CBS 155.52). The phylogenetic results also match with Ch. cochliodes strains (Figure 5). Therefore, we introduce Ch. cochliodes (KUNCC 23-13353) as a new host record isolated from fresh leaves of Coriaria nepalensis.

description: White dwarf-neutron star binaries generate detectable gravitational radiation. We construct Newtonian equilibrium models of corotational white dwarf-neutron star (WDNS) binaries in circular orbit and find that these models terminate at the Roche limit. At this point the binary will undergo either stable mass transfer (SMT) and evolve on a secular time scale, or unstable mass transfer (UMT), which results in the tidal disruption of the WD. The path a given binary will follow depends primarily on its mass ratio. We analyze the fate of known WDNS binaries and use population synthesis results to estimate the number of LISA-resolved galactic binaries that will undergo either SMT or UMT. We model the quasistationary SMT epoch by solving a set of simple ordinary differential equations and compute the corresponding gravitational waveforms. Finally, we discuss in general terms the possible fate of binaries that undergo UMT and construct approximate Newtonian equilibrium configurations of merged WDNS remnants. We use these configurations to assess plausible outcomes of our future, fully relativistic simulations of these systems. If sufficient WD debris lands on the NS, the remnant may collapse, whereby the gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger, and collapse phases will sweep from LISA through LIGO frequency bands. If the debris forms a disk about the NS, it may fragment and form planets.

description: We calculate the density profiles of a trapped spin-imbalanced Fermi gas with attractive interactions in a one-dimensional optical lattice, using both the local density approximation (LDA) and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations. Based on the exact equation of state obtained by Bethe ansatz, LDA predicts that the gas phase-separates into shells with a partially polarized core and fully paired wings, where the latter occurs below a critical spin polarization. This behavior is also seen in numerically exact DMRG calculations at sufficiently large particle numbers. Unlike the continuum case, we show that the critical polarization is a non monotonic function of the interaction strength and vanishes in the limit of large interactions.

description: In this paper we first derive several results concerning the $L^p$ spectrum of arithmetic locally symmetric spaces whose $\Q$-rank equals one. In particular, we show that there is an open subset of $\C$ consisting of eigenvalues of the $L^p$ Laplacian if $p <2$ and that corresponding eigenfunctions are given by certain Eisenstein series. On the other hand, if $p>2$ there is at most a discrete set of real eigenvalues of the $L^p$ Laplacian. These results are used in the second part of this paper in order to show that the dynamics of the $L^p$ heat semigroups for $p<2$ is very different from the dynamics of the $L^p$ heat semigroups if $p\geq 2$.

description: We present a new analysis of stellar mass functions (MF) in the COSMOS field to fainter limits than has been previously probed to z~1. Neither the total nor the passive or star-forming MF can be well fit with a single Schechter function once one probes below 3e9 Msun. We observe a dip or plateau at masses ~1e10 Msun, and an upturn towards a steep faint-end slope of -1.7 at lower mass at any z<1. This bimodal nature of the MF is not solely a result of the blue/red dichotomy. The blue MF is by itself bimodal at z~1. This suggests a new dichotomy in galaxy formation that predates the appearance of the red sequence. We propose two interpretations for this bimodality. If the gas fraction increases towards lower mass, galaxies with M_baryon~1e10 Msun would shift to lower stellar masses, creating the observed dip. This would indicate a change in star formation efficiency, perhaps linked to supernovae feedback becoming much more efficient. Therefore, we investigate whether the dip is present in the baryonic (stars+gas) MF. Alternatively, the dip could be created by an enhancement of the galaxy assembly rate at ~1e11 Msun, a phenomenon that naturally arises if the baryon fraction peaks at M_halo ~1e12 Msun. In this scenario, galaxies occupying the bump around M* would be identified with central galaxies and the second fainter component having a steep faint-end slope with satellites. While the dip is apparent in the total MF at any z, it appears to shift from the blue to red population, likely as a result of transforming high-mass blue galaxies into red ones. At the same time, we detect a drastic upturn in the number of low-mass red galaxies. Their increase with time reflects a decrease in the number of blue systems and so we tentatively associate them with satellite dwarf galaxies that have undergone quenching.

description: A signal from decaying dark matter (DM) can be unambiguously distinguished from spectral features of astrophysical or instrumental origin by studying its spatial distribution. We demonstrate this approach by examining the recent claim of 0912.0552 regarding the possible DM origin of the 2.5 keV line in Chandra observations of the Milky Way satellite known as Willman 1. Our conservative strategy is to adopt a relatively large dark mass for Willman 1 and relatively small dark masses for the comparison objects. We analyze archival observations by XMM-Newton of M31 and Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) and Chandra observations of Sculptor dSph. By performing a conservative analysis of X-ray spectra, we show the absence of a DM decay line with parameters consistent with those of 0912.0552. For M31, the observations of the regions between 10 and 20 kpc from the center, where the uncertainties in the DM distribution are minimal, make a strong exclusion at the level above 10sigma. The minimal estimate for the amount of DM in the central 40 kpc of M31 is provided by the model of 0912.4133, assuming the stellar disk's mass to light ratio ~8 and almost constant DM density within a core of 28 kpc. Even in this case one gets an exclusion at 5.7sigma from central region of M31 whereas modeling all processed data from M31 and Fornax produces more than 14sigma exclusion. Therefore, despite possible systematic uncertainties, we exclude the possibility that the spectral feature at ~2.5 keV found in 0912.0552 is a DM decay line. We conclude, however, that the search for DM decay line, although demanding prolonged observations of well-studied dSphs, M31 outskirts and other similar objects, is rather promising, as the nature of a possible signal can be checked. An (expected) non-observation of a DM decay signal in the planned observations of Willman 1 should not discourage further dedicated observations.

description: The mean-field limit of a Markovian model describing the interaction of several classes of permanent connections in a network is analyzed. Each of the connections has a self-adaptive behavior in that its transmission rate along its route depends on the level of congestion of the nodes of the route. Since several classes of connections going through the nodes of the network are considered, an original mean-field result in a multi-class context is established. It is shown that, as the number of connections goes to infinity, the behavior of the different classes of connections can be represented by the solution of an unusual nonlinear stochastic differential equation depending not only on the sample paths of the process, but also on its distribution. Existence and uniqueness results for the solutions of these equations are derived. Properties of their invariant distributions are investigated and it is shown that, under some natural assumptions, they are determined by the solutions of a fixed-point equation in a finite-dimensional space.

Subjects: INF/01 Informatica

description: We investigate the benefits that emerge when the fields of constraint programming and concurrency meet. 
On one hand, constraints can be use in concurrency theory to increase the conciseness and the expressive power of concurrent languages from a pragmatic point of view. On the other hand, problems modeled by using constraints can be solved faster and more efficiently using a concurrent system.
We explore both directions providing two separate lines of contribution. Firstly we study the expressive power of a concurrent language, namely Constraint Handling Rules, that supports constraints as a primitive construct. We show what features of this language make it Turing powerful. Then we propose a framework to solve constraint problems that is intended to be deployed on a concurrent system. For the development of this framework we used the concurrent language Jolie following the Service Oriented paradigm. Based on this experience, we also propose an extension to Service Oriented Languages to overcome some of their limitations and to improve the development of concurrent applications.

description: We study the near-horizon geometry of extremal black holes in the $z=3$ Hořava-Lifshitz gravity with a flow parameter $λ$. For $λ>1/2$, near-horizon geometry of extremal black holes are AdS$_2 \times S^2$ with different radii, depending on the (modified) Hořava-Lifshitz gravity. For $1/3\le λ\le 1/2$, the radius $v_2$ of $S^2$ is negative, which means that the near-horizon geometry is ill-defined and the corresponding Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is zero. We show explicitly that the entropy function approach does not work for obtaining the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of extremal black holes.

Effective Inner Radius of Tilted Black Hole Accretion Disks

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: One of the primary means of determining the spin of an astrophysical black hole is by actually measuring the inner radius of a surrounding accretion disk and using that to infer the spin. By comparing a number of different estimates of the inner radius from simulations of tilted accretion disks with differing black-hole spins, we show that such a procedure can give quite wrong answers. Over the range 0 <= a/M <= 0.9, we find that, for moderately thick disks (H/r ~ 0.2) with modest tilt (15 degrees), the inner radius is nearly independent of spin. This result is likely dependent on tilt, such that for larger tilts, it may even be that the inner radius would increase with increasing spin. In the opposite limit, we confirm through numerical simulations of untilted disks that, in the limit of zero tilt, the inner radius recovers approximately the expected dependence on spin.

description: Voice recognition technology has been in existence over several decades but its application in the construction industry has been minimal. Despite the several advantages it offers, its application has been limited to smart building integration only. This study has made a significant contribution by integrating voice recognition technology into key-in building quantities estimation software. The Visual Basic programming language was used to design and code the interface of the voice recognition system and key-in estimating software model. The prototype model continues to have some challenges because it cannot work efficiently in a noisy work environment and there is limited range of vocabulary it can recognize. This paper seeks to challenge the stakeholders of the construction industry to maximize the benefits of voice recognition technology and integrate it into other construction tasks. In addition, future research can consider integrating building information modeling and voice recognition technology.
Gauged B-x_i L origin of R parity and its implications

description: Gauged B-L is a popular candidate for the origin of the conservation of R parity, i.e. R = (-)^{3B+L+2j}, in supersymmetry, but it fails to forbid the effective dimension-five terms arising from the superfield combinations QQQL, uude, and uddN, which allow the proton to decay. Changing it to B-x_i L, where x_e+x_μ+x_τ=3 (with x_i not equal to 1) for the three families, would forbid these terms while still serving as a gauge origin of R parity. We show how this is achieved in two minimal models with realistic neutrino mass matrices, and discuss their phenomenological implications.

description: This study aimed to profile voice-related complaints, as well as vocal and nonvocal habits among Hindustani classical singers. Cross-sectional study design was used to profile voice-related complaints and vocal and nonvocal habits among Hindustani classical singers. Phase I involved developing a questionnaire for exploring vocal and nonvocal habits. Phase II involved the administration of the survey to 61 Hindustani classical singers. Based on the overall findings, 41% of singers reported of at least three vocal symptoms. The most common vocal symptoms included out of breath while singing, felling tired after singing and experiencing tension or tightness in neck/shoulder. The commonly reported vocal habits included excessive phone use, loud coughing/sneezing, throat clearing and excessive speaking. A high consumption of caffeinated beverages and spicy food were also reported. This study helps to highlight the voice-related complaints and vocal and nonvocal habits of Hindustani classical singers. Further studies, need to explore the prevalence of voice problems incorporating other dimensions of voice evaluation such as acoustic, auditory perceptual, self-reported and laryngeal examination.

description: Protein aggregation and formation of insoluble aggregates in central nervous system is the main cause of neurodegenerative disease. Parkinson’s disease is associated with the appearance of spherical masses of aggregated proteins inside nerve cells called Lewy bodies. α-Synuclein is the main component of Lewy bodies. In addition to α-synuclein, there are more than a hundred of other proteins co-localized in Lewy bodies: 14-3-3η protein is one of them. In order to increase our understanding on the aggregation mechanism of α-synuclein and to study the effect of 14-3-3η on it, I addressed the following questions. (i) How α-synuclein monomers pack each other during aggregation? (ii) Which is the role of 14-3-3η on α-synuclein packing during its aggregation? (iii) Which is the role of 14-3-3η on an aggregation of α-synuclein “seeded” by fragments of its fibrils? 
In order to answer these questions, I used different biophysical techniques (e.g., Atomic force microscope (AFM), Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and Fluorescence spectroscopy (FS)).

description: We present a catalogue of 362 million stellar parameters, distances, and extinctions derived from Gaia's early third data release (EDR3) cross-matched with the photometric catalogues of Pan-STARRS1, SkyMapper, 2MASS, and AllWISE. The higher precision of the Gaia EDR3 data, combined with the broad wavelength coverage of the additional photometric surveys and the new stellar-density priors of the {\tt StarHorse} code allow us to substantially improve the accuracy and precision over previous photo-astrometric stellar-parameter estimates. At magnitude $G=14\, (17)$, our typical precisions amount to 3% (15%) in distance, 0.13 mag (0.15 mag) in $V$-band extinction, and 140 K (180 K) in effective temperature. Our results are validated by comparisons with open clusters, as well as with asteroseismic and spectroscopic measurements, indicating systematic errors smaller than the nominal uncertainties for the vast majority of objects. We also provide distance- and extinction-corrected colour-magnitude diagrams, extinction maps, and extensive stellar density maps that reveal detailed substructures in the Milky Way and beyond. The new density maps now probe a much greater volume, extending to regions beyond the Galactic bar and to Local Group galaxies, with a larger total number density. We publish our results through an ADQL query interface ({\tt gaia.aip.de}) as well as via tables containing approximations of the full posterior distributions. Our multi-wavelength approach and the deep magnitude limit make our results useful also beyond the next Gaia release, DR3.

description: The cosmic web is one of the most striking features of the distribution of galaxies and dark matter on the largest scales in the Universe. It is composed of dense regions packed full of galaxies, long filamentary bridges, flattened sheets and vast low density voids. The study of the cosmic web has focused primarily on the identification of such features, and on understanding the environmental effects on galaxy formation and halo assembly. As such, a variety of different methods have been devised to classify the cosmic web -- depending on the data at hand, be it numerical simulations, large sky surveys or other. In this paper we bring twelve of these methods together and apply them to the same data set in order to understand how they compare. In general these cosmic web classifiers have been designed with different cosmological goals in mind, and to study different questions. Therefore one would not {\it a priori} expect agreement between different techniques however, many of these methods do converge on the identification of specific features. In this paper we study the agreements and disparities of the different methods. For example, each method finds that knots inhabit higher density regions than filaments, etc. and that voids have the lowest densities. For a given web environment, we find substantial overlap in the density range assigned by each web classification scheme. We also compare classifications on a halo-by-halo basis; for example, we find that 9 of 12 methods classify around a third of group-mass haloes (i.e. $M_{\rm halo}\sim10^{13.5}h^{-1}M_{\odot}$) as being in filaments. Lastly, so that any future cosmic web classification scheme can be compared to the 12 methods used here, we have made all the data used in this paper public.

description: In ogni capitolo, l’atto del ricordare viene indagato nelle diverse valenze che lo mettono in rapporto diretto con la nostalgia e l’oblio.
L’analisi dei testi letterari copre un arco di tempo di quasi un secolo, partendo dalle innovazioni tecnico-stilistiche realizzate da Katherine Mansfield fino all’eccezionale ricchezza e al meritato successo di pubblico e critica della scrittrice canadese Alice Munro.
La bibliografia dei testi primari e secondari è strutturata con criteri tematici e cronologici.
description: This thesis matches theoretical issues about short story writing and memory studies. After the introductory part, it is organized in three different chapters.
In the first chapter, I survey critical perspectives on the history and the evolution of short story writing, supporting my analysis with some examples from Katherine Mansfield’s stories, as a “modernist” keystone of the genre, who marks the passage from nineteenth-century tales to contemporary short stories. Then, I sketch a second step in the evolution of the short story by women writers, according to the examples of Flannery O’Connor. Finally, I link issues in the Afro-American stories by Alice Walker to some trends in postcolonial short story writing by women.
In the following two chapters, I analyse the best stories by Anita Desai and Alice Munro, according to their views on recollecting, forgetting and nostalgia.
My conclusions summarize thematic and theoretical perspectives and links them to the technical evolution of the genre.
The bibliography of primary and secondary sources is organized on the basis of the different areas of studies I have dealt with.

In defense of tourist photography
Creators: name: Haller, Stephen F.
Publisher: name: Journal of Tourism & Development
Year: 2014

description: The casualness with which tourists take photographs, coupled with this sense that it is somehow a violation of privacy, creates interesting ethical dilemmas. In general, people feel that photography is often wrong, or unethical, or rude, but they cannot articulate exactly why, and if they try, they start to realize the contradictions in their outlook. In deciding whether photography can wrong someone, one can divide criticisms against photography into two general categories. First, there are issues that arise from the way the camera, and/or photograph is used; and second, there are issues that arise from the medium itself, regardless of its use. The first category of criticisms, then, leads to advice about how best to go about taking pictures as a tourist. The second category implies that there may be features inherent in photography that cannot be avoided, and which therefore might necessitate that an ethical tourist gives up taking pictures altogether. We reject this conclusion and argue that if tourist photographers are considered to be amateur journalists and artists, then they might be similarly exempt from many of these concerns.

description: We study the derivational complexity induced by the dependency pair method, enhanced with standard refinements. We obtain upper bounds on the derivational complexity induced by the dependency pair method in terms of the derivational complexity of the base techniques employed. In particular we show that the derivational complexity induced by the dependency pair method based on some direct technique, possibly refined by argument filtering, the usable rules criterion, or dependency graphs, is primitive recursive in the derivational complexity induced by the direct method. This implies that the derivational complexity induced by a standard application of the dependency pair method based on traditional termination orders like KBO, LPO, and MPO is exactly the same as if those orders were applied as the only termination technique.

description: Combining the precise parallaxes and optical photometry delivered by Gaia's second data release (Gaia DR2) with the photometric catalogues of PanSTARRS-1, 2MASS, and AllWISE, we derive Bayesian stellar parameters, distances, and extinctions for 265 million stars brighter than G=18. Because of the wide wavelength range used, our results substantially improve the accuracy and precision of previous extinction and effective temperature estimates. After cleaning our results for both unreliable input and output data, we retain 137 million stars, for which we achieve a median precision of 5% in distance, 0.20 mag in V-band extinction, and 245 K in effective temperature for G<14, degrading towards fainter magnitudes (12%, 0.20 mag, and 245 K at G=16; 16%, 0.23 mag, and 260 K at G=17, respectively). We find a very good agreement with the asteroseismic surface gravities and distances of 7000 stars in the Kepler, the K2-C3, and the K2-C6 fields, with stellar parameters from the APOGEE survey, as well as with distances to star clusters. Our results are available through the ADQL query interface of the Gaia mirror at the Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam (gaia.aip.de) and as binary tables at data.aip.de. As a first application, in this paper we provide distance- and extinction-corrected colour-magnitude diagrams, extinction maps as a function of distance, and extensive density maps, demonstrating the potential of our value-added dataset for mapping the three-dimensional structure of our Galaxy. In particular, we see a clear manifestation of the Galactic bar in the stellar density distributions, an observation that can almost be considered a direct imaging of the Galactic bar.

description: For the purposes of carrying out field experiments using the vertical-type cleaner with its elastic cleaning blades to remove haulm residues from the crowns of standing roots, the programme for this process and the technique behind it have both been developed by basing the process on the measurement of the volume of haulm residues that are left on the root crowns after they have been cleaned by a cleaning tool that operates at pre-set values in terms of its translational velocity, its height above the soil surface, and its rate of revolution. In addition, the cleaner’s energy-and-force performance has also been determined. In this process, the new laboratory and the field experimental unit have been put together. The unit comprises a rear-mounted root crown cleaner of the rotary type with a vertical axis of rotation. During the field experiments, the general-purpose tractor which carries it moves at a pre-set velocity as registered by the track measuring wheel; the general height of the cleaning tool’s position is set within the specified range by the use of two pneumatic feeler wheels that are equipped with adjustment mechanisms. The results of the completed investigations have been statistically processed with the use of the regression analysis and correlation analysis methods. On the basis of the developed multiple-factor experiment technique, empirical mathematical models have been generated in the form of regression equations for the process of cleaning the crown’s of sugar beet roots. In accordance with the results of the calculations, it has been established that the translational velocity of the implement has the greatest level of impact on the volume of haulm residue that remains on the spherical surfaces of root crowns after cleaning. The rate of rotation for the vertical cleaning rotor and its height above the soil surface which are controlled by the two pneumatic feeler wheels have a lesser effect on the process under consideration.

description: We present a study of $B\to X(3872)K$ with X(3872) decaying to $D^{*0}\bar D^0$ using a sample of 657 million $B\bar B$ pairs recorded at the $Υ(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. Both $D^{*0}\to D^0γ$ and $D^{*0}\to D^0π^0$ decay modes are used. We find a peak of $50.1^{+14.8}_{-11.1}$ events with a mass of $(3872.9^{+0.6 +0.4}_{-0.4 -0.5}){\rm MeV}/c^2$, a width of $(3.9^{+2.8 +0.2}_{-1.4 -1.1}){\rm MeV}/c^2$ and a product branching fraction ${\cal B}(B\to X(3872)K)\times{\cal B}(X(3872)\to D^{*0}\bar D^0)=(0.80\pm0.20\pm0.10)\times10^{-4}$, where the first errors are statistical and the second ones are systematic. The significance of the signal is $6.4σ$. The difference between the fitted mass and the $D^{*0}\bar D^0$ threshold is calculated to be $(1.1^{+0.6 +0.1}_{-0.4 -0.3}){\rm MeV}/c^2$. We also obtain an upper limit on the product of branching fractions ${\cal B}(B\to Y(3940)K)\times{\cal B}(Y(3940)\to D^{*0}\bar D^0)$ of $0.67\times10^{-4}$ at 90% CL.
