Gehyra barea

description: Gehyra cf. barea Kopstein, 1926
 Type locality. Teun and Serua Islands, Maluku.
 Distribution in the Kei Islands. All islands. We collected several specimens of this species from Kei Kecil, Tam, and Kur, and Roux (1910) collected it on Kei Besar.
 Natural history. This species is found commonly on limestone rocks at night and also can be found on humanmade structures and human-impacted garden areas (known as “kebun” in Bahasa Indonesia).
 Field identification. All species of Gehyra lack a claw on their innermost digit. Gehyra cf. barea is the largest of two species of Gehyra (SVL to 100 mm) in the Kei Islands and possesses grey skin that sits very loosely on the body and can easily slough off when handled. Ventral side and tail on Kei individuals are often cream or yellow in colour. Large fold of skin present along the sides of the throat, body and hindlimbs. Digits half webbed, innermost digit clawless.
 Remarks. Here, we place previous records for Gehyra oceanica (Lesson, 1830) and G. marginata Boulenger, 1887 together as Gehyra cf. barea, though it is possible that both are present in the Kei Islands. The species we collected is clearly part of the larger G. barea – G. baliola complex due to the presence of a notched rostral, widely separated nasals and partially-divided scansors (Oliver et al., 2010).

description: Conductance-voltage characteristics of epitaxial interfaces between oxide ferromagnets and oxide superconductors have been measured as a function of temperature and magnetic field. Their functional form is similar to that predicted by theories of transport across nearly transparent contacts between highly spin-polarized ferromagnets and d-wave superconductors. However, their magnetic field dependencies scale in striking and unusual ways, challenging our current understanding. Existing theories fail to account for apparent nonequilibium effects that are natural for spin injection in such geometries.

description: Shrimp production in Thailand has historically been undertaken in the saline and brackish waters of coastal mangroves. In recent years rising demand and prices for shrimp and falling productivity of mangrove areas have motivated an expansion of shrimp production into the fresh-water margins of river estuaries that were previously used for rice cultivation. Generalised additive models, which offer a comprehensive approach to regression analysis, are mainly used for empirical analysis, and model development and specification for rice and shrimp production in this study. This paper presents a brief introduction to generalised additive models, discusses how they are applied to develop cost functions to satisfy the restriction of production theory, and describes a comparative economic analysis of shrimp and rice production. A final result was found that rice production is characterised by constant returns to scale, and shrimp production by increasing returns to scale. On this basis it was concluded that shrimp production will continue to expand in the fresh-water areas, displacing rice production and exacerbating environmental problems.

description: Superconductivity in group IV semiconductors is desired for hybrid devices combining both semiconducting and superconducting properties. Following boron doped diamond and Si, superconductivity has been observed in gallium doped Ge, however the obtained specimen is in polycrystalline form [Herrmannsdörfer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 217003 (2009)]. Here, we present superconducting single-crystalline Ge hyperdoped with gallium or aluminium by ion implantation and rear-side flash lamp annealing. The maximum concentration of Al and Ga incorporated into substitutional positions in Ge is eight times higher than the equilibrium solid solubility. This corresponds to a hole concentration above 10^21 cm-3. Using density functional theory in the local density approximation and pseudopotential plane-wave approach, we show that the superconductivity in p-type Ge is phonon-mediated. According to the ab initio calculations the critical superconducting temperature for Al- and Ga-doped Ge is in the range of 0.45 K for 6.25 at.% of dopant concentration being in a qualitative agreement with experimentally obtained values.

description: Multiple studies have shown that gender balance in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths -- and in particular in ICT -- is still far to be achieved. Several initiatives have been recently taken to increase the women participation, but it is difficult, at present, to evaluate their impact and their potential of changing the situation. This paper contributes to the discussion by presenting a descriptive analysis of the gender balance in Computer Science and Computer Engineering in Italian Universities.
Gravothermal Catastrophe and Tsallis' Generalized Entropy of Self-Gravitating Systems II. Thermodynamic Properties of Stellar Polytrope

description: We investigate the thermodynamic properties of stellar self-gravitating system arising from the Tsallis generalized entropy. In particular, physical interpretation of the thermodynamic instability, as has been revealed by previous paper(Taruya & Sakagami, cond-mat/0107494, Physica A 307, 185 (2002)), is discussed in detail based on the non-extensive thermostatistics. Examining the Clausius relation in a quasi-static experiment, we obtain the standard result of thermodynamic relation that the physical temperature of the equilibrium non-extensive system is identified with the inverse of the Lagrange multiplier, $T_{phys}=1/β$. Using this relation, the specific heat of total system is computed, and confirm the common feature of self-gravitating system that the presence of negative specific heat leads to the thermodynamic instability. In addition to the gravothermal instability discovered previously, the specific heat shows the curious divergent behavior at the polytrope index $n>3$, suggesting another type of thermodynamic instability. Evaluating the second variation of free energy, we find that the marginal stability condition indicated from the specific heat can be exactly recovered from the second variation of free energy. Thus, the stellar polytropic system is consistently characterized by the non-extensive thermostatistics as a plausible thermal equilibrium state. We also clarify the non-trivial scaling behavior appeared in specific heat and address the origin of non-extensive nature in stellar polytrope.

description: Highly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with spanwise-varying roughness is investigated experimentally and numerically (direct numerical simulations (DNS) with an immersed boundary method (IBM)) to determine the effects of the spacing and axial width $s$ of the spanwise varying roughness on the total drag and {on} the flow structures. We apply sandgrain roughness, in the form of alternating {rough and smooth} bands to the inner cylinder. Numerically, the Taylor number is $\mathcal{O}(10^9)$ and the roughness width is varied between $0.47\leq \tilde{s}=s/d \leq 1.23$, where $d$ is the gap width. Experimentally, we explore $\text{Ta}=\mathcal{O}(10^{12})$ and $0.61\leq \tilde s \leq 3.74$. For both approaches the radius ratio is fixed at $η=r_i/r_o = 0.716$, with $r_i$ and $r_o$ the radius of the inner and outer cylinder respectively. We present how the global transport properties and the local flow structures depend on the boundary conditions set by the roughness spacing $\tilde{s}$. Both numerically and experimentally, we find a maximum in the angular momentum transport as function of $\tilde s$. This can be atributed to the re-arrangement of the large-scale structures triggered by the presence of the rough stripes, leading to correspondingly large-scale turbulent vortices.

description: Gehyra mutilata (Wiegmann, 1834)
(Fig. 11)
 Type locality. Manila, Philippines.
 Distribution in the Kei Islands. We collected Gehyra mutilata on Kei Kecil and Tam, and the AM expedition collected this species on Kei Besar. No specimens were found on Kur, however it may be present on these islands as well, since G. mutilata is known to be a human commensal.
 Natural history. A widespread human commensal, found in and around wooden homes as well as in forest, particularly in association with limestone rock formations near water.
 Fig. 11. Photo in life of Gehyra mutilata from Kei Kecil (ALS 387)
 Field identification. Superficially similar to Gehyra cf. barea, but distinguished by smaller maximum body size and divided subdigital lamellae. Pale grey to dark brown dorsum with dark brown flecks and pale spots. Tail depressed with a lateral fringe on each side. Third and fourth toes with some basal webbing, less webbed than G. cf. barea. Pads of fingers and toes widely dilated with divided scansors. Innermost digit clawless. Skin folds less pronounced compared to G. cf. barea, sometimes with a narrow fold along the body and usually along the posterior of the hindlimb. SVL to 55 mm (Cogger, 2014, p. 362).

description: DNA methylation level of the ADARB2 mark is higher in the Alzheimer’s disease cases with a history of smoking. Smoking history was included in the linear mixed effects model as a fixed effect, and interaction term, to determine whether this adjustment attenuates association of the ADARB2 DNA methylation mark with Alzheimer’s disease. The analysis was carried out by including all the 60 twin pairs with smoking data available. According to the results the disease association remained significant also when smoking was included in the model (estimate 64.51%, SE 9.23, Wald t value 6.99, not adjusted for APOE genotype). Smoking did interact with the disease status (estimate 8.10%, SE 1.43, Wald t value 5.68) and the median methylation level was increased in the cases with a smoking history in comparison to non-smoking cases and controls as well as controls with a smoking history. The association remained significant also when APOE genotype was included in the model (estimate 35.41%, SE 9.41 and Wald t value 3.76). A) DNA methylation levels for the ADARB2 mark in non-smokers and past or current smokers are shown separately for females with APOE ε33 genotype who differ from the other groups and show no disease association.

description: In recent years, output on genetic diversity in the economic literature has included conceptual pieces on the definition and measurement of crop genetic diversity, methodologies for estimating its value, and efforts to analyze its contribution to productivity and stability. However, because biological diversity refers in general to a broad area of scientific inquiry, the growing quantity of literature has also generated some confusion over the definition, measurement, and interpretation of genetic diversity in the context of economic analysis. This paper addresses some of the measurement issues encountered in incorporating genetic diversity into economic analysis by presenting a synthesis of several of the relevant concepts and tools. Using data collected in Australia and China, we compare the results from the application of some of the diversity concepts and discuss the implications of using them into future economic analysis.

description: An unusual field dependent slow magnetic relaxation and two distinct transitions were observed in a family of new rare earth-transition metal complexes, [Ln (bipy) (H$_{2}$O)$_{4}$ M(CN)$_{6}$] $\cdot $1.5 (bipy) $ \cdot $ 4H$_{2}$O (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine; Ln = Gd$^{3+}$,Y$^{3+}$; M = Fe$ ^{3+}$, Co$^{3+}$). The novel magnetic relaxation, which is quite different from those in normal spin glasses and superparamagnets but very resembles qualitatively those in single-molecule magnet Mn$_{12}$-Ac even if they possess different structures, might be attributed to the presence of frustration that is incrementally unveiled by the external magnetic field. The two distinct transitions in [GdFe] were presumed from DC and AC susceptibility as well as heat capacity measurements.

description: Hemidactylus frenatus Schlegel, 1836
 Type locality. Java, Indonesia.
 Distribution in the Kei Islands. We collected this species on Kei Kecil and Tam, and the WAM expedition collected it on Kei Besar. We observed this species on Kur, though we did not collect specimens.
 Natural history. Hemidactylus frenatus, a common human commensal, has probably been dispersed by humans to most inhabited islands in Indonesia. It commonly emerges in and around houses at night to feed on small insects attracted to the lighting. They were occasionally found in natural habitat on Kur.
 Field identification. A common house gecko most easily identified by possessing unwebbed digits with 7–10 scansors and body and tail lacking distinct lateral fringes compared to Hemidactylus platyurus. Claws are present on all digits. Pale to dark grey or brown above, sometimes with dark flecks. Whitish below. Tail moderately long, depressed with spines.

description: The energy gap between the ground state and the first excited state of the one-dimensional attractive Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian is investigated in connection with directed polymers in random media. The excitation gap Δis obtained by exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in the two- and three-particle sectors and also by an exact Bethe Ansatz solution in the two-particle sector. The dynamic exponent z is found to be 2. However, in the intermediate range of the size L where UL~O(1), U being the attractive interaction, the effective dynamic exponent shows an anomalous peak reaching high values of 2.4 and 2.7 for the two- and the three-particle sectors, respectively. The anomalous behavior is related to a change in the sign of the first excited-state energy. In the two-particle sector, we use the Bethe Ansatz solution to obtain the effective dynamic exponent as a function of the scaling variable UL/π. The continuum version, the attractive delta-function Bose-gas Hamiltonian, is integrable by the Bethe Ansatz with suitable quantum numbers, the distributions of which are not known in general. Quantum numbers are proposed for the first excited state and are confirmed numerically for an arbitrary number of particles.

description: Arrow (1965) stated that making markets for trading risk more complete can be socially beneficial. Within this perspective, we discuss the feasibility of farm revenue insurance for Australian agriculture. The feasibility is first discussed from an insurer's point of view. Well-known problems of moral hazard, adverse selection and systemic risk are central. Then, the feasibility is studied from a farmer’s point of view. A simulation model illustrates that gross revenue insurance can be both cheaper and more effective than separate price and yield insurance schemes. We argue that due to the systemic nature of price and yields risks within years and the positive correlation between years, some publicprivate partnership for reinsurance may be necessary for insurers to enter the gross revenue insurance market. Pros and cons of alternative forms of a public-private partnership are discussed. Once insurers can deal with the systemic risk problem, we conclude that there are opportunities for crop gross revenue insurance schemes, especially if based on area yields and on observed spot market prices. For insurance schemes to cover individual farmer’s yields and prices, we regard the concept of coinsurance as crucial. With respect to livestock commodities, we argue that yields are difficult to include in an insurance scheme and we propose aspects of further research in the field of price and rainfall insurance.

description: The interplay of nematic order and phase separation in solutions of semiflexible polymers in solvents of variable quality is investigated by density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We studied coarse-grained models, with a bond-angle potential to control chain stiffness, for chain lengths comparable to the persistence length of the chains. We varied both the density of the monomeric units and the effective temperature that controls the quality of the implicit solvent. For very stiff chains only a single transition from an isotropic fluid to a nematic is found, with a phase diagram of "swan-neck" topology. For less stiff chains, however, also unmixing between isotropic fluids of different concentration, ending in a critical point, occurs for temperatures above a triple point. The associated critical behavior is examined in the MD simulations and found compatible with Ising universality. Apart from this critical behavior, DFT calculations agree qualitatively with the MD simulations.

description: The objectives of the paper are twofold: to review valuation methods for plant genetic resources and to develop methods to estimate the past and potential future benefits, both domestic and international, of existing germplasm collections in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The analysis concentrates on PNG’s more important plant subsistence food crops: banana, sweet potato, and taro together with aibika. The paper documents the movement of germplasm in the food crops both within PNG and to international collections. Curators of and breeders using PNG germplasm material are surveyed concerning the future usefulness of this material, and their responses are reported and evaluated. Benefits are valued in terms of the value of future breeding in these species.

description: The research in this paper considers the question of the possible sources of total factor productivity (TFP) change in the Victorian dairy sector between 2007–08 and 2010–11. The analysis explores the components of TFP growth for a sample of dairy enterprises in Victoria using farm monitor data collected by the Department of Primary Industries Victoria (DPI). Specifically, the research considers the contributions of technological progress and technical efficiency changes to TFP growth using the Malmquist index based on a decomposition of TFP change. The productivity estimates are compared to financial measures of farm performance and to qualitative farm performance assessments made by DPI field staff.
The Political Ecology of Environmental Priorities in Australia

description: Conservation conflicts constitute the public face of resource-management and priority setting. Analyses for conservation priority setting, often restricted to scientific merit, are incomplete without the examination of the political and economic motivations of the protagonists. In a quick overview of selected conservation issues in Australia, the drive to conserve forests is used as the basis of comparison. It is argued that the correspondence of scientific and economic significance on the one hand, and popular sentiment and activism on the other hand, varied widely across the main conservation issues examined.

Improved energy production of multi-rotor wind farms

description: The multi-rotor (MR) wind turbine concept can be used to upscale wind turbines without increasing the rotor diameter, which can be beneficial for transport, manufacture and design of wind turbines blades. The rotor interaction of a MR wind turbine leads to a faster wake recovery compared to an equivalent single-rotor (SR) wind turbine wake. In this article, the benefit of the faster wake recovery of MR wind turbines is quantified using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations of a 4x4 rectangular MR wind farm, for three different inter wind turbine spacings. The simulations predict an increase of 0.3-1.7% in annual energy production for the MR wind farm with respect to an equivalent SR wind farm, where the highest gain is obtained for the tightest inter wind turbine spacing. The gain in AEP is mainly caused by the aligned wind directions for the first downstream wind turbine in a wind turbine row of the MR wind farm, which is verified by an additional large-eddy simulation.

description: Opticcal conductivity spectra $σ_1(ω)$ of Nd2-xCexCuO4 thin films, measured by the reflectance-transmittance method (R-T method) which has been proposed to investigate far-infrared spectroscopy, are investigated based on the anisotropic pairing model. Precise measurements of the frequency-dependent conductivity enable us to examine quantitatively the nature of the superconducting gap through infrared properties in the electron-doped high-Tc superconductors. We show that the behavior of optical conductivity $σ_1$ is consistent with the anisotropic superconducting gap and is well explained by the formula for d-wave pairing in the low-energy regime of the far-infrared region. Our results suggest that the electron-doped cuprate superconductors Nd2-xCexCuO4 have nodes in the superconducting gap.

description: Recently the funds allocated to combat the increase in dryland salinity have been increased substantially. A small proportion of these funds will be used to undertake economic analyses. As part of the NSW salinity strategy economic studies will be undertaken to determine the viability of management options. The complexity of the problem demands a sophisticated approach to quantifying the benefits of management. During the past 15 years a range of economic modelling studies have been completed in different areas of the state, and extensive effort has been undertaken to collect physical data to characterise the problem and the options for salinity management. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nature of the salinity problem, the issues that have been studied, and the methods applied by reviewed to explore the economic significance of the problem and gaps in current knowledge. This information may assist in determining future priorities for economic analysis type of methods that could be employed.

description: The introduction of genetically modified canola into Australian agriculture is associated with a number of problems. Various concerns are expressed by different groups of stakeholders which include researchers, the agricultural and the biotechnology industry and consumers. The concerns are about gene flow, the development of herbicide resistance in weeds and other adverse environmental and health effects. This study aims to investigate the causes of those concerns and to address possible and relevant solutions. A qualitative survey of Western Australian grain growers involving unstructured face-to-face discussions was conducted. Preliminary results confirmed that there is substantial lack of communication and co-operation among the major groups of stakeholders in the GM crop commercialisation process. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance such communication and co-operation. This will enable to resolve and, if possible, eliminate the concerns.

description: Radio minihalos are diffuse synchrotron sources of unknown origin found in the cool cores of some galaxy clusters. We use GMRT and VLA data to expand the sample of minihalos by reporting three new minihalo detections (A 2667, A 907 and PSZ1 G139.61+24.20) and confirming minihalos in five clusters (MACS J0159.8-0849, MACS J0329.6-0211, RXC J2129.6+0005, AS 780 and A 3444). With these new detections and confirmations, the sample now stands at 23, the largest sample to date. For consistency, we also reanalyze archival VLA 1.4 GHz observations of 7 known minihalos. We revisit possible correlations between the non-thermal emission and the thermal properties of their cluster hosts. Consistently with our earlier findings from a smaller sample, we find no strong relation between the minihalo radio luminosity and the total cluster mass. Instead, we find a strong positive correlation between the minihalo radio power and X-ray bolometric luminosity of the cool core (r<70 kpc). This supplements our earlier result that most if not all cool cores in massive clusters contain a minihalo. Comparison of radio and Chandra X-ray images indicates that the minihalo emission is typically confined by concentric sloshing cold fronts in the cores of most of our clusters, supporting the hypothesis that minihalos arise from electron reacceleration by turbulence caused by core gas sloshing. Taken together, our findings suggest that the origin of minihalos should be closely related to the properties of thermal plasma in cluster cool cores.
