description: The BTC40 Survey for high-redshift quasars is a multicolor search using images obtained with the Big Throughput Camera (BTC) on the CTIO 4-m telescope in V, I, and z filters to search for quasars at redshifts of 4.8 < z < 6. The survey covers 40 sq. deg. in B, V, & I and 36 sq. deg. in z. Limiting magnitudes (3 sigma) reach to V = 24.6, I = 22.9 and z = 22.9. We used the (V-I) vs. (I-z) two-color diagram to select high-redshift quasar candidates from the objects classified as point sources in the imaging data. Follow-up spectroscopy with the AAT and CTIO 4-m telescopes of candidates having I < 21.5 has yielded two quasars with redshifts of z = 4.6 and z = 4.8 as well as four emission line galaxies with z = 0.6. Fainter candidates have been identified down to I = 22 for future spectroscopy on 8-m class telescopes.

description: In two space dimensions, the percolation point of the pure-site clusters of the Ising model coincides with the critical point T_c of the thermal transition and the percolation exponents belong to a special universality class. By introducing a bond probability p_B<1, the corresponding site-bond clusters keep on percolating at T_c and the exponents do not change, until p_B=p_CK=1-exp(-2J/kT): for this special expression of the bond weight the critical percolation exponents switch to the 2D Ising universality class. We show here that the result is valid for a wide class of bidimensional models with a continuous magnetization transition: there is a critical bond probability p_c such that, for any p_B>=p_c, the onset of percolation of the site-bond clusters coincides with the critical point of the thermal transition. The percolation exponents are the same for p_c

The species is described from specimens collected by the famous collector Eugene Rückbeil (Novomodnyi & Shergalin 2019) in western China in Kashgaria (“ von Rückbeil im Kaschgar-Gebiet gefangen”) (Staudinger 1892). All reliable indications of the presence of this species refer to the southern part of Xinjiang Province in western China (“ Kaschgar ”, “ Aksu ”, “ Xinjiang, Weili County ” (Staudinger 1892, Zhdanko 2000; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/nuccore/OQ311404, accessed on 23 August 2024; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/ ON437016, accessed on 23 August 2024) that is, to the territory known in historical geographical literature as Kashgaria.
There are indications of the presence of this species in the Ili River valley in southeastern Kazakhstan (Korb 2013; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/OQ311406, accessed on 23 August 2024) and northern Mongolia (Yakovlev & Doroshkin 2004). A subspecies P. triphysina lama Yakovlev & Doroshkin, 2004 has even been described from northern Mongolia. We do not exclude that the indications for Kazakhstan and Mongolia are based on mislabeled and partly (Korb 2013) on misidentified specimens. At present, the butterfly faunas of Kazakhstan and Mongolia are relatively well studied (Tshikolovets et al. 2009, 2016); however, this species has not yet been found in these countries by other researchers.

description: Soil salinization is an important research topic in North Dakota, and the issue may be growing in importance due to changing cropping patterns throughout the Northern Great Plains. Soil salinity is generally determined by measuring the electrical conductivity (EC) of soils. This study is based on EC measures recorded throughout 40 fields by a Veris® sensor, and were subsequently mapped. Simulated yields (based on EC), production costs, and expected profits were used to determine which of eight crop rotations maximize expected profit based on a given field’s average EC, as well as the variance of EC within the field. Principal components analysis was used to develop a single measure of EC that incorporates information about both the mean and variance of EC throughout a field. Results illustrate that for very low field-level EC (low salinity) the two most profitable rotations are corn-soy and continuous corn, while for field-level EC above 4.5 the most profitable rotation is wheat-barley. Preliminary results are also presented to indicate how precision agriculture technologies (mapping, row controlled planters, and swath controlled sprayers) could increase profit for each rotation by eliminating input expenditures in portions of a field where a loss is expected.
The local information of equivariant sheaves and elliptic difference equations

description: We study the singularities of algebraic difference equations on curves from the point of view of equivariant sheaves. We propose a definition for the formal local type of an equivariant sheaf at a point in the case of a reduced curve acted on by a group which is virtually the integers. We show that with this definition, equivariant sheaves can be glued from an "open cover". Precisely, we show that an equivariant sheaf can be uniquely recovered from the following data: the restriction to the complement of a point, the local type at the point itself, and an isomorphism between the two over the punctured neighborhood of said point. We study symmetric elliptic difference equations ("elliptic equations" from now on) from this point of view. We consider several natural notions for an algebraic version of symmetric elliptic difference equations, i.e. symmetric elliptic difference modules ("elliptic modules"). We show that different versions are not equivalent, but we detail how they are related: all the versions embed fully faithfully into the same category of equivariant sheaves. This implies that we can use the theory for equivariant sheaves to study singularities of elliptic equations as well. One reason to study elliptic equations is that they generalize, and degenerate to, (q-)difference equations (i.e. equivariant sheaves) and differential equations (i.e. D-modules) on the projective line. We discuss this from the elliptic module point of view, which requires studying elliptic modules on singular curves. We study the relation between elliptic modules on singular curves and their normalization. We show that for modules which are flat at the singular points there is an equivalence and we give examples showing that this cannot be improved upon.

description: The problem of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia is currently very relevant due to its high prevalence (the frequency of its individual manifestations ranges from 26 to 80% according to different authors) [2, 3, 6], as well as the clinical polymorphism of this pathology. This sample was divided into 2 groups: Group 1 – 100 patients aged 15 to 30 years with such manifestations of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia, such as myopia, mitral valve prolapses, varicose veins of the lower extremities, group 2 – 50 patients aged 15 to 30 years without signs of this defect. According to the results obtained, the predominant sign of connective tissue defect in group 1 of this sample is myopia of varying degrees – 58%, while the frequency of varicose veins of the lower extremities and mitral valve prolapse is 30% and 12%, respectively. Among myopic visual impairments, mild (58%), moderate (26%) and high (16%) were predominant. Thus, based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the course of pregnancy and childbirth in patients with undifferentiated forms of connective tissue dysplasia in the form of varying degrees of myopia, varicose veins of the lower extremities and mitral valve prolapse is accompanied by a high incidence of obstetric and perinatal complications.

description: Anastomotic leak in colorectal surgery is a significant complication which is feared by surgeons and has considerable consequences for patients. It affects up to 17% of rectal resections and although there is significant knowledge regarding its detection and treatment, there are still no reliable methods for its prevention. We proposed the routine use of intra-operative endoscopy as a method of reducing the risk of anastomotic leak. This thesis explores current knowledge regarding anastomotic leaks, including the causes, prevention and management. We also present the findings from a feasibility trial into intra-operative endoscopy as a method for reducing anastomotic leak rate. We found that the prevention of anastomotic leak is multi-faceted. Current methods cannot prevent it entirely but intra-operative endoscopy is a safe and potentially beneficial method of identifying leaks and preventing complications but further large-scale trials are required. If it cannot be prevented, early diagnosis and treatment is important to reduce further complications.

description: Using coherent-potential to describe disorder, Gaspari-Gyorffy approach to evaluate electron-phonon coupling, and Allen-Dynes equation to calculate T_c, we show that in Mg_{1-x}M_{x}B_{2} (M = Al,Li or Zn) alloys (i) the way T_c changes depends on the location of the added/modified k-resolved states on the Fermi surface and (ii) the variation of T_c as a function of concentration is dictated by the B p DOS. In addition, using full-potential calculations for MgMB_4, we show that (i) at x=0.5 a superstructure can form in Mg_{1-x}Al_{x}B_2 but not in Mg_{1-x}Li_{x}B_2 or Mg_{1-x}Zn_{x}B_2, and (ii) B layer shifts towards the impurity layer, more for Al than for Li or Zn.

description: We present first experimental data on the high energy behavior of helium atoms quantum reflecting from the nanoscopically disordered surface of a quartz crystal. The use of the light, stable and inert He atom not only opens the unique possibility of measuring quantum reflectivity in the thusfar inaccessible limit of high energies, but also allows the determination of the gas-solid interaction potential. The specularly reflected intensity from the rough surface shows a change of 5 orders of magnitude within an incident angular range of less than 6 degrees. By separating out the influence of surface disorder the quantum reflection coefficient for the smooth surface is deduced. Firstly, the data confirm the high energy asymptotic behavior of the reflection, defined by the non-retarded attractive van der Waals potential. The experiment shows very good agreement with our calculations covering the entire energy region, in which also Casimir forces play a role. Parameters for the gas-solid interaction perfectly match those reported in literature in the vicinity of the potential minimum.

Reionization of Hydrogen and Helium by Early Stars and Quasars
Creators: name: Wyithe, Stuart
name: Loeb, Abraham
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We compute the reionization histories of hydrogen and helium due to the ionizing radiation fields produced by stars and quasars. For the quasars we use a model based on halo-merger rates that reproduces all known properties of the quasar luminosity function at high redshifts. The less constrained properties of the ionizing radiation produced by stars are modeled with two free parameters: (i) a transition redshift, z_tran, above which the stellar population is dominated by massive, zero-metallicity stars and below which it is dominated by a Scalo mass function; (ii) the product of the escape fraction of stellar ionizing photons from their host galaxies and the star-formation efficiency, f_esc f_*. We constrain the allowed range of these free parameters at high redshifts based on the lack of the HI Gunn-Peterson trough at z<6 and the upper limit on the total intergalactic optical depth for electron scattering, tau_es<0.18, from recent cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. We find that quasars ionize helium by a redshift z~4, but cannot reionize hydrogen by themselves before z~6. A major fraction of the allowed combinations of f_esc f_* and z_tran lead to an early peak in the ionized fraction due to metal-free stars at high redshifts. This sometimes results in two reionization epochs, namely an early HII or HeIII overlap phase followed by recombination and a second overlap phase. Even if early overlap is not achieved, the peak in the visibility function for scattering of the CMB often coincides with the early ionization phase rather than with the actual reionization epoch. Consequently, tau_es does not correspond directly to the reionization redshift. We generically find values of tau_es>7%, that should be detectable by the MAP satellite.

description: The main aim of this study is to summarize the steps of operation of an automatic milking system. The milking system is used in a fresh milk producing farm: the Józsefmajor Experimental and Demonstration Farm of the Szent István University of Gödöllő. The use of automatic milking robot system is unique in Hungary and also in Europe. The installation of the milking robot changed the steps of the formerly installed HACCP system and made the milking process more simple: due to the fully automatic milking process there are less physical and biological critical points. In summary, automatic milking system helps to harmonize the milking, feeding and relaxing period of the herd, and also makes the compliance with food safety regulations easier. The second aim of this study to define the possible cost-benefit changes due to the automatic milking system in the dairy farm. Further aim of this study to shows economic methods which help the farmers to make decision about milking systems.

description: Varietal adoption based on household surveys has mostly relied on farmers’ response to varietal identification. This method can give biased estimates if farmers are unable to identify improved varieties as a group or by name, or give names that do not match with the improved variety list. To tackle these potential problems requires time intensive data collection such as including follow-up questions in the survey instrument, visiting the field to observe plant characteristics, or collecting sample materials (i.e., photos, seeds/plant tissues) from the farmers for later verification by experts. Each of these approaches has implications on the cost of data collection and the accuracy with which they can correctly identify a variety. This paper reports the results of two pilot studies conducted in Ghana and Zambia to test different approaches of collecting variety-specific adoption data, and to validate them against the benchmark of DNA-fingerprinting to determine which method is most effective in measuring varietal adoption. Results suggest large variations in the estimates of adoption rates obtained by these different methods, compared to DNA fingerprinting results. This paper also highlights some potential challenges of varietal identification when multiple released varieties are discovered to be essentially the same based on the DNA fingerprints or when released varieties share the same DNA fingerprint as some landrace materials included in the reference library. The Implications of these results on the effectiveness of alternate methods of varietal identification, including DNA fingerprinting are discussed.

description: The paper aims to present the importance that institutional arrangements play in the economic systems beyond the scope of one country. The authors attempts also to evaluate impact that the institutional arrangement of the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy plays for the development of agriculture and rural areas in Poland. The paper argues that institutional arrangement of mechanisms and instruments of CAP, especially of single market and financial solidarity, leads participants of this system to obtain additional value not only in form of financial benefits, but also in form of economic profits resulted from uncertainty avoidance of free market.

description: While distributed algorithms provide advantages for the control of complex large-scale systems by requiring a lower local computational load and less local memory, it is a challenging task to design high-performance distributed control policies. Learning-based control algorithms offer promising opportunities to address this challenge, but generally cannot guarantee safety in terms of state and input constraint satisfaction. A recently proposed safety framework for centralized linear systems ensures safety by matching the learning-based input online with the initial input of a model predictive control law capable of driving the system to a terminal set known to be safe. We extend this idea to derive a distributed model predictive safety certification (DMPSC) scheme, which is able to ensure state and input constraint satisfaction when applying any learning-based control algorithm to an uncertain distributed linear system with dynamic couplings. The scheme is based on a distributed tube-based model predictive control (MPC) concept, where subsystems negotiate local tube sizes among neighbors in order to mitigate restrictiveness of the safety approach. In addition, we present a technique for generating a structured ellipsoidal robust positive invariant tube. In numerical simulations, we show that the safety framework ensures constraint satisfaction for an initially unsafe control policy and allows to improve overall control performance compared to robust distributed MPC.

description: We perform the quantum yields in a multi-band quantum dot (QD) photocell via doping an intermediate band (IB) between the conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB). Under two different sub-band gap layouts, the output power has a prominent enhancement than the single-band gap photocell and the achieved peak photo-to-charge efficiency reaches to 74.9% as compared to the limit efficiency of 63.2% via the IB approach in the theoretical solar cell prototype. The achieved quantum yields reveal the potential to improve efficiency by some effective theoretical approaches in the QD-IB photocell.

Palaeophilotes jacuticus

description: Distribution range of P. jacuticus
Palaeophilotes jacuticus is described from the vicinity of the city of Yakutsk in eastern Siberia (Korshunov & Viidalepp 1980) and is known from central and southern Yakutia as well as from the Baikal region in southern Siberia, in particular from the Irkutsk region and the Republic of Buryatia (Korshunov & Gorbunov 1995, Gorbunov 2001, Tshikolovets et al. 2002, Gorbunov & Kosterin 2003). The species is clearly distinguished from the closely related P. vicrama by the structure of the male genitalia. Palaeophilotes jacuticus has two protruding teeth at the apex of the valve (Fig. 4A,B), while P. vicrama has one protruding tooth at the apex of the valve (Fig. 4C). In this respect, P. jacuticus is close to the Western European P. baton. It has even been suggested that P. baton and P. jacuticus are conspecific (Dantchenko & Tuzov 2000). However, substantial differences in the valve proportion between P. baton and P. jacuticus do not allow them to be classified as conspecific populations (Gorbunov 2001).
We examined the genitals of two males from the Baikal region (Russia, Irkutskaya oblast, Olkhonsky distr., 15 km NE Yelantsy vill. Tazheranskaya steppe, salt lakes, 52.872°N, 106.591°E, 10 June 2000, I. Makhov leg.). Analysis of the genitals unambiguously identified the butterflies as P. jacuticus (Fig. 4B), thus conforming the earlier reports (Korshunov & Gorbunov 1995, Gorbunov 2001, Tshikolovets et al. 2002).

description: Using Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent-potential approximation in the atomic-sphere approximation (KKR-ASA CPA) method for taking into account the effects of disorder, Gaspari-Gyorffy formalism for calculating the electron-phonon coupling constant $λ$, and Allen-Dynes equation for calculating T_c, we have studied the variation of T_c in Mg_{1-x}Ta_{x}B_2 alloys as a function of Ta) concentration. Our results show that the T_c decreases with the addition of Ta for upto 40 at% and remains essentially zero from 60 at% to 80 at% of Ta. We also find TaB_2 to be superconducting, albeit at a lower temperature. Our analysis shows that the variation in T_c in Mg_{1-x}Ta_{x}B_2 is mostly dictated by the changes in the B p density of states with the addition of Ta.

description: This study uses the multiple logistic regression method to estimate the effectiveness of seat belts in reducing fatal and nonfatal injuries to occupants involved in motor vehicle crashes. Two vehicle groups - passenger cars, and other passenger vehicles that included vans and pickup trucks - were considered in estimating seat belt effectiveness values using highway crash data in Kansas. According to the results, the estimated effectiveness of seat belts in reducing fatal injuries is 56% for passenger car occupants and 61% for others. In passenger cars, seat belts are 53% and 55% effective in reducing incapacitating and non-incapacitating injuries, respectively. In the case of other passenger vehicles, corresponding values are found to be 52% and 51%.

Testing CIBER cosmic infrared background measurements and axionlike particles with observations of TeV blazars

description: The first measurements from the CIBER experiment of extragalactic background light (EBL) in near-infrared (NIR) band exhibit a higher intensity than those inferred through $γ$-ray observations. Recent theoretical-EBL intensities are typically consistent with the very high energy (VHE) $γ$-ray observations. Yet, it is possible that the excess NIR radiation is a new component of EBL and not in tension with the TeV spectra of distant blazars, since the hypothetical axion-like particle (ALP) may lead to a reduced opacity of the Universe for VHE $γ$-rays. In order to probe whether the excess component arises mainly from EBL, thirteen observed spectra in high energy and VHE ranges from ten distant TeV BL Lac objects are fitted by four theoretical spectra which involve theoretical EBL (Gilmore ), Gilmore's EBL model including photon/ALP coupling, Gilmore's EBL with CIBER excess and the latter including photon/ALP coupling respectively. We find the goodness of fit for the model with CIBER excess can be improved with a significance of $7.6~σ$ after including the photon/ALP coupling; Thus, the ALP/photon mixing mechanism can effectively alleviate the tension; However, the Gilmore EBL model, on the whole, is more compatible with the observed spectra compared to those with ALP, although individual blazars such as PKS 1424+240 and 1ES 1101-232 prefer the ALP-model. Our results suggest that the recent EBL models can solely explain the VHE $γ$-ray observations, and assuming the existence of the ALP to alleviate the tension is not required in a statistical sense, thus the excess over the EBL models is less likely to be a new EBL component.
