description: The Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) observed thermal emission in the far- and mid-infrared (from 10 cm$^{-1}$ to 1500 cm$^{-1}$), enabling spatiotemporal studies of ethane on Titan across the span of the Cassini mission from 2004 through 2017. Many previous measurements of ethane on Titan have relied on modeling the molecule's mid-infrared $ν_{12}$ band, centered on 822 cm$^{-1}$. Other bands of ethane at shorter and longer wavelengths were seen, but have not been modeled to measure ethane abundance. Spectral line lists of the far-infrared $ν_{4}$ torsional band at 289 cm$^{-1}$ and the mid-infrared $ν_{8}$ band centered ay 1468 cm$^{-1}$ have recently been studied in the laboratory. We model CIRS observations of each of these bands (along with the $ν_{12}$ band) separately and compare retrieved mixing ratios from each spectral region. Nadir observations of of the $ν_{4}$ band probe the low stratosphere below 100 km. Our equatorial measurements at 289 cm$^{-1}$ show an abundance of (1.0$\pm$0.4) $\times$10$^{-5}$ at 88 km, from 2007 to 2017. This mixing ratio is consistent with measurements at higher altitudes, in contrast to the depletion that many photochemical models predict. Measurements from the $ν_{12}$ and $ν_{8}$ bands are comparable to each other, with the $ν_{12}$ band probing an altitude range that extends deeper in the atmosphere. We suggest future studies of planetary atmospheres may observe the $ν_{8}$ band, enabling shorter wavelength studies of ethane. There may also be an advantage to observing both the ethane $ν_{8}$ band and nearby methane $ν_{4}$ band in the same spectral window.

description: We study the nonlinear evolution of the centrifugal instability developing on a columnar anticyclone with a Gaussian angular velocity using a semi-linear approach. The model consists in two coupled equations: one for the linear evolution of the most unstable perturbation on the axially averaged mean flow and another for the evolution of the mean flow under the effect of the axially averaged Reynolds stresses due to the perturbation. Such model is similar to the self-consistent model of \cite{Vlado14} except that the time averaging is replaced by a spatial averaging. The non-linear evolutions of the mean flow and the perturbations predicted by this semi-linear model are in very good agreement with DNS for the Rossby number $Ro=-4$ and both values of the Reynolds numbers investigated: $Re=800$ and $2000$ (based on the initial maximum angular velocity and radius of the vortex). An improved model taking into account the second harmonic perturbations is also considered. The results show that the angular momentum of the mean flow is homogenized towards a centrifugally stable profile via the action of the Reynolds stresses of the fluctuations. The final velocity profile predicted by \cite{Kloosterziel07} in the inviscid limit is extended to finite high Reynolds numbers. It is in good agreement with the numerical simulations.
Two nonmagnetic impurities in the DSC and DDW state of the cuprate superconductors as a probe for the pseudogap

description: The quantum interference between two nonmagnetic impurities is studied numerically in both the d-wave superconducting (DSC) and the d-density wave (DDW) state. In all calculations we include the tunnelling through excited states from the CuO$_2$ planes to the BiO layer probed by the STM tip. Compared to the single impurity case, a systematic study of the modulations in the two-impurity local density of states can distinguish between the DSC or DDW states. This is important if the origin of the pseudogap phase is caused by preformed pairs or DDW order. Furthermore, in the DSC state the study of the LDOS around two nonmagnetic impurities provide further tests for the potential scattering model versus more strongly correlated models.

description: Approaches for prospective estimation of economic consequences until the last stage of the agri-food chain can rarely be found. Hence, we see the necessity of working out a conceptual assessment model for cost-benefit evaluation of food safety measures along the supply chain. Based on the findings of a thorough literature study a preliminary conceptual framework was developed. The purpose of the framework is to combine most relevant aspects of agri-food production, quality management, risk-analysis and regulatory impact assessment that have to be considered during in the course of an economic assessment of food safety.

description: We show that the Alexander-Conway polynomial Delta is obtainable via a particular one-variable reduction of each two-variable Links-Gould invariant LG^{m,1}, where m is a positive integer. Thus there exist infinitely many two-variable generalisations of Delta. This result is not obvious since in the reduction, the representation of the braid group generator used to define LG^{m,1} does not satisfy a second-order characteristic identity unless m=1. To demonstrate that the one-variable reduction of LG^{m,1} satisfies the defining skein relation of Delta, we evaluate the kernel of a quantum trace.

description: In this study, the phylogeny of Alburnus genus distributed in Turkish freshwaters was performed by analyzing mitochondrial cyt b gene (1141 bp) and COI gene (1551 bp) sequences from 1172 samples representing 112 populations of 24 species through their geographical distribution. According to our findings, 20 valid species are distributed in Turkey of which 18 have already been known. While six Alburnus species (A. battalgilae, A. istanbulensis, A. carinatus, A. schischkovi, A. nasreddini ve A. adanensis) have been synonomized, two new species (Alburnus sp.1 and Alburnus sp.2) from Dicle River and Çapraz Stream/Susurluk River have been identified. Extinct species such as A. akili and A. nicaeensis have not been observed in situ. Phylogenetic tree topologies and haplotype network of the 119 cyt b and 80 COI haplotypes detected in Alburnus species have indicated a consensus tree topology containing twenty lineages, each of corresponding to one species, and three Alburnus haplogroups corresponding to the geographical origins: Eastern Anatolia (I), Mediterranean (2) and Western & Northern Anatolia (3). The results indicate that the divergence between those haplogroups may have occurred during the Middle Miocene-Middle Pleistocene periods (from 14.9 to 5.29 million years).

description: With the advent of blockchain technology, multiple research avenues and platforms for dialogue have opened up. However technology transfer to the pubic has not been implemented, such that regular public can access and make use of secure and decentralized software. Most blockchain solutions till date deal with financial applications or monetary transactions, which may not be helpful or be accessible to the general public, especially the lower levels of the financial society. Medi-Chain is a people-first medical blockchain with a usable desktop application and interface which makes use of cutting-edge blockchain technology along with BFT consensus protocols to ensure highly secure and private medical data records. This paper aims to bring about a change in how blockchains-as-a-service is perceived and how adoption of new technology is largely based on usability and ease of adoption.

description: While generally the share of imports is increasing in the German organic fruit and vegetable market, the situations seems to be better in the case of organic apples, and the share of domestic produce is comparably high at about 55 %. This contribution answers the question on the reasons and the success factors within the organic apple supply chain. The focus of the research is laid on the relationship quality and on collaboration activities. In order to create a better understanding of the supply chain some information on production, imports and main distribution channels is provided. Structured interviews were conducted with selected actors of the supply chain. Success factors of the organic apple supply chain turned out to be the high relationship quality between actors which results in intense collaboration. Actors at all levels of the supply chain are highly committed and describe their business relations as satisfying and trustful. However, part of the success is also related to the pronounced retailers and consumer preferences for domestic apples.

description: Pakistan is one of a few sites, associated with the earliest known independent domestication event in the evolutionary history of chicken, which is socio-economically and historically the most important poultry bird in the country. However, the divergence, past population dynamics, and demographic history of Pakistani chickens have not been addressed so far. Therefore, we herein investigated the indigenous Pakistani chickens using mitogenomic markers. We first prepared individual DNA samples from the chicken feathers, and generated nucleotide sequence data, which was then subjected to various population genetics analyses. In molecular phylogenetic analysis, the Pakistani chickens were clustered under nine different clades. Among the wild fowls, the Indian red jungle fowl (IRJF) shared very close affinities to Pakistani chickens. The Bayesian skyline plot showed an increase in the effective population size of Pakistani chickens during the last 50 years. Finally, a time-calibrated phylogeny inferred molecular divergence of the Pakistani chickens. A molecular rate of 3.6 × 10−6 mutations/site/year (95% HPD interval: 2.28 × 10−8 to 9.32 × 10−6) was estimated for the data set. In a rooted tree with root-age of 12058 years (95% HPD interval: 1161–38411), the Pakistani chicken haplotypes showed divergence from IRJF haplotypes around 6987 years (95% HPD interval: 1132–20746) ago, and they shared their most recent common ancestor with Gallus gallus spadiceus, and G. g. jabouillei at the root of the tree. Overall, these results suggest that Pakistani chicken haplotypes share their ancestral gene pool with the IRJF as compared to other red jungle fowl subspecies.

description: Creating more sustainable products is a major topic throughout the consumer goods industry. To succeed, it is necessary to follow a holistic, “cradle-to-grave” approach which involves stakeholders throughout the entire value chain while focusing on consumer goods. Focusing only on one specific value chain step can create unintended consequences in a later stage of a products life cycle. This paper shows how applied science and value chain management through BASF’s Sustainability, Eco-Efficiency and Traceability (SET) Initiative meets those needs. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is the quantitative technique to determine multiple environmental, social and economic impacts of a product and points out potential tradeoffs. However LCA alone cannot comprise all impacts. Therefore BASF’s efforts are not just fundamentally based on this technique but also go beyond it. This paper first explains the three pillars of the initiative, consisting of the Hot Spot Analysis (a qualitative tool), the Eco-Efficiency Analysis (a unique LCA approach) and the traceability strategy for supply chain transparency. It secondly presents examples for the 3 pillars for the pork value chain.

description: This paper analyzes the economic value added, as well as its determining factors, for selected groups of agricultural enterprises - legal persons, farming in conventional and organic ways. The impact of the weighted average cost of capital to the value of EVA, as well as the efficient use of invested capital, including capital structure, in relation to farming, are both evaluated. The article also aims to verify the hypothesis that selected farms are able to achieve, without subsidies, particularly direct payments, positive economic value added and an efficient use of capital. The panel data set we use is drawn from the database of the Creditinfo Company Monitor, collected by Creditinfo Czech Republic, s.r.o. Specifically, we use information from the final accounts of chosen farms in the years 2006 - 2010. This paper is part of the research grant IGA 20121069, „Identification of the major determinants of the farm profits of legal persons and a determination of their specific characteristics”.

description: We present a method based on unsupervised machine learning to identify regions of interest using particle velocity distributions as a signature pattern. An automatic density estimation technique is applied to particle distributions provided by PIC simulations to study magnetic reconnection. The key components of the method involve: i) a Gaussian mixture model determining the presence of a given number of subpopulations within an overall population, and ii) a model selection technique with Bayesian Information Criterion to estimate the appropriate number of subpopulations. Thus, this method identifies automatically the presence of complex distributions, such as beams or other non-Maxwellian features, and can be used as a detection algorithm able to identify reconnection regions. The approach is demonstrated for specific double Harris sheet simulations but it can in principle be applied to any other type of simulation and observational data on the particle distribution function.

description: This study determined the gender issues on poverty alleviation programmes; the case of the National Fadama 1 Development Programme in Abia State, Nigeria. Multi-stage random sampling technique was used in the selection of the local government areas, communities and sample size of 150 respondents (75 men and 75 females). The instrument for data collection was via well structured and protested questionnaires. The result of the poverty profiles indicated that the poverty incidence of the male and female fadama1 farmers was 0.67 and 0.56 respectively. The result on the poverty gap (measures income shortfall) showed that the men required 46.0 percent and the women 48.0 percent of the poverty line to get out of poverty. The result also posted the Gini-coefficient (measures the extent of inequalities in income distribution) of the male and female fadama farmers to be 0.233 and 0.347 respectively. The result of the paired t-test revealed that the farm size and annual fadama farm income were statistically significant at 99.0% and 95.0%. Confidence level respectively. Policy aimed at annulling the land tenure system and replacing it with a gender sensitive system that will redistributive the fadama land equitably. The land tenure system which causes fragmentation of land should be abolished and a policy aimed at redistributing fadama land equitably put in place.

description: The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1 (COI) gene has been widely used in phylogenetic studies of crustaceans and analyses in population genetics. As COI studies have become more popular, there has been an increase in the number of reports of the presence of nuclear insertions of mitochondrial DNA (Numts) and mitochondrial heteroplasmy. Here, we provide evidence of both types of event in the COI sequences of Macrobrachium amazonicum, an economically important freshwater prawn, which is widespread in South America. Heteroplasmy and Numts were confirmed by different methods of DNA extraction (genomic, mitochondrial, and nuclear-enriched DNA), cloning, and sequencing, and were observed in 11 of the 14 populations sampled, primarily in the Amazon region. We discuss how the occurrence of these events affects the interpretation of the genetic relationships among the M. amazonicum populations, and we recommend caution when using COI for genetic inferences in prawns of the genus Macrobrachium, and in particular that any analysis should include nuclear markers.

description: A facile approach is reported for the preparation of dirhodium coordination polymers [Rh₂(L1)₂]n (Rh₂-L1) and [Rh₂(L2)₂]n (Rh₂-L2; L1=N,N’-(pyromellitoyl)-bis-L-phenylalanine diacid anion, L2=bis-N,N’-(L-phenylalanyl) naphthalene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylate diimide) from chiral dicarboxylic acids by ligand exchange. Multiple techniques including FTIR, XPS, and ¹H→¹³C CP MAS NMR spectroscopy reveal the formation of the coordination polymers. ¹⁹F MAS NMR was utilized to investigate the remaining TFA groups in the obtained coordination polymers, and demonstrated near-quantitative ligand exchange. DR-UV-vis and XPS confirm the oxidation state of the Rh center and that the Rh-single bond in the dirhodium node is maintained in the synthesis of Rh₂-L1 and Rh₂-L2. Both coordination polymers exhibit excellent catalytic performance in the asymmetric cyclopropanation reaction between styrene and diazooxindole. The catalysts can be easily recycled and reused without significant reduction in their catalytic efficiency.

description: The well-known laser-induced Rabi oscillations of a two-level atom are shown to be suppressed under certain conditions when the atom is entering a laser-illuminated region. For temporal Rabi oscillations the effect has two regimes: classical-like, at intermediate atomic velocities, and quantum at low velocities, associated respectively with the formation of incoherent or coherent internal states of the atom in the laser region. In the low velocity regime the laser projects the atom onto a pure internal state that can be controlled by detuning. Spatial Rabi oscillations are only suppressed in this low velocity, quantum regime.

description: The practice of no-till in crop production has gained popularity in recent years because it is a superior soil conservation practice and offers reduction in fuel and labor requirements. But, its adaption is very slow in many countries because of lack of knowledge, experience and machines. A series of demonstration studies was conducted to observe the performance of the no-till systems in farmers’ conditions in South East Anatolia region of Turkey. Four demonstration sites were established, each of which was also planted with farmers’ application for wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) after wheat, wheat after lentil (Lens Culinaris, L), wheat after cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and lentil after wheat in 2009-2010 growing season. Yield was higher under no-till planting (1.50 t ha-1) than farmers’ application (1.10 t ha-1) for lentil production after wheat. The no- till planting had similar yield to farmers’ application for wheat production after wheat and lentil. The yield performance of wheat following cotton for no-till ridge planting and farmers’ application was not consistent at three demonstration sites. In conclusion, the studies of the demonstration showed that no-till planting may be used in lentil and wheat production following wheat and lentil under these weather and soil conditions in South East Anatolia Region of Turkey.

description: Time-resolved optical measurements in (110)-oriented GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells show a ten-fold increase of the spin-relaxation rate as a function of applied electric field from 20 to 80 kV cm-1 at 170 K and indicate a similar variation at 300 K, in agreement with calculations based on the Rashba effect. Spin relaxation is almost field-independent below 20 kV cm-1 reflecting quantum well interface asymmetry. The results indicate the achievability of voltage-gateable spin-memory time longer than 3 ns simultaneously with high electron mobility.

description: Quantum decoherence can arise due to classical fluctuations in the parameters which define the dynamics of the system. In this case decoherence, and complementary noise, is manifest when data from repeated measurement trials are combined. Recently a number of authors have suggested that fluctuations in the space-time metric arising from quantum gravity effects would correspond to a source of intrinsic noise, which would necessarily be accompanied by intrinsic decoherence. This work extends a previous heuristic modification of Schrödinger dynamics based on discrete time intervals with an intrinsic uncertainty. The extension uses unital semigroup representations of space and time translations rather than the more usual unitary representation, and does the least violence to physically important invariance principles. Physical consequences include a modification of the uncertainty principle and a modification of field dispersion relations, in a way consistent with other modifications suggested by quantum gravity and string theory .

description: To increase the competitiveness of the European model of agriculture, an environment of innovation must be created in the field of primary agricultural production and in the subsequent processing industries. The level of innovation in the processing industry greatly influences the competitiveness of businesses on the market. The team climate inventory (TCI-38) is a specific tool for measuring the important aspects of an innovation- focused team work environment. The aim of the article is to verify the possibilities of use of the TCI-38 tool in the Czech Republic. The TCI-38 factor structure in the Czech Republic is described in the article on the basis of exploratory and confirming factor analysis. Through exploratory factor analysis, the input variables were reduced to 5 factors: (1) Team vision, (2) Support for Innovations, (3) Participation Safety, (4) Task Orientation, (5) Communication, which accounted for 79.46 % of the total variance. The results Rotation Sums of Squared Loading and reliability coefficients of extracted factors show that TCI-38 is a stable tool for measuring the climate for innovation in the team work environment in the Czech Republic.

description: Purpose: To analyze the refractive, biometric and topographic changes in last year Portuguese medical students exposed to high educational demands. Methods: One-year longitudinal cohort study was performed. Data collected consisted in ocular refraction, axial length (AL), keratometry, corneal thickness, macular thickness and volume. Ophthalmological evaluations were performed 6 months before the students’ final exam, one month after the exam and 6 months later. Results: Twenty-five medical students were included. The mean spherical equivalent was -1,57 ± 1,29 D at the 1st visit, -1,73 ± 1,44 D in the 2nd visit and -1,40 ± 1,39 D in the 3rd visit. There were no significant differences in the mean spherical equivalent between the 1st and 2nd visits (p=0,055) and between the 1st and 3rd visits (p=0,331). In the 1st, 2nd and 3rd visits, the AL was 23,91 ± 0,99 mm; 24,01 ± 0,98 mm and 23,94 ±1,03 mm, respectively. The AL increased significantly between the 1st and 2nd visits (p<0,001), but the variation between the 1st and 3rd visits was not significant (p=0,414). Corneal thickness and posterior surface corneal keratometry in the steepest axis decreased significantly at the 2nd visit (p<0,05). Macular thickness and volume variation during the follow-up were not statistically significant (p>0,05). Conclusions: This study failed to show statistically significant changes in refraction towards myopia in Portuguese medical students after a long period of near-work; nonetheless the small sample size may have contributed to the lack of statistical significance. The refractive values returned to baseline after 6 months.

description: The Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) is a famous NP-complete problem in computer science. An effective way for solving a satisfiable SAT problem is the stochastic local search (SLS). However, in this method, the initialization is assigned in a random manner, which impacts the effectiveness of SLS solvers. To address this problem, we propose NLocalSAT. NLocalSAT combines SLS with a solution prediction model, which boosts SLS by changing initialization assignments with a neural network. We evaluated NLocalSAT on five SLS solvers (CCAnr, Sparrow, CPSparrow, YalSAT, and probSAT) with instances in the random track of SAT Competition 2018. The experimental results show that solvers with NLocalSAT achieve 27% ~ 62% improvement over the original SLS solvers.

description: Objetivo: Descrição do caso clínico de uma doente diagnosticada com pseudotumor cerebri que apresentou melhoria após ser submetida a cirurgia bariátrica para obesidade mórbida associada. Caso Clínico: Doente de 42 anos, com obesidade mórbida (IMC de 44.4 kg/m2) e antecedentes de transplante renal, recorre ao Serviço de Urgência por queixas de hipovisão e cefaleias refratárias à terapêutica. A acuidade visual inicial era de 4/10 e 10/10 no olho direito e esquerdo, respetivamente. Foi objetivado defeito pupilar aferente relativo no olho direito, edema da papila bilateral, com neuro-imagem normal e pressão inicial do líquido cefalorraquidiano de 450 mmH2O. Foi medicada inicialmente com acetazolamida 500 mg e topiramato 75 mg e não tolerando doses superiores, pelo que o tratamento médico foi insuficiente. Posteriormente, a paciente foi submetida a sleeve gástrico por laparoscopia. Um ano e meio após a cirurgia, foi verificada uma perda de 44% do peso corporal e sem novos episódios de cefaleias. O exame oftalmológico demonstrou melhoria da acuidade visual, do papiledema e dos campos visuais. Discussão: A cirurgia bariátrica pode beneficiar de forma significativa os doentes com obesidade mórbida e pseudotumor cerebri.

$Ξ$ hyperons in the nuclear medium described by chiral NLO interactions

description: Properties of the baryon-baryon interactions in the strangeness $S=-2$ sector of chiral effective field theory at the next-to-leading order (NLO) level are explored by calculating $Ξ$ single-particle potentials in symmetric nuclear matter. The results are transformed to the $Ξ$ potential in finite nuclei by a local-density approximation with convolution by a Gaussian form factor to simulate finite-range effects. The $Ξ$ potential is repulsive in a central region, and attractive in a surface area when the $Ξ$ energy is low. The attractive pocket can lower the $Ξ^-$ $s$ and $p$ atomic states. The obtained binding energies in $^{12}$C and $^{14}$N are found to be conformable with those found in emulsion experiments at Japan's National Laboratory for High Energy Physics (KEK). $K^+$ spectra of $(K^-, K^+)$ $Ξ$ production inclusive processes on $^9$Be and $^{12}$C are also evaluated, using a semi-classical distorted wave method. The absolute values of the cross section are properly reproduced for $^9$Be, but the peak locates at a lower energy position than that of the experimental data. The calculated spectrum of $^{12}$C should be compared with the forthcoming result from the new experiments recently carried out at KEK with better resolution than before. The comparison would be valuable to improve the understanding of the $ΞN$ interaction, the parametrization of which has still large uncertainties.

description: The purpose of this study was investigation of East Azerbaijan researchers and extension agents’ view about the role of extension services on agricultural development. The methodology was descriptive-correlation which is carried out by survey method. In this study, the sample population was 335 people including all researchers and extension agents working in the agricultural sector. To assess the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used and level over 0.75 for all sections of the questionnaire was measured. Its validity was established asking for the help from the technical experts. Results showed that the agricultural extension is an undeniable necessity in the agricultural development the effects of which has been positive and significant in the major variables of the agricultural development. The shortcomings are not due to the nature of extension rather they are because of improper execution, lack of support and similar reasons. The reduction of pest damage, improvement of the social status, contribution to boost handicrafts, acceptance of product insurance, recommendations for land leveling, creation of sale cooperation, awareness raising of the market, use of modern irrigation methods and several factors else was those extension role factors that the respondents agreed upon.
