description: We propose a novel approach in a search for the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) by taking advantage of signal amplification in a weak measurement, known as weak value amplification. Considering an analogy to the weak measurement that can measure the spin magnetic moment interaction, we examine an experimental setup with a polarized neutron beam through an external electric field with spatial gradient, where the signal is sensitive to the EDM interaction. In particular, a dedicated analysis of effects from impurities in pre- and post-selections is performed. We show that the weak value amplification occurs where the signal is enhanced by up to two orders of magnitude, and demonstrate a potential sensitivity of the proposed setup to the neutron EDM.

description: The Lick Northern Proper Motion (NPM) program, a two-epoch (1947-1988) photographic survey of the northern two-thirds of the sky (Dec. > -23 deg), has measured absolute proper motions, on an inertial system defined by distant galaxies, for 380,000 stars from 8  14) anonymous stars for astrometry and galactic studies, 92,000 bright (B < 14) positional reference stars, and 35,000 special stars chosen for astrophysical interest. The NPM2 proper motions are on the ICRS system, via Tycho-2 stars, to an accuracy of 0.5 mas/yr in each field. RMS proper motion precision is 6 mas/yr. Positional errors average 80 mas at the mean plate epoch 1968, and 200 mas at the NPM2 catalog epoch 2000. NPM2 photographic photometry errors average 0.18 mag in B, and 0.20 mag in B-V. The NPM2 Catalog and the updated (to J2000) NPM1 Catalog are available at the CDS Strasbourg data center and on the NPM WWW site (http://www.ucolick.org/~npm). The NPM2 Catalog completes the Lick Northern Proper Motion program after a half-century of work by three generations of Lick Observatory astronomers. The NPM Catalogs will serve as a database for research in galactic structure, stellar kinematics, and astrometry.

description: Egypt, the world’s biggest wheat importer, is the largest market for Black Sea wheat exports. Half of Egypt’s wheat imports are purchased by its government’s General Authority for Supply of Commodities (GASC), employing a tender system. Based on a unique data base of GASC tender prices, the price relationships between the GASC tender and Black Sea wheat exporters (Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Kazakhstan) and also France and the USA are investigated. Results of linear and threshold vector error correction models suggest that export prices in the Black Sea region continuously and rapidly adjust to GASC tender prices, while the GASC tender price only adjusts to the French export price. Obviously, the GASC tender price has the function of a wheat world market price in the Black Sea region. Also, the GASC tender system creates strong price competition between the Black Sea exporters and France. We trace this back to the fact that the GASC tender system enhances transparency about competitive prices of the Black Sea wheat market, where an effective price discovery mechanism is still missing.

description: We created a database of lost and rediscovered tetrapod species, identified patterns in their distribution and factors influencing rediscovery. Tetrapod species are being lost at a faster rate than they are being rediscovered, due to slowing rates of rediscovery for amphibians, birds and mammals, and rapid rates of loss for reptiles. Finding lost species and preventing future losses should therefore be a conservation priority. By comparing the taxonomic and spatial distribution of lost and rediscovered tetrapod species, we have identified regions and taxa with many lost species in comparison to those that have been rediscovered—our results may help to prioritise search effort to find them. By identifying factors that influence rediscovery, we have improved our ability to broadly distinguish the types of species that are likely to be found from those that are not (because they are likely to be extinct). Some lost species, particularly those that are small and perceived to be uncharismatic, may have been neglected in terms of conservation effort, and other lost species may be hard to find due to their intrinsic characteristics and the characteristics of the environments they occupy (e.g. nocturnal species, fossorial species and species occupying habitats that are more difficult to survey such as wetlands). These lost species may genuinely await rediscovery. However, other lost species that possess characteristics associated with rediscovery (e.g. large species) and that are also associated with factors that negatively influence rediscovery (e.g. those occupying small islands) are more likely to be extinct. Our results may foster pragmatic search protocols that prioritise lost species likely to still exist.

description: Trust is considered to be a crucial element of social cohesion. At the same time, as research has shown, education can be understood as an important precondition of trust. Furthermore, contextual conditions are important for the development of trust. In spite of this, the role of trust in the multi‐level education system has been scarcely investigated. This paper introduces a comprehensive model of trust in the education system, based on a systematic literature review of 183 recent peer‐reviewed articles following a thematic and interpretive review approach. The suggested model consists of four interconnected elements (generalised trust, educational governance, educational settings, educational attainment). By introducing a comprehensive model of trust in multi‐level education systems the paper aims at opening up perspectives for future theoretically driven, interdisciplinary comparative research that may shed further light on the role of trust in education systems. The paper proceeds as follows. First, trust is discussed as a complex subject in research, policy and practice in multi‐level education systems, and key research questions are derived from this. Second, the methodology of the systematic literature review is explained. Third, results from the literature review are presented, focusing on three domains of trust and their interrelations. Fourth, the comprehensive model of trust in multi‐level education systems is introduced. The fifth section discusses the findings and explores how future research could advance a comprehensive understanding of trust in education.

description: Despite their application in research and political consultancy, crop planning models have been rarely adopted in agricultural practice. High data requirements are claimed to be one of the main reasons for the implementation gap. The research objective of this contribution therefore was to create a crop planning model that focuses on both farm adaptation as well as usability. In order to achieve this goal, an interactive web-application was built. Through the use of linked open data, the application allows to create a personalised and optimised cropping plan within less than 10 minutes.

Die Tatsache der Freiwilligkeit von Kooperationen sowie die der zahlreichen politischen Änderungen im Bereich Nitrat lässt die Wirksamkeit solcher Maßnahmen jedoch in Frage stellen. Im Rahmen einer Analyse der aktuellen politischen Instrumente sowie einer qualitativen Expertenbefragung wurde die Rolle von Kooperationen aus Sicht der WVU untersucht. Für eine nachhaltige Senkung der Nitratwerte im Grundwasser sind strengere politische Reglementierungen notwendig. Kooperationen dienen derweil aufgrund ihrer Wirksamkeit lediglich als Kompromisslösung.

description: Graphene oxide (GO) reinforced polyimide composites with low-k, improved thermal stability, surface behavior and UV shielding properties have been developed. A new 2,6-bis(4-aminophenyl)-4-(4-(octyloxy)phenyl)pyridine (PyDA) was synthesized and its molecular structure has been confirmed by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Polyimide (PI) was prepared using pyridine-based amine and pyromellitic dianhydride and characterized. The varying weight percentages of (5, 10, 15 wt%) of GO have been reinforced into polyimide matrix to obtain nanocomposites and were characterized using TGA, XRD, SEM and TEM analysis. The thermal studies infer that the value of decomposition temperature (Td) obtained for neat PI matrix and GO-PI composites are 453°C and 520°C respectively and the percentage char yield are 38.9% and 40.5% respectively. The value of water contact angle of PI matrix has been steadily raised with the increasing incorporation of GO in the PI matrix. The values of contact angle observed for neat PI matrix and 15 wt% of GO reinforced PI nanocomposites are 87° and 98° respectively. Similarly, the values of dielectric constant obtained for neat polymer matrix and 15 wt% GO reinforced polyimide nanocomposites are 3.9 and 2.1 respectively. Results obtained from the UV studies indicated that the GO reinforced PI possesses better UV shielding behavior.

description: We have studied the composition-induced metal-to-insulator transitions of cation substituted Lithium Titanate, in the forms Li1+xTi2-xO4 and LiAlyTi2-yO4, utilising a quantum site percolation model, and we argue that such a model provides a very reliable representation of the noninteracting electrons in this material if strong correlations are ignored. We then determine whether or not such a model of 3d electrons moving on the Ti (corner-sharing tetrahedral) sublattice describes the observed metal-to-insulator transitions, with the critical concentration defined by the matching of the mobility edge and the chemical potential. Our analysis leads to quantitative predictions that are in disagreement with those measured experimentally. For example, experimentally for the LiAlyTi2-yO4 compound an Al concentration of y_c approximately 0.33 produces a metal-to-insulator transition, whereas our analysis of a quantum site percolation model predicts y_c approximately 0.83. One hypothesis that is consistent with these results is that since strong correlations are ignored in our quantum site percolation model, which includes the effects of configurational disorder only, such strong electronic correlations are both present and important.

description: A class of exactly solvable models of domain walls are worked out in D=4 ${\cal N}=1$ supergravity. We develop a method to embed globally supersymmetric theories with exact BPS domain wall solutions into supergravity, by introducing a gravitationally deformed superpotential. The gravitational deformation is natural in the spirit of maintaining the Kähler invariance. The solutions of the warp factor and the Killing spinor are also obtained. We find that three distinct behaviors of warp factors arise depending on the value of a constant term in the superpotential : exponentially decreasing in both sides of the wall, flat in one side and decreasing in the other, and increasing in one side and decreasing in the other. Only the first possibility gives the localized massless graviton zero mode. Models with multi-walls and models with runaway vacua are also discussed.

Anomalospiza imberbis mukandakundae C.M.N. White, 1946: 219 (Balovale).
Now Anomalospiza imberbis imberbis (Cabanis, 1868). See Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 75; Sorensen and Payne, 2001; Dickinson, 2003: 737; Fry and Keith, 2004: 417–419; and Payne, 2010: 219.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 704632, adult male, collected at Balovale, 13.30S, 23.06E (Times Atlas), Zambia (= Northern Rhodesia), on 10 January 1944, by C.M.N. White.
COMMENTS: In the original description, White designated as type of mukandakundae an adult male in his collection taken on 10 January 1944 and noted that he examined two males and one female. The above specimen was presented to AMNH by White (cataloged in 1953) and bears his type label in addition to that of AMNH. His two paratypes did not come to AMNH.
Anomalospiza imberbis was considered monotypic by Moreau and Greenway (1962: 75) and included at the end of the Ploceidae, where the name was misspelled ‘‘ makandakunae.’’ Now placed in the Viduidae following mitochondrial DNA studies by Sorensen and Payne (2001), it is considered monotypic by Dickinson (2003: 737). Fry and Keith (2004: 417) and Payne (2010: 219) recognize two subspecies, A. i. imberbis and A. i. butleri, with mukandakundae synonymized with nominate imberbis.

description: A central problem in machine learning and pattern recognition is the process of recognizing the most important features. In this paper, we provide a new feature selection method (DRPT) that consists of first removing the irrelevant features and then detecting correlations between the remaining features. Let $D=[A\mid \mathbf{b}]$ be a dataset, where $\mathbf{b}$ is the class label and $A$ is a matrix whose columns are the features. We solve $A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}$ using the least squares method and the pseudo-inverse of $A$. Each component of $\mathbf{x}$ can be viewed as an assigned weight to the corresponding column (feature). We define a threshold based on the local maxima of $\mathbf{x}$ and remove those features whose weights are smaller than the threshold. To detect the correlations in the reduced matrix, which we still call $A$, we consider a perturbation $\tilde A$ of $A$. We prove that correlations are encoded in $Δ\mathbf{x}=\mid \mathbf{x} -\tilde{\mathbf{x}}\mid $, where $\tilde{\mathbf{x}}$ is the least quares solution of $\tilde A\tilde{\mathbf{x}}=\mathbf{b}$. We cluster features first based on $Δ\mathbf{x}$ and then using the entropy of features. Finally, a feature is selected from each sub-cluster based on its weight and entropy. The effectiveness of DRPT has been verified by performing a series of comparisons with seven state-of-the-art feature selection methods over ten genetic datasets ranging up from 9,117 to 267,604 features. The results show that, over all, the performance of DRPT is favorable in several aspects compared to each feature selection algorithm. \e

description: For the spherical symmetric case, all quantities describing the relaxed dark matter halo can be expressed as functions of the gravitational potential $Φ$. Decomposing the radial velocity dispersion $σ_r$ with respect to $Φ$ at very large and very small radial distances the possible asymptotic behavior for the density and velocity profiles can be obtained. If reasonable boundary conditions are posed such as a finite halo mass and force-free halo centre the asymptotic density profiles at the centre should be much less steep than the profiles obtained within numerical simulations. In particular cases profiles like Plummer's model are obtained. The reasons of that seeming discrepancy with respect to the results of N-body simulations are discussed.

description: Pressure-enhanced sterilization (PES) and ohmic heating (OH) are two emerging sterilization techniques, currently lacking implementation in the food industry. However, both technologies offer significant benefits in terms of spore inactivation using reduced thermal intensity in food products, as well as minimized effects on sensory and nutritional profiles. In this study, PES and OH were tested based on possible food safety process windows in comparison to thermal retorting, to optimize the food quality of carrot-based purees. The following parameters related to food quality were tested: texture, carotenoid content, color, and detectable amount of food processing contaminants (FPC) formed. Application of the innovative sterilization techniques resulted in a better retention of color, texture, and carotenoids (for PES) as well as a reduced formation of food processing contaminants. Importantly, a significant reduction in the formation of furan and its derivates was observed, compared to the retorted samples. Hence, both sterilization technologies showed promising results in the mitigation of potential toxic processing contaminants and retention of quality attributes.

description: Our relationship with technology is often transactional, extractive, and exploitative, and this is especially true for marginalised users. On this roundtable we question our position as co-producers – those who make with technologies – as opposed to as fungible, exploited in the production of technology. In our discussion of large language models (LLMs), we challenge the deracination of A.I. and question its ability to authentically reproduce—and co-produce—Black vernacular styles as both cause for concern and a site of possibility. We think through the making of home(pages) in our engagement with the internet, and the production of nostalgia and ephemera as acts of refusal. We consider technology and/as care, through clinical fixations with fixing errant bodyminds through the use of high-capacity digital tools, and counterdiagnostic impulses wherein crip, BIPOC, and trans users refashion what it means to have a wayward body in the age of social media and biocertification. Refusal is an especially precious space of possibility, particularly for those who have historically not been given the option to say no. People of color and disabled people have long navigated this space between possibility and refusal of the newest technologies in ways that can empower and energize our awareness of the potential technoskepticism can offer. Finally, we reconfigure even the process of making academic knowledge, from writing as an individual towards a collective practice. Technoskepticism is a topical and timely multi-authored 50,000 word monograph written by an intergenerational group of 14 key researchers and artists (David Adelman, André Brock, Aaron Dial, Stephanie Dinkins, Rayvon Fouché, Huan He, Jeff Nagy, Lisa Nakamura, Catherine Knight Steele, Rianna Walcott, Kevin Winstead, Josie Williams, Remi Yergeau, and Lida Zeitlin-Wu) who comprise the DISCO (Digital Inquiry, Speculation, Collaboration, and Optimism) Network, a Mellon-funded research group dedicated to analyzing race, gender, disability, and technology.

description: We present Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST/RO) observations of 12CO J=4-3 and C I emission in the N44 H II complex in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We detected strong 12CO J=4-3 emission toward the H II region called as N44BC, which is located on the rim of an expanding giant shell in the N44 region. Analysis with a photodissociation region (PDR) model showed that the 12CO J=4-3 emitting cloud is very dense, with n ~ 10^5 cm^-3. We also note that there is a high-velocity component associated with the 12CO J=4-3 emission. This probably originates from molecular material accelerated as a result of the motion induced by the expanding giant shell surrounding LH47 in the N44 complex. We found that the kinetic energy of this high-velocity gas observed in the CO J=4-3 emission toward the rim of the expanding H II shell is at least an order of magnitude higher than the kinetic energy derived for the H I and H II gas in this region.

description: We provide a systematic construction of three-family N=1 supersymmetric Pati-Salam models from Type IIA orientifolds on $\IT^6/(\IZ_2\times \IZ_2)$ with intersecting D6-branes. All the gauge symmetry factors $SU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ arise from the stacks of D6-branes with U(n) gauge symmetries, while the ``hidden sector'' is specified by $USp(n)$ branes, parallel with the orientifold planes or their ${\bf Z_2}$ images. The Pati-Salam gauge symmetry can be broken down to the $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_{B-L} \times U(1)_{I_{3R}}$ via D6-brane splittings, and further down to the Standard Model via D- and F-flatness preserving Higgs mechanism from massless open string states in a N=2 subsector. The models also possess at least two confining hidden gauge sectors, where gaugino condensation can in turn trigger supersymmetry breaking and (some) moduli stabilization. The systematic search yields 11 inequivalent models: 8 models with less than 9 Standard model Higgs doublet-pairs and 1 model with only 2 Standard Model Higgs doublet-pairs, 2 models possess at the string scale the gauge coupling unification of $SU(2)_L$ and $SU(2)_R$, and all the models possess additional exotic matters. We also make preliminary comments on phenomenological implications of these models.

description: In recent years, research has often focused on single areas of society in which trust is emerging. But the preconditions and consequences of trust in complex education systems have not yet been extensively considered. Based on a systematic literature review of 183 articles, this paper aims to provide insights into recent research on trust in different domains of education. Drawing on these findings, the paper introduces a comprehensive model of trust. It discusses what governance approaches and tools are associated with trust, what trends in generalised trust are found, and how they are linked with education. Moreover, the paper identifies context factors that influence the creation and maintenance of trust in different domains, as well as approaches used to measure and analyse trust in multi‐level (education) systems. Through the substantial synthesis of recent findings, the paper opens up perspectives for theoretically driven, interdisciplinary comparative research that may in the future shed light on the role of trust in education systems.

description: Expansion of the glutamine tract (poly-Q) in the protein huntingtin (HTT) causes the neurodegenerative disorder Huntington’s disease (HD). Emerging evidence suggests that mutant HTT (mHTT) disrupts brain development. To gain mechanistic insights into the neurodevelopmental impact of human mHTT, we engineered male induced pluripotent stem cells to introduce a biallelic or monoallelic mutant 70Q expansion or to remove the poly-Q tract of HTT. The introduction of a 70Q mutation caused aberrant development of cerebral organoids with loss of neural progenitor organization. The early neurodevelopmental signature of mHTT highlighted the dysregulation of the protein coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2), a transcription factor involved in mitochondrial integrated stress response. CHCHD2 repression was associated with abnormal mitochondrial morpho-dynamics that was reverted upon overexpression of CHCHD2. Removing the poly-Q tract from HTT normalized CHCHD2 levels and corrected key mitochondrial defects. Hence, mHTT-mediated disruption of human neurodevelopment is paralleled by aberrant neurometabolic programming mediated by dysregulation of CHCHD2, which could then serve as an early interventional target for HD.

description: We prove that a planar graph is generically rigid in the plane if and only if it can be embedded as a pseudo-triangulation. This generalizes the main result of math.CO/0307347 which treats the minimally generically rigid case. The proof uses the concept of combinatorial pseudo-triangulation, CPT, in the plane and has two main steps: showing that a certain ``generalized Laman property'' is a necessary and sufficient condition for a CPT to be ``stretchable'', and showing that all generically rigid plane graphs admit a CPT assignment with that property. Additionally, we propose the study of combinatorial pseudo-triangulations on closed surfaces.

Penthetria ardens teitensis van Someren, 1921c: 122 (Bura Hills).
Now Euplectes ardens ardens (Boddaert, 1783). See van Someren 1922a: 151; Hartert, 1928: 194; Chapin, 1954b: 443–448; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 73; Craig, 1993b: 141–143; Zimmerman et al., 1999: 547–548; Dickinson, 2003: 726; Fry and Keith, 2004: 239–242; and Craig, 2010: 144–145.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 727143, adult male, collected in the Bura Hills, 03.19S, 38.20E (Polhill, 1988), Tieta, Kenya, on 21 March 1919. From the V.G.L. van Someren Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren designated as type of teitensis a specimen in the Rothschild Collection with the above data, and only one such specimen came to AMNH. He gave the range as ‘‘East of Kilimanjaro and Teita, Bura Hills,’’ but did not elaborate further on this except to say that specimens in the Rothschild Collection supported his character of narrower tail feathers (van Someren, 1922a: 151). I am unable to decide whether any paratypes are now in AMNH; perhaps AMNH 727144 and AMNH 727145, collected in March 1896, from Morogoro (= Mrogoro), 06.49S, 37.40E (Polhill, 1988), Tanzania, are specimens that he had in mind. There are two paratypes in RMCA (Louette et al., 2002: 77).

A robust solver for elliptic PDEs in 3D complex geometries

description: We develop a boundary integral equation solver for elliptic partial differential equations on complex \threed geometries. Our method is efficient, high-order accurate and robustly handles complex geometries. A key component is our singular and near-singular layer potential evaluation scheme, \qbkix: a simple extrapolation of the solution along a line to the boundary. We present a series of geometry-processing algorithms required for \qbkix to run efficiently with accuracy guarantees on arbitrary geometries and an adaptive upsampling scheme based on a iteration-free heuristic for quadrature error. We validate the accuracy and performance with a series of numerical tests and compare our approach to a competing local evaluation method.
LAND GRABBING IN EUROPE?

description: Even though in Europe agriculture plays a decreasing economic role for rural livelihoods, the increases in land transactions by non-local and/or non-agricultural investors pervades rural life. Farms become larger and agricultural land more expensive. We conducted an empirical study in Saxony-Anhalt in 2016 to find out about the relationship between agriculture and rural people. Moreover, we analyzed literature about land grabbing in developed industrialized countries. There is evidence, that processes of land grabbing are taking place, yet land grabbing needs to be newly defined in a westernized developed context. Therefore, we propose six socio-cultural criteria: legal irregularities, non-residence of new owners, centralization in decision-making structures, treating land as an investment object, concentration of decision-power and limited access to land markets.

description: We determine the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of binary neutron stars (BNSs) by performing dynamical simulations in full general relativity. Evolving quasiequilibrium (QE) binaries that begin at different separations, we bracket the location of the ISCO by distinguishing stable circular orbits from unstable plunges. We study Gamma=2 polytropes of varying compactions in both corotational and irrotational equal-mass binaries. For corotatonal binaries we find an ISCO orbital angular frequency somewhat smaller than that determined by applying turning-point methods to QE initial data. For the irrotational binaries the initial data sequences terminate before reaching a turning point, but we find that the ISCO frequency is reached prior to the termination point. Our findings suggest that the ISCO frequency varies with compaction but does not depend strongly on the stellar spin. Since the observed gravitational wave signal undergoes a transition from a nearly periodic ``chirp'' to a burst at roughly twice the ISCO frequency, the measurement of its value by laser interferometers (e.g LIGO) will be important for determining some of the physical properites of the underlying stars
