description: We investigate single ions of $^{40}Ca^+$ in Paul traps for quantum information processing. Superpositions of the S$_{1/2}$ electronic ground state and the metastable D$_{5/2}$ state are used to implement a qubit. Laser light on the S$_{1/2} \leftrightarrow$ D$_{5/2}$ transition is used for the manipulation of the ion's quantum state. We apply sideband cooling to the ion and reach the ground state of vibration with up to 99.9% probability. Starting from this Fock state $|n=0>$, we demonstrate coherent quantum state manipulation. A large number of Rabi oscillations and a ms-coherence time is observed. Motional heating is measured to be as low as one vibrational quantum in 190 ms. We also report on ground state cooling of two ions.

description: In this paper we develop and implement anisotropic radial basis function methods for simulating the dynamics of ice sheets and glaciers. We test the methods on two problems: the well-known benchmark ISMIP-HOM B that corresponds to a glacier size ice and a synthetic ice sheet whose geometry is inspired by the EISMINT benchmark that corresponds to a continental size ice sheet. We illustrate the advantages of the radial basis function methods over a standard finite element method. We also show how the use of anisotropic radial basis functions allows for accurate simulation of the velocities on a large ice sheet, which was not possible with standard isotropic radial basis function methods due to a large aspect ratio between the ice length and the ice thickness. Additionally, we implement a partition of unity method in order to improve the computational efficiency of the radial basis function methods.

description: Using photometry from the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) and photometry and spectroscopy from three ground-based optical datasets we have analyzed the stellar content of OB associations and field areas in and around the regions N 79, N 81, N 83, and N 94 in the LMC. We compare data for the OB association Lucke-Hodge 2 (LH 2) to determine how strongly the initial mass function (IMF) may depend on different photometric reductions and calibrations. We also correct for the background contribution of field stars, showing the importance of correcting for field star contamination in determinations of the IMF of star formation regions. It is possible that even in the case of an universal IMF, the variability of the density of background stars could be the dominant factor creating the differences between calculated IMFs for OB associations. We have also combined the UIT data with the Magellanic Cloud Photometric Survey to study the distribution of the candidate O-type stars in the field. We find a significant fraction, roughly half, of the candidate O-type stars are found in field regions, far from any obvious OB associations. These stars are greater than 2 arcmin (30 pc) from the boundaries of existing OB associations in the region, which is a distance greater than most O-type stars with typical dispersion velocities will travel in their lifetimes. The origin of these massive field stars (either as runaways, members of low-density star-forming regions, or examples of isolated massive star formation) will have to be determined by further observations and analysis.

description: We consider random walks on the mapping class group that have finite first moment with respect to the word metric, whose support generates a non-elementary subgroup and contains a pseudo-Anosov map whose invariant Teichmuller geodesic is in the principal stratum of quadratic differentials. We show that a Teichmuller geodesic typical with respect to the harmonic measure for such random walks, is recurrent to the thick part of the principal stratum. As a consequence, the vertical and horizontal foliations of such a random Teichmuller geodesic have no saddle connections.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Abundances of Atlantic salmon in rivers along the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia and around the Bay of Fundy, Canada, have declined precipitously during the last two decades. Equilibrium analyses were carried out on four populations in this region in order to evaluate the relationship between threats to these populations, their recovery potential, and the expected population response to recovery actions. Equilibrium models split the life cycle of a species into two or more parts and determine the population size at which the rates in each part of the life cycle are balanced such that the population does not increase or decrease in size. By varying the life history parameters in a way that represents the expected response to a human activity and examining the resulting change in equilibrium population size, the effects of the activity on the population can be evaluated. This approach places the expected population response to alleviating a threat in the context of other threats to the population. The threats and stressors discussed in each case study are representative of those affecting salmon population viability in Bay of Fundy and Nova Scotia Atlantic Coast Rivers: acidification, hydroelectric development, low freshwater habitat productivity, and low at-sea survival. The case studies illustrate the need for population-specific information for recovery planning and show that where multiple threats exist to a population, multiple actions are likely required to bring about recovery of that population.

In this paper, the values $T(G)$ and $S(G)$ are explicitly calculated for the groups $G= Γ\wr S_N$, where $Γ$ is a finite subgroup of $Sp(2,\mathbb C)$.

description: This paper describes the problems of rural development in Indonesia. Problems can be broken down and find away out through the development of ecotourism in rural area. Furthermore, this also accelerates the economic transformation from agriculture to manufacturing and services, improves welfare to farmer and promotes an environmental conservation in rural areas. Meanwhile, there is a significant increase in the demand for tourism visits come from foreign and domestic tourists. This needs to be anticipated by all stakeholders in the all regions. This can be conducted through the following efforts, i. e. (i) to develop products with an emphasis on education, (ii) to develop entrepreneurship in managing tourism services, (iii) to strengthen leadership for guiding a conservation vision, (iv) to develop infrastructure with regard to the carrying capacityof the environment, (v) to develop homestay as a place of learning development for products and services, and services standards, (v) to promote rural tourism and environmental values elsewhere

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The use of mark-recapture methods dates back to the 17 century. “Attaching tags to fish, or marking them by mutilating some part of the body, was first done to trace their wanderings and migrations. Toward the close of the last century, C.G.J. Petersen (1986, etc.) began the practice of using marked fish to compute, first, rate of exploitation, and, secondly, total population, of fish living in an enclosed body of water. The principle of this method was discovered by John Graunt and used in his “Observations on the London Bills of Mortality”, first published in 1662 - a work that marks the starting point of demographic statistics (E.S. Pearson personal communication). Children born during a year were the “marked” individuals, and the ratio of births to population was ascertained from a sample. About 10 years after Petersen’s first work, Knut Dahl employed the same procedure to estimate trout populations in Norwegian tarns. Applications to ocean fishes started toward the end of the first decade of the [20th] century. Sample censusing of wild birds and mammals began rather belatedly with Lincoln’s (1930) estimate of ducks from band returns while Jackson (1933) introduced the method to entomology.”

By means of a conformal transformation we rewrite the model as an $O(n)$ model on a random lattice with a non polynomial potential. This allows us to solve the model exactly. We investigate the critical properties of the plaquette model and find that for $n\in]-2,2]$ the model belongs to the same universality class as the $O(n)$ model on a random lattice.

description: We present the photometry and theoretical models for a Galactic bulge microlensing event OGLE-2000-BUL-43. The event is very bright with I=13.54 mag, and has a very long time scale, t_E=156 days. The long time scale and its light curve deviation from the standard shape strongly suggest that it may be affected by the parallax effect. We show that OGLE-2000-BUL-43 is the first discovered microlensing event, in which the parallax distortion is observed over a period of 2 years. Difference Image Analysis (DIA) using the PSF matching algorithm of Alard & Lupton enabled photometry accurate to 0.5%. All photometry obtained with DIA is available electronically. Our analysis indicates that the viewing condition from a location near Jupiter will be optimal and can lead to magnifications ~ 50 around January 31, 2001. These features offer a great promise for resolving the source (a K giant) and breaking the degeneracy between the lens parameters including the mass of the lens, if the event is observed with the imaging camera on the Cassini space probe.

description: Quantitative image analysis often depends on accurate classification of pixels through a segmentation process. However, imaging artifacts such as the partial volume effect and sensor noise complicate the classification process. These effects increase the pixel intensity variance of each constituent class, causing intensities from one class to overlap with another. This increased variance makes threshold based segmentation methods insufficient due to ambiguous overlap regions in the pixel intensity distributions. The class ambiguity becomes even more complex for systems with more than two constituents, such as unsaturated moist granular media. In this paper, we propose an image processing workflow that improves segmentation accuracy for multiphase systems. First, the ambiguous transition regions between classes are identified and removed, which allows for global thresholding of single-class regions. Then the transition regions are classified using a distance function, and finally both segmentations are combined into one classified image. This workflow includes three methodologies for identifying transition pixels and we demonstrate on a variety of synthetic images that these approaches are able to accurately separate the ambiguous transition pixels from the single-class regions. For situations with typical amounts of image noise, misclassification errors and area differences calculated between each class of the synthetic images and the resultant segmented images range from 0.69-1.48% and 0.01-0.74%, respectively, showing the segmentation accuracy of this approach. We demonstrate that we are able to accurately segment x-ray microtomography images of moist granular media using these computationally efficient methodologies.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fisheries policy is confronted with new challenges, such as an increased involvement of stakeholders and the integration of several levels of policy making. To understand new ways of stakeholder participation and processes of multi-level policymaking we introduce in this paper a governance framework. Governance refers to the sharing of policy making competencies in a system of negotiation between nested governance at several tiers (supranational, national, regional and local) on the one hand and state actors, market parties and civil society organizations on the other. Governance emphasizes both processes of policy making (policy), the institutional setting in which policymaking takes place (polity) and the activities and decisions of politicians, policy makers and other involved actors (politics). New institutional arrangements have emerged in the advisory and management process in fisheries policy. Examples of innovative governance arrangements are: comanagement systems, Rights Based Management, Regional Advisory Councils and Marine Protected Areas. In general, these initiatives show increased involvement of stakeholders, the sharing of power, management and decision-making responsibilities. Changes in the institutional setting of fisheries policies, the co-existence of traditional and innovative forms of stakeholder involvement and the institutionalization of new fisheries governance arrangements will affect issues of legitimacy and accountability. The second part of the paper will focus on issues of legitimacy and accountability in fisheries governance. In general, legitimacy refers to whether people accept the rules of the political system, the reflection of the interests of participants in the formulation of policy (input legitimacy) or the capacity of political systems to resolve problems (output legitimacy). In political science the traditional dilemma between input and output legitimacy is how to increase, for example, the effectiveness of policy without limiting participation and popular consent, by increasing the transparency and accountability of procedures (throughput legitimacy). Accountability refers to the relationship between an actor and a forum, in which the actor has an obligation to explain and justify his or her conduct, the forum can pose questions and pass judgment, and the actor may face consequences.

In 2005 and 2006, we deployed a total of 41 pop-up archival tags (PSATS) on ABFT, with a median estimated weight of 250 kg, off southwest Nova Scotia. The majority of fish were caught and released in two locations: inshore off Riverport, NS (36 fish) and the northern edge of George's Bank, east of the Hague line (2 fish). Three fish were also tagged and released from a longline vessel south of George's Bank, west of the Hague line. Thirty-two tracks 1 - 11 months in duration were recovered

description: Propagation of charged particle beams in background plasma as a method of space charge neutralization has been shown to achieve a high degree of charge and current neutralization and therefore enables nearly ballistic propagation and focusing of charged particle beams. Correspondingly, use of plasmas for propagation of charged particle beams has important applications for transport and focusing of intense particle beams in inertial fusion and high energy density laboratory plasma physics. However, the streaming of beam ions through a background plasma can lead to development of the two-stream instability between the beam ions and the plasma electrons. The beam electric and magnetic fields enhanced by the two-stream instability can lead to defocusing of the ion beam. Using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we study the scaling of the instability-driven self-electromagnetic fields and consequent defocusing forces with the background plasma density and beam ion mass. We identify plasma parameters where the defocusing forces can be reduced.

description: The Dicke-Ising model describes cavity quantum electrodynamics setups in which dipoles couple not only with the photonic cavity field but also to each other through dipole-dipole interaction. In this work we diagonalise such a model in terms of bosonic polaritonic operators for arbitrarily large values of the light-matter coupling and for values of the dipole-dipole interaction until the onset of the ferromagnetic Ising phase transition. In order to accomplish this task we exploit higher order terms of the Holstein-Primakoff transformation, developing a general method which allows to solve the normal phase of the Ising model in term of bosonic excitations for large values of the dipole-dipole interaction. Our results shed light on the interplay between the dipole-dipole and the light-matter coupling strengths, and their effect on the virtual excitations which populate the ground-state when the interactions become comparable with the bare transition frequency.

description: Mental disorders have become a significant cause of disability in developed countries, resulting in substantial economic burdens and straining the public health system. However, self-reported questionnaires used in clinical practice have limitations due to memory bias and subjectivity, leading to potential misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment. To overcome these challenges, incorporating physiological biomarkers using non-invasive sensors can provide a more accurate characterisation of the individual’s well-being. Biomarkers such as heart rate variability or those extracted from the electrodermal activity spectral analysis are broadly used to study the stress response and are taken as indices of autonomic nervous system functioning. These biomarkers offer valuable insights, providing objective physiological indicators of stress reactivity and contributing to a better understanding of mental distress and well-being. This ongoing observational cross-sectional study is aimed to enroll 60 young participants in three groups: (1) high mental well-being; (2) mild to moderate psychological distress; and (3) mental disorder. The assessment will consist of collecting mental health self-reported measures and electrophysiological data during a baseline state, the Stroop test as a stress-inducing stage, and a final recovery period. The assessment tool will be developed using psychometric tests assessing well-being, anxiety and depression as the reference. Principal component analysis and multiple regression models will be performed. Test-retest reliability, known group validity and predictive validity will be assessed.

description: Excerpts from the Preface: "Enhancing Opportunities for Small Farmers and Ranchers," summarizes the main goal of the 4th National Small Farm Conference. To enhance economic opportunities and the quality of life for small farmers and ranchers, our role as professionals is to facilitate programs and services by providing financial and technical assistance and ensure that research is conducted for successful development of alternative enterprises or creating new crops and special niches. Bringing together approximately 750 professionals from throughout the nation encourages dialogue and the exchange of ideas that will trickle down to small farmers and ranchers. This conference provided a forum for the development of strategies to maximize existing resources for the prosperity of small farmers and ranchers; enhance the ability of producers to maximize marketing opportunities; provide an effective and adequate income safety net for small farmers and ranchers; develop and strengthen programs to meet small farm specific needs; enhance the development and use of risk management tools; provide support for agricultural research, education, and outreach; and promote programs designed to maximize results and emphasize measurable outcomes. The conference focused on the following six tracks: 1) alternative enterprises, (2) marketing strategies, (3) risk management, (4) bridging gaps in programs and services, (5) organic agriculture, and (6) professional/program development

description: Thermodynamic properties of a class of black $p$-branes in $D$-dimensions considered by Duff and Lu are investigated semi-classically. For black $(d-1)$-brane, thermodynamic quantities depend on $D$ and $d$ only through the combination $\tilde d \equiv D-d-2$. The behavior of the Hawking temperature and the lifetime vary with $\tilde d$, with a critical value $\tilde d=2$. For $\tilde d>2$, there remains a remnant, in which non-zero entropy is stored. Implications of the fact that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the black $(d-1)$-brane depend only on $\tilde d=D-d-2$ is discussed from the point of view of duality.

description: We consider the polyhedral properties of two spanning tree problems with additional constraints. In the first problem, it is required to find a tree with a minimum sum of edge weights among all spanning trees with the number of leaves less or equal a given value. In the second problem, an additional constraint is the assumption that the degree of all vertices of the spanning tree does not exceed a given value. The decision versions of both problems are NP-complete. We consider the polytopes of these problems and their 1-skeletons. We prove that in both cases it is a NP-complete problem to determine whether the vertices of 1-skeleton are adjacent. Although it is possible to obtain a superpolynomial lower bounds on the clique numbers of these graphs. These values characterize the time complexity in a broad class of algorithms based on linear comparisons. The results indicate a fundamental difference in combinatorial and geometric properties between the considered problems and the classical minimum spanning tree problem.

description: Temporal drift of sensory data is a severe problem impacting the data quality of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). With the proliferation of large-scale and long-term WSNs, it is becoming more important to calibrate sensors when the ground truth is unavailable. This problem is called "blind calibration". In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning method named projection-recovery network (PRNet) to blindly calibrate sensor measurements online. The PRNet first projects the drifted data to a feature space, and uses a powerful deep convolutional neural network to recover the estimated drift-free measurements. We deploy a 24-sensor testbed and provide comprehensive empirical evidence showing that the proposed method significantly improves the sensing accuracy and drifted sensor detection. Compared with previous methods, PRNet can calibrate 2x of drifted sensors at the recovery rate of 80% under the same level of accuracy requirement. We also provide helpful insights for designing deep neural networks for sensor calibration. We hope our proposed simple and effective approach will serve as a solid baseline in blind drift calibration of sensor networks.

description: We study three-point functions of operators on the $1/2$ BPS Wilson loop in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. The operators we consider are "defect changing operators", which change the scalar coupled to the Wilson loop. We first perform the computation at two loops in general set-ups, and then study a special scaling limit called the ladders limit, in which the spectrum is known to be described by a quantum mechanics with the SL(2,$\mathbb{R}$) symmetry. In this limit, we resum the Feynman diagrams using the Schwinger-Dyson equation and determine the structure constants at all order in the rescaled coupling constant. Besides providing an interesting solvable example of defect conformal field theories, our result gives invaluable data for the integrability-based approach to the structure constants.

description: A large amount of pharmaceuticals are flushed to environment via sewage system. The compounds are persistent in environment and are very difficult to remove in drinking water treatment processes. Degradation of fluoxetine (FLU) and fluvoxamine (FLX) by ferrate(VI) were investigated. For the 10 mg/L of FLU and FLX, 35% and 50% of the compounds were degraded in the presence of 50 mg/L FeO42− within 10 minutes, respectively. After 10 minutes of the reaction, degradation of FLU and FLX is affected by formation of by-products which were likely more reactive with ferrate and competed in the reaction with FeO42−. In the case of FLU, the identified degradation by-products were hydrofluoxetine, N-methyl-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-amine, 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol and 1-{[(1R,S)-1-Phenyl-2-propen-1-yl]oxy}-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene. In the case of FLX, the degradation by-products were fluvoxamine acid and 5-methoxy-1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]pent-2-en-1-imine. The results of the ecotoxicological study based on protozoa Spirostomum ambiguum have shown that 50 mg/L FeO42− reduced toxicity of 10 mg/L of FLU and FLX by around 50%. However, in the case of FLX, the results of the ecotoxicological study suggested formation of slightly more toxic compound(s) than FLX during reaction with FeO42−. Application of ferrate(VI) is a viable option for drinking water treatment process; however, caution is needed due to formation of by-products with unknown human health risk.

description: Using Boltzmann Vlasov kinetic model with the flat-top non-Maxwellian distributed electrons and ions, a velocity power law energetic tail, known as the generalized r, q distribution, a current-less electrostatic instability namely ion acoustic which is driven by a stream of solar wind plasma is studied here. The instability threshold is affected and depends upon the spectral indices r and q. It is found that the growth rate increases with the decrease of spectral index. Moreover, such kinetic instability has also been discussed for a three species electron-ion-dust plasma using the generalized r, q distribution function. Such case is of interest when the solar wind is streaming through the cometary plasma in the presence of interstellar dust and excites electrostatic instabilities. In the limits of phase velocity of the waves larger and smaller than the thermal velocity of dust particles, the dispersion properties and growth rate of dust-acoustic mode are calculated analytically and has been plotted for different values of the spectral indices.

description: We present first results from SPICES, the Spectroscopic, Photometric, Infrared-Chosen Extragalactic Survey. SPICES is comprised of four ~30 square arcminute high Galactic latitude fields with deep BRIzJK imaging reaching depths of ~25th magnitude (AB) in the optical and ~23rd magnitude (AB) in the near-infrared. To date we have 626 spectroscopic redshifts for infrared-selected SPICES sources with K<20 (Vega). The project is poised to address galaxy formation and evolution to redshift z~2. We discuss initial results from the survey, including the surface density of extremely red objects and the fraction of infrared sources at z>1. One of the SPICES fields has been the target of a deep 190 ksec Chandra exposure; we discuss initial results from analysis of that data set. Finally, we briefly discuss a successful campaign to identify high-redshift sources in the SPICES fields.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Changes in environmental conditions resulting in different distribution and timing of migration between overwintering, spawning and feeding grounds can significantly alter the growth dynamic of cod. Modifications of the annual migration cycle leading to variations in temperature, food abundance and availability will inevitably influence the seasonal pattern of energy allocation and/or reallocation to soma, liver fat and gonad development. Possible consequences of these changes on the growth of cod were evaluated by measuring the effects of temperature and food ration on the seasonal dynamics of growth, energy storage and reproduction. Three laboratory experiments of 10 weeks duration each, were conducted at different times of the year corresponding to different periods of the maturation cycle. Each experiment was realized at two temperatures and three food rations. Significant differences in food consumption, food conversion efficiency and growth in length and mass between and within experiments indicated a different response of cod to temperature and food ration depending on the time of the year. Growth was positively correlated with temperature and food ration but both factors had less marked effects during the reproductive period. Higher food conversion efficiency during the experiment corresponding to the initiation of maturation indicate that an early autumn migration to overwintering grounds may have a major impact on accumulated energy reserves necessary for maintenance during winter and spawning. Environmental influence on migration behaviour may thus have important implications for population dynamic of cod in the Northern Gulf of St. Lawrence.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Northern gannets are long-lived migratory seabirds. Individual migratory schedules and wintering areas were studied over two consecutive winters by deploying geolocation data loggers on breeding adults from the Bass Rock, UK. Recapture rates of the devices after one year were 87 and 81 %, respectively. Some gannets stayed in winter in the North Sea but most birds travelled to areas further south, with a hotspot off West Africa (see Fig. 1 for one example). A few birds moved into the Mediterranean Sea. Direct distances between Bass Rock and the core winter area ranged from 170 to 4552 km (winter means: 2154 km and 2897 km). Gannets followed quite closely the continental shelf while migrating. Birds attended the colony until between 24 September and 13 October (median: 4-5 October). Birds wintering off West Africa migrated to their winter areas mostly within 3-5 weeks starting usually between early and late October. Return migration was initiated between end of January and mid-February and took equally long as autumn migration. Individual winter home ranges (75% fixed kernel density) varied between 31,000 and 297,000 km², with an overall mean of 134,000 km². High proportions of gannets stayed in areas where demersal fisheries produce high rates of discards. The winter areas overlapped with areas of high pelagic fish catches, too. Further investigations should elucidate the advantages and disadvantages for gannets to stay close to their breeding site (i.e. in the North Sea) or to undertake migratory movements to distant wintering areas. This includes identification of winter diets and possible dependency on fishery discards in winter.

description: Using the BF version of pure Yang-Mills, it is possible to find a covariant representation of the 't Hooft magnetic flux operator. In this framework, 't Hooft's pioneering work on confinement finds an explicit realization in the continuum. Employing the Abelian projection gauge we compute the expectation value of the magnetic variable and find the expected perimeter law. We also check the area law behaviour for the Wilson loop average and compute the string tension which turns out to be of the right order of magnitude.
