description: Barbados imports a considerable volume of canned and dried peas and beans. In keeping with the import substitution thrust of the Barbados diversification programme, CARDI is investigating the possibility of substituting locally produced pigeon peas for some of this imported product. The major constraints to the development of large scale pigeon pea production are harvesting and shelling of pods which are costly, labour intensive operations. The growth habit of the newer dwarf varieties like lCPl Z89, UWI 17, and UWI 10 lend themselves to mechanization. The results of investigations into the development of mechanized green pea and dry pea production systems are described. Mechanized planting has been successfully accomplished using a Stanhay seed drill, while efforts at mechanical harvesting and threshing of dry peas have been only partially successful.

description: Small farmers in the Eastern Caribbean generally rely on a sequence of manual operations for weed control. Gramoxone is the most commonly used weedkiller, but its use may be limited to land preparation, especially in food crop systems, and in tree crop systems. The labour-intensive nature of the existing systems may lead to delays in weed control, where other farm activities have a prior demand on labour. Changes to the components of weed control systems should recognise the holistic nature of the farm system. Changes should not unduly increase cash costs, unless additional income can be generated, not displace labour that cannot be gainfully employed elsewhere (on the farm), nor adversely affect food supplies and food security. ----- Pequerios agricultores de la region Este del Caribe, generalmente siguen y dependen de una serie de operaciones manuales, para cI control de las hierbas. EI herbicida de mas uso es el Grarnoxone, pero su uso puede que se limite a la preparacidn del terre no a cultivar, especialmente en los sistemas de cultivos alimenticios y de frutales, La naturaleza de la labor intensiva de los sistemas presentes, puede ocasionar retrazos en el control de las hierbas, especialmente, cuando otras labores de finca requieran prioridad, Los carnbios en los cornponentes del sistema del control de hierbas deben hacerse, reconociendo Ia naturaleza total de los sistemas de la finca, Los cam bios ha efectuarse 0 ya efectuados no deben incrementar indebidamente los gastos monetarios, a no ser que se pueda generar renta adicional, tarnpoco deben desplazar a los trabajadores a no ser de un trabajo a otro en la misma finca, y ni tampoco deben tener un efecto adverso en el suministro ni en la garantia de obtencidn de los alimentos.

description: Trinidad and Tobago depended heavily on imported food crops over the past decade due to the availability of foreign reserves generated by oil revenue. However, the international glut brought about an unexpected downturn in the economy of the country. Under these circumstances a critical analysis of the problems and prospects of the local food production system is of utmost importance. Over the past two years an abundance of vegetable crops has been produced locally causing an apparent over-production problem. Nevertheless, the major problems facing vegetable production in Trinidad and Tobago at present include: Land tenure, Irrigation, Wet season production, Financing, Standard varieties, Pest and diseases control, Post-harvest (transportation, storage), Marketing, Processing and Export. These problems and their prospects are discussed and possible solutions are suggested. ----- Durante los ultimos diez alios, Trinidad & Tobago dependio' rnayorrnente de las importaciones de productos alimenticios y esto fue debido a las reservas de divisas creadas por la produccion del petroleo. Sin embargo la "saturacidn" internacional del mismo, ocasion6 un desbalance en la economia del pais. Debido a estas circunstancias, un analisis critico de los problemas y del sistema de las prespectivas de la producci6n local de cultivos alimenticios, es de gran importancia. En los dltimos dos aitos la producci6n local sobreproducclon. Ahora sin embargo, los mayores problemas aparcnte de que se enfrenta la producci6n de hortalizas en Trinidad & Tobago son: tenencia de tierras, irrigacion, producci6n durante la estaci6n de lluvias, financiamineto, variedades fijas, control de plagas y de enferrnedades, post-cosecha (transporte, almacenamiento) mercadeo, procesamiento y exportaci6n. En este estudio, discutimos estos problemas y sus prespectivas y sugerimos soluciones posibles a los mismos.
Superaccurate Camera Calibration via Inverse Rendering

description: The most prevalent routine for camera calibration is based on the detection of well-defined feature points on a purpose-made calibration artifact. These could be checkerboard saddle points, circles, rings or triangles, often printed on a planar structure. The feature points are first detected and then used in a nonlinear optimization to estimate the internal camera parameters.We propose a new method for camera calibration using the principle of inverse rendering. Instead of relying solely on detected feature points, we use an estimate of the internal parameters and the pose of the calibration object to implicitly render a non-photorealistic equivalent of the optical features. This enables us to compute pixel-wise differences in the image domain without interpolation artifacts. We can then improve our estimate of the internal parameters by minimizing pixel-wise least-squares differences. In this way, our model optimizes a meaningful metric in the image space assuming normally distributed noise characteristic for camera sensors.We demonstrate using synthetic and real camera images that our method improves the accuracy of estimated camera parameters as compared with current state-of-the-art calibration routines. Our method also estimates these parameters more robustly in the presence of noise and in situations where the number of calibration images is limited.

description: We explicitly construct and study an isometry between the spaces of square integrable functionals of an arbitrary Levy process and a vector-valued Gaussian white noise. In particular, we obtain explicit formulas for this isometry at the level of multiplicative functionals and at the level of orthogonal decompositions, as well as find its kernel. We consider in detail the central special case: the isometry between the $L^2$ spaces over a Poisson process and the corresponding white noise. The key role in our considerations is played by the notion of measure and Hilbert factorizations and related notions of multiplicative and additive functionals and logarithm. The obtained results allow us to introduce a canonical Fock structure (an analogue of the Wiener--Ito decomposition) in the $L^2$ space over an arbitrary Levy process. An application to the representation theory of current groups is considered. An example of a non-Fock factorization is given.

description: The Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI), through the USAID funded Farming Systems Research and Development Project, is currently evaluating a model Backyard Production System, designed to 1mprove the nutrition of rural small farm households in Dominica. The model, which consists of the farm household, livestock pens, feed plot, fenced vegetable plots, seedling nursery and compost heap, provided vegetables and eggs to the household at low cost. Data for 10 months show that additional vegetable consumption was 17.5kg, 62.kg and 14.2kg on Farms 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Egg consumption per month Increased from 0 to 7.3, 31.6 and 36.0 and value of production was EC$617.20, $240.44 and $309.20 on Farms 1,2 and 3 respectively. Establishment costs were EC$716.12, $350.12 and $647.25 whereas monthly operating costs were EC$I41.25, $9.91 and $28.92 for Farmers 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Meat production and consumption were neglible.

description: Abstract: From 1958 to 1978 a bog research station was operated in the raised bogs near Lake Chiemsee in southern Bavaria (Bernau, Chiemseemoore). The station recorded daily data of the precipitation, evaporation and evapotranspiration (full program see SCHMEIDL et al. 1970). In this time, computing power was not sufficient to handle such large data volumes, so only aggregated data were published. The original data (12 files) were analyzed and plotted. The hydrologic balance model was adopted to the acrotelm. The waterlevel in the Sphagnum growing complex and the surface runoff of the saturated acrotelm was modelled with the original daily values of 10 growing periods. Model results indicate, that in 2575 modelled days only 93 days and 12 periods, only one period lasting longer than 5 days, with a critical water table (-20 cm) occurred (1958 to 1968). The model results were validated with runoff measurements. The vegetation development from 1961 to 2015 confirms the stability of the growing complex and the regeneration potential within the climatic borders. (1400 mm/a). The results allow a better understanding of the capillary system of the acrotelm and of the regeneration success of raised bogs.
description: Zusammenfassung: In der Moorversuchsanstalt Bernau (Chiemseemoore) wurden von 1958 bis 1972 unter anderem Tageswerte von Niederschlag und Verdunstung aufgezeichnet. Mit der damaligen Rechnerkapazität konnten die Daten nur aggregiert ausgewertet werden. In dieser Arbeit werden aus den von uns geplotteten Originaldaten Moorwasserstände und Oberflächenabfluss berechnet und Trockenperioden identifiziert. Bei Annahme eines kritischen Wasserstandes von -20 cm im Akrotelm ergab die Modellierung von 2575 Tagen in 10 Vegetationsperioden 93 kritische Tage und 12 kritische Perioden, davon nur eine länger als 5 Tage. Zusammen mit einer Darstellung der Vegetationsentwicklung werden Schlüsse auf mögliche Erfolge für eine Hochmoorregeneration aus dem Niederschlagsgradienten gezogen.

description: In der Arbeit wird über vierjährige Untersuchungen und ihre Ergebnisse zur Geomorphologie, Geologie, Hydrogeologie, Hydrologie, Botanik, Tierwelt und Nutzungsgeschichte des „NSG Ribnitzer Großes Moor“ berichtet. Das Moor umfaßt 4 hydrologische Moortypen: Regenmoor, Verlandungsmoor, Versumpfungsmoor und Bruchwaldmoor. Ein Konzept zur Anhebung der Wasserstände und zur Restitution wurde entwickelt und realisiert. In der Umgebung des Moores gibt es einige See- und Heilbäder. So schienen zwei Formen der Nutzung, Naturschutz und Tourismus zu konkurrieren. Eine konsensfähige Lösung zwischen beiden Nutzungen wurde gefunden. Eines der wichtigsten Ergebnisse der Restitution sind die deutlich gestiegenen Wasserstände des Grundwassers ebenso wie des Stauwassers im Regenmoortorf, insbesondere während des Sommers. 1996 waren die meisten Flächen im Moor trocken, während sie nun versumpft sind. In jüngster Zeit kamen etwa 12.000 Besucher jährlich in das Moor. Sie werden auf einem Naturerlebnispfad durch das Moor geführt, von wo aus sie moortypische Lebensräume besichtigen können.
description: This paper reports on the results of investigations of the geomorphyolgy, geology, hydrogeology, botany, fauna and the history of use of the nature reserve ,,Ribnitzer Großes Moor“ which were carried out over a period of 4 years. The bog area includes 4 hydrological types of bogs: raised bog, overgrowing mire, paludiﬁcation mire and swamp-forest. A plan for rewetting and restitution had been developed and realized. There are some villages and towns with seaside health resorts and spas in the vicinity of the bog. So two types of use seemed to be in competition: nature conservation and tourism. A consensus could be found between both types of use. One of the most important results of the restitution are the clearly rised level of ground water and of build-up water in the raised bog peat, especially during summer time. Most parts of the mire that were dry in 1996 are swampy now. Recently approximately 12.000 people visited the mire yearly. A nature trail leads them through the bog area where they can watch typical biotops.

description: In this study, we develop a methodology for model reduction and selection informed by global sensitivity analysis (GSA) methods. We apply these techniques to a control model that takes systolic blood pressure and thoracic tissue pressure data as inputs and predicts heart rate in response to the Valsalva maneuver (VM). The study compares four GSA methods based on Sobol' indices (SIs) quantifying the parameter influence on the difference between the model output and the heart rate data. The GSA methods include standard scalar SIs determining the average parameter influence over the time interval studied and three time-varying methods analyzing how parameter influence changes over time. The time-varying methods include a new technique, termed limited-memory SIs, predicting parameter influence using a moving window approach. Using the limited-memory SIs, we perform model reduction and selection to analyze the necessity of modeling both the aortic and carotid baroreceptor regions in response to the VM. We compare the original model to three systematically reduced models including (i) the aortic and carotid regions, (ii) the aortic region only, and (iii) the carotid region only. Model selection is done quantitatively using the Akaike and Bayesian Information Criteria and qualitatively by comparing the neurological predictions. Results show that it is necessary to incorporate both the aortic and carotid regions to model the VM.

description: Abstract: Current information on the potential distribution and condition of peatland soils are of great importance. This applies notably for actions with respect to climate and environmental protection. The Ministry of infrastructure and agriculture in the federal state of Brandenburg (MIL) therefore initiated a project to provide a complete and updated map of peatland soils for the federal state of Brandenburg, Germany, for the year 2013. Extensive legacy data on both, areal extent of peatland soils as well as soil profile information where made digitally available in a homogeneous map and a consistent database. Approximately 7.725 sites were randomly selected from legacy soil data and currently reinvestigated to draw inference on the current condition of peatland soils. Statistically derived peatland subsidence rates at grassland sites of 0.50 cm/yr and 0.57 cm/yr at arable sites fit well with published values in comparable regions of central Europe. Our results prove the great dynamics of soil development on agriculturally used peatlands. Concerning Brandenburg, the area of peatland soils decreased from 270.000 ha in the early 20th century (Prussian geological map) to actually 163.000 ha.
description: Zusammenfassung: Aktuelle Informationen zur Verbreitung und zum Zustand der Moorböden sind vor dem Hintergrund der geplanten Einführung von Agrarumwelt- und Klimamaßnahmen in der Landwirtschaft von besonderer Bedeutung. Das Ministerium für Infrastruktur und Landwirtschaft des Landes Brandenburg (MIL) hat hierzu das Projekt „Schaffung einer Datengrundlage für die Ableitung von Agrarumwelt- und Klimamaßnahmen auf Moorstandorten in Brandenburg“ initiiert. Mit dem Ziel der Bereitstellung einer auf das Jahr 2013 bezogenen Moorkarte wurden umfangreiche, bis dato nicht genutzte Datenbestände zur Verbreitung von Moorböden in Brandenburg zu einer überschneidungsfreien Karte und umfassenden Datenbank moorbodenkundlicher Bodenprofile verarbeitet. Um den aktuellen Zustand der Moorböden zu erfassen, wurden flächenrepräsentativ und zufällig an 7.725 Standorten mit ausreichender Datenbasis erneut bodenkundliche Erhebungen durchgeführt und statistisch ausgewertet. Im Ergebnis konnten Mächtigkeitsverlustraten für landwirtschaftlich genutzte Moorstandorte in Brandenburg abgeleitet werden. Für flachgründige Niedermoorstandorte unter Grünland liegen sie bei 0,50 cm/a, vergleichbare ackerbaulich genutzte Standorte liegen mit 0,57 cm/a darüber. Dies deckt sich gut mit publizierten Werten an vergleichbaren Standorten in Zentraleuropa. Die Fläche der Moorböden in Brandenburg hat sich von Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts von 270.000 ha, ausgewiesen auf Basis der Preußisch geologisch-agronomische Karte (PGK), auf heute noch 163.000 ha reduziert.

description: We present the first M31 candidate microlensing events from the Microlensing Exploration of the Galaxy and Andromeda (MEGA) survey. MEGA uses several telescopes to detect microlensing towards the nearby Andromeda galaxy, M31, in order to establish whether massive compact objects are a significant contribution to the mass budget of the dark halo of M31. The results presented here are based on observations with the Isaac Newton Telescope on La Palma, during the 1999/00 and 2000/01 observing seasons. In this data set, 14 variable sources consistent with microlensing have been detected, 12 of which are new and 2 have been reported previously by the POINT-AGAPE group. A preliminary analysis of the spatial and timescale distributions of the candidate events support their microlensing nature. We compare the spatial distributions of the candidate events and of long-period variable stars, assuming the chances of finding a long-period variable and a microlensing event are comparable. The spatial distribution of our candidate microlensing events is more far/near side asymmetric than expected from the detected long-period variable distribution. The current analysis is preliminary and the asymmetry not highly significant, but the spatial distribution of candidate microlenses is suggestive of the presence of a microlensing halo.

description: Abstract: In 2015 the rare Cranberry Fritillary (Boloria aquilonaris) has been observed in a small raised bog – the Dänschenburger Moor, Mecklenburg – Western Pomerania. Consequently, further five bogs in close proximity were investigated for occurrence of this butterfly. Further populations could be found in the Gresenhorster Moor, which soon will undergo an entire revitalization from lagg, where nectar plants can be found, to the core zone, where host plants for the larvae grow. Therefore, this local population will probably survive which enables the colonization of adequate raised bogs in close proximity as they undergo an entire revitalization as well. The holistic revitalization is the crunch point otherwise, these small raised bogs enforest. Hence, the populations decrease and the recent observations remain as relict occurrences.
description: Zusammenfassung: Bei einer Moorexkursion im Jahre 2015 wurde der seltene Hochmoor-Perlmutterfalter Boloria aquilonaris im Dänschenburger Moor (Kreis Vorpommern Rügen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) gesichtet. Daraufhin wurden fünf weitere Moore der Umgebung auf Vorkommen dieses Tagfalters untersucht, doch nur im Gresenhorster Moor konnten weitere Sichtungen dokumentiert werden. Gerade dieses Moor wird in naher Zukunft wieder vom Lagg bis zur Kernzone revitalisiert. Damit dürften sich sowohl die Bestände der Moosbeeren als Fraßpflanzen für die Raupen im Kernbereich des Moores wie auch verschiedene Nektarpflanzen im Lagg des Moores langfristig positiv entwickeln und B. aquilonaris weiterhin das Überleben sichern. Davon ausgehend ist eine Besiedlung weiterer Moore der Umgebung möglich, wenn auch in diesen eine Revitalisierung stattfindet. Ohne ganzheitliche Revitalisierung bewalden nordostdeutsche Regenmoore. Infolgedessen nehmen die Subpopulationen ab. Vorkommen wie im Dänschenburger Moor existieren andernfalls nur als Rest-Vorkommen auf Zeit.

description: In 1984 an integrated programme to reintroduce white potato into the vegetable production system was initiated in Montserrat by the Ministry of Agriculture. Technology development for the crop which is CARDI's responsibility, has major objectives of increasing productivity through more efficient use of planting material and more adaptable varieties. Multilocational evaluation of eight Dutch varieties has confirmed the standard variety Desiree as the most adaptable of those tested, however, Bartina (pink) and Frisia (brown) out-performed Desiree under ideal growing conditions producing larger, more uniform tubers. Both these varieties seem to have a higher susceptibility to soil-borne diseases but are more tolerant than Desiree to early and late blights. Preliminary trials on tuber production from true potato seed (TPS) were successful and the technique of rapid stem propagation as a means of producing planting material was evaluated. The effect of employing CARDI's Farming Systems Research and Development methodology within this programme is examined. ----- EI Ministerio de Agricultura de Montserrat, en el ano 1984, inici6 un prograrna integrado para reintroducir el cultivo de la papa, en el sistema de produccion de hortalizas.

description: We study the central diffractive production of the (three neutral) Higgs bosons, with a rapidity gap on either side, in an MSSM scenario with CP-violation. We consider the bb-bar and tautau-bar decay for the light H_1 boson and the four b-jet final state for the heavy H_2 and H_3 bosons, and discuss the corresponding backgrounds. A direct indication of the existence of CP-violation can come from the observation of either an azimuthal asymmetry in the angular distribution of the tagged forward protons (for the exclusive pp -> p+H+p process) or of a sin(2phi) contribution in the azimuthal correlation between the transverse energy flows in the proton fragmentation regions for the process with the diffractive dissociation of both incoming protons (pp -> X+H+Y). We emphasise the advantage of reactions with the rapidity gaps (that is production by the pomeron-pomeron fusion) to probe CP parity and to determine the quantum numbers of the produced central object.

description: The major limitation of traditional station-based research is its failure to account for the multiplicity of socioeconomic and ecosystemic variables that determine the success or failure of the farmer. Production systems research however focuses on the farm and the farmer using station-based research to complement the farm-based work. This paper deals with the issues involved in the ex-ante analysis of the factors affecting farm profitability. These considerations result in the identification of research opportunities vis-a-vis cost of research and the definition of the domain of recommendations. TIle instruments used in this exercise are identified and briefly discussed. The ex-post analysis of the results of the research efforts using economic, evaluation criteria lead to the selection of alternatives or modified systems which may improve the farm. Some of these economic criteria are discussed. tile paper recognises the tremendous virtues of production systems research but notes the factors (political, social, economic) which influence the adoption of alternatives. ----- La mayor Iimitacidn de la investigacion tradicional-en at sede (estaci6n experimental) - es la falta de considerar la multiplicidad de variables soeio-economicas y ecosistemtiticas, las cuales determinan el €xito 0 el fracaso del agricultor.

description: In this paper we extend the umbral calculus, developed to deal with difference equations on uniform lattices, to q-difference equations. We show that many of the properties considered for shift invariant difference operators satisfying the umbral calculus can be implemented to the case of the q-difference operators. This q-umbral calculus can be used to provide solutions to linear q-difference equations and q-differential delay equations. To illustrate the method, we will apply the obtained results to the construction of symmetry solutions for the q-heat equation and to solve a linear ordinary second order q-difference equation

description: This paper explores selected theoretical tenets of innovation diffusion/adoption in the context of product technology and product marketing. The approach discusses the need to integrate the underpinnings of demand-supply diffusion strategies and ecological variation factors in technological research. The introduction of tilapia as the topic of study provides a suitable model for ex post facto examination of the process of advancing technological innovation in under-developed settings. Data collected in a recent survey of trial tilapia consumers provides some possible predictive indicators for market assessments, consumer adoption studies and posits some relative issues of strengths and weaknesses for research design considerations. In sum, consumer adoption behaviors tend to depend on adequacy of the new product to substitute for both supply and demand situational requirements plus socioecological conditons. ----- Esta' presentacion, explora reglas teoricas selectas sobre la adopcidn y difusidn innovativa en 10 que se refiere a la tecnologia y rnercadeo de productos, Se discute la necesidad de, integrar la base de la oferta y dernauda de las extrategias de difusi6n y de Los factores de variacidn ecol6gicos, en "I campo de la investigacicn technologica.

description: The National Academy of Sciences identified a large number of "underexploited" tropical food plants in the 1970s which should be more widely introduced. However, it is very difficult to obtain seed, especially if you are a development worker rather than a scientist. ECHO has developed a "working seedbank" which sends small packets of these seeds for trial at no cost to those working with small farmers as well as to the scientific community. This slide presentation will feature many of these less common plants, as well as a technique of shallow beds suitable for rooftop gardening. Our various services to those working with small farms in the tropics will be briefly described. ----- En los anos 70, la National Academy of Sciences (Academia estadounidense de ciencias) identific6 muchas plantas tropicales alimenticias "sub-explotadas" que deberian ser cultivados de manera mas amplia. Sin embargo, es muy dificil olbtener semillas, sobre todo si uno es asistente de desarrollo y no cientifico. Por eso, ECHO ha elaborado un "banco de sernillas" que envia paquetitos "prueba" gratuitos de estas semillas tanto a los que trabajan con pequeiios agricultores como a la comunidad cientif'ica. Esta presentacion de diapositivas mostrara muchas de estas plantas menos conocidas, asf como una tecnica que utiliza los sernilleros poco profundos y que conviene muy bien a la jardinerla en la azotea, Se describe brevemente los servicios que prestarnos a los que trabajan en pequeiias fincas tropicales.

description: An aging farm population, increasing demand for beef and lessening drought conditions suggest opportunities for new beef producers. However, high cow prices and land values may create barriers to entry. This paper evaluates leasing and purchasing options for both land and cows. Investment and operating cost assumptions are explained along with loan alternatives for beginning operators. Whole farm financial statements are generated and resulting net cash flow, line of credit and total debt levels are projected for five years. Leasing cows and land is found to be a viable means of entry. Only with outside income can cows be purchased; significant levels of outside income are needed to purchase land.

description: We report the results of our statistical study of the POINT-AGAPE CNe catalogue. The first Sloan $r'$ and $i'$ analysis of the MMRD relationship in M31 is performed using the resulting POINT-AGAPE CN catalogue. Good fits are produced to the MMRD in the two filters. However, we are unable to verify the $t_{15}$ relationship for either Sloan filter. The subsequent analysis of our automated CN detection pipeline has provided us with the most thorough knowledge of the completeness of a CN survey to-date. In addition, the large field of view of the survey has permitted us to probe the outburst rate well into the galactic disk, unlike previous CCD imaging surveys. Using this analysis we are able to probe the CN distribution of M31 and evaluate the global nova rate. Using models of the galactic surface brightness of M31, we show that the observed CN distribution consists of a separate bulge and disk population. We also show that the M31 bulge CN eruption rate per unit $r'$ flux is more than five times greater than that of the disk. We deduce a global M31 CN rate of $65^{+16}_{-15}$ year$^{-1}$, a value much higher than found by previous surveys. Using the global rate, we derive a M31 bulge rate of $38^{+15}_{-12}$ year$^{-1}$ and a disk rate of $27^{+19}_{-15}$ year$^{-1}$. Given our understanding of the completeness and an analysis of other sources of error, we conclude that the true global nova rate of M31 is at least 50% higher than was previously thought and this has consequent implications for the presumed CN rate in the Milky Way. We deduce a Galactic bulge rate of $14^{+6}_{-5}$ year$^{-1}$, a disk rate of $20^{+14}_{-11}$ year$^{-1}$ and a global Galactic rate of $34^{+15}_{-12}$ year$^{-1}$.

Cosmological constraints on Hořava gravity revised in light of GW170817 and GRB170817A and the degeneracy with massive neutrinos

description: We revise the cosmological bounds on Hořava gravity taking into accounts the stringent constraint on the speed of propagation of gravitational waves from GW170817 and GRB170817A. In light of this we also investigate the degeneracy between massive neutrinos and Hořava gravity. We show that a luminal propagation of gravitational waves suppresses the large-scale Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation temperature anisotropies and the presence of massive neutrinos increases this effect. On the contrary large neutrinos mass can compensate the modifications induced by Hořava gravity in the lensing, matter and primordial B-mode power spectra. Another degeneracy is found, at theoretical level, between the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ and massive neutrinos as well as with the model's parameters. We analyze these effects using CMB, supernovae type Ia (SNIa), galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing measurements and we show how such degeneracies are removed. We find that the model's parameters are constrained to be very close to their General Relativity limits and we get a two orders of magnitude improved upper bound, with respect to the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraint, on the deviation of the effective gravitational constant from the Newtonian one. The deviance information criterion suggests that in Hořava gravity $Σm_ν>0$ is favored when CMB data only are considered, while the joint analysis of all datasets prefers zero neutrinos mass.
