description: Context. In binary star systems, the winds from the two components impact each other, leading to strong shocks and regions of enhanced density and temperature. Potentially habitable circumbinary planets must continually be exposed to these interactions regions. Aims. We study, for the first time, the interactions between winds from low-mass stars in a binary system, to show the wind conditions seen by potentially habitable circumbinary planets. Methods. We use the advanced 3D numerical hydrodynamic code Nurgush to model the wind interactions of two identical winds from two solar mass stars with circular orbits and a binary separation of 0.5 AU. As input into this model, we use a 1D hydrodynamic simulation of the solar wind, run using the Versatile Advection Code. We derive the locations of stable and habitable orbits in this system to explore what wind conditions potentially habitable planets will be exposed to during their orbits. Results. Our wind interaction simulations result in the formation of two strong shock waves separated by a region of enhanced density and temperature. The wind-wind interaction region has a spiral shape due to Coriolis forces generated by the orbital motions of the two stars. The stable and habitable zone in this system extends from approximately 1.4 AU to 2.4 AU. (TRUNCATED)

EVALUATION OF THE GM1 OLIGOSACCHARIDE ROLE IN NEURONAL DIFFERENTIATION
Creators: name: FATO, PAMELA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2020

description: GM1 is a mono-sialo ganglioside with amphiphilic character due to the presence of a hydrophobic group, ceramide, and a hydrophilic head (oligosaccharide chain). GM1 represents one of the most important modulator in the nervous system where it is involve in maturations of neurons, differentiation, increase responses to neurotrophic factors, protection against neuronal death and reduction brain damage. The effects of GM1 are known in vitro and in vivo, but the molecular mechanism of action underlying the GM1 properties is unknown. The present work aims to analyze the mechanism of action of GM1, and in particular to demonstrate that the effects of this ganglioside are attributable to the action of its oligosaccharide portion (OligoGM1) and not to the entire molecule. To reach our purpose we used mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2a (N2a). Like GM1, OligoGM1 promotes neurodifferentiation by increasing both neurite elongation and the expression of neurofilament proteins in N2a cell. A similar effect was obtained with the use of fucosyl-OligoGM1 but not with the administration of asialo-OligoGM1, OligoGM2, OligoGM3, sialic acid or galactose (single components of Oligo GM1). OligoGM1, in N2a cells, activates ERK1/2 pathway binding to the NGF specific receptor TrkA present on the cell surface. To study this mechanism of action we used tritium labeled derivative of OligoGM1. The activator for GM1 mediated functions (differentiation and protection) is the interaction between OligoGM1 and TrkA. This was established with the use of a TrkA inhibition. With a bioinformatics study it was established that OligoGM1 inserts in a pocket of the TrkA-NGF complex. An increase in energy associated to the complex TrkA-NGF-OligoGM1 indicates greater stability of intermolecular interactions. All the results lead to the conclusion that the bioactive portion of GM1, in neuronal differentiation and protection, is represented by its hydrophilic chain (OligoGM1). These conclusions open up new perspectives on the therapeutic use of gangliosides.

description: Fim fundamental dos ‘mitos de origem’ da Antiguidade Pré-Clássica e Clássica era interpretar e sublimar a realidade da vida, a ordem actual do mundo. Contavam com a metáfora da ‘criação’ que “no princípio” a divindidade dispôs e ordenou o cosmo segundo a organização conhecida. As realidades penosas era ‘explicadas’ com a metáfora de uma transgressão, que, não sendo da ordem da moral, gerava espírito religioso que suscitava uma certa ordem moral. Os sábios, apelando a um comportamento ético, sugeriam que a prática da justiça concretizava a ordem primordial imposta pela divindade no cosmo, segundo um plano de harmonia entre todos os seres.

description: We carried out 2D-axisymmetric MHD simulations of core-collapse supernovae for rapidly-rotating magnetized progenitors. By changing both the strength of the magnetic field and the spatial resolution, the evolution of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) and its impacts upon the dynamics are investigated. We found that the MRI greatly amplifies the seed magnetic fields in the regime where not the Alfvén mode but the buoyant mode plays a primary role in the exponential growth phase. The MRI indeed has a powerful impact on the supernova dynamics. It makes the shock expansion faster and the explosion more energetic, with some models being accompanied by the collimated-jet formations. These effects, however, are not made by the magnetic pressure except for the collimated-jet formations. The angular momentum transfer induced by the MRI causes the expansion of the heating region, by which the accreting matter gain an additional time to be heated by neutrinos. The MRI also drifts low-$Y_p$ matter from the deep inside of the core to the heating region, which makes the net neutrino heating rate larger by the reduction of the cooling due to the electron capture. These two effects enhance the efficiency of the neutrino heating, which is found to be the key to boost the explosion. Indeed we found that our models explode far more weakly when the net neutrino heating is switched off. The contribution of the neutrino heating to the explosion energy could reach 60\% even in the case of strongest magnetic field in the current simulations.

description: Abnormal electronic properties of complex systems require new ideas concerning explanation of their behavior and possibility of realization. In this acticle we show that a colossal magnetoresistance is realized in the state of the topological Kondo insulator, that is similar to the Kondo insulator state in the Kondo lattice. The mechanism of the phenomenon is the following: in the spin gapless phase an external magnetic field induces the gap in the spectrum of spin excitations, the gap in the spectrum of fermions is opened due to a hybridization between spin and fermion subsystems at half filling, as the result the magnetic field leads to metal-insulator (or bad metal - insulator) phase transition. A model of the topological Kondo lattice defined on a honeycomb lattice is studied for the case when spinless fermion bands are half filled. It is shown that the hybridization between local moments and itinerant fermions should be understood as the hybridization between corresponding Majorana fermions of the spin and charge sectors. The system is a topological insulator, single fermion and spin excitations at low energies are massive. We will show that a spin gap induces a gap in the charge channel, it leads to an appearance of a topological insulator state with chiral gapless edge modes and the Chern number one or two depending on the exchange integrals' values. The relevance of this to the traditional Kondo insulator state is discussed.

description: Amyloid fibrils have been associated with human disease for many decades, but it has also become apparent that they play a functional, non-disease-related role in e.g. bacteria and mammals. Moreover, they have been shown to possess interesting mechanical properties that can harnessed for future man-made applications. Here, the mechanical behaviour of SSTSAA microcrystals has been investigated. The SSTSAA peptide organization in these microcrystals has been related to that in the corresponding amyloid fibrils. Using high-pressure X-ray diffraction experiments, the bulk modulus K, which is the reciprocal of the compressibility b, has been calculated to be 2.48 GPa. This indicates that the fibrils are tightly packed, although the packing of most native globular proteins is even better. It is shown that the value of the bulk modulus is mainly determined by the compression along the c-axis, that relates to the inter-sheet distance in the fibrils. These findings corroborate earlier data obtained by AFM and molecular dynamics simulations that showed that mechanical resistance varies according to the direction of the applied strain, which can be related to packing and hydrogen bond contributions. Pressure experiments provide complementary information to these techniques and help to acquire a full mechanical characterization of biomolecular assemblies.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Exploring the length scales, timescales and chemistry of challenging materials (Part 2)’.

description: There are three main components to this article: (i) A formula for the eta invariant of the signature complex for any finite subgroup of ${\rm{SO}}(4)$ acting freely on $S^3$ is given. An application of this is a non-existence result for Ricci-flat ALE metrics on certain spaces. (ii) A formula for the orbifold correction term that arises in the index of the self-dual deformation complex is proved for all finite subgroups of ${\rm{SO}}(4)$ which act freely on $S^3$. Some applications of this formula to the realm of self-dual and scalar-flat Kähler metrics are also discussed. (iii) Two infinite families of scalar-flat anti-self-dual ALE spaces with groups at infinity not contained in ${\rm{U}}(2)$ are constructed. Using these spaces, new examples of self-dual metrics on $n \# \mathbb{CP}^2$ are obtained for $n \geq 3$.

DIVERSITY IN MTORC1 SUBSTRATE RECRUITMENT ENABLES SPECIFICITY OF METABOLIC RESPONSES TO NUTRITIONAL CUES
Creators: name: ESPOSITO, ALESSANDRA

description: The mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase complex 1 (mTORC1) is a key signaling hub that acts as a central regulator of several cellular processes, including cell growth and metabolism. The activation of mTORC1 occurs at the lysosomal surface via a two-step mechanism that requires a) its amino acid-dependent recruitment to the lysosome via the Rag GTPases and b) its growth factor-dependent activation by Rheb. mTORC1 senses and integrates multiple upstream signals to phosphorylate a broad number of substrates and modulate the crucial balance between cell anabolism and catabolism. However, whether mTORC1 can differentially regulate specific proteins to selectively respond to such a variety of intracellular and environmental cues is poorly understood. Here we show that Transcription Factor EB (TFEB), a master modulator of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy, is modulated by mTORC1 via a specific substrate recruitment mechanism that is mediated by Rag GTPases. Differently from the well-characterized mTORC1 substrates S6K and 4E-BP1, which are recruited by mTORC1 via binding to the regulatory subunit Raptor, TFEB interaction with mTORC1 relies on its physical association with active Rag C/D. Owing to this mechanism, TFEB phosphorylation is insensitive to growth factor-mediated activation of Rheb but highly sensitive to amino acid-mediated activation of Rag GTPases. Strikingly, substituting the region of TFEB responsible for its recruitment to mTORC1 with the one of S6K, inverted TFEB phosphorylation behaviour and made it similar to S6K/4E-BP1. Thus, our findings reveal that diversity in mTORC1 substrate recruitment mechanisms enables mTORC1 to induce selective responses to specific nutritional cues.

description: We develop a theoretical model to describe the dissipative dynamics of singlet-triplet (S-T_0) qubits in GaAs quantum dots. Using the concurrence experimentally obtained as a guide, we show that each logical qubit is coupled to its own environment because the decoherence effect can be described by independent dephasing channels. Given the correct description of the environment, we study the dynamics of concurrence as a function of the temperature, the constant coupling between the system and the environment, the preparation time, and the exchange coupling. Although the reduction of the environment coupling constant modifies the entanglement dynamics, we demonstrate that temperature emerges as a crucial variable and a variation of millikelvins significantly modifies the generation of entangled states. Furthermore, we show that the exchange coupling together with the preparation time strongly affects the entanglement dissipative dynamics.

description: Abstract: "Execution of tasks in dynamic batch units provides additional operating freedom via transient control profiles. When considered at the design and scheduling stage, this freedom can stretch the limits of profitability under strict market, facility and time constraints. The work in this paper incorporates dynamic processing conditions for products in a multi-product batch plant, as opposed to fixing the process by recipes, in the broader context of equipment design, production planning, scheduling and inventory considerations. The objective is a general function of fixed design costs, operating costs, production revenues etc. Decisions include stage processing times for products, transient stage operating policies, continuous design parameters, production capacity and production schedules. The infinite dimensional optimal control problem for each operation is solved using collocation over finite time elements ([6], [7]). Scheduling, with its combinatorial complexity, is addressed in the scope of flowshop plants for specific transfer policies using the Aggregated Scheduling model in [3] and [4]. Two examples are solved via sequential and simultaneous solution approaches. The smaller first example allows transient control at the reaction stage for problems with relevant objectives in planning and scheduling. The second example allows transient control at the reaction and high purity separation stage for a general objective function. Considerable savings achieved in most situations are reported, along with moderate computational requirements for solving the examples."

description: The most common search channel for heavy neutral Higgses in models with an extension of the Standard Model Higgs sector is $A/H^0\rightarrow ττ$, which becomes ineffective when new decay modes of $A/H^0$ open. In this paper, we analyzed two such channels involving charged Higgses in the final states: $A/H^0 \rightarrow W^\pm H^\mp$ and $H^0 \rightarrow H^+H^-$. With the consequent decay of $H^\pm\rightarrow τν$, we found that the limits for $σ\times{BR}(gg \rightarrow A/H^0 \rightarrow W^\pm H^\mp)\times {BR}(H^\pm \rightarrow τν)$ vary from 30 to 10 fb for $m_{A/H^0}$ between 300 and 1000 GeV for 95% C.L. exclusion, and about 80 to 30 fb for 5$σ$ discovery. For $H^+H^-$ mode, 95% C.L. limits on $σ\times {BR}(gg\to H^0\to H^+ H^-)\times {BR}^2(H^\pm\to τν)$ vary from 9 to 4 fb for $m_{H^0}$ between 400 and 1000 GeV, while the 5$σ$ reach is about 20 to 10 fb. We further interpret the cross section limits in the Type II 2HDM parameter space. While $A\rightarrow W^\pm H^\mp$ offers great sensitivity in both $\sin(β-α)$ versus $\tanβ$ and $m_A$ versus $\tanβ$ parameter space, $H^0\rightarrow H^+ H^-$ can cover most of the parameter space for $H^0$. Reach in $H^0\rightarrow W^\pm H^\mp$ is more limited, especially for $m_{H^0}>2 m_{H^\pm}$. It is, however, complementary to $H^0\rightarrow H^+ H^-$ when ${BR}(H^0\rightarrow H^+ H^-)$ is accidentally suppressed.

description: In this paper we present a methodology for finding tight convex relaxations for a special set of quadratic constraints given by bilinear and linear terms that frequently arise in the optimization of process networks. The basic idea lies on exploiting the interaction between the vector spaces where the different set of variables are defined in order to generate cuts that will tighten the relaxation of traditional approaches. These cuts are not dominated by the McCormick convex envelopes and can be effectively used in conjunction with them. The performance of the method is tested in several case studies by implementing the resulting relaxation within a spatial branch and bound framework.

description: How can one conclude that well-being is higher in country A than country B, when well-being is being measured according to the way people in country A think about well-being? We address this issue by proposing a new culturally sensitive method to comparing societal levels of well-being. We support our reasoning with data on life satisfaction and interdependent happiness focusing on individual and family, collected mostly from students, across forty-nine countries. We demonstrate that the relative idealization of the two types of well-being varies across cultural contexts and are associated with culturally diferent models of selfhood. Furthermore, we show that rankings of societal well-being based on life satisfaction tend to underestimate the contribution from interdependent happiness. We introduce a new culturally sensitive method for calculating societal well-being, and examine its construct validity by testing for associations with the experience of emotions and with individualism-collectivism. This new culturally sensitive approach represents a slight, yet important improvement in measuring well-being

description: In this paper we describe and summarize the main achievements of the European Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions project (EUCAARI). EUCAARI started on 1 January 2007 and ended on 31 December 2010 leaving a rich legacy including: (a) a comprehensive database with a year of observations of the physical, chemical and optical properties of aerosol particles over Europe, (b) comprehensive aerosol measurements in four developing countries, (c) a database of airborne measurements of aerosols and clouds over Europe during May 2008, (d) comprehensive modeling tools to study aerosol processes fron nano to global scale and their effects on climate and air quality. In addition a new Pan-European aerosol emissions inventory was developed and evaluated, a new cluster spectrometer was built and tested in the field and several new aerosol parameterizations and computations modules for chemical transport and global climate models were developed and evaluated. These achievements and related studies have substantially improved our understanding and reduced the uncertainties of aerosol radiative forcing and air quality-climate interactions. The EUCAARI results can be utilized in European and global environmental policy to assess the aerosol impacts and the corresponding abatement strategies.

Here we propose a hierarchical adaptive RBN (HARBN) as a system consisting of distinct adaptive RBNs - subnetworks - connected by a set of permanent interlinks. Information measures and internal subnetworks topology of HARBN coevolve and reach steady-states that are specific for a given network structure. We investigate mean node information, mean edge information as well as a mean node degree as functions of model parameters and demonstrate HARBN's ability to describe complex hierarchical systems.

description: In the BFKL approach, discontinuities of multiple production amplitudes in invariant masses of produced particles are discussed. It turns out that they are in evident contradiction with the BDS ansatz for $n$-gluon amplitudes in the planar $N$=4 SYM at $n\ge 6$. An explicit expression for the NLO discontinuity of the two-to-four amplitude in the invariant mass of two produced gluons is is presented.

description: I partiti politici e i movimenti sociali sono due degli attori pi� rilevanti della politica, nonostante ci�, le loro relazioni hanno attratto un moderato interesse tra gli studiosi. Cos�, in un momento in cui i partiti politici cercano nuovi modi di connettersi con i cittadini che non li affidano pi�, mentre i movimenti sociali stanno avvicinando alla politica istituzionale, il loro rapporto � ancora pi� importante che mai per comprendere i prossimi eventi politici e sociali. Pertanto, questa tesi esplora la relazione tra partiti politici e movimenti sociali. In particolare, si concentra sulle dinamiche degli elementi in grado di alterare il tipo di relazione esistente tra di loro. Usando il metodo conosciuto come ?analytic narratives?, esamina la storia delle interazioni tra partiti politici e movimenti sociali nelle citt� di Milano e Barcellona. In primo luogo d� una forma coerente agli eventi accaduti nelle elezioni locali di entrambe citt� ed evidenzia gli attori chiavi e gli elementi cruciali per queste interazioni. In secondo luogo, attraverso gli strumenti di teoria dei giochi, analizza questi elementi per osservare il loro ruolo nella definizione del tipo di relazione che si stabilisce tra partiti politici e movimenti sociali.

description: To what extent does European Commission regulate state aid policy independently of member states? preferences? Formally, the European Commission regulates state aid independently of national pressures. In real facts, since the supranational rules restricts the opportunities to support selective undertakings, member states have to gain from constraining the Commission?s authority in order to play a leading role in the domestic economy. The present analysis investigates to what extent and under which circumstances member states are able to affect the Commission decisions on state aid. According to the European rules on state aid policy, I present a straightforward game that highlights how member states strategically interact with the Commission. Hence, I derive six testable hypotheses on the impact of member states through threats of non-compliance and the most influent commissioners on state aid policy, such as the commissioners on competition and regional policy. Employing data on 3249 decisions on state aid that the Commission has taken from the 22nd of March 1999, when the current regulation on state aid came in force, until 31/12/2009, I find that decision-making has been affected by member states. On the whole, they seem to take advantages both from the weaknesses of state aid control and the nomination of the commissioner on regional policy. Member states? influence varies among policy objectives: the Commission is affected especially when it evaluates measures concerning regional development. On the contrary, when the decision-making concern horizontal measures, the Commission seems to be affected only by the threats of non-compliance In addition to the mechanisms executed by member states, supranational decisions may be affected also by other factors, such as the Commission?s policy preferences, the procedural constraints provided for by formal rules, the degree of selectivity of the aid, the level of workload and the changes in the economic cycle.

description: This paper addresses the solution of nonconvex MINLP problems for process synthesis through the Outer-Approximation/Equality-Relaxation algorithm. A two-phase strategy is proposed where in phase I nonconvexities that may cut off the global optimum are systematically identified with local and global tests. In phase II, a new master problem is proposed that attempts to locate the global optimum which may have been overlooked in phase I. The proposed procedure, which has been implemented in DICOPT, is illustrated with several examples that include the design of multiproduct batch plants and a structural flowsheet optimization problem.
As montagens mediáticas da sacralidade - Notas antropológicas

description: Desmentindo as profecias da privatização da religião, o acontecimento religioso continua bem presente na cena pública. Veja-se a atenção dada, no espaço"massmediático", aos "virtuosos" da religião – Dalai Lama, João Paulo II, Madre Teresa de Calcutá, Desmond Tutu, e gurus de origem vária. O fascínio que exercem estas personalidades religiosas carismáticas, ou os acontecimentos extraordinários de que são protagonistas, é um bom exemplo dos actuais processos de individualização e "emocionalização" do crer. Esse espaço "massmediático" tornou-se um lugar de montagem de sacralidades efémeras e emocionais, características salientes da religiosidade contemporânea. Mais, as próprias instituições religiosas, mesmo na condição de alguma fragilidade social, não deixam de produzir novos emblemas, aculturando o ritual do seu aparecer público à lógica do medium utilizado.

description: A three-stage pilot system was implemented for passive treatment of circumneutral, ferruginous seepage water at a former opencast lignite mine in southeast Germany. The pilot system consisted of consecutive, increasingly efficient treatment stages with settling ponds for pre-treatment, surface-flow wetlands for polishing and sediment filters for purification. The overall objective of the multistage approach was to demonstrate applicability and operational reliability for successive removal of iron as the primary contaminant broadly following Pareto’s principle in due consideration of the strict site-specific effluent limit of 1 mg/L. Average inflow total iron concentration was 8.4(± 2.4) mg/L, and effluent concentration averaged 0.21(± 0.07) mg/L. The bulk iron load (≈69%) was retained in settling ponds, thus effectively protecting wetlands and sediment filter from overloading. In turn, wetlands and sediment filters displayed similar discrete treatment efficiency (≈73% each) relative to settling ponds and thus proved indispensable to reliably meet regulatory requirements. Moreover, the wetlands were found to additionally stimulate and enhance biogeochemical processes that facilitated effective removal of secondary contaminants such as Mn and NH4. The sediment filters were found to reliably polish particulate and redox-sensitive compounds (Fe, As, Mn, NH4, TSS) whilst concomitantly mitigating natural spatiotemporal fluctuations that inevitably arise in open systems. Both treatment performance and operational reliability of the multistage pilot system were comparable to the conventional treatment plant currently operated on site. Altogether the study fully confirmed suitability of the multistage passive setup as a long-term alternative for seepage water treatment on site and provided new insights into the performance and interrelation of consecutive treatment stages. Most importantly, it was demonstrated that strategically combining increasingly efficient components may be used for optimisation of treatment performance and operational reliability whilst providing an opportunity to minimise land consumption and overall costs.

description: [1] The effects of climate change on ozone and PM2.5 concentrations over the eastern United States were investigated using the Global-Regional Coupled Air Pollution modeling System (GRE-CAPS). GRE-CAPS consists of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) II' general circulation model with aerosol processes and ozone chemistry, the fifth-generation PSU/NCAR mesoscale model (MM5) regional meteorological model, and the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions (CAMx) with aerosol (PM) processes developed at Carnegie Mellon University (PMCAMx) regional chemical transport model. A set of five present-day Januaries and six present-day Julys was simulated using GRE-CAPS. The present-day model predictions (2000s) were compared to model predictions for a set of five future Januaries and Julys. The future time period investigated was the 2050s, using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change A2 scenario. U.S. emissions of biogenic and anthropogenic precursors were held constant so that the effects of climate change alone could be calculated. Climate change led to a decrease in U.S. land cell average January PM2.5 concentrations of 0.3 μg m−3 and an increase of July PM2.5 of 2.5 μg m−3. The changes in PM in the Northeast were of the opposite sign of the domain-wide averages. The response in January was due largely to increased precipitation, while the response in July was due primarily to decreased ventilation, as indicated by decreases in mixing height and wind speed, with increases in sulfate being the largest response by a single species. The U.S. land cell average change in July daily maximum 8-h ozone concentration was +1.7 ppb, though the increases in cities in the Southeast were up to 15 ppb. In spite of the large differences in ozone in many areas, the changes in ozone concentration were not statistically significant over most of the domain because of large interannual variability. In separate simulations to test the sensitivity of ozone concentrations to biogenic emissions, a 25% increase in biogenic U.S. volatile organic compound emissions led to an additional increase in land cell average ozone of 0.7 ppb, though the increased ozone resulting from increased biogenics was largely statistically insignificant.

description: Excerpts from the report: The Southwest Louisiana River Basin comprises an area of about 11,836 square miles--about a quarter of the entire State--and is located in the southwestern part of Louisiana with its base along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The Basin is bounded on the north and east by the Red River and West Atchafalaya Basin Protection Levees, and on the west by the watershed divide between the Calcasieu and Sabine River Basins. The Study Area is made up of about 11,132 square miles of land and about 704 square miles of surface water. The three major sub-basins in the Study Area and their drainage areas are the Calcasieu - 4,085 square miles, the Mermentau - 3,896 square miles, and the Teche-Vermilion Rivers - 2,014 square miles. In addition, it includes about 1,457 square miles of the Atchafalaya River Basin and about 384 square miles of the Sabine River Basin. The combined drainage area of the Basin amounts to about 25 percent of the area of the State of Louisiana. All or parts of 17 parishes are included in the Basin Study Area. The primary objective of the Study is to facilitate the orderly conservation, development, utilization, and management of the water and related land resources of the Basin. Investigations in the Southwest Louisiana River Basin Study Area were made by the Soil Conservation Service, Forest Service, and Economic Research Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The purposes of the investigations were to: (1) identify water and related land resource problems; (2) prepare a potential plan for water and related land resource development that could be accomplished under USDA programs; (3) prepare agricultural and forestry data for use of cooperating agencies in planning water and related land resource projects under their programs; and (4) compile engineering, economic, and related data that local organizations could use for developing water and related land resources. All investigations were coordinated with investigations of other cooperating agencies.
