Qualitative study of the effects of Cadmium ion on the morphology, physiology and protein profile of Lolium perenne (Perennial Ryegrass) and Trifolium hybridum (Alsike Cover)
Creators: name: Guo, Yinuo (Yvette)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Roadside plants are exposed to heavy metal ions every year in the Lower Mainland. On an average rainy day, roadside groundwater may contain potentially toxic cadmium concentrations as well as other heavy metals. Does this pose severe problems for plant growth and survival? The current study investigated the physiological symptoms of Ryegrass (L. perenne) and Clover (T. hybridum) in response to cadmium stress. Using plate culturing and hydroponic growth medium, we found that both plant species in high cadmium concentration (1000μM) experienced 1) reduction in the morphological development of seedling and young plants, and 2) reduction in metabolism (e.g. photosynthesis rate). These findings shed light on the tolerance limits of roadside plants and their sustainable growth in heavy‐metal prone environments.

description: We combine a FUSE sample of OVI absorbers (z < 0.15) with a database of 1.07 million galaxy redshifts to explore the relationship between absorbers and galaxy environments. All 37 absorbers with N(OVI) > 10^{13.2} cm^-2 lie within 800 h_70^-1 kpc of the nearest galaxy, with no compelling evidence for OVI absorbers in voids. The OVI absorbers often appear to be associated with environments of individual galaxies. Gas with 10 +/- 5% of solar metallicity (OVI and CIII) has a median spread in distance of 350-500 kpc around L* galaxies and 200-270 kpc around 0.1 L* galaxies (ranges reflect uncertain metallicities of gas undetected in Lya absorption). In order to match the OVI line frequency, dN/dz = 20 for N(OVI) > 10^{13.2} cm^-2, galaxies with L < 0.1 L* must contribute to the cross section. The Lya absorbers with N(HI) > 10^{13.2} cm^-2 cover ~50% of the surface area of typical galaxy filaments. Two-thirds of these show OVI and/or CIII absorption, corresponding to a 33-50% covering factor at 0.1 Z_sun and suggesting that metals are spread to a maximum distance of 800 kpc, within typical galaxy supercluster filaments. Approximately 50% of the OVI absorbers have associated Lya line pairs with separations Delta V = 50-200 km/s. These pairs could represent shocks at the speeds necessary to create copious OVI, located within 100 kpc of the nearest galaxy and accounting for much of the two-point correlation function of low-z Lya forest absorbers.

description: In recent measurements on the charge-density-wave (CDW) conductor blue bronze (K0.3MoO3), the electro-transmittance and electro-reflectance spectra were searched for intragap states that could be associated with solitons created by injection of electrons into the CDW at the current contacts [Eur. Phys. J. B 16, 295 (2000); ibid 35, 233 (2003)]. In this work, we adapt the model of soliton absorption in dimerized polyacetylene to the blue bronze results, to obtain the (order of magnitude) estimate that current induced solitons occur on less than ~ 10% of the conducting chains. We discuss the implications of these results on models of soliton lifetimes and motion of CDW phase dislocations.

Maddisonia

description: Maddisonia gen. nov.
 Etymology. The name is proposed for Prof. Wayne Maddison (UniversitY of British Columbia, Vancouver), the world authority in salticid taxonomy, biogeography and evolution. The name is feminine in gender.
 Type species: Maddisonia richardsoni sp. nov.
 Diagnosis. Small/tiny spiders. Embolus large, cork-screwlike. In some species a projection at the embolus’ base present. Seminal reservoir not meandering, tibial apophysis long, single or bifurcate, sometimes with a ventral protrusion. First legs stout, 4th legs longer than 3rd ones.
 Description. Spiders below 3 mm long. Cephalothorax pear-shaped, widest at the fovea level, rather low, elongate, posterior thoracic slope starts at ⅔ of thorax’s length. Fovea well behind PLE, in the middle of cephalothorax. ClYpeus very narrow. Abdomen ovoid, spinnerets not distinctive. Chelicerae with single or two-cuspidate teeth on the posterior margin. First legs stout, with 3 and 2 pairs of ventrolateral spines on tibiae and metatarsi, respectively. Other legs rather delicate, not distinctive, legs 4 longer than legs 3. All legs, especially 2–4 with dark and light bands on particular segments. Palpal organ’s embolus large, cork-screw-like, sometimes with a small projection (p) at its base. Sperm duct (sd) not meandering, tegulum ovoid or with lobe (tl). Palpal tibial apophysis long, sometimes bifurcate, with or without additional protrusion. Females not known.
 Relationships and distribution. Due to the unique male genitalic structure, the taxonomic position of this enigmatic genus is unclear—at least as long as females are known. The particular species are recorded from single localities (Fig. 5), thus the predictions of their potential distribution are not possible at this stage.

The Skyrmion Model and the Dynamical Breakdown of Chiral Symmetry

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: A scalar field, $η({\bf r})$, is coupled to the skyrmion. Its classical value in the vacuum ("condensate") reduces to the pion decay constant, $f_π$, being thus proportional to the chiral condensate $$. A quadratic coupling of the scalar field to the pion kinetic Lagrangian term, reminiscent from the linear sigma model, is considered. Its mass is an additional free parameter in the model associated to the lightest scalar isoscalar meson. Solutions for the two resulting coupled differential equations are found in several cases. The nucleon, as a topological soliton, ``digs a hole'' in the vacuum making the value of the scalar condensate to be close to zero inside the skyrmion. Some of the observables, as for example the baryon masses, may have their values closer to the experimental ones. Derrick's stability analysis is applied to the model.

description: Purpose: This article aims to analyze the influence of certain characteristics of the board of directors and the auditor on the disclosure of derivative financial instruments.
 Theoretical framework: Operations with derivative instruments are associated with high risks, so the disclosure of these operations and their results helps to reduce information asymmetries. On the other hand, acccording to agency theory, the characteristics of the board of directors and of the auditor can affect the quality and the level of financial information disclosed.
 Design/methodology/approach: The data were obtained through content analysis, considering the 2017 reports and accounts of 37 companies listed on Euronext Lisbon, through a disclosure index. Subsequently, a multiple linear regression model was developed to identify the determinants of the level of disclosure about derivative instruments.
 Findings: The results revealed that only the number of independent members on the board of directors, the auditor's gender, and the size of the entity influence the level of disclosure about derivative instruments.
 Research, Practical & Social implications: This study may be useful for regulators in setting disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and useful in companies' decision making in defining the members of the board and the auditor.
 Originality/value: It contributes to the literature on compliance with IFRS and contributes to the perception of the influence of certain characteristics associated with the board of directors and the auditor in the disclosure of derivative instruments.
M31's Undisturbed Thin Disk of Globular Clusters

description: We show that there is a subsystem of the M31 globular clusters with THIN DISK kinematics. These clusters span the entire metallicity range of the M31 globular cluster system, in contrast to the (thick) disk globulars in the Milky Way which are predominantly metal-rich. Disk globular clusters are found across the entire disk of M31 and form around 40% of the clusters projected on its disk. The existence of such a disk system suggests that there was a relatively large thin disk in place very early in M31's history. Accurate measures of the ages of these clusters will constrain the epoch of disk formation in M31. There is currently no strong evidence for differences in age between Milky Way and M31 globulars. While age differences are subtle for old populations, it is unlikely that disk clusters with [Fe/H] around -2.0 were formed after significant star formation began in the galaxy, as the proto-cluster gas would be enriched by supernova ejecta. Thus it is likely that M31 had a rather large disk in place at early epochs. The very existence of such a cold disk means that M31 has suffered no mergers with an object of 10% or more of the disk mass since the clusters were formed. This makes Brown et al (2003)'s suggestion that M31 could have suffered an equal-mass merger 6-8 Gyr ago less viable.

description: Dense indoor scene modeling from 2D images has been bottlenecked due to the absence of depth information and cluttered occlusions. We present an automatic indoor scene modeling approach using deep features from neural networks. Given a single RGB image, our method simultaneously recovers semantic contents, 3D geometry and object relationship by reasoning indoor environment context. Particularly, we design a shallow-to-deep architecture on the basis of convolutional networks for semantic scene understanding and modeling. It involves multi-level convolutional networks to parse indoor semantics/geometry into non-relational and relational knowledge. Non-relational knowledge extracted from shallow-end networks (e.g. room layout, object geometry) is fed forward into deeper levels to parse relational semantics (e.g. support relationship). A Relation Network is proposed to infer the support relationship between objects. All the structured semantics and geometry above are assembled to guide a global optimization for 3D scene modeling. Qualitative and quantitative analysis demonstrates the feasibility of our method in understanding and modeling semantics-enriched indoor scenes by evaluating the performance of reconstruction accuracy, computation performance and scene complexity.

description: We report a measurement of limb darkening of a solar-like star in the very high magnification microlensing event MOA 2002-BLG-33. A 15 hour deviation from the light curve profile expected for a single lens was monitored intensively in V and I passbands by five telescopes spanning the globe. Our modelling of the light curve showed the lens to be a close binary system whose centre-of-mass passed almost directly in front of the source star. The source star was identified as an F8-G2 main sequence turn-off star. The measured stellar profiles agree with current stellar atmosphere theory to within ~4% in two passbands. The effective angular resolution of the measurements is <1 micro-arcsec. These are the first limb darkening measurements obtained by microlensing for a Solar-like star.

description: Ready-made-garment (RMG) production for sale in the EU and USA is a key source of economic development for Bangladesh. The 2013 collapse of Rana Plaza revealed worker safety and other social issues in RMG factories in Bangladesh, showing that formal, top-down approaches to these problems, including corporate codes-of-conduct and reforms in Bangladeshi labor laws, have little effect. Supply chain sustainability is a key issue for business, government and civil society. Satisfactory theoretical approaches to promoting social sustainability in supply chains are lacking. A case study using qualitative document analysis identifies the key institutional factors related to social sustainability in the Bangladeshi RMG industry, with a modified version of the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework as an analytical frame. Key elements of other frameworks for social sustainability are discussed in terms of how well the IAD framework captures those concepts, and how employing the IAD could enhance supply chain analysis.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: The Trojan-Horse method is an indirect approach to determine the energy dependence of S factors of astrophysically relevant two-body reactions. This is accomplished by studying closely related three-body reactions under quasi-free scattering conditions. The basic theory of the Trojan-Horse method is developed starting from a post-form distorted wave Born approximation of the T-matrix element. In the surface approximation the cross section of the three-body reaction can be related to the S-matrix elements of the two-body reaction. The essential feature of the Trojan-Horse method is the effective suppression of the Coulomb barrier at low energies for the astrophysical reaction leading to finite cross sections at the threshold of the two-body reaction. In a modified plane wave approximation the relation between the two-body and three-body cross sections becomes very transparent. Applications of the Trojan Horse Method are discussed. It is of special interest that electron screening corrections are negligible due to the high projectile energy.

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel interpretation of gravity through the framework of Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems (CODES). Gravity is redefined as an emergent phenomenon resulting from structured resonance and phase-locking dynamics within spacetime. We propose that gravitational effects arise from coherent wave interference patterns rather than a fundamental force. This theory resolves the apparent weakness of gravity at small scales and its coherence at cosmic scales, providing a unified explanation for gravitational phenomena and a new approach to unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity.
L’impact des subventions sur l’efficacité technique des exploitations agricoles

description: Depuis une dizaine d’années, les chercheurs s’intéressent au rôle des subventions publiques reçues par les exploitants agricoles dans leurs décisions de production et d’utilisation des facteurs de production, et donc leur efficacité technique. Dans les pays industrialisés, comme l’Union européenne (UE) avec la Politique agricole commune (PAC), les exploitants agricoles sont largement subventionnés. Les subventions qu’ils reçoivent visent notamment à soutenir leur revenu, à favoriser la compétitivité agricole, à garantir une offre alimentaire en quantité et qualité, ou à encourager la production de biens publics. Bien que les subventions n’ont pas vocation explicite à améliorer l’efficacité technique, elles peuvent contribuer à améliorer la compétitivité dans le sens où l’efficacité technique est une composante de la compétitivité. Des recherches menées à l’INRA montrent que le lien entre subvention et efficacité technique n’est pas toujours positif et qu’il s’est modifié sous l’effet du découplage des aides. Enfin, la réorientation des aides vers le soutien aux productions non marchandes telles que les services environnementaux pose pour l’avenir la question de leur prise en compte dans la statistique agricole.

description: We propose an optical lattice setup to investigate spin chains and ladders. Electric and magnetic fields allow us to vary at will the coupling constants, producing a variety of quantum phases including the Haldane phase, critical phases, quantum dimers etc. Numerical simulations are presented showing how ground states can be prepared adiabatically. We also propose ways to measure a number of observables, like energy gap, staggered magnetization, end-chain spins effects, spin correlations and the string order parameter.

description: Due to the sharp decline in prices of international and domestic dairy markets the EU Commission decided and implemented two aid measures in September 2016. Within the framework of the EU milk production reduction milk producers received an aid if they reduced their milk production. Within the subsequently proceeded ‘Milchsonderbeihilfe’ milk producers received an aid if they did not increased milk production. This report evaluates the realisation and the willingness of participation of German milk producers in both aid measures. The most important finding is that dairy markets operate well even without state interventions. German milk producers already reduced their milk production before the aid measures become effective. Producers reacted to the declined dairy prices. Therefore the willingness of participation was low. This shows the fundamental functionality of dairy markets.
Social Entrepreneurship: Dissection of a Phenomenon through a German Lens

description: The occurrence and scientific investigation of the phenomenon of social entrepreneurship are rather new. The term is very popular among politicians and is reflected in a lot of the political demands and willingness that they express. However, a review of the literature about it shows that there is no common ground or frame, and the historical developments are different in different countries and economies. Based on a study of the literature, a two-phase survey following the ‘Policy Delphi’ approach was conducted in Germany in order to enlighten this frameless picture of social entrepreneurship. Our results indicate five dimensions that extend the core term: ‘social’, namely ‘Societal–Visionary’, ‘Ecological’, ‘Societal–Entrepreneurial’, ‘Economic’, and ‘Innovative–Entrepreneurial’. The degree of intercorrelation among the five dimensions shows that four factors, namely ‘Societal–Visionary’, ‘Societal–Entrepreneurial’, ‘Economic’, and ‘Innovative–Entrepreneurial’, have low to medium-high correlations. The fifth factor, ‘Ecological’, has the weakest correlation with all other factors.

description: This study analyses the impact of the Russian food and agricultural import ban on import of meat, the structural changes of trade pattern and reallocation of import flows of meat and meat products, and the price development in the import market and its impact on producers and consumers market for cattle, pork and poultry meat in the Russian Federation (RF). There is empirical evidence that the collapse of meat exports to Russia and, hence, the increase of meat prices happened even long before the import ban was introduced. The structure of Russian import market for meat has significantly changed. Brazil became the largest meat exporter in the Russian meat import market achieving market share in the total meat import of the RF almost 50% in 2015-2016. The structural changes of the Russian import market suggests that the beef and pork exporters are not price-takers on the one hand. On the other hand, they may be able to discriminate prices in the Russian import markets.

description: With the goal of reducing the dependency on oil revenues, the Government of Kazakhstan has recently increased its budget allocations to prop up the domestic agricultural sector. Yet, many observers agree that it is less the amount of public spending that induces long-term growth than the quality of the regulatory environment. Against this background, the current paper analyses the nature and effects of state regulation in the cotton sector. In the early 2000s, it was considered to be the only example of private vertical coordination in Kazakhstani agriculture, which contrasted sharply with the state mandates imposed on producers in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. However, in 2007, regulation in Kazakhstan forced ginneries to use a complex warehouse receipt system without making sure that it was accepted by stakeholders and without appropriate institutions for implementing it in place. At the same time, it imposed financing restrictions on ginneries, which were major loan and input providers to farmers. Further measures included the establishment of a special economic zone to host a "cotton cluster". In the following years, private producers and investors turned away from cotton, and cotton area and output fell substantially. We argue that the cotton sector performance after 2007 shows how ill-designed regulation and government interference can turn a promising economic sector into decline. As an unintended side effect, the regulation promoted more diversified crop rotations based on high value crops.
Nearest-Neighbor Repulsion and Competing Charge and Spin Order in the Extended Hubbard Model

description: We generalize the two-particle self-consistent approach (TPSC) to study the extended Hubbard model, where nearest-neighbor interaction is present in addition to the usual local screened interaction. Similarities and differences between the TPSC approach and the Singwi Tosi Land Sjölander (STLS) approximation for the electron gas are discussed. The accuracy of our extension of TPSC is assessed by comparisons with Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of Y. Zhang and J. Callaway, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{39}, 9397 (1989). We observe that a positive off-site interaction enhances staggered charge fluctuations and reduces staggered magnetic order.

description: We compute the expected gravitational wave signal from coalescing massive black hole (MBH) binaries at the center of galaxies in a hierarchical structure formation scenario in which seed holes of intermediate mass form far up in the dark halo merger tree. The merger history of DM halos and MBHs is followed from z=20 to the present in a LCDM cosmology. MBHs get incorporated through halo mergers into larger and larger structures, sink to the center owing to dynamical friction against the DM background, accrete cold material in the merger remnant, and form MBH binary systems. Stellar dynamical interactions cause the hardening of the binary at large separations, while gravitational wave emission takes over at small radii and leads to the final coalescence of the pair. The integrated emission from inspiraling MBH binaries results in a gravitational wave background (GWB). The characteristic strain spectrum has the standard h_c(f)\propto f^{-2/3} behavior only in the range 1E-91E-6 Hz, the strain amplitude is shaped by the convolution of last stable circular orbit emission. We discuss the observability of inspiraling MBH binaries by the planned LISA. Over a 3-year observing period LISA should resolve this GWB into discrete sources, detecting ~60 (~250) individual events above a S/N=5 (S/N=1) confidence level. (Abridged)

description: The environmental context plays a very important role in the success of entrepreneurial behaviour. Governments used this opportunity by introducing specific programmes, but do social entrepreneurs have a comparable chance of getting governmental support as commercial entrepreneurs do in these programmes? We analyze the EXIST Start-up Grant in terms of likelihood for entrepreneurs following economic and social sustainable development goals (SDGs). Our results indicate that there is a decreased probability to get the EXIST Start-up Grant when following social SDGs. We argue that it is about time to introduce specific programmes for social innovation and/or reassess existing programmes in terms of their openness to social entrepreneurs.
