title: Serotonergic neuromodulation and motor unit activity in humans

description: A motor unit, which is comprised of a motoneurone and the muscle fibres it innervates, forms the basic building block of motor control. Studying the behaviour of motor units affords insight into the properties of human motoneurones. Serotonin (5-HT) has strong modulatory effects on motoneurone excitability. 5-HT neurons form monosynaptic connections with motoneurones and converging lines of evidence indicate that 5-HT release onto motoneurones varies proportionally with the intensity of motor activity. Cellular preparations have indicated that the most significant modulatory effects that 5-HT has on motoneurones result from activation of somato-dendritic 5-HT2 receptors, which facilitate the generation of a type of electrical current that is resistant to inactivation known as a persistent inward current (PIC). However, a direct link between motor unit discharge, 5-HT2 receptor activity, and PIC activity, is yet to be demonstrated during voluntary muscle contractions in humans. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to investigate the competitive antagonism of 5-HT2 receptors in human participants and quantify the impact this has on motor unit activity as measured by high-density surface electromyography (HDsEMG).

description: This study measured the ammonia (NH3) concentration and dry deposition within 100 m around paddy fields (0.6 ha) with double rice cropping in the subtropical hilly area in southern China, with the aims to quantify the dry deposition of NH3 around the emission source and to clarify its temporal and spatial variability. The results showed that high NH3 concentrations were found during the 15 d after nitrogen (N) fertilizer application at downwind sites within 100 m around the paddy fields, and the NH3 concentrations were 12–62, 2.8–7.3, 13–38, and 4.9–36 μg N m−3 during the 15 d after basal fertilizer application and topdressing in the early rice season and after basal fertilizer application and topdressing in the late rice season, respectively. The NH3 concentrations were relatively low (1.5–3.8 μg N m−3) during other periods of the rice season at the downwind sites, which indicated that N fertilizer application in paddy fields highly affected the NH3 concentration at downwind sites. The NH3 concentrations at the downwind sites decreased significantly with the increase in distance from the paddy fields. The total NH3 dry deposition around 100 m of the paddy fields accounted for approximately 79% and 81% of the emitted NH3 from the paddy fields in the early and late rice seasons, respectively. The results indicate that dry deposition of NH3 around emission sources may be an important way to remove the NH3 volatilized from croplands in this subtropical hilly area.
The distribution of exoplanet masses

description: The present study derives the distribution of secondary masses M2 for the 67 exoplanets and very low-mass brown dwarf companions of solar-type stars, known as of April 4, 2001. This distribution is related to the distribution of M2 sin i through an integral equation of Abel's type. Although a formal solution exists for this equation, it is known to be ill-behaved, and thus very sensitive to the statistical noise present in the input M2 sin i distribution. To overcome that difficulty, we present two robust, independent approaches: (i) the formal solution of the integral equation is numerically computed after performing an optimal smoothing of the input distribution, (ii) the Lucy-Richardson algorithm is used to invert the integral equation. Both approaches give consistent results. The resulting statistical distribution of exoplanet true masses reveals that there is no reason to ascribe the transition between giant planets and brown dwarfs to the threshold mass for deuterium ignition (about 13 MJ). The M2 distribution shows instead that all the objects have M2 < 10 MJ, except the heavier candidates which cluster around 15 MJ.

 Remarks. – As discussed above, the paratypes of Ilyograpsus vannini from Melita Bay, Gulf of Zula, Ethiopia (RMNH D 26501), are here identified with I. rhizophorae. Unfortunately, the holotype and one paratype, both ovigerous females, from Abo, Somalia, were not available to us. We recognize the present taxon as a valid species for the time being, because of the differences seen in the shape of the carapace and the development of the anterolateral teeth on the carapace (see “ Remarks ” of I. rhizophorae).

description: As patents and other forms of intellectual property become more pervasive in the next generation of biotechnologies, designing policies and practices to ensure sufficient freedom to operate (i.e., the ability to practice or use an innovation) will be crucial for non-profit research agencies, especially those intent on developing technologies destined for commercial release. Are non-profit organisations exempt from intellectual property claims? What constitutes infringement of a patent? How does a non-profit establish its freedom to operate? We address these issues in this paper and evaluate various options for accessing other people’s technologies. Options include crosslicensing agreements, research-only or cost-free licences, market segmentation strategies, mergers or joint ventures, and patent pooling or clearinghouse mechanisms. Responding creatively to the new intellectual property environment will have far reaching consequences for the future of non-profit research.
Slow Relaxation in a Constrained Ising Spin Chain: a Toy Model for Granular Compaction

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present detailed analytical studies on the zero temperature coarsening dynamics in an Ising spin chain in presence of a dynamically induced field that favors locally the `-' phase compared to the `+' phase. We show that the presence of such a local kinetic bias drives the system into a late time state with average magnetization m=-1. However the magnetization relaxes into this final value extremely slowly in an inverse logarithmic fashion. We further map this spin model exactly onto a simple lattice model of granular compaction that includes the minimal microscopic moves needed for compaction. This toy model then predicts analytically an inverse logarithmic law for the growth of density of granular particles, as seen in recent experiments and thereby provides a new mechanism for the inverse logarithmic relaxation. Our analysis utilizes an independent interval approximation for the particle and the hole clusters and is argued to be exact at late times (supported also by numerical simulations).

description: Aconventional assumption of product homogeneity when the commodity of interest is actually heterogeneous will lead to errors in an analysis of the incidence of policies, such as taxes. In this article, an equilibrium displacement model is used to derive analytical solutions for price, quantity, and quality effects of ad valorem and per unit taxes. The results show how parameters determine the effects of tax policies on quality. The potential for tax-induced distortions in quality, and the distributive consequences of those distortions, are illustrated in a case study of the market for Australian wine.

description: The concept of evaluation is central to language use, as it reflects the speaker’s attitudes, judgments, and assessments regarding people, events, or situations. Language units that express evaluation include adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and verbs, all of which contribute to the subjective meaning conveyed in communication. This thesis explores how different language units serve the function of expressing evaluation, focusing on their role in shaping the meaning of a discourse.
Global Food Prices: Implications for Food Security in Malaysia

description: This paper examines the factors that led to the recent price hikes in food commodities and the implications to food security in Malaysia. Unlike the previous price crises, the price upsurge in 2008 resulted from the convergence of fundamental and technical factors and the increase of energy prices. The high price of crude oil has increased the demand for biofuel such as biodiesel, which utilises palm oil as the main feedstock. If this development continues, it may affect Malaysia’s capacity to produce more food as arable land will be dedicated to oil palm plantations. Hence, the landscape for food security concern has changed as energy and food demand are competing for the same pool of resources, in particular land and water. Further, low investments in agriculture and heavy emphasis on export crops have left the food sector unattended. Rice, which is the country’s “security crop”, failed to progress despite heavy subsidies and incentives provided by the government. This paper highlights the major issues faced by Malaysia in its bid to achieve “food security” as well as identify future challenges and policy options.

description: Reactive nitrogen (Nr) emission from soils, e.g., nitrous acid (HONO) and nitric oxide (NO), is a key process of the global nitrogen (N) cycle and has significant implications for atmospheric chemistry. To understand the underlying mechanisms of soil Nr emissions, air-dried or oven-dried soils are commonly used in the laboratory. To date, few studies have compared the effects of different drying methods on soil Nr gas fluxes and N fractions. Here, the authors studied soil water content, pH, (in)organic N content, and Nr gas fluxes of air-dried, freeze-dried, oven-dried, and fresh soils from different land-use types. The results showed that the soil pH of air-dried and oven-dried samples was significantly lower compared with fresh soil from farmland and grassland, but higher compared with forest soil. The difference in soil pH between freeze-dried and fresh soil (mean ± standard deviation: 0.52 ± 0.31) was the lowest. In general, all drying methods increased the soil NH4+-N, NO3−-N, and dissolved organic N contents compared with fresh soil (P P P > 0.2). In conclusion, all drying methods should be considered for use in studies on the land–atmosphere interface and biogeochemical N cycling, whereas the freeze-drying method might be better for studies involving the measurement of soil Nr gas fluxes.

description: Many important initial value problems have the property that energy is non-increasing in time. Energy stable methods, also referred to as strongly stable methods, guarantee the same property discretely. We investigate requirements for conditional energy stability of explicit Runge-Kutta methods for nonlinear or non-autonomous problems. We provide both necessary and sufficient conditions for energy stability over these classes of problems. Examples of conditionally energy stable schemes are constructed and an example is given in which unconditional energy stability is obtained with an explicit scheme.
State-of-the art. Data on the platform economy
Creators: name: Kilhoffer, Z.
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Platform work is paid labour intermediated by online labour platforms (OLPs) like Uber, Deliveroo, Upwork, and Amazon Mechanical Turk. This report attempts to map the most relevant measurements and methodologies used to estimate the size and relevance of platform work, and suggest potential avenues for future research. I first discuss the terminology of platform work, arguing that a more inclusive understanding is important. While platforms like YouTube and Etsy are not OLPs per se, they clearly allow the intermediation of paid work. Platform work will continue evolving, and researchers should not preclude the possibility that new types of platform work deserve our attention. Second, I discuss the primary ways we understand the size and relevance of platform work: (1) survey data, and (2) administrative and big data. Survey data is found to be especially relevant for measuring worker sentiment. However, generalising findings to the broader population (e.g. to estimate total platform workers) is very difficult, and researchers must pay special attention to survey mode to correct for sample bias. Administrative and big data are very promising for large-scale analyses and seem particularly valuable for informing evidence-based policymaking. Nevertheless, general reliability issues with big data apply, and accessing useful data usually requires cooperative agreements (e.g. with platforms, financial institutions, or government bodies).Third, I discuss two prominent works from Huws et al. (2017; 2019) and the COLLEEM surveys (Pesole et al., 2018; Brancati et al., 2019). Both are highly influential in the literature for estimating the number of platform workers in Europe and their activity. However, their conclusions are starkly different. I highlight the reasons why the COLLEEM survey’s more modest estimates are more sound. At EU-level and for individual Member States, I conclude that policymakers should consider requiring platforms to provide administrative data to ensure conformity with regulations and better socio-economic insights.

description: Aim: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a motor disorder affecting coordination and performance in daily tasks. Studies regarding design and implementation of knowledge translation strategies effecting DCD practice changes in pediatric rehabilitation settings is limited and DCD remains under-recognized and under-diagnosed with an under-utilization of evidence-based practice. This knowledge-to-practice gap was identified in central Alberta, Canada when a lower caseload of clients with DCD and a lower rate of DCD referrals to a neurodevelopmental assessment clinic was observed, given its 5-6% prevalence in children. This paper describes and discusses the development and implementation of a replicable process of knowledge translation for integrating DCD evidence into frontline practice. Methods: Structures such as the Knowledge to Action framework were retrofitted and used to describe activities that occurred during the knowledge translation process. Main activities consisted of: information dissemination; education; addition of DCD to a neurodevelopmental assessment clinic; and development of a Community of Practice. Outcome evaluation methods included surveys, interviews, referral tracking, and database creation. Results: Knowledge translation strategy implementation resulted in increased knowledge among clinicians and community stakeholders, process standardization, increased referrals querying DCD, established knowledge brokers, and practice change. Conclusion: Pre-determined and systematic implementation strategy design is essential for embedding evidence into frontline practice.

description: As one of the regions with intensive agriculture and rapid economic development in China, North China also has a high nitrogen (N) deposition. This study characterized the spatial pattern of N deposition in North China, combining the tropospheric columns from satellite measurements and the simulated profiles from an atmospheric chemistry transport model. The total N deposition fluxes ranged from 16.3 to 106.5 kg N ha−1 yr−1, with an average of 54.5 ± 17.2 kg N ha−1 yr−1. The high values were concentrated in urban and farmland areas, while low values were found in forests and grasslands with less human activities. Of the total N deposition, 36% was deposited via precipitation, 12% was deposited through dry particulate deposition, and the remaining 52% was comprised of dry gaseous deposition. For the seasonal variation of dry deposition, gaseous HNO3 and particulate NO3− were higher in winter and autumn, but lower in spring and summer. In contrast, gaseous NH3 and particulate NH4+ were higher in spring and summer, but lower in winter and autumn. This is possibly caused by the seasonal differences in emission intensity between NOx and NH3 emission sources. The gaseous NO2 deposition did not show strong seasonal variation. The wet deposition was mainly affected by precipitation, with high values in summer and low values in winter. This research provides an objective spatial perspective and insight into the total N deposition in North China.
Effects of negative energy components in two-body deuteron photodisintegratio

description: Several observables in two-body deuteron photodisintegration are investigated in the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. Apart from keeping throughout Lorentz covariance, a special attention is paid to inclusion of both the positive energy and negative energy partial-wave components of the deuteron state. Using the Bethe-Salpeter equation for deuteron in the ladder approximation with one-boson exchanges as a driving force, the contribution of the negative energy states is studied for the unpolarized differential cross as well as the linear photon and tensor target asymmetries. These states are found to have an impact on the observables and, thus, should be taken into account in a complete theoretical development of the reaction in the intermediate energy regime.

Originally devised for use in the interpretation of the Boomerang experimental data, MASTER is both a computationally efficient method suitable for use with the currently available CMB data sets (already large in size, despite covering small fractions of the sky, and affected by inhomogeneous and correlated noise), and a very promising application for the analysis of very large future CMB satellite mission products.

 Type species. – Carpoporus orientalis Sakai, 1935, by original designation.
 Remarks. – Sakai (1935) described Carpoporus orientalis from Japan, making it at that time, only the second species of the genus to be described and the first to be discovered in the Indo-Pacific. The genus Carpoporus Stimpson, 1871, was originally established for one western Atlantic species, C. papulosus Stimpson, 1871. Zarenkov (1971) described a third species, C. guinotae, from the Red Sea and the western Indian Ocean. Serène (1984), citing comments made by Guinot-Dumortier (1960: 161) that there are many carapace, third maxilliped and chela characters distinguishing the Japanese species from the Atlantic one, established the genus Hepatoporus to accommodate both C. orientalis Sakai, 1935 and C. guinotae Zarenkov, 1971. Serène (1984) designated C. orientalis Sakai, 1935 as the type species. Takeda & Nagai (1986) independently established a new genus, Carpoporoides, to accomodate C. orientalis and a new Japanese species they described, C. distinctus. Both species are known only from Japan. Takeda (1986) subsequently recognized Hepatoporus Serène, 1984, as having priority over Carpoporoides Takeda & Nagai, 1986. Davie & Turner (1994) described a fourth species, H. asper, from Western Australia. Hepatoporus now contains five species, including H. pumex, new species.

description: In the previous paper, we have shown the existence of magnetic monopoles in the pure $SU(2)$ Yang--Mills theory with a gauge-invariant mass term for the gluon field being introduced. In this paper, we extend our previous construction of magnetic monopoles to obtain dyons with both magnetic and electric charges. In fact, we solve under the static and spherically symmetric ansatz the field equations of the $SU(2)$ "complementary" gauge-scalar model, which is the $SU(2)$ Yang--Mills theory coupled to a single adjoint scalar field whose radial degree of freedom is eliminated. We show that the novel dyon solution can be identified with the gauge field configuration of a dyon with a minimum magnetic charge in the massive Yang--Mills theory. Moreover, we compare the dyon of the massive Yang--Mills theory obtained in this way with the Julia--Zee dyon in the Georgi--Glashow gauge-Higgs scalar model and the dyonic extension of the Wu--Yang magnetic monopole in the pure Yang--Mills theory. Finally, we identify the novel dyon solution found in this paper with a dyon configuration on $S^1 \times \mathbb{R}^3$ space with nontrivial holonomy and propose to use it to understand the confinement/deconfinement phase transition in the Yang--Mills theory at finite temperature, instead of using the dyons constituting the Kraan--van Baal--Lee--Lu caloron.

description: Aim: To review definitions and elements of interventions in studies, which used the word “functional” to describe their intervention for children with cerebral palsy (CP), and to determine whether definitions and elements are similar to criteria of functional therapy described in the Dutch Guidelines. Methods: Systematic review of intervention studies, which used the word “functional” to describe interventions for children with CP. We described criteria of functional therapy that were used to describe the intervention, and whether criteria were described similarly to the descriptions used in the Dutch Guidelines. Results: Of the 27 included studies, criteria “based on the activities/participation level of the ICF-CY”, “goal-directed” and “context-specific” were referred to the most (40–59.3%). Descriptions of these criteria were less comparable to the suggested definition (43.8–69.2%). The remaining three criteria (“active involvement”, “task-specific”, and “focused on functionality instead of normality”) were referred to less frequently (18.5–33.3%). The descriptions reported for these criteria were, however, the most comparable with the suggested definitions (80–100%). Conclusions: The included studies, in general have not used criteria of functional therapy. Future studies have to describe the elements of interventions in detail. Moreover, it is important to reach consensus on the definition and elements of functional therapy.
title: The 2016 South China Sea Arbitration: A critical approach
Creators: name: Heron, Derek J
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: South China Sea
subject: arbitration
subject: claimant States

description: The South China Sea (SCS) has been an important region for many centuries - more recently - a number of littoral States have made or asserted property and sovereignty rights to various reefs, shoals and other insular features; generally in accordance with the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Assertions of these rights have been motivated by a range of factors that include: prospective oil and gas reserves; locations of large fishery habitats; and the strategic importance of the SCS to international trade and commerce. This research has a specific focus upon the arbitral proceedings in the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) between two important claimant States in the SCS, namely the Philippines and China. The research question seeks to examine the key property law submissions and findings in the Philippines v China arbitration awards, and applies a critical approach to re-examining some of the key Tribunal findings in both awards. Methodologies deployed in this research project are essentially two-fold. First, an orthodox doctrinal approach examines and critiques a number of these findings. Second, the progressive and critical Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) and related bias critiques are also applied. The deployment of these methodologies provides critical insights and analyses which are then supplemented by commentaries drawn from the Chinese Society of International Law (CSIL) examinations of these awards. This research project aims to make an original contribution to existing literature and knowledge by applying TWAIL methods to examine and critique the Philippines v China arbitration awards specifically and the Law of the Sea (LOS) more generally. The literature review demonstrated a paucity of critical publications and the complete absence of any TWAIL analyses of these awards. There are a number of important outputs that flow from these critical approaches and the findings of this research. These relate specifically to the Tribunal's interpretative approaches applied to UNCLOS Articles 281, 283 and 298 on jurisdiction; Articles 13 and 121 regarding low tide elevations and islands; and the Tribunal's reasons for rejecting China's SCS historic claims within the Nine Dash Line (NDL). The interpretation and application of these articles and the rejection of China's NDL claims were the key legal outcomes from this arbitration. The implications of the Tribunal's findings reach well beyond the parties and the SCS region and now inform the global interpretation and application of some important UNCLOS related rights and interests.

An entangled two photon source using biexciton emission of an asymmetric quantum dot in a cavity

description: A semiconductor based scheme has been proposed for generating entangled photon pairs from the radiative decay of an electrically-pumped biexciton in a quantum dot. Symmetric dots produce polarisation entanglement, but experimentally-realised asymmetric dots produce photons entangled in both polarisation and frequency. In this work, we investigate the possibility of erasing the `which-path' information contained in the frequencies of the photons produced by asymmetric quantum dots to recover polarisation-entangled photons. We consider a biexciton with non-degenerate intermediate excitonic states in a leaky optical cavity with pairs of degenerate cavity modes close to the non-degenerate exciton transition frequencies. An open quantum system approach is used to compute the polarisation entanglement of the two-photon state after it escapes from the cavity, measured by the visibility of two-photon interference fringes. We explicitly relate the two-photon visibility to the degree of Bell-inequality violation, deriving a threshold at which Bell-inequality violations will be observed. Our results show that an ideal cavity will produce maximally polarisation-entangled photon pairs, and even a non-ideal cavity will produce partially entangled photon pairs capable of violating a Bell-inequality.

description: The influence of $Δ$ isobar components on the ground state properties of nuclear systems is investigated for nuclear matter as well as finite nuclei. Many-body wave functions, including isobar configurations, and binding energies are evaluated employing the framework of the coupled-cluster theory. It is demonstrated that the effect of isobar configurations depends in a rather sensitive way on the model used for the baryon-baryon interaction. As examples for realistic baryon-baryon interactions with explicit inclusion of isobar channels we use the local ($V28$) and non-local meson exchange potentials (Bonn$_{2000}$) but also a model recently developed by the Salamanca group, which is based on a quark picture. The differences obtained for the nuclear observables are related to the treatment of the interaction, the $π$-exchange contributions in particular, at high momentum transfers.

description: A better understanding of farmers' behaviour regarding agri-environment schemes (AES) can be one step towards further improving the schemes. To assess farmers' acceptance and perception of AES, the 'Theory of planned Behaviour' (TPB) was applied to identify factors influencing farmers' willingness to join AES. In a region in England, standardized face-to-face interviews were conducted with 32 farmers already participating in AES. The results show that the general attitude and acceptance of the scheme were high. Biodiversity, landscape, and natural resources were perceived to be improved by the scheme and to be valuable. An increase in weeds was perceived as an undesirable outcome. Farmers' families were ranked to have the highest and most positive social pressure on farmers' decisions to join AES. More paperwork and higher prescriptions would make it much more difficult to join the scheme. Environmental advice and generally more consideration of environmental conservation in policy were perceived to make the joining easier.

description: Nacionalni interes svih zemalja u tranziciji je pridruživanje Europskoj Uniji. Da bi se ostvario taj cilj neophodna je primjena standarda u poljoprivrednoj proizvodnji i ispunjavanje niza zahtjeva za ulazak u Europsku uniju. Od poljoprivrednih proizvođača i prerađivača zahtijeva se dodatno i cjeloživotno obrazovanje i praćenje dostignuća u znanosti, tehnici i tehnologiji, te poznavanje zakonodavstva. Nameću se zahtjevi za kontrolom hrane i primjenom standarda poput GLOBALG.A.P. u poljoprivrednoj proizvodnji. Bosna i Hercegovina u suranji s AECD i USAID organizacijama postupno uvodi GLOBALG.A.P. sustav u poljoprivrednu proizvodnju kroz projekte vezane za educiranje poljoprivrednih proizvođača......National interest of all transitional countries is joining the European Union. In order to accomplish that aim it is necessary to adopt standards in agricultural production and fulfill number of requests for joining the EU. Agricultural producers and processors need additional and lifelong education, they need to follow achievements in science, technics, technology as well as to be familiar with the legislative. At the same time, food control and adoption of standards like GLOBALG.A.P. are suggested. Bosnia and Herzegovina, in collaboration with AECD and USAID organizations, is gradually introducing GLOBALG.A.P. system into the agricultural production via projects related to education of agricultural producers.

X-ray Line Emission from Supernova Ejecta Fragments

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that fast moving isolated fragments of a supernova ejecta composed of heavy elements should be sources of K_alpha X-ray line emission of the SN nuclear-processed products. Supersonic motion of the knots in the intercloud medium will result in a bow-shock/knot-shock structure creation. Fast nonthermal particles accelerated by Fermi mechanism in the MHD collisionless shocks diffuse through a cold metallic knot, producing the X-ray emission. We modeled the X-ray emission from a fast moving knot of a mass M ~ 10^{-3} \Msun, containing about 10^{-4} \Msun of any metal impurities like Si, S, Ar, Ca, Fe. The fast electron distribution was simulated using the kinetic description. We accounted for nonlinear effects of shock modification by the nonthermal particles pressure. The K_alpha line emission is most prominent for the knots propagating through dense molecular clouds. The bow shock should be a radiative wave with a prominent infrared and optical emission. In that case the X-ray line spectrum of an ejecta fragment is dominated by the low ionization states of the ions with the metal line luminosities reaching L_x \gsim 10^{31} erg/s. High resolution XMM and Chandra observations are able to detect the line emission from the knots at distances up to a few kpcs. The knots propagating through tenuous interstellar matter are of much fainter surface brightness but long-lived. The line spectra with higher ionization states of the ions are expected in that case. Compact dense knots could be opaque for some X-ray lines and that is important for their abundances interpretation. The ensemble of unresolved knots of galactic supernovae can contribute substantially to the iron line emission observed from the Galactic Center region and the Galactic ridge.
