description: Crop varieties that are more competitive with weeds offer a means of reducing dependency on herbicides. On the basis of trial results, economic analysis indicates that choosing crop varieties that have stronger competitive ability against weeds can provide a clear economic advantage for farmers. In this paper, the effect of changes in seeding rate on this economic advantage is explored. The question if whether it is economic to breed for greater competitive ability is addressed by examining the economic implications for the breeding program, in terms of costs and impacts on other selection traits, of selection for competitive ability. The results of the analysis indicate that more competitive varieties can be an important tool in an integrated weed management package. However, while breeding for increased competitive ability can produce benefits for weed control, in some cases the most appropriate option is agronomic practices such as increased seeding rates. Selection for increased competitive ability in a breeding program can reduce the rate of progress with other important characteristics such as yield. Only in particular circumstances is it economic to increase selection for competitive ability within a breeding program.

description: We demonstrate an approach of exploring design spaces to simultaneously satisfy kinematics- and physics-based requirements. We present a classification of constraints and solvers to enable postponing optimization as far down the design workflow as possible. The solvers are organized into two broad classes of design space 'pruning' and 'exploration' by considering the types of constraints they can satisfy. We show that pointwise constraints define feasible design subspaces that can be represented and computed as first-class entities by their maximal feasible elements. The design space is pruned upfront by intersecting maximal elements, without premature optimization. To solve for other constraints, we apply topology optimization (TO), starting from the pruned feasible space. The optimization is steered by a topological sensitivity field (TSF) that measures the global changes in violation of constraints with respect to local topological punctures. The TSF for global objective functions is augmented with TSF for global constraints, and penalized/filtered to incorporate local constraints, including set constraints converted to differentiable (in)equality constraints. We demonstrate application of the proposed workflow to nontrivial examples in design and manufacturing. Among other examples, we show how to explore pruned design spaces via TO to simultaneously satisfy physics-based constraints (e.g., minimize compliance and mass) as well as kinematics-based constraints (e.g., maximize accessibility for machining).

description: The field of analyzing performance is very important and sensitive in particular when it is related to the performance of lecturers in academic institutions. Locating the weak points of lecturers through a system that provides an early warning to notify or reward the lecturers with warned or punished notices will help them to improve their weaknesses, leads to a better quality in the institutions. The current system has major issues in the higher education at Salahaddin University-Erbil (SUE) in Kurdistan-Iraq. These issues are: first, the assessment of lecturers' activities is conducted traditionally via the Quality Assurance Teams at different departments and colleges at the university, second, the outcomes in some cases of lecturers' performance provoke a low level of acceptance among lectures, as these cases are reflected and viewed by some academic communities as unfair cases, and finally, the current system is not accurate and vigorous. In this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization Neural Network is used to assess performance of lecturers in more fruitful way and also to enhance the accuracy of recognition system. Different real and novel data sets are collected from SUE. The prepared datasets preprocessed and important features are then fed as input source to the training and testing phases. Particle Swarm Optimization is used to find the best weights and biases in the training phase of the neural network. The best accuracy rate obtained in the test phase is 98.28 %.

description: Diphyoropa Hyman & Stanisic, 2005
 Stanisic et al. 2010: 224.
 Type species. Helix saturni Cox, 1864 —original designation.
 Diagnosis. Shell very small, coppery brown with evenly coiled whorls and flat spire. Protoconch sculpture bimodal with the first two thirds of the protoconch having broad, irregularly spaced spiral cords that weaken on the last third where broad, curved radial ridges develop and eventually dominate. Teleoconch sculpture of prominent, almost straight, widely to closely spaced radial ribs and cancellate microsculpture. Umbilicus wide to very wide Vshaped. Kidney weakly bi-lobed. Epiphallus long. Penis tubular, sculptured with longitudinal pilasters.
 Distribution and habitat. Southern outskirts of Sydney (Woronora River) mid-eastern NSW northward to the Macleay Valley, northern NSW and into south-eastern Qld; living in dry vine thicket, eucalypt woodland and forest, or suburban gardens and even wasteland where it has been found on undersides of logs, wood, rocks and dumped rubbish.
 Remarks. Distinguished by the bi-modal protoconch sculpture that consists of low fairly widely spaced spiral cords with low radial ripples developing on the last third, planispiral shell shape, flat spire, orthocline teleoconch ribs, wide V-shaped umbilicus, rounded whorls and coppery brown coloured shells. The protoconch sculpture is structurally similar to that of Cumberlandica, however, the elements in the case of Diphyoropa are low, broad spiral cords and low radial ridges. These are fundamental differences in the architecture of the sculpture which are considered to be the basis for generic separation between these two sympatric groups.
 Undescribed taxa with similar shell features (specifically protoconch sculpture) fitting the general concept of the genus occur sporadically northward along the coast and tablelands into south-eastern Qld. Stanisic et al. (2010) describe D. jonesi from south-eastern Queensland but whether or not this and the other northern NSW species truly belong to this genus has yet to be confirmed by anatomical or molecular studies except that a specimen of NN23 with a Diphyoropa -like protoconch from Iluka (AMSC.463582) belongs to the genus according to ITS-2 analyses (Fig. 5).

Analyzing and Modelling the Dimensions of Craters Formed by Dropping Balls into Various Materials

description: Craters are a physical phenomenon present across the entire universe. In this experiment, we dropped different types of balls with varying radii and densities into separate materials of different properties. After measuring the dimensions of the crater that forms, we extrapolated linear trends between the crater dimensions and the impact energy. By assuming that the crater formed in each situation had the same shape of a cone with a spherical cap moulded to the shape of the ball, we used these trends to create a Python model that estimates crater dimensions, the final volume, and plots a cross-sectional diagram of the shape of the crater. By plotting the measured and modelled volume of the crater and analyzing errors using residual plots, we were able to determine the accuracy of our model and identify trends in the crater shapes in the different materials.
Long-lived states in synchronized traffic flow. Empirical prompt and dynamical trap model

description: The present paper proposes a novel interpretation of the widely scattered states (called synchronized traffic) stimulated by Kerner's hypotheses about the existence of a multitude of metastable states in the fundamental diagram. Using single vehicle data collected at the German highway A1, temporal velocity patterns have been analyzed to show a collection of certain fragments with approximately constant velocities and sharp jumps between them. The particular velocity values in these fragments vary in a wide range. In contrast, the flow rate is more or less constant because its fluctuations are mainly due to the discreteness of traffic flow. Subsequently, we develop a model for synchronized traffic that can explain these characteristics. Following previous work (I.A.Lubashevsky, R.Mahnke, Phys. Rev. E v. 62, p. 6082, 2000) the vehicle flow is specified by car density, mean velocity, and additional order parameters $h$ and $a$ that are due to the many-particle effects of the vehicle interaction. The parameter $h$ describes the multilane correlations in the vehicle motion. Together with the car density it determines directly the mean velocity. The parameter $a$, in contrast, controls the evolution of $h$ only. The model assumes that $a$ fluctuates randomly around the value corresponding to the car configuration optimal for lane changing. When it deviates from this value the lane change is depressed for all cars forming a local cluster. Since exactly the overtaking manoeuvres of these cars cause the order parameter $a$ to vary, the evolution of the car arrangement becomes frozen for a certain time. In other words, the evolution equations form certain dynamical traps responsible for the long-time correlations in the synchronized mode.

description: Black hole formation (BHF) in hadron collisions is a subject of great interest. Hard quark-quark collisions are generally associated with the production of particles at large transverse momenta or with high multiplicities. If BHF occurs, we might expect large violations of baryon number, charge conjugation (C), parity (P), strangeness, isospin, etc. in such processes. C and P have not been well tested in hadronic interactions. I propose new tests of C and P that can be adapted to a variety of BHF scenarios. These may provide more sensitive searches for BHF or other new physics at existing colliders.

Psychological wellbeing

description: A growing literature suggests our homes have a particularly powerful symbolic and psychological significance (Graham et al., 2015). In the UK, the certainty of safe, secure, and affordable housing for the most vulnerable in our society is under threat (Schrecker and Bambra, 2015). Historically, social housing was considered the solution to the housing crisis; however, its public perception as a desirable housing tenure has changed substantially (Thompson et al., 2017). This research aimed to explore the social processes, which underpin and determine the bonds people have with their social housing, communities, identities, and relationships with society. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve people living in social housing in London. Data was analysed using Constructivist Grounded Theory methodology and a theoretical model was co-constructed. Participants described their homes as representing bonds to places, people, and histories, which provided them a sense of security, safety, and belonging. These bonds were perceived as pivotal for their psychological wellbeing and informed how they view themselves. Participants experienced social and political discourses about social housing and its inhabitants as acts of discrimination and maltreatment. They described their housing being viewed as a commodity resulting in the neglect, fracturing, and erosion of their homes, local areas, families, and communities. As a result, many discussed ways of resisting its dismantlement. The research highlights important implications for Psychologists, other healthcare professionals, social housing communities, the housing system, and the government.

We observe that the crystallographic symmetry of the film can be lowered via electron beam irradiation, leading to a rhombohedral-monoclinic transition. This transition can be attributed to the cooperating effect of the mismatch stress and the irradiation-induced thermal-stress.

description: Bellorchestia Serejo & Lowry, 2008
 Type species. Bellorchestia richardsoni Serejo & Lowry, 2008, original designation.
 Included species. Bellorchestia includes 9 species:? B. chathamensis (Hurley, 1956); B. kirki (Hurley, 1956); B. mariae sp. nov.; B. marmorata (Haswell, 1880); B. pravidactyla (Haswell, 1880); B. quoyana (Milne-Edwards, 1840); B. richardsoni Serejo & Lowry, 2008; B. spadix (Hurley, 1956); B. tumida (Thomson, 1885).
 Diagnostic description (based on male). Eyes medium (1/5 to 1/3 head length). Antenna 1 short, not longer than article 4 of antenna 2 peduncle. Antenna 2 peduncular articles well developed, incrassate; peduncular article 3 without ventral process. Labrum with robust setae. Mandible left lacinia mobilis 5-dentate. Maxilliped palp article 2 distomedial lobe well developed; article 4 reduced, button-shaped. Gnathopod 1 sub or parachelate; posterior margin of propodus with lobe covered in palmate setae. Gnathopod 2 subchelate; merus and carpus free; dactylus not modified distally. Pereopods 3–7 cuspidactylate. Pereopods 5–7 without setae along posterior margin of the dactylus.  Pereopods 6–7 sexually dimorphic , without row of short setae along posterior margin of dactyli. Pleonites 1–3 without dorsal spines. Pleopods all well developed. Epimera without vertical slits. Uropod 1 rami without apical spear-shaped setae; outer ramus slender; with marginal robust setae. Uropod 3 well developed; ramus subequal to or longer than peduncle. Telson apically incised, with 7–10+ robust setae per lobe.
 Remarks. A number of taxa in the genus Bellorchestia are still poorly known. Bellorchestia chathamensis (Hurley, 1956) should be placed in a new genus mainly because it has a well developed palmate lobe on the carpus of male gnathopod 2. Bellorchestia kirki (Hurley, 1956) is poorly described. It remains in Bellorchestia based on Hurley’s indications that it is very similar to B. tumida. Other taxa, such as B. marmorata (Haswell, 1880) and B. pravidactyla (Haswell, 1880) are badly in need of redescription.
 Bellorchestia belongs in the Orchestia group of talitrids (Lowry & Coleman 2012) that contains genera with robust setae on the outer ramus of uropod 1, a 5-dentate lacinia mobilis and more that 7 robust setae on each lobe of the telson. However, robust setae on the labrum of the upper lip, a palmate lobe only on the propodus of male gnathopod 1 and sexually dimorphic pereopods 6–7, makes it is difficult to align Bellorchestia with other genera in the Orchestia group.

To obtain exact analytical solutions of dynamic equations an analytical method based on orthogonal functions of a real argument has been proposed. Using the orthogonal Legendre functions we have found an exact analytical expression for a population probability amplitude of the level n. Various initial conditions for the excitation of N-level quantum systems have been considered.

description: Concerns about the drought of 1988 continuing on into 1989 have lead to increased interest in the use of crop insurance to mitigate the effects of low yields on farm income. This paper analyzes the selection of crop insurance yield guarantee levels and indemnity prices based on risk preferences for corn/soybean farmers in northeastern Kansas. Using stochastic dominance with respect to a function analysis, it was determined that for other than the most risk-preferring producers, some level of crop insurance is contained in the preferred set of strategies. For the most risk -averse producers, the highest yield guarantee level and indemnity price election are preferred.

description: The photonic spin Hall effect (SHE), featured by a spin-dependent transverse shift of an impinging optical beam driven by its polarization handedness, has many applications including precise metrology and spin-based nanophotonic devices. It is highly desirable to control and enhance the photonic SHE. However, such a goal remains elusive, due to the weak spin-orbit interaction of light, especially for systems with optical loss. Here we reveal a flexible way to modulate the photonic SHE via exceptional points, by exploiting the transverse shift in a parity-time (PT) symmetric system with balanced gain and loss. The underlying physics is associated with the near-zero value and abrupt phase jump of the reflection coefficients at exceptional points. We find that the transverse shift is zero at exceptional points, but it is largely enhanced in their vicinity. In addition, the transverse shift switches its sign across the exceptional point, resulting from spontaneous PT-symmetry breaking. Due to the sensitivity of transverse shift at exceptional points, our work also indicates that the photonic SHE can enable a precise way to probe the location of exceptional point in photonic systems.

description: Environmental stresses specially drought, play an important role in decreasing plant growth, particularly during germination in dry and semi dry area. To considering the effect of drought stress caused by polyethylene glycol on germination and characteristics of 2 spices of Sesamum indicum, we had done factorial and complete accidental plot with 4 treatments and 3 times repetition. Experimental treatments included osmotic potential in 4 levels (0, -4, -6, -10 bar) which was produced by polyethylene glycol 6000 and 2 sesame species (Safi Abadi and Dezfol). All data had been analyzed by SAS software and comparison of means had been done by Duncan test at 5% probable level. The results showed that, percentage and speed of all spices' germination decline by osmotic potential enhancement. Other measured parameters such as radicle and coleoptile length, dry and wet weight declined by increasing osmotic potential as well.

A number of independent lines of evidence, based on different approaches to quantization, indicate a similar short-distance dimensional reduction. I will review the evidence for this behavior, emphasizing the physical question of what one means by `dimension' in a quantum spacetime, and will discuss possible mechanisms that could explain the universality of this phenomenon.

description: This descriptive cross sectional census study identified the perceptions of Extension and Outreach employees of Iowa State University in the United States about job autonomy and control after two years of a major restructuring. Employees perceived autonomy and control over expressing views and ideas about their work and spending time on the job but perceived little influence over budget allocations and shaping organizational strategies. They felt administrators and external funding sources influenced programming. They perceived contributing most to program implementation and marketing. The findings from this study have implications for operations and programming in Extension and other organizational settings.

description: Figure S5. Community state types and gut microbial patterns. Heat map of variance stabilized counts of the 50 most abundant OTUs of the intestinal microbiome over all samples, grouped into community state types (CSTs). Based on their OTU-composition, samples were assigned to community state types (CSTs) by partitioning around medoid (PAM) clustering using Bray-Curtis distance. The optimal number of clusters (k = 4) was estimated from the gap statistic and Silhouette width validation. Members of the Lactobacillaceae family dominated the abundance profiles within CST 1. CST 2 exhibited domination by Lachnospiraceae, Erysipelotrichaceae and Ruminococcaceae members. Enterobacteriaceae, Streptococcaceae and Staphylococcacea were characteristic for CST 3. CST 4 was characterized by a high abundance of Enterococcaceae. Average Silhouette width was s(i) = 0.16 (range: -0.02 – 0.36), with CST 1 and CST 4 being the best defined clusters (s(i) = 0.23 and 0.36, respectively). A Silhouette coefficient s(i) close to 1 indicates appropriate clustering of the respective samples. Sample names at the bottom indicate patient (P) and time point (pre: pre-HSCT, d0: day of HSCT, w: week). An “a” or “b” indicates that two samples were collected from the respective patient at the same time point, but on two different days. (PDF 516 kb)

description: We present a comparison of real-space methods based on regular grids for electronic structure calculations that are designed to have basis set variational properties, using as a reference the conventional method of finite differences (a real-space method that is not variational) and the reciprocal-space plane-wave method which is fully variational. We find that a new definition of the finite differences method [P. Maragakis, J. Soler, and E. Kaxiras, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{64}, 193101 (2001)] satisfies one of the two properties of variational behaviour at the cost of larger errors than the conventional finite differences method. On the other hand, a technique which represents functions in a number of plane-waves which is independent of system size, follows closely the plane-wave method and therefore also the criteria for variational behaviour. Its application is only limited by the requirement of having functions strictly localised in regions of real-space but this is a characteristic of most modern real-space methods as they are designed to have a computational cost that scales linearly with system size.

description: Although a large number of degradation models for industrial systems have been proposed by researchers over the past few decades, the modeling of impacts of maintenance actions has been mostly limited to single-component systems. Among multi-component models, past work either ignores the general impact of maintenance, or is limited to studying failure interactions. In this article, we propose a multivariate imperfect maintenance model that models impacts of maintenance actions across sub-systems while considering continual operation of the unit. Another feature of the proposed model is that the maintenance actions can have any degree of impact on the sub-systems. In other words, we propose a multivariate recurrent event model with stochastic dependence, and for this model we present a two-stage approach which makes estimation scalable, thus practical for large-scale industrial applications. We also derive expressions for the Fisher information so as to conduct asymptotic statistical tests for the maintenance impact parameters. We demonstrate the scalability through numerical studies, and derive insights by applying the model on real-world maintenance records obtained from oil rigs. In the online supplemental material, we provide the following: (i) sketch of proof for likelihood, (ii) convergence analysis, (iii) contamination analysis, and (iv) a set of R codes to implement the current method.

description: The applications of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) have recently been extended by the development of counters with time resolution below 100 ps sigma for minimum ionising particles. Applications to HEP experiments have already taken place and many further applications are under study. In this work we address the operating principles of such counters along with some present challenges, with emphasis on counter aging.

description: In reliability engineering, obtaining lifetime information for highly reliable products is a challenging problem. When a product quality characteristic whose degradation over time can be related to lifetime, then the degradation data can be used to estimate the first-passage (failure) time distribution and the Mean-Time-To-Failure (MTTF) for a given threshold level. To model the degradation data, the commonly used Lévy process modeling approach assumes that the degradation measurements are linearly related to time throughout the lifetime of the product. However, the degradation data may not be linearly related to time in practice. For this reason, trend-renewal-process-type models can be considered for degradation modeling in which a proper trend function is used to transform the degradation data so that the Lévy process approach can be applied. In this article, we study several parametric and semiparametric models and approaches to estimate the first-passage time distribution and MTTF for degradation data that may be not linearly related to time. A Monte Carlo simulation study is used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed methods. In addition, a model selection procedure is proposed to select among different models. Two numerical examples of lithium-ion battery degradation data are applied to illustrate the proposed methodologies.

description: Applied magnetic fields underlie exotic quantum states, such as the fractional quantum Hall effect and Bose-Einstein condensation of spin excitations. Superconductivity, on the other hand, is inherently antagonistic towards magnetic fields. Only in rare cases can these effects be mitigated over limited fields, leading to reentrant superconductivity. Here, we report the unprecedented coexistence of multiple high-field reentrant superconducting phases in the spin-triplet superconductor UTe2. Strikingly, we observe superconductivity in the highest magnetic field range identified for any reentrant superconductor, beyond 65 T. These extreme properties reflect a new kind of exotic superconductivity rooted in magnetic fluctuations and boosted by a quantum dimensional crossover.
