description: As oyster reefs continue to decline worldwide, interest has turned to restoration and aquaculture as ways to sustain the services derived from these ecologically and economically valuable habitats. While biogenic oyster reefs support a variety of ecological functions, it remains unclear whether aquaculture and its associated infrastructure can provide equivalent levels of functioning. Here, we compare consumption rates by fish and invertebrate predators, a key indicator of energy transfer between trophic levels, between reef and aquaculture habitats for the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) in the Western Atlantic. We deployed a standardized dried squid prey item (‘Squidpops’) in three different structured settings: biogenic oyster reefs, on-bottom aquaculture, and off-bottom aquaculture. For each habitat treatment, we also implemented an adjacent control in nearby bare (unstructured) sediment. These assays were repeated across three seasons at twelve locations spanning 900 km of coastline. We found that consumption rates were contingent on the presence and type of structure: they were highest near off-bottom floating bags, and the difference between structured habitats and unstructured controls was also greatest for this treatment. Moreover, at large temporal and spatial scales, consumption rates increased with increasing temperature, and independently declined with increasing latitude. Our study revealed that certain types of aquaculture support comparable or greater consumption rates than natural reefs, suggesting an important role for this novel structured habitat in maintaining coastal food webs.

description: This research presents a novel methodology to determine runoff water retention volumes that allow the design of storage tanks for storm sewer overflows. It is based on the use of the Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) to generate hydrographs and runoff pollutographs of a fictional urban basin. Three pollutants (TS, BOD5 and TN) are simulated for a given set of rains and the values taken by a proposed set of characterization variables for the pollutographs obtained are analyzed. Correlation and determination coefficients that exist between the different variables are analyzed while also performing a multivariate characterization using PCA and cluster analysis. In the case study presented, using IDF curves of the studied city, a probability of occurrence (Tr) is assigned to the values taken by the proposed characterization variables. To assess the impact and identify the most unfavorable pollutographs within the set of selected rains, impact evaluation variables (IEV’s) are established, based on the proposed characterization variables and by simulating the discharge to a receiving water body (river with initial concentration and constant flow). Finally, a storm sewer overflow is simulated, deriving a maximum flow for purification, and dimensioning retention tanks for different fractions of the total volume of runoff to control the maximum values of a specific IEV impact evaluation variable. Taking a design return period Trssd ≥ 10 years, the results obtained in the study case were 146.50 m3/ha imp for a 100% retention of the total runoff volume and 117.20 m3/ha imp for an 80% retention.

description: We discuss the possibility of enhancing the chiroptical response from molecules uniformly distributed around nanostructures that sustain localized plasmon resonances. We demonstrate that the average optical chirality in the near field of any plasmonic nanostrucure cannot be significantly higher than that in a plane wave. This conclusion stems from the quasi-static nature of the nanoparticle-enhanced electromagnetic fields and from the fact that, at optical frequencies, the magnetic response of matter is much weaker than the electric one.

description: The foam-aerated biofilm reactor (FABR) is a novel biofilm process that can simultaneously remove carbon and nitrogen from wastewater. A porous polyurethane foam sheet forms an interface between wastewater and aerated water, making it a counter-diffusional biofilm process similar to the membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR). However, it is not clear how biofilm develops the foam interior, and how this impacts mass transfer and performance. This research explored biofilm development within the foam sheet and determined whether advective transport within the sheet played a significant role. Foam sheets with 2-, 4.5- and 9-mm thicknesses were explored. Oxygen, nitrate, nitrite and ammonia profiles in the sheet were measured using microsensors, and biofilm imaging studies were carried out using optical coherence tomography (OCT). On the foam’s aerated side, a dense nitrifying biofilm formed. Beyond the aerobic zone, much less biomass was observed, with a high porosity foam-biofilm layer. The higher effective diffusivity within the foam for the 4- and 9-mm sheets suggested advective transport within the foam channel structures. Using an effective diffusivity factor in conventional 1-D biofilm models reproduced the measured substrate concentration profiles within the foam. Four different practical conditions were modelled. The maximum TN removal efficiency was about 70% and a nitrogen removal flux of 1.25 gN.m−2.d−1. We conclude that mass transfer resistance occurred primarily in the dense, nitrifying layer near the aerated side. The rest of the foam sheet was porous, allowing the advective mass transfer.

Environmental law

description: There is no accurate, reasonable data to record war fatalities regarding the dead and paralyzed combatants and civilians, the devastation of physical property, and the amount of environmental degradation in Afghanistan. Afghanistan fails to consider the environmental challenges as the cost of war. The country cannot disregard this issue. The country passed environmental law after seven years of the interim government. Furthermore, the law does little to deter ecoterrorism and those who endanger the ecosystem in the state. The study considers how war has fuelled catastrophic environmental degradation that has resulted in land contamination, forest destruction, resource looting, and climate change, forcing the mass migration of people within and across borders and creating threats to human health. The Fourth Geneva Convention is a set of international laws the United Nations has already adopted to lessen the environmental damage caused by armed conflict. This law has not, however, stemmed the war's environmental harm. To provide a better explanation than what is now available and, on its subtext, what the social renovation model needs to bear to stand the test of time and challenges, we would engage in the argument and contextualize it with the research related to the battle against the background in this study. This existing study is employed a doctrinal legal approach in which part of the literature will be reviewed to acquire the necessary data using normative approaches. The current research is limited to environmental degradation caused by armed conflict post-2001.

description: Samarium-cobalt alloys are used as materials for powerful magnets with relatively high Curie temperatures. Samarium is a valuable and expensive material because it is one of a group of rare earth elements. In order to utilize this rare earth resource in a sustainable society, it is necessary to recover, reuse, and recycle rare earth elements. With this in mind, a new process for recovering neodymium phosphate from neodymium-iron mixed aqueous solutions has recently been reported, avoiding the difficulties reported with conventional methods. Given that rare earth phosphates are a major component of rare earth ores, this new process was proposed to recover them as phosphates. In this method, neodymium phosphate was selectively precipitated from a neodymium-iron mixture in a two-step process with an adjusted pH value. In this study, we attempted to selectively precipitate samarium phosphate from a mixed solution of transition metals using this two-step precipitation method. The advantage of this method is that the samarium compound can be separated from other metal salts without the use of high temperatures or special equipment. Optimal conditions were determined by evaluating the precipitates by molar ratio, color hue, UV-visible reflectance spectra, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy of the precipitates obtained. In Step 1, the pH was adjusted using sodium hydroxide to remove cobalt, iron, and copper hydroxides other than samarium. In Step 2, after adding phosphoric acid, the pH was adjusted so that a precipitate of samarium phosphate was formed.

description: The turbulent motion within molecular clouds is a key factor controlling star formation. Turbulence supports molecular cloud cores from evolving to gravitational collapse and hence sets a lower bound on the size of molecular cloud cores in which star formation can occur. On the other hand, without a continuous external energy source maintaining the turbulence, such as in molecular clouds, the turbulence decays with an energy dissipation time comparable to the dynamic timescale of clouds, which could change the size limits obtained from Jean's criterion by assuming constant turbulence intensities. Here we adopt scaling relations of physical variables in decaying turbulence to analyze its specific effects on the formation of stars. We find that the decay of turbulence provides an additional approach for Jeans' criterion to be achieved, after which gravitational infall governs the motion of the cloud core. This epoch of turbulence decay is defined as cloud core relaxation. The existence of cloud core relaxation provides a more complete understanding in the competition between turbulence and gravity on the dynamics of molecular cloud cores and star formation.

description: This work is interested in studying the removal of 27 harmful pollutants from drinking water in the Rosetta branch of the River Nile by advanced treatment processes (i.e. photo-catalysis under natural conditions and normal pH of surface water). The concentration levels of the selected pesticides (11 compounds) in raw water by the spiking method ranged from 1.57–0.40 µg/L, while the concentration of pharmaceuticals (10 compounds) ranged from 41.56–5.95 µg/L and the herbicides (6 compounds) in the range of 1.89–1.37 µg/L. For this purpose, TiO2-Hombikat/alumina (T/A) was prepared by a two-step method; sonication followed by the hydrothermal method. Cu/TiO2-Hombikat/alumina was prepared hydrothermally (H-Cu/T/Al) and by the wet impregnation method (Ma-Cu/T/Al). The prepared materials were characterized by XRD and SEM. The use of advanced treatment could successfully remove selected pollutants. In the case of pharmaceutical residues, the prepared catalysts showed a powerful efficiency in the complete removal of sulfamethazine, while only (T/A) and (H-Cu/T/Al) showed such an efficiency in the complete removal of diclofenac sodium. On the other hand, lower efficiencies were observed with caffeine (17.99% (T/A) and 24.05% (H-Cu/T/Al)). In the case of pesticides, a high removal of pendimethalin (93.77%) using (H-Cu/T/Al) and 86.03% by using (Mb-Cu/T/Al), whereas lower efficiencies were observed for T/A toward the degradation of aldicarb (15.6%) (l) and H-Cu/T/Al (26.07%). In the case of herbicides, the catalysts showed no more than 57% efficiency in the removal of these pollutants.

description: The recently introduced two- and three-parameter ($p,q$)- and ($p,q,μ$)-deformed extensions of the Heisenberg algebra were explored under the condition of their connectedness with the respective nonstandard (other than known ones) deformed quantum oscillator algebras. In this paper we show that such connection dictates certain new $η(N)$-pseudo-Hermitian conjugation rule between the creation and annihilation operators, with $η(N)$ depending on the particle number operator $N$. In turn, that leads to the related $η(N)$-pseudo-Hermiticity of the position/momentum operators, though the involved Hamiltonian is Hermitian. Different possible cases are studied, and some interesting features implied by the use of such $η(N)$-based conjugation rule are emphasized.

Vacuum stability in the $U(1)_χ$ extended model with vanishing scalar potential at the Planck scale

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

description: We investigate the vacuum stability in a scale invariant local $U(1)_χ$ model with vanishing scalar potential at the Planck scale. We find that it is impossible to realize the Higgs mass of 125\,GeV while keeping the Higgs quartic coupling $λ_H$ to be positive in all energy scale, that is the same as the standard model. Once one allows $λ_H<0$, the lower bounds of the $Z'$ boson mass are obtained through the positive definiteness of the scalar mass squared eigenvalues, while the bounds are smaller than the LHC bounds. On the other hand, the upper bounds strongly depend on the number of relevant Majorana Yukawa couplings of the right-handed neutrinos $N_ν$. Considering decoupling effects of the $Z'$ boson and the right-handed neutrinos, the condition of the singlet scalar quartic coupling $λ_ϕ>0$ gives the upper bound in $N_ν=1$ case, while it does not constrain $N_ν=2$ and 3 cases. Especially, we find that $Z'$ boson mass is tightly restricted for $N_ν=1$ case as $M_{Z'} \lesssim 3.7\,{\rm TeV}$.

description: Aims. The aim of this paper is to analyse the previously discovered discontinuity of the periodicity of the GeV $γ$-ray emission of the radio-loud X-ray binary LS I +61°303 and to determine its physical origin. Methods. We used wavelet analysis to explore the temporal development of periodic signals. The wavelet analysis was first applied to the whole data set of available Fermi-LAT data and then to the two subsets of orbital phase intervals $Φ= 0.0 - 0.5$ and $Φ= 0.5 - 1.0$. We also performed a Lomb-Scargle timing Analysis. We investigated the similarities between GeV $γ$-ray emission and radio emission by comparing the folded curves of the Fermi-LAT data and the Green Bank Interferometer radio data. Results. During the epochs when the timing analysis fails to determine the orbital periodicity, the periodicity is present in the two orbital phase intervals $Φ= 0.0 - 0.5$ and $Φ= 0.5 - 1.0$. That is, there are two periodical signals, one towards periastron (i.e., $Φ= 0.0 - 0.5$) and another one towards apoastron ($Φ= 0.5 - 1.0$). The apoastron peak seems to be affected by the same orbital shift as the radio outbursts and, in addition, reveals the same two periods $P_1$ and $P_2$ that are present in the radio data. Conclusions. The $γ$-ray emission of the apoastron peak normally just broadens the emission of the peak around periastron. Only when it appears at $Φ\approx 0.8 - 1.0$, because of the orbital shift, it is enough detached from the first peak to become recognisable as a second orbital peak, which is the reason why the timing analysis fails. Two $γ$-ray peaks along the orbit are predicted by the two-peak accretion model for an eccentric orbit, that was proposed by several authors for LS I +61°303.

description: This work is interested in studying the removal of 27 harmful pollutants from drinking water in the Rosetta branch of the River Nile by advanced treatment processes (i.e., photo-catalysis under natural conditions and normal pH of surface water). The concentration levels of the selected pesticides (11 compounds) in raw water by the spiking method ranged from 1.57 to 0.40 µg/L, while the concentration of pharmaceuticals (10 compounds) ranged from 41.56 to 5.95 µg/L and the herbicides (6 compounds) in the range of 1.89-1.37 µg/L. For this purpose, TiO2-Hombikat/alumina (T/A) was prepared by a two-step method; sonication followed by the hydrothermal method. Cu/TiO2-Hombikat/alumina was prepared hydrothermally (H-Cu/T/Al) and by the wet impregnation method (Ma-Cu/T/Al). The prepared materials were characterized by XRD and SEM. The use of advanced treatment could successfully remove selected pollutants. In the case of pharmaceutical residues, the prepared catalysts showed a powerful efficiency in the complete removal of sulfamethazine, while only (T/A) and (H-Cu/T/Al) showed such an efficiency in the complete removal of diclofenac sodium. On the other hand, lower efficiencies were observed with caffeine (17.99% (T/A) and 24.05% (H-Cu/T/Al)). In the case of pesticides, a high removal of pendimethalin (93.77%) using (H-Cu/T/Al) and 86.03% by using (Mb-Cu/T/Al), whereas lower efficiencies were observed for T/A toward the degradation of aldicarb (15.6%) (l) and H-Cu/T/Al (26.07%). In the case of herbicides, the catalysts showed no more than 57% efficiency in the removal of these pollutants.

description: The unphysical spin-2 massive degrees of freedom in higher derivative gravity may be either massive unphysical ghosts or tachyonic ghosts. In the last case there is no Planck-scale threshold protecting vacuum cosmological solutions from instabilities. Within the anomaly-induced action formalism the photon-driven IR running of the coefficient of the Weyl-squared term makes the ghost eventually becoming tachyon, that should produce a gravitational explosion of vacuum. This effect is stable under higher loop corrections and takes place also in known versions of perturbative quantum gravity. However, the contribution of massless fields in the far IR are not the same in flat and de~Sitter spaces. In the asymptotically deSitter case one can observe a kind of IR decoupling, which protects the cosmological solution from the future tachyonic instabilities.

description: Daten sind in zentralen Facetten des modernen Lebens von zunehmender Bedeutung: In der wissenschaftlichen Welt, in der Berufswelt und in der gesellschaftlichen Welt. Junge, aufstrebende Köpfe so auszubilden, dass sie in diesen Facetten höchsten Standards entsprechen, ist der Auftrag der Hochschulen, insbesondere der Universitäten. Dazu gehört natürlich auch die Vorbereitung auf hervorragende Leistungen in diesen datengetriebenen Welten. In den letzten Jahren hat sich im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs die Unterscheidung zwischen zwei verschiedenen Arten der datenbezogenen Ausbildung durchgesetzt: Data Science und Data Literacy. Auf der ganzen Welt entsteht eine Vielzahl von Studienprogrammen und -angeboten. Diese Programme unterscheiden sich trotz gemeinsamer Label erheblich in ihrem Bildungsinhalt, d.h. es ist eine hohe Pluralität zu beobachten. Wir wollen diese Pluralität portraitieren, die Rolle untersuchen, die sie spielen könnte, und plädieren für die Etablierung einer "Educational Essenz" unter Beibehaltung des hohen Grades an Flexibilität, Anpassungsfähigkeit und Pluralität. Als potentieller Teil dieser Essenz wird eine Fertigkeit namens Data Self-Empowerment identifiziert. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass Data Science und Data Literacy noch immer die Turbulenzen ihrer Entstehung als Studienfächer erleben und beide noch immer durch rasche technologische und methodische Entwicklungen vorangetrieben werden, werden die Dozenten vorerst mit einem gewissen Maß an Dialektik zurechtkommen müssen, die dies mit sich bringt.

description: This paper studies the effects of local threat on cultural and economic assimilation of refugees, exploiting plausibly exogenous variation in their allocation across German regions between 2013 and 2016. We combine novel survey data on cultural preferences and economic outcomes of refugees with corresponding information on German respondents, and construct a threat index that integrates contemporaneous and historical variables. On average, refugees assimilate both culturally and economically. However, while refugees assigned to more hostile regions converge to German culture more quickly, they do not exhibit faster economic assimilation. Our evidence suggests that refugees exert more assimilation effort in response to local threat, but that higher discrimination prevents them from integrating more quickly in more hostile regions.

Analysis of Branch Misses in Quicksort

description: The analysis of algorithms mostly relies on counting classic elementary operations like additions, multiplications, comparisons, swaps etc. This approach is often sufficient to quantify an algorithm's efficiency. In some cases, however, features of modern processor architectures like pipelined execution and memory hierarchies have significant impact on running time and need to be taken into account to get a reliable picture. One such example is Quicksort: It has been demonstrated experimentally that under certain conditions on the hardware the classically optimal balanced choice of the pivot as median of a sample gets harmful. The reason lies in mispredicted branches whose rollback costs become dominating. In this paper, we give the first precise analytical investigation of the influence of pipelining and the resulting branch mispredictions on the efficiency of (classic) Quicksort and Yaroslavskiy's dual-pivot Quicksort as implemented in Oracle's Java 7 library. For the latter it is still not fully understood why experiments prove it 10% faster than a highly engineered implementation of a classic single-pivot version. For different branch prediction strategies, we give precise asymptotics for the expected number of branch misses caused by the aforementioned Quicksort variants when their pivots are chosen from a sample of the input. We conclude that the difference in branch misses is too small to explain the superiority of the dual-pivot algorithm.
