description: Fishes of the genus Oreochromis (tilapia), have spread from areas where they occur naturally, and have become established in numerous water bodies worldwide. A survey of the natural and artificial surface water bodies of Barbados was conducted to determine the extent to which they have been colonized by tilapia. A secondary aim of the study was to document the history and rationale for the introduction of tilapia into Barbados. It was found that, since their introduction into Barbados in the 1950s, Oreochromis spp. have become established in several water bodies in Barbados. Reproductive populations may be found in brackish-water swamps, in natural and artificial ponds and in tanks. The reasons for the introduction of tilapia into Barbados include aquatic weed control, mosquito control, ornamental purposes, fish farming and research.

description: We investigate the $D\rightarrow 4$ limit of the $D$-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, where the limit is taken with $\tildeα=(D-4)\, α$ kept fixed and $α$ is the original Gauss-Bonnet coupling. Using the ADM decomposition in $D$ dimensions, we clarify that the limit is rather subtle and ambiguous (if not ill-defined) and depends on the way how to regularize the Hamiltonian or/and the equations of motion. To find a consistent theory in $4$ dimensions that is different from general relativity, the regularization needs to either break (a part of) the diffeomorphism invariance or lead to an extra degree of freedom, in agreement with the Lovelock theorem. We then propose a consistent theory of $D\rightarrow 4$ Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with two dynamical degrees of freedom by breaking the temporal diffeomorphism invariance and argue that, under a number of reasonable assumptions, the theory is unique up to a choice of a constraint that stems from a temporal gauge condition.

Reflections on Reflexions: I. Light Echoes in Type Ia Supernovae
Creators: name: Patat, F.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the last ten years, observational evidences about a possible connection between Type Ia Supernovae (SNe) properties and the environment where they explode have been steadily growing. In this paper I discuss, from a theoretical point of view but with an observer's perspective, the usage of light echoes (LEs) to probe the CSM around SNe of Type Ia since, in principle, they give us a unique opportunity of getting a three-dimensional description of the SN environment. In turn, this can be used to check the often suggested association of some Ia's with dusty/star forming regions, which would point to a young population for the progenitors. After giving a brief introduction to the LE phenomenon in single scattering approximation, I derive analytical and numerical solutions for the optical light and colour curves for a few simple dust geometries. A fully 3D multiple scattering treatment has also been implemented in a Monte Carlo code, which I have used to investigate the effects of multiple scattering. In particular, I have explored in detail the LE colour dependency from time and dust distribution, since this is a promising tool to determine the dust density and derive the effective presence of multiple scattering from the observed properties. Finally, again by means of Monte Carlo simulations, I have studied the effects of multiple scattering on the LE linear polarization, analyzing the dependencies from the dust parameters and geometry. Both the analytical formalism and MC codes described in this paper can be used for any LE for which the light curve of the central source is known.

description: In this paper, we investigate jamming-resilient UAV path planning strategies for data collection in Internet of Things (IoT) networks, in which the typical UAV can learn the optimal trajectory to elude such jamming attacks. Specifically, the typical UAV is required to collect data from multiple distributed IoT nodes under collision avoidance, mission completion deadline, and kinematic constraints in the presence of jamming attacks. We first design a fixed ground jammer with continuous jamming attack and periodical jamming attack strategies to jam the link between the typical UAV and IoT nodes. Defensive strategies involving a reinforcement learning (RL) based virtual jammer and the adoption of higher SINR thresholds are proposed to counteract against such attacks. Secondly, we design an intelligent UAV jammer, which utilizes the RL algorithm to choose actions based on its observation. Then, an intelligent UAV anti-jamming strategy is constructed to deal with such attacks, and the optimal trajectory of the typical UAV is obtained via dueling double deep Q-network (D3QN). Simulation results show that both non-intelligent and intelligent jamming attacks have significant influence on the UAV's performance, and the proposed defense strategies can recover the performance close to that in no-jammer scenarios.

description: This study had its origins in a research proposal submitted to the Open University by Dr Eric Wade, the provisional title being 'The North East Coalfields Facing Change: the Social and Economic Consequences of Pit Closures". The proposal was accepted and an Open University Regional Research Studentship awarded. The research was conducted between October 1993 and November 1996. This study would not have been possible without the help and support of a number of people. In particular I would like to thank Mike Peel, Kel Beavan and Jim Perry of the Westoe Colliery Campaign Group; Eric and Marlene Wade, Kath Avery and Christine Clark for their support, help and friendship over the last three years. Finally, thanks to the men from Westoe who agreed to participate in the research. The study describes the experiences of a small sample of men from Westoe Colliery in South Shields within a comprehensive conceptual framework, that is rather than taking the closure as its starting point this study attempts to understand the importance and relevance of redundancy in terms of the men's life experience. For this reason the men's reasons for entering mining and their subsequent attachment to work are considered as is the increasing dissatisfaction with work experienced following the closure announcement. This study seeks to add to our understanding of the process of redundancy and the way in which redundancy was achieved with relative ease. As Wood and Dey (1983) have noted reactions to redundancy are, of course, affected by the current state of the labour market but they are also affected by other factors. The role of redundancy payments is examined and it is found that such payments have an extremely important role in easing the process of redundancy, however they cannot be considered in isolation from other factors that served to constrain the workers' choices. Redundancy is a far more complex process than many studies have suggested and cannot be understood without considering how previous experiences. influence workers' perceptions of events and their reaction to them. The labour market experiences of the redundant men and the role of British Coal Enterprise are also examined and this study, in common with others, questions BCE's claims of success in 'outplacing' redundant miners. The men's experiences are considered in the context of Government and employers' attempts to increase flexibility. It is found that redundant miners, like an increasing proportion of Britain's workforce, are experiencing increasing insecurity both in and out of employment.

description: This study examined the relationships of five self-report assessment measures and university students' drug experimentation across nine drug categories. A total of 74 undergraduate psychology students, 53 females and 21 males participated in the study. The test battery included forms A and B of the Sixteen Personality Factors (16PF), the MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale (MAC) of the MMPI, Costa and McCrae's Five- Factor Model of personality, and the Sensation Seeking Scales (SSS). Segal's (1973) Alcohol-Drug Use Research Survey (ADRS) was employed as the drug-experimentation measure. Drug categories included alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, caffeine, cocaine, hallucinogens, marijuana, narcotics, and tobacco. Two series of MANOVAS were computed, one using both forms of the 16PF, and the other employing the five-factor model, the MAC and SSS scales, for each of the nine drug categories. With regard to the 16PF, alcohol and tobacco users were found to be significantly different than non-users of either drug. However, no clear pattern of results surfaced. Significant relationships with drug use for the set of variables consisting of the Five-Factor model, MAC, and SSS scale scores were obtained. Differences were found between users and nonusers of amphetamines, barbiturates, cocaine, and hallucinogens. A similar pattern for users was found, whereby users could be characterized as high sensation seekers who are more neurotic and less agreeable.

description: We present a derivation of the sharp-interface limit of a generic fluctuating phase-field model for solidification. As a main result, we obtain a sharp-interface projection which presents noise terms in both the diffusion equation and in the moving boundary conditions. The presented procedure does not rely on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, and can therefore be applied to account for both internal and external fluctuations in either variational or non-variational phase-field formulations. In particular, it can be used to introduce thermodynamical fluctuations in non-variational formulations of the phase-field model, which permit to reach better computational efficiency and provide more flexibility for describing some features of specific physical situations. This opens the possibility of performing quantitative phase-field simulations in crystal growth while accounting for the proper fluctuations of the system.

description: The existence of an anti-decuplet of pentaquark particles has been predicted some year ago within the chiral soliton model. In the last year, several experimental groups have reported evidence for a S=+1 baryon resonance, with mass ranging from 1.52 and 1.55 GeV and width less than 25 MeV, by looking at the invariant mass of the $K N$ system. This resonance, has been identified with the lowest mass of the anti-decuplet, the $Θ^+$. At the same time, there are a number of experiment, mostly at high energies, that report null results. An overview of the experimental results so far obtained will be given here together with a review of the second generation experiments currently ongoing and planned at Jefferson Lab Hall B.

Structural studies of the regulation of gelsolin by small ligands
Creators: name: Urosev, Dunja
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Gelsolin regulates the dynamic rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton by severing actin filaments (F-actin) and capping the newly generated barbed filament ends. Calcium ions and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP₂), in turn, control these activities. Ca²⁺ -binding within gelsolin primes the protein for binding actin filaments and, during the process, causes drastic rearrangement of its six domains (G1-G6). The significance of specific Ca²⁺ -binding events in this activation process is slowly emerging. A structural basis for the ability of PIP₂ to inhibit ab initio interactions of gelsolin with actin filaments, as well as to induce dissociation of gelsolin already bound to F-actin, remains largely unknown. The reported binding of ATP to gelsolin has been suggested to modulate gelsolin-actin interactions. Association of gelsolin with both of these phosphate-rich molecules is sensitive to the presence of calcium ions. In the projects described in this thesis, I report results of X-ray crystallographic and computational molecular docking experiments to investigate aspects of the regulation of gelsolin by ATP, PIP₂ and calcium ions. Successful introduction of ATP into crystals of inactive gelsolin identify for the first time detailed features of its molecular interactions with gelsolin. Computations confirm the binding of ATP to the observed site to be strong and specific. Demonstration that the ATP-binding site spans both the N- and C-terminal halves of the protein explains the decreased affinity of gelsolin for this ligand in the presence of calcium ions, which induce separation of the halves as part of the activation process. Computational docking experiments suggest residual affinity of activated gelsolin for ATP to be retained at the G2-G3 interface with actin. We propose a model for PIP₂ -binding in the same surface-exposed pocket in gelsolin that is associated with binding ATP phosphates. The model concurs with both the previously reported binding of PIP₂ in this vicinity on gelsolin and the higher affinity of gelsolin for PIP₂ than for ATP. The model, together with the structure of the G1-G3/actin complex, provide insight into the roles of putative PIP₂ -binding sites in both the N- and C-terminal halves of gelsolin. Lastly, exchangeability of metal ions in crystals of G1-G3/actin reflects the transient nature of Ca²⁺ -binding in G2 and helps to explain the loss of local structural stability in a gelsolin mutant that experiences enhanced susceptibility to proteolysis.

description: Statement of the problem: Socket preservation after tooth extractions is considered a challenge in oral surgery daily practice. Dental extraction is a traumatic procedure which leads to loss of alveolar bone. The alveolar bone remodeling, which occurs after tooth extraction, lead to vertical and horizontal bone volume. In this given study, 8 patients per group were placed Human amniotic membrane and hyaluronic acid gel in their extracted sockets and the results were reviewed after 7days, 14 days, 21 days, 28 days.The aim of this study was to preserve the extraction sockets by using two different biomaterials, Human amniotic membrane, and hyaluronic acid gel, and compared their effect on soft tissue healing after socket preservation procedure.materials and methods: Careful extraction of the selected tooth was performed. Then, the extraction sockets were randomly allocated into three groups. Group I was the control group while Group II was a study group where the HAM (Human Amnion membrane) was packed into the extraction socket and group III where the sockets was packed by hyaluronic acid gel carried on gel foam. Soft tissue healing was assessed 7 days after procedure, 14, 21 and 28 days after extraction. Postoperative pain, wound size, and soft tissue healing. Data collected was tabulated and statistically analyzed.Results: The results of this study have shown that HAM has proven its effect, as it initiates faster wound healing of the extraction socket.Conclusion: In conclusion, it should be mentioned that both study groups were higher than control group according to our results and the use of HAM and HA showed better results than leaving the sockets without any treatment. Moreover, accessibility and lower costs can be considered as the advantages of HAM in comparison with other membranes. This article shall reveal the effectiveness of the HAM in rapid wound healing of the augmented extraction socket.

description: The stationary nonlinear Schroedinger equation, or Gross-Pitaevskii equation, is studied for the cases of a single delta potential and a delta-shell potential. These model systems allow analytical solutions, and thus provide useful insight into the features of stationary bound, scattering and resonance states of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. For the single delta potential, the influence of the potential strength and the nonlinearity is studied as well as the transition from bound to scattering states. Furthermore, the properties of resonance states for a repulsive delta-shell potential are discussed.

We show that existence of international pressure or foreign lobby changes a government's final decision on trade policy, and trade policy in countries with proportional electoral system is more protectionist than in countries with majoritarian electoral system. Moreover, lobbies pay more to affect the trade policy outcomes in countries with proportional representation systems.

description: The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between fund deposit and profitability of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study adopted the panel research design and data were extracted from the floor of the Nigeria Exchange Group (NGX) from 2016-2022. The population comprise of twelve (12) listed deposit money banks on the Nigeria stock Exchange and descriptive analysis were used to establish relationship between the variables of the data while the panel least square was employed to draw inference on the phenomenon under review.  The result from the inferential statistics revealed that Current deposit has positive and significant impact on the profitability of return on asset (ROA) of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Savings deposit has no significant impact on profitability of return on asset (ROA) of deposit money banks in Nigeria; Time deposit has positive and significant influence on profitability of return on asset (ROA) of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study concluded therefore that a bank’s deposits have positive impact on profitability of deposit money banks in Nigeria.  Specifically, current deposit and time deposit have positive impact on profitability of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study recommended that deposit money banks in Nigeria should focus more on growing their current and time deposit as a strategy in increasing their performance

description: We introduce the concept of Floquet odd-frequency superconducting pairs and establish their emergence in time-periodic conventional superconductors, where the continuous time-translation invariance is broken. We show that these exotic Cooper pairs are possible because the Floquet modes in time-periodic systems provide an additional index (a Floquet index) that broadens the classification of pair symmetries, with no analog in the static regime. Our results thus put forward a different route for odd-frequency superconducting pairs and pave the way for Floquet engineered dynamical superconducting states.

description: We present a theoretical model in which the existence of radiation-induced zero-resistance states is analyzed. An exact solution for the harmonic oscillator wave function in the presence of radiation, and a perturbation treatment for elastic scattering due to randomly distributed charged impurities, form the foundations of our model. Following this model most experimental results are reproduced, including the formation of resistivity oscillations, their dependence on the intensity and frequency of the radiation, temperature effects, and the locations of the resistivity minima. The existence of zero-resistance states is thus explained in terms of the interplay of the electron MW-driven orbit dynamics and the Pauli exclusion principle.

These are the first ever such calculations involving fermionic atoms. We find that for the low initial vibrational states considered here (v less than or equal to 3), the quenching rates are not suppressed for fermionic atoms. This contrasts with the situation found experimentally for molecules formed via Feshbach resonances in very high vibrational states.

description: With the expansion of electronic publishing, a new dynamics of scientific articles dissemination was initiated. Nowadays, many works are widely disseminated even before publication, in the form of preprints. Another important new element concerns the views of published articles. Thanks to the availability of respective data by some journals, such as PLoS ONE, it became possible to develop investigations on how scientific works are viewed along time, often before the first citations appear. This provides the main theme of the present work. More specifically, our research was motivated by preliminary observations that the view profiles along time tend to present a piecewise linear nature. A methodology was then delineated in order to identify the main segments in the view profiles, which allowed several related measurements to be derived. In particular, we focused on the inclination and length of each subsequent segment. Basic statistics indicated that the inclination can vary substantially along subsequent segments, while the segment lengths resulted more stable. Complementary joint statistics analysis, considering pairwise correlations, provided further information about the properties of the views. In order to better understand the view profiles, we performed respective multivariate statistical analysis, including principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering. The results suggest that a portion of the polygonal views are organized into clusters or groups. These groups were characterized in terms of prototypes indicating the relative increase or decrease along subsequent segments. Four respective distinct models were then developed for representing the observed segments. It was found that models incorporating joint dependencies between the properties of the segments provided the most accurate results among the considered alternatives.

description: Static spherically symmetric distributions of electrically counterpoised dust (ECD) are used to construct solutions to Einstein-Maxwell equations in Majumdar--Papapetrou formalism. Unexpected bifurcating behaviour of solutions with regard to source strength is found for localized, as well as for the delta-function ECD distributions. Unified treatment of general ECD distributions is accomplished and it is shown that for certain source strengths one class of regular solutions approaches Minkowski spacetime, while the other comes arbitrarily close to black hole solutions.

Bianchi type I universe with viscous fluid

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the evolution of a homogeneous, anisotropic Universe given by a Bianchi type-I cosmological model filled with viscous fluid, in the presence of a cosmological constant $Λ$. The role of viscous fluid and $Λ$ term in the evolution the BI space-time is studied. Though the viscosity cannot remove the cosmological singularity, it plays a crucial part in the formation of a qualitatively new behavior of the solutions near singularity. It is shown that the introduction of the $Λ$ term can be handy in the elimination of the cosmological singularity. In particular, in case of a bulk viscosity, it provides an everlasting process of evolution ($Λ< 0$), whereas, for some positive values of $Λ$ and the bulk viscosity being inverse proportional to the expansion, the BI Universe admits a singularity-free oscillatory mode of expansion. In case of a constant bulk viscosity and share viscosity being proportional to expansion, the model allows oscillatory mode accompanied by an exponential growth even with a negative $Λ$. Space-time singularity in this case occurs at $t \to -\infty$.

description: This Research Report chronicles the evolution of thinking on water productivity in the research agenda of IWMI and in the broader irrigation literature over the past 20 years. It describes the origins of the concept and the methodological developments, its operationalization through applied research, and some lessons learned over the two decades of research. This report further highlights how a focus on agricultural water productivity has brought greater attention to critical water scarcity issues, and the role of agricultural water management in supporting broader development objectives such as increasing agricultural production, reducing agricultural water use, raising farm-level incomes, and alleviating poverty and inequity. Yet, reliance on a single-factor productivity metric, such as agricultural water productivity defined as “crop per drop,” in multi-factor and multi-output production processes can mask the complexity of agricultural systems as well as the trade-offs required to achieve desired outcomes. The findings from this retrospective underscore the limitations of single-factor productivity metrics while also highlighting opportunities to support more comprehensive approaches to address water scarcity concerns and, ultimately, achieve the broader development objectives.

Indemnity Payments in Agricultural Insurance: Risk Exposure of EU States
Creators: name: Gulseven, Osman

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: General Economics (econ.GN)
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: This study estimates the risk contributions of individual European countries regarding the indemnity payments in agricultural insurance. We model the total risk exposure as an insurance portfolio where each country is unique in terms of its risk characteristics. The data has been collected from the recent surveys conducted by the European Commission and the World Bank. Farm Accountancy Data Network is used as well. 22 out of 26 member states are included in the study. The results suggest that the EuroMediterranean countries are the major risk contributors. These countries not only have the highest expected loss but also high volatility of indemnity payments. Nordic countries have the lowest indemnity payments and risk exposure.

description: We analyse the so-called small-world network model (originally devised by Strogatz and Watts), treating it, among other things, as a case study of non-linear coupled difference or differential equations. We derive a system of evolution equations containing more of the previously neglected (possibly relevant) non-linear terms. As an exact solution of this entangled system of equations is out of question we develop a (as we think, promising) method of enclosing the ``exact'' solutions for the expected quantities by upper and lower bounds, which represent solutions of a slightly simpler system of differential equation. Furthermore we discuss the relation between difference and differential equations and scrutinize the limits of the spreading idea for random graphs. We then show that there exists in fact a ``broad'' (with respect to scaling exponents) crossover zone, smoothly interpolating between linear and logarithmic scaling of the diameter or average distance. We are able to corroborate earlier findings in certain regions of phase or parameter space (as e.g. the finite size scaling ansatz) but find also deviations for other choices of the parameters. Our analysis is supplemented by a variety of numerical calculations, which, among other things, quantify the effect of various approximations being made. With the help of our analytical results we manage to calculate another important network characteristic, the (fractal) dimension, and provide numerical values for the case of the small-world network.
