Personal reflections from EDWARD OSMUND ROYLE REYNOLDS CBE. 3 February 1933 — 24 April 2017

description: Edward Osmund Royle Reynolds was the founding father of neonatal medicine in the United Kingdom and a major leader in the field worldwide; he was a key advisor to government for a decade. He was one of the first paediatricians to specialize in the care of the newborn. He brought to the field a new emphasis on scientific medicine and intellectual rigour with an adventurous investigative and collaborative spirit. Known as Os by his colleagues, he inspired a team of clinicians and scientists who contributed to major advances in our understanding of lung disease in preterm infants and of neurological insults arising in the perinatal period that have contributed to the markedly improved survival and developmental outcomes observed in the twenty-first century compared with those of the 1950s and 1960s. The whole-body cooling, now widely utilized in the management of perinatal asphyxia, owes its introduction to the ground-breaking research utilizing magnetic resonance spectroscopy in animal and newborn studies initiated by Os. His enthusiasm for new ideas was often in evidence as was the breadth of his interests, knowledge and support. His wider influence is his legacy of the reports to government in which he was involved and is seen today in the National Neonatal Audit Programme run by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health since 2006.

description: Policymakers are concerned about nitrogen and phosphorus export to water bodies. Exports may be reduced by paying farmers to adopt practices to reduce runoff or by paying performance incentives tied to estimated run-off reductions. We evaluate the cost-effectiveness of practice and performance incentives for reducing nitrogen exports. Performance incentives potentially improve farm-level and allocative efficiencies relative to practice incentives. However, the efficiency improvements can be undermined by baseline shifts when growers adopt crops that enhance the performance payments but cause more pollution. Policymakers must carefully specify rules for performance-incentive programs and payments to avoid such baseline shifting.

Diritto di Resistenza

description: La resistenza è stata spesso collegata ad atteggiamenti antisociali, distruttivi, ideologie reazionarie o rivoluzionarie, insolite e improvvise esplosioni di violenza e scoppi emotivi; tuttavia, voglio aggiungere a questa concettualizzazione sostenendo che la resistenza ha anche il potenziale per essere riproduttiva, plurale e fluida, e integrata nella vita sociale quotidiana. Al livello più elementare, vorrei dimostrare che la resistenza è malleabile ed evolutiva, e che è un fenomeno dalle molte facce. Storicamente, la resistenza è stata in gran parte associata ad atteggiamenti antisociali, distruttività, ideologie reazionarie o rivoluzionarie, insolite e improvvise esplosioni di violenza e scoppi emotivi. La resistenza ha il potenziale per trasformare costruttivamente le società e cambiare la storia. Inutile dire che non esiste una definizione o una categorizzazione della resistenza, e sarebbe un atto di ambizione egemonica rivendicare una tale definizione finale. Ciò che serve è invece un insieme di opzioni praticabili. Suggerendo le proprietà distintive della resistenza e allo stesso tempo mantenendo la sua pluralità di forme in contesti diversi, cerchiamo di applicare un pragmatismo sufficiente per mostrare le variazioni empiriche della resistenza, evitando di presentare una definizione così ampia da rendere il concetto privo di significato e confuso.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — One sexually mature, unmated specimen, IRScNB, I.G. 32392, slide 11.251.03b (first 14 segments); station 14 (Appendix).
REMARKS
This specimen can be characterized by tubular to quadrangular atria, 78 µm long, 57 µm wide (length/width = 1.4), with thin muscular layer (2.3-4.0 µm thick), short proximal ducts, 12 µm long, with small, conical, external penes, 8.8 µm long. Atria are covered by discrete groups of prostate cells. There are two pairs of spermathecae in XI and XII with large, ovoid ampullae and short (15 µm) ducts. Posterior blood vessels cannot be studied on this anterior fragment.
Among Trichodrilus species with tubular atria and two pairs of spermathecae, T. leruthi Hrabě, 1939, T. intermedius (Fauvel, 1903) and T. tacensis Hrabě, 1963 are probably the closest species to this specimen; however, atria of those species are slender (length/width = 2.4) and larger, and they do not have atrial ducts. Trichodrilus sp. 1 is probably a new species. Unfortunately, the scarcity of material and its suboptimal state of conservation prevent us from describing this taxon into more detail, or to formalize a taxonomic decision.

description: We shall study in this paper the Lipschitz type stabilities and convergence rates of Tikhonov regularization for the recovery of the radiativities in elliptic and parabolic systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The Lipschitz type stability estimates are derived. Due to the difficulty of the verification of the existing source conditions or nonlinearity conditions for the considered inverse radiativity problems in high dimensional spaces, some new variational source conditions are proposed. The conditions are rigorously verified in general dimensional spaces under the Lipschitz type stability estimates and the reasonable convergence rates are achieved.

description: Dieser Beitrag berichtet von einer Fallstudie zum wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten mit Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen. Der Fokus der Untersuchung lag auf den Aktivitäten Notieren, Exzerptproduktion und Literaturverwaltung bei qualitativ-hermeneutisch arbeitenden Geisteswissenschaftlerinnen. Das Ergebnis legt nahe, dass vorhandene Literaturverwaltungssoftware nicht zum mentalen Modell der Geisteswissenschaftlerinnen passt, da dieses Notizen und Exzerpte im Mittelpunkt eines bibliografischen Eintrags sehen. Entsprechend sollten die Digital Humanities bei der Entwicklung zukünftiger Werkzeuge das Notieren und die Literaturverwaltung sowie die Verknüpfung beider Aktivitäten stärker in den Fokus setzen. Zur Verifizierung der Erkentnisse aus der Fallstudie sind weitere quantitative Studien notwendig.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Heptatomispa kesseli Uhmann, 1932
 Published record. Bocaina (UΗආൺඇඇ 1932).
 Distribution. Brazil (São Paulo).
 Remarks. UΗආൺඇඇ (1932) described the genus Heptatomispa with a single species H. kesseli but formally did not mention that it is the type of the genus. Later on, UΗආൺඇඇ (1940) published a list of type species for the genera he established in his earlier publications without original designation of the type species. Subsequently, UΗආൺඇඇ (1957) listed the generic name with year 1940 and considered its 1932 appearance a nomen nudum; this was followed until recently (e.g., Sඍൺංඇൾඌ 2002). However, UΗආൺඇඇ (1932) combined description of a new genus and a single new nominal species assigned to it and provided them with ‘n. gen.’ and ‘n. sp.’, respectively, thus conditions of the Article 13.4. are fulfilled and the name is valid from the 1932 description (ICZN 1999).

description: Farm-to-hospital (FTH) programs can potentially improve the economy of local communities and preserve the environment. Research on adoption of farm-to-hospital (FTH) programs is extremely limited in the agricultural and applied economics literature. Using data from our 2012 regional FTH program survey of hospital food-service directors in the Northeastern United States and from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this study estimates a logit model to determine factors that influence a hospital’s decision to adopt an FTH program. The empirical results indicate that specific hospital characteristics and agricultural factors significantly influence a hospital’s decision to adopt.

description: We present ~103 ks of Chandra observations of the galaxy cluster SPT-CLJ0528-5300 (SPT0528, z=0.768). This cluster harbors the most radio-loud (L_1.4GHz = 1.01 x 10^33 erg/s/Hz) central AGN of any cluster in the South Pole Telescope (SPT) SZ survey with available X-ray data. We find evidence of AGN-inflated cavities in the X-ray emission, which are consistent with the orientation of the jet direction revealed by ATCA radio data. The combined probability that two such depressions -- each at ~1.4-1.8sigma significance, oriented ~180 degrees apart and aligned with the jet axis -- would occur by chance is 0.1%. At >10^61 erg, the outburst in SPT0528 is among the most energetic known in the universe, and certainly the most powerful known at z>0.25. This work demonstrates that such powerful outbursts can be detected even in shallow X-ray exposures out to relatively high redshifts (z~0.8), providing an avenue for studying the evolution of extreme AGN feedback. The ratio of the cavity power (P_cav = 9.4+/-5.8 x 10^45 erg/s) to the cooling luminosity (L_cool = 1.5+/-0.5 x 10^44 erg/s) for SPT0528 is among the highest measured to date. If, in the future, additional systems are discovered at similar redshifts with equally high P_cav/L_cool ratios, it would imply that the feedback/cooling cycle was not as gentle at high redshifts as in the low-redshift universe.

description: Extensive DMRG calculations for spin S=1/2 and S=3/2 disordered antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains show a rather distinct behavior in the two cases. While at sufficiently strong disorder both systems are in a random singlet phase, we show that weak disorder is an irrelevant perturbation for the S=3/2 chain, contrary to what expected from a naive application of the Harris criterion. The observed irrelevance is attributed to the presence of a new correlation length due to enhanced end-to-end correlations. This phenomenon is expected to occur for all half-integer S > 1/2 chains. A possible phase diagram of the chain for generic S is also discussed.

description: A simple and straightforward protocol has been accomplished for synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines by reacting 5-amino-1-phenyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (1) and β-enaminoketones (2) promoted by Iron(III)chloride. This protocol was also able to produce quinolines (5) by the reaction of O-nitrobenzaldehydes and β-enaminoketones. Simple reaction conditions, high compatibility and excellent yields are the advantages of this protocol.

description: We study the average shape of a fluctuation of a time series x(t), that is the average value _T before x(t) first returns, at time T, to its initial value x(0). For large classes of stochastic processes we find that a scaling law of the form _T = T^αf(t/T) is obeyed. The scaling function f(s) is to a large extent independent of the details of the single increment distribution, while it encodes relevant statistical information on the presence and nature of temporal correlations in the process. We discuss the relevance of these results for Barkhausen noise in magnetic systems.

description: Agriculture in the Aral Sea basin is the main consumer of water resources and due to the current agricultural management practices inefficient water usage causes huge losses of freshwater resources. There is huge potential to save water resources in order to reach a more efficient water use in irrigated areas. Therefore, research is required to reveal the mechanisms of hydrological fluxes in irrigated areas. This paper focuses on estimation of one of the crucial components in the water balance of irrigated areas - phreatic evaporation (Ep), i.e. evaporation from (shallow) groundwater - using stable isotopes of water. Our main objective was to estimate the rate of phreatic evaporation on sites with different soil texture and ground water tables (GWT) and investigate the relationship between these environmental parameters and the Ep rate. Soil samples were collected in various soil depths from irrigated areas in Ferghana Valley (Uzbekistan). The soil water from these samples was extracted via a cryogenic extraction method and analyzed for the isotopic ratio of the water isotopes (2H and 18O) based on a laser spectroscopy method (DLT 100, Los Gatos USA). A total of 18 soil profiles in fields under cotton have been analyzed. Estimations of phreatic evaporation rates were evaluated in dependence of soil texture and groundwater table. Annual amounts of water losses via phreatic evaporation were calculated between 104 to 349 mm, accounting for 35.1 % of mean irrigation water. Ep rates significantly increase with decreasing depth to GWT. There also exist difference of Ep rate between different soil texture classes with lower rates on sandy and loamy soils as and higher rates on clay. We conclude that site specific groundwater level managing can reduce phreatic losses substantially, providing an efficient and easy adaptable way to improve irrigation and leaching practices.

description: Due to strong changes in general economic conditions and increasing market volatility, a higher level of investments and disinvestments in the dairy sector can be observed. Therefore, the simultaneous analysis of firms’ investment and disinvestment decisions under consideration of uncertainty and market interventions is of high relevance. In this paper, a flexible real options market model is applied to the German dairy sector. The model considers disinvestment besides investment options and, moreover, allows the integration and assessment of different market interventions that are relevant to the dairy sector. According to the results, production ceilings and investment subsidies are preferable to price floors because the welfare is less reduced for a given stimulation of the willingness to invest. Moreover, it is shown that not considering disinvestment options, which in reality often exist, can lead to incorrect valuations of investment strategies at firm level and incorrect policy impact analyses at macroeconomic level. Aufgrund von starken Veränderungen in den politischen Rahmenbedingungen und zunehmend volatiler Märkte nehmen sowohl Investitionen als auch Desinvestitionen im Milchsektor in den letzten Jahren deutlich zu. Aus diesem Grund ist die simultane Analyse von Investitions- und Desinvestitionsentscheidungen landwirtschaftlicher Unternehmen unter Berücksichtigung von Unsicherheit und Marktinterventionen von besonderer Relevanz. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird ein flexibles Realoptionsmodell auf den deutschen Milchsektor angewandt. Das Modell berücksichtigt neben Investitionsoptionen auch Desinvestitionsoptionen und erlaubt des Weiteren die Integration und Bewertung unterschiedlicher Marktinterventionen, die für den Milchsektor relevant sind. Entsprechend der Ergebnisse sind sowohl Produktionsobergrenzen als auch Investitionszulagen gleichsam Preisuntergrenzen vorzuziehen, da die sektorale Wohlfahrt für eine gegebene Stimulierung der Investitionsbereitschaft weniger stark eingeschränkt wird. Außerdem kann gezeigt werden, dass die Nicht-Berücksichtigung von Desinvestitionsoptionen, die in der Realität häufig vorliegen, zu fehlerhaften Investitionsentscheidungen auf einzelbetrieblicher Ebene und fehlerhaften Politikfolgenabschätzungen auf sektoraler Ebene führen kann.

description: The Madagascar Jacana Actophilornis albinucha (Jacanidae) is an endemic shorebird found in the threatened wetlands of western Madagascar. This species is presumed to exhibit classical polyandry; however, few data are available to support that assumption. More generally, a lack of basic understanding of this species hinders conservation efforts. We conducted the most extensive study of the Madagascar Jacana to date, and report on its: 1) distribution, population size and density; 2) degree of sexual size dimorphism; and 3) phylogenetic position. The surveys were conducted at 54 lakes, between January and October in 2016. Madagascar Jacana were found at 22 lakes, and within these were distributed at a mean density of 3.5 ± 0.74 [SE] individuals per hectare of surveyed habitat. We estimate the global population size to be between 975 and 2 064 individuals, and habitat destruction appears to be the main threat to the species. Females were significantly larger than males, consistent with reports for other Jacanidae species. Using a mitochondrial DNA fragment, we expanded the Jacanidae genetic phylogeny, and confirmed that Madagascar Jacana is the sister species to the African Jacana Actophilornis africanus. Further studies are urgently needed to thoroughly re-assess the threat status and population trend of the Madagascar Jacana.

description: We present results from mid-infrared imaging of Uranus at wavelengths of 13.0 micron and 18.7 micron, sensing emission from the stratosphere and upper troposphere, acquired using the VISIR instrument at the Very Large Telescope (VLT), September 4-October 20, 2018. Using a combination of inverse and forward modeling, we analyze these northern mid-spring (L_s~46) images and compare them to archival data to assess seasonal changes since the 1986 southern solstice and subsequent equinox. We find the data are consistent with little change (< 0.3 K) in the upper tropospheric temperature structure, extending the previous conclusions of Orton et al (2015) well past equinox, with only a subtle increase in temperature at the emerging north pole. Additionally, spatial-temporal variations in 13 micron stratospheric emission are investigated for the first time, revealing meridional variation and a hemispheric asymmetry not predicted by models. Finally, we investigate the nature of the stratospheric emission and demonstrate that the observed distribution appears related and potentially coupled to the underlying tropospheric emission six scale heights below. The observations are consistent with either mid-latitude heating or an enhanced abundance of acetylene. Considering potential mechanisms and additional observations, we favor a model of acetylene enrichment at mid-latitudes resulting from an extension of the upper-tropospheric circulation, which appears capable of transporting methane from the troposphere, through the cold trap, and into the stratosphere for subsequent photolysis to acetylene.

Time-Reversed Gamma-Ray Burst Light Curve Characteristics as Transitions between Subluminal and Superluminal Motion

description: We introduce a simple model to explain the time-reversed and stretched residuals in gamma-ray burst (GRB) pulse light curves. In this model an impactor wave in an expanding GRB jet accelerates from subluminal to superluminal velocities, or decelerates from superluminal to subluminal velocities. The impactor wave interacts with the surrounding medium to produce Cherenkov and/or other collisional radiation when traveling faster than the speed of light in this medium, and other mechanisms (such as thermalized Compton or synchrotron shock radiation) when traveling slower than the speed of light. These transitions create both a time-forward and a time-reversed set of light curve features through the process of Relativistic Image Doubling (RID). The model can account for a variety of unexplained yet observed GRB pulse behaviors including the amount of stretching observed in time-reversed GRB pulse residuals and the relationship between stretching factor and pulse asymmetry. The model is applicable to all GRB classes since similar pulse behaviors are observed in long/intermediate GRBs, short GRBs, and x-ray flares. The free model parameters are the impactor's Lorentz factor when moving subluminally, its Lorentz factor when moving superluminally, and the speed of light in the impacted medium.

description: Scattering of femtosecond laser pulses on resonant transmission and reflection gratings made of dispersive (Drude metals) and dielectric materials is studied by a time-domain numerical algorithm for Maxwell's theory of linear passive (dispersive and absorbing) media. The algorithm is based on the Hamiltonian formalism in the framework of which Maxwell's equations for passive media are shown to be equivalent to the first-order equation, $\partial Ψ/\partial t = {\cal H}Ψ$, where ${\cal H}$ is a linear differential operator (Hamiltonian) acting on a multi-dimensional vector $Ψ$ built of the electromagnetic inductions and auxiliary matter fields describing the medium response. The initial value problem is then solved by means of a modified time leapfrog method in combination with the Fourier pseudospectral method applied on a non-uniform grid that is constructed by a change of variables and designed to enhance the sampling efficiency near medium interfaces. The algorithm is shown to be highly accurate at relatively low computational costs. An excellent agreement with previous theoretical and experimental studies of the gratings is demonstrated by numerical simulations using our algorithm. In addition, our algorithm allows one to see real time dynamics of long leaving resonant excitations of electromagnetic fields in the gratings in the entire frequency range of the initial wide band wave packet as well as formation of the reflected and transmitted wave fronts.

description: UV curing of photopolymerizable monomers, like (meth)acrylates, has been utilized for coatings for more than half a century and more recently in further developed areas such as tissue engineering. However, these monomers have major disadvantages, e.g., high irritancy and cytotoxicity, which leads to limited use in tissue engineering regarding health issues. Vinyl esters (VE) and vinyl carbonates (VC) can compete with (meth)acrylates in terms of material properties and have significantly lower toxicity, but lack in cost efficient synthesis methods. The purpose of this communication is to establish new pathways to overcome this drawback. It was shown that VEs can be synthesized either by vinyloxy trimethylsilane or by acetaldehyde in excellent yields. Moreover, a new method to synthesize vinyl chloroformate as precursor for VCs in lab scale was evolved by a catalyzed reaction of vinyloxy trimethylsilane with a phosgene solution. Finally, the cytotoxicity tests showed auspicious results.

description: Most large galaxies harbor supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in their centers, and galaxies merge. Consequently, binary SMBHs should be common in galactic nuclei. However, close binaries of SMBH (CB-SMBHs) with sub-parsec separation cannot be imaged directly using current facilities. Some indirect signatures, such as periodic signals in light curves and double peaks in emission-line profile, have been used to find CB-SMBH candidates, but ambiguities still exist and no definitive conclusions can be made. We have recently proposed a new method focusing on kinematic signatures that can be derived from reverberation mapping of CB-SMBHs, one that offers a promising avenue to address this important problem. In this paper, we calculated models for a wide range of parameters, but BLRs of two BHs are close but still not merged. The purpose of this supplementary paper is to provide an atlas of two-dimensional transfer functions of CB-SMBHs with a wide range of orbital and geometrical parameters to aid more efficient identification of CB-SMBH candidates in reverberation mapping data.

description: Rural America, over time, will become less distinct with respect to policies and institutions, and increasingly operate by the same set of rules and constraints that apply to the larger, urban-dominated, society. At what point will many rural institutions (such the Farm Credit Services, and the government-subsidized electricity and telephone services) cease to exist as separate institutions serving the unique needs of rural residents? Rural America will increasingly need to deal with environmental constraints comparable to what now exists in urban areas. Rural America must not become simply a convenient place for urban dwellers to store their solid waste!

description: Experimental and numerical studies of the velocity field of dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates are presented. The formation process after phase imprinting as well as the propagation of the emerging soliton are investigated using spatially resolved Bragg-spectroscopy of soliton states in Bose-Einstein condensates of Rubidium87. A comparison of experimental data to results from numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation clearly identifies the flux underlying a dark soliton propagating in a Bose-Einstein condensate. The results allow further optimization of the phase imprinting method for creating collective exitations of Bose-Einstein condensates.

description: Tax incentives by state and local governments to attract industrial development are undergoing another round of public criticism in the news media. There are those who argue that any form of economic incentive in an attempt to entice businesses to locate in a particular state or community is unwarranted. Others argue that in order to compete, many tax breaks and other incentives are not only justified, but essential. This is a view that lies between these extremes. In some instances, economic incentives make sense. However, each potential economic development package made in an effort to encourage a firm to locate within a state or local community must be very carefully evaluated.
Encumbering harvest rights to protect marine environments: a model of marine conservation easements

description: We adapt the concept of a conservation easement to a marine environment and explore its use to achieve conservation goals. Although marine environments generally are not owned, those who use them for commercial fishing often are regulated. These regulations grant harvesters rights to use marine environments in specified ways, and the possibility of encumbering these rights to achieve conservation goals creates a potential role for marine easements. We examine this potential under alternative fishery management regimes and find, generally, that marine easements tend to be most effective when harvest rights are delineated most fully. Our analysis suggests ways that marine easements can have flexibility and transactions cost advantages over other approaches to achieve marine conservation goals. We also propose ways in which the design of laws allowing marine easements should follow, or depart from, the design of laws authorising conservation easements on land.
