description: A farm simulation model known as STEP (Simulated Transitional Economic Planning) is used to examine the financial performance of a range of farms under current and projected climate in three regions of Western Australia. In two of the regions climate change is expected to cause more unfavourable production years, whilst in the other region more favourable production years are projected. Farms in regions where more adverse climate is projected are shown to experience increased business risk, in contrast to the findings for the other region. Characteristics of farms that increase their risk of business failure in the presence of projected climate change are small farm size, low initial equity and an enterprise mix that favours wool rather than crop production. For all types of farms, as would be expected, a favourable trend in the terms of trade increases farm business resilience. In the regions where adverse climate change is projected, crop dominant farms that currently have high equity appear capable of withstanding the projected adverse climate change whilst farms with similar characteristics in the other region are likely to prosper further, given their projected favourable change in climate.

description: We examine the way race and racial categories are adopted in algorithmic fairness frameworks. Current methodologies fail to adequately account for the socially constructed nature of race, instead adopting a conceptualization of race as a fixed attribute. Treating race as an attribute, rather than a structural, institutional, and relational phenomenon, can serve to minimize the structural aspects of algorithmic unfairness. In this work, we focus on the history of racial categories and turn to critical race theory and sociological work on race and ethnicity to ground conceptualizations of race for fairness research, drawing on lessons from public health, biomedical research, and social survey research. We argue that algorithmic fairness researchers need to take into account the multidimensionality of race, take seriously the processes of conceptualizing and operationalizing race, focus on social processes which produce racial inequality, and consider perspectives of those most affected by sociotechnical systems.

description: A significant amount of the data used by social scientists emanates from the U.S. Government sector through a number of agencies and programs such as Census, Labor, Education, Social Security, Health and Human Services, and more. Acquiring the additional responsibility for U.S. Government Information subsequent to having data responsibilities brought new perspectives to both areas for this librarian. Among them, a greater respect for the diversity of information, particularly data, produced and distributed by the federal government sector; an appreciation for Title 44 of the U.S. Code and its impact on information accessibility; and the challenges and opportunities for converting U.S. Government Information into an electronic, networked environment. Learning, from the 'documents' side, more about the federal government's nature and structure, new and traditional distribution channels, and nature of information available; have all improved the provision of data services to patrons.

SPECIES CHARACTERISATION. — Robust Bittium with a very slightly convex whorl profile; four regularly spaced spirals are intersected at regular distances by orthocline to very slightly prosocyrth axial ribs of similar strength with regular knobs on the intersections; six spirals on the shells base.
DISTRIBUTION. — Upper Pliocene: western Mediterranean, S. Spain (Landau et al. 2004). — Lower Pleistocene: Selsoif, NW France (this paper); central Mediterranean, Italy (Chirli & Forli 2017). — Middle Pleistocene: NSB, the Netherlands (Wesselingh et al. 2023). — Upper Pleistocene: NSB, the Netherlands (RGM collections); western Mediterranean, Balearic Islands (Cuerda Barceló 1987). Today it occurs from the North Sea to North Africa, and into the Mediterranean (Poppe & Goto 1991)
REMARKS
Currently WoRMS (2023) considers B. jadertinum a synonym of Bittium reticulatum (da Costa, 1778). The basis for their synonymy is unclear, as Verduin (1982) is given as the most recent authority in which that author clearly accepted B. jadertinum as a valid species. As summarised by Landau et al. (2004), the main differences between the two species are that B. jadertinum has four equidistant spiral cords and no varices, except possibly on the last 1.5 whorls, whereas B. reticulatum has spiral 1 and 2 closer-set and numerous varices along all teleoconch whorls. Both have a multispiral protoconch with a small nucleus. Within large Late Pleistocene samples from the southern North Sea, we are able to separate the reticulatum and jadertinum morphotypes (Wesselingh et al. 2012; 2023). The species B. pingue Landau et al., 2018, from Assemblage I of Renauleau, NW France, has similar rib architecture but is much smaller and has a wider apical angle.

description: Within an effective Lagrangian model, we present calculations for cross sections of the dilepton production in proton-proton and proton-neutron collisions at laboratory kinetic energies in 1-5 GeV range. Production amplitudes include contributions from the nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung as well as from the mechanism of excitation, propagation, and radiative decay of Delta(1232) and N*(1520) intermediate baryonic resonances. It is found that the delta isobar terms dominate the cross sections in the entire considered beam energy range. Our calculations are able to explain the data of the DLS collaboration on the dilepton production in proton-proton collisions for beam energies below 1.3 GeV. However, for incident energies higher than this the inclusion of contributions from other dilepton sources like Dalitz decay of pi0 and eta mesons, and direct decay of rho and omega mesons is necessary to describe the data.

description: Maximising nutrient use efficiency and minimising emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas nitrous oxide, could enable Australian producers of high yielding irrigated cotton to participate in the Emissions Reduction Fund. This paper reviews nitrogen (N) use in the cotton industry in Australia to date and the challenges of achieving optimal N use in commercial growing practices. The study quantifies both the social and economic parameters in a benefit-cost analysis using two scenarios: an optimal use of N fertiliser and an overuse of N fertiliser in irrigated cotton production. Results of sensitivity analysis for social and economic costs have implications for policy makers focusing on improved N management and an industry supplying an increasingly environmentally aware global market. The study also contains preliminary modelling using industry research of a cotton-N emissions abatement project under the Australian Government’s Emissions Reduction Fund.

description: Painting captions are often dry and simplistic which motivates us to describe a painting creatively in the style of Shakespearean prose. This is a difficult problem, since there does not exist a large supervised dataset from paintings to Shakespearean prose. Our solution is to use an intermediate English poem description of the painting and then apply language style transfer which results in Shakespearean prose describing the painting. We rate our results by human evaluation on a Likert scale, and evaluate the quality of language style transfer using BLEU score as a function of prose length. We demonstrate the applicability and limitations of our approach by generating Shakespearean prose for famous paintings. We make our models and code publicly available.

description: This paper describes the development of an automated technique using laser technology to estimate hip height of cattle. Body dimensions of cattle are very useful as basic descriptors, but can also be used to predict animal performance and carcass characteristics. Descriptive data used for trading needs to be objective and low cost to encourage value based transactions and assist producers to meet market specifications. Height at the hips relative to age (referred to in the industry as frame score) provides an assessment of ‘maturity type’, which determines the varying rates and sites of deposition of fat and lean tissue as an animal grows and approaches its mature size. Body dimensions such as hip height and stifle width can be easily measured manually but are labour and time consuming. An automated electronic system would make the capture of such data objective and more cost efficient. The system developed can be incorporated into typical cattle handling facilities to measure body dimensions and generate useful descriptive parameters. The principle has subsequently been extended to explore the capability of 3D camera technology to improve and expand data capture for descriptive and predictive applications.

description: Decisions about using N fertiliser rely typically on rules based on expected average pasture responses to N applied, a flawed criterion from the perspective of production economic theory. In this paper, the rationale for a web-based tool called the ‘Dairy Nitrogen Fertiliser Advisor’ (the ‘N-Advisor’) is presented. The tool uses marginal analysis to inform dairy farmers and their advisors about how a range of N applications applied to a particular paddock for a particular grazing rotation add to profits. The tool contains response functions for each Australian state and season derived from a meta-analysis of experiments in pasture yield response to nitrogenous fertiliser undertaken across Australia during the past 40 years. The response functions have the Mitscherlich form and exhibit the biologically sound diminishing returns required for the economic analysis. The N-Advisor enables the decision-maker to explore the effect of changes in fertiliser costs and the value of the extra pasture consumed on the N application that provides the minimum acceptable rate of return on investment. It also enables uncertainty associated with the fertiliser investment to be considered. The production and profit information that can be estimated using the N-Advisor has sufficient rigour and relevance to add value to decisions dairy farmers make about applying N.

description: Now that IASISST is 31 years old, the time has come to reflect upon what a Data Profession is. Recent discussions about how one becomes a "data librarian" show that there is no single route to becoming one. But, is the data profession just data librarians? Is it even a profession? In this presentation, I plan to investigate what a "profession" is, using some of the many definitions that have been proposed. I will apply these definitions and characteristics to explore whether or not "Data" is a profession. Finally, I will propose some avenues by which we can strengthen the professional qualities of "Data."

description: We address the dynamics of a single spin embedded in the tunneling barrier between two superconductors. As a consequence of pair correlations in the superconducting state, the spin displays a rich and unusual dynamics. To properly describe the time evolution of the spin we find the generalized Wess-Zumino-Witten-Novikov term in the effective action for the spin on the Keldysh contour. The superconducting correlations lead to an effective spin action which is non-local in time leading to unconventional precessions. Our predictions might be directly tested for macroscopic spin clusters.

Fundamental groups on manifolds with positive isotropic curvature

description: A central theme in Riemannian geometry is understanding the relationships between the curvature and the topology of a Riemannian manifold. Positive isotropic curvature (PIC) is a natural and much studied curvature condition which includes manifolds with pointwisequarter-pinched sectional curvatures and manifolds with positive curvature operator. By results of Micallef and Moore there is only one topological type of compact simply connected manifold with PIC; namely any such manifold must be homeomorphic to the sphere. On the other hand, there is a large class of nonsimply connected manifolds with PIC. An important open problem has been to understand the result in this direction. We show that the fundamental group of a compact manifold M^n with PIC, n geq 5, does not contain a subgroup isomorphic to \mathbb{Z} \oplus \mathbb{Z}. The techniques used involve minimal surfaces.

The financial cost accounting problematic issues are outlined which appear in case one loan is used for financing of several company goals. Financial cost capitalization procedure in domestic companies is discussed in accordance with the National Accounting Standard 31 ‘Financial costs’. Analysis and systematization of IFRS 23 ‘Borrowing costs’ requirements for financial cost capitalization procedure were made. The features of financial cost accounting are shown on practical examples. The methods are grounded for calculation of borrowing cost amount. Pro and contra arguments are given concerning financial cost capitalization. The approaches are proposed to improvement of financial cost accounting methods, which would allow the management to obtain true information about the sources of cost formation in the company. The scientific and practical aspects of financial cost accounting discussed in the article would help the accountants to orientate themselves in problematic situations which may arise during borrowing cost capitalization.

The effective Coulomb blockade of the JJ can be controlled by the tunneling current through the NIS junction leading to transistor-like characteristics. We show using phase correlation theory and numerical simulations that substantial current gain with low current noise ($i_{n}\lesssim 1$ fA/$\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$) and noise temperature ($\lesssim $ 0.1 K) can be achieved. Good agreement between our numerical simulations and experimental results is obtained.

description: Optical Fe II emission is a strong feature in quasar spectra originating in the broad-line region (BLR). The difficulty in understanding the complex Fe II pseudo-continuum has led us to search for other reliable, simpler ionic species such as Ca II. In this first part of the series, we confirm the strong correlation between the strengths of two emission features, the optical Fe II and the NIR Ca II, both from observations and photoionization modelling. With the inclusion of an up-to-date compilation of observations with both optical Fe II and NIR Ca II measurements, we span a wider and more extended parameter space and confirm the common origin of these two spectral features with our photoionization models using CLOUDY. Taking into account the effect of dust into our modelling, we constrain the BLR parameter space (primarily, in terms of the ionization parameter and local cloud density) as a function of the strengths of Fe II and Ca II emission.

description: Scientific hypotheses in a variety of applications have domain-specific structures, such as the tree structure of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), the directed acyclic graph structure of the Gene Ontology (GO), or the spatial structure in genome-wide association studies. In the context of multiple testing, the resulting relationships among hypotheses can create redundancies among rejections that hinder interpretability. This leads to the practice of filtering rejection sets obtained from multiple testing procedures, which may in turn invalidate their inferential guarantees. We propose Focused BH, a simple, flexible, and principled methodology to adjust for the application of any pre-specified filter. We prove that Focused BH controls the false discovery rate under various conditions, including when the filter satisfies an intuitive monotonicity property and the p-values are positively dependent. We demonstrate in simulations that Focused BH performs well across a variety of settings, and illustrate this method’s practical utility via analyses of real datasets based on ICD and GO.

description: Advances in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) opens venues for application such as tunnel inspection. Owing to its versatility to fly inside the tunnels, it can quickly identify defects and potential problems related to safety. However, long tunnels, especially with repetitive or uniform structures pose a significant problem for UAV navigation. Furthermore, post-processing visual data from the camera mounted on the UAV is required to generate useful information for the inspection task. In this work, we design a UAV with a single rotating camera to accomplish the task. Compared to other platforms, our solution can fit the stringent requirement for tunnel inspection, in terms of battery life, size and weight. While the current state-of-the-art can estimate camera pose and 3D geometry from a sequence of images, they assume large overlap, small rotational motion, and many distinct matching points between images. These assumptions severely limit their effectiveness in tunnel-like scenarios where the camera has erratic or large rotational motion, such as the one mounted on the UAV. This paper presents a novel solution which exploits Structure-from-Motion, Bundle Adjustment, and available geometry priors to robustly estimate camera pose and automatically reconstruct a fully-dense 3D scene using the least possible number of images in various challenging tunnel-like environments. We validate our system with both Virtual Reality application and experimentation with a real dataset. The results demonstrate that the proposed reconstruction along with texture mapping allows for remote navigation and inspection of tunnel-like environments, even those which are inaccessible for humans.

description: We observe stable propagation of spatially localized single- and double-charge optical vortices in a self-focusing nonlinear medium. The vortices are created by self-trapping of partially incoherent light carrying a phase dislocation, and they are stabilized when the spatial incoherence of light exceeds a certain threshold. We confirm the vortex stabilization effect by numerical simulations and also show that the similar mechanism of stabilization applies to higher-order vortices.

description: Quantitative data collection in the UK can be traced back to 1086 with the Domesday Survey however it is only in recent history that the acquisition, distribution and analysis of quantitative data in digital format has been possible. 1967 saw the establishment of the UK Data Archive at the University of Essex. The mid 1980s saw the emergence of Edinburgh University Data Library and Oxford Data Library (Nuffield College), and more recently the London School of Economics (LSE) Data Library and the LSE Research Laboratory Data Service. Based at tertiary education institutions these specialised libraries have evolved independently to assist researchers and teachers in the use of quantitative data for analysis and research purposes. Thus whether by design or accident the data librarian was born in the UK. In this digital age with increased IT literacy, technological exposure and expectancy the data librarian's role is ever more confusing and difficult to identify. This paper will discuss the differing areas of expertise within the UK data libraries, the role of the Data Information Specialists Committee – UK (DISC-UK), in addition to the role played by other information staff which identify them as potential or 'accidental' data librarians from 'non-data library' institutions.

description: Ready Made Garments (RMGs) industry is one of the Bangladesh’s success stories. Like many developing countries Bangladesh was encouraged in the late seventies into the garments industry. The RMGs in Bangladesh is characterised by small and medium sized privately owned enterprise. The industry has attained phenomenal growth over the past fifteen years as the sector has been earning millions of dollars by exporting garments. In the context of export oriented industry, the garment industry has expanded very fast. Therefore, the present study is initiated exploring core competencies of ready-made garments in Bangladesh samples of fifty garments’ manufacturers in Chittagong port city. Data were collected through a seven points Likert type summated rating scales of questionnaire from strongly disagree (-3) to strongly agree (+3) were adopted to explore the competencies. Sophisticated statistical model as Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) has been used. The study has identified three core competencies which are determined in RMGs manufacturers in Bangladesh. The dominant competencies are demand for work contract; opportunity seeking and risk taking.

description: One long-lasting puzzle in amorphous solids is shear localization, where local plastic deformation involves cooperative particle rearrangements in small regions of a few inter-particle distances, self-organizing into shear bands and eventually leading to the material failure. Understanding the connection between the structure and dynamics of amorphous solids is essential in physics, material sciences, geotechnical and civil engineering, and geophysics. Here we show a deep connection between shear localization and the intrinsic structures of internal stresses in an isotropically jammed granular material subject to shear. Specifically, we find strong (anti)correlations between the micro shear bands and two polarized stress fields along two directions of maximal shear. By exploring the tensorial characteristics and the rotational symmetry of force network, we reveal that such profound connection is a result of symmetry breaking by shear. Finally, we provide the solid experimental evidence of long-range correlated inherent shear stress in an isotropically jammed granular system.

Shibbolising UK Census and ESDS services
Creators: name: Bell, Lucy
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2005

description: This paper describes the investigation into an alternative and flexible access management system, based on Shibboleth, for three social science data resources. The UK Data Archive (UKDA) is the central registration hub within a dispersed network of eight, UK-based, digital data resource targets. As such, it requires target-to-target communication in order to apply the user's registration credentials to each resource, thus removing the need for the user to register with each separately or to agree more than once to any special data-related conditions. This paper will describe the preliminary work being undertaken, via the 'shibbolisation' of three resources, to place this registration system within a federated model of access control. It will also describe the target-to-target communication required and the suggested Shibboleth-enhanced registration model which could be rolled out to all eight resources. It will identify initial issues discovered by the team and compare the proposed model with other access management schemes.

Polystichum huashanicola

description: Polystichum huashanicola (W.M.Chu & Z.R.He) Li Bing Zhang, stat. nov.
 Basionym:— Polystichum daguanense Ching ex L.L.Xiang var. huashanicola Chu & He (2000: 257, as “ huashanicolum ”). Type:— CHINA. Yunnan: Zhengxiong Xian, Huashan, in fissures of limestone under shrub forest, 1950 m, 31 August 1991, W. M . Chu & G. F. Zhang 24241 (holotype PYU!).
 This species is treated as a variety of Polystichum daguanense Ching ex L.L.Xiang by Zhu & He (in Kung et al. 2001), however, the two taxa are different morphologically (Zhang & Barrington, in press). They do not seem to be closely related.
 Polystichum huashanicola occurs in northeastern Yunnan, China.
  Polystichum kangdingense H.S.Kung & Li Bing Zhang, sp. nov.  Type:— CHINA. Sichuan: Kangding County, 2400 m, 28 August 1981, Xian-Xu Kong (Hsian-Shiu Kung) 6189 (holotype CDBI!, isotype PE!).
Based on the full Latin diagnosis in Kung & Zhang (1998: 254). This species was not validly published there since no holotype is provided. By providing the type information we hereby validate this name.
Illustration: Kung & Zhang (1998: 253, pl. 3: f. 1–4.)
 Diagnosis: Kung & Zhang (1998: 254) ‘ Species affinis Polysticho submit Christ, sed laminis majoribus, bipinnatis, paleis stipitum magis latioribus, ovatis differt ’.

Issues in federated identity management
Creators: name: Shaw, Sandy
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2005

description: Interest in federated identity management schemes has grown considerably in recent years, with developments such as Liberty Alliance, Shibboleth, and WS-Security. The common goal of these schemes is to enable organisations to rely on digital credentials issued by partner organisations even if partners deploy different authentication technologies (such as passwords or digital certificates). When a user requests access to a protected resource, the user is redirected to their home institution where an authentication exchange takes place. If successful, the user is redirected back to the resource along with a set of security assertions signed by the home institution. Within the UK, the focus of interest is the Shibboleth model, developed by the Internet2 Middleware Architecture Committee for Education (MACE). A strategic decision has been made to adopt Shibboleth as the preferred solution for identity management for services in the JISC Information Environment, and for use in other contexts, including e-Science. The immediate issues are the development of trust relationships within and between federations, and to assure interoperability and widespread deployment.
Heterotic String Field Theory

description: We construct the Neveu-Schwarz sector of heterotic string field theory using the large Hilbert space of the superghosts and the multi-string products of bosonic closed string field theory. No picture-changing operators are required as in Wess-Zumino-Witten-like open superstring field theory. The action exhibits a novel kind of nonpolynomiality: in addition to terms necessary to cover missing regions of moduli spaces, new terms arise from the boundary of the missing regions and its subspaces. We determine the action up to quintic order and a subset of terms to all orders.

description: It is important to note that resources by themselves typically do not yield a competitive advantage. The organizational capabilities refer to an organization’s capacity to deploy yangible and intangible resources over time and generally in combination, and to leverage those capabilities to bring about a desired end. As we have mentioned, resourcees alone are not a basis for competitive advantage, nor are advantages sustainable over time. In same cases, a resource or capability helps a firm to increase its revenues or to lower costs but the firm derives only a temorary advantage because competitors quickly imitate or substitute for it. To respect this section, recall that resources and capabilities must be rare and valuable as well as difficult to imitate or substitute in order for a firm to attain competitive advantage that are sustainable over time.
Understanding and Improving the Wang-Landau Algorithm

description: We present a mathematical analysis of the Wang-Landau algorithm, prove its convergence, identify sources of errors and strategies for optimization. In particular, we found the histogram increases uniformly with small fluctuation after a stage of initial accumulation, and the statistical error is found to scale as $\sqrt{\ln f}$ with the modification factor $f$. This has implications for strategies for obtaining fast convergence.

description: The paper presents the results of the author's research in the postsocialist transition of the Balkan societies. It presents a summary of the results of transition in the given societies within the last 20 years. After singling out the inherent limitations of the strategy of dependent modernization, which has brought about the peripherization of economy, society and culture of the Balkan nations, the paper endeavours to give its contribution to the search for an alternative development model. It is precisely in the social democratic development strategy that the author sees the alternative to the contemporary neliberal strategy as it is within such a model that a socially responsible transition can be carried out.
