description: We investigate the dynamics of a lattice soliton on a monatomic chain in the presence of damping and external forces. We consider Stokes and hydrodynamical damping. In the quasi-continuum limit the discrete system leads to a damped and forced Boussinesq equation. By using a multiple-scale perturbation expansion up to second order in the framework of the quasi-continuum approach we derive a general expression for the first-order velocity correction which improves previous results. We compare the soliton position and shape predicted by the theory with simulations carried out on the level of the monatomic chain system as well as on the level of the quasi-continuum limit system. For this purpose we restrict ourselves to specific examples, namely potentials with cubic and quartic anharmonicities as well as the truncated Morse potential, without taking into account external forces. For both types of damping we find a good agreement with the numerical simulations both for the soliton position and for the tail which appears at the rear of the soliton. Moreover we clarify why the quasi-continuum approximation is better in the hydrodynamical damping case than in the Stokes damping case.

description: В настоящее время пластик является одним из самых распространённых в жизни человека материалов и одной из новых и серьезных угроз антропогенного загрязнения окружающей среды. При этом влияние на здоровье человека пластика и его компонентов остается ещё недостаточно изученным. Целью настоящей работы был анализ современных научных данных, посвященных оценке риска здоровья человека от влияния пластика и его производных, а также выделения наиболее уязвимых систем организма человека к воздействию пластика и его компонентов. Сконцентрированные в пластике химические вещества при их деградации в водной среде попадают в трофические цепи, становясь причиной изменения функций ряда систем организма человека: эндокринной, репродуктивной, иммунной, нервной и других. Результаты обзора литературы позволяют заключить, что для снижения риска влияния и профилактики воздействия пластика, помимо снижения темпов его промышленного производства и разработки более эффективных механизмов его утилизации, необходимо
накопление как экспериментальных, так и натурных научных данных по изучению негативных эффектов влияния пластика на здоровье человека в целом и различные системы организма, в частности.

description: Two of the most compelling issues facing astrophysics and cosmology today are to understand the nature of the dark matter that pervades the universe and to understand the apparent absence of cosmological antimatter. For both issues, sensitive measurements of cosmic-ray antiprotons and positrons, in a wide energy range, are crucial. Many different mechanisms can contribute to antiprotons and positrons production, ranging from conventional reactions up to exotic processes like neutralino annihilation. The open problems are so fundamental (i.e.: is the universe symmetric in matter and antimatter ?) that experiments in this field will probably be of the greatest interest in the next years. Here we will summarize the present situation, showing the different hypothesis and models and the experimental measurements needed to lead to a more established scenario.

description: This experiment examined the effect of UVA/UVB irradiation of Vigna radiata germination and on the growth of the radicle/hypocotyl of the seeds, thereby testing the effects of global warming and climate change on modern agriculture. The effect of UV radiation on the depletion of the ozone layer has been thoroughly examined for many decades, thus catalyzing global warming [9]. There were three treatments: control, low UVA/UVB and high UVA/UVB exposure. Germination percentage and length of the radicle data was measured over a period of 48 hours to see whether the UVA/UVB irradiation promotes or inhibits germination time and growth. In this experiment, germination was defined as the first evidence of the emergence of a radicle and the length of the radicle was measured at 12-hour time intervals. It was hypothesized that UV radiation will speed up germination but prolonged exposure will inhibit or hinder the growth of the seeds. In support of the hypothesis, the results showed that low UVB radiation does have a positive effect on the average length of a radicle. However, at high UVB, it was found that growth was inhibited.

description: Graph embedding is a transformation of vertices of a graph into set of vectors. Good embeddings should capture the graph topology, vertex-to-vertex relationship, and other relevant information about graphs, subgraphs, and vertices. If these objectives are achieved, they are meaningful, understandable, and compressed representations of networks. They also provide more options and tools for data scientists as machine learning on graphs is still quite limited. Finally, vector operations are simpler and faster than comparable operations on graphs. The main challenge is that one needs to make sure that embeddings well describe the properties of the graphs. In particular, the decision has to be made on the embedding dimensionality which highly impacts the quality of an embedding. As a result, selecting the best embedding is a challenging task and very often requires domain experts. In this paper, we propose a ``divergence score'' that can be assign to various embeddings to distinguish good ones from bad ones. This general framework provides a tool for an unsupervised graph embedding comparison. In order to achieve it, we needed to generalize the well-known Chung-Lu model to incorporate geometry which is interesting on its own rights. In order to test our framework, we did a number of experiments with synthetic networks as well as real-world networks, and various embedding algorithms.

description: Geosesarma De Man, 1892
 Type species. Sesarma (Geosesarma) nodulifera De Man, 1892, subsequent designation by Serène & Soh (1970).
 Remarks. Members of Geosesarma De Man, 1892, are popularly known as “vampire crabs” because of the bright yellow eyes of a number of species (Rademacher & Mengedoht, 2011; Ng et al., 2015). The genus currently contains 58 species (cf. Ng et al., 2008; Schubart & Ng, 2014; Ng, 2015; Ng et al., 2015; Manuel-Santos et al., 2016; Ng & Lemaitre, 2017); almost all of which are semiterestrial in habits, living in and around freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia. They are regarded as secondary freshwater crabs by some authors (Yeo et al., 2008) although most species have large eggs and practice completely abbreviated larval development (cf. Ng, 1988).
 Geosesarma foxi (Kemp, 1918) belongs to a group of Geosesarma species generally characterised by their quadrate carapaces, slender and relatively long ambulatory legs, with the exopod of the third maxilliped not possessing a flagellum, and that usually occur in highlands. Ng (1988) treated the two Malaysian species, Geosesarma foxi ( Kemp, 1918) from Langkawi Island (Kedah), and G. serenei Ng, 1986, from Bukit Larut in Perak; commenting that the taxonomy of the material referred to “ G. foxi ” from southern Peninsular Thailand needed to be revised in the future. A third species, which may be allied to G. foxi and G. serenei, is G. krathing Ng & Naiyanetr, 1992, described from Krathing Waterfall in Chantaburi Province in eastern Thailand, near the Cambodian border. While this species shares the quadrate carapace and long slender ambulatory legs of G. foxi and G. serenei (and their male first gonopods are also superficially similar), the exopod of its third maxilliped has a well-developed flagellum (Ng & Naiyanetr, 1992: fig. 1B).

 Type species. Dictyoropa eurythma (Hedley, 1924) n. comb. —here designated.
 Etymology. From the Greek diktyos = net, referring to the net-like protoconch sculpture.
 Diagnosis. Shell very small, cinnamon brown, spire slightly sunken. Protoconch sculpture reticulate consisting of prominent, widely spaced, broad, continuous spiral cords that intersect with widely spaced radial ribs and ridges. Teleoconch sculpture of numerous, prominent, quite uniformly spaced, slightly sinuate, opisthocline radial ribs. Umbilicus wide cup-shaped.
 Range and habitat. From the Clarence River drainage, NSW north to the Queensland Border; found in rainforest on volcanics, living under logs and rocks.
 Remarks. Dictyoropa n. gen. has reticulate protoconch sculpture which is similar to that of Cancellocochlea coolongolook and Planorbacochlea parriwiensis. It differs mainly in having fewer spiral and radial elements. This pattern of reticulate protoconch sculpture features in several yet to be described charopids north of the Clarence River drainage apart from the type species.

description: The competition between local and global driving forces is significant in a wide variety of naturally occurring branched networks. We have investigated the impact of a global minimization criterion versus a local one on the structure of spanning trees. To do so, we consider two spanning tree structures - the generalized minimal spanning tree (GMST) defined by Dror et al. [1] and an analogous structure based on the invasion percolation network, which we term the generalized invasive spanning tree or GIST. In general, these two structures represent extremes of global and local optimality, respectively. Structural characteristics are compared between the GMST and GIST for a fixed lattice. In addition, we demonstrate a method for creating a series of structures which enable one to span the range between these two extremes. Two structural characterizations, the occupied edge density (i.e., the fraction of edges in the graph that are included in the tree) and the tortuosity of the arcs in the trees, are shown to correlate well with the degree to which an intermediate structure resembles the GMST or GIST. Both characterizations are straightforward to determine from an image and are potentially useful tools in the analysis of the formation of network structures.

description: A long slit spectrum from the barred galaxy NGC 1415 has been obtained with the 2.1m Guillermo Haro telescope in Cananea, Mexico at position angle 155d (EofN) and shows the kinematics of Na I D lines (in absorption) and Halpha, 6562.8 A, [NII] 6548 A, [NII] 6584 A, [SII] 6716 A, and [SII] 6731 A lines in emission from the central regions and the disk. Our previous Halpha continuum-free imaging of the central region showed mainly two central bright Halpha knots straddling the nucleus, and Halpha emission regions along the south-east and north-west inner spiral arms. Velocities of the Na I D absorption lines are taken as representative of the rotation curve of NGC 1415. Our kinematical data indicates that the central bright Halpha straddling the nucleus have velocities in excess of the Na I D velocities. We interpret these velocity excesses of the central bright Halpha knots as due to a geyser (nuclear bipolar outflow) with V_outflow 140 km/s at a P.A.+165d (EofN). The axis of this outflow, is not along the rotation axis of the disk of NGC 1415 (if it were, it would be at P.A.+238d (EofN)). Additionally we have determined Omega_{gas}, (radial resonances) kappa(R) and estimated the value of the pattern angular speed of an inner boxy stellar bar in NGC 1415, Omega_{bar}, from the Na I D rotation curve assuming Ratio of CR/a_{bar} = 1, Omega_{bar} = 134 km/s.

description: Food security is defined by the World food summit of 1996 as follows: „when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life”. Such definition includes several aspects; therefore, it is necessary to use multidimensional view to its investigation. This concept is based on three pillars: food availability, food access and food use. This issue is hence complex sustainable development issue closely connected to health, economic, environmental and other issues. Presented paper is focused on the food security analysis in European countries. For this purpose, are used data from Global food security index 2015 database by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and sponsored by DuPont about food security indicators. In the first part of the paper is analyzed recent development of the food security indicators in the selected European countries, then multivariate analysis is used to reduce dimension of the data. Countries were sorted into classes according their food security performance. Results suggest positive tendency in the European countries from the perspective of increasing welfare, food accessibility and its distribution. On the other side, economic development and sufficient supply of food brings another phenomenon which can significantly reduce quality of life and is connected with prevalence of obesity in most of the European states.

description: We introduce a new class of frames with strong symmetry properties called geometrically uniform frames (GU), that are defined over an abelian group of unitary matrices and are generated by a single generating vector. The notion of GU frames is then extended to compound GU (CGU) frames which are generated by an abelian group of unitary matrices using multiple generating vectors. The dual frame vectors and canonical tight frame vectors associated with GU frames are shown to be GU and therefore generated by a single generating vector, which can be computed very efficiently using a Fourier transform defined over the generating group of the frame. Similarly, the dual frame vectors and canonical tight frame vectors associated with CGU frames are shown to be CGU. The impact of removing single or multiple elements from a GU frame is considered. A systematic method for constructing optimal GU frames from a given set of frame vectors that are not GU is also developed. Finally, the Euclidean distance properties of GU frames are discussed and conditions are derived on the abelian group of unitary matrices to yield GU frames with strictly positive distance spectrum irrespective of the generating vector.

description: Potential adjustments in U.S. commodity program for rice are evaluated in this paper using stochastic analysis in a global modeling framework. Corresponding threshold and loss-compensatory increases in target price and loan rates are determined with assumed outright and gradual elimination of direct payments. Results show that if direct payments (DP) are eliminated in 2012, a 23% increase in both the target price (TP) and loan rate (LR) triggers counter-cyclical payments (CCP) 80% of the time; and it will take an increase of 48% in TP and LR to generate CCP enough to compensate for the loss in total DP. If DP is gradually removed over 5 years, the trigger and compensatory increases in TP and LR are 41% and 46%, respectively. Furthermore, if DP is eliminated outright and TP maintained, an increase of 71% in LR triggers loan deficiency payments (LDP) 75% of the time; and it will take an increase of 130% in LR to generate enough LDP to recoup the total loss in DP. Under gradual removal of DP, the trigger and compensatory increases in LR are 71% and 92%, respectively.

In systems of ordinary differential equations, there do not always exist non-trivial Lie symmetries around equilibrium points. We present a necessary condition for existence of Lie symmetries analytic in the neighbourhood of an equilibrium point. In addition, this result can be applied to a necessary condition for existence of a Lie symmetry in quasihomogeneous systems of ordinary differential equations. With the help of our main theorem, it is proved that several systems do not possess any analytic Lie symmetries.

description: The controversy surrounding the Mandatory Country-of-Origin Labeling (COOL) has attracted research attentions. A number of studies have reported consumers are willing to pay more for beef labeled with U.S. origin versus beef from unknown or other origins. Despite that, relatively little is known about what motivates consumers’ preference for origin-labeled food products (Lusk et al 2006). Using Individual-Level Parameters following a mixed logit model, we found that U.S. consumers were willing to pay significantly less for imported steak from Australia and Canada compare to U.S. steak. Further, we found that the negative willingness to pay is associated strongly with consumers’ perception of food safety on the exporting country.

description: Researchers have extensively studied the social mechanisms that drive the formation of networks observed among preschool children. However, less attention has been given to global network structures in terms of blockmodels. A blockmodel is a network where the nodes are groups of equivalent units (according to links to others) from a studied network. Cugmas et al. (2019) showed that mutuality, popularity, assortativity, and different types of transitivity mechanisms can lead the global network structure to the proposed asymmetric core-cohesive blockmodel. Yet, they did not provide any evidence that such a global network structure actually appears in any empirical data. In this paper, the symmetric version of the core-cohesive blockmodel type is proposed. This blockmodel type consists of three or more groups of units. The units from each group are internally well linked to each other while those from different groups are not linked to each other. This is true for all groups, except one in which the units have mutual links to all other units in the network. In this study, it is shown that the proposed blockmodel type appears in empirical interactional networks collected among preschool children. Monte Carlo simulations confirm that the most often studied social network mechanisms can lead the global network structure to the proposed symmetric blockmodel type.

description: The detection of exotic cosmic rays due to pair annihilation of dark matter particles in the Milky Way halo is a viable techniques to search for supersymmetric dark matter candidates. The study of the spectrum of gamma-rays, antiprotons and positrons offers good possibilities to perform this search in a significant portion of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model parameter space. In particular the EGRET team have seen a convincing signal for a strong excess of emission from the Galactic center that has no simple explanation with standard processes. We will review the limits achievable with the experiment GLAST taking into accounts the LEP results and we will compare this method with the antiproton and positrons experiments.

description: In this paper, a generic extension of variational mode decomposition (VMD) algorithm for multivariate or multichannel data sets is presented. We first define a model for multivariate modulated oscillations that is based on the presence of a joint or common frequency component among all channels of input data. Using that model for multivariate oscillations, we construct a variational optimization problem that aims to extract an ensemble of band-limited modes containing inherent multivariate modulated oscillations present in multivariate input signal. The cost function to be minimized is the sum of bandwidths of all signal modes across all input data channels, which is a generic extension of the cost function used in standard VMD to multivariate data. Minimization of the resulting variational model is achieved through the alternate direction method of multipliers (ADMM) approach. That yields an optimal set of multivariate modes in terms of narrow bandwidth and corresponding center frequencies that are assumed to be commonly present among all channels of a multivariate modulated oscillation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through results obtained from extensive simulations involving test (synthetic) and real world multivariate data sets. Specifically, we focus on the ability of the proposed method to yield joint oscillatory modes in multivariate data which is a prerequisite in many real world applications involving nonstationary multivariate data. We also highlight the utility of the proposed method in two real world applications which include the separation of alpha rhythms in multivariate electroencephalogram (EEG) data and the decomposition of bivariate cardiotocographic signals that consist of fetal heart rate and maternal uterine contraction (FHR-UC) as its two channels.

description: We herein estimate the effect of lattice defects on the line shape of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals from a single crystal of the S=10 single-molecule magnet Mn$_{12}$ with the external magnetic field along the crystal c axis. A second-order perturbation treatment of an effective single-spin Hamiltonian indicates that a small, random, static misorientation of the magnetic symmetry axes in a crystalline lattice can lead to asymmetric EPR peaks. Full spectra are simulated by calculating probability-distribution functions for the resonant fields, employing distributions in the tilt angle of the easy axis from the c axis, in the uniaxial anisotropy parameter, and in the $g$-factor. We discuss conditions under which the asymmetry in the EPR spectra becomes prominent. The direction and magnitude of the asymmetry provide information on the specific energy levels involved with the EPR transition, the EPR frequency, and the distribution in the tilt angle.

description: An effective algorithmic method is presented for finding the local conservation laws for partial differential equations with any number of independent and dependent variables. The method does not require the use or existence of a variational principle and reduces the calculation of conservation laws to solving a system of linear determining equations similar to that for finding symmetries. An explicit construction formula is derived which yields a conservation law for each solution of the determining system. In the first of two papers (Part I), examples of nonlinear wave equations are used to exhibit the method. Classification results for conservation laws of these equations are obtained. In a second paper (Part II), a general treatment of the method is given.

Cancellocochlea

description: Cancellocochlea n. gen.
 Diagnosis. Shell very small, orange brown, biconcave or discoidal/planate with tightly coiled whorls, the last inflated. Protoconch sculpture reticulate (coolongolook) to spiral (heatherae); teleoconch with few sinuate radial ribs; microsculpture cancellate consisting of prominent microradial ribs and low microspiral cords, beaded at their intersection. Aperture narrowly to broadly ovately-lunate. Umbilicus wide U-shaped to wide cup-shaped. Penis tubular with an apical verge that has a lateral pore; longitudinal ridge shaped pilasters present. Epiphallus shorter than penis.
 Range and habitat. From the Port Stephens area northward to the Manning River drainage basin, NSW; found in rainforest on volcanics, living under logs and rocks.
 Remarks. Cancellocochlea coolongolook n. sp. and Ca. heatherae n. sp. display significant differences in protoconch sculpture. The protoconch sculpture of Ca. coolongolook has similarities to both Planorbacochlea parriwiensis and P. yessabahensis (both reticulate) while the beaded spiral pattern of Ca. heatherae links it to the Hunter/Port Stephens Planorbacochlea group.

description: Beef cattle production in the southeastern United States differs in size, practice, and production type from other U.S. regions. Smaller, cow-calf type operations dominate in this region because the climate, forage availability, and other land use practices of farmers make this type of cattle operation more ideal for the Southeast. Cow-calf production, particularly small-herd enterprises, does not typically require the level of intense management compared to other beef operations, thus making it more manageable for those with limited time and labor. This research summarizes the current practices and characteristics that define the Southeastern cow-calf operation as it operates under the new challenges of today’s market and operating environment; it also examines the factors that influence the variability of beef production in these operations. Results are gathered from functioning cattle ranches in the Southeast. This research provides an empirical definition of beef cattle operations in the southeastern U.S. and compares cattle operations in the Southeast to other regions of the country. It also examines factors of cattle production and the practices that affect that production. Results of the analysis indicate the following major points: 1.) Only 53% of all respondents that owned commercial cows have fewer than 50 head and almost 73% of respondents with cattle have seedstock operations with fewer than 50 head. 2.) Older calves weigh more at weaning and the variability around the mean tends to widen as calves get older. 3.) Seedstock producers, likely due to the genetic nature of a purebred herd, produce calves that wean at higher weights than those crossbred calves that are typical of cow-calf operations. 4.) Operators that are financially invested in their operation, through the amount of income they receive and the amount of financial investment they have made, seem to be more attentive to the outcome of their production process.

Richmondaropa

description: Richmondaropa n. gen.
 Gyrocochlea Hedley, 1924: 215 (in part); Iredale 1937: 322 (in part); Iredale 1941a: 267 (in part); Smith 1992: 190 (in part); Stanisic et al. 2010: 196 (in part).
 Roblinella Iredale, 1941b: 1 (in part); Smith 1992: 203 (in part).
 Type species. Gyrocochlea prava Hedley, 1924 —here designated.
 Etymology. For the Richmond River district, north-eastern NSW.
 Diagnosis. Shell very small, cinnamon brown, planispiral to slightly biconcave with spire flat to slightly concave. Whorls tightly coiled, the last inflated and descending strongly in front. Protoconch sculpture primarily spiral consisting of 17 to 21 prominent, widely spaced, narrow, continuous spiral cords; vague, very weak, underlying radial ridges present. Teleoconch sculpture of numerous, prominent, widely and uniformly spaced, slightly sinuate, orthocline to strongly prosocline radial ribs; microsculpture cancellate with prominent microradial ribs and low microspiral cords. Aperture shape broadly ovately-lunate. Umbilicus wide, U-shaped to cup-shaped. Epiphallus longer than penis, entering penis through a simple pore (i.e. verge absent). Penis tubular with an expanded apical portion, internally with 2–3 longitudinal pilasters.
 Distribution and habitat. Sub-coastal volcanics, alluvial flood plains and coastal habitats between the Richmond and Tweed Rivers, north-eastern NSW; found in rainforests, living on undersides of logs.
 Remarks. Richmondaropa n. gen. is distinguished by having a predominantly spiral protoconch with widely spaced, continuous narrow, spiral cords. Gyrocochlea Hedley, 1924 differs chiefly in having finely cancellate protoconch sculpture with numerous, extremely crowded, beaded spiral cords; Dictyoropa has a reticulate protoconch sculpture with continuous, widely spaced spiral cords; and Macphersonea n. gen. has distinctly latticelike protoconch sculpture and channelled sutures. Richmondaropa appears confined to the coastal and sub-coastal areas of north-eastern NSW area between the Richmond and Tweed Rivers. However, the hinterland, particularly rainforests of the upper Richmond and Nightcap Ranges needs to be further explored to circumscribe fully the geographic range of the genus and constitute species.
