 C o m m e n t: The original description of L. funesta is based on a unique holotype from "Kaukasus ohne nähere Bezeichnung der Localität" (EPPELSHEIM 1890). This species had never been recorded again since the original description (SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015). A study of the holotype revealed that it is conspecific with the recently described Liogluta nigrobusta ASSING, 2016, whose description is based on a male holotype and five female paratypes from a locality in Artvin, northeastern Anatolia (ASSING 2016a). For illustrations of the external and sexual characters of this distinctive species see the description of L. nigrobusta.

description: This paper estimates the technical efficiency of traditional variety (TV) and highyielding-variety (HYV) rice producers in Bangladesh as well as explores the determinants of HYV rice adoption in a survey data from 360 farmers for the 2008/09 growing seasons. Estimates by stochastic frontier analysis indicated that in spite of its much yield potential, HYV rice production was associated with lower technical efficiency and had a greater variability in yield. Results indicated that technical efficiency of HYV and TV rice were related to age, experience, off-farm income, extension visits, and access to microfinance. A Tobit analysis revealed that the adoption of HYV rice was significantly and positively influenced by farmers’ age and experience, level of technical efficiency, irrigation coverage, off-farm incomes, access to microfinance, perception of yield and membership of village-local groups.

description: We examine how known unstable equilibria of the Navier-Stokes equations in plane Couette flow adapt to the presence of an imposed stable density difference between the two boundaries for varying values of the Prandtl number $Pr$, the ratio of viscosity to density diffusivity, and fixed moderate Reynolds number, $Re=400$. In the two asymptotic limits $Pr \to 0$ and $Pr \to \infty$, it is found that such solutions exist at arbitrarily high bulk stratification but for different physical reasons. In the $Pr \to 0$ limit, density variations away from a constant stable density gradient become vanishingly small as diffusion of density dominates over advection, allowing equilibria to exist for bulk Richardson number $Ri_b \lesssim O(Re^{-2}Pr^{-1})$. Alternatively, at high Prandtl numbers, density becomes homogenised in the interior by the dominant advection which creates strongly stable stratified boundary layers that recede into the wall as $Pr\to\infty$. In this scenario, the density stratification and the flow essentially decouple, thereby mitigating the effect of increasing $Ri_b$. An asymptotic analysis is presented in the passive scalar regime $Ri_b \lesssim O(Re^{-2})$, which reveals $O(Pr^{-1/3})$-thick stratified boundary layers with $O(Pr^{-2/9})$-wide eruptions, giving rise to density fingers of $O(Pr^{-1/9})$ length and $O(Pr^{-4/9})$ width that invade an otherwise homogeneous interior. Finally, increasing $Re$ to $10^5$ in this regime reveals that interior stably stratified density layers can form away from the boundaries, separating well-mixed regions.

description: The classification of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in one dimension has been recently achieved, and had a fundamental impact in our understanding of quantum phases in condensed matter physics. In this framework, SPT phases can be identified by many-body topological invariants, which are quantized non-local correlators for the many-body wavefunction. While SPT phases can now be realized in interacting synthethic quantum systems, the direct measurement of quantized many-body topological invariants has remained so far elusive. Here, we propose measurement protocols for many-body topological invariants for all types of protecting symmetries of one-dimensional interacting bosonic systems. Our approach relies on randomized measurements implemented with local random unitaries, and can be applied to any spin system with single-site addressability and readout. Our scheme thus provides a versatile toolbox to experimentally classify interacting SPT phases.

description: There is evidence that protoplanetary disks--including the protosolar one--contain crystalline dust grains on spatial scales where the dust temperature is lower than the threshold value for their formation through thermal annealing of amorphous interstellar silicates. We interpret these observations in terms of an extended, magnetocentrifugally driven disk wind that transports grains from the inner disk--where they are thermally processed by the stellar radiation after being uplifted from the disk surfaces--to the outer disk regions. For any disk radius $r$ there is a maximum grain size $a_\mathrm{max}(r)$ that can be uplifted from that location: grains of size $a$$\ll$$a_\mathrm{max}$ are carried away by the wind, whereas those with $a$$\lesssim$$a_\mathrm{max}$ reenter the disk at larger radii. A significant portion of the reentering grains converge to--and subsequently accumulate in--a narrow region just beyond $r_\mathrm{max}(a)$, the maximum radius from which grains of size $a$ can be uplifted. We show that this model can account for the inferred crystallinity fractions in classical T Tauri and Herbig Ae disks and for their indicated near constancy after being established early in the disk evolution. It is also consistent with the reported radial gradients in the mean grain size, crystallinity, and crystal composition. In addition, this model yields the properties of the grains that remain embedded in the outflows from protoplanetary disks and naturally explains the inferred persistence of small grains in the surface layers of these disks.

description: In this paper, we address the problem of 3D object instance recognition and pose estimation of localized objects in cluttered environments using convolutional neural networks. Inspired by the descriptor learning approach of Wohlhart et al., we propose a method that introduces the dynamic margin in the manifold learning triplet loss function. Such a loss function is designed to map images of different objects under different poses to a lower-dimensional, similarity-preserving descriptor space on which efficient nearest neighbor search algorithms can be applied. Introducing the dynamic margin allows for faster training times and better accuracy of the resulting low-dimensional manifolds. Furthermore, we contribute the following: adding in-plane rotations (ignored by the baseline method) to the training, proposing new background noise types that help to better mimic realistic scenarios and improve accuracy with respect to clutter, adding surface normals as another powerful image modality representing an object surface leading to better performance than merely depth, and finally implementing an efficient online batch generation that allows for better variability during the training phase. We perform an exhaustive evaluation to demonstrate the effects of our contributions. Additionally, we assess the performance of the algorithm on the large BigBIRD dataset to demonstrate good scalability properties of the pipeline with respect to the number of models.

description: Increasing interest in the commercial development of breadfruit as a crop for food and nutrition security in tropical areas requires that consideration be given to production systems. Traditionally, breadfruit has been grown on farms as a minor crop in mixed tree crop systems or as one or a few trees, mainly on the border of smallholdings. In both systems, the tree is planted at wide spacing because of the large size typical of breadfruit cultivars in the Caribbean, which limits pure stand production. New cultivars are now available and can be evaluated for their suitability for planting at closer spacings. Since flowering and consequently, fruit production in breadfruit appears to be influenced by light, it is important to assess the size of trees and their ability to intercept light. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of cultivar on tree morphology and light interception, and leaf area index in juvenile breadfruit trees, determines the relationship between light interception, leaf area index and tree dimensions, and consider the implications for managing a pure stand breadfruit orchard. The study was conducted at the University of the West Indies field Station (UFS) at Valsayn, Trinidad, using five breadfruit cultivars in a pure stand planting of 22 trees. The cultivars were Ma'afala (M), White (W), Local Yellow (LY), Jamaican Maka (JM), and Breadnut (BN).Tree dimensions, including tree height, canopy depth and canopy width were measured and data on Leaf Area Index (LAI) and light interception were collected. The results showed that cultivar had a very highly significant (p<0.001) effects on LAI, but not on light interception (p<0.164). The information provided has implications for breadfruit tree and orchard management, and productivity in the Caribbean.

description: Mathematical programming models are commonly used to approach decision making in livestock farms. The majority of these models assume gross margin maximisation as the sole objective of farmers. In this study an alternative multicriteria model is built to test the hypothesis of the multiplicity of the objectives of Greek sheep farmers. A farm typology is constructed to account for diversified farm structures and a non-interactive methodology is used to elicit the utility function of farmers. The results of the analysis indicate that the multicriteria model allows for a better representation of the farms, compared to the gross margin maximisation model.

description: The dynamics of power distribution between longitudinal modes of a multimode semiconductor laser subjected to external optical feedback is experimentally analyzed in the low-frequency fluctuation regime. Power dropouts in the total light intensity are invariably accompanied by sudden activations of several longitudinal modes. These activations are seen not to be simultaneous to the dropouts, but to occur after them. The phenomenon is statistically analysed in a systematic way, and the corresponding delay is estimated.

description: We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on transition-metal dichalcogenide 1$T$-HfTe$_2$ to elucidate the evolution of electronic states upon potassium (K) deposition. In pristine HfTe$_2$, an in-plane hole pocket and electron pockets are observed at the Brillouin-zone center and corner, respectively, indicating the semimetallic nature of bulk HfTe$_2$, with dispersion perpendicular to the plane. In contrast, the band structure of heavily K-dosed HfTe$_2$ is obviously different from that of bulk, and resembles the band structure calculated for monolayer HfTe$_2$. It was also observed that lightly K-dosed HfTe$_2$ is characterized by quantized bands originating from bilayer and trilayer HfTe$_2$, indicative of staging. The results suggest that the dimensionality-crossover from 3D (dimensional) to 2D electronic states due to systematic K intercalation takes place via staging in a single sample. The study provides a new strategy for controlling the dimensionality and functionality of novel quantum materials.

description: We study the spectrum of density fluctuations of Fractional Hall Fluids in the context of the noncommutative hidrodynamical model of Susskind. We show that, within the weak-field expansion, the leading correction to the noncommutative Chern--Simons Lagrangian (a Maxwell term in the effective action,) destroys the incompressibility of the Hall fluid due to strong UV/IR effects at one loop. We speculate on possible relations of this instability with the transition to the Wigner crystal, and conclude that calculations within the weak-field expansion must be carried out with an explicit ultraviolet cutoff at the noncommutativity scale. We point out that the noncommutative dipoles exactly match the spatial structure of the Halperin--Kallin quasiexcitons. Therefore, we propose that the noncommutative formalism must describe accurately the spectrum at very large momenta, provided no weak-field approximations are made. We further conjecture that the noncommutative open Wilson lines are `vertex operators' for the quasiexcitons.

description: Poor nutrition is a major factor limiting the productivity of small ruminants in St. Kitts and Nevis as well as in the wider Caribbean region. Inadequate quantity and quality of natural pastures during the dry season is a major constraint limiting the local supply of sheep and goat meat. The objectives of this study were the establishment of droughttolerant, high-yielding crops capable of good quality forage that could also be preserved as silage for year-round feeding of small ruminants. Two hectares of Mulato II grass (Brachiaria hybrid CIAT 36087) were planted in the dry season during February 2012, with a re-seeded section during April 2012. Forage yield after 12 weeks of successful establishment was 4,783 kg of dry matter (DM) per ha. In July the Mulato grass was harvested and conserved as silage in 153 plastic bags of 20 kg and 550 silage bags of 11 kg, for a total yield of 10,317 kg fresh ensiled material per ha. During the wet season after 3.5 weeks of re-growth, the Mulato grass produced 10,465 kg DM/ha, 2.2 times more forage compared to the dry season. For the forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), two cycles of Great Scott brown mid-rib were established and harvested: one in the dry season and the other in the wet season, March to May 2012 and November to January 2013, respectively. During the dry season the forage sorghum produced 1,870 kg DM/ ha with 81-day of growth, whereas in the rainy season, the forage sorghum produced 1.8 times higher, 3,429 kg DM/ha, with 53-day of growth. Successful establishment in the dry season and forage production during both the dry and wet season proved that Mulato grass and forage sorghum are valid forage options for small ruminant production under the Caribbean weather conditions, with the potential to increase farmers' income and provide year-round meat protein sources for these communities.

description: This study develops an expected utility model to examine Chinese fruit farmers’ adoption of a newly introduced production technology, the artisan fruit production technique. We analyzed a three-stage adoption process and examined factors influencing farmers’ adoption decision in each stage. Survey data collected from 398 fruit farmers were used to quantify farmers’ probability to understand, actually adopt, and determine the magnitude of adoption. We found that farmers’ adoption varies with their education, plans to expand, and their risk concerns regarding the new technology. We also detected that adoption changes with farm accessibility to government supported agricultural assistances and the availability of privately funded fruit cooperatives. Overall the three-stage adoption framework performs well in adjusting potential sample selection bias problems.

In addition anomaly cancellation fixes the boundary gauge couplings in terms of the gravitational constant, and the mass parameter of the Chern-Simons term.

description: The study generates a case study model for social project appraisal that simulates the economic treatment of a depletable resource, environment protection from pollution effects and public goods damage. The project is a high dam project that generates an "environmental friendly technology" for energy creation "Hydroelectric" that saves a depleted fuel and reduces the premature death probability and it preserves water for irrigating additional newly reclaimed land for agricultural production. Although, this model simulates the comparable one in Egypt, its volume and figures were simplified here for several reasons. The study is interest in building up a model to test its validity for further applications, rather than to restrict it to access the feasibility or validity of the High Dam, as the protection of Egypt from drought several times within the last three decades was enough evidence to judge how valid was the decision to establish it. The externalities of the actual "Aswan" high dam are much more beyond what presented here.

description: As a streak of dye is advected by a chaotic flow, it stretches and folds and becomes indistinguishable from a one-dimensional idealized material line. The variation along a material line of the total stretching experienced by fluid elements is examined, and it is found that it can be decomposed into an overall time-dependent factor, constant along the line, and a smooth time-independent deviation. The stretching is related by a power law to the curvature of the line near sharp bends. This is confirmed numerically and motivated by a simple model. A conservation law for Lyapunov exponents explains deviations from a power-law.

description: An alternate method of measuring anisotropy fields in thin film ferromagnets is demonstrated. The method relies on the magnetic susceptibility in a small a.c. magnetic field, measured \txtit{in situ} using the magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE), and will be useful in situations where more specialized apparatus are not available, or constraints discourage the use of a large, static magnetic field. The method is demonstrated for Co/W(110) films, where it yields anisotropy fields in agreement with previous studies using more conventional torque magnetometry. The sensitivity of the method is demonstrated using CoO/Co/W(110) bilayer films, where the anisotropy due to interfacial exchange coupling is detected and used to find the Néel temperature of the thin CoO layer.

description: We report the experimental studies of a parametric excitation of a second sound (SS) by a first sound (FS) in a superfluid helium in a resonance cavity. The results on several topics in this system are presented: (i) The linear properties of the instability, namely, the threshold, its temperature and geometrical dependencies, and the spectra of SS just above the onset were measured. They were found to be in a good quantitative agreement with the theory. (ii) It was shown that the mechanism of SS amplitude saturation is due to the nonlinear attenuation of SS via three wave interactions between the SS waves. Strong low frequency amplitude fluctuations of SS above the threshold were observed. The spectra of these fluctuations had a universal shape with exponentially decaying tails. Furthermore, the spectral width grew continuously with the FS amplitude. The role of three and four wave interactions are discussed with respect to the nonlinear SS behavior. The first evidence of Gaussian statistics of the wave amplitudes for the parametrically generated wave ensemble was obtained. (iii) The experiments on simultaneous pumping of the FS and independent SS waves revealed new effects. Below the instability threshold, the SS phase conjugation as a result of three-wave interactions between the FS and SS waves was observed. Above the threshold two new effects were found: a giant amplification of the SS wave intensity and strong resonance oscillations of the SS wave amplitude as a function of the FS amplitude. Qualitative explanations of these effects are suggested.

description: While Microservices promise several beneficial characteristics for sustainable long-term software evolution, little empirical research covers what concrete activities industry applies for the evolvability assurance of Microservices and how technical debt is handled in such systems. Since insights into the current state of practice are very important for researchers, we performed a qualitative interview study to explore applied evolvability assurance processes, the usage of tools, metrics, and patterns, as well as participants' reflections on the topic. In 17 semi-structured interviews, we discussed 14 different Microservice-based systems with software professionals from 10 companies and how the sustainable evolution of these systems was ensured. Interview transcripts were analyzed with a detailed coding system and the constant comparison method. We found that especially systems for external customers relied on central governance for the assurance. Participants saw guidelines like architectural principles as important to ensure a base consistency for evolvability. Interviewees also valued manual activities like code review or boy scouting, even though automation and tool support was described as very important. Source code quality was the primary target for the usage of tools and metrics. Despite most reported issues being related to Architectural Technical Debt (ATD), our participants did not apply any architectural or service-oriented tools and metrics. While participants generally saw their Microservices as evolvable, service cutting and finding an appropriate service granularity with low coupling and high cohesion were reported as challenging. Future Microservices research in the areas of evolution and technical debt should take these findings and industry sentiments into account.

description: We present multi-object spectroscopic observations of 23 globular cluster candidates (GCCs) in the prototypical megamaser galaxy NGC 4258, carried out with the OSIRIS instrument at the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias. The candidates have been selected based on the ($u^*\ -\ i^\prime$) versus ($i^\prime\ -\ K_s$) diagram, in the first application of the uiks-method to a spiral galaxy. In the spectroscopy presented here, 70% of the candidates are confirmed as globular clusters. Our results validate the efficiency of the uiks-method in the sparser GC systems of spirals, and given the downward correction to the total number of GCs, the agreement of the galaxy with the correlations between black hole mass, and total number and mass of GCs is actually improved. We find that the GCs, mostly metal-poor, co-rotate with the HI disk, even at large galactocentric distances.

description: This deliverable primarily describes the MeMAD ontology which builds on top of the EBU Core data model. A number of additional classes and properties are defined in order to cope with the original set of metadata delivered by the MeMAD data providers (INA and Yle). Furthermore, this deliverable describes two tools that enable to convert the legacy metadata coming from both INA and Yle into RDF, the W3C standard for representing knowledge graph on the web, following the MeMAD ontology. During this process, metadata is harmonized and enriched semantically enabling to perform queries across sources. This deliverable describes also a number of tools that perform named entity recognition and disambiguation on both automatic transcription and true subtitles of TV programs. These tools existed prior to the beginning of MeMAD but they have been further improved and developed during the first year of the project (e.g. development of API, specific training to MeMAD audiovisual material). The converter tools are developed in open source and are publicly available from the MeMAD GitHub account. A scientific publication is already appended to this report which describes a novel ensemble methods to extract and disambiguate entities from different kinds of text including timed text (subtitles of TV programs) and which has been investigated during the first 6 months of the project. Several improvements and formal evaluations of those tools are already foreseen to happen during the second year of the project.

description: The term “agribusiness” first appeared in Davis and Goldbergs’ (1957) seminal book titled “A concept of Agribusiness”, which described three distinct yet interdependent sectors in a global food system. These include suppliers of agricultural inputs, producers of agricultural commodities, and institutions that perform the functional aspects associated with marketing food and fiber products. Fundamental to the concept of agribusiness is that many problems related to agriculture are interrelated and dependent upon political, sociological, economic and behavioral factors. In this special issue of the journal, we argue that the “field of agribusiness” is inherently a “scientifically pluralistic” endeavor to which efforts to define it as an academic discipline is not useful. In the introductory paper that follows, we provide a brief commentary about each of the articles featured in this special issue and discuss the opportunities and challenges of scientific pluralism for agribusiness research, teaching and extension.

description: Agribusiness scholars face a significant tension between the research demands of industry peers and academic peers. This tension is created by the difference in how the two sets of peers know what they know—a difference of practical knowledge versus positivistic knowledge. The article explores the epistemologies of practice and positivism, and proposes a third epistemology, grounded theory, that can allow agribusiness scholars to produce rigorous research acceptable and relevant to both sets of peers. A more recent and growing need to address “wicked prob-lems” pushes agribusiness scholars even further toward an epistemology of engaged scholarship. Seven recommendations are provided for guiding future agribusiness research efforts.
