description: A post published on the LSE Impact blog on 17 September 2019. "Digital ubiquity has disrupted the traditional university model. The internet has shifted the balance of a tension between control and disorder in knowledge production, with many of the opportunities the web brings leading directly to many of the challenges we now need to address. Lucy Montgomery and Cameron Neylon advocate for the idea of universities as Open Knowledge Institutions, which would support and provide spaces for the world’s creative diversity to contribute to a common stock of global knowledge. This means reinventing some of our ideas about what university is, or should be, while also recognising that this change has to be an evolution, not a revolution."

description: Каменният (вечнозелен) дъб (Quercus ilex L.) е доминиращ вид в района на Средиземноморския басейн, и се използва като био-индикатор за екосистемите от Средиземноморски тип (Plieninger et al., 2004; карта на разпространението на Q. ilex може да се види на: http://www.discoverlife.org). Q. ilex е вечнозелено дърво, растящо при четири типа биоклимат (полусух, умерено-влажен, влажен и тропичен), и върху различни почвени типове. Достига до 25 м. височина и има склерофилни овласени листа вариращи по форма от кръгла до издължена, със или без бодли по края. Състои се от два подкласа: Q. ilex subsp. ilex and Q. ilex subsp. ballota (syn. Q. rotundifolia). На Иберийският полуостров неговото значение произтича от това, че този вид присъства в най-широко разпространената агролесовъдна система в Европа, известна като dehesa. Тези системи са от съществено екологично, икономическо и социално значение. Характеризират се с развитие на животновъдството, зърнопроизводството, производство на жълъди за  животновъдството и производство на дърва за огрев.

description: Depolarizing collisions are elastic or quasielastic collisions that equalize the populations and destroy the coherence between the magnetic sublevels of atomic levels. In astrophysical plasmas, the main depolarizing collider is neutral hydrogen. We consider depolarizing rates on the lowest levels of neutral and singly ionized alkaly-earths Mg I, Sr I, Ba I, Mg II, Ca II, and Ba II, due to collisions with H. We compute ab initio potential curves of the atom-H system and solve the quantum mechanical dynamics. From the scattering amplitudes we calculate the depolarizing rates for Maxwellian distributions of colliders at temperatures T <10000 K. A comparative analysis of our results and previous calculations in the literature is done. We discuss the effect of these rates on the formation of scattering polarization patterns of resonant lines of alkali-earths in the solar atmosphere, and their effect on Hanle effect diagnostics of solar magnetic fields.

description: Stored grain losses caused by pest insects contribute significantly to the global food crisis. Currently, there are two main chemical control methods against stored product insect pests: fumigation with very toxic gases and grain protection by residual contact insecticides. Today, the global tendency is to prevent/reduce the wide use of insecticides, which have high toxicity to humans and harm the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop alternative eco-friendly approaches for stored insect pest control.
Essential oils from Micromeria fruticosa and Mentha rotundifolia (Fam. Labiatae) and their main constituent pulegone which previously were shown by us as very active against stored product insect pests, were encapsulated into coarse and nano emulsions. The insecticidal activity of the developed formulations against primary internal insect rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae L.) and secondary external pest red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum Herbst) was evaluated in laboratory and pilot experiments.
It was found that the phytochemical-based nano emulsions offered significant advantages and provided powerful and prolonged biological activity compare with the coarse formulations. The developed nano emulsions could serve as a natural, effective, low-toxify for human, and environmentally preferred method for protection stored grain and dry food products from pest insects.

description: With rapid advancements in sensing, networking, and computing technologies, recent years have witnessed the emergence of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in a broad range of application domains. CPS is a new class of engineered systems that features the integration of computation, communications, and control. In contrast to general-purpose computing systems, many cyber-physical applications are safety-cricial. These applications impose considerable requirements on quality of service (QoS) of the employed networking infrastruture. Since IEEE 802.15.4 has been widely considered as a suitable protocol for CPS over wireless sensor and actuator networks, it is of vital importance to evaluate its performance extensively. Serving for this purpose, this paper will analyze the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 standard operating in different modes respectively. Extensive simulations have been conducted to examine how network QoS will be impacted by some critical parameters. The results are presented and analyzed, which provide some useful insights for network parameter configuration and optimization for CPS design.

description: Formal methods and testing are two important approaches that assist in the development of high quality software. For long time these approaches have been seen as competitors and there was very little interaction between the two communities. In recent years a new consensus has developed in which they are seen as more complementary. In this report we present an approach based on the ASD(Analytical Software Design) suite by Verum and the Microsoft Spec Explorer Model Based Testing(MBT) tool. ASD is a model-based design approach that can produce verified software components that can be combined into complete systems. However, ASD cannot verify existing components, nor complex component interactions involving data transfers. We have developed a tool that allows us to convert ASD models to Spec Explorer, allowing us to do more complete verification of software systems using dynamic testing at little additional cost and effort. We demonstrate this by applying our approach to an industrial-size case study.

description: This research was carried out to evaluate the effect of hermetic storage on quality of mungbean. About 260 kg of mungbean samples were stored in an especially design 350 L capacity hermetic PVC tanks (hermetic tank) and non-hermetic PVC tanks (control tank). Hermetic PVC tanks were closed air-tightly. All tanks were randomly placed in a warehouse. Each hermetic and control PVC tanks were artificially infested by 50 unsexed Callosobruchus chinensis kept in 4 glass jars containing 100 g of mungbean and jars were dipped in four different depths. The gas concentrations in the tanks were monitored up to 6 months intervals. Percentages of germination, moisture content, and grain damage were evaluated at the end of the storage. The oxygen content of hermetic samples was dropped to 11±1.2% and carbon dioxide content was increased up to 7±0.7% within 6 months of storage. Live insects of C. chinensis were not found in hermetic samples after 6 months but abundant population of C. chinensis was found in the control PVC tank just after one month. After 6 months, germination percentage of the mungbean samples stored in hermetic tanks had decreased from 95±3% to 82±4%, whereas it was decreased from 95±3% to 47±7% in control tanks due to grain damage. Percent grain damage of the hermetic sample was only 4.5±1% compared to the heavy insect damage of the control samples. Moisture content of hermetic samples remained unchanged compare to the control.

description: The recent study of centrality and transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) dependence of inclusive charged hardron elliptic anisotropy ($v_{2}$) at midrapidity ($|η|<1.0$) in Au+Au collision at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} =$ 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27, and 39 GeV in STAR Beam Energy Scan program is presented. We show that the observed increase of inclusive $v_{2}$ is mainly due to the average $p_{T}$ increase with energy. In Au+Au 200 GeV collisions, the triangular anisotropy ($v_{3}$) measurements highly depend on measurment methods; $v_{3}$ is strongly dependent on $Δη$. The difference between two- and four-particle cumulants $v_{2}\lbrace{2}\rbrace$ and $v_{2}\lbrace{4}\rbrace$ for Au+Au and Cu+Cu collision at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $ 62.4 and 200 GeV is used to explore flow fluctuations. Furthermore, by exploiting the symmetry of average flow in pseudorapidity $η$ about mid-rapidty, the $Δη$-dependent and independent components are seperated using $v_{2}\lbrace2\rbrace$ and $v_{2}\lbrace{4}\rbrace$.

description: A field experiment of 4 years’ duration was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of combining the mating disruption (MD) formulation Dismate ZETA (9Z,12E-tetradecadienyl acetate), with the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor against the Indianmeal moth Plodia interpunctella in a chocolate factory. The experimental period began early in 2011 and ended in late 2014. Begane Dismate dispensers were placed in the facility from 2011 to 2014 and H. hebetor was released in 2014. Pheromone-baited traps were used to monitor the flight activity of the male moths and oviposition Petri dish cups were placed to assess the progeny production of P. interpunctella females. Following the start of MD, a decrease in the number of P. interpunctella males caught in monitoring traps was observed from 2011 to 2013. A further decline in the moth population was noted in 2014, when MD was combined with the release of parasitoids. The presence of larvae in the oviposition cups was occasionally observed throughout the monitoring period, from 2011 to 2014. This study demonstrates that the combined system of MD and parasitoids is an effective and reliable technique that can be used to successfully control P. interpunctella.

title: Defining and Addressing Interconnected Goals in Groundwater Management Planning Across the USA
Creators: name: Gage, Allison
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Groundwater accounts for approximately 99% of the available freshwater on Earth, and is an important resource for irrigation, potable water, and domestic use in the United States. However, the overuse of groundwater has led to aquifer depletion in several basins across the USA, resulting in storage reduction, contamination, salt water intrusion, and depletion of surface waters. To properly manage groundwater for the future, there is a need for well-informed Groundwater Management Plans (GWMPs) in order to prevent further depletion and erosion of the resource. Previous studies have focused on groundwater management relative to groundwater laws, regulations, and institutional arrangements. This study analyzed GWMPs to better understand how allowable yields are set, how interconnected groundwater conditions are addressed, and how groundwater systems are managed when information on the system is lacking through planning. The findings of this study delineate how groundwater management goals are set across the United States and provides recommendations to inform future GWMPs.

description: The diffusion phenomenon has a remarkable impact on Online Social Networks (OSNs). Gathering diffusion data over these large networks encounters many challenges which can be alleviated by adopting a suitable sampling approach. The contributions of this paper is twofold. First we study the sampling approaches over diffusion networks, and for the first time, classify these approaches into two categories; (1) Structure-based Sampling (SBS), and (2) Diffusion-based Sampling (DBS). The dependency of the former approach to topological features of the network, and unavailability of real diffusion paths in the latter, converts the problem of choosing an appropriate sampling approach to a trade-off. Second, we formally define the diffusion network sampling problem and propose a number of new diffusion-based characteristics to evaluate introduced sampling approaches. Our experiments on large scale synthetic and real datasets show that although DBS performs much better than SBS in higher sampling rates (16% ~ 29% on average), their performances differ about 7% in lower sampling rates. Therefore, in real large scale systems with low sampling rate requirements, SBS would be a better choice according to its lower time complexity in gathering data compared to DBS. Moreover, we show that the introduced sampling approaches (SBS and DBS) play a more important role than the graph exploration techniques such as Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Random Walk (RW) in the analysis of diffusion processes.

Estimating Cosmological Parameter Covariance

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the bias and error in estimates of the cosmological parameter covariance matrix, due to sampling or modelling the data covariance matrix, for likelihood width and peak scatter estimators. We show that these estimators do not coincide unless the data covariance is exactly known. For sampled data covariances, with Gaussian distributed data and parameters, the parameter covariance matrix estimated from the width of the likelihood has a Wishart distribution, from which we derive the mean and covariance. This mean is biased and we propose an unbiased estimator of the parameter covariance matrix. Comparing our analytic results to a numerical Wishart sampler of the data covariance matrix we find excellent agreement. An accurate ansatz for the mean parameter covariance for the peak scatter estimator is found, and we fit its covariance to our numerical analysis. The mean is again biased and we propose an unbiased estimator for the peak parameter covariance. For sampled data covariances the width estimator is more accurate than the peak scatter estimator. We investigate modelling the data covariance, or equivalently data compression, and shown that the peak scatter estimator is less sensitive to biases in the model data covariance matrix than the width estimator, but requires independent realisations of the data to reduce the statistical error. If the model bias on the peak estimator is sufficiently low this is promising, otherwise the sampled width estimator is preferable.

description: The efficacy of Jatropha curcas in the management of wood termites, (Macrotermes bellicosus) was carried out in the Teaching and Research Farm of the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Resources Management. University of Calabar. The experiment consisted of 5 levels of J. curcas oil (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) and a corresponding quantity in powder, replicated 4 times and arranged in Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD). Each concentration was tested on 20 unsexed adult wood termite placed in grave yard of 8cm x 8cm. Data on mortality rate was taken at 12 hourly up to 72 hours. The result from the experiment showed that J. curcas oil was significantly efficacious compared with J. curcas powder both in the field and in the laboratory. It was observed that there was progressive increase in mortality rate due to increased concentration and time duration. The management of termite using J. curcas should be encouraged due to its environmental friendliness and should also be incorporated into integrated pest management (IPM).

description: Post on the LSE Impact blog on 31 July 2018. "Until relatively recently the ability to exploit new data for open access books was restricted to large publishers or content aggregators with the resources to invest in its collection, management, and analysis. However, Lucy Montgomery, Cameron Neylon, Alkim Ozaygen and Tama Leaver describe how barriers to engaging with data are falling, with open access monograph publishers now having growing access to data relating to usage and engagement. Such readily available data can help smaller OA publishers understand how individual titles are performing, where scarce promotion resources might best be deployed, and how a press is performing on its social mission."

description: One of reasons preventing a wider uptake of model-based testing in the industry is the difficulty which is encountered by developers when trying to think in terms of properties rather than linear specifications. A disparity has traditionally been perceived between the language spoken by customers who specify the system and the language required to construct models of that system. The dynamic nature of the specifications for commercial systems further aggravates this problem in that models would need to be rechecked after every specification change. In this paper, we propose an approach for converting specifications written in the commonly-used quasi-natural language Gherkin into models for use with a model-based testing tool. We have instantiated this approach using QuickCheck and demonstrate its applicability via a case study on the eHealth system, the national health portal for Maltese residents.

description: The pteromalids (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard), Dinarmus basalis (Rondani), Lariophagus distinguendus (Förster), Pteromalus cerealellae (Ashmead) and Theocolax elegans (Westwood) are solitary larval ectoparasitoids used to suppress several species of stored-product insects that infest storage grains. We investigated host-age preference of T. elegans using no-choice laboratory experiments. Lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) larvae (9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23 days-old) in wheat grain kernel and cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) larvae (5–19 days-old) in cowpea beans were exposed to neonate T. elegans mated females to lay their eggs for two days. Our results showed that the highest number of parasitoids emerged from 23 days-old R. dominica larvae. The numbers of parasitoids emerged from 19, 21 and 23 days-old R. dominica larvae were statistically significantly different in experiments (F-test, 0.05). Progeny of T. elegans reared from R. dominica and C. maculatus larvae were either fully-winged (macropterous), short-winged (brachypterous) or wingless (apterous). Female T. elegans were rarely host-feeding on C. maculatus larvae. Theocolax elegans progeny were emerging from 14 days-old C. maculatus larvae only. We discussed insectary mass production of T. elegans for biological control.

title: Characterizing the Interaction Between Non-Pathogenic Fusarium Oxysporum and Arabidopsis Thaliana to Determine Beneficial Effects Conferred to the Model Plant Host

description: Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes vascular wilt disease on a broad range of plants, including agricultural crops and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. There are non-pathogenic members of the Fo species complex that confer defense benefits against other pathogens to the host plant, however alteration to the host’s physiology through interaction with one of these strains, Fo47, have not been described. In this study, we aimed to establish the Fo47-A. thaliana interaction and determine if Fo47 reduces disease severity of a pathogenic Fo isolate, Fo5176. Additionally, we sought to use bioinformatics to mine transcriptomic data of the infection between Fo47 and A. thaliana for putative effectors from the non-pathogenic isolate using a pipeline that is validated by identifying known effectors in the interaction between Fo5176 and A. thaliana. Phenotypic characterization of A. thaliana plants inoculated with Fo47 or Fo5176 has revealed a significant increase in rosette biomass of Fo47 inoculated plants when compared to mock (sterile water) inoculated plants. As is observed in other systems, treatment of plants with Fo47 prior to challenging with pathogenic Fo significantly reduces the disease severity over time. The results of this study suggest that Fo47 is a possible biocontrol agent against Fo5176, and that inoculation with non-pathogenic Fo alters the physiology of A. thaliana such that it has a higher rosette biomass without alterations to the water status of the plant. Our pipeline for extracting putative effectors using transcriptomic data as a critical filter generated 13 candidate genes for further experimentation to determine their role in the Fo47-A. thaliana interaction. This research reports the first known observation that Fo47 increases the shoot biomass of the host plant it is interacting with, and that the model plant A. thaliana can be used as a host to examine the spectrum of interactions capable within the Fusarium oxysporum species complex.

description: The electronic properties of graphene may be changed from semimetallic to semiconducting by introducing perforations (antidots) in a periodic pattern. The properties of such graphene antidot lattices (GALs) have previously been studied using atomistic models, which are very time consuming for large structures. We present a continuum model that uses the Dirac equation (DE) to describe the electronic and optical properties of GALs. The advantages of the Dirac model are that the calculation time does not depend on the size of the structures and that the results are scalable. In addition, an approximation of the band gap using the DE is presented. The Dirac model is compared with nearest-neighbour tight-binding (TB) in order to assess its accuracy. Extended zigzag regions give rise to localized edge states, whereas armchair edges do not. We find that the Dirac model is in quantitative agreement with TB for GALs without edge states, but deviates for antidots with large zigzag regions.

Asymptotic theory of double layer and shielding of electric field at the edge of illuminated plasma

description: The method of matched asymptotic expansions is applied to the problem of a collisionless plasma generated by UV illumination localized in a central part of the plasma in the limiting case of small Debye length $λ_D$. A second-approximation asymptotic solution is found for the double layer positioned at the boundary of the illuminated region and for the un-illuminated plasma for the plane geometry. Numerical calculations for different values of $λ_D$ are reported and found to confirm the asymptotic results. The net integral space charge of the double layer is asymptotically small, although in the plane geometry it is just sufficient to shield the ambipolar electric field existing in the illuminated region and thus to prevent it from penetrating into the un-illuminated region. The double layer has the same mathematical nature as the intermediate transition layer separating an active plasma and a collisionless sheath, and the underlying physics is also the same. In essence, the two layers represent the same physical object: a transonic layer.

description: Present study was designed to investigate the effects of different combinations of three temperatures (20, 25 and 30?) and three relative humidity levels (55, 65 and 75%) on the efficacy of three synthetic IGRs i.e., pyriproxyfen, lufenuron and buprofezin at concentrations of 1, 5 and 10ppm on fecundity and adult emergence inhibition of T. granarium under controlled laboratory conditions. This study was conducted at Grain Research Training and Storage management Cell, Department of Entomology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. All the treatments were replicated three times using Completely Randomized Design. Larvae of T. granarium were exposed to IGRs at different levels of temperature and relative humidity. F1 adult emergence results showed that at temperature 20°C, the highest percent reduction in adult emergence (84.38, 70.65 and 79.94%) was recorded after exposure to lufenuron, buprofezin and pyriproxyfen treated diet, respectively. At 75% relative humidity, lufenuron, buprofezin and pyriproxyfen caused 77.53, 80.00 and 80.32% reduction in adult emergence, respectively. Adults were exposed to IGRs at different temperature and relative humidity to evaluate the oviposition inhibition. The results revealed that at temperature 20°C, maximum percent reduction in fecundity (87.95, 80.45 and 70.55%) was recorded after exposure to buprofezin, pyriproxyfen and lufenuron treated diet, respectively. At 75% relative humidity buprofezin, pyriproxyfen and lufenuron caused 86.73, 83.72 and 69.11% reduction in fecundity, respectively. It is concluded that temperature and relative humidity play an important role in the effectiveness of insect growth regulators.

description: Lucy Montgomery's slides on Open Access in Australia, presented during the OASPA Webinar On track or off the rails? Australia's Open Journey on 22 March 2022. Chair: Dr Danny Kingsley. "In the early 2000s Australia was seen as a leader in open initiatives – with one of the first OA university presses, the first country to systematically make PhD theses available, having the first institution with an OA policy as well as enormous investment on research data infrastructure.  But the last decade has seen universities increasingly relying on the income from international students. While the pandemic has dramatically undermined this strategy, it has left a legacy of a clear Australian focus on university rankings. During the same period, the UK and the Netherlands have introduced strong national open policies, translating today to over 75% of research outputs being open access. The Plan S push is happening in Europe and US institutions are dramatically changing the nature of their subscription negotiations.  So, how is Australia faring comparatively? The webinar will be chaired by Dr Danny Kingsley who will also speak about a research project she is undertaking to analyse Australian university open access policies. We welcome our speakers: Professor Lucy Montgomery who will place Australia into the global context in relation to the meta-research their group has been doing on progress towards open access globally, Emeritus Professor Ian Chubb will be talking about his decision to establish one of the world’s first fully open access university presses and Martin Borchert will conclude with the recent approaches that have been made in Australia towards an end goal of open access/ FAIR/ open science. The panelists will each speak for 10 minutes, and then we will open it up to questions from the audience and discussion."

description: Combining wide-field ground-based photometry to HST data for the core of Galactic globular clusters (GGCs), is a powerful tool to investigate the spatial distribution of multiple stellar populations and stars in different evolutionary phases throughout their extension.We analyzed Omega Cen and NGC2808 by using DECam and HST photometry, and employed color-color planes and proper motions to select clean samples of cluster stars. Color indices were used to select sub-populations with different chemical enrichment: our analysis reveals that most enriched stars are more centrally concentrated compared to the primordial ones in both GGCs, while showing a more extended spatial distribution in the outskirts. We also found a decreasing fraction of the hottest horizontal branch stars with increasing distance from the core. To validate the results and better understand the GGC formation scenario, spectroscopy of stars in the outskirts with 4MOST-VISTA or MOONS-VLT is crucial to measure their abundances and radial velocities. We will extend our analysis to other massive GGCs, such as NGC1851, 47 Tuc, NGC362, NGC288, M2, and M15, using available DECam, Megacam and VST wide-field photometry and HST data.These studies are important test-benches for the larger projects we can undertake with Vera Rubin Observatory and the Nancy Roman telescope; these facilities will enable detailed studies of other Local Group globular clusters, allowing comparison of their properties with GGCs.

description: Studies were conducted in the Crop Science laboratory, University of Calabar to evaluate the insecticidal actions of essential oils (EOs) of Xylopia aethiopica, Dennetia tripetala, Pysostigma venenosum and Senna hirsuta in the management of Callosobruchus subinnotatus. The EOs were extracted using soxhlet apparatus with n-Hexane as the solvent. Four concentrations (0.25%, 0.50%, 1.00% and 2.00 %) and n-Hexane as control were laid out in completely randomized design with three replications. Parameters assessed included repellency, fumigant action, weight loss as well as Lethal concentration (LC50) of the treatments to the beetles at the lowest concentration of 0.25%. The EO of Senna hirsuta treated samples generally resulted in significantly (P > 0.05) lower weight loss than n-hexane treated samples. LC50 computation revealed that D. tripetala and P. venenosum (LC50 0.22 at 48 hrs) were most efficacious against C. subinnotatus. The result supports the use of the test plants by small scale farmers in the protection of stored V. substerranea against C. subinn
