description: Using an ab-initio molecular dynamics scheme (the Fireball scheme), we determined the equilibrium structure of intermediate size Si_nGe_m (n+m=71) nanoclusters with/without hydrogen passivation on the surface. Due to the strong surface distortion, defect states are found to permeate the energy gap of Si_nGe_m clusters. However, the defect states are removed by adding H atoms on the surface of Si_nGe_m clusters, and the gap opens up to a few eV, indicating a blueshift for photoluminescence. It is also found that the radiative transition between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) states is enhanced by one to two orders of magnitude for Si_nGe_m nanoclusters with respect to the corresponding pure Si clusters. This significant increase of the emission probability is attributed to the strong overlap of HOMO and LUMO wavefunctions that are centered mostly on the Ge atoms.

description: Freshwater aquaculture is stimulated by a decline in the natural marine resourte1. Advanced progress has already been achieved in the technical research area, contrary lo research in the economic and marketing areas which were neglected. It is an industry characterized by high risks, lack of structural organization and the absence of an effective marketing system.This research is aimed at addressing the institutional organization and marketing system problems of the industry. The objective is the provision of guidelines for the development of a efficient and effective marketing system. The analysis was based on surveys amongst freshwater aquaculture producers and distributors and surveys of the urban black and white consumers. An analysis of the sea fisheries industry was also done. Trout and barbell (catfish) are the most important commercial freshwater fish species. Producer's risks arc increased by relative large capital investments needed and the unavailability of inputs. Most of the marketing function& arc still performed by the producers themselves and direct consumer marketing is apparently the mosl popular distribution channel. Trout is marketed at a high price as a "luxury" consumer product whereas barbell is mostly marketed to local low income black consumers. There are only a few distributors of aquaculture products. They indicated that there is no real market for these products, but at the same time stress the unavailability of these products. They have no market development or product promotion strategics and exclude the preferences, needs and product education of the consumer from their business strategics. Differences and similarities of preferences, tastes, buying behaviour and consumption patterns towards fish were found amongst the urban black and white consumers. It can be used towards the development of an effective and efficient marketing system as well as feasible marketing strategics.

description: The extreme slowing down associated with glass formation in experiments and in simulations results in serious difficulties to prepare deeply quenched, well annealed, glassy material. Recently, methods to achieve such deep quenching were proposed, including vapor deposition on the experimental side and "Swap Monte Carlo" and oscillatory shearing on the simulation side. The relation between the resulting glasses under different protocols remains unclear. Here we show that oscillatory shear and "Swap Monte Carlo" result in thermodynamically equivalent glasses sharing the same statistical mechanics and similar mechanical responses under external strain.

description: In terms or employment generation, natural resource use, exports, contribution to the gross domestic product and relative importance in the diet, the beer industry is Namibia's most important agricultural sector. Beer production fluctuates due to its dependence on Namibia's environment which is characterized by unpredictable weather, periodical droughts, political and structural changes, distorted market signals and lack or clear incentives for change. Namibia was divided into sixteen homogeneous ecological and veterinarian areas. Supply response or beef is analysed in each area by using multiple regression techniques on biological and economic time series data. Results show that the producers' price of beef docs not generally play a major role in the supply response of beef. Environmental factors and cattle numbers play a major role in determining the annual number of cattle marketed. Deficiencies in the marketing systems for beef contribute to environmental problems and resource degradation. Beef production should be based on knowledge of market outlets and on high standards or farm management. Attention should be given to the removal of impediments to the creation of new markets that would allocate resources effectively and produce net benefits to the society.
title: The Redistribution of Argon Through a Metamorphic Cycle: Causes, Effects, and Consequences on Understanding Cooling Rates
Creators: name: Mcdonald, Christopher Steven
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology is commonly used to constrain the timing, and rates, of cooling in exhumed metamorphic terranes. Metamorphic micas that crystallise at high temperatures are usually considered to lose 40Ar via thermally-activated volume diffusion, and the resulting age is commonly linked to temperature via Dodson’s closure temperature (Te) formulation. 40Ar/39Ar ages from many metamorphic terranes commonly do not fit within a chronological framework defined by other, higher T chronometers, such as U-Pb zircon, suggesting that linking age to temperature via pure open system diffusion may not always be a correct interpretation.

The Western Gneiss Region of Norway documents isothermal decompression from high pressures (from -3.0 GPa to -1.0 GPa) at 700°C. White mica, biotite, amphibole, and feldspar single grain fusion and laser ablation 40Ar/39Ar ages yield a broad range that spans the known timing of the metamorphic cycle and that cannot be readily reconciled with models of simple thermal diffusion.

Instead, the 40Ar/39Ar data record the cumulative effects of a complex interplay of processes that affected the rocks during decompression and exhumation. Recrystallization, deformation, partial melting, and fluid infiltration all acted to add or remove Ar from the system at different times in different lithologies. Samples that show significant recrystallization and deformation yield younger white mica but older biotite ages than more pristine samples. Furthermore, migmatisation acted to make biotite ages younger in the amphibolite-facies gneisses whereas fluid infiltration acted to increase biotite ages. Data from white mica breaking down to form a symplectite of biotite and plagioclase show that during recrystallization, Ar was not lost to the grain boundary, but instead becomes incorporated into biotite and plagioclase.

These physical processes appear to have dominated over thermally-activated volume diffusion as the means by which Ar was (re)distributed within, and between, different lithologies. Overall, these data support the observation that 40Ar/39Ar ages from K-bearing minerals in high-temperature and high-pressure metamorphic terranes may not always be interpretable as cooling ages and that metamorphic 40Ar/39Ar ages require careful assessment with respect to metamorphic stage and petrographic evolution.
Developing Transferable Skills in Students Through Co-Creating Work-Based Learning Outcomes - Work Supervisors' Perspectives

description: This thesis explored the effect of co-creating work-based learning
 outcomes through the perspectives of work supervisors of a university’s
 work-based learning programme. It acknowledged their key role in
 developing transferable skills in the students and filled a knowledge gap
 as very little literature highlighted their perspectives.

 An intervention of co-creating work-based learning outcomes for
 transferable skills was thought to be psychologically wise (Walton
 & Wilson, 2018) in addressing gaps in the constructive alignment
 of work-based learning from a pilot study (Ong, 2022) as a first step in a
 coaching process (Gettman, 2019).

 While a protocol for the co-creation process was suggested, the unique
 circumstances that surrounded each participant resulted in slight
 variations that made a case study approach more suitable for qualitative
 data analysis. The concepts of “clarity” and “gifts” were starting points
 for thematic analysis.

 “Clarity” was found to be evident from the supervisors’ perspective of
 being clearer of the process from learning outcomes to assessment
 (constructive alignment) and their role as coaches to be less directive
 and more collaborative in the process. While coaching was challenging to
 the supervisors, the satisfaction of observing growth in the student was a
 “gift” in itself.

 Coaching required a mindset change in the supervisors to listen more to
 the student voice, and for the student to value learning more than grades.
 This could be difficult in the context of fast-paced Singapore where the
 tension between putting effort to develop transferable skills in students
 and getting work done. As such, the tripartite relationship (Feldmann,
 2016) between the work supervisor, academic supervisor and student would
 have to be a close one for the long-term development of the students’
 transferable skills to be realised.

Discriminant analysis shOW& that garden club members tend to have higher on-farm income per household member and receive more KwaZulu Department of Agriculture (KDA) extension input than savings club members. Members who belong solely to a savings club receive more ACAT training and tend to be further from infrastructural amenities. Garden clubs can assist rural dcvetoi:i~cnt by encouraging surplus production for sale and focusing KDA extension efforts. Savings clubs improve access of rural people to trammg and farm inputs. Club savings increase during the pre-planting season (August to November) when input pun:hascs are made: Post-planting savings arc much lower, indicating allocation of funds to alternative uses (reduced incentive to sav~ un.111 next pre-plant mg season?, These patterns suggest that members use savings clubs to obtain inputs rather than as typical savings m~t1tut1o~s. Total r~al ann~al savt?l!;S and withdrawals in savings clubs fell between 1985 and 1987, due to a fall in average club membership. This was associated with declining real annual ACAT-KwaZulu operating budgets which reduced ACAT staff visits to clubs and assistance with input deliveries.

description: Women in rural areas of less developed areas of Southern Africa are involved in many agricultural production activities especially the production of food. These areas are known to be characterised by low agricultural productivity. Research was conducted to determine factors which lead to low productivity among women farmers. The hypothesis put forward was that low productivity amongst this class of farmers could be due to problems they encounter in the production process. The research was undertaken in the rural areas of Lebowa. Five schemes not linked to a development agency were selected at random. The reason for excluding schemes attached to development agencies was to ensure that only farms on which management is solely by farmers themselves arc included. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire suivey. Major constraints towards increased production were identified as: shortage of land; inadequate irrigation water; lack of management abilities; limited control over factors of production; limited education; unavailability of credit and inefficient market outlets. The following measures are suggested in order to improve agricultural production:- increase in the number of land holdings with freehold ownership of land; provision of efficient market outlets; infrastructure, credit and irrigation water; and provision of better qualified extension workers to improve farmers' knowledge of fanning.

description: Following the successful mapping of the last scattering surface by WMAP and balloon experiments, the epoch of the first stars, when Population III stars formed, is emerging as the next cosmological frontier. It is not clear what these stars' properties were, when they formed or how long their era lasted before leading to the stars and galaxies we see today. We show that these questions can be answered with the current and future measurements of the near-IR cosmic infrared background (CIB). Theoretical arguments suggest that Population III stars were very massive and short-lived stars that formed at $z\sim 10-20$ at rare peaks of the density field in the cold-dark-matter Universe. Because Population III stars probably formed individually in small mini-halos, they are not directly accessible to current telescopic studies. We show that these stars left a strong and measurable signature via their contribution to the CIB anisotropies for a wide range of their formation scenarios. The excess in the recently measured near-IR CIB anisotropies over that from normal galaxies can be explained by contribution from early Population III stars. These results imply that Population III were indeed very massive stars and their epoch started at $z\sim 20$ and lasted past $z\lsim 13$. We show the importance of accurately measuring the CIB anisotropies produced by Population III with future space-based missions.

description: Agricultural researchers, extension workers and developers are faced with the problem that modern improved technology is often rejected by smallholder farmers in developing areas all over the world. The paper analyses the South African problem within the context of the needs and constraints facing smallholder farmers and rural dwellers in developing areas to secure access to markets. Development strategies are briefly proposed arguing the need for comprehensive farmer support programmes. Farming Systems Research and Extension (FSR/E) is identified as an important element of any Farmer Support Programme (FSP). The role of FSR/E in the proposed development strategy is analysed and it is concluded that FSR/E should have as its ultimate goal, the promotion of economic, social and structural change induced by technological transformation at all levels in the rural community. Lessons from five FSR/E studies in South Africa arc highlighted emphasizing: a) identification for research into farmer support systems, community support systems, farmer settlement systems, and commercial farming systems; b) differences in respect of decision-making responsibilities of individuals, groups and households, vis-a-vis implementation responsibilities; c) support specifically structured toward women; d) position and role of livestock and multiple cropping systems and risk avoidance; and e) the need for development goals to be clearly defined and principles and criteria to be followed when considering FSR/ E projects. It is further argued that the present South African initiatives in developing a new research policy offers an unique opportunity to restructure research linking institutions in a network where appropriate technological innovation and delivery is attended to.

description: The Colombo top is a basic model in the rotation dynamics of a celestial body moving on a precessing orbit and perturbed by a gravitational torque. The paper presents a detailed study of analytical solution to this problem. By solving algebraic equations of degree 4, we provide the expressions for the extreme points of trajectories as functions of their energy. The location of stationary points (known as the Cassini states) is found as the function of the two parameters of the problem. Analytical solution in terms the Weierstrass and the Jacobi elliptic functions is given for regular trajectories. Some trajectories are expressible through elementary functions: not only the homoclinic orbits, as expected, but also a special periodic solution whose energy is equal to that of the first Cassini state (unnoticed in previous studies).

description: We present the first application of a new approach, proposed in [Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 43, 04LT01 (2016)] to derive coupling constants of the Skyrme energy density functional (EDF) from ab initio Hamiltonian. By perturbing the ab initio Hamiltonian with several functional generators defining the Skyrme EDF, we create a set of metadata that is then used to constrain the coupling constants of the functional. We use statistical analysis to obtain such an ab initio-equivalent Skyrme EDF. We find that the resulting functional describes properties of atomic nuclei and infinite nuclear matter quite poorly. This may point out to the necessity of building up the ab initio-equivalent functionals from more sophisticated generators. However, we also indicate that the current precision of the ab initio calculations may be insufficient for deriving meaningful nuclear EDFs.

description: In this paper, an elegant mathematical approach is introduced to solve the equations of warm inflationary model without using extra approximations other than slow-roll. This important inflationary method known as Hamilton-Jacobian formalism. Here tachyon field and the imperfect fluid are considered to be the cosmic ingredients to create inflation. A general formalism is developed for the considered inflationary model and further work is restricted to weak dissipative regime. A detailed analysis of the model is presented for three different choices of bulk and dissipative coefficients taking as constant as well as variable (function of Hubble parameter and inflaton). In each case, the involved model parameters are constrained to plot the physical acceptable range of scalar spectral index and tensor to scalar ratio. The parametric trajectories proved that the acquired results for all the three cases are compatible with Planck astrophysical data. Furthermore, the existence of warm inflation and slow-roll limit are also verified graphically.

description: We present a coherent filtering scheme which dramatically reduces the site occupation number defects for atoms in an optical lattice, by transferring a chosen number of atoms to a different internal state via adiabatic passage. With the addition of superlattices it is possible to engineer states with a specific number of atoms per site (atomic crystals), which are required for quantum computation and the realisation of models from condensed matter physics, including doping and spatial patterns. The same techniques can be used to measure two-body spatial correlation functions. We illustrate these ideas with a scheme to study the creation of a BCS state with a chosen filling factor from a degenerate Fermi gas in an optical lattice.

description: A number of scenarios for the formation of multiple populations in globular clusters (GCs) predict that second generation (2G) stars form in a compact and dense subsystem embedded in a more extended first-generation (1G) system. If these scenarios are accurate, a consequence of the denser 2G formation environment is that 2G binaries should be more significantly affected by stellar interactions and disrupted at a larger rate than 1G binaries. The fractions and properties of binary stars can thus provide a dynamical fingerprint of the formation epoch of multiple-population GCs and their subsequent dynamical evolution. We investigate the connection between binaries and multiple populations in five GCs, NGC 288, NGC 6121 (M 4), NGC 6352, NGC 6362, and NGC 6838 (M 71). To do this, we introduce a new method based on the comparison of Hubble Space Telescope observations of binaries in the F275W, F336W, F438W, F606W and F814W filters with a large number of simulated binaries. In the inner regions probed by our data we do not find large differences between the local 1G and the 2G binary incidences in four of the studied clusters, the only exception being M 4 where the 1G binary incidence is about three times larger than the 2G incidence. The results found are in general agreement with the results of simulations predicting significant differences in the global 1G and 2G incidences and in the local values in the clusters' outer regions but similar incidences in the inner regions. The significant difference found in M 4 is consistent with simulations with a larger fraction of wider binaries. Our analysis also provides the first evidence of mixed (1G-2G) binaries, a population predicted by numerical simulations to form in a cluster's inner regions as a result of stellar encounters during which one component of a binary is replaced by a star of a different population.

description: Yaawo beadwork culture has a significant presence in the archives of the British Museum. So far, object biographies of John Moir’s collection of Yaawo beaded hair combs at the British Museum indicate they were acquired through ‘consensual’ commercial dealings. By approaching the complexity of cultural repatriation in praxis, this article aims to explore the following: How should we think of seemingly ‘consensual’ commercial transactions between colonisers and the colonised in the context of cultural repatriation? In what ways can the socio-philosophical boundaries of ‘return’ be expanded in these cases? This research is further proof that early colonial era trade relations are embedded in ethically ambiguous terms of negotiations that cannot always be clearly judged from a contemporary perspective. Cultural objects acquired in this manner face multiple legal constraints when they are discussed in relation to cultural repatriation. Lastly, the article calls for expanding cultural repatriation beyond the materiality of cultural objects, with a redirection towards cultural agency.

description: Muon-spin rotation (muSR) studies of the oxygen isotope (^{16}O/^{18}O) effect (OIE) on the in-plane magnetic field penetration depth lambda_{ab} in cuprate high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are presented. First, the doping dependence of the OIE on the transition temperature T_c in various HTS is briefly discussed. It is observed that different cuprate families show a similar doping dependence of the OIE on T_c. Then, bulk muSR, low-energy muSR, and magnetization studies of the total and site-selective OIE on lambda_{ab} are described in some detail. A substantial OIE on lambda_{ab} was observed in various cuprate families at all doping levels, suggesting that cuprate HTS are non-adiabatic superconductors. The experiments clearly demonstrate that the total OIE on T_c and lambda_{ab} arise from the oxygen sites within the superconducting CuO_2 planes, demonstrating that the phonon modes involving the movement of planar oxygen are dominantly coupled to the supercarriers. Finally, it is shown that the OIE on T_c and lambda_{ab} exhibit a relation that appears to be generic for different families of cuprate HTS. The observation of these unusual isotope effects implies that lattice effects play an essential role in cuprate HTS and have to be considered in any realistic model of high-temperature superconductivity.

Collaboration, Venus, and Mars : The gender factor in intersectoral relations

description: Scholarship across disciplines offers evidence that gender plays a significant role in organizational dynamics. Gender differences in preferences, attitudes, and behaviors affect employee behavior and organizational outcomes. This article extends the gender factor into the realm of interorganizational and intersectoral collaboration to examine not just whether, but also how gender affects the management of these relationships. We analyze these differences in the context of local government– nonprofit organization (NPO) relations in a developing country with data from two 2017 nationally representative surveys of local governments and NPOs in Lebanon. Our results suggest that in maledominated nations like Lebanon, females leading local government organizations are less likely to enter into cross-sector collaborations than their male counterparts, and in the nonprofit sector, gender plays no significant role in the decision to collaborate. However, among existing collaborations, females, as compared with males, have been more likely to both initiate and fund the interorganizational/ intersectoral relationships. These results contribute to the literature on gender, management, and intersectoral collaboration, and offer an agenda for future scholarship on these topics.

description: We study the relaxation dynamics of a quantum Ising chain initially prepared in a product of canonical states corresponding each to an equilibrium state of part of the chain at a given temperature. We focus our attention on the transverse magnetization for which a general expression is given. Explicite results are given for the completely factorized initial state, corresponding to a situation where all the spins are thermalized independently, and for the two-temperatures initial state, where part of the chain called the system is thermalized at a temperature $T_s$ and the remaining part is at a temperature $T_b$.

description: We study the effect of Coulomb interactions on the conductance of a single-mode quantum wire connecting two bulk leads. When the density of electrons in the wire is very low, they arrange in a finite-length Wigner crystal. In this regime the electron spins form an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with exponentially small coupling J. An electric current in the wire perturbs the spin chain and gives rise to a temperature-dependent contribution of the spin subsystem to the resistance. At low temperature T << J this effect is small, and the conductance of the wire remains close to 2e^2/h. At T >> J the spin effect reduces the conductance to e^2/h.

description: We construct fractional branes in Landau-Ginzburg orbifold categories and study their behavior under marginal closed string perturbations. This approach is shown to be more general than the rational boundary state construction. In particular we find new D-branes on the quintic -- such as a single D0-brane -- which are not restrictions of bundles on the ambient projective space. We also exhibit a family of deformations of the D0-brane in the Landau-Ginzburg category parameterized by points on the Fermat quintic.

description: Low-momentum nucleon-nucleon interactions are derived within the framework of a unitary-transformation theory, starting with realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions. A cutoff momentum Lambda is introduced to specify a border between the low- and high-momentum spaces. By the Faddeev-Yakubovsky calculations the low-momentum interactions are investigated with respect to the dependence of ground-state energies of ^3H and ^4He on the parameter Lambda. It is found that we need the momentum cutoff parameter Lambda >= 5 fm^-1 in order to reproduce satisfactorily the exact values of the binding energies for ^3H and ^4He. The calculation with Lambda =2 fm^-1 recommended by Bogner et al. leads to considerable overbinding at least for the few-nucleon systems.
