description: Where Fallow deer (Dama spp.) were once almost extinct, they have now become one of the most widespread wild ungulate species in the world. In South Africa, this species has also been introduced and is now abundant in the country and could contribute to food security within Africa. However, conservation authorities tend to view this ungulate species as an invasive species whilst game farmers see it as a valuable contributor to farm income: as a hunted trophy or as a source of quality and nutritious meat. Surprisingly, very little is known about its production potential and meat quality in South Africa. Fallow deer have been farmed successfully innumerous countries with the industry in New Zealand being the most prominent. All indication are that this species has adapted well to South African conditions and are highly productive. The meat yield and quality of this species is of the highest standard when adequate harvesting procedures are followed. The fatty acid profile of this species is also beneficial for human consumption. However, antidotal information has it that the meat from stags during the rut has a taint to it: the cause of this has not yet been quantified. Initial results (to be discussed) indicate that the meat quality of this species is of the highest standard typical of wild game animals. However, the distribution of this species needs to be quantified so that strategies can be developed to develop its potential as a sustainable protein source fit for human consumption. The ecological impact of this species also needs to be quantified so that, if required, adequate legislation can be developed to either curb or grow the potential deer farming industry.

Seasonal Predictability and Spatial Coherence of Rainfall Characteristics in the Tropical Setting of Senegal

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Rain and rainfall--Analysis
Meteorology

description: This study examines space–time characteristics of seasonal rainfall predictability in a tropical region by analyzing observed data and model simulations over Senegal. Predictability is analyzed in terms of the spatial coherence of observed interannual variability at the station scale, and within-ensemble coherence of general circulation model (GCM) simulations with observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) prescribed. Seasonal mean rainfall anomalies are decomposed in terms of daily rainfall frequency and daily mean intensity. The observed spatial coherence is computed from a 13-station network of daily rainfall during the July–September season 1961–98 in terms of (i) interannual variability of a standardized anomaly index (i.e., the average of the normalized anomalies of each station), (ii) the external variance (i.e., the fraction of common variance among stations), and (iii) the number of spatiotemporal degrees of freedom. Spatial coherence of interannual anomalies across stations is found to be much stronger for seasonal rainfall amount and daily occurrence frequency, compared with daily mean intensity of rainfall. Combinatorial analysis of the station observations suggests that, for occurrence and seasonal amount, the empirical number of spatial degrees of freedom is largely insensitive to the number of stations considered, and is between 3 and 4 for Senegal. For daily mean intensity, by contrast, each station is found to convey almost independent information, and the number of degrees of freedom would be expected to increase for a denser network of stations. The GCM estimates of potential predictability and skill associated with the SST forcing are found to be remarkably consistent with those inferred from the observed spatial coherence: there is a moderate-to-strong skill at reproducing the interannual variations of seasonal amounts and rainfall occurrence, whereas the skill is weak for the mean intensity of rainfall. Over Senegal during July–September, it is concluded that (i) regional-scale seasonal amount and rainfall occurrence frequency are predictable from SSTs, (ii) daily mean intensity of rainfall is spatially incoherent and largely unpredictable at the regional scale, and (iii) point-score estimates of seasonal rainfall predictability and skill are subject to large sampling variability.

description: We study verification of systems whose transitions consist of accesses to a Web-based data-source. An access is a lookup on a relation within a relational database, fixing values for a set of positions in the relation. For example, a transition can represent access to a Web form, where the user is restricted to filling in values for a particular set of fields. We look at verifying properties of a schema describing the possible accesses of such a system. We present a language where one can describe the properties of an access path, and also specify additional restrictions on accesses that are enforced by the schema. Our main property language, AccLTL, is based on a first-order extension of linear-time temporal logic, interpreting access paths as sequences of relational structures. We also present a lower-level automaton model, Aautomata, which AccLTL specifications can compile into. We show that AccLTL and A-automata can express static analysis problems related to "querying with limited access patterns" that have been studied in the database literature in the past, such as whether an access is relevant to answering a query, and whether two queries are equivalent in the accessible data they can return. We prove decidability and complexity results for several restrictions and variants of AccLTL, and explain which properties of paths can be expressed in each restriction.

We report results on partial branching fractions and isospin asymmetries in seven bins of di-lepton mass-squared. We further present CP and lepton-flavor asymmetries for di-lepton masses below and above the J/psi resonance. We find no evidence for CP or lepton-flavor violation. The partial branching fractions and isospin asymmetries are consistent with the Standard Model predictions and with results from other experiments.

Report on analysis of biographical narratives exploring shortand long-term adaptive behaviour of farmers under various challenges: Part 2. Compiled Country Narrative Reports
Creators: name: Midmore, Peter
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Resilience over time is achieved across the increasingly fundamental attributes of robustness, adaptability and transformability, representing system responses to short, medium and long-term external drivers, respectively. Analysis of narratives can be used to enable researchers to gain indepth understanding of the rationale surrounding farmer decision making when faced with drivers of change, and how farmers manage critical decision points in their farming businesses. This report assesses personal histories of family farms, and business histories of corporate farms, to identify phases in the separate production, demographic and policy adaptive cycles as they have impacted on the individuals concerned and their business enterprises. Biographical stories were collected from nine to ten narrators (early-, mid- and late-career),in each of five case studies chosen to represent a range of regions and farming systems in Europe. A single question was used to initiate the narrators’ stories, without qualification beforehand, supported only with expressions of interest and encouragement in the first part of the interview, with subsequent exploratory questions devoted to clarifying the internal structure of the narrative.

description: Using microsimulation techniques to estimate the impact of welfare reform in New York, we find that 5 years after federal and state reforms child-care use and costs will rise substantially and families will bear most of these costs. When family incomes are adjusted for child-care costs, most single-mother families will continue to be poor even with greater earnings, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and food stamps. The distribution of child-care costs between government and families, and the implications for poverty, will depend on the extent to which government subsidizes the child-care costs of single mothers.

description: We introduce an electronic model for solar cells including energy resolved defect densities. The resulting drift-diffusion model corresponds to a generalized van Roosbroeck system with additional source terms coupled with ODEs containing space and energy as parameters for all defect densities. The system has to be considered in heterostructures and with mixed boundary conditions from device simulation. We give a weak formulation of the problem. If the boundary data and the sources are compatible with thermodynamic equilibrium the free energy along solutions decays monotonously. In other cases it may be increasing, but we estimate its growth. We establish boundedness and uniqueness results and prove the existence of a weak solution. This is done by considering a regularized problem, showing its solvability and the boundedness of its solutions independent of the regularization level.

description: Maḍkai (Marcaim) was one of strongholds of Nagan Nāyak’s family; the ruins of their fortress still stand on the Maḍkai hill, locally known as the Desāyanchô Buruz. Their other fortress was in Rāsai (Rassaim). The family had residences at two other places – at Bōkaḍbāg, Bāṁḍôḍeṁ and in Kuṁbhārzuvēṁ island. Of these the first three villages are close to each other; the last being reasonably distant. But all these four villages, along with some other villages associated with the family, probably mark the milestones in its long history, which we shall soon explore. Probably for the longest spell of this history the family was based at Rāsai. [Sardesai, unpublished : The Naik Pratap Rao Sardesai Family of Goa, 21] This village is in the north-east of Sāṣṭī mahāl, where it borders the Antruz mahāl, separated by a relatively narrow course of Zuari river; Rāsai was probably one of the smaller ones among the plethora of ports that sprung up on the river in the early centuries of the Common Era; the bigger ones being Kuṭṭhāḷ (Cortalim), Sāṁkhvāḷ (Sancoale), Kēḷśī (Quelossim), Lōṭlī (Loutulim), etc. Bāṁḍôḍeṁ is in Antruz mahāl, across the river from Rāsai.

description: The World Health Organization defines food security when all people have sustained access to good food to maintain life and can do so in socially and culturally acceptable ways. The food should be good in quantity and quality to maintain a healthy life. However, Sub Saharan Africa is entangled and controlled by a rain-fed agricultural scenario. Food insecurity and poverty cannot be tackled without first addressing the issues of sustainable agriculture and rural development in this region. Conversion of agricultural development agendas and wildlife management strategies into genuine action on the ground requires total political and resource commitment. Socioeconomic and technological characteristics of country food Ag-innovation strategies probably hold part of the answer to mitigation and adaptation to nutritional problems of the region. From Nigeria to southern Africa, many people rely on cattle and wildlife production for their economic livelihoods and nutritional stasis, however overuse of the communal grazing areas and suboptimal grazing practices threaten the long-term viability of the land and contribute to persistent food insecurity. To increase the productivity of livestock and other animals using the land, programs must be designed to help communities improve their livestock practices, address rangeland degradation, add shelf stability to country food processing methods, and improve market access and most importantly feed people. This presentation will discuss how the adaptation ag-innovation and the use of ready to eat processing technology will be applied to improve the sustainability of resources in target central and southern African regions. However, application of technology will go hand-in-hand with personal and cultural empowerment. Lessons learned in similar circumstance of food insecurity in Canada's Arctic will be applied in projects in Sub Saharan Africa.

description: We present and analyze a model of an evolving sandpile surface in (2 + 1) dimensions where the dynamics of mobile grains (ρ(x, t)) and immobile clusters (h(x, t)) are coupled. Our coupling models the situation where the sandpile is flat on average, so that there is no bias due to gravity. We find anomalous scaling: the expected logarithmic smoothing at short length and time scales gives way to roughening in the asymptotic limit, where novel and non-trivial exponents are found.

description: We study the mechanical quality factors of bilayer aluminum/silicon-nitride membranes. By coating ultrahigh-Q Si3N4 membranes with a more lossy metal, we can precisely measure the effect of material loss on Q's of tensioned resonator modes over a large range of frequencies. We develop a theoretical model that interprets our results and predicts the damping can be reduced significantly by patterning the metal film. Using such patterning, we fabricate Al-Si3N4 membranes with ultrahigh Q at room temperature. Our work elucidates the role of material loss in the Q of membrane resonators and informs the design of hybrid mechanical oscillators for optical-electrical-mechanical quantum interfaces.

description: Effective and fast convergence toward an equilibrium state for long-chain polymer melts is realized by a hybrid method coupling molecular dynamics and the elastic continuum. The required simulation time to achieve the equilibrium state is reduced drastically compared with conventional equilibration methods. The polymers move on a wide range of the energy landscape due to large-scale fluctuation generated by the elastic continuum. A variety of chain structures is generated in the polymer melt which results in the fast convergence to the equilibrium state.

Immunosuppressive myeloid cells under normal and neoplastic conditions
Creators: name: Hamilton, Melisa June
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Although the importance of immunomodulatory myeloid cells in both normal physiology and carcinogenesis is well established, many questions remain regarding the specific roles and regulation of these cells. In this thesis, we explore the immunosuppressive features of macrophages [Mφs] and elucidate the mechanisms by which they suppress T cell proliferation/activation, the factors that regulate their suppressive properties, the relative potency of macrophage suppression compared to other myeloid cells, such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and the role these cells play in promoting tumor growth and metastasis. We demonstrate herein that in response to interferon (IFN)-beta, which is secreted by activated T cells, resident macrophages from non-tumor-bearing mice acquire immunosuppressive properties that are mediated by nitric oxide (NO). Moreover, our data reveal a novel role for Toll-like receptor (TLR)-induced IFN-beta in regulating the immunosuppressive properties of macrophages. We also demonstrate for the first time that in vitro culture conditions profoundly affect the immunosuppressive functions of MDSCs. Specifically, we show that serum antagonizes the suppressive abilities of MDSCs from 4T1 tumor-bearing mice and that the major serum protein albumin mediates these effects, in part by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production from MDSCs. These findings have important implications, since the accurate detection and quantification of immunosuppression is critical for both the identification and functional analysis of tumor-induced MDSCs. We also explore the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of tumor-induced myeloid cells and compare the immunosuppressive functions of different populations isolated from normal and tumor-bearing mice. We show that tumors that induce the accumulation of myeloid cells also enhance the suppressive functions of these cells. In addition, we demonstrate that, in vitro, tumor-induced macrophages are significantly more potent immune suppressors than tumor-induced MDSCs on a per cell basis, and suppress T cell responses via distinct mechanisms. Finally, we present data showing that treating metastatic mammary tumor-bearing mice with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) decreases MDSCs, increases macrophages, and enhances metastatic growth. Taken together, these findings advance our understanding of the factors that regulate myeloid cell functions in normal and neoplastic tissues and may lead to improved immunotherapies to treat human disease.

Les biomatériaux sont particulièrement bien représentés au CCE, notamment parce que les principaux musées alsaciens, par manque de place et de locaux adaptés, ne peuvent parfois pas les accueillir lorsqu’il s’agit de lots importants (faune notamment). Ils sont dès lors conservés au CCE dans des dépôts spécifiques afin de garantir une conservation et une gestion optimale, en fonction de leur nature. Des échanges réguliers avec les spécialistes ont pour objectif d’enrichir progressivement les inventaires avec les données d’étude. Grâce aux salles d’étude du CCE, comprenant également des collections de référence, ces restes sont régulièrement étudiés et facilement accessibles. Des protocoles et procédures à respecter en cas de prélèvement pour analyses destructrices ont été récemment élaborés afin de cadrer au mieux les nombreuses sollicitations.

Biomaterials are particularly well represented at the CCE, notably because the main Alsatian museums, due to a lack of space and suitable premises, are sometimes unable to accommodate them when large lots are involved (fauna in particular). They are therefore kept at the CCE in specific depots in order to guarantee optimal conservation and management, according to their nature. Regular exchanges with specialists aim to gradually enrich the inventories with study data. Thanks to the CCE’s study rooms, which also include reference collections, these remains are regularly studied and easily accessible. Protocols and procedures to be followed in the event of sampling for destructive analyses have recently been drawn up in order to better manage the numerous requests.

description: The presence of clinically significant uterine synechiae, or Asherman's syndrome, is suspected when patients with a history of intrauterine instrumentation have new-onset menstrual disturbances, infertility, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Synechiae are typically attributed to instrumentation of a gravid or puerperal uterus. We present two cases in which uterine synechiae resulted from transmural uterine incisions. Hysteroscopic resection of adhesions bridging the anterior and posterior endometrial surfaces restored intrauterine anatomy. However, reproductive potential was still compromised. These cases highlight the need for increased vigilance to avoid iatrogenic intrauterine synechiae during repair of transmural uterine incisions.

description: Gauge/gravity duality has proved to be a very successful tool for describing strongly coupled systems in particle physics and heavy ion physics. The application of the gauge/gravity duality to quantum matter is a promising candidate to explain questions concerning non-zero temperature dynamics and transport coefficients. To a large extent, the success of applications of gauge/gravity duality to the quark-gluon plasma is founded on the derivation of a universal result, the famous ratio of shear viscosity and entropy density. As a base for applications to condensed matter physics, it is highly desirable to have a similar universal relation in this context as well. A candidate for such a universal law is given by Homes' law: High Tc superconductors, as well as some conventional superconductors, exhibit a universal scaling relation between the superfluid density at zero temperature and the conductivity at the critical temperature times the critical temperature itself. In this work we describe progress in employing the models of holographic superconductors to realize Homes' law and to find a universal relation governing strongly correlated quantum matter. We calculate diffusive processes, including the backreaction of the gravitational matter fields on the geometry. We consider both holographic s-wave and p-wave superconductors. We show that a particular form of Homes' law holds in the absence of backreaction. Moreover, we suggest further steps to be taken for holographically realizing Homes' law more generally in the presence of backreaction.

Two-vortex structure of electron, nonlocality and Dirac equation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: The dimensionless electromagnetic coupling constant $α=e^2 /\hbar c$ may have three interpretations: as the well known ratio between the electron charge radius $e^2/mc^2$ and the Compton wavelength of electron $λ_c= \hbar /mc$, as a ratio of two angular momenta since Planck constant has the dimension of angular momentum, and two flux quanta $e$ and $hc/e$. The anomalous part of the electron magnetic moment together with the unified picture of the three interpretations of $α$ is suggested to have deep physical significance. The electric charge is proposed to be a new quantum of flux such that a two-vortex structure of electron is envisaged. In analogy with quantum conditions we postulate sub-quantum conditions applicable in a region of the order of $λ_c$ replacing $\hbar$ by a universal constant $f=e^2 /2πc$ and apply it to Dirac equation in internal space that gives rise to the anomalous magnetic moment of electron. Dirac spinor and 2-spinor representation for vortex structure of electron in the single particle Dirac framework are discussed. The role of sub-quantum rules and the internal variables for developing the present ideas is also debated. A critical discussion on the past attempts to give fundamental importance to magnetism and flux quantum is given to delineate the new ideas in the present work.

description: Recently, we have applied for the first time the angular momentum and isospin projected nuclear density functional theory to calculate the isospin-symmetry breaking (ISB) corrections to the superallowed beta-decay. With the calculated set of the ISB corrections we found |V_{ud}|=0.97447(23) for the leading element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. This is in nice agreement with both the recent result of Towner and Hardy [Phys. Rev. {\bf C77}, 025501 (2008)] and the central value deduced from the neutron decay. In this work we extend our calculations of the ISB corrections covering all superallowed transitions A,I^π=0^+,T=1,T_z \rightarrow A,I^π=0^+,T=1,T_z+1 with T_z =-1,0 and A ranging from 10 to 74.

description: The seasonal cycle over the tropical Pacific simulated by 11 coupled ocean–atmosphere general circulation models (GCMs) is examined. Each model consists of a high-resolution ocean GCM of either the tropical Pacific or near-global means coupled to a moderate- or high-resolution atmospheric GCM, without the use of flux correction. The seasonal behavior of sea surface temperature (SST) and eastern Pacific rainfall is presented for each model. The results show that current state-of-the-art coupled GCMs share important successes and troublesome systematic errors. All 11 models are able to simulate the mean zonal gradient in SST at the equator over the central Pacific. The simulated equatorial cold tongue generally tends to be too strong, too narrow, and extend too far west. SSTs are generally too warm in a broad region west of Peru and in a band near 10°S. This is accompanied in some models by a double intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) straddling the equator over the eastern Pacific, and in others by an ITCZ that migrates across the equator with the seasons; neither behavior is realistic. There is considerable spread in the simulated seasonal cycles of equatorial SST in the eastern Pacific. Some simulations do capture the annual harmonic quite realistically, although the seasonal cold tongue tends to appear prematurely. Others overestimate the amplitude of the semiannual harmonic. Nonetheless, the results constitute a marked improvement over the simulations of only a few years ago when serious climate drift was still widespread and simulated zonal gradients of SST along the equator were often very weak.

description: The electronic structure of nanocrystalline (nc-) TiC/amorphous C nanocomposites has been investigated by soft x-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy. The measured spectra at the Ti 2p and C 1s thresholds of the nanocomposites are compared to those of Ti metal and amorphous C. The corresponding intensities of the electronic states for the valence and conduction bands in the nanocomposites are shown to strongly depend on the TiC carbide grain size. An increased charge-transfer between the Ti 3d-eg states and the C 2p states has been identified as the grain size decreases, causing an increased ionicity of the TiC nanocrystallites. It is suggested that the charge-transfer occurs at the interface between the nanocrystalline TiC and the amorphous C matrix and represents an interface bonding which may be essential for the understanding of the properties of nc-TiC/amorphous C and similar nanocomposites.

description: Recent development of paleo-nutrient proxies based on the phosphorus/calcium (P/Ca) ratio in tropical- and deep-water corals (also known as cold-water corals) require an understanding of the processes by which P is incorporated into the coral skeletal aragonite. Here, we apply single- and double-resonance solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine the speciation of P in coral aragonite. The results show that the majority of P occurs as phosphate defects in the aragonite structure, but in many samples a significant fraction of the P occurs also in crystalline hydroxylapatite inclusions. Quantification of the amount of hydroxylapatite indicates that its presence is not related simply to external environmental factors and that it can occur at varying abundances in different parts of the same corallite. Since there is currently no model available to describe the relationship between dissolved inorganic phosphate and its incorporation as apatite inclusions into carbonates, careful screening of samples which contain only phosphate in the aragonite structure or selective microsampling could improve proxy development.
On bundles of rank 3 computing Clifford indices

description: Let $C$ be a smooth irreducible projective algebraic curve defined over the complex numbers. The notion of the Clifford index of $C$ was extended a few years ago to semistable bundles of any rank. Recent work has been focussed mainly on the rank-2 Clifford index, although interesting results have also been obtained for the case of rank 3. In this paper we extend this work, obtaining improved lower bounds for the rank-3 Clifford index. This allows the first computations of the rank-3 index in non-trivial cases and examples for which the rank-3 index is greater than the rank-2 index.

description: Hypothesis: The public health system has a specialized body of knowledge and expertise in bioterrorism and public health emergency management that can assist in the development and delivery of continuing medical education programs to meet the needs of emergency medical service providers. Methods: A nationally representative sample of the basic and paramedic
emergency medical service providers in the United States was surveyed to assess whether they had received training in weapons of mass destruction, bioterrorism, chemical terrorism, radiological terrorism, and/or public health emergencies, and how the training was provided. Results: Local health
departments provided little in the way of training in biologic, chemical, or radiological terrorism to responders (7.4%- 14.9%). State health departments provided even less training (6.3%- 17.3%) on all topics to emergency medical services providers. Training that was provided by the health department
in bioterrorism and public health emergency response was associated with responder comfort in responding to a bioterrorism event (OR = 2.74, 95% CI = 2.68, 2.81). Conclusions: Local and state public health agencies should
work with the emergency medical services systems to develop and deliver training with an all-hazards approach

description: Wildlife Ranching was born at the time when passionate individuals thought it was possible to conserve the dwindling wildlife resources of Africa by commercialising the utilization of animals and other natural resources. These pioneering individuals started to perceive realistic outcomes for wildlife management in Africa at a stage when most natural resources were becoming, or were already, under immense pressure from the ever expanding human population but also from the ever increasing sophistication of ruthless exploiters as personalised by poaching syndicates and money grabbers. The initial successes in this regard of pioneers like Ian Player, Norman Atherstone, Zacharias Young, Alec Rough and Jan Oelofse are today legendary, but greatly obscured by the tremendous tide of commercialisation that got a very strong foothold in a venture these days often referred to as an 'industry'. In terms of the long view regarding planetary health, commitment to social responsibility, participation by the less privileged, poverty alleviation and food security, it will be to the advantage of every individual on earth to contemplate the wise and sustainable management and utilization of our natural resources and through that the ultimate wellbeing of humankind. This presentation deals with topics like rhino horn trade, breeding of colour variant antelopes and methods to engage African communities in wildlife ranching to ultimately ensure positive outcomes for human advancement, food security, conservation ethics, and a heritable and healthy earth for posterity from an African perspective.
