description: We will utilize the sensitivity of SIRTF through the Legacy Science Program to carry out spectrophotometric observations of solar-type stars aimed at (1) defining the timescales over which terrestrial and gas giant planets are built, from measurements diagnostic of dust/gas masses and radial distributions; and (2) establishing the diversity of planetary architectures and the frequency of planetesimal collisions as a function of time through observations of circumstellar debris disks. Together, these observations will provide an astronomical context for understanding whether our solar system - and its habitable planet - is a common or a rare circumstance. Achieving our science goals requires measuring precise spectral energy distributions for a statistically robust sample capable of revealing evolutionary trends and the diversity of system outcomes. Our targets have been selected from two carefully assembled databases of solar-like stars: (1) a sample located within 50 pc of the Sun spanning an age range from 100-3000 Myr for which a rich set of ancillary measurements (e.g. metallicity, stellar activity, kinematics) are available; and (2) a selection located between 15 and 180 pc and spanning ages from 3 to 100 Myr. For stars at these distances SIRTF is capable of detecting stellar photospheres with SNR >30 at lambda < 24 microns for our entire sample, as well as achieving SNR >5 at the photospheric limit for over 50% of our sample at lambda=70 microns. Thus we will provide a complete census of stars with excess emission down to the level produced by the dust in our present-day solar system.

description: A series of N-[1-benzyl-2-oxo-2-substituted(ethyl)] benzene/p-toluene sulfonamide (K1–K12) are synthesized. Structure of the synthesized analogues has been confirmed by FT-IR, 1H & 13C NMR and ESI-MS spectroscopic techniques. All the synthesized analogues (K1-K12) have also been examined for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. Compounds showed good antibacterial and antifungal activity against standard drug. Anticancer study has been carried out on three cancer cell lines PC-3, MCF-7 and A549 on two different concentrations (mg/ml and μg/ml). The K4 sulfonamide analogue showed better anticancer activity amongst all analogues against PC-3 and A549 cell lines. K4 inhibit G0/G1 phase in cell cycle analysis experiment. All synthesized molecules (K1-K12) dock at junction p53-DNA and make hydrogen bonded with residues of p53 protein as per docking study. ADMET predictions of synthesized phenylalanine sulfonamide analogues (K1-K12) has been done using “Lipinski rule” and it has been observed that all synthesized analogues did not violate the rule. Electronic, chemical properties and mulliken atomic charges of analogues were calculated using density functional theory (DFT).

description: This study compares the effectiveness of five crop insurance/disaster assistance plans: an individual farm yield insurance plan similar to the current FCIC multi-peril program ; two area yield insurance plans; a farm yield disaster assistance plan; and an area yield disaster assistance plan. These methods are examined for reduction in yield and gross income variability with and without participation in the government deficiency payment programs using farm-level yield data from 98 dryland wheat farms and 38 dryland corn farms in Kansas . Although individual farm yield insurance is complex, suffers from moral hazard and adverse selection problems, and is likely to be the most expensive to administer , it provides more yield and gross income risk reduction than any of the alternative insurance/disaster assistance plans.

Incompleteness and Jump Hierarchies

description: This paper is an investigation of the relationship between Gödel's second incompleteness theorem and the well-foundedness of jump hierarchies. It follows from a classic theorem of Spector's that the relation $\{(A,B) \in \mathbb{R}^2 : \mathcal{O}^A \leq_H B\}$ is well-founded. We provide an alternative proof of this fact that uses Gödel's second incompleteness theorem instead of the theory of admissible ordinals. We then derive a semantic version of the second incompleteness theorem, originally due to Mummert and Simpson, from this result. Finally, we turn to the calculation of the ranks of reals in this well-founded relation. We prove that, for any $A\in\mathbb{R}$, if the rank of $A$ is $α$, then $ω_1^A$ is the $(1 + α)^{\text{th}}$ admissible ordinal. It follows, assuming suitable large cardinal hypotheses, that, on a cone, the rank of $X$ is $ω_1^X$.

description: We investigate the constraints on basic cosmological parameters set by the first compact-configuration observations of the Very Small Array (VSA), and other cosmological data sets, in the standard inflationary LambdaCDM model. Using a weak prior 40 < H_0 < 90 km/s/Mpc and 0 < tau < 0.5 we find that the VSA and COBE_DMR data alone produce the constraints Omega_tot = 1.03^{+0.12}_{-0.12}, Omega_bh^2 = 0.029^{+0.009}_{-0.009}, Omega_cdm h^2 = 0.13^{+0.08}_{-0.05} and n_s = 1.04^{+0.11}_{-0.08} at the 68 per cent confidence level. Adding in the type Ia supernovae constraints, we additionally find Omega_m = 0.32^{+0.09}_{-0.06} and Omega_Lambda = 0.71^{+0.07}_{-0.07}. These constraints are consistent with those found by the BOOMERanG, DASI and MAXIMA experiments. We also find that, by combining all the recent CMB experiments and assuming the HST key project limits for H_0 (for which the X-ray plus Sunyaev--Zel'dovich route gives a similar result), we obtain the tight constraints Omega_m=0.28^{+0.14}_{-0.07} and Omega_Lambda= 0.72^{+0.07}_{-0.13}, which are consistent with, but independent of, those obtained using the supernovae data.

description: This working paper outlines the aims, process, and outcomes of an evidence review, conducted over five months, from April to August 2022, to map the evidence landscape and identify key gaps across Jordan’s education system, particularly those related to services provided to and affected by the influx of Syrian refugee students. The evidence review was part of a larger, multi-country research program known as Education Research in Conflict and Protracted Crisis (ERICC), funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). The review was driven by five key questions derived from the ERICC Conceptual Framework on the current state of educational outcomes across local and policy levels. These outcomes are shaped by four drivers of learning – access, quality, continuity, and coherence – that affect outcomes across the system. The evidence review ultimately included 48 studies related to the Jordan education system, which were reviewed and coded based on ERICC’s Conceptual Framework. The evidence review highlighted seven key evidence gaps, which aided researchers in collaboratively developing a national research agenda, with national stakeholders, to guide further studies in the area of education provision in conflict-affected settings. The seven identified gaps, in which more evidence is needed to inform policy and related interventions are: (1) literacy, referring to the widespread lack of reading fluency and comprehension in the Arabic language among students, (2) the gender achievement gap, (3) teachers, including quality and management, (4) inclusion, particularly of students with disabilities, (5) early childhood education (kindergartens), (6) data systems, and (7) refugee education.

Planetary Magnetic Field Control of Ion Escape from Weakly Magnetized Planets

description: Intrinsic magnetic fields have long been thought to shield planets from atmospheric erosion via stellar winds; however, the influence of the plasma environment on atmospheric escape is complex. Here we study the influence of a weak intrinsic dipolar planetary magnetic field on the plasma environment and subsequent ion escape from a Mars sized planet in a global three-dimensional hybrid simulation. We find that increasing the strength of a planet's magnetic field enhances ion escape until the magnetic dipole's standoff distance reaches the induced magnetosphere boundary. After this point increasing the planetary magnetic field begins to inhibit ion escape. This reflects a balance between shielding of the southern hemisphere from ``misaligned" ion pickup forces and trapping of escaping ions by an equatorial plasmasphere. Thus, the planetary magnetic field associated with the peak ion escape rate is critically dependent on the stellar wind pressure. Where possible we have fit power laws for the variation of fundamental parameters (escape rate, escape power, polar cap opening angle and effective interaction area) with magnetic field, and assessed upper and lower limits for the relationships.

description: This study draws upon literature from the fields of agricultural economics, industrial organization, and business to study the performance of supermarkets in the United States. The empirical work draws from a rich dataset on the characteristics of supermarkets across the U.S. to test several hypotheses. Supermarkets utilizing everyday low pricing operate more efficiently than those using other strategies. Stores increase their performance by using strategies of their closest competitors. Competition with hypermarkets results in decreased supermarket performance, especially for smaller stores. Increases in private label sales relative to national brand sales are not necessarily related to increased performance.

description: Imposing a constraint of the sound-speed profile determined from helioseismology and updating the microphysics, we have revised our seismic solar model, constructed with the assumption of a homogeneous metal abundance distribution, and have shown that the theoretically expected neutrino fluxes are still significantly more than the observations. With the same sound-speed profile constraint, we also constructed solar models with low metal abundance in the core, and evaluated the neutrino fluxes of these models to see if nonstandard solar models with a low metal core can solve the solar neutrino problem. Some of these models are in agreement with the Homestake data, the Super-Kamiokande data, and the sound-speed profile simultaneously, but none of these satisfy both the neutrino flux data, including GALLEX and SAGE, and the helioseismically determined density profile.

description: Weed control is the most labor-demanding aspect of row-crop agriculture in the absence of herbicides. The past century has seen weed management in the United States evolve from horse-drawn cultivators to broad-spectrum herbicides on herbicide-tolerant crops. Three waves of technological change have driven the evolution. Current weed control technologies are Mechanical (for organic products), Chemical (when herbicide resistant weeds require multiple herbicides for effective weed control), and Genetic + Chemical (herbicide-tolerant crop). Cost analysis for a representative Midwestern farm shows that these three systems have decreasing requirements in both capital and labor.

Subjects: subject: classical lamination theory
subject: Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM)
subject: fibre reinforced polymer composite materials

description: In this thesis, an overview of the fibre and matrix options are provided, and the structural performance models for FRPs are considered. Prediction of the structural behaviour of laminates using Classical lamination theory (CLT) is considered in detail. In doing so, the relationship between the applied load and the internal ply stresses and strains is addressed. Moreover, a focus is provided on the prediction of structural microcrack damage and its influence on cross-ply laminate behaviour. Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM) models offer an accurate prediction of microcracking, but tend to focus on crack initiation and crack density predictions, rather than the effect of damage accumulation on the macro-scale (stress-strain) behaviour. Herein, this shortcoming is addressed - a model of cross-ply microcracking and its impact on the stress-strain behaviour of cross-ply laminates is introduced using a combination of structural CLT and microcracking FFM models. The FFM model calculates the stiffness reductions that inform the CLT model. The requisite mechanical and thermal properties used in the coupled CLT-FFM model are determined experimental, and the structural behaviour of [0m/90n]s and [90n/0m]s cross-ply laminates is described using the new micromechanical model. The combination of CLT and FFM successfully offers a simultaneous micro- and macro-scale prediction of cross-ply laminate behaviour up to catastrophic failure. The model is compared favourably to empirical measurements.

description: Let $n \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 3}.$ Given any Borel subset $A$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite and nonzero measure, we prove that the probability that the set of primitive points of a random full-rank unimodular lattice in $\mathbb{R}^n$ does not contain any $\mathbb{R}$-linearly independent subset of $A$ of cardinality $(n-2)$ is bounded from above by a constant multiple, which depends only on $n$, of $\left(\mathrm{vol}(A)\right)^{-1}.$ This generalizes a result that is jointly due to J. S. Athreya and G. A. Margulis (see \cite[Theorem 2.2]{Log}). We also generalize independent results of C. A. Rogers (see \cite[Theorem 6]{MeanRog}) and W. M. Schmidt (see \cite[Theorem 1]{Metrical}) about primitive lattice points of random lattices to the case of primitive tuples of rank less than $\frac{n}{2}.$ In addition to the work of the authors who were just mentioned, a crucial element of this present paper is the usage of a rearrangement inequality due to Brascamp\textendash Lieb\textendash Luttinger (see \cite[Theorem 3.4]{BLL}).

description: HD 326823 is a peculiar emission line object. In the literature it was considered as a pre-WN candidate. Based mainly on high resolution data, obtained with the FEROS spectrograph, we made an atlas covering 3800-9200A region. This atlas confirms the presence of several strong HeI lines and numerous N lines. There is also a deficiency of H, indicating that this object is indeed in an evolved stage. In addition, with low resolution spectra, we obtained intensities of several lines.

description: This paper gives lower bounds on the spectral radius of vertex-transitive graphs, based on the number of ``prime cycles'' at a vertex. The bounds are obtained by constructing circuits in the graph that resemble ``cactus trees'', and enumerating them. Counting these circuits gives a coefficient-wise underestimation of the Green function of the graph, and hence and underestimation of its spectral radius. The bounds obtained are very good for the Cayley graph of surface groups of genus g>=2, with standard generators (these graphs are the 1-skeletons of tessellations of hyperbolic plane by 4g-gons, 4g per vertex). We have for example for g=2 0.662420<=|M|<=0.662816, and for g=3 0.552773<=|M|<=0.552792.

description: The inherently global, connected nature of aviation means that carbon leakage from aviation policy does not necessarily behave similarly to leakage from other sectors. We model carbon leakage from a range of aviation policy test cases applied to a specific country (the United Kingdom), motivated by a desire to reduce aviation CO2 faster than achievable by currently-planned global mitigation efforts in pursuit of a year-2050 net zero CO2 target. We find that there are two main components to leakage: one related to passenger behaviour, which tends to result in emissions reductions outside the policy area (negative leakage), and one related to airline behaviour, which tends to result in emissions increases outside the policy area (positive leakage). The overall leakage impact of a policy, and whether it is positive or negative, depends on the balance of these two components and the geographic scope used, and varies for different policy types. In our simulations, carbon pricing-type policies were associated with leakage of between +50 and −150% depending on what is assumed about scope and the values of uncertain parameters. Mandatory biofuel use was associated with positive leakage of around 0–40%, and changes in airport landing costs to promote more fuel-efficient aircraft were associated with positive leakage of 50–150%. Key policy insightsCarbon leakage in aviation policy arises from airline responses (typically positive leakage) and passenger responses (typically negative leakage).Depending on the geographical scope, policy type and values for uncertain parameters, leakage may be between around −150 to +150%.Of the policies investigated in this study, leakage was typically most negative for carbon pricing and most positive for environmental landing charges.Absolute values of leakage are smallest where policies are considered on the basis of all arriving and departing flights.

description: Micropollutants (MPs) include organic chemicals, for example, pharmaceuticals and personal care products. MPs have been detected in the aquatic environment at low concentrations (ng/L–µg/L), which may lead to negative impacts on the ecosystem and humans. Phytoremediation is a green clean-up technology, which utilizes plants and their associated rhizosphere microorganisms to remove pollutants. The selection of plant species is important for the effectiveness of the phytoremediation of MPs. The plant species Phragmites australis, Typha angustifolia, and Juncus effuses are often used for MP removal. In this study, batch experiments were conducted to select plant species with an optimal ability to remove MPs, study the effect of temperature on MP removal in plants and the phytotoxicity of MPs. This study also explored the degradation of a persistent MP propranolol in plants in more detail. Data show that all three investigated plant species removed most MPs efficiently (close to 100 %) at both 10 and 21.5 °C. The tested plant species showed a different ability to translocate and accumulate propranolol in plant tissues. Typha angustifolia and Juncus effuses had a higher tolerance to the tested MPs than Phragmites australis. Typha angustifolia and Juncus effuses are recommended to be applied for phytoremediation of MPs. Novelty statement  The novelty of this study is the selection of Typha angustifolia and Juncus effuses as proper plant species for phytoremediation of micropollutants (MPs). These two plant species were selected due to their good ability to remove MPs, tolerate low temperature, and resist the toxicity of MPs. The outcomes from this study can also be applied for constructed wetlands in removing MPs from wastewater. This study demonstrates the uptake and degradation processes of persistent MP propranolol in plants in more detail. Understanding the degradation mechanisms of a MP in plants is significant not only for the application of phytoremediation on MP removal but also for the development of constructed wetland studies.

description: The study analyses the role of multiple binding constraints such as information, extension services, availability of labourers and irrigation in conditioning System of Rice Intensification (SRI) adoption by rice farmers in selected rice producing districts of India. The multiple thresholds that farmers need to overcome are analysed using a multi-hurdle model which explicitly incorporates the impact of constraints in adoption decisions. The results showed that age of the farmer reduced the access to information whereas the size of the farm increased the access to information. Gender of the head of the household, education, membership in farmer organisations etc. was crucial in getting access to extension services. Age of the household head, full time farming etc. increased the availability of labourers. Type of soil and terrain were found to be important in getting access to irrigation facility. District wise disparities showed that the disparities were the highest in the case of accessing information and followed by extension services. Although factors influencing the intensity (in terms of acres) as well as the depth of adoption (in terms of packages) were slightly different household assets, number of improved rice varieties known, membership in farmer organisations, risk etc. were significant in influencing the adoption decisions.

description: We describe the results of a long-slit spectroscopic study of an unusual star complex in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6946 using the SAO 6-m telescope and the Keck 10-m telescope. The complex resembles a circular bubble 600 pc in diameter with a young super star cluster (SSC) near the center. The kinematics of ionized gas is studied through Ha emission with several slit positions. Position-velocity diagrams show two distinct features with high speed motions. One is an irregularly shaped region to the east of the SSC, 270 pc in size, in which most of the Ha emission is blue shifted by 120 km/s, and another is a 350 pc shell centered on the SSC with positive and negative velocity shifts of 60 km/s. Balmer and HeI absorption lines in the SSC give an age of 12-13 Myr, which is consistent with the photometric age but significantly older than the kinematic ages of the high speed regions. The energetics of the SSC and its interaction with the environment are considered. The expansion energies exceed 10^52 ergs, but the power outputs from winds and supernova in the SSC are large enough to account for this. The intensities of Balmer, [NII], and [SII] emission lines within and around the complex indicate that shock excitation makes a significant contribution to the emission from the most energetic region.

description: We present a survey for metal absorption systems traced by neutral oxygen over $3.2 < z < 6.5$. Our survey uses Keck/ESI and VLT/X-Shooter spectra of 199 QSOs with redshifts up to 6.6. In total we detect 74 O I absorbers, of which 57 are separated from the background QSO by more than 5000 km/s. We use a maximum likelihood approach to fit the distribution of O I $λ$1302 equivalent widths in bins of redshift, and from this determine the evolution in number density of absorbers with $W_{1302} > 0.05$ angstroms. We find that the number density does not monotonically increase with decreasing redshift, as would naively be expected from the buildup of metal-enriched circumgalactic gas with time. The number density over $4.9 < z < 5.7$ is a factor of 1.7--4.1 lower (68% confidence) than over $5.7 < z < 6.5$, with a lower value at $z < 5.7$ favored with 99% confidence. This decrease suggests that the fraction of metals in a low-ionization phase is larger at $z \sim 6$ than at lower redshifts. Absorption from highly ionized metals traced by C IV is also weaker in higher-redshift O I systems, supporting this picture. The evolution of O I absorbers implies that metal-enriched circumgalactic gas at $z \sim 6$ is undergoing an ionization transition driven by a strengthening ultraviolet background. This in turn suggests that the reionization of the diffuse intergalactic medium may still be ongoing at or only recently ended by this epoch.
