description: Social pressures to regulate agriculture's use of environmental resources have been building for many years and show no signs of abating. While the agricultural and environmental communities can react to these events in many ways, perhaps the most promising avenue for resolving joint agricultural and environmental disputes lies with negotiated regulations mediated by governmental agencies. When first conceived by Commons, negotiated regulation was seen as a way to achieve both efficient and equitable dispute resolution by directly using the preferences, skills, and operational knowledge of stakeholders. This approach should be attractive to the agricultural community because it provides an opportunity to educate environmental groups about the complexities facing modern agriculture. It also assures that private business interests are considered in the development of regulations, and should result in regulations that give dynamic flexibility to the way environmental standards are achieved. In today's litigious society, negotiated regulations may also reduce many transaction costs associated with agricultural and environmental issues, particularly those associated with contract development and enforcement. Ultimately, negotiated regulations may be the best hope for satisfying the dual social objectives of a clean environment and an economically viable agricultural sector.

description: 雑音環境は, 記憶や集中力を要する思考的な作業に悪影響を与えることが予想さ れる. 雑音にはピンクノイズだけでなく, キーボード, プリンターなどの OA 機器 による雑音やオフィスなどでの周囲の会話や電話などが挙げられる. 騒音が作業者に対し及ぼす影響については, 今まで多くの研究者によって考察 され成果が発表されている. 既存の研究では BGM, 工事や交通による周囲の騒音, OA 機器による雑音を聞きながら計算, 暗記, レポート, 読書などの作業に及ぼす影 響について述べられている. 思考的作業を扱った研究に着目すると作業内容は計 算が主である. 既存研究では 4 桁÷ 2 桁の計算作業において音楽を聞きながら作 業するかどうかでは作業効率に有意な差が出ないと述べた. また 2 桁× 2 桁の計 算問題を無音, BGM, 工事音, 工事音と BGM を同時に流した環境で実験を行った 既存研究では, 音圧レベルの同じ騒音では街頭騒音のような意味のない騒音より, BGM の音楽騒音のほうが知的作業に対する阻害作用が見られた. また工事音環境 での知的作業も作業量は少なくなった. 他には, 短期記憶において言語情報を持つ 有意味騒音のうち, 作業に関連する数字のランダム読み上げ音声は,作業に関連し ないニュース音声である有意味騒音よりも妨害要因として与える影響が大きいと 述べている. また言語情報を持たない無意味騒音と有意味騒音では, 有意味騒音 の方が作業に影響を与えると述べた. このように, 短期記憶作業, 計算作業につい て, 騒音環境下で調査したものがある. しかし同様の環境下でこれら2つの作業に 対し実験し, 研究したものはない. そのため本稿では, 作業内容に関連した騒音環 境下における暗記と計算作業 2 つを同様の環境で実験を行う. 本稿では, 短期記憶と思考的作業に対して, OA 機器, 作業に関連した騒音の影響 を調査した. 我々は, 既存研究と同様の実験と, 同じ騒音条件で思考的作業 (ここで はかけ算) に対する実験を行い, 記憶や計算の最中に, 作業に関わる雑音や関係の ない雑音を再生し, その影響を調査した. この実験では短期記憶作業に対して, 作 業に関連した騒音の方が無関係な騒音より作業効率の阻害に及ぼす影響が大きい という事を確かめた. 作業内容は電話番号に用いられる 8 桁の数字の記憶問題を 行った. また思考を必要とする計算作業実験を短期記憶作業と同様の騒音条件で 行った. 次に作業内容は 2 桁*1 桁の掛け算を行った. この実験では思考的作業に対 して, 作業に関連する騒音の有無による影響について調べた. その結果, 記憶作業では, 作業に関連する有意味騒音のときは, 作業に関連しな い有意味騒音よりも正解率が低かった. これは短期記憶に関する既存研究と同様の 傾向が出た. また記憶作業, 計算作業において, 70dB における各騒音の正解率の差 が1%以内となっており, 70dB という高い音圧レベルとなると有意味, 無意味騒音 の平均正解率の差が小さくなった. 騒音が 70dB という高い音圧レベルになった際 に, 平均正解率の差がともに 1%以内となったのは, 短期記憶, 計算作業において, 各騒音に対して, 騒音の種類に関係なく, 音圧レベルの高さそのものが作業に影響 を及ぼしたと考えられる.

description: China is the world's largest automotive market and is ambitious for autonomous vehicles (AVs) development. As one of the key goals of AVs, pedestrian safety is an important issue in China. Despite the rapid development of driverless technologies in recent years, there is a lack of researches on the adaptability of AVs to pedestrians. To fill the gap, this study would discuss the adaptability of current driverless technologies to China urban pedestrians by reviewing the latest researches. The paper firstly analyzed typical Chinese pedestrian behaviors and summarized the safety demands of pedestrians for AVs through articles and open database data, which are worked as the evaluation criteria. Then, corresponding driverless technologies are carefully reviewed. Finally, the adaptability would be given combining the above analyses. Our review found that autonomous vehicles have trouble in the occluded pedestrian environment and Chinese pedestrians do not accept AVs well. And more explorations should be conducted on standard human-machine interaction, interaction information overload avoidance, occluded pedestrians detection and nation-based receptivity research. The conclusions are very useful for motor corporations and driverless car researchers to place more attention on the complexity of the Chinese pedestrian environment, for transportation experts to protect pedestrian safety in the context of AVs, and for governors to think about making new pedestrians policies to welcome the upcoming driverless cars.

Thermal origin of light emission in non-resonant and resonant tunnel junctions

description: Electron tunneling is associated with light emission. In order to elucidate its generating mechanism, we provide a novel experimental ansatz that employs fixed-distance epitaxial graphene as metallic electrodes. In contrast to previous experiments, this permits an unobscured light spread from the tunnel junction, enabling both a reliable calibration of the visible to infrared emission spectrum and a detailed analysis of the dependence of the parameters involved. In an open, non-resonant geometry, the emitted light is perfectly characterized by a Planck spectrum. In an electromagnetically resonant environment, resonant radiation is added to the thermal spectrum, both being strictly proportional in intensity. In full agreement with a simple heat conduction model, we provide evidence that in both cases the light emission stems from a hot electronic subsystem in interaction with its linear electromagnetic environment. These very clear results should resolve any ambiguity about the mechanism of light emission in nano contacts.

description: In this study, the structure of the South African wheat market is analysed using economic theory and econometric modelling techniques. The model is used to make baseline projections regarding the supply and use of wheat in South Africa and to analyse the impacts of various policy alternatives on the wheat sector for the period 2004-2008. Results indicate that the area harvested in the summer as well as winter region will decrease over time. Domestic consumption will marginally increase over time, which will result in higher levels of imports. The ability of the model to simulate policy shocks is illustrated by means of simulating the impact of the elimination of the wheat import tariff on the wheat sector.
Constructions of subalternity in African women’s writing in French
Creators: name: Adesanmi, Pius
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The central assumption of this study is that the awareness of a historically constructed, culturally sanctioned condition of subalternity is at the heart of the fictional production of Francophone African women writers. Subalternity here is viewed as a narrative and spatial continuum inside which African women have to negotiate issues relating to subjecthood and identity, both marked by gender and colonialism. Various definitions of 'the subaltern' are relevant, ranging from Antonio Gramsci's to those of the South Asian Subaltern Studies group, and to John Beverley's and Fredric Jameson's discussions. Jameson's emphasis on subalternity as "the feelings of mental inferiority nad habits of subservience and obedience which... develop in situations of domination - most dramatically in the experience of colonized peoples" (Jameson, 1981) is crucial, because it demonstrates the constructedness of that ontological condition. The approach adopted here aims to include gender as a category in a discourse that often excludes it, and to bring social science-oriented concepts into dialogue with literary theory and criticism. Combined with a discussion of Africa-influenced versions of feminist theory (stiwanism, negofeminism, motherism), Subaltern studies provides a space for the emergence of a south-south postcolonial debate that can throw new light on writing by African women. Fictional works by Therese Kuoh-Moukoury, Mariama Ba, Aminata Maiga Ka, Angele Rawiri, Philomene Bassek, Evelyne Mpoudi-Ngolle, Regina Yaou, Fatou Keita, and Abibatou Traore are read as conveying the various stages of consciousness on the part of the subaltern. Kuoh-Moukoury's Rencontres essentielles (1969), Maiga Ka's La voie du salut (1985), and Bassek's La tache de sang (1990) exemplify a first stage of consciousness in which the subaltern woman submits passively to oppressive patriarchal, cultural and religious prescriptions. Ba's Une si longue lettre (1979), Mpoudi Ngolle's Sous La cendre le feu (1990) and Rawiri's Fureurs et cris de femmes (1989) present a more assertive, rebellious heroine whose efforts are undermined by a resilient social context. Finally, Traore's Sidagamie (1998), Kei'ta's Rebelle (1998) and Yaou's Le prix de la revoke (1997) address the possibility of a sustained African women's struggle resulting not only in transient personal and isolated victories but also in an enduring social transformation governed by the ethos of gender equality.

description: We study a second-order linear differential equation known as the deformed cubic oscillator, whose isomonodromic deformations are controlled by the first Painlev{é} equation. We use the generalised monodromy map for this equation to give solutions to the infinite-dimensional Riemann-Hilbert problems arising from the Donaldson-Thomas theory of the A2 quiver. These are the first known solutions to such problems beyond the uncoupled case. The appendix by Davide Masoero contains a WKB analysis of the asymptotics of the monodromy map.

description: A sample survey of 74 commercial dairy farmers was conducted between November 2002 and February 2003 in three Zobatat (zones) of Eritrea to identify factors that affect the adoption of livestock insurance. The results of a logit model indicate that formal education of the farmer and the farmer's awareness of livestock insurance increase the probability of insurance adoption, whereas farming experience, poor location and use of alternative risk management strategies, such as off-farm investments and farm enterprise diversification, reduce the probability of livestock insurance adoption. Further insight into the factors influencing farmers' adoption of livestock insurance may assist policy makers and the National Insurance Corporation of Eritrea in their future plans. Results of this study have some policy implications, such as the need for a variable rather than fixed insurance premium, improving the know-how of farmers concerning risk assessment, improving Zobatat' infrastructure and a need of a thorough study to be conducted on the demand for agricultural insurance in Eritrea.

description: A special class of S=1 spin ladder hamiltonians, with second- neighbor exchange interactions and with anisotropies in the $z$-direction, can be mapped onto one-dimensional composite S=2 (tetrahedral S=1) models. We calculate the high temperature expansion of the Helmoltz free energy for the latter class of models, and show that their magnetization behaves closely to that of standard XXZ models with a suitable effective spin $S_{eff}$, such that $S_{eff}(1+S_{eff})=< \vec{\bf S}_i^2>$, where ${\bf S}_i$ refers to the components of spin in the composite model. It is also shown that the specific heat per site of the composite model, on the other hand, can be very different from that of the effective spin model, depending on the parameters of the hamiltonian.

description: Terahertz wave emission from condensed matter excited by intense laser pulses not only reflects the details in laser-matter interaction but also offers bright terahertz wave sources. Flowing liquid targets possess the advantage of providing a fresh area for each laser pulse. To demonstrate a debris-free target under laser excitation, we investigate the use of liquid nitrogen as a target. By creating a flowing liquid nitrogen line in the ambient environment, we successfully observe broadband terahertz wave emission under short pulse excitation. Our cryogenic line is able to sustain the excitation of a high-repetition-rate (1 kHz) laser. The terahertz peak field emitted from liquid nitrogen is comparable to that from liquid water, yet a broader bandwidth is observed. This demonstration prompts new opportunities in choosing potential materials for studying terahertz wave generation process and in understanding laser-induced ionization in different liquids.

Disordered cellular automaton traffic flow model: Phase separated state, density waves and self organized criticality

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)

description: We suggest a disordered traffic flow model that captures many features of traffic flow. It is an extension of the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NaSch) stochastic cellular automata for single line vehicular traffic model. It incorporates random acceleration and deceleration terms that may be greater than one unit. Our model leads under its intrinsic dynamics, for high values of braking probability $p$, to a constant flow at intermediate densities without introducing any spatial inhomogeneities. For a system of fast drivers $p\to 0$, the model exhibits a density wave behavior that was observed in car following models with optimal velocity. The gap of the disordered model we present exhibits, for high values of $p$ and random deceleration, at a critical density, a power law distribution which is a hall mark of a self organized criticality phenomena.

description: We have measured the relative permeability of split-ring resonator (SRR) arrays used in metamaterials designed to have $μ^\prime< 0$ over a narrow range of microwave frequencies. The SRR arrays were loaded into the bore of a loop-gap resonator (LGR) and reflection coefficient measurements were used to determine both the real and imaginary parts of the array's effective permeability. Data were collected as a function of array size and SRR spacing. The results were compared to those obtained from continuous extended split-ring resonators (ESRRs). The arrays of planar SRRs exhibited enhanced damping and a narrower range of frequencies with $μ^\prime<0$ when compared to the ESRRs. The observed differences in damping, however, were diminished considerably when the array size was expanded from a one-dimensional array of $N$ SRRs to a $2\times 2\times N$ array. Our method can also be used to experimentally determine the effective permeability of other metamaterial designs.

The Inability of Ambipolar Diffusion to set a Characteristic Mass Scale in Molecular Clouds

name: Mac Low, Mordecai-Mark
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We investigate the question of whether ambipolar diffusion (ion-neutral drift) determines the smallest length and mass scale on which structure forms in a turbulent molecular cloud. We simulate magnetized turbulence in a mostly neutral, uniformly driven, turbulent medium, using a three-dimensional, two-fluid, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code modified from Zeus-MP. We find that substantial structure persists below the ambipolar diffusion scale because of the propagation of compressive slow MHD waves at smaller scales. Contrary to simple scaling arguments, ambipolar diffusion thus does not suppress structure below its characteristic dissipation scale as would be expected for a classical diffusive process. We have found this to be true for the magnetic energy, velocity, and density. Correspondingly, ambipolar diffusion leaves the clump mass spectrum unchanged. Ambipolar diffusion appears unable to set a characteristic scale for gravitational collapse and star formation in turbulent molecular clouds.

We consider podcasting to be an emerging medium with rapid growth in adoption, and discuss challenges that arise when applying traditional recommendation approaches to address the cold-start problem. Using music consumption behavior, we examine two main techniques in inferring Spotify users preferences over more than 200k podcasts. Our results show significant improvements in consumption of up to 50\% for both offline and online experiments. We provide extensive analysis on model performance and examine the degree to which music data as an input source introduces bias in recommendations.

description: This study contains compilations of price trends, production trends and institutional issues in the international market for food legumes or pulses. In recent years substantial changes have taken place in the Asian pulse market. There are signs that the national markets have opened up for imports with the result by the mid 1990s that Australia and Myanmar have become the major inter-regional suppliers of pulses. Nevertheless, participation of other countries in the Asian pulse market is very wide and includes production centres in Latin America, North America, Western and Eastern Europe and Africa. The study also reveals that within the group of pulses there are substantial price differences between specific varieties and species. This indicates that investment in quality improvement would find a pay-off at the wholesale market level. The authors suggest that for improvement of the pulse market, information links between domestic major wholesale market and international markets should be realized.

description: How does your education impact your professional career? Ideally, the courses you take help you identify, get hired for, and perform the job you always wanted. However, not all courses provide skills that transfer to existing and future jobs; skill terms used in course descriptions might be different from those listed in job advertisements; and there might exist a considerable skill gap between what is taught in courses and what is needed for a job. In this study, we propose a novel method to integrate extensive course description and job advertisement data by leveraging heterogeneous data integration and community detection. The innovative heterogeneous graph approach along with identified skill communities enables cross-domain information recommendation, e.g., given an educational profile, job recommendations can be provided together with suggestions on education opportunities for re- and upskilling in support of lifelong learning.

description: We consider ghetto as a community of people ruled against their will by an external power. Members of the community feel that their laws are broken. However, attempts to leave ghetto makes their situation worse. We discuss the relation of the ghetto inhabitants to the ruling power in context of their needs, organized according to the Maslow hierarchy. Decisions how to satisfy successive needs are undertaken in cooperation with or defection the ruling power. This issue allows to construct the tree of decisions and to adopt the pruning technique from the game theory. Dynamics of decisions can be described within the formalism of fundamental equations. The result is that the strategy of defection is stabilized by the estimated payoff.

description: カラオケは娯楽の 1 つとして広く根付いている.カラオケを楽しむ理由はいく つか考えられるが,仲間同士の親睦を深めることがあげられる.この場合,カラ オケの参加者同士の相互のコミュニケーションが重要である.つまり,歌い手は 自らの歌唱を聴き手に伝えるだけでなく,聴き手はその歌唱を聴き,楽しんでい ることを何らかの表現で歌い手に伝えることが重要である.これにより,歌い手 は聴き手が歌唱を楽しんでくれていることに快を感じ,聴き手にとってもカラオ ケが単に歌唱を聴く場から,歌い手とともに自己表現をする場と変えることがで きる. しかし,現状のカラオケでは必ずしもこのようになっていない.聴き手は単に 歌い手の歌唱を聴くのみで,能動的に関わろうとはしないことが少なくない.カ ラオケ店にはタンバリンやマラカスのような小道具が備えられていることが少な くないが,必ずしも十分に活用されているとは言いがたい.その理由として,タ ンバリンをどのように活用すれば良いのか分からないこと,不適切な使い方をす るとかえって歌唱の邪魔になるために躊躇してしまうことなどが挙げられる. 筆者は,こうした状況に鑑み,卒業論文において,タンバリンに Wii リモコン を組み込み,タンバリンの叩き方(タンバリン譜)を画面に表示することで,タン バリン演奏を促すシステムを提案した.このシステムにより,タンバリンを叩く きっかけを与え,特にタンバリンの叩き手が知らない楽曲に対して適切なタンバ リン演奏ができるようになり,カラオケの盛り上げに一定の貢献をすることがで きた.しかし,タンバリンと Wii リモコンをテープで留めただけであるため,使っているうちに結合部が不安定になってくるという問題(強度の問題),タンバリン の叩き手を 1 人が担うことでその人がタンバリン演奏に夢中になるため,歌い手 とのコミュニケーションにはなっていないという問題(単独演奏の問題)が生じ た.また,楽曲によってはタンバリン譜が難しく,正しく演奏できないという問 題(難度の問題)も発生した.さらに,叩き手から歌い手への働きかけがタンバ リンの音を出すことだけであり,他のモダリティを十分に活用できていないとい う問題(モダリティの問題),曲調によってはタンバリンがうるさすぎるという問 題(音量の問題)も確認された. 本研究では,まず強度の問題と単独演奏の問題に取り組んだ.強度の問題に対 しては Wii リモコンを挿入できるタンバリンを 3D プリンタで作成した.単独演奏 の問題に対しては,歌い手も含めたカラオケに参加する全員が,タンバリン演奏 に参加できるよう改良を行った.A メロや B メロと呼ばれる箇所は叩き手をロー テーションさせることとし,サビと呼ばれる箇所や間奏部は全員がタンバリン演 奏を行うようにすることで,演奏にメリハリがつくように工夫した.単独演奏条 件と全員演奏条件において本システムを使ってもらい,アンケートを取ったとこ ろ,「一体感を得られたか」「盛り上げに貢献できたか」などの項目において全員演 奏条件の回答が単独演奏条件よりも上回り,一定の効果を有していることが確認 できた. 次に,難度の問題,モダリティの問題,音量の問題に取り組んだ.難度の問題に ついては,タンバリンを演奏する目的が,あくまで楽曲を楽しんでいることを周 りに伝えてカラオケを盛り上げることであり,指定されたとおりにタンバリンを 叩くことではないことに鑑み,表示されるタンバリン譜を簡略化した.また,従 来は表示されたタンバリン譜の通りに演奏したときに「OK」という表示されてい たが,タンバリン演奏における参加度を定義し,参加度が一定の値を超えたとき に演奏者のアイコンが笑顔になるという表示がなされるようにした.モダリティ の問題に対しては,タンバリンに光る機能を追加した.タンバリンを叩いたタイミングで光る機能であるが,後述の音量制御機能と併用することで,タンバリン の音をほとんど出さずに光らせることも可能である.音量の問題に対しては,タ ンバリンに備わっているシンバルを上下から押さえつける機構を導入することで, タンバリンの音量を制御できるようにした.システムを使った 1 時間のカラオケ を 6 回行ってもらう長期実験を行ったところ,システムを長期的に使用してもカ ラオケ支援の効果が大きく下がることはなく,演奏のアドバイスにも飽きること なく長期的に効果があることが確認された.また,タンバリンの演奏を増えると, カラオケのメンバーに視線を送る回数が増えているという結果が得られ,システ ムでタンバリンの仕様を促すことでコミュニケーションが深くなっていると考え れる.しかし,光る機能と音量調整機能を加えたタンバリンは新たな強度の問題 と音量の問題により長期実験であまり使われなかった. 以上により,強度の問題,単独演奏の問題を解決することができた.難度の問 題は解決策を提案したものの,その効果は十分に検証されていない.光る機能と 音量調整機能を加えたタンバリンは実験で使われることが少なく,モダリティの 問題と音量の問題を解決するに至らなかった.

description: Two charge BPS horizon free supergravity geometries are important in proposals for understanding black hole microstates. In this paper we construct a new class of geometries in the NS1-P system, corresponding to solitonic strings carrying fermionic as well as bosonic condensates. Such geometries are required to account for the full microscopic entropy of the NS1-P system. We then briefly discuss the properties of the corresponding geometries in the dual D1-D5 system.

description: Numerous proposed and developed superconducting fault current limiters and self-limiting transformers limit successfully fault currents but do not provide uninterrupted supplying of consumers. A design investigated in the work combines the functions of a conventional transformer with the functions of fast energy redistribution and fault protection. The device constitutes a transformer containing an additional high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil short-circuited by a thin film HTS switching element. Fault current limitation and redistribution of the power flow to a standby line are achieved as a result of a fast transition of the superconducting switching element from the superconducting into the normal state. Transient and steady-state characteristics were experimentally investigated. A mathematical model of the device operation was proposed, and the calculated results were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. The application field and basic requirements to such devices were discussed and it was shown that the proposed device meets these requirements.

description: Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) of mass m freeze out at a temperature T_f ~ m/25, i.e. in the range 400 MeV -- 40 GeV for a particle in the typical mass range 10 -- 1000 GeV. The WIMP relic density, which depends on the effective number of relativistic degrees of freedom at T_f, may be measured to better than 1% by Planck, warranting comparable theoretical precision. Recent theoretical and experimental advances in the understanding of high temperature QCD show that the quark gluon plasma departs significantly from ideal behaviour up to temperatures of several GeV, necessitating an improvement of the cosmological equation of state over those currently used. We discuss how this increases the relic density by approximately 1.5 -- 3.5% in benchmark mSUGRA models, with an uncertainly in the QCD corrections of 0.5 -- 1 %. We point out what further work is required to achieve a theoretical accuracy comparable with the expected observational precision, and speculate that the effective number of degrees of freedom at T_f may become measurable in the foreseeable future.

Clavatipollenites

description: Stamens with monocolpate Clavatipollenites- type pollen sp. 3
Text-fig. 12a–e
Description and remarks. The material comprises a single stamen with an elongated, elliptical and tetrasporangiate anther (Text-fig. 12a) that has in situ Clavatipollenites - type pollen (Text-fig. 12b–e). The anther is about 0.5 mm long and about 0.25 mm broad. Pollen is monoaperturate, but the grains are typically folded and the aperture is not fully exposed in any of the specimens. The grains are about 15–17 µm in diameter. The exine is semitectate-reticulate with a homobrochate reticulum (Text-fig. 12b–e). Lumina are irregular and up to about 1.5 µm in diameter. Muri are narrow, about 0.4 µm wide and ornamented with verrucae or spines arranged in one to two rows. Columellae are long, about 0.7 µm, and widely spaced (Text-fig. 12d). Orbicules on the inner surface of the anther wall and on the surface of the pollen grains are tiny, spherical and with fine spines (Text-fig. 12e).

description: A comprehensive exploration of Uranus and Neptune is essential to understand the formation and evolution of the giant planets, in particular, solar system, in general, and, by extension, a vast population of exoplanets. Though core accretion is generally favored over gravitational instability as the model of the formation of the gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, observational constraints are presently lacking to make a compelling case for either in the case of the icy giants. Abundances of the heavy elements with mass exceeding that of helium provide the best constraints to the formation and migration models. For Uranus and Neptune, only the C elemental abundance has been determined from methane measurements, but should be considered as a lower limit considering methane is a condensible gas in the icy giants. Well-mixed water, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide to determine O, N and S elemental abundances, respectively, are too deep to measure by any observation technique. However, a precise measurement of the noble gases, He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe, together with their isotopic ratios, would circumvent the need for determining the above elements. Only entry probes are capable of measuring the noble gases, but those measurements can be done at relatively shallow pressure levels of 5-10 bars. Complementary observations from orbiter, especially the interior (gravity and magnetic field) and depth profiles of water and ammonia, would greatly enhance the data set for constraining the formation models. No new technology is required to carry out an orbiter-probe mission to either Uranus or Neptune in the next decade.
