description: In the context of climate change, the diet is a key driver of environmental impacts. Previous research emphasized the environmental benefit to increase fisheries and aquaculture products (FAPs) consumption in European diets. However, increasing the share of FAPs could lead to a transfer of environmental damage from earth to sea. It is thus important to evaluate the environmental impacts of FAPs considering marine eco-systems and global scale. We constructed an original database to map the origin of FAPs, and we matched it with environmental indicators. The exploration of the database investigates the environmental impact of FAPs in regards of French consumption. We found some heterogeneity across species, meaning that the pattern of consumption across the FAPs does influence the environmental footprint. Furthermore, the choice of methods of production largely affects the global impact. Thus, relevant public policy could decrease the environmental impact of FAPs despite a standstill level of consumption.

description: A two-dimensional gas of massless Dirac fermions (MDFs) is a very useful model to describe low-energy electrons in monolayer graphene. Because the MDF current operator is directly proportional to the (sublattice) pseudospin operator, the MDF current-current response function, which describes the response to a vector potential, happens to coincide with the pseudospin-pseudospin response function. In this work we present analytical results for the wavevector- and frequency-dependent longitudinal and transverse pseudospin-pseudospin response functions of noninteracting MDFs. The transverse response in the static limit is then used to calculate the noninteracting orbital magnetic susceptibility. These results are a starting point for the construction of approximate pseudospin-pseudospin response functions that would take into account electron-electron interactions (for example at the random-phase-approximation level). They also constitute a very useful input for future applications of current-density-functional theory to graphene sheets subjected to time- and spatially-varying vector potentials.

A two model description of attitudinal choice processes for subjects with high, medium and low involvement in three social issues
Creators: name: Wood, Keith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The research reported here used Coombs' (1964) theory of data and evidence drawn from attitude change research to construct two models which, if correct, would describe the attitudinal choice and judgmental processes of, for the first model, an uninvolved S and, for the second model, a highly involved S. Both models were dependent on two of Coombs' (1964) eight classes of data, Petrusic's (1966) findings using single stimulus response latencies and the evidence from Sherif and Hovland (1961) and Ager and Dawes (1965) that a judge's attitude will affect his judgment of favourabiIity of alternative positions on a social issue. The test of the models occurred when single stimulus response latencies were collected from Ss who were required to accept or reject a position and then indicate if the position was more-pro or less-pro than his ideal position on issues of high, medium, and low involvement. The accept-reject task was, according to Coombs' (1964) formulation, Qllb data and the more-pro, less-pro task was QIIa(c.) (categorization relative to an ideal point). The data did not follow the predictions of the models for any of the four Ss used. Thus, our major hypothesis that an individual who is not involved in a social issue will judge alternative positions according to our first model (J-scale model) and that an individual who is highly involved in a social issue will judge alternative positions according to our second model (I-scale model) was rejected. Additional classes of data collected did, however, replicate and confirm the findings of Petrusic (1966). We were able to show that the latency data collected, whatever the attitudinal choice process involved, was reliable and orderly for each S over each issue. (Except for one S on one issue where a speed orientation was clearly shown). The order Iiness of the data was shown by the ability of QIIa(c.) and QIlb inferred orderings to predict the ordering of QIa (preference ordering) data.
A linear model for amplitude modulation of Langmuir waves in weak electron-beam plasma interaction

description: A simple linear approach to the phenomenon of amplitude modulation of Langmuir waves in weak beam plasma interaction is presented. During the short growth phase of the instability and within the longer period after saturation, the waves are described by their linear kinetic dispersion properties.The amplitude modulation appears as result of the beating of waves with different wavelengths and amplitudes that have grown from noise in the initial phase. The Langmuir wave fields are calculated via FFT (fast Fourier transform) technique. The resulting waveforms in temporal representation are quite similar to those observed by spacecraft.

The French short films Oracles, Sphinx, and OEdipe, chronicle the life of OEdipe, a young man with Down syndrome. The films are a contemporary take on the Greek mythological figure Oedipus. Abstract
The French short films Les Oracles, Sphinx, and Œdipe, chronicle the life of Œdipe, a young man with Down syndrome. The films are a contemporary take on the Greek mythological figure Oedipus. The first film follows Œdipe as he embarks on his journey to Oracle of Delphi.

Details:
Les Oracles follows Œdipe’s journey to the Oracle of Delphi. He appears on the screen dressed in motorcycle gear on his bike over a snowy road. At a clearing, he stops, pauses and looks at the trees near him. The scene jumps to a still life consisting of a blue candle, a blue skull, and a blue hourglass fabricated by a 3D printer, located in a white void. Suddenly, Œdipe is also standing in the empty space. He wanders around, limping clumsily and finally meets the Oracle, two older men in suits. They are discussing time and space over a spoonful of red soup. Œdipe approaches them, and the two of them lead him further through the room, passing, among other things, the 3D printer that is printing the skull to the “slide,” a picture that shows trunks in a forest. Finally, the two men sit down, and Œdipe lies down in front of them. Between them is the red soup in which an eye-like object floats. Œdipe questions them on the identity of his mother and father. Suddenly, blue light fills the room, the two men smear blood on their faces and a life-size eye appears next to them. They prophesise: “You will kill your father and marry your mother.” Œdipe wakes up, the blue light is gone, and the room is white again. He gets up, picks up his helmet and returns to the “foil,” which now shows the underside of an uprooted tree. Suddenly he is back in the forest, as shown in the beginning of the film. He gets on his bike and rides off.

description: Many plants require exposure to low temperature for a certain period during each year. This was determined more than a century ago. Understanding this phenomenon, known as the rest period, is part of a larger problem of understanding the factors which determine the ability of an organism to grow. The property of rest is ultimately a property of the actively growing cells, rather than that of the cells involved with protection and support.

description: In soil science we shall always be confronted with reactions in soils that involve Ca. Early recognition of this led to experimentation in this area. Due to the fact that Ca deficiency is most common in acid soils, the majority of the experimentation has in the past been largely confined to acid soils and their soil-Ca-plant relationships. There has been relatively little research done with Ca and its availability problems associated with alkaline or sodic soils.

description: We applied Frequency Map Analysis (FMA) - a method that is widely used to explore dynamics of Hamiltonian systems - to beam-beam effects study. The method turned out to be rather informative and illustrative in the case of a novel Crab Waist collision approach, when "crab" focusing of colliding beams results in significant suppression of betatron coupling resonances. Application of FMA provides visible information about all working resonances, their widths and locations in the planes of betatron tunes and betatron amplitudes, so the process of resonances suppression due to the beams crabbing is clearly seen.

Toying with toxins : The global transference of toxic harms
Creators: name: Heckenberg, D
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis provides a critique of the social and ideological processes that underpin the production, consumption and disposal of toys. In particular, it examines two high-profile cases involving toys containing lead and magnets. These cases are contextualized by a spate of global toy-related recalls between 2006 and 2008, peaking in 2007. The cases focus on four toy companies, one headquartered in Canada and three in the United States. This study examines the responses to unsafe toys, by toy companies in the west and their supply chain partners in China, through the lens of deviancy theory and critical criminology. The study found that there appears to be a scripted set of responses and strategies on the part of those doing the harm. This research is concerned with conceptualizing, observing and mapping global harms, in particular toxic harms, within the broad theoretical framework of 'green criminology', where a key precept is conceptualizations of harm that go beyond conventional legal definitions of crime. Informed by an environmental justice perspective, it asks which toxins affect which people, which places and whose natural landscapes and why? It engages with eco-global criminology's concerns with the ecological (environmental toxins), the global (worldwide movement of toxic harms) and issues of justice (biological, social and ecological consequences of those trajectories for people, places and nature). The study examined the flow of toxic harms across geographical and jurisdictional borders through the concept of transference. Transference refers to the movement of something (e.g. substance, activity) from one place or person (entity) to another. The research located transference within the growing interconnection of markets and the expanding flow of goods where different supply chain activities are located in particular countries and where human and ecological harms are also transferred. Denial and the use of particular techniques of neutralization on the part of those who produced and perpetuated harm in the production, consumption and disposal of toxic toys was a major concern and finding of this thesis.

description: Abstract:
A child with autism finds swimming his way out of the imaginary “bubble” that was isolating him from the rest of the world.

Details:
The short animation movie starts with the view of a city from a boat near the shore and then moves inside a home, where a child visibly lives due to the amount of toys lying around in the living room. The following scene moves to the kitchen and zooms into a picture hanging from the fridge that shows a happy couple. By showing different pictures, the movie fasts forward through different stages of the protagonist’s childhood, starting from his birth. In every picture, the protagonist is depicted with a transparent bubble around him. This bubble isolates him from the rest of the world.
In fact, the following scene shows that the child does not respond to his mother telling him good night. Both parents seem visibly worried about his condition and decide to take their child to the doctor. He prescribes to him different medicines, which seem to be not helping much.
One day, while walking on the shore, the kid’s hat flies into the sea. The water spraying him appears to briefly burst the bubble that surrounds him, and at this moment, the parents realize that a solution could be taking him swimming. While he swims around happily in the swimming pool, his bubble stays outside the water.
The closing scene shows the mother telling the kid goodnight, but this time, he manages to respond to her. He even hugs her, and while doing so, his bubble does not surround him wholly but just in half.

description: We analyze the transport properties of relativistic fluid composed of constituent quarks at finite temperature and density. We focus on the shear and bulk viscosities and study their behavior near chiral phase transition. We model the constituent quark interactions through the Nambu--Jona Lasinio Lagrangian. The transport coefficients are calculated within kinetic theory under relaxation time approximation including in--medium modification of quasi--particles dispersion relations. We quantify the influence of the order of chiral phase transition and the critical end point on dissipative phenomena in such a medium. Considering the changes of shear and bulk viscosities along the phase boundary we discuss their sensitivity to probe the existence of the critical end point.

description: Conway and Kochen have presented a "free will theorem" (Notices of the AMS 56, pgs. 226-232 (2009)) which they claim shows that "if indeed we humans have free will, then [so do] elementary particles." In a more precise fashion, they claim it shows that for certain quantum experiments in which the experimenters can choose between several options, no deterministic or stochastic model can account for the observed outcomes without violating a condition "MIN" motivated by relativistic symmetry. We point out that for stochastic models this conclusion is not correct, while for deterministic models it is not new.

title: A Field Study of Miscible Displacement in Saturated Soils
Creators: name: McFadden Sadler, Lloyd Dowley
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1963

description: Extensive research has been carried out in both field and laboratory to explain water and solute movement under both saturated and unsaturated conditions. The importance of such work is obvious, since any attempt at exploring land reclamation by leaching or nutrient movement in plant feeding (to name only two) is subject to interpretations and theories of moisture flow.
Water flow through soil during reclamation by leaching can be termed miscible displacement since soil water and leaching water do not have a distinct fluid-fluid interface and will physically mix. It is probable that miscible displacement investigations can contribute to an understanding of time-ion concentration relationships in land drainage.
Much work is and has been done in the laboratory on moisture flow with particular reference to miscible displacement theories. This project investigates a portion of the overall miscible displacement phenomena in the field under conditions which would exist in practice.
Specifically, an attempt is made to determine the relative importance of hydrodynamic dispersion and diffusion in a tile drained soil over a relatively impermeable clay using chloride as a tracer.

For heterotic compactifications in dimension six this reduces the choice of that connection to the unique SU(3) instanton on a manifold with stable tangent bundle of degree zero.

description: Melanoma skin cancer is still a deadly disease despite recent advances in therapy. Previous studies have suggested medical plasma technology as a promising modality for melanoma treatment. However, the efficacy of plasmas operated under different ambient air conditions and the comparison of direct and indirect plasma treatments are mostly unexplored for this tumor entity. Moreover, exactly how plasma treatment affects melanoma metastasis has still not been explained. Using 3D tumor spheroid models and high-content imaging technology, we addressed these questions by utilizing one metastatic and one non-metastatic human melanoma cell line targeted with an argon plasma jet. Plasma treatment was toxic in both cell lines. Modulating the oxygen and nitrogen ambient air composition (100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, and 0/100) gave similar toxicity and reduced the spheroid growth for all conditions. This was the case for both direct and indirect treatments, with the former showing a treatment time-dependent response while the latter resulted in cytotoxicity with the longest treatment time investigated. Live-cell imaging of in-gel cultured spheroids indicated that plasma treatment did not enhance metastasis, and flow cytometry showed a significant modulation of S100A4 but not in any of the five other metastasis-related markers (β-catenin, E-cadherin, LEF1, SLUG, and ZEB1) investigated. © 2020 by the authors.

title: The Influence of Thermo-Gradients Upon Water Movement and Retention in Unsaturated Soils
Creators: name: Salazar, Jose V.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: Temperature differences of about 5, 10, and 15 V, were applied to uniformly packed and insulated horizontal column of Millville silt loam soil using mean temperatures near 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 23.5 C. The temperature distribution along the soil column was determined using copper constantan thermocouples. Soil samples were taken to determine volumetric moisture content, and soil water potential, using the vapor pressure psychometer technique. The thermodynamic flow equation of Taylor and Cary, (1964) was used to calculate the hydro-thermal transfer coefficient (β) as given by: -β=(d(μW)Τ)/dlnT where (μW)Τ is the constant temperature water potential and Τ the temperature in °K. The net transfer of moisture from the warm to the cold face of the soil column was found to depend upon the temperature difference, the mean temperature of the system, the water potential distribution that resulted and the average soil water potential as predicted by the equation.
The hydro-thermal-transfer coefficient (B) was found to depend primarily on the average water potential with secondary dependence on the mean temperature.
The hydro-thermal transfer coefficient was found to be small and nearly constant at high soil moisture potential where water was moving mainly in the liquid phase. At low soil water potentials the hydro-thermal transfer coefficient was again nearly constant and reached high values. In this situation water is moving mostly in the vapor phase. In the zone of water potential where significant water movement is taking place, in both liquid and vapor phases, the influence of the coefficient on the movement was not determined because of the rapidly changing relations.

Cooperative enterprise

description: Abstract:
L’estoc is an artisan wooden furniture workshop in the city of Barcelona striving for a high social impact and a low environmental one. Its true uniqueness resides in its human capital: a small team of young men with intellectual disabilities who produce high-quality, sustainable furniture with a modern and artistic design.

Details:
L’estoc is an artisan workshop located in Barcelona, and this short documentary follows its team of artisans in their activity of producing sustainable furniture out of recycled material.
It starts with Jordy Mayals, the founder, saying that the workshop made him realize that what he often saw as a problem could become an opportunity. He is not only referring to the disused objects that they revive and turn into modern and artistic furniture pieces but also to the workshop’s crew. L’estoc brings together people with different backgrounds, among which some men affected by an intellectual disability, Enrique, José, and Rouge, who are all equal shareholders in this cooperative enterprise.
Alberto is the person in charge of the designing and production section and defines the workshop’s sustainability concept as a life choice.
Enrique is 25 years old and affirms that people like him can get the job done as much as anyone else.
José Antonio is 27 and works in furniture production, from cutting the wood to the building and the painting part.
Rouge tells about Enrique’s growth as the years pass by and describes his colleagues and his different personalities and roles in the team.
Thanks to them, their workshop is full of potential. Alberto tells how, in comparison to other workplaces he has worked at, at L’estoc, he finds more dedication and passion. Jordy describes his colleagues as transparent and dedicated people who may have intellectual difficulties but demonstrate great abilities on other levels, like the emotional one. That is why he learned a lot from them; for instance, he learned a new, better way of working together.

description: The transport behavior and superconducting transition temperature Tc of NdFe1-yRuyAsO0.89F0.11 have been studied for various y values. Because Ru impurities are isoelectronic to host Fe atoms, we basically expect that the number of electrons does not change with y, at least in the region of small y values. The results indicate that the rate of Tc suppression by Ru atoms is too small to be explained by the pair breaking effect of nonmagnetic impurities expected for the S+- symmetry, confirming our previous results for Co doping.

description: Abstract
In a mix of live-action and animation, Go Make Memories is the story of Caleb’s and his family’s experience after being diagnosed with the ultra-rare neurodegenerative Niemann-Pick disease (NPD). This short film hopes to raise awareness and inform about the support offered by NPUK, a charity organization dedicated to families dealing with NPD.

Details
A live-action house hosts the setting of this short film, whose characters are animated. A family opens the door of their new home, full of packing boxes. The mother is carrying a baby boy, Caleb, in her arms, and a girl of about six years old, Zoey, runs around excitedly.
The following scenes move around the different rooms in the house and show some happy family moments: Zoey’s first day at school, the toddler’s first steps, them playing together, and Christmas morning.
One day, all of a sudden, Caleb falls on the floor while playing in the living room. Then, he starts crying, and despite the efforts of his parents, he does not stop, so they take him to the hospital.
After many doctor appointments, they receive the bad news that their child suffers from a very rare neurodegenerative condition called Niemann-Pick disease, whose cure has not been found yet. The disease implies that their son’s mental and physical health would continuously decline over time, and he probably would not live more than ten years.
The parents go through very rough moments accepting and understanding Caleb’s condition and its symptoms. Even though the mother is increasingly worried and experiences many emotionally difficult moments, for example, on Caleb’s birthday, she also wants to receive as much help as she can get. She suggests getting in touch with the charity organization NPUK, but her husband is in denial and refuses to ask for additional help. They are discussing this when, all of a sudden, Caleb falls again while playing in the garden, and from that moment on, his health starts to deteriorate so much that he cannot walk anymore.
It is only after Caleb’s eighth birthday that the father accedes to get in touch with the NPUK and realizes that they can help them. Alicia, a social assistant from the NPUK, walks into the house and asks Caleb how he is doing. That is when the animated character in a wheelchair turns into a live-action boy. The short film closes with some captions that hope to raise awareness about the NPD and the work of NPUK and some photos to honour the memory of some children who passed away.
title: Boron Composition of Alfalfa in Utah as Related to Soils and Irrigation Waters
Creators: name: Radtke, Robert N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: Eighteen field plots at 15 locations were selected throughout the state to evaluate the status of the boron content in irrigation waters, soils, and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) plant tissue under irrigated conditions.
No boron deficiency symptoms were observed in any of the alfalfa plants at any of these locations, nor were any of the plant tissue boron levels inadequate. Only two locations were found in which the alfalfa plants exibited toxicity symptoms. These locations were along the Indian and Antelope Creeks in Duchesne County which contain high boron levels in the water. All the alfalfa and soil tested and irrigated by either Indian or Antelope Creek waters are the only ones tested and found to contain, naturally occuring, high levels of boron in Utah.
The light sandy soils were found to contain less available boron than the heavier clay soils. The sandy soil of the Grand County location at Moab showed no available soil boron, while the clayey soils in Duchesne County irrigated with high boron waters were the only soils found to contain excessive levels of available soil boron.
The application of 2.8 kilograms of boron per hectare in the form of Solubor significantly increased the available soil boron content by 19.07 percent in the Cache County plots.
The 12 alfalfa varieties grown in the Morgan and Tooele County plots showed significant differences with respect to location and tissue boron contents when the results of the two locations were combined. Overall, variety desert had the highest average boron content of 69.5 milligrams boron per kilogram and AS-49R contained the lowest boron content (Y=69.91+13.64X; R2=0.79) or the available soil boron content (Y=63.15+7.66X; R2=0.82).
The shock of the now: Retail space and the road to nowhere
Creators: name: Campbell, GR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The project is focused on my interpretation of my workaday experience, my attempt to navigate the many layers of the retail space of the supermarket, and the enigmatic landscape of the suburban environment. My premise is that retail and suburban environments can have a dehumanizing effect on the individual. Elements such as alienation and dislocation move beyond their supermarket and suburban associations to permeate my observations. My work is reflective of this process. The paint appears bleached, having a sterile quality reflecting the effect of the supermarket and suburbs on my emotional state. The fluorescent lights of the supermarket and the white concrete of the suburbs reach out and become part of my imagination, sapping colour and forcing me to rethink the relationship between the built environment and my self. During my time as a worker in the retail environment of the supermarket, I began to experience a questioning process that led me to this investigation. Mentally I had to occupy an expressive space in parallel with my workaday experience. This dual existence of working and observation and interpretation of my workplace, helped me to make sense of the issues around alienation and desolation I experienced in the supermarket. The project allowed me to occupy a point of observation. I realised I had an opportunity to maximise my investigation by developing my ideas in an academic context, and voice my experience and outcomes through painting and writing. Through my art I attempt to make sense of environments that I perceive as being in opposition to my sense of humanity. These spaces challenge my ideals around the relationship between human beings and their environment and I therefore see them as an ideal subject to develop my ideas around sense of place. I believe contemporary urban spaces can affect a sense of dislocation from society. The products of many modernist artist and writers such as Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project, John Steinbeck's Hour of Pearl in Cannery Row and George Orwell's utopia under Big Brother in 1984, Albert Camus' The Rebel and John Paul Sartre's Nausea have been inspired by this experience of dislocation. I find parallels to these ideas in the abstract expressionism of Mark Rothko, and the eerie, melancholic environments of Paul Nash and Andrew Wyeth. The social commentary of Richard Hamilton and Andy Warhol anticipate the absurdist turn to postmodernism, which is further filtered through the social positioning of critics such as John Ralston Saul, Christopher Lasch and Paul Virilio and mediated through Jacky Bowring's writing on melancholy. I refer also to the social irony of artist Jeff Koons, selected enigmatic landscapes by Bill Henson and the washed out paintings of Luc Tuymans, Fiona McMonagle and Jon Cattapan. My own work is positioned in this reductionist style to comment on the alienation I have experienced through contemporary consumerism and my transition from passive worker to active observer.

description: Open Research Ecosystems are communities of researchers, evidence synthesists, tool makers, information specialists, research data managers, etc, that collaboratively recognise evidence synthesis as the end goal of research. Research Ecosystems support researchers to design, undertake, and report primary research and evidence synthesis in a way that optimises reuse, translation, and sharing of the data. Research Ecosystems are based on shared open principles, transparency of research methods in evidence synthesis and primary research, code of conduct and sharing of materials for collaboration and communication. This talk will present the concept of open research ecosystems to grow community and improve primary research and evidence synthesis. We present a pilot project idea, funded by Stifterverband (DE), to establish research ecosystems in biomedical translational research. This talk will explore the role of R in developing Research Ecosystems and ways to build bridges between researchers for effective evidence synthesis. Let’s revolutionise the way we synthesise evidence.

Backstage, another teenager, his brother or friend, is facing his hands, while in the background, his trainer is discussing with his sister, Chrissie, who does not want him to fight. He wants him to get in the ring, convinced that he is ready for it, and reproaches her for holding him back. He motivates and preps him, and when he asks why he wants to fight, he answers that he is a fighter and he wants to win.
He is told that he is going to fight a boxer who is bigger than him, so he finds himself torn between his dream of winning and proving everyone wrong or giving in to the fear of getting hurt. Even the boxing committee, pressured by Chrissie, is not sure about letting him fight.
The fighter starts approaching the ring. While Chrissy and the trainer are still discussing, a decision needs to be made. It is his friend who looks him in the eye and lets him know that the decision is his. The short movie ends with an open ending, right when the fighter is picturing the game in his head and making up his mind.

description: This paper reports the pi-A isotherms and spectroscopic characteristics of mixed Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of non-amphiphilic carbazole (CA) molecules mixed with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and stearic acid (SA). pi-A isotherm studies of mixed monolayer and as well as also the collapse pressure study of isotherms definitely conclude that CA is incorporated into PMMA and SA matrices. However CA is stacked in the PMMA/SA chains and forms microcrystalline aggregates as is evidenced from the scanning electron micrograph picture. Nature of these aggregated species in the mixed LB films has been revealed by UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies. The presence of two different kinds of band systems in the fluorescence spectra of the mixed LB films have been observed. This may be due to the formation of low dimensional aggregates in the mixed LB films. Intensity distribution of different band system is highly sensitive to the microenvironment of two different matrices as well as also on the film thickness

title: The Effect of 2 Soil Fertility Levels on 5 Potato Varieties in Relation to Yield, Specific Gravity and Chipping Quality
Creators: name: Robison, Gayland D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1958

description: The potato enterprise is important in Utah as it provides a cash crop and also a means of diversifying and intensifying the operations on many irrigated farms. It is of particular value in the sections of the state that have a short growing season where other crops cannot feasibly be produced. The potato chip industry supplies a demand for large quantities of potatoes. The usage by this industry makes it a major factor in potato farming economy.
The making of chips originated over a hundred years ago as the result of an accident. A silver of potato fell into a kettle of heated fat; the silver was taken from the kettle and found to be an edible, tasty product. Since this simple beginning many attempts have been made to improve the quality of the chip. The potato is the most uncontrollable raw material used in the processing of chips, but selection of varieties and cultural practices aid in overcoming this variable.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of soil fertility on five varieties of potatoes in relation to yield, specific gravity, and chipping quality when grown in northern Utah. A potato that possesses high specific gravity, high yield, and other qualities of a good potato chip, when grown in this environment, would satisfy the potato chip industry and be a profitable crop for farmers in northern Utah.

Effect of antecedent soil moisture on infiltration and preferential flow in texture contrast soils
Creators: name: Hardie, Marcus
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Preferential flow has been shown to be both common and widespread in agricultural soils, however the processes and mechanisms responsible for preferential flow in texture contrast soils have not previously been investigated. Through a combination of dye tracer experiments, soil morphology, in situ soil m oisture monitoring, infiltration studies, and soil water modelling, the effect of antecedent soil moisture on the occurrence, type and depth of preferential flow was investigated in a series of texture contrast soil profiles. Preferential flow was dominated by hydrophobicity induced finger flow in the A1 horizon and bypass flow through shrinkage cracks in the subsoil. Differences between sites in horizon thickness, chemical properties, presence / absence of an A2 horizon, and abundance of sand infills resulted in little variation in preferential flow. At low antecedent soil moisture, dye tracer infiltrated to 85 - 119 cm depth, infiltration bypassed up to 99 % of the soil matrix, and wetting front velocities were estimated up to 12 000 mm hr-1. Perched water tables and subsurface lateral flow did not develop due to the abundance of subsoil shrinkage cracks. At high antecedent soil moisture dye tracer infiltrated to 24 ‚Äö- 40 cm depth. While water repellence had been overcome or leached from the A1 horizon, infiltration of new water was impeded by difficulty displacing existing soil water further down the soil profile. This resulted in wetting front instability and lateral flow through the A1 horizon rather than within the A2 horizon or along the upper surface of the B horizon as reported in the literature. Occurrence of preferential flow was not related to rainfall intensity or rainfall magnitude. Rather, preferential flow was significantly more likely to occur when antecedent soil moisture was below approximately 50 - 60 % PAWC. Water repellence had a profound effect on the development of preferential flow, however the relationship between water repellence and antecedent soil moisture was not straightforward. Potential water repellence varied seasonally in relation to rainfall history in which water repellence was not re-established after rainfall unless input of new hydrophobic substances occurred. Ability to model and predict the frequency and magnitude of preferential flow was limited by poor model performance, attributed to parameter uncertainty and inability to simulate water repellence and lateral flow. Results indicate that in agricultural landscapes which contain texture contrast soils, shallow groundwater and waterways may be at risk of contamination by preferential transport of agrochemicals at low antecedent soil moisture.
A new ERA for meta-analysis: building Executable Research Articles. Presented at ESMARConf2021
Creators: name: Mancini, Matteo
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: When we think about meta-analysis and more in general scientific papers, we think about a manuscript in PDF with figures and tables. This format has been almost unchanged for the last twenty years and reduces the reader experience to reading text and looking at charts, without any real chance to understand more about either the methodology or the results. As reproducibility has become a central point in several field, we need to rethink the publication media. I will be sharing some insights from our recent experience in putting together and publishing a meta-analysis in the format of an executable research article (ERA). ERAs not only can embed text and code but also allows to easily execute code on the fly and generate interactive figures. I will discuss potentials and challenges for this new format.

description: We present a simple approach to realize truly random number generation based on measurement of the phase noise of a single mode vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). The true randomness of the quantum phase noise originates from the spontaneous emission of photons and the random bit generation rate is ultimately limited only by the laser linewidth. With the final bit generation rate of 20 Mbit/s, the physically guaranteed truly random bit sequence passes the three standard random tests. Moreover, for the first time, a {\it continuously} generated random bit sequence up to 14 Gbit is verified by two additional criteria for its true randomness.

Ecological impacts of pollution on marine soft-sediment assemblages
Creators: name: Banks, J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In this study, manipulative laboratory experiments were used to define the mechanisms responsible for observed relationships between heavy metal pollution and soft-sediment assemblages evident from field surveys. Heavily polluted and lightly polluted sites were selected based on previous surveys. Assemblages from the polluted site were 60% less taxonomically rich and 38% less diverse, with a less consistent community composition dominated by a small number of non-indigenous or cryptogenic species. Polychaetes were more abundant; however, 96% of the individuals belonged to a single tolerant species, which consistently dominated samples throughout the survey period. Fluctuations in the abundance of two r-selected, opportunistic species were responsible for a comparatively higher degree of temporal variability in community composition. Manipulative experiments demonstrated the direct effects of pollution. Fauna from the reference site challenged with heavily polluted sediment became more like those normally found at the polluted site, supporting fewer families, derived from fewer taxa. Bivalves and polychaetes were reduced, while crustaceans generally did not survive within the experimental mesocosms irrespective of the extent of pollution they were subject to. Challenging faunal assemblages with sediments either containing the natural fauna or from which fauna were removed tested indirect effects of sediment contamination. Sediments with residents intact led to a greater decline in abundance of potentially establishing fauna, suggesting that some fauna may be excluded from the polluted site because of biotic interactions. This study provides additional evidence that contamination of sediments by anthropogenic pollutants can have serious consequences for the ecology of benthic environments. Importantly, it shows that impacts on fauna may occur by multiple mechanisms.
