description: Excerpts from the report: The Middle Coast Drainage Basin of Oregon includes all coastal drainages between the Umpqua River Basin and Cascade Head. It is bounded by the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Umpqua River Basin on the south, the Upper and Middle Willamette River Basins on the east, and the North Coast Drainage Basin on the north. The basin has a total area of 1,511,400 acres which is about 2.4 percent of the total area of Oregon. It contains most of Lincoln County, approximately one-fourth of Lane and Benton Counties, and minor portions of Douglas, Polk, and Tillamook Counties. The main drainages are the Siuslaw, Yachats, Alsea, Yaquina, Siletz, and Salmon Rivers. For the purpose of this report, the Middle Coast Drainage Basin is divided into twenty small watersheds. These watershed areas vary in size from 7,200 acres to 195,000 acres. Ninety-one percent of the basin is classed as forest; three percent is cropland; one percent is range; and the remaining five percent is devoted to other uses. About 47 percent of the total is publicly owned. This report presents information concerning the water and related land resources of the Middle Coast Drainage Basin and is the result of a cooperative study by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the State Water Resources Board of Oregon. The broad objectives of the cooperative survey were to gather basic data and information pertinent to the use and control of water for agriculture in the area, to highlight such major water related problems as erosion, flood prevention, and drainage, and to outline a general program for water and related land resource management to be used as a background for future detailed study and planning.
description: Upon request of the State Water Resources Board, the U. S. Department of Agriculture cooperated in this survey under the provisions of section 6 of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (Public Law 566, 83rd Congress, as amended).

description: If a component of cosmological dark matter is made up of massive particles - such as sterile neutrinos - that decay with cosmological lifetime to emit photons, the reionization history of the universe would be affected, and cosmic microwave background anisotropies can be used to constrain such a decaying particle model of dark matter. The optical depth depends rather sensitively on the decaying dark matter particle mass m_{dm}, lifetime tau_{dm}, and the mass fraction of cold dark matter f that they account for in this model. Assuming that there are no other sources of reionization and using the WMAP 7-year data, we find that 250 eV < m_{dm} < 1 MeV, whereas 2.23*10^3 yr < tau_{dm} < 1.23*10^18 yr. The best fit values for m_{dm} and tau_{dm}/f are 17.3 keV and 2.03*10^16 yr respectively.

description: We present multi-configuration Breit-Pauli distorted-wave photoionization (PI) cross sections and radiative recombination (RR) and dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficients for the first six krypton ions. These were calculated with the AUTOSTRUCTURE code, using semi-relativistic radial wavefunctions in intermediate coupling. Kr has been detected in several planetary nebulae (PNe) and H II regions, and is a useful tracer of neutron-capture nucleosynthesis. PI, RR, and DR data are required to accurately correct for unobserved Kr ions in ionized nebulae, and hence to determine elemental Kr abundances. PI cross sections have been determined for ground configuration states of Kr^0--Kr^5+ up to 100 Rydbergs. Our Kr^+ PI calculations were significantly improved through comparison with experimental measurements. RR and DR rate coefficients were determined from the direct and resonant PI cross sections at temperatures (10^1--10^7)z^2 K, where z is the charge. We account for Delta n=0 DR core excitations, and find that DR is the dominant recombination mechanism for all but Kr^+ at photoionized plasma temperatures. Internal uncertainties are estimated by comparing results computed with three different configuration-interaction expansions for each ion, and by testing the sensitivity to variations in the orbital radial scaling parameters. The PI cross sections are generally uncertain by 30-50% near the ground state thresholds. Near 10^4 K, the RR rate coefficients are typically uncertain by <10%, while those of DR exhibit uncertainties of factors of 2 to 3, due to the unknown energies of near-threshold autoionizing resonances. With the charge transfer rate coefficients presented in the third paper of this series, these data enable robust Kr abundance determinations in photoionized nebulae for the first time.

description: A crucial biological process that involves both transcription and translation is protein synthesis. While, the translation mechanism endures protein synthesis with the help of messenger RNA, translation initiation factors, initiator tRNA and ribosomal small subunit, which efficiently recruit mRNA and start protein synthesis. This study focuses on the archaea, which is an attractive target of its evolutionary aspects. aIF2 plays a key regulatory roles in the archaea. This work mainly focuses on the initiation mechanism of Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 and analyzes the structural interaction pattern between proteins. Here, the crystal structure of PH0702 was retrieved from the Protein Data Bank (PDB id: 6A34). Further, a molecular docking was carried out with the PH0702 protein, GTP and tRNA using the Glide module of Schrödinger and PATCHDOCK online server. Result shows the residues (Arg57, Gln206 and Lys258) interact with the oxygen group of 1st, 2nd and 3rd phosphoric acid. The three hydrogen bonds were formed between the Guanine (560) and Ser (300). Similarly, Modeling of 30S ribosomal subunit and mRNA of P. horikoshii OT3 were carried and their stability was analyzed using the molecular dynamics approach. Hence, this study paved a good platform for elucidating the overall mechanism of the protein initiation process.

description: We report electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements in the Gd3+ doped semiconducting filled skutterudite compound Ce1-xGdxFe4P12 (x = 0.001). As the temperature T varies from T = 150 K to T = 165 K, the Gd3+ ESR fine and hyperfine structures coalesce into a broad inhomogeneous single resonance. At T = 200 K the line narrows and as T increases further, the resonance becomes homogeneous with a thermal broadening of 1.1(2) Oe/K. These results suggest that the origin of these features may be associated to a subtle interdependence of thermally activated mechanisms that combine: i) an increase with T of the density of activated conduction-carriers across the T-dependent semiconducting pseudogap; ii) the Gd3+ Korringa relaxation process due to an exchange interaction, J_{fd}S.s, between the Gd3+ localized magnetic moments and the thermally activated conduction-carriers and; iii) a relatively weak confining potential of the rare-earth ions inside the oversized (Fe2P3)4 cage, which allows the rare-earths to become rattler Einstein oscillators above T = 148 K. We argue that the rattling of the Gd3+ ions, via a motional narrowing mechanism, also contributes to the coalescence of the ESR fine and hyperfine structure.

description: The equilibrium thermodynamic properties of binary Lennard–Jones mixtures are determined by means of a Monte Carlo-based perturbation theory for an effective single-component fluid. The results for the equation of state and the excess energy are compared with simulation data obtained for two equimolar binary Lennard–Jones fluid mixtures at different temperatures along a wide range of densities. The satisfactory accuracy achieved seems to suggest that this approach might be a useful tool to deal with mixtures with a wide variety of intermolecular interactions including mixtures of real fluids.

description: Implicit particle filtering is a sequential Monte Carlo method for data assim- ilation, designed to keep the number of particles manageable by focussing attention on regions of large probability. These regions are found by min- imizing, for each particle, a scalar function F of the state variables. Some previous implementations of the implicit filter rely on finding the Hessians of these functions. The calculation of the Hessians can be cumbersome if the state dimension is large or if the underlying physics are such that derivatives of F are difficult to calculate. This is the case in many geophysical applica- tions, in particular for models with partial noise, i.e. with a singular state covariance matrix. Examples of models with partial noise include stochastic partial differential equations driven by spatially smooth noise processes and models for which uncertain dynamic equations are supplemented by con- servation laws with zero uncertainty. We make the implicit particle filter applicable to such situations by combining gradient descent minimization with random maps and show that the filter is efficient, accurate and reliable because it operates in a subspace whose dimension is smaller than the state dimension. As an example, we assimilate data for a system of nonlinear partial differential equations that appears in models of geomagnetism.

description: Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with coordinatively unsaturated open metal sites (OMSs) are promising sorbent materials in atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) systems at low relative humidity (RH) due to their strong interactions with water molecules. However, accurate computational modelling of water adsorption in those materials are challenging, as standard force fields (FFs) based on the 12-6 Lennard–Jones (L–J) potential cannot properly describe the water–OMS interactions. In biomolecular simulations, the 12-6-4 L–J potential has been successfully used to model metal ion–water interactions in which the extra 1/r4-term is for charge-induced dipole electrostatics. In this work, we adopted this strategy and used the 12-6-4 L–J potential to model water–OMS interactions in MOFs for low RH AWH applications. Without any modifications, the parameters used for aqueous metal ions were able to greatly improve the accuracy in predicting water adsorption isotherms in MOF-74, which highlights the simplicity and transferability of this method.

description: Bianchi type V viscous fluid cosmological model for barotropic fluid distribution with varying cosmological term $Λ$ is investigated. We have examined a cosmological scenario proposing a variation law for Hubble parameter $H$ in the background of homogeneous, anisotropic Bianchi type V space-time. The model isotropizes asymptotically and the presence of shear viscosity accelerates the isotropization. The model describes a unified expansion history of the universe indicating initial decelerating expansion and late time accelerating phase. Cosmological consequences of the model are also discussed.

description: The EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS) was created to reduce the CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions at the lowest economic cost. In reality market participants are faced with considerable uncertainty due to price changes and require price and volatility estimates and forecasts for appropriate risk management, asset allocation and volatility trading. Although the simplest approach to estimate volatility is to use the historical standard deviation, realized volatility is a more accurate measure for volatility, since it is based on intraday data. Besides the stylized facts commonly observed in financial time series, we observe long-memory properties in the realized volatility series, which motivates the use of Heterogeneous Autoregressive (HAR) class models. Therefore, we propose to model and forecast the realized volatility of the EU ETS futures with HAR class models. The HAR models outperform benchmark models such as the standard long-memory ARFIMA model in terms of model fit, in-sample and out-of-sample forecasting. The analysis is based on intraday data (May 2007-April 2012) for futures on CO2 certificates for the second EU-ETS trading period (expiry December 2008-2012). The estimation results of the models allow to explain the volatility drivers in the market and volatility structure, according to the Heterogeneous Market Hypothesis as well as the observed asymmetries. We see that both speculators with short investment horizons as well as traders taking long-term hedging positions are active in the market. In a simulation study we test the suitability of the HAR model for option pricing and conclude that the HAR model is capable of mimicking the long-term volatility structure in the futures market and can be used for short-term and long-term option pricing.

description: steroid (596) Scheila was reported to exhibit a cometary appearance and an increase in brightness on UT 2010 December 10.4. We used the IRCS spectrograph on the 8-m Subaru telescope to obtain medium-resolution spectra of Scheila in the HK-band (1.4 - 2.5$μ$m) and low-resolution spectra in the KL-band (2.0 - 4.0$μ$m) on UT 2010 December 13 and 14. In addition, we obtained low-resolution spectroscopy using the SpeX spectrograph on the 3-m NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) telescope on UT 2011 January 04 and 05. The spectrum of Scheila shows a consistent red slope from 0.8 to 4.0$μ$m with no apparent absorption features, resembling spectra of D-type asteroids. An intimate mixing model suggests that the amount of water ice that might be present on the surface of Scheila is no more than a few percent. The spectrum of the Tagish Lake chondrite matches the asteroid's spectrum at shorter wavelengths ($λ< 2.5 μ$m), but no hydration features are observed at longer wavelengths on Scheila. Our analysis corroborates other studies suggesting that the comet-like activity of Scheila is likely not caused by the sublimation of water ice. The dust coma and tail may be results of a recent impact event.

description: In this paper we clarify the relations between the existing sets of regularity conditions for convergence rates of nonparametric indirect regression (NPIR) and nonparametric instrumental variables (NPIV) regression models. We establish minimax risk lower bounds in mean integrated squared error loss for the NPIR and NPIV models under two basic regularity conditions: the approximation number and the link condition. We show that both a simple projection estimator for the NPIR model and a sieve minimum distance estimator for the NPIV model can achieve the minimax risk lower bounds and are rate optimal uniformly over a large class of structure functions, allowing for mildly ill-posed and severely ill-posed cases.

description: We present results of simulations aimed at tracing the formation of nuclear star clusters (NCs) and black hole (BH) seeds, in a cosmological context. We focus on two mechanisms for the formation of BHs at high redshifts: as end-products of (1) Population III stars in metal free halos, and of (2) runaway stellar collisions in metal poor NCs. Our model tracks the chemical, radiative and mechanical feedback of stars on the baryonic component of the evolving halos. This procedure allows us to evaluate when and where the conditions for BH formation are met, and to trace the emergence of BH seeds arising from the dynamical channel, in a cosmological context. BHs start to appear already at z~30 as remnants of Population III stars. The efficiency of this mechanism begins decreasing once feedbacks become increasingly important. Around redshift z~15, BHs mostly form in the centre of mildly metal enriched halos inside dense NCs. The seed BHs that form along the two pathways have at birth a mass around 100-1000M\odot. The occupation fraction of BHs is a function of both halo mass and mass growth rate: at a given z, heavier and faster growing halos have a higher chance to form a native BH, or to acquire an inherited BH via merging of another system. With decreasing z, the probability of finding a BH shifts toward progressively higher mass halo intervals. This is due to the fact that, at later cosmic times, low mass systems rarely form a seed, and already formed BHs are deposited into larger mass systems due to hierarchical mergers. Our model predict that at z=0, all halos above 10^11M\odot should host a BH (in agreement with observational results), most probably inherited during their lifetime. Halos less massive then 10^9M\odot have a higher probability to host a native BH, but their occupation fraction decreases below 10%.

IGM, a glacier evolution model accelerated by deep-learning and GPU
Creators: name: Jouvet, Guillaume
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: We present the Instructed Glacier Model (IGM) -- a new framework to model the evolution of glaciers at any scale by coupling ice dynamics, surface mass balance, and mass conservation. The key novelty of IGM is that it models the ice flow by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which is trained from physical high-order ice flow mechanical models. Doing so has major advantages in both forward and inverse modelling. In forward modelling, the most computationally demanding model component (the ice flow) is substituted by a very cheap CNN emulator. Once trained with representative data, IGM permits to model individual mountain glaciers several orders of magnitude faster than high-order ones on CPU with fidelity levels above 90 \% in terms of ice flow solutions leading to nearly identical transient thickness evolution. Switching to Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) permits additional significant speed-ups, especially when modelling large-scale glacier networks and/or high spatial resolutions. In inverse modelling, the substitution by a CNN emulator does not only speed up but facilitates dramatically the data assimilation step, i.e. the search for optimal ice thickness and ice flow parameter spatial distributions that match spatial observations at best (such as ice flow, surface topography or ice thickness profiles) while being consistent with the high-order ice flow mechanics. The reason is that inverting a CNN can take great benefit from the tools used for its training such as automatic differentiation, stochastic gradient methods, and GPU. IGM is an open-source Python code (https://github.com/jouvetg/igm), which deals with two-dimensional gridded input and output data. Together with a companion library of trained ice flow emulators, IGM permits user-friendly, computationally highly-efficient, easy-to-customize, and mechanically state-of-the-art glacier forward and inverse modelling at any scale. We illustrate its potential by replicating a simulation of the great Aletsch Glacier, Switzerland, from 1880 to 2100, based on a Stokes model.

description: Les établissements publics marocains hybrides occupent une position singulière au sein du paysage administratif en fusionnant des caractéristiques des établissements publics commerciaux et non commerciaux. Cette hybridité introduit une complexité dans leur fonctionnement et leur gestion. D'une part, ils fournissent des activités régaliennes répondant à l'intérêt général. D'autre part, ils opèrent dans des sphères économiques, en fournissant des activités génératrices de revenus. À travers une étude qualitative d'un cas unique, cette recherche a pour objectif d'analyser le statut fiscal d'un établissement public marocain hybride. Les résultats mettent en lumière une ambiguïté fréquente entre les activités lucratives et non lucratives, ce qui crée une confusion quant à l'application des lois fiscales marocaines. Cette situation soulève des préoccupations majeures en matière de transparence et d'équité fiscale. Une clarification de la réglementation fiscale entourant ces établissements est nécessaire pour garantir une meilleure intégration dans le système fiscal marocain.

Наконец, в статье исследуется роль и мандат Международного банка, а также последствия этих изменений для их эффективности в решении глобальных экономических проблем. Исследование показывает, что, хотя данный институт был эффективен в содействии глобальной экономической стабильности и развитию, политика Международного Банка и вмешательство подвергались критике за усугубление неравенства и нанесение ущерба окружающей среде. Тем не менее, Всемирный банк остается важнейшим институтом в глобальной экономике, и анализ подчеркивает важность продолжения усилий по международному сотрудничеству и управлению для решения проблем, с которыми сталкивается современный мир.

description: We update our prior work on the case B collisional-recombination spectrum of He I to incorporate \textit{ab initio} photoionisation cross-sections. This large set of accurate, self-consistent cross-sections represents a significant improvement in He I emissivity calculations because it largely obviates the piecemeal nature that has marked all modern works. A second, more recent set of \textit{ab initio} cross-sections is also available, but we show that those are less consistent with bound-bound transition probabilities than our adopted set. We compare our new effective recombination coefficients with our prior work and our new emissivities with those by other researchers, and we conclude with brief remarks on the effects of the present work on the He I error budget. Our calculations cover temperatures $5000 \le T_e \le 25000$ K and densities $10^1 \le n_e \le 10^{14}$ cm$^{-3}$. Full results are available online.

National Association of Women Artists 64th Annual Exhibition, May 10 - May 27, 1956
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1956

description: The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) was established in 1889 and is the oldest professional women's fine arts organization in the United States. NAWA's mission is to promote awareness of, and interest in, visual art created by women in the United States. As part of this effort NAWA holds an annual exhibition of works by members of the association and publishes an exhibition catalog to accompany or commemorate the annual exhibitions. These catalogs not only function as an exhibition catalog, but also as a document that summarizes the structure, membership, and activities of the association.Information that can be found in these catalogs includes lists of officers, members of the executive board and committees, prize winners, lists of exhibitor and members, and images of some of the artwork exhibited. Catalogs from the 2000s also include information on NAWA events and activities beyond the annual exhibition.Please note that the numbering of the annual catalogs was adjusted in 1960 and again in 1971. For example, NAWA designated the annual exhibition in 1960 as the 70th Anniversary Exhibition after 1959 was the 67th Annual Exhibition. These adjustments appear to have been made to reflect the date of the founding of the association, so that, by 1989, the annual exhibition commemorated the 100-year anniversary of the founding of NAWA in 1889.

description: Star formation in massive galaxies is quenched at some point during hierarchical mass assembly. To understand where and when the quenching processes takes place, we study the evolution of the total star formation rate per unit total halo mass (Σ(SFR/M)) in three different mass scales: low mass halos (field galaxies), groups, and clusters, up to a redshift ~1.6. We use deep far-infrared PACS data at 100 and 160 um to accurately estimate the total star formation rate of the Luminous Infrared Galaxy population of 9 clusters with mass ~10^{15} M_{\odot}, and 9 groups/poor clusters with mass ~ 5 x 10^{13} M_{\odot}. Estimates of the field Σ(SFR/M) are derived from the literature, by dividing the star formation rate density by the mean comoving matter density of the universe. The field Σ(SFR/M) increases with redshift up to z~1 and it is constant thereafter. The evolution of the Σ(SFR/M)-z relation in galaxy systems is much faster than in the field. Up to redshift z~0.2, the field has a higher Σ(SFR/M) than galaxy groups and galaxy clusters. At higher redshifts, galaxy groups and the field have similar Σ(SFR/M), while massive clusters have significantly lower Σ(SFR/M) than both groups and the field. There is a hint of a reversal of the SFR activity vs. environment at z~1.6, where the group Σ(SFR/M) lies above the field Σ(SFR/M)-z relation. We discuss possible interpretations of our results in terms of the processes of downsizing, and star-formation quenching.

Using blinking fractals for mathematical modeling of processes of growth in biological systems

description: Many biological processes and objects can be described by fractals. The paper uses a new type of objects - blinking fractals - that are not covered by traditional theories considering dynamics of self-similarity processes. It is shown that both traditional and blinking fractals can be successfully studied by a recent approach allowing one to work numerically with infinite and infinitesimal numbers. It is shown that blinking fractals can be applied for modeling complex processes of growth of biological systems including their season changes. The new approach allows one to give various quantitative characteristics of the obtained blinking fractals models of biological systems.

Intersectionality of sexual and gender minority identities: Adapting the minority stress model

description: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, inter, and queer/questioning (LGBTIQ+) people in Switzerland still experience discrimination and structural inequalities (Hässler & Eisner, 2022). They are joked about, not taken seriously, stared at, victims of sexual harassment and of violence based on their LGBTIQ+ identity. This applies to people who belong to a sexual minority (i.e., people who are not heterosexual) and people who are part of a gender minority (i.e., people who are not cisgender). Based on the minority stress model (Meyer, 2003), these so-called minority stressors (Hendricks & Testa, 2012; Meyer, 2003) should lead to adverse health outcomes and higher prevalence of mental health disorders among LGBTIQ+ people. The present research acknowledges findings in intersectionality research and attempts to adapt the minority stress model (Meyer, 2003) to apply for people who belong to more than one social category under the LGBTIQ+ umbrella by adding a differentiation between sexual minority identities and gender minority identities.
Weak values of a quantum observable and the cross-Wigner distribution

description: We study the weak values of a quantum observable from the point of view of the Wigner formalism. The main actor is here the cross-Wigner transform of two functions, which is in disguise the cross-ambiguity function familiar from radar theory and time-frequency analysis. It allows us to express weak values using a complex probability distribution. We suggest that our approach seems to confirm that the weak value of an observable is, as conjectured by several authors, due to the interference of two wavefunctions, one coming from the past, and the other from the future.

description: Der Begriff 'Pitaval' bezeichnet eine literarisch gestaltete Sammlung berühmter Rechtsfälle. Während in der deutschen Sprache 'Pitaval' als Ableitung vom Namen des Autors der ersten Sammlung dieses Typs, François Gayot de Pitaval, dominiert, schreiben sich französische Sammlungen durch Zitation der Titelformulierung 'Causes célèbres' in dieselbe Tradition ein. Ursprünglich steht die Gerichtsverhandlung, repräsentiert durch teils authentisches Aktenmaterial, im Zentrum jener Erzählungen, die das Gros der Sammlungen ausmachen. Jüngere Adaptionen verwenden den Begriff mitunter auch für die Sammlung von Kriminalfällen, in denen die Beschreibung von Tat und Täter*in, der psychologischen Motivation oder der milieubezogenen Erklärung des Verbrechens an die Stelle des anwaltlichen Wirkens tritt. Es ist diese kontinuierlich produktive Vielfalt der Adaption, durch die sich das Genre zwar teilweise von seinem Ursprung entfernt, die jedoch zugleich den Ausgangspunkt bildet für eine außerordentlich breite Rezeption in anderen Gattungen. Vermittels dieser Rezeption erweist sich der Pitaval als das juristische Fallreservoire der europäischen Literatur.
description: The name 'Pitaval' refers to a genre of literarily designed collections of famous legal cases. While in English and German, 'Pitaval' as a derivation from the name of the first collection’s author, François Gayot de Pitaval, dominates, French collections subscribe to the same tradition by citing the title, 'Causes célèbresl'. Originally, the court case, represented with authentic material from the court proceedings, stood at the centre of those retellings that make for the majority of the collections. Newer adaptations sometimes also use the term for collections of true crime cases, in which the description of the crime and the culprit, the psychological motivation or the environmental explanation of the crime take the place of the legal work. This continual productive variety of adaptions might mean that the genre moves away from its origins in parts, but it is also the starting point for an exceptionally broad reception in other genres. By means of this reception, Pitaval has proven to be the reservoir of legal cases in European literature.
