description: Retrieving the most similar objects in a large-scale database for a given query is a fundamental building block in many application domains, ranging from web searches, visual, cross media, and document retrievals. State-of-the-art approaches have mainly focused on capturing the underlying geometry of the data manifolds. Graph-based approaches, in particular, define various diffusion processes on weighted data graphs. Despite success, these approaches rely on fixed-weight graphs, making ranking sensitive to the input affinity matrix. In this study, we propose a new ranking algorithm that simultaneously learns the data affinity matrix and the ranking scores. The proposed optimization formulation assigns adaptive neighbors to each point in the data based on the local connectivity, and the smoothness constraint assigns similar ranking scores to similar data points. We develop a novel and efficient algorithm to solve the optimization problem. Evaluations using synthetic and real datasets suggest that the proposed algorithm can outperform the existing methods.

description: Spatial variations of the [S II]/H-Alpha and [N II]/H-Alpha line intensity ratios observed in the gaseous halo of the Milky Way and other galaxies are inconsistent with pure photoionization models. They appear to require a supplemental heating mechanism that increases the electron temperature at low densities n_e. This would imply that in addition to photoionization, which has a heating rate per unit volume proportional to n_e^2, there is another source of heat with a rate per unit volume proportional to a lower power of n_e. One possible mechanism is the dissipation of interstellar plasma turbulence, which according to Minter & Spangler (1997) heats the ionized interstellar medium in the Milky Way at a rate ~ 1x10^-25 n_e ergs cm^-3 s^-1. If such a source were present, it would dominate over photoionization heating in regions where n_e < 0.1 cm^-3, producing the observed increases in the [S II]/H-Alpha and [N II]/H-Alpha intensity ratios at large distances from the galactic midplane, as well as accounting for the constancy of [S II]/[N II], which is not explained by pure photoionization. Other supplemental heating sources, such as magnetic reconnection, cosmic rays, or photoelectric emission from small grains, could also account for these observations, provided they supply to the warm ionized medium ~ 10^-5 ergs s^-1 per cm^2 of Galactic disk.

description: Ten different anaerobic gut fungal strains were isolated from fecal samples of cow and goat in Oklahoma, USA. The isolates displayed polycentric thalli, uniflagellated zoospores, and sausage-shaped hyphal constrictions, all characteristic of the genus Anaeromyces, and lobed or appressorium-like structures on the hyphae, previously reported in Anaeromyces elegans but not in A. mucronatus or A. robustus. Further, the strains exhibited highly coiled and entangled hyphae previously unreported in the Neocallimastigomycota, but resembling fungal traps previously observed in multiple nematophagous fungi. Scanning electron micrographs of isolates grown on switchgrass showed entrapment of plant material by the hyphal coils and the penetration of plant fibers at various sites by the appressorium-like structures. Molecular analysis based on sequences of both partial nuc rDNA ITS1 spacer region and the D1–D2 domains of the nuc28S rDNA confirmed the classification of all isolates in Anaeromyces and confirmed their phylogenetic distance from the available A. mucronatus and A. robustus sequences. On the basis of morphological and phylogenetic distinctions, we conclude that these strains represent a new Anaeromyces species, for which A. contortus is proposed.
Exploring the Connection between Landscape and Biopolitics: The Story of Freshkills Park
Creators: name: Hutchinson, Philip
Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 2017

description: Constructed on top of what was the world’s largest landfill at Fresh Kills on Staten Island, Freshkills Park is one of the most recent parks in New York, United States of America. The landfill has a history deeply enmeshed with the politics of New York City and this influenced the decision to create Freshkills Park and continues to shape the park itself. Faced with the unenviable task of constructing an enormous park on a landfill site, administrators are raising the profile of the park by linking it to several significant issues that impact the city including climate change, waste management, ecology loss and terrorism. These newer narratives augment traditional narratives of parks and, more importantly, draw into the spotlight the broader political context of parks. By examining the creation of Freshkills Park through the lens of Michel Foucault’s theories of power, biopolitics and governance, this paper argues that parks are a vehicle for biopolitics in an effort to manage the attitudes and behaviour of individuals for practices of self-discipline. Further, the new narratives associated with Freshkills Park also highlight how the park has become a vehicle to manage attitudes and behaviours relating to the vulnerability of the state. In that sense, parks in cities act as a spatial representation and enabler of biopolitical systems. The biopolitical systems evident in parks both shape and reflect the value that government and the broader population ascribe to parks. Consequently, landscape plays a much more significant role in political aspects of the city than has previously been recognised.

description: The FlexRay bus is a communication standard used in the automotive industry. It offers a deterministic message transmission in the static segment following a time-triggered schedule. Even if its bandwidth is ten times higher than the bandwidth of CAN, its throughput limits are going to be reached in high-class car models soon. A solution that could postpone this problem is to use an efficient scheduling algorithm that exploits both channels of the FlexRay. The significant and often neglected feature that can theoretically double the bandwidth is the possibility to use two independent communication channels that can intercommunicate through the gateway. In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorithm that decomposes the scheduling problem to the ECU-to-channel assignment subproblem which decides which channel the ECUs (Electronic Control Units) should be connected to and the channel scheduling subproblem which creates static segment communication schedules for both channels. The algorithm is able to create a schedule for cases where channels are configured in the independent mode as well as in the fault-tolerant mode or in cases where just part of the signals are fault-tolerant. Finally, the algorithm is evaluated on real data and synthesized data, and the relation between the portion of fault-tolerant signals and the number of allocated slots is presented.

Compte tenu des économies réalisées sur les coûts de taille, j'ai pu réaliser un bon bénéfice - assez pour garder un employé". Ross exploite de nombreuses haies sur sa ferme, certaines depuis trois cycles de coupe. Son fils travaille maintenant avec lui dans l'entreprise familiale de bois de chauffage. Tous deux entrevoient un avenir prometteur dans la gestion et l'exploitation des haies pour le bois de chauffage, en particulier avec la hausse des prix des billes de bois. "Que peut-on faire de mieux ? Nous produisons un carburant respectueux de l'environnement en échange d'un profit tout en changeant simplement la façon dont nous gérons nos haies. La perte de production des champs est négligeable. Encore mieux, l'état des haies s'améliore et elles abritent la faune." En ce qui concerne l'avenir, tout indique qu'ils pourraient également bénéficier de subventions publiques destinées à remplacer le régime de paiement de base.

description: Azospirillum sp. strain B510 has been known as the plant growth-promoting endophyte; however, the growth-promotion effect is dependent on the plant genotype. Here, we aimed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to primary root length in rice at the seedling stage as a response to inoculation with B510. The primary root length of “Nipponbare” was significantly reduced by inoculation with B510, whereas that of “Kasalath” was not affected. Thus, we examined 98 backcrossed inbred lines and four chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSL) derived from a cross between Nipponbare and Kasalath. The primary root length was measured as a response to inoculation with B510, and the relative root length (RRL) was calculated based on the response to non-inoculation. Three QTL alleles, qRLI-6 and qRLC-6 on Chromosome (Chr.) 6 and qRRL-7 on Chr. 7 derived from Kasalath increased primary root length with inoculation (RLI), without inoculation, (RLC) and RRL and explained 20.2%, 21.3%, and 11.9% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. CSSL33, in which substitution occurred in the vicinity region of qRRL-7, showed a completely different response to inoculation with B510 compared with Nipponbare. Therefore, we suggest that qRRL-7 might strongly control root growth in response to inoculation with Azospirillum sp. strain B510.
Australian Mythical Landscape and the Desire of Non-English-speaking Immigrants

Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 2017

description: Through their frequent visits to public green spaces in cities with white majority cultures, non-English-speaking immigrants draw attention to the way people from different cultural backgrounds perceive and use these spaces. By building on theories of landscape as a cultural phenomenon, this paper investigates new ways in which recent generations of immigrants to Australia are using urban park spaces. It focuses on cultural and mythical notions of Australian park landscapes and questions to what extent they contribute to the sense of inclusivity, or alienation, that non-English-speaking immigrants experience in using these spaces. This paper examines the mythology surrounding the ‘bush’ and ‘Arcadia’ and how these are intrinsic to Anglo-Australian consideration of natural landscapes, landscape design and, therefore, urban park character in Australia. These characteristics, along with the influence of English picturesque design, have resulted in landscapes that illustrate the aesthetic of nature and facilitate sporting activities. However, how are these landscapes, which are culturally meaningful for insiders, perceived by newcomers? Non-English-speaking immigrants in Australian urban park spaces reconnect to their memories of place and cultural identities. They also show stronger preferences for passive activities and socialising, and express their selves and culture in relation to nature in urban parks. Mythical notions of park landscapes that have evolved in Australian culture, coupled with the desire of recent non-English-speaking immigrants to use urban park spaces in ways counter to these notions, have given rise to dialectical attitudes towards Australian landscapes and their meanings. This paper suggests ways that these insights can be used to improve the design and management of urban parks so that they promote inclusivity and a sense of belonging for all park users in multicultural Australian cities.

description: We advocate for a tRNA- rather than an mRNA-centric model for evolution of the genetic code. The mechanism for evolution of cloverleaf tRNA provides a root sequence for radiation of tRNAs and suggests a simplified understanding of code evolution. To analyze code sectoring, rooted tRNAomes were compared for several archaeal and one bacterial species. Rooting of tRNAome trees reveals conserved structures, indicating how the code was shaped during evolution and suggesting a model for evolution of a LUCA tRNAome tree. We propose the polyglycine hypothesis that the initial product of the genetic code may have been short chain polyglycine to stabilize protocells. In order to describe how anticodons were allotted in evolution, the sectoring-degeneracy hypothesis is proposed. Based on sectoring, a simple stepwise model is developed, in which the code sectors from a 1→4→8→∼16 letter code. At initial stages of code evolution, we posit strong positive selection for wobble base ambiguity, supporting convergence to 4-codon sectors and ∼16 letters. In a later stage, ∼5–6 letters, including stops, were added through innovating at the anticodon wobble position. In archaea and bacteria, tRNA wobble adenine is negatively selected, shrinking the maximum size of the primordial genetic code to 48 anticodons. Because 64 codons are recognized in mRNA, tRNA-mRNA coevolution requires tRNA wobble position ambiguity leading to degeneracy of the code.

description: Many atomic processes result in the emission of photons. Analysis of the properties of emitted photons, such as energy and angular distribution as well as polarization, is regarded as a powerful tool for gaining more insight into the physics of corresponding processes. Another characteristic of light is the projection of its angular momentum upon propagation direction. This property has attracted a special attention over the last decades due to studies of twisted (or vortex) light beams. Measurements being sensitive to this projection may provide valuable information about the role of angular momentum in the fundamental atomic processes. Here we describe a simple theoretical method for determination of the angular momentum properties of the photons emitted in various atomic processes. This method is based on the evaluation of expectation value of the total angular momentum projection operator. To illustrate the method, we apply it to the text-book examples of plane-wave, spherical-wave, and Bessel light. Moreover, we investigate the projection of angular momentum for the photons emitted in the process of the radiative recombination with ionic targets. It is found that the recombination photons do carry a non-zero projection of the orbital angular momentum.

title: Studies on the physiological significance of marginal riboflavin deficiency in man with an emphasis on the metabolic role of riboflavin in red blood cell ageing
Creators: name: Powers, H
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 1979

description: The results of a recently conducted nationwide survey in Britain indicated that a large proportion of the elderly population could be considered to be biochemically riboflavin deficient. The work presented here describes an attempt to assess the physiological significance of marginal riboflavin deficiency in man with particular emphasis on the metabolic importance of riboflavin to red blood cell (RBC) ageing. Red cells from adults and geriatrics were separated into nine fractions of different mean age by density gradient centrifugation. Haematological measurements including haematocrit, RBC count, reticulocyte count, and haemoglobin (Hb) estimation, were made on whole blood and packed cell samples from all subjects. Glutathione reductase (GR) activity (I.U./g Hb) was measured in all fractions and in unfractionated blood samples from each subject. Biochemical indices selected for study included malonyldialdehyde (MDA) production and percentage haemolysis of RBC in response to peroxidative stress; endogenous haemoglobin derivatives specifically methaemoglobin (MHb) , oxyhaemoglobin (Oxyllb) and sulphaemoglobin (SHb) ; and endogenous reduced glutathione (GSH). In addition the effect of daily riboflavin supplements on haematological and biochemical responses of RBC in two biochemically riboflavin deficient subjects was studied. Studies on RBC distribution suggested that marginal- biochemical ariboflavinosis may predispose RBC to premature lysis In vivo, particularly in the elderly. Biochemical studies showed that as RBC age GR activity, GSH, and OHb fall and peroxidative haemolysis and MHb rise. These observations implied that older cells with low GR activity are less able to resist oxidative stress than are young cells. On the other hand, more MDA was produced in peroxide stressed younger cells than in older cells which may reflect changes in RBC lipid composition as cells age. Although marginal riboflavin deficiency appeared to result in RBC with increased MHb, increased susceptibility to peroxidative haemolysis and reduced concentrations of GSH these effects were not statistically significant. Finally, a mechanism was proposed which implicated GR activity as a determinant of RBC survival and a computer programme devised to describe the mechanism. Results of the study suggested that GR activity is a determinant of RBC survival or is closely linked with the activity of another such enzyme.

description: This paper reports on the first phase of a longitudinal project investigating the perceived purposes that different stakeholders have for primary physical education (PE). In the study, the views of 19 teacher educators from seven countries across Europe were sought. While teacher educators may have some influence across the layers of an education system, little is known about this stakeholder group and their views about primary PE. Analysis of focus group conversations depicts that, while the teacher educators come from a wide range of contexts, their views on the purposes of primary PE were more similar than different. With primary PE in danger of disconnecting into different schools of thought, this finding is important because it suggests that more coherent and connected approaches have the potential to be developed. In line with most government policies from the seven countries, similarities focused on both an educational and outward-looking view of primary PE. Significantly, while the teacher educators recognised the key role of physical learning in primary PE, they also highlighted how children’s social, emotional, and cognitive learning form part of an integrated view of primary PE. Teacher educators recognised the importance of primary PE expanding beyond the hall/gymnasium and into classroom, school, and community settings. However, some concerns were voiced about the influence of outsourcing and sport agendas that currently dominate. The views of these teacher educators offer a useful starting point for further investigation, particularly as they present the purposes of primary PE from both an integrated and educational perspective.

description: The partial decay rate $Γ(Z\to b\bar{b})$ is significantly influenced by the mass of the top quark due to electroweak radiative corrections. The leading $\sim m_t^2$ and the next-to-leading contribution $\sim \ln m_t^2$ are known to be numerically of similar size. In this work we calculate the QCD corrections to the logarithmic correction using the heavy top mass expansion. The ${\cal O} (α\as \ln m_t^2)$ corrections are of the same order as the QCD corrections to the quadratic top mass term, but of different sign.

The Garden of Entangled Paths: Landscape Phenomena at the Albany Bulb Wasteland
Creators: name: Kullmann, Karl
Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 2017

description: Over four decades, the Albany Bulb in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States of America metamorphosed from a dumpsite to a thicket harbouring a clandestine community. Since the forced decampment of this spontaneous society, the site has endured as a living ruin that continues to inspire the explorative impulses of visitors. While residual structures and decaying scrap-sculptures represent the tangible face of the site and its heterotopic past, more nuanced underlying landscape phenomena ground this cultural legacy. In exploring these phenomena, this paper offers a counterpoint to the tendency to engage with wastelands programmatically and pictorially while overlooking the influence of the corporeal landscape. The emergent nature of these phenomena suggests that the agency of design might circumvent typically fraught interactions with undesigned waste-scapes by assuming characteristics of the gardener.

description: In models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking which sensitively involve the third generation, such as top quark condensation, the effects of the new dynamics can show up experimentally in Z->b\bar{b}. We compare the sensitivity of Z->b\bar{b} and top quark production at the Tevatron to models of the new physics. Z->b\bar{b} is a relatively more sensitive probe to new strongly coupled U(1) gauge bosons, while it is generally less sensitive a probe to new physics involving color octet gauge bosons as is top quark production itself. Nonetheless, to accomodate a significant excess in Z->b\bar{b} requires choosing model parameters that may be ruled out within run I(b) at the Tevatron.

We have resolved extension in at least 4 of 5 objects and find evidence for a wide range in the morphologies and magnitudes of these hosts. The host galaxy luminosities range from sub-L* to about 4 L*, with most of the hosts having luminosities about L*. These host galaxies have magnitudes and sizes consistent with those of the Ly break galaxies at similar redshifts and at similar rest wavelengths, but are about a magnitude fainter than the comparable 6C radio galaxies. One residual host component is not centered on the quasar nucleus, and several have close companions (within ~10 kpc), indications that these systems are possibly in some phase of a merger process.

description: The perturbative QCD fragmentation functions for a heavy quark to fragment into heavy-light mesons are studied in the heavy-quark limit. The fragmentation functions for S-wave pseudoscalar and vector mesons are calculated to next-to-leading order in the heavy-quark mass expansion using the methods of heavy-quark effective theory. The results agree with the $m_b\to \infty$ limit of the perturbative QCD fragmentation functions for $\bar b$ into $B_c$ and $B_c^*$. We discuss the application of the perturbative QCD fragmentation functions as a model for the fragmentation of heavy quarks into heavy-light mesons. Using this model, we predict the fraction $P_{V}$ of heavy-light mesons that are produced in the vector meson state as functions of the longitudinal momentum fraction $z$ and the transverse momentum relative to the jet axis. The fraction $P_V$ is predicted to vary from about 1/2 at small $z$ to almost 3/4 near $z=1$.

description: We apply the disk-corona evaporation model (Meyer & Meyer-Hofmeister) originally derived for dwarf novae to black hole systems. This model describes the transition of a thin cool outer disk to a hot coronal flow. The mass accretion rate determines the location of this transition. For a number of well studied black hole binaries we take the mass flow rates derived from a fit of the ADAF model to the observed spectra (for a review see Narayan, Mahadevan, & Quataert) and determine where the transition of accretion via a cool disk to a coronal flow/ADAF would be located for these rates. We compare with the observed location of the inner disk edge, as estimated from the maximum velocity of the $\rm H_α$ emission line. We find that the transition caused by evaporation agrees with this in stellar disks. We also show that the ADAF and the ``thin outer disk + corona'' are compatible in terms of the physics in the transition region.

These challenging projects require them to develop knowledge and skills to address increasingly complex situations, ultimately preparing them to be professionals with insightful, creative design strategies. In a studio project, fourth-year undergraduate students in landscape architecture at Utah State University had to structure and map their understanding of a large urban area in northern Mexico for possible planning and design interventions. The students worked on integrating urban systems at the metropolitan scale and illustrated their findings through mapped concepts in a studio called StudioMx. After reviewing a selection of studio methodologies and processes operating in a global context, this paper describes the structure of StudioMx. With the focus on large urban systems in an unfamiliar location, the studio project’s goal was to stress the need to frame analyses and design approaches in creative and abstract ways before investing efforts in a detailed design outcome. The learning objectives were to increase students’ awareness of the design thinking process and to explore creative ways of conveying design approaches

description: Ten different anaerobic gut fungal strains were isolated from fecal samples of cow and goat in Oklahoma, USA. The isolates displayed polycentric thalli, uniflagellated zoospores, and sausage-shaped hyphal constrictions, all characteristic of the genus Anaeromyces, and lobed or appressoria-like structures on the hyphae, previously reported in Anaeromyces elegans but not in A. mucronatus or A. robustus. Further, the strains exhibited highly coiled and entangled hyphae previously unreported in the Neocallimastigomycota, but resembling fungal traps previously observed in multiple nematophagous fungi. Scanning electron micrographs of isolates grown on switchgrass show entrapment of plant material by the hyphal coils and the penetration of plant fibers at various sites by the appressoria-like structures. Molecular analysis based on sequences of both partial nuc rDNA ITS1 spacer region and the D1-D2 domains of the nuc28S rDNA confirmed the classification of all isolates in Anaeromyces and confirmed their phylogenetic distance from the available A. mucronatus and A. robustus sequences. On the basis of morphological and phylogenetic distinctions, we conclude that these strains represent a new Anaeromyces species, for which A. contortus is proposed.

description: We discuss a variation of quadratic gravity in which the gravitational interaction remains weakly coupled at all energies, but is assisted by a Yang-Mills gauge theory which becomes strong at the Planck scale. The Yang-Mills interaction is used to induce the usual Einstein-Hilbert term, which was taken to be small or absent in the original action. We study the spin-two propagator in detail, with a focus on the high mass resonance which is shifted off the real axis by the coupling to real decay channels. We calculate scattering in the $J=2$ partial wave and show explicitly that unitarity is satisfied. The theory will in general have a large cosmological constant and we study possible solutions to this, including a unimodular version of the theory. Overall, the theory satisfies our present tests for being a ultraviolet completion of quantum gravity.

Barriers to the Adoption of Online Design Education within Collegiate Landscape Architecture Programmes in North America
Creators: name: George, Benjamin H
Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 2017

description: The field of landscape architecture has yet to see the broad adoption of online education, and it is theorised that this is because of a failure to adequately address the concerns of faculty. This paper reports the results of a Delphi study that identified the critical barriers holding back landscape architecture faculty in North America from adopting online education. The findings indicate that faculty are most concerned about how the social component of traditional studio learning can be translated to an online environment. Faculty are also sceptical about the lack of precedents and believe they do not receive adequate compensation for online teaching. The study’s findings suggest that previous research with online education in design fields has failed to address many of the primary barriers faculty identified, which may mean a reorientation of the research agenda is necessary.

description: Les landes européennes sont généralement liées aux pratiques d'utilisation des terres telles que la coupe, le brûlage et le pâturage. Ces pratiques sont soutenues par l'UE comme une agriculture de haute valeur environnementale. Néanmoins, l'exode rural et l'abandon des pratiques de gestion contribuent à de grandes accumulations de biomasse végétale hautement inflammable dans les landes et autres zones arbustives de l'espace atlantique de l'UE, ce qui les rend plus vulnérables aux incendies de forêt. Le pâturage par le bétail permet de contrôler l'accumulation de végétation ligneuse inflammable. Il peut également être un outil de gestion durable pour façonner et maintenir les habitats seminaturels et promouvoir une plus grande biodiversité et multifonctionnalité de ces milieux. Il existe une demande de produits biologiques, dont la viande issue de l'élevage de plein air. Les races rustiques locales tirent des avantages du pâturage sur différents arbustes qui, non seulement couvre leurs besoins nutritionnels austères, mais fournissent également des antibiotiques naturels particulièrement adaptés en l'agriculture biologique.

description: We show that the observation of energetic charged leptons from semileptonic $b$ becays at the LEP and SLC $Z$--boson factories offers a unique opportunity to measure the quark mixing matrix element $V_{ub}$. We present various distributions of the $b$ decay products to show that the $b \to u$ decays can be cleanly separated from the $b \to c$ decays, with a signal of $O(100)$ events per million $Z$ bosons produced.

description: By using the Hectospec 6.5 m Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT) and the 2.16 m telescope of National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), we obtained 188 high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) spectra of HII regions in the nearby galaxy M101, which are the largest spectroscopic sample of HII regions for this galaxy so far. These spectra cover a wide range of regions on M101, which enables us to analyze two dimensional distributions of its physical properties. The physical parameters are derived from emission lines or stellar continuum, including stellar population age, electron temperature, oxygen abundance and etc. The oxygen abundances are derived using two empirical methods based on O3N2 and R$_{23}$ indicators, as well as the direct Te method when OIII$\lambda4363$ is available. By applying the harmonic decomposition analysis to the velocity field, we obtained line-of-sight rotation velocity of 71 km s$^{-1}$ and a position angle of 36 degree. The stellar age profile shows an old stellar population in galaxy center and a relative young stellar population in outer regions, suggesting an old bulge and a young disk. Oxygen abundance profile exhibits a clear break at $\sim$18 kpc, with a gradient of $-$0.0364 dex kpc$^{-1}$ in the inner region and $-$0.00686 dex kpc$^{-1}$ in the outer region. Our results agree with the "inside-out" disk growth scenario of M101.

description: We review recent progress in the description of unpolarized transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) gluon distributions at small $x$ in the color glass condensate (CGC) effective theory. We discuss the origin of the non-universality of TMD gluon distributions in the TMD factorization framework and in the CGC theory and the equivalence of the two approaches in their overlapping domain of validity. We show some applications of this equivalence, including recent results on the behavior of TMD gluon distributions at small $x$, and on the study of gluon saturation. We discuss recent advances in the unification of the TMD evolution and the non-linear small-$x$ evolution of gluon distributions.

description: Installer des arbres en intraparcellaire signifie qu'on utilise de la surface normalement allouée à la culture principale. Selon la conception du système, cela pourrait représenter jusqu'à 25% de la superficie cultivée. Il peut ne pas y avoir de production commerciale des arbres pendant plausieurs années après la plantation ; cela oscille entre cinq ans environ pour les espèces à fruits ou les systèmes de taillis à courte rotation, à plusieurs décennies pour les espèces à bois d'oeuvre. Dans de nombreux systèmes agroforestiers, la bande située sur la ligne des arbres est un espace négligé et sous-utilisé, ce qui peut créer des problèmes de lutte contre les mauvaises herbes. Plutôt que d'être considéré comme un espace gaspillé, cette bande offre des opportunités pour introduire de nouvelles cultures, augmentant ainsi la production et diversifiant la gamme de produits commercialisables de la ferme.
