title: Life History of the Utah Sculpin Cottus bairdi semiscaber (Cope) in Logan River, Utah
Creators: name: Zarbook, William M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1951

description: The study of the Utah sculpin in Logan River was based on 801 specimens collected during 1949 to March 1951. Numbers of fish examined for various catagories of the study wares length-frequency, 495; aging by vertebrae, 407; length-weight relationship, 601; and food habits, 275.
Fish were collected by use of an electric shocking machine generating 600 watts and 220 volts. Numbers of fish occurred as high as 150 per tenth mile of stream. Preferred habitats occurred in areas of coarse gravel and small rocks.
Vertebrae dissected from the fish were used in age determination. Length-frequency proved to be a general correlation to the aging technique. Fish were difficult to sex by external observation except during the breeding season.
Relationship between standard length and weight is described by the following formula:
W = 4.236 X 10-4 L2•900
The coefficient of condition (K) increased with length up to 60 millimeters in standard length and decreased in length in fish ranging from 60 to 125 millimeters in standard length. The greatest variation in K occurred in fish below 50 millimeters in length. The factor for converting total length to standard length as determined from 601 specimens between 24 and 112 millimeters. standard length was 0.812. The factor for converting standard length to total length for the same fish was 1.232.
The bulk of the diet consisted almost entirely of aquatic insects. Most of the aquatic insects were diptera. Ephemeroptera, plecoptera, and trichoptera were consumed in almost equal numbers. Food availability and preference were determined from bottom samples of the river. Competition for food is minimized somewhat by the fact that the sculpin is a bottom feeder and the trout is primarily a surface feeder. Predation of trout eggs by the sculpin was almost non-existent.

description: In this work we study the meson vertex $D_sDK^*$ using the QCD sum rules. We compute the three point correlation functions for the three cases of different off-shell mesons. The form factors for each case are fitted to the numerical calculation of the correlation functions and the coupling constant of the vertex is obtained by comparing the form factors at their respective off-shell meson pole. The result obtained for the coupling constant is $g_{D_sDK^*} = 2.29^{+0.65}_{-0.41}$.

description: All the observations available in the Chandra and XMM-Newton archives have been used to investigate the X-ray spectral properties of 3C 33. In this paper is presented a complete X-ray analysis of the nuclear emission of this narrow line radio galaxy. The broad band spectrum of 3C 33 is complex. The hard part resembles that of Seyfert 2 galaxies, with a heavily obscured nuclear continuum (N_H~10^23 cm^-2) and a prominent Fe Kalpha line. This represents the nuclear radiation directly observed in transmission through a cold circumnuclear gas. On the other hand an unabsorbed continuum plus emission lines seem to fit well the soft part of the spectrum (0.5-2 keV) suggesting that the jet does not significantly contribute to the X-ray emission. We discuss the possible collisional or photoionized origin of the gas that emits the soft X-ray lines. Our results, strengthened by optical spectroscopy favor the photoionization scenario.

Nucleic acid metabolism in uninfected and becteriophage OW-14 infected Pseudomonas acidovorans
Creators: name: Kelln, Rodney Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Pseudomonas acidovorans was shown to be deficient in a number of enzymes of the salvage pathways of nucleic acid metabolism. These included uridine phosphorylase, purine nucleoside phosphorylase, cytidine (deoxycytidine) deaminase, and thymidine phosphorylase. The absence of uridine kinase and deoxycytidine kinase was also indicated. Pyrimidine requiring mutants were isolated and pyrimidine substitution patterns were examined in these auxotrophs. Concentrations of uracil of 50 µg/ml and greater had the unusual effect of inhibiting the growth of these strains, whereas no effect occurred with the wild-type. An inhibitory effect on the wild-type did result, however, when deoxyadenosine or adenosine was added at critical concentrations. Obligate thymidine auxotrophs were isolated using an adaptation of the aminopterin technique. These strains required very high concentrations of thymidine (250 to 1000 µg/ml) for growth. No change in the amount of aspartate transcarbamylase activity occurred during growth in the presence or absence of added uracil. No inhibition of aspartate transcarbamylase activity was evident in the presence of various nucleotides. Infection of cells by bacteriophage 0W-14 resulted in the apparent synthesis of a phage encoded thymidylate synthetase. In addition, an activity corresponding to deoxyuridyl ate hydroxymethylase was indicated. Thymidine was not a precursor for 5(4-aminobutylaminomethyl) uracil but the base was efficiently labelled by radioactive uracil or deoxyuridine. Pool studies indicated that the biosynthesis of the base occurred at the nucleotide level rather than the macromolecular level.

description: Many unified models predict two large neutrino mixing angles, with the charged lepton mixing angles being small and quark-like, and the neutrino masses being hierarchical. Assuming this, we present simple approximate analytic formulae giving the lepton mixing angles in terms of the underlying high energy neutrino mixing angles together with small perturbations due to both charged lepton corrections and renormalisation group (RG) effects, including also the effects of third family canonical normalization (CN). We apply the perturbative formulae to the ubiquitous case of tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing at the unification scale, in order to predict the theoretical corrections to mixing angle predictions and sum rule relations, and give a general discussion of all limiting cases.

Determination of the native floral virome in Mt Wellington Park
Creators: name: Wilson, JR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: In an ever‚ÄövÑv™increasing population, plant virology is a field of growing importance. Understanding key factors such as virus flow, the transmission properties of native viruses, potential to spread and the severity of disease caused is crucial for both the conservation of our native habitats, but also increasing agricultural production in a sustainable fashion. In order to gain a better understanding of the potential impact that native floral viruses may have on agricultural crops, we first must identify and characterize the native species present. To this date, there is very little published literature surrounding the virome of plant species that are neither ornamental nor used for agricultural purposes. This represents a large knowledge gap as human activity continues to drive virus emergence in both the natural and managed environments. A total of 34 samples with putative viral infections were taken from two walking trails in Wellington Park, the Pipeline trail and the Lenah Valley track. Of these, 18 samples of varying species underwent RNA extraction and next generation sequencing. Bioinformatic software including Geneious Prime, Genome Detective and Virusdetect were used to analyse the reads received from sequencing, with varying success. Using the data gained from the sequence analysis, select samples underwent electron microscopy and PCR to confirm the presence of the virus species detected by the next generation sequencing. Some samples were also used to inoculate test subjects to assess the transmission properties of the viruses causing symptomatic infection within the samples obtained from Wellington Park. The sequencing data revealed the potential presence of four viral species. This included Citrus exocortis Yucatan viroid isolate 15, Pepper cryptic virus 1 (PCV‚ÄövÑv™1), White clover mosaic virus (WCMV) and Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Of these viruses, the most significant findings were WCMV and TMV, due to both of these species having the potential to reduce fitness in native and agricultural species alike. The presence of TMV was first located in sample 14, Bedfordia salicina but PCR revealed its presence in sample 7, another sample of Bedfordia salicina from a different location. Using these results, it can be ascertained that B. salicina is susceptible to TMV infection, and it is present within the native virome of the park. WCMV was detected in both unknown species sample 4, and sample 5 (P. apetala). However, no Potexvirus primers were able to be obtained, so no further analysis could occur. In summary, the native environment holds host to many viral species, and as the agro‚ÄövÑv™ecological interface continues to be manipulated by the human race, virus emergence will continue. The presence of at least one pathogenic viral species in a small sample size is cause for concern, and highlights the need for further research in the area.
title: A Study of the Radiation Quality under Plant Canopies In the Wave Range 0.4 to 2.5 Microns
Creators: name: Baldazo, Nolasco G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: The spectral distribution of the global radiation from 0.4 to 2.5 microns penetrating deciduous and coniferous canopies were measured during clear days between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. using a double-quartz monochromator.
In the visible region (0.4 to 0.7 micron) the average relative spectral transmissions under both canopies are about one percent beginning at 0.4 micron and decreasing to about half a percent at 0.67 micron. There is only a small peak in the green (0.55 micron) transmission under deciduous stands while there is none under coniferous canopies. The slightly higher transmission in the blue (0.4 micron) is attributed to the direct sky radiation penetrating through the gaps in the canopies. There is a steep increase in the transmission at about 0.7 micron. The increase is relatively higher under deciduous stands compared to coniferous stands.
In the infrared region from 0.8 to about 1.4 microns, the average relative spectral transmission under deciduous stands is about 10 percent which is double the transmission under coniferous canopies. The transmission under deciduous stands is about twice that of the coniferous stands throughout the near infrared with very low transmission in the water absorption band at 1.45 and practically no transmission at all in the 1.90 micron-band.
The absolute spectral transmission exhibit a somewhat different distribution, especially in the visible region. Since the highest intensity of the solar spectrum in the open is located in the 0.5 micron-band, this is also reflected in the absolute values. The small peak in the green under deciduous stands is now indicated as a slight shift of the peak to the 0.55 micron-band. The water absorption bands at the 0.95 and 1.15 microns are also distinct, with hardly no transmission at all beyond 1.7 microns.
The spectral transmittance of forest canopies differ from those reported for single leaves in the proportion of radiation transmitted in the visible and infrared regions. For example, the ratio of the transmission at 0.55 micron to that at 1.10 micron-band is about one to twelve compared to about one to five in single leaves.
A deciduous canopy consisting of several layers of leaves wi ll only allow a very small amount of transmission, mostly in the green portion and somewhat more in the infrared region between 0.72 and 1.40 microns. Under natural conditions in the forest, there exists a very weak "green" shadow and a somewhat stronger "infrared" shadow. The altered spectral composition may influence the understory vegetation as regards photosynthesis, seed germination, and the photoperiodic responses in the forest floor.

title: The Relations hip of Climatic Factors to Grazing Activities of Cows on Winter and Spring Ranges
Creators: name: Smith, Benton M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of climatic variations upon the daily activities of grazing cattle. The activities of individual cows on a partially seeded salt desert shrub range were observed and recorded during three grazing periods. Two of the periods were during consecutive winters and the other during the spring. Climatic variations during the second winter period were quantified and compared to changes in the daily activity patterns of the cattle.
Distinctly different daily routines of cattle activities were evident for the winter and spring seasons. In the spring, the cattle grazed, traveled, and drank more each day than they did during the winter months. The increase in these activities was attributed to the more temperate climatic conditions and the higher energy demands of lactation.
Air temperature, changes in barometric pressure, windspeed, precipitation, snow depth, and radiation all influenced cattle activities in the winter. Decreasing air temperature and rapid fluctuations in barometric pressure both correlated significantly with increased grazing time. Increasing windspeed and greater snow depth caused the cattle to travel less distance daily. The cattle ceased grazing during snowstorms. They oriented themselves at right angles to the sun while standing and lying. The modifications which occurred in daily activity patterns were shown to be apparently directed toward the conservation of energy during periods of climatic stress.

description: This work presents the design of BUSARD, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for the detection of ionizing particles. The ASIC is a monolithic active pixel sensor which has been fabricated in a High-Voltage Silicon-On-Insulator (HV-SOI) process that allows the fabrication of a buried N+ diffusion below the Buried OXide (BOX) as a standard processing step. The first version of the chip, BUSARD-A, takes advantage of this buried diffusion as an ionizing particle sensor. It includes a small array of 13$\times$13 pixels, with a pitch of $80\,μ$m, and each pixel has one buried diffusion with a charge amplifier, discriminator with offset tuning and digital processing. The detector has several operation modes including particle counting and Time-over-Threshold (ToT). An initial X-ray characterization of the detector was carried out, obtaining several pulse height and ToT spectra, which then were used to perform the energy calibration of the device. The Molybdenum $\mathbf{K_α}$ emission was measured with a standard deviation of $127\,e^{-}$ of ENC by using the analog pulse output, and with $276\,e^{-}$ of ENC by using the ToT digital output. The resolution in ToT mode is dominated by the pixel-to-pixel variation.

description: Most cost-benefit analyses assume that the estimates of costs and benefits are more or less accurate and unbiased. But what if, in reality, estimates are highly inaccurate and biased? Then the assumption that cost-benefit analysis is a rational way to improve resource allocation would be a fallacy. Based on the largest dataset of its kind, we test the assumption that cost and benefit estimates of public investments are accurate and unbiased. We find this is not the case with overwhelming statistical significance. We document the extent of cost overruns, benefit shortfalls, and forecasting bias in public investments. We further assess whether such inaccuracies seriously distort effective resource allocation, which is found to be the case. We explain our findings in behavioral terms and explore their policy implications. Finally, we conclude that cost-benefit analysis of public investments stands in need of reform and we outline four steps to such reform.

description: Young massive stars in the center of crowded star clusters are expected to undergo close dynamical encounters that could lead to energetic, explosive events. However, there has so far never been clear observational evidence of such a remarkable phenomenon. We here report new interferometric observations made with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) that indicate the well known enigmatic wide-angle outflow located in the Orion BN/KL star-forming region to have been produced by such a violent explosion during the disruption of a massive young stellar system, and that this was caused by a close dynamical interaction about 500 years ago. This outflow thus belongs to a totally different family of molecular flows which is not related to the classical bipolar flows that are generated by stars during their formation process. Our molecular data allow us to create a 3D view of the debris flow and to link this directly to the well known Orion H$_2$ "fingers" farther out

Personality constructs affiliated with loot box engagement
Creators: name: Waugh, CG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The growth of the gaming industry has seen an increase of predatory monetisation techniques, like loot boxes: a digital container that generates random rewards of subjective value. Loot boxes have been described as a converging point between problematic gambling and excessive gaming, as it shares structural and psychological similarities with conventional forms of gambling and exists mostly unregulated in online gaming. Understanding who engages with these mechanics may help in regulation and prevention for vulnerable groups. We looked at personality research in problem gambling and excessive gaming to formulate an idea of what we might see in loot box engagement. We firstly hypothesised high neuroticism and low conscientiousness would positively correlate with loot box engagement, and then hypothesised if loot box engagement was more like problem gambling, we would see lower agreeableness, or if it was more like excessive gaming, we would observe lower extraversion and openness. 153 participants were recruited to one of three conditions in our custom version of Candy Crush. We measured engagement with in-game purchases, personality and levels of gambling and gaming. We found no evidence to support our hypotheses but did find moderate evidence to support a relationship between loot box engagement and excessive gaming.

description: Five groups of 400 hatchery rainbow trout, (Salmo gairdneri), were stocked in a small, mountain stream at )-week intervals from June to September, 1972. A fish trap captured any fish moving out of a 500 m study section.
Fish began moving at high levels during the first day of each stocking and continued at high rates for 5-8 days (Early Phase), after which movement decreased to low levels for 6-9 days (Late Phase). Early Phase fish moved primarily at night, possibly due to their disoriented state and high subjectivity to stream conditions. Fish moving during Late Phase did so mainly during daylight, probably in response to diurnal periodicity of a day-active food organism in the drift.
Forced movement due to social behavior did not seem to be an influencing factor, but the duration of visible light seemed important to moving fish.
title: Field Measurements of Photosynthesis and Leaf Growth Rates of Three Alpine Plant Species
Creators: name: Johnson, Douglas A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: Leaf photosynthetic measurements using a portable 14Co2 field system were carried out and correlative leaf relative growth rates, RGR, were determined at different leaf positions of three alpine plant species throughout the growing season. Initially there was a period of high leaf RGR associated with a period of increasing photosynthetic activity. Following this stage was a long period of no net change in length of the living leaf. During this period, photosynthetic activity generally increased to a maximum level and then decreased steadily. The final ontogenetic stage was a period of negative leaf RGR denoting leaf senescence which was associated with a marked decline in leaf Co2 uptake. Ontogenetic timing of these alpine species is geared with the surge and decline of individual leaf photosynthetic activity so that one to several leaves operating at near maximal photosynthetic capacity are always maintained during the growing season for each plant. These findings are discussed in relation to their adaptive significance for these species.
Global Gas Model Model and Data Documentation v3.0 (2019)

Year: 2019

description: This report is part of the data documentation for the Global Gas Model (GGM) as prepared for

analyses in the H2020 SET-Nav project1 and subsequent studies. Since some data are proprietary we

cannot make available all input data we have used. By describing input data, the processing steps,

and the resulting input files we aim for maximum transparency and to allow anyone to reproduce the

data sets from scratch if desired.

GGM was developed by Egging (2010, 2013), also based on expertise gained in the development and

application of the European Gas Model (Egging et al., 2008) and the World Gas Model (Egging et al.,

2010, 2009). GGM was applied with various data sets and versions in studies of the future global

(Holz et al., 2015) and European gas markets (Holz et al., 2016, 2017). In addition to the impact of

climate policy, supply security has been a recurring concern (e.g. Richter and Holz, 2015). Moreover,

a stochastic version that used a scenario tree was applied in Egging and Holz (2016). In the SET-Nav

project, GGM contributed to the analyses of projects of common interest (PCI), their profitability and

public support requirements (Kotek et al., 2018). This is a deterministic model version (i.e. no

probabilistic scenario tree).
Structural relaxation and rheological response of a driven amorphous system
Creators: name: Varnik, Fathollah
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The interplay between the structural relaxation and the rheological response of a binary LJ glass former is studied via MD simulations. In the quiescent state, the model is well known for its sluggish dynamics and a two step relaxation of correlation functions at low temperatures. An ideal glass transition temperature of $T_c = 0.435$ has been identified in the previous studies via the analysis of the system's dynamics in the frame work of the mode coupling theory of the glass transition [W. Kob and H.C. Andersen, PRE 51, 4626 (1995)]. Here, we test wether a signature of this ideal glass transition can also be found under shear. Indeed, the following distinction in the structural relaxation is found: In the supercooled state, the structural relaxation is dominated by the shear at relatively high shear rates, $\dotγ$, whereas at sufficiently low $\dotγ$ the (shear-independent) equilibrium relaxation is recovered. In contrast to this, the structural relaxation of a \emph{glass} is always driven by shear. This distinct behavior of the correlation functions is also reflected in the rheological response. In the supercooled state, the shear viscosity, $η$, decreases with increasing shear rate (shear thinning) at high shear rates, but then converges toward a constant as the $\dotγ$ is decreased below a (temperature-dependent) threshold value. Below $T_c$, on the other hand, the shear viscosity grows as $η\propto 1/\dotγ$ suggesting a divergence at $\dotγ =0$. Thus, within the accessible observation time window, a transition toward a non-ergodic state seems to occur in the driven glass as the driving force approaches zero.

description: We investigate the star formation-AGN connection in the Seyfert 1 NGC 7469 using James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) mid-infrared spectroscopic integral field unit (IFU) data. We use the IFU data to generate maps of different emission lines present in the spectrum, such as the star formation (SF) tracer [Ne II] 12.81μm, and the AGN tracer [Ne V] 14.32μm. We can separate the AGN- and SF-dominated regions using spatially resolved mid-infrared diagnostic diagrams, and further investigate the ionization sources powering each region by constructing photoionization models. We find that the previously detected eastern wind populates an intermediary region of the diagrams, between our star-forming and AGN points. Although it is possible that the star-forming ring may inherently not be uniform, this wind also coincides with a reduction in the [Ne II] emission in the ring, which suggests that the ionization cone intersects the ring in this direction.

What role does tillage erosion play regarding landscape evolution of an intensively used hummocky landscape?

Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2020

description: Hummocky landscapes under intensive arable use are substantially affected by erosion processes. Data from the Quillow catchment (size: 196 km2; mean annual precipitation: 500 mm) in North-East Germany are used to estimate landscape-scale water and tillage erosion with the model SPEROS-C. Recent results show that tillage erosion causes substantial soil redistribution that can distinctively exceed water erosion. In consequence, truncated soil profiles can be found on hilltops and steep slopes, whereas colluvial material is accumulated in depressions and along downslope field boarders. The resulting spatial variability of soil types with different properties and conditions is known to influence crop growth and leads to a highly variable biomass pattern in hummocky landscapes under highly mechanised arable cultivation.

The main goal of our study is to link tillage-induced erosion rates to landscape development at centennial time scales. By modelling the development of the hummocky moraine landscape of North-Eastern Germany, we explain the spatial distribution of the current soil erosion state. Furthermore, the soil erosion induced impact on crop biomass patterns and the redistribution of soil organic carbon since the beginning of human land use in this area is assessed. To address this goal, a new model component is implemented into SPEROS-C that iteratively rejuvenates topography backwards in time considering modelled erosion and deposition rates. Afterwards, modelling forward in time allows estimating carbon fluxes due to soil redistribution. Furthermore, the extent and location of truncated soils will be validated with historic aerial photographs at different time steps.

The benefits of implementing landscape development into SPEROS-C are that (i) an annual update of topography generates a more realistic soil erosion pattern, (ii) the current crop biomass pattern may be explained by erosion history, and (iii) estimates about the future development of crop yield patterns considering ongoing tillage practices can be drawn from a validated soil erosion and landscape development model.

description: Effects of exercise and the relative condition of exercised fish were viii evaluated for two strains of rainbow trout. Circular tanks fitted with a paddle were used to continuously exercise the fish and a stamina tunnel was used to evaluate the condition of exercised trout. Trout were exercised continuously at one fish-length per second and one-half fish length per second. Serum LDH activity in Shephard-of-the-Hills (Missouri) rainbow trout acclimated to 10 C increased two fold during the first four days of exercise. Serum LDH activity returned to control levels by the tenth day of exercise. Serum LDH activity in Shephard-of-the-Hills rainbow trout exercised at one-half length per second did not increase significantly. Serum LDH activity in Fish Lake stock acclimated to 17 C did not increase significantly. Shephard-of-the-Hills and Fish Lake rainbow trout exercised at one length per second were better conditioned to water velocities of two lengths per second than were controls.
Analysis of geomagnetic variations in western British Columbia

description: Geomagnetic variation anomalies in the western structural province of the Canadian Cordillera are examined. Data were collected at five temporary geomagnetic observatories and analysed using single Station transfer functions, induction ellipses, and I-ratios. These data and the single station transfer functions from Cochrane and Hyndman (1970) and Dragert (1973) were interpreted. Geological and geophysical evidence suggest a different tectonic history for the northern and southern parts of British Columbia. The geomagnetic variations provide further evidence for this difference. Analog and numerical model studies indicate that several major features are causing the geomagnetic variations in the region. First there is a strong coast effect caused by the ocean-land conductivity contrast. The model studies show that an explanation of the observed coast effect requires a zone of high conductivity close to the surface and lying beneath both the ocean and the land. Second there is a strong correlation between the magnitude and direction of the inland induction arrows and the general structural trend. It is concluded that these inland induction arrows are caused by induced currents flowing along the structural province boundaries, possibly at the Mohorovicic discontinuity which has considerable variation in depth from province to province. Third, the offset of the induction arrows from a simple orientation perpendicular to the general structure suggests the presence of three east-west conductors. The major one is the Souther (1970) volcanic zone through the central region analysed. The other two are the edge of the North American craton south of Cache Creek and a proposed crustal discontinuity north, of the Prince Rupert - Prince George profile. This interpretation is consistent with the known geological and geophysical information regarding the tectonic history of British Columbia.

description: Multistability, i.e. the coexistence of several attractors for a given set of system parameters is one of the most important phenomena occurring in dynamical systems. We consider it in velocity dynamics of a Brownian particle driven by thermal fluctuations and moving in a biased periodic potential. In doing so we focus on the impact of ergodicity - a concept which lies at the core of statistical mechanics. The latter implies that a single trajectory of the system is representative for the whole ensemble and as a consequence the initial conditions of the dynamics are fully forgotten. The ergodicity of the deterministic counterpart is strongly broken and we discuss how the velocity multistability depends on the starting position and velocity of the particle. While for non-zero temperature the ergodicity is in principle restored, in the low temperature regime the velocity dynamics is still affected by initial conditions due to weak ergodicity breaking. For moderate and high temperature the multistability is robust with respect to the choice of the starting position and velocity of the particle.

description: We prove the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for klt Calabi-Yau pairs in dimension 2. That is, for a large class of rational surfaces as well as K3 surfaces and abelian surfaces, the action of the automorphism group of the surface on the convex cone of ample divisors has a rational polyhedral fundamental domain. More concretely: there many be infinitely many curves with negative self-intersection on the surface, but all such curves fall into finitely many orbits under the automorphism group of the surface. The proof uses the geometry of groups acting on hyperbolic space. We deduce a characterization of the surfaces in this class with finitely generated Cox ring.

description: We carried out an international spectroscopic observation campaign of the dwarf nova GW Librae (GW Lib) during the 2007 superoutburst. Our observation period covered the rising phase of the superoutburst, maximum, slowly decaying phase (plateau), and long fading tail after the rapid decline from the plateau. The spectral features dramatically changed during the observations. In the rising phase, only absorption lines of H$α$, H$β$, and H$γ$ were present. Around the maximum, the spectrum showed singly-peaked emission lines of H$α$, He I 5876, He I 6678, He II 4686, and C III/N III as well as absorption lines of Balmer components and He I. These emission lines significantly weakened in the latter part of the plateau phase. In the fading tail, all the Balmer lines and He I 6678 were in emission, as observed in quiescence. We find that the center of the H$α$ emission component was mostly stable over the whole orbital phase, being consistent with the low inclination of the system. Comparing with the observational results of WZ Sge during the 2001 superoutburst, the same type of stars as GW Lib seen with a high inclination angle, we interpret that the change of the H$α$ profile before the fading tail phase is attributed to a photoionized region formed at the outer edge of the accretion disk, irradiated from the white dwarf and inner disk.

description: The historical and contemporary development of certain informal and formal articulations of Muslim social and political identities and forms of association in Muslim-majority and Arab societies has facilitated the emergence of a public sphere and limited the coercive power of state authority. This article suggests how a greater focus on religious ideas and forms of association can enhance the concept of the public sphere so that it better accounts for developments in these societies and in European societies themselves.
Graphene on Gallium Arsenide: Engineering the visibility

description: Graphene consists of single or few layers of crystalline ordered carbon atoms. Its visibility on oxidized silicon (Si/SiO\_2) enabled its discovery and spawned numerous studies of its unique electronic properties. The combination of graphene with the equally unique electronic material gallium arsenide (GaAs) has up to now lacked such easy visibility. Here we demonstrate that a deliberately tailored GaAs/AlAs (aluminum arsenide) multi-layer structure makes graphene just as visible on GaAs as on Si/SiO\_2. We show that standard microscope images of exfoliated graphite on GaAs/AlAs suffice to identify mono-, bi-, and multi-layers of graphene. Raman data confirm our results.

title: Bromegrass Productivity in Relation to Precipitation, Shrub Canopy Cover and Soil Nitrogen Content
Creators: name: Kline, Lawrence G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: In seasons of above normal precipitation, populations of annual weedy species increase in great abundance in semi-arid desert plant communities. These increases in biomass tie up a considerable portion of the available nitrogen of such ecosystems and may depress subsequent annual grass germination.
A big sagebrush-annual bromegrass plant community was irrigated to simulate a spring growth period of abundant precipitation amenable to annual bromegras s productivity. Productivity and nitrogen content parameters were monitored throughout the spring and summer to evaluate the short and potential long term effects of this seasonal increase in "precipitation".
Irrigation increased annual bromegrass productivity almost 50 percent. This increase was a result of the combined factors of increased soil moisture content and increased nitrogen availability due, apparently, to increased soil microfloral nitrification activity under low water water stress conditions.
The increased annual growth resulted in a greater nitrogen uptake despite an observed decrease in irrigated bromegrass percent nitrogen values. Both the tie up and irrigation effect were maintained throughout the summer and into the subsequent annual germination period. However, total soil nitrogen levels and bromegrass nitrogen mineralization rates suggest that soil nutrient conditions for subsequently germinating bromegrass seedlings do not differ because of previous spring irrigation treatment.

description: We have derived nebular abundances for 10 dwarf galaxies belonging to the M81 Group, including several galaxies which do not have abundances previously reported in the literature. For each galaxy, multiple H \ii regions were observed with GMOS-N at the Gemini Observatory in order to determine abundances of several elements (oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, neon, and argon). For seven galaxies, at least one H \ii region had a detection of the temperature sensitive [OIII] $λ$4363 line, allowing a "direct" determination of the oxygen abundance. No abundance gradients were detected in the targeted galaxies and the observed oxygen abundances are typically in agreement with the well known metallicity-luminosity relation. However, three candidate "tidal dwarf" galaxies lie well off this relation, UGC 5336, Garland, and KDG 61. The nature of these systems suggests that UGC 5336 and Garland are indeed recently formed systems, whereas KDG 61 is most likely a dwarf spheroidal galaxy which lies along the same line of sight as the M81 tidal debris field. We propose that these H \ii regions formed from previously enriched gas which was stripped from nearby massive galaxies (e.g., NGC 3077 and M81) during a recent tidal interaction.
