Abstract:

AbstractSince the establishment of the Hipparcos Catalog as the defining source of the optical reference frame, densification beyond its ≈ 120,000 stars has been made possible by the utilization of the Tycho-1 Catalog. The ACT, combining the old Astrographic Catalog (AC) data with the Tycho-1 positions, is the best known example of this. The Tycho-2 consortium, led by E. Høg, has performed new reductions on the Tycho data. This not only has increased the astrometric and photometric accuracies of the original 1 million Tycho-1 stars, but also has added an additional 1.5 million stars. The U.S. Naval Observatory led the effort to compute the proper motions of these 2.5 million stars. They are based not only on the AC data but also include over 140 other ground-based catalogs, all directly reduced to the Hipparcos system. The result of these efforts is the Tycho-2 Catalog, available since February 2000. Positions, proper motions, and BT and VT magnitudes are given for 2.5 million stars. The catalog is 99% complete to V=11.0, and 90% complete to V=11.5. Positional accuracies at the mean epochs vary from < 10 mas for stars V < 9 to just under 100 mas for V > 12. Proper motion accuracies are estimated to be 1.3 mas/year to 3.0 mas/year for the same magnitude ranges. Photometric accuracies range from 0.02 magnitudes for the brightest stars to 0.25 magnitudes for the faintest.

Abstract:

AbstractThe TOCAMM (TOrino CAgliari Measuring Machine) project undertaken jointly between Torino and Cagliari Astronomical Observatories aimed to convert the old measuring machine ASCORECORD into an automatic and impersonal one. This program is intended to contribute to the link of the HIPPARCOS Catalogue to the ICRS through the determination of precise position of optical counterparts of 80 extragalactic radiosources taken from the IERS list and to investigate the astrometric accuracy of the Guide Star Catalog (version 1 and 2). The calibration test phase, carried out first at the Astronomical Observatory of Torino and after at Cagliari Observatory, where the machine has been now installed, indicate that the available positional accuracy is about 0.5 microns in both x and y coordinates.

Abstract:

Continues magnetic measurements at the IKIR FEB RAS obser-vatories Magadan (MGD), Paratunka (PET), Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (YSS), Cape Schmidt (CPS) and Khabarovsk (KHB) and CSIR-NGRI observatories Hyder-abad (HYB) and Choutuppal (CPL) have been started almost since their formation. A significant part of the results obtained is presented in the WDC and INTERMAGNET databases. However, a large amount of raw data remains un-processed and unavailable for using by scientific community. In the past few years, institutes has been making efforts to process and reprocess old magnetic data. Digital images of analog magnetograms of the Observatory Paratunka since 1967 were obtained and the possibility of their use for calculation hourly and minute values of magnetic field elements was evaluated. Old digital data that was available during the conversion from analog to digital magnetometers is processed. The main problem of processing or re-processing archived data is the lack of information (metadata) about the measurement conditions. First of all, these are the results of absolute observations, which are necessary to obtain the values of the elements of the total field vector. In this paper, some technologies are proposed that allow to use the data obtained during processing of analog magnetograms to adjust the digital magnetometers records. A signif-icant problem is the lack or inaccuracy of information about the temperature conditions in the variation pavilion, about magnetometers or support equipment maintenance or about works in and near the pavilions. As we accumulate the experience during the processing of old magnetic data, a “catalog” of noise and its typical images is formed. This makes it more reliable and efficient to identify and remove this noise from records.

Abstract:

Context. In Gaia DR2, an unprecedented high level of precision has been reached at sub-milliarcsecond for astrometry and millimagnitudes for photometry. Using cluster members identified with the astrometry and photometry in Gaia DR2, we can obtain a reliable determination of cluster properties. However, because of the shortcomings of Gaia spectroscopic observations in dealing with densely crowded cluster regions, the RVs and metallicity values for cluster member stars from Gaia DR2 are still lacking. It is necessary to combine the Gaia data with the data from large spectroscopic surveys, such as LAMOST, APOGEE, GALAH, and Gaia-ESO. Aims. In this study our aim is to improve the cluster properties by combining the LAMOST spectra. In particular, we provide the list of cluster members with spectroscopic parameters as an add-value catalog in LAMOST DR5, which can be used to perform a detailed study for a better understanding of the stellar properties, by using their spectra and fundamental properties from the host cluster. Methods. We cross-matched the spectroscopic catalog in LAMOST DR5 with the identified cluster members in Cantat-Gaudin et al. (2018, A&A, 618, A93). We then used members with spectroscopic parameters to derive statistical properties of open clusters. Results. We obtained a list of 8811 members with spectroscopic parameters and a catalog of 295 cluster properties. The provided cluster properties include astrometric parameters, spectroscopic parameters, derived kinematic and orbital parameters, and isochrone fitting results. In addition, we study the radial and vertical metallicity gradient and age-metallicity relation with the compiled open clusters as tracers, finding slopes of −0.053 ± 0.004 dex kpc−1, −0.252 ± 0.039 dex kpc−1, and 0.022 ± 0.008 dex Gyr−1, respectively. The slopes of the metallicity distribution relation for young clusters (0.1 Gyr < Age < 2 Gyr) and the age-metallicity relation for clusters within 6 Gyr are both consistent with the literature results. In order to fully study the chemical evolution history in the disk, more spectroscopic observations for old and distant open clusters are needed for further investigation.

Abstract:

AbstractRR Lyrae variables are powerful tools to study their host stellar populations. Globular clusters and dwarf galaxies are old and usually host this type of variables. With a growing number of low luminosity objects discovered in the halo of the Milky Way, classifying stars clusters and galaxies has become more challenging. In this study, we examine the properties of RR Lyrae stars in globular clusters and dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. We construct a catalog of RR Lyrae variables in the Local Group globular clusters and dwarf galaxies from previously published data and compare the properties of RR Lyrae variables between those two types of stellar systems. Our goal is to search for a physical difference in the properties of RR Lyrae variables in those two classes of stellar systems. We also analyze the global trend of RRLs in these systems to understand more about their formation and evolution history.

Abstract. Series of major earthquakes struck the Sundaland plate as a result of convergence with neighboring plates such as Indian, Australian and Philippine plates. Since then, the Sundaland is experiencing significant crustal deformation that implicate reactivation of local fault and embark question on the status of geohazard and seismic risk. In Malaysia, crustal deformation study by using Global Positioning System (GPS) has been conducted for many years. However, the information of crustal deformation was reported separately and difficult to be archived. In addition, continuous estimation of crustal deformation derived from GPS has to be carried out in order to provide present day seismic status. This study aims at generating a seismic catalog map in Malaysia derived from approximately nine (9) years of GPS data. In this study, derived long-term crustal deformation in the form of coordinate time series (CTS) were converted into yearly strain map. The changes of strain with respect to location of old and active fault line in Malaysia were properly analysed. From the result, the highest changes of strain rate for Peninsular Malaysia happened in 2004 until 2005 and 2012 until 2013 prior to 2004 Acheh earthquake event with the moment magnitude (Mw) and 2012 two strike-slip events in Northern Sumatera with the magnitude of 8.2Mw and 8.6Mw. In North Borneo region, the most significant changes of strain rate happened from 2007 to 2009 and 2011 to 2013. It can be expected that the results will be beneficial in augmenting geohazard mitigation in Malaysia.

Abstract:

The Mazon Creek region in Northeastern Illinois is home to a Middle Pennsylvanian (~307 million years old) soft-bodied fossil Lagerstätte of animals and plants that lived along a subtropical swampy coastline. This area was strip mined for coal from 1928 to 1974 and museum geologists and amateur collectors acquired large fossil collections during this time by collecting and splitting millions of nodules unearthed at the mines. These large collections are important because of the rarity of many of the species in the Mazon Creek biota. There are about 250 described fossil invertebrate species from the Mazon Creek region. Fifty-one of these species (mostly insects and arachnids) are represented by just a single specimen in the Field Museum’s collection. Since the 1980’s collecting has decreased and the mines have been restored to parks and wildlife areas. The Field Museum maintained a collection of 34,000 Mazon Creek invertebrate fossil for many decades. With the new donations from private collectors in the last three years this collection has grown by 20% and now represents 18% of the Fossil Invertebrate systematic collection. The Mazon Creek is also the most used fossil invertebrate collection accounting for about 38% of loans in the last five years. Dealing with these large and often unexpected donations adds to the already large workload of the collection staff, so interns and volunteers are utilized to process, catalog, digitize, and integrate these fossils into the museum’s collection. In the summer of 2016, interns Mackenzie Best and Yaal Dryer unpacked and sorted into drawers the Thomas V. Testa collection, and digitized the first 1,000 fossils. In 2017, two Women in Science interns, Kate Hodge and Dana Kahn, spent 6 weeks entering the data for 5,000 fossils into our database, numbering these fossils, and printing their labels. Having a well curated collection, as well as volunteer Jack Wittry, who has expert knowledge of Mazon Creek fossils, has also been crucial to the success of these projects. Mane Pritza, a Field Museum volunteer, began photographing these collections and has captured over 11,000 images. Janel Nelson, a former volunteer, has uploaded these images into our multimedia database and linked them to the corresponding records in the catalog module. James and Sylvia Konecny donated their 4,000-specimen Mazon Creek collection in December of 2017, ensuring that interns and volunteers will continue their curation work for at least the next two years.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to identify the “author’s prints” of Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov in the novels “Dvenadtsat’ stul’ev” (“The twelve chairs”) and “Zolotoy telenok” (“Golden calf”) through highlighting the both writers’ contribution to the fusion of inspiration and jokes. A detailed comparison of Petrov’s “pre-Ilf” and Ilf’s “pre-Petrov” works with their co-written texts demonstrates that the co-authors definitely used accumulated literary material in creating the novels: the “common cauldron” contained their previous plots and images. The article is based on a textual analysis of Ilf’s and Petrov’s stories and feuilletons published in the Moscow press before they started writing together, as well as the texts written in the process of creating the dilogy. In previous research on the Ilf and Petrov’s work, the links between their early texts and the co-written dilogy were either unsystematically presented, or tried to track the path of the “literary evolution” of Ilf and Pertov, who had been gradually honing their idiostyle and writing technique. It was often done without following rigid structure and not representing proper arguments. The article offers a classification of identified borrowings and references from Ilf and Petrov’s early texts. It contains systematized examples of various types and scales – from a single detail to a large fragment of the narrative. The catalog of “auto-references” confirms the regular character of borrowings: during the creation of “Dvenadtsat’ stul’ev” (“The twelve chairs”) and “Zolotoy telenok” (“Golden calf”), coauthors often used “previously formulated” phrase and motifs from works, which had been written separately. However, passages from feuilletons, as a rule, were transferred by writers to new novels not mechanically: in the novels “old” images were selected and developed by both authors.

Abstract:

The paper of Eggen, Lynden-Bell and Sandage (1962)(hereafter ELS) titled “Evidence from the motion of old stars that the Galaxy collapsed” was the first attempt to understand the formation and evolution of our Galaxy. From a study of a kinematically selected sample of high velocity stars, ELS had found a remarkable correlation between chemical abundance and orbital eccentricity, in the sense that stars with the largest ultraviolet excess (a measure of stellar metallicity, in particular Fe), i.e. the lowest metallicity, are invariably moving in highly elliptical orbits. As the average < [Fe/H] > (in the usual notation [Fe/H] = log(Fe/H)∗ – log(Fe/H)⊙) is expected to increase with time, as a consequence of the progressive chemical enrichment of the gas, stars with the lowest [Fe/H] are, on average, the oldest. ELS also found a correlation between abundance and motion of stars perpendicular to the Galactic plane. This correlation suggests a continuous decrease of the perpendicular velocity with decreasing [Fe/H]. To explain these relations ELS proposed that the Galaxy collapsed from a protocloud to a thin disk on a timescale of a few times 108 years, with progressive chemical enrichment as the collapse proceeded. This model was subsequently criticized mainly because of selection effects in their data, i.e. given the data available to ELS one would not expect the sample to contain low abundance, low orbital eccentricity objects even if they existed. They would be absent from the high velocity catalog they used. In addition, the ELS simple model did not account for the fact that almost half of the halo stars have retrograde orbits. This fact led Larson (1969) to consider models of clumpy and turbulent protogalaxies with collapse times that sometimes exceeded 1 Gyr.

Abstract:

Terms of kinship are closely related to the lexico-semantic group associated with gender and age denomination, as well as the group associated with the determination of social status. Everything considered a norm has a high social status. Married women and men, children born in marriage fall under the norm. A situation is considered normal when a woman and a man perform their functions in marriage well, i. e. they take care of each other, their children, elderly parents, the house; a woman lives in her husband’s house. Everything that is contrary to the norm receives a negative assessment. Accordingly, people who are unmarried for various reasons, i.e. single men and women, have a low social status in traditional culture: spinsters and bachelors, widows and widowers, divorced spouses; illegitimate children; children who have lost or never had parents (or one of the parents), i. e. orphans; childless spouses; a woman who had a baby out of marriage; women and men who poorly perform their functions in marriage (bad parents, bad spouses – for example, drinkers, adulterers); a husband who came to live in his wife’s house. The article analyzes denomination and motivation for denomination of spinsters and bachelors, i. e. people who have never been married or got married at an older age as compared to what is considered ‘normal’. For the designation of a girl who did not get married in due time, about 20 lexemes and 30 attributive combinations were noted in Arkhangelsk dialects. Accordingly, there were noted about 20 lexemes and one and a half dozen word combinations designating a bachelor. To denote a spinster, there are used the same lexemes as for denoting a girl of marriageable age: virgin, girl, maid, etc. Words that have a direct meaning in the age and gender category receive a different meaning after being transfered to the lexico-semantic group ‘Social status’. The same lexemes can be used in other meanings, for example, ‘a woman who had a baby out of marriage’. Word combinations or phraseological units may be a motivation for the formation of lexemes denoting a spinster. Noteworthy are parallel names: old / elderly maid ~ old/elderly guy; starukha, staritsa ~ starik, starets (derived from the root ‘star’, which conveys the idea of being old); perestarok – for both men and women; kholostyak (which is explicitly translated as ‘bachelor’) ~ kholostovka, kholostyachka (feminine gender versions of ‘kholostyak’); bobyl’ ~ bobylka. However, this parallelism can be purely superficial: where a single man is concerned, the designations under study mean, as a rule, a guy who is not married yet; but when it comes to a single woman, the designations refer to a girl who has already missed the right time to get married. The change in the emphasis is very significant. The study is based on the material from published volumes of the Arkhangelsk Regional Dictionary, its card catalog and the author’s field notes.

Abstract:

Abstract Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is a result of mutations that prevent the silencing of the g-globin genes during the adult stage of definitive erythropoiesis. Two types of HPFH are recognized, deletional HPFH and non-deletional HPFH. Mutations in the later class have been identified in the proximal promoters of the Ag- and Gg-globin genes. Individuals homozygous for sickle cell disease or certain b-thalassemia mutations, that have in addition a HPFH mutation, do not suffer the deleterious effects of these diseases. These subjects provide the natural evidence supporting the clinical effort to reactivate fetal hemoglobin as the major treatment for SCD and b-thalassemias. Thus, understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating the g-globin genes is essential for identification of points of therapeutic intervention. Although the number of point mutations causing HPFH has grown over the years, the biochemical mechanisms affected by these alterations remains elusive. In addition, it is unlikely that all potential mutations have been identified in humans. A complete catalog of all potential HPFH point mutations, coupled with knowledge of the transcriptional processes affected by them will be an invaluable step towards effectively treating these diseases. We recently identified a novel T>A HPFH mutation in a GATA site at position -566 of the Ag-globin promoter, the most distal in the promoter to date, that affects binding of a GATA-1-FOG-1-Mi2 repressor complex. Since this study utilized mutated human b-globin locus yeast artificial chromosome (b-YAC) transgenic mice, where a second copy of the Ag-globin gene was introduced near the locus control region, we produced b-YAC transgenic mice containing the -566 mutation at the normally located Ag-globin gene. These mice display a mild HPFH phenotype, an approximately 3% increase in g-globin gene expression, compared to wild-type b-YAC mice. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) studies demonstrated that this mutation prevents GATA-1 binding when g-globin is repressed in post-conception day 18 (E18) fetal liver, whereas recruitment was observed in wild-type b-YAC transgenic samples from the same developmental stage. These data are consistent with the presence of a GATA-1-mediated repressor complex at this GATA site when g-globin is not expressed. GATA-1-mediated repression may be a general mechanism of g-globin silencing. To begin testing this hypothesis, we utilized previously generated Ag-globin -117 G>A Greek HPFH b-YAC transgenic mice, which show a 5–8% increase in g-globin synthesis in adult erythropoiesis. Published data suggested that this mutation affects nearby GATA-1 binding. Our ChIP data confirmed these results, however the GATA-1 multi-protein complex that is affected may differ from that recruited to the -566 GATA binding site. Finally, we have developed a cell-based selection that is being used to identify a comprehensive set of Ag-globin HPFH promoter mutations. Chemical inducer of dimerization (CID)-dependent Ag-globin promoter-eGFP b-YAC bone marrow cells were derived from transgenic mice and mutagenized with N-ethyl, N-nitrosourea (ENU). These cells are normally GFP−; treatment with g-globin-inducers or the presence of the -117 Greek HPFH mutation results in GFP+ cells. GFP+ cells were collected by FACS and individual cell clones expanded so that genomic DNA could be isolated. Promoter proximal regions were amplified by four PCR primer sets and subjected to heteroduplex analysis with the corresponding wild-type Ag-globin promoter PCR products as the control amplicons. Twenty three heteroduplexes have been detected among 158 mutant clones screened. Most are clustered in the proximal promoter. These data suggest that we have produced HPFH mutations, likely consisting of those known in human populations, as well as novel sites that affect repressor binding or enhance recruitment of transcriptional activators.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG) is a common and serious side effect with antipsychotic medications, which frequently leads to obesity and metabolic disorders. Previous single-gene analyses have shown an overlap between AIWG and genes associated with obesity and energy homeostasis (e.g., MC4R). However, given the polygenic nature of AIWG, polygenic risk scores (PRS), which combine thousands of common variants weighted by their effect size, provide a novel opportunity to investigate the genetic liability for AIWG. Therefore, we analyzed whether PRSs based on large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for schizophrenia (SCZ), body mass index (BMI), and diabetes (Type 1 & 2) were associated with AIWG. Methods We used a combined dataset (N=345) from two cohorts, prospectively assessed for AIWG: (1) a subset of the Clinical Antipsychotic Trials in Intervention Effectiveness cohort (CATIE; n=189, Brandl et al., 2016), and (2) the Toronto multi-study cohort (n=156, Brandl et al., 2014). The combined cohort was predominantly male (n=249, 72.2%) and on average 39.3±11.9 years old with a total of 196,787 genetic variants. Our phenotypes of interest included the percentage of BMI/weight change from baseline to end-of-treatment, as well as the presence/absence of significant weight gain (≥7% weight change). We investigated associations between PRSs of SCZ, BMI, and diabetes (Type 1 & 2) and AIWG using regression models, corrected for age, sex, study duration and presence of other risk medication for AIWG. We used the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium schizophrenia GWAS reports to calculate PRSs for SCZ. We used GWAS summary statistics from the GWAS Catalog of BMI and metabolic disorders. For BMI, we used one dataset for BMI (i.e., GCST006900: 2,336,269 variants across up to 700,000). For Type-1 diabetes (T1D), we used one dataset from the GWAS catalog (ID: GCST005536) which included 123,130 variants across 6,683 cases, 12,173 controls, 2,601 affected sibling-pair families, and 69 trios. Likewise, we used three datasets for T2D (i.e., GCST006801: 8,404,432 variants across 4,040 cases and 113,735 controls, GCST007517: 133,871 variants across up to 48,286 cases and up to 250,617 controls, and GCST007518: 133,586 variants across up to 48,286 cases and up to 250,617 controls). Results We observed significant associations with PRS for T1D and percentage BMI/weight change from baseline to the endpoint at P-value threshold=0.0022 (R2=0.02, p=0.03), as well as presence/absence of significant weight gain at PT=0.00015 (R2=0.02, p=0.047). In contrast, we observed no significant associations with PRS for SCZ, BMI, or T2D and AIWG (p>0.05). However, our findings with T1D would not remain significant after correction for multiple testing according to the Bonferroni method. Discussion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study examining whether PRSs for various metabolic-related phenotypes are associated with AIWG in patients with SCZ. Our findings suggest a possible role for PRS of diabetes type 1 being associated with risk for AIWG. This observation would indicate that (auto)immune processes might be related to AIWG which has not previously been reported. Further studies with larger sample sizes and individuals of various ethnic ancestries are required.

Abstract:

AbstractA statistical population is always associated with the distribution of a random variable. If the distribution is too complex, it is useful to think about a superposition of simpler components. For the stellar velocities, the distribution is generally assumed as a mixture of gaussian distributions, since these are particular solutions of Chandrasekhar equations for statistical equilibrium, easy to interprete dynamically. In any case, the nature of the phase space density function might be explained from the dynamics of large stellar groups, sharing a common potential, through integrals like the energy, the angular momentum, or more general quadratic integrals, rather than from the kinematics of particular groups of stars, such as those producing streaming motions. Another fact to point out is that a well defined population must be adult, that is, well described from some constant and consistent statistics. Otherwise, if a sample estimate varies depending on an external parameter, for example the mean age of a sample, then, either the type of distribution might be exchanged, or the population might be divided into an adequate number of subpopulations.In this context, the MEMPHIS algorithm (Alcobé & Cubarsi 2005) has demonstrated to be useful in order to identify nearby stellar populations, by using the full space motions of a stellar sample obtained from the Hipparcos catalog (Cubarsi & Alcobé 2004). A sampling parameter, the modulus of the velocity |V|max, produces a hierarchical set of nested samples allowing to detect significant population components of their velocity distribution. Although the method was designed to identify normal distributions, it also provides, as a less prior information pattern, a good approach to segregate non-gaussian populations. The entropy variations of the mixture probability allow us to estimate the number of populations without any prior assumption about such a number, according to the parameters of the Table below (sampling parameter, velocity dispersions, means –in Km s−1– and vertex deviation are displayed in the UVW-cartesian heliocentric coordinates system). The main disk structure is supported by two gaussian populations, thin and thick disk. Two subcomponents were found within the thin disk, which have a high deviation from gaussianity in the radial direction, as a consequence of a non-random behaviour (Cubarsi & Alcobé 2006), but not in the other directions. Old disk stars were obtained as a broad wing of the young-thin disk. All together, with the early-thin population, they make up the thin disk component. In total 2+2 populations, since halo stars were not included in the sample.

Abstract:

Anders Toftgaard: Mapping a collection. What the catalogue records can tell us about Otto Thott’s manuscript collection and about manuscript cataloguing. This article deals with the manuscript collection of Count Otto Thott (1703-1785) and with manuscript cataloguing. Otto Thott was the single greatest private book collector in the history of Denmark and of inestimable importance for the Royal Danish Library, since he bequeathed his collection of manuscripts (4154 catalogue numbers) and books printed before 1531 (6059 catalogue numbers) to the Royal Library. In the manuscript collection, the inclusion of his collection marks the division between the Old Royal Collection (GKS) and the New Royal Collection (NKS). Many of the treasures in the rare books collection come from his library, and his definition of paleotypes (books printed before 1531) has (in the 20th c.) determined the definition of the collection of post-incunabula. Otto Thott did not write owners’ marks or notes in his books and he left very little archival material concerning the ways in which he created his library. Regrettably, the literary correspondence mentioned in his will has not survived. The article analyses a data set consisting of all catalogue records (in MARC format) concerning manuscripts from Otto Thott’s manuscript collection. These catalogue records in the library system derive from the catalogue made by Rasmus Nyerup (excluding oriental manuscripts) and published in 1795. When, towards the end of the 19th centrury, the alphabetical and the systematical catalogues of the collection of western manuscripts were produced, the entries in Nyerup’s catalogue were copied by hand without being revised. After the IT revolution, when the catalogue records of the systematical catalogue were transferred to a digital database of records, these records were copied once again without revision. It is shown what kind of errors from the catalogue of 1795 were still present in the on line catalogue in 2019. The quantitative analysis shows that the bulk of the manuscripts in Thott’s manuscript collection are manuscripts in Danish and German from Thott’s own century. The subject headings with most entries are Theology, History, History of Denmark, Danish Biography and Literature. As to provenances there is information concerning the manuscript’s provenance before the inclusion in Otto Thoot’s library in 17 % of the catalogue records. The analysis shows that Otto Thott’s manuscript collection was a universal collection with no specific preferences. The conclusion argues that it is necessary to get information from the various printed catalogs of the manuscript collection into the digital library system and that parts of Thott’s manuscript collection deserve revisiting and recataloguing. The Royal Danish Library’s manuscript collection might explore alternatives to the MARC-format for manuscript cataloguing. In a wider context, it is argued that Otto Thott’s library should be considered a knot in a network, and that data from the many book auction catalogues should be extracted and used for mapping the destinies of specific books and manuscripts.

Abstract:

Six 2-year-old Corriedale wethers fitted with rumen and abomasal cannulas were given a lucerne hay, first as chopped (CH) hay then as ground and pelleted (GP) hay. Intake rate increased as dry matter intake (DMI) increased and was greater on GP hay. The time spent eating and ruminating per unit of DMI decreased as DMI increased and was shorter on GP. Ruminating efficiency increased with DMI but did not differ between CH hay and GP hay. The critical size of particles for passage from the rumen was not affected by either DMI or by grinding and pelleting. Most of the overall digestion of large particles (LP) occurred during their retention in the LP pool within the rumen, and retention in the medium particle (MP) pool accounted for much of the rumen mean retention time of particles. The residual digestible material of MP derived from LP by rumination appeared to be less accessible to fermentative activity. Prediction of an animal’s response to the grinding and pelleting of forage must take account of all the determining factors and their interactions.

Abstract:

Developments in the field of information technology today have experienced rapid progress, this is inseparable from the existence of the internet. The internet is useful for life activities, one of which is in the business world. Vehicle sales in Tembilahan still market their products simply by leaving it to the sales custody so that costs are wasted and marketing through social media Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram so that the sales system is not yet effective and many buyers still don't know. A system is needed to analyze and design a vehicle marketplace market information system to make it easier for prospective sellers to market vehicles that they want to sell so that they no longer need to rent a vehicle to sell vehicles and design a vehicle sales marketplace information system that provides a catalog menu so that prospective buyers have no trouble finding vehicles to sell. In this study using PIECES analysis to analyze the old system and the new system, the design process modeling uses context diagrams, DFD (Data Flow Diagrams), ERD (Entity Relationship Diagrams) and system testing using Black box testing and beta testing. In this research it is hoped that later it will be easier for sellers to market vehicles to prospective consumers and make it easier for buyers to find the vehicle they want to buy. Perkembangan di bidang teknologi informasi sekarang ini telah mengalami kemajuan secara pesat, hal ini tidak terlepas dari keberadaan internet. Internet bermanfaat bagi aktifitas kehidupan, salah satunya dalam dunia bisnis. Penjualan kendaraan di tembilahan masih memasarkan produknya secara sederhana dengan cara menitipkan ke penitipan penjualan sehingga terbuangnya biaya dan memasarkan melalui media sosial facebook, whatsap dan instagram sehingga sistem penjualannya belum efektif dan banyak pembeli yang masih kurang mengetahui. Diperlukan suatu sistem untuk menganalisa dan merancang sistem informasi marketplace penjualan kendaraan untuk mempermudah calon penjual untuk memasarkan kendaraan yang ingin dijual sehingga tak perlu lagi menyewa tempat untuk menjualan kendaraan serta merancang sistem informasi marketplace penjualan kendaraan yang menyediakan menu katalog sehingga calon pembeli tidak kesulitan mencari kendaraan yang di inginkan. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan analisa PIECES untuk menganalisa sistem lama dan sistem baru, perancangan proses pemodelan menggunakan diagram konteks, DFD (Data Flow Diagram), ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) dan pengujian sistem menggunakan Black box testing dan pengujian beta. Pada penelitian ini diharapkan nantinya dapat mempermudah penjual untuk memasarkan kendaraan kepada calon konsumen dan mempermudah pembeli untuk mencar kendaraan yang ingin dibeli.

Abstract:

Incunabula are considered a particularly important part of the documentary heritage. 520 incunabula are preserved in eight different Lithuanian memory institutions. The engagement of Lithuanian libraries in the development of the international database of incunabula provenances, Material Evidence in Incunabula (MEI: https://data.cerl.org/mei/_search), intensified research on incunabulistics, as it led to a closer examination of the marks of the former owners. The article presents the latest data on the distribution of incunabula in different Lithuanian memory institutions, as well as analyzes various book marks that were not recorded in Nojus Feigelmanas’ catalog of Lithuanian incunabula or was revised and supplemented, and evaluates their significance in the printed book culture of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The analysis is performed using the provenance method, however is not limited to property marks, but also includes margins – marks left by a reader on the pages of books, and other marks not related to property or reading, providing significant information on book history, culture and peculiarities of reading at that time. In the 15th century, there were no printing houses in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, so the main spread of books was by trade. The entries with prices identified in the incunabula reveal a relatively early time of purchase of the incunabula and testify that the books in the 16th-17th centuries were an expensive commodity. They usually mention groschen, the common currency in the territory of Lithuania-Poland, less often – florins or ducats. In this case, the large variety of prices does not allow to draw more specific conclusions on the prices of incunabula in the relevant period, but these data as a source of book history will serve in general when studying the value of the old books and the circumstances of their acquisition. Purchase records usually also provide information about a former owner of a book. The article focuses more on lesser-known owners on whom new information has been found or existing data have been updated, attention is also paid to female donators. The article also discusses the records left by the incunabula rubricators, which allows to determine the period of the book entry into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, as well as to look at them as one of the first readers. Various inscriptions left by anonymous owners require the most effort. Entries of the 15th-16th centuries, mostly in Latin, many of which are abstracts of an existing book or notes on it, additions to the text, are still awaiting detailed reading and research. Identified Lithuanian words will be a valuable source of the language history for researchers of the old Lithuanian language. Various marginalia – reviews on a book, notes from everyday life, counting the year of the book, as well as graffiti, different drawings that can be seen as feather attempts, amateur illustrations, caricatures or even as an expression of reading boredom, will be an important material to describe a reader’s relationship to the book at the time, for which the incunabula, like books of other ages, were not only the object of study or research, but also a kind of notebook for important thoughts, synopses, everyday details.

Abstract:

AbstractMajor advances in our understanding of the Universe have historically come from dramatic improvements in our ability to accurately measure astronomical quantities. The astrometric observations obtained by modern digital sky surveys are enabling unprecedentedly massive and robust studies of the kinematics of the Milky Way. For example, the astrometric data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), together with half a century old astrometry from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS), have enabled the construction of a catalog that includes absolute proper motions as accurate as 3 mas/year for about 20 million stars brighter than V=20, and for 80,000 spectroscopically confirmed quasars which provide exquisite error assessment. We discuss here several ongoing studies of Milky Way kinematics based on this catalog. The upcoming next-generation surveys will maintain this revolutionary progress. For example, we show using realistic simulations that the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will measure proper motions accurate to 1 mas/year to a limit 4 magnitude fainter than possible with SDSS and POSS catalogs, or with the Gaia survey. LSST will also obtain geometric parallaxes with accuracy similar to Gaia's at its faint end (0.3 mas at V=20), and extend them to V=24 with an accuracy of 3 mas. We discuss the impact that these LSST measurements will have on studies of the Milky Way kinematics, and potential synergies with the Gaia survey.

Abstract:

We use the 2MFGC catalogue for investigation of large-scale flows on the basis of the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR). The catalogue contains 18020 galaxies selected from the extended sources of the infrared sky survey 2MASS XSC. The majority of galaxies in the catalogue are spiral galaxies of late morphological types whose discs are visible almost from the edge. For more than a decade of the catalogue usage, the number of galaxies in HyperLEDA database with the measured radial velocities and rotational velocities (that are necessary to construct the TFR) has been increased by about 17%. In this paper, an updated working sample of 2MFGC galaxies is presented and earlier results are revised taking into account new data. We have confined ourselves to comparison of only the "old" and "new" parameters of the dipole component of the velocity field. The dipole bulk motion of galaxies of this sample with respect to cosmic microwave radiation is characterised by a velocity of V=264±36 km/s in the direction l=308°±8°, b=-16°±6°.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to obtain online access to the digitised Arabic manuscripts images, which need to use a catalogue. The bibliographic cataloguing is unsuitable for old Arabic manuscripts, and it is imperative to establish a new cataloguing model. In the research, the authors propose a new cataloguing model based on manuscript annotations and transcriptions. This model can be an effective solution to dynamic catalogue old Arabic manuscripts. In this field, the authors used the automatic extraction of the metadata that is based on the structural similarity of the documents. Design/methodology/approach This work is based on experimental methodology. The whole proposed concepts and formulas were tested for validation. This, allows the authors to make concise conclusions. Findings Cataloguing old Arabic manuscripts faces problem of unavailability of information. However, this information may be found in another place in a copy of the original manuscript. Thus, cataloguing Arabic manuscript cannot be done in one time, it is a continual process which require information updating. The idea is to make a pre-cataloguing of a manuscript, then try to complete and improve it through a specific platform. Consequently, in the research work, the authors propose a new cataloguing model, which the authors call “Dynamic cataloguing”. Research limitations/implications The success of the proposed model is confronted with the involvement of all actors of the model. It is based on the conviction and the motivation of actors of the collaborative platform. Practical implications The model can be used in several cataloguing fields, where the encoding model is based on XML. The model is innovative and implements a smart cataloguing model. The model is useful by using a web platform. It allows an automatic update of a catalogue. Social implications The model prompts the user to participate and enrich the catalogue. The user could improve his social status from a passive to an active. Originality/value The dynamic cataloguing model is a new concept. It has never been proposed in the literature until now. The proposed cataloguing model is based on automatic extraction of metadata from user annotations/transcription. It is a smart system which automatically updates or fills the catalogue with the extracted metadata.

Abstract:

This sketch concerns the notions of groups that were considered aliens by the old Poles. Methodologically the work remains in the circle of ethnolinguistic research. The analysis uses the tools developed by the theory of linguistic image of the world. Material has been excerpted from 4 catalogs of rulers created in the period from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century. In the observed catalogs, there are three points of view, from the perspective of which the alien is categorized; these are the optics of a sword, cross, crown. The reconstruction of the infidels’ image in the article is carried out in the context of the functions this category plays in the era of shaping and preservation of national identity in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to evaluate feed intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance, water balance, and performance of lambs fed diets containing old man saltbush hay associated with a concentrate. Thirty-two castrated feedlot Santa Inês lambs at approximately eight months of age, with 22 ± 1.97 kg body weight, were distributed into a completely randomized experimental design. Acid detergent fiber intake increased (P < 0.05), whereas non-fibrous carbohydrates intake decreased (P < 0.01). Inclusion of old man saltbush in the diet reduced (P < 0.01) the digestibility of dry and organic matter, neutral and acid detergent fiber, and non-fibrous carbohydrates. The intakes of digestible dry and organic matter, ether extract, total carbohydrates, and digestible non-fibrous carbohydrates also decreased (P < 0.01). Inclusion of old man saltbush did not influence water consumption from the trough by the sheep, averaging 4,327.20 mL/day?1. Body weight at slaughter and daily weight gain decreased linearly (P < 0.05) and feed conversion worsened as old man saltbush hay was added to the diet. Inclusion of old man saltbush at up to 40% replacing the concentrate in feedlot lamb diets does not compromise the performance of these animals.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper presents a corpus study of right dislocation (RD) in Catalan and discusses crosslinguistic differences of information packaging between English and Catalan. The Catalan corpus consists of 93 RDs which have been coded according to three parameters: (1) the point where the entity in the right-dislocated constituent had appeared in the discourse, (2) consequences of eliminating the right-dislocated constituent and (3) consequences of restoring the canonical order. I argue that RD in Catalan is a means to structure information in a coherent way by displacing old information from the main clause. Three main types of RDs can be found: (1) RDs which activate an entity which was no longer accessible in the discourse and make it highly salient, while still marking its discourse-old status; (2) RDs which make explicit an implicit, never textually mentioned, referent and places it in a discourse-old information position. (3) RDs referring to entities mentioned in the previous sentence. Such RDs convey an additional meaning, some ‘emotional content’, having to do with the expression of opposition or emphasis. In order to analyse crosslinguistic differences, an English text and its Catalan translation have been used. The Catalan translation contained 42 instances of RD, while the English text contained none, which shows that the two languages use different strategies to encode information packaging. The Catalan translation uses RDs mostly in cases in which the English original repeats the same phrase in two consecutive utterances and in utterances which convey contrast or opposition.

Abstract:

"The hay barrack and other hay structures from the Land of Maramureș The hay barrack is a unique structure, consisting of four wooden poles which support a pyramidal roof, which can be raised or lowered, depending on the amount of hay sheltered from the weather. The Land of Maramureș (the northern half of the current Maramureș County), a quite well-known traditional life stronghold, can be considered ”the World’s hay capital”, a place where the hay culture is stronger than anywhere else and where the fields are filled up with ”classic” hay barracks (we estimate that there are probably 10-15,000 structures still left), with tens of thousands hay stacks, with thousands hay barracks with immovable roof and with countless drying hayracks of different types, so many that they change the look of the landscape. Moreover, there is the only place where the hay barracks are still used today exactly as in the Middle Ages (being filled regularly, manually, with traditionally harvested hay), and on a huge scale, not found elsewhere. With prehistoric origins, the most special structure, the hay barrack is considered to have its birthplace in the Netherlands, from where, since the 13th and 14th centuries, it spread over a large part of the continent, a territory bordered by Great Britain, France, Northern Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Northern Transylvania, Ukraine, Russia or Scandinavia. Today, everywhere, the unusual barrack has disappeared, except în Maramureș and the Netherlands - where there is the second largest group of preserved structures, but without being used anymore for storing hay. The study lists the main features of the construction, the villages where the hay barracks survive in more significant number, and it tries to find out the reason why this type of structure still persists so strongly in that region. At the end there are some old images from different places, as well as contemporary photographs taken in Maramureș, featuring various types of hay structures.

Abstract:

Aims. Questions of how massive quiescent galaxies rapidly assembled and how abundant they are at high redshift are increasingly important in the study of galaxy formation. Looking at these systems can shed light on the processes of galaxy mass assembly and quenching of the star formation at early epochs. In order to address these questions, we aim to identify and characterize massive quiescent galaxies from z ∼ 2.5 out to the highest redshifts at which these systems can be found. The final purpose is to compare the results with the predictions of state-of-the-art semi-analytical models of galaxy formation and evolution. Methods. We defined observer-frame color–color diagrams to optimally select quiescent galaxies at z > 2.5 and applied them to the COSMOS2015 catalog. We refined the spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting analysis for the selected candidates to confirm their quiescent nature, then derived their number density, mass density, and stellar mass functions. Finally, we compared the results with previous observations and some current semi-analytic models. Results. We selected candidates for quiescent galaxies in the redshift range 2.5 ≲ z ≲ 4.5 from the COSMOS2015 catalog by means of two color–color diagrams. The additional SED fitting analysis allowed us to select 128 galaxies, consistent with being massive (log(M*/M⊙)≥10.6), old (ages ≳0.5 Gyr), and quiescent (log(sSFR [yr−1]) ≤ −10.5) objects at high redshift (2.5 < z < 4.5). Their number and mass densities are in fair agreement with previous observations and, if confirmed, show a discrepancy with current semi-analytical models of galaxy formation and evolution, that underpredict the number of massive quiescent systems up to a factor of ∼12 at 2.5 ≤ z < 3.0 and ∼10 at z ∼ 4.0. The evolution of the stellar mass functions (SMFs) of these systems is similar to previous estimates and indicates a disagreement with models, particularly with regard to the shape of the SMF. Conclusions. The present results add further evidence to the possibility that massive and quiescent galaxies can exist out to at least z ∼ 4. If future spectroscopic observations carried out with, for example, the James Webb Space Telecope (JWST), confirm the substantial presence of such a population, further work on modeling the stellar mass assembly, as well as supermassive black hole accretion and feedback processes at early cosmic epochs, is needed to understand how these systems formed, evolved, and quenched their star formation.

Abstract:

As a preparation to the HIPPARCOS mission, a large observing programme on NLTT stars (propermotion > 0.18 ″/yr) was started in Genevaphotometry. The original programme consists of 10047 stars brighter than mR = 11.5, or mR = 12.5 if of colour class m. Among them, 7813 targets could be included in the HIPPARCOS programme, selected according to their observability and internal priorities in favour of large parallaxe stars (photometric distances < 100 pc) and high-velocity stars. The bulk of new nearby, halo, mild-metal poor and SMR stars in the HIP Catalogue originates from this proposal (N° 139). No less than 208 new nearby stars with π ≥ 40 mas were discovered south of δ +10°, the closest has π(HIP)= 182 mas. Radial velocities were obtained with CORAVEL at OHP and ESO. Most aspects of the early evolution of the Galaxy may be addressed with this sample. Here we discuss, as examples, the ages of the thick disk and of the galactic bulge.

Abstract:

Mulching between rows of plastic used for vegetable production can be an effective practice for controlling weeds. An existing round-bale unroller was modified to create an offset bale unroller, allowing round bales of hay to be unrolled between planting rows with a tractor. This modification has made the practice of mulching with round bales of hay or wheat straw more efficient. This offset round-bale unroller was used to apply hay and wheat straw mulch to between-row areas of ‘Crimson Sweet’ watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) in 2009 and 2010. Hay and wheat (Triticum sp.) straw mulches were applied at two thicknesses, corresponding one and two layers of mulch from the round bale, respectively. All of the hay and wheat straw mulch treatments controlled weeds significantly better than the non-treated controls in both years. There was a significant mulch-type by year interaction for weed control, with 1-year-old hay having less weed control in 2010 compared with 2009, whereas other mulches had improved weed control in 2010. One-year-old wheat straw and new hay had the lowest levels of weed biomass present compared with new wheat straw and the no-mulch control. Mulch thickness significantly affected weed control, with mulches applied in two layers having significantly less weed biomass than those applied in one layer. Weed pressure was significantly less in 2010 compared with 2009. The offset bail-unroller that has been developed to apply mulches to between-row areas of plastic-covered beds is a useful tool that can be used to efficiently unroll round bales of a variety of organic mulches for weed control.

Abstract:

At the turn of 2017 and 2018, with the date 2017 printed in the colophon, two catalogues of engravings’ collections were published: old Italian prints from the collection of the National Museum in Wrocław, and French prints from the National Museum in Szczecin. The collection of Wrocław contains groups of artworks by the best Italian engravers from the Renaissance to the 18th century, and a small representation of the 19th century. An introduction to the catalogue gives the history, the scope and the contents of the collection as well as the brief history of the engraving art on the Apennine Peninsula. The catalogue itself is glossed, giving references to the latest research, preceded by biographical notes of encyclopaedic character. This well illustrated and thoroughly edited catalogue, organised in a user-friendly alphabetical order, is a compendium useful not only for art historians. The catalogue published by the National Museum in Szczecin has the same title as the exhibition of French engravings from its collection. It is a combination of both the exhibition and the collection catalogue. Hence its specific layout corresponding rather with the narration of an exhibition than a catalogue’s criteria. Both the encyclopaedic profiles of artists and the following glosses are accompanied by selected bibliography; its full version together with extensive academic references can be found at the end of the volume. The collection of over 600 prints has been divided not in alphabetical or chronological order but in accordance with an academic hierarchy of subjects. Engravings for art reproduction purposes prevail in Szczecin collection although original works of famous artists are also included. The publication of both catalogues allows us to learn more about the engravings in Polish public collections, i.e. the ones of national museum in Szczecin and Wrocław. It also gives the history of Polish collections after 1945, affected by the previous losses of the World War II. Undoubtedly, the sign of the times and the presence of Poland in the united Europe is the publication of the Italian engravings’ collection from Wrocław, which was kept before in the Academy of Arts in Berlin. Great care has been taken to prepare both catalogues in terms of their typography, although the illustrations in the French engravings’ catalogue would be of more benefit if were somewhat larger.

Abstract:

Context. Developing high-precision ephemerides for Neptunian satellites requires not only the continuation of observing campaigns but also the collection and improvement of existing observations. So far, no complete catalogs of observations of Neptunian satellites are available. Aims. We aim to provide new, precise positions, and to compile a catalog including all available ground-based astrometric observations of Neptunian satellites. The observations are tabulated in a single and consistent format and given in the same timescale, the Terrestrial Time (TT), and reference system, the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS), including necessary changes and corrections. Methods. New CCD observations of Triton and Nereid were made at Lijiang 2.4-m and Yaoan 0.8-m telescopes in 2013–2019, and then reduced based on Gaia-DR2. Furthermore, a catalog called OCNS2019 (Observational Catalog of Neptunian Satellites (2019 version)) was compiled, after recognizing and correcting errors and omissions. Furthermore, in addition to what was considered for the COSS08 catalog for eight main Saturnian satellites, all observed absolute and relative coordinates were converted to the ICRS with corrections for star catalog biases with respect to Gaia-DR2. New debiasing tables for both the modern and old star catalogs, which were previously not provided based on Gaia-DR2, are developed and applied. Treatment of missing positions of comparison bodies in conversions of observed relative coordinates are proposed. Results. OCNS2019 and the new debiasing tables are publicly available online. OCNS2019 includes 24996 observed coordinates of 11 Neptunian satellites obtained over 3741 nights from 1847 to 2019. All observations are given in TT and ICRS. The star catalog biases are removed, which are significant for Nereid and outer satellites. We obtained 880 (5% of total now available) new coordinates for Triton over 41 nights (1% of total observation nights so far), and 790 (14%) for Nereid over 47 nights (10%). The dispersions of these new positions are about 0.″03 for Triton and 0.″06 for Nereid. Conclusions. OCNS2019 should be useful in improving ephemerides for the above-mentioned objects.

Abstract:

Library catalogue or inventory book is one of the most important sources for exploring its stock development, collection creation strategy, content of documents. Catalogue contains a lot of information about content of collections, quality and quantity aspects, and enables reconstruction of libraries which had been closed, dispersed or damaged by various disasters. Catalogues of old, especially non-operating libraries can also play role of reflections of scientific, cultural, social life of certain historical period, sometimes even of witnesses of the whole epoch. This historical source is very important for history of book and library. Their analysis can fill gaps in research of cultural communication of certain periods. Library catalogue is an information search system giving better orientation in the library to the reader, satisfaction of his informational needs and expectations. Exploring of library catalogue can be multiform depending on the subject and object of the exploration. Scientific researches of library catalogues are not popular; they are rather additional source of book history. The old catalogues give possibility to reconstruct traditions and culture of forming catalogues of that time, retrieve regulations and specifics of their forming. The article reveals content of catalogues of institutional, personal libraries of 19th-20th centuries preserved in the Rare Book and Manuscript Department of Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania, their provenance attributes and physical features, making emphasis on Lithuanian books in these libraries. These are catalogues or lists of books owned of Samogitian Seminary, Ateitininkai Chapter established by Lithuanians who moved to Voronezh (Russia) during the 1st World War, The Januškevičiai (progenitors of the Dobužinskiai family), explorer of Lithuanian language Kazimieras Jaunius. These catalogues were selected from library catalogues of the National Library, because the institutions and persons mentioned were important for Lithuanian history and culture. Old library catalogues present evidence what important sources they can be for exploring of various historical stages of the country, historical and cultural heritage of various institutions, organizations or personalities, cultural and informational communication, distribution of a certain book, its popularity in libraries of various levels, culture and traditions of library catalogues forming during the certain time period.

Abstract:

It has been argued repeatedly that the Old Romance clitics are phrasal in character and obey a Romance version of the Wackernagel law, i.e. the Tobler-Mussafia law (cf. Tobler 1875; Mussafia 1888). This law has been interpreted as a constraint that forbids clitics to appear in initial position, due to their status as phonologically enclitic elements, and it was often taken as the explanation of why Old Romance clitics could follow the verb in matrix sentences but never in embedded sentences. Under this view the change in clitic placement from Old to Modern Romance was explained with a change in the categorial status of the clitic itself, i.e. as long as clitics were moving as phrases the ban on clitic-first orders was active and thus clitics were sometimes forced to follow the verb in matrix sentences. Old Catalan clitics contradict this view. They precede and follow the verb in matrix as well as in embedded sentences even though they need to be analyzed as heads from the beginning onwards. In this paper I argue that the change in clitic placement is neither connected to the clitics’ phrasal character nor to their obedience to the Tobler-Mussafia law, but that it is the parameter determining the relative order between verb and clitic that has changed its value in the development from Old to Modern Catalan. The data I present is taken from a corpus of more than 7000 sentences covering the last eight centuries.

Abstract:

AbstractFive bales were randomly chosen from a stack of 6-month-old barn-stored hay. Four 2·5-kg sections were taken from each bale and subjected to one of four different water wetting treatments, 0-min soak, 10-min soak, 30-min soak and 80-min steaming. Post wetting, the sections were shaken for 9 min under a Negretti LS45F personal dust sampler which sucked-in any particles released into the surrounding air. The sampler contents were then analysed for respirable particle numbers (particles < 5um), and the hay subsampled and analysed for water-soluable carbohydrate, N, Na, K, Ca, P, Mg, Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu. The steaming and soaking treatments all proportionately reduced respirable particle numbers by more than 0·93 of those present in the dry hay. Soaking for 10 min and 30 min significantly reduced levels of P, K, Mg, Na and Cu, whereas the steamed samples showed no loss of nutrients from the levels present in the dry hay. Thus in terms of reducing respirable particle numbers and conserving nutrient levels, steaming for 80 min is the most effective treatment when preparing hay fodder for horses.

Full text

Abstract:

Community composition of the soil seedbank were characterized 35 years after the implementation of a long-term study involving cropping sequences (continuous corn, corn-soybean, corn-oat-hay) and tillage systems (conventional-, minimum- and no-tillage). Germinable seeds within the top 10 cm of soil in early spring were identified and enumerated in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Species diversity, which was characterized by richness (S), evenness (E) and the Shannon-Weiner index (H'), was significantly influenced by crop rotation rather than tillage. Generally, diversity measures were greatest in the corn-oat-hay sequences as compared to the corn-soybean rotations and the corn monoculture. Species richness and H' typically declined with increasing soil disturbance (no-tillage > minimum-tillage > conventional-tillage), whereas E increased with more intense tillage. A synthetic importance value (RI), incorporating both density and frequency measures, was generated for each species in each plot. Multiresponse permutation procedures (MRPP) were used to examine differences in weed community composition with respect to management system for all three years. Results suggest that the weed seed community in a corn-oat-hay rotational system differs substantially, in structure and composition, from communities associated with continuous corn and corn-soybean systems. No tillage systems were significantly different in composition as compared to conventional tillage and minimum tillage treatments. Crop sequence and tillage system are important cultural methods of shifting weed species number and diversity, and therefore, community structure. Manipulation of these factors could help to reduce the negative impact of weeds on crop production.

Full text

Abstract:

In former Czechoslovakia, grass breeding was located in the three distinct regions of Southern Bohemia and Northern Moravia during the 1920’s; and later in Slovakia in the 1940’s. This resulted in the development of 45 cultivars of 17 grass species which originated from local ecotypes and were named after the place of their breeding (e.g. Táborský, Větrovský, Rožnovský, and Levočský). Most of these historical cultivars were not preserved in any national germplasm collection, and the number of missing accessions amounted to 27 of the 34 deleted varieties. Using the findings about unpreserved materials of Czechoslovak origin in the European Central Crop Databases, as well as the EURISCO web catalogue, it was possible to repatriate 7 historical cultivars (Arrhenatherum elatius Větrovský, Festuca pratensis Větrovská, Festuca rubra Rožnovská, Lolium perenne Táborský, Phleum pratense Větrovský, Poa nemoralis Rožnovská, and Poa pratensis Levočská) from the gene banks of the neighbouring European countries. The accessions were regenerated, and their seed has been stored ex situ in the Gene Bank of the Crop Research Institute in Prague.

Full text

Abstract:

Changes in plasma concentrations of GH and insulin in response to feeding and stimulation with GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) or GH-releasing peptide (GHRP-6, a ligand for endogenous GH secretagogue receptors) were compared between 3-week-old (milk-fed) and 12-week-old (concentrate and hay-fed) calves. Feeding of a milk-replacer diet in 3-week-old animals significantly increased the basal (prefeeding) concentrations of GH, insulin and glucose in plasma, whereas feeding of concentrate and hay in 12-week-old animals did not cause a significant change in these traits. However, in the animals maintained on a milk-replacer diet until 12 weeks of age, postprandial plasma GH concentrations and AUC (area under the curve) were not different from those in the age-matched weaned group. The venous injection of either GHRH (0.25 μg/kg) or GHRP-6 (2.5 μg/kg) significantly increased plasma GH concentrations in both 3- and 12-week-old animals, but GH AUC was significantly greater in 3-week-old than in 12-week-old animals. Insulin concentration was transiently but significantly increased by the injection of GHRP-6 only in 12-week-old animals, the AUC being greater in 12-week-old than 3-week-old animals. From these results, we conclude that postprandial levels of plasma GH and insulin concentrations are altered after weaning and by aging, and that the quality of diets or development of the neuroendocrine functions in the digestive–pituitary system may be involved in this alteration.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIn eight experiments, ewes nursing one or two lambs were offered restricted amounts of concentrate in the range 285 to 605 g dry matter (DM) per day and hay ad libitum, from lambing until day 42 of lactation.Hay intake increased sharply during the first 2 weeks and reached its maximum during the 5th or the 6th week. Ewes' body weight at lambing, ewes' body-weight change, and milk production (estimated by litter growth rate) were significantly related to hay intake which depended also on breed (Romanov × Limousine ewes eating more than pure Limousine, P < 0·001) and age (mature ewes eating more than old ewes, P < 0·001) but not on number of suckled lambs.Replacement rate of concentrates for forage increased as lactation progressed (0·53 to 0·86 from first to third fortnight) and varied with hay neutral detergent fibre (NDF) concentration (0·42 or 0·89 for hays with 700 or 500 g NDF per kg DM). Daily hay DM intake decreased by 1·28 g for each gram of hay NDF content increment. The NDF effect was increasingly more important as lactation progressed.Utilization of present results in formulating diets for lactating ewes is discussed.

Abstract:

The research was carried out at the animal experimental station of the National Agricultural Research Institute of the French West Indies (Guadeloupe) in 1999. Effects on intake and digestion by sheep of addition of Gliricidia leaves to a diet of 35-day-old Digitaria decumbens (pangola) hay, have been studied. In a first trial (a 4×4 Latin Square design), four rams were fed four diets: hay (G0); hay plus 1300 g of Gliricidia (G0·25), hay plus 2600 g of Gliricidia (G0·50), hay plus 3900 g of Gliricidia (G0·75). Total dry matter intake (DM), hay and Gliricidia intake, total tract and rumen digestibility of DM and its components, microbial and total nitrogen flows were estimated. In a second trial (a 2×2 Latin Square design), the same animals received hay (G0) or Gliricidia (G1·00) ad libitum to estimate the rumen turnover of pangola and Gliricidia fibrous particle. Neutral detergent fibre and crude protein content of the Digitaria decumbens hay and Gliricidia were 746 and 51, 458 and 198 g/kg dry matter respectively. Total dry matter intake (DM) varied from 42·7 to 76 g DM/kg LW0·75 from G0 to G0·75. The rate of substitution of pangola by Gliricidia (decrease of pangola intake for one unit Gliricidia consumed) was 233 g/kg. The digestibility of cell-wall linearly decreased with increasing level of Gliricidia in the diet. No digestive interaction was registered in the mixed diets. The total nitrogen and microbial nitrogen duodenal flows increased with the level of Gliricidia in the diet. The rumen turnover of fibrous particles of Gliricidia was double that of pangola. The incorporation of Gliricidia in diets increases their nutritive value by higher intake and intestinal nitrogen duodenal flows, but no positive digestive interaction was observed between pangola hay and Gliricidia leaves.

Abstract:

AbstractModern tasks of high precision astrometry demand optical coordinate systems including more faint stars than are available now in current conventional systems (Hipparcos). For this purpose it is suggested to use old photographic observations accumulated in the Pulkovo Observatory. Extensive observational data have been obtained at Pulkovo Observatory during the last century in the framework of several programs, e.g. Pulkovo Galaxy plan, etc. Observations have been made with the Normal Astrograph from 1894 to the present. The data are investigated with the aim of extending the Hipparcos catalog to stars fainter than 11th magnitude. All available observations are taken into account. A description of the material considered is given. The distribution of the selected plates over the celestial sphere is shown as well. Coordinates of faint stars in the Hipparcos system are calculated for selected areas. The accuracy of computed star coordinates is analyzed. Results of the investigation are presented.

Abstract:

The genus Solenysa Simon, 1894 belongs to Linyphiidae Blackwall, 1859, which is a species-rich group, including 608 genera and 4,571 species (World Spider Catalog 2018). Solenysa currently includes 14 species from China, Japan and the Korean Peninsula (Simon 1894; Namkung 1986; Li & Song 1992; Gao, Zhu & Sha 1993; Tu, Ono & Li 2007; Ono 2011; Tu & Hormiga 2011; Wang, Ono & Tu 2015). The linyphiid phylogeny based on molecular data shows that Solenysa species forms one of the seven main clades within Linyphiidae (Wang et al. 2015). According to the phylogenetic analysis based on morphological data, Tu and Hormiga (2011) divided the genus Solenysa into four species groups, each having a unique genital type comprised by series genital characters. As an old branch with a long evolutionary history, Solenysa spiders have accumulated a long list of synapomorphies (Tu & Hormiga 2011), not only having a unique somatic appearance, but also specific genitalic characters that distinguish them from all other linyphiids.

Abstract:

The paper describes the stages of studying the biochemical heterogeneity of gluten proteins of wheat grain as an important factor in the baking quality of flour. It has been shown that the biochemical heterogeneity of gluten proteins is caused by genetic factors. Modern electrophoretic methods on gel carriers make it possible to study the component protein composition of varieties, biotypes, lines, split hybrids and to identify the Mendelian units of the spectrum (genes, alleles). The application of the idea of the genetic nomenclature of the hereditary unit of gliadins (a block of components) is over 40 years old, and it was proposed by domestic scientists (Kopus, Poperelya, Sozinov). This made it possible to compile catalogs of blocks of components (alleles), to study their correlation with quality, frost resistance and other traits, to develop a scale for combining gliadin blocks in the spectrum of varieties for the breeding assessment of samples from agro-nurseries. It has been established that electrophoregrams of prolamins serve as a reliable criterion to identify seed genotypes of commercial varieties by laboratory methods.

For the thick disk, preliminary analysis based on our best structural models provides a mean metallicity 〈[M/H]〉 = −0.6 ± 0.3dex and a marginal vertical metallicity gradient ≈ −0.1dex/kpc. The observed color distributions are further consistent with the (old) thin disk having mean abundance 〈[M/H]〉 = −0.3 ± 0.2dex and abundance gradient ∂[M/H]/∂z = −0.6dex/kpc.

Abstract:

The Kurdish nationalist tradition is surely not very old. The earliest origins of Kurdish nationalism coincide with the beginning of modernity in Kurdistan, which emerged with the secular humanism of the ‘Western Enlightenment,’ ushering in a gradual decline of traditional Islamic identity. The nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries in Kurdish history were a period for the incubation and growth of nationalism in Kurdistan. The famous temporary conquest of Iranian Kurdistan by Sheikh ‘Ubaydullah Nehrî (d. 1883), son of Sheikh Sayyid Taha, is the most important event in the history of early Kurdish nationalism. What I want to present here is in no way a complete investigation of the revolt of ‘Ubaydullah and his nationalist efforts. This is no more than an introduction to some newly-found Persian documents from the Institute of Persian National Records (IPNR) in Tehran, a schema of basic subjects surrounding the rebellion of ‘Ubaydullah and the Kurdish tribes as reflected in Persian diplomatic reports. Here I can only list the documents without entering into much detail. This collection has attracted little attention yet, but is well worth intensive investigation.

Abstract:

This study investigated live animal performance and carcass characteristics of Australian prime lambs fed oil based polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) enriched pellets in a feedlot system. The tested hypothesis was that supplementation of lambs with a variety of dietary oil based PUFA enriched pellets would enhance growth and carcass characteristics compared with the control lambs fed only with lucerne hay. Seventy-two, 6 months old White Suffolk x Corriedale first-cross prime lambs with an average liveweight (LWT) of 35.7 ± 0.9 kg were allocated to six treatment groups in a completely randomised experimental design. The treatments were: (1) control: lucerne hay only; or lucerne hay plus wheat-based pellets infused with 50 mL/kg dry matter (DM) of oils from (2) rice bran (RBO); (3) canola (CO); (4) rumen protected (RPO); (5) flaxseed (FO) and (6) safflower (SO) dietary sources. All lambs had ad libitum access to lucerne hay and clean fresh water. Supplemented lambs were fed 1 kg of pellet/head/day for 10 weeks. Feed intake, final LWT, average daily gain (ADG), body conformation and carcass characteristics of lambs in the supplemented groups were all greater than for the control group. SO lambs had the lowest ADG of 190.3 g/day. RBO and CO treatments had the lowest feed cost per unit gain of AU$3.0/kg. Supplemented lambs had similar over the hooks (OTH) incomes that were all higher than that of the control group. This empirical evidence-based data demonstrated that supplementation of lambs with RBO and CO had comparatively lower feed costs without compromising ADG, carcass characteristics and OTH income.

Abstract:

We investigated if greenness and air pollution exposure in parents’ childhood affect offspring asthma and hay fever, and if effects were mediated through parental asthma, pregnancy greenness/pollution exposure, and offspring exposure. We analysed 1106 parents with 1949 offspring (mean age 35 and 6) from the Respiratory Health in Northern Europe, Spain and Australia (RHINESSA) generation study. Mean particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), black carbon (BC), ozone (O3) (µg/m3) and greenness (normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)) were calculated for parents 0–18 years old and offspring 0–10 years old, and were categorised in tertiles. We performed logistic regression and mediation analyses for two-pollutant models (clustered by family and centre, stratified by parental lines, and adjusted for grandparental asthma and education). Maternal medium PM2.5 and PM10 exposure was associated with higher offspring asthma risk (odds ratio (OR) 2.23, 95%CI 1.32–3.78, OR 2.27, 95%CI 1.36–3.80), and paternal high BC exposure with lower asthma risk (OR 0.31, 95%CI 0.11–0.87). Hay fever risk increased for offspring of fathers with medium O3 exposure (OR 4.15, 95%CI 1.28–13.50) and mothers with high PM10 exposure (OR 2.66, 95%CI 1.19–5.91). The effect of maternal PM10 exposure on offspring asthma was direct, while for hay fever, it was mediated through exposures in pregnancy and offspring’s own exposures. Paternal O3 exposure had a direct effect on offspring hay fever. To conclude, parental exposure to air pollution appears to influence the risk of asthma and allergies in future offspring.

Abstract:

AbstractAbout 40% of potential OH / IR stars, color selected from the IRAS Point Source Catalog, have no 1612 MHz masers. While these objects are rarely carbon rich, they are usually associated with circumstellar shells. The natural explanation for these “OH / IR star color mimics” is that they are systems with a degenerate companion collecting an accretion disk from a red giant wind. This provides them with an extra source of UV for dissociating their molecules. The persistent absence of the usual complement of masers from an O-rich shell is then a pointer to the presence of a degenerate companion. These occur in association with ~45% of old giant stars.
