Factors affecting the innovativeness among Buffalo farmers in the Samsun province of Turkey by Ismet Boz, Aydin Basarir, Eihab Fathelrahman, Osman Kılıç, Berhanu Degefa

“…The factors affecting innovativeness are socioeconomic characteristics such as the age of the farmer, monthly income, and number of animals they own; and communication behaviors included the frequency of meeting with extension staff, the frequency of reading newspapers, the frequency of using the internet, and seeking the opinions of others on agricultural issues. Measures to be taken in the study area to diffuse innovations in buffalo farming are to provide support to farmers such as breeding animals, milking machines, and cooling tanks; to make farmer organizations more effective in the region, and to take adequate measures for the protection and sustainable use of pasture lands in the area, emphasizing the importance of environmental conservation and the role of farmers in achieving it.…”

Rhizon sampler alteration of deep ocean sediment interstitial water samples, as indicated by chloride concentration and oxygen and hydrogen isotopes by Madeline D. Miller, Jess F. Adkins, David A. Hodell

“…We find that samples taken with Rhizons have positive biases in both chloride concentration and stable isotopic ratios relative to those taken by squeezing water from sediments in a hydraulic press. The measured offsets between Rhizon and squeeze samples are consistent with a combination of absorption by and diffusive fractionation through the hydrophilic membrane of the Rhizon sampler. …”

Experimental Study on Bioluminescence Tomography with Multimodality Fusion by Yujie Lv, Jie Tian, Wenxiang Cong, Ge Wang

“…To verify the influence of a priori information on the nonuniqueness problem of bioluminescence tomography (BLT), the multimodality imaging fusion based BLT experiment is performed by multiview noncontact detection mode, which incorporates the anatomical information obtained by the microCT scanner and the background optical properties based on diffuse reflectance measurements. In the reconstruction procedure, the utilization of adaptive finite element methods (FEMs) and a priori permissible source region refines the reconstructed results and improves numerical robustness and efficiency. …”

Timing the escape of a photoexcited electron from a molecular cage by Connor Fields, Aleksandra Foerster, Sadegh Ghaderzadeh, Ilya Popov, Bang Huynh, Filipe Junqueira, Tyler James, Sofia Alonso Perez, David A. Duncan, Tien-Lin Lee, Yitao Wang, Sally Bloodworth, Gabriela Hoffman, Mark Walkey, Richard J. Whitby, Malcolm H. Levitt, Brian Kiraly, James N. O’Shea, Elena Besley, Philip Moriarty

“…Despite marginal frontier orbital mixing in the ground configuration, almost 80% of the excited state density is found outside the buckyball due to the formation of a markedly diffuse hybrid orbital. Far from isolating the intracage excitation, the surrounding fullerene is instead a remarkably efficient conduit for electron transfer: we measure characteristic delocalization times of 6.6 ± 0.3 fs and  ≲ 500 attoseconds, respectively, for a 3D Ar@C60 film and a 2D monolayer on Ag(111).…”
