Descriptional Complexity of Three-Nonterminal Scattered Context Grammars: An Improvement
Recently, it has been shown that every recursively enumerable language can be
generated by a scattered context grammar with no more than three nonterminals.
However, in that construction, the maximal number of nonterminals
simultaneously rewritten during a derivation step depends on many factors, such
as the cardinality of the alphabet of the generated language and the structure
of the generated language itself. This paper improves the result by showing
that the maximal number of nonterminals simultaneously rewritten during any
derivation step can be limited by a small constant regardless of other factors
Registration of the transition radiation with GaAs detector: Data/MC comparison
New developments of pixel detectors based on GaAs sensors offer effective registration of the transition radiation (TR) X-rays and perform simultaneous measurements of their energies and emission angles. This unique feature opens new possibilities for particle identification on the basis of maximum available information about generated TR photons. Results of studies of TR energy-Angular distributions using a 500 |j.m thick GaAs sensor attached to a Timepix3 chip are presented. Measurements, analysis techniques and a comparison with Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are described and discussed
Determination of fission barrier height of Fr 210 and Ra 210 via neutron measurement
Fission barrier heights of short-lived nuclei away from line of β stability are not known reliably. Low-energy fission of Fr210 and Ra210, produced by (d,p) and (d,n) transfer reaction on the re-accelerated unstable beam Fr209 was investigated at HIE-ISOLDE. Four Timepix3 pixel detectors were installed on the body of the ACTAR TPC demonstrator chamber. Polyethylene converters were used for the detection of fast neutrons. Since no significant background was observed, it was possible to measure the spatial distribution of emitted neutrons reflecting the fission excitation function. Subsequent simulations employing the results of the talys code and available data on fission fragment distributions allowed to estimate directly the value of the fission barrier height for the neutron-deficient nucleus Fr210. This first direct measurement confirmed the reduction of the fission barrier compared to available theoretical calculations by 15-30%

Sheep Producers' Reasons for Ceasing Farm-Flock Operations in Kansas
During a study of losses of sheep to canine predators in south-central Kansas, we surveyed sheep producers no longer in business to determine why they ceased operations. Advancing age and/or poor health and predator problems were the reasons most producers listed for quitting business.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
