The pupillary response of cephalopods
This paper provides the first detailed description of the time courses of light-evoked pupillary constriction for two species of cephalopods, Sepia officinalis (a cuttlefish) and Eledone cirrhosa (an octopus). The responses are much faster than hitherto reported, full contraction in Sepia taking less than 1 s, indicating it is among the most rapid pupillary responses in the animal kingdom. We also describe the dependence of the degree of pupil constriction on the level of ambient illumination and show considerable variability between animals. Furthermore, both Sepia and Eledone lack a consensual light-evoked pupil response. Pupil dilation following darkness in Sepia is shown to be very variable, often occurring within a second but at other times taking considerably longer. This may be the result of extensive light-independent variations in pupil diameter in low levels of illumination

Pressure-control purge panel for automatic butt welding
Modification of a purge panel for use in an automatic butt weld reduces the drop in pressure between the regulators and the weld head and tube purge fitting. The invention affects air regulators for plants, regulating circuits for pneumatic valves, and automatic welding machines
The Superconducting Toroid for the New International AXion Observatory (IAXO)
IAXO, the new International AXion Observatory, will feature the most
ambitious detector for solar axions to date. Axions are hypothetical particles
which were postulated to solve one of the puzzles arising in the standard model
of particle physics, namely the strong CP (Charge conjugation and Parity)
problem. This detector aims at achieving a sensitivity to the coupling between
axions and photons of one order of magnitude beyond the limits of the current
detector, the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST). The IAXO detector relies on a
high-magnetic field distributed over a very large volume to convert solar
axions to detectable X-ray photons. Inspired by the ATLAS barrel and end-cap
toroids, a large superconducting toroid is being designed. The toroid comprises
eight, one meter wide and twenty one meters long racetrack coils. The assembled
toroid is sized 5.2 m in diameter and 25 m in length and its mass is about 250
tons. The useful field in the bores is 2.5 T while the peak magnetic field in
the windings is 5.4 T. At the operational current of 12 kA the stored energy is
500 MJ. The racetrack type of coils are wound with a reinforced Aluminum
stabilized NbTi/Cu cable and are conduction cooled. The coils optimization is
shortly described as well as new concepts for cryostat, cold mass, supporting
structure and the sun tracking system. Materials selection and sizing,
conductor, thermal loads, the cryogenics system and the electrical system are
described. Lastly, quench simulations are reported to demonstrate the system's
safe quench protection scheme.Comment: To appear in IEEE Trans. Appl. Supercond. MT 23 issue. arXiv admin

New Superconducting Toroidal Magnet System for IAXO, the International AXion Observatory
Axions are hypothetical particles that were postulated to solve one of the
puzzles arising in the standard model of particle physics, namely the strong CP
(Charge conjugation and Parity) problem. The new International AXion
Observatory (IAXO) will incorporate the most promising solar axions detector to
date, which is designed to enhance the sensitivity to the axion-photon coupling
by one order of magnitude beyond the limits of the current state-of-the-art
detector, the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST). The IAXO detector relies on a
high-magnetic field distributed over a very large volume to convert solar
axions into X-ray photons. Inspired by the successful realization of the ATLAS
barrel and end-cap toroids, a very large superconducting toroid is currently
designed at CERN to provide the required magnetic field. This toroid will
comprise eight, one meter wide and twenty one meter long, racetrack coils. The
system is sized 5.2 m in diameter and 25 m in length. Its peak magnetic field
is 5.4 T with a stored energy of 500 MJ. The magnetic field optimization
process to arrive at maximum detector yield is described. In addition,
materials selection and their structure and sizing has been determined by force
and stress calculations. Thermal loads are estimated to size the necessary
cryogenic power and the concept of a forced flow supercritical helium based
cryogenic system is given. A quench simulation confirmed the quench protection
scheme.Comment: Accepted for publication in Adv. Cryo. Eng. (CEC/ICMC 2013 special

Revised April 1991 by Grant E.M. Matheke, Patricia J. Wagner, and Patricia S. Holloway;
Reprinted by Cooperative Extension Service, University of Alaska Fairbanks, and U.S.D.A. Cooperating. Publication 300C-00235A technique for growing high-yielding, everbearing strawberries with
clear polyethylene (plastic) mulch and row covers has been developed at
the Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station at Fairbanks. This
technique eliminates the long delay from planting to fruiting that occurs
with other culture systems and it has created an interest in commercial
production and an increased home-garden effort in Alaska.
The production system involves planting nursery plants each season as
early as possible through clear polyethylene mulch, using row covers for
the early part o f the season. Using this technique, harvest begins about
July 15 and extends until freeze-up, com pared to a production season
from about July 10 to July 28 for hardy types o f strawberries such as
Toklat or Pioneer. This system produces clean fruit, easy to pick and
relatively free from fruit rot. The harvest season can be extended in the
fall by again using the row covers for frost protection
