TL;DR: In this article, the acceleration of upgoing electron beams by quasi-static parallel electric fields was detected in the winter auroral zone, and the most energetic ion conics were found coincident with these beams, in agreement with the model for trapped conics.
Abstract: Observations of plasma particles and fields by the FAST satellite find evidence of acceleration of intense upgoing electron beams by quasi-static parallel electric fields. The beam characteristics include a broad energy spectrum with peak energies between 100 eV and 5 keV, perpendicular temperatures less than 1 eV, and fluxes greater than 109/cm²sec. Diverging electrostatic shocks associated with the beams have integrated potentials that match the beam energy. These beams are found in regions of downward Birkeland current and account for the total field-aligned current when they are present. The most energetic ion conics in the auroral zone are found coincident with these beams, in agreement with the model for “trapped” conics. The measured particle densities of the electron beams and associated ion conics are approximately equal and typically range from 1 to 10 cm−3, with no evidence for additional cold density. The beams are seen frequently at altitudes between 2000 and 4000 km in the winter auroral zone. Their probability of occurrence has a strong dependence on season and altitude and is similar to that for upgoing ion beams in the adjacent upward current regions. This similarity suggests that the density and scale height of ionospheric ions play an important role in the formation of both types of beams.

TL;DR: There is evidence that some adults who claim to have recovered memories of sexual abuse recall actual events that occurred in childhood, according to interviews with women with documented histories of sexual victimization in childhood.
Abstract: This study provides evidence that some adults who claim to have recovered memories of sexual abuse recall actual events that occurred in childhood. One hundred twenty-nine women with documented histories of sexual victimization in childhood were interviewed and asked about abuse history. Seventeen years following the initial report of the abuse, 80 of the women recalled the victimization. One in 10 women (16% of those who recalled the abuse) reported that at some time in the past they had forgotten about the abuse. Those with a prior period of forgetting—the women with “recovered memories”—were younger at the time of abuse and were less likely to have received support from their mothers than the women who reported that they had always remembered their victimization. The women who had recovered memories and those who had always remembered had the same number of discrepancies when their accounts of the abuse were compared to the reports from the early 1970s.

TL;DR: Examining the relationships among interfirm IT integration, intrafirm IT Integration, lean/JIT practices, and lead-time performance using data from IndustryWeek's Census of Manufacturers provides several new insights on the relationship between IT integration and lean/ JIT practices.
Abstract: Managers seeking to improve lead-time performance are challenged by how to balance resources and investments between process improvement achieved through lean/just-in-time (JIT) practices and information technology (IT) deployment. However, extant literature provides little guidance on this question. Motivated by both practical importance and lack of academic research, this article examines empirically the relationships among interfirm IT integration, intrafirm IT integration, lean/JIT practices, and lead-time performance using data from IndustryWeek's Census of Manufacturers (IndustryWeek, 2006). The results provide several new insights on the relationship between IT integration and lean/JIT practices. First, the study confirms that implementing lean/JIT practices significantly reduces lead time. Second, lean/JIT practices mediate the influence of IT integration on lead-time performance. This suggests that process improvements that result from lean/JIT practices are important contributors to the success of IT integration. Even companies that have experienced success in reducing lead time through lean/JIT practices may benefit from IT integration practices such as those embodied in enterprise resource planning systems. The findings provide managers with empirical evidence and a theoretical framework on the balance between lean/JIT and IT for effecting improvement in lead-time performance, thus offering practical guidance on this important question. Future research is needed to extend the lean/JIT practices in this study to supply chain practices and explore the relationship between supply chain practices and IT integration.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the in-transit interaction between two closely launched coronal mass ejections resulted in the extreme enhancement of the ejecta magnetic field observed near 1 AU at STEREO A and the formation of the extreme storm showed striking novel features.
Abstract: Space weather refers to dynamic conditions on the Sun and in the space environment of the Earth, which are often driven by solar eruptions and their subsequent interplanetary disturbances. It has been unclear how an extreme space weather storm forms and how severe it can be. Here we report and investigate an extreme event with multi-point remote-sensing and in situ observations. The formation of the extreme storm showed striking novel features. We suggest that the in-transit interaction between two closely launched coronal mass ejections resulted in the extreme enhancement of the ejecta magnetic field observed near 1 AU at STEREO A. The fast transit to STEREO A (in only 18.6 h), or the unusually weak deceleration of the event, was caused by the preconditioning of the upstream solar wind by an earlier solar eruption. These results provide a new view crucial to solar physics and space weather as to how an extreme space weather event can arise from a combination of solar eruptions.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of seven global hydrological models (GHMs) were used to quantify the impact of projected global climate change on IWD on currently irrigated areas by the end of this century, and the resulting uncertainties arising from both theGHMs and climate projections.
Abstract: Crop irrigation is responsible for 70% of humanity’swater demand. Since the late 1990s, the expansion ofirrigated areas has been tapering off, and this trend isexpected to continue in the future. Future irrigation waterdemand (IWD) is, however, subject to large uncertaintiesdue to anticipated climate change. Here, we use a set ofseven global hydrological models (GHMs) to quantify theimpact of projected global climate change on IWD oncurrently irrigated areas by the end of this century, and toassess the resulting uncertainties arising from both theGHMs and climate projections. The resulting ensembleprojections generally show an increasing trend in futureIWD, but the increase varies substantially depending onthe degree of global warming and associated regionalprecipitation changes. Under the highest greenhouse gasemission scenario (RCP8.5), IWD will considerably increaseduring the summer in the Northern Hemisphere (>20% by2100), and the present peak IWD is projected to shift onemonth or more over regions where ≥80% of the globalirrigated areas exist and 4 billion people currently live.Uncertaint ies arising from GHMs and global climatemodels (GCMs) are large, with GHM uncertainty dominatingthroughout the century and with GCM uncertaintysubstantially increasing from the midcentury, indicating thechoice of GHM outweighing by far the uncertainty arisingfrom the choi ce of GCM and associated emission scenario.
