We present measurements of the properties central radio source in M87 using Event Horizon Telescope data obtained during 2017 campaign. develop and fit geometric crescent models (asymmetric rings with interior brightness depressions) two independent sampling algorithms that consider distinct representations visibility data. show family is statistically preferred over other comparably complex we explore. calibrate model parameters general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) emission...
We present the first Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) images of M87, using observations from April 2017 at 1.3 mm wavelength. These show a prominent ring with diameter ~40 micro-as, consistent size and shape lensed photon orbit encircling "shadow" supermassive black hole. The is persistent across four observing nights shows enhanced brightness in south. To assess reliability these results, we implemented two-stage imaging procedure. In stage, teams, each blind to others' work, produced M87 both...
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has mapped the central compact radio source of elliptical galaxy M87 at 1.3 mm with unprecedented angular resolution. Here we consider physical implications asymmetric ring seen in 2017 EHT data. To this end, construct a large library models based on general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations and synthetic images produced by ray tracing. We compare observed visibilities confirm that is consistent earlier predictions strong gravitational...
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) array that comprises millimeter- and submillimeter-wavelength telescopes separated by distances comparable to the diameter of Earth. At nominal operating wavelength ~1.3 mm, EHT angular resolution (lambda/D) ~25 micro-as, which sufficient resolve nearby supermassive black hole candidates on spatial temporal scales correspond their event horizons. With this capability, scientific goals are probe general...
We present the calibration and reduction of Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) 1.3mm radio wavelength observations supermassive black hole candidate at center galaxy M87 quasar 3C 279, taken during 2017 April 5-11 observing campaign. These global very long baseline interferometric include for first time highly sensitive Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA); reaching an angular resolution 25 micro-as, with characteristic sensitivity limits ~1 mJy on baselines to ALMA ~10 other...
The nearby radio galaxy M87 is a prime target for studying black hole accretion and jet formation1,2. Event Horizon Telescope observations of in 2017, at wavelength 1.3 mm, revealed ring-like structure, which was interpreted as gravitationally lensed emission around central hole3. Here we report images obtained 2018, 3.5 showing that the compact core spatially resolved. High-resolution imaging shows structure [Formula: see text] Schwarzschild radii diameter, approximately 50% larger than...
A basic idea to solve quantum systems using classical methods such as the transfer-matrix and Pfaffian or Bethe Ansatz is explained on basis of ST-transformation. Some useful theorems are proven concerning thermodynamic limit infinite Trotter number. simple application this general method given.
SUMMARY This paper presents a comprehensive review of the policy and practice community-based forest management (CBFM) in Philippines over last three decades - one longest experiences Asia. As form structural reform, CBFM may be viewed as radical progressive. It replaced century-old corporate mode utilization where benefits flowed directly to an elite minority attempts institutionalize more “people-oriented,” approach management. However, progress on ground terms achieving CBFM's goals...
The global to local-level importance of Indonesian forests for the environment and development is now very well documented. However, how govern these achieve diverse and, at times, conflicting interests still an open question. Hutan Kemasyarakatan (HKm) a community forest (CF) that being implemented contribute local while creating sufficient incentives conserving forest. Previous studies have demonstrated potential HKm conserve forests. This study analyzed changes in five major types capital...

A study was carried out to assess the water quality situation of groundwater sources in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Groundwater has remained be a major supply source for population 1.5 million at present valley. The focus this evaluate extent and contamination. Water sampling selected deep wells shallow sources. level pollution evaluated by comparing results with WHO guidelines. problems dug wells, hand pumps spouts were found elevated nitrate mercury contents. located on central aquifer have...
Despite its low emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHGs), Sri Lanka is considered as a vulnerable small island nation under climate change. Agroforestry, which uniquely integrates trees into land use systems, has historically contributed to change adaptation in Lanka. Hence, the promotion agroforestry practices vitally important enhance resiliency country future This paper reviews literature and discusses adverse impacts on agriculture forestry, effects adapting changes, policies for promoting...
Abstract This article reviews the process of decentralization in forest management developing countries South and Southeast Asia. Decentralized (DFM) is an alternative to centralized or state-regulated management, which transfers use rights local communities. It a gradual change started 1970s when social forestry programs involving people's participation were first attempted expanded 1990s DFM policies enacted recognize traditional has no single definition, depending instead on state's...
As a strategy of social development, the Bangladeshi government has attached highest priority to participatory forestry (PF) since early 1980s. In this article, we examine impacts PF on livelihoods ethnic people, drawing empirical data from three villages involved in two projects. The projects have varying participating villagers. Disparities income and forest conditions study were traced factors including production technologies (agroforestry), top-down approach project management, failure...
This study was conducted to investigate the historical management system of village common forests (VCF) in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Bangladesh and observe current issues related their sustainability. The on context based secondary information establish linkages VCF development CHT. Field visits four Bandarban Districts were also cross check collected from sources status pattern these through semi-structured interviews, group discussion, key-informant interviews biodiversity assessment....
This article discusses the state of a community forestry program in protection forest Indonesia, which has been running for almost two decades. We found that did not achieve its objective mainly because frequent changes regulations. There are also activities such as: measuring and mapping working area boundaries, drawing up work plan, planting, maintenance security, paying royalties to those who harvest resources, submitting annual reports on land use district government head, have worked as...
This study follows the introduction of community forestry in Bangladesh and uses secondary information sources to analyze its effectiveness as a means fostering sustainable forest management. We found that current management practices have evolved from an emphasis primarily on production more people-centric model designed support conservation resources. First introduced late 1970's, has proven successful for reforestation, afforestation, diversifying economic opportunities rural communities....
The potentialities of agroforestry are generally investigated through their biophysiological phenomena, cost—benefit analysis, and possible impact upon poverty reduction. There have been inadequate studies on the actual impacts intervention small landholders farmers' attitudes toward these programs. Drawing findings an empirical study, this article explores effects small-scale upland community development in Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh. More specifically, study clarifies merits...
