  • Tetraploid wheat species from Ethiopia hold ample genetic variation, which could provide a source for improvement of wheat. A total of 196 Ethiopian tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum spp.) accessions, including 174 landraces and 22 improved cultivars, were evaluated at Sinana and Debrezeit to assess morphological variation, genetic advance, heritability and correlation based on 11 phenotypic traits. Except for spike length, highly significant variation (P < 0.001) among genotypes for all traits was observed. The observed mean and range values of the phenotypic traits revealed high variability in the accessions. Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) values were high for grain yield, biomass yield and harvest index. Seed yield showed highly significant (P < 0.001) negative correlation with days to booting and days to maturity and positive correlation with all traits. The estimates of heritability (H2) for grain yield and the number of spikelets per spike respectively ranged from 41.78 to 84.62%. The genetic advance as a percentage of mean was low for the number of seeds per spikelet, days to booting and days to maturity; intermediate for plant height, thousand kernel weight and spike length and high for the number of spikelets per spike, the number of effective tillers per plant, grain yield, biomass yield and harvest index, respectively. The number of spikelets per spike gave a high value of genetic advance and heritability implying high genetic gain from its selection.

  • The progressive destabilisation of the incompressible flow in a cubical cavity driven by a constant shear stress is investigated numerically. To that end, one of the square faces of the cube is subjected to a constant shear stress parallel to two opposite edges of that face. The three-dimensional steady basic flow loses its mirror symmetry through a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation leading to a pair of steady stable non-symmetric flow states that are antisymmetric to each other. Upon increase of the strength of the driving, these non-symmetric equilibria become unstable via a Hopf bifurcation resulting in two limit cycles. The bifurcations are investigated using classical linear stability analyses as well as nonlinear simulations. Upon a further increase of the driving shear stress, the limit cycles destabilise through bursts triggering a complex interplay between the unstable equilibria. The transition to turbulence resembles the Pomeau–Manneville scenario.

  • The Mediation of Autocratic Regimes: How Local Officials Shaped Authoritarian Systems in Rwanda and Sudan

  • Local state officials impact authoritarian systems through the mediation they perform. Desrosiers and Mahé argue that these local functionaries fulfill a number of mediating functions, including translating and representing authoritarian systems at the local level. By enacting these two roles, however, local officials do not straightforwardly reproduce the system. Instead, their interpretations and choices fundamentally influence the imprint authoritarianism has on society, from how the regime is experienced at the local level to its groundings and resilience. They demonstrate this argument by looking at pre-genocide Rwanda and Sudan under President Omar al-Bashir.
