Stability Theory of Synchronized Motion in Coupled-Oscillator Systems _ IV-- Instability of Synchronized Chaos and New Intermittency -

A coupled·chaos system consisting of two subsystems, which is also derived by the three mode truncation in a spatially continuous system, is studied immediately after the instability point of the synchronized chaos. The system turns out to exhibit two types of intermittency, one is similar to the tangential type and the other in a new one, depending on the fluctuation characteristics of local expansion rates of adjacent trajectories in the synchronized chaos. In the new intermittency, the temporal evolution of the difference between state variables is characterized by quiescent regions abruptly inserted by bursts which are temporally highly localized. Its probability density is found to obey approximately an inverse power law, and its power spectrum is observed to exhibit the (V-I law in a certain low frequency region.

The genomic makeup of the European sardine was further compared to that of other teleosts, including the closely related clupeid, the Atlantic herring [14]. As a proof of principle, we selected the LC-PUFA biosynthesis, a metabolic pathway accounting for the production of omega-3 fatty acid in ﬁsh [15], and characterized key genes with well-established roles within these pathways [3,16]. sardine, representing an essential resource for their effective conservation, management, and sustainable exploitation.
Prototype of a low-cost 3D breast ultrasound imaging system

— This work describes a setup of the new acquisition system for 3D ultrasound images (i.e. B-mode) for breast tomography. Since premature and precise breast lesions diagnoses turn out in treatment more efficient and save lives, we are looking for a more precise, less painful exams and dose reduction for the patient. Therefore, a low cost scanner mechanism was built aiming to accommodate breasts under water while patient is laid down on a bed in which a robotic arm guides the ultrasound probe to acquire 2D images. Then 3D image is reconstructed using the 2D images due to render the mammary volume searching for lesions. The low cost scanner was built using a regular ultrasound machine, linear probe and major controls made by an Arduino Uno. We compared the acquired phantom images with gold standard images for mammary tissues diagnostics, i.e. Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Images. This study was evaluated using a paraffin-gel and mineral oil control phantom. Results show that the provided module is convicting enough to be used in local hospital as the next step of this study.
Growth and Yield Response of Maize (Zea mays L.) To Different Weed Control Methods in the Western Highlands of Cameroon

Weed control is an important agronomic practice that improves growth and maximizes yield in maize. An experiment was carried out to investigate the ‘effect of different weed control methods on the growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in the western highlands of Cameroon. The work was carried out during the 2017/2018 main cropping season from the 14th of March to the 14th of July at the Institute of Agricultural Research for Development (IRAD) Bambui experimental field. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and replicated three times. The experiment comprised of seven treatments: weedy check or control (T1), constant hand hoeing (T2), delay hand hoeing (T3), pre-emergence herbicide application of Atrazine 90 DF ( 0.9 kg ha-1) (T4), post-emergence herbicide application of Ultramais 100 SC (1.9 litre ha-1) (T5), pre- herbicide application of Atrazine 90 DF ( 0.9 kg ha-1) + Ultramais 100 SC (1.9 litre ha-1) (T6) and delay post-emergence herbicide application of Ultramais 100 SC (1.9 litre ha-1) (T7). The white maize variety CHC 201 (“KASAI”) was used during the experiment and sown in plot sizes of 4 m x 5 m with a planting density of 80cm by 50cm with 2 plants per station with the aim of achieving a plant population of 50,000 plants ha-1. All agronomic practices were followed from planting to harvesting. The data recorded were plant height, number of green leaves per plant, leaf area, stem girth, days to 50% tasseling, days to 50% silking, ear height, ear length, ear girth, number of gain rows per ear, number of gains per ear, 1000 grain weight and grain yield. The data collected were analyzed with the aid of STATGRAPHICS Plus 5.0 Software and ANOVA was run to find the differences between the various treatments. The highest 1000 grain weight (314.13g) came from the pre-emergence plus post-emergence herbicide application treatment and did not differ significantly (P˃0.05) from the constant hand hoeing treatment (307.83g). The lowest 1000 grain weight (234.67g) was seen in the weedy check treatment. The constant hand hoeing had the highest grain yield (6.27 ton ha-1) and this did not differ significantly (P˃0.05) from the pre-emergence plus post-emergence herbicide application treatment (6.07 ton ha-1). The lowest grain yield (3.18 ton ha-1) was seen in the weedy check treatment. From the study, the pre-emergence plus post-emergence herbicide application may be recommended for increasing maize yield particularly in the case of high scale production.
New lambda6cm observations of the Cygnus Loop

Radio continuum and polarization observations of the entire Cygnus Loop at 6cm wavelength were made with the Urumqi 25m telescope. The 6cm map is analysed together with recently published maps from the Effelsberg 100m telescope at 21cm and 11cm. The integrated flux density of the Cygnus Loop at 6cm is 90+/-9Jy, which implies a spectral index of -0.40+/-0.06 being consistent with that of Uyaniker et al. (2004) in the wavelength range up to 11cm. This rules out any global spectral steepening up to 6cm. However, small spectral index variations in some regions of the source are possible, but there are no indications for any spectral curvature. The linear polarization data at 6cm show percentage polarizations up to 35% in some areas of the Cygnus Loop, exceeding those observed at 11cm. The Rotation Measure is around -21rad/m^2 in the southern area, which agrees with previous observations. However, the distribution of Rotation Measures is rather complex in the northern part of the Cygnus Loop, where the 21cm emission is totally depolarized. Rotation Measures based on 11cm and 6cm data are significantly larger than in the southern part. The difference in the polarization characteristic between the northern and southern part supports previous ideas that the Cygnus Loop consists of two supernova remnants.
Social inequalities and hospital admission for unintentional injury in young children in Scotland: A nationwide linked cohort study The Lancet Regional Health - Europe

Background: Unintentional injury is a leading cause of death/disability, with more disadvantaged children at greater risk. Understanding how inequalities vary by injury type, age, severity, and place of injury, can inform prevention. Methods: For all Scotland-born children 2009-2013 (n=195,184), hospital admissions for unintentional injury (HAUI) were linked to socioeconomic circumstances (SECs) at birth: area deprivation via the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), mother ' s occupational social class, parents ’ relationship status. HAUI was examined from birth- ﬁ ve, and during infancy. We examined HAUI frequency, severity, injury type, and injury location (home vs. elsewhere). We estimated relative inequalities using the relative indices of inequality (RII, 95% CIs), before and after adjusting for demographics and other non-mediating SECs. Findings: More disadvantaged children were at greater risk of any HAUI from birth- ﬁ ve, RII: 1 (cid:1) 59(1 (cid:1) 49-1 (cid:1) 70), 1 (cid:1) 74(1 (cid:1) 62-1 (cid:1) 86), 1 (cid:1) 97(1 (cid:1) 84-2 (cid:1) 12) for area deprivation, maternal occupational social class, and relationship status respectively. These attenuated after adjustment (1 (cid:1) 15 [1 (cid:1) 06-1 (cid:1) 24], 1.22 [1 (cid:1) 12-1 (cid:1) 33], 1.32 [1 (cid:1) 21-1 (cid:1) 44]). Inequalities were greater for severe (vs. non-severe), multiple (vs. one-off) and home (vs. other loca- tion) injuries. Similar patterns were seen in infancy, excluding SIMD-inequalities in falls, where infants living in more disadvantaged neighbourhoods were at lower risk (0 (cid:1) 79 [0 (cid:1) 62-1 (cid:1) 00]). After adjustment, reverse SIMD-gradients were also observed for all injuries and poisonings. Interpretation: Children living in more disadvantaged households are more likely to be injured across multi- ple dimensions of HAUI in Scotland. Upstream interventions which tackle family-level disadvantage may be most effective at reducing childhood HAUI.

Mass spectra in N=1 SQCD with additional fields. III

Considered is the N=1 SQCD-like theory with SU(N_c) colors and 0 >Lambda. The mass spectra of this Phi-theory (and its dual variant, the dPhi-theory) are calculated at different values of \mu_{Phi}/Lambda >>1 within the dynamical scenario which implies the (quasi)spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. It is shown that, under appropriate conditions, the seemingly heavy and dynamically irrelevant fields Phi 'return back' and there appear two additional generations of light Phi-particles with small masses \mu(Phi)<<Lambda. Also considered is the X-theory which is the N=2 SQCD with SU(N_c) colors and 0 >Lambda_2. The tight interrelations between these X and Phi-theories are described, in particular, the conditions under which they are equivalent.
ArticleTP53 Status

Lung cancer poses the greatest cancer-related death risk and males have poorer outcomes than females, for unknown reasons. Patient sex is not a biological variable considered in lung cancer standard of care. Correlating patient genetics with outcomes is predicted to open avenues for improved management. Using a bioinformatics approach across non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) subtypes, we identified where patient sex, mutation of the major tumor suppressor gene, Tumour protein P53 (TP53), and immune signatures stratified outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), among datasets of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We exposed sex and TP53 gene mutations as prognostic for LUAD survival. Longest survival in LUAD occurred among females with wild-type (wt) TP53 genes, high levels of immune infiltration and enrichment for pathway signatures of Interferon Gamma (INF-γ), Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF) and macrophages-monocytes. In contrast, poor survival in men with LUAD and wt TP53 genes corresponded with enrichment of Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGFB1, hereafter TGF-β) and wound healing signatures. In LUAD with wt TP53 genes, elevated gene expression of immune checkpoint CD274 (hereafter: PD-L1) and also protein 53 (p53) negative-regulators of the Mouse Double Minute (MDM)-family predict novel avenues for combined immunotherapies. LUSC is dominated by male smokers with TP53 gene mutations, while a minor population of TCGA LC patients with wt TP53 genes unexpectedly had the poorest survival, suggestive of a separate etiology. We conclude that advanced approaches to LUAD and LUSC therapy lie in the consideration of patient sex, TP53 gene mutation status and immune signatures.
Head-On Mergers of Systems Containing Gas

Several simple mergers between model galaxy clusters containing a mixture of gas and dark matter are examined, testing the coupling of the gas to the underlying collisionless material. The gas is shocked, irreversibly dissipating the energy fed into it by the collisionless component and forms a resolved constant-density core. For the dark matter, however, admixture of phase space vacuum is not very efficient and a constant-density core is not produced. In the final state the central gas has little residual kinetic energy, indicating that streaming motions do not help to support the gas.

WiMAX class AB and class E power amplifier design using equivalent capacitance concept

In this article, a linear class AB and nonlinear class E power amplifier for WiMAX application are designed using the concept of equivalent capacitance. This concept provides a straightforward way to design power amplifiers at microwave frequencies without recurring to cumbersome formulas or optimization processes intended to get the output power and efficiencies figures associated to these amplifier classes. Furthermore, the use of optimization algorithms may lead to another class of operation if the intrinsic waveforms are not screened. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2008.
Spectral Rotational Characterization of the Didymos System prior to the DART Impact

The smallest member of the Didymos binary near-Earth object system (Dimorphos) is the target of the DART/LICIACube mission, the first attempt to change the orbit of another celestial body via a kinetic impactor. It is important to characterize the unperturbed system prior to the DART impact. In this work we obtained, for the first time, spectral characterization of the system at several rotational phases from TNG+DOLORES in the visible range (0.34–0.81 μm). This is crucial in order to disentangle the primary and secondary bodies and highlight eventual dishomogeneities on their surfaces. We confirm that a subtle but persistent spectral variability appears, even when compared with data obtained from previous 2003 and 2019 apparitions. While the reason for such variability is still under investigation, our analysis hints that different compositions could play a role. Future observations during the brighter 2022 apparition in synergy with data obtained from LUKE on board LICIACube will definitely tackle this conundrum.
Revision of the fossil figitid wasps (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea) described from compression deposits during the first half of the 20th century

The holotypes of the Cenozoic fossil wasps attributed to the family Figitidae, which were described in the first half of the 20 th century by Charles T. Brues and Georg Statz from Florissant (USA) and Rott-am-Siebengebirge (Germany) sites respectively, have been restudied. The following new taxonomic changes are proposed: Palaeogronotoma ? sola (Brues) n. comb . , Aulacidea rotundata (Statz) n. comb . , A. plana (Statz) n. comb . and A. spiniger (Statz) n. comb . The three last species listed have changed their taxonomic position, as the extant genus Aulacidea belongs to family Cynipidae, not Figitidae as was considered originally in 1938. The revision of one Baltic amber fossil species originally described in 1919, shows that it has a unique set of characters within Cynipidae, allowing the description of a new tribe: Kinseycynipsini n. tribe . Taxonomical comments about other three fossil cynipid species are provided. The correct taxonomical placement of the figitid and cynipid fossil species described ca. one century ago is important for understanding the evolution of these two cynipoid families, which play an important ecological role in the extant terrestrial ecosystems. In addition, updated lists of figitid and cynipid fossil species known are also provided.
Structural evolution and skyrmionic phase diagram of the lacunar spinel

In the AB 4 Q 8 lacunar spinels, the electronic structure is described on the basis of inter- and intra-cluster interactions of tetrahedral B 4 clusters, and tuning these can lead to myriad fascinating electronic and magnetic ground states. In this work, we employ magnetic measurements, synchrotron X-ray and neutron scattering, and ﬁrst-principles electronic structure calculations to examine the coupling between structural and magnetic phase evolution in GaMo 4 Se 8 , including the emergence of a skyrmionic regime in the magnetic phase diagram. We show that the competition between two distinct Jahn-Teller distortions of the room temperature cubic F 43 m structure leads to the coexistence of the ground state R 3 m phase and a metastable Imm 2 phase. The magnetic properties of these two phases are computationally shown to be very different, with the Imm 2 phase exhibiting uniaxial fer-romagnetism and the R 3 m phase hosting a complex magnetic phase diagram including equilibrium N´eel–type skyrmions stable from nearly T =28K down to T =2K, the lowest measured temperature. The large change in magnetic behavior induced by a small structural distortion reveals that GaMo 4 Se 8 is an exciting candidate material for tuning unconventional magnetic properties via mechanical means.

1Department of Ophthalmology, 103 Military Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam; 2Department of Ophthalmology, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi, Vietnam; 3Department of Ophthalmology, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic orbital decompression in patients with Graves’ orbitopathy. Patients and Methods: This is a prospective study in Hanoi Medical University and a Military Hospital from December 2017 to December 2018. Twenty-eight orbits of fifteen patients were undergoing endoscopic orbital decompression for Graves’ orbitopathy. Indications for surgery were proptosis in twenty-two orbits and compressive optic neuropathy in six orbits. The outcome measures were proptosis reduction, visual acuity, visual field test and diplopia. Post-operative complications including cerebrospinal fluid leakage, haemorrhage, lacrimal duct impairment, worsening diplopia, sinusitis and cellulitis were collected. Results: The mean proptosis reduction was 2.23 mm. Visual acuity and medium deviation in the Humphrey visual field were significantly improved in four of six eyes with compressive optic neuropathy. There was one patient with intra-operative excessive bleeding which resolved without affecting visual outcome. Post-operatively, two patients developed a new onset of diplopia and two others worsened diplopia; three have already undergone successful strabismus surgery and moderate proptosis reduction. Conclusion: Endoscopic orbital decompression surgery was effectively and safely to manage compressive optic neuropathy of Graves’ orbitopathy and moderately reduce proptosis in a group of Vietnamese patients.
Comparison of Harmonic Scalpel Method With Conventional Procedure for Hospital Stay During Thyroidectomy among Pakistani Patients

Background: In general surgery thyroidectomy is the most common operative procedure. Hospital stay of patients after surgery depends on the method adopted during it. In conventional method, silk sutures are employed. Aim: To compare the hospital stayof Pakistani patients with multi-nodular goiter undergoing thyroidectomy with harmonic scalpel versus Conventional suture method. Study design : It was prospective randomized controlled trial. Methodology: All patients (60) underwent thyroidectomy for Multinodular goiter were distributed into two assemblies, In Group-A, harmonic scalpel ligatedall thyroid vessels.In Group-B, inferior middle and superior were tied using silk sutures3/0, and all other vessels were sutured by 4/0 or electro cauterized.The two groups were compared for post-operative hospital stay. Results: The mean hospital stayof patients in group-A was 2.9±0.8 days and in group-B was 4.2±0.7days with p value of 0.00002 which is statistically significant. Conclusion : Harmonic scalpel can be employed regularly as significant reduction in hospital stay was seenafter thyroidectomy.
A Numerical Simulation of the Landfall of Tropical Cyclones.

Abstract A GFDL tropical cyclone model was applied to simulate storm landfall. The numerical model is a three-dimensional, primitive equation model and has 11 vertical levels with four in the planetary boundary layer. The horizontal grid spacing is variable with finest resolution being 20 km near the center. This model was used successfully in the past to investigate the development of tropical cyclones over the ocean. In the present experiments, a simple situation is assumed where a mature tropical cyclone drifts onto flat land. In such a case, the landfall can he simulated by changing the position of the coastline in the computational domain rather than by moving the storm. As the coastline moves with a specified speed, the surface boundary conditions are altered at the shore from those for the ocean to those for the land by increasing the surface roughness length and also by suppressing the evaporation. Despite the simplicity and idealization of the experiments, the cyclone's filing rates are quite rea.
CHOOSING POLICY OVER VALENCE-A conjoint experiment on vote choice

In a representative democracy elections constitute the main channel for individuals to express their will. In each election voters are typically asked to make a single choice on the basis of multiple political preferences. The nature of this process entails that some voters need to choose between preferences. This choice process is suggested to have become more complicated due to recent years changes, with large structural transformations, proposing both an increased division in policy preferences and increased importance of short-term, consensually based, and personality related aspects of vote choice (valence voting). Earlier research remains inconclusive about the relative importance of positional and valence issues, and presents challenges both in determining the causal relationship of vote choice determinants and eliciting voters’ true preferences. This thesis contributes to filling this gap by conducting an original conjoint survey experiment. The study finds that individuals prefer parties with political positions close to their own as well as high valence party leaders. More interestingly though, participants seem to prioritise immigration issues and to be ready to trade-off their position on redistribution and gender equality. Last in the vote calculus rank participants valence issues. The results indicate that we, in a Swedish context, are not witnessing a strong influence of valence politics on vote choice but a shift in the main conflict dimensions that structure political competition. Pointing towards an increased importance for political parties to position themselves on the cultural dimension to attract voters.
