Quantifying Supernovae-driven Multiphase Galactic Outflows

Galactic outflows are observed everywhere in star-forming disk galaxies and are critical for galaxy formation. Supernovae (SNe) play the key role in driving the outflows, but there is no consensus as to how much energy, mass, and metal they can launch out of the disk. We perform 3D, high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations to study SNe-driven outflows from stratified media. Assuming the SN rate scales with gas surface density Σgas as in the Kennicutt–Schmidt relation, we find that the mass loading factor, ηm, defined as the mass outflow flux divided by the star formation surface density, decreases with increasing Σgas as . Approximately Σgas ≲ 50 M⊙ pc−2 marks when ηm ≳ 1. About 10%–50% of the energy and 40%–80% of the metals produced by SNe end up in the outflows. The tenuous hot phase (T > 3 × 105 K), which fills 60%–80% of the volume at the midplane, carries the majority of the energy and metals in the outflows. We discuss how various physical processes, including the vertical distribution of SNe, photoelectric heating, external gravitational field, and SN rate, affect the loading efficiencies. The relative scale height of gas and SNe is a very important factor in determining the loading efficiencies.
Using assessment submission data to provide timely and contextualised academic support

While it is well accepted that integrating academic skills into the curricula is best practice, in reality it is not always accepted by institutions. Such integration involves both contextualisation and appropriate timing. This presents real issues for adjunct academic language and learning centres that are centralised, rather than part of a specific faculty or course. To some degree, the issues arising from this disjoint can be minimised by the use of university-wide sub-mission data indicating when students are required to submit their assessments. The overall objective of this paper was to identify how submission data could be used to contextualise and embed academic support services and improve the availability of those services during peak times. Specifically, it used a mixed methods approach to: a)investigate how assessment submission data could be employed to provide better timed and contextualised workshops; and b) how that data could be applied to predict the demand on an academic drop-in centre. The results of the study were twofold: first, that assessment submission data can be used to inform when and how contextualised academic support should be provided. Secondly, that assessment submission data can be used to inform when students require academic support services, and consequently staff those services appropriately.
Connectivity between land, water, and people: integrating process concepts and assessment evidence across disciplines for co-design of soil erosion solutions

Soil resources in East Africa are being rapidly depleted by erosion, threatening food-, water- and livelihood security in the region. Here we demonstrate how integration of evidence from natural and social sciences has supported community-led change in land management in an agro-pastoral community in northern Tanzania impacted by soil erosion. Drone survey data and geospatial analysis of erosion extent and risk, supported by communication of ‘process’ and ‘structural’ hydrological connectivity, was integrated with local environmental knowledge within participatory community workshops. Rill density data were compared between cultivated plots that had been converted from pastoral land recently and more established plots where slow-forming terrace boundaries were more established. Slope length and connectivity between plots were key factors in development of rill networks. At the two extremes, recently converted land had a rill density ca 14 times greater than equivalent established slow forming terraces. Direction of cultivation, regardless of plot boundary orientation with contours, also enhanced rill development. Evidence of this critical time window of hillslope-scale rill erosion risk during early phases of slow-forming terrace development successfully underpinned and catalysed a community-led tree planting and grass seed sowing programme to mitigate soil erosion by water. This was grounded in an implicit community understanding of the need for effective governance mechanisms at both community and District levels, to enable community-led actions to be implemented effectively. The study demonstrates the wide-reaching impact of integrated and interdisciplinary ‘upslope-downslope’ thinking to tackle global soil erosion challenges.
HOW CONGESTION PRICING CAN INCREASE TRAFFIC VOLUMES

A combination of two dynamic models is presented to explore optimal congestion pricing in a multi-destination network. Vickrey’s bottleneck model (1969) deals with traffic demand while traffic operations are described by the LWR traffic flow model (Lighthill and Whitham, 1955 and Richards, 1956). The proposed combined LWR bottleneck model determines both user equilibrium and system optimum network conditions. It provides some surprising insights in the mechanisms of congestion. Congestion may be avoided by imposing an optimal dynamic toll. This has a significant positive impact on the performance of a network. A paradox appears where an optimal toll even lowers total trip costs and increases the traffic volume, without introducing congestion. Analysis with the combined LWR bottleneck model shows that congestion pricing can be even more beneficial than accepted until now.
Enhancing Consumer and Carer Participation in Victoria's Integrated Cancer Services

The Victorian Department of Human Services (DHS) launched A Cancer Services Framework for Victoria (Cancer Services Framework) in November 2003. This Framework outlines an integrated model for metropolitan and regional cancer services, and aims to reduce unacceptable variations in care across Victoria. As part of the work to implement the Cancer Services Framework, the Ministerial Taskforce for Cancer commissioned Health Issues Centre to develop a strategy for effective participation of consumers, carers and community members in the cancer service reforms. This article provides a summary of the process to develop the strategy and key lessons learnt through consultations with consumers, carers and service providers.

4. DATA REPORT: ANISOTROPY OF MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY STUDY OF QUARTERNARY SEDIMENTS FROM THE BLAKE AND BLAKE-BAHAMA OUTER RIDGES, WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC

Sediments from Sites 1057 and 1061 of Ocean Drilling Program Leg 172 on the Blake Outer Ridge exhibit nearly isotropic magnetic susceptibility. Resolving the degree of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility proved difficult in many samples because of the generally weak magnetic susceptibility of the sediments relative to the noise level of the susceptibility meters used. Lineation varies from 1.0 to 1.013 and foliation varies from 1.0 to 1.08 in the samples that pass rejection criteria. In general the foliation is better resolved than the lineation, particularly at Site 1061, where the foliation exhibits long-term trends that mimic the mean susceptibility. The changes in the foliation at this site are likely the result of changes in the magnetic mineralogy of the sediment. The poorly developed or absent magnetic fabric in the sediments overall can be attributed to high carbonate concentrations and to a circulation regime that was diffuse or with currents too weak to effectively align magnetic particles.
Early and non-consensual sexual debut among Chinese men who have sex with men: a cross-sectional study

Background: Early sexual debut and non-consensual sex have been linked to higher sexual risk and STI infection in adulthood among men who have sex with men (MSM) in high-income countries. This study aimed to examine early and non-consensual sexual debut among Chinese MSM and to evaluate factors associated with early sexual debut and non-consensual sex. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016 among Chinese men assigned male sex at birth, ≥18 years old, and who had ever engaged in anal sex with a man. Participants answered questions regarding socio-demographics, condomless sex, age at anal sexual debut with a man, and whether the first anal sex was consensual. Factors associated with an early sexual debut (<18 years old) and non-consensual sex at sexual debut were evaluated. We defined early sexual debut as having anal sex with another man at 17 years old or younger, and the participants were asked whether their first male-to-male anal sex was non-consensual. Results: Overall, 2031 eligible men completed the survey. The mean age of sexual debut was 20.7 (SD=4.3) years old. 17.6% (358/2031) of men reported early sexual debut, and 5.0% (101/2031) reported a non-consensual sexual debut. The early sexual debut was associated with having more male sexual partners (adjusted OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.06–1.15) and condomless anal sex in the last three months (AOR=1.71, 95% CI 1.34-2.18). MSM whose sexual debut was non-consensual were more likely to have condomless anal sex (AOR=1.76, 95% CI 1.17-2.66), and to have reported an early sexual debut (AOR=2.72, 95% CI 1.75-4.21). Conclusions: Many Chinese MSM reported early sexual debut and non-consensual sex, both of which are associated with sexual risk behaviors and drive STI transmission. These findings highlight the need for designing tailored interventions for MSM who experienced early sexual debut and non-consensual sex at debut.
SGC-CK2-1: The First Selective Chemical Probe for the Pleiotropic Kinase CK2

Building upon a wealth of published knowledge surrounding the pyrazolopyrimidine scaffold, we designed a small library around the most selective small molecule CK2 inhibitors reported. Through extensive evaluation of this library we identified inhibitor 24 (SGC-CK2-1) as a potent, selective, and cell-active CK2 chemical probe. Remarkably, despite years of research pointing to CK2 as a key driver in cancer, our probe did not elicit an antiproliferative phenotype in cell lines tested. While many publications have attempted tocharacterize CK2 function, CK2 biology is complex and a high-quality chemical tool like SGC-CK2-1 will aid in connecting CK2 functions to phenotypes.
Forecasting price index of finger millet (Eleusine coracana) in India under policy interventions

Millets are the major substitute for cereals such as rice and wheat. For developing country like India, millets hold immense importance as the cost of production is low and has high nutritional values. Various policy interventions are made by government of India from time to time to popularise its consumption and production. Few major policy interventions were made in last decade and inclusion of coarse cereals under Food Security Bill is one among them. Keeping this in mind, the present study was carried out at ICAR- Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute, New Delhi during 2018 to know the impact of policy interventions on the price index of Ragi. Further, we have introduced these interventions in the model using structural break analysis. The volatile Ragi price index series were modelled and forecasted using popular class of Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedastic (GARCH) models and its asymmetric extensions. The results indicated improvement in modelling and forecasting performance of the models after incorporation of the policy interventions. Study has empirically highlighted the positive impact of policies introduced.
Governance, Growth and Equity: Reflections from Indian Higher Education

Higher education is now widely accepted as a foremost instrument for fostering economic growth. The Indian higher education system is the largest in the world in terms of the number of institutions and the second largest in enrollments. About 29.6 million students are currently enrolled in higher education institutions in India, but the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) is still very low about 21.2%. There are around 712 universities and 36,671 colleges in India. This mammoth network of higher education institutions includes a large private sector that has emerged explicitly and outsized during last two decades. The regulators associated with governance of higher education are overlapping and entangled across various ministries and regulatory bodies. Despite the various intervention measures to address equity objectives, disparity in access as well as participation still exists in terms of gender, ethnic groups, and economic criteria and by location. The present paper attempts to delineate and identify the advent and growth of Indian higher education besides discourses on governance and equity.

Energy Transition Modelling in Iran: An Evidence from the ARDL Bound Testing Method

The challenge of environmental pollution and climate change have made countries to develop energy transition progress to move from non-renewable energy sources towards renewable ones. This paper seeks to consider energy transformation process and analyze its pattern in Iran by modeling through the ARDL bounding testing method over the period of 1993-2018. The empirical estimations depicted that in the long-run economic growth and inflation rate negatively impact on energy transformation of Iran, while increase in carbon dioxide emissions and appreciation of Iran’s national currency accelerate the energy transition process in Iran. Regarding the short-run relationship, the major results represented an evidence of positive impact of exchange rate on Iran’s energy transition process, while the other variables have negative coefficient. As a major concluding remark, for the case of Iran, the findings prove that the influential impacts of explanatory variables on energy transformation are stronger in long-run rather than in short-run. Therefore, the presence of efficient long-run energy planning is recommended.

Evaluation of Efficacy of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy as an Adjuvant Therapy in Healing of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Background and Aim: Foot ulcer is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. The life time risk ofdeveloping foot ulcer is 25 % with an annual incidence of 2-3% and may result in limb amputation if leftuntreated. Diabetic foot ulcers are conventionally treated with wound debridement and off loading. Properwound healing is uncertain in conservative management of these ulcers. Pulsed Electromagnetic Fieldtherapy is a new modality that interacts at various steps in wound healing. This study aims at evaluating theefficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy as an adjunct therapy in diabetic foot ulcers. Method andmaterials: Thirty patients with mean duration of Diabetes 7.8 ±1.47 yrs, mean duration of foot ulcer 4.9±1.2months with Wagner’s grade 1 and 2 were subjected to Pulsed electromagnetic field for 45 min/day for 30days Statistical Analysis: Data was analysed using student paired t -test Results: The patients showed overall66% ±15% reduction in the wound surface area. Less than 50 % reduction is reported in 2 of the patients.About 50-59% reduction is noted in 6 patients, 11 patients showed 60-69% reduction, 7 patients showed 70-79% reduction, 2 patients more than 90% reduction and 2 patients showed 80-89% reduction in the woundarea. None of them reported any side effects. P value of <0.05 was taken to be significant. Discussion andconclusion: Significant reduction in wound surface area observed could be due to Pulsed ElectromagneticField therapy that helped in healing of tissues, improved circulation and reduced inflammation. Thus PEMFcan be an effective and safe adjuvant therapy for treating diabetic foot ulcers.
Pricing in the sharing economy: a hedonic pricing model applied to Airbnb listings

ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of a variety of variables on the rates published for Airbnb listings in five large metropolitan areas in Canada. The researchers applied a hedonic pricing model to 15,716 Airbnb listings. As expected, the results show that physical characteristics, location, and host characteristics significantly impact price. Interestingly, more reviews are associated with a drop in price. This information is useful to hosts who are forming a pricing strategy for their listings as well as for Airbnb, who needs to support them. The paper raises important questions about pricing in the sharing economy and suggests avenues for future research in this area.
Promiscuous intimacies

Casual sex has become a cultural commonplace since it was named in the 1960s and later became associated with the US college sex phenomenon of “hooking up”. However, contemporary accounts of this sexual practice are curiously lacking in historical perspective. This article explores this modern history, both before and after uncommitted, non-romantic, sexual encounters – sex for sex's sake – were named as casual sex. It agues that studies that contrast the increased “sexual possibilities” of hookup sex to the assumed restrictive practices of an earlier era distort both the restrictions of the earlier period and the freedoms of the latter.
Optimal Routing in Deterministic Queues in Tandem

In this paper we address the problem of routing a stream of customers in two parallel networks of queues in tandem with deterministic service times in order to minimize the average response time of the whole system. We show that the optimal routing is a Sturmian word which density depends on the decomposition in continuous fraction of the maximum service time on each route. In order to do this we study the output process of deterministic queues when the input process is Sturmian.
Graduate education in Sub-Saharan Africa: prospects and challenges

In many respects, the development of postgraduate studies has been held hostage to the growing demand to expand undergraduate programs, which have consumed limited university resources. Thus, the lack of graduate programs is part of the reason for the shortage of faculty members. This article offers an examination of some of the challenges facing graduate education in Sub-Saharan Africa, traces the decline in higher education in much of Africa, describes problems hindering quality graduate education, discusses the need to recreate the culture of research that existed earlier, and makes some suggestions about ways to promote and expand high quality graduate education on a regional basis. The article suggests that the short-run major efforts to expand graduate studies should focus on existing quality graduate programs and give them a regional focus, however the primary focus in developing graduate programs must be on high quality.
