Isospin breaking in 2+1 flavor QCD+QED

The mass splittings in the pseudoscalar mesons are studied by combining 2+1 flavor domain wall fermion gauge configurations, generated by the RBC/UKQCD collaborations, and quenched, non-compact, lattice QED configurations. We extract the QED low energy constants in SU(3) partially quenched chiral perturbation theory, up to next-to-leading order, and determine the non-degenerate u, d and s quark masses. Systematic uncertainties due to chiral extrapolations are discussed. The chiral symmetry breaking of domain wall fermions on the lattice and its effect in partially quenched chiral perturbation theory, including QED effects, is also investigated.

1886 CLINICALCHEMISTRY,Vol.30, No. 11, 1984 the remaining channels have been checked against each other at the factory (1). However, we have noticed volume variations between the channels of these pipettes, owing to (e.g.) packaging material lodged inside the instrument, defective or damaged tip cones causing poor seating of tips, or buildup of material improperly drawn into the internal workings. To detect such channel-to-channel variations, we have developed a calibration system for these instruments. The College of American Pathologists requires periodic assessment of accuracy and reproducibility for all automatic pipetting devices used in the clinical laboratory (2). Initially, the delivery volume of one channel of the pipette is checked gravimetrically, by weighing water on an analytical balance and calculating the dispensed volume according to the density of water at the ambient temperature. Adjustments are made in this channel if the inaccuracy exceeds 2%. All channels of the instrument are then used to deliver a 50 mgtL solution of Evans Blue dye to the wells of a microtiter plate. The absorbance (A) at 630 nm is measured for each well on a microtiter plate reader (such as the Dynatech MR600; Dynatech Laboratories, Alexandria, VA 22314). The settings used are 630 nm for the sample wavelength, 490 nm for the reference wavelength. The absorbance of various volumes of the dye solution was measured and was found to change by 0.0085 A per microliter change in volume. A 1% error in a 50-. tL pipette would therefore result in about a 0.004-A change, which is easily detectable with a Dynatech MR600. With use of this concentration of dye, various volumes (25, 50, 100, and 200 L) may be evaluated on the spectrophotometer with the same dye solution. The multichannel pipette is used to ifil the first four rows of a microtiter plate. For each single colunm of wells, the mean A and standard deviation can be calculated, and the derived CVs are a measure of the reproducibility of each channel. The mean A value for each channel is compared with that for the gravimetrically calibrated channel. The percentage difference in mean A between the calibrated channel and unknown channel will be the percentage difference in volume and will be a measure of the accuracy. Example: The average A for the gravimetrically calibrated channel with a 100-FL delivery is 0.850. The four A values for the wells in the second column are 0.855, 0.845, 0.840, 0.830. The mean A value for the second channel is 0.843, with a standard deviation of 0.01. The reproducibility (CV) is 1.2% and the accuracy is 0.8%. Similar calculations are then performed for each remaining channel, always referring to the gravimetrically calibrated channel. In our laboratory, the Dynatech MR600 is interfaced with an Apple He personal computer (Apple Computer, Cupertino, CA 95104), with “Irnmunosoft” software (Dynatech Laboratories), and calculations are done automatically. In this way, the accuracy and reproducibility of each channel may be quickly and easily assessed.
A MULTI JUNCTION SOLAR CELL FOR WATER SPLITTING DEVELOPMENT OF AN A-SI:H/NC-SI:H/SHJ TRIPLE JUNCTION SOLAR CELL

Despite the fact that renewable energy sources are on the march, our energy system is still dominated by fossil fuels. In this energy transition storage is one of the main bottlenecks and attracts a lot of research. In order to compensate for the intermittent character of renewable sources like solar energy, the most developed options in the field are batteries for electrical storage and hydrogen as an energy carrier for long-term energy storage. In this project, the latter has been proposed and explored as a vital solution. A sustainable way to produce hydrogen is by means of solar energy. A coupled photovoltaic-electrolysis system uses a water electrolyzer powered by a solar cell with sufficient voltage to drive the water splitting reaction. A triple junction solar cell based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon, hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon and a silicon heterojunction solar cell has been studied. A n-type crystalline silicon wafer was used as a substrate and all thin film layers were deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition. The best results for a triple junction device were achieved with an intermediate layer of 6 nm n-type nc−SiOx between top and middle cell, a 200 nm intrinsic a-Si:H layer in the top cell and a 2800 nm thick intrinsic nc-Si:H absorber layer in the middle cell. With such a structure, a STH efficiency of 2.1 % is feasible with an iridium oxide counter electrode. To further improve the device, it was shown that reducing the intrinsic a-Si:H as well as the n-a-Si:H layer in the top cell increases current density matching in the multi junction device as more light passes through to the middle cell. Furthermore, a highly doped n-a-Si:H layer in the middle cell also improved the overall performance of the triple junction.
A Novel Design Approach for NB-IoT Networks Using Hybrid Teaching-learning Optimization

—In this paper, we present and address the problem of designing green LTE networks with Internet of Things (IoT) nodes. We consider the new NarrowBand-IoT (NB-IoT) wireless technology that will emerge in current and future access networks. The main objective is to reduce power consumption by responding to the instantaneous bit rate demand by the user and the IoT node. In this context, we apply emerging evolutionary algorithms to the above problem. More speciﬁcally, we apply the Teaching-Learning-Optimization (TLBO), the Jaya algorithm, and a hybrid algorithm. This hybrid algorithm named TLBO-Jaya uses concepts from both algorithms in an effective way. We compare and discuss the preliminary results of these algorithms.
Synthesis of the Initial Scientifi c Results of the MIS Project (AND-1B Core), Victoria Land Basin, Antarctica

The ANDRILL Program successfully recovered a 1285 m-long succession of cyclic glacimarine sediment with interbedded volcanic deposits in its fi rst season of drilling from the McMurdo Ice Shelf (MIS). The MIS AND-1B drill core represents the longest and most complete (98% recovery) geological record from the Antarctic continental margin to date, and will provide a key reference record of climate and ice-sheet variability through the Late Cenozoic. Here we present a synopsis of this Initial Science Report with emphasis on the potential of the record for improving our knowledge of Antarctica’s infl uence on global climate.
The Combination of Insulin Resistance and Serum Interleukin-1 β Correlates with Post-Stroke Depression in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

Purpose: Previous studies have shown that insulin resistance and inflammation may be associated with the pathophysiological mechanisms of mood disorders. Here, we investigated whether homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and serum inter-leukin-1β (IL-1β) in acute ischemic stroke patients might be associated with post-stroke depression (PSD). Materials and Methods: The prospective study was conducted in China from February 2019 to September 2020. HOMA-IR and clinical data were collected at the time of admission. Serum levels of IL-1β were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were screened by using the Hamilton Depression and Anxiety Scale at 6 months after stroke, and PSD was diagnosed on the basis of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) criteria. The association of potential risk factors with PSD was analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis. Finally, the ability of HOMA-IR and IL-1β to predict PSD was assessed with receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: A total of 305 people was included in the study; 65% were male, and the median age was 69.5±11.8 years. At the 6-month follow-up, 113 patients (37.5%) showed depressive symptoms. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, HOMA-IR and IL-1β as graded variables were associated with an increased risk of PSD ( P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated the highest sensitivity and specificity when the HOMA-IR and IL-1β were 1.96 and 38.71 pg/mL, respectively ( P < 0.001). IL-1β improved the ability of HOMA-IR to diagnose PSD combined model area under the curve (AUC): 0.78; 95% CI: 0.72–0.83; P < 0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that HOMA-IR and IL-1β are strongly associated with PSD at 6 months after stroke in patients with acute ischemic stroke. These two factors together improve the ability for early PSD assessment.
Fuzzy control in H-Bridge MLI for solar photovoltaic system to enhance load sharing

The electric power system is undergoing important changes and updates nowadays, particularly on a generation and transmission level. Initially, the move towards a distributed generation in distinction to the present centralized one implies a major assimilation of energy from undeleted supply and electricity storage systems. Advanced power physics interfacing systems are expected to play a key role within the development of such modern governable and economical large-scale grids and associated infrastructures. Throughout the last era, a worldwide analysis and development interest has been impressed within the field of segmental structure conversion; thanks to the well-known offered blessings over typical solutions within the medium and high voltage and power range. Within the context of battery energy storage systems, the segmental structure conversion device family exhibits a further attraction, i.e., the aptitude of embedding such storage parts in an exceedingly split manner, given the existence of many submodules operative at considerably lower voltages. This study deals with many technical challenges related to segmental structure converters and their development with battery energy storage parts to boost load sharing system.
The quality of landing in the gymnastic exercises, as seen by coaches in acrobatic gymnastics and tumbling

Conclusions. The most common mistakes both during competitions and in training are steps/skips and unstable positioning of the body. Propping oneself up is significantly more common during competitions than it is during training, since it reduces the loss of points compared to the athlete falling down. During training, however, the athletes do not avoid falls, which results in smaller frequency of injuries during training. According to the coaches, the most important coordination capabilities for correct landing are: spatial orientation, balance and fast reaction time.
POTENTIAL EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT DATA FUSION TECHNIQUES IN REMOTE SENSING

Data fusion techniques have been widely used to process earth observation data on the ground, which can generate data with higher quality and extract better information from multi-source or multi-temporal data. However, a few comparison research works have been done in current literature to evaluate the quality of the fused image from different fusion methodologies. This study examines properties of fused images and their ability to preserve the spectral and intensity integrity of the original image. It analyzes eight current data fusion techniques as applied to a complex scene to assess their performance. In our evaluation, eight data fusion models used: one spatial domain model (High-Pass Filter), one algebraic models (Brovey Transform), two spectral domain models (Principal Components Transform and Intensity-Hue-Saturation), two Wavelet transform techniques, one morphological method, and one Laplacian Method.
Successful Conservative Management of Pancreatitis complicated by Pancreatogastric Fistula

Objective: To identify pancreatogastric fistula as a rare complication of organized pancreatic necrosis. Case Report: 48 year old male with a history of alcohol abuse presented with severe epigastric pain for 5 days and hematemesis and melena for about 24 hours prior to presentation. On admission, he was hypotensive (96/62mmHg), tachycardic (107beats/min) with epigastric tenderness and maroon stool in rectal vault. His hemoglobin was 7.7 g/dl, WBC count was 22.1 K/mm3 and lipase was 16 U/L. CT scan showed chronic pancreatitis and organized pancreatic necrosis abating the stomach. EGD showed clotted blood in the entire stomach but no site of active bleeding was identified. A large fistula leading to pseudocyst was found in the cardia. This was draining pus and debris. The cyst was accessed by the gastroscope for possible irrigation and debridement. However, bleeding of arterial nature appeared from within the cyst that could not be stopped despite epinephrine injections. Surgical intervention was initially planned but a tagged RBC scans done soon after endoscopy suggested against ongoing bleeding. In the absence of active bleed and ongoing necrotizing and inflammatory process emergent surgical intervention was deferred and he was monitored in the ICU. His hemoglobin remained stable requiring no further transfusions. Patient was pain free and tolerating regular diet after 3 days of hospitalization. Repeat CT scan showed reduction in cyst size to less than half within a week of initial. Conclusion: Organized pancreatic necrosis in the setting of chronic relapsing pancreatitis can drain into adjacent organs through a fistula. This can help in the healing process and can potentially save a patient from challenging and difficult surgical intervention.

Trimma christianeae , a new species of goby (Teleostei: Gobiidae) from Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea

A new species of gobiid fish, Trimma christianeae , is described from 11 specimens, 9.8–18.9 mm SL, collected in 1–4 m depth near the town of Alotau in Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. Diagnostic features include: dorsal-fin elements VI+I,9, second dorsal-fin spine usually with a short filament, extending to the base of the first to fourth segmented dorsal-fin ray when adpressed; anal-fin elements I,7; the fifth segmented pelvic-fin ray with sequential branching consisting of three branch points, its length about 75–90% (mean 83%) length of fourth ray; the basal membrane of the pelvic fin fully developed; well-developed interorbital and postorbital trenches; no scales present on the opercle; the posterior naris large and adnate to the orbital rim; the gill rakers on the first arch 3–4+12–13; color in life mainly orange to brownish red with diffuse brown scale margins forming a reticulated pattern; 6 indistinct narrow white or gray bars (sometimes branching) along the back and dorsalmost part of caudal peduncle; and the pectoral-fin base with a distinctive orange to reddish-brown medial area with large white spots dorsally and ventrally. The new species is most similar in appearance to T. mendelssohni , from the western Indian Ocean, which differs in having scales present on the upper opercle, a pair of small, fleshy lappets on the dorsal surface of the nape, and the absence of upper-limb gill rakers. The general color pattern and well-developed interorbital and postorbital trenches indicate a possible relationship to the Trimma caesiura complex.
A Universal Large-Scale Trajectory Indexing for Cloud-Based Moving Object Applications

—The tremendous upsurge in low-cost geospatial chipsets brings out huge volumes of moving object trajectories, which catalyze a wide range of trajectory-driven applications (e.g., sustainable cities, smart transportation, green routing, intelligent homeland security, etc.). Consequently, there has been an emergence of more divergent queries and increased processing complexity. Instead of developing a query-speciﬁc approach for limited applications, we propose a Universal Moving Object Index, a ﬂexible index that is capable of ﬁne-tuning based on the application needs, without any structural modiﬁcation. Also, we introduce a Light-Weight Hybrid Index for heavily-loaded memory. Besides the ability to support trajectory-driven applications universally, both approaches are designed to be easily adopted by cloud-compatible MapReduce platforms. An extensive empirical study is conducted to validate our approaches and to highlight some critical challenges.
Microsoft Word-Main_body_FINAL_Rico_et_al.docx

The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of post-ruminally infused fat supplements, varying in fatty acid (FA) chain length, on animal performance, metabolism and milk FA. Eleven multiparous Holstein dairy cows were used in a replicated incomplete 3×3 Latin square design with 7-d periods, separated by 7-d washouts. Treatments were administered as abomasal infusions of enrichments providing 280 g/d of FAs: 1) palmitic acid (98.4% 16:0; PA), 2) caprylic and capric acids (56.2% 8:0, 43.8% 10:0; MCT), and 3) stearic acid (99.0% 18:0; SA). Relative to PA, SA decreased the efficiency of fat-corrected milk production, which was associated with a tendency for higher dry matter intake and lower FA absorption with SA, whereas MCT was not different from PA for these variables. Milk fat concentration and yield were increased by PA relative to SA, but only fat yield tended to be greater relative to MCT. Relative to PA, MCT increased milk fat concentration of FAs < 16 C, whereas SA increased FAs > 16 C. Expression of mammary stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase-1 was lower with SA than with PA. Relative to PA, liver expression of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase-1 and pyruvate kinase was increased with MCT, whereas expression of these genes tended to be increased by SA. The mechanism of increased fat secretion with PA does not seem to be related to a modulation of the expression of lipogenesis-related genes, but rather to increased substrate availability as reflected by milk FA profile.

Methodology for ESS-type selection and optimal energy management in distribution system with DG considering reverse flow limitations and cost penalties

As there are different types of energy storage systems (ESS), it is important to have a tool that determines the best alternative to be installed in the distribution systems. This study presents a methodology for optimal determination of size, type and site of ESS in distribution systems with distributed generation (DG). The methodology uses a genetic algorithm and a power flow calculated by the Electric Power Research Institute software OPENDSS. For the optimal ESS charge and discharge management uses a non-linear optimisation model that has as objective an energy cost and loss reduction. In addition, the methodology makes an energy management of the system by limiting the reverse flow with a load shifting process and a cost penalty. Solar and wind power are considered as DG modelled in Homer. Then, a genetic algorithm is used to select the size, type and site of the ESS, considering different lifecycles and costs. This methodology is tested in the IEEE 123 nodes system simulated and adapted in the OPENDSS and the formulation is implemented in MATLAB via COM interface. Finally, results of the methodology are presented and discussed.
MICROBIAL AND CHEMICAL QUALITY OF RETAILED MINCED MEATS

50 random locally produced minced meat samples (25 each of packaged frozen and chilled) were collected from supermarkets and meat markets in Damanhour City to assess their microbiological and chemical quality. The obtained results of frozen minced meat showed that the logarithmic means ± S.E. of aerobic plate counts (APC), anaerobic, enterobacteriacae, coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus and mould and yeast counts were : 6.15± 5.78 , 4.60 ± 3.89 , 4.40 ± 4.11 , 3.93 ± 3.64, 4.40 ± 3.88 , 2.72 ± 2.18 and 3.91± 3.64 log 10 cfu/g, respectively, while in chilled mince were : 6.83 ± 6.04 , 4.86 ± 4.04, 4.76 ±4.49, 4.57 ±4.26, 5.26±4.71, 3.59± 3.49 and 3.65 ± 3.04 log 10 cfu/g, respectively. This study mentioned that the maximum permissible limit was exceeded by 36% and 88 % for total aerobic counts (6 log 10 cfu/g), 72% and 84% for Staph.aureus according to Egyptian standard specifications (ESS) No. 1694/2005 of Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality Control . Also, samples of both products were not be completely free from coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus but were completely free from Escherichia coli , Shigellae and Salmonellae as pathogenic microorganisms. The chemical examination revealed that the hydrogen ion concentrations(pH) of frozen samples was ranged from 6.10 to 6.71,with a mean ± S.E. of 6.26 ± 0.03 while in chilled ones was ranged from 6.12 to 6.86, with a mean ± S.E. of 6.34 ± 0.03, while total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) in frozen mince was ranged from 6.72 to 13.44, with a mean ± S.E. of 9.52 ± 0.37 mg N/100g and was ranged from 6.72 to 24.19, with a mean ± S.E. of 13.38 ± 0.96 mg N/100g in chilled mince. These values of TVB-N were not exceeded the maximum permissible limit, (20 mg N/100g) according to ESS No.1694/2005 except 12% of chilled minced samples . The fat oxidation criteria determined by thiobarbituric acid value (TBA) in both products were very low and did not exceeded the permissible limit in foods (0.9 mg malonaldhyde/kg). These results indicated that the microbiological quality of retailed minced meat samples were unsatisfactory, and have health hazards for consumers as it may be lead to food poisoning.
European Union funds for emerging economies and developing countries – case study Poland and Croatia

— The European Union (EU) provides financial support for countries on a different level of economic development. Poland, according to the International Monetary Fund, is considered to be an emerging economy, while Croatia - a developing country. Poland is a member of the EU since 2004 and during this period has become the leader in Europe in implementation of projects co-financed by EU funds, and in turn, Croatia became a member of the EU in July 2013 and has only got experience with the implementation of the pre-accession funds, which unfortunately have not been absorbed in a satisfactory way. Poland is now a model to follow, when it comes to the efficiency and effectiveness of the absorption of EU funds and lots of European countries want to learn the methods and solutions, what have been applied in Poland. The Croatian Government, which has just gained great opportunities for the use of the structural funds, also wants to take advantage of the Polish experience. In the article, there have been discussed both Polish and Croatian experience in the absorption of EU funds. In addition, the main objective of the paper is to assess the extent of absorption of EU funds granted to Poland and Croatia.
