description: Large epidemiological studies such as the UK Biobank (UKBB) or German National Cohort (NAKO) provide unprecedented health-related data of the general population aiming to better understand determinants of health and disease. As part of these studies, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is performed in a subset of participants allowing for phenotypical and functional characterization of different organ systems. Due to the large amount of imaging data, automated image analysis is required, which can be performed using deep learning methods, e. g. for automated organ segmentation. In this paper we describe a computational pipeline for automated segmentation of abdominal organs on MRI data from 20,000 participants of UKBB and NAKO and provide results of the quality control process. We found that approx. 90% of data sets showed no relevant segmentation errors while relevant errors occurred in a varying proportion of data sets depending on the organ of interest. Image-derived features based on automated organ segmentations showed relevant deviations of varying degree in the presence of segmentation errors. These results show that large-scale, deep learning-based abdominal organ segmentation on MRI data is feasible with overall high accuracy, but visual quality control remains an important step ensuring the validity of down-stream analyses in large epidemiological imaging studies.

description: This article contributes to the debate on time series properties of commodity cash and futures markets and the impact of speculation on commodity futures markets. We reconcile production theory, which predicts cash commodity prices will be mean-reverting, with the efficient market hypothesis which is consistent with unit root process for futures prices. It is shown that when the underlying cash price series does not contain a unit root, a nearby futures price series can be nonlinear, having martingale properties within each contract segment, and mean-reverting changes at contract rollover points. We develop a novel ECM-BEKK-MEX model that handles nonlinearities in futures prices in a simple and practical way, and allows full flexibility in modeling the impact of speculation on conditional cash and futures price variances while preserving positive definiteness of the bivariate variance matrix. The model is applied to the U.S. dairy sector.

description: The adaptive optics module of MAVIS will feed an imager and spectrograph with an MCAO corrected wavefront, producing near-diffraction-limited science in the visible spectrum over a wide field of view. To capitalise on this performance, non-common path aberrations between the wavefront sensors and science instruments must be measured and corrected over the field. Additionally, there will always be a small amount of undesirable distortions over the field of view induced by optical surfaces and imperfections, which must be characterised to deliver the required astrometric performance in MAVIS. We describe the methods proposed for both the NCPA and astrometric calibrations, as well as the status of their early development.

description: In the majority of the EU potential members agricultural sector is playing a prominent role. Such an outcome is based on the high contribution of the agricultural sector on GDP, employment and trade accounts. EU initiated bilateral trade liberalization with the Western Balkans through the establishment of the ATPs. Furthermore, trade liberalization is extended in the regional level through the establishment of renewed CEFTA 2006. Despite the significant improvement, their export competitiveness remains weak. In the long run, agricultural exports might contribute on improvement of the export performance of the EU candidates. Main findings of the gravity model employed in this paper suggest that exports are positively affected by product size (GDP), and to lesser extent by the GDP of trading partners. Exports fall with the increase of the distance, and the fall in the value of exports is greater as larger is the distance between the trading partners. Therefore, the marginal fall in exports increases as far as the geographical distance between the trading partners increase. Initial assumptions that PTAs and cultural ties facilities the trade flows were affirmatively confirmed. Trade liberalization had a positive implication on improving export performance of the EU candidate countries

description: The Bayesian method is used to estimate a wheat yield response function using a stochastic plateau model. The objective is to extend the stochastic plateau functions by relaxing the normality assumption for the plateau random effect. The beta distribution was chosen so that the plateau can exhibit either right or left skewness. The economically optimal rate of nitrogen is determined using the plug-in approach, which is commonly used in the literature and the Monte Carlo optimization technique. The plug-in method ignores the parameter uncertainty, which might affect the accuracy of the nitrogen recommendation. The results indicate that the normal plateau model fits the wheat data better than the beta distribution. In addition, the plug-in method results on average in 0.6% lower nitrogen recommendation than the Monte Carlo approach.

This policy adds new things that ensure mental patient basic rights issues. That policy also ensures the treatment of mentally ill people from every race and class. Giving importance on monitoring committee**for updating the current state of mentally ill people under authorized surveillance.[1] The positive side of this policy, Bangladesh govt tries to portrait mentally ill people like a normal human social being, creating a social establishment of post societal rehabilitation after the treatment. But this policy misses the major issue about the community-based activity with fulfilling the gap of economic burden because of it’s a limited investment; funding opportunity to achieve its final goal. The policy paper is written based on the institutionalized based that reduce the path of smooth activity in the community-based service center.

description: We show that the generating functional describing the slow dynamics of spin glass systems is invariant under reparametrizations of the time. This result is general and applies for both infinite and short range models. It follows simply from the assumption that a separation between short time-scales and long time-scales exists in the system, and the constraints of causality and unitarity. Global time reparametrization invariance suggests that the low action excitations in a spin glass may be smoothly spatially varying time reparametrizations. These Goldstone modes may provide the basis for an analytic dynamical theory of short range spin glasses.

description: The Zee model is one of promising models of neutrino mass generation mechanism. However, the original Zee model is not on the framework of the ground unification scenario, and moreover, it is recently pointed out that the predicted value of $\sin^2 2θ_{solar}$ must be satisfied the relation $\sin^2 2θ_{solar} > 0.99$. We discuss whether possible GUT versions of the Zee model can be free from the severe constraint $\sin^2 2θ_{solar} >0.99$ or not. We will conclude that the following two models are promising: an R-parity violating SUSY GUT model and an SO(10) model with a 126-plet scalar.

description: This study explores the core principles of the Basel Convention and evaluates its practical application in the global ship dismantling industry, with a specific focus on Bangladesh. The study begins with an overview of the convention’s origin, key objectives, and technical guidelines concerning hazardous waste management, followed by an outline of hazardous materials commonly found on end-of-life vessels. It identifies the key stakeholders in the ship recycling chain, including international organizations, ship owners, and recyclers. The case study section critically assesses shipbreaking practices in Bangladesh, highlighting major discrepancies between current operations and the standards of Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) mandated by the Basel Convention. Key issues such as beaching methods, lack of pre-cleaning, and inadequate worker safety are emphasized. The paper proposes targeted improvements to align local practices with international norms, including infrastructural upgrades, regulatory reforms, and training initiatives. The final reflection questions the ethicality of exporting hazardous waste to developing nations and critiques the limitations of enforcing Basel Convention mandates. This study concludes that without stronger enforcement mechanisms and infrastructural investment, the environmental and human costs of ship dismantling in Bangladesh will continue to undermine the Convention’s objectives.

description: By using a characterization of the Morse index and the degeneracy in terms of a singular one dimensional eigenvalue problem given in a previous paper, we give a lower bound for the Morse index of radial solutions to Hénon type problems \[ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -Δu = |x|^αf(u) \qquad & \text{ in } Ω, u= 0 & \text{ on } \partial Ω, \end{array} \right. \] where $Ω$ is a bounded radially symmetric domain of $\mathbb R^N$ ($N\ge 2$), $α>0$ and $f$ is a real function. From this estimate we get that the Morse index of nodal radial solutions to this problem goes to $\infty$ as $α\to \infty$. Concerning the real Hénon problem, $f(u)= |u|^{p-1}u$, we prove radial nondegeneracy, we show that the radial Morse index is equal to the number of nodal zones and we get that a least energy nodal solution is not radial.

description: Based on the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function (NGF) technique, a general formula for the current and transmission coefficient through a one dimensional lattice is derived without the consideration of electron-electron interactions. We obtain an analytical condition for perfect resonant transmission when the levels of sites are aligned, which depends on the parity of the number of sites. Localization-delocalization transition in a generic one dimensional disordered lattice is also analyzed, depending on the correlation among the hopping parameters and the strength of the coupling to reservoirs. The dependence of the number and lineshape of resonant transmission and linear conductance peaks on the structure parameters of the lattice is also given in several site cases.

Making High T$_c$ Higher: A Theoretical Proposal
Creators: name: Kivelson, Steven
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: There is considerable evidence that the highest $T_c$ obtainable in a copper-oxide plane is limitted by the competition between two effects: On the one hand, as the concentration of doped-holes, $ x$, is increased, the pairing scale, which is related to the properties of a doped Mott insulator, decreases. On the otherhand, the superfluid density, which controls the stiffness of the system to phase fluctuations, vanishes as $x \to 0$, and increases with increasing $x$. Optimal $T_c$ is obtained at a crossover from a phase ordering dominated regime at small $x$ to a pairing dominated regime at large $x$. If this description is valid, then higher $T_c$'s can be obtained in an array of coupled planes with different doped hole concentrations, such that a high pairing scale is derived from the underdoped planes and a large phase stiffness from the optimally or overdoped ones.

description: This paper investigates the impact of green public procurement (governments’ purchases) of certified wood in the EU. A spatial price equilibrium model is developed to analyse whether this policy impacts the interregional trade flows of wood and other regions’ economic welfare. The model contains an innovative feature which allows the introduction of consumers’ willingness to pay for certified wood, and producers’ willingness to accept certified wood production. The outcome of the analysis demonstrates that green public procurement of certified wood in one region can create a trade barrier for other regions and decrease their economic welfare. In the worst case scenario, the forced increase of demand for certified wood increases the prices of certified wood. This decreases the relative price of conventional wood which can trigger the production of conventional wood and endanger forest conservation. Cost reductions and adequate financial compensation for certified wood producers can tackle these problems.

description: The strong coupling constant alpha_S is determined using recently re-analysed e+e- annihilation data collected by the JADE experiment at sqrt{s}= 14 to 44 GeV. The measurements are based on O(alpha_S**2)+NLLA predictions for various event shape observables. The calculations are found to describe reliably data at the lowest energies of the e+e- continuum where non-perturbative contributions become important. The results for alpha_S are in good agreement with the QCD expectation for the running of the strong coupling constant. This is the first determination of alpha_S at sqrt{s}= 14 and 22 GeV based on resummed QCD predictions.

description: Perturbative corrections to General Relativity alter the expressions for both the entropy of black holes and their extremality bounds. We prove a universal relation between the leading corrections to these quantities. The derivation is purely thermodynamic and the result also applies beyond the realm of gravitational systems. In scenarios where the correction to the entropy is positive, our result proves that the perturbations decrease the mass of extremal black holes, when holding all other extensive variables fixed in the comparison. This implies that the extremality relations of a wide class of black holes display Weak Gravity Conjecture-like behavior.

description: We point out that the hierarchy between the measured values of the CKM phase and the strong CP phase has a natural origin in supersymmetry with spontaneous CP violation and low energy supersymmetry breaking. The underlying reason is simple and elegant: in supersymmetry the strong CP phase is protected by an exact non-renormalization theorem while the CKM phase is not. We present explicit examples of models which exploit this fact and discuss corrections to the non-renormalization theorem in the presence of supersymmetry breaking. This framework for solving the strong CP problem has generic predictions for the superpartner spectrum, for CP and flavor violation, and predicts a preferred range of values for electric dipole moments.

description: This study provides empirical evidence on the link between economic growth, nutrition, and health in two emerging economies, China and Russia. Both countries have experienced rising average incomes, accompanied by an increasing rate of nutrition-related chronic diseases in recent years. Thereby, the higher growth rate of the occurrence of obesity in China suggests a certain catching-up effect and tremendously increasing problems with chronic diseases in the longer run, especially in urban areas of China. Further, our results indicate that with increasing household incomes over time the demand for carbohydrates decreases, while the demand for meat and dairy products, as well as fruits increases. This is a development generally known as nutrition transition. Finally, our estimation results of a Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) underscore the finding that income growth in China and Russia tends to increase the demand for animal-based products much stronger than the demand for carbohydrates.

description: A new hybrid approach to air shower simulations is described. At highest energies, each particle is followed individually using the traditional Monte Carlo method; this initializes a system of cascade equations which are applicable for energies such that the shower is one-dimensional. The cascade equations are solved numerically down to energies at which lateral spreading becomes significant, then their output serves as a source function for a 3-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation of the final stage of the shower. This simulation procedure reproduces the natural fluctuations in the initial stages of the shower, gives accurate lateral distribution functions, and provides detailed information about all low energy particles on an event-by-event basis. It is quite efficient in computation time.

As such, the approach comprises the texture feature extraction from raw data based on well established approaches, such as a nnU-Net neural network and the Pyradiomics toolbox, a subsequent selection according to adequate conditions for the muscle tissue of the general population, and an importance-based ranking to further narrow the amount of meaningful features with respect to auxiliary targets. The performance was investigated with respect to the included auxiliary targets, namely age, body mass index (BMI), and fat fraction (FF). Four skeletal muscles with different fiber architecture were included: the mm. glutaei, m. psoas, as well as the extensors and adductors of the thigh. The selection allowed for a reduction from 1015 available texture features to 65 for age, 53 for BMI, and 36 for FF from the available fat/water contrast images considering all muscles jointly. Further, the dependence of the importance rankings calculated for the auxiliary targets on validation sets (in a cross-validation scheme) was investigated by boxplots. In addition, significant differences between subgroups of respective auxiliary targets as well as between both sexes were shown to be present within the ten lowest ranked features by means of Kruskal-Wallis H-tests and Mann-Whitney U-tests. The prediction performance for the selected features and the ranking scheme were verified on validation sets by a random forest based multi-class classification, with strong area under the curve (AUC) values of the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) of 73.03 ± 0.70 % and 73.63 ± 0.70 % for the water and fat images in age, 80.68 ± 0.30 % and 88.03 ± 0.89 % in BMI, as well as 98.36 ± 0.03 % and 98.52 ± 0.09 % in FF.

description: Follow-up observations of (sub-)mm-selected gravitationally-lensed systems have allowed a more detailed study of the dust-enshrouded phase of star-formation up to very early cosmic times. Here, the case of the gravitationally lensed merger in HATLAS J142935.3-002836 (also known as H1429-0028; z_lens=0.218, z_bkg=1.027) is revisited following recent developments in the literature and new APEX observations targeting two carbon monoxide (CO) rotational transitions J_up=3 and 6. We show that the line-profiles comprise three distinct velocity components, where the fainter high-velocity one is less magnified and more compact. The modelling of the observed spectral line energy distribution of CO J_up=2 to 6 and [CI]3P_1-3P_0 assumes a large velocity gradient scenario, where the analysis is based on four statistical approaches. Since the detected gas and dust emission comes exclusively from only one of the two merging components (the one oriented North-South, NS), we are only able to determine upper-limits for the companion. The molecular gas in the NS component in H1429-0028 is found to have a temperature of ~70K, a volume density of log(n[/cm3])~3.7, to be expanding at ~10km/s/pc, and amounts to M_H2=4(-2,+3)*1e9 Msun. The CO to H2 conversion factor is estimated to be alpha_CO=0.4(-0.2,+0.3) Msun/(K.km/s.pc2). The NS galaxy is expected to have a factor of >10x more gas than its companion (M_H2<3e8 Msun). Nevertheless, the total amount of molecular gas in the system comprises only up to 15 per cent (1sigma upper-limit) of the total (dynamical) mass.

description: This paper reports the first search for stellar-origin binary black holes within the LISA Data Challenges (LDC). The search algorithm and the \Yorsh{} LDC datasets, both previously described elsewhere, are only summarized briefly; the primary focus here is to present the results of applying the search to the challenge of data. The search employs a hierarchical approach, leveraging semi-coherent matching of template waveforms to the data using a variable number of segments, combined with a particle swarm algorithm for parameter space exploration. The computational pipeline is accelerated using graphical processing unit (GPU) hardware. The results of two searches using different models of the LISA response are presented. The most effective search finds all five sources in the data challenge with injected signal-to-noise ratios $\gtrsim 12$. Rapid parameter estimation is performed for these sources.

description: We show that dislocations should be the main source of spin tunneling in Mn-12 crystals. Long-range strains caused by dislocations produce broad distribution of relaxation times that has been seen in many experiments. When the external magnetic field is applied along the c-axis of the crystal, local rotations of the magnetic anisotropy axis due to dislocations result in the effective local transverse magnetic field that unfreezes odd tunneling resonances. Scaling law is derived that provides universal description of spin tunneling for all resonances.

description: We analyze the current in a superconducting point contact of arbitrary transmission in the presence of a microwave radiation. The interplay between the ac Josephson current and the microwave signal gives rise to Shapiro steps at voltages V = (m/n) \hbar ω_r/2e, where n,m are integer numbers and ω_r is the radiation frequency. The subharmonic steps (n different from 1) are a consequence of the ocurrence of multiple Andreev reflections (MAR) and provide an unambiguous signature of the peculiar ac Josephson effect at high transmission. Moreover, the dc current exhibits a rich subgap structure due to photon-assisted MARs.

description: Let $R=K[X_1,\ldots, X_n]$ where $K$ is a field of characteristic zero, and let $A_n(K)$ be the $n^{th}$ Weyl algebra over $K$. We give standard grading on $R$ and $A_n(K)$. Let $I$, $J$ be homogeneous ideals of $R$. Let $M = H^i_I(R)$ and $N = H^j_J(R)$ for some $i, j$. We show that $\Ext_{A_n(K)}^ν(M,N)$ is concentrated in degree zero for all $ν\geq 0$, i.e., $\Ext_{A_n(K)}^ν(M,N)_l=0$ for $l \neq0$. This proves a conjecture stated in part I of this paper.

description: Climate change not only entails gradual changes, but also climate variability is predicted to increase. Extreme weather events are expected to affect food security, among other things because yield losses lead to rising food price volatility. We project the potential effect of heat-stress induced yield losses on food price volatility and global economic welfare. For this purpose we use a non-linear partial equilibrium trade model with which we assess global maize, rice, soy and wheat markets. Maize and rice are affected the most, with partially dramatic price volatility increases. In the case of soy, the increase is lower, but still considerable. For wheat, results are mixed. Depending on the scenario, price volatility slightly decreases or significantly increases. Consequences for global economic welfare also strongly depend on the scenario. Losses either increase moderately or they about double.
Optimal Number of Measurements in a Linear System with Quadratically Decreasing SNR

description: We consider the design of a linear sensing system with a fixed energy budget assuming that the sampling noise is the dominant noise source. The energy constraint implies that the signal energy per measurement decreases linearly with the number of measurements. When the maximum sampling rate of the sampling circuit is chosen to match the designed sampling rate, the assumption on the noise implies that its variance increases approximately linearly with the sampling rate (number of measurements). Therefore, the overall SNR per measurement decreases quadratically in the number of measurements. Our analysis shows that, in this setting there is an optimal number of measurements. This is in contrast to the standard case, where noise variance remains unchanged with sampling rate, in which case more measurements imply better performance. Our results are based on a state evolution technique of the well-known approximate message passing algorithm. We consider both the sparse (e.g. Bernoulli-Gaussian and least-favorable distributions) and the non-sparse (e.g. Gaussian distribution) settings in both the real and complex domains. Numerical results corroborate our analysis.

description: Within the closed time path formalism a general nonperturbative expression is derived which resums through the Bethe-Salpter equation all leading order contributions to the shear viscosity in hot scalar field theory. Using a previously derived generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem for nonlinear response functions in the real-time formalism, it is shown that the Bethe-Salpeter equation decouples in the so-called (r,a) basis. The general result is applied to scalar field theory with pure lambda*phi**4 and mixed g*phi**3+lambda*phi**4 interactions. In both cases our calculation confirms the leading order expression for the shear viscosity previously obtained in the imaginary time formalism.

description: Brazil has committed itself to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 36.1% and 38.9% compared to projected emissions for 2020. In order to accomplish this, the deforestation in the Amazon will have to be reduced by 80% and in the savannah region (Cerrado) by 40% by that year. Concurrently, Brazil is the country with the greatest potential to increase its agricultural production and contribute to the challenge of feeding an increasing world population. Moreover, agribusiness is a key sector of the Brazilian economy for income generation and promotion of foreign exchange. This article discusses the economic impact of a restrictive policy of deforestation on the agricultural and livestock sector and the national economy using a computable general equilibrium model. The results point to low losses in GDP from the limited deforestation scenario as compared with the baseline, but non negligible impacts in the agricultural, livestock and food sector.
