description: The U.S. veterinary medical profession is facing a capacity crisis, struggling to meet the growing demand for services. Introducing a new mid-level provider role, the Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA), could bridge the gap between veterinarians and technicians, potentially helping to alleviate this issue. This project aimed to define potential VPA roles and responsibilities and assess their impact on workflow, productivity, and financial performance in a specialty orthopedic practice for companion animals. Based on expert interviews, we developed partial budget models to estimate the expected financial impact of VPAs. Under our model assumptions, adding one full-time equivalent (FTE) VPA significantly improved financial performance and increased throughput. These findings suggest that VPAs could be a viable solution to help address the capacity issues in veterinary medicine. Similar to successful implementations of physician assistants and nurse practitioners in human medicine, VPAs may enhance practice capacity and client satisfaction, improve patient outcomes and animal welfare, and increase practice profitability. Further research and real-world implementation are needed to validate these results and ensure the successful integration of VPAs into veterinary care.

description: We present analysis of Hubble Space Telescope images of 82 nearby field late-M and L dwarfs. We resolve 13 of these systems into double M/L dwarf systems and identify an additional possible binary. Combined with previous observations of 20 L dwarfs, we derive an observed binary fraction for ultracool dwarfs of 17+4-3%, where the statistics included systems with separations in the range 1.6-16 A.U. We argue that accounting for biases and incompleteness leads to an estimated binary fraction 15+-5% in the range 1.6-16 A.U. No systems wider than 16 A.U. are seen, implying that the wide companion frequency is less than 1.7%; the distribution of orbital separation is peaked at ~2-4 A.U. and differs greatly from the G dwarf binary distribution. Indirect evidence suggests that the binary fraction is ~5+-3% for separations less than 1.6 A.U. We find no evidence for differences in the binary fraction between stellar late-M and L dwarfs and substellar L dwarfs. We note, however, that the widest (>10 A.U.) systems in our sample are all of earlier (M8-L0) spectral type; a larger sample is needed determine if this is a real effect. One system with a spectral type of L7 has a secondary that is fainter in the HST F814W filter but brighter in F1042M; we argue that this secondary is an early-T dwarf.

description: We studied the electrical conductivity of DNA molecules with conducting atomic force microscopy as a function of the chemical nature of the substrate surfaces, the nature of the electrical contact, and the number of DNA molecules (from a few molecules, to ropes and large fibers containing up to ~ 106 molecules). Independent of the chemical nature of the surface (hydrophobic or hydrophilic, electrically neutral or charged), we find that DNA is highly resistive. From a large number of current-voltage curves measured at several distance along the DNA, we estimate a conductivity of about 10-6-10-5 S.cm-1 per DNA molecule. For single DNA molecules, this highly resistive behavior is correlated with its flattened conformation on the surface (reduced thickness, \~0.5-1.5 nm, compared to its nominal value, ~2.4 nm). We find that intercalating an organic semiconductor buffer film between the DNA and the metal electrode improves the reliability of the contact, while direct metal evaporation usually destroys the DNA and prevents any current measurements. After long exposure under vacuum or dry nitrogen, the conductivity strongly decreases, leading to the conclusion that water molecules and ions in the hydration shell of the DNA play a major role.

description: Cada vez mais valorizada no mercado das grandes cidades brasileiras, a cachaça também está conquistando o interesse de consumidores no exterior. Para isso, o Brasil tem criado programas que visam a implementação de políticas que impulsionem o crescimento do setor, através do aumento da produção e a expansão comercial nos mercados interno e externo. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do artigo é trazer um panorama da produção da cachaça no Brasil, enfatizando a exportação deste produto. Os objetivos específicos são: destacar algumas barreiras comerciais impostas ao produto pelos países importadores e observar o comportamento de uma empresa do setor, criada recentemente no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, que pretende exportar seus produtos – qual seja a F.B. Agroindústria e Turismo, produtora da cachaça Dom Braga. Para tanto, foram coletados dados junto ao Programa Brasileiro de Desenvolvimento da Cachaça (PBDAC) e à Secretaria do Comércio Exterior (SECEX), e foram feitas visitas técnicas à F.B. Agroindústria e Turismo, à Cachaçaria Água Doce e à Cachaçaria do Mercado, além de entrevistas com profissionais qualificados e representativos no setor da cachaça. Ao final, considera-se que as barreiras comercias são restritivas às exportações de bebidas alcoólicas e, portanto às exportações de cachaça. No entanto o setor possui grande potencial a ser explorado, podendo este, vir a ser um produto com participação significativa na pauta das exportações brasileiras, na medida em que a cachaça tem tido crescente aceitação no mercado internacional.

description: A search for stable and long-lived massive particles of electric charge |Q/e|=1 or fractional charges of 2/3, 4/3, and 5/3 is reported using data collected by the OPAL detector at LEP, at centre-of-mass energies from 130 to 209 GeV. These particles are assumed to be pair-produced in e+e- collisions and not to interact strongly. No evidence for the production of these particles was observed. Model-independent upper limits on the production cross-section between 0.005 and 0.028 pb have been derived for scalar and spin-1/2 particles with charge +-1. Within the framework of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM), this implies a lower limit of 98.0 (98.5) GeV on the mass of long-lived right (left)- handed scalar muons and scalar taus. Long-lived charged heavy leptons and charginos are excluded for masses below 102.0 GeV. For particles with fractional charge +-2/3, +-4/3, and +-5/3, the upper limit on the production cross-section varies between 0.005 and 0.020 pb. All mass and cross-section limits are derived at the 95% confidence level and are valid for particles with lifetimes longer than 10-6s.

description: O presente estudo analisa a competitividade das exportações brasileiras de café verde frente a seus principais concorrentes no mercado internacional (Colômbia, Vietnã e Indonésia), no período de 1980 a 2003. Para tanto, utiliza–se dos coeficientes de elasticidade de substituição (ES) que foram estimados pelo Método dos Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários (MQO). Pode-se observar que o Brasil tem conseguido manter sua posição de maior produtor e exportador mundial de café verde, porém, isso não tem sido suficiente para impedir os elevados crescimentos das exportações do Vietnã, um de seus principais concorrentes no mercado internacional. A partir das estimativas, observa-se que as exportações brasileiras não são competitivas em relação às exportações da Colômbia, Vietnã e Indonésia, caracterizando o produto brasileiro como diferenciado, relativamente a esses países. No que diz respeito aos ajustamentos defasados, os coeficientes se mostram significativos em todos os casos analisados, confirmando a hipótese de rigidez nas exportações de café verde de um ano e outro. Finalmente, conclui-se que há diferenciação do café verde por país de origem e, dessa forma, ao invés de substitutos perfeitos, os cafés originários dos diversos países são complementares no mercado internacional.

description: O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a eficácia da rotulagem obrigatória no canal de distribuição integrado pela Central de Abastecimento de Minas Gerais (Unidade Grande Belo Horizonte), em termos do comportamento de seus agentes, de sua estrutura e de seu funcionamento. Quanto à metodologia, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva, especificamente um estudo de caso, cujos dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com representantes da cadeia produtiva da banana (produtores rurais, atacadistas, varejistas e técnicos da CEASA-MG). Com base nos resultados obtidos, foi possível constatar que o uso dos rótulos permaneceu apenas nas relações comerciais mais sujeitas à fiscalização e que, mesmo nesses casos, as informações não são transmitidas ao consumidor final. Na percepção dos agentes, a falta de fiscalização foi uma das principais causas da descontinuidade da rotulagem. De modo geral, concluiu-se que a rotulagem obrigatória não causou alterações significativas no canal de distribuição da banana integrado pela CEASA/MG – Unidade Grande BH. Conseqüentemente, ainda não pôde contribuir para a rastreabilidade, para o suporte à logística, para a agilidade e transparência das transações, entre outros aspectos fundamentais à evolução do canal.

description: Objectives: To identify the availability and accessibility of AEDs in Irish GAA clubs and the knowledge, willingness, and confidence of club members to use AEDs in a medical emergency. Methods: A self-report survey was completed anonymously by GAA club members (n = 267). The survey captured demographic information, previous formal AED training, awareness of AED access in their local GAA club and knowledge, confidence, and willingness to use an AED in a medical emergency and awareness of a written club emergency action plan (EAP). Descriptive statistics were used to examine survey responses and independent samples t-tests to compare differences in outcome scores between those who have or have not completed formal AED training and those that have or have not studied toward or worked in a health-care provision role. Results: Three in every five GAA club members reported that their club owned an AED and almost half of all respondents had access to a club AED in the event of a medical emergency in their club. Formal training was noted by 53.2% of respondents; this group demonstrated significantly better knowledge, confidence, and willingness (p < 0.0001) than those without. Few (7%) respondents knew where the club EAP was or how to access it. Conclusion: To ensure the chain of survival works effectively it is essential that an AED is available, is accessible, and that club members know its location, know when to use it, and are willing and confident to use it. GAA clubs should design an individual emergency action plan and disseminate it widely among club members. Formal AED training should be encouraged among club members and at least one trained member should be present during all club activities.

description: Viability of electric car-sharing operations depends on rebalancing algorithms. Earlier methods in the literature suggest a trend toward non-myopic algorithms using queueing principles. We propose a new rebalancing policy using cost function approximation. The cost function is modeled as a p-median relocation problem with minimum cost flow conservation and path-based charging station capacities on a static node-charge graph structure. The cost function is NP-complete, so a heuristic is proposed that ensures feasible solutions that can be solved in an online system. The algorithm is validated in a case study of electric carshare in Brooklyn, New York, with demand data shared from BMW ReachNow operations in September 2017 (262 vehicle fleet, 231 pickups per day, 303 traffic analysis zones (TAZs)) and charging station location data (18 charging stations with 4 port capacities). The proposed non-myopic rebalancing heuristic reduces the cost increase compared to myopic rebalancing by 38%. Other managerial insights are further discussed.

description: Media scholarship has commonly regarded newspapers as an essential element of strong democratic societies: a forum that structures public debate, providing engaged citizens with coherent frameworks to identify, interpret and tackle complex issues. Despite general agreement on the merits of this goal, there is little empirical evidence suggesting it approximates the democratic role historically played by newspapers. We examined three decades of newspaper coverage of chicken meat production in the UK to find evidence relevant to the normative expectations of the democratic role of newspapers as forum for public debate, by means of a two-stage framing analysis of 766 relevant articles from seven outlets. We found mutually disconnected episodic coverage of specific issues whose aggregate effect is consistent with the diffusion rather than the structuring of public debate. Newspapers here afforded polemic rather than the systemic contestation expected. The polemic contestation we found, with diffusion of public debate as an emergent political effect, troubles the assumptions subsequent to which it is possible to argue for the democratic role of newspapers.

description: We present 1.4 GHz VLA observations of the variability of radio sources in the Lockman Hole region at the level of > 100 uJy on timescales of 17 months and 19 days. These data indicate that the areal density of highly variable sources at this level is < 0.005 arcmin^{-2}. We set an upper limit of 2% to the fraction of 50 to 100uJy sources that are highly variable (> 50%). These results imply a lower limit to the beaming angle for GRBs of 1deg, and give a lower limit of 200 arcmin^2 to the area that can be safely searched for GRB radio afterglows before confusion might become an issue.

Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis examines the voice and lived experiences of working class people educated in Everton, Liverpool, UK in the years 1944-1979. It is framed in an oral history tradition and draws on the wider humanities reflecting the multivariate nature of influences on educational experience. An interdisciplinary approach to post war history has been identified as a gap and the interplay of sociology and politics shapes the discussion on the impact of education policy. The voice of working class communities is rare in educational accounts of the time and subsequent analysis. The analytical framework combines thematic review with a focus on diverse perspectives using alternative lenses to preserve the authenticity of the voice.

description: Neste artigo busca-se analisar quais foram os fatores mais importantes na determinação das exportações brasileiras de carne suína (valor exportado – US$), no período de 1999 a 2005, no qual o Brasil se consolidou como um dos principais players no mercado mundial desse produto. O modelo matemático que sustenta os modelos estatísticos desenvolvidos no trabalho é baseado nas relações funcionais existentes entre o valor das exportações de um produto i (variável dependente) e o preço de exportação do produto i, a produção interna do produto i, a taxa real de câmbio para exportação e a renda externa (variáveis independentes). Com base nesse modelo matemático foi estimado um modelo econométrico por Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários (MQO), considerando-se além das variáveis acima, duas dummies de intercepto diferencial e uma variável tendência. Os resultados indicam que, de 1999 a 2005, a produção interna foi a variável de maior impacto nas exportações de carne suína, o que demonstra que o mercado externo tem absorvido o excesso de produção interna e alavancado as exportações nacionais do produto. Além dessa variável, o preço de exportação, a taxa de câmbio e a renda externa também foram importantes na determinação das exportações, no referido período. Ademais, o modelo mostrou uma quebra estrutural nos dados, em agosto de 2004, subdividindo o período de análise em dois períodos distintos (período 1, janeiro/1999 a julho/2004; período 2, agosto/2004 a outubro/2005). Concluiu-se que todas as variáveis do modelo foram importantes na determinação das exportações de carne suína, de 1999 a 2005, o que indica que o mercado externo é muito importante para o equilíbrio da suinocultura nacional.

description: The number of astronomers for a country registered to the IAU is known to have a correlation with the GDP. However, the robustness of this relationship can be doubted, because the fraction of astronomers joining the IAU differs from country to country. Here we revisit this correlation by using the recent data updated as of 2017, and then we find a similar correlation by using the total enumeration of astronomers and astrophysicists with PhD degrees and working in each country, instead of adopting the number of IAU members. We confirm the existence of two subgroup in the correlation. One group consists of European advanced countries having long history of modern astronomy, while the other group consists of countries having experienced recent rapid economic development. In order to find causation in the correlation, we obtain the long-term variations of the number of astronomers, population, and the GDP for a number of countries to find that the number of astronomers per citizen for recently developing countries has increased more rapidly as GDP per capita increased, than that for fully developed countries. We collect a demographic data of the Korean astronomical community. From these findings we estimate the proper size of the Korean astronomical community by considering the society's economic power and population. The current number of PhD astronomers working in Korea is approximately 310, but it should be 550 that is large enough to be comparable and competitive to the sizes of Spainish, Canadian, and Japanese astronomical communities. We discuss on the way how to overcome the vulnerability of the Korean astronomical community, based on the statistics of national R&D expenditure structure comparing with that of other major advanced countries.

description: Computer applications are the most recent advance in the manmachine relationship in agriculture. In the past decade, these applications have grown phenomenally, especially in the areas of research, development, and experimentation. The use of the computer has led to a corresponding growth in the publication of literature reporting findings of research accomplished. Attempts to control this literature through secondary services are discussed. A brief history of influences determining the output of agricultural economics literature is presented, and early efforts to establish bibliographic control over these publications are reviewed. More recently, however, publication of research findings has far exceeded attempts over their control, and this has become a problem. Results of much research are not reaching potential users. Thus, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify funding of projects that do not find practical application. This problem may partially be overcome by supporting efforts to provide secondary services. Ultimately, it will require greater attention to and funding for computerized bibliographic control of literature.

description: The RGU-photographic investigation of an intermediate latitude field in the direction to the Galactic center is presented. 164 extra-galactic objects, identified by comparison of Minnesota and Basel charts, are excluded from the program. Also, a region with size 0.104 square-degrees, contaminated by cluster (M5) stars and affected by background light of the bright star HD 136202 is omitted. Contrary to previous investigations, a reddening of $E(B-V)=0.046$, corresponding to E(G-R)=0.07 mag is adopted. The separation of dwarfs and evolved stars is carried out by an empirical method, already applied in some of our works. A new calibration for the metallicity determination is used for dwarfs, while the absolute magnitude determination for stars of all categories is performed using the procedures given in the literature. There is good agreement between the observed logarithmic space density histograms and the galactic model gradients. Also, the local luminosity function agrees with Gliese's (1969) and Hipparcos' (Jahreiss & Wielen 1997) luminosity functions, for stars with $2

description: The removal of heavy metal ions in wastewater has a great significance to human health and environment protection. Metal organic framework possesses high surface area, rich porosity, tunable pore size and abundant active sites. However, the intrinsic aggregation and fragility of MOF nanoparticles make its poor adsorption and undesirable reusage. Herein, a facile and unique hot-pressing method is adopted to decorate the MOF nanoparticles on nickel foam (ZIF-8/NF), which simultaneously serves as self-supporting substrate of ZIF-8 nanoparticles and electrode of a self-powered multifunctional purification system. In adsorption, the ZIF-8/NF composite presents high Cu2+ removal rate of 49.5% with the concentration of 10 mg/100 ml. More importantly, integrating with electrochemistry, the Cu2+ removal rate of the ZIF-8/NF composite reaches 54.7% in 5 min. The superior performance is attributed to the comprehensive effects of ion exchange, chemical bonding and physical adsorption. Moreover, the low-cost, fast and scalable preparation contributes to commercially fabricate MOF nanoparticles on self-supported substrate to treat wastewater with high efficiency and good recyclability.

description: many countries are trying to build political party financing systems to promote accountability. One approach that applies in many countries is to introduce a system of state subsidies (public funding) to political parties. This state subsidy is expected to be able to address the problem of decreasing party membership dues and to reduce the influence of contributions from capital owners. The amount of state subsidies varies, the form also varies, for example subsidies in the form of cash or inkind, and the allocation is also limited to party activities and some include subsidies for campaign activities (electoral subsidy).However, the system in general is still unable to answer a number of fundamental issues including; (i) how to prevent corruption and illegal fundraising within political parties, (ii) how to build an effective law enforcement system given the strong access of politicians to influence the legal process by exploiting the weaknesses of legal texts, (iii) how to prevent political party dependence on State subsidies.

description: We present a mid-infrared study of NGC 3576. The high-resolution images were taken at the Gemini South Observatory through narrow and broad band filters centered between 7.9 micron and 18 micron. The nearly diffraction limited images show IRS 1 resolved into 4 sources for the first time in the 10 micron band. The positions of the sources are coincident with massive young stellar objects detected previously in the near infrared. The properties of each object, such as spectral energy distribution, silicate absorption feature, color temperature and luminosities were obtained and are discussed. We also report observations of two other YSO candidates and the detection of a new diffuse MIR source without a NIR counterpart. We conclude that none of these sources contributes significantly to the ionization of the HII region. A possible location for the ionization source of NGC 3576 is suggested based on both radio and infrared data.

Surprisingly Little O VI Emission Arises in the Local Bubble
Creators: name: Shelton, R. L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper reports the first study of the O VI resonance line emission (1032, 1038 Angstroms) originating in the Local Bubble (or Local Hot Bubble) surrounding the solar neighborhood. In spite of the fact that O VI absorption within the Local Bubble has been observed, no resonance line emission was detected during our 230 ksec Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer observation toward a ``shadowing'' filament in the southern Galactic hemisphere. As a result, tight 2 sigma upper limits are set on the intensities in the 1032 and 1038 Angstrom emission lines: 500 and 530 photons cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1}, respectively. These values place strict constraints on models and simulations. They suggest that the O VI-bearing plasma and the X-ray emissive plasma reside in distinct regions of the Local Bubble and are not mixed in a single plasma, whether in equilibrium with T ~ 10^6 K or highly overionized with T ~ 4 to 6 x 10^4 K. If the line of sight intersects multiple cool clouds within the Local Bubble, then the results also suggest that hot/cool transition zones differ from those in current simulations. With these intensity upper limits, we establish limits on the electron density, thermal pressure, pathlength, and cooling timescale of the O VI-bearing plasma in the Local Bubble. Furthermore, the intensity of O VI resonance line doublet photons originating in the Galactic thick disk and halo is determined (3500 to 4300 photons cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1}), and the electron density, thermal pressure, pathlength, and cooling timescale of its O VI-bearing plasma are calculated. The pressure in the Galactic halo's O VI-bearing plasma (3100 to 3800 K cm^{-3}) agrees with model predictions for the total pressure in the thick disk/lower halo. We also report the results of searches for other emission lines.

 Type species. Ormiscus variegatus G. R. Waterhouse, 1845, by monotypy.
 Generic diagnosis. Ormiscus can be distinguished from Trigonorhinus by the quadrate rostrum. It can be distinguished from Eusphyrus by the antebasal transverse pronotal carina that is incapable of reaching the elytra base, and by the pronotal hind angles that are not projecting laterad the elytral humerae. Ormiscus can be distinguished from most other anthribids by having separate lobes on the 3 rd tarsomeres, notched eyes, small size, and by the quadrate rostrum.

Phase-Apodized-Pupil Lyot Coronagraphs for Arbitrary Telescope Pupils

description: The phase-apodized-pupil Lyot coronagraph (PAPLC) is a pairing of the apodized-pupil Lyot coronagraph (APLC) and the apodizing phase plate (APP) coronagraph. We describe a numerical optimization method to obtain globally-optimal solutions for the phase apodizers for arbitrary telescope pupils, based on the linear map between complex-amplitude transmission of the apodizer and the electric field in the post-coronagraphic focal plane. PAPLCs with annular focal-plane masks and point-symmetric dark zones perform analogous to their corresponding APLCs. However with a knife-edge focal-plane mask and one-sided dark zones, the PAPLC yields inner working angles as close as $1.4λ/D$ at contrasts of $10^{-10}$ and maximum post-coronagraphic throughput of >75% for telescope apertures with central obscurations of up to 30%. We present knife-edge PAPLC designs optimized for the VLT/SPHERE instrument and the LUVOIR-A aperture. These designs show that the knife-edge PAPLC retains its performance, even for realistic telescope pupils with struts, segments and non-circular outer edges.

description: We rigorously prove that an extended Hubbard model with attraction in two dimensions has an unconventional pairing ground state for any electron filling. The anisotropic spin-0 or anisotropic spin-1 pairing symmetry is realized, depending on a phase parameter characterizing the type of local attractive interactions. In both cases the ground state is unique. It is also shown that in a special case, where there are no electron hopping terms, the ground state has Ising-type Néel order at half-filling, when on-site repulsion is furthermore added. Physical applications are mentioned.

description: Short, longer and programmatic rural attachments have developed in a number of medical programmes around the world. However, there is limited literature on the development of the underpinning learning outcomes to guide these attachments. Rural populations are commonly under-served and the specific needs and challenges of rural health care need to be emphasised, as well as encouraging future practice in these areas. Our aim was to produce common rural-specific learning outcomes, aligned with a rationalisation of existing guiding principles and objectives, for our medical student regional-rural programmes. This was achieved through a Delphi technique involving the relevant clinical teachers and supervisors. Forty-nine consenting participants collectively provided 72 learning outcomes which were synthesised down to 16. A consensus process was used to anonymously rate and then rank to reach consensus for the top four learning outcomes. The learning outcomes were placed within the theoretical framework of a ‘pedagogy of place’ based on rurality and triangulated with rural learning outcomes from an Australian study. The four final outcomes were resolved around two areas of ‘place’: geographical and developmental. The co-design approach enabled those involved in providing the rural exposure education to generate appropriate learning outcomes.
