description: The effects of climate change on agriculture raise major food security concerns. We use a global economy-wide model to assess the effects on farm product prices of expected yield changes. Also modelled is an expected adverse effect of higher temperatures and humidity in the tropics on the productivity of unskilled workers in developing countries. Given the degrees of uncertainty about plausible effects of climate change, our modelling accounts for a range of yield productivity and labor shocks. The results entail consequences for international agricultural prices, national food consumption, self sufficiency, net farm income and economic welfare.

description: Children and mothers’ cortisol production in response to family psychosocial conditions, including parenting demands, family resource availability and parental conflict, has been extensively studied in the USA and Europe. Less is known about how such family dynamics relate to family members' cortisol in societies with a strong cultural emphasis on cooperative caring. We studied a cumulative indicator of cortisol production, measured from fingernails, among BaYaka forager children (77 samples, n = 48 individuals) and their parents (78 samples, n = 49) in the Congo Basin. Men ranked one another according to locally valued roles for fathers, including providing resources for the family, sharing resources in the community and engaging in less marital conflict. Children had higher cortisol if their parents were ranked as having greater parental conflict, and their fathers were seen as less effective providers and less generous sharers of resources in the community. Children with lower triceps skinfold thickness (an indicator of energetic condition) also had higher cortisol. Parental cortisol was not significantly correlated to men's fathering rankings, including parental conflict. Our results indicate that even in a society in which caring is highly cooperative, children's cortisol production was nonetheless correlated to parental conflict as well as variation in locally defined fathering quality.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Multidisciplinary perspectives on social support and maternal-child health’.

description: Non-perturbative corrections from loop quantum cosmology (LQC) to the scalar matter sector is already known to imply inflation. We prove that the LQC modified scalar field generates exponential inflation in the small scale factor regime, for all positive definite potentials, independent of initial conditions and independent of ambiguity parameters. For positive semi-definite potentials it is always possible to choose, without fine tuning, a value of one of the ambiguity parameters such that exponential inflation results, provided zeros of the potential are approached at most as a power law in the scale factor. In conjunction with generic occurrence of bounce at small volumes, particle horizon is absent thus eliminating the horizon problem of the standard Big Bang model.

description: Understanding and tuning correlated states is of great interest and significance to modern condensed matter physics. The recent discovery of unconventional superconductivity and Mott-like insulating states in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) presents a unique platform to study correlation phenomena, in which the Coulomb energy dominates over the quenched kinetic energy as a result of hybridized flat bands. Extending this approach to the case of twisted multilayer graphene would allow even higher control over the band structure because of the reduced symmetry of the system. Here, we study electronic transport properties in twisted trilayer graphene (tTLG, bilayer on top of monolayer graphene heterostructure). We observed the formation of van Hove singularities which are highly tunable by twist angle and displacement field and can cause strong correlation effects under optimum conditions, including superconducting states. We provide basic theoretical interpretation of the observed electronic structure.

description: In the face of likely climate change impacts policy makers at different spatial scales need access to assessment tools that enable informed policy instruments to be designed. Recent scientific advances have facilitated the development of improved climate projections, but it remains to be seen whether these are translated into effective adaptation strategies. This paper uses existing databases on climate impacts on European agriculture and combines them with an assessment of adaptive capacity to develop an interdisciplinary approach for prioritising policies. It proposes a method for identifying relevant policies for different EU countries that are representative of various agroclimatic zones. Our analysis presents a framework for integrating current knowledge of future climate impacts with an understanding of the underlying socio-economic, agricultural and environmental traits that determine a region’s capacity for adapting to climate change.

description: So far, the circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) is the only possible quantized signal in Weyl semimetals. With inversion and mirror symmetries broken, Weyl and multifold fermions in band structures with opposite chiralities can stay at different energies and generate a net topological charge. Such kind of net topological charge can present as a quantized signal in the circular polarized light induced injection current. According to current theoretical understanding, RhSi and its counterparts are believed to be the most promising candidate for the experimental observation of the quantized CPGE. However, the real quantized signal was not experimentally observed to date. Since all the previous theoretical studies for the quantized CPGE were based on effective model but not realistic band structures, it should lose some crucial details that influence the quantized signal. The current status motives us to perform a realistic ab-initio study for the CPGE. Our result shows that the quantized value is very easy to be interfered by trivial bands related optic transitions, and an fine tuning of the chemical potential by doping is essential for the observation of quantized CPGE. This work performs the first ab-initio analysis for the quantized CPGE based on realistic electronic band structure and provides an effective way to solve the current problem for given materials.

description: This paper focuses on the active flow control of a computational fluid dynamics simulation over a range of Reynolds numbers using deep reinforcement learning (DRL). More precisely, the proximal policy optimization (PPO) method is used to control the mass flow rate of four synthetic jets symmetrically located on the upper and lower sides of a cylinder immersed in a two-dimensional flow domain. The learning environment supports four flow configurations with Reynolds numbers 100, 200, 300 and 400, respectively. A new smoothing interpolation function is proposed to help the PPO algorithm to learn to set continuous actions, which is of great importance to effectively suppress problematic jumps in lift and allow a better convergence for the training process. It is shown that the DRL controller is able to significantly reduce the lift and drag fluctuations and to actively reduce the drag by approximately 5.7%, 21.6%, 32.7%, and 38.7%, at $Re$=100, 200, 300, and 400 respectively. More importantly, it can also effectively reduce drag for any previously unseen value of the Reynolds number between 60 and 400. This highlights the generalization ability of deep neural networks and is an important milestone to active flow control.

This study requires the analisis of the possible saturated fusion systems in terms of the outer automorphism group ant the proper F-radical subgroups. Also, for each case in the classification, either we give a finite group with the corresponding fusion system or we check that it corresponds to an exotic p-local finite group, getting some new examples of these for p = 3.

description: Adaptation to the consequences of climate change can depend on efficient use of ecosystem services (ES), i.e. a better use of natural services through management of the way in which they are delivered to society. While much discussion focuses on reducing consumption and increasing production of services, a lack of scientific instruments has so far prevented other mechanisms to improve ecosystem services efficiency from being addressed systematically as an adaptation strategy. This paper describes new methodologies for assessing ecosystem services and quantifying their values to humans, highlighting the role of ecosystem service flow analysis in optimizing the efficiency of ES provision.

description: Interdisziplinäre Forschung ist ein seit vielen Jahrzehnten besprochenes und praktiziertes Konzept, um verschiedene Facetten eines Themas einander ergänzend untersuchen und reale Probleme ohne disziplinäre Einengungen lösen zu können. Institutionelle Repositorien sind etablierte digitale Infrastrukturen von Institutionen wie Universitäten, relevant bei der Open-Access-Transformation und dienen neben der Archivierung und Veröffentlichung von wissenschaftlichen Publikationen auch der Erzeugung von nachnutzbaren beschreibenden Metadaten. Bibliotheken beschäftigen sich mit der Abbildung von Publikationen und betreiben überwiegend auch die genannten Repositorien. Einen direkten Weg zur Recherche von interdisziplinären Veröffentlichungen scheint es allerdings nicht zu geben, genauso fehlt eine wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung eben jener Sichtbarkeit in bibliothekarischen Systemen wie z. B. Repositorien. Zur Erforschung dieser scheinbaren Differenz gegenüber dem Stellenwert in der wissenschaftlichen Praxis unterteilt sich die Arbeit in drei Teilstudien, um mit unterschiedlichen Methoden sich ergänzende Erkenntnisse zu ermöglichen. Neben einer qualitativen Analyse von händisch ausgewählten Metadatensätzen interdisziplinärer Publikationen, wurde auch eine quantitative Analyse eines größeren Datensatzes auf Grundlage der wörtlichen Nennung sowie eine überregionale Untersuchung von Repositorien direkt in den Suchportalen durchgeführt. In den Ergebnissen ließ sich feststellen, dass es Wege zu interdisziplinären Publikationen gibt, die aber nicht aktiv mit diesem Ziel konzipiert sind oder gestaltet werden. Das Zusammenspiel von unter anderem an Organisationsstrukturen orientierten Sammlungen, disziplinärer Klassifikation, Selbsteingabe durch die Autor:innen sowie nicht-hierarchischen Metadatenstrukturen macht es in jedem Fall nötig, die Publikationen einzeln zu prüfen. Die Identifizierung in der Itemansicht wird zwar in der Regel nicht strukturell unterstützt, ist aber auf Basis der üblichen Eingaben und Informationen aus dem Volltext möglich.

description: Isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulations are used to examine the microscopic structure and principal thermodynamic properties of a model solution consisting of NaCl salt dissolved in methanol solvent. Four united atom force fields for methanol are involved. Concerning ion solutes we used the Joung-Cheatham, Smith-Dang models as well as the model from the laboratory of Vrabec. Our principal focus is to evaluate the quality of predictions of different combinations of models for basic properties of these solutions. Specifically, we explored the change of density on molality, the structural properties in terms of various pair distribution functions, the coordination numbers, the number of ion pairs and the average number of hydrogen bonds. In addition, changes of the self-diffusion coefficients of species, the solvent dielectric constant and the evolution of the surface tension with ion concentration are described.

description: Climate change poses great risks for China, which makes adaptation an essential response. However, adaptation planning and implementation are still at a preliminary stage with respect to the theoretical framework and methodology. This article focuses on the status, problems and basic needs as regards adaptation to climate change, and outlines the operational framework that the government is seeking to pursue for China’s adapting to climate change. The conclusion is that, to satisfy the basic needs of development, it is necessary to clarify development-oriented and incremental adaptation. Furthermore measures to enhance adaptive capacity can be classified as infrastructure-based, technology-based and institutional. Lastly the authors stress the importance of appraising adaptation actions and measures from an economic perspective.
A cold war internet architected in the WWI Vorticist revolution

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Can poetic theories designed to overcome poetic communication problems be used to solve data communication problems? Does data communications have an aesthetic and is it undergoing the same historical shifts to refine its communications in the steps of poetic theories? These are the questions that were asked in an investigation and comparison of the problems, motivations and solutions of Vorticist poetic theories, and the historical accounts of the invention of the Internet. The conclusion of this thesis is that the deep structure revolution of the WWI, Vorticist poetic theories recurred in the Cold War era design of the 1960s internet architecture. Specifically, it was the poetic theories of Vorticism designed by the engineering mind and Chinese language efficiencies of Ezra Pound, which had blasted the voice and symbol-based, central authority of the heroic post-Romantic poet, into a discrete, compressed communication aesthetic of rushing ideas between peer nodal vortexes, that recurred in the design of the Internet. It was when Vorticism was at the height of recognition in 1960s academic circles, and data communications was simultaneously seeking solutions to develop a new architecture, that data communication architects resolved "Romantic" telephony and mainframe communication problems in the historical revolutionary path of Vorticism.

description: We investigate the analogy between circumstellar disks and the Taylor-Couette flow. Using the Reynolds similarity principle, the analogy results in a number of parameter-free predictions about stability of the disks, and their turbulent transport properties, provided the disk structure is available. We discuss how the latter can be deduced from interferometric observations of circumstellar material. We use the resulting disk structure to compute the molecular transport coefficients, including the effect of ionization by the central object. The resulting control parameter indicates that the disk is well into the turbulent regime. The analogy is also used to compute the effective accretion rate, as a function of the disk characteristic parameters (orbiting velocity, temperature and density). These values are in very good agreement with experimental, parameter-free predictions derived from the analogy. The turbulent viscosity is also computed and found to correspond to an $α$-parameter $2\times 10^{-4}

Predicting blood pressure and heart rate change with cardiovascular reactivity and recovery : results from 3-year and 10-year follow-up
Creators: name: Moseley, Janine V.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: We examined whether cardiovascular reactivity to and recovery from lab-induced stress is useful in predicting 3-year and/or 10-year changes in ambulatory blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) among initially normotensive, community-dwelling adults and university students. At baseline, participants completed one day of laboratory testing, which included a 20- minute baseline assessment followed by three counterbalanced five-minute laboratory challenges (mental arithmetic, speech, and handgrip). Five-minute recovery periods followed each challenge. Measurements of systolic BP, diastolic BP, and HR were collected throughout this lab protocol. Data were then collected on 10-12 hours of ambulatory monitoring at 3-year follow-up, and on 24 hours of ambulatory monitoring at 10-year follow-up. Regression analyses indicated that after adjustment for initial resting cardiovascular levels along with predictive demographic and risk factor variables, aggregate reactivity scores explained unique and significant variance in ambulatory levels for all of the 3-year indices and two of the three 10-year indices (it did not improve the 10-year HR predictor model). When aggregate recovery data were forced into the models in a later step, it was found to explain unique and significant variance in ambulatory levels above that explained by initial resting cardiovascular levels, predictive demographic and risk factor variables, and aggregate reactivity scores for all of the 3-year indices. Moreover, in these final prediction models, the recovery data appeared to be significantly more predictive than the respective reactivity data. With respect to the 10-year data, aggregate recovery data did not significantly improve prediction models, although it again was found to be more predictive than respective reactivity data in two of the three final 10-year models (the 10-year DBP model did not follow this trend). Family hypertension history data were not found to be significantly associated with reactivity or recovery data, nor was it found to be predictive of longitudinal ambulatory data after adjustment for initial resting cardiovascular levels. In conclusion, our data thoroughly support the utility of reactivity and (particularly) recovery in predicting proximal BP and HR changes, generally support the use of reactivity in long-term BP predictions, and attest to the overall superiority of the DBP model in these predictions.

In particular, $\R$-trees are characterized among geodesic metric spaces by the property that the intersection of any two balls is always a ball. Both Gromov hyperbolicity and CAT($κ$) geometry can be characterised in terms of the geometry of the intersection of balls.

description: As a consequence of Climate Change sea level rise as well as a change in the intensity and propensity of rain are expected in the Basque Country. Valuing the costs and benefits of adapting to these changes becomes an important piece of information for the planning process. This paper develops two methodological frameworks. The first one devoted to estimating the economic impacts to urban areas of an increase in the risk of flooding. The values estimated for the Nervión river in the city of Amurrio (Álava) indicate that the average expected damage will increase in 15 per cent as a consequence of CC (from €56,097 to €64,451). For an extreme episode the total loss could increase to €20 million. The second framework is oriented towards the valuation of the damages as a consequence of sea level rise for 2100. The values in this case range from €87 to €231 million, that is, between €0.87 and €2.3 million per hectare.

description: Controlling crowd simulations typically involves tweaking complex parameter sets to attempt to reach a desired outcome, which can be unintuitive for non- technical users. This paper presents an approach to control pedestrian simulations in real time via sketching. Users are able to create entrances/exits, barriers to block paths, flow lines to guide pedestrians, waypoint areas, and storyboards to specify the journeys of crowd subgroups. Additionally, a timeline interface can be used to control when simulation events occur. The sketching approach is supported by a tiled navigation mesh (navmesh), based on the open source tool RE- CAST, to support pedestrian navigation. The navmesh is updated in real time based on the user’s sketches and the simulation updates accordingly. A comparison between our navmesh approach and the more often used grid-based navigation approach is given, showing that the navmesh approach scales better for large environments. The paper also presents possible solutions to address the question of when pedestrians should react to real-time changes to the environment, whether or not these changes are in their field of vision. The effectiveness of the system is demonstrated with a set of scenarios and a practical application which make use of a 3D model of an area of a UK city centre created using data from OPENSTREETMAP.

description: This paper analyzes the various contributions made in the economic literature that influence climate change vulnerability. We try to create conceptual order and transparence in the contributions identifying the assumptions and constraints that each school has introduced into academic debate and practical application. We analyze the conceptual framework that articulates the debate, review the theoretical approaches developed in the literature identifying the object of analysis and the basics of each theory, so that the real model implications are established in each case study. From this scheme we derive a clarifying proposal for organizing theoretical discourse. We specifically focus on the theoretical assumptions underlying each model. We conclude with some criteria for choosing the right models in each case and a general guideline for future research

description: Energy dependence of quark transverse flow carries information about dynamical properties (equation of state, initial conditions) of deconfined matter produced in heavy ion collisions. We assume quark-antiquark matter formation in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS and Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies and determine quark transverse flow at the critical temperature of the quark-hadron phase transition. Coalescence of massive quarks is calculated in the MICOR hadronization model and hadronic final state effects are considered using the GROMIT cascade program. Comparing theoretical results to data, transverse flow values are determined and energy dependence is discussed.

The cooling of muon beams is proving to be the greatest obstacle in the realization of a Muon Collider. Monte Carlo simulations of a muon cooling scheme based on Frictional Cooling were performed. Critical issues, which require further study, relating to the technical feasibility of such a scheme are identified. Frictional Cooling, as outlined in this paper, provides sufficient six-dimensional emittance to make luminous collisions possible. It holds exciting potential in solving the problem of Muon Cooling.

The assessment focuses on climate change impacts on carbon sequestration services provided by European forest, cropland and grassland ecosystems and on provisioning services, but provided by forest and cropland ecosystems only. To do this via a CGE model it is necessary to identify first the role that these ecosystem services play in marketable transactions; then how climate change can impact these services; and finally how the economic system reacts to those changes by adjusting demand and supply across sectors, domestically and internationally

description: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most extensively employed signals used in the diagnosis and prediction of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The ECG signals can capture the heart's rhythmic irregularities, commonly known as arrhythmias. A careful study of ECG signals is crucial for precise diagnoses of patients' acute and chronic heart conditions. In this study, we propose a two-dimensional (2-D) convolutional neural network (CNN) model for the classification of ECG signals into eight classes; namely, normal beat, premature ventricular contraction beat, paced beat, right bundle branch block beat, left bundle branch block beat, atrial premature contraction beat, ventricular flutter wave beat, and ventricular escape beat. The one-dimensional ECG time series signals are transformed into 2-D spectrograms through short-time Fourier transform. The 2-D CNN model consisting of four convolutional layers and four pooling layers is designed for extracting robust features from the input spectrograms. Our proposed methodology is evaluated on a publicly available MIT-BIH arrhythmia dataset. We achieved a state-of-the-art average classification accuracy of 99.11\%, which is better than those of recently reported results in classifying similar types of arrhythmias. The performance is significant in other indices as well, including sensitivity and specificity, which indicates the success of the proposed method.

description: A tanulmányban a Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok megyében végzett, a mezőgazdasági szaktanácsadásra vonatkozó kérdőíves felmérés eredményeit közli a szerző. A kérdőíveket a megyében dolgozó gazdálkodók, szaktanácsadók és a falugazdászok töltötték ki. A felmérésből kiderült, hogy a gazdálkodók elsősorban a pályázatkészítéshez és az EU tagságból adódó információhoz-jutáshoz kérik a szaktanácsadók segítségét. Kiemelendő a környezetkímélő technológiák alkalmazásával összefüggő ismeretek iránti fokozott érdeklődés, valamint a gyakorlati képzésre is alkalmas bemutató gazdaságok létrehozása iránti igény. A hatékony szaktanácsadás legfőbb akadálya a jelenlegi szervezeti keret és a finanszírozási rendszer. A falugazdászok fontosnak tartják a szaktanácsadókkal való szorosabb együttműködést, valamint a tájspecifikus bemutató gazdaságok létrehozását. Nélkülözhetetlen az állami szerepvállalás a felső- és középfokú oktatási intézményekre, tangazdaságaikra és a kutatóintézetekre alapozott hálózat kialakításában, valamint a finanszírozási rendszer megváltoztatásában. ------------------------------------------- It transpired from the survey that farmers seek the help of the consultants primarily for preparing grant applications and accessing information resulting from EU membership. Increased interest in knowledge related to the utilisation of environmentally friendly technologies should be highlighted, as should the demand for the establishment of model farms suitable for practical training. The role of the State is essential in developing a network based on the institutions, model farms and research facilities of higher and secondary education, and in changing the system of financing.

description: Stars form as an end product of the gravitational collapse of cold, dense gas in magnetized molecular clouds. This multi-scale scenario occurs via the formation of two quasi-hydrostatic cores and involves complex physical processes, which require a robust, self-consistent numerical treatment. The aim of this study is to understand the formation and evolution of the second Larson core and the dependence of its properties on the initial cloud core mass. We used the PLUTO code to perform high resolution, 1D and 2D RHD collapse simulations. We include self-gravity and use a grey FLD approximation for the radiative transfer. Additionally, we use for the gas EOS density- and temperature-dependent thermodynamic quantities to account for the effects such as dissociation, ionisation, and molecular vibrations and rotations. Properties of the second core are investigated using 1D studies spanning a wide range of initial cloud core masses from 0.5 to 100 $M_{\odot}$. Furthermore, we expand to 2D collapse simulations for a few cases of 1, 5, 10, and 20 $M_{\odot}$. We follow the evolution of the second core for $\geq$ 100 years after its formation, for each of these non-rotating cases. Our results indicate a dependence of several second core properties on the initial cloud core mass. For the first time, due to an unprecedented resolution, our 2D non-rotating collapse studies indicate that convection is generated in the outer layers of the second core, which is formed due to the gravitational collapse of a 1 $M_{\odot}$ cloud core. Additionally, we find large-scale oscillations of the second accretion shock front triggered by the standing accretion shock instability, which has not been seen before in early evolutionary stages of stars. We predict that the physics within the second core would not be significantly influenced by the effects of magnetic fields or an initial cloud rotation.

description: It has been shown that mere observation of body discontinuity leads to diminished body ownership. However, the impact of body discontinuity has mainly been investigated in conditions where participants observe a collocated static virtual body from a first-person perspective. This study explores the influence of body discountinuity on the sense of embodiment, when rich visuomotor correlations between a real and an artificial virtual body are established. In two experiments, we evaluated body ownership and motor performance, when participants interacted in virtual reality either using virtual hands connected or disconnected from a body. We found that even under the presence of congruent visuomotor feedback, mere observation of body discontinuity resulted in diminished embodiment. Contradictory evidence was found in relation to motor performance, where further research is needed to understand the role of visual body discontinuity in motor tasks. Preliminary findings on physiological reactions to a threat were also assessed, indicating that body visual discontinuity does not differently impact threat-related skin conductance responses. The present results are in accordance with past evidence showing that body discontinuity negatively impacts embodiment. However, further research is needed to understand the influence of visuomotor feedback and body morphological congruency on motor performance and threat-related physiological reactions.

description: Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It was first identified in Wuhan, China, and has since spread causing a global pandemic. Various studies have been performed to understand the molecular mechanisms of viral infection for predicting drug repurposing candidates. However, such information is spread across many publications and it is very time-consuming to access, integrate, explore, and exploit. We developed CoVex, the first interactive online platform for SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1 host interactome exploration and drug (target) identification. CoVex integrates 1) experimentally validated virus-human protein interactions, 2) human protein-protein interactions and 3) drug-target interactions. The web interface allows user-friendly visual exploration of the virus-host interactome and implements systems medicine algorithms for network-based prediction of drugs. Thus, CoVex is an important resource, not only to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1 pathogenicity, but also in clinical research for the identification and prioritization of candidate therapeutics. We apply CoVex to investigate recent hypotheses on a systems biology level and to systematically explore the molecular mechanisms driving the virus life cycle. Furthermore, we extract and discuss drug repurposing candidates involved in these mechanisms. CoVex renders COVID-19 drug research systems-medicine-ready by giving the scientific community direct access to network medicine algorithms integrating virus-host-drug interactions.

description: We report the numerical calculations of the static vortex structure and critical curves in exponentially shaped long Josephson junctions for in-line and overlap geometries. Each solution of the corresponding boundary value problem is associated with the Sturm-Liouville problem whose minimal eigenvalue allows to make a conclusion about the stability of the vortex. The change in width of the junction leads to the renormalization of the magnetic flux in comparison to the case of a linear one-dimensional model. We study the influence of the model's parameters and, particularly, the shape parameter on the stability of the states of the magnetic flux. We compare the vortex structure and critical curves for the in-line and overlap geometries. Our numerically constructed critical curve of the Josephson junction matches well with the experimental one.
