description: Background: Here, we describe the characterization of the VP7 and VP4 genes of rotavirus group A (RVA) strains isolated from Moroccan infants with acute gastroenteritis (AGE) after receiving the Rotarix. Methods: Stool samples were collected from seven infants suffering with AGE. Vesikari 20-point was used while collecting the AGE information. RT-PCR followed by sequencing was employed to determine partial sequences from VP7 and VP4 encoding genes. RVA genotypes were determined using the RotaC online classification tool.The Neighbor-Joining phylogenetic tree was performed in the MEGA 6.06 software as well as the amino acid (aa) alignments of VP7 and VP8* antigenic epitopes. Results: Five children had gastroenteritis episodes defined as severe on the Vesikari scale. Analysis of VP7 gene sequences revealed five G2 and two G9 genotypes. These genotypes were associated with P[4] and P[8], respectively. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that G2 and G9 sequences grouped together with Italian strain belonging to lineage II and III respectively. Their P[4] sequences showed only 65-73% identity and grouped into two separate sub-clusters. The Moroccan P[8] isolates did not display this correlation and segregate to lineage III. The VP8* aa of P[8] when compared with that of the Rotarix vaccine, has a six aa differences. Conclusion: Although, this study does not reveal prevalence rates of RVA in infants after the vaccine introduction, it reports the detection and genetic characteristics of the G2P[4] and G9P[8] RVA types in vaccinated children in Morocco. The findings are suggestive of continuous surveillance program on rotavirus evolution in the vaccinated population.

description: We demonstrate the existence of a class of N=1 supersymmetric nonperturbative vacua of Horava-Witten M-theory compactified on a torus fibered Calabi-Yau 3-fold Z with first homotopy group π_{1}(Z)= Z2, having the following properties: 1) SO(10) grand unification group, 2) net number of three generations of chiral fermions in the observable sector, and 3) potentially viable matter Yukawa couplings. These vacua correspond to semistable holomorphic vector bundles V_{Z} over Z having structure group SU(4)_C, and generically contain M5-branes in the bulk space. The nontrivial first homotopy group allows Wilson line breaking of the SO(10) symmetry. Additionally, we propose how the 11-dimensional Horava-Witten M-theory framework may be used to extend the perturbative calculation of the top quark Yukawa coupling in the realistic free-fermionic models to the nonperturbative regime. The basic argument being that the relevant coupling couples twisted-twisted-untwisted states and can be calculated at the level of the Z2 X Z2 orbifold without resorting to the full three generation models.

A Model of a Turbulent Boundary Layer With a Non-Zero Pressure Gradient

description: According to a model of the turbulent boundary layer proposed by the authors, in the absence of external turbulence the intermediate region between the viscous sublayer and the external flow consists of two sharply separated self-similar structures. The velocity distribution in these structures is described by two different scaling laws. The mean velocity u in the region adjacent to the viscous sublayer is described by the previously obtained Reynolds-number-dependent scaling law $ϕ= u/u_*=Aη^α$, $A=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \ln Re_Λ+ \frac 52$, $α=\frac{3}{2\ln Re_Λ}$, $η= u_* y/ν$. (Here $u_*$ is the dynamic or friction velocity, y is the distance from the wall, $ν$ the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, and the Reynolds number $Re_Λ$ is well defined by the data) In the region adjacent to the external flow the scaling law is different: $ϕ= Bη^β$. The power $β$ for zero-pressure-gradient boundary layers was found by processing various experimental data and is close (with some scatter) to 0.2. We show here that for non-zero-pressure-gradient boundary layers, the power $β$ is larger than 0.2 in the case of adverse pressure gradient and less than 0.2 for favourable pressure gradient. Similarity analysis suggests that both the coefficient B and the power $β$ depend on $Re_Λ$ and on a new dimensionless parameter P proportional to the pressure gradient. Recent experimental data of Perry, Marušić and Jones (1)-(4) were analyzed and the results are in agreement with the model we propose.

description: The spatial variability of the lake surface energy balance and its causes are not well-understood. Energy balance maps (90 m resolution) of Lake Kasumigaura (172 km2), Japan, obtained by interpolating station data and bulk equations, allowed an investigation of these issues. Due to lake-scale variations in meteorological variables and small-scale fluctuations of surface temperature, Ts, surface heat fluxes differed horizontally at two distinct scales, while radiative fluxes were more uniform. As the key variable to surface flux Ts was only homogeneous for directions with a longer fetch or under calm wind conditions. Using these findings, the suitability of two flux station locations, one at the centre of the lake and another within a cove, was considered. Although both locations satisfied the fetch requirements, Ts was not always found to be homogeneous in the cove, making this location less suitable for flux measurements, an issue that, to date, has been overlooked.

description: Since the introduction of strong anticipation by D.~Dubois the numerous investigations of concrete systems have been proposed. In proposed paper the new examples of discrete dynamical systems with anticipation are considered. The mathematical formulation of problems, possible analytical formulas for solutions and numerical examples of presumable solutions are proposed. One of the most interesting properties in such systems is presumable multivaluedness of the solutions. It can be considered from the point of view of dynamical chaos and complex behavior. We represent examples of periodic and complex solutions, attractor's properties and presumable applications in self-organization. The main peculiarity is the strong anticipation property. General new possibilities are the presumable multivaluedness of the dynamics of automata. Possible interpretations of such behavior of cellular automata are discussed. Further prospects for development of automata theory and hyper computation are proposed.

description: Despite their growing economic influence, older consumers are often neglected as a target group because they are considered brand loyal and not flexible in their consumption habits. However, previous research suggests that life transitions may be associated with changes in older consumers’ behavior. To investigate whether late-life transitions predict a greater likelihood of changing food related brand preferences, we conducted two studies, examining four focus groups (preliminary study) and analyzing real purchase data of German consumers from 2004 to 2008 (main study). Our findings provide empirical evidence that life transitions (e.g., transition to retirement) increase the likelihood of changes in food-related brand preferences for older consumers. These findings have implications for policy makers and marketing practitioners.

description: The aim of this research was to determine the effects of different factors of production (farm management strategy, veterinary management, physical farm conditions, and breeding technology) on the performance of Hungarian pig breeding farms. Performance is defined in a broad sense, reflecting the complexity of pig breeding, taking into consideration technological and economic indices. According to our hypothesis a direct, quantifiable stochastic relation can be shown between management strategy, veterinary practice management, construction and building engineering characteristics of plants, breeding technology and the performance of farms. The data for the analysis were acquired by a direct question survey of more than 130 Hungarian pig breeding farms. Utilising these data, different indices were created for each farm with the purpose of information compression. Based on these indicators, a series of linear regression equations was set up to describe the relationship between independent (exogenous) variables, such as management strategy, intervening causal variables (such as the piglet rearing technology and veterinary practice management) and the performance, as the dependent variable. This simultaneous equation model was tested using Mplus® software. The results serve as quantitative, statistical evidence for the effect of management practice in general, and veterinary management in particular, on the performance of pig breeding farms. This can be considered as clear proof of the economic importance of veterinary management.

description: In this work, we propose a toy model for a mixture of superconductors with competitive s and p modes using gauge/gravity duality. We demonstrate that the model undergoes phase transitions with the proper choice of different values for chemical potentials. We consider both balanced and unbalanced cases. We propose that the condensate field in the bulk toy model for a mixing s+p phase of high temperature superconductors undergoes a chaotic phase space scenario. Using a suitable measure function for chaos, we demonstrate the existence of chaotic dynamics via condensate fields. As an alternative method, we also investigate the phase portrait in the extended phase space for the condensates.

description: A Delaunay cell decomposition of a surface with constant curvature gives rise to a circle pattern, consisting of the circles which are circumscribed to the facets. We treat the problem whether there exists a Delaunay cell decomposition for a given (topological) cell decomposition and given intersection angles of the circles, whether it is unique and how it may be constructed. Somewhat more generally, we allow cone-like singularities in the centers and intersection points of the circles. We prove existence and uniqueness theorems for the solution of the circle pattern problem using a variational principle. The functionals (one for the euclidean, one for the hyperbolic case) are convex functions of the radii of the circles. The analogous functional for the spherical case is not convex, hence this case is treated by stereographic projection to the plane. From the existence and uniqueness of circle patterns in the sphere, we derive a strengthened version of Steinitz' theorem on the geometric realizability of abstract polyhedra. We derive the variational principles of Colin de Verdière, Brägger, and Rivin for circle packings and circle patterns from our variational principles. In the case of Brägger's and Rivin's functionals. Leibon's functional for hyperbolic circle patterns cannot be derived directly from our functionals. But we construct yet another functional from which both Leibon's and our functionals can be derived. We present Java software to compute and visualize circle patterns.

description: The study aimed to derive the optimum replacement period for rubber plantation in Nigeria. The analysis was carried out with the data collected from 30 randomly selected rubber estate holders in Nigeria using the profit maximization concept. Results revealed that the optimum period to replace rubber plantation in Nigeria should be at the 35th year. However, the result of the study suggests that the actual replacement period of rubber plantation in Nigeria may vary since factors such as price changes in inputs and outputs, changes in discount rate and income tax and the management ability of the plantation owner can either shift the replacement period upward or downward. The policy conclusions follow that farmers will have to keep accurate records of the right nature for management purposes and that research on market development and price forecasting should be improved.

With a stabilized radion, a number of different cosmological bulk solutions are found in a general case. Both one and two brane models are considered. The Friedmann equation is calculated in each case. Particular attention is paid to six dimensional models where we find that the usual Friedmann equation can typically be recovered without fine-tuning.

description: This paper contributes towards the benchmarking of control architectures for bipedal robot locomotion. It considers architectures that are based on the Divergent Component of Motion (DCM) and composed of three main layers: trajectory optimization, simplified model control, and whole-body QP control layer. While the first two layers use simplified robot models, the whole-body QP control layer uses a complete robot model to produce either desired positions, velocities, or torques inputs at the joint-level. This paper then compares two implementations of the simplified model control layer, which are tested with position, velocity, and torque control modes for the whole-body QP control layer. In particular, both an instantaneous and a Receding Horizon controller are presented for the simplified model control layer. We show also that one of the proposed architectures allows the humanoid robot iCub to achieve a forward walking velocity of 0.3372 meters per second, which is the highest walking velocity achieved by the iCub robot.

description: Social capital matters in determining a person’s or a family’s material well-being. It is argued that social capital functions similar to the traditional production factors. However, there are not many empirical analyses looking into this hypothesis at the farm-household level in general and in post-communist countries in particular. Whether or not social capital affects farm income is tested in this paper in two ways using micro-data from 185 Bulgarian semi-subsistence farm households (SFHs). First, it is tested whether social capital has an impact on agricultural income. Whether social capital promotes more efficient farming is evaluated in a second step. The findings confirm the hypothesis that social capital not only increases agricultural income, but also the efficiency of agricultural production among SFHs in Bulgaria. However, different specifications of social capital may impact income and efficiency in a diverse way. While good relations to corporate farms are significant in getting higher agricultural incomes, good relations to large-scale private farmers significantly impact efficient managerial capability of SFHs. It is suggested that good links to the second group are vital for those SFHs, which aim at becoming viable farmers in the future.

description: The paper examines determinants of household food security among rural households in the Ada Berga district in central Ethiopia. Household calorie acquisition was analyzed to measure the status of household food security. Based on the survey of 196 farm households, the logistic model was estimated. Variables related to experiences in farming activities, off-farm and non-farm incomes, land and livestock holdings, as well as soil and water conservation practices significantly affect household food security. A difference in the use of chemical fertilizer has a positive impact on food security where improved food security was observed as the intensity of fertilizer use increases. Results indicate that development interventions aiming at increased income diversification, improved supply of fertilizer, increasing land and livestock productivity will immensely contribute to the attainment of food security. In general, the results of the study produce the implication that attaining food security in the highlands of Ethiopia requires adoption of mixed strategies and policies.

description: Static and dynamic critical behavior of Sn$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ type ferroelectrics and (Pb$_y$Sn$_{1-y}$)$_2$P$_2$(Se$_x$S$_{1-x}$)$_6$ mixed crystals with line of tricritical points and line of Lifshitz points on the $T-x-y$ phase diagram, which meet at the tricritical Lifshitz point, can be described in a combined BEG-ANNNI model. Such the model considers first and second neighbor interactions for pseudospins in a local three-well potential. Below the temperature of tricritical Lifshitz point, the "chaotic" state accompanied by the coexistence of ferroelectric, metastable paraelectric and modulated phases is expected. In addition to the frustration of polar fluctuations near the Brillouin zone center, in Sn$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ crystal the antipolar fluctuations also strongly develop in the paraelectric phase at cooling to continuous phase transition temperature $T_0$. Here, critical behavior can be described as a crossover between Ising and XY universality classes, what is expected near bicritical points with coupled polar and antipolar order parameters and competing instabilities in $q$-space.

description: In an attempt to address a racially skewed land distribution and alleviate rural poverty, Zimbabwe has, since its independence, pursued redistributive land reform programmes. The latest phase of these programmes is the Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP) launched in 2000 to accelerate compulsory acquisition and resettlement of land. This paper uses data on FTLRP beneficiaries and a control group of unsuccessful communal applicants to examine the programme’s impact on the technical efficiency of its beneficiaries. To account for possible systematic selection into FTLRP, we employ a probit selection equation and estimate a corrected Cobb- Douglas stochastic frontier function model. The resultant inefficiency model estimates reveal that FTLRP beneficiaries are more technically efficient than communal farmers. Further, there exist a nonlinear relationship between farm size and technical efficiency. Fencing parcels and livestock holdings is found to improve technical efficiency suggesting that alleviating resource constraints would enhance technical efficiency of smallholder agriculture.

description: The CCD magnitudes in Johnson $UBV$ and Cousins $RI$ photometric passbands for the afterglow of the long duration GRB 030226 are presented. Upper limits of a few mJy to millimeter wave emission at the location of optical are obtained over the first two weeks. The optical data presented here, in combination with other published data on this afterglow, show an early $R$ band flux decay slope of 0.77$\pm$0.04, steepening to 2.05$\pm$0.04 about 0.65$\pm$0.03 day after the burst. Interpreted as the ``jet break'', this indicates a half opening angle of $\sim 3.2$ degree for the initial ejection, for an assumed ambient density of $\sim 1 {\rm cm}^{-3}$. Broadband spectra show no appreciable evolution during the observations, and indicate the presence of synchrotron cooling frequency $ν_c$ near the upper edge of the optical band. From the broadband spectra we derive an electron energy distribution index $p = 2.07\pm0.06$ and an intrinsic extinction $E(B - V)\sim0.17$. Millimeter upper limits are consistent with these derived parameters.

description: C14 Nb(Fe89.4Al10.6)2 Laves phase intermetallic compound was investigated by DC magnetization (M) measurements performed in the temperature (T) interval of 20 to 175 K,under an applied magnetic field (H) ranging between 50 and 1250 Oe. Magnetization curves were recorded in the field-cooled (FC) and in the zero-field-cooled (ZFC) modes. They clearly showed an irreversible character that vanished at H=1250 Oe. Both magnetization curves exhibited well-defined peaks around T_N =72.3 K whose positions were H-independent, so they were identified as the compound's Néel temperature. The existence of irreversibility which decreases with H testify to a re-entrant character of magnetism in the studied compound. An increase of both MFC and MZFC observed below TN likely indicates a mixed i.e. ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ground magnetic state of the studied system.

description: Many metabolic consequences of the excess lipid storage observed in obesity have been documented in humans and mammals, but the effects of an obese phenotype on reproductive behavior are less understood. Drosophila melanogaster (Meigan, 1830) is well suited to study the ramifications of excess energy storage as they are commonly used to explore the genes important for energy utilization. However, little is known about the reproductive behavior of mutants in these metabolic genes. Therefore, we tested, for the first time, courtship of the naturally occurring adipose (adp60) mutation which accumulates excess triglycerides and glycogen. Adipose mutants showed decreased courtship behaviors as well as copulation rate. The decrease in copulation rate could in part be explained by the decrease in courtship behaviors such as wing scissoring and wing vibration. Taken together, the data presented here suggest that the adp60 mutants may negatively affect male fly reproductive behavior and provide a system to further our understanding of the genetic and metabolic control of reproductive behaviors and reproductive potential.

description: Most quantum processors requires pulse sequences for controlling quantum states. Here, we present an alternative algorithm for computing an optimal pulse sequence in order to perform a specific task, being an implementation of a quantum gate or a quantum state preparation. In our method, we reduced drastically the number of parameters to be fitted, by using a limited number of functions as the modulations for the amplitude and phase of the radio-frequency pulses, and employed approximations to make the algorithm fast and scalable. We demonstrate the success of the proposed algorithm, by performing several real experiments for 4, 7 and 12 quantum bits systems using NMR. In addition, we have also shown the efficiency of the algorithm, finding pulses for controlling with good fidelity the quantum states of spins in a fictional square bi-dimensional lattices containing 16, 36 and 100 qubits.

description: We exhibit a situation in which cosmological perturbations of astrophysical relevance propagating through a bounce are affected in a scale-dependent way. Involving only the evolution of a scalar field in a closed universe described by general relativity, the model is consistent with causality. Such a specific counter-example leads to the conclusion that imposing causality is not sufficient to determine the spectrum of perturbations after a bounce provided it is known before. We discuss consequences of this result for string motivated scenarios.

description: The recent international financial crisis and the steady decrease in development assistance have put many poor countries under increasing pressure to target more accurately their public spendings at the poor and the population in need. However, further progress is hampered by the lack of accurate and operationally reliable methods for identifying the targeted population affected by poverty. Therefore, this paper develops low cost and fairly accurate models for improving the targeting efficiency of development policies. Using household-level survey data from Malawi, this research applies various econometric methods along with out-of-sample tests to develop operational poverty targeting models for the country. Though there is a scope for further improvements, the results show that the developed models can considerably improve the poverty outreach of development policies compared to the currently used targeting mechanisms in the country. Likewise, this research can be replicated in other developing countries.

description: „Mythen, die sich plötzlich neu entzündeten.“1 – So symptomatisch, wie es derJournalist Benedikt Herber in seinem Artikel über das Cassandra-Projekt desTübinger Literaturinstituts beobachtet, könnte man dem Phänomen der unversehenswieder auftauchenden antiken Mythen und mythologischen Bezüge durch dieJahrhunderte hindurch geradezu 'traditionellen' Charakter nachweisen. Ein Beispielaus der Gegenwart: das Cassandra-Projekt ist ein 2017 gestartetesForschungsprojekt, in dem Literatur auf ihr „Konfliktpotenzial“ hin ausgewertet wird,als eine „Art Seismograf, der narrative Erschütterungen [...] misst und auf dieseWeise politische Eskalationen vorhersagt“.2 Zurückgegriffen wird hierbei auf einTopos der Untergangsvision, personifiziert in Kassandra, der trojanischen Seherin,die ihr eigenes und das Ende Trojas vorhersagt, doch durch die Ignoranz, die ihrentgegenschlägt, nicht in der Lage ist, das Unheil aufzuhalten. Der 'Kassandra-Ruf',ein Synonym für negativ konnotierte Zukunftsvisionen, auch mit 'Schwarzmalerei'assoziiert, ist neben dem 'Ödipus-Komplex' oder dem 'Trojaner' ein gutes Beispielder Alltagsrezeption von Mythen.3 Warum behalten Mythen durch die Epochen ihreWirkkraft und gar Einzug in die Alltagssprache?Im Mythos werden existenzielle menschliche Probleme und Konflikte verhandelt. DieÜberzeitlichkeit ihrer Erzählungen wird durch das Einfügen in die jeweilige Zeit, dieständige Aktualisierung, Aneignung, Transformation und Umdeutung neu stimuliert.4Der Blick auf diese Geschichte der Auserzählungen und Nuancierungen vonmythischen Narrationen gibt Auskunft über die Interpretierenden, ihre Intentionenselbst.5 In der bildenden Kunst hat besonders die Rezeption der Mythologie dergriechischen Antike eine lange Tradition. Von Heiner Müller als „geronnenekollektive Erfahrung“6 betitelt, spiegelt sich in der Aufnahme mythologischer Themenund Motive das Potenzial, Mythen als sinnbildhaften Ausdruck eigenerLebensumstände wahrzunehmen.7 Dementsprechend 'einfach' lassen sichmythische Stoffe mit individuellen Botschaften füttern.

description: It is argued that a phenomenologically viable grand unification model from superstring is $SU(3)^3$, the simplest gauge group among the grand unifications of the electroweak hypercharge embedded in semi-simple groups. We construct a realistic 4D $SU(3)^3$ model with the GUT scale $\sin^2θ_W^0= \frac38$ in a $Z_3$ orbifold with Wilson line(s). By two GUT scale vacuum expectation values, we obtain a rank 4 supersymmetric standard model below the GUT scale, and predict three more strange families.
