description: The hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis regulates energy balance through the pleiotropic action of thyroid hormones. HPT basal activity and stimulation by cold or voluntary exercise are repressed by previous chronic stress in adults. As maternal separation (MS) modifies HPT basal activity we now studied the response of the axis to energy demands and analyzed possible epigenetic changes on Trh promoter. Non-handled (NH) or MS male Wistar rats were cold exposed for 1h at adulthood that stimulated Trh expression in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and serum TSH concentration only in NH rats. MS male rats responded to two weeks of running-wheel exercise similarly to NH-, increased Trh expression and decreased fat mass and leptin serum-concentration. Although NH-females ran more than MS and much more than males, exercise decreased body weight and reduced fat mass only in NH-rats with no change on any parameter of HPT axis but increased Pomc expression in arcuate-nucleus NH-, whereas Npy in MS-females. Overall methylation pattern of PVN Trh gene promoter was similar in NH-males or -females; MS modified methylation of specific CpG sites, a thyroid-hormone receptor (THR) binding site present after the initiation site was hypomethylated in MS-males, whereas in MS-females the THR binding-site of the proximal promoter (site 4) and two sites in the first intron were hypermethylated. Our studies showed that, in a sex dimorphic manner, MS blunted the responses of HPT axis to energy demands in adult animals and caused methylation changes on Trh promoter that could alter T3 feedback.

Theromyzon tessulatum

description: Theromyzon tessulatum (O.F. Müller, 1774)
(Fig. 2E)
 Diagnosis: The body is dorsoventrally flattened and nearly translucent. The colour of living specimens is green to grey. The dorsal body surface shows four rows of longitudinal papillae. The head bears four pairs of eyes and the genital pores are separated by four annuli. The species is known as bloodsucker of birds.
 Habitat: Found under stones, it seems to prefer stagnant or slow flowing water bodies most often of artificial origin such as drainage basins. The presence of aquatic birds appears to be important.
 Distribution: This species was described as Hirudo tessulata from Lake Frederiksdahl, Denmark. Soós (1969) and Minelli (1979) reported it from the Palaearctic region and South America. In the Middle East, T. tessulatum was reported in Palestine and Lebanon by Blanchard (1893) and Moore (1944). Bromley (1994), in his investigation in the Middle East, did not find this leech and suggested that it may have disappeared in this region. Recently, Jueg (2008 a) has collected it in Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan) and Spain. The species was already reported by Johansson (1927) in Spain.
 In Tunisia (Fig. 5D), this species was recorded in the North East of the country in the governorate of Nabeul in two stations: Lebna drainage basin (36.44326N, 010.5525,5E) by Ben Ahmed et al. (2008a) and in Port Prince drainage basin (36.51162N, 10.39404E) (this study).

description: Es gibt in der Akustik eine lange Tradition, von 'subjektiven' und 'objektiven' Messwerten, Parametern, Bewertungen oder Kriterien zu sprechen, wie die Titel von über 300 Beiträgen allein im Journal der Acoustical Society of America zeigen. Meist soll durch dieses Begriffspaar zwischen menschlichen, wahrnehmungsbezogenen Beurteilungen einerseits und physikalischen Messwerten oder durch Signalverarbeitung daraus abgeleiteten Messwerten andererseits unterschieden werden. Dies erscheint zunächst intuitiv plausibel, denn Menschen, insbesondere Versuchspersonen (Vpn), werden gerne als Subjekte bezeichnet; im Gegensatz dazu haftet der Messung z.B. eines A-bewerteten Schalldruckpegels oder einer Nachhallzeit etwas Hartes, Physikalisches, Unbestreitbares, und somit scheinbar Objektives an. Ein Problem ergibt sich allerdings dadurch, dass der Begriff Objektivität nicht nur umgangssprachlich verwendet wird, sondern ein etabliertes Gütekriterium für jede Art von Messungen und Tests sowie für wissenschaftliches Arbeiten schlechthin bezeichnet. Es stellt sich daher die Frage, wie sich das wissenschaftstheoretische Verständnis von Objektivität und die Verwendung des Begriffs zur Unterscheidung von menschlichen und technischen Messwerten zueinander verhalten.

description: We describe a mechanism for the production of polarisation-entangled microwaves using intra-band transitions in a pair of quantum dots. This proposal relies neither on spin-orbit coupling nor on control over electron-electron interactions. The quantum correlation of microwave polarisations is obtained from orbital degrees of freedom in an external magnetic field. We calculate the concurrence of emitted microwave photon pairs, and show that a maximally entangled Bell pair is obtained in the limit of weak inter-dot coupling.

description: Deep reinforcement learning has recently seen huge success across multiple areas in the robotics domain. Owing to the limitations of gathering real-world data, i.e., sample inefficiency and the cost of collecting it, simulation environments are utilized for training the different agents. This not only aids in providing a potentially infinite data source, but also alleviates safety concerns with real robots. Nonetheless, the gap between the simulated and real worlds degrades the performance of the policies once the models are transferred into real robots. Multiple research efforts are therefore now being directed towards closing this sim-to-real gap and accomplish more efficient policy transfer. Recent years have seen the emergence of multiple methods applicable to different domains, but there is a lack, to the best of our knowledge, of a comprehensive review summarizing and putting into context the different methods. In this survey paper, we cover the fundamental background behind sim-to-real transfer in deep reinforcement learning and overview the main methods being utilized at the moment: domain randomization, domain adaptation, imitation learning, meta-learning and knowledge distillation. We categorize some of the most relevant recent works, and outline the main application scenarios. Finally, we discuss the main opportunities and challenges of the different approaches and point to the most promising directions.

Control of surge currents in inverter fed loads
Creators: name: Venalainen, Jarmo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Switch mode power converters have been used in high power applications such as DC links and variable frequency motor drives for a number of decades. In these applications the load is fixed and well known, and therefore the nature of the power demand placed on the inverter is also well known. In more recent years, high frequency switch mode inverters have become available at smaller power levels as consumer products. These inverters are marketed as capable of providing AC power to ANY AC load which the customer may have. In this case the inverter is called upon to supply power to a diverse variety of loads, presenting it with very challenging operational issues, especially with regards start up surge currents. This thesis investigates the characteristics of the input current drawn by consumer type AC loads, when driven by a standard sinusoidal 60 Hz 110VAC source, with particular emphasis on the inrush current transients found during start up. It then goes on to look at how the surge currents differ when the driving voltage is a non-sinusoidal single step waveform as produced by the vast majority of small inverters. This is followed by a discussion on the benefit of having multiple step waveforms and trapezoidal waveforms, in terms of their effect on the surge current transients. From the discussion on multi step and trapezoidal waveforms, it is shown that a current regulated output is the optimum solution for small modified sinewave inverters when they are used to drive typical consumer type loads. This approach is demonstrated in a 300W inverter through the implementation of hysteretic output current control. Finally, AC output bridge switching losses are investigated, and the benefit of a small amount of series output inductance is demonstrated through simulations and circuit trials.

description: We investigate the possibility that the low mass companion of the black hole in the source of GW190814 was a strange quark star. This possibility is viable within the so-called two-families scenario in which neutron stars and strange quark stars coexist. Strange quark stars can reach the mass range indicated by GW190814, $M\sim (2.5-2.67) M_\odot$ due to a large value of the adiabatic index, without the need for a velocity of sound close to the causal limit. Neutron stars (actually hyperonic stars in the two-families scenario) can instead fulfill the presently available astrophysical and nuclear physics constraints which require a softer equation of state. In this scheme it is possible to satisfy both the request of very large stellar masses and of small radii while using totally realistic and physically motivated equations of state. Moreover it is possible to get a radius for a 1.4 $M_\odot$ star of the order or less than 11 km, which is impossible if only one family of compact stars exists.

description: In this paper we investigate the saturation physics in diffractive deep inelastic electron-ion scattering. We estimate the energy and nuclear dependence of the ratio $σ^{diff}/σ^{tot}$ and predict the $x_{\pom}$ and $β$ behavior of the nuclear diffractive structure function $F_{2,A}^{D(3)}(Q^2, β, x_{IP})$. Moreover, we analyze the ratio $R^{diff}_{A1,A2}(Q^2, β, x_{IP}) = F_{2,A1} ^{D(3)}/F_{2,A2} ^{D(3)}$, which probes the nuclear dependence of the structure of the Pomeron. We show that saturation physics predicts that approximately 37 % of the events observed at eRHIC should be diffractive.

description: This study examines the competitive price effect of Wal-Mart Supercenters on national brand and private label grocery prices in New England. For this purpose, we use primary price data collected on a basket of identical products from six Supercenters in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island as well as a sample of conventional supermarkets. Taking into account demographics, store characteristics, and market conditions, we estimate the average prices charged by (1) Supercenters, (2) supermarkets competing directly with Supercenters, and by (3) supermarkets geographically distant from Supercenters. By comparing prices at competing stores and at distant stores, we show that the effect of Wal-Mart Supercenters is to decrease prices by 6 to 7 percent for national brand goods and 3 to 7 percent for private label goods. Price decreases are most significant in the dry grocery and dairy departments. Moreover, Wal-Mart sets prices significantly lower than its competitors in the food industry.

description: We study solutions in the Plebański--Demiański family which describe an accelerating, rotating and dyonically charged black hole in $AdS_4$. These are solutions of $D=4$ Einstein-Maxwell theory with a negative cosmological constant and hence minimal $D=4$ gauged supergravity. It is well known that when the acceleration is non-vanishing the $D=4$ black hole metrics have conical singularities. By uplifting the solutions to $D=11$ supergravity using a regular Sasaki-Einstein $7$-manifold, $SE_7$, we show how the free parameters can be chosen to eliminate the conical singularities. Topologically, the $D=11$ solutions incorporate an $SE_7$ fibration over a two-dimensional weighted projective space, $\mathbb{WCP}^1_{[n_-,n_+]}$, also known as a spindle, which is labelled by two integers that determine the conical singularities of the $D=4$ metrics. We also discuss the supersymmetric and extremal limit and show that the near horizon limit gives rise to a new family of regular supersymmetric $AdS_2\times Y_9$ solutions of $D=11$ supergravity, which generalise a known family by the addition of a rotation parameter. We calculate the entropy of these black holes and argue that it should be possible to derive this from certain ${\cal N}=2$, $d=3$ quiver gauge theories compactified on a spinning spindle with appropriate magnetic flux.

description: Firms innovate to prevent the presence of microbial pathogens in foods and to address other safety problems. To date, studies on the economics of food safety innovation are relatively rare. We designed a series of case studies of such innovation in the meat industry. Our objectives were to identify and analyze different types of innovation, the drivers of innovation, the mode of innovation development, and the impact of innovation on food safety and firm performance. Here we present the survey instrument developed to conduct the case studies. This instrument can be applied, with minor modifications to reflect research objectives, to a wide variety of innovations and adaptations of innovations in the food industry.

description: We use neutron diffraction to probe the magnetization components of a crystal of Mn12 single-molecule magnets. Each of these molecules behaves, at low temperatures, as a nanomagnet with spin S = 10 and strong anisotropy along the crystallographic c axis. Application of a magnetic field perpendicular to c induces quantum tunneling between opposite spin orientations, enabling the spins to attain thermal equilibrium. Below approximately 0.9 K, intermolecular interactions turn this equilibrium state into a ferromagnetically ordered phase. However, long range ferromagnetic correlations nearly disappear for fields larger 5.5 T, possibly suggesting the existence of a quantum critical point.

description: We calculate the spin correlation function and the magnetic longitudinal and transverse susceptibilities of a two-dimensional antiferromagnet doped with a small concentration of holes, in the t-J model. We find that the motion of holes generates spin fluctuations which add to the quantum fluctuations, the spin correlations decaying with the inverse of the spin distance, while increasing with doping as the critical hole concentration, where the long-range order disappears, is approached. Moreover, the longitudinal susceptibility becomes finite in the presence of doping, due to the strong damping effects induced by the hole motion, while the transverse susceptibility is renormalized by softening effects. Both the longitudinal and the transverse susceptibilities increase with doping, the former more significantly than the latter. Our results imply that doping destroys the long-range order while local antiferromagnetic spin correlations persist. This is consistent with experiments on the doped copper oxide superconductors.

Under the same procedure, the Chern-Simons term is shown to be cancelled in the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory for the appropriate value of the noncommutativity parameter. Hence the mutual interchange between Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory and pure Maxwell theory turns out to be generated within this method.

The following steps will guide the integrative review: elaboration of the research question, search in the literature of primary studies, data extraction, evaluation of the studies included in the review, analysis and synthesis of the results, and presentation of the review. The research question will be guided by the PICO strategy: What is the available evidence in the literature on mortality in liver transplant candidates and recipients? The internet will be used to access the databases: Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (Pubmed), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL ). A unique strategy adapted for each listed database will be outlined, using Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT, as well as truncation when possible, in the combination of the crossings between the PICO strategy elements. Primary studies that portray liver transplant candidates' mortality and recipients, published in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, will be included in the period from the last five years. For the extraction of data from the primary studies included in the IR, a script will be used, which will allow the identification of the study, as well as the methodological characteristics, including information such as authorship, year of publication, country of publication, study design, objective, main results and information on study limitations, knowledge gaps and direction for future research. The descriptive form will be used to analyze and synthesize the results, covering the characteristics and results of each primary study included in the IR.

description: In this paper we propose and analyse a large margin fine-tuning strategy and a quality-aware score calibration in text-independent speaker verification. Large margin fine-tuning is a secondary training stage for DNN based speaker verification systems trained with margin-based loss functions. It enables the network to create more robust speaker embeddings by enabling the use of longer training utterances in combination with a more aggressive margin penalty. Score calibration is a common practice in speaker verification systems to map output scores to well-calibrated log-likelihood-ratios, which can be converted to interpretable probabilities. By including quality features in the calibration system, the decision thresholds of the evaluation metrics become quality-dependent and more consistent across varying trial conditions. Applying both enhancements on the ECAPA-TDNN architecture leads to state-of-the-art results on all publicly available VoxCeleb1 test sets and contributed to our winning submissions in the supervised verification tracks of the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge 2020.

description: We consider the integrable one-dimensional delta-function interacting Bose gas in a hard wall box which is exactly solved via the coordinate Bethe Ansatz. The ground state energy, including the surface energy, is derived from the Lieb-Liniger type integral equations. The leading and correction terms are obtained in the weak coupling and strong coupling regimes from both the discrete Bethe equations and the integral equations. This allows the investigation of both finite-size and boundary effects in the integrable model. We also study the Luttinger liquid behaviour by calculating Luttinger parameters and correlations. The hard wall boundary conditions are seen to have a strong effect on the ground state energy and phase correlations in the weak coupling regime. Enhancement of the local two-body correlations is shown by application of the Hellmann-Feynman theorem.

description: A field test of cheap talk and two types of certainty calibration in contingent valuation of public lands indicated that cheap talk does not reduce WTP estimates. Use of a ten point certainty calibration scale reduces WTP estimates by about half. However, adjusting for uncertainty using a 'Not Sure' option does not reduce WTP estimates but increases the variance in responses. There may be a conceptual difference between these two ways of accounting for respondents' uncertainty, which may suggest why they provide different WTP value estimates and variances.
Centrally condensed turbulent cores: Massive stars or fragmentation?

description: We present numerical investigations into the formation of massive stars from centrally condensed turbulent cores. The results of five hydrodynamical simulations are described, following the collapse of the core, fragmentation and the formation of small clusters of protostars. We generate two different initial turbulent velocity fields corresponding to power-law spectra with power varying as k^{-4} and k^{-3.5}, and apply two different initial core radii. Calculations are included for both completely isothermal collapse, and a non-isothermal equation of state above a critical density 10^{-14}gcm^{-3}. Our calculations reveal the preference of fragmentation over monolithic star formation in turbulent cores. Fragmentation was prevalent in all the isothermal cases. Although disc fragmentation was largely suppressed in the non-isothermal runs due to the small dynamic range between the initial density and the critical density, our results show that some fragmentation still persisted. This is inconsistent with previous suggestions that turbulent cores result in the formation of a single massive star. We conclude that turbulence cannot be measured as an isotropic pressure term.

 Type series. Holotype (ZMH 79884): Shell height 3.5 mm, shell width 2.1 mm; Bosnia and Hercegovina, Grahovsko Polje, Bosansko Grahovo town, River Korana near village Luka, leg. Marić. Paratypes (ZMH 79885): 6 ex.; 6 ex. coll. Glöer, same data and locality as holotype.
 Locus typicus. Bosnia and Hercegovina, Grahovsko Polje, Bosansko Grahovo town, River Korana near village Luka, 44° 9'41.07"N, 16°23'14.82"E.
 Etymology. Named after Prof dr Drago Marić (Department of Biology, Podgorica), collector of the new species, in appreciation of his studies on Montenegrian biodiversity.
 Description
 Shell. The large shell is whitish and cylindrical. The 4.5 whorls are convex with a very deep suture. The surface is silky and finely striated. The apex is obtuse, the umbilicus is slit­like. The aperture is oval. Shell height 3.3­ 3.5 mm, width 2.0­ 2.1 mm mm, height aperture/shell ratio 0.43.
 Soft body. The mantle is black with a greyish boarder, the head is whitish.The penis is shorter than the penial appendix. The flagellum is long, thin at the proximal end and broad at the distal end.
 Differentiating features. It is one of the largest species of this genus in the Balkan Peninsula. Only two Bythinella species from the Gacko polje, a karstic field (= polje) in Croatia, are larger: B. magna Radoman 1976, with a shell height of 4.55­ 5.21 (Radoman 1983: 209) and B. kapelana Radoman 1976 with a shell height of 4.33­ 4.70. In addition to the dimensions, these species differ in the shape of aperture: in B. magna the aperture is a relatively low (height aperture/shell ratio 0.38, data taken from Radoman 1983) while in B. kapelana aperture is nearly elliptical.
 Distribution. Bosnia and Hercegovina; known only from the type locality (Fig. 14).

description: Individuals are widely believed to overstate their economic valuation of a good by a factor of two or three. This paper reports the results of a meta-analysis of hypothetical bias in 28 stated preference valuation studies that report monetary willingness-to-pay and that used the same mechanism for eliciting both hypothetical and actual values. The papers generated 83 observations with a median value of the ratio of hypothetical to actual value of 1.35, and the distribution has severe positive skewness. Since a comprehensive theory of hypothetical bias has not been developed, we use a set of explanatory variables based on issues that have been investigated in previous research. We find that a choice-based elicitation mechanism is important in reducing bias, though an insufficient number of studies and confounding with other variables prevents us from characterizing individual mechanisms. We provide some evidence that the use of student subjects may be a source of bias, but this variable is highly correlated with group experimental settings and no firm conclusions can be drawn. There is some weak evidence that bias increases when public goods are being valued, and that some calibration methods are effective at reducing bias. Results are quite sensitive to model specification, which will remain a problem until a comprehensive theory of hypothetical bias is developed.

description: We report on a complex nontrivial behavior of the optical anisotropy of quantum dots that is induced by a magnetic field in the plane of the sample. We find that the optical axis either rotates in the opposite direction to that of the magnetic field or remains fixed to a given crystalline direction. A theoretical analysis based on the exciton pseudospin Hamiltonian unambiguously demonstrates that these effects are induced by isotropic and anisotropic contributions to the heavy-hole Zeeman term, respectively. The latter is shown to be compensated by a built-in uniaxial anisotropy in a magnetic field B_c = 0.4 T, resulting in an optical response typical for symmetric quantum dots.

description: This paper uses laboratory experiments to test individual responses to policies that seek to encourage firms to voluntarily discover and disclose violations of environmental standards. We find that while it is possible to motivate a significant number of voluntary disclosures without adversely affecting environmental quality, this result is sensitive to both the fine for disclosed violations and the assumption that firms know their compliance status without cost. When firms have to expend resources to determine their compliance status, motivating a significant number of violation disclosures yields worse environmental quality. Finally, relative to conventional enforcement, disclosure polices will result in more violations being sanctioned, but fewer of these sanctions are for violations that are uncovered by the government.

The Regulatory Choice of Noncompliance in Emissions Trading Programs

Year: 2006
Subjects: Environmental Economics and Policy

description: This paper addresses the following question: To achieve a fixed aggregate emissions target cost-effectively, should emissions trading programs be designed and implemented to achieve full compliance, or does allowing a certain amount of noncompliance reduce the costs of reaching the emissions target? The total costs of achieving the target consist of aggregate abatement costs, monitoring costs, and the expected costs of collecting penalties from noncompliant firms. Under common assumptions, I show that allowing noncompliance is cost-effective only if violations are enforced with an increasing marginal penalty. However, one can design a policy that induces full compliance with a constant marginal penalty that meets the aggregate emissions target at lower expected costs. This last result does not depend on setting an arbitrarily high constant marginal penalty. In fact, the marginal penalty need not be higher than the equilibrium marginal penalty under the policy with the increasing marginal penalty, and can actually be lower. Finally, tying the marginal penalty directly to the permit price allows the policy objective to be achieved without any knowledge of firms' abatement costs.

description: The objective will be to analyze the evidence available in the literature on mortality in liver transplant candidates. The following steps will guide the integrative review: elaboration of the research question, search in the literature of primary studies, data extraction, evaluation of the studies included in the review, analysis and synthesis of the results, and presentation of the review. The research question will be guided by the PICO strategy: What is the available evidence in the literature on mortality in liver transplant candidates? The internet will be used to access the databases: Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (Pubmed), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL ). A unique strategy adapted for each listed database will be outlined, using Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT, as well as truncation when possible, in the combination of the crossings between the PICO strategy elements. Primary studies that portray liver transplant candidates' mortality and recipients, published in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, will be included in the period from the last five years. For the extraction of data from the primary studies included in the IR, a script will be used, which will allow the identification of the study, as well as the methodological characteristics, including information such as authorship, year of publication, country of publication, study design, objective, main results and information on study limitations, knowledge gaps and direction for future research. The descriptive form will be used to analyze and synthesize the results, covering the characteristics and results of each primary study included in the IR.

description: In production agriculture, good management is demonstrated by profits that are persistenly greater than those of similar neighboring farms. This research examined the effects of management practices on risk-adjusted profit per acre for Kansas farms over 1990-1999. The management practices were price, cost, yield, planting intensity, and technology adoption (less-tillage). Cost management, planting intensity, and technology adoption had the greatest effect on profit per acre, and cash price management was found to have the smallest impact. If producers wish to have continuously high profits, their efforts are best spent in management practices over which they have the most control.

description: Using datat from the 1994-1996 CSFII/DHKS, we identify and assess factors affecting the decision to consume pork and conditional on consuming pork, the decision of the amount of pork intake. Branded and generic advertising of pork play a prominent role in both decisions. Beef advertising, however, does not significantly affect either the probability of consuming pork or the amount of pork intake. Key health, attitudinal and lifestyle factors are smoking status, dietary status, body mass index, the importance of nutrition in buying food, and trimming visible fat from meat. These factors however impact the probability of consuming pork rather than the amount of pork consumed. Region, urbanization, race, age, income, and seasonality also affect pork demand.
