description: The world of plant breeding is changing rapidly in response both to scientific developments and to economic forces. In particular, there is a growing trend to widespread privatisation of crop breeding. An economist's perspective on some of the key differences between traditional public plant breeding and private plant breeding will be presented together with some of the key driving forces behind the emerging trend to privatisation of plant breeding. A possible consequence of much greater private involvement in Australian plant breeding is the crowding-out of all other competition by a very small number of large multi-national firms, who might then exploit their market power to capture almost all of the value created by plant breeding. Australian grain growers have already demonstrate a willingness to fund local plant breeding firms to forestall such a threat, and to ensure ongoing access to locally bred varieties that maintain Australia's competitive advantage in international grain markets. Another threat is the risk that government and grower support of pre-breeding research will decline without any compensating investment by the private sector. As this type of research provides the foundation for ongoing long-term variety improvement and productivity gains, eventually private investment in plant breeding may stall as a result. Alternatively there may be wasteful duplication and/or inefficient utilisation of such related R&D as firms strive for competitive advantage in the market place. In any event, the access regime for both public and private plant breeders to output from all government and/or collective industry funded research and other generic services will be an important policy issue. Some of the principles under-pinning National Competition Policy will be reviewed as a possible basis for the formulation of an appropriate policy.

description: We present three distinct examples where phaseless auxiliary-field Quantum Monte Carlo (ph-AFQMC) can be reliably performed with a single-determinant trial wavefunction with essential symmetry breaking. We first utilized essential time-reversal symmetry breaking with ph-AFQMC to compute the triplet-singlet energy gap in the TS12 set. We found statistically better performance of ph-AFQMC with complex-restricted orbitals than with spin-unrestricted orbitals. We then showed the utilization of essential spin symmetry breaking when computing the single-triplet gap of a known biradicaloid, C$_{36}$. ph-AFQMC with spin-unrestricted Hartree-Fock (ph-AFQMC+UHF) fails catastrophically even with spin-projection and predicts no biradicaloid character. With approximate Brueckner orbitals obtained from regularized orbital-optimized second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory ($κ$-OOMP2), ph-AFQMC quantitatively captures strong biradicaloid character of C$_{36}$. Lastly, we applied ph-AFQMC to the computation of the quintet-triplet gap in a model iron porphyrin complex where brute-force methods with a small active space fail to capture the triplet ground state. We show unambiguously that neither triplet nor quintet is strongly correlated using UHF, $κ$-OOMP2, and coupled-cluster with singles and doubles (CCSD) performed on UHF and $κ$-OOMP2 orbitals. There is no essential symmetry breaking in this problem. By virtue of this, we were able to perform UHF+ph-AFQMC reliably with a cc-pVTZ basis set and predicted a triplet ground state for this model geometry. The largest ph-AFQMC in this work correlated 186 electrons in 956 orbitals. Our work highlights the utility, scalability, and accuracy of ph-AFQMC with a single determinant trial wavefunction with essential symmetry breaking for systems mainly dominated by dynamical correlation with little static correlation.

description: Freezing of charged colloids on square or triangular two-dimensional periodic substrates has been recently shown to realize a rich variety of orientational orders. We propose a theoretical framework to analyze the corresponding structures. A fundamental ingredient is that a non spherical charged object in an electrolyte creates a screened electrostatic potential that is anisotropic at any distance. Our approach is in excellent agreement with the known experimental and numerical results, and explains in simple terms the reentrant orientational melting observed in these so called colloidal molecular crystals. We also investigate the case of a rectangular periodic substrate and predict an unusual phase transition between orientationnaly ordered states, as the aspect ratio of the unit cell is changed.

description: We calculate hyperfine structure intervals $ΔE^{hfs}(2P_{1/2})$ and $ΔE^{hfs}(2P_{3/2})$ for P-states in muonic ions of lithium, beryllium and boron. To construct the particle interaction operator in momentum space we use the tensor method of projection operators on states with definite quantum numbers of total atomic momentum F and total muon momentum j. We take into account vacuum polarization, relativistic, quadruple and structure corrections of orders $α^4$, $α^5$ and $α^6$. The obtained numerical values of hyperfine splittings can be used for a comparison with future experimental data of the CREMA collaboration.

description: Irrigation underpins approximately one-third of the value of Queensland's agricultural production. There have been calls for further development of water infrastructure in northern Queensland to enhance the production of sugar cane, horticulture, aquaculture and other crops. One of the steps in assessing potential new developments is to establish which groups have demands for additional water, and how sensitive they are to price. Surveys are one mechanism that can be used to gauge this information. Surveys to assess water demands have been carried out in the Mackay and Atherton Tablelands regions and the results are reported in this paper.

description: We have developed a method for the reproducible fabrication of superconducting scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tips. We use these tips to form superconductor/insulator/superconductor tunnel junctions with the STM tip as one of the electrodes. We show that such junctions exhibit fluctuation dominated Josephson effects, and describe how the Josephson product IcRn can be inferred from the junctions' tunneling characteristics in this regime. This is first demonstrated for tunneling into Pb films, and then applied in studies of single crystals of NbSe2. We find that in NbSe2, IcRn is lower than expected, which could be attributed to the interplay between superconductivity and the coexisting charge density wave in this material.

description: The spectra of recently constructed auxiliary matrices for the six-vertex model respectively the spin s=1/2 Heisenberg chain at roots of unity q^N=1 are investigated. Two conjectures are formulated both of which are proven for N=3 and are verified numerically for several examples with N>3. The first conjecture identifies an abelian subset of auxiliary matrices whose eigenvalues are polynomials in the spectral variable. The zeroes of these polynomials are shown to fall into two sets. One consists of the solutions to the Bethe ansatz equations which determine the eigenvalues of the six-vertex transfer matrix. The other set of zeroes contains the complete strings which encode the information on the degeneracies of the model due to the loop symmetry sl_2 present at roots of 1. The second conjecture then states a polynomial identity which relates the complete string centres to the Bethe roots allowing one to determine the dimension of the degenerate eigenspaces. Its proof for N=3 involves the derivation of a new functional equation for the auxiliary matrices and the six-vertex transfer matrix. Moreover, it is demonstrated in several explicit examples that the complete strings coincide with the classical analogue of the Drinfeld polynomial. The latter is used to classify the finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the loop algebra sl_2. This suggests that the constructed auxiliary matrices not only enable one to solve the six-vertex model but also completely characterize the decomposition of its eigenspaces into irreducible representations of the underlying loop symmetry.

description: The island of Bali is one of the main cattle producing areas for Indonesia. Bali is also known for its extensive tourist sector. Frozen and chilled beef are imported to fulfil the tourist demand. This imported beef, most of it from Australia, competes with the local beef in the tourist sector. The terrorist attack in October 2002 caused the tourist industry to collapse and this impact has been passed down to the demand for local and imported beef. The objective of this paper is to use an economic model of the Bali beef industry to assess the impact of this attack on the Bali beef sector. The results show that there is expected to be a significant welfare loss of Rp 5.43 billion (A$ 1.09 million) to the Bali beef industry over the medium term. Of this, Bali cattle producers are expected to lose Rp 2.57 billion (47 per cent). The quantity of Bali beef demanded by the HRI markets is forecast to drop by about 5 per cent, while imported beef demand is forecast to reduce by about 2 per cent.

Combining nonsense-mediated mRNA decay inhibition and personalized vaccine to target new frame-derived tumor antigens
Creators: name: Gandhi, Shreya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Cancer immunotherapy has gained recent recognition as a new and clinically effective therapeutic avenue in cancer treatment. Therapeutic cancer vaccine is yet another emerging and promising direction in cancer immunotherapy. Current generation of cancer vaccines are designed to trigger a tumor specific immune response by predominantly targeting aberrantly expressed wildtype proteins in tumor cells, known as tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), oncoviral proteins from viral integration and mutant proteins from single nucleotide variations in tumors, denoted as tumor-specific antigens (TSAs). Recent clinical studies testing TAA- and TSA-based cancer vaccines has encountered several limitations in eliciting specific and robust anti-tumor immune response due to their low specificity and immunogenicity. Acknowledging the current limitations in therapeutic cancer vaccine design, we were interested in finding alternative TSAs which would be more potent than the currently used single nucleotide variants derived TSAs (SNV-TSAs). In that, we focused our attention to new frame derived antigens, abbreviated as NFDAs, which being derived from frameshift insertion/deletion mutations (not divisible by 3) and splice-site mutations, generated an alternative open reading frame (ORF), and produced C-terminal altered truncated proteins. However, they are suppressed by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) in cells. To harness the untapped potential of NFDAs, we proposed to conduct a proof-of-concept study testing our hypothesis that NMD inhibition would allow the expression of previously suppressed NFDAs and that these antigens can further be used in cancer vaccine formulation to elicit a strong and specific immune response against tumor cells. To test our hypothesis, we identified NMD-suppressed NFDAs from whole exome sequencing data of high tumor mutation burden (TMB) mouse followed by NMD blockade through inducible shRNA knockdown and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of essential NMD factors, Upf2 and Smg1 in these high TMB mouse cell lines. Next, the expression of natural NMD substrates and in-silico identified NMD-suppressed NFDAs was detected using qPCR assays. Our findings report the existence of NMD-suppressed NFDAs in high TMB mouse cell lines whose expression was upregulated from NMD blockage.

description: The pressure dependence of the Curie temperature $T_C$ in manganites, recently studied over a wide pressure range, is not quantitatively accounted for by the quenching of Jahn-Teller distortions, and suggests the occurrence of a new pressure-activated localizing processes. We present a theoretical calculation of $T_C$ based on a two-site double-exchange model with electron-phonon coupling interaction and direct superexchange between the $% t_{2g}$ core spins. We calculate the pressure dependence of $T_C$ and compare it with the experimental phase diagram. Our results describe the experimental behavior quite well if a pressure-activated enhancement of the antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction is assumed.

description: China has been rapidly increasing its consumption and imports of dairy products in recent years. A two-stage demand system was estimated for livestock product consumption in urban China over the 1990s. Total expenditure elasticities for the livestock commodity group and expenditure elasticities for dairy products within the livestock commodity group were calculated. The results suggest that dairy products, even in urban areas, remain luxury goods because of a high expenditure elasticity (1.14). Due to rapidly increasing consumption and the likelihood of inadequate supply growth, China will continue to increase its imports of dairy products to meet its domestic demand. Projections imply that China’s imports of dairy products may range between 13-30 percent of its total domestic consumption by 2006. Due to differences in regional income and population growth rates, increases in dairy products consumption may occur especially in the Coastal, South and North areas, where potential trade opportunities may exist.

description: Demand for livestock products in the past three decades has increased rapidly, especially in developing countries. This increase has resulted in, and will continue to cause, increased demand for feed. This paper examines existing projections of global feed demand and supply with an emphasis on China. It first presents the emerging trends in demand for feed and food, followed by global perspectives of feed demand and supply. It then highlights the challenges facing future farming in its endeavour to meet the increasing demand for feed. Finally, the paper sheds light on whether the livestock revolution will offer much opportunity to farmers, especially small farmers in the developing countries and those at home in Australia.

description: The partition function of an oscillator disturbed by a set of electron particle paths has been computed by a path integral method which permits to evaluate at any temperature the relevant cumulant terms in the series expansion. The time dependent source current peculiar of the semiclassical Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model induces large electron-phonon anharmonicities on the phonon subsystem. As a main signature of anharmonicity the phonon heat capacity shows a peak whose temperature location strongly varies with the strength of the {\it e-ph} coupling. High energy oscillators are less sensitive to anharmonic perturbations.

description: Auditory attention is a critical foundation for successful language comprehension, yet is rarely studied in individuals with acquired language disorders. We used an auditory version of the well-studied Attention Network Test to study alerting, orienting, and executive control in 28 persons with chronic stroke (PWS). We further sought to characterize the neurobiology of each auditory attention measure in our sample using exploratory lesion-symptom mapping analyses. PWS exhibited the expected executive control effect (i.e., decreased accuracy for incongruent compared to congruent trials), but their alerting and orienting attention were disrupted. PWS did not exhibit an alerting effect and they were actually distracted by the auditory spatial orienting cue compared to the control cue. Lesion-symptom mapping indicated that poorer alerting and orienting were associated with damage to the left retrolenticular part of the internal capsule (adjacent to the thalamus) and left posterior middle frontal gyrus (overlapping with the frontal eye fields), respectively. The behavioral findings correspond to our previous work investigating alerting and spatial orienting attention in persons with aphasia in the visual modality and suggest that auditory alerting and spatial orienting attention may be impaired in PWS due to stroke lesions damaging multi-modal attention resources.

description: We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the type Ibn supernova (SN) 2019uo, the second ever SN Ibn with flash ionization (He II, C III, N III) features in its early spectra. SN 2019uo displays a rapid post-peak luminosity decline of 0.1 mag d$^{-1}$ similar to most of the SNe Ibn, but is fainter ($M^V_{max} = -18.30 \pm 0.24$ mag) than a typical SN Ibn and shows a color evolution that places it between SNe Ib and the most extreme SNe Ibn. SN 2019uo shows P-cygni He I features in the early spectra which gradually evolves and becomes emission dominated post peak. It also shows faster evolution in line velocities as compared to most other members of the type Ibn subclass. The bolometric light curve is fairly described by a $^{56}$Ni + circumstellar interaction model.

description: Various scenarios for an expiry of European Union milk quotas are analysed with the Common Agricultural Policy SIMulation (CAPSIM) model. This comparative-static, partial equilibrium modelling tool covering the whole of agriculture for all EU member states has been disaggregated to represent nine secondary dairy products. Impacts are compared to a reference run where the 2003 Common Agricultural Policy Reform is projected into the future. The main milk quota expiry scenario is for 2020. Key results are that milk production would increase by 3.0% in EU-27 whereas milk prices would drop by 7.2%. The resulting decline in butter prices is shown to be larger if EU authorities cannot rely on export subsidies for market management. The regional pattern of impacts is strongly determined by the specification of quota rents. Furthermore, details of intra EU price transmission are shown to influence the differences between Member States. An applied welfare analysis of the main expiry scenario gives a significant redistribution from EU-27 farmers and much less from taxpayers to dairies and final consumers. The estimated small positive overall welfare gain would increase in a situation without export subsidies. Verschiedene Szenarien zur Abschaffung der EU-Milchquoten wurden mit dem 'Common Agricultural Policy SIMulation' (CAPSIM) Modell untersucht. Dieses komparativ-statische partielle Gleichgewichtsmodell wurde im Milchsektor erheblich disaggregiert (neun Verarbeitungsprodukte). Der Referenzlauf beinhaltet eine Beibehaltung der derzeitigen Ausgestaltung der EU-Agrarpolitik bis zum Jahr 2020. Im Hauptszenario eines Auslaufens der Quotenregelung in 2015 ergibt sich in der EU-27 eine Produktionsausdehnung von 3.0% und ein durchschnittlicher Verfall der Rohmilchpreise um 7.2%. Der resultierende Preisrückgang bei Butter ist abhängig davon, ob Exporterstattungen zur Abfederung des Preisdrucks eingesetzt werden. Die Ergebnisse werden stark von der Spezifikation der Quotenrenten geprägt, während das Bild auf Mitgliedsländerebene auch von der Intra-EU-Preistransmission beeinflusst wird. Im Hauptszenario mit Exporterstattungen kommt es zu einer deutlichen Umverteilung von der Landwirtschaft und, weitaus weniger gewichtig, von Steuerzahlern zur Molkereiwirtschaft und Endverbrauchern. Der resultierende Wohlfahrtsgewinn ist klein, würde aber ansteigen, wenn die Quoten in einer Situation ohne Exporterstattungen auslaufen würden.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: A jumping process, defined in terms of jump size distribution and waiting time distribution, is presented. The jumping rate depends on the process value. The process, which is Markovian and stationary, relaxes to an equilibrium and is characterized by the power-law autocorrelation function. Therefore, it can serve as a model of the 1/f noise as well as a model of the stochastic force in the generalized Langevin equation. This equation is solved for the noise correlations 1/t; the resulting velocity distribution has sharply falling tails. The system preserves the memory about the initial condition for a very long time.

description: The aim of this paper is to gain better insights in the implications of some of the most important economic assumptions and empirical choices made in partial equilibrium models focusing on dairy. Three partial equilibrium models are considered: the AGricultural Member states MODeling (AGMEMOD) model, the Common Agricultural Policy SIMulation (CAPSIM) model, and the European Dairy Industry Model (EDIM). This paper analyses how quota rent and supply elasticity estimates, as they are used in these models affect milk output and price projections. Sensitivity analysis is also considered in order to take into account uncertainty in quota rent and supply elasticity estimates. Taking into account the considered uncertainty our best estimate is in case of abolishing the quota the EU’s aggregate milk production will expand, with the increase being somewhere in the range between 5 and 15%. Das Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, am Beispiel des Milchmarkts die Auswirkungen wichtiger ökonomischer Annahmen in partiellen Gleichgewichtsmodellen zu untersuchen. Wir beziehen drei Modelle in die Analyse ein: das Agricultural Member states MODeling (AGMEMOD)-Modell, das Common Agricultural Policy SIMulation (CAPSIM)-Modell sowie das European Dairy Industry Model (EDIM). Untersucht wird der Einfluss von Annahmen über die Quotenrenten und die Angebotselastizitäten, wie sie in diesen Modellen zwecks Projektion der Milchmenge und des Milchpreises getroffen werden. Der Unsicherheit bei der Schätzung von Quotenrenten und Angebotselastizität wird durch Sensititätsanalysen Rechnung getragen. Unter Berücksichtigung der bestehenden Unsicherheit lautet die beste Schätzung für den Fall der Abschaffung der Milchquote, dass die Milcherzeugung in der EU in einem Umfang von 5 bis 15 % ausgedehnt werden wird.

description: Peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies have been widely used for content sharing, popularly called "file-swapping" networks. This chapter gives a broad overview of content sharing P2P technologies. It starts with the fundamental concept of P2P computing followed by the analysis of network topologies used in peer-to-peer systems. Next, three milestone peer-to-peer technologies: Napster, Gnutella, and Fasttrack are explored in details, and they are finally concluded with the comparison table in the last section.

description: Biologics have been used to treat refractory Takayasu arteritis (TAK), but their efficacy and safety have not been sufficiently evaluated. We extracted clinical information from medical records for TAK patients who were treated with biologics including ustekinumab (UST) at Kyoto University Hospital. We also analysed the patient’s genetic backgrounds. Of 163 cases, 12 (7.4%) were treated with infliximab, tocilizumab, or UST (n = 3). Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein levels (CRP), and prednisolone (PSL) dose were significantly decreased 12 months after the initiation of biologics. When compared with the 15 patients who were only treated with immunosuppressants (IS group), the change in ESR from baseline was significantly lower in the biologics group than in the IS group (−2 mm/h, p = .005). The proportion of patients with HLA-B*52 and the risk-type alleles of the SNP were similar in both groups. Among the biologics, TCZ showed the highest continuation rate. UST exhibited marginal effects on reducing ESR, CRP levels, and PSL dose. No adverse events were observed in patients with UST for approximately 3 years. Biological treatments resulted in a reduction in inflammatory markers and PSL dose in refractory TAK patients.

description: In recent years, computational polypharmacology has gained significant attention to study the promiscuous nature of drugs. Despite tremendous challenges, community-wide efforts have led to a variety of novel approaches for predicting drug polypharmacology. In particular, some rapid advances using machine learning and artificial intelligence have been reported with great success. In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive update on the current state-of-the-art polypharmacology approaches and their applications, focusing on those reports published after our 2017 review article. The authors particularly discuss some novel, groundbreaking concepts, and methods that have been developed recently and applied to drug polypharmacology studies. Polypharmacology is evolving and novel concepts are being introduced to counter the current challenges in the field. However, major hurdles remain including incompleteness of high-quality experimental data, lack of in vitro and in vivo assays to characterize multi-targeting agents, shortage of robust computational methods, and challenges to identify the best target combinations and design effective multi-targeting agents. Fortunately, numerous national/international efforts including multi-omics and artificial intelligence initiatives as well as most recent collaborations on addressing the COVID-19 pandemic have shown significant promise to propel the field of polypharmacology forward.
What do Sunni Muslims think about religiously forbidden reproductive options?

description: This study explored the attitudes of Sunni Muslims towards religiously forbidden reproductive options: gamete donation, sex selection, surrogacy, and adoption. A total of 824 married Sunni Muslim people read 12 hypothetical vignettes depicting five types of assisted reproductive technologies: (i) sperm donation; (ii) egg donation, (iii) surrogacy; (iv) sex selection of a male foetus; and (v) and sex selection of a female foetus. They also related to the option of adopting a baby. Each vignette was presented twice: once depicting a relatively younger couple and once again describing a relatively older couple. The respondents were asked to state the level of their objection or acceptance for each of the twelve vignettes. In accord with the Islamic ruling, respondents reported objections to sex selection, egg and sperm donation, and surrogacy. However, they expressed a moderate level of acceptance of adoption of a baby. The greatest objection was directed at sperm donation, followed by objection to egg donation. Our study shows that the Sunni Muslims do not support the provision of fertility care for reproductive options that clearly contravene Islamic religious ruling. The findings may help fertility experts understand the cultural and religious complexities in treating Sunni Muslim couples.
Dynamical symmetry breaking as the origin of the zero-$dc$-resistance state in an $ac$-driven system

description: Under a strong $ac$ drive the zero-frequency linear response dissipative resistivity $ρ_{d}(j=0)$ of a homogeneous state is allowed to become negative. We show that such a state is absolutely unstable. The only time-independent state of a system with a $ρ_{d}(j=0)<0$ is characterized by a current which almost everywhere has a magnitude $j_{0}$ fixed by the condition that the nonlinear dissipative resistivity $ρ_{d}(j_{0}^{2})=0$. As a result, the dissipative component of the $dc$ electric field vanishes. The total current may be varied by rearranging the current pattern appropriately with the dissipative component of the $dc$-electric field remaining zero. This result, together with the calculation of Durst \emph{et. al.}, indicating the existence of regimes of applied $ac$ microwave field and $dc$ magnetic field where $ρ_{d}(j=0)<0$, explains the zero-resistance state observed by Mani \emph{et. al.} and Zudov \emph{et. al.}.

description: This article provides an overview of the most important reforms, their background, and corresponding changes in Estonian agriculture during the transition period from 1988-2008. The past two decades have been divided into three sub-periods to outline differences in dynamics and the direction of changes in agriculture. From 1988-1995, the main reforms were implemented and agricultural production decreased rapidly. From 1995-2001, the decline stabilised and nonviable farms exited the sector. From 2001 onwards, the positive effects of the EU pre-accession period and EU membership can be observed. Das Ziel des vorliegenden Artikels ist es, einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Veränderungen in der estnischen Landwirtschaft im Transformationszeitraum 1988-2008 zu geben. In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten gab es drei Entwicklungsperioden. 1988-1995 wurden die wichtigsten Reformen durchgeführt, und die landwirtschaftliche Produktion ist stark gesunken. 1995-2001 hat sich der Rückgang stabilisiert, der Sektor war teilweise nicht lebensfähig, und private Betriebe haben den Sektor verlassen. Seit 2001 kann man die positiven Auswirkungen des EU-Beitritts auf die Landwirtschaft beobachten.
