description: In China, the preservation of refrigerated daggertooth piker congers (Muraenesox cinereus) has received increasing attention in recent years due to the increased demand for fresh congers. In this study, the effect of tea polyphenols (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%) and chitosan (0.5%, 1%, 2%) on daggertooth piker conger preservation was evaluated based on major spoilage bacteria detected during cold storage. The preservation quality was assessed through sensory scores, TVB-N, and TBARS concentrations and plate counts of total bacteria, H2S-producing bacteria, and Pseudomonas. The results showed that all concentrations of tea polyphenols and chitosan successfully inhibited spoilage bacterial growth, suppressed TVB-N (total volatile basic nitrogen) and TBARS (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances) generation, and improved the sensory score, although the results were not dose-dependent. The optimal concentrations of tea polyphenols and chitosan were 0.2% and 0.5%, respectively. A later assessment of the synergistic effect of tea polyphenols and chitosan coating conger samples with both preservatives at their optimal concentration. Possibly, due to their mechanic difference in bacteriostasis, the combined treatment significantly inhibited the growth of H2S-producing bacteria and Pseudomonas, indicating a better antibacterial effect than when using one of the preservatives alone. Finally, combined tea polyphenol and chitosan treatment prolonged the first- and second-grade freshness of refrigerated congers for 4–6 days.

description: We present the results of the first detailed millimeter and submillimeter molecular line survey of bright rimmed clouds, observed at FCRAO in the CO (J=1-0), C18O (J=1-0), HCO+ (J=1-0), H13CO+ (J=1-0), and N2H+ (J=1-0) transitions, and at the HHT in the CO (J=2-1), HCO+ (J=3-2), HCO+ (J=4-3), H13CO+ (J=3-2), and H13CO+ (J=4-3) molecular line transitions. The source list is composed of a selection of bright rimmed clouds from the catalog of such objects compiled by Sugitani et al. (1991). We also present observations of three Bok globules done for comparison with the bright rimmed clouds. We find that the appearance of the millimeter CO and HCO+ emission is dominated by the morphology of the shock front in the bright rimmed clouds. The HCO+ (J=1-0) emission tends to trace the swept up gas ridge and overdense regions which may be triggered to collapse as a result of sequential star formation. Five of the seven bright rimmed clouds we observe seem to have an outflow, however only one shows the spectral line blue-asymmetric signature that is indicative of infall, in the optically thick HCO+ emission. We also present evidence that in bright rimmed clouds the nearby shock front may heat the core from outside-in thereby washing out the normally observed line infall signatures seen in isolated star forming regions. We find that the derived core masses of these bright rimmed clouds are similar to other low and intermediate mass star forming regions.

description: The paper presents main issues in managing implementation of the cross-compliance requirements on the microeconomic level, i.e. in an agricultural holding. Important areas of requirements that were introduced within the cross-compliance mechanism in 2004 are discussed. Cross-compliance means the dependence of obtaining EU direct payments in their full extent on meeting by a farmer some standards and keeping to some rules. This mechanism initiates some processes in agricultural holdings which are called processes of adjustment and which can be repeatable. Management of adjustment processes combines functions of management such as planning, organizing, directing and controlling the obtained results. Adjustment of the agricultural holdings receiving direct payments is related to the management of these holdings in accordance with established rules (standards) that operate as cross-compliance requirements.

description: We present theoretical results for a Kondo-lattice model with spin-1/2 localized moments, including both the intrasite Kondo coupling and an intersite antiferromagnetic exchange interaction, treated within an extended mean-field approximation. We describe here the case of a non-integer conduction-band filling for which an ``exhaustion'' problem arises when the number of conduction electrons is not large enough to screen all the lattice spins. This is best seen in the computed magnetic susceptibility. The Kondo temperature so obtained is different from the single-impurity one, and increases for small values of the intersite interaction, but the Kondo-effect disappears abruptly for low band filling and/or strong intersite coupling; a phase diagram is presented as a function of both parameters. A discussion of experimental results on cerium Kondo compounds is also given.

description: The epidemiology of prostate cancer (PC) continues to change. We evaluated the changes in incidence, in average age at diagnosis, and in survival from 1992 to 2015 in Ontario. We compared the cumulative incidence of PC-specific and non PC-specific mortality using two algorithms for cause of death: Method 1 assigned deaths from “other cancers” to non PC-specific causes, and Method 2 assigned these cases to PC-specific mortality. There were 188,714 cases diagnosed with PC between 1992 and 2015 in Ontario. The average age at diagnosis declined from 1992 to 2008 by 0.26 year (3.1 months) annually (p p > 0.05). Between 2010 and 2015, the proportion of patients diagnosed at stage IV increased, and the proportion diagnosed at stage I decreased (p-values for trends <0.001). Overall survival significantly improved over the years. The cumulative incidence of PC-specific mortality at 5 and 10 years was 6.8 and 9.8% using Method 1, and 10.2 and 16.8% using Method 2. We observed trends toward older age and more advanced stage at PC diagnosis in Ontario. Further studies are needed to validate algorithms for estimating PC-specific mortality from administrative databases.

description: Averaged jet charge characterizes the electric charge for the initiating parton, and provides a powerfull tool to distinguish quark jets from gluon jets. In this paper, we give the first prediction for the medium modification of averaged jet charge in heavy-ion collision at the LHC, where jet productions in p+p collisions are simulated by PYTHIA6, and parton energy loss in QGP are calculated with two Monte Carlo models of jet quenching: PYQUEN and JEWEL. We found that the distribution of averaged jet charge is significantly suppressed by initial state isospin effects due to the participants of neutrons with zero electric charge during nuclear collisions. Considerable enhancement of averaged jet charge in central Pb+Pb collisions relative to peripheral collisions is observed, since jet quenching effect is more pronounced in central collisions. Distinct feature of averaged jet charge between quark and gluon jets, together with the sensitivity of medium modifications on jet charge to flavor dependence of parton energy loss, could be very useful to discriminate the energy loss pattern between quark and gluon jets in heavy-ion collisions.

description: This paper estimates static Malmquist and dynamic Luenberger productivity growth measures and decomposes these to identify the contributions of technical change, technical efficiency change and scale efficiency change. The Malmquist and Luenberger productivity growth measures are estimated using Data Envelopment Analysis. The empirical application uses data on Spanish meat processing firms over the period 2000-2010. The dynamic Luenberger indicator and the static Malmquist index show, in the period under investigation, a productivity decrease of, on average, 0.3% and 1% respectively. In both measures, the technical regress is the main driver of change, despite the technical and scale efficiency growth.

description: It is well known that any entangled mixed state in $2\otimes 2$ systems can be purified via infinite copies of the mixed state. But can one distill a pure maximally entangled state from finite copies of a mixed state in any bipartite system by local operation and classical communication? This is more meaningful in practical application. We give a necessary and sufficient condition of this distillability. This condition can be expressed as: there exists distillable-subspaces. According to this condition, one can judge whether a mixed state is distillable or not easily. We also analyze some properties of distillable-subspaces, and discuss the most efficient purification protocols. Finally, we discuss the distillable enanglement of two-quibt system for the case of finite copies.

description: Energy expenditure in humans is partially understood. Sympathetic drive is an important stimulator of brown-adipose tissue-mediated increases in energy expenditure, and it is known that leptin-mediated pathways in part contribute to this. This thesis has sought to understand human energy expenditure further by two different methods. Firstly, we have characterised the first rare human mutations in G protein-coupled receptor 10 (GPR10), a G protein coupled receptor expressed in key brain areas associated with energy homeostasis. GPR10-mediated signalling in the dorsomedial hypothalamus is necessary for the thermogenic effects of leptin. We have undertaken a detailed functional study of the mutations found from the whole exome and targeted resequencing of patients with severe early onset obesity, recruited to the Genetics of Obesity Study (GOOS). We have demonstrated that thirteen of the fifteen mutations found result in a complete or partial loss of function in vitro. We have additionally demonstrated that the mutations resulting in a complete loss of function on wild type receptor. This is important because the human mutations are found in heterozygous form. Secondly, we have conducted a randomised cross-over study of the effects of mild cooling on healthy lean men. We have demonstrated that exposure to temperatures of 16oC for two hours results in an increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse rate, relative to thermoneutral conditions. Cold exposure resulted in a drop in circulating leptin, which in common with previous studies on macronutrient preference in patients with disrupted leptin-melanocortin signalling, is associated with an increase in consumption of high fat food. Cooling is known to be neuroprotective in acute brain injury, and recent published data suggests a protective effect in chronic neurodegenerative conditions by improvements in synaptic plasticity. We have demonstrated an improvement in neurocognition after two hours of mild cooling. We have additionally shown increases in docoshexaenoic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid known to play a role in neuroprotection, with a role in maintaining membrane fluidity. These studies broaden our knowledge of human energy homeostasis. They provide evidence for the role of GPR10 in human energy homeostasis, and a rationale for the targeting of GPR10-mediated signalling pharmacologically, and provide some evidence for a role in improved neurocognition in humans.

description: Several variants of the classic Fibonacci inflation tiling are considered in an illustrative fashion, in one and in two dimensions, with an eye on changes or robustness of diffraction and dynamical spectra. In one dimension, we consider extension mechanisms of deterministic and of stochastic nature, while we look at direct product variations in a planar extension. For the pure point part, we systematically employ a cocycle approach that is based on the underlying renormalisation structure. It allows explicit calculations, particularly in cases where one meets regular model sets with Rauzy fractals as windows.

description: We study the consequences of time variations in the scale of grand unification, $M_U$, when the Planck scale and the value of the unified coupling at the Planck scale are held fixed. We show that the relation between the variations of the low energy gauge couplings is highly model dependent. It is even possible, in principle, that the electromagnetic coupling $α$ varies, but the strong coupling $α_3$ does not (to leading approximation). We investigate whether the interpretation of recent observations of quasar absorption lines in terms of time variation in $α$ can be accounted for by time variation in $M_U$. Our formalism can be applied to any scenario where a time variation in an intermediate scale induces, through threshold corrections, time variations in the effective low scale couplings.

description: Agricultural insurance is one of the financial tools that agricultural producers can potentially use to cope with increasing risks in their activity. Experiences accumulated on insurance markets demonstrate that the development of a proper agricultural insurance product can not be reached without a governmental intervention mainly due to the systemic risk and information asymmetries. The aim of this paper is to present the Hungarian agricultural insurance system and its possible development. Using the farm level economic and meteorological data we assess the costs of introducing drought and soil submersion insurance products and the possible insurance premiums for these agricultural products.

description: There are increasing evidences that quantum information theory has come to play a fundamental role in quantum gravity especially the holography. In this paper, we show some new potential connections between holography and quantum information theory. Particularly, by utilizing the multiflow description of the holographic entanglement of purification (HEoP) defined in relative homology, we obtain several new inequalities of HEoP under a max multiflow configuration. Each inequality derived for HEoP has a corresponding inequality of the holographic entanglement entropy (HEE). This is further confirmed by geometric analysis. In addition, we conjecture that, based on flow considerations, each property of HEE that can be derived from bit threads may have a corresponding property for HEoP that can be derived from bit threads defined in relative homology.

description: Abstract:

 This master's thesis, submitted by Khalid Ismail Mohamud to Accord University, explores the emergent field of nursing diplomacy and its pivotal role in addressing global health challenges. Nursing diplomacy leverages the unique skills and global perspectives of nurses to improve health outcomes and foster international cooperation. This study highlights how nurses, with their patient-centered approach and deep cultural competence, can act as effective intermediaries in international health settings, advocating for improved health policies and practices across borders.

The research outlines the key principles of nursing diplomacy, including collaboration, advocacy, cultural competence, and a commitment to social justice, which empower nurses to engage effectively in global health arenas. By examining case studies and existing initiatives, this thesis provides a detailed look at how nurses can influence global health outcomes through direct care, education, policy advocacy, and participation in international health organizations.

The study uses a mixed-methods approach to capture both qualitative insights from nursing professionals engaged in diplomacy and quantitative data on the impacts of such initiatives. It assesses the barriers nurses face, such as limited recognition and support, and proposes strategies to enhance their roles in global health diplomacy.

description: We study Maxwell's equation as a theory for smooth $k$-forms on globally hyperbolic spacetimes with timelike boundary as defined by Aké, Flores and Sanchez. In particular we start by investigating on these backgrounds the D'Alembert - de Rham wave operator $\Box_k$ and we highlight the boundary conditions which yield a Green's formula for $\Box_k$. Subsequently, we characterize the space of solutions of the associated initial and boundary value problem under the assumption that advanced and retarded Green operators do exist. This hypothesis is proven to be verified by a large class of boundary conditions using the method of boundary triples and under the additional assumption that the underlying spacetime is ultrastatic. Subsequently we focus on the Maxwell operator. First we construct the boundary conditions which entail a Green's formula for such operator and then we highlight two distinguished cases, dubbed $δ\mathrm{d}$-tangential and $δ\mathrm{d}$-normal boundary conditions. Associated to these we introduce two different notions of gauge equivalence and we prove that in both cases, every equivalence class admits a representative abiding to the Lorenz gauge. We use this property and the analysis of the operator $\Box_k$ to construct and to classify the space of gauge equivalence classes of solutions of the Maxwell's equations with the prescribed boundary conditions. As a last step and in the spirit of future applications in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory, we construct the associated unital $*$-algebras of observables proving in particular that, as in the case of the Maxwell operator on globally hyperbolic spacetimes with empty boundary, they possess a non-trivial center.

description: The emergence of complex modulated structures in the magnetization pattern of thin films is a well-established experimental phenomenology caused by the frustrating effects of competing interactions. Using a coarse-grained version of the Ising ferromagnet with dipolar interactions, we develop a method that uses the information from the microscopic Hamiltonian to predict the specific topological phases present in the temperature-external magnetic field phase diagram. This is done by the combination of mean-field variational calculations and the renormalization group equations from the classical theory of two-dimensional melting. In this framework, we are able to distinguish when the orientational and translational symmetries are broken, discriminating between the ordered and disordered states of the system for all temperatures and fields. We observe that the reentrance developed by the $H$-$T$ phase diagrams in the regime of weak dipolar interactions is directly related with the appearance of anomalous topological transitions. These results motivate the realization of new experiments on magnetic thin films in order to explore the topological properties of the magnetic textures, allowing to identify new exotic phases in these materials.

description: Church leaders have always been seen as shepherds, expected to feed their flock with teaching, to guide them to salvation, and to preserve them from threatening ‘wolves’. In the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, ideas about the specifics of these pastoral duties were developing rapidly, especially in the schools of Paris and at the papal curia. Scholarly assessments of the bishops of England and Wales in this period emphasise their political and administrative activities, but there is growing interest in their pastoral role. In this thesis, the texts produced by these bishops are examined. These texts, several of which had been neglected, form a corpus of evidence that has never before been assembled. Almost all of them had a pastoral application, and thus they reveal how bishops understood and exercised their pastoral duties. Although bishops’ preaching was rarely recorded in narrative sources, combining this evidence with the extant sermons left by bishops reveals episcopal preaching to clerical, lay, and monastic audiences. Bishops also instructed the clergy through their writing. The two subjects bishops addressed most frequently were the Eucharist and confession. As new ideas about these sacraments emerged, even educated bishops fell behind the pace of change. Bishops’ treatments of the sacraments changed significantly across the period as these ideas became established. The ‘wolves’ that threatened the flock were most readily identified as heretics. England was largely unaffected by the popular heresy seen in some other regions, and bishops dealt with heretics of this kind abroad as often as at home. Other threats to orthodoxy in England were identified, however, and in some cases resisted vigorously. The evidence of these bishops’ writing confirms that, even in the midst of political turmoil and administrative innovation, pastoral care remained fundamental to episcopal office. Bishops sought to implement the ideas of Paris and Rome in their dioceses.

description: The development of global agricultural market has been at the forefront of professional studies. Expert opinions have quite differing views as to whether the world’s food production will be able to supply (and under what circumstances) the huge demand of growing population. Our paper provides a general overview of global agricultural trends, including alternative views on whether agricultural productivity increases will be able to keep up with food demand increases, price trends, and which regions of the world may undergo the largest food demand changes in the future. Our research has focused on the present state of the agricultural market and on the analysis of the key factors defining the tasks the agricultural sector faces in the near future, with a special attention to the case of Hungary.
Design Intent compared with Performance in Practice: Residential Heat Networks with Combined Heat and Power

The London Plan

description: The GLA’s London Plan includes planning policies that require developers to adopt a range of energy efficient measures and low/zero carbon technologies to reduce CO2 emissions below the Building Regulations baseline. Such polices have consequently formed a new aspect of the planning appraisal process, where the assessment of energy, CO2 and technology is now a material consideration of planning approval. Developers must submit an energy strategy to demonstrate how their design proposals achieve the policy targets. The GLA uses these documents as evidence to evaluate the outcomes of the existing policy and direct future policy decisions. The GLA’s findings suggest that their policies have been successful in reducing CO2 emissions. The vast majority of reductions are attributed to heat networks with CHP. However, there is little evidence of the actual performance of these technologies in practice, including the scale of CO2 emissions reductions delivered. This research adopted a mixed method approach to evaluate if the local energy policies which promote the adoption and implementation of heat networks and CHP are leading to the anticipated reductions in CO2 emissions. This research found that the prescriptive approach to the London Plan policy discourages context specific assessment and can lead to a practice of compliance-over-performance when deciding on the most appropriate technology to adopt. The prescribed assessment methodology was also found to be inadequate to appropriately assess the deliverable performance and would therefore, result in an energy performance gap. The research also found that design assessment measures are available to provide a more reasonable assessment of deliverable performance reducing the gap, but are not used in practice. Furthermore, those responsible for implementing the policy do not expect that the assessed performance of heat networks and CHP or the scale of CO2 emissions saved will be achieved in practice, contrary to the GLA findings.

description: The paper deals with the future of direct payments system in the EU agriculture. Different scenarios of the current system adjustments, as proposed by the European Commission, are presented. Four possible scenarios are being discussed: An ‘EU flat rate’, a pragmatic approach, the use of objective criteria and a combination of a pragmatic approach and objective criteria. It seems that the best option for the New Member States are the flat rate or the pragmatic approach criteria.

description: The last decade witnessed increasingly rapid progress in self-driving vehicle technology, mainly backed up by advances in the area of deep learning and artificial intelligence. The objective of this paper is to survey the current state-of-the-art on deep learning technologies used in autonomous driving. We start by presenting AI-based self-driving architectures, convolutional and recurrent neural networks, as well as the deep reinforcement learning paradigm. These methodologies form a base for the surveyed driving scene perception, path planning, behavior arbitration and motion control algorithms. We investigate both the modular perception-planning-action pipeline, where each module is built using deep learning methods, as well as End2End systems, which directly map sensory information to steering commands. Additionally, we tackle current challenges encountered in designing AI architectures for autonomous driving, such as their safety, training data sources and computational hardware. The comparison presented in this survey helps to gain insight into the strengths and limitations of deep learning and AI approaches for autonomous driving and assist with design choices

description: We develop a theoretical model of optimal licensing schemes for quality-improving innovations. We consider an oligopolistic market where two downstream firms compete in price and the upstream innovator holds a technology that may create differentiation between the products. Our results show that non-exclusive licensing performs better than exclusive licensing under both fixed fees and royalties and that the preferred contract consists of fixed fees only. We also find that the innovator’s license revenue depends on the magnitude of the innovation so there is a greater reward to the innovator’s institution if the innovation is large.
On-Farm Reservoir Adoption in the Presence of Spatially Explicit Groundwater Use and Recharge

description: Groundwater management is conducted in spatial aquifers where well pumping results in localized cones of depression. This is in contrast to the single-cell aquifer used in most economic analyses that assumes groundwater depletion occurs uniformly over a study area. We address two aspects of the optimal management of groundwater: a spatially explicit representation of the aquifer and the potential of on-farm reservoirs to recharge the underlying aquifer. A spatial-dynamic model of the optimal control of groundwater use and on-farm reservoir adoption is developed. Results suggest that a single-cell aquifer overestimates groundwater use and farm net returns over thirty years.

description: The Probe Of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) is designed to observe cosmic neutrinos (CNs) above 20 PeV and ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) above 20 EeV over the full sky. The POEMMA mission calls for two identical satellites flying in loose formation, each comprised of a 4-meter wide field-of-view (45 degrees) Schmidt photometer. The hybrid focal surface includes a fast (1 $μ$s) ultraviolet camera for fluorescence observations and an ultrafast (10 ns) optical camera for Cherenkov observations. POEMMA will provide new multi-messenger windows onto the most energetic events in the universe, enabling the study of new astrophysics and particle physics at these otherwise inaccessible energies.

subject: ocean acidification

description: Ocean acidification has the potential to adversely affect a number of valuable marine ecosystem services by making it more difficult, and eventually impossible, for many marine organisms to form shells and skeletons. Reef-forming corals, commercially valuable shellfish, and primary producers that form the base of the marine food web are among the affected organisms. Despite the range and magnitude of likely impacts, very few economic analyses of ocean acidification’s consequences have been conducted. This paper adds to the emerging body of literature by taking a distance function approach to estimating the benefits of avoided ocean acidification in the U.S. mollusk market. A nonlinear inverse almost ideal demand system estimates the utility parameters needed to calculate the exact consumer welfare measures compensating and equivalent surplus for two hypothetical policies that would reduce global greenhouse gas emissions relative to a business-as-usual scenario.
