description: For a partially ordered set P, we denote by Co(P) the lattice of order-convex subsets of P. We find three new lattice identities, (S), (U), and (B), such that the following result holds. Theorem. Let L be a lattice. Then L embeds into some lattice of the form Co(P) iff L satisfies (S), (U), and (B). Furthermore, if L has an embedding into some Co(P), then it has such an embedding that preserves the existing bounds. If L is finite, then one can take P finite, of cardinality at most $2n^2-5n+4$, where n is the number of join-irreducible elements of L. On the other hand, the partially ordered set P can be chosen in such a way that there are no infinite bounded chains in P and the undirected graph of the predecessor relation of P is a tree.

description: The potential economic impacts of the introduction of bovine somatotropin (bST) on U.S. milk supply and demand are analyzed using a national model of Class I and Class II milk markets. The results indicate that the introduction of bST will lead to lower milk prices, higher milk production, and larger government purchases of dairy products. Unlike previous economic analyses of bST, this analysis considers both supply and demand effects of bST. The implication is that studies that ignore potential demand-side effects may produce misleading results.

description: The compatibility between the QCD analytic invariant charge and chiral symmetry breaking is examined in detail. The coupling in question incorporates asymptotic freedom and infrared enhancement into a single expression, and contains only one adjustable parameter with dimension of mass. When inserted into the standard form of the quark gap-equation it gives rise to solutions displaying singular confining behavior at the origin. By relating these solutions to the pion decay constant, a rough estimate of about 880 MeV is obtained for the aforementioned mass-scale.

description: We propose a scheme to achieve the analogous interface-state laser by dint of the interface between the two intermediate-resonator-coupled non-Hermitian resonator chains. We find that, after introducing the couplings between the two resonator chains and the intermediate resonator at the interface, the photons of the system mainly gather into the three resonators near the intermediate resonator. The phenomenon of the photon gathering towards the certain resonators is expected to construct the photon storage and even the laser generator. We reveal that the phenomenon is induced via the joint effect between the isolated intermediate resonator and two kinds of non-Hermitian skin effects. Specially, we investigate the interface-state laser in topologically trivial non-Hermitian resonator array in detail. We find that the pulsed interface-state laser can be achieved accompanying with the intermittent proliferation of the photons at the intermediate resonator when an arbitrary resonator is excited. Also, we reveal that the pulsed interface-state laser in the topologically trivial non-Hermitian resonator array is immune to the on-site defects in some cases, whose mechanism is mainly induced by the nonreciprocal couplings instead of the protection of topology. Our scheme provides a promising and excellent platform to investigate interface-state laser in the micro-resonator array.

description: We have shown earlier that, contrary to popular belief, Einstein--de Sitter (E--deS) models can still fit the {\sl WMAP} data on the cosmic microwave background provided one adopts a low Hubble constant and relaxes the usual assumption that the primordial density perturbation is scale-free. The recent {\sl SDSS} measurement of the large-scale correlation function of luminous red galaxies at $z \sim 0.35$ has however provided a new constraint by detecting a `baryon acoustic peak'. Our best-fit E--deS models do possess a baryonic feature at a similar physical scale as the best-fit $Λ$CDM concordance model, but do not fit the new observations as well as the latter. In particular the shape of the correlation function in the range $\sim 10-100 h^{-1}$ Mpc cannot be reproduced properly without violating the CMB angular power spectrum in the multipole range $l \sim 100-1000$. Thus, the combination of the CMB fluctuations and the shape of the correlation function up to $\sim 100 h^{-1}$Mpc, if confirmed, does seem to require dark energy for a homogeneous cosmological model based on (adiabatic) inflationary perturbations.

description: IGR J17091-3624 is a low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) which received wide attention from the community thanks to its similarities with the bright black hole system GRS 1915+105. Both systems exhibit a wide range of highly structured X-ray variability during outburst, with time scales from few seconds to tens of minutes, which make them unique in the study of mass accretion in LMXBs. In this work we present a general overview into the long-term evolution of IGR J17091-3624, using Swift/XRT observations from the onset of the 2011-2013 outburst in February 2011 to the end of the last bright outburst in November 2016. We found 4 re-flares during the decay of the 2011 outburst, but no similar re-flares appear to be present in the latter one. We studied in detail the period with the lowest flux observed in the last 10 years, just at the tail end of the 2011-2013 outburst, using Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. We observed changes in flux as high as a factor of 10 during this period of relative quiescence, without strong evidence of softening in the spectra. This result suggests that the source has not been observed at its true quiescence so far. By comparing the spectral properties at low luminosities of IGR J17091-3624 and those observed for a well studied population of LMXBs, we concluded that IGR J17091-3624 is most likely to host a black hole as a compact companion rather than a neutron star.

description: U.S. white corn production, consumption, and exports increased from 1980 to 1999/00 and production and area have since declined. White corn is produced largely in Nebraska, Kentucky, and Texas, although production in Texas has declined and has increased in other states (Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa). Major domestic processors of white corn are located in the southern United States, with the closest large domestic processor located in St. Joseph, MO. Comparisons of white and yellow corn varieties suggest yields are similar, but have a wide range of variability. Net returns for white corn are most affected by white corn premiums and yield differences relative to yellow corn in southeastern and south central North Dakota. A 10 percent yield advantage for white corn over yellow corn or increases in the white corn premium from 10 cents/bu to 30 cents/bu would increase net returns to labor by $10/a in southeastern North Dakota. Effects of increases in yield advantages or white corn premiums have larger impacts in Nebraska than in North Dakota. Estimated net local prices for North Dakota were 22-25 cents/bu higher for shipment to the Pacific Northwest (PNW) export market than for shipment to domestic markets. This dominance of the PNW market for exports of either white or yellow corn from North Dakota and cost disadvantages relative to production from Nebraska makes serving the domestic processing market not so attractive. Results would change if: 1) a local processor or domestic market were to arise which was not at a disadvantage to being supplied from other areas; 2) premiums for white corn over yellow corn were to increase for a sustained period of time; 3) yield advantages of white corn varieties relative to yellow corn varieties increase; or 4) an export market which was not disadvantaged relative to being supplied from other regions were to emerge.
Peering through the OH-forest: a new technique to remove residual sky features from SDSS spectra

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) currently provides by far the largest homogeneous sample of intermediate signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) optical spectra of galaxies and quasars. The fully automated SDSS spectroscopic reduction pipeline has provided spectra of unprecedented quality that cover the wavelength range 3800-9200A. However, in common with spectra from virtually all multi-object surveys employing fibres, there remain significant systematic residuals in many of the spectra due to the incomplete subtraction of the strong OH sky emission lines longward of 6700A. The S/N over substantial wavelength regions in many spectra is reduced by more than a factor of 2 over that expected from counting statistics. We present a method to automatically remove the sky residual signal, using a principal component analysis (PCA) which takes advantage of the correlation in the form of the sky subtraction residuals present in each spectrum. Application of the method results in spectra with essentially no evidence for degradation due to the incomplete subtraction of OH emission features. A dramatic improvement in the quality of a substantial number of spectra, particularly those of faint objects such as the bulk of the high-redshift quasars, is achieved. We make available IDL code and documentation to implement the sky residual subtraction scheme on SDSS spectra included in the public data releases. We illustrate the power of the sky-residual subtraction scheme using samples of SDSS galaxy and quasar spectra, presenting tests involving the near-infrared CaII triplet absorption, metal absorption line features in damped Lyman-alpha systems and composite spectra of high-redshift quasars.

description: This study divides the U.S. economy into the agricultural and industrial sectors and compares the degree of involvement of exchange rates in each sector without specifying the rigid assumption of either exogeneity or endogeneity of exchange rates. Both short- and long-run impacts of shocks in the exchange rate are found to be significant. However, the effect of an exchange rate shock on the agricultural sector is larger than that on the industrial sector. This study examines a fundamental question about the role of the exchange rate in the two sectors. The exchange rate is exogenous in the agricultural sector, while being endogenous in the industrial sector.

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Motivated by the absence of Misner string in the Euclidean Taub-Bolt/NUT solutions with flat horizons, we present a new treatment for studying the thermodynamics of these spactimes. This treatment is based on introducing a new charge, $N=σ\, n$ (where $n$ is the nut charge and $σ$ is some constant) and its conjugate thermodynamic potential $Φ_N$. Upon identifying one of the spatial coordinates, the boundary of these solutions contains two annulus-like surfaces in addition to the constant-r surface. For these solutions, we show that these annuli surfaces receive electric, magnetic and mass/energy fluxes, therefore, they have nontrivial contributions to these conserved charges. Calculating these conserved charges we find, $Q_e = Q^{\infty}_e-2NΦ_m$, $Q_m =Q^{\infty}_m+2NΦ_e$ and $\mathfrak{M} =M-2NΦ_N$, where $Q^{\infty}_e$, $Q^{\infty}_m$, $M$ are electric charge, magnetic charge and mass in the $n=0$ case, while $Φ_e$ and $Φ_m$ are the electric and magnetic potentials. The calculated thermodynamic quantities obey the first law of thermodynamics while the entropy is the area of the horizon. Furthermore, all these quantities obey Smarr's relation. We show the consistency of these results through calculating the Hamiltonian and its variation which reproduces the first law.

description: This paper characterizes the solution to a finite horizon min-max optimal control problem where the system is linear and discrete-time with control and state constraints, and the cost quadratic; the disturbance is negatively costed, as in the standard H-infinity problem, and is constrained. The cost is minimized over control policies and maximized over disturbance sequences so that the solution yields a feedback control. It is shown that the value function is piecewise quadratic and the optimal control policy piecewise affine, being quadratic and affine, respectively, in polytopes that partition the domain of the value function.

description: Variety release decisions involve a number of tradeoffs, usually between grower and end-user characteristics as well as significant uncertainties about agronomic, quality, and economic variables. In this study, methodologies were developed to value tradeoffs for grower and end-user characteristics for wheat. The models capture effects of variability in agronomic, quality, and economic variables. The models were applied for three experimental varieties which have since been released and for two hypothetical varieties. Results indicate two of the experimental varieties provide improvements in grower and end-use value over most of the incumbents. Comparison of a risk adjusted portfolio model consisting of characteristics of end-use and grower values with traditional stochastic dominance techniques (tested for level of significance) indicate similar results. However, the portfolio model incorporates aspects of correlation between grower and end-use values simultaneously.

description: Questions have emerged in the United States and Canada regarding the role and function of quality in international markets. One has been the definition and composition of different market segments, with a particular focus on higher quality customers. In this study, trends in U.S. wheat exports are analyzed by class, grade, protein, and market segment. Analysis shows trends toward increases in exports of higher grades of Hard Amber Durum (HAD) and Hard Red Spring (HRS); whereas, exports of higher quality grades for Hard Red Winter (HRW) appear to be moderate. Exports of HRS, HRW, and HAD show increases in proportion of exports shipped at higher protein levels and increases in the proportion of exports where protein is specified. Cluster analysis for each class indicated there have been changes through time including: dockage levels for the highest quality segments declined, the percent of shipments specifying protein increased, and there is a shift toward more market segments. Shares of export volumes for the highest quality segments for both HAD and HRS more than doubled their share of export volume from 7% to 21% for HAD and 18% to 42% for HRS, while shares for the high quality segment for HRW were similar in size to earlier periods, although two moderate quality segments did emerge that were not present in earlier periods.

description: The proliferation of sensor technologies and advancements in data collection methods have enabled the accumulation of very large amounts of data. Increasingly, these datasets are considered for scientific research. However, the design of the system architecture to achieve high performance in terms of parallelization, query processing time, aggregation of heterogeneous data types (e.g., time series, images, structured data, among others), and difficulty in reproducing scientific research remain a major challenge. This is specifically true for health sciences research, where the systems must be i) easy to use with the flexibility to manipulate data at the most granular level, ii) agnostic of programming language kernel, iii) scalable, and iv) compliant with the HIPAA privacy law. In this paper, we review the existing literature for such big data systems for scientific research in health sciences and identify the gaps of the current system landscape. We propose a novel architecture for software-hardware-data ecosystem using open source technologies such as Apache Hadoop, Kubernetes and JupyterHub in a distributed environment. We also evaluate the system using a large clinical data set of 69M patients.

description: The many-body theory of photoemission in solids is reviewed with emphasis on methods based on response theory. The classification of diagrams into loss and no-loss diagrams is discussed and related to Keldysh path-ordering book-keeping. Some new results on energy losses in valence-electron photoemission from free-electron-like metal surfaces are presented. A way to group diagrams is presented in which spectral intensities acquire a Golden-Rule-like form which guarantees positiveness. This way of regrouping should be useful also in other problems involving spectral intensities, such as the problem of improving the one-electron spectral function away from the quasiparticle peak.

description: We study a complete and distance-limited sample of 25 LINERs, 21 of which have been imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope. In nine objects we detect an unresolved nucleus. In order to study their physical properties, we compare the radio and optical properties of the nuclei of LINERs with those of other samples of local AGNs, namely Seyfert galaxies and low-luminosity radio galaxies (LLRG). Our results show that the LINERs population is not homogeneous, as there are two subclasses: i) the first class is similar to LLRG, as it extends the population of radio-loud nuclei to lower luminosities; ii) the second is similar to Seyferts, and extends the properties of radio-quiet nuclei towards the lowest luminosities. The objects are optimally discriminated in the plane formed by the black hole mass vs. nuclear radio-loudness: all radio-loud LINERs have M_BH/M_sun > 10^8, while Seyferts and radio-quiet LINERs have M_BH/M_sun < 10^8. The different nature of the various classes of local AGN are best understood when the fraction of the Eddington luminosity they irradiate L_o/L_Edd is plotted against the nuclear radio-loudness parameter: Seyferts are associated with relatively {\it high} radiative efficiencies L_o/L_Edd >~ 10^-4 (and high accretion rates onto low mass black holes); LLRG are associated with low radiative efficiencies (and low accretion rates onto high black hole masses); all LINERs have low radiative efficiency (and accretion rates), and can be radio-loud or radio quiet depending on their black hole mass.

The study focuses on three areas: (1) the effects of hedging costs in both commodity and currency futures hedging, (2) the relationship between hedging cost and trade volume of a grain, and (3) a prescriptive hedging strategy for Japanese wheat importers in the commodity and currency futures markets. A demand system for futures hedging is presented and the effect of hedging cost on the model is analyzed. The model is applied to a representative wheat importer in Japan. Demand for futures is estimated under different levels of hedging costs in both commodity and currency futures markets. The empirical results show that the hedging costs are significant in both markets. The demand for hedging increases when the hedging costs decrease. When hedging costs are incorporated into the model, the two futures hedging have a substitute relationship.

description: Quando nel XVI secolo l'Impero spagnolo divenne un' ‘impresa globale’, le conoscenze architettoniche provenivano dai centri intellettuali e politici che ospitavano università e centri di potere civico e religioso. Valladolid, Toledo, Siviglia, Salamanca e Alcalá de Henares furono tra i primi a vedere adottate in Spagna le tendenze architettoniche classiche che avrebbero poi attraversato tutto l'impero. Questo saggio sceglie di esplorare l'arrivo, l'adozione e la ricezione dell'architettura classica in tre regioni provinciali dell'impero di Carlo V: Estremadura, Sardegna e Nuova Spagna. Come sosterrò, il classicismo in architettura divenne uno strumento indispensabile per esprimere la fedeltà, in forme diverse, a un progetto di impero.  Decentrando le sedi del potere politico ed economico e quelle della produzione intellettuale-architettonica, mi propongo di far luce su come e perché il classicismo architettonico fu introdotto, adottato e impiegato in questi regni provinciali e su come le loro interpretazioni soddisfacessero ed esprimessero agende locali e imperiali legate al potere civile, religioso e politico.

As the Spanish Empire became a global enterprise in the sixteenth century, architectural knowledge emanated from the intellectual and political centers that hosted universities and centers of civic and religious power. Valladolid, Toledo, Seville, Salamanca, and Alcalá de Henares were among the first to see classical architectural trends adopted in Spain that would later travel throughout the empire. This essay, however, chooses to explore classical architecture’s arrival, adoption, and reception in three provincial regions of Charles the V's empire: Extremadura, Sardinia, and New Spain. As I will argue, classicism in architecture became an indispensable tool for expressing allegiance, in different forms, to a project of empire.  By decentering the seats of political and economic power, and those of intellectual-architectural production, I aim to shed light on how and why architectural classicism was introduced, adopted, and employed in these provincial realms and how their interpretations fulfilled and expressed local and imperial agendas related to civil, religious, and political power.

description: Being beneficial for the amplitude modulation of the pump laser, we propose a simple yet surprisingly effective mechanical squeezing scheme in a standard optomechanical system. By merely introducing a specific kind of periodic modulation into the single-tone driving field to cool down the mechanical Bogoliubov mode, the far beyond 3-dB strong mechanical squeezing can be engineered without requiring any additional techniques. Specifically, we find that the amount of squeezing is not simply dependent on the order of magnitude of the effective optomechanical coupling but strongly on the ratio of sideband strengths for it. To maximize the mechanical squeezing, we numerically and analytically optimize this ratio in the steady-state regime, respectively. The mechanical squeezing engineered in our scheme also has strong robustness and can survive at a high bath temperature. Compared with previous schemes based on the two-tone pump technique, our scheme involves fewer external control laser source and can be extended to other quantum systems to achieve strong squeezing effect.

description: B decays into pion pion K and K anti-K K, where the pion-pion and anti-K K pairs interact in isospin zero S-wave, are studied in the pion-pion effective mass range from threshold to 1.2 GeV. The interplay of strong and weak decay amplitudes is analyzed using an unitary pion-pion and K anti-K coupled channel model. Final state interactions are described in terms of four scalar form factors constrained by unitarity and chiral perturbation theory. Branching ratios for the B decay into f0(980)K, calculated in the factorization approximation with some QCD corrections, are too low as compared to recent data. In order to improve agreement with experiment, we introduce long-distance contributions called charming penguins. Effective mass distributions, branching ratios and asymmetries are compared with the existing data from BaBar and Belle collaborations. A particularly large negative asymmetry in charged B decays is predicted for one set of the charming penguin amplitudes.

description: Several recent developments have stimulated farmers' interest in raising corn for ethanol production in northwestern North Dakota. The purpose of this study is to estimate the corn supply response of western North Dakota farmers for ethanol production. Two focus groups of western North Dakota farmers (Williston and Minot) were organized. The market premium over prevailing local corn prices that was required by western North Dakota farms to entice additional production of an ethanol specific hybrid was determined. Aggregation of these farm responses yielded a supply function of corn for the region. Results show that sufficient corn can be produced in the surrounding region to support a 12 million gallon ethanol facility if modest price premiums are provided. The availability of short-season hybrids adapted specifically to the region may constrain expansion.

description: This report evaluates the U.S. and world wheat markets for the 2000-2010 period by using the Global Wheat Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on a series of assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, weather conditions, and technological change. Both the U.S. and world wheat economies are predicted to be improving for the next ten years. World demands for both common and durum wheat are expected to grow faster than world production of the two wheat classes, resulting in gradual increases in prices of the wheats, which are predicted to increase 5.3% for durum wheat and 1.1% for common wheat for the 2000-2010 period. World trade volumes of both classes of wheat are expected to expand, but trade volume of durum wheat may grow faster than common wheat.

description: Changing demographics in rural and urban North Dakota have provided both opportunities and challenges for rural communities. Cass County boasts the state's largest and fastest growing urban center, but the impact of the county's growth extends beyond the Fargo-West Fargo city limits. Towns like Casselton, Horace, and Kindred have experienced substantial changes not only in the number of residents, but also in the composition of households and their business and service needs and preferences. To address these questions, the Rural Cass County Business and Services Preference Survey was designed to identify and quantify residents' perceptions on a variety of issues. This report details respondents' perceptions on quality of life issues, business and service patronization, as well as describes some basic demographic characteristics of rural Cass County residents.

Mechanisms of [gamma]-linolenic acid induction of apoptosis in T cells chronically infected with HIV-1
Creators: name: Mpanju, Onesmo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: BACKGROUND: The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) kills HIV-1- infected cells at concentrations that are relatively harmless to uninfected cells. The mechanism of this effect is unclear but evidence implicates oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to define mechanisms of GLA cytotoxicity in HIV-infected T cells. METHODS: The test model comprised uninfected A3.01 and HIV-1-infected 8E5 T cells. Cell proliferation was measured using WST-1 and Trypan blue dye-exclusion assays. Colorimetric analysis for lipid peroxidation, and supplementation with antioxidants and lipoxygenase (LOX) or cyclooxygenase (COX)-mediated PUFA metabolism inhibitors probed for involvement of oxidative stress. Apoptosis was assayed flow cytometrically using FITC-conjugated Annexin V and bromodeoxyuridine. We examined cells for specific apoptosis signaling using caspase inhibitors, and by ribonuclease protection and immunoblot assays. Propidium iodide staining helped to investigate association of apoptosis and cell cycling. As validation, GLA effects were assessed in CD4⁺ cells infected demuowith isolates of HIV-1, or freshly isolated from HIV⁺ patients. RESULTS: GLA was more cytotoxic to 8E5 cells (IC₅₀ = 14.5 μg/ml) than A3:01 cells (IC₅₀ = 43.0 μg/ml). GLA-induced cytotoxicity in 8E5 was associated with a four-fold increase in concentration of lipid peroxidation metabolites. The thiol antioxidant, 2-mercaptoethanol, and glutathione peroxidasernimic, ebselen, inhibited GLA actions. Concentration-specific inhibition was also achieved with LOX and COX inhibitors. Flow cytometric analysis with Annexin V-FITC and BrdU-FITC, and inhibition by caspase inhibitor BD.fmk confirmed occurrence of apoptosis in GLA-treated cells. The majority of apoptotic cells were found in the G₀/G₁ cell cycle-phase. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated cleavage of caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Differential GLA cytotoxicity was also observed in cells acutely infected with HIV-l[sub IIIB] but not in cells infected with other isolates. There was a negative correlation between GLA IC₅₀ in CD4⁺ cells from HIV⁺ patients and plasma viral load. CONCLUSION: GLA induces apoptosis in 8E5 cells through a mechanism that involves lipid peroxidation and cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP. GLA cytotoxicity against CD4⁺ cells of HIV⁺ patients increases with viral load. Therefore, GLA and its homologues deserve further study in the search for compounds that target HIV-infected cells for selective killing.

description: A discussion is given of recent developments in canonical gravity that assimilates the conformal analysis of gravitational degrees of freedom. The work is motivated by the problem of time in quantum gravity and is carried out at the metric and the triad levels. At the metric level, it is shown that by extending the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) phase space of general relativity (GR), a conformal form of geometrodynamics can be constructed. In addition to the Hamiltonian and diffeomorphism constraints, an extra first class constraint is introduced to generate conformal transformations. This phase space consists of York's mean extrinsic curvature time, conformal three-metric and their momenta. At the triad level, the phase space of GR is further enlarged by incorporating spin-gauge as well as conformal symmetries. This leads to a canonical formulation of GR using a new set of real spin connection variables. The resulting gravitational constraints are first class, consisting of the Hamiltonian constraint and the canonical generators for spin-gauge and conformorphism transformations. The formulation has a remarkable feature of being parameter-free. Indeed, it is shown that a conformal parameter of the Barbero-Immirzi type can be absorbed by the conformal symmetry of the extended phase space. This gives rise to an alternative approach to loop quantum gravity that addresses both the conceptual problem of time and the technical problem of functional calculus in quantum gravity.
