description: Introduction:Aedes-borne arboviruses contributes substantially to the disease and cost burden. Areas covered: We performed a systematic review of the economic evidence surrounding aedes-borne arboviruses and strategies to prevent and control these diseases to inform disease control policy decisions and research directions. We searched four databases covering an 18-year period (2000–2018) to identify arboviral disease-related cost of illness studies, cost studies of vector control and prevention strategies, cost-effectiveness analyses and cost-benefit analyses. We identified 74 published studies that revealed substantial global total costs in yellow fever virus and dengue virus ranging from 2.1 to 57.3 billion USD. Cost studies of vector control and surveillance programs are limited, but a few studies found that costs of vector control programs ranged from 5.62 to 73.5 million USD. Cost-effectiveness evidence was limited across Aedes-borne diseases, but generally found targeted dengue vaccination programs cost-effective. This review revealed insufficient economic evidence for vaccine introduction and implementation of surveillance and vector control programs. Expert opinion: Evidence of the economic burden of aedes-borne arboviruses and the economic impact of strategies for arboviral disease prevention and control is critical to inform policy decisions and to secure continued financial support for these preventive and control measures.

description: The electronic structure of AlN in wurtzite and zinc-blende phases is studied experimentally and theoretically. By using x-ray emission spectroscopy, the Al 3p, Al 3s and N 2p spectral densities are obtained. The corresponding local and partial theoretical densities of states (DOS), as well as the total DOS and the band structure, are calculated by using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method, within the framework of the density functional theory. There is a relatively good agreement between the experimental spectra and the theoretical DOS, showing a large hybridization of the valence states all along the valence band. The discrepancies between the experimental and theoretical DOS, appearing towards the high binding energies, are ascribed to an underestimation of the valence band width in the calculations. Differences between the wurtzite and zinc-blende phases are small and reflect the slight variations between the atomic arrangements of both phases.

description: It is established that the mechanical properties of hydrogels control the fate of (stem) cells. However, despite its importance, a one-to-one correspondence between gels' stiffness and cell behaviour is still missing from literature. In this work, the viscoelastic properties of Poly(ethylene-glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogels - broadly used in 3D cell cultures and whose mechanical properties can be tuned to resemble those of different biological tissues - are investigated by means of rheological measurements performed at different length scales. When compared with literature values, the outcomes of this work reveal that conventional bulk rheology measurements may overestimate the stiffness of hydrogels by up to an order of magnitude. It is demonstrated that this apparent stiffening is caused by an induced 'tensional state' of the gel network, due to the application of a compressional normal force during measurements. Moreover, it is shown that the actual stiffness of the hydrogels is instead accurately determined by means of passive-video-particle-tracking (PVPT) microrheology measurements, which are inherently performed at cells length scales and in absence of any externally applied force. These results underpin a methodology for measuring the linear viscoelastic properties of hydrogels that are representative of the mechanical constraints felt by cells in 3D hydrogel cultures.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. 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.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

ON THE USE OF PRICE RATIO IN SUPPLY RESPONSE

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1980
Subjects: Farm Management

description: Because of a lack of data or multicollinearity problems, it is fairly common to include only a subset of the relevant prices in econometric model of supply response. This paper provides some evidence on the validity of using price ratios in this situation: A model of the U.S. poultry and egg industry where feed cost and output price are the only economic variables considered suggests that the use of price ratios would be inappropriate. If careful attention is given to model specification, it appears that homogeneity restrictions should not be imposed on supply response models unless the excluded prices are known to have little influence on production decisions.

description: The exciton-phonon coupling in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite is studied using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectroscopy. With ~ 70 meV energy resolution, multiple low energy excitations associated with coupling to phonons can be clearly resolved in RIXS spectra. Using resonance dependence and the closed form for RIXS cross-section without considering the intermediate state mixing of phonon modes, the dimensionless coupling constant g is determined to be 5 and 0.4, corresponding to the coupling strength of 0.42 eV +/- 40 meV and 0.21 eV +/- 30 meV, for zone center and boundary phonons respectively. The reduced g value for zone-boundary phonon may be related to its double resonance nature.

description: We show that a suitable ring with a ``nice'' topology, in which convergent limits of units are units, is an \aleph_0-exchange ring. We generalize the argument to show that a semi-regular ring, R, with a ``nice'' topology, is a full exchange ring. Putting these results in the language of modules, we show that a cohopfian module with finite exchange has countable exchange. Also, all modules with Dedekind-finite, semi-regular endomorphism rings are full exchange modules.

description: People of scheduled areas are not only reliant upon Water, Forest and Land (Jal, Jangal and Jameen) but these are considered to be their identity and source of livelihood. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 focuses on the requirement “to ensure Sustainable Consumption and Production Pattern and by 2030, to achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources”. In Jharkhand state, 26.2 percent of its total population belongs to various tribes out of which 91.7% of the total tribal population resides in rural areas as per 2011 census. The paper has the objective to critically examine the functioning of two important Acts, Panchayat Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA), 1996 and Forest Rights Act (FRA), 2006 enacted by Government of India for ensuring tribal self-rule in schedule five areas of India and to protect the ownership of land for tribals or forest dwellers with their right to life and livelihood respectively. It also examines whether these acts are leading towards the achievement of Natural Resource Management? The paper is based on case studies, secondary data, discussions with government officials and perusal of government records. There is an imperative need to look into the Panchayati Raj in Scheduled Areas of Jharkhand. The paper has also offered certain recommendations based on the findings of the study.

description: Lawmakers authorized several new export programs under the Food Security Act of 1985 in an attempt to increase agricultural exports. U.S. agricultural exports began to recover in fiscal 1987 and, in fiscal 1989, climbed to $39.6 billion, their highest level since 1981. Since 1986, U.S. agricultural export programs, a depreciating dollar, lower domestic commodity prices relative to world prices, and increased demand from importers have contributed to improved agricultural export sales. However, competition for world agricultural markets also has increased. Export programs help U.S. exporters meet subsidized competition, provide humanitarian relief, assist credit-seeking importers, and may help develop new overseas markets for U.S. agricultural products. Issues which could affect export programs in 1990 legislation include tightened U.S. and global grain stocks, potential budget exposure for increased loan guarantees, and the outcome of trade negotiations under the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

description: Manifold learning techniques have become increasingly valuable as data continues to grow in size. By discovering a lower-dimensional representation (embedding) of the structure of a dataset, manifold learning algorithms can substantially reduce the dimensionality of a dataset while preserving as much information as possible. However, state-of-the-art manifold learning algorithms are opaque in how they perform this transformation. Understanding the way in which the embedding relates to the original high-dimensional space is critical in exploratory data analysis. We previously proposed a Genetic Programming method that performed manifold learning by evolving mappings that are transparent and interpretable. This method required the dimensionality of the embedding to be known a priori, which makes it hard to use when little is known about a dataset. In this paper, we substantially extend our previous work, by introducing a multi-objective approach that automatically balances the competing objectives of manifold quality and dimensionality. Our proposed approach is competitive with a range of baseline and state-of-the-art manifold learning methods, while also providing a range (front) of solutions that give different trade-offs between quality and dimensionality. Furthermore, the learned models are shown to often be simple and efficient, utilising only a small number of features in an interpretable manner.

Searching for gravitational waves from the Crab pulsar - the problem of timing noise

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Of the current known pulsars, the Crab pulsar (B0531+21) is one of the most promising sources of gravitational waves. The relatively large timing noise of the Crab causes its phase evolution to depart from a simple spin-down model. This effect needs to be taken in to account when performing time domain searches for the Crab pulsar in order to avoid severely degrading the search efficiency. The Jodrell Bank Crab pulsar ephemeris is examined to see if it can be used for tracking the phase evolution of any gravitational wave signal from the pulsar, and we present a method of heterodyning the data that takes account of the phase wander. The possibility of obtaining physical information about the pulsar from comparisons of the electromagnetically and a gravitationally observed timing noise is discussed. Finally, additional problems caused by pulsar glitches are discussed.

description: The U.S. sheep inventory declined from 49 million head in 1942 to 9 million in 1989. Lamb imports have also declined and, in relation to U.S. production, are not seen as a major cause of the sheep industry's problems. Production has declined despite positive returns to producers. Government payments under the wool program provide an important source of income for the sheep industry. In recent years, the industry, including the marketing sector, has stabilized. Imports have followed the downward trend in domestic production and respond counter-cyclically to domestic price fluctuations. A major challenge to the industry is to expand consumption of lamb, a relatively expensive red meat. This study, prepared in accordance with section 4508 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, focuses on production of lamb and lamb products, returns in the sheep industry, demand and marketing trends for lamb, and lamb imports, both live and product.
The True logical Origin of Gravity Complete Model
Creators: name: passolungo, simone
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Through the observation of the classical pendulum, we identified that gravitational acceleration is not merely a mechanical effect, but the result of an organized and distributed vibration generated by matter reorganizing itself. Each atom, through its continuous process of condensation and fragmentation, contributes to an ordering machine that subtracts space, compressing it toward the Earth's core. This collective logical vibration produces an attraction field we perceive as gravity.

description: This report, based principally on unpublished tabulations from the 1974 Census of Agriculture, discusses and compares incomes and operations of over 76,000 minority farmers who control 13 million acres of farmland and who sold $1.1 billion of agricultural products. Compared to the average farm, blacks, American Indians and Hispanics have lower total incomes and lower farm incomes. Orientals have higher economic positions than other minorities and all farms. Minority farm operators have higher average incomes than their non-farm counterparts. Limited quantity of resources, including land, is a serious constraint on the total income of minorities. Each group on the average appears to do well, given their available resources.

description: Background: The number of patients suffering from coronary heart disease with cancer is rising. There is scarce evidence concerning the biomarkers related to prognosis among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with cancer. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and prognosis in this population. Methods: A total of 172 patients undergoing PCI with previous history of cancer were enrolled in this retrospective study. The endpoint was long-term all-cause mortality. According to tertiles of RDW, the patients were classified into three groups: Tertile 1 (RDW <12.8%), Tertile 2 (RDW ≥12.8% and <13.5%) and Tertile 3 (RDW ≥13.5%). Results: During an average follow-up period of 33.3 months, 29 deaths occurred. Compared with Tertile 3, mortality of Tertile 1 and Tertile 2 was significantly lower in the Kaplan–Meier analysis. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, RDW remained an independent risk factor of mortality (HR: 1.938, 95% CI: 1.295–2.655, p p = 0.014).

description: This paper studies sequence prediction based on the monotone Kolmogorov complexity Km=-log m, i.e. based on universal deterministic/one-part MDL. m is extremely close to Solomonoff's prior M, the latter being an excellent predictor in deterministic as well as probabilistic environments, where performance is measured in terms of convergence of posteriors or losses. Despite this closeness to M, it is difficult to assess the prediction quality of m, since little is known about the closeness of their posteriors, which are the important quantities for prediction. We show that for deterministic computable environments, the "posterior" and losses of m converge, but rapid convergence could only be shown on-sequence; the off-sequence behavior is unclear. In probabilistic environments, neither the posterior nor the losses converge, in general.

title: Linking Community-Level Food Sovereignty to Subjective Wellbeing: Framing Perspectives on Food Systems in the Upper Yakima River Basin
Creators: name: Theophilus, Alexander W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Food sovereignty is a framework focused on achieving a wide range of changes in food systems that yield more equitable outcomes for consumers, workers, farmers, and future generations. Food sovereignty is also believed to be an important driver of community wellbeing. However, there is limited research linking perceptions of community-level food sovereignty to subjective wellbeing. Additionally, the complex determinants of food sovereignty are not fully understood. Through two papers linking community-level food sovereignty and subjective wellbeing, I discuss the factors that influence food sovereignty and the impact of food systems on wellbeing in Washington’s upper Yakima River Basin.
In the first paper, I draw upon 17 interviews conducted with local leaders and other individuals who work in a variety of roles in agriculture, food banks, or other food-related industries. These interviews provide deep insights and expertise on how changes over time in food systems have impacted their communities. I find that levels of food access are different between and within communities. I also find that historical and ongoing changes in agriculture are impacting community wellbeing. In my second paper, I draw upon 121 interviews for a broader discussion of the role of food systems in driving perceptions of wellbeing. These interviews come from local leaders and general community members from six different communities in two counties in the upper Yakima River Basin. Findings in this paper reinforce that food access is not distributed equally within or between communities. Additionally, I find that even interviewees without a direct relationship to farming believe agriculture to be important to wellbeing in several communities of focus, and many are concerned about changes in agriculture over time. When taken together, the two papers in this thesis help build an understanding of the impact of food systems on community wellbeing and the importance of community-level food sovereignty for achieving future food justice.

description: Abstract

This study aims to evaluate factors affecting the behavior of informal sector workers participating in voluntary social insurance. The project has carried out a rigorous research process based on a representative sample of workers in the informal sector. It has successfully built and adjusted measurement scales based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The results show that subjective norms significantly impact the Intention to participate in voluntary social insurance but have no relationship with the behavior of participating in voluntary social insurance. Besides, the regression results also show that perceived usefulness directly impacts the Intention to participate in voluntary social insurance and the Behavior of participating in voluntary social insurance. Notably, the results show that the employee's moral responsibility towards family strongly impacts the Intention to participate and behavior in voluntary social insurance. The research results show a strong relationship between the intermediate variable of Intention to participate and the behavior of participating in voluntary social insurance. The results show an indirect relationship between the subjective norm variables, moral responsibility, and behavior of participating in voluntary social insurance through the intermediate variable, Intention to participate in voluntary social insurance. However, the results do not show an indirect relationship between subjective norms and the behavior of participating in voluntary social insurance; in other words, Intention to participate does not mediate this relationship.
Cross Sections and Transverse Single-Spin Asymmetries in Forward Neutral-Pion Production from Proton Collisions at \sqrt{s} = 200 GeV

description: Measurements of the production of forward high-energy pi0 mesons from transversely polarized proton collisions at \sqrt{s}=200 GeV are reported. The cross section is generally consistent with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations. The analyzing power is small at x_F below about 0.3, and becomes positive and large at higher x_F, similar to the trend in data at \sqrt{s}<=20 GeV. The analyzing power is in qualitative agreement with perturbative QCD model expectations. This is the first significant spin result seen for particles produced with p_T>1 GeV/c at a polarized proton collider.

description: We study isospectrality on p-forms of compact flat manifolds by using the equivariant spectrum of the Hodge-Laplacian on the torus. We give an explicit formula for the multiplicity of eigenvalues and a criterion for isospectrality. We construct a variety of new isospectral pairs, for instance, pairs of flat manifolds of dimension n=2p, p>1, not homeomorphic to each other, which are isospectral on p-forms but not on q-forms for q different from p. Also, we give manifolds isospectral on p-forms if and only if p is odd, one of them orientable and the other not, and a pair of 0-isospectral flat manifolds, one of them Kahler, and the other not admitting any Kahler structure. We also construct pairs, M, M' of dimension n>5, which are isospectral on functions and such that the Betti numbers of M are less than those of M' for every 0

description: We present high angular resolution interferometric observations of the dust continuum at 2.7 and 1.3 mm, and of the HC3N (12-11) and C18O (2-1) emission around L1157-mm, a Class~0 object that drives a spectacular molecular outflow. The millimeter dust emission is clearly resolved into two components, a flattened compact source of ~450 x 250 AU at 1.3 mm, and mass ~0.1 Msun, plus an extended envelope of ~3000 AU at 1.3 mm, and mass ~1.1 Msun. The millimeter spectral index varies throughout the region, with the lower value found toward the compact protostar, possibly indicating grain growth in the denser regions. A strong interaction between the molecular outflow and the close protostellar environment is taking place and affects the structure of the innermost parts of the envelope. This is shown by the spatial coincidence between the molecular outflow and the dust (1.3 mm continuum) and HC3N emission: both tracers show structures associated to the edges of the outflow lobes. Basically, the global picture sketched for the Class 0 object L1157-mm by Gueth et al. (1997) is supported. We find possible evidence of infall, but we do not detect any velocity gradient indicative of a rotating circumstellar disk.

description: The Amosov-Holevo-Werner conjecture implies the additivity of the minimum Re'nyi entropies at the output of a channel. The conjecture is proven true for all Re'nyi entropies of integer order greater than two in a class of Gaussian bosonic channel where the input signal is randomly displaced or where it is coupled linearly to an external environment.

description: We propose flow-based analysis to estimate quality of an Internet connection. Using results from the queuing theory we compare two expressions for backbone traffic that have different scopes of applicability. A curve that shows dependence of utilization of a link on a number of active flows in it describes different states of the network. We propose a methodology for plotting such a curve using data received from a Cisco router by NetFlow protocol, determining the working area and the overloading point of the network. Our test is an easy way to find a moment for upgrading the backbone.

Microcanonical rates from ring-polymer molecular dynamics: Direct-shooting, stationary-phase, and maximum-entropy approaches

description: We address the calculation of microcanonical reaction rates for processes involving significant nuclear quantum effects using ring-polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD), both with and without electronically non-adiabatic transitions. After illustrating the shortcomings of the naive free-particle direct-shooting method, in which the temperature of the internal ring-polymer modes is set to the translational energy scale, we investigate alternative strategies based on the expression for the microcanonical rate in terms of the inverse Laplace transform of the thermal reaction rate. It is shown that simple application of the stationary-phase approximation (SPA) dramatically improves the performance of the microcanonical rates using RPMD, particularly in the low-energy region where tunneling dominates. Using the SPA as a Bayesian prior, numerically exact RPMD microcanonical rates are then obtained using maximum entropy inversion of the thermal reaction rates, for both electronically adiabatic and non-adiabatic model systems. Finally, the direct-shooting method is revisited using the SPA-determined temperature for the internal ring-polymer modes, leading to a simple, direct-simulation method with improved accuracy in the tunneling regime.
