description: The model-independent method based on the triangle ideology is implemented to extract the CKM-matrix angle gamma in the decays of doubly heavy baryons containing the charmed and beauty quarks. We analyze a color structure of diagrams and conditions for reconstructing two reference-triangles by tagging the flavor and CP eigenstates of neutral D mesons in the fixed exclusive channels. The characteristic branching ratios are evaluated in the framework of a potential model setting a parametric dependence on the hadronic matrix elements for the decay rates.

description: In 2002, EPA established a voluntary program called the Climate Leaders Program (CL Program) designed for organizations to complete a corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, set a goal for reducing GHG emissions, and achieve that goal. The program was never implemented as a product labeling program. In 2010, EPA announced the program’s phase out. This study examines whether the CL Program could have been effectively used as a consumer product labeling program to assist consumers in choosing products manufactured by firms that have voluntarily set and achieved targeted GHG emission reductions.

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, neurodegenerative disorder leading to quadriplegia and aphagia. While swallowing difficulties and increased energy demand lead to malnutrition, increased lipid concentration may correlate with survival and respiratory functions. Objective: To analyze the frequency and type of dyslipidemias in a large population of clinically characterized ALS patients (PALS). Methods: The retrospective study included clinical and laboratory data of 650 consecutive PALS fulfilling the El Escorial criteria and 365 age- and gender-matched hospital controls. Results: 65% of PALS suffered from dyslipidemia independently of concomitant metabolic diseases. The most frequent lipid disorder was hypercholesterolemia (35% PALS, 25% controls), followed by mixed dyslipidemia (24.6%, 14%), with rare cases of hypertriglyceridemia and atherogenic dyslipidemia. Triacylglycerols (TAG) and LDL/HDL correlated with BMI, while LDL/HDL and total cholesterol (TCh) with disease duration. Among PALS with concomitant metabolic diseases, TCh correlated with disease duration and ALSFRS-R, while TAG with respiratory functions (FVC) in patients without metabolic diseases. The highest median concentration of TCh, LDL and LDL/HDL was found in classic ALS and PMA and the lowest in PBP. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia occurs more frequently in PALS compared to controls and independently of concomitant metabolic diseases. Similar to the general population, the most frequent lipid disturbance is hypercholesterolemia, followed by mixed dyslipidemia. Although particular lipid parameters correlate with BMI and disease duration, they do not show strong correlations with disease progression rate. There is a need of randomized control trials assessing the risk and benefits of the use of lipid lowering agents in ALS.

description: Software systems evolve over their lifetime. Changing conditions, such as requirements or customer requests make it inevitable for developers to perform adjustments to the underlying code base. Especially in the context of open source software where everybody can contribute, requirements can change over time and new user groups may be addressed. In particular, research software is often not structured with a maintainable and extensible architecture. In combination with obsolescent technologies, this is a challenging task for new developers, especially, when students are involved. In this paper, we report on the modularization process and architecture of our open source research project ExplorViz towards a microservice architecture. The new architecture facilitates a collaborative development process for both researchers and students. We describe the modularization measures and present how we solved occurring issues and enhanced our development process. Afterwards, we illustrate our modularization approach with our modernized, extensible software system architecture and highlight the improved collaborative development process. Finally, we present a proof-of-concept implementation featuring several developed extensions in terms of architecture and extensibility.

description: Spatial classifications of the environment have previously been used to characterise biodiversity and to facilitate management planning at large spatial scales. Such classifications are more likely to be adopted if they can demonstrate integration of real patterns in habitats or biotic assemblages, in addition to environment. A previous classification used Gradient Forest analysis to derive 30 classes based on demersal fish assemblage patterns and environmental gradients. Here we provide a detailed description of the similarities and differences in the environment and fish assemblages of classes resulting from an updated classification using the same methodology. Environmental differences were associated with varying levels of differences in the distributions of fish species. At broad spatial scales, assemblages are differentiated primarily according to oceanographic conditions such as temperature and depth; at finer scales, patterns in species assemblages are more closely associated with more localised environmental conditions such as productivity, sea-surface temperature gradients and tidal currents. The 30-group classification allows complex biodiversity information to be summarised in ways accessible to stakeholder and environmental managers. Given the hierarchical nature of the classification, there is considerable scope to use a larger number of groups for applications at regional to local scales.

description: The potential of agricultural biotechnology to produce seed traits that reduce yield risk generates widespread excitement. Hopes are high that in an era of tightening water constraints and climate change drought tolerant (DT) crop varieties will stabilize food production and allow for greater adaptation to changing production conditions. Although the DT agenda has united the public and private agricultural research system around concerns that seem to span rich and poor countries alike, the underlying crop-drought relationships differ substantially over space. We devise a methodology for characterizing these spatial differences in ‘optimal drought severity’ across two locations in Africa (Ethiopia and Mali) and one in the U.S. (Wisconsin) and analyze these differences to infer implications for the diffusion and impact of DT crop varieties. Drought-conditioned yield distributions for non-DT maize provide the benchmark against which we assess relative DT benefits in each setting. We construct a distribution of expected relative DT benefits as the product of the site-specific relative DT benefits distribution by rainfall and the site-specific rainfall distribution. We discuss how spatial differences in these expected relative DT benefit distributions may affect farmer decision making and welfare as well as agricultural adaptation to climate change.

description: Almost sixty years ago Zolotarev proved a duality result which relates an $α$-stable density for $α\in(1,2)$ to the density of a $\frac1α$-stable distribution on the positive real line. In recent years Zolotarev duality was the key to show space-time duality for fractional diffusions stating that certain heat-type fractional equations with a fractional derivative of order $α$ in space are equivalent to corresponding time-fractional differential equations of order $\frac1α$. We review on this space-time duality and take it as a recipe for a generalization from the stable to the semistable situation.

Quasi-saddles of Liquids: Computational Study of a bulk Lennard-Jones system

description: Quasi-saddles or inherent saddles of the potential energy surface, $U$, of a liquid are defined as configurations which correspond to absolute minima of the pseudo-potential surface, $W =\wf$, as identified by a multi-dimensional minimisation procedure. The sensitivity of statistical properties of inherent saddles to the convergence criteria of the minimisation procedure is investigated using, as a test system, a simple liquid bound by a quadratically shifted Lennard-Jones pair potential with continuous zeroth, first and second derivatives at the cut-off distance. The variation in statistical properties of saddles is studied over a range of error tolerances spanning five orders of magnitude. The largest value of the tolerance corresponds to that used for the unshifted LJ liquids in a previous work (J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 115}, 8784 (2001)). Based on our results, it is clear that there are no qualitative changes in statistical properties of saddles over this range of error tolerances and even the quantitative changes are small. The lowest magnitude eigenvalue, $| ω_0^2|$, of the Hessian is, however, found to be very sensitive to the tolerance; as the tolerance is decreased, $| ω_0^2|$ is found to show an overall decrease. This indicates that if convergence criteria are not strict, absolute or low-lying minima of $W(\br)$ will be diagnosed as having no inflexion directions. The results also show that it is not possible to set up an unambiguous numerical criterion to further classify the quasi-saddles into true saddles which contain no zero curvature, non-translational normal modes and inflexion points which have one or more zero-curvature normal mode directions.

description: Indonesia is a Developing Country (DC) where more than 13 percent of her population live below the poverty line and approximately half of all households are near the national poverty line. While at the national level, Indonesia has sufficient food production to be self supporting, not all regions have the same endowment of agricultural productive capacity which can result in regional shortages. This study examines the extent to which a reduction in Indonesia‟s trade and transport margins can reduce interregional agri-food prices and thus help improve food security. As few studies explore the impact of intra-national trade barriers; this paper makes a unique contribution to this small, but important literature. Findings suggest that reducing trade margin or “soft infrastructure” margins is the more effective approach to improving economic outcomes across Indonesia‟s regions. Further, while reducing trade margins improved the poverty incidence for residence in all regions, the primary beneficiaries of this investment were those that live in urban areas. Results will be of interest to those interested in supporting the welfare of individuals in developing countries, and particularly living in island nations.

description: Objective: Levels of chitotriosidase (CHIT1) are increased in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients reflecting microglial activation. Here, we determine the diagnostic and prognostic potential of CHIT1 for early symptomatic ALS. Methods: Overall, 275 patients from 8 European neurological centers were examined. We included ALS with <6 and >6 months from symptom onset, other motoneuron diseases (oMND), ALS mimics (DCon) and non-neurodegenerative controls (Con). CSF CHIT1 levels were analyzed for diagnostic power and association with progression and survival in comparison to the benchmark neurofilament. The 24-bp duplication polymorphism of CHIT1 was analyzed in a subset of patients (N = 65). Results: Homozygous CHIT1 duplication mutation carriers (9%) invariably had undetectable CSF CHIT1 levels, while heterozygous carriers had similar levels as patients with wildtype CHIT1 (p = 0.414). In both early and late symptomatic ALS CHIT1 levels was increased, did not correlate with patients’ progression rates, and was higher in patients diagnosed with higher diagnostic certainty. Neurofilament levels correlated with CHIT1 levels and prevailed over CHIT1 regarding diagnostic performance. Both CHIT1 and neurofilaments were identified as independent predictors of survival in late but not early symptomatic ALS. Evidence is provided that CHIT1 predicts progression in El Escorial diagnostic category in the group of ALS cases with a short duration. Conclusions: CSF CHIT1 level may have additional value in the prognostication of ALS patients with a short history of symptoms classified in diagnostic categories of lower clinical certainty. To fully interpret apparently low CHIT1 levels knowledge of CHIT1 genotype is needed.
Qubit-Qutrit ($2 \otimes 3$) quantum systems: An investigation of some quantum correlations under collective dephasing

description: We revisit qubit-qutrit quantum systems under collective dephasing and answer some of the questions which have not been asked and addressed so far in the literature. In particular, we examine the possibilities of non-trivial phenomena of {\it time-invariant} entanglement and {\it freezing} dynamics of entanglement for this dimension of Hilbert space. Interestingly, we find that for qubit-qutrit systems both of these peculiar features coexist, that is, we observe not only time-invariant entanglement for certain quantum states but we find also find evidence that many quantum states freeze their entanglement after decaying for some time. To our knowledge, the existance of both these phenomena for one dimension of Hilbert space is not found so far. All previous studies suggest that if there is freezing dynamics of entanglement, then there is no time-invariant entanglement and vice versa. In addition, we study local quantum uncertainity and other correlations for certain families of states and discuss the interesting dynamics. Our study is an extension of similar studies for qubit-qubit systems, qubit-qutrit, and multipartite quantum systems.

description: Objective: The ALSFRS-R is limited by multidimensionality, which originates from the summation of various subscales. This prevents a direct comparison between patients with identical total scores. We aim to evaluate how multidimensionality affects the performance of the ALSFRS-R in clinical trials. Methods: We simulated clinical trial data with different treatment effects for the ALSFRS-R total score and its subscales (i.e. bulbar, fine motor, gross motor and respiratory). We considered scenarios where treatment reduced the rate of ALSFRS-R subscale decline either uniformly (i.e. all subscales respond identically to treatment) or non-uniformly (i.e. subscales respond differently to treatment). Two main analytical strategies were compared: (1) analyzing only the total score or (2) utilizing a subscale-based test (i.e. alternative strategy). For each analytical strategy, we calculated the empirical power and required sample size. Results: Both strategies are valid when there is no treatment benefit and provide adequate control of type 1 error. If all subscales respond identically to treatment, using the total score is the most powerful approach. As the differences in treatment responses between subscales increase, the more the total score becomes affected. For example, to detect a 40% reduction in the bulbar rate of decline with 80% power, the total score requires 1380 patients, whereas this is 336 when using the alternative strategy. Conclusions: Ignoring the multidimensional structure of the ALSFRS-R total score could have negative consequences for ALS clinical trials. We propose determining treatment benefit on a subscale level, prior to stating whether a treatment is generally effective.
The Inverted Agricultural Economics Classroom: A new way to teach? A new way to learn?

description: The purpose of this paper is to introduce an emerging teaching method, the inverted classroom, to agricultural economists. The reader will learn the pros and cons of this method and the tools needed to create an inverted course. Data on student perceptions of the inverted classroom is presented, as well as an estimate of the relationship between student perceptions and student performance in an inverted classroom. The surveyed students responded positively to the inverted classroom concept; however it is unclear whether this method improved student learning outcomes compared to a traditional lecture classroom and there is very little evidence linking student perceptions to student performance.

description: Eleven flavonoids including one new flavonol glycoside, quercetin-3-O-(2-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl methyl ester (1), were isolated for the first time from the fruits of Phyllanthus acidus (L.) Skeels (Phyllanthaceae). Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data. The known flavonoids, quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide methyl ester (3), quercetin-3-O-(2''-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-6''-O-α-L-rhamno pyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), myricetin (9), and 6-methoxy-naringenin (11) were isolated for the first time from the genus Phyllanthus. Flavonoids 4, 6 and 9 (IC50 = 6.01, 6.32, and 7.84 μM, respectively) showed stronger α-glucosidase inhibitory activities than the positive control, acarbose (IC50 = 306.45 μM). The fruits of P. acidus might be further developed as an anti-diabetic food supplement.

description: We study a recently proposed gauge invariant, non-local pure gauge observable, which is equivalent to the gluon propagator in a certain gauge. The correlator describes a gluon coupled to static sources and decays with eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian, permitting a non-perturbative definition of a gluonic parton mass. Detailed numerical tests of the observable are performed in SU(2) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. In a Higgs model it reproduces the physical W-boson mass, while in a confining theory its non-local nature results in almost exclusive projection onto torelonic states. However, the gluon mass can also be related to the mass difference between the lowest gluelumps, i.e. gluon configurations bound to adjoint sources. Its value is computed in SU(2) pure gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions to be m_A=0.360(19)g^2, which plays an important role as "magnetic mass" of the four-dimensional theory at high temperatures. The same quantity is found to determine the mass splitting between vector and scalar mesons in the three-dimensional theory. In SU(3) pure gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions the corresponding gluelump splitting yields m_A\approx 370 MeV. Possible relations of this quantity with the QCD heavy meson spectrum are discussed.

description: In this study the effect of consumers’ trust in agencies on risk perceptions, risk attitudes and selfreported responses to food safety events is assessed. The particular focus is on how trust has influenced self-reported reductions in consumption of beef in the U.S. and Canada, and pork in Canada arising from food safety concerns. Data for this analysis was collected through online surveys and was analysed using tobit and probit models. Results show that general trust significantly influences risk perceptions and risk attitudes about beef and pork consumption in Canada and beef consumption in the U.S. Although there are some variations in results, trust in agencies significantly influence risk perceptions, risk attitudes and reductions in consumption of beef and pork in Canada and beef in the U.S. Compared to males, female respondents have higher risk perceptions and lower risk attitudes about beef and pork in Canada and beef in the U.S. and were more likely to reduce their pork consumption in Canada and beef in the U.S. Respondents that recalled a food safety event had higher risk perceptions and significantly reduced their meat consumption in both countries. Respondents that perceived the consumption of beef and pork as being risky reported that they had significantly reduced their consumption of these meats while those that were more willing to accept the risks of consuming these meats reported that they had not changed their consumption levels. Results suggest that risk perceptions, risk attitudes and trust play significant roles in terms of influencing consumer response to food safety concerns. The occurrence of food safety incidents in one period can influence consumer responses to later food safety incidents through the effect on changing risk perceptions, risk attitudes and trust in the food system.
Coexistence of high electrical conductivity and weak ferromagnetism in Cr doped Y$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ pyrochlore iridate

description: We report the structural, magnetic and electrical transport properties of Y$_2$Ir$_{2-x}$Cr$_x$O$_7$ pyrochlore iridates. The chemical doping leads to order of magnitude enhancement of electrical conductivity. The introduction of Cr3+ at Ir4+ site tends to distort the Ir-O6 octahedra and suppresses antiferromagnetic correlation. The X-ray photoemission spectroscopy measurements suggest the coexistence of Ir4+ and Ir5+ valence states in the Y$_2$Ir$_{2-x}$Cr$_x$O$_7$ compounds. The concentration of Ir5+ is enhanced with Cr doping, leading to weak ferromagnetism and enhanced electrical conductivity. A cluster-glass like transition is also observed at low temperature with Cr doping, possibly due to competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interaction.

description: We report magnetoconductivity measurements on YBa_2Cu_3O_x (x=6.25 and 6.36) single crystals. Our main result is that both the in-plane Delta_sigma_ab and out-of-plane Delta_sigma_c magnetoconductivities exhibit the field dependence characteristic of "two-dimensional" quantum interference in applied magnetic fields H parallel to the c-axis. Namely, Delta_sigma_c,ab are proportional to ln(H/H_0), with Delta_sigma_c/sigma_c substantially greater than Delta_sigma_ab/sigma_ab. We interpret this result as evidence of interlayer incoherence in these crystals, so that the phase-coherent trajectories are mostly confined to one bilayer.

description: A new variant of the Wolff cluster algorithm is proposed for simulating systems with competing interactions. This method is used in a high-precision study of the Lifshitz point of the 3D ANNNI model. At the Lifshitz point, several critical exponents are found and the anisotropic scaling of the correlators is verified. The functional form of the two-point correlators is shown to be consistent with the predictions of generalized conformal invariance.

description: Global warming has been an issue lately in many aspects because it has been in increasing trend since 1980s. This paper estimates the climate change effects on U.S. agriculture using the pooled cross-section farm profit model. The data are mainly based on the annual Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) from USDA for the time period between 2000 and 2009 in the 48 contiguous States. For climate measure, growing season drought indices (the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and Crop Moisture Index (CMI)) are applied to the analysis and both indices have a negative relationship with temperature. The estimates indicate that one unit increase in PDSI (CMI) leads to 5.5% (13.9%), 4% (9%), and 5% (14%) increase in farm profits for all farms, crop farms, and livestock farms. This paper provides several contributions to the literature. First, the data set is very rare and unique national survey that provides an individual farm level observation. Therefore, it gives more detailed farm structure and financial information for the analysis compared to other studies. Second, drought indices (PDSI and CMI) are used for estimating the impact of weather on farm profits while temperature, precipitation, and growing degree-days are typical weather variables in literatures.

description: Background: Trauma especially head trauma is considered a potential risk factor of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but their association has not been well established. We aimed to determine the association of prior trauma with ALS risk. Methods: This study was performed according to the Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guideline to assess related literatures, and a random-effects model was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Twenty-nine eligible articles involving 18,390 cases and 6,519,391 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that trauma was associated with an increased risk of ALS (pooled OR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.32–1.73). Besides, patients with trunk trauma, head trauma and lower limb trauma had an increased risk of ALS, whereas no evidence suggested that upper limb trauma and spine trauma could increase ALS risk. Considering the number of traumatic events, the association between trauma and ALS risk was significant for patients with repeated trauma events (pooled OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.07–1.38). The results showed that individuals with a history of trauma within 5 years were more likely to be diagnosed with ALS (pooled OR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.56–2.17). Importantly, both old trauma and very old trauma were found to be associated with an increased risk of ALS (pooled OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.12–1.38; pooled OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.10–1.49; respectively). Conclusions: This meta-analysis indicated that trauma could increase ALS risk, which may be applied for the clinicians to tailor targeted treatment regimens and make prophylactic strategies for ALS in traumatic patients.

description: By proving the existence of non-monotone and non-oscillating wavefronts for the Nicholson's blowflies diffusive equation (the NDE), we answer an open question raised in [16]. Surprisingly, these wavefronts can be observed only for sufficiently small delays. Similarly to the pushed fronts, obtained waves are not linearly determined. In contrast, a broader family of eventually monotone wavefronts for the NDE is indeed determined by properties of the spectra of the linearized equations. Our proofs use essentially several specific characteristics of the blowflies birth function (its unimodal form and the negativity of its Schwarz derivative, among others). One of the key auxiliary results of the paper shows that the Mallet-Paret--Cao--Arino theory of super-exponential solutions for scalar equations can be extended for some classes of second order delay differential equations. For the new type of non-monotone waves to the NDE, our numerical simulations also confirm their stability properties established by Mei et al.
