description: Alphitobius diaperinus is an important pathogen with worldwide distribution that causes severe economic loss of efficiency in broilers. This study evaluates the potential of organic extracts of two strains entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (CG71 and UNI40) as a biocontrol agent on A. diaperinus and promotes the phytochemical investigation. The effective percentages of mortalities were 95.97% (UNI40 methanolic extract), 69.23, 64.64, and 50.39% (CG 71 methanolic, ethyl acetate and butanol extracts). However, there was a decrease in the lesser mealworms susceptibility in relation to the use of insecticides and extracts. The metabolites 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furanoic acid, dipicolinic acid and monomethyl dipicolinate were isolated from ethyl acetate extract, and β-adenosine of butanolic extract of B. bassiana CG 71. In addition, the cyclodepsipeptides were identified in methanolic extracts of the two strains. The insecticide activity results indicated that the B. bassiana extracts are an alternative to A. diaperinus control.

description: This paper examines legal rules covering protection of corporate shareholders and creditors, the origin of these rules, and the quality of their enforcement in 49 countries. The results show that common law countries generally have the best, and French civil law countries the worst, legal protections of investors, with German and Scandinavian civil law countries located in the middle. We also find that concentration of ownership of shares in the largest public companies is negatively related to investor protections, consistent with the hypothesis that small, diversified shareholders are unlikely to be important in countries that fail to protect their rights.

description: This study was conducted to determine the effect of ensiling on the nutritive value of partial crop field peas. The field peas were harvested with approximately 500 g dry matter (DM) at a cutting height of 25 cm and ensiled without previous wilting or use of inoculants. In vitro gas production kinetics were determined in ruminal fluid batch cultures. The apparent total tract digestibility of crude nutrients, detergent fibers and gross energy and the content of metabolizable energy and net energy lactation of native and ensiled peas was determined in a digestibility trial with wethers. Microbial nitrogen efficiency was calculated on the basis of allantoin excreted via the urine. The pea silage was characterized by a low pH (4.1) and contained relevant quantities of lactic acid (56.3 g/kg DM) and acetic acid (16.8 g/kg DM). The proportions of crude protein, starch and nitrogen-free extracts were slightly increased in the silage, while the concentrations of fiber fractions decreased. Soluble protein was increased in the silage from 56% to 66% of crude protein due to increasing non-protein nitrogen concentrations. Gas production was higher in ensiled than in native peas (P < 0.001). Apparent digestibility of crude protein and acid ether extract increased in the silage by 3% and 10% points, respectively. Digestibility of crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber decreased by 9%, 6% and 5% points, respectively (P < 0.05). The contents of metabolizable energy and net energy lactation increased by 0.5 and 0.3 MJ/kg DM, respectively (P < 0.05). The microbial nitrogen efficiency tended to be higher in animals that received ensiled partial crop peas (P > 0.05), but strongly depended on individual excretion quantities. In conclusion, ensiling of partial crop field peas with approximately 500 g DM/kg at harvest led to well conserved feed with increased concentrations of nutrients and content of energy.

description: The final purpose of this paper is to show that, by inserting a convexity constraint on the cables of a suspension bridge, the torsional instability of the deck appears at lower energy thresholds. Since this constraint is suggested by the behavior of real cables, this model appears more reliable than the classical ones. Moreover, it has the advantage to reduce to two the number of degrees of freedom (DOF), avoiding to introduce the slackening mechanism of the hangers. The drawback is that the resulting energy functional is extremely complicated, involving the convexification of unknown functions. This paper is divided in two main parts. The first part is devoted to the study of these functionals, through classical methods of calculus of variations. The second part applies this study to the suspension bridge model with convexified cables.

description: We propose a method for constructing super-brane actions where every background tensor potential corresponds to a world-volume field strength. The procedure provides a natural coupling to the background and automatically displays the SL(2;Z) symmetry of the IIB string theory. The Dirichlet 3-brane is used as a test ground for these ideas. A polynomial action consistent with non-linear self-duality is presented. Invariance of the action under kappa-symmetry is demonstrated for arbitrary on-shell type IIB supergravity backgrounds and is shown to require self-duality.

description: Introduction Delirium is one of the most common forms of acute cerebral dysfunction in critically ill children leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Prevention, identification and management of delirium is an important part of paediatric and neonatological intensive care. This scoping review aims to identify and map evidence on non-pharmacological interventions for paediatric delirium prevention and management in paediatric and neonatal intensive care settings. - Methods and analysis This scoping review will be conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Searches will be performed in the databases Medline (via PubMed), CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Ovid (Journals), EMBASE and Web of Science (01/2000-current). Two reviewers will independently review retrieved studies, and relevant information will be extracted using data extraction forms. The results will be presented in tabular format and accompanied by a narrative summary. - Inclusion criteria The review will include references that describe or evaluate non-pharmacological interventions to prevent or manage paediatric delirium. Conference abstracts, editorials, opinion papers and grey literature will be excluded. - Ethics and dissemination Due to the nature of research involving humans or unpublished secondary data, approval of an ethics committee are not required. The dissemination of findings is planned via professional networks and publication in an open-access scientific journal.

description: Analysis of an antimicrobial culture broth extract of the sponge-derived actinomycete Streptomyces sp. (strain G246) led to the isolation of two new lavandulylated flavonoids, 6-lavandulyl-7-methoxy-5,2′,4′-trihydroxylflavanone (1) and 5′-lavandulyl-4′-methoxy-2,4,2′,6′-tetrahydroxylchalcone (2), along with eight known compounds 3–10. Their structures were established by spectral data analysis, including MS, 1D, 2D-NMR and CD. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were suggested by comparison of their experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against a panel of clinically significant microorganisms. Compounds 1 and 2 had a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Additionally, except the strain Escherichia coli, compound 2 exhibited remarkable inhibitory activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Candida albicans strains.

description: The control over the structural homogeneity is of paramount importance for ternary nitride compounds - the second most important semiconducting material-class after Si, due to its unrivalled applicability in optoelectronics, and high power/high frequency electronics. Therefore it is timely to investigate possible mechanisms influencing the crystallographic constitution of the material. In this work the diffusion mechanism of manganese in gallium nitride is investigated in two types of epilayers: Mn implanted metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy grown GaN and (Ga,Mn)N solid solution grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The extent of the Mn diffusion is established by secondary ion mass spectrometry. Analysis of the Mn profiles in the implanted samples in the frame of the infinite source diffusion led to the establishment for the first time of the pre-exponential factor DO = 2x10-4 cm2/s and diffusion activation energy EA = 1.8 eV describing the diffusion coefficient of Mn in GaN. Modelling of the out-diffusion of Mn from (Ga,Mn)N layers based on these values in turn allows to provide an explanation of the origin of the ubiquitously observed near-the-surface sizable depletion of Mn in (Ga,Mn)N, resulting from the blocking of the Mn out-diffusion by Mn-oxide and the correspondingly formed space-charge layer on the surface.

description: Detailed analysis of phenolic composition and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Verbascum glabratum subsp. bosnense (K. Malý) Murb., an endemic species of southeastern Dinaric Alps was performed for the first time. The phenolic composition measured via UHPLC-MS/MS of four extract with different polarity suggested this plant species is very rich in both phenolic acids and flavonoids. Ethanol extract was chemically the most versatile containing 12 compounds with quercitrin and rosmarinic acid as the majors, while water extracts were rich in 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, salicylic acid, morin, and apigenin. All extracts showed high antioxidant potential measured spectrophotometrically with IC50 values ranging 0.139 - 0.021 mg/mL. Antimicrobial testing using agar diffusion test showed that ethanol extract was the most potent against all tested organisms. Also, these activities are correlated with the content of phenolic compounds, which suggest they are active ingredients of the extracts.

description: Exclusive semileptonic B decays to radially excited charmed mesons are investigated at the first order of the heavy quark expansion. The arising leading and subleading Isgur-Wise functions are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model. It is found that the 1/m_Q corrections play an important role and substantially modify results. An interesting interplay between different corrections is found. As a result the branching ratio for the B-> D'eνdecay is essentially increased by 1/m_Q corrections, while the one for B-> D*'eνis only slightly influenced by them.

description: We report a Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) survey for associated HI 21-cm absorption from 50 active galactic nuclei (AGNs), at $z \approx 0.04 - 3.01$, selected from the Caltech-Jodrell Bank Flat-spectrum (CJF) sample. Clean spectra were obtained towards 40 sources, yielding two new absorption detections, at $z = 0.229$ towards TXS 0003+380 and $z = 0.333$ towards TXS 1456+375, besides confirming an earlier detection, at $z = 1.277$ towards TXS 1543+480. There are 92 CJF sources, at $0.01 \lesssim z \lesssim 3.6$, with searches for associated HI 21-cm absorption, by far the largest uniformly-selected AGN sample with searches for such absorption. We find weak ($\approx 2σ$) evidence for a lower detection rate of HI 21-cm absorption at high redshifts, with detection rates of $28^{+10}_{-8}$\% and $7^{+6}_{-4}$\% in the low-$z$ ($z < z_{\rm med}$) and high-$z$ ($z > z_{\rm med}$) sub-samples, respectively. We use two-sample tests to find that the strength of the HI 21-cm absorption in the AGNs of our sample depends on both redshift and AGN luminosity, with a lower detection rate and weaker absorption at high redshifts and high ultraviolet/radio AGN luminosities. Unfortunately, the luminosity bias in our sample, with high-luminosity AGNs arising at high redshifts, implies that it is not currently possible to identify whether redshift evolution or AGN luminosity is the primary cause of the weaker absorption in high-$z$, high-luminosity AGNs. We find that the strength of HI 21-cm absorption does not depend on AGN colour, suggesting that dust extinction is not the main cause of reddening in the CJF sample.

description: We give an overview of recent progress in the study of fermion mass and flavor mixing phenomena. The hints exhibited by the quark and lepton mass spectra towards possible underlying flavor symmetries, from which realistic models of mass generation could be built, are emphasized. A variety of schemes of quark mass matrices at low and superhigh energy scales are described, and their consequences on flavor mixing and CP violation are discussed. Instructive patterns of lepton mass matrices, which can naturally lead to large flavor mixing angles, are explored to interpret current data on atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. We expect that B-meson factories and long-baseline neutrino experiments will soon shed more light on the dynamics of fermion masses, flavor mixing and CP violation.

description: A new class of model-based filters for extracting trends and cycles in economic time series is presented. These low pass and band pass filters are derived in a mutually consistent manner as the joint solution to a signal extraction problem in an unobserved components model. The resulting trends and cycles are computed in finite samples using a Kalman filter and associated smoother. The filters form a class which is a generalisation of the class of Butterworth filters, widely used in engineering. They are very flexible and have the important property of allowing relatively smooth cycles to be extracted from economic time series. Perfectly sharp, or ideal, band pass filters emerge as a special case. Applying the method to a quarterly series on US investment shows a clearly defined cycle currently at the peak of a boom.

description: This paper sets out to address the issue of equity duration, one of several risk measures available for asset and liability management. Equity duration, as derived from the use of traditional dividend discount models, results in extremely long duration estimated for equities - often in excess of 50 years for growth stocks. Leibowitz, in his seminal paper (1986), identified an alternative framework for assessing equity duration empirically. This methodology yields equity duration measures more consistent with the experience of practitioners, implying that equities behave as if they are much shorter duration instruments. In our paper, based on an application to UK data, we develop the intuition behind the Leibowitz approach to generate equity duration as a by-product of asset pricing, Our analysis suggests that the equity premium puzzle may comprise an important element in reconciling the Leibowitz approach to equity duration, with the more traditional dividend discount model alternative.

description: Farmers and farm organizations have fought for economic equality in terms of parity prices and incomes for two decades. Today, when both the general principle and our current ways of calculating parities are generally accepted, is no time to desert what we have struggled for overall these years. For this reason the current discussions of the parity principle and methods of calculating and measuring parity are especially significant. Farmers have long felt that their incomes or standards of living are not comparable to the advantages and standards of living enjoyed by the nonagricultural group. And since the Civil War, certainly, farmers have made many efforts to obtain legislation that would give them a more even break. But the roots of our present parity concept lie chiefly in the events of the last World War and in the depression that immediately followed it.

description: This paper uses the complexity of non-competitive behaviour to provide a new justification for competitive equilibrium in the context of extensive-form market games with a finite number of agents. This paper demonstrates that if rational agents have (at least at the margin) an aversion for complex behaviours then their maximizing behaviour will result in simple behavioural rules and thereby in a perfectly competitive outcome. In particular, we consider sequential market games with heterogeneous sets of buyers and sellers and show that if the complexity costs of implementing strategies enter players� preferences, together with the standard payoff in the game, then every equilibrium strategy profile induces a competitive outcome. This is done for sequential deterministic matching/bargaining models in which at any date either the identities of the matched players are determined exogenously or one player is exogenously selected to choose his partner and make a price proposal.

description: We consider the compactification of M theory on a light-like circle as a limit of a compactification on a small spatial circle boosted by a large amount. Assuming that the compactification on a small spatial circle is weakly coupled type IIA theory, we derive Susskind's conjecture that M theory compactified on a light-like circle is given by the finite $N$ version of the Matrix model of Banks, Fischler, Shenker and Susskind. This point of view provides a uniform derivation of the Matrix model for M theory compactified on a transverse torus $T^p$ for $p=0,...,5$ and clarifies the difficulties for larger values of $p$.

description: We study empirically the relationship between ownership of firms and institutional environment in transition and developing economies by examining China's rural non-farm sector, which consists of both private enterprises and community government-run enterprises (known as township-village enterprises, or TVEs). We found that all the variables related to the legacy of planning favor TVE ownership, and all the variables related to market-oriented reforms and market development encourage private ownership. We also found that TVEs help increase the revenue shares of state and community governments, as well as rural non-farm employment and income. However, their effect on rural income is insignificant given the level of non-farm employment.

description: Bayesian statistical methods are naturally oriented towards pooling in a rigorous way information from separate sources. It has been suggested that both historical and implied volatilities convey information about future volatility. However, typically in the literature implied and return volatility series are fed separately into models to provide rival forecasts of volatility or options prices. We develop a formal Bayesian framework where we can merge the backward looking information as represented in historical daily return data with the forward looking information as represented in implied volatilities of reported options prices. We apply our theory in forecasting the prices of FTSE 100 European Index options. We find that for forecasting options prices out of sample (i.e. one-day ahead) our Bayesian estimators outperform standard forecasts that use implied or historical volatilities. We find no evidence to suggest that standard procedures using implied volatility estimates are redundant in explaining market options prices.

description: A phytochemical investigation on the stems of Mappianthus iodoides led to the isolation of a new naturally occurring prenylated isoflavone, mappianthone A (1), together with seven known analogues (2−8). The structure of 1 was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods and the known compounds were identified by comparison with data reported in the literature. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activities against five human cancer cell lines: HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7 and SW480 in vitro. Compounds 1−8 showed significant antiproliferative effects against several human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 0.16 to 12.68 μM.

Modified critical correlations close to modulated and rough surfaces

description: Correlation functions are sensitive to the presence of a boundary. Surface modulations give rise to modified near surface correlations, which can be measured by scattering probes. To determine these correlations, we develop a perturbative calculation in deformations in height from a flat surface. The results, combined with a renormalization group around four dimensions, are also used to predict critical behavior near a self-affinely rough surface. We find that a large enough roughness exponent can modify surface critical behavior.

3D Human Action Recognition with Siamese-LSTM Based Deep Metric Learning

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper proposes a new 3D Human Action Recognition system as a two-phase system: (1) Deep Metric Learning Module which learns a similarity metric between two 3D joint sequences using Siamese-LSTM networks; (2) A Multiclass Classification Module that uses the output of the first module to produce the final recognition output. This model has several advantages: the first module is trained with a larger set of data because it uses many combinations of sequence pairs.Our deep metric learning module can also be trained independently of the datasets, which makes our system modular and generalizable. We tested the proposed system on standard and newly introduced datasets that showed us that initial results are promising. We will continue developing this system by adding more sophisticated LSTM blocks and by cross-training between different datasets.

description: Studies of compensating discrimination (known in the U.S. as affirmative action) have not accounted for the role of envy. Yet envy affects utility. I consider the compensatingdiscrimination policies that individuals acknowledging envy would choose when behind a veil of ignorance. The institutional background for my study is India, where low castes have been provided with preferential access to public education and reserved public sector jobs. Although the Indian case is background, the conclusions apply more generally. I define envy as occurring when people with the same abilities have different incomes because of unequal education and employment opportunities. This is the case when, because of adverse discrimination, low-caste people are denied access to education and public-sector jobs, and also when, because of compensating discrimination, it is high-caste people who are correspondingly denied equal access. A benchmark case with neither adverse nor discriminatory discrimination is efficient and equitable (envy-free). Adverse and compensating discrimination both compromise efficiency and fairness. I derive the conditions that determine attitudes of a population behind the veil of ignorance to compensatingdiscrimination policies.

description: Momentum resolved photoemission spectroscopy indicates the instability of the Dirac surface state upon deposition of gold on the (0001) surface of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$. Based on the structure model derived from extended x-ray absorption fine structure experiments showing that gold atoms substitute bismuth atoms, first principles calculations provide evidence that a gap appears due to hybridization of the surface state with gold d-states near the Fermi level. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms affecting the stability of the surface state.

Divorce Property Division Laws and the Decision to Marry or Cohabitate

description: This paper presents a model of the choice between marriage and cohabitation for a couple who have decided to form a relationship. The model is used to analyse the implications of changing from a title based division of property on divorce to an equal sharing regime. There are two opposing effects. In line with popular expectations, the change to an equal sharing regime prevents some wealthy individuals from marrying since they risk losing half of their assets in the event of divorce. Offsetting this, the equal sharing property division regime enables cooperative investments to be made in marriage, and so increases the value of marriage relative to cohabitation for some couples. Overall the impact on the marriage rate is ambiguous, although the rate is most likely to increase where it is more difficult to make cooperative investments due to unilateral divorce laws, and where couples are more similar to each other, reducing their cost of divorce.
Instructional touch : the organisation of a close and closed interaction space for individualised instruction in 'open classrooms'

description: The article focuses on the use of touch, in concert with body and talk, as a resource for the organisation of teacher instruction in the context of individualised learning in ‘open classrooms’ in German primary schools. Drawing on video observations of naturally occurring interactions between teachers and students in one such school, we analyse what is specific to teachers' instructional practices in open classrooms, a setting where each student is typically occupied with his or her individual task. The analysis reveals two aspects of using touch that play an important role in the instructional practices of teachers as they control, guide, and support students working individually on their learning tasks: the use of touch as a resource for establishing and closing a local interaction space and the use of touch as an instructional resource. The embodied characteristics of this kind of individualised instruction presuppose and commit the participants to rather close bodily contact and ‘nested formations’ that are different from the teacher-fronted activities of the cohort teaching format.
Non-perturbative computation of gluon mini-jet production in nuclear collisions at very high energies

description: At very high energies, in the infinite momentum frame and in light cone gauge, a hard scale proportional to the high parton density arises in QCD. In an effective theory of QCD at small $x$, this scale is of order $α_Sμ$, where $μ$ is simply related to the gluon density at higher rapidities. The ab initio real time evolution of small $x$ modes in a nuclear collision can be described consistently in the classical effective theory and various features of interest can be studied non-perturbatively. In this paper, we discuss results from a real time lattice computation of the production of gluon jets at very high energies. At very large transverse momenta, $k_t\geq μ$, our results match the predictions from pQCD based mini-jet calculations. Novel non-perturbative behaviour of the small $x$ modes is seen at smaller momenta $k_t\sim α_Sμ$. Gauge invariant energy-energy correlators are used to estimate energy distributions evolving in proper time.

description: Analysis of an antimicrobial culture broth extract of the sponge-derived actinomycete Streptomyces sp. (strain G246) led to the isolation of two new lavandulylated flavonoids, 6-lavandulyl-7-methoxy-5,2′,4′-trihydroxylflavanone (1) and 5′-lavandulyl-4′-methoxy-2,4,2′,6′-tetrahydroxylchalcone (2), along with eight known compounds 3–10. Their structures were established by spectral data analysis, including MS, 1D, 2D-NMR and CD. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were suggested by comparison of their experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against a panel of clinically significant microorganisms. Compounds 1 and 2 had a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Additionally, except the strain Escherichia coli, compound 2 exhibited remarkable inhibitory activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Candida albicans strains.
