description: Capsule: The introduced Red-billed Leiothrix Leiothrix lutea can greatly expand its range in Italy, with many regions being at high risk of invasion due to their high habitat suitability. Aims: To assess the environmental variables affecting the distribution of the Red-billed Leiothrix during the invasion process, and to predict the potential distribution of the species in Italy. Methods: We retrieved data on 548 occurrences from Liguria (northern Italy), Tuscany, and Latium (Central Italy) using the Ornitho.it portal, a citizen science-based resource. We used species distribution models to assess the most important climatic and landscape variables for the presence of the species and to generate a countrywide habitat suitability map. Results: Red-billed Leiothrix distribution was jointly affected by climatic and landscape variables, being related to precipitation seasonality, percentage cover of agricultural areas, and annual precipitation. Habitat suitability for the species was highest at intermediate levels of precipitation seasonality, decreased with the amount of agricultural areas, and increased with annual precipitation. The results of species distribution models were highly consistent across regions. The areas with the highest suitability for the species occurred in a strip spanning the northern and western sides of Italy, particularly in regions with a Mediterranean climate. Conclusion: Broad areas of Italy have a high risk of invasion by the Red-billed Leiothrix. We provide fine-grained information on the magnitude of habitat suitability over the Italian peninsula.

description: The cornerstone of computational drug design is the calculation of binding affinity between two biological counterparts, especially a chemical compound, i.e., a ligand, and a protein. Predicting the strength of protein-ligand binding with reasonable accuracy is critical for drug discovery. In this paper, we propose a data-driven framework named DeepAtom to accurately predict the protein-ligand binding affinity. With 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) architecture, DeepAtom could automatically extract binding related atomic interaction patterns from the voxelized complex structure. Compared with the other CNN based approaches, our light-weight model design effectively improves the model representational capacity, even with the limited available training data. With validation experiments on the PDBbind v.2016 benchmark and the independent Astex Diverse Set, we demonstrate that the less feature engineering dependent DeepAtom approach consistently outperforms the other state-of-the-art scoring methods. We also compile and propose a new benchmark dataset to further improve the model performances. With the new dataset as training input, DeepAtom achieves Pearson's R=0.83 and RMSE=1.23 pK units on the PDBbind v.2016 core set. The promising results demonstrate that DeepAtom models can be potentially adopted in computational drug development protocols such as molecular docking and virtual screening.

Star Formation and X-ray Emission in Distant Star Forming Galaxies

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: About 45% of the point sources detected in the 2 Ms Chandra exposure of the HDF-N can be matched with moderately bright galaxies with z<1.4 that have been studied by the Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey. Although the optical spectra of these galaxies appear normal, based on their X-ray properties ~20% of them appear to contain weak AGNs. More than 90% of the X-ray photons detected by Chandra from galaxies within the redshift regime 0.4 < z < 1.1 are powered by accretion onto massive black holes. For the sample of galaxies in common, we use their emitted luminosity in the 3727 A line of [OII] to estimate their star formation rate (SFR). The X-ray emitting galaxies are not those with the highest rest frame equivalent width in this emission line, but rather are among those with the highest SFR. With SFR corrected for inclination effects, the distant galaxies show a L(X) -- SFR relationship that is comparable to that of local galaxies. The HDF sample has a significantly higher median SFR and median SFR/galaxy stellar mass than does a sample of local star forming galaxies. We demonstrate that the observed SFR for most of the galaxies at z~1 in the HDF sample, if maintained as constant over their ages, suffices to produce the stellar mass observed in these galaxies. A rise in SFR at still earlier times is not required. We provide further evidence to support the conclusion that, once AGNs are eliminated, X-ray emission in these distantstar forming galaxies is related to the SFR through the same physical mechanisms that prevail locally.

description: There is increasing interest in materials that combine energy-storing functions with augmented mechanical properties, ranging from flexibility in bending to stretchability to structural properties. In the case of lithium-ion batteries, these mechanical functions could enable their integration in emerging technologies such as wearable, free-form electronics and ultimately as structural elements, for example, in transport applications. This work presents a method to produce flexible LiFePO4 LFP electrodes with an extraordinary combination of electrochemical and mechanical performance. Such electrodes exhibit an exceptionally high specific toughness, combined with superior rate capability and energy density, with respect to reference electrodes with typical metallic current collectors. These properties are a result of the strong adhesion of the active material particles to the high surface area carbon nanotube fiber fabric, used as a lightweight, tough, and highly conducting current collector. This strong adherence minimizes electrical resistance, mitigates interfacial failure, and increases ductility through heterogeneous strain after cohesive failure of the inorganic phase. As a result, these electrodes can withstand large deformations before fracture, and, even after fracture, they retain excellent electrochemical performance, approximately double that of unstretched, Al-supported LFP electrodes with equivalent loading.

description: Virtual links are generalizations of classical links that can be represented by links embedded in a ``thickened'' surface $Σ\times I$, product of a Riemann surface of genus $h$ with an interval. In this paper, we show that virtual alternating links and tangles are naturally associated with the $1/N^2$ expansion of an integral over $N\times N$ complex matrices. We suggest that it is sufficient to count the equivalence classes of these diagrams modulo ordinary (planar) flypes. To test this hypothesis, we use an algorithm coding the corresponding Feynman diagrams by means of permutations that generates virtual diagrams up to 6 crossings and computes various invariants. Under this hypothesis, we use known results on matrix integrals to get the generating functions of virtual alternating tangles of genus 1 to 5 up to order 10 (i.e.\ 10 real crossings). The asymptotic behavior for $n$ large of the numbers of links and tangles of genus $h$ and with $n$ crossings is also computed for $h=1,2,3$ and conjectured for general $h$.

description: This paper formulates the problem of building a context-aware predictive model based on user diverse behavioral activities with smartphones. In the area of machine learning and data science, a tree-like model as that of decision tree is considered as one of the most popular classification techniques, which can be used to build a data-driven predictive model. The traditional decision tree model typically creates a number of leaf nodes as decision nodes that represent context-specific rigid decisions, and consequently may cause overfitting problem in behavior modeling. However, in many practical scenarios within the context-aware environment, the generalized outcomes could play an important role to effectively capture user behavior. In this paper, we propose a behavioral decision tree, "BehavDT" context-aware model that takes into account user behavior-oriented generalization according to individual preference level. The BehavDT model outputs not only the generalized decisions but also the context-specific decisions in relevant exceptional cases. The effectiveness of our BehavDT model is studied by conducting experiments on individual user real smartphone datasets. Our experimental results show that the proposed BehavDT context-aware model is more effective when compared with the traditional machine learning approaches, in predicting user diverse behaviors considering multi-dimensional contexts.

description: Observations of Epsilon UMa obtained with the star tracker on the Wide Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) satellite during a month in mid-2000 are analyzed. This is one of the most precise photometry of an Ap star. The amplitude spectrum is used to set an upper limit of 75 parts per million for the amplitude of stellar pulsations in this star unless it accidentally oscillates with a single mode at the satellite orbit, its harmonics or their one day aliases. This is the tightest limit put on the amplitude of oscillations in an Ap star. As the rotation period of Epsilon UMa is relatively short (5.1 d), it cannot be argued that the observations were made at a wrong rotational phase. Our results thus support the idea that some Ap stars do not pulsate at all.

description: An experiment that involves two distant mesoscopic SQUID rings is studied. The superconducting rings are irradiated with correlated photons, which are produced by a single microwave source. Classically correlated (separable) and quantum mechanically correlated (entangled) microwaves are considered, and their effect on the Josephson currents is quantified. It is shown that the currents tunnelling through the Josephson junctions in the distant rings, are correlated.

description: This review summarizes progress on structural composites with carbon nanotube fibres. It starts by analyzing their development towards a macroscopic ensemble of elongated and aligned crystalline domains, alongside the evolution of the structure of traditional high-performance fibres. Literature on tensile properties suggests that there are two emerging grades: highly aligned fibres spun from liquid crystalline solutions, with high modulus and strength, and spun from aerogels of ultra long-nanotubes, combining high strength and fracture energy. The fabrication of large unidirectional fabrics with similar properties as the fibres is presently a challenge, which CNT alignment remaining a key factor. A promising approach is to produce fabrics directly from aerogel filaments without having to densify and handle individual CNT fibres. Structural composites of CNT fibres have reached high longitudinal properties, however, on relatively small samples. In general, there is need to demonstrate fabrication of large CNT fibre laminate composites using standard fabrication routes and to study longitudinal and transverse mechanical properties in tension and compression. Complementary areas of development are interlaminar reinforcement with CNT fabric interleaves, and multifunctional structural composites with energy storage or harvesting functions.

description: The question we wanted to address is what kind of label is most effective in changing people’s decision-making when choosing between tea and coffee? This would provide us with useful insight into what specific elements on environmentally-friendly labels ignited consumers to choose tea over coffee. Our study featured a survey, where it first asks whether the respondent is a coffee or tea drinker. In order to obtain participants, we utilized a snowball-sampling method, where we reached out and shared the survey with our peers through online chat groups and requested them to share our survey with their peers. We ended up having 153 participants. They were randomly placed in conditions consisting of labels that evoke personal feelings regarding climate change, a sense of belonging to the college community, and a checklist of the environmental benefits of drinking tea. We hypothesized that the checklist condition would be the most successful in convincing participants to select tea. In the end, our hypothesis was supported by the findings from the survey.

Upon addition of CN− ion into the solution containing the receptor, a color change visible to the naked eye was observed from yellow to colourless and also, the fluorescence of the solution was immediately quenched. Moreover, DMP-3H exhibited a selective response to cyanide ion overmany other anions such as F−, Cl−, Br−, I−, SO2−3 , OCN−, ClO−3 , CO2−3 , IO−3 , N−3 , C2O2−4 and SCN−. Thedetection limit toward CN− was 8.1 × 10−7 mol.L−1, which is satisfactory enough for monitoring CN− levels in physiological and environmental systems.

description: Recent research indicates that climate change would increase the risk of productivity loss in sorghum crop in India. This study estimates the impact of climate change on yield sensitivity and documents the adaptation strategies in sorghum production in Tamil Nadu. Here, we first use panel regression with fixed effects model to estimate the impacts of climate variables on yield responses using data from 1971 to 2010. These estimates are then used to examine the future yield sensitivities using the projected climate variables from Regional Climate Model (RegCM4). At last, we use primary survey to document adaptation strategies at farm level. Results show a quadratic relationship between climate variables and yield i.e. as temperature and rainfall increase, crop yield initially increases up to a threshold level, and then decreases. RegCM4 model results indicated that increase in temperature and rainfall anomalies would continue in the future, which could result in a 9 percent loss in sorghum yield. Adaptation strategies such as soil and water conservation, mixed crops and adoption of drought tolerant varieties were widely practiced at farm level. This call for research investments and extension efforts are to be intensified to adopt above strategies to combat the vagaries of climate.

En este trabajo se muestran estas posibilidades de variación en el motivo el protagonista pasea, su apertura en la significación, la forma en que varía discursivamente y las posibilidades de uso según el tema de la historia del romance. Hay que señalar que se trata de un motivo presente en un enorme número de versiones de distintos romances.

description: Economic fish and aquaculture modelling is still at the beginning. The lack of a comprehensive and consistent data set for the production and trade of fish and other fishery products has restrained the modelling attempts so far. Here we show a methodology for filling the present data gaps and for overcoming existent inconsistencies to create a database that may support modelling of the fish sector, illustrated at the case of the fish module in the CAPRI model. We avoid double counting with respect to fishmeal and fish oil production and trade by disentangling the available data from key statistical sources relying on a minimization of normalized least squares. The presented data correction procedure and the resulting database may furthermore be of value for other models of global fish markets. The impact of the data correction procedure is demonstrated for the most relevant fish and fishery products producing and trading countries, comparing the resulting consolidated to the initial data.
The Fulling-Unruh effect in general stationary accelerated frames

description: We study the generalized Unruh effect for accelerated reference frames that include rotation in addition to acceleration. We focus particularly on the case where the motion is planar, with presence of a static limit in addition to the event horizon. Possible definitions of an accelerated vacuum state are examined and the interpretation of the Minkowski vacuum state as a thermodynamic state is discussed. Such athermodynamic state is shown to depend on two parameters, the acceleration temperature and a drift velocity, which are determined by the acceleration and angular velocity of the accelerated frame. We relate the properties of Minkowski vacuum in the accelerated frame to the excitation spectrum of a detector that is stationary in this frame. The detector can be excited both by absorbing positive energy quanta in the "hot" vacuum state and by emitting negative energy quanta into the "ergosphere" between the horizon and the static limit. The effects are related to similar effects in the gravitational field of a rotating black hole.

description: Introduced in the sixteenth century in Brazil, the sugarcane crop was and remains important for national economic growth, raising different regions over time. Thus, this study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of sugarcane in Brazil, through the spatial convergence of land productivity of this crop in the micro-regional level, between the years 1980 and 2010. Results show the existence of spatial β convergence for the proposed period. With velocities and convergence rates considered moderate, it is expected to reduce the regional disparity in sugarcane planting in the long term.
Proximal Gradient methods with Adaptive Subspace Sampling

description: Many applications in machine learning or signal processing involve nonsmooth optimization problems. This nonsmoothness brings a low-dimensional structure to the optimal solutions. In this paper, we propose a randomized proximal gradient method harnessing this underlying structure. We introduce two key components: i) a random subspace proximal gradient algorithm; ii) an identification-based sampling of the subspaces. Their interplay brings a significant performance improvement on typical learning problems in terms of dimensions explored.

description: Objective: To examine lymphoma subtypes, clinical characteristics, and gender differences in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and lymphoma in a population-based setting. Method: Patients with Sjögren’s syndrome and lymphoma diagnoses were identified by linkage of the Swedish Patient Register 1964–2007 with the Cancer Register 1990–2007. Clinical data were collected from medical records and lymphoma tissues were re-examined. The lymphoma subtype distribution was compared with the Swedish Lymphoma Register. Results: We identified 105 pSS patients with lymphoma. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (32%) and marginal zone lymphoma [MZL including mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma] (31%) were the most common lymphoma subtypes. The proportion of DLBCL was not increased compared to the general population reference (32%, p = 1), in contrast to MZL (general population 5%, p Conclusion: DLBCL and MZL are common in pSS patients, but only MZL/MALT lymphoma occurs at an increased relative frequency in pSS compared to the general population. The study supports increased awareness of signs of lymphoma in men in the first years after pSS diagnosis.

title: "Adults participating in learning"
Creators: name: West, Linden Reginald
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: This thesis explores the theme of adults participating in learning with reference to social groups who are largely absent from adult education. This is done by refining four propositions through a literature review and some case studies. The first proposition is based on the idea that participation should be understood within the context of a person or group's general pattern of social participation while the second relates the development of learning to an individual or group's belief that control over significant events is possible. The third proposition focuses on the content of learning and that this should consist of reflection and action on social constraints to personal wellbeing. The final proposition examines the suggestion that learning is enriched when participants control what is done. These ideas have been neglected in the literature although there is evidence that participation in learning is best analysed as an element within social class relationships. The case studies involve in-depth interviews with working class participants in four projects. These interviews indicate that learning should be understood in highly personal as well as institutional and relational terms. It is suggested that a theory of participation in learning needs to incorporate personal and socio-psychological perspectives as well as sociological. Equally it is not easy to develop an alternative approach to sustained learning from thinking about, and acting on, social constraints alone. Participant control is difficult to establish since people need confidence and personal legitimacy as well as skills and knowledge before learning can become more 'dialogical'. Nonetheless it is concluded that the forms of participation which maximise the potential for learning should be democratic in nature. The thesis ends by discussing some practical implications. These include approaches to social organisation and curriculum development. Difficult questions are raised about values underlying the organisation of adult learning which cannot be avoided in research.

description: This study intends to show how informative posters influence consumers' choice and willingness to pay for food products. To operate the study, we hypothesized the poster with transportation and GHG emissions will have the greatest impact on increasing willingness to buy and choose local foods. The study is a between-subject group design, participants (N=252) were randomly assigned to three conditions: No-Framing condition, GHG Emission condition, and GHG Emission plus Transportation Distance condition, providing them informative posters with different types of local and remote food types. We used an online survey to measure if exposure of informative posters increases the participant’s willingness to pay for local food. The data analysis demonstrates that more people would choose local Steak and cheese after seeing information of transport distance and GHG emissions, which supports our hypothesis. Furthermore, the results in our study showed a significant effect of the variable on location of cheese, consumers have a preference for remote cheese over local cheese, regardless of the descriptive transportation information, that did not support our hypothesis and provided itself as a limitation on our study and a piece for consideration to improve upon meeting sustainability goals on UBC’s campus in the foods department.

Protecting the Swiss milk market from foreign price shocks: Public border protection vs. quality differentiation

description: In Switzerland, a number of different border protection policies are in place for dairy products as a result from stepwise market opening. While dairy products such as butter and milk powder are still subject to tariffs and tariff rate quotas, cheese trade with the EU is fully liberalized. It is not well-understood how such different types and levels of protection affect spatial price transmission for the respective products and the underlying raw milk. Therefore, we analyze price transmission between Germany and Switzerland for several dairy products at the wholesale level, and for raw milk producer prices. We find that not the degree of public border protection and the resulting trade volumes determine the degree and speed of spatial price transmission, but rather the qualitative differentiation of the Swiss products. While prices of tariff-protected dairy products are influenced by German price developments, cheese prices are not. Also at the producer level, raw milk prices for cheese processing are less strongly linked to foreign prices than milk prices for industrial dairy production. Our results suggest that for small high-income countries such as Switzerland, promoting high-quality products and hence reducing international substitutability alleviates international price pressure more than public protectionism via tariffs.

description: A study of the dependence of the heat capacity Cp(alpha) on field angle in LuNi2B2C reveals an anomalous disorder effect. For pure samples, Cp(alpha) exhibits a fourfold variation as the field H < Hc2 is rotated in the [001] plane, with minima along <100> (alpha = 0). A slightly disordered sample, however, develops anomalous secondary minima along <110> for H > 1 T, leading to an 8-fold pattern. The anomalous pattern is discussed in terms of coexisting superconducting gap anisotropy and non-local effects.
