description: Surface registration, in which a mapping between surfaces is calculated, is a powerful tool to create patient-specific musculoskeletal and statistical shape models. However, to create these models, surface registration must assure a one-to-one correspondence between both surfaces. To enhance this process, a surface registration framework that uses a combination of manual and automatic landmark detection is presented in this study. In addition, an extensive parameter study of the framework for a femur and a clavicle is conducted. The average correspondence quality of nine femur landmarks decreased from 15.6 mm using automatic point detection to 6.1 mm by combining manually and automatically indicated landmarks. For the clavicle, the average distance of five landmarks decreased from 2.8 to 0.9 mm. Combining manual and automatic landmark detection clearly improved correspondence quality. Results confirmed the applicability of the proposed registration framework for femur and clavicle, although with different parameter settings.

description: The existence of singularities in a closed FRW universe depends on the assumption that general relativity is valid for distances less than the Planck length. However, stationary state wave functions of the Schrodinger equation for a closed radiation-dominated FRW universe derived by Elbaz et al (General Relativity and Gravitation 29, 481, 1997) are zero at zero radius of curvature. Thus, even if general relativity is assumed valid at distances less than the Planck length, quantum mechanics seems to forbid singularities in a closed FRW universe.

description: We report on the measurement of coherent radio emission from the electron beam sudden appearance at the Telescope Array Electron Light Source facility. This emission was detected by four independent radio detector setups sensitive to frequencies ranging from 50 MHz up to 12.5 GHz. We show that this phenomenon can be understood as a special case of coherent transition radiation by comparing the observed results with simulations. The in-nature application of this signal is given by the emission of cosmic ray or neutrino induced particle cascades traversing different media such as air, rock and ice.

description: We present high-resolution (<0.5") mid-infrared Keck II images of individual sources in the central region of NGC 6334 I. We compare these images to images at a variety of other wavelengths from the near infrared to cm radio continuum and speculate on the nature of the NGC 6334 I sources. We assert that the cometary shape of the UCHII region here, NGC 6334 F, is due to a champagne-like flow from a source on the edge of a molecular clump and not a due to a bow shock caused by the supersonic motion of the UCHII region through the interstellar medium. The mid-infrared emission in concentrated into an arc of dust that define the boundary between the UCHII region and the molecular clump. This dust arc contains a majority of the masers in the region. We discuss the nature of the four near-infrared sources associated with IRS-I 1, and suggest that one of the sources, IRS1E, is responsible for the heating and ionizing of the UCHII region and the mid-infrared dust arc. Infrared source IRS-I 2, which has been thought to be a circumstellar disk associated with a linear distribution of methanol masers, is found not to be directly coincident with the masers and elongated at a much different position angle. IRS-I 3 is found to be a extended source of mid-infrared emission coming from a cluster of young dusty sources seen in the near-infrared.

description: Climate change is the world’s most pressing environmental issue, influencing almost all sectors of the economy. Agriculture is one of those sectors whose performance is primarily determined by an increasingly variable climate. Consequently, agriculture workers and particularly subsistence farmers are the proximate witnesses of the changing climate as their plight is one of having to struggle for their livelihood in the face of these emerging disruptions. Researchers in recent years have focused on ascertaining the perceived impacts of, and response to, climate change and agriculture. This study reviews the research specific to climate change-related experiences and observations of members of farming communities. Based on a systematic review of original research articles, published up until October 2016, the study reveals the status of in-field knowledge to inform future research. The review found that farmers worldwide have been experiencing changes in climate mainly regarding rising temperature, unpredictable and reduced rainfall. A majority have witnessed reduced agricultural production. Farmers hold differing explanations and respond accordingly to combat those changes. To orient adaptation measures towards those who are already experiencing and trying to respond to such changes, it is crucial to recognize and understand their views when formulating adaptation plans and policies.

description: We work out a microscopic theory describing complete statistics of voltage fluctuations generated by quantum phase slips (QPS) in superconducting nanowires. We evaluate the cumulant generating function and demonstrate that shot noise of the voltage as well as the third and all higher voltage cumulants differ from zero only due to the presence of QPS. In the zero-frequency limit voltage fluctuations in superconducting nanowires are described by Poisson statistics just as in a number of other tunneling-like problems. However, at non-zero frequencies quantum voltage fluctuations in superconducting nanowires become much more complicated and are not anymore accounted for by Poisson statistics. In the case of short superconducting nanowires we explicitly evaluate all finite-frequency voltage cumulants and establish a non-trivial relation between these cumulants and the current-voltage characteristics of our system.

description: The paper investigates the feasibility of using a variant of the spatial equilibrium model to estimate the productivity effects of a specific infrastructure project in New Zealand. Policy makers are interested in the marginal effects of infrastructure investment on productivity and an evaluation of such effects would provide a useful check on the appropriateness and adequacy of current decision rules and institutions. To date, there appear to be no examples of using a spatial equilibrium model to estimate the productivity effects of a specific infrastructure project. However, the analysis in this paper suggests that such an approach is feasible. There is a range of data and estimation issues that needs to be addressed in the use of a spatial equilibrium model for this purpose, but we find that a reasonably useful range of data is available in New Zealand. The next step in determining feasibility is to select a particular infrastructure project, and to develop an empirical model based on available data.

description: Objectives: Inadequate response to adalimumab can be caused by insufficient blockade of the target tumour necrosis factor (TNF) at low serum concentrations. In such cases, patients may respond to another TNF inhibitor. We investigated whether the serum adalimumab concentration is related to the efficacy of a second TNF inhibitor, etanercept, in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Patients with RA starting etanercept treatment were prospectively observed in the Reade Rheumatology Registry. In patients previously on adalimumab, serum concentrations were determined before treatment discontinuation. According to this concentration, three subgroups were formed: Results: In total, 449 consecutive patients were included, of whom 69 switched from adalimumab (15%) and 380 were biologic naive (85%). EULAR good or moderate response was achieved by 74% of the biologic-naive patients and by 72%, 50%, and 52% of switchers with adalimumab concentration Conclusion: RA patients with an inadequate response to adalimumab, in the presence of sufficient drug concentrations, benefit less from switching to another TNF inhibitor, etanercept.

description: Aims: To evaluate the cost differences between a treatment strategy including tofacitinib (TOFA) vs treatment strategies including adalimumab (ADA), golimumab (GOL), infliximab (IFX), and vedolizumab (VEDO) among all patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC) (further stratified by patients naïve/exposed to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors [TNFis]). Materials and methods: An Excel-based decision-analytic model was developed to evaluate costs from the perspective of a third-party US payer over 2 years. Efficacy and safety parameters were taken from prescribing information and published trials. All patients started induction therapy on the first treatment in the strategy and continued if efficacy criteria were met and no major adverse event occurred (in which cases they proceeded to the next treatment in the strategy). Results: The cost per member per month (PMPM) of the TOFA–>IFX–>VEDO–>GOL strategy ($1.11) was lower than that of the ADA–>IFX–>VEDO–>GOL strategy ($1.34; Δ = $−0.23) among the TNFi-naïve population (n = 204 patients out of a plan of one million members). Similarly, the use of TOFA before ADA (i.e. TOFA–>ADA–>IFX–> VEDO) was also associated with lower PMPM costs than the use of ADA before TOFA (i.e. ADA–>TOFA–>IFX–>VEDO): $1.15 vs $1.25 (Δ = $−0.10). Similar, and often larger, differences were observed in both the overall moderate-to-severe population and the TNFi-exposed population. Sensitivity analyses resulted in the same conclusions. Limitations: Our model relied on efficacy data from prescribing information and published trials, which were not head-to-head and slightly differed with respect to methods. Additionally, our model used representative minor and major ADRs (and the associated costs) to represent toxicity management, which was a simplifying assumption. Conclusions: This analysis, the first of its kind to evaluate TOFA vis-à-vis other advanced therapies in the US, suggests the early use of TOFA among both TNFi-naïve and TNFi-failure patients results in lower PMPM costs compared with other treatment alternatives.

description: For a quantum field living on a non - static spacetime no instantaneous Hamiltonian is definable, for this generically necessitates a choice of inequivalent representation of the canonical commutation relations at each instant of time. This fact suggests a description in terms of time - dependent Hilbert spaces, a concept that fits naturally in a (consistent) histories framework. Our primary tool for the construction of the quantum theory in a continuous -time histories format is the recently developed formalism based on the notion of the history group . This we employ to study a model system involving a 1+1 scalar field in a cavity with moving boundaries. The instantaneous (smeared) Hamiltonian and a decoherence functional are then rigorously defined so that finite values for the time - averaged particle creation rate are obtainable through the study of energy histories. We also construct the Schwinger - Keldysh closed- time - path generating functional as a ``Fourier transform'' of the decoherence functional and evaluate the corresponding n - point functions.

description: We analyzed the spectral shape of the Compton shoulder around the neutral Fe-K$_α$ line of the Compton-thick type II Seyfert nucleus of the Circinus galaxy. The characteristics of this Compton shoulder with respect to the reflected continuum and Fe-K$_α$ line core intensity are a powerful diagnostics tool for analyzing the structure of the molecular tori, which obscure the central engine. We applied our Monte-Carlo-based X-ray reflection spectral model to the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating data and successfully constrained the various spectral parameters independently, using only the spectral data only around the Fe-K$_α$ emission line. The obtained column density and inclination angle are consistent with the previous observations and the Compton-thick type II Seyfert picture. In addition, we determined the metal abundance of the molecular torus for the case of the smooth and clumpy torus to be 1.75$^{+0.19}_{-0.17}$ and 1.74$\pm$0.16 solar abundance, respectively. Such slightly over-solar abundance can be useful information for discussing the star formation rate in the molecular tori of active galactic nuclei.

description: The Weyl-Weinberg-Salam model is presented. It is based on the local conformal gauge symmetry. The model identifies the Higgs scalar field in SM with the Penrose-Chernikov-Tagirov scalar field of the conformal theory of gravity. Higgs mechanism for generation of particle masses is replaced by the originated in Weyl's ideas conformal gauge scale fixing. Scalar field is no longer a dynamical field of the model and does not lead to quantum particle-like excitations that could be observed in HE experiments. Cosmological constant is naturally generated by the scalar quadric term. The model admits Weyl vector bosons that can mix with photon and weak bosons.

description: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a lucrative therapeutic target as far as anticancer drug discovery is concerned. Overexpression of MMP-2 is found to facilitate tumour propagation through the involvement of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). However, even after different techniques, finding a target-specific MMP-2 inhibitor with respectable pharmacodynamic properties is still a challenging task. Regression-dependent quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) strategies might be among the possible drug design methods to explore the essential structural features that would be valuable to find a suitable MMP-2 inhibitor. In this paper, 72 molecules were explored using the PaDEL descriptors and stepwise multiple linear regression (S-MLR). The partial least squares (PLS) method was also used to create a viable statistical model with an acceptable metric related to these models. The final statistical models were formed with statistical parameters within acceptable range (r2 = 0.797, Q2 = 0.725 and r2pred = 0.643 for the MLR model, and r2 = 0.780, Q2 = 0.685 and r2pred = 0.666 for the PLS model). The models were analysed and compared with those already published on the same endpoint.
The Impact of Environment on Late Time Evolution of the Stellar Mass - Halo Mass Relation

description: At a fixed halo mass, galaxy clusters with higher magnitude gaps have larger brightest central galaxy (BCG) stellar masses. Recent studies have shown that by including the magnitude gap ($\rm m_{gap}$) as a latent parameter in the stellar mass - halo mass (SMHM) relation, we can make more precise measurements on the amplitude, slope, and intrinsic scatter. Using galaxy clusters from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we measure the SMHM-$\rm m_{gap}$ relation and its evolution out to $z=0.3$. Using a fixed comoving aperture of 100kpc to define the central galaxy's stellar mass, we report statistically significant negative evolution in the slope of the SMHM relation to $z = 0.3$ ($> 3.5σ$). The steepening of the slope over the last 3.5 Gyrs can be explained by late-time merger activity at the cores of galaxy clusters. We also find that the inferred slope depends on the aperture used to define the radial extent of the central galaxy. At small radii (20kpc), the slope of the SMHM relation is shallow, indicating that the core of the central galaxy is less related to the growth of the underlying host halo. By including all of the central galaxy's light within 100kpc, the slope reaches an asymptote at a value consistent with recent high resolution hydrodynamical cosmology simulations.

description: We developed a read-across workflow using the OECD QSAR Toolbox for the prediction of skin irritation and corrosion. In the workflow, we gathered analogues using an improved profiler for skin irritation and corrosion to define valid categories. In addition, we refined categories by removing chemicals based on melting points and structural features. Finally, prediction results were obtained using our self-determined rule for read-across. In this rule, we decided the number of analogues from which the read-across is performed, analogue selection criteria (i.e. high similarity vs. near log Pow) and prediction rule (i.e. majority vs. unanimity). We created a program for the optimization of read-across workflows. We applied this program to 313 chemicals in the training set and sought the optimized workflows among >1000 possible choices of profilers and ways of subcategorization and data gap filling. Use of the optimized workflows provided highly accurate, unbiased, user-independent and reproducible read-across predictions. The prediction results obtained from read-across workflows can be used for the selection of in vitro test methods or as part of the weight-of-evidence approaches in the Integrated Approach on Testing and Assessment for skin irritation and corrosion. Moreover, these results can be used for screening purposes and/or preliminary hazard assessment.

description: Improvements in atom-light coherence are foundational to progress in quantum information science, quantum optics, and precision metrology. Optical atomic clocks require local oscillators with exceptional optical coherence due to the challenge of performing spectroscopy on their ultra-narrow linewidth clock transitions. Advances in laser stabilization have thus enabled rapid progress in clock precision. A new class of ultrastable lasers based on cryogenic silicon reference cavities has recently demonstrated the longest optical coherence times to date. In this work we utilize such a local oscillator, along with a state-of-the-art frequency comb for coherence transfer, with two Sr optical lattice clocks to achieve an unprecedented level of clock stability. Through an anti-synchronous comparison, the fractional instability of both clocks is assessed to be $4.8\times 10^{-17}/\sqrtτ$ for an averaging time $τ$ in seconds. Synchronous interrogation reveals a quantum projection noise dominated instability of $3.5(2)\times10^{-17}/\sqrtτ$, resulting in a precision of $5.8(3)\times 10^{-19}$ after a single hour of averaging. The ability to measure sub-$10^{-18}$ level frequency shifts in such short timescales will impact a wide range of applications for clocks in quantum sensing and fundamental physics. For example, this precision allows one to resolve the gravitational red shift from a 1 cm elevation change in only 20 minutes.

description: Recent experiments have shown that it is possible to study a fundamental astrophysical process such as dynamo action in controlled laboratory conditions using simple MHD flows. In this paper we explore the possibility that Taylor-Couette flow, already proposed as a model of the magneto-rotational instability of accretion discs, can sustain generation of magnetic field. Firstly, by solving the kinematic dynamo problem, we identify the region of parameter space where the magnetic field's growth rate is higher. Secondly, by solving simultaneously the coupled nonlinear equations which govern velocity field and magnetic field, we find a self-consistent nonlinearly saturated dynamo.

description: We present the results of a large scale computer simulation of supercooled silica. We find that at high temperatures the diffusion constants show a non-Arrhenius temperature dependence whereas at low temperature this dependence is also compatible with an Arrhenius law. We demonstrate that at low temperatures the intermediate scattering function shows a two-step relaxation behavior and that it obeys the time temperature superposition principle. We also discuss the wave-vector dependence of the nonergodicity parameter and the time and temperature dependence of the non-Gaussian parameter.

description: We study the co-rotational Beris-Edwards system modeling nematic liquid crystals and revisit the eigenvalue preservation property discussed in \cite{XZ16}. We give an alternative but direct proof to the eigenvalue preservation of the initial data for the $Q$-tensor. It is noted that our proof is not only valid in the whole space case, but in the bounded domain case as well.

description: We consider the Faraday surface waves of a fluid in a container with a non-integrable boundary shape. We show that, at sufficiently low frequencies, the wave patterns are ``scars'' selected by the instability of the corresponding periodic orbits, the dissipation at the container side walls, and interaction effects which reflect the nonlinear nature of the Faraday waves. The results explain the observation of a limited number of scars with anomalous strengths in recent experiments by Kudrolli, Abraham and Gollub.

description: If two countries experience similar cycles, loss in monetary sovereignty following currency union may not be severe. Analysis of cyclical similarity is frequently carried out at the overall industry level, then interpreted with reference to regional industrial structures. By contrast, this paper explicitly incorporates regional industry structure into an examination of Australasian cycles. Since 1991, NZ and Australasian cycles have been highly correlated, but there is little evidence that the NZ cycle has been "caused" by Australian regional or industry cycles. We test whether the NZDAUD exchange rate has insulated NZ from Australian shocks, but find it has not played a major buffering role in response to Australian industry shocks (including mining shocks). Instead, the strongest impacts on the NZDAUD stem from the NZ cycle. An important loss of monetary sovereignty under currency union may therefore arise in response to NZ-specific shocks.

description: We rephrase the derivation of black hole radiation so as to take into account, at the level of transition amplitudes, the change of the geometry induced by the emission process. This enlarged description reveals that the dynamical variables which govern the emission are the horizon area and its conjugate time variable. Their conjugation is established through the boundary term at the horizon which must be added to the canonical action of general relativity in order to obtain a well defined action principle when the area varies. These coordinates have already been used by Teitelboim and collaborators to compute the partition function of a black hole. We use them to show that the probability to emit a particle is given by $e^{- ΔA/4}$ where $ΔA$ is the decrease in horizon area induced by the emission. This expression improves Hawking result which is governed by a temperature (given by the surface gravity) in that the specific heat of the black hole is no longer neglected. The present derivation of quantum black hole radiation is based on the same principles which are used to derive the first law of classical black hole thermodynamics. Moreover it also applies to quantum processes associated with cosmological or acceleration horizons. These two results indicate that not only black holes but all event horizons possess an entropy which governs processes according to quantum statistical thermodynamics.

description: Background: Fatigue is a common symptom reported in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. It can be severe and modify the self-perception of disease. Objective: To evaluate the contribution of clinical and demographic factors to the level of fatigue in IBD patients. Methods: Patients consecutively observed in an outpatient IBD clinic during a 9-month period were studied. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Fatigue was assessed using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F). A FACIT-F score <30 was considered as severe fatigue. Results: One hundred and five patients were evaluated. Of them, 57.1% had Crohn´s Disease (CD) and 42.9% had Ulcerative Colitis. Also 85.0% and 77.8% were in clinical remission, respectively. The mean FACIT-F score was 39.63 ± 9.67. Severe fatigue was observed in 17.1% of patients. Female gender and active CD were significantly associated with a severe level of fatigue (p = .05 and p = .04). There was no significant correlation between the level of fatigue (severe vs. non-severe) and type of IBD, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, ferritin levels or previous surgeries. Patients under biological therapy had a significantly higher level of fatigue and a higher rate of previous hospitalizations (p = .02). Conclusions: Fatigue level is a simple and useful tool to evaluate the disease’s impact in patients’ life, and it should, therefore, be included in clinical practice. Biological therapy was associated to higher levels of fatigue. Future studies should evaluate the impact of therapy on the level of fatigue.

description: Frequency Selective Reconstruction (FSR) is a state-of-the-art algorithm for solving diverse image reconstruction tasks, where a subset of pixel values in the image is missing. However, it entails a high computational complexity due to its iterative, blockwise procedure to reconstruct the missing pixel values. Although the complexity of FSR can be considerably decreased by performing its computations in the frequency domain, the reconstruction procedure still takes multiple seconds up to multiple minutes depending on the parameterization. However, FSR has the potential for a massive parallelization greatly improving its reconstruction time. In this paper, we introduce a novel highly parallelized formulation of FSR adapted to the capabilities of modern GPUs and propose a considerably accelerated calculation of the inherent argmax calculation. Altogether, we achieve a 100-fold speed-up, which enables the usage of FSR for real-time applications.

Does religion matter to informal finance? Evidence from trade credit in China

description: Informal finance plays an important role in transitional economies with weak legal institutions, such as China. As a major informal finance instrument, trade credit relies on informal institutions and enforcement. The paper argues that religion enhances the ethical climate in which firms do business, and it predicts that religiosity increases trade credit, in that religion enhances enforcement by increasing non-pecuniary cost and reducing risk-taking. The results based on Chinese non-state listed firms between 2003 and 2013 confirm the prediction that firms located in high-religiosity regions are associated with more trade credit, especially in regions where formal institutions are weak or formal financing channels are limited. Furthermore, the paper shows that religiosity reduces overdue trade credit. Finally, the results are driven by Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity, but not Islam.
The Infrared Emission of Circumstellar Envelopes, Dark Silhouettes and Photoionized Disks in HII Regions

description: We model the IR Spectral Energy Distribution of circumstellar disks embedded in a HII region and photoevaporated by the external UV radiation. The model applies to the photoevaporated disks (proplyds) in Orion Nebula. First we calculate the IR emission of a PMS star surrounded by a dusty globule that is immersed within an HII region. The globule is assumed to be spherical, homogeneous, optically thin in the IR and photoevaporated according to the Dyson (1968) model. Second, we consider the IR emission of a disk directly exposed to the nebular environment. The disk is passive and treated according to the Chiang and Goldreich (1997) model. We improve over the CG97 treatment by tracing the propagation of the various radiative fluxes through the disk superheated atmosphere. Since the opposite disk sides receive different amounts of radiation, the flaring angle and the surface temperature distributions are different, resulting in well distinguished SEDs for the two disk faces. Finally, we combine the globule and disk models to estimate the IR emission of proplyds. The energy input from the central star and the nebular environment increase the disk flaring angle, and therefore also the amount of stellar radiation intercepted by the disk. The relative intensity of the disk vs. envelope emission varies with the tilt angle relative to the directions of th1Ori-C, and of the Earth. We explore the dependence of the SEDs upon the tilt angle with respect to the Earth, the distance from th1Ori-C, the size on the envelope, the inner disk radius and the temperature of the central star. The resulting SEDs are characterized by a broad peak of emission at 30-60micron, and are in general significantly different from those of isolated disks in low-mass star forming regions like Taurus-Auriga.
