description: A novel dimeric flavonol glycoside, Cynanflavoside A (1), together with six analogues, kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), quercetin-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-xylopyranoside (4), quercetin-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-xylopyranoside (5), kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (6), and quercetin-3-O-galactoside (7) were isolated from the n-butyl alcohol extract of Cynanchum acutum subsp. sibiricum. Their structures were determined spectroscopically and compared with previously reported spectral data. All compounds were evaluated for their anti-complementary activity in vitro, and only compound 5 exhibited anti-complement effects with CH50 value of 0.33 mM.

description: Microalgal biotechnology has gained considerable importance in recent decades. Applications range from simple biomass production for food and animal feed to valuable products for fuel, pharmaceuticals, health, biomolecules and materials relevant to nanotechnology. There are few reports of the exploration of wider microalgae biodiversity in the literature on high value microalgal compounds, however, because it is believed that there is little to be gained in terms of biomass productivity by examining new strains. Still, without diversity, innovation in biotechnology applications is currently limited. Using microalgal diversity is a very promising way to match species and processes for a specific biotechnological application. In this context, three benthic marine diatom strains (Entomoneis paludosa NCC18.2, Nitzschia alexandrina NCC33, and Staurosira sp NCC182) were selected for their lipid production and growth capacities. Using PAM fluorometry and FTIR spectroscopy, this study investigated the impact of nitrogen repletion and depletion as well as light intensity (30, 100, and 400 µmol.photons.m-2.s-1) on their growth, photosynthetic performance and macromolecular content, with the aim of improving the quality of their lipid composition. Results suggest that under high light and nitrogen limitation, the photosynthetic machinery is negatively impacted, leading cells to reduce their growth and accumulate lipids and/or carbohydrates. However, increasing lipid content under stressful conditions does not increase the production of lipids of interest: PUFA, ARA and EPA production decreases. Culture conditions to optimize production of such fatty acids in these three original strains led to a balance between economic and ecophysiological constraints: low light and no nitrogen limitation led to better photosynthetic capacities associated with energy savings, and hence a more profitable approach.

description: We present a theoretical explanation for the interfacial zigzag instability that appears in anisotropic systems. Such an instability has been experimentally highlighted for an Ising wall formed in a nematic liquid crystal cell under homeotropic anchoring conditions. From an envelope equation, relevant close to the Freedericksz transition, we have derived an asymptotic equation describing the interface dynamics in the vicinity of its bifurcation. The asymptotic limit used accounts for a strong difference between two of the elastic constants. The model is characterized by a conservative order parameter which satisfies a Cahn-Hilliard equation. It provides a good qualitative understanding of the experiments.

description: A German federal research was established to analyse determinants on school milk demand. Among those, individual factors, like children’s eating habits, attitudes, preferences and socio-economic variables were considered but also contextual factors like attitudes and habits of class teachers and school variables were regarded; and more, price effects on demand were derived via a price experiment. As girls order significantly less school milk than boys this paper aims to analysis gender-specific decisions. In the analysis, a database is used in which individual order information are merged with survey results concerning pupils, parents, class teachers, school principals and school milk managers of the sampled schools. A multilevel analysis is applied, because included explanatory variables of gender-specific school milk orders can be assigned to different groups (individual, class, school, price phase) in which the independence of variable distributions may be hampered; whereas equations are established as ordinary logistic function. Estimates for both genders comprise individual factors affecting positively the school milk orders like e.g., the provision of school milk free of charge, or when pupils think that `milk tastes good´ and contextual factors such as their class teachers’ involvement. Gender-specific distinctions cover e.g., the fact that male pupils have a higher probability to order school milk and react to price incentives. Concerning the context variables, boys react to teachers and principal attitudes. In contrast, with girls prices have a very limited impact, but their parents and teachers are regarded as role models. Girls prefer more choices in product differentiation. These results indicate gender-specific programs integrating their family and teachers, and a wider range of product choices.

description: We study one-magnon excitations in a random ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with long-range correlations in the coupling constant distribution. By employing an exact diagonalization procedure, we compute the localization length of all one-magnon states within the band of allowed energies $E$. The random distribution of coupling constants was assumed to have a power spectrum decaying as $S(k)\propto 1/k^α$. We found that for $α< 1$, one-magnon excitations remain exponentially localized with the localization length $ξ$ diverging as 1/E. For $α= 1$ a faster divergence of $ξ$ is obtained. For any $α> 1$, a phase of delocalized magnons emerges at the bottom of the band. We characterize the scaling behavior of the localization length on all regimes and relate it with the scaling properties of the long-range correlated exchange coupling distribution.

description: We discuss the physical effects causing a modification of resonance masses, widths and even shapes in a dilute hadronic gas at late stages of heavy ion collisions. We quantify the conditions at which resonances are produced at RHIC, and found that it happens at $T\approx 120 MeV$. Although in the pp case the ``kinematic'' effects like thermal weighting of the states is sufficient, in AA we see a clear effect of dynamical interaction with matter, both due to a variety of s-channel resonances and due to t-channel scalar exchanges. The particular quantity we focus mostly on is the $ρ$ meson mass, for which these dynamical effects lead to about -50 MeV shift, on top of about -20 MeV of a thermal effect: both agree well with preliminary data from STAR experiment at RHIC. We also predict a complete change of shape of $f_0(600)$ resonance, even by thermal effects alone.

description: We revisit the discovery and implications of the first candidate systems to contain multiple transiting exoplanets. These systems were discovered using data from the Kepler space telescope. The initial paper, presenting five systems (Steffen et al. 2010), was posted online at the time the project released the first catalog of Kepler planet candidates. The first extensive analysis of the observed population of multis was presented in a follow-up paper published the following year (Lissauer et al. 2011a). Multiply-transiting systems allow us to answer a variety of important questions related to the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. These two papers addressed a wide array of topics including: the distribution of orbital period ratios, planet size ratios, system architectures, mean-motion resonance, orbital eccentricities, planet validation and confirmation, and the identification of different planet populations. They set the stage for many subsequent, detailed studies by other groups. Intensive studies of individual multiplanet systems provided some of Kepler's most important exoplanet discoveries. As we examine the scientific impact of the first of these systems, we also present some history of the people and circumstances surrounding their discoveries.

description: Food consumption choice rather than simply food consumption knowledge is now considered important in better understanding the unfolding obesity epidemic. In this paper, crossdisciplinary research examines food and drink combining. A survey-based pilot study examines the food and drink pairing preferences of young adults and shows strong preferences exist. A laboratory study with young children finds food consumption is not influenced by the child’s fussiness but is influenced by the drink accompaniment. Both palate preference and associative learning are explored as mechanisms driving the effects of drink context on food consumption.

description: Majority of research on urban development perceive migration as internally homogeneous phenomenon that influences growth and spatial redistribution of population. This enables to identify certain general migration patterns, but understanding regularities and consequences requires looking at internal structure of migration. This paper aims to visualise the impact of selective migration to the population structures across multiple spatial scales and in a complex way taking Slovakia as the case study. By this means spatial patterns of migration are demonstrated in a more efficient way. The resulting maps show the impact of migration is selective at various spatial levels regarding age and educational attainment. In comparison with general migration, selective migration shows stronger spatial polarisation in Slovakia.

From the error dynamics of two particles, the structure of phase space was analyzed, and a transcritical bifurcation between a saddle and a stable fixed point was found. We have verified the structure of on-off intermittency in terms of a biased random walk. Furthermore, for the generalized case of the ensemble of particles, \emph{a modified definition} of the size of a snapshot attractor was exploited to establish the link with a random walk. As a result, the structure of on-off intermittency in the ensemble of particles was explicitly revealed near the transition.

description: Considering most children spend a majority of their weekdays at school and, on average, obtain more than one-third of their daily caloric intake from meals consumed at school during the school year, school is a natural place to implement nutrition policies that would help develop healthy eating habits and improve health and well-being of children. At the same time, local school meal policies may influence what foods are offered and how the foods are prepared. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) two school meal programs can play an important role in children’s diets and food habit formation and thus positively influence children’s health. The focus of our research is children’s intakes of fruits and vegetables by location of consumption. We include intake of the fruits and vegetables at school and at home and evaluate whether the school meal intake substitutes or supplements intake at home. We use data from the third School Nutrition Dietary Assessment Study (SNDA-III), and estimate jointly the student’s latent consumption of target foods (fruits and vegetables) by location of consumption and the student’s endogenous decision to participate in the school meal program. We find demographic effects influence consumption, and although school food policies examined had little effect on participation in the school meal program, some school policies do affect fruits and vegetables consumption. There is evidence that increased exposure to fruits and vegetables in school will positively affect home consumption.

description: A model of interacting motile chaotic elements is proposed. The chaotic elements are distributed in space and interact with each other through interactions depending on their positions and their internal states. As the value of a governing parameter is changed, the model exhibits successive phase changes with novel pattern dynamics, including spatial clustering, fusion and fission of clusters and intermittent diffusion of elements. We explain the manner in which the interplay between internal dynamics and interaction leads to this behavior by employing certain quantities characterizing diffusion, correlation, and the information cascade of synchronization.

description: This paper presents an analysis of GlobalGAP adoption by small-scale fruit and vegetable farmers in Thailand focusing on GlobalGAP group certification, the costs and perceived benefits of GlobalGAP adoption, and the factors influencing standard adoption. GlobalGAP is the most important private standard for producers in the Thai horticultural sector concerning access to high-value markets, especially to Europe. We find that support by donors, exporters and public-private partnerships is vital to enable small-scale farmers to adopt the standard. GlobalGAP group certification encourages the formation of new institutional arrangements between farmers, exporters and donors. In our sample only participants from a development program were successful in adopting GlobalGAP and within the program farmers were either organized in certification groups where the Quality Management System (QMS) was run by farmers themselves, by an exporter or by a donor. The results of the adoption analysis suggest that household characteristics (age, education, wealth, availability of family labor), farm characteristics (farm size, intensity of irrigation use), the number of agricultural trainings subjects attended, prior involvement in high-value supply chains, as well as exporter and donor support in terms of costs of compliance, technical advice and management of the QMS influence GlobalGAP adoption.

description: This paper estimates the impacts of weight, measured by body mass index (BMI), on employment, wages, and missed work due to illness for Russian adults by gender using recent panel data (1994-2005) from the nationally representative Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS). We employ econometric techniques to control for unobserved heterogeneity and potential biases due to endogeneity in BMI. The results show an inverted U-shaped effect of BMI on probability of employment for men and women. We did not find evidence of wage penalty for higher BMI. In fact, the wages for overweigh men are higher. However, having a BMI above 28.3 increases the number of days missing work due to health problems for men. Overall, we find negative effects of obesity on employment only for women but not on wages. During the transition in Russia, the increasingly competitive pressure in the labour market combined with economic insecurity faced by the population has lead to a muted impact of an individual’s weight on labour market outcomes.

description: Docetaxel is an artificial semi-synthetic second-generation taxane antitumor drug, which is suitable for the treatment of various cancers such as lung cancer. The route of administration of DTX formulations has been extended to oral, intravenous, and rectal, with few studies on pulmonary administration being reported. Here, we had developed docetaxel liposomes (DTX-lips) for pulmonary inhalation administration. The particle size of the preparation was 125 nm, the encapsulation efficiency was 94.4 ± 0.14%, and the drug loading capacity was 1.26 ± 0.01%.It had good stability. The fine particle fraction with aerodynamic diameter less than 6.4 μm accounts for 64.63 ± 0.12%, showed excellent aerosolization performance. DTX-lips were slow to release in simulated lung fluid. The fluorescence distribution experimented in mice and tissues showed that the fluorescence of the inhaled liposome group was mainly distributed in the lung, and the retention time was significantly prolonged as compared with those of the other two groups. No significant fluorescence was observed in other tissues, which was conducive to the full effect of the drug in the lung tissue. DTX-lips had no damage to respiratory system and whole body. These results indicated that the inhaled docetaxel liposomes had good lung targeting, reduced accumulation in other organs, and improved the safety and effectiveness of the drug.

description: We review and pursue further the study of constrained realisations of affine Gaudin models, which form a large class of two-dimensional integrable field theories with gauge symmetries. In particular, we develop a systematic gauging procedure which allows to reformulate the non-constrained realisations of affine Gaudin models considered recently in [JHEP 06 (2019) 017] as equivalent models with a gauge symmetry. This reformulation is then used to construct integrable deformations of these models breaking their diagonal symmetry. In a second time, we apply these general methods to the integrable coupled $σ$-model introduced recently, whose target space is the N-fold Cartesian product $G_0^N$ of a real semi-simple Lie group $G_0$. We present its gauged formulation as a model on $G_0^{N+1}$ with a gauge symmetry acting as the right multiplication by the diagonal subgroup $G_0^{\text{diag}}$ and construct its diagonal homogeneous Yang-Baxter deformation.

description: We consider an experimentally relevant model of a geometric ratchet in which particles undergo drift and diffusive motion in a two-dimensional periodic array of obstacles, and which is used for the continuous separation of particles subject to different forces. The macroscopic drift velocity and diffusion tensor are calculated by a Monte-Carlo simulation and by a master-equation approach, using the correponding microscopic quantities and the shape of the obstacles as input. We define a measure of separation quality and investigate its dependence on the applied force and the shape of the obstacles.

description: Marketing mix models (MMMs) are statistical models for measuring the effectiveness of various marketing activities such as promotion, media advertisement, etc. In this research, we propose a comprehensive marketing mix model that captures the hierarchical structure and the carryover, shape and scale effects of certain marketing activities, as well as sign restrictions on certain coefficients that are consistent with common business sense. In contrast to commonly adopted approaches in practice, which estimate parameters in a multi-stage process, the proposed approach estimates all the unknown parameters simultaneously using a constrained maximum likelihood approach and a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm. We present results on real datasets to illustrate the use of the proposed solution algorithms.

description: In this study we statistically assess the relationship between corporate characteristics, environmental contribution, and financial performance. To this end, we compare the financial performance of all US corporations that have composed the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexs (DJSI), being the most proactive companies in providing services and goods while maintaining ethical responsibility and environmental sustainability. Performance is compared to mean performance of the related industry, sector, and the market portfolio. Our analysis suggest that firms who are proactive supporting Social Responsibility and Environmental Sustainability (SRER corporations) are characterized by significantly higher profit measures than the industry and the sector, though not higher than the entire market; have lower short term liquidity than that of the industry and the related sector, and surprisingly their long term leverage is significantly higher. High SRER corporations are characterized by significantly higher managerial efficiency ratios than the respective industry and the sector. Interestingly, the per-worker ratios are significantly lower than all the benchmarks. These results illustrate the strong relation between social and environmental sustainability and the long term business plan. Results extend existing literature that has restricted attention to Corporate Social Responsibility and financial performance, but have left aside sustainability.

Stadium Billiard with Moving Walls

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the evolution of the energy distribution for a stadium with moving walls. We consider one period driving cycle, which is characterized by an amplitude $A$ and wall velocity $V$. This evolving energy distribution has both "parametric" and "stochastic" components. The latter are important for the theory of quantum irreversibility and dissipation in driven mesoscopic devices (eg in the context of quantum computation). For extremely slow wall velocity $V$ the spreading mechanism is dominated by transitions between neighboring levels, while for larger (non-adiabatic) velocities the spreading mechanism has both perturbative and non-perturbative features. We present, for the first time, a numerical study which is aimed in identifying the latter features. A procedure is developed for the determination of the various $V$ regimes. The possible implications on linear response theory are discussed.

Quantum Probes for Ohmic Environments at Thermal Equilibrium

description: It is often the case that the environment of a quantum system may be described as a bath of oscillators with Ohmic density of states. In turn, the precise characterization of these classes of environments is a crucial tool to engineer decoherence or to tailor quantum information protocols. Recently, the use of quantum probes in characterizing Ohmic environments at zero-temperature has been discussed, showing that a single qubit provides precise estimation of the cutoff frequency. On the other hand, thermal noise often spoil quantum probing schemes, and for this reason we here extend the analysis to complex system at thermal equilibrium. In particular, we discuss the interplay between thermal fluctuations and time evolution in determining the precision {attainable by} quantum probes. Our results show that the presence of thermal fluctuations degrades the precision for low values of the cutoff frequency, i.e. values of the order $ω_c \lesssim T$ (in natural units). For larger values of $ω_c$ decoherence is mostly due to the structure of environment, rather than thermal fluctuations, such that quantum probing by a single qubit is still an effective estimation procedure.

description: We consider the interactions of traveling localized wave solutions with a vertex in a star graph domain that describes multiple Josephson junctions with a common/branch point (i.e., tricrystal junctions). The system is modeled by the sine-Gordon equation. The vertex is represented by boundary conditions that are determined by the continuity of the magnetic field and vanishing total fluxes. When one considers small-amplitude breather solutions, the system can be reduced into the nonlinear Schrödinger equation posed on a star graph. Using the equation, we show that a high-velocity incoming soliton is split into a transmitted component and a reflected one. The transmission is shown to be in good agreement with the transmission rate of plane waves in the linear Schrödinger equation on the same graph (i.e., a quantum graph). In the context of the sine-Gordon equation, small-amplitude breathers show similar qualitative behaviors, while large-amplitude ones produce complex dynamics.

description: The objective of this paper is to identify which household factors and farm features determine the farm income in the rural households in the Northern Region of Ghana, and further to examine how farm income, nonfarm income and other socio-demographic factors affect the household fresh vegetable expenditure. The simultaneous equation model is applied to explore the interacting relationship between farm income and the fresh vegetable expenditure. The results indicate that the farm features such as cultivation of staple crops, total number of acres under groundnut cultivation, and the number of bullocks are the major determinants of the farm income, while the socio-demographic factors such as the nonfarm income, education, household composition, age, and gender of the household head significantly affect the fresh vegetable expenditure in the rural households.

description: We present results for the $p p \to p p ω$ reaction studied by considering two different scenarios: with and without the inclusion of nucleon resonance excitations. The recently measured angular distribution by the COSY-TOF Collaboration at an excess energy of $Q = 173$ MeV and the energy dependence of the total cross section data for $π^- p \to ωn$ are used to calibrate the model parameters. The inclusion of nucleon resonances improves the theoretical prediction for the energy dependence of the total cross section in $pp \to ppω$ at excess energies $Q < 31$ MeV. However, it still underestimates the data by about a factor of two, and remains a problem in understanding the reaction mechanism.

description: The orange crop is widespread in Brazil and is cultivated in almost all states. Meanwhile, Orange is a focused culture, with the State of Sao Paulo accounts for about 78% of production. But there is a discrepancy between the number of producers and the quantity produced orange. This mismatch between variables can signal a lack of efficiency in the citrus sector. In this context, the study aimed to examine the technical efficiency of citrus properties in the State of Sao Paulo in the period between the years 2009 and 2010. To achieve our goals, we applied the non-parametric approach of data envelopment analysis to calculate the levels of technical efficiency and Tobit econometric model to understand the determinants of technical efficiency. The results showed that most properties citrus works inefficiently and the variables that most contribute to increased efficiency are "schooling" and "time as a farmer".

description: Upon treating the whole closed-string massless NS-NS sector as stringy graviton fields, Double Field Theory may evolve into `Stringy Gravity'. In terms of an $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$ covariant differential geometry beyond Riemann, we present the definitions of the off-shell conserved stringy Einstein curvature tensor and the on-shell conserved stringy Energy-Momentum tensor. Equating them, all the equations of motion of the massless sector are unified into a single expression, $G_{AB}{=8πG} T_{AB}$, carrying $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$ vector indices, which we dub `the Einstein Double Field Equations'.
