description: The study was carried out in Jalingo area of Taraba State, Nigeria with the sole aim of assessing the suitability of floodplains of Jalingo area for sugarcane production. Five floodplains considered were: Angwan Karofi, Mayo-gwoi, Nukkai, Old Magami and Sabon gari. Three composite soil samples were collected each at 0 – 15 and 15 – 30 cm depth in each of the floodplain areas to determine their physical and chemical properties. The results showed that soils of the floodplain areas were generally clay loam (36.40, 46.80 and 46.40 % of sand, silt and clay) with moderate porosity (43.66 %), bulk density (1.66 %) and high-water holding capacity (83.70 %). The chemical properties of the soil showed that pH is slightly acidic to neutral (6.47 – 7.65), moderate organic matter (2.97 %), Medium Nitrogen (0.22 – 0.70%), Moderate Magnesium (2.42 – 3.11cmol/kg) and Moderate CEC (17.73 cmol/kg). The results of the soil properties across the various floodplain locations were compared individually with the standard suitability ratings for sugarcane production where the soil suitability was identified as marginally suitable (Ms). The limiting factors identified for sugarcane production were OM, N, K and Mg. From the result of the study, it could be observed that effective management of these soils will require the application of N, P and K fertilizers and dolomitic lime or magnesium oxide to curb the limiting factors of N, P, K and Mg respectively for the production of sugarcane in the study area. Growing of sugarcane are recommended within the study areas since the soil conditions are moderately suitable with minimal constraints.

description: A recent case of success, the Knowledge-Guided Local Search was able to efficiently and effectively solve several (Large-Scale) Vehicle Routing Problems. This method presents an interesting concept of route compactness in their search process and uses it to penalise the solutions instead of using the traditional distance measure. Although mostly being successful, this measure sometimes leads to underperforming solutions when compared to the distance aspect. Based on the assumption that the best Guide Local Search penalisation criterion depends on the VRP instance, we make an analysis on how the algorithm behaves across different instances and also propose a Machine Learning model to learn to predict the best penalty criterion for a given instance. Genetic Programming, Support-Vector Machines and Random Forests are used in this classification task. Additionally, we also consider a regression model in order to estimate the improvement given for each mode. Results show that it is possible to find the correct class using the selected features and, in fact, some models were able to classify the majority of instances correctly. However, this is not consistent across different instances.
How Effective Public Managers Transform Separation of Powers into “Inseparable Powers” in United States Foster Care Administration Networks

description: Results from a four state foster care administration field research study in the United States with over 55 key player interviews produced data on what particular networking practices public managers perform that contributes to foster care administration effectiveness. One of these practices was the concept of inseparable powers, whereby the traditional checks and balances roles of the judicial, executive, and legislative branches are slightly altered in eras of state-level foster care administration effectiveness. During a period of inseparable powers, effective public managers work across the state branch boundaries in the United States with partners from other branches to produce better foster care outcomes.

Abstract Eladocagene exuparvovec (Upstaza™) is a gene therapy developed by PTC Therapeutics for the treatment of human aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency. Eladocagene exuparvovec comprises an adeno-associated virus vector that delivers the dopa decarboxylase (DDC) gene, the gene for human AADC. Eladocagene exuparvovec was approved in July 2022 in the EU for the treatment of patients aged 18 months and older with a clinical, molecular, and genetically confirmed diagnosis of AADC deficiency with a severe phenotype (i.e. patients who cannot sit, stand or walk). This article summarizes the milestones in the development of eladocagene exuparvovec leading to this first approval for the treatment of patients aged 18 months and older with AADC deficiency. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022

description: Background: More granulocyte concentrates (GCs) could be produced for more patients from the same donor if apheresis bags were split and stored for longer periods of time. Hence, we tested the hypothesis that splitting and extension of storage of GCs do not impair granulocyte function or viability. Study Design and Methods: Granulocyte apheresis concentrates were produced using modified fluid gelatin as a separation enhancer, split into two portions, and stored for 24 and 48 h. Granulocyte function, represented by cell migration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETosis), was measured by live-cell imaging. ROS production, adhesive surface protein expression, and viability were measured by flow cytometry. Results: Splitting had no effect on any of the tested parameters. After 24 h of storage, live-cell imaging showed no significant difference in migration, time to maximum ROS production, time to half-maximum NETosis, viability, or CD11b expression, but ROS production induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) decreased from an initial median fluorescence intensity of 1775–590 artificial units. After 48 h, PMA-induced ROS production, viability, and migration declined, as reflected by decreases in median total distance (119 vs. 63.5 μm) and median Euclidean distance (30.75 vs. 14.3 μm). Conclusion: Splitting GC products has no effect on granulocyte viability or function, but extended storage >24 h does compromise granulocyte function. The findings confirm that GCs should be transfused within 24 h of collection. Longer storage cannot be recommended.

description: Рассмотрена проблема неопределенности, причины и способы ее преодоления в образовании за счет реализации опыта «Педагогики сотрудничества» (Ш. А. Амонашвили, С. Н. Лысенковой, В. Ф. Шаталова). Основной акцент делается на главных идеях в модели отношений «учитель – ученик», скрепленных взаимопониманием, совместной деятельностью с общей целью, создающей у детей радость в познании и общении, позитивную мотивацию к учебе. Подчёркивается, что «Педагогика сотрудничества» опирается на законы психологии и дидактики Дж. Миллера, Г. Эббингауза и др. Представлены результаты эксперимента по разработке текста с опорным конспектом для электронных учебников, с выдержанными параметрами естественного восприятия и удобочитаемости. Они приобретают особую важность в условиях модернизации образования и внедрения цифровых технологий для оценки качества текста электронных учебных изданий.
description: The article deals with the problem of uncertainty and ways to overcome it in education by implementation of the pedagogy of cooperation developed by Sh. A. Amonashvili, S. N. Lysenkova and V. F. Shatalov. The primary focus is on the main ideas of the teacher-student relations model bonded by mutual understanding, joint activities with a common goal, which creates joy in learning and communication in children, positive motivation for learning. It is highlighted that the pedagogy of cooperation is based on the laws of psychology and didactics by J. Miller, G. Ebbinghaus and others. The results of the experiment in development of a text with supportive notes for electronic textbooks preserving the parameters of easy understanding and legibility are presented. They become especially significant for the evaluation of quality of electronic text-books under the conditions of modernization of education and implementation of digital technologies.

description: Chu connections and back diagonals are introduced as morphisms for distributors between categories enriched in a small quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$. These notions, meaningful for closed bicategories, dualize the constructions of arrow categories and the Freyd completion of categories. It is shown that, for a small quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, the category of complete $\mathcal{Q}$-categories and left adjoints is a retract of the dual of the category of $\mathcal{Q}$-distributors and Chu connections, and it is dually equivalent to the category of $\mathcal{Q}$-distributors and back diagonals. As an application of Chu connections, a postulation of the intuitive idea of reduction of formal contexts in the theory of formal concept analysis is presented, and a characterization of reducts of formal contexts is obtained.

description: We present here a relationship among massive self-dual models for spin-3 particles in $D=2+1$ via the Noether Gauge Embedment $(NGE)$ procedure. Starting with a first order model (in derivatives) $S_{SD(1)}$ we have obtained a sequence of four self-dual models $S_{SD(i)}$ where $i=1,2,3,4$. We demonstrate that the $NGE$ procedure generate the correct action for the auxiliary fields automatically. We obtain the whole action for the $4th$ order self-dual model including all the needed auxiliary fields to get rid of the ghosts of the theory.

Asymmetric capture of Dirac dark matter by the Sun

description: Current problems with the solar model may be alleviated if a significant amount of dark matter from the galactic halo is captured in the Sun. We discuss the capture process in the case where the dark matter is a Dirac fermion and the background halo consists of equal amounts of dark matter and anti-dark matter. By considering the case where dark matter and anti-dark matter have different cross sections on solar nuclei as well as the case where the capture process is considered to be a Poisson process, we find that a significant asymmetry between the captured dark particles and anti-particles is possible even for an annihilation cross section in the range expected for thermal relic dark matter. Since the captured number of particles are competitive with asymmetric dark matter models in a large range of parameter space, one may expect solar physics to be altered by the capture of Dirac dark matter. It is thus possible that solutions to the solar composition problem may be searched for in these type of models.

description: Computer-Based Assessment (CBA) is a common technique of assessment in higher educational institutions in Western countries, but a relatively new concept for students and teachers in Africa which Ghana is no different. It was therefore prudent to investigate students’ perceptions about CBA practices in University of Cape Coast. The researchers sampled students from two programmes in one department (i.e., B.Ed. Accounting and B.Ed. Management) in the Department of Business and Social Science Education (DoBSSE) in University of Cape Coast. Information was collected through questionnaire, completed by 255 students. It was concluded that, generally, students have positive perception towards the use of CBA. However, it was also generally agreed by students that there are challenges in the use of CBA. This finding has implications for university administrators to ensure that assessment conform to the international guidelines for Computer-Based Assessment. Also, the challenges that comes with the use of CBA needs to be addressed. This will help reap the full benefits of it to effectively improve teaching and learning.

The sheet has been realized with a Research Contract between ISPRA and the University of Urbino, through the survey at 1:10.000 scale of the volcanic and sedimentary deposits on it, also using the cartography and data already existing at 1:25.000 scale. The activities also involved the acquisition of stratigraphic, sedimentological and structural data of the area, included in the documentation accompanying the sheet, such as Legend, geological sections, chronostratigraphic scheme, tectonic scheme and Explanatory Notes. ISPRA also took care of the computerization and preparation of the geological BD at 1:25.000 scale.
 The areas occupied by sedimentary deposits were surveyed by the Tuscia University, while the areas occupied by volcanites were surveyed by the University of Urbino and ISPRA. In the part entrusted to ISPRA (SE quadrant of the sheet), all surveys and samples were carried out ex-novo. The area of Sheet no. 345 "Viterbo" is included in the sector of the western edge of the central Apennines affected by a sinorogenic compressive tectonic phase in the upper-middle Miocene and by an extensional phase from Messinian to Plio-Pleistocene. On a regional scale, this area is involved in the lifting of southern Tuscany and northern Latium, which can also be referred to the rising of magmatic melts.

description: We propose a method of joint interrogation in a single atom interferometer which overcomes the dead time between consecutive measurements in standard cold atomic fountains. The joint operation enables for a faster averaging of the Dick effect associated with the local oscillator noise in clocks and with vibration noise in cold atom inertial sensors. Such an operation allows achieving the lowest stability limit due to atom shot noise. We demonstrate a multiple joint operation in which up to five clouds of atoms are interrogated simultaneously in a single setup. The essential feature of multiple joint operation, demonstrated here for a micro-wave Ramsey interrogation, can be generalized to go beyond the current stability limit associated with dead times in present-day cold atom interferometer inertial sensors.

description: We report the observational results of water (H2O) masers around the Mira variable BX Cam with the East Asian VLBI Network (EAVN), which is the first scientific output of the ESTEMA (EAVN Synthesis of Stellar Maser Animations) project. The data reported here cover the period from May 2018 to June 2021 at 3–4 weeks intervals, except during the EAVN maintenance season (June–August). The result is the astrometric animation, over three stellar pulsation cycles. The absolute positions, proper motions, and annual parallaxes of masers are determined using the dual-beam astrometry with VERA (Japanese VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry), which has joined the ESTEMA observations as a sub-array. The derived parallax is consistent with Gaia EDR3 and previous VLBI parallaxes. The stellar position with respect to the H2O maser distribution is registered by a ring of silicon-monoxide (SiO) masers using the source-frequency phase-referencing (SFPR) technique that was applied to the data taken with the multi-frequency receiving system of the sub-array KVN (Korean VLBI Network). The derived stellar position is consistent with that of Gaia EDR3 within 3 mas. The three-dimensional H2O maser kinematics indicates that the circumstellar envelope is expanding at a velocity of 13 ± 4 km/s, while there are asymmetries in both the spatial and velocity distributions of the maser features. The H2O maser animation also directly visualizes the propagation of heat waves in the circumstellar envelope of this star through rapid change in the global maser spatial distribution.

description: We aim to interpret future photometric and spectral measurements from these instruments, in terms of physical parameters of the planets, with an atmospheric model using a minimal number of assumptions and parameters. We developed Exoplanet Radiative-convective Equilibrium Model (Exo-REM) to analyze the photometric and spectro- scopic data of directly imaged planets. The input parameters are a planet's surface gravity (g), effective temperature (Teff ), and elemental composition. The model predicts the equilibrium temperature profile and mixing ratio profiles of the most important gases. Opacity sources include the H2-He collision-induced absorption and molecular lines from eight compounds (including CH4 updated with the Exomol line list). Absorption by iron and silicate cloud particles is added above the expected condensation levels with a fixed scale height and a given optical depth at some reference wavelength. Scattering was not included at this stage. We applied Exo-REM to photometric and spectral observations of the planet beta Pictoris b obtained in a series of near-IR filters. We derived Teff = 1550 +- 150 K, log(g) = 3.5 +- 1, and radius R = 1.76 +- 0.24 RJup (2-σ error bars from photometric measurements). These values are comparable to those found in the literature, although with more conservative error bars, consistent with the model accuracy. We were able to reproduce, within error bars, the J- and H-band spectra of beta Pictoris b. We finally investigated the precision to which the above parameter

Changes in the patterns of antimicrobial resistance of equine pathogens over a fourteen year period
Creators: name: Mulligan, Clare
Publisher: name: University of Limerick

Subjects: subject: Biological sciences
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Bacterial resistance to antimicrobials has become a global issue which is affecting veterinary treatment of animals, welfare of animals and can have economic implications. The use of antibiotics in animals can lead to selection of resistance genes that can cause serious risk to human health due to a lack of ability to treat infections. The aim of this project was to investigate the suscepitibility patterns of equine pathogens against a range of antibiotics over a fourteen year period using minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC‟s) as a measure of resistance. The epsilometer test is an agar diffusion method used to establish if a strain of bacterium is susceptible to the action of a specific antibiotic. It is a predefined, stable gradient with concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 250ug/ul. A total of 2,100 individual MIC tests were carried out. All samples were of equine origin and isolated from clinical cases. The bacteria examined were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus equi subsp. equi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which are the most common pathogens of horses. The panel of antibiotics used included; Gentamicin, Ampicillin, Amikacin, Enrofloxacin, Tetracycline, Penicillin and a combination of Trimethoprim/Sulphonimide. The main findings of this study demonstrated a trend in the increase of MIC values for the bacteria Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus equi subsp. equi across all antimicrobials tested, with the exception of Staphylococcus aureus where a decreased trend in MIC values was observed. Whilst a decrease in MIC values is a positive finding it must also be noted that clinical resistance levels in Staphylococcus aureus for the majority of antimicrobials tested remained high. Consequently, it is clear from this study that drastic action is needed in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.

description: We consider a regular embedded network composed by two curves, one of them closed, in a convex domain $Ω$. The two curves meet only in one point, forming angle of $120$ degrees. The non-closed curve has a fixed end point on $\partialΩ$. We study the evolution by curvature of this network. We show that the maximal existence time depends only on the area enclosed in the initial loop, if the length of the non-closed curve stays bounded from below during the evolution. Moreover, the closed curve shrinks to a point and the network is asymptotically approaching, after dilations and extraction of a subsequence, a Brakke spoon.

description: We introduce a necessary and sufficient criterion for the non-Markovianity of Gaussian quantum dynamical maps based on the violation of divisibility. The criterion is derived by defining a general vectorial representation of the covariance matrix which is then exploited to determine the condition for the complete positivity of partial maps associated to arbitrary time intervals. Such construction does not rely on the Choi-Jamiolkowski representation and does not require optimization over states.

Satellites of LMC-Mass Dwarfs: Close Friendships Ruined by Milky Way Mass Halos

description: Motivated by the recent discovery of several dwarfs near the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), we study the accretion of massive satellites onto Milky Way (MW)/M31-like halos using the ELVIS suite of N-body simulations. We identify 25 surviving LMC-mass subhalos, and investigate the lower-mass satellites that were associated with these subhalos before they fell into the MW/M31 halos. Typically, 7% of the overall z=0 satellite population of MW/M31 halos were in a surviving LMC-group before falling into the MW/M31 halo. This fraction can vary between 1% and 25%, being higher for groups with higher mass and/or more recent infall times. Groups of satellites disperse rapidly in phase space after infall, and their distances and velocities relative to the group center become statistically similar to the overall satellite population after 4-8 Gyr. We quantify the likelihood that satellites were associated with an LMC-mass group as a function of both distance and velocity relative to the LMC at z=0. The close proximity in distance of the nine Dark Energy Survey candidate dwarf galaxies to the LMC suggest that ~2-4 are likely associated with the LMC. Furthermore, if several of these dwarfs are genuine members, then the LMC-group probably fell into the MW very recently, <2 Gyr ago. If the connection with the LMC is established with follow-up velocity measurements, these "satellites of satellites" represent prime candidates to study the affects of group pre-processing on lower mass dwarfs.

description: O Museu de Ciências Naturais Carlos Ritter (MCNCR) é um órgão suplementar do Instituto de Biologia (IB) da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel). Seu acervo é composto majoritariamente por acervo zoológico, sendo a grande maioria acervo entomológico e espécimes taxidermizadas. Inaugurado em 1970, o museu sempre apresentou problemas com relação à documentação do seu acervo e das práticas museológicas, visto que apenas recentemente uma museóloga passou a integrar o quadro de funcionários da equipe. Tendo como base que a documentação é fundamental para o conhecimento dos processos, diversos problemas decorrentes desta lacuna reverberam até hoje. Um desses problemas está relacionado a identificação de um produto em pó, depositado por uma empresa terceirizada no interior das vitrines do espaço expositivo. Com a ausência de documentação em que constasse informações relativas ao produto ou, até mesmo, o registro do nome da empresa no museu, foi necessário a realização de diversas análises físico-químicas (FTIR, Raman, DRX, EDX) para caracterização das substâncias presentes neste produto para avaliar o motivo pelo qual ele foi depositado ali, se é realmente necessário, e sua toxicidade para com as peças e os funcionários do museu, que entram em contato diretamente com essas substâncias desconhecidas sem proteção adequada.

description: Multiple independent radio frequency (RF) beams find applications in communications, radio astronomy, radar, and microwave imaging. An $N$-point FFT applied spatially across an array of receiver antennas provides $N$-independent RF beams at $\frac{N}{2}\log_2N$ multiplier complexity. Here, a low-complexity multiplierless approximation for the 8-point FFT is presented for RF beamforming, using only 26 additions. The algorithm provides eight beams that closely resemble the antenna array patterns of the traditional FFT-based beamformer albeit without using multipliers. The proposed FFT-like algorithm is useful for low-power RF multi-beam receivers; being synthesized in 45 nm CMOS technology at 1.1 V supply, and verified on-chip using a Xilinx Virtex-6 Lx240T FPGA device. The CMOS simulation and FPGA implementation indicate bandwidths of 588 MHz and 369 MHz, respectively, for each of the independent receive-mode RF beams.
