description: We construct a family of (p+3)-dimensional brane worlds in which the brane has one compact extra dimension, the bulk has two extra dimensions, and the bulk closes regularly at codimension two submanifolds known as bolts. The (p+1)-dimensional low energy spacetime M_{low} may be any Einstein space with an arbitrary cosmological constant, the value of the bulk cosmological constant is arbitrary, and the only fields are the metric and a bulk Maxwell field. The brane can be chosen to have positive tension, and the closure of the bulk provides a singularity-free boundary condition for solutions that contain black holes or gravitational waves in M_{low}. The spacetimes admit a nonlinear gravitational wave whose properties suggest that the Newtonian gravitational potential on a flat M_{low} will behave essentially as the static potential of a massless minimally coupled scalar field with Neumann boundary conditions. When M_{low} is (p+1)-dimensional Minkowski with p\ge3 and the bulk cosmological constant vanishes, this static scalar potential is shown to have the long distance behaviour characteristic of p spatial dimensions.

description: A sustained groundswell of grassroots advocacy is required to trigger the urgent action required to solve our many global environmental problems. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics, issue focus, tactics and targets of this grassroots advocacy, we analyzed the website communications of 497 environmental movement organizations (EMOs) undertaking advocacy in Australia. Findings indicate that Conservation and Protection issues continue to dominate, although a wave of new climate change-related issue groups have emerged in recent years. Almost half of all groups operate at a local level. EMO websites suggest that their actions are primarily normative (vs. radical), and focus primarily on information provision. Of the 960 campaign targets identified, just over half were political, however, climate change, renewable energy and sustainability campaigns more often targeted individuals or business entities. We identify the areas where further investigation could advance the research agenda on grassroots environmental advocacy.

description: This study analyzes the level and determinants of technical efficiency of soybean farms in the Saboba and Chereponi districts of northern Ghana. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 200 soybean farmers from which cross-sectional data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Data collected includes farmers’ socio-economic characteristics such as age and education as well as input and output quantities and prices. Data was analyzed using the stochastic frontier approach. Results showed a mean technical efficiency estimate of 53 percent and the return to scale was 0.75. Location of farm, participation in the Agricultural Value Chain Mentorship Project and age of farmer were found to be important in explaining technical inefficiency among soybean farmers. This implies that farmers in the short run can increase their production by 47 percent by adopting practices of the best soybean farms in Saboba and Chereponi districts of northern Ghana.

description: We compute the electromagnetic form factors of the proton and neutron using lattice QCD with $N_f = 2 + 1 + 1$ twisted mass clover-improved fermions and quark masses tuned to their physical values. Three ensembles with lattice spacings of $a$=0.080 fm, 0.068 fm, and 0.057 fm, and approximately the same physical volume allow us to obtain the continuum limit directly at the physical pion mass. Several values of the source-sink time separation ranging from 0.5 fm to 1.5 fm are used, enabling a thorough analysis of excited state effects via multi-state fits. The disconnected contributions are analyzed using high statistics for the two-point functions combined with low-mode deflation and hierarchical probing for the fermion loop estimation. We study the momentum dependence of the form factors using the z-expansion and dipole Ansaetze, thereby enabling the extraction of the electric and magnetic radii, as well as the magnetic moments in the continuum limit, for which we provide preliminary results.

description: A transfer-matrix formalism is introduced to evaluate exactly the partition function of the Munoz-Eaton model, relating the folding kinetics of proteins of known structure to their thermodynamics and topology. This technique can be used for a generic protein, for any choice of the energy and entropy parameters, and in principle allows the model to be used as a first tool to characterize the dynamics of a protein of known native state and equilibrium population. Applications to a $β$-hairpin and to protein CI-2, with comparisons to previous results, are also shown.

description: Media coverage of climate change impacts and adaptation will likely influence how citizens think society can and should adapt. Here, we undertook the first analysis of UK newspaper adaptation coverage. We identified five prominent adaptation narratives: (1) the government should build more flood defences, (2) home owners should buy flood insurance, (3) individuals should become more informed, (4) the farming industry should innovate, (5) and the natural environment should fight for its survival. We find that only some of the more immediate climate change impacts likely to affect the UK are presented as necessitating a response. The government is considered primarily responsible while UK citizens are given few and narrow responsibilities. The range of adaptive actions under consideration is limited and unchallenging to the status quo. In summary, newspaper coverage presents a restricted view as to when the UK should adapt and how it could adapt.

description: The problem of the electromagnetic coupling for spin 3/2 fields is discussed. Following supergravity and some recent works in the field of classical supersymmetric particles, we find that the electromagnetic coupling must not obey a minimal coupling in the sense that one needs to consider not only the electromagnetic potential but also the coupling of the electromagnetic field strenght. This coupling coincides with the one found by Ferrara {\it et al} by requiring that the gyromagnetic ratio be 2. Coupling with non-Abelian Yang-Mills fields is also discussed.

description: We present a long BeppoSAX observation of Abell 754 that reports a nonthermal excess with respect to the thermal emission at energies greater than ~45 keV. A VLA radio observation at 1.4 GHz definitely confirms the existence of diffuse radio emission in the central region of the cluster, previously suggested by images at 74 and 330 MHz (Kassim et al 2001), and reports additional features. Besides, our observation determines a steeper radio halo spectrum in the 330-1400 MHz frequency range with respect to the spectrum detected at lower frequencies, indicating the presence of a spectral cutoff. The presence of a radio halo in A754, considered the prototype of a merging cluster, reinforces the link between formation of Mpc-scale radio regions and very recent or current merger processes. The radio results combined with the hard X-ray excess detected by BeppoSAX give information on the origin of the electron population responsible for nonthermal phenomena in galaxy clusters. We discuss also the possibility that 26W20, a tailed radio galaxy with BL Lac characteristics located in the field of view of the PDS, could be responsible for the observed nonthermal hard X-ray emission.

description: We study the scaling dimension $Δ_{ϕ^n}$ of the operator $ϕ^n$ where $ϕ$ is the fundamental complex field of the $U(1)$ model at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in $d=4-\varepsilon$. Even for a perturbatively small fixed point coupling $λ_*$, standard perturbation theory breaks down for sufficiently large $λ_*n$. Treating $λ_* n$ as fixed for small $λ_*$ we show that $Δ_{ϕ^n}$ can be successfully computed through a semiclassical expansion around a non-trivial trajectory, resulting in $$ Δ_{ϕ^n}=\frac{1}{λ_*}Δ_{-1}(λ_* n)+Δ_{0}(λ_* n)+λ_* Δ_{1}(λ_* n)+\ldots $$ We explicitly compute the first two orders in the expansion, $Δ_{-1}(λ_* n)$ and $Δ_{0}(λ_* n)$. The result, when expanded at small $λ_* n$, perfectly agrees with all available diagrammatic computations. The asymptotic at large $λ_* n$ reproduces instead the systematic large charge expansion, recently derived in CFT. Comparison with Monte Carlo simulations in $d=3$ is compatible with the obvious limitations of taking $\varepsilon=1$, but encouraging.

description: A leading-order analysis of E866/NuSea and NA3 Drell-Yan data in nuclei is carried out. At Fermilab energy, the large uncertainties in the amount of sea quark shadowing prohibit clarifying the origin of the nuclear dependence observed experimentally. On the other hand, the small shadowing contribution to the Drell-Yan process in pi- A collisions at SPS allows one to set tight constraints on the energy loss of fast quarks in nuclear matter. We find the transport coefficient to be q = 0.24+/-0.18 GeV/fm^2 that corresponds to a mean energy loss per unit length -dE/dz = 0.20+/-0.15 GeV/fm for E > 50 GeV quarks in a large (A=200) nucleus.

description: Despite scientific consensus, a partisan divide persists among Americans over the existence and causes of climate change. One body of research explains this divide by positing that individuals tend to uphold the expectations of their cultural groups in order to protect their social standing and community’s values. To determine whether such identity-protective thinking about scientific evidence can be countered when it impedes acceptance of scientific findings, we conducted an experiment to test the effects of analytic processing of a single graph capturing yearly global temperature trend data, with or without excerpts of either a NASA spokesperson or President Obama characterizing the same climate findings. The results indicate that climate-specific identity protection affects both liberals and conservatives but can be curtailed among both when they closely consider credible graphical climate data in a context invoking accuracy rather than partisan motivations.
Zeroes of the Jones polynomial

description: We study the distribution of zeroes of the Jones polynomial $V_K(t)$ for a knot $K$. We have computed numerically the roots of the Jones polynomial for all prime knots with $N\leq 10$ crossings, and found the zeroes scattered about the unit circle $|t|=1$ with the average distance to the circle approaching a nonzero value as $N$ increases. For torus knots of the type $(m,n)$ we show that all zeroes lie on the unit circle with a uniform density in the limit of either $m$ or $n\to \infty$, a fact confirmed by our numerical findings. We have also elucidated the relation connecting the Jones polynomial with the Potts model, and used this relation to derive the Jones polynomial for a repeating chain knot with $3n$ crossings for general $n$. It is found that zeroes of its Jones polynomial lie on three closed curves centered about the points $1, i$ and $-i$. In addition, there are two isolated zeroes located one each near the points $t_\pm = e^{\pm 2πi/3}$ at a distance of the order of $3^{-(n+2)/2}$. Closed-form expressions are deduced for the closed curves in the limit of $n\to \infty$.

Our approach is absolutely different from the ones using algebraic or differential topology or differential calculus and is based on a simple observation which somehow escaped many authors treating this theorem in the past.

description: The geomorphology of the Mariana Trench, the deepest ocean trench on the Earth, has a complex character: its transverse profile is asymmetric, the slopes are higher on the side of the Mariana island arc. The shape of the Mariana Trench is a strongly elongated, arched in plan and lesser rectilinear depression. The slopes of the trench are dissected by deep underwater canyons with various narrow steps on the slopes of various shapes and sizes, caused by active tectonic and sedimentation processes. Understanding of factors that may affect the shape of the geomorphology of such complex structure requires advanced methods of numerical computing. Current research is focused on the analysis of the geomorphology of the Mariana Trench by application of statistical libraries embedded in Python and R programming languages for the data analysis. Workflow algorithms include processing a data set by analysis, computing and visual plotting of the graphs. The research aims is to understand the environmental interactions affecting submarine geomorphology of the Mariana Trench by statistical data analysis. Technically, used algorithms included libraries of Python (Seaborn, Matplotlib, Pandas, SciPy and NumPy) and libraries of R ({hexbin}, {ggally}, {ggplot2}). Technically, following types of the statistical analysis were tested for computing and plotting: correlograms, histograms, strip plots, ridgeline plots and hexagonal diagrams for the bathymetric and geomorphic analysis. Python, being a high-level language, shown more straightforward approach for the statistical data analysis, while R implies more power in the data visualization. The results of the geospatial data modelling show detected correlation between various factors (geology, bathymetry, tectonics) affecting submarine geomorphology that reveal unevenness in its structure. Both programming languages demonstrated significant functionality for the spatial data analysis. The effective and accurate geospatial data visualization demonstrated by Python and R proves high potential of their application in the geomorphological studies.

description: We present the Bayesian Asteroseismology data Modeling (BAM) pipeline, an automated asteroseismology pipeline that returns global oscillation parameters and granulation parameters from the analysis of photometric time-series. BAM also determines if a star is likely to be a solar-like oscillator. We have designed BAM to specially process ${\it K2}$ light curves, which suffer from unique noise signatures that can confuse asteroseismic analysis, though it may be used on any photometric time series --- including those from ${\it Kepler}$ and ${\it TESS}$. We demonstrate the BAM oscillation parameters are consistent within $\sim 1.53\%\ (\mathrm{random}) \pm 0.2\%\ (\mathrm{systematic})$ and $1.51\%\ (\mathrm{random}) \pm 0.6\%\ (\mathrm{systematic})$ for $ν_{\mathrm{max}}$ and $Δν$ with benchmark results for typical ${\it K2}$ red giant stars in the ${\it K2}$ Galactic Archaeology Program's (GAP) Campaign 1 sample. Application of BAM to $13016$ ${\it K2}$ Campaign 1 targets not in the GAP sample yields $104$ red giant solar-like oscillators. Based on the number of serendipitous giants we find, we estimate an upper limit on the average purity in dwarf selection among C1 proposals is $\approx 99\%$, which could be lower when considering incompleteness in BAM detection efficiency, and proper motion cuts specific to C1 Guest Observer proposals.

It is shown that the classical motion of the gears in which the angular velocities are locked together does not correspond to a solution of the quantum problem. The general solution for several gears is discussed and the correspondence to the classical behaviour established.

description: In the US, federal environmental policies tend to be implemented by subnational agencies through intergovernmental management systems, which results in state governments serving as agents of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Therefore, principal-agent dynamics create a key challenge for implementing federal environmental policies, as goal incongruence and information asymmetries lead to conflict. As such, we argue some best practices are those that mitigate principal-agent problems by reducing information asymmetries, or aligning actions with the expectations of both principals and agents. Drawing data from the EPA’s evaluations of state programs, the authors identify and examine 68 best practices. Findings suggest that viewing implementation of federal environmental policies as an exercise in managing principal-agent dynamics can help reduce conflicts between organizations working together to address complex environmental problems.

description: Robust statistics aims to compute quantities to represent data where a fraction of it may be arbitrarily corrupted. The most essential statistic is the mean, and in recent years, there has been a flurry of theoretical advancement for efficiently estimating the mean in high dimensions on corrupted data. While several algorithms have been proposed that achieve near-optimal error, they all rely on large data size requirements as a function of dimension. In this paper, we perform an extensive experimentation over various mean estimation techniques where data size might not meet this requirement due to the high-dimensional setting.

The current study also analyzes the impact of multiple-imputation on regression results, when all the variables in the regression have missing observations. Finally, the current study compares the impact of univariate multiple imputation with multivariate normal multiple imputation, when some of the missing variables have discrete distribution. The results of the current study show that multivariate-normal multiple imputation performs better than univariate multiple imputation model, and overall both methods improve the efficiency of regression estimates.

description: Hawking radiation is viewed as a tunnelling process. In this way the effect of self-gravitation gives rise to semiclassical corrections to the entropy of the (2+1) BTZ black hole. The modified entropy, due to specific modelling of the self-gravitation effect, of the (2+1) BTZ black hole is evaluated. To first order in $ω$ which is a shell of energy radiated outwards the event horizon of the BTZ black hole, modified entropy is proportional to the horizon. In this semiclassical analysis, corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula $S_{BH}=\mathcal{A}_{H} / 4l_{P}^{2}$ are found to be negative and the proportionality factor connecting the modified entropy, $S_{bh}$, of the (2+1) BTZ black hole to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, $S_{BH}$, is evaluated to first order in $ω$.

description: An analysis of a 29 ksec Chandra ACIS-S observation of the young, Cassiopeia-A like supernova remnant in the irregular galaxy NGC 4449 is presented. The observed 0.5-2.1 keV spectrum reveals the likely presence of several emission lines including O VIII at 0.65 keV and 0.77 keV, Ne X at 1.05 keV, Mg XI at 1.5 keV, and Si XIII at 1.85 keV. From the observed spectrum, we derive an N_H = 10^21 cm^-2 and an X-ray temperature of T = 9 * 10^6 K. A non-equilibrium ionization fit to the spectrum suggests an overabundance of oxygen around 20 times solar, consistent with the remnant's UV and optical emission-line properties. We discuss tht remnant's approximate X-ray derived elemental abundances and compare its X-ray spectrum and luminosity to other oxygen-rich remnants.

description: Brinjal is the second most important vegetable crop after potato in Bangladesh in respect of total areas and third in production. It also plays a vital role in the national economy as a cash crop. An experiment was conducted with two cultivars of brinjal namely Jhumky and Islampuri to observe the callus induction ability of different explants-shoot tip, hypocotyl and midrib in MS basal media supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of growth regulators. The rate of callus induction from shoot tip, hypocotyl and midrib were 82.78%, 74.88% and 78.71%, respectively. Highest rate of callus induction was found in shoot tip. Variety Islampuri showed higher rate of callus induction (80.62%). Among the treatments 2mg/l NAA showed the best performance in callus proliferation. Cytokinin (0.5 mg/l BAP) showed highest percentage of shoot regeneration (57.13%). For root induction, MS basal medium was proved to be better treatment for average number (12-15) of roots. The survival rate of transferred regenerated plantlets after hardening was higher in Jhumky (80%). Regenerated plantlets from callus of both the varieties exhibited 4-9 times higher proline, 2-3 times lower vitamin C and 2-3 times higher iron (Fe) content compared to their seed derived seedlings. This experiment showed that it is possible to develop shoot and fruit borer tolerance brinjal genotypes through somatic embryogenesis that was selected based on biochemical markers within the very short period of time. These findings will be helpful for further selection of the selected variants in field condition in the next phase of the study.

description: Prehospital care of severe trauma patients often involves endotracheal intubation (ETI), which has complications. The frequency and predictors of post-ETI hypotension and cardiac arrest are not well defined in this population. We sought to derive and validate a scoring system that predicts post-ETI hypotension in prehospital patients and to describe the impact of hypotension on outcome. We performed an observational cohort study including normotensive adult trauma patients requiring ETI, treated from 2001 to 2018 by critical care transport providers in a regional air medical transport system. We divided eligible patients into a derivation cohort (2001–2010) and validation cohort (2011–2018) for analysis. We identified predictors of new systolic hypotension (<90 mmHg) or cardiac arrest within 15 minutes of ETI then developed and validated a scoring system that stratified patients into low, moderate and high risk. We included 4,866 subjects, 3,127 in the derivation and 1,739 in the validation cohort. Post-ETI hypotension occurred in 11% and 21%, respectively; 5% of each cohort experienced post-ETI cardiac arrest. Major independent predictors of post-ETI hypotension were age, pre-ETI systolic blood pressure and pre-ETI oxygen saturation. We developed a well-calibrated scoring system based on these major and several minor risk factors. Applying our system, 890 (33%) derivation patients and 550 (37%) validation patients were higher risk for post-ETI adverse outcomes. Of these, 21% and 33% respectively experienced post-ETI hypotension and 6% and 4%, respectively suffered post-ETI cardiac arrest. Patients at high risk for post-ETI hypotension or arrest are common and identifiable in prehospital trauma care.
