description: Assuming that the lepton, quark and Higgs fields belong to the three-dimensional reducible representation of the permutation group S_3, we suggest a minimal S_3 invariant extension of the standard model. We find that in the leptonic sector, the exact S_3 x Z_2 symmetry, which allows 6 real independent parameters with two CP-violating phases, is consistent with experimental data and predicts a maximal mixing of the atmospheric neutrinos, and that the third neutrino is the lightest neutrino. With the exact S_3 only, there are 10 real parameters and five phases in the quark sector. A set of values of these parameters that are consistent with experimental observations is given.

Quantum Field Theory Is Not Merely Quantum Mechanics Applied to Low Energy Effective Degrees of Freedom

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: It is commonly assumed that quantum field theory arises by applying ordinary quantum mechanics to the low energy effective degrees of freedom of a more fundamental theory defined at ultra-high-energy/short-wavelength scales. We shall argue here that, even for free quantum fields, there are holistic aspects of quantum field theory that cannot be properly understood in this manner. Specifically, the ``subtractions'' needed to define nonlinear polynomial functions of a free quantum field in curved spacetime are quite simple and natural from the quantum field theoretic point of view, but are at best extremely ad hoc and unnatural if viewed as independent renormalizations of individual modes of the field. We illustrate this point by contrasting the analysis of the Casimir effect, the renormalization of the stress-energy tensor in time-dependent spacetimes, and anomalies from the point of quantum field theory and from the point of view of quantum mechanics applied to the independent low energy modes of the field. Some implications for the cosmological constant problem are discussed.

description: This paper presents a modular approach to enhance the capabilities and features of a visualization and teaching room using software. This approach was applied to a room with a large, high resolution (7680$\times$4320 pixels), tiled screen of 13 $\times$ 7.5 feet as its main display, and with a variety of audio and video inputs, connected over a network. Many of the techniques described are possible because of a software-enhanced setup, utilizing existing hardware and a collection of mostly open-source tools, allowing to perform collaborative, high-resolution visualizations as well as broadcasting and recording workshops and lectures. The software approach is flexible and allows one to add functionality without changing the hardware.

Study of the charged super-Chandrasekhar limiting mass white dwarfs in the $f(R,\mathcal{T})$ gravity

description: The equilibrium configuration of white dwarfs composed of a charged perfect fluid are investigated in the context of the $f(R,\mathcal{T})$ gravity, for which $R$ and $\mathcal{T}$ stand for the Ricci scalar and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. By considering the functional form $f(R, \mathcal{T})=R+2χ\mathcal{T}$, where $χ$ is the matter-geometry coupling constant, and for a Gaussian ansatz for the electric distribution, some physical properties of charged white dwarfs were derived, namely: mass, radius, charge, electric field, effective pressure and energy density; their dependence on the parameter $χ$ was also derived. In particular, the $χ$ value important for the equilibrium configurations of charged white dwarfs has the same scale of $10^{-4}$ of that for non-charged stars and the order of the charge was $10^{20}$C, which is scales with the value of one solar mass, i.e., $\sqrt{G}M_\odot\sim 10^{20}$C. We have also shown that charged white dwarf stars in the context of the $f(R,\mathcal{T})$ have surface electric fields generally below the Schwinger limit of $1.3\times 10^{18}$V/m. In particular, a striking feature of the coupling between the effects of charge and $f(R,\mathcal{T})$ gravity theory is that the modifications in the background gravity increase the stellar radius, which in turn diminishes the surface electric field, thus enhancing stellar stability of charged stars. Most importantly, our study reveals that the present $f(R,T)$ gravity model can suitably explain the super-Chandrasekhar limiting mass white dwarfs, which are supposed to be the reason behind the over-luminous SNeIa and remain mostly unexplained in the background of general relativity (GR).

Within this framework we derive all possible energy independent hard wall boundary conditions that are applicable to metallic tubes. The boundary conditions are classified in terms of their symmetry properties and we demonstrate that the use of different boundary conditions will result in varying degrees of valley degeneracy breaking of the single particle energy spectrum.

description: The major theme of the NRC report “Toxicity Testing in the Twenty-first Century” is to replace animal testing by using alternative in vitro methods. Therefore, it can be expected that in the future in vivo data will be replaced with in vitro data. Hence, there is a need for new strategies to make use of the increasing amount of in vitro data when developing human toxicological effect factors (HEF) to characterize the impact category of human toxicity in life cycle assessment (LCA). Here, we present a new approach for deriving HEF for manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) based on the combined use of in vitro toxicity data and a relative potency factor (RPF) approach. In vitro toxicity tests with nano-CuO, nano-Ag and nano-ZnO and their corresponding ions were performed on THP-1, CaCo-2 and Hep-G2 cell lines. The ratio of the here calculated EC50 of the ionic form and the nanoform corresponds to the Relative Potency Factor (RPF). Using this approach, HEFs (case/kgintake) for the aforementioned nanoparticles were obtained. Non-carcinogenic HEFs (case/kgintake) for exposure via ingestion of 5.9E-01, 7.5E-03 and 2.5 E-02 were calculated for nano-Ag, nano-CuO and nano-ZnO, respectively. The HEF values here proposed were compared with HEF values extrapolated from in vivo toxicity data reported in the literature. The here presented procedure is the most appropriate approximation currently available for using in vitro toxicity data on MNM for application in the field of LCIA.

title: The role of airflow in airborne transmission of COVID 19

description: In this paper the spreading of virus for air pathway has been investigated with simple examples using the Navies Stokes equations and their application with uncompressible flow and in presence of convection due to heat transfer. From the results we argue the minimum spacing for safety between persons depends on the ratio between the high and length of a manufact, here shown as a cavity box. We found the best spacing of people is obtained when the ratio is 1:5. That means the safety is to stay as far away as possible or use properly mask. In case of confluence between street and square the NS equations exhibit turbulence at the edges of the system

description: A Phytoremediation experimental set up was established by spiking the soil with varying concentrations of mercury (Hg) (Treatment: T1:10; T2:50; T3:100; T4:500 and T5:1,000 mg Hg/kg soil). Hg removal ability of the Indian mustard plant was determined after 30, 60 and 90 days of exposure. Hg accumulation trend in second and third month of exposure was root > leaf > stem, while for the 1st month it was root > stem > leaf. The highest percentage of Hg accumulation (81%) and glutathione (14 mg/kg) was observed in the plants of T4 and T5 treatment, respectively at 90 days of exposure indicating a high level of Hg stress tolerance. At 90 days of exposure the chlorophyll a content in leaves grown on Hg-free soil (control soil) was 1.8, 2.4, 2.8, 3.6 and 4.4 fold higher than T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 treatment respectively. With increase in exposure duration, translocation factor decreased whereas bioconcentration factor increased signifying Hg is mainly accumulated in the roots. The study suggests that Brassica juncea can withstand under high Hg contamination and can show great potential to phytostabilize Hg when grown under 100 mg/kg of soil Hg without showing any significant detrimental effect on the plant.

description: The trend toward open science increases the pressure on authors to provide access to the source code and data they used to compute the results reported in their scientific papers. Since sharing materials reproducibly is challenging, several projects have developed solutions to support the release of executable analyses alongside articles. We reviewed 11 applications that can assist researchers in adhering to reproducibility principles. The applications were found through a literature search and interactions with the reproducible research community. An application was included in our analysis if it was actively maintained at the time the data for this paper was collected, supports the publication of executable code and data, is connected to the scholarly publication process. By investigating the software documentation and published articles, we compared the applications across 19 criteria, e.g. features that support authors in creating and readers in studying executable papers. From the 11 applications, eight allow publishers to self-host the system for free, whereas three provide paid services. Authors can submit an executable analysis using Jupyter Notebooks or R Markdown documents (10 applications support these formats). All approaches provide features to assist readers in studying the materials, e.g., one-click reproducible results or tools for manipulating the analysis parameters. Six applications allow for modifying materials after publication. The applications support authors to publish reproducible research predominantly with literate programming. Concerning readers, most applications provide user interfaces to inspect and manipulate the computational analysis.

description: After the financial crisis in 1997, the Thai government established and promoted financial services to rural areas to improve the quality of life of rural households and increase the productivity and technical efficiency of farmers. This paper seeks to investigate the impact of financial services on the technical efficiency of rice farmers. Stochastic frontier production functions are estimated using the survey data collected from 656 rice farmers in 2004. The average technical efficiencies of rice farmers were 79 per cent. Factors affecting the technical inefficiencies of rice farmers were land, amount of loans used for major rice production, experience, formal education and age. Hence, government policy that would improve the level of education of farmers and support rural financial services to farmers would lead to a significant increase in the level of technical efficiency of major rice production.

Herein, we have investigated the in vitro cyto-hemocompatibility, in vivo biodistribution, clearance, and toxicity in mice after systemic administration of GdF3 nanoparticles loaded PEGylated mesoporous carbon capsule (GdF3-PMCC)-based theranostic system. In vitro cyto-hemocompatibility study showed a very good biocompatibility up to concentration of 500 µg/ml. Biodistribution studies carried out from 1 h to 8 days showed that GdF3-PMCC was found in major organs, such as liver, kidney, spleen, and muscle till 4th day and it was negligible in any tissue after 8th day. The clearance study was carried out for a period of 8 days and it was observed that the urinary system is the main route of excretion of GdF3-PMCC. The tissue toxicity study was done for 15 days and histopathological analysis indicated that the GdF3-PMCC based theranostic system does not have any adverse effect in tissues. Thus, PMCCs are nontoxic and can be applied as theranostic agents in contrast to the other carbon-based systems (PEGylated carbon nanotubes and PEGylated graphene oxide) which showed significant toxicity.

description: The number of classes of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), besides the well-established short and long ones, remains a debatable issue. It was already shown, however, that when invoking skewed distributions, the $\log T_{90}$ and $\log T_{90} - \log H_{32}$ spaces are adequately modeled with mixtures of only two such components, implying two GRB types. Herein, a comprehensive multivariate analysis of several multi-dimensional parameter spaces is conducted for the BATSE sample of GRBs, with the usage of skewed distributions. It is found that the number of extracted components varies between the examined parameter sets, and ranges from 2 to 4, with higher-dimensional spaces allowing for more classes. A Monte Carlo testing implies that these additional components are likely to be artifacts owing to the finiteness of the data and be a result of examining a particular realization of the data as a random sample, resulting in spurious identifications.

description: Considerable uncertainties, especially those relating to the weather, are present among Australian grazing enterprises. Existing climate prediction tools are not being used effectively in aiding farmers to decide the optimal stocking rate and the levels of other management variables on their pastures. The paper aims to link a biophysical climate simulation model, Aussie GRASS, with an economic model of farm decision making under uncertainty. This model will be used to analyse farmers’ behaviour with respect to weather risk, and to derive optimal pasture management options that result in profitable and sustainable natural resource management on a farm level.

Hirtella

description: 3. Hirtella clade
 Phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1) place C. recurva in a clade with other members of American Hirtella. These results, together with fruit morphological characters, strongly support the inclusion of C. recurva in the genus Hirtella. Hirtella recurva shares with Couepia the greater number of stamens and the usually narrow, elongate receptacle, although this character occurs in a few Hirtella species, e.g. H. tubiflora Cuatrecasas (1950: 59).

description: Recently there has been a renewed interest in the power-2 limb darkening law for modeling exoplanet transits. This law provides a better match to the intensities generated by spherical stellar atmosphere models than other 2-parameter laws. To help facilitate a wider use of the power-2 law we correct a minor error and, expanding on previous work, suggest a parametrization that can improve the sampling required by some numerical methods such as MCMC.

description: Despite compelling evidence that stellar bars drive gas into the inner 1--2 kpc or circumnuclear (CN) region of galaxies, there are few large, high resolution studies of the CN molecular gas and star formation (SF). We study a sample of local barred non-starbursts and starbursts with high-resolution CO, optical, Ha, RC, Br-gamma, and HST data, and find the following. (1) The inner kpc of bars differs markedly the outer disk and hosts molecular gas surface densities Sigma-gas-m of 500-3500 Msun pc-2, gas mass fractions of 10--30 %, and epicyclic frequencies of several 100--1000 km s-1 kpc-1.Consequently, gravitational instabilities can only set in at high gas densities and grow on a short timescale (few Myr). This high density, short timescale, `burst' mode may explain why powerful starbursts tend to be in the CN region of galaxies. (2) We suggest that the variety in CO morphologies is due to different stages of bar-driven inflow. At late stages, most of the CN gas is inside the outer inner Lindblad resonance (OILR), and has predominantly circular motions. Across the sample, we find bar pattern speeds with upper limits of 43 to 115 km s-1 kpc-1 and OILR radii of > 500 pc. (3) Barred starbursts and non-starbursts have CN SFRs of 3--11 and 0.1--2 Msun yr-1, despite similar CN gas mass. Sigma-gas-m in the starbursts is larger (1000--3500 Msun pc-2) and close to the Toomre critical density over a large region. (4) Molecular gas makes up 10%--30% of the CN dynamical mass (6--30 x 10^9 Msun).In the starbursts, it fuels CN SFRs of 3--11 Msun yr-1, building young, massive, high V/sigma components. We present evidence for such a pseudo-bulge in NGC 3351. Implications for secular evolution along the Hubble sequence are discussed.

BACKGROUND: Understanding and meeting the reproductive health needs of adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) is a growing concern since advances in antiretroviral therapy mean that many ALHIV are now living into adulthood and starting to have sex. METHODS: We conducted a mixed-methods study in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia to advance our understanding of the reproductive health needs of ALHIV and to assess the extent to which these needs are being met. We conducted in-depth interviews (IDIs) with 32 ALHIV from two HIV clinics, 23 with their caregivers, and 10 with clinic staff. ALHIV were interviewed twice. We used the data from the qualitative interviews to create a cross-sectional survey that we conducted with 312 ALHIV in three HIV clinics. FINDINGS: The vast majority of ALHIV reported they wanted to have children in the future but lacked knowledge about preventing mother-to-child transmission. Some sexually active adolescents used condoms, although they wanted more information about and access to non-condom methods. Many ALHIV reported that their first sexual encounters were forced. Religious beliefs prevented some caregivers from discussing premarital sex and contraception with ALHIV. Clinic staff and caregivers had mixed views about integrating contraceptive counseling and method provision into HIV care and treatment services. Few sexually active ALHIV reported that they disclosed their HIV status to their sexual partners and few reported that they knew their sexual partner's status. CONCLUSIONS: ALHIV are in dire need of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services and information including a range of contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy, knowledge about preventing mother-to-child transmission and having a healthy pregnancy, skills related to HIV disclosure and condom negotiation to prevent horizontal transmission, and screening for sexual violence for both males and females if services are available.

description: Burdock (Arctium lappa) has a long medicinal history with and is being promoted and recommended as a healthy and nutritive food with great economic importance. However, genetic resources of burdock are insufficient for analysis of molecular biology and genetic functions. Here we combined Illumina and PacBio sequences to generate the first draft genome assembly of A. lappa. The assembled genome is about 1.79 Gb with contig N50 sizes of 6.88 Mb. The 1.70 Gb (95.4%) of the contig sequences were anchored onto 18 chromosomes using Hic data, the scaffold N50 was improved to be 91.64 Mb. We further 1.12Gb (68.46%) repetitive sequences and 32,771 protein-coding genes. These data can be used to develop new methods/ tools to better assemble complex genomes, help find genes related to the quality of burdock, and provide a basis for the research of burdock genetic diversity and germplasm resources evaluation.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: The utilization of foul condensate (FC) collected from a Kraft pulp mill for the anaerobic production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) was tested in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors operated at 22, 37 and 55°C at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of ∼75 h. The FC consisted mainly of 11370, 500 and 592 mg/L methanol, ethanol and acetone, respectively. 42–46% of the organic carbon (methanol, ethanol and acetone) was utilized in the UASB reactors operated at an organic loading of ∼8.6 gCOD/L.d and 52–70% of the utilized organic carbon was converted into VFA. Along with acetate, also propionate, isobutyrate, butyrate, isovalerate and valerate were produced from the FC. Prior to acetogenesis of FC, enrichment of the acetogenic biomass was carried out in the UASB reactors for 113 d by applying operational parameters that inhibit methanogenesis and induce acetogenesis. Activity tests after 158 d of reactor operation showed that the biomass from the 55°C UASB reactor exhibited the highest activity after the FC feed compared to the biomass from the reactors at 22 and 37°C. Activity tests at 37°C to compare FC utilization for CH4 versus VFA production showed that an organic carbon utilization >98% for CH4 production occurred in batch bottles, whereas the VFA production batch bottles showed 51% organic carbon utilization. Furthermore, higher concentrations of C3–C5 VFA were produced when FC was the substrate compared to synthetic methanol rich wastewater.

description: There has been limited empirical research to investigate the way in which farmers respond to market-based instruments intended to encourage their participation in environmental management. This paper is based on a case study of an auction mechanism that is under trial to deliver market incentives to encourage farmers in a saline-affected landscape to contribute to regional biodiversity goals through on-ground works. The case study auction is the Auction for Landscape Recovery which is a pilot currently operating in the north eastern wheatbelt of Western Australia. It is a scheme that aims to create a flexible ‘market’ setting to encourage the participation of farmers to undertake on-farm projects to achieve the multiple benefits of biodiversity conservation, salinity control and water quality improvements. A substantial component of the pilot research is an investigation of the technical aspects of conserving biodiversity across a saline landscape, and how to select tenders to achieve an optimal allocation of the on-ground funding. This paper aims to complement this by investigating the socioeconomic factors that influence farmers’ responses to the market incentives delivered through the auction mechanism. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are presented in the paper to explore the socioeconomic factors that may explain farmers’ decisions regarding participation in the auction. The analysis is based on data from some preliminary farmer interviews.

description: It is shown that in transitively self-similar spatially homogeneous tilted perfect fluid models the symmetry vector is not normal to the surfaces of spatial homogeneity. A direct consequence of this result is that there are no self-similar Bianchi VIII and IX tilted perfect fluid models. Furthermore the most general Bianchi VIII and IX spacetime which admit a four dimensional group of homotheties is given.
