description: In the quest of new thermoelectric (TE) materials with high power factors, full-Heusler compounds having flat band are found to be promising candidates. In this direction, Fe$_{2}$ScX (X=P,As,Sb) compounds are investigated using mBJ for the band gap and SCAN to describe the electronic bands and phonon properties for TE applications. The band gaps obtained from mBJ are 0.81 eV, 0.69 eV and 0.60 eV for Fe$_{2}$ScX compounds, respectively. The phonon dispersion, phonon density of states (DOS) and partial DOS are calculated. The phonon contributions to specific heat are obtained as a function of temperature under harmonic approximation. The electronic band structutre calculated from mBJ and SCAN functionals are qualitatively compared. The TE parameters are calculated for both hole and electron dopings under semiclassical theory. We use simple, but reasonable method to estimate phonon relaxation time ($τ_{ph}$). Using the specific heat, estimated $τ_{ph}$ and slopes (phase velocity) of acoustic branches in the linear region, lattice thermal conductivity ($κ_{ph}$) at 300 K is calculated for three compounds. The obtained values of $κ_{ph}$ with constant $τ_{ph}$ are 18.2, 13.6 and 10.3 $Wm^{-1}K^{-1}$, respectively. Finally, the temperature dependent figure of merit $ZT$ values are calculated for optimal carrier concentrations in the doping range considered, to evaluate the materials for TE application. The $ZT$ values for n-type Fe$_{2}$ScX, in 900-1200 K, are 0.34-0.43, 0.40-0.48 and 0.45-0.52, respectively. While, the p-type Fe$_{2}$ScX have $ZT$ of 0.25-0.34, 0.20-0.28 and 0.18-0.26, respectively in the same temperature range. The $ZT$ values suggest that, Fe$_{2}$ScX compounds can be promising materials in high temperature power generation application on successful synthesis and further $κ_{ph}$ reduction by methods like nanostructuring.

description: We briefly discuss the status of the NNLL QCD calculations in the inclusive rare B decay $B \to X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$. Two important ingredients, the two-loop matrix elements of the four quark operator ${\cal O}_2$ and the bremsstrahlung contributions, were quite recently finalised. The new contributions significantly improve the sensitivity of the inclusive decay $B \to X_s l^+ l^-$ decay in testing extensions of the standard model in the sector of flavour dynamics; for instance the two-loop calculation cuts the low- scale uncertainty in half and the bremsstrahlung calculation leads to a 10% shift of the position of the zero of the forward- backward asymmetry.

description: Microbialites are sedimentary structures that represent modern models of the oldest life forms, stromatolites (<3.5 Ga), and are relevant for evolutionary and ecological studies. Cenote Azul is a deep (>90 m) karst sinkhole in the Yucatan peninsula characterized by microbialites that develop along its wall and hydrogeochemistry defined by the saturation of carbonate, sulfate and calcium ions. In this study, high throughput sequence analysis of 16S rRNA genes allowed characterization of the prokaryotic communities associated with microbialites in a depth profile. The most represented phyla were Proteobacteria (23.6–30.1%), Planctomycetes (11.6–13.8%), Cyanobacteria (9.7–16.5%), Acidobacteria (6.1–8.3%), Rokubacteria (4.1–7.8%), Chloroflexi (3.3–4.4%), Nitrospirae (3.5–4.6%), Actinobacteria (2.6–5%) Bacteroidetes (1.7–4.1%) and Thaumarchaeota (7.5–11.1%). Phylogenetic distance analyses described two distinct clusters of microbialites: Shallow (5 and 10 m) and Deep (20 and 30 m). The dominant diversity at the phylum level of the prokaryotic community described in this system is similar to that of other microbialites from different environments, but differences are reported at the classification level of order, family and genus. The mineral composition of the Cenote Azul microbialites has calcite as the main constituent mineral (∼97%). Finally, this work establishes a baseline on the presence of microbialites and its relation to depth in the sinkholes of the Yucatan peninsula and stimulates the monitoring of these communities as a tool for the conservation of sites with high tourism pressure.

description: Over the past three decades, several studies have analyzed the response of calorie intake to income with varying and inconclusive results. This paper review these studies and employs meta-analysis to examine the potential bias in the calorie-income elasticity, as well as the impact of specific study attributes on these elasticities reported in the empirical literature. A total of 40 studies which yielded 99 estimated elasticities were considered. The results show the presence of publication (reporting) selection bias in the reported elasticities. Besides, the estimates revealed evidence of positive and significant empirical effect of income on calorie intake from all the studies that goes beyond publication bias. Study attributes such as ranking of the journal, panel data used in the analysis, whether expenditure was used as proxy for income, year of primary survey, sample size, and numbers of the years of primary data were found to have significant impacts on the reported calorie-income elasticities in the literature.

description: We systematically investigate the influence of high pressure on the electronic transport properties of layered ferromagnetic materials, in particular, those of Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$. Its crystal sustains a hexagonal phase under high pressures up to 25.9 GPa, while the Curie temperature decreases monotonously with the increasing pressure. By applying appropriate pressures, the experimentally measured anomalous Hall conductivity, $σ_{xy}^A$, can be efficiently controlled. Our theoretical study reveals that this finding can be attributed to the shift of the spin--orbit-coupling-induced splitting bands of Fe atoms. With loading compression, $σ_{xy}^A$ reaches its maximal value when the Fermi level lies inside the splitting bands and then attenuates when the splitting bands float above the Fermi level. Further compression leads to a prominent suppression of the magnetic moment, which is another physical cause of the decrease in $σ_{xy}^A$ at high pressure. These results indicate that the application of pressure is an effective approach in controlling the anomalous Hall conductivity of layered magnetic materials, which elucidates the physical mechanism of the large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect.

description: Fission product yields are key infrastructure data for nuclear applications in many aspects. It is a challenge both experimentally and theoretically to obtain accurate and complete energy-dependent fission yields. We apply the Bayesian neural network (BNN) approach to learn existed fission yields and predict unknowns with uncertainty quantification. We demonstrated that BNN is particularly useful for evaluations of fission yields when incomplete experimental data are available. The BNN results are quite satisfactory on distribution positions and energy dependencies of fission yields.

description: If A is a finite alphabet, Z^D is a D-dimensional lattice, U is a subset of Z^D, and mu_U is a probability measure on A^U that ``looks like'' the marginal projection of a stationary random field on A^(Z^D), then can we ``extend'' mu_U to such a field? Under what conditions can we make this extension ergodic, (quasi)periodic, or (weakly) mixing? After surveying classical work on this problem when D = 1, we provide some sufficient conditions and some necessary conditions for mu_U to be extendible for D > 1, and show that, in general, the problem is not formally decidable.

description: Despite the wealth of information freely available via a range of media, farmers lack both confidence and many of the capabilities to develop their own written strategic business plans. The fact that most farmers do not have a formal strategic plan for their business is testimony to this. Information per se is unlikely to be constraining individuals in completing this task since it is widely available and has been promulgated by the extension agencies in the past. This suggests that the 'one-way' approach to technology transfer is inappropriate for developing business management capabilities amongst the farming community. Our aim was to test the effectiveness of a participatory workshop on farm business management to help individuals build and apply new knowledge and skills in strategic management, specifically planning and control. The workshop was designed to allow participants to develop their knowledge and skills by writing their own farm strategy. Adult learning principles were utilised in the workshop design. Participants were able to integrate and apply their existing knowledge and experience within a conceptual framework. The workshop exceeded the expectations of all of the participants. They gained greater confidence to plan for the future and in their own ability to learn.

description: Metabolic flexibility controls microbial survival and shapes ecological structures. Although the utilization of a variety of substrates has been studied for individual metabolically versatile microorganisms, only little is known about the response of microbial communities toward substrate fluctuation. Here, we exposed a phototrophic co-culture (Rhodopseudomonas sp. and Chlorobium sp.) that was isolated from a littoral freshwater sediment to a variety of substrates (acetate, Fe(II), or H2) and followed the abundance of individual microbial partners based on their characteristic light absorption pattern. Chlorobium sp. dominated the culture when Fe(II) was supplied, whereas Rhodopseudomonas sp. decreased below detection. Rhodopseudomonas sp. dominated when the co-culture was transferred onto acetate (Chlorobium sp. below detection). When grown on H2, the dominance pattern depended on pre-culture conditions. Pre-cultures on Fe(II) or acetate resulted in dominance of Chlorobium sp. or Rhodopseudomonas sp., respectively. Although the relative abundance of the two partner strains strictly relies on substrate availability, we were incapable of isolating Chlorobium sp. from the co-culture. Our study shows how substrate fluctuations shape microbial distribution and points toward potential community interactions that enable microbial survival.

The Last Plague : Investigating the Lethality of Pandemics Using Deterministic and Stochastic Epidemic Models

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This project investigates the effects of seven parameters on the spread of viral epidemics: infectivity, infectious period, mobility, incubation period, mortality, immunity and recovery period. Two algorithms were created to simulate the progression – one stochastic, and one deterministic. While the deterministic model simulates the spread through regulating the flux between compartments, the stochastic model simulates the spread by applying the parameters as a set of probabilities. The models were calibrated with current data on SARS and Ebola from WHO. Using optimization methods, we found the characteristics of viral diseases that would lead to the most lethal disease, marked by death rates of 92.26% of the world population in the deterministic model and 98.76% in the stochastic model. By investigating the effect of each parameter on the disease, we found that the key factors in regulating the spread of an epidemic are percentage immunity, mobility and recovery rate.

description: Concern over energy security and the greenhouse gases emissions associated with burning fossil fuels has led to increased national interest in bioenergy production. In the United States, adoption of a Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requires domestic production of renewable fuels to increase from 14 billion gallons per year (according to the Renewable Fuels Association) to 36 billion gallons per year by 2022. Woody biomass could be a significant component of an RFS portfolio. Woody biomass is collected from logging residue, forest thinning, and small diameter timber. These forest products can be sustainably harvested, and are predictable and reliable in terms of production. Woody biomass has potential to become a primary bioenergy feedstock for heat and co-fire power plants as well as cellulosic-derived biofuels. The QUESTION remains how much and what kind of woody biomass can be sustainability supplied, where is this likely to occur, and at what price will woody biomass products be available?

description: We consider price and inventory decisions in a make-to-stock system from the perspectives of a profit-maximizing server and a social planner in which customers are delay-sensitive. Under two information cases (i.e. an almost unobservable case and a fully observable case), customers decide whether to purchase the product based on their utility. The utility is closely related to whether the inventory of the product is available, the product’s price, and the waiting time. We first investigate the optimal decision in the almost unobservable case. In this case, the server’s inventory strategy depends on the relationship between the unit holding cost of the product and the unit waiting cost of the customer. Additionally, the system utilization factor also affects the inventory strategy. Then, we analyse the corresponding results in the fully observable case. The results illustrate that, in both cases, profit maximization and welfare maximization lead to different pricing and inventory strategies. Finally, the numerical results show that the optimal price is sensitive to delay information, whereas the optimal stock level is not.

description: Sintered samples of MgB2 were irradiated in a fission reactor. Defects in the bulk microstructure are produced during this process mainly by the 10B(n,a)7Li reaction while collisions of fast neutrons with the lattice atoms induce much less damage. Self-shielding effects turn out to be very important and lead to a highly inhomogeneous defect distribution in the irradiated samples. The resulting disorder enhances the normal state resistivity and the upper critical field. The irreversibility line shifts to higher fields at low temperatures and the measured critical current densities increase following irradiation.

description: Extremely High energy peaked BL Lac (EHBL) objects are a special class of blazars with peculiar observational properties at X-ray and $γ$--ray energies. The observations of these sources indicate hard X-ray and $γ$--ray spectra and absence of rapid flux variations in the multi-wavelength light curves. These observational features challenge the leptonic models for blazars due to unusually hard particle spectrum in the emission region of the blazar jet and provide a strong motivation for exploring alternative scenarios to interpret the broad-band emission from blazars. At present, only few TeV blazars have been observed as EHBL objects in the extragalactic Universe. Due to their hard $γ$--ray spectra and long term variability, the observations of EHBL type of blazars at different redshifts help in probing the cosmic magnetic field and extragalactic background light in the Universe. Such objects also provide astrophysical sites to explore the particle acceleration mechanisms like magnetic reconnection and second order Fermi acceleration. Therefore, it has become important to identify more objects as EHBL using the observations available in the literature. Recent studies on the blazar Mrk 501 indicate that this source may exhibit an EHBL behaviour. In this paper, we use long term observations of Mrk 501 to explore its nature.

description: A new representation for solutions of Maxwell's equations is derived. Instead of being expanded in plane waves, the solutions are given as linear superpositions of spherical wavelets dynamically adapted to the Maxwell field and well-localized in space at the initial time. The wavelet representation of a solution is analogous to its Fourier representation, but has the advantage of being local. It is closely related to the relativistic coherent-state representations for the Klein-Gordon and Dirac fields developed in earlier work.

description: High-throughput sequencing approach of the 16S rRNA gene was employed to evaluate the bacterial diversity inhabit in melted water, snow, soil, and rocks samples at the lower altitudes of the Laohugou glacial environment. Bioinformatics tools were used to process millions of Illumina reads for alpha and beta diversities of bacterial communities. The diversity indices such as Chao, Shannon, and Simpson were different in the collected samples and solid samples (soil and rocks) showed higher taxon richness and evenness. Taxonomic diversity was unexpectedly higher and the major portion of sequences was assigned to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Acidobacteria. Higher variation in community structure was reported at the class level and Alphaproteobacteria was dominant. The solid niches were occupied by a higher number of phyla compared with liquid. The physicochemical variables acted as spatial gradients and associated with the bacterial structural communities of the glacial ecosystem. Findings showed that both Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria in solid samples influenced the bacterial community structure in downstream liquid samples. Interestingly, the metagenomic biomarkers were higher in liquid samples. This study provides precious datasets to understand the bacterial community in a better way under the influence of spatial, physical and environmental factors.

description: The Maximum Likelihood method estimates the parameter values of a statistical model that maximize the corresponding likelihood function, given the sample information. This is the primal approach that, in this paper, is presented as a mathematical programming specification whose solution requires the formulation of a Lagrange problem. A remarkable result of this setup is that the Lagrange multipliers associated with the linear statistical model (regarded as a set of constraints) is equal to the vector of residuals scaled by the variance of those residuals. The novel contribution of this paper consists in developing the dual model of the Maximum Likelihood method under normality assumptions. This model minimizes a function of the variance of the error terms subject to orthogonality conditions between the errors and the space of explanatory variables. An intuitive interpretation of the dual problem appeals to basic elements of information theory and establishes that the dual maximizes the net value of the sample information. This paper presents the dual ML model for a single regression and for a system of seemingly unrelated regressions.

Corynoneura guanacaste

description: Corynoneura guanacaste sp. n.
(Fig. 17)
Type material. Holotype male, COSTA RICA, Guanacaste, Caccao, 3–7.v.1993, T. Andersen, ZMBN n°chi 20080.
 Diagnostic characters. The adult males are separable from other species with the attachment of the phallapodeme caudal on the sternapodeme, and s-seta on the apex of hind tibia by the superior volsella rounded bearing long seta directed to posteromedian, inferior volsella large and rectangular and aedeagal lobe pointed.
 Etymology. This species is named after the province of Guanacaste (Costa Rica) where the specimen was sampled. The specific epithet is treated as a noun in apposition.
 Description
 Male (n = 1)
Total length. 1.36 mm. Wing length 0.59 mm.
Color. Thorax brownish. Abdominal tergites I–II whitish, other tergites and genitalia brownish. Legs whitish.
Head. AR = 0.72. Antenna with 9 flagellomeres, apical flagellomere 220 µm. Flagellomeres with more than one row of setae each. Antennal apex as in figure 17 A. Eyes pubescent.
Thorax. Antepronotal lobes dorsally tapering (Fig. 17 B).
Wing. Clavus/wing length 0.24. Anal lobe absent (Fig. 17 D).
Legs. Hind tibial scale 37–42 µm long, with one s-seta (Fig. 17 C).
Hypopygium (Figs 17 E–F). Tergite IX with 2 setae. Laterosternite IX apparently without setae. Superior volsella rounded bearing long setae medially directed. Inferior volsella large and rectangular. Aedeagal lobe pointed. Transverse sternapodeme straight, phallapodeme caudal attached. Phallapodeme spatula-shaped. Gonostylus with a low crista dorsalis.
Metric and meristic features in Table 1.
 Remarks. Corynoneura guanacaste sp. n. hypopygium has a pointed aedeagal lobe and a distinct inferior volsella similarly to C. septadentata Wiedenbrug et Trivinho-Strixino, however the long setae directed to median on the superior volsella and the size of the inferior volsella separate this two species.
The species is only known from the type locality, Guanacaste Province in Costa Rica.

description: Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and aerobic methane oxidizing-bacteria (MOB) were studied in three extreme soils of the former Lake Texcoco, Mexico, with pH ranging from 8.5 to 10.5 and electrolytic conductivity (EC) from 0.67 to 84.76 dS m−1, and in two arable soils. Soil DNA was extracted with three different methods and total DNA was used as a template to amplify the pmoA and amoA functional genes and subsequently sequenced by pyrosequencing. The amoA gene sequences clustered as uncultured AOB dominated in the Texcoco soils, while Nitrosospira was dominant in the arable soils. Sequences of MOB associated with Nitrosococcus-rel (Type I) dominated (>85%) in the Texcoco soils, but they were more diverse in the arable soils, for example, JR2, JR3, Methylocaldum USC-g (Type I), USC-a (Type II) and gp23 (pxmA). Aerobic methane oxidizing-bacteria and AOB microbial diversity were significantly related to EC and pH (p

description: Interaction of Higgs scalar (H) with weak gauge bosons (V=W,Z) is the {\it key} to understand electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) mechanism. New physics effects in the HVV interactions, as predicted by models of compositeness, supersymmetry and extra dimensions, can be formulated as anomalous couplings via a generic effective Lagrangian. We first show that the existing electroweak precision data already impose nontrivial indirect constraints on the anomalous HVV couplings. Then, we systematically study VV --> VV scatterings in the TeV region, via Gold-plated pure leptonic decay modes of the weak bosons. We demonstrate that, even for a light Higgs boson in the mass range 115GeV < m_H < 300GeV, this process can directly probe the anomalous HVV interactions at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of 300fb^{-1}, which further supports the ``No-Lose'' theorem for the LHC to uncover the EWSB mechanism. Comparisons with the constraints from measuring the cross section of VH associate production and the Higgs boson decay width are also given.
