description: We have in recent years come to view dwarf galaxy evolution in the broader context of the cosmic evolution of large-scale structure. Dwarf galaxies, as the putative building blocks of hierarchical galaxy formation, and also as the most numerous galaxies in the Universe, play a central role in cosmic evolution. In particular, the interplay of galactic and intergalactic material around dwarf irregulars must be more extensive than in more massive disk galaxies because of their lower gravitational potential and lower interstellar pressures. The outer regions of dwarf irregular galaxies therefore yield vital clues to the dominant processes in this interaction zone. The Workshop addressed a number of questions related to the role of the outer regions in the evolution of dwarf galaxies and broader consequences.

description: In this talk, we investigate $Ξ(1690)^-$ production from the $K^-p\to K^+K^-Λ$ reaction wit the effective Lagrangian method and consider the $s$- and $u$-channel $Σ/Λ$ ground states and resonances for the $Ξ$-pole contributions, in addition to the $s$-channel $Λ$, $u$-channel nucleon pole, and $t$-channel $K^-$-exchange for the $ϕ$-pole contributions. The $Ξ$-pole includes $Ξ(1320)$, $Ξ(1535)$, $Ξ(1690)(J^p=1/2^-)$, and $Ξ(1820)(J^p=3/2^-)$. We compute the Dalitz plot density of $(d^2σ/dM_{K^+K^-}dM_{K^-Λ}$ at 4.2 GeV$/c$) and the total cross sections for the $K^-p\to K^+K^-Λ$. Employing the parameters from the fit, we present the cross sections for the two-body $K^-p\to K^+Ξ(1690)^-$ reaction near the threshold. We also demonstrate that the Dalitz plot analysis for $p_{K^-}=1.915 \sim2.065$ GeV/c makes us to explore direct information for $Ξ(1690)^-$ production, which can be done by future $K^-$ beam experiments.

description: This paper investigates the drivers of agri-food intra-industry trade (IIT) indices in the European Union (EU-27) member states during the period from 2000–2011. The increased proportion of IIT in matched two-way agri-food trade of the EU-27 member states is consistent with economic integration and economic growth. When export prices were at least 15% higher than the import prices, high-vertical IIT, increased for most member states. This finding suggests that quality improvements occurred when comparing agri-food exports to similar imports of agri-food products. The IIT indices for both horizontal and vertical IIT are positively associated with higher economic development levels, new EU membership and EU enlargement. Additionally, as higher levels of economic development decreases, the size of the economy and marginal IIT increases the effects of agri-food trade liberalization on the costs of the labor market adjustment. Understanding how improvements in agri-food trade quality impact agribusiness and managerial competitiveness reveal significant policy implications.

Specific Heat of the Periodic Anderson Model: From Weak to Strong Coupling

description: We study the temperature dependence of the specific heat in the periodic Anderson model as function of the on-site Coulomb interaction, hybridization, and position of the f-electrons energy level. At strong coupling (U=infinity) we use slave bosons, whereas at weak coupling we use a simple Hartree-Fock decomposition. We find that both in the strong and weak coupling limits the specific heat of the system presents a multiple peak structure in a mean field treatment. We believe these features to be related to band-shape effects. The temperature evolution of the low-temperature peak position on the model parameters for the non-half filled non-symmetric case is discussed.

description: This paper develops a Bayesian continuous 3D semantic occupancy map from noisy point clouds by generalizing the Bayesian kernel inference model for building occupancy maps, a binary problem, to semantic maps, a multi-class problem. The proposed method provides a unified probabilistic model for both occupancy and semantic probabilities and nicely reverts to the original occupancy mapping framework when only one occupied class exists in obtained measurements. The Bayesian spatial kernel inference relaxes the independent grid assumption and brings smoothness and continuity to the map inference, enabling to exploit local correlations present in the environment and increasing the performance. The accompanying software uses multi-threading and vectorization, and runs at about 2 Hz on a laptop CPU. Evaluations using multiple sequences of stereo camera and LiDAR datasets show that the proposed method consistently outperforms current baselines. We also present a qualitative evaluation using data collected with a bipedal robot platform on the University of Michigan - North Campus.

description: Abstract: The Indian cheetah was hunted to extinction by the mid-20th century. While analysis of 139 bp of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has confirmed that the Indian cheetah was part of the Asiatic subspecies (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus), the detailed relationships between cheetah populations remains unclear due to limited genetic data. We clarify these relationships by studying larger fragments of cheetah mtDNA, both from an Indian cheetah museum specimen and two African cheetah, one modern and one historic, imported into India at different times. Our results suggest that the most recent common ancestor of cheetah mtDNA is approximately twice as ancient as currently recognised. The Indian and Southeast African (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus) cheetah mtDNA diverged approximately 72 kya, while the Southeast and Northeast African (Acinonyx jubatus soemmeringii) cheetah mtDNA diverged around 139 kya. Additionally, the historic African cheetah sampled from India proved to have an A. j. jubatus haplotype, suggesting a hitherto unrecognised South African route of cheetah importation into India in the 19th century. Together, our results provide a deeper understanding of the relationships between cheetah subspecies, and have important implications for the conservation of A. j. venaticus and potential reintroduction of cheetahs into India.
Radio Emission from Accreting Isolated Black Holes in Our Galaxy

description: Apart from the few tens of stellar-mass black holes discovered in binary systems, an order of $10^8$ isolated black holes (IBHs) are believed to be lurking in our Galaxy. Although some IBHs are able to accrete matter from the interstellar medium, the accretion flow is usually weak and thus radiatively inefficient, which results in significant material outflow. We study electron acceleration generated by the shock formed between this outflow and the surrounding material, and the subsequent radio synchrotron emission from accelerated electrons. By numerically calculating orbits of IBHs to obtain their spatial and velocity distributions, we estimate the number of IBHs detectable by surveys using SKA1-mid (SKA2) as $\sim 30$ ($\sim 700$) for the most optimistic case. The SKA's parallax measurements may accurately give their distances, possibly shedding light on the properties of the black holes in our Galaxy.

description: In this paper, I use the Monash Multi-Country model – a dynamic Computable General Equilibrium model of China, Australia and the Rest of the World – to analyse the effects of removing border protection on wheat and rice in China. The analysis points to the possibility that removing border protection on wheat and rice may lead to an increase in rural income in China. This is mainly due to the following two factors. First, removing border protection on wheat and rice not only leads to a contraction in agricultural activities, but also leads to an expansion in manufacturing and services activities. Second, on average, rural households in China obtain over half of their income from manufacturing and services activities.

description: Pakistan is currently facing severe shortage of irrigation water. Current study is based on comprehensive cross sectional data set collected from 950 farmers from all the four major provinces of Pakistan. The paper analyzes the determinants of water scarcity and its impact on cereal crops yield (wheat, maize and rice), household income, food security and poverty levels by employing the propensity score matching approach. The empirical analysis indicated that farmers with water scarcity problem have lower yield (wheat, maize and rice) and household income and are food insecure. Poverty levels were higher in the range of 7-12% for the household facing water scarcity problem. Policy implications of the study is that public and private sector in Pakistan needs to invest in irrigation water management to maintain the productivity of cereal crops which is important for household food security and poverty reduction.

description: Accurate and affordable point-of-care diagnostics for tuberculosis (TB) are needed. Host serum protein signatures have been derived for use in primary care settings, however validation of these in secondary care settings is lacking. We evaluated serum protein biomarkers discovered in primary care cohorts from Africa reapplied to patients from secondary care. In this nested case-control study, concentrations of 22 proteins were quantified in sera from 292 patients from Malawi and South Africa who presented predominantly to secondary care. Recruitment was based upon intention of local clinicians to test for TB. The case definition for TB was culture positivity for Mycobacterium tuberculosis; and for other diseases (OD) a confirmed alternative diagnosis. Equal numbers of TB and OD patients were selected. Within each group, there were equal numbers with and without HIV and from each site. Patients were split into training and test sets for biosignature discovery. A nine-protein signature to distinguish TB from OD was discovered comprising fibrinogen, alpha-2-macroglobulin, CRP, MMP-9, transthyretin, complement factor H, IFN-gamma, IP-10, and TNF-alpha. This signature had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve in the training set of 90% (95% CI 86–95%), and, after adjusting the cut-off for increased sensitivity, a sensitivity and specificity in the test set of 92% (95% CI 80–98%) and 71% (95% CI 56–84%), respectively. The best single biomarker was complement factor H [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 70% (95% CI 64–76%)]. Biosignatures consisting of host serum proteins may function as point-of-care screening tests for TB in African hospitals. Complement factor H is identified as a new biomarker for such signatures.

 Comments
 Tetramorium lanuginosum is the only member of the T. obesum group that is present in the Malagasy zoogeographic region, and, it is another well-known and highly successful tramp species (Bolton, 1976; Wetterer, 2010).
 The presence of branched hairs distinguishes T. lanuginosum from all other Malagasy Tetramorium species.

description: At $z\sim2$, star-formation activity is thought to be high even in high-density environments such as galaxy clusters and proto-clusters. One of the critical but outstanding issues is if structural growth of star-forming galaxies can differ depending on their surrounding environments. In order to investigate how galaxies grow their structures and what physical processes are involved in the evolution of galaxies, one requires spatially resolved images of not only stellar components but also star-forming regions within galaxies. We conducted the Adaptive Optics(AO)-assisted imaging observations for star-forming galaxies in a dense proto-cluster core at $z=2.53$ with IRCS and AO188 mounted on the Subaru Telescope. A combination of AO and narrow-band filters allows us to obtain resolved maps of H$α$-emitting regions with an angular resolution of 0.1--0.2~arcsec, which corresponds to $\sim1$ kpc at $z\sim2.5$. Based on stacking analyses, we compare radial profiles of star-forming regions and stellar components and find that the star-forming region of a sub-sample with $\rm log(M_*/M_\odot)\sim10-11$ is more extended than the stellar component, indicating the inside-out growth of the structure. This trend is similar to the one for star-forming galaxies in general fields at $z=2-2.5$ obtained with the same observational technique. Our results suggest that the structural evolution of star-forming galaxies at $z=2-2.5$ is mainly driven by internal secular processes irrespective of surrounding environments.

Asymptotically de Sitter dilatonic space-time, holographic RG flow and conformal anomaly from (dilatonic) dS/CFT correspondence

description: The number of asymptotically de Sitter (non-singular) solutions of 5d dilatonic gravity with positive cosmological constant is found. These solutions are similar to the previously known asymptotically AdS spaces where dilaton may generate the singularity. Using these solutions the consistent $c$-function is proposed in the same way as in AdS/CFT. The consistency of RG flow gives further support for dS/CFT correspondence. From holographic RG flow equations we calculate the holographic 4d conformal anomaly with dilatonic contributions. This conformal anomaly turns out to be the same as in AdS/CFT correspondence.

description: Although quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductors such as $κ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu(NCS)$_2$ seem to be very clean systems, with apparent quasiparticle mean-free paths of several thousand Å, the superconducting transition is intrinsically broad (e.g $\sim 1$ K wide for $T_c \approx 10$ K). We propose that this is due to the extreme anisotropy of these materials, which greatly exacerbates the statistical effects of spatial variations in the potential experienced by the quasiparticles. Using a statistical model, we are able to account for the experimental observations. A parameter $\bar{x}$, which characterises the spatial potential variations, may be derived from Shubnikov-de Haas oscillation experiments. Using this value, we are able to predict a transition width which is in good agreement with that observed in MHz penetration-depth measurements on the same sample.

description: The study was conducted in the coastal region of West Bengal, India to document the prevalent farming systems and explore the opportunity of nonfarm activities in generating income and livelihood for the rural households. This paper concentrates in finding out the key determinants of participation in nonfarm income and employment generation activities across rural households. The analytical framework yields different activity choices as optimal solutions to a simple utility maximization problem. The empirical inquiry reveals that education, family size and access to land assets plays major role in accessing more remunerative nonfarm employment. The region is quite underdeveloped such that traditional rural self-employment activities still contributes 30.94 percent of household income and provide employment to 40.71 percent rural household. The number of working men, number of working women, age and education level are the other important determinants of nonfarm activities for the rural households.

description: In this paper we estimate consumer demand for food taking into account some socio-demographic characteristics of consumers. To tackle the issue of unobserved heterogeneity among consumers we used the, recent developed, Exact Affine Stone Index (EASI) demand system. Data used come from matching two datasets: the National Expenditure and the National Health Surveys for Spain. The main objective of our paper is to examine the effect of different price intervention policies that aim to improve diet quality. These policies include taxing unhealthy foods (e.g. sweets; fat), subsidizing healthy foods (e.g. Fruit and vegetable) and a mixture policy that include taxing unhealthy and subsidizing healthy foods at the same time. Our results consistent with the literature suggesting that taxes (subsidies) have a significant but small effect on diet quality. However, taxes can increase public budget significantly which can be used to finance other policies as educational campaigns or complementary health policies.

This includes background removal, change-point detection that brackets the peaks of gamma-ray flares, the evaluation of significance for each individual GBM detector and the combination of the results among the detectors. We also explain the calibration of the 10 parameters present in the method using one week of archival data. Finally, we present our detection performance result for 60 days of a blind search analysis with FWBSB by comparing to both the on-board and offline GBM search as well as external events found by others surveys such as Swift-BAT. We detect 42/44 on-board GBM{events but also other gamma-ray flares at a rate of 1 per hour in the 4-50 keV band. Our results show that FWBSB is capable of recovering gamma-ray flares, including the detection of soft X-ray long transients. FWBSB offers an independent identification of GRBs in combination with methods for determining spectral and temporal properties of the transient as well as localization. This is particularly useful for increasing the GRB rate and that will help the joint detection with gravitational-wave events.

description: The major development recently undergone by quantum cascade lasers has effectively extended frequency comb emission to longer-wavelength spectral regions, i.e. the mid and far infrared. Unlike classical pulsed frequency combs, their mode-locking mechanism relies on four-wave mixing nonlinear processes, with a temporal intensity profile different from conventional short-pulses trains. Measuring the absolute phase pattern of the modes in these combs enables a thorough characterization of the onset of mode-locking in absence of short-pulses emission, as well as of the coherence properties. Here, by combining dual-comb multi-heterodyne detection with Fourier-transform analysis, we show how to simultaneously acquire and monitor over a wide range of timescales the phase pattern of a generic frequency comb. The technique is applied to characterize a mid-infrared and a terahertz quantum cascade laser frequency comb, conclusively proving the high degree of coherence and the remarkable long-term stability of these sources. Moreover, the technique allows also the reconstruction of electric field, intensity profile and instantaneous frequency of the emission.

description: Objectives: Face-to-face healthcare, including psychiatric provision, must continue despite reduced interpersonal contact during the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus) pandemic. Community-based services might use domiciliary visits, consultations in healthcare settings, or remote consultations. Services might also alter direct contact between clinicians. We examined the effects of appointment types and clinician–clinician encounters upon infection rates. Design: Computer simulation. Methods: We modelled a COVID-19-like disease in a hypothetical community healthcare team, their patients, and patients' household contacts (family). In one condition, clinicians met patients and briefly met family (e.g., home visit or collateral history). In another, patients attended alone (e.g., clinic visit), segregated from each other. In another, face-to-face contact was eliminated (e.g., videoconferencing). We also varied clinician–clinician contact; baseline and ongoing “external” infection rates; whether overt symptoms reduced transmission risk behaviourally (e.g., via personal protective equipment, PPE); and household clustering. Results: Service organisation had minimal effects on whole-population infection under our assumptions but materially affected clinician infection. Appointment type and inter-clinician contact had greater effects at low external infection rates and without a behavioural symptom response. Clustering magnified the effect of appointment type. We discuss infection control and other factors affecting appointment choice and team organisation. Conclusions: Distancing between clinicians can have significant effects on team infection. Loss of clinicians to infection likely has an adverse impact on care, not modelled here. Appointments must account for clinical necessity as well as infection control. Interventions to reduce transmission risk can synergize, arguing for maximal distancing and behavioural measures (e.g., PPE) consistent with safe care.
Gravitational Tunneling Radiation

description: The isolated black hole radiation of both Hawking and Zel'dovich are idealized abstractions as there is always another body to distort the potential. This is considered with respect to both gravitational tunneling, and black hole "no-hair" theorems. The effects of a second body are to lower the gravitational barrier of a black hole and to give the barrier a finite rather than infinite width so tha a particle can escape by tunneling (as in field emission) or over the top of the lowered barrier (as in Schottky emission). Thus radiation may be emitted from black holes in a process differing from that of Hawking radiation, P SH, which has been undetected for over 24 years. The radiated power from a black hole derived here is PR e ^2__ PSH, where e ^2__ is he ransmission probability for radiation through the barrier. This is similar to electric field emission of electrons from a metal in that the emission can in principle be modulated and beamed. The temperature and entropy of black holes are reexamined. Miniscule black holes herein may help explain the missing mass of the universe, accelerated expansion of the universe, and anomalous rotation of spiral galaxies. A gravitational interference effect for black hole radiation similar to the Aharonov-Bohm effect is also examined.

description: The expropriation of farmland in China by local governments and the compensations paid to farmers are a major source of social conflicts. Using rural household survey data collected among 450 households in three provinces, this paper examines the impacts of compensation payments and different compensation modes on farmers’ satisfaction with the land compensation. The major findings are: (1) farmers’ satisfaction with the compensation depends not only on the size of the compensation but also on the gap between the compensation and the market value of the expropriated land; (2) the compensation amount positively affects farmers’ satisfaction when the social security compensation mode is used, but does not significantly affect farmers’ satisfaction when other modes are used. We conclude by discussing the policy relevance of our findings.

description: There is great interest in drug discovery programs targeted at the aggregation of the 42-residue form of the amyloid β peptide (Aβ42), since this molecular process is closely associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The use of bicyclic peptides may offer novel opportunities for the effective modification of Aβ42 aggregation and the inhibition of its cytotoxicity, as these compounds combine the molecular recognition ability of antibodies with a relatively small size of about 2 kD. Here, to pursue this approach, we rationally designed a panel of six bicyclic peptides targeting various epitopes along the sequence of Aβ42 to scan its most amyloidogenic region (residues 13–42). Our kinetic analysis and structural studies revealed that at sub-stoichiometric concentrations the designed bicyclic peptides induce a delay in the condensation of Aβ42 and the subsequent transition to a fibrillar state, while at higher concentrations they inhibit such transition. We thus suggest that designed bicyclic peptides can be employed to inhibit amyloid formation by redirecting the aggregation process toward amorphous assemblies.
Condensation-induced flow structure modifications in turbulent channel flow investigated in direct numerical simulations

description: The turbulent flow of a fluid carrying trace amounts of a condensable species through a differentially cooled vertical channel geometry is simulated using single-phase direct numerical simulations. The release of latent heat during condensation is modeled by interdependent temperature and vapor concentration source terms governing the relation between the removal of excess vapor from the system and the associated local increase in fluid temperature. A coupling between condensation and turbulence is implemented via solutal and thermal buoyancy. When compared to simulations of an identical system without phase transition modeling, the modifications of the subcooled boundary layer due to the transient and highly localized release of latent heat could be observed. A separate analysis of fluid before and after phase transition events shows a clear increase in post-interaction streak spacing, with the release of latent heat during condensation events opposing the cooling effect of the channel wall and the associated damping of turbulence.

description: This study aimed to determine the impact of non-agricultural employment of peasants on their farmland transfer and investment in agricultural assets by using theoretical models and empirical analysis. The Heckman two-step approach and ordinary least squares method of econometric estimation were used to analyze the questionnaire survey data collected from Jiangxi Province in China. Non-agricultural employment led to reduction of investment in agricultural assets and renting of land. The remittance flows from non-farm income were mainly used to improve the current quality of life, particularly housing condition, rather than to invest in agricultural assets. Migration of laborers caused farmers to rent out farmland, but the inflow of remittances from non-farm income, which increased the capital stock, did not increase the renting in of farmland.
