description: Effective research-project assessment typically is impeded by project variety. In particular, bibliometric approaches to science assessment tend to offer little information about the content of the projects examined. We introduce here a new approach – based on Bayesian theory – of econometrically evaluating the factors affecting scientific discovery, and use the method to assess a biological research program comprised of numerous heterogeneous projects. Our knowledge metric not only flexibly accommodates project variety but accounts for information in “failed” as well as “successful” studies. Using a mean-absolute-deviation utility functional form to measure new scientific knowledge, we decompose knowledge gain into a mean-surprise and statistical-accuracy effect. The two effects are econometrically examined independently, and then combined into the net knowledge production function. Research FTE and distance to study site have statistically significant but moderate effects on the amount by which research shifts the prediction of scientific outcome. However, scientist education powerfully improves the research study’s predictive accuracy or precision, a one-percent boost in the average investigator’s formal schooling improving precision by 4.3 percent. Largely on the basis of that precision effect, increasing returns to research project scale are evident.
Kondo effect of impurity moments in d-wave superconductors: Quantum phase transition and spectral properties

description: We discuss the dynamics of magnetic moments in d-wave superconductors, in particular we focus on moments induced by doping non-magnetic impurities into cuprates. The interaction of such moments with the Bogoliubov quasiparticles of the superconductors can be decribed by variants of the pseudogap Kondo model, characterized by a power-law density of states at the Fermi level. The Numerical Renormalization Group technique is employed to investigate this Kondo problem for realistic band structures and particle-hole asymmetries, both at zero and finite temperatures. In particular, we study the boundary quantum phase transition between the local-moment and the asymmetric strong-coupling phases, and argue that this transition has been observed in recent nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. We determine the spectral properties of both phases, the location of the critical point as function of Kondo coupling and doping, and discuss the quantum-critical cross-overs near this phase transition. In addition, the changes in the local density of states around the impurity are calculated as function of temperature, being relevant to scanning tunneling microscopy experiments.

description: International trade costs are known to be large but difficult to measure. Using a microfounded gravity equation based on the framework in Novy (2011), this study estimates an indirect measure of multilateral trade costs for tradable goods in agriculture. Using production and bilateral trade data along with plausible values of the elasticity of substitution, we find that median global agricultural trade costs were 285 percent in 1965, on an ad-valorem equivalent basis, before declining dramatically to a 118 percent ad-valorem equivalent in 2010. There is considerable variation in agricultural trade costs, bilaterally, and within various policy arrangements such as regional integration and the GATT/WTO. Statistical analysis of the determinants of agricultural trade costs largely confirms this variation: bilateral and regional free trade initiatives lower international trade costs by 36 percent on average, whereas GATT/WTO membership lowers trade costs by nearly 20 percent.

description: Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rare, incurable, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical features and survival time of Chinese sCJD patients, and to explore the associations between clinical data and survival. In this study, we analysed the clinical data of 21 sCJD patients in a tertiary care hospital and used all Chinese case material available from 152 patients with sCJD in literatures between 2008 and 2018. The mean age of onset of all 173 deceased patients was 61.44 year-olds (y), with the highest incidence in the population of 60 to 69 y. The most common manifestation at disease onset was progressive dementia. With the progression of the disease, the four main clinical symptoms and signs were developed, including myoclonus, visual or cerebella disturbance, pyramidal or extrapyramidal dysfunction, and akinetic mutism. Extrapyramidal symptoms were more frequently observed. The mean survival time was 7.34 months, and 82.10% of cases died within 1 year after disease onset. The follow-up showed that the survival time was longer and the myoclonus sign was more frequently presented in younger-onset sCJD patients. Patients with abnormalities only in cortical regions had a higher frequency of pyramidal dysfunction than patients having lesions in both cortex and basal ganglia. The findings of this study might provide some insight into the clinical characteristics of sCJD patients in China, but further studies could examine the presences of clinical features and survival time in patients with early age of onset in a prospective manner.

description: The centralized nature of the US food production, processing, and distribution system effectively precludes specialty crop producers, particularly those with small-scale operations, from serving as suppliers to institutional food service operations (schools, hospitals, etc.). Due to age, economic, and/or health status, it is often the clients of these food services who would most benefit from an increase in their consumption of specialty crops. Institutions, however, are often limited in their resources and lack the market-based incentives to incorporate these foods into their menu planning. This study seeks to identify and suggest solutions to the barriers that limit the ability of small and medium-scale specialty crops producers from serving as suppliers to institutional foodservices. Several common barriers were identified which were consistent with those previously reported in other studies. This study also identified unique marketing challenges with regard to delivery challenges, required certifications and food-safety practices, and insurance requirements. Potential solutions to these barriers are identified and reviewed.

description: As petroleum supplies remain in constant limbo, alternative sources are needed to meet energy demands. Biofuels have the potential to mitigate environmental impact, improve balance of payments though foreign exchange savings while providing countries with greater energy security. Considering that biofuels are expected to gain a larger share of the automotive fuel market, biofuels are pertinent to both developed and developing countries. It is necessary to conduct an economic analysis on a biofuel mandate since other countries are contemplating mandates and are moving towards a biofuel economy. This paper finds that coconut farm gate prices are higher but coconut workers’ wages decreased and farmers experienced an increase in volatility in their farm gate price during the time the Biofuel Act was in effect.

description: While the use of deep learning in drug discovery is gaining increasing attention, the lack of methods to compute reliable errors in prediction for Neural Networks prevents their application to guide decision making in domains where identifying unreliable predictions is essential, e.g. precision medicine. Here, we present a framework to compute reliable errors in prediction for Neural Networks using Test-Time Dropout and Conformal Prediction. Specifically, the algorithm consists of training a single Neural Network using dropout, and then applying it N times to both the validation and test sets, also employing dropout in this step. Therefore, for each instance in the validation and test sets an ensemble of predictions were generated. The residuals and absolute errors in prediction for the validation set were then used to compute prediction errors for test set instances using Conformal Prediction. We show using 24 bioactivity data sets from ChEMBL 23 that dropout Conformal Predictors are valid (i.e., the fraction of instances whose true value lies within the predicted interval strongly correlates with the confidence level) and efficient, as the predicted confidence intervals span a narrower set of values than those computed with Conformal Predictors generated using Random Forest (RF) models. Lastly, we show in retrospective virtual screening experiments that dropout and RF-based Conformal Predictors lead to comparable retrieval rates of active compounds. Overall, we propose a computationally efficient framework (as only N extra forward passes are required in addition to training a single network) to harness Test-Time Dropout and the Conformal Prediction framework, and to thereby generate reliable prediction errors for deep Neural Networks.

description: We present a code that calculates the relic density of the LSP in the MSSM. All tree-level processes for the annihilation of the LSP are included as well as all possible coannihilation processes with neutralinos, charginos, sleptons,squarks and gluinos. In all we have included over 2800 processes not counting charged conjugate states.The cross-sections extracted from CompHEP are calculated exactly. Relativistic formulae for the thermal average are used and care is taken to handle poles and thresholds by adopting specific integration routines. The input parameters can be either the soft SUSY parameters in a general MSSM or the five parameters of a SUGRA model. A link with ISASUGRA/ISAJET allows to calculate the parameters of the MSSM at the weak scale for an input at the GUT scale. The Higgs masses are calculated with FeynHiggsFast. Routines calculating g-2 and bsgamma are also included.

description: Based on new near-infrared spectroscopic data from the instrument EMIR on the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) we report the presence of an ionized and warm molecular outflow in the luminous type-2 quasar J150904.22+043441.8 (z = 0.1118). The ionized outflow is faster than its molecular counterpart, although the outflow sizes that we derive for them are consistent within the errors (1.34$\pm$0.18 kpc and 1.46$\pm$0.20 kpc respectively). We use these radii, the broad emission-line luminosities and in the case of the ionized outflow, the density calculated from the trans-auroral [OII] and [SII] lines, to derive mass outflow rates and kinetic coupling efficiencies. Whilst the ionized and warm molecular outflows represent a small fraction of the AGN power ($\leq$0.033% and 0.0001% of L$_{bol}$ respectively), the total molecular outflow, whose mass is estimated from an assumed warm-to-cold gas mass ratio of 6$\times10^{-5}$, has a kinetic coupling efficiency of $\sim$1.7%L$_{bol}$. Despite the large uncertainty, this molecular outflow represents a significant fraction of L$_{bol}$ and it could potentially have a significant impact on the host galaxy. In addition, the quasar spectrum reveals bright and patchy narrow Pa$α$ emission extending out to 4 arcsec (8 kpc) South-East and North-West from the active nucleus.

description: Gravitational corrections in N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories are obtained from topological string amplitudes. We show how they are recovered in matrix model computations. This provides a test of the proposal by Dijkgraaf and Vafa beyond the planar limit. Both, matrix model and topological string theory, are used to check a conjecture of Nekrasov concerning these gravitational couplings in Seiberg-Witten theory. Our analysis is performed for those gauge theories which are related to the cubic matrix model, i.e. pure SU(2) Seiberg-Witten theory and N=2 U(N) SYM broken to N=1 via a cubic superpotential. We outline the computation of the topological amplitudes for the local Calabi-Yau manifolds which are relevant for these two cases.

For the former situation the relaxation times increase strongly with decreasing distance from the wall whereas in the second case they strongly decrease. We use this dependence to extract various dynamical length scales and show that they grow with decreasing temperature. By calculating the frequency dependent average susceptibility of such confined systems we show that the experimental interpretation of such data is very difficult.

description: We evaluate the counterparty risk of kth-to-default credit-linked notes (CLN) with contagion risk under a Markov chain model. Assume that the interest rate follows a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) process and both internal and external risks are taken into account in the context of contagion risk. We characterize the value of the kth-to-default CLN as a unique solution to a system of partial differential equations (PDE), each of which is associated with a default or shock realization state. Furthermore, the credit value adjustment (CVA) of the note with counterparty risk is also derived. Numerical simulations are conducted to show the effects of the correlated default risk on the kth-to-default CLN values and their CVAs.

The background fields representing pp-waves exhibit SO(4)*SO(4)*Z_2 invariance. It turns out that the interaction Hamiltonian is precisely the same as that for the dilaton-axion system, except for the fact that the chiral primary system fields have the opposite parity to that of the dilaton-axion fields under the Z_2 transformation that exchanges two SO(4)'s.

description: To concentrate on treating the most serious risks, methods of business risk management usually seek to identify the main risks and to assess their relative importance. Risks are typically assessed in terms of their chances of occurrence and the severity of their consequences. The assessments may be performed by qualitative, semi-quantitative or quantitative analysis. This paper is focussed on quantitative methods, requiring assessments of specific probabilities and values for consequences.

The relaxation dynamics of a viscous silica melt: II The intermediate scattering functions

description: We use molecular dynamics computer simulations to study the relaxation dynamics of a viscous melt of silica. The coherent and incoherent intermediate scattering functions, F_d(q,t) and F_s(q,t), show a crossover from a nearly exponential decay at high temperatures to a two-step relaxation at low temperatures. Close to the critical temperature of mode-coupling theory (MCT) the correlators obey in the alpha-regime the time temperature superposition principle (TTSP) and show a weak stretching. We determine the wave-vector dependence of the stretching parameter and find that for F_d(q,t) it shows oscillations which are in phase with the static structure factor. The temperature dependence of the alpha- relaxation times tau shows a crossover from an Arrhenius law at low temperatures to a weaker T-dependence at intermediate and high temperatures. At the latter temperatures the T-dependence is described well by a power law. We find that the exponent gamma of the power law for tau are significantly larger than the one for the diffusion constant. The q-dependence of the alpha-relaxation times for F_d(q,t) oscillates around tau(q) for F_s(q,t) and is in phase with the structure factor. Due to the strong vibrational component of the dynamics at short times the TTSP is not valid in the beta- relaxation regime. We show, however, that in this time window the shape of the curves is independent of the correlator and is given by a functional form proposed by MCT. We find that the value of the von Schweidler exponent and the value of gamma for finite q are compatible with the expression proposed by MCT. We conclude that, in the temperature regime where the relaxation times are mesoscopic, many aspects of the dynamics of this strong glass former can be rationalized very well by MCT.

description: This paper employs a structural innovation model to study the process of indigenous innovation in China and the role of industry relatedness. To better take into account China's transitioning economy context, it further tests to what extent the relationship between relatedness and firms’ innovation process is influenced by the relaxation of foreign ownership controls, an arguably exogenous shock. Controlling for selection, simultaneity and unobserved heterogeneity, the results show that firm research and development (R&D) boosts innovation output, which in turn enhances firm productivity. Relatedness economies are positively related to each phase of innovation, although the size of the effects depends on the type of firm and the stage of innovation. Foreign direct investment (FDI) liberalization encourages firms to rely more on relatedness economies: (1) to complement R&D spending that is required to adapt foreign technologies to local applications; (2) to recombine knowledge from related industries in order to bring forth new proprietary ideas, processes or concepts; and (3) to help solve process or organizational problems faced in related industries.

description: Contamination of aquatic ecosystems with organic and inorganic contaminants is a global threat due to their hazardous effects on the environment and human health. Floating treatment wetland (FTW) technology is a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to existing treatment approaches. It consists of a buoyant mat in which wetland plants can grow and develop their roots in a suspended manner and can be implemented to treat stormwater, municipal wastewater, and industrial effluents. Here we explored the potential of bacterial-augmented FTWs for the concurrent remediation of phenol and hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) contaminated water and evaluated treated water toxicity using Triticum aestivum L. (wheat) as a test plant. The FTWs carrying Phragmites australis L. (common reed) were inoculated with a consortium of four bacterial strains (Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN, Acinetobacter lwofii ACRH76, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PJRS20, Bacillus sp. PJRS25) and evaluated for their potential to simultaneously remove phenol and chromium (Cr) from contaminated water. Results revealed that the FTWs efficiently improved water quality by removing phenol (86%) and Cr (80%), with combined use of P. australis and bacterial consortium after 50 days. The phytotoxicity assay demonstrated that the germination of wheat seed (96%) was significantly higher where bacterial-augmented FTWs treated water was used compared to untreated water. This pilot-scale study highlights that the combined application of wetland plants and bacterial consortium in FTWs is a promising approach for concomitant abatement of phenol and Cr from contaminated water, especially for developing countries like Pakistan where the application of advanced and expensive technologies is limited. This pilot-scale research provides new interventions and information required for establishing a large-scale remediation framework for the effective, sustainable and eco-friendly remediation of phenol and Cr co-contaminated aquatic ecosystems, using bacterial augmented floating wetlands technology (FTWs).

description: In this paper, we report our results in measuring total factor productivity (TFP) growth in the New Zealand primary and downstream manufacturing sectors. Our results showed strong TFP growth in the agriculture sector during 1988-2006 (2.7 percent per year). Forestry and logging’s TFP grew at a lower rate (1.5 percent) which is similar to that of the economy average. Both downstream manufacturing sectors’ TFP grew at lower rates than the primary sectors and the economy average (being 1.1 and -0.1 percent respectively).
Analysis of the Knight shift data on Li and Zn substituted YBCO

description: The Knight shift data on Li and Zn substituted YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ are analysed using an itinerant model with short-range antiferromagnetic correlations. The model parameters, which are determined by fitting the experimental data on the transverse nuclear relaxation rate $T_2^{-1}$ of pure YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$, are used to calculate the Knight shifts for various nuclei around a nonmagnetic impurity located in the CuO$_2$ planes. The calculations are carried out for Li and Zn impurities substituted into optimally doped and underdoped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$. The results are compared with the $^7$Li and $^{89}$Y Knight shift measurements on these materials.

description: National agricultural research systems in many developing countries are evolving programs that use biotechnology to address constraints on productivity and to meet pressing agricultural needs. These programs challenge research managers and decision makers to identify relevant end users, develop national expertise, priorities, and policies for biotechnology, and to secure financial resources for implementation. This report describes a four-phase framework for decision making to assist directors of national agricultural programs and financial ministries in establishing priorities and policies for national biotechnology initiatives, determining design and implementation objectives, and considering avenues available for technology transfer. The decision-making process stimulates interaction among national, managerial, and research leaders to develop and advance a strategic approach for biotechnology activities that have often arisen independent of one another.
