description: Energetic cost of growth determines how much food-derived energy is needed to produce a given amount of new biomass and thereby influences energy transduction between trophic levels. Growth and development are regulated by hormones and are therefore sensitive to changes in temperature and environmental endocrine disruption. Here, we show that the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) at an environmentally relevant concentration (10 µgl−1) decreased fish (Danio rerio) size at 30°C water temperature. Under the same conditions, it significantly increased metabolic rates and the energetic cost of growth across development. By contrast, BPA decreased cost of growth at cooler temperatures (24°C). BPA-mediated changes in cost of growth were not associated with mitochondrial efficiency (P/O ratios (i.e. ADP used/oxygen consumed) and respiratory control ratios) although BPA did increase mitochondrial proton leak. In females, BPA decreased age at maturity at 24°C but increased it at 30°C, and it decreased the gonadosomatic index suggesting reduced investment into reproduction. Our data reveal a potentially serious emerging problem: increasing water temperatures resulting from climate warming together with endocrine disruption from plastic pollution can impact animal growth efficiency, and hence the dynamics and resilience of animal populations and the services these provide.

description: The discovery of important biomarkers is a significant step towards understanding the molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis; enabling accurate diagnosis for, and prognosis of, a certain cancer type. Before recommending any diagnosis, genomics data such as gene expressions(GE) and clinical outcomes need to be analyzed. However, complex nature, high dimensionality, and heterogeneity in genomics data make the overall analysis challenging. Convolutional neural networks(CNN) have shown tremendous success in solving such problems. However, neural network models are perceived mostly as `black box' methods because of their not well-understood internal functioning. However, interpretability is important to provide insights on why a given cancer case has a certain type. Besides, finding the most important biomarkers can help in recommending more accurate treatments and drug repositioning. In this paper, we propose a new approach called OncoNetExplainer to make explainable predictions of cancer types based on GE data. We used genomics data about 9,074 cancer patients covering 33 different cancer types from the Pan-Cancer Atlas on which we trained CNN and VGG16 networks using guided-gradient class activation maps++(GradCAM++). Further, we generate class-specific heat maps to identify significant biomarkers and computed feature importance in terms of mean absolute impact to rank top genes across all the cancer types. Quantitative and qualitative analyses show that both models exhibit high confidence at predicting the cancer types correctly giving an average precision of 96.25%. To provide comparisons with the baselines, we identified top genes, and cancer-specific driver genes using gradient boosted trees and SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP). Finally, our findings were validated with the annotations provided by the TumorPortal.

description: This thesis focuses on policy and practice around professional development of Further Education (FE)lecturers. It situates the lived experience of recently qualified Early Career Lecturers (ECLs), employed across a range of institutions within North-West England, in the 2010-2018 FE policy environment. Mismatches between Government policy priorities are shown to shape elements of ECL development and practice, presenting barriers to acquisition of secure professional identities. Longstanding, deep-seated, systemic and structural factors are also argued to contribute to these barriers. Policy and practice around professional development are viewed through a Bourdieusian theoretical framework. A Critical Discourse Analysis(CDA)of the Education and Training Foundation(ETF)Professional Standards and Guidance documents(as disseminated policy) is compared with CDA of ECL interview discourse. This discourse, observed practice, and material artefact data are analysed within themes of professional development, pedagogic practices, social practices, and identity formation. Elements of Vygotsky’s Social Activity Theory, and Material Cultural Studies/Theory(MCS/T)(from the field of Archaeology)are used as part of an explanatory framework, with insights from Le Grand’s metaphorical knights, pawns, and knaves illuminating ECL development. The thesis argues that failure to acquire a secure professional identity makes pre-existing identities, habitus, and capital important to ECLs’ ability to exercise agency in the field. However, neither precarious new identities, nor pre-existing attributes, protect from performative and managerialist pressures or conflicting policy priorities. Despite some subject areas being afforded higher cultural capital, through training bursaries and favourable terms of employment, retention of ECLs is fragile. This is particularly relevant to retaining Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM)specialists with authentic industry experience required by the current policy intentions for new T-levels qualifications. A homogeneity in pedagogic practice with creativity thwarted by bureaucratic pressures and an embattled fledgling professional identity is shown to be the current paradigm for ECLs.

description: Adopting a gender comparative approach, this thesis examines why roles that appear similar in type are performed differently by women across violent extremist group contexts. Prevailing narratives which implicitly gender violent extremism as inherently masculine overlook the means by which violent extremist groups use gender dynamics to inform their militancy. An absence of theory within the study of women and violent extremism has produced role typologies which descriptively categorise female participation. These produce analyses of female participation that are oversimplified. In contrast, this thesis develops a theoretically informed framework of analysis derived from a synthesis of gender performativity theory, role theory and a Communities of Practice approach. The application of this framework to female performances of four roles (motherhood; recruitment; combatant; suicide bombing) across seven case studies demonstrates how women occupy and perform their roles from a space that is distinct from male participants and civilian women. These spaces are shaped by contextual factors, organisational needs and the way roles are learned, and thus inform differences in role performances. This comparative analysis disrupts stereotypes associating masculinity with specific conceptualisations of violence. Instead, a recognition of a spectrum of gendered identities and behaviours which encapsulates femininity, furthers understandings of female participation in violent extremism as diverse and dynamic. It demonstrates that alternative performances to the masculine ‘norm’ exist and achieve a variety of specific outcomes for groups.

description: We study observational signatures of non-gravitational interactions between the dark components of the cosmic fluid, which can be either due to creation of dark particles from the expanding vacuum or an effect of the clustering of a dynamical dark energy. In particular, we analyse a class of interacting models ($Λ$(t)CDM), characterised by the parameter $α$, that behaves at background level like cold matter at early times and tends to a cosmological constant in the asymptotic future. In our analysis we consider both background and primordial perturbations evolutions of the model. We use Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data together with late time observations, such as the Joint Light-curve Analysis (JLA) supernovae data, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) measurement of the local value of the Hubble-Lemaître parameter, and primordial deuterium abundance from Ly$α$ systems to test the observational viability of the model and some of its extensions. We found that there is no preference for values of $α$ different from zero (characterising interaction), even if there are some indications for positive values when the minimal $Λ$(t)CDM model is analysed. When extra degrees of freedom in the relativistic component of the cosmic fluid are considered, the data favour negative values of $α$, which means an energy flux from dark energy to dark matter.

description: This article discusses the current state of contract theory and its usefulness for conceptualizing issues related to agricultural contracting. I will discuss the limitations of existing theory for applied work, and what methodological improvements are needed to enhance the usefulness of the theory to agricultural economists. One pervasive problem is that the canonical economic literature on contracts is rather fragmented and the various methodological strands are narrow in their focus. As such, there is a need for agricultural economists to engage in methodological research to develop applied contracting models that can capture higher order features of real world agricultural contracts while delivering generalizable comparative statics predictions. The need for such research is obvious as contracting continues to expand along the entire modern food marketing channel. In the latter part of this article, I develop a simple model to illustrate how classic methodological approaches can be combined with recent developments in contract and game theory to construct applied theory models that are useful for capturing some important features of agricultural contracts.

description: The objective of this research is to analyze the contractual relationship that is formed between biotechnology companies and traditional peoples, when the former use the knowledge of the second to reduce cost and time spent with research, obtaining profit, due to the remuneration to the people their knowledge. The legal relevance of the protection of the right to intellectual and industrial property was emphasized, as well as an analysis of the historical evolution of the legal instruments on the world scene, including the Paris Convention of 1883, followed by the creation of the World Organization through the Marrakesh Agreement in 1994, which had as its most important instrument TRIPS. TRIPS is a milestone for many countries to regulate their internal rules on intellectual property, including Brazil that is a signatory to the Agreement. In Brazil, this scope was modified after the Federal Constitution of 1988, to guarantee as fundamental right the intellectual property, until obtaining the legislation in force in the country on the subject, Law 9.279 / 96. The law finally regulated the registration of patents and the inherent obligations, among other provisions. These include green patents aimed at protecting knowledge of biotechnological innovation in order to promote sustainable development in industrial production. However, it was found that there were serious violations of the rights of indigenous and traditional peoples, as companies used their millennial knowledge and patented them as owners. Thus, after intense debates and new conceptions, it was understood that such knowledge can not be objects of patents. Finally, it was concluded that the green patent program can contribute to major technological and economic advances in Brazil, but should always respect the guidelines of sustainable development, which include social and environmental rights, guaranteeing the reasonableness of rights and ensuring the their inviolability.

description: It has recently been suggested that an isotropic singularity may be a generic feature of brane cosmologies, even in the inhomogeneous case. Using the covariant and gauge-invariant approach we present a detailed analysis of linear perturbations of the isotropic model ${\cal F}_b$ which is a past attractor in the phase space of homogeneous Bianchi models on the brane. We find that for matter with an equation of state parameter $γ> 1$, the dimensionless variables representing generic anisotropic and inhomogeneous perturbations decay as $t\to 0$, showing that the model ${\cal F}_b$ is asymptotically stable in the past. We conclude that brane universes are born with isotropy naturally built-in, contrary to standard cosmology. The observed large-scale homogeneity and isotropy of the universe can therefore be explained as a consequence of the initial conditions if the brane-world paradigm represents a description of the very early universe.

Contudo, é indagável se nos abrigos elas possuem as devidas condições necessárias para o desenvolvimento de um espírito de paz, dignidade, tolerância, liberdade, igualdade e solidariedade, já que muitas delas desenvolvem sérios problemas psicológicos dentro dos lares e não possuem um preparo efetivo para a vida. O problema objeto da investigação científica proposta é: quais as principais consequências jurídicas e sociológicas geradas pelo processo burocrático durante a adoção? Como vivem os jovens que não foram adotados ao completarem a maioridade? A partir das reflexões preliminares sobre o tema, supõe-se que muitas crianças não são adotadas pela demora que se tem no processo de adoção, haja vista que muitas pessoas que estão dispostas a adotar não querem crianças que já estão há muito tempo no lar.

description: The central points of communication network flow has often been identified using graph theoretical centrality measures. In real networks, the state of traffic density arises from an interplay between the dynamics of the flow and the underlying network structure. In this work we investigate the relationship between centrality measures and the density of traffic for some simple particle hopping models on networks with emerging scale-free degree distributions. We also study how the speed of the dynamics are affected by the underlying network structure. Among other conclusions, we find that, even at low traffic densities, the dynamical measure of traffic density (the occupation ratio) has a non-trivial dependence on the static centrality (quantified by "betweenness centrality"), which non-central vertices getting a comparatively large portion of the traffic.

description: The Kepler mission revealed a class of planets known as ''super-puffs,'' with masses only a few times larger than Earth's but radii larger than Neptune, giving them very low mean densities. All three of the known planets orbiting the young solar-type star Kepler 51 are super-puffs. The Kepler 51 system thereby provides an opportunity for a comparative study of the structures and atmospheres of this mysterious class of planets, which may provide clues about their formation and evolution. We observed two transits each of Kepler 51b and 51d with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope. Combining new WFC3 transit times with re-analyzed Kepler data and updated stellar parameters, we confirmed that all three planets have densities lower than 0.1 g/cm$^{3}$. We measured the WFC3 transmission spectra to be featureless between 1.15 and 1.63 $μ$m, ruling out any variations greater than 0.6 scale heights (assuming a H/He dominated atmosphere), thus showing no significant water absorption features. We interpreted the flat spectra as the result of a high-altitude aerosol layer (pressure $

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.

description: This paper analyzes the effect of landowner risk preferences and land quality on the optimal mix of vertically integrated production and contracted production of an energy crop in a region characterized by heterogeneity in landowners’ risk preferences and land quality and with riskiness of returns from both energy crop and conventional crop production. We examine the determinants of the decision of landowners to grow an energy crop for biofuel production under one of three types of contracts, a land leasing contract, a fixed price contract and a revenue sharing contract and the impact of risk and time preferences, land quality and riskiness of energy crop production and prices on the optimal contract terms and effective cost of biomass. We find that as the degree of risk aversion and rate of time preference increases and as the riskiness of producing both the conventional crop and the energy crop increases, the share of vertically integrated production of energy crops increases. While low quality land is more likely to be converted to energy crop production, an increase in the degree of risk aversion results in an increase in the threshold level of land quality converted to energy crops under a land leasing contract but a decrease in the threshold level of land quality converted under a fixed price contract and a revenue sharing contract. We also find that the refinery can potentially earn a higher profit by offering a menu of different types of contracts rather than a single type of contract only; by allowing self-selection of contract type based on their risk preferences, the risk premium needed to induce production of energy crops is reduced.

description: Data-driven modeling of human motions is ubiquitous in computer graphics and computer vision applications, such as synthesizing realistic motions or recognizing actions. Recent research has shown that such problems can be approached by learning a natural motion manifold using deep learning to address the shortcomings of traditional data-driven approaches. However, previous methods can be sub-optimal for two reasons. First, the skeletal information has not been fully utilized for feature extraction. Unlike images, it is difficult to define spatial proximity in skeletal motions in the way that deep networks can be applied. Second, motion is time-series data with strong multi-modal temporal correlations. A frame could be followed by several candidate frames leading to different motions; long-range dependencies exist where a number of frames in the beginning correlate to a number of frames later. Ineffective modeling would either under-estimate the multi-modality and variance, resulting in featureless mean motion or over-estimate them resulting in jittery motions. In this paper, we propose a new deep network to tackle these challenges by creating a natural motion manifold that is versatile for many applications. The network has a new spatial component for feature extraction. It is also equipped with a new batch prediction model that predicts a large number of frames at once, such that long-term temporally-based objective functions can be employed to correctly learn the motion multi-modality and variances. With our system, long-duration motions can be predicted/synthesized using an open-loop setup where the motion retains the dynamics accurately. It can also be used for denoising corrupted motions and synthesizing new motions with given control signals. We demonstrate that our system can create superior results comparing to existing work in multiple applications.

description: Oversupply has led to a number of perplexities for the Australian wine industry in recent times. When disaggregated from the industry level, however, the problem can be better described as a range of attribute-specific disequilibria. To date, the solutions to this problem have predominantly revolved around supply-side policies of reducing output through crop thinning or vine pulling. By contrast, this paper focuses on the demand side and argues that the disequilibria may be reduced by gaining a better understanding of the demand for Australian wine. A discrete choice model of product differentiation is used to estimate the demand for wine in Australia’s second largest export market, the United States. Implications of the analysis are explored.

description: It has been proposed that propagation of cosmic rays at extreme-energy may be sensitive to Lorentz-violating metric fluctuations (``foam''). We investigate the changes in interaction thresholds for cosmic-rays and gamma-rays interacting on the CMB and IR backgrounds, for a class of stochastic models of spacetime foam. The strength of the foam is characterized by the factor (E/M_P)^a, where ``a'' is a phenomenological suppression parameter. We find that there exists a critical value of ``a'' (dependent on the particular reaction), below which the threshold energy can only be lowered, and above which the threshold energy may be raised, but at most by a factor of two. Thus, it does not appear possible in this class of models to extend cosmic-ray spectra significantly beyond their classical absorption energies. However, the lower thresholds resulting from foam may have signatures in the cosmic-ray spectrum. We also find that cosmic-ray energies cannot exceed the fundamental Planck scale, and so set a lower bound of 10^8 TeV on the context of this model for the scale of gravity. Finally, we comment in the apparent non-conservation of particle energy-momentum, and speculate on its re-emergence as dark energy in the foamy vacuum.

description: Oxygen fugacity is a measure of rock oxidation that influences planetary structure and evolution. Most rocky bodies in the Solar System formed at oxygen fugacities approximately five orders of magnitude higher than a hydrogen-rich gas of solar composition. It is unclear whether this oxidation of rocks in the Solar System is typical among other planetary systems. We exploit the elemental abundances observed in six white dwarfs polluted by the accretion of rocky bodies to determine the fraction of oxidized iron in those extrasolar rocky bodies and therefore their oxygen fugacities. The results are consistent with the oxygen fugacities of Earth, Mars, and typical asteroids in the Solar System, suggesting that at least some rocky exoplanets are geophysically and geochemically similar to Earth.

Networks are mathematical tools used in the modelling of a wide variety of systems in social and natural science. Examples of these networks range from metabolic and cell networks to technological webs. Here we present the first empirical characterization of the world trade web, that is, the network built upon the trade relationships between different countries in the world. This network displays the typical properties of complex networks, namely, scale-free degree distribution, the {\it small world} property, a high clustering coefficient and, in addition, degree-degree correlation between different vertices. All these properties make the world trade web a complex network, which is far from being well-described through a classical random network description.

description: This paper proposes a analysis the Technology Transfer Agreement under the perspective of the Brazil’s developmentalism landscape. With the ideas presented, the goal is to understand the application of the developmentalism ideals on the construction of the Brazilian technological development considering that the state must be stimulated to take a mature attitude of nurturer of internal development, without repressing the freedom of contract granted to the private individual regarding agreements involving technology. The presented idea can easily be adopted in Brazil, and the reason for that may be seen in this essay, that intends to bring a first approach on the necessity of a bolder posture from the Brazilian State on the technological development while in the middle of the current crisis scenario.

Review of Solar Neutrino Experiments

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper reviews the constraints on the solar neutrino mixing parameters with data collected by the Homestake, SAGE, GALLEX, Kamiokande, SuperKamiokande, and SNO experiments. An emphasis will be given to the global solar neutrino analyses in terms of matter-enhanced oscillation of two active flavors. The results to-date, including both solar model dependent and independent measurements, indicate that electron neutrinos are changing to other active types on route to the Earth from the Sun. The total flux of solar neutrinos is found to be in very good agreement with solar model calculations. Future measurements will focus on greater accuracy for mixing parameters and on better sensitivity to low neutrino energies.

Aporocassida graphica

description: Aporocassida graphica (Germar, 1823)
 Published record. São Paulo (BඈΗൾආൺඇ 1854).
 Distribution. Argentina, Brazil (São Paulo), and Uruguay.
 Remarks. Aporocassida graphica is one of the most common species of Cassidinae in Argentina, where it has been recorded from NW provinces south to Buenos Aires and from Uruguay (ŚඐංශඍඈඃൺŇඌΚൺ 2002). The record from São Paulo was published by BඈΗൾආൺඇ (1854) but was not repeated by subsequent authors (i.e., SඉൺൾඍΗ 1914, Bඈඋඈඐංൾർ 1999, ŚඐංශඍඈඃൺŇඌΚൺ 2002), although Świętojańska listed several specimens vaguely localized as from Brazil. The presence of A. graphica in Brazil (as well as in Paraguay) is quite predictable; so far, the closest record is from Resistencia in the province of Chaco (Bඈඋඈඐංൾർ 1996), which is basically at the border with Paraguay and circa 300 km (air distance) from the Brazilian borders of Rio Grande do Sul. On the other hand, the occurrence of A. graphica in São Paulo and thus in Brazil should be considered dubious until it is confirmed by new material.

description: Illegal foreign fishing for sharks in Northern Australia has increased substantially over the last two decades. This has likely resulted in declines of shark species abundance, with potentially far-reaching impacts on the ecosystem. This, in turn, could also have indirectly affected the legal prawn, shark, and other fisheries in the region through changed predation patterns and direct removal of targets. The prawn fishery in Northern Australia is currently one of Australia’s most valuable fisheries. Sharks themselves are also a major target species by many Queensland and Northern Territory fishers. In this article, an ecosystem model developed in the Ecopath with Ecosim framework is used to estimate the impacts of illegal shark fishing on the remaining system, and the potential economic impacts on commercial fisheries in the region.
Measuring the Mach number of the Universe via the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect

description: We introduce a new statistic to measure more accurately the cosmic sound speed of clusters of galaxies at different redshifts. This statistic is evaluated by cross-correlating cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations caused by the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect from observed clusters of galaxies with their redshifts. When clusters are distributed in redshift bins of narrow width, one could measure the mean squared cluster peculiar velocity with an error σ_{C_S^2}\lsim (300{\rm km/s})^2. This can be done around z>0.3 with clusters of flux above 200 mJy which will be detected by PLANCK, coupled with high resolution microwave images to eliminate the cosmological part of the CMB fluctuations. The latter can be achieved with observations by the planned ALMA array or the NSF South Pole telescope and other surveys. By measuring the cosmic sound speed and the bulk flow in, e.g., 4 spheres of ~ 100h^{-1}Mpc at z=0.3, we could have a direct measurement of the matter density 0.21

Population-based metaheuristic optimization in neutron optics and shielding design

description: Population-based metaheuristic algorithms are powerful tools in the design of neutron scattering instruments and the use of these types of algorithms for this purpose is becoming more and more commonplace. Today there exists a wide range of algorithms to choose from when designing an instrument and it is not always initially clear which may provide the best performance. Furthermore, due to the nature of these types of algorithms, the final solution found for a specific design scenario cannot always be guaranteed to be the global optimum. Therefore, to explore the potential benefits and differences between the varieties of these algorithms available, when applied to such design scenarios, we have carried out a detailed study of some commonly used algorithms. For this purpose, we have developed a new general optimization software package which combines a number of common metaheuristic algorithms within a single user interface and is designed specifically with neutronic calculations in mind. The algorithms included in the software are implementations of Particle-Swarm Optimization (PSO), Differential Evolution (DE), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), and a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The software has been used to optimize the design of several problems in neutron optics and shielding, coupled with Monte-Carlo simulations, in order to evaluate the performance of the various algorithms. Generally, the performance of the algorithms depended on the specific scenarios, however it was found that DE provided the best average solutions in all scenarios investigated in this work.
