description: In this {\it Letter}, we present the result of an axisymmetric CCSN simulation conducted with appropriate treatments of neutrino transport and proper motions of proto-neutron star (PNS), in which a remarkable PNS acceleration is observed in association with asymmetric neutrino emissions by the time of $300$ms after bounce. We find that these asymmetric neutrino emissions play important roles in the acceleration of PNS in this phase. The correlation between the PNS proper motion and the asymmetric ejecta is similar to that in the neutron star (NS) kick of hydrodynamic origin. Both electron-type neutrinos ($ν_{\rm e}$) and their anti-particles ($\barν_{\rm e}$) have $\sim 10\%$ level of asymmetry between the northern and southern hemispheres, while other heavy-leptonic neutrinos ($ν_x$) have much smaller asymmetry of $\sim 1 \%$. The emissions of $\barν_{\rm e}$ and $ν_x$ are higher in the hemisphere of stronger shock expansion whereas the $ν_{\rm e}$ emission is enhanced in the opposite hemisphere: in total the neutrinos carry some linear momentum to the hemisphere of the stronger shock expansion. The asymmetry is attributed to the non-spherical distribution of electron-fraction ($Y_e$) in the envelope of PNS. Although it is similar to LESA (lepton-emission self-sustained asymmetry), the $Y_e$ asymmetry seems to be associated with the PNS motion: the latter triggers lateral circular motions in the envelope of PNS by breaking symmetry of the matter distribution there, which are then sustained by a combination of convection, lateral neutrino diffusion and matter-pressure gradient. Our findings may have an influence on the current theories on the NS kick mechanism although long-term simulations are required to assess their impact on the later evolution.

description: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a deadly, heritable lung disorder. Patients with CF lack activity in (or lack altogether) the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR), a chloride ion channel responsible for keeping lung mucus moist—without proper moisture, the lungs develop breathing difficulties and frequent infections (Boyd et al., 2020). Because it is a genetic disorder, research conventionally focuses on creating gene therapies to supply CFTR DNA. While gene therapies are effective, they often cause adverse side-effects from integrating into unpredictable areas of the genome. Gene vectors may accidentally place the CFTR DNA into a tumor suppressor gene, putting patients at risk for developing cancers (Boyd et al., 2020). Recently, researchers have looked into RNA therapies, such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), for combating cystic fibrosis without need for integration. Unlike gene therapies, ASOs cannot integrate into the cell’s DNA, and therefore are much less likely to interrupt a proto-oncogene and cause cancer. ASOs are small RNA molecules that block mRNA translation by physically binding to the mRNA (Boyd et al., 2020). Therefore, they can downregulate expression of genes that may cause or exacerbate CF symptoms. For instance, the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) remains active while the CF patient’s missing chloride channel is inactive, contributing to unbalanced moisture in the lungs (Crosby et al., 2017). ASOs targeted at genes encoding ENaC, such as Scnn1a, might therefore alleviate or even reverse CF symptoms (Crosby et al., 2017). Conversely, ASOs can be used to block translation regulation elements in the mRNA for CFTR itself, therefore upregulating CFTR translation levels (Boyd et al., 2020). CFTR upregulation through ASOs has advanced into the clinical stage, where researchers are assessing its tolerable dose and adverse side-effects (Drevinek et al., 2020). Due to the low incidence and severity of adverse side-effects in clinical trials, antisense oligonucleotide therapy for treating cystic fibrosis offers a far safer alternative to conventional gene therapy.

description: The development of scalable Out of Autoclave (OoA) in situ thermoset curing methods are required to overcome important drawbacks related to the autoclave based processing methods typically used in industry. The incorporation of graphene, an electrothermal carbon nanomaterial with the ability to transform electric energy into heat through Joule heating, emerges as a promising route to replace the conventional processing methods. In this work the electrical behaviour of both uncured and oven cured GNPs/epoxy composites with loadings of up to 10 wt% were evaluated and electrical percolation thresholds were established for both. Above the critical loading found for oven cured materials (8.5 wt%) the electrically conducting networks of GNPs formed in the matrix showed the ability to act as integrated nanoheaters when an electric current was passed through them, successfully curing the composites by Joule heating. Composites prepared by this OoA curing method (as an alternative to the traditional oven based one) at 10 wt% loading of GNPs were also prepared and compared to the oven cured ones. They showed more compact composite structures, with less microvoids and a preferred orientation of the GNPs in the matrix relative to the oven cured material at identical loading, as revealed by electron microscopy and polarized Raman spectroscopy, respectively. This microstructure and anisotropy induced by the electrically induced (i.e. OoA) cure led to GNPs/epoxy composites with superior electrical and mechanical properties (revealed by tensile testing). The well distributed GNP nanoparticles acting as nanoheaters integrated in a thermosetting matrix, in combination with excellent mechanical and electrical performances achieved for the overall graphene/epoxy composites and the simplicity associated to the method, should open the door to novel industrial applications.

description: Using urban household-level survey data from 1992 to 1998, we provide estimates of final demand for edible vegetable oils and animal fats in three regions of China based on the LinQuad incomplete demand system. For each region, the demand for the major "staple" oil is price inelastic. The demand for “condiment” or flavoring oils is more price responsive. All edible oils and fats have positive income elasticity, but smaller than one. Using the LinQuad parameter estimates, we provide exact measures of urban consumer welfare losses associated with trade restrictions on vegetable oil imports of the order of US$ 392 million.

description: Population pressure in Indonesia, especially in the inner islands of Java and Madura, has compelled the government to seek other areas to expand agricultural lands as well as to resettle people from these inner islands to the less-populated outer islands, such as Borneo. The tidal swamplands in Borneo offered one alternative to meet land requirements for both purposes. However, due to the unique characteristics of tidal the swamplands, farming systems in this ecosystem should be carried out appropriately, especially by the new settlers who are not familiar with the environments. It is becoming increasingly important in such environments to achieve sustainable agriculture which in turn will lead to sustainable development.

description: Recent meat demand models incorporate demand functions for cuts of meat rather than whole carcasses. However, parameters for “meat quality” are seldom included in such models. Modelling difficulty arises as meat cuts are heterogeneous in their quality attributes. Meat quality may be assessed by measurement of attributes including tenderness, juiciness and flavour. Cooking method and cooking time are the two primary factors that affect meat-eating quality. The purpose of this paper is to show how meat quality parameters relate to one another for beef cuts. A quality index for tenderness, juiciness and flavour can be incorporated directly into demand functions.

description: Quantum key distribution (QKD) based on entangled photon pairs holds the potential for repeater-based quantum networks connecting clients over long distance. We demonstrate long-distance entanglement distribution by means of polarisation-entangled photon pairs through two successive deployed 96 km-long telecommunications fibres in the same submarine cable. One photon of each pair was detected directly after the source, while the other travelled the fibre cable in both directions for a total distance of 192 km and attenuation of 48 dB. The observed two-photon Bell state exhibited a fidelity 85% $\pm$ 2% and was stable over several hours. We employed neither active stabilisation of the quantum state nor chromatic dispersion compensation for the fibre.

description: A multicriteria group choice problem is considered in the paper. The model includes a set of feasible alternatives, a vector criterion, and n preference relations of the decision makers (DMs). Each preference relation is a cone relation with corresponding properties. It is considered the majority preference relation, as a cone relation constructed upon the cones of the DMs' preference relations. It is shown how to use and aggregate additional information about the DMs' preference relations in case of three DMs and two criteria. The Pareto set of multicriteria problem with "new" vector criterion forms a group choice, which reduces the Pareto set of initial multicriteria problem.

description: The main objective of this paper is to illuminate the relatively little-known process of collectivisation in Soviet Central Asia. The aim is to show the specifics of the collectivisation of Soviet agriculture, using the example of Kazakhstan. The peasants were first given some land, only to have it taken it away over the course of several years, during the process of collectivisation. The poor farmers, especially those who lacked good civil morals, perceived the process chance to control the future development of the countryside. It seems most of them did not see or were not able to see the purpose of the changes in the social structure of the village, or especially the real intentions of the communists. Any manipulative ideological influence on the countryside is very harmful in its effect, and the consequences are difficult to remove even after a long period of time. This article deals with the current economic and agricultural transformations in Central Asia and demonstrates a risk for the insensitive procedures used in agricultural transformation to be repeated.

description: Possibly Australia’s greatest contribution to global food security is through the production and export of safe, nutritious, sustainablyproduced food, to meet the rising demand across Asia and beyond. We need to promote, protect and extend Australia’s reputation as a high quality, safe food supplier. Visy supports its food industry customers to do well, which will fuel Australia’s capacity to feed 200 million people directly. We can also help feed a further 800 million with the application of our skills, R&D and business services. Supporting our food customers revitalises the food processing sector and tackles food waste by protecting food from deteriorating, which could double the effective calorie delivery from the current level of agricultural production. Reducing food waste by better packaging that extends food shelf life also adds value to our customers and hence to society. Applying business know-how, in collaborative partnership with researchers and farming practitioners, is an important key to achieving this goal.

description: The metallicity of galactic gaseous halos provides insights into accretion and feedback of galaxies. The nearby edge-on galaxy NGC 891 has a multi-component gaseous halo and a background AGN (LQAC 035+042 003) projected 5 kpc above the disk near the minor axis. Against the UV continuum of this AGN, we detect lines from 13 ions associated with NGC 891 in new {\it HST}/COS spectra. Most of the absorption is from the warm ionized gas with $\log T=4.22\pm0.04$, $\log n_{\rm H}=-1.26\pm0.51$, and $\log N_{\rm H}=20.81\pm 0.20$. The metallicity of volatile elements (i.e., C, N, and S) is about half solar ($\rm[X/H] \approx -0.3\pm 0.3$), while Mg, Fe, and Ni show lower metallicities of $\rm[X/H]\approx-0.9$. The absorption system shows the depletion pattern seen for warm Galactic diffuse clouds, which is consistent with a mixture of ejected solar metallicity disk gases and the hot X-ray emitting halo ($Z=0.1-0.2Z_\odot$). The warm ionized gases are about 5 times more massive than the cold \ion{H}{1} emitting gases around the galactic center, which might lead to accretion with a mean rate of $10^2~M_\odot\rm~yr^{-1}$ for a period of time. We also detect low metallicity ($\approx 0.1~Z_\odot$) gases toward LQAC 035+042 003 at $110\rm~km~s^{-1}$ (a high velocity cloud) and toward another sight line (3C 66A; 108 kpc projected from NGC 891) at $30\rm~km~s^{-1}$. This low metallicity material could be the cold mode accretion from IGM or the tidal disruption of satellites in the NGC 891 halo.

description: One of the most rapidly evolving and dynamic business sector is the IT domain, where there is a problem finding experienced, skilled and qualified employees. Specialists are essential for developing and implementing new ideas into products. Human resources (HR) department plays a major role in the recruitment of qualified employees by assessing their skills, using different HR metrics, and selecting the best candidates for a specific job. Most recruiters are not qualified to evaluate IT specialists. In order to decrease the gap between the HR department and IT specialists, we designed, implemented and tested an Expert System for Recruiting IT specialist - ESRIT. The expert system uses text mining, natural language processing, and classification algorithms to extract relevant information from resumes by using a knowledge base that stores the relevant key skills and phrases. The recruiter is looking for the same abilities and certificates, trying to place the best applicant into a specific position. The article presents a developing picture of the top major IT skills that will be required in 2014 and it argues for the choice of the IT abilities domain.

description: To produce 70% more food by 2050 to feed the expected 9 billion people, it can’t be business as usual. We simply don’t have the energy or water to sustain such an increase. A world without hunger is within our reach if we are smarter in the way that we use the resources, tools, and technology available to us, and if we are willing to move away from working in silos and embrace a crosscutting and multi-stakeholder approach. There is growing global attention/recognition on the need to transform agriculture and food systems. The way to do this means that each and every stakeholder must play their role and at the same time open up to collaboration with other stakeholders – from big companies, to family farmers, advocacy organisations, research institutions etc. The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) and the World Economic Forum’s New Vision for Agriculture are leading the charge on this transformation by bringing together governments, private sector actors, civil society representatives, leading research organisations, financing institutions and many others in order to contribute to the birth of a diversity of solutions to feed the 1 billion people still living in extreme poverty and the 2 billion suffering from malnutrition. Now more than ever, as we are set to agree on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), exploring how we can intensify our existing collaboration and expand the opportunities to build on each other’s strengths is necessary if we are to be successful at bridging the projected annual investment deficit of $2.5 trillion. Addressing food security and nutrition has at times been a minefield of polarising debates, when in fact the best solutions are often found when we can combine and build on ideas and options from across the spectrum. Not shying away from addressing contentious issues in a multi stakeholder dialogue – like the role of genetic engineering, or the role for smallholders in intensification, how to optimize land use, or how we can combine traditional knowledge with innovation and technology – is the only way to build consensus and truly create food systems, where sustainability and profitability are inextricably linked.

description: The alignment of strategy and vision between government and member organisations in PisAgro is an important foundation to achieve market based Thought Leadership via an inclusive model. In practice, however, working across a large group of multi-stakeholders with different ideologies, working cultures and agenda is challenging. As projects progress from simple pilots to scale ups, the complexity of managing these projects increases, adding more pressure on limited management and field resources. In order to ensure scale-up sustainability and addressing project implementation complexities, the inclusive culture of leveraging strengths, expertise and sharing best practices of partners, have to be inculcated. Lastly, in the longer term, there must be continuity of strong leadership in the public and private sectors to drive the food security agenda. At the operational level, there must be stamina to complete the journey, supported by the courage of parent companies and donor organizations to continue to invest in market based opportunities to achieve crop productivity gains, farmer prosperity and environmental sustainability.

description: We study the dynamics of the awakening during the night for healthy subjects and find that the wake and the sleep periods exhibit completely different behavior: the durations of wake periods are characterized by a scale-free power-law distribution, while the durations of sleep periods have an exponential distribution with a characteristic time scale. We find that the characteristic time scale of sleep periods changes throughout the night. In contrast, there is no measurable variation in the power-law behavior for the durations of wake periods. We develop a stochastic model which agrees with the data and suggests that the difference in the dynamics of sleep and wake states arises from the constraints on the number of microstates in the sleep-wake system.

description: In this contribution, we re-describe the holotype (i.e., the posterior fragment of a left dentary with dentition) of Cargninia enigmatica from the Riograndia Assemblage Zone, Candelária Sequence, Santa Maria Supersequence (Upper Triassic, Brazil), originally considered a member of the Lepidosauria. In addition, two other specimens of lepidosauromorphs from the same locality are described and compared. Broad comparisons suggest that C. enigmatica possesses a unique combination of features, but several key features are widely distributed among basal non-rhynchocephalian lepidosauromorphs and kuehneosaurids. Thus, two possible scenarios are proposed: (1) Cargninia is a basal non-lepidosaurian lepidosauromorph, or (2) it is a basal lepidosaurian. The new specimens are a portion of a right maxilla with teeth (in two fragments) and a fragment of a dentary with teeth. The first specimen is identified as a lepidosauromorph because the maxilla cannot be directly compared with the holotype of C. enigmatica and it is difficult to evaluate if the differences in the dentition (upper versus lower teeth) are the result of intra- or interspecific variation. The dentary, on the other hand, is tentatively referred to C. enigmatica. These specimens together add new clues to understanding the early evolution of Lepidosauromorpha.

description: Since its first appearance in 1971, Gutzwiller's trace formula has been extended to systems with continuous symmetries, in which not all periodic orbits are isolated. In order to avoid the divergences occurring in connection with symmetry breaking and orbit bifurcations (characteristic of systems with mixed classical dynamics), special uniform approximations have been developed. We first summarize some of the recent developments in this direction. Then we present applications of the extended trace formulae to describe prominent gross-shell effects of various finite fermion systems (atomic nuclei, metal clusters, and a mesoscopic device) in terms of the leading periodic orbits of their suitably modeled classical mean-field Hamiltonians.

description: The development and adoption of new innovation in livestock production (including products, practices and genetics) can help farmers produce more food, more sustainably. Conservation organisations, among others, are calling for the need to freeze the environmental footprint of agriculture, particularly animal agriculture. In so doing, food can also be kept more affordable. This is an achievable goal. For example, with existing innovations, such as improved animal welfare, nutrition and genetics, we can raise the average annual increase in global milk yield from 13.5 litres/yr/cow to 24 litres. Realising this potential involves a combination of commercial opportunity, corporate responsibility and responsiveness to post-farm gate consumer dynamics. It also requires predictable science-based policy to support innovation across diverse production systems, and to facilitate global food trade.

description: Within perturbative QCD, we develop a new picture for the parton shower generated by a jet propagating through a dense quark-gluon plasma. This picture combines in a simple, factorised, way multiple medium-induced parton branchings and standard vacuum-like emissions, with the phase-space for the latter constrained by the presence of the medium. We implement this picture as a Monte Carlo generator that we use to study two phenomenologically important observables: the jet nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ and the $z_g$ distribution reflecting the jet substructure. In both cases, the outcome of our Monte Carlo simulations is in good agreement with the LHC measurements. We provide basic analytic calculations that help explaining the main features observed in the data. We find that the energy loss by the jet is increasing with the jet transverse momentum, due to a rise in the number of partonic sources via vacuum-like emissions. This is a key element in our description of both $R_{AA}$ and the $z_g$ distribution. For the latter, we identify two main nuclear effects: incoherent jet energy loss and hard medium-induced emissions. As the jet transverse momentum increases, we predict a qualitative change in the ratio between the $z_g$ distributions in PbPb and pp collisions: from increasing at small $z_g$, this ratio becomes essentially flat, or even slightly decreasing.

description: We calculate the tree-level expressions for the electroweak precision observables in the SU(5)/SO(5) littlest Higgs model. The source for these corrections are the exchange of heavy gauge bosons, explicit corrections due to non-linear sigma-model dynamics and a triplet Higgs VEV. Weak isospin violating contributions are present because there is no custodial SU(2) global symmetry. The bulk of these weak isospin violating corrections arise from heavy gauge boson exchange while a smaller contribution comes from the triplet Higgs VEV. A global fit is performed to the experimental data and we find that throughout the parameter space the symmetry breaking scale is bounded by f > 4 TeV at 95% C.L. Stronger bounds on f are found for generic choices of the high energy gauge couplings. We find that even in the best case scenario one would need fine tuning of less than a percent to get a Higgs mass as light as 200 GeV.

description: This paper investigates market integration and asymmetric price transmission in the world rice export markets. Using monthly rice prices from Thailand, Vietnam, and United States, we employ the Johansen test and estimate the threshold vector error correction model (TVECM). Our main findings are that export prices in the three countries are cointegrated, with Thailand and the United States the price leaders, and that the Vietnamese price adjusts faster to long-run equilibrium when it is above its equilibrium level with Thai and U.S. prices. These results suggest market integration and competition rather than collusion are prevalent in world rice markets. Policy implications are also briefly discussed.
Osteology and Taxonomy of British Wealden Supergroup (Berriasian–aptian) Ankylosaurs (Ornithischia, Ankylosauria)

description: Ankylosaurs, dinosaurs possessing extensive body armor, were significant components of terrestrial ecosystems from the Middle Jurassic–latest Cretaceous. They diversified during the Early Cretaceous, becoming globally widespread. The Lower Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup (Berriasian–Aptian) of Britain has produced abundant ankylosaur material, with three currently recognized taxa: Hylaeosaurus armatus (Grinstead Clay Formation, West Sussex); Polacanthus foxii (Wessex Formation, Isle of Wight); and Horshamosaurus rudgwickensis (Weald Clay Group, West Sussex). However, these taxa are poorly understood; the initial descriptions of Hylaeosaurus and Polacanthus date from the 1800s and subsequent referrals of specimens have been based largely on provenance rather than morphological comparisons. This has led to uncertainty over the definitions of these taxa and the compositions of their hypodigms. Here, we redescribe the holotypes of Hylaeosaurus and Polacanthus, provide comparisons between these taxa, and use this information to assess the taxonomy of all ankylosaur specimens from the British Wealden Supergroup. We conclude that Hylaeosaurus and Polacanthus are valid, distinct taxa, which can be diagnosed by a combination of autapomorphies and a unique combination of characters. However, in both cases, we restrict their hypodigms to the holotypes. ‘Horshamosaurus rudgwickensis’ is a nomen dubium (an indeterminate nodosaurid dinosaur) and the majority of ankylosaur specimens from the Wealden Supergroup are taxonomically indeterminate. Hylaeosaurus and Polacanthus are separated stratigraphically, with Hylaeosaurus from the Valanginian of the Weald Sub-basin and Polacanthus from the Barremian of the Wessex Sub-basin. This separation supports the hypothesis of distinct lower and upper dinosaur faunas in the Wealden Supergroup of Britain.

description: This paper investigates spatial, quality, and temporal factors impacting prices of calves and yearlings in the western United States using satellite video auction data and a hedonic regression framework. Prices received by western ranchers are discounted by approximately the costs of shipping cattle to the Midwest for processing. Other key results include identifying the presence of temporal price premiums for seller-offered forward contracts, providing new estimates of the marginal value associated with key quality attributes and management practices and finding support for the price benefits of third-party quality certification. We also link variability in estimated valuations for value-added attributes to the stage of the cattle cycle.
Note on Bulk Reconstruction in AdS$_3$/WCFT$_2$

description: The bulk reconstructions in AdS/CFT and its cousins are essential to understand the holographic nature of quantum gravity. In this work, we try to study the bulk reconstruction in the AdS$_3$/WCFT$_2$ correspondence. After deriving the bulk-boundary propagator, which is different from the usual one in AdS/CFT, we define the bulk proto-scalar field by using the Virasoro-Kac-Moody symmetry in two different ways. One is to impose the bulk primary conditions on the field and construct the field algebraically. The other is to use the bulk-boundary vacuum OPE block, which can be read by applying the diffeomorphism preserving the CSS boundary conditions. Two approaches lead to consistent picture.

description: We shortly summarize the two-families scenario in which both hadronic stars and strange quark stars can exist and we describe the main predictions one can obtain from it. We then concentrate on the observables that most likely will be measured in the near future, i.e. masses, radii, tidal deformabilities and moments of inertia and we present a list of objects that are candidate strange quark stars in this scheme. We show that the estimates of the radii derived up to now from observations are all compatible with the two-families scenario and in particular all the objects having large radii can easily be interpreted as strange quark stars.
