description: Background: Neurosciences research has increased significantly in recent years around the world. It has led to the development of interdisciplinary work, moving from activities from isolated fields (such as biology, psychology or neurology) to research that involves different scientific perspectives. In developing regions, such as Latin America, it has additional challenges, related to available funding and infrastructure. Aim: To analyze key factors in scientific productivity in neurosciences in Latin America. Methods: A bibliometric analysis of the scientific productivity in neurosciences in main five Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico) was carried out. Results: Brazil was the largest producer of scientific articles, and receptor of citations, in neurosciences in 1998-2017, followed by Mexico. We identified highly cited papers, top institutions, networks of authors, main journals and key areas in neurosciences for this period in the 5 countries. Conclusions: Scientific productivity in neurosciences in Latin America would benefit from the consolidation of more regional, interdisciplinary and international research networks. In this work, we discuss key elements for the consolidation of neurosciences research in Latin America.

description: Machine learning algorithms relying on deep neural networks recently allowed a great leap forward in artificial intelligence. Despite the popularity of their applications, the efficiency of these algorithms remains largely unexplained from a theoretical point of view. The mathematical description of learning problems involves very large collections of interacting random variables, difficult to handle analytically as well as numerically. This complexity is precisely the object of study of statistical physics. Its mission, originally pointed towards natural systems, is to understand how macroscopic behaviors arise from microscopic laws. Mean-field methods are one type of approximation strategy developed in this view. We review a selection of classical mean-field methods and recent progress relevant for inference in neural networks. In particular, we remind the principles of derivations of high-temperature expansions, the replica method and message passing algorithms, highlighting their equivalences and complementarities. We also provide references for past and current directions of research on neural networks relying on mean-field methods.

description: International agricultural research aimed at improving productivity in developing countries also has spill-over effects on developed countries. Research that affects the supply of commodities is also likely to affect the world price of tradeable commodities. In this paper, the effects of spill-overs to Australia from successful cost-reducing research into sorghum and chickpeas at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) aimed at developing countries are assessed. Genetic materials developed and distributed through ICRISAT are used in Australia to increase productivity. The price-reducing effects of successful research are incorporated into the analysis of spill-over impacts on productivity. The net effects on welfare for producers and consumers of sorghum and chickpeas in Australia and the Rest of the World (ROW) are identified. The consequences of the impacts are discussed and the implications for further funding of international agricultural research are also discussed. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

description: Background: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with early detection
crucial for effective treatment. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as imaging
and biopsies, are often limited by invasiveness, cost, and sensitivity. Blood-based
multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests offer a less invasive and potentially
more comprehensive approach. Recently, a novel screening tool, the Carcimun®
test was reported, detecting conformational changes in plasma proteins through
optical extinction measurements. This study evaluates the Carcimun® test’s
performance, including participants with inflammatory conditions.
Methods: This prospective, single-blinded study included 172 participants: 80
healthy volunteers, 64 cancer patients (various types), and 28 individuals with
inflammatory conditions (fibrosis, sarcoidosis, pneumonia) or benign tumors.
Plasma samples were analyzed using the Carcimun® test. Sensitivity, specificity,
positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV)were calculated.
Results: Mean extinction values were significantly higher in cancer patients (315.1)
compared to healthy individuals (23.9) and those with inflammatory conditions
(62.7) (p<0.001). The Carcimun® test distinguished these groups with high
accuracy (95.4%), sensitivity (90.6%), and specificity (98.2%). Significant
differences were found between healthy participants and cancer patients
(p<0.001), and between cancer patients and those with inflammation (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The Carcimun® test achieved high accuracy, sensitivity, and
specificity, effectively identifying cancer patients while minimizing false positives
and negatives. By including participants with inflammatory conditions, we
addressed a significant limitation of previous studies, demonstrating the test’s
robustness in real-world clinical scenarios. These findings underscore the potential
of the Carcimun® test as a valuable tool for early cancer detection and screening.

description: We present the first numerical study of the ultraviolet dynamics of non-asymptotically free gauge-fermion theories at large number of matter fields. As testbed theories we consider non-abelian SU(2) gauge theories with 24 and 48 Dirac fermions on the lattice. For these number of flavors asymptotic freedom is lost and the theories are governed by a gaussian fixed point at low energies. In the ultraviolet they can develop a physical cutoff and therefore be trivial, or achieve an interacting safe fixed point and therefore be fundamental at all energy scales. We demonstrate that the gradient flow method can be successfully implemented and applied to determine the renormalized running coupling when asymptotic freedom is lost. Additionally, we prove that our analysis is connected to the gaussian fixed point as our results nicely match with the perturbative beta function. Intriguingly, we observe that it is hard to achieve large values of the renormalized coupling on the lattice. This might be an early sign of the existence of a physical cutoff and imply that a larger number of flavors is needed to achieve the safe fixed point. A more conservative interpretation of the results is that the current lattice action is unable to explore the deep ultraviolet region where safety might emerge. Our work constitutes an essential step towards determining the ultraviolet fate of non asymptotically free gauge theories.

description: Inflation produces a primordial spectrum of gravity waves in addition to the density perturbations which seed structure formation. We compute the signature of these gravity waves in the large scale shear field. In particular, the shear can be divided into a gradient mode (G or E) and a curl mode (C or B). The former is produced by both density perturbations and gravity waves, while the latter is produced only by gravity waves, so the observations of a non-zero curl mode could be seen as evidence for inflation. We find that the expected signal from inflation is small, peaking on the largest scales at $l(l+1)C_l/2π< 10^{-11}$ at $l=2$ and falling rapidly there after. Even for an all-sky deep survey, this signal would be below noise at all multipoles. Part of the reason for the smallness of the signal is a cancellation on large scales of the standard line-of-sight effect and the effect of ``metric shear.''

description: This paper develops a short-run microeconomic simulation model of the Dutch glasshouse industry in order to investigate the relation between technical efficiency and marginal abatement costs of C02 emission. The model is also used to determine the effects of an emission tax and systems of tradable and non-tradable quota for groups of firms with different rates of technical efficiency. The results show that marginal abatement costs are very responsive to changes in technical efficiency. Furthermore, it is found that firms with a low technical efficiency are faced with a higher profit reduction under different abatement policies than firms with a high technical efficiency. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: Der Baustoffhandel ist eine Branche, die einer starken Veränderungen in Bezug auf die Digitalisierung im B2B-Vertrieb unterworfen ist. Die Digitalisierung ist nicht aufzuhalten und beeinflusst somit auch den B2B-Vertrieb im Baustoffhandel. Viele unterschiedliche Einflussfaktoren wirken auf den B2B-Vertrieb ein. Dadurch ergeben sich Vor- und Nachteile für die Unternehmen und deren AußendienstmitarbeiterInnen sowie der EinkäuferInnen und KundInnen. Auch die unterschiedlichen Generationen von Menschen beeinflussen online und offline Abläufe im B2B-Vertrieb. Darüber hinaus wird untersucht, ob AußendienstmitarbeiterInnen zukünftig überhaupt noch benötigt werden, oder E-Commerce den persönlichen B2B-Vertrieb ersetzen könnte. Zusätzlichen Herausforderungen wie der Corona-Pandemie und der Energiekrise müssen sich die BaustoffhändlerInnen stellen. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit erforscht die Chancen und Risiken durch Digitalisierung des B2B-Vertriebs im Baustoffhandel. Im Theorieteil werden die Vertriebsaufgaben der AußendienstmitarbeiterInnen und deren Vertriebsformen untersucht. Darüber hinaus werden die Herausforderungen und die Mehrkanalvertriebsmöglichkeiten im E-Commerce untersucht. Im empirischen Teil dieser Masterarbeit werden Zukunftsperspektiven von AußendienstmitarbeiterInnen und E-Commerce anhand von qualitativen ExpertInneninterviews erforscht. Für die ExpertInneninterviews wurden leitende Personen im Baustoffhandel ausgewählt. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, dass die AußendienstmitarbeiterInnen zukünftig nicht durch E-Commerce ersetzt werden, sondern die Kombination von persönlicher Beratung der B2B-KundInnen und digitale Bestellmöglichkeiten parallel genutzt werden. Darüber hinaus wurde aus den ExpertInneninterviews erkannt, dass der Baustoffhandel zukünftig ein zentrales Bestellsystem benötigt. In diesem Bestellsystem müssen B2B-KundInnen sowie die B2B-EinkäuferInnen Produktbestellungen bei den Baustoffindustrien tätigen können.

description: The distribution of welfare gains of genetic improvements in major US crops is estimated using a world agricultural trade model. Multi-market welfare estimates were 75% larger than estimates based on the price-exogenous 'change in revenue' method frequently used by plant breeders. Annual benefits of these genetic improvements range from US$ 400-600 million depending on the supply shift specification. Of this, 44-60% accrues to the US, 24-34% accrues to other developed countries. Developing and transitional economies capture 16-22% of the welfare gain. The global benefits of a one-time permanent increase in US yields are US$ 8.1 billion (discounted at 10%) and US$ 15.4 billion (discounted at 5%). Gains to consumers in developing and transitional economies range from US$ 6.1 billion ( 10% discount rate) to US$ 11.6 billion (5% discount rate). © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

description: We study the persistence in a class of continuous stochastic processes that are stationary only under integer shifts of time. We show that under certain conditions, the persistence of such a continuous process reduces to the persistence of a corresponding discrete sequence obtained from the measurement of the process only at integer times. We then construct a specific sequence for which the persistence can be computed even though the sequence is non-Markovian. We show that this may be considered as a limiting case of persistence in the diffusion process on a hierarchical lattice.

description: The reasons for the spectacular collapse of so many centrally-planned economies are a source of ongoing debate. In this paper, we use detailed farm-level data to measure total factor productivity (TFP) changes in Mongolian grain and potato farming during the 14-year period immediately preceding the 1990 economic reforms. We measure TFP growth using stochastic frontier analysis (SPA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods. Our results indicate quite poor overall performance, with an average annual TFP change of -1.7% in grain and 0.8% in potatoes, over the 14-year period. However, the pattern of TFP growth changed substantially during this period, with TFP growth exceeding 7% per year in the latter half of this period. This suggests that the new policies of improved education, greater management autonomy, and improved incentives, which were introduced in final two planning periods in the 1980s, were beginning to have a significant influence upon the performance of Mongolian crop farming.

description: We develop a theory for describing frictional drag in bilayer systems with in-plane periodic potential modulations, and use it to investigate the drag between bilayer systems in which one of the layers is modulated in one direction. At low temperatures, as the density of carriers in the modulated layer is changed, we show that the transresistivity component in the direction of modulation can change its sign. We also give a physical explanation for this behavior.

description: The main part of this work is to present a formula allowing a microscopic derivation of the Schwarzschild black hole entropy in arbitrary dimension. More generally, this Cardy-like formula applies for static black holes whose gravitational entropy scales as a power of the temperature, and is also effective for negative heat capacity solutions. The formula involves the scaling power, the black hole mass and the energy of a gravitational soliton identified as the ground state of the theory. The robustness of this formula is verified in the most famous example of solution with negative heat capacity, namely the Schwarzschild black hole. The mass of the Schwarzschild regular soliton is computed using the counterterm method for asymptotically flat spacetimes. Corrections of the black hole entropy of the order of logarithm of the area are shown to arise for dimensions strictly greater than four. Finally, we will see that a slight modification of the Cardy-like formula involving the angular generator, perfectly reproduces the four-dimensional Kerr entropy.

description: This paper employs a latent variable approach to isolate the effects of changing tastes on the share of total meat expenditure on different categories of meat products in Greece during the period 1965-1995. We find that changes in the relative expenditure on different categories of meat cannot be explained by changes in the relative prices of the different meat products and increased expenditure alone. For pork products in particular, the increase in the share of expenditure has been greater than would be expected as a result of the relative fall in their price. The increase can therefore be associated with changes in taste. This finding is of general interest to those conducting empirical research into consumer behaviour both in economies where there have been significant changes in patterns of food consumption, and where, as in the case of many less industrialised economies, rapid structural changes in food consumption patterns are still to come. It is also of importance to policy makers in assessing the effectiveness of advertising or promotional campaigns in influencing longer term changes in consumer preferences for different products.

description: Sigaloethina n.gen.
 Type species. Sigaloethina phaia n.sp. (Fig. 23).
 Diagnosis. Dark flies having fairly to noticeably glossy cuticle; head higher than long; face depressed and partially membranous; lower face, above vibrissal angle, without tubercle (like Dasyrhicnoessa); cephalic chaetotaxy typical of subfamily (though with setulae of frons and vittae a little impoverished in numbers); frons without discernible shining patch on both sides of ocellar triangle; arista of postpedicel bearing spaced, long hairs; eye densely micropubescent, very large, its longest diameter over 8× as long as genal height. Thorax entirely dark brown, glossy, slightly convex dorsally, with chaetotaxy typical of subfamily; disc of scutellum bare; thoracic cuticle covered with more or less faint grey microtomentum. Legs evenly setulose except for foreleg having coxa and femur with long setae; ctenidium of fore femur vestigial or even absent; mid femur of male with row of posteroventral, spine-like setae on entire length of femur; all legs with femora dark brown, remaining parts yellow to yellowish brown. Wing like those in Dasyrhicnoessa species, that is with vein R 2+3 slightly bisinuate; halter yellowish. Abdomen shining, black, with narrow, apicomarginal, pale brownish stripe on each tergite; tergites bearing several black setae and setulae. Male terminalia with lobe-shaped anterior surstylus (Fig. 24) noticeably larger than posterior surstylus, latter straight and relatively narrow; anterior surstylus bearing characteristic triangular patch of microtrichia on outer surface; both surstyli bearing several tubercles on inner sides (Fig. 25); cerci small; distiphallus (Fig. 26) fairly complex, bearing membranous lobe medially; postabdomen of female with two spherical, smooth spermathecae.
 Remarks. Sigaloethina is closely related to Dasyrhicnoessa differing from it particularly in having the body cuticle noticeably glossy, the frons lacking a discernible shining patch on both sides of the ocellar triangle, the setal vestiture of the frons slightly, even though distinctly, sparce, and for the peculiar morphology of the male terminalia. On the basis of the present knowledge, Sigaloethina might be regarded as the sister group of Dasyrhicnoessa.
 Etymology. The generic epithet derives from the fusion of the ancient Greek word sigaloeis meaning glossy or shiny, with the generic name Tethina, and refers to the body of these flies having glossy cuticle. Gender feminine.

description: In multivalley semiconductors, the valley degree of freedom can be potentially used to store, manipulate and read quantum information, but its control remains challenging. The valleys in bilayer graphene can be addressed by a perpendicular magnetic field which couples by the valley g-factor. However, control over the valley g-factor has not been demonstrated yet. We experimentally determine the energy spectrum of a quantum point contact realized by a suitable gate geometry in bilayer graphene. Using finite bias spectroscopy we measure the energy scales arising from the lateral confinement as well as the Zeeman splitting and find a spin g-factor of 2. The valley g-factor can be tuned by a factor of 3 using vertical electric fields, reaching values between 40 and 120. The results are quantitatively explained by a calculation considering topological magnetic moment and its dependence on confinement and the vertical displacement field.

 Types. Dennant (1904: 6) described the species based on “the type” (= holotype) and an unspecified number of worn specimens from St. Vincent Gulf and Backstairs Passage. The holotype was stated to measure 6× 3 mm in CD and 7.3 mm in height. Not able to find type material of Trematotrochus verconis Dennant, 1904, Cairns & Parker (1992) established a neotype (SAM H542) from the Verco collection that was collected close to the type locality. From Dennant’s figures, they inferred that Dennant included two species in his description: a species having 40 septa and 4 size classes of septa, which Cairns & Parker considered to be typical T. verconis, and a species with a more elongate corallum and more septa, and only 3 size classes of septa, which they named T. alternans n.sp. But, a year later, Stranks (1993) discovered 17 of the purported types of T. verconis at the NMV (F43270). Ironically, all of these type specimens, including one that corresponds to the exact measurement of the holotype (recently recatalogued as F96127), correspond to the species Cairns & Parker described as T. alternans. According to the ICZN (1999: article 75.8), a neotype must be set aside if the original type material is discovered, so F. verconis is the name that must apply to the species having the more elongate calice and higher number of septa arranged in three size classes (F. alternans sensu Cairns & Parker, 1992). Thus, a new name must be provided for the species referred to as F. verconis by Cairns & Parker (1992), i.e., F. parkeri.
 The holotype of F. alternans is deposited at the SAM (H547); paratypes are also deposited at the SAM, NNM, NMV, and USNM. Type Locality: St. Francis Island, South Australia, 27–37 m.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Clusters of galaxies are the largest organized structures in the Universe. They are important cosmological probes, since they are large enough to contain a fair sample of the materials in the Universe, but small enough to have achieved dynamical equilibrium. Clusters were first discovered as concentrations of hundreds of bright galaxies in a region about 3 megaparsecs (10 million light years) across. However, the dominant observed form of matter in clusters is hot, diffuse intergalactic gas. This intracluster plasma has typical temperatures of T ~ 7e7 K, and typical electron densities of n_e ~ 10^{-3} cm^{-3}. This intracluster plasma mainly emits X-rays, and typical cluster X-ray luminosities are L_X ~ 10^{43} - 10^{45} erg/s. The basic properties of and physical processes in the intracluster plasma will be reviewed. Important observational constraints on plasma processes in these systems will be discussed. Recent X-ray observations of clusters of galaxies with the orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory will be highlighted.

description: We carry out two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of an ensemble of Alfvénic fluctuations propagating in a structured, expanding solar wind including the presence of fast and slow solar wind streams. Using an appropriate expanding box model, the simulations incorporate the effects of fast-slow stream shear and compression and rarefaction self-consistently. We investigate the radial and longitudinal evolution of the cross-helicity, the total and residual energies and the power spectra of outward and inward Alfvénic fluctuations. The stream interaction is found to strongly affect the radial evolution of Alfvénic turbulence. The total energy in the Alfvén waves is depleted within the velocity shear regions, accompanied by the decrease of the normalized cross-helicity. The presence of stream-compression facilitates this process. Residual energy fluctuates around zero due to the correlation and de-correlation between the inward/outward waves but no net growth or decrease of the residual energy is observed. The radial power spectra of the inward/outward Alfvén waves show significant longitudinal variations. Kolmogorov-like spectra are developed only inside the fast and slow streams and when both the compression and shear are present. On the other hand, the spectra along the longitudinal direction show clear Kolmogorov-like inertial ranges in all cases.

Model of the mixed state of type-II superconductors in high magnetic fields

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: In superconductors with large values of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter, exposed to magnetic fields close to the upper critical field, the magnetic field is practically homogeneous across the sample and the density of supercurrents is negligibly small. In this case, there is no obvious reason for the formation of Abrikosov vortices, characteristic for the commonly known mixed state. We consider an alternative model for describing the mixed state. We argue that with decreasing magnetic field the traditional vortex structure is adopted via a first order phase transition, revealed by discontinuities in the magnetization as well as the resistivity.

Lissotrochus

description: Lissotrochus n.gen.
 Diagnosis. Corallum ceratoid and cornute, with a pointed base. Calice elliptical in cross section; GCD up to 3.25 mm. Costae broad and rounded, bearing tiny spines laterally; intercostal regions deep and narrow, not pitted or porous; most of theca covered by a thin epitheca. Higher cycle costae originate by trifurcation; costae correspond to septa; C: S = 1. Septa exsert and hexamerally arranged in 4 incomplete cycles. Paliform lobes present before S2 and sometimes P3. Columella papillose.
 Type species. Lissotrochus curvatus, here designated.
 Remarks. Among the 28 turbinoliid genera (Cairns, 1997), Lissotrochus is most similar to Cryptotrochus and Pleotrochus, all three genera having an imperforate theca without transverse division, P2, a papillose columella, and four cycles of septa. But, Lissotrochus is quite different from both genera in its cornute, ceratoid shape; smooth (not serrate) costae; elliptical (not round) calice; presence of both P2 and P3 as paliform lobes; and in having an extensive epithecal covering. It is further distinguished from Pleotrochus by having costal trifurcations and the same number of costae as septa, and from Cryptotrochus by having independently arranged septa.
 Etymology. lissos, Greek for “smooth” + trochos, Greek for “wheel”, the latter a common suffix of coral generic names., an allusion to the smooth epitheca of this genus. Gender: masculine.

description: Autonomous driving is a dynamically growing field of research, where quality and amount of experimental data is critical. Although several rich datasets are available these days, the demands of researchers and technical possibilities are evolving. Through this paper, we bring a new dataset recorded in Brno, Czech Republic. It offers data from four WUXGA cameras, two 3D LiDARs, inertial measurement unit, infrared camera and especially differential RTK GNSS receiver with centimetre accuracy which, to the best knowledge of the authors, is not available from any other public dataset so far. In addition, all the data are precisely timestamped with sub-millisecond precision to allow wider range of applications. At the time of publishing of this paper, recordings of more than 350 km of rides in varying environment are shared at: https: //github.com/RoboticsBUT/Brno-Urban-Dataset.

description: Because the physical interpretation of the spin-polarization of a ferromagnet determined by point-contact Andreev reflection (PCAR) is non-trivial, we have carried out parameter-free calculations of PCAR spectra based upon a scattering-theory formulation of Andreev reflection generalized to spin-polarized systems and a tight-binding linear muffin tin orbital method for calculating the corresponding scattering matrices. PCAR is found to measure the spin-dependent interface transparency rather than the bulk polarization of the ferromagnet which is strongly overestimated by free electron model fitting.
