 Comparison of the data provided in the descriptions of C. livida, C. microdon pallida and C. obscura by Brauer (1906: 82, 85 and 88–89, respectively) with those in his list of stations (pp. 357–364), as well as with the number of syntypes listed by Fricke et al. (2021a) revealed several discrepancies. Brauer had many more specimen (Table 3), all apparently syntypes, than the number cited by Fricke et al. (2021a). For C. pallida, Fricke et al. (2021a) estimated about 100 specimens for ZMB 19315–18, but ZMB’s database shows no counts for these lots. On the other hand, Fricke et al. (2021a) give no count for ZMB 22316–23, but the database indicates a total of 54 specimens. In addition, Fricke et al. (2021a) listed ZMB 19315–18 among the syntypes of C. pallida, but according to the museum’s database the specimens in these lots were collected by the Gauss Expedition sometime between 14 October 1901 and 20 October 1903, so they cannot be syntypes of C. pallida. Of the 36 station numbers listed by Brauer (1906: 85) in the description of C. microdon pallida (Table 3), only three stations (42, 170 and 227) were included in the list of stations. Oddly, station 207, cited by Brauer (1902) as the source of his measured specimen of C. pallida, was not among the station numbers listed in his description of C. microdon pallida (Brauer (1906: 85). Moreover, the latter is not among the names of captured taxa at station 207 in his list of stations (Brauer 1906: 361).
 Another mismatch was found with station 66, listed in the description of C. livida (Brauer 1906: 82), but this species is not among the taxa listed under this station number in Brauer’s (1906: 358) list of stations.
 As for C. obscura, we found no data mismatches between Brauer’s (1906) description and the station list, but one of the specimens (ZMB 19321) mentioned by Fricke et al. (2021a) was collected during the Gauss Expedition and therefore cannot be a syntype.

description: The orbital dynamics of the binary point-mass systems is ambiguous at the third post-Newtonian order of approximation. The static ambiguity is known to be related to the difference between the Brill-Lindquist solution and the Misner-Lindquist solution of the time-symmetric conformally flat initial value problem for binary black holes. The kinetic ambiguity is noticed to violate in general the standard relation between the center-of-mass velocity and the total linear momentum as demanded by global Lorentz invariance.

description: Einer der Gründe für die bisher oft divergenten Forschungsergebnisse im Bereich nicht-visueller Wirkungen des Lichts auf den Menschen könnte in der meist unzureichenden Beschreibung der genutzten Lichtsituation liegen. Oft wird die Intensität des Stimulus mit der vertikalen Beleuchtungsstärke am Auge beschrieben. Forschungsergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Sensitivität von intrinsischphotosensitiven retinalen Ganglienzellen von der Lage auf der Netzhaut abhängen kann, weshalb die Lichteinfallsrichtung zur Beschreibung des Stimulus betrachtet werden sollte. Dieser Artikel beschreibt das Vorgehen zur Durchführung eines Probandenversuchs, der die Annahmen zur Richtungsabhängigkeit in Nacht- und Tagsituationen überprüfen soll.
description: One of the reasons for the often divergent research results in the field of non-image-forming effects (NIF) of light on humans might be the mostly inadequate description of the lighting situation used in studies. The intensity of the stimulus is often described only by the vertical illuminance at the eye. Research results suggest that the sensitivity of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) may depend on their location on the retina, so the direction of light incidence should be considered to describe the stimulus. This article describes the procedure for conducting a human subject study to assess the assumptions about directional dependence in night and day situations.

description: Neutron transfer reactions with fast secondary beams of $^{17}$Ne, $^{15}$O, and $^9$C have been studied with the HiRA and CAESAR arrays. Excited states of $^{18}$Ne, $^{16}$O, and $^{10}$C in the continuum have been identified using invariant-mass spectroscopy. The best experimental resolution of these states is achieved by selecting events where the decay fragments are emitted transverse to the beam direction. We have confirmed a number of spin assignments made in previous works for the negative-parity states of $^{18}$Ne. In addition we have found new higher-lying excited states in $^{16}$O and $^{18}$Ne, some of which fission into two ground-state $^8$Be fragments. Finally for $^{10}$C, a new excited state was observed. These transfer reactions were found to leave the remnant of the $^9$Be target nuclei at very high excitation energies and maybe associated with the pickup of a deeply-bound $^9$Be neutron.

description: Eshing Ekai Thabi, commonly known as water mimosa, water sensitive plant, is a pantropical nitrogen-fixing perennial legume usually considered as an aquatic weed in some countries, however, the plant is used as a vegetable by the Meiteis, the valley inhabitants of the state of Manipur, and is considered as a local delicacy. The present study was undertaken to document the traditional mode of eating and the nutritional and medicinal benefit of consumption of water mimosa by the Meiteis of Manipur. It was observed that in addition to various use of the plant as a local delicacy, it is used for treatment of against intestinal infections, dysentery, earache and also as vermifuge. The nutrient rich potential of the plant plays an important role against malnutrition in the weaker section of the society. The plant is found cultivated during the rainy season in the ponds and wetlands in valley areas of Imphal and usually perish when the water level falls during the dry season.

description: We present a detailed numerical study of the orthogonality catastrophe exponent for a one-dimensional lattice model of spinless fermions with nearest neighbor interaction using the density matrix remormalization group algorithm. Keeping up to 1200 states per block we achieve a very great accuracy for the overlap which is needed to extract the orthogonality exponent reliably. We discuss the behavior of the exponent for three different kinds of a localized impurity. For comparison we also discuss the non-interacting case. In the weak impurity limit our results for the overlap confirm scaling behavior expected from perturbation theory and renormalization group calculations. In particular we find that a weak backward scattering component of the orthogonality exponent scales to zero for attractive interaction. In the strong impurity limit and for repulsive interaction we demonstrate that the orthogonality exponent cannot be extracted from the overlap for systems with up to 100 sites, due to finite size effects. This is in contradiction to an earlier interpretation given by Qin et al. based on numerical data for much smaller system sizes. Neverthless we find indirect evidence that the backward scattering contribution to the exponent scales to 1/16 based on predictions of boundary conformal field theory.

description: Malaria is among the most devastating human diseases, and a majority of lethal cases are caused by the protozoan parasite, Plasmodiumfalciparum. The emergence of multi-drug resistant P.falciparum is a major obstacle to malaria control and is highlighted by the abandonment of chloroquine (CQ) as a first-line treatment of P.falciparum infections worldwide. Chloroquine resistance (CQR) is associated primarily with mutations in the transmembrane digestive vacuole protein, PfCRT. However, CQR P.falciparum parasites harboring the same mutant pfcrt allele vary in their CQ response, suggesting the CQ response is multigenic in nature. No gene outside of pfcrt is completely associated with CQR. Thus, our understanding of the complex nature of CQ resistance remains inadequate. To study the evolutionary pathway and accompanying genetic changes associated with CQR, we employed a long-term in vitro on/off CQ selection strategy to select P.falciparum parasites capable of recovering from extended, high-dose CQ exposures. We posit the use of clinically relevant CQ doses for gradually longer durations will bottleneck the CQS parasite populations and select only those parasites harboring genetic backgrounds that provide a selective advantage. Also, the gradual increase in CQ selection pressure provides a timeline of the putative genetic and molecular changes that confer elevated CQ responses in natural populations. Here, we show selected and control parasite lines could survive a 48 h exposure to a CQ dose up to 400-fold greater than the estimated IC50• There was no change in CQ response between GC03 sequentially selected (GC03-CQ) and GC03 parasites. We did select a CQ-tolerant line (HB3-24 h) that showed a 1.7-fold higher 24 h LD50 and identified genetic changes located on chromosomes 10 and 12. We provide evidence that CQS P. falciparum parasites can survive high doses of CQ through a ring stage quiescence mechanism. Also, P. falciparum strains with different genetic backgrounds vary in their capacity to recrudesce. Our study implies P. falciparum recrudescence following high dose CQ exposure occurs readily in laboratory-treated parasites and may be a critical factor in malaria treatment failures.

description: We investigate the abundance of Super-Massive Black Hole (SMBH) seeds in primordial galaxy halos. We explore the assumption that dark matter halos outgrowing a critical halo mass M_c have some probability p of having spawned a SMBH seed. Current observations of local, intermediate-mass galaxies constrain these parameters: For $M_c=10^{11}M_\odot$, all halos must be seeded, but when adopting smaller M_c masses the seeding can be much less efficient. The constraints also put lower limits on the number density of black holes in the local and high-redshift Universe. Reproducing z~6 quasar space densities depends on their typical halo mass, which can be constrained by counting nearby Lyman Break Galaxies and Lyman Alpha Emitters. For both observables, our simulations demonstrate that single-field predictions are too diverse to make definitive statements, in agreement with mixed claims in the literature. If quasars are not limited to the most massive host halos, they may represent a tiny fraction (~10^-5) of the SMBH population. Finally, we produce a wide range of predictions for gravitational events from SMBH mergers. We define a new diagnostic diagram for LISA to measure both SMBH space density and the typical delay between halo merger and black hole merger. While previous works have explored specific scenarios, our results hold independent of the seed mechanism, seed mass, obscuration, fueling methods and duty cycle.

description: Neural Network is a powerful Machine Learning tool that shows outstanding performance in Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Artificial Intelligence. In particular, recently proposed ResNet architecture and its modifications produce state-of-the-art results in image classification problems. ResNet and most of the previously proposed architectures have a fixed structure and apply the same transformation to all input images. In this work, we develop a ResNet-based model that dynamically selects Computational Units (CU) for each input object from a learned set of transformations. Dynamic selection allows the network to learn a sequence of useful transformations and apply only required units to predict the image label. We compare our model to ResNet-38 architecture and achieve better results than the original ResNet on CIFAR-10.1 test set. While examining the produced paths, we discovered that the network learned different routes for images from different classes and similar routes for similar images.

description: We study carrier interaction induced many-body effects on the excitonic optical properties of highly photoexcited one-dimensional semiconductor quantum wire systems by solving the dynamically screened Bethe-Salpeter equation using realistic Coulomb interaction between carriers. Including dynamical screening effects in the electron/hole self-energy and in the electron-hole interaction vertex function, we find that the excitonic absorption is essentially peaked at a constant energy for a large range of photoexcitation density ($n= 0-6\times 10^5$ cm$^{-1}$), above which the absorption peak disappears without appreciable gain i.e., \textit{no} exciton to free electron-hole plasma Mott transition is observed, in contrast to previous theoretical results but in agreement with recent experimental findings. This absence of gain (or the non-existence of a Mott transition) arises from the strong inelastic scattering by one-dimensional plasmons or charge density excitations, closely related to the non-Fermi liquid nature of one-dimensional systems. Our theoretical work demonstrates a transition or a crossover in one-dimensional photoexcited electron-hole system from an effective Fermi liquid behavior associated with a dilute gas of noninteracting excitons in the low density region ($n<10^5$ cm$^{-1}$) to a non-Fermi liquid in the high density region ($n>10^5$ cm$^{-1}$). The conventional quasi-static approximation for this problem is also carried out to compare with the full dynamical results. Numerical results for exciton binding energy and absorption spectra are given as functions of carrier density and temperature.

By using a mean-field Schwinger-boson approach we present a unified description of the rich ground-state diagram, which include the plaquette and dimer resonant-valence-bond phases, an incommensurate phase and other magnetic orders with complex magnetic unit cells. We also discuss some implications of ours results for the experimental realization of this model in the CaV4O9 compound.

description: The spin rate Ωof neutron stars at a given temperature T is constrained by the interplay between gravitational-radiation instabilities and viscous damping. Navier-Stokes theory has been used to calculate the viscous damping timescales and produce a stability curve for r-modes in the (Ω,T) plane. In Navier-Stokes theory, viscosity is independent of vorticity, but kinetic theory predicts a coupling of vorticity to the shear viscosity. We calculate this coupling and show that it can in principle significantly modify the stability diagram at lower temperatures. As a result, colder stars can remain stable at higher spin rates.

description: Whilst rarely researched, the authenticity with which Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs) simulate practice is arguably critical to making valid judgements about candidates’ preparedness to progress in their training. We studied how and why an OSCE gave rise to different experiences of authenticity for different participants under different circumstances. We used Realist evaluation, collecting data through interviews/focus groups from participants across four UK medical schools who participated in an OSCE which aimed to enhance authenticity. Several features of OSCE stations (realistic, complex, complete cases, sufficient time, autonomy, props, guidelines, limited examiner interaction etc) combined to enable students to project into their future roles, judge and integrate information, consider their actions and act naturally. When this occurred, their performances felt like an authentic representation of their clinical practice. This didn’t work all the time: focusing on unavoidable differences with practice, incongruous features, anxiety and preoccupation with examiners’ expectations sometimes disrupted immersion, producing inauthenticity. The perception of authenticity in OSCEs appears to originate from an interaction of station design with individual preferences and contextual expectations. Whilst tentatively suggesting ways to promote authenticity, more understanding is needed of candidates’ interaction with simulation and scenario immersion in summative assessment.

description: Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness globally and is characterized by the gradual loss of retinal ganglion cells. The primary risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma is increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Numerous surgical interventions exist to lower IOP should conservative therapy fail. One trend in recent years has been minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) as an alternative to traditional methods. The ISTENT inject® is an ab interno trabecular micro-bypass implant designed to be implanted through the trabecular meshwork into the Schlemm’s canal to lower IOP. The aim of the study was the postoperative visualization and description of the positioning of the ISTENT inject® using automated circumferential goniophotography. Patients with symptomatic cataracts and mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEX), and pigment-dispersion glaucoma were included who underwent combined cataract surgery with the ISTENT inject® and received postoperative automated gonioscopy with the NIDEK Gonioscope GS-1 to visualize the location of the implant. Twenty-four implants of 14 eyes in 11 patients could be visualized. Out of the implants, 14.3% were in the trabecular meshwork, 46.4% were at the border between the trabecular meshwork and scleral spur, 25% were below the trabecular meshwork, and 14.3% of the implants were not detectable in the gonioscopy. In the overall cohort, a statistically significant IOP reduction was found over the 12-month postoperative observation period. Even in three eyes, in each of which both stents were located below the trabecular meshwork, an IOP reduction over 12 months was observed compared to the baseline IOP. In this study, vertical two-dimensional positioning of the ISTENT inject® was performed for the first time using NIDKE GS-1 automated 360° goniophotography. The method is suitable for postoperative visualization, control, and documentation of positioning after ISTENT inject® implantation. Further studies are needed to analyze the correlation between positioning of the ISTENT inject® in the chamber angle and postoperative IOP reduction.

Sex and housework: Does perceived fairness of the distribution of housework actually matter?
Creators: name: Hajek, Kristin
Publisher: name: JFR - Journal of Family Research
Year: 2019

description: Recent findings suggest that couples who perceive their housework distribution to be fair have more frequent sexual encounters and are more satisfied with their sex life. However, past research has relied on between-person comparisons and might therefore be biased due to unobserved confounders. By applying fixed effects panel models, this study seeks to eliminate all time-constant, group-specific heterogeneity. Using data from 1,315 cohabiting and married couples from the German Family Panel (pairfam), I have examined how changes in the distribution of housework and the perception of fairness affect sexual satisfaction and sexual frequency. Moreover, I distinguish between core (traditionally female) and non-core (traditionally male) household tasks to verify the hypothesis that a gender-stereotypic distribution of household tasks fosters sexual activity. No effect of the division of labor or the perception of fairness thereof on sexual satisfaction and sexual frequency could be found. Zusammenfassung Jüngste Befunde legen nahe, dass Paare, die ihre Hausarbeitsteilung als gerecht empfinden, häufiger Geschlechtsverkehr haben und zufriedener sind mit ihrem Sexualleben. Allerdings stützt sich die bisherige Forschung auf Vergleiche zwischen Personengruppen und könnte deshalb durch unbeobachtete Störfaktoren verzerrt sein. Durch die Verwendung von Fixed-Effects-Panel-Modellen strebt die vorliegende Studie an, jegliche zeitkonstante, gruppenspezifische Heterogenität zu eliminieren. Unter Verwendung der Daten von 1.315 zusammenlebenden und verheirateten Paare des deutschen Beziehungs- und Familienpanels (pairfam) habe ich untersucht, wie Veränderungen in der Hausarbeitsteilung und der Gerechtigkeitswahrnehmung die sexuelle Zufriedenheit und Koitushäufigkeit beeinflussen. Außerdem unterscheide ich zwischen traditionell weiblichen und männlichen Haushaltsaufgaben, um die Hypothese zu überprüfen, dass eine geschlechtstypische Hausarbeitsaufteilung sexuelle Aktivität fördert. Es konnte kein Effekt der Hausarbeitsteilung oder der wahrgenommenen Gerechtigkeit dieser Aufteilung auf die sexuelle Zufriedenheit und Koitushäufigkeit festgestellt werden.

It turns out that the power law dependence of the density of islands on the deposition rate agrees much better with the theoretical prediction than previous data obtained by other methods if random sequential instead of parallel updating is used.

description: We find supersymmetric extensions of the half-BPS soliton-impurity models in (1+1) dimensions which preserve half of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry. This is related to the fact that in the bosonic sector (i.e., the half-BPS soliton-impurity model), only one soliton (for example, the kink) is a BPS configuration which solves the pertinent Bogomolnyi equation and saturates the topological energy bound. On the other hand, the topological charge conjugate state (the antikink) is not a BPS solution. This means that it obeys the full Euler-Lagrange equation and does not saturate the topological energy bound. The supersymmetric approach also allows us to construct half-BPS soliton-impurity models in (2+1) dimensions. Concretely, in the case of the $CP^1$ model, its BPS impurity generalisation preserves one-quarter of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ SUSY, while for the Abelian Higgs model at critical coupling both impurity generalisations preserving one-quarter (the case of a new, so-called Higgs impurity) as well as one-half of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ SUSY (the case of the previously known magnetic impurity) are possible. We also discuss a possible relation between the BPS $CP^1$-impurity model and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction energy.

description: This paper examines how parent-child relationships vary against the backdrop of socio-economic inequalities evident in China. China is both an increasingly unequal and rapidly ageing country. Understanding how the relationships that older Chinese have with their children are associated with social inequalities is therefore of paramount importance. We do this by examining the effect of socio-economic indicators of the parent and child on their relationship in a multilevel, multinomial logit model of parentchild dyads using data from the Chinese Family Panel Study. First, the relationships we observe are not unidimensional and display complex patterns which deviate heavily from a ‘strong versus weak’ description of family ties. The results do not support a family displacement perspective of parent-child relationships but instead suggest that educational and financial resources facilitate support that is associated with greater emotional closeness and negates the need for support which places an emotional strain on the parent-child relationship. Zusammenfassung In diesem Artikel wird untersucht, wie die Eltern-Kind-Beziehungen vor dem Hintergrund sozialökonomischer Ungleichheiten, die in China evident sind, variieren. China ist gleichermaßen ein zunehmend von Ungleichheiten geprägtes wie ein rasch alterndes Land. Es ist daher von überragender Bedeutung zu verstehen, inwieweit die Beziehungen älterer Chinesen zu ihren Kindern mit sozioökonomischen Ungleichheiten assoziiert sind. Wir widmen uns dieser Frage, indem wir den Effekt sozialökonomischer Indikatoren für Eltern und Kinder auf deren Beziehung in einem multinominalen logistischen Mehrebenenmodell unter Verwendung von Daten der Chinese Family Panel Study für Eltern-Kind-Dyaden untersuchen. Die von uns beobachteten Beziehungen sind jedoch nicht eindimensional, sondern weisen komplexe Muster auf, die stark von einer „stark versus schwach“-Beschreibung der Familienbeziehungen abweichen. Die Ergebnisse stützen die Perspektive der Ablösung von der Familie in den Eltern-Kind-Beziehungen nicht, sondern legen stattdessen nahe, dass vorhandene Bildungs- und finanzielle Ressourcen eine Unterstützung erleichtern, die mit größerer emotionaler Nähe assoziiert ist und die Notwendigkeit solcher Unterstützung negieren, die der Eltern-Kind-Beziehung eine emotionalen Belastung auferlegen.

description: Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are changing the medical world, and AI will likely replace many of the actions performed by medical professionals. The overall clinical ability of the AI has been evaluated by its ability to answer a text-based national medical examination. This study uniquely assesses the performance of Open AI's ChatGPT against all Japanese National Medical Licensing Examination (NMLE), including images, illustrations, and pictures. We obtained the questions of the past six years of the NMLE (112th to 117th) from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website. We converted them to JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. We created an application programming interface (API) to output correct answers using GPT-4 for questions without images and GPT4-V(ision) or GPT4 console for questions with images. The percentage of image questions was 723/2400 (30.1%) over the past six years. In all years, GPT-4/4V exceeded the minimum score the examinee should score. In total, over the six years, the percentage of correct answers for basic medical knowledge questions was 665/905 (73.5%); for clinical knowledge questions, 1143/1531 (74.7%); and for image questions 497/723 (68.7%), respectively. Regarding medical knowledge, GPT-4/4V met the minimum criteria regardless of whether the questions included images, illustrations, and pictures. Our study sheds light on the potential utility of AI in medical education.

description: Additional file 1: Number of sequences to correct erroneous positions. 1a: this file illustrates the number of sequences necessary to obtain a majority of correct sequences. The x-axis shows the error rate and the y-axis shows the number of sequences needed, according to three possible probabilities: 0.001 0.01 and 0.05. 1b the x-axis shows the error rate for a given position (ranging from 0 to 0.5); the y-axis shows the cumulative proportion of erroneous sequences sampled (ranging from 0 to 0.5) in the total sample. Sample size varies from 10 to 100, 500 and 1,000 sequences. For a given error rate and a cumulative proportion of erroneous sequences in the sample of size N, the probability of observing this combination is indicated in color: green: 1 to 0.95, blue: 0.95 to 0.8, yellow: 0.8 to 0.6, orange: 0.6 to 0.5, red: 0.5 to 0.4, gray: 0.4 to 0.2 and white: below 0.2. For example, if the error rate is 0.2, the probability of observing a cumulative proportion of erroneous sequences in the sample of between 0 and 0.2 ranges between 0.4 and 0.5 (red envelope). In this case, the probability of there being 20% erroneous sequences in the sample is between 0.4 and 0.5. If we consider the same error rate (0.2) with 40% erroneous sequences, then the probability ranges from 0.8 to 0.95 (blue envelope). If N increases, the variance of the probability envelopes decreases. (PDF 5 MB)

description: Additional file 2: Distribution of errors along the reference sequences. The blue line represents the proportion of sequences generated (y-axis) according to the sequence position (x-axis), using data obtained from the analysis of reference 5 reference sequences (excluding reference #3, which is displayed in Figure 1). The error rate for each type of error (insertions, deletions, mismatches and ambiguous base calls) is presented as a function of the sequence position (x-axis) and specific position on the y-axis. The position and length of homopolymers for each base is given on the x-axis to facilitate interpretation (green: A, red: T, black: G, blue: C). (PDF 265 KB)

description: We consider maximal globally hyperbolic flat (2+1) spacetimes with compact space S of genus g>1. For any spacetime M of this type, the length of time that the events have been in existence is M defines a global time, called the cosmological time CT of M, which reveals deep intrinsic properties of spacetime. In particular, the past/future asymptotic states of the cosmological time recover and decouple the linear and the translational parts of the ISO(2,1)-valued holonomy of the flat spacetime. The initial singularity can be interpreted as an isometric action of the fundamental group of S on a suitable real tree. The initial singularity faithfully manifests itself as a lack of smoothness of the embedding of the CT level surfaces into the spacetime M. The cosmological time determines a real analytic curve in the Teichmuller space of Riemann surfaces of genus g, which connects an interior point (associated to the linear part of the holonomy) with a point on Thurston's natural boundary (associated to the initial singularity).

description: Additional file 3: Breakdown of error rate variation using all available variables. For each plate, we used a logistic model to decipher the role of each selected variable in explaining the variation of error rate (see materials and methods). The figure is broken down by error type: a) insertions, b) deletions, c) mismatches and d) ambiguous base calls. We tested the deviance from the complete model by breaking down the model into the sum of three terms: the first exclusive to the single effect of the variable considered (in black), the second exclusive effect of the rest of the variables without the variable of interest (in gray) and the last expressing the sum of the effects of interactions between the variable considered and the other variables (in white). The contribution of each term (the proportion) for a considered variable can be viewed on the y-axis. Additional file 3 displays the results for plates #2 and #3 (results from the plate #1 are presented as Figure 2). (PDF 117 KB)
Instability of many-body localized systems as a phase transition in a nonstandard thermodynamic limit

description: The many-body localization (MBL) phase transition is not a conventional thermodynamic phase transition. Thus to define the phase transition one should allow the possibility of taking the limit of an infinite system in a way that is not the conventional thermodynamic limit. We explore this for the so-called "avalanche" instability due to rare thermalizing regions in the MBL phase for quenched-random systems in more than one spatial dimension, finding an unconventional way of scaling the systems so that they do have a type of phase transition. These arguments suggest that the MBL phase transition in systems with short-range interactions in more than one dimension is a transition where entanglement in the eigenstates begins to spread in to some typical regions: the transition is set by when the avalanches start. Once this entanglement gets started, the system does thermalize. From this point of view, the much-studied case of one-dimensional MBL with short-range interactions is a special case with a different, and in some ways more conventional, type of phase transition.

description: The study assessed male and female cassava beneficiaries’ participation in the first phase of the Third National Fadama Additional Financing project in Anambra State, Nigeria. For the purpose of the objectives of the study, 120 cassava beneficiaries that participated in the project were selected using multi-stage sampling technique. Well-structured questionnaires were the instrument used for data collection, while descriptive statistics, paired sample t-test, multiple regression analysis and factor analysis were used for data analysis. The result of the study indicated that greater proportions (60% and 58.3%) of the sampled male and female beneficiaries fell between the active labour age of 40 and 59 years with mean age value of 43.67 and 43.08 years, respectively. The male respondents were mainly active in the project activities such as need assessment ( =2.65; 1st), development of business plan ( =2.65; 2nd) and production group formation ( =2.63; 3rd) while project activities such as strong linkage to financial institution ( =2.82; 1st), conflict resolution ( =2.72; 2nd) and monitoring and evaluation ( =2.67; 3rd) were actively carried out by the female beneficiaries. The project beneficiaries (male and female) recorded enormous benefits from the project in terms of access to improved farm inputs (95%; 100%), input disbursement (96.7%; 98.3%), increase in yield (93.3%; 96.7%) and access to facilitator (91.7%; 93.3%) respectively. Major agro-input constraining factors as indicated by the male beneficiaries includes: insufficient technical know-how (0.879), lack of improved cassava stems (0.544), inadequate storage facilities (-0.481), poor attitude to work on the part of the Fadama staff (0.792) and poor communication (0.802). Whereas, the female counterparts indicated high cost of inputs (0.774), lack of improved cassava stem (0.813), incident of pest and diseases (-0.661), inadequate access to farmland (0.454) and inadequate electricity supply (0.460) as the major agro-inputs constraining factors militating against their participation in the project. The study further showed that there was a significant difference between the level of male and female participation in the project. Based on the findings of the study, there is need for proactive measures such as timely organization and enlightenment of the farmers and the project staff concerning the project objectives and goals prior to project take off. As this will increase the beneficiaries’ level of participation and project staff commitment towards achieving the project objectives.
