description: We have investigated spherically symmetric spacetimes which contain a perfect fluid obeying the polytropic equation of state and admit a kinematic self-similar vector of the second kind which is neither parallel nor orthogonal to the fluid flow. We have assumed two kinds of polytropic equations of state and shown in general relativity that such spacetimes must be vacuum.

description: As a heavily subsidized crop with significant exports, rice bears at least a superficial similarity to upland cotton, which causes some to speculate that current rice policy exposes the U.S. to the same WTO sanctions as were levied in 2005 against U.S. cotton subsidies. This paper examines the impact of decoupled payments on U.S. indica rice production in the southern states of Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Louisiana and Texas, a region chosen because it accounts for nearly all U.S. rice exports to Central and South America. Using Arellano’s and Bond’s generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation technique for dynamic panel models on county-level data, we find that both direct and counter-cyclical payments exert significant, positive effects on acreage planted in indica rice. The estimated acreage price and cost elasticities are statistically significant and are within the ranges of values in previous studies.

description: Objective: 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) deficiency has been associated with sleep disorders in adults. Only three cross-sectional studies were performed in children and showed an association between 25OHD deficiency and both obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and primary snoring. No longitudinal study has been performed in children from the general population. We analyzed the association between cord-blood vitamin D level at birth and night-sleep duration trajectories for children between 2 and 5-6 years old in a non-clinical cohort.Method: We included 264 children from the French EDEN mother-child birth-cohort with both cord-blood 25OHD level determined by radio-immunoassay at birth, and night-sleep trajectories for children between 2 and 5-6 years old obtained by the group-based trajectory modeling method. Associations between 25OHD and sleep trajectories were assessed by multinomial logistic regression adjusted for maternal and child characteristics.Results: The trajectories short sleep (<10h30/night), medium-low sleep (10h30-11h00/night), medium-high sleep ($\approx$11h30/night), long sleep ($\ge$11h30/night) and changing sleep (decreased from $\ge$11h30 to 10h30-11h00/night) represented 5%, 46%, 37%, 4% and 8% of the children, respectively. The mean 25OHD level was 19 ng/ml (SD=11, range 3 to 63). It was 12 (SD=7), 20 (SD=11), 19 (SD=10), 14 (SD=7) and 16 (SD=8) ng/ml for children with short, medium-low, medium-high, long and changing sleep trajectories, respectively. On adjusted analysis, for each 1-ng/ml decrease in 25OHD level, the odds of belonging to the short sleep versus medium-high sleep trajectory was increased (odds ratio =1.12, 95% confidence interval [1.01-1.25]). We found no other significant association between 25OHD level and other trajectories.Conclusion: Low 25OHD level at birth may be associated with increased probability of being a persistent short sleeper in preschool years. These results need confirmation.

description: This article proposes a proactive approach for analyzing agricultural adaptation to climate change based on a structural land-use model wherein farmers maximize profit by allocating their land between crop-technology bundles. The profitability of the bundles is a function of four technological attributes via which climate variables‟ effect is channeled: yield potential; input requirements; yields' sensitivity to input use; and farm-level management costs. Proactive adaptation measures are derived by identifying the technological attributes via which climate variables reduce overall agricultural profitability, despite adaptation by land reallocation among bundles. By applying the model to Israel, we find that long-term losses stem from yield potential reductions driven by forecasted increases in temperature, implying that adaptation efforts should target more heat-tolerant crop varieties and technologies.

description: We are developping a new single photon counting detector technology based on the 3D assembly of Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD) onto CMOS electronics which renders a digital readout of the photon counts. In particular, we have developed a fast-timing Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) readout in array with embedded advanced signal processing. We call this combination of SPAD, TDC and embedded processing a Photon-to-Digital Converter (PDC). A SPAD is an inverse biased photodiode set above its breakdown voltage. The arrival of a photon triggers an avalanche of current which is detected by the readout circuit. A quenching circuit is then put in series to the diodes to bring them back into their initial states after an avalanche. In the case of a PDC, each SPAD has its own CMOS quenching circuit. This allows us to mitigate SPAD array non-uniformity and manage correlated noise such as afterpulsing (AP). Moreover, in our PDC, each SPAD has a Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) to precisely timestamp each photon with a resolution of 17.5 ps FWHM. Finally, the timestamps can be processed on-chip to reduce the large quantity of data to output. The processing can consist of timestamp sorting, skew correction, and others. PDCs offer a new dimension for wavefront sensing by measuring the timestamps of the incoming photons. Filtering and processing of incoming photons based on their timestamp, position, and correlation with external signals can increase wavefront sensing accuracy, therefore, leading to improved adaptive optics (AO) control and better delivered image quality. For example, in the case of pyramid wavefront sensors, the timestamp can be correlated to the position in the modulation cycle, and using this information in the wavefront reconstruction process can lead to increased sensitivity. The paper will explain the functionality of PDCs and their possible operation as wavefront sensor.
Infrared renormalons and analyticity structure in pQCD

description: Relation between the infrared renormalons, the Borel resummation prescriptions, and the analyticity structure of Green functions in perturbative QCD (pQCD) is investigated. A specific recently suggested Borel resummation prescription resulted in the Principal Value and an additional power-suppressed correction that is consistent with the Operator Product Expansion. Arguments requiring the finiteness of the result for any power coefficient of the leading infrared renormalon, and the consistency in the case of the absence of that renormalon, require that this prescription be modified. The apparently most natural modification leads to the result represented by the Principal Value. The analytic structure of the amplitude in the complex coupling plane, obtained in this way, is consistent with that obtained in the literature by other methods.

description: The multidimensional gravity on the principal bundle with the SU(2) gauge group is considered. The numerical investigation of the spherically symmetric metrics with the center of symmetry is made. The solution of the gravitational equations depends on the boundary conditions of the ``SU(2) gauge potential'' (off-diagonal metric components) at the symmetry center and on the type of symmetry (symmetrical or antisymmetrical) of these potentials. In the chosen range of the boundary conditions it is shown that there are two types of solutions: wormhole-like and flux tube. The physical application of such kind of solutions as quantum handles in a spacetime foam is discussed.

description: The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we introduce the constants $ζ_k(α,r,q)$ where $α\in (0,1)$ and study them along the lines of work done on Euler constant in arithmetic progression $γ(r,q)$ by Briggs, Dilcher, Knopfmacher, Lehmer and some other authors. These constants are used for evaluation of certain integrals involving error term for Dirichlet divisor problem with congruence conditions and also to provide a closed form expression for the value of a class of Dirichlet L-series at any real critical point. In the second half of this paper, we consider the behaviour of the Laurent Stieltjes constants $γ_k(χ)$ for a principal character $χ.$ In particular, we study a generalization of the "Generalized Euler constants" introduced by Diamond and Ford in 2008. We conclude with a short proof for a closed form expression for the first generalized Stieltjes constant $γ_1(r/q)$ which was given by Blagouchine in 2015.

description: Mutations in the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) lead to metabolic alterations and a sustained formation of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). 2-HG is an oncometabolite as it inhibits the activity of α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases such as ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes. Inhibitors of mutant IDH enzymes, like ML309, are currently tested in order to lower the levels of 2-HG. Vitamin C (VC) is an inducer of TET enzymes. To test a new therapeutic avenue of synergistic effects, the anti-neoplastic activity of inhibition of mutant IDH1 via ML309 in the presence of VC was investigated in the colon cancer cell line HCT116 IDH1R132H/+ (harbouring a mutated IDH1 allele) and the parental cells HCT116 IDH1+/+ (wild type IDH1). Measurement of the oncometabolite indicated a 56-fold higher content of 2-HG in mutated cells compared to wild type cells. A significant reduction of 2-HG was observed in mutated cells after treatment with ML 309, whereas VC produced only minimally changes of the oncometabolite. However, combinatorial treatment with both, ML309 and VC, in mutated cells induced pronounced reduction of 2-HG leading to levels comparable to those in wild type cells. The decreased level of 2-HG in mutated cells after combinatorial treatment was accompanied by an enhanced global DNA hydroxymethylation and an increased gene expression of certain tumour suppressors. Moreover, mutated cells showed an increased percentage of apoptotic cells after treatment with non-cytotoxic concentrations of ML309 and VC. These results suggest that combinatorial therapy is of interest for further investigation to rescue TET activity and treatment of IDH1/2 mutated cancers.

description: Objectives: To evaluate changes in incidence and survival of patients diagnosed with hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC) in Denmark in the period 1980–2014. Methods: All patients registered with HPC in the Danish Cancer Registry (DCR) in the period 1980–2014 were included. Age-adjusted incidence rates (AAIRs), average annual percentage change in incidence, and overall survival were calculated. Results: Two thousand and nine patients were included (79.7% men). The overall AAIR increased significantly from 0.3 per 100,000 to 1.1 per 100,000 during the study period, corresponding to an increase of 4.1% per year. The most frequent histology was squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) comprising 90.3%. The overall five-year survival increased with 13.5 percentage points from 13.4% in the period 1980–1985 to 26.9% in the period 2010–2014. Women demonstrated better survival compared to men with a hazard ratio of 0.83, and patients with SCC had better survival compared to the remaining histology groups. Conclusions: This nation-wide study, covering nearly four decades, showed a significant increase in incidence and survival of HPC in Denmark.

description: This paper discusses the use of debt-for-nature swaps as a funding mechanism for environmental expenditures in Sub-Saharan Africa. The pros and cons of such transactions for creditor banks, environmental groups and debtor countries are discussed and evaluated in terms of their ability to address environmental problems prevalent in the region. It is concluded that the usefulness of debt swaps may be limited and that direct donations to developing countries for environmental purposes may often be superior to swap transaction.

description: Agricultural economists in both the United States and Canada have been trying to answer this complicated question for over 12 years. Although there is no simple answer t researchers generally agree that the "right level" of advertising investment is a function of the promotion program's objective. The actual level of advertising investment in 1987 totaled $490 million in 22 dairyproducing countries. The United States t Canada t Australia t and the United Kingdom have similar levels of promotion investment per unit of milk production ($0.12 to $0.17 per hundredweight). A review of economic studies "indicates commodity advertising investment in the U.S. is probably less than optimum at its current level of around $145 million.

description: Individual farm financial data are collected in about two dozen states by colleges of agriculture, farm record associations and state vocational-technical school programs. A wide variety of methods are used by the various systems to calculate measures of profitability, making it difficult to make comparisons across states or to use data from several states to study farm size issues. This paper reviews some of the issues related to measuring profitability such as asset valuation, appreciation of assets, depreciation, interest changes, and value of operator and family labor and management. Data from three states are used to relate farm size to profitability. In general, larger farms have higher net returns regardless of the measure of profitability used, but this is not true in all states in all years.

description: Although for neural networks with locally Lipschitz continuous activation functions the classical derivative exists almost everywhere, the standard chain rule is in general not applicable. We will consider a way of introducing a derivative for neural networks that admits a chain rule, which is both rigorous and easy to work with. In addition we will present a method of converting approximation results on bounded domains to global (pointwise) estimates. This can be used to extend known neural network approximation theory to include the study of regularity properties. Of particular interest is the application to neural networks with ReLU activation function, where it contributes to the understanding of the success of deep learning methods for high-dimensional partial differential equations.

description: A common strategy today to generate efficient locomotion movements is to split the problem into two consecutive steps: the first one generates the contact sequence together with the centroidal trajectory, while the second one computes the whole-body trajectory that follows the centroidal pattern. Yet the second step is generally handled by a simple program such as an inverse kinematics solver. In contrast, we propose to compute the whole-body trajectory by using a local optimal control solver, namely Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP). Our method produces more efficient motions, with lower forces and smaller impacts, by exploiting the Angular Momentum (AM). With this aim, we propose an original DDP formulation exploiting the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker constraint of the rigid contact model. We experimentally show the importance of this approach by executing large steps walking on the real HRP-2 robot, and by solving the problem of attitude control under the absence of external forces.

description: We study the motion of free magnetic polarons in a paramagnetic background of fluctuating local moments. The polaron can tunnel only to nearby regions of local moments when these fluctuate into alignment. We propose this fluctuation induced hopping as a new transport mechanism for the spin polaron. We calculate the diffusion constant for fluctuation induced hopping from the rate at which local moments fluctuate into alignment. The electrical resistivity is then obtained via the Einstein relation. We suggest that the proposed transport mechanism is relevant in the high temperature phase of the Mn pyrochlore colossal magneto resistance compounds and Europium hexaboride.

description: The purpose of this study is to gather information from fruit, vegetable and dairy farm employers regarding agricultural workforce issues in New York agriculture. The survey provides new insights into five key topic areas; the number of workers on New York farms, employee wages and benefits, characteristics of the Hispanic workforce, attitudes among farm operators regarding proposed State labor law changes and Federal immigration reform. The agricultural workforce for fruit, vegetable and dairy farms in New York including part-time and full-time workers totaled 33,200. The focus of this report is on the dairy industry where the number of hired dairy employees is estimated to be 9,600. Dairy farm employers reported that experienced general laborers were paid an average of $9.98 per hour and experienced milkers were paid an average of $9.71. Dairy employers also reported salary ranges for hired managers. They reported that 8% of middle managers and 38% of top-level managers earn salaries of $50,000 or more annually. Hispanic workers play an increasingly important role in the New York dairy industry. The survey found that there are 2,600 Hispanic dairy workers in the State. Regarding their Hispanic workers, dairy farm employers reported that the two issues requiring the most assistance were immigration issues and language skills. At the time the survey was conducted, New York’s labor advocates and farm employers were debating legislation that would have required farm employers to provide their workers overtime pay and collective bargaining rights. The majority of dairy farmers surveyed indicated that they would be very concerned if their workers were allowed to form unions and if they were required to pay overtime. Regarding Federal immigration reform, survey participants were asked to rate the importance of national immigration reform, a path to citizenship and a guest worker program to their business. While all three issues were important to farm managers, a path to citizenship was reported to be less important than national immigration reform or a guest worker program.

description: We analyze an unconventional inter-subband paired phase in a 2D doped superconductor considering both systems with the inversion symmetry and with the inversion symmetry broken. We find that for a centro-symmetric system the inter-subband pairing can appear in the high concentration regime when the repulsive Coulomb interaction leads to the nearly degenerate symmetric and antisymmetric state. We discuss in detail the mutual competition between the intra- and inter-subband paired phase. For systems with broken inversion symmetry, we find that the critical temperature has a characteristic domelike shape as a function of the asymmetry parameter, which is explained as resulting form the inter-subbband pairing. This results is discussed in the context of the domelike shape of $T_c$ in the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface.

description: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the primary causative agent of urinary tract infections, which are one of the most common infectious disease types in humans. UPEC infections involve bacterial cell adhesion to bladder epithelial cells, and UPEC can also form biofilms on indwelling catheters that are often tolerant to common antibiotics. In this study, the anti-biofilm activities of t-stilbene, stilbestrol, t-resveratrol, oxyresveratrol, ε-viniferin, suffruticosol A, and vitisin A were investigated against UPEC. t-Resveratrol, oxyresveratrol, and ε-viniferin, suffruticosol A, and vitisin A significantly inhibited UPEC biofilm formation at subinhibitory concentrations (10–50 μg ml−1). These findings were supported by observations that t-resveratrol and oxyresveratrol reduced fimbriae production and the swarming motility in UPEC. Furthermore, t-resveratrol and oxyresveratrol markedly diminished the hemagglutinating ability of UPEC, and enhanced UPEC killing by human whole blood. The findings show that t-resveratrol, oxyresveratrol, and resveratrol oligomers warrant further attention as antivirulence strategies against persistent UPEC infections.

Self-dual gravity with topological terms

description: The canonical analysis of the (anti-) self-dual action for gravity supplemented with the (anti-) self-dual Pontrjagin term is carried out. The effect of the topological term is to add a `magnetic' term to the original momentum variable associated with the self-dual action leaving the Ashtekar connection unmodified. In the new variables, the Gauss constraint retains its form, while both vector and Hamiltonian constraints are modified. This shows, the contribution of the Euler and Pontrjagin terms is not the same as that coming from the term associated with the Barbero-Immirzi parameter, and thus the analogy between the theta-angle in Yang-Mills theory and the Barbero-Immirzi parameter of gravity is not appropriate.

description: The purpose of this study is to gather information from fruit, vegetable and dairy farm employers regarding agricultural workforce issues in New York agriculture. The survey provides new insights into five key topic areas; the number of workers on New York farms, employee wages and benefits, characteristics of the Hispanic workforce, attitudes among farm operators regarding proposed State labor law changes and Federal immigration reform. Expanded survey estimates of the peak agricultural workforce in this study, including part-time and full-time workers, totaled 33,200. The focus of this report is on the fruit and vegetable industry where the number of hired employees in the fruit industry is estimated to be 14,700 and the number of hired employees in the vegetable industry is estimated to be 8,900. Fruit farm employers reported that experienced general laborers were paid an average of $10.65 per hour and inexperienced general laborers were paid an average of $8.52. Vegetable farm employers reported that experienced general laborers were paid an average of $9.98 per hour and inexperienced general laborers were paid $8.25 per hour. Hispanic workers play an increasingly important role in the New York fruit and vegetable industry. The survey found that 11,200 (47%) fruit and vegetable workers speak Spanish as their first language. Regarding their Hispanic workers, farm employers reported that the two issues requiring the most assistance were immigration issues and English training. At the time the survey was conducted, New York’s labor advocates and farm employers were debating legislation that would have required farm employers to provide their workers overtime pay and collective bargaining rights. The majority of fruit and vegetable farmers surveyed indicated that they would be very concerned if their workers were allowed to form unions or if they were required to pay overtime. Regarding Federal immigration reform, survey participants were asked to rate the importance of national immigration reform, a path to citizenship and a guest worker program to their business. While all three issues were important to farm managers, a path to citizenship was reported to be slightly less important than national immigration reform or a guest worker program.
Universal behaviour of diatomic halo states and the mass sensitivity of their properties

description: The scattering and spectroscopic properties of molecular halo states can serve as sensitive probes of the constancy of the electron-to-proton mass ratio $β=m_e/m_p$. Since halo states are formed by resonant $s$-wave interactions, their properties exhibit universal correlations that are fairly independent of the interactions at short distances. For diatomic molecules, these properties depend on a single parameter only, and so this `universality' means that all the characteristics of a diatomic halo state can be determined with high precision if only one parameter is accurately known. Furthermore, this knowledge can be used to establish the respective property mass sensitivities for investigating the stability of $β$. Here, we show for the halo states of the helium dimers that the relationship between the probed properties and their mass sensitivity can be derived from numerically exact solutions of suitable radial Schrödinger equations for a set of effective potential energy curves. The resulting relations exhibit a weak dependence on the short-range part of the used potentials and a near-negligible dependence on the `higher-order' nonadiabatic, relativistic, QED and residual retardation effects. The presented approach is thus a robust alternative to other literature approaches, particularly in cases where a lack of experimental data prevents an accurate interaction potential from being determined.

description: Business and financial records for 2009 from 204 New York dairy farm businesses are summarized and analyzed. This analysis uses cash accounting with accrual adjustments to measure farm profitability, financial performance, and costs of producing milk. Traditional methods of analyzing dairy farm businesses are combined with evaluation techniques that show the relationship between good management performance and financial success. The farms in the project averaged 469 cows per farm and 24,208 pounds of milk sold per cow, which represent above average size and management level for New York dairy farms. Net farm income excluding appreciation, which is the return to the operator's labor, management, capital, and other unpaid family labor, averaged $-126,820 per farm. The rate of return to all capital invested in the farm business including appreciation averaged -3.5 percent. Differences in profitability between farms continue to widen. Average net farm income excluding appreciation of the top 10 percent of farms was $189,108, while the lowest 10 percent was $-861,956. Rates of return on equity with appreciation ranged from positive 4 percent to negative 46 percent for the highest decile and the lowest decile of farms, respectively. Large freestall farms averaged the highest milk output per cow and per worker, the lowest total cost of production and investment per cow. However, in 2009, they averaged the lowest returns to labor, management and capital. Farms milking three times a day (3X) were larger, produced more milk per cow but had lower net farm incomes in 2009 than herds milking two times per day (2X). Operating costs per hundredweight of milk were $0.08 per hundredweight lower for 3X than 2X milking herds, while output per cow was 5,222 pounds higher. Farms adopting intensive grazing generally produced less milk per cow than non-grazing farms but averaged higher labor and management incomes per operator. One should not conclude that adoption of these technologies alone were responsible for differences in performance.
