description: The dynamics of immunity are crucial to understanding the long-term patterns of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Several cases of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 have been documented 48–142 days after the initial infection and immunity to seasonal circulating coronaviruses is estimated to be shorter than 1 year. Using an age-structured, deterministic model, we explore potential immunity dynamics using contact data from the UK population. In the scenario where immunity to SARS-CoV-2 lasts an average of three months for non-hospitalized individuals, a year for hospitalized individuals, and the effective reproduction number after lockdown ends is 1.2 (our worst-case scenario), we find that the secondary peak occurs in winter 2020 with a daily maximum of 387 000 infectious individuals and 125 000 daily new cases; threefold greater than in a scenario with permanent immunity. Our models suggest that longitudinal serological surveys to determine if immunity in the population is waning will be most informative when sampling takes place from the end of the lockdown in June until autumn 2020. After this period, the proportion of the population with antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 is expected to increase due to the secondary wave. Overall, our analysis presents considerations for policy makers on the longer-term dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in the UK and suggests that strategies designed to achieve herd immunity may lead to repeated waves of infection as immunity to reinfection is not permanent.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Modelling that shaped the early COVID-19 pandemic response in the UK’.

description: This paper analyzes the geographic distribution of “green energy” sector clustering in the lower 48 United States using recent developments in industry concentration analysis. Evidence suggests that the ten green energy subsectors and the aggregate of the firms comprising the green energy sector are regionally concentrated. Positive changes in industry concentration from 2002 to 2006 tended to be greatest in non-metropolitan counties, suggesting comparative advantage with respect to site location for the composite of firms making up these sectors.

description: The utilization of marketing programs to enhance feeder calf value has been met with modest success in Oklahoma. Value-added programs are continually promoted as avenues for improving cow-calf profitability, but producer adoption of value-added practices lags in spite of research showing the value of these practices. Identifying producer characteristics that increase their likelihood to adopt value-added practices is critical to developing successful outreach efforts. Results from a survey of Oklahoma producers on value-added practice adoption indicate that multiple demographic variables influence a producer’s likelihood of practice adoption. For Extension specialists, results can help in targeting likely adopters and developing methods to overcome barriers to adoption by producers less likely to adopt.

description: The article explores the conceptual, technical, and artistic nuances of Venetian Blind (1970), a photographic series by Michael Snow, created during the opening of Venice Biennale. Using a Polaroid Land Camera 250, Snow embraces the limitations of the medium, aligning with his broader artistic ethos of integrating chance and automation into his works. Venetian Blind juxtaposes Snow’s blurred self-portraits in the foreground with the iconic Venetian cityscape in the background, employing deliberate defocus to challenge conventional representation. The work engages themes of perception, the unconscious, and the interplay between subject and medium, reflecting on the artist’s presence as both disruptor and integrator within the visual field. Venetian Blind redefines the spectator’s relationship to the depicted space, merging temporal and spatial dimensions into a reflective visual experience.

description: We investigate $S=-1$ hyperon production from the $Λ_c^+\to K^-pπ^+$ and $Λ_c^+\to K^0_Spπ^0$ decays within the effective Lagrangian approach. We consider the $Σ/Λ$ ground states, $Λ(1520)$, $Λ(1670)(J^p=1/2^-)$, $Λ(1890)(J^p=3/2^+)$; $Λ/Σ$-pole contributions from the combined resonances between 1800 MeV and 2100 MeV; and $N/Δ$-pole and $K^\ast$-pole contributions, which include the proton, $Δ(1232)$, and $K(892)$. We calculate the Dalitz plot density $(d^2Γ/dM_{K^-p}dM_{K^-π^+}$) for the $Λ_c^+\to K^-pπ^+$ decay. The calculated result is in good agreement with experimental data from the Belle Collaboration. Using the parameters from the fit, we present the Dalitz plot density for the $Λ_c^+\to K^0_Spπ^0$ decay. In our calculation, a sharp peak-like structure near 1665 MeV is predicted in the $Λ_c^+\to K^-pπ^+$ decay because of the interference effects between the $Λ(1670)$ resonance and $η$-$Λ$ loop channels. We also demonstrate that we can access direct information regarding the weak couplings of $Λ(1670)$ and $Σ(1670)$ from the $Λ_c^+\to K^0_Spπ^0$ decay. Finally, a possible interpretation for the 1665 MeV structure beyond our prediction is briefly discussed.

description: We consider the problem of `discrete-time persistence', which deals with the zero-crossings of a continuous stochastic process, X(T), measured at discrete times, T = n(ΔT). For a Gaussian Stationary Process the persistence (no crossing) probability decays as exp(-θ_D T) = [ρ(a)]^n for large n, where a = \exp[-(ΔT)/2], and the discrete persistence exponent, θ_D, is given by θ_D = \ln(ρ)/2\ln(a). Using the `Independent Interval Approximation', we show how θ_D varies with (ΔT) for small (ΔT) and conclude that experimental measurements of persistence for smooth processes, such as diffusion, are less sensitive to the effects of discrete sampling than measurements of a randomly accelerated particle or random walker. We extend the matrix method developed by us previously [Phys. Rev. E 64, 015151(R) (2001)] to determine ρ(a) for a two-dimensional random walk and the one-dimensional random acceleration problem. We also consider `alternating persistence', which corresponds to a < 0, and calculate ρ(a) for this case.

A Stochastic Model for the Spread of Infectious Disease : Determining the Effectiveness of Vaccination and Quarantine in Controlling Outbreaks
Creators: name: Dungate, Brianna

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Determining the best strategy in limiting the proliferation of deadly diseases could aid in controlling pathogen spread and decreasing fatalities during outbreaks. Quarantine and vaccination are two current strategies for containing infectious diseases. A key factor impacting the effectiveness of quarantine and vaccination is the method of transmission. In this study a stochastic model for airborne and bloodborne diseases was built to investigate the effects of movement within a population (quarantine) and preimmunity (vaccination) on outbreaks of the ebola virus (EBOV) and the coronavirus SARS-CoV, which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Quarantine and preventing contact with bodily fluids is expected to prevent the spread of bloodborne diseases more effectively than air-borne; immunization is expected to decrease infection rates in both classes of disease. Analysis of these models shows that variables mimicking quarantine had a significant effect on preventing the spread of EBOV and a limited effect on SARS. Increasing preimmunity is shown to be highly effective in preventing the spread of both SARS and ebola, and consequently it is the recommended method of outbreak control.

description: Multifunctional agriculture is particularly fundamental to some working lands conservation policies and programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP), Conservation Security Program (CSP) and Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP). Farmers can also be engaged in providing recreational and agri-tourism services such as hunting, fishing, bird-watching, farm tours, petting zoos and hospitality services. Using the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) we analyze factors associated with participation in conservation, recreation and agri-tourism activities as a function of farm structure, farm financial measures, production practices, and socio-demographic characteristics of the farm operator. To estimate the functional relationships we estimate a binary logistic model where the dependent variable takes a value equal to one if the farm operator reports in the ARMS survey participation in conservation programs, recreation or agritourism. Results show that the level of farm operator education and cultural practices that use conservation technical assistance are significant at the 0.01 and 0.10 levels, respectively, in explaining participation. Farm financial characteristics were not significant. Location (state where operator is located) is also not significant.

description: The notion of multifunctional agriculture has been actively researched from diverse disciplines including economics, ecology, sociology, and geography since emerged out of the Uruguay Round in the 1990s. In particular, the economics approach represents an attempt to tailor the concept of multifunctional agriculture to market-oriented WTO trade regime. The economics approach has been fundamentally troubled by the lack of concord among WTO member countries on the question of what constitutes multifunctional agriculture. Upon examining how differently the notion of multifunctional agriculture is perceived across the US, the EU, the Cairns group, the LDCs, and the developed food-importing countries (the G10), this article theorizes that multifunctional agriculture connotes different contents in different countries/regions that are determined by their particular agricultural problems, which are in turn shaped by the cultural, ecological and economic characteristics unique to each country. The theorizing undertakes to overcome the Euro-centrism that has dictated the discourse of multifunctional agriculture since the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture (URAA). This article fills an important gap in the literature of social sciences concerning the concept of multifunctional agriculture by explicitly recognizing the wide diversity of contemporary agricultural problems across countries.

description: The representation of solutions of Maxwell's equations as superpositions of scalar wavelets with vector coefficients developed earlier is generalized to wavelets with polarization, which are matrix-valued. The construction proceeds in four stages: (1) A Hilbert space H of solutions is considered, based on a conformally invariant inner product. (2) The analytic-signal transform extends solutions from real space-time to a complex space-time domain T (double tube). The evaluation map E_z, which sends any solution F=B+iE in H to the value F(z) at z\in T, is bounded. The electromagnetic wavelets are defined as the adjoints the Ψ_z=E_z^*. (3) The eight real parameters z=x+iy\in T are given a complete physical interpretation: x\in R^4 is interpreted as a space-time point about which Ψ_z is focussed, and the timelike vector y gives its scale and velocity. Thus wavelets parameterized by the set of {\sl Euclidean} points (real space, imaginary time) have stationary centers, and the others are Doppler-shifted versions of the former. All the wavelets can be obtained from a single "mother wavelet" by conformal transformations. (4) A resolution of unity is established in H, giving a representation of solutions as "atomic compositions" of wavelets parameterized by z\in E. This yields a constructive method for generating solutions with initial data specified locally in space and by scale. Other representations, employing wavelets with moving centers, are obtained by applying conformal transformations to the stationary representation. This could be useful in the analysis of electromagnetic waves reflected or emitted by moving objects, such as radar signals.

The Abundance of Lichen at Varying Elevations in Pacific Spirit Park

Year: 2019

description: In this study, we investigated the abundance of lichen on the lower trunks of four species of deciduous trees (Red Alder, Black Cottonwood, Vine Maple and Bigleaf Maple) along a small elevation gradient in Pacific Spirit Park. We measured the abundance of lichen on 180 trees using a percent cover technique at 20 m, 40 m and 60 m elevations above sea level. We found that there were statistically significant differences in lichen abundance between elevations, with abundance decreasing as elevation increased. We then investigated tree species, light intensity and relative humidity as potential factors that may account for the observed trend in lichen abundance along the gradient. We determined that tree species does not account for the observed trend and were unable to determine if light intensity is a factor that may influence the trend. Finally, we found that relative humidity is likely a major factor accounting for the trend, as relative humidity is strongly and positively correlated with average lichen abundance on the lower trunks of deciduous trees.

description: We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the `redback' binary millisecond pulsar system PSR J1023+0038 during both its radio pulsar (2009) and accretion disc states (2014 and 2016). We provide observational evidence for the companion star being heated during the disc-state. We observe a spectral type change along the orbit, from G5 to F6 at the secondary star's superior and inferior conjunction, respectively, and find that the corresponding irradiating luminosity can be powered by the high energy accretion luminosity or the spin-down luminosity of the neutron star. We determine the secondary star's radial velocity semi-amplitude from the metallic (primarily Fe and Ca) and Halpha absorption lines during these different states. The metallic and Halpha radial velocity semi-amplitude determined from the 2009 pulsar-state observations allows us to constrain the secondary star's true radial velocity K_2=276.3+/-5.6 km/s and the binary mass ratio q=0.137+/-0.003. By comparing the observed metallic and Halpha absorption-line radial velocity semi-amplitudes with model predictions, we can explain the observed semi-amplitude changes during the pulsar-state and during the pulsar/disc-state transition as being due to different amounts of heating and the presence of an accretion disc, respectively.

Extragalactic neutrinos as tracers of Dark Matter?

description: Neutrinos produced in extragalactic sources may experience flavor-oscillations and decoherence on their way to Earth due to their interaction with dark matter (DM). As a result, they may be detected in pointer-states other than the flavor states at the source. The oscillation pattern and the structure of the pointer-states can give us information on the characteristics of the DM and the kind of interaction that has taken place. From this perspective, neutrinos can be viewed as DM-tracers. We study the local evolution of neutrino flavor-eigenstates due to local effects produced by the presence of DM. To explore the sensitivity of the model, we consider different DM density profiles, masses and interactions. Starting from the eigenstates of the neutrino-mass Hamiltonian, we construct the flavor-states with the neutrino mixing-matrix in vacuum. We then include local interactions with DM, acting along the neutrino path towards the Earth, and analyse the resulting probabilities. In doing so, we adopt different DM density profiles, e.g. a constant, a local isotropic and a Navarro-Frenk-White density distribution. Finally, by following the time evolution of the flavor-states, we identify pointer-states and interpret the results in terms of the adopted DM model. Due to the interaction with DM, neutrinos experience the MSW effect, the extent of which depends on the DM density profile. The interaction with DM produces the enhancement or suppression of oscillations. Decoherence effects may take place. We model the time evolution of extragalactic neutrino flavor-states by letting them interact with DM. The features of the calculated response seem to support the notion that these neutrinos can be taken as DM tracers. From a theoretical point of view, the coexistence and/or competition of decoherence and MSW effects is sustained by the results.

description: With a focus on establishing whether climate targets can be met under different personal transport scenarios we introduce a transport sector representing the use and profile of light domestic vehicles (LDVs) into the integrated assessment model WITCH. In doing so we develop long term projections of light domestic vehicle use and define potential synergies between innovation in the transportation sector and the energy sector. By modelling the demand for LDVs, the use of fuels, and the types of vehicles introduced we can analyse the potential impacts on the whole economy. We find that with large increases in the use of vehicles in many regions around the globe, the electrification of LDVs is important in achieving cost effective climate targets and minimising the impact of transportation on other sectors of the economy.

description: The value of USDA reports has long been a question of interest for researchers and practitioners. However, the impact of announcements on comovements across related commodity prices has not been explored beyond financial asset markets. This is important because the structure of the relationship between commodities could change depending on the type of information revealed in the announcement, thus affecting price perceptions, hedging ratios, and portfolio return variance. This study simultaneously measures the impact of selected USDA reports on the conditional variances and covariances of returns on corn, lean hogs, soybeans, soybean meal, and soybean oil futures contracts using a multivariate GARCH model. It is shown that the largest movements in covariances are observed on the release days of Feed Outlook, Grain Stocks, and Hogs and Pigs reports.

description: We review the development of generative modeling techniques in machine learning for the purpose of reconstructing real, noisy, many-qubit quantum states. Motivated by its interpretability and utility, we discuss in detail the theory of the restricted Boltzmann machine. We demonstrate its practical use for state reconstruction, starting from a classical thermal distribution of Ising spins, then moving systematically through increasingly complex pure and mixed quantum states. Intended for use on experimental noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, we review recent efforts in reconstruction of a cold atom wavefunction. Finally, we discuss the outlook for future experimental state reconstruction using machine learning, in the NISQ era and beyond.

description: Resource Balance Analysis (RBA) is a computational method based on resource allocation, which performs accurate quantitative predictions of whole-cell states (i.e. growth rate, meta-bolic fluxes, abundances of molecular machines including enzymes) across growth conditions. We present an integrated workflow of RBA together with the Python package RBApy. RBApy builds bacterial RBA models from annotated genome-scale metabolic models by add-ing descriptions of cellular processes relevant for growth and maintenance. The package in-cludes functions for model simulation and calibration and for interfacing to Escher maps and Proteomaps for visualization. We demonstrate that RBApy faithfully reproduces results ob-tained by a hand-curated and experimentally validated RBA model for Bacillus subtilis. We also present a calibrated RBA model of Escherichia coli generated from scratch, which ob-tained excellent fits to measured flux values and enzyme abundances. RBApy makes whole-cell modeling accessible for a wide range of bacterial wild-type and engineered strains, as il-lustrated with a CO2-fixing Escherichia coli strain.
