description: China’s dairy farming has presented a striking development in recent years. Under the dual constraints of environment and resources, it is of practical significance to increase the output of dairy farming and ensure the healthy and stable development of the dairy industry, by accurately comparing the differences in the farming efficiency of dairy farms at different scales and grasping key factors influencing the farming efficiency. This study, through the cost analysis of 263 scale farms across 23 provinces and regions of China in 2019, reaches a result that the cost of a single cow in a certain scale farm increases with the enlargement of the scale, and shows an inverted-U shaped curve with the relatively large scales (1 001 - 2 000 cows) at the highest point. It measures the farming efficiency of dairy farms at different scales through the data envelopment analysis and finds that the scale efficiency and allocation efficiency of scale farms in China are relatively high, while the technology efficiency and cost efficiency are relatively low. The efficiency of different scale farms is obviously different, where the cost efficiency, allocation efficiency and scale efficiency show a U-shaped curve as the scale enlarges (with the relatively large scale as the lowest point), while the technology efficiency gradually decreases as the scale expands. It is concluded that for the scale farms, feed conversion ratio and forage-to-concentrate ratio have a significantly negative impact on the scale efficiency, while the labor cost, number of employees, and depreciation of fixed assets are negatively correlated to the technology efficiency and cost efficiency of dairy farming.

description: We address the problem of calculating the correlation functions of one-dimensional two-component gases with strong repulsive contact interactions. The model considered in this paper describes particles with fractional statistics and in appropriate limits reduces to the Gaudin-Yang model or the spinor Bose gas. In the case of impenetrable particles we derive a Fredholm determinant representation for the temperature-, time-, and space-dependent correlation functions which is very easy to implement numerically and constitute the starting point for the analytical investigation of the asymptotics. Making use of this determinant representation and the solution of an associated Riemann-Hilbert problem we derive the low-energy asymptotics of the correlators in the spin-incoherent regime characterized by near ground-state charge degrees of freedom but a highly thermally disordered spin sector. The asymptotics present features reminiscent of spin-charge separation with the spin part exponentially decaying in space separation and oscillating with a period proportional to the statistics parameter while the charge part presents scaling with anomalous exponents which cannot be described by any unitary conformal field theory. The momentum distribution and the Fourier transform of the dynamical Green's function are asymmetrical for arbitrary statistics, a direct consequence of the broken space-reversal symmetry. Due to the exponential decay the momentum distribution $n(k)$ at zero temperature does not present algebraic singularities but the tails obey the universal decay $\lim_{k\rightarrow\pm\infty}n(k)\sim C/k^4$ with the amplitude $C$ given by Tan's contact. As a function of the statistics parameter the contact is a monotonic function reaching its minimum for the fermionic system and the maximum for the bosonic system.

description: We present a case of a 77 year-old woman, diagnosed with an atypical mycobacteria, started on treatment with ethambutol (EMB), rifamycine and ciprofloxacin. Eight months later she presented with symptoms of peripheral sensory neuropathy, detected on electromyography 2 months later. One month after, she developed bilateral optic neuropathy, leading to treatment suspension. Follow-up showed almost complete recovery of visual function, which is not always the case. Peripheral neuropathy should alert clinicians to the risk of optic neuropathy due to EMB. With increased incidence of tuberculosis worldwide, more cases of optic neuropathy associated with EMB may be reported.

description: We show that it is possible to obtain a linear computational cost FEM-based solver for non-stationary Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations. Our method employs a technique developed by Guermond and Minev, which consists of singular perturbation plus a splitting scheme. While the time-integration schemes are implicit, we use finite elements to discretize the spatial counterparts. At each time-step, we solve a PDE having weak-derivatives in one direction only (which allows for the linear computational cost), at the expense of handling strong second-order derivatives of the previous time step solution, on the right-hand side of these PDEs. This motivates the use of smooth functions such as B-splines. For high Reynolds numbers, some of these PDEs become unstable. To deal robustly with these instabilities, we propose to use a residual minimization technique. We test our method on problems having manufactured solutions, as well as on the cavity flow problem.

description: We evaluated long-term control of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Japanese paid workers (PWs) and house workers (HWs) treated with subcutaneous tocilizumab (TCZ-SC) and explored factors affecting response to TCZ-SC regarding work productivity. This study collected data from patients with RA in the TCZ-SC +/− conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs group. Factors affecting the response to tocilizumab regarding work productivity were explored using logistic regression. Differences in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) between with/without response were analysed by a linear regression. Data were analysed for 357/360 patients. Patients with a ≥ 75% improvement in activity impairment (AI) were considered responders. EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D), six-item Kessler psychological distress scale score (K6), Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI), and the patient’s disease global health by visual analogue scale were significant contributors to TCZ-SC response based on improvements in AI. Work Functioning Impairment Scale, presenteeism, EQ-5D, K6, and HAQ-DI significantly contributed to the improvement of overall work impairment in PWs. Shorter disease duration also was related to TCZ-SC response based on AI improvements. Responders had significantly larger mean QALYs than non-responders (difference = 0.2614; p These real-world clinical data support long-term work productivity control with TCZ-SC for biologic-naïve HWs and PWs with RA.

description: Most current approaches to scene understanding lack the capability to adapt object and situation models to behavioral needs not anticipated by the human system designer. Here, we give a detailed description of a system architecture for self-referential autonomous learning which enables the refinement of object and situation models during operation in order to optimize behavior. This includes structural learning of hierarchical models for situations and behaviors that is triggered by a mismatch between expected and actual action outcome. Besides proposing architectural concepts, we also describe a first implementation of our system within a simulated traffic scenario to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.

description: Spectral ellipsometry has been used to determine the dielectric function of an untwinned crystal of LaMnO_3 in the spectral range 0.5-5.6 eV at temperatures 50 K < T < 300 K. A pronounced redistribution of spectral weight is found at the Neel temperature T_N = 140 K. The anisotropy of the spectral weight transfer matches the magnetic ordering pattern. A superexchange model quantitatively describes spectral weight transfer induced by spin correlations. This analysis implies that the lowest-energy transitions around 2 eV are intersite d-d transitions, and that LaMnO_3 is a Mott-Hubbard insulator.

description: This article reports the results of an analysis of cotton supply response for Imperial Valley, California, one of the two distinct cotton growing areas in the State. Ultimately, these results for the Imperial Valley can be combined with similar studies now in progress throughout the United States to form a comprehensive picture of cotton supply response. However, the two more immediate objectives of the paper are: (1) To provide empirical estimates of the supply of cotton which would be forthcoming from the Imperial Valley at various prices, both in the short and the long run; and (2) to indicate the methodology used in handling certain problems commonly faced by supply analysts, in the hope that these procedures will prove directly applicable or suggestive of possible alternatives in other empirical situations. Two unique additions to the linear programming methodology are illustrated in this study. The first is the use of Markov chains to project changes in the farm size distribution to 1975. The second is an adjustment of the cotton supply function for associated changes in the price and production of winter lettuce, a major competing crop. This is Giannini Foundation Paper No. 231. The authors gratefully acknowledge the contribution of William R. Burton, research assistant at California, who assisted in much of the basic empirical analysis.

description: Objetivos: Apresentamos diferentes estudos em que descrevemos a aplicação da imagem Scheimpflug na avaliação pré-operatória de cataratas nucleares senis, no que diz respeito ao estado funcional do cristalino com base na análise de frente de onda por traçado de raios e na previsão da energia ultrassónica consumida durante a facoemulsificação. Material e Métodos: Revisão da artigos publicados na literatura científica. Resultados: Confirmamos que a densitometria do cristalino baseada na imagem de Scheimpflug apresentou forte associação com o envelhecimento, a diminuição da melhor acuidade visual corrigida e a avaliação da lâmpada de fenda. Uma relação significativa e positiva também foi descrita entre as variáveis de densitometria baseada no princípio de Scheimpflug e as aberrações de alta ordem internas, incluindo o coma e o trefoil. Também estudamos a relação entre a densitometria do cristalino e um novo parâmetro (Dysfunctional Lens Index) baseado em achados da frente de onda por traçado de raios. Quanto à facodinâmica, foram selecionados diferentes modos densitométricos do cristalino para analisar a dureza do núcleo, os quais tinham sido descritos e utilizados em estudos anteriores. Os nossos resultados revelaram que os parâmetros derivados de certos modos de análise, tais como os modos tridimensional e de região de interesse, obtiveram os maiores coeficientes de correlação com a energia ultrassónica consumida durante a facoemulsificação. Noutro estudo, também demonstramos que o Dysfunctional Lens Index e a densidade média baseada na análise densitométrica tridimensional apresentaram uma relação similar com a facodinâmica Conclusões: Os resultados apresentados sugerem que a densitometria do cristalino baseado no princípio de Scheimpflug é útil para demonstrar o seu estado funcional. Esta tecnologia também mostrou ser útil em relação à previsão da facodinâmica. Os dados apresentados alertam para o uso adequado do programa de densitometria do cristalino, quanto à seleção e colocação do modelo de densitometria e, os parâmetros de densidade adotados.

description: The usual linear programming model for estimating supply functions is a single-period one (3).1 The solution for this period is independent of other periods except as their activities and incomes may be reflected in the resource constraints (2). The polyperiod model not only specifies the optimum position toward which the adjustment is presumed to be moving, but also indicates something of the time path and the duration of the adjustment cycle. Methods for developing such a dynamic model are described in this paper. The writers acknowledge the contributions of C W. Crickman and others in the Farm Production Economics Division, Economic Research Service, who participated in the Regional Lake States Dairy Adjustment Study which provided much of the basic data. Valuable comments also were supplied by William Gossling, J. C. Headley, and Earl Swanson, all of the University of Illinois.

description: Farmers are getting more and more concerned about problems of bargaining power. This is partly because corporations and labor unions in the food marketing business are becoming larger and stronger. We may need new theories, and new concepts, to understand how prices and incomes are actually made. Mr. Townshend-Zellner's paper suggests modifications in the usual assumptions of pure and perfect competition in order to develop a theory that is more realistic, and to open up a field for statistical measurement and analysis.

description: Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a chronic immune vasculitis in which Interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptors play a key role in pathogenesis. Tocilizumab (TCZ), an IL-6 receptor antagonist with a favorable safety and efficacy profile, has been tried as an option for patients with TAK. This systematic review analyzed the evidence from randomized control trials (RCT) assessing the safety and efficacy of TCZ in patients with TAK. MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and clinical trial registries were searched from inception to July 2018. We included RCT assessing the efficacy and safety of TCZ versus placebo/other comparators for the treatment of patients with TAK. The risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using Cochrane RoB tool. 2799 identified articles were screened as per abstract and title; 42 selected full-texts articles were assessed for the potential inclusion. One trial, reported in two publications, comparing subcutaneous TCZ (162 mg/week) versus matching placebo in 36 patients with TAK was included. The relapse-free rate at 24 weeks was 50.6% and 22.9% in TCZ and placebo arm, respectively. The hazard ratio (HR) for time to first relapse was statistically significant in the per-protocol population (HR 0.34 [95.41% CI, 0.11–1.00]; p = .0345), while non-significant in the intention-to-treat population (HR 0.41 [95.41% CI, 0.15–1.10]; p = .0596). The serious adverse events were higher in the placebo arm. This systematic review finds the existing evidence from RCT on efficacy and safety profile of TCZ in TAK to be promising but limited. Additional evidence is required to draw a stronger conclusion.

description: We present submillimetre continuum observations of a sample of some of the highest redshift quasars currently known, made with the SCUBA bolometer array on the JCMT. The median redshift of the sample is 5.3. Two z>5 objects are strong (6 sigma) detections, with S(850um)>10mJy. A firm (5 sigma) detection is obtained for the z=5.7 quasar SDSS J1044-0125; and SDSS J1306+0356, at z=6.0, is detected with a signal-to-noise approx. 4. For the remainder of the sample we have obtained sensitive (sigma=1.5mJy) upper limits. Submm spectral indices measured for two of the sources are consistent with thermal reradiation from dust, rather than from synchrotron emission. Sensitive 450um upper limits imply that the dust is cool,suggesting large dust masses only 1Gyr after the Big Bang.

(IN)SEGURANÇA DE UM IMPLANTE CORNEANO DE HIDROGEL NA CORREÇÃO DA PRESBIOPIA: 5 ANOS DE FOLLOW-UP
Creators: name: Oliveira, Mariana Almeida
Publisher: name: Revista Sociedade Portuguesa de Oftalmologia
Year: 2018

description: INTRODUCTION: Approved in June 2016 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the hydrogel corneal implant Raindrop®, designed for the correction of presbyopia, modifies the central zone of the anterior surface of the cornea, creating a hyper-prolate region with higher power focus for near and for intermediate distance. Up to date there are no studies in the literature with follow-up over 1 year after insertion of the implant. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of hydrogel corneal implant Raindrop® for the treatment of presbyopia. METHODS: Retrospective study of cases of presbyopic eyes undergoing insertion of a hydrogel corneal implant (Raindrop®) in the non-dominant eye. Clinical information was collected, including visual acuity, follow-up time, surgery interventions, biomicroscopy and corneal topography. RESULTS: Six eyes of 6 patients previously submitted to hydrogel intracorneal implant (Raindrop®) were included. Three implants were explanted due to low visual acuity, secondary to the presence of corneal haze, associated with the implant. In one case there was melting of the cornea above the implant, followed by itsexposure, despite the long time since its implantation (5 years). The presence of corneal haze occurred in 6 patients, ranging from moderate to severe. The minimum follow-up period was 2 years and the maximum was 5 years. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study in patients with the hydrogel corneal implant Raindrop® with minimum follow-up of 2 years. Our results show that this implant, approved by FDA this year, has a poor long-term safety profile due to the presence of corneal haze and melting, with the consequent need to explant a large number of devices.

description: Barrier bucket systems are planned for the SIS100 Synchrotron (part of the future accelerator facility FAIR) and the ESR storage ring to facilitate several longitudinal beam manipulations [9] [15]. In order to achieve a single-sine gap signal of the desired amplitude and quality, effects in the linear and nonlinear region of the RF systems have to be investigated and included in the design of the overall system. Therefore, the cavities and the amplifier stages are to be modeled in PSpice. In this contribution, a cavity model will be presented. In a first step, a model for the magnetic alloy (MA) ring cores, which highly account for the properties of the cavity, has been found based on measurement data. In a second step, the future setup of the cavity is systematically created using the MA ring core models. The model of the cavity allows simulations in frequency domain as well as time domain. The results show good agreement with former measurements.

description: In the close vicinity of a hot body, at distances smaller than the thermal wavelength, a high electromagnetic energy density exists due to the presence of evanescent fields radiated by the partial charges in motion around its surface. This energy density can surpass the energy density in vacuum by several orders of magnitude. By approaching a PV cell with a band gap in the infrared frequency range this non-radiative energy can be transferred to it by photon tunneling and surface mode coupling. Here we review the basic ideas and recent progress in near-field energy harvesting.

description: A theory of Kondo lattices is developed for the t-J model on a square lattice. The spin susceptibility is described in a form consistent with a physical picture of Kondo lattices: Local spin fluctuations at different sites interact with each other by a bare intersite exchange interaction, which is mainly composed of two terms such as the superexchange interaction, which arises from the virtual exchange of spin-channel pair excitations of electrons across the Mott-Hubbard gap, and an exchange interaction arising from that of Gutzwiller's quasi-particles. The bare exchange interaction is enhanced by intersite spin fluctuations developed because of itself. The enhanced exchange interaction is responsible for the development of superconducting fluctuations as well as the Cooper pairing between Gutzwiller's quasi-particles. On the basis of the microscopic theory, we develop a phenomenological theory of low-temperature superconductivity and pseudo-gaps in the under-doped region as well as high-temperature superconductivity in the optimal-doped region. Anisotropic pseudo-gaps open mainly because of dγ-wave superconducting low-energy fluctuations: Quasi-particle spectra around (\pmπ/a,0) and (0,\pmπ/a), with a the lattice constant, or X points at the chemical potential are swept away by strong inelastic scatterings, and quasi-particles are well defined only around (\pmπ/2a,\pmπ/2a) on the Fermi surface or line. As temperatures decrease in the vicinity of superconducting critical temperatures, pseudo-gaps become smaller and the well-defined region is extending toward X points. The condensation of dγ-wave Cooper pairs eventually occurs at low enough temperatures when the pair breaking by inelastic scatterings becomes small enough.

description: OBJECTIVES This work seeks to validate postoperative Anterior Chamber Depth (ACDpost) mesurement devices based in optical low-coherence reflectometry (Lenstar LS 900, (Haag-Streit AG, Köniz, Switzerland) and optical coherence tomography (Visante OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc., Dublin, California, USA). MATERIAL AND METHODS A pseudophakic eye phantom was built to check the calibration of both devices. A clinical study involving 40 pseudophakic eyes was conducted and 3 months after surgery ACDpost was measured with both devices and compared. RESULTS Zeiss Visante calibrations had a R.M.S error smaller than the device’s 18 μm resolution in all the measurement sets. No span shift nor zero shift errors were found. Lenstar calibrations had a larger R.M.S error in the order of the device’s 20 μm resolution. In the clinical study, Lenstar failed to measure ACDpost 11% of the times. Additionally Lenstar measured an average IOL thickness of 0.74μm with σ = 0.08mm and a 16% failure rate. Bland-Altman (BA) analysis was performed and a mean difference of 74μm between the measurements was found. The dioptric shift induced by the difference between measurements was calculated in a worst case scenario and a 0.18D difference was found. This is clinically insignificant and the measurements can be considered to be interchangeable. CONCLUSIONS Both devices performed accurate measurements of ACDpost. Results from the clinical trial proved the interchangeability of the measurements in vivo. This will certainly contribute to the improvement of ACDpost estimation methodologies and ultimately contribute to the improvement of IOL power calculation methodologies.

description: Exclusive data on the reactions pp -> ppK+K- and pp -> pK+ Lambda/Sigma0 have been taken at the cooler synchrotron COSY close to threshold. At equal excess energies, an enhancement of the Lambda/Sigma0 ratio by one order of magnitude has been observed compared to data at higher excess energies. New results obtained at the COSY-11 facility explore the transition region between this low-energy Sigma0 suppression and excess energies of 60 MeV. A first total cross section for elementary antikaon production below the phi threshold has been determined, two orders of magnitude smaller compared to kaon production at the same excess energy.

description: We analyze the flow of energy and entropy emitted by a class of moving mirror trajectories which provide models for the radiation fields produced by black hole evaporation. The mirror radiation fields provide natural, concrete examples of processes that follow thermal distributions for long periods, accompanied by transients which are brief and carry little net energy, yet they ultimately represent pure quantum states. A burst of negative energy flux is a generic feature of these fields, but it need not be prominent.

description: Soit $(ε_n)_{n\in\mathbf{Z}}$ un jeu de pile ou face, c'est-à-dire une suite de variables aléatoires indépendantes de loi $(δ_{-1}+δ_1)/2$, et $(H_n)_{n\in\mathbf{Z}}$ un processus à valeurs dans $\{-1,1\}$, prévisible dans la filtration naturelle de $(ε_n)_{n\in\mathbf{Z}}$. Alors $(H_nε_n)_{n\in \mathbf{Z}}$ est encore un jeu de pile ou face, dont la filtration naturelle est contenue dans celle de $(ε_n)_{n\in\mathbf{Z}}$. Le but de l'article est d'obtenir des conditions pour que ces filtrations soient égales et de décrire l'écart entre ces filtrations lorsqu'elles sont différentes. Nous nous intéressons plus particulièrement au cas des transformations homogènes, où le processus $(H_nε_n)_{n\in\mathbf{Z}}$ est une fonctionnelle de $(ε_n)_{n\in\mathbf{Z}}$ qui commute avec les translations. Nous étudions de façon approfondie les transformations homogènes de longueur finie, où $H_n$ est de la forme $ϕ(ε_{n-d},...,ε_{n-1})$ avec $d\in\mathbf {N}$ et $ϕ:\{-1;1\}^d\to\{-1;1\}$ fixés.

description: Based on an effective Hamiltonian with the binary alloy disorder model defined in the triangular lattice, the impurity scattering effects on the density of states and especially on the spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ of $p_x+ip_y$-wave superconductors are studied by solving numerically the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. In the clean limit, the coherence peak of $1/T_1$ is observed as expected. More intriguingly, for strong scattering potential, the temperature dependence of $1/T_1$ exhibits the two different power law behaviors near $T_{\text{c}}$ and at low temperatures, respectively, which is in good agreement with the nuclear quadrupolar resonance measurement.
