description: Natural rubber (NR) is the most commonly used elastomer in the automotive industry thanks to its outstanding fatigue resistance. Strain-induced crystallization (SIC) is found to play a role of paramount importance in the great crack growth resistance of NR [1]. Typically, NR exhibits a lifetime reinforcement for non-relaxing loadings [2-3]. At the microscopic scale, fatigue striations were observed on the fracture surface of Diabolo samples tested in fatigue. They are the signature of SIC [2,4,5]. In order to provide additional information on the role of SIC in the fatigue crack growth resistance of NR, striations are investigated through post-mortem analysis after fatigue experiments using loading ranging from-0.25 to 0.25. No striation was observed in the case of tests performed at 90{\textdegree}C. This confirms that the formation of striation requires a certain crystallinity level in the material. At 23{\textdegree}C, two striation regimes were identified: small striation patches with different orientations (Regime 1) and zones with large and well-formed striations (Regime 2). Since fatigue striations are observed for all the loading ratios applied, they are therefore not the signature of the reinforcement. Nevertheless, increasing the minimum value of the strain amplified the striation phenomenon and the occurrence of Regime 2.

description: This study tries to examine the technical efficiency of farmers and investigate its variation between owner-operators and tenants. A Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function and other econometric tools are employed on a cross-section data of 340 households. Mean technical efficiency of sample households is found to be around 62.8 percent, revealing a considerable potential for output gains under the given technology. Farmers having less than two hectares of land and “literate individual” headed households reported higher efficiency. Wealth, credit, fertilizer and rainfall contributed significantly to increase production. Regardless of tenancy-associated problems, no significant efficiency gap is observed between owner-operators and tenants. Although, it requires further inquiry to have a strong position, encouraging land rent/lease among farmers holding an incompatible resource mix could enhance efficiency. Findings suggested that efforts should be exerted towards providing training and extension services, developing small-scale irrigation schemes and expanding the coverage of credit provision to improve productive use of resources of farmers operating in both tenure systems.

description: The deformation of a nucleon embedded in various finite nuclei is considered by taking into account the distortion of the chiral profile functions under the action of an external field representing the nuclear density. The baryon charge distribution of the nucleon inside light, medium-heavy and heavy nuclei is discussed. The mass of the nucleon decreases as it is placed deeper inside the nucleus and reaches its minimum at the center of the nucleus. We discuss the quantization of non-spherical solitons and its consequences for the mass splitting of the delta states. We show that bound nucleons acquire an intrinsic quadrupole moment due to the deformation effects. These effects are maximal for densities of nuclei about ρ(R)\sim 0.3...0.35 ρ(0). We also point out that scale changes of the electromagnetic radii can not simply be described by an overall swelling factor.

description: A general characterization of lower and upper threshold configurations for two particle reactions is determined under the assumptions that the single particle dispersion relations E(p) are rotationally invariant and monotonic in p, and that energy and momentum are conserved and additive for multiple particles. It is found that at a threshold the final particle momenta are always parallel and the initial momenta are always anti-parallel. The occurrence of new phenomena not occurring in a Lorentz invariant setting, such as upper thresholds and asymmetric pair production thresholds, is explained, and an illustrative example is given.

description: Surface fogging is a common phenomenon that can have significant and detrimental effects on surface transparency and visibility. It affects the performance in a wide range of applications including windows, windshields, electronic displays, cameras, mirrors, and eyewear. A host of ongoing research is aimed at combating this problem by understanding and developing stable and effective anti-fogging coatings that are capable of handling a wide range of environmental challenges "passively" without consumption of electrical energy. Here we introduce an alternative approach employing sunlight to go beyond state-of-the-art techniques---such as superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic coatings---by rationally engineering solar absorbing metasurfaces that maintain transparency, while upon illumination, induce localized heating to significantly delay the onset of surface fogging or decrease defogging time. For the same environmental conditions, we demonstrate that our metasurfaces are able to reduce defogging time by up to four-fold and under supersaturated conditions inhibit the nucleation of condensate outperforming conventional state-of-the-art approaches in terms of visibility retention. Our research illustrates a durable and environmentally sustainable approach to passive anti-fogging and defogging for transparent surfaces. This work opens up the opportunity for large-scale manufacturing that can be applied to a range of materials, including polymers and other flexible substrates.

description: Early evidence from household-level surveys suggests that the one-cent-per-ounce tax on sugarsweetened beverages which took effect March 1, 2015 in Berkeley, California decreased consumption of sugar-sweetened-beverages by 21%2. Even if these findings are robust, the welfare implications of expanding the Berkeley soda tax policy at a national level are complicated by selection effects inherent in the populations of both voters and consumers. Based on their demographic composition, the soda preferences of voters who supported the Berkeley referendum likely differ from the preferences of high-soda-consuming households, and from the preferences of the average-soda consuming household in the United States. Further, we find consumption responses related to the tax interact nontrivially with consumer heterogeneity. Some of these responses directly counter the public policy goals of a soda tax: first, highconsuming households are less price sensitive, and therefore less responsive to price changes following a tax; and, second, “reactance” among high-consuming populations led to increases in soda consumption immediately following the passage of the tax, partially mitigating reductions in soda consumption.

description: We discuss a few possibilities of high-$T_c$ superconductivity with more than one orbital symmetry contributing to the pairing. First, we show that the high energies of orbital excitations in various cuprates suggest a simplified model with a single orbital of $x^2-y^2$ symmetry doped by holes. Next, several routes towards involving both $e_g$ orbital symmetries for doped holes are discussed: (i) some give superconductivity in a CuO$_2$ monolayer on Bi2212 superconductors, Sr$_2$CuO$_{4-δ}$, Ba$_2$CuO$_{4-δ}$, while (ii) others as nickelate heterostructures or Eu$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_4$, could in principle realize it as well. At low electron filling of Ru ions, spin-orbital entangled states of $t_{2g}$ symmetry contribute in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$. Finally, electrons with both $t_{2g}$ and $e_g$ orbital symmetries contribute to the superconducting properties and nematicity of Fe-based superconductors, pnictides or FeSe. Some of them provide examples of orbital-selective Cooper pairing.

description: Projecting economic growth, population and climate over the 21st century is challenging. One approach to this problem has been the develop of "Shared Socio-economic Pathways" designed to provide a consistent characterization of alternative evolutions of population, per capita income and climate. However, recent analysis has shown that the true extent of future growth uncertainty is likely far greater than that embodied in the SSPs. We build on the innovative work of Christensen et al., in order to construct 13 independent probability distributions of economic growth in the 21st century. For each of these distributions, we use a stochastic dynamic partial equilibrium model of global land use to compute the optimal rate of R&D investment as well as the ensuing path of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth to 2100. When there is a significant probability of non-positive growth, the optimal response is to invest a lot in R&D today, and maintain a fairly flat trajectory over the entire century. This is in sharp contrast to the optimal path when growth rates are strictly positive. In this case, R&D spending starts out slow, and accelerates over time. Since we do not know which expert, if any, is correct, we propose a novel approach to dealing with this ambiguity by minimizing the maximum regret across all 13 optimal growth paths. This results in 50% higher R&D spending early in the century than that dictated by a mean growth rate deterministic model. However, by mid-century, optimal R&D spending levels off, and the resulting TFP plateaus at a level which is about 75% higher than at the start of the century.
Scaling of voids and fractality in the galaxy distribution

description: We study here, from first principles, what properties of voids are to be expected in a fractal point distribution and how the void distribution is related to its morphology. We show this relation in various examples and apply our results to the distribution of galaxies. If the distribution of galaxies forms a fractal set, then this property results in a number of scaling laws to be fulfilled by voids. Consider a fractal set of dimension $D$ and its set of voids. If voids are ordered according to decreasing sizes (largest void has rank R=1, second largest R=2 and so on), then a relation between size $Λ$ and rank of the form $Λ(R) \propto R^{-z}$ must hold, with $z = d/D$, and where $d$ is the euclidean dimension of the space where the fractal is embedded. The physical restriction $D < d$ means that $z > 1$ in a fractal set. The average size $\bar Λ$ of voids depends on the upper ($Λ_u$) and the lower ($Λ_l$) cut-off as ${\bar Λ} \propto Λ_u^{1-D/d} Λ_l^{D/d}$. Current analysis of void sizes in the galaxy distribution do not show evidence of a fractal distribution, but are insufficient to rule it out. We identify possible shortcomings of current void searching algorithms, such as changes of shape in voids at different scales or merging of voids, and propose modifications useful to test fractality in the galaxy distribution.

description: Genetically modified cotton varieties have greater production efficiency for smallholders in farming communities in China. We also find that the adoption of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton varieties leads to a significant decrease in the use of pesticides. Hence, we demonstrate that Bt cotton appears to be an agricultural technology that improves both production efficiency and the environment. In terms of policies, our findings suggest that the government should investigate whether or not they should make additional investments to spread Bt to other cotton regions and to other crops.

description: Whether or not the thermodynamic entropy is equal to the entanglement entropy of an eigenstate, is of fundamental interest, and is closely related to the `Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH)'. However, this has never been exploited as a diagnostic tool in many-body localized systems. In this work, we perform this diagnostic test on a clean interacting system (subjected to a static electric field) that exhibits three distinct phases: integrable, non-integrable ergodic and non-integrable many-body-localized (MBL). We find that in the non-integrable ergodic phase, the equivalence between the thermodynamic entropy and the entanglement entropy of individual eigenstates, holds. In sharp contrast, in the integrable and non-integrable MBL phases, the entanglement entropy shows large eigenstate-to-eigenstate fluctuations, and differs from the thermodynamic entropy. Thus the non-integrable MBL phase violates ETH similar to an integrable system; however, a key difference is that the magnitude of the entanglement entropy in the MBL phase is significantly smaller than in the integrable phase, where the entanglement entropy is of the same order of magnitude as in the non-integrable phase, but with a lot of eigenstate-to-eigenstate fluctuations. Quench dynamics from an initial CDW state independently supports the validity of the ETH in the ergodic phase and its violation in the MBL phase.

description: Introduction: Persistent infection with human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) is one of the main etiologic causes of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). OPSCC is a rising problem around the world increasing in Asia, Europe, and North America. Our goal was to demonstrate whether CRISPR/Cas9 knock out of HPV16 E7 gene and adding a STING agonist treatment would result in effective tumour clearance and reactivation of the innate immune response. Methods: We evaluated the efficacy of collective treatment with a CRISPR/Cas9 inducible doxycycline system to edit HPV16 E7 and the effect of STING agonists in vitro and in vivo models. Results: In vitro models successfully knocked out the HPV16 E7 gene from OPSCC cells and combined with CT DNA as STING agonist, increased IFNβ. In vivo experiments showed that CRISPR of E7 in combination with STING agonist 2'3'-cGAMP produces a significant tumour regression and elevation of the IFNβ response. Conclusion: Joint therapy of CRISPR/Cas9 inducible system with STING agonists made possible the targeted inactivation of HPV16 E7, the significant regression of OPSCC tumours and the mitigation of the innate immune system response restricted by E7. This inducible knocking out system has the potential to be used as a powerful aid in immunotherapy treatments for OPSCC after adjusting for more specificity and less inflammatory responses.

We show how, in contrast to the polaritonic surfaces, its features directly correlate to the proton dynamics and discuss cavity-modifications of its structure responsible for the suppression. The results highlight the interplay between non-adiabatic effects from coupling to photons and coupling to electrons, and suggest caution is needed when applying traditional dynamics methods based on polaritonic surfaces.

A phenomenological scheme, based on a linear ansatz for the energy dependence of the scalar and vector components of the nucleon self-energy for states close to the Fermi surface, allows a simultaneous description of binding energies, radii, deformations and single-nucleon spectra in a self-consistent relativistic framework. The model is applied to the spherical, doubly closed-shell nuclei 132Sn and 208Pb.

description: According to the data of survey on farmers' land right from Rural Development Institute (the USA) , Renmin University of China and Michigan S ate University, this paper conducts empirical analysis on farmers' willingness to accept compensation ho e land is expropriated and the related influencing factors by adopting Logistic model. The study indicates that the proportion of farmers' non-agricultural income, the level of economic development in the region, participation right and right to vote, exert conspicuous impact on farmers' satisfaction degree whose land is expropriated. In the provinces that are surveyed, most of the expropriated land is used for the public welfare project building, and in the current context of rapid urbanization, the conditions for defining public interests have not yet been put in place; the farmers in developed regions with more non-agricultural job opportunities express higher degree of satisfaction to the compensation for expropriated land; it is required to establish sound land expropriation compensation mechanism and bolster farmers' participation right, so as to offer fair and reasonable compensation for the farmers whose land is expropriated.

description: Land use and land cover have rapidly changed in Kham basin, northern Laos, with a rapid expansion of maize cultivated area. While maize monoculture has contributed to reduce rural poverty, many farmers are now confronted to declining yields, indebtedness, rising health and environmental concerns. Interventions at two different stages of the maize boom, i.e. expansion-intensification and distress-diversification phases, allowed capturing the main drivers of change in maize production systems, and assessing opportunities and constraints for the adoption of more sustainable maize-legume mixed systems. The successive innovations in maize cropping systems, i.e. introduction of hybrid seeds, motorized tillage, herbicides, service provision, planters, and mineral fertilizers, were mainly driven by productivity and profitability objectives. Farmers’ interest in maize-legume mixed systems was low during maize expansion-intensification phase. The decline in maize profitability and new market outlets for legumes open new opportunity windows for maize-legume mixed systems. Yet, farmers’ adoption of such systems is limited by (i) local perceptions of legumes as cash crops only, and (ii) farmers’ least effort strategies that includes e.g. heavy herbicide use and livestock free roaming after maize harvest. Large-scale adoption of maize-legume mixed systems requires innovative intervention mechanisms to engage local stakeholders into redesigning their landscapes and value-chains.

description: The eccentric pie chart, a generalization of the traditional pie chart is introduced. An arbitrary point is fixed within the circle and rays are drawn from it. A sector is bounded by a pair of neighboring rays and the arc between them, The sector's area, aimed to be equal to a given proportion, is calculated from some well known equations in coordinate geometry. The resulting system of polynomial and trigonometric equations can be approximated by a fully polynomial system, once the non-polynomial functions are approximated by their Taylor series written up to the first few terms. The roots of the polynomial system have been found by the homotopy continuation method, then used as starting points of a Newton iteration for the original (non-polynomial) system. The method is illustrated on a special pie cutting problem, and is applicable to a wide class of nonlinear, non-polynomial systems.

description: By using cross-section data on consumption structure of rural residents in Gansu Province in 2007 and 2008, this paper adopts ELES model to conduct empirical analysis on consumption structure of rural residents in Gansu Province It indicates that in the current consumption structure of rural residents in Gansu Province, food expenditure is still at the most important and basic level; me overall consumption level of rural residents in Gansu Province is not high; at present, the consumption of rural residents in Gansu Province still hinges in a large measure on income, vulnerable to the price fluctuation. Consequently, increasing farmers' income and stabilizing the level of commodity price, turns out to be a foundation as well as an important approach to improve consumption structure of rural residents in Gansu Province.

description: A shape of the signals in proportional chamber with preamplification gap and electron component extraction from proportional discharge has been investigated. It was shown for Penning mixtures that in proportional discharge besides the primary avalanches there is also the tail of secondary avalanches caused by metastable and nonmetastable Penning effects. For different mixtures of gases the duration of the signals caused by secondary avalanches are equal to ~ n*10 microseconds (n = 1 - 10), the total charge of secondary avalanches is comparable or larger than in primary avalanches.

description: A plethora of models of the universe have been proposed in recent years claiming that the present universe is accelerating, being driven by some hypothetical source with negative pressure collectively known as {\it dark energy} which though do not appear to resemble any known form of matter tested in the laboratory. These models are motivated by the high redshift supernovae Ia observations. Though low density models, without dark energy, also appear to fit the SN Ia data reasonably well, however, they are ruled out by the CMB observations. In this paper, we present a warped brane model with an additional surface term of brane curvature scalar in the action. This results in shifting the {\it dynamical curvature} of the model from its {\it geometrical} counterpart, which creates profound consequences. Even for Λ=0, the low energy decelerating model successfully explains the observed locations of the peaks in the angular power spectrum of CMB. This model also fits the high redshift supernovae Ia observations, taken together with the recently observed SN 1997ff at z~1.7, very well. Additionally, it also fits the data on the angular size and redshift of the compact radio sources very well.

description: Anthropogenic pressures on standing waterbody systems potentially result in changes to sediment and water qualities, and thus ecological community characteristics. We tested effects of drawdown on physical, water and sediment variables, as well as their effects on littoral macroinvertebrate community composition in two subtropical reservoirs. Water levels differed significantly between reservoirs and over time, with significant effects on several water chemistry parameters (e.g., pH, conductivity, Mg, Fe), whilst sediment properties were less affected. Significant effects of water level, site and macrophyte cover on macroinvertebrate community structures were not detected, however macroinvertebrate community structuring differed significantly over time. Redundancy analysis (RDA) highlighted that the first and second axes accounted for 45.6% of the total macroinvertebrate community and environmental variables relationship variance. Most of the sediment variables, such as Cu, Mg, Na and Pb and water chemistry (i.e., HCO3-), were positively associated with the first axis, while water temperature and pH were negatively associated with the first axis. The RDA variation partitioning showed that water and sediment chemistry variables accounted for 40.3% and 30.3%, respectively, of the total macroinvertebrate variation. The present study contributes to understandings of the interplays between water level, physico-chemical properties and community compositions in human-altered aquatic ecosystems.

description: The study of street network patterns is beneficial in understanding the layout or physical form of a city. Many studies have analyzed street network patterns, but the similarity and/or difference of street network patterns across a country or region are rarely quantitatively understood. To fill this gap, this research proposes a quantitative analysis of street network patterns nationwide. Specifically, the streetnetwork patterns across a country or region were first mapped, and then the relationship between such patterns and various landscape factors (calculated based onglobal open data) was quantitatively investigated by employing three regression models (OLS, SLM and SEM). Not only the whole region of China but also its sub-regions were used as study areas, which involved a total of 362 prefecture-level cities and 2081 built-up areas for analysis. Results showed that: (1) Similar street network patterns are spatially aggregated. (2) A number of factors, including bothland-cover and terrain factors, are found to be significantly correlated with street network patterns. (3) The spatial autoregressive model SLM is preferred in most of the application scenarios. Not only the analytical method and data can be applied to other countries and regions, but also these findings are useful for understanding street network patterns and their associated urban forms in a country or region.

Development of an inverse identification method for identifying constitutive parameters by metaheuristic optimization algorithm: Application to hyperelastic materials

description: In the present study, a numerical method based on a metaheuristic parametric algorithm has been developed to identify the constitutive parameters of hyperelastic models, by using FE simulations and full kinematic field measurements. The full kinematic field is measured at the surface of a cruciform specimen submitted to equibiaxial tension. The sample is reconstructed by FE to obtain the numerical kinematic field to be compared with the experimental one. The constitutive parameters used in the numerical model are then modified through the optimization process, for the numerical kinematic field to fit with the experimental one. The cost function is then formulated as the minimization of the difference between these two kinematic fields. The optimization algorithm is an adaptation of the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, based on the PageRank algorithm used by the famous search engine Google. INTRODUCTION The constitutive parameters of hyperelastic models are generally identified from three homogeneous tests, basically the uniaxial tension, the pure shear and the equibiaxial tension. From about 10 years, an alternative methodology has been developed [1, 2, 3, 4], and consists in performing only one heterogeneous test as long as the field is sufficiently heterogeneous. This is tipically the case when a multiaxial loading is applied to a 3 branch or a 4-branch cruciform specimen, which induces a large number of mechanical states at the specimen surface. The induced heterogeneity is generally analysed through the distribution of the biaxiality ratio and the maximal eigen value of the strain. The Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique is generally used to retrieve the different mechanical states induces, and provides the full kinematic field at the specimen surface, i.e. a large number of experimental data to be analysed to identify the constitutive parameters of the behaviour model considered.
