description: It has been proposed that Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at sub-millimeter waves will allow us to image the shadow of the black hole in the center of our Milky Way, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), and thereby test basic predictions of general relativity. This paper presents imaging simulations of a new Space VLBI mission concept. An initial design study of the concept has been presented as the Event Horizon Imager (EHI). The EHI may be suitable for imaging Sgr A* at high frequencies (up to ~690 GHz), which has significant advantages over performing ground-based VLBI at 230 GHz. The concept EHI design consists of two or three satellites in polar or equatorial circular Medium-Earth Orbits with slightly different radii. Due to the relative drift of the satellites along the individual orbits, this setup will result in a dense spiral-shaped uv-coverage with long baselines (up to ~60 Glambda), allowing for extremely high-resolution and high-fidelity imaging of radio sources. We simulate EHI observations of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics models of Sgr A* and calculate the expected noise based on preliminary system parameters. On long baselines, where the signal-to-noise ratio may be low, fringes could be detected if the system is sufficiently phase stable and the satellite orbits can be reconstructed with sufficient accuracy. Averaging visibilities accumulated over multiple epochs of observations could then help improving the image quality. With three satellites, closure phases could be used for imaging. Our simulations show that the EHI could be capable of imaging the black hole shadow of Sgr A* with a resolution of 4 uas (about 8% of the shadow diameter) within several months of observing time. The EHI concept could thus be used to measure black hole shadows much more precisely than with ground-based VLBI, allowing for stronger tests of general relativity and accretion models.

 Xyela coerulea Schilling in Gravenhorst, 1830: 54–55, sex?, Poland: Silesia [“ Schlesien ”], Zobtenberg; nomen nudum.
 Xyela caerulea: Dalla Torre 1894: 399 (unjustified emendation).
 Remarks. The name Xyela coerulea is mentioned with Schilling as the author in Gravenhorst’s (1830) report about the 1829’s meetings of the entomological section of the “ Schlesische Gesellschaft für vaterländische Cultur ”: “Hr. Schilling beschrieb eine neue Art von Xyela, welche coerulea genannt wurde, und am Zobtenberg gefangen war [...]” [Mr Schilling described a new species of Xyela, which has been called coerulea, and which was collected at the Zobtenberg]. Dalla Torre (1894) emended the name as caerulea, and Klima (1937) listed it as a species inquirenda. Smith (1978) correctly treated it as a nomen nudum, because the name was not accompanied by an original description (Art. 12.1, ICZN 1999).

description: We derive constraints on the time variation of the Higgs vacuum expectation value $$ through the effects on Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In the former case, we include the (previously-neglected) effect of the change in the deuteron binding energy, which alters both the $^4$He and deuterium abundances significantly. We find that the current BBN limits on the relative change in \higgs are $-(0.6 - 0.7) \times 10^{-2} < Delta/ < (1.5 - 2.0) \times 10^{-2}$, where the exact limits depend on the model we choose for the dependence of the deuteron binding energy on \higgs.The limits from the current CMB data are much weaker.

description: Through various applications, the importance of mobile technologies has been more evident in developing economies since the late 1990s. One such application has been mobile money services, where mobile network subscribers transfer money electronically via a mobile phone, thus eliminating some of the developing countries’ persistent barriers to financial services for instance financial market exclusion and remoteness. Despite mobile technologies’ anticipated potential towards rural socio-economic development, there is however yet a very limited empirical focus on their welfare impacts. Using regression models and a panel data of 874 observations collected from predominantly coffee farmers in central Uganda, we argue that mobile money use has a positive impact on several income-enhancing mechanisms along the income pathway to smallholder household welfare. Compared to non-users, rural households using mobile money sell more of their coffee produce in a high-value form as shelled beans, receive higher prices for these shelled beans, and earn more off-farm income, with or without remittances. All these mechanisms enhance incomes, thus welfare.

 Xyela erichsonii: Hartig 1837: 352 (misspelling); Dalla Torre 1894: 399 (unjustified emendation).
 Remarks. Dahlbom (1835) listed Xyela erichsoni as follows: “ Xyela Erichsoni mih. nov. sp.—Jemtlandia, D. Boheman”. This taxon has been treated as available, e.g., by Hartig (1837) but as unknown to the author, and by Klima (1937) under species inquirendae. Thomson (1871), who had studied Dahlbom’s material, did not take note of it. Hartig (1837) and Dalla Torre (1894) listed it as erichsonii, an unjustified emendation. Schedl (1978) associated X. erichsoni with Xyelatana (= Xyela longula group). The name has to be set aside as a nomen nudum (Smith 1978), because it was not accompanied by an original description (Art. 12.1, ICZN 1999).

description: This study assesses the degree of vertical price transmission along the wheat-bread value chain in Ethiopia. This is pursued by applying a vector error correction model (VECM) and an impulse response analysis using monthly price data for the period 2000 –2015. The empirical findings indicate that significant cointegration exists across prices of the different stages along the value chain. In particular, there is a strong price shock transmission for the price pair international–local wholesale wheat prices. This suggests that international wheat price shocks could have significant consequences for the Ethiopian economy, given that the country is not only a net importer of wheat but it also imports a sizable amount vis-à-vis the domestic production. Although price shocks are transmitted along the value chain to a different extent, the speed of adjustment is quite slow. For instance, less than 6% of the disequilibrium in bread prices is eliminated in one month, implying that it takes longer that one year for bread price to virtually restore to its long-run equilibrium value after a shock. The results also reveal that causal relationships exist between prices at different market stages. To this end, the impulse response analysis shows diverse responses to shocks, with some shocks producing weak and temporary adjustments while others producing stronger and persistent changes. We found that producer and wholesale market levels play a dominant role in the wheat value chain, implying that policies may give particular attention to these markets.

description: Human activity recognition has gained importance in recent years due to its applications in various fields such as health, security and surveillance, entertainment, and intelligent environments. A significant amount of work has been done on human activity recognition and researchers have leveraged different approaches, such as wearable, object-tagged, and device-free, to recognize human activities. In this article, we present a comprehensive survey of the work conducted over the period 2010-2018 in various areas of human activity recognition with main focus on device-free solutions. The device-free approach is becoming very popular due to the fact that the subject is not required to carry anything, instead, the environment is tagged with devices to capture the required information. We propose a new taxonomy for categorizing the research work conducted in the field of activity recognition and divide the existing literature into three sub-areas: action-based, motion-based, and interaction-based. We further divide these areas into ten different sub-topics and present the latest research work in these sub-topics. Unlike previous surveys which focus only on one type of activities, to the best of our knowledge, we cover all the sub-areas in activity recognition and provide a comparison of the latest research work in these sub-areas. Specifically, we discuss the key attributes and design approaches for the work presented. Then we provide extensive analysis based on 10 important metrics, to give the reader, a complete overview of the state-of-the-art techniques and trends in different sub-areas of human activity recognition. In the end, we discuss open research issues and provide future research directions in the field of human activity recognition.

description: This paper explores the opportunities for integrating Initiative Based Learning (IBL) and Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) in order to improve our understanding of learning in the context of societal transition pathways, and more specifically by focusing on solar PV as an energy transition technology. Our analysis shows that IAMs and IBL conceptualize learning in a very different way, and the two approaches have major structural differences with respect to the geographical as well as the temporal scale of analysis. This is also due to the different goals of the two methodologies. The aim of IAM is to develop long-term energy and technology scenarios for the next thirty to eighty years, and to describe learning processes mostly to account for future potential improvements in technologies, while IBL focuses on understanding the configuration of actors in specific institutional settings that legitimize and support specific technologies and ultimately lead to dynamics of social learning. Although ambitious forms of integration between IAMs and IBL are not feasible today, the two approaches can be used in parallel and lead to mutual enrichment via a process that we label a two-way recursive collaboration.

description: The extremal index is a quantity introduced in extreme value theory to measure the presence of clusters of exceedances. In the dynamical systems framework, it provides important information about the dynamics of the underlying systems. In this paper we provide a review of the meaning of the extremal index in dynamical systems. Depending on the observables used, this quantity can inform on local properties of attractors such as periodicity, stability and persistence in phase space, or on global properties such as the Lyapunov exponents. We also introduce a new estimator of the extremal index and shows its relation with those previously introduced in the statistical literature. We reserve a particular focus to the systems perturbed with noise as they are a good paradigm of many natural phenomena. Different kind of noises are investigated in the annealed and quenched situations. Applications to climate data are also presented.

description: In international climate change negotiations, China’s role is an issue of perennial concern. In particular, the lack of quantitative, absolute emissions commitments from China has been the focus. In line with changing domestic and international contexts, China is recalibrating its stance and strategy. Its participation in international climate change negotiations has evolved from playing a peripheral role to gradually moving to the centre. This article examines China’s stance and role in international climate change negotiations from a historical perspective. In so doing, the article discusses the evolution of international climate negotiations and China’s stance in the lead-up to and at the Paris conference. With Paris behind us, the focus is now turning to the implementation of the Paris Agreement. The article discusses post-Paris issues in the international context and in particular in China’s context. These affect the post Paris negotiations and hold the key to achieving desired outcomes.

description: The generation and manipulation of hybrid entanglement of light involving discrete- and continuous-variable states have recently appeared as essential resources towards the realization of heterogeneous quantum networks. Here we investigate a scheme for the remote generation of hybrid entanglement between particle-like and wave-like optical qubits based on a non-local heralding photon detection. We also extend this scheme with additional local or non-local detections. An additional local heralding allows the resulting state to exhibit a higher fidelity with the targeted entangled qubits while a two-photon non-local heralding detection gives access to a higher dimensionality in the discrete-variable subspace, resulting thereby in the generation of hybrid entangled qutrits. The implementation of the presented schemes, in combination with ongoing works on high-fidelity quantum state engineering, will provide novel non-classical light sources for the development of optical hybrid architectures.

description: Universal access to modern energy services, in terms of access to electricity and to modern cooking facilities, has been recognized as a fundamental challenge for development. Despite strong praise for action and the deployment of large-scale electrification programs and improved cookstove (ICS) distribution campaigns, few studies have shed light on the barriers to, the enablers of and the impacts of access to energy on development outcomes, using rigorous methodologies. This paper reviews this recent strand of research, trying to fill these gaps. We focus on the demand-side and household perspective. Our main outcomes of interest are electricity connection and ICS adoption for the analysis of barriers, time allocation, labour market outcomes and welfare for the impact analysis. We provide evidence of significant wellbeing impacts of electrification, and mixed evidence for cookstoves.

description: We study spin textures in a quantum Hall Ising ferromagnet. Domain walls between ferro and unpolarized states at $ν=2$ are analyzed with a functional theory supported by a microscopic calculation. In a neutral wall, Hartree repulsion prevents the appearance of a fan phase provoked by a negative stiffness. For a charged system, electrons become trapped as solitons at the domain wall. The size and energy of the solitons are determined by both Hartree and spin-orbit interactions. Finally, we discuss how electrical transport takes place through the domain wall.

description: The ingestion of tea flavonoids (TF) and fructooligosaccharide (FOS) contributes to anti-hyperlipidaemia. In the current study, TF or FOS or TF together with FOS were orally administrated to mice fed a high sucrose (HS) diet. UPLC-MS analyses showed that FOS significantly increased the concentrations of urine catechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate and gallocatechin gallate. The mice fed with HS for continuous 8 weeks exhibited severe dyslipidemia and abnormal liver fat accumulation. However, oral administration of FOS or TF or in combination significantly decreased the effects of HS on the serum total cholesterol, total triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein. Co-treatment of FOS and TF more effectively regulated lipid metabolism by inhibiting lipogenesis. Intake of TF together with FOS reduced the level of dyslipidemia marker (elaidic acid) by increasing anti-oxidative activity than treatments of FOS or TP alone in HS-fed mice. Histological observations of liver confirmed these health benefits.

description: In this work we look at the connection between the direction of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) jets and the orientation of their host galaxies. Using both Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and optical surveys, we can observe the innermost regions of the AGN jets in pc-scale as well as the kpc-scale host galaxy. We take careful consideration of the bias in the orientation of the jets and galaxies in the different optical surveys and find that the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Legacy Survey (DESI LS) is the least affected, being the only optical survey used for the final results. Among the 5853 optical counterparts of the radio jets found in DESI LS, we find a weak but significant (p-value $\lesssim$ 0.01) alignment between the parsec-scale jet and the kpc-scale optical minor axis of the host galaxy for resolved sources with a measured spectroscopic redshift. This suggests that the observed source properties are connected over 3 orders of magnitude in scale.

description: We study the theoretical signature of magnetic masses on the light curve of gravitational microlensing effect in NUT space. The light curves for microlensing events in NUT space are presented and contrasted with those due to lensing produced by normal matter. In the next step, associating magnetic mass to massive astrophysical compact objects (MACHOs), we try to see its effect on the light curves of microlensing candidates observered by the MACHO group. Presence or absence of this feature in the observed microlensing events can shed light on the question of the existence of magnetic masses in the Universe.

description: The Lufeng area is a key locality for Early and Middle Jurassic Chinese dinosaurs. This region is perhaps best known internationally for the co-occurrence of basal sauropodomorph-eusauropod dinosaurs and has therefore been an important research area since the 1930s. We review on a series of palaeoecological analyses in this paper and assess biomass, in particular, using skeletal fossils from this region and analyses of large living terrestrial vertebrates as well as new sporopollenin and sedimentary information. The results of this analysis suggest a gradual substitution of basal sauropodomorphs (e.g. Lufengosaurus) by eusauropods (e.g. Chuanjiesaurus) between the Early Jurassic and Middle Jurassic in concert with increasing biomass and decreasing overall faunal diversity.

description: In the field of bioimaging, an important part of analyzing the motion of objects is tracking. We propose a method that applies the Sinkhorn distance for solving the optimal transport problem to track objects. The advantage of this method is that it can flexibly incorporate various assumptions in tracking as a cost matrix. First, we extend the Sinkhorn distance from two dimensions to three dimensions. Using this three-dimensional distance, we compare the performance of two types of tracking technique, namely tracking that associates objects that are close to each other, which conventionally uses the nearest-neighbor method, and tracking that assumes that the object is moving at constant velocity, using three types of simulation data. The results suggest that when tracking objects moving at constant velocity, our method is superior to conventional nearest-neighbor tracking as long as the added noise is not excessively large. We show that the Sinkhorn method can be applied effectively to object tracking. Our simulation data analysis suggests that when objects are moving at constant velocity, our method, which sets acceleration as a cost, outperforms the traditional nearest-neighbor method in terms of tracking objects. To apply the proposed method to real bioimaging data, it is necessary to set an appropriate cost indicator based on the movement features.

description: We evaluate the effects of different marketing and distribution techniques on the purchase of Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Nets (LL-ITN). Using a randomized controlled trial in urban Senegal, we look at the impacts of receiving information on malaria-related issues and of different sale treatments. We find that overall information has no significant effect on the demand for LL-ITNs, but has a significant effect on individuals who have never attended school and have poor knowledge of malaria. Receiving an offer to purchase an LL-ITN with a voucher valid for 7 days increases purchases by 23 percentage points, compared to an on-the-spot sale offer.

description: Viral hepatitis is the regularly found health problem throughout the world among other easily transmitted diseases, such as tuberculosis, human immune virus, malaria and so on. Among all hepatitis viruses, the uppermost numbers of deaths are result from the long-lasting hepatitis C infection or long-lasting hepatitis B. In order to develop this system, the knowledge is acquired using both structured and semi-structured interviews from internists of St.Paul Hospital. Once the knowledge is acquired, it is modeled and represented using rule based reasoning techniques. Both forward and backward chaining is used to infer the rules and provide appropriate advices in the developed expert system. For the purpose of developing the prototype expert system SWI-prolog editor also used. The proposed system has the ability to adapt with dynamic knowledge by generalizing rules and discover new rules through learning the newly arrived knowledge from domain experts adaptively without any help from the knowledge engineer.

description: The weekly release of the U.S. inventory level by the DOE-EIA is known as the market mover in the U.S. oil futures market and to be a significant piece of information for all world oil markets in which the WTI is a price benchmark. We uncover suspicious trading patterns in the WTI futures markets in days when the inventory level is released that are higher than economists’ forecasts: there are significantly more orders initiated by buyers in the two hours preceding the official release of the inventory level. We also show a clear drop in the average price of -0.25% ahead of the news release. This is consistent with informed trading. We also provide evidence of an asymmetric response of the oil price to the news, and highlight an over-reaction that is partly compensated in the hours following the announcement.

description: We consider the effect that gravity has when one tries to set up a constant background form field. We find that in analogy with the Melvin solution, where magnetic field lines self-gravitate to form a flux-tube, the self-gravity of the form field creates fluxbranes. Several exact solutions are found corresponding to different transverse spaces and world-volumes, a dilaton coupling is also considered.

description: Plastics entering the environment can not only undergo physical degradation and fragmentation processes, but they also tend to be colonized by microorganisms. Microbial colonization and the subsequent biofilm formation on plastics can alter their palatability to organisms and result in a higher ingestion as compared to pristine plastics. To date, the early stage of biofilm formation on plastic materials has not been investigated in context of the environmental medium and polymer properties. We explored the early-stage biofilm formation on polyamide (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) after incubation in freshwater and artificial seawater and categorized the structural diversity on images obtained via scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, by the measurement of the initial ζ-potential of the plastic materials, we found that PA with the highest negative ζ-potential tended to have the highest structural diversity, followed by PET and PVC after incubation in freshwater. However, PVC with the lowest negative ζ-potential showed the highest structural diversity after incubation in seawater, indicating that the structural diversity is additionally dependent on the incubation medium. Our results give insights into how the incubation medium and polymer properties can influence the early-stage biofilm formation of just recently environmentally exposed microplastics. These differences are responsible for whether organisms may ingest microplastic particles with their food or not.

Radical mediation

description: The article explores the concept of radical immersion beginning with an analysis of Giandomenico Tiepolo’s 1791 fresco, Il Mondo Novo, and of a Panstoscopio, an optical device that immerses viewers in detailed, faraway landscapes. It highlights the cultural and psychological implications of this device, positioning Venice as a prime example of a city designed for sensory immersion. Drawing connections to modern technologies like Virtual Reality, it illustrates how both historical and contemporary immersive experiences envelope the viewer in a separate, perceptual reality. The water imagery in Tiepolo’s fresco becomes a metaphor for both the literal and symbolic immersion experienced in a city deeply connected to its aquatic environment. Further, the article discusses the emergence of Venice Immersive, a showcase of Extended Reality works. Ultimately, it argues that immersion serves as a radical act of sensory and cognitive transformation, blurring the lines between the real and the virtual, the human and the non-human, according to Richard Grusin’s notion of radical mediation. By tracing the roots of immersive media back to Venice’s physical and cultural landscape, the article suggests that the city embodies a radical model of sensory engagement that anticipates the modern, digital immersive experiences of today.

description: Credit constraint in agriculture affects not only the purchasing power of producers to procure farm inputs and to cover operating costs in the short run, but also their capacity to make farm-related investments as well as risk behavior in technology choice and adoption. These, in turn, influence technical efficiencies of the farmers. Although credit constraint problem has been recognized in economics literature, especially in those dealing with developing countries, little emphasis has been given to its effect on productive efficiency of farmers. In light of this, explicitly considering credit constraint, this paper estimated technical efficiency of credit-constrained (CCFHs) and unconstrained farm households (CUFHs) by employing a stochastic frontier technique on farm household survey data from Southeastern Ethiopia. The CCFHs had mean technical efficiency score of 12% less than that of the CUFHs. Given the largest proportion of CCFHs in Ethiopian farming population, this gap implies considerable potential loss in output due to inefficient production. Improving technical efficiency of all farm households in general but more of particularly the CCFHs is desirable. Additional sources of inefficiency differential between the two groups were also identified, and education level of household heads, land fragmentation and loan size significantly affected technical efficiencies of both groups. Besides, wealth and experience affected the CCFHs, and household size affected the CUFHs. In general, the results have important implications for credit, education and land policies in developing countries.

description: We present a stochastic algorithm for constructing a topologically disordered (i.e., non-regular) spatial lattice with nodes of constant coordination number, the CC lattice. The construction procedure dramatically improves on an earlier proposal [Phys. Rev. E. 97, 022144 (2018)] with respect to both computational complexity and finite-size scaling properties - making the CC lattice an alternative to proximity graphs which, especially in higher dimensions, is significantly faster to build. Among other applications, physical systems such as certain amorphous materials with low concentration of coordination defects are an important example of disordered, constant-coordination lattices in nature. As a concrete application, we characterize the criticality of the 3D Ising model on the CC lattice. We find that its phase transition belongs to the clean Ising universality class, establishing that the disorder present in the CC lattice is a non-relevant perturbation in the sense of renormalization group theory.
