description: Mosquitoes transfer several diseases to humans and animals in many parts of the world. Mosquito control depends mainly on chemical insecticides which can lead to insecticide resistance, environmental problems and health issues. In this paper, we report the isolation and characterisation of a potential mosquitocidal bacterial strain (Bacillus velezensis WHk23) belonging to the operational group Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Phylogenetic analysis using rpoB gene confirmed that the isolate belongs to Bacillus velezensis. Genetic analysis by polymerase chain reaction indicated the presence of genes encoding for several lipopolypeptides and polyketides such as surfactin, bacillomycin, fengycin, iturin, macrolactin, bacillaene and difficidin. Crude toxin from the bacterial strain demonstrated larvicidal and pupicidal activity against both Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus. Larval LC50 was 25.41 and 33.97 µg/ml while pupal LC50 was 4.05 and 12.63 µg/ml for An. stephensi and C. quinquefasciatus, respectively. With increasing reports of mosquito resistance to different chemical and biological insecticides, these results suggest that the new isolate may have a potential for use as a safe environmentally friendly alternative for mosquito control.

description: We report on a direct measurement of sizable interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (iDMI) at the interface of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (2D-TMD), MoS$_{\rm 2}$ and Ni$_{80}$Fe$_{20}$ (Py) using Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy. A clear asymmetry in spin-wave dispersion is measured in MoS$_{\rm 2}$/Py/Ta, while no such asymmetry is detected in the reference Py/Ta system. A linear scaling of the DMI constant with the inverse of Py thickness indicates the interfacial origin of the observed DMI. We further observe an enhancement of DMI constant in three to four layer MoS$_{\rm 2}$/Py system (by 56$\%$) as compared to 2 layer MoS$_{\rm 2}$/Py which is caused by a higher density of MoO$_{\rm 3}$ defect species in the case of three to four layer MoS$_{\rm 2}$. The results open possibilities of spin-orbitronic applications utilizing the 2D-TMD based heterostructures.

description: From high resolution spectra of 61 cool dwarfs and giants, Mg isotopic abundance ratios 24Mg:25Mg:26Mg are derived from spectral synthesis of the MgH A-X lines near 5140A. Our sample spans the range -2.5 < [Fe/H] < 0.1, including the first measurements of Mg isotope ratios in stars with metallicities below [Fe/H]=-2.0. We confirm the decrease in 25,26Mg/24Mg with decreasing [Fe/H] as predicted by recent models of Galactic chemical evolution where the Mg isotopes are produced in massive stars. A subset of kinematically identified thin disk stars have Mg isotope ratios in excellent agreement with the predictions. Within the measurement uncertainties, these thin disk stars show no scatter about the predictions. Several of our stars are likely members of the thick disk and their high Mg isotopic ratios may reflect the nucleosynthetic history of the thick disk which is distinct from the predictions for, and observations of, the thin disk. For thick disk and halo stars we find a scatter in 25,26Mg/24Mg exceeding our measurement uncertainties and increasing with increasing metallicity. Our data suggest that an additional source of 25Mg and 26Mg is required. Intermediate mass asymptotic giant branch stars are likely candidates.

description: In this paper we present the theoretical basis for the modeling of weakly gravitationally lensed extended sources that are polarized. This technique has been used in the past to constrain the mass profiles of galaxies projected against the jet of the quasar 3C9. Since then, work has been done to improve both the measurement and theoretical modeling of the lensing signal, which manifests itself as an alignment breaking between the morphology and the polarization, parametrized as eta-g. To this end, we present the mathematical derivation of the theoretical value of eta-g as well as numerical simulations of expected signals in polarized radio jets. We use the radio jet sources 3C9 and 1253+104 as illustrative examples of the measurement and modeling of the eta-g signal. For 3C9, we present constraints on the parameters of the two intervening lenses and quantify their confidence intervals. One lens has no measured redshift and in this case, we show the dependence of mass and mass-to-light ratio on assumed redshift.

description: The amplification of magnetic fields in a highly conducting fluid is studied numerically. During growth, the magnetic field is spatially intermittent: it does not uniformly fill the volume, but is concentrated in long thin folded structures. Contrary to a commonly held view, intermittency of the folded field does not increase indefinitely throughout the growth stage if diffusion is present. Instead, as we show, the probability-density function (PDF) of the field strength becomes self-similar. The normalized moments increase with magnetic Prandtl number in a powerlike fashion. We argue that the self-similarity is to be expected with a finite flow scale and system size. In the nonlinear saturated state, intermittency is reduced and the PDF is exponential. Parallels are noted with self-similar behavior recently observed for passive-scalar mixing and for map dynamos.

description: This article outlines the case for increasing our dependence on solar and wind power to generate electricity. It outlines the economic reasons why governments should provide financial incentives for the increased use and production of electricity from solar and wind power and identifies the policy instruments able to provide these incentives and encourage the development of this green electricity sector. Although wind and solar resources are usually classified as renewable resources, it is argued that classifying them as flow resources is more appropriate. Basic sustainability concerns about the use of alternative energy resources differ. The nature of these different concerns is clarified. Pigovian-type economic analysis is employed to provide an illustration of the superior social economic benefits of using solar and wind power to generate electricity rather than fossil fuels. However, it is also pointed out that there are economic and political constraints on increasing our reliance on solar and wind power to generate electricity. These include the unsatisfactory flow of these resources in some parts of the world, and constraints on economically and sustainably storing the electricity generated by using these resources. However, technological progress is likely to improve the prospects for storing electricity. Given that the demand for electricity can be expected to increase due to technological change and economic growth, it is more important than ever to pay attention to methods of electricity production (such as those utilizing solar and wind power) which are more environmentally friendly and which have superior sustainability qualities compared to the use of fossil fuels. In many parts of the world, greater reliance on solar and wind power will have these beneficial effects and positive social economic benefits.

description: Wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is an infiltrative disease leading to restrictive cardiomyopathy. We aimed to characterise exercise capacity in ATTRwt and to identify predictors of cardiopulmonary fitness, focusing on echocardiographic and clinical parameters. We studied 110 ATTRwt patients from a prospective single-centre registry (2020-2024) by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Besides CPET, all patients underwent comprehensive clinical assessment including follow-up for mortality. In 32 patients follow-up CPET after 1 year was available. In ATTRwt, reduced aerobic capacity (pVO2 16 [13–18] ml/kg/min), and ventilatory inefficiency (VE/VCO2 slope 35 [30–43]) were common. In the multivariable regression analysis, we identified TAPSE/sPAP ratio as predictive for pVO2 (p = 0.019) and ventilatory efficiency (p = 0.004), while left ventricular ejection fraction or measures of left ventricular hypertrophy were not predictive. Concordantly, TAPSE/sPAP ratio assessed at baseline predicted pVO2 at 1-year follow-up (p = 0.009). Furthermore, patients with a TAPSE/sPAP ratio below the median of 0.38 mm/mmHg presented a higher risk of all-cause death (p = 0.009). In ATTRwt the TAPSE/sPAP ratio, a marker of right ventricular coupling, was an independent predictor of aerobic capacity assessed by CPET, at baseline and after 1 year, highlighting the importance of right ventricular assessment for risk stratification.

description: Current state-of-the-art models of the solar convection zone consist of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in rotating, 3D spherical shells. Such models are highly sensitive to the choice of boundary conditions. Here, we present two suites of simulations differing only in their outer thermal boundary condition, which is either one of fixed-entropy or fixed-entropy-gradient. We find that the resulting differential rotation is markedly different between the two sets. The fixed-entropy-gradient simulations have strong differential rotation contrast and isocontours tilted along radial lines (in good agreement with the Sun's interior rotation revealed by helioseismology), whereas the fixed-entropy simulations have weaker contrast and contours tilted in the opposite sense. We examine in detail the force balances in our models and find that the poleward transport of heat by Busse columns drives a thermal wind responsible for the different rotation profiles. We conclude that the Sun's strong differential rotation along radial lines may result from the solar emissivity being invariant with latitude (which is similar to the fixed-entropy-gradient condition in our models) and the poleward transport of heat by Busse columns. In future work on convection in the solar context, we strongly advise modelers to use a fixed-gradient outer boundary condition.

description: We present a class of nonlinear Schroedinger equations (NLSEs) describing, in the mean field approximation, systems of interacting particles. This class of NLSEs is obtained generalizing expediently the approach proposed in Ref. [G.K. Phys. Rev. A 55, 941 (1997)], where a classical system obeying to an exclusion-inclusion principle is quantized using the Nelson stochastic quantization. The new class of NLSEs is obtained starting from the most general nonlinear classical kinetics compatible with a constant diffusion coefficient D=\hbar/2m. Finally, in the case of s-stationary states, we propose a transformation which linearizes the NLSEs here proposed.

description: In this paper we will continue the analysis of two dimensional Schrödinger equation with a fixed, pointwise, nonlinearity started in [2, 13]. In this model, the occurrence of a blow-up phenomenon has two peculiar features: the energy threshold under which all solutions blow up is strictly negative and coincides with the infimum of the energy of the standing waves; there is no critical power nonlinearity, i.e., for every power there exist blow-up solutions. Here we study the stability properties of stationary states to verify whether the anomalies mentioned before have any counterpart on the stability features.

description: Introduction: The head of a ward should conduct coaching and give briefing to the practitioner nurses as well as manage a competence development in nursing documentation, initiation and skill in order to do their duty comprehensibly. In this case, a leader must be able to inform, explain, collaborate and monitor the behavior of the nurses to achieve an ideal situation. The nurse leader should be able to motivate the nurses in charge to perform the best caring which is based on the agreed goal. According to the pre-survey in 2019at Menggala Hospital of Tulang Bawang Regency which is the only type B hospital at the regency, there were 20 patient lists in which 8 patients had incomplete documentation, 2 patients had no physical examination record, 3 patients’ interventions were not recorded completely and 7 patients had incomplete nursing care evaluation. Objective: this study was to identify the correlation between management function of ward head and documentation of nursing care at Menggala Hospital of Tulang Bawang Hospital of Tulang Bawang Regency. Method: this research used quantitative model. The design of this research is analytic where the research tries to investigate how and why a health phenomenon happened. The approach of the study was cross sectional. The population of this study was the whole nurses in charge at Menggala Hospital of Tulang Bawang Regency in 2018 amounting to 164 people. The minimum samples used in this study were 116 respondents. The sampling technique in this research was proportional random sampling. Result: the statistical calculation found that p value 0.00 or p value < 0.05 which indicated there was a correlation between management function of ward head and documentation of nursing care at Menggala Hospital of Tulang Bawang Hospital of Tulang Bawang Regency in 2019. The hospital management should distribute the task to the nurses in line with the functions of each health practitioners in order to make them work based on their functions.

The NMR and ESR investigations revealed the dynamical coexistence of the superconductivity and the antiferromagnetic correlations in the large part of superconductivity region of the phase diagram. We show that for all compounds, independent on their low temperature symmetry and on their superconducting properties, the enhancement of the spin stiffness near 1/8 doping takes place.

description: The origin of the luminosity dependence of the equivalent width (EW) of broad emission lines in AGN (the Baldwin effect) is not firmly established yet. We explore this question for the broad C IV λ1549 line using the Boroson & Green sample of the 87 z < 0.5 Bright Quasar Survey (BQS) quasars. Useful UV spectra of the C IV region are available for 81 of the objects, which are used to explore the dependence of the C IV EW on various emission properties. We confirm earlier results on the strong correlations of the C IV EW with some of the emission parameters which define the Boroson & Green Eigenvector 1, and with the optical to X-ray slope α_ox. In addition, we find a strong correlation of the C IV EW with the relative accretion rate, L/L_Edd. Since L/L_Edd drives some of the Eigenvector 1 correlations, it may be the primary physical parameter which drives the Baldwin effect for C IV.

description: We present a study of C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) using Sloan $gri$ observations from mid-January to early April 2020. During this timespan, the comet brightened with a growth in the effective cross-section of $\left(2.0 \pm 0.1 \right) \times 10^{2}$ m$^{2}$ s$^{-1}$ from the beginning to $\sim$70 d preperihelion in late March 2020, followed by a brightness fade and the comet gradually losing the central condensation. Meanwhile, the comet became progressively bluer, and was even bluer than the Sun ($g - r \approx 0.2$) when the brightness peaked, likely due to activation of subterranean fresh volatiles exposed to sunlight. With the tailward-bias corrected astrometry we found an enormous radial nongravitational parameter, $A_{1} = \left(+2.25 \pm 0.13\right) \times 10^{-7}$ au d$^{-2}$ in the heliocentric motion of the comet. Taking all of these finds into consideration, we conclude that the comet has disintegrated since mid-March 2020. By no means was the split new to the comet, as we quantified that the comet had undergone another split event around last perihelion $\sim$5 kyr ago, during which its sibling C/1844 Y1 (Great Comet) was produced, with the in-plane component of the separation velocity $\gtrsim$1 m s$^{-1}$. We constrained that the nucleus of C/2019 Y4 before disintegration was $\gtrsim$60 m in radius, and has been protractedly ejecting dust grains of $\sim$10-40 $μ$m (assuming dust bulk density 0.5 g cm$^{-3}$) with ejection speed $\sim$30 m s$^{-1}$ in early March 2020 and increased to $\sim$80 m s$^{-1}$ towards the end of the month for grains of $\sim$10 $μ$m.

description: The State of Alaska is currently experiencing a surge in economic activity as a result of the development of its petroleum resources. Virtually all durable and nondurable goods must be shipped into the state because of its lack of industrial and agricultural production. Washington is in a position to be the marketing and transportation center for Alaska trade because it is geographically closest to Alaska and has the required dock facilities storage and connections with the transportation network of the contagious states. Owing to the possibility for increased growth in the Alaskan economy and subsequent impact on Washington-Alaska trade, a regional study has been initiated by the University of Alaska and Washington State University to examine this trade during the Oil induced boom.

description: AA amyloidosis is a prototypic example of systemic amyloidosis: it results from the prolonged overproduction of SAA protein produced in response to chronic inflammation. AA amyloidosis primarily affects the kidneys, liver, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, leading to a variety of symptoms. First, this review examines AA amyloidosis in humans, focusing on pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and diagnosis and then in animals. In fact AA amyloidosis is the only systemic amyloidosis that has been largely documented in a remarkable number of vertebrate species: mammals, birds, and fishes, especially in individuals with comorbidities, chronic stress, or held in captivity. Secondly, here, we summarise independent sets of evidence obtained on different animal species, exploring the possible transmissibility of AA amyloidosis especially in crowded or confined populations. Finally, biochemical and structural data on native SAA and on AA amyloid fibrils from human, murine, and cat ex vivo samples are discussed. The available structural data depict a complex scenario, where SAA can misfold forming highly different amyloid assemblies. This review highlights the complexity of AA amyloidosis, emphasising the need for further research into its spread in the animal kingdom, its structural aspects, and pathogenetic mechanisms to evaluate its impact on human and animal health.

description: Les personnes présentant une déficience intellectuelle (DI) ont de faibles compétences en littératie qui peuvent être des obstacles à l’accès à l’information. Il peut en résulter une réduction de leur participation sociale et citoyenne. Les organisations et les services doivent donc s’interroger sur les meilleures façons de rendre l’information accessible à ce groupe cible. L’article présente les résultats d’une recherche-action qui a permis d’expérimenter une démarche de rédaction inclusive. Des intervenants de quatre organisations ont été jumelés à des personnes présentant une DI. Ensemble, ils ont coconstruit du matériel informationnel dans le but de le rendre plus signifiant et compréhensible. Il en ressort que les personnes présentant une DI aiment participer et contribuer à des démarches qui les concernent. Leur participation augmente avec les rencontres. Elle est modulée notamment par leurs expériences antérieures de prise de parole ainsi que par le soutien d’une personne qui les accompagne.

description: In this report we review recent progress achieved in the understanding of heavy quarkonium under extreme conditions from a theory perspective. Its focus lies both on quarkonium properties in thermal equilibrium, as well as recent developments towards a genuine real-time description, valid also out-of-equilibrium. We will give an overview of the theory tools developed and deployed over the last decade, including effective field theories, lattice field theory simulations, modern methods for spectral reconstructions and the the open-quantum systems paradigm. The report will discuss in detail the concept of quarkonium melting, providing the reader with a contemporary perspective. In order to judge where future progress is needed we will also discuss recent results from experiments and phenomenological modeling of quarkonium in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

The Discount Rate: A Review of Opposing Viewpoint

description: The discount rate as an imposed or calculated rate of future returns to capital investment is a critical factor in the economic evaluation of proposed as well as private investment projects. For example, a government project that promises substantial net benefits when evaluated at a rate of 5 percent may well appear wasteful if the rate is even marginally greater, say 5 1/8 percent. At stake in determining the appropriate discount rate is the efficient allocation of resources between private and public sectors of the economy. The discount rate suggests which projects should be undertaken, and thus the proportion of the economy's activity that should be undertaken, by public agencies as opposed to the proportion that should remain in the private sector. So it is vital to understand what determines an 'appropriate' discount rate.

description: We present a single-pass source of broadband multimode squeezed light with potential application in quantum information and quantum metrology. The source is based on a type I parametric down-conversion (PDC) process inside a bulk nonlinear crystal in a non-collinear configuration. The generated squeezed light exhibits a spatiotemporal multimode behavior that is probed using a homodyne measurement with a local oscillator shaped both spatially and temporally. Finally we follow a covariance matrix based approach to reveal the distribution of the squeezing among several independent temporal and spatial modes. This unambiguously validates the multimode feature of our source.

Review

description: The aims of this study were to review and compare recommendations from recently published guidelines on atrial fibrillation, acute coronary syndrome and heart failure. Three national guidelines focused on the pharmacological treatment are presented through a descriptive review. The guidelines are from the European Society of Cardiology , American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. These guidelines were summarized and compared. The similarities on the pharmacological treatment of these diseases are many and this is due to the high level of evidence based on the large RCTs on global level. Summarized guidelines can have an impact on management of these patients and may have better outcomes.

description: Cardiac AL and ATTR are potentially fatal cardiomyopathies. Current therapies do not address mechanisms of tissue dysfunction because these remain unknown. Our prior work focused on the amyloid plaque proteome, which may not capture tissue-wide proteomic alterations. To evaluate mechanisms of tissue dysfunction in cardiac AL and ATTR using a full biopsy tissue proteomics approach. We performed proteomics analysis on 76 ATTR and 27 AL diagnostic endomyocardial biopsies. Stage-3 AL patients exhibited increased coagulation, extracellular matrix remodelling (ECM), epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), complement activation, hypoxia, and clathrin-mediated endocytosis pathways vs. stages-1/2, with decreased healthy cardiac metabolism. In stages-2 and 3 ATTR, immunoglobulin proteins, complement, and keratinisation pathways were increased compared to stage-1. Unsupervised analyses identified an ATTR group with worse survival characterised by upregulated complement and downregulated metabolic pathways. Compared to ATTR, AL had higher clathrin-mediated endocytosis, mRNA splicing, and ribosomal proteins, while ATTR had higher complement levels. This study identifies known processes dysregulated in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction as well as novel pathways responsible for tissue damage. Our results support an immune-mediated mechanism of tissue toxicity in cardiac amyloidosis, especially among patients with worse outcomes.

description: We consider stability of an elastic membrane being on the bottom of a uniform horizontal flow of an inviscid and incompressible fluid of finite depth with free surface. The membrane is simply supported at the leading and the trailing edges which attach it to the two parts of the horizontal rigid floor. The membrane has an infinite span in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the flow and a finite length in the direction of the flow. For the membrane of infinite length we derive a full dispersion relation that is valid for arbitrary depth of the fluid layer and find conditions for the flutter of the membrane due to emission of surface gravity waves. We describe this radiation-induced instability by means of the perturbation theory of the roots of the dispersion relation and the concept of negative energy waves and discuss its relation to the anomalous Doppler effect.

Current Efforts at Estimation of Costs-of-Production in the Economic Research Service

Subjects: Production Economics

description: The topic for this session indicates that we are dealing with the matter of "issues in setting effective target prices". From examining the titles of the various papers .to be presented, one would get the impression that the cost-of-production is important in setting target prices. This raises several questions that I would like to address. First, "Is cost-of-production a good basis for setting target prices?"; secondly, "If it is considered appropriate that they be used to set target prices, then what costs should be covered by target prices?"; and finally, "How should these production costs be estimated?".
