description: Thermodynamic stability of the hexagonal delta phase has been discussed for the U-50 wt% Zr alloy composition based on the XRD, FESEM, and EDS results, further corroborated by the ab-initio calculations. It has been shown that U-50 wt% Zr composition falls into a two-phase region in the U–Zr phase diagram at about 573 K, in contradiction to the published phase diagram. Crystallographic structure of the delta phase in terms of the atomic occupation has been elucidated using the near-neighbour analysis obtained from the EXAFS results. It is shown here that the (111) plane collapse mechanism of the parent bcc phase is not complete in the delta phase even after the sample was aged for 864 ks (240 h) at 573 K.

description: Irradiation of a para-hydrogen (p-H2) matrix containing diiodomethane (CH2I2) and O2 at 3.2 K with light at 280 ± 20 nm, followed by annealing of the matrix at 4.0 K, yielded infrared (IR) absorption lines at 2982.4, 1408.9, 1231.8, 1226.5/1225.6, 1085.6, 917.7, 841.6/841.1, 550.5, and 490.2 cm−1 that are assigned to the syn-iodomethylperoxy (syn-ICH2OO) radical. Further irradiation of the matrix at 365 nm diminished these features. Experiments with CH2I2 and 18O2 yielded lines of syn-ICH218O18O at 1407.3, 1228.1/1227.7, 1217.7/1217.0, 1031.5, 899.9/899.4, 836.7/836.0, and 473.6 cm−1. The assignments are based on the photolytic behaviour and comparisons of observed vibrational wavenumbers, IR intensities, and 18O-isotopic shifts with those predicted with the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ-pp method. The observation is consistent with a mechanism that, upon photolysis of CH2I2 at 280 nm, CH2I was formed and subsequently reacted with O2 to yield syn-ICH2OO. Compared with the gaseous reaction CH2I + O2 → CH2OO + I at low pressure, observation of ICH2OO in a p-H2 matrix instead of CH2OO in the gaseous phase indicates that the excess energy of internally excited ICH2OO, produced upon reaction of CH2I + O2, was rapidly quenched in the matrix so that ICH2OO became readily stabilised without further decomposition to form CH2OO + I.

description: New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) has been identified as a potential target for the treatment of multi-drug resistance (MDR) bacterial infections. We used molecular docking, normal MD, SIE, QM/MM MD simulations, QM/MM GBSA binding free energy and QM/MM GBSA alanine-scanning mutagenesis techniques to investigate interactions of the NDM-1 with 11 inhibitors (Tigecycline, BAL30072, D-captopril, Penicillin G, Ampicillin, Carbenicillin, Cephalexin, Cefaclor, Nitrocefin, Meropenem, and Imipenem). From our normal MD and QM/MM simulations, the correlation coefficients between the predicted binding free energies and experimental values are 0.88 and 0.93, respectively. Then simulations, which combined QMMM/GBSA and alanine-scanning mutagenesis techniques, were performed and our results show that two residues (Lys211 and His250) have the strongest impact on the binding affinities of the 11 NDM-1/inhibitors. Therefore, our approach theoretically suggests that the two residues (Lys211 and His250) are responsible for the selectivity of NDM-1 associated inhibitors.

description: Accurate spatio-temporal prediction is essential for capturing city dynamics and planning mobility services. State-of-the-art deep spatio-temporal predictive models depend on rich and representative training data for target regions and tasks. However, the availability of such data is typically limited. Furthermore, existing predictive models fail to utilize cross-correlations across tasks and cities. In this paper, we propose MetaCitta, a novel deep meta-learning approach that addresses the critical challenges of data scarcity and model generalization. MetaCitta adopts the data from different cities and tasks in a generalizable spatio-temporal deep neural network. We propose a novel meta-learning algorithm that minimizes the discrepancy between spatio-temporal representations across tasks and cities. Our experiments with real-world data demonstrate that the proposed MetaCitta approach outperforms state-of-the-art prediction methods for zero-shot learning and pre-training plus fine-tuning. Furthermore, MetaCitta is computationally more efficient than the existing meta-learning approaches.

description: Since 1969 Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data have been collected by different observatories and analysed by various analysis groups. LLR is providing the longest time series of any space geodetic technique for studying the Earth-Moon dynamics. In recent years, observations have been carried out with larger telescopes and at infra-red (IR) wavelength, resulting in a better distribution of precise LLR data over the lunar orbit and the observed retro-reflectors on the Moon. The increased number of high-accuracy observations allows for more accurate determination of Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) from LLR data compared to previous years. In this study we focus on ΔUT1 results from different constellations and compare our LLR solution to the IERS EOP C04 series.

description: A 105 day investigation was conducted to measure the impacts of stocking densities at different ratios of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio)on their growth and rice yields in rice-fish farming systems. The experiment was conducted by randomized complete block design with three replications. The plot size was 6×3 m, 50 cm height with ditch (3×1 m) for fish. Mean initial weight of O. niloticus was 12.2±1.92 g using three different fish stocking densities (4, 6 and 8 fish m-2) in five different ratios (1:1, 1:0, 0:1, 1:2, 2:1) of O. niloticus and C. carpio. At the end of the investigation specific growth rate, total length (cm), final weight (g), and survival rate (%) for fish were estimated. Plant height and tiller number were also calculated. The study showed that fish growth performance, fish survival rate, plant height, number of tiller, and abundance of plankton were significantly affected by culture system (p<0.05). The final weight was higher in 4 fish m-2 , followed by 6 fish m-2 while the 8 fish m-2 treatment recorded the lowest growth performance. The survival showed the same trend, the highest survival rate was found in C. carpio-O. niloticus ratio of 1:1 (66.67±9.31%) with 6 fish m-2 followed by 4 fish m-2 then by 8 fish m-2 55.36 ±6.11%, and 49.78±4.17% respectively. The highest rice yield, were found in 6 fish m-2 (5.43) that was significantly (p<0.05) higher than in 4 fish m-2 and 8 fish m-2 treatment. The present study revealed that the suitable stocking density was 6 m-2 with 1:1 for C. carpio and O. niloticus for better growth, survival and maximum rice production.

description: GNSS frequency transfer (FT) based on precise point positioning delivers instability values down to sub-10−16 between two modern receivers. In the present study we investigate the technical limits such receivers impose on FT by means of a dedicated experiment at Germany’s national metrology institute (PTB). For this purpose, four geodetic receivers, two of the same type each, were all connected to one single antenna and fed by the highly stable UTC (PTB) frequency signal. Since all error sources affecting the satellite signals are the same for all receivers, they cancel out when forming receiver-to-receiver single differences (SDs). Due to the fact that the remaining SD carrier phase ambiguities can be easily fixed to integer values, only the relative receiver clock error remains in the SDs. We assess the instability of three different receiver combinations, two with the same receiver type (intra-receiver) and one with different types (inter-receiver). The intra-receiver pairs reach lower instability values faster than the inter-receiver combination, which is in part caused by the different signal tracking modes of the receivers. To be specific, the 10−18 instability range was only reached by the intra-receiver pairs, whereas the inter-receiver combination already hits its noise floor at about 1.5 ⋅ 10−17. In addition, our analysis of using different observation type combinations only shows small differences regarding the link instability.

description: Multipath in urban environments still represents a great challenge for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning as it is a degrading factor which limits the attainable accuracy, precision and integrity. In an urban trench, the dense building structures in the vicinity of the antenna cause reflections of the satellite signals resulting in multipath errors. Various work has been presented for simulating reflections for stations under laboratory conditions, yet the simulative analysis of multipath propagation in urban environments is currently developing. In this contribution, we enhanced an existing Ray-Tracing algorithm which identifies potentially multipath affected satellite signals. So far, it calculates reflection points on a plane ground and estimates the resulting multipath error. We extended it for the urban area case by introducing a 3D city building model with possible reflections on all surfaces of the buildings. Based on the geometry between the antenna position, satellite position and the reflection surface, the extra path delays, the characteristics of the propagation channel and the signal amplitudes are calculated. The resulting multipath errors are then estimated from the discriminator function using state of the art correlator parameters and antenna models. For a validation, the simulation results are compared with code-minus-carrier combination from a real GNSS experiment in a dense urban area in Hannover. We find that the simulated multipath errors fit the observations in terms of the amplitude, but with uncertainties in the building model, the multipath wave length is too large. The distance to the reflection surface is a key factor which influences the multipath wavelength.

description: Group work is a prevalent activity in educational settings, where students are often divided into topic-specific groups based on their preferences. The grouping should reflect students’ aspirations as much as possible. Usually, the resulting groups should also be balanced in terms of protected attributes like gender, as studies suggest that students may learn better in mixed-gender groups. Moreover, to allow a fair workload across the groups, the cardinalities of the different groups should be balanced. In this paper, we introduce a multi-fair capacitated (MFC) grouping problem that fairly partitions students into non-overlapping groups while ensuring balanced group cardinalities (with a lower and an upper bound), and maximizing the diversity of members regarding the protected attribute. To obtain the MFC grouping, we propose three approaches: a greedy heuristic approach, a knapsack-based approach using vanilla maximal knapsack formulation, and an MFC knapsack approach based on group fairness knapsack formulation. Experimental results on a real dataset and a semi-synthetic dataset show that our proposed methods can satisfy students’ preferences and deliver balanced and diverse groups regarding cardinality and the protected attribute, respectively.

description: The Island of Borneo harbors a high species richness of freshwater brachyurans, many of which are endemic in the region and their existence is threatened by anthropogenic activities. Our knowledge on the fundamental aspects which are required for species conservation assessment is currently limited. For instance, information on fecundity of most Bornean freshwater crabs is almost non-existent despite this being an important predictor of vulnerability to extinction. This paper describes the fecundity and egg size of the giant freshwater crab (Isolapotamon bauense Ng, 1987) from Kuching Division in Sarawak, Borneo. The fecundity of the crab is between 26 and 81 eggs, with the egg diameter ranging between 3.7-4.2 mm. The macrolecithal eggs are attached to the pleopods of the female abdominal brood pouch; they are bright orange and are comprised of two layers of membrane, with a thicker outer layer and a thinner inner layer, encapsulating the large embryonic yolk sac.

description: Spatio-temporal traffic patterns reflecting the mobility behavior of road users are essential for learning effective general-purpose road representations. Such patterns are largely neglected in state-of-the-art road representation learning, mainly focusing on modeling road topology and static road features. Incorporating traffic patterns into road network representation learning is particularly challenging due to the complex relationship between road network structure and mobility behavior of road users. In this paper, we present TrajRNE – a novel trajectory-based road embedding model incorporating vehicle trajectory information into road network representation learning. Our experiments on two real-world datasets demonstrate that TrajRNE outperforms state-of-the-art road representation learning baselines on various downstream tasks.

description: In Europe, especially in Eastern Europe, geographic research in criminology deals mainly with data analysis and accompanying cartographic communication through the visualisation of crime maps is less developed. Therefore, there is still a dearth of crime maps that could potentially not only show the facts, but also portray the criminal landscape of the city and tell the reader a story in a way that stimulates thinking, and motivates deeper analysis and spatial reasoning. This set of maps, which were designed by the authors, represent specific characteristics, density and temporal distribution of crimes in the city of Vilnius in 2014. It also shows changes in the crime rate from 2012 to 2014. The maps represent generalised data that was derived from detailed tabular data on reported criminal activities in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The primary map reveals some primary factors that allow understanding of spatio-temporal patterns of crimes in modern Vilnius: prevalent crime types with specific territorial and temporal distribution (crimes of violence, property crimes, and distribution/possession of drugs); changes in distribution over the examined period of 3 recent years; overall crime rate and detailed structure of 9 types of crimes, the rate of burglaries and seasonality of violent crimes for all the 21 administrative districts of the city. Original cartographic signs have been designed for the depiction of 11 characteristics. The maps are supplemented by 3D visualisations and a chart that shows changes in the overall crime rate and juvenile crime numbers in the decade from 2004 to 2014. The reference scale is 1:100,000 for the Main map and 1:300,000 for complementary maps.

description: There is an urgent need to stop the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic through the development of efficient and safe vaccination methods. Over the short term, plasmid DNA vaccines can be developed as they are molecularly stable, thus facilitating easy transport and storage. pVAX1-SARS-CoV2-co was designed for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) S protein. The antibodies produced led to immunoreactions against the S protein, an anti-receptor-binding-domain, and a neutralizing action of the pVAX1-SARS-CoV2-co, as previously confirmed. To promote the efficacy of the pVAX1-SARS-CoV2-co vaccine a pyro-drive jet injector (PJI) was used. An intradermally adjusted PJI demonstrated that the pVAX1-SARS-CoV2-co vaccine injection caused a high production of anti-S protein antibodies, triggered immunoreactions, and neutralized the actions against SARS-CoV-2. A high-dose pVAX1-SARS-CoV2-co intradermal injection using PJI did not cause any serious disorders in the rat model. A viral challenge confirmed that intradermally immunized mice were potently protected from COVID-19. A pVAX1-SARS-CoV2-co intradermal injection using PJI is a safe and promising vaccination method for overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: Four annual crops were used for the following 5 strip intercrop treatments over 2 years: (1) barley- field peas-oat,
(2) barley-field peas-canola, (3) barley-canola-oat, (4) barley-canola, and (5) oats-canola. The crops within each
strip intercrop treatment were seeded side be sided. Forage harvest for dry matter (DM) and nutritive value was
done across the crops within each treatment. Also, the four crops used (barley, canola, field peas and oat) were
examined for their individual DM and forage nutritive value. The forage DM was not different among strip
intercrop treatments as well as among individual crops. Forage DM was generally higher in 2011 than 2010, with
a difference of 2494 kg ha-1 between the two years for strip intercrops and 3190 kg ha-1 for individual crops. The
forage crude protein (CP) and CP fractions, and CP yield (CPY) were not significantly different among strip
intercrop treatments. For individual crops, forage CP and only two of the CP fractions showed significant
differences among individual crops. The two cereals used (oat and barley) consistently showed lower CP, acid
detergent insoluble nitrogen (ADICP) and digestible crude protein (DCP) values than field peas and canola for the
individual crops. Inclusion of canola in some of the strip-intercrops seemed to have some positive effects on
forage calcium (Ca) content compared to when canola was not included. Peas on its own had the highest Ca
content of all the individual crops, but did not have any significant effect when it was present in the crop
combinations.

description: The present study was conducted to identify low cost feed for female mud crab (Scylla olivacea) fattening practice in plastic box and the effect of different feeds on growth and survival rate of mud crab. A number of 30 adult non-gravid female crabs were reared into rectangular shaped plastic boxes, each box containing one crab. Three types of feed such as Chicken intestine, Tilapia and Apple Snail meat were supplied as feed at 10% of body weight of the crabs once daily considered as Treatment-1, Treatment-2 and Treatment-3 respectively with 10 replications each to compare the fattening system.. The crabs in plastic boxes were floating into water to fatten for 10 days. Survival rate of crab was found 100%, 90% and 100% respectively in chicken intestine, tilapia and apple snail meat. In the experiment food conversion ratio (FCR) and specific growth rate in weight (SGRw) were varied significantly among different foods (P >0.05). Comparative benefit-cost analysis showed that use of chicken intestine as feed in crab fattening attained higher net profit than crab fattening used tilapia and apple snail s feed from 7-12 days fattening period The present study revealed that utilization of chicken intestine as feed for mud crab fattening might be better than any other feeds and cost effective in Bangladesh.

Virtual research and development (R&D) teams in SMEs can offer a solution to speed up time-to-market of new product development (NPD). However, factors that affect the effectiveness of virtual teams for NPD are still not adequately verified. This book presents the correlations between virtual R&D team constructs and virtual team effectiveness by developing a “Virtual Research and Development Team” (ViR&DT) model. The items, which may influence the effectiveness of virtual teams, are taken from the literature. Through an online survey and by application of structural equation modeling (SEM) technique, the proposed model (ViR&DT) has been tested. The results suggest that the process construct is strongly correlated to the effectiveness of virtual teams. Therefore, NPD managers in virtual R&D teams should concentrate on the process of new product development rather than simply equipping the teams with the latest technology or employing highly qualified experts. Further empirical research is recommended to fully explore and appreciate the breadth of application of the ViR&DT model. This paper is a part of my PhD journey.

description: This thesis examines the impact of human capacity and infrastructure upon the provision of general surgery in rural Australia. A qualitative study was undertaken that identified four new themes which summarised how human capacity and infrastructure interact to limit rural surgical provision. These four themes examined the impact of small hospital syndrome, the rural general surgeon identity, the service providers and the need for a social responsibility for surgery within rural Australia.

description: The ERS report Agricultural Resource and Environment Indicators, 2019 provides a comprehensive source of data and analysis on the factors that affect resource use and quality in American agriculture. These factors include the biophysical characteristics of the farm and landscape, policy options and incentives for conservation, and availability of technology and other inputs. For example, USDA conservation programs provide nearly $6 billion annually for financial and technical assistance to support the adoption of conservation practices on U.S. farms. One such program, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), focuses its funding on five conservation practices—cover crops, conservation tillage/residue management, conservation crop rotation, terraces and nutrient management.

description: Apoptosis, repair and senescence are tools which an organism can use in a risk management process that balances the threats posed by damaged, existing cells against the difficulty and cost of replacing them. If they are orchestrated effectively the organism can gain a degree of risk reduction, appropriate for a particular tissue and time of life, at minimum cost. Where abundant resources allow, apoptosis eliminates risks posed by damaged, high-entropy cells. Where resources are constrained, senescence trades immediate threats posed by damaged cells for longer-term risks including inflammation, metastasis and epigenetic instability. Pushing risks into the future is consistent with an evolutionary need to keep an organism adequately healthy, for sufficiently long, that it can raise healthy offspring. Pathways which link damage and resources to p53 isoforms, and hence to responses, may be controlled by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). SiRNAs might in general select from a range of damage responses which offer varying compromises between risk and cost. Epigenetic factors allow expression of p53 isoforms, and thus risk management policies, to be tailored to particular cell types An organism which has reserves of, e.g., stem cells and telomeres, can manufacture pristine, low-entropy cells to replace damaged, higher-entropy cells eliminated by apoptosis. This mechanism will minimise cellular entropy, and retain cellular information, until the reserves are exhausted. Plentiful initial resources, and careful management of those resources, can delay but not eliminate the increase in cellular entropy and reduction in information as an organism ages. Increased risk, increased entropy and reduced information are closely related features of the aging process. Cellular entropy might act as a measure of ‘risk’ in the discussion presented here while the energy invested to reduce cellular entropy acts as a measure of ‘cost’.

description: Changes in temperature and precipitation can impact both crop and livestock production. ERS researchers modeled a future climate change scenario with an average temperature increase of 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) and a 1-inch decrease in average annual precipitation. Results show that some States would experience larger effects on agricultural productivity than others because for some States those climate changes fall within the range of what is historically observed, while for other States they do not.

description: The composition of sperm proteins influences the fertilizing ability of sperm and hence the present study was conducted (i) to profile sperm proteins expression patterns in bulls of differing fertility index and (ii) to identify and relate the abundant sperm proteins with bull fertility. The semen samples were collected from Holstein-Friesian bulls (n = 12) varying in conception rate (CR) (high/low). The frozen semen straws (three ejaculates, from each bull) were used to study (a) sperm kinetic parameters, (b) plasmalemma integrity, (c) mitochondrial membrane potential, and (d) chromatin distribution. Three bulls were randomly selected from each group (n = 3) and the neat sperm pellets were subjected to percoll purification, followed by protein isolation using 0.1% Triton X100. The sperm kinetic parameters, plasmalemma integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential, and the chromatin distribution did not differ significantly between groups. The number of acidic (pI; 3.1–5.6, 37%) and basic (pI; 7.9–10.0, 27%) proteins and their pattern of expression varied significantly (p p

description: Cyber-physical systems have recently been used in several areas (such as connected and autonomous vehicles) due to their high maneuverability. On the other hand, they are susceptible to cyber-attacks. Radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting emerges as a promising approach. This work aims to analyze the impact of decoupling tapped delay line and clustered delay line (TDL+CDL) augmentation-driven deep learning (DL) on transmitter-specific fingerprints to discriminate malicious users from legitimate ones. This work also considers 5G-only-CDL, WiFi-only-TDL augmentation approaches. RF fingerprinting models are sensitive to changing channels and environmental conditions. For this reason, they should be considered during the deployment of a DL model. Data acquisition can be another option. Nonetheless, gathering samples under various conditions for a train set formation may be quite hard. Consequently, data acquisition may not be feasible. This work uses a dataset that includes 5G, 4G, and WiFi samples, and it empowers a CDL+TDL-based augmentation technique in order to boost the learning performance of the DL model. Numerical results show that CDL+TDL, 5G-only-CDL, and WiFi-only-TDL augmentation approaches achieve 87.59%, 81.63%, 79.21% accuracy on unobserved data while TDL/CDL augmentation technique and no augmentation approach result in 77.81% and 74.84% accuracy on unobserved data, respectively.

description: This article proposes new model checks for dynamic count models. Both portmanteau and omnibus-type tests for lack of residual autocorrelation are considered. The resulting test statistics are asymptotically pivotal when innovations are uncorrelated but possibly exhibit higher order serial dependence. Moreover, the tests are able to detect local alternatives converging to the null at the parametric rate T− 1/2, with T the sample size. The finite sample performance of the test statistics are examined by means of Monte Carlo experiments. Using a dataset on U.S. corporate bankruptcies, the proposed tests are applied to check if different risk models are correctly specified. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: We consider a quantum junction described by a 1+1-dimensional boundary conformal field theory (BCFT). Our analysis focuses on correlations emerging at finite temperature, achieved through the computation of entanglement measures. Our approach relies on characterizing correlation functions of twist fields using BCFT techniques. We provide non-perturbative predictions for the crossover between low and high temperatures. An intriguing interplay between bulk and boundary effects, associated with the bulk/boundary scaling dimensions of the fields above, is found. In particular, the entanglement entropy is primarily influenced by bulk thermal fluctuations, exhibiting extensiveness for large system sizes with a prefactor independent of the scattering properties of the defect. In contrast, negativity is governed by fluctuations across the entangling points only, adhering to an area law; its value depends non-trivially on the defect, and it diverges logarithmically as the temperature is decreased. To validate our predictions, we numerically check them for free fermions on the lattice, finding good agreement.
