description: The gas temperature in the cores of many clusters of galaxies drops inward by about a factor of three or more within the central 100kpc radius. The radiative cooling time drops over the same region from 5 or more Gyr down to about 10^8 yr. Although it would seem that cooling has taken place, XMM and Chandra spectra show no evidence for strong mass cooling rates of gas below 1-2 keV. Chandra images show holes coincident with radio lobes and cold fronts indicating that the core regions are complex. The observational situation is reviewed here and ways in which continued cooling may be hidden are discussed, togther with the implications for any heat source which balances radiative cooling.

description: Crop yield distribution estimation has long been a major focus of agricultural policy, insurance, and risk management research. Yet, explicit incorporation of variety or genetic data in the estimation of yield distributions remains elusive in large scale contexts, both within agricultural economics as well as the broader crop sciences. The purpose of this study is to investigate methods for integrating crop variety data into crop yield distribution models. Through a unique data collection effort, we have assembled a large scale dataset of yield, weather, soil type, and varietal data for planted acreage for the last four and a half decades for the U.S. rice market. This dataset represents virtually all rice grown in the southern U.S. since 1970 (approximately 125 million acres). This research is the first to our knowledge that attempts to model the relationships between varieties, yield, soil, and weather using such large scale market data. Significant variation was found among crop variety performance, and on average varieties have improved through time as it regards yield impacts. We find that about half of all technology gains in the U.S. rice market can be explained by the introduction of, and shifting towards, new rice varieties and adaptation related to adoption of better performing varieties, suggesting that the market actively adapts. This is perhaps not surprising given the investments in these markets, the rational actions of economic agents in choosing varieties, as well as advancements in breeding programs.

description: Development of acoustic and optoacoustic on-chip technologies calls for new solutions to guiding, storing and interfacing acoustic and optical waves in integrated silicon-on-insulator (SOI) systems. One of the biggest challenges in this field is to suppress the radiative dissipation of the propagating acoustic waves, while co-localizing the optical and acoustic fields in the same region of an integrated waveguide. Here we address this problem by introducing Anti-Resonant Reflecting Acoustic Waveguides (ARRAWs) -- mechanical analogues of the Anti-Resonant Reflecting Optical Waveguides (ARROWs). We discuss the principles of anti-resonant guidance and establish guidelines for designing efficient ARRAWs. Finally, we demonstrate examples of the simplest silicon/silica ARRAW platforms that can simultaneously serve as near-IR optical waveguides, and support strong backward Brillouin scattering.

description: We present a new holographic concept, named six-pack holography (6PH), in which we compress six off-axis holograms into a single multiplexed off-axis hologram without loss of magnification or resolution. The multiplexed hologram contains straight off-axis fringes with six different orientations, and can be generated optically or digitally. We show that since the six different complex wavefronts do not overlap in the spatial frequency domain, they can be fully reconstructed. 6PH allows more than 50% improvement in the spatial bandwidth consumption when compared to the best multiplexing method proposed so far. We expect the 6PH concept to be useful for a variety of applications, such as field-of-view multiplexing, wavelength multiplexing, temporal multiplexing, multiplexing for super-resolution imaging, and others.

description: The Adaptive Optics (AO) system of the 10-m class Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) has completed the acceptance tests in the laboratory of the Instituto de AstrofAsica de Canarias (IAC), and has verified the procedures for the integration in GTC at Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory (ORM), together with critical optics maintenance previous to the shipment. The GTCAO system is based on a single deformable mirror (DM) with 373 actuators, conjugated to the telescope pupil, and a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (WFS) with 312 subapertures, using an OCAM2 camera. The performance required is 65% Strehl Ratio in K-band under average atmospheric conditions and bright NGS. The instrument will be shipped to the ORM in June, to be installed on the Nasmyth platform B of GTC, to be aligned with the telescope, to be integrated with the telescope control system and to start the technical commissioning. When in operation, the AO system will work as a focal station of the telescope, in charge of providing the commands to M2 for fast guiding and tip tilt correction, and offloading global low order modes to M1 and its segments using the WFS telemetry. Testing these functionalities is part of the initial technical commissioning on telescope. In this paper we focus in the final results of the laboratory acceptance, the integration in telescope and the commissioning plans to get the system ready for science.

description: Norm-compatible families of cohomology classes for Shimura varieties, and other arithmetic symmetric spaces, play an important role in Iwasawa theory of automorphic forms. The aim of this note is to give a systematic approach to proving "vertical" norm-compatibility relations for such classes (where the level varies at a fixed prime p), treating the case of Betti and étale cohomology at once, and revealing an unexpected relation to the theory of spherical varieties. This machinery can be used to construct many new examples of norm-compatible families, potentially giving rise to new constructions of both Euler systems and p-adic L-functions: examples include families of algebraic cycles on Shimura varieties for U(n) x U(n+1) and U(2n) over the p-adic anticyclotomic tower.

description: This paper provides insight into barriers to participation in welfare programs for a valuable subset of our population— agricultural laborers. To do this, we provide an overview of California agricultural labor participation in social welfare programs. Based on the program eligibility criteria, we identify three potential barriers to program access: (1) legal status, (2) seasonality of employment, and (3) physical access to county enrollment offices. We then use the program eligibility criteria and benefit calculations to establish benefit kinks for a well-used aid program: the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, known as CalFresh in California). Then, using the NAWS dataset, we present a comparison of families who report using CalFresh with those who do not, examine bunching around the income thresholds, and construct a measure of real income that includes program benefits.

description: Studies show that microorganisms resistant to numerous antibiotics spread infections, lengthen hospital stays, and increase fatalities. Amplification factors increase the demand for innovative drug-resistant disease-fighting chemicals. This research synthesised the chiral L-phenyl alanine condensed with a 2, 4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde Schiff base for biological efficacy investigations such as antimicrobial, antidiabetic, DPPH free radical, MTT assay against HeLa cells and hemolysis studies after the characterization. Derived Schiff base showed good inhibition against K. pneumoniae (G-ve), Staphylococcus aureus (G + ve), and Candida albicans (Fungus) at a 50 μg/mL concentration. Minimum inhibitory concentration report exists in between 35 ppm and 45 ppm. It also exhibited IC50 concentrations between 138 and 265 μg/mL in the remaining biological studies. This study uses molecular docking with the help of mcule, the CLC drug discovery work bench and visual studio applications to justify the derived compound biological activity and used work related proteins such as 1HSK, 1XCW, 3K0K, 3FDN and 3GEY for docking study. The compound showed a good binding affinity score against the targets with negative values. This study covers drug-likeness using Spartan-14 HOMO-LUMO energy levels and Swiss ADME to determine the molecular properties of the chemical structure. Theoretical outcomes are compared with commercial drugs and observed nearby results. Both theoretical outcomes supported the experimental biological activities and were good coincidence.

description: Sustainable Development Goal 2 is hinged on achieving zero hunger target globally, by the year 2030. Many developing countries, especially African countries, are faced with extreme hunger often caused or compounded by bad governance, conflicts and climate change. In this paper, we assess Africa’s readiness towards attaining the zero hunger target by 2030 by comparing patterns of Global Hunger Index (GHI) scores and each of its indicators across Africa in 2000-2018 and proffer solutions that can help actualise the SDG 2 target by 2030. Most African countries have made significant and consistent progress in the reduction of child mortality rates from 2000 to 2018 but it was found that most African countries (except North Africans) have high prevalence of undernourishment, stunting and child wasting indicating that they are not making significant progress towards achieving zero hunger target. The study recommends that, in order to actualise the zero hunger target, each country should focus on making significant progress as regards the GHI scores and its indicators. Furthermore, African governments should give priority to fighting factors aggravating hunger in their societies including corruption, armed conflicts and extreme poverty.

description: We report on recent theory progress in understanding the production of heavy quarkonium in heavy-ion collisions based on the in-medium heavy-quark potential extracted from lattice QCD simulations. On the one hand, the proper in-medium potential allows us to study the spectral properties of heavy quarkonium in thermal equilibrium, from which we estimate the $ψ^\prime$ to $J/ψ$ ratio in heavy-ion collisions. On the other hand, the potential provides a central ingredient in the description of the real-time evolution of heavy-quarkonium formulated in the open-quantum-systems framework.

description: Abstract: Background: An improved understanding of the trajectory of recovery after mild traumatic brain injury is important to be able to understand individual patient outcomes, for longitudinal patient care and to aid the design of clinical trials. Objective: To explore changes in health, well-being and cognition over the 2 years following mTBI using latent growth curve (LGC) modelling. Methods: Sixty-one adults with mTBI presenting to a UK Major Trauma Centre completed comprehensive longitudinal assessment at up to five time points after injury: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. Results: Persisting problems were seen with neurological symptoms, cognitive issues and poor quality of life measures including 28% reporting incomplete recovery on the Glasgow Outcome Score Extended at 2 years. Harmful drinking, depression, psychological distress, disability, episodic memory and working memory did not improve significantly over the 2 years following injury. For other measures, including the Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptoms and Quality of Life after Brain Injury (QOLIBRI), LGC analysis revealed significant improvement over time with recovery tending to plateau at 3–6 months. Interpretation: Significant impairment may persist as late as 2 years after mTBI despite some recovery over time. Longitudinal analyses which make use of all available data indicate that recovery from mTBI occurs over a longer timescale than is commonly believed. These findings point to the need for long-term management of mTBI targeting individuals with persisting impairment.

description: Efficient grassland easement management requires correct evaluation and cost-effective acquisition of easements. We develop an integrated theoretical framework to study grassland easement evaluation and acquisition. Grassland tracts can be either kept under grass gaining grazing returns or converted to cropland generating cropping returns. Under a two-period framework, grassland owners choose an optimal action from ‘convert now,’ ‘ease now,’ and ‘wait and see’ in period one to maximize total expected returns over the two periods, while taking easement payment from an easement agency as given. The easement agency, however, aims to maximize the increase in expected environmental benefits arising from a budget-constrained easement acquisition program. We find that a mean preserving spread of the difference between cropping returns and grazing returns increases the value from action ‘wait and see’ and the minimum easement payment that landowners are willing to accept (i.e., the easement value). This change will decrease conversion probability in period one. If distribution of cropping returns and grazing returns undergo a shift such that they become larger in the supermodular order sense, then the easement value decreases and the period-one conversion probability increases. Therefore, the easement value and period-one conversion probability may go opposite directions, which indicates that an assumption commonly used in conservation literature (i.e., the larger the conversion probability the higher the easement value) may not hold. Solutions to the easement agency’s problem show that a grassland tract whose owner chooses ‘wait and see’ in period one should not be acquired in that period. An easement acquisition index is developed to rank acquisition priority for different grassland tracts.

description: Abstract: Neuroimaging for dementia has made remarkable progress in recent years, shedding light on diagnostic subtypes of dementia, predicting prognosis and monitoring pathology. This review covers some updates in the understanding of dementia using structural imaging, positron emission tomography (PET), structural and functional connectivity, and using big data and artificial intelligence. Progress with neuroimaging methods allows neuropathology to be examined in vivo, providing a suite of biomarkers for understanding neurodegeneration and for application in clinical trials. In addition, we highlight quantitative susceptibility imaging as an exciting new technique that may prove to be a sensitive biomarker for a range of neurodegenerative diseases. There are challenges in translating novel imaging techniques to clinical practice, particularly in developing standard methodologies and overcoming regulatory issues. It is likely that clinicians will need to lead the way if these obstacles are to be overcome. Continued efforts applying neuroimaging to understand mechanisms of neurodegeneration and translating them to clinical practice will complete a revolution in neuroimaging.

We give the correct shift of the dilaton, correcting a mistake in the litterature. We then use the fact that the six dimensional Drinfeld doubles have been classified to write down all possible conformal Poisson-Lie T-duals of three dimensional space times and we explicitly work out two duals to the constant dilaton and zero anti-symmetric tensor Bianchi type V space time and show that they satisfy the string equations of motion. This space-time was previously thought to have no duals because of the tracefulness of the structure constants.

description: The natural flavonol quercetin (Q) is found in many vegetables, fruits, and beverages, and it is known as a strong antioxidant. Its metal ion chelation may increase its antioxidant activity. The present study aims to explore the Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) chelating on the antioxidant effectiveness and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) main protease (Mpro) inhibitory of quercetin using Density-functional theory (DFT), molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations (MD). DFT calculations at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ reveal that the high antioxidant activity of the metal-chelated quercetin complexes is mainly returned to their lower ionization potentials (IPs) compared with the one of the free quercetin. Molecular docking of quercetin and its Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) chelates into the active binding sites of peroxiredoxin 5 and SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) were performed using Lamarckian Genetic Algorithm method. The docked quercetin and its metal chelates fit well into the binding site of the target proteins, and their binding affinity is strongly influenced by the type of the chelated metals Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II), and molar ratio metal: ligand, i.e. 1:2 and 2:1. Further, the binding stability of QZn2 and QCu2 in peroxiredoxin 5 and SARS-CoV-2 main protease targets is evaluated using MD simulation conducted for 100 ns simulations at natural room temperature conditions, and the obtained results showed that all chelates remain bound to the ligand binding groove of protein except for 1HD2_QZn2 complex. Finally, the adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) and drug-likeness properties of quercetin and cobalt(II)-quercetin (QCo2(II)) were investigated.

description: Abstract: Shigella sonnei increasingly dominates the international epidemiological landscape of shigellosis. Treatment options for S. sonnei are dwindling due to resistance to several key antimicrobials, including the fluoroquinolones. Here we analyse nearly 400 S. sonnei whole genome sequences from both endemic and non-endemic regions to delineate the evolutionary history of the recently emergent fluoroquinolone-resistant S. sonnei. We reaffirm that extant resistant organisms belong to a single clonal expansion event. Our results indicate that sequential accumulation of defining mutations (gyrA-S83L, parC-S80I, and gyrA-D87G) led to the emergence of the fluoroquinolone-resistant S. sonnei population around 2007 in South Asia. This clone was then transmitted globally, resulting in establishments in Southeast Asia and Europe. Mutation analysis suggests that the clone became dominant through enhanced adaptation to oxidative stress. Experimental evolution reveals that under fluoroquinolone exposure in vitro, resistant S. sonnei develops further intolerance to the antimicrobial while the susceptible counterpart fails to attain complete resistance.

description: Introduction: Relatively few general practice (GP) workplace-based assessment instruments have been psychometrically evaluated. This study aims to establish the content validity and internal consistency of the General Practice Registrar Competency Assessment Grid (GPR-CAG). Methods: The GPR-CAG was constructed as a formative assessment instrument for Australian GP registrars (trainees). GPR-CAG items were determined by an iterative literature review, expert opinion and pilot-testing process. Validation data were collected, between 2014 and 2016, during routine clinical teaching visits within registrars’ first two general practice training terms (GPT1 and GPT2) for registrars across New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. Factor analysis and expert consensus were used to refine items and establish GPR-CAG’s internal structure. GPT1 and GPT2 competencies were analysed separately. Results: Data of 555 registrars undertaking GPT1 and 537 registrars undertaking GPT2 were included in analyses. A four-factor, 16-item solution was identified for GPT1 competencies (Cronbach’s alpha range: 0.71–0.83) and a seven-factor 27-item solution for GPT2 competencies (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.63–0.84). The emergent factor structures were clinically characterisable and resonant with existing medical education competency frameworks. Discussion: This study establishes initial evidence for the content validity and internal consistency of GPR-CAG. GPR-CAG appears to have utility as a formative GP training WBA instrument.

The effect of temperature on the physiological and behavioural responses of Collembola
Creators: name: Kovacevic, Aleksandra
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: subject: Ecology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Warming global temperatures are accompanied by larger, more frequent thermal extremes and by drought. How soil animals respond is poorly known, even though they are essential for supporting ecosystems. This work, on springtails – important soil animals – shows that just how fast warming takes place is critical for heat tolerance. Slow rates do not necessarily result in better survival. Behavioural avoidance is also important – animals showing the lowest temperature tolerances prefer the deepest habitats. Rising thermal extremes and droughts will have negative impacts on soil animals, which they can avoid in the short term, but not in an expected hot future.

description: We consider spontaneous CP violation in the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, without the usual $Z_3$ discrete symmetry. CP violation can occur at tree level, raising a potential conflict with the experimental bounds on the electric dipole moments of the electron and neutron. One escape from this is to demand that the CP violating angles are small, but we find that this entails a light neutral Higgs particle. This is almost pseudoscalar, can have a high singlet content, and will be hard to detect experimentally.

description: Consumers' attitude seems positive towards origin labelled products. The observation of the market's shares however lets appear a less favourable reality. The study is based on single source data. A scanned data consumers' panel is used to record purchases and preferences in mass marketing. Origin labelled products are really appreciated or rejected by consumers, but do not leave consumers indifferent. Marketing strategies thus could be conducted towards increased consumers loyalty and attraction of new consumers, but the number of consumers buying them will remain small. Hedonic ratings obtained by the preferences tests reveal that origin labelled products do not obtain the highest ratings. Efforts should thus be directed towards a better response to consumers' desires. Last, even if origin labelled products take some advantage of their identification, their image is not as good as national leaders image, so communication efforts should also be made.
The socio-economic potential for peripheral rural regions of regional imagery and quality products

description: This paper originates from an EU-funded research project1 whose objective is to conceptualise and to analyse the links between the use of regional imagery and the production and marketing of quality products and services in twelve peripheral rural regions of the EU. After establishing a conceptual framework which draws from various disciplinary perspectives, especially geography, economics and marketing, the paper bases its analysis on extensive empirical work which includes interview surveys of three groups of relevant actors in each study region : the producers of quality products, actual and potential consumers of such products, and relevant developmental and regulatory institutions. Perceptions of quality and of regional imagery are compared both between, and within, these groups ; and the strategies available for strengthening these attributes, developing linkages between them, and exploiting them through the marketing of appropriate products are examined. While drawing on the experience of a variety of regional circumstances within Europe, the paper makes particular reference to the West Wales region where rapid institutional change and severe recession in the livestock industry highlight the importance for rural development purposes of moving from "commodity-based" to "value added" production against the background of a relatively weak regional image.
Testing perturbation theory on the nf=0 static quark potential

description: The perturbative expansion of static force and potential is reanalyzed concerning its practical applicability. A well behaved perturbative prediction is given by the integration of the renormalization group equation for the coupling $α_{qq}(μ=1/r)=(C_f)^{-1} r^2 F(r)$. Since the Lambda-parameter of the $\nf=0$ theory is known from previous work, the perturbative prediction contains no free parameter. It is confronted with recent non-perturbative results. For $α< 0.3$ where the truncation error of the perturbative expression is naively estimated to be moderate, it is really quite accurate and large ``non-perturbative terms'' are excluded.

description: SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is regulated by the host cell receptors ACE2 and TMPRSS2, and therefore the effect of various natural and synthetic compounds on these receptors has recently been the subject of investigations. Cyclodextrins, naturally occurring polysaccharides derived from starch, are soluble in water and have a hydrophobic cavity at their center enabling them to accommodate small molecules and utilize them as carriers in the food, supplements, and pharmaceutical industries to improve the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of target compounds. In the current study, computational molecular simulations were used to investigate the ability of α-, β- and γ-Cyclodextrins on human cell surface receptors. Cell-based experimental approaches, including expression analyses at mRNA and protein levels and virus replication, were used to assess the effect on receptor expression and virus infection, respectively. We found that none of the three CDs could dock effectively to human cell surface receptor ACE2 and viral protease Mpro (essential for virus replication). On the other hand, α- and β-CD showed strong and stable interactions with TMPRSS2, and the expression of both ACE2 and TMPRSS2 was downregulated at the mRNA and protein levels in cyclodextrin (CD)-treated cells. A cell-based virus replication assay showed ∼20% inhibition by β- and γ-CD. Taken together, the study suggested that (i) downregulation of expression of host cell receptors may not be sufficient to inhibit virus infection (ii) activity of the receptors and virus protein Mpro may play a critical and clinically relevant role, and hence (iii) newly emerging anti-Covid-19 compounds warrant multimodal functional analyses.

description: "PDQ and PG/ labels are becoming increasingly important in the European market of food and quality products. The" "purpose of this paper is to analyse under what conditions these labels are successful in the market place, how they function and how they can help farmers to increase the social well being of rural areas. The discussion is presented in the context of the fresh meat product ""Veal from Galicia"". The main conclusion of this paper is that only those PG/ or PDQ products that carry on a premium generated by the presence of the label are able to fully achieve their rural development goals. Willingness to pay a premium for the label may be caused by both a desire for quality products and/ or a desire for support the local economy. Marketing strategies that may help PGI/PDQ policies to increase the rural development and social well being of their communities include strict quality selection of the labelled products, promotion and awareness of their highest quality levels or brands, and a strong identification with the local economy."

description: Generic promotions are becoming very important in the agro-food system, either to promote a particular food product or an origin labelled product. These promotions are difficult to balance because there are private and public interests. Sometimes, there are also conflicts among private aims. In most cases, the main objective is to enhance consumption. However, there can be other purposes such as introducing local producers into the modern channels of distribution. Very rarely, evaluations are carried out despite large expenditures on promoting. In this paper, an evaluation of a generic promotion campaign undertaken in Aragon (Spain) is presented. The campaign included wine and ham with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), a protected Geographical Indication (PG/) for lamb and a quality label (TSG) for different products. Their typical and traditional making nature as well as their high quality distinguish all of them. Data have been collected through questionnaires addressed to consumers and producing firms, and personal interviews with the distribution chains managers.
