description: Objective: To conduct a pilot study of an intervention to decrease fall incidence and concerns about falling among individuals living with Spinal Cord Injury who use manual wheelchairs full-time. Design: Pre/post. After a baseline assessment, a structured intervention was implemented. The assessment protocol was repeated 12 weeks after the baseline assessment. Setting: Research laboratory and community. Participants: 18 individuals living with SCI who use a manual wheelchair full-time with an average age of 35.78 ± 13.89 years, lived with SCI for 17.06 ± 14.6 years; 61.1% were female. Intervention: A 1:1, 45 minute, in-person intervention focused on factors associated with falls and concerns about falling: transfers skills and seated postural control. Outcome measures: Participants reported fall incidence and completed the Spinal Cord Injury Fall Concerns Scale, Community Participation Indicators and the World Health Organization Quality of Life – short version (WHOQOL-BREF). Transfer quality was assessed with the Transfer Assessment Instrument (TAI) and seated postural control with the Function In Seating Test (FIST). Results: Recruitment, assessment and delivery of the intervention were successfully completed. After exposure to the intervention, fall incidence significantly decreased, (P = 0.047, dz = 0.507) and FIST scores improved (P = 0.035, dz = 0.54). Significant improvements were also found in the WHOQOL-BREF Physical (P = 0.05, dz = 1.566) and Psychological (P = 0.040, dz = 0.760) domains. Conclusion: The feasibility of the structured intervention was established and the intervention has the potential to reduce fall incidence and improve quality of life among individuals living with SCI who use a wheelchair. Appropriately powered randomized controlled trials of the program are warranted.

description: This paper examines whether USDA announcements and commodity index fund rolling activity has an impact of liquidity costs, measured by the Bid-Ask-Spread. Using Huang and Stoll’s (1997) model of liquidity costs, we estimate whether changes to liquidity costs are driven by the adverse selection component, the inventory cost component, or the order processing component. Commodity index fund roll activity reduces the asymmetric information cost component of liquidity cost due to an increased proportion of non-information based trading, but the inventory cost component increases as (mostly long only) commodity index funds sell their nearby position and buy the first deferred contract – raising liquidity providers’ risk of building a position. The sum of these two effects is that liquidity costs remain low during index fund roll periods, averaging very near to one ‘tick’ (0.25 cents). On USDA report release days, we find that informed traders raise the asymmetric information component of liquidity costs in the first hour after release, but the inventory cost component is reduced due to the increase in volume associated with trading the report release. As was the case for commodity index fund roll activity, liquidity costs on USDA report release days remain low, averaging very near to one ‘tick’ (0.25 cents). Our finding that liquidity costs are very minimally changed during USDA report releases and commodity index fund roll periods is similar to other recent research on liquidity costs, but we show that what drives liquidity costs is very different depending on the circumstances surrounding trading on any given day.

description: 281. Limnia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 685.
 ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Limnia limbata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (as “ Musca limbata. Fabr.”); Limnia claripennis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Limnia marginalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Musca marginata Fabricius, 1775; Limnia dejeanii Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830.
 TYPE SPECIES: Limnia limbata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [= Musca unguicornis Scopoli, 1763], by subsequent designation (Cresson, 1920: 75).
 CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Rozkošný & Elberg (1984: 185)].
FAMILY: SCIOMYZIDAE.
 REMARKS: It cannot be excluded that Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 685) was referring to Musca limbata Gmelin, 1790 (which is an objective synonym of Musca marginata Fabricius, 1775 and now treated in Coremacera Rondani, 1856 [Sciomyzidae]), when he wrote: “ Musca limbata Fabr. ”. On page 686, Robineau-Desvoidy stated: “ Cette espèce [Limnia marginata] et le L. limbata sont vrais Muscae marginata et limbata, ainsi nommés par M. Bosc, et ainsi étiquetés par lui dans sa collection, où Fabricius en prit la description. Je rapporte ce fait, parce que, dans une autre collection de Paris, j’ai vu le Musca marginata étiqueté du nom de Musca limbata. L’étiquette était de la main même de Fabricius.” This change of the type species to Musca limbata Gmelin, 1790 would upset the stability of the two genera.

description: Resource theory is a general, model-independent approach aiming to understand the qualitative notion of resource quantitatively. In a given resource theory, free operations are physical processes that do not create the resource and are considered zero-cost. This brings the following natural question: For a given free operation, what is its ability to preserve a resource? We axiomatically formulate this ability as the resource preservability, which is constructed as a channel resource theory induced by a state resource theory. We provide two general classes of resource preservability monotones: One is based on state resource monotones, and another is based on channel distance measures. Specifically, the latter gives the robustness monotone, which has been recently found to have an operational interpretation. As examples, we show that athermality preservability of a Gibbs-preserving channel can be related to the smallest bath size needed to thermalize all its outputs, and it also bounds the capacity of a classical communication scenario under certain thermodynamic constraints. We further apply our theory to the study of entanglement preserving local thermalization (EPLT) and provide a new family of EPLT which admits arbitrarily small nonzero entanglement preservability and free entanglement preservation at the same time. Our results give the first systematic and general formulation of the resource preservation character of free operations.

description: Short-lived nuclides, now extinct in the solar system, are expected to be present in the interstellar medium (ISM). Grains of ISM origin were recently discovered in the inner solar system and at Earth orbit and may accrete onto Earth after ablation in the atmosphere. A favorable matrix for detection of such extraterrestrial material is presented by deep open-sea sediments with very low sedimentation rates (0.8-3 mm/kyr). We report here on the measurement of Pu isotopic abundances in a 1-kg deep-sea dry sediment collected in 1992 in the North Pacific. Our measured value of (3+-3)x10^5 244Pu atoms in the Pu-separated fraction of the sample shows no excess over the expected stratospheric nuclear fallout content and under reasonable assumptions we derive a limit of 2x10^-11 g-244Pu/g-ISM for the abundance of 244Pu in ISM.

description: In this study, the mechanochemical treatment with and without reagent (citric acid) was presented as a new modification method to improve the adsorptive capacity of corncob in the removal of Cu2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. A high-energy planetary ball mill was used for modification. The parameters affecting both reagent-assisted (CA-MCM)/non-reagent (MCM) modifications and adsorption effectiveness were investigated via the response surface methodology approach. As a result of optimisation, over 95% heavy metal removals were achieved for both modified materials. To explain the adsorption mechanism; isothermal, kinetic, thermodynamic and activation parameters were examined. The pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models were found to be appropriate for all adsorbents and heavy metals. According to the thermodynamic parameters, the adsorption processes were spontaneous and endothermic. Desorption studies were conducted to determine the reusability of the adsorbents. Ternary adsorption system of metals was also investigated. Characterisation studies were carried out using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and surface analysis (point of zero charge (pHpzc), Boehm titration) to investigate the effects of modifications on the adsorbents’ surface and chemical structure. In addition, the financial advantages of the modification methods were demonstrated by alternative selection and cash flow analyses. All the results revealed that this method as a low-cost and eco-friendly alternative modification treatment to increase the adsorption efficiency of agricultural waste of similar nature.

description: The microscopic control available over cold atoms in optical lattices has opened new opportunities to study the properties of quantum spin models. While a lot of attention is focussed on experimentally realizing ground or thermal states via adiabatic loading, it would often be more straightforward to prepare specific simple product states and to probe the properties of interacting spins by observing their dynamics. We explore this possibility for spin-1/2 and spin-1 models that can be realized with bosons in optical lattices, and which exhibit \textit{XY}-ferromagnetic (or counterflow spin superfluid) phases. We consider the dynamics of initial spin-rotated states corresponding to a mean-field version of the phases of interest. Using matrix product state methods in one dimension, we compute both non-equilibrium dynamics and ground/thermal states for these systems. We compare and contrast their behaviour in terms of correlation functions and induced spin currents, which should be directly observable with current experimental techniques. We find that although spin correlations decay substantially at large distances and on long timescales, for induction of spin currents, the rotated states behave similarly to the ground states on experimentally observable timescales.

description: This research investigates the use of commodity exchange traded funds (ETFs) as a price risk management tool for agriculture producers. The effectiveness of using ETFs to hedge price risk will be determined by calculating optimal hedge ratios. This paper will investigate the southeastern producer’s ability to hedge their price risk for not only outputs, like corn and feeder cattle, but also for inputs, like diesel fuel and fertilizer. These ratios will be calculated using ordinary least squares (OLS), error correction model (ECM), and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) regression models. A utility maximization framework will be used to determine how transaction costs and risk aversion effect the optimal hedge ratio. Being able to use ETFs to hedge price risk would provide a significant tool to small and mid-sized producers who are unable to take advantage of current price risk management practices, such as the use of futures, because of the large size of the futures contracts. ETFs also present a potential tool to manage a producer’s input price risk. A majority of producers are unable to protect themselves from the rising costs of inputs due to producers’ small production size and unavailability of protection methods.

description: Translation regulation plays an important role in eukaryotic gene expression. Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are potent regulatory elements located in 5′ mRNA transcript leaders. Translation of uORFs usually inhibit the translation of downstream main open reading frames, but some enhance expression. While a minority of uORFs encode conserved functional peptides, the coding regions of most uORFs are not conserved. Thus, the importance of uORF coding sequences on their regulatory functions remains largely unknown. We investigated the impact of an uORF coding region on gene regulation by assaying the functions of thousands of variants in the yeast YAP1 uORF. Varying uORF codons resulted in a wide range of functions, including repressing and enhancing expression of the downstream ORF. The presence of rare codons resulted in the most inhibitory YAP1 uORF variants. Inhibitory functions of such uORFs were abrogated by overexpression of complementary tRNA. Finally, regression analysis of our results indicated that both codon identity and position impact uORF function. Our results support a model in which a uORF coding sequence impacts its regulatory functions by altering the speed of uORF translation.

description: Many approaches to nucleon-nucleus elastic and inelastic scattering are based on the use of the free-space nucleon-nucleon transition amplitude. In calculations where the full spin-dependence of this amplitude is needed, its use is more tractable when it is expressed in terms of irreducible tensor operators of the spins of the interacting nucleons. We present general formulae for this representation which is particularly useful for inelastic scattering studies involving spin-flip transitions of a target nucleon.

description: Volatile output prices lead to a fluctuating shadow price (profitability) of agricultural land, and therefore may impact land use decisions in case of risk-averse behaviour. In this paper we assess the effect of volatile agricultural output prices on agricultural land-use change over the past decade in the Netherlands. Using regional data from 2000 through 2009, the number of hectares of land for 10 land uses was calculated. To determine the joint distribution of agricultural activities, hectares of land for each land use were converted to land share equations. Land share equations were estimated to determine the contribution of increased price volatility to land use change. Results show that larger volatility affects land shares negatively. Producer’s output responses, therefore, were consistently affected by risk-averse behaviour.

description: In this study, Cornell Cooperative Extension agriculture educators were surveyed to ascertain: 1) their assessment of the needs and interests of constituent farmers for learning business planning and marketing principles, 2) the resources they currently use to meet these needs, 3) the partners they have used in training, and 4) their needs for additional resources and professional development to deliver support on these topics. Similar studies and reports created at Cornell University since 1978 informed our research. Earlier studies documented the ongoing needs of farmers and educators for resources in business management over the past two decades. Over that same time period, alternative and diversified enterprises have become more common farming activities, resulting in a heightened interest by farmers in value-added opportunities, suitable market channels, and strategies to access them. Because of this trend it was judged to be an appropriate time to re-inventory the needs and interests of extension educators. Participants in the survey, which was administered by mail to 118 individuals, included Cornell Cooperative Extension personnel who work with agricultural constituents and people hired as Agriculture Economic Development Specialists. Seventy-five useable surveys were completed, representing a response rate of 64%. Results show that extension educators still feel that in the areas of business planning and marketing too few resources are available and there persists an underdeveloped capacity to adequately serve the requests of constituents. Of course, not all constituent demands can or should be met. Choices about how to best support current needs must be based on the CCE mission as an educational system, which, according to its mission statement, enables “people to improve their lives and communities through partnerships that put experience and research knowledge to work.” Seen through this lens, the results of the study indicate that CCE should promote the addition of training opportunities and creation of education materials which are aimed at agriculture extension educators (and through them, farmers) and are focused on effective business planning practices that will lead to improved profits and career satisfaction.

description: Models of quantum gravity imply a fundamental revision of our description of position and momentum that manifests in modifications of the canonical commutation relations. Experimental tests of such modifications remain an outstanding challenge. These corrections scale with the mass of test particles, which motivates experiments using macroscopic composite particles. Here we consider a challenge to such tests, namely that quantum gravity corrections of canonical commutation relations are expected to be suppressed with increasing number of constituent particles. Since the precise scaling of this suppression is unknown, it needs to be bounded experimentally and explicitly incorporated into rigorous analyses of quantum gravity tests. We analyse this scaling based on concrete experiments involving macroscopic pendula and provide tight bounds that exceed those of current experiments based on quantum mechanical oscillators. Furthermore, we discuss possible experiments that promise even stronger bounds thus bringing rigorous and well-controlled tests of quantum gravity closer to reality.

description: We map a 50' x 30' area in and around the M17 molecular complex with the French submillimeter balloon-borne telescope PRONAOS, in order to better understand the thermal emission of cosmic dust and the structure of the interstellar medium. The PRONAOS-SPM instrument has an angular resolution of about 3', corresponding to a size of 2 pc at the distance of this complex, and a high sensitivity up to 0.8 MJy/sr. The observations are made in four wide submillimeter bands corresponding to effective wavelengths of 200, 260, 360 and 580 um. Using an improved map-making method for PRONAOS data, we map the M17 complex and faint condensations near the dense warm core. We derive maps of both the dust temperature and the spectral index, which vary over a wide range, from about 10 K to 100 K for the temperature and from about 1 to 2.5 for the spectral index. We show that these parameters are anticorrelated, the cold areas (10-20 K) having a spectral index around 2, whereas the warm areas have a spectral index between 1 and 1.5. We discuss possible causes of this effect, and we propose an explanation involving intrinsic variations of the grain properties. Indeed, to match the observed spectra with two dust components having a spectral index equal to 2 leads to very large and unlikely amounts of cold dust. We also give estimates of the column densities and masses of the studied clumps. Three cold clumps (14-17 K) could be gravitationally unstable.

description: This presentation was given at the annual openCFS meeting, which is about the development proceedings and application of the FEM code openCFS. It was about he model order reduction via projection into an eigensubspace of an acoustic helmholtz resonator in an open domain, therefore leading to a quadratic eigenvalue problem. Its originality lies in the procedure of selecting relevant modeshapes for the projection basis as well as not linearising the problem before projection.

description: Classification of HEp-2 cell patterns plays a significant role in the indirect immunofluorescence test for identifying autoimmune diseases in the human body. Many automatic HEp-2 cell classification methods have been proposed in recent years, amongst which deep learning based methods have shown impressive performance. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the existing deep learning based HEp-2 cell image classification methods. These methods perform HEp-2 image classification at two levels, namely, cell-level and specimen-level. Both levels are covered in this review. At each level, the methods are organized with a deep network usage based taxonomy. The core idea, notable achievements, and key strengths and weaknesses of each method are critically analyzed. Furthermore, a concise review of the existing HEp-2 datasets that are commonly used in the literature is given. The paper ends with a discussion on novel opportunities and future research directions in this field. It is hoped that this paper would provide readers with a thorough reference of this novel, challenging, and thriving field.

description: Under the background of rapid agricultural economic development, rural financial and accounting work is of great significance. From rural accounting management system, rural accountant allocation and rural accounting training, this paper analyzes current situations of rural accounting work in China. In rural financial and accounting work, there are following problems. (1) Accounting behavior is not standard, and basic accounting work is to be further strengthened; (2) Internal control is not perfect and implementation of supervision mechanism is formalized; (3) Few people manipulate accounting behavior and accounting information is not transparent. In view of these problems, it puts forward countermeasures for improving rural accounting work: (1) establishing perfect agricultural accounting system; (2) regulating fund management order; (3) promoting computerized agricultural financial and accounting work; (4) improving professional and comprehensive quality of rural accountants.

description: A new class of nonparametric prior distributions, termed Beta-Binomial stick-breaking process, is proposed. By allowing the underlying length random variables to be dependent through a Beta marginals Markov chain, an appealing discrete random probability measure arises. The chain's dependence parameter controls the ordering of the stick-breaking weights, and thus tunes the model's label-switching ability. Also, by tuning this parameter, the resulting class contains the Dirichlet process and the Geometric process priors as particular cases, which is of interest for fast convergence of MCMC implementations. Some properties of the model are discussed and a density estimation algorithm is proposed and tested with simulated datasets.

description: Fully convolutional networks (FCNs) have been recently used for feature extraction and classification in image and speech recognition, where their inputs have been raw signal or other complicated features. Persian signature verification is done using conventional convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this paper, we propose to use FCN for learning a robust feature extraction from the raw signature images. FCN can be considered as a variant of CNN where its fully connected layers are replaced with a global pooling layer. In the proposed manner, FCN inputs are raw signature images and convolution filter size is fixed. Recognition accuracy on UTSig database, shows that FCN with a global average pooling outperforms CNN.
Effects of coherence on quantum speed limits and shortcuts to adiabaticity in many-particle systems

description: We discuss the effects of many-body coherence on the speed of evolution of ultracold atomic gases and the relation to quantum speed limits. Our approach is focused on two related systems, spinless fermions and the bosonic Tonks-Girardeau gas, which possess equivalent density dynamics but very different coherence properties. To illustrate the effect of the coherence on the dynamics we consider squeezing an anharmonic potential which confines the particles and find that the speed of the evolution exhibits subtle, but fundamental differences between the two systems. Furthermore, we explore the difference in the driven dynamics by implementing a shortcut to adiabaticity designed to reduce spurious excitations. We show that collisions between the strongly interacting bosons can lead to changes in the coherence which results in different evolution speeds and therefore different fidelities of the final states.

description: We present an ultraviolet spectrum of MRC 2251-178 taken with HST/STIS-G230L. The observation is part of a snap shot program of QSOs to systematically search for intrinsic absorption lines through variability. The sample consists of all QSOs observed with HST/FOS which showed associated narrow absorption lines. The FOS spectrum of MRC 2251-178, taken in 1996, showed an associated C IV doublet with an C IV \lambda1548 equivalent width 1.09+/-0.09 A (Monier et al. 2001). It is not detected in the STIS spectrum taken four years later, down to a 3-sigma threshold of 0.19 A. In addition to its other accolades, these observations make MRC 2251-178 the very first QSO at low redshift in which the associated absorption is shown to be truly intrinsic. We discuss the implications of this and suggest courses for future study.

description: The (co)homology self-closeness number of a simply-connected based CW-complexes $X$ is the minimal number $k$ such that any self-map $f$ of $X$ inducing an automorphism of the (co)homology groups for dimensions$\leq k$ is a self-homotopy equivalence. These two numbers are homotopy invariants and have a close relation with the group of self-homotopy equivalences. In this paper, we compare the (co)homology self-closeness numbers of spaces in certain cofibrations, define the mod $p$ (co)homology self-closeness number of simply-connected $p$-local spaces with finitely generated homologies and study some properties of the (mod $p$) (co)homology self-closeness numbers.

Content-based image retrieval using Mix histogram

description: This paper presents a new method to extract image low-level features, namely mix histogram (MH), for content-based image retrieval. Since color and edge orientation features are important visual information which help the human visual system percept and discriminate different images, this method extracts and integrates color and edge orientation information in order to measure similarity between different images. Traditional color histograms merely focus on the global distribution of color in the image and therefore fail to extract other visual features. The MH is attempting to overcome this problem by extracting edge orientations as well as color feature. The unique characteristic of the MH is that it takes into consideration both color and edge orientation information in an effective manner. Experimental results show that it outperforms many existing methods which were originally developed for image retrieval purposes.

description: IntroductionHow do multiple sources of information interact to form mental representations of object categories? It is commonly held that object categories reflect the integration of perceptual features and semantic/knowledge‐based features. To explore the relative contributions of these two sources of information, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify regions involved in the representation object categories with shared visual and/or semantic features.
MethodsParticipants (N = 20) viewed a series of objects that varied in their degree of visual and semantic overlap in the MRI scanner. We used a blocked adaptation design to identify sensitivity to visual and semantic features in a priori visual processing regions and in a distributed network of object processing regions with an exploratory whole‐brain analysis.
ResultsSomewhat surprisingly, within higher‐order visual processing regions—specifically lateral occipital cortex (LOC)—we did not obtain any difference in neural adaptation for shared visual versus semantic category membership. More broadly, both visual and semantic information affected a distributed network of independently identified category‐selective regions. Adaptation was seen a whole‐brain network of processing regions in response to visual similarity and semantic similarity; specifically, the angular gyrus (AnG) adapted to visual similarity and the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) adapted to both visual and semantic similarity.
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that perceptual features help organize mental categories throughout the object processing hierarchy. Most notably, visual similarity also influenced adaptation in nonvisual brain regions (i.e., AnG and DMPFC). We conclude that category‐relevant visual features are maintained in higher‐order conceptual representations and visual information plays an important role in both the acquisition and neural representation of conceptual object categories.
