description: This report evaluates the U.S. and world wheat markets for the 2016-2025 time period using the Global Wheat Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on a series of assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, weather conditions, and technological change. Both the U.S. and world wheat economies are predicted to remain soft for the next ten years. World demand for both common and durum wheat are expected to remain stable however the large supplies of 2013, 2014 and 2015 will continue to pressure the market. The high price levels in 2010, 2011 and early 2012 will not be maintained because they are the result of a small wheat crop in 2010 and 2012 in the Former Soviet Union (FSU) and Argentina in 2012. The lower price levels for all commodities will also impact the wheat market. It is expected that wheat production in the FSU will return to normal in the future. World trade volumes of both durum and common wheat are expected to expand, but trade volume of common wheat may grow faster than that of durum wheat.

Radiative Transfer Distortions of Lyman-$α$ Emitters: a New Fingers-of-God Damping in the Clustering in Redshift Space

description: Complex radiative transfer (RT) of the Lyman-$α$ photons poses a theoretical challenge to galaxy surveys which infer the large-scale structure with Lyman-$α$ emitters (LAEs). Guided by RT simulations, prior studies investigated the impact of RT on the large-scale LAE clustering, and claimed that RT induces a selection effect which results in an anisotropic distortion even in real space but in an otherwise negligible effect in redshift space. However, our previous study, which relies on a full radiative transfer code run on the Illustris simulations, shows that the anisotropic selection effect was drastically reduced with higher spatial resolution. Adopting the same simulation framework, we further study the impact of RT on the LAE clustering in redshift space. Since we measure LAE's radial position through a spectral peak of a Lyman-$α$ emission, the frequency shift due to RT contaminates the redshift measurement and hence the inferred radial position in redshift space. We demonstrate that this additional RT offset suppresses the LAE clustering along the line of sight, which can be interpreted as a novel Fingers-of-God (FoG) effect. To assess the FoG effect, we develop a theoretical framework with particular emphasis on its connection with the underlying one-point velocity distribution which simultaneously takes into account the RT offset as well as the peculiar velocity that is commonly studied in the context of the Redshift Space Distortion (RSD). Although our findings strongly encourage a more careful RSD modeling in LAE surveys, we also seek a method to mitigate the additional FoG effect due to RT by making use of other information in a Lyman-$α$ spectrum.

description: Purpose: Children and adolescents undergoing treatment for cancer are exposed to a wide variety of stressors both physical and mental. Not only adults but also children and adolescents increasingly practice yoga in a health-promoting manner and to cope with stressful situations. Methods: A review of literature was conducted to present the current outcomes on yoga, meditation and mindfulness for children and adolescents who are affected by an oncological disease. Results: Eight studies were identified that examined yoga treatment for children and adolescents with oncological diseases. Three studies were found on mindfulness in pediatric oncology. The studies summarized here suggest that yoga and mindfulness could help to improve quality of life, reduce fatigue, improve activity and fitness levels, improve sleep quality, increase appetite and decrease anxiety in various stages of the disease and its treatment. The reviewed studies showed that yoga and mindfulness-based interventions for children and adolescents with oncological illnesses are feasible in different settings and are well received. Conclusions: The results of the studies suggest that yoga and mindfulness may help to support children and adolescents during and after oncological treatment. Based on the current body of evidence it is not possible to draw conclusions about the efficacy of yoga and mindfulness-based interventions in pediatric oncology patients. Research must meet this challenge to develop suitable designs to further and better investigate the effects of yoga and mindfulness in children and adolescents with oncological diseases.

description: A tau function of the 2D Toda hierarchy can be obtained from a generating function of the two-partition cubic Hodge integrals. The associated Lax operators turn out to satisfy an algebraic relation. This algebraic relation can be used to identify a reduced system of the 2D Toda hierarchy that emerges when the parameter $τ$ of the cubic Hodge integrals takes a special value. Integrable hierarchies of the Volterra type are shown to be such reduced systems. They can be derived for positive rational values of $τ$. In particular, the discrete series $τ= 1,2,\ldots$ correspond to the Volterra lattice and its hungry generalizations. This provides a new explanation to the integrable structures of the cubic Hodge integrals observed by Dubrovin et al. in the perspectives of tau-symmetric integrable Hamiltonian PDEs.

description: The gut-liver axis covers the bidirectional communication between the gut and the liver, and thus includes signals from liver-to-gut (e.g., bile acids, immunoglobulins) and from gut-to-liver (e.g., nutrients, microbiota-derived products, and recirculating bile acids). In a healthy individual, liver homeostasis is tightly controlled by the mostly tolerogenic liver resident macrophages, the Kupffer cells, capturing the gut-derived antigens from the blood circulation. However, disturbances of the gut-liver axis have been associated to the progression of varying chronic liver diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Notably, changes of the gut microbiome, or intestinal dysbiosis, combined with increased intestinal permeability, leads to the translocation of gut-derived bacteria or their metabolites into the portal vein. In the context of concomitant or subsequent liver inflammation, the liver is then infiltrated by responsive immune cells (e.g., monocytes, neutrophils, lymphoid, or dendritic cells), and microbiota-derived products may provoke or exacerbate innate immune responses, hence perpetuating liver inflammation and fibrosis, and potentiating the risks of developing cirrhosis. Similarly, food derived antigens, bile acids, danger-, and pathogen-associated molecular patterns are able to reshape the liver immune microenvironment. Immune cell intracellular signaling components, such as inflammasome activation, toll-like receptor or nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors signaling, are potent targets of interest for the modulation of the immune response. This review describes the current understanding of the cellular landscape and molecular pathways involved in the gut-liver axis and implicated in chronic liver disease progression. We also provide an overview of innovative therapeutic approaches and current clinical trials aiming at targeting the gut-liver axis for the treatment of patients with chronic liver and/or intestinal diseases.

 Distribution. Russia (Kola Peninsula) (Hellén 1957).
 Remarks. Only a single specimen (holotype female) of this species is known (Hellén 1957; Tobias 1983; Koponen & Tobias 1989). Hellén (1957) did not indicate the number of specimens from which he described this species. However, it appears that the original description is based on one female. Therefore, the designation of a lectotype in Tobias (1983) is invalid because the single specimen is the holotype.

description: One-electron energy levels are studied for a configuration of two positive charges inside an octahedral cage, the vertices of the cage being occupied by atoms with a partially filled shell. Although ground states correspond to large separations, there are relatively low-lying states with large collision probabilities. Electromagnetic radiation fields used to excite the quantum collisional levels may provide a means to control nuclear reactions. However, given the scale of the excitation energies involved, this mechanism cannot provide an explanation for the unexplained ``cold fusion'' events.

description: In a cellular Internet of Things, burst transmissions from millions of machine type communications (MTC) devices can result in channel congestion. The main bottleneck in such scenario is inefficient random access channel (RACH) mechanism that is used to attach MTC devices to a base station (BS). To address this issue of congestion in RACH mechanism, 3GPP has proposed an extended access barring (3GPP-EAB) mechanism. However, several works indicate that the performance of the 3GPP-EAB mechanism can be further improved. In this work, a successive interference cancellation (SIC) based RACH mechanism is considered to significantly increase the success rate and reduce congestion. In the proposed mechanism, the devices are allowed to transmit repeatedly for a finite number of times in a given cycle, and thereafter, the success rate is improved by applying back-and-forth SIC at the BS. A novel probabilistic approach of the proposed mechanism is presented with all transition and steady-state probabilities. Further, the probability of SIC for a given slot is derived. Through extensive numerical results, it is shown that the proposed mechanism significantly outperforms the existing ones in terms of the success rate. Moreover, to obtain the maximum success rate, the optimum number of devices to be entered in a cycle is also calculated.

description: Background: Long-term outcome is determined not only by the acute critical illness but increasingly by the reduced functional reserve of pre-existing frailty. The patients with frailty currently account for one-third of the critically ill, resulting in higher mortality. There is evidence of how frailty affects the intrahospital functional trajectory of critically ill patients since prehospital status is often missing. Methods: In this prospective single-center cohort study at two interdisciplinary intensive care units (ICUs) at a university hospital in Germany, the frailty was assessed using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) in the adult patients with critical illness with an ICU stay >24 h. The functional status was assessed using the sum of the subdomains "Mobility" and "Transfer" of the Barthel Index (MTB) at three time points (pre-hospital, ICU discharge, and hospital discharge). Results: We included 1,172 patients with a median age of 75 years, of which 290 patients (25%) were frail. In a propensity score-matched cohort, the probability of MTB deterioration till hospital discharge did not differ in the patients with frailty (odds ratio (OR) 1.3 [95% CI 0.8-1.9], p = 0.301), confirmed in several sensitivity analyses in all the patients and survivors only. Conclusion: The patients with frailty have a reduced functional status. Their intrahospital functional trajectory, however, was not worse than those in non-frail patients, suggesting a rehabilitation potential of function in critically ill patients with frailty.

description: We study the two-field warm inflation models with a double quadratic potential and a linear temperature dependent dissipative coefficient. We derived the evolution equation of all kinds of perturbations without assuming slow-roll approximation, and obtained the curvature power spectrum at the end of inflation with a fully numerical method. Then we compute the scalar spectral index $n_s$, tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ for several representative potentials, and compare our results with observational data. At last, we use Planck data to constrain the parameters in our models. This work is a natural extension of single-field warm inflation, and the aim of this work is to present some features of multi-field warm inflation using a simple two-field model.

description: This study demonstrates the development of effective modified films for As(III) removal from aqueous solution. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were grafted by c (Sty/MAn) co-monomer using gamma irradiation. The grafted films were functionalized by six amine groups including semicarbazide, L-aspartic acid, 2-aminopyridine, thiosemicarbazide, hydroxylamine-HCl, and thiourea. The grafting was verified using FTIR that shows MAn carbonyl groups at 1860 and 1785 cm−1. The semicarbazide and L-aspartic acid functionalized films showed 100% and 75% removal efficiency, respectively, following the conditions of pH 7, 50 µg/mL As(III), 50 min contact time, and room temperature. The As(III) loaded chelating films treated with semicarbazide and L-aspartic acid were regenerated by contacting the films with 0.2 mol/L HCl solution for 90 min. The results show 100% release of the adsorbed As(III). The FTIR analysis of the regenerated films showed no change in the characteristic peaks, indicating the stability of film functionality in 0.2 mol/L HCl for 90 min. Additionally, the removal of As(III) using the regenerated films treated with semicarbazide or L-aspartic showed unaffected removal percentage up to eight adsorption-desorption regeneration cycles.

description: Background and Objectives: Neurological and psychiatric symptoms are frequent in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS). Here, we report on the clinical presentation of the first 100 patients who presented to our PCS Neurology outpatient clinic ≥ 12 weeks after the acute infection with SARS-CoV-2. To date, PCS is only defined by temporal connection to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Identification of clinical phenotypes and subgroups of PCS is urgently needed. Design: We assessed clinical data of our first 100 ambulatory patients regarding clinical presentations; self-questionnaires focusing on daytime sleepiness, mood, and fatigue; and a screening assessment for detecting cognitive impairment. Results: A total of 89% of the patients presenting to the Neurology outpatient clinic had an initially mild course of COVID-19 and had not been hospitalized. The majority of the patients were female (67 vs. 33% male). The most frequent symptom reported was cognitive impairment (72%). There were 30% of patients who reported cognitive deficits and scored below 26 points on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale. Fatigue (67%), headache (36%), and persisting hyposmia (36%) were also frequently reported; 5.5% of all patients showed signs of severe depression. Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of patient data of a PCS Neurology outpatient clinic. Neurological sequelae also exist for more than 3 months after mainly mild SARS-CoV-2 acute infections. The reported symptoms are in accordance with recently published data of hospitalized patients.

description: A (sub-)millimeter line and continuum study of the class I protostar Elias 29 in the Rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud is presented, whose goals are to understand the nature of this source, and to locate the ices that are abundantly present along this line of sight. Within 15-60" beams, several different components contribute to the line emission. Two different foreground clouds are detected, an envelope/disk system and a dense ridge of HCO+ rich material. The latter two components are spatially separated in millimeter interferometer maps. We analyze the envelope/disk system by using inside-out collapse and flared disk models. The disk is in a relatively face-on orientation (<60 degrees), which explains many of the remarkable observational features of Elias 29, such as its flat SED, its brightness in the near infrared, the extended components found in speckle interferometry observations, and its high velocity molecular outflow. It cannot account for the ices seen along the line of sight, however. A small fraction of the ices is present in a (remnant) envelope of mass 0.12-0.33 Msun, but most of the ices (~70%) are present in cool (T<40 K) quiescent foreground clouds. This explains the observed absence of thermally processed ices (crystallized H2O) toward Elias 29. Nevertheless, the temperatures could be sufficiently high to account for the low abundance of apolar (CO, N2, O2) ices. This work shows that it is crucial to obtain spectrally and spatially resolved information from single-dish and interferometric molecular gas observations in order to determine the nature of protostars and to interpret infrared ISO satellite observations of ices and silicates along a pencil beam.

description: Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), commonly caused by high energy trauma in young active patients, is frequently accompanied by traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although combined trauma results in inferior clinical outcomes and a higher mortality rate, the understanding of the pathophysiological interaction of co-occurring TSCI and TBI remains limited. This review provides a detailed overview of the local and systemic alterations due to TSCI and TBI, which severely affect the autonomic and sensory nervous system, immune response, the blood-brain and spinal cord barrier, local perfusion, endocrine homeostasis, posttraumatic metabolism, and circadian rhythm. Because currently developed mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapeutic strategies for TSCI provide only mild benefit, this review raises awareness of the impact of TSCI-TBI interaction on TSCI pathophysiology and MSC treatment. Therefore, we propose that unravelling the underlying pathophysiology of TSCI with concomitant TBI will reveal promising pharmacological targets and therapeutic strategies for regenerative therapies, further improving MSC therapy.

description: We evaluated a simple semi-quantitative (SSQ) method for determining pulmonary involvement in computed tomography (CT) scans of COVID-19 patients. The extent of lung involvement in the first available CT was assessed with the SSQ method and subjectively. We identified risk factors for the need of invasive ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and for time to death after infection. Additionally, the diagnostic performance of both methods was evaluated. With the SSQ method, a 10% increase in the affected lung area was found to significantly increase the risk for need of ICU treatment with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.68 and for invasive ventilation with an OR of 1.35. Male sex, age, and pre-existing chronic lung disease were also associated with higher risks. A larger affected lung area was associated with a higher instantaneous risk of dying (hazard ratio (HR) of 1.11) independently of other risk factors. SSQ measurement was slightly superior to the subjective approach with an AUC of 73.5% for need of ICU treatment and 72.7% for invasive ventilation. SSQ assessment of the affected lung in the first available CT scans of COVID-19 patients may support early identification of those with higher risks for need of ICU treatment, invasive ventilation, or death.

description: Background: While our knowledge of what motivates men who have sex with men (MSM) to use HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has grown in recent years, quantitative survey-based studies have not asked MSM explicitly to name their motivations. We did so using a qualitative open-ended question and aimed to categorise the responses and explore whether these were related to where MSM were located along a conceptual continuum of PrEP care. Methods: In a multicentre survey examining knowledge and use of PrEP among MSM in Berlin, Germany, we additionally asked an open-ended question about motivations for using or considering PrEP. Data were collected from 10/2017-04/2018. One researcher developed a thematic framework deductively from the literature and another did so inductively from the free-text data, and a merged framework was used to code responses independently. We used Fisher’s exact test to assess whether the frequency of motivations differed significantly between respondents using or considering PrEP. Results: Of 875 questionnaires, 473 were returned and 228 contained a free-text response. Motivations in the following categories were reported: (1) Safety/protection against HIV (80.2% of participants, including general safety; additional protection to condoms), (2) Mental well-being and quality of life (23.5%, including reduced anxiety; better quality of life), (3) Condom attitudes (18.9% intent not to use condoms), (4) Expectations about sexuality (14.4%, including worry-free sex or more pleasurable sex, with explicit mention of sex or sexuality), (5) Norms/social perspectives (0.8%). The difference in frequencies of motivations between those using or considering PrEP was not statistically significant. Conclusions: Safety and protection against HIV, particularly having additional protection if condoms fail, were the most common motivations for using or considering PrEP, followed by mental well-being and quality of life. Many respondents reported several motivations, and responses overall were heterogeneous. This suggests that approaches to increase PrEP uptake that focus exclusively on its effectiveness in preventing HIV are unlikely to be as successful as a holistic approach that emphasises multiple motivations and how these fit into the broader sexual and psychological health of MSM.

description: This paper presents a survey of microwave front-end receivers installed at radio telescopes throughout the World. This unprecedented analysis was conducted as part of a review of front-end developments for Italian radio telescopes, initiated by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics in 2016. Fifteen international radio telescopes have been selected to be representative of the instrumentation used for radio astronomical observations in the frequency domain from 300 MHz to 116 GHz. A comprehensive description of the existing receivers is presented and their characteristics are compared and discussed. The observing performances of the complete receiving chains are also presented. An overview of on-going developments illustrates and anticipates future trends in front-end projects to meet the most ambitious scientific research goals.

description: Let $p$ be a polynomial in several non-commuting variables with coefficients in a field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic. It has been conjectured that for any $n$, for $p$ multilinear, the image of $p$ evaluated on the set $M_n(K)$ of $n$ by $n$ matrices is either zero, or the set of scalar matrices, or the set ${\rm sl}_n(K)$ of matrices of trace 0, or all of $M_n(K)$. This expository paper describes research on this problem and related areas. We discuss the solution of this conjecture for $n=2$ in Section 2, some decisive results for $n=3$ in Section 3, and partial information for $n\geq 3$ in Section 4, also for non-multilinear polynomials. In addition we consider the case of $K$ not algebraically closed, and polynomials evaluated on other finite dimensional simple algebras (in particular the algebra of the quaternions). This review recollects results and technical material of our previous papers, as well as new results of other researches, and applies them in a new context. This article also explains the role of the Deligne trick, which is related to some nonassociative cases in new situations, underlying our earlier, more straightforward approach. We pose some problems for future generalizations and point out possible generalizations in the present state of art, and in the other hand providing counterexamples showing the boundaries of generalizations.

description: We calculate the equation of state of isospin-symmetric nuclear matter in the three-loop approximation of chiral perturbation theory. The contributions to the energy per particle $\bar E(k_f)$ from one- and two-pion exchange diagrams are ordered in powers of the Fermi momentum $k_f$ (modulo functions of $k_f /m_π$). It is demonstrated that, already at order ${\cal O}(k_f^4)$, two-pion exchange produces realistic nuclear binding. The underlying saturation mechanism is surprisingly simple (in the chiral limit), namely the combination of an attractive $k_f^3$-term and a repulsive $k_f^4$-term. The empirical saturation point and the nuclear compressibility $K\simeq 250 $MeV are well reproduced at order ${\cal O}(k_f^5)$ with a momentum cut-off of $Λ\simeq 0.65$ GeV which parametrizes short-range dynamics. No further short-distance terms are required in our calculation of nuclear matter. In the same framework we calculate the density-dependent asymmetry energy and find $A_0\simeq 34 $MeV at the saturation point, in good agreement with the empirical value. The pure neutron matter equation of state is also in fair qualitative agreement with sophisticated many-body calculations and a resummation result of effective field theory, but only for low neutron densities $ρ_n <0.25 $fm$^{-3}$.

description: Aims: To compare the effects of Ayurvedic and conventional nutritional therapy in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Methods: Sixty-nine patients with IBS were randomized to Ayurvedic (n = 35) or conventional nutritional therapy according to the recommendations of the German Nutrition Society including the low-FODMAP diet (n = 34). Study visits took place at baseline and after 1, 3, and 6 months. The primary outcome was IBS symptom severity (IBS-SSS) after 3 months; secondary outcomes included stress (CPSS), anxiety and depression (HADS), well-being (WHO-5) and IBS-specific quality of life (IBS-QOL). A repeated measures general linear model (GLM) for intent-to-treat-analyses was applied in this explorative study. Results: After 3 months, estimated marginal means for IBS-SSS reductions were 123.8 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 92.8-154.9; p < 0.001] in the Ayurvedic and 72.7 (95% CI = 38.8-106.7; p < 0.001) in the conventional group. The IBS-SSS reduction was significantly higher in the Ayurveda group compared to the conventional therapy group (estimated marginal mean = 51.1; 95% CI = 3.8-98.5; p = 0.035) and clinically meaningful. Sixty-eight percentage of the variance in IBS-SSS reduction after 3 months can be explained by treatment, 6.5% by patients' expectations for their therapies and 23.4% by IBS-SSS at pre-intervention. Both therapies are equivalent in their contribution to the outcome variance. The higher the IBS-SSS score at pre-intervention and the larger the patients' expectations, the greater the IBS-SSS reduction. There were no significant group differences in any secondary outcome measures. No serious adverse events occurred in either group. Conclusion: Patients with IBS seem to benefit significantly from Ayurvedic or conventional nutritional therapy. The results warrant further studies with longer-term follow-ups and larger sample sizes.

description: Genus Pambolus Haliday sensu stricto
 Pambolus s. s. consists of 14 species and is represented in the Afrotropical, Australasian, Neotropical, and Palearctic regions (Yu et al. 2005). The females of all species in this genus are micropterous or brachypterous compared to macropterous females of the genus Phaenodus Foerster; the males of both genera are macropterous except for Phaenodus achterbergi Belokobylskij (Belokobylskij 1986; Belokobylskij 1993b). The difficulty of collecting brachypterous, micropterous, and apterous females is likely the reason for the paucity of information about species in this genus and the small number of specimens in collections. However, the genus is likely much more species-rich than currently known. Two new species are described below from arid and mountainous areas of the Palearctic Region.

Improvement on the metric reconstruction scheme in the Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli formalism

description: We study master variables in the Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli formalism. We show that a specific choice of new variables is suitable for studying perturbation theory from the viewpoint of radiation reaction calculations. With explicit definition of the improved master variables in terms of components of metric perturbations, we present the master equations, with source terms, and metric reconstruction formulas. In the scheme using these new variables, we do not need any time and radial integrations except for solving the master equation. We also show that the master variable for even parity modes which satisfies the same homogeneous equation as the odd parity case, obtained via Chandrasekhar transformation, does not have the good property in this sense.

description: To guarantee the security of quantum key distribution (QKD), several assumptions on light sources must be satisfied. For example, each random bit information is precisely encoded on an optical pulse and the photon-number probability distribution of the pulse is exactly known. Unfortunately, however, it is hard to check if all the assumptions are really met in practice, and it is preferable that we have minimal number of device assumptions. In this paper, we adopt the differential-phase-shift (DPS) QKD protocol and drastically mitigate the requirements on light sources. Specifically, we only assume the independence among emitted pulses, the independence of the vacuum emission probability from a chosen bit, and upper bounds on the tail distribution function of the total photon number in a single block of pulses for single, two and three photons. Remarkably, no other detailed characterizations, such as the amount of phase modulation, are required. Our security proof significantly relaxes demands for light sources, which paves a route to guarantee implementation security with simple verification of the devices.
