description: Four NASA Science and Technology Definition Teams have been convened in order to develop and study four mission concepts to be evaluated by the upcoming 2020 Decadal Survey. The Lynx x-ray surveyor mission is one of these four large missions. Lynx will couple fine angular resolution (<0.5 arcsec HPD) x-ray optics with large effective area (~2 m^2 at 1 keV), thus enabling exploration within a unique scientific parameter space. One of the primary soft x-ray imaging instruments being baselined for this mission concept is the high-definition x-ray imager, HDXI. This instrument would use a finely pixelated silicon sensor array to achieve fine angular resolution imaging over a wide field of view (~22 x 22 arcmin). Silicon sensors enable large-format/small-pixel devices, radiation tolerant designs, and high quantum efficiency across the entire soft x-ray bandpass. To fully exploit the large collecting area of Lynx (~30x Chandra), with negligible or minimal x-ray event pile-up, the HDXI will be capable of much faster frame rates than current x-ray imagers. We summarize the planned requirements, capabilities, and development status of the HDXI instrument, and associated papers in this special edition will provide further details on some specific detector options.

description: A timing analysis of VHE gamma-ray observations of Cen X-3 taken with the University of Durham Mark 6 telescope was performed, using both Rayleigh and Bayesian statistics. Data from only 1 observation produced evidence for periodicity, in a 'soft' cut data set, with an overall chance probability <0.01 and blueshifted by 6.6ms from the nominal second harmonic of the pulse period. We show that the disappearance of the Rayleigh peak in the fully cut data set is consistent with a gamma-ray origin hypothesis. The second part of the paper considers theoretical models that could explain the existing data of Cen X-3 in high and very high energy gamma-rays. On the basis of energetics, all reasonable options for gamma-ray production must be connected to jets emerging from the inner accretion disc around the neutron star. One principal option is a large scale source, with R_s~10^13-14cm, assuming effective acceleration of electrons by shocks produced by the interaction of the jets with the dense atmosphere of the binary. The bulk of gamma-ray features could be explained by this model except modulations at the pulsar period, which would require a source with R_s<10^11cm. We consider hadronic and leptonic models for the formation of such a compact object. Both models predict the episodes of pulsed emission may be rare, of typical duration ~few hours, and the frequency of pulsations should be significantly shifted from the nominal frequency of the X-ray pulsar. The opportunities to distinguish between different models using future gamma-ray observations of this X-ray binary are discussed. (v. abridged)

Development of hill farming in Nepal : with special reference to Tanahu District

Subjects: subject: Hill farming Economic aspects Nepal

description: There is an economic imbalance and socio-economic disparity between the Hills and the Tarai (the plains). The majority of the Hill farmers of the country are operating at a minimum subsistence level due to increasing population, decreasing size of land holdings, soil erosion and deforestation. Under such conditions it was considered worthwhile to undertake a study aimed at exploring the possibility of increasing Hill farmers' income by the reallocation of available resources. This study attempts to explore the possibilities for maximizing incomes of Hill farmers within the limits of the available resources. Feasible profit maximizing farm plans are presented in the hope that this will indicate the extent to which there is economic and technical 'slack' on the Hill farms and potential for raising the standard of living. The analytical technique employed is linear programming. The optimal farm plans show that the selected farmers in the study are allocating their resources close to the optimal in the existing situation. However, it is possible to increase the incomes of these farmers by provision of additional resources. Inadequacy of cash to adopt optimal farm plans suggests the key role of production credit. Credit availability had a bigger impact on increasing farm incomes than resource reallocation per se. This was examined via parametric programming. On the basis of the findings, specific recommendations are made. Major objectives of national planning in Nepal are to achieve national self-sufficiency in agricultural production and to improve the standard of living of small farmers. To meet these objectives, the financial institutions must give some priority to small farmers. The main object of the thesis is to demonstrate the use of LP as a farm planning technique under peasant farming situations. The direction in which efforts to extend the applicability of similar studies on a wider sample of Hill farms would provide policy guidelines that would be of great practical value. Simple budgeting and gross margin analysis will still be important in the majority of farm situations but given the availability of computer facilities, reliable and adequate data, the linear programming technique is a more useful and efficient technique.

description: The core helium-flash in low-mass stars with extreme mass loss occurs after the tip of the RGB, when the H-rich envelope is very thin. The low efficiency of the H-shell source enables the He-flash driven convective zone to penetrate H-rich layers and trigger a thermonuclear runaway, resulting in a subsequent surface enrichment with He and C. In this work we present the first full computations of Population II low-mass stellar models through this phase. Models experiencing this dredge-up event are significantly hotter than their counterparts with H-rich envelopes, which makes them promising candidates for explaining the existence of stars observed beyond the canonical blue end of the horizontal branch ("blue hook stars"). Moreover, this temperature difference could explain the observed gap in M_V between extreme blue horizontal-branch and blue hook stars. A first comparison with spectroscopic observations of blue hook stars in the globular cluster omega Cen is also presented.

description: We consider the energy and helicity densities of circularly polarised light within a lossless chiral medium, characterised by the chirality parameter $β$. A form for the helicity density is introduced, valid to first order in $β$, that produces a helicity of $\pm\hbar$ per photon for right and left circular polarisation, respectively. This is in contrast to the result obtained if we use the form of the helicity density employed for linear media. We examine the helicity continuity equation, and show that this modified form of the helicity density is required for consistency with the dual symmetry condition of a chiral medium with a constant value of $ε/μ$. Extending the results to arbitrary order in $β$ establishes an exact relationship between the energy and helicity densities in a chiral medium.

description: We report results on the kinematics of Milky Way (MW) globular clusters (GCs) based on updated space velocities for nearly the entire GC population. We found that a 3D space with the semi-major axis, the eccentricity and the inclination of the orbit with respect to the MW plane as its axes is helpful in order to dig into the formation of the GC system. We find that GCs formed in-situ show a clear correlation between their eccentricities and their orbital inclination in the sense that clusters with large eccentricities also have large inclinations. These GCs also show a correlation between their distance to the MW center and their eccentricity. Accreted GCs do not exhibit a relationship between eccentricity and inclination, but span a wide variety of inclinations at eccentricities larger than ~ 0.5. Finally, we computed the velocity anisotropy "beta" of the GC system and found for GCs formed in-situ that "beta" decreases from ~ 0.8 down to 0.3 from the outermost regions towards the MW center, but remains fairly constant (0.7-0.9) for accreted ones. These findings can be explained if GCs formed from gas that collapsed radially in the outskirts, with preference for relative high infall angles. As the material reached the rotating forming disk, it became more circular and moved with lower inclination relative to the disk. A half of the GC population was accreted and deposited in orbits covering the entire range of energies from the outer halo to the bulge.

description: ABSTRACT

This paper examined and analyzed the impacts of small entrepreneurship development on poverty alleviation in Somalia. Survey data collection was conducted using questionnaire technique. The respondents in this study were 80 business entrepreneurs in Kismayo, Somalia, who had a direct and responsible role in the daily operations of the entrepreneurial ventures. The method of data analysis used was descriptive statistics and correlation analysis using SPSS 23. The study found weak positive relationship between entrepreneurship development and poverty alleviation. However, small entrepreneurship development was measured different types such; access to capital, entrepreneurial training and education, and business environment. The Sig. or P-value was less enough, suggesting that the variables indicated that the computed R-value were (r=0.084), (r=0.042) and (r=0.214), this indicates that there were weak and moderate positive correlation between entrepreneurship development and poverty reduction. However, it is essential to note that the correlation is weak, this means that small entrepreneurship development cannot play a significant role in the economic growth, job creation and poverty alleviation in Kismayo, Somalia.

description: Many jurisdictions use per se limits to define cannabis-impaired driving. Previous studies, however, suggest that THC concentrations in biological matrices do not reliably reflect cannabis dose and are poorly correlated with magnitude of driving impairment. Here, we first review a range of concerns associated with per se limits for THC. We then use data from a recent clinical trial to test the validity of a range of extant blood and oral fluid THC per se limits in predicting driving impairment during a simulated driving task. Simulated driving performance was assessed in 14 infrequent cannabis users at two timepoints (30 min and 3.5 h) under three different conditions, namely controlled vaporization of 125 mg (i) THC-dominant (11% THC; <1% CBD), (ii) THC/CBD equivalent (11% THC; 11% CBD), and (iii) placebo (<1% THC & CBD) cannabis. Plasma and oral fluid samples were collected before each driving assessment. We examined whether per se limits of 1.4 and 7 ng/mL THC in plasma (meant to approximate 1 and 5 ng/mL whole blood) and 2 and 5 ng/mL THC in oral fluid reliably predicted impairment (defined as an increase in standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP) of >2 cm relative to placebo). For all participants, plasma and oral fluid THC concentrations were over the per se limits used 30 min after vaporizing THC-dominant or THC/CBD equivalent cannabis. However, 46% of participants failed to meet SDLP criteria for driving impairment. At 3.5 h post-vaporization, 57% of participants showed impairment, despite having low concentrations of THC in both blood (median = 1.0 ng/mL) and oral fluid (median = 1.0 ng/mL). We highlight two individual cases illustrating how (i) impairment can be minimal in the presence of a positive THC result, and (ii) impairment can be profound in the presence of a negative THC result. There appears to be a poor and inconsistent relationship between magnitude of impairment and THC concentrations in biological samples, meaning that per se limits cannot reliably discriminate between impaired from unimpaired drivers. There is a pressing need to develop improved methods of detecting cannabis intoxication and impairment.

Wage structure in the rubber estates in West Malaysia

Subjects: subject: Wages Rubber plantation workers Malaysia

description: Economic literature is full of general theoretical discussions about the determination of wages, but there is, relatively speaking, a dismal shortage of detailed factual studies or discussions about wages in labour markets in the less developed economies. This study on the Wage Structure in the Rubber Estates in West Malaysia tries to fill a little part of this gap. The study is divided into two parts. The first deals with the findings of a sample survey conducted on about 500 workers. A detailed description of the workers' earnings structure, at one point of time, highlighted the importance of the union-management agreements as a proximate determinant. This was supported by other information on the low rate of mobility amongst the estate workers and the increasing levels of unemployment amongst the estate population. This finding raised questions on the role of unionisation over a period of time, as distinct from that at a point of time, on the industry's wage levels (and therefore on the industry's wage structure). It also raised questions' on the influence of the Union's wage policy on the industry's unemployment levels. These questions were examined in the second part of the study. The examination confirmed the importance of the Union in determining the wage levels (and therefore of the wage structure) in the estates, but it rejected the probability that the Union was chiefly responsible for the unemployment problem in the estates. A summing-up chapter has been left out because this would merely repeat materials included more appropriately elsewhere in the study. Almost all the materials discussed in Part I are original. These add on to the existing knowledge of Malaysia. Much of the time spent in the field and in the analysis was necessarily taken up by this section. The materials in Part II are partly original and partly secondary, but their relationship to the industry's wage and unemployment levels has been attempted for the first time in an academic study. The interpretation in Part I is fairly definitive, but that in Part II is not as definitive mainly because of incomplete information and because much more time and money than available would have been required to collect this information. In the past, the lack of published information and the almost insurmountable difficulties of accessibility to primary data (for a single unofficial investigator) have been amongst the main factors deterring research scholars from pursuing the type of questions raised for Part II. Although these difficulties still exist, it is considered preferable to discuss such problems with whatever limited information is available than to wait until more information can be obtained (if ever) for them to be examined more scientifically.

description: The historical background to the 1969 Australian- Indonesian Archaeological Expedition to Sulawesi Selatan is outlined and its aims discussed in relation to previous work carried out in the region during the first half of the twentieth century. Archaeological research in this area of Southeast Asia was seen as being relevant to questions in Australian prehistory. The two major sites excavated were Leang Burung 1 (near Maros) and Batu Ejaya (near Bantaeng). The artefacts collected from these sites, which have been lent to the Australian National University by the Republic of Indonesia, form the basis of the following analysis. Leang Burung 1 is considered first. At this site the limestone geomorphology of the Maros area proved to be an important factor in the survival of archaeological material. The artefacts were analysed in classes of six main tool types and waste flakes and cores were examined for additional technological information. Pottery and bone tools are discussed briefly. Batu Ejaya 1 artefacts are analysed in a similar fashion. The data from this site are also considered in relation to the artefacts from the nearby site of Panganreang Tudea, which were excavated in 1937 and are now housed in the Museum Pusat, Jakarta. A sample of artefacts from this collection was examined in Jakarta in 1979. Finally, results of analysis of the collections from Leang Burung 1, Batu Ejaya 1 and Panganreang Tudea are compared with published results from other well documented sites (Ulu Leang 1 and Leang Burung 2) in the Maros region, which are presently the research concern of I.C. Glover. A review of all the sites discussed in this thesis then attempts to set what is known about the prehistory of Sulawesi Selatan in an archaeological sequence which extends into the context of the early proto-history of island Southeast Asia. The implications for the wider region touching Australia are discussed briefly in conclusion.

description: In support of the growing interest in quantum computing experimentation, programmers need new tools to write quantum algorithms as program code. Compared to debugging classical programs, debugging quantum programs is difficult because programmers have limited ability to probe the internal states of quantum programs; those states are difficult to interpret even when observations exist; and programmers do not yet have guidelines for what to check for when building quantum programs. In this work, we present quantum program assertions based on statistical tests on classical observations. These allow programmers to decide if a quantum program state matches its expected value in one of classical, superposition, or entangled types of states. We extend an existing quantum programming language with the ability to specify quantum assertions, which our tool then checks in a quantum program simulator. We use these assertions to debug three benchmark quantum programs in factoring, search, and chemistry. We share what types of bugs are possible, and lay out a strategy for using quantum programming patterns to place assertions and prevent bugs.

Gravitational lens time delays for distant supernovae: break the degeneracy between radial mass profiles and the Hubble constant

description: An attempt to measure the Hubble constant with gravitational lens time delays is often limited by the strong degeneracy between radial mass profiles of lens galaxies and the Hubble constant. We show that strong gravitational lensing of type Ia supernovae breaks this degeneracy; the standard candle nature of type Ia supernova luminosity function allows one to measure the magnification factor directly, and this information is essential to constrain radial mass profiles and the Hubble constant separately. Our numerical simulation demonstrates that the Hubble constant can be determined with \sim 5% accuracy from only several lens events if magnification factors are used as constraints. Therefore, distant supernova survey is a promising way to measure the global Hubble constant independently with the local estimates.

description: We prove existence of harmonic coordinates for the nonlinear Laplacian of a Finsler manifold and apply them in a proof of the Myers--Steenrod theorem for Finsler manifolds. Different from the Riemannian case, these coordinates are not suitable for studying optimal regularity of the fundamental tensor, nevertheless, we obtain some partial results in this direction when the Finsler metric is Berwald.

description: We calculate the accretion disc temperature profiles, disc luminosities and boundary layer luminosities for rapidly rotating neutron stars considering the full effect of general relativity. We compare the theoretical values of these quantities with their values inferred from EXOSAT data for four low mass X-ray binary sources: XB 1820-30, GX 17+2, GX 9+1 and GX 349+2 and constrain the values of several properties of these sources. According to our calculations, the neutron stars in GX 9+1 and GX 349+2 are rapidly rotating and stiffer equations of state are unfavoured.

description: Motorcyclists are frequently involved in road traffic accidents and may suffer polytraumatic injuries, contributing a substantial burden on healthcare systems particularly in lower-middle-income countries. This study aimed to describe patterns of injury, in-hospital course, and outcomes of road accident trauma in motorcyclists, including polytrauma, at a Trauma Facility in Pakistan. A retrospective review was conducted by using relevant trauma codes to extract data from records for all victims presenting with motorcycle trauma between January 2018 and June 2019, to a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. Data collected included victim characteristics, mechanism of accident, patterns of traumatic injury, management, in-hospital complications, and outcomes. Polytrauma was defined as traumatic injuries in two or more anatomic regions with abbreviated injury scale (AIS) ≥ 3. Multivariable logistic regression, adjusted for age, gender, and mechanism of accident, was performed to identify in-hospital complications and outcomes associated with polytrauma. A total of 514 victims, 90.9% male and 39.5% aged between 18-30 years, were included in this study. The victim was the motorcycle driver in 94.6% of cases. The most common mechanism of accident was motorcycle vs. other motor vehicle (56.2%). Patients were mostly admitted under the services of Orthopedic Surgery (50.8%) and Neurosurgery (30%), with common sites of injury being the lower extremity (42.6%), head (38.1%), and upper extremity (26.8%). Polytrauma occurred in 19.5% of victims. Patients were managed surgically in 77.3% of cases, with the most common procedure being open reduction of fractures (48.1%). Blood transfusion was required in 4.1% of patients. The commonest in-hospital complication was acute kidney injury (23.7%). The median length of stay was 3 days, and 4.1% of patients expired in the hospital. Polytrauma was significantly associated with the need for blood transfusion (2.642 [1.053–6.630]), AKI (2.212 [1.339–3.652]) and hospital length of stay (1.059 [1.025–1.094]), but not with mortality. Although orthopedic injuries occur most frequently in motorcycle trauma, polytrauma necessitating multi-disciplinary management and complicating hospital stay is also common. Understanding patterns of injuries and management in motorcycle trauma will enable trauma teams in a developing country like Pakistan to devise evidence-based management protocols, especially for cases of polytrauma.

description: Background: To investigate whether vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 is associated with the onset of retinal vascular occlusive disease (RVOD). Methods: In this multicentre study, data from patients with central and branch retinal vein occlusion (CRVO and BRVO), central and branch retinal artery occlusion (CRAO and BRAO), and anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION) were retrospectively collected during a 2-month index period (1 June-31 July 2021) according to a defined protocol. The relation to any previous vaccination was documented for the consecutive case series. Numbers of RVOD and COVID-19 vaccination were investigated in a case-by-case analysis. A case-control study using age- and sex-matched controls from the general population (study participants from the Gutenberg Health Study) and an adjusted conditional logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results: Four hundred and twenty-one subjects presenting during the index period (61 days) were enrolled: one hundred and twenty-one patients with CRVO, seventy-five with BRVO, fifty-six with CRAO, sixty-five with BRAO, and one hundred and four with AION. Three hundred and thirty-two (78.9%) patients had been vaccinated before the onset of RVOD. The vaccines given were BNT162b2/BioNTech/Pfizer (n = 221), followed by ChadOx1/AstraZeneca (n = 57), mRNA-1273/Moderna (n = 21), and Ad26.COV2.S/Johnson & Johnson (n = 11; unknown n = 22). Our case-control analysis integrating population-based data from the GHS yielded no evidence of an increased risk after COVID-19 vaccination (OR = 0.93; 95% CI: 0.60-1.45, p = 0.75) in connection with a vaccination within a 4-week window. Conclusions: To date, there has been no evidence of any association between SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and a higher RVOD risk.
