description: It is often assumed that voluntary sustainability standards – such as Fairtrade – could not only improve the socioeconomic wellbeing of smallholder farmers in developing countries but could also help to reduce negative health and environmental impacts of agricultural production. The empirical evidence is thin, as most previous studies on the impact of sustainability standards only focused on economic indicators, such as prices, yields, and incomes. Here, we argue that Fairtrade and other sustainability standards can affect agrochemical input use through various mechanisms with possible positive and negative effects. We use data from farmers and rural workers in Cote d’Ivoire to analyze effects of Fairtrade certification on fertilizer and pesticide use, as well as on human health and environmental toxicity. Fairtrade increases chemical input quantities and aggregated levels of toxicity. Nevertheless, Fairtrade reduces the incidence of pesticide-related acute health symptoms among farmers and workers. Certified cooperatives are more likely to offer training and other services related to the safe handling of pesticides and occupational health, which can reduce negative externalities in spite of higher input quantities. These results suggest that simplistic assumptions about the health and environmental effects of sustainability standards may be inappropriate.

description: Einleitung: In der vorliegenden Promotionsarbeit soll das Fehlbildungsspektrum und Outcome von Feten mit Reduktions- und Duplikationsanomalien der Extremitäten dargestellt werden.
Methode: Es wurden insgesamt 91 Feten mit Reduktions- und Duplikationsanomalien der Extremitäten, die in den letzten 18 Jahren in der Praxis für Pränatalmedizin Dortmund diagnostiziert wurden, untersucht. Die Verteilung der fetalen Extremitätenfehlbildungen, der damit assoziierten zusätzlichen Anomalien und das Outcome wurden ausgewertet.
Ergebnisse: In der Studie wurden die Krankheitsbilder identifiziert, die häufig mit Reduktions- und Duplikationsanomalien der Extremitäten assoziiert sind. Dazu gehören Aneuploidien wie Trisomie 18 und 13, genetische Syndrome wie Holt- Oram-, TAR-, Roberts-, Cornelia de Lange-, Meckel Gruber-, Bardet Biedl-, McKusick Kaufman-, Rubinstein- Taybi-, Kurzrippen- Polydaktylie- Syndrom. Wir fanden auch Fehlbildungsassoziationen (FACTO, VACTERL) bei denen noch keine genetisch nachweisbaren Einzelgen-Mutationen bekannt sind. Das Outcome war abhängig von den assoziierten Malformationen sowie dem Vorliegen von Chromosomenstörungen. 
Diskussion: Die große Anzahl von multiplen Ursachen der Extremitätenfehlbildungen repräsentiert die breite ätiologische Heterogenität. Angeborene Extremitätendefekte können isoliert, mit anderen Malformationen oder als Teil eines Syndroms auftreten. Die Ätiologie von Extremitätenanomalien ist sehr komplex und betrifft u. a die Funktionsstörung des einzelnen Gens, chromosomale Anomalien, maternale Krankheiten und Expositionen von teratogenen Faktoren. In vielen Fällen bleibt die Pathogenese jedoch unbekannt.

description: Questo lavoro si propone di esaminare la tormentata sezione su decollo decollavi del capitolo sul perfetto dell’Ars di Diomede (Diom. gramm. i 365, 4-9). Per illustrare come il significato di questo verbo sia mutato nel tempo (decipio per i veteres, ‘decapito’ per i ‘moderni’). Diomede utilizza tre citazioni: la prima è un verso dei Captivi di Plauto, la seconda proviene dal dodicesimo libro delle Satire di Lucilio, la terza appartiene al secondo libro delle Epitomae di Fenestella. La prima parte dell’articolo riguarda la citazione di Plauto, il cui testo presenta numerose criticità testuali e interpretative. La seconda parte si concentra sulla citazione di Lucilio, la cui interpretazione varia a seconda della prospettiva sintattica e semantica adottata. La terza esamina la citazione dall’Epitomae di Fenestella, opera di cui abbiamo notizia solo grazie a Diomede.

This paper aims to examine the problematic section on the verb decollo decollavi in the chapter concerning the perfect tense of Diomedes’ Ars (Diom. gramm. I 365, 4-9). To illustrate how the meaning of this verb has changed over time  ̶  from decipio for the veteres to ‘behead’ for the moderns  ̶  Diomedes employs three quotations: the first from a line in Plautus’ Captivi, the second from the twelfth book of Lucilius’ Satires, and a third one from the second book of Fenestella’s Epitomae. The first section of the article addresses Plautus’ quotation, whose text presents textual and interpretative challenges. The second part focuses on Lucilius’ quotation, the interpretation of which varies depending on the syntactic and semantic perspective adopted.

The Effects of Dark Matter Decay and Annihilation on the High-Redshift 21 cm Background

description: The radiation background produced by the 21 cm spin-flip transition of neutral hydrogen at high redshifts can be a pristine probe of fundamental physics and cosmology. At z~30-300, the intergalactic medium (IGM) is visible in 21 cm absorption against the cosmic microwave background (CMB), with a strength that depends on the thermal (and ionization) history of the IGM. Here we examine the constraints this background can place on dark matter decay and annihilation, which could heat and ionize the IGM through the production of high-energy particles. Using a simple model for dark matter decay, we show that, if the decay energy is immediately injected into the IGM, the 21 cm background can detect energy injection rates >10^{-24} eV cm^{-3} sec^{-1}. If all the dark matter is subject to decay, this allows us to constrain dark matter lifetimes <10^{27} sec. Such energy injection rates are much smaller than those typically probed by the CMB power spectra. The expected brightness temperature fluctuations at z~50 are a fraction of a mK and can vary from the standard calculation by up to an order of magnitude, although the difference can be significantly smaller if some of the decay products free stream to lower redshifts. For self-annihilating dark matter, the fluctuation amplitude can differ by a factor <2 from the standard calculation at z~50. Note also that, in contrast to the CMB, the 21 cm probe is sensitive to both the ionization fraction and the IGM temperature, in principle allowing better constraints on the decay process and heating history. We also show that strong IGM heating and ionization can lead to an enhanced H_2 abundance, which may affect the earliest generations of stars and galaxies.

description: We have measured antiferromagnetic resonance (AFMR) frequency-field dependences for aluminum-manganese garnet Mn$_{3}$Al$_{2}$Ge$_{3}$O$_{12}$ at frequencies from 1 to 125 GHz and at the fields up to 60 kOe. Three AFMR modes were observed for all orientations, their zero field gaps are about 40 and 70 GHz. Andreev-Marchenko hydrodynamic theory [Sov. Phys. Usp. 130, 39 (1980)] well describes experimental frequency-field dependences. We have observed hysteresis of resonance absorption as well as history dependence of resonance absorption near gap frequencies below 10 kOe in all three measured field orientations, which are supposedly due to the sample domain structure. Observation of the AFMR signal at the frequencies from 1 to 5 GHz allows to estimate repulsion of nuclear and electron modes of spin precession in the vicinity of spin-reorientation transition at H||[100].

description: BACKGROUND: End-stage lung disease patients who require a thoracic artificial lung (TAL) must be extubated and rehabilitated prior to lung transplantation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate hemodynamics and TAL function under simulated rest and exercise conditions in normal and pulmonary hypertension sheep models. METHODS: The TAL, the MC3 Biolung (MC3, Inc, Ann Arbor, MI), was attached between the pulmonary artery and left atrium in nine normal sheep and eight sheep with chronic pulmonary hypertension. An adjustable band was placed around the distal pulmonary artery to control the percentage of cardiac output (CO) diverted to the TAL. Pulmonary system hemodynamics and TAL function were assessed at baseline (no flow to the TAL) and with approximately 60%, 75%, and 90% of CO diverted to the TAL. Intravenous dobutamine (0, 2, and 5 mcg . kg(-1). min(-1)) was used to simulate rest and exercise conditions. RESULTS: At 0 and 2 mcg . kg(-1). min(-1), CO did not change significantly with flow diversion to the TAL for both models. At 5 mcg . kg(-1). min(-1), CO decreased with increasing TAL flow up to 28% +/- 5% in normal sheep and 23% +/- 5% in pulmonary hypertension sheep at 90% flow diversion to the artificial lung. In normal sheep, the pulmonary system zeroth harmonic impedance modulus, Z(0), increased with increasing flow diversion. In hypertensive sheep, Z(0) decreased at 60% and 75% flow diversion and returned to baseline levels at 90%. The TAL outlet blood oxygen saturation was 95% or greater under all conditions. CONCLUSIONS: Pulmonary artery to left atrial TAL use will not decrease CO during rest or mild exercise but may not allow more vigorous exercise.

description: I suggest a new extension of the SM by introducing a dark sector which has several new particles and a local $U(1)_{D}$ symmetry. The dark particles bring about the new and interesting physics beyond the SM. The model can generate the tiny neutrino mass by a hybrid see-saw mechanism, achieve the leptogenesis at the TeV scale, and account for the cold dark matter. All of the three things collectively arise from the dark sector. In particular, it is very feasible to test the model predictions and probe the dark sector in near future experiments.

description: Purpose: Mismatches between pump output and venous return in a continuous-flow ventricular assist device may elicit episodes of ventricular suction. This research describes a series of in vitro experiments to characterize the operating conditions under which the EVAHEART centrifugal blood pump (Sun Medical Technology Research Corp., Nagano, Japan) can be operated with minimal concern regarding left ventricular (LV) suction. Methods: The pump was interposed into a pneumatically driven pulsatile mock circulatory system (MCS) in the ventricular apex to aorta configuration. Under varying conditions of preload, afterload, and systolic pressure, the speed of the pump was increased step-wise until suction was observed. Identification of suction was based on pump inlet pressure. Results: In the case of reduced LV systolic pressure, reduced preload (=10 mmHg), and afterload (=60 mmHg), suction was observed for speeds =2,200 rpm. However, suction did not occur at any speed (up to a maximum speed of 2,400 rpm) when preload was kept within 10-14 mmHg and afterload =80 mmHg. Although in vitro experiments cannot replace in vivo models, the results indicated that ventricular suction can be avoided if sufficient preload and afterload are maintained. Conclusion: Conditions of hypovolemia and/or hypotension may increase the risk of suction at the highest speeds, irrespective of the native ventricular systolic pressure. However, in vitro guidelines are not directly transferrable to the clinical situation; therefore, patient-specific evaluation is recommended, which can be aided by ultrasonography at various points in the course of support.

description: We establish braided tensor equivalences among module categories over the twisted quantum double of a finite group defined by an extension of a group H by an abelian group, with 3-cocycle inflated from a 3-cocycle on H. We also prove that the canonical ribbon structure of the module category of any twisted quantum double of a finite group is preserved by braided tensor equivalences. We give two main applications: first, if G is an extra-special 2-group of width at least 2, we show that the quantum double of G twisted by a 3-cocycle w is gauge equivalent to a twisted quantum double of an elementary abelian 2-group if, and only if, w^2 is trivial; second, we discuss the gauge equivalence classes of twisted quantum doubles of groups of order 8, and classify the braided tensor equivalence classes of these quasi-triangular quasi-bialgebras. It turns out that there are exactly 20 such equivalence classes.

description: Ventricular assist devices (VADs) have significantly impacted the treatment of adult cardiac failure, but few options exist for pediatric patients. This has motivated our group to develop an implantable magnetically levitated rotodynamic VAD (PediaFlow®) for 3-20 kg patients. The second prototype design of the PediaFlow (PF2) is 56% smaller than earlier prototypes, and achieves 0.5-1.5 L/min blood flow rates. In vitro hemodynamic performance and hemolysis testing were performed with analog blood and whole ovine blood, respectively. In vivo evaluation was performed in an ovine model to evaluate hemocompatibility and end-organ function. The in vitro normalized index of hemolysis was 0.05-0.14 g/L over the specified operating range. In vivo performance was satisfactory for two of the three implanted animals. A mechanical defect caused early termination at 17 days of the first in vivo study, but two subsequent implants proceeded without complication and electively terminated at 30 and 70 days. Serum chemistries and plasma free hemoglobin were within normal limits. Gross necropsy revealed small, subclinical infarctions in the kidneys of the 30 and 70 day animals (confirmed by histopathology). The results of these experiments, particularly the biocompatibility demonstrated in vivo encourage further development of a miniature magnetically levitated VAD for the pediatric population. Ongoing work including further reduction of size will lead to a design freeze in preparation for of clinical trials.

description: We present a comprehensive study of the magnetic properties of Sr$_{3-x}$Y$_{x}$(Fe$_{1.25}$Ni$_{0.75}$)O$_{7-δ}$ ($0 \leq x \leq 0.75$). Experimentally, the magnetic properties are investigated using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry and neutron powder diffraction (NPD). This is complemented by the theoretical study based on density functional theory as well as the Heisenberg exchange parameters. Experimental results show an increase in the Néel temperature ($T_N$) with the increase of Y concentrations and O occupancy. The NPD data reveals all samples are antiferromagnetically ordered at low temperatures, which has been confirmed by our theoretical simulations for the selected samples. Our first-principles calculations suggest that the 3D magnetic order is stabilized due to finite inter-layer exchange couplings. The latter give rise to a finite inter-layer spin correlations which disappear above the $T_N$.

Practical Bayesian data analysis, like all data analysis, is an iterative process of model building, inference, model checking and evaluation, and model expansion. Visualization is helpful in each of these stages of the Bayesian workflow and it is indispensable when drawing inferences from the types of modern, high-dimensional models that are used by applied researchers.

description: The present studies show that long-range magnetic order takes place in RuBr$_3$ at $\approx$ 34 K. The observations of clear oscillations in the muon time spectra demonstrate the presence of well-defined internal fields at the muon sites. The magnetic ordering appears to be very robust and static suggesting a more conventional nature of magnetic ordering in the RuBr$_3$ system at zero field. Present investigations prove that in RuBr$_3$ the Kitaev interactions are likely to be weakened at zero field in comparison to the $α$-RuCl$_3$ system. This proves that it is possible to tune the Kitaev interactions by replacing Cl with heavier halogen elements such as Br.

description: We consider the fragmentation at nodes of the Lévy continuous random tree introduced in a previous paper. In this framework we compute the asymptotic for the number of small fragments at time $θ$. This limit is increasing in $θ$ and discontinuous. In the $α$-stable case the fragmentation is self-similar with index $1/α$, with $α\in (1,2)$ and the results are close to those Bertoin obtained for general self-similar fragmentations but with an additional assumtion which is not fulfilled here.

description: We study a variation of the dynamic universality class of model H in a spatial dimension of $d=4-ε$, by frustrating charge diffusion and momentum density fluctuations along $d_T=1$ or $d_T=2$ dimensions, while keeping the same dynamics of model H in the other $d_L=d-d_T$ dimensions. The case of $d_T=2$ describes the QCD critical point in a background magnetic field. We find that these models belong to a different dynamical universality class due to extended conservation laws compared to the model H, although the static universality class remains the same as the 3-dimensional Ising model. We compute the dynamic critical exponents of these models in first order of $ε$-expansion to find that $x_λ\approx 0.847\,ε$, $x_{\barη}\approx 0.153\,ε$, and $z=4-x_λ\approx 3.15$ when $ε=1$ and $d_T=2$. For $d_T=1$ the results are numerically similar to the model H values: $z\approx 3.08$.

description: We consider the height process of a Lévy process with no negative jumps, and its associated continuous tree representation. Using tools developed by Duquesne and Le Gall, we construct a fragmentation process at height, which generalizes the fragmentation at height of stable trees given by Miermont. In this more general framework, we recover that the dislocation measures are the same as the dislocation measures of the fragmentation at node introduced by Abraham and Delmas, up to a factor equal to the fragment size. We also compute the asymptotic for the number of small fragments.

description: Generative modelling and synthetic data can be a surrogate for real medical imaging datasets, whose scarcity and difficulty to share can be a nuisance when delivering accurate deep learning models for healthcare applications. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in using these models for data augmentation and synthetic data sharing, using architectures such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) or diffusion models (DMs). Nonetheless, the application of synthetic data to tasks such as 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation remains limited due to the lack of labels associated with the generated images. Moreover, many of the proposed generative MRI models lack the ability to generate arbitrary modalities due to the absence of explicit contrast conditioning. These limitations prevent the user from adjusting the contrast and content of the images and obtaining more generalisable data for training task-specific models. In this work, we propose brainSPADE3D, a 3D generative model for brain MRI and associated segmentations, where the user can condition on specific pathological phenotypes and contrasts. The proposed joint imaging-segmentation generative model is shown to generate high-fidelity synthetic images and associated segmentations, with the ability to combine pathologies. We demonstrate how the model can alleviate issues with segmentation model performance when unexpected pathologies are present in the data.

 Note: Sastre (in Adansonia, sér. 2, 8: 122. 1968) indicated Plumier material, from Martinique, as the type and (in Caldasia 11(51): 5, 27. 1971), suggested the name was based on a Surian collection drawn by Plumier. However, Linnaeus made no reference to Plumier in either his specific or generic protologues so this material cannot be accepted as original material for the name. Bornstein (in Howard, Fl. Lesser Antilles 5: 300. 1989) stated that 283.1 and 283.2 (LINN) were possible types. It is difficult to be certain if these were part of a single collection but Whitefoord subsequently designated 283.2 (LINN) as lectotype.

description: We give operational meaning to wave-particle duality in terms of discrimination games. Duality arises as a constraint on the probability of winning these games. The games are played with the aid of an n-port interferometer, and involve 3 parties, Alice and Bob, who cooperate, and the House, who supervises the game. In one game called ways they attempt to determine the path of a particle in the interferometer. In another, called phases, they attempt to determine which set of known phases have been applied to the different paths. The House determines which game is to be played by flipping a coin. We find a tight wave-particle duality relation that allows us to relate the probabilities of winning these games, and use it to find an upper bound on the probability of winning the combined game. This procedure allows us to describe wave-particle duality in terms of discrimination probabilities.

description: We present an analysis of thermal emission from comet 162P/Siding Spring (P/2004 TU12) measured during its discovery apparition in 2004 December. The comet showed no dust coma at this time, so we have sampled emission from the comet's nucleus. Observations using the Mid-Infrared Spectrometer and Imager (MIRSI) were performed at NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility, where the peak of the comet's spectral energy distribution was observed between 8 and 25 microns. In combination with the three near-IR spectra presented by Campins et al. (2006, Astron. J. 132, 1346) that show the Wien-law tail of the thermal emission, the data provide powerful constraints on surface properties of the nucleus. We find that the nucleus's effective radius is 6.0+/-0.8 km. This is one of the largest radii known among Jupiter-family comets, which is unusual considering that the comet was discovered only recently. Its geometric albedo is 0.059+/-0.023 in the H band, 0.037+/-0.014 in the R band, and 0.034+/-0.013 in the V band. We also find that the nucleus of 162P has little IR beaming, and this implies that the nucleus has low thermal inertia. Including all near-IR spectra yields a beaming parameter of 1.01+/-0.20. This result is in agreement with others showing that cometary nuclei have low thermal inertia and little IR beaming. If confirmed for many nuclei, the interpretation of radiometry may not be as problematic as feared.

description: Bio-inspired studies of micro-objects in microfluidics demand quantitative microflow visualization tools to evaluate their three-dimensional (3D) fluid dynamic performance. Experimental fluid dynamic measurements of bio-hybrid systems are employed when non-traditional small-scales, magnetohydrodynamic coupling and nonlinear material properties are involved. In this study a stereoscopic micro- Particle Image Velocimetry(μPIV) system was developed to characterize instantaneous flow fields induced by (1) a micro-robot (280×200×150 μm3) and (2) self-assembled magnetically actuated artificial cilia (∼50 μm in diameter and 500 μm in depth). A custom built micro jet flow microchannel was tested to provide the quantitative evidence of measurement accuracy with 14% error compared to theoretical solutions in the out-of-plane velocity component. Followed by these verification experiments, instantaneous in-plane spinning motion was analyzed in conjunction with translational movement and out-of-plane rotational movements of the micro-robot to obtain the induced 2D-3C (two-dimension, three-component) fluid velocity data. The second test case investigated the microscale vortical flow structures that were generated by self-assembled magnetically driven artificial cilia. The strength of this 3D micro vortex structure was computed based on the 3D flow measurements. In combination with the asymmetric cyclic motion of the magnetically actuated artificial cilia, it is expected that these structures can generate transverse flow efficiently in 3D, and thus provide a potential alternative for mixing in low Reynolds number flows, analogous to a micromixer. The acquired 3D microflow field, along with the validation tests, further extends the capability of using stereoscopic μPIV technique to evaluate the performance of noninvasive microflow manipulators.

description: Continuous flow ventricular assist devices (cfVADs) provide a life-saving therapy for severe heart failure. However, in recent years, the incidence of device-related thrombosis (resulting in stroke, device-exchange surgery or premature death) has been increasing dramatically, which has alarmed both the medical community and the FDA. The objective of this study was to gain improved understanding of the initiation and progression of thrombosis in one of the most commonly used cfVADs, the Thoratec HeartMate II. A computational fluid dynamics simulation (CFD) was performed using our recently updated mathematical model of thrombosis. The patterns of deposition predicted by simulation agreed well with clinical observations. Furthermore, thrombus accumulation was found to increase with decreased flow rate, and can be completely suppressed by the application of anticoagulants and/or improvement of surface chemistry. To our knowledge, this is the first simulation to explicitly model the processes of platelet deposition and thrombus growth in a continuous flow blood pump and thereby replicate patterns of deposition observed clinically. The use of this simulation tool over a range of hemodynamic, hematological, and anticoagulation conditions could assist physicians to personalize clinical management to mitigate the risk of thrombosis. It may also contribute to the design of future VADs that are less thrombogenic.

description: Changes in myocyte cell shape and tissue structure are concurrent with changes in electromechanical function in both the developing and diseased heart. While the anisotropic architecture of cardiac tissue is known to influence the propagation of the action potential, the influence of tissue architecture and its potential role in regulating excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) are less well defined. We hypothesized that changes in the shape and the orientation of cardiac myocytes induced by spatial arrangement of the extracellular matrix (ECM) affects ECC. To test this hypothesis, we isolated and cultured neonatal rat ventricular cardiac myocytes on various micropatterns of fibronectin where they self-organized into tissues with varying degrees of anisotropy. We then measured the morphological features of these engineered myocardial tissues across several hierarchical dimensions by measuring cellular aspect ratio, myocyte area, nuclear density and the degree of cytoskeletal F-actin alignment. We found that when compared with isotropic tissues, anisotropic tissues have increased cellular aspect ratios, increased nuclear densities, decreased myocyte cell areas and smaller variances in actin alignment. To understand how tissue architecture influences cardiac function, we studied the role of anisotropy on intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) dynamics by characterizing the [Ca(2+)](i)-frequency relationship of electrically paced tissues. When compared with isotropic tissues, anisotropic tissues displayed significant differences in [Ca(2+)](i) transients, decreased diastolic baseline [Ca(2+)](i) levels and greater [Ca(2+)](i) influx per cardiac cycle. These results suggest that ECM cues influence tissue structure at cellular and subcellular levels and regulate ECC.

description: Due to its accuracy and generality, Monte Carlo radiative transfer (MCRT) has emerged as the prevalent method for Ly$α$ radiative transfer in arbitrary geometries. The standard MCRT encounters a significant efficiency barrier in the high optical depth, diffusion regime. Multiple acceleration schemes have been developed to improve the efficiency of MCRT but the noise from photon packet discretization remains a challenge. The discrete diffusion Monte Carlo (DDMC) scheme has been successfully applied in state-of-the-art radiation hydrodynamics (RHD) simulations. Still, the established framework is not optimal for resonant line transfer. Inspired by the DDMC paradigm, we present a novel extension to resonant DDMC (rDDMC) in which diffusion in space and frequency are treated on equal footing. We explore the robustness of our new method and demonstrate a level of performance that justifies incorporating the method into existing Ly$α$ codes. We present computational speedups of $\sim 10^2$-$10^6$ relative to contemporary MCRT implementations with schemes that skip scattering in the core of the line profile. This is because the rDDMC runtime scales with the spatial and frequency resolution rather than the number of scatterings - the latter is typically $\propto τ_0$ for static media, or $\propto (a τ_0)^{2/3}$ with core-skipping. We anticipate new frontiers in which on-the-fly Ly$α$ radiative transfer calculations are feasible in 3D RHD. More generally, rDDMC is transferable to any computationally demanding problem amenable to a Fokker-Planck approximation of frequency redistribution.
