description: Economic value of water has been assessed with reference to expansion of management schemes related to water resources. Restoring water quality in lakes and reservoirs and preventing pollution or any other kind of water degradation, have been examined from an economic viewpoint.The concepts of water scarcity and economic value, as well as of externalities and other aspects associated with the allocation of water among uses and users, have been emphasized. Evidences have been presented on the economic impacts of eutrophication through the estimation of costs and benefits of reducing eutrophication or improving water quality in general. The evidences include different examples from the U.S.A., Europe, and developing countries.The idea of economic instruments for prevention and control of eutrophication has been developed. Examples of implementation of taxes or effluent charges from selected European countries, U.S.A., Mexico, and Brazil have been cited. The international practice shows that the effluent charges can be reasonably effective to improve water quality. It is suggested that the rates for the taxes or effluent charges need to be set at a sufficiently high level so they become a real incentive for abatement.Information has also been provided on sound methodologies of benefit/cost analysis as a mechanism to evaluate or prioritize different initiatives of prevention and control of eutrophication, for restoration of eutrophic lakes and reservoirs and for improvement of water quality. Economic valuations of market and non-market resources, which are not treated within formal markets and/or that may have no price at all, have been discussed.The results indicate that effective planning and management of lakes and reservoirs depend not only on a sound understanding of the physical and biological systems of these water bodies, but also of their value to people and the institutions that govern them. An understanding of economic benefits, costs, and policy instruments has been found vital for effective management.

description: We analyze the role of orbital degeneracy in possible magnetic and orbital instabilities by solving exactly a two-site molecule with two orbitals of either $e_g$ or $t_{2g}$ symmetry at quarter-filling. As a generic feature of both models one finds that the spin and orbital correlations have opposite signs in the low temperature regime when the orbitals are degenerate, in agreement with the Goodenough-Kanamori rules. While Hund's exchange coupling $J_H$ induces ferromagnetic spin correlations in both models, it is more efficient for $t_{2g}$ orbitals where the orbital quantum number is conserved along the hopping processes. We show that the ground state and finite temperature properties may change even qualitatively with increasing Coulomb interaction when the crystal field splitting of the two orbitals is finite, and the Goodenough-Kanamori rules may not be followed.

description: While low-dimensional organometal halide perovskites are expected to open up new opportunities for a diverse range of device applications, like in their bulk counterparts, the toxicity of Pb-based halide perovskite materials is a significant concern that hinders their practical use. We recently predicted that lead triiodide (PbI$_3$) columns de-rived from trimethylsulfonium (TMS) lead triiodide (CH$_3$)$_3$SPbI$_3$ (TMSPbI$_3$) by stripping off TMS ligands should be semimetallic, and additionally ultrahigh negative differential resistance (NDR) can arise from the heterojunction composed of a TMSPbI$_3$ channel sandwiched by PbI$_3$ electrodes. Herein, we computationally explore whether similar material and device characteristics can be obtained from other one-dimensional halide perovskites based on non-Pb metal elements, and in doing so deepen the understanding of their mechanistic origins. First, scanning through several candidate metal halide inorganic frameworks as well as their parental form halide perovskites, we find that the germanium triiodide (GeI$_3$) column also assumes a semimetallic character by avoiding the Peierls distortion. Next, adopting the bundled nanowire GeI$_3$-TMSGeI$_3$-GeI$_3$ junction configuration, we obtain a drastically high peak current density and ultrahigh NDR at room temperature. Furthermore, the robustness and controllability of NDR signals under strain are revealed, establishing its potential for flexible electronics applications. It will be emphasized that, despite the performance metrics notably enhanced over those from the PbI$_3$-TMSPbI$_3$-PbI$_3$ case, these device characteristics still arise from the identical quantum hybridization NDR mechanism.

description: In the Digital Age the world is experiencing an immense growth of advanced digital technologies such as robotics, big data analytics, virtual reality, or artificial intelligence. Hundreds if not thousands of new applications and social media tools are introduced every day changing how people gain and process information, how they communicate or learn but more importantly how people think and solve problems. These all present a huge challenge for all leaders especially senior ones. Thus, this dissertation reveals senior leaders’ perspective to find out how digitalization of teamwork and decision-making changes trust relations at interpersonal level. Moreover, it sheds light on the role of moral trust on eliminating possible gaps in interpersonal trust. The research employs descriptive analysis of theoretical background and compares it to empirical data collected from practitioners; senior and junior leaders in multinational military environment at NATO´s standing and deployed HQs. Based on the findings, this dissertation offers a coaching tool which can be employed in designing leadership training or individual leadership coaching concepts.

description: Bell's theorem revealed that a local hidden-variable model cannot completely reproduce the quantum mechanical predictions. Bell's inequality provides an upper bound under the locality and reality assumptions that can be violated by correlated measurement statistics of quantum mechanics. Greenberger, Horne, and Zeilinger (GHZ) gave a more compelling proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities by considering perfect correlations rather than statistical correlations. This work presents a temporal analog of the GHZ argument that establishes Bell's theorem in time without inequalities.

description: Recently reported infrared (IR) galaxy number counts and cosmic infrared background (CIRB) all suggest that galaxies have experienced a strong evolution sometime in their lifetime. We statistically estimate the galaxy evolution history from these data. We find that an order of magnitude increase of the far-infrared (FIR) luminosity at redshift z = 0.5 - 1.0 is necessary to reproduce the very high CIRB intensity at 140 um reported by Hauser et al. (1998). z \sim 0.75 and decreases to, even at most, a factor of 10 toward z \sim 5, though many variants are allowed within these constraints. This evolution history also satisfies the constraints from the galaxy number counts obtained by IRAS, ISO and, roughly, SCUBA. The rapid evolution of the comoving IR luminosity density required from the CIRB well reproduces the very steep slope of galaxy number counts obtained by ISO. We also estimate the cosmic star formation history (SFH) from the obtained FIR luminosity density, considering the effect of the metal enrichment in galaxies. The derived SFH increases steeply with redshift in 0 < z < 0.75, and becomes flat or even declines at z > 0.75. This is consistent with the SFH estimated from the reported ultraviolet luminosity density. In addition, we present the performance of the Japanese ASTRO-F FIR galaxy survey. We show the expected number counts in the survey. We also evaluate how large a sky area is necessary to derive a secure information of galaxy evolution up to z \sim 1 from the survey, and find that at least 50 - 300 deg^2 is required.

description: Lethal intoxications of animals dwelling in aquatic habitats are recurrently observed with blooms of cyanobacteria. The latter produces two types of toxins : cytotoxins & biotoxins and a few antibiotics (allelopaths) such as acutiphycins, indolcarbazoles, tantazoles, tolytoxins etc. Cytotoxins reveal a large spectrum of bustle against bacteria, fungi, algae and mammalian cell lines whereas biotoxins commonly produce intoxications in animals and human beings. Two different kinds of biotoxins produced by cyanobacteria have been examined : neurotoxins and hepatotoxins. It was observed that blooms of algae emanating hepatotoxins are almost twice as common as neurotoxic ones.Statistical relations were frequent between hepatotoxicity and occurrence of Microcystis aeruginosa, M. viridis, M. wesenbergii, Anabaena flos-aquae and A. spiroides. Hepatotoxins mostly target liver in mice where they form marked clogging and necrosis in the parenchymal cells around the central vein. Their LD50 values were found between 140 to 160 µg/kg bw.Neurotoxicity was, by and large, associated with abundance of certain species of the genera Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Oscillatoria and Trichodesmium. Of these neurotoxins, saxitoxin (STX) and neosaxitoxin, also termed as 'aphantoxins' are produced by Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. Anatoxin-a (ANTX-a) is an alkaloid neurotoxin produced by Anabaena flos-aquae, A. spiroides and Oscillatoria. The LD50 in mice is about 200 µg/kg body weight as against 10 µg/kg dosages of aphantoxins. Mice injected intraperitoneally with lethal doses of ANTX-a die from respiratory arrest within some minutes showing symptoms like muscle fasciculation, heavy abdominal breath, cyanosis, convulsions and collapse.Another neurotoxin - Anatoxin-a(s) {ANTX-a(s)} has similar characteristics to an organophosphate insecticide, being a potent inhibitor of cholinesterase. On treatment with 20 µg/kg bw of dosage (LD50) animals show marked salivation, mucoid nasal emancipation, ataxia, diarrhea, dyspnea and cyanosis. Anatoxin-b (ANTX-b), a neurotoxin with acetocholinesterase activity; is more toxic than anatoxin-a and a(s). However, its exact nature and pharmacological action have yet to be worked out.

description: Um die elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit eines Prüflings mit seiner Umwelt zu überprüfen, müssen unter anderem Abstrahlungsmessungen vorgenommen werden, welche mit nicht unerheblichem zeitlichen und finanziellen Aufwand verbunden sind. Als Alternative werden die Messergebnisse in dieser Arbeit durch Aufteilung in zwei Teilprobleme berechnet. Zunächst wird ein Prüfling mit linearem Klemmenverhalten im Norton-Ersatzschaltbild leitungsgebunden charakterisiert. Anschließend wird angenommen, dass die Abstrahlung hauptsächlich von den Strömen im Messaufbau und nicht vom Prüfling selbst erzeugt wird. Eine Transferfunktion von den Klemmen des Prüflings zum Messempfänger beschreibt in Form von Streuparametern den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Klemmenverhalten des Prüflings und der Spannung am Messempfänger, dessen Eigenschaften berücksichtigt werden. So kann das Ergebnis einer Abstrahlungsmessung für mehrere Prüflinge berechnet werden, wenn die Transferfunktion des Messaufbaus einmal bekannt ist. Das Verfahren wird für einen Tiefsetzsteller und eine Motoransteuerung als Prüflinge mit deterministischen Störsignalen und zwei Gleichstrommaschinen als Quellen stochastischer Störsignale überprüft. Abschließend wird das Verfahren hinsichtlich seiner Nutzbarkeit eingeordnet.
description: To prove the electromagnetic compatibility of a device under test (DUT) with its environment, radiation measurements have to be carried out, which are associated with not inconsiderable expenditure of time and money. In this work, an alternative approach is presented: The measurement results are calculated by splitting the problem into two subproblems. First, a DUT with a linear terminal behavior is characterized as a Norton equivalent circuit. Then, it is assumed that the radiation is mainly generated by the currents in the test setup and not by the DUT itself. A transfer function relates the DUT’s terminal behavior and the voltage across the test receiver in terms of scattering parameters. The characteristics of the test receiver are taken into account. Thus, the result of a radiation measurement can be calculated for several DUT once the transfer function of the measurement setup is known. The method is verified for a buck converter and a motor drive as DUT with deterministic interference signals and two DC brush motors as sources of stochastic interference signals. Finally, the method is classified with respect to its usability.

description: Modern supercomputing environments are typically built on heterogeneous node architectures based on accelerators, offering significant performance and energy efficiency. These systems introduce multiple levels of parallelism as well as complex memory architectures. As a result, research software engineers need to refactor scientific applications and adopt a programming approach that can make use of multi-level parallelism and accelerators.

Nearly 75% of the computational performance of Australia's most powerful research supercomputer Setonix (ranked #17 on Top500 and #4 on Green500) comes from AMD MI250X GPUs. The Pawsey Centre for Extreme-Scale Readiness (PaCER) is a unique Australian program supporting researchers in developing and optimising codes on Australia's flagship supercomputer. The focus of the PaCER program is on both extreme scale research (algorithms design, code optimisation, application and workflow readiness) and using the computational infrastructure to facilitate research for producing world-class scientific outcomes. PaCER supports research software engineers to optimise codes and workflows suitable for Australia's most powerful research supercomputer Setonix.

PaCER is a partnership for collaboration with Pawsey and supercomputing vendors that provides early access to HPC tools and infrastructure, training, and exclusive hackathons focused on performance at scale. PaCER supports 10 projects gathering 18 international and national institutions, with more than 60 researchers and 10 research software engineers. The biggest success of the project is the creation of a supercomputing software developer community, unique and first of its kind in Australia. In this talk, we will describe the collaboration model created by PaCER and cover significant achievements of the project.

description: We study the problem of how many different sums of squares decompositions a general polynomial $f$ with SOS-rank $k$ admits. We show that there is a link between the variety $\mathrm{SOS}_k(f)$ of all SOS-decompositions of $f$ and the orthogonal group $\mathrm{O}(k)$. We exploit this connection to obtain the dimension of $\mathrm{SOS}_k(f)$ and show that its degree is bounded from below by the degree of $\mathrm{O}(k)$. In particular, for $k=2$ we show that $\mathrm{SOS}_2(f)$ is isomorphic to $\mathrm{O}(2)$ and hence the degree bound becomes an equality. Moreover, we compute the dimension of the space of polynomials of SOS-rank $k$ and obtain the degree in the special case $k=2$.

description: Here we extract the geographical addresses of authors in the Citeseer database of computer science papers. We show that the productivity of research centres in the United States follows a power-law regime, apart from the most productive centres for which we do not have enough data to reach definite conclusions. To investigate the spatial distribution of computer science research centres in the United States, we compute the two-point correlation function of the spatial point process and show that the observed power-laws do not disappear even when we change the physical representation from geographical space to cartogram space. Our work suggests that the effect of physical location poses a challenge to ongoing efforts to develop realistic models of scientific productivity. We propose that the introduction of a fine scale geography may lead to more sophisticated indicators of scientific output.

description: To explain the production of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions at extreme energies, we focus on the deuteron case. A Gibbs ensemble at chemical freeze-out is a prerequisite to investigate the non-equilibrium evolution of the expanding fireball. Quantum statistical approaches allow to describe correlations including bound state formation in the strongly interacting and hot system. We consider the virial approach to evaluate proton-neutron correlations. In generalization of the treatment of protons in pionic matter (pion-proton puzzle), the influence of the pion environment on deuteron-like correlations is evaluated using data for the pion-deuteron scattering phase shifts. Calculated yields for deuteron production are compared with the ones observed at the LHC.

description: We present the analysis of the XMM-Newton data of the Circum-Galactic Medium of MASsive Spirals (CGM-MASS) sample of six extremely massive spiral galaxies in the local Universe. All the CGM-MASS galaxies have diffuse X-ray emission from hot gas detected above the background extending $\sim(30-100)\rm~kpc$ from the galactic center. This doubles the existing detection of such extended hot CGM around massive spiral galaxies. The radial soft X-ray intensity profile of hot gas can be fitted with a $β$-function with the slope typically in the range of $β=0.35-0.55$. This range, as well as those $β$ values measured for other massive spiral galaxies, including the Milky Way (MW), are in general consistent with X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies of similar hot gas luminosity and temperature, and with those predicted from a hydrostatic isothermal gaseous halo. Hot gas in such massive spiral galaxy tends to have temperature comparable to its virial value, indicating the importance of gravitational heating. This is in contrast to lower mass galaxies where hot gas temperature tends to be systematically higher than the virial one. The ratio of the radiative cooling to free fall timescales of hot gas is much larger than the critical value of $\sim10$ throughout the entire halos of all the CGM-MASS galaxies, indicating the inefficiency of gas cooling and precipitation in the CGM. The hot CGM in these massive spiral galaxies is thus most likely in a hydrostatic state, with the feedback material mixed with the CGM, instead of escaping out of the halo or falling back to the disk. We also homogenize and compare the halo X-ray luminosity measured for the CGM-MASS galaxies and other galaxy samples and discuss the "missing" galactic feedback detected in these massive spiral galaxies.

Dirichlet Strings

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Strings propagating along surfaces with Dirichlet boundaries are studied in this paper. Such strings were originally proposed as a possible candidate for the QCD string. Our approach is different from previous ones and is simple and general enough, with which basic problems can be easily addressed. The Green function on a surface with Dirichlet boundaries is obtained through the Neumann Green function on the same surface, by employing a simple approach to Dirichlet conditions. An easy consequence of the simple calculation of the Green function is that in the simplest model, namely the bosonic Dirichlet string, the critical dimension is still 26, and the tachyon is still present in the spectrum, while the scattering amplitudes differ dramatically from those in the usual string theory. We discuss the high energy, fixed angle behavior of the four point scattering amplitudes on the disk and the annulus. We argue for general power-like behavior of arbitrary high energy, fixed angle scattering amplitudes. We also discuss the high temperature property of the finite temperature partition function on an arbitrary surface, and give an explicit formula of the one on the annulus.

description: The Thirring model is a four-fermion theory with a current-current interaction and $U(2N)$ chiral symmetry. It is closely related to three-dimensional QED and other models used to describe properties of graphene. In addition it serves as a toy model to study chiral symmetry breaking. In the limit of flavour number $N \to 1/2$ it is equivalent to the Gross-Neveu model, which shows a parity-breaking discrete phase transition. The model was already studied with different methods, including Dyson-Schwinger equations, functional renormalisation group methods and lattice simulations. Most studies agree that there is a phase transition from a symmetric phase to a spontaneously broken phase for a small number of fermion flavours, but no symmetry breaking for large $N$. But there is no consensus on the critical flavour number $N^\text{cr}$ above which there is no phase transition anymore and on further details of the critical behaviour. Values of $N$ found in the literature vary between $2$ and $7$. All earlier lattice studies were performed with staggered fermions. Thus it is questionable if in the continuum limit the lattice model recovers the internal symmetries of the continuum model. We present new results from lattice Monte Carlo simulations of the Thirring model with SLAC fermions which exactly implement all internal symmetries of the continuum model even at finite lattice spacing. If we reformulate the model in an irreducible representation of the Clifford algebra, we find, in contradiction to earlier results, that the behaviour for even and odd flavour numbers is very different: For even flavour numbers, chiral and parity symmetry are always unbroken. For odd flavour numbers parity symmetry is spontaneously broken below the critical flavour number $N_\text{ir}^\text{cr}=9$ while chiral symmetry is still unbroken.

description: We investigate sequential tunneling through a multilevel quantum dot confining multiple electrons, in the regime where several channels are available for transport within the bias window. By analyzing solutions to the master equations of the reduced density matrix, we give general conditions on when the presence of a second transport channel in the bias window quenches transport through the quantum dot. These conditions are in terms of distinct tunneling anisotropies which may aid in explaining the occurrence of negative differential conductance in quantum dots in the nonlinear regime.

description: To evaluate outcomes, healthcare resource utilization, and costs associated with mucormycosis in inpatient settings in Japan. We performed a systematic literature review, followed by a retrospective database study using hospital health claims for patients in Japan hospitalized with a diagnosis of mucormycosis between January 2010 and January 2019. Outcomes assessed included duration of index hospitalization; index stay mortality; hospital readmission within 30, 60, and 90 days after index hospitalization discharge; drug/treatment utilization and patterns; number of patients examined for mucormycosis during the index hospitalization; and index stay inpatient costs. From our systematic literature review of articles describing 133 patients with mucormycosis, mortality in the index hospitalization was 55.6%. From our database study of 126 patients hospitalized for mucormycosis, mortality during the index hospitalization was 35.7% and mean index stay duration was 94 days. Hematologic malignancies were the most common risk factor in the literature review and the most common comorbidity in the database study. During the index stay, 39 patients (31.0%) received liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) treatment and 74 patients (58.7%) received other antifungal treatments. Median total inpatient costs for the index hospitalization were equivalent to approximately US$60,945, including US$29,283 in drug costs. This study investigated the healthcare resource utilization and cost of medical resources caused by mucormycosis in Japan. The drug costs for antifungal treatments comprised about half of total inpatient costs. Mucormycosis leads to high mortality, high healthcare resource utilization, and high costs.

Two different kinds of biotoxins produced by cyanobacteria have been investigated: neurotoxins and hepatotoxins. It was observed that blooms of algae secreting hepatotoxins are almost twice as common as neurotoxic ones. Statistical associations were frequent between hepatotoxicity and occurrence of Microcystis aeruginosa, M. viridis, M. wesenbergii, Anabaena flos-aquae and A. spiroides. Hepatotoxins mainly target liver in mice where they form marked congestion and necrosis in the parenchymal cells around the central vein. Their LD50values were found between 140 to 160 µg/kg bw.Neurotoxicity was, by and large, linked with prevalence of certain species of the genera Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Oscillatoria and Trichodesmium. Of these neurotoxins, saxitoxin (STX) and neosaxitoxin, also termed as 'aphantoxins' are produced by Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. Anatoxin-a (ANTX-a) is an alkaloid neurotoxin produced by Anabaena flos-aquae, A. spiroides and Oscillatoria. The LD50 in mice is about 200 µg/kg body weight as against 10 µg/kg dosages of aphantoxins. Mice injected intraperitoneally with lethal doses of ANTX-a die from respiratory arrest within some minutes showing symptoms like muscle fasciculation, heavy abdominal breath, cyanosis, convulsions and collapse.Another neurotoxin - Anatoxin-a(s) {ANTX-a(s)} has similar properties to an organophosphate insecticide, being a potent inhibitor of cholinesterase. On treatment with 20 µg/kg bw of dosage (LD50) animals show marked salivation, mucoid nasal discharge, ataxia, diarrhea, dyspnea and cyanosis. Anatoxin-b (ANTX-b), a neurotoxin with acetocholinesterase activity; is more toxic than anatoxin-a and a(s). However, its exact nature and pharmacological action have yet to be worked out.

description: This article examines the reasons which moved local landlords to provide charity to their subjects, and focuses on the case of Borgo Fornari, an imperial fief in the Scrivia Valley, not far from Genoa, where in 1736 the marquis Carlo Spinola decided to build a hospital for the sick. Thanks to several unpublished sources preserved in the Spinola’s family archive, it has been possible to examine the most important aspects concerning organisation and functioning of the hospital and to demonstrate that it was managed paying attention to combine the efficacy of treatments with cost-effectiveness criteria.

description: The direct detection of gravitational waves opens the possibility to test general relativity and its alternatives in the strong field regime. Here we focus on the test of the existence of extra dimensions. The classification of gravitational waves in metric gravity theories according to their polarizations in higher-dimensional space-time and the possible observation of these polarizations in 3-dimensional subspace are discussed in this work. And we show that the difference in the response of gravitational waves in detectors with and without extra dimensions can serve as evidence for the existence of extra dimensions.

The ARDC Data Retention Project. Outcomes and the path to a sustainable and inclusive national research data infrastructure investment.
Creators: name: Wilkinson, Max
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The ARDC Data Retention Project 2020-2023 has now closed. The Project was designed to establish a benchmark for important research data collections using standardised, minimal international metadata specification. Our approach focused on existing research data collections and the international data citation initiative, DataCite. We awarded capacity subsidies in exchange for public registration of research data collections into the DataCite metadata store. The investment supported traditional infrastructure but extended this support with advice, tools and training to maximise delivery and establish a enduring behaviour with clear benefits for data management and infrastructure provision. The collection registration also provided business intelligence to analyse the national capability for curated research data collections and establish a foundation to realistic and sustainable investment models. Our objective was to ensure research data collections of national significance are secured and recognised as national reusable assets and as the evidence underpinning the scholarly record.

Project output, outcomes and analysis will be presented during this talk and include reference documentation, suggested updates to the metadata specification and plans for further investment in the national data storage capability.
Cascade of circulicity in compressible turbulence

description: The purpose of this work is to investigate whether a cascading process can be associated with the rotational motions of compressible three-dimensional turbulence. This question is examined through the lens of circulicity, a concept related to the angular momentum carried by large turbulent scales. By deriving a Monin-Yaglom relation for circulicity, we show that an ``effective'' cascade of this quantity exists, provided the flow is stirred with a force having a solenoidal component. This outcome is obtained independently from the expression of the equation of state. To supplement these results, a coarse-graining analysis of the flow is performed. This approach allows to separate the contributions of the transfer and production terms of circulicity and to discuss their respective effects in the inertial range.

description: Histopathology plays a central role in diagnosis of many diseases including solid cancers. Efforts are underway to transform this subjective art form to an objective and quantitative science. Coherent Raman imaging (CRI), a label-free imaging modality with sub-cellular spatial resolution and molecule-specific contrast possesses characteristics which could support the qualitative-to-quantitative transition of histopathology. In this work we briefly survey major themes related to modernization of histopathology, review applications of CRI to histopathology and, finally, discuss potential roles for CRI in the transformation of histopathology that is already underway.

description: Control of arterial hypertension in obese or overweight patients is complicated since obesity directly contributes to increased blood pressure, requiring new, highly effective antihypertensive drugs. This study evaluates the efficacy of azilsartan medoxomil in real clinical practice. An international multicenter observational non-interventional prospective study of azilsartan medoxomil was conducted in 64 clinical centers in the Russian Federation and 5 centers in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This study included 1945 obese or overweight patients with arterial hypertension. Azilsartan medoxomil was prescribed in accordance with the approved instruction for use. The decision to prescribe the drug, dose adjustment and monitoring target BP achievement belonged to the attending physicians according to their routine clinical practice. The observation period took about 6 months. The average duration of taking the medicine was 26.1 ± 4 weeks. By the fourth visit, the use of azilsartan medoxomil either in a monotherapy regimen or in free combinations resulted in a pronounced decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 30.5 ± 13.4 and 14 ± 9.4 mmHg, respectively (p Over the study time of 1945 patients, significant changes in blood pressure levels over time were noted, and a high frequency of response to the azilsartan therapy was observed. Adverse events related to the study drug were of mild or moderate intensity and did not require discontinuation of therapy. Thus, azilsartan medoxomil demonstrated a good safety profile and provided effective blood pressure control for overweight or obese patients with hypertension in real clinical practice.

description: We show that observations of pulsars with pulsed optical emission indicate that the peak flux scales according to the magnetic field strength at the light cylinder. The derived relationships indicate that the emission mechanism is common across all of the observed pulsars with periods ranging from 33ms to 385 ms and ages of 1000-300,000 years. It is noted that similar trends exist for $γ$ ray pulsars. Furthermore the model proposed by Pacini (1971) and developed by Pacini and Salvati (1983,1987) still has validity and gives an adequate explanation of the optical phenomena.

description: We investigate macroscopic behavior of a dynamical network consisting of a time-evolving wiring of interactions among a group of random walkers. We assume that each walker (agent) has an oscillator and show that depending upon the nature of interaction, synchronization arises where each of the individual oscillators are allowed to move in such a random walk manner in a finite region of three dimensional space. Here the vision range of each oscillator decides the number of oscillators with which it interacts. The live interaction between the oscillators is of intermediate type ( i.e., not local as well as not global) and may or may not be bidirectional. We analytically derive density dependent threshold of coupling strength for synchronization using linear stability analysis and numerically verify the obtained analytical results. Additionally, we explore the concept of basin stability, a nonlinear measure based on volumes of basin of attractions, to investigate how stable the synchronous state is under large perturbations. The synchronization phenomenon is analyzed taking limit cycle and chaotic oscillators for wide ranges of parameters like interaction strength k between the walkers, speed of movement v and vision range r.

description: The Tools4CAP project aims to support MSs in designing and monitoring CSPs, particularly in light of the challenges presented by the new CAP. As part of this, Tools4CAP has compiled an inventory of the various tools and methods currently in use or planned for use by MSs. The update in D1.4 significantly expands on the foundation laid in D1.1, enhancing both the breadth and depth of the tool collection. While D1.1 relied primarily on desk research and 121 semi-structured interviews conducted across 25 EU Member States, D1.4 builds upon these efforts by incorporating additional data sources from across the Tools4CAP project to identify new tools and the understanding of existing tools, while improving the overall structure of the inventory.

description: The properties of possibly existing tetraquarks are studied in the large-$N_{\mathrm{c}}^{}$ limit of QCD by means of four-point correlation functions of meson currents.The necessity of a detailed analysis of the singularities of Feynman diagrams, by means of the Landau equations, to recognize those diagrams that might contribute to the formation of tetraquark states, is emphasized. It is found, in general, that tetraquarks, if they exist, should have narrow widths of the order of $N_{\mathrm{c}}^{-2}$.

description: The present monograph deals with hydrobiological surveillance of Upper lake, Lower lake and Shahpura lake, Bhopal. Small level functional ecosystems were developed in laboratory by inoculating quantum sufficit of water, soil and planktonic flora. Of some hundred nutrients known to cause eutrophication, five (Ca, Mg, K, N, P) were selected for present study.Different dosages of these nutrients were administered separately and their impact on free floating plant life was assessed, in terms of species diversity, density and relative growth, over a period of one month. Results were suggestive of the fact that algal strains flourished well upto a definite concentration of nutrients (Ca=101.6; Mg=31.0; K=95.0; TKN=49.4; TP= 10.0), beyond which the microcosmal water could not sustain planktonic life except for certain eutrophic taxa viz. Anabaena ornaldii, Microcystis aeruginosa and Oscillatoria amphigranulata.
