description: We have studied experimentally transport properties in a slowly driven granular system which recently was shown to display self-organized criticality [Frette {\em et al., Nature} {\bf 379}, 49 (1996)]. Tracer particles were added to a pile and their transit times measured. The distribution of transit times is a constant with a crossover to a decaying power law. The average transport velocity decreases with system size. This is due to an increase in the active zone depth with system size. The relaxation processes generate coherently moving regions of grains mixed with convection. This picture is supported by considering transport in a $1D$ cellular automaton modeling the experiment.

description: The paper is devoted to the methods of determination of the cosmological parameters from recent CMB observations. We show that the more complex models of kinetics of recombination with a few "missing" parameters describing the recombination process provide better agreement between measured and expected characteristics of the CMB anisotropy. In particular, we consider the external sources of the Ly-{alpha} and Ly-{c} radiation and the model with the strong clustering of baryonic component. These factors can constrain the estimates of the cosmological parameters usually discussed. We demonstrate also that the measurements of polarization can improve these estimates and, for the precision expected for the PLANCK mission, allow to discriminate a wide class of models.

description: Areas high in collective efficacy – where residents know and trust one another and are willing to intervene to solve neighbourhood problems – tend to experience less crime. Policing is thought to be one antecedent to collective efficacy, but little empirical research has explored this question. Using three waves of survey data collected from London residents over three consecutive years, and multilevel Structural Equation Modelling, this study tested the impact of police visibility and police–community engagement on collective efficacy. We explored direct effects as well as indirect effects through trust in police. The findings showed levels of police visibility predicted trust in police. Trust in police fairness, in turn, predicted collective efficacy. There was a small indirect relationship between police visibility and collective efficacy, through trust in police fairness. In other words, police presence in neighbourhoods was associated with more positive views about officer behaviour, which in turn was associated with collective efficacy. The findings have important implications for policies designed to build stronger, more resilient communities.

description: Nonlinear interactions in the dendritic tree play a key role in neural computation. Nevertheless, modeling frameworks aimed at the construction of large-scale, functional spiking neural networks, such as the Neural Engineering Framework, tend to assume a linear superposition of post-synaptic currents. In this paper, we present a series of extensions to the Neural Engineering Framework that facilitate the construction of networks incorporating Dale's principle and nonlinear conductance-based synapses. We apply these extensions to a two-compartment LIF neuron that can be seen as a simple model of passive dendritic computation. We show that it is possible to incorporate neuron models with input-dependent nonlinearities into the Neural Engineering Framework without compromising high-level function and that nonlinear post-synaptic currents can be systematically exploited to compute a wide variety of multivariate, bandlimited functions, including the Euclidean norm, controlled shunting, and non-negative multiplication. By avoiding an additional source of spike noise, the function-approximation accuracy of a single layer of two-compartment LIF neurons is on a par with or even surpasses that of two-layer spiking neural networks up to a certain target function bandwidth.

description: A validation of the cosmic distance-duality relation (CDDR) is crucial because any observational departure from it could be a signal of new physics. In this work, we explore the potentialities of luminosity distance data from the gravitational wave (GW) standard sirens of future Einstein Telescope (ET) to test the CDDR. The angular diameter distance data are used from the galaxy clusters samples and the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements. The basic advantage of GW measurements substituting for the observations from the type Ia supernovae (SNIa) is that the luminosity distance from it is insensitive to the non-conservation of the number of photons.

description: Economic studies on simulated natural gas hydrate reservoirs have been compiled to estimate the price of natural gas that may lead to economically viable production from the most promising gas hydrate accumulations. As a first estimate, large-scale production of natural gas from North American arctic region Class 1 and Class 2 hydrate deposits will be economically acceptable at gas prices over $CDN2005 10/Mscf and $CDN2005 17/Mscf, respectively, provided the cost of building a pipeline to the nearest distribution point is not prohibitively expensive. These estimates should be seen as rough lower bounds, with positive error bars of $5 and $10, respectively. While these prices represent the best available estimate, the economic evaluation of a specific project is highly dependent on the producibility of the target zone, the amount of gas in place, the associated geologic and depositional environment, existing pipeline infrastructure, and local tariffs and taxes. Class 1 hydrate deposits may be economically viable at a lower natural gas price due largely to the existing free gas, which can be produced early in project lifetimes. Of the deposit types for which hydrates are the sole source of hydrocarbons (i.e. Class 2, 3, and 4 deposits), theoretical simulation studies imply that Class 2 deposits may be the most likely to be economically viable (with all else equal) due to assistance that removal of the underlying free water will provide to depressurization; thus $CDN2005 17/Mscf can be seen as a lower bound on the natural gas price that may render hydrate deposits economically acceptable in the absence of free gas. Results from a recent analysis of the production of gas from marine hydrate deposits are also considered in this report [6]. On a rate-or-return (ROR) basis, it is approximately $2008 3/Mscf more expensive to produce from a Class 3 marine hydrates than a conventional marine gas reservoir of similar size.

description: The continuation of lithium while breastfeeding is a controversial topic, and clinical recommendations vary. A systematic review was completed of available data on lithium and breastfeeding to determine the degree of lithium exposure through breast milk and assess the potential risk to the infant. Databases, including PubMed MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials databases, were searched for articles on lithium and breastfeeding from the start dates of the databases through December 2018. Articles were included if the report included at least one maternal serum/plasma and/or breast milk lithium concentration and one infant serum/plasma lithium concentration. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. Twelve articles, all case reports, were selected for inclusion out of 441 articles that were found and 230 that were reviewed from the search. Data are limited on the safety of lithium continuation while breastfeeding. Among the adverse effects reported, it is difficult to differentiate poor outcomes from factors affecting infant health, concomitant medications, and gestational lithium exposure. Recommendations on whether to continue lithium while breastfeeding must be personalized to the individual woman and her infant.

MCards employs gamification elements to motivate professionals during the inspection. MCheck uses a checklist to guide the inspection. We also describe developed items for verification of the interaction models with the purpose of evaluating their consistency with the system user scenario. These items can be instantiated for other interaction modeling languages, as long as the elements have the same purpose in the interaction modeling. In addition, this technical report describes the material used to support the experimental studies of the two inspection techniques for different interaction models, called MoLVERIC Cards (MCards) and MoLVERIC Check (MCheck). MCards employs gamification elements to motivate professionals during the inspection. MCheck uses a checklist to guide the inspection.

description: Supplementary Figure S2. Summary of the methodology for model development. (A) The slide annotation classifier was developed using a random selection of slides within the training cohort. The ground truth regions were preprocessed and color deconvoluted so that texture features could be extracted from the hematoxylin distributions. Five-fold cross validation was performed to determine the modelâ s classification ability after which the training set was augmented through rotation and transposition of ground truth regions and input into the final annotation classifier (red box fill). (B) To develop the recurrence classifier the training slides were first annotated through the trained annotation classifier (red box fill). The fully class-annotated slides had whole slide features extracted and selected to identify the set of features that differed most significantly between patients who recurred and recurrence-free patients. The performance of these features within a classifier was determined through 5-fold cross validation, and the full training cohort was used to train a recurrence classifier (gold box fill). (C) The prognostic value of the pipeline was confirmed on a validation cohort. Both the previously-trained annotation classifier and recurrence classifier were applied towards the patient samples in this validation cohort, and the resulting stratification of patients was evaluated.

Crops and climate

description: One out of every three workers on the planet is employed in agriculture. Consequently, major changes to the way that agriculture is practiced will have outsized effects on society.  This dissertation focuses on technology and climate change, two key variables that will exert increasing influence on the rural sector and broader patterns of economic development.  While the implementation of new technologies to increase crop productivity will be essential in satisfying rising global food demand, shifts in global climate may undermine those productivity gains in terms of both agronomic and labor market output.  Chapter 2 exploits a quasi-experimental research design to assess how crop productivity gains resulting from a new technology affect gender wage disparities in agricultural labor markets.  Using high-frequency temperature data merged with nationally representative time use data from Indian workers, Chapter 3 estimates a labor supply response function to temperature shocks that informs projected labor market effects under climate change.  Chapter 4 demonstrates that a very parsimonious statistical model offers accurate out-of-sample predictions and provides a discussion on modeling weather's role in agriculture and the current state of adaptation research.

description: Objectives: To systematically review the evidence of the relationship between policing and collective efficacy. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis synthesising data from 16 studies (4 experimental/quasi-experimental, 12 observational) assessing the relationship between policing and collective efficacy. Results: Overall, police trustworthiness was the only measure of policing that was significantly associated with collective efficacy. People who thought the police were an effective and supportive resource perceived greater collective efficacy in their neighbourhoods. Conclusions: The contribution of policing to collective efficacy seems to be about supporting communities by providing a trustworthy presence, which may reassure people that the police will be there if needed.

description: The use of force is arguably the defining feature of police. Yet this power is often controversial: a key node in the contest and debate that almost always swirls around police, with the question of race never far from such contestation. In this paper, we consider the influence of race in responses to use of force incidents among British-based samples. Using two text-based vignette experiments and one video study, our aims are threefold: (1) to explore the influence of suspect race in how people respond to police use of force; (2) to test the interaction between participant ethnicity and suspect race; and (3) to understand what attitudes and beliefs influence how people respond to police use of force. We found no effect of suspect race on how people judged police use of force. White participants were slightly more accepting of police use of force than black participants, but there was no interaction with suspect race. The strongest predictor of acceptance of police use of force was trust in police, and, controlling for other relevant predictors, racial prejudice was also a significant positive predictor of acceptance of use of force. To our knowledge this is the first study of its kind to be fielded in the UK.

Environmental economics

description: The first part of this dissertation attempts to add to our understanding of two aspects of the climate change issue, using tools from two different disciplines:  Economics and Hydro-Climatology, for the case of India. The two aspects addressed are :( 1) understanding and summarizing changes in the climate system (and systems driven by it, such as the hydrologic system) and (2) translating such an understanding into quantitative assessments of impacts upon different activities. Modifications of conventional approaches in Environmental Economics are used to obtain a quantitative understanding of the type of changes in agricultural productivity induced by probable scenarios of climate change. Using a newly available observational rainfall data set from the Meteorological Department, assessments are carried out of changes in extremes of rainfall. These putative changes are then assessed in relation to certain larger scale climatological phenomena which presumably impact hydrologic extremes, based on hypotheses presented in the literature. The second part of the dissertation addresses the issue of unified, coherent and more realistic analysis of groundwater-based models in the Economics literature.

description: Introduction: Perineal ectopia testis (PET) is an uncommon condition which is a rare congenital anomaly with prevalence of 1% of all cases of undescended testes (UDT), in which the testis is abnormally situated between the penoscrotal raphe and the genitofemoral fold. Background (anatomical, and embryological): The inguinal rings are: internal and external, then a third one, the secondary internal inguinal ring, deep to the classic internal, and the secondary external inguinal ring described by McGregor (Surg Gynecol Obstet 49:273-307, 1929), which may be formed by evagination of Scarpa's fascia during testicular descent. It is formed by Scarpa's fascia and Colles' fascia fusion with coverings of the cord. It communicate with the subcutaneous abdominal space, with four subcutaneous pouches: laterally, the superficial inguinal pouch; medially, the perineal, femoral, and pubic pouches. The major sites of ectopic testis are the superficial inguinal canal (most frequent), femoral canal, suprapubic region (pubo-penile region), contralateral scrotum (rare) and, lastly, the perineal region, which is also rare. Rare cases of pre-peritoneal, extracorporeal and anterior abdominal wall ectopic testes have been reported. Bilaterality is even more scarce. Case Report: We report a case of ectopic testis located in the left perineum in a 17-year-old boy. Presented with empty scrotum and perineal lump on the left side. Our surgical approach was easy through a direct inguino – perineal skin incision to expose the perineal testis. In our case the length of the testicular vessels and vas deferens was adequate and retroperitoneal dissection was not required.The testis was reimplanted in the left corresponding ipsilateral hypoplastic scrotum. Discussion: Orchidopexy in a dartos pouch must be performed early easily through a standard inguinal skin-crease incision. The functional prognosis, always difficult to define. The boys with ectopic testis may have an increased incidence of subfertility and testicular malignancy.  Conclusion: The diagnostic and surgical findings was; the apparent fixation adherence of gubernaculum testis to surrounding perineal fascia, the spermatic cord was of adequate lenth, associated hernia was absent, and the size of PET was relatively smaller than the other right side. We used a direct inguino-perineal skin incision in stead of inguinal skin-crease incision approach, because we think that our approach was more easier and safe.

description: Excerpts from the report: Alterations in the structure and practices of food markets may directly affect farmers by changing the numbers and kinds of buyers to whom they sell, the conditions and terms of sale, and marketing costs and margins. Since World War II the structure and practices of many food markets have been influenced by companies obtaining control of other firms by various means. Trade reports have emphasized growth by such methods of acquisition as purchase of assets, purchase of stock, and contractual arrangements. Because such reports have been sporadic and fragmentary it has not been certain how representative they actually are. In order to describe the frequency and character of acquisition in the industry as a means of growth, the Bureau of the Census and the Department of Agriculture conducted an acquisitions-disposal survey covering the period 1952-58. This study is part of a broad program of research to increase the efficiency of marketing food products. This report describes the industry's response to the questionnaire concerning the extent and character of acquisitions and disposals, the types of financial transactions by which the acquisitions and disposals were made, and the form of business organization of the acquired companies, and it discusses points which are important in interpreting these data. Eight food industries were included in this survey: Dairy products manufacturing; canning, preserving, and freezing (excluding seafood); bakery products; vegetable and animal oils; food product wholesalers; farm product assemblers; grocery stores; and food stores other than grocery stores.

description: Collective efficacy is a neighbourhood social process that has important benefits for crime prevention. Policing is thought to be one antecedent to collective efficacy, but the mechanisms by which police activity and officer behaviour are thought to foster collective efficacy are not well understood. This article presents findings from a rapid evidence assessment conducted to take stock of the empirical research on policing and collective efficacy. Thirty-nine studies were identified and examined. Overall, trust in police was the aspect of policing most consistently associated with collective efficacy. There was also some evidence that community policing activities, such as visibility and community engagement, predicted collective efficacy. Police legitimacy, on the other hand, was relatively unrelated to collective efficacy: a finding which suggests perceptions of police linked to the ‘action’ of individual officers may be more enabling of collective efficacy than perceptions of the policing institution as a whole. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

description: For a variety $X$, a big $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $L$ and a closed connected subgroup $G \subset \mathrm{Aut}(X, L)$ we define a $G$-invariant version of the $δ$-threshold. We prove that for a Fano variety $(X, -K_X)$ and a connected subgroup $G \subset \mathrm{Aut}(X)$ this invariant characterizes $G$-equivariant uniform $K$-stability. We also use this invariant to investigate $G$-equivariant $K$-stability of some Fano varieties with large groups of symmetries, including spherical Fano varieties. We also consider the case of $G$ being a finite group.

description: We study the combinatorics of ad-nilpotent ideals of a Borel subalgebra of $sl(n+1,\Bbb C)$. We provide an inductive method for calculating the class of nilpotence of these ideals and formulas for the number of ideals having a given class of nilpotence. We study the relationships between these results and the combinatorics of Dyck paths, based upon a remarkable bijection between ad-nilpotent ideals and Dyck paths. Finally, we propose a (q,t)-analogue of the Catalan number $C_n$. These (q,t)-Catalan numbers count on the one hand ad-nilpotent ideals with respect to dimension and class of nilpotence, and on the other hand admit interpretations in terms of natural statistics on Dyck paths.

 Material (four specimens): Two adult specimens (MHNCUP/ ANF 171–172), collected from unknown locality in 1904; two adult specimens (MHNCUP/ ANF 228–229, formerly UP-MHNFCP-017354 and UP-MHNFCP-052197; Fig. S1), collected from unknown locality, date unknown.
 Comments: Xenopus petersii is widespread in western and central Angola, southern Gabon to western Democratic Republic of the Congo and northern Namibia (Marques et al. 2018). A recent study by Furman et al. (2015) on the phylogeny of the X. laevis (Daudin, 1903) group recognized X. petersii as a valid species and supported the revalidation of X. poweri Hewitt, 1927. According to the distribution provided by the authors, X. petersii occurs in western and central parts of Angola, whereas X. poweri is limited to eastern and southeastern regions (Furman et al. 2015; Conradie et al. 2016; Marques et al. 2018). None of the extant specimens has associated localities, but they most likely represent those cited by Ferreira (1906) from “Cambondo” and “Rio Luinha”, matching the expected geographical range for the species.

description: Global change has caused a worldwide increase in reports of Vibrio-associated diseases with ecosystem-wide impacts on humans and marine animals. In Europe, higher prevalence of human infections followed regional climatic trends with outbreaks occurring during episodes of unusually warm weather. Similar patterns were also observed in Vibrio-associated diseases affecting marine organisms such as fish, bivalves and corals. Basic knowledge is still lacking on the ecology and evolutionary biology of these bacteria as well as on their virulence mechanisms. Current limitations in experimental systems to study infection and the lack of diagnostic tools still prevent a better understanding of Vibrio emergence. A major challenge is to foster cooperation between fundamental and applied research in order to investigate the consequences of pathogen emergence in natural Vibrio populations and answer federative questions that meet societal needs. Here we report the proceedings of the first European workshop dedicated to these specific goals of the Vibrio research community by connecting current knowledge to societal issues related to ocean health and food security.

PHASE EQUILIBRIA AND FORMATION KINETIS OF CARBON DIOXIDE, METHANE, AND NATURAL GAS IN SILICA GEL PORES
Creators: name: Kang, Seong-Pil

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Hydrate phase equilibria for the CO2, CH4 and natural gas in silica gel pores of nominal pore diameters 6, 30 and 100 nm were measured, and compared with the calculated results based on van der Waals and Platteeuw model. At a specific temperature, three-phase hydrate–water-rich liquid–vapor (HLV) equilibrium curves for pore hydrates were shifted to the higher pressure condition depending on pore sizes when compared with those of bulk hydrates. The activities of water in porous silica gels were modified to account for capillary effect, and the calculated results were in good agreement with the experimental data. To investigate the formation kinetics of each system, the isobaric method was applied. It was found that there were no difference in structure between hydrate in silica gel pore and that in bulk free state. Results showed that hydrate formation in the silica gel pores indicated significantly faster rates, intensively reduced induction times, increased gas consumption and conversion of water to hydrate as compared to hydrate formation in bulk free water or fine ice powder. Utilizing these superior characteristics, formation of hydrate in porous material is expected to present the process on gas separation or storage.
