description: In this paper, we study two-color, two-flavor QCD using chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order when the diquark chemical potential ($μ_{B}$) is equal to the isospin chemical potential ($μ_{I}$). For chemical potentials larger than the physical pion mass, the system is in a multicomponent superfluid phase with both pions and diquarks. We construct the one-loop effective potential using $χ$PT in the presence of an external multicomponent superfluid source and use the effective potential to calculate the chiral condensate, the multicomponent superfluid condensate and the (multicomponent) superfluid density. We also find the critical chemical potential and the order of the phase transition from the normal phase to the multicomponent condensed phase at next-to-leading order. The phase transition remains second order (as at tree-level) and the critical chemical potential is equal to the one-loop renormalized diquark (or pion) mass.

description: The anthelmintic efficacy of neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves was evaluated on 12 cross bred cattle (aged between 2-3 years) naturally infected with gastrointestinal nematodes at Bangladesh Agricultural University Dairy farm, Mymensingh during the period of 28 days from 1st to 28th June' 2005. The 12 selected cattle were randomly divided into two groups (A & B), each consisting of six animals, of which each animal of group A was treated with a single orally administered water extract of neem leaves @ 200mg/kg bwt, whereas animals of group B served as untreated control. Egg per gram (EPG) of feces, body weight, certain hemato-biochemical parameters were examined before the treatment and on 3rd, 10th, —th, and 28th day post treatment. A significant (P<0.01) reduction of EPG was recorded in treated group A (48.05-65.7%) but it significantly (P0.01) increased the EPG in untreated cattle. The body weight was significantly increased (P<0.05) in treated and decreased in (P<0.05) in untreated groups of cattle. The TEC, Hb, PCV and Neutrophil counts increased significantly (P<0.01) whereas the TLC and eosinophil count decreased significantly (P<0.01) in treated cattle. No significant change was observed in ALT and AST values between treated and untreated groups of animals. The results of this study indicates that a single oral dose of neem extract leaves could reduce 48.05 to 65.77% EPG of gastrointestinal nematode in cattle.

description: We present two families of first-order in time and second-order in space formulations of the Einstein equations (variants of the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formulation) that admit a complete set of characteristic variables and a conserved energy that can be expressed in terms of the characteristic variables. The associated constraint system is also symmetric hyperbolic in this sense, and all characteristic speeds are physical. We propose a family of constraint-preserving boundary conditions that is applicable if the boundary is smooth with tangential shift. We conjecture that the resulting initial-boundary value problem is well-posed.

description: The research work was conducted to determine the seroepidemiology and pathology of mycoplasmosis and salmonellosis in chickens of some selected poultry farms situated at Chatkhil, Noakhali of Bangladesh. A total of 273 serum samples were collected and tested by serum plate agglutination test both for detection of Mycoplasma and Salmonella infections. For the pathological study 5 Mycoplasma seropositive and other 5 Salmonella seropositive live chickens were collected randomly from the farms and sacrificed for necropsy and pathology. Seroprevalence of Mycoplasma and Salmonella infections were 55.6 and 27.1%, respectively. Seasonal prevalence of mycoplasmosis in summer and winter were 51.9% and 59.4% and salmonellosis in summer and winter were 30.4% and 23.8%, respectively. In post mortem investigation the lesions in Mycoplasma positive birds included slight congestion, dark unifocal to multifocal hemorrhagic spot with slightly fibrinous exudate on the lung, flaccid heart, pale and enlarged liver and severely dark, swollen spleen and slight hemorrhagic spot in the ovary with stalk formation. In histopathology the results were found to be mild focal to diffuse interstitial pneumonia with pluritis and proliferation of pneumocytes-II, infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages and severe congestion and hemorrhage in lungs. In liver very few to small-scattered necrotic foci infiltrated with different type of inflammatory cells were found. The Salmonella seropositive birds showed pale liver, slightly hemorrhagic darker ovary with stalk formation. Microscopically, very few scattered necrotic foci infiltrated with different types of inflammatory cells in liver and mild chronic enteritis was observed. However, further studies should be conducted for isolation and identification of different Mycoplasma and Salmonellae, determination of their immunogenic variation and establishment of vaccine with isolated Mycoplasma and Salmonellae.

description: The effects of dietary protein (25, 35 & 45%) on food consumption, growth and body composition of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L (mean weight 10.83±0.32g) were investigated. Individual food consumption rates were measured by X-radiography technique. The highest concentration of dietary protein (45%) enabled the fish to grow faster and more efficiently. The diet containing 45% protein appears to be more suitable for Nile tilapia compared to 35% and 25% protein levels (determined by observed rates of SGR, FC, GE, CVc and FCR). An increase in dietary protein level led to an overall improvement in wet weight gain as evidenced by better wet/gain and feed/gain ratios. Increasing dietary protein level from 25% to 45% had no significant effect on the whole-body composition (protein, lipid and ash) of Nile tilapia. The dominant fish in all three diets had better growth rates than subordinate fish. Results from the present study indicated that fast growing dominant fish consuming the most food are in fact the least efficient in terms of nutrient deposition. This may be as a result of the faster growing dominant fish consuming excess of nutrient and energy requirement for maximum lean growth (protein deposition) and there is an associated increase in protein deposition.

description: Motivated by the Dijkgraaf-Vafa correspondence, we consider the matrix model duals of N=1 supersymmetric SU(Nc) gauge theories with Nf flavors. We demonstrate via the matrix model solutions a relation between vacua of theories with different numbers of colors and flavors. This relation is due to an N=2 nonrenormalization theorem which is inherited by these N=1 theories. Specializing to the case Nf=Nc, the simplest theory containing baryons, we demonstrate that the explicit matrix model predictions for the locations on the Coulomb branch at which monopoles condense are consistent with the quantum modified constraints on the moduli in the theory. The matrix model solutions include the case that baryons obtain vacuum expectation values. In specific cases we check explicitly that these results are also consistent with the factorization of corresponding Seiberg-Witten curves. Certain results are easily understood in terms of M5-brane constructions of these gauge theories.

description: Ensemble smoother (ES) has been widely used in various research fields to reduce the uncertainty of the system-of-interest. However, the commonly-adopted ES method that employs the Kalman formula, that is, ES$_\text{(K)}$, does not perform well when the probability distributions involved are non-Gaussian. To address this issue, we suggest to use deep learning (DL) to derive an alternative update scheme for ES in complex data assimilation applications. Here we show that the DL-based ES method, that is, ES$_\text{(DL)}$, is more general and flexible. In this new update scheme, a high volume of training data are generated from a relatively small-sized ensemble of model parameters and simulation outputs, and possible non-Gaussian features can be preserved in the training data and captured by an adequate DL model. This new variant of ES is tested in two subsurface characterization problems with or without Gaussian assumptions. Results indicate that ES$_\text{(DL)}$ can produce similar (in the Gaussian case) or even better (in the non-Gaussian case) results compared to those from ES$_\text{(K)}$. The success of ES$_\text{(DL)}$ comes from the power of DL in extracting complex (including non-Gaussian) features and learning nonlinear relationships from massive amounts of training data. Although in this work we only apply the ES$_\text{(DL)}$ method in parameter estimation problems, the proposed idea can be conveniently extended to analysis of model structural uncertainty and state estimation in real-time forecasting studies.

description: An experiment was conducted for reducing feed cost and to identify the sustainable culture technique for Thai pangas Pangasius hypophthalmus. Fish maintained in four treatments were either: feed to satiation twice a day (Control-A), feed alternative day (1:1- B), starved two days followed by a spell of two days feeding (2:2-C) and starved for 5 days followed by 5 day feeding (5:5-D) at a stocking density of 100 fingerling per decimal at 28±1.54-9- C. Fish in all four treatments were fed to satiation. Thai Pangas responded to a change from a restricted to satiation feeding showing a highecdaily feed demand compared to their counterparts raised on a liberal-feeding regime. The total feed demand of fish in control treatment was, however, much higher than the fish in other three treatments. Nonetheless, fish that were feed to satiation on alternate day (1.:1) had similar body weights to the controls, and were larger than those exposed to 2 or 5 days of feed deprivation (2:2 or 5:5). There was no significant differences in specific growth rate of fish in the treatments A and B over the experimental period. The highest FCR was found in A (Control) where fish were fed to satiation twice a day. There were also no significant differences in tissue protein level in fish from different treatments. The study provided evidence that Thai Pangas could be cultured in feeding regime with feeding in alternate days Without any significant difference in fish size and final production. In this way, Thai pangas culturists can save feed cost up to 30% and make the culture sustainable following alternate days feeding. As the farmers are giving less feed in the system they can control the water quality in a better way. In addition, this type of feeding regime also helps fish farmers to improve their personal time management since they may not need to attend the fish everyday.

It is found that the correlations from the neutral-resonance decays are important, yielding about a half of the total contribution, which in general consist of resonance and non-resonance parts. The model yields the pionic balance function a few per cent wider that what follows from the recent data for the Au+Au collisions at 130GeV.

The ponds were dried, limed (CaO) at the rate of 247 kg/ha and exposed to sunlight for about two weeks. Urea, super phosphate and cowdung were applied 7 days before stocking of fish fingerlings and then at 10 days interval at the rates of 24.70 kg/ha, 24.70 kg/ ha and 617.50 kg/ha respectively. A total of 34 microalgal genera were identified under four major groups. Some water quality parameters e.g. temperature, transparency, pH, depth and nutrients (NO3-N and PO4-P) were recorded at regular intervals and their relationship with the occurrence and abundance of microalgae were studied. The highest microalgal cell density was found during 16th week (4 October) in all of the treatments corresponded with high nutrient concentrations (NO3-N and PO4-P). Chlorophyceae was the most dominant group followed by Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae and Euglenophyceae except in T4 where Cyanophyceae was dominant. Dissolved oxygen (4.2 to 9.6 mg/I), pH (7.0 to 8.1), temperature (30.2 °C to 32.6 °C), NO3-N (0.46 to 1.38 mg/I) and PO4-P (0.83 to1.73 mg/I) were favourable both for microalgal and fish growth.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this symposium is to compare and contrast the most recent national and global physical activity guidelines. Description: Over the last few years, several countries have developed and released new physical activity guidelines. In addition, The World Health Organization has recently updated their global recommendations on physical activity. While these recent public health guidelines share several commonalities, there are some key differences. These differences can be explained by differences in the development processes, target audiences, stakeholder engagement, and the role of the expert advisory committees in drafting the final recommendations.

Title: Development and Scientific Foundation of the WHO Guidelines on Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour for Children and Adolescents, Adults and Older adults. Results: This symposium will present recent physical activity guidelines developed by the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and the World Health Organization. The presentations will outline the guideline development processes, identify key differences among the guidelines, and explore reasons for these differences. Although all of these guidelines share several core features, there are some differences related to the way in which sleep and sedentary behavior were integrated into the guidelines, as well as differences in the way that the recommended dose and intensity of physical activity is expressed. Conclusions: This symposium addresses several issues related to the congress themes, including epidemiology, the 24-hour paradigm, knowledge translation, and advocacy. Attendees of this symposium will understand the key elements of recent physical activity guidelines, key differences across countries, and reasons for these differences.

description: A significant number of X-ray binaries are now known to exhibit long-term ``superorbital'' periodicities on timescales of $\sim$ 10 - 100 days. Several physical mechanisms have been proposed that give rise to such periodicities, in particular warping and/or precession of the accretion disk. Recent theoretical work predicts the stability to disk warping of X-ray binaries as a function of the mass ratio, binary radius, viscosity and accretion efficiency, and here we examine the constraints that can be placed on such models by current observations. In paper I we used a dynamic power spectrum (DPS) analysis of long-term X-ray datasets (CGRO, RXTE), focusing on the remarkable, smooth variations in the superorbital period exhibited by SMC X-1. Here we use a similar DPS analysis to investigate the stability of the superorbital periodicities in the neutron star X-ray binaries Cyg X-2, LMC X-4 and Her X-1, and thereby confront stability predictions with observation. We find that the period and nature of superorbital variations in these sources is consistent with the predictions of warping theory. We also use a dynamic lightcurve analysis to examine the behaviour of Her X-1 as it enters and leaves the 1999 Anomalous Low State (ALS). This reveals a significant phase shift some 15 cycles before the ALS, which indicates a change in the disk structure or profile leading into the ALS.

description: Generalizing the Lie derivative of smooth tensor fields to distribution-valued tensors, we examine the Killing symmetries and the collineations of the curvature tensors of some distributional domain wall geometries. The chosen geometries are rigorously the distributional thin wall limit of self gravitating scalar field configurations representing thick domain walls and the permanence and/or the rising of symmetries in the limit process is studied. We show that, for all the thin wall spacetimes considered, the symmetries of the distributional curvature tensors turns out to be the Killing symmetries of the pullback of the metric tensor to the surface where the singular part of these tensors is supported. Remarkably enough, for the non-reflection symmetric domain wall studied, these Killing symmetries are not necessarily symmetries of the ambient spacetime on both sides of the wall.

description: Studies were conducted to examine the efficacy of fifteen medicinal plants against common microbial (bacterial and fungal) fish pathogens. Crude extracts were prepared from these medicinal plants and applied to the fresh culture of pre-isolated bacterial (Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Edwardsiella tarda) and fungal pathogens (Aphanomyces invadans, Saprolegnia sp. and Achlya sp.) under in-vitro condition. A high dose was initially used to detect antimicrobial effects of these plants and garlic, turmeric, neem, shoti, akand etc. were screened out strong and moderate effective on the pathogens. In the case of bacterial pathogens, strong inhibitory response was exhibited by garlic and mixed extract of akand + neem; followed by turmeric and akand. Four different doses of plants extract were exposed under the in-vitro condition to determine minimum inhibitory dose (MID). However, garlic offered the best result with 93.33 ± 3.33% recovery of challenged fish (Barbonymus gonionotus) in aquarium trial. Akand + neem, turmeric and akand showed moderate to weak recovery rate with the same dose. In the case of fungi, in-vitro test on the individual culture was done at four pre-selected doses. Treatment trial was performed using the minimum inhibitory dose (MID) of the highly effective plants (viz., turmeric, shoti, neem + turmeric and neem shoti) on experimental infected of fish. Turmeric (80.00 ± 1.15% recovery rate) and neem + turmeric (80.00 ± 2.88% recovery rate) were found to be the most effective plants. These could be used as an effective, low-cost and alternative disease control measure in fish health management.

description: Experimental infections of shing Heteropneustes fossils were conducted with Aeromonas hydrophila to test the pathogenicity of the bacteria in this fish and to determine the median lethal dose (LD50) of the bacteria. Previously isolated and characterized A. hydrophila (CK602) was injected intraperitoneally to shing of 35 g body weight at two doses of 105 and 108 CFU/fish. All experimentally infected fish died within 15 days. In the next experiment, to calculate the LD50 of the pathogen, four different doses viz. 105, 105, 107 and 108 CFU/fish were injected to each group of 10 shing of average body weight 35 g. Mortality was found with the doses between 108 and 108 CFU/fish. LD50 was calculated to be 9.6 x 108 CFU/fish.
MIXED G-STATES IN HELIUM OBSERVED BY ELECTRON IMPACT EXCITATION OF THE TRIPLET-3D AND TRIPLET-4D LEVELS
Creators: name: Simpson, Charles Grayson
Publisher: name: American University

description: Excitation of the 3('3)D and 4('3)D levels of helium by electron impact has been studied by time resolved spectroscopy to determine the relative intensities of cascade components. Absolute cross sections of the cascade components have been determined by normalizing to the measured absolute cross sections of Showalter and Kay (1975). The measured 4('3)F, 5('3)F, 6('3)F, and 5('3)G cascade components were then compared to the mixed F and G state models of van den Eynde et al (1972), Parish and Mires (1971), and the unmixed F state model. A new experimental value for the mixing coefficient (omega)(,n) has been determined. The cross section for the excitation of the mixed G states was found to be much larger than has previously been suggested.

description: Intelligent agents should be able to learn useful representations by observing changes in their environment. We model such observations as pairs of non-i.i.d. images sharing at least one of the underlying factors of variation. First, we theoretically show that only knowing how many factors have changed, but not which ones, is sufficient to learn disentangled representations. Second, we provide practical algorithms that learn disentangled representations from pairs of images without requiring annotation of groups, individual factors, or the number of factors that have changed. Third, we perform a large-scale empirical study and show that such pairs of observations are sufficient to reliably learn disentangled representations on several benchmark data sets. Finally, we evaluate our learned representations and find that they are simultaneously useful on a diverse suite of tasks, including generalization under covariate shifts, fairness, and abstract reasoning. Overall, our results demonstrate that weak supervision enables learning of useful disentangled representations in realistic scenarios.

description: We show that the explosion of the first supernovae can trigger low-mass star formation via gravitational fragmentation of the supernova-driven gas shell. If the shell mass does not exceed the host galaxy gas mass, all explosions with energies E_SN > 10^{51} erg can lead to shell fragmentation. However, the minimum ambient density required to induce such fragmentation is much larger, n_0 > 300 cm^{-3}, for Type II supernovae than for pair-instability ones, which can induce star formation even at lower ambient densities. The typical mass of the unstable fragments is 10^{4-7} Msun; their density is in the range 110-6x10^7 cm{-3}. Fragments have a metallicity strictly lower than 10^{-2.6} Zsun and large values of the gravitational-to-pressure force ratio f ~ 8. Based on these findings, we conclude that the second generation of stars produced by such self-propagating star formation is predominantly constituted by low-mass, long-living, extremely metal-poor (or even metal-free, if mixing is suppressed) stars. We discuss the implications of such results for Pop III star formation scenarios and for the most iron-poor halo star HE0107-5240.

description: The effects of two fertilizer combinations containing a similar amount of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) viz, cow manure, urea and TSP @ 5000, 125 and 100 kg/ha, respectively, (Treatment-1) and poultry-manure, urea and TSP @ of 2000, 125 and 100 kg/ha, respectively, (Treatment-2) on water and sediment quality parameters, and biological production in six earthen ponds of 100 m2 each for a period of eight weeks use studied. The values of N nutrients (NH3-N, NO3-N, NO2-N) in water were significantly lower but that of PO4-P were significantly higher in T-2. Though not significant, total N and available P in the pond sediment were lower in T-2. Four groups of phytoplankton such as Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophycae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae and two groups of zooplankton namely, Crustacean and Rotifer were recorded from the experimental ponds. The mean abundance of both phytoplankton (78.25 ± 6.33 x 104 cells/I) and zooplankton (57.63 ± 4.59 x104 cells/LI), were significantly higher (p<0.05) in ponds treated with poultry manure (Treatment-2). The result of the present study showed that despite iso-nutrients content, poultry manure with urea and TSP is significantly superior to cow manure with urea and TSP for maintaining hydrological conditions and plankton production in earthen ponds.

As a function of current and magnetic field, the dynamical phase diagram contains several distinguishable precessional modes and also static magnetic states. Using detailed comparisons with numerical simulations, we provide rigorous tests of the theory of spin-transfer torques.

(Figs. 11–12, Map 5)
 Diagnosis. This species is easily recognized by the closely spaced double row series of fine elytral punctures. The profemora are dentate in the male, sinuate in the female. The body is fusiform (male) to ovate (female) and both sexes are briefly caudate. The basal two protarsomeres of the male are thickened, dilated, and with spongy-pubescence beneath as in E. goryi. Length: 18–23 mm.
 Distribution. South-central Texas, Rio Grande valley as far north as Burleson County. No records are available for Mexico, but it probably occurs in the northern states as the type locality, Laredo, is on the border and many of LeConte’s specimens were collected by him around the Ringold Barracks (now Rio Grande City).

description: We consider the elastic stress near a hole with corners in an infinite plate under biaxial stress. The elasticity problem is formulated using complex Goursat functions, resulting in a set of singular integro-differential equations on the boundary. The resulting boundary integral equations are solved numerically using a Chebyshev collocation method which is augmented by a fractional power term, derived by asymptotic analysis of the corner region, to resolve stress singularities at corners of the hole. We apply our numerical method to the test case of the hole formed by two partially-overlapping circles, which can include either a corner pointing into the solid or a corner pointing out of the solid. Our numerical results recover the exact stress on the boundary to within relative error $10^{-3}$ for modest computational effort.
