description: Economic theory often provides information on the variables to be included in economic relationships (e.g., demands are functions of prices) and sometimes provides information on the signs and magnitudes of first- and second-order derivatives (e.g., homogeneity and concavity information). However, it rarely provides information concerning functional forms. In the absence of this information, it is common to assume a specific functional form (e.g., translog) and subsume errors of approximation into a disturbance term. Unfortunately, the estimated parameters of these approximating relationships do not consistently estimate the economically-relevant characteristics of the true relationship unless the latter is of the approximating class (White, 1980). Practical econometric solutions to the problem are now becoming available. This paper discusses kernel regression (KR), flexible least squares (FLS), generalized restricted least squares (GRLS) and latent class (LC) estimators. The empirical performance of all four estimators is assessed using an artificially-generated data set. Three of the estimators are then used to estimate characteristics of a labour demand function for US agriculture.

description: We present an efficient and parsimonious algorithm to solve mixed initial/final-value problems. The algorithm optimally limits the memory storage and the computational time requirements: with respect to a simple forward integration, the cost factor is only logarithmic in the number of time-steps. As an example, we discuss the solution of the final-value problem for a Fokker-Planck equation whose drift velocity solves a different initial-value problem -- a relevant issue in the context of turbulent scalar transport.

Pixel correlation searches for OVI in the Lyman alpha forest and the volume filling factor of metals in the Intergalactic Medium at z ~ 2-3.5

description: Artificial absorption spectra are used to test a variety of instrumental and physical effects on the pixel correlation technique for the detection of weak OVI absorption. At HI optical depths <= 0.3-1, the apparent OVI detections are spurious coincidences due to HI absorption at other redshifts. In this range, the apparent OVI optical depth is independent of HI optical depth. At larger HI optical depths, apparent OVI optical depth and HI optical depth are correlated. Detailed modelling is required in order to interpret the significance of this relation. High-resolution spectra of four QSOs together with a large suit of synthetic spectra are used to show that the detection of OVI in individual spectra is only statistically significant for overdensities >= 5. These overdensities are larger than would be naively inferred from the onset of the correlation and a tight optical depth-density relation. The lower limit for the volume filling factor of regions which are enriched by OVI is 4% at 95% confidence. This is no larger than the observed volume filling factor of the winds from Lyman break galaxies. Previous claims that the observed OVI absorption extends to underdense regions and requires a universal metal enrichment with large volume filling factor, as may be expected from population III star formation at very high redshift, appear not to be warranted.

description: The hundreds of scientists comprising the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) maintain that there is a consensus that humans are changing the global climate. Yet many commentators in the media dispute this, and a reader of such commentaries would surely conclude that climate change is a controversy rather than a consensus. This is simply incorrect – the overwhelming majority of climate scientists accept the reality of the greenhouse effect and its impact on the current climate. The main arguments advanced by media commentators to dispute the IPCC position will be examined and rebutted.

Abstract
Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) [Lokelma™] is a useful, orally-administered option for the treatment of hyperkalaemia in adults. As a non-absorbed, non-polymer compound, SZC lowers serum potassium levels by binding potassium in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and promoting faecal potassium excretion. SZC is effective in restoring and maintaining normokalaemia and is generally well tolerated; most adverse events (AEs) reported in phase 3 clinical trials were manageable without treatment interruption. SZC appears to be effective and generally well tolerated regardless of common factors associated with hyperkalaemia, including concomitant renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) therapy, chronic kidney disease, diabetes and heart failure. Recent data suggest that SZC is also effective and similarly well tolerated in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving haemodialysis, who typically have persistent predialysis hyperkalaemia. Real-world data and additional long-term data will be valuable in more definitively establishing the position of SZC in the treatment of hyperkalaemia.

description: This paper has been withdrawn temporarily by the authors. As stars close to the galactic centre have short orbital periods it has been possible to trace large fractions of their orbits in the recent years. Previously the data of the orbit of the star S2 have been fitted with Keplerian orbits corresponding to a massive black hole (MBH) with a mass of M$_{BH}$=3-4$\times10^6$M_sun implying an insignificant cusp mass.However, it has also been shown that the central black hole resides in a ~1'' diameter stellar cluster of a priori unknown mass. In a spherical potential which is neither Keplerian nor harmonic, orbits will precess resulting in inclined rosetta shaped trajectories on the sky. In this case, the assumption of non-Keplerian orbits is a more physical approach. It is also the only approach through which cusp mass information can be obtained via stellar dynamics of the cusp members. This paper presents the first exemplary modelling efforts in this direction. Using positional and radial data of star S2, we find that there could exist an unobserved extended mass component of several 10$^5$M$_{\odot}$ forming a so-called 'cusp' centred on the black hole position. Considering only the fraction of the cusp mass M$_{S2_{apo}}$ within the apocenter of the S2 orbit we find as an upper limit that M$_{S2_{apo}}$/(M$_{BH}$ + M$_{S2_{apo}}$) $\le$ 0.05. A large extended cusp mass, if present, is unlikely to be composed of sub-solar mass constituents, but could be explained rather well by a cluster of high M/L stellar remnants, which we find to form a stable configuration.

No significant deviation from Standard Model prediction is observed. 95% C.L. upper limits on the production cross section of the narrow-width resonance times its branching fraction to ttbar are presented for different resonance masses, M_X. We also exclude the existence of a leptophobic topcolor particle, X, with M_X < 560 GeV/c^2 for a width Γ_X = 0.012 M_X.

description: We study inelastic electron tunneling through a molecular junction using the non-equilibrium Green function (NEGF) formalism. The effect of the mutual influence between the phonon and the electron subsystems on the electron tunneling process is considered within a general self-consistent scheme. Results of this calculation are compared to those obtained from the simpler Born approximation and the simplest perturbation theory approaches, and some shortcomings of the latter are pointed out. The self-consistent calculation allows also for evaluating other related quantities such as the power loss during electron conduction. Regarding the inelastic spectrum, two types of inelastic contributions are discussed. Features associated with real and virtual energy transfer to phonons are usually observed in the second derivative of the current I with respect to the voltage when plotted against the latter. Signatures of resonant tunneling driven by an intermediate molecular ion appear as peaks in the first derivative d(current)/d(voltage) and may show phonon sidebands. The dependence of the observed vibrationally induced lineshapes on the junction characteristics, and the linewidth associated with these features are also discussed.

description: We present an analysis of star formation and quenching in the SDSS-IV MaNGA-DR15, utilising over 5 million spaxels from $\sim$3500 local galaxies. We estimate star formation rate surface densities ($Σ_{\rm SFR}$) via dust corrected $Hα$ flux where possible, and via an empirical relationship between specific star formation rate (sSFR) and the strength of the 4000 Angstrom break (D4000) in all other cases. We train a multi-layered artificial neural network (ANN) and a random forest (RF) to classify spaxels into `star forming' and `quenched' categories given various individual (and groups of) parameters. We find that global parameters (pertaining to the galaxy as a whole) perform collectively the best at predicting when spaxels will be quenched, and are substantially superior to local/ spatially resolved and environmental parameters. Central velocity dispersion is the best single parameter for predicting quenching in central galaxies. We interpret this observational fact as a probable consequence of the total integrated energy from AGN feedback being traced by the mass of the black hole, which is well known to correlate strongly with central velocity dispersion. Additionally, we train both an ANN and RF to estimate $Σ_{\rm SFR}$ values directly via regression in star forming regions. Local/ spatially resolved parameters are collectively the most predictive at estimating $Σ_{\rm SFR}$ in these analyses, with stellar mass surface density at the spaxel location ($Σ_*$) being by far the best single parameter. Thus, quenching is fundamentally a global process but star formation is governed locally by processes within each spaxel.

description: This study uses data collected from retail grocery chains during marketing season 2003-2004 to examine the external quality and price variations of Pacific Northwest pears. Quality refers to overall fruit appearance and presence of external disorders. Results from a bivariate probit model show that fruit weight and firmness had a positive effect on overall appearance. Results from a hedonic price model show that the recurrence of external disorders is not necessarily negatively correlated with price variations. Overall, this study shows the need to investigate methods of storage, packing, and transportation to achieve the ideal fruit characteristics that appeal to consumers, wholesalers, and retailers.

description: There is limited evidence on the role of chronic statin therapy in the prevention of acute pancreatitis after ERCP. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of statins in the prophylaxis of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Bibliographic search was performed through May 2020. The primary outcome was post-ERCP pancreatitis rate. An additional endpoint was the rate of severe pancreatitis. Nine studies, of which 1 prospective and 8 retrospective series, with 9374 patients were included. Baseline clinical and technical features were well balanced between the two study groups. Overall, pooled rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis was 4.8% (3.2%-6.4%) in the statin group and 7.1% (5.9%-8.3%) in the control group, with no difference in terms of pancreatitis rate (odds ratio 0.66, 95% confidence interval 0.43–1.02). This finding was confirmed in the multivariate analysis adjusted for several clinical and technical characteristics (adjusted odds ratio 0.68, 0.40–1.15). No difference was observed between the two study groups in terms of severe pancreatitis rate (odds ratio 1.07, 0.61–1.89). Our meta-analysis seems to suggest the non-superiority of chronic statin therapy in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis.

description: A stated-preference model was specified by a logit model to analyze consumers’ willingness-to-pay a five-per cent premium to purchase environmentally friendly products in Newfoundland and Labrador. Although the industry suffers from insufficient number of certified producers in the region, the findings from the model reflect the existence of potential demands for environmentally friendly products. Results showed that survey respondents were willing to pay at least a five-per cent premium, as they believed pesticide residues would have negative impacts on their health conditions. In addition, being married, higher degree of education, knowledge about new methods of farming practices, such as integrated-pest management, and early adopters in trying newly introduced products were among the factors affecting consumer decisions in paying the premium.

description: We extend the scope of the Raychaudhuri-Komar singularity theorem of General Relativity to affine theories of gravity with and without torsion. We first generalize the existing focusing theorems using time-like and null congruences of curves which are hypersurface orthogonal, showing how the presence of torsion affects the formation of focal points in Lorentzian manifolds. Considering the energy conservation on a given affine gravity theory, we prove new singularity theorems for accelerated curves in the cases of Lorentzian manifolds containing perfect fluids or scalar field matter sources.

Most farmers sell to wholesalers, followed by direct to consumer, direct to retailer, and finally to processors. A relatively high percentage of farmers grade crawfish prior to sale, with fewer washing, peeling, and purging crawfish. Probit results show farm size, farm income, household income, age, education, and pre-market grading and washing operations significantly affecting farmer selection of marketing outlet.

description: This report is a documentation of the RRS2019 Summit. It serves as the event proceedings and compiles information from the group discussions in an unbiased manner with the intent that it can be used as a resource or reference for special purpose actions.[1] We hope this report will inspire and support others to begin their own internal dialogue about responsible research within their individual communities. Over the course of the Summit, ten groups tackled Responsible Research from every perspective. This included both the aspirational and high-level issues, and the granular, thornier issues. Two sessions focused on challenges and aspirations with specific ideas to address them. Two other sessions focused on solutions, concentrated on actionable ideas, that can be considered by stakeholder groups: deans, senior scholars, journal editors, association and accreditation leaders. The 2019 Summit ended with many actionable ideas, and participants left with their personal commitments, but it was not an end in itself.

description: This paper used an electronic survey conducted in Texas to study the main factors affecting the frequency of purchase, measured in transactions per month, for ornamental plants. While we found several differences in demographic characteristics of respondents, the two major factors impacting the frequency of buying for ornamental plants were the purpose of the purchase (self use vs. gifts) and seasonality. Respondents with a college degree in the older age groups, and higher income levels had a lower frequency of buying while individuals with medium income levels increase frequency of buying. Several ornamental plant attributes were also included in the analysis.

description: Meningitis is the most severe manifestation of tuberculosis, resulting in death or disability in over 50% of those affected, with even higher morbidity and mortality among patients with HIV or drug resistance. Antimicrobial treatment of Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is similar to treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, although some drugs show poor central nervous system penetration. Therefore, intensification of antibiotic treatment may improve TBM treatment outcomes. In this review, we address three main areas: available data for old and new anti-tuberculous agents; intensified treatment in specific patient groups like HIV co-infection, drug-resistance, and children; and optimal research strategies. There is good evidence from preclinical, clinical, and modeling studies to support the use of high-dose rifampicin in TBM, likely to be at least 30 mg/kg. Higher dose isoniazid could be beneficial, especially in rapid acetylators. The role of other first and second line drugs is unclear, but observational data suggest that linezolid, which has good brain penetration, may be beneficial. We advocate the use of molecular pharmacological approaches, physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic studies to define optimal regimens to be tested in clinical trials. Exciting data from recent studies hold promise for improved regimens and better clinical outcomes in future.

description: Electron-ion Bremsstrahlung (free-free) emission and absorption occur in many astrophysical plasmas for a wide range of physical conditions. This classical problem has been studied multiple times, and many analytical and numerical approximations exist. However, accurate calculations of the transition from the non-relativistic to the relativistic regime remain sparse. Here we provide a comprehensive study of the free-free Gaunt factors for ions with low charge (Z<=10). We compute the Gaunt factor using the expressions for the differential cross section given by Elwert & Haug (EH) and compare to various limiting cases. We develop a new software package, BRpack, for direct numerical applications. This package uses a combination of pre-computed tables and analytical approximations to efficiently cover a wide range of electron and photon energies, providing a representation of the EH Gaunt factor to better than 0.03% precision for Z<=2. Our results are compared to those of previous studies highlighting the improvements achieved here. BRpack should be useful in computations of spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background, radiative transfer problems during reionization or inside galaxy clusters, and the modeling of galactic free-free foregrounds. The developed computational methods can furthermore be extended to higher energies and ion charge.

description: A tightly focused laser beam (laser wire) is used for measurement of transverse electron beam sizes in storage rings and linear colliders. It is assumed that the laser beam does nothing with the electron beam except Compton scatterings which happen with a rather small probability. In reality, electrons crossing the laser beam get kicks (with 100 % probability) proportional to the square of the laser field and inversely proportional to the beam energy. In practical cases of beam diagnostics this effect is negligible.

description: We determine exactly the ground state of the one-dimensional periodic Anderson model (PAM) in the strong hybridization regime. In this regime, the low energy sector of the PAM maps into an effective Hamiltonian that has a ferromagnetic ground state for any electron density between half and three quarters filling. This rigorous result proves the existence of a new magnetic state that was excluded in the previous analysis of the mixed valence systems.

description: This study analyzes U.S. cocoa bean imports from twenty-one major cocoa-producing and exporting countries during the pre- and post-liberalization period of 1970-2008 using the gravity equation and a linear one-way fixed effects model. The objective was to measure trade creation for a World Trade Organization (WTO) member that has undergone trade liberalization. Cocoa beans can serve as a proxy for any tropical commodity upon which a developing country heavily relies on for export revenue, such as is the case with cocoa for Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, for example. Our results find participation in free trade agreements (FTAs) and WTO membership do contribute to increased U.S. cocoa bean imports at the one percent and five percent confidence levels, respectively.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We conduct an experiment with grocery store shoppers using an onsite survey to examine the effectiveness of nutrition labels provided on grocery store shelves. We measure effectiveness of the nutrition labels in terms of how well the labels attract attention and if they affect shopper behavior. Based on our sample, we find that shelf label nutrition information not only attracts shopper attention but affects shopper behavior as well. Further, we find the effect is moderated by a shopper’s propensity to use nutrition information. Our results suggest providing nutrition information via grocery store shelf labels may be a useful medium to convey nutrition information to shoppers. Additionally, increasing interest in nutrition information and the ability to use the information can have important implications.

description: SAR despeckling is a key tool for Earth Observation. Interpretation of SAR images are impaired by speckle, a multiplicative noise related to interference of backscattering from the illuminated scene towards the sensor. Reducing the noise is a crucial task for the understanding of the scene. Based on the results of our previous solution KL-DNN, in this work we define a new cost function for training a convolutional neural network for despeckling. The aim is to control the edge preservation and to better filter manmade structures and urban areas that are very challenging for KL-DNN. The results show a very good improvement on the not homogeneous areas keeping the good results in the homogeneous ones. Result on both simulated and real data are shown in the paper.

description: Introduction: Meningitis is the most severe manifestation of tuberculosis, resulting in death or disability in over 50% of those affected, with even higher morbidity and mortality among patients with HIV or drug resistance. Antimicrobial treatment of Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is similar to treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, although some drugs show poor central nervous system penetration. Therefore, intensification of antibiotic treatment may improve TBM treatment outcomes. Areas covered: In this review, we address three main areas: available data for old and new anti-tuberculous agents; intensified treatment in specific patient groups like HIV co-infection, drug-resistance, and children; and optimal research strategies. Expert commentary: There is good evidence from preclinical, clinical, and modeling studies to support the use of high-dose rifampicin in TBM, likely to be at least 30 mg/kg. Higher dose isoniazid could be beneficial, especially in rapid acetylators. The role of other first and second line drugs is unclear, but observational data suggest that linezolid, which has good brain penetration, may be beneficial. We advocate the use of molecular pharmacological approaches, physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic studies to define optimal regimens to be tested in clinical trials. Exciting data from recent studies hold promise for improved regimens and better clinical outcomes in future.

description: Lasers that operate in the visible wavelength range and can be easily integrated on a chip together with photonic integrated circuits are of particular interest for biophotonic applications. We present a new class of laser sources that emit at 600 nm wavelength and can be efficiently integrated on the $\mathrm{Si}_3\mathrm{N}_4$ platform using low-cost fabrication techniques. The $\mathrm{Si}_3\mathrm{N}_4$-organic hybrid lasers are optically pumped from top without the need of a precise alignment. We investigate different laser geometries based on spiral shaped ring resonators and distributed feedback resonators. We discuss the laser properties with a focus on their application in the field of bioscience.

description: We present, and analyze thoroughly, a highly symmetric and efficient scheme for the determination of a single-qubit state, such as the polarization properties of photons emitted by a single-photon source. In our scheme there are only four measured probabilities, just enough for the determination of the three parameters that specify the qubit state, whereas the standard procedure would measure six probabilities.

Remarks. Representing the latest snake addition to Singapore’s herpetofauna, P. punctata was first detected on 12 September 2014 at NSSF when two live individuals were caught in fish traps set out for an aquatic biodiversity survey (Thomas et al. 2014). One of the individuals was deposited in LKCNHM as a voucher specimen and the other was released (Thomas et al. 2014). Two months after, on 22 November 2014, an additional individual was found dead in a submerged fish trap, and contained a catfish, Clarias leiacanthus, in its stomach (Tan et al. 2014). Phytolopsis punctata likely evaded discovery due to its very specific and secretive lifestyle, being restricted to blackwater streams and peat swamps (Murphy 2007). A year later, a live individual was found in a small stream in the NSSF section of USRP on 5 December 2015 (Serin et al. 2019). An unpublished record of one seen at NSSF on 3 June 2017 is shown in Figure 24E (H. Siow pers. comm.). As NSSF is Singapore’s last remaining freshwater swamp forest, it is expected that P. punctata is confined to that area.
