description: This study provides an analysis of producers’ crop planting decision behavior in response to econometric factors, the biophysical environment, and biofuel policy mandates. Specifically, we measure the effects due to economic impacts on an area planted with corn from 1990 to 2015. We develop a crop supply response model and estimate that acres planted with corn in the state of North Dakota have increased by 1.2 million over the last twelve years. Also, the value of crop price elasticities indicates a significant impact on corn planted acreage decisions due to change in crop prices. Corn future price and ethanol price elasticities are positively impacted by corn planted acreage whereas corn planted acreage negatively impacts competitive crop price elasticities. We find that impact of climate variables on corn acreage decision is evident. We show that the inclusion of county interaction effect variables significantly improves the model parameters. Key findings also indicate that a 1% increase in soil moisture in month of May led to a 0.1486% increase in corn acreage expansion. Similarly, as maximum temperature increased during the planting season, corn planted acreage expanded significantly. Also, the total rainfall is positively correlated with corn planted acreage as expected. For example, a 1% increase in total rainfall led to a 0.2143% increase in total corn planted acreage.

description: We present a simple, modular graph-based convolutional neural network that takes structural information from protein-ligand complexes as input to generate models for activity and binding mode prediction. Complex structures are generated by a standard docking procedure and fed into a dual-graph architecture that includes separate sub-networks for the ligand bonded topology and the ligand-protein contact map. This network division allows contributions from ligand identity to be distinguished from effects of protein-ligand interactions on classification. We show, in agreement with recent literature, that dataset bias drives many of the promising results on virtual screening that have previously been reported. However, we also show that our neural network is capable of learning from protein structural information when, as in the case of binding mode prediction, an unbiased dataset is constructed. We develop a deep learning model for binding mode prediction that uses docking ranking as input in combination with docking structures. This strategy mirrors past consensus models and outperforms the baseline docking program in a variety of tests, including on cross-docking datasets that mimic real-world docking use cases. Furthermore, the magnitudes of network predictions serve as reliable measures of model confidence

description: We study cosmological solutions in the context of 4-dimensional low energy Heterotic M-theory with moving bulk branes. In particular we present non-trivial, analytic axion solutions generated by new symmetries of the full potential-free action which are similar to 'triple axion' solutions found in Pre-Big-Bang (PBB) cosmologies. We also consider the presence of a non-perturbative superpotential, for which we find cosmological solutions with and without a background perfect fluid. In the absence of a fluid the dilaton and the T-modulus go to the potential-free solutions at late time, while the moving brane tries to avoid colliding with the boundary and stabilize within the bulk. When the fluid is included, we find that the real parts of the fields track its behaviour and that the moving brane gets stabilized at the middle point between the boundaries. In this latter case we can make analytic approximations for the evolution of the fields whether or not axions are included and we consider the possibility of this set up being a realization of the quintessential scenario.

description: We call "Dyson process" any process on ensembles of matrices in which the entries undergo diffusion. We are interested in the distribution of the eigenvalues (or singular values) of such matrices. In the original Dyson process it was the ensemble of n by n Hermitian matrices, and the eigenvalues describe n curves. Given sets X_1,...,X_m the probability that for each k no curve passes through X_k at time τ_k is given by the Fredholm determinant of a certain matrix kernel, the extended Hermite kernel. For this reason we call this Dyson process the Hermite process. Similarly, when the entries of a complex matrix undergo diffusion we call the evolution of its singular values the Laguerre process, for which there is a corresponding extended Laguerre kernel. Scaling the Hermite process at the edge leads to the Airy process and in the bulk to the sine process; scaling the Laguerre process at the edge leads to the Bessel process. Generalizing and strengthening earlier work, we assume that each X_k is a finite union of intervals and find for the Airy process a system of partial differential equations, with the end-points of the intervals of the X_k as independent variables, whose solution determines the probability that for each k no curve passes through X_k at time τ_k. Then we find the analogous systems for the Hermite process (which is more complicated) and also for the sine process. Finally we find an analogous system of PDEs for the Bessel process, which is the most difficult.

description: The asteroid belt is characterized by an extreme low total mass of material on dynamically excited orbits. The Nice Model explains many peculiar qualities of the solar system, including the belt's excited state, by invoking an orbital instability between the outer planets. However, previous studies of the Nice Model's effect on the belt's structure struggle to reproduce the innermost asteroids' orbital inclination distribution. Here, we show how the final phase of giant planet migration sculpts the asteroid belt, in particular its inclination distribution. As interactions with leftover planetesimals cause Saturn to move away from Jupiter, its rate of orbital precession slows as the two planets' mutual interactions weaken. When the planets approach their modern separation, where Jupiter completes just short of five orbits for every two of Saturn's, Jupiter's eccentric forcing on Saturn strengthens. We use numerical simulations to show that the absence of asteroids with orbits that precess between 24-28 arcsec/yr is related to the inclination problem. As Saturn's precession speeds back up, high inclination asteroids are excited on to planet crossing orbits and removed from the inner main belt. Through this process, the asteroid belt's orbital structure is reshaped, leading to markedly improved simulation outcomes.

description: The dramatic global food price upsurges of 2007/2008 and the resurgence of 2010/2011 have kept the welfare effects of food price shocks at the epicentre of policy discussions worldwide. Studies have found heterogeneous impacts, but empiricallylittle is known in Nigeria. The key objectives of this study are to examine the welfare, i.e. food quantity consumption, dietary diversity, and economic welfare effects of food price spikes among households in Nigeria. Using the 2012/2013 and 2015/2016 Household Survey Panel Data, the linear individual (fixed) effects models were estimated while controlling for participation in safety net interventions and other factors to achieve the stated objectives. Findings suggest that higher spike in the price of cereals consistently has negative effect on food quantity (including calories) consumed, dietary diversity, and economic welfare of households, spikes of price of other staples, animal proteins, fats and oils, fruits and vegetables exert heterogeneous influence. Female headed households advance calorie consumption and dietary variety. Findings suggest that food distribution may be more effective in improving welfare of households than direct cash transfers.Efforts to mitigate extreme spikes in the prices of staples (especially cereals) are relevant for improved food security, nutrition and overall household welfare. However, if policy actions are complemented with food distribution and sensitively guided welfare related gender interventions, more improvementsfor livelihoods can be achieved.

description: We study the problem of learning to map, in an unsupervised way, between domains A and B, such that the samples b in B contain all the information that exists in samples a in A and some additional information. For example, ignoring occlusions, B can be people with glasses, A people without, and the glasses, would be the added information. When mapping a sample a from the first domain to the other domain, the missing information is replicated from an independent reference sample b in B. Thus, in the above example, we can create, for every person without glasses a version with the glasses observed in any face image. Our solution employs a single two-pathway encoder and a single decoder for both domains. The common part of the two domains and the separate part are encoded as two vectors, and the separate part is fixed at zero for domain A. The loss terms are minimal and involve reconstruction losses for the two domains and a domain confusion term. Our analysis shows that under mild assumptions, this architecture, which is much simpler than the literature guided-translation methods, is enough to ensure disentanglement between the two domains. We present convincing results in a few visual domains, such as no-glasses to glasses, adding facial hair based on a reference image, etc.

description: Phosphorus is a key element in food production, but is a non-renewable resource. Recent estimates suggest that global production of P fertilizers will peak in 2033 and will be one third of that peak level by the end of the 21st century. Population and income growth will increase demand for food, and especially animal protein, the production of which will accelerate the rundown in P reserves and the consequential rise in fertilizer prices. The global distribution of current P fertilizer use divides countries into the ‘haves’ which in many cases face severe pollution problems from excess P, and the ‘have-nots’ in which low input use annually drains soil P reserves. Coping strategies include improvements in the efficiency of fertilizer P manufacture and use, and the recycling of P in liquid and solid wastes. The latter approach offers win-win solutions by reducing the environmental pollution of water in highly populated areas. Future utilisation of scarce P reserves requires policy decisions that take account of equity, productivity, environmental and trade considerations. Biological solutions designed to increase P use efficiency, such as improving crop varieties and mycorrhiza associations, and the use of P accumulating plants as green manures, are also considered.

description: The NASA mission Kepler has detected 28 transits with depths and durations hours in the light curve of HD139139 during a 87 days campaign . Their arrival times are erratic. Rappaport et al. (2019) discard ten explanations. It is not clear if the transits are for HD 139139 or for a star B at 3.3 arcsec. New radial velocity variation data give RV for HD139139 in 4 days (F. Bouchy and S. Udry, private communication) excluding a close-in planet orbiting HD 139139, as proposed earlier (Schneider 2019). (However, this explanation is still valid for the star B for which radial velocity data are very poor). Here I thus explore new tentative explanations and their likelihood: 1/ An eccentric transiters belt around HD 139139 2/ Interstellar transiters 3/ Solar System objects.

description: We propose that the dissipative dynamics of topological defects in a spiral state is responsible for the transport properties in the spin-glass phase of cuprates. Using the collective-coordinate method, we show that topological defects are coupled to a bath of magnetic excitations. By integrating out the bath degrees of freedom, we find that the dynamical properties of the topological defects are dissipative. The calculated damping matrix is related to the in-plane resistivity, which exhibits an anisotropy and linear temperature dependence in agreement with experimental data.

description: Since 1986, Vietnam has moved from a centrally planned towards a market-oriented system through several major economic and trade reforms. First positive results of the reform process became visible in the early 1990s when poverty declined significantly. The Vietnamese agricultural sector has also experienced high growth and impressive export achievements. The country changed from a food importer to one of the major exporters worldwide. The question arises to what extent support policies contributed to this growth, especially of the agricultural sector. To answer this question, domestic and trade policies in the agricultural sector are analysed and the market price support (MPS) and producer support estimates (PSEs) are calculated. To account for the special conditions in Vietnam, adjustments for country- and commodity-specific factors like transportation costs, marketing margins and the quality difference of exportables (or importables) at the border and domestically are included. Selected agricultural commodities for MPS and PSE calculation comprise rice, coffee, tea, rubber, pepper, sugar, groundnut, cashew nut and pig meat. Their shares in total output exceed 70% allowing for a generalization of the calculated PSEs, thus roughly representing the whole agricultural sector. The finding is that most agricultural products were taxed in the mid 1980s until the mid 1990s. This was mainly due to the dominance and monopoly position of the state-owned sector, restrictive trade policies like import and export quotas and licenses, and distorted markets and prices in the country. The domestic reform process and the opening of the economy since the early 1990s, however, impacted on the gaps between the domestic and international prices. Thus, since the mid 1990s, the net support of agriculture became positive and increased - but still reaching only rather moderate levels. This study of Vietnam is the third comprehensive review conducted within an IFPRI project on understanding and assessing domestic and trade policies in the agricultural sector in developing countries. The data are meant to deliver a basis for further trade-related research to be conducted in the future.

Subjects: Platform architecture, energy, UML diagrams, use cases

description: This deliverable D2.3 presents the first iteration of BD4OPEM platform architecture. It provides the conceptual architecture, which is focused on the coexistence of both ICT and energy domains. The report explores the methodological approaches available, selecting the 4+1 Architectural View Model [1] as the most suitable approach for BD4OPEM. This enables addressing different stakeholders’ concerns and establishing the baseline for supporting future tasks, as it is a reusable and versatile model. Moreover, it provides a complete mapping between the 4+1 architectural model and SGAM reference architecture. Based on the selected architectural design, this first release focuses on three views: the logical view, corresponding to the logical connection between the different layers; the implementation view covering the internal and external specifications and functionalities with their respective UML diagrams; and, finally, the process view presenting the dynamic behaviour of the BD4OPEM system. The behaviour is presented through UML sequence diagrams, based on the use cases submitted in D2.1 ("Concept design and use-cases").

description: We summarize recent progress in the theory of exclusive rare and semileptonic B decays, focusing on model-independent results. The heavy-to-light form factors parameterizing these decays admit a model-independent description in two distinct kinematical regions. In the large-energy limit of an energetic light meson, the Soft-Collinear Effective Theory can be used to prove factorization formulas for the form factors. We present factorization formulas for all B-> P,V form factors at leading order in Lambda/m_b. Near the zero-recoil point, Heavy Quark Effective Theory gives useful relations among the form factors of different currents.

description: Standard two-dimensional orientation-field based phase-field models rely on a continuous scalar field to represent crystallographic orientation. The corresponding order parameter space is the unit circle, which is not simply-connected. This topological property has important consequences for the resulting multi-grain structures: (i) trijunctions may be singular; (ii) for each pair of grains, there exist two different grain boundary solutions that cannot continuously transform to one another; (iii) if both solutions appear along a grain boundary, a topologically stable, singular point defect must exist between them. While (i) can, (ii) and therefore (iii) cannot be interpreted in the classical picture of grain boundaries. In addition, singularities cause difficulties, such as lattice pinning in numerical simulations. To overcome these problems, we propose two new formulations of the model. The first is based on a 3-component unit vector field, while in the second we utilise a 2-component vector field with an additional potential. In both cases, the additional degree of freedom introduced make the order parameter space simply-connected, which removes the topological stability of these defects.

Menopause group medical visits led by nurse practitioners
Creators: name: Wolfe, Lori
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Women in Canada and around the world vary in their experience of menopause. Symptom severity and perception of menopause effects symptom management and accessing of primary care services. A mismatch exists between the holistic menopausal care that women want and what primary care can provide. Group medical visits increase access to primary care, improve health outcomes and increase satisfaction with care. Success of group medical visits in chronic disease management outcomes, particularly around self-efficacy, may be transferable to menopause group medical visits. Increased self-care abilities may in turn influence health behaviours, and ultimately outcomes of modifiable diseases in later life. Nurse Practitioner training and skills are well suited to the facilitation style of group medical visits. The project described in this paper is a series of Nurse Practitioner-led group medical visit lesson plans designed to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction with menopause-related primary care.

description: The azimuthal distributions of photons and charged particles with respect to the event plane are investigated as a function of centrality in Pb + Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c in the WA98 experiment at the CERN SPS. The anisotropy of the azimuthal distributions is characterized using a Fourier analysis. For both the photon and charged particle distributions the first two Fourier coefficients are observed to decrease with increasing centrality. The observed anisotropies of the photon distributions compare well with the expectations from the charged particle measurements for all centralities.
description: 8 pages and 6 figures. The manuscript has undergone a major revision. The unwanted correlations were enhanced in the random subdivision method used in the earlier version. The present version uses the more established method of division into subevents separated in rapidity to minimise short range correlations. The observed results for charged particles are in agreement with results from the other experiments. The observed anisotropy in photons is explained using flow results of pions and the correlations arising due to the decay of the neutral pions

description: While community-based health insurance (CBHI) becomes increasingly integrated into health systems in developing countries, there is still limited research and evidence on its probable health impacts beyond its functions for health financing or for facilitating access to services. Using a cross-sectional data from rural south-west Uganda, we apply a two-stage residual inclusion instrumental variables method to study the impact of community health insurance on stunting in children under five years. Results indicate that each year a household was enrolled in insurance was causally associated with a reduction in the probability of stunting of 5.7 percentage points. Predictive marginal effects show that children in households which have had insurance for at least 5 years had a probability of stunting of only 0.353 compared to 0.531 for children in households with no insurance. Households in CBHI were more likely to attend more free antenatal and postnatal care visits and report fewer illnesses and reported less health expenditures. Moreover, CBHI enrolment was also associated with reduced health costs. We recommend that developing countries should facilitate the expansion of community health insurance scheme not only for their contribution to health financing but even more for mortality and morbidity aversion.

description: Community-based health insurance (CBHI) schemes have emerged as strong pathways to universal health coverage in developing countries. Their examination has largely focussed on their impacts on financial protection and on the utilisation of curative health services. However, very little is known about their possible effect on utilisation of preventive health services and strategies and yet developing countries continue to carry a burden of easily preventable illnesses. To understand if this effect exists, we carry out a cross-sectional survey in communities served by a large CBHI scheme in rural south-western Uganda. We then apply inverse probability weighting of the propensity score to analyse quasiexperimental associations. We find that the probabilities for using long-lasting mosquito nets, vitamin A and iron supplementation and child deworming were significantly increased with participation in CBHI. We postulate that this effect is partly due to information diffusion and social learning within CBHI-participating burial groups. This work gives insight into the broader effects of CBHI in developing countries, beyond financial protection and utilisation of hospital-based services.

Pesic, Asadi, Saboori & Akrami (6/2/0); IR11 Mazandaran Province, Ramsar, Safa stream near Gavramak village (ca. 37°14’N 49°9’E), 22ºC, 19.07.2003, leg. Pesic, Asadi, Saboori & Akrami (12/20/0); IR47 Tehran Province, Elburs Mt., Sijan stream in Sijan village (under Dareh Bridge, ca. 35°55’17N 51°8’54E), 14.08.2003, leg. Pesic & Saboori (29/26/0); IR64 Northern Khorrasan Province, Gojki road to Kalat (ca. 94 km to Kalat, 59º45´E 36º35´N), stream, ca. 1400 m asl., 05.06.2005, leg. Pesic & Saboori (1/7/0).
 Remarks: The population from northern side of Elburs Mountain (IR8 Ramsar area) differs from the population from southern side (IR47 Charan stream) in the low P­2/P­4 ratio (1.0–1.06 vs. 1.06–1.10), slightly minor idiosoma dimensions and a slightly longer palp (314–332 vs. 296–312). These differences may suggest that there is some degree of genetic isolation between these populations.
 Distribution: E Europe, Mediterranean, Turkey, Iran (new for Iran).

description: Η διπλωματική εργασία παρουσιάζει τους συχνότερους τραυματισμούς σε overhead ρίπτες αθλητές ομαδικών και ατομικών αθλημάτων και εστιάζει στα αίτια, την πρόληψη και την αποκατάστασή τους. Για να γίνει πιο κατανοητή στον αναγνώστη, μελετάει τα είδη, τους παράγοντες και το μηχανισμό πρόκλησης των τραυματισμών. Επιπλέον, περιγράφει τα συμπτώματα αλλά και το μηχανισμό επούλωσης της αθλητικής κάκωσης. Επίσης, αναλύει τη φύση και τις απαιτήσεις των ριπτικών αθλημάτων και επεξεργάζεται τα επιδημιολογικά δεδομένα ως προς τη συχνότητα εμφάνισης και τα σημεία των τραυματισμών ώστε να γίνει αντιληπτό ποια άρθρωση επιβαρύνεται περισσότερο στο σώμα ενός αθλητή και το αίτιο. Επιπρόσθετα, δίνει έμφαση στους τραυματισμούς του άνω άκρου λόγω της overhead κίνησης που απαιτείται να κάνουν οι αθλητές και κυρίως στην άρθρωση του ώμου που επιβαρύνεται περισσότερο. Ακόμα, εντοπίζει τα κενά που υπάρχουν στη βιβλιογραφία για μελλοντικές έρευνες ενώ μέσω της έρευνας που παρουσιάζει καταλήγει στο άθλημα με τους περισσότερους τραυματισμούς. Τέλος, επικεντρώνεται στην επίδραση που θα έχει η πανδημία στην απόδοση των αθλητών και προτείνει τρόπους πρόληψης και πρωτόκολλα αποκατάστασης ώστε να μειωθούν οι τραυματισμοί.
description: The aim of the study is to examine the most common injuries in athletes of team and individual sports with overhead throwing movements and focuses on their causes, prevention and rehabilitation. To be more specific, the types, factors and mechanisms of injuries are described, while, at the same time the symptoms and the mechanisms of healing are analyzed as well. It also, refers to the nature and requirements of all throwing sports and presents epidemiological data regarding the frequency and the parts of the body that are injured so as to determine which joint is most affected and its cause. Moreover, it emphasizes the injuries of the upper limb due to the overhead movement that athletes are required to make and especially the injury to the shoulder joint that is more burdened. Furthermore, it detects the bibliographic gaps and it plays emphasis on the sport with the most injuries. Finally, it concentrates on the effect that the pandemic Covid-19 has on the performance of athletes and suggests ways of prevention and rehabilitation protocols so as to reduce injuries in the future.

description: We present a new model for galactic bars with exponentially falling major axis luminosity profiles and Gaussian cross-sections. This is based on the linear superposition of Gaussian potential-density pairs with an exponential weight function, using an extension of the method originally introduced by Long & Murali (1992). We compute the density, potential and forces, using Gaussian quadrature. These quantities are given as explicit functions of position. There are three independent scaled bar parameters that can be varied continuously to produce bespoke bars of a given mass and shape. We categorise the effective potential by splitting a reduced parameter space into six regions. Unusually, we find bars with three stable Lagrange points on the major axis are possible. Our model reveals a variety of unexpected orbital structure, including a bifurcating $x_1$ orbit coexisting with a stable $x_4$ orbit. Propeller orbits are found to play a dominant role in the orbital structure, and we find striking similarities between our bar configuration and the model of Kaufmann & Contopoulos (1996). We find a candidate orbital family, sired from the propeller orbits, that may be responsible for the observed high velocity peaks in the Milky Way's bar. As a cross-check, we inspect, for the first time, the proper motions of stars in the high velocity peaks, which also match our suggested orbital family well. This work adds to the increasing body of evidence that real galactic bars may be supported at least partly by propeller orbits rather than solely the $x_1$ family.

Effect of the Berendsen thermostat on dynamical properties of water

description: The effect of the Berendsen thermostat on the dynamical properties of bulk SPC/E water is tested by generating power spectra associated with fluctuations in various observables. The Berendsen thermostat is found to be very effective in preserving temporal correlations in fluctuations of tagged particle quantities over a very wide range of frequencies. Even correlations in fluctuations of global properties, such as the total potential energy, are well-preserved for time periods shorter than the thermostat time constant. Deviations in dynamical behaviour from the microcanonical limit do not, however, always decrease smoothly with increasing values of the thermostat time constant but may be somewhat larger for some intermediate values of $τ_B$, specially in the supercooled regime, which are similar to time scales for slow relaxation processes in bulk water.

description: The impact of liquid drops onto solid surfaces leads to conversion of kinetic energy of directed drop motion into various forms of energy including surface energy, vibrational energy, heat, and under suitable conditions, electrical energy. The latter has attracted substantial attention in recent years for its potential to directly convert energy from random environmental flows such as rainfall, spray, and wave motion on the sea to electrical energy. Despite the invention of numerous configurations of such energy harvesters, the underlying physical principles and optimum operation conditions have remained elusive. In this letter, we use a combination of high-speed electrical current and video imaging measurements to develop a parameter-free quantitative description of the energy harvesting process for an optimized electrode configuration. A novel electrowetting-assisted charge injection method, EWCI, enables highly stable surface charges and robust energy conversion for several months with record efficiencies exceeding 2.5 percent of the initial kinetic energy.
