description: Hydroxyurea (HU) is a well-known Hb F-inducing agent with proven clinical and laboratory efficacy for patients with sickle cell disease. However, concerns about its long-term safety and toxicity have limited its prescription by physicians and acceptability by patients. Thus, this study aims to evaluate clinician’s barriers to the use of HU in the management of patients with sickle cell disease in Nigeria. An online survey targeted physicians in pediatrics, hematology, medicine, family medicine and general medical practice managing sickle cell disease in Nigeria. The survey was in four sections: demographic, knowledge and experience with HU, and barriers to the use of HU. Ninety-one (73.0%) of 123 contacts completed the survey. Seventy-three percent and 74.0% of the respondents noted that HU reduced transfusion rates and improved overall quality of life (QOL) of patients, respectively. While the majority of the practitioners (55.6%) see between 10-50 patients per month, most (66.7%) write <5 prescriptions for HU per month. Lack of a national guideline for use of HU, especially in children (52.0%), concern for infertility (52.0%), and safety profile of HU in pregnancy and lactation (48.2%), top the factors considered by the respondents as major barriers to the use of HU. Hydroxyurea is grossly under prescribed in Nigeria, despite that the vast majority of physicians who attend patients with sickle cell disease know about its clinical efficacy. Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines could be explored as a way to standardize practices and improve confidence of practitioners to improve physicians’ prescription of HU in the management of sickle cell disease.

description: The process of identifying key information in unstructured sets of textual information is complex and multiple-aspect. In this regard various methods and technologies are being actively developed that can improve the analysis process and reduce the gap between the quality of the obtained results and the computational resources required for the analysis. This article provides an example of an alternative method for determining information proximity in large arrays of textual information. A distinctive feature of this method is the application of spectral conversion of the information and means of descriptive logic for the logical inference of analysis results of the text documents array. The main components of the method as well as conditions and statements of the logical inference of the analysis results are considered. The analysis of the obtained results based on the results of the approbation of the method is given. The obtained results clearly demonstrate the possibility of applying the method for semantic classification problems in information decision-making systems.

description: We perform the covariant operator quantization of the spin-$1$ model in $2+1$ spacetime dimensions to rigorously establish its dualities. For this purpose, the Kugo-Ojima-Nakanishi formalism, based on an indefinite metric Hilbert space in the Heisenberg picture, is used. We show that it is possible to extract a massive physical excitation constructed from a linear combination of the vector field $A_μ$ and the $B$-field. In turn, we also show that this excitation generates the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. This is achieved by exploring the two-point function of the vector field.

description: An algorithm for piecewise continuous approximation of structural experimental multidimensional signals with a previously unknown number of intervals for splitting signals into "similar" fragments is proposed. The construction of a multidimensional piecewise continuous approximating function is performed "left – to – right", which allows to use the dynamic programming method to determine the boundaries of the partition intervals. The approximation quality criterion is used, taking into account the number of data on the partition intervals and the "complexity" of the local signal models used.

description: The basic socio-political unit of the Ikwerre is the village group made up of people who claim common descent from a given ancestry through the male line, the village is divided to have been founded by the various sons of extended families which also lie within a definite compound. It may involve the man, his wife or wives, grown up sons and their wives and children. The political framework of Ikwerre at the pre-colonial times reflect the structure of the village while the smallest unit of political organization is the compound. At this level, the father was the disciplinarian and ensured the welfare of the family. This is closely followed by the lineage group whose welfare was left in the hand of the compound heads. This study examines the political institutions in Ikwerre with reference to Nye-Eli and council of elders

description: Despite being a low‐income, agriculture‐based country with a subsistence‐orientation, Laos is in the early stages of a major economic transformation whereby rural households have been experiencing rapid change in their farming and livelihood systems. Some households have engaged in what the World Bank classifies as market‐oriented farming while other households have adopted labour‐oriented or migration‐oriented livelihood strategies. This paper explores how rural households in six villages in the lowlands of Champasak Province in southern Laos make a living. These villages vary in their access to irrigation and to markets. Nevertheless, in all villages, long‐term migration of younger household members to neighbouring Thailand has come to play a large role in household livelihood strategies. In some cases this is necessary to meet the household’s consumption requirements; in others, it is part of a diversified strategy in which rice farming still plays a significant role, whether for subsistence or the market. The paper examines some of the issues involved in pursuing intensive, market‐oriented rice farming in a context of an emerging on‐farm labour shortage combined with an increasing flow of remittances from migrant family members.

description: Electron avalanching in liquid argon is being studied as a function of voltage, pressure, radiation intensity, and the concentrations of certain additives, especially xenon. The avalanches produced in an intense electric field at the tip of a tungsten needle are initiated by ionization from a moveable americium (241Am) gamma ray source. Photons from xenon excimers are detected as photomultiplier signals in coincidence with the current pulse from the needle. In pure liquid argon the avalanche behavior is erratic, but the addition of even a small amount of xenon (>100ppm) stabilizes the performance. Similar attempts with neon (30%) as an additive to argon have been unsuccessful. Tests with higher energy gamma rays (57Co) yield spectra and other performance characteristics quite similar to those using the 241Am source. Two types of signal pulses are commonly observed: a set of pulses that are sensitive to ambient pressure, and a set of somewhat smaller pulses that are not pressure dependent.

description: Integrated frequency comb generators based on Kerr parametric oscillation have led to chip-scale, gigahertz-spaced combs with new applications spanning hyperscale telecommunications, low-noise microwave synthesis, LiDAR, and astrophysical spectrometer calibration. Recent progress in lithium niobate (LN) photonic integrated circuits (PICs) has resulted in chip-scale electro-optic (EO) frequency combs, offering precise comb-line positioning and simple operation without relying on the formation of dissipative Kerr solitons. However, current integrated EO combs face limited spectral coverage due to the large microwave power required to drive the non-resonant capacitive electrodes and the strong intrinsic birefringence of Lithium Niobate. Here, we overcome both challenges with an integrated triply resonant architecture, combining monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) with PICs based on the recently emerged thin-film lithium tantalate. With resonantly enhanced EO interaction and reduced birefringence in Lithium Tantalate, we achieve a four-fold comb span extension and a 16-fold power reduction compared to the conventional non-resonant microwave design. Driven by a hybrid-integrated laser diode, the comb spans over 450nm (60THz) with >2000 lines, and the generator fits within a compact 1cm^2 footprint. We additionally observe that the strong EO coupling leads to an increased comb existence range approaching the full free spectral range of the optical microresonator. The ultra-broadband comb generator, combined with detuning-agnostic operation, could advance chip-scale spectrometry and ultra-low-noise millimeter wave synthesis and unlock octave-spanning EO combs. The methodology of co-designing microwave and optical resonators can be extended to a wide range of integrated electro-optics applications.

description: We have studied how a generic bilayer kagome lattice behave upon layer rotation. We employed a Tight Binding model with one orbital per site and found (i) for low rotational angles, and at low energies, the same flat bands structure like in twisted bilayer graphene; though, for a larger value of the magic angle. Moreover, (ii) at high energies, due to the superstructure symmetry regions, we found the characteristics three band dispersion of the kagome lattice. In the latter, its band width decreases for lower angles confining them within a few meV. Therefore, we found in twisted kagome lattice the coexistence of two sets of flat bands in different energies and lying in different spatial regions of the bilayer system.

We improve previous results, showing the existence of a new phase and new triple points. New striking features are the triple end of the Haldane phase and the complexity of phases bordering the Haldane phase in proximity allowing moving to nearby non-SPT phases via small perturbations. These characteristics make the system, which appears in Rydberg excitons, e.g. in Cu$_2$O, a prime candidate for applications.

Sweat Stones
Creators: name: Grammer, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

Sweat Stones is a story collection and a novel excerpt. All of its parts are set in the American South, and are concerned with the intersection between class and geography. The majority of the characters are a part of underrepresented portions of their local population—they are trapped within cycles of poverty, in turns longing for escape and wearing their mixed brands of anguish like badges. The longer stories have firm roots in Realism, while the shorter ones, which serve as breaks between the collection’s major sections, are tinged with degrees of Absurdism or Magical Realism. Through these stories I hope to have translated what can be translated about a place—its rhythms and personalities, the images and logics that distinguish it from anywhere else. It’s a kind of language-made hallucination. As the characters buckle under the weight of their rigors, their stories push against the limits of plausibility. Most share these stylistic concerns, especially those written in first-person. But even when the voice and tone shift into what seems like a different narrative realm, what holds them together are the dire situations of the characters. A poor family suffers the death of a child and the father has to leave them for work. A marginalized group of stage riggers use up all of their energy for nothing. A man feeds into his self-loathing as a series of capricious relationships unravel. Sweat Stones, which takes its name from the flat slates that heat the contemplative atmosphere of a sweat lodge, is a reflection on the mutual burdens borne of laborious life. It’s a gesture of solidarity for a particular kind of struggle, in which I have participated in one form or another. Along the way I met the people, grew up around the places that would become the subjects of this fiction.

description: The quantum Fisher information matrix provides us with a tool to determine the precision, in any multiparametric estimation protocol, through quantum Cramér-Rao bound. In this work, we study simultaneous and individual estimation strategies using the density matrix vectorization method. Two special Heisenberg $XY$ models are considered. The first one concerns the anisotropic $XY$ model in which the temperature $T$ and the anisotropic parameter $γ$ are estimated. The second situation concerns the isotropic $XY$ model submitted to an external magnetic field $B$ in which the temperature and the magnetic field are estimated. Our results show that the simultaneous strategy of multiple parameters is always advantageous and can provide a better precision than the individual strategy in the multiparameter estimation procedures.

description: The article discusses the process of recognizing handwritten characters presented in tables of technical railway documentation and test works of students of PGUPS. In the model under study, a skeleton graph is constructed for each recognizable region and the procedure for statistical processing of the characteristics of the branches of skeletal graphs is analyzed.Skeletal graphs are constructed for reference symbols and are dynamically replaced during recognition by skeletal graphs of recognized areas. The nature of dependencies between the components of skeletal graphs of reference symbols and dynamically added objects is investigated. In the process of automatic recognition of handwritten characters, the obtained statistical results are applied.

description: CP violation plays a privileged role in our quest for new physics beyond the electroweak standard model (SM). In the SM the violation of CP in the weak interactions has a single source: the phase of the quark mixing matrix (the CKM matrix, for Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa). Most extensions of the SM exhibit new sources of CP violation. For instance, the truly minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM (CMSSM) has two new phases in addition to the CKM phase. Given that CP violation is so tiny in the kaon system, is still largely unexplored in B physics and is negligibly small in the electric dipole moments, it is clear that new physics may have a good chance to manifest some departure from the SM in this particularly challenging class of rare phenomena. On the other hand, it is also apparent that CP violation generally represents a major constraint on any attempt at model building beyond the SM. In this review we tackle these two sides of the relation between CP violation and new physics. Our focus will be on the potentialities to use CP violation as a probe on Supersymmetric (SUSY) extensions of the SM. We wish to clarify the extent to which such indirect signals for SUSY are linked to a fundamental theoretical issue: is there a relation between the mechanism that originates the whole flavor structure and the mechanism that is responsible for the breaking of supersymmetry? Different ways to answer this question lead to quite different expectations for CP violation in B physics.

description: Mallee farmers minimize downside risk in dry seasons by applying low rates of nitrogen (N) fertiliser to their cereal crops. The opportunity to respond to and capitalize on the better years is further limited as most inputs are applied upfront at sowing. We used an economic-risk decision model to identify a range of tactical N fertilisation options that increase net returns, while minimising risk for farmers with different risk attitudes. Importantly, we concluded that when accounting for long-term risks affecting farmers, the use of higher N rates can play a risk-reducing role in a highly variable environment like the Mallee.

description: Highly compressed nuclear matter created in relativistic heavy collisions is to large extent governed by local non-equilibrium. As an idealized scenario colliding nuclear matter configurations are studied within both, relativistic mean field theory and using more realistic in-medium interactions based on the Dirac-Brueckner T-matrix. The equation of state in anisotropic matter is thereby governed by two competing effects: The enlarged phase space volume in colliding matter tends to soften the internal potential energy of the subsystems whereas the relative motion of the two currents leads to a strong additional repulsion in the system. An effective EOS constructed for anisotropic momentum configurations shows a significant net softening compared to ground state nuclear matter. This effect is found to be to large extend independent on the particular choice of the nuclear interaction. A critical discussion of standard transport approaches with respect to the considered non-equilibrium effects is given.

description: This work introduces a new method to improve the accuracy of the flamelet-generated manifold (FGM) method under conditions of flame–wall interactions (FWI). Special attention is given to the prediction of the pollutant CO. In existing FGM methods, in order to account for heat loss, usually flamelets with constant enthalpy are utilised. These constant enthalpy flamelets used to generate the manifold, do not include the effects of wall heat loss on the manifold composition, resulting in simulation inaccuracies in the near-wall region, where large enthalpy gradients are present. To address this issue, the idea to utilise 1D head on quenching (HOQ) flamelets for tabulated chemistry is adopted and applied here in the context of the FGM method. The HOQ qualitatively resembles the general phenomena of FWI. However, the rates of wall heat loss and the accompanied effects on the chemical species composition may quantitatively differ between various FWI configurations. In addition, the magnitude of heat transfer rate may vary in space and time in general configurations. Therefore, in this work, a method is introduced to generate a 3D manifold, based on multiple HOQ-like flamelets, that includes the variation of the rate of heat loss as an extra table dimension. This dimension is parametrised by a second reaction progress variable for which a transport equation is solved next to the equations for enthalpy and the first progress variable. The new developed method, referred to as Quenching Flamelet-generated Manifold (QFM), is described in this work. Further, the method is validated against detailed chemistry simulations of a two-dimensional premixed laminar side-wall quenching of a methane-air flame. A comparison is presented, analysing the performance obtained using the existing 2D FGM method, a 2D QFM that is based on a single HOQ flamelet which does not account for a varying rate of wall heat loss and a 3D QFM, which does. Finally, it is shown that the 3D QFM tabulated chemistry simulation yields a very good level of accuracy and that the accuracy for prediction of CO concentrations near the wall is improved tremendously.

description: Many theoretical expressions of dissipation along non-equilibrium processes have been proposed. However, they have not been fully verified by experiments. Especially for systems strongly interacting with environments the connection between theoretical quantities and standard thermodynamic observables are not clear. We have developed a computer simulation based on a spin-boson model, which is in principle exact and suitable for testing the proposed theories. We have noted that the dissipation obtained by measuring conventional thermodynamic quantities deviates from the second law of thermodynamics presumably due to the strong coupling. We show that additive correction to entropy makes it more consistent with the second law. This observation appears to be consistent with the theory based on the potential of mean force.

description: Controlling the current-phase relation (CPR) of Josephson elements is essential for tailoring the eigenstates of superconducting qubits, tuning the properties of parametric amplifiers, and designing nonreciprocal superconducting devices. Here, we introduce the hybrid Josephson rhombus, a highly tunable superconducting circuit containing four semiconductor-superconductor hybrid Josephson junctions embedded in a loop. Combining magnetic frustration with gate-voltage-controlled tuning of individual Josephson couplings provides deterministic control of the harmonic content of the rhombus CPR. We show that for balanced Josephson couplings at full frustration, the hybrid rhombus displays a $π$-periodic $\cos(2φ)$ potential, indicating coherent charge-$4e$ transport. Tuning away from the balanced configuration, we observe a superconducting diode effect with efficiency exceeding 25%. These results showcase the potential of hybrid Josephson rhombi as fundamental building blocks for noise-resilient qubits and quantum devices with custom transport properties.

description: The main drivers of tropical forest biodiversity loss are land clearing for agriculture, pasture and timber plantation development, followed by logging activities that degrade forests. Deforestation and forest degradation also significantly contribute to climate change, given that they contribute about 12–15% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change in turn negatively affects biodiversity and agricultural activities in tropical countries. Therefore the governance of forest biodiversity needs to be closely connected to the governance of the climate. The following governance factors need to be addressed to reduce tropical forest biodiversity loss. First, corruption and illegal logging appear to contribute to deforestation and forest degradation. Second, the roles in forest management of the various government levels will need to be clearly spelt out, and the appropriate performance-based financial incentives (and related capacity) for forest conservation be provided to the appropriate government levels. Third, economic incentives need to be present for countries to commit to changes in the policies that drive deforestation and forest degradation. These economic incentives will be most effective when they directly reach the holders of the property and management rights to forests. Property and management rights will need to be adjusted for economic incentives to be effective and equitable, and benefit local and indigenous communities. The paper suggests policies and activities that the Australian government could implement within Australia and through the development assistance program to support a mechanism for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD), to reduce biodiversity loss, reduce carbon emissions, and contribute to local livelihoods.

description: Micro-organisms were the first forms of life on earth and have evolved into the most ecologically, genetically and metabolically diverse species known. Micro-organisms belong to all three Domains of life: The Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya as well as the Viruses. They have shaped the evolution of the planet and continue to nurture and sustain the environment, plants and animals on which human society depends. While we continue to face difficulties posed by emerging animal, plant and human pathogens, most microorganisms are beneficial. Exploitation of microbial genetic diversity has been fundamental to advances made in biodiscovery and biotechnology. Micro-organisms are major sources of important pharmaceutical and industrial products for worldwide community benefits in health, agriculture and industry. Cultures of micro-organisms have been essential for the production of enzymes, fermentation products and metabolites. With advances in molecular biology, genes of micro-organisms and whole natural communities are being exploited and fuelling accelerated interest in biodiscovery. The OECD is strongly promoting that biological resource centres are essential to underpin advances in biotechnology, the life sciences and the bioeconomy. Microbial resource centres are more than collections. They work within the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) that was implemented to support the conservation and utilisation of biodiversity and recognises the principles of fair and equitable benefit sharing. They preserve and provide authenticated, genetically stable microbial and cell cultures, provide access to information on cultures and their characteristics, and undertake identification and description of new species. In Australia, the Council of Heads of Australian Collections of Micro-organisms is collaborating with the NCRIS Atlas of Living Australia project to develop the Australian Microbial Resources Information Network (AMRiN) integrated collections database to provide access to information on Australian microbial cultures for use in research, industry, government and education.

description: Analysis of the present data on the semileptonic process $B \to π\ell ν$ indicates that they have not yet reached the precision to provide adequate information on the $B \to π$ form factor $F_+(q^2)$, which for $q^2 = m_π^2$ is known to be related to the factorized color-favored (``$T$'', or ``tree'') contribution to $B^0 \to π^+ π^-$. It is shown here that with around 500 $B \to π\ell ν$ events in which rate and spectrum are measured one can improve the accuracy of $T$ by a significant amount. A recent CLEO determination of the $D^* D π$ coupling constant is compared with an earlier prediction, and its role in the description of the $B \to π$ form factors is noted. When combined with an estimate of the penguin amplitude (``$P$'') obtained using flavor SU(3) symmetry from $B \to K π$ decays, information on $T$ allows one to gauge the effects of the penguin amplitude on extraction of the weak phase $α= ϕ_2$ from the time-dependent CP-violating rate asymmetry in $B^0 \to π^+ π^-$. The constraint on $α$ implied by a recent experimental result on this asymmetry is described.

description: We report on a possible cloud-cloud collision in the DR 21 region, which we found through molecular observations with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. We mapped an area of 8'x12' around the region with twenty molecular lines including the 12CO(J=1-0) and 13CO(J=1-0) emission lines, and sixteen of them were significantly detected. Based on the 12CO and 13CO data, we found five distinct velocity components in the observed region, and we call molecular gas associated with these components -42, -22, -3, 9, and 17 km/s clouds taking after their typical radial velocities. The -3 km/s cloud is the main filamentary cloud (31,000 Mo) associated with young massive stars such as DR21 and DR21(OH), and the 9 km/s cloud is a smaller cloud (3,400 Mo) which may be an extension of the W75 region in the north. The other clouds are much smaller. We found a clear anticorrelation in the distributions of the -3 and 9 km/s clouds, and detected faint 12CO emission having intermediate velocities bridging the two clouds at their intersection. These facts strongly indicate that the two clouds are colliding against each other. In addition, we found that DR21 and DR21(OH) are located in the periphery of the densest part of the 9 km/s cloud, which is consistent with results of recent numerical simulations of cloud-cloud collisions. We therefore suggest that the -3 and 9 km/s clouds are colliding, and that the collision induced the massive star formation in the DR21 cloud. The interaction of the -3 and 9 km/s clouds was previously suggested by Dickel et al. (1978), and our results strongly support their hypothesis of the interaction.

description: This thesis describes the design and implementation of a Modula compiler for the Burroughs 81700 computer, suitable for implementing an alternative operating system to that supplied by the manufacturer. Modula is a modern, high - level multiprogramm1ng language designed for real-time applications. The 81700 is a dynamically microprogrammable computer , with an unusual architecture. The i mplementation of Modula on the 81700 provides an opportunity to investigate some of the ramifications of the machine's architecture. The 81700 computer is first described, followed by a discussion of the Modula dialect implemented. The v irtual Modula machine, implement ed in microcode, is presented next. Features and structure of the Modula compiler and the 81700 microprograms are discussed, and the thesis concludes with some general remarks. Several appendices are included.

description: The fifth generation (5G) systems are expected to be able to support massive number of wireless devices and intense demands for high data rates while maintaining low latency. Coordinated multipoint (CoMP) is advocated by recent advances and is envisioned to continue its adoption in 5G to meet these requirements by alleviating inter-cell interference and improving spectral efficiency. The higher requirements in 5G have raised the stakes on developing a new CoMP architecture. To understand the merits and limitations of CoMP in 5G, this article systematically investigates evaluation criteria including key performance indicators (KPIs) and key quality indicators (KQIs) in 5G, conducts empirical measurements and field tests, and then proposes a KPI/KQI-driven CoMP architecture that fulfills KPI requirements and provides KQI guarantee for each user.

Richardson extrapolation for the discrete iterated modified projection solution

description: Approximate solutions of Urysohn integral equations using projection methods involve integrals which need to be evaluated using a numerical quadrature formula. It gives rise to the discrete versions of the projection methods. For $r \geq 1,$ a space of piece-wise polynomials of degree $\leq r - 1$ with respect to an uniform partition is chosen to be the approximating space and the projection is chosen to be the interpolatory projection at $r$ Gauss points. Asymptotic expansion for the iterated modified projection solution is available in literature. In this paper, we obtain an asymptotic expansion for the discrete iterated modified projection solution and use Richardson extrapolation to improve the order of convergence. Our results indicate a choice of a numerical quadrature which preserves the order of convergence in the continuous case.
New Underground Neutrino Observatory - GENIUS- in the New Millenium : for Solar Neutrinos, Dark Matter and Double Beta Decay

description: Double beta decay is indispensable to solve the question of the neutrino mass matrix together with $ν$ oscillation experiments. The most sensitive experiment since eight years - the Heidelberg-Moscow experiment in Gran-Sasso - already now, with the experimental limit of < m_ν> < 0.26 eV excludes degenerate $ν$ mass scenarios allowing neutrinos as hot dark matter in the universe for the small angle MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem. It probes cosmological models including hot dark matter already now on the level of future satellite experiments MAP and PLANCK. It further probes many topics of beyond Standard Model physics at the TeV scale. Future experiments should give access to the multi-TeV range and complement on many ways the search for new physics at future colliders like LHC and NLC. For neutrino physics GENIUS will allow to test almost all neutrino mass scenarios allowed by the present neutrino oscillation experiments. At the same time GENIUS will cover a wide range of the parameter space of predictions of SUSY for neutralinos as cold dark matter. Further it has the potential to be a real-time detector for low-energy (pp and 7Be) solar neutrinos. A GENIUS Test Facility has just been funded and will come into operation by end of 2001.
