description: The global production and use of biofuels have increased dramatically in the past few years due to volatile and increasing oil prices, and environmental concerns. The main feedstocks for ethanol are sugarcane, maize and, to a lesser extent, wheat, sugarbeet and cassava. Biodiesel oil-producing crops include rapeseed and oil palm. All divert land away from food production to energy production. This has in turn triggered the food versus energy debate, with several studies attributing the rising food prices to the feedstock diversion to biofuels, hurting poor consumers and net food-importing countries. To overcome the food– fuel trade-off several countries are promoting feedstocks that can grow on marginal lands and hence do not compete with food production. At ICRISAT we launched a global pro-poor ‘BioPower Initiative’ focusing on biomass sources and approaches that do not compete with, but rather enhance food and nutritional security. Sweet sorghum is one such ‘smart’ multipurpose crop that does not compromise on food security while producing energy. The grain is used for food and the stalk is used for juice extraction for bioethanol. It is encouraging that the Western Australian Government in partnership with Kimberley Agricultural Investments has plans to grow sweet sorghum on 13,400 hectares of land for processing into bioethanol. Further, the use of sweet sorghum in existing sugar mills as biofuel feedstock provides a win–win situation for both farmers and industry. Data from India, the Philippines, China and Brazil indicate that sweet sorghum is an economically viable, socially equitable, environmentally sustainable and resilient smart crop.

description: Contamination of waters with pharmaceuticals is an alarming problem as it may support the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, fast and cost-effective analytical methods for potential on-site analysis are desired in order to control the water quality and assure the safety of its use as a source of drinking water. Antibody-based methods, such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), can be helpful in this regard but can also have certain pitfalls in store, depending on the analyte. As shown here for the class of β-lactam antibiotics, hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring is a key factor in the immunochemical analysis as it influences antibody recognition. With the antibody used in this study, the limit of detection (LOD) in the immunoassay could be significantly reduced by hydrolysis for the five tested penicillins, with the lowest LOD for carbenicillin (0.2 nmol/L) and the greatest impact on penicillins G and V (reduction by 85%). In addition to enhanced quantification, our strategy also provides access to information about the degree of hydrolysis in water samples as shown for the most abundant penicillin amoxicillin.

description: We study novel type IIB compactifications on the T^6/Z_2 orientifold. This geometry arises in the T-dual description of Type I theory on T^6, and one normally introduces 16 space-filling D3-branes to cancel the RR tadpoles. Here, we cancel the RR tadpoles either partially or fully by turning on three-form flux in the compact geometry. The resulting (super)potential for moduli is calculable. We demonstrate that one can find many examples of N=1 supersymmetric vacua with greatly reduced numbers of moduli in this system. A few examples with N>1 supersymmetry or complete supersymmetry breaking are also discussed.

description: In many extentions of standard model, dimension-5 scalar di-photon ($g_{γγϕ}ϕ$ $F^{μν}F_{μν}$ ) or pseudoscalar di-photon ($g_{γγa}a\tilde{F}^{μν} F_{μν} $, ) interaction materializes due to scale symmetry breaking or $U_A(1)$ symmetry breaking. In a magnetized vacuum (i.e., in an external background field $\bar{F}_{μν} $) the transverse degrees of freedom of the photons-- for such systems-- can be described in terms of the form factors constructed out of the background field strength tensor ($\bar{F}_{μν} $) and the same for dynamical photon ($f^{μν}$); they happen to be $\bar{F}_{μν}f^{μν}$ and ${\tilde{\bar{F}}_{μν}f^{μν}}$. These form factors transform differently under CP transformation. While $\bar{F}_{μν}f^{μν}$ (describing polarization orthogonal to B ($|γ_{||} >$)) is CP even, the other one, ${\tilde{\bar{F}}_{μν}f^{μν}}$( describing polarization along B ($|γ_\bot >$), is CP odd. In the interaction Lagrangian, if the scalar is interchanged with the pseudoscalar, the role of the two form factors just gets interchanged. Thus for nearly degenerate strengths of the coupling constants ( $g_{γγϕ}$ and $g_{γγ_a}$ ) and masses ($m_ϕ$ and $m_a$ ) of the respective candidates, proper identification of one from the other may become very difficult in laboratory or astrophysics based experiments. The basic motivation of this investigation is to reduce this uncertainty through incorporation of parity violating ({\it originating through magnetized medium effects }) part of the photon self-energy in the effective Lagrangian. This step, in turn affects the (Pseudo) Scalar Photon mixing dynamics drastically and brings out a significant change in the spectrum of the electromagnetic beam undergoing such interaction.

description: Abstract: The European Collaborative on Personalized Early Detection and Prevention of Breast Cancer (ENVISION) brings together several international research consortia working on different aspects of the personalized early detection and prevention of breast cancer. In a consensus conference held in 2019, the members of this network identified research areas requiring development to enable evidence-based personalized interventions that might improve the benefits and reduce the harms of existing breast cancer screening and prevention programmes. The priority areas identified were: 1) breast cancer subtype-specific risk assessment tools applicable to women of all ancestries; 2) intermediate surrogate markers of response to preventive measures; 3) novel non-surgical preventive measures to reduce the incidence of breast cancer of poor prognosis; and 4) hybrid effectiveness–implementation research combined with modelling studies to evaluate the long-term population outcomes of risk-based early detection strategies. The implementation of such programmes would require health-care systems to be open to learning and adapting, the engagement of a diverse range of stakeholders and tailoring to societal norms and values, while also addressing the ethical and legal issues. In this Consensus Statement, we discuss the current state of breast cancer risk prediction, risk-stratified prevention and early detection strategies, and their implementation. Throughout, we highlight priorities for advancing each of these areas.

description: We calculate the two loop hard correction to the photon self-energy in an electron-positron plasma (EPP) for arbitrary soft momenta. This provides the only missing ingredient to obtain the Hard Thermal Loop (HTL) effective Lagrangian at next-to-leading order (NLO), and the full photon propagator at the same order. This result can be easily extended to obtain the soft photon propagator in a quark gluon plasma. We use the Keldysh representation of the real time formalism in the massless fermion limit, and dimensional regularization (DR) to regulate any ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR) or collinear divergences that appear in the intermediate steps of the calculation. In the limit of soft photon momenta, our result is finite. It not only provides an ${\cal O}(α)$ correction to the Debye mass, but also a new non-local structure. A consistent regularization of radial and angular integrals is crucial to get this new structure. As an application we calculate the plasmon dispersion relations at NLO.

description: Due to local violence in Mexico and the continuation of safety concerns along the border region, some ports of entry for Mexican cattle imports into the U.S. have been closed. When a port of entry is closed, the USDA establishes temporary facilities for contingency livestock inspection to maintain the flow of trade across the US-Mexico border. The purpose of this research is to identify the border closures’ impact on the trade flows between Mexico and the United States and between different ports of entry from January 2009 to September 2014. The observed bilateral trade flows between two countries could be explained well using statistical methods involving variables as the length of border closures, geographical locations, the US cattle prices relative to Mexican prices, seasonal patterns in the US cattle imports from Mexico, the combined result of drought, and feed costs. Through the use of a regression in Stata software, a series of economic explanatory variables, and a dummy variable for port of entry openings and closure the study attempts to measure how much of impact a closed port of entry has on the nearby ports of entry.

description: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most prevalent bone malignancy in childhood and adolescence, with highly aggressive and early systemic metastases. Here, we reported that celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor in the NSAID class, exhibits strong antitumor activity in dose dependent manner in two OS cell lines-143B and U2OS. We showed that celecoxib inhibits OS cell growth, causes G0/G1-phase arrest, modulates apoptosis and autophagy and reduces migration in OS cells. In addition, the results of fluorescent mitochondrial probe JC-1 test indicated that the mitochondrial pathway mediates celecoxib-induced apoptosis. Significantly, the autophagy inhibitor CQ combined with celecoxib causes greater cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis. Pharmacologic inhibition of autophagy with another potent autophagy inhibitor SAR405 also enhances celecoxib-mediated suppression of cell viability. These results were confirmed with shRNAs targeting the autophagy-related gene Atg5. In OS tumor xenografts in vivo, celecoxib also presents antitumor activity. Taken together, our results shed light on the function and mechanism of antitumor action of celecoxib for treatment of OS patients.

description: Funder: NNIHR Biomedical Research Centre Cambridge: Nutrition, Diet, and Lifestyle Research Theme; Grant(s): IS-BRC-1215-20014
description: Abstract: Background: Characteristics of the built environment, such as neighbourhood fast-food outlet exposure, are increasingly recognised as risk factors for unhealthy diet and obesity. Obesity also has a genetic component, with common genetic variants explaining a substantial proportion of population-level obesity susceptibility. However, it is not known whether and to what extent associations between fast-food outlet exposure and body weight are modified by genetic predisposition to obesity. Methods: We used data from the Fenland Study, a population-based sample of 12,435 UK adults (mean age 48.6 years). We derived a genetic risk score associated with BMI (BMI-GRS) from 96 BMI-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms. Neighbourhood fast-food exposure was defined as quartiles of counts of outlets around the home address. We used multivariable regression models to estimate the associations of each exposure, independently and in combination, with measured BMI, overweight and obesity, and investigated interactions. Results: We found independent associations between BMI-GRS and risk of overweight (RR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.23–1.47) and obesity (RR = 1.73, 95% CI 1.55–1.93), and between fast-food outlet exposure and risk of obesity (highest vs lowest quartile RR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.21–2.05). There was no evidence of an interaction of fast-food outlet exposure and genetic risk on BMI (P = 0.09), risk of overweight (P = 0.51), or risk of obesity (P = 0.27). The combination of higher BMI-GRS and highest fast-food outlet exposure was associated with 2.70 (95% CI 1.99–3.66) times greater risk of obesity. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated independent associations of both genetic obesity risk and neighbourhood fast-food outlet exposure with adiposity. These important drivers of the obesity epidemic have to date been studied in isolation. Neighbourhood fast-food outlet exposure remains a potential target of policy intervention to prevent obesity and promote the public’s health.

description: The price of wine reflects the various features that differentiate each bottle. This study is aimed at analyzing the determinants of Riesling wine prices, one of the most popular varieties in the white wine category. A hedonic price model is estimated using data collected between 2000 and 2015 from the Wine Spectator, with a total of 3078 individual wines, focusing on age, vintage, production, critical points, and variables related to the country of origin. The impact of geographic production of origin from Canada, Germany, France, Italy, New Zealand and South Africa is analyzed. An important aspect of this analysis is to investigate whether the country of origin of production is important, and if any price premium from a key import region like Germany is changing, holding quality and quantity constant. The main findings suggest Riesling prices are determined by time related variables such as age and vintage. The levels of production and expert points given by the Wine Spectator also have a significant impact on prices.
Metal-insulator transition in 2D: the role of interactions and disorder

description: We present a model for the metal-insulator transition in 2D, observed in the recent years. Our starting point consists of two ingredients only, which are ubiquitous in the experiments: Coulomb interactions and weak disorder spin-orbit scattering (coming from the interfaces of the heterostructures in question). In a diagramatic approach, we predict the existence of a characteristic temperature $T_o=T_o(n,ω_H)$, $n$ being the density of carriers, and $ω_H$ the Zeeman energy, below which these systems become metallic. This is in very good agreement with experiments, and corroborates the fact that varying $n$ and $ω_H$ are equivalent ways into/out of the metallic regime. The resistivity, calculated as a function of temperature and $\om_H$ in the metallic state, compares favorably to experiment. We comment on the nature of the transition, and calculate the specific heat of the system.

On limit behavior of quasi-local mass for ellipsoids at spatial infinity

description: We discuss the spatial limit of the quasi-local mass for certain ellipsoids in an asymptotically flat static spherically symmetric spacetime. These ellipsoids are not nearly round but they are of interest as an admissible parametrized foliation defining the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) mass. The Hawking mass of this family of ellipsoids tends to $-\infty$. In contrast, we show that the Hayward mass converges to a finite value. Moreover, a positive mass type theorem is established. The limit of the mass has a uniform positive lower bound no matter how oblate these ellipsoids are. This result could be extended for asymptotically Schwarzschild manifolds. And numerical simulation in the Schwarzschild spacetime illustrates that the Hayward mass is monotonically increasing near infinity.

description: By employing a path integral formulation, we obtain the entropy production rate for a system of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUP) both in the presence and in the absence of thermal noise. The present treatment clarifies some contraddictions concerning the definition of the entropy production rate in the AOUP model, recently appeared in the literature. We derive explicit formulas for three different cases: overdamped Brownian particle, AOUP with and without thermal noise. In addition, we show that it is not necessary to introduce additional hypotheses concerning the parity of auxiliary variables under time reversal transformation. Our results agree with those based on a previous mesoscopic approach.

description: Superconductors involving electrons with internal degrees of freedom beyond spin can have internally anisotropic pairing states that are impossible in single-band superconductors. As a case in point, in even-parity multiband superconductors that break time-reversal symmetry, nodes of the superconducting gap are generically inflated into two-dimensional Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces. The detection and characterization of these quasiparticle Fermi surfaces requires the understanding of their experimental consequences. In this paper, we derive the low-energy density of states for a broad range of possible nodal structures. Based on this, we calculate the low-temperature form of observables that are commonly employed for the characterization of nodal superconductors, i.e., the single-particle tunneling rate, the electronic specific heat and Sommerfeld coefficient, the thermal conductivity, the magnetic penetration depth, and the NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate, in the clean limit. We also address the question whether the topological invariant of the Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces is associated with topologically protected surface states, with negative results. This work is meant to serve as a guide for experimental searches for Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces in time-reversal-symmetry-breaking superconductors.

description: The revolution of information and communication technologies has made service offshoring possible and economically feasible. Only a few studies are available on the impact of service offshoring on productivity in the agri-food sector even if service offshoring in agri-food industries has been increasing rapidly in recent years. This paper uses the world input-output data and the Arellano and Bond (1991) GMM estimator to analyze the impact of service offshoring on the productivity of agri-food industries. The results show service offshoring has had a positive impact on the food industry’s productivity due to the characteristics of food industry.

description: While the disruptive potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data has been receiving growing attention and concern in a variety of research and application fields over the last few years, it has not received much scrutiny in contemporary entrepreneurship research so far. Here we present some reflections and a collection of papers on the role of AI and Big Data for this emerging area in the study and application of entrepreneurship research. While being mindful of the potentially overwhelming nature of the rapid progress in machine intelligence and other Big Data technologies for contemporary structures in entrepreneurship research, we put an emphasis on the reciprocity of the co-evolving fields of entrepreneurship research and practice. How can AI and Big Data contribute to a productive transformation of the research field and the real-world phenomena (e.g., 'smart entrepreneurship')? We also discuss, however, ethical issues as well as challenges around a potential contradiction between entrepreneurial uncertainty and rule-driven AI rationality. The editorial gives researchers and practitioners orientation and showcases avenues and examples for concrete research in this field. At the same time, however, it is not unlikely that we will encounter unforeseeable and currently inexplicable developments in the field soon. We call on entrepreneurship scholars, educators, and practitioners to proactively prepare for future scenarios.

description: Abstract: Plasmodium species are frequently host-specific, but little is currently known about the molecular factors restricting host switching. This is particularly relevant for P. falciparum, the only known human-infective species of the Laverania sub-genus, all other members of which infect African apes. Here we show that all tested P. falciparum isolates contain an inactivating mutation in an erythrocyte invasion associated gene, PfEBA165, the homologues of which are intact in all ape-infective Laverania species. Recombinant EBA165 proteins only bind ape, not human, erythrocytes, and this specificity is due to differences in erythrocyte surface sialic acids. Correction of PfEBA165 inactivating mutations by genome editing yields viable parasites, but is associated with down regulation of both PfEBA165 and an adjacent invasion ligand, which suggests that PfEBA165 expression is incompatible with parasite growth in human erythrocytes. Pseudogenization of PfEBA165 may represent a key step in the emergence and evolution of P. falciparum.

description: We report differential cross sections for the production of D*(2010) produced in 500 GeV/c pi^- nucleon interactions from experiment E791 at Fermilab, as functions of Feynman-x (x_F) and transverse momentum squared (p_T^2). We also report the D* +/- charge asymmetry and spin-density matrix elements as functions of these variables. Investigation of the spin-density matrix elements shows no evidence of polarization. The average values of the spin alignment are η= 0.01 +- 0.02 and -0.01 +- 0.02 for leading and non-leading particles, respectively.

description: We consider the Lefever-Lejeune nonlinear lattice, a spatially discrete propagation-inhibition model describing the growth of vegetation densities in dry-lands. We analytically identify parametric regimes distinguishing between decay (associated with spatial extinction of vegetation patches) and potentially non-trivial time-asymptotics. To gain insight on the convergence dynamics, a stability analysis of spatially uniform states is performed, revealing the existence of a threshold for the discretization parameter which depends on the lattice parameters, below which their destabilization occurs and spatially non-uniform equilibrium states may emerge. Direct numerical simulations justified that the analytical stability criteria and parametric thresholds effectively describe the above transition dynamics and revealed the rich structure of the equilibrium set. Connections with the continuous sibling Lefever-Lejeune partial differential equation are also discussed.

description: Service sectors are really important since most of service sectors are used by other sectors (forward linkage). In this reason, the service trade may have huge effects on domestic industries. There has been the scare research between the service trade and domestic industries especially in agricultural and food industry sector since there is scare in data. The purpose of this paper is that figures out the relationship between the service trade and the TFP (Total Factor Productivity) of domestic agri-food industry. Moreover, this paper checks the difference between effect of service trade on the agricultural sector and the food sector since the food sectors has the processed industry characteristics compared to agricultural sector. Using multilevel model and STAN data set in OECD, this paper finds that the service trade has a positive effect on the domestic food industry considering the forward linkage of service sectors on food sectors. According to the result of random effect, the country with higher competitive in food industry has a small coefficient of service linkage on food sector compared to the country with lower competitive in food industry.

description: The calcination temperature (Cal-Temp) plays a vital role in the performance of supported metal catalysts. In this work, the alumina supported Ni, NiMo, Co, and CoMo catalysts were prepared at different Cal-Temp. The catalysts were characterized by various techniques to identify the catalytically active different surface species to correlate their role in the hydrodeoxygenation of stearic acid. With increasing Cal-Temp, the metal dispersion was increased for Ni, NiMo, and CoMo catalyst (up to 973 K) and decreased for Co catalyst. With increasing Cal-Temp, the catalytic activity was thus increased for Ni and NiMo catalyst and decreased for Co catalyst. The activity of CoMo catalyst was, however, enhanced with rising Cal-Temp up to 973 K and declined slightly after that. The optimum Cal-Temp for Ni, NiMo, Co, and CoMo catalyst was found to be 1023 K, 973 K, 773 K, and 973 K. The reaction followed the decarbonylation route over active metallic centers (Ni and Co) and the HDO route over oxophilic M2+⋅MoO2 (M = Ni/Co) and reducible cobalt oxide species. The C17 alkane was thus the principal product over Ni catalyst, whereas C18 alkane was the primary product over CoMo and NiMo catalyst. In contrast, both C17 and C18 alkanes were significant over Co catalyst.

description: The rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, causes extensive damage to rice production globally, which often results in costly fungicide applications and yield losses. These inefficiencies harm farmers via increased costs in production and subsequently drive up food prices for consumers, which can, in turn, give rise to food insecurity in low-income countries. Moreover, there are blast-resistant rice varieties commercially available in the United States; however, breeding for resistance remains problematic because the fungus continuously evolves. In 2013, scientists at Kansas State University identified a blast- resistant gene in a wild rice variety that could be cisgenically transferred into currently cultivated, high- yielding varieties. Due to regulatory protocols on Genetically Modified Organisms in other countries, this technology is not been commercially available to producers. Consequently, the environmental and financial costs of fungicide applications and subsequent yield losses from the rice blast disease, remain high in the United States and other countries. Correspondingly, the aim of this study is to estimate the increased costs for three different rice blast scenarios in the Mid-South of the United States between 2002 and 2014. In the first scenario, we quantified the costs of two preventive fungicide applications to all hectares sown to blast-susceptible varieties; in the second, we quantified the costs of two mitigating fungicide applications on one blast outbreak area that was simulated based on historical outbreaks; and in the third, we quantified the costs of two mitigating fungicide applications on a simulated outbreak with additional yield loss caused by the fungus. The total financial costs of the rice blast disease for all years in each of the three scenarios were $265,691,269, $117,507,463, and $775,071,706 respectively. Overall, these findings necessitate: (1) more research on cisgenic breeding for blast resistance, (2) more robust policy negotiations, and (3) wide-spread adoption by farmers.

description: Orientifolds with three-form flux provide some of the simplest string examples of warped compactification. In this paper we show that some models of this type have the unusual feature of D=4, N=3 spacetime supersymmetry. We discuss their construction and low energy physics. Although the local form of the moduli space is fully determined by supersymmetry, to find its global form requires a careful study of the BPS spectrum.
