description: This paper seeks to examine the role of multi-plant’s network to determine their affiliated plants’ emissions in response to tightened environmental regulations. Polluting plants, which are located across the nation and are exposed to regional environmental pressures, form a network through their affiliated parent company. We investigate whether or not these multi-plant firms, to avoid local environmental compliance, shift pollution emissions from their affiliated plants in regulated counties to those in unregulated ones, thereby leading to emissions leakage. We compile a unique detailed plant-level dataset that pertains to the U.S. manufacturing industry over the period 1990-2008. Taking advantage of the spatial and temporal variations of designated nonattaintment status at county level, we seek to identify the effects of multi-plant firms’ network on annual changes in emissions of affiliated plants residing in regulated areas as compared with those in unregulated areas.

description: Spontaneous emission from excitonic transitions in InAs/GaAs quantum dots embedded in photonic crystal waveguides at 5K into non-guided and guided modes is determined by direct hyperspectral imaging. This enables measurement of the absolute coupling efficiency into the guided modes, the beta-factor, directly, without assumptions on decay rates used previously. Notably, we found beta-factors above 90% over a wide spectral range of 40meV in the fast light regime, reaching a maximum of (99 $\pm$ 1)%. We measure the directional emission of the circularly polarized transitions in a magnetic field into counter-propagating guided modes, to deduce the mode circularity at the quantum dot sites. We find that points of high directionality, up to 97%, correlate with a reduced beta-factor, consistent with their positions away from the mode field antinode. By comparison with calibrated finite-difference time-domain simulations, we use the emission energy, mode circularity and beta-factor to estimate the quantum dot position inside the photonic crystal waveguide unit cell.

description: We present a new method for generating robust guesses for unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) by post-processing turbulent data using dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). The approach relies on the identification of near-neutral, repeated harmonics in the DMD eigenvalue spectrum from which both an estimate for the period of a nearby UPO and a guess for the velocity field can be constructed. In this way, the signature of a UPO can be identified in a short time series without the need for a near recurrence to occur, which is a considerable drawback to recurrent flow analysis, the current state-of-the-art. We first demonstrate the method by applying it to a known (simple) UPO and find that the period can be reliably extracted even for time windows of length one quarter of the full period. We then turn to a long turbulent trajectory, sliding an observation window through the time series and performing many DMD computations. Our approach yields many more converged periodic orbits (including multiple new solutions) than a standard recurrent flow analysis of the same data. Furthermore, it also yields converged UPOs at points where the recurrent flow analysis flagged a near recurrence but the Newton solver did not converge, suggesting that the new approach can be used alongside the old to generate improved initial guesses. Finally, we discuss some heuristics on what constitutes a "good" time window for the DMD to identify a UPO.

description: Macrophages are the first line of defence against invading pathogens. They play a crucial role in immunity but also in regeneration and homeostasis. Their remarkable plasticity in their phenotypes and function provides them with the ability to quickly respond to environmental changes and infection. Recent work shows that macrophages undergo cell cycle transition from a G0/terminally differentiated state to a G1 state. This G0-to-G1 transition presents a window of opportunity for HIV-1 infection. Macrophages are an important target for HIV-1 but express high levels of the deoxynucleotide-triphosphate hydrolase SAMHD1, which restricts viral DNA synthesis by decreasing levels of dNTPs. While the G0 state is non-permissive to HIV-1 infection, a G1 state is very permissive to HIV-1 infection. This is because macrophages in a G1 state switch off the antiviral restriction factor SAMHD1 by phosphorylation, thereby allowing productive HIV-1 infection. Here, we explore the macrophage cell cycle and the interplay between its regulation and permissivity to HIV-1 infection.

description: After 15 years of heavy-ion collision experiments at the AGS and SPS, the recent turn-on of RHIC has initiated a new stage of quark-gluon plasma studies. I review the evidence for deconfined quark-gluon matter at SPS energies and the recent confirmation of some of the key ideas by the new RHIC data. Measurements of the elliptic flow at RHIC provide strong evidence for efficient thermalization during the very early partonic collision stage, resulting in a well-developed quark-gluon plasma with almost ideal fluid-dynamical collective behaviour and a lifetime of several fm/c.

description: A great challenge for agricultural production is to produce more food with less water, which can be possibly achieved by increasing crop water use efficiency (WUE). We systematically reviewed 51 cases from 48 empirical studies with field experimental results on wheat and cotton. We estimated the yield-water use relations under both furrow and micro irrigation systems, compared crop water use to achieve maximum WUE and maximum yield, and evaluated the effects of many influential factors using meta-regression analysis. Our results showed significant effects of micro irrigation adoption, farm management practices focusing on crop, soil and water, and some moderator variables related with the empirical studies on crop WUE. Assessments of the publication selection bias and genuine effects illustrated the application of weighted least squares in conducting meta-regression analysis.
Cohomological aspects of gauge theories: superfield formalism

description: Some of the key cohomological features of the two $(1+1)$-dimensional (2D) free Abelian- and self-interacting non-Abelian gauge theories (having no interaction with matter fields) are briefly discussed first in the language of symmetry properties of the Lagrangian densities and the same issues are subsequently addressed in the framework of superfield formulation on the four ($2 + 2)$-dimensional supermanifold. Special emphasis is laid on the on-shell- and off-shell nilpotent (co-)BRST symmetries that emerge after the application of (dual) horizontality conditions on the supermanifold. The (anti-)chiral superfields play a very decisive role in the derivation of the on-shell nilpotent symmetries. The study of the present superfield formulation leads to the derivation of some new symmetries for the Lagrangian density and the symmetric energy-momentum tensor. The topological nature of the above theories is captured in the framework of superfield formulation and the geometrical interpretations are provided for some of the topologically interesting quantities.

description: The real- and imaginary-time-formalisms of thermal field theory and their extension to gauge theories is reviewed. Questions of gauge (in-)dependence are discussed in detail, in particular the possible gauge dependences of the singularities of dressed propagators from which the quasiparticle spectrum is obtained. The existing results on next-to-leading order corrections to non-Abelian screening and dispersion laws of hard-thermal-loop quasiparticles are surveyed. Finally, the role of the asymptotic thermal masses in self-consistent approximations to thermodynamic potentials is described and it is shown how the problem of the apparently poor convergence of thermal perturbation theory might be overcome.

description: Abstract: The ter region of the bacterial chromosome, where replication terminates, is the last to be segregated before cell division in Escherichia coli. Delayed segregation is controlled by the MatP protein, which binds to specific sites (matS) within ter, and interacts with other proteins such as ZapB. Here, we investigate the role of MatP by combining short-time mobility analyses of the ter locus with biochemical approaches. We find that ter mobility is similar to that of a non ter locus, except when sister ter loci are paired after replication. This effect depends on MatP, the persistence of catenanes, and ZapB. We characterise MatP/DNA complexes and conclude that MatP binds DNA as a tetramer, but bridging matS sites in a DNA-rich environment remains infrequent. We propose that tetramerisation of MatP links matS sites with ZapB and/or with non-specific DNA to promote optimal pairing of sister ter regions until cell division.

description: The Fermi liquid paradigm for metals has contributed enormously to our understanding of condensed matter systems. However a growing number of quantum critical systems have been shown to exhibit non Fermi liquid behavior. A full understanding of such systems is still lacking and in particular analytical results away from equilibrium are rare. In this work, we provide a distinct example of such kind in a two channel Kondo Luttinger model where a Kondo impurity couples to two voltage biased interacting electron leads, experimentally realizable in a dissipative quantum dot. An exotic quantum phase transition has been known to exist for two decades from the one channel to two channel Kondo ground states by enhancing electron interactions in the leads, but a controlled theoretical approach to this quantum critical point has not yet been established. We present a controlled method to this problem and obtain an analytical form for the universal nonequilibrium differential conductance near the transition. The relevance of our results for recent experiments is discussed.

Modifying operator product expansions by non-perturbative non-locality

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Local quark-hadron duality violations in conventional applications of the operator product expansion are proposed to have their origin in the fact that the QCD vacuum or a hadronic state is not only characterized by nonvanishing expectation values of local, gauge invariant operators but also by finite correlation lengths of the corresponding gauge invariant $n$-point functions. Utilizing high-resolution lattice information on these correlators a non-perturbative component of OPE coarse graining is proposed which, in principle, allows for a determination of the critical dimension where the break-down of the expansion sets in.

description: Abstract: Our current understanding of how the visual brain develops is based largely on the study of luminance-defined information processing. This approach, however, is somewhat limiting, since everyday scenes are composed of complex images, consisting of information characterized by physical attributes relating to both luminance and texture. Few studies have explored how contrast sensitivity to texture-defined information develops, particularly throughout the school-aged years. The current study investigated how contrast sensitivity to luminance- (luminance-modulated noise) and texture-defined (contrast-modulated noise) static gratings develops in school-aged children. Contrast sensitivity functions identified distinct profiles for luminance- and texture-defined gratings across spatial frequencies (SFs) and age. Sensitivity to luminance-defined gratings reached maturity in childhood by the ages of 9–10 years for all SFs (0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 cycles/degree or cpd). Sensitivity to texture-defined gratings reached maturity at 5–6 years for low SFs and 7–8 years for high SFs (i.e., 4 cpd). These results establish that the processing of luminance- and texture-defined information develop differently as a function of SF and age.

Notch signalling
Nutrition restriction

description: Abstract: Background: Drosophila neuroblasts (NBs) are neural stem cells whose maintenance relies on Notch activity. NBs proliferate throughout larval stages to generate a large number of adult neurons. Their proliferation is protected under conditions of nutrition restriction but the mechanisms responsible are not fully understood. As amino acid transporters (Solute Carrier transporters, SLCs), such as SLC36, have important roles in coupling nutrition inputs to growth pathways, they may have a role in this process. For example, an SLC36 family transporter Pathetic (Path) that supports body size and neural dendrite growth in Drosophila, was identified as a putative Notch target in genome-wide studies. However, its role in sustaining stem cell proliferation and maintenance has not been investigated. This study aimed to investigate the function of Path in the larval NBs and to determine whether it is involved in protecting them from nutrient deprivation. Methods: The expression and regulation of Path in the Drosophila larval brain was analysed using a GFP knock-in allele and reporter genes containing putative Notch regulated enhancers. Path function in NB proliferation and overall brain growth was investigated under different nutrition conditions by depleting it from specific cell types in the CNS, using mitotic recombination to generate mutant clones or by directed RNA-interference. Results: Path is expressed in both NBs and glial cells in the Drosophila CNS. In NBs, path is directly targeted by Notch signalling via Su(H) binding at an intronic enhancer, PathNRE. This enhancer is responsive to Notch regulation both in cell lines and in vivo. Loss of path in neural stem cells delayed proliferation, consistent with it having a role in NB maintenance. Expression from pathNRE was compromised in conditions of amino acid deprivation although other Notch regulated enhancers are unaffected. However, NB-expressed Path was not required for brain sparing under amino acid deprivation. Instead, it appears that Path is important in glial cells to help protect brain growth under conditions of nutrient restriction. Conclusions: We identify a novel Notch target gene path that is required in NBs for neural stem cell proliferation, while in glia it protects brain growth under nutrition restriction.

Mental health treatment
Unmet need

description: Abstract: Background: Unmet need for mental health services remains high in the United States and is disproportionately concentrated in some groups. The scale and nature of these disparities have not been fully elucidated and bear further scrutiny. As such, in this study, we examine the demographic, socioeconomic, and health correlates of unmet need for mental health treatment as well as the reasons for unmet need. Methods: We draw upon the National Survey for Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) from 2002 to 16 for adults aged 18 and over in the United States (n = 579,017). Using multivariable logistic regression, we simultaneously model the demographic, socioeconomic, and health correlates of unmet need for mental health treatment from 2002 to 16. We also analyse the reasons for unmet need expressed by these populations, reasons which include cost, perceived stigma, minimisation of symptoms, low perceived effectiveness of treatment, and structural barriers. Results: Major characteristics associated with increased odds of unmet need include past year substance abuse or dependence (other than hallucinogens and sedatives), fair, poor, or very poor health, being female, and an educational attainment of college or higher. With respect to reasons for unmet need, cost was most often cited, followed by perceived stigma, structural barriers, and minimisation. Characteristics associated with increased odds of indicating cost as a reason for unmet need include: being uninsured or aged 26–35. Minimisation and low perceived effectiveness are mentioned by high-income persons as reasons for unmet need. College-educated persons and women had higher odds of citing structural barriers as a reason for unmet need. Conclusions: The correlates and causes of unmet need highlight the intersectionality of individual health needs with implications on addressing inequities in mental health policy and practice.

description: The paper offers a critical discussion of resource use in a national park, Baluran, in Indonesia. In general, an increasing accept of the need for livelihood security, also for people living in or near natural conservation areas, are challenging traditional systems of national park governance. Finding ways to balance the needs of local populations against the necessity to secure biodiversity and environmental sustainability becomes important, and the main question in our research is how to accommodate an existing society in Baluran without a further negative impact on endangered mammals. Based on common pool resource management and co-management theories and thorough empirical investigations among the population living in Baluran, we conclude that alternative solutions exist for combining the interests of livelihood and conservation, but that resolute restrictions must be set by central government authorities, and that local institutions and livelihood practices must be developed based on experiences gained in the region through the last decades. Our findings may have relevance for solving similar problems of coexistence in other conservation areas

description: The study is aimed to estimate the heritability for growth traits at weaning and yearling age, and to determine the breeding values for body weight in Madura cattle, reared in Pamekasan Regency. One hundred and four (194) calves were collected for body weight (BW), chest circumference (CC), body length (BL), withers height (WH) at weaning and yearling age. Paternal half-sib correlation method was used for heritability estimates. As a result, the estimates of heritability for growth traits in both weaning and yearling age were categorized in medium to high. The heritability estimates for BW, CC, BL, and WH in weaning age were 0.33±0.30, 0.35±0.31, 0.66±0.37 and 0.53±0.34, respectively. In yearling age, heritability estimates for BW, CC, BL, and WH were obtained to be 0.66±0.43, 0.71±0.67, 0.38±0.58, and 0.36±0.57, respectively. The top 10 sires based on estimated breeding value for body weight were also obtained, with a range value from 80.70 to 88.35 in weaning age, and from 101.86 to 118.55 in yearling age. It was found that the analyzed growth traits may be taken into consideration as selection criteria in Madura cattle.

description: Despite the many potential benefits of legume cultivation, there is scarce empirical evidence on the effects of improved legume technologies on household food security and nutrition. This paper begins to fill that knowledge gap by empirically estimating the effects of adoption of cereal-legume intercropping and cereal-legume rotation on indicators of food security and nutrition for smallholder farm households in Zambia. The results indicate that cereal-legume rotation is positively and statistically significantly associated with household dietary diversity, months of adequate household food provisioning, and calorie and protein production, but is significantly negatively correlated with net crop income. In contrast, we find little evidence of statistically significant cereal-legume intercropping effects on the food security and nutrition status of Zambian smallholder farm households.

description: Microalgae is an attractive feedstock for sustainable biodiesel production. The harvesting step of microalgae needs technology, which saves energy and time. One of the low cost strategies for addressing this problem is the use of flocculation-sedimentation process as an initial step. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the flocculation-sedimentation of selected microalgae species grown in monoculture (Nannochloropsis sp.) and mixed cultures (South Coast of Yogyakarta) using modified chitosan. The effect of flocculant dosage and sedimentation time that might affect the percentage of microalgae cell removal was investigated. Chitosan has proved to be highly effective for dewatering of the microalgae, Nannochloropsis sp. and Yogyakarta mixed cultures, with the optimum flocculation efficiency reaching over 72.09 % (25 ppm of chitosan dosage; 10 min of sedimentation time) and 87.25 % (25 ppm of chitosan dosage; 30 min of sedimentation time) of biomass removal. The characteristics of chitosan in term of high positive charge density and long chains allow the microalgae to aggregate to form flocs and settle to the bottom due to gravitational effect.

description: This paper uses an advanced computable general equilibrium model coupled with biophysical data on land and water resources by Agro-ecological zone at a river basin level to examine: 1) the economy-wide consequences of improvement in water use efficiency (WUE) in irrigation in South Asia; 2) the extent to which enhanced WUE can increase food production and improve food security in South Asia; and 3) how WUE in irrigation alters demand for water and affects land use across South Asia. Given that the extent to which the economies of South Asia can actually improve water use efficiency in irrigation is uncertain, it tests four different levels of efficiency gains in irrigation: 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. It examines improvement in WUE under two alternative cost assumptions: 1) improvement in WUE is costless and 2) improvement in WUE needs additional investment. With a 10 percent improvement in WUE, the overall respective increases in food production during the time period 2008-2030 in India, Bangladesh and the rest of South Asia would be about $50.5 billion, $3.5 billion and $29.6 billion at 2007 constant prices. Improvement in WUE in irrigation reduces the rain-fed harvested areas and increases irrigated areas. A 10 percent improvement in WUE increases the areas of irrigated cropland by 6.1 million hectares, 296,000 hectares and 1.9 million hectares in India, Bangladesh and the rest of South Asia. When improvement in WUE is costless, the net present values of gains due to a 10 percent improvement in WUE (with a 3 percent social discount rate) are about $45.6 billion for India, $3.6 billion for Bangladesh, and $21.8 billion for rest of South Asia at 2007 constant prices for the time period of 2007-2030. Gains grow as the level of improvement in WUE increases. When improvement in WUE needs additional investments, welfare gains drop but gains in food production remain high.

description: Farmers in India are faced with a myriad of issues from access to agricultural inputs, scientific agriculture practices, and market intelligence over climate and weather calamities which often make farming an unprofitable business. A combined approach of group farming and effective farm management with the help of efficient data collection, processing and analysis is a widely accepted solution to these issues. Progressive Rural Integrated Digital Enterprise (PRIDE™) is an innovative business model which enables rural India to tackle these challenges and prosper collectively. The technology enables efficient collection of data from farmers’ fields, agricultural universities, and other private and public stakeholders which is processed and disseminated to farmers on their mobile phones.

divide and conquer

description: In recent years, cloud service providers have sold computation in increasingly granular units. Most recently, “serverless” executors run a single executable with restricted network access and for a limited time. The benefit of these restrictions is scale: thousand-way parallelism can be allocated in seconds, and CPU time is billed with sub-second granularity. To exploit these executors, we introduce gg-SAT: an implementation of divide-and-conquer SAT solving. Infrastructurally, gg-SAT departs substantially from previous implementations: rather than handling process or server management itself, gg-SAT builds on the gg framework, allowing computations to be executed on a configurable backend, including serverless offerings such as AWS Lambda. Our experiments suggest that when run on the same hardware, gg-SAT performs competitively with other D&C solvers, and that the 1000-way parallelism it offers (through AWS Lambda) is useful for some challenging SAT instances.
Study of Substituent Effect on Properties of Platinum(II) Porphyrin Semiconductor Using Density Functional Theory

description: Study of substituent effect on properties of platinum(II) porphyrin had been performed using the DFT method. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of a substituent group on the electronic and optical properties of the platinum(II) porphyrin. Geometry optimization was conducted using DFT/B3LYP/LANL2DZ to obtain the molecular structure, electronic structure and energy profile. Band gap energy (Eg), the density of states (DOS), and UV-visible spectra are the semiconductor parameters to study. Computational results show that platinum(II) porphyrin and substituted platinum(II) porphyrin have properties of semiconductor based on Eg value, DOS, and UV-visible spectra. The results show that Mulliken partial charges of electron withdrawing substituents are higher than the electron donating substituents (CH3, OH, and NH2). Eg values of the complexes with respect to the substituents follow this order: NH2 < OH < NO2 < COOH < I < CH3 < Br < F < H, for DOSHOMO values, the order is CH3 < NO2 < I < OH < F < NH2 < COOH < Br < H and the maximum wavelength (λmax) for UV-visible adsorption spectra follows this order: NH2 > OH > COOH > NO2 > I > Br > CH3 > F > H. Molecules with smaller Eg and DOSHOMO values and higher λmax are considered as the most appropriate semiconductor materials. Our results show that Pt(II)P-NH2 has the smallest Eg and the highest λmax among other substituted platinum(II) porphyrin molecules. Therefore, Pt(II)P-NH2 are the most suitable semiconductor material based on the aforementioned criteria.

Extremal graphs with local covering conditions

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We systematically study a natural problem in extremal graph theory, to minimize the number of edges in a graph with a fixed number of vertices, subject to a certain local condition: each vertex must be in a copy of a fixed graph $H$. We completely solve this problem when $H$ is a clique, as well as more generally when $H$ is any regular graph with degree at least about half its number of vertices. We also characterize the extremal graphs when $H$ is an Erdős-Rényi random graph. The extremal structures turn out to have the similar form as the conjectured extremal structures for a well-studied but elusive problem of similar flavor with local constraints: to maximize the number of copies of a fixed clique in graphs in which all degrees have a fixed upper bound.

Towards OPE based local quark-hadron duality: Light-quark channels
Creators: name: Hofmann, Ralf
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Various light-quark channel current-current correlators are subjected to the concept of a non-perturbative component of coarse graining in operator product expansions introduced in a parallel work. This procedure allows for low-energy structure of the OPE-derived spectral function. With naive vacuum saturation for 4 quark operators and using lattice data for the gauge invariant scalar quark correlator the results are far off the experimentally measured behavior. However, using the correlation length of the gauge invariant vector quark correlator, which is about 10 times smaller than the scalar one, the qualitative results are rather realistic. Namely, the input of information on the mass of the lowest resonance in one channel yields the corresponding masses within acceptable errors in other channels. Still, the shapes of the calculated spectral functions are considerably deformed as compared to experiment. This may be a consequence of vacuum saturation and the truncation at a mass dimension which is below the critical dimension from which on the asymptotic expansion does not approximate anymore. To improve on this high-resolution lattice information on gauge invariant $n>2$ point correlators would be needed. Motivated by the small effective correlation length in the 4 quark contributions the relevance of the approach for heavy quark physics, in particular in the calculation of nonleptonic, inclusive $ΔΓ$, is discussed.

description: As the market environment for farming has become more complicated, the need for farmer engagement in financial management has increased. However, financial management decisions need to consider individual farm environmental conditions. This paper discusses the design of a new big-data based analytical solution for low farmer engagement in financial management—a Farm Financial Information System (FARMFIS). Using a pastoral based livestock system as the case study, the methodology required to develop this predictive Information System is described. Building upon real-time weather, satellite grass growth and soil information, a local setting and a bio-physical model of weather and market changes on farm level economic outcomes are utilized. The aim is to use the back-end framework described here to develop decision support tools for farmers to provide benchmark information in relation to the financial and technical attributes to a similar top, middle or bottom one-third performing farm. This information can help farmers engage more meaningfully in their own management decisions, technologies, and practices.

description: Big data is emerging as an important information technology to guide decisions within agri-food supply chains. Big data can be used potentially to differentiate and identify final products based on underlying farm production attributes demanded by consumers in the supply chain. This paper considers the challenges faced by the supply chain in responding to consumer demands and adoption of big data technologies in agricultural production through closer evaluation of two examples—one of which considers the use of a sustainability metric and the other considers the potential to increase food safety. We conclude with some comments about likely future issues and implications of the potential widespread adoption of big data.
