description: We set out to develop a strategic assessment for how to enhance the AMS Palate business venture. This necessarily required primary research. Our approach to this research was focused on unpacking exactly what had inhibited the incumbent Palate’s success. Our motivation for approaching initial research this way was to uncover any critical steps we could avoid making moving forward. This was to the aim of not inadvertently duplicating any of Palate’s core weaknesses then consequently its lackluster performance. We endeavored to get to the root of the problem. Our strategy is to build upon the AMS’s value proposition of being for the students, by the students. We contend that our proposal for a new business venture incorporates all aspects of a successful AMS establishment. Specifically, we highlight our emphasis on offering value for money in addition to a fun and interactive guest experience, two items identified as important to students. We hope to address poor traffic through the generation of new branding that will appeal to and attract the student body. To prevent low throughput, we propose a streamlined menu that is reflective of a majority of the student body’s dietary preferences. We believe that by being mindful of the student body through every phase of actualizing this project, we will accomplish launching a successful business, and enhancing the AMS’s overall portfolio.

The results show that the data agrees better with the choice of Gogny-AS effective interaction, resulting in a symmetry energy of $\sim$ 18-20 MeV. The observed value indicate that the fragments are formed at a reduced density of $\sim$ 0.08 fm$^{-3}$.

description: Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities, or entire ecosystems through time. Owing to the inherent difficulty of empirical field studies, ecological state dynamics operating at any level of this hierarchy can often be unobservable or "hidden". Ecologists must therefore often contend with incomplete or indirect observations that are somehow related to these underlying processes. By formally disentangling state and observation processes based on simple yet powerful mathematical properties that can be used to describe many ecological phenomena, hidden Markov models (HMMs) can facilitate inferences about complex system state dynamics that might otherwise be intractable. However, while HMMs are routinely applied in other disciplines, they have only recently begun to gain traction within the broader ecological community. We provide a gentle introduction to HMMs, establish some common terminology, and review the immense scope of HMMs for applied ecological research. We also provide a supplemental tutorial on some of the more technical aspects of HMM implementation and interpretation. By illustrating how practitioners can use a simple conceptual template to customise HMMs for their specific systems of interest, revealing methodological links between existing applications, and highlighting some practical considerations and limitations of these approaches, our goal is to help establish HMMs as a fundamental inferential tool for ecologists.

description: Utilization of multiple trajectories of a dynamical system model provides us with several benefits in approximation of time series. For short term predictions a high accuracy can be achieved via switches to new trajectory at any time. Different long term trends (tendency to different stationary points) of the phase portrait characterize various scenarios of the process realization influenced by externalities. The dynamical system's phase portrait analysis helps to see if the equations properly describe the reality. We also extend the dynamical systems approach (discussed in \cite{R5}) to the dynamical systems with external control. We illustrate these ideas with the help of new examples of the rental properties HOMES.mil platform data. We also compare the qualitative properties of HOMES.mil and Wikipedia.org platforms' phase portraits and the corresponding differences of the two platforms' users. In our last example with COVID-19 data we discuss the high accuracy of the short term prediction of confirmed infection cases, recovery cases and death cases in various countries.

description: The study attempted to analyze impact of broiler raising programs of Bangladesh Krishi Bank and Bangladesh Rural Development Board for poverty alleviation in selected areas of Mymensingh, Dhaka, Gajipur, Munshigonj and Narayangonj districts. For this study 73 participants under broiler raising of BKB and 84 participants of BRDB were selected purposively. The impact was assessed through selected indicators like employment generation, income earning, increasing savings, landholdings, productive assets and nOn-productive assets. Mainly head count ratio, poverty gap and test of mean difference were used to assess the impact over five years. The study revealed that 410 and 268 man days of employment opportunity were created per farm per year under BKB and BRDB. Average anti* income per household under BKB and BRDB increased from Tk.48758 and Tk.288:1,5,-.(1p7%)-:to Tk.140065 and Tk.73437 (155%) respectively over five years. Average amount of savings per household increased from Tk.1280 and Tk.497 (12 times) to Tk.16805 and Tk.8291 (16times). Per household average net gain over landholdings were 6 decimals and 8. decimals for BKB and BRDB participants. Household productive assets increased more than 2 and 3 times and non-productive assets increased by 6 and 4 times for BKB and BRDB participants. About 63% and 83% .of 2t9tal households under BKB and BRDB enabled to overcome the poverty situation raiing:Ttie rest of households have to increase their income by 26% and 8% to overcome the poverty. The broiler farming households with limited institutional facilities developed their economic status towards poverty reduction within a short time. The institutional facilities with enhanced loan ceiling on easy terms and conditions should be ensured for tackling the major problems of unemployment and poverty in rural Bangladesh.

description: We report the final analysis of a search for microlensing events in the direction of the Andromeda galaxy, which aimed to probe the MACHO composition of the M31 halo using data collected during the 1998-99 observational campaign at the MDM observatory. In a previous paper, we discussed the results from a first set of observations. Here, we deal with the complete data set, and we take advantage of some INT observations in the 1999-2000 seasons. This merging of data sets taken by different instruments turns out to be very useful, the study of the longer baseline available allowing us to test the uniqueness characteristic of microlensing events. As a result, all the candidate microlensing events previously reported turn out to be variable stars. We further discuss a selection based on different criteria, aimed at the detection of short--duration events. We find three candidates whose positions are consistent with self--lensing events, although the available data do not allow us to conclude unambiguously that they are due to microlensing.

description: The effect of different catalysts on reactive compatibilization of 50/50 polycarbonate (PC)/polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) blends achieved via transesterification that occurs during compounding in a twin-screw extruder was investigated on a phenomenological (optical and mechanical properties), mesoscopic (phase morphology), and molecular level (PC-graft(g)-PMMA-copolymer formation and polymer molecular weight degradation). Formation of PC-(g)-PMMA-copolymer by transesterification resulting in transparent mono-phase PC/PMMA blends with obviously improved compatibility of the two polymer constituents requires use of a suitable catalyst. As a side-effect, PC-(g)-PMMA-copolymer formation by transesterification is always accompanied by a significant simultaneous decomposition of the molecular weight (Mw) of the PC. For the first time, a colorless, transparent (mono-phase) PC/PMMA 50/50 blend was achieved by a twin-screw extrusion process that can be easily transferred into industrial scale. To achieve this milestone, 0.05 wt% of a weakly acidic phosphonium salt catalyst had to be applied. As a result of the decrease in Mw of the PC, the mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strain at break and impact strength) of the obtained blends were significantly deteriorated rather than improved as targeted by the polymer compatibilization; therefore, the produced transparent PC/PMMA blends are considered not yet technically suitable for any industrial applications. Different manufacturing process strategies that do not inherently result in PC degradation as a side effect of PC-graft(g)-PMMA-copolymer formation have to be developed to potentially achieve transparent PC/PMMA blends with a useful balance of properties. Based on the experimental observations of this study, a new mechanism of the transesterification reaction occurring during reactive compounding of PC and PMMA in the presence of the effective catalysts is proposed.

description: Nondiversified and poor-quality diets are some of the main causes of hidden hunger and associated illnesses. Yet there is limited research on consumer valuation of food quality attributes especially those related to nutritional quality in low-income countries. Consequently, we assess urban consumers preference for food quality attributes of value-added cereal products in Niamey, Niger. We combine qualitative and quantitative methods to assess 205 randomly sampled consumers preferences and the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for food quality attributes. Multinomial logit models are estimated using Maximum Simulated Likelihood and comparing two alterative specifications of consumer preferences. In addition, we account for taste and preference heterogeneity inherent to consumers responses to a change in quality attributes. We find that consumers are highly sensitive to the nutritional quality attribute as measured by the expiration date, the presence of micronutrients, and the product origin. These results suggest a market demand for quality food products beyond traditional cereals but demand is heterogenous and class-dependent. Food processors and policymakers should better communicate quality attributes of products through a sound promotion strategy marked by quality labeling.

The Dark Matter Radial Profile in the Core of the Relaxed Cluster A2589

description: We present an analysis of a Chandra--ACIS observation of the galaxy cluster A2589 to constrain the radial distribution of the total gravitating matter and the dark matter in the core of the cluster. A2589 is especially well-suited for this analysis because the hot gas in its core region (r < ~0.1 Rvir) is undisturbed by interactions with a central radio source. From the largest radius probed (r=0.07 Rvir) down to r ~0.02 Rvir dark matter dominates the gravitating mass. Over this region the radial profiles of the gravitating and dark matter are fitted well by the NFW and Hernquist profiles predicted by CDM. The density profiles are also described well by power laws, rho ~r^{-alpha}, where alpha=1.37 +/- 0.14 for the gravitating matter and alpha=1.35 +/- 0.21 for the dark matter. These values are consistent with profiles of CDM halos but are significantly larger than alpha ~0.5 found in LSB galaxies and expected from self-interacting dark matter models.

description: Motivated by developing a field-theoretic algebraic approach to the universal part of the stress-tensor sector of a scalar four-point function in a class of higher-dimensional CFTs, we construct a mode operator, ${\cal L}_m$, near the lightcone in $d=4$ CFTs and show that it leads to a Virasoro-like commutator, including a regularized central-term. As an example, we describe how to reproduce the $d=4$ single-stress tensor exchange contribution in the lightcone limit by a mode summation. A general-$d$ extension is included. We comment on possible generalizations.

The case of half plane in normal magnetic field has been considered. The transition from classical strong magnetic field to ultraquantum limit has been investigated. We have shown that the edge current density oscillates and decays with distance from the edge. The oscillations have been attributed to the Fermi wavelength of electrons. The additional component of the current smoothly depending on the distance but sensitive to the occupation of Landau levels has been found. The temperature suppression of oscillations has been studied.

description: Marine cage lobster in Vietnam has been known as a high return industry. But in recent years, it has also been facing with negative feedback on productivity due to overuse of nutrient content inputs. Local lobster farmers seemed to internalize this negative feedback by paying more efforts on cleaning cage and more cost on antibiotics and chemical without knowing if it is a positive or negative economic-environmental trade-off. In order to identify the relationship between the cost and environmental efficiency, this paper used Data Envelopment Analysis and Material Balance Principle with a dataset of 353 marine cage lobster farms in Vietnam. The findings show that improvements in efficiency of current input used would result in both lower production costs and better environmental performance. There is a positive trade-off in most lobster farms for being environmentally efficient and cost efficient from the current production. If lobster farms used appropriate input mix given input price information to be more cost efficient, it would benefit to environment. Moreover, producing friendlier with the marine environment also reduce production cost. However, there is a negative trade-off for the movement from being cost efficient to environmentally efficient position for all three groups. Acknowledgement :

description: Detailed knowledge of the hadronic spectrum is still an open question, which has phenomenological consequences on the study of heavy-ion collisions. A previous lattice QCD study concluded that additional strange resonances are missing in the currently tabulated lists provided by the Particle Data Group (PDG). That study identified the list labeled PDG2016+ as the ideal spectrum to be used as an input in thermal-model-based analyses. In this work, we determine the effect of additional resonances on the freeze-out parameters of systems created in heavy-ion collisions. These parameters are obtained from thermal fits of particle yields and net-particle fluctuations. For a complete picture, we compare several hadron lists including both experimentally discovered and theoretically predicted states. We find that the inclusion of additional resonances mildly influences the extracted parameters -- with a general trend of progressively lowering the temperature -- but is not sufficient to close the gap in temperature between light and strange hadrons previously observed in the literature.

description: When subject to a pair-breaking perturbation, the pairing susceptibility of a disordered superconductor exhibits substantial long-ranged mesoscopic fluctuations. Focusing on a thin film subject to a parallel magnetic field, it is proposed that the quantum phase transition to the bulk superconducting condensate may be preempted by the formation of a glass-like phase with multi-fractal correlations of a complex order parameter. Although not universal, we argue that such behavior may be a common feature of quantum critical phenomena in disordered environments.

description: We show that the atmospheric and magnetic height variations are coupled in general MHS equilibria with gravity when isolated thin non-force-free flux tubes are present. In gas-dominated environments, as in stellar photospheres, flux tubes must expand rapidly with height to maintain pressure balance with the cool surroundings. But in magnetically dominated environments, as in stellar coronae, the large-scale background magnetic field determines the average spreading of embedded flux tubes, and rigidly held flux tubes {\it require} a specific surrounding atmosphere with a unique temperature profile for equilibrium. The solar static equilibrium atmosphere exhibits correct transition-region properties and the accepted base coronal temperature for the sun's main magnetic spherical harmonic. Steady flows contribute to the overall pressure, so equilibria with accelerated wind outflows are possible as well. Flux tubes reflect a mathematical degeneracy in the form of non-force-free fields, which leads to coupling in general equilibrium conditions. The equilibrium state characterizes the system average in usual circumstances and dynamics tend to maintain the MHS atmosphere.

description: OBJECTIVE: Clinical informationists provide expert support in the clinical care environment by fostering evidence-based decision making.  In 2015, the Galter Health Sciences Library began a Clinical Informationist Service. The informationists collect data to illustrate the value of the service and highlight connections to patient care. Visualization techniques demonstrate how data is used to analyze and build upon our current service model. METHODS: Evaluation is an important element in implementing a new service. There are three topical areas that are tracked by the Clinical Informationist Service and compiled into a monthly data report. The first area helps us assess our productivity by tracking our interactions on the clinical floors and our work with clinical departments through liaison relationships.  The second area helps us better leverage our resources by tracking the questions asked and the resource used to answer them. The third area focuses on additional work generated as a result of the clinical informationist service and the liaison relationships. RESULTS: From August 2015 through December 2016 the clinical informationists participated in 87 unique patient care rounds. They interacted with attending physicians, medical residents, and medical students. There were 80 unique questions harvested from in-person interactions. The questions were categorized into four areas and each question can fall into more than one category. Information was also collected on the database or resource, and document type used to answer the question. Data from each topical area has been visualized using a variety of tools to better communicate the impact of the service.  CONCLUSION: The clinical informationists provided evidence-based information in the complex patient-care environment by their interaction with more than 180 people over a 16 month period.  Detailed monthly reports to track questions, interactions and effort help demonstrate the value of the service and lay the groundwork for a more formal evaluation in the future.

description: We report here the first systematic study of the supercluster-void network in the LCDM concordance cosmology in which voids and superclusters are treated on an equal footing. Superclusters are defined as individual members of an over-dense excursion set and voids are defined as individual members of a complementary under-dense excursion set at the same density threshold. We determine the geometric, topological and morphological properties of the cosmic web at a large set of density levels by computing Minkowski functionals for every supercluster and void using SURFGEN. The properties of the largest (percolating) supercluster and the complementary void are found to be very different from properties of individual superclusters and voids. Individual superclusters totally occupy no more than about 5% of the total volume and contain no more than 20% of mass if the largest supercluster is excluded. Likewise, individual voids totally occupy no more than 14% of volume and contain no more than 4% of mass if the largest void is excluded. Although superclusters are more massive and voids are more voluminous the difference in maximum volumes is not greater than by an order of magnitude. The genus value of individual superclusters can be 5 while the genus of individual voids can reach 40, implying significant amount of substructure in superclusters and especially in voids. One of our main results is that large voids, as defined through the density field (read dark matter distribution) can be distinctly non-spherical.

description: The rapid growth of fish farming over the past three decades has generated heated debates over the place of aquaculture in rural development. Central to these debates is the question of whether and how aquaculture impacts local incomes and employment, yet little empirical evidence exists on the issue. To address this question, we propose a Local Economy-wide Impact Evaluation (LEWIE) model which nests fish farm models within a general-equilibrium model of their local economy. The model is calibrated using primary data collected from 1102 households in Myanmar s main aquaculture zone, representative of 60% of the country s aquaculture. Using this model, we examine the impact of aquaculture on the incomes and labor market outcomes of fish farming households, but also crop farms and non-farm households in the cluster. Simulating one-acre increases in pond/plot surface we find that: (1) aquaculture generates much higher incomes per-acre than agriculture; (2) aquaculture generates larger income spillovers than agriculture for non-farm households, by way of retail and labor markets; (3) small commercial fish farms generate greater spillovers than large fish farms. These results bolster the notion that fish-farming, notably small-scale commercial aquaculture, may have a significant role to play in rural development and poverty reduction.

description: Background: A ubiquitous challenge in rehabilitation and disability research is rooted in the methods by which experiences are defined. With quantitative measures dominating the gold standards of rehabilitation research, individuals feelings, functions, and experiences are typically outlined in uniform surveys or assessment scales. By default, this means that a personis limited to reporting only within the range of values provided. Purpose: The purpose of this review was to examine narrative research on the lived experiences of individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) in order to determine how the existing body of qualitative research can inform rehabilitation practices for thispopulation. Methods: A qualitative synthesis was performed using modified versions of the methods outlined by Thomas and Harden (2008) and Walsh and Downe (2005). The methods were divided into four stages: (1) framing and initiating the literaturesearch with ongoing appraisal of findings, (2) categorical and thematic analysis of individual studies, (3) translation of themesamong studies, and (4) development of meta themes. Thirty-eight articles with an analysis of narrative data from SCI survivors were reviewed. Results: The synthesis of these publications generated strong evidence for implications of SCIs, which extended beyondtraditional models of rehabilitative care to affect identity and engagement in daily life. Though individual experiences after a SCI vary, this synthesis revealed the potential of a SCI to significantly shift ones position, perspectives, and priorities in life. Conclusion: The collection of narratives and overarching themes illustrate the value of narrative data for research and intervention development for individuals with a SCI.

description: Crackling dynamics is characterized by a release of incoming energy through intermittent avalanches. The shape, i.e. the internal temporal structure of these avalanches, gives insightful information about the physical processes involved. It was experimentally shown recently that progressive damage towards compressive failure of quasi-brittle materials can be mapped onto the universality class of interface depinning when considering scaling relationships between the global characteristics of the microcracking avalanches. Here we show, for three concrete materials and from a detailed analysis of the acoustic emission waveforms generated by microcracking events, that the shape of these damage avalanches is strongly asymmetric, characterized by a very slow decay. This remarkable asymmetry, at odds with mean-field depinning predictions, could be explained, in these quasi-brittle materials, by retardation effects induced by enhanced viscoelastic processes within a fracture process zone generated by the damage avalanche as it progresses. It is associated with clusters of sub-avalanches, or aftershocks, within the main avalanche.
