description: This is largely an attempt to provide probabilists some orientation to an important class of non-linear partial differential equations in applied mathematics, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Particular focus is given to the probabilistic framework introduced by LeJan and Sznitman [Probab. Theory Related Fields 109 (1997) 343-366] and extended by Bhattacharya et al. [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 355 (2003) 5003-5040; IMA Vol. Math. Appl., vol. 140, 2004, in press]. In particular this is an effort to provide some foundational facts about these equations and an overview of some recent results with an indication of some new directions for probabilistic consideration.

U-pb geochronology and lithogeochemistry of the Hope Bay greenstone belt, Slave structural province, Northwest Territories, Canada
Creators: name: Hebel, Manfred U.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Hope Bay greenstone belt (HBGB) is one of several Late Archean greenstone belts recognised within the Slave Structural Province (SSP) in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Unlike most other major greenstone belts in the SSP relatively little is known about the age and evolution of the HBGB. The main goal of this study was to construct a detailed chronostratigraphic and chemostratigraphic framework for the belt that would constrain the temporal and tectonic evolution and thus permit the HBGB to be placed in the regional geological context of the Slave Structural Province. A regional geochronological and lithogeochemical program was carried out in conjunction with geological mapping by BHP Minerals Canada Ltd. personnel. A total of 21 UPb age determinations, 174 major and trace element analyses, and 19 rare earth element analyses resulted from the study. U-Pb geochronology was selected as the critical tool for constraining the stratigraphic and temporal evolution of the belt because of its high blocking temperature and the precise ages that can be obtained using this method. Major, trace, and rare earth element data were employed to characterise the geochemistry of various igneous units and investigate the possible paleotectonic settings in which individual units were generated. The HBGB is characterised by a basal series of mafic dominated tholeiitic volcanic flows (Young Group), overlain by a sequence of calc-alkaline volcanic rocks (Westerberg Group), that are in turn overlain by sedimentary rocks of the Tweedy and Farrar group. These sequences were deposited over a period of at least 116 m.y. from ca. 2716 to ca. 2600 Ma. Chemical compositions of volcanic rocks are typified by low abundance of HFSE and depletions in Nb, Ti, Eu, and P relative to REE. The striking similarity between the overall lithologic assemblage and the geochemical signature of volcanic rocks in the HBGB with modern arc and back-arc systems (e.g. Mariana and Tonga-Kermadec regions) suggest the HBGB evolved in an arc-backarc geodynamic setting.

description: This paper presents the findings of research on emerging global trends in consumer food preferences with credence attributes. Credence qualities cannot be evaluated in normal use. Instead the assessment of their value requires information sought through the search and experience of a product (Darbi & Karni, 1973). Key trends identified were Health and wellness foods, environmentally sustainable and ethical food production. Key drivers for these trends are corporate social responsibility, media, obesity, technology, an aging population and consumers' environmental attitudes. Conditions to operate in this market are traceability, food safety, trust, accreditation, labeling and branding.

description: This paper investigates the relationship between labour migration and agricultural productivity in the Northern Province of Thailand. Drawing on maize production data from a household survey, we estimate a stochastic production function to evaluate the effects of migration, remittances and salient characteristics of migrants on the mean maize output and levels of technical efficiency. Evidence shows that remittances and number of migrant workers facilitate maize production. It was also found that remittances, duration of migration, gender and education of migrants enhance the productive capacity of maize farmers.
Curved Space or Curved Vacuum?

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: While the simple picture of a spatially flat, matter plus cosmological constant universe fits current observation of the accelerated expansion, strong consideration has also been given to models with dynamical vacuum energy. We examine the tradeoff of ``curving'' the vacuum but retaining spatial flatness, vs. curving space but retaining the cosmological constant. These different breakdowns in the simple picture could readily be distinguished by combined high accuracy supernovae and cosmic microwave background distance measurements. If we allow the uneasy situation of both breakdowns, the curvature can still be measured to 1%, but at the price of degrading estimation of the equation of state time variation by 60% or more, unless additional information (such as weak lensing data or a tight matter density prior) is included.

Cette action de science participative implique des plongeurs observateurs volontaires aux connaissances diverses. Elle propose des protocoles simplifiés, validés scientifiquement et étudiés pour être accessibles à un large profil de plongeurs. Du plongeur niveau 1 au moniteur, chacun peut s’impliquer dans POLARIS où plusieurs objectifs d’action sont proposés, selon des thématiques et besoins identifiés. Il s’agit ici de mutualiser les domaines d’expertises de chacun pour mettre en place un programme de territoire au service de l’environnement marin. Au-delà d’une collecte de données, POLARIS se veut être un outil de formation et de sensibilisation à une plongée environnementale pour étudier et comprendre le milieu marin. La bonne santé de ce milieu dépend directement de l’état des écosystèmes, habitats et espèces qui le composent. Les observations doivent prendre en compte les liens et interactions existant entre ces différents éléments. Ainsi, POLARIS propose des protocoles s’intéressant aux espèces mais également aux habitats associés. Ce catalogue rassemble différentes méthodes d’observations (protocoles) rattachées à des programmes de recherche.

description: Streptomyces mobaraensis is a key player for the industrial production of the protein cross‐linking enzyme microbial transglutaminase (MTG). Extra‐cellular activation of MTG by the transglutaminase‐activating metalloprotease (TAMP) is regulated by the TAMP inhibitory protein SSTI that belongs to the large Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor (SSI) family. Despite decades of SSI research, the binding site for metalloproteases such as TAMP remained elusive in most of the SSI proteins. Moreover, SSTI is a MTG substrate, and the preferred glutamine residues for SSTI cross‐linking are not determined. To address both issues, that is, determination of the TAMP and the MTG glutamine binding sites, SSTI was modified by distinct point mutations as well as elongation or truncation of the N‐terminal peptide by six and three residues respectively. Structural integrity of the mutants was verified by the determination of protein melting points and supported by unimpaired subtilisin inhibitory activity. While exchange of single amino acids could not disrupt decisively the SSTI TAMP interaction, the N‐terminally shortened variants clearly indicated the highly conserved Leu40‐Tyr41 as binding motif for TAMP. Moreover, enzymatic biotinylation revealed that an adjacent glutamine pair, upstream from Leu40‐Tyr41 in the SSTI precursor protein, is the preferred binding site of MTG. This extension peptide disturbs the interaction with TAMP. The structure of SSTI was furthermore determined by X‐ray crystallography. While no structural data could be obtained for the N‐terminal peptide due to flexibility, the core structure starting from Tyr41 could be determined and analysed, which superposes well with SSI‐family proteins.

description: The agricultural sector is a central part of the Fiji Islands economy. Policies to alleviate poverty and stimulate economic growth need to be based on a sound understanding of the local agricultural systems involved. This understanding needs to extend to the responsiveness of production to price changes. To date there have been no published quantitative estimates of the responsiveness of agricultural supply in Fiji to output price changes. In this paper we present a set of highly disaggregated supply elasticities covering many of the major food crops produced and consumed in Fiji. These results have been derived from a stated intention survey of rural households. The results appear consistent with the dual nature of Fiji's agricultural sector and show that agricultural supply response in Fiji is own-price elastic for the ten commodities analysed.

description: The observer dependence of the quasi-local energy (QLE) and momentum in the Schwarzschild geometry is illustrated. Using the Brown-York prescription, the QLE for families of non-geodesic and geodesic observers penetrating the event horizon is obtained. An explicit shell-building process is presented and the binding energy is computed in terms of the QLE measured by a static observer field at a radius outside the horizon radius. The QLE for a radially geodesic observer field freely-falling from infinity is shown to vanish. Finally, a simple relation for the dynamics of the quasi-local momentum density for a geodesic observer field is noted.

description: Governments are under increasing pressure to deliver results. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency and relevance of the public service in implementing policies and programmes for social betterment. Without such evaluations, it is difficult to ensure that evidence is integrated into policy and used in practice due to lack of generalizability and learning. This paper focuses on (1) the knowledge that is relevant to understand evaluation influence, (2) the possible conceptual frameworks that enable understanding of the evaluation implementation process, (3) possible models of the process of organizational evaluation, and (4) the main ways of intervening to increase influence. The context for analysis is the South African Department of Agriculture.

description: In this paper, we seek to answer the question "given a rotating core collapse gravitational wave signal, can we determine its nuclear equation of state?". To answer this question, we employ deep convolutional neural networks to learn visual and temporal patterns embedded within rotating core collapse gravitational wave (GW) signals in order to predict the nuclear equation of state (EOS). Using the 1824 rotating core collapse GW simulations by Richers et al. (2017), which has 18 different nuclear EOS, we consider this to be a classic multi-class image classification and sequence classification problem. We attain up to 72\% correct classifications in the test set, and if we consider the "top 5" most probable labels, this increases to up to 97\%, demonstrating that there is a moderate and measurable dependence of the rotating core collapse GW signal on the nuclear EOS.

First, the mass ratio between the lowest pseudoscalar and scalar color-singlets is estimated to be equal to the ratio between the axial anomaly and the scale anomaly at strong coupling, M_- / M_+ ~ C_- / C_+. Second, the ratio between the domain wall tension and the value of the quark condensate is computed.

description: A possible scheme of realizing shell model calculations for heavy nuclei is based on a deformed basis and the projection technique. Here we present a new development for odd-odd nuclei, in which one starts with triaxially-deformed multi-quasi-particle configurations, builds the shell-model space through exact three-dimensional angular-momentum-projection, and diagonalizes a two-body Hamiltonian in this space. The model enables us to study the old problem of signature inversion from a different view. With an excellent reproduction of the experimental data in the mass-130 region, the results tend to interpret the phenomenon as a manifestation of dynamical drift of the rotational axis with presence of axial asymmetry in these nuclei.

description: Face parsing infers a pixel-wise label to each facial component, which has drawn much attention recently. Previous methods have shown their success in face parsing, which however overlook the correlation among facial components. As a matter of fact, the component-wise relationship is a critical clue in discriminating ambiguous pixels in facial area. To address this issue, we propose adaptive graph representation learning and reasoning over facial components, aiming to learn representative vertices that describe each component, exploit the component-wise relationship and thereby produce accurate parsing results against ambiguity. In particular, we devise an adaptive and differentiable graph abstraction method to represent the components on a graph via pixel-to-vertex projection under the initial condition of a predicted parsing map, where pixel features within a certain facial region are aggregated onto a vertex. Further, we explicitly incorporate the image edge as a prior in the model, which helps to discriminate edge and non-edge pixels during the projection, thus leading to refined parsing results along the edges. Then, our model learns and reasons over the relations among components by propagating information across vertices on the graph. Finally, the refined vertex features are projected back to pixel grids for the prediction of the final parsing map. To train our model, we propose a discriminative loss to penalize small distances between vertices in the feature space, which leads to distinct vertices with strong semantics. Experimental results show the superior performance of the proposed model on multiple face parsing datasets, along with the validation on the human parsing task to demonstrate the generalizability of our model.
Study of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway as potential molecular target for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) treatment: pan-inhibition of PI3K catalitic isoforms as better therapeutic approach

description: Class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are heterodimeric lipid kinases consisting of a regulatory subunit and one of four catalytic subunits (p110α, p110β, p110γ or p110δ). p110γ/p110δ PI3Ks are highly enriched in leukocytes. In general, PI3Ks regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell proliferation, survival and metabolism, by generating the second messenger phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3). Their activity is tightly regulated by the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) lipid phosphatase. PI3Ks are widely implicated in human cancers, and in particular are upregulated in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), mainly due to loss of PTEN function. These observations lend compelling weight to the application of PI3K inhibitors in the therapy of T-ALL. At present different compounds which target single or multiple PI3K isoforms have entered clinical trials. In the present research, it has been analyzed the therapeutic potential of the pan-PI3K inhibitor BKM120, an orally bioavailable 2,6-dimorpholino pyrimidine derivative, which has entered clinical trials for solid tumors, on both T-ALL cell lines and patient samples. BKM120 treatment resulted in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, being cytotoxic to a panel of T-ALL cell lines and patient T-lymphoblasts. Remarkably, BKM120 synergized with chemotherapeutic agents currently used for treating T-ALL patients. BKM120 efficacy was confirmed in in vivo studies to a subcutaneous xenotransplant model of human T-ALL. Because it is still unclear which agents among isoform-specific or pan inhibitors can achieve the greater efficacy, further analyses have been conducted to investigate the effects of PI3K inhibition, in order to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the proliferative impairment of T-ALL.
Overall, these results indicated that BKM120 may be an efficient treatment for T-ALLs that have aberrant up-regulation of the PI3K signaling pathway and strongly support clinical application of pan-class I PI3K rather than single-isoform inhibitors in T-ALL treatment.

description: We report the production of quantum degenerate Bose-Bose mixtures of Cs and Yb with both attractive (Cs + $^{174}$Yb) and repulsive (Cs + $^{170}$Yb) interspecies interactions. Dual-species evaporation is performed in a bichromatic optical dipole trap that combines light at 1070 nm and 532 nm to enable control of the relative trap depths for Cs and Yb. Maintaining a trap which is shallower for Yb throughout the evaporation leads to highly efficient sympathetic cooling of Cs for both isotopic combinations at magnetic fields close to the Efimov minimum in the Cs three-body recombination rate at around 22 G. For Cs + $^{174}$Yb, we produce quantum mixtures with typical atom numbers of $N_\mathrm{Yb} \sim 5 \times 10^4$ and $N_\mathrm{Cs} \sim 5 \times 10^3$. We find that the attractive interspecies interaction (characterised by the scattering length $a_\mathrm{CsYb} = -75\,a_0$) is stabilised by the repulsive intraspecies interactions. For Cs + $^{170}$Yb, we produce quantum mixtures with typical atom numbers of $N_\mathrm{Yb} \sim 4 \times 10^4$, and $N_\mathrm{Cs} \sim 1 \times 10^4$. Here, the repulsive interspecies interaction ($a_\mathrm{CsYb} = 96\,a_0$) can overwhelm the intraspecies interactions, such that the mixture sits in a region of partial miscibility.

description: We describe a nuclear spin gyroscope based on an alkali-metal-noble-gas co-magnetometer. An optically pumped alkali-metal vapor is used to polarize the noble gas atoms and detect their gyroscopic precession. Spin precession due to magnetic fields as well as their gradients and transients can be cancelled in this arrangement. The sensitivity is enhanced by using a high-density alkali-metal vapor in a spin-exchange relaxation free (SERF) regime. With a K-3He co-magnetometer we demonstrate rotation sensitivity of 5 10^(-7) rad/sec/Hz^(1/2). The rotation signal can be increased by a factor of 10 using 21Ne due to its smaller magnetic moment and the fundamental rotation sensitivity limit for a 21Ne gyroscope with a 10 cm^3 measurement volume is about 2 10^(-10) rad/sec/Hz^(1/2).

description: High power conversion efficiency (PCE) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) rely on optimal alignment of the energy bands between the perovskite absorber and the adjacent charge extraction layers. However, since most of the materials and devices of high performance are prepared by solution‐based techniques, a deposition of films with thicknesses of a few nanometers and therefore a detailed analysis of surface and interface properties remains difficult. To identify the respective photoactive interfaces, photoelectron spectroscopy measurements are performed on device stacks of methylammonium‐lead‐iodide (MAPI)‐based PSCs in classical and inverted architectures in the dark and under illumination at open‐circuit conditions. The analysis shows that vacuum‐deposited MAPI perovskite absorber layers are n‐type, independent of the architecture and of the charge transport layer that it is deposited on (n‐type SnO₂ or p‐type NiOₓ). It is found that the majority of the photovoltage is formed at the n‐MAPI/p‐HEL (hole extraction layer) junction for both architectures, highlighting the importance of this interface for further improvement of the photovoltage and therefore also the PCE. Finally, an experimentally derived band diagram of the completed devices for the dark and the illuminated case is presented.

The possibility of an electronic phase in a narrow interval above the Néel temperature as a precursor of a magnetic phase is discussed.

description: In January 1979, an in-depth investigation of the unstable bridge-approach embankment, Figure 1, on US 68 over the Licking River in the north central portion of Nicholas County (MP 91-68-B0027) was begun by the Division of Research. This investigation was a continuation of a project initiated by the Division of Materials in 1967. This site is approximately 0.3 miles (0.5 km) north of Stony Creek Road and approximately 7.5 miles (12.0 km) north of Carlisle and 0.8 miles (1.3 km) southwest of Blue Licks Battlefield State Park. The bridge is a three-span, continuous, welded plate girder structure with span lengths of 160, 2004 and 160 feet (48.8, 61.0, and 48.8 m) at a 0 degree skew. The bridge is aligned at north 47 degrees east. The pier foundations are spread footings on rock; the abutments utilize 12 point-bearing (53 steel-type) piles. The roadway emerges from a cut of approximately 20 to 40 feet (6.1 to 12.2 m} near Stations 217 + 50 and 221 + 00 on the right and left, respectively. The nearby bridge approach embankment rests partly on a bench of limestone and partly on an alluvium river bank. Maximum height of the embankment is about 100 feet (30.5 m).

description: To obtain reliable and consistent shear strength results, which are essential in the design of earth structures, from triaxial tests, careful attention, skill, and judgement must be given to testing procedures and equipment make-up. There are many sources of potential errors in the test, especially when pore pressures are monitored. Consequently, a question inevitably arises concerning tbe quality of triaxial test results obtained by different geotechnical laboratories. The intent of this study was to initiate and help establish a triaxial testing forum whereby any geotechnical laboratory engaged in triaxial testing can check the quality of their triaxial results, and therefore, evaluate their testing procedures and equipment make-up agamst the results obtained by other agencies. To initiate the forum, isotropically consolidated, undrained triaxial tests with pore pressure measurements were performed by three agencies -- the Divisions of Research and Materials of the Kentucky Department of Transportation and the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Kentucky -- on remolded, "standardized" kaolinite specimens. The triaxial results reported by each agency and analyses of all data by the Division of Research are reported and shows that the three participating agencies obtained about the same results. The forum will be useful to any governmental agency for accrediting any geotechnical laboratory performing work for that agency.

description: The analysis is based on an integrated climatic, agronomic and economic model of grain production in the midwestern region of the U.S. The model represents a typical farm and the objective is to select an optimum combination of cultivars for four crops (maize, soybean, wheat and sorghum) conditionally on climate, soil characteristics and the prices of the four crops. The first part of the analysis uses a complete two-way factorial design to estimate the effects of five climatic and agronomic variables and the four prices on yields, total production and net return. With this design, variability can be allocated uniquely to individual explanatory variables. As expected, prices have little effect on yields. For total production and net return, temperature and precipitation are the most important variables, but prices and two-way interactions among the variables are also statistically significant. The ranges of values for temperature and precipitation used in the factorial design are extended in the second part of the analysis. Response surfaces for yields, total production and net return are estimated from these new data. The fitted surfaces are used to evaluate the effects of projections of temperature and precipitation, resulting from global warming, on yields, total production and net return. Two of the three projections imply modest increases in yields, total production and net return and one shows slight declines, particularly for the yield of maize. The differences in these results reflect primarily differences in the projected changes in precipitation because the projected increases of temperature are similar in all scenarios. Furthermore, relatively small reductions in precipitation from the projected values have relatively large adverse effects on grain production.

description: Recently the authors discovered that the suppression of the charge density wave (CDW) ground states by high magnetic fields in the organic conductor series Per2M(mnt)2 is followed by additional high field, CDW-like phases. The purpose of this presentation is to review these compounds, to consider the relevant parameters of the materials that describe the manner in which the CDW ground state may undergo new field induced changes above the Pauli limit.

description: The private chain-based Internet of Things (IoT) system ensures the security of cross-organizational data sharing. As a widely used consensus model in private chains, the leader-based state-machine replication (SMR) model meets the performance bottleneck in IoT blockchain applications, where nontransactional sensor data are generated on a scale. We analyzed IoT private chain systems and found that the leader maintains too many connections due to high latency and client request frequency, which results in lower consensus performance and efficiency. To meet this challenge, we propose a novel solution for maintaining low request latency and high transactions per second (TPS): replicate nontransactional data by followers and confirm by the leader to achieve nonconfliction SMR, rather than all by the leader. Our solution, named Leader Confirmation Replication (LCR), uses the newly proposed future log and confirmation signal to achieve nontransactional data replication on the followers, thereby reducing the leader's network traffic and the request latency of transactional data. In addition, the generation replication strategy is designed to ensure the reliability and consistency of LCR when meeting membership changes. We evaluated LCR with various cluster sizes and network latencies. Experimental results show that in ms-network latency (2-30) environments, the TPS of LCR is 1.4X-1.9X higher than Raft, the transactional data response time is reduced by 40%-60%, and the network traffic is reduced by 20%-30% with acceptable network traffic and CPU cost on the followers. In addition, LCR shows high portability and availability since it does not change the number of leaders or the election process.

description: Numerous models of price-demand-supply behavior in agricultural markets have been proposed and estimated. The literature contains valuable contributions, but the cumulative effect is somewhat disappointing. This paper appraises the status of the price analysis literature and makes suggestions for improving the quality of empirical results. Both structural and time-series models are appraised.

description: The KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) is an objective-prism survey designed to detect extragalactic emission-line objects. It combines many of the features of previous slitless spectroscopic surveys with the advantages of modern CCD detectors, and is the first purely digital objective-prism survey for emission-line galaxies (ELGs). Here we present the third list of ELG candidates selected from our red spectral data, which cover the wavelength range 6400 to 7200 A. In most cases, the detected emission line is H-alpha. The current survey list covers the region of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS). This survey covers two fields; the first is 3 x 3 degrees square and located at RA = 14h 30m, DEC = 34.5 deg (B1950), the second is 2.3 x 4.0 degrees and centered at RA = 2h 7.5m, DEC = -4.75 deg. A total area of 19.65 deg^2 is covered by the KISS data. A total of 261 candidate emission-line objects have been selected for inclusion in the survey list (13.3 per deg^2). We tabulate accurate coordinates and photometry for each source, as well as estimates of the redshift, emission-line flux and line equivalent width based on measurements of the digital objective-prism spectra. The properties of the KISS ELGs are examined using the available observational data. When combined with the wealth of multi-wavelength data already available for the NDWFS fields, the current list of KISS ELGs should provide a valuable tool for studying star-formation and nuclear activity in galaxies in the local universe.
