description: To evaluate factors associated with mental health quality of life (QOL), such as depressed mood, anxiety, poor memory and sleep, among midlife women according to the menopausal status. Participants were 500 women aged 40–65 years. Data were collected using socio-demographic questionnaire, Women’s Health Questionnaire (domains of depressed mood-DEP, anxiety-ANX, memory-MEM and sleep-SLE) and Short Form-36 (Mental Composite Score) for assessment of health-related QOL. Factors associated with poorer DEP, ANX, MEM and SLE were examined using adjusted linear regression models. In premenopausal women, lower household monthly income (p = .046) was associated with higher level of DEP; higher body mass index (p = .045) was associated with higher ANX; having gynecological illnesses (p = .017) and menopause-related symptoms (p = .039) were associated with poorer MEM; being married (p = .036), drinking alcohol (p = .036) and having more physical activity (p = .041) was associated with better SLE. In postmenopausal women, worse DEP was more likely among women residing in city outskirts (p = .009), who are not married (p = .038) and with sedentary occupations (p = .049); lower education level (p = .030) was associated with more ANX; lower education level (p = .045) and having menopause-related symptoms (p = .044) were associated with poorer MEM; not engaging in regular recreation (p = .031) was associated with better SLE. To improve QOL, pre- and postmenopausal women should not only be supported in the management of menopause-specific symptoms. Women should also receive recommendations as to the behavioral and personal changes when approaching the midlife period.

description: The formation of a superlattice in graphene can serve as a way to modify its electronic bandstructure and thus to engineer its electronic transport properties. Recent experiments have discovered a Kekulé bond ordering in graphene deposited on top of a Copper substrate, leading to the breaking of the valley degeneracy while preserving the highly desirable feature of linearity and gapless character of its band dispersion. In this paper we study the effects of a Kekulé distortion in zigzag graphene nanoribbons in both, the subband spectrum and on its electronic transport properties. We extend our study to investigate also the electronic conductance in graphene nanoribbons composed of sequentially ordered Kek-Y superlattice. We find interesting resonances in the conductance response emerging in the otherwise energy gap regions, which scales with the number of Kek-Y interfaces minus one. Such features resembles the physics of resonant tunneling behavior observed in semiconductors heterostructures. Our findings provide a possible way to measure the strenght of Kekulé parameter in graphene nanoribbons.

description: Abstract

Global food instability, driven by increasing population and climate change, poses significant challenges to food production and distribution. A field trial was conducted at the Agronomic Research Farm, University of Agriculture Faisalabad in 2023, using the CERES-Rice Model to evaluate the performance of rice hybrids under different sowing methods. The study aimed to assess the feasibility of direct-seeded rice (DSR) as an alternative to conventional transplanted rice (TPR) in terms of water conservation, labor reduction, greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, and climate adaptation. The experiment was designed in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with split plots and three replications, involving two rice hybrids (Basmati-515 Fine and FMC-1) and two sowing methods (DSR and TPR). Growth and yield data, including total dry matter, crop growth rate, leaf area index, leaf area duration, and net assimilation rate, were recorded and analyzed using ANOVA and LSD test at a 5% significance level. Results showed that sowing method significantly influenced the number of tillers (m-2), biological yield, panicle length, and grain yield. FMC-1 hybrid produced the highest kernel yield (5615.47 kg ha-1) under the transplanted method, attributed to favorable nutrient availability and higher productive tillers and kernel weight. The study concludes that FMC-1 hybrid rice under transplanting provides the highest yield in the agro-ecological conditions of Faisalabad, with implications for optimizing rice cultivation practices.

description: Visual odometry is a widely used technique in the field of robotics and automation to keep a track on the location of a robot using visual cues alone. In this paper, we propose a joint forward backward visual odometry framework by combining both, the forward motion and backward motion estimated from stereo cameras. The basic framework of LIBVIOS2 is used here for pose estimation as it can run in real-time on standard CPUs. The complementary nature of errors in the forward and backward mode of visual odometry helps in providing a refined motion estimation upon combining these individual estimates. In addition, two reliability measures, that is, forward-backward relative pose error and forward-backward absolute pose error have been proposed for evaluating visual odometry frameworks on its own without the requirement of any ground truth data. The proposed scheme is evaluated on the KITTI visual odometry dataset. The experimental results demonstrate improved accuracy of the proposed scheme over the traditional odometry pipeline without much increase in the system overload.

description: This paper presents a further modification of linear programming technique which, provides the basis for the calculation of average cost curves. The procedure followed is similar to variable resource programming. Returns are maximized with respect to the output of a particular product as output is varied over the desired range. This provides information on variable costs which when combined with fixed-cost data permits the plotting of average cost curves. The author is indebted to Walter R. Butcher and Earl 0. Heady for their constructive criticism.

description: This study’s purpose is to present facilitators and barriers for wakeful prone positioning or “tummy time” during infancy by exploring the personal perspectives of infant caregivers attempting to provide daily tummy time. The study was qualitative in design, using thematic analysis to identify major and minor themes from semi-structured interviews. The Capability, Opportunity, Motivation – Behavior Model provided a conceptual framework for the interview guide and categorization of major themes. Within capability, opportunity, and motivation, the major themes of self-efficacy, scheduling, variations, siblings, committed adult help, social responses of acquaintances, and caregiver enjoyment could be barriers or facilitators, depending on the context. Optimized physical circumstances, caregiver interest, perceived benefits to the infant, pride and accomplishment, and obligation were identified as facilitators only. Barriers included negative infant affect. These results offer preliminary guidance in a knowledge gap: tummy time support that addresses the self-identified concerns of infant caregivers.

description: What makes consumers buy, or what causes them not to buy, has long been the subject of research, and today it is a well worn topic of conversation. Agricultural economists are professionally concerned with consumers' demand for food and the motivation of their choices. Through the years, fashions in this area of research have changed, as have the phrases used to describe it. Twenty years ago the key phrase was "food habits," later abandoned for "consumer preferences." More recently, it has become "motivation research." No matter what the name, agriculture has a stake in the results. The editors offered Miss Burk the opportunity to review some of the recent contributions to the subject, and what began as a review of several books developed into the discussion that follows.

description: Small quantum fluctuations in solitons described by the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (CQNLSE) are studied with the linear approximation. The cases of both self-defocusing and self-focusing quintic term are considered (in the latter case, solitons may be effectively stable, despite the possibility of collapse). The numerically implemented back-propagation method is used to calculate the optimal squeezing ratio for the quantum fluctuations vs. the propagation distance. In the case of the self-defocusing quintic nonlinearity, opposite signs in front of the cubic and quintic terms make the fluctuations around bistable pairs of solitons (which have different energies for the same width) totally different. The fluctuations around nonstationary Gaussian pulses in the CQNLSE model are studied too.

description: We examine the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy for signatures of early quintessence dark energy -- a non-negligible quintessence energy density during the recombination and structure formation eras. Only very recently does the quintessence overtake the dark matter and push the expansion into overdrive. Because the presence of early quintessence exerts an influence on the clustering of dark matter and the baryon-photon fluid, we may expect to find trace signals in the CMB and the mass fluctuation power spectrum. In detail, we demonstrate that suppressed clustering power on small length-scales, as suggested by the combined Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) / CMB / large scale structure data set, is characteristic of early quintessence. We identify a set of concordant models, and map out directions for further investigation of early quintessence.

description: The mean ($κ$) and Gaussian ($\barκ$) bending rigidities of liquid-liquid interfaces, of importance for shape fluctuations and topology of interfaces, respectively, are not yet established: even their signs are debated. Using the Scheutjens Fleer variant of the self-consistent field theory, we implemented a model for a symmetric L/L interface and obtained high precision (mean field) results in the grand canonical $(μ, V, T)$-ensemble. We report positive values for both moduli when the system is close to critical where the rigidities show the same scaling behavior as the interfacial tension $γ$. At strong segregation, when the interfacial width becomes of the order of the segment size, $\barκ$ turns negative. The length scale $λ\equiv \sqrt{κ/γ}$ is of order the segment size for all strengths of interaction; yet the $1/\sqrt{N}$ chain length correction reduces $λ$ significantly when the chain length $N$ is small.

Farm Capital Gains—A Supplement to Farm Income?

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1960
Subjects: Consumer/Household Economics

Production Economics

description: Net farm income has shown a generally downward trend since the postwar highs of 1947 and 1948. Even with allowance for nonfarm sources of income and for declining numbers of farms, average farm family income has lagged behind the steadily rising levels of nonfarm family incomes. But the farmer has had an additional return of sorts in the increased capital value of his assets—farm land and buildings and, to a lesser extent, working capital. Such increments in capital value are not included in regular estimates of gross and net farm income because the latter are designed specifically to measure returns from farming operations only. Capital gains and losses are purposely omitted from the estimates of income from farming. Capital gains and losses are referred to here in their general economic sense of changes in capital values associated with price changes, not in any specific tax sense. There is a difference of opinion among economists as to the desirability of lumping capital gains and losses with ordinary income. But some agricultural economists would argue that farm capital gains have been a clearly recognizable supplement to farm incomes in recent years, and most would probably concede that capital gains or losses have some bearing on the economic welfare of farm operators and their families, especially owner operators. Reasonably satisfactory information is available for an assessment of the approximate magnitude and general significance of farm capital gains and losses. Without necessary commitment to either side of the argument, therefore, it is the purpose of this study: First, to raise the basic question concerning farm capital gains and losses; second, to discuss some of its implications in terms of various possible answers; and third, to develop estimates of the average amounts involved annually in the last 20 years.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: Much has been written concerning the importance of risk and uncertainty on decision making. However, research results employing static theory are seldom modified by risk and uncertainty considerations to provide more realistic recommendations to farmers and others making decisions under imperfect knowledge. Too often, for example, farm plans derived by budgeting or linear programming are unqualifiedly recommended as "optimum" because they provide maximum profits under average or "normal" prices and yields. To make such results more meaningful, the farmer also needs some estimate of the risk or uncertainty associated with the plans. Ordinarily, the farmer's view of this uncertainty is highly subjective since his past experiences are often limited (that is, in the case of new farmers) or based on a "biased" sample of years. Thus, farmers need a more objective measurement of the uncertainty or variability associated with various enterprises and combinations of enterprises. Our contribution concerning this problem is published in the Giannini Foundation Paper series. The authors offer acknowledgment to C. O. McCorkle, Jr., G. M. Kuznets, and G. Tintner for helpful suggestions in various phases of the study and preparation of the manuscript.

In this mode each scalar top quark decays into a tau lepton and a b quark. We search for events with two tau's, one decaying leptonically (e or mu) and one decaying hadronically, and two jets. No candidate events pass our final selection criteria. We set a 95% confidence level lower limit on the scalar top quark mass at 122 GeV/c2 for Br (stop-> tau + b) = 1.

description: We describe in this talk three methods of constructing different links with the same Jones type invariant. All three can be thought as generalizations of mutation. The first combines the satellite construction with mutation. The second uses the notion of rotant, taken from the graph theory, the third, invented by Jones, transplants into knot theory the idea of the Yang-Baxter equation with the spectral parameter (idea employed by Baxter in the theory of solvable models in statistical mechanics). We extend the Jones result and relate it to Traczyk's work on rotors of links. We also show further applications of the Jones idea, e.g. to 3-string links in the solid torus. We stress the fact that ideas coming from various areas of mathematics (and theoretical physics) has been fruitfully used in knot theory, and vice versa.

description: Recent advancements in deep neural networks for graph-structured data have led to state-of-the-art performance on recommender system benchmarks. In this work, we present a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) algorithm SWAG (Sample Weight and AGgregate), which combines efficient random walks and graph convolutions on weighted graphs to generate embeddings for nodes (items) that incorporate both graph structure as well as node feature information such as item-descriptions and item-images. The three important SWAG operations that enable us to efficiently generate node embeddings based on graph structures are (a) Sampling of graph to homogeneous structure, (b) Weighting the sampling, walks and convolution operations, and (c) using AGgregation functions for generating convolutions. The work is an adaptation of graphSAGE over weighted graphs. We deploy SWAG at Target and train it on a graph of more than 500K products sold online with over 50M edges. Offline and online evaluations reveal the benefit of using a graph-based approach and the benefits of weighing to produce high quality embeddings and product recommendations.

description: Children with idiopathic toe walking (ITW) gait are increasingly referred to physical therapists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the Clinical Gait Assessment Scale (CGAS), a newly developed observational rating scale. Four raters evaluated videos of four children. Foot, arm and head/trunk movement was scored as children walked over four surfaces. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), model (3,k) were calculated to determine intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of each dependent variable. The key findings of this study indicate robust intra- and inter-rater reliability, particularly of the foot (Inter-rater reliability, ICC (3,2)=0.9) and head and trunk (Inter-rater reliability, ICC (3,2)=1.0) subsections. Arm movements were more challenging to rate and showed moderate reliability (Inter-rater reliability, ICC (3,2)=0.7). Highest total impairment score; the highest value occurred while walking on the obstacle course (38 ± 29). Overall, the CGAS showed adequate/acceptable reliability across different surfaces (linoleum, textured surface, narrow base, obstacle), however the obstacle surface was most challenging surface to the rater.

description: Cosmologists have long wondered whether the Universe will eventually re-collapse and end with a Big Crunch, or expand forever, becoming increasingly cold and empty. Recent evidence for a flat Universe, possibly with a cosmological constant or some other sort of negative-pressure dark energy, has suggested that our fate is the latter. However, the data may actually be pointing toward an astonishingly different cosmic end game. Here, we explore the consequences that follow if the dark energy is phantom energy, in which the sum of the pressure and energy density is negative. The positive phantom-energy density becomes infinite in finite time, overcoming all other forms of matter, such that the gravitational repulsion rapidly brings our brief epoch of cosmic structure to a close. The phantom energy rips apart the Milky Way, solar system, Earth, and ultimately the molecules, atoms, nuclei, and nucleons of which we are composed, before the death of the Universe in a ``Big Rip''.

description: Antiferromagnets are beneficial for future spintronic applications due to their zero magnetic moment and ultrafast dynamics. But gaining direct access to their antiferromagnetic order and identifying the properties of individual magnetic sublattices, especially in thin films and small-scale devices, remains a formidable challenge. So far, the existing read-out techniques such as anisotropic magnetoresistance, tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance, and spin-Hall magnetoresistance, are even functions of sublattice magnetization and thus allow us to detect different orientations of the Néel order for antiferromagnets with multiple easy axes. In contrast direct electrical detection of oppositely oriented spin states along the same easy axes (e.g., in uniaxial antiferromagnets) requires sensitivity to the direction of individual sublattices and thus is more difficult. In this study, using spin Seebeck effect, we report the electrical detection of the two sublattices in a uniaxial antiferromagnet Cr2O3. We find the rotational symmetry and hysteresis behavior of the spin Seebeck signals measured at the top and bottom surface reflect the dierction of the surface sublattice moments, but not the Néel order or the net moment in the bulk. Our results demonstrate the important role of interface spin sublattices in generating the spin Seebeck voltages, which provide a way to access each sublattice independently, enables us to track the full rotation of the magnetic sublattice, and distinguish different and antiparallel antiferromagnetic states in uniaxial antiferromagnets.

 Cimberis pilosa (LeConte); Kuschel 1989: 139.
 Description. Length 2.0– 3.8mm. Body elongate-oval. Integument reddish-brown to brown, if elytra reddish-brown head, prothorax and sterna often darker; antennae, prerostrum and legs partially to entirely reddish-brown. Vestiture consisting of recumbent to semierect, recurved, greyish or reddish setae. Frons 1.37–1.57X dorsal tip of rostrum, usually densely punctate. Rostrum strongly saddled basally, slender, 0.98–1.33X pronotal length, abruptly widened basally towards eyes. Labrum trapezoidal, sides converging from the base, apical margin rounded or subtruncate. Antennae reaching eyes at segment four or five. Eyes small, more or less circular in outline, strongly convex, with long interfacettal setae. Pronotum width 1.04–1.28X length, strongly rounded laterally, truncate or emarginate apically. Elytra elongate, length 1.76–1.94X width. Femora moderately to strongly swollen. Sexual dimorphism present: abdominal sternites 3–4 of female each with one setiferous pit of variable size.
 Diagnosis. Cimberis pilosa can be distinguished by the trapezoidal labrum with sides converging from the base and rounded to subtruncate apical margin, small, convex eyes, yellow or rust-brown elytra with white setae, and by the smaller size.
 Natural history. Adults are associated with male pollen-bearing flowers of pine (Pinus spp.), including Jack pine (P. banksiana), longleaf pine (P. palustris), Virginia pine (P. virginiana), and Scots pine (P. silvestris).
 Phenology. In Wisconsin, adults were collected from April – June.
 Collecting methods. The 19 specimens examined during the study came from eight counties and represent a NEW STATE RECORD. This species can be found in most habitats with pines, especially pine barrens; most specimens examined were collected from Jack pine. Adults can be collected most readily by beating branches of male pine trees between late April and early May, especially those of Jack pine. One specimen was collected from a Lindgren funnel trap suspended on Jack pine.

description: We present a probabilistic scheme for generating and purifying maximally-entangled states of two atoms inside an optical cavity via no-photon detection in the output cavity mode, where ideal detectors may not be required. The intermediate mixed states can be continuously "filtered" so as to violate Bell inequalities in a parametrized manner. The scheme relies on an additional strong-driving field that yields unusual dynamics in cavity QED experiments, simultaneously realizing Jaynes-Cummings and anti-Jaynes-Cummings interactions.

description: We present two-dimensional multi-fluid numerical modelling of the upper atmosphere of the hot Jupiter WASP-12b. The model includes hydrogen chemistry, and self-consistently describes the expansion of the planetary upper atmosphere and mass loss due to intensive stellar irradiation, assuming a weakly magnetized planet. We simulate the planetary upper atmosphere and its interaction with the stellar wind (SW) with and without the inclusion of tidal force and consider different XUV irradiation conditions and SW parameters. With the inclusion of tidal force, even for a fast SW, the escaping planetary material forms two streams, propagating towards and away from the star. The atmospheric escape and related mass loss rate reaching the value of 10^12 gs^-1 appear to be mostly controlled by the stellar gravitational pull. We computed the column density and dynamics of MgII ions considering three different sets of SW parameters and XUV fluxes. The simulations enable to compute the absorption at the position of the Mg h line and to reproduce the times of ingress and egress. In case of a slow SW and without accounting for tidal force, the high orbital velocity leads to the formation of a shock approximately in the direction of the planetary orbital motion. In this case, mass loss is proportional to the stellar XUV flux. At the same time, ignoring of tidal effects for WASP-12b is a strong simplification, so the scenario with a shock, altogether is an unrealistic one.

description: High quality classroom discussion is important to student development, enhancing abilities to express claims, reason about other students' claims, and retain information for longer periods of time. Previous small-scale studies have shown that one indicator of classroom discussion quality is specificity. In this paper we tackle the problem of predicting specificity for classroom discussions. We propose several methods and feature sets capable of outperforming the state of the art in specificity prediction. Additionally, we provide a set of meaningful, interpretable features that can be used to analyze classroom discussions at a pedagogical level.

description: Este trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar os dados de séries de preços nos mercados de boi gordo nos estados de Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul e Goiás, e desta forma verificar se os mesmos são estacionários ou não estacionários. Para isso, utilizou-se o Teste de Dickey-Fuller Aumentado que tem como objetivo verificar a presença de raiz unitária. Através de análises de séries de preços do período de janeiro de 1994 a dezembro de 2004, verificou-se, que o teste aplicado com equações com tendência, apresenta todas as séries de dados como não estacionárias. O mesmo resultado foi obtido nas equações sem intercepto e sem tendência. Já nas equações com intercepto e com tendência, apenas a série de preços de Mato Grosso do Sul apresentou-se não estacionária. Todas as análises foram feitas a 1% e em nível. Estes resultados são importantes, pois com eles é possível através do Teste de Johansen e Teste de Causalidade de Granger, verificar se existe co-integração entre os mercados estudados, e aferir a transmissão de preços, e assim, podem-se criar mecanismos que ajudem o comprador de commodities agropecuário a analisar o mercado com maior segurança, auxiliando na tomada de decisões.
