description: After touching on the concerns of natural scientists about biodiversity loss, this article argues that it is a mistake to believe that there are only losses of biodiversity. The process of changes in the stock of biodiversity is more complex. Furthermore, it is pointed out that not all genetic material is an economic asset. Also, it is contended that not all genetic material is natural. Some of the genetic stock is of a heritage type and a portion has recently been developed by human beings. Improved conceptualisation of the stock of biodiversity is needed. Some of the ways are listed in which economics is relevant to issues involving biodiversity conservation. General economic factors, such as market extension and economic growth, which result in loss of genetic diversity among domesticated organisms are outlined. China’s recent experience with biodiversity loss highlights the importance of these factors. Some important reasons why economic factors result in biodiversity loss in the wild are identified and reasons are given why economic systems conserve less biodiversity than is ideal. Before concluding, the subject is discussed of what genetic material and other components of biodiversity should be conserved given economic constraints on what can be conserved.

description: We present a design for a radio-frequency driver that leverages telecom amplifiers to achieve high power output and wide bandwidth. The design consists of two compact printed circuit boards (total area $< 255$ cm), which incorporate power (turn-on) and thermal management to prevent accidental damage to the amplifier circuitry. Our driver provides $>1$ W of output power over a $10$ MHz to $1.1$ GHz frequency range, and $\geq 5$ W from $20$ MHz to $100$ MHz. The driver circuit includes auxiliary components for analog frequency and amplitude modulation ($\approx 70$ kHz bandwidth), as well as digital power switching ($> 30$ dB of extinction within $40$ ns and final extinction $> 90$ dB). The radio-frequency source can also be digitally switched between an external input and an integrated voltage-controlled oscillator. Our design is motivated by the need for flexible, inexpensive drivers of optically active devices, such as acousto-optic and electro-optic modulators.

description: Viability of periodontal ligament fibroblast cells (PDFC) is one of the key factors in determining the success of replantation of avulsed teeth. Extra-oral time and transport media are closely related to the same. The present study aims to evaluate and compare the efficiency of Cornisol, Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) and normal saline in preserving the viability of PDFC. The human PDFC were isolated from primary culture from freshly extracted human premolars. Effect of Cornisol, HBSS and normal saline on viability of isolated PDFC was assessed using standard MTT assay. The cells were exposed to the experimental solutions (Cornisol/HBSS/normal saline) for varying time points (30 min, 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 96 h) and viability was determined by colorimetric MTT method by quantifying the amount of formazan crystal formed (optical density). Experiment was performed in triplicates and the data were subjected to statistical analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal–Wallis ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni’s test with a significance level of p value ≤.05. Cornisol ≥ HBSS > saline. Cornisol can be used as a storage media for avulsed teeth and is significantly more effective than HBSS in maintaining the periodontal ligament cell viability at tested time intervals.

description: Community structures are an important feature of many social, biological and technological networks. Here we study a variation on the method for detecting such communities proposed by Girvan and Newman and based on the idea of using centrality measures to define the community boundaries (M. Girvan and M. E. J. Newman, Community structure in social and biological networks Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 99, 7821-7826 (2002)). We develop an algorithm of hierarchical clustering that consists in finding and removing iteratively the edge with the highest information centrality. We test the algorithm on computer generated and real-world networks whose community structure is already known or has been studied by means of other methods. We show that our algorithm, although it runs to completion in a time O(n^4), is very effective especially when the communities are very mixed and hardly detectable by the other methods.

description: The aim was to identify caries risk factors in 1-year-olds predicting dentine caries in 6-year-olds. Caries risk assessment was performed in 804 one-year-olds. Their parents answered a questionnaire, regarding family factors, general health, food habits and oral hygiene. Clinical examinations and caries risk assessments at 1, 3 and 6 years of age were performed. Simple and multiple regression analyses were used for identification of caries-associated factors. Caries risk was found in 5% of the 1-year-olds, and 12% of the 3-year-olds. Dentine caries was found in 3% of the 3-year-olds and in 16% of the 6-year-olds. Caries risk assessment was associated with caries at 6 years of age (OR = 5.1, p p = .012), Beverage other than water (OR = 2.1, p p = .002), Presence of mutans streptococci (MS) (OR = 1.6, p = .033) and Male gender (OR = 1.5, p = .053). An overall caries risk assessment was more reliable than any single caries risk factor. Caries risk assessment for 1-year-olds in a region with low caries prevalence has limited accuracy to predict dental caries at 6 years of age. Caries risk often changes over time and should be reassessed on a regularly basis. The presence of MS in 1-year-olds did not increase the prognostic accuracy at 6 years of age.

description: Recent advancements of complex network representation among several disciplines motivated the investigation of exoplanetary dynamics by means of recurrence networks. We are able to recover different dynamical regimes by means of various network measures obtained from synthetic time series of a model planetary system. The framework of complex networks is also applied to real astronomical observations acquired by recent state-of-the-art surveys. The outcome of the analysis is consistent with earlier studies opening new directions to investigate planetary dynamics.

Nuclear absorption of Charmoniums in pA and AA collisions

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have analysed the latest NA50 data on $J/ψ$ production in pA and AA collisions. The $J/ψ$ production is assumed to be a two step process, (i) formation of $c\bar{c}$ pairs, perturbatively calculable, and (ii) formation of $J/ψ$ from the pair, a non-perturbative process, which is conviniently parametrized. In a nuclear medium, as the $c\bar{c}$ pair passes through the nuclear medium, it gain relative square momentum and some of the pairs can gain enough square momentum to cross the threshold for open charm meson, leading to suppression in nuclear medium. Few parameters of the model were fixed from the latest high statistics NA50 pA and NA38 SU total $J/ψ$ cross sectional data. The model then reproduces the centrality dependence of $J/ψ$ over Drell-Yan ration in 200 GeV/c S+U and 158 GeV/c Pb+Pb collisions. We also discuss the centrality dependence of $J/ψ$ suppression at RHIC energy.

description: Low-lying shell model states may be approximated accurately by a sum over products of proton and neutron states. The optimal factors are determined by a variational principle and result from the solution of rather low-dimensional eigenvalue problems. Application of this method to sd-shell nuclei, pf-shell nuclei, and to no-core shell model problems shows that very accurate approximations to the exact solutions may be obtained. Their energies, quantum numbers and overlaps with exact eigenstates converge exponentially fast as the number of retained factors is increased.

description: The aim was to compare Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES), sensitivity to criticism scale (STCS) and social appearance anxiety scale (SAAS) scores of individuals with different types of malocclusions, and investigate the correlation between these scores and the index of complexity, outcome and need (ICON) score. One hundred and twenty individuals, who did not have any previous orthodontic treatment, were included. Group 1 included 40 patients with Class I malocclusion (median age of 14 years), Group 2 included 40 patients with Class II malocclusion (median age of 14.25 years) and Group 3 included 40 patients with Class III malocclusion (median age of 15.15 years). ICON scores were 46, 53 and 56 for Groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. RSES, STCS and SAAS questionnaires were performed to the patients. Student’s t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Mann–Whitney’s U and Kruskal–Wallis’s tests were used for the statistical analysis. Group 1 showed significantly higher level of RSES scores compared to Groups 2 and 3 (pppr = 0.247, p=.007). Adolescents with Class II and III malocclusions reported higher levels of social appearance anxiety scores, and lower levels of self-esteem scores compared to Class I. Complexity of orthodontic treatment need showed a significant impact on social appearance anxiety.

Our resuts in equilibrium confirm the presence of the observed superradiant light scattering from BEC: (a) the equilibrium superradiance exists only below a certain transition temperature; (b) there is superradiance and matter-wave (BEC) enhancement due to the coherent coupling between light and matter.

description: We report a significant enhancement of the upper critical field $H_{c2}$ of different $MgB_2$ samples alloyed with nonmagnetic impurities. By studying films and bulk polycrystals with different resistivities $ρ$, we show a clear trend of $H_{c2}$ increase as $ρ$ increases. One particular high resistivity film had zero-temperature $H_{c2}(0)$ well above the $H_{c2}$ values of competing non-cuprate superconductors such as $Nb_3Sn$ and Nb-Ti. Our high-field transport measurements give record values $H_{c2}^\perp (0) \approx 34T$ and $H_{c2}\|(0) \approx 49 T$ for high resistivity films and $H_{c2}(0)\approx 29 T$ for untextured bulk polycrystals. The highest $H_{c2}$ film also exhibits a significant upward curvature of $H_{c2}(T)$, and temperature dependence of the anisotropy parameter $γ(T) = H_{c2}\|/ H_{c2}^\perp$ opposite to that of single crystals: $γ(T)$ decreases as the temperature decreases, from $γ(T_c) \approx 2$ to $γ(0) \approx 1.5$. This remarkable $H_{c2}$ enhancement and its anomalous temperature dependence are a consequence of the two-gap superconductivity in $MgB_2$, which offers special opportunities for further $H_{c2}$ increase by tuning of the impurity scattering by selective alloying on Mg and B sites. Our experimental results can be explained by a theory of two-gap superconductivity in the dirty limit. The very high values of $H_{c2}(T)$ observed suggest that $MgB_2$ can be made into a versatile, competitive high-field superconductor.

description: Most ecological and environmental resources are scarce. Ecological economics and environmental economics are concerned with ways in which these resources can be better managed to reduce economic scarcity or more generally, administered to achieve particular objectives most economically. The way in which environmental impacts from economic activity can add to economic scarcity is illustrated and the importance of accounting for opportunity costs in assessing environmental changes is stressed. Growing concerns in recent decades about environmental issues have been reflected in important international political initiatives relating to the environment and development. These initiatives are identified and the general sources of environmental change (natural and human-induced) are considered with most attention being given to the relationship between economic growth and the environment. Subsequently, changing views of economists about the relationships between economic growth, the stock of natural resources and the state of the environment are outlined and discussed. The views of classical and neo-classical economics are briefly examined but most attention is given to the views of neo-Malthusians and their concerns about the sustainability of economic growth. The extent of environmental change as a result of global economic growth and development has undoubtedly contributed to the growing importance of ecological and environmental economics.

description: Indicates some of the different concepts of sustainable economic development and raises queries about how much present generations are concerned with future generations. A variety of conditions (ranging from very weak to very strong) have been suggested for achieving sustainable development. These are outlined. The prospect that the accumulation of man-made capital may result in unsustainable economic development is discussed and the welfare consequences of the conversion of natural capital are considered in a historical context. This leads on to a discussion of different types of capital: man-made and natural. Division of the total stock of capital into these categories is now common. However, there appears to be a gap because heritage capital (for example, varieties of crops and animals developed by human interference in nature) do not fit well into this framework. Some reasons why economic production may not be maintained or maximised are considered. They include the presence of externalities, open access to resources and the presence of public goods and bads. It is pointed out that it is undesirable to sustain everything, including all industries. While it might seem appealing to seek sustainable strategies that satisfy multiple criteria (such as economic viability, political and social acceptability and ecological sustainability), it is possible that such strategies rarely exist, if at all.

description: Predicting the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a protein from its primary sequence of amino acids is known as the protein folding (PF) problem. Due to the central role of proteins' 3D structures in chemistry, biology and medicine applications (e.g., in drug discovery) this subject has been intensively studied for over half a century. Although classical algorithms provide practical solutions, sampling the conformation space of small proteins, they cannot tackle the intrinsic NP-hard complexity of the problem, even reduced to its simplest Hydrophobic-Polar model. While fault-tolerant quantum computers are still beyond reach for state-of-the-art quantum technologies, there is evidence that quantum algorithms can be successfully used on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers to accelerate energy optimization in frustrated systems. In this work, we present a model Hamiltonian with $\mathcal{O}(N^4)$ scaling and a corresponding quantum variational algorithm for the folding of a polymer chain with $N$ monomers on a tetrahedral lattice. The model reflects many physico-chemical properties of the protein, reducing the gap between coarse-grained representations and mere lattice models. We use a robust and versatile optimisation scheme, bringing together variational quantum algorithms specifically adapted to classical cost functions and evolutionary strategies (genetic algorithms), to simulate the folding of the 10 amino acid Angiotensin peptide on 22 qubits. The same method is also successfully applied to the study of the folding of a 7 amino acid neuropeptide using 9 qubits on an IBM Q 20-qubit quantum computer. Bringing together recent advances in building gate-based quantum computers with noise-tolerant hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, this work paves the way towards accessible and relevant scientific experiments on real quantum processors.

description: We report rare and recurrent large spiking events in a heterogeneous network of superconducting Josephson junctions (JJ) connected through a resistive load and driven by a radio-frequency (rf) current in addition to a constant bias. The intermittent large spiking events show characteristic features of extreme events (EE) since they are larger than a statistically defined significant height. Under the influence of repulsive interactions and an impact of heterogeneity of damping parameters, the network splits into three sub-groups of junctions, one in incoherent rotational, another in coherent librational motion and a third sub-group originating EE. We are able to scan the whole population of junctions with their distinctive individual dynamical features either in EE mode or non-EE mode in parameter space. EE migrates spatially from one to another sub-group of junctions depending upon the repulsive strength and the damping parameter. For a weak repulsive coupling, all the junctions originate frequent large spiking events, in rotational motion when the average inter-spike-interval (ISI) is small, but it increases exponentially with repulsive interaction; it largely deviates from its exponential growth at a break point where EE triggers in a sub-group of junctions. The probability density of inter-event-intervals (IEI) in the subgroup exhibits a Poisson distribution. EE originates via bubbling instability of in-phase synchronization.

description: We obtain constraints on quintessence models from magnitude-redshift measurements of 176 type Ia Supernovae. The considered quintessence models are ordinary quintessence, with Ratra-Peebles and SUGRA potentials, and extended quintessence with a Ratra-Peebles potential. We compute confidence regions in the $Ω_{m0}-α$ plane and find that for SUGRA potentials it is not possible to obtain useful constraints on these parameters; for the Ratra-Peebles case, both for the extended and ordinary quintessence we find $α\mincir 0.8$, at the $1σ$ level. We also consider simulated dataset for the SNAP satellite for the same models: again, for a SUGRA potential it will not be possible to obtain constraints on $α$, while with a Ratra-Peebles potential its value will be determined with an error $\mincir 0.6$. We evaluate the inaccuracy made by approximating the time evolution of the equation of state with a linear or constant $w\diz$, instead of using its exact redshift evolution. Finally we discuss the effects of different systematic errors in the determination of quintessence parameters.

description: We present a Chandra observation of the cooling flow cluster Abell 262. Spectral fits show that the intracluster medium (ICM) in A262 cools by a factor of three from 2.7 keV to 0.9 keV at the cluster center. A mass deposition rate of Mdot = 19 +6/-5 Msun/yr is measured. Complex structure is found in the very inner regions of the cluster, including knots of emission and a clear deficit of emission to the east of the cluster center. The bright X-ray structures are located in the same regions as optical line emission, indicating that cooling to low temperatures has occurred in these regions. The X-ray deficit is spatially coincident with the eastern radio lobe associated with the active galactic nucleus hosted by the central cD galaxy. The region surrounding the X-ray hole is cool, and shows no evidence that it has been strongly shocked. This joins the ranks of other cooling flow clusters with Chandra-detected bubbles blown by central radio sources. This source is different than the other well-known cases, in that the radio source is orders of magnitude less luminous and has produced a much smaller bubble. Comparing the energy output of the radio source with the luminosity of the cooling gas shows that energy transferred to the ICM from the radio source is insufficient to offset the cooling flow unless the radio source is currently experiencing a less powerful than average outburst, and was more powerful in the past.

description: Summarises some of the predicted natural consequences of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Changes in temperature, climates, physical and chemical impacts on the biosphere as well as biodiversity loss are considered. Then some of the expected social and economic consequences of global warming are discussed. Subjects considered are the impacts of global warming on bio-industries and social conditions, the economic costs of greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of climate change. Attention subsequently turns to the environmental Kuznets curve and the inappropriate use of the relationship. For example, it is stressed that reducing the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions in relation to GDP does not necessarily reduce total greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, even if they are reduced, greenhouse gases can continue to accumulate in the atmosphere. Some suggestions are then made about how the global warming problem might be addressed.

description: We consider the Chiral cosmological model consisting of two scalar fields minimally coupled to gravity. In the context of a Friedmann--Lema\^ıtre--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) space-time, and for massless fields in the presence of a cosmological constant, we present the general solution of the field equations. The minisuperspace configuration that possesses maximal symmetry leads to scenarios which - depending on the admissible value of the parameters - correspond to a quintessence, quintom or phantom case. The canonical quantization of the model retrieves this distinction as different families of quantum states. The crossing of the phantom line is related to the existence of free or bound states for the Casimir operator of the symmetry algebra of the fields. The classical singularity, which is present in the quintessence solution, is also resolved at the quantum level.

description: We have obtained deep spectra from 1640 to 10100A with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) of the Strontium Filament, a largely neutral emission nebulosity lying close to the very luminous star Eta Carinae and showing an uncommon spectrum. Over 600 emission lines, both permitted and forbidden, have been identified. The majority originates from neutral or singly-ionized iron group elements (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni). Sr is the only neutron capture element detected. The presence of Sr II, numerous strong Ti II and V II lines and the dominance of Fe I over Fe II are notable discoveries. While emission lines of hydrogen, helium, and nitrogen are associable with other spatial structures at other velocities within the Homunculus, no emission lines from these elements correspond to the spatial structure or velocity of the Sr Filament. Moreover, no identified Sr Filament emission line requires an ionization or excitation energy above approximately 8 eV. Ionized gas extends spatially along the aperture, oriented along the polar axis of the Homunculus, and in velocity around the Strontium Filament. We suggest that the Strontium Filament is shielded from ultraviolet radiation at energies above 8 eV, but is intensely irradiated by the central star at wavelengths longward of 1500A.

 Armenia is a country strongly affected by landslides, but still not enough research has been done on landslide susceptibility in this area. Therefore, the main goal of the study was to create one of the first landslide susceptibility zonation maps covering the entire territory of Armenia. Two different data mining techniques for landslide susceptibility analysis were applied: artificial neural networks (ANN) and C5.0 decision trees (C5.0). Created landslide susceptibility maps showed that the C5.0 models are rather not applicable for susceptibility analysis due to strong overfitting and artifacts caused by pruning. The ANN models provided significantly better results than C5.0 models. Though, they still need to be improved. Another goal of the study was to investigate the influence of landslide inventory on susceptibility analysis. For that reason, two different landslide catalogs were used for the analysis: the GEORISK inventory (2004) based on aerial photographs and field surveys provided by GEORISK Scientific Research Company and MATOSSIAN inventory (2017) based on satellite imagery created by Matossian (2017). Susceptibility zonation maps created using ANN models based on MATOSSIAN catalog showed better performance than models based on GEORISK catalog. This observation was rather unexpected, because MATOSSIAN catalog contains only half as much landslides as GEORISK inventory. However, the main difference between these two inventories is the absence of landslides in a large volcanic region (the Aragats region) in MATOSSIAN inventory. In this regard, it was suggested that this area might negatively influence the results and should be excluded for further investigations. References: Matossian, A. (2017).

description: A simple description for obtaining the parity distribution of nuclear levels in the pf + g9/2 shell as a function of excitation energy was recently derived. We implement this in a global nuclear level density model. In the framework of the statistical model, cross sections and astrophysical reaction rates are calculated in the Fe region and compared to rates obtained with the common assumption of an equal distribution of parities. We find considerable differences, especially for reactions involving particles in the exit channel.
