description: Plateros celebensis Pic, 1921 Plateros celebensis Pic, 1921 b: 7. Remark. Pic (1921 b) included the description of Plateros celebensis in a key to new species of Plateros and Melampyrus Waterhouse, 1879 from Asia. The diagnoses are very short and exclusively based exclusively on external characters, and no earlier described species are included in the key. Unfortunately, we were not able to found the type specimen in the Pic's collection, and therefore only the original information given by Pic (1921 b) is available. Considering body colouration, P. celebensis differs from remaining species known from the area. The translation of Pic's original diagnosis follows: "(18) Elytra black, prothorax red, sometimes with dark patch. (21) Prothorax slightly narrowed frontally, larger, red, with small dark patch before scutellum. Length 7 mm, Celebes".

description: Purpose of this article it to get some evidences of market interaction between United States and Italy using the time series analysis of spot prices spanning from January 1999 to May 2012 for crude oil and three ag-commodities: wheat, corn and soybean. These crops have been selected for their relevance in ag-commodity exchanges between US and Italy markets. The integration between US and Italy agricultural markets is hypothesized for the consistent volume of crop traded between these two countries while the price transmission is related to the leading price signals of the CBT (Chicago Board of Trade). The integration between oil and ag-commodity markets is suggested both by the large use of energy intensive inputs, (fertilizer, seed, machinery) in production of these ag-commodities, and their use in biofuel production. The results suggest: a) for US market the evidence of market integration between crude oil and US ag-commodities; b) for Italy the integration with US ag-commodity markets and less evidence of integration with the oil market. These results are valuable information both for the agents and policy makers contributing to improve the information accuracy to predict the price movements used by marketing operators for their strategies and policy makers to set up policies to re-establish conditions of market efficiency and allocate these ag-commodities in alternative market channels.

description: This paper investigates the contribution of different off-farm income sources and Common Agricultural Policy direct payments on income inequality among farm households. The analysis uses the Gini coefficient concept and its decomposition on the whole sample of Farm Accountancy Data Network individual farms of Italy in 2011. A marginal increase in either off-farm incomes or direct payments reduces income concentration. This result could feed the current debate regarding the application of the new CAP in Italy. Deciding on a narrow definition of “active farmer” or not using the redistributive payment could increase DP and FHI concentration. Of the five considered off-farm income sources, only pensions reduce income concentration. Therefore, policies reducing the level of pensions will increase income inequality. Finally, if rural development policies have also to reduce income inequality, these should be aimed at increasing job opportunities for additional family members.
Search For Extra Dimensions At LEP

description: Searches for extra dimensions have been made at the four LEP experiments, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, where different processes have been searched for within both the ADD and Randall-Sundrum scenarios. Since no signs of any signal have been observed the results have been used to set exclusion limits in the corresponding extra dimension models. This talk presents both individual results from the LEP experiments as well as combined results from the searches for graviton emission and virtual graviton exchange. The results are mainly based on the data recorded between the years 1998-2000, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.6 fb$^{-1}$ per experiment and center-of-mass energies from 189 up to 209 GeV.

description: Accurate local Kohn-Sham potentials have been constructed for the ground $1s^2 ^1S$ state and, in particular, for the lowest triplet $1s2s ^{3}S$ state of the helium atom, using electron densities from many-body calculations and the procedure of van Leeuwen and Baerends (Phys. Rev. A{\bf49}, 2138 (1994)). The resulting Kohn-Sham orbitals reproduce the many-body densities very accurately, and furthermore we have demonstrated that the negative of the energy eigenvalue of the outermost electron orbital agrees with the corresponding ionization energy with extreme accuracy. The procedure is also applied to the Hartree-Fock density of the $1s2s ^{3}S$ state, and the Kohn-Sham eigenvalue of the $2s$ orbital is found to agree very well with the corresponding Hartree-Fock eigenvalue, which is the negative of the ionization energy in this model due to Koopmans' theorem. The results for the $1s2s ^{3}S$ state clearly demonstrate that there is no conflict between the locality of the Kohn-Sham potential and the exclusion principle, as claimed by Nesbet (Phys. Rev. A{\bf58}, R12 (1998)).

We report our preliminary results on the Polyakov loop in different baryon number sectors which exhibit deconfinement transitions on small lattices. The largest density we obtain around $T_c$ is an order of magnitude larger than that of nuclear matter. From the conserved vector current, we calculate the quark number and verify that the mixing of different baryon sectors is small.

description: Relaxation to equilibrium after strong and collective excitation is studied, by using a Hamiltonian dynamical system of one dimensional XY model. After an excitation of a domain of $K$ elements, the excitation is concentrated to fewer elements, which are made farther away from equilibrium, and the excitation intensity increases logarithmically with $K$. Equilibrium is reached only after taking this ``roundabout'' route, with the time for relaxation diverging asymptotically as $K^γ$ with $γ\approx 4.2$.

description: We consider the low-temperature coarsening dynamics of a one-dimensional Ising ferromagnet with conserved Kawasaki-like dynamics in the domain representation. Domains diffuse with size-dependent diffusion constant, $D(l) \propto l^γ$ with $γ= -1$. We generalize this model to arbitrary $γ$, and derive an expression for the domain density, $N(t) \sim t^{-ϕ}$ with $ϕ=1/(2-γ)$, using a scaling argument. We also investigate numerically the persistence exponent $θ$ characterizing the power-law decay of the number, $N_p(t)$, of persistent (unflipped) spins at time $t$, and find $N_{p}(t)\sim t^{-θ}$ where $θ$ depends on $γ$. We show how the results for $ϕ$ and $θ$ are related to similar calculations in diffusion-limited cluster-cluster aggregation (DLCA) where clusters with size-dependent diffusion constant diffuse through an immobile `empty' phase and aggregate irreversibly on impact. Simulations show that, while $ϕ$ is the same in both models, $θ$ is different except for $γ=0$. We also investigate models that interpolate between symmetric domain diffusion and DLCA.

description: We have studied the In$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$As/In$_{y}$Al$_{1-y}$As (001) interface using first-principles ab-initio pseudopotential calculations, focusing on the effects of alloy composition and strain state on the electronic properties. In particular we estimate a valence band offset (VBO) of 0.11 eV (InGaAs higher), including spin-orbit and self-energy corrections, for a strain-compensated configuration with homogenous composition $x=y=0.75$ on a lattice-matched substrate. Unintentional composition fluctuations which are typically limited to a few percent and different short-range order effects give rise only to small variations on the VBO, of the order of 0.1 eV or less, whereas intentional substantial changes in the alloys composition allow to achieve a high tunability of band offsets. We predict a VBO varying in a range of about 1.1 eV for interfaces between the pure arsenides in different strain states as extreme cases of composition variation at In$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$As/In$_{y}$Al$_{1-y}$As heterostructures.

description: On-farm diversification towards multifunctional activities is perceived as central in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform and in the Horizon 2020 strategies, because it strengthens territorial and social cohesion of rural areas. While from a “macro” point of view relations between farm-household diversification and rural economies are central in the process of multi-functionality and in the provision of public goods through agricultural activities, from a “micro” point of view onfarm diversification activities can represent a relevant share of farm income. Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology have developed models aiming to explain the determinants of on-farm diversification thus providing a set of variables potentially influencing on-farm diversification. The paper applies a count model to explain the number of on-farm diversification activities that are implemented by farms in Tuscany. Since the high number of agricultural holdings that do not apply any diversification activity, we propose a two-step model where, firstly a simulation of adoption of diversified strategy as binary variable is considered and secondly, a model analysing the determinants of diversification intensity among the farms that have decided to diversify is implemented. Results confirm that location near main touristic areas and vicinity to urban markets are important determinants of on-farm diversification intensity. Results highlight a positive contribution of the Pillar 2 agricultural policies both in determining the diffusion of on-farm diversification activities and in influencing the intensity of adoption, while high per hectare Single Farm Payments have a negative influence on diversification intensity.

Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: This paper revisits the problem of computing empirical cumulative distribution functions (ECDF) efficiently on large, multivariate datasets. Computing an ECDF at one evaluation point requires $\mathcal{O}(N)$ operations on a dataset composed of $N$ data points. Therefore, a direct evaluation of ECDFs at $N$ evaluation points requires a quadratic $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ operations, which is prohibitive for large-scale problems. Two fast and exact methods are proposed and compared. The first one is based on fast summation in lexicographical order, with a $\mathcal{O}(N{\log}N)$ complexity and requires the evaluation points to lie on a regular grid. The second one is based on the divide-and-conquer principle, with a $\mathcal{O}(N\log(N)^{(d-1){\vee}1})$ complexity and requires the evaluation points to coincide with the input points. The two fast algorithms are described and detailed in the general $d$-dimensional case, and numerical experiments validate their speed and accuracy. Secondly, the paper establishes a direct connection between cumulative distribution functions and kernel density estimation (KDE) for a large class of kernels. This connection paves the way for fast exact algorithms for multivariate kernel density estimation and kernel regression. Numerical tests with the Laplacian kernel validate the speed and accuracy of the proposed algorithms. A broad range of large-scale multivariate density estimation, cumulative distribution estimation, survival function estimation and regression problems can benefit from the proposed numerical methods.

description: Soil and water conservation practices are being promoted in Ghana as a way of sustainably managing the environment to support agricultural production. Despite the important role the adoption of the practices plays in conserving the environment, very few studies have been conducted to analyse the factors influencing their intensive adoption. This study analyses the determinants of intensity of adoption of soil and water conservation practices using data from a cross-section of smallholder producers in Northern Ghana. Count data models are used for the analysis. The empirical results show that access to information, social capital, per capita landholding and wealth play an important role in smallholder producers’ decision to intensively adopt soil and water conservation practices.

description: It is well known that elastic effects can cause surface instability. In this paper, we analyze a one-dimensional discrete system which can reveal pattern formation mechanism resembling the "step-bunching" phenomena for epitaxial growth on vicinal surfaces. The surface steps are subject to long-range pairwise interactions taking the form of a general Lennard--Jones (LJ) type potential. It is characterized by two exponents $m$ and $n$ describing the singular and decaying behaviors of the interacting potential at small and large distances, and henceforth are called generalized LJ $(m,n)$ potential. We provide a systematic analysis of the asymptotic properties of the step configurations and the value of the minimum energy, in particular, their dependence on $m$ and $n$ and an additional parameter $α$ indicating the interaction range. Our results show that there is a phase transition between the bunching and non-bunching regimes. Moreover, some of our statements are applicable for any critical points of the energy, not necessarily minimizers. This work extends the technique and results of [Luo et al, SIAM MMS, 2016] which concentrates on the case of LJ (0,2) potential (originated from the elastic force monopole and dipole interactions between the steps). As a by-product, our result also leads to the well-known fact that the classical LJ (6,12) potential does not demonstrate step-bunching type phenomena.

description: The four most stable structures of Ni$_N$ clusters with $N$ from 2 to 150 have been determined using a combination of the embedded-atom method in the version of Daw, Baskes and Foiles, the {\it variable metric/quasi-Newton} method, and our own {\it Aufbau/Abbau} method. A systematic study of energetics, structure, growth, and stability of also larger clusters has been carried through without more or less severe assumptions on the initial geometries in the structure optimization, on the symmetry, or on bond lengths. It is shown that cluster growth is predominantly icosahedral with $islands$ of {\it fcc}, {\it tetrahedral} and {\it decahedral} growth. For the first time in unbiased computations it is found that Ni$_{147}$ is the multilayer (third Mackay) icosahedron. Further, we point to an enhanced ability of {\it fcc} clusters to compete with the icosahedral and decahedral structures in the vicinity of N=79. In addition, it is shown that conversion from the {\it hcp}/anti-Mackay kind of icosahedral growth to the {\it fcc}/Mackay one occurs within a transition layer including several cluster sizes. Moreover, we present and apply different analytical tools in studying structural and energetic properties of such a large class of clusters. These include means for identifying the overall shape, the occurrence of atomic shells, the similarity of the clusters with, e.g., fragments of the {\it fcc} crystal or of a large icosahedral cluster, and a way of analysing whether the $N$-atom cluster can be considered constructed from the $(N-1)$-atom one by adding an extra atom. In addition, we compare in detail with results from chemical-probe experiment. Maybe the most central result is that first for clusters with $N$ above 80 general trends can be identified.

description: A recent study published by Murphy et al. (2005) reported results of a meta-analysis of hypothetical bias using 28 valuation studies. The authors found a median ratio of hypothetical to actual values of 1.35 but they did not investigate the ratio of variances of the hypothetical and actual value distributions, which is of great relevance in joint stated and revealed preference analysis. We propose an addendum to Murphy et al. (2005) to provide some insights on the distribution of the scale factor across 23 studies for which relevant data is available. We distinguish three types of dispersion parameters reported in the literature. We find that the ratio of real to hypothetical standard deviations of marginal distributions of WTP is about 0.6.

description: We obtain an analytic solution for an axionic non-supersymmetric deformation of the warped deformed conifold. This allows us to study D-strings in the infrared limit of non-supersymmetric deformations of the Klebanov-Strassler background. They are interpreted as axionic strings in the dual field theory. Following the arguments of [hep-th/0405282], the axion is a massless pseudo-scalar glueball which is present in the supergravity fluctuation spectrum and it is interpreted as the Goldstone boson of the spontaneously broken U(1) baryon number symmetry, being the gauge theory on the baryonic branch. Besides, we briefly discuss about the Pando Zayas-Tseytlin solution where the SU(2) \times SU(2) global symmetry is spontaneously broken. This background has been conjectured to be on the mesonic branch of the gauge theory.

description: Introduction: The World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health calls on speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to provide care that impacts all aspects of an individual’s experience with a communication disorder, including their participation in valued life situations. However, SLPs often report feeling unprepared to implement and document interventions that target life participation. The purpose of this article is to propose a framework to guide participation-focused intervention practices. This age- and disorder-generic framework is designed to be applicable with clients across the variety of settings in which SLPs work.Method: In this clinical focus article, we draw on past research and clinical experience to propose a restructuring of World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health components such that participation is the primary focus and outcomes indicator for intervention. In this framework, a specific communicative participation situation is identified and assessed quantitatively, and a corresponding participation-focused goal is established through shared decision making. Following that, assessments are conducted and goals are established in the areas of communication skills, physical and social environments, and personal perspectives.Results: The proposed framework provides a concrete organizational structure as well as assessment, goal-writing, and intervention examples to assist SLPs in translating theoretical biopsychosocial frameworks into clinical practices.Conclusions: SLPs can and do provide holistic communication services to clients to help them achieve their life participation goals. This article provides an example as to how we can document the need for, as well as the value and impact of our important work, meeting the diverse life participation needs of clients.

description: There is currently an increasing interest in developing efficient solvers for phase-field modeling of brittle fracture. The governing equations for this problem originate from a constrained minimization of a non-convex energy functional, and the most commonly used solver is a staggered solution scheme. This is known to be robust compared to the monolithic Newton method, however, the staggered scheme often requires many iterations to converge when cracks are evolving. The focus of our work is to accelerate the solver through a scheme that sequentially applies Anderson acceleration and over-relaxation, switching back and forth depending on the residual evolution, and thereby ensuring a decreasing tendency. The resulting scheme takes advantage of the complementary strengths of Anderson acceleration and over-relaxation to make a robust and accelerating method for this problem. The new method is applied as a post-processing technique to the increments of the solver, hence, the implementation can be done with minor modifications to already available software. Moreover, the cost of combining the two acceleration schemes is negligible. The robustness and efficiency of the method are demonstrated through numerical examples.
Distribution and diversity of vibrio parahaemolyticus viruses (VpVs) and their hosts

description: Vibrio parahaemolyticus viruses (VpVs) and their hosts were used as model organisms to explore the distribution and diversity of single-species populations in multiple habitats of coastal British Columbia. Abundances of host and virus were first monitored for a year in oysters. Temporal changes in host-range patterns, derived from bacterial and viral isolates, demonstrated that a significant shift in virus strains occurred during the winter months. Calculations of virus-induced mortality indicated that the presence of additional host species may be required to sustain viral production during summer. During winter, the persistent VpV population also required bacteria other than the host species and/or cells of altered culturability. Secondly, the distribution, phage-typing patterns, and genetic diversity of V. parahaemolyticus and total Vibrio spp. were examined in the water column and sediments. The bacteria were widespread and, not surprisingly therefore, geographic distribution was a poor determinant of strain diversity. Environment of isolation however, had a much more profound effect on genetic diversity and on phage-typing patterns to an even greater extent. Sources of high abundance produced strains with high susceptibility to viral infection; and the opposite was true for the water column. Thirdly, random amplification of polymorphic DNA was modified using a degenerate primer to produce unique and reproducible banding patterns from viral genomes. The findings described a rapid, PCR-based tool (DP-RAPD) for strain-typing viral isolates that allowed inferences to be made on genetic relatedness within groups of related viruses. Finally, the DP-RAPD was used in an investigation that examined the spatial variation in hostrange and genetic diversity of newly isolated and characterized VpVs from the water column. VpVs were a nearly ubiquitous component of the water-column virioplankton, yet at very low abundances. When compared to oyster VpVs, it was clear that the major determinant of diversity was not geography, but the source habitat. Viruses from some of the farthest separated locations were closely related, while the diversity within some locations was very high. Overall, the diversity of viruses infecting a single Vibrio species was high and the host-virus populations were under similar phenotypic and genotypic selective pressures, mediated by the source habitat.

description: Extending the concepts of light-front field theory to quantum statistics provides a novel approach towards nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Such conditions exist, e.g., in neutron stars or in the early stage of our universe. They are experimentally expected to occur in heavy ion collisions, e.g., at RHIC and accelerators to be build at GSI and CERN. Light-front field theory is particularly suited, since it is based on a relativistic Hamiltonian approach. It allows us to treat the perturbative as well as the nonperturbative regime of QCD and also correlations that emerge as a field of few-body physics and is important for hadronization. Last but not least the Hamiltonian approach is useful for nonequilibrium processes by utilizing, e.g., the formalism of nonequilibrium statistical operators.

description: High-contrast imaging (HCI) observations of exoplanets can be limited by the island effect (IE). On the current generation of telescopes, the IE becomes a severe problem when the ground wind speed is below a few meters per second. This is referred to as the low-wind effect (LWE). The LWE severely distorts the point spread function (PSF), significantly lowering the Strehl ratio and degrading the contrast. In this article, we aim to show that the focal-plane wavefront sensing (FPWFS) algorithm, Fast and Furious (F&F), can be used to measure and correct the IE/LWE. We deployed the algorithm on the SCExAO HCI instrument at the Subaru Telescope using the internal near-infrared camera in H-band. We tested F&F with the internal source, and it was deployed on-sky to test its performance with the full end-to-end system and atmospheric turbulence. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated by two metrics based on the PSF quality: 1) the Strehl ratio approximation ($SRA$), and 2) variance of the normalized first Airy ring ($VAR$). Random LWE phase screens with a peak-to-valley wavefront error between 0.4 $μ$m and 2 $μ$m were all corrected to a $SRA$ $>$90\% and an $VAR\lessapprox0.05$. Furthermore, the on-sky results show that F&F is able to improve the PSF quality during very challenging atmospheric conditions (1.3-1.4'' seeing at 500 nm). Closed-loop tests show that F&F is able to improve the $VAR$ from 0.27 to 0.03 and therefore significantly improve the symmetry of the PSF. Simultaneous observations of the PSF in the {optical} ($λ= $ 750 nm, $Δλ=$ 50 nm) show that during these tests we were correcting aberrations common to the optical and NIR paths within SCExAO. Going forward, the algorithm is suitable for incorporation into observing modes, which will enable PSFs of higher quality and stability during science observations.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Histological Image Analysis
Creators: name: Cole, Hannah

Year: 2024

description: Histological image analysis is performed by examining tissue sections under a light (optical) or electron microscope, based on which manual or automated analysis can be conducted to detect diseased tissues. Image analysis involves the computer-assisted quantification of various measurement parameters. Typical measurement parameters include object count, linear measurement, area measurement, and relative color intensity. Image analysis has proven to be valuable in identifying and documenting the subtle induced changes in tissues. Compared to the less precise or more laborious “manual” quantification methods, image analysis has numerous potential advantages including improved objectivity and consistency, enhanced sensitivity, and shorter turnaround times, especially for projects where measurements can be automated. In addition, image analysis provides a permanent record of the data, produces results that are highly amenable to statistical analysis, and allows user to collect data that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to obtain.

description: Joseph Armstrong was the maternal uncle of Menston resident Joe Dixon. He joined the Royal Naval Division, was in Gallipoli, then transferred to the Royal Navy. He was with H.M.S Resolution in the famous blockage when they rammed the German ships in Zebrugge.

Joe was on HMS Imphenia, the third vessel to be scuttled. The navy then scuttled one of their own ships to completely block the entry to the port to stop German U-boats in or out. Regarded almost as a suicide mission, just a few men were killed but Joseph survived with just a tracer scar on one knee.

After the war, Joseph returned to the mines and remained a pit man for 46 years. He died on the 25th February 1975.

description: A complete description of the nucleon structure in terms of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) at twist 2 level requires the measurement/computation of the eight functions H, E, \tilde H, \tilde E, H_T, E_T, \tilde H_T and \tilde E_T, all depending on the three variables x, ξand t. In this talk, we present and discuss our first steps in the framework of lattice QCD towards this enormous task. Dynamical lattice QCD results for the lowest three Mellin moments of the helicity dependent and independent GPDs are shown in terms of their corresponding generalized form factors. Implications for the transverse coordinate space structure of the nucleon as well as the orbital angular momentum (OAM) contribution of quarks to the nucleon spin are discussed in some detail.

description: ISH differs from immunohistochemistry which typically localizes proteins in tissue sections. ISH can be performed on a variety of targets, including RNA within cells, DNA in metaphase chromosome preparations obtained from mitotic cells, or DNA in interphase nuclei from cells in the non-mitotic phases. ISH not only has the advantages of detection in morphological context, but also is favored by people for its high sensitivity to nucleic acid detection. ISH has been widely used in clinical cytogenetics, tumor biology, gene mapping and chromosome evolution research.
