description: An aptamer-based lateral flow test strip was developed for the simultaneous detection of Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Staphylococcus aureus. This assay was based on the sandwich-type format using primary aptamer conjugated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the signal probe and a secondary aptamer-coated membrane as a capture probe. Several experimental conditions that influenced sensitivity were investigated, including the aptamer and NaCl concentrations and the loaded amounts of gold nanoparticle–aptamer conjugates and streptavidin–aptamer conjugates. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the visual limits of detection of the strip for S. Typhimurium, E. coli O157:H7 and S. aureus were 103 CFU/mL, 104 CFU/mL, and 104 CFU/mL, respectively. All measurements were achieved within 10 min, and no significant cross-reactivity with several foodborne pathogens was observed. This aptamer-based strip was successfully applied to the simultaneous detection of these foodborne pathogens in food samples. The aptamer-based lateral flow test strip was shown to provide a reliable, simple and accurate tool for the simultaneous detection of multiple foodborne pathogens.

description: The consumption of animal products in South Africa is projected to 2020 and used to derive protein feed usage. A spreadsheet model, developed for this purpose, has the following novel features:- it is interactive and readily allows for scenario analysis; the price of protein is endogenous in the South African model as it is generated by an international model; income elasticities of demand are permitted to decline with GNP growth; it incorporates estimated rates of technological progress in livestock production, and predicts the resulting real price change. Total protein consumption is projected at 1.54 million tons by 2010, a 24% increase from 2000, and 1.96 million tons by 2020, a 58% increase from 2000, under base population growth and low income growth. Broiler, egg and pork product prices (projected to decline in real terms because of expected technological advances) contribute to increasing protein usage even in the absence of significant real income growth rates. Population growth remains the most important demand driver and scenario analysis reveals that alternative population growth rates impact significantly on projections. The negative effect of HIV/AIDS on population growth and the subsequent restriction on potential protein use is evident.

description: Given a chain of groups $G_0 \le G_1 \le G_2 ... $, we may form the corresponding chain of their representation rings, together with induction and restriction operators. We may let $\textrm{Res}^l$ denote the operator which restricts down $l$ steps, and similarly for $\textrm{Ind}^l$. Observe then that $\textrm{Ind}^l \textrm{Res}^l$ is an operator from any particular representation ring to itself. The central question that this paper addresses is: "What happens if the $\textrm{Ind}^l \textrm{Res}^l$ operator is a polynomial in the $\textrm{Ind} \textrm{Res}$ operator?". We show that chains of wreath products $\{H^n \rtimes S_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ have this property, and in particular, the polynomials that appear in the case of symmetric groups are the falling factorial polynomials. An application of this fact gives a remarkable new way to compute characters of wreath products (in particular symmetric groups) using matrix multiplication. We then consider arbitrary chains of groups, and find very rigid constraints that such a chain must satisfy in order for $\textrm{Ind}^l \textrm{Res}^l$ to be a polynomial in $\textrm{Ind} \textrm{Res}$. Our rigid constraints justify the intuition that this property is indeed a very rare and special property.

description: This study investigates the relevance of the Elephant Island (EI) region for Southern Hemisphere fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in their annual life cycle. We collected 3 years of passive acoustic recordings (January 2013 to February 2016) northwest of EI to calculate time series of fin whale acoustic indices, daily acoustic occurrence, spectrograms, as well as the abundance of their 20 Hz pulses. Acoustic backscatter strength, sea ice concentration and chlorophyll-a composites provided concurrent environmental information for graphic comparisons. Acoustic interannual, seasonal and diel patterns together with visual information and literature resources were used to define the period of occupancy and to infer potential drivers for their behaviour. Spectral results suggest that these fin whales migrate annually to and from offshore central Chile. Acoustic data and visual information reveal their arrival at EI in December to feed without producing their typical 20 Hz pulse. For all 3 years, acoustic activity commences in February, peaks in May and decreases in August, in phase with the onset of their breeding season. Our results emphasize the importance of EI for fin whales throughout most of the year. Our recommendation is to consider EI for establishing a marine protected area to expedite the recovery of this vulnerable species.

description: This study employed the logit model to examine factors that influence the use of cattle and chicken manure for managing soil fertility by surveying a random sample of 224 farm households in the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. The majority (87%) of the respondents were farming on communal land with an average farm size of 2.9 hectares. Sixty-three % of the farmers in the sample used manure to manage soil fertility in their fields. Cattle manure was used by 54% while chicken manure was used by 39% of the sample. Manure was readily available to 73% of the respondent farmers. The common method of applying manure was by a spreader. Some suggestions are made on strategies that could improve the efficiency of utilization of manure for soil fertility management in this agro ecosystem.

description: We propose and investigate a mesh deformation technique for PDE constrained shape optimization. Introducing a gradient penalization to the inner product for linearized shape spaces, mesh degeneration can be prevented within the optimization iteration allowing for the scalability of employed solvers. We illustrate the approach by a shape optimization for cellular composites with respect to linear elastic energy under tension. The influence of the gradient penalization is evaluated and the parallel scalability of the approach demonstrated employing a geometric multigrid solver on hierarchically distributed meshes.

description: The aim of this research was to develop a generic decision tree model that captures and integrates in a logical and orderly manner the impacts of production and marketing activities that determine the profitability of flower production for export. The model has to indicate options necessitating choices between alternative production and marketing activities and has to show the impact of a particular choice on the profitability of the total operation. The model should be easily adaptable to evaluate the suitability of various flowers for export. The model was applied to describe the income and cost determinants and relevant choices with regard to the production of Protea Magnifica (Queen Protea) in the Western Cape to be sold on Dutch flower auctions.

The staggered orbital order associated with the GdFeO$_3$-type distortion induces the anisotropic NNN interaction, and yields the unique sinusoidal and $E$-type ("up-up-down-down") AF ordered states in the distorted perovskites with $e_g^1$ configuration.

description: Low-income urban African communities in South Africa constitute a market for low-cost products. Although urbanised, these communities’ traditional rural food consumption behaviour is often still present, and this includes large volumes of sour milk or Maas. The low-income urban African is, however, deprived of this product due to numerous factors, resulting in nutritional shortages in the diet. Therefore, the demand exists in low income urban African communities for a low-cost fermented milk product with high nutritional value that is safe to consume and that is comparable in taste to traditional Maas. Kefir, a fermented milk product of Russian origin, has the ability to satisfy these needs.

This article offers a perspective on some of the challenges in the industry. It relies on case studies drawn from thirty five interviews with leading clean tech investment managers across Silicon Valley, New York and London. The findings suggest that despite the long-term growth opportunities, some investors have struggled to find attractive risk-reward premiums in early stage investments.

description: We study the semiclassical time evolution of observables given by matrix valued pseudodifferential operators and construct a decomposition of the Hilbert space $L^2(\rz^d)\otimes\kz^n$ into a finite number of almost invariant subspaces. For a certain class of observables, that is preserved by the time evolution, we prove an Egorov theorem. We then associate with each almost invariant subspace of $L^2(\rz^d)\otimes\kz^n$ a classical system on a product phase space $\TRd\times\cO$, where $\cO$ is a compact symplectic manifold on which the classical counterpart of the matrix degrees of freedom is represented. For the projections of eigenvectors of the quantum Hamiltonian to the almost invariant subspaces we finally prove quantum ergodicity to hold, if the associated classical systems are ergodic.

description: Superfamily SCINOIDEA Bowman & Gruner, 1973   Diagnosis. Sexual dimorphism of pereon sometimes very pronounced (spherically bulging) in females of some species due to enlarged pereonites 1–4 (5). Pereon of males only marginally inflated, or slender. Eyes very small, or absent. Mandibles with narrow incisor; lacinia mobilis well-developed, or absent (Scinidae); palp absent, or reduced to one article (Pseudomimonectes). Maxilliped with inner lobes separate, or partly so, or completely fused (Scina, Spinoscina), or absent (Acanthoscina, Ctenoscina). Gnathopods simple, rarely with postero-distal excavation of propodus. Pereopods simple, rarely with retractile dactyls (Microscinidae fam. nov.), or only P5–7 with retractile dactyls (Mimoscinidae fam. nov.).
 Four families: Scinidae, Mimonectidae, Mimoscinidae fam. nov. and Microscinidae fam. nov. (Proscinidae excluded).
 Remarks. The superfamily Scinoidea was proposed by Bowman and Gruner (1973) to replace the old subtribe name Sciniformata, proposed by Stephensen and Pirlot (1931) to encompass the families Archaeoscinidae, Mimonectidae, Proscinidae and Scinidae. Subsequently, Vinogradov et al. (1982) removed Archaeoscinidae from this group and proposed a new superfamily, Achaeoscinoidea, to accommodate it because it possessed characters not found in either of the then recognised superfamilies, Lanceoloidea and Scinoidea, in the infraorder Physosomata (see Zeidler 2006). Although the remaining families are united by a combination of several characters, as in the diagnosis above, it is a relatively morphologically diverse group, with some members sharing characters with the other two superfamilies in the infraorder.
 It differs primarily from Archaeoscinidae and Lanceoloidea in that the mandibles lack a palp (except onearticulate in Pseudomimonectes but also absent in Chuneolidae). However, some species exhibit the extreme sexual dimorphism found in mature females of Archaeoscina, and some species have pereopods with retractile dactyls as found in some Lanceoloidea.

description: Aftershocks of the 2012 Off-Coast of Sumatra Earthquake Sequence exhibit a complex and diffuse spatial distribution. The first-order complexity in aftershock distribution is clear and well beyond the influence of typical earthquake location uncertainty. The sequence included rupture of multiple fault segments, spatially separated. We use surface-wave based relative centroid locations to examine whether, at the small scale, the distribution of the aftershocks was influenced by location errors. Surface-wave based relative location has delineated precise oceanic transform fault earthquake locations in multiple regions. However, the relocated aftershocks off the coast of Sumatra seldom align along simple linear trends that are compatible with the corresponding fault strikes as estimated for the GCMT catalog. The relocation of roughly 60 moderate-earthquake epicentroids suggests that the faulting involved in the 2012 earthquake aftershock sequence included strain release along many short fault segments. Statistical analysis and temporal variations of aftershocks show a typical decay of the aftershocks but a relatively low number of aftershocks, as is common for intraplate oceanic earthquakes. Coulomb stress calculations indicate that most of the moderate-magnitude aftershocks are compatible with stress changes predicted by the large-event slip models. The patterns in the aftershocks suggest that the formation of the boundary and eventual localization of deformation between the Indian and Australian plate is a complicated process.

description: Countries with low marginal costs of abating carbon emissions may have high total costs, and vice versa, for a given climate mitigation policy. This may help to explain different countries' policy stances on climate mitigation. We hypothesize that, under a common percentage cut in emissions intensity relative to business as usual (BAU), countries with higher BAU emissions intensities have lower marginal abatement costs, but total costs relative to output will be similar across countries; and under a common carbon price, relative total costs are higher in emissions-intensive countries. Using the results of the 22nd Energy Modeling Forum, we estimate marginal abatement cost curves for the US, EU, China, and India, which we use to estimate marginal and total costs of abatement under a number of policy options currently under international debate. The results of this analysis provide support for our hypotheses.
Australia’s Carbon Pricing Strategies in a Global Context

description: The impact of international carbon control measures – and the absence of such measures – on Australian carbon pricing policies are analyzed both at a theoretical and empirical level. While theory and interest group advocacy suggest a potential case for destination accounting of carbon emissions and border tax adjustments and/or export exemptions, this case is sometimes exaggerated. For example, in the ferrous metals sector, empirical analysis suggests that gains from such refinements are low since carbon leakages and adverse competitiveness effects are small. In other sectors – such as non-ferrous metals – the effects are more pronounced. Exaggerating the competitiveness costs of carbon pricing runs the risk of policy overreaction and unintended protectionism, dramatically increasing the costs of Australian carbon pricing policies. Providing free and tradable emission quotas to exporters and import competing sectors is a ‘second best’ policy but one with practicality in sectors where adverse competitiveness effects do need to be addressed.

subject: Generation of Synthetic Dataset

description: This thesis proposes a novel method to estimate realistic-looking environment images from an input face image. Having correct light information is crucial for a variety of virtual and mixed reality applications, but training deep neural networks to calculate this information requires large datasets, which are not easily obtainable for pairs of face images and corresponding environment maps.We address this problem by creating a synthetic dataset using digital human characters from the MetaHuman framework. These human characters are illuminated by environment maps obtained from different sources and rendered using Unreal Engine. Through parameter augmentation, we achieve a diverse dataset of over 150000 face images with high-quality light information.Using this dataset, we trained a CNN to estimate the brightness of a scene given a single face image. The network is able to identify the most dominant light directions for most indoor and outdoor scenes, but sometimes fails in generating output that topologically matches the layout of equirectangular environment images. For unseen real-life examples of outdoor scenes, it was able to correctly identify the position of the sun.To enable generating realistic-looking images from text input, we finetuned a pretrained diffusion network on environment images. The text prompts are generated from face images using existing image-to-text models. By adding the estimated brightness images from our CNN, we can guide the model to follow the layout of the original scenes.Our final proposed pipeline is therefore a sequential combination of multiple different neural networks, starting from a single face image. First, the brightness of the surrounding scene is estimated from the face image with a CNN. Using the same face image, a text prompt that describes the surrounding scene is generated using a pretrained image-to-text model. Then, the text prompt is fed to a finetuned diffusion network which is additionally conditioned by the estimated brightness image. This yields a modular system for estimating the surrounding environment from a single image of a human face.

description: Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the key Gram-negative pathogens that can cause serious nosocomial infections. In China, a large proportion of clinical A. baumannii strains are multidrug resistant, among which strains resistant to carbapenems are particularly worrisome, as infections caused by such strains may limit the choice of existing antibiotics. We conducted a nationwide and genome-based surveillance on the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profile of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) strains collected from intensive care units (ICUs) in hospitals in different provinces and investigated the routes of transmission and mechanism of resistance by whole-genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. We found that CRAB strains were prevalent in 71.4% (55/77) of the ICUs surveyed. Clonal spread of CRAB was found in 37.6% (29/77) of ICUs and a total of 22 different clones were identified. Most clones were transmissible within one ICU, but up to six clones could be detected in at least three hospitals. In addition, carbapenem-hydrolysing class D β-lactamases (CHDL) were found to be mainly responsible for carbapenem-resistance in A. baumannii and the ST2 global-clone is the predominant type of CRAB in China. Importantly, we found that CRAB isolates currently exhibited an extremely low rate of resistance to colistin (0.4%) and tigecycline (2.5%), but a high rate of resistance to ceftazidime–avibactam (70.2%). Findings in this work shall facilitate development of appropriate antimicrobial regimens for treatment of CRAB infections. Further surveillance and research on the evolutionary and epidemiological features of clinical CRAB strains are necessary.

description: Long-range effects on the pyroelectric coefficient and susceptibility of a ferroelectric bilayer with a ferroelectric interfacial coupling are investigated by use of the transverse Ising model within the framework of mean-field theory. The effects of the interfacial coupling and the transverse field on the pyroelectric coefficient and susceptibility of the bilayer are investigated by taking into account the long-range interaction. It is found that the pyroelectric coefficient and susceptibility increase with the decrease of the magnitude of the long-range interaction and the interfacial coupling when the temperature is lower than the phase transition temperature. We also find that the strong long-range interaction, the large transverse field and weak interfacial coupling can lead to the disappearance of some of the peaks of the pyroelectric coefficient and susceptibility of the ferroelectric bilayer. The phase transition temperature increases with the increase of the strength of the long-range interaction, which is similar to the results obtained in ferroelectric multi-layers or superlattice.

description: This paper presents the effect of different cooling rate after annealing on structural and electrical properties of TiO2 thin films. Titanium dioxide thin film was deposited on a silicon substrate using DC magnetron technique. After annealing TiO2 thin films at 600oC, to investigate the effect of different cooling rates on TiO2 thin films, samples were cooled down from 600oC to the room temperature under 3 different rates: 2oC/min, 6oC/min and 8oC/min. The Surface morphology, crystal structure, and electrical property of samples were characterized by atomic force measurement (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Four-point probe (FPP) technique. It is found that the rate of decreasing temperature after annealing can affect the morphology structure and electrical resistivity of titanium dioxide. Sample with 2oC/m has the biggest grain size, and more electrical resistivity while the smallest grain size and lowest electrical resistivity belong to sample with 8oC/m cooling rate.

description: Climate projections suggest increased inundation and erosion of beachfront property on the east coast of Australia over the coming century. Protective measures and accommodation to the effects of flooding offer initial lines of defence, but managed retreat will ultimately be required for some property owners. Current and disaster management frameworks offer little policy guidance on who should pay for retreat, or how. Ordinary insurance, catastrophe insurance, group risk insurance, catastrophe bonds and reverse mortgages offer potential solutions, but are ultimately flawed. This paper examines an innovative proposal in the form of mortgage contingent loans which could minimise government involvement, and therefore the risk to taxpayers.

description: We study a system of simple random walks on graphs, known as frog model. This model can be described as follows: There are active and sleeping particles living on some graph G. Each active particle performs a simple random walk with discrete time and at each moment it may disappear with probability 1-p. When an active particle hits a sleeping particle, the latter becomes active. Phase transition results and asymptotic values for critical parameters are presented for Z^d and regular trees.

description: Resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs limits the control of gastric cancer (GC) development. The study intended to probe into the mechanism of aquaporin 3 (AQP3) on the chemoresistance of GC. Cisplatin (CDDP)-resistant cells were constructed. Parental AGS and HGC-27 cells and their respective CDDP-resistant cells were transfected with AQP3 overexpression plasmid, AQP3 short hairpin RNA (sh-AQP3) and sh-Kruppel-like factor 5 (shKLF5). The expressions of AQP3 and factors related to autophagy (LC3 I, LC3 II, Atg5, Beclin-1, p62)/epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT; E-cadherin and snail) were assessed by Western blot and qRT-PCR. Cell counting kit-8 assay was adopted to test cell viability and half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50) was determined. Transwell assay was used for the examination of cell migration and invasion. The regulatory relationship of AQP3 and KLF5 was tested by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and dual luciferase reporter assays. AQP3 was highly-expressed in GC cells and its level was even higher in CDDP-resistant GC cells. AQP3 silencing inhibited viability, autophagy and EMT in CDDP-resistant GC cells, while AQP3 overexpression had the opposite effect. KLF5 positively modulated AQP3 in GC cells resistant to CDDP. KLF5 knockdown reversed AQP3-induced autophagy, viability, migration, invasion and EMT in CDDP-resistant GC cells. KLF5-modulated AQP3 activated autophagy to facilitate the resistance of GC to CDDP.

description: China’s capital-intensive, export-oriented, spectacular economic growth since launching its open-door policy and economic reforms in late 1978 not only has created jobs and has lifted millions of the Chinese people out of poverty, but also has given rise to unprecedented environmental pollution and CO2 emissions. While estimates of the embedded CO2 emissions in China’s trade differ, both single country studies for China and global studies show a hefty chunk of China’s CO2 emissions embedded in trade. This portion of CO2 emissions had helped to turn China into the world’s largest carbon emitter, and is further widening its gap with the second largest emitter. This raises the issue of who should be responsible for this portion of emissions and bearing the carbon cost of exports. China certainly wants importers to cover some, if not all, of that costs. While China’s stance is understandable, this paper has argued from a broad and balanced perspective that if this is pushed too far, it will not help to find solutions to this issue. On the contrary it can be to China’s disadvantage for a number of reasons. However, aligning this responsibility with China does not necessarily suggest the sole reliance on domestic actions. In that context, the paper recommends specific actions that need to be taken internationally as well as domestically in order to effectively control the embedded CO2 emissions in China’s trade.
