description: We examine Killing spinor equations of the general eleven-dimensional pp-wave backgrounds, which contain a scalar H(x^m,x^-) in the metric and a three-form ξ(x^m,x^-) in the flux. Considering non-harmonic extra Killing spinors, we show that if the backgrounds admit at least one extra Killing spinor in addition to the standard 16 Killing spinors, they can be reduced to the form with H=A_{mn}(x^-)x^mx^n and ξ(x^-) modulo coordinate transformations. We further examine the cases in which the extra Killing spinor is characterized by a set of Cartan matrices. The super-isometry algebras of the resulting backgrounds are also derived.

description: The notion of synthetic dimensions has expanded the realm of topological physics to four dimensional (4D) space lately. In this work, non-Hermiticity is used as a synthetic parameter in PT-symmetric photonic crystals to study the topological physics in 4D non-Hermitian synthetic parameter space. We realize a 3D exceptional hypersurface (EHS) in such 4D parameter space, and the degeneracy points emerge due to the symmetry of synthetic parameters. We further demonstrate the existence of exceptional degenerate points (EDPs) on the EHS that originates from the chirality of exceptional points (EPs), and the exceptional surface near EDPs behaves like a Dirac cone. We further show that a very narrow reflection plateau can be found near these EDPs, and their sensitivity towards the PT-symmetry breaking environmental perturbation can make these degeneracy points useful in optical sensing and many other nonlinear and quantum optical applications.

description: This brief paper aims at indicating the essential points of contact between Shakespeare and Keats in order to try to understand what kind of relationship the romantic poet established with the Elizabethan playwright. In 1987 Robert White wrote the book Keats as a Reader of Shakespeare, which remains, in my view, the most exhaustive study on the topic, and this definition seems to me the most appropriate way to define this connection since Keats appears to be primarily a ‘reader’, a reader who is powerfully affected and inspired by his contact with Shakespeare’s works, rather than a scholar who interprets. This does not mean that Keats does not offer what we could define as critical comments in his letters, in reviews or even in some of the annotations on his own copy of Shakespeare’s plays, but he is not a Hazlitt or even a Coleridge; we could speak of reactions rather than analyses. In this light the paper attempts to examine the Shakespearean ‘traces’ present in Keats’ works.

description: Using a panel data set of the 28 EU countries from 1970 to 2015, we study the nature of monetary and fiscal policies of both respective authorities and assess how economic and institutional events influence each authority’s reaction functions. Our results show that, for the all period under analysis and controlling for institutional variables, inflation has a significant impact on monetary policy, and that governments raise their primary balances when facing increases in government debt. We also find a substitution relationship between both policies, whereby the central bank assumes an active role, especially in cases of higher levels of debt. Furthermore, the introduction of a common currency shared by 19 out of 28 EU countries had a structural impact on the response and the interaction between the two policies.

description: Finite mixture models, i.e., mixture models with a fixed number of components, have a long tradition in statistical modeling and are a well-established tool to explore structures in complex data. In scenarios where the number of components is unknown, choosing an appropriate number of components is a crucial modeling decision that can be challenging. In order to formalize this modeling decision in a Bayesian fashion, we investigate the mixture of finite mixtures (MFM) model. The MFM model extends the traditional finite mixture model to a Bayesian mixture model with a random number of components. Using the MFM model, it is possible to group data into meaningful subpopulations and estimate the model parameters without specifying the number of components a priori. We discuss equivalent representations of the MFM model such as the stick-breaking representation and relevant distributions such as the exchangeable partition probability function. For Bayesian inference of the model parameters, we propose a computationally efficient coordinate-ascent variational inference (CAVI) algorithm for MFM models and provide detailed derivations of the corresponding update equations. Subsequently, we focus on mixtures consisting of multivariate Gaussian component distributions with unknown means and known covariance matrices, resulting in a novel CAVI algorithm for the static mixture of finite Gaussian mixtures (MFGM) model. We evaluate the clustering performance of our CAVI algorithm using synthetic data generated according to a finite Gaussian mixture and observe high accuracy for suitably chosen hyperparameters. Furthermore, we apply an existing CAVI algorithm for Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) models, which are frequently used in scenarios with an unknown (but finite) number of components, to our data. A comparison reveals that the proposed CAVI algorithm for static MFGMs outperforms the CAVI algorithm for DPMs, especially for large datasets.

description: Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) have been a controversial topic in recent years: while the scientific community has largely accepted the validity and safety of using this biotechnology in the food industry, public opinion still shows a certain suspicion and fear. The legislator is interested in knowing how public opinion could be engaged and what policy decisions regarding the assessment of the risks and benefits of GM animals and derived products might be addressed. This paper focuses on a Citizens’ Jury event organized in Parma (Italy) in 2012 in the context of the EU project PEGASUS (Public Perception of Genetically modified Animals – Science, Utility and Society, 7th FP). The main goal of the Citizens’ Jury was to address public perspectives and demonstrate ‘best practice’ in public engagement in order to develop future policy recommendations regarding innovation in the area of GM animals. The process, the potential role of citizens’ juries as a technique for engaging with the public about the development and application of Genetically Modified (GM) animals in the food and pharmaceutical industry and significant results are presented here. In particular, two case studies have been presented: growth-enhanced GH transgenic salmon and polyclonal antibodies from transgenic rabbits.

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.

description: Current day large animal facilities generate more manure than they need on their own feed production areas. Excessive nutrient applications deteriorate groundwater (nitrogen) and surface water quality (nitrogen and/or phosphorus). Due to differences in environmental and economic characteristics, adjacent regions may have differing objectives for nitrogen and phosphorus abatement. We postulate an analytical model of upstream agricultural and downstream recreational regions, and analyze optimal policies that consider both regions. We show that depending on the environmental and economic characteristics, tightening upstream regulation with respect to loading of one nutrient only might increase the downstream loading of the other. As the prevailing regulatory tool for livestock production is the Nutrient Management Plan based on nitrogen standard; and because livestock production is the main source of man-made nutrient loads to environment, the model is of high importance. Our model contributes to literature by i) differentiating (the impacts of) manure regulation between the livestock farm and the adjacent crop production farm ii) showing how this differentiation is carried over to relative and absolute amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus loading due to changes in nutrient application and uptake; and due to changes in application areas iii) allowing for regional differences in abatement objectives.

This fully-tunable qubit is manipulated with a high-speed voltage pulse that controls the energy and decoherence of the system. Coherent oscillations of the qubit are observed for several combinations of many-body ground and excited states of the quantum dots. Possible decoherence mechanisms in the present device are also discussed.

description: Aims: Some hypoglycemic therapies are associated with lower risk of cardiovascular outcomes. We investigated the incidence of cardiovascular disease among patients with type 2 diabetes using antidiabetic drugs from three classes, which were sodium–glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is). Materials and methods: We compared the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) among these drugs and developed a machine learning model for predicting MI in patients without prior heart disease. We analyzed US health plan data for patients without prior MI or insulin therapy who were aged ≥40 years at initial prescription and had not received oral antidiabetic drugs for ≥6 months previously. After developing a machine learning model to predict MI, proportional hazards analysis of MI incidence was conducted using the risk obtained with this model and the drug classes as explanatory variables. Results: We analyzed 199,116 patients (mean age: years), comprising 110,278 (58.6) prescribed DPP-4is, 43,538 (55.1) prescribed GLP-1RAs and 45,300 (55.3) prescribed SGLT-2is. Receiver operating characteristics analysis showed higher precision of machine learning over logistic regression analysis. Proportional hazards analysis by machine learning revealed a significantly lower risk of MI with SGLT-2is or GLP-1RAs than DPP-4is (hazard ratio: 0.81, 95% confidence interval: 0.72–0.91, p = .0004 vs. 0.63, 0.56–0.72, p < .0001). MI risk was also significantly lower with GLP-1RAs than SGLT-2is (0.77, 0.66–0.90, p = .001). Limitations: All patients analyzed were covered by US commercial health plans, so information on patients aged ≥65 years was limited and the socioeconomic background may have been biased. Also, the observation period differed among the three classes of drugs due to differing release dates. Conclusions: Machine learning analysis suggested the risk of MI was 37% lower for type 2 diabetes patients without prior MI using GLP-1RAs versus DPP-4is, while the risk was 19% lower for SGLT-2is versus DPP-4is.

description: An adequate understanding of the dynamics that characterize the agri-food market is fundamental for the development of really efficient economic policies, especially after the two recent hikes in the prices of food commodities. The econometric literature provides today advanced analysis tools such as VAR models: these models are based on a system of equations in which each variable is regressed on a set of deterministic variables, on a number of l delays related to each covariate in the model. To test the effectiveness of this analytical tool at dealing with the issues related to agrifood economy we applied a VAR analysis on prices of major food and energy commodities (oil and biodiesel) referred to the period January 2005-December 2012. Our results identified statistically significant intertemporal relationships between the price of corn, soybeans, rapeseed and oil, and suggested the direction of these relationships; we could conclude that the price of corn and soybeans are generated in the energy market only. Moreover, we used as variables the share of commodities used for the production of biofuels, and we could observe that important alterations on the food market are due to the convenience in producing ethanol and biodiesel, since the portion of the crops used for energy is in direct competition with that devoted to the feeding. This kind of models, therefore, deal adequately with datas and issues of the agri-food system and provide an analytical basis to develop economic policies that take into account the complexity of the global food system.

description: The relative amount of high temperature plasma has been found to be a useful diagnostic to determine the frequency of coronal heating on sub-resolution structures. When the loops are infrequently heated, a broad emission measure (EM) over a wider range of temperatures is expected. A narrower EM is expected for high frequency heating where the loops are closer to equilibrium. The soft X-ray spectrum contains many spectral lines that provide high temperature diagnostics, including lines from Fe XVII-XIX. This region of the solar spectrum will be observed by the Marshall Grazing Incidence Spectrometer (MaGIXS) in 2020. In this paper, we derive the expected spectral lines intensity in MaGIXS to varying amounts of high temperature plasma to demonstrate that a simple line ratio of these provides a powerful diagnostic to determine the heating frequency. Similarly, we examine ratios of AIA channel intensities, filter ratios from a XRT, and energy bands from the FOXSI sounding rocket to determine their sensitivity to this parameter. We find that both FOXSI and MaGIXS provide good diagnostic capability for high-temperature plasma. We then compare the predicted line ratios to the output of a numerical model and confirm the MaGIXS ratios provide an excellent diagnostic for heating frequency.

Apart from the phase space measure which is modified due to a change of the Heisenberg uncertainty relations, the presence of an ultraviolet cut-off plays a tremendous role. The theory admits an intrinsic temperature above which the fermion contribution to energy density, pressure and entropy is negligible.

description: This study tests the null hypothesis that it is sufficient to interview only the household head to obtain accurate information on household income. Results show that using a husband’s estimate of his wife’s income does not produce statistically reliable results for poverty analysis. Estimates of the wife’s income provided by the husband and wife are in agreement in only six percent of households. While limiting interviews to one person has the advantage of reducing the time and expense of household surveys, this appears detrimental in terms of accuracy, and may lead to incorrect conclusions on the determinants of poverty.

description: The issue of price transmission along the food chain has attracted considerable interest in the EU because of the welfare and policy implications that could potentially be generated. Price transmission along the food chain is characterized by the speed, the magnitude and the nature of price changes along different segments of the supply chain. Moreover, during the last several years, wheat-pasta chains have been affected by CAP reforms in the durum wheat sector that have progressively reduced government intervention in the market. Specifically, the 2003 reform represented a deep change in the tools applied in the CAP, with a turn from coupled income support to a single decoupled aid where farmers’ incomes are directly supported and are no longer linked to levels or types of production. For the present study, we are particularly interested in examining whether and how CAP reform has altered price transmission in the Italian wheat-pasta chain, from farmer to retailer, including the wholesale stage. We employ Kinnucan and Forker model which has provided a convenient instrument for analyzing the impact of policy intervention and adapted its structure to the characteristics and the composition of the pasta supply chain by introducing an intermediate level (wholesale price), represented by semolina producers. Price data are available monthly from January 2000 to April 2011 for Italy. The results suggest that pricing behavior has changed after CAP Reform introduction.

description: Aims: Some hypoglycemic therapies were associated with lower risk of cardiovascular outcomes. We investigated the incidence of cardiovascular disease among patients with type 2 diabetes using antidiabetic drugs from three classes, which were sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is). Materials and methods: We compared the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) among these drugs and developed a machine learning model for predicting MI in patients without prior heart disease. We analyzed US health plan data for patients without prior MI or insulin therapy who were aged ≥40 years at initial prescription and had not received oral antidiabetic drugs for ≥6 months previously. After developing a machine learning model to predict MI, proportional hazards analysis of MI incidence was conducted using the risk obtained with this model and the drug classes as explanatory variables. Results: We analyzed 199,116 patients (mean age: years), comprising 110,278 (58.6) prescribed DPP-4is, 43,538 (55.1) prescribed GLP-1RAs, and 45,300 (55.3) prescribed SGLT-2is. Receiver operating characteristics analysis showed higher precision of machine learning over logistic regression analysis. Proportional hazards analysis by machine learning revealed a significantly lower risk of MI with SGLT-2is or GLP-1RAs than DPP-4is (hazard ratio: 0.81, 95% confidence interval: 0.72-0.91, p = 0.0004 vs. 0.63, 0.56-0.72, p Limitations: All patients analyzed were covered by US commercial health plans, so information on patients aged ≥65 years was limited and the socioeconomic background may have been biased. Also, the observation period differed among the three classes of drugs due to differing release dates. Conclusions: Machine learning analysis suggested the risk of MI was 37% lower for type 2 diabetes patients without prior MI using GLP-1RAs versus DPP-4is, while the risk was 19% lower for SGLT-2is versus DPP-4is.

description: In this paper, we empirically examine the relationship between food safety TPC on a country’s food exports to the United States using data for 2010. We developed a modified gravity model to account for the role TPC plays in facilitating international food trade. we found that a 10% increase in the number of sites/facilities certified to ISO 22000, GLOBALGAP, and BRC is associated with an increase of a country’s food exports to the United States in the ranges of 0 to 6.7%, 1.6 to 2.2%, and 2 to 3.3%, respectively. For the case of China, we found that each additional ISO, GLOBALGAP, and BRC certification in China can increase China’s exports to the United States up to $472,562, $2,907,451, and $1,927,383, respectively.

description: Nonlinear oscillations of a 3D radial symmetric Bose-Einstein condensate under periodic variation in time of the atomic scattering length have been studied analytically and numerically. The time-dependent variational approach is used for the analysis of the characteristics of nonlinear resonances in the oscillations of the condensate. The bistability in oscillations of the BEC width is invistigated. The dependence of the BEC collapse threshold on the drive amplitude and parameters of the condensate and trap is found. Predictions of the theory are confirmed by numerical simulations of the full Gross-Pitaevski equation.

description: We homogeneously analyse $\sim 3.2\times 10^5$ photometric measurements for $\sim 1100$ transit lightcurves belonging to $17$ exoplanet hosts. The photometric data cover $16$ years 2004--2019 and include amateur and professional observations. Old archival lightcurves were reprocessed using up-to-date exoplanetary parameters and empirically debiased limb-darkening models. We also derive self-consistent transit and radial-velocity fits for $13$ targets. We confirm the nonlinear TTV trend in the WASP-12 data at a high significance, and with a consistent magnitude. However, Doppler data reveal hints of a radial acceleration about $(-7.5\pm 2.2)$~m/s/yr, indicating the presence of unseen distant companions, and suggesting that roughly $10$ per cent of the observed TTV was induced via the light-travel (or Roemer) effect. For WASP-4, a similar TTV trend suspected after the recent TESS observations appears controversial and model-dependent. It is not supported by our homogeneus TTV sample, including $10$ ground-based EXPANSION lightcurves obtained in 2018 simultaneously with TESS. Even if the TTV trend itself does exist in WASP-4, its magnitude and tidal nature are uncertain. Doppler data cannot entirely rule out the Roemer effect induced by possible distant companions.

description: We present the first crossed beam scattering experiment using a Zeeman decelerated molecular beam. The narrow velocity spreads of Zeeman decelerated NO ($X ^2Π_{3/2}, j=3/2$) radicals result in high-resolution scattering images, thereby fully resolving quantum diffraction oscillations in the angular scattering distribution for inelastic NO-Ne collisions, and product-pair correlations in the radial scattering distribution for inelastic NO-O$_2$ collisions. These measurements demonstrate similar resolution and sensitivity as in experiments using Stark decelerators, opening up possibilities for controlled and low-energy scattering experiments using chemically relevant species such as H and O atoms, O$_2$ molecules or NH radicals.

description: Multilayer networked systems are ubiquitous in nature and engineering, and the robustness of these systems against failures is of great interest. A main line of theoretical pursuit has been percolation induced cascading failures, where interdependence between network layers is conveniently and tacitly assumed to be symmetric. In the real world, interdependent interactions are generally asymmetric. To uncover and quantify the impact of asymmetry in interdependence on network robustness, we focus on percolation dynamics in double-layer systems and implement the following failure mechanism: once a node in a network layer fails, the damage it can cause depends not only on its position in the layer but also on the position of its counterpart neighbor in the other layer. We find that the characteristics of the percolation transition depend on the degree of asymmetry, where the striking phenomenon of a switch in the nature of the phase transition from first- to second-order arises. We derive a theory to calculate the percolation transition points in both network layers, as well as the transition switching point, with strong numerical support from synthetic and empirical networks. Not only does our work shed light upon the factors that determine the robustness of multilayer networks against cascading failures, but it also provides a scenario by which the system can be designed or controlled to reach a desirable level of resilience.

description: Due to the increased share of food consumption away from (FAFH) on overall household food expenditure, a considerable body of literature has examined the impacts of FAFH on diet quality and physical health. A conventional wisdom is that FAFH is associated with poor diet quality, and it also increases the likelihood of being overweight. However, not much attention has been paid to the association between FAFH and mental health of the individual. Since mental health is as important as physical health, a better understanding of the effect of FAFH on mental health is crucial for policy making. This study contributes to this knowledge gap by assessing the causal effect of FAFH on elderly depression using a national representative dataset of elderly in Taiwan. Results indicate that elderly who consumed food away from home is more likely to be depressed by 34% compared to their counterparts of FAFH non-participants, after controlling for socio-demographic characteristics and other factors.

description: Biosensing based on whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators has been continuously studied with great attention due to its excellent sensitivity guaranteeing the label-free detection. However, its practical impact is insignificant to date despite notable achievements in academic research. Here, we demonstrate a novel practical platform of on-chip WGM sensors integrated with microfluidic channels. By placing silicon nanoclusters as a stable active compound in micro-resonators, the sensor chip can be operated with a remote pump and readout, which simplifies the chip integration and connection to the external setup. In addition, silicon nanoclusters having large absorption cross-section over broad wavelength range allow active sensing for the first time with an LED pump in a top-illumination scheme which significantly reduces the complexity and cost of the measurement setup. The nano-slot structure of 25 nm gap width is embedded in the resonator where the target bio-molecules are selectively detected with the sensitivity enhanced by strongly confined mode-field. The sensitivity confirmed by real-time measurements for the streptavidin-biotin complex is 0.012 nm/nM, improved over 20 times larger than the previously reported WGM sensors with remote readout.

description: Economic data with substantial seasonality are likely to have unit roots in more than one frequency. Using non-alcoholic beverage expenditure data from the United Kingdom, we empirically show that the absence of unit roots in one frequency (e.g. monthly) does not imply the absence of unit roots in some other frequencies (e.g. quarterly, bi-annually, and annually). Given the evidence of seasonal unit roots, we estimated one static and three dynamic quadratic almost ideal demand system (QUAIDS) specifications. We found that the seasonal-habit QUAIDS outperforms the static, myopic-habit and rational-habit specifications. Additionally, we show that taking into account seasonal habits helps correct autocorrelation in residuals. Simply put, given the presence of seasonal unit roots, lagged seasonal terms can be a useful simple tool for practitioners modeling expenditure data using demand systems.
