description: We compute families of spherically symmetric neutron-star models in two-derivative scalar-tensor theories of gravity with a massive scalar field. The numerical approach we present allows us to compute the resulting spacetimes out to infinite radius using a relaxation algorithm on a compactified grid. We discuss the structure of the weakly and strongly scalarized branches of neutron-star models thus obtained and their dependence on the linear and quadratic coupling parameters α0, β0 between the scalar and tensor sectors of the theory, as well as the scalar mass μ. For highly negative values of β0, we encounter configurations resembling a “gravitational atom”, consisting of a highly compact baryon star surrounded by a scalar cloud. A stability analysis based on binding-energy calculations suggests that these configurations are unstable and we expect them to migrate to models with radially decreasing baryon density and scalar field strength.

description: The stopping of baryons in heavy ion collisions at beam momenta of $p_{\rm lab} = 20-160A$ GeV is lacking a quantitative description within theoretical calculations. Heavy ion reactions at these energies are experimentally explored at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and will be studied at future facilities such as FAIR and NICA. Since the net baryon density is determined by the amount of stopping, this is the pre-requisiste for any investigation of other observables related to structures in the QCD phase diagram such as a first-order phase transition or a critical endpoint. In this work we employ a string model for treating hadron-hadron interactions within a hadronic transport approach (SMASH, Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly-interacting Hadrons). Free parameters of the string excitation and decay are tuned to match experimental measurements in elementary proton-proton collisions, where some mismatch in the $x_F$ distribution of protons is still present. Afterwards, the model is applied to heavy ion collisions, where the experimentally observed change of the shape of the proton rapidity spectrum from a single peak structure to a double peak structure with increasing beam energy is reproduced. Heavy ion collisions provide the opportunity to study the formation process of string fragments in terms of formation times and reduced interaction cross-sections for pre-formed hadrons. A good agreement with the measured rapidity spectra of protons and pions is achieved while insights on the fragmentation process are obtained. In the future, the presented approach can be used to create event-by-event initial conditions for hybrid calculations.

description: Abstract: Background: Short tandem repeats (STRs) contribute significantly to de novo mutagenesis, driving phenotypic diversity and genetic disease. Although highly diverse, their repetitive sequences induce DNA polymerase slippage and stalling, leading to length and sequence variation. However, current studies of DNA synthesis through STRs are restricted to a handful of selected sequences, limiting our broader understanding of their evolutionary behaviour and hampering the characterisation of the determinants of their abundance and stability in eukaryotic genomes. Results: We perform a comprehensive analysis of DNA synthesis at all STR permutations and interrogate the impact of STR sequence and secondary structure on their genomic representation and mutability. To do this, we developed a high-throughput primer extension assay that allows monitoring of the kinetics and fidelity of DNA synthesis through 20,000 sequences comprising all STR permutations in different lengths. By combining these measurements with population-scale genomic data, we show that the response of a model replicative DNA polymerase to variously structured DNA is sufficient to predict the complex genomic behaviour of STRs, including abundance and mutational constraints. We demonstrate that DNA polymerase stalling at DNA structures induces error-prone DNA synthesis, which constrains STR expansion. Conclusions: Our data support a model in which STR length in eukaryotic genomes results from a balance between expansion due to polymerase slippage at repeated DNA sequences and point mutations caused by error-prone DNA synthesis at DNA structures.

description: The use of chemical insecticides in the control of insect pests has left in its wake resistance of some pests to some of the conventional insecticides. Alternative methods of managing pests such as cultural control have to be employed to reduce pest infestation of crops. Onion was used in an intercrop as a non host crop to manage the pests of cabbage. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four treatments; sole cabbage (T1), 2 rows of cabbage to 1 row of onion (T2), 3 rows of cabbage to 1 row of onion (T3) and 4 rows of cabbage to 1 row of onion (T4), each of which was replicated three times. Data were collected on pests’ numbers, plant height, damaged leaves at harvest, canopy spread, number of damaged heads and fresh weight. Significantly fewer Bemisia tabaci, Hellula undalis and Brevicoryne brassicae infested the intercropped plants than the sole crop. However, intercropping cabbage with onion did not significantly reduce Plutella xylostella population on cabbage. Number of damaged heads, fresh weight and damaged leaves were significantly different (P< 0.05).

description: Classical BRST invariance in the pure spinor formalism for the open superstring is shown to imply the supersymmetric Born-Infeld equations of motion for the background fields. These equations are obtained by requiring that the left and right-moving BRST currents are equal on the worldsheet boundary in the presence of the background. The Born-Infeld equations are expressed in N=1 D=10 superspace and include all abelian contributions to the low-energy equations of motion, as well as the leading non-abelian contributions.

description: Nanofiber membranes for chiral separation were prepared from chitin, which is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide. The membrane showed chiral separation ability by adopting concentration gradient as a driving force for membrane transport. In other words, the chitin nanofiber membrane selectively transported the D-isomer of glutamic acid (Glu), phenylalanine (Phe), and lysine (Lys) from the corresponding racemic amino acid mixtures.

description: Geosynthetic reinforced piled embankments (GRPE’s) have become an increasingly popular means of constructing on unsuitable foundation soils. However the design of GRPE’s is extremely complex and relies on determining the magnitude of arching in the embankment fill and the tension in a geosynthetic reinforcement layer at the base of the embankment. Several design methods are available for estimating the magnitude of arching and the tension in the geosynthetic reinforcement. Naughton (2007) showed that the magnitude of arching and therefore the tension in the geosynthetic reinforcement can be estimated based on the concept of critical height. The critical height is a function of the frictional characteristics of the embankment fill and pile-pile cap spacing at the base of the embankment. An instrumented laboratory 1:3 scaled model of typical piled embankment geometries was used to investigate the influence of the embankment fill material properties on the location the critical height. Three sand types with different strength and gradation characteristics were examined. The model was used to quantify the unrestrained arching in the model embankment. The influence of the angle of internal friction on the location of the critical height was investigated and the critical height was found to increase as the angle of internal friction increased. It was observed that when the peak angle of friction was used in the method suggested by Naughton (2007) that good agreement was found with the experimental data.

description: An improved formula is proposed for field ionization rate covering tunnel and barrier suppression regime. In contrast to the previous formula obtained recently in [I. Yu. Kostyukov and A. A. Golovanov, Phys. Rev. A 98, 043407 (2018)], it more accurately describes the transitional regime (between the tunnel regime and the barrier suppression regime). In the proposed approximation, the rate is mainly governed by two parameters: by the atom ionization potentials and by the external electric field, which makes it perfectly suitable for particle-in-cell (PIC) codes dedicated to modeling of intense laser-matter interactions.

description: Compared to other groups of organisms, plants require distinctive approaches in their conservation because of their keystone roles in ecosystems and economies. The state of the whole plant cover of the Earth should be of concern to conservationists – for its capacity to ensure the survival of plant species, deliver ecosystem services (locally to globally) and provide produce from plants in ecologically sustainable ways. The primary targets of attention in ecosystem-based plant conservation are the relationships between people and plants, as relevant to every locality, rather than the species-centric approach of conventional plant conservation. Moving plant conservation to an ecosystem-based approach will require the development of training programmes for field practitioners and of information systems for their use.

description: Knowledge transfers from the public to the private sector about the substance and necessity of regulatory rules are critical for effective regulatory compliance. With groups of professionals that share specialized training the overall problems are minimized. Yet what happens when regulators contend with non-professionals? Using a case of forestry policy in Washington State we find that professional-to-professional exchanges are relatively effective, but that non-professional forest owners were less responsive, which reduced the effectiveness of the knowledge transfer and program compliance. We also find that one way to overcome this implementation barrier is to have regulators use an adult-based learning method.

description: Field experiments were carried out during the rainy seasons of 2008 and 2009 at the teaching and research farm of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Lafia campus in the southern Guinea savanna agro-ecological zone of Nigeria to assess the effects of poultry manure, cow manure and sheep manure on the performance of sesame crop. Manure application was found to have significantly increased both yield and yield attributes of sesame compared with non application at all. Application of 2.5 t ha-1 of poultry manure produced the highest value for all the yield attributes measured. The seed yield per hectare in both years were also optimized with the application of 2.5 t ha-1 of poultry manure (1914.07 and 1933.20 kg ha-1 in 2008 and 2009 respectively) compared with any other applied rates of sheep and cow manure and is therefore recommended.

description: The new insecticide broflanilide, which possesses high insecticidal activity against agricultural pests, acts on the γ-aminobutyric acid receptor in the insect nervous system. At present, few studies assessed its effect on the nervous system of zebrafish, especially its sub-chronic toxicity on the zebrafish brain. In this study, the sub-chronic toxicity of broflanilide on the zebrafish brain was assessed. After 21 days of exposure at 36.3 μg/L, broflanilide caused oxidative damage to the zebrafish brain, increased the levels of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, and inhibited the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. Overall, these changes result in brain cell apoptosis, and inhibited growth and development. Moreover, broflanilide affects the release of acetylcholinesterase, γ-aminobutyric acid, 5-hydroxy tryptamine, and dopamine as well as the expression of related genes in the brain, leading to abnormal zebrafish behaviour. These results corroborate the sub-chronic toxicity of broflanilide on zebrafish brain, which helps the further understanding of the potential environmental risk of broflanilide.

description: We present data of 10 penumbral microjets (PMJs) observed in Hα, Ca II 8542 Å, and Fe I 6302 Åline pair with the Swedish 1 m Solar Telescope (SST) with CRISP and Ca II K with SST/CHROMIS in active region NOAA 12599 on the 12th October 2016 at μ=0.68. All four Stokes parameters of the Ca II 8542 Åand Fe I 6302 Ålines were observed and a series of test pixels was inverted using the Stockholm inversion code. Our analysis revealed for the first time that PMJs are visible in Hα, where they appear as dark features with average line-of-sight (LOS) upflows of 1.1\pm0.6 km/s, matching the LOS velocities from the inversions. Based on the Hαobservations we extend the previous average length and lifetime of PMJs to 2815\pm530 km and 163\pm25 s, respectively. The plane-of-sky (POS) velocities of our PMJs of up to 17 km/s tend to give increased velocities with distance travelled. Furthermore, two of our PMJs with significant Stokes V signal indicate that the PMJs possess an increased LOS magnetic field of up to 100 G compared to the local pre-/post- PMJ magnetic field, which propagates as quickly as the PMJs' POS velocities. Finally, we present evidence that PMJs display an on average 1 minute gradual precursory brightening that only manifests itself in the cores of the Ca II lines. We conclude that PMJs are not ordinary jets but likely are manifestations of heat fronts that propagate at the local Alfven velocity.

description: The forestry-livestock waste materials represent a serious ecological problem if they are not handled properly in agricultural activities. Vermicomposting is a biotechnological process with potential to transform such materials into products that can be safely used as soil enhancers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional characteristics of organic fertilizers obtained from forestry-livestock organic waste materials when they are processed through vermicomposting using “Red Californian Earthworm” (Eisenia fetida). A completely randomized experimental design with four treatments and eight replicates was performed. Treatments (mixtures) included: leaf litter + sawdust (LS), bovine manure + sawdust (BS), rabbit manure + sawdust (RS), and ovine manure + sawdust (OS). Total nitrogen, pH, carbon/nitrogen ratio, organic carbon and nitrates from vermicompost samples were measured and statistically analyzed using SAS v8.2. At the end of the study, all mixtures showed similar characteristics according to the analyzed variables. Carbon/nitrogen ratios decreased in three mixtures to values considered as within the vermicompost maturity stage. Contents of nitrates and total nitrogen were increased. Final pH showed statistical difference among all mixtures. Results indicate that vermicomposting is a viable process for recycling forestry-livestock organic waste materials since it improves their chemical and nutritional characteristics.

description: The Garhwal Himalaya represents a traditional agricultural society where more than 74% population largely depends on the cultivation of subsistence cereal crops to run their livelihood. Over the time, with the increase in human population and decrease in per capita land, the traditional subsistence agriculture could not fulfill food requirement. This was resulted in food insecurity and thus agricultural diversification began with the cultivation of cash crops - fruits, off-season vegetables and also of medicinal plants. Although, agro-ecological condition favours diversification of crops and agro-biodiversity is very high in the Garhwal region, the pace of diversifying cash crops for commercialization is tremendously low. Diversity in crops varies spatially - horizontal and vertical and temporally - rabi and kharif seasons. The highlands characterize high agro-biodiversity in comparison to the mid-slopes and the valley regions. Crop diversification index (CDI) of cereals and cash crops was calculated separately from the secondary dada. A case study of six villages was done to calculate cost-benefit analysis of cereals and cash crops. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of diversification – cereals as well as cash crops for livelihood sustainability in the Garhwal Himalaya

description: We are concerned with the mathematical modeling of the polarization process in ferroelectric media. We assume that this dissipative process is governed by two constitutive functions, which are the free energy function and the dissipation function. The dissipation function, which is closely connected to the dissipated energy, is usually non-differentiable. Thus, a minimization condition for the overall energy includes the subdifferential of the dissipation function. This condition can also be formulated by way of a variational inequality in the unknown fields strain, dielectric displacement, remanent polarization and remanent strain. We analyze the mathematical well-posedness of this problem. We provide an existence and uniqueness result for the time-discrete update equation. Under stronger assumptions, we can prove existence of a solution to the time-dependent variational inequality. To solve the discretized variational inequality, we use mixed finite elements, where mechanical displacement and dielectric displacement are unknowns, as well as polarization (and, if included in the model, remanent strain). It is then possible to satisfy Gauss' law of zero free charges exactly. We propose to regularize the dissipation function and solve for all unknowns at once in a single Newton iteration. We present numerical examples gained in the open source software package Netgen/NGSolve.

description: We present a new analysis of the E772 and E866 experiments on the nuclear dependence of Drell-Yan (DY) lepton pair production resulting from the bombardment of $^2H$, Be, C, Ca, Fe, and W targets by 800 GeV/c protons at Fermilab. We employ a light-cone formulation of the DY reaction in the rest frame of the nucleus, where the dimuons detected at small values of Bjorken x_2 << 1 may be considered to originate from the decay of a heavy photon radiated from an incident quark in a bremsstrahlung process. We infer the energy loss of the quark by examining the suppression of the nuclear-dependent DY ratios seen as a function of projectile momentum fraction x_1 and dimuon mass M. Shadowing, which also leads to nuclear suppression of dimuons, is calculated within the same approach employing the results of phenomenological fits to deep inelastic scattering data from HERA. The analysis yields -dE/dz =2.73 +/- 0.37 +/- 0.5 GeV/fm for the rate of quark energy loss per unit path length, a value consistent with theoretical expectations including the effects of the inelastic interaction of the incident proton at the surface of the nucleus. This is the first observation of a nonzero energy loss effect in such experiments.

description: Pacing (Costus speciosus) is an herbaceous plant that is native to Indonesia and it can be used as a male contraceptive due to spermatogenesis inhibition. The purpose of this study is to find out the composition of optimum Avicel PH 200® as the filler-binder and amylum as the disintegration agent and to find out the variations on physical properties of the powder and tablet. Tablets of Costus speciosus extract (CS tablet) were produced by direct compression in 8 runs based on Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) from Design Expert 7.1.5. Evaluation on physical properties of powder included tapping index, water absorption, and moisture content, while evaluation on the physical properties of tablet included hardness, friability, and disintegration time. The results showed that the variation in the composition between Avicel® PH 200 as the filler-binder and amylum as the disintegration agent had a significant effect on the friability of CS tablet, in which the combination of both materials can increase the friability of the tablet. The optimum formula of CS tablet had a composition of Avicel® PH 200 by 462.5mg and amylum by 37.5mg contained in each tablet.

description: Abstract: Our understanding of how global climatic changes are translated into ice-sheet fluctuations and sea-level change is currently limited by a lack of knowledge of the configuration of ice sheets prior to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Here, we compile a synthesis of empirical data and numerical modelling results related to pre-LGM ice sheets to produce new hypotheses regarding their extent in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) at 17 time-slices that span the Quaternary. Our reconstructions illustrate pronounced ice-sheet asymmetry within the last glacial cycle and significant variations in ice-marginal positions between older glacial cycles. We find support for a significant reduction in the extent of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) during MIS 3, implying that global sea levels may have been 30–40 m higher than most previous estimates. Our ice-sheet reconstructions illustrate the current state-of-the-art knowledge of pre-LGM ice sheets and provide a conceptual framework to interpret NH landscape evolution.

 Perilitus brevipes Wesmael, 1835: 33 Lectotype ♂, Belgium: Brussels, coll. Wesmael (IRSNB, Brussels), Synonymized with albicornis Ruthe by Marshall, 1887:110.
 Meteorus albicornis Ruthe, 1862:34. lectotype ♀, Germany: Ruthe coll. (BMNH, London). Synonymized with consimilis by Thomson, 1895:2160 —examined
 Diagnosis: The only species that could be confused with this species is M. abdominator. A good separating character is the length of the malar space (almost two times basal breadth of mandible in M. consimilis, at most as long as basal breadth of mandible in M. abdominator. The length and shape of the ovipositor also differ between these species. The ovipositor of M. consimilis is thick, distinctly down-curved and short (equal in length to petiolar tergum), while M. abdominator has a thin and long (2.0–2.5 times length of petiolar tergum), and only slightly down-curved ovipositor.
 Studied material: ~ 60 specimens.
 Description: Size about 3–4mm. Antennae 32–33 articles; basally whitish. Head strongly contracted behind eyes. Ocelli large, OOL=1.5. Eyes small, not convergent. Malar space long, almost twice basal breadth of mandible. Clypeus strongly protuberant. Tentorial pits deep. Mandibles slender; strongly twisted. Precoxal sulcus deep, broad, reticulate-rugose. Propodeum strongly reticulate-rugose. Petiolar tergum short, wide, with distinct dorsal pits. Ovipositor short, at most equal in length to petiolar tergum; thick down-curved. Wings infumate and short. Colour dark. ♂ antennae 32–36 articles with no pale band.
 Distribution: Western Palearctic. Country records: Belgium; Croatia; Denmark; Finland; France; Germany; Hungary; Ireland; Latvia; Netherlands; Poland; Romania; Slovenia; Sweden; Switzerland; Turkey; Turkmenistan; Ukraine; United Kingdom; Yugoslavia.
 Biology: Meteorus consimilis is recorded as a parasitoid of Scolytus multistriatus (Yu et al. 2005). We found 58 specimens within the SMTP; they were caught in both deciduous and coniferous forests. Flying time is from middle of July to end of October.

Shear-Driven Flow of Athermal, Frictionless, Spherocylinder Suspensions in Two Dimensions: Particle Rotations and Orientational Ordering

description: We use numerical simulations to study the flow of a bidisperse mixture of athermal, frictionless, soft-core two dimensional spherocylinders driven by a uniform steady-state simple shear applied at a fixed volume and a fixed finite strain rate $\dotγ$. Energy dissipation is via a viscous drag with respect to a uniformly sheared host fluid, giving a simple model for flow in a non-Brownian suspension with Newtonian rheology. Considering a range of packing fractions $ϕ$ and particle asphericities $α$ at small $\dotγ$, we study the angular rotation $\dotθ_i$ and the nematic orientational ordering $\mathbf{S}_2$ of the particles induced by the shear flow, finding a non-monotonic behavior as the packing $ϕ$ is varied. We interpret this non-monotonic behavior as a crossover from a small $ϕ$ region where single-particle-like behavior occurs, to a large $ϕ$ region where the geometry of the dense packing dominates, the reduced free volume inhibits motion, and a random Poisson-like process for particle rotations results. We also argue that the finite nematic ordering $\mathbf{S}_2$ is a consequence of the shearing serving as an ordering field, rather than a result of long-ranged cooperative behavior among the particles. We arrive at these conclusions by consideration of (i) the distribution of waiting times for a particle to rotate by $π$, (ii) the behavior of the system under pure, as compared to simple, shearing, (iii) the relaxation of the nematic order parameter $\mathbf{S}_2$ when perturbed away from the steady state, and (iv) by construction a numerical mean-field model for the rotational motion of a particle. Our results also help to explain the singular behavior observed when taking the $α\to 0$ limit approaching circular disks.

description: The results of this research program on the effectiveness of a new geosynthetic combined drainage and reinforcement in a geogrid are presented. Dissipation tests in English China Clay show that initial excess pore water pressures of 50 and 100kPa can both b dissipated to 20% of their initial values in 36 to 42 hours. Pullout test in English China Clay show that the new geosynthetic can improve the soil reinforcement bond after only partial dissipation of excess pore water pressure. After full dissipation the pullout resistance at small displacements can increase by as much as 500% when compared with a conventional geogrid of similar construction but with no drainage component.

description: We have monitored nearly a square degree in IC 1396A/Tr 37 over 21 epochs extending over 2014 - 2016 for sources variable in the JHK bands. In our data, 65 +\- 8 % of previously identified cluster members show variations, compared with < 0.3% of field stars. We identify 119 members of Tr 37 on the basis of variability, forming an unbiased sample down to the brown dwarf regime. The K-band luminosity function in Tr 37 is similar to that of IC 348 but shifted to somewhat brighter values, implying that the K- and M-type members of Tr 37 are younger than those in IC 348. We introduce methods to classify the causes of variability, based on behavior in the color-color and color-magnitude diagrams. Accretion hot spots cause larger variations at J than at K with substantial scatter in the diagrams; there are at least a dozen, with the most active resembling EXors. Eleven sources are probably dominated by intervention of dust clumps in their circumstellar disks with color behavior indicating the presence of grains larger than for interstellar dust, presumably due to grain growth in their disks. Thirteen sources have larger variations at K than at J or H. For 11 of them, the temperature fitted to the variable component is very close to 2000K, suggesting that the changes in output are caused by turbulence at the inner rim of the circumstellar disk exposing previously protected populations of grains.

description: We discuss training techniques, objectives and metrics toward personalization of deep learning models. In machine learning, personalization addresses the goal of a trained model to target a particular individual by optimizing one or more performance metrics, while conforming to certain constraints. To personalize, we investigate three methods of ``curriculum learning`` and two approaches for data grouping, i.e., augmenting the data of an individual by adding similar data identified with an auto-encoder. We show that both ``curriculuum learning'' and ``personalized'' data augmentation lead to improved performance on data of an individual. Mostly, this comes at the cost of reduced performance on a more general, broader dataset.
The use of hydroxyapatite bone substitute grafting for alveolar ridge preservation, sinus augmentation, and periodontal bone defect: A systematic review

description: We determined and structurally analyzed the reported effect of hydroxyapatite (HA) bone substitute on alveolar bone regeneration. To the best of our knowledge, no systematic reviews have previously reported the bone regenerative effect of the HA bone substitute. A literature search was performed for articles published up to August 2015 using MEDLINE with the search terms “hydroxyapatite,” “bone regeneration,” and “alveolar bone” as well as their known synonyms. The inclusion criteria were set up for human trials with at least five patients. The literature search, eligible article selection, and data extraction were independently
performed by two readers, and their agreement was reported by k value. Of the 504 studies found using the MEDLINE literature search, 241 were included for further steps (inter-reader agreement, k ¼ 0.968). Abstract screening yielded 74 studies (k ¼ 0.910), with 42 completely fulfilling the inclusion criteria (k ¼ 0.864). In a final step, 42 studies were further analyzed, with 17 and 25 studies with and without statistical analysis, respectively. The 17 studies reporting similar outcome measures were compared using the calculated 95% confidence intervals. The effect of HA on ridge preservation could not be evaluated. The use of the HA bone substitute interfered with the normal healing process, with significant differences found for sinus augmentation but not for periodontal bone defects. Thus, a bone substitute with optimal bone regenerative
properties for alveolar ridge or socket preservation, sinus augmentation, and periodontal bony defect should be developed.
