description: Understanding the factors governing grassland biodiversity across different spatial scales is crucial for effective conservation and management. However, most studies focus on single grain sizes, leaving the scale-dependent mechanisms of biodiversity drivers unclear. We investigated how climate, soil properties, abiotic disturbance, and land use influence plant diversity across two fine spatial scales in various grassland types in Ukraine. Using spatially explicit data on plant species presence and their cover, collected at smaller (10 m2) and larger (100 m2) grain sizes, we assessed spatial β-diversity—the variability of biodiversity between scales. We analyzed whether the effects of ecological drivers on β-diversity are mediated by changes in species evenness, density (total cover), and intraspecific aggregation in plant community. In our study, the most influential factors of local plant diversity at both grain sizes were climate variables, followed by soil humus content, litter cover, and soil pH. Soil and litter effects were primarily driven by the response of locally rare species, while climate and grazing effects were driven by locally common species. The strength of most of these effects varied between spatial scales, affecting β-diversity. Soil properties influenced β-diversity through changes in total plant community cover, while the effects of climate and litter operated via changes in species evenness and aggregation. Our findings highlight that biodiversity responses to climate, soil factors, and litter depend on the size of the sampled area and reveal the role of total plant cover, evenness, and aggregation in driving fine-scale β-diversity in grasslands across different habitat types.

description: The spectrum of hadrons is important for understanding the confinement of quantum chromodynamics. Many new puzzles arose since 2003 due to the abundance of experimental discoveries with the $XYZ$ structures in the heavy quarkonium mass region being the outstanding examples. Hadronic resonances correspond to poles of the $S$-matrix, which has other types of singularities such as the triangle singularity due to the simultaneous on-shellness of three intermediate particles. Here we briefly discuss a few possible manifestations of triangle singularities in the $XYZ$ physics, paying particular attention to the formalism that can be used to analyze the data for charged $Z_c$ structures in the $ψπ$ distributions of the reaction $e^+e^-\to ψπ^+π^-$.

ARPES kink is a "smoking gun" for the theory of high-Tc superconductors: dominance of the electron-phonon interaction with forward scattering peak

description: The ARPES spectra in high-Tc superconductors show four distinctive features in the quasiparticle self-energy. All of them can be explained consistently by the theory in which the electron phonon interaction (EPI) with the forward scattering peak dominates over the Coulomb scattering. In particular, this theory explains why there is no shift of the nodal kink at 70 meV in the superconducting state, contrary to the clear shift of the anti-nodal singularity at 40 meV. The theory predicts a ``knee''-like structure of the imaginary part of the self-energy, which is phonon dominated for $ω\approx ω^{(70)}_{ph}$, and shows linear behavior for $ω> ω^{(70)}_{ph}$ - due to the Coulomb scattering. Recent ARPES spectra give that the EPI coupling constant is much larger than the Coulomb one. The dip-hump structure in the spectral function comes out naturally from the proposed theory.

Some encouraging and some cautionary remarks on Doubly Special Relativity in Quantum Gravity

description: The idea of a role for DSR (doubly-special relativity) in quantum gravity finds some encouragement in a few scenarios, but in order to explore some key conceptual issues it is necessary to find a well-understood toy-quantum-gravity model that is fully compatible with the DSR principles. Perhaps the most significant source of encouragement comes from the recent proposal of a path for the emergence of DSR in Loop Quantum Gravity, which however relies on a few assumptions on the results of some computations that we are still unable to perform. Indications in favor of the possibility of using some elements of $κ$-Poincaré Hopf algebras (and of the related $κ$-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime) for the construction of a DSR theory have been discussed extensively, but a few stubborn open issues must still be resolved, especially in the two-particle sector. It has been recently observed that certain structures encountered in a formulation of 2+1-dimensional classical-gravity models would fit naturally in a DSR framework, but some key elements of these 2+1-dimensional models, including the description of observers, might be incompatible with the DSR principles.

description: Facial expression synthesis or editing has recently received increasing attention in the field of affective computing and facial expression modeling. However, most existing facial expression synthesis works are limited in paired training data, low resolution, identity information damaging, and so on. To address those limitations, this paper introduces a novel Action Unit (AU) level facial expression synthesis method called Local Attentive Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (LAC-GAN) based on face action units annotations. Given desired AU labels, LAC-GAN utilizes local AU regional rules to control the status of each AU and attentive mechanism to combine several of them into the whole photo-realistic facial expressions or arbitrary facial expressions. In addition, unpaired training data is utilized in our proposed method to train the manipulation module with the corresponding AU labels, which learns a mapping between a facial expression manifold. Extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations are conducted on the commonly used BP4D dataset to verify the effectiveness of our proposed AU synthesis method.

description: To investigate the possibilities of establishing a representative sample of farms, using a system of data collection wherein farmers would report monthly their farm business expenses and receipts over a 12-month period, the U.S. Department of Agriculture entered into a cooperative agreement with Michigan State University in 1956. The Cooperative Extension Service had already established a farm record-keeping project wherein volunteer Michigan farmers submitted monthly financial reports to the Agricultural Economics Department of the University, which in turn processed the data currently using punched card equipment. The general success of this project and the need for current and accurate farm data by Government agencies led to the decision that such a system be offered to a group of farms selected on a probability basis. The study reported in this article was concerned more with the technical problems involved in establishing and maintaining a representative sample reporting certain data monthly than it was with the data so collected. If the technical problems could be economically surmounted, further consideration could be given to establishing such a system over a wider area—or an entire State or region, or even nationally. In this paper, the author describes the method of data collection used and the type of information obtained, discusses the problems of establishing and maintaining the sample, and evaluates the system in terms of one year of experience and its future potentialities. This paper is approved for publication as Journal Article No. 2444 of the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station. The assistance of Olan, D. Forker, graduate assistant to the author, Nathan M.

description: We analyze a 137 ks exposure X-ray spectrum of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 obtained with the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer. Due to the long exposure time, the spectrum is of higher statistical quality than the previous observations of this AGN. Therefore, we detect for the first time in NGC 5548 inner-shell transitions from O III to O VI ions, and the Unresolved Transition Array of M-shell iron. The warm absorber found from this X-ray observation spans three orders of magnitude in ionization parameter. We detect O III, which is as lowly ionized as the warm absorber detected in the UV band, to Fe XXIV. For O VI the column density determined from our X-ray data is an order of magnitude larger than the column density measured in previous UV observations. We conclude that there is substantially more low ionized material than previously deduced from UV observations. However, only a few percent of the warm absorber detected in the X-rays is lowly ionized. A 99.9 % significant increase in the derived absorbing column density with higher ionization states is observed. The outflow velocities determined from the X-ray absorption lines are consistent with those deduced from the UV lines, evidence, together with the detection of O VI, that the X-ray and UV warm absorber are different manifestations of the same phenomenon. From a simple mass conservation argument, we indicate that our data set is consistent with an outflow with small opening angle formed due to instabilities in the accretion disk. Possible due to uncertainties in the radiative transport mechanism, an apparent deviant iron to oxygen abundance is detected. No strong relativistically broadened emission lines of O VIII, N VII and C VI were detected.

description: The United States Department of Agriculture is cooperating in an interagency study to plan for the future development and control of the water resources of the Potomac River Basin.' One assignment undertaken by the Farm Economics Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, is that of appraising both the agricultural damages from floods, and the benefits from alternative combinations of control structures on the main stem and the major tributaries of the Potomac River. Techniques were developed for using sample cross-sectional data and airphoto interpretation, rather than the conventional detailed field surveys, to help us measure agricultural damage from floods. This paper discusses the development of these techniques and indicates how they may be applied to flood-damage studies in other areas.

description: Context. Some of the most dynamic active regions are associated with complex photospheric magnetic configurations such as quadrupolar regions, and especially ones with a $δ$-spot configuration and a strong Polarity Inversion Line (PIL). Aims. We study the formation and eruption of magnetic flux ropes in quadrupolar regions. Methods. 3D MHD simulations of the partial emergence of a highly twisted flux tube from the solar interior into a non-magnetized stratified atmosphere. Results. We emerge two $Ω$-shaped loops forming a quadrupolar region. The emerging flux forms two initially separated bipoles, that later come in contact creating a $δ$-spot central region. Above the two bipoles, two magnetic lobes expand and interact through a series of current sheets at the interface between them. Two recurrent confined eruptions are produced. In both cases, reconnection between sheared low-lying field lines forms a flux rope. Reconnection between the two lobes high in the atmosphere forms retracting field lines that push against the flux rope, creating a current sheet between them. It also forms a third magnetic lobe between the two emerged ones, that later acts as a strapping field. The flux rope eruptions are triggered when the reconnection between the flux ropes and the field above them becomes efficient enough to remove the tension of the overlying field. These reconnection events occur internally in the system. The first erupting flux rope almost fully reconnects with the overlying field. The second eruption is confined by the overlying field. During the confined eruption, the flux rope is enhanced in size, flux and twist, similar to confined-flare-to-flux-rope observations. Proxies of the emission reveal the two erupting filaments channels. A flare arcade is formed only in the second eruption due to the longer-lasting and more efficient reconnection below the flux rope.

description: We argue that social networks differ from most other types of networks, including technological and biological networks, in two important ways. First, they have non-trivial clustering or network transitivity, and second, they show positive correlations, also called assortative mixing, between the degrees of adjacent vertices. Social networks are often divided into groups or communities, and it has recently been suggested that this division could account for the observed clustering. We demonstrate that group structure in networks can also account for degree correlations. We show using a simple model that we should expect assortative mixing in such networks whenever there is variation in the sizes of the groups and that the predicted level of assortative mixing compares well with that observed in real-world networks.

description: Valid measures of the changing output of the marketing system in comparison with the inputs of resources such as labor are of basic importance in appraising the efficiency of the marketing system, in determining those segments of the system where possibilities for improvement are marked, and in examining a wide variety of other economic questions. Attempts to improve measures of input-output relationships have been beset by numerous difficulties relating to the quality of output, the fact that some output is in the form of service attached to a product rather than a physical commodity, the problems of disassociating inputs of different types of factors, and other questions regarding the nature of inputs. This article reports various methods that can be employed in the measurement of output per unit of labor and suggests the difference or bias that can result when various concepts are used. The methods employed produce findings that give a picture of trends in output per unit of labor input. As further Departmental studies yield improved measures of these relationships, they will be reported.

description: Despite the fact that elderly patients represent a prevalent and challenging population in the current practice, few data exist on the impact of platelet parameters on cardiovascular risk in these patients. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of age on the immature platelet count (IPC) and their relationship with CAD. We included a total of 2236 consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography in a single center. Elderly patients (age ≥ 75 years) were 756 (33.7%). IPC was measured at admission. Elderly patients were more often females (p < .001), with lower BMI and prevalence of smokers (p < .001), and a more complex cardiovascular risk profile and coronary disease (p = .02). Platelet count decreased with aging (p = .05), whereas no difference in the mean IPC was found between patients < or ≥75 years. In fact, advanced age did not emerge as an independent predictor of IPC above III tertile (≥8.6*10^6/ml), (adjusted OR[95%CI] = 0.97[0.78–1.21], p = .79). When considering elderly patients according to tertiles values of IPC (<5.1,5.1–8.59; ≥8.6*10^6/ml), we found no impact of IPC on the prevalence of CAD (81.1% vs 84.5% vs 81.5%, p = .92; adjusted OR[95%CI] = 1.08[0.67–1.72], p = .75) and its extent (37.7% vs 34.5% vs 40.2%, p = .57; adjusted OR[95%CI] = 1.22[0.85–1.73], p = .28). However, we observed a higher rate of calcified and type C lesions in elderly patients with higher IPC (p = .03 and p < .001, respectively). Therefore, advanced age is not associated with higher immature platelet count and the prevalence and severity of CAD. Moreover, IPC does not contribute to explain the higher prevalence and extent of coronary artery disease observed in elderly patients.

Transverse quantum and thermal fluctuations and the nonlinear excitation energies are calculated for beams compressed in longitudinal direction. Near the Euler instability, the system is described by a one dimensional Ginzburg-Landau model where the order parameter is the amplitude of the buckling mode. We show that in single wall carbon nanotubes with lengths of order or smaller than 100 nm zero point fluctuations are accessible and discuss the possibility of observing macroscopic quantum coherence in nanobeams near the critical strain.

description: A program of estimates covering eight classes of nursery products and four selected out flowers grown in 5 States was undertaken in late 1956 by the Fruit and Vegetable Statistics Branch of the Agricultural Estimates Division, AMS. The initial survey was an almost complete enumeration with estimates being required for only a few small nonrespondents whose size of operation had previously been established. To reduce time and costs, random sampling was tested in a 1957 survey in these same States. A sample was drawn to measure 1957 sales in relation to those made in 1956 with sampling errors of about 2 percent by States for each item. The sample was checked against (1) the results obtained from a general mailing to all producers with several followups and (2) the results obtained from similar mailings and followups of large nonrespondents by personal interview. Final results show that more accurate estimates are obtained from general mailings to all known producers with selective followups of the larger nonrespondents.

description: We study J/ψproduction in pp collisions at RHIC within the PHENIX detector acceptance range using the color singlet and color octet mechanism which are based on pQCD and NRQCD. Here we show that the color octet mechanism reproduces the RHIC data for J/ψproduction in pp collisions with respect to the p_T distribution, the rapidity distribution and the total cross section at \sqrt s = 200 GeV. The color singlet mechanism leads to a relatively small contribution to the total cross section when compared to the octet contribution.

description: We present a statistical analysis of near-relativistic (NR) solar energetic electron event spectra near 1au. We use measurements of the STEREO Solar Electron and Proton Telescope (SEPT) in the energyrange of 45-425 keV and utilize the SEPT electron event list containing all electron events observed bySTEREO A and STEREO B from 2007 through 2018. We select 781 events with significant signal tonoise ratios for our analysis and fit the spectra with single or broken power law functions of energy.We find 437 (344) events showing broken (single) power laws in the energy range of SEPT. The eventswith broken power laws show a mean break energy of about 120 keV. We analyze the dependence ofthe spectral index on the rise times and peak intensities of the events as well as on the presence ofrelativistic electrons. The results show a relation between the power law spectral index and the risetimes of the events with softer spectra belonging to rather impulsive events. Long rise-time events areassociated with hard spectra as well as with the presence of higher energy (>0.7 MeV) electrons. Thisgroup of events cannot be explained by a pure flare scenario but suggests an additional accelerationmechanism, involving a prolonged acceleration and/or injection of the particles. A dependence of thespectral index on the longitudinal separation from the parent solar source region was not found. Astatistical analysis of the spectral indices during impulsively rising events (rise times<20 minutes) isalso shown.

description: The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology which can be used to set X-factor under price cap schemes, when the number of observations is limited. We firstly apply a panel index approach across Water and Sewerage companies (WaSCs) over time to decompose unit-specific index number based productivity growth as a function of the productivity growth achieved by benchmark firms, and the catch-up to the benchmark firm achieved by less productive firms. We then calculate the potential productivity catch-up of laggard firms and an estimate of how the top performing company improved its productivity over time (technical change). Both estimates are used to propose X-factor for the industry over a particular period. The results indicated that significant gains in productivity occurred after 2000, when Ofwat set tighter price cap reviews in order to pass previous productivity benefits to consumers. However, average WaSC still needs to improve its productivity towards the benchmark firm (reduce their costs in real terms) by 2.69%, while the most productive firm needs to continue to improve its productivity by 0.95% over a period of five years. This technique is of great interest to researchers who are interested in developing comparative performance measurement under regulation and setting appropriate regulated prices when sample sizes are extremely limited.

description: In the last years, the use of thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA), eltrombopag and romiplostim, has improved the management of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Moreover, eltrombopag is also active in patients with aplastic anemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. However, their mechanisms of action and signaling pathways still remain controversial. In order to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying eltrombopag therapy, a gene expression profile (GEP) analysis in patients treated with this drug was carried out. Fourteen patients with chronic ITP were studied by means of microarrays before and during eltrombopag treatment. Median age was 78 years (range, 35–87 years); median baseline platelet count was 14 × 109/L (range, 2–68 × 109/L). Ten patients responded to the therapy, two cases relapsed after an initial response and the remaining two were refractory to the therapy. Eltrombopag induced relevant changes in the hematopoiesis, platelet activation and degranulation, as well as in megakaryocyte differentiation, with overexpression of some transcription factors and the genes PPBP, ITGB3, ITGA2B, F13A1, F13A1, MYL9 and ITGA2B. In addition, GP1BA, PF4, ITGA2B, MYL9, HIST1H4H and HIST1H2BH, genes regulated by RUNX1 were also significantly enriched after eltrombopag therapy. Furthermore, in non-responder patients, an overexpression of Bcl-X gene and genes involved in erythropoiesis, such as SLC4A1 and SLC25A39, was also observed. To conclude, overexpression in genes involved in megakaryopoiesis, platelet adhesion, degranulation and aggregation was observed in patients treated with eltrombopag. Moreover, an important role regarding heme metabolism was also present in non-responder patients.

description: We present the results of the first calculation of the logarithmic corrections to the QCD contribution to same-sign $W$-pair production, $pp\to e^\pm \nu_e \mu^\pm \nu_\mu jj$, for same-sign charged leptons. This includes all leading logarithmic contributions which scale as $\alpha_W^4 \alpha_s^{2+k}\log^k(\hat s/p_\perp^2)$. This process is important for the study of electroweak couplings and hence the QCD contributions are usually suppressed through a choice of Vector Boson Scattering (VBS) cuts. These select regions of phase space where logarithms in $\hat s/p_\perp^2$ are enhanced. While the logarithmic corrections lead to a small change for the cross sections, several distributions relevant for experimental studies are affected more significantly.

description: We examine rest-frame ultraviolet spectra of 70 high redshift quasars (z>3.5) to study the chemical enrichment history of the gas closely related to the quasars, and thereby estimate the epoch of first star formation. The fluxes of several ultraviolet emission lines were investigated within the framework of the most recent photoionization models to estimate the metallicity of the gas associated with the high-z quasars. Standard photoionization parameters and the assumption of secondary nitrogen enrichment indicate an average abundance of Z/Z_sol = 4 to 5 in the line emitting gas. Assuming a time scale of t_evol = 0.5 - 0.8 Gyrs for the chemical enrichment of the gas, the first major star formation for quasars with z>=4 should have started at a redshift of z_f = 6 - 8, corresponding to an age of the universe of several 10^8 yrs (H_o = 65 km/s/Mpc, Omega_M = 0.3, Omega_Lambda = 0.7). We note that this also appears to be the era of re-ionization of the universe. Finally, there is some evidence for a positive luminosity - metallicity relation in this high redshift quasar sample.

description: The purpose of this paper is the evaluation of various profit drivers such as price changes, productivity changes and quality levels on the financial performance of the Water and Sewerage Companies (WaSCs) over time in the case when the number of observations is limited. We thereby follow Maziotis, Saal and Thanassoulis (2012) approach and extend it by measuring the impact of exogenous factors such as drinking water and sewerage treatment quality on profitability, productivity and price performance measures. The results suggest that while quality improvements have significantly contributed to the productivity performance of the WaSCs, they have also contributed negatively to their price performance. Overall, after 2000 steady reductions in average price performance, gains in productivity and stable economic profitability were apparent. This trend indicates Ofwat’s policy on passing productivity benefits to consumers, and sustaining stable profitability than it was in earlier regulatory periods. This technique is of great interest for both regulators and regulated companies to better identify the sources of profit variation and aid them in evaluating both the effectiveness of a regulatory price cap scheme and the performance of the regulated companies, when the sample size is extremely limited.

description: Antiferromagnetism in stacked nanographite is investigated with using the Hubbard-type model. We find that the open shell electronic structure can be an origin of the decreasing magnetic moment with the decrease of the inter-graphene distance, as experiments on adsorption of molecules suggest. Next, possible charge-separated states are considered using the extended Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor interactions. The charge-polarized state could appear, when a static electric field is present in the graphene plane for example. Finally, superperiodic patterns with a long distance in a nanographene sheet observed by STM are discussed in terms of the interference of electronic wave functions with a static linear potential theoretically. In the analysis by the k-p model, the oscillation period decreases spatially in agreement with experiments.
