description: Late maturing α-amylase (LMA) is a genetic defect in some wheat lines that when triggered by particular environmental conditions damages the grains’ starch and reduces its suitability in processing. To lessen the risk of LMA expression in Australia’s wheat crops, a testing regime is now part of the nation’s varietal classification system. This paper analyses the impact of relaxing the testing regime and thereby providing farmers with the option to grow higher yielding varieties with higher risks of expressing an LMA defect that causes a price downgrade. We model the potential for quality downgrade by incorporating an expected price into the wheat supply and demand functions. The expected price is generated using the price differential between milling and feed grades and the probability of LMA exhibition. The net benefit from shifting between the current and more relaxed testing regimes is evaluated as the change in producer surplus. The analysis is based on the Western Australian wheat industry that supplies around half of Australia’s wheat exports. Initial findings indicate that the expected net benefit to the wheat industry in Western Australia from a relaxation of the current LMA policy is around $18m per annum.

description: We motivate that the start-up of the B factories has opened a new precision flavour physics era, with an important effect on model building. Using as an example a left-right model with spontaneous CP violation, we will show how the inclusion of the new experimental data on B physics observables, together with the old observables coming from kaon physics, has significantly widened our capacity to strongly constrain the parameter space up to the point to exclude models. On the contrary, using certain hypotheses, mainly concerning isospin, we discuss how theory may help us to `test' the data on charged, neutral and mixed $B \to πK$ decays once experimental errors will be reduced.

description: We considered the problem how to handle the exploding number of possibilities to be sorted into irreducible classes by using a clustering tool when its input capacity cannot accommodate the total number of the possibility. Concrete situations are explained taking examples of atomic substitutions in the supercell modeling of alloys. The number of the possibility sometimes amounts to $\sim$ trillion being too large to be accommodate. It is hence not practically feasible to identify how many irreducible classes exist by straightforward manner even though there are several tools available to perform the clustering. We have developed a stochastic framework to avoid the shortage of capacity, providing a method to estimate the total number of irreducible classes (the order of the classes) as a statistical estimate. A prominent conclusion derived here is that the statistical variation of the number of classes at each sampling trial is working as a promising measure to estimate the order.

description: The discovery of viable deposits of the oil resource in the Albertine region of Uganda has key implications for the socio economic development of the economy. EPRC with support from the World Bank conducted a socio economic baseline survey of the districts with ongoing oil exploration activities, districts with potential for future exploration/production activities and some control districts. A primary object of the baseline was to establish a basis for future impact evaluations of the oil resource on the economic and social welfare of the population affected . Information was collected on issues such as awareness about oil activities, expectations from the oil resources, people trust vis-à-vis the authorities with regard to the proposed exploitation. Categorizing the analysis based on a number of criteria (gender, education level, ethnicity, rural or urban and from an oil or non-oil district), the report comes up with a number of policy options vital to government and all stakeholders in the nascent oil sector.

description: The solution to nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation is constructed in terms of the minimal Markov semigroup generated by the equation. The semigroup is obtained by a purely functional analytical method via Hille-Yosida theorem. The existence of the positive invariant measure with density is established and a weak form of Foguel alternative proven. We show the equivalence among self-adjoint of the elliptic operator, time-reversibility, and zero entropy production rate of the stationary diffusion process. A thermodynamic theory for diffusion processes emerges.

description: Dairy farm numbers are declining in nearly every region and county of New York State but the rate of decline varies between years and counties. Converting inefficient or unprofitable farm resources to nonfarm use is part of the adjustment process. New York dairy counties are at different stages of this process. Increasing dairy farm productivity to remain economically viable and competitive is also part of the adjustment process. Fifteen of New York's 23 largest dairy counties have increased average milk output per farm at rates greater than the State average. The dairy farming industry in these counties is in the most competitive position.

description: We use silicon strip detectors (originally developed for the CLEO III high energy particle physics experiment) to measure fluid particle trajectories in turbulence with temporal resolution of up to 70,000 frames per second. This high frame rate allows the Kolmogorov time scale of a turbulent water flow to be fully resolved for 140 <= R_lambda <= 970. Particle trajectories exhibiting accelerations up to 16,000 m\s^2 (40 times the rms value) are routinely observed. The probability density function of the acceleration is found to have Reynolds number dependent stretched exponential tails. The moments of the acceleration distribution are calculated. The scaling of the acceleration component variance with the energy dissipation is found to be consistent with the results for low Reynolds number direct numerical simulations, and with the K41 based Heisenberg-Yaglom prediction for R_lambda >= 500. The acceleration flatness is found to increase with Reynolds number, and to exceed 60 at R_lambda = 970. The coupling of the acceleration to the large scale anisotropy is found to be large at low Reynolds number and to decrease as the Reynolds number increases, but to persist at all Reynolds numbers measured. The dependence of the acceleration variance on the size and density of the tracer particles is measured. The autocorrelation function of an acceleration component is measured, and is found to scale with the Kolmogorov time tau_eta.

description: Self-interacting dark matter has been proposed to explain the apparent mass deficit in astrophysical small-scale halos, while observations from galaxy clusters suggest that the corresponding cross section depends on the velocity. Accounting for this is often believed to be highly model-dependent with studies mostly focusing on scenarios with light mediators. Based on the effective-range formalism, in this work we point out a model-independent approach which accurately approximates the velocity dependence of the self-interaction cross section with only two parameters. We illustrate how this parameterization can be simultaneously interpreted in various well-motivated scenarios, including self-interactions induced by Yukawa forces, Breit-Wigner resonances and bound states. We investigate the astrophysical implications and discuss how the approximation can be improved in certain special regimes where it works poorly.

description: Addressing the challenge of bone tissue regeneration requires creating an optimal microenvironment that promotes both osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Electroconductive scaffolds have emerged as promising solutions for bone regeneration; however, existing conductive polymers often lack biofunctionality and biocompatibility. In this study, we synthesized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanoparticles (PEDOT NPs) using chemical oxidation polymerization and incorporated them into gelatin/hyaluronic acid/hydroxyapatite (Gel:HA:HAp) scaffolds to develop Gel:HA:HAp:PEDOT-NP scaffolds. Morphological analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed a honeycomb-like structure with pores of 228–250 μm in diameter. The addition of the synthesized PEDOT NPs increased the conductive capabilities of the scaffolds to 1 × 10− 6 ± 1.3 × 10− 7 S/cm. Biological assessment of PEDOT NP scaffolds using human foetal osteoblastic 1.19 cells (hFOB), and human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) revealed enhanced cell proliferation and viability compared to control scaffold without NPs, along with increased osteogenic differentiation, evidenced by higher levels of alkaline phosphatase activity, osteopontin (OPN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OCN) expression, as observed through immunofluorescence, and enhanced expression of osteogenic-related genes. The conductive scaffold shows interesting mineralization capacity, as shown by Alizarin red and Osteoimage staining. Furthermore, PEDOT-NP scaffolds promoted angiogenesis, as indicated by improved tube formation abilities of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), especially at the higher concentrations of NPs. Overall, our findings demonstrate that the integration of PEDOT NPs scaffold enhances their conductive properties and promotes cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenesis. Gel:HA:HAp:PEDOT-NP scaffolds exhibit promising potential as efficient biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration, offering a potential engineered platform for clinical applications

description: Given matrices A and B and vectors a, b, c and d, all with non-negative entries, we consider the problem of computing min {c.x: x in Z^n_+, Ax > a, Bx < b, x < d}. We give a bicriteria-approximation algorithm that, given epsilon in (0, 1], finds a solution of cost O(ln(m)/epsilon^2) times optimal, meeting the covering constraints (Ax > a) and multiplicity constraints (x < d), and satisfying Bx < (1 + epsilon)b + beta, where beta is the vector of row sums beta_i = sum_j B_ij. Here m denotes the number of rows of A. This gives an O(ln m)-approximation algorithm for CIP -- minimum-cost covering integer programs with multiplicity constraints, i.e., the special case when there are no packing constraints Bx < b. The previous best approximation ratio has been O(ln(max_j sum_i A_ij)) since 1982. CIP contains the set cover problem as a special case, so O(ln m)-approximation is the best possible unless P=NP.

description: Passively-generated data, such as GPS data and cellular data, bring tremendous opportunities for human mobility analysis and transportation applications. Since their primary purposes are often non-transportation related, the passively-generated data need to be processed to extract trips. Most existing trip extraction methods rely on data that are generated via a single positioning technology such as GPS or triangulation through cellular towers (thereby called single-sourced data), and methods to extract trips from data generated via multiple positioning technologies (or, multi-sourced data) are absent. And yet, multi-sourced data are now increasingly common. Generated using multiple technologies (e.g., GPS, cellular network- and WiFi-based), multi-sourced data contain high variances in their temporal and spatial properties. In this study, we propose a 'Divide, Conquer and Integrate' (DCI) framework to extract trips from multi-sourced data. We evaluate the proposed framework by applying it to an app-based data, which is multi-sourced and has high variances in both location accuracy and observation interval (i.e. time interval between two consecutive observations). On a manually labeled sample of the app-based data, the framework outperforms the state-of-the-art SVM model that is designed for GPS data. The effectiveness of the framework is also illustrated by consistent mobility patterns obtained from the app-based data and an externally collected household travel survey data for the same region and the same period.

description: We study the effects of gravitationally-driven decoherence on tunneling processes associated with false vacuum decays, such as the Coleman--De~Luccia instanton. We compute the thermal graviton-induced decoherence rate for a wave function describing a perfect fluid of nonzero energy density in a finite region. When the effective cosmological constant is positive, the thermal graviton background sourced by a de Sitter horizon provides an unavoidable decoherence effect, which may have important consequences for tunneling processes in cosmological history. We discuss generalizations and consequences of this effect and comment on its observability and applications to black hole physics.

description: We present the details of the Bayesian analysis on the planetary microlensing event MOA-2016-BLG-227, whose excess flux is likely due to a source/lens companion or an unrelated ambient star, as well as of the assumed prior distributions. Furthermore, we apply this method to four reported planetary events, MOA-2008-BLG-310, MOA-2011-BLG-293, OGLE-2012-BLG-0527, and OGLE-2012-BLG-0950, where adaptive optics observations have detected excess flux at the source star positions. For events with small angular Einstein radii, our lens mass estimates are more uncertain than those of previous analyses who assumed that the excess was due to the lens. Our predictions for MOA-2008-BLG-310 and OGLE-2012-BLG-0950 are consistent with recent results on these events obtained via Keck and Hubble Space Telescope observations when the source star is resolvable from the lens star. For events with small angular Einstein radii, we find that it is generally difficult to conclude whether the excess flux comes from the host star. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the lens star by measuring its proper motion relative to the source star to determine whether the excess flux comes from the lens star. Even without such measurements, our method can be used to statistically test the dependence of the planet-hosting probability on the stellar mass.

description: The exchange of two neutrinos at one loop leads to a long-range parity-violating force between fermions. We explore the two-neutrino force in the backdrop of atomic physics. We point out that this is the largest parity-violating long-range force in the Standard Model and calculate the effect of this force in experiments that probe atomic parity violation by measuring optical rotation of light as it passes through a sample of vaporized atoms. We perform explicit calculations for the hydrogen atom to demonstrate this effect. Although we find that the effect is too small to be observed in hydrogen in the foreseeable future, our approach may be applied to other setups where long-range parity violation is large enough to be probed experimentally.

description: There is great value embedded in reusing scientifc data for secondary discoveries. However, it is challenging to find and reuse the large amount of existing scientific data distributed across the web and data repositories. Some of the challenges reside in the volume and complexity of scientific data, others pertain to the current practices and workflow of research data management. AIDR 2019 (Artificial Intelligence for Data Discovery and Reuse) is a new conference that brings together researchers across a broad range of disciplines, computer scientists, tool developers, data providers, and data curators, to share innovative solutions that apply artificial intelligence to scientific data discovery and reuse, and discuss how various stakeholders work together to create a healthy data ecosys- tem. This editorial summarizes the main themes and takeaways from the inaugural AIDR conference.

description: Subfamily Thelepodinae Hessle, 1917   Diagnosis. Terebellids with 0–3 pairs of branchiae, each consisting of multiple unbranching filaments originating independently. Ventral surface of body highly glandular anteriorly, discrete ventral shields absent. Notopodia extending for variable number of segments, with distally winged or distally serrated notochaetae. Neuropodia with uncini arranged in single rows throughout.
 Remarks. Nogueira et al. (in press) recognized two groups of thelepodines, one of which consisting of the genera Decathelepus Hutchings, 1977, Glossothelepus Hutchings & Glasby, 1988, Rhinothelepus Hutchings, 1974, Telothelepus Day, 1955, and, according to our recent observations, Parathelepus Caullery, 1915, the other group containing the rest of the subfamily.
 Thelepodines of the first group have an upper lip much longer than wide and body divided in two regions, the first with some anterior achaetous segments followed by few segments with notopodia only and then biramous parapodia, the second region with neuropodia only. The notochaetae in this group are distally winged, although most taxa also have bayonet-chaetae, at least on some anterior chaetigers (Nogueira et al. in press). The neuropodia are present as sessile ridges on the first region and as slightly raised pinnules on the second. The uncini are about as long as high, with dorsal button situated away from anterior margin of uncini and a conspicuous prow is present (Nogueira et al. in press).
 Thelepodines of the second group have an upper lip about as long as wide and the body regions are not always clearly marked, since notopodia extend until posterior body in several taxa. The notochaetae of this group are mostly distally winged, but distally serrated notochaetae are present in a few taxa. The neuropodia are present as fleshy, slightly raised structures on the segments with biramous parapodia, and raised pinnules on the segments after notopodia terminate, in the taxa which have body regions clearly marked. The uncini may be similar to those of the thelepodines of the first group or, more commonly, are distinctly longer than wide, with dorsal button at anterior margin of the uncini, or close to it, and reduced to inconspicuous prow (Nogueira et al. in press).

There are abstract geometric and arithmetic relationships among the frescoes and other decorations in this room; those interlocking interrelationships collectively constitute a kind of ‘abstract object’ that can be grasped more fully by the intellect than by merely passive vision alone. Some of these abstract patterns are described on a slate that is depicted within one of the frescoes in this room, which is known as The School of Athens. We may never know for certain whether Raphael was the one who invented all the mathematical patterns that can be found in this room, or whether he was merely implementing arithmetical plans that had been imposed upon him by the Pope or the Pope’s advisors. Nevertheless, we can establish without any significant room for doubt that the visual iconography in the Stanza della Segnatura does align, within a credible ‘margin of error’, against central features of the mathematical music theory that is described in Plato’s Timaeus and teased out on Raphael’s Slate. If Raphael’s Stanza della Segnatura is indeed ‘the Room of the Signature’, then that ‘Signature’ is the musically harmonious ‘World Soul’ of Plato’s Timaeus.

description: The theory for current fluctuations in ac-driven transport through nanoscale systems is put forward. By use of a generalized, non-Hermitian Floquet theory we derive novel explicit expressions for the time-averaged current and the zero-frequency component of the power spectrum of current fluctuations. A distinct suppression of both the zero-frequency noise and the dc-current occurs for suitably tailored ac-fields. The relative level of transport noise, being characterized by a Fano factor, can selectively be manipulated by ac-sources; in particular, it exhibits both characteristic maxima and minima near current suppression.

Implications of Neutron Decoupling in Short Gamma Ray Bursts

description: Roughly half of the observed gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) may arise from the shocking of an ultra-relativistic shell of protons with the interstellar medium (ISM). Any neutrons originally present in the GRB fireball may, depending on the characteristics of the central engine, dynamically decouple as the fireball accelerates. This leads to outflow consisting of separate fast proton and slow neutron components. We derive detailed implications of neutron decoupling for the observed lightcurves of short bursts. We show that the collision of a neutron decayed shell with a decelerating outer shell is expected to result in an observable second peak in the GRB lightcurve. There may be substantial optical emission associated with such an event, so the upcoming Swift satellite may be able to place constraints on models for short bursts. We also discuss interesting inferences about central engine characteristics allowed by existing BATSE data and a consideration of neutron decoupling.

Geometric Foundation of Thermo-Statistics, Phase Transitions, Second Law of Thermodynamics, but without Thermodynamic Limit

description: A geometric foundation thermo-statistics is presented with the only axiomatic assumption of Boltzmann's principle S(E,N,V)=k\ln W. This relates the entropy to the geometric area e^{S(E,N,V)/k} of the manifold of constant energy in the finite-N-body phase space. From the principle, all thermodynamics and especially all phenomena of phase transitions and critical phenomena can unambiguously be identified for even small systems. The topology of the curvature matrix C(E,N) of S(E,N) determines regions of pure phases, regions of phase separation, and (multi-)critical points and lines. Within Boltzmann's principle, Statistical Mechanics becomes a geometric theory addressing the whole ensemble or the manifold of all points in phase space which are consistent with the few macroscopic conserved control parameters. This interpretation leads to a straight derivation of irreversibility and the Second Law of Thermodynamics out of the time-reversible, microscopic, mechanical dynamics. This is all possible without invoking the thermodynamic limit, extensivity, or concavity of S(E,N,V). The main obstacle against the Second Law, the conservation of the phase-space volume due to Liouville is overcome by realizing that a macroscopic theory like Thermodynamics cannot distinguish a fractal distribution in phase space from its closure.

Februus: Input Purification Defense Against Trojan Attacks on Deep Neural Network Systems

description: We propose Februus; a new idea to neutralize highly potent and insidious Trojan attacks on Deep Neural Network (DNN) systems at run-time. In Trojan attacks, an adversary activates a backdoor crafted in a deep neural network model using a secret trigger, a Trojan, applied to any input to alter the model's decision to a target prediction---a target determined by and only known to the attacker. Februus sanitizes the incoming input by surgically removing the potential trigger artifacts and restoring the input for the classification task. Februus enables effective Trojan mitigation by sanitizing inputs with no loss of performance for sanitized inputs, Trojaned or benign. Our extensive evaluations on multiple infected models based on four popular datasets across three contrasting vision applications and trigger types demonstrate the high efficacy of Februus. We dramatically reduced attack success rates from 100% to near 0% for all cases (achieving 0% on multiple cases) and evaluated the generalizability of Februus to defend against complex adaptive attacks; notably, we realized the first defense against the advanced partial Trojan attack. To the best of our knowledge, Februus is the first backdoor defense method for operation at run-time capable of sanitizing Trojaned inputs without requiring anomaly detection methods, model retraining or costly labeled data.

Morphological profiling of small molecules for mode-of-action studies using the Cell Painting Assay

description: The Cell Painting Assay (CPA) is an unbiased morphological profiling approach that generates a holistic view of the bioactivity space. Therefore, it is a powerful tool to deconvolute targets or mode-of-action (MoA) of small molecules, which is especially important for non-protein targets as they are difficult to identify with commonly applied methods. In order to examine the applicability of the CPA to identify non-proteins targets, the morphological fingerprint of the iron chelator Deferoxamine (DFO), as well as references and so far uncharacterized compounds with similar fingerprints, were investigated. Reference compounds, biosimilar to DFO, possess different annotated targets and activities but share a common MoA of cell cycle arrest. This was experimentally confirmed for a representative selection of references. The cluster analysis enabled the identification of novel and so far uncharacterized chelating agents and DNA synthesis modulators. Furthermore, hierarchical clustering, using the CPA fingerprints, revealed a first insight into the different mechanisms of action. To investigate the bioactivity of a small tetrahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinolizine compound class, a combination of morphological profiling using the CPA and proteome profiling was pursued. The results revealed an altered cholesterol homeostasis induced by the compound’s physicochemical properties that led to an accumulation and an increased pH in lysosomes. More than 400 reference compounds and well-characterized drugs with different annotated targets and activities share high biosimilarity to the most active derivative. The majority of the compounds in this cluster also possess physicochemical properties, that are predictive for the accumulation in lysosomes. Modulation of cholesterol homeostasis was experimentally confirmed for a representative selection of references. Therefore, this cluster can be used to identify novel modulators of cholesterol homeostasis but also to associate the regulation of corresponding genes or proteins to an effect induced by the physicochemical properties of the compounds. The findings presented in this thesis emphasize the power of the CPA to evaluate bioactive small molecules and to predict diverse MoA for uncharacterized compounds as well as to uncover and expand so far unknown activity for already characterized small molecules and drugs.
Negotiating legal knowledge, community values, and entrepreneurship in fan cultural production

description: Sophie G. Einwächter sheds light on the digital transformation of fan culture leading to the phenomenon of entrepreneurial fans who now gather large audiences for their media and make money with practices that were initially purely rooted in fan culture. Einwächter presents two different cases: First, the well-publicised case of fan-fiction-turned-bestseller-author E. L. James (Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy), which evoked a negative response from within her former online community, (with the criticism mostly referring to the ethical rather than the legal status of her work) and, second, the German case of Harry-Potter-fan-turned-comedian Kathrin Fricke, also known as Coldmirror, which shows that practices of fan culture can find a professional market without causing community backlash. Furthermore, Einwächter demonstrates how especially those fan producers who are in charge of their own sites and media infrastructures respond to copyright uncertainty by using copyright disclaimers, reaching an agreement with copyright holders, expanding their own legal knowledge, or by engaging in risk distribution or pragmatic productivity.
