description: A series of numerical simulations of thermal convection of Boussinesq fluid with infinite Prandtl number, with Rayleigh number $10^7$, and with the strongly temperature- and depth- dependent viscosity in a three-dimensional spherical shell is carried out to study the mantle convection of single-plate terrestrial planets like Venus or Mars without an Earth-like plate tectonics. The strongly temperature-dependent viscosity (the viscosity contrast across the shell is $\geq 10^5$) make the convection under stagnant-lid short-wavelength structures. Numerous, cylindrical upwelling plumes are developed because of the secondary downwelling plumes arising from the bottom of lid. This convection pattern is inconsistent with that inferred from the geodesic observation of the Venus or Mars. Additional effect of the stratified viscosity at the upper/lower mantle (the viscosity contrast is varied from 30 to 300) are investigated. It is found that the combination of the strongly temperature- and depth-dependent viscosity causes long-wavelength structures of convection in which the spherical harmonic degree $\ell$ is dominant at 1--4. The geoid anomaly calculated by the simulated convections shows a long-wavelength structure, which is compared with observations. The degree-one ($\ell = 1$) convection like the Martian mantle is realized in the wide range of viscosity contrast from 30 to 100 when the viscosity is continuously increased with depth at the lower mantle.

description: We propose a couple of oracle construction methods for quantum pattern matching. We in turn show that one of the construct can be used with the Grover's search algorithm for exact and partial pattern matching, deterministically. The other one also points to the matched indices, but primarily provides a means to generate the Hamming distance between the pattern to be searched and all the possible sub strings in the input string, in a probabilistic way.

description: Discusses the implications of the economic valuation of natural resources used for tourism and relates this valuation to the concept of total economic valuation. It demonstrates how applications of the concept of total economic valuation can be supportive of the conservation of natural resources used for tourism. Techniques for valuing tourism’s natural resources are then outlined and critically evaluated. Consideration is given to travel cost methods, contingent valuation methods, and hedonic pricing approaches before concentrating on current developments of valuation techniques, such as choice modelling. The general limitations of existing methods are considered and it is argued that more attention should be given to developing guidelines that will identify ‘optimally imperfect methods’. An overall assessment concludes this article.

description: In today's business world, diversity and inclusion (D&I) are no longer just buzzwords; they're essential for organizational success. Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics, are emerging as powerful tools to promote D&I.HRIS can help eliminate bias in recruitment by using AI-driven algorithms that assess candidates based on skills and qualifications rather than personal biases. Additionally, HRIS can track diversity metrics like gender, ethnicity, and pay equity, allowing organizations to monitor progress and identify areas for improvement.A survey of HR professionals and diversity officers revealed that HRIS significantly enhances D&I efforts. AI-powered tools help reduce unconscious bias in recruitment and promotion, ensuring fairer outcomes. By tracking key metrics, organizations can make data-driven decisions to promote inclusivity.However, challenges such as algorithmic bias and data privacy concerns must be addressed. Continuous monitoring and improvement of HRIS tools are crucial to ensure their effectiveness.In conclusion, HRIS is a valuable asset for organizations seeking to foster a more diverse and inclusive workplace. By leveraging AI and analytics, HRIS can help eliminate bias, track progress, and make data-driven decisions to create a more equitable environment for all employees.
One-armed spiral structure of accretion discs induced by a phase-dependent mass transfer in Be/X-ray binaries

description: We study non-axisymmetric structure of accretion discs in Be/X-ray binaries, performing three dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations for a coplanar system with a short period and a moderate eccentricity. We find that ram pressure due to the phase-dependent mass transfer from the Be-star disc excites a one-armed, trailing spiral structure in the accretion disc around the neutron star. The spiral wave is transient; it is excited around the periastron passage, when the material is transferred from the Be disc, and is gradually damped afterwards. The disc changes its morphology from circular to eccentric with the development of the spiral wave, and then from eccentric to circular with the decay of the wave during one orbital period. It turns out that the inward propagation of the spiral wave significantly enhances the mass-accretion rate onto the neutron star. Thus, the detection of an X-ray luminosity peak corresponding to the peak in enhanced mass-accretion rate provides circumstantial evidence that an accretion disc is present in Be/X-ray binaries.

description: Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage (PEO) is a unique captive elephant-based recreation facility in Sri Lanka. Over 35,000 visitors (both local and foreign) visit the PEO per month on average for a variety of reasons. However, little or no attempt has been made to examine their reaction to its activities. This paper reports preliminary findings from two visitor surveys (one local and one foreign) conducted at the PEO to examine the characteristics of visitors, the satisfaction they gained from the visit, their attitudes towards conservation of the elephant, their reactions to the current facilities available at the orphanage, and their opinions and maximum willingness to pay (WTP) to enter the PEO. It is found that, although some variations occurred between the samples, the majority of all respondents showed a similar reaction to the activities and facilities at the Orphanage. However, some differences are evident between these two samples in relation to satisfaction received, responses to the WTP elicitation and attitudes towards the information and interpretive facilities. Overall, the majority of the respondents indicated that their support for the conservation of the Asian elephant had increased considerably with their visit to the Orphanage. This indicates that considerable unrecorded and as yet unutilised support could be generated both financially and otherwise to conserve this endangered species through wildlife based recreation facilities such as PEO in Sri Lanka.
FOREST INCOMES AFTER UGANDA'S FOREST SECTOR REFORM: Are the Rural Poor Gaining?

description: Forest sector governance reform is frequently promoted as a policy tool for achieving favorable livelihood outcomes in the low income tropics. However, there is a dearth of empirical evidence to support this claim, particularly at the household level. Drawing on the case of a major forest sector governance reform implemented in Uganda in 2003, this study seeks to fill that gap. The research employs a quasi-experimental research design utilizing pre and post reform income portfolio data for a large sample of households surrounding three major forests in western Uganda; a control group is included in the design. On private forest land overseen by the decentralized District Forestry Service there has been no significant change in average annual household income from forests, and the share of total income from forests has only slightly increased. For households living adjacent to Budongo Central Forest Reserve, overseen by the parastatal National Forestry Authority, there have been significant gains in average annual household income from forests, as well as the share of total income from forests. However, increases are limited to households in the highest income quartile and are primarily attributed to the sale of illegally harvested timber. The findings from this study challenge the view that governance reforms result in favorable livelihood outcomes for the poorest. Policy makers should carefully consider the incentives facing both forestry officials and local resource users with particular attention to increasing awareness of the value of trees and forests, and facilitating legal opportunities for rural smallholders across all income categories to sustainably engage in forest product harvesting and value addition.
DNAR: Depth and Noise Aware Routing for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Subjects: subject: 100510 Wireless Communications
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: Recently, the underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) have been proposed for exploration of the underwater resources and to obtain information about the aquatic environment. The noise in UWSNs challenges the successful transmission of packets from a sender
to a receiver. There are many protocols in literature that address noise reduction/avoidance during underwater communication. However, they require localization information of each sensor nodes that itself is a challenging issue. In this paper, the minimum channel noise is considered and the depth and noise aware routing (DNAR) protocol is proposed to send the packets reliably from a sender node to a surface sink. In the DNAR protocol, more energy is assigned to the sensor nodes that have depth level ≤150 m. Therefore, the sensor nodes that deployed are
nearby to the sink node have more capability of transmission and will not die quickly. Also, the proposed protocol selects the forwarder candidate that have lowest depth and minimum channel noise at the receiver. As compared to some existing schemes, the proposed scheme requires no
geographical information of the nodes for data routing. The DNAR protocol is validated by Matlab simulation and compared it with the DBR scheme. The simulation results show that the DNAR has better results in-terms of packet delivery ratio (PDR), total energy consumption, and the network lifetime.

description: The quantum behavior of electrons in bilayer graphene with applied magnetic fields is addressed. By using second-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics the problem is transformed into two intertwined one dimensional stationary Schrödinger equations whose potentials are required to be shape invariant. Analytical solutions for the energy bound states are obtained for several magnetic fields. The associated spectrum is analyzed, and the probability and current densities are determined.

description: The role of various stakeholders in the management of natural resources is not clear in the West African countries. This paper discusses the historical changes in power delegation from central origins to peripheral institutions. The analysis covers the rise of bylaws across the Western African countries and links the multiplicity of bylaws to the amplification of the decentralization movement. On the basis of a literature review and their own practitioners’ experiences, the authors demonstrate the pertinence of bylaws as a tool for better management of natural resources. In the West African Francophone context, bylaws could stand both for regulations enacted by decentralized authorities or “local conventions” binding village community groups. Where formal bylaws suffer from limited enforcement, local people continue, through their traditional representatives, to engage in the negotiation of local conventions for the management of natural resources. According to the authors, there is a need to recognize local conventions, which offer an opportunity for decentralization to be more rooted in local situations. Through such conventions, traditional institutions prove their ability to reshape with decentralization even if decentralization reforms and national forestry laws have ignored them across West Africa.

description: In some extra dimension theories with a TeV fundamental Planck scale, black holes could be produced in future collider experiments. Although cross sections can be large, measuring the model parameters is difficult due to the many theoretical uncertainties. Here we discuss those uncertainties and then we study the experimental characteristics of black hole production and decay at a typical detector using the ATLAS detector as a guide. We present a new technique for measuring the temperature of black holes that applies to many models. We apply this technique to a test case with four extra dimensions and, using an estimate of the parton-level production cross section error of 20%, determine the Planck mass to 15% and the number of extra dimensions to +-0.75.

description: In acoustic wireless sensor networks (AWSNs), cooperative routing extenuates the contrary channel effects (noise, attenuation, and fading). In critical mission applications, reliability and efficient energy are the fundamental parameters. The adverse channel affects corrupt the data packet and makes the network very hard to ensures error-free communication. To overcomes with these challenges, we introduce a cooperative stability aware routing (CSAR) scheme for acoustic sensor network. The CSAR provides
better network lifetime by consuming the minimum
amount of energy and improves network reliability.
In proposed scheme, the relay and destination nodes
(DNN) are chosen on the base of the desire function
parameters (lowest depth, residual energy and lowest
noise). The node which has the best function parameters is considered the destination. While the relay node is the second highest priority node. The destination node cooperates with a single relay and frontward the packet towards the sink node positioned at the ocean surface by using multi-hoping. The proposed protocol renders prominent outcomes in terms of energy consumption, packet acceptance ratio, dead nodes, and packet received successfully at the sink.

description: Domain-based local pair natural orbital (DLPNO) coupled cluster single and double (CCSD) methods with perturbative triples (T) correction with NormalPNO were used to compute energies for twelve different S1 structures of the CaMn4O5 cluster in the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII). The DLPNO-CCSD(T0) calculations with TightPNO for the important six structures among them revealed that the right (R)-opened S1XYZW structures were more stable than the corresponding left (L)-opened structures (X = O(5), Y = W2, Z = W1, and W = O(4)) of CaMn4O5. The three different S1 structures belonging to the R-opened type (S1acca, S1bbca, and S1abcb, where O2- = a, OH- = b and H2O = c) were found nearly degenerated in energy, indicating the possibility of the coexistence of different structures in the S1 state. The DLPNO-CCSD(T0) calculations with TightPNO supported the proposal of a dynamic equilibrium model based on the multi-intermediate structures for the S1 state, which is also in agreement with EPR and other experimental and hybrid DFT computational results. Implications of the computational results are discussed in relation to scope and applicability of NormalPNO and TightPNO for the CCSD(T0) calculations of strongly correlated electron systems such as 3d transition-metal complexes.

Spin-correlation functions in ultracold paired atomic-fermion systems: sum rules, self-consistent approximations, and mean fields

description: The spin response functions measured in multi-component fermion gases by means of rf transitions between hyperfine states are strongly constrained by the symmetry of the interatomic interactions. Such constraints are reflected in the spin f-sum rule that the response functions must obey. In particular, only if the effective interactions are not fully invariant in SU(2) spin space, are the response functions sensitive to mean field and pairing effects. We demonstrate, via a self-consistent calculation of the spin-spin correlation function within the framework of Hartree-Fock-BCS theory, how one can derive a correlation function explicitly obeying the f-sum rule. By contrast, simple one-loop approximations to the spin response functions do not satisfy the sum rule. As we show, the emergence of a second peak at higher frequency in the rf spectrum, as observed in a recent experiment in trapped $^6\text{Li}$, can be understood as the contribution from the paired fermions, with a shift of the peak from the normal particle response proportional to the square of the BCS pairing gap.

description: The dynamical fluxionality, multiplicity of geometrical forms, and electronic properties of anionic, neutral, and cationic TanSi12 (n = 1–3) clusters are studied by quantum chemical calculations. The results show that TanSi12−/0/+ (n = 1–3) clusters are dominated by prism-based geometries. Impressively, neutral and cationic TanSi12 (n = 1–3) clusters have multiple geometrical forms and their low-lying isomers exhibit dynamical fluxionality. Ta1Si12− is a D6h symmetric Ta-endohedral Si12 hexagonal prism with highly electronically stability because of satisfying the 18-electrons rule, and having a closing-shell electronic configuration with a large HOMO–LUMO gap of 2.81 eV and delocalised Ta-Si12 ligand interactions. Ta1Si120/+ clusters have a C2v symmetric Ta-endohedral bicapped pentagonal prism. In Ta2Si12−/0/+, a Si5 pentagonal ring and a Si7 heptagonal ring are bridged by the Ta−Ta bonding axis, which is perpendicular to the Si5 and Si7 frameworks. Ta3Si12− adopts a bicapped hexagonal antiprism with one Ta atom encapsulated into the TaSi11 hexagonal antiprism, whereas neutral and cationic Ta3Si12 hold a TaSi5 hexagon and a Si7 heptagon penetrated by the vertical Ta−Ta bond. The Ta atoms in TanSi12−/0/+ (n = 2–3) clusters have strong bonding interactions and the charges are transferred from the Si12 frameworks to the Ta atoms.
Inference of transicriptional regulation network with gene expression data

description: We propose a new method for finding potential regulatory relationships between pairs of genes from microarray time series data and apply it to expression data for cell-cyle related genes in yeast prepared by Spellman et al. Our algorithm, dubbed the event method, employs dynamic programming to determine the likelihood of a regulatory relationship between two genes based on their time-series expression data. We compare our algorithm with the earlier correlation method and the edge detection method by Filkov et al. When tested on known transcriptional regulation genes, all three methods are able to find similar numbers of true positives. The results indicate that our algorithm is able to identify true positive pairs that are different from those found by the two methods. We also compare the correlation and the event methods using synthetic data and find that typically, the event method obtains better results.

description: In underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs), protocols with efficient energy and reliable communication are challenging, due to the unpredictable aqueous environment. The sensor nodes deployed in the specific region can not last for a long time communicating with each other because of limited energy. Also, the low speed of the acoustic waves and the small available bandwidth produce high latency as well as high transmission loss, which affects the network reliability. To address such problems, several protocols
exist in literature. However, these protocols lose energy efficiency and reliability, as they calculate the
geographical coordinates of the node or they do not avoid unfavorable channel conditions. To tackle these
challenges, this article presents the two novel routing protocol for UWSNs. The first one energy path and
channel aware (EPACA) protocol transmits data from a bottom of the water to the surface sink by taking node’s residual energy (Re), packet history (Hp), distance (d) and bit error rate (BER). In EPACA protocol, a source node computes a function value for every neighbor node. The most prior node in terms of calculated function is considered as the target destination. However, the EPACA protocol may not always guarantee packet reliability, as it delivers packets over a single path. To maintain the packet reliability in the network, the cooperative-energy path and channel aware (CoEPACA) routing scheme is added which uses relay
nodes in packet advancement. In the CoEPACA protocol, the destination node receives various copies from
the source and relay(s). The received data at the destination from multiple routes make the network more reliable due to avoiding the erroneous data. The MATLAB simulations results validated the performance of the proposed algorithms. The EPACA protocol consumed 29.01% and the CoEPACA protocol 19.04% less energy than the counterpart scheme. In addition, the overall 12.40% improvement is achieved in the packet’s reliability. Also, the EPACA protocol outperforms for packets’ latency and network lifetime.

description: This paper examines fifteen cases of collective action in six villages in rural Bangladesh. Collective action was defined broadly and identified from significant episodes in previous life-history research in the same villages. The types of collective action identified were catalyzed by marriage; dowry and domestic violence; disputes over land; illness, injury and death in accidents; and theft and cheating. The role of development NGOs was less significant than would be expected considering their visibility in rural Bangladesh. The study suggests that ‘everyday forms’ (Scott 1985) of collective action often occur spontaneously and informally, with significant impact on peoples’ wellbeing, but with ambiguous outcomes for some poor people involved. This is a different picture that is usually understood in Bangladesh – due to the visibility of NGOs – particularly by outsiders. Local government elected chairs and members play a key role in collective action events, which often include local arbitration, or shalish, hearings. A deeper understanding of how collective disputes and struggles are commonly managed in everyday life should help us to hold a more realistic view of the empowerment potential of interventions aimed at fostering collective action in rural Bangladesh.

description: Under the New Zealand Emission Trading System (NZETS), post-1989 forestry land (the exotic or indigenous forest land that was not used for plantation on 31 December 1989) in New Zealand is eligible for reward for each tonne of CO2-eqv sequestrated by reverting from pasture to indigenous scrub. We use the Land Use in Rural New Zealand (LURNZ) model to conduct 2 simulations assuming that one tonne of CO2-eqv costs $25; The reference case is that no one has entered the NZETS, the other scenario is that the whole agriculture sector and indigenous forest (but not plantation) have entered the ETS. Each simulation estimates the amount of land use changes in dairy, sheep-beef and scrub from 2008 to 2015. By comparing these simulations, we identify the current use and the area of land that may revert to indigenous scrub. The results suggest that 224,000 more hectares of post- 1989 forestry land will be protected into scrub under NZETS than without the system. After applying a land use allocation algorithm, the most likely reversion may take place on marginal sheep-beef land.

description: This letter analyzes the performance of simultaneous wireless information-and-power transfer (SWIPT) in an overlay cognitive radio network (CRN) under Nakagami-$m$ fading. A pair of secondary users (SUs) is considered in which one SU facilitates relay cooperation for communications between two primary users (PUs). In return, SUs make use of primary users' signals for energy harvesting (EH) and realize their own communications. In such a network, end-to-end bidirectional communications between the two PUs and unidirectional information exchange between the SUs can be performed in three phases. A power splitting (PS) based approach is adopted for enabling SWIPT. The relaying SU applies an amplify-and-forward (AF) protocol to broadcast primary and secondary signals, whereas the PUs perform selection combining to access the active direct link. Accurate expressions of the outage probability (OP) and throughput are derived for the primary system by considering a nonlinear energy harvester at the relaying SU under Nakagami-m fading

Subjects: Dysphagia
Foreign Body Ingestion
Psychiatric Disorder
Failed Esophagoscopic Removal
Surgical Intervention

description: Background:

Foreign body ingestion is a problem seen frequently in the emergency department, particularly in children and elderly patients. The possibility of foreign body ingestion should be considered in psychiatric patients. In some complicated cases, foreign bodies cannot be removed by esophagoscopy and require surgical intervention.

Case presentation: 

We present the case of a 50-year-old male with psychiatric disorder presented to our department with dysphagia after ingestion of stone piece or brick piece. CT scan of the neck revealed hyperdense substance (measuring approx. 4.0 X 3.5 cm) in esophagus at the level of lower border of C5 to C7. After a failed rigid esophagoscopic removal, he underwent surgery, with subsequent resolution of the condition.

Conclusion: 

Although in most cases of esophageal foreign body there is a spontaneous passage through the gastrointestinal tract, in some cases there is the possibility of requiring esophagoscopy (reported success greater than 95% of cases) or surgical treatment

description: Hierarchies permeate the structure of real networks, whose nodes can be ranked according to different features. However, networks are far from tree-like structures and the detection of hierarchical ordering remains a challenge, hindered by the small-world property and the presence of a large number of cycles, in particular clustering. Here, we use geometric representations of undirected networks to achieve an enriched interpretation of hierarchy that integrates features defining popularity of nodes and similarity between them, such that the more similar a node is to a less popular neighbor the higher the hierarchical load of the relationship. The geometric approach allows us to measure the local contribution of nodes and links to the hierarchy within a unified framework. Additionally, we propose a link filtering method, the similarity filter, able to extract hierarchical backbones containing the links that represent statistically significant deviations with respect to the maximum entropy null model for geometric heterogeneous networks. We applied our geometric approach to the detection of similarity backbones of real networks in different domains and found that the backbones preserve local topological features at all scales. Interestingly, we also found that similarity backbones favor cooperation in evolutionary dynamics modelling social dilemmas.

description: Chambers and Quiggin (2000) have used state-contingent production theory to establish important results concerning economic behaviour in the presence of uncertainty, including problems of consumer choice, the theory of the firm, and principal-agent relationships. Empirical application of the state contingent approach has proved difficult, not least because most of the data needed for applying standard econometric methods are lost in unrealized states of the world. O'Donnell and Griffiths (2006) show how a restrictive type of state-contingent technology can be estimated in a finite mixtures framework. This paper shows how Bayesian methodology can be used to estimate more flexible types of state-contingent technologies.

description: We determine quantum precision limits for estimation of damping constants and temperature of lossy bosonic channels. A direct application would be the use of light for estimation of the absorption and the temperature of a transparent slab. Analytic lower bounds are obtained for the uncertainty in the estimation, through a purification procedure that replaces the master equation description by a unitary evolution involving the system and ad hoc environments. For zero temperature, Fock states are shown to lead to the minimal uncertainty in the estimation of damping, with boson-counting being the best measurement procedure. In both damping and temperature estimates, sequential pre-thermalization measurements, through a stream of single bosons, may lead to huge gain in precision.
