description: We give a microscopic derivation of the chiral Luttinger liquid theory for the Laughlin states. Starting from the wave function describing an arbitrary incompressibly deformed Laughlin state (IDLS) we quantize these deformations. In this way we obtain the low-energy projections of local microscopic operators and derive the quantum field theory of edge excitations directly from quantum mechanics of electrons. This shows that to describe experimental and numeric deviations from chiral Luttinger liquid theory one needs to go beyond Laughlin's approximation. We show that in the large N limit the IDLS is described by the dispersionless Toda hierarchy.

description: Activation of macroautophagy/autophagy, a key mechanism involved in the degradation and removal of aggregated proteins, can successfully reverse Huntington disease phenotypes in various model systems. How neuronal autophagy impairments need to be considered in Huntington disease progression to achieve a therapeutic effect is currently not known. In this study, we used a mouse model of HTT (huntingtin) protein aggregation to investigate how different methods and timing of autophagy activation influence the efficacy of autophagy-activating treatment in vivo. We found that overexpression of human TFEB, a master regulator of autophagy, did not decrease mutant HTT aggregation. On the other hand, Becn1 overexpression, an autophagic regulator that plays a key role in autophagosome formation, partially cleared mutant HTT aggregates and restored neuronal pathology, but only when administered early in the disease progression. When Becn1 was administered at a later stage, when prominent mutant HTT accumulation and autophagy impairments have occurred, Becn1 overexpression did not rescue the mutant HTT-associated phenotypes. Together, these results demonstrate that the targets used to activate autophagy, as well as the timing of autophagy activation, are crucial for achieving efficient therapeutic effects.Abbreviations: AAV: adeno-associated viral vectors; ACTB: actin beta; BECN1: beclin 1, autophagy related; DAPI: 4ʹ,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; GO: gene ontology; HD: Huntington disease; HTT: huntingtin; ICQ: Li’s intensity correlation quotient; IHC: immunohistochemistry; LAMP1: lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; mHTT: mutant huntingtin; PCA: principal component analysis; PPP1R1B/DARPP-32: protein phosphatase 1 regulatory inhibitor subunit 1B; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; TFEB: transcription factor EB; WB: western blot; WT: wild-type.

description: A long-standing open problem with direct blockmodeling is that it is explicitly intended for binary, not valued, networks. The underlying dilemma is how empirical valued blocks can be compared with ideal binary blocks, an intrinsic problem in the direct approach where partitions are solely determined through such comparisons. Addressing this dilemma, valued networks have either been dichotomized into binary versions, or novel types of ideal valued blocks have been introduced. Both these workarounds are problematic in terms of interpretability, unwanted data reduction, and the often arbitrary setting of model parameters. This paper proposes a direct blockmodeling approach that effectively bypasses the dilemma with blockmodeling of valued networks. By introducing an adaptive weighted correlation-based criteria function, the proposed approach is directly applicable to both binary and valued networks, without any form of dichotomization or transformation of the valued (or binary) data at any point in the analysis, while still using the conventional set of ideal binary blocks from structural, regular and generalized blockmodeling. The approach is demonstrated by structural, regular and generalized blockmodeling applications of six classical binary and valued networks. Finding feasible and intuitive optimal solutions in both the binary and valued examples, the approach is proposed not only as a practical, dichotomization-free heuristic for blockmodeling of valued networks but also, through its additional benefits, as an alternative to the conventional direct approach to blockmodeling.

description: We develop a theoretical and empirical model to measure the benefits and costs of policy options for controlling a seedborne, imported fungus, Verticillium dahliae, seriously affecting lettuce production in California. In 1995, the disease Verticillium wilt, caused by the fungus V. dahliae, unexpectedly appeared in a lettuce crop in Watsonville, Santa Cruz County. Since then, the disease has spread rapidly through the Parajo Valley, the prime lettuce production region of California. Plant pathologists have determined spinach seeds to be the primary pathway by which the fungus is introduced to the soil (Atallah et al., 2010). Once introduced, the pathogen persists in the soil for many years, affecting subsequent crops. We develop a simulation model to describe growers' profit maximizing decisions regarding which crops to plant, the timing of the plantings, and efforts to control the disease. We also estimate a structural econometric model explaining crop choice decisions made by growers in Monterey County. A simulation model allows for the incorporation of biological parameters estimated from the work of plant pathologists. In addition, we can compare different scenarios, in particular those that growers are hesitant to implement in their fields without knowing the impacts.

description: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund und Fragestellung Die Maßregeln nach den §§ 63 und 64 StGB wurden in der Vergangenheit wiederholt reformiert. Doch trotz der Novellierung des Rechts der Unterbringung (2016) mahnen Kliniken und Landesbehörden vor unzureichenden Kapazitäten und besorgniserregenden Zuständen. Die mediale Berichterstattung zeichnet ein herausforderndes Bild. Gleichzeitig mangelt es an validen Daten, die eine objektive Beschreibung der Situation im Maßregelvollzug (MRV) ermöglichen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurden die Einrichtungsleitungen in Deutschland befragt. Material und Methoden In dieser Onlineumfrage wurden 2021 alle 78 Einrichtungen des MRV in Deutschland zu Strukturdaten der Einrichtungen, zur Belegungs- und Personalsituation, zu besonderen Vorkommnissen, zur Unterstützung durch Fachaufsichten und Träger sowie zu besonderen Patientenmerkmalen befragt. Die Ergebnisse werden deskriptiv dargestellt. Ergebnisse Von den 78 angeschriebenen Einrichtungen partizipierten 45 (58 %) an der Umfrage zumindest teilweise. Die Mehrzahl der Kliniken (68,5 %) beklagte eine deutliche Überbelegung. Es wurde ein deutlicher Mangel von Personal und Räumen berichtet, zugleich wurde angegeben, dass Patienten keine angemessene Behandlung erhalten. Etwa jeder 5. Patient war länger als 10 Jahre im MRV untergebracht. Jede 3. Klinik berichtete eine steigende Zahl an körperlichen Übergriffen durch Patienten. Diskussion Der gewonnene Überblick zeigt die Kliniken des MRV in einer sehr unterschiedlichen, doch insgesamt angespannten Situation. Eine wesentliche Zahl der Kliniken steht unter großem Druck. Finanzielle, strukturelle, räumliche und personelle Ressourcen wurden als unzureichend beschrieben, den gesetzlichen Auftrag sach- und fachgerecht zu erfüllen. Die 2017 von der DGPPN vorgelegten Behandlungsstandards sind in vielen Kliniken nicht erfüllt.

description: We propose a theory of low temperature thermal transport in nano-wires in the regime where a competition between phonon and flexural modes governs the relaxation processes. Starting with the standard kinetic equations for two different types of quasiparticles we derive a general expression for the coefficient of thermal conductivity. The underlying physics of thermal conductance is completely determined by the corresponding relaxation times, which can be calculated directly for any dispersion of quasiparticles depending on the size of a system. We show that if the considered relaxation mechanism is dominant, then at small wire diameters the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity experiences a crossover from $T^{1/2}$ to $T^3$-dependence. Quantitative analysis shows reasonable agreement with resent experimental results.

description: Plasma-activated solutions (PAS) are attracting attention in biomedicine, however their complexity necessitates a greater understanding of both the plasma activation process and the selected starting solution. Here, five solutions, including deionized water, saline, PB, PBS, and RPMI 1640, were treated to investigate the physicochemical properties and anticancer effects. The findings show that the different solutions largely affected the gas–liquid interaction reactions and the color penetration distribution of H2O2 and NO2−. The anticancer effects are in the order of DI > PB≈saline> PBS > RPMI 1640, attributed to the important role of H2O2 and NO2− in inactivating cancer cells. This study provides insights into designing and applying PAS in practical anticancer therapy.

description: Trust-based recommender systems improve rating prediction with respect to Collaborative Filtering by leveraging the additional information provided by a trust network among users to deal with the cold start problem. However, they are challenged by recent studies according to which people generally perceive the usage of data about social relations as a violation of their own privacy. In order to address this issue, we extend trust-based recommender systems with additional evidence about trust, based on public anonymous information, and we make them configurable with respect to the data that can be used in the given application domain: 1 - We propose the Multi-faceted Trust Model (MTM) to define trust among users in a compositional way, possibly including or excluding the types of information it contains. MTM flexibly integrates social links with public anonymous feedback received by user profiles and user contributions in social networks. 2 - We propose LOCABAL+, based on MTM, which extends the LOCABAL trust-based recommender system with multi-faceted trust and trust-based social regularization. Experiments carried out on two public datasets of item reviews show that, with a minor loss of user coverage, LOCABAL+ outperforms state-of-the art trust-based recommender systems and Collaborative Filtering in accuracy, ranking of items and error minimization both when it uses complete information about trust and when it ignores social relations. The combination of MTM with LOCABAL+ thus represents a promising alternative to state-of-the-art trust-based recommender systems.

description: Abstract Trauma and toxic substances are connected in several aspects. On the one hand, toxic substances can be the reason for traumatic injuries in the context of accidental or violent and criminal circumstances. Examples for the first scenario is the release of toxic gases, chemicals, and particles during house fires, and for the second scenario, the use of chemical or biological weapons in the context of terroristic activities. Toxic substances can cause or enhance severe, life-threatening trauma, as described in this review for various chemical warfare, by inducing a tissue trauma accompanied by break down of important barriers in the body, such as the blood-air or the blood-gut barriers. This in turn initiates a “vicious circle” as the contribution of inflammatory responses to the traumatic damage enhances the macro- and micro-barrier breakdown and often results in fatal outcome. The development of sophisticated methods for detection and identification of toxic substances as well as the special treatment of the intoxicated trauma patient is summarized in this review. Moreover, some highly toxic substances, such as the protein toxins from the pathogenic bacterium Clostridioides ( C .) difficile , cause severe post-traumatic complications which significantly worsens the outcome of hospitalized patients, in particular in multiply injured trauma patients. Therefore, novel pharmacological options for the treatment of such patients are necessarily needed and one promising strategy might be the neutralization of the toxins that cause the disease. This review summarizes recent findings on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of toxic chemicals and bacterial toxins that contribute to barrier breakdown in the human body as wells pharmacological options for treatment, in particular in the context of intoxicated trauma patients. “trauma-toxicology” comprises concepts regrading basic research, development of novel pharmacological/therapeutic options and clinical aspects in the complex interplay and “vicious circle” of severe tissue trauma, barrier breakdown, pathogen and toxin exposure, tissue damage, and subsequent clinical complications.

description: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are a powerful approach for time series prediction. However, their performance is strongly affected by their architecture and hyperparameter settings. The architecture optimization of RNNs is a time-consuming task, where the search space is typically a mixture of real, integer and categorical values. To allow for shrinking and expanding the size of the network, the representation of architectures often has a variable length. In this paper, we propose to tackle the architecture optimization problem with a variant of the Bayesian Optimization (BO) algorithm. To reduce the evaluation time of candidate architectures the Mean Absolute Error Random Sampling (MRS), a training-free method to estimate the network performance, is adopted as the objective function for BO. Also, we propose three fixed-length encoding schemes to cope with the variable-length architecture representation. The result is a new perspective on accurate and efficient design of RNNs, that we validate on three problems. Our findings show that 1) the BO algorithm can explore different network architectures using the proposed encoding schemes and successfully designs well-performing architectures, and 2) the optimization time is significantly reduced by using MRS, without compromising the performance as compared to the architectures obtained from the actual training procedure.

description: The purpose of this research was identifying socio-economic characteristics affected on respondents’ participation in contract farming. The survey was conducted using structured questionnaire in populous states namely Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Perak, Selangor and Johor in Peninsular Malaysia. A total of one-hundred and sixty seven FFV farmers were randomly selected and personally interviewed. Logit analysis was carried out to identify determinants that influenced fresh fruits and vegetables (FFV) farmers participating in contract farming. The findings in the paper show that, based on the output from logistic regression, ownership, land size, education background, perceived benefit, complicated process, lacking in opportunities and price risk are dominant variables influencing FFV farmers’ willingness to participate in contract farming. Land ownership, land size, education and perceived benefit are dominant variables that positively influenced FFV farmers to participate in contract farming. Complicated process, lack of opportunities and price risk negatively influenced FFV farmers’ participation in contract farming.

description: An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange future interest rate payments over a set period of time. It consists of a series of payment periods, called swaplets. The most popular form of interest rate swaps is the vanilla swaps that involve the exchange of a fixed interest rate for a floating rate, or vice versa. There are two legs associated with each party: a fixed leg and a floating leg. Swaps are OTC derivatives that bear counterparty credit risk beside interest rate risk.

description: The purpose of this study was to survey impacts of drought on Socio-economic conditions of Guilan Paddy farmers. Besides recognizing these impacts, it ranked them according to the viewpoint of the Paddy farmers. It was of the descriptive- correlation type. Questionnaire was the main tool of this study. To determine the validity of questionnaire used of comments of panel experts and reliability of the questionnaire by using of Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 89%. The information gathered by using the survey method. The statistical population was the farmers whom their basic career was production of rice and according to the information of Agricultural Organization (Jihad-e-Keshavarzi) in 2009 was caught by drought. By using the proportional stratified sample method, 270 of these individuals were chosen and filled in the questionnaires. In order to determine the scale of drought impacts, year 2008 (a year which paddy farmers had ensured water reservoir) compared to year 2009 (a year which paddy farmers were caught by drought and water shortage). The results indicated that drought caused decrease in white-rice production for 312 kg per hectare. This problem also caused increase in costs, decrease in income, decrease in saved money, and increase in anxiety, mental problems etc on Guilan paddy farmers. Other findings indicated that there hasn’t been statistically significant relationship between age and farming experience of paddy farmers with the amount of damage. But, there was statistically significant relationship between literacy, type of water resource and taking extension advices with amount of damage.

description: Integrating natural resources management in the secondary school curriculum in Kenya has received a lot of talk without adequate practical activities. The Farmers of the Future Programme under the World Agroforestry Centre, formally the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF), initiated a practical approach to integration of natural resources management in the secondary school curriculum in Kenya. This paper provides information on significant findings of a study that was carried out to determine the potential of FoF in integrating natural resources management into the secondary school curriculum in Kenya. A comparison between secondary school students who are involved in FoF programme and those not involved was done to determine their perceptions towards natural resources management. Further, comparison of perceptions by gender among learners who are involved in the FoF initiative was done. The study employed an ex-post-facto design in data collection using questionnaires. Questionnaires and were analysed using t-test at alpha = 0.05. The findings indicated that the FoF programme had a significant influence on learners’ perceptions towards natural resources management. It was therefore concluded that FoF programme enhanced positive perceptions towards natural resources management among learners. On the basis of the findings, it was recommended that the FoF programme be expanded to cover more schools.

description: Macroautophagy/autophagy is an essential process for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis by recycling macromolecules under normal and stress conditions. ATG9 (autophagy related 9) is the only integral membrane protein in the autophagy core machinery and has a central role in mediating autophagosome formation. In cells, ATG9 exists on mobile vesicles that traffic to the growing phagophore, providing an essential membrane source for the formation of autophagosomes. Here we report the three-dimensional structure of ATG9 from Arabidopsis thaliana at 7.8 Å resolution, determined by single particle cryo-electron microscopy. ATG9 organizes into a homotrimer, with each protomer contributing at least six transmembrane α-helices. At the center of the trimer, the protomers interact via their membrane-embedded and C-terminal cytoplasmic regions. Combined with prediction of protein contacts using sequence co-evolutionary information, the structure provides molecular insights into the ATG9 architecture and testable hypotheses for the molecular mechanism of autophagy progression regulated by ATG9. 2D: 2-dimensional; 3D: 3-dimensional; AtATG9: Arabidopsis ATG9; Atg: autophagy-related; ATG9: autophagy-related protein 9; cryo-EM: cryo-electron microscopy; DDM: dodecyl maltoside; GraDeR: gradient-based detergent removal; LMNG: lauryl maltose-neopentyl glycol; PAS: phagophore assembly site; PtdIns3K: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.

description: This work reports on the effect of high temperature annealing on the electrical properties of p-type implanted 4H-SiC. Ion implantations of Aluminium (Al) at different energies (30 - 200 keV) were carried out to achieve 300 nm thick acceptor box profiles with a concentration of about 1020 at/cm3. The implanted samples were annealed at high temperatures (1675-1825 °C). Morphological analyses of the annealed samples revealed only a slight increase of the surface roughness RMS up to 1775°C, while this increase becomes more significant at 1825°C (RMS=1.2nm). Room temperature Hall measurements resulted in a hole concentration in the range 0.65-1.34x1018/cm3 and mobility values in the order of 21-27 cm2V-1s-1. The temperature dependent electrical measurements allowed to estimate an activation energy of the Al-implanted specie of about 110 meV (for the post-implantation annealing at 1675°C) and a fraction of active p-type Al-dopant ranging between 39% and 56%. The results give useful indications for the fabrication of 4H-SiC JBS and MOSFETs.
Evolution of Dust-to-Metal Ratio in Galaxies

description: This paper investigates the evolution of the dust-to-metal ratio in galaxies based on a simple evolution model for the amount of metal and dust with infall. We take into account grain formation in stellar mass-loss gas, grain growth by the accretion of metallic atoms in a cold dense cloud, and grain destruction by SNe shocks. Especially, we propose that the accretion efficiency is independent of the star-formation history. This predicts various evolutionary tracks in the metallicity ($Z$)--dust-to-gas ratio ($\cal D$) plane depending on the star-formation history. In this framework, the observed linear $Z$--$\cal D$ relation of nearby spiral galaxies can be interpreted as a sequence of a constant galactic age. We emphasize that an observational study of the $Z$--$\cal D$ relation of galaxies at $z\sim 1$ is very useful to constrain the efficiencies of dust growth and destruction. We also suggest that the Lyman break galaxies at $z\sim 3$ have a very low dust-to-metal ratio, typically $\ltsim 0.1$. Although the effect of infall on the evolutionary tracks in the $Z$--$\cal D$ plane is quite small, the dispersion of the infall rate can disturb the $Z$--$\cal D$ relation with a constant galactic age.

SQuAP-Ont: an Ontology of Software Quality Relational Factors from Financial Systems

description: Quality, architecture, and process are considered the keystones of software engineering. ISO defines them in three separate standards. However, their interaction has been scarcely studied, so far. The SQuAP model (Software Quality, Architecture, Process) describes twenty-eight main factors that impact on software quality in banking systems, and each factor is described as a relation among some characteristics from the three ISO standards. Hence, SQuAP makes such relations emerge rigorously, although informally. In this paper, we present SQuAP-Ont, an OWL ontology designed by following a well-established methodology based on the re-use of Ontology Design Patterns (i.e. ODPs). SQuAP-Ont formalises the relations emerging from SQuAP to represent and reason via Linked Data about software engineering in a three-dimensional model consisting of quality, architecture, and process ISO characteristics.

description: We present a generalization of the Bantilan-Ishi-Romatschke (BIR) solution of relativistic hydrodynamics to relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD). Using the symmetries of the boundary of the Kerr-AdS5 black hole, and certain simplifying assumptions we solve the equations of RMHD on this boundary for a highly conductive fluid. We then transform the resulting solution to the flat spacetime. Furthermore, we show that the force-free condition causes the magnetic field to become singular at particular points and propose a regularization process for removing the singularities. The regularization process reveals the importance of non-vanishing electrical current in RMHD.

description: The Nigerian rice sector has made remarkable improvement in the last decade as production has increased significantly thereby reducing the gap between domestic supply and demand. In the last three decades, rice imports make up greater proportion of Nigerian imports as rice forms a structural component of the Nigerian diet. Past government inconsistent policies were not successful in securing good market share for domestic rice producers, hence producers suffered great losses. The recent resurgence of interest by the present administration to intensify domestic rice production has yielded positive results. The objective of this study is to analyze and assess the costs and benefits of intensification of rice production systems in southeastern Nigeria using a policy analysis matrix approach. Multi Stage sampling technique was employed in selecting 75 upland and 75 lowland rice farmers who were interviewed with structured and validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). The result shows that upland; lowland and double rice cropping systems in southeastern Nigeria are profitable based on the policy analysis matrix (PAM) model, and rice production under various systems and technologies is socially profitable and financially competitive. While there exist comparative advantage in the various production systems, with lowland and double cropping being highest, substantial tax was imposed on rice imports in Nigeria and government investment in intensifying rice production had a positive impact on the output of local rice production. The study concludes with strategies for the development of rice sub sector in Nigeria.

description: In this paper, the value of exchange rate was calculated in order to determine comparative advantage in crops of Sari Township during 2009-2010. Hence, first, comparative advantage indices are estimated by using a policy analysis matrix. The results showed that just wheat has a DRC index of one in the minimum amount of national currency exchange rate value. This indicated the fact that only wheat, compared to Rice, Soybean, Canola and Barley in this region, can compete with global markets and had a social profitable production system. Therefore, it is recommended that executive policies, which make competitive ability in wheat, should also be applied for other products.

description: Macroautophagy/autophagy is an essential process for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis by recycling macromolecules under normal and stress conditions. ATG9 (autophagy related 9) is the only integral membrane protein in the autophagy core machinery and has a central role in mediating autophagosome formation. In cells, ATG9 exists on mobile vesicles that traffic to the growing phagophore, providing an essential membrane source for the formation of autophagosomes. Here we report the three-dimensional structure of ATG9 from Arabidopsis thaliana at 7.8 Å resolution, determined by single particle cryo-electron microscopy. ATG9 organizes into a homotrimer, with each protomer contributing at least six transmembrane α-helices. At the center of the trimer, the protomers interact via their membrane-embedded and C-terminal cytoplasmic regions. Combined with prediction of protein contacts using sequence co-evolutionary information, the structure provides molecular insights into the ATG9 architecture and testable hypotheses for the molecular mechanism of autophagy progression regulated by ATG9.
