description: Co-products of processing agricultural commodities are often marketed through private transaction rather than through public markets or those in which public transaction information is recorded or available. The resulting lack of historical price information prohibits the use of positive time series techniques to estimate demand. Demand estimates for co-products are of value to both livestock producers, who obtain them for use in livestock rations, and processors, who must sell or otherwise dispose of them. Linear programming has long been used, first by researchers and later as a mainstream tool for nutritionists and producers, to formulate least-cost livestock rations. Here it is used as a normative technique to estimate step function demand schedules for co-products by individual livestock classes within a crop-reporting district. Regression is then used to smooth step function demand schedules by fitting demand data to generalized Leontief cost functions. Seemingly unrelated regression is used to estimate factor demand first adjusted for data censoring using probit analysis. Demand by individual livestock classes is aggregated over the number of livestock within a region. Quantities demanded by beef cows for each of the three co-products considered, sugarbeet pulp, wheat middlings, and potato waste, are large relative to other species because of their predominance in the district. At the current price for sugarbeet pulp, quantity demanded by district livestock is low. However quantity demanded is price elastic and becomes much greater at lower prices. Wheat middlings can be an important component of livestock rations, even at higher prices. At a price slightly below the current price, local livestock demand would exhaust the wheat middlings produced at the district's only wheat processing plant. Potato waste is most appropriate for ruminant diets because these animals are able to consume a large quantity of this high moisture feedstuff. Potato waste can be a cost-effective component in beef and dairy rations. Practically, livestock markets for potato waste must be in close proximity to a potato processing plant. Its high moisture content limits the distance it can be economically transported. At current prices, potato waste can be economically included in the ration for beef cows on a farm nearly 100 miles from the processing plant, although storage challenges may restrict use of the feed to closer operations.

Lipoprotein lipase and the ATP binding cassette transporter ABCA1 : two genes regulating plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels and risk of coronary artery disease
Creators: name: Clee, Susanne M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) levels are independent risk factors for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). In contrast, increased high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), is associated with protection against CAD. These studies investigated the relationship between alterations in two genes involved in TG and HDL metabolism, lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and the ATP-binding cassette transporter ABC A1, plasma lipid levels and atherosclerosis. Following initial studies validating the use of the mouse as an animal model in which to study the effects of LPL on atherosclerosis, data from apolipoprotein E deficient and cholesterolfed C57BL/6 mice demonstrated that the role of LPL in atherosclerosis is dependent on the site from which it is expressed. Increased plasma LPL activity is anti-atherogenic, while increased LPL protein within the blood vessel wall is pro-atherogenic. Similar trends were demonstrated in a feline model of LPL deficiency. Three common LPL polymorphisms (cSNPs) are associated with altered lipid levels and severity of CAD. These studies have shown that: the N291S variant is associated with decreased enzymatic activity, and an increased postprandial TG response; the D9N variant is associated with decreased LPL secretion, increased TG, and is in linkage disequilibrium with the g(-93)t variant (itself associated with decreased TG); and the S447X variant is associated with both decreased TG and blood pressure, which may account for its reduction in atherosclerosis independent of its effects on lipids. Our identification of ABCA1 demonstrated it is an important determinant of plasma HDLC levels. Heterozygosity for ABCA1 mutations is associated with decreased plasma HDL-C, increased TG, and a three-fold increased risk of CAD compared to unaffected relatives. The residual efflux activity in carriers of each mutation is a strong predictor of plasma HDL-C levels and CAD. Several cSNPs in the ABCA1 gene were identified, and were associated with plasma lipid levels and the severity of CAD. The R219K cSNP is associated with increased plasma HDL-C, decreased TG and decreased atherosclerosis, while others showed moderate effects on plasma lipid levels and/or the severity of atherosclerosis. In conclusion, genetic variation in both LPL and ABCA1 influences plasma TG and HDLC levels, and significantly alters the severity of atherosclerosis.

description: Purpose: This systematic review aimed to establish language and speech markers to support the clinical diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and its clinical phenotypes. Our first objective was to identify behavioral language and speech markers of early-stage PPA. Our second objective was to identify the electrophysiological correlates of the language and speech characteristics in PPA.Method: The databases MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for relevant articles. To identify behavioral markers, the initial subjective complaints and the language and speech deficits detected during the initial diagnostic evaluation were summarized for PPA in general and each clinical variant according to the 2011 consensus diagnostic criteria (nonfluent variant [NFV], semantic variant, and logopenic variant [LV]). To identify electrophysiological markers, the studies in which event-related potentials (ERPs) were elicited by a language or speech paradigm in patients with PPA were included.Results: In total, 114 relevant studies were identified, including 110 behavioral studies and only four electrophysiological studies. This review suggests that patients with the semantic variant could be accurately differentiated from the NFV and LV in the initial stages based on the consensus criteria. Nonetheless, the early differentiation between the NFV and LV is not straightforward. In the four electrophysiological studies, differences in the latency, amplitude, and topographical distribution of the semantic N400 component were found between patients with PPA and healthy controls. Conclusions: To accurately differentiate the NFV from the LV, it could be important to assess the language and speech degeneration by more specific assessments and by more objective diagnostic methods that offer insights into the language-related processes. Electrophysiological markers of PPA were not identified in this review due to the low number of studies that investigated language-related ERPs. More controlled ERP studies in larger patient cohorts are needed to investigate the diagnostic applicability of language-related ERPs in PPA.

description: Two aspects in connection with the magnetic properties of La_{2-x-y}Nd_ySr_xCuO_4 single crystals are discussed. The first is related to long wavelength magnetic excitations in x = 0, 0.01, and 0.03 La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4 detwinned crystals as a function of doping, temperature and magnetic field. Two magnetic modes were observed within the AF region of the phase diagram. The one at lower energies was identified with the spin-wave gap induced by the antisymmetric DM interaction and its anisotropic properties in magnetic field could be well explained using a canonical form of the spin Hamiltonian. A new finding was a magnetic field induced mode whose dynamics allowed us to discover a spin ordered state outside the AF order which was shown to persist in a 9 T field as high as 100 K above the Néel temperature T_N for x = 0.01. For these single magnon excitations we map out the Raman selection rules in magnetic fields and demonstrate that their temperature dependent spectral weight is peaked at the Néel temperature. The second aspect is related to phononic and magnetic Raman scattering in La_{2-x-y}Nd_ySr_xCuO_4 with three doping concentrations: x = 1/8, y = 0; x = 1/8, y = 0.4; and x = 0.01, y = 0. We observed that around 1/8 Sr doping and independent of Nd concentration there exists substantial disorder in the tilt pattern of the CuO_6 octahedra in both the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases which persist down to 10 K and are coupled to bond disorder in the cation layers. The weak magnitude of existing charge/spin modulations in the Nd doped structure did not allow us to detect specific Raman signatures on lattice dynamics or two-magnon scattering around 2200 cm-1.

description: The search for life on extrasolar planets is based on the assumption that one can screen extrasolar planets for habitability spectroscopically. The first space born instruments able to detect as well as characterize extrasolar planets, Darwin and terrestrial planet finder (TPF-I and TPF-C) are scheduled to launch before the end of the next decade. The composition of the planetary surface, atmosphere, and its temperature-pressure profile influence a detectable spectroscopic signal considerably. For future space-based missions it will be crucial to know this influence to interpret the observed signals and detect signatures of life in remotely observed atmospheres. We give an overview of biomarkers in the visible and IR range, corresponding to the TPF-C and TPF-I/DARWIN concepts, respectively. We also give an overview of the evolution of biomarkers over time and its implication for the search for life on extrasolar Earth-like planets. We show that atmospheric features on Earth can provide clues of biological activities for at least 2 billion years.

description: We discuss the formulation of cosmological topologically massive (simple) supergravity theory in three-dimensional Riemann-Cartan space-times. We use the language of exterior differential forms and the properties of Majorana spinors on 3-dimensional space-times to explicitly demonstrate the local supersymmetry of the action density involved. Coupled field equations that are complete in both of their bosonic and fermionic sectors are derived by a first order variational principle subject to a torsion-constraint imposed by the method of Lagrange multipliers. We compare these field equations with the partial results given in the literature using a second order variational formalism.

We show that the same nucleation process looks as quantum mechanical tunneling (instanton) to one Killing observer and as thermal activation (thermalon) to another. Thus, we find another striking example of the deep interplay between gravity, thermodynamics and quantum mechanics which becomes apparent in presence of horizons.

description: Hungary and Poland are two applicant countries, which know the date of the admission into European Union, but the problems of the agriculture are great in both of them. The ways to the recent conditions were different, but the economic situation is similar. In Poland, mainly on the Eastern part of the country, there is a huge number of traditionally small farms operating under the economic size limit, and which are usually have not got adequate farming implements to up-to-date technologies, and their effectiveness is low. At the same time on the Western part of Poland there are Prussian type, better-mechanized, more effective large scale farms. In Hungary as a result of the economic transition the earlier large scale farms were privatised and great number of small farms came into being, which had not got any technical assets to the competitive agricultural production, and there are considerable number of private large farms mainly with "inherited" technical equipment from the earlier large scale farms. Based on these conditions the questions are: how many farms could be competitive with Western ones and how many farms have to be operated because of employment of rural people; how the efficiency of farm assets could be increased and how many investments are necessary to develop the farms to a competitive level.

description: We perform a comparative study of the quantum and classical transport probabilities of low-energy quasiparticles ballistically traversing normal and Andreev two-dimensional open cavities with a Sinai-billiard shape. We focus on the dependence of the transport on the strength of an applied magnetic field $B$. With increasing field strength the classical dynamics changes from mixed to regular phase space. Averaging out the quantum fluctuations, we find an excellent agreement between the quantum and classical transport coefficients in the complete range of field strengths. This allows an overall description of the non-monotonic behavior of the average magnetoconductance in terms of the corresponding classical trajectories, thus, establishing a basic tool useful in the design and analysis of experiments.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: Off-farm investment as a risk management strategy is not widespread among New Zealand sheep and beef farmers. This study explores the potential for risk reduction by the diversification of farm asset portfolios to include financial investments such as industrial equities and government bonds of various types. Results show that the negative correlations between long-run rates of return on farm assets and financial investments could result in a significant reduction of risk if equities and bonds were included in farm investment portfolios. However, when combined with information about attitudes to risks, it does not seem likely that farmers would adopt such strategies purely in order to stabilise incomes. Deregulation of the New Zealand economy in the mid 1980's had little impact on farmers' optimal allocation of their assets.

At high transverse momentum (pT) a strong v2 for pi+ + pi- and p + pbar is observed. In the intermediate pT region, number-of-constituent-quark scaling was tested to high precision. A detailed comparison of v2 for the multi-strange hadrons phi, Xi + anti-Xi, and Omega + anti-Omega with other particle species substantiates the development of collectivity among partons in the early phase of the collisions at RHIC.

Evaluating the accuracy of a real-time emergency department patient arrival estimation tool
Creators: name: Robertson, Christopher R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: PurposeEvery day, Emergency Department (ED) nurse leaders must make important staffing and operational decisions to ensure each patient receives timely and quality care. However, the challenges associated with the frequent surges and dips in patient arrivals can make planning ahead a complex responsibility for even the most experienced leaders. Without a reliable strategy or model to estimate ED patient arrivals, nurse leaders will often base departmental needs on the “average” volume of patient arrivals. This approach can be effective sometimes, but there are many days when this strategy leads to ineffective resource utilization, patient safety concerns, and excessive overtime expenditure.MethodologyThis project focused on evaluating the accuracy of a real-time Emergency Department patient arrival estimation (EDPAE) tool for the Adult ED (AED) of a suburban non-profit research and teaching hospital in northern New Jersey. The EDPAE tool’s innovative approach incorporated real-time patient arrival data to generate a daily estimate of future patient arrivals. Estimates produced by the EDPAE tool were compared to those of four common ED patient arrival estimation models that were dependent on historic patient arrivals. The comparison period lasted 305 days (January 1, 2020 – October 31, 2020). Each model was evaluated for accuracy by measuring the variance of each estimate to the actual number of arrivals daily from 1:00 p.m. – 11:59 p.m.ResultsThe Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic significantly impacted AED patient arrivals for most of the comparison period. To ensure comparison was fair and objective, three approaches were adopted: 1. Comparison of all 305 days (January 1, 2020 – October 31, 2020) 2. Comparison of the 67 days before the start of the pandemic (January 1, 2020 – March 7, 2020) 3. Comparison of days during the pandemic that had a sufficient number of patient arrivals to allow a fair comparison. For each of the three comparison approaches, the EDPAE tool outperformed the four models of the comparison group by generating estimates of greater accuracy.Implications for PracticeThis project illustrated the benefits of incorporating real-time patient arrival data into models used to estimate future arrivals. Patient arrival estimation tools and models are not new concepts, but these models have traditionally been based on retrospective, time-series methodology. The EDPAE tool offers an innovative and novel alternative that can adapt to real-time variables and continue to provide useable estimates even when the traditional models cannot

We would like to have technical people from the repositories on board, so that the implementation that will be worked on could be a branch of the official code, being close to an actual implementation by the running deployment of the repositories later. Note that what we are striving for is adding an FDP API, not replacing any existing repository functionality but adding an additional way that makes repositories more semantically interoperable and machine-actionable.

description: The current accelerated universe could be produced by modified gravitational dynamics as it can be seen in particular in its Palatini formulation. We analyze here a specific non-linear gravity-scalar system in the first order Palatini formalism which leads to a FRW cosmology different from the purely metric one. It is shown that the emerging FRW cosmology may lead either to an effective quintessence phase (cosmic speed-up) or to an effective phantom phase. Moreover, the already known gravity assisted dark energy dominance occurs also in the first order formalism. Finally, it is shown that a dynamical theory able to resolve the cosmological constant problem exists also in this formalism, in close parallel with the standard metric formulation.

description: In the past agriculture has relied on the application of "end-of-pipe" or preventative solutions to environmental problems brought on by the management and production processes that it has adopted. This has led to outcomes and approaches that are single media and process or facility focused. The recent trends in the broader industrial sector have been towards the adoption of eco-efficiency approaches to environmental concerns that have a strong business focus on sustainability, look at multiple media and adopt a lifecycle and systems approach.

description: We demonstrate the use of holographic video microscopy to detect individual subvisible particles dispersed in biopharmaceutical formulations and to differentiate them based on material characteristics measured from their holograms. The result of holographic analysis is a precise and accurate measurement of the concentrations and size distributions of multiple classes of subvisible contaminants dispersed in the same product simultaneously. We demonstrate this analytical technique through measurements on model systems consisting of human IgG aggregates in the presence of common contaminants such as silicone oil emulsion droplets and fatty acids. Holographic video microscopy also clearly identifies metal particles and air bubbles. Being able to differentiate and characterize the individual components of such heterogeneous dispersions provides a basis for tracking other factors that influence the stability of protein formulations including handling and degradation of surfactant and other excipients.

description: Negotiated agreements between traditional owners and pastoralists about use and management of lands held under pastoral lease tenures in the arid and semi-arid rangelands of Australia will promote secure futures for both parties. In this paper we will discuss this assertion and the processes of agreement making we are engaged in the South Australian rangelands. First we will explain the particular meaning of the Australian jargon we use throughout this paper - traditional owner, pastoralist and pastoral lease tenure. Following this we envision what the agreements that will result from current negotiating processes will deliver and how they will work 'on the ground'. We consider some of the challenges for the negotiating process and useful roles for business and property planning as tools to shape the content of agreements.

description: LP models of Norwegian dairy farms are designed to evaluate the impact of changes inprices and subsidies on production systems and on profitability at the farm level. At 1999-prices, producing a fixed milk quota with low to moderate yielding cows (6000 to 6600 kg milk annually) is most profitable. Silage offered ad libitum is profitable. Athree cut harvesting system is more profitable than two cuts. Changes in the milk pricehave no effects on production. If forage crops is the only possible land use, increased area payments have no effects on production. If non-forage crops are also grown,increased area payments for forage crops result in a higher proportion of the land being used for temporary grass (ley) and in cheaper forage, making higher silage intake per cow profitable. Higher intake of silage achieved through supplementing less con-centrates, results in lower milk yield per cow. By increasing headage payments, milk yield falls, as it is optimal to have more cows to produce the same quota output. Reduced product and concentrate prices combined with higher area and headagepayments result in more cows and lower yields. Silage offered in a fixed ration is themost profitable option and the level of concentrates per cow is high. More land is thenused for permanent pastures and less for non-forage crops.

description: Business strategy is very important to small and medium family businesses as many are both fragile and vulnerable; strategy provides a solid foundation for survival. Various studies have identified that businesses that engage in strategic management outperform those that do not. Despite this knowledge the uptake of many aspects of strategic management by farm businesses has been slow. Although the development of business plans is now common there is often a disconnect between monitoring and strategy. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) was applied to case study farms during both the planning process and as they implemented and controlled their strategic choices to determine areas of difference that restrict or enhance it as a management tool for both family and farming businesses. The BSC was immediately applicable in the strategic management process for those businesses with current business plans. It could be used to test the degree of balance between the goals already identified in their plans. It was able to be used to critique the control measures they had in place and to determine how well they could be used to derive the causal chain from the operational level to family goals. In some instances either outcome or driver measures were recognized as being missing, in others the wiring within the balanced scorecard revealed some strategic measures without linkages.

description: We discuss spectral properties of the equatorial Podles sphere. As a preparation we also study the `degenerate' (i.e. $q=0$) case (related to the quantum disk). We consider two different spectral triples: one related to the Fock representation of the Toeplitz algebra and the isopectral one. After the identification of the smooth pre-$C^*$-algebra we compute the dimension spectrum and residues. We check the nontriviality of the (noncommutative) Chern character of the associated Fredholm modules by computing the pairing with the fundamental projector of the $C^*$-algebra (the nontrivial generator of the $K_0$-group) as well as the pairing with the $q$-analogue of the Bott projector. Finally, we show that the local index formula is trivially satisfied.

description: The South African sugar industry burns 90% of the crop at harvest while 10% is harvested green. The trend to burn cane at harvest has increased over the past twenty years, despite growing pressure from the public and environmental legislation. This paper explores the influence that public pressure and legislation are having on the practise of burning and examines the actions that the industry has implemented in order to protect the privilege of burning sugarcane at harvest. A communication model and case studies are used to illustrate the interaction between the sugar industry, government and public role players over cane burning. Communication has proved to be a key management tool that has had to be dynamic and on going in order to engage the various role players effectively. It is presumed that the advantages of burning outweigh those of trashing and it is for the nuisance rather than the health factor that the public want cane burning banned on farms adjacent to residential or tourist areas. The government, however, regards agricultural burning as a contributory factor to high air pollution levels during the winter months and expects these levels to be reduced. Will the public be able to force change to the current practice of burning cane at harvest in the South African sugar industry or will the steps taken by the industry provide adequate protection? Although favourable outcomes have been achieved, cane burning remains under pressure from the public and government.

description: The impact of cross sectional aggregation over individual retail stores on the estimation and testing of vertical price transmission between the wholesale and retail levels is investigated using a unique data set of individual retail prices in Germany. Systematic differences between the results of estimations using aggregated data on the one hand, and disaggregated data on the other, are discussed theoretically and confirmed empirically. The results suggest that estimation with aggregated data generates misleading conclusions about price transmission behavior at the level of the individual units (i.e. retail stores) that underlie these aggregates.
The Caenorhabditis elegans homologue of huntingtin interacting protein 1 has multiple roles in development

description: Endocytosis is an essential process in all eukaryotes and is involved in biological processes such as nutrient uptake and neurotransmitter recycling. Mammalian cell culture and yeast genetic studies have implicated the HIP1/SLA2 family of genes in linking the actin cytoskeleton to endocytosis. The contribution of the cytoskeleton to endocytic events is not well understood. Human HIP1 is of medical importance as it has been shown to interact with huntingtin, and may be important to the etiology of Huntington disease. Analysis of this family of genes in a metazoan animal system, such as C. elegans or Drosophila is an area that has been largely unexplored. As endocytosis is a mechanism by which cells interact with their environments, the use of an animal system may be particularly informative as it may illustrate differences between unicellular and multicellular systems. Through a combination of gene disruption and molecular characterization techniques, I have studied the function of CeHIP1, the C elegans member of the HIP1/SLA2 gene family. CeHIP1 displays postembryonic, tissue-specific expression, and has several functions in the adult animal. CeHIP1 has a role in maintaining proper morphology and function of the pharynx, the nematode feeding structure. CeHIP1 is required for promoting fertilization; gene silencing results in reduced fecundity. The locus is dose sensitive. CeHIP1 is haploinsufficient, and overexpression results in reduced viability and death of the animals. C. elegans is an excellent model to interpret the function of the human homolog HIP1. Both CeHIP1 and HIP1 show restricted expression and display dose sensitive toxic effects, inferring a shared mode of action. This thesis describes the establishment of a simple animal model that may be used to delineate pathways common to both genes. These findings may reflect the situation in humans, and perhaps point out avenues of potential treatment for Huntington disease.

description: Since edge device failures (i.e., anomalies) seriously affect the production of industrial products in Industrial IoT (IIoT), accurately and timely detecting anomalies is becoming increasingly important. Furthermore, data collected by the edge device may contain the user's private data, which is challenging the current detection approaches as user privacy is calling for the public concern in recent years. With this focus, this paper proposes a new communication-efficient on-device federated learning (FL)-based deep anomaly detection framework for sensing time-series data in IIoT. Specifically, we first introduce a FL framework to enable decentralized edge devices to collaboratively train an anomaly detection model, which can improve its generalization ability. Second, we propose an Attention Mechanism-based Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short Term Memory (AMCNN-LSTM) model to accurately detect anomalies. The AMCNN-LSTM model uses attention mechanism-based CNN units to capture important fine-grained features, thereby preventing memory loss and gradient dispersion problems. Furthermore, this model retains the advantages of LSTM unit in predicting time series data. Third, to adapt the proposed framework to the timeliness of industrial anomaly detection, we propose a gradient compression mechanism based on Top-\textit{k} selection to improve communication efficiency. Extensive experiment studies on four real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework can accurately and timely detect anomalies and also reduce the communication overhead by 50\% compared to the federated learning framework that does not use a gradient compression scheme.

WHO Dietary Norms: A Quantitative Evaluation of Potential Consumption Impacts in the United States

description: The member countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) have recently endorsed its Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health in an effort to combat the growing burden of non-communicable diseases. We assess the potential consumption impacts of these norms in the United States using a mathematical programming approach. We find that adherence to the WHO norms would involve significant changes in diets, with large reductions in the consumption of fats and oils accompanying large rises in the consumption of fruits, vegetables and cereals. Further, intakes of sugar would have to shrink considerably to comply with the WHO norms. By focusing on sub-populations within the country, we find that education is the only socio-demographic variable exerting a consistent and significant influence on the required dietary adjustments. Income, among other variables, has little effect on required adjustment levels. This implies that the least educated, not necessarily the poorest, would have to bear the highest burden of adjustment; and that nutritional policy based on information provision and labelling might prove difficult while policy based on fiscal measures may not be as skewed against the poor as popularly believed.
