Climatic changes

description: The time series of annual streamflow of four rivers in southeastern and south-central South America (the Negro, Paraguay, Paraná, and Uruguay Rivers) for the period 1911–93 are analyzed. Application of the multitaper method shows that the following features are significant at the 95% level: 1) a nonlinear trend, 2) a near-decadal component, and 3) interannual peaks with ENSO timescales. The trend and near-decadal components are most marked in the two more central rivers, the Paraguay and Paraná, with ENSO timescale variability most pronounced in the Negro and Uruguay rivers in the southeast. Composites of SST are made for each of the statistically significant oscillatory components of river flow, by reconstructing each component using singular spectrum analysis. These composites confirm the influence of ENSO on the streamflow variability of the Negro and Uruguay Rivers, with El Niño associated with enhanced streamflow. On the decadal timescale, high river runoff is associated with anomalously cool SSTs over the tropical North Atlantic. A very similar near-decadal oscillation in SST over this region is identified separately from a rotated empirical orthogonal function analysis of gridded annual mean SSTs. The near-decadal component of the Paraguay and Paraná Rivers is strongest in the austral summer.

description: A defining moment in the global AIDS response has been reached. The discourse is no longer about HIV prevention or HIV treatment; it is now about HIV control through the implementation of antiretrovirals as key components of combination interventions. Barely a year ago, visions of HIV control would have been considered far-fetched. The impetus for this change in mindset, which has been building since the XVIII International AIDS Conference in Vienna last year, emanates from the compelling evidence that antiretroviral drugs prevent HIV infection in the general heterosexual population, which is released this week and presented at the 6th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention in Rome by the Partners PrEP and Botswana TDF2 trials.

Interannual and Interdecadal Variability of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone
Creators: name: Robertson, Andrew W.
name: Mechoso, Carlos R.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2000
Subjects: Atmosphere

description: Interannual variations of the summertime (January–March) atmospheric circulation over subtropical South America are examined during the period 1958–97 using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis data. It is found from an empirical orthogonal function analysis that an anomalous upper-tropospheric large-scale stationary eddy in the lee of the Andes tends to accompany a dipole in anomalous vertical motion. An anomalous cyclonic (anticyclonic) eddy accompanies an intensified (diffuse) South Atlantic convergence zone (SACZ), with anomalous descent (ascent) to the southwest. The cold-core equivalent barotropic vertical structure of the anomalous cyclonic eddy and the 200-hPa vorticity balance are both characteristic of a stationary Rossby wave; the tendency for the eddy to be advected downstream by the mean westerlies is compensated by meridional advection of planetary vorticity and stretching associated with vertical motion. The anomalous cyclonic flow at low levels reinforces the thermally direct circulation associated with the SACZ. A weak funneling of submonthly Rossby wave activity into this descent region is also identified. The interannual time series of the eddy is significantly correlated with north–south dipolar sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the southwest Atlantic; one standard deviation 200-hPa wind speed anomalies of up to 5 m s−1 are accompanied by SST anomalies of up to 0.3°C. A near-cyclic 15-yr component is identified, which the authors corroborate from independent analyses of southwest Atlantic SSTs and river flows; both are found to exhibit very similar oscillatory components. When the SACZ is intensified, the Paraná and Paraguay rivers in southern Brazil tend to swell, while the Uruguay and Negro rivers to the south tend to ebb; this north–south contrast in streamflow anomalies is most marked on the interdecadal timescale.

description: We consider correlation functions of the stress-tensor or a conserved current in AdS_{d+1}/CFT_d computed using the Hilbert or the Yang-Mills action in the bulk. We introduce new recursion relations to compute these correlators at tree level. These relations have an advantage over the BCFW-like relations described in arXiv:1102.4724 and arXiv:1011.0780 because they can be used in all dimensions including d=3. We also introduce a new method of extracting flat-space S-matrix elements from AdS/CFT correlators in momentum space. We show that the (d+1)-dimensional flat-space amplitude of gravitons or gluons can be obtained as the coefficient of a particular singularity of the d-dimensional correlator of the stress-tensor or a conserved current; this technique is valid even at loop-level in the bulk. Finally, we show that our recursion relations automatically generate correlators that are consistent with this observation: they have the expected singularity and the flat-space gluon or graviton amplitude appears as its coefficient.

Circulation Regimes and Low-Frequency Oscillations in the South Pacific Sector

Year: 2003
Subjects: Atmospheric circulation

description: The characteristics of subseasonal circulation variability over the South Pacific are examined using 10-day lowpass-filtered 700-hPa geopotential height NCEP–NCAR reanalysis data. The extent to which the variability in each season is characterized by recurrent geographically fixed circulation regimes and/or oscillatory behavior is determined. Two methods of analysis (a K-means cluster analysis and a cross-validated Gaussian mixture model) both indicate three to four geographically fixed circulation regimes in austral fall, winter, and (to some extent) spring. The spatial regime structures are found to be quite similar in each season; they resemble the so-called Pacific–South American (PSA) patterns discussed in previous studies and often referred to as PSA 1 and PSA 2. Oscillatory behavior is investigated using singular spectrum analysis. This identifies a predominantly stationary wave with a period of about 40 days and a spatial structure similar to PSA 1; it is most pronounced in winter and spring and exhibits a noticeable eastward drift as it decays. The power spectrum of variability is otherwise well approximated by a red spectrum, together with enhanced broader-band 15–30-day variability. The results presented herein indicate that low-frequency variability over the South Pacific is not dominated by a propagating wave whose quadrature phases are PSA 1 and PSA 2, as hitherto described. Rather, it is found that the variability is well described by the occurrence of three to four geographically fixed circulation regimes, with a (near) 40-day oscillation that is predominantly stationary in space. The potential subseasonal predictability implied by this duality is discussed. Only during austral spring is a strong correlation found between El Niño and the frequency of occurrence of the circulation regimes.

Opportunistic screening for iron-deficiency in 6–36 month old children presenting to the paediatric emergency department
Creators: name: Pusic, Martin

description: Background: The Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a test frequently performed on children presenting to the Pediatric Emergency Department (PED), usually for the evaluation of an infectious illness. The CBC also allows for screening for Iron-deficiency Anemia. This study aims to determine the prevalence of a low Mean Cell Volume (MCV) in children having a CBC performed during a PED visit and whether physicians acted upon the abnormal value. Methods: We present a retrospective cohort study. We reviewed the PED charts of all children 6–36 months of age who had a CBC performed during a 4-month period and the red blood cell mean cell volume was low. Our main outcome variable was whether or not the possible iron deficiency was addressed through documentation of either iron therapy or further investigation. Results: 938 children had a CBC performed during the two periods. Of these, 78 (8%) had an abnormal MCV or Hemoglobin with no previously identified explanation. Physicians documented either treatment or follow-up investigations in 27 cases (35%, 95% CI: 24–46%). Factors associated with the physician documenting either treatment or investigation plan were the following: hemoglobin level (OR 12.6; 95%CI: 4.0, 39) and age ≤ 18 months (OR 4.2; 95%CI: 1.4, 13). Conclusion: Children who have had a CBC in the PED can be screened for iron deficiency at no additional cost. Physicians may be under-utilizing this information.
Transient-Eddy Feedbacks Derived from Linear Theory and Observations

description: Linear baroclinic instability theory is used to investigate the subweekly time scale transient eddies (TEs) and their feedbacks associated with three-dimensional basic flows on the Northern Hemisphere, in terms of a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model. We consider an eight-winter time–mean flow as well as four composites of North Atlantic large-scale quasi-stationary patterns. The structures of the two fastest-growing normal modes associated with the eight-winter climatology are found to compare very well in many aspects with the leading complex empirical orthogonal functions (CEOFs) of the observed bandpass filtered flow, with pattern correlations up to 0.65; although the normal modes are less localized than the CEOFs. The barotropic feedback implied by the linear modes is also found to compare quite reasonably with the observations, especially over the west Atlantic, but the baroclinic (negative) feedback is less well represented. Composites coresponding to blocking (BL), zonal (ZO), Greenland anticyclone (GA), and Atlantic ridge (AR) weather regimes are next used to define basic states and composite maps of TE feedback. In all four cases the principal displacements of TE activity over the North Atlantic are captured by the fastest-growing Atlantic cyclogenesis modes. The structure of the barotropic feedback associated with the quasi-stationary anomalies is also reasonably simulated by the linear modes in many respects in the BL and ZO cases, but in the GA and AR cases the linear model is less successful.

description: We develop an analytic formalism that allows one to quantify the stability properties of X-type and Y-type junctions in domain wall networks in two dimensions. A similar approach might be applicable to more general defect systems involving junctions that appear in a range of physical situations, for example, in the context of F- and D-type strings in string theory. We apply this formalism to a particular field theory, Carter's pentavac model, where the strength of the symmetry breaking is governed by the parameter $|ε|< 1$. We find that for low values of the symmetry breaking parameter X-type junctions will be stable, whereas for higher values an X-type junction will separate into two Y-type junctions. The critical angle separating the two regimes is given by α_c = 293^{\circ}\sqrt{|ε|}$ and this is confirmed using simple numerical experiments. We go on to simulate the pentavac model from random initial conditions and we find that the dominant junction is of \ytype for $|ε| \geq 0.02$ and is of \xtype for $|ε| \leq 0.02$. We also find that for small $ε$ the evolution of the number of domain walls $\qsubrm{N}{dw}$ in Minkowski space does not follow the standard $\propto t^{-1}$ scaling law with the deviation from the standard lore being more pronounced as $ε$ is decreased. The presence of dissipation appears to restore the $t^{-1}$ lore.

description: Contract farming (CF) is a pre-output agreement between agricultural producers and buyers. CF helps to integrate farmers in developing countries to global agricultural value chains (Barrett et al. 2012). But research also shows that value chain intermediary agents acquire superior earnings than farmers. This study employs a Bayesian zero-one-inflated beta regression model to analyzes determinants of farmer’s decision to sell zero or some output in CF.

description: The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) exhibits extreme morphological variability at the continental scale. Today, four subspecies are recognized based on morphological characteristics, with three subspecies distributed in the West-Central African region and the last one covering the Southern and the Eastern African regions. Based on the mtDNA D-Loop region and on more than 42,000 SNP genetic markers (Single-Nucleotide-Polymorphism), the present study aimed to investigate the evolutionary history of the species by inferring the pan-African spatial distribution of its genetic diversity. All analyses converged on the existence of two distinct lineages, corresponding to a group encompassing West and Central African populations and a group encompassing East and Southern African populations. The former is currently assigned to two to three subspecies (S. c. nanus, S. c. brachyceros, S. c. aequinoctialis) and the latter to a separate subspecies (S. c. caffer). 42% of the total amount of genetic diversity is explained by the between-lineage component, with one to seventeen female migrants per generation inferred as consistent with the isolation-with-migration model. The divergence time was estimated to have occurred during the late to middle Pleistocene, followed by a population expansion in both lineages, adapting morphologically to colonize new habitats, hence developing the variety of ecophenotypes observed today. At the regional scale, 8 populations distributed within these two lineages could be identified, resulting from more recent fragmentation processes. The two main lineages is a structuration that reflects common evolutionary responses to environmental changes within savanna mammals and can be observed within almost all species with a large distribution pattern as for example the waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus), the hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus), or the roan (Hippotragus equinus).

description: In Ethiopia information on post-harvest storage of wheat grain is not well documented. Hermetic storage methods are being promoted. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of hermetic storage methods on the performance of stored wheat with full factorial design with triplication. The experiment consisted of six storage methods namely metal silos, Purdue Improved Grain Storage bag, Super GrainPro bag, Plastic drum, Triplex applied to wheat in Plastic drum, and polypropylene bag as control. Percentage of grain damage, weight loss percentage, thousand kernel weight, bulk density, live insect counts, dead insect counts, moisture content, water activity were determined after one year of storage. The ANOVA was determined by factorial using R software. Results indicated that storage methods such as PICS, Super GrainPro bags, Triplex applied to drum plastic, and plastic drums led to a significantly (P<0.05) lower levels of insect infestation, moisture content, and water activity compared to the control and the metal silo. Moisture content and water activity were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the metal silo compared to other hermetic storage methods and the control. The percentage of weight loss and percentage of grain damage were significantly lower in hermetic storage containers compared to the control. Hermetic storage methods including triplex powder applied to plastic drum can extended the stored wheat more than a year with a minimum damage and loss of wheat grain.

description: Type 1 interferons (IFNs) induce the expression of the tripartite interaction motif (TRIM) family of E3 ligases, but the contribution of these antiviral factors to HIV pathogenesis is not completely understood. We hypothesized that the increased expression of select type 1 IFN and TRIM isoforms is associated with a significantly lower likelihood of HIV-1 acquisition and viral control during primary HIV-1 infection. We measured IFN-α, IFN-β, myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA), human TRIM5α (huTRIM5α), and TRIM22 mRNA levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of high-risk, HIV-1-uninfected participants and HIV-1-positive study participants. Samples were available for 32 uninfected subjects and 28 infected persons, all within 1 year of infection. HIV-1-positive participants had higher levels of IFN-β (P = 0.0005), MxA (P = 0.007), and TRIM22 (P = 0.01) and lower levels of huTRIM5α (P < 0.001) than did HIV-1-negative participants. TRIM22 but not huTRIM5α correlated positively with type 1 IFN (IFN-α, IFN-β, and MxA) (all P < 0.0001). In a multivariate model, increased MxA expression showed a significant positive association with viral load (P = 0.0418). Furthermore, TRIM22 but not huTRIM5α, IFN-α, IFN-β, or MxA showed a negative correlation with plasma viral load (P = 0.0307) and a positive correlation with CD4+ T-cell counts (P = 0.0281). In vitro studies revealed that HIV infection induced TRIM22 expression in PBMCs obtained from HIV-negative donors. Stable TRIM22 knockdown resulted in increased HIV-1 particle release and replication in Jurkat reporter cells. Collectively, these data suggest concordance between type 1 IFN and TRIM22 but not huTRIM5α expression in PBMCs and that TRIM22 likely acts as an antiviral effector in vivo.

We also discuss the relationship for the bulk system by observing the change of the spectral asymmetry. We finally present an effective continuum model with O(2) gauge potential which shows a topological change of the index at a half-flux.

description: Введение. Современная тенденция — увеличение поступления женщин на службу в органы внутренних дел. Период профессионального обучения становится значимым этапом в подготовке сотрудников ОВД, особенно для женщин при обучении их стрельбе из табельного оружия. Целью исследования являются рассмотрение роли психологических установок и определение их связи с физиологическими процессами в период профессионального обучения женщин — сотрудников ОВД стрельбе из табельного оружия. Методы и материалы. Проведен анализ наиболее распространенных переживаний при подготовке к работе с табельным оружием. Для диагностики стресса на личностном уровне была использована «Шкала удовлетворенности жизнью» Э. Динера (Леонтьев, Осин, 2003). Результаты и обсуждение. У женщин эмоциональная сфера более выражена, но при этом благодаря личностному ресурсу они пытаются балансировать стрессовую ситуацию, которая развивается у них во время стрельбы из табельного оружия. Личностный ресурс помогает сдерживать развитие ситуативной стрессовой реакции при стрельбе на психофизиологическом уровне. Основной период обучения женщин стрельбе из табельного оружия составляет первые три недели, именно тогда формируются психологические установки на обучение и процессы саморегуляции организма. Выводы. При обучении стрельбе из табельного оружия следует уделять внимание роли психологических установок для формирования профессиональных знаний в целях закрепления бессознательного состояния, выражающего готовность совершить действие в соответствии со служебной ситуацией.

Kinetic theory of Onsager's vortices in two-dimensional hydrodynamics
Creators: name: Chavanis, Pierre-Henri
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Starting from the Liouville equation, and using a BBGKY-like hierarchy, we derive a kinetic equation for the point vortex gas in two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamics, taking two-body correlations and collective effects into account. This equation is valid at the order 1/N where N>>1 is the number of point vortices in the system (we assume that their individual circulation scales like γ~ 1/N). It gives the first correction, due to graininess and correlation effects, to the 2D Euler equation that is obtained for $N\rightarrow +\infty$. For axisymmetric distributions, this kinetic equation does not relax towards the Boltzmann distribution of statistical equilibrium. This implies either that (i) the "collisional" (correlational) relaxation time is larger than Nt_D, where t_D is the dynamical time, so that three-body, four-body... correlations must be taken into account in the kinetic theory, or (ii) that the point vortex gas is non-ergodic (or does not mix well) and will never attain statistical equilibrium. Non-axisymmetric distributions may relax towards the Boltzmann distribution on a timescale of the order Nt_D due to the existence of additional resonances, but this is hard to prove from the kinetic theory. On the other hand, 2D Euler unstable vortex distributions can experience a process of "collisionless" (correlationless) violent relaxation towards a non-Boltzmannian quasistationary state (QSS) on a very short timescale of the order of a few dynamical times. This QSS is possibly described by the Miller-Robert-Sommeria (MRS) statistical theory which is the counterpart, in the context of two-dimensional hydrodynamics, of the Lynden-Bell statistical theory of violent relaxation in stellar dynamics.

description: Forschungsziel war es, eine Testbatterie zur Früherkennung eines idiopathischen Parkinsonsyndroms (IPS) bei Patienten mit Depression zu entwickeln und etablieren. Die Depression stellt einen Risikomarker für das IPS dar. Es erfolgte eine Langzeit-Verlaufsuntersuchung der Probanden über 10 Jahre. Die Kombination aus klinischen Tests, transkranieller Hirnsonografie und anamnestischen Risikofaktoren ist nach unseren Ergebnissen ein vielversprechender Ansatz für zukünftige Screeninguntersuchungen.
High-Activity Perturbation Expansion for the Hard Square Lattice Gas

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study a system of particles with nearest and next-nearest-neighbour exclusion on the square lattice (hard squares). This system undergoes a transition from a fluid phase at low density to a columnar ordered phase at high density. We develop a systematic high-activity perturbation expansion for the free energy per site about a state with perfect columnar order. We show that the different terms of the series can be regrouped to get a Mayer-like series for a polydisperse system of interacting vertical rods in which the $n$-th term is of order $z^{-(n+1)/2}$, where $z$ is the fugacity associated with each particle. We sum this series to get the exact expansion to order $1/z^{3/2}$.

description: Введение. Категории нравственности и морали в обществе всегда относились к сакральным ценностям человеческого существования. Вопросы охраны признаваемых в обществе ценностей особенно обостряются в настоящее время в условиях разразившейся пандемии коронавируса и позволяют переоценить роль государства в обеспечении прав личности, когда вводятся новые ограничительные меры, направленные на устранение возникающих в связи с этим угроз. Материалы и методы. В ходе исследования проинтервьюировано 178 граждан, из них 42 сотрудника различных служб и подразделений полиции, осуществляющих функции по защите общественной нравственности. Применение системного метода позволило создать целостную картину совершенствования правового регулирования в сфере общественной нравственности. Результаты и обсуждение. Особенность этой сферы отношений проявляется в формировании ее социумом на протяжении длительного временного промежутка с учетом социальных, культурных, религиозных традиций и обычаев. Для этих отношений недопустимо директивное воздействие на них публичных структур. Однако это не означает, что нравственность, мораль выпадают из сферы правового регулирования. Выводы. Взаимодействие органов публичной власти с гражданским обществом осуществляется с помощью правовых средств по воспитанию молодого поколения, формирования поведения граждан в соответствии с законодательно установленными требованиями, предполагающими и устранение последствий факторов, негативно влияющих на нравственность.

description: Domestication attempts to breed elands as cattle have been documented since the first half of last century. Based on mild temperament and similarities to cattle, elands were recommended for intensive husbandry. Our aim was to investigate fattening performance, physical, chemical and sensory characteristics of elands (Taurotragus oryx) bulls and Fleckvieh (Bos taurus, a Simmental type dual-purpose breed) bulls. Both species were finished at comparable slaughter weight under controlled conditions of feeding (mixed diets based on maize, Lucerne silages and cereal straw) and management in the Czech Republic. Elands were slaughtered at a live weight of 414.2 kg (s.d. 47.5 kg) and age at slaughter 1112 days (s.d. 138 days) and cattle at average live weight of 573.0 kg (s.d. 17.0 kg) and an average slaughter age 458 days (s.d. 39 days). Musculus longissimus lumborum from eland was darker and less yellow in colour, with a higher pH and lower contents of intramuscular fat and total collagen, compared to cattle. Contents (mg/100 g muscle tissue) and proportions (g/100 g of FA determined) of SFA and MUFA were higher in cattle. Although the proportion of total PUFA was higher in eland, contents of PUFA were similar between species. Grilled beef steaks (until an internal temperature of 70°C was reached) were consistently scored higher for sensory texture characteristics, juiciness, flavour, and overall acceptance. We concluded that bulls of eland provided low-fat meat with a beneficial fatty acid composition from a human nutrition perspective, but with lower sensory scores, compared to bull beef. It can be influenced also by higher slaughter age of elands or by relatively high final internal temperature after grilling. Therefore, eland production potential under intensive husbandry can be reasonable recently only when customers will accept higher price of eland meat or in longer perspective will be possible to improve fattening performance by improvement of diet and selection of breeding stock for higher weight gain.
