description: Improving agricultural output and food security is a major concern in sub-Saharan Africa, but many efforts to help farmers improve yields have failed. Recent research has shown that agriculture inputs are often of very low quality, which may explain suboptimal yields and low adoption of inputs. Researchers and policy makers have focused on two main explanations for this low quality: sellers purposefully faking or adulterating inputs, and poor storage processes along the supply chain. We present the results of testing seeds along the maize supply chain in Uganda for purity, germination and genetic similarity. We obtain two main results. First, we find no evidence that quality of seeds deteriorates along the supply chain. As soon as the seeds leave the breeders, the quality drops significantly and is the same across all geographic areas and types of suppliers, including wholesalers, retailers and major company outlets. Second, we do not find evidence of serious seed faking or adulteration. In fact, we find high levels of seed purity across all levels of the supply chain. Quality appears to be the main issue, not whether the seeds are pure. The results are consistent with mishandling and poor storage of seeds, possibly related to temperature control once the seeds leave the breeders. These results have potentially significant implications on agriculture policy and programming in sub-Saharan Africa, which has tended to focus on certification to reduce the possibility of adulteration rather than improve handling of inputs.

description: We calculate the near-field optical spectra of excitons and biexcitons in semiconductor quantum dots naturally occurring at interface fluctuations in GaAs-based quantum wells, using a non-local description of the response function to a spatially modulated electro-magnetic field. The relative intensity of the lowest, far-field forbidden excitonic states is predicted; the spatial extension of the ground biexciton state is found in agreement with recently published experiments.

description: In this paper we present a coherent timing analysis of the 401 Hz pulsations of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 during its 2019 outburst. Using observations collected with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), we establish the pulsar spin frequency and orbital phase during its latest epoch. We find that the 2019 outburst shows a pronounced evolution in pulse phase over the course of the outburst. These phase shifts are found to correlate with the source flux, and are interpreted in terms of hot-spot drift on the stellar surface, driven by changes in the mass accretion rate. Additionally, we find that the long-term evolution of the pulsar spin frequency shows evidence for a modulation at the Earth's orbital period, enabling pulsar timing based astrometry of this accreting millisecond pulsar.

description: Charge density waves are thought to be common in two-dimensional electron systems in quantizing magnetic fields. Such phases are formed by the quasiparticles of the topmost occupied Landau level when it is partially filled. One class of charge density wave phases can be described as electron solids. In weak magnetic fields (at high Landau levels) solids with many particles per unit cell - bubble phases - predominate. In strong magnetic fields (at the lowest Landau level) only crystals with one particle per unit cell - Wigner crystals - can form. Experimental identification of these phases is facilitated by the fact that even a weak disorder influences their dc and ac magnetotransport in a very specific way. In the ac domain, a range of frequencies appears where the electromagnetic response is dominated by magnetophonon collective modes. The effect of disorder is to localize the collective modes and to create an inhomogeneously broadened absorption line, the pinning mode. In recent microwave experiments pinning modes have been discovered both at the lowest and at high Landau levels. We present the theory of the pinning mode for a classical two-dimensional electron crystal collectively pinned by weak impurities. We show that long-range Coulomb interaction causes a dramatic line narrowing, in qualitative agreement with the experiments.

description: CHLORODONTOPERA WARREN
The genus Chlorodontopera is characterized by the following characters: both fore- and hindwings have large, rounded discal spots, which are larger on the hindwing; a dull reddish-brown patch is present between the discal spot and the costa on the hindwing; in the male genitalia, the socii are stout and setose and the lateral arms of the gnathos are developed, not joined; sternite 3 of the male has setal patches; and veins M 3 and CuA 1 are unstalked on the hindwing. Inoue (1961) suggested that Chlorodontopera is more or less related to Aracima, but he hesitated to place it in the tribe Aracimini. Chlorodontopera was placed in Nemoriini by Hausmann (1996) and in Aracimini by Holloway (1996), followed by Han & Xue (2011a). Prout (1920 –41) referred to the similar morphological characters of Chlorodontopera and Euxena Warren. Later, Holloway (1996) compared Chlorodontopera and Euxena, showing that both genera have similar wing patterns but different genitalia. In this study, Chlorodontopera is sister to the clade including Neohipparchini, Aracimini, Nemoriini, Synchlorini, Comibaenini, Timandromorphini and Geometrini. Chlorodontopera is not related to Aracimini and, therefore, can be excluded from that tribe. Given isolated position, the designation of a new tribe, perhaps including the genus Euxena, is probably appropriate. Further study is needed to confirm a close relationship between these two genera.

description: This dissertation deals with the reception of the Gospel narratives of the Passion of Jesus by film and television. The Passion of Jesus is described in all three Synoptic Gospels and John. This research focuses on the examination of the Gospel of Mark, as this is considered the oldest and therefore the closest in time to the events of the Passion. The dissertation begins with the introduction, with reference to the Gospel According to Mark in contemporary research, then refers to the narrative criticism of contemporary research and the reception of Gospel by cinema. Finally, the introduction concludes with a reference to the narrative of the Passion and its Sources. In the first part of the dissertation, the Gospel text is approached over time and with the help of the historical-critical method. Then, in the second part, the Gospel text is approached simultaneously, with the narrative criticism. Finally, in the third part of the dissertation, the TV series "Christ is re-crucified" is analyzed narratively in comparison with the homonymous work of N. Kazantzakis. A reference is first made to the timeline of the television transfer, to the plot of the play, to the historical context of the narrative, to the structure and the characters. Next, we examined in detail the 18 episodes of the television transfer compared to the narrative of the book of the same name. The dissertation concludes with the final conclusions of the research.

description: Exposure to Aspergillus conidia is an increased risk factor for the development of respiratory symptoms. The emergence of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus is a major concern for the scientific community. The aim of this study was to perform the molecular identification of Aspergillus species collected from different occupational and non-occupational indoor settings and to study the azole susceptibility profile of the collected Fumigati isolates. The selected Aspergillus isolates were identified as belonging to the sections Fumigati, Nigri Versicolores, Terrei, Clavati and Nidulantes. All the Aspergillus fumigatus were screened for azole resistance using an agar media supplemented with itraconazole, voriconazole and posaconazole. None of the tested isolates showed resistance to those azoles. Knowledge of Aspergillus epidemiology in specific indoor environments allows a better risk characterization regarding Aspergillus burden. This study allowed the analysis of the molecular epidemiology and the determination of the susceptibility pattern of Aspergillus section Fumigati found in the studied indoor settings.

description: We discuss how to incorporate non-supersymmetric branes in compactifications of type II string theories. We particularly focus on flux compactifications on $SU(3)\times SU(3)$ structure manifolds to four dimensions, so that a linear $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry is spontaneously broken by spacetime filling Dp-branes. Anti-Dp-branes are a very special subset of such branes but our analysis is generic. We show that the backreaction of non-supersymmetric branes can be incorporated into the standard 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity by including a nilpotent chiral multiplet. Supersymmetry in such setups is always spontaneously broken and non-linearly realized. In particular this means that, contrary to what was previously thought, brane supersymmetry breaking cannot be simply described by a D-term in 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity theories.

description: The extreme poor in America face significant problems in their daily lives. We explore the role of social capital in a homeless community in eastern Connecticut. While researchers have studied social capital in homeless populations using qualitative methods, there is very little quantitative evidence of if or how well the homeless trust other homeless people or are trusted by the nonhomeless in their communities. We explore the questions of altruism and trust within and between homeless people using behavioral games commonly used in economic research. We find that individuals currently experiencing homelessness are more trusting in general, compared to individuals not currently experiencing homelessness. We also find that those who are not currently homeless, but have been in the past, are more trusting of the homeless population than the non-homeless. We argue that these results have important policy implications and that economists and other social scientists should work more with the extreme poor to understand their constraints and needs.

description: NEOHIPPARCHINI
Inoue (1961) established Neohipparchus, into which he placed three species from Prout’s section C of Hipparchus. He placed the genus into a new tribe, Neohipparchini, separating it from Geometrini. Species of Chloroglyphica were placed in section D of Hipparchus (Prout, 1920 –41).
Hausmann (1996) synonymized Neohipparchini with Geometrini and stated that the ansa of the tympanal organ in Neohipparchus and Chlororithra shares a similar structure with that of Tanaorhinus. Holloway (1996) treated Neohipparchini (as Neohipparchiti) as a separate tribe, mentioning that Neohipparchus shares similar venation and facies with Geometrini. Han & Xue (2011a) placed both Neohipparchus and Chloroglyphica in Geometrini, without placing Chlororithra in any known tribe.
Our results support Neohipparchus + Chloroglyphica + Chlororithra comprising Neohipparchini, whereas a close relationship between Neohipparchini and Geometrini is not supported. Although the two species of Chlororithra are externally different from Neohipparchus and Chloroglyphica, considering the similar ansa structure mentioned by Hausmann, and that Chlororithra shares the presence of both uncus and socii with some species of Neohipparchus, it is better to put Chlororithra in Neohipparchini.
Hausmann (1996) implied a possible homology between Neohipparchus and Iotaphora based on the presence of a stout external spine on the aedeagus. Members of Iotaphora are characterized by short radial lines outside the postmedial line on both the fore- and hindwings. The male genitalia of Iotaphora are also similar to those of Chlororithra, as they possess a similarly developed uncus and socii. Hausmann (1996) placed this genus in Geometrini together with Chlororithra. Beljaev (2016) put Iotaphora in Pseudoterpnini. Han & Xue (2011a) did not place Iotaphora into any known tribe. In this analysis, a close relationship between Iotaphora and Neohipparchus is not supported, and the position of Iotaphora is not resolved.

description: This paper analyses the fluctuation of interest on the public debt, as one of the oldest kinds of transfers which is closely related to the indebtedness of the state. The analysis of the expenditure dynamics for interest on public debt covers the period between 2003 and 2013. The goal of this research is to point out the efficiency of the activity of the economic policy within the analyzed period based on the relative changes in the transfer volume and the structure of the interest repayment, as well as to make certain projections for the future. Based on the analysis conducted, it was concluded that the fall of economic activity in 2009 had a significant effect on debt, which caused a drastic increase of the interest repayment transfers in the following years.

description: A good qubit must have a coherence time long enough for gate operations to be performed. Avoided level crossings allow for clock transitions in which coherence is enhanced by the insensitivity of the transition to fluctuations in external fields. Because of this insensitivity, it is not obvious how to effectively couple qubits together while retaining clock-transition behavior. Here we present a scheme for using a heterodimer of two coupled molecular nanomagnets, each with a clock transition at zero magnetic field, in which all of the gate operations needed to implement one- and two-qubit gates can be implemented with pulsed radio-frequency radiation. We show that given realistic coupling strengths between the nanomagnets in the dimer, good gate fidelities ($\sim$99.4\%) can be achieved. We identify the primary sources of error in implementing gates and discuss how these may be mitigated, and investigate the range of coherence times necessary for such a system to be a viable platform for implementing quantum computing protocols.

title: Assessment of Vascular Reactivity Changes in Insulin Resistance and their Role in Blood Pressure Elevation
Creators: name: Curwen, Jon Owen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the link between changes in vascular reactivity and blood pressure in genetic and induced animal models of insulin resistance. Initially, the suitability of a pithed preparation to study vascular reactivity was established.

 Attempts were made to alter the insulin sensitivity and hence the vascular reactivity of a group of AP Wistar rats by placing the animals on a high fat diet. The diet failed to alter the vascular reactivity of the animals tested. Further studies in different rat strains using different diets would be needed to properly investigate the effects of an induced insulin resistant state.

 It was found that the insulin resistant obese AP Zucker rat had an increased vascular reactivity compared to the lean, insulin sensitive, AP Zucker rat. It was also found that the obese rat was hypertensive compared to the lean rat, although the difference in blood pressure was slight.

 Pioglitazone, an insulin sensitising agent, decreased both blood pressure and vascular reactivity in the obese Zucker rat. However, despite having mild hypotensive effects, pioglitazone had no effect on the vascular reactivity of either the lean AP Zucker rat, the AP Wistar rat or the AP Spontaneously Hypertensive rat.

 Two other insulin sensitising agents, vanadyl sulphate and ZD2079 (a β3-adrenoceptor agonist) failed to alter the vascular reactivity of either lean or obese AP Zucker rats. This confounded the results obtained when using the other insulin sensitising agent pioglitazone.

 Overall, these results indicate a strong association between insulin resistance, vascular reactivity and increased blood pressure but a direct cause and effect relationship has been difficult to demonstrate.

Όλα τα παραπάνω αναμένεται να τροφοδοτήσουν περισσότερους ερευνητές στο μέλλον να διερευνήσουν πιθανές επιπτώσεις αυτών των οικολογικών αλληλεπιδράσεων σε κοινωνίες πρωτευόντων σήμερα αλλά και στο παρελθόν.
description: The aim of the present work is to explore the ecological diversity of the Plio-Pleistocene cercopithecids of Europe, by analyzing their dietary ecology, which will contribute to the knowledge of the evolution of Cercopithecidae in the area of European region during the studied time period. This was achieved by using the combined application of two methodologies: dental topographic - enamel thickness analysis and dental microwear texture analysis. The study is focused on four fossil taxa, Mesopithecus monspessulanus, Dolichopithecus, Paradolichopithecus and Macaca, and the studied fossil material derives from several institutional and museum collections across Europe. The results of this work are expected to increase the overall amount of information regarding the ecological background of the fossil Cercopithecidae from Europe, and further contribute to the better understanding of how ecological processes such as interspecific competition for space and resources may have influenced the evolution of this primate family in this geographic region. All these are expected to fuel more researchers to investigate the potential effects of these ecological interactions in past and present day primate habitats.

description: Using magnetoresistance measurements as a function of applied magnetic field and its direction of application, we present sharp angular-dependent magnetoresistance oscillations for the electron-doped cuprates in their low-temperature non-metallic regime. The presence of irreversibility in the magnetoresistance measurements and the related strong anisotropy of the field dependence for different in-plane magnetic field orientations indicate that magnetic domains play an important role for the determination of electronic properties. These domains are likely related to the stripe phase reported previously in hole-doped cuprates.

description: Recently, we introduced PLanetary Atmospheric Tool for Observer Noobs (PLATON), a Python package that calculates model transmission spectra for exoplanets and retrieves atmospheric characteristics based on observed spectra. We now expand its capabilities to include the ability to compute secondary eclipse depths. We have also added the option to calculate models using the correlated-$k$ method for radiative transfer, which improves accuracy without sacrificing speed. Additionally, we update the opacities in PLATON--many of which were generated using old or proprietary line lists--using the most recent and complete public line lists. These opacities are made available at R=1000 and R=10,000 over the 0.3--30 um range, and at R=375,000 in select near IR bands, making it possible to utilize PLATON for ground-based high resolution cross correlation studies. To demonstrate PLATON's new capabilities, we perform a retrieval on published HST and Spitzer transmission and emission spectra of the archetypal hot Jupiter HD 189733b. This is the first joint transit and secondary eclipse retrieval for this planet in the literature, as well as the most comprehensive set of both transit and eclipse data assembled for a retrieval to date. We find that these high signal-to-noise data are well-matched by atmosphere models with a C/O ratio of $0.66_{-0.09}^{+0.05}$ and a metallicity of $12_{-5}^{+8}$ times solar where the terminator is dominated by extended nanometer-sized haze particles at optical wavelengths. These are among the smallest uncertainties reported to date for an exoplanet, demonstrating both the power and the limitations of HST and Spitzer exoplanet observations.

description: Objective: Numerous epidemiological studies have reported relevance of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases with short-term exposure to environmental temperature. In this study, we examined the hypothesis between temperature indices and hospital admission because of cardiovascular diseases. Methods: The daily number of CVDs was obtained from all hospitals of the Sabzevar city. A semi-parametric generalized additive model (GAM) following a quasi-Poisson distribution with distributed lag non-linear model (dlnm) was selected as a modeling framework for time-series analysis. Results: The overall CVD risk comparing the 1st percentile and the 99th percentile relative to the mean temperature (at lag 0) was 1.33 (95% CI, 1.11: 1.61), and 1.34 (95% CI, 1.10: 1.64), respectively. For all indicators, the extremely cold effects persisted for the initial 7 days. Conclusions: Our results suggest that extremely cold and extremely hot temperatures increase the relative risk of cardiovascular diseases.

description: We consider an integral series f(X,t) which depends on the choice of a set X of labelled planar rooted trees. We prove that its inverse for composition is of the form f(Z,t) for another set Z of trees, deduced from X. The proof is self-contained, though inspired by the Koszul duality theory of quadratic operads.

description: ARACIMINI
Inoue (1961) erected the tribe Aracimini, including only Aracima. Holloway (1996) placed another four genera, Paramaxates, Dooabia, Euxena and Chlorodontopera, in Aracimini, but he also noted the differences among them and suggested that these four genera are probably best placed in the vicinity of Geometrini, this was also mentioned in Hausmann (1996). Hausmann (1996) placed Dooabia in Pseudoterpnini together with Agathia because the genitalia of Dooabia are close to those of Agathia. In this study, the monophyly of Aracimini, represented by Paramaxates, Dooabia and Aracima, is fully supported. Aracima serrata Wileman is embedded in Dooabia and forms a monophyletic clade with the type species of Dooabia, D. viridata, with strong support. It is possible that Aracima serrata should be placed in Dooabia, but the male genitalia of D. puncticostata Prout are very different from those of D. viridata (Moore), as they lack a developed costal projection at the base of the valva. Thus, a new genus may need to be erected for this species. If the isolation of D. puncticostata from Dooabia were proven, A. serrata would no longer be combined into Dooabia. The relationship between A. serrata and A. muscosa Butler (type species of Aracima, not sampled) is still pendent, as the male genitalia of the former is unknown and their wing patterns and female genitalia show great differences. Further morphological research based on type species and additional species of both genera is needed. The close relationship between the Aracimini and Timandromorphini proposed in Sihvonen et al. (2011) is not supported in this study.

description: In order to respond to environmental signals, cells often use small molecular circuits to transmit information about their surroundings. Recently, motivated by concrete examples in signaling and gene regulation, a body of work has focused on the properties of circuits that function out of equilibrium and dissipate energy. We briefly review the probabilistic measures of information and dissipation and use simple models to discuss and illustrate trade-offs between information and dissipation in biological circuits. We find that circuits with non-steady state initial conditions can transmit more information at small readout delays than steady state circuits. The dissipative cost of this additional information proves marginal compared to the steady state dissipation. Feedback does not significantly increase the transmitted information for out of steady state circuits but does decrease dissipative costs. Lastly, we discuss the case of bursty gene regulatory circuits that even in the fast switching limit function out of equilibrium.

description: We consider five dimensional deSitter spacetimes with a deficit angle due to the presence of a closed 2-brane and identify one dimension as an extra dimension. From the four dimensional viewpoint we can see that the spacetime has a structure similar to a Kaluza-Klein bubble of nothing, that is, four dimensional spacetime ends at the 2-brane. Since a spatial section of the full deSitter spacetime has the topology of a sphere, the boundary surface surrounds the remaining four dimensional spacetime, and can be considered as the celestial sphere. After the spacetime is created from nothing via an instanton which we describe, some four dimensional observers in it see the celestial sphere falling down, and will be in contact with a 2-brane attached on it.

Low-energy spectra in the t-J type models at light doping

description: Based on a variational approach, we propose that there are two kinds of low energy states in the t-J type models at low doping. In a quasi-particle state an unpaired spin bound to a hole with a well-defined momentum can be excited with spin waves. The resulting state shows a suppression of antiferromagnetic order around the hole with the profile of a {\em spin bag}. These spin-bag states with spin and charge or hole separated form a continuum of low-energy excitations. Very different properties predicted by these two kinds of states explain a number of anomalous results observed in the exact diagonalization studies on small clusters up to 32 sites.
