description:
Despite advances in coverage and quality of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programs, infant protection from postnatal HIV infection remains an issue in high HIV-burdened countries. We designed a quality improvement (QI) intervention-the Partnership for HIV-Free Survival (PHFS)-to improve infant survival. PHFS convened leaders in 6 sub-Saharan African nations to discover together the best strategies for implementing and scaling up existing PMTCT protocols to ensure optimal health of mother-baby pairs and HIV-free infant survival. We used 3 core technical components-rapid adaptive design, collaborative learning, and scale-up/sustainability designs-to test strategies for accelerating effective PMTCT programming in complex, resource-poor settings. Learning generated included the need for increased ownership and codesign of improvement initiatives with Ministries of Health, better integration of initiatives into existing programs, and the need to sustain QI capability throughout the system. PHFS can serve as a design prototype for future global networks aiming to accelerate improvement, learning, and results.
On the Relationship Between the Optical Emission-Line and X-ray Luminosities in Seyfert 1 Galaxies

description: We have explored the relationship between the [O III] $λ$5007 and the 2--10 keV luminosities for a sample of Broad- and Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (BLSy1 and NLSy1, respectively). We find that both types of Seyferts span the same range in luminosity and possess similar [O III]/X-ray ratios. The NLSy1s are more luminous than BLSy1s, when normalized to their central black hole masses, which is attributed to higher mass accretion rates. However, we find no evidence for elevated [O III]/X-ray ratios in NLSy1s, which would have been expected if they had excess EUV continuum emission compared to BLSy1s. Also, other studies suggest that the gas in narrow-line regions (NLR) of NLSy1s and NLSy1s span a similar range in ionization, contrary to what is expected if those of the former are exposed to a stronger flux of EUV radiation. The simplest interpretation is that, like BLSy1s, a large EUV bump is not present in NLSy1s. However, we show that the [OIII]/X-ray ratio can be lowered as a result of absorption of the ionizing continuum by gas close to the central source, although there is no evidence that intrinsic line-of-sight absorption is more common among NLSy1s, as would be expected if there were a larger amount of circumnuclear gas. Other possible explanations include: 1) anisotropic emission of the ionizing radiation, 2) higher gas densities in the NLR of NLSy1s, resulting in lower average ionization, or 3) the presence of strong winds in the the nuclei of NLSy1s which may drive off much of the gas in the narrow-line region, resulting in lower cover fraction and weaker [O III] emission.

description: We continue our examination the effects of certain hypothetical configurations of zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions lying off the critical line ("barriers") on the relative magnitude of the functions $π_{q,a}(x)$. Here $π_{q,a}(x)$ is the number of primes $\le x$ in the progression $a \mod q$. In particular, we construct barriers so that $π_{q,1}(x)$ is simultaneously greater than, or simultaneously less than, each of $k$ functions $π_{q,a_i}(x)$ ($1\le i\le k$). We also construct barriers so that only a small number of the $r!$ possible orderings of functions $π_{q,a_i}(x)$ ($1\le i\le r$) occur for large $x$; see Theorem 5.1.

description: Exploitation frequently reduces the mean age of a fish population, particularly where a lack of property rights stimulates producers to ignore the user cost of harvest. The authors demonstrate that harvesting a young fish bears a significant efficiency cost when the multiple benefits accruing to its protection are recognised. This is magnified when the full complement of year classes within a fish population is considered. These findings identify the importance of protecting older year classes using rights-based management and age/size restrictions, although their successful application can be problematic. In addition, the importance of incorporating more detail in bioeconomic models of multiple-cohort fisheries is highlighted, as underestimating the magnitude of user costs associated with the cropping of younger fish will promote recommendations for inefficient harvest levels. These factors are demonstrated in an application of an optimal control model to the New Zealand longfin eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) fishery.

description: Abstract. This paper examines the optimal management of agricultural land through the use of non-crop inputs, such as fertiliser, and land uses that either degrade or restore productivity. We demonstrate the need to consider the relative total asset value of alternative crops over time. It is shown that higher prices for crops that degrade the resource base should motivate the use of short rotations with a remedial phase. An inability of land markets to reflect differences in resource quality and low capital malleability promote greater degradation. However, substitution of complementary effects through input usage may help to sustain productivity. These factors are discussed in the context of crop sequence management in Western Australian cropping systems.

We compare evolutions of initial data proportional to f(r) Y_lm(theta,phi) where Y_lm is a spherical harmonic and (r,theta,phi) are Kerr-Schild coordinates, to that of initial data proportional to f(r_BL) Y_lm(theta_BL,phi), where (r_BL,theta_BL) are Boyer-Lindquist coordinates. We find that although these two cases are initially almost identical, the evolution can be quite different at intermediate times; however, at late times the power-law decay rates are equal.

Blanford (1881) named the new species after Dennys because he examined a specimen deposited by Dennys at the Raffles Museum which was obtained by the latter from a Chinese merchant named Whampoa (also known as Hoo Ah Kay). The specimen was collected from an unknown locality in China (Blanford 1881). Zhangixalus dennysi ranges from Myanmar and Laos, east through northeastern Vietnam east to southeastern China and Hainan Island (Pham et al. 2017).

description: Market based mechanisms are growing in importance in environmental policy making. In theory market based mechanisms equate marginal abatement costs between polluting sources, thereby allocating emissions control responsibility at least cost. The step from theory to field implementation is, however, difficult, as many aspects of policy must be made operational at the same time. Policy mistakes can be very costly to society and are extremely difficult to correct ex-post. Experimental Economics is an innovative method beginning to be used to design, test and illustrate public policy prior to field implementation. In this paper we discuss two types of market incentives, taxes and tradable emissions permits. We then illustrate an experiment being implemented to test these market mechanisms for the management of salinity in the Murray Darling Basin.

These equations allow to construct generic solutions for the boundary reflection amplitudes, which are valid for theories related to all simple Lie algebras, that is simply laced and non-simply laced. We provide a detailed study of these solutions for concrete Lie algebras in various representations.

description: Super-transus heat treatments conducted on an additively manufactured body-centred-cubic β-Ti alloy led to the formation of equiaxed β grains from an initially columnar structure. The grain structure was transformed thanks to a combination of Plateau-Rayleigh instability and grain growth driven by reduction in grain boundary surface area. This is a new type of geometric recrystallisation with no deformation involved. Other mechanisms proposed based on either deformation-induced recrystallisation or martensitic decomposition are dismissed owing to low dislocation density and absence of martensitic transformation in the alloy studied. Columnar to equiaxed transformation of β by super-tranus heat treatment of SLM-fabricated Ti is due to Rayleigh instability and grain growth, dismissing the belief that usual deformation-driven recrystallisation is responsible.

description: The time evolution of an oscillator coupled to an infinite string with a discontinuous mass density is investigated. It is shown that the equation of motion of the oscillator leads to a nonlinear characteristic equation due to the frequency-dependent nature of the point impedance of the string. Then, the method of perturbation theory is applied to solve the characteristic equation to first order in perturbation parameter. Finally, response of the oscillator to an impulse is obtained by means of the Green's function method.

description: Results of a detailed examination of the cascade nucleosynthesis resulting from the putative hadronic decay, evaporation, or annihilation of a primordial relic during the Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) era are presented. It is found that injection of energetic nucleons around cosmic time 1000 sec may lead to an observationally favored reduction of the primordial Li7/H yield by a factor 2 - 3. Moreover, such sources also generically predict the production of the Li6 isotope with magnitude close to the as yet unexplained high Li6 abundances in low-metallicity stars. The simplest of these models operate at fractional contribution to the baryon density Omega_b h^2> 0.025, slightly larger than that inferred from standard BBN. Though further study is required, such sources, as for example due to the decay of the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle into GeV gravitinos or the decay of an unstable gravitino in the TeV range of abundance Ω_G h^2\sim 5\times 10^{-4} show promise to explain both the Li6 and Li7 abundances in low metallicity stars.

We use the {\tt GALFORM} semi-analytical model to explore the impact on the predicted counts of varying assumptions about the escape fraction of Ly-$α$ photons, the redshift at which the universe reionised and the cosmological density parameter. A model with a fixed escape fraction gives a remarkably good match to the observed counts over a wide redshift interval. We present predictions for the expected counts in a typical observation with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer instrument proposed for the Very Large Telescope.

Remarks. Crocodylus palustris ranges from Iran east to Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Myanmar (da Silva & Lenin 2010). Gray (1844) first listed C. palustris as occurring in Singapore based on a young, stuffed specimen at NHMUK. Cantor (1847a) described C. palustris from Penang, but it is believed he confused it with C. porosus (Flower 1899; Boulenger 1912). In his account of C. palustris, Ģnther (1864) only mentioned specimens from India and Sri Lanka, but did not discuss the species purported presence in southeast Asia. Shortly thereafter (Boulenger 1912), the presence of C. palustris in southeast Asia was discontinued, first by Flower (1914) who stated that “[n]o absolutely unimpeachable evidence appears to exist of its occurrence in the Malay Peninsula or Archipelago” and by Smith (1930, 1931) who delimited its distribution to the Indian Subcontinent. No other publication references the C. palustris specimen from Singapore, and furthermore, there are three additional specimens from 1910 stored at MCZ that have Singapore as locality, but with a question mark. Thus, the only explanation must be that the specimens were traded in Singapore or the locality is incorrect (Pocklington 2021).

description: We study the unitarity of the standard model (SM) in higher dimensions. We show that the essential features of SM unitarity remain after compactification, and place bounds on the highest Kaluza-Klein (KK) level N_KK and the Higgs mass m_H in the effective four-dimensional (4d) low-energy theory. We demonstrate these general observations by explicitly analyzing the effective 4d KK theory of a compactified 5d SM on S^1/Z_2. The nontrivial energy cancellations in the scattering of longitudinal KK gluons or KK weak bosons, a consequence of the geometric Higgs mechanism, are verified. In the case of the electroweak gauge bosons, the longitudinal KK states also include a small mixture from the KK Higgs excitations. With the analyses before and after compactification, we derive the strongest bounds on N_KK from gauge KK scattering. Applying these bounds to higher-dimensional SUSY GUTs implies that only a small number of KK states can be used to accelerate gauge coupling unification. As a consequence, we show that the GUT scale in the 5d minimal SUSY GUT cannot be lower than about 10^{14} GeV.

description: The structures of plasma flows in close binary systems whose accretors have strong intrinsic magnetic fields are studied. A close binary system with the parameters of a typical polar is considered. The results of three dimensional numerical simulations of the material flow from the donor into the accretor Roche lobe are presented. Special attention is given to the flow structure in the vicinity of the inner Lagrangian point, where the accretion flow is formed. The interaction of the accretion flow material from the envelope of the donor with the magnetic field of the accretor results in the formation of a hierarchical structure of the magnetosphere, because less dense areas of the accretion flow are captured by the magnetic field of the white dwarf earlier than more dense regions. Taking into account this kind of magnetosphere structure can affect analysis results and interpretation of the observations.

description: As consumptive demands have grown in the Murray River basin, ecological health has declined and debate over how water should be allocated has grown. Additional structured thinking about the trade-offs involved in finding a balance for the overall environmental integrity of the Murray River basin is necessary. This paper describes how economic analysis can contribute to a screening process for seeking this balance that incorporates biophysical information as well as market and non-market benefits for a range of possible investments in floodplain health. This screening process can help decision makers successively filter the options, narrow the field and evaluate whether it is in society’s interest to let particular floodplains decline with no further intervention.

description: We present an experimental study of the internal mechanical vibration modes of a mirror. We determine the frequency repartition of acoustic resonances via a spectral analysis of the Brownian motion of the mirror, and the spatial profile of the acoustic modes by monitoring their mechanical response to a resonant radiation pressure force swept across the mirror surface. We have applied this technique to mirrors with cylindrical and plano-convex geometries, and compared the experimental results to theoretical predictions. We have in particular observed the gaussian modes predicted for plano-convex mirrors.

description: Weather derivatives are designed to hedge the volumetric risk associated with unfavourable weather. They have the ability to hedge weather related volume or yield risk for the agricultural sector, although there are still many hurdles to their widespread implementation in Australian agriculture. This paper focuses on one of these hurdles, the problem of geographical basis risk resulting from the distance between the subject property and the site at which the weather measurement takes place. Geographical basis risk changes the frequency and magnitude of payouts, which can pose a substantial deterrent to farmers. This study uses data from two farms in NSW to determine differences in payouts when calculated from varying data measurement sites. It is found that at smaller geographical distances the magnitude of payouts is only slightly affected, while as the distance between farm and weather measurement increases, both frequency and magnitude of payouts are affected, thus lowering the potential demand for weather derivatives by farmers.

description: Topological objects resulting from symmetry breakdown may be either stable or metastable depending on the pattern of symmetry breaking. However, if they acquire zero-energy modes of fermions, and in the process acquire non-integer fermionic charge, the metastable configurations also get stabilized. In the case of Dirac fermions the spectrum of the number operator shifts by 1/2. In the case of majorana fermions it becomes useful to assign negative values of fermion number to a finite number of states occupying the zero-energy level, constituting a \textit{majorana pond}. We determine the parities of these states and prove a superselection rule. Thus decay of objects with half-integer fermion number is not possible in isolation or by scattering with ordinary particles. The result has important bearing on cosmology as well as condensed matter physics.

Correlation paradox of the dissociation limit: A quantum information perspective

description: The interplay between electron interaction and geometry in a molecular system can lead to rather paradoxical situations. The prime example is the dissociation limit of the hydrogen molecule: While a significant increase of the distance $r$ between the two nuclei marginalizes the electron-electron interaction, the exact ground state does, however, not take the form of a single Slater determinant. By first reviewing and then employing concepts from quantum information theory, we resolve this paradox and its generalizations to more complex systems in a quantitative way. To be more specific, we illustrate and prove that thermal noise due to finite, possibly even just infinitesimally low, temperature $T$ will destroy the entanglement beyond a critical separation distance $r_{\mathrm{crit}}$($T$) entirely. Our analysis is comprehensive in the sense that we simultaneously discuss both total correlation and entanglement in the particle picture as well as in the orbital/mode picture. Our results reveal a conceptually new characterization of static and dynamical correlation in ground states by relating them to the (non)robustness of correlation with respect to thermal noise.

description: Farm to institution (FTI) is a movement which aims to increase procurement of locally grown foods by institutions such as schools, colleges, hospitals, senior meal sites, and correctional facilities. FTI provides an opportunity for farmers by expanding their markets, for buyers by meeting demand for fresh, locally grown food, and for distributors by meeting buyers’ demands and expanding their network of suppliers. Previous research has discussed the importance of the story of the food in creating connections between farmers and consumers, yet it becomes difficult to communicate this story as supply chains lengthen. This study focuses on institutional procurement of fresh fruits and vegetables in Vermont. Face to face, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 supply chain actors (farmers, distributors, food hubs and buyers). We find that providing the story has both value and cost, with costs often being borne with those least able to afford them.

description: We present seven epochs of spectroscopy on the quadruply imaged quasar SDSS J1004+4112, spanning observed-frame time delays from 1 to 322 days. The spectra reveal differences in the emission lines between the lensed images. Specifically, component A showed a strong enhancement in the blue wings of several high-ionization lines relative to component B, which lasted at least 28 days (observed frame) then faded. Since the predicted time delay between A and B is <30 days, our time coverage suggests that the event was not intrinsic to the quasar. We attribute these variations to microlensing of part of the broad emission line region of the quasar, apparently resolving structure in the source plane on a scale of ~10^{16} cm at z=1.734. In addition, we observed smaller differences in the emission line profiles between components A and B that persisted throughout the time span, which may also be due to microlensing or millilensing. Further spectroscopic monitoring of this system holds considerable promise for resolving the structure of the broad emission line region in quasars.

description: Learning representation has been proven to be helpful in numerous machine learning tasks. The success of the majority of existing representation learning approaches often requires a large amount of consistent and noise-free labels. However, labels are not accessible in many real-world scenarios and they are usually annotated by the crowds. In practice, the crowdsourced labels are usually inconsistent among crowd workers given their diverse expertise and the number of crowdsourced labels is very limited. Thus, directly adopting crowdsourced labels for existing representation learning algorithms is inappropriate and suboptimal. In this paper, we investigate the above problem and propose a novel framework of \textbf{R}epresentation \textbf{L}earning with crowdsourced \textbf{L}abels, i.e., "RLL", which learns representation of data with crowdsourced labels by jointly and coherently solving the challenges introduced by limited and inconsistent labels. The proposed representation learning framework is evaluated in two real-world education applications. The experimental results demonstrate the benefits of our approach on learning representation from limited labeled data from the crowds, and show RLL is able to outperform state-of-the-art baselines. Moreover, detailed experiments are conducted on RLL to fully understand its key components and the corresponding performance.

Remarks. Lim & Chou (1990) included C. siamensis in their checklist of Singapore’s herpetofauna, but listed its presence as doubtful. Although the authors do not provide references or annotation for the species, we suspect that they included it based on early confusions over C. palustris and C. siamensis. Chan-ard et al. (2015) designated C. siamensis as extinct in Singapore. Nonetheless, there are no verifiable records showing that C. siamensis ever existed in Singapore. Crocodylus siamensis is native to Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Kalimantan, but may have also existed in Java, Peninsular Malaysia, and Myanmar (Platt et al. 2018).

description: India’s agricultural base is quite strong but wastage is very high and processing of food products is very low. The country’s processing sector is small and processing of food to consumable standards in India has reached only 10% recently. India’s share in exports of processed food in World trade has remained at about 1.5 percent or $3.2 billion. This paper examines trends and status of the food processing industry, identifies and discusses constraints/problems slowing down its growth. Though there are many promising dynamics which support the potential for growth of this industry, there are still some significant constraints which, if not addressed sooner, can impede the growth prospects of the Food Processing Industry in India.

description: We confront predictions of inflationary scenarios with the WMAP data, in combination with complementary small-scale CMB measurements and large-scale structure data. The WMAP detection of a large-angle anti-correlation in the temperature--polarization cross-power spectrum is the signature of adiabatic superhorizon fluctuations at the time of decoupling. The WMAP data are described by pure adiabatic fluctuations: we place an upper limit on a correlated CDM isocurvature component. Using WMAP constraints on the shape of the scalar power spectrum and the amplitude of gravity waves, we explore the parameter space of inflationary models that is consistent with the data. We place limits on inflationary models; for example, a minimally-coupled lambda phi^4 is disfavored at more than 3-sigma using WMAP data in combination with smaller scale CMB and large scale structure survey data. The limits on the primordial parameters using WMAP data alone are: n_s(k_0=0.002 Mpc^{-1})=1.20_{-0.11}^{+0.12}, dn/dlnk=-0.077^{+0.050}_{- 0.052}, A(k_0=0.002 Mpc}^{-1})=0.71^{+0.10}_{-0.11} (68% CL), and r(k_0=0.002 Mpc^{-1})<1.28 (95% CL).
