description: The purpose of the study is to examine the dietary consequences of greater consumption of vegetables by type and source. Dietary outcomes include calorie intake, USDA’s healthy eating index (HEI) scores, and intakes of fiber and sodium. We fit a fixed-effects model with two-day intake data from the 2003-4 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Our results suggest that the effect of vegetable consumption on diet varies greatly by type of vegetables and where the food is prepared. As stated in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, ―Eating [vegetables and fruits] instead of higher calorie foods can help adults and children achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Our results support the statement and call for attention to how to incorporate vegetables into healthy foods, both at home and away from home.

description: The Galaxy And Mass Assembly Survey (GAMA) covers five fields with highly complete spectroscopic coverage ($>95$ per cent) to intermediate depths ($r<19.8$ or $i < 19.0$ mag), and collectively spans 250 square degrees of Equatorial or Southern sky. Four of the GAMA fields (G09, G12, G15 and G23) reside in the ESO VST KiDS and ESO VISTA VIKING survey footprints, which combined with our GALEX, WISE and Herschel data provide deep uniform imaging in the $FUV\,NUV\,ugriZYJHK_s\,W1\,W2\,W3\,W4\,P100\,P160\,S250\,S350\,S500$ bands. Following the release of KiDS DR4, we describe the process by which we ingest the KiDS data into GAMA (replacing the SDSS data previously used for G09, G12 and G15), and redefine our core optical and near-IR catalogues to provide a complete and homogeneous dataset. The source extraction and analysis is based on the new ProFound image analysis package, providing matched-segment photometry across all bands. The data are classified into stars, galaxies, artefacts, and ambiguous objects, and objects are linked to the GAMA spectroscopic target catalogue. Additionally, a new technique is employed utilising ProFound to extract photometry in the unresolved MIR-FIR regime. The catalogues including the full FUV-FIR photometry are described and will be fully available as part of GAMA DR4. They are intended for both standalone science, selection for targeted follow-up with 4MOST, as well as an accompaniment to the upcoming and ongoing radio arrays now studying the GAMA $23^h$ field.

description: This paper demonstrates that dietary knowledge can influence nutrient intake differently depending on whether expected food availability is increasing or decreasing. Using data from China, we find that overall dietary knowledge has larger and more statistically significant effects on total calorie intake and the intake of three macro nutrients (carbohydrate, fat, and protein) when expected food availability increases than when it decreases. Without distinguishing the direction of changes in expected food availability, most of the corresponding effects become smaller and statistically insignificant. Thus, the effect of dietary knowledge on nutrient intake might have been underestimated in previous studies. We discuss the implications of these findings for the design and implementation of dietary education programs.

description: Biogas recovery systems that use methane from manure to generate electricity have not been widely adopted in U.S. mainly because the costs of constructing and maintaining these systems have exceeded the value of the benefits provided. Climate change mitigation and renewable energy policies could increase profits for the operators of such systems thereby making digester adoption more widespread. For the U.S. Dairy sector, we examine digester adoption rates, emissions reductions, net returns, electricity generation, and program costs under different policy scenarios. We find that 3% or fewer dairies would need to adopt digesters to meet the policy goals of reducing 25% of greenhouse gas emissions from dairy manure or generating one million megawatt hours of electricity per year. A carbon pricing program provides the highest net social benefits for almost all policy goals considered.

description: Chemical abundances for 23 candidate subgiant stars have been derived with the aim at exploring their usefulness for studies of galactic chemical evolution. High-resolution spectra from ESO CAT-CES and NOT-SOFIN covered 16 different spectral regions in the visible part of the spectrum. Some 200 different atomic and molecular spectral lines have been used for abundance analysis of about 30 elemental species. The wings of strong, pressure-broadened metal lines were used for determination of stellar surface gravities, which have been compared with gravities derived from Hipparcos parallaxes and isochronic masses. Stellar space velocities have been derived from Hipparcos and Simbad data, and ages and masses were derived with recent isochrones. Only 12 of the stars turned out to be subgiants, i.e. on the "horizontal" part of the evolutionary track between the dwarf- and the giant stages. The abundances derived for the subgiants correspond closely to those of dwarf stars. With the possible exceptions of lithium and carbon we find that subgiant stars show no "chemical" traces of post-main-sequence evolution and that they are therefore very useful targets for studies of galactic chemical evolution.

description: Internet-enabled things and devices operating in the physical world are increasingly integrated in modern distributed systems, supporting functionalities that require assurances that certain critical requirements are satisfied by the overall system. We focus here on spatially-distributed Internet-of-Things systems such as smart environments, where the dynamics of spatial distribution of entities in the system is crucial to requirements satisfaction. Analysis techniques need to be in place while systems operate to ensure that requirements are fulfilled. This may be achieved by keeping a model of the system at runtime, monitoring events that lead to changes in the spatial environment, and performing analysis. This computationally-intensive runtime assurance method cannot be supported by resource-constrained devices that populate the space and must be offloaded to the cloud. However, challenges arise regarding resource allocation and cost, especially when the workload is unknown at the system's design time. As such, it may be difficult or even impossible to guarantee application service level agreements, e.g., on response times. To this end, we instantiate spatial verification processes, integrating them to the service layer of an IoT-cloud architecture based on microservices. We propose several cloud deployments for such an architecture for assurance of spatial requirements -- based on virtual machines, containers, and the recent Functions-as-a-Service paradigm. Then, we assess deployments' tradeoffs in terms of elasticity, performance and cost by using a workload scenario from a known dataset of taxis roaming in Beijing. We argue that the approach can be replicated in the design process of similar kinds of spatially distributed Internet-of-Things systems.

description: We present the first relativistic calculations of the final phase of inspiral of a binary system consisting of two stars built predominantely of strange quark matter (strange quark stars). We study the precoalescing stage within the Isenberg-Wilson-Mathews approximation of general relativity using a multidomain spectral method. A hydrodynamical treatment is performed under the assumption that the flow is either rigidly rotating or irrotational, taking into account the finite density at the stellar surface -- a distinctive feature with respect to the neutron star case. The gravitational-radiation driven evolution of the binary system is approximated by a sequence of quasi-equilibrium configurations at fixed baryon number and decreasing separation. We find that the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) is given by an orbital instability both for synchronized and irrotational systems. This constrasts with neutron stars for which the ISCO is given by the mass-shedding limit in the irrotational case. The gravitational wave frequency at the ISCO, which marks the end of the inspiral phase, is found to be 1400 Hz for two irrotational 1.35 Msol strange stars and for the MIT bag model of strange matter with massless quarks and a bag constant B=60 MeV/fm^3. Detailed comparisons with binary neutrons star models, as well as with third order Post-Newtonian point-mass binaries are given.

Tradition and innovation in Irish instrumental folk music
Creators: name: Hillhouse, Andrew Neil
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In the late twentieth century, many new melodies were composed in the genre of traditional Irish instrumental music. In the oral tradition of this music, these new tunes go through a selection process, ultimately decided on by a large, transnational, and loosely connected community of musicians, before entering the common-practice repertoire. This thesis examines a representative group of tunes that are being accepted into the commonpractice repertoire, and through analysis of motivic structure, harmony, mode and other elements, identifies the shifting boundaries of traditional music. Through an identification of these boundaries, observations can be made on the changing tastes of the people playing Irish music today. Chapter One both establishes the historical and contemporary context for the study of Irish traditional music, and reviews literature on the melodic analysis of Irish traditional music, particularly regarding the concept of "tune-families". Chapter Two offers an analysis of traditional tunes in the common-practice repertoire, in order to establish an analytical means for identifying traditional tune structure. Chapter Three is an analysis of five tunes that have entered the common-practice repertoire since 1980. This analysis utilizes the techniques introduced in Chapter Two, and discusses the idea of the melodic "hook", the memorable element that is necessary for a tune to become popular. Through structural analysis, observations are made on the boundaries of tradition and innovation.

description: O objetivo deste trabalho é estimar a função de demanda de importação de vinho no Brasil. Os dados utilizados são de janeiro de 1995 a novembro de 2007, com periodicidade mensal. O modelo econométrico dinâmico de ajustamento parcial, também conhecido como modelo de Nerlove, foi o escolhido para se proceder à estimação. Este se caracteriza como um tipo de modelo autoregressivo de curto prazo, bastante apto para explicar os movimentos no quantum importado no momento atual com base nas importações passadas e no valor de outras variáveis. Concluiu-se que renda interna, preço de importação e taxa de câmbio são estatisticamente significantes para a explicação de variações na importação de vinho pelo Brasil, assim como a própria defasagem da variável dependente. Ademais, verificou-se, a partir do modelo de Nerlove estimado, o formato da estimação para períodos de longo prazo. Com base na forma funcional log-log, verificou-se que as elasticidades de longo prazo são maiores que as de curto prazo.-------------------The objective of this study is to estimate the demand function for wine imports in Brazil. The data used are from January 1995 to November 2007, with monthly frequency. The econometric model of dynamic partial adjustment, also known as Nerlove model, was chosen to make the estimate. This is characterized as a kind of short-term autoregressive model, quite able to explain the movements in the quantum imported in the current time based on past imports and the value of other variables. It was concluded that domestic income, the import price and exchange rate are statistically significant to the explanation of variations in the importation of wine by Brazil as well as the lagged dependent variable. Moreover, it was found the format of the estimate for the long-term. Based on the log-log functional form, it was found that the long-term elasticities are higher than the ones in the short-term.

description: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) has become a pandemic. Social (physical) distancing is a key non-pharmacologic control measure to reduce the transmission rate of SARS-COV-2, but high-level adherence is needed. Using daily travel distance and stay-at-home time derived from large-scale anonymous mobile phone location data provided by Descartes Labs and SafeGraph, we quantify the degree to which social distancing mandates have been followed in the U.S. and its effect on growth of COVID-19 cases. The correlation between the COVID-19 growth rate and travel distance decay rate and dwell time at home change rate was -0.586 (95% CI: -0.742 ~ -0.370) and 0.526 (95% CI: 0.293 ~ 0.700), respectively. Increases in state-specific doubling time of total cases ranged from 1.04 ~ 6.86 days to 3.66 ~ 30.29 days after social distancing orders were put in place, consistent with mechanistic epidemic prediction models. Social distancing mandates reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are followed.

A confiabilidade de um sistema de rastreabilidade capaz de preservar a identidade dos fornecedores de matéria-prima atreladas ao alimento e pagamentos contingentes constituem mecanismos de incentivos. Mostra-se que adotar rastreabilidade é condição necessária mas não suficiente para a maior segurança do alimento. Argumenta-se que a regulação via imposição de níveis mínimos de confiabilidade para os sistemas de rastreabilidade pode ser inócua. Já a elevação do valor das penalidades aplicadas em casos de crises de segurança do alimento promoveriam alimentos mais seguros.--------------This article investigates how the reliability of a traceability system can affect food safety using a principal-agent framework. Incentive mechanisms comprise the reliability of a traceability system capable of preserving the identities of raw material suppliers attached to food and contingent payments. Results show that the implementation of traceability systems is necessary but not sufficient condition for safer food. Moreover, imposing minimal levels of traceability reliability on food processors might be innocuous in terms of inducing safer food. Yet, an increased fine levied for food safety failures induces safer food.

description: Using the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), we study the propagation distance of thermal spin currents inside a magnetic insulator thin film in the short-range regime. We disambiguate spin currents driven by temperature and chemical potential gradients by comparing the SSE signal before and after adding a thermalization capping layer on the same device. We report that the measured spin decay behavior near the heat source is well accounted for by a diffusion model where the magnon diffusion length is in submicron range, \textit{i.e.} two orders of magnitude smaller than previous estimates inferred from the long-range behavior. Our results highlight the caveat in applying a diffusive theory to describe thermal magnon transport, where a single decay length may not capture the behavior on all length scales.

Dentro dessa abordagem, e procurando comparar com a situação de outros países, objetiva-se explicar as especificidades, assim como as oportunidades e limitações da aplicação desses conceitos no país. A conjugação desses conceitos tem o potencial de levar a uma reorientação do modelo de desenvolvimento do meio rural brasileiro. A reorientação pode vir por meio de um modelo sustentável, ecologicamente correto e socialmente igualitário, proporcionando a fixação e manutenção de famílias no campo ligadas a atividades como a agricultura orgânica, agroecologia, turismo rural, ecoturismo, práticas de esporte ligadas à natureza, artesanato e pequenos beneficiamentos de alimentos. Conclui-se que os formuladores de políticas voltadas ao desenvolvimento rural podem se beneficiar dessas idéias, e mais iniciativas deveriam ser tomadas relacionando os dois conceitos.------------------The objective of this work is to discuss, through a theoretical revision, alternatives of the family agriculture development in Brazil with a focus returned to the concepts of pluriactivity of the family agriculture and multifunctionality of the agrarian space. Inside of that approach, and trying to compare with the other countries situation, it tries to explain the specificities, as well as the opportunities and limitations of the application of those concepts in the country. The conjugation of those concepts has the potential of taking a reorientation of the development model of the brazilian rural zone. The reorientation can come through a maintainable model, ecologically correct and socially equalitarian, providing the fixation and maintenance of families in the field linked to activities as the organic agriculture, agroecology, rural tourism, ecotourism, sport practices linked to the nature, workmanship and small processing of foods. It is concluded that the makers of politics returned to the rural development can benefit of those ideas, and more initiatives should be taken relating the two concepts.

RAW cells subjected to differentiation in the presence of RANKL (A) and TNF-α (C) were treated with a TNF-α antibody for three days (B and D). Differentiation was blocked in cells treated with TNF-α antibody in TNF-α –treated cells (panel D) and not in RANKL treated cells (panel B). This result suggests that anti- TNF-α had no effect on the RANKL-RANK pathway involved in osteoclast differentiation. Representative phase-contrast microscopy images of TRAP-stained osteoclasts are shown. Cells were photographed under a 20X objective.

description: We construct the action of the quantum group U_v(sl_n) by the natural correspondences in the equivariant localized $K$-theory of the Laumon based Quasiflags' moduli spaces. The resulting module is the universal Verma module. We construct geometrically the Shapovalov scalar product and the Whittaker vectors. It follows that a certain generating function of the characters of the global sections of the structure sheaves of the Laumon moduli spaces satisfies a $v$-difference analogue of the quantum Toda lattice system, reproving the main theorem of Givental-Lee. The similar constructions are performed for the affine Lie agebra \hat{sl}_n.

description: While software development productivity has grown rapidly, the weight values assigned to count standard Function Point (FP) created at IBM twenty-five years ago have never been updated. This obsolescence raises critical questions about the validity of the weight values; it also creates other problems such as ambiguous classification, crisp boundary, as well as subjective and locally defined weight values. All of these challenges reveal the need to calibrate FP in order to reflect both the specific software application context and the trend of todays software development techniques more accurately. We have created a FP calibration model that incorporates the learning ability of neural networks as well as the capability of capturing human knowledge using fuzzy logic. The empirical validation using ISBSG Data Repository (release 8) shows an average improvement of 22% in the accuracy of software effort estimations with the new calibration.

description: O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar alguns fatos que influenciaram os preços da arroba do boi gordo recebido pelo produtor bem como realizar estimativas desses preços para um período de quatro meses a partir de maio de 2007. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia idealizada por Box-Jenkins (1976). Os resultados demonstraram que a série em questão (01/1996-05/2007) apresenta uma quebra estrutural no período referente a janeiro de 2004, fator esse que levou ao corte da mesma, sendo considerado na análise o intervalo de fevereiro de 2004 a maio de 2007, apresentando 40 observações. Alguns acontecimentos podem ter influenciados os preços da arroba do boi gordo naquele momento, e um que merece destaque é o fato de que nesse período foram detectados dois focos de febre aftosa no país no Amazonas e no Pará o que acarretou no embargo das exportações para Rússia.----------------------The present study has the goal to identify some facts which have influenced the fatcow arroba prices received by the producer and also to realize estimative of such prices for one period of four months begging in May of 2007. For that, it was utilized the methodology idealized by Box-Jenkins (1976). The results showed that the series in question (01/1996-05/2007) presents one structural broke in the referent period of 2004 January, this fact leads to the rejection of the same period, being considered the analyses of the interval from 2004 may to 2007 may, presenting 40 observations. Some events could have influenced the prices of the fatcow arroba in that moment, and one that deserves importance is the fact that in this period it was detected two infected areas of aphthous fever in the country, one the State of Amazonas and the other in the State of Para what leaded to the embargo of the exportations to Russia.

description: We present ab-initio calculations of the electronic structure of small Fe clusters (1-9 atoms) on Ni(001), Ni(111), Cu(001) and Cu(111) surfaces. Emphasis is given on the spin moments, and their dependence on cluster size and shape. We derive a simple quantitative rule, which relates the moment of each Fe atom linearly to its coordination number. Thus, for an arbitrary Fe cluster the spin moment of the cluster and of the individual Fe atoms can be readily found if the positions of the atoms are known.

description: The detection of gravitational waves from GW170817 has provided a new opportunity to constrain the equation of state (EOS) of neutron stars. In this article, we investigate the possible existence of quarks inside the neutron star core in the context of GW170817. The nucleon phase is treated within the relativistic nuclear mean-field approach where we have employed a fully comprehensive set of available models, and the quark phase is described in the Bag model. We show that the nucleonic EOSs which are inconsistent with the tidal deformability bound become consistent when phase transition to quark matter via Gibbs construction is allowed. We find that several nucleonic EOSs support the presence of pure quark matter core with a small mass not more than $0.17M_\odot$ confined within a radius of 0.9 km. We also find that the strong correlation between tidal deformability and neutron star radii observed for pure nucleonic stars does persist even with a nucleon-quark phase transition and provides an upper limit on the radius of $R_{1.4} \lesssim 12.9$ km for a $1.4M_\odot$ neutron star.

Também entre municípios há diferenças expressivas, dada a especialização regional que conduz a estruturas de produção agropecuária diferenciadas. Assim, não há como aplicar essa medida enquanto pressuposto genérico que ignora as diferenças geográficas e da produção agropecuária.---------------------------This article shows that the impact of the individual farms’ environmental reserve restoration act in São Paulo State is not distributed uniformly in the State territory, neither in the hydrographic unites each one whit its own peculiar physical characteristics. Also among municipalities there are expressive differences, given the regional specialization, which conduct it to differentiated production structures. Therefore, there is no reasonableness to justify the act as a measure, which generic presupposition ignores the geographical and agricultural production differences.
