description: We analyze the imaging observations of an M-class eruptive flare of 2015 November, 4. The pre-eruptive H alpha filament was modelled by the non-linear force free field model, which showed that it consisted of two helical systems. Tether-cutting reconnection involving these two systems led to the formation of a hot sigmoidal loop structure rooted in a small hook that formed at the end of the flare ribbon. Subsequently, the hot loops started to slip away form the small hook until it disappeared. The loops continued slipping and the ribbon elongated itself by several tens of arc seconds. A new and larger hook then appeared at the end of elongated ribbon with hot and twisted loops rooted there. After the eruption of these hot loops, the ribbon hook expanded and later contracted. We interpret these observations in the framework of the recent three dimensional (3D) extensions to the standard solar flare model, which predict the drift of the flux rope footpoints. The hot sigmoidal loop is interpreted as the flux rope, whose footpoints drift during the eruption. While the deformation and drift of the new hook can be described by the model, the displacement of the flux rope footpoint from the filament to that of the erupting flux rope indicate that the hook evolution can be more complex than those captured by the model.

description: Genus Trialeurodes Cockerell 1902
 Diagnosis. Puparium: Habitus. Normally oval-shaped, mostly pale with a few species dark brown, or having a pale and dark brown form; about 100 species are described. More abundant on the underside of the leaf and less dense on the upper surface. Slide mounted specimen-Lateral margin. Crenulate (crenulations from small to large, uniform or of varying widths), somewhat weak, and sometimes modified at the thoracic tracheal openings and showing some stippling in the thoracic furrow. Dorsum. A submarginal row of variously shaped papillae (cylindrical, bullet, conical apically rounded or acute) well or poorly developed; if well developed, then separated or closely appressed; such papillae may also occur on the dorsal disc. Seven or 8 abdominal segments apparent in median region of abdomen: A 7 in most species reduced with the median length no more than one-third the length of A 6. Vasiform orifice. Cordateshaped, defined, enclosing a posteriorly lobed lingula that is contained within the vasiform orifice. The lingula has 3 paired lobes and one apical lobe that is usually partially, but may be totally covered by the operculum. The operculum, cordate to subcordate, covers at least half the vasiform orifice. Venter. Antennae usually terminate at the T 1 position. Legs armed with spines on inner portion of leg or such spines absent. Thoracic tracheal folds usually present and unmarked. Pores. Submarginal disc pores and porettes present while distribution and location varies and may be associated with papillae. Chaetotaxy. Cephalic, A 8 (not anterior to anterior margin of vasiform orifice), and caudal pairs of submedian setae present; A 1 setae present or absent.
 Comments. Physical characteristics of the host plant leaves sometimes cause a high degree of variation in the shape and pattern of the papillae, and cuticle sculpturing of species in this genus. Of the 67 described species in Trialeurodes, five species are known to occur in Nevada along with one newly described species and one unidentified species. Two species are dark, three are pale to yellow in color and one has both the light and dark form.

description: We study the motion of a one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle with three discrete internal states in the presence of a harmonic trap of stiffness $μ.$ The three internal states, corresponding to positive, negative and zero velocities respectively, evolve following a jump process with rate $γ$. We compute the stationary position distribution exactly for arbitrary values of $μ$ and $γ$ which turns out to have a finite support on the real line. We show that the distribution undergoes a shape-transition as $β=γ/μ$ is changed. For $β<1,$ the distribution has a double-concave shape and shows algebraic divergences with an exponent $(β-1)$ both at the origin and at the boundaries. For $β>1,$ the position distribution becomes convex, vanishing at the boundaries and with a single, finite, peak at the origin. We also show that for the special case $β=1,$ the distribution shows a logarithmic divergence near the origin while saturating to a constant value at the boundaries.

description: US soybean exports to seven major markets are estimated with linear, log-linear, and Box-Cox specifications. Estimates from the three approaches are compared to address these issues regarding the agricultural trade literature functional form selection, longrun price elasticity estimates, and validation of models beyond the sample data. Functional form appreciably affected forecasts outside the sample and the price and income elasticity estimates, which range from elastic to inelastic across markets.

description: The notion that highly erodible soils are uniformly unproductive is not supported by empirical evidence. Thus, the presumption that the cost of conservation programs targeted at highly erodible land will be low is erroneous. Average net crop revenue on nonirrigated highly erodible cropland is less than on nonerodible land, but the productivity distributions across these erodibility classes are nearly equal. Significant acreages with all but the highest productivity can be found at all levels of erodibility. Retiring highly erodible, physically marginal cropland is not synonymous with retiring less productive, economically marginal cropland.
Tumores de localização palpebral, 15 anos de experiência no Centro de Patologia Oftálmica do Centro Hospitalar da Universidade de Coimbra

description: Introdução: Este estudo tem como objectivo estudar a frequência dos diferentes tipos de tumores palpebrais numa população portuguesa e a sua correlação clínico-patológica. Métodos: Foram utilizados 1622 casos de tumores de localização palpebral do Laboratório do Centro de Patologia Oftálmica do Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra, de 1995 a 2009. Resultados: Dos 1622 tumores palpebrais, 1240 (76,4%) eram benignos. Os 5 tumores benignos mais frequentes foram o papiloma escamoso (30%), o nevus melanocítico (13,4%), o chalázio (10,4%), o quisto sebáceo (9,5%) e o xantelasma (7,3%). O tumor maligno predominante foi o carcinoma basocelular (86,3%). Segundo a classificação por origem, os tumores epidérmicos foram os mais frequentes (50,2 %). A idade média foi mais elevada nos tumores malignos (69,01 ± 13,59 anos) do que nos tumores benignos (56,75 ±18,32 anos). A frequência dos tumores benignos decresceu com o aumento da idade e a dos malignos aumentou. A pálpebra inferior (36,7%) foi a mais acometida. Tumores benignos foram mais frequentes na pálpebra superior (40,6%) e na pálpebra inferior (30,7%); os tumores malignos foram mais frequentes na pálpebra inferior (58,2%) e canto interno (23,6%). O diagnóstico clínico de tumores malignos alcançou uma sensibilidade de 93,7%, um valor preditivo negativo de 98,2% e 3,0% de falsos negativos. Conclusões: A patologia palpebral predominante é benigna. Na maioria dos casos a suspeita clínica é confirmada pelo estudo anátomo-patológico, mas obtiveram-se 3% de falsos negativos. Este é um dos poucos estudos epidemiológicos de tumores palpebrais em Portugal e que, de certa forma, reflecte a realidade nacional.

description: Electron-induced one-nucleon knock-out observables are computed for moderate to high momentum transfer making use of semi-relativistic expressions for the one-body and two-body meson-exchange current matrix elements. Emphasis is placed on the semi-relativistic form of the $Δ$-isobar exchange current and several prescriptions for the dynamical-equivalent form of the $Δ$-propagator are analyzed. To this end, the inclusive transverse response function, evaluated within the context of the semi-relativistic approach and using different prescriptions for the $Δ$-propagator, is compared with the fully relativistic calculation performed within the scheme of the relativistic Fermi gas model. It is found that the best approximation corresponds to using the traditional static $Δ$-propagator. These semi-relativistic approaches, which contain important aspects of relativity, are implemented in a distorted wave analysis of quasielastic $(e,e'p)$ reactions. Final state interactions are incorporated through a phenomenological optical potential model and relativistic kinematics is assumed when calculating the energy of the ejected nucleon. The results indicate that meson exchange currents may modify substantially the $TL$ asymmetry for high missing momentum.

description: Time series techniques (vector autoregression or VAR) are employed to model a three-price dynamic system of the farmgate, processor, and consumer prices of wheat-related goods. An increase (presumably drought-induced) in farmgate wheat price is simulated to determine impacts on processor and consumer prices in the wheat sector. Several findings emerge. First, the increase in farm wheat price (PF-increase) may be expected to immediately generate processor price increases which are statistically significant for almost a year. Second, the PF-increase is expected to generate wheat-related consumer price increases, which are most significant for 22 months. Consumer price increases of wheat-related goods are expected to peak in strength at about the 8-month point following the PF-increase. And third, the consumer price increases are expected to be more gradual, less acute, but of longer duration than the processor price rises.
Comment on "X-ray resonant scattering studies of orbital and charge ordering in Pr1-xCaxMnO3"

description: In a recent published paper [Phys. Rev. B 64, 195133 (2001)], Zimmermann et al. present a systematic x-ray scattering study of charge and orbital ordering phenomena in the Pr1-xCaxMnO3 series with x= 0.25, 0.4 and 0.5. They propose that for Ca concentrations x=0.4 and 0.5, the appearance of (0, k+1/2, 0) reflections are originated by the orbital ordering of the eg electrons in the a-b plane while the (0, 2k+1, 0) reflections are due to the charge ordering among the Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions. Moreover, for small Ca concentrations (x<0.3), the orbital ordering is only considered and it occurs at (0, k, 0) reflections. A rigorous analysis of all these resonance reflections will show the inadequacy of the charge-orbital model proposed to explain the experimental results. In addition, this charge-orbital model is highly inconsistent with the electronic balance. On the contrary, these reflections can be easily understood as arising from the anisotropy of charge distribution induced by the presence of local distortions, i.e. due to a structural phase transition.

description: A controversy arose over the interpretation of the recently observed hump features in Hall resistivity $ρ_{xy}$ from ultra-thin SrRuO$_3$ (SRO) film; it was initially interpreted to be due to topological Hall effect but was later proposed to be from existence of regions with different anomalous Hall effect (AHE). In order to settle down the issue, we performed Hall effect as well as magneto-optic Kerr-effect measurements on 4 unit cell SRO films grown on SrTiO$_3$ (001) substrates. Clear hump features are observed in the measured $ρ_{xy}$, whereas neither hump feature nor double hysteresis loop is seen in the Kerr rotation which should be proportional to the magnetization. In addition, magnetization measurement by superconducting quantum interference device shows no sign of multiple coercive fields. These results show that inhomogeneous AHE alone cannot explain the observed hump behavior in $ρ_{xy}$ data from our SRO ultra-thin films. We found that emergence of the hump structure in $ρ_{xy}$ is closely related to the growth condition, high quality films having clear sign of humps.

description: Purpose: To evaluate the visual function and determine the factors associated with the development of refractive errors in school-aged children born prematurely. Material and methods: One hundred and seventeen children with gestational age less than 37 weeks that were born between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2007 were included. For statistical purpose, participants were divided into groups according to gestational age and birth weight (BW). All made a complete ophthalmic examination and measurement of optical components. Results: There was no statistically significant increase of refractive errors in children born more prematurely (p>0.05), although the value of the spherical equivalent was greater for children with BW <1500g (p=0.042). It was observed a higher number of cases of strabismus in children with BW <2000 g (p=0.036). Regarding optical components, it was observed that infants born more prematurely had eyes with shallower anterior chamber, steeper corneal curvature and shorter axial length. It was also found that myopia in children with BW <2000g was caused by an increase of the corneal curvature, while in those with BW >2000 g was due to an increased axial length. Children with ROP had more prevalence of refractive errors compared with those without ROP (p=0.004). Conclusions: Children born more prematurely and those with ROP appear to be at increased risk of developing refractive error and strabismus, which can persist throughout life. In these children, refractive error seems to be most affected by corneal curvature than by axial length.

Análise das camadas retinianas em doentes com lesão isquémica da artéria cerebral posterior unilateral: Um estudo de tomografia de coerência óptica
Creators: name: Anjos, Rita Serrano
Publisher: name: Revista Sociedade Portuguesa de Oftalmologia
Year: 2016

description: Introdução: A degeneração transneuronal retrógrada (DTR) das células ganglionares tem sido implicada na fisiopatologia de lesões na via visual posterior. Apesar de estarem descritas alterações nas camadas mais externas da retina na patologia do nervo óptico, esta relação com lesões a nível occipital permanece desconhecida. O objectivo do presente estudo é a avaliação das camadas nuclear interna (CNi), plexiforme externa (CPe), nuclear externa (CNe) e dos fotoreceptores (CFo) em doentes com lesões isquémicas da artéria cerebral posterior (ACP) com tomografia de coerência óptica (OCT). Métodos: Estudo transversal observacional, caso-controlo de doentes com hemianópsia homónima decorrente de lesão unilateral isquémica da ACP seguidos no departamento de Neuroftalmologia do Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central. Todos os doentes realizaram OCT macular em ambos os olhos. Após segmentação automática das diferentes camadas, foram obtidos os valores de espessuras correspondentes às regiões nasal e temporal entre 1 a 3mm (N1-3 e T1-3) e entre 3 e 6 mm (N3-6 e T3-6) centradas na fóvea. Não se verificaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas no grupo controle Resultados: Dez doentes com lesão da PCA e um grupo de controlo pareado para o sexo e idade foram incluidos no estudo. Quando comparados ambos os olhos do mesmo doente, verificou-se um aumento da espessura da CNi em N3-6 (p=0,005) do olho ipsilateral e em T3-6 (p=0,011) no olho contralateral, assim como da CPe em N3-6 (p=0,034) do olho ipsilateral. Conclusão: Além da já documentada associação entre lesões isquémicas occipitais e as alterações nas camadas internas da retina, podemos ainda observar algumas alterações nas camadas retinianas mais externas. É possível que a DTR no sistema visual seja um processo que não se esgota nas células ganglionares, afectando camadas mais externas da retina.

description: As 3D printers become more widely available, researchers are able to rapidly produce components that may have previously taken weeks to have machined. The resulting plastic components, having high surface roughness, are often not suitable for high-precision optomechanics. However, by playing to the strengths of 3D printing---namely the ability to print complex internal geometries---it is possible to design monolithic mechanisms that do not rely on tight integration of high-precision parts. Here we present a motorised monolithic 3D-printed plastic flexure stage with sub-100 nm resolution, that can perform automated optical fibre alignment.

description: We study the quantum dynamics of N coherently driven two-level atoms coupled to an optical resonator. In the strong coupling regime the cavity field generated by atomic scattering interferes destructively with the pump on the atoms. This suppresses atomic excitation and even for strong driving fields prevents atomic saturation, while the stationary intracavity field amplitude is almost independent of the atom number. The magnitude of the interference effect depends on the detuning between laser and cavity field and on the relative atomic positions and is strongest for a wavelength spaced lattice of atoms placed at the antinodes of the cavity mode. In this case three dimensional intensity minima are created in the vicinity of each atom. In this regime spontaneous emission is suppressed and the dominant loss channel is cavity decay. Even for a cavity linewidth larger than the atomic natural width, one regains strong interference through the cooperative action of a sufficiently large number of atoms. These results give a new key to understand recent experiments on collective cavity cooling and may allow to implement fast tailored atom-atom interactions as well as nonperturbative particle detection with very small energy transfer.

description: Despite the growing interest for boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) due to their unique properties, data on the evaluation of the environmental risk potential of this emerging engineered nanomaterial are currently lacking. Therefore, the ecotoxicity of a commercial form of BNNT (containing tubes, hexagonal-boron nitride, and boron) was assessed in vivo toward larvae of the amphibian Xenopus laevis. Following the exposure, multiple endpoints were measured in the tadpoles as well as in bacterial communities associated to the host gut. Exposure to BNNT led to boron accumulation in host tissues and was not associated to genotoxic effects. However, the growth of the tadpoles increased due to BNNT exposure. This parameter was associated to remodeling of gut microbiome, benefiting to taxa from the phylum Bacteroidetes. Changes in relative abundance of this phylum were positively correlated to larval growth. The obtained results support the finding that BNNT are biocompatible as indicated by the absence of toxic effect from the tested nanomaterials. In addition, byproducts, especially free boron present in the tested product, were overall beneficial for the metabolism of the tadpoles.

description: We present a new four-dimensional phase unwrapping approach for time-lapse quantitative phase microscopy, which allows reconstruction of optically thick objects that are optically thin in a certain temporal point and angular view. We thus use all four dimensions of the dynamic quantitative phase profile acquired, including the angular dimension and the temporal dimension, in addition to the x-y dimensions. We first demonstrate the capabilities of this algorithm on simulative data, enabling the quantification of the reconstruction quality relative to both the ground truth and existing unwrapping approaches. Then, we demonstrate the applicability of the proposed four-dimensional phase unwrapping algorithm by experimentally capturing a dual-angular dynamic off-axis hologram with simultaneous recording of two angular views, using multiplexing of two off-axis holograms into a single multiplexed hologram.

description: Few commodities exhibit as strong a trend factor as do cigarettes. The phenomenal rise in popularity in this form of smoking since the early 1920's is well known, but to the analyst seeking to identify factors affecting demand for cigarettes, the strong trend factor which tends to overshadow the effects of other determining influences frequently is a vexing and frustrating obstacle. This article reports the results of statistical analyses of factors affecting the demand for cigarettes. Particular attention is given to alternative methods of handling time as a variable, and to the assumptions regarding the shape of the time trend implicit in each. The author acknowledgesthe helpful suggestions of Arthur G. Conoverand Anthony S. Rojko of the Economic Research Service.

description: As farms become larger and more specialized, questions of the relationships between costs and income as affected by size become more important. This report on cost-size relations on irrigated cotton farms in the San Joaquin Valley, Calif., shows that the smaller farms, within the range of size illustrated, can pay current charges for irrigation water and remain "in the black." However, their profits disappear more readily than those on larger farms as costs of irrigation water increase. On the farms illustrated, most of the economies of scale and size are achieved by the 320-acre farm. Costs per dollar of output increase rapidly for successively smaller farms, but decrease slowly for successively larger ones.

description: Visual health problems are a major public health burden. Preventing avoidable visual impairment and blindness is a strategic objective of the national health program for 2011-2016. Population information, primary prevention and access to ophthalmological care are major aims of this program. The purpose of this project is to present the results of a visual health screening on the city of Lisbon. Retrospective analysis of the results of a visual health screening taken between September and November 2014. Each subject filled a questionnaire concerning demographic data, past medical history and past ophthalmologic history. Afterwards, an ophthalmological observation was undertaken, which included visual acuity (VA) evaluation and external eye observation. Referral for further ophthalmological evaluation was performed according to observation. General visual health information was provided. A total of 1955 subjects voluntarily participated in the screening. The majority were above 55 years of age, currently retired, with a low level of education. 13.2% stated that had never been evaluated by an ophthalmologist. Arterial Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus were the most common systemic diseases. 78.2% of the subjects had a refractive error (RE) correction. Cataract, ocular trauma and glaucoma were the most frequent past ophthalmologic problems. One third of the cases had subnormal VA. 18% of the individuals who had no RE correction had a VA inferior to 20/40. 327 subjects were referred for ophthalmological evaluation. Visual health screening is a fundamental strategy to provide information to the population and an effective method to identify individuals at risk of severe visual impairment.

How much faster does the best polynomial approximation converge than Legendre projection?

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: We compare the convergence behavior of best polynomial approximations and Legendre and Chebyshev projections and derive optimal rates of convergence of Legendre projections for analytic and differentiable functions in the maximum norm. For analytic functions, we show that the best polynomial approximation of degree $n$ is better than the Legendre projection of the same degree by a factor of $n^{1/2}$. For differentiable functions such as piecewise analytic functions and functions of fractional smoothness, however, we show that the best approximation is better than the Legendre projection by only some constant factors. Our results provide some new insights into the approximation power of Legendre projections.

description: Dose-response by in vitro testing is only valid if the fraction of the particle dose that deposits onto adherent cells is known. Modeling tools such as the ‘distorted grid’ (DG) code are common practices to predict that fraction. As another challenge, workflow efficiency depends on parallelized sample preparation, for which freeze-thaw protocols have been explored earlier, but not their implications on dosimetry. Here we assess the sensitivity of the DG code toward freeze-thaw protocols and variations in user-defined parameters, including the estimation of particle-cell affinity and determination of agglomerate size, which we measure by DLS or AUC. We challenge the sensitivity by materials of varying composition, surface functionalization, and size (TiO2, CeO2, BaSO4, 2x Ag, 3x SiO2). We found that the average effective density is robust, but the dose predictions by different approaches varied typically 2-fold and up to 10-fold; this uncertainty translates directly into the uncertainty of no-effect-concentrations. The use of standardized dispersion protocols increases the uncertainty in doses. The choice of a measurement method and minor details of the particle size distribution strongly influence the modeled dosimetry. Uncertainty is high for very well dispersed nanomaterials; since then, the assumed affinity of particles to cells has a decisive influence. Against this background, the modulation of deposited dose by freeze-thaw protocols is a minor factor that can be controlled by aligning the protocols of sample preparation. However, even then, the uncertainty of deposited doses must be considered when comparing the in vitro toxicity of different nanomaterials.

description: We propose a new method for computing the language intersection of two Time Petri nets (TPN); that is the sequence of labels in timed traces common to the execution of two TPN. Our approach is based on a new product construction between nets and relies on the State Class construction, a widely used method for checking the behaviour of TPN. We prove that this new construct does not add additional expressive power, and yet that it can leads to very concise representation of the result. We have implemented our approach in a new tool, called Twina. We report on some experimental results obtained with this tool and show how to apply our approach on two interesting problems: rst, to dene an equivalent of the twin-plant diagnosability methods for TPN; then as a way to check timed properties without interfering with a system.

Input-Output Analysis as a Tool in Agricultural Marketing Research

Year: 1962
Subjects: Production Economics

description: Economists engaged in agricultural marketing research are frequently called on to obtain information on industrial markets for farm products, costs of advertising and packaging these products, and tax outlays by marketing agencies. Besides these essentially descriptive questions, they may also be asked to appraise such analytical problems as the effect of various farm programs on industries processing and distributing farm products and, of particular current interest, the impact of the European Common Market and of proposed foreign trade programs on American farmers and on agricultural marketing agencies. Anyone familiar with Leontief (9) 1 input-output economics will readily see that these descriptive and analytical questions—and a host of similar ones—can be organized and studied within the interindustry framework. A review of the literature indicates that agricultural economists have used input output analysis extensively in production and regional research (7, 10), but its application to agricultural marketing problems has hardly been explored. The main purposes of this paper are (1) to illustrate a few of the more obvious applications of inpu toutput research to problems in agricultural marketing, and (2) to present a recent special aggregation of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Interindustry Study for 1947 (5) which can serve as a benchmark for future work in this area.3 The aggregation highlights farm sectors and agricultural marketing sectors detailed in the Bureau of Labor Statistics approximately 500-sector model. Description of the tables is limited to the essentials needed for an understanding of the suggested applications. The mathematics underlying the analysis appears in a technical appendix (pages 99-101). The author expresses his appreciation to Allen Paul and Frank deLeeuw for their helpful comments.
Optical Coherence Tomography: a window to multiple sclerosis?
Creators: name: Proença, Rita Pinto

description: Abstract Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory immune-mediated demyelinating disease that frequently affects the central nervous system. Approximately 20% of patients have optic neuritis has the first manifestation of the disease. Its frequency, heterogeneity and absence of definitive treatment make it a therapeutic and diagnostic challenge for both the patient and the clinician. Material and methods: Retrospective study of 133 eyes of 87 patients, 38 patients with MS (Group 1), 9 patients with isolated optic neuritis (Group 2) and 40 healthy patients (Group 3) from the Neurophthalmology Department of Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central from January 2013 to August 2015. Patients were characterized according to gender, age, years of follow-up, best corrected visual acuity, presence of other ocular disorders and episodes of optic neuritis. Patients with other ocular pathologies were excluded. Optical coherence tomography (OCT Spectralis, Heidelberg Engineering) of the macular region was done in all patients, followed by automatic segmentation of the retinal layer. Statistical tests were made to calculate statistically significant results between different groups. Results: Of the 87 patients evaluated, the mean age in Group 1 was 41.55 compared to 36.88 in Group 2 and 44.73 in the control group. Mean age of diagnosis for patients with MS was 33.73 years with a mean follow up of 8.01 years, whereas patients with isolated optic neuritis had a mean age of diagnosis of 34.33 years, with a mean follow-up of 2.88 years. Best corrected visual acuity ranged from 0.2 to 1.0 in Group 1 and 0.5 to 1.0 in Group 2. In patients with previous episodes of optic neuritis isolated or associated with multiple sclerosis we observed a statistically significant (p<0.05) reduction of the average retinal thickness as well as a thinner retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer when compared to the control group. Conclusion: Thickness of the internal retinal layers was reduced (retinal nerve, ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer) in a statistically significant value (p<0.05) when compared to the control group.
