description: Data editing plays an important role in the survey process. The National Agricultural Statistics Service currently uses, in addition to some manual editing, an interactive micro-level edit system or a batch micro-level edit system, and an interactive macro-level edit system to edit reported data. Advantages of using these two edit systems are that: 1) the most complex edits can be incorporated and 2) the impact of editing at aggregate levels can be readily evaluated. There are, however, disadvantages with the use of the two edit systems: 1) a considerable amount of time and resources may be expended and 2) editing may not always be performed in a consistent manner. This paper evaluates a generalized automated edit and imputation system developed by the author called the Agricultural Generalized Imputation and Edit System (AGGIES). The AGGIES is appealing for the following reasons: 1) editing and imputation are fully automated, 2) the system provides consistency in the edit and imputation process, and 3) the system can be easily applied to any number of surveys, thus conserving resources to the development and maintenance of a single system. Comparisons between the AGGIES and the current edit and imputation procedures are made for expanded totals and the number and magnitude of variable changes. The data used for these comparisons are obtained from the Quarterly Hog Survey. The results reveal that the expanded totals obtained from using the AGGIES are similar to those obtained from the current edit and imputation procedures. Further testing on more applications is recommended.

description: We introduce a two-dimensional generalisation of the quasiperiodic Aubry-André model. Even though this model exhibits the same duality relation as the one-dimensional version, its localisation properties are found to be substantially more complex. In particular, partially extended single-particle states appear for arbitrarily strong quasiperiodic modulation. They are concentrated on a network of low-disorder lattice lines, while the rest of the lattice hosts localised states. This spatial separation protects the localised states from delocalisation, so no mobility edge emerges in the spectrum. Instead, localised and partially extended states are interspersed, giving rise to an unusual type of mixed spectrum and enabling complex dynamics even in the absence of interactions. A striking example is ballistic transport across the low-disorder lines while the rest of the system remains localised. This behaviour is robust against disorder and other weak perturbations. Our model is thus directly amenable to experimental studies and promises fascinating many-body localisation properties.

Comparative Analysis on the Impact of Paradiplomacy on Economic Development in the United States-Mexico Border Region
Creators: name: Estrada, Rodrigo
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2021

description: Paradiplomacy is a relatively new international phenomenon that blurs the lines between local and global affairs. Greater exposure to international forces and opportunities has prompted local governments to act beyond their own jurisdictions. The external actions of internal actors can help account for differences in economic development between places like El Paso, TX and McAllen, TX. In the early 1980s, the border cities of McAllen and El Paso represented distinct stages of economic development. Agriculture prevailed in McAllen while manufacturing was dominant in El Paso. However, the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994 profoundly altered the United States-Mexico border region by creating new avenues for paradiplomacy. While El Paso struggled after the passage of NAFTA, McAllen successfully capitalized on new opportunities south of the border. In 2015, McAllen surpassed El Paso to become the fifth largest metropolitan area in Texas (Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas 2018). This thesis presents a comparative study on the role of paradiplomacy in channeling the benefits of trade liberalization and in explaining contrasting patterns in economic development post-NAFTA. The findings indicate that the presence of sustained and coordinated paradiplomacy in McAllen spurred economic development as documented across three major policy areas including business recruitment, infrastructure, and higher education. In contrast, the underutilization of paradiplomacy in El Paso led to missed economic opportunities and limited development planning.

description: Abstract: We propose a numerical methodology for the simultaneous numerical simulation of four states of matter: gas, liquid, elastoplastic solids, and plasma. The distinct, interacting physical processes are described by a combination of compressible, inert, and reactive forms of the Euler equations, multi-phase equations, elastoplastic equations, and resistive MHD equations. Combinations of systems of equations are usually solved by coupling finite element for solid modelling and CFD models for fluid modelling or including material effects through boundary conditions rather than full material discretisation. Our simultaneous solution methodology lies on the recasting of all the equations in the same, hyperbolic form allowing their solution on the same grid with the same finite volume numerical schemes. We use a combination of sharp- and diffuse-interface methods to track or capture material interfaces, depending on the application. The communication between the distinct systems of equations (i.e., materials separated by sharp interfaces) is facilitated by means of mixed-material Riemann solvers at the boundaries of the systems, which represent physical material boundaries. To this end, we derive approximate mixed-material Riemann solvers for each pair of the above models based on characteristic equations. To demonstrate the applicability of the new methodology, we consider a case study, where we investigate the possibility of ignition of a combustible gas that lies over a liquid in a metal container that is struck by a plasma arc akin to a lightning strike. We study the effect of the metal container material and its conductivity on the ignition of the combustible gas, as well as the effects of an additional dielectric coating, the sensitivity of the gas, and differences between scenarios with sealed and pre-damaged metal surfaces.

description: In the large N_c(number of colors) limit, quenched QCD and QCD are identical. This implies that, in the effective field theory framework, some of the low energy constants in (N_c=3) quenched QCD and QCD are the same up to higher-order corrections in the 1/N_c expansion. Thus the calculation of the nonleptonic kaon decays relevant for the Delta I=1/2 rule in the quenched approximation is expected to differ from the unquenched one by an O(1/N_c) correction. However, the calculation relevant to the CP-violation parameter epsilon'/epsilon would have a relatively big higher-order correction due to the large cancellation in the leading order. Some important weak matrix elements are poorly known that even constraints with 100% errors are interesting. In those cases, quenched calculations will be very useful.

description: We have applied the extended factorization scheme to investigate the electroweak pion production on nuclei. The ANL-Osaka model, which was obtained by analyzing the data of $πN$, $γN$, $N(e,e'π)$ and $N(ν,μ\,π) $ reactions up to invariant mass $W=$ 2 GeV, is used to generate the matrix elements of current operators relevant to pion-production off the nucleon. Medium effects on the $Δ$ (1232) component of meson-exchange current are included by using a $Δ$-nucleus potential determined from the previous $Δ$-hole model studies of pion-nucleus reactions. Nuclear correlations in the initial target state and in the spectator system(s) are modeled using realistic hole spectral functions. As a first step, we show that the data of $^{12}$C$(e,e')$ up to the $Δ$ (1232) region can be described reasonably well. The interplay between the pion production and two-body meson-exchange mechanisms is shown to be essential in improving the agreement with the data in the ``dip'' region, between the quasielastic and the $Δ$ (1232) peaks. Predictions for $^{12}$C$(ν,μ\,π)$ have also been made. They can be used to estimate pion-emission rates in neutrino-nucleus cross section, which constitutes an important systematic uncertainty to the reconstructed neutrino energy. With further improvements of the Metropolis Monte-Carlo techniques to account for final states comprised of more than two particles, our approach can be employed up to $W=$ 2 GeV, where two-pion production and higher mass nucleon resonances must be included for analyzing the data from accelerator-based neutrino-oscillation experiments.

DC-associated markers (CD8α, CD80, CD86, CD11c, and CD11b) were employed to identify the subset of DCs, which was achieved by FCM. DCs marked by the co-stimulatory signals (CD80, CD86) are more than 85%. 36.7% were marked by DCs defining marker CD11c, among of which 12.9% were CD11b-marked cells. And these markers defined the DC subset that is committed to play critical role in T cell activation. C, D. CD40 Ab and OK-432 synergistically activate the expression of CD80. The experiment was performed in six groups, including three control groups: Neg-Ctrl (without any agent), Ag-Ctrl (with anergic antigen), and TNF-α (positive control), and three test groups: CD40 Ab, OK-432, and 40432 group (combinational group, CD40 Ab and OK-432). Compared to the control groups (Neg-Ctrl, Ag-Ctrl, and TNF-α), expression of CD80 can be separately improved by CD40 Ab, and OK-432, and the synergistic group 40432 was most significantly improved.

description: The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) surveys farmers and ranchers across the United States and Puerto Rico in order to estimate crop production and number of livestock, to assess production practices, and to identify economic trends. Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) involves an interviewer going to the respondent with the questionnaire displayed on a computer (generally a laptop). All responses are captured on the computer. Although CAPI has been around since the 1980’s, all previous forms of CAPI have centered around both the data and the data collection instrument being stored on the device. Also, over the past three years, there have been several accounts of agencies and businesses losing or having laptops stolen containing clients’ personal information. Although the possibility of someone bypassing the security mechanisms of the device and decrypting the data is small, it still exists. This possibility of data being compromised combined with the sensationalism of the news media can cause the general public to question the advisability of participating in surveys, adversely affecting the entire survey industry. NASS’ CAPI solution, coined thin client CAPI, is an innovative thin client approach which leverages wireless broadband technology and a recently completed web-based data collection system called Electronic Data Reporting (EDR). In general, a field interviewer using a low-cost netbook accesses the Internet using a wireless aircard. The field interviewer accesses NASS’ data collection website and brings up the questionnaires that need to be completed by that particular agricultural operation. The interview is completed real-time over the Internet with no data ever residing on the netbook.

description: In an effort to increase response rates, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) began experimenting with monetary incentives in 2004. Follow-up assessments of the monetary incentive in 2005 demonstrated that ATM cash cards are beneficial in increasing Agricultural Resource Management Survey Phase III (ARMS III) response rates and decreasing survey costs; however, it is unknown which sampled units would have responded without the incentive. This paper discusses the use of data mining to identify likely ARMS III respondents. A series of models were built using 2002 Census of Agriculture data to predict several years of ARMS III sample respondents before (2003-2004) incentives were introduced. These models were applied to the years after incentives were introduced (2005-2007) to confirm that they continued to identify likely respondents. The respondent prediction models discussed in this report enable NASS to flag persons likely to respond given no incentive. Providing incentives to these respondents requires substantial costs, but likely does not increase overall response rates. In addition, if providing them incentives does increase response rates, it may increase them in such a way that NASS estimates are further biased if only more of the same type of operations opt to respond.

description: We study the time evolution of magnetization and entanglement for initial states with local excitations, created upon the ferromagnetic ground state of the XY chain. For excitations corresponding to a single or two well separated domain walls, the magnetization profile has a simple hydrodynamic limit, which has a standard interpretation in terms of quasiparticles. In contrast, for a spin-flip we obtain an interference term, which has to do with the nonlocality of the excitation in the fermionic basis. Surprisingly, for the single domain wall the hydrodynamic limit of the entropy and magnetization profiles are found to be directly related. Furthermore, the entropy profile is additive for the double domain wall, whereas in case of the spin-flip excitation one has a nontrivial behaviour.

description: Responsibility for the United States Census of Agriculture was transferred from the U. S. Census Bureau to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) for the 1997 Census. Substantial changes are planned for the report forms and instructions to be used in the following 2002 Census of Agriculture. Changes include content, wording, and format of the report forms. Due to the magnitude of the changes to the 2002 report form, a multi-phase test was conducted to evaluate and improve the quality of the data collected with this form. This Census Content Test was conducted in three phases : 1) cognitive pretesting, 2) split panel pilot test with 3 versions of a new draft report form, and 3) follow up interviews. A toll free telephone number respondents could call for assistance was printed on all of the report forms mailed out in the second phase of the Census Content Test. This number was staffed by NASS enumerators throughout the data collection period. Calls made by respondents to the help line were evaluated as part of the Census Content Test. The number and type of problems that respondents reported in calls to the toll free telephone line was compared across the different versions of the forms and for different types of respondents. Examples of problems which indicated areas where forms or instructions might be improved are provided. How this evaluation was used to support other types of evaluations in the content test is also discussed.

description: Electronic band structure for electrons bound on periodic minimal surfaces is differential-geometrically formulated and numerically calculated. We focus on minimal surfaces because they are not only mathematically elegant (with the surface characterized completely in terms of "navels") but represent the topology of real systems such as zeolites and negative-curvature fullerene. The band structure turns out to be primarily determined by the topology of the surface, i.e., how the wavefunction interferes on a multiply-connected surface, so that the bands are little affected by the way in which we confine the electrons on the surface (thin-slab limit or zero thickness from the outset). Another curiosity is that different minimal surfaces connected by the Bonnet transformation (such as Schwarz's P- and D-surfaces) possess one-to-one correspondence in their band energies at Brillouin zone boundaries.

Breast cancer
ERα-36
Progesterone receptor
Transcription
Biomarker

description: Abstract: Background: Alterations in estrogen and progesterone signaling, via their respective receptors, estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and progesterone receptor (PR), respectively, are largely involved in the development of breast cancer (BC). The recent identification of ERα-36, a splice variant of ERα, has uncovered a new facet of this pathology. Although ERα-36 expression is associated with poor prognosis, metastasis development, and resistance to treatment, its predictive value has so far not been associated with a BC subtype and its mechanisms of action remain understudied. Methods: To study ERα-36 expression in BC specimens, we performed immunochemical experiments. Next, the role of ERα-36 in progesterone signaling was investigated by generating KO clones using the CRISPR/CAS9 technology. PR signaling was also assessed by proximity ligation assay, Western blotting, RT-QPCR, and ChIP experiments. Finally, proliferation assays were performed with the IncuCyte technology and migration experiments using scratch assays. Results: Here, we demonstrate that ERα-36 expression at the plasma membrane is correlated with a reduced disease-free survival in a cohort of 160 BC patients, particularly in PR-positive tumors, suggesting a crosstalk between ERα-36 and PR. Indeed, we show that ERα-36 interacts constitutively with PR in the nucleus of tumor cells. Moreover, it regulates PR expression and phosphorylation on key residues, impacting the biological effects of progesterone. Conclusions: ERα-36 is thus a regulator of PR signaling, interfering with its transcriptional activity and progesterone-induced anti-proliferative effects as well as migratory capacity. Hence, ERα-36 may constitute a new prognostic marker as well as a potential target in PR-positive BC.

description: This note summarizes much of the theory behind the use of the Delete-a- Group (DAG) jackknife with calibrated survey data like that coming from the third phase of the Agricultural Resources and Management Survey (ARMS III). A DAG jackknife employing 15 sets of replicate weights is used for variance estimation with ARMS-III data. Many analyses of this data are conducted by the Economics Research Service and by other agricultural economists outside of the US Department of Agriculture, making a portable variance-estimation technique like the DAG jackknife especially desirable. Some suggestions are offered to improve the present methodology.

The calculations are performed within the context of an effective Lagrangian model containing both the $Δ$-resonant mechanism and a background of non-resonant contributions to the $γp \to γπ^0 p$ reaction. Results are shown both for existing and forthcoming $γp \to γπ^0 p$ experiments. In particular, the sensitivity of unpolarized cross sections and photon asymmetries to the $Δ^+$ magnetic dipole moment is displayed for those forthcoming data.

Apical part of aedeagus slightly curved, with a dorsal, longitudinal groove, and a dorsal pointed lobe on the right side.
 Etymology. The species name is a Latin adjective (lugubris, -is, -e = mourning).
 Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 4.3 mm), EAST MALAYSIA: NORTH BORNEO: SABAH; labels: 1) BRITISH N. BORNEO / Mt. Kinabalu, Kam-/baranga, 2140 m / x-22–30-1958 2) T. C. Maa / Collector / BISHOP (BPBM).
 Distribution. North Borneo.
 Diagnosis. Saccharodite lugubris can be easily recognized by its brown and orange coloration of body and forewings and by the face having an angulated profile. It shows some similarities to Sa. rufa sp. nov., also from Borneo, which, however, has a less infuscated and more red coloration, as well as a different structure of the male aedeagus.

description: ABSTRACT

 Background: perception of stress is a section of student life. This study aimed to determine the perception of Stress, its associated factors, and Coping Strategies among undergraduate Students at Mogadishu University.

Method: a cross-sectional study was conducted among 331 students at Mogadishu University.Data was collected on the basis questionnaire of Sociodemographic Factors such as age, gender, marital status, academic factors, personal factor and copping strategies among student in Mogadishu university. Correlation analysis was used to explore levels of stress its associated factors and copy strategy.

Result: The main purpose of this study to determine the perceived stress, its associated factors and copy strategy. Based on the stress level of observed in this study majority of the PSS score (84.3%) collected was between 14 and 26 that would be considerate moderate stress. The current study has found a significant relationship between tobacco (hot filter) and stress level (p = 0.019) betweenthe complementary variables. Even though half of the study's respondents (100%) were Muslim (religion was Islam), where was prohibited tobacco within the Muslim community.

A significant relationship between tobacco (hot filter) and stress level was still found (p = 0.012). In terms of academic pressure, the result was also found to be statistically significant (p = 0.020). After analyzing the collected data, a significant relationship between the use of emotional support and the level of stress was discovered p < 0.001.

Conclusion in this study, students perceive stress to be more challenging. Strategies must be focused on addressing issues in order to reduce the strain on students. Students need to learn mindfulness meditation methods to assist them survive with the demanding degree programmer.

To reduce the stress workload, multiple programmers are needed. All the same, from another perspective, the majority of the students were observed to be in control of their feelings and study

 

livelihoods. The results of this research could be applied to recognize stress levels, factors associated, and coping strategies for educational qualifications management.

description: Abstract: Neuronal networks, especially those in the central nervous system (CNS), evolved to support extensive functional capabilities while ensuring stability. Several physiological “brakes” that maintain the stability of the neuronal networks in a healthy state quickly become a hinderance postinjury. These “brakes” include inhibition from the extracellular environment, intrinsic factors of neurons and the control of neuronal plasticity. There are distinct differences between the neuronal networks in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the CNS. Underpinning these differences is the trade-off between reduced functional capabilities with increased adaptability through the formation of new connections and new neurons. The PNS has “facilitators” that stimulate neuroregeneration and plasticity, while the CNS has “brakes” that limit them. By studying how these “facilitators” and “brakes” work and identifying the key processes and molecules involved, we can attempt to apply these theories to the neuronal networks of the CNS to increase its adaptability. The difference in adaptability between the CNS and PNS leads to a difference in neuroregenerative properties and plasticity. Plasticity ensures quick functional recovery of abilities in the short and medium term. Neuroregeneration involves synthesizing new neurons and connections, providing extra resources in the long term to replace those damaged by the injury, and achieving a lasting functional recovery. Therefore, by understanding the factors that affect neuroregeneration and plasticity, we can combine their advantages and develop rehabilitation techniques. Rehabilitation training methods, coordinated with pharmacological interventions and/or electrical stimulation, contributes to a precise, holistic treatment plan that achieves functional recovery from nervous system injuries. Furthermore, these techniques are not limited to limb movement, as other functions lost as a result of brain injury, such as speech, can also be recovered with an appropriate training program.

description: U.S. citizens have access to some of the most advanced health care systems in the world, and Texas is no exception. However, it is widely documented that there are areas of relative scarcity of health providers. These underserved areas have been delineated at the county as well as for metropolitan areas level for many areas in the U.S., including Texas, with a focus on access to primary care physicians (PCPs). However, health and disease treatment is also strongly dependent upon access to other health care providers such as medical specialists (e.g., cardiologists, pulmonologists, and endocrinologists), as well as dietitians and nutritionists, besides PCPs. The need for medical specialists is generally perceived to be more acute in the more rural areas of the state. In this paper we contribute towards a better understanding of health care needs by developing health care availability metrics that include a more comprehensive list of the types of health care providers for the three major disease conditions in Texas, namely cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic diseases. In collaboration with healthcare specialists, we develop county-level health provider availability indices and integrate the data in a user-friendly GIS map of health care provision needs and availability that can be used by state, local and private agencies to improve health care provision to underserved areas in particular, but also to all other regions in the Texas. While some urban areas may well be underserved, this paper focusses on rural Texas counties, as defined by the USDA-ERS. Finally, we provide prescriptions for bridging the gap between surplus and deficit areas of health care provision.

description: We present results on the QCD phase diagram for mu_B <= pi T. Our simulations are performed with an imaginary chemical potential mu_I for which the fermion determinant is positive. On an 8^3 x 4 lattice with 2 flavors of staggered quarks, we map out the phase diagram and identify the pseudo-critical temperature T_c(mu_I). For mu_I/T <= pi/3, this is an analytic function, whose Taylor expansion is found to converge rapidly, with truncation errors far smaller than statistical ones. The truncated series may then be continued to real mu, yielding the corresponding phase diagram for mu_B

description: Fake news and misinformation have been increasingly used to manipulate popular opinion and influence political processes. To better understand fake news, how they are propagated, and how to counter their effect, it is necessary to first identify them. Recently, approaches have been proposed to automatically classify articles as fake based on their content. An important challenge for these approaches comes from the dynamic nature of news: as new political events are covered, topics and discourse constantly change and thus, a classifier trained using content from articles published at a given time is likely to become ineffective in the future. To address this challenge, we propose a topic-agnostic (TAG) classification strategy that uses linguistic and web-markup features to identify fake news pages. We report experimental results using multiple data sets which show that our approach attains high accuracy in the identification of fake news, even as topics evolve over time.

description: It is known that every infinite index quasi-convex subgroup $H$ of a non-elementary hyperbolic group $G$ is a free factor in a larger quasi-convex subgroup of $G$. We give a probabilistic generalization of this result. That is, we show that when $R$ is a subgroup generated by independent random walks in $G$, then $\langle H, R\rangle\cong H\ast R$ with probability going to one as the lengths of the random walks go to infinity and this subgroup is quasi-convex in $G$. Moreover, our results hold for a large class of groups acting on hyperbolic metric spaces and subgroups with quasi-convex orbits. In particular, when $G$ is the mapping class group of a surface and $H$ is a convex cocompact subgroup we show that $\langle H, R\rangle$ is convex cocompact and isomorphic to $ H\ast R$.

description: The social origin of elites is important as it, first, affects the political decision-making, and second, is an indicator of social mobility important for the stability of a political system. However, how does the consolidation of an authoritarian regime affect the composition of elites in terms of their social origin? This study investigates this question looking at a sample of Russian regional governors in the period of 1992–2016. We document a gradual decrease of the share of governors from peasants’ and workers’ families, which is most likely related to abandoning the Soviet elite recruitment practices. At the same time, the main beneficiaries of the change (outside the ethnic regions) are not the most privileged groups (children of high-ranked bureaucrats and politicians) but rather offspring of intelligentsia (doctors, teachers and engineers). Interestingly, the military social origin became more important prior to Putin’s presidency, during the era when Russian politics was more competitive and pluralist.

description: With the richness of present-day hardware architectures, tightening the synergy between hardware and software has attracted a great attention. The interest in unified approaches paved the way for newborn frameworks that target hardware and software co-design. This paper confirms that a unified statistical framework can successfully classify algorithms based on a combination of the heterogeneous characteristics of their hardware and software implementations. The proposed framework produces customizable indicators for any hybridization of processing systems and can be contextualized for any area of application. The framework is used to develop the Lightness Indicator System (LIS) as a case-study that targets a set of cryptographic algorithms that are known in the literature to be tiny and light. The LIS targets state-of-the-art multi-core processors and high-end Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The presented work includes a generic benchmark model that aids the clear presentation of the framework and extensive performance analysis and evaluation.
