description: Abstract: Background: Crowdsourcing engages the help of large numbers of people in tasks, activities or projects, usually via the internet. One application of crowdsourcing is the screening of citations for inclusion in a systematic review. There is evidence that a ‘Crowd’ of non-specialists can reliably identify quantitative studies, such as randomized controlled trials, through the assessment of study titles and abstracts. In this feasibility study, we investigated crowd performance of an online, topic-based citation-screening task, assessing titles and abstracts for inclusion in a single mixed-studies systematic review. Methods: This study was embedded within a mixed studies systematic review of maternity care, exploring the effects of training healthcare professionals in intrapartum cardiotocography. Citation-screening was undertaken via Cochrane Crowd, an online citizen science platform enabling volunteers to contribute to a range of tasks identifying evidence in health and healthcare. Contributors were recruited from users registered with Cochrane Crowd. Following completion of task-specific online training, the crowd and the review team independently screened 9546 titles and abstracts. The screening task was subsequently repeated with a new crowd following minor changes to the crowd agreement algorithm based on findings from the first screening task. We assessed the crowd decisions against the review team categorizations (the ‘gold standard’), measuring sensitivity, specificity, time and task engagement. Results: Seventy-eight crowd contributors completed the first screening task. Sensitivity (the crowd’s ability to correctly identify studies included within the review) was 84% (N = 42/50), and specificity (the crowd’s ability to correctly identify excluded studies) was 99% (N = 9373/9493). Task completion was 33 h for the crowd and 410 h for the review team; mean time to classify each record was 6.06 s for each crowd participant and 3.96 s for review team members. Replicating this task with 85 new contributors and an altered agreement algorithm found 94% sensitivity (N = 48/50) and 98% specificity (N = 9348/9493). Contributors reported positive experiences of the task. Conclusion: It might be feasible to recruit and train a crowd to accurately perform topic-based citation-screening for mixed studies systematic reviews, though resource expended on the necessary customised training required should be factored in. In the face of long review production times, crowd screening may enable a more time-efficient conduct of reviews, with minimal reduction of citation-screening accuracy, but further research is needed.

The Influence of Personality and The Financial Risk Management Competency of Dairy Farmers in Preparing for Industry Deregulation in SE Queensland.

Year: 2001
Subjects: Risk and Uncertainty

description: It is believed that personality traits, as expounded in the Five-Factor Model of personality, influence objective performance data with respect to various occupations. It is hypothesized that some dairy farmers in S.E. Queensland will, by virtue of their personality traits, be more open to changing circumstances in the vastly different business environment of the deregulated dairy industry. By examining the personality traits of dairy farmers, and linking the possession of certain personality traits to either the possession of, or the ability to acquire, a pyramid of financial risk management competencies, it is hypothesized that some farmers’ competencies will be able to be upgraded easily, that another group will need to outsource services at particular levels on the pyramid (since they won’t have the ability to upgrade their competencies), and that a third group may be able to upgrade their competencies through education. These findings will have implications for the allocation of resources in industry restructuring programs.

description: Parametric nonlinear optical processes allow for the generation of new wavelengths of coherent electromagnetic radiation. Their ability to create radiation that is widely tunable in wavelength is particularly appealing, with applications ranging from spectroscopy to quantum information processing. Unfortunately, existing tunable parametric sources are marred by deficiencies that obstruct their widespread adoption. Here we show that ultrahigh-Q crystalline microresonators made of magnesium fluoride can overcome these limitations, enabling compact and power-efficient devices capable of generating clean and widely-tunable sidebands. We consider several different resonators with carefully engineered dispersion profiles, achieving hundreds of nanometers of sideband tunability in each device when driven with a standard low-power laser at 1550 nm. In addition to direct observations of discrete tunability over an entire optical octave from 1083 nm to 2670 nm, we record signatures of mid-infrared sidebands at almost 4000 nm. The simplicity of the devices considered -- compounded by their remarkable tunability -- paves the way for low-cost, widely-tunable sources of electromagnetic radiation.

description: In this note we approach the question of relative poverty from a different angle. Fixing the poverty line, we ask: What is the extent of poverty relative to the resources available in the society to eradicate it? We argue that the same level of poverty is “worse” if the resources available to address it are greater. We characterize a class of indices that measure Poverty Reduction Failure and provide an empirical illustration of their suitability using data for 94 country observations in 2001.
Semiclassical Behavior of Spinfoam Amplitude with Small Spins and Entanglement Entropy

description: Spinfoam amplitudes with small spins can have interesting semiclassical behavior and relate to semiclassical gravity and geometry in 4 dimensions. We study the generalized spinfoam model (Spinfoams for all loop quantum gravity (LQG)) with small spins $j$ but a large number of spin degrees of freedom (DOFs), and find that it relates to the simplicial Engle-Pereira-Rovelli-Livine-Freidel-Krasnov (EPRL-FK) model with large spins and Regge calculus by coarse-graining spin DOFs. Small-$j$ generalized spinfoam amplitudes can be employed to define semiclassical states in the LQG kinematical Hilbert space. Each of these semiclassical states is determined by a 4-dimensional Regge geometry. We compute the entanglement Rényi entropies of these semiclassical states. The entanglement entropy interestingly coarse-grains spin DOFs in the generalized spinfoam model, and satisfies an analog of the thermodynamical first law. This result possibly relates to the quantum black hole thermodynamics in arXiv:1107.1320.

description: Wealthy individuals often voluntarily provide public goods that the poor also consume. Such philanthropy is commonly perceived as legitimizing one’s wealth. Governments routinely exempt the rich from taxation on grounds of their charitable expenditures. We examine the logic of this exemption. We show that, rather than reducing inequality, philanthropy may actually exacerbate absolute inequality, while leaving the change in relative inequality ambiguous. Additionally, philanthropic preferences may increase the effectiveness of policies to redistribute income, instead of weakening them. Consequently, from an egalitarian perspective, the general case for exempting the wealthy from expropriation, on grounds of their public goods contributions, appears dubious.

description: The phytocenotic variability of the cork oak forests present in the northwesternmost Iberian Peninsula was studied through the analysis of a dataset of 145 new and 39 previously published relevés. The results allowed the recognition of four associations: (1) Arenario montanae-Quercetum suberis ass. nova: thermotemperate xerophytic forests of the Navia River valley (Galice/Asturias boundary); (2) Hedero hibernicae-Quercetum suberis stat. nov.: thermo-(meso-)temperate forests with oceanic influence of the Galician-Portuguese and Inland Galician territories; (3) Physospermo cornubiensis-Quercetum suberis: forests of the mesomediterranean territories of the Sil valley and Lower Bierzo, more thermic and less oceanic than the aforementioned communities; (4) Junipero lagunae-Quercetum suberis: mesomediterranean forests of areas of dry ombroclimate in the NE Portugal. Based on these results, a new interpretation is suggested for the Portuguese cork oak forests that have been considered as belonging to the typical subassociation of Physospermo cornubiensis-Quercetum suberis. The first two associations are part of the phytocenotic transition between the northernmost Mediterranean cork oak forests of the Iberian Peninsula and those present at the SW end of France. The new associations increase the knowledge of the phytosociological variability of habitat type 9330 of Annex I of CD92/43/EEC in the EU.

description: The present study aims at detecting Programmed Cell Death (PCD) related genes that were triggered by exogenous oxalic acid (OA) in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the relative abundance of transcripts of four PCD-related genes in wild type (WT) plants resulted in increased expression levels during the time course of the treatment. The results of virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) lines corresponding to the two genes MEK2 and SGT1 retarded cell death under OA treatment for 24 h, while VIGS corresponding to the other two genes, e.g. BAK1 and plastocyanin resulted in an increased level of cell death. These results indicate that genes MEK2 and SGT1 showed apoptotic activity, while genes BAK1 and plastocyanin showed anti-apoptotic activity. It is speculated that knocking down MEK2 and SGT1 genes or over-expressing BAK1 and plastocyanin might be a possible way to retard the PCD machinery in tomato, thus can result in prolonged fruit setting time.
Do the planets in the HD 34445 system really exist?

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: In 2010 the first planet was discovered around star HD 34445. Recently, another five planets were announced orbiting the same star. It is a rather dense multi-planet system with some of its planets having separations of fractions of an au and minimum masses ranging from Neptune to sub-Jupiter ones. Given the number of planets and the various uncertainties in their masses and orbital elements, the HD 34445 planetary system is quite interesting as there is the potential for mean motion and secular resonances that could render the outcome of its dynamical evolution and fate an open question. In this paper we investigate the dynamical stability of the six planet system in order to check the validity of the orbital solution acquired. This is achieved by a series of numerical experiments, where the dynamical evolution of the system is tested on different timescales. We vary the orbital elements and masses of the system within the error ranges provided. We find that for a large area of the parameter space we can produce stable configurations and therefore conclude it is very likely that the HD 34445 planetary system is real. Some discussion about the potential habitability of the system is also done.

description: The relationship between farm production diversity at the plot level and diversity of household consumption and caloric intake are econometrically estimated. Our results confirm previous findings that an increase in production diversity increases consumption diversity and thereby, presumably, household nutritional levels. In addition, we find a positive relationship between diversity of farm production and caloric intake. Three waves of the World Bank LSMS-ISA database for Uganda were used to create a panel data set. Fixed effects models were estimated. Preliminary results indicate that households that produce a greater diversity of crops, have higher food expenditures, have larger farms, and consume more from their own production have higher nutrition diversity and caloric intake. Policy implications are that strategies aimed at increasing household production diversity may have positive effects on household nutritional levels and caloric intake.

description: In 1863 white settlement in south east New South Wales was little over forty years old. In this large region, about sixtv thousand people lived and worked, almost all of them in tiny settlements or on sheep stations. There were few roads , no railways and few other services. During the next four decades, the population more than doubled, future urban and economic patterns were settled, and almost all of the services necessary to a contemporary community were introduced. This the sis examines separately several important aspects of community life during these years, and evaluates their importance in determining the character of the society of the region.

description: Literature is awash with strategies of how the farm productivity of the smallholder agricultural sector can be transformed to equal that of the commercial sector. Policy options that have been suggested to transform smallholder agriculture have centred on increasing state financial investments in areas such as infrastructural development, mechanisation and market access. However, this paper provides a practical demonstration of how prioritising investment in research and development (R&D can achieve this goal. It particularly focuses on how consistent funding towards breeding can lead to the establishment of a strong industry that can remain productive in face of various changes in the market, production environment and institutional domains. Using the Cost-Benefit variation of the Economic Surplus Approach, the paper shows that the use of new locally bred peach varieties, as opposed to obsolete and imported varieties has yielded benefits estimated to range around R61.2 million (inflation adjusted to 2013 values). The results suggest two conclusions. First, R&D investment plays a pivotal role in enabling agricultural production to remain lucrative through various industry dynamics and will be important in the transformation of the smallholder agricultural sector. Second, increasing research investment can help countries achieve goals of economic growth in the domestic economy as the benefits of breeding investment were found to benefit local producers. Recommendations are made encouraging the prioritisation of R&D investment in all African agricultural industries as locally developed technologies are more likely to address Africa’s production problems rather than imported technologies.

description: We study equilibrium sequences of close binary systems on circular orbits and composed of different mass stars with polytropic equation of state in Newtonian gravity. The solving method is a multidomain spectral method which we have recently developed. The computations are performed for both cases of synchronized and irrotational binary systems with adiabatic indices $γ= 3, 2.5, 2.25, 2$ and 1.8, and for three mass ratios: $M_1/M_2 =0.5, 0.2$ and 0.1. It is found that the equilibrium sequences always terminate at a mass shedding limit (appearance of a cusp on the surface of the less massive star). For synchronized binaries, this contrasts with the equal mass case, where the sequences terminate instead by a contact configuration. Regarding the turning point of the total angular momentum (or total energy) along a sequence, we find that it is difficult to get it for small mass ratios. Indeed, we do not find any turning points for $M_1/M_2 \le 0.5$ in the irrotational case. However, in the synchronized case, it becomes easier again to find one for mass ratios much smaller than $M_1/M_2 \sim 0.2$.

description: An abundant literature exists on measuring the effects pricing and trade policy on agricultural commodity prices since the seminal work by Krueger, Schiff and Valdes (1991) and then the massive worldwide project led by Kym Anderson (2009) on distortions to agricultural incentives. Much less empirical analysis is available on the effects of market and policy failures on production incentives or disincentives. This is most likely due to the difficulty of disentangling the effects of explicit policy instruments from other factors influencing price levels. In addition, this topic is much less relevant for high income countries where most of the OECD type of policy measurement work has occurred. Important challenges related to data scarcity in developing countries as well as methodological options have also prevented researchers from further investigating this topic. In this paper, these other factors are described as the Market Development Gap. The Market Development Gap is a concept that refers to the excessive marketing costs and inefficient price transmission resulting from poorly functioning market, inadequate market structure and uncompetitive behavior of agents in the value chains. The paper attempts to identify the major sources of market development gap in African commodity markets and proposes a methodological framework to measure it as a residual of price gap and the estimated policy-induced price gap. This methodology is applied to several commodities in Uganda. We find a number of cases where the estimation of the market development gap helps to better understand the factors driving the important disincentives affecting producers.

description: Blockchain gaming is an emerging entertainment paradigm. However, blockchain games are still suffering from security issues, due to the immature blockchain technologies and its unsophisticated developers. In this work, we analyzed the blockchain game architecture and reveal the possible penetration methods of cracking. We scanned more than 600 commercial blockchain games to summarize a security overview from the perspective of the web server and smart contract, respectively. We also conducted three case studies for blockchain games to show detailed vulnerability detection.

description: Abstract: Background/objectives: Late presentation of congenital cataract in the developing world has led to poor outcomes such that cataract is the leading cause of childhood blindness. Our hypothesis was that, sensitivity of red-reflex testing is greater than sensitivity of torchlight examination. We aimed to compare sensitivity of new red reflex screening tools and assess the feasibility of Arclight red reflex screening in the community. Subject/methods: We compared the diagnostic accuracy of four different screening tools for cataract and retinoblastoma performed by ophthalmic nurses, using a clinic based enriched sample of 41 positives and 60 negatives. We then conducted a separate feasibility study, training non-specialist community nurses. Following the training, community nurses examined 2827 children <5 years with Arclight who were attending their clinics for growth monitoring and immunisation. Findings: Diagnostic accuracy study: estimated sensitivities were 97.6% for Catcam, 92.7% for Arclight, 90.2% for PEEK retina and 7.3% for torchlight. Estimated specificities were above 90% for Catcam, Arclight and torchlight and 87% for PEEK retina. Feasibility study: twenty-four out of 2728 children screened failed community screening, seven were true positive (six cataract, one retinoblastoma). Prevalence of bilateral cataract was 1.5/1000 (95% CI: 0.40–3.75 per 1000). Conclusions: Arclight and CatCam have higher sensitivity than torchlight, are easy to learn and use by primary health care nurses. Red reflex testing should be recommended in the WHO guidelines instead of torchlight examination to help early detection of potential blinding causes including congenital cataract and retinoblastoma.

description: We employ a non-unitary household model to analyze the main Pigeonpea seed channels for in Kenya. The paper is based on a household survey conducted on a 500 randomly selected households within three counties of Eastern Kenya. The study sites are based on the distance from the main trading center (county headquarters) which informs agro business infrastructure. We assess the participation in seed channels with regards to joint plots, women plots and male plots for Pigeonpeas legumes. More than half of the Pigeonpea plots (>50 %) in the sample are managed jointly by men and women; while around 10% are managed entirely by women. There were very few plots (<1%) managed by men alone. The main legumes seed sources are own saved seeds and cereal stockists. There is very limited sourcing from the certified seed channel (<10%), the certified seeds from agrovets are only acquired for joint plots. Using a multinomial logistic regression, we analyze the factors influencing the choice of Pigeonpea seed channels, encompassing characteristics of the wife of the household head. Literate wives and wives with high exposure to extension services were more likely to access seed from the agrovets, these variables were however not significant for the male head. Other significant determinants were total livestock unit, distance to the source of seed, amount of seed required, location of the household, and occupation. We conclude that targeting women farmers with knowledge and capacity building on the advantages of using certified seeds for legumes has the potential to enhance adoption of legumes in Eastern Kenya, education levels notwithstanding.

description: Aiming to settle the controversial observations for halogen-bridged binuclear transition-metal (MMX) complexes, finite-temperature Hartree-Fock calculations are performed for a relevant two-band Peierls-Hubbard model. Thermal, as well as quantum, phase transitions are investigated with particular emphasis on the competition between electron itinerancy, electron-phonon interaction and electron-electron correlation. Recently observed distinct thermal behaviors of two typical MMX compounds Pt_2(CH_3CS_2)_4I and (NH_4)_4[Pt_2(P_2O_5H_2)_4I]2H_2O are supported and further tuning of their electronic states is predicted.

description: Abstract: Synthetic gene oscillators have the potential to control timed functions and periodic gene expression in engineered cells. Such oscillators have been refined in bacteria in vitro, however, these systems have lacked the robustness and precision necessary for applications in complex in vivo environments, such as the mammalian gut. Here, we demonstrate the implementation of a synthetic oscillator capable of keeping robust time in the mouse gut over periods of days. The oscillations provide a marker of bacterial growth at a single-cell level enabling quantification of bacterial dynamics in response to inflammation and underlying variations in the gut microbiota. Our work directly detects increased bacterial growth heterogeneity during disease and differences between spatial niches in the gut, demonstrating the deployment of a precise engineered genetic oscillator in real-life settings.

description: MYB transcription factors are among important regulators of abiotic stress responses, including response to the major agricultural constraint of increased salinity. To determine MYB gene family members associated with stress in the major starch crop banana (Musa acuminata Colla) a genome-wide analysis was made. A non-redundant set of 154 MYB genes (MaMYB) is predicted to encode proteins with variable lengths mostly localised in the nucleus. Based on the conserved repeats, MaMYB fall into subfamilies R1-MYB, R2R3-MYB and R1R2R3-MYB, with the majority (80.5%) in the R2R3-MYB subfamily. Ontology prediction indicates the involvement of MaMYB in the regulation of plant development, metabolism, cellular and various stress responses. MaMYB genes show ubiquitous distribution among the 11 banana chromosomes with the highest density in chromosome 9 (11.04%). The chromosomal distribution pattern strongly indicates that dispersed duplication mainly contributed to the expansion within the MaMYB gene family in the banana. Phylogenetic analysis identified three R2R3-MaMYB gene candidates with high similarity to salt responsive orthologues from other species. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed MaMYB14, MaMYB63 and MaMYB110 to have significantly increased expression in the roots of banana plants exposed to salt stress.
