description: Additional file 2. Quantification of parasite density using CEQ fragment analysis. DNA samples amplified using primers for microsatellite markers were analysed with CEQ fragment analysis to determine the experimentally observed “measured” relative density ratio of each parasite in each of the known mixtures. The “measured” ratios were compared to the known (expected) “calculated” relative density ratios and plotted to create a standard curve for two parasites. This was repeated for a total of three repetitions. The standard curve (with a slope of 1.010 ± 0.01551 and an r2 value of 0.9914) shows that this method of microsatellite marker analysis using fluorescent primers and fragment analysis can accurately measure a wide range of parasite densities. It also determined that DNA from a second parasite cloned line does not have any significant impact on the ability to quantify the relative density of parasite DNA from the first parasite cloned line.

description: We discuss the implication of the observation of supernova relic neutrinos on the study of the star formation rate (SFR) in galaxies. The limit recently obtained at Super-Kamiokande (SK) is already marginally significant: The SFR we derived $ψ(t_0)<0.040M_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$Mpc$^{-3}$(at a 90% CL) is about twice the SFR estimated from radio observations, and five times the rate from H$α$ allowing for uncertainties in the model supernova neutrino flux.

description: Interferometry of the cosmic 21-cm signal is set to revolutionise our understanding of the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) and the Cosmic Dawn (CD). The culmination of ongoing efforts will be the upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which will provide tomography of the 21-cm signal from the first billion years of our Universe. Using a galaxy formation model informed by high-$z$ luminosity functions, here we forecast the accuracy with which the first phase of SKA-low (SKA1-low) can constrain the properties of the unseen galaxies driving the astrophysics of the EoR and CD. We consider three observing strategies: (i) deep (1000h on a single field); (ii) medium-deep (100hr on 10 independent fields); and (iii) shallow (10hr on 100 independent fields). Using the 21-cm power spectrum as a summary statistic, and conservatively only using the 21-cm signal above the foreground wedge, we predict that all three observing strategies should recover astrophysical parameters to a fractional precision of $\sim 0.1$ -- 10 per cent. The reionisation history is recovered to an uncertainty of $Δz \lesssim 0.1$ (1$σ$) for the bulk of its duration. The medium-deep strategy, balancing thermal noise against cosmic variance, results in the tightest constraints, slightly outperforming the deep strategy. The shallow observational strategy performs the worst, with up to a $\sim 10$ -- 60 per cent increase in the recovered uncertainty. We note, however, that non-Gaussian summary statistics, tomography, as well as unbiased foreground removal would likely favour the deep strategy.

description: We point out a distinguishing difference between constituent quark models based on one-gluon exchange and one-boson exchange dynamics. In the latter one, the P_11 nucleon resonance with predominantly symmetrical spatial wave function in the N=4 band gets strongly attracted such that it drops below some states in the N=2 band. Calculations of strong decay widths are presented in order to establish an identification with experimental states. Our results are relevant for the interpretation of the fourth P_11 resonance that was found in the partial wave analysis of the Zagreb group and recently discussed by Capstick et. al. in the framework of a model based on one-gluon exchange.

description: For a variety of reasons, Spanish growth in demand for organic and integrated products has not kept up with supply. This work focused on the effect of information and sensory issues on purchase behaviour in relation to sustainable agricultural production. Using experimental auctions and results from (trained and untrained) sensory Panels, we studied the preferences for attributes related to food sustainability. Spanish consumers have a positive attitude towards sustainable food due to environmental concerns, health concerns, and trust in certification and market agents. However, the premium they are willing to pay for these products is lower than the current market price. Furthermore, “search” and sensory “experience” influence consumers’ purchase behavior.

description: Additional file 3. Consistency of competition outcomes between biological replicates of NHP4026 versus NF54. The throughput of this optimized competitive growth assays makes it much easier to set up technical replicates, and it also makes it easier to set up biological replicates. Four separate competitions (four biological replicates) of the NF54 versus NHP4026 competition were set up with three technical replicates per biological replicate. Dotted lines at y = 0.05 and y = 0.95 show when the winner of the competition was declared, and the competition was ended. (A) In every biological replicate, NHP4026 outcompeted NF54. The only differences between the biological replicates were the starting ratios (due to variability in counting parasitaemia to start competitions) and the day in which one isolate reached 95% of the population, ending the competition. Biological replicate 1 (NHP4026_1 and NF54_1) took ~ 54 days to complete, biological replicate 2 took ~ 20 days to complete, while biological replicates 3 and 4 took ~ 32 and ~ 38 days, respectively. (B) All biological replicates (with their corresponding technical replicates) were averaged and the mean was plotted along with the standard error. In all replicates, NHP4026 outcompetes NF54.

description: In this paper we compare different force fields that are widely used (Gromacs, Charmm-22/x-Plor, Charmm-27, Amber-1999, OPLS-AA) in biophysical simulations containing aqueous NaCl. We show that the uncertainties of the microscopic parameters of, in particular, sodium and, to a lesser extent, chloride translate into large differences in the computed radial-distribution functions. This uncertainty reflects the incomplete experimental knowledge of the structural properties of ionic aqueous solutions at finite molarity.We discuss possible implications on the computation of potential of mean force and effective potentials.

description: Quantum trajectories describe the stochastic evolution of an open quantum system conditioned on continuous monitoring of its output, such as by an ideal photodetector. Here we derive (non-Markovian) quantum trajectories for realistic photodetection, including the effects of efficiency, dead time, bandwidth, electronic noise, and dark counts. We apply our theory to a realistic cavity QED scenario and investigate the impact of such detector imperfections on the conditional evolution of the system state. A practical theory of quantum trajectories with realistic detection will be essential for experimental and technological applications of quantum feedback in many areas.

description: Global general equilibrium simulations of “regional” (within Sub-Saharan Africa –SSA-) and “multilateral” (Doha and preferential) trade integration are compared to assess policy reform priorities. Their coherence with the objective of agriculture-led industrialization is tested. New results reveal that for SSA regional integration delivers as much as multilateral integration. Multilateral liberalization drives Sub-Saharan African countries further away from agricultural-led industrialization. On the contrary regional integration fosters the production and trade of processed agricultural products. Regional integration has heterogeneous impacts on countries in SSA and gains might be concentrated on a few countries. Accompanying redistributive policies to compensate the loosers might help bring the negotiations further.

description: This paper presents a comparative study between two micro-macro modeling approaches to simulate stress-induced martensitic transformation in shape memory alloys (SMA). One model is a crystal plasticity based model and the other describes the evolution of the microstructure with a Boltzmann-type statistical approach. Both models consider a self-consistent scheme to perform the scale transition from the local thermomechanical behavior to the global one. The way the two modeling approaches describe the local behavior is analyzed. Similarities and differences are pointed out. Numerical simulations of the thermo-mechanical behavior of an isotropic titanium-niobium SMA are performed. These alloys have known a growing interest of scientific community given their high potential for application in the biomedical field. Stress-strain curves obtained from the two simulations are compared with experimental results. Evolutions of volume fractions of martensite variants predicted by the two approaches are compared for <100>, <110> and <111> tensile directions. Due to the absence of comparative studies between multiscale models dedicated for SMA, this paper fills a gap in the state of the art in this field and provides a significant step toward the definition of an efficient numerical tool for the analysis of SMA behavior under multiaxial loadings.

description: This paper compares the performance of two different high-precision, photometric measurement techniques for bright (<11 magnitude) stars using the small telescope systems that today's amateur astronomers typically use. One technique is based on recent work using a beam-shaping diffuser method (Stefansson et al., (2017).) The other is based on the widely used "defocusing" method. We also developed and used a statistical photometric performance model to better understand the error components of the measurements to identify and quantify any difference in performance between the two methods. AstroImageJ (Collins et al. (2017)) was used for the exoplanet image analysis to provide the measured values and exoplanet models described in this study. Both methods were used at the Mark Slade Remote Observatory (MSRO) to conduct in-transit exoplanet observations of exoplanets HAT-P-30b/WASP-51b, HAT-P-16b, and a partial of WASP-93b. Observations of exoplanets KELT-1b and K2-100b and other stars were also performed at the MSRO to further understand and characterize the performance of the diffuser method under various sky conditions. In addition, both in-transit and out-of-transit observations of exoplanets HAT-P-23b, HAT-P-33b, and HAT-P-34b were performed at the Conti Private Observatory. We found that for observing bright stars, the diffuser method outperformed the defocus method when using small telescopes with poor tracking. We also found the diffuser method noticeably reduced the scintillation noise compared with the defocus method and provided high-precision results in typical, average sky conditions through all lunar phases. For small telescopes using excellent auto-guiding techniques and effective calibration procedures, we found the defocus method was equal to or in some cases better than the diffuser method when observing with good-to-excellent sky conditions.

description: Accurate estimation of heading date of paddy rice greatly helps the breeders to understand the adaptability of different crop varieties in a given location. The heading date also plays a vital role in determining grain yield for research experiments. Visual examination of the crop is laborious and time consuming. Therefore, quick and precise estimation of heading date of paddy rice is highly essential. In this work, we propose a simple pipeline to detect regions containing flowering panicles from ground level RGB images of paddy rice. Given a fixed region size for an image, the number of regions containing flowering panicles is directly proportional to the number of flowering panicles present. Consequently, we use the flowering panicle region counts to estimate the heading date of the crop. The method is based on image classification using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We evaluated the performance of our algorithm on five time series image sequences of three different varieties of rice crops. When compared to the previous work on this dataset, the accuracy and general versatility of the method has been improved and heading date has been estimated with a mean absolute error of less than 1 day.

description: The simplest pattern of color superconductivity involves BCS pairing between up and down quarks. We argue that this ``2SC'' phase will not arise within a compact star. A macroscopic volume of quark matter must be electrically neutral and must be a color singlet. Satisfying these requirements imposes a significant free energy cost on the 2SC phase, but not on color-flavor locked (CFL) quark matter, in which up, down and strange quarks all pair. As a function of increasing density, therefore, one may see a single phase transition from hadronic matter directly to CFL quark matter. Alternatively, there may be an intervening phase in which the different flavors self-pair, or pair with each other in a non-BCS pattern, such as in a crystalline color superconductor.

description: This paper investigates the role of infrastructure capital in China’s regional economic development during 1990 to 2009 in a neoclassical economic growth model. Four types of infrastructure capital are discussed; electricity, road, rail, and land-line telephone. The results support a positive role of infrastructure in improving economic wellbeing in China. It shows that infrastructure has contributed to the convergence among China’s provinces. However, declining growth momentum from rapid increase of road infrastructure, in particular for the Western region, suggests that road development in the region has been growing too fast. The results counter the conventional wisdom of “road leads to prosperity” widely accepted among national and local governments in China. Thus, the seemingly productive infrastructure capital, when invested beyond a proper level or speed, will become unproductive. The results resonate with the theoretical literature on the inverse U shaped growth impact of infrastructure capital and the dominant “crowding out” of private capital if there is too much infrastructure. They also address the puzzle in the current literature debates as to the direction and magnitude of the growth impact of infrastructure capital.

description: Indonesia is the largest market for Australian live cattle exports so estimates of income and price elasticities of meat demand in Indonesia may help exporters to set appropriate pricing strategies and to model future demands. In contrast to developed countries, where meat demand studies often use aggregate data, Indonesian studies rely on household surveys, with unit values (ratios of expenditures to quantities) used instead of market prices. When price elasticities of demand are estimated from unit values, various quality and measurement error biases can result. These biases may cause inappropriate pricing and marketing strategies to be adopted by Australian beef and cattle producers and exporters. In this paper, data from 29,000 households on Java are used to estimate a demand system for beef, chicken and other meat groups. Java contains almost two-thirds of the Indonesian population and meat consumption is similarly concentrated there. When estimation procedures are used that correct for the biases caused by unit values, the own-price elasticities of both beef (-0.46) and chicken (-0.42) are smaller than in previous studies. This difference is consistent with the theoretical literature, which suggests that using unit values instead of prices makes own-price elasticities too large in absolute terms. The own-price elasticities for beef are much more sensitive to the choice of procedure for dealing with unit values than are the estimates for chicken. Hence, pricing strategies for beef producers that are based on estimated demand elasticities from Indonesia, may prove to be inappropriate if the wrong method for dealing with unit value biases is used.
Convolution formula and finite W boson width effects in the top quark width

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In the standard model, the top quark decay width Γ_t is computed from the exclusive t -> bW decay. We argue in favor of using the three body decays t-> bf_i\bar{f}_j to compute Γ_t as a sum over these exclusive modes. As dictated by the S-matrix theory, these three body decays of the top quark involve only asymptotic states and incorporate the width of the W boson resonance in a natural way. The convolution formula (CF) commonly used to include the finite width effects is found to be valid, in the general case, when the intermediate resonance couples to a conserved current (limit of massless fermions in the case of W bosons). The relation Gamma_t=Γ(t-> bW) is recovered by taking the limit of massless fermions followed by the W boson narrow width approximation. Although both calculations of Γ_t are different at the formal level, their results would differ only by tiny effects induced by light fermion masses and higher order radiative corrections.

Value of children among the Yoruba of Western and Lagos states of Nigeria : some rural-urban differentials
Creators: name: Mezue, Chike Celestine
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1982
Subjects: subject: Children Nigeria

description: The survey which forms the basis of this study was carried out amongst the Yoruba of the Western and Lagos States of Nigeria, between June and July, 1973» It was the second segment of the Changing African Family Project in Niger ia(CAFN II). Lata were collected on the perceived social, economic and psychological values and costs of children from 2996 Yoruba respondents of both sexes, aged seventeen years and above and living in the two states at the time of the survey. This was the first attempt at gathering comprehensive information on perceived values of children in Western and Lagos States in particular and Nigeria as a whole. This study has specifically attempted to look at the perceived values of children within the Yoruba society from the urban and rural perspective. The fifty sampled centres have been grouped into urban and rural on the basis of their population and existing social and economic facilities in 1973» The study identifies urban and rural differentials in the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the sample population. This socio-economic background affects decisions on family formation, socialization and upbringing of children, attitudes towards family size, sex preference of children and use of birth control methods. Lifferentials in perceived costs of children have also been examined. There has been an on-going debate on rural-urban fertility differentials in Yoruba. society. The observed differentials in this study, have been used to attempt an explanation of the observed rural-urban fertility differential thereby contributing to the rural-urban fertility debate. It is concluded from the CAFII II evidence that contrary to some earlier research findings, rural fertility may be slightly higher than urban.

description: One pot multi-component strategy has been developed for the synthesis of a small library of nineteen 4-aryl-1,4-dihydro-oxochromeno[3,2-b]oxoindeno[6,5-e]pyridine by the condensation of 4-aminocoumarin, aromatic aldehyde and indane-1,3-dione in acetic acid:ethylene glycol (5:1) in good yields along with the formation of di-(4-aminocoumarin-3-yl)arylmethane as by product in three cases. The use of microwave irradiation for the condensation of 4-aminocoumarin, aromatic aldehyde and indane-1,3-dione in acetic acid and ethylene glycol at 200 W and at 120 °C led to the selective formation of 4-aryl-1,4-dihydro-oxochromeno[3,2-b]oxoindeno[6,5-e] pyridine in excellent yields. Interestingly, the side product di-(4-aminocoumarin-3-yl)arylmethane could be converted exclusively to 4-(4'-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-di(oxochromeno[3,2-b:5,6-e])pyridine on microwave irradiation under identical condition.

description: The occurrence of low night temperatures during reproductive development is one of the factors most limiting rice yields in southern Australia. Yield losses due to cold temperature are the result of incomplete pollen formation and subsequent floret sterility. Researchers have found that in 75% of years, rice farmers suffer losses between 0.5 and 2.5 t/ha. Research is being undertaken to identify genetic materials that are cold tolerant under the local weather conditions and by using those genotypes as parent material, develop cold tolerance varieties of rice. A yield simulation model was used to measure reduction in losses due to cold at different minimum threshold temperatures, while the SAMBOY-Rice economic model was used to measure the costs and returns of a breeding program for cold tolerance. The results of the economic analysis reveal that incorporating selection for cold tolerance into the breeding program would lead to significant increase in financial benefits through a reduction in losses due to cold and an increase in yield from the better use of nitrogen by the cold tolerant varieties. The returns to investment in the change to the Australian rice breeding program are estimated to be high.

description: The growing popularity of multimedia applications, pervasive connectivity, higher bandwidth, and euphoric technology penetration among the bulk of the human race that happens to be cellular technology users, has fueled the adaptation to Long Term Evolution (LTE)/ System Architecture Evolution (SAE). The LTE fulfills the resource demands of the next generation applications for now. We identify security issues in the authentication mechanism used in LTE that without countermeasures might give superuser rights to unauthorized users. The LTE uses static LTE Key (LTE-K) to derive the entire key hierarchy such as LTE follows Evolved Packet System-Authentication and Key Agreement (EPS-AKA) based authentication which discloses user identity, location, and other Personally Identifiable Information (PII). To counter this, we propose a public key cryptosystem named International mobile subscriber identity Protected Console Grid-based Authentication and Key Agreement (IPG-AKA) protocol to address the vulnerabilities related to weak key management. From the data obtained from threat modeling and simulation results, we claim that the IPG-AKA scheme not only improves the security of authentication procedures, it also shows improvements in authentication loads and reduction in key generation time. The empirical results and qualitative analysis presented in this paper proves that IPG-AKA improves security in authentication procedure and performance in the LTE.

Definition of programming languages using transformational semantics

description: One method of implementing a high- level language is to translate programs written in it to an intermediate language and interpret the object programs in that intermediate language on the target machine . For an efficient implementation the design of the intermediate language will depend on both the high- level language and the target machine . The idea that an intermediate language suited to the high- level language and a particular target machine can be generated automatically from descriptions of that language and machine is introduced in this thesis. This requires an "interpreter generator" to produce, from the two descriptions , the high- level language compiler producing intermediate language code, and an interpreter for that intermediate language on the target machine . Such a system is discussed in an appendix . This thesis develops a method for describing a high-level language designed for use in the context of an interpreter generator. This method describes a given language by translating it to a target language with known semantics, that is, by transformational semantics . The translation is defined by a high- level programming lan uage desi ned for the purpose . The target language is not machine orien ed and this reduces the possibility of the description method affectin the perceived structure of the high- level language . Four example definitions , one of a subset of Pascal , are given in appendices . Emphasis is placed on designing a practical , rather than theoretical , high- level language description method . The proposed way in which the intermediate language might be extracted from such a description is outlined by a number of examples .
A practical way to regularize unfolding of sharply varying spectra with low data statistics

description: Unfolding is a well-established tool in particle physics. However, a naive application of the standard regularization techniques to unfold the momentum spectrum of protons ejected in the process of negative muon nuclear capture led to a result exhibiting unphysical artifacts. A finite data sample limited the range in which unfolding can be performed, thus introducing a cutoff. A sharply falling "true" distribution led to low data statistics near the cutoff, which exacerbated the regularization bias and produced an unphysical spike in the resulting spectrum. An improved approach has been developed to address these issues and is illustrated using a toy model. The approach uses full Poisson likelihood of data, and produces a continuous, physically plausible, unfolded distribution. The new technique has a broad applicability since spectra with similar features, such as sharply falling spectra, are common.

description: We study top quark Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode mixing in the Randall-Sundrum scenario with all the SM fermions and gauge bosons in the bulk. Even though the simple assumption of universal bulk fermion mass m_psi leads to the same KK mass spectrum for all the SM fermions and thus suppresses new contributions to the flavor changing neutral current and the rho parameter, large Yukawa coupling of the top quark generates the mixing among its KK modes and breaks the degeneracy: Unacceptably large contribution to rho occurs. In order to satisfy the rho constraint, we relax the model by assigning a different bulk fermion mass to SU(2) singlet bottom quark, and demonstrate that there exists some limited parameter space where the $Δρ$ constraint is satisfied. It is also shown that the current measurement of Br(B -> X_s + gamma) can be accommodated in this modified model, and one sigma level precision constrains the effective weak scale k_{EW} such as k_{EW} ~ 3 TeV for m_psi/k=-0.4, where k_{EW} is the warp-suppressed AdS_5 curvature.

description: Few studies of farm technical efficiency consider differences in the physical environments of the farms. This study examines rain-fed broadacre agriculture and shows how neglect of rainfall differences between farms affects measures of farm technical efficiency (TE). Applying data envelopment analysis (DEA) to a sample of broadacre farms, TE measures unconfounded by rainfall variation are generated by specifying rainfall as a non-discretionary production input in an input-orientated DEA model. These unconfounded TE measures are compared to other TE measures generated by a conventional DEA model that does not explicitly include rainfall. The conventional DEA model reports lower levels of technical efficiency suggesting that measurement of TE should, where possible, include environmental effects, such as rainfall. Care is needed in using TE findings for farm management purposes.
