Subjects: Livestock Production/Industries

description: Excerpts from the report: Coyotes are a major cause of sheep loss in the western United States. This preliminary report features data on death losses gathered as part of a USDA project funded by Congress to make a comprehensive analysis of the sheep-predator issue, including the economic, environmental, and social impacts of alternative predator control policies. The loss estimates are based upon reports from about 9,000 producers surveyed in January 1975 by the Statistical Reporting Service in cooperation with the Economic Research Service. Each surveyed producer reported his sheep inventory and lamb crop, and estimated his losses of sheep and lambs to various causes such as weather, disease, coyotes, and other predators.

description: The magnetoelectronic properties of quasi-one-dimensional zigzag graphene nanoribbons are investigated by using the Peierls tight-binding model. Quasi-Landau levels (QLLs), dispersionless Landau subbands within a certain region of k-space, are resulted from the competition between magnetic and quantum confinement effects. In bilayer system, the interlayer interactions lead to two groups of QLLs, one occurring at the Fermi level and the other one occurring at higher energies. Transverse electric fields are able to distort energy spectrum, tilt two groups of QLLs and cause semiconductor-metal transition. From the perspective of wave functions, the distribution of electrons is explored, and the evolution of Landau states under the influence of electric fields is clearly discussed. More interestingly, the band mixing phenomena exhibited in the energy spectrum are related to the state mixing, which can be apparently seen in the wave functions. The density of states, which could be verified through surface inspections and optical experiments, such as scanning tunneling spectroscopy and absorption spectroscopy, is provided at last.

description: Neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction are early events in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and contribute to neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. The CD74-MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor) axis is a mediator of the neuroinflammatory response. DRhQ competitively inhibits MIF-CD74 binding and elicits beneficial effects in other neurodegenerative disease models. Here we evaluate its effects in β-amyloid (Aβ) overexpressing mice.

Рассматриваются такие вопросы, как система фортов, соотношение кавалерии и пехоты в гарнизоне, какие именно алы и когорты дислоцировались в этом районе. Большую роль в обороне вала играли смешанные когорты, имевшие в составе как кавалерию, так и пехоту. Местный ландшафт не способствовал действиям больших конных отрядов, тем не менее, они широко использовались для коммуникации и патрулирования местности.
description: The article is devoted to the Roman military presence on the territory of Britain on the example of Hadrian's Wall. Such issues as the system of forts, the ratio of cavalry and infantry in the garrison, which alas and cohorts were stationed in this area are considered. A large role in the defense of Hadrian's Wall was played by mixed cohorts, which included both cavalry and infantry. The local landscape did not facilitate the actions of large mounted detachments, however, they were widely used for communication and patrolling the area.

description: Background: High complexity is considered a hallmark of living systems. Here we investigate the complexity of temporal gene expression patterns using the concept of Permutation Entropy (PE) first introduced in dynamical systems theory. The analysis of gene expression data has so far focused primarily on the identification of differentially expressed genes, or on the elucidation of pathway and regulatory relationships. We aim to study gene expression time series data from the viewpoint of complexity.Results: Applying the PE complexity metric to abiotic stress response time series data in Arabidopsis thaliana, genes involved in stress response and signaling were found to be associated with the highest complexity not only under stress, but surprisingly, also under reference, non-stress conditions. Genes with house-keeping functions exhibited lower PE complexity. Compared to reference conditions, the PE of temporal gene expression patterns generally increased upon stress exposure. High-complexity genes were found to have longer upstream intergenic regions and more cis-regulatory motifs in their promoter regions indicative of a more complex regulatory apparatus needed to orchestrate their expression, and to be associated with higher correlation network connectivity degree. Arabidopsis genes also present in other plant species were observed to exhibit decreased PE complexity compared to Arabidopsis specific genes.Conclusions: We show that Permutation Entropy is a simple yet robust and powerful approach to identify temporal gene expression profiles of varying complexity that is equally applicable to other types of molecular profile data.

description: Merodon armipes Rondani, 1843
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1843b: 43.
TYPE LOCALITY: “ in colle ditionis Parmensis prope torrentem Terminam [Parmese hill near the Termina stream (Italy)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (missing right fore-leg and terminalia) (MZUF: Box 2): Merodon Fb. Latr. / armipes Rnd., ♂, Parma / 61 / lectotype of Merodon armipes R., designated W. Hurkmans 1987.
PARALECTOTYPE NOT EXAMINED: 3 ♂♂ (one missing right fore-leg) (MZUF: Box 2): Merodon Fb. Latr. / armipes Rnd., ♂, Parma / 61 / ♂ / Merodon armipes Rnd., det. Hurkmans, 1987; 1 ♂ (missing left fore-, both mid-, and left hind-legs) (MZUF: Box A): Merodon armipes Rnd., 24, Parma / 393 24; 1 ♂ (MSNC: Box DIPTERA Ex collezione Rondani - I): Merodon armipes R. Parma / Coll. Rondani, scatola n° 3, posiz. C-13 / Museo di Storia Naturale Università di Pisa, Calci (PI) ex collezione Rondani; 1 ♂ (MSNPV: Box 99): Merodon armipes Rnd., Parma.
CURRENT STATUS: valid species (Peck 1988: 167, Belcari et al. 1995a: 16).
REMARKS: Rondani (1843b: 43) described Merodon armipes from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “ semel tantum marem legi [I collected the male only]”. He later (Rondani 1845f: 262) reported two specimens: “ ho raccolto solamente due maschi [I collected only two males]”. Willem Hurkmans examined the MZUF type material, adding the label “ lectotype ” under one male, without publishing any lectotype designation. Vujić et al. (2012) examined the specimen labeled as lectotype by Hurkmans and designated it as lectotype, but did not mention an additional six males: four in the MZUF, one in the MSNC and one in the MSNPV. We are unable to single out the male paralectotype upon which Rondani based his description. We leave the recognition of this paralectotype to a future specialist. Vujić et al. (2012) considered as paralectotypes two males in the MNHUB, which do not belong to the type series because of their locality (Switzerland and Germany). Three MZUF females numbered “61” are not included in the type series because of their sex.

description: Populations of agents often exhibit surprising collective behavior emerging from simple local interactions. The common belief is that the agents must posses a certain level of cognitive abilities for such an emerging collective behavior to occur. However, contrary to this assumption, it is also well known that even noncognitive agents are capable of displaying nontrivial behavior. Here we consider an intermediate case, where the agents borrow a little bit from both extremes. We assume a population of agents performing random-walk in a bounded environment, on a square lattice. The agents can sense their immediate neighborhood, and they will attempt to move into a randomly selected empty site, by avoiding collisions.Also, the agents will temporary stop moving when they are in contact with at least two other agents. We show that surprisingly, such a rudimentary population of agents undergoes a percolation phase transition and self-organizes in a large polymer like structure, as a consequence of an attractive entropic force emerging from their restricted-valence and local spatial arrangement.

description: Euler's sum formula and its multi-variable and weighted generalizations form a large class of the identities of multiple zeta values. In this paper we prove a family of identities involving Bernoulli numbers and apply them to obtain infinitely many weighted sum formulas for double zeta values and triple zeta values where the weight coefficients are given by symmetric polynomials. We give a general conjecture in arbitrary depth at the end of the paper.

description: The International Food Security Assessment (IFSA) model of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Economic Research Service (ERS) was developed to help USDA and its stakeholders evaluate the food security outlook of low- and middle-income countries for up to 10 years. The IFSA model provides an estimate of total food demand and food production, both elements in measuring food security. This research evaluates the production side of the IFSA model to determine the best performing prediction model specification. Accurate estimations and projections of the domestic production that accounts for geographic and crop level differences will help increase the accuracy of the projections and ultimately enhance the supply and demand dynamics in the IFSA assessment.

description: Rapid temporal variability has been widely observed in the light curves of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). One possible mechanism for such variability is related to the relativistic eddies in the jet. In this paper, we include the contribution of the inter-eddy medium together with the eddies to the gamma-ray emission. We show that the gamma-ray emission can either lead or lag behind the observed synchrotron emission, where the latter originates in the inter-eddy medium and provides most of seed photons for producing gamma-ray emission through the inverse-Compton scattering. As a consequence, we argue that the lead/lag found in non-stationary short-lived light curves may not reveal the intrinsic lead/lag of different emission components. In addition, our results may explain the lead of gamma-ray emission with respect to optical emission observed in GRB 080319B.

description: Programming languages with countable nondeterministic choice are computationally interesting since countable nondeterminism arises when modeling fairness for concurrent systems. Because countable choice introduces non-continuous behaviour, it is well-known that developing semantic models for programming languages with countable nondeterminism is challenging. We present a step-indexed logical relations model of a higher-order functional programming language with countable nondeterminism and demonstrate how it can be used to reason about contextually defined may- and must-equivalence. In earlier step-indexed models, the indices have been drawn from ω. Here the step-indexed relations for must-equivalence are indexed over an ordinal greater than ω.

description: We present a compact formula for the complete tree-level S-matrix of pure Yang-Mills and gravity theories in arbitrary spacetime dimension. The new formula for the scattering of n particles is given by an integral over the position of n points on a sphere restricted to satisfy a dimension-independent set of equations. The integrand is constructed using the reduced Pfaffian of a 2n by 2n matrix that depends on momenta and polarization vectors. In its simplest form, the gravity integrand is a reduced determinant which is the square of the Pfaffian in the Yang-Mills integrand. Gauge invariance is completely manifest as it follows from a simple property of the Pfaffian.

The petitions for the recusal of chair Lina Khan: a matter of due process or delaying the process?

description: On the 30th of June 2021, Amazon filed a request to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to seek newly appointed Chair Lina Khan’s recusal from “any antitrust investigation, adjudication, litigation, or other proceedings in which Amazon is a subject”, arguing due process would not be respected because of her potential partiality. Two weeks later, on the 14th of July, a petition following the same objective was filed, this time, by Facebook, with notable similarities. Following their path, in November 2021, Google targeted the other agency in charge of public enforcement, the Department of Justice (DoJ). The tech giant pressed the authority, in a letter, to recuse the new Assistant Attorney General, Jonathan Kanter, for his past work in private practice representing competitors such as Microsoft or Yelp. At a turning point in the enforcement of antitrust law towards Big Tech players, especially regarding the offense of monopolization and merger enforcement, one can wonder if these petitions for recusal really are a simple matter of due process or if bigger stakes are at play, such as the future of public enforcement of American antitrust law.

A bad dream come true: ICT patent prosecution against EU competition law
Creators: name: Galli, Niccolò
Publisher: name: Market and Competition Law Review
Year: 2022

description: The article scrutinises patent prosecution practices in the ICT sector under Arts. 101 and 102 TFEU in light of the CJEU case law and economic arguments pointing to their anti- and pro-competitive effects. Although the data on European ICT patent prosecution reveals a ‘bad dream’ of entry barrier features prone to anti-competitive practices, the article acknowledges the limited scope under the existing jurisprudence for EU competition law intervention to awaken from it. Indeed, the data on the European ICT patent landscape hint at substantial patent prosecution cost and timing, rising patent applications and granted patents owned by a few large ICT undertakings, and rare administrative oppositions, especially between symmetric firms. Despite the competition policy appeal of collusive cross-licensing agreements coordinating the parties’ ICT patent prosecution strategies to the detriment of technology competition, their investigation under Art. 101 TFEU is yet to be seen. However, the offered evidence suggesting restrictions of competition in ICT technology markets coupled with the anti-competitive findings of the recent Consumer IoT Sector inquiry might justify a follow-on inquiry limited to ICT cross-licensing agreements. Regarding Art. 102 TFEU, the article concludes that the AstraZeneca jurisprudence on abusive patent prosecution is of a limited application for anti-competitive ICT patenting practices that essentially concern blocking patents. Absent fundamental patent law reforms, EU competition law remains not only a second-best solution to address the depicted bad dream of the ICT patent landscape, but also a very remote one.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Chrysops dispar (Fabricius, 1798) (Stone 1975: 45).
REMARKS: Rondani (1875c: 460) described Chrysops impar from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths, from material collected by G. Doria and O. Beccari. Rondani did not select a holotype in his original description. Guiglia (1957: 194) reported “ ♀ Tipo e due cotipi [Type and two cotypes]” in the MSNG. Raineri & Rey (1996: 55) also considered the MSNG specimens as “Typus ♀, 2 Cotypi [Type ♀, 2 Cotypes]”. Guiglia (1957: 194) and Raineri & Rey (1996: 55) did not unambiguously indicate the type, therefore they did not designate a lectotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.5). Guiglia and Raineri & Rey incorrectly reported the two cotypes in the MSNG instead of in the MZUF. The MSNG female and the two MZUF females are all syntypes.

description: We study the free energy landscape of a minimal model for relaxor ferroelectrics. Using a variational method which includes leading correlations beyond the mean-field approximation as well as disorder averaging at the level of a simple replica theory, we find metastable paraelectric states with a stability region that extends to zero temperature. The free energy of such states exhibits an essential singularity for weak compositional disorder pointing to their necessary occurrence. Ferroelectric states appear as local minima in the free energy at high temperatures and become stable below a coexistence temperature $T_c$. We calculate the phase diagram in the electric field-temperature plane and find a coexistence line of the polar and non-polar phases which ends at a critical point. First-order phase transitions are induced for fields sufficiently large to cross the region of stability of the metastable paraelectric phase. These polar and non-polar states have distinct structure factors from those of conventional ferroelectrics. We use this theoretical framework to compare and to gain physical understanding of various experimental results in typical relaxors.

(Meta)verse as the next escaper from competition public enforcement
Creators: name: Megale, Luca
Publisher: name: Market and Competition Law Review

description: While authorities discovered the need to regulate competition in the digital world, one of the Big Techs – Facebook – changed its name in Meta. The latter emphasizes the shift from being a social network company to becoming a metaverse one. The paper argues that a new digital world is laying its foundations, and competition public enforcement risks being caught off-guard again. Such a new world is based on the concepts of metaverse, web3 and the tools of algorithms and blockchain. The common element is decentralization; however, in the hand of a few main characters governing the sector as it is today – not the users. Therefore, public competition enforcement will have today’s criticalities, yet heavily amplified by the characteristics of the metaverse. The paper addresses the potential impact of the metaverse on competition; starting from the essential facility doctrine, the application of its elements to the metaverse can only be hypothesized. However, it is noted that, in a worst-case scenario, the requirements would be met with some amendments (given by the nature of the new market). Moving on, it is asserted as tacit collusion might be a crucial issue due to algorithms and blockchain. Metaverse might also be characterized by repeating concerns. Regulators’ lack of attention on M&A review had a crucial role in the development of the present digital markets. The latter was the consequence of regulators not understanding the potential future outcome of acquisitions and impact on markets. This might already be happening again. Lastly, the metaverse could not only increase the data gathered by undertakings, but also their quality, thanks to the use of new technologies. Thus, amplifyingthe ability of predicting consumers’ behaviour and undertakings’ market power (to be added to the already present concerns on data exploitation). To front this scenario, competition public enforcement, as it is today, might not be enough. The paper claims that a regulatory intervention is needed to avoid history repeating itself: while regulators have no clear idea on what and how to regulate the digital platforms, Big Techs continue their power climbing. In a still unknown metaverse infrastructure, what is needed is a future-oriented analysis of the problem drivers and scenarios. Therefore, the proposed approach varies based on the specific antitrust concern. The common word is regulatory foresight; however, it must also be considered that a lack of uniformity between Countries – even EU Member States –, and the current hard adaptability of antitrust norms and doctrines (e.g., essential facilities), risk to hamper a needed regulatory adaptability.

Harmonising dawn raids in a global village: the ECN+ directive and negotiating legal certainty within fragmented european administrative procedure
Creators: name: Autio, Riina
Publisher: name: Market and Competition Law Review
Year: 2022

description: Administrative procedure remains largely unharmonized in the European Union. One area where the divergent national procedures are particularly visible are unannounced inspections or ‘dawn raids’. They are carried out by national competition authorities to enforce both national competition laws and the corresponding EU provisions, notably Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Provisions that are similar or even identical are thus being enforced under different procedural rules within the Union. Minimum harmonisation of competition law enforcement is underway with Directive 2019/1 or “ECN+”, as it became known in the early stages of the work towards the actual Directive. This article looks at different views to harmonisation and uneven enforcement and public statements from six EU Member States about the national amendments to implement Directive 2019/1. Dawn raids are always a balancing act between the public interest in uncovering competition infringements and fundamental and human rights, such as the right of defence. This article argues fragmentation poses a threat to legal certainty and does so in an area that routinely overlaps with fundamental and human rights. What is more, the ECN+ Directive may not level the playing field as intended. The current harmonisation efforts may, instead, carry a risk of merely shifting the existing imbalance to other areas of enforcement.

description: The existence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in globular clusters (GCs) remains a crucial problem. Searching IMBHs in GCs reveals a discrepancy between radio observations and dynamical modelings: the upper mass limits constrained by radio observations are systematically lower than that of dynamical modelings. One possibility for such a discrepancy is that, as we suggest in this work, there exist outflows in accretion flows. Our results indicate that, for most sources, current radio observations cannot rule out the possibility that IMBHs may exist in GCs. In addition, we adopt an \dot{M}-L_{R} relation to revisit this issue, which confirms the results obtained by the Fundamental Plane relation.

de Bruijn-type identity for systems with flux

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that an information-theoretic relation called the de Bruijn-type identity can be reformulated in a physical context with probability currents. The time derivatives of relative entropies under the continuity equation are presented, which shows that the conservation of distance between a pair of distributions is generally not guaranteed. As an important implication of these results, we discuss and present a possible conceptual framework for the classical no-cloning (deleting) theorem and qualitatively assert that we can attribute the perfect performance of the operating machine to the openness (non-vanishing flow at boundaries between the processing machine and the system) during the process.

A Fortnite and odd days: the console wars

description: The videogames industry is called to play a key role in the development and design of the future digital arena, ranging from the up-and-coming metaverse to the digital platforms’ future innovation. At this point, projections show that video gaming can surpass $220 billion in revenue in 2024, whereas the entertainment industry’s revenues are rapidly decreasing. Still, the video gaming sector has gone largely unnoticed by competition law authorities. A few skewed and inconsistent decisions have tried to set out the relevant product and geographical markets. However, the subsequent developments over the years do not show a linear sequence of events. Instead, several breakthroughs such as introducing cloud gaming and subscription video gaming services have contributed to blurring the lines of market delineation altogether. The European Commission’s approach through merger control has been instrumental to provide some guidance on the subject, although its Vivendi/Activision, Activision Blizzard/King and Microsoft/ZeniMax have not paid attention to the special characteristics of video gaming, namely differences between user experience when playing different game genres and when playing across platforms. Given the foregoing, we will first address the videogame market’s economic conditions and particularities overlooked by competition authorities when performing their analysis, namely in the preliminary stage of market definition. Based on these findings, the article builds on the calls for intervention with regard to the Microsoft/Activision Blizzard4 operation and instrumentalises it as a yardstick to measure the wider impact of acquisitions within the video gaming market.

Testing protoplanetary disc dispersal with radio emission

description: We consider continuum free-free radio emission from the upper atmosphere of protoplanetary discs as a probe of the ionized luminosity impinging upon the disc. Making use of previously computed hydrodynamic models of disc photoevaporation within the framework of EUV and X-ray irradiation, we use radiative transfer post-processing techniques to predict the expected free-free emission from protoplanetary discs. In general, the free-free luminosity scales roughly linearly with ionizing luminosity in both EUV and X-ray driven scenarios, where the emission dominates over the dust tail of the disc and is partial optically thin at cm wavelengths. We perform a test observation of GM Aur at 14-18 Ghz and detect an excess of radio emission above the dust tail to a very high level of confidence. The observed flux density and spectral index are consistent with free-free emission from the ionized disc in either the EUV or X-ray driven scenario. Finally, we suggest a possible route to testing the EUV and X-ray driven dispersal model of protoplanetary discs, by combining observed free-free flux densities with measurements of mass-accretion rates. On the point of disc dispersal one would expect to find a M_dot^2 scaling with free-free flux in the case of EUV driven disc dispersal or a M_dot scaling in the case of X-ray driven disc dispersal.
