description: O artigo faz a avaliação da fase inicial de implantação de projetos demonstrativos para recuperação com espécies nativas de áreas degradadas em mata ciliar em três microbacias no Estado de São Paulo. O arcabouço teórico considerou o projeto como um modelo de conservação da biodiversidade, entendendo que deveria ter havido um enfoque transdisciplinar das instituições parceiras. A pesquisa utilizou-se das técnicas de delphi para levantar os depoimentos dos envolvidos no acompanhamento e na execução das áreas experimentais. Em parte a transdisciplinaridade foi conseguida e houve sucesso no plantio das áreas pilotos em três microbacias estudadas. Mas, a avaliação geral foi de que as equipes locais não tiveram o apoio necessário dos componentes de educação ambiental e treinamento e de apoio à restauração sustentável de florestas ciliares. A área plantada de mata ciliar até setembro de 2007 foi de 28,78 ha com espécies nativas, mas os produtores demandam sistemas alternativos em que possam auferir alguma renda.---------------------------------------------The article makes the evaluation of the initial phase of implementation of projects demonstrating for the recovery of degraded areas in riparian forest with native species into three microbasins in the state of Sao Paulo. The theoretical considered the project as a model for biodiversity conservation, and that should have been a transdisciplinary approach of partner institutions. The research used up the techniques of delphi to lift the testimony of those involved in the monitoring and implementation of the experimental areas. In part the transdisciplinarity was achieved and there was success in planting areas in three pilots microbasins studied. But the overall assessment was that the local teams have not had the necessary support of the components of environmental education and training and support for the restoration of sustainable forest gallery. The area planted to riparian forest was 28.78 ha with native species, but the producers ask alternative system in which some income earns.

description: The 2020 Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Report highlights the importance of sputum purulence in the decision to prescribe antibiotics for acute exacerbations. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the strength of literature supporting inclusion of sputum purulence in criteria utilized to evaluate if antimicrobials are indicated in acute COPD exacerbation. A total of 6 observational studies met inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis. Sputum purulence was defined by visual assessment of color, either subjectively by providers and/or patients or by a colored chart, where green or yellow sputum was considered purulent. Four of the studies were primarily conducted in hospitalized patients, one in the emergency department, and one in the primary care setting. Five studies relied upon expectorated sputum and one used bronchoscopy to obtain sputum samples for bacterial cultures. Compared with mucoid sputum, purulent sputum had a significantly higher probability of positive bacterial culture results (RR = 2.14, 95%CI [1.25, 3.67], p = 0.006, moderate quality). For sensitivity analysis, after removal of studies losing 2 or more points from the New Castle-Ottawa scale, the effect value remained statistically significant. This systematic review and meta-analysis showed a moderate level of evidence that purulent sputum during COPD exacerbation, as defined by yellow or green color, is associated with a significantly higher probability of potentially pathogenic bacteria, supporting GOLD report and NICE recommendations.

description: Industries are using a considerable share of their final energy use on process heating which is usually based on the use of fossil fuels. Heat up to 130°C can be conveniently and efficiently electrified using high-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) but the industry often requires higher temperatures.  Unfortunately, there are currently only a limited number of technologies available providing higher temperatures. Even more, HTHPs delivering heat up to 200 °C have not yet been proven and are often still at the conceptual stage. This work involves the development and testing of a laboratory scale HTHP for delivery of 200°C heat, using scalable compressor technology and a future proof refrigerant. Based on previous numerical research, the zeotropic mixture of water and ammonia has been selected as the working fluid. This mixture shows high COPs when the secondary fluids have temperature glide, but has the disadvantage of high compression ratios and compressor discharge temperatures. A review of available compressor technologies led to the selection of an oil-free, refrigerant-injected, screw compressor. To avoid oil contamination from the bearing lubrication, the compressor works oil-free by using refrigerant-lubricated hydrodynamic bearings. In addition, to limit the compressor discharge temperature, the compression process starts from the two-phase region and additional two-phase refrigerant can be injected during compression. Suitable heat exchangers and expansion valves are also designed and selected. According to the numerical model, COPs of around 3 are expected, given an average temperature rise of 75 K between heat source and heat sink.

description: The polarization- and angle- resolved optical response of the anapole mode in silicon nano-disks array have been experimentally and theoretically investigated. The good agreement betweenmeasured data and simulations yields to a consistent description of the anapole mode behaviorthat exhibits different features for TE or TM polarization excitation. Scattering matrix calculationallows us to disentangle scattered and diffused light contributions and to provide a quantitativeestimation of the absorbance enhancement associated to 2D excitation of the anapole mode. Weperformed the multipolar decomposition of the far-field scattered radiation for both TE and TMpolarizations and unambiguously identified the anapole resonant condition in excellent agreementwith the experimental results over a large range of incident angles. Our findings demonstrate thecontrolled excitation of electromagnetic anapole modes in engineered arrays of silicon nano-disksfor the development of optical nanostructures with enhanced light-matter interaction

description: The task of calculating operator dimensions in the planar limit of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory can be vastly simplified by mapping the dilatation generator to the Hamiltonian of an integrable spin chain. The Bethe ansatz has been used in this context to compute the spectra of spin chains associated with various sectors of the theory which are known to decouple in the planar (large-N_c) limit. These techniques are powerful at leading order in perturbation theory but become increasingly complicated beyond one loop in the 't Hooft parameter lambda=g_YM^2 N_c, where spin chains typically acquire long-range (non-nearest-neighbor) interactions. In certain sectors of the theory, moreover, higher-loop Bethe ansaetze do not even exist. We develop a virial expansion of the spin chain Hamiltonian as an alternative to the Bethe ansatz methodology, a method which simplifies the computation of dimensions of multi-impurity operators at higher loops in lambda. We use these methods to extract previously reported numerical gauge theory predictions near the BMN limit for comparison with corresponding results on the string theory side of the AdS/CFT correspondence. For completeness, we compare our virial results with predictions that can be derived from current Bethe ansatz technology.

description: O Brasil possui um mercado interno potencial para o consumo de alimentos, principalmente para as proteínas animais. A carne, o leite e ovo já fazem parte da alimentação dos brasileiros e sua demanda está ligada a vários fatores, como preços, qualidade, aspectos nutricionais, preferência, gosto e, principalmente, a restrição orçamentária, ou seja, a renda. Junta-se a isso a proteína pescado, que mesmo sendo um alimento muito saudável, não tem um hábito de consumo consolidado no país. A fim de determinar o quanto a renda impacta o consumo de proteína animal, buscou-se neste trabalho estimar as elasticidades-renda da demanda de proteína, no Brasil e suas regiões. As elasticidades foram obtidas por meio do ajustamento de uma poligonal com três segmentos. Os coeficientes de elasticidade-renda do dispêndio, calculados para as carnes de forma geral, foram sempre menores do que 1, sendo a carne bovina, responsável pelos valores extremos: a de primeira, próxima de 1 e a de segunda, próxima de zero. Para a carne suína, o coeficiente só foi menor que a bovina de primeira, e o coeficiente de pescado somente superior ao da bovina de segunda. Para o leite, ovos e frango, os coeficientes foram intermediários.---------------------------------------------Brazil has a potential domestic market for food consumption, mainly for the animal proteins. The meat, the milk and egg are already a part of the Brazilian eating habit and its demand is connected to several factors, like prices, quality, nutritional aspects, preferences, taste and, mainly, the budget restriction, that is, the income. For the protein fish, that same being a very healthy food, it doesn't have a consumption habit consolidated at the country. To determine how much the income impacts on the animal protein consumption, this work estimated the income-elasticities of protein demand in Brazil and their areas. The elasticities were obtained by fitting a three-segment polygonal curve. The income elasticities coefficients, calculated for meat, were always below 1, being beef responsible to extreme values: the beef of first quality is near 1 and the beef of second quality, near zero.For the pork meat, the coefficient was only smaller than the beef of first quality, and the fish coefficient only superior to the of the beef of second quality. For the milk, eggs and chicken, the coefficients were intermediate.

description: As part of a radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures that we undertook with the 2dF spectrograph on the AAT, we present the radial velocities of more than 1500 Red Giant Branch and Red Clump stars towards the centre of the Canis Major dwarf galaxy. With a mean velocity of 72\pm7 km/s at a Heliocentric distance of 5.5 kpc and 114\pm2 km/s at 8.5 kpc, these stars present a peculiar distance -- radial velocity relation that is unlike that expected from thin or thick disc stars. Moreover, they belong to a kinematically cold population with an intrinsic dispersion that may be as low as 11_{-1}^{+3} km/s. The radial velocity distribution is used to select Canis Major stars in the UCAC2.0 proper motion catalogue and derive proper motions in Galactic coordinates of (μ_l,μ_b)= (-3.6\pm0.8 mas/yr, 1.5\pm0.4 mas/yr) for the dwarf galaxy, which after correcting for the reflex solar motion along this line-of-sight gives (μ_l',μ_b')= (-6.8\pm0.8 mas/yr, 0.8\pm0.4 mas/yr)$, corresponding to a prograde orbit with a tangential velocity of \sim235 km/s at the average distance of \sim7.2 kpc. All these kinematic constraints can be reproduced in simulations of the accretion of a dwarf onto the Galactic disc. Such a process could also be responsible for the Monoceros Ring that has recently been shown to encompass the Galactic disc. However, without constraints on the kinematics of the tidal arms emerging from the Canis Major dwarf, it is not yet possible to definitively prove a link between the two structures.

description: In this paper, we introduce Point2Mesh, a technique for reconstructing a surface mesh from an input point cloud. Instead of explicitly specifying a prior that encodes the expected shape properties, the prior is defined automatically using the input point cloud, which we refer to as a self-prior. The self-prior encapsulates reoccurring geometric repetitions from a single shape within the weights of a deep neural network. We optimize the network weights to deform an initial mesh to shrink-wrap a single input point cloud. This explicitly considers the entire reconstructed shape, since shared local kernels are calculated to fit the overall object. The convolutional kernels are optimized globally across the entire shape, which inherently encourages local-scale geometric self-similarity across the shape surface. We show that shrink-wrapping a point cloud with a self-prior converges to a desirable solution; compared to a prescribed smoothness prior, which often becomes trapped in undesirable local minima. While the performance of traditional reconstruction approaches degrades in non-ideal conditions that are often present in real world scanning, i.e., unoriented normals, noise and missing (low density) parts, Point2Mesh is robust to non-ideal conditions. We demonstrate the performance of Point2Mesh on a large variety of shapes with varying complexity.

This is the highest transition temperature among perovskite Co oxides. The saturation magnetization for $x=$ 0.225 is 0.25 $μ_B$/Co at 10 K, which implies that the observed ferromagnetism is a bulk effect. We attribute this ferromagnetism to a peculiar Sr/Y ordering.

Within this new field of population dynamics a model considering sexual populations with ageing is presented. The agents are situated on a lattice and each one speaks one of two languages or both. The stability and quantitative structure of an interface between two regions, initially speaking different languages, is studied. We find that individuals speaking both languages do not prefer any of these regions and have a different age structure than individuals speaking only one language.

Quantitative imaging biomarkers in the assessment of patients with pulmonary hypertension: the role of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Creators: name: Sathianandan, Sobitha
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in pulmonary hypertension (PH) is expanding and already plays an important role in its diagnosis, classification, and prognostication. With recent advances in CT and MRI, there is growing interest in quantitative, imaging-based biomarkers that can be used in the evaluation of pulmonary hypertension (PH). This thesis seeks to examine the role of existing and novel CT and MRI derived imaging biomarkers in the assessment of disease severity, treatment response and prognosis in patients with PH. CT is readily available in clinical practice and allows assessment of the pulmonary vasculature alongside the parenchyma, cardiac and mediastinal structures. The role of CT in two groups of PH patients was retrospectively analysed. In Chapter 3, CT derived measurements in a cohort of patients with severe group 3 PH (due to lung diseases and/or hypoxia) treated with sildenafil did not relate to disease severity or treatment response. In Chapter 4, CT based measurements of pulmonary artery morphology and calcification in a cohort of patients with Eisenmenger Syndrome appeared to reflect the chronicity of PH in these patients as opposed to its severity. The pathophysiology of PH primarily involves vascular remodelling of the smaller pulmonary arterioles with progressive resistance to blood flow and subsequent increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, mean pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricular afterload(1). Imaging of these more distal pulmonary arterioles may therefore provide a more sensitive measure of PH severity and treatment response as they are also the site of action of available treatment options. In Chapter 5, a pilot study of a novel MRI technique (Oxygen-Enhanced MRI) in a cohort of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension showed it is feasible, can demonstrate abnormalities related to gas exchange in PH and detect changes following treatment.

description: It is found that in magnetized electrostatic plasma flows the velocity shear couples ion-acoustic waves with ion-cyclotron waves and leads, under favorable conditions, to their efficient reciprocal transformations. It is shown that in a two-dimensional setup this coupling has a remarkable feature: it is governed by equations that are exactly similar to the ones describing coupling of sound waves with internal gravity waves [Rogava & Mahajan: Phys. Rev. E vol.55, 1185 (1997)] in neutral fluid flows. Using another noteworthy quantum mechanical analogy we calculate transformation coefficients and give fully analytic, quantitative description of the coupling efficiency for flows with low shearing rates.

description: Use of various dyes in order to color the products is a common practice in composite knit industry. The presence of these dyes in water even at low concentration is highly visible and undesirable. This study was carried out for the utilization of orange peel as adsorbent for the removal of dyes from wastewater and to establish it as a standard wastewater treatment process for composite knit industry. This experiment was performed in the laboratory scale. The materials were obtained and treated for the removal of dyes at different doses. These materials also evaluated for different pH and contact time. This batch adsorption experiment was carried out for finding the effects of adsorbent’s amount, pH and retention time on the removal of dyes from the wastewater. The experiment showed that the removal percentage was 60-70% at pH=7 with a retention time of 120 minutes. The optimum dose amount of adsorbent was 1.5g/25mL. The equilibrium adsorption behavior was examined by applying Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of orange peel is low but comparable to the other available adsorbents.

description: Theories of evolving quintessence are constructed that generically lead to deviations from the w = -1 prediction of non-evolving dark energy. The small mass scale that governs evolution, m_ϕ\approx 10^{-33} eV, is radiatively stable, and the ``Why Now?'' problem is solved. These results rest crucially on seesaw cosmology: in broad outline, fundamental physics and cosmology can be understood from only two mass scales, the weak scale, v, and the Planck scale, M. Requiring a scale of dark energy ρ_{DE}^{1/4} governed by v^2/M, and a radiatively stable evolution rate m_ϕgiven by v^4/M^3, leads to a distinctive form for the equation of state w(z) that follows from a cosine quintessence potential. An explicit hidden axion model is constructed. Dark energy resides in the potential of the axion field which is generated by a new QCD-like force that gets strong at the scale Λ\approx v^2/M \approx ρ_{DE}^{1/4}. The evolution rate is given by a second seesaw that leads to the axion mass, m_ϕ\approx Λ^2/f, with f \approx M.

Forest fire occurrence outside the historic range of frequency and intensity can result in extensive economic and ecological impacts. The detection of regional patterns of fire occurrence can allow for the identification of areas at greatest risk of significant impact and for the selection of locations for more intensive analysis. In 2010, the South Central and Red Bed Plains of Oklahoma experienced the most fires per 100 km2 of forested area, while ecoregions in Utah, Idaho, and Florida also had high densities of forest fire occurrence. In Alaska, a moderate density of forest fires occurred in the Yukon Flats ecoregion. Geographical hot spots of fire occurrence were detected in eastern Oregon, the Southeastern Coastal Plain, northeastern Oklahoma, and in scattered locations across the West. When looking at the last 10 years of fire occurrence data, ecoregions in southern California and central Idaho had the highest mean number of fires per year relative to forested area.

description: The profitability of production of pejelagarto (Atractosteus tropicus) was evaluated in two types of cultivation, in captivity conditions and in captivity conditions in association with the Mojarra Castarrica and Tilapia at the Aquaculture Production Cooperative Society "El Pejelagarto", located in Sabancuy, municipality of Carmen, Campeche, Mexico. For this purpose, the records of 10 years ago were used to calculate the following indicators of economic evaluation for the first mode of cultivation: Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit-Cost Ratio (B / C), Net Benefit-Investment (K / N) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The results obtained for this period were: NPV = 119,825.00, B / C = 1.08, N / K = 1.88 and IRR = 25.6%. The indicators for cultivation in association were NPV = 629.254, B / C = 1.43, N / K = IRR = 10.15 and 145.0%. Based on the results of the indicators, it is concluded that the project is feasible in its two forms of cultivation, from the economic point of view thus, the breeding, production and marketing of pejelagarto, has a great business opportunity, because of being species with demand, both within and outside of the region, for their rusticity in breeding as well as being considered an exotic dish.
Candidate fossil groups in the CFHTLS: a probabilistic approach

description: Fossil groups (FGs) have been discovered twenty-five years ago, and are now defined as galaxy groups with an X-ray luminosity higher than $10^{42}\ h_{50}^{-2}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and a brightest group galaxy brighter than the other group members by at least 2 magnitudes. However, the scenario of their formation remains controversial. We propose here a probabilistic analysis of FGs, extracted from the large catalogue of candidate groups and clusters detected by Sarron et al. (2018) in the CFHTLS survey, based on photometric redshifts, to investigate their position in the cosmic web and probe their environment. Based on spectroscopic and photometric redshifts, we estimate the probability of galaxies to belong to a galaxy structure, and by imposing the condition that the brightest group galaxy is at least brighter than the others by 2 magnitudes, we compute the probability for a given galaxy structure to be a FG. We analyse the mass distribution of these candidate FGs, and estimate their distance to the filaments and nodes of the cosmic web in which they are embedded. We find that the structures with masses lower than $2.4\times 10^{14}$ M$_\odot$ have the highest probabilities of being fossil groups (PFG). Overall, structures with PFG$\geq$50% are located close to the cosmic web filaments (87% are located at less than 1 Mpc from their nearest filament). They are preferentially four times more distant from their nearest node than from their nearest filament. We confirm that FGs have small masses and are rare. They seem to reside closeby cosmic filaments and do not survive in nodes. Being in a poor environment could therefore be the driver of FG formation, the number of nearby galaxies not being sufficient to compensate for the cannibalism of the central group galaxy.

description: Linear maps of matrices describing evolution of density matrices for a quantum system initially entangled with another are identified and found to be not always completely positive. They can even map a positive matrix to a matrix that is not positive, unless we restrict the domain on which the map acts. Nevertheless, their form is similar to that of completely positive maps. Only some minus signs are inserted in the operator-sum representation. Each map is the difference of two completely positive maps. The maps are first obtained as maps of mean values and then as maps of basis matrices. These forms also prove to be useful. An example for two entangled qubits is worked out in detail. Relation to earlier work is discussed.

Overexpression of NF-E2 related factor 2 via viral-mediated gene transfer in vivo.
Creators: name: Imbeault, Sophie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The transcription factor NF-E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) is responsible for the upregulation of the cellular anti-oxidant defence system. Upon stimulation by free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS), the cytoplasmic-bound Nrf2 translocates to the nucleus and initiates transcription of genes containing anti-oxidant response elements (AREs) within their promoter region. Many ARE-containing genes contribute to the maintenance of redox homeostasis within the cell thus promoting cell survival. To date, limited work has been done looking at Nrf2-mediated neuroprotection in vivo. Here, we use viral-mediated gene delivery via stereotaxic injection into the adult Wistar rat brain in order to overexpress Nrf2. We exploit the capacity of 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP) to produce ROS in order to provide an oxidative challenge to our animals. Histological analyses show reduced lesion size (lesions are ∼55 % smaller than controls, p<0.05) and increased cell number (125% and 155% for ipsi- and contralateral hemispheres, respectively, p<0.001) in Nrf2 infected animals versus green fluorescent protein infected controls. Using the same viral-gene transfer technique, we also show a significant accumulation of the Nrf2 target xCT, a cystine/glutamate antiporter, on the apical membrane of ependymal cells (200% mean pixel intensity of the basolateral membrane, p<0.001). This supports the hypothesis xCT is important in maintaining cerebrospinal fluid and extracellular fluid redox state. The inability to properly process free radicals is present in many neuropathological processes (i.e. stroke). Targeting the Nrf2 pathway or its downstream gene targets may help treat and provide prophylaxis for some of these conditions.

description: Pecans (Carya Illinoinensis [Wangenh] K. Koch) are a native food of North America and represent a high economic crop value in the north of Mexico, mainly in the state of Chihuahua, the biggest pecan nut producer in this country. The goal of this study was to evaluate the profitability of pecan orchards in the municipality of Delicias, Chihuahua. Some microeconomic and market information from 2008 were collected from pecan growers and specialists through the technique of Experts' Panel. Standard financial analysis and a Monte Carlo simulation model were used to evaluate the probabilities of risk for net cash income (NCI) and return on capital employed (RCE). The NCI obtained was $277,000 and RC 111.7%, indicating that pecan orchards show high profitability when is produced under medium-technology conditions in the municipality of Delicias, Chihuahua.
