description: Dense and mesoporous 4% mol Yttria-stabilized zirconia thin films were deposited on amorphous silica substrates. The effects of the temperature on the mesostructure were analyzed, by applying different thermal treatments to the samples within the range of SOFC operation conditions. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements rendered evidence of a single mechanism, consistent with grain boundary/surface oxide ion conduction. Our results show that the presence of the highly accessible porosity improves the superficial ionic conductivity, reducing the activation energy of the overall process. Density functional theory calculations on the (110) surface were performed to estimate the associated energy barriers. Our results suggest that ionic transport along the surface of accessible pores connected to the atmosphere could account for the observed reduction in activation energy.

description: Urban alteration of neutral and adaptive evolutionary processes is still underexplored. Using a genome-wide SNP dataset, we investigated (i) urban-induced modifications of population demography, genetic diversity and population structure and (ii) signature of divergent selection between urban and forest populations in the ant species, Temnothorax nylanderi. Our results did not reveal an impact of urbanization on neutral processes since we observed: (i) analogous genetic diversity among paired urban/forest sites and two control populations; (ii) weak population genetic structure explained neither by habitat (urban versus forest) nor by geography; (iii) a remarkably similar demographic history across populations with an ancestral growth followed by a recent decline, regardless of their current habitat or geographical location. The micro-geographical home range of ants may explain their resilience to urbanization. Finally, we detected 19 candidate loci discriminating urban/forest populations and associated with core cellular components, molecular function or biological process. Two of these loci were associated with a gene ontology term that was previously found to belong to a module of co-expressed genes related to caste phenotype. These results call for transcriptomics analyses to identify genes associated with ant social traits and to infer their potential role in urban adaptation.

description: The chlorfluzuron incident is just one of a number of chemical residue incidents that have plagued the Australian beef industry since the late 1980s. The frequency and diversity of residue episodes in Australia have served to illustrate the potential of agricultural and veterinary chemicals to cause considerable disruption to Australia's meat trade, even when the chemicals do not pose a health risk to consumers. For example, the discovery of chlorfluazuron residues in Australian beef in 1994 resulted in an export ban being placed on beef containing chlorofluazuron residues. While it is believed that residues in Australian beef can result in significant losses to the Australian cattle industry, a detailed economic evaluation of the cost of a residue incident has not been undertaken. A major aim of this study is to develop an economic model that can be used to assess the economic impact of any chemical residue incident on any agricultural industry, with an emphasis on producer returns, and to illustrate the general applicability of the model by using it to assess the economic impact of the chlorfluazuron incident on returns to australian beef cattle producers. This is done within a multiple-product, multiple-market framework, where the presence of chlorfluazuron residues in cattle is modelled as a shift in supply from one market segment to another.

description: A new subset of furan-pyrazole piperidine derivatives was used for QSAR model development. These compounds exhibit good Akt1 inhibitory activity; moreover, antiproliferative activities in vitro against OVCAR-8 (Human ovarian carcinoma cells) and HCT116 (human colon cancer cells), were confirmed for them. Based on the relevant three-dimensional (3D) and 2D autocorrelation descriptors, selected by genetic algorithm (GA), multiple linear regression (MLR) was established on half maximal-inhibitory concentration (IC50), in Akt1 and cancer cell lines independently. Robustness, stability, and predictive ability of the models were evaluated using external and internal validation (r2: 0.742–0.832, Q2LOO: 0.684–0.796, RMSE: 0.247–0.299, F: 32.283–57.578, and r2y-random: 0.049–0.080). Furthermore, in the new strategy, each of the evaluated models was generalized to two other subfamilies of piperidines to simultaneously compare the activities and structural similarity of these three subsets. Probably, structural similarity can be more considered as a criterion of similarity in the mechanism of action. Also, external verification of suggested predictive models was performed by another subset. Finally, by focusing on M64 as the most potent in vivo antitumor compound, 15 new derivatives were designed and six potent candidates were proposed for further investigation.

description: The international competativeness of an industry is determined by its ability to sell goods and services of higher quality and/or at lower cost than its cometitors. Therefore, issues relating to international competitiveness can be conceptualised through their impact on sustained industry profitability. Using this framework, an index is then applied to the tourism industry using a case study where the industry's international competativeness is laregly dependent on natural environment related attributes and associated regulations. Complying with regulations can reduce competitiveness because of increases in the costs faced by the industry relative to competitors unaffected by regulations. However, it is also shown that compliance with regulations can also enhance the quality of natural environment related attributes-thus increasing industry revenue. Hence the impact of environmental regulations on international competitiveness depends on the outcome of these two opposing forces on industry profitability.

description: Cyanoarbor aff. himalayensis M.Watanabe & Komárek in Branco et al. (2006: 373) (Figs. 11D–11E).
Polarized, elongated and lobed colonies, 79.8–157.6 µm diam. Sheath firm, hyaline to brown, conspicuous, nonlamellate, smooth. Cells spherical to slightly elongated, 2.3–3.2 µm diam., arranged in rows. Cell content homogenous, blue-green.
 Habitat: —Dry concrete wall.
 Notes: —The genus Cyanoarbor Wang (1989: 129) was rediscovered and revised by Branco et al. (2006), 17 years after its original description. In this paper, the authors also published the species Cyanoarbor himalayensis, which resembles the Atlantic Rainforest population by the similar color of the colonies and cell dimensions. However, C. himalayensis was described from mountains in Nepal, growing on wet rocks, and only rarely has cells organized in rows (Branco et al. 2006). Our population was found on a dry wall surrounded by a preserved Atlantic Rainforest area, with cells always organized in a linear fashion.

description: A new technique for estimating market power in several markets simultaneously is developed and applied to the Australian retail beef, lamb, and pork markets. The hypotheses that market power is zero and that market power is the same for each meat cannot be rejected. Nor is there evidence that market power increased over the period of analysis. Little bias is created by examining markets in isolation, rather than within a system, when markets are competative, but that bias can be large when market power exists in some markets in the system.

description: We consider in details the effects of the 13-mixing (sin^2 theta_{13}) and of the type of mass hierarchy/ordering (sign[ Delta m^2_{13}]) on neutrino signals from the gravitational collapses of stars. The observables (characteristics of the energy spectra of nu_e and antinu_e events) sensitive to sin^2 theta_{13} and sign[Delta m^2_{13}] have been calculated. They include the ratio of average energies of the spectra, r_E = /, the ratio of widths of the energy distributions, r_Gamma, the ratios of total numbers of nu_e and antinu_e events at low energies, S, and in the high energy tails, R_{tail}. We construct and analyze scatter plots which show the predictions for the observables for different intervals of sin^2 theta_{13} and signs of Delta m^2_{13}, taking into account uncertainties in the original neutrino spectra, the star density profile, etc.. Regions in the space of observables r_E, r_Gamma, S, R_{tail} exist in which certain mass hierarchy and intervals of sin^2 theta_{13} can be identified or discriminated. We elaborate on the method of the high energy tails in the spectra of events. The conditions are formulated for which sin^2 theta_{13} can be (i) measured, (ii) restricted from below, (iii) restricted from above. We comment on the possibility to determine sin^2 theta_{13} using the time dependence of the signals due to the propagation of the shock wave through the resonance layers of the star. We show that the appearance of the delayed Earth matter effect in one of the channels (nu_e or antinu_e) in combination with the undelayed effect in the other channel will allow to identify the shock wave appeareance and determine the mass hierarchy.

Remarks. Chuang (1973) wrote that “[o]f the house geckos previously recorded by Cantor from Singapore, Hemidactylus frenatus and H. garnoti are still the commonest”. However, we find no mention of H. garnotii from Singapore in any of Cantor’s publications. Furthermore, there are no subsequent records of H. garnotii from Singapore. Lim & Chou (1990) listed H. garnotii in their Singapore herpetofauna checklist based on Chuang (1973), and Baker & Lim (2008) included it as indeterminate in their checklist in regards to Lim & Chou’s (1990) record.

description: The purpose of network representation is to learn a set of latent features by obtaining community information from network structures to provide knowledge for machine learning tasks. Recent research has driven significant progress in network representation by employing random walks as the network sampling strategy. Nevertheless, existing approaches rely on domain-specifically rich community structures and fail in the network that lack topological information in its own domain. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for cross-domain network representation, named as CDNR. By generating the random walks from a structural rich domain and transferring the knowledge on the random walks across domains, it enables a network representation for the structural scarce domain as well. To be specific, CDNR is realized by a cross-domain two-layer node-scale balance algorithm and a cross-domain two-layer knowledge transfer algorithm in the framework of cross-domain two-layer random walk learning. Experiments on various real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of CDNR for universal networks in an unsupervised way.

The Development and Accuracy Assessment of Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Forecasts

description:
Heat is the leading cause of weather-related death in the United States. Wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a heat stress index commonly used among active populations for activity modification, such as outdoor workers and athletes. Despite widespread use globally, WBGT forecasts have been uncommon in the United States until recent years. This research assesses the accuracy of WBGT forecasts developed by NOAA’s Southeast Regional Climate Center (SERCC) and the Carolinas Integrated Sciences and Assessments (CISA). It also details efforts to refine the forecast by accounting for the impact of surface roughness on wind using satellite imagery. Comparisons are made between the SERCC/CISA WBGT forecast and a WBGT forecast modeled after NWS methods. Additionally, both of these forecasts are compared with in situ WBGT measurements (during the summers of 2019–21) and estimates from weather stations to assess forecast accuracy. The SERCC/CISA WBGT forecast was within 0.6°C of observations on average and showed less bias than the forecast based on NWS methods across North Carolina. Importantly, the SERCC/CISA WBGT forecast was more accurate for the most dangerous conditions (WBGT > 31°C), although this resulted in higher false alarms for these extreme conditions compared to the NWS method. In particular, this work improved the forecast for sites more sheltered from wind by better accounting for the influences of land cover on 2-m wind speed. Accurate forecasts are more challenging for sites with complex microclimates. Thus, appropriate caution is necessary when interpreting forecasts and onsite, real-time WBGT measurements remain critical. Significance Statement This research assesses the accuracy of wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) forecasts. WBGT is a heat stress index that accounts for impacts of air temperature, humidity, wind, and radiation. It is widely used in occupational, athletic, and military settings for heat stress assessment, yet WBGT forecasting in the United States is a relatively new development. These forecasts can be used by decision-makers to better plan activities. We found that WBGT forecasts by NOAA’s Southeast Regional Climate Center and Carolinas Integrated Sciences and Assessments were within 0.6°C of observations overall in North Carolina and less biased than forecasts based on methods used by the U.S. National Weather Service, which had larger, colder biases that present potential safety issues in planning.

description: Reef fish traded alive for table food are high value-to-volume products, with demand centred in Hong Kong and southern mainland China. Import demand functions for live reef food fish are estimated for Hong Kong, in aggregate and for individual fish species. Cross-price, income and population elasticities, and the impact of SARS and Chinese New Year on demand, are estimated. Results show that price has a smaller influence on import demand than expected. The most influential factor is Chinese New Year. The price of low and medium-value species exhibited a negative impact, whereas the price of very high-value species exhibited a positive impact, on demand. This suggests that high-value live reef species may be Veblen goods, where consumption increases as a direct function of its price, in this case due to associated prestige and status.

description: The paper aims to capture post-accession effects of Romania’s integration in the common market upon the external performances of the agricultural products; the analysis of intra-Community agri-food trade, by commodity groups, highlighted the existing opportunities of the products with expressed export potential and the areas affected by the net imports. The calculation of the relative unit value indices provided the bases for assessment of the quality of Romanian agricultural traded products, resulting empiric evidences upon the level of integration of the agricultural trade flows and post-accession evolution, i.e. deterioration or improvement, of their terms of trade.

We consider the VMD mechanism, chiral loops, intermediate a0-meson and rho−omega mixing. We find the values of the decay width coming from the different amplitudes and compare the results with other studies. We observe that a0-meson intermediate state is very important in the case of the rho pi0etagamma decay and small in the other case for which VMD contribution is dominant.

In order to do this, we prove an ascent theorem for local Gorenstein duality along morphisms of $k$-algebras. Our main examples are of the form $R = C^*(X;k)$, the ring spectrum of cochains on a space $X$ for a field $k$. In particular, we establish local Gorenstein duality in characteristic $p$ for $p$-compact groups and $p$-local finite groups as well as for $k = \Q$ and $X$ a simply connected space which is Gorenstein in the sense of Dwyer, Greenlees, and Iyengar.

description: The WTO negotiations on agriculture remain deadlocked after four years of discussion, and efforts to find a solution at Cancún failed. Analysis shows that the recent draft Cancún text offers more flexibility than earlier proposals, and such flexibility most likely implies a lower level of ambition overall. However, developing countries are less able to take advantage of this flexibility and their bound tariffs will be reduced to levels at or below applied rates. The reduction in levels of intervention and the expiry of the Peace Clause make it more likely that there will be greater resort in the future to safeguards and countervailing measures. Analysis of the various proposals using the UNCTAD/FAO Agricultural Trade Policy Simulation Model (ATPSM) shows that most of the benefits from liberalization accrue to developed countries, which currently have the highest levels of intervention. The group of developing countries, which include both exporters and importers of agricultural products, gain from liberalization, but those gains are small and unevenly distributed. In fact, net-food importing developing countries tend to lose because of higher world prices. Within developing countries, producers tend to gain from higher world prices at the expense of consumers. Since negotiating positions suggest that governments attach a higher weight to producer than consumer benefits, a possible solution to the impasse lies in switching support in developed countries from border measures to less-trade-distorting measures such as direct income support. Providing compensation to current beneficiaries of European Union support in ACP countries for the erosion of preferences may also assist in the search for a compromise.

description: Classic studies of the probability density of price fluctuations $g$ for stocks and foreign exchanges of several highly developed economies have been interpreted using a {\it power-law} probability density function $P(g) \sim g^{-(α+1)}$ with exponent values $α> 2$, which are outside the Lévy-stable regime $0 < α< 2$. To test the universality of this relationship for less highly developed economies, we analyze daily returns for the period Nov. 1994--June 2002 for the 49 largest stocks of the National Stock Exchange which has the highest volume of trade in India. We find that $P(g)$ decays as an {\it exponential} function $P(g) \sim \exp(-βg)$ with a characteristic decay scales $β= 1.51 \pm 0.05$ for the negative tail and $β= 1.34 \pm 0.04$ for the positive tail, which is significantly different from that observed for developed economies. Thus we conclude that the Indian stock market may belong to a universality class that differs from those of developed countries analyzed previously.

description: An orbiting black hole binary will generate strong gravitational radiation signatures, making these binaries important candidates for detection in gravitational wave observatories. The gravitational radiation is characterized by the orbital parameters, including the frequency and separation at the inner-most stable circular orbit (ISCO). One approach to estimating these parameters relies on a sequence of initial data slices that attempt to capture the physics of the inspiral. Using calculations of the binding energy, several authors have estimated the ISCO parameters using initial data constructed with various algorithms. In this paper we examine this problem using conformally Kerr-Schild initial data. We present convergence results for our initial data solutions, and give data from numerical solutions of the constraint equations representing a range of physical configurations. In a first attempt to understand the physical content of the initial data, we find that the Newtonian binding energy is contained in the superposed Kerr-Schild background before the constraints are solved. We examine some deficiencies with the initial data approach to orbiting binaries, especially touching on the effects of prior motion and spin-orbital coupling of the angular momenta. Making rough estimates of these effects, we find that they are not insignificant compared to the binding energy, leaving some doubt of the utility of using initial data to predict ISCO parameters. In computations of specific initial-data configurations we find spin-specific effects that are consistent with analytical estimates.

Neutrino Mass Matrix Predicted From Symmetric Texture

description: Within the framework of grand unified theories, we make full analysis of symmetric texture to see if such texture can reproduce large neutrino mixings, which have recently been confirmed by the observed solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation experiments. It is found that so-called symmetric texture with anomalous U(1) family symmetry with Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism does not provide a natural explanation of two large mixing angles. On the contrary we should adopt "zero texture" which have been extensively studied by many authors and only this scenario can reproduce two large mixing angles naturally. Under such "zero texture" with minimal symmetric Majorana matrix, all the neutrino masses and mixing angles, 6 quantities, are expressed in terms of up-quark masses, $m_t,m_c,m_u$ with two adjustable parameters. This provides interesting relations among neutrio mixing angles, $\tan^2 2θ_{12} \simeq \frac{144m_c}{m_t} \tan^2 2θ_{23} \cos^2 θ_{23}, \quad \sin^2 θ_{13} \simeq \frac{4m_c}{m_t}\sin^2 θ_{23} \cos^2 θ_{12}$. Thus $|U_{e3}|$ is predicted to lie within the range $0.01-0.06$. Also absolute masses of three neutrinos are predicted almost uniquely. This is quite in contrast to the case where bi-large mixings come from the charged lepton sector with non-symmetric mass matrix, which does not provide the information of neutrino masses.

description: Treatment of human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer has rapidly evolved over the past decades with the addition of trastuzumab, lapatinib, pertuzumab, and trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). These treatments have dramatically impacted the survival of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients. Nonetheless, these agents are associated with high price tags, begging the question, “Are treatments for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and associated metastases cost-effective”? We examine evidence on the cost-effectiveness of treatments for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and associated metastases through a review of systematic reviews on the topic. Additionally, we discuss the implications of our findings and provide recommendations for future directions in the assessment of the cost-effectiveness of targeted directed agents for HER2-positive mBC. Heterogeneous evidence from cost-effectiveness studies on the use of targeted directed agents for HER2-positive mBC across the world caution against cross-country comparisons of the value of such treatments. It also militates in favor of the production and use of cost-effectiveness analyses for local rather than global decision-making, thus ensuring that economic evaluations reflect the needs of local decision-makers and populations for which they are devised.
The presupernova core mass-radius relation of massive stars: understanding its formation and evolution

description: We present a fine grid of solar metallicity models of massive stars (320 in the range 12$\leq$M(\msun)$\leq$27.95), extending from the Main Sequence up to the onset of the collapse, in order to quantitatively determine how their compactness $ξ_{2.5}$ (as defined by O'Connor $\&$ Ott, 2011, ApJ 730, 70) scales with the Carbon Oxygen core mass at the beginning of the core collapse. We find a well defined, not monotonic (but not scattered) trend of the compactness with the Carbon Oxygen core mass that is strictly (and mainly) correlated to the behavior, i.e. birth, growth and disappearance, of the various C convective episodes that follow one another during the advanced evolutionary phases. Though both the mass size of the Carbon Oxygen core and the amount of \nuk{C}{12} left by the He burning play a major role in sculpting the final Mass-Radius relation, it is the abundance of \nuk{C}{12} the ultimate responsible for the final degree of compactness of a star because it controls the ability of the C burning shell to advance in mass before the final collapse.

description: Accurate assays for hepatitis C virus (HCV) quantitation and genotyping are important for the management of HCV infection. In this study, we evaluated the performance of cobas HCV and cobas HCV GT assays (Roche) for HCV quantitation and genotyping on the cobas 4800 System. We compared the performance of the cobas HCV assays with another commercial system (Abbott m2000) using a panel of well-characterized patient samples and proficiency testing samples. The limit-of-detection of the cobas HCV assay in our center was higher (15 IU/mL) than the manufacturer claim (9.2 IU/mL). The assay showed high analytical specificity, accuracy, precision, and linearity. Performance was congruent with the RealTime HCV assay (Abbott). For genotyping, the cobas HCV GT assay only showed moderate agreement with the RealTime HCV Genotype II assay (kappa = 0.550). The cobas assay outperformed the RealTime assay for typing HCV genotypes 1b and 6 (p = 0.033). Our results confirm that the cobas 4800 System is a reliable platform for HCV quantitation and genotyping. The cobas HCV GT assay is a good choice for genotype 1b/6 endemic areas in east Asia, clearly outperforming the RealTime HCV Genotype II assay.

description: quantity and quality issues raise concerns about sustainable use of natural resources in the basin. In particular there are concerns about damages from increasing salinity and reduced flow in the River on built and ecological assets. There is also concern that climate change, increased water taking through farm dam development, increasing use of conjunctive groundwater will exacerbate issues related the quantity of water in the rivers and the groundwater aquifers. Policy approaches to address these issues will require addressing potentially conflicting interests of multiple effected parties in a balanced way. This paper describes a modeling framework being developed for integrated assessment of impacts on diverse stakeholders of options to manage water supply and demand in the Murray Darling Basin. Two models building on the same hydrogeology – agronomic relationships are presented. One is an optimisation approach to modelling irrigator demand for water. The other is a simulation of irrigator and environmental manager behaviour in a stylised Murray Basin model with stochastic supply and price. We demonstrate application of both models to evaluation of environmental water acquisition strategies for the Murray Basin.
