MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF MALARIA TRANSMISSION

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Malaria is an infectious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite and transmitted between humans through bites of female anopheles mosquito. In this thesis, we present
an ordinary differential equation mathematical model in order to investigate the effect of
immigration of susceptible human and contact rates (contact rates of infected human to
susceptible mosquito and infected mosquito to susceptible human ) in the transmission of
malaria in human and mosquito populations. We develop a dimension less malaria transmission model by introducing some dimensionless parameters.And then we perform the
stability analysis of the model and the basic reproduction number was determined by using
the next generation matrix approach.We have proved that the Diseases Free equilibrium
point is locally asymptotically stable if R0 < 1 and unstable when R0 > 1. Global stability
of the DFE point is also performed by using the concept of Lyapunov Function and Invariance Principle(that is DFE point Global asymptotically stability if R0 ≤ 1). We also
proved that the endemic equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable if R0 > 1 and
unstable when R0 < 1. Numerical simulation have been done by applying the mathematical
soft ware MATLAB. These numerical simulations shows that immigration of susceptible
human and contact rates have significant effect in the transmission of malaria in human
and mosquito populations.

description: The space of $C^1$ cubic Clough-Tocher splines is a classical finite element approximation space over triangulations for solving partial differential equations. However, for such a space there is no B-spline basis available, which is a preferred choice in computer aided geometric design and isogeometric analysis. A B-spline basis is a locally supported basis that forms a convex partition of unity. In this paper, we explore several alternative $C^1$ cubic spline spaces over triangulations equipped with a B-spline basis. They are defined over a Powell-Sabin refined triangulation and present different types of $C^2$ super-smoothness. The super-smooth B-splines are obtained through an extraction process, i.e., they are expressed in terms of less smooth basis functions. These alternative spline spaces maintain the same optimal approximation power as Clough-Tocher splines. This is illustrated with a selection of numerical examples in the context of least squares approximation and finite element approximation for second and fourth order boundary value problems.
Maternal vitamin B₁₂ status in early pregnancy and its association with birth outcomes and newborn vitamin B₁₂ status
Creators: name: Tan, Amy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Vitamin B₁₂ (B₁₂), a coenzyme required for DNA synthesis, methylation, and myelination, is important for fetal growth and development. Lower maternal B₁₂ status has been associated with preterm birth (<37 gestational weeks) and low birth weight (<2,500 grams), which are linked to morbidity and mortality across the lifespan. In Canada, 17-25% of women in early pregnancy were classified as B₁₂ deficient (serum total B₁₂ concentration <148 pmol/L) and maternal total B₁₂ concentration decreases throughout pregnancy; however, there is limited research on whether maternal B₁₂ status is associated with birth outcomes in Canadian pregnant women. This study aimed to determine the association between maternal B₁₂ status and birth outcomes and newborn functional B₁₂ status, and to identify predictors of newborn functional B₁₂ status. A secondary analysis of 709 mother-newborn pairs in British Columbia (BC), Canada, was conducted. Bio-banked first- (n=656) and second-trimester (n=709) maternal serum samples of apparently healthy South Asian (50%) and European (50%) women from the BC Prenatal Genetic Screening Program were quantified for B₁₂ biomarkers (total B₁₂, holotranscobalamin (holoTC), methylmalonic acid (MMA) and total homocysteine (tHcy)). Functional newborn B₁₂ status was indicated by MMA quantified in dried blood spots (DBSs). Obstetric history and birth outcome data were obtained from the BC Perinatal Data Registry. All associations were determined using multiple linear regression. Maternal B₁₂ biomarker concentrations were not linearly associated with birth weight z-score, head circumference z-score and gestational age at birth. However, a 10-pmol/L increase in first- and second-trimester maternal total B₁₂ and holoTC were associated with a 0.5-0.6% and 2.4-2.8% decrease in newborn DBS MMA, respectively; and a 10-nmol/L increase in first- and second-trimester maternal MMA and a 1-μmol/L increase in second-trimester tHcy with a 0.7-0.8% and 3% increase in newborn DBS MMA, respectively. Predictors of newborn DBS MMA concentration include maternal MMA concentration in both trimesters, first-trimester holoTC and second-trimester total B₁₂, hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, parity, newborn sex, newborn feeding following delivery, gestational age at birth and neonatal age at DBS collection. Further research in women at high risk of adverse birth outcomes, and the association between newborn MMA and functional outcomes is needed.

description: One way to produce complete inspiral-merger-ringdown gravitational waveforms from black-hole-binary systems is to connect post-Newtonian (PN) and numerical-relativity (NR) results to create "hybrid" waveforms. Hybrid waveforms are central to the construction of some phenomenological models for GW search templates, and for tests of GW search pipelines. The dominant error source in hybrid waveforms arises from the PN contribution, and can be reduced by increasing the number of NR GW cycles that are included in the hybrid. Hybrid waveforms are considered sufficiently accurate for GW detection if their mismatch error is below 3% (i.e., a fitting factor about 0.97). We address the question of the length requirements of NR waveforms such that the final hybrid waveforms meet this requirement, considering nonspinning binaries with q = M_2/M_1 \in [1,4] and equal-mass binaries with χ= S_i/M_i^2 \in [-0.5,0.5]. We conclude that for the cases we study simulations must contain between three (in the equal-mass nonspinning case) and ten (the χ= 0.5 case) orbits before merger, but there is also evidence that these are the regions of parameter space for which the least number of cycles will be needed.

description: Traffic prediction is a crucial topic because of its broad scope of applications in the transportation domain. Recently, various studies have achieved promising results. However, most studies assume the prediction locations have complete or at least partial historical records and cannot be extended to non-historical recorded locations. In real-life scenarios, the deployment of sensors could be limited due to budget limitations and installation availability, which makes most current models not applicable. Though few pieces of literature tried to impute traffic states at the missing locations, these methods need the data simultaneously observed at the locations with sensors, making them not applicable to prediction tasks. Another drawback is the lack of measurement of uncertainty in prediction, making prior works unsuitable for risk-sensitive tasks or involving decision-making. To fill the gap, inspired by the previous inductive graph neural network, this work proposed an uncertainty-aware framework with the ability to 1) extend prediction to missing locations with no historical records and significantly extend spatial coverage of prediction locations while reducing deployment of sensors and 2) generate probabilistic prediction with uncertainty quantification to help the management of risk and decision making in the down-stream tasks. Through extensive experiments on real-life datasets, the result shows our method achieved promising results on prediction tasks, and the uncertainty quantification gives consistent results which highly correlated with the locations with and without historical data. We also show that our model could help support sensor deployment tasks in the transportation field to achieve higher accuracy with a limited sensor deployment budget.

description: The lifetime of an unstable state or resonance formed as an intermediate state in two body scattering is known to be related to the dwell time or the time spent within a given region of space by the two interacting particles. This concept is extended to the case of three body systems and a relation connecting the three body dwell time with the two body dwell times of the substructures of the three body system is derived for the case of separable wave functions. The Kapur Peierls formalism is revisited to discover one of the first definitions of dwell time in literature. An extension of the Kapur Peierls formalism to the three body case shows that the lifetime of a three body resonance can indeed be given by the three body dwell time.

The Trouble With Emergence

description: I have grown suspicious of the word emergence and the concepts it designates. More often than not, the term seems to serve as a deus ex machina whenever other models or theories cannot account for a certain new aspect or object. Emergence is then used as though it were based on a concept or a theory, when all the term does is label something as complex, unpredictable, and only comprehensible after the fact. It is my contention that, particularly in the study of culture, we need to carefully scrutinize the ways in which we use emergence and recheck them for their actual analytical and/or heuristic benefit.

Schools under Fire?

description: Contrary to popular belief, rampage violence at suburban and rural schools occurred before the infamous Columbine High School shooting in April 1999. While school shootings — before Columbine gained international media attention — were treated as a local rather than a national or even international problem, they are now seen as an emergent phenomenon that has to be addressed with appropriate urgency. In this paper, I want to examine whether school shootings are in fact increasing and address the medial construction of the discourse of emergency that has evolved around these acts of excessive violence. I argue that the public perception of school shootings is inseparably intertwined with the media dynamics in the aftermath of these incidents. In these discursive dynamics, I argue, it can be seen that these acts of violence lay open society’s underlying fears. School shootings, as this paper shows, are closely linked to contemporary media logic and can be understood as examples of the contemporary dynamics of cultural discourses of emergency.

A sample of 1056 galaxies with distances measured from the Tip of the Red Giant Branch, the Cepheid luminosity, the SNIa luminosity, the surface brightness fluctuation method, and the Tully-Fisher relation has been used for this purpose. The amplitude of outflow is found to be ~300 km/s. The galaxies located within the void produce the mean intra-void number density about 1/5 of the mean external number density of galaxies. The void's population has a lower luminosity and a later morphological type with the medians: M_B = -15.7^m and T = 8 (Sdm), respectively.

description: With the increasing prevalence of IoT environments, the demand for processing massive distributed data streams has become a critical challenge. Data Stream Processing on the Edge (DSPoE) systems have emerged as a solution to address this challenge, but they often struggle to cope with the heterogeneity of hardware and platforms. To address this issue, we propose a new hybrid DSPoE architecture named GALOIS, which is based on WebAssembly (Wasm) and is hardware-, platform-, and language-agnostic. GALOIS employs a multi-layered approach that combines P2P and master-worker concepts for communication between components. We present experimental results showing that operators executed in Wasm outperform those in Docker in terms of energy and CPU consumption, making it a promising option for streaming operators in DSPoE. We therefore expect Wasm-based solutions to significantly improve the performance and resilience of DSPoE systems.
Emergency in Protest

Publisher: name: On_Culture

description: Protests often indicate social states of emergency. The Gezi protests, in which people from various social, political, and class backgrounds went to the streets to voice their dissent, reflected a state of emergency in Turkey. Young people, often referred to as members of the country’s post-1980 apolitical generation within public discourse, unexpectedly gathered on the streets and acted as the frontrunners of this mass movement. Their way of protesting through creative performances and humor effectively increased their visibility. Drawing upon the concept of emergency, and guided by a cultural performative approach, this article focuses on young people’s experiences of protest. It is a study of the reasons and meanings behind young people’s participation in the protests, as well as of values such as trust, solidarity, and collectivity upon which their action was grounded. My findings are based on qualitative field research, i. e., in-depth interviews conducted with young participants of the Gezi protests in İstanbul. The investigation is driven by the questions of how young people describe the notion of the political in relation to trust, solidarity, and collectivity, and how these diverse ways of describing the political through practices foreshadow a new understanding of the political.

description: WebAssembly is the fourth officially endorsed Web language. It is recognized because of its efficiency and design, focused on security. Yet, its swiftly expanding ecosystem lacks robust software diversification systems. We introduce WASM-MUTATE, a diversification engine specifically designed for WebAssembly. Our engine meets several essential criteria: 1) To quickly generate functionally identical, yet behaviorally diverse, WebAssembly variants, 2) To be universally applicable to any WebAssembly program, irrespective of the source programming language, and 3) Generated variants should counter side-channels. By leveraging an e-graph data structure, WASM-MUTATE is implemented to meet both speed and efficacy. We evaluate WASM-MUTATE by conducting experiments on 404 programs, which include real-world applications. Our results highlight that WASM-MUTATE can produce tens of thousands of unique and efficient WebAssembly variants within minutes. Significantly, WASM-MUTATE can safeguard WebAssembly binaries against timing side-channel attacks,especially those of the Spectre type.

description: In this article, we introduce a novel algorithm for efficient near-field synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging for irregular scanning geometries. With the emergence of fifth-generation (5G) millimeter-wave (mmWave) devices, near-field SAR imaging is no longer confined to laboratory environments. Recent advances in positioning technology have attracted significant interest for a diverse set of new applications in mmWave imaging. However, many use cases, such as automotive-mounted SAR imaging, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imaging, and freehand imaging with smartphones, are constrained to irregular scanning geometries. Whereas traditional near-field SAR imaging systems and quick personnel security (QPS) scanners employ highly precise motion controllers to create ideal synthetic arrays, emerging applications, mentioned previously, inherently cannot achieve such ideal positioning. In addition, many Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G applications impose strict size and computational complexity limitations that must be considered for edge mmWave imaging technology. In this study, we propose a novel algorithm to leverage the advantages of non-cooperative SAR scanning patterns, small form-factor multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars, and efficient monostatic planar image reconstruction algorithms. We propose a framework to mathematically decompose arbitrary and irregular sampling geometries and a joint solution to mitigate multistatic array imaging artifacts. The proposed algorithm is validated through simulations and an empirical study of arbitrary scanning scenarios. Our algorithm achieves high-resolution and high-efficiency near-field MIMO-SAR imaging, and is an elegant solution to computationally constrained irregularly sampled imaging problems.

Kane’s depiction of severe, psychotic depression is in line with phenomenological accounts of the illness, in which depression is understood as an emergent phenomenon that gives rise to alterations in the embodied being-in-the-world of the subject. The text refers to common cognitive-affective experiences and folk-psychological understandings of the mind and employs different intertextual, narrative and poetic strategies to convey the phenomenal world of depression to its readers. In addition, Kane emphasizes that to treat depression a deeper understanding of this ‘state of emergency’ is needed than what medicalizing psychiatry is able to provide.

description: Understanding functional organization of genetic information is a major challenge in modern biology. Following the initial publication of the human genome sequence in 2001, advances in high-throughput measurement technologies and efficient sharing of research material through community databases have opened up new views to the study of living organisms and the structure of life. In this thesis, novel computational strategies have been developed to investigate a key functional layer of genetic information, the human transcriptome, which regulates the function of living cells through protein synthesis. The key contributions of the thesis are general exploratory tools for high-throughput data analysis that have provided new insights to cell-biological networks, cancer mechanisms and other aspects of genome function. A central challenge in functional genomics is that high-dimensional genomic observations are associated with high levels of complex and largely unknown sources of variation. By combining statistical evidence across multiple measurement sources and the wealth of background information in genomic data repositories it has been possible to solve some the uncertainties associated with individual observations and to identify functional mechanisms that could not be detected based on individual measurement sources. Statistical learning and probabilistic models provide a natural framework for such modeling tasks. Open source implementations of the key methodological contributions have been released to facilitate further adoption of the developed methods by the research community.

Fresh-Water Aquifer in the Knox Group (Cambrian–Ordovician) of Central Kentucky
Creators: name: Kipp, James A.
Publisher: name: Kentucky Geological Survey, University of Kentucky
Year: 1997

description: Abstract:
Fresh water can be found in Cambrian and Ordovician carbonate rocks of the Knox Group in central Kentucky. The top of the aquifer is as much as 300 ft above mean sea level (m.s.l.) on the crest of the Cincinnati Arch, but descends off the flanks of the arch. Water is normally found in the upper 100 to 250 ft of the Knox, primarily in secondary porosity apparently associated with the unconformity at the top of the unit. Knox wells commonly exceed 750 ft in total depth, but because the aquifer is artesian, water rises to an elevation of about 500 ft above m.s.l. in most wells in central Kentucky. Some wells near the crest of the Cincinnati Arch produce water with relatively low concentrations of dissolved solids (500 to 3,000 milligrams per liter [mg/L]). Concentrations of dissolved solids commonly exceed 10,000 mg/L away from the crest of the arch. The Knox aquifer provides modest quantities of water (normally on the order of 10 to 20 gallons per minute) with less than 1,000 mg/L of dissolved solids to several wells in the Inner Blue Grass Region. As a result, it is a potential source of water for rural domestic supplies in central Kentucky.

An efficient middle-out prediction structure for light field video compression using MV-HEVC
Creators: name: Khoury, Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Light field imaging has emerged as a technology that enables the capture of richer visual information. While traditional photography captures just a 2D projection of the light in the scene, a light field camera collects the radiance from rays in all directions and extracts the angular information that is otherwise lost in conventional photography. This angular information can be used to substantially improve immersiveness, focus, depth, color, intensity and perspective, opening up new market opportunities. Nevertheless, the high-dimensionality of light fields also brings with it its own new challenges such as the size of the captured data. Research in light field image compression is becoming increasingly popular, but light field video compression remains a relatively under-explored field. State of the art solutions attempt to apply existing multi-view coding (MVC) methods to encode light field videos. While these solutions show potential, they do not manage to address the bandwidth problem imposed by the size of data involved. Hence, there is a real need for improvement, taking advantage of the additional redundancies of light field video and the intricacies of this data. In this thesis, we proposed a three-dimensional prediction structure for efficiently coding light video using the MV-HEVC standard. First, we modify the inter-view structure in order to exploit the higher similarity found around the central set of views compared to those around the edges. In addition to this, the selection of which views start with a P-frame takes into consideration maximizing their utilization as references by other views. Secondly, we build upon this structure by expanding the GOP size and creating a more efficient temporal structure that better utilizes the higher-fidelity sequences as references for subsequent frames. The schema contains various temporal structures for compressing the views, which is based on their encoding order. This facilitates the latter views relying more heavily on frames from other views as references in order to compensate for the fact that the preceding frames are more quantized by comparison.

description: Using the width of emission lines in XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer spectra, we place direct constraints on the turbulent velocities of the X-ray emitting medium in the cores of 62 galaxy clusters, groups and elliptical galaxies. We find five objects where we can place an upper limit on the line-of-sight broadening of 500 km/s (90 per cent confidence level), using a single thermal component model. Two other objects are lower than this limit when two thermal components are used. Half of the objects examined have an upper limit on the velocity broadening of less than 700 km/s. To look for objects which have significant turbulent broadening, we use Chandra spectral maps to compute the expected broadening caused by the spatial extent of the source. Comparing these with our observed results, we find that Klemola 44 has extra broadening at the level of 1500 km/s. RX J1347.5-1145 shows weak evidence for turbulent velocities at 800 km/s. In addition we obtain limits on turbulence for Zw3146, Abell 496, Abell 1795, Abell 2204 and HCG 62 of less than 200 km/s. After subtraction of the spatial contribution and including a 50 km/s systematic uncertainty, we find at least 15 sources with less than 20 per cent of the thermal energy density in turbulence.

description: The accuracy and efficiency of computing multiple integrals is a very important problem
that arises in many scientific,financial and engineering applications.The research conducted in this thesis is designed to compare Trapezoidal,rectangular(direct iteration) and
Simpson rule’s with Monte Carlo simulation of double integral.The fundamental aim is
to assess techniques for numerically evaluating double integrals with high accuracy. From
the comparison, we obtained that Simpson’s rule for variable limit is better approximation
than Monte Carlo method.An application is the Monte Carlo method, which samples the
integrand at n randomly selected points and attempts to compute the mean value of the
integrand on the entire domain,and usually converge faster for quintuple multiple integrals
and higher, and yield greater accuracy for the same number of function evaluations than
repeated integrals using one dimensional method.

description: We present a new numerical method of special relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamics with scalar resistivity that can treat a range of phenomena, from nonrelativistic to relativistic (shock, contact discontinuity, and Alfvén wave). The present scheme calculates the numerical flux of fluid by using an approximate Riemann solver, and electromagnetic field by using the method of characteristics. Since this scheme uses appropriate characteristic velocities, it is capable of accurately solving problems that cannot be approximated as ideal magnetohydrodynamics and whose characteristic velocity is much lower than light velocity. The numerical results show that our scheme can solve the above problems as well as nearly ideal MHD problems. Our new scheme is particularly well suited to systems with initially weak magnetic field, and mixed phenomena of relativistic and non-relativistic velocity; for example, MRI in accretion disk, and super Alfvénic turbulence.

Late time solutions for inhomogeneous Lambda-CDM cosmology, their characterization and observation

description: Assuming homogeneous isotropic Lambda-CDM cosmology allows Lambda, spatial curvature and dark matter density to be inferred from large scale structure observations such as supernovae. The purpose of this paper is to extend this to allow observations to measure or constrain inhomogeneity and anisotropy. We obtain the general inhomogeneous anisotropic Lambda-CDM solution which is locally asymptotic to an expanding de Sitter solution as a late time expansion using Starobinsky's method (analogous to the `holographic renormalization' technique in AdS/CFT) together with a resummation of the series. The dark matter is modeled as perfect dust fluid. The terms in the expansion systematically describe inhomogeneous and anisotropic deformations of an expanding FLRW solution, and are given as a spatial derivative expansion in terms of data characterizing the solution - a 3-metric and a perturbation of that 3-metric. Leading terms describe inhomogeneity and anisotropy on the scale set by the cosmological constant, approximately the horizon scale today. Higher terms in the expansion describe shorter scale variations. We compute the luminosity distance-redshift relation and argue that comparison with current and future observation would allow a partial reconstruction of the characterizing data. We also comment on smoothing these solutions noting that geometric flows (such as Ricci flow) applied to the characterizing data provide a canonical averaging method.

MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN  CANCER AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH TREATMENT (THERAPY)
Creators: name: AREGASH DAWUD HASSEN
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Cancer is a disease caused by the accumulation of phenotype-altering genetic mutations in
somatic cells. A mathematical model describes the impact of the immunodeficiency virus
on the cellular population of tumor-immune interaction cultured with immunotherapy and
interleukin  IL-2  in  terms  of  mathematical  equations  and  these  equations  represent  the
relations  between  relevant  properties  of  the  compartments.  The  aim  of  this  study  is to
understand the dynamics of the interaction between cancer and the immune system with
immunotherapy treatment, and try to identify possible intervention mechanisms to cure the
disease by applying mathematical modelling. The dynamic model is developed based on
basic  mathematical  modelling  techniques  leading  to  a  system  of  ordinary  differential
equations (ODEs). Qualitative analysis of the model applies dimensional analysis, scaling
and bifurcation analysis in addition to stability theory for ODE systems. We also derive the
equilibrium  points  of  the  model  and  investigate  their  stability  both  locally  and  globally.
Our  results  show  that,  there  are  two  threshold  values  of  the  burst  size:  below  the  first
threshold the tumor always grows to its maximum size; while passing this threshold, there
is a locally stable positive equilibrium solution appearing through transcritical bifurcation:
while  at  or  above  the  second  threshold,  there  exist  one  or  three  families  of  periodic
solutions arising from Hopf bifurcations. Our study suggests that the tumor lode can drop
to a undetectable level either during the oscillation or when the burst size is large enough.
Numerical simulations  are carried  out  applying  the  numerical  software  Matlab.  These
simulations show the behavior of the populations in time and the stability of equilibrium
points.  The  numerical  simulation  with  its  estimated  and  the  current  medical  literature
parameters  indicates  the  highlight  key  values  of  the  burst  size  of  a  virus  in
immunodeficiency virus treatment. When the burst size is smaller than the first threshold
value, immunotherapy always fail and it is in between of two threshold values, we have
partial success of immunotherapy represented by the stable positive equilibrium solutions.

description: Speech AI Technologies are largely trained on publicly available datasets or by the massive web-crawling of speech. In both cases, data acquisition focuses on minimizing collection effort, without necessarily taking the data subjects' protection or user needs into consideration. This results to models that are not robust when used on users who deviate from the dominant demographics in the training set, discriminating individuals having different dialects, accents, speaking styles, and disfluencies. In this talk, we use automatic speech recognition as a case study and examine the properties that ethical speech datasets should possess towards responsible AI applications. We showcase diversity issues, inclusion practices, and necessary considerations that can improve trained models, while facilitating model explainability and protecting users and data subjects. We argue for the legal & privacy protection of data subjects, targeted data sampling corresponding to user demographics & needs, appropriate meta data that ensure explainability & accountability in cases of model failure, and the sociotechnical \& situated model design. We hope this talk can inspire researchers \& practitioners to design and use more human-centric datasets in speech technologies and other domains, in ways that empower and respect users, while improving machine learning models' robustness and utility.

description: This study aimed to compare the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant coliforms and Escherichia coli strains between industrial and antimicrobial-free poultry manure. The mean counts of high-level antibiotic-resistant coliforms were determined using the spread plate technique. Metal and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli strains in manure samples was compared using plate dilution and CLSI procedures, respectively. Several multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli strains were screened for plasmids using alkaline lysis method as well. The relative abundance of high-level antibiotic-resistant coliforms was significantly (p 0.05 and 0.001) higher in industrial manure than in antimicrobial-free manure. Metal analysis indicated that the concentrations of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) in manure samples were significantly (p Escherichia coli strains was significantly (p 0.001) higher in industrial manure (97.4%) than in antimicrobial-free manure (80.7%). Four out of twelve screened Escherichia coli strains harbored plasmids. Considering the high number of drug-resistant isolates in both samples, reductions in co-selecting agents is essential for the effectiveness of antibiotics, along with controlling the activities which cause the spread of resistance.

description: Set-valued risk measures on $L^p_d$ with $0 \leq p \leq \infty$ for conical market models are defined, primal and dual representation results are given. The collection of initial endowments which allow to super-hedge a multivariate claim are shown to form the values of a set-valued sublinear (coherent) risk measure. Scalar risk measures with multiple eligible assets also turn out to be a special case within the set-valued framework.
