description: The risk of kidney stone production may be increased by type II diabetes disorder. Existing cross-sectional data regarding diabetes mellitus as a predisposing factor for nephrolithiasis is limited. Objective: The sonographic assessment of kidney stones in diabetic patients of age, ranging from 30-50 years. Methods: To evaluate the kidney stones in diabetic patients, a descriptive study was conducted comprised of two groups including 200 participants. The questionnaire was used as a primary data collection tool. Their age and gender were evaluated and with the help of ultrasound, the number of stones and their location in kidney of diabetic patients was examined. Results: 66 out of a total of 200 diabetic patients had shown the kidney stones in them. Kidney stones of size 20mm, 22mm causing obstruction were detected in the diabetic patients while sonographic assessment. On the other hand, stones of size 6mm, 14mm, 11mm which were non-obstructive were also observed. The stones of 22mm and 14mm were leading mild to moderate hydronephrosis. 73 stones were detected in patients. Majority of them possessed single stone whereas, two out them contained four stones individually. Conclusion: There is a presence of kidney stones among diabetic patients. According to the present literature, kidney gets affected due to impaired insulin production and accumulation of excessive glucose, but there is a requirement to conduct additional studies to identify the biochemistry behind it as this present study is only concerned with the assessment of stones among the patients who are diabetic.

description: The JWST will deliver large data sets of high-quality spectral data over the 0.6-28 $μ$m range. It will combine sensitivity, spectral and spatial resolution. Specific tools are required to provide efficient scientific analysis of such large data sets. Our aim is to illustrate the potential of unsupervised learning methods to get insights into chemical variations in the populations that carry the aromatic infrared bands (AIBs), more specifically PAH species and carbonaceous very small grains (VSGs). We present a method based on linear fitting and blind signal separation (BSS) for extracting representative spectra for a spectral data set. The method is fast and robust, which ensures its applicability to JWST spectral cubes. We tested this method on a sample of ISO-SWS data, which resemble most closely the JWST spectra in terms of spectral resolution and coverage. Four representative spectra were extracted. Their main characteristics appear consistent with previous studies with populations dominated by cationic PAHs, neutral PAHs, evaporating VSGs, and large ionized PAHs, known as the PAH$^x$ population. In addition, the 3 $μ$m range, which is considered here for the first time in a BSS method, reveals the presence of aliphatics connected to neutral PAHs. Each representative spectrum is found to carry second-order spectral signatures (e.g. small bands), which are connected with the underlying chemical diversity of populations. However, the precise attribution of theses signatures remains limited by the combined small size and heterogeneity of the sample of astronomical spectra available in this study. The upcoming JWST data will allow us to overcome this limitation. The large data sets of hyperspectral images provided by JWST analysed with the proposed method, which is fast and robust, will open promising perspectives for our understanding of the chemical evolution of the AIB carriers.

description: We present new Hubble Space Telescope STIS, high-resolution optical imaging of a sample of 13 submillimeter (submm) luminous galaxies, for which the optical emission has been pinpointed either through radio-1.4 GHz or millimeter interferometry. We find a predominance of irregular and complex morphologies in the sample, suggesting that mergers are likely common for submm galaxies. The component separation in these objects are on average a factor two larger than local galaxies with similarly high bolometric luminosities. The sizes and star formation rates of the submm galaxies are consistent with the maximal star formation rate densities of 20 Msun kpc^{-2} in local starburst galaxies (Lehnert & Heckman 1996). We derive quantitative morphological information for the optical galaxies hosting the submm emission; total and isophotal magnitudes, Petrosian radius, effective radius, concentration, aspect ratio, surface brightness, and asymmetry. We compare these morphological indices with those of other galaxies lying within the same STIS images. Most strikingly, we find ~70% of the submm galaxies to be extraordinarily large and elongated relative to the field population, regardless of optical magnitude. Comparison of the submm galaxy morphologies with those of optically selected galaxies at z~2-3 reveal the submm galaxies to be a morphologically distinct population, with generally larger sizes, higher concentrations and more prevalent major-merger configurations.

description: In this study we use a comprehensive household income and expenditure survey with a sample of 245 respondents representing urban and rural households in the Renk County of South Sudan to assess the prevalence of poverty and inequality in the study area. We used the cost of basic needs; to establish both food poverty line and Poverty line; estimated poverty incidence, gap and severity; and estimated different equality measures. Major results show that 87% and 73% of the urban and rural households respectively fall below our calculated poverty lines. The estimated Gini coefficient was 18% and 20% for urban and rural households, respectively. Results of other equality measures show higher inequality between the poorest and richest segments of households as the richest quintile among urban households consumes 5 times that of the poorest, while that of the rural households consumes 4 4 folds the poorest quintile.

description: In this paper, we study in detail the evolution of a mini-sigmiod originating in a cross-equatorial coronal hole, where the magnetic field is mostly open and seriously distinct from the closed background field above active-region sigmoids. The source region first appeared as a bipole, which subsequently experienced a rapid emergence followed by a long-term decay. Correspondingly, the coronal structure initially appeared as arc-like loops, then gradually sheared and transformed into continuously sigmoidal loops, mainly owing to flux cancellation near the polarity inversion line. The temperature of J-shaped and sigmoidal loops is estimated to be about $2.0\times10^{6}$ K, greater than that of the background coronal hole. Using the flux-rope insertion method, we further reconstruct the nonlinear force-free fields that well reproduces the transformation of the potential field into a sigmoidal field. The fact that the sheared and sigmoidal loops are mainly concentrated at around the high-Q region implies that the reconnection most likely takes place there to form the sigmoidal field and heat the plasma. Moreover, the twist of sigmoidal field lines is estimated to be around 0.8, less than the values derived for the sigmoids from active regions. However, the sigmoidal flux may quickly enter an unstable regime at the very low corona ($<10\ Mm$) due to the open background field. The results suggest that the mini-sigmoid, at least the one in our study, has the same formation and eruption process as the large-scale one, but is significantly influenced by the overlying flux.

Electron-cyclotron maser emission from white-dwarf pairs and white-dwarf planetary systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: By analogy to Jovian radio emissions powered by the electromagnetic interaction between Jupiter and its moons, we propose that close magnetic-nonmagnetic white-dwarf pairs and white-dwarf planetary systems are strong radio sources. A simple model is developed to predict the flux densities of radio emission generated by a loss-cone-driven electron-cyclotron maser. The radio emission from these systems has high brightness temperatures, is highly polarized, and varies on a periodic cycle following the orbital rotation. Masers from magnetic-nonmagnetic white-dwarf pairs, with orbital periods <10 min, are expected to be detectable over a wide range of radio frequencies. Terrestrial planets in close orbits about magnetic white dwarfs, with orbital periods $\la 30$ hr, can also produce detectable radio emission, thus providing a means to identify Earth-sized extrasolar planets.

description: A cancer weight of evidence (WOE) analysis based on updated toxicokinetics, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity data for 1,3-dichloropropene was peer reviewed by a panel of experts. Historically, 1,3-dichloropropene has been classified in the U.S. as “likely to be carcinogenic to humans” via oral and inhalation exposure routes based upon the results of rodent cancer bioassays conducted in the 1980s. Contemporary studies led the authors of the WOE analysis to conclude that the currently manufactured form of 1,3-dichloropropene is not mutagenic and not carcinogenic below certain doses, pointing to a threshold-based approach for cancer risk assessment. SciPinion conducted a peer review of the WOE analysis using methods for assembling and managing blinded expert panels that maximize expertise while minimizing potential selection/participation bias. The process was implemented through a web-based application that poses a series of questions soliciting the experts’ scientific opinions and observations about specific topics. The goal of the peer review was to have experts provide conclusions about the WOE for carcinogenicity classification of 1,3-dichloropropene, identify potential data gaps, and evaluate the validity of a threshold-based risk assessment for 1,3-dichloropropene. Based on a robust peer review of the current scientific information, a cancer WOE classification of “not likely to be carcinogenic to humans” is best supported for 1,3-dichloropropene. This conclusion is reached with a high degree of consensus (consensus score = 0.92) across expert panel members.
Evidence for a Major Merger Origin of High Redshift Sub-millimeter Galaxies

description: Sub-mm detected galaxies located at redshifts $z > 1$ host a major fraction of the bolometric luminosity at high redshifts due to thermal emission from heated dust grains, yet the nature of these objects remains a mystery. The major problem in understanding their origin is whether the dust heating mechanism is predominantly caused by star formation or active galactic nuclei, and what triggered this activity. We address this issue by examining the structures of a sample of 11 sub-mm galaxies imaged with STIS on the Hubble Space Telescope. We argue that ~61pm21% of these sub-mm sources are undergoing an active major merger using the CAS quantitative morphological system. We rule out at ~5sigma confidence that these sub-mm galaxies are normal Hubble types at high redshift. This merger fraction appears to be higher than for Lyman-break galaxies undergoing mergers at similar redshifts. Using reasonable constraints on the stellar masses of Lyman-Break galaxies and these sub-mm sources, we further argue that at redshifts z~2-3 systems with high stellar masses are more likely than lower mass galaxies to be involved in major mergers.

description: The paper uses firm level panel data for Indian industries in the post-reform period to study the direct and indirect productivity effects generated by foreign investment. It finds no evidence that foreign investment directly increased firm-level productivity, nor that R&D spending was more productive in firms or sectors with higher foreign investment. It however finds strong evidence that local firms benefited from foreign investment in their industries. These benefits are higher for larger firms and those that do more business domestically.

description: We show that, if the formula for the topological charge density operator suggested by fermions obeying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation is employed, it is possible to give a precise and unambiguous definition of the topological susceptibility in full QCD, chi_tL, for finite quark masses on the lattice. The lattice expression of chi_tL looks like the formal continuum one, in the sense that no power divergent subtractions are needed for its proper definition. As a consequence, the small mass behaviour of chi_tL leads directly to a multiplicative renormalizable definition of the chiral condensate that does not require any power divergent subtraction.

description: We study the Fleming-Viot particle process formed by N interacting continuous-time asymmetric random walks on the cycle graph, with uniform killing. We show that this model has a remarkable exact solvability, despite the fact that it is non-reversible with non-explicit invariant distribution. Our main results include quantitative propagation of chaos and exponential ergodicity with explicit constants, as well as formulas for covariances at equilibrium in terms of the Chebyshev polynomials. We also obtain a bound uniform in time for the convergence of the proportion of particles in each state when the number of particles goes to infinity.

description: We study the gravitational wave signals emitted from phase-transition induced collapses of rapidly rotating neutron stars to strange stars by performing 3D numerical simulations. Our preliminary results suggest that the complete conversion of neutron stars to strange stars would occur within a fraction of millisecond. We also find that the gravitational waves generated from the collapse process may be detectable by the advanced LIGO for reasonable source distance. In addition, the study such gravitational wave signals would put useful constraint on the parameters of QCD.

description: The $γn \to π^0 n$ differential cross section evaluated for 27 energy bins span the photon-energy range 290-813 MeV (W = 1.195-1.553 GeV) and the pion c.m. polar production angles, ranging from 18 deg to 162 deg, making use of model-dependent nuclear corrections to extract pi0 production data on the neutron from measurements on the deuteron target. Additionally, the total photoabsorption cross section was measured. The tagged photon beam produced by the 883-MeV electron beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI was used for the 0-meson production. Our accumulation of 3.6 x 10^6 $γn \to π^0 n$ events allowed a detailed study of the reaction dynamics. Our data are in reasonable agreement with previous A2 measurements and extend them to lower energies. The data are compared to predictions of previous SAID, MAID, and BnGa partial-wave analyses and to the latest SAID fit MA19 that included our data. Selected photon decay amplitudes $N^* \to γn$ at the resonance poles are determined for the first time.

description: Este trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a lucratividade de uma posição padrão de spread, utilizando-se dados dos últimos vencimentos do Contrato Futuro de Algodão em Pluma, negociado na Bolsa de Mercadorias e Futuros (BM&F) e do Contrato Futuro do Algodão No. 2, negociado na New York Board of Trade (NYBOT), no período de abril a dezembro de 2005 para a Bolsa brasileira e julho de 2004 a dezembro de 2005 para a dos EUA. Os resultados demonstram que não há grande diferença entre os ganhos (ou perdas, como predominou nas operações de ambas as Bolsas) com spread efetuado na BM&F e na NYBOT, a Bolsa de maior liquidez. Todavia, esses resultados (em sua maioria) de perdas devem ser considerados com cautela, pois a significância estatística proveniente de algumas operações (em maior magnitude na NYBOT), é consistente com a Lei do Preço Único, verificando-se que o diferencial na obtenção de ganhos possui a capacidade de proporcionar lucro de arbitragem, mas em pequeno grau, pois as duas Bolsas não possuem diferença significativa na lucratividade das posições adotadas nos contratos. Na BM&F a maioria dos meses é consistente com rendimento de posições supondo risco zero.

description: Solving for molecular excited states remains one of the key challenges of modern quantum chemistry. Traditional methods are constrained by existing computational capabilities, limiting the complexity of the molecules that can be studied or the accuracy of the results that can be obtained. Several quantum computing methods have been suggested to address this limitation. However, these typically have hardware requirements which may not be achieved in the near term. We propose a variational quantum machine learning based method to determine molecular excited states aiming at being as resilient as possible to the defects of early Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers and demonstrate an implementation for H2 on IBMQ. Our method uses a combination of two parametrized quantum circuits, working in tandem, combined with a Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) to iteratively find the eigenstates of a molecular Hamiltonian.

description: In order to get homogeneous nanostructured Aluminum Nitride deposits, thin films were grown at room temperature on [001] Si substrates by radio frequency magnetron reactive sputtering. The deposits were analysed by Transmission Electron Microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. Their microstructure and chemical composition were studied versus the plasma working pressure and the radio frequency power. Systematic analysis of cross views of the films allowed the authors to draw a microstructure/process parameters map. Four microstructural types were distinguished according to the decrease of the deposition rate. One is the well-known columnar microstructure. The second one is made of interrupted columns or fibrous grains. The third one is made of nano-sized particles (size of the particles ranges from 1.7 to 8 nm). The fourth and last microstructure is amorphous. The "deposit morphology-process parameters" correlation is commented on.

description: Formaldehyde is a reactive aldehyde naturally present in all plant and animal tissues and a critical component of the one-carbon metabolism pathway. It is also a high production volume chemical used in the manufacture of numerous products. Formaldehyde is also one of the most well-studied chemicals with respect to environmental fate, biology, and toxicology—including carcinogenic potential, and mode of action (MOA). In 2006, a published MOA for formaldehyde-induced nasal tumors in rats concluded that nasal tumors were most likely driven by cytotoxicity and regenerative cell proliferation, with possible contributions from direct genotoxicity. In the past 15 years, new research has better informed the MOA with the publication of in vivo genotoxicity assays, toxicogenomic analyses, and development of ultra-sensitive methods to measure endogenous and exogenous formaldehyde-induced DNA adducts. Herein, we review and update the MOA for nasal tumors, with particular emphasis on the numerous studies published since 2006. These new studies further underscore the involvement of cytotoxicity and regenerative cell proliferation, and further inform the genotoxic potential of inhaled formaldehyde. The data lend additional support for the use of mechanistic data for the derivation of toxicity criteria and/or scientifically supported approaches for low-dose extrapolation for the risk assessment of formaldehyde.

description: The traditional concept of phase transitions has, in recent years, been widened in a number of interesting ways. The concept of a topological phase transition separating phases with a different ground state topology, rather than phases of different symmetries, has become a large widely studied field in its own right. Additionally an analogy between phase transitions, described by non-analyticities in the derivatives of the free energy, and non-analyticities which occur in dynamically evolving correlation functions has been drawn. These are called dynamical phase transitions and one is often now far from the equilibrium situation. In these short lecture notes we will give a brief overview of the history of these concepts, focusing in particular on the way in which dynamical phase transitions themselves can be used to shed light on topological phase transitions and topological phases. We will go on to focus, first, on the effect which the topologically protected edge states, which are one of the interesting consequences of topological phases, have on dynamical phase transitions. Second we will consider what happens in the experimentally relevant situations where the system begins either in a thermal state rather than the ground state, or exchanges particles with an external environment.

description: Opinions differ among economists as to how effective statistical analyses using time series data can be in identifying factors affecting demand and in measuring their influences. Although this presentation may not materially modify these opinions, it should at least succeed in making even the most skeptical aware of some of the problems involved in analyses employing time series data. It is not the purpose of this paper to make a survey or review of previous demand studies. Instead, it concentrates on certain methodological approaches and what implications they may have in helping the analyst to measure demand. But with the many problems that face the statistical analyst in this task, perhaps good luck is what he needs most. Measurement of demand in the final analysis has no meaning unless it helps us answer some of the practical questions of economic life : Helping farmers to predict the expected price associated with given (or assumed) levels of production and consumer income, helping a Congressman to estimate the expected change in consumption if prices to farmers are raised when all other factors are left unchanged. This article is based upon a paper presented at the National Symposium on Dairy Market Development sponsored by the American Dairy Association in Chicago last November. Although the practical examples draw heavily on the dairy industry, the conclusions generally apply to all agricultural commodities. The author gratefully acknowledges helpful suggestions from Arthur Harlow and Hyman Weingarten.

description: Glioblastomas are among the most lethal cancers, with a 5 year survival rate below 25%. Temozolomide is typically used in glioblastoma treatment; however, the enzymes alkylpurine-DNA-N-glycosylase (APNG) and methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) efficiently mediate the repair of DNA damage caused by temozolomide, reducing treatment efficacy. Consequently, APNG and MGMT inhibition have been proposed as a way of overcoming chemotherapy resistance. Here, we develop a mechanistic mathematical model that explicitly incorporates the effect of chemotherapy on tumour cells, including the processes of DNA damage induction, cell arrest and DNA repair. Our model is carefully parametrized and validated, and then used to virtually recreate the response of heteroclonal glioblastoma to dual treatment with temozolomide and inhibitors of APNG/MGMT. Using our mechanistic model, we identify four combination treatment strategies optimized by tumour cell phenotype, and isolate the strategy most likely to succeed in a pre-clinical and clinical setting. If confirmed in clinical trials, these strategies have the potential to offset chemotherapy resistance in glioblastoma patients, and improve overall survival.
