description: An experiment was conducted for a period of 60 (sixty) days during March to May 2003 to study the effect of Rhizobium inoculum and N-fertilizer on bio-mass production in 3 (three) stages (40d, 50d and 60d) of maturity of cowpea plants following a randomized block design (RBD). There were six treatments as: To (uninoculated control), Ti (inoculated), T2 (25 kg N/ha), T3 (inoculated 25 kg N/ha), T4 (35 kg N/ha) and T5 (45 kg N/ha) having three replication in each treatment With the advancement of plant age, yield of cowpea forage on green as well as dry basis increased linearly. The maximum green biomass (265 q/ha) production was attained in treatment T5 at 60 days of plant age against 200 q/h in untreated control (To). Similar trend was observed in total dry matter and organic matter production (P<0.05) at harvest age of 60 days. Crude protein in different treatments raged from 5.39 to 4.74, 4.24 to 6.64 and 4.04 to 6.35 q/ha in 40, 50 and 60 days of plant age respectively. Maximum yield of crude protein attained at 50% flowering stage (50d) of maturity in all treatments. Rhizobium inoculum and/or nitrogen fertilizer application had significant (P<0.01) effect on green matter, DM, OM, and CP yield of cowpea forage. Rhizobium inoculum with or without N-fertilizer or nitrogen fertilizer alone significantly (P<0.01) and progressively increased plant height over the control but decreased leaf and stem ratio at all stages of maturity. Inoculum + N fertilizer and N-fertilizer alone with the application of 35 to 45 kg N/ha from urea showed a tendency to enhance rate of branching compared to control (P<0.05).

description: As the reconstruction of the star-formation histories (SFH) of galaxies from spectroscopic data becomes increasingly popular, we explore the best age resolution achievable with stellar population synthesis (SPS) models, relying on different constraints: broad-band colours, absorption indices, a combination of the two, and the full spectrum. We perform idealized experiments on SPS models and show that the minimum resolvable relative duration of a star-formation episode (time difference between 10% and 90% of the stellar mass formed divided by the median age) is never better than 0.4, even when using spectra with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) larger than 100 per AA. Typically, the best relative age resolution ranges between 0.4 and 0.7 over most of the age-metallicity plane, corresponding to minimum bin sizes for SFH sampling between 0.15 and 0.25 dex. This resolution makes the spectroscopic exploration of distant galaxies mandatory in order to reconstruct the early phases of galaxies' SFHs. We show that spectroscopy with SNR $\gtrsim$ 2/AA is essential for good age resolution. Remarkably, using the full spectrum does not prove significantly more effective than relying on absorption indices, especially at SNR $\lesssim$ 20/AA. We discuss the physical origins of the age resolution trends as a function of age and metallicity, and identify the presence of maxima in age resolution (i.e. minima in measurable relative time duration) at the characteristic ages that correspond to quick time variations in spectral absorption features. We connect these maxima to bumps commonly observed in reconstructed SFHs.

The Arab Nahdha projects and the Arab intellectuals' perspectives of modernity and social change in the Arab world
Creators: name: Al-Sulaim, Fatimah Abdullah
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Since the introduction of modernity to the Arab World in 1798, the Arab World has experienced three attempts of modernization called (Arab Nahdha projects). These projects served as the theoretical and practical agenda for social change, designed for achieving liberty, progress and prosperity. The first two projects (1815--1837, and 1952--1970) failed, and the Arab World is currently going through the third attempt. The failure of the Nahdha projects, and the persistence of backwardness of the Arab World have resulted in rich and diverse intellectual writings about modernity and the desired social change in the Arab World. This qualitative study analyzes the Arab intellectuals' perspectives regarding modernity and social change in the Arab World. A classification of the main trends and currents of the Arab Intellectuals' thoughts is formulated as a methodological tool. This classification divides the intellectual thought into two main categories: modernity in Focus and modernity marginal. Each category is further divided, and the thought of each intellectual representing each main current is reviewed, discussed and analyzed in detail. Building on this classification, the analysis of the thought of Sadik Jalal al-Azm represents the extreme secular current, whereas the thought of Mohammad Arkoun represents the moderate secular current. While the ideas of Sayyid Qutb represents the Salafi current, the thought of Mohammad Abid al-Jabiri represents the reconciliatory current. The analysis clearly demonstrates the divers macro-perspectives of these intellectuals particularly in their interpretations of the causes of backwardness, and the agenda proposed for solutions and social change in the Arab World. In addition, this study shows a noticeable gap between the macro-perspectives of the intellectuals and the findings of some empirical micro-studies. This study demonstrates the inadequacy of relying on one single approach and proposes the integration of both macro and micro perspectives. Therefore, this study suggests integration between the macro and the micro perspectives in interdisciplinary studies about the social reality of the Arab World.

description: The experiment was undertaken to study the growth performance and meat yield characteristics of broiler on floor, slat, and cage systems and also to find out a suitable broiler rearing system. Ninety-nine broiler chicks (strain-Starbro) were allocated to three systems; cage (Ti), slat (T2) and floor (T3). Each group had 3-replications of 11 birds in each. All management procedures were similar for birds under study. Broiler performance in terms of live weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency, livability, cost affectivity, meat yield characteristics was evaluated and incidence of breast blisters were measured. The live weight gain, feed consumption, livability and cost affectivity of broiler production were better on slat system than other two management systems. Breast blisters and leg deformities were not found in birds reared on these three-management systems. The dressed yield was increased (P<0.05) on slat system, moderate in cage and lowest in floor system. No significant differences (P>0.05) on other meat yield traits in three management systems were observed.

description: The purpose of the study was to determine the extent of problem confrontation of the smallholder farmers in managing goat in two selected villages namely Sutiakhali and Digarkanda of sadar upzila under Mymensingh district. Attempts were also made to explore the relationship between the selected characteristics of farmers and the extent of problem confrontation in managing goat. Data were collected by using an interview schedule through face to face interviewing, which took 20 days from 3 August, 04 to 23 August, 04. A4 point modified Liken type scale was employed to measure the extent of problem confrontation of the smallholder farmers in managing goat base on the responses namely no, low, medium, and high with weights assigned as 0,1,2,and 3 respectively. Problem confrontation Index (PCI) ranged from 130 to 260 against a possible range of 0 to300. Top three problems according to rank order was 1) Lack of knowledge related to goat management 2) inadequate veterinary services 3) lack of knowledge of goat diseases. Overall problem confrontation of the farmers indicate that the highest proportion (66%) of the farmers had high problem, less than one half (34%) medium to low problem confrontation category in managing their goat. The relationships between the variables were tested by computing the coefficient of correlation. The results of correlation analysis revealed that out of nine possible correlations six were statistically significant. Among these five had negative relationship while only one variable had the significant positive relationship with the extent of problem confronted in managing goat.
Mixtures of Erlang distributions and renewal processes based on them
Creators: name: Dweik, Bashir M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Erlang Mixtures are useful in many fields including data modeling, statistical genetics and network communications. They are formed by mixing different gamma distributions with positive integer shape parameter j (also called Erlang) and common scale parameter lambda with a discrete mixing distribution s = (s1, s2,...). Definitions, notations, properties, and examples are given and results about moments, moment generating function, and closeness of Erlang mixture pdfs and cdfs are developed. Computational and graphical tools necessary for the use of these distributions are also provided. Four methods for estimating Erlang mixture parameters are discussed: the method of moments, density and moment least squares, and maximum likelihood estimation methods. Simulations are used to compare and evaluate these methods. Rice recombination data and the Old Faithful data are modeled by Erlang Mixtures. Renewal processes with Erlang mixtures interevent distances are discussed and computational expressions for their multilocus probabilities are presented.

description: We look for and analyze in some details some exact solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity with one or two Liouville-type dilaton potential(s) in an arbitrary dimension. Such a theory could be obtained by dimensionally reducing Einstein-Maxwell theory with a cosmological constant to a lower dimension. These (neutral/magnetic/electric charged) solutions can have a (two) black hole horizon(s), cosmological horizon, or a naked singularity. Black hole horizon or cosmological horizon of these solutions can be a hypersurface of positive, zero or negative constant curvature. These exact solutions are neither asymptotically flat, nor asymptotically AdS/dS. But some of them can be uplifted to a higher dimension, and those higher dimensional solutions are either asymptotically flat, or asymptotically AdS/dS with/without a compact constant curvature space. This observation is useful to better understand holographic properties of these non-asymptotically AdS/dS solutions.

description: Federated learning is a powerful technique that enables collaborative learning among different clients. Prototype-based federated learning is a specific approach that improves the performance of local models under non-IID (non-Independently and Identically Distributed) settings by integrating class prototypes. However, prototype-based federated learning faces several challenges, such as prototype redundancy and prototype failure, which limit its accuracy. It is also susceptible to poisoning attacks and server malfunctions, which can degrade the prototype quality. To address these issues, we propose FedRFQ, a prototype-based federated learning approach that aims to reduce redundancy, minimize failures, and improve \underline{q}uality. FedRFQ leverages a SoftPool mechanism, which effectively mitigates prototype redundancy and prototype failure on non-IID data. Furthermore, we introduce the BFT-detect, a BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerance) detectable aggregation algorithm, to ensure the security of FedRFQ against poisoning attacks and server malfunctions. Finally, we conduct experiments on three different datasets, namely MNIST, FEMNIST, and CIFAR-10, and the results demonstrate that FedRFQ outperforms existing baselines in terms of accuracy when handling non-IID data.
Is the Boltzmann equation reversible? A large deviation perspective on the irreversibility paradox

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the kinetic theory of dilute gases in the Boltzmann--Grad limit. We propose a new perspective based on a large deviation estimate for the probability of the empirical distribution dynamics. Assuming Boltzmann molecular chaos hypothesis (Stosszahlansatz), we derive a large deviation rate function, or action, that describes the stochastic process for the empirical distribution. The quasipotential for this action is the negative of the entropy, as should be expected. While the Boltzmann equation appears as the most probable evolution, corresponding to a law of large numbers, the action describes a genuine reversible stochastic process for the empirical distribution, in agreement with the microscopic reversibility. As a consequence, this large deviation perspective gives the expected meaning to the Boltzmann equation and explains its irreversibility as the natural consequence of limiting the physical description to the most probable evolution. More interestingly, it also quantifies the probability of any dynamical evolution departing from solutions of the Boltzmann equation. This picture is fully compatible with the heuristic classical view of irreversibility, but makes it much more precise in various ways. We also explain that this large deviation action provides a natural gradient structure for the Boltzmann equation.

description: Aqueous and ethanol extracts of twelve indigenous plants were screened for in vitro anthelmintic effect against adult gastrointestinal nematodes of goat origin (Haemonchus contortus, Trichostrongylus spp., Trichuris spp., Strongyloides papillosus, Oesophagostomum columbianum, Cooperia spp. and Buno.stomum trigonocephalum) and their infective larval stage (L3) obtained from in vitro culture. Aqueous extract of the plants showed potent (90-100%) effects against adult g/i nematodes at a concentration of 100 mg/ml whereas in ethanol extracts all plants except Amrul (Oxalis comiculata) were potent only at 50mg/m1 concentration. Ethanol extracts were found to be more effective than aqueous extract against both adult and infective larval stage (L3) comparing at different concentrations. In both cases in vitro activities against adults were much higher than that of infective larvae. Two patent drugs Deminthe (Morantel citrate) and Helmex0 (Albendazole) were included as positive control showed 100% effective against adult worms in vitro.
De Sitter Vacua from Heterotic M-Theory

description: It is shown how metastable de Sitter vacua might arise from heterotic M-theory. The balancing of its two non-perturbative effects, open membrane instantons against gaugino condensation on the hidden boundary, which act with opposing forces on the interval length, is used to stabilize the orbifold modulus (dilaton) and other moduli. The non-perturbative effects break supersymmetry spontaneously through F-terms which leads to a positive vacuum energy density. In contrast to the situation for the weakly coupled heterotic string, the charged scalar matter fields receive non-vanishing vacuum expectation values and therefore masses in a phenomenologically relevant regime. It is important that in order to obtain these de Sitter vacua we are not relying on exotic effects or fine-tuning of parameters. Vacua with more realistic supersymmetry breaking scales and gravitino masses are obtained by breaking the hidden $E_8$ gauge group down to groups of smaller rank. Also small values for the open membrane instanton Pfaffian are favored in this respect. Finally we outline how the incorporation of additional flux superpotentials can be used to stabilize the remaining moduli.

description: Interpretations of the Late Woodland stage along the western shore of Green Bay are primarily drawn from analogies to eastern groups living on the Door Peninsula or western groups living in Highland Lakes District. Without data from intact components at local sites, our ability to establish culture chronologies, determine settlement and subsistence practices, and evaluate relationships between the prehistoric and historic inhabitants of the region remains constrained. Recent investigations at the Runnoe Park locality of the Chautauqua Grounds Site (47MT71) in Marinette, Wisconsin offer a partial solution. During three summer field schools offered by the University of Wisconsin Colleges (1994, 1999, 2001), students excavated an intact Late Woodland component atop an ancient beach terrace overlooking Green Bay. Recovered remains were subjected to a broad based-analysis designed to elicit an event-oriented history from the site, reveal the life-ways of its inhabitants, and facilitate comparisons with archaeologically and ethnographically known peoples. The analysis differentiated eight small artifact clusters interpreted as temporary residential camps, transient field camps, and a hide processing-butchery station. These short-term occupations, occurring sporadically between AD 780 and 1460, extend the documented presence of Late Woodland peoples in the area by approximately 400 years. Pottery from the residential bases was dominated by a rarely reported and poorly defined combed variety, which we have tentatively labeled Runnoe ware. Preliminary comparison with other sites in the region suggests that Runnoe ware may reflect an archaeological manifestation geographically situated between Green Bay to the east and the Highland Lakes District to the west. The camp types identified at Runnoe Park may reflect alternating occupations by contemporaneous Late Woodland peoples, perhaps in competition for seasonally abundant resources along Green Bay. In this case, residential camps might represent interior-based local groups who maintained traditional lifeways along the coast during warm weather, while field camps could represent the satellites of larger regional fishing villages near the mouths of major tributaries. This could help to explain the wide range of Late Woodland and Oneota pottery found along the lower Menominee River, as opposed to less diverse ceramic assemblages seen along the upper portion of the drainage.

description: Medicinal plants as a folk medicine are used for the treatment of diabetes all over the world. The Present study investigated, the effects of some indigenous medicinal plants viz Olea europea, Azadirachta indica and Trigonella foenum-graecum in terms of their antidiabetic activity such as hypoglycemic effect and improvement of body weight gain in Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats and compared with that of a patent drug as Glibenclamide.The blood glucose lowering activity of these selected plants was studied in Streptozotocin (50mg/kg, i.p.) induced diabetic rat, following oral administration of Olea europea, Azadirachta indica and Trigonella • foenum-graecum at the dose rate of 1 gm/kg, 500mg/kg and 1 gm/kg body weight respectively. Blood glucose level and body weight gain were measured by Glucotrend Kit and Electric balance respectively and that compared with a patent drug Glibenclamide at dose rate of 800pg/kg body weight. The data were compared statistically by using Student's unpaired t-test. The herbal preparations of these plants significantly reduce blood glucose level in Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats and comparable with that of the standard drug, Glibenclamide.

description: We establish the emergence of a conformal field theory (CFT) in a (1+1)-dimensional hybrid quantum circuit right at the measurement-driven entanglement transition by revealing space-time conformal covariance of entanglement entropies and mutual information for various subregions at different circuit depths. While the evolution takes place in real time, the spacetime manifold of the circuit appears to host a Euclidean field theory with imaginary time. Throughout the paper we investigate Clifford circuits with several different boundary conditions by injecting physical qubits at the spatial and/or temporal boundaries, all giving consistent characterizations of the underlying "Clifford CFT." We emphasize (super)universal results that are consequences solely of the conformal invariance and do not depend crucially on the precise nature of the CFT. Among these are the infinite entangling speed as a consequence of measurement-induced quantum nonlocality and the critical purification dynamics of a mixed initial state.

description: The balance between stretching and bending deformations characterizes shape transitions of thin elastic sheets. While stretching dominates the mechanical response in tension, bending dominates in compression after an abrupt buckling transition. Recently, experimental results in suspended living epithelial monolayers have shown that, due to the asymmetry in surface stresses generated by molecular motors across the thickness $e$ of the epithelium, the free edges of such tissues spontaneously curl out-of-plane, stretching the sheet in-plane as a result. This suggests that a competition between bending and stretching sets the morphology of the tissue margin. In this study, we use the framework of non-euclidean plates to incorporate active pre-strain and spontaneous curvature to the theory of thin elastic shells. We show that, when the spontaneous curvature of the sheet scales like $1/e$, stretching and bending energies have the same scaling in the limit of a vanishingly small thickness and therefore both compete, in a way that is continuously altered by an external tension, to define the three-dimensional shape of the tissue.
Why are child care wages so low? An analysis of the effects of wage structure, aggregate low -wage labor supply, and labor market institutions on the distribution of child care wages

Year: 2023

description: Over the past three decades the child care industry has grown exponentially. This growth has largely been fueled by the increased labor force participation of women with young children. However, while the demand for child care has risen substantially, child care wages have not. Therefore, this dissertation set out to develop a theoretical framework, that could be implemented empirically, that could possibly explain why child care wages have remained low, particularly during the 1990s, when the wages of most workers were rising significantly, as a result of the booming economy. The key results of the analysis are: (1) Child care wages appears to have been depressed by the marked increase in aggregate low-wage labor over the past decade; (2) Labor market institutions appears to have a strong positive effect on child care wages; (3) Gender, however, seems to have had the most dramatic effect on the overall distribution of child care wages over the study period. Specifically, both the SIPP and CPS data suggest that if the average characteristics of female child care workers were paid according to the male wage structure, female child care workers' average wage would have been 30 percent higher than their actual (observed) average wage in the SIPP data and 35 percent higher than their observed average wage in the CPS data. Conversely, the data suggest that male child care workers' average wage would have been about 20 percent lower than their actual average wage if their average characteristics were paid according to the female wage structure.

description: Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) or multipole insulators, hosting peculiar corner states, were discovered [arXiv:1611.07987, arXiv:1708.03636]. It was independently discovered [arXiv:1702.00624] that continuum 5-dimensional (5D) Weyl semimetals generically host the corner states, and so do 4D class A and 3D class AIII topological insulators. In this paper we further confirm that the 5D Weyl semimetals, upon dimensional reduction, lead to universal higher-order topology. First we explain a discrete symmetry protecting the 5D Weyl semimetals, and describe dimensional reductions of the 5D Weyl semimetals to the popular HOTIs in the continuum limit. We calculate the topological charge carried by edge states of the 5D Weyl semimetal, for the most generic boundary condition. The topological charge is a Dirac monopole, which can also be seen from that edge Hamiltonians are always of the form of a 3D Weyl semimetal. This edge topology leads to the edge-of-edge states, or the corner states, generically, suggesting that the 5D Weyl semimetal is thought of as a physical structural origin of corner states in HOTIs. In addition, we explicitly calculate a nested Wilson loop of the 5D Weyl semimetal and find that the topological structure is identical to that of a Wilson loop of a Dirac monopole.

description: Melissodes (Melissodes) communis Cresson, 1878
[Lectotype: ANSP; ♀ Georgia, USA]
Melissodes communis is broadly distributed across North America. On the BCP, it was first collected in the Lower Colorado Desert in San Francisquito Bay and in the Gulf Coast in Isla Angel de la Guarda and La Paz in June 1921 (Cockerell 1923). No additional records of this species within the peninsula have been documented since then. See fig. 110.

description: Seasonal dynamics of helminth parasites affecting indigenous ducks and the effects of parasites on Production performance under semi scavenging conditions were studied. To study the seasonal dynamics ducks were collected from different areas of Mymensingh district and subjected to routine Post-mortem examination for the collection of helminth parasites. A total of 300 ducks were examined of which 295 (98.33%) were positive for one/more species of helminth parasites. Thirty-one species of helminth parasites were identified, among them 16 species belonged to .trematodes, 8 species belonged to cestodes, 5 species belonged to nematodes, and 2 species belonged to acanthocephala. Relatively higher prevalence was recorded in rainy season (100%) followed by summer (98.10%) and winter (97.99%). In case of trematodes and acanthocephala,.the infection rate was the highest in rainy season (100% and 28.26%) followed by winter (89.93% and 7.38%) and summer (83.80% and 4.76% respectively). But in case of cestodes and nematodes first peak was observed in rainy season (67.39% and 47.83%) followed by summer (59.80% and 20.95%) and winter (42.95% and 17.45% respectively). The mean density of trematodes (21.93±2.05), cestodes (79.84±4.19), nematodes (6.82±1.13) and acanthocephala (52.08±2.59) was also the highest during rainy season. However, these variations were not statistically significant. On the other hand, this study revealed that the helminth parasitic infection greatly hampered the body weight gains and egg production. The mean body weight in the anthelmintic treated group was 1496.00±20.80 gm but in the untreated control group it was 1182.00±34.17 gm which was significant at 1% level. Besides, the onset of egg production was 32 days earlier in the treated group. The ducks of the treated group laid more eggs, 9.75 eggs /bird in contrast to 5.55 eggs/ bird in control group. The highest egg production was 55% in the treated group while in the untreated group it was 30%. The mean egg production per month in the treated group was 54.33±34.51 and in untreated group 37.00±31.19, which was significant at 5% level Moreover the birds of the treated group also laid relatively larger eggs. The mean weight of eggs of the treated group was 63.24±1.44 gm but that of untreated group was 55.60±1,50 gm.
