description: Let S be a Noetherian scheme, f:X->Y a surjective S-morphism of S-schemes, with X of finite type over S. We discuss what makes Y of finite type. First, we prove that if S is excellent, Y is reduced, and f is universally open, then Y is of finite type. We apply this to understand Fogarty's theorem in "Geometric quotients are algebraic schemes, Adv. Math. 48 (1983), 166--171" for the special case that the group scheme G is flat over the Noetherian base scheme S. Namely, we prove that if G is a flat S-group scheme of finite type acting on X and f is its strict orbit space, then Y is of finite type. Utilizing the technique used there, we also prove that Y is of finite type if f is flat. The same is true if S is excellent, f is proper, and Y is Noetherian.

description: Can we sense our location in an unfamiliar environment by taking a sublinear-size sample of our surroundings? Can we efficiently encrypt a message that only someone physically close to us can decrypt? To solve this kind of problems, we introduce and study a new type of hash functions for finding shifts in sublinear time. A function $h:\{0,1\}^n\to \mathbb{Z}_n$ is a $(d,\delta)$ {\em locality-preserving hash function for shifts} (LPHS) if: (1) $h$ can be computed by (adaptively) querying $d$ bits of its input, and (2) $\Pr [ h(x) \neq h(x \ll 1) + 1 ] \leq \delta$, where $x$ is random and $\ll 1$ denotes a cyclic shift by one bit to the left. We make the following contributions. * Near-optimal LPHS via Distributed Discrete Log: We establish a general two-way connection between LPHS and algorithms for distributed discrete logarithm in the generic group model. Using such an algorithm of Dinur et al. (Crypto 2018), we get LPHS with near-optimal error of $\delta=\tilde O(1/d^2)$. This gives an unusual example for the usefulness of group-based cryptography in a post-quantum world. We extend the positive result to non-cyclic and worst-case variants of LPHS. * Multidimensional LPHS: We obtain positive and negative results for a multidimensional extension of LPHS, making progress towards an optimal 2-dimensional LPHS. * Applications: We demonstrate the usefulness of LPHS by presenting cryptographic and algorithmic applications. In particular, we apply multidimensional LPHS to obtain an efficient "packed" implementation of homomorphic secret sharing and a sublinear-time implementation of location-sensitive encryption whose decryption requires a significantly overlapping view.

description: We investigate the weak Hopf algebras of Li based on $U_q[sl_n]$ and Sweedler's finite dimensional example. We give weak Hopf algebra isomorphisms between the weak generalisations of $U_q[sl_n]$ which are ``upgraded'' automorphisms of $U_q[sl_n]$ and hence give a classification of these structures as weak Hopf algebras. We also show how to decompose these examples into a direct sum which leads to unexpected isomorphisms between their algebraic structure.

description: The optical spectroscopic observations of ASASSN-18fv observed from 2018 March 24 to 2019 Jan 26 are presented. The optical spectra are obtained from Mirranook, Vainu Bappu and South African Astronomical observatories. The spectra are dominated by hydrogen Balmer, Fe II and O I lines with P-Cygni profiles in the early phase, typical of an Fe II class nova. The spectra show He I lines along with H I and O I emission lines in the decline phase placing the nova in the hybrid class of novae. The spectra show rapid development in high ionization lines in this phase. Analysis of the light curve indicate t$_2$ and t$_3$ values of about 50 and 70 days respectively placing the nova in the category of moderately fast nova. The ejecta geometry, inclination and position angle are estimated using morpho-kinematic analysis. The geometry of the ejecta is found to be an asymmetric bipolar structure with an inclination angle of about 53$^{\circ}$. The ejected mass using photo-ionization analysis is found to be 6.07 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$ M$_{\odot}$.

description: This paper proposes an automated segmentation method of infection and normal regions in the lung from CT volumes of COVID-19 patients. From December 2019, novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads over the world and giving significant impacts to our economic activities and daily lives. To diagnose the large number of infected patients, diagnosis assistance by computers is needed. Chest CT is effective for diagnosis of viral pneumonia including COVID-19. A quantitative analysis method of condition of the lung from CT volumes by computers is required for diagnosis assistance of COVID-19. This paper proposes an automated segmentation method of infection and normal regions in the lung from CT volumes using a COVID-19 segmentation fully convolutional network (FCN). In diagnosis of lung diseases including COVID-19, analysis of conditions of normal and infection regions in the lung is important. Our method recognizes and segments lung normal and infection regions in CT volumes. To segment infection regions that have various shapes and sizes, we introduced dense pooling connections and dilated convolutions in our FCN. We applied the proposed method to CT volumes of COVID-19 cases. From mild to severe cases of COVID-19, the proposed method correctly segmented normal and infection regions in the lung. Dice scores of normal and infection regions were 0.911 and 0.753, respectively.

description: For the first time in history, in 2015, a majority of governments across the globe came to a consensus on the way forward in relation to mitigation and adaptation to the effects of climate change. As a response to this, countries set out ambitious national targets towards achievement of the objectives of the Pars Agreement. However, there was no clear approach of how countries would achieve these ambitious targets especially for a country like Kenya which heavily depends on agriculture as a contributor of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The specific objective was to understand how the agricultural sector is dealing with the effects of climate change. The findings of the study indicated that Kenya has set an enabling environment through various policies and legislations that support climate change mitigation and adaptation actions. In addition, The results from the study indicated that Kenya has adopted a sector approach in dealing with matters of climate change and in particular, the agricultural sector has set various guidelines through various laws that promote Climate Smart Agriculture that can be applied in the various County Governments of the Country and for possible replication in other countries across the globe.

description: We propose a harmonic linear response (HLR) method to calculate the phonon dispersion relations of two-dimensional (2D) layers from equilibrium simulations at finite temperature. This HLR approach is based on the linear response of the system, as derived from the analysis of its centroid density in equilibrium path integral simulations. In the classical limit, this approach is closely related to those methods that study vibrational properties by the diagonalization of the covariance matrix of atomic fluctuations. The validity of the method is tested in the calculation of the phonon dispersion relations of a graphene monolayer, a graphene bilayer, and graphane. Anharmonic effects in the phonon dispersion relations of graphene are demonstrated by the calculation of the temperature dependence of the following observables: the kinetic energy of the carbon atoms, the vibrational frequency of the optical $E_{2g}$ mode, and the elastic moduli of the layer.

description: Issues relating to extensive air showers observation by a space-borne fluorescence detector and the effects of clouds on the observations are investigated using Monte Carlo simulation. The simulations assume the presence of clouds with varying altitudes and optical depths. Simulated events are reconstructed assuming a cloud-free atmosphere. While it is anticipated that auxiliary instruments, such as LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging), will be employed to measure the atmospheric conditions during actual observation, it is still possible that these instruments may fail to recognize the presence of a cloud in a particular shower observation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects on the reconstructed shower parameters in such cases. Reconstruction results are shown for both monocular and stereo detectors and for the two limiting cases of optically thin, and optically thick clouds.

description: This paper proposes a segmentation method of infection regions in the lung from CT volumes of COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 spread worldwide, causing many infected patients and deaths. CT image-based diagnosis of COVID-19 can provide quick and accurate diagnosis results. An automated segmentation method of infection regions in the lung provides a quantitative criterion for diagnosis. Previous methods employ whole 2D image or 3D volume-based processes. Infection regions have a considerable variation in their sizes. Such processes easily miss small infection regions. Patch-based process is effective for segmenting small targets. However, selecting the appropriate patch size is difficult in infection region segmentation. We utilize the scale uncertainty among various receptive field sizes of a segmentation FCN to obtain infection regions. The receptive field sizes can be defined as the patch size and the resolution of volumes where patches are clipped from. This paper proposes an infection segmentation network (ISNet) that performs patch-based segmentation and a scale uncertainty-aware prediction aggregation method that refines the segmentation result. We design ISNet to segment infection regions that have various intensity values. ISNet has multiple encoding paths to process patch volumes normalized by multiple intensity ranges. We collect prediction results generated by ISNets having various receptive field sizes. Scale uncertainty among the prediction results is extracted by the prediction aggregation method. We use an aggregation FCN to generate a refined segmentation result considering scale uncertainty among the predictions. In our experiments using 199 chest CT volumes of COVID-19 cases, the prediction aggregation method improved the dice similarity score from 47.6% to 62.1%.

description: The purpose of this paper to empirically document the role and impact of agri-business development in the case of apple chains in China, and to investigate the role that the provision of services and marketing plays in this impact. We compare some performance indicators, including yields and profits between farmers belonging to chains with and without dragon-head companies, i.e. companies which invested in various infrastructures, and provide services to farmers including extension services, storage and input provisioning. The data is based on a survey of 355 apple farmers in Shandong and Shaanxi provinces. Dragon-head companies have no significant impact on the yield and profit obtained by farmers, in contrast with belonging to a cooperative. They do not have a significant impact on training relative to cooperatives. They do not propose higher prices for farmers, even though farmers’ practices may be more eco-friendly and reduce the use of chemical pesticides. The conclusion is that the optimal conditions for agri-business development to be conducive to economic development as shown by the literature do not seem to be gathered in the apple sector of China.

description: We examine a one-dimensional nonlinear (Kerr) waveguide array which contains a single "void" waveguide where the nonlinearity is identically zero. We uncover a new family of nonlinear localized modes centered at or near the void, and their stability properties. Unlike a usual impurity problem, here the void acts like a repulsive impurity causing the center of the simplest mode to lie to the side of the void's position. We also compute the stability of extended nonlinear modes showing significant differences from the usual homogeneous nonlinear array. The transmission of a nonlinear pulse across the void shows three main regimes, transmission, reflection and trapping at the void's position, and we identify a critical momentum for the pulse below (above) where the pulse gets reflected (transmitted), or trapped indefinitely at the void's position. For relatively wide pulses, we observe a steep increase from a regime of no transmission to a regime of high transmission, as the amplitude of the soliton increases beyond a critical wavevector value. Finally, we consider the transmission of an extended nonlinear wave across the void impurity numerically, finding a rather complex structure of the transmission as a function of wavevector, with the creation of more and more transmission gaps as nonlinearity increases. The overall transmittance decreases and disappears eventually, where the boundaries separating passing from non-passing regions are complex and fractal-like.

description: Detailed information on the location and size of crop area is essential for the assessment of agricultural production, food security and emissions resulting from land use change. Although, there exist several initiatives to produced spatially explicit crop distribution maps, these are generally too coarse for detailed country assessments, which require high resolution spatial maps. Using Malawi as a case-study and building on the Spatial Production Allocation Model (You et al. 2014), this paper presents an approach to produce high resolution crop distribution maps that incorporate all available information, including subnational agricultural statistics, crop specific land use information and national irrigation surveys.

description: We construct the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term in lattice gauge theory by using a Dirac operator which obeys the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. Topological properties of the WZW term known in the continuum are reproduced on the lattice as a consequence of a non-trivial topological structure of the space of admissible lattice gauge fields. In the course of this analysis, we observe that the gauge anomaly generally implies that there is no basis of a Weyl fermion which leads to a single-valued expectation value in the fermion sector. The lattice Witten term, which carries information of a gauge path along which the gauge anomaly is integrated, is separated from the WZW term and the multivaluedness of the Witten term is shown to be related to the homotopy group $π_{2n+1}(G)$. We also discuss the global $\SU(2)$ anomaly on the basis of the WZW term.

description: Economic simulation models typically assume ‘normal’ growing conditions in eliciting agricultural market projections, contain no explicit parameterization of climate extremes on the supply side, and confound multifarious sources of historical yield fluctuation in harvest-failure scenarios. In this paper we augment a partial equilibrium model of global agriculture with a recently developed compound indicator of agroclimatic stress. We perform a multi-scenario analysis where the most extreme temperature and soilmoisture anomalies of the last decades, both negative and positive, recur in the near future. Our results indicate that extreme agroclimatic conditions at the regional level may have significant impacts both on domestic and international wheat and maize markets.

description: Agriculture is the main economic activities in Africa. In Kenya, about 75% of the population comprise of smallholder farmers. Transforming smallholder farmers from subsistence farming to a commercial oriented farming has been at the centre of discussion. One of the pathways of this transformation is through commercialization. Most studies have addressed commercialization with respect to market participation with limited studies on value addition concept which is a strategy for enhancing commercialization. Various interventions from development bodies have been targeted towards promoting marketing of value added products in Kilifi County to enhance commercialization, hence improve household income. However, little information exists with regards to the effect of commercialization on household income. This study developed commercialization index which integrated both value addition and market participation. An endogenous switching regression model was fitted to determine the effect of commercialization on household income. Significant factors influencing cassava commercialization for Kilifi County were farm size (p<0.05), off-farm income (p<0.10), age (p<0.05) and distance to market (p<0.01). Similarly, off-farm income and remittances had significant impact on household income (p<0.01). Generally, farmers who undertook cassava commercialization enjoyed more income relative to those who did not

description: In the context of low vegetable commercialization rate, it is crucial to understand the role of the important factors in adoption of commercial vegetable farming. This will be critical in achieving the overall development goal of poverty reduction. Hence, this paper analyzed the personal, technical, and business factors important for the adoption based on the Nepal Vegetable Crop Survey 2009-10. A probit analysis is carried out. A caste/ethnicity is the critical factor hindering the adoption in Nepal. An awareness program to facilitate marketing of the vegetable produces produced by the socially disadvantaged caste/ethnic groups and targeting them in the intervention would be helpful in widening the rate of vegetable commercialization. Similarly, facilitation in the accessibility of technical factors, mainly technical assistance, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and improved seeds will be crucial in promoting the commercial vegetable farming. Such interventions can be introduced in the potential areas of the Hills and Tarai. Land consolidation might not be important. Rather, any program or policies to facilitate secure land-tenure would be crucial in promoting vegetable commercialization. Similarly, provision of the irrigation in the parcels where vegetable farming is taking place will be crucial. Hence, the identification of such areas will be very important.

description: This paper revisits the decades-old relative deprivation theory of migration. In contrast to the traditional view which portrays absolute income maximization as a driver of migration, we test whether relative deprivation induces migration in the context of sub-Saharan Africa. Taking advantage of the internationally comparable longitudinal data from integrated household and agriculture surveys from Tanzania, Ethiopia, Malawi, Nigeria, and Uganda, we use panel fixed effects to estimate the effects of relative deprivation on migration. We find that a household s migration decision is based not only on its wellbeing status but also on the relative position of the household in the wellbeing distribution of the local community. Results are robust to alternative specifications including pooled data across the five countries and the migration relative deprivation relationship is amplified in rural, agricultural, and male-headed households. Results imply a need to renew the discussion of relative deprivation as a cause of migration. Acknowledgement :

description: Sustainable intensification (SI) of agriculture covers a broad range of practices that in an optimal combination should contribute to environmental protection as well as to the economic viability of farming. Farmers are likely to make a simultaneous adoption decision on a utility maximising set of SI practices. The aim of this study is to (i) detect which SI practices are adopted, (ii) analyse the influence of farmers characteristics as well as farm attributes on the adoption decision and (iii) evaluate whether the selection of different SI practices is interdependent. We draw on farm survey data from 2017. We use a SI conceptual framework that assigns practices to four fields of action (FoA) from farm to landscape level and land use to structural optimisation. Using multivariate probit modelling, we assess the determinants of adopting SI within each FoA, controlling for possible correlation of the adoption of practices across FoA. Results indicate that most farmers apply SI practices in a combined portfolio. Farmers are more likely to apply field-level interventions than SI practices that require regional cooperation. Decisions show dependence on each other with a tendency for complementarities and path dependencies in SI adoption.

description: We propose a scheme to realize strong photon antibunching with lower photon nonlinearity in a photonic molecule consisting of two photonic cavities, one of which contains a quantum dot (QD). This strong photon antibunching is attributed to destructive quantum interference effect which suppresses the two-photon excitation of the cavity field. That g^2 (0)~10^(-4) can be achieved with modest QD-cavity coupling strength g=1.1k and cavity tunneling strength J=3k when the system is driven by single laser field. To further reduce the requisite tunneling and make the system tunable, two laser fields are applied to the system. The strong photon antibunching (g^2 (0)~10^(-3)) can be achieved with a relatively large intracavity photon number by optimizing the phase between two driving laser fields when J=0.9k. Moreover, the system shows a strong robustness of maintaining strong photon antibunching within a large parameter variation under the optimal phase condition. Our scheme provides a flexible and efficient method for solid state quantum single photon sources.

description: Chaotic dynamics of a nonlinear oscillator is considered in the semiclassical approximation. The Loschmidt echo is calculated for a time scale which is of the power law in semiclassical parameter. It is shown that an exponential decay of the Loschmidt echo is due to a Lyapunov exponent and it has a pure classical nature.

description: The wavelength and rate of the $5p-5s$ transition of W XIV - W XVI ions have been calculated by the relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) method with the implementation of Flexible Atomic code (FAC). A reasonable collisional-radiative model (CRM) has been constructed to simulate the $5p - 5s$ transition spectrum of W XIV - W XVI ions which had been observed in electron beam ion trap (EBIT) device. The results are in reasonable agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data, and might be applied to identify the controversial spectra. The confusion on the assignment of the ionization stage are solved in the present work.
title: The effect of antidepressants on rodent brain glucocorticoid systems

Publisher: name: The Open University

description: The aetiology of depression and mechanisms of action of antidepressant drugs continue to be evasive. Evidence suggests that alterations in brain corticosteroid receptors may be a crucial factor in these events. Previous measurements of corticosteroid receptors (CR) and CR mRNA in animal tissues following stress and/or antidepressant administration have not attempted to measure CR in intact animals using different antidepressants, in various tissues or in putative animal models of stress.

The following investigations were aimed at quantifying CR and plasma corticosterone concentrations using radioligand binding and high performance liquid chromatography or radio-immunoassays, respectively. Behavioural investigations conducted in animal models of stress were extended to study the effects of antidepressants.

Antidepressant administration to intact animals had various effects. Cortical CR were increased after 14 days of DMI; paroxetine induced a reduction in cortical CR after 14 days; no changes were observed following venlafaxine for up to 28 days. There were no significant changes in CR binding parameters in the hippocampus, striatum or hypothalamus following antidepressant administration. CR in the thymus were reduced following paroxetine.

No significant effects of olfactory bulbectomy or antidepressant administration were observed on CR binding parameters. However, significant increases in locomotor activity were observed in bulbectomised rats, which were attenuated by chronic, antidepressant treatment.

In a putative stress model involving chronic exposure of mice to predator odour, no significant effects were observed on locomotor activity following predator exposure and/or antidepressant administration. Sucrose intake was decreased, representing a possible anhedonic response to chronic predator stress. Predator stress and/or antidepressant administration had no significant effects on cortical or hippocampal CR binding or plasma corticosterone concentrations.

The results of these investigations demonstrate that CR alterations observed in stress/depression are not reflected in the chosen animal models. CR changes following chronic antidepressant administration, though forming part of a biochemical cascade, are not likely to constitute a common mechanism of action for antidepressant drugs.

description: Exoplanet atmosphere characterisation has become an important tool in understanding exoplanet formation, evolution. However, clouds remain a key challenge for characterisation: upcoming space telescopes (e.g. JWST, ARIEL) and ground-based high-resolution spectrographs (e.g. CRIRES+) will produce data requiring detailed understanding of cloud formation and cloud effects. We aim to understand how the micro-porosity of cloud particles affects the cloud structure, particle size, and material composition. We examine the spectroscopic effects of micro-porous particles, the particle size distribution, and non-spherical cloud particles. We expanded our kinetic non-equilibrium cloud formation model and use a grid of prescribed 1D (T_gas-p_gas) DRIFT-PHOENIX profiles. We applied the effective medium theory and the Mie theory to model the spectroscopic properties of cloud particles with micro-porosity and a derived particle size distribution. We used a statistical distribution of hollow spheres to represent the effects of non-spherical cloud particles. Highly micro-porous cloud particles (90% vacuum) have a larger surface area, enabling efficient bulk growth higher in the atmosphere than for compact particles. Increases in single-scattering albedo and cross-sectional area for these mineral snowflakes cause the cloud deck to become optically thin only at a wavelength of ~100 ${\rm μm}$ instead of at the ~20 ${\rm μm}$ for compact cloud particles. A significant enhancement in albedo is also seen when cloud particles occur with a locally changing Gaussian size distribution. Non-spherical particles increase the opacity of silicate spectral features, which further increases the wavelength at which the clouds become optically thin. JWST MIRI will be sensitive to signatures of micro-porous and non-spherical cloud particles based on the wavelength at which clouds are optically thin.

description: Brazilian South and Southeast regions produced more than 50% of the Brazilian agricultural production in 2006. The Brazilian government has implemented several policies to enhance farm income on these regions such as policies towards enhancement of cooperatives production management. This directly affects farmers in these regions given that around 24% of them were members of cooperatives. In this paper, we estimate the effect of this membership on farms profitability, output supplies and input demands. To calculate these effects, we estimate a quadratic normalized restricted profit function using the Brazilian Agricultural Census of 2006 for the South and Southeast regions of Brazil. Preliminary results suggest a positive effect of cooperative membership on profit of about US$ 4.1 million per year. A positive effect of membership on output supplies and on input demand was found.
