description: Solanum violaceum Ortega is a perennial tropical shrub traditionally used as conventional medicine for the treatment of various ailments. The present study aims to validate the use of S. violaceum Ortega leaf (SVLE) and fruit extracts (SVFE) in traditional medicine through untargeted metabolomics and assessment of its biological and phytochemical properties. GC-MS-based untargeted metabolomics identified derivatives of 59 and 50 metabolites in SVLE and SVFE, respectively. The study authenticated the presence of several bioactive compounds including Diosgenin, n-Hexadecanoic acid and Stigmasterol in SVLE and Ricinoleic acid, 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid and Oleic acid in SVFE, thus corroborating the use of the plant in traditional medicine as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. Both SVFE and SVLE demonstrated potent antioxidant, protease and anticoagulant properties with partial inhibitory effects on the physiological function of Factor Xa. This study provides insight into the phytochemical and pharmacological properties of S. violaceum and its potential ethnomedicinal relevance.

description: The observed baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) cannot be explained by the known sources of charge-parity (CP)-violation in the Standard Model (SM). A non-zero permanent electric-dipole-moment (EDM) for fundamental particles, nuclei or atoms, violates CP. Measuring a non-zero EDM allows us to gain a handle on additional sources of CP-violation required to explain the observed BAU. The EDM of an atom with an octupole and quadrupole deformed nucleus is enhanced. Therefore, the search for such atoms has become important in the quest to measure an EDM. Viability of EDM searches in $^{225}$Ra atoms with a deformed nucleus have already been demonstrated. We have performed a comprehensive survey for possible EDM candidates from a list of octupole deformed nuclei predicted by various theoretical models. Our search of long-lived isotopes with nuclear deformations comparable to or better than $^{225}$Ra results in a handful of viable candidates for future atomic EDM experiments based out of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB): $^{221}$Rn, $^{221,223,227}$Fr, $^{221,223,225}$Ra, $^{223,225,227}$Ac, $^{229}$Th, and particularly $^{229}$Pa. Furthermore, nuclei of $^{223,225}$Rn, $^{225}$Fr and $^{226}$Ac are also highly quadrupole and octupole deformed, but their ground state parity doublet energy difference has not yet been measured.

Heat production from low permeability reservoirs is believed to be significantly aided by the presence of open natural fractures (e.g. Upper Rhine Graben). However, in hot sedimentary aquifer studies these structural features are rarely included when estimating their economic viability. Therefore, we present a case study which assesses the impact of natural fractures on heat extraction from the tight Main Buntsandstein Subgroup targeted by the recently drilled NLW-GT-01 well (West Netherlands Basin (WNB)). We integrate: 1) reservoir property characterisation using petrophysical-analysis and geostatistical-inversion, 2) image log- and core interpretation, 3) large-scale seismic fault extraction and characterisation, 4) Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) modelling and permeability upscaling, and 5) fluid-flow and temperature modelling. First, the results of the petrophysical analysis and geostatistical inversion indicate that the Triassic reservoir layers have almost no intrinsic porosity or permeability. Second, the image-log interpretation shows predominately NW-SE orientated fractures having log-normal length - and negative-power-law aperture behaviour, respectively. Third, the seismic fault analysis depicts pattern which is to be expected from the structural setting of WNB. Fourth, inspection of the reservoir scale 2D DFN’s and upscaled permeability models suggest that if open, natural fractures significantly enhance the effective permeability (up to 500 mD). Finally, the performed 2D fluid-flow/temperature simulations indicate that open natural fractures significantly increase in the geothermal heat extracted from the normally tight reservoir rock. However, while the presented results are positive, it should be noted that the prediction and characterisation of natural fractures in the sub-surface is a relatively uncertain process.

Power Law Distributions of Offspring and Generation Numbers in Branching Models of Earthquake Triggering

description: We consider a general stochastic branching process, which is relevant to earthquakes as well as to many other systems, and we study the distributions of the total number of offsprings (direct and indirect aftershocks in seismicity) and of the total number of generations before extinction. We apply our results to a branching model of triggered seismicity, the ETAS (epidemic-type aftershock sequence) model. The ETAS model assumes that each earthquake can trigger other earthquakes (``aftershocks''). An aftershock sequence results in this model from the cascade of aftershocks of each past earthquake. Due to the large fluctuations of the number of aftershocks triggered directly by any earthquake (``fertility''), there is a large variability of the total number of aftershocks from one sequence to another, for the same mainshock magnitude. We study the regime where the distribution of fertilities mu is characterized by a power law ~1/μ^(1+gamma). For earthquakes, we expect such a power-law distribution of fertilities with gamma = b/alpha based on the Gutenberg-Richter magnitude distribution ~10^(-bm) and on the increase ~10^(alpha m) of the number of aftershocks with the mainshock magnitude m. We derive the asymptotic distributions p_r(r) and p_g(g) of the total number r of offsprings and of the total number g of generations until extinction following a mainshock. In the regime γ<2 relevant for earhquakes, for which the distribution of fertilities has an infinite variance, we find p_r(r)~1/r^(1+1/gamma) and p_g(g)~1/g^(1+1/(gamma -1)). These predictions are checked by numerical simulations.

description: Search for stable high-pressure compounds in the Ti--H system reveals the existence of titanium hydrides with new stoichiometries, including Ibam-Ti$_2$H$_5$, I4/m-Ti$_5$H$_{13}$, I$\bar{4}$-Ti$_5$H$_{14}$, Fddd-TiH$_4$, Immm-Ti$_2$H$_{13}$, P$\bar{1}$-TiH$_{12}$, and C2/m-TiH$_{22}$. Our calculations predict I4/mmm $\rightarrow$ R$\bar{3}$m and I4/mmm $\rightarrow$ Cmma transitions in TiH and TiH$_2$, respectively. Phonons and the electron--phonon coupling of all searched titanium hydrides are analyzed at high pressure. It is found that Immm-Ti$_2$H$_{13}$ rather than the highest hydrogen content C2/m-TiH$_{22}$, exhibits the highest superconducting critical temperature T$_{c}$. The estimated T$_{c}$ of Immm-Ti$_2$H$_{13}$ and C2/m-TiH$_{22}$ are respectively 127.4--149.4 K ($μ^{*}$=0.1-0.15) at 350 GPa and 91.3--110.2 K at 250 GPa by numerically solving the Eliashberg equations. One of the effects of pressure on T$_{c}$ can be attributed to the softening and hardening of phonons with increasing pressure.

Natural stone is perhaps the most widely used building material in the history of human evolution, applied in a range of applications, from the most prestigious monuments of civilisations to humble shelters. Being a construction material of high quality produced be simply shaping rocks to more or less advanced elements, it is relevant to ask if this magnificent building material of the past also can play an important role in our low-carbon future. The presentation will focus on two main aspects: Comparing natural stone to other building materials. Natural stone is at present time used for cladding of floors and walls in buildings, but also for paving of streets and squares and structural elements in constructions. By comparing indicators of sustainability within the different uses, we may conclude that the use of natural stone, particularly when replacing concrete and other high-emission products, can contribute to increasing sustainability in the construction industries. Identifying key aspects for more sustainable natural stone production. Although natural stone may have important properties related to sustainability compared to other materials, there are needs for improvements in the production of stone for reducing environmental footprints. We have collected cases of best performance, within a selection of areas: zero waste, emissions and balanced land use management. Finally, the presentation will discuss how national and regional public authorities, the geological surveys, private consultants and the industry can collaborate for implementing a rational management of the natural stone resources and the extractive industry for the future benefit of humankind.

description: Models and tools for managing an enterprise technology portfolio are considered. It is shown that to solve problems of technology portfolio management it is possible and legitimate to use project management models and tools. It has been established that the methods used in practice for forming a portfolio of technologies consider projects as independent; ignoring connections leads to inadequacy of the model and incorrect management decisions. It is shown that the use of statistical methods is limited by the insufficient volume of statistics necessary to analyze the technology. It has been established that methods of the cognitive emulation group should be used. It is proposed to use an expert system at the stage of forming a portfolio of technologies.

description: In many medical image analysis applications, often only a limited amount of training data is available, which makes training of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) challenging. In this work on anatomical landmark localization, we propose a CNN architecture that learns to split the localization task into two simpler sub-problems, reducing the need for large training datasets. Our fully convolutional SpatialConfiguration-Net (SCN) dedicates one component to locally accurate but ambiguous candidate predictions, while the other component improves robustness to ambiguities by incorporating the spatial configuration of landmarks. In our experimental evaluation, we show that the proposed SCN outperforms related methods in terms of landmark localization error on size-limited datasets.

 The Middle-Late Ordovician transition is one of the most important periods of the environmental changes and biotic turnovers throughout the earth's history. Here, we used magnetic susceptibility as the paleoclimate proxy to conduct cyclostratigraphic analysis on the Zhenjin and Puxihe sections in Yichang, South China, to understand the astronomical forcing in the paleoclimate changes against a refined astro-chronostratigraphy. Spectra analyses of the magnetic susceptibility sequence shows that the ratios of different sedimentary cycles in Kunuitan, Miaopo and Pagoda formations, are consistent with those of Milankovitch cycles during the Mid-Late Ordovician. A ~7.94 Myr floating astronomical time scale (ATS) is constructed based on the 405 kyr long eccentricity cycles calibration, which indicates the durations of partial middle Darriwilian isotope carbon excursion (MDICE) and Guttenberg isotope carbon excursion (GICE) are ~460 kyr and ~700 kyr, respectively. High-precision continental correlation between Yichang area in South China and the Dawangou section in Tarim reveals that the duration of hiatus on the top of the Kunuitan Formation is ~2.87 Myr. Alignment of minimum of amplitude of obliquity and 405 kyr eccentricity may trigger the MDICE.

description: La complessa storia geologica dei Monti Ernici è direttamente collegata alle vicende della costituzione e del sollevamento della catena appenninica; infatti, pur se fanno parte dell'antiappennino laziale, geologicamente appartengono alla catena principale sia come struttura litologica che come andamento tettonico. Durante il Mesozoico, infatti, nella porzione del mare della Tetide più vicina alle coste africane iniziò l'opera di accumulo di sedimenti organici da cui si sarebbero originate nuove formazioni rocciose. Alghe, coralli, unitamente a bivalvi come le rudiste (tipiche dello stesso Mesozoico e dalla classica forma a cono) diverranno i più tipici esempi di organismi costruttori di quella che è chiamata per la sua estensione e collocazione "piattaforma carbonatica Laziale-Abruzzese".

description: The paper presents a critical analysis of the fisheries and aquaculture sector on the eve of a new reform anticipated by the Green Paper of 2009 and by the Commission Communication on the Reform of the Common Fishery Policy (CFP) of 2011. The paper uses the main statistical sources available to analyse the evolution of production and trade at worldwide, European and Italian level. The time series used covers the period from 1990 to 2009. Particular attention is devoted to the Ital- ian situation, evaluating the trade performance in Europe and also considering the evolution of the structural characteristics of the Italian fleet, catches and revenues by species, categories and different systems of fisheries. With a highly fragmented structure of its production capacity and a gradual decline in catches, in recent years, the fishing industry has seen a decline of about 20% in revenues. However, the fisheries sector continues to play an important role in Italy both in the maintenance of the social fabric and in terms of the conservation and enhancement of cultural identities. Finally, the paper develops a brief summary of legislative actions that have characterized the CFP until the recent reform proposal.

Insurance premiums are only weakly linked to mileage, however, and have lump-sum characteristics largely. The result is too much driving, and too many accidents. In this paper, we introduce some useful theoretical results for Pay-As-You-Drive in Automobile insurances. We consider a counting process and also find the distribution of discounted collective risk model when the counting process is non-homogeneous Poisson.

description: VRGeoscience Limited, United Kingdom

 The geological exposures of the Jurassic Coast of North East England cover a variety of depositional systems, from both continental and marine settings, and provide an excellent opportunity for field training. In this virtual field tour, we will visit several localities along the Yorkshire coast. Starting at Staithes we will look at the Middle Liassic Cleveland Ironstone Formation before proceeding south to Whitby for the alluvial sandstone of the Saltwick Formation. The exposures at Whitby comprise multi-storey sand bodies of fine- to medium-grained sandstone deposited in the hanging-wall of the Whitby fault and shows many different geological features at a variety of scales. After journeying south, travelling up stratigraphy and past the fractured mudstones of Saltwick Nab, we will arrive at the exposures of Long Nab, and the Long Nab Member of the Scalby Formation. Here we will see an exhumed meander plane, usually only visible at low tide, showing both planform and vertical sections. We will round off the excursion by travelling further south to Flamborough Head to look at the Late Cretaceous Chalks, with extensive faulting and fracturing, marl layers, stylolites and fault breccia. The data for this virtual fieldtrip is assembled from a variety of sources including photogrammetric models collected both by Drone/UAV and by handheld camera, and lidar derived digital elevation data. The field trip itself will be run using Virtual Reality Geological Studio (VRGS) from VRGeoscience Limited (www.vrgeoscience.com).

description: In this article the possible repercussions of the new bilateral trade agreement between Morocco and the European Union concerning the fruit and vegetable sector have been examined. Through appropriate mathematical indices, such as the “revealed comparative advantage” (RCA) approach pioneered by Balassa, the competitive position of Morocco over its trading partners in the EU and especially over the Mediterranean Member States has been evaluated. The aim is to discover fea- tures of trade of Morocco and the EU in the fruit and vegetable sector, and changes during the period 2000 - 2010. In particular, the effects of the new bilateral trade agreement on EU countries such as Italy, Spain and France, i.e., the traditional producers of these goods, have been examined. RCA of Morocco over the EU and RCA of the EU over Morocco have been calculated by conducting research using UN Comtrade sources. Moreover, through the “revealed trade advantage” (RTA) introduced by Vollrath, the global competitiveness of the fruit and vegetables sector in both Morocco and the EU have been evaluated.Finally, the degree of intra-industry trade between Morocco and the major European producers of fruit and vegetables has been calculated. The results highlight the strong dominance of Morocco, and point to the possibility that the new bilateral trade agreement may cause an increase in economic instability in many European areas struggling against Moroccan competition in certain agricultural sectors. In countering this situation, questions concerning agrifood safety, agri-environmental protection and other aspects could become relevant in the near future. The importance of these questions is that they may point to the comparatively low levels of restrictions often faced by the Moroccan producers as the real cause of their actual competitive advantage in some strategic European agri-food sectors. Despite the limitations of RCA indices obtained in this study, they are expected to offer further insight into the competitiveness of the Moroccan fruit and vegetables sector and its implications for trade with the EU in the near future.

description: Bioenergy is a vital component of the energy sector in Italy, contributing to the country’s commitment for reduction in green house gas emission and enhancing its self reliance on energy production. At the same time, however, there are risks that the bioenergy sector may generate negative impacts on the environment and society, if it is not properly managed. Sustainable accounting is one of the important instruments by which, through stakeholder pressure, responsible actions by organizations can be enforced. For this reason it is necessary to develop better sustainable accounting practices, to report and to address the concerns over the sustainability of the bioenergy sector in order to avoid detrimental results masked as renewable energy. In addressing the above needs, the aim of this research is to evalu- ate current sustainable accounting practices in the Italian Bioenergy sector and to construct a conceptual framework for enhanced sustainable accounting practices. This research begins with an analysis of a few small and medium Italian bioenergy enter- prises as regards their current accounting practices for sustainability using the content analysis method to identify the gaps in reporting. In this step, a considerable lack of reporting about the environmental and social impacts has been identified in a sample of small-and-medium-sized firms in the wood biomass sector. Based on the above findings, the study then develops a conceptual framework to fill the gap iden- tified, with due consideration of the practical limitations for the companies to adopt it. The basis of this framework is the regulatory framework of the European Union and sector-specific selective indicators have been proposed for use. This set of indicators, providing information on bioenergy’s sustainability impacts, will render a better picture of the company’s action for the stakeholders.

description: Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, is a widely studied polymer, which serves as a key constituent of nanostructured soft materials with responsive properties. Upon increasing temperature the PNIPAM polymer chain undergoes a reversible coil-to-globule transition at ~305K, which is reflected by a volume phase transition in cross-linked architectures, such as microgels, valuable for many practical applications. The addition of a cosolvent is a simple method to tune the transition temperature according to the specific purpose. In this study, we use atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to explore the solution behavior of a PNIPAM chain in a mixture of water and ethanol, acting as cosolvent, at low alcohol concentration. Our simulations reproduce the occurrence of the coil-to-globule transition of the polymer chain at 289 K, a temperature lower than that measured in water, in full agreement with experimental findings. By monitoring the temperature evolution of structural and dynamical properties of the PNIPAM-water-ethanol ternary system, we detect a localization of ethanol molecules at the polymer interface, mainly due to interactions between isopropyl and ethyl groups. We observe that the transition occurs without a release of adsorbed ethanol molecules, but with a loss of water molecules from the surrounding of PNIPAM hydrophobic moieties that favours the aggregation of ethanol molecules close to the polymer. Our results support the idea that both the decreased chemical potential of water in the bulk of the mixture and the competition between water and ethanol molecules in the interactions with the polymer play a driving role in the transition.

description: The splashback radius ($R_{\rm sp}$) of dark matter halos has recently been detected using weak gravitational lensing and cross-correlations with galaxies. However, different methods have been used to measure $R_{\rm sp}$ and to assess the significance of its detection. In this paper, we use simulations to study the precision and accuracy to which we can detect the splashback radius with 3D density, 3D subhalo, and weak lensing profiles. We study how well various methods and tracers recover $R_{\rm sp}$ by comparing it with the value measured directly from particle dynamics. We show that estimates of $R_{\rm sp}$ from density and subhalo profiles correspond to different percentiles of the underlying $R_{\rm sp}$ distribution of particle orbits. At low accretion rates, a second caustic appears and can bias results. Finally, we show that upcoming lensing surveys may be able to constrain the splashback-accretion rate relation directly.

description: he world is changing quickly and dramatically, bringing a range of challenges to European agriculture, including climate change, impact on the environment, pressures on natural resources, increasing competition and demographic changes. Therefore, Agricultural research(AR) is being asked to address issues that are both multi- and interdisciplinary: convergence of knowledge from different disciplines is important to achieve a better understanding of these complex and interlinked problems. The aim of this paper is to analyse the framework of European Agricultural Research activities (mechanisms, policies, strategies) and to reflect on how to further implement the Lisbon key concept of making EU the most dynamic and competitive knowledge based economy in the world. In this knowledge based economy, research and scientific innovation will be the drivers for human wellness and health and, therefore, research within agribusiness sector and nutrition will have an increasing role in this strategy. The remarks in the first section of the paper are the starting point for the analysis in the following sections and intend to summarize the present literature at European Community level. The statements expressed are compared with the current framework of agricultural research and supported by the investigation on the evolutionary process. On the basis of these premises, the present paper could be considered as a first contribution to the debate that could be developed at national and local level on themes related to the objectives of improving the European Agricultural Research System.

description: We directly image Tkachenko waves in a vortex lattice in a dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensate. The low (sub-Hz) resonant frequencies are a consequence of the small but nonvanishing elastic shear modulus of the vortex-filled superfluid. The frequencies are measured for rotation rates as high as 98% of the centrifugal limit for the harmonically confined gas. Agreement with a hydrodynamic theory worsens with increasing rotation rate, perhaps due to the increasing fraction of the volume displaced by the vortex cores. We also observe two low-lying m=0 longitudinal modes at about 20 times higher frequency.

description: The timelike geodesic equations resulting from the Kerr gravitational metric element are derived and solved exactly including the contribution from the cosmological constant. The geodesic equations are derived, by solving the Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation by separation of variables. The solutions can be applied in the investigation of the motion of a test particle in the Kerr and Kerr-(anti) de Sitter gravitational fields. In particular, we apply the exact solutions of the timelike geodesics i) to the precise calculation of dragging (Lense-Thirring effect) of a satellite's spherical polar orbit in the gravitational field of Earth assuming Kerr geometry, ii) assuming the galactic centre is a rotating black hole we calculate the precise dragging of a stellar polar orbit aroung the galactic centre for various values of the Kerr parameter including those supported by recent observations. The exact solution of non-spherical geodesics in Kerr geometry is obtained by using the transformation theory of elliptic functions. The exact solution of spherical polar geodesics with a nonzero cosmological constant can be expressed in terms of Abelian modular theta functions that solve the corresponding Jacobi's inversion problem.

description: Inclusive Monte-Carlo samples are indispensable for signal selection and background suppression in many high energy physics experiments. A clear knowledge of the physics processes involved in the samples, including the types of processes and the number of processes in each type, is a great help to investigating signals and backgrounds. To help analysts obtain the physics process information from the truth information of the samples, we develop a physics process analysis program, TopoAna, with C++, ROOT, and LaTeX. The program implements the functionalities of component analysis and signal identification with many kinds of fine, customizable classification and matching algorithms. It tags physics processes in individual events accurately in the output root files, and exports the physics process information at the sample level clearly to the output plain text, tex source, and pdf files. Independent of specific software frameworks, the program is applicable to many experiments. At present, it has come into use in three $e^+e^-$ colliding experiments: the BESIII, Belle, and Belle II experiments. The use of the program in other similar experiments is also prospective.

Shedding Light on the "Dark Side" of $B^0_d$--$\bar B^0_d$ Mixing through $B_d\toπ^+π^-$, $K\toπν\barν$ and $B_{d,s}\toμ^+μ^-$

description: In a wide class of NP models, which can be motivated through generic arguments and within SUSY, we obtain large contributions to $B^0_d$--$\bar B^0_d$ mixing, but not to $ΔB=1$ processes. If we assume such a scenario, the solutions $ϕ_d\sim 47^\circ\lor 133^\circ$ for the $B^0_d$--$\bar B^0_d$ mixing phase implied by $A_{CP}^{mix}(B_d\to J/ψK_S)$ cannot be converted directly into a constraint in the $ρ$--$η$ plane. However, we may complement $ϕ_d$ with $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|$ and the recently measured CP asymmetries in $B_d\toπ^+ π^-$ to determine the unitarity triangle, with its angles $α$, $β$ and $γ$. To this end, we have also to control penguin effects, which we do by means of the $B_d\toπ^\mp K^\pm$ branching ratio. Interestingly, the present data show a perfectly consistent picture not only for the ``standard'' solution of $ϕ_d\sim 47^\circ$, but also for $ϕ_d\sim 133^\circ$. In the latter case, the preferred region for the apex of the unitarity triangle is in the second quadrant, allowing us to accommodate conveniently $γ>90^\circ$, which is also favoured by other non-leptonic B decays such as $B\toπK$. Moreover, also the prediction for BR$(K^+\toπ^+ν\barν})$ can be brought to better agreement with experiment. Further strategies to explore this scenario with the help of $B_{d,s}\toμ^+μ^-$ decays are discussed as well.

description: The first results of an observational programme aimed at mapping a sample of face--on spiral galaxies in the NIR are presented. This paper shows the surface photometry of the first ten galaxies in the sample. The data were taken in the broad band $J$ (1.2 $μ$m) and $K_{s}$ (2.2 $μ$m) filters. The sources were selected mainly according to their size and brightness in order to suit the characteristics of the CAIN 2D NIR camera on the 1.5 m Carlos Sánchez Telescope (Tenerife, Spain). The primary scientific goal is to provide a comprehensive and uniform database of the main structural and photometric parameters of the sample members from NIR surface photometry. To this end, elliptical isophotal fitting was performed on each galaxy image to extract information about the size and location of its morphological components and provide the azimuthally averaged radial brightness profile. Analytical functions for each component's brightness distribution were then used to match that profile, and their functional parameters obtained from the global fitting. This first report includes data for NGC 3344, NGC 3686, NGC 3938, NGC 3953, NGC 4254, NGC 4303, NGC 4314, NGC 5248, NGC 6384 and NGC 7479.

description: The present study recommends the electrocoagulation (EC) technique as a possible-green option to the conventional process for the efficient removal of ibuprofen (IBU) from drinking water for the first time, investigating a thorough analysis by optimizing operational parameters and kinetics/isotherms models. Under the optimum conditions 63% of IBU was removed. The double-stage electrocoagulation resulted in the removal efficiency of 73.8%. The dynamic and equilibrium data followed first-order and Freundlich. The treatment cost of IBU removal by electrocoagulation would be 1.8 US $/m3. It is possible to consider the EC technique as the promising IBU removal method.
