description: This study concerns the absolute LA ICP-MS U-Pb dating of hydrothermal cementation, particularly in tectonically controlled fractures filling saddle dolomites and blocky calcites in the carbonate succession of Bekhme Formation (Campanian–Maastrichtian). Dating of multiphase hydrothermal cementation combined with δ18O and δ13C analyses, petrography and field observations shows two major episodes of hydrothermal fluid circulation. The first was measured at ~73.8 Ma and is associated with the Zagros folding-faulting tectonic event (Late Cretaceous) and with the depositional age of the Bekhme Formation (75.1 Ma), and the second was at 30.3 Ma and is associated with the second folding-faulting tectonic event during the Tertiary. The δ18O and δ13C values grouped into two populations corroborate the two episodes of hydrothermal fluid flow. Late Cretaceous folding and faulting tectonics and reactivation during the Tertiary in the study area provided conduits for the hydrothermal fluids along deeply seated faults. This work shows for the first time through U-Pb dating that the hydrothermal diagenetic processes in Upper Cretaceous Bekhme Formation are directly linked with the timings of the major regional tectonics in the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt (ZFTB) through the flow of hot fluid fluxes in a fractured sedimentary basin.

description: As hybrids of narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies and blazars, γ-ray emitting NLS1s are important probes of jet physics in the high Eddington-ratio regime. Only very few of them are known to date; the majority of them below redshift z = 0.5. Here we present the identification of the γ-ray emitting AGN TXS 0943+105 (SDSS J094635.06+101706.1) as a high-redshift NLS1 galaxy. It turns out to be one of the radio-loudest NLS1s known, highly variable at all wavelengths, and shows widely extended radio emission at a (projected) > 100 kpc scale. It is a known strong γ-ray emitter with a luminous flare reported previously. At redshift z=1.004, this is the most distant γ-NLS1 known to date.

description: We show, both experimentally and theoretically, that a slave laser injected with an optical frequency comb can undergo two distinct locking mechanisms, both of which decrease the output optical comb's frequency spacing. We report that, for certain detuning and relative injection strengths, slave laser relaxation oscillations can become undamped and lock to rational frequencies of the optical comb spacing, creating extra comb tones by nonlinear dynamics of the injected laser. We also study the frequency locking of the slave laser in between the injected comb lines, which add the slave laser's frequency to the comb. Our results demonstrate the effect of the alpha parameter, stability of the locked states, and indicate how the frequency of the relaxation oscillations affect both of these locking mechanisms. These optical locking mechanisms can be applied to regenerate or multiply optical combs.

description: Agricultural activities have been identified as major contributors to the non-point pollution of the Chesapeake Bay. Low-input agricultural practices are being considered to reduce pollution in areas adjoining the Chesapeake Bay. A multiperiod mathematical programming model was used to examine the potential adoption of low-input practices and to assess the environmental consequences of these activities under different policies. The results of these analyses indicate that tradeoffs exist among the types of non-point pollution produced under each policy. Only policies that retired productive agricultural land reduced all pollutant types.

description: Activity tracking apps often make use of goals as one of their core motivational tools. There are two critical components to this tool: setting a goal, and subsequently achieving that goal. Despite its crucial role in how a number of prominent self-tracking apps function, there has been relatively little investigation of the goal-setting and achievement aspects of self-tracking apps. Here we explore this issue, investigating a particular goal setting and achievement process that is extensive, recorded, and crucial for both the app and its users' success: weight loss goals in MyFitnessPal. We present a large-scale study of 1.4 million users and weight loss goals, allowing for an unprecedented detailed view of how people set and achieve their goals. We find that, even for difficult long-term goals, behavior within the first 7 days predicts those who ultimately achieve their goals, that is, those who lose at least as much weight as they set out to, and those who do not. For instance, high amounts of early weight loss, which some researchers have classified as unsustainable, leads to higher goal achievement rates. We also show that early food intake, self-monitoring motivation, and attitude towards the goal are important factors. We then show that we can use our findings to predict goal achievement with an accuracy of 79% ROC AUC just 7 days after a goal is set. Finally, we discuss how our findings could inform steps to improve goal achievement in self-tracking apps.

description: Access to high-quality and continuous education is a fundamental right for all children, including those affected by conflict and protracted crises. Yet despite ongoing efforts, significant barriers to access, quality and continuity of education remain. In this paper, we apply a conceptual framework recently developed as part of the Education Research in Conflict and Protracted Crises (ERICC) project to carry out a systematic review of evidence about the state of education in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, where education delivery to conflict-affected Rohingya communities remains particularly challenging. Following an ERICC-informed analysis of 127 studies, we identify critical knowledge gaps in existing evidence: there is little to no evidence for what works; data on access, and on the quality and continuity of education are lacking; and few studies provide analysis at policy systems level. This is a significant concern since these gaps limit the ability of existing evidence to ensure that the new policy shift to the Myanmar curriculum delivers high-quality education in Cox’s Bazar. The implications of these findings provide national stakeholders, development agencies, and their partners with a comprehensive understanding of the analytical work taking place on the ground.

description: The vertical absolute fluxes of atmospheric muons and muon charge ratio have been measured precisely at different geomagnetic locations by using the BESS spectrometer. The observations had been performed at sea level (30 m above sea level) in Tsukuba, Japan, and at 360 m above sea level in Lynn Lake, Canada. The vertical cutoff rigidities in Tsukuba (36.2 N, 140.1 E) and in Lynn Lake (56.5 N, 101.0 W) are 11.4 GV and 0.4 GV, respectively. We have obtained vertical fluxes of positive and negative muons in a momentum range from 0.6 to 20 GeV/c with systematic errors less than 3 % in both measurements. By comparing the data collected at two different geomagnetic latitudes, we have seen an effect of cutoff rigidity. The dependence on the atmospheric pressure and temperature, and the solar modulation effect have been also clearly observed. We also clearly observed the decrease of charge ratio of muons at low momentum side with at higher cutoff rigidity region.

description: A recent analysis indicated that the direct financial cost of weeds to Australia’s winter grain sectorwas approximately $A1.2bn in 1998–1999. Costs of thismagnitude represent a large recurring productivity loss in an agricultural sector that is sufficient to impact significantly on regional economies.Using amulti-regional dynamic computable general equilibrium model, we simulate the general equilibrium effects of a hypothetical successful campaign to reduce the economic costs of weeds. We assume that an additional $50m of R&D spread over five years is targeted at reducing the additional costs and reduced yields arising from weeds in various broadacre crops. Following this R&D effort, one-tenth of the losses arising from weeds is temporarily eliminated, with a diminishing benefit in succeeding years. At the national level, there is a welfare increase of $700m in discounted net present value terms. The regions with relatively high concentrations of winter crops experience small temporary macroeconomic gains.

description: The ability to localize and track acoustic events is a fundamental prerequisite for equipping machines with the ability to be aware of and engage with humans in their surrounding environment. However, in realistic scenarios, audio signals are adversely affected by reverberation, noise, interference, and periods of speech inactivity. In dynamic scenarios, where the sources and microphone platforms may be moving, the signals are additionally affected by variations in the source-sensor geometries. In practice, approaches to sound source localization and tracking are often impeded by missing estimates of active sources, estimation errors, as well as false estimates. The aim of the LOCAlization and TrAcking (LOCATA) Challenge is an open-access framework for the objective evaluation and benchmarking of broad classes of algorithms for sound source localization and tracking. This article provides a review of relevant localization and tracking algorithms and, within the context of the existing literature, a detailed evaluation and dissemination of the LOCATA submissions. The evaluation highlights achievements in the field, open challenges, and identifies potential future directions.

description: Annual recruitment of the NewZealand longfin eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) hasdecreased by 75 per cent since significant levels of commercial fishing began in the early 1970s. This motivates application of a multiple-cohort bioeconomic model to a New Zealand longfin eel fishery to investigate its optimal management and ascertain the suitability of existing regulatory policy. The use of historical harvest to calculate total allowable catch is asserted to be unsustainable based on recovery dynamics. In addition, individual transferable quota systems are argued to be fundamentally flawed for the protection of longfin fisheries because of high-grading, low-surplus production and a current lack of effective stock-assessment procedures. Area closure and the spatial definition of harvest rights are attractive alternatives given the territoriality of longfins and high larval spillover. The importance of unfished reserves is reinforcedwhen significant uncertainties regarding population strength, harvest intensity and growth dynamics are considered. Restriction of exploitation to older cohorts in fished areas is demonstrated to maximise economic yield.

description: We study the evolution of the galaxy UV luminosity density as a function of redshift in the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N). We estimate the amount of energy absorbed by dust and hidden from optical observations by analyzing the HDF-N photometric data with the spectral energy distribution fitting method. According to our results, at redshifts 1 < z < 4.5, the global energy observed in the UV rest-frame at lambda=1500 A corresponds to only 7-11% of the stellar energy output, the rest of it being absorbed by dust and re-emitted in the far-IR. Our estimates of the comoving star formation rate density in the universe from the extinction-corrected UV emission are consistent with the recent results obtained with Submillimeter Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) at faint sub-millimeter flux levels.

description: Background: Population means of conventional cardiovascular biomarkers are known to differ between ethnic groups. In this study we performed detailed comparisons in the temporal pattern of these biomarkers between Caucasian and Chinese diabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: We studied differences in temporal changes of established cardiovascular biomarkers, including high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol, cardiac Troponin T (TnT), NT-proBNP and C-reactive protein (CRP), in 48 Chinese and 48 clinically matched Caucasian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were admitted for ACS. Blood samples were collected at regular time intervals during 30 days to 1 year after the index ACS. Results: In the >30 day post ACS period, mean serum levels of LDL (2.16 vs. 1.47 mmol/L; p-value <0.001), total cholesterol (4.08 vs. 3.11 mmol/L; p-value <0.001), TnT (11.0 vs. 7.76 ng/L; p-value 0.010) and CRP (2.0 vs. 0.78 mg/L; p-value <0.001) were systematically higher in Caucasian than in Chinese patients. HDL and NT-proBNP levels were similar. Conclusions: Our study showed clinically relevant differences in levels of established cardiovascular biomarkers between Caucasian and Chinese post ACS patients. Further cross-ethnic studies are warranted to determine secondary prevention treatment biomarker targets in specific populations.

description: Vertical integration theory has long suggested internal costs related to changes in incentives due to vertical integration, which means that vertical integration may lead to agency costs. In this work, we specify the notion of agency costs of vertical integration and extend Ang, Cole and Lin (2000)’s measurement of agency costs to provide an empirical assessment of these costs in the French wine industry. Our econometric analysis finds that the agency costs of vertical integration may reach 2% to 3% of sales. It also displayed an unexpected result: vertical integration implies less costs for cooperatives than for other firms, but provides a lower performance. This result deserves further investigations.

description: The X-ray nova XTE J1118+480 exhibited two outbursts in the early part of 2000. As detected by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), the first outburst began in early January and the second began in early March. Routine imaging of the northern sky by the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) shows the optical counterpart to XTE J1118+480 during both outbursts. These data include over 60 epochs from January to June 2000. A search of the ROTSE data archives reveal no previous optical outbursts of this source in selected data between April 1998 and January 2000. While the X-ray to optical flux ratio of XTE J1118+480 was low during both outbursts, we suggest that they were full X-ray novae and not mini-outbursts based on comparison with similar sources. The ROTSE measurements taken during the March 2000 outburst also indicate a rapid rise in the optical flux that preceded the X-ray emission measured by the RXTE by approximately 10 days. Using these results, we estimate a pre-outburst accretion disk inner truncation radius of 1.2 x 10^4 Schwarzschild radii.

description: True contact between randomly rough solids consists of myriad individual micro-junctions. While their total area controls the adhesive friction force of the interface, other macroscopic features, including viscoelastic friction, wear, stiffness and electric resistance, also strongly depend on the size and shape of individual micro-junctions. Here we show that, in rough elastomer contacts, the shape of micro-junctions significantly varies as a function of the shear force applied to the interface. This process leads to a growth of anisotropy of the overall contact interface, which saturates in macroscopic sliding regime. We show that smooth sphere/plane contacts have the same shear-induced anisotropic behaviour as individual micro-junctions, with a common scaling law over four orders of magnitude in initial area. We discuss the physical origin of the observations in the light of a fracture-based adhesive contact mechanics model, described in the companion article, which captures the smooth sphere/plane measurements. Our results shed light on a generic, overlooked source of anisotropy in rough elastic contacts, not taken into account in current rough contact mechanics models.

description: Background: Selective avoidance aims at sparing functional lung regions. Here, we preferentially direct radiation to irreversibly nonfunctional lung areas based on planning CT imaging to reduce functional lung damage. Materials and methods: For 12 stage I-IV NSCLC patients, 5 lung substructures were segmented on the planning CT, combining voxels Results: Segmented substructures were on average 477 cc, 1157 cc, 484 cc, 69 cc, and 123 cc (Level 1–5). AV plans could spare Level 3–5, e.g., mean dose decrease of 3.5 Gy (range 0.6 Gy; 6.0 Gy) for Level 5, p001. This significantly reduced the average lung mass with predicted ΔHU>20HU by 12.5 g (95% CI: 5.4–16.9) and 27.1 g (95% CI: 10.2–32.9) for a median and upper 10th percentile patient susceptibility for damage simulation, respectively. Conclusions: Lung damage avoidance based on CT density is feasible and easy to implement. A biomarker providing a reliable selection of patients with high susceptibility for lung damage will be crucial to show the clinical relevance of this avoidance planning strategy.

description: Models in which causation arises from higher level structures as well as from microdynamics may be relevant to unifying quantum theory with classical physics or general relativity. They also give a way of defining a form of panprotopsychist property dualism, in which consciousness and material physics causally affect one another. I describe toy models based on probabilistic cellular automata that illustrate possibilities and difficulties with these ideas.

The prospects of the food situation in the world: from the pessimistic standpoint

description: It may seem rather paradoxical that I was asked to speak on the world food problem from the pessimistic standpoint, when various people consider me to be of the optimistic group. In fact,there is no contradiction. I am optimistic as far as natural resources and the possibilities of techniques are concerned. I am pessimistic as far as human behaviour is concerned. Before going any further, one wonders about the real extent of the food problem in the world. Opinions vary in this respect. Certain experts accuse the FAO of voluntarily worsening the situation. I have recently read an article published in a very serious American review in which the author states that only seventy million people in the world are suffering from lack of food. We must not be too surprised to find such contradictory opinions. In fact, to appreciate the food situation of a country or of a certain group of people one has to compare consumptions which are not well known to needs which are no better known. The FAO evaluations often vary as well for the needs as for the appreciation of the food situation of some countries.
Phonon dispersion and electron-phonon interaction for YBa_2Cu_3O_7 from first-principles calculations

description: We present a first principles investigation of the lattice dynamics and electron-phonon coupling of the high-T_c superconductor YBa_2Cu_3O_7 within the framework of density functional perturbation theory using a mixed-basis pseudopotential method. The calculated phonon dispersion curves are in excellent agreement with Raman, infrared and neutron data. Calculation of the Eliashberg function alpha^2F leads to a small electron-phonon coupling lambda=0.27 in disagreement with earlier approximate treatments. Our calculations strongly support the view that conventional electron-phonon coupling is not an important contribution to superconductivity in high-T_c materials.

description: The rifting of oceanic plateaus is an important mechanism for initiating lithospheric break-up and subsequent seafloor spreading. In this study, we present the latest multichannel seismic data investigating the Caroline Ridge and provide one of the typical cases for initial oceanic plateau evolution. We reveal that a smooth basement reflector (R2), as the top of the lava flows, is subparallel to the sediments with horizontal seismic reflections over the surface of the Caroline Ridge. Thick layer-parallel lava flows beneath the R2 appear within the crust. Large seamounts in the Sorol Trough possess abundant saucer-shaped intracrustal reflectors, and the overlying sediments were destroyed by intrusive bodies. The overlying sedimentary sequences, basement, and thick lava flows on the Caroline Ridge flanks were faulted by opposing normal fault sets, and the eruptions of the seamounts deformed the strata. A widespread bright horizontal reflector (R1), as an unconformity inside the Caroline Ridge sediments, truncates the lower tilted sediment layers and is itself cut by normal faults in the flank strata. Furthermore, we propose that subaerial lava flows extended laterally from the hotspot magmatism localizing in the Sorol Trough and led to Caroline Ridge formation. The initial rifting of the Caroline Ridge occurred during the Early-Middle Miocene. Limited volcanoes concentrate only in the Sorol Trough due to the attenuated thermal effect. It is suggested that dome uplifting and far-field force could have jointly caused initial rifting process of the Caroline Ridge.
Trigonometry of 'complex Hermitian' type homogeneous symmetric spaces

description: This paper contains a thorough study of the trigonometry of the homogeneous symmetric spaces in the Cayley-Klein-Dickson family of spaces of 'complex Hermitian' type and rank-one. The complex Hermitian elliptic CP^N and hyperbolic CH^N spaces, their analogues with indefinite Hermitian metric and some non-compact symmetric spaces associated to SL(N+1,R) are the generic members in this family. The method encapsulates trigonometry for this whole family of spaces into a single "basic trigonometric group equation", and has 'universality' and '(self)-duality' as its distinctive traits. All previously known results on the trigonometry of CP^N and CH^N follow as particular cases of our general equations. The physical Quantum Space of States of any quantum system belongs, as the complex Hermitian space member, to this parametrised family; hence its trigonometry appears as a rather particular case of the equations we obtain.

description: Objective: With the aim of surmounting the severe hepatotoxicity induced by antituberculosis drug isoniazid (INH), a novel cocrystal of INH with hepatoprotective nutraceutical syringic acid (SYA), namely INH–SYA, was designed and prepared through cocrystallization strategy, which is an intriguing attempt to reduce the toxic side effects of INH. Significance: The study not only provides new thinking for inhibiting toxic side effects of drugs through cocrystallization strategy, but also opens a new pathway for the application of nutraceuticals in the pharmacy. Methods: INH and SYA were successfully crystallized into the same crystal lattice through combining volatilization with solvent assisted methods. The resulting cocrystal was structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results: The SCXRD analysis for the present cocrystal revealed that it has a 1:1 ratio of INH to SYA with two molecules INH homodimers and two SYA molecules, in which they are arranged alternately linked by hydrogen bonds to form a six molecules ring structure (R66(40)) in crystal. The systematic evaluation of the in vitro/in vivo suggested that, owing to the formation of cocrystal, the dissolution efficiency of SYA was increased 5.85-fold compared with that of coarse SYA, and the oral bioavailability of the cocrystal in rats was enhanced by 3.66 times. As a result, the present INH–SYA cocrystal almost removed INH induced serious hepatotoxicity, which was further demonstrated by the hepatotoxicity studies in rats. Conclusion: INH–SYA cocrystal could effectively reduce the hepatotoxicity of INH.
