description: We describe our implementation of a global-parameter optimizer and Square Root Information Filter (SRIF) into the asteroid-modelling software SHAPE. We compare the performance of our new optimizer with that of the existing sequential optimizer when operating on various forms of simulated data and actual asteroid radar data. In all cases, the new implementation performs substantially better than its predecessor: it converges faster, produces shape models that are more accurate, and solves for spin axis orientations more reliably. We discuss potential future changes to improve SHAPE's fitting speed and accuracy.

description: We show how studies relevant for mono-X searches at the LHC in simplified models featuring a dark matter candidate and an $s$-channel mediator can be performed within the MadGraph5_aMC@NLO framework. We focus on gluon-initiated loop-induced processes, mostly relevant to the case where the mediator couples preferentially to third generation quarks and in particular to the top quark. Our implementation allows us to study signatures at hadron colliders involving missing transverse energy plus jets or plus neutral bosons ($γ,Z,H$), possibly including the effects of extra radiation by multi-parton merging and matching to the parton shower.

description: The carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) such as graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are generally considered safe materials. However, recent studies indicate that they can pose risk for human health and living systems depending on their exposure route and dose. The diversity in their lateral and longitudinal sizes and shape increase their potential risk. Although several studies demonstrate that surface chemistry can alter the toxic behavior of nanomaterials, it is not clear for every type of NMs. In order to implement the Safe-by Design approach, in this study, the influence of surface chemistry of carbon-based nanomaterials on their cytotoxicity and genotoxicity is investigated. Two CNMs, GO and CNFs, are modified with glycine, a simplest amino acid, and glucose, a monosaccharide, and evaluated for their cytotoxicity and genotoxicity using cell lines, HSF (human skin fibroblast), RAW264.7 (macrophage) and BEAS-2B (human bronchial lung epithelial). It was found that surface chemistry was a significant factor determining the cellular response.

description: Actin and myosin assemble into a thin layer of a highly dynamic network underneath the membrane of eukaryotic cells. This network generates the forces that drive cell and tissue-scale morphogenetic processes. The effective material properties of this active network determine large-scale deformations and other morphogenetic events. For example,the characteristic time of stress relaxation (the Maxwell time)in the actomyosin sets the time scale of large-scale deformation of the cortex. Similarly, the characteristic length of stress propagation (the hydrodynamic length) sets the length scale of slow deformations, and a large hydrodynamic length is a prerequisite for long-ranged cortical flows. Here we introduce a method to determine physical parameters of the actomyosin cortical layer (in vivo). For this we investigate the relaxation dynamics of the cortex in response to laser ablation in the one-cell-stage {\it C. elegans} embryo and in the gastrulating zebrafish embryo. These responses can be interpreted using a coarse grained physical description of the cortex in terms of a two dimensional thin film of an active viscoelastic gel. To determine the Maxwell time, the hydrodynamic length and the ratio of active stress and per-area friction, we evaluated the response to laser ablation in two different ways: by quantifying flow and density fields as a function of space and time, and by determining the time evolution of the shape of the ablated region. Importantly, both methods provide best fit physical parameters that are in close agreement with each other and that are similar to previous estimates in the two systems. We provide an accurate and robust means for measuring physical parameters of the actomyosin cortical layer.It can be useful for investigations of actomyosin mechanics at the cellular-scale, but also for providing insights in the active mechanics processes that govern tissue-scale morphogenesis.

description: Objectives: The purpose is to assess the association between marital satisfaction and socioemotional development in children of women diagnosed with depression and participating in the Thinking Healthy Programme (THP). Methods: An unadjusted and adjusted multilinear regression analysis used to describe the association between marital satisfaction and socioemotional development in children for 565 mother-child dyads. Results: Multivariate analysis shows a statically significant increase in SCAS total score (β= 3.478; CI: -1.662 to 8.617; p=0.064), 'Obsessive Compulsive' Behavior (β=1.704; CI: 0.279 to 3.130; p=0.20), and 'Generalized Anxiety (β=2.527; CI: 0.349 to 4.705; p=0.023) for women reporting 'Moderate' marital satisfaction compared to women reporting 'Very Bad/Bad." Conclusions: Depression statistically increases total SCAS scores and improved marital satisfaction can reduce adverse socioemotional development in children, supporting need for future studies to focus on quality of marriage among depressed women.

description: Agnesia de Koninck, 1883 Australian Carboniferous species. Agnesia reticulata n.sp., from Swains Gully. Remarks. This is the first record of Agnesia in Australia. Agnesiaresembles Hesperiella in having a sinistrally coiled shell, with an inturned protoconch, and moderately wide umbilicus, but differs in having a reticulate ornamentation and the narrow, deep peculiar selenizone. The protoconch of Agnesia has not yet been observed, but because of the inward coiling, as seen in HesperieUa, it is assumed that Agnesia has a hyperstrophically coiled dextral shell.

description: We report the results of a direct imaging survey of A- and F-type main sequence stars searching for giant planets. A/F stars are often the targets of surveys, as they are thought to have more massive giant planets relative to solar-type stars. However, most imaging is only sensitive to orbital separations $>$30 AU, where it has been demonstrated that giant planets are rare. In this survey, we take advantage of the high-contrast capabilities of the Apodizing Phase Plate coronagraph on NACO at the Very Large Telescope. Combined with optimized principal component analysis post-processing, we are sensitive to planetary-mass companions (2 to 12 $M_{\rm Jup}$) at Solar System scales ($\leq$30 AU). We obtained data on 13 stars in L'-band and detected one new companion as part of this survey: an M$6.0\pm0.5$ dwarf companion around HD 984. We re-detect low-mass companions around HD 12894 and HD 20385, both reported shortly after the completion of this survey. We use Monte Carlo simulations to determine new constraints on the low-mass ($

description: Natural substances such as essential oils (EOs) are used to encapsulate fragrances or other active substances in several applications in cosmetics and food industry to protect sensitive ingredients against oxidative processes. However, the labile and volatile nature of EOs reduces their activity during application or storage. To overcome the problems associated with their use, their microencapsulation in silica capsules is investigated as a mean to control the fast release of their volatile constituents. In the study, the silica microcapsules with oil cores were obtained by employing a sol-gel method to oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion. In addition, SiO2 microcapsules are modified with methyl and amino groups to reduce toxicity. The effect of surface modification of SiO2 microcapsules on cell lines, HSF (human skin fibroblast), RAW264.7 (macrophage) and BEAS-2B (human bronchial lung epithelial) at increasing concentration (10, 50, 125, 250 µg/mL) and at increasing time points (2, 6, 24, 48 h) are examined using the WST-8 viability assay. It was found that SiO2 microcapsules caused dose and time dependent cytotoxicity on cells. Their surface modification significantly improved their toxic behavior and they showed no cytotoxicity at any dose and any time period. The study shows the importance of suitable surface chemistry and it is a critical parameter that can be implemented in Safe-by Design approach to mitigate adverse effects of engineered nanomaterials.

description: We study quenching dynamics of a one-dimensional transverse Ising chain with nearest neighbor antiferromagentic interactions in the presence of a longitudinal field which renders the model non-integrable. The dynamics of the spin chain is studied following a slow (characterized by a rate) or sudden quenches of the longitudinal field; the residual energy, as obtained numerically using a t-DMRG scheme, is found to satisfy analytically predicted scaling relations in both the cases. However, analyzing the temporal evolution of the Loschmidt overlap, we find different possibilities of the presence (or absence) of dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) manifested in the non-analyticities of the rate function. Even though the model is non-integrable, there are {periodic} occurrences of DPTs when the system is slowly ramped across the quantum critical point (QCP) as opposed to the ferromagnetic (FM) version of the model; this numerical finding is qualitatively explained by mapping the original model to an effective integrable spin model which is appropriate for describing such slow quenches. Furthermore, concerning the sudden quenches, our numerical results show that in some cases, DPTs can be present even when the spin chain is quenched within the same phase or even to the QCP while in some other situations they completely disappear even after quenching across the QCP. These observations lead us to the conclusion that it is the change in the nature of the ground state that determines the presence of DPTs following a sudden quench.

description: Accreting black holes produce powerful relativistic plasma jets which emit radiation across all observable wavelengths but the details of the initial acceleration and confinement of the jet are uncertain. We apply an innovative new model that allows us to determine key properties of the acceleration zone via multi-frequency observations. The central component of the model is a relativistic steady-state fluid flow, and the emission from physically distinct regions can be seen to contribute to different energy bands in the overall spectrum. By fitting with unprecedented accuracy to 42 simultaneous multiwavelength blazar spectra we are able to constrain the location of the brightest synchrotron emitting region, and show that there must be a linear relation between the jet power and the radius of the brightest region of the jet. We also find a correlation between the length of the accelerating region and the maximum bulk Lorentz factor of the jet and find evidence for a bimodal distribution of accretion rates in the blazar population. This allows us to put constraints on the basic dynamical and structural properties of blazar jets and to understand the underlying physical differences which result in the blazar sequence.

description: Birds in commercial agriculture are exposed to a range of different interventions during early life, amongst other beak trimming. The tip of the beak is removed to reduce the chance of damage when pecking at conspecifics. While beak trimming has been banned in most countries of the EU, several exemptions still exist. The handling itself and beak trimming causes acute stress and possibly pain and long-term negative consequences on behaviour, morphology, health and physiology, including production parameters. To investigate the short- and long-term effects of beak trimming, this systematic review will first compile the scientific literature on the different techniques (e.g., laser, hot blade and infrared) and the measured traits. Subsequently, the outcome measures will be analysed for effects of beak trimming to elucidate the consequences for the welfare of the birds. The summary of scientific knowledge facilitates the translation thereof into practice and the preparation of recommendations for the management of birds in agriculture.
Using Community Circles to Engage North Carolina Communities in Conversations about Poverty, Racism, and Food Insecurity: A SNAP-Ed Program Plan

Year: 2017

description: In order to develop a network of engaged community members to increase food security in their communities, discussion must be initiated within the community about poverty, racism, and food insecurity. Dialogue-to-change programs can assist people from a variety of backgrounds with examining the gaps among racial and ethnic groups where they live, exploring approaches to creating greater equity, and creating lasting change in their community. The mission of the Community Circles Program is to mitigate the effects of poverty and racism on food security by understanding a community as a system and the role residents can play in enhancing a healthy environment, economic security, and social inclusion. Community Circles serve a social capital bridging function by offering individuals a way to see the full context of their community and visualize themselves as interconnected members of that larger community. Community Circles will consist of a diverse group of 8-12 SNAP-eligible residents in Orange, Warren, Lenoir, Rockingham, Sampson and Duplin counties. Groups will meet together for five, two-hour sessions to discuss the impact of poverty, racism, and food insecurity and the various actions they could take to solve these problems in their community. In the final session, participants decide on Action Ideas that best fit their community. The program’s goal is to mitigate the effects of poverty and racism on food insecurity by providing SNAP-eligible residents the opportunity to discuss important community issues, build social capital, and develop sustainable solutions that enhance long-term food access, economic security, and social inclusion in their community.

description: The Supergravity model named No-Scale ${\cal F}$-$SU(5)$, which is based upon the flipped $SU$(5) Grand Unified Theory (GUT) with additional TeV-scale vector-like flippon multiplets, has been partially probed during the LHC Run 1 at 7-8 TeV, though the majority of its model space remains viable and should be accessible by the 13-14 TeV LHC during Run 2. The model framework possesses the rather unique capacity to provide a light CP-even Higgs boson mass in the favored 124-126 GeV window while simultaneously retaining a testably light supersymmetry (SUSY) spectrum. We summarize the outlook for No-Scale ${\cal F}$-$SU(5)$ at the 13-14 TeV LHC and review a promising methodology for the discrimination of its long-chain cascade decay signature. We further show that proportional dependence of all model scales upon the unified gaugino mass $M_{1/2}$ minimizes electroweak fine-tuning, allowing the $Z$-boson mass $M_Z$ to be expressed as an explicit function of $M_{1/2}$, $M_Z^2 = M_Z^2 (M_{1/2}^2)$, with implicit dependence upon a dimensionless ratio $c$ of the supersymmetric Higgs mixing parameter $μ$ and $M_{1/2}$. Finally, we elucidate an empirical connection between recent scalar tensor measurements and No-Scale Supergravity cosmological models that mimic the Starobinsky model of inflation.

Year: 2017

description: ABSTRACT Breastfeeding is an important health behavior and intervention with benefits for both mother and baby. Risk of overweight, obesity, and diabetes mellitus is increased in those not breastfed as compared to those who are breastfed.1 American Indians have high rates of diabetes and obesity and low rates of breastfeeding initiation and duration. Federally recognized tribes receive benefits and health services through the Indian Health Services while non-federally recognized tribes must rely on health and social services that may not cater to their specific needs. Methods: Breastfeeding resources were mapped by counties of tribal residence in NC to determine geographic accessibility. WIC Breastfeeding Coordinators in relevant counties were interviewed as key informants on available resources, and American Indian use and response to services. Results: The Eastern Band of Cherokee has the most comprehensive services directly targeting enrolled members of the tribe. The Cherokee and Lumbee Tribes have access to American Indian peer counselors in their local WIC offices. The Occaneechi Band of Sapponi are the closest geographically to the plethora of resources that saturate Orange County. The majority of breastfeeding coordinators in counties with tribal territory are not familiar with the tribe in their area. Conclusions: More research is needed. WIC data could be analyzed for breastfeeding initiation rates of each tribe. Interviews could be conducted with tribal members on what kind of support they would like to see. Racial equity training may be beneficial for all breastfeeding support staff.

description: The present article reviews selected key challenges regarding food security from both an academic and policy-oriented angle. In the analysis of the main constraints to achieve food access and availability in low and high-income societies, a detailed distinction is made between technological and institutional aspects. In the case of low-income economies, the emphasis is placed on the socio-economic situation and performance of small-scale farmers while in high-income economies the focus is shifted towards issues of price volatility, market stability and food waste. In both scenarios, productivity and efficiency in the use of resources are also considered. The objective of this assessment is to identify the type of policy support which would be most suitable to fulfil the increasing food demand. Innovation programmes and policies which inte- grate institutional coordination and technical support are put forward as strategic tools in the achievement of food security goals at regional and global level.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία επιδιώκει να αποτυπώσει τα σχολικά βιώματα μίας ομάδας τρανς νέων. Ειδικότερα, εκκινώντας από την πρόσληψη του φύλου ως μία επιτελεστική και ταυτόχρονα συγκροτητική κατηγορία, επιχειρείται μία εις βάθος διερεύνηση της τρανς σχολικής εμπειρίας, με στόχο να αναδειχθούν οι τρόποι με τους οποίους οι μαθητές και μαθήτριες, των οποίων η ταυτότητα φύλου διαφοροποιείται από το καταγεγραμμένο ανατομικό τους φύλο, πλοηγούνται σε ένα ετεροcisκανονικό σχολικό περιβάλλον και νοηματοδοτούν τον έμφυλο εαυτό τους εντός αυτού. Η σημαντικότητα της παρούσας μελέτης έγκειται στην απουσία αντίστοιχων ερευνητικών εγχειρημάτων στον ελλαδικό χώρο. Δεδομένου δε ότι η τρανς νεολαία θεωρείται διεθνώς ως η πλέον ευάλωτη κατηγορία νέων, μία εξέταση των τρόπων με τους οποίους η ομάδα αυτή βίωσε και αξιοδοτεί την ελληνική εκπαιδευτική πραγματικότητα κρίνεται θεμιτή. Ως βασικός ερευνητικός στόχος τίθεται η διερεύνηση του τρόπου με τον οποίο βιώθηκε και επέδρασε το σχολικό περιβάλλον σε μία ομάδα τρανς νέων, μέσω της αναμόχλευσης και ανάδειξης των σχολικών εμπειριών αυτών. Προς την επίτευξη του ανωτέρου ερευνητικού σκοπού επιλέχθηκε η αξιοποίηση της ποιοτικής ερευνητικής μεθοδολογίας και της ημιδομημένης συνέντευξης ως ερευνητικό εργαλείο. Το ερευνητικό δείγμα απαρτίζεται από επτά τρανς άτομα, των οποίων η ηλικία κυμαίνεται από 20-24 έτη και ειδικότερα 4 τρανς γυναίκες και 3 τρανς άντρες. Συνολικά από τις συνεντεύξεις αναδύθηκε το αρνητικό σχολικό κλίμα που βίωσαν οι συνεντευξιαζόμενοι/ες, καθώς και η δυσμενής επίδραση αυτού στην έμφυλη υποκειμενικοποίηση και ενσωμάτωση, στην ενδοσχολική αλληλεπίδραση, στον ψυχισμό και στην σχολική επίδοση αυτών. Παράλληλα, στην πορεία των συνεντεύξεων αναδείχθηκε ποικιλοτρόπως ο ρυθμιστικός χαρακτήρας του φύλου, ο οποίος αφενός συγκροτείται, φυσικοποιείται και αναπαράγεται από τον σχολικό θεσμό και αφετέρου επιβάλλεται σε όλα τα ανεξαιρέτως τα μέλη της σχολικής κοινότητας. Με βάση τόσο τα συμπεράσματα που προέκυψαν από την παρούσα μελέτη όσο και τα δεδομένα της υπάρχουσας σχετικής βιβλιογραφίας παρατίθενται στο τέλος της εργασίας μία σειρά παιδαγωγικών προτάσεων, καθώς και ερευνητικών προοπτικών, με στόχο την περαιτέρω εμβάθυνση της γνώσης επί του θέματος και την ενδεχόμενη μετουσίωση αυτής σε μελλοντικές παιδαγωγικές πολιτικές.

Quantum nonlinear Hall effect induced by Berry curvature dipole in time-reversal invariant materials

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is well-known that a non-vanishing Hall conductivity requires time-reversal symmetry breaking. However, in this work, we demonstrate that a Hall-like transverse current can occur in second-order response to an external electric field in a wide class of time-reversal invariant and inversion breaking materials, at both zero and twice the optical frequency. This nonlinear Hall effect has a quantum origin arising from the dipole moment of the Berry curvature in momentum space, which generates a net anomalous velocity when the system is in a current-carrying state. We show that the nonlinear Hall coefficient is a rank-two pseudo-tensor, whose form is determined by point group symmetry. We discus optimal conditions to observe this effect and propose candidate two- and three-dimensional materials, including topological crystalline insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides and Weyl semimetals.

Positive Mathematical Programming Approaches – Recent Developments in Literature and Applied Modelling
Creators: name: Heckelei, Thomas

Publisher: name: Bio-based and Applied Economics
Year: 2012

description: This paper reviews and discusses the more recent literature and application of Positive Mathematical Programming in the context of agricultural supply models. Specifically, advances in the empirical foundation of parameter specifications as well as the economic rationalisation of PMP models – both criticized in earlier reviews – are investigated. Moreover, the paper provides an overview on a larger set of models with regular/repeated policy application that apply variants of PMP. Results show that most applications today avoid arbitrary parameter specifications and rely on exogenous information on supply responses to calibrate model parameters. However, only few approaches use multiple observations to estimate parameters, which is likely due to the still considerable technical challenges associated with it. Equally, we found only limited reflection on the behavioral or technological assumptions that could rationalise the PMP model structure while still keeping the model’s advantages.

description: The nonlinear magneto-plasmonics aims to utilize plasmonic excitations to control the mechanisms and taylor the efficiencies of the non-linear light frequency conversion at the nanoscale. We investigate the mechanisms of magnetic second harmonic generation in hybrid gold-cobalt-silver multilayer structures, which support propagating surface plasmon polaritons at both fundamental and second harmonic frequencies. Using magneto-optical spectroscopy in Kretschmann geometry, we show that the huge magneto-optical modulation of the second harmonic intensity is dominated by the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons at the second harmonic frequency, as shown by tuning the optical wavelength over the spectral region of strong plasmonic dispersion. Our proof-of-principle experiment highlights bright prospects of nonlinear magneto-plasmonics and contributes to the general understanding of the nonlinear optics of magnetic surfaces and interfaces.

Association of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Current Modern Contraceptive Use in Nigeria: A Secondary Data Analysis of the Nigerian Demographic Health Survey (DHS) VI 2013

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Objective: To characterize the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and current modern contraceptive use among married or partnered women in Nigeria. Methods: Nigeria Demographic Health Survey VI data collected in 2013 were used. The sample was restricted to women who were married or partnered at the time of the survey and had existing data entries for all questions of interest. Of the 38,948 total female DHS VI respondents, 20,625 remained in the final sample (52.96%). Descriptive bivariate analysis was done to estimate prevalence of five confounders: rural/urban residence, polygamous marriage, woman's education, women's age, and partner's education. Finally, the association between IPV and current modern contraceptive use was modeled using multivariate logistic regression, controlling for confounders. Results: Women who had reported experiences of IPV were found to have 1.37 (95% CI, 1.25-1.50) the odds of currently utilizing modern contraceptives, controlling for the other variables. Rural residence nearly halved the odds of currently using modern contraceptives (OR: 0.58, 95% CI 0.53-0.63). Being in a polygamous marriage did not have a statistically significant effect on the use of modern contraceptives when IPV was involved. The most important predictor of current modern contraceptive use was a woman's educational attainment, with secondary and postsecondary education significantly increasing odds of use (OR: 5.64, 95% CI 4.76-6.68 and 6.40, 95% CI 5.23-7.82). Partner's educational attainment more than doubled the odds of contraceptive use by 2.58 (95% CI, 2.14-3.10) and 2.61 (95% CI, 2.13-3.19) times for those with secondary and post-secondary education, respectively. Younger age was the greatest predictor of lower contraceptive use; women ages 15-24 had one-third the odds and women ages 25-34 had two-thirds the odds of contraceptive use as women ages 35-49, (OR: 0.33, 95% CI 0.29-0.38 and 0.63, 95% CI 0.57-0.69, respectively). Conclusions: This study adds to the mixed literature in Africa by demonstrating increased contraceptive use by women who experience IPV. Further research is warranted to determine the association among unmarried women, as well as to the psychosocial mechanisms by which IPV affects contraceptive use, especially in conflict zones. Keywords: Intimate partner violence, IPV, contraceptive use, Nigeria
The Experience Economy as the Future for European Agriculture and Food?

description: As recently as a century ago, one out of two people in Europe was employed in the agricultural sector. Today agriculture represents only a small fraction of total employment in most EU member states. What makes this decline in agricultural employment even more striking is that this evolution has occurred despite substantial EU subsidies to support farmers’ income. Given the apparent ineffectiveness of government support in keeping agricultural employment steady, it is worth considering which farming activities are likely to be successful in the economy of the 21st century. We argue in this paper that a potential growth path for European agriculture is the «experience economy» in which consumers are willing to pay premium prices for products and services that provide additional intangible ‘experiences’. We discuss the growth potential of the «experience economy» in the agricultural sector and conclude that it is worthwhile to consider the experience economy as a pathway for future farm growth.

Town of Strangers: The Performative ‘Making-of’ Film and the Production of Reality
Creators: name: O'brien, Treasa
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2018

description: This practice-based research project comprises two related components: a feature length film Town of Strangers (80 mins) and this written thesis (c. 50,000 words). The film Town of Strangers is an exploration of longing and belonging in the lives of several people with hybrid identities in the small Irish town of Gort, Co. Galway, who responded to a casting call in September 2015 by the filmmaker. This thesis text explicates the methodology and context for the film, which aims to explore documentary filmmaking as the production of reality rather than as observable truth. The research examines the place of the filmmaker, in relation to the subjects represented in the film. It searches for ways to respond to Lila Abu-Lughod’s call to make the lives of others less other (1991), and to Sara Ahmed’s concept of the stranger (2000). It presents the embedded research period as a literary ethnofiction in the first chapter, placing the author at the centre of the research in the third person. This is extended to the performance of the filmmaker as another character in the film, in the third person, and proposes that this construction is an expanded form of first person filmmaking. The thesis proposes the concept of the ‘performative making-of’ film as a primary generative form. It reflects on the discoveries made through the processes of scriptwriting, auditioning, storytelling, fabulation, ethnofiction and making-of methods. It frames the overall method as a form of reflexive lucid dreaming, in the dynamic between surrender and control, in both the shooting and the editing processes. The thesis and the film are framed as an encounter between filmmaker and subjects, filmmaker and the material, and between the filmmaker and herself.
