description: In turbulent flows subject to strong background rotation, the advective mechanisms of turbulence are superseded by the propagation of inertial waves, as the effects of rotation become dominant. While this mechanism has been identified experimentally, the conditions of the transition between the two mechanisms are less clear. We tackle this question experimentally by tracking the turbulent front away from a solid wall where jets enter an otherwise quiescent fluid. Without background rotation, this apparatus generates a turbulent front whose displacement recovers the $z(t)\sim t^{1/2}$ law classically obtained with an oscillating grid and we further establish the scale-independence of the associated transport mechanism. When the apparatus is rotating at a constant velocity perpendicular to the wall where fluid is injected, not only does the turbulent front become mainly transported by inertial waves, but advection itself is suppressed because of the local deficit of momentum incurred by the propagation of these waves. Scale-by-scale analysis of the displacement of the turbulent front reveals that the transition between advection and propagation is local both in space and spectrally, and takes place when the Rossby number based on the considered scale is of unity, or equivalently, when the scale-dependent group velocity of inertial waves matched the local advection velocity.

description: Desde que fueron diseñados, los sistemas de televisión por cable han cubierto necesidades específicas de los usuarios. En un principio era el único método para que la gente en lugares remotos viera la televisión. Tiempo después se fueron agregando más canales a las redes de cable, hasta la incorporación de métodos de compresión digital de señales capaces de transportar varios canales digitales en el mismo ancho de banda de un canal analógico. Debido al gran ancho de banda de las redes de cable, en los últimos años se han incorporado servicios adicionales a la televisión, como lo son internet de banda ancha y enlaces de última milla para telefonía, entre otros. De esta manera, los sistemas de televisión por cable en México se han convertido en Redes Públicas de Telecomunicaciones capaces de proporcionar cualquier servicio que sea tecnológicamente posible ofrecer, dentro de las limitaciones del cable.

description: Infants born extremely preterm (<28 weeks gestational age (GA)) face a high risk of neonatal mortality. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common morbidity of prematurity. To evaluate the global incidence of BPD among infants born extremely preterm. A systematic review of the literature was conducted in Embase and MEDLINE (via PubMed) using a prespecified search strategy for BPD and prematurity. Observational studies published in English between 16 May 2006 and 16 October 2017 reporting on the occurrence of BPD in infants born <28 weeks GA were included. Literature searches yielded 103 eligible studies encompassing 37 publications from Europe, 38 publications from North America, two publications from Europe and North America, 19 publications from Asia, one publication from Asia and North America, six publications from Oceania, and zero publications from Africa or South America. The reported global incidence range of BPD was 10–89% (10–73% in Europe, 18–89% in North America, 18–82% in Asia, and 30–62% in Oceania). When only population-based observational studies that defined BPD as requiring supplemental oxygen at 36 weeks postmenstrual age were included, the global incidence range of BPD was 17–75%. The wide range of incidences reflected interstudy differences in GA (which was inversely related to BPD incidence), birthweight, and survival rates across populations and institutions. BPD is a common health morbidity occurring with extremely preterm birth. Further study of factors that impact incidence, aside from low GA, may help to elucidate modifiable risks.

description: Paramesodes iraniensis sp. nov. (Fig. 52)   Length: male 4.2–4.4mm (x 4 specimens)
Sordid yellow; vertex with a narrow dark brown submarginal band, thereafter to anterior margin pale yellow; fore wing veins margined with brown.
Male pygofer with dorsal margin narrowly rounded basally, in dorsal view (Fig. 52p); lateral process narrow, weakly and evenly curved from base to apex in lateral view, extending well beyond pygofer lobes. Aedeagus weakly curved dorsally in lateral view; dorsal (anterior) margin abruptly narrowing near midlength in lateral view (Fig. 52h).
 Type material examined. Holotype ♂, Iran: Minab, 22.ix.2002 (BMNH). Paratypes: 3 ♂, same data as holotype (BMNH).
 Remarks. In Wilson’s (1983) key the new species runs to couplet 7 but has characters in common with both halves of the couplet i.e. the pygofer dorsal margin is narrowly curved as in lineaticollis (first part of the couplet) and the aedeagal processes are without a distinct medial bend in lateral view (second part of the couplet). From lucaniae with a similar overall shaped aedeagus it differs in having the pygofer process shorter and less strongly curved dorsally and the aedeagus differs from all species in having the dorsal (anterior) margin abruptly narrowing near midlength in lateral view.

description: A new steroidal ester bearing n-nonadecanoyl moiety (1) and a mixture of isomeric cerebrosides (2) along with two known compounds were isolated from the methanol extract of the stem-bark of Anacardium occidentale. The structure of the new steroidal ester was determined as 3-n-nonadecanoyl-β-sitosterol on the basis of modern spectroscopic techniques (IR, ESI-MS, HR-ESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR) and chemical degradation studies. The structures of the known compounds were identified as gallic acid and tanacetene by comparison of the spectroscopic data with those of reported data. The mixture of cerebrosides was confirmed based on the analysis of 1D and 2D NMR. These compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines A549, SCOV3 and rat normal cell line NRK49f.

description: To deal with the multi-scale nature of the quench propagation problem in superconducting magnets, this work presents a quasi-three-dimensional (Q3D) approach combining a two-dimensional finite-element method (FEM) in the transversal cross-section of the magnet for resolving the geometrical details, with a one-dimensional spectral-element method based on orthogonal polynomials in longitudinal direction for accurately and efficiently representing the quench phenomena. The Q3D formulation is elaborated and the idea is illustrated on a thermal benchmark problem. Finally, the method is validated against a conventional 3D simulation carried out by a commercial software. In terms of computational efficiency, it is shown that the proposed Q3D approach is superior to the conventional 3D FEM.

The interplay of supersymmetry and PT symmetry in quantum mechanics: a case study for the Scarf II potential
Creators: name: Levai, G.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Motivated by the duality of normalizable states and the presence of the quasi-parity quantum number q=+/-1 in PT symmetric (non-Hermitian) quantum mechanical potential models, the relation of PT symmetry and supersymmetry (SUSY) is studied. As an illustrative example the PT invariant version of the Scarf II potential is presented, and it is shown that the "bosonic" Hamiltonian has two different "fermionic" SUSY partner Hamiltonians (potentials) generated from the ground-state solutions with q=1 and q=-1. It is shown that the "fermionic" potentials cease to be PT invariant when the PT symmetry of the "bosonic" potential is spontaneously broken. A modified PT symmetry inspired SUSY construction is also discussed, in which the SUSY charge operators contain the antilinear operator T. It is shown that in this scheme the "fermionic" Hamitonians are just the complex conjugate of the original "fermionic" Hamiltonians, and thus possess the same energy eigenvalues.

description: Non-perturbative QCD mechanisms are of fundamental importance in strong interaction physics. In particular, the flavor singlet axial anomaly leads to a gluonic pole mechanism which has been shown to explain the $η^{\prime}$ mass, violations of the OZI rule and more recently the proton spin. We show here that the interaction derived from the gluonic pole exchange explains the high momentum transfer behavior of the photoproduction cross sections of vector mesons at JLab energies.

description: Enoclerus spinolae (LeConte 1853), resurrected specific status
 Enoclerus spinolae (LeConte 1853: 230).
 This species, broadly distributed in the U.S. Southwest and extending into northern Mexico, was synonomyzed by Wolcott (1947: 78) under E. abdominalis (Chevrolat 1835: 52), a name that Barr (1976: 30) subsequently showed to be an invalid junior homonym. Barr (ibid.) established E. zonatus (Klug 1842: 297) as a replacement name, and treated E. spinolae as its junior synonym. Examination of the types of E. abdominalis, E. zonatus and E. spinolae, and dozens of specimens from a variety of locations, has led us to conclude that E. spinolae is a good species, separable from its species-group congeners based on its pattern of elytral markings and geographical distribution. The epithet spinolae, because it appeared to authors to represent a mistaken use of a feminine gender ending for a masculine patronymic, has been rendered in the literature most frequently as spinolai (or " spinolae (sic!)." However, as the ICZN makes clear in Article 31.1.1, a specific epithet may be formed from someone's name (irrespective of their gender) by accepting it as a Latin name, and then treating it in accordance with the rules of Latin grammar. This, it seems clear, is exactly what LeConte did when constructing his patronymic honoring entomologist Massimiliano Spinola. In any case, the ICZN states explicitly that incorrect latinization (Article 32.5.1) is not to be considered an "inadvertent error," and cannot be used to justify an exception to the rule of preservation of correct original spelling (Article 32.3). In short, LeConte's spelling must stand.

description: We present a detailed study of cosmological effects of homogeneous tachyon matter coexisting with non-relativistic matter and radiation, concentrating on the inverse square potential and the exponential potential for the tachyonic scalar field. A distinguishing feature of these models (compared to other cosmological models) is that the matter density parameter and the density parameter for tachyons remain comparable even in the matter dominated phase. For the exponential potential, the solutions have an accelerating phase, followed by a phase with a(t) ~ t^{2/3} as t goes to infinity. This eliminates the future event horizon present in LCDM models and is an attractive feature from the string theory perspective. A comparison with supernova Ia data shows that for both the potentials there exists a range of models in which the universe undergoes an accelerated expansion at low redshifts and are also consistent with requirements of structure formation. They do require fine tuning of parameters but not any more than in the case of LCDM or quintessence models.

Universality class of nonequilibrium phase transitions with infinitely many-absorbing-states

description: We consider systems whose steady-states exhibit a nonequilibrium phase transition from an active state to one -among an infinite number- absorbing state, as some control parameter is varied across a threshold value. The pair contact process, stochastic fixed-energy sandpiles, activated random walks and many other cellular automata or reaction-diffusion processes are covered by our analysis. We argue that the upper critical dimension below which anomalous fluctuation driven scaling appears is d_c=6, in contrast to a widespread belief (see Dickman cond-mat 0110043 for an overview). We provide the exponents governing the critical behavior close to or at the transition point to first order in a 6-d expansion.

description: The lack of formulation of macroscopic equations for irreversible dynamics of viscous heat-conducting media compatible with the causality principle of Einstein's Special Relativity and the Euler-Lagrange structure of General Relativity is a long-lasting problem. In this paper, we propose a possible solution to this problem in the framework of SHTC equations. The approach does not rely on postulates of equilibrium irreversible thermodynamics but treats irreversible processes from the non-equilibrium point of view. Thus, each transfer process is characterized by a characteristic velocity of perturbation propagation in the non-equilibrium state, as well as by an intrinsic time/length scale of the dissipative dynamics. The resulting system of governing equations is formulated as a first-order system of hyperbolic equations with relaxation-type irreversible terms. Via a formal asymptotic analysis, we demonstrate that classical transport coefficients such as the viscosity and heat conductivity are recovered in leading terms of our theory as effective transport coefficients. Some numerical examples are presented in order to demonstrate the viability of the approach.

description: Women empowerment could be the key to unlocking women’s productivity potential in Africa. Women’s contribution to the agricultural sector is greatly influenced by their health status. This paper examines the impact of women’s empowerment in agriculture on women’s health and the implications for the African food and agricultural sector. It utilizes a unique dataset from a 2012 survey of 2,405 women in northern Ghana and the Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes modeling approach. Findings provide insight on how gender-sensitive policies and private-public initiatives can translate into better health outcomes for women and improved capacity to meet future needs of food and agriculture in Africa. Initiatives focusing on increasing women’s membership in social and economic groups, easing women’s access to credit, and increasing women’s incomes are some key empowerment strategies for improving women’s health status and production capabilities.

description: We study rapidly rotating turbulent flows in a highly elongated domain using an asymptotic expansion at simultaneously low Rossby number $Ro\ll 1$ and large domain height compared to the energy injection scale, $h=H/\ell_{in}\gg 1$. We solve the resulting equations using an extensive set of direct numerical simulations for different parameter regimes. As the parameter $λ= (h Ro)^{-1}$ is increased beyond a threshold $λ_c$, a transition is observed from a state without an inverse energy cascade to a state with an inverse energy cascade. } For large Reynolds number and large horizontal box size, we provide evidence for criticality of the transition in terms of the large-scale energy dissipation rate.

We find three classes of solutions, corresponding to the following representations of SL(2): (1) degenerate, finite dimensional representations with half integer spin, (2) principal continuous series, (3) principal discrete series. We solve the bootstrap equations for the vacuum wave functions and discuss the corresponding open string spectrum. We argue that from the point of view of the AdS/CFT correspondence, the above D-branes introduce boundaries with conformal boundary conditions into the two dimensional spacetime. Open string vertex operators correspond to boundary perturbations. We also comment on the geometric interpretation of the branes.

description: Background: Over investigation and overuse of empirical antibiotics is a concern in management of neonatal early onset sepsis (EOS) using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. “Sepsis calculator” is a risk-based prediction model for managing neonates at risk of EOS. Objective: To compare outcomes of neonatal EOS using of sepsis calculator versus conventional approach. Methods: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCT) and non-RCTs reporting on outcomes after implementation of sepsis calculator for EOS for neonates >34-week gestation was conducted using the Cochrane methodology. Databases PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Central library and Google Scholar were searched in May 2019. Primary outcomes were antibiotics usage and laboratory tests for managing EOS. Secondary outcomes included hospital admissions and readmissions, blood culture positive EOS and mortality. The level of evidence (LOE) was summarized using the GRADE guidelines. Results: A total of 387 articles were retrieved after initial search. Six high quality non-RCTs fulfilled inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis (random effects model) showed that implementation of sepsis calculator was associated with reduced antibiotic usage [N = 172,385; OR = 0.22 (0.14–0.36); p I2) = 97%, Number needed to treat (NNT): 22], laboratory tests [N = 168,432; OR = 0.14 (0.08–0.27); p I2 = 99%, NNT = 8], and admissions to neonatal unit [N = 16,628; OR = 0.24 (0.11–0.51); p = .0002; I2 = 98%, NNT = 7]; LOE: moderate. There was no difference in mortality, culture positive EOS, and readmissions. Conclusion: Moderate quality evidence indicates that the implementation of a sepsis calculator was associated with reduced usage of antibiotics, laboratory tests and admission to neonatal unit with no increase in mortality and readmissions.

description: Experiments and simulations show that when an initially defect free rigid crystal is subjected to deformation at a constant rate, irreversible plastic flow commences at the so-called {\em yield point}. The yield point is a weak function of the deformation rate, which is usually expressed as a power law with an extremely small non-universal exponent. We re-analyze a representative set of published data on nanometer sized, mostly defect free, Cu, Ni and Au crystals in the light of a recently proposed theory of yielding based on nucleation of stable stress-free regions inside the metastable rigid solid. The single relation derived here, which is {\em not} a power law, explains data covering {\em fifteen} orders of magnitude in time scales.

description: What is the effect of a change in geographic location on the behavior of campaign donors? Looking at people who move presents a unique opportunity to assess the ways in which political behavior is altered by external circumstances. Holding the individual constant and observing how donation patterns vary under different external conditions allows us to explore donor behaviors in ways that are more difficult when using cross-sectional data. We use the DIME dataset to compare the donation behavior of over 7,000 individuals in the U.S. House election before and after they have moved. We observe the ways in which changes in the partisanship of the districts that they live in alter the share of their donations that go to each party. We find that the partisan composition of the districts that people arrive in influence their donation behavior – a move to a more Democratic district tends to increase the share of one’s donations that go to Democrats. We conclude by discussing what these findings can tell us about the partisan and strategic motivations of campaign donors.

description: PAON4 is an L-band (1250-1500 MHz) small interferometer operating in transit mode deployed at the Nançay observatory in France, designed as a prototype instrument for Intensity Mapping. It features four 5~meter diameter dishes in a compact triangular configuration, with a total geometric collecting area of $\sim75 \mathrm{m^2}$, and equipped with dual polarization receivers. A total of 36 visibilities are computed from the 8 independent RF signals by the software correlator over the full 250~MHz RF band. The array operates in transit mode, with the dishes pointed toward a fixed declination, while the sky drifts across the instrument. Sky maps for each frequency channel are then reconstructed by combining the time-dependent visibilities from the different baselines observed at different declinations. This paper presents an overview of the PAON4 instrument design and goals, as a prototype for dish arrays to map the Large Scale Structure in radio, using intensity mapping of the atomic hydrogen $21~\mathrm{cm}$ line. We operated PAON4 over several years and use data from observations in different periods to assess the array performance. We present preliminary analysis of a large fraction of this data and discuss crucial issues for this type of instrument, such as the calibration strategy, instrument response stability, and noise behaviour.

description: We consider five dimensional theories compactified on the orbifold S^1/Z_2 and prove that spontaneous local supersymmetry breaking by Wilson lines and by the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism are equivalent. Wilson breaking is triggered by the SU(2)_R symmetry which is gauged in off-shell N=2 supergravity by auxiliary fields. The super-Higgs mechanism disposes of the would-be Goldstinos which are absorbed by the gravitinos to become massive. The breaking survives in the flat limit, where we decouple all gravitational interactions, and the theory becomes softly broken global supersymmetry.

description: The dynamical mass of galaxies and the Newtonian acceleration generated from the baryons have been found to be strongly correlated. This correlation is known as 'Mass-Discrepancy Acceleration Relation' (MDAR). Further investigations have revealed a tighter relation - 'Radial Acceleration Relation' (RAR) - between the observed total acceleration and the (Newtonian) acceleration produced by the baryons. So far modified gravity theories have remained more successful than $Λ$CDM to explain these relations. However, a recent investigation has pointed out that, when RAR is expressed as a difference between the observed acceleration and the expected Newtonian acceleration due to baryons (which has been called the 'Halo acceleration relation or HAR'), it provides a stronger test for modified gravity theories and dark matter hypothesis. Extending our previous work \citep{kt2018}, we present a case study of modified gravity theories, in particular Weyl conformal gravity and Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), using recent inferred acceleration data for the Milky Way. We investigate how well these theories of gravity and the RAR scaling law can explain the current observation.

description: Competition for available resources is natural amongst coexisting species, and the fittest contenders dominate over the rest in evolution. The dynamics of this selection is studied using a simple linear model. It has similarities to features of quantum computation, in particular conservation laws leading to destructive interference. Compared to an altruistic scenario, competition introduces instability and eliminates the weaker species in a finite time.

description: La televisión digital es, finalmente, una realidad, y la competencia entre los dos principales estándares que dan cabida a esta tecnología han propiciado la formación de dos diferentes vertientes en la implementación de este servicio. El estándar americano normado por la ATSC (cuyas siglas en ingles se refieren al Comité de Sistema de Televisión Avanzada) representa la primera de estas dos vertientes tecnológicas. Además de adoptarse como una norma en los Estado Unidos y Canadá, también otros países como Corea del Sur y Taiwán han optado por emplear al estándar ATSC como el medio de distribución de señales de televisión digital. Por su parte, México ha sido considerado por los Estados Unidos como uno de los principales aliado en la adopción de este estándar. Sin embargo, la alternativa que ofrece el frente europeo, adoptado en diferentes países de la Unión Europea, Australia y recientemente Brasil, aparece como una extraordinaria opción que, para muchos, es más robusta que la propuesta americana.

description: The so-called ultraviolet (UV) upturn of elliptical galaxies is a phenomenon characterised by the up-rise of their fluxes in bluer wavelengths, typically in the 1,200-2,500A range. This work aims at estimating the rate of occurrence of the UV upturn over the entire red-sequence population of galaxies that show significant UV emission. This assessment is made considering it as function of three parameters: redshift, stellar mass, and -- what may seem counter-intuitive at first -- emission-line classification. We built a multiwavelength spectro-photometric catalogue from the Galaxy Mass Assembly survey, together with aperture-matched data from Galaxy Evolution Explorer Medium-Depth Imaging Survey (MIS) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey, covering the redshift range between 0.06 and 0.40. From this sample, we analyse the UV emission among UV bright galaxies, by selecting those that occupy the red-sequence locus in the (NUV-r) x (FUV-NUV) chart; then, we stratify the sample by their emission-line classes. To that end, we make use of emission-line diagnostic diagrams, focusing the analysis in retired/passive lineless galaxies. Then, a Bayesian logistic model was built to simultaneously deal with the effects of all galaxy properties (including emission-line classification or lack thereof). The main results show that retired/passive systems host an up-rise in the fraction of UV upturn or redshifts between 0.06 and 0.25, followed by an in-fall up to 0.35. Additionally, we show that the fraction of UV upturn hosts rises with increasing stellar mass.

description: This paper measures impacts of production of crops, forestry, livestock and aquaculture on household welfare, poverty and inequality in rural Vietnam using fixed-effects regressions. Data used in this paper are from Vietnam Household Living Standard Surveys 2002 and 2004. It is found that impact estimates of the production of crops and forestry on per capita income and consumption expenditure are not statistically significant. Impact estimates of the livestock production are positive and statistically significant for per capita income, but not statistically significant for per capita expenditure. However, the aquacultural production has positive and statistically significant impacts on both income and expenditure. As a result, the aquacultural production helps the producing households reduce the poverty incidence by 4.3 percentage points. It also decreases the poverty gap and poverty severity indexes of the producing households by around 13 percent and 15 percent, respectively. The aquacultural production also reduces the rural expenditure inequality, albeit at an extremely small magnitude.

description: While conventional farming systems face serious problems of sustainability, organic agriculture is seen as a more environmentally friendly system since it favours renewable resources, recycles nutrients, uses the environment’s own systems for controlling pests and diseases, sustains ecosystems, protects soils, and reduces pollution. At the same time organic farming promotes animal welfare, the use of natural foodstuffs, product diversity and the avoidance of waste, among other practices. However, the future of organic agriculture will depend on its economic viability and on the determination shown by governments to protect these practices. This paper performs panel regressions with a sample of Catalan farms (Spain) to test the influence of organic farming on farm output, costs and incomes. It analyses the cost structures of both types of farming and comments on their social and environmental performance.

description: One new 4-chromanone glycoside, 5-O-β-d-glucopyranoside-4-chromanone (1), together with 21 known polyphenols, was isolated from the leaves of Malus hupehensis. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic methods including NMR (1D and 2D), mass (ESIMS and HRESIMS), IR, and by comparison with the data reported in the literature. Some of the isolated compounds were screened for antioxidant activity. Compounds 18 and 14 exhibited significant antioxidant activities with SC50 values 2.73 and 2.91 μg/mL, respectively, while 17, 19, 11, 7, 20, 22, 12 and 13 exhibited moderate activities with SC50 values ranging from 5.24–11.86 μg/mL. The HPLC fingerprint profiles of the leaves and fruits extracts were also analysed, which showed that the constituents were almost the same in both the extracts except for the content of phlorizin which was present in higher amount in the leaves.

description: This paper uses the principal-agent theory to analytically investigate the optimal incentive-based compensation contract that a processor should offer to a grower performing efforts in quantity and quality. In this process, we contribute to the substantive literature on multi-task principal-agent models by analyzing the quality-quantity trade-off and studying the implications of such a relationship in the principal-agent framework. One striking result of these effects is that, under appropriate incentive-based grower’s compensation, the processor may encourage grower’s effort in quality without crowding out grower’s effort in quantity.
