description: Protein is of vital importance for the nutrition of animals and humans. A growing world population is dependent on the efficient supply of proteins. It is also dependent on sustainable production of proteins since environmental impacts associated with animal-based protein provision are widely perceived as surpassing ecological boundaries in the long run. Connecting this perception with consumer demand for regional products the study computes regional animal demand and feed crop supply of crude protein in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The results show that self-sufficiency of crude protein for livestock farming cannot be reached by increasing high-protein legume cultivation alone: either a third of pig- or cattle-livestock would have to be reduced. Alternatively, plant-based sources like sunflower proteins could serve as substitutes – these, however, do need further research in order to reach comparable functionality and market potential as soy products.
An exoplanet in orbit around tau^1 Gruis

description: We report the detection of a new candidate exoplanet around the metal-rich star tau^1 Gruis. With M sin $i$ = 1.23+/-0.18 M_JUP, a period of 1326+/-300 d and an orbit with an eccentricity of 0.14+/-0.14 it adds to the growing population of long period exoplanets with near-circular orbits. This population now comprises more than 20% of known exoplanets. When the companion to tau^1 Gruis is plotted together with all exoplanets found by the Anglo-Australian Planet Search and other radial velocity searches we find evidence for a peak in the number of short-period exoplanets, followed by a minimum of planets between around 7 and 50 days and then an apparent rise in the number of planets per unit radius that seems to set in by a hundred days, indicating more planets farther from the host star. This is very different from the gaussian-like period distribution found for stellar companions. This lends support to the idea that once a clearing in the inner protoplanetary disk develops, it halts the inward migration of planets. In particular, the smooth distribution of exoplanets arising from planetary migration through a disk is altered by an accumulation of exoplanets at the point where the disk has been cleared out.

description: We show that the Fraïssé limit of a category of unital separable $C^*$-algebras which is sufficiently closed under tensor products of its objects and morphisms is strongly self-absorbing, given that it has approximate inner half-flip. We use this connection between Fraïssé limits and strongly self-absorbing $C^*$-algebras to give a self-contained and rather elementary proof for the well known fact that the Jiang-Su algebra is strongly self-absorbing.

description: Abstract: Mendelian randomization (MR) is an epidemiological technique that uses genetic variants to distinguish correlation from causation in observational data. The reliability of a MR investigation depends on the validity of the genetic variants as instrumental variables (IVs). We develop the contamination mixture method, a method for MR with two modalities. First, it identifies groups of genetic variants with similar causal estimates, which may represent distinct mechanisms by which the risk factor influences the outcome. Second, it performs MR robustly and efficiently in the presence of invalid IVs. Compared to other robust methods, it has the lowest mean squared error across a range of realistic scenarios. The method identifies 11 variants associated with increased high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, decreased triglyceride levels, and decreased coronary heart disease risk that have the same directions of associations with various blood cell traits, suggesting a shared mechanism linking lipids and coronary heart disease risk mediated via platelet aggregation.

description: This study aims to discuss Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) in Brazil focusing on policies for agriculture and livestock defense. The main concepts and analytical tools were presented, and the Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) was highlighted as the most recommended by policy makers for RIA. To illustrate the application of this method in programs for agriculture defense, we discuss three case studies which were carried out in Brazil: Carambola fruit fly in Amapá State, Huanglongbing (greening) and citrus canker. The results show that the benefits surpassed the costs in these programs, particularly from the government point of view. Besides, when the analysis for citrus canker took into consideration the private costs, there were scenarios in which these costs were not offset by the economic benefits. Although the CBA allows identifying and comparing returns for different policy alternatives, the environmental and social aspects are usually poorly captured by this tool.

description: Community-based management (CBM) of village poultry aims to foster development and reduce poverty in Benin by disseminating five technologies for improving village poultry farming. We develop a theoretical model to analyze multiple technology adoption decisions that takes into account the interrelations between the technologies. Estimates from multivariate probit models indicate significant interrelations between the five adoption decisions. We show how the estimation results, and particularly the different types of marginal effects, can be utilized to deeply analyze the interrelations between adoption decisions. CBM successfully promoted the adoption of various technologies. Some adoption decisions indicate farmers’ general openness towards new technologies.

description: We provide evidence that the small-scale statistics of the acceleration of a test particle in high-Reynolds number Lagrangian turbulence is correctly described by Tsallis statistics with entropic index q=3/2. We present theoretical arguments why Tsallis statistics can naturally arise in Lagrangian turbulence and why at the smallest scales q=3/2 is relevant. A generalized Heisenberg-Yaglom formula is derived from the nonextensive model.

 Type locality. “  Rumelien” (Kraatz 1863). The Rumelia is a region of southern Bulgaria, between the Balkan and Rhodope Mts., but in the second half of the XIX century this name denoted the Balkan possessions of the Ottoman Empire, particularly Thrace and Macedonia (excluding Albania and Bosnia). According to the actual distribution of this species, the type locality can be restricted to the Bulgarian Rumelia.
 Type specimens. Not examined.
 Description. Male. Body metallic green with sparse and rather long yellowish setae; legs yellow with last four protarsomeres, meso- and metatarsomeres and metafemora dark; mouthparts, including maxillary palpi, and antennae yellow.
Head transverse with very shallow frontal calli and slightly protruding eyes. Maxillary palpi very simple, only palpomeres II and III slightly widened; II featuring a flattened narrow expansion on the internal side; IV elongate (Fig. 3U). Antennae very weakly modified with the antennomere I bearing a short and narrow dorsal keel; III at least twice length of II; IV and V slightly expanded on the ventral side, the IV with a rounded expansion on the ventral side; IX rounded dorsally and pointed ventrally (Fig. 2U).
Legs slender with protibiae very weakly modified, subcylindrical (Fig. 4U). Protarsomeres slightly dorso-ventrally flattened.
Gonostyli, in lateral view, slightly curved, with apical lobes dorsally directed; apical lobes, in dorsal view, swollen and slightly diverging. Apex of aedeagus rounded; aedeagal hooks subequal in size (the apical slightly larger). Sclerotised hooks of endophallus small and very close from each other, subequal in size (the apical slightly larger), the apical pointing outwards and the subapical backwards (Fig. 6U).
Female. Not distinctly modified. Refer to key for diagnostic characters.
 Taxonomy. See discussion on the previous species.
 Distribution. Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Turkey, Georgia. Records from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Syria, Lebanon, Israel-Palestine, Jordan and Iran need confirmation and possibly some of them could be referred to C. bernhaueri. An old citation from Austria (Baudi di Selve 1878) is probably erroneous.

Low-energy axial-vector transitions from decuplet to octet baryons

description: Axial-vector transitions of decuplet to octet baryons are parametrized at low energies guided by a complete and minimal chiral Lagrangian up to next-to-leading order. It is pointed out that beyond the well-known leading-order term, there is only one contribution at next-to-leading order. This contribution is flavor symmetric. Therefore the corresponding low-energy constant can be determined in any strangeness sector. As functions of this low-energy constant, we calculate the decay widths and Dalitz distributions for the decays of decuplet baryons to octet baryons, pions, and photons and for the weak decay of the Omega baryon to a cascade baryon, an electron, and an anti-neutrino.

description: We theoretically characterize interactions, energetics, and chemical reaction paths in ionic two-body and three-body systems of alkali-metal and alkaline-earth-metal atoms in the context of modern experiments with cold hybrid ion-atom mixtures. Using \textit{ab initio} techniques of quantum chemistry such as the coupled-cluster method, we calculate ground-state electronic properties of all diatomic $AB^+$ and most of triatomic $A_2B^+$ molecular ions consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Yb atoms. Different geometries and wave-function symmetries of the ground state are found for different classes of molecular ions. We analyze intermolecular interactions in the investigated systems including additive two-body and nonadditive three-body ones. As an example we provide two-dimensional interaction potential energy surfaces for KRb$^+$+K and Rb$^+$+Sr$_2$ mixtures. We identify possible channels of chemical reactions based on the energetics of the reactants. The present results may be useful for investigating controlled chemical reactions and other applications of molecular ions formed in cold hybrid ion-atom systems.

description: Broadband noise on supercontinuum spectra generated in microstructure fiber is shown to lead to amplitude fluctuations as large as 50 % for certain input laser pulse parameters. We study this noise using both experimental measurements and numerical simulations with a generalized stochastic nonlinear Schroedinger equation, finding good quantitative agreement over a range of input pulse energies and chirp values. This noise is shown to arise from nonlinear amplification of two quantum noise inputs: the input pulse shot noise and the spontaneous Raman scattering down the fiber.

description: We analyze the spreading of viruses in scale-free networks with high clustering and degree correlations, as found in the Internet graph. For the Suscetible-Infected-Susceptible model of epidemics the prevalence undergoes a phase transition at a finite threshold of the transmission probability. Comparing with the absence of a finite threshold in networks with purely random wiring, our result suggests that high clustering and degree correlations protect scale-free networks against the spreading of viruses. We introduce and verify a quantitative description of the epidemic threshold based on the connectivity of the neighborhoods of the hubs.

Properties of parallel upper critical field within Continuous Ginzburg-Landau model

description: In this paper, we employ a continuous Ginzburg-Landau model to study the behaviors of the parallel upper critical field of an intrinsically-layered superconductor. Near $T_c$ where the order parameter is nearly homogeneous, the parallel upper critical field is found to vary as $(1-T/T_c)^{1/2}$. With a well-localized order parameter, the same field temperature dependence holds over the whole temperature range. The profile of the order parameter at the parallel upper critical field may be of a Gaussian type, which is consistent with the usual linear Ginzburg-Landau theory. In addition, the influences of the unit cell dimension and the average effective masses on the parallel upper critical field and the associated order parameter are also addressed.

description: Abstract: We demonstrate the use of a convolutional neural network to perform neutron-gamma pulse shape discrimination, where the only inputs to the network are the raw digitised silicon photomultiplier signals from a dual scintillator detector element made of 6Li F:ZnS(Ag) scintillator and PVT plastic. A realistic labelled dataset was created to train the network by exposing the detector to an AmBe source, and a data-driven method utilising a separate photomultiplier tube was used to assign labels to the recorded signals. This approach is compared to the charge integration and continuous wavelet transform methods and a simpler artificial neural net. It is found to provide superior levels of discrimination, achieving an area under the curve of 0.996 ± 0.003. We find that the neural network is capable of extracting interpretable features directly from the raw data. In addition, by visualising the high-dimensional representations of the network with the t-SNE algorithm, we discover that not only is this method robust to minor mislabeling of the training dataset but that it is possible to identify an underlying substructure within the signals that goes beyond the original labelling. This technique could be utilised to explore and cluster complex, raw detector data in a novel way that may reveal more insights than standard analysis methods.

Our model is computationally simple, and gives an excellent fit to recent experimental data through the entire overstretching transition. The fit gives the first value for the bending stiffness of the overstretched state as about 10 nm*kbt, a value quite different from either B-form or single-stranded DNA.

Quantum effects on the dynamics of a two-mode atom-molecule Bose-Einstein condensate

description: We study the system of coupled atomic and molecular condensates within the two-mode model and beyond mean-field theory (MFT). Large amplitude atom-molecule coherent oscillations are shown to be damped by the rapid growth of fluctuations near the dynamically unstable molecular mode. This result contradicts earlier predictions about the recovery of atom-molecule oscillations in the two-mode limit. The frequency of the damped oscillation is also shown to scale as $\sqrt{N}/\log N$ with the total number of atoms $N$, rather than the expected pure $\sqrt{N}$ scaling. Using a linearized model, we obtain analytical expressions for the initial depletion of the molecular condensate in the vicinity of the instability, and show that the important effect neglected by mean field theory is an initially non-exponential `spontaneous' dissociation into the atomic vacuum. Starting with a small population in the atomic mode, the initial dissociation rate is sensitive to the exact atomic amplitudes, with the fastest (super-exponential) rate observed for the entangled state, formed by spontaneous dissociation.

description: Sweetpotato is used in various food preparations in place of rice, cassava, yam and plantain in Ghana. In spite of this it does not have the same importance in Ghanaian diet as other root and tuber crops. Consumer taste, preference and acceptance are critical in determining the suitability of sweetpotato cultivars to any locality. A study was carried out in some selected communities of Ghana where sweetpotato is popular which span all five ecozones of Ghana in February, 2012. The main objective was to investigate why sweetpotato has low utilization compared with other root and tuber crops and to increase its utilization through breeding. The study employed Focus Group Discussion (FGD) followed by administration of Semi-structured Questionnaire (SSQ). Data collected were analysed using Genstat and Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Seventy-nine people consisting of 63% males and 37% females, and 178 people consisting of 52% female and 48% males were involved in the FGD and SSQ, respectively. Majority (94%) of farmers’ ranked sweetpotato from 1 to 5 among 24 cultivated crops. Only about 28% of consumers ate sweetpotato at least six days per week. The survey revealed that consumers in Ghana desired non-sweet, high dry matter sweetpotato cultivars. Therefore, there is need for Research and Development to adjust sweetpotato breeding objectives and selection procedures to develop high dry matter non-sweet sweetpotato varieties in Ghana.

description: Severe nutrient depletion of the soils of the savannah tropics of Africa over the years has made it difficult to improve the productivity of varieties of crops using cultural practices alone. But interestingly, it has been observed that when a cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) crop is cut (clipped) before senescence; it can regenerate after defoliation (provided there is enough soil moisture). And when the clipped organic fodder is added and/or ploughed back into the soil, it enriches the soil organic matter (SOM) content that in turn enhances crop productivity. Thus, this study was carried out with the objective of determining the influence of intra-row spacing, clipping height and time on the productivity of cowpea and SOM; at the Institute for Agricultural Research, Ahmadu Bello University, Samaru, Zaria, Nigeria; during the 2002-2005 wet seasons. The experimental lay out was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), replicated three times. The collected data was analyzed statistically using the analysis of variance test (ANOVA); and the means separation was done using the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Results showed that the textural class of the experimental site soil was loam silt; with a conducive pH of (6.6 in 2002 and 5.5 in 2005), for crop growth. The soil organic carbon content (SOC), nitrogen (N) and cation exchange capacity (CEC) were very low (0.30 g kg-1, 0.88 g kg-1 and 4.90 respectively) in 2002. These increased to 10.37 g kg-1, 2.2 g kg-1 and 11.10 respectively in 2005. Total rainfall in 2002 was 1007.9mm and 871.5mm in 2005. Mean air temperature, relative humidity and sunshine hours in 2002 ranged between 21.0-31.5 °C, 16.0-90.6 and 4.5-8.5 respectively; while mean air temperature and relative humidity ranged between 24.7-32.0 °C and 40.5-85.3% respectively in 2005. Total harvested clipped fodder yield was 15t ha-1; and this was added to the soil; and it effectively increased SOM content by about 42%. Consequently, it was concluded that the adoption of this innovative clipping management technology, holds great potential of improving soil pH, increasing soil CEC, SOM and crop productivity generally, for the low technology, resource poor, and subsistence farmers in the region. Without doubt, overcoming SOM decline is a major component in the development of more sustainable agro-systems.

description: Densities and transition densities are computed in an equilateral triangular alpha-cluster model for $^{12}$C, in which each $α$ particle is taken as a gaussian density distribution. The ground-state, the symmetric vibration (Hoyle state) and the asymmetric bend vibration are analyzed in a molecular approach and dissected into their components in a series of harmonic functions, revealing their intrinsic structures. The transition densities in the laboratory frame are then used to construct form-factors and to compute DWBA inelastic cross-sections for the $^{12}$C$(α, α')$ reaction. The comparison with experimental data indicates that the simple geometrical model with rotations and vibrations gives a reliable description of reactions where $α$-cluster degrees of freedom are involved.

description: The effects of short-term (4 years) tillage (hereafter called reverse tillage [RT]) of land previously under long-term (29 or 30 years) no-till (NT), with straw management (straw removed [SRem] and straw retained [SRet]) and N fertilizer rate (0, 50 and 100 kg N ha-1 in SRet, and 0 kg N ha-1 in SRem plots) were determined in autumn 2011 on ammonium-N, nitrate-N and extractable P in the 0-7.5, 7.5-15 and 15-20 cm soil layers at Breton (Gray Luvisol [Typic Cryoboralf] loam) and Ellerslie (Black Chernozem [Albic Argicryoll] loam), Alberta, Canada. There was no significant effect of RT and straw on ammonium-N, nitrate-N and extractable P in soil. Ammonium-N in soil increased significantly (but small) with N rate in many cases at both sites. Nitrate-N in soil increased with increasing N rate from 0 to 100 kg N ha-1 rate at Ellerslie, and up to 50 kg N ha-1 rate at Breton. Etractable P in soil decreased markedly with increasing N rate up to 100 kg N ha-1 at Breton and up to 50 kg N ha-1 at Ellerslie. In summary, increased N fertilizer rates were usually associated with decreased extractable P and increased nitrate-N in soil, but RT and straw had no effect on these nutrients in soil.

description: Abstract: Cytosine hydroxymethylation (5hmC) in mammalian DNA is the product of oxidation of methylated cytosines (5mC) by Ten-Eleven-Translocation (TET) enzymes. While it has been shown that the TETs influence 5mC metabolism, pluripotency and differentiation during early embryonic development, the functional relationship between gene expression and 5hmC in adult (somatic) stem cell differentiation is still unknown. Here we report that 5hmC levels undergo highly dynamic changes during adult stem cell differentiation from intestinal progenitors to differentiated intestinal epithelium. We profiled 5hmC and gene activity in purified mouse intestinal progenitors and differentiated progeny to identify 43425 differentially hydroxymethylated regions and 5325 differentially expressed genes. These differentially marked regions showed both losses and gains of 5hmC after differentiation, despite lower global levels of 5hmC in progenitor cells. In progenitors, 5hmC did not correlate with gene transcript levels, however, upon differentiation the global increase in 5hmC content showed an overall positive correlation with gene expression level as well as prominent associations with histone modifications that typify active genes and enhancer elements. Our data support a gene regulatory role for 5hmC that is predominant over its role in controlling DNA methylation states.

description: A recent research direction in data-driven modeling is the identification of dynamic networks, in which measured vertex signals are interconnected by dynamic edges represented by causal linear transfer functions. The major question addressed in this paper is where to allocate external excitation signals such that a network model set becomes generically identifiable when measuring all vertex signals. To tackle this synthesis problem, a novel graph structure, referred to as \textit{directed pseudotree}, is introduced, and the generic identifiability of a network model set can be featured by a set of disjoint directed pseudotrees that cover all the parameterized edges of an \textit{extended graph}, which includes the correlation structure of the process noises. Thereby, an algorithmic procedure is devised, aiming to decompose the extended graph into a minimal number of disjoint pseudotrees, whose roots then provide the appropriate locations for excitation signals. Furthermore, the proposed approach can be adapted using the notion of \textit{anti-pseudotrees} to solve a dual problem, that is to select a minimal number of measurement signals for generic identifiability of the overall network, under the assumption that all the vertices are excited.

description: Abstract: Obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction (OETD) is a common condition resulting from inadequate opening of the Eustachian tube (ET). A new surgical treatment involves high-pressure inflation of a balloon within the ET, with the aim of dilating the soft tissue structure. However, the mechanical effects of this intervention have not been established, nor the impact of changing device size or other technical parameters. A novel experimental technique allowed quantification of plastic and elastic tissue deformation in model materials and then human cadaver ETs during balloon dilation, based on the measured balloon inflation pressure-volume relationship. Plastic tissue deformation was found to be greater using larger balloons and deeper device insertion, but increasing the inflation pressure had a more limited effect, with most deformation occurring well below the clinically used pressures. Histological assessment of ET tissue suggested that mucosal tearing and cartilage cracking were in part responsible for the mechanical changes. Balloon dilation of the ET has huge potential if found to be clinically effective, but currently there is a need to understand and develop the technique further. The novel methods employed in this study will be valuable in future laboratory and in vivo studies of ET balloon dilation. Pressures are reported in Bar as this unit is used for medical balloon dilation procedures in clinical practice. 1 Bar = 100,000 Pa. Graphical abstract captionDilation of the Eustachian tube for obstructive dysfunction is performed clinically with 3- and 6-mm-diameter balloons of approximately the same overall length. Our data suggest that dilation with a 6-mm balloon causes greater deformation of the soft tissue structure than dilation with a 3-mm balloon. This difference has yet to be demonstrated clinically. Plastic deformation was measured in terms of energy (J) dissipated during balloon inflation.

description: The quantum action generated by fermions which are minimally coupled to abelian vortex background fields is studied in D=2+1 and D=3+1 Euclidean dimensions. We present a detailed analysis of single- and binary-vortex configurations using the recently developed method of worldline numerics. The dependence of the fermion-induced quantum action on the fermion mass and the magnetic fluxes carried by the vortices is studied, and the binary-vortex interaction is computed. Additionally, we discuss the chiral condensate generated from a dilute gas of vortices in the intermediate fermion mass range for the case D=3+1. As a byproduct, our findings provide insight into the validity limits of the derivative expansion, which is the standard analytical approach to inhomogeneous backgrounds.

description: Despite the extensive use of the logistic transformation in statistics, the logit transformation of a normal random variable has not been investigated in depth. In particular, it is generally held that moments of a logit-normal random variable must be obtained through numerical integration. We will show, that in general positive integer moments can be constructed using recurrence relations and infinite sums of hyperbolic, exponential and trigonometric functions. We will determine criterion for truncating these infinite sums, while maintaining accuracy and gaining computational efficiency relative to current numerical integration methods for estimating logit-normal moments. We will show all negative moments are exact analytic functions of the moments of the log-normal distribution. Further, given logit-normal moments are known for a subset of possible μ, we will show a relationship exists between log-normal and logit-normal moments for all other possible values of μ, which leads to an exact expression for the first moment when μ/σ2 is an integer.
