description: Finding the biomarkers associated with ASD is helpful for understanding the underlying roots of the disorder and can lead to earlier diagnosis and more targeted treatment. A promising approach to identify biomarkers is using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), which can be used to analyze graph structured data, i.e. brain networks constructed by fMRI. One way to interpret important features is through looking at how the classification probability changes if the features are occluded or replaced. The major limitation of this approach is that replacing values may change the distribution of the data and lead to serious errors. Therefore, we develop a 2-stage pipeline to eliminate the need to replace features for reliable biomarker interpretation. Specifically, we propose an inductive GNN to embed the graphs containing different properties of task-fMRI for identifying ASD and then discover the brain regions/sub-graphs used as evidence for the GNN classifier. We first show GNN can achieve high accuracy in identifying ASD. Next, we calculate the feature importance scores using GNN and compare the interpretation ability with Random Forest. Finally, we run with different atlases and parameters, proving the robustness of the proposed method. The detected biomarkers reveal their association with social behaviors. We also show the potential of discovering new informative biomarkers. Our pipeline can be generalized to other graph feature importance interpretation problems.

Hume's "mental geography" : the aim and scope of the first Enquiry
Creators: name: Stern, George
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1969

description: The epistemological legacy inherited by Hume both from his rationalist and from his empiricist predecessors was seen by him to be defective at its foundation. It was based upon the following principles: A) that indubitable knowledge was attainable in at least some fields, mathematics or sense experience or divine revelation; B) that basically all knowledge was of a kind: that is, once we have uncovered a method for acquiring indubitable knowledge in one field, this method can be extended to all others; and that consequently the goal of certainty in all departments of human knowledge is theoretically attainable; C) that ways of knowing and what was known were independent of the knowing mind.

description: The design of multi-functional BMGs is limited by the lack of a quantitative understanding of the variables that control the glass-forming ability (GFA) of alloys. Both geometric frustration (e.g. differences in atomic radii) and energetic frustration (e.g. differences in the cohesive energies of the atomic species) contribute to the GFA. We perform molecular dynamics simulations of binary Lennard-Jones mixtures with only energetic frustration. We show that there is little correlation between the heat of mixing and critical cooling rate $R_c$, below which the system crystallizes, except that $ΔH_{\rm mix} < 0$. By removing the effects of geometric frustration, we show strong correlations between $R_c$ and the variables $ε_- = (ε_{BB}-ε_{AA})/(ε_{AA}+ε_{BB})$ and ${\overline ε}_{AB} = 2ε_{AB}/(ε_{AA}+ε_{BB})$, where $ε_{AA}$ and $ε_{BB}$ are the cohesive energies of atoms $A$ and $B$ and $ε_{AB}$ is the pair interaction between $A$ and $B$ atoms. We identify a particular $f_B$-dependent combination of $ε_-$ and ${\overline ε}_{AB}$ that collapses the data for $R_c$ over nearly $4$ orders of magnitude in cooling rate.

description: The physics potential of an e+e- linear collider can be significantly enhanced if both the electron and positron beams are polarised. Low energy running at the Z-resonance or close to the W-pair threshold is particularly attractive with polarised positrons. This note discusses the experimental aspects and physics opportunities of both low energy running and positron polarisation.

description: Major sources of variability in net farm income on New York dairy farms over the past 10 years are identified using variance decomposition methods. The most important source of income variability is the fluctuation in milk prices, followed closely by year-to-year variation in the quantity of purchased feeds. The degree of success in engaging in activities that increase diversification and lead to variance reductions in farm income are higher for older farmers and for those that utilize milking parlors, use recombinant bovine somatotropin, have greater assets per cow, and have engaged in activities to earn income from off-farm sources.

description: Agricultural market information such as commodity prices, trade volumes and weather conditions, plays an important facilitating role in improving the performance of markets. This research assesses the impact of the agricultural Market Information Service (MIS) on the performance of maize markets in Uganda. Specifically, the research analyzes two performance criteria - pricing efficiency and price transmission for three pairs of markets that trade in maize – three supply markets and one consumer market – over a period of 11 years from 1995 to 2006. The overall conclusion from the research is that the MIS positively influenced market performance in all three market pairs on two broad fronts. First, after the MIS was implemented, a larger portion of the price changes in the consumer market was transmitted to the supply markets, and at a greater speed. Second, with improved access to information, traders responded to opportunities to arbitrage, and as a result generated an additional US$ 1.8 million in 2004.

The Welfare Economics of an Excise-Tax Exemption for Biofuels and the Interaction Effects with Farm Subsidies

description: A general theory is developed to analyze the efficiency and income distribution effects of a biofuel consumer tax exemption and the interaction effects with a price contingent farm subsidy. Using U.S. policy as an example, ethanol prices rise above the gasoline price by the amount of the tax credit. Corn farmers therefore gain directly while gasoline consumers only gain from any reduction in world oil prices due to the extra ethanol production. Domestic oil producers lose. Because increased ethanol production improves the terms of trade in both the export of corn and the import of oil, we determine the optimal tax credit and the conditions affecting it. Historically, the intercept of the ethanol supply curve is above the gasoline price. Hence, part of the tax credit is redundant and represents ‘rectangular’ deadweight costs that dwarf standard triangular deadweight cost measures of traditional farm subsidies. We show under what conditions corn subsidies can eliminate, create, have no effect or have an ambiguous effect on rectangular deadweight costs. There are situations where corn subsidies have been the sole cause of ethanol production (and therefore of rectangular deadweight costs), even with the tax credit. Corn producers do not benefit from a tax credit when the subsidy program is in effect. Proponents of ethanol argue that the tax credit reduces tax costs of farm subsidies. But this ignores rectangular deadweight costs. To assess this, we calibrate a stylized empirical model of the U.S. corn market and determine that total rectangular deadweight costs averaged $1,520 mil. from 2001-2006. Over 25 percent of this is due to the farm subsidy program which also increased the tax costs of the tax credit by 50 percent. Furthermore, the tax credit itself doubles the deadweight costs of the corn production subsidies. Ethanol policies can therefore not be justified on the grounds of mitigating the effects of farm subsidy programs.
British policy towards the Malays in the Federated Malay States, 1920-40

Year: 1971
Subjects: subject: Great Britain Colonies AdministrationFederated Malay States
subject: Federated Malay States Politics and government

description: There are only a handful of studies on the political history of Malaya during the interwar years. This is mainly due to the fact that until 1966 the official records for the period were closed to researchers. Based mainly on information gleaned from these records, this dissertation studies an aspect of British policy in one limited area in Malaya during the period, 1920- 1940. The area referred to was the Federated Malay States (FMS) which comprised Perak, Selangor, Negri Sembilan and Pahang. Affairs in the other two regions in Malaya, namely the Straits Settlements and the Unfederated Malay States (UMS), have been omitted save when they had a bearing on the subject under discussion. This is a study of British efforts to uplift the Malays politically in the FMS with particular reference to a policy of decentralisation and of training Malays for the public service. The core of the thesis deals with the decentralisation movement which attempted to loosen the highly centralised federal administration in the FMS, restore powers to the states, and enable Malays to play a more active role in public affairs. This movement began in 1920 and in effect ended in 19*+0 » This explains the choice of dates for this dissertation.

description: This paper proposes a trade restrictiveness indicator that explicitly incorporates environmental externalities. The index employs directional distance functions and use indicators (i.e. differences rather than ratios) modified to account for and evaluate efficiency changes in the face of simultaneous and multi-dimensional trade and environmental policy reforms. The index is made up of two components, one for production and one for consumption. Our overall trade restrictiveness indicator is accordingly the difference of the two. The properties of the indicator are developed and discussed together with its estimation.

description: In this paper we study flavor violation in supersymmetric models with gauged flavor symmetries. There are several sources of flavor violation in these theories. The dominant flavor violation is the tree-level $D$-term contribution to scalar masses generated by flavor symmetry breaking. We present a new approach for suppressing this phenomenologically dangerous effects by separating the flavor-breaking sector from supersymmetry-breaking one. The separation can be achieved in geometrical setups or in a dynamical way. We also point out that radiative corrections from the gauginos of gauged flavor symmetries give sizable generation-dependent masses of scalars. The gaugino mass effects are generic and not suppressed even if the dominant $D$-term contribution is suppressed. We also analyze the constraints on the flavor symmetry sector from these flavor-violating corrections.

description: The major objective of this study is to evaluate the adoption of groundnut varieties that are high yielding, drought tolerant, and groundnut rosette disease (GRD) resistant in eastern Uganda. In particular, this study examines differences in adoption and farm-level productivity associated with participation in the Appropriate Technology Uganda (ATU) seed dissemination project during the early 2000s. We are particularly interested in the sustainability of the project outcomes 10-years after the end of the original intervention. The impact of the ATU intervention is examined with respect to increased productivity (higher expected yields) and risk-reduction (improved disease resistance and drought tolerance). We find that participating farmers allocated 21% more of their available land to improved groundnut varieties. The results also show that, for improved varieties, beneficiaries produce 32% higher yields than their non-participating neighbors, and 55% higher yields relative to non-neighbor controls. This implies that the project led to significant increases in profitability for participating farmers. In addition, we observe significant spillover effects from the project, which is clearly revealed by the yield difference between non-participating neighboring households and non-neighbor controls. These results imply that project beneficiaries transferred some benefits to the neighbor control group over the course of the 10-year period following the project. This is an important result suggesting that farmer-led programs offer additional advantages to developing communities and may provide a cost-effective means of information and technology dissemination.

description: We present an analysis of the spectral shape and pulse profile of the accretion-powered pulsar 4U 1626-67 observed with Suzaku and NuSTAR during a spin-up state. The pulsar, which experienced a torque reversal to spin-up in 2008, has a spin period of 7.7 s. Comparing the phase-averaged spectra obtained with Suzaku in 2010 and with NuSTAR in 2015, we find that the spectral shape changed between the two observations: the 3-10 keV flux increased by 5% while the 30-60 keV flux decreased significantly by 35%. Phase-averaged and phase-resolved spectral analysis shows that the continuum spectrum observed by NuSTAR is well described by an empirical NPEX continuum with an added broad Gaussian emission component around the spectral peak at 20 keV. Taken together with the observed Pdot value obtained from Fermi/GBM, we conclude that the spectral change between the Suzaku and NuSTAR observations was likely caused by an increase of the accretion rate. We also report the possible detection of asymmetry in the profile of the fundamental cyclotron line. Furthermore, we present a study of the energy-resolved pulse profiles using a new relativistic ray tracing code, where we perform a simultaneous fit to the pulse profiles assuming a two-column geometry with a mixed pencil- and fan-beam emission pattern. The resulting pulse profile decompositions enable us to obtain geometrical parameters of accretion columns (inclination, azimuthal and polar angles) and a fiducial set of beam patterns. This information is important to validate the theoretical predictions from radiation transfer in a strong magnetic field.

description: The development path that the livestock sector follows in Africa will have important economic, social and environmental implications for the region. In recent years, livestock development has become highly market driven in Africa. In this regards, several studies have attempted to project the future market perspectives for the livestock sector. Most of these studies have used theory-based simultaneous equations model approaches. This paper argues that under the complex dynamics that characterize the market for livestock products in Africa a Vector Autoregressive model could be a more appropriate methodological approach. The results show that size of the livestock market in Africa can be partly explained by the past realizations of each subsector, the cross feedback effect of other subsectors, and the changes in the levels of gross national income and population. The paper highlights that market size for livestock products in Africa by 2030 could fluctuate considerably depending on the level of economic growth achieved in the region.

description: Military personnel use dietary supplements (DS) for performance enhancement, bodybuilding, weight loss, and to maintain health. Adverse events, including cardiovascular (CV) effects, have been reported in military personnel taking supplements. Previous research determined that ingestion of multi-ingredient dietary supplements (MIDS), can lead to signals of safety concerns. Therefore, to assess the safety of MIDS, the Department of Defense via a contractor explored the development of a model-based risk assessment tool. We present a strategy and preliminary novel multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA)-based tool for assessing the risk of adverse CV effects from MIDS. The tool integrates toxicology and other relevant data available on MIDS; likelihood of exposure, and biologic plausibility that could contribute to specific aspects of risk. Inputs for the model are values of four measures assigned based on the available evidence supplemented with the opinion of experts in toxicology, modeling, risk assessment etc. Measures were weighted based on the experts’ assessment of measures’ relative importance. Finally, all data for the four measures were integrated to provide a risk potential of 0 (low risk) to 100 (high risk) that defines the relative risk of a MIDS to cause adverse reactions. We conclude that the best available evidence must be supplemented with the opinion of experts in medicine, toxicology and pharmacology. Model-based approaches are useful to inform risk assessment in the absence of data. This MCDA model provides a foundation for refinement and validation of accuracy of the model predictions as new evidence becomes available.

description: Quantum oscillations (QOs) in transport and thermodynamic parameters at high magnetic fields are an unambiguous signature of the Fermi surface, the defining characteristic of a metal. Therefore, recent observations of QOs in insulating SmB$_6$ and YbB$_{12}$, in particular the QOs of the resistivity $ρ_{xx}$ in YbB$_{12}$, have been a big surprise, pointing to the formation of a novel state of quantum matter. Despite the large charge gap inferred from the insulating behaviour of $ρ_{xx}$, these compounds seemingly host a Fermi surface at high magnetic fields. However, the nature of the ground state in zero field has been little explored. Here we report the use of low-temperature heat-transport measurements to discover gapless, itinerant, charge-neutral excitations in the ground state of YbB$_{12}$. At zero field, despite $ρ_{xx}$ being far larger than that of conventional metals, a sizable linear temperature dependent term in the thermal conductivity is clearly resolved in the zero-temperature limit ($κ_{xx}/T(T\rightarrow0)=κ_{xx}^0/T\neq0$). Such a residual $κ_{xx}^0/T$ term at zero field, which is absent in SmB$_6$, leads to a spectacular violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law: the Lorenz ratio $L=κ_{xx}ρ_{xx}/T$ is $10^{4}$-$10^{5}$ times larger than that expected in conventional metals. These data indicate that YbB$_{12}$ is a charge insulator but a thermal metal, suggesting the presence of itinerant neutral fermions. Remarkably, more insulating crystals with larger activation energies exhibit a larger amplitude of the resistive QOs as well as a larger $κ_{xx}^0/T$, in stark contrast to conventional metals. Moreover, we find that these fermions couple to magnetic field, despite their charge neutrality. Our findings expose novel gapless and highly itinerant, charge-neutral quasiparticles in this unconventional quantum state.

description: In the context of three-neutrino oscillations, we study the possibility of using antineutrinos from nuclear reactors to explore the 10^{-4} {\rm eV^2} < \ms \ltap 8\times 10^{-4} {\rm eV^2} region of the LMA MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem and measure $\ms$ with high precision. The KamLAND experiment is not expected to determine $\ms$ if the latter happens to lie in the indicated region. By analysing both the total event rate suppression and the energy spectrum distortion caused by \barν_e oscillations in vacuum, we show that the optimal baseline of such an experiment is L \sim (20 - 25) km. Furthermore, for 10^{-4} {\rm eV^2} < \ms \ltap 5\times 10^{-4} {\rm eV^2}, the same experiment might be used to try to distinguish between the two possible types of neutrino mass spectrum - with normal or with inverted hierarchy, by exploring the effect of interference between the atmospheric- and solar- Δm^2 driven oscillations; for larger values of \ms not exceeding 8.0\times 10^{-4} eV^2, a shorter baseline, L \cong 10 km, would be needed for the purpose. The indicated interference effect modifies in a characteristic way the energy spectrum of detected events. Distinguishing between the two types of neutrino mass spectrum requires, however, a high precision determination of the atmospheric Δm^2, a sufficiently large \sin^2θand a non-maximal \sin^22θ_{\odot}, where θand θ_{\odot} are the mixing angles respectively limited by the CHOOZ and Palo Verde data and characterizing the solar neutrino oscillations. It also requires a relatively high precision measurement of the positron spectrum in the reaction \barν_e + p \to e^{+} + n.

description: The aim of this thesis is to examine the State structure which has evolved in the wake of the Cultural Revolution; and the personnel involved. It will be restricted to an analysis of the central apparatus in Peking. The starting date for systematic data collection is October 1, 1968, the National Day following the establishment of the last provincial revolutionary committee, and the cut off date is May 1, 1973, a time when many new cadres were rehabilitated. The approach adopted is a twofold one. Firstly to examine in depth the reforms executed on the state structure after the Cultural Revolution; and also to systematically analyse the cadre who staff it at the higher levels.

description: We demonstrate the storage and manipulation of narrowband heralded single photons from a cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) source in the atomic quantum memory based on electromagnetically induced transparency. We show that nonclassical correlations are preserved between the heralding and the retrieved photons after storage process. By varying the intensity of the coupling field during retrieval process, we further demonstrate that the waveform or bandwidth of the single photons can be manipulated and the nonclassical correlation between the photon pairs can be even enhanced. Unlike previous works, our SPDC source is single mode in frequency, which not only reduces the experimental complexity arising from external filtering but also increases the useful photon generation rate. Our results can be scaled up with ease and thus lay the foundation for future realization of large-scale applications in quantum information processing.

description: We describe a new mechanism for reheating the Universe through evaporation of a surface charge of a fragmented inflaton condensate. We show that for a range of Yukawa coupling of the inflaton to the matter sector evaporation gives rise to a much smaller reheat temperature compared to the standard perturbative decay. As a consequence, reheating through a surface effect could solve the gravitino and moduli over production problem in inflationary models without fine tuning the Yukawa sector.

description: Background/objective: Hyperuricemia leads to gout and renal complications and may increase cardiovascular risk. Curcumin inhibits xanthine oxidase and increases uricosuric activity and, as a result, decreases serum urate (SU). This randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effects of curcumin versus placebo on SU in subjects with asymptomatic hyperuricemia (SU level ≥ 6 mg/dL in women or ≥ 7 mg/dL in men). Methods: Thirty-nine subjects with persistent hyperuricemia were randomized to receive curcumin (500-mg capsules twice daily, 20 subjects) or placebo (19 subjects). Primary outcome was the difference between SU before and 8 weeks after randomization. Secondary outcomes were differences between urine uric acid (UUA) clearance, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and lipid profiles before and 8 weeks after randomization and adverse events. Results: Out of 39 subjects, there were no differences at baseline SU, UUA clearance, FPG, lipid profiles, and demographics between curcumin and placebo groups. After 8 weeks, SU was significantly decreased in both groups (6.9% in curcumin group, p = 0.002, and 5.0% in placebo group, p = 0.009). However, there was no difference in SU reduction between the two groups (p = 0.532). There were no differences in UUA, FPG, lipid profiles, or adverse events in either group at 8 weeks after randomization. The most common adverse event was diarrhea with no treatment required. Conclusion: Curcumin was not superior to placebo in reducing serum urate and in increasing UUA clearance.

description: Sustainable agricultural practices are being promoted across Africa. While literature provides robust evidence on their welfare impacts in isolation, there is limited evidence on how combinations of sustainable agricultural practices contribute to households’ welfare. Due to complementary and substitution effects and cost involved in adopting SAPs, combinations may have impacts that are higher or lower than individual effects. To shed light on this question we employ cross-sectional data from northern Ghana, which was collected from 421 households and 1229 plots. We investigate the adoption and impacts of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) on net crop income per acre and consumption expenditure per capita. We employed a maximum simulated likelihood estimation of a Multinomial Endogenous Treatment Effect Model (METEM) to account for observable and unobservable heterogeneity that influences SAP adoption decisions and the outcome variables. Our results reveal that adoption decisions are affected by household and plot level characteristics. We find that adoption of SAPs significantly increase net crop income and consumption expenditure except when soil & water conservation is adopted in isolation. Contrary to some previous studies elsewhere in Africa on this area, we find that SAPs have a stronger effect on income and expenditure when adopted as a package (all together) rather than in isolation or in sub groups.
