description: Cosmic filaments play a crucial role in galaxy evolution transporting gas from the intergalactic medium into galaxies. However, little is known about the efficiency of this process and whether the gas is accreted in a homogenous or clumpy way. Recent observations suggest the presence of broad gas density distributions in the circumgalactic medium which could be related to the accretion of filaments. By means of high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations, we explore here the evolution of cold accreting filaments flowing through the hot circumgalactic medium (CGM) of high-z galaxies. In particular, we examine the nonlinear effects of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) on the development of broad gas density distributions and on the formation of cold, dense clumps. We explore a large parameter space in filament and perturbation properties, such as, filament Mach number, initial perturbation wavelength, and thickness of the interface between the filament and the halo. We find that the time averaged density distribution of the cold gas is qualitatively consistent with a skewed log-normal probability distribution function (PDF) plus an additional component in form of a high density tail for high Mach-numbers. Our results suggest a tight correlation between the accreting velocity and the maximum densities developing in the filament which is consistent with the variance-Mach number relation for turbulence. Therefore, cosmological accretion could be a viable mechanism to produce turbulence and broad gas density distributions within the CGM.

description: This paper aims to contribute to the scarce literature on consumers’ preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for safer foods in Sub-Saharan Africa( in general) and in particularly Malawi. The results, from face to face interviews carried out in Malawi with urban consumers, showed that the majority of consumers prefer to buy raw milk and boil it before consumption. Nonetheless, 38% consumers opted for the ultra-pasteurized milk that is safe to consume without boiling but is significantly more expensive. Consumers were found to be willing to pay a price premium for safe milk which was significantly higher than the retail price premium. The results also showed that consumers’ preferences and willingness to pay for safer milk are not only determined by consumers’ socio-demographic characteristics but are also affected by consumers’ attitudes, consumption habits and purchase habits of milk and other dairy products. Therefore, taking into account consumers’ preferences and habits is crucial to boost the demand for safer milk in countries where the consumption of unsafe foods is still a major threat to the population life.

description: We report on experimental implementation of a machine-learned quantum gate driven by a classical control. The gate learns optimal phase-covariant cloning in a reinforcement learning scenario having fidelity of the clones as reward. In our experiment, the gate learns to achieve nearly optimal cloning fidelity allowed for this particular class of states. This makes it a proof of present-day feasibility and practical applicability of the hybrid machine learning approach combining quantum information processing with classical control. Moreover, our experiment can be directly generalized to larger interferometers where the computational cost of classical computer is much lower than the cost of boson sampling.

description: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains the number one cause of end-stage renal disease in the western world. In experimental diabetes, mitochondrial dysfunction in the kidney precedes the development of DKD. Reactive 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, such as methylglyoxal, are generated from sugars both endogenously during diabetes and exogenously during food processing. Methylglyoxal is thought to impair the mitochondrial function and may contribute to the pathogenesis of DKD. Here, we sought to target methylglyoxal within the mitochondria using MitoGamide, a mitochondria-targeted dicarbonyl scavenger, in an experimental model of diabetes. Male 6-week-old heterozygous Akita mice (C57BL/6-Ins2-Akita/J) or wildtype littermates were randomized to receive MitoGamide (10 mg/kg/day) or a vehicle by oral gavage for 16 weeks. MitoGamide did not alter the blood glucose control or body composition. Akita mice exhibited hallmarks of DKD including albuminuria, hyperfiltration, glomerulosclerosis, and renal fibrosis, however, after 16 weeks of treatment, MitoGamide did not substantially improve the renal phenotype. Complex-I-linked mitochondrial respiration was increased in the kidney of Akita mice which was unaffected by MitoGamide. Exploratory studies using transcriptomics identified that MitoGamide induced changes to olfactory signaling, immune system, respiratory electron transport, and post-translational protein modification pathways. These findings indicate that targeting methylglyoxal within the mitochondria using MitoGamide is not a valid therapeutic approach for DKD and that other mitochondrial targets or processes upstream should be the focus of therapy.

description: This work evaluates the effect of the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP1) on EU’s fruit imports from Southern African Development Community (SADC) member countries during 2005-2014, using a new and advanced micro-econometric tool known as the Triple-Difference estimator. The estimator is advantageous given that it is robust to policy endogeneity and it uses a very flexible benchmark to which the intensive margin and extensive margin of trade performance are compared. Two preference margin measures are used as proxies for the preferential treatment granted to SADC member countries by the EU. Furthermore, highly disaggregated data at HS 6-Digit level, for 12 SADC member countries and 27 EU member states are used for the analysis. The analysis employed takes into consideration of zero-trade flows. Empirical results suggest that the EU-GSP scheme generally has a significant positive impact on EU’s fruit imports from SADC member countries. Notably, the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) benefited more from the scheme as compared to the non-LDCs.

genomic imprinting

description: Genomic imprinting, an epigenetic phenomenon that causes the expression of a small set of genes in a parent-of-origin-specific manner, is thought to have co-evolved with placentation. Many imprinted genes are expressed in the placenta, where they play diverse roles related to development and nutrient supply function. However, only a small number of imprinted genes have been functionally tested for a role in nutrient transfer capacity in relation to the structural characteristics of the exchange labyrinthine zone. Here, we examine the transfer capacity in a mouse model deficient for the maternally expressed Phlda2 gene, which results in placental overgrowth and a transient reduction in fetal growth. Using stereology, we show that the morphology of the labyrinthine zone in Phlda2−/+ mutants is normal at E16 and E19. In vivo placental transfer of radiolabeled solutes 14C-methyl-D-glucose and 14C-MeAIB remains unaffected at both gestational time points. However, placental passive permeability, as measured using two inert hydrophilic solutes (14C-mannitol; 14C-inulin), is significantly higher in mutants. Importantly, this increase in passive permeability is associated with fetal catch-up growth. Our findings uncover a key role played by the imprinted Phlda2 gene in modifying placental passive permeability that may be important for determining fetal growth.

description: With nearly 400 migratory landbird species, the East Asian Flyway is the most diverse of the world’s flyways. This diversity is a consequence of the varied ecological niches provided by biomes ranging from broadleaf forests to arctic tundra and accentuated by complex biogeographic processes. The distribution and migration ecology of East Asian landbirds is still inadequately known, but a recent explosion in the number of studies tracking the migration of raptors, cuckoos, kingfishers and passerines has greatly increased our knowledge about the stopover and wintering ecology of many species, and the migratory routes that link northeast Eurasia and the Asian tropics. Yet the East Asian Flyway also supports the highest number of threatened species among flyways. Strong declines have been detected in buntings (Emberizidae) and other long-distance migrants. While the conservation of migratory landbirds in this region has largely focused on unsustainable hunting, there are other threats, such as habitat loss and increased agro-chemical use driven directly by land cover change and climate-related processes. Important knowledge gaps to be addressed include (1) threats affecting species in different parts of their annual cycle, (2) range-wide population trends, (3) ecological requirements and habitat use during the non-breeding season, and (4) the conservation status of critical wintering sites (including understudied farming landscapes, such as rice fields) and migration bottlenecks along the flyway.

description: We show that the quark flavour structure and CP violating phenomena are strongly correlated in supersymmetric theories. For a generic pattern of supersymmetry breaking the two broad categories of Yukawa couplings, democratic and hierarchical textures, have entirely different phenomenological implications. With hierarchical Yukawas, the rephasing invariant phase, arg(V_us V_cb V_cb^* V_cs^*), in the CKM mixing matrix has to be of order unity, while the SUSY CP violating phases are severely constrained by electric dipole moments, giving rise to the so-called SUSY CP problem. With democratic Yukawas, all experimental CP results can be accommodated with small values for the CKM and SUSY CP violating phases (i.e., CP can be considered as an approximate symmetry at the high energy scale). We also show that within this scenario, an entirely real CKM matrix in supersymmetric models is still allowed by the present experimental results.

For the magnetostrictive constants we find $λ_{\mathrm{Co_{25}}\mathrm{Fe_{75}}}=(-20.68\pm0.25)\times10^{-6}$ and $λ_{\mathrm{Co_{10}}\mathrm{Fe_{90}}}=(-9.80\pm0.12)\times10^{-6}$ at room temperature. In stark contrast to the positive magnetostriction previously found in bulk CoFe crystals. $\mathrm{Co_{25}}\mathrm{Fe_{75}}$ thin films unite low damping and sizable magnetostriction and are thus a prime candidate for micromechanical magnonic applications, such as sensors and hybrid phonon-magnon systems.

description: We formulate a dynamically triangulated model of three-dimensional Lorentzian quantum gravity whose spatial sections are flat two-tori. It is shown that the combinatorics involved in evaluating the one-step propagator (the transfer matrix) is that of a set of vicious walkers on a two-dimensional lattice with periodic boundary conditions and that the entropy of the model scales exponentially with the volume. We also give explicit expressions for the Teichmüller parameters of the spatial slices in terms of the discrete parameters of the 3d triangulations, and reexpress the discretized action in terms of them. The relative simplicity and explicitness of this model make it ideally suited for an analytic study of the conformal-factor cancellation observed previously in Lorentzian dynamical triangulations and of its relation to alternative, reduced phase space quantizations of 3d gravity.

The data sample used for this purpose consists of events in which one $B^0$ meson is reconstructed in a hadronic decay mode, while the flavor of the recoiling $B^0$ is determined with a tagging algorithm that exploits the correlation between the flavor of the heavy quark and the charges of its decay products. From the time development of the observed mixed and unmixed final states we determine the $B^0$-$\bar B^0$ oscillation frequency $Δm_d$ to be $0.516 \pm 0.016 ({stat}) \pm 0.010 ({syst}) {\rm ps}^{-1}$.

description: Considering the structure of Ethiopian economy and the level of poverty, it would be interesting to examine to what extent Ethiopia’s industrialisation effort has succeeded or failed in establishing internal and external competitiveness. Competitiveness is the way to face the challenges and to grasp the opportunities provided by globalisation. Thus, the need is not simply manufacturing expansion, but also to identify firms in which there is competitive advantage for selective intervention. Based on the analytical framework outlined in section 2 and considering the local context, this paper estimated domestic and international competitiveness of the Ethiopian manufacturing industry. We further developed a composite index criteria taking into account contribution to the economy, factor and raw material base, resource use efficiency, and competitive advantage in order to inform manufacturing policy for selective priority interventions. It was found that Ethiopian experience in industrialisation and competitiveness is poor. In fact the existing competitiveness capacity of the sector is not good. What is most surprising is that the findings do not fully support what the government propagates with regard to manufacturing sector where the focus is based on resource-based theory. All the four-digit manufacturing activities in the textiles and leather sub-sectors prove to be uncompetitive even in the domestic market. The lesson drawn from this paper is that non-resource based firms can also be competitive through improved productivity and high learning rate.

description: This paper aims to show how the design, production and stabilization of a given artifact could be socially constructed. Grounded in Science and Technology Studies (STS), the perspective dubbed as “social construction of technology” (SCOT) provides us with analytical tools such as “relevant social groups,” “stabilization,” “interpretive flexibility of meaning” and “disturbance.” On the basis of these analytical tools, this study tries to show the condition in which Finchaa Sugar Factory’s ethanol-kerosene blend (‘K-50’) was to reach the stage of stabilization. More particularly, the study focuses on the “disturbance” – this is a technical word in SCOT – that the media staged and, as a result, nearly knocked K-50 out of market. The principal value of this study lies in bringing together engineering knowledge and the social sciences in the Ethiopian context. The study could somehow be taken as experimental in that it helps us to see the interface between the two areas – an interface which is given little or no consideration among either social scientists or technologists in many ‘developing’ countries.

description: Wild aquatic birds are the primary hosts of H13 avian influenza viruses (AIVs). Herein, we performed a genetic analysis of two H13 AIVs isolated from wild birds in China and evaluated their infection potential in poultry to further explore the potential for transmission from wild aquatic birds to poultry. Our results showed that the two strains belong to different groups, one strain (A/mallard/Dalian/DZ-137/2013; abbreviated as DZ137) belongs to Group I, whereas the other strain (A/Eurasian Curlew/Liaoning/ZH-385/2014; abbreviated as ZH385) belongs to Group III. In vitro experiments showed that both DZ137 and ZH385 can replicate efficiently in chicken embryo fibroblast cells. We found that these H13 AIVs can also efficiently replicate in mammalian cell lines, including human embryonic kidney cells and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. In vivo experiments showed that DZ137 and ZH385 can infect 1-day-old specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens, and that ZH385 has a higher replication ability in chickens than DZ137. Notably, only ZH385 can replicate efficiently in 10-day-old SPF chickens. However, neither DZ137 nor ZH385 can replicate well in turkeys and quails. Both DZ137 and ZH385 can replicate in 3-week-old mice. Serological surveillance of poultry showed a 4.6%-10.4% (15/328-34/328) antibody-positive rate against H13 AIVs in farm chickens. Our findings indicate that H13 AIVs have the replication ability in chickens and mice and may have a risk of crossing the host barrier from wild aquatic birds to poultry or mammals in the future.

description: This study aimed at examining the existence of technical efficiency differences among tanneries and leather processing firms using stochastic frontier production function models. The study considered 10 tanneries and 24 leather processing firms for the period 1996 to 1999. Mean technical efficiency of tanneries was about 83 percent for the entire period, albeit showing a declining trend. Among tanneries, larger firms were found to be more efficient because of the advantage of scale economies. Contrary to the widely held view, exporting tanneries were not as efficient as inward oriented ones except that they were using capital intensive and relatively modern technologies which might have allowed them producing good quality products for their target markets. Although, leather processing industries were operating far below their designed capacity, the empirical evidence externalized the causes for their poor performance. The Translog production function estimated through OLS was found to better characterize their production technology implying that there was not statistically significant technical efficiency difference amongst them. External constraints might include unfair competition with illegal imports, lack of easier access to finance, and limited government support in light of the fiercely competitive global trade and the infant nature of the sector. Albeit, statistical tests do not affirm it, an increasing trend of inefficiency has been observed in leather processing industries. This is perhaps a reflection of firm level weaknesses associated with mediocre product design, use of backward machines, limited international exposure and passive reaction to competitive products. Thus, both tanneries and leather processing industries ought to firmly work in addressing their weaknesses and accustom themselves with the challenges of the changing global environment. Government should also play its supportive role in terms of ensuring a fairly competitive domestic market, providing market and technology related information, supporting trainings, and minimizing transaction costs related to the provision of its services.

Redescription. Proximal three quarters of stridulatory file of male left tegmen with 68 distinct teeth gradually becoming larger centrad (Fig. 1A). Proximal one third part of mirror of male right tegmen covered by pronotum (Fig. 2A).
Female ovipositor robust (1.9 mm wide in middle), twice as long as pronotum, with moderately recurved apical half (about 15º angle) (Fig. 7E). Proximal one third of ovipositor narrowed from base, remainder of equal width, with upper margin slightly obliquely truncate in apex.
 Notes. One male paratype collected from Haichou, Kiangsu province is not A. kulingensis. It is possible that Tinkham (1941) possessed only one male specimen which had male cerci that resembled those of A. kulingensis. Actually, A. kulingensis distinctly differs from the material from Haichou, Kiangsu province by shape of the pronotum and ovipositor (see below).
Distribution. China (Jiangxi).

description: A question of fundamental biological significance is to what extent the expression of a subset of genes can be used to recover the full transcriptome, with important implications for biological discovery and clinical application. To address this challenge, we propose two novel deep learning methods, PMI and GAIN-GTEx, for gene expression imputation. In order to increase the applicability of our approach, we leverage data from GTEx v8, a reference resource that has generated a comprehensive collection of transcriptomes from a diverse set of human tissues. We show that our approaches compare favorably to several standard and state-of-the-art imputation methods in terms of predictive performance and runtime in two case studies and two imputation scenarios. In comparison conducted on the protein-coding genes, PMI attains the highest performance in inductive imputation whereas GAIN-GTEx outperforms the other methods in in-place imputation. Furthermore, our results indicate strong generalization on RNA-Seq data from 3 cancer types across varying levels of missingness. Our work can facilitate a cost-effective integration of large-scale RNA biorepositories into genomic studies of disease, with high applicability across diverse tissue types.

description: GW approximation is used to systematically revisit the image-potential band-gap narrowing at metal/semiconductor interfaces proposed by Inkson in the 1970's. Here we have questioned how the narrowing as calculated from quasi-particle energy spectra for the jellium/Si interface depends on $r_s$ of the jellium. The gap narrowing is found to only weakly depend on $r_s$ (i.e., narrowing $\simeq 0.3$ eV even for a large $r_s = 6)$. Hence we can turn to smaller polarizability in the semiconductor side as an important factor in looking for larger narrowing.

description: The livestock sector plays an important role for livelihoods and economic security of farmers and rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. The sector contributes about 25 percent of total agricultural GDP and about 11 percent of national GDP of Ethiopia. However, much has not been done to improve performance of the sector, especially indigenous genetic resources that are at risk. The paper develops a Policy Analysis Matrix to examine the profitability and competitiveness of indigenous Horo cattle production in the Western Showa in Ethiopia. We employ multi-stage probability sampling techniques in selecting 150 farmers for interview. We then employ partial sensitivity analyses with various scenarios to assess the impacts of each policy strategy. The results show that both private and social profits from indigenous cattle production are positive; implying that indigenous Horo cattle production is profitable and competitive for livestock keepers in particular for the country at large. The domestic resource cost coefficient, private cost ratio, effective protection coefficient and profitability coefficient values also indicate a comparative advantage of indigenous Horo cattle production in the country. Policy recommendations for improved conservation, management and sustainable use of indigenous animal genetic resources are provided.
Maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing in an SU(5) model

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We show that maximal atmospheric and large solar neutrino mixing can be implemented in SU(5) gauge theories, by making use of the $U(1)_F$ symmetry associated with a suitably defined family number $F$, together with a $\mathbbm{Z}_2$ symmetry which does not commute with $F$. $U(1)_F$ is softly broken by the mass terms of the right-handed neutrino singlets, which are responsible for the seesaw mechanism; in addition, $U(1)_F$ is also spontaneously broken at the electroweak scale. In our scenario, lepton mixing stems exclusively from the right-handed-neutrino Majorana mass matrix, whereas the CKM matrix originates solely in the up-type-quark sector. We show that, despite the non-supersymmetric character of our model, unification of the gauge couplings can be achieved at a scale $10^{16} \mathrm{GeV} < m_U < 10^{19} \mathrm{GeV}$; indeed, we have found a particular solution to this problem which yields results almost identical to the ones of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.

description: The $B^0$-$\bar B^0$ oscillation frequency has been measured with a sample of 23 million $\B\bar B$ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. In this sample, we select events in which both B mesons decay semileptonically and use the charge of the leptons to identify the flavor of each B meson. A simultaneous fit to the decay time difference distributions for opposite- and same-sign dilepton events gives $Δm_d = 0.493 \pm 0.012{(stat)}\pm 0.009{(syst)}$ ps$^{-1}$.
