bioassay protocol standardization

description: To enhance the reproducibility and usability of bioassays in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) associated antibacterial drug discovery and development, there is an increasing need for standardisation of bioassay metadata into machine-readable formats. Such a standardisation process requires mapping bioassay data to standard ontologies and can be performed at the study result output and protocol levels. At the result output level, general ontologies such as the BioAssay Ontology (BAO) already exist. Still, antibacterial drug discovery and AMR-specific ontologies that can aid in the standardisation process at the protocol level are missing. Hence, we propose a new application-specific ontology that will enable researchers to convert unstructured bioassay protocol data into structured machine-readable formats thereby promoting their overall reusability.

Educational evaluation

description: Over the past two decades the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has become an influential actor in the education sector. This has been accomplished, partly, by the administration of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) since 2000. Overall, PISA is intended to inform the public, parents, teachers, and those who run education systems of the status of education in their country. Research shows that policymakers draw on PISA results when they launch and design education reforms. To date, however, we know very little about whether PISA is successfully informing the general public, which is the main sponsor and benefactor of PISA. Using public opinion surveys from the United States and Israel, this chapter examines knowledge and perception of PISA. Recent reports suggest that both countries are in the middle ranks of all countries participating in PISA, with the United States being in the middle ranks of OECD countries and Israel be! ing in the lower ranks of this group. Findings from public opinion surveys reveal three interesting patterns. First, in both countries, the public tend to underestimate how well 15-year-olds perform on international standardized tests. Second, college graduates are more likely than those with less education to underestimate the performance of teens on international standardized tests. Third, although the public seems to be misinformed about PISA results, we find considerable public support for PISA and international standardized tests more generally. Implications of the findings for policy and future research in the field of international and comparative education are discussed.

We have used the recently demonstrated technique of controlling the spatial characteristics of the down-conversion process via intermodal dispersion to generate photon pairs in fundamental transverse modes, thus ensuring their spatial indistinguishability. Good spatial overlap of photon modes within pairs has been verified using the Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer and the preparation of polarization entanglement in the Shih-Alley configuration, yielding visibilities consistently above 90%.

description: The passing of Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (2009) provides a new policy context and a new series of opportunities to strengthening the quality dimensions of primary education in India. The Act further reinforces the suggestions made by the National Curriculum Framework of 2005. Given the recent developments where new provisions are put into place for revision of textbooks, teacher recruitment and training, student assessment and tracking, and so on, we hope that this study contributes to the understanding of district-level concerns pertaining to public primary textbooks and the wider curriculum approach. This working paper is second in the series of three research studies conducted under MDEP’s first year’s commitment to understand and analyze the primary education scenario in the two districts. The purpose of this paper is to present the findings of empirical research to study the key gaps and challenges in the policies and practices pertaining to curriculum in public primary schools in our two districts of Morigaon, Assam and Medak, Andhra Pradesh. The paper concludes with a list of recommendations to the local governments and education authorities that it has derived from an assimilation of findings from different sources. It encourages the local departments of education to view educational needs of their region through an integrated approach. It encourages the local offices to partner with other actors in the field to better understand educational quality and achievement and its determining factors: student health and nutrition, textbook design, teacher training, school participation, district level education and budget planning, school environment, and monitoring and evaluation.

description: Providing at-scale, high-quality public health services in rural India is one of the country’s greatest challenges. In 2005 the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), Government of India, launched its flagship programme the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) to improve rural access to quality primary health care. At the request of the MOHFW, the Earth Institute, Columbia University, has been convening an International Advisory Panel (IAP)1 that meets biannually to review NRHM progress, and the panel conducted a mid-term evaluation of the NRHM in 2009. The evaluation demonstrated that coverage of high-priority interventions remains inadequate, the quality of programming is insufficient, efficient management and governance is lagging, and deeprooted inequities further complicate delivery and uptake (Paul et al. 2011, Bajpai et al. 2009). The MOHFW and the IAP determined that efforts required to strengthen health systems towards meeting health Millennium Development Goals before 2015 would best be piloted and scaled-up as regional models, given India’s size and the wide variances in health system performance, disease burden, and socio-cultural, political, and economic contexts.

description: In the years since the introduction of liberalizing market reforms in China and India, both countries have experienced rapid and sustained economic growth even as they have struggled with a simultaneous surge in economic and social inequality. This working paper traces the evolution of the post-reform growth in inequality and demonstrates the pervasive influence of location in determining and entrenching a spatial pattern to the deepening divides in each country. Though the centrality of location serves as a common link between China and India, the unique reform experiences of each country have led to distinct outcomes. Specifically, the paper illustrates how in China the spatial pattern of inequality stems from the divide between the interior western provinces and the rapidly growing coastal provinces, whereas in India the disparity is more apparent between urban and rural areas. The analysis outlines how policy choices in agriculture, hard infrastructure, soft infrastructure, migration and industry have affected income inequality and how these inequalities have manifested. In China, the export-led growth strategy employed after market-reforms has allowed the country to capitalize on its expansive coastline, resulting in a rapid rise in disparity between coastal and interior provinces coupled with rapid economic growth. Similarly, in India a booming service sector in the post-liberalization era allowed for a disproportionate increase in the importance and growth of urban centers at the expense of rural areas. While location alone cannot explain the post-reform experience of China and India, geographical factors underlie many of the forces which have driven the disparity. While this analysis is inherently context-specific and requires nuanced enquiry on a local level, the implications of this discussion are global in scope. The paper concludes with several questions which require a more inclusive exploration. Does the Chinese case provide evidence that regional inequalities, particularly those that result from geographical factors, are a necessary evil of growth and globalization? What lessons can India take from the growth experience of other nations, and in turn, what lessons can it provide? These questions, and others, may serve as the basis for a larger, multi-faceted and multi-sited project on global inequality.

description: We consider a family of linear operators, diagonalized by the Hankel transform. The Fredholm determinants of these operators, restricted to $L_2[0, R]$, are expressed in a convenient form for asymptotic analysis as $R\to\infty$. The result is an identity, in which the determinant is equal to the leading asymptotic multiplied by an asymptotically small factor, for which an explicit formula is derived. We apply the result to the determinantal point process with the Bessel kernel, calculating the speed of the convergence of additive functionals with respect to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov metric.

description: The lack of availability of specialist services, due to both a shortage of specialist doctors in appropriate locations (specifically in the fields of paediatrics, anaesthesia, and obstetrics) and poor infrastructure or management practices, is a pervasive concern throughout rural India. Many strategies have been employed to combat this issue both in India and abroad, including a) attempting to increase the number of specialist training vacancies, b) providing incentives to attract and retain specialists, c) initiating compulsory rural postings, d) engaging in public/private partnerships, e) providing supplementary training to medical officers, f) task-shifting specialist services to nurses, g) creating new cadres of health professionals, and h) using information communication technologies to fill the gap. Primary research in this study first attempts to examine the contributing factors to the low availability of specialist services within the local context of the ten surveyed districts and from stateand nation-wide insights. Data indicates that the key causal factors are insufficient number of sanctioned positions, private sector pull from public sector human resources, inappropriate location postings of specialist doctors, absenteeism, lack of confidence, and poor infrastructure. The problem is multifaceted, spanning human resource and governance issues. During primary research, through qualitative discussions with 394 respondents in total, the viability and benefit of potential mitigating strategies were explored. Several ideas, such as creating new cadres of professionals, re-hiring retired specialists, engaging visiting doctors from higher level facilities, task shifting, and mobile camps were deemed either unsuccessful in the past or not desirable for the future. Based on assimilation of findings from literature and primary research, a set of eight recommendations are put forth in this paper for consideration as strategies to improve the availability of specialist services in rural India. These strategies are discussed in detail in the paper and are outlined below:

description: Key considerations in the availability of skilled birth attendance will be a critical component in national efforts towards ensuring universal health coverage in India. This paper aims to examine opportunities for strengthening skilled birth attendance at the primary level by (a) exploring relevant models of rural primary and community-level skilled attendance, both India and internationally, that have achieved positive health outcomes; (b) assessing the current skilled birth attendance coverage in India and means to achieving greater coverage of skilled attendance and enhanced linkages in the continuum of care; and (c) recommending opportunities and required investment for scaling-up skilled attendance within NRHM. Our primary research highlights immediate requirements for more targeted systems strengthening, particularly for sub-centres that can provide intranatal care, and for PHCs depending on their delivery caseload and accessibility to other referral facilities. This requires significantly more strategic planning at the district level, and creating or reinforcing full-time support structures that can focus on quality assurance of care, including training and skills development, facility quality management, and linkages between care providers

description: We evaluate the exact energy current and scaled cumulant generating function (related to the large-deviation function) in non-equilibrium steady states with energy flow, in any integrable model of relativistic quantum field theory (IQFT) with diagonal scattering. Our derivations are based on various recent results of D. Bernard and B. Doyon. The steady states are built by connecting homogeneously two infinite halves of the system thermalized at different temperatures $T_l$, $T_r$, and waiting for a long time. We evaluate the current $J(T_l,T_r)$ using the exact QFT density matrix describing these non-equilibrium steady states and using Al.B. Zamolodchikov's method of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA). The scaled cumulant generating function is obtained from the extended fluctuation relations which hold in integrable models. We verify our formula in particular by showing that the conformal field theory (CFT) result is obtained in the high-temperature limit. We analyze numerically our non-equilibrium steady-state TBA equations for three models: the sinh-Gordon model, the roaming trajectories model, and the sine-Gordon model at a particular reflectionless point. Based on the numerics, we conjecture that an infinite family of non-equilibrium $c$-functions, associated to the scaled cumulants, can be defined, which we interpret physically. We study the full scaled distribution function and find that it can be described by a set of independent Poisson processes. Finally, we show that the "additivity" property of the current, which is known to hold in CFT and was proposed to hold more generally, does not hold in general IQFT, that is $J(T_l,T_r)$ is not of the form $f(T_l)-f(T_r)$.

description: India has witnessed several monumental changes in the field of Elementary education in the last decade. The ratification of the Right of Child to Free and Compulsory Education Act in 2009 changed the policy landscape and opened up avenues for different stakeholders to have a series of opportunities to strengthen the quality dimensions of primary education in India. However, given the enormity of the task much remains to be done to improve the quality of in-service teacher training in rural India. The paper represents an amalgamation of different viewpoints of teachers, cluster resource coordinators, resource persons, and staff members from district and state level offices of SSA, DIET, Department of Education and SCERT, on the challenges and opportunities usually associated with the in-service teacher trainings in public primary schools. The research methodology employed for this papers follows the mixed-method design, combining qualitative data from individual interviews (n=16) and focus group discussions (n=20), and observations with a cross-sectional survey of a random sample of primary school teachers (n=789) in the two districts. To guide this research, the following research objectives were identified: 1. To understand the role of teacher training in the existing pedagogic practices present in schools 2. To analyze the co-relation between the textbooks, and teacher training, and student learning in Assam and Andhra Pradesh 3. To explore ways to revamp the existing in-service teacher training programs in Assam and Andhra Pradesh so as to better support the teaching learning processes at schools.

description: Background: Xor-genotype is a cost-effective alternative to the genotype sequence of an individual. Recent methods developed for haplotype inference have aimed at finding the solution based on xor-genotype data. Given the xor-genotypes of a group of unrelated individuals, it is possible to infer the haplotype pairs for each individual with the aid of a small number of regular genotypes. Results: We propose a framework of maximum parsimony inference of haplotypes based on the search of a sparse dictionary, and we present a greedy method that can effectively infer the haplotype pairs given a set of xor-genotypes augmented by a small number of regular genotypes. We test the performance of the proposed approach on synthetic data sets with different number of individuals and SNPs, and compare the performances with the state-of-the-art xor-haplotyping methods PPXH and XOR-HAPLOGEN. Conclusions: Experimental results show good inference qualities for the proposed method under all circumstances, especially on large data sets. Results on a real database, CFTR, also demonstrate significantly better performance. The proposed algorithm is also capable of finding accurate solutions with missing data and/or typing errors.
Supergravity-matter actions in three dimensions and Chern-Simons terms

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study off-shell N-extended Yang-Mills multiplets coupled to conformal supergravity in three spacetime dimensions. Superform formulations are presented for the non-Abelian Chern-Simons actions in the cases N=1, 2, 3, and the corresponding component actions are explicitly worked out. Such a Chern-Simons action does not exist for N=4. In the latter case, a superform formulation is given for the BF term that describes the coupling of two Abelian vector multiplets with self-dual and anti-self-dual superfield strengths respectively. The superform results obtained are used to construct linear multiplet action principles in the cases N=2, 3, 4. The N=3 and N=4 actions are demonstrated to be universal in the sense that all known off-shell supergravity-matter systems (with the exception of pure conformal supergravity) may be described using such an action. Starting from the N=3 and N=4 Abelian vector multiplets, we also construct composite O(2) multiplets which are analogues of the four-dimensional construction of an N=2 reduced chiral scalar engineered from the improved tensor multiplet. Using these composites, we present the superfield equations of motion for N=3 and N=4 anti-de Sitter and topologically massive supergravity theories. We also sketch the construction of a large family of higher derivative couplings for N=3 and N=4 vector multiplets.

description: Adding a ball band in your lawn is the least difficult approach to change the patio into a game zone. With a little inventiveness and adjustment, a ball court can be changed into an individual desert garden. Continuously at home basketball court directly close to the pool can be probably the most ideal approaches to twofold the good times. Our innovation empowers us to assemble the most progressive games court surfaces that are simple on the joints. They have exact ball ricochet and essentially diminish sound decibels. An incredible method to urge the children to head outside and be actually dynamic is to introduce an open-air ball court. It gives the occasion to families and individuals of any age together to shoot a few bands. Our ground surface tiles have low upkeep, elite, and are a modest and versatile answer for all areas. With numerous long periods of involvement, we are best at planning and introducing b-ball courts. Our gathering of sports court contractual workers works intimately with our customers to furnish them with a custom ball court.

description: Sexual violence during the Bosnian War (1992-1995) and the Rwandan genocide (1994) has been analyzed thoroughly, but limited attention has been paid to how sexual violence differed in these two conflicts and why. This will be investigated by doing a comparative analysis. Kirby’s modes of feminist analysis will be used as framework, and attention will be paid to the relationship between the construction of ethnic and gender identities and particular forms of sexual violence. It will be demonstrated that forced impregnation characterized Bosnian sexual violence, whilst mutilation of female body parts and murder after rape were prominent in Rwanda. I argue that this can be explained by looking at how these forms of sexual violence were the result of mythology and shared beliefs and were being used by ethnic leaders to re-construct ethnic and gender identities to serve their own political objectives. Because these myths, identity constructions and leader objectives were different in Bosnia and Rwanda, the forms of sexual violence were as well.

description: A complete uncertainty analysis on a given fringe projection set-up has been performed using Monte-Carlo approach. In particular the calibration procedure is taken into account. Two applications are given: at a macroscopic scale, phase noise is predominant whilst at microscopic scale, both phase noise and calibration errors are important. Finally, uncertainty found at macroscopic scale is close to some experimental tests (~100 μm).
Charge transfer satellites in x-ray spectra of transition metal oxides

description: Strongly correlated materials such as transition metal oxides (TMOs) often exhibit large satellites in their x-ray photoemission (XPS) and x-ray absorption spectra (XAS). These satellites arise from localized charge-transfer (CT) excitations that accompany the sudden creation of a core hole. Here we use a two-step approach to treat such excitations in a localized system embedded in a condensed system and coupled to a photoelectron. The total XAS is then given by a convolution of a spectral function representing the localized excitations and the XAS of the extended system. The local system is modeled roughly in terms of a simple three-level model, leading to a double-pole approximation for the spectral function that represents dynamically weighted contributions from the dominant neutral and charge-transfer excitations. This method is implemented using a resolvent approach, with potentials, radial wave-functions and matrix elements from the real-space Green's function code FEFF, and parameters fitted to XPS experiments. Representative calculations for several TMOs are found to be in reasonable agreement with experiment.
Demystifying Employment Authorization and Prosecutorial Discretion in Immigration Cases

description: On November 20, 2014, President Barack Obama announced a series of immigration programs aimed to reform the immigration system. Deferred Action for Parents of Americans or Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and extended Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) represent two such programs announced by the President. Both programs extend deferred action (one form of prosecutorial discretion) to qualifying individuals. Deferred action has been part of the immigration system for more than 50 years, and has been named explicitly by Congress, federal courts, and the agencies responsible for administering immigration laws. Additionally, regulations list deferred action as one basis for work authorization. The President’s deferred action programs offered room for a healthy debate about immigration law and policy. The debate was intensified by a lawsuit brought by the state of Texas and 25 other states challenging the deferred action programs, and a subsequent judicial opinion enjoining these programs. Much of the tension has centered on the ability for a deferred action grantee to obtain ancillary benefits like employment authorization or lawful presence. This conflict has enabled great distortion about the limits and benefits of prosecutorial discretion in immigration law. In this Article, I seek to clarify the relationship between prosecutorial discretion and employment authorization and describe the historical precedent for allowing qualifying noncitizens to apply for work authorization based on a prosecutorial discretion grant. I also examine the policy questions that are raised by the current legal framework and policy for work authorization. My methodology for this Article is to review the primary and secondary sources of law for prosecutorial discretion and employment authorization; analyze a related data set of more than 200,000 work authorization applications processed by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services retrieved through the Freedom of Information Act; and begin a policy discussion on the benefits of enabling prosecutorial discretion beneficiaries to be authorized to work in the United States. This Article is the first to analyze the law and policy of employment authorization and prosecutorial discretion and builds naturally from my body of work developed on the role of immigration prosecutorial discretion generally, and deferred action in particular.
Stability of the Einstein static universe in Einstein-Cartan theory

description: The existence and stability of the Einstein static solution have been built in the Einstein-Cartan gravity. We show that this solution in the presence of perfect fluid with spin density satisfying the Weyssenhoff restriction is cyclically stable around a center equilibrium point. Thus, study of this solution is interesting because it supports non-singular emergent cosmological models in which the early universe oscillates indeterminately about an initial Einstein static solution and is thus past eternal.

description: The progress of modern technologies has conditioned the development of new, multifunctional systems, which contain a large number of integrated functions. Multifunctional systems (mechanical, fluidic, electromechanical, thermal, etc.) are miniaturized in order to obtain portable multiple-use devices. In the 1980s, this research resulted in a new field known as MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems). With the development of this area, a variety of applications evolved in chemical, biological, and biomedical research when fluid manipulation led to the separation of a new discipline – microfluidics.
 The subject of microfluidics is the manipulation of small amounts of liquid in one or more microchannels. Modern microfluidics grows into a Laboratory-On-Chip (LOC) concept because it integrates a large number of functions – from fluid mixing, particle separation, DNA amplification, use of biosensors to additional electronics, and detection optics. At the microscale, the physics of laminar flow enables prediction and precise manipulation in the microfluidic system. Small amounts of samples and reagents significantly reduce the costs, and therefore, microfluidics found an important application in Point-Of-Care Testing (POCT).

description: In France, 50% of the population per year is suffering from low back pain. Lumbar belt are frequently proposed as a part of the treatment of this pathology. However mechanical ways of working of this medical device is not clearly understood, but abdominal pressure is often related. So an optical method was developed in this study to measure strain in lumbar belt and trunk interface and to derive a pressure estimation. Optical method consisted of coupling fringe projection and digital image correlation (DIC). Measurement has been carried out on the right side of a manikin wearing a lumbar belt. Average strain is 0.2 and average pressure is 1 kPa. Continuation of this study will be comparison of strain and pressure in different areas of lumbar belt (left side, front and back) and comparison of different lumbar belts. Results will be used in a finite elements model to determine lumbar belt impact in intern body. In long term, this kind of study will be done on human.
Atlas of siliceous hot spring deposits (sinter) and other silicified surface manifestations in epithermal environmnets
Publisher: name: GNS Science
Year: 2019

description: Sinters, or siliceous hot spring deposits, are the terrestrial surface expressions of predominately low sulphidation epithermal systems. Sinter deposits form at the intersection of the water table and the Earth’s surface, where near-neutral pH alkali-chloride thermal fluids, oversaturated in silica, are expelled and chemically precipitate hydrothermal minerals and amorphous silica on biotic and abiotic surfaces. The silica precipitate has been observed in Archean to present day settings as bedded, erosion-resistant sinter mounds and sheet deposits, metres to tens of metres thick and exhibiting a variety of sedimentary lithofacies. Lithofacies of siliceous sinter are produced by thermophilic microbes, and other taxa, that flourish along gradients of pH geothermal fluid flow rate, fluid composition and temperature (from ~100 °C to ambient). Physicochemical processes relevant to the depositional environment also may be indicated, such as wetting-drying cycles, interaction with local water bodies and seasonality. In particular, the decrease in temperature by cooling and evaporation with distance from the spring vent source area produces a predictable bio- and lithofacies gradient that is recorded in the sinter chemical precipitate. Sinter lithofacies also may archive indications of the relative volume of spring discharge as well as its flow direction. Identification of sinter lithofacies in the geologic record allows their differentiation from other silicified features often misconstrued as sinter. This report, in the style of a comparative, visual and descriptive atlas, describes siliceous sinter lithofacies from vent and proximal slope (~100–65 °C) through middle and distal apron areas (~65–30 °C), to the commonly widespread, geothermally influenced marshes (tepid to ambient). Geometry, thickness and textures of sinters also are utilised to help infer the formational environment, temperature, relative fluid volume, flow direction and lateral extent of each of the lithofacies. These characteristics together can be used to pinpoint geothermal up-flow areas, identify more distal outflow areas and assist in characterising a geothermal system, thus potentially aiding delineation of zones of epithermal mineralisation. Furthermore, other silicified volcanic and sedimentary deposits may exhibit textures that are similar to sinter and which have been misidentified as such. These are known as pseudosinters. A variety of pseudosinters common in epithermal surface environments also are described here to aid recognition and distinction of pseudosinter and sinter. Such differentiation may enhance the potential for identifying vectors to epithermal up-flow, and for characterising extremophile (paleo)communities preserved within these extreme (paleo)environments throughout the geologic record.
