description: Realizou-se uma caracterização da cadeia produtiva da borracha do Brasil, considerando-se três elos principais: a produção agrícola (seringueira), a produção de látex e seu beneficiamento. O Brasil responde atualmente por 1% da produção mundial de látex, sendo importador do produto. A crescente produção no estado de São Paulo com melhores condições edafoclimáticas pode alterar este cenário. Analisou-se o valor necessário para investimentos para implementação de seringais, a forma de fixação de preços da borracha natural e do látex. Procedeu-se ao levantamento de dados primários e entrevistas com agentes do setor para identificar os principais gargalos para a expansão da atividade.. Observou-se que o custo de implantação de um hectarede seringueira, incluindo o cumprimento de legislação específica chega a R$ 6.000,00, que é difícil de ser arcado pelos pequenos produtores, considerando-se a ausência de linhas de crédito oficiais compatíveis com o retorno da atividade. No que refere à formação de preços, observou-se que a legislação pertinente e os acordos entre os intervenientes especifica que os preços pagos são ajustados aos valores do látex importado. Deste modo, os preços nacionais estão alinhados com o mercado internacional, e sofrem o impacto da taxa de câmbio. Praticamente 70% do preço fica com o produtor de látex e 30% com a indústria beneficiadora, conforme entendimento entre os agentes da cadeia produtiva. As perspectivas são positivas do lado da demanda, de modo que há uma clara necessidade de maior produção, que dependerá da superação dos gargalos apresentados. As linhas de crédito recém constituídas exigem requisitos de difícil cumprimento por parte dos produtores (tais como a constituição de reserva ambiental de 20% do total da área, fato que reduz a rentabilidade da cultura). Outra necessidade levantada pelos agentes é a equiparação da seringueira com árvore de reflorestamento, que solucionaria o problema de acesso às linhas de crédito. Quanto às usinas de látex verificou-se da mesma forma a necessidade de giro e instrumentos de comercialização, como EGF, o que as possibilitaria a formação de estoques para venda em períodos mais vantajosos. As usinas beneficiadoras, que dependem de investimentos, capital de giro e recursos de comercialização, cada vez mais tornam-se obsoletas e financeiramente inviáveis, e também requerem linhas de crédito apropriadas.

description: Student software development projects, an essential part of Software Engineering education, offer practical experience but often present challenges for students, such as learning new technologies and team coordination, which can affect motivation and productivity. This thesis explores using gamification to boost student motivation and productivity in Scrum-based projects through a tool called DinoDev. Designed based on a user and requirements analysis, DinoDev was implemented and tested with seven undergraduate students, showing a slight increase in self-reported motivation and sprint velocity. However, the findings are limited by the small sample size and participants’ inexperience, indicating the need for further research.

description: A reciprocal LASSO (rLASSO) regularization employs a decreasing penalty function as opposed to conventional penalization approaches that use increasing penalties on the coefficients, leading to stronger parsimony and superior model selection relative to traditional shrinkage methods. Here we consider a fully Bayesian formulation of the rLASSO problem, which is based on the observation that the rLASSO estimate for linear regression parameters can be interpreted as a Bayesian posterior mode estimate when the regression parameters are assigned independent inverse Laplace priors. Bayesian inference from this posterior is possible using an expanded hierarchy motivated by a scale mixture of double Pareto or truncated normal distributions. On simulated and real datasets, we show that the Bayesian formulation outperforms its classical cousin in estimation, prediction, and variable selection across a wide range of scenarios while offering the advantage of posterior inference. Finally, we discuss other variants of this new approach and provide a unified framework for variable selection using flexible reciprocal penalties. All methods described in this paper are publicly available as an R package at: https://github.com/himelmallick/BayesRecipe.

Determination of the Coherence Length and the Cooper-Pair Size in Unconventional Superconductors by Tunnelling Spectroscopy

description: The main purpose of the paper is to discuss a possibility of the determination of the values of the coherence length and the Cooper-pair size in unconventional superconductors by using tunnelling spectroscopy. In the mixed state of type-II superconductors, an applied magnetic field penetrates the superconductor in the form of vortices which form a regular lattice. In unconventional superconductors, the inner structure of a vortex core has a complex structure which is determined by the order parameter of the superconducting state and by the pairing wavefunction of the Cooper pairs. In clean superconductors, the spatial variations of the order parameter and the pairing wavefunction occur over the distances of the order of the coherence length and the Cooper-pair size, respectively. Therefore, by performing tunnelling spectroscopy along a line passing through a vortex core, one is able, in principle, to estimate the values of the coherent length and the Cooper-pair size.

description: We constrain X-ray spectral shapes for the ensemble of AGN based on the shape of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB). Specifically, we rule out regions of X-ray spectral parameter space that do not reproduce the CXB in the energy range 1-100 keV. The key X-ray spectral parameters are the photon index, Γ; the cutoff energy, Ecutoff; and the reflection scaling factor, R. Assuming each parameter follows a Gaussian distribution, we first explore the parameter space using a Bayesian approach and a fixed X-ray luminosity function (XLF). For σ_E = 36 keV and σ_R = 0.14, fixed at the observed values from the Swift-BAT 70-month sample, we allow , and to vary subject to reproducing the CXB. We report results for σ_Γ = 0.1-0.5. In an alternative approach, we define the parameter distributions, then forward model to fit the CXB by perturbing the XLF using a neural network. This approach allows us to rule out parameter combinations that cannot reproduce the CXB for any XLF. The marginalized conditional probabilities for the four free parameters are: = 0.99^{+0.11}_{-0.26}, = 118^{+24}_{-23}, σ_Γ = 0.101^{+0.097}_{-0.001} and = 1.9^{+0.08}_{-0.09}. We provide an interactive online tool for users to explore any combination of , σ_E, , σ_Γ, and σ_R including different distributions for each absorption bin, subject to the integral CXB constraint. The distributions observed in many AGN samples can be ruled out by our analysis, meaning these samples can not be representative of the full AGN population. The few samples that fall within the acceptable parameter space are hard X-ray-selected, commensurate with their having fewer selection biases.

description: The K-alpha resonance complexes in oxygen ions O I - O VI are theoretically computed and resonance oscillator strengths and wavelengths are presented. The highly resolved photoionization cross sections, with relativistic fine structure, are computed in the coupled channel approximation using the Breit-Pauli R-matrix method. A number of strong K-alpha resonances are found to be appreciable, with resonance oscillator strengths f_r > 0.1. The K-alpha resonance wavelengths of O I-O VI lie in a relatively narrow wavelength range 22 - 23.5 A, and the X-ray opacity in this region should therefore be significantly affected by K --> L transitions in oxygen. The results should be useful in the interpretation of soft X-ray spectra observed from Chandra and XMM-Newton.

description: Biological thiols, such as homocysteine, cysteine, and glutathione play key roles in physiological processes. However, due to the similarity of their structures and chemical properties, it has been a challenge to distinguish these compounds. In this work, a new fluorescent probe (E)-4-(4-(diethylamino)-2-((7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazol-4-yl)oxy) styryl)-1-methylpyridine iodide (Y-OH-NBD) is reported for the determination of cysteine. Based on the nucleophilic aromatic substitution and rearrangement cascade reaction, Y-OH-NBD was demonstrated to be a selective turn-on fluorescence probe for cysteine without interferences and probe consumption caused by high concentration of glutathione in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 containing 5% dimethyl sulfoxide. The Y-OH-NBD system determined cysteine with a response time of less than 5 min and a low limit of detection equal to 1.88 µM. Moreover, the probe showed low cytotoxicity and was conveniently applied to image intracellular cysteine in HeLa cells, indicating its significant potential biological applications.

Promoting Sleep Health Through Identification and Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Creators: name: Vuolo, Melissa
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

Background: There is a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in the United States, which left untreated can lead to increased cardiovascular risk. The current practice standard is to use a questionnaire to evaluate a patients’ sleep health, but this is not done regularly in every clinical setting. This DNP project aimed to bridge the gap in practice by implementing regular screening of obstructive sleep apnea in an urgent care center in Massachusetts. 
Methods: This DNP project was conducted by having adult patients complete the Epworth Sleepiness Scale to determine the presence of a sleep health issue. The patients then completed an additional survey to determine if they have been screened in the past, and their attitudes toward the screening. The urgent care manager provided the screening tool to patients based on the inclusion criteria of being 18 years or older and the ability to read/speak English.
Results:  Data was collected from 54 patients 18 years or older over a three-month period. Eleven were excluded because they had sleep apnea, were already being treated, or did not answer all questions of the survey. A total of 18 patients screen positive for sleep apnea with 88% of participants reporting not having been screened for sleep health issues prior to this screening and 72% of participants reporting the tool was beneficial and easy to complete.
Conclusion: Most people with sleep health issues in this urgent care clinic were not aware of their risk and had not been screened prior indicating a need for regular screening in Urgent Care practice settings. At this time the urgent care center will not be implementing a change in practice, but they are interested in the possibility and will consider implementing routine screening in the future.

description: Adding edges between layers of interconnected networks is an important way to optimize the spreading dynamics. While previous studies mostly focus on the case of adding a single edge, the theoretical optimal strategy for adding multiple edges still need to be studied. In this study, based on the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model, we investigate the problem of maximizing the stationary spreading prevalence in interconnected networks. For two isolated networks, we maximize the spreading prevalence near the critical point by choosing multiple interconnecting edges. We present a theoretical analysis based on the discrete-time Markov chain approach to derive the approximate optimal strategy. The optimal inter-layer structure predicted by the strategy maximizes the spreading prevalence, meanwhile minimizes the spreading outbreak threshold for the interconnected network simultaneously. Numerical simulations on synthetic and real-world networks show that near the critical point, the proposed strategy gives better performance than connecting large degree nodes and randomly connecting.

description: A simple and selective emulsification microextraction (EME) method in conjunction with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) is reported for the preconcentration of palladium ions in aqueous solution. In this approach, N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-N-phenylthiourea (CFPT) was synthesized for the first time for the complexation of metal ions including manganese, nickel, cadmium, cobalt, copper, gold, lead, palladium, iron, zinc, aluminum, and chromium and platinum with the microextraction method. The new CFPT ligand provided excellent selectivity toward Pd2+ ions in highly acidic conditions. The formation of a palladium hydrophobic compound with the new synthesized ligand was extracted into chloroform by shaking a model solution for a few seconds. The cloudy solution was centrifuged and the organic phase containing Pd2+ was diluted with nitric acid and transferred for the monitoring of the palladium absorbance by FAAS. Under the optimum conditions, the linearity (R2 = 0.9986) was in the range from 10 to 1000 µg L−1 and the limit of detection was 2.28 µg L−1 for Pd2+. The developed EME-FAAS method was successfully applied for preconcentration and determination of Pd2+ in spiked samples such as well, stream, tap and sea water with good recoveries.

description: UiO-66-NH2 was synthesized in situ and analyzed as a reactive sorbent for nerve agent removal in the solid-state environment. UiO-66-NH2 had the smallest pore sizes, centered at 7 Å with added pores at 13 and 15 Å, indicating a hierarchically microporous structure. The in situ reaction was examined using phosphorus-31 solid state-magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (31P SS-MAS NMR) and further confirmed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results show that the nerve agents were decomposed via hydrolysis by UiO-66-NH2 and the overall rates were reduced for solid-phase reactions. Of the characterized components O-pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate (GD), N, N-dimethylphosphoramidocyanidate (GA), and O-ethyl S-diisopropylaminomethyl methylphosphonothioate (VX), GD was decomposed faster than GA and VX by UiO-66-NH2. Specifically, GD was decomposed to O-pinacolyl-methylphosphonic acid (PMPA) with a half-life of approximately 430 min in the presence of neat UiO-66-NH2. However, GA and VX were slowly hydrolyzed, forming reaction products such as ethylphosphate and dimethylphosphoramidic (DMPA) acid monoethylester from GA, and ethyl methylphosphonic acid (EMPA), methylphosphonic acid (MPA), and 2-(Diisopropylamino)ethyldisulfide (DES)2 from VX, respectively. This work describes the processes involved for these materials when they are deployed to protect against a nerve agent release, implying the practical application of UiO-66-NH2 for a broad range of filtration applications in the field.

In the presence of low N2 partial pressure, Fe(N) films showed a basic bcc a-Fe structure with a preferred (110) texture. A variation of in-plane magnetic anisotropy of the Fe(N) films was observed with the changing of N component. The evolution of in-plane anisotropy in the films was attributed to the directional order mechanism. Nitrogen atoms play an important role in refining the a-Fe grains and inducing uniaxial anisotropy.

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper studies the asymmetries of pulsar distributions relative to the Galactic plane in various Galactic longitudes. It is shown that the observed asymmetric distribution may be explained by the warped and flaring (i.e. increase of scale-height at the peripheries of the Galaxy) structure of the Galaxy. At the peripheries of the Galaxy, the amplitude of the warp, derived from these data, may be as high as nearly 1 kpc. The scale-height of the pulsar distribution increases exponentially from nearly 0.5 kpc to nearly 1 kpc while increasing the galactocentric distance from 5 kpc to 15 kpc. The warp and flare parameters derived from the pulsar data are compared with the stellar and gaseous warp and flare parameters of the Galaxy.

description: Words embedding (distributed word vector representations) have become an essential component of many natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as machine translation, sentiment analysis, word analogy, named entity recognition and word similarity. Despite this, the only work that provides word vectors for Hausa language is that of Bojanowski et al. [1] trained using fastText, consisting of only a few words vectors. This work presents words embedding models using Word2Vec's Continuous Bag of Words (CBoW) and Skip Gram (SG) models. The models, hauWE (Hausa Words Embedding), are bigger and better than the only previous model, making them more useful in NLP tasks. To compare the models, they were used to predict the 10 most similar words to 30 randomly selected Hausa words. hauWE CBoW's 88.7% and hauWE SG's 79.3% prediction accuracy greatly outperformed Bojanowski et al. [1]'s 22.3%.

description: We analyze 9 years of PASS 8 $\textit{Fermi}$-LAT data in the 60$-$500 MeV range and determine flux upper limits (UL) for 17 gamma-ray dark pulsars as a probe of axions produced by nucleon-nucleon Bremsstrahlung in the pulsar core. Using a previously published axion decay gamma-ray photon flux model for pulsars which relies on a high core temperature of 20 MeV, we improve the determination of the UL axion mass ($m_a$), at 95 percent confidence level, to 9.6 $\times$ 10$^{-3}$ eV, which is a factor of 8 improvement on previous results. We show that the axion emissivity (energy loss rate per volume) at realistic lower pulsar core temperatures of 4 MeV or less is reduced to such an extent that axion emissivity and the gamma-ray signal becomes negligible. We consider an alternative emission model based on energy loss rate per mass to allow $m_a$ to be constrained with $Fermi$-LAT observations. This model yields a plausible UL $m_a$ of 10$^{-6}$ eV for pulsar core temperature $

description: Desde o início da década de 1990, a Amazônia legal brasileira vem sendo palco da expansão do plantio de soja e da atuação de empresas esmagadoras de grãos. Nos últimos anos a logística instalada pelo complexo agroindustrial sojicultor, a partir de produtores, fornecedores de insumos, processadores de matérias primas, assume um caráter estratégico e promove o avanço de novas fronteiras agrícolas no interior da região. A abundância de terras agriculturáveis, juntamente com a facilidade de escoamento via transporte fluvial através dos rios que cortam a bacia amazônica para o oceano Atlântico e daí para mercados consumidores na América do Norte, Europa e Ásia, são elementos que chamam a atenção das grandes tradings internacionais, e de empresas nacionais, que visam o mercado interno, mas principalmente o agronegócio exportador. Esses grupos empresariais criam vínculos econômicos entre o espaço regional e o comércio internacional. Neste sentindo este artigo busca analisar o contexto mais geral desta discussão, discutindo o lugar estratégico da cadeia de soja no processo de inserção global do sistema agroalimentar brasileiro, mas centrado foco em dois estudos de caso na região amazônica: Santarém no Pará e Humaitá no Amazonas.

description: Abstract This paper studies the interaction between index insurance market and the rural credit market by investigating how the availability of index insurance affects borrowers' moral hazard behavior. Among different types of moral hazard problem in the credit market, we focuses on credit diversion, which occurs when borrowers violate loan contracts and use some or all of production loans for consumption purpose. We build a theoretical model to show that credit non-diverters are likely to benefit from and purchase index insurance, while credit diverters are not. For credit non-diverters, index insurance provides consumption smoothing and increases future income by preventing loan default. For credit diverters who are already implicitly insured by diverting credit from risky investments to consumption, index insurance increases their consumption risks and can even lower expected consumption level. The fundamental reason for the difference of the impact between credit diverters and non-diverters is that index insurance pays indemnities based on external indices rather than farmers' realized outcome. Therefore, the availability of index insurance encourages farmers to choose full investment of loans instead of credit diversion. To test these theoretical predictions empirically, we conducted a framed field experiment with 450 rural households in the north region of China. Coinciding with theoretical predictions, experimental results show that index insurance reduces the number of credit diverters by 75.8%. The treatment effect on credit diversion is heterogeneous across farmers depending on their risk preferences and ethical costs associated with violating loan contracts. The theoretical and empirical results have important policy implications for stimulating credit supply to agriculture and reducing credit rationing. They suggest that lenders can use index insurance as a signaling instrument to overcome information asymmetry in the credit market. Index insurance can be substituted for collateral requirements and lessen both quantity and risk rationing caused by collateral requirement.

description: Results from long-term experimental trials suggest that similar yields and lower costs are possible from organic compared with conventional field crop production, but there is little information about the relative costs and returns on commercial farms. This study examines the structure and profitability of field corn production using a nationwide survey of corn producers for 2010 that includes a targeted sample of organic growers. Propensity score matching was used to develop a sample of similar conventional and organic farms based on farm and operator characteristics. Treatment-effect models were estimated using the matched sample to isolate the effect of choosing the organic approach on various levels of corn production costs. The procedure accounts for the impact of both observable and unobservable variables on corn production costs.

description: The modern discourse on human rights concerns at its core the theory and practice of applying the principle of proportionality as a criterion for assessing restrictions imposed on individual rights and freedoms. Proportionality analysis is a process of practical reasoning, which helps courts to settle conflicts between the protection of constitutional rights and freedoms and other constitutional values, but it is also an element of a specific culture of court justifications. The book draws attention to the legitimizing function of proportionality analysis as a recognized judicial standard, which follows the adoption of a specific structure of rights, but should also result in the adoption of a specific structure of court justifications. The book presents conclusions on the role of particular elements of proportionality analysis that were based on qualitative and quantitative studies of the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland. These studies were aimed to answer the question of how to build a strong constitutional court whose authority will act as a brake on the executive and legislative powers, and at the same time to ensure its strong social legitimacy. One of the answers to this question points to the limiting role of proportionality analysis in the structure of justifications for court decisions.

description: Współczesny dyskurs o prawach człowieka dotyczy w istocie teorii i praktyki stosowania zasady proporcjonalności jako kryterium oceny dopuszczalności ograniczeń praw i wolności jednostki. Tytułowa analiza proporcjonalności to przede wszystkim proces rozumowania praktycznego, który pomaga sądom rozstrzygać konflikty miedzy ochroną konstytucyjnych praw i wolności a innych konstytucyjnych wartości, ale jest to także element tworzący określoną kulturę uzasadnień sądowych. Książka zwraca uwagę przede wszystkim na legitymizującą funkcję analizy proporcjonalności jako uznanego standardu orzeczniczego, który wynika z przyjęcia określonej struktury praw, a z którego ma wynikać określona struktura uzasadnień sądowych. Prezentowane rozważania na temat roli poszczególnych elementów analizy proporcjonalności zostały oparte na badaniach jakościowych i ilościowych orzecznictwa Trybunału Konstytucyjnego w Polsce. Rozważania te mają służyć odpowiedzi na pytanie o to, jak stworzyć silny sąd konstytucyjny, którego autorytet będzie działał hamująco na władzę wykonawczą i ustawodawczą, a jednocześnie zapewnić mu silną legitymację społeczną.

description: In this paper, the statistical distributions of the position and the size of the evaporating droplets after a cough are evaluated, thus characterizing the inherent stochasticity of respiratory releases due to turbulence. For that, ten independent realizations of a cough with realistic initial conditions and in a room at 20 °C and 40% relative humidity were performed with large eddy simulations and Lagrangian tracking of the liquid phase. It was found that although turbulence decreases far from the emitter, it results in large variations in the spatial distribution of the droplets. The total suspended liquid mass after 60 s from the cough is in good agreement with that estimated by a one-dimensional model accounting for settling and evaporation under quiescent conditions, while deposition times of droplets in the 10-100 μm range are found to vary significantly, reflected in the mass of liquid, and hence the virus content, potentially inhaled by a receptor. The high variability between events is due to the local fluctuations of temperature, humidity, and velocity on droplet evaporation and motion. The droplet distribution suggests that, in the absence of face coverings, an unprotected cough is not safe at 2 m away from the emitter even outdoors. The results indicate that mitigation measures, such as ventilation to address long-range transmission, can be based on the total suspended liquid content evaluated from reduced-order models. However, the large variability of viral content in the near field produces wide variations in estimates of risk; therefore, a stochastic approach is needed for evaluating short-range transmission risk.
