description: In the present paper, we introduce a new concept of convexity which is generated by a family of endomorphisms of an Abelian group. In Abelian groups equipped with a translation invariant metric, we define the boundedness, the norm, the measure of injectivity and the spectral radius of endomorphisms. Beyond the investigation of their properties, our first main goal is an extension of the celebrated Rådström Cancellation Theorem. Another result generalizes the Neumann Invertibility Theorem. Next we define the convexity of sets with respect to a family of endomorphisms and we describe the set-theoretical and algebraic structure of the class of such sets. Given a subset, we also consider the family of endomorphisms that make this subset convex and we establish the basic properties of this family. Our first main result establishes conditions which imply midpoint convexity. The next main result, using our extension of the Rådström Cancellation Theorem, presents further structural properties of the family of endomorphisms that make a subset convex.

description: We report the discovery of the first giant pulses from an extragalactic radio pulsar. Observations of PSR B0540-69 in the Large Magellanic Cloud made with the Parkes radio telescope at 1.38 GHz show single pulses with energy more than 5000 times that of the average pulse energy. This is only the second young pulsar, after the Crab, to show giant pulse emission. Similar to the Crab pulsar, the giant pulses occur in two distinct phase ranges and have significant arrival time jitter within these ranges. The location of the giant pulses appears to lag the peak of the (sinusoidal) X-ray profile by 0.37 and 0.64 phase, although absolute timing between the radio and X-ray data is not yet secure. The dispersion measure of the giant pulses is 146.5 pc/cc, in agreement with the detection of the pulsar at 0.64 GHz by Manchester et al. (1993). The giant pulses are scatter broadened at 1.4 GHz with an exponential scattering time of 0.4 ms and have an emission bandwidth of at least 256 MHz. In 8 hr of integration we have failed to detect any integrated flux density from the pulsar to a level of 13 microJy, assuming a duty cycle of 10%. This implies the spectral index between 0.64 and 1.38 GHz is steeper than -4.4.

description: The decision to purchase meat products is investigated across ethnic groups with data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Particularly, we emphasize the U.S. Hispanics markets since its population increased 43% in the 2000-2010 period. The determinants included socio-economic factors in Probit regressions. Income and household composition were characterized as the most significant determinants, however, the effects varied across ethnic groups. As such, ethnicity can be considered as a major factor influencing the decisions to purchase meat products. The findings can be used to develop marketing tactics to influence the purchasing behavior of ethnic groups.

description: Starting from several copies of bipartite noisy entangled states, we design a global and optimal local measurement-based protocol in one- and two-dimensional lattices by which any two or more prefix sites can be connected via entanglement. Production of bipartite as well as multipartite entangled states in a network is verified in a device independent way through the violation of Bell inequalities with two settings per site and with continuous range of settings. We also note that if the parties refuse to perform local measurements, the entanglement distribution scheme fails. We obtain critical values of noise allowed in the initial state so that the resulting output state show nonlocal correlation in different networks with arbitrary number of connections. We report that by employing our method, it is possible to create a Bell-violating multipartite entangled state from non-Bell violating bipartite states in an one-dimensional lattice with minimal coordination number being six. Such a feature of superadditivity in violation can also be observed in a triangular two dimensional lattice but not in a square lattice.

description: The gut microbiota seems to play a key role in tumorigenesis, across various hallmarks of cancer. Recent evidence suggests its potential use as a biomarker predicting drug response and adding prognostic information, generally in the context of immuno-oncology. In this review, we focus on the modulating effects of gut microbiota dysbiosis on various anticancer molecules used in practice, including cytotoxic and immune-modulating agents, primarily immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Pubmed/Medline-based literature search was conducted to find potential original studies that discuss gut microbiota as a prognostic and predictive biomarker for cancer therapy. We also looked at the US ClinicalTrials.gov website to find additional studies particularly ongoing human clinical trials. Sequencing of stool-derived materials and tissue samples from cancer patients and animal models has shown a significant enrichment of various bacteria such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Bacteroides fragilis were associated with resistant disease and poorer outcomes. Gut microbiota was also found to be associated with surgical outcomes and seems to play a significant role in anastomotic leak (ATL) after surgery mainly by collagen breakdown. However, this research field is just at the beginning and the current findings are not yet ready to change clinical practice.

description: Metabolism, transformation and dynamic changes of DNJ, 2-O-α-D-Gal-DNJ, fagomine, isofagomine and 4-O-β-d-Glc-fagomine from mulberry leaves in silkworms at different instars were observed. UPLC-Q/TOF-MS and UPLC-TQ/MS methods were adopted for qualitative and quantitative analysis respectively. Three species mulberry leaves were used to feed the silkworm as controls. By analyzing and comparing the content changes of DNJ, fagomine and their derivatives in silkworms and silkworm excrement at different instar, we revealed the dynamic changes, confirmed the enrichment effect of the polyhydroxy alkaloids by silkworm, and inferred the conversion process behind this effect. The experimental results indicated that DNJ and its derivatives turned into some intermediate substances in the metabolic process, and finally they converted back and the content increased. Fagomine and its derivatives interconverted into each other in the process, 4-O-β-d-Glc-fagomine transformed into fagomine, while fagomine transformed into isofagomine.

description: The 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and MyPyramid recommend eating a variety of vegetables and fruit; for vegetables, this recommendation is coupled with specific weekly serving recommendations. This study used a linear programming model to show the cost of increasing variety in fruit and vegetable consumption when meeting the Dietary Guidelines for Americans fruit and vegetable consumption recommendations with no within-group variety. Efficacy of efforts to promote increased dietary variety may be limited by economic disincentives associated with purchasing a greater variety of fruit and vegetables.

Both the [CII] and continuum are detected and spatially resolved. The [CII] line is ~1.5 times more extended than the continuum emission, showing an elongated and complex structure of approximately 3.2kpc x 6.4kpc. Two separate peaks are clearly seen (>6sigma each) in three 100 km/s width [CII] channel maps. The velocity field of the [CII] gas does not show evidence of a coherent rotation field but rather chaotic motion, reminiscent of an on-going merger.

description: The production of $D_s^-$ relative to $D_s^+$ as a function of $x_F $ with 600 GeV/c $Σ^-$ beam is measured in the interval $0.15 < x_F < 0.7$ by the SELEX (E781) experiment at Fermilab. The integrated charge asymmetries with 600 GeV/c $Σ^-$ beam ($0.53\pm0.06$) and $π^-$ beam ($0.06\pm0.11$) are also compared. The results show the $Σ^-$ beam fragments play a role in the production of $D_s^-$, as suggested by the leading quark model.

description: The objective of this study is to identify product characteristics that affect retail prices of fresh eggs. The study develops a hedonic price model to estimate implicit prices of product attributes of Korean fresh eggs. Then, the estimated shadow prices of attributes are used to identify a preference ranking of different levels of the same attribute and the relative importance of the attributes. The study uses store-level scanner data which include prices, sales quantities, and product attributes for all egg transactions for an entire one-year period. Unlike many earlier hedonic price models, the model developed in this study considers the potential effect of quantity sold in estimating implicit prices of attributes. Results suggest that sales quantity is one of important variables in hedonic price models, and therefore omitting the quantity variable could lead to a biased result, particularly when prices and sales vary widely across observations. Results also indicate that Korean consumers put a significantly high value on fertile, organic, free-range-feeding, and larger sized eggs, plus smaller package sizes. The findings could help both producers and retailers formulate better production and marketing strategies by focusing on these attributes.

description: Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) on pesticides and veterinary drugs in plant and animal products are established to promote food safety and animal and plant health. In practice, however, they are often accused of creating unnecessary trade barriers. The controversy is more prominent when a given MRL is stricter than the corresponding international standard developed by Codex. Using the score indices constructed by Li and Beghin (2012), we empirically assess the implications of stringency in MRLs in plant and animal products, relative to Codex levels, for Canadian and U.S. trade performance. We find little evidence that U.S. imports are influenced by domestic stringency or those imposed by its trading partners. However, U.S. exports are negatively affected by stringency in destination markets. Canada’s stringent MRLs facilitate its exports of plant and animal products and these exports do not seem to be impeded by MRL stringency in destination markets. Canada’s imports do not appear to be systematically influenced by either its own or its trading partners’ MRL stringency. We draw implications for the potential harmonization of MRLs between the two countries.

description: We previously identified a tight bidirectional phase coupling between the circadian clock and the cell cycle. To understand the role of the CLOCK/BMAL1 complex, representing the main positive regulator of the circadian oscillator, we knocked down Bmal1 or Clock in NIH3T33C mouse fibroblasts (carrying fluorescent reporters for clock and cell cycle phase) and analyzed timing of cell division in individual cells and cell populations. Inactivation of Bmal1 resulted in a loss of circadian rhythmicity and a lengthening of the cell cycle, originating from delayed G2/M transition. Subsequent molecular analysis revealed reduced levels of Cyclin B1, an important G2/M regulator, upon suppression of Bmal1 gene expression. In complete agreement with these experimental observations, simulation of Bmal1 knockdown in a computational model for coupled mammalian circadian clock and cell cycle oscillators (now incorporating Cyclin B1 induction by BMAL1) revealed a lengthening of the cell cycle. Similar data were obtained upon knockdown of Clock gene expression. In conclusion, the CLOCK/BMAL1 complex controls cell cycle progression at the level of G2/M transition through direct regulation of Cyclin B1 expression.

description: We extend the trade restrictiveness indices (TRIs) approach to the case of market failures and domestic regulations addressing them, in presence of arbitrary tariffs and other domestic price policy distortions. We focus on standard-like non-tariff measures (NTMs) affecting cost of production and potentially enhancing domestic demand by increasing product quality or reducing negative externalities. The impact of NTMs on trade is ambiguous depending on the relative strength of the supply cost and demand enhancing effects. We apply the framework to the NTM database of Kee, Nicita, and Olarreaga (2009) and derive ad valorem equivalents for NTMs and other policy distortions. These equivalents are then used to compute TRIs. 10% of the NTM ad valorem equivalents at the 6-digit level of the Harmonized System are negative indicating a net trade-enhancing effect of these NTMs in those sectors. Consequently, TRIs computed without a protectionist presumption are smaller than their constrained counterparts not allowing for trade enhancements effects of NTMs. Accounting for externalities and anti-protective effects significantly reduces the measure of trade policy restrictiveness for most countries.

description: We study the quantum critical behavior in an isotropic Fermi liquid in the vicinity of a zero-temperature density-wave transition at a finite wave vector q_c. We show that, near the transition, the Landau damping of the soft bosonic mode yields a crossover in the fermionic self-energy from Sigma(k,omega) ~ Sigma(k) to Sigma(k,omega) ~ Sigma(omega), where k and omega are momentum and frequency. Because of this self-generated locality, the fermionic effective mass diverges right at the quantum critical point, not before, i.e., the Fermi liquid survives up to the critical point.

description: Objective: Observational evidence suggests that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at increased risk for acute pancreatitis (AP) versus those without T2DM. A small number of AP events were reported in clinical trials of the sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor canagliflozin, though no imbalances were observed between treatment groups. This observational study evaluated risk of AP among new users of canagliflozin compared with new users of six classes of other antihyperglycemic agents (AHAs). Methods: Three US claims databases were analyzed based on a prespecified protocol approved by the European Medicines Agency. Propensity score adjustment controlled for imbalances in baseline covariates. Cox regression models estimated the hazard ratio of AP with canagliflozin compared with other AHAs using on-treatment (primary) and intent-to-treat approaches. Sensitivity analyses assessed robustness of findings. Results: Across the three databases, there were between 12,023–80,986 new users of canagliflozin; the unadjusted incidence rates of AP (per 1000 person-years) were between 1.5–2.2 for canagliflozin and 1.1–6.6 for other AHAs. The risk of AP was generally similar for new users of canagliflozin compared with new users of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, insulin, and other AHAs, with no consistent between-treatment differences observed across databases. Intent-to-treat and sensitivity analysis findings were qualitatively consistent with on-treatment findings. Conclusions: In this large observational study, incidence rates of AP in patients with T2DM treated with canagliflozin or other AHAs were generally similar, with no evidence suggesting that canagliflozin is associated with increased risk of AP compared with other AHAs.

description: Purpose: The aims of this study were (a) to assess the efficacy of the Vocabulary Acquisition and Usage for Late Talkers (VAULT) treatment and (b) to compare treatment outcomes for expressive vocabulary acquisition in late talkers in 2 conditions: 3 target words/90 doses per word per session versus 6 target words/45 doses per word per session.Method: We ran the treatment protocol for 16 sessions with 24 primarily monolingual English-speaking late talkers. We calculated a d score for each child, compared treatment to control effect sizes, and assessed the number of words per week children acquired outside treatment. We compared treatment effect sizes of children in the condition of 3 target words/90 doses per word to those in the condition of 6 target words/45 doses per word. We used Bayesian repeated-measures analysis of variance and Bayesian t tests to answer our condition-level questions.Results: With an average treatment effect size of almost 1.0, VAULT was effective relative to the no-treatment condition. There were no differences between the different dose conditions.Discussion: The VAULT protocol was an efficacious treatment that has the potential to increase the spoken vocabulary of late-talking toddlers and provides clinicians some flexibility in terms of number of words targeted and dose number, keeping in mind the interconnectedness of treatment parameters.

description: Iran is the major producer of pistachio nuts in the world. Iran dominated the international pistachio export markets until 1982, when a new competitor, the United States, emerged in the international markets. Currently, both Iran and the U.S. are major pistachio exporters to Japan. The empirical question being investigated in this study is whether the Japanese pistachio import market is best characterized by Cournot or Bertrand duopoly competition or some other form of game. In this research, using historical data on pistachio prices and quantity imported by Japan from Iran and the U.S., demand functions for these two main exporters are estimated. Considering two different strategic variables, quantity and price, full information maximum likelihood (FIML) resulted in different estimates. Normalized likelihood ratio statistics is used for the model comparison. Having proper game-specific nonlinear-equation restrictions enabled us to form six alternative models. The model that best fit the data was the Stackelberg model with US quantity leadership.

description: We previously identified a tight bidirectional phase coupling between the circadian clock and the cell cycle. To understand the role of the CLOCK/BMAL1 complex, representing the main positive regulator of the circadian oscillator, we knocked down Bmal1 or Clock in NIH3T33C mouse fibroblasts (carrying fluorescent reporters for clock and cell cycle phase) and analyzed timing of cell division in individual cells and cell populations. Inactivation of Bmal1 resulted in a loss of circadian rhythmicity and a lengthening of the cell cycle, originating from delayed G2/M transition. Subsequent molecular analysis revealed reduced levels of Cyclin B1, an important G2/M regulator, upon suppression of Bmal1 gene expression. In complete agreement with these experimental observations, simulation of Bmal1 knockdown in a computational model for coupled mammalian circadian clock and cell cycle oscillators (now incorporating Cyclin B1 induction by BMAL1) revealed a lengthening of the cell cycle. Similar data were obtained upon knockdown of Clock gene expression. In conclusion, the CLOCK/BMAL1 complex controls cell cycle progression at the level of G2/M transition through regulation of Cyclin B1 expression.

description: The tremendous human resource and economic burden of HIV/AIDS, malaria and diarrhoeal diseases is well acknowledged in many developing countries. Most of these diseases have multifaceted causes such as malnutrition, the consumption of contaminated water or poor education. Thus, cross-sectoral action is needed to lower the burden of disease in the long run. However, little has been done to investigate the causal relationship between investments in ‘health related’ sectors and the reduction of disease prevalence. This paper aims at analysing the marginal health returns to cross-sectoral government spending for the case of Tanzania. For this, the normative assumption is to maximise the amount of Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) averted per dollar invested. A Simultaneous Equation Model (SEM) is developed to estimate the required elasticities. The results of the quantitative analysis show that the highest returns on DALYs are obtained by improved nutrition and access to safe water sources, followed by sanitation. Looking at the impact of indirect factors, the health effect of investments in mother education exceeds the effect of additional short- and long-term public spending on water.
Spontaneous Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry breaking and radion stabilization

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

description: In this talk I review the issues of supersymmetry breaking and radion stabilization in a five dimensional theory compactified on the Z_2 orbifold. Supersymmetry breaking by Scherk-Schwarz boundary conditions is interpreted as spontaneous breaking of local supersymmetry by the Hosotani mechanism. The auxiliary field responsible for spontaneous supersymmetry breaking is inside the five-dimensional off-shell minimal supergravity multiplet. Different ways of fixing the supersymmetry breaking order parameter are analyzed. In the presence of supersymmetry breaking the one-loop effective potential for the radion has a minimum that fixes its vacuum expectation value. The radion is stabilized in a metastable Minkowski_4 minimum (versus the AdS_4 vacuum) with a mass in the meV range making it interesting for future deviations from the gravitational inverse-square law.

description: Concentrated poverty has increased in the U.S. over the last decade, particularly in nonmetropolitan areas and in areas with distinct racial/ethnic minority populations. Historical regional concentrations of high poverty persist in the South, but there is evidence of emergent concentrations in the West and Midwest. The spread of nonmetropolitan concentrated poverty is associated with the recent economic recession and the slow pace of the recovery.

description: U.S. agriculture entered the most recent recession better positioned than most U.S. industries, was less affected by the recession than most other U.S. industries, and is likely to continue to do well in the years ahead. The farm sector was bolstered by several years of strong income growth, rising farmland values, and low dependence on debt, so both farmers and farm lenders were in a relatively strong financial position. Strong demand for U.S. agricultural products, led by the expansion of developing-country markets, an extended period of depreciation in the real exchange rate, and growing demand for biofuels, has bolstered both the performance and prospects of U.S. agriculture.

description: Gravitationally redshifted absorption lines of Fe XXVI, Fe XXV, and O VIII were inferred recently in the X-ray spectrum of the bursting neutron star EXO 0748-676. We place an upper limit on the stellar magnetic field based on the iron lines. The oxygen absorption feature shows a multiple component profile that is consistent with Zeeman splitting in a magnetic field of ~(1-2)x10^9 gauss, and for which the corresponding Zeeman components of the iron lines are expected to be blended together. In other systems, a field strength >5x10^{10} gauss could induce a blueshift of the line centroids that would counteract gravitational redshift and complicate the derivation of constraints on the equation of state of the neutron star.

description: As its economy struggled during the last decade, Michigan became the only state to lose population between the 2000 and 2010 Censuses. Michigan’s problems were well known and communities in other states sought to attract residents from Michigan. This paper describes the efforts of one Nebraska community, Columbus, to recruit residents from a specific Michi-gan micropolitan area. We also develop a model of destination choice by outmigrants from Michigan micropolitan areas. We find that counties that offer amenity and real wage ad-vantages have the greatest potential to attract Michigan outmigrants, that differences in un-employment rates do not influence destination choice, and that the potential for attracting workers drops with distance.

description: Abstract: The most extensive threat type, for the present moment at least, remains phishing attacks that rely on people’s susceptibility to trick them into sharing personal data. Such attacks generally consist of fake emails originating from an apparently reliable source, for instance, businesses, banks or government facilities. While normal forms of email filtering prove somewhat useful in the fight against phishing, the techniques are highly unlikely to catch the modern-day complex phishing channels such as zero-day phishing or spear phishing. As a result of this, there is a growing uptake of applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to address email security. They are capable of training on sampled volumes of emails and then using this training to improve the recognition of phishing and non-phishing instances.

Here, we propose to work on a system of phishing detection using AI/ ML, which will be instrumentally crucial in making email security reliable and adaptable. The system employs Random Forest, Support Vector Machines (SVM) as well as Neural Networks to classify the emails based on the features extracted from the subject, body as well as links of the emails. By employing both phishing and innocuous email corpus, we trained and tested these models for the purpose of understanding the viability of phishing identification. The achievements of the study were the improved accuracy of detection when compared to conventional approaches and the further reduction of misrecognition, which improves security in general. It should be noted that by integrating a multi-model approach with learning mechanisms, the proposed system is indeed versatile and strong against advanced phishing threats.
