description: The paper assesses the effectiveness of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) in generating employment for disadvantaged groups like SCs, STs and women, creation of durable assets, improving the agricultural and non-agricultural wage rates, enhancing the level of food security and controlling the out migration in rural Rajasthan. The study has also assessed the effects of MNREGA in terms of creation of durable assets, improvement in the agricultural and non-agricultural wage rates and containing out migration in rural Rajasthan which have potential positive impacts on vulnerable groups. The paper also analyses the perceptions of MNREGA workers about its role in improving the food security and the socio-economic conditions of participating households. Based on secondary level data analysis and the survey covering 200 participants and 50 non-participants from 10 villages of 5 districts, the study finds that the scheme has positively affected the agricultural and nonagricultural wage rates, reduced the extent of food insecurity and controlled to some extent the level of out migration in rural Rajasthan. Overall, it has promoted financial inclusion in the region. However, there is a declining trend in extent of participation of the SCs and the STs in MNREGA works during the reference years 2008-09 to 2010-11. But there has been slight improvement in participation of women in MNREGA works in Rajasthan.

description: Detecting the intention of drivers is an essential task in self-driving, necessary to anticipate sudden events like lane changes and stops. Turn signals and emergency flashers communicate such intentions, providing seconds of potentially critical reaction time. In this paper, we propose to detect these signals in video sequences by using a deep neural network that reasons about both spatial and temporal information. Our experiments on more than a million frames show high per-frame accuracy in very challenging scenarios.

description: We discuss the (right) eigenvalue equation for $\mathbb{H}$, $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{R}$ linear quaternionic operators. The possibility to introduce an isomorphism between these operators and real/complex matrices allows to translate the quaternionic problem into an {\em equivalent} real or complex counterpart. Interesting applications are found in solving differential equations within quaternionic formulations of quantum mechanics.

description: Abstract: Background: Routine measurement of gastric residual volume (GRV) to guide feeding in neonatal and paediatric intensive care is widespread. However, this practice is not evidence based and may cause harm. As part of a feasibility study, we explored parent and practitioner views on the acceptability of a trial comparing GRV measurement or no GRV measurement. Methods: A mixed-methods study involving interviews and focus groups with practitioners and interviews with parents with experience of tube feeding in neonatal and/or paediatric intensive care. A voting system recorded closed question responses during practitioner data collection, enabling the collection of quantitative and qualitative data. Data were analysed using thematic analysis and descriptive statistics. Results: We interviewed 31 parents and nine practitioners and ran five practitioner focus groups (n=42). Participants described how the research question was logical, and the intervention would not be invasive and potential benefits of not withholding the child’s feeds. However, both groups held concerns about the potential risk of not measuring GRV, including delayed diagnosis of infection and gut problems, increased risk of vomiting into lungs and causing discomfort or pain. Parent’s views on GRV measurement and consent decision making were influenced by their views on the importance of feeding in the ICU, their child’s prognosis and associated comorbidities or complications. Conclusions: The majority of parents and practitioners viewed the proposed trial as acceptable. Potential concerns and preferences were identified that will need careful consideration to inform the development of the proposed trial protocol and staff training.
Regional wage and productivity in Italy: a spatio-temporal analysis

description: This paper analyses the empirical functioning of the regional labour market in Italy (21 Italian regions over the period 1995–2015). Starting from centralized union bargaining, it derives a micro-founded theoretical long-run relationship between the nominal wage per worker and average labour productivity. The long-run equation is then empirically verified using cointegration analysis, controlling for time and space dependence. It is found that labour productivity has a positive impact on determining the nominal wage per worker. The magnitude of the impact is, on average, 0.28 when considering both direct and indirect (spillover) effects. According to the results, regional policies aimed at reducing local disparities must foster labour productivity, particularly in the south of the country.

description: For the PT symmetric potential of Dorey, Dunning and Tateo we show that in the large angular momentum (i.e., strongly spiked) limit the low-lying eigenstates of this popular non-Hermitian problem coincide with the shifted Hermitian harmonic oscillators calculated at the zero angular momentum. This type of an approximate Hermitization is valid in all the domain where the spectrum of energies remains real. It proves very efficient numerically. The construction is asymmetric with respect to the sign of the subdominant square-root spike, and exhibits a discontinuity at the point where the PT symmetric regularization vanishes.

description: Micro-price data collected from Germany's consumer price index are used to compile a highly disaggregated regional price index for the 402 counties and cities of Germany. A multistage version of the weighted country-product-dummy (CPD) method is introduced. The unique quality of the price data allows one to depart from previous spatial price comparisons and to compare only exactly identical products. It is found that the price levels are spatially autocorrelated and largely driven by the cost of housing. The price level in the most expensive region is about 27% higher than in the cheapest region.

description: Abstract: Inferring neural mechanisms from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is challenging because the fMRI signal integrates over millions of neurons. One approach is to compare computational models that map neural activity to fMRI responses, to see which best predicts fMRI data. We use this approach to compare four possible neural mechanisms of fMRI adaptation to repeated stimuli (scaling, sharpening, repulsive shifting and attractive shifting), acting across three domains (global, local and remote). Six features of fMRI repetition effects are identified, both univariate and multivariate, from two independent fMRI experiments. After searching over parameter values, only the local scaling model can simultaneously fit all data features from both experiments. Thus fMRI stimulus repetition effects are best captured by down-scaling neuronal tuning curves in proportion to the difference between the stimulus and neuronal preference. These results emphasise the importance of formal modelling for bridging neuronal and fMRI levels of investigation.

description: Abstract: Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders caused by mutations which lead to impaired neuromuscular transmission. SLC25A1 encodes a mitochondrial citrate carrier, associated mainly with the severe neurometabolic disease combined D-2- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (D/L-2-HGA). We previously reported a single family with a homozygous missense variant in SLC25A1 with a phenotype restricted to relatively mild CMS with intellectual disability, but to date no additional cases of this CMS subtype had been reported. Here, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) in three additional and unrelated families presenting with CMS and mild intellectual disability to identify the underlying causative gene. The WES analysis revealed the presence of a homozygous c.740G>A; p.(Arg247Gln) missense SLC25A1 variant, the same SLC25A1 variant as identified in the original family with this phenotype. Electron microscopy of muscle from two cases revealed enlarged and accumulated mitochondria. Haplotype analysis performed in two unrelated families suggested that this variant is a result of recurrent mutation and not a founder effect. This suggests that p.(Arg247Gln) is associated with a relatively mild CMS phenotype with subtle mitochondrial abnormalities, while other variants in this gene cause more severe neurometabolic disease. In conclusion, the p.(Arg247Gln) SLC25A1 variant should be considered in patients presenting with a presynaptic CMS phenotype, particularly with accompanying intellectual disability.

description: Crop yields tend to be spatially and temporally correlated due to the systemic nature of land and weather conditions. Recent concern has been focused on whether climate change such as increasing extreme weather events would affect crop yield and yield volatility (Goodwin 2001, Ozaki, et al. 2008). In this paper, a spatio-temporal Conditional Autoregressive Model (ST-CAR model) (Mariella and Tarantino, 2010) will be used to analyze the impact of climate change on crop yield and yield volatility. State level crop yield data from 1950 to 2014 is collected for this study. As an extension of the standard CAR model, a space-time autoregressive matrix will be used in the ST-CAR model to handle both spatial dependence between states and temporal dependence among the examined period. Specifically, the spatial correlation parameter in ST-CAR model varies along time, making it possible to reveal the potential impact of climate change on spatial correlation. Future yield projections will be generated and used in the FASOM model to conduct a welfare analysis. Preliminary results of segment regression shows that breakpoints exist for many states in the US for the last few decades, indicating the potential impact of climate change on yield and yield volatility.

description: A graphical expansion formula for non-commutative matrix integrals with values in a finite-dimensional real or complex von Neumann algebra is obtained in terms of ribbon graphs and their non-orientable counterpart called Moebius graphs. The contribution of each graph is an invariant of the topological type of the surface on which the graph is drawn. As an example, we calculate the integral on the group algebra of a finite group. We show that the integral is a generating function of the number of homomorphisms from the fundamental group of an arbitrary closed surface into the finite group. The graphical expansion formula yields a new proof of the classical theorems of Frobenius, Schur and Mednykh on these numbers.

description: Production and consumption of dairy alternative beverages in the United States has been on the rise as per capita consumption of fluid milk continues to fall. Almond milk and soymilk are the fastest growing categories in the U.S. dairy alternative marketplace. Using household-level purchase data from 2011 Nielsen Homescan panel and tobit econometric procedure, the conditional and unconditional own-price, cross-price and income elasticities for soymilk and almond milk were estimated. Income, age, employment status, education level, race, ethnicity, region and presence of children are significant drivers affecting the demand for dairy alternative beverages, such as almond milk and soy milk. We use the estimates from the tobit econometric procedure to predict how changes in demographic profiles, prices and income will likely affect demand for the aforementioned dairy and dairy alternative products, and how these changes in retail demand will affect the blend price, production and producer surplus of U.S. dairy farmers subject to the federal milk marketing order system. To model the farm-side effects we follow Balagtas and Sumner (2001) and use estimates of elasticities of supply for milk from the literature.

description: U.S. consumption of fresh tomatoes has been increasing steadily over the last 10 years despite a recent declining trend in domestic production (USDA-NASS 2015). The international market plays a key role in meeting U.S. consumers’ demand for fresh tomatoes. Over the last ten years, in volume terms, U.S. imports accounted for about 50% of the U.S. consumption (USITC DataWeb, 2015). Our U.S. NAFTA partners are our main markets for fresh-tomatoes. Unlike previous studies, this study analyzes the U.S. principal supply sources of five tomato cultivars (greenhouse, cherry, grape, Roma, and other) and estimates a source-differentiated almost ideal demand system (SAIDS). The study explores if U.S. consumers’ preferences for these five tomato varieties are heterogeneous and if source of origin is an intrinsic quality attribute. Source-differentiated Marshallian and Hicksian price and expenditure elasticities are estimated and compared to source-undifferentiated and aggregated estimates. The elasticity estimates reported in this study could be useful to decision makers in establishing U.S. fresh-tomatoes import taxes and price floors, and may also assist growers in monitoring imports and implementing relevant marketing strategies. The elasticity estimates can also be used to project likely import scenarios among our NAFTA partners.

A bottom-up approach to fermion mass hierarchy: a case with vector-like fermions

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

description: We propose a bottom-up approach that a structure of a high-energy physics is explored by accumulating existence proofs and/or no-go theorems in the standard model or its extension. As an illustration, we study fermion mass hierarchies based on an extension of the standard model with vector-like fermions. It is shown that a magnitude of elements of Yukawa coupling matrices can become $O(1)$ and a Yukawa coupling unification can be realized in a theory beyond the extended model, if vector-like fermions mix with three families. In this case, small Yukawa couplings in the standard model can be highly sensitive to a small variation of matrix elements, and it seems that the mass hierarchy occurs as a result of a fine tuning.

description: Abstract: PREDICT Prostate is an individualised prognostic model that provides long-term survival estimates for men diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer (www.prostate.predict.nhs.uk). In this study clinician estimates of survival were compared against model predictions and its potential value as a clinical tool was assessed. Prostate cancer (PCa) specialists were invited to participate in the study. 190 clinicians (63% urologists, 17% oncologists, 20% other) were randomised into two groups and shown 12 clinical vignettes through an online portal. Each group viewed opposing vignettes with clinical information alone, or alongside PREDICT Prostate estimates. 15-year clinician survival estimates were compared against model predictions and reported treatment recommendations with and without seeing PREDICT estimates were compared. 155 respondents (81.6%) reported counselling new PCa patients at least weekly. Clinician estimates of PCa-specific mortality exceeded PREDICT estimates in 10/12 vignettes. Their estimates for treatment survival benefit at 15 years were over-optimistic in every vignette, with mean clinician estimates more than 5-fold higher than PREDICT Prostate estimates. Concomitantly seeing PREDICT Prostate estimates led to significantly lower reported likelihoods of recommending radical treatment in 7/12 (58%) vignettes, particularly in older patients. These data suggest clinicians overestimate cancer-related mortality and radical treatment benefit. Using an individualised prognostic tool may help reduce overtreatment.

description: ABSTRACT: In the southern Great Plains pastures of nativegrass mixtures have been shown to provide early season forage and contain grasses that vary in seasonal forage distribution providing higher quality forage further into the growing season than monocultures such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). Compared to improved pastures of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon), nativegrass mixtures increase wildlife habitat, lower maintenance cost, and can improve land value. These benefits have increased interest in conversion of improved pasture land areas to nativegrass pastures. Because of its herbicide tolerance, ability to propagate from stolons, rhizomes, and seed, bermudagrass is difficult to control making conversion challenging. To be successful, conversion methods need to be acquired. A two-year, two location conversion study was developed to determine efficacy and economics of twelve conversion systems for bermudagrass control and establishment of a nativegrass mixture of little bluestem (Schizachyrium acoparium ‘Cimarron’), big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii ‘Kaw’), indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans ‘common’), switchgrass (‘Alamo’), and green sprangletop (Leptochloa dubia ‘common’). Conversion systems consisted of combinations of preparation time (7, 11, 19 months from treatment initiation to planting), cover crops (0, 1, 2, 3), glyphosate application (6, 8, 10 qts/ac) (13.8, 18.4, 23 L ha-1) and tillage (conventional till, no-till). Nativegrass planting date for all conversion systems was April. Tillage systems were more effective than no-tillage. Mean yields across locations and years for no-till were 858 lb/ac and 2868 lb/ac compared to tillage yields of 2243 lb/ac and 6637 lb/ac for nativegrass and switchgrass respectively. Tillage systems with cover crops (2 or 3) and preparation time (11 or 19 months) were more successful in establishing nativegrass but had little effect on switchgrass establishment. For the base-case threshold measure of success (>=70% of total stand), the clean till system with three cover crops was most economical at the Burneyville, Oklahoma, location, realizing a $208 net return per acre. At the Ardmore, Oklahoma, location, systems established with clean-till and no-till methods with both 2 and 3 cover crops were equally more profitable than systems that utilized chemical fallow methods. Systems that utilized chemical fallow methods did not realize positive net returns, but did meet the minimum threshold of success requirement of at least 70% of total NG stand. Relative net returns between systems were most sensitive to prices of rye and sorghum-sudan hay.

description: The Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) is one of the most economically important vector-borne banana diseases throughout the Asia-Pacific Basin and presents a significant challenge to the agricultural sector. Current models of BBTV are largely deterministic, limited by an incomplete understanding of interactions in complex natural systems, and the appropriate identification of parameters. A stochastic network-based Susceptible-Infected model has been created which simulates the spread of BBTV across the subsections of a banana plantation, parameterising nodal recovery, neighbouring and distant infectivity across summer and winter. Findings from posterior results achieved through Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach to approximate Bayesian computation suggest seasonality in all parameters, which are influenced by correlated changes in inspection accuracy, temperatures and aphid activity. This paper demonstrates how the model may be used for monitoring and forecasting of various disease management strategies to support policy-level decision making.

description: We phenomenologically decompose the Weisskopf--Wigner approximation, as applied to the neutral flavoured meson complexes, into three pieces and propose tests for these pieces. Our tests hold for general decay amplitudes and $M^0$--$\bar M^0$ mixing parameters. We concentrate on C-odd $M^0 \bar M^0$ states and stress the importance of such tests in view of the variety of physics extracted from measurements on such complexes. Studying the feasibility of the tests confines one to the $K^0 \bar K^0$ system at present. In particular, we show that the time dependence of the correlated decay $ϕ\to K^0 \bar K^0 \to 2 (π^+ π^-)$ is determined solely by the WWA and provides thus a clean test of it.

description: Abstract: Frequent mutation of the tumour suppressor RNF43 is observed in many cancers, particularly colon malignancies. RNF43, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, negatively regulates Wnt signalling by inducing degradation of the Wnt receptor Frizzled. In this study, we discover that RNF43 activity requires phosphorylation at a triplet of conserved serines. This phospho-regulation of RNF43 is required for zebrafish development and growth of mouse intestinal organoids. Cancer-associated mutations that abrogate RNF43 phosphorylation cooperate with active Ras to promote tumorigenesis by abolishing the inhibitory function of RNF43 in Wnt signalling while maintaining its inhibitory function in p53 signalling. Our data suggest that RNF43 mutations cooperate with KRAS mutations to promote multi-step tumorigenesis via the Wnt-Ras-p53 axis in human colon cancers. Lastly, phosphomimetic substitutions of the serine trio restored the tumour suppressive activity of extracellular oncogenic mutants. Therefore, harnessing phospho-regulation of RNF43 might be a potential therapeutic strategy for tumours with RNF43 mutations.
Worldline formalism in a gravitational background

description: We analyze the worldline formalism in the presence of a gravitational background. In the worldline formalism a path integral is used to quantize the worldline coordinates of the particles. Contrary to the simpler cases of scalar and vector backgrounds, external gravity requires a precise definition of the ultraviolet regularization of the path integral. Taking into account the UV regularization, we describe the first quantized representation of the one-loop effective action for a scalar particle. We compute explicitly the contribution to the graviton tadpole and self-energy to test the validity of the method. The results obtained by usual field theoretical Feynman diagrams are reproduced in an efficient way. Finally, we comment on the technical problems related to the factorization of the zero mode from the path integral on the circle.

description: The Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) predicts that 80% of the U.S. unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market will be in agricultural and rural areas where cooperatives have a strong presence. Agricultural cooperatives could use UAVs in crop scouting to provide timely high-resolution imagery of crop conditions. Rural electric cooperatives (RECs) could use UAVs to detect line-loss, perform line inspections, and assess storm damage. Our research investigated the level of interest and awareness of these rural cooperatives towards UAVS and analyzed the feasibility of UAV adoption. Surveys were sent to Oklahoma grain and farm supply cooperatives and RECs. The survey investigated the knowledge of and interest in UAVs, and elicited information on crop scouting fees and costs, distribution line inspection costs and preventable line loss. The results indicated a low level of knowledge but a high level of interest in UAV technology. Modeling suggests that UAV applications could be feasible for both REC and agricultural cooperatives. Final regulations from the Federal Aviation Administration, particularly restrictions on line-of-sight operation and altitude appear to be a major impediment to UAV adoption. Our survey results suggest that REC applications would be particularly sensitive to the regulatory structure.

description: Abstract: Protected areas (PAs) are the cornerstones of global biodiversity conservation efforts, but to fulfil this role they must be effective at conserving the ecosystems and species that occur within their boundaries. Adequate monitoring datasets that allow comparing biodiversity between protected and unprotected sites are lacking in tropical regions. Here we use the largest citizen science biodiversity dataset – eBird – to quantify the extent to which protected areas in eight tropical forest biodiversity hotspots are effective at retaining bird diversity. We find generally positive effects of protection on the diversity of bird species that are forest-dependent, endemic to the hotspots, or threatened or Near Threatened, but not on overall bird species richness. Furthermore, we show that in most of the hotspots examined this benefit is driven by protected areas preventing both forest loss and degradation. Our results provide evidence that, on average, protected areas contribute measurably to conserving bird species in some of the world’s most diverse and threatened terrestrial ecosystems.

description: The effective charge of an element is a parameter characterizing the electromgration effect, which can determine the reliability of interconnection in electronic technologies. In this work, machine learning approaches were employed to model the effective charge (z*) as a linear function of physically meaningful elemental properties. Average 5-fold (leave-out-alloy-group) cross-validation yielded root-mean-square-error divided by whole data set standard deviation (RMSE/$σ$) values of 0.37 $\pm$ 0.01 (0.22 $\pm$ 0.18), respectively, and $R^2$ values of 0.86. Extrapolation to z* of totally new alloys showed limited but potentially useful predictive ability. The model was used in predicting z* for technologically relevant host-impurity pairs.

description: Background The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is increasing globally. An increase in PAD in an ageing population inevitably results in an increase in incidence of Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia (CLTI). Loss of a limb is a life-changing event with immeasurable cost to the individual, while the potential financial benefit of saving a limb is not well documented. Aims The focus of this study was to estimate the cost associated with surgical interventions used in the treatment of CLTI compared with amputation. Methods The cost to treat a CLTI diagnosis in 124 patients was analysed in an acute tertiary referral hospital over a 13-month study period. The analysis included staffing, medical devices used, number of blood components used and the length of stay. Statistical methods included descriptive statistical data and the Mann–Whitney U test. Results The median cost, associated with length of stay, post-amputation and post-revascularisation (hybrid) was €61,313 [IQR=€44,417, €83,331] and €46,573 [IQR=€25,687, €58,554] respectively, p<0.001. The total median cost for length of stay for amputees in an acute hospital, rehabilitation and a prosthetic limb was €88,820 [IQR=€74,486, €110,248]. The median surgical cost of an amputation was €2,064 [IQR=€1,342, €2,866], whilst the median surgical cost of a revascularisation procedure (hybrid) was €5,966 [IQR=€4,380, €7,723], p<0.001, inclusive of total blood components transfused. Conclusion Revascularisation surgical interventions are more expensive than amputation, however, the length of stay, rehabilitation and prosthetic limb costs, for a patient undergoing a major limb amputation, is significantly more costly
