description: This paper presents the main feature of a recent major study by FAO, hereafter referred to as AT 2000. After outlining the scope and methodology of the study, this paper gives summary results and concludes with a brief identification of the salient aspects of the strategies suggested by the analysis. A purpose of the study was to provide governments and the United Nations with quantified perspectives of world and country group demand for, and production and trade of food and agricultural commodities, including implications for such areas as nutrition, investment, assistance, and research. Pre-publication results of the study were the major source for the food and agricultural component of the UN International Development Strategy (IDS) adopted in 1980. A second purpose was to provide FAO, its member governments, and other qualified users with a detailed quantification on a common pattern of possible alternative paths of change in the agricultural sector of 90 individual developing countries. The analytical instrument built for the study--the family of models, data bank, and analytical procedures--will be kept in working order. The results of the study for each of the 90 developing countries have been sent to the countries concerned, and, at the time of writing, comments on these results as well as agreement to release the individual country data without limitation are awaited.

description: Agent-based modelling is a valuable approach for systems whose behaviour is driven by the interactions between distinct entities. They have shown particular promise as a means of modelling crowds of people in streets, public transport terminals, stadiums, etc. However, the methodology faces a fundamental difficulty: there are no established mechanisms for dynamically incorporating real-time data into models. This limits simulations that are inherently dynamic, such as pedestrian movements, to scenario testing of, for example, the potential impacts of new architectural configurations on movements. This paper begins to address this fundamental gap by demonstrating how a particle filter could be used to incorporate real data into an agent-based model of pedestrian movements at run time. The experiments show that it is indeed possible to use a particle filter to perform online (real time) model optimisation. However, as the number of agents increases, the number of individual particles (and hence the computational complexity) required increases exponentially. By laying the groundwork for the real-time simulation of crowd movements, this paper has implications for the management of complex environments (both nationally and internationally) such as transportation hubs, hospitals, shopping centres, etc.

description: We study a scheme for entangling two-level atoms located close to the surface of a dielectric microsphere. The effect is based on medium-assisted spontaneous decay, rigorously taking into account dispersive and absorptive properties of the microsphere. We show that even in the weak-coupling regime, where the Markov approximation applies, entanglement up to 0.35 ebits between two atoms can be created. However, larger entanglement and violation of Bell's inequality can only be achieved in the strong-coupling regime.

description: We develop Markov categories as a framework for synthetic probability and statistics, following work of Golubtsov as well as Cho and Jacobs. This means that we treat the following concepts in purely abstract categorical terms: conditioning and disintegration; various versions of conditional independence and its standard properties; conditional products; almost surely; sufficient statistics; versions of theorems on sufficient statistics due to Fisher--Neyman, Basu, and Bahadur. Besides the conceptual clarity offered by our categorical setup, its main advantage is that it provides a uniform treatment of various types of probability theory, including discrete probability theory, measure-theoretic probability with general measurable spaces, Gaussian probability, stochastic processes of either of these kinds, and many others.

description: Surface irrigation dominates the Indian irrigation system. The total surface waters in the country have been estimated to be around 180 million hectare metres, out of which about 60 million hectare metres have been assessed to be usable. The groundwater resources for irrigation have been calculated to be 26 million hectare metres. Together, they would enable 113 million hectares to be irrigated. Up to March 1980, which marks the end of the Fifth Five-Year Plan, 57 million hectares of irrigation potential had been developed. Nearly 30 million hectares fall under surface irrigation and the remaining is covered by groundwater use. It is planned to add another 13 million hectares during the Sixth Five-Year Plan (1980-85), half of which will be under surface irrigation. While a major part of the developed groundwater potential is in the hands of the private sector, surface irrigation is entirely owned and managed by the public sector. The private sector exploitation of groundwater resources has been found to be more efficient than the State owned and operated tubewells (Mellor and Moorti). Since the public sector deals only with a small part of groundwater resources, the costs imposed on society are less, both in absolute and relative terms. In the case of surface irrigation, evaluation studies have brought out their poor performance in terms of utilization of the created potential and realization of projected cropping patterns. Organizational and management deficiencies have been found to be the causes behind this poor performance. Some farreaching reforms are under way, the evaluation of whi~h is the subject of this paper. The paper is divided into two sections. The first section offers a brief review of the recent research findings and indicates t~e areas for reforms; the second section evaluates some of the reform measures undertaken so far.

description: The temperature dependence of ac susceptibility of YBCO thin film was measured as a function of frequency and ac field amplitude in a field perpendicular to the film plane. We show that all measured ac susceptibility curves can be caled into a single curve using the peak temperature (Tp) of its imaginary part as the scaling parameter. The frequency effect on ac susceptibility was also measured. As the frequency increases,(Tp)shifts to higher temperature.This effect can be interpreted in terms of flux creep. The temperature T,and field,Hac, dependence of the activation energy obtained from the Arrhenius plot for the frequency(f)and(Tp),can be described as U(Hac,T)=Uo(1-T/Tc)Hac^(-0.18).

description: As-Is Building Information Models aid in the management, maintenance and renovation of existing buildings. However, most existing buildings do not have an accurate geometric depiction of their As-Is conditions. The process of generating As-Is models of existing structures involves practitioners, who manually convert Point Cloud Data (PCD) into semantically meaningful 3D models. This process requires a significant amount of manual effort and time. Previous research has been able to model objects by segmenting the point clouds into planes and classifying each one separately into classes, such as walls, floors and ceilings; this is insufficient for modelling, as BIM objects are comprised of multiple planes that form volumetric objects. This thesis introduces a novel method that focuses on the geometric creation of As-Is BIMs with enriched information. It tackles the problem by detecting objects, modelling them and enriching the model with spaces and object adjacencies from PCD. The first step of the proposed method detects objects by exploiting the relationships the segments should satisfy to be grouped into one object. It further proposes a method for detecting slabs with variations in height by finding local maxima in the point density. The second step models the geometry of walls and finally enriches the model with closed spaces encoded in the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard. The method uses the point cloud density of detected walls to determine their width by projecting the wall into two directions and finding the edges with the highest density. It identifies adjacent walls by finding gaps or intersections between walls and exploits walls adjacency for correcting their boundaries, creating an accurate 3D geometry of the model. Finally, the method detects closed spaces by using a shortest-path algorithm. The method was tested on three original PCD which represent office floors. The method detects objects of class walls, floors and ceilings in PCD with an accuracy of approximately 96%. The precision and recall for the room detection were found to be 100%.

description: Unlike the standard entanglement entropy considered in the holographic context, entwinement measures entanglement between degrees of freedom that are not associated to a spatial subregion. Entwinement is defined for two-dimensional CFTs with a discrete $\mathbb{Z}_N$ gauge symmetry. Since the Hilbert space of these CFTs does not factorize into tensor products, even the entanglement entropy associated to a spatial subregion cannot be defined as the von Neumann entropy of a reduced density matrix. While earlier works considered embedding the density matrix into a larger, factorizing Hilbert space, we apply a gauge invariant approach by using a density matrix uniquely defined through its relation to the local algebra of observables. We furthermore obtain a fully gauge invariant definition of entwinement valid for general CFTs with $\mathbb{Z}_N$ gauge symmetry in terms of all observables acting on the degrees of freedom considered. Holographically, entwinement is dual to the length of non-minimal geodesics present for conical defects or black holes. In this context, we propose a definition of entwinement for thermal states dual to the BTZ black hole. Our results show that "entwinement is enough" to describe the full bulk geometry for the conical defect and provide strong hints that the same holds true for the BTZ black hole. Thus, it provides an alternative to holographic complexity for the theories considered.

description: Cosmic event horizons separate spacetime into disjoint regions: those regions whose light signals can reach us, and more distant regions we cannot, even in principle, observe. For one type of cosmic horizon, associated with universes that keep expanding forever, there is a simple intuitive picture of where the cosmic horizon is located, in terms of the relative speed between a distant galaxy and our own approaching the speed of light: Where the light-speed limit is reached, light signals from that distant galaxy will not be able to catch up with our own galaxy; that galaxy and more distant galaxies are behind the cosmic horizon. Applied to the usual recession speeds of galaxies, that simple picture turns out to be wrong. But there is another relevant concept of speed, derived from the relativistic relative velocity of galaxies, which in turn is defined via the parallel transport of four-velocities. This article shows how, using this concept of relative velocity, key elements of the intuitive picture are valid, and can be used in a simplified explanation for cosmic horizons. When phrased as a statement about relative radial velocities, the notion of light not being able to catch up with our own galaxy is consistent with the calculations, and the cosmic event horizon is indeed the limit where the relative radial velocity of distant Hubble-flow galaxies reaches the speed of light. While the derivation itself requires advanced concepts of general relativity, we also discuss consequences of this result for teaching about cosmic event horizons in less advanced settings, where students are not introduced to the full formalism of general relativity.

description: We report high quality near-infrared spectroscopy of 12 ultra-luminous infrared galaxy mergers (ULIRGs). Our new VLT and Keck data provide ~0.5" resolution, stellar and gas kinematics of these galaxies most of which are compact systems in the last merger stages. We confirm that ULIRG mergers are 'ellipticals-in-formation'. Random motions dominate their stellar dynamics, but significant rotation is common. Gas and stellar dynamics are decoupled in most systems. ULIRGs fall on or near the fundamental plane of hot stellar systems, and especially on its less evolution sensitive, r(eff)-sigma projection. The ULIRG velocity dispersion distribution, their location in the fundamental plane and their distribution of v(rot)*sin(i)/sigma closely resemble those of intermediate mass (~L*), elliptical galaxies with moderate rotation. As a group ULIRGs do not resemble giant ellipticals with large cores and little rotation. Our results are in good agreement with other recent studies indicating that disky ellipticals with compact cores or cusps can form through dissipative mergers of gas rich, disk galaxies while giant ellipticals with large cores have a different formation history.

description: Using a dynamical system approach we study the cosmological phase space of the generalized hybrid metric-Palatini gravity theory, characterized by the function $f\left(R,\mathcal R\right)$, where $R$ is the metric scalar curvature and $\mathcal R$ the Palatini scalar curvature of the spacetime. We formulate the propagation equations of the suitable dimensionless variables that describe FLRW universes as an autonomous system. The fixed points are obtained for four different forms of the function $f\left(R,\mathcal R\right)$, and the behavior of the cosmic scale factor $a(t)$ is computed. We show that due to the structure of the system, no global attractors can be present and also that two different classes of solutions for the scale factor $a(t)$ exist. Numerical integrations of the dynamical system equations are performed with initial conditions consistent with the observations of the cosmological parameters of the present state of the Universe. In addition, using a redefinition of the dynamic variables, we are able to compute interesting solutions for static universes.

description: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of renal cancer. ccRCCs exhibit considerable genetic intratumour heterogeneity, and current therapies lack long-term efficacy due to drug resistance. Novel therapeutic targets are thus required to combat this disease. The most effective targets are likely to be factors essential for maintaining ccRCC cell phenotypes and survival across all tumour subclones. Transcription factors (TFs) are appealing candidates as they are key determinants of cellular phenotypes, including in cancer. There is growing evidence to suggest that lineage-specific TFs often play important roles in tumourigenesis and tumour progression. ccRCC phenotypes may also be fundamentally defined by tissue-specific core transcriptional networks. Thus, the aim of my PhD thesis was to identify novel TF dependencies in ccRCC, and characterise the mechanisms by which these essential TFs support these tumours. I performed a CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic depletion screen in vitro with an sgRNA library targeting 50 TFs that are highly expressed in RCC. This highlighted HNF1B as a potential tumour dependency in ccRCC. I demonstrated that both HNF1B CRISPR knockout and CRISPRi knockdown conferred a strong selective disadvantage in vitro that was rescued by HNF1B restoration, suggesting that it was a specific effect of HNF1B loss. I also showed that HNF1B knockout impaired tumour initiation and growth in vivo. I showed that HNF1B knockout led to a downregulation of MYC expression, along with a cell cycle defect in G1/S progression and an increase in cell death. HNF1B ChIP-seq in ccRCC cell lines revealed HNF1B binding peaks near the MYC gene, suggesting that HNF1B might directly regulate MYC in ccRCC. I subsequently found that MYC CRISPRi knockdown phenocopied the striking selective disadvantage associated with HNF1B depletion. Taken together, my data suggests that HNF1B-mediated regulation of MYC might be a key mechanism underlying the importance of HNF1B in ccRCC.

description: The study was conducted at Dhera Sub-center of Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia from July - December 2011; to screen drought tolerance of 96 finger millet accessions (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn.) collected from different agro-ecological zones of the country. Data were collected for plant height (PH), green leaf number (GLN), green leaf area (GLA), ear number (EN), ear length (EL) and relative water content (RWC). Significant difference (P<0.05) were obtained between accessions for most selected physiological, morphological and yield related traits such as Chlorophyll Content Index (CCI), RWC, and yield related parameters, such as tiller number (TN), productive tillers (PT), seed weight per head and per plant. Based on high RWC, CCI, GLN, PT, EL, and EN, Grain Yield per head and per plant, a total of 23 accessions were categorized as drought stress tolerance and promoted to the next intensive physiological and yield related evaluation. Moreover, AAUFM-7, AAUFM-2, AAUFM-44 were the first top three accessions with the highest grain yield of 77.5, 72g/plant and 65.4g/plant, respectively. Overall, the higher genetic variability observed among accession in this study should be further utilized for finger millet improvement targeting semi-arid areas of Ethiopia.

description: This paper uses cross sectional data which were collected from 200 smallholder rice producers in Ghana, to examine the factors influencing the adoption and extent of use of NERICA rice varieties in Ghana. About 57.93 per cent of the sampled rice producers allocated 35.77 per cent of their land to NERICA accounting for about 33.13 per cent of seeds planted. The Tobit regression model suggests fertilizer use, existence of other complementary projects in the area, proportion of active persons in household, access to alternative income sources, distance to seed source and education as key factors influencing the quantity of seeds planted as well as the proportion of land allocated to the NERICA varieties. With the exception of distance to seed source, all the other factors positively influenced the extents of adoption. The findings suggest the need to ensure availability of NERICA seeds within acceptable distances to farming communities. This could be achieved through identification of certified rice seed growers in strategic locations throughout the country and supported with necessary logistics to produce NERICA seeds at reasonable proximities to rice producing communities. This could also be enhanced through establishment of linkages with existing institutions and projects to compliment promotional efforts.

description: The paper demonstrates the use of the fully convolutional neural network for glioma segmentation on the BraTS 2019 dataset. Three-layers deep encoder-decoder architecture is used along with dense connection at encoder part to propagate the information from coarse layer to deep layers. This architecture is used to train three tumor sub-components separately. Subcomponent training weights are initialized with whole tumor weights to get the localization of the tumor within the brain. At the end, three segmentation results were merged to get the entire tumor segmentation. Dice Similarity of training dataset with focal loss implementation for whole tumor, tumor core and enhancing tumor is 0.92, 0.90 and 0.79 respectively. Radiomic features along with segmentation results and age are used to predict the overall survival of patients using random forest regressor to classify survival of patients in long, medium and short survival classes. 55.4% of classification accuracy is reported for training dataset with the scans whose resection status is gross-total resection.

description: Using new deep VLA and HST observations of the large-scale jet in 3C273 matched to 0.3" resolution, we have detected excess near-ultraviolet emission (300 nm) above a synchrotron cutoff spectrum accounting for the emission from radio through optical (3.6 cm - 620 nm). This necessitates a two-component model for the emission. The radio-optical-X-ray spectral energy distributions suggest a common origin for the UV excess and the X-rays from the jet.

description: Magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is shown to be a promising technique for implementing quantum computing. The theory underlying the principles of quantum computing with nuclear spin systems undergoing MAS is formulated in the framework of formalized quantum Floquet theory. The procedures for realizing state labeling, state transformation and coherence selection in Floquet space are given. It suggests that by this method, the largest number of qubits can easily surpass that achievable with other techniques. Unlike other modalities proposed for quantum computing, this method enables one to adjust the dimension of the working state space, meaning the number of qubits can be readily varied. The universality of quantum computing in Floquet space with solid state NMR is discussed and a demonstrative experimental implementation of Grover's search is given.

description: A precise security analysis of practical quantum key distribution (QKD) systems is an important step for improving their performance. Here we consider a class of quantum soft filtering operations, which generalizes the unambiguous state discrimination (USD) technique. These operations can be applied as a basis for a security analysis of the original coherent one-way (COW) QKD protocol since their application interpolates between beam-splitting (BS) and USD attacks. We demonstrate that a zero-error attack based on quantum soft filtering operations gives a larger amount of the information for Eve at a given level of losses. We calculate the Eve information as a function of the channel length. The efficiency of the proposed attack highly depends on the level of the monitoring under the maintenance of the statistics of control (decoy) states, and best-case results are achieved in the case of the absence of maintenance of control state statistics. Our results form additional requirements for the analysis of practical QKD systems based on the COW QKD protocol and its variants by providing an upper bound on the security.
