description: Up to date 35 different host species have been reported susceptible to Xylella fastidiosa, subsp. pauca, ST53 (Xfp), in the Apulia region (southern Italy). Xfp is genetically related to coffee strains of the subsp. pauca, particularly aggressive on olives, the predominant crop species in the area, and on other species (i.e. oleander, Acacia spp, Polygala myrtifolia). On the other hand, our previous investigations demonstrated that this genotype was not able to infect Vitis spp., several species of Citrus and the Prunus hybrid GF677. In the last 3 years, we extended the investigations by performing a series of artificial inoculations on different species, with the aim of identifying additional immune species. These included Pyrus communis, Juglans regia, Ceratonia siliqua, Mespilus germanica, Diospyros kaki, Citrus limon, Punica granatum, Persea americana. At least 10 plants for each species were needle-inoculated in 2017, along with susceptible controls (periwinkle and olive). Vector-mediated transmission was also used for P. americana, by caging the plants with Xfp-infected specimen of Philaenus spumarius. Inoculated plants were periodically inspected and sampled to assess bacterial multiplication and host colonization. Overall, the diagnostic tests performed during the 3 years post-inoculation did not reveal the presence of the bacterium in the tissues above (>10cm) the inoculation points of any of the inoculated plants. Detection occurred only when leaf petioles from the inoculation points were tested. Similarly, no positive detections occurred in the plants of P. americana exposed to infected insects. In addition, for C. limon, P. granatum, P. communis and C. siliqua surveys conducted in these last 3 years in the heavily infected area did not reveal the occurrence of natural infected plants. Overall, the data suggest that these species do not support the multiplication and the spread of the bacterium. However, even if for P. Americana needle-inoculations were complemented with vector transmissions, for the remaining species mechanical inoculations should be integrated by vector-mediated transmission tests for conclusive assessment of their immunity.

description: We analyzed 13.8 fb^{-1} of the integrated e+e- luminosity collected at 10.6 GeV center-of-mass energy with the CLEO II and II.V detectors to study exclusive two-photon production of single hadronic resonances. We searched for hadrons decaying into Ks K pi when both leptons remain undetected. In this analysis we studied the detection efficiency and evaluated systematic errors using independent data samples. We estimated 90% CL upper limits on the products of the two-photon partial widths of (pseudo)scalar hadrons with masses below 1.7 GeV/c2 and their branching fractions into Ks K pi. Our preliminary results are marginally consistent with the first observation of eta(1440) in two-photon collisions by the L3 experiment.

Tachyon Condensates, Carrollian Contraction of Lorentz Group, and Fundamental Strings

description: We study the rolling tachyon condensate in the presence of a gauge field. The generic vacuum admits both a rolling tachyon, \dot{T}, and a uniform electric field, \vec{E}, which together affect the effective metric governing the fluctuations of open string modes. If one suppresses the gauge field altogether, the light-cone collapses completely. This is the Carrollian limit, with vanishing speed of light and no possible propagation of signals. In the presence of a gauge field, however, the lightcone is squeezed to the shape of a fan, allowing propagation of signals along the direction of \pm \vec{E} at speed |E|=<1. This shows that there are perturbative degrees of freedom propagating along electric flux lines. Such causal behavior appears to be a very general feature of tachyon effective Lagrangian with runway potentials. We speculate on how this may be connected to appearance of fundamental strings.

description: A formalism is presented for analytically obtaining the probability density function, (P_{n}(s)), for the random distance (s) between two random points in an (n)-dimensional spherical object of radius (R). Our formalism allows (P_{n}(s)) to be calculated for a spherical (n)-ball having an arbitrary volume density, and reproduces the well-known results for the case of uniform density. The results find applications in stochastic geometry, computational science, molecular biological systems, statistical physics, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and elementary particle physics. As one application of these results, we propose a new statistical method obtained from our formalism to study random number generators in (n)-dimensions used in Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Competitiveness is a crucial issue in the EU agri-food market. In the last fifteen years, two significant events have affected the competitive performance of agriculture and the food industry in different EU countries, namely the EU accession of Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) and the global economic crisis of 2008. This paper evaluates the EU countries’ competitive performance at a sector level in the intra-EU market from 1995 to 2011 by comparing the food industry and agriculture; and assessing the effects of the EU expansion and economic crisis on country competitiveness. EMS and RCA indices were used to measure the competitive performance over time. Results showed that although agriculture and the food industry in the EU are interconnected, they often reveal divergent trends in competitive performance. Germany and the Netherlands have profited the most from the opportunities resulting from the enlargement. On the contrary, France has lost competitiveness. A similar trend was found in Belgium. Italy shows a substantial competitive stasis, similar to Spain.

description: We address the issue of potential superluminal propagation of gravitational waves in backgrounds neighboring the previously suggested bounce [arXiv:1807.08361] in beyond Horndeski theory. We find that the bouncing solution lies right at the boundary of the region where the gravitational waves propagate at speed exceeding that of light, i.e. that solution suffers superluminality problem. We suggest a novel version of a completely stable bouncing model where both scalar and tensor perturbations remain safely subluminal not only on the solution itself but also in its neighbourhood. The model remains free of superluminality when extra matter in the form of radiation or, more generally, ideal fluid with equation of state parameter $w\leq 1/3$ (and also somewhat higher) is added. Superluminality reappears when extra matter is added whose sound velocity is equal or close to 1 in flat space; an example is scalar field minimally coupled to metric. The latter property is characteristic of all beyond Horndeski cosmologies; we briefly discuss its significance.

description: Reliable and accurate diagnostic tools are critical to enable effective response to Xylella fastidiosa in the event of an outbreak. Current testing procedures including different real-time PCR assays are being validated and optimised for use by accredited laboratories in the UK. Informal DNA based proficiency tests for real time PCR assays completed by four institutions gave consistent results. Three host species (Lavandula dentata, Nerium oleander, Coffea arabica) were inoculated with three subspecies of Xylella fastidiosa and kept in two different glasshouse environments (25°C and ambient temperature) where rates of colonisation and symptom expression were monitored to inform future sampling strategies. Symptoms that could be due to Xylella infections were not always associated with positive qPCR samples; oleander and coffee plants were successfully infected and, although most positive samples were close to inoculation points, some oleander samples taken up to 10cm away from the points were also positive showing that the infection had progressed. Other approaches, such as detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are being assessed to target sampling. A proof of principle study using coffee plants showed that a large amount of VOCs can be retained on Mono Traps (a portable sorptive solid media) and a number of compounds were different between control and Xylella infected plants. Methods for identifying subspecies and strains are being developed to enable tracing of infection sources. Concatenated MLSA sequences were collected for all publicly available genomes of X. fastidiosa and trees built to visualise relationships between clonal complexes. Using public sequence data of over 200 genomes, a species-level cgMLST scheme was created for X. fastidiosa as well as schemes for three individual subspecies. As well as application to whole genomes, the resolution provided by the cgMLST approach has also been shown to be informative when applied to sparser data from infected plant metagenomes.

description: Farmers’ markets and agri-tourism operations play significant roles in many rural economies; however, they tend to be underused which threatens their viability. Results from factor, cluster and regression analyses show that bundling of farmers’ markets activities will spur diverse and steady patronage beyond what the growers earn from their traditional fresh produce and value added products. Additionally, farmers’ markets and agri-tourism operators can use customer profiling to improve their marketing efforts in a competitive environment. The regression results show that a number of socio-economic variables are associated with the patronage experience.

description: Researchers have designed many algorithms to measure the distances between graph nodes, such as average hitting times of random walks, cosine distances from DeepWalk, personalized PageRank, etc. Successful although these algorithms are, still they are either underperforming or too time-consuming to be applicable to huge graphs that we encounter daily in this big data era. To address these issues, here we propose a faster algorithm based on an improved version of random walks that can beat DeepWalk results with more than ten times acceleration. The reason for this significant acceleration is that we can derive an analytical formula to calculate the expected hitting times of this random walk quickly. There is only one parameter (the power expansion order) in our algorithm, and the results are robust with respect to its changes. Therefore, we can directly find the optimal solution without fine-tuning of model parameters. Our method can be widely used for fraud detection, targeted ads, recommendation systems, topic-sensitive search, etc.

description: Vietnam is a major pork producing country, but the livelihood of pig farmers is threatened by the pig disease Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS). Although vaccination is the most practical method of choice for PRRS control, the vaccination percentage is very low in Vietnam. To help inform PRRS vaccine development and policy, our research employed the choice experiment method to assess pig farmers’ attitudes toward and willingness to pay (WTP) for a PRRS vaccine. The results found a high positive WTP value for the PRRS vaccination program in Vietnam. This study provides insight into the possibility of increasing the PRRS vaccination percentages.

description: The geometrical diffraction theory, in the sense of Keller,is here reconsidered as an obstacle problem in the Riemannian geometry. The first result is the proof of the existence and the analysis of the main properties of the diffracted rays, which follow from the non-uniqueness of the Cauchy problem for geodesics in a Riemannian manifold with boundary. Then,the axial caustic is here regarded as a conjugate locus, in the sense of the Riemannian geometry, and the results of the Morse theory can be applied.The methods of the algebraic topology allow us to introduce the homotopy classes of diffracted rays. These geometrical results are related to the asymptotic approximations of a solution of a boundary value problem for the reduced wave equation. In particular, we connect the results of the Morse theory to the Maslov construction, which is used to obtain the uniformization of the asymptotic approximations. Then, the border of the diffracting body is the envelope of the diffracted rays and, instead of the standard saddle point method, use is made of the procedure of Chester, Friedman and Ursell to derive the damping factors associated with the rays which propagate along the boundary. Finally, the amplitude of the diffracted rays when the diffracting body is an opaque sphere is explicitly calculated.

The tools employed in higher education have been shown to impact student confidence and confidence going into their careers. As a means to identifying differences in the impact of a web-based course discussion between male and female students, a survey of 408 Agribusiness students was conducted. Compared with males, the online course discussion had more impact on female students in terms of their knowledge of current events, interest in the course topics, and confidence going into the job interviews. In addition, female students attributed the web-based discussion to improved written communication skills. Use of social technology with current content could potentially empower the female students to enhance learning and gain confidence.

description: Gauge theories can often be formulated in different but physically equivalent ways, a concept referred to as duality. Using a formalism based on graded geometry, we provide a unified treatment of all parent theories for different types of standard and exotic dualizations. Our approach is based on treating tensor fields as functions of a certain degree on graded supermanifolds equipped with a suitable number of odd coordinates. We present a universal two-parameter first order action for standard and exotic electric/magnetic dualizations and prove in full generality that it yields two dual second order theories with the desired field content and dynamics. Upon choice of parameters, the parent theory reproduces (i) the standard and exotic duals for p-forms and (ii) the standard and double duals for (p,1) bipartite tensor fields, such as the linearized graviton and the Curtright field. Moreover, we discuss how deformations related to codimension-1 branes are included in the parent theory.

Formation of a Proto-Quasar from Accretion Flows in a Halo

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

description: We present a detailed model for the formation of massive objects at the centers of galaxies. The effects of supernovae heating and the conditions of gas loss are revisited. The escape time of the gas is compared with the cooling time, which provides an additional condition not previously considered. Its consequences for the allowed mass range of the halo is calculated. It is shown that sufficient gas is retained to form massive dark objects and quasars even for moderately massive halos but a decline is expected at low redshifts. Subsequently, a gaseous disk forms with a radial extent of a ~kpc, spun up by tidal torques and magnetized by supernovae fields with fields strengths of $10-100 μG$. In a model of a self-similar accretion flow in an initially dominant halo, it is shown that for typical halo parameters, about $10^8 M_\odot$ accretes via small magnetic stresses (or alternatively by self-gravity induced instability or by alpha viscosity) in $10^8$ years into a compact region. A model of a self-gravitating evolution of a compact magnetized disk, which is relevant when a significant fraction of the disk mass falls in, is presented, and it has a rapid collapse time scale of a million years. The two disk solutions, one for accretion in an imposed halo potential and the other for self-gravitating disk, obtained here, have general utility and can be adapted to other contexts like protostellar disks as well.

description: In this paper, I consider the issue of how two mathematical models of modern physics, the variational principles and the quantum path integral formalism, relate to reality. I assume that the observed phenomena are consistent with the calculations because both of these models have some common ontological foundations. According to the hypothesis of the summation of coexisting alternative possibilities, at the quantum level, the system at once moves along all histories that possible in given boundary conditions. The actual history is a mere result of the summation of all these alternative possible histories. This resultant history differs from others with the minimal action and maximal probability. I observe this history as a macroscopic trajectory of the system.

description: We introduce a quantum Minkowski space-time based on the quantum group SU(2)q extended by a degree operator and formulate a quantum version of the anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equation. We construct solutions of the quantum equations using the classical ADHM linear data, and conjecture that, up to gauge transformations, our construction yields all the solutions. We also find a deformation of Penrose's twistor diagram, giving a correspondence between the quantum Minkowski space-time and the classical projective twistor space.

description: Oxidative damages in eye lens crystallin proteins due to dehomeostasis of metal ions like Cu2+ and Zn2+ cause their aggregation. Previously, we had demonstrated the protective role of Schiff bases (monoimine) towards human? D-crystallin (HGD) aggregation induced by copper ions. In continuation of that strategy, in the present work, we have synthesized a diimine Schiff base molecule (compound 5). Two imine groups were incorporated in this molecule for the enhancement of metal complexing ability. Compound 5 formed a stable complex with Cu2+ and ∼72% inhibition of copper-mediated aggregation of HGD in presence of compound 5 (8 µM) was observed. This compound was evolved as better inhibitor as compared to earlier reported compound. HGD-compound 5 binding constant was calculated as ∼105 M-1 from fluorescence quenching studies. The average binding distance of 6.52 nm between protein fluorophore and compound 5 was determined by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) calculations. The overall interaction process was driven by entropy with a major involvement of hydrophobic forces. No significant conformational change in HGD due to its interaction with compound 5 was observed in synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Experimental results were corroborated by molecular docking.

description: In our study, by simulating the model of an apple producing firm, we investigated how the availability of postharvest establishments influences the economic efficiency of production. The results of our analysis highlighted the fact that by possessing cold storage and introducing an extended selling period, a producing enterprise may make higher profits (NPV) of 40 to 50% during the lifetime of the investment than if without such postharvest mechanisms. In the investigated case, however, because of the huge capital requirement at the beginning, the internal rate of return (IRR) was somewhat unfavourable. However, in the case of own, ready and running postharvest establishments, better investment economic efficiency parameters (from 40 – 120 %) may be reached. Thus the capital need for investment is much lower for the producing enterprise, but the price advantage of the extended selling period remains.

description: We discuss theories with the exceptional centerless gauge group G(2), paying attention to confinement and the pattern of chiral symmetry breaking. Exploiting the Higgs mechanism to break the symmetry down to SU(3), we also present how the familiar features of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking of SU(3) gauge theories reemerge. G(2) gauge theories show up as an unusual theoretical framework to study SU(3) gauge theories without the ``luxury'' of a center.

description: Providing the population with safe and good quality food is one of the most important objectives of every country. The outbreak and spread of foodborne diseases is independent of a country’s location or development level, and may occur everywhere. As most children spend their days at educational institutions, we shall focus on their food safety. Not only for their present state of health, but also because childhood nutrition and diet will basically determine their health in their adulthood and thus, influence the future economic and social performance of their society. This paper introduces background information about school catering in Hungary, based upon the results of an overall food safety survey. The results of our research showed that the food safety level of the different kitchen units is mostly determined by the level of food processing activities. The technical and technological level of the school kitchens did not significantly influence the food safety level of the kitchens. According to the results of our survey, improving the knowledge and the attitudes of employees in school kitchens is more important than technical and technological conditions.
Threshold effects in SO(10) models with one intermediate breaking scale

description: Despite the successes of the Standard Model of particle physics, it is known to suffer from a number of deficiencies. Several of these can be addressed within non-supersymmetric theories of grand unification based on $\mathrm{SO}(10)$. However, achieving gauge coupling unification in such theories is known to require additional physics below the unification scale, such as symmetry breaking in multiple steps. Many such models are disfavored due to bounds on the proton lifetime. Corrections arising from threshold effects can, however, modify these conclusions. We analyze all seven relevant breaking chains with one intermediate symmetry breaking scale, assuming the "survival hypothesis" for the scalar masses. Two are allowed by proton lifetime and two are disfavored by a failure to unify the gauge couplings. The remaining three unify at a too low scale, but can be salvaged by various amounts of threshold corrections. We parametrize this and thereby rank the models by the size of the threshold corrections required to save them.

In the nuclear regions of this unbarred and apparently undisturbed spiral galaxy the gas is rotating perpendicularly to the galaxy disk. We suggest that this kinematically-decoupled component is the signature of an acquisition process in the history of this galaxy.

description: The study was based on field research. The main goal of the work was to determine the level of consumer awareness of regional products and to examine the statistical relationship between the age and education level of respondents and their declaration of purchasing this type of product. Data collection was performed in Sudeten districts, because the described study was part of a research project concerning the introduction of a new regional product „Sudeten Beef” into this area. The study was conducted in 2012 using direct interviews with 219 respondents. On the basis of the investigation it could be said that the surveyed respondents had little awareness of regional products. The statistical analysis confirmed a weak correlation between age and level of education and declarations of purchasing regional products. This study is of a preliminary character and the results are not representative of the whole Polish population, but they should be regarded as a good starting point for further in-depth research.
