description: INTRODUCTION Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited disease that manifests as painless bilateral visual loss, usually in early adulthood. Patients with LHON associated with Multiple Sclerosis were mostly female and the association of both pathologies is termed as "Harding's disease". CASE REPORT A 21-year-old woman presented with a typical episode of optic neuritis (ON) in the right eye, which led to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis after imagiological and analytical investigation. The episodes of optic neuritis were repeated, with progressive severe visual impairment and the lack of recovery with the treatment for acute attacks, which warned the possibility of LHON. The diagnose was supported by genetic tests by detecting a mutation of the mtDNA 11778 base pair. The patient started oral Idebenone 900mg/day and remained stable for 12 months, with progressive RE visual recovery. Genetic tests for her mother were also applied and the same mutation was identified, which supports the diagnosis of LHON even in her mother, although she always remained without visual symptoms. DISCUSSION Due to the presentation and optic disc findings, LHON is frequently misdiagnosed as ON in the context of MS. However, continuous vision loss in patients with MS during the treatment should raise suspicion for an alternative diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS LHON associated with MS is suggested to be a distinct entity with challenging diagnose and more severe involvement of optic nerve. Our case highlights the importance of genetic tests in individuals who present recurrent ON, with reduced visual recovery during the treatment, even if there is a positive study for MS and no identified family history for LHON.

description: Ricci-like solitons with potential Reeb vector field are introduced and studied on almost contact B-metric manifolds. The cases of Sasaki-like manifolds and torse-forming potentials have been considered. In these cases, it is proved that the manifold admits a Ricci-like soliton if and only if the structure is Einstein-like. Explicit examples of Lie groups as 3- and 5-dimensional manifolds with the structures studied are provided.

description: The freshwater stingray Paratrygon aiereba have coloration, osteological and morphometric variations that could suggest the existence of more than one species in Colombia. In order to evaluate the phylogeography, population structure and genetic diversity for P. aiereba distributed in the Amazon and Orinoco basins, we amplified Cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) partial region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in 50 samples from eight different sub-basins. Our results suggest three phylogroups and a vicariance event occurred 43 million years ago proposing how Paratrygon diverged into the basins. A high population structure (ΦST = 0.692; p K) of 3 were defined. A high genetic diversity within phylogroups was found: Phylogroup A (h = 0.64; π% = 2.48), Phylogroup B (h = 0.552; π% = 1.67), and Phylogroup C (h = 0.49; π% = 0.73). These results should be considered in local management plans, conservation programs and reclassification in at least Amazon and Orinoco.

description: Purpose: Retinal folds (RF) are an underestimated complication of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery. Our aim was to report a case of spontaneous resolution of a full-thickness RF with foveal involvement following an uncomplicated pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with intraocular gas tamponade for a superior on-macula RRD. Materials and Methods: Case report. Results: A 61-year old male underwent PPV with fluid-air exchange and intraocular gas tamponade (SF6) in the left eye for a superior on-macula RRD with vitreous hemorrhage. At the end of surgery, the retina was attached with very marginal subretinal fluid. He assumed face down positioning immediately after surgery, followed by right cheek-to-pillow positioning a few hours later. One week later, the retina remained attached but the patient had developed a mildly symptomatic full-thickness RF with foveal involvement confirmed by optic coherence tomography (OCT). A conservative approach was carried out, with spontaneous progressive anatomical and functional improvement. Two months after surgery, there was only a residual RF on fundus examination and OCT and autofluorescence were unremarkable. The patient was asymptomatic and best corrected visual acuity was 20/25. Conclusion: Full-thickness macular folds following RRD surgery may be present even after on macula RRD repair. Our case report illustrates that they may have a spontaneous regression with complete functional recovery, in accordance with a few other publications on this topic. As such, conservative management might be indicated even in full-thickness RF if the patient has few complaints and a reasonable visual function.

description: With its total active silicon area of about 200 squaremetres and more than 15000 silicon modules the silicon strip tracker of the CMS experiment at the LHC will be the largest silicon strip detector ever built. While the performance of single silicon modules has already been tested extensively in various test beam experiments, the performance of larger integrated substructures also had to be studied with a particle beam before launching mass production, in order to ensure the envisaged performance of the overall system. In May/June 2004 the performance of a system of two petals of the tracker end caps (TEC), which represents about 1% of the full TEC and forms an autonomous unit in terms of data acquisition, has been studied in a test beam experiment at CERN. In this document the test beam experiment is described and results are presented.

description: Rural economy has an important role in rural sustainable development in every region or country. However, the rural economy in Iran is too much depending on agriculture and development of other rural economy in particular nonfarm activities, has been neglected by Iranian rural communities. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the role of non-farm business on rural sustainable development in Sanandaj Township. This study was a type of surveying research and employed both questionnaire and interview tools. A four-part questionnaire (with 48 questions) was developed in order to collect data from the respondents. Likert-type responses with five scales were used to assess different sections of the questionnaires. The questionnaires’ reliability was tested by Cronbach’s Alpha technique and it was 76% (α= 0.76). A number of 279 families, 181 families with and 98 without non-farm business were selected randomly in 2011. Results of the study showed that non-farm business can contribute to employment growth, income generating, and prevent seasonal and permanent migration from rural areas. Based on the results, non-farm business and non-farm industries need to be strongly invested by financial facilities through rural cooperatives and unions. Additionally, encouraging rural participation is essential in non-farms and industrial activities.

description: This study examined the effects of trade liberalization and exchange rate changes on carbohydrate staples in Nigeria. Secondary data published from 1974 to 2006 on cassava exports and rice imports as well as non-tradable carbohydrate staples were used. It was hypothesized that exchange rate changes and trade liberalization via price relatives, trade intensity and nominal protection coefficient have affected prices of carbohydrate staples in Nigeria. Results show that the effects of trade liberalization on prices of non tradable carbohydrate staples were mixed. Trade liberalization accounted for most changes in the price of non tradable rice than other crops. World prices positively affected the prices of maize and non tradable rice. Also increasing exchange rate will lead to increase in price of non tradable rice due to price competition with imported rice. The intensification of liberalization exercise from the removal of quantitative restriction to use of tariff, among other recommendations, should be encouraged because it can be a remedy to the negative impact of increase in the trade intensity and erosion of nominal protection coefficient on prices of the non tradable crops.

description: The purpose of this research was to study the effects of four personal and social variables including the age, literacy, job experience and size of herd on different variables such as implementing of managerial strategies in transition period, relevant costs of these strategies, average production per head and gross income of milk sale per head. For this purpose all required information were collected through questionnaire distribution among the owners of commercial dairy farms of Shahroud district. This questionnaire was included three parts. Relevant information about personal and social indices was inserted in first part. Second part included of relevant information about performance and non-performance of considered managerial strategies in transition period and third part was about relevant information about production and economic records. Finally all information about 50 herds was obtained and compared as well. Data analysis was through applying Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) method. Also it was possible to specify any relation among independent and dependent variables through calculation of Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Finally it was revealed that social and personal factors have a significant effect on the implementation of management strategies and other independent factors.

description: Chern insulator ferromagnets are characterized by a quantized anomalous Hall effect, and have so far been identified experimentally in magnetically-doped topological insulator (MTI) thin films and in bilayer graphene moir{é} superlattices. We classify Chern insulator ferromagnets as either spin or orbital, depending on whether the orbital magnetization results from spontaneous spin-polarization combined with spin-orbit interactions, as in the MTI case, or directly from spontaneous orbital currents, as in the moir{é} superlattice case. We argue that in a given magnetic state, characterized for example by the sign of the anomalous Hall effect, the magnetization of an orbital Chern insulator will often have opposite signs for weak $n$ and weak $p$ electrostatic or chemical doping. This property enables pure electrical switching of a magnetic state in the presence of a fixed magnetic field.

We find, at both wavelengths, clear evidence of a decrease in the emission from the lobes. This decrease, of orden 20-30%, has not been observed previously in any ultracompact H II region. Most likely, it is due to recombination of the ionized gas in the lobes as a result of a decrease in the available ionizing photon flux. It is unclear if this decrease in the ionizing photon flux is due to an intrinsic change in the exciting star or to increased absorption of ionizing photons in the optically-thick core of the nebula.

description: To evaluate the effect of water, tape drip and furrow irrigation methods on the performance components and features of Agria cultivar potato, an experiment was carried out in the agriculture faculty of Kermanshah. Repeated three times, this study was carried out in the form of full random blocks with the main factor of different amounts of irrigation water in three levels (50, 75, and100 percent of cumulative evaporation from an A- class evaporation pan) and the secondary factor of irrigation method (including drip and furrow irrigations). At 3 repetitions, results showed that the minimum performance (19.168 tons per hectare) was related to the drip irrigation method with 50 percent evaporation from the A-class pan and the maximum one (34.455 tons per hectare) was related to the drip irrigation method with 100 percent evaporation from the A-class pan. The rate of irrigation and effectiveness of method on the number of the main stem per square meter and number of the main stem in the bush were not significant. The minimum percent (number of tubers) of tubers smaller than 35mm (26.47percent) and the maximum tuber production (37.17 percent) in the size of food and market-friendly (tuber bigger than 55mm) were attained by drip irrigation method with 100 percent evaporation from the A-class pan. The impact of Irrigation method on and the specific gravity of tubers and starch (dry matter) was and was not significant, respectively.

description: This article proposes a Python-based Amtrak and Weather Underground (PAWU) tool to collect data on Amtrak (the main passenger train operator in the United States) departure and arrival times with weather information. In addition, this article offers a database, developed with PAWU, of the operating characteristics of 16 Amtrak routes from 2008 to 2019. More specifically, PAWU enables users to retrieve Amtrak departure and arrival times of any train number throughout the United States. It then automatically retrieves weather information from Weather Underground for each rail station and stores the data collected in a local MySQL database. Users can easily select any desired train number(s) and date range(s) without dealing with the code and the raw data from those sources that are in different formats. The database itself can be used, in part, to develop, apply, and benchmark models that assess the performance of rail services such as the one offered by Amtrak.

description: Sunflower is one of four main annual oil plants that cultivated in oil and nut varieties. This plant as an important and industrial food product and because of nutritional features and the potential for earning exchange has become a valuable product in foreign and inner markets and has a special position in agricultural sector. Khoy, by producing 40 percent of sunflower productions of country annually, is the greatest sunflower producer in Iran. The main purpose of this study is the analysis of the effects of inputs price liberalization on production of sunflower producers in this city. This study is according to a field research and cross-sectional data of 2009 have been used for it. Results show input price liberalization policy by increasing inputs prices and decreasing demand amounts of inputs, increases the production costs and decreases the production and totally it`s harmful for sunflower producers. For preventing negative effects of liberalization on production, adopting necessary policies such as merging small farms and making big ones to profit by economies of scale and increasing production and productivity with the resulted incomes from liberalization and spending them in scientific researches to produce with low costs are suggested.

description: There is a simple bound on how fast the entanglement entropy of a subregion of a many-body quantum system can saturate in a quench: $t_\text{sat}\geq R/v_B$, where $t_\text{sat}$ is the saturation time, $R$ the radius of the largest inscribed sphere, and $v_B$ the butterfly velocity characterizing operator growth. By combining analytic and numerical approaches, we show that in systems with a holographic dual, the saturation time is equal to this lower bound for a variety of differently shaped entangling surfaces, implying that the dual black holes saturate the entanglement entropy as fast as possible. This finding adds to the growing list of tasks that black holes are the fastest at. We furthermore analyze the complete time evolution of entanglement entropy for large regions with a variety of shapes, yielding more detailed information about the process of thermalization in these systems.

Year: 1995
Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: Following an introduction explaining the genesis of the paper, section II briefly reviews some relevant literature and concepts. On the basis of this review, section III develops an outline evolutionary model of policy development. Section IV outlines the history and present status of the EU policy (here illustrated by the cereals policy which is taken as archetypal for the CAP as a whole) within this framework. Thus, it characterises the policy history in broad evolutionary terms, emphasising the "fitness for purpose" of various manifestations of the policy organism. The key conclusion from this section is that the present policy situation cannot be described as "fit" - it is subject to too much conflict between its pheno-genotype and the present (rather new) policy environment. This conclusion is in distinct contrast to more conventional views about the status of the present policy and to the current view from within the policy-making bureaucracy. Section V develops some of the implications of this analysis for the future development of the policy. Section VI offers some broad conclusions.

description: A new numerical finite difference code has been developed to solve a thermal convection of a Boussinesq fluid with infinite Prandtl number in a three-dimensional spherical shell. A kind of the overset (Chimera) grid named ``Yin-Yang grid'' is used for the spatial discretization. The grid naturally avoids the pole problems which are inevitable in the latitude-longitude grids. The code is applied to numerical simulations of mantle convection with uniform and variable viscosity. The validity of the Yin-Yang grid for the mantle convection simulation is confirmed.

description: Australian agriculture has undergone considerable change in structure and location. However, the broad rate of structural change in Australian agriculture is found to be not significantly different from that of other OECD countries. A major reduction in small farms has occurred and the number of medium and large farms has grown discernibly. Adjustment has been especially strong in cropping, dairying and the intensive sectors. The possible emergence of a farm adjustment problem in Australia's extensive grazing industry is discussed. Dispersion of farm size increased across most of the agricultural sector in the past two decades, although the distribution of farm size has become less skewed. Australian agriculture is becoming more reliant upon cropping and Western Australia and Queensland have been important growth areas. While recently there has been growth in the intensive sector of Australian agriculture, the extensive sector continues to prevail. A vision of the future of Australian agriculture is presented in the final section.

The 1-susy approach is used to construct non-hermitian Hamiltonians with hydrogen spectra. Other non-hermitian Hamiltonians are shown to admit an extra `complex energy' at epsilon. New self-adjoint hydrogen-like Hamiltonians are also derived by using a 2-susy transformation with complex conjugate pairs epsilon, (c.c) epsilon.

Stripe-Like Inhomogeneities, Spectroscopies, Pairing, and Coherence in the High-Tc Cuprates

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: It is found that the carriers of the high-T_c cuprates are polaron-like "stripons" carrying charge and located in stripe-like inhomogeneities, "quasi-electrons" carrying charge and spin, and "svivons" carrying spin and lattice distortion. This is shown to result in the observed anomalous spectroscopic properties of the cuprates. The AF/stripe-like inhomogeneities result from the Bose condensation of the svivon field, and the speed of their dynamics is determined by the width of the double-svivon neutron-resonance peak. Pairing results from transitions between pair states of stripons and quasi-electrons through the exchange of svivons. The obtained pairing symmetry is of the d_{x^2-y^2} type; however, sign reversal through the charged stripes results in features not characteristic of this symmetry. The phase diagram is determined by a pairing and a coherence line, associated with a Mott transition, and the pseudogap state corresponds to incoherent pairing.

description: We obtain sharp error rates in the local limit theorem for the Sinai billiard map (one and two dimensional) with infinite horizon. This result allows us to further obtain higher order terms and thus, sharp mixing rates in the speed of mixing of dynamically Hölder observables for the planar and tubular infinite horizon Lorentz gases in the map (discrete time) case. We also obtain an asymptotic estimate for the tail probability of the first return time to the initial cell. In the process, we study families of transfer operators for infinite horizon Sinai billiards perturbed with the free flight function and obtain higher order expansions for the associated families of eigenvalues and eigenprojectors.

description: We propose a general impulsive model for scattering of molecules from a flat solid surface. It is assumed within the framework of this model that an encounter of an atom (or ion) with the surface is a series of elastic (in the direction normal to the surface) hits of the atom against surface pseudoparticles, the hits instantly following each other. To each atom, one assigns two infinite sequences of masses of pseudoparticles. The model is a far-reaching generalization of the well-known hard cube model. Criteria for both finiteness and infinity of series of hits are formulated, based on the masses of pseudoparticles and the mass of the atom. It is shown that in virtually all the cases, any number of hits in a series occurs with a positive probability. The proposed model does not satisfy the reciprocity condition.

description: Introduction: Phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis is an uncommon and often misdiagnosed ocular immunological disorder, secondary to ocular or systemic illness, that usually responds well to topical steroids. In a few cases, it can be refractory or steroid dependent, hindering treatment. Case Report: A healthy 12-year-old dark skin female without prior ocular or systemic disease presented in our department with a corneal ulcer and centripetal corneal neovascularization in the left eye and phlyctenules in both eyes, without blepharitis. Testing for different possible inciting agents, such as chlamydia and tuberculosis, was negative. During the follow-up, the patient presented episodes of chalazia and facial pustules and the diagnosis of bilateral phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis secondary to recurrent ocular rosacea was presumed. As soon as the corneal ulcer was completely healed, the patient started topical corticosteroid treatment with clinical improvement. After several failed attempts of steroids tapering, topical cyclosporine was added to therapy, enabling corticosteroid discontinuation. Discussion: Phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis is frequently caused by a hypersensitivity reaction to microorganisms, such as staphylococcus species and mycobacterium tuberculosis, but it can be also associated with ocular rosacea without evidence of other inciting agents. The progression of phlyctenulosis to severe complications, as corneal scarring or even perforation, can compromise visual acuity at an early age and for that reason it is important to find and treat any inciting agent for the successful management of this disease. Even with adequate treatment for ocular rosacea with steroids, side effects of long-term therapy to control recurrent ocular inflammation grants topical cyclosporine an important role in disease management.

description: The freshwater stingray Paratrygon aiereba have coloration, osteological and morphometric variations that could suggest the existence of more than one species in Colombia. In order to evaluate the phylogeography, population structure and genetic diversity for P. aiereba distributed in the Amazon and Orinoco basins, we amplified Cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) partial region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in 50 samples from eight different sub-basins. Our results suggest three phylogroups and a vicariance event occurred 43 million years ago proposing how Paratrygon diverged into the basins. A high population structure (ΦST  = 0.692; p K) of 3 were defined. A high genetic diversity within phylogroups was found: Phylogroup A (h = 0.64; π% = 2.48), Phylogroup B (h = 0.552; π% = 1.67), and Phylogroup C (h = 0.49; π% = 0.73). These results should be considered in local management plans, conservation programs and reclassification in at least Amazon and Orinoco.

description: This analysis compares net returns of conventional and alternative agricultural cropping systems in northeast Kansas, with and without government commodity programs. The highest net return is consistently from the alternative system, wheat/clover-sorghum-soybeans. Sensitivity analysis reveals that the economic performances of the alternative systems are sensitive to yield penalties.

description: Purpose: Evaluate the Anterior Segment Swept-source Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) imaging features of medial rectus with previous surgery and to study the association of this features with the surgical plan. Methods: Evaluation of 43 control eyes (Group A) and 25 eyes submitted to medial rectus surgery (Group B). AS-OCT scans were obtained on lateral gaze at a fixation light. Muscle insertion(MI) was detected using a graphical user interface(GUI) that identifies the corneo-scleral junction automatically and obtain a automatic muscle insertion to corneo-scleral(ML) distance. All algorithms and GUI were built as a unified tool in MATLAB.A receiver operating curve analysis (ROC) was used to identify cutt-off values from eye with previous muscle recession. Results: In group B, 6 eyes were submitted to resection (23,1%), 5 eyes to faden operation (19,2%) and 6 eyes to recession (23,1%) and 8 eyes to a combination of recession and faden operation (34,6%). In group A, the mean ML distance was 5,12mm [+/-0,47mm]. On recession the mean ML distance was 7,50mm [+/- 1,01mm] and we found a strong correlation between the ML distance and the surgical plane (r=0.77; p<0.01). On faden operation the ML distance was not statistically different from Group A (p=0.88). In our resection cohort we verified that ML distance was statistically different from patients in control group (p < 0.01) and non-different from eyes submitted to recession surgery. Conclusion: AS-OCT evaluation of the ML distance have a strong correlation with the surgical plan and may identify with high sensitivity muscles submitted to surgery.

Noise Estimation in HPC Cloud Networks

description: As computing is moved more and more to the cloud due to scalability, affordability and availability, so are high performance computing (HPC) clusters. It is expensive to build a real-world cluster that needs the scale and performance to run the highest predicted load but is not used to its full extent most of the time. Additionally, by relying on cloud services, the highly specialised workforce needed to maintain the cluster is no longer needed. As a result, more work can be put into the development of applications. With clusters in the cloud, it is possible to build a specific cluster just for the time it is used and with exactly the characteristics that are needed. This significantly lowers the cost of running HPC applications and opens up the possibility to run such applications to a wider variety of researchers and the public. The decreased cost and ease of use of such systems further increase the availability of running HPC workloads. Some leading providers such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google all have their special tailored solutions that try to provide a replication of the performance that a local cluster delivers. Each provider has its solutions to ensure that the nodes that make up the cluster are connected by a consistent high throughput, low latency network and that the virtualisation and sharing of the hardware have no noticeable impact on the performance. But do these promises hold and can it be expected to see the advertised performance on these systems? In this thesis, we start to answer this question. We show differences between the providers and that Azure performs the best and most similar to a non-virtualised cluster.

description: Objective: In clinical practice, small lung nodules can be easily overlooked by radiologists. The paper aims to provide an efficient and accurate detection system for small lung nodules while keeping good performance for large nodules. Methods: We propose a multi-planar detection system using convolutional neural networks. The 2-D convolutional neural network model, U-net++, was trained by axial, coronal, and sagittal slices for the candidate detection task. All possible nodule candidates from the three different planes are combined. For false positive reduction, we apply 3-D multi-scale dense convolutional neural networks to efficiently remove false positive candidates. We use the public LIDC-IDRI dataset which includes 888 CT scans with 1186 nodules annotated by four radiologists. Results: After ten-fold cross-validation, our proposed system achieves a sensitivity of 94.2% with 1.0 false positive/scan and a sensitivity of 96.0% with 2.0 false positives/scan. Although it is difficult to detect small nodules (i.e. < 6 mm), our designed CAD system reaches a sensitivity of 93.4% (95.0%) of these small nodules at an overall false positive rate of 1.0 (2.0) false positives/scan. At the nodule candidate detection stage, results show that a multi-planar method is capable to detect more nodules compared to using a single plane. Conclusion: Our approach achieves good performance not only for small nodules, but also for large lesions on this dataset. This demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of our developed CAD system for lung nodule detection. Significance: The proposed system could provide support for radiologists on early detection of lung cancer.
