description: We present a weak-lensing analysis of X-ray galaxy groups and clusters selected from the XMM-XXL survey using the first-year data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program. Our joint weak-lensing and X-ray analysis focuses on 136 spectroscopically confirmed X-ray-selected systems at 0.031 < z < 1.033 detected in the 25sqdeg XXL-N region. We characterize the mass distributions of individual clusters and establish the concentration-mass (c-M) relation for the XXL sample, by accounting for selection bias and statistical effects, and marginalizing over the remaining mass calibration uncertainty. We find the mass-trend parameter of the c-M relation to be β= -0.07 \pm 0.28 and the normalization to be c200 = 4.8 \pm 1.0 (stat) \pm 0.8 (syst) at M200=10^{14}Msun/h and z = 0.3. We find no statistical evidence for redshift evolution. Our weak-lensing results are in excellent agreement with dark-matter-only c-M relations calibrated for recent LCDM cosmologies. The level of intrinsic scatter in c200 is constrained as σ(\ln[c200]) < 24% (99.7% CL), which is smaller than predicted for the full population of LCDM halos. This is likely caused in part by the X-ray selection bias in terms of the relaxation state. We determine the temperature-mass (Tx-M500) relation for a subset of 105 XXL clusters that have both measured HSC lensing masses and X-ray temperatures. The resulting Tx-M500 relation is consistent with the self-similar prediction. Our Tx-M500 relation agrees with the XXL DR1 results at group scales, but has a slightly steeper mass trend, implying a smaller mass scale in the cluster regime. The overall offset in the Tx-M500 relation is at the $1.5σ$ level, corresponding to a mean mass offset of (34\pm 20)%. We also provide bias-corrected, weak-lensing-calibrated M200 and M500 mass estimates of individual XXL clusters based on their measured X-ray temperatures.

Chitosan-Based Quartz Crystal Microbalance for Alcohol Sensing

description: Short-chain alcohols are a group of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are often found in workplaces and laboratories, as well as medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Realtime monitoring of alcohol vapors is essential because exposure to alcohol vapors with concentrations of 0.15–0.30 mg·L−1 may be harmful to human health. This study aims to improve the detection capabilities of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)-based sensors for the analysis of alcohol vapors. The active layer of chitosan was immobilized onto the QCM substrate through a selfassembled monolayer of L-cysteine using glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent. Before alcohol analysis, the QCM sensing chip was exposed to humidity because water vapor significantly interferes with QCM gas sensing. The prepared QCM sensor chip was tested for the detection of four different alcohols: n-propanol, ethanol, isoamyl alcohol, and n-amyl alcohol. For comparison, a non-alcohol of acetone was also tested. The prepared QCM sensing chip is selective to alcohols because of hydrogen bond formation between the hydroxyl groups of chitosan and the analyte. The highest response was achieved when the QCM sensing chip was exposed to n-amyl alcohol vapor, with a sensitivity of about 4.4 Hz·mg−1·L. Generally, the sensitivity of the QCM sensing chip is dependent on the molecular weight of alcohol. Moreover, the developed QCM sensing chips are stable after 10 days of repeated measurements, with a rapid response time of only 26 s. The QCM sensing chip provides an alternative method to established analytical methods such as gas chromatography for the detection of short-chain alcohol vapors.

description: The 2011 US Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) represents a major initiative to improve food safety. The legislation mandates the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with developing a regulatory system to implement the Act. Both domestic and foreign firms that wish to supply US consumers with food will face a considerable increase in regulatory costs. Implementation has proved challenging for the FDA leading to delays which increase investment risks for foreign suppliers, particulalry from developing countries. This paper sets out the major FSMA requirements and examines how the regulatory burden may fall on foreign versus US suppliers.

description: We consider the effects of black hole tilt on accretion disk alignment, studying three initial black hole tilts,6 degrees, 12 degrees and 24 degrees, with both magnetohydrodynamic and (inviscid) hydrodynamic evolution. In a number of ways, but not all, the dynamics are homologous in the sense that the alignment fronts resulting from different initial tilts are very similar when analyzed in terms of the fraction of the initial tilt angle. Even when the initial misalignment is 24 degrees, which, for the sound speed studied, is 4 vertical scale heights at the disk fiducial radius, the surface density remains a smooth function of radius; i.e., we find no examples in which the disk inner aligned and outer misaligned regions separate, or "break".

description: Abstract: Chronic immune-mediated diseases of adulthood often originate in early childhood. To investigate genetic associations between neonatal immunity and disease, we map expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) in resting myeloid cells and CD4+ T cells from cord blood samples, as well as in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or phytohemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation, respectively. Cis-eQTLs are largely specific to cell type or stimulation, and 31% and 52% of genes with cis-eQTLs have response eQTLs (reQTLs) in myeloid cells and T cells, respectively. We identified cis regulatory factors acting as mediators of trans effects. There is extensive colocalisation between condition-specific neonatal cis-eQTLs and variants associated with immune-mediated diseases, in particular CTSH had widespread colocalisation across diseases. Mendelian randomisation shows causal neonatal gene expression effects on disease risk for BTN3A2, HLA-C and others. Our study elucidates the genetics of gene expression in neonatal immune cells, and aetiological origins of autoimmune and allergic diseases.

The frequencies of multipole density fluctuations are determined as a function of dilution and temperature, for several isotopes. The spinodal region of the phase diagrams is determined and it appears that instabilities are reduced by finite size effects. The role of surface and volume instabilities is discussed. It is indicated that the important chemical effects associated with mechanical disruption may lead to isospin fractionation.

description: The main result of this paper is a decomposition theorem for a measure on the one-dimensional torus. Given a sufficiently large subset $S$ of the positive integers, an arbitrary measure on the torus is decomposed as the sum of two measures. The first one $μ_1$ has the property that the random walk with initial distribution $μ_1$ evolved by the action of $S$ equidistributes very fast. The second measure $μ_2$ in the decomposition is concentrated on very small neighborhoods of a small number of points.

description: Guiné-Bissau is a recent example of political stabilization after a recent period of instability, where the international community can play an important role in cooperation and development, but with innovation and new effective policies. Food security is certainly one of the big issues to be addressed and cashew production and respective chain value one of the main opportunities to improve the quality of life for many families. Guinea-Bissau can be considered one of the most fragile countries in Sub-Sahara Africa, but at the same time with significant economic potential. Poverty alleviation is very much dependent from agricultural activities and agribusiness will be always at the core of the most possible solutions. Within those possible solutions the contribution of the cashew sector is crucial, which has been playing already a key role in the economy and in the family survival equation. More than 80% of the families depend from agricultural activities and most of them are linked to the production of cashew. This crop represents more than 90% of exports, and at the same time is responsible for income alleviation resources at local family base. However Cashew expansion is a very recent phenomena, with about 20 years of success, beyond all political “turmoil.” Today the country is the second biggest in Africa, after Ivory Coast, and the fourth worldwide (also after India and Vietnam). Exports were around 20 thousand tons in 1990 and close to 200 thousand tons in the last year’s production. But the most important factors to be considered in a cash crop business is also a very “unique” structure of production, mostly family based and where the average dimension of production per family is dominantly between 1 to 2 hectares. Very much related to those structural characteristics, which vary by region, is the role of this crop in the food security dimension of the families, which is calculated to represent in average 4,8 months of income needs for food per year. The research addresses the Cashew chain value in Guiné-Bissau, added value possibilities with transformation, better markets, improved institutional environment and other alternatives aiming to promote the global value creation but also the dynamics of the food system, able to promote the family welfare and a sustainable development process.

description: The purpose of this paper is to examine the classification of profit-sharing investment accounts (PSIA) under various accounting standards, and determine whether Islamic banks maintain uniform practices when the same accounting standards are applied. It also aims to determine whether Islamic banks consider investment account holders (IAH) important financial statement users by disclosing necessary information pertaining to PSIA. A sample comprised of financial statements from 63 Islamic banks from 15 countries is compared with respect to the information related to PSIA were studied. The results show heterogeneity of classification for PSIA. Applying the same standards does not lead to the uniform classification of PSIA when banks apply International Financial Reporting Standards, while financial statements applying Financial Accounting Standards by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions are more similar. The perplexity in classifying PSIA brings obscurity on the treatment for PSIA related accounts, particularly returns attributable to IAH. The fact of fewer disclosures pertaining to PSIA in Islamic banks—which apply accounting standards not specifically tailored to Islamic finance—suggests that IAH receive less attention under those accounting standards.

description: The domain of governance has largely been extolled by Nations, States or governmental and intergovernmental actors especially in upholding Nations’ sovereignty and values. While this still holds, governance complexity has been reinforced by establishment of global value chains such as in food and agriculture commodities increasingly being influenced and controlled by non-state actors in different parts of the world by both corporate and retail actors through private governance mechanisms. These mechanisms often fall short of universal standards and the resultant effect is ramified through proliferation of standards that result to state of governance that is constantly being redefined as ‘codes of colours’. This paper thus seeks for an alternate dimension based on Foucault’s governmentality theory. The quest for this overarching theory is based on its mediatory role that regulates the excesses of private interests in regulations while not prioritizing any state’s sovereignty but views governance inclusively to both the State and non-state actors; this view promotes the broader understating of global value chains in the global economy of the 21st century. The paper’s methodology is based on literature review pertinent to governance theory, value chain governance, governmentality as its key variables in light of the agrifood sector. It applies the value chain discourse and governmentatity in light of the Kenya’s Horticultural export and strategic positioning to the EU market. This paper’s novelty in light of the discourse and building on the body of knowledge and for the plausible ways and means to re-articulate value chain governance in the global economy while creating a viable alternative between the States, and Non-State actors for the benefit of both the upstream agents and downstream customers.

description: This paper proposes an application of clonal selection immune system method for optimization of distribution network. The distribution network with high-performance is a network that has a low power loss, better voltage profile, and loading balance among feeders. The task for improving the performance of the distribution network is optimization of network configuration. The optimization has become a necessary study with the presence of DG in entire networks. In this work, optimization of network configuration is based on an AIS algorithm. The methodology has been tested in a model of 33 bus IEEE radial distribution networks with and without DG integration. The results have been showed that the optimal configuration of the distribution network is able to reduce power loss and to improve the voltage profile of the distribution network significantly.

description: Vertical collaborations in supply chains imply the achievement of mutual benefits for the participating partners such as increasing sales, reducing costs and risks and improving the overall performance. However, the benefits are sometimes difficult to gain due to existing differences in interests and goals of the individual chain members. Thus, conflicts are inevitable. Power can be seen as one of the mechanisms to resolve conflicts in supply chains. By and large, the findings provide support that power could have a profound impact on conflict resolution in vertical collaborations. However, in order to successfully resolve conflicts the knowledge of different power types is essential.

description: In the present study, novel gastroretentive bilayer tablets were developed that are promising for the once-a-day oral delivery of the drug candidate MT-1207. The gastroretentive layer consisted of a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers, namely polyethylene oxide and Kollidon® SR. A factorial experiment was conducted, and the results revealed a non-effervescent gastroretentive layer that, unlike most gastroretentive layers reported in the literature, was easy to prepare, and provided immediate tablet buoyancy (mean floating lag time of 1.5 s) that lasted over 24 h in fasted state simulated gastric fluid (FaSSGF) pH 1.6, irrespective of the drug layer, thereby allowing a 24-hour sustained release of MT-1207 from the drug layer of the tablets. Furthermore, during in vitro buoyancy testing of the optimised bilayer tablets in media of different pH values (1.0, 3.0, 6.0), the significant difference (one-way ANOVA, p < 0.001) between the respective total floating times indicated that stomach pH effects on tablet buoyancy are important to be considered during the development of non-effervescent gastroretentive formulations and the choice of dosing regimen. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been reported before, and it should probably be factored in when designing dosing regimens. Finally, a pharmacokinetic study in Beagle dogs indicated a successful in vivo 24-hour sustained release of MT-1207 from the optimised gastroretentive bilayer tablet formulations with the drug plasma concentration remaining above the estimated minimum effective concentration of 1 ng/mL at the 24-hour timepoint and also demonstrated the gastroretentive capabilities of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer combination. The optimised formulations will be forwarded to clinical development.

description: Abstract: Many volcanoes erupt compositionally homogeneous magmas over timescales ranging from decades to millennia. This monotonous activity is thought to reflect a high degree of chemical homogeneity in their magmatic systems, leading to predictable eruptive behaviour. We combine petrological analyses of erupted crystals with new thermodynamic models to characterise the diversity of melts in magmatic systems beneath monotonous shield volcanoes in the Galápagos Archipelago (Wolf and Fernandina). In contrast with the uniform basaltic magmas erupted at the surface over long timescales, we find that the sub-volcanic systems contain extreme heterogeneity, with melts extending to rhyolitic compositions. Evolved melts are in low abundance and large volumes of basalt flushing through the crust from depth overprint their chemical signatures. This process will only maintain monotonous activity while the volume of melt entering the crust is high, raising the possibility of transitions to more silicic activity given a decrease in the crustal melt flux.

description: Most studies of shame have focused on stigma as a form of social response and a socio-psychological consequence of mental illness. This study aims at exploring more complex Javanese meanings of shame in relation to psychotic illness. Six psychotic patients and their family members participated in this research. Ethnographic fieldwork was conducted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Thematic analysis of the data showed that participants used shame in three different ways. First, as a cultural index of illness and recovery. Family members identified their member as being ill when they had lost their sense of shame. If a patient exhibited behavior that indicated the reemergence of shame, the family saw this as an indication of recovery. Second, as an indication of relapse. Third, as a barrier toward recovery. In conclusion, shame is used as a cultural index of illness and recovery because it associated with the moral-behavioral control. Shame may also be regarded as a form of consciousness associated with the emergence of insight. Further study with a larger group of sample is needed to explore shame as a ‘socio-cultural marker’ for psychotic illness in Java.

description: Diet modifications are explored for the mitigation of greenhouse gases emissions worldwide. The current paper aims at estimating the carbon footprint of the diet of the Greek consumers in 2011. Based on food items consumption data, equivalent CO2 emission factors, the total carbon footprint associated with the per capita Greek diet patterns is calculated. Data for this task are retrieved from readily available resources of existent literature. The per capita carbon footprint resulting from the consumption of food items in Greece in 2011 for the reference scenario is calculated to be 1,827.4 kg CO2/y. In addition, alternative diet scenarios are proposed, their carbon footprint is calculated and suggestions are made for possible sustainable dietary changes. The results indicate that transition to a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet constitutes a very drastic change towards mitigating greenhouse gases. However its acceptance by the public is very questionable. Thus, the second alternative scenario, which anticipates the substitution of beef by mainly pork and chicken, becomes more relevant. These results could serve as a yardstick for policy interventions aiming at reducing GHG emissions via diet modifications in Greece.

Gluino-containing hadrons corresponding to the second window produce EAS very different from the observed ones. Light $\tilde g$-hadrons corresponding to the first gluino window produce EAS similar to those initiated by protons, and only future detectors can marginally distinguish them. We propose a beam-dump accelerator experiment to search for $\tilde g$-hadrons in this mass window. We emphasize the importance of this experiment: it can discover (or exclude) the light gluino and its role as a cosmic ray primary at ultra high energies.

description: The liquid spinodal, which is the bedrock of water thermodynamics, has long been discussed alongside the elusive liquid-liquid critical point hidden behind the limit of homogeneous nucleation. This has inspired numerous scenarios that attempt to explain water anomalies. Despite recent breakthrough experiments eliminating several of thous scenarios, we lacked a tool to localize the spinodal and the liquid-liquid critical point. We constructed a unique equation of state combining the famous Speedy's equation and the liquid-liquid critical point to remove that deficit and to review these explanations. For the first time, the proposed equation of state independently depicts the spinodal in the presence of the liquid-liquid critical point and demonstrates that the explanation for water anomalies based on the reentrance of the spinodal is not valid; this feature (reentering the spinodal) was solely predicted based on the curved density surface caused by the existence of the second critical point. However, the critical point alone is not sufficient to explain the shape of the density surface of water. In the new equation, hydrogen bond cooperativity is important to force the critical point to exist outside of zero temperature. Together with mounting evidence for the existence of a compressibility maximum behind the homogeneous nucleation limit at positive pressure, the findings practically exclude all explanations for water anomalies except for the existence of the liquid-liquid critical point at positive pressure. Finally, an extensive study of heat capacity demonstrated profound disagreement between the two major experimental heat capacity datasets and identified the more accurate dataset.

description: Nonconfining Schwinger Model [AR] is studied with a one parameter class of kinetic energy like regularization. It may be thought of as a generalization over the regularization considered in [AR]. Phasespace structure has been determined in this new situation. The mass of the gauge boson acquires a generalized expression with the bare coupling constant and the parameters involved in the regularization. Deconfinement scenario has become transparent at the quark-antiquark potential level.

description: This paper analyses the behaviour of Albanian apple growers and their relations with buyers based on a structured survey. We develop a model of relational governance that highlights the importance of sustainable (lasting) relationships and draws upon different theoretical frameworks such as transaction cost economics and social network theory and focuses on determinants of relational exchange. The findings support the social network argument that the presence of verbal agreements between business partners strongly and positively affects exchange relationships. Asset specificity and competition among buyers also affects such relationships. The results and their implications at the management and policy-making level are discussed in detail.

description: Abstract: Flagellotropic bacteriophages engage flagella to reach the bacterial surface as an effective means to increase the capture radius for predation. Structural details of these viruses are of great interest given the substantial drag forces and torques they face when moving down the spinning flagellum. We show that the main capsid and auxiliary proteins form two nested chainmails that ensure the integrity of the bacteriophage head. Core stabilising structures are conserved in herpesviruses suggesting their ancestral origin. The structure of the tail also reveals a robust yet pliable assembly. Hexameric rings of the tail-tube protein are braced by the N-terminus and a β-hairpin loop, and interconnected along the tail by the splayed β-hairpins. By contrast, we show that the β-hairpin has an inhibitory role in the tail-tube precursor, preventing uncontrolled self-assembly. Dyads of acidic residues inside the tail-tube present regularly-spaced motifs well suited to DNA translocation into bacteria through the tail.

description: We construct the Google matrices of bitcoin transactions for all year quarters during the period of January 11, 2009 till April 10, 2013. During the last quarters the network size contains about 6 million users (nodes) with about 150 million transactions. From PageRank and CheiRank probabilities, analogous to trade import and export, we determine the dimensionless trade balance of each user and model the contagion propagation on the network assuming that a user goes bankrupt if its balance exceeds a certain dimensionless threshold $κ$. We find that the phase transition takes place for $κ0.55$ almost all users remain safe. We find that even on a distance from the critical threshold $κ_c$ the top PageRank and CheiRank users, as a house of cards, rapidly drop to the bankruptcy. We attribute this effect to strong interconnections between these top users which we determine with the reduced Google matrix algorithm. This algorithm allows to establish efficiently the direct and indirect interactions between top PageRank users. We argue that this study models the contagion on real financial networks.

description: Color superconductivity of QCD at finite density, temperature and flavor asymmetry is studied within an approximation which the interaction is modeled upon four--fermion interactions. We calculate the thermodynamic potential in the so-called NJL-type model and study the phase structure at finite density, temperature and flavor asymmetry. We find that a mixed phase appears at sufficiently large flavor asymmetry and low temperature. A tricritical point in the $T$-$μ_B$-$μ_I$ plane is also found.

description: This paper presents the first assessment of PlanetScope image for benthic habitat and seagrass species mapping in optically shallow water. PlanetScope image is equipped with ideal resolutions for benthic habitat and seagrass mapping including high-spatial resolution (3 m), high radiometric resolution (12-bit), sufficient water penetration bands (Visible-Near-infrared) and very high temporal resolution (almost daily), which distinguishes it from other high spatial resolution images. It is necessary to assess the accuracy of this ideal system in a real-world benthic habitat and seagrass species mapping application. The optically shallow water of Karimunjawa Islands was selected as the study area. Two PlanetScope images acquired on 17 May 2017 and 15 August 2017 were tested as a control for the consistency of PlanetScope image accuracy. Several treatments were applied to both PlanetScope images including atmospheric correction, sunglint correction, Principle Component Analysis (PCA), Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF) and Linear Spectral Unmixing (LSU). Per-pixel classification algorithms (including Maximum Likelihood – ML, Support Vector Machine – SVM, and Classification Tree Analysis – CTA) and Objectbased Image Analysis (OBIA) were used to perform benthic habitat and seagrass species classification. Spectra-based classifications were also applied to classify seagrass species using seagrass species spectra as input endmember. The results indicated that PlanetScope images produced 47.13–50.00% overall accuracy (OA) for benthic habitat mapping consist of five classes (coral reefs, macroalgae, seagrass, bare substratum, dead coral) and 74.03–74.31% OA for seagrass species mapping consist of five seagrass species classes. The accuracy of PlanetScope images for benthic habitat and seagrass species mapping was comparable to other high spatial resolution images. The performance of PlanetScope images was also consistent, shown by the similar accuracy obtained from May and August image. The concern regarding PlanetScope image was the low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) over homogeneous areas such as optically deep water, which led to the failure of performing sunglint correction and obtaining higher accuracy. To conclude, with the very high temporal resolution, PlanetScope image is promising for monitoring the dynamics and changes of benthic habitat and seagrass species composition, and rapid assessment of extreme events impacts, especially in coastal areas with limited accessibility.

description: We apply Frobenius integrability theorem in the search of invariants for one-dimensional Hamiltonian systems with a time-dependent potential. We obtain several classes of potential functions for which Frobenius theorem assures the existence of a two-dimensional foliation to which the motion is constrained. In particular, we derive a new infinite class of potentials for which the motion is assurately restricted to a two-dimensional foliation. In some cases, Frobenius theorem allows the explicit construction of an associated invariant. It is proven the inverse result that, if an invariant is known, then it always can be furnished by Frobenius theorem.

description: Abstract: Human embryogenesis is hallmarked by two phases of yolk sac development. The primate hypoblast gives rise to a transient primary yolk sac, which is rapidly superseded by a secondary yolk sac during gastrulation. Moreover, primate embryos form extraembryonic mesoderm prior to gastrulation, in contrast to mouse. The function of the primary yolk sac and the origin of extraembryonic mesoderm remain unclear. Here, we hypothesise that the hypoblast-derived primary yolk sac serves as a source for early extraembryonic mesoderm, which is supplemented with mesoderm from the gastrulating embryo. We discuss the intricate relationship between the yolk sac and the primate embryo and highlight the pivotal role of the yolk sac as a multifunctional hub for haematopoiesis, germ cell development and nutritional supply.
