rice varieties

description: The investigation of the rice white tip nematode Aphelenchoides besseyi infestations was carried out on rice seeds. One hundred and eleven samples of rice seeds were collected from Ayeyarwaddy, Bago, Shan State, Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw regions, Myanmar, in which various local varieties (rainfed-lowland, irrigated-lowland, quality, upland, drought tolerance, submergence, salt tolerance, aerobic and hybrid rice) were grown. Nematodes were extracted from 100 discoloured rice seeds with three replications. Aphelenchoides besseyi was detected in rice seed samples from all collected regions, in which 53 out of 111 rice seed samples were infested with A. besseyi. The maximum population was observed in upland, quality and rainfed-lowland rice varieties, ranging from 193-459 indiv. (100 rice seeds)–1. Four rainfed-lowland, one irrigated-lowland, five quality and five upland rice varieties were infested with the economic damage level of > 30 indiv. (100 rice seed)–1. The densities of A. besseyi in relation to rice varieties are discussed.
The 'new thinking' and Soviet intervention in Third World regional conflicts : the case of Angola and Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tettey, Wisdom John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Since Gorbachev entered the Kremlin, there have been dramatic changes in Soviet foreign policy. One area in which these changes, enshrined in the 'new thinking,' have had a tremendous impact concerns regional conflicts. This study analyzed the impact of the changes on the Angolan and Ethiopian conflicts in which the USSR was deeply involved. It also assessed the Soviet response to the two situations, following the emergence of the 'new thinking,' to determine its uniformity or otherwise. The changes in foreign policy led to Soviet disengagement from the two conflicts. The practical manifestations of the 'new thinking's' prescriptions did not, however, emerge until sometime in 1988 -- three years after the reforms were enunciated. The reasons underlying Soviet retrenchment in these areas included the desire to seek political solutions to regional conflicts, the deideologization of interstate relations, the new emphasis on mutually beneficial economic alliances, and the avoidance of superpower confrontation. The Soviets, thus, put pressure on their clients to make them seek peaceful solutions to the conflicts. Such pressures took the form of troop and military experts withdrawal, curtailing military assistance, etc. Moscow also extended overtures to the factions fighting its clients in order to solicit their cooperation. However, whereas the Southern African and Ethiopian-Somali conflicts were eventually resolved, the civil war in Ethiopia escalated and culminated in a violent overthrow of the government in Addis Ababa. Soviet moves towards a negotiated peace in Southern Africa were quicker and firmer than those concerning Ethiopia. This was due, partly, to the fact that until 1988 Ethiopia still held more strategic value for Moscow than did Angola. Furthermore, the military situation deteriorated faster for the MPLA than it did for the Mengistu regime. The Angolan government was also more receptive to the peace process than was Addis Ababa. On the whole, the study concluded that the 'new thinking' caused significant reversals in Soviet intervention in the two regional conflicts. It was noted, however, that while Moscow used similar policies to promote peace in the two areas, these differed in terms of detail and timing. It is the contention of this study that, in the future, the Soviet Union is unlikely to intervene in regional conflicts to defend Marxist-Leninist client regimes and movements, and to project its power. Its involvement in the Third World will rather take the form of expanding ties with more advanced developing economies, from which it can derive benefits.

description: We introduce DELFT, a factoid question answering system which combines the nuance and depth of knowledge graph question answering approaches with the broader coverage of free-text. DELFT builds a free-text knowledge graph from Wikipedia, with entities as nodes and sentences in which entities co-occur as edges. For each question, DELFT finds the subgraph linking question entity nodes to candidates using text sentences as edges, creating a dense and high coverage semantic graph. A novel graph neural network reasons over the free-text graph-combining evidence on the nodes via information along edge sentences-to select a final answer. Experiments on three question answering datasets show DELFT can answer entity-rich questions better than machine reading based models, bert-based answer ranking and memory networks. DELFT's advantage comes from both the high coverage of its free-text knowledge graph-more than double that of dbpedia relations-and the novel graph neural network which reasons on the rich but noisy free-text evidence.

description: We have run high-resolution, three-dimensional, hydrodynamic simulations of the impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 into the atmosphere of Jupiter. We find that the energy deposition profile is largely similar to the previous two-dimensional calculations of Mac Low and Zahnle (1994), though perhaps somewhat broader in the range of height over which the energy is deposited. As with similar calculations for impacts into the Venusian atmosphere, there is considerable sensitivity in the results to small changes in the initial conditions, indicating dynamical chaos. We calculated the median depth of energy deposition (the height z at which 50% of the bolide's energy has been released) per run. The mean value among runs is approx 70 km below the 1-bar level, for a 1-km diameter impactor of porous ice of density rho=0.6 g cm^{-3}. The standard deviation among these runs is 14 km. We find little evidence of a trend in these results with the resolution of the calculations (up to 57 cells across the impactor radius, or 8.8-m resolution), suggesting that resolutions as low as 16 grid cells across the radius of the bolide may yield good results for this particular quantity.

description: Sugar beet is an important crop of temperate climates and Serbia. The paleobotanic data suggest the sea beet was grown from ancient times, while the beets with swollen roots were cultivated in the Middle Ages in Europe. Phylogeography of the European populations of Heterodera schachtii, a nematode parasite on sugar beet, using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian analyses was studied. Results based on matching the historical data with phylogenetic analyses based on the ITS rRNA region indicate the area across the Dutch-Belgian coastal region as a possible place of origin of the European H. schachtii populations. In addition, the dendrograms reveal a clear distinction between the two sister species (H. schachtii and H. betae) that coexist on the same host.

description: The eccentricity of a planet's orbit and the inclination of its orbital plane encode important information about its formation and history. However, exoplanets detected via direct-imaging are often only observed over a very small fraction of their period, making it challenging to perform reliable physical inferences given wide, unconstrained posteriors. The aim of this project is to investigate biases (deviation of the median and mode of the posterior from the true values of orbital parameters, and the width and coverage of their credible intervals) in the estimation of orbital parameters of directly-imaged exoplanets, particularly their eccentricities, and to define general guidelines to perform better estimations of uncertainty. For this, we constructed various orbits and generated mock data for each spanning $\sim 0.5 \%$ of the orbital period. We used the Orbits For The Impatient (OFTI) algorithm to compute orbit posteriors, and compared those to the true values of the orbital parameters. We found that the inclination of the orbital plane is the parameter that most affects our estimations of eccentricity, with orbits that appear near edge-on producing eccentricity distributions skewed away from the true values, and often bi-modal. We also identified a degeneracy between eccentricity and inclination that makes it difficult to distinguish posteriors of face-on, eccentric orbits and edge-on, circular orbits. For the exoplanet-imaging community, we propose practical recommendations, guidelines and warnings relevant to orbit-fitting.

description: We evaluate the energy momentum tensor of a massive quark as it moves through an N=4 SYM quark gluon plasma at constant velocity. We find that in the near-quark region, where the dynamics is expected to be dominated by dissipative behavior, the energy density may be quantitatively characterized by a transient at velocities above the speed of sound of the plasma.

description: The cosmological constant and many other possible origins for acceleration of the cosmic expansion possess variations in the dark energy properties slow on the Hubble time scale. Given that models with more rapid variation, or even phase transitions, are possible though, we examine the fineness in redshift with which cosmological probes can realistically be employed, and what constraints this could impose on dark energy behavior. In particular, we discuss various aspects of baryon acoustic oscillations, and their use to measure the Hubble parameter H(z). We find that currently considered cosmological probes have an innate resolution no finer than Delta z=0.2-0.3.

description: Four strains of Steinernema feltiae were isolated from agricultural fields in Anantnag district, the hilly areas of Pir Panjal region of Jammu and Kashmir Union territory of India. Phylogenetic analysis of the Internal Transcribed Spacer rDNA sequences revealed that three isolates belong to the well defined ‘Himalayan clade’ of S. feltiae, whereas one isolate belongs to the cosmopolitan group of haplotypes of this species. Morphometric data for one of these Himalayan isolates are provided and the phylogeography of S. feltiae is discussed. Finally, analysis of the GenBank records has shown that S. feltiae is ubiquitous in most geographical regions of the globe.
Production of Hypervelocity Stars through Encounters with Stellar-Mass Black Holes in the Galactic Centre

description: Stars within 0.1 pc of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* at the Galactic centre are expected to encounter a cluster of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) that have segregated to that region. Some of these stars will scatter off an orbiting BH and be kicked out of the Galactic centre with velocities up to ~2000 km/s. We calculate the resulting ejection rate of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) by this process under a variety of assumptions, and find it to be comparable to the tidal disruption rate of binary stars by Sgr A*, first discussed by Hills (1988). Under some conditions, this novel process is sufficient to account for all of the hypervelocity B-stars observed in the halo, and may dominate the production rate of all HVSs with lifetimes much less than the relaxation time-scale at a distance ~2 pc from Sgr A* (>~ 2 Gyr). Since HVSs are produced by at least two unavoidable processes, the statistics of HVSs could reveal bimodal velocity and mass distributions, and can constrain the distribution of BHs and stars in the innermost 0.1 pc around Sgr A*.

description: The stationary thermal state and propagation of a normal zone in a long superconducting film on a wide substrate are analyzed analytically. Expressions describing voltage-current characteristics and temperature-current dependence of the film are derived for the flux creep, flux flow and normal regions. It is shown how the flux creep influences the conditions of the thermal stability. In particular, it is found that the bistability of the thermal state can appear in this regime. Under the boiling crisis, the temperature-current dependence for a film differs markedly from that for a wire and is characterized by a smooth temperature increase with the current. A "mixed" regime is analyzed where the flux flow and normal states exist simultaneously with the boundary between them parallel to the film axis. Expressions for the propagation velocity of a normal zone along a narrow film are obtained which show that this velocity in films is sufficiently higher than in wires.

description: The nervous system coordinates whole body behaviour and transmits signals between its different parts, while the intestine is the main digestive system for most multicellular organisms. However, due to evolution routes, nematodes acquired unusual ‘neuronal’ functions for intestinal enterocytes. Along with food processing, nutrient extracting, and transferring them to other tissues, endodermal nematode cells can regulate the activity of different body systems, respond to changes in the internal and external environment, and even control the complex programmed entire organism death mechanism. The defaecation motor programme of nematodes is a rhythmical behaviour that is perfectly timed, and intestinal cells transmit timing information among themselves and target tissues that execute rhythmic outputs. In this work, we analyse open data of Caenorhabditis elegans single-cell RNA-seq to check genes commonly involved in neuronal signal transmission activity. Our results show that the nematode intestine possesses some parts of neuronal presynaptic machinery, and we propose extra evidence of nematode intestine to neuron similarity.

description: We present results from high signal-to-noise optical spectropolarimetric observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxies NGC783 and Mrk509 in the 3500-7000 A range. We find complex structure in the polarized emission for both objects. In particular, Position Angle (PA) changes across the Balmer lines show a distinctive 'M'-shaped profile that had not been observed in this detail before, but could represent a common trait in Seyfert 1 galaxies. In fact, while this shape is observed in all Balmer lines in NGC3783, Mrk509 transitions into a 'M'-shaped PA profile for higher transitions lines. We have modeled the observed profiles using the STOKES radiative transfer code and assuming that the scattering region is co-spatial with the BLR and outflowing. The results give compelling new evidence for the presence of nuclear winds in these two Seyfert 1 galaxies.

Redshifted 21 Centimeter Emission from Minihalos Before Reionization

description: Before reionization, the intergalactic medium (IGM) may have been sufficiently cold for low-mass "minihalos" to condense out of the gas and subsequently affect reionization. Previous work has shown that minihalos generate reasonably large 21 cm fluctuations. Here we consider this signal in its proper cosmological context and show that isolating minihalos from the rest of the IGM is extremely difficult. Using the well-known halo model, we compute the power spectrum of 21 cm fluctuations from minihalos and show that the signal decreases rapidly as feedback increases the Jeans mass. We then show that even a small Lyman-alpha background increases the 21 cm fluctuations of the diffuse IGM well beyond those of the minihalos; because the mass fraction in the IGM is much larger, minihalos will lie buried within the IGM signal. The distinctive signatures of non-linear bias and minihalo structure emerge only at much smaller scales, well beyond the resolution of any upcoming instruments. Using simple, but representative, reionization histories, we then show that the required Lyman-alpha background level is most likely achieved at z>15, while minihalos are still rare, so that they are almost always degenerate with the diffuse IGM.

description: Automotive user interfaces constantly change due to increasing automation, novel features, additional applications, and user demands. While in-vehicle interaction can utilize numerous promising modalities, no existing overview includes an extensive set of human sensors and actuators and interaction locations throughout the vehicle interior. We conducted a systematic literature review of 327 publications leading to a design space for in-vehicle interaction that outlines existing and lack of work regarding input and output modalities, locations, and multimodal interaction. To investigate user acceptance of possible modalities and locations inferred from existing work and gaps unveiled in our design space, we conducted an online study (N=48). The study revealed users' general acceptance of novel modalities (e.g., brain or thermal activity) and interaction with locations other than the front (e.g., seat or table). Our work helps practitioners evaluate key design decisions, exploit trends, and explore new areas in the domain of in-vehicle interaction.

description: The combination of self-assembly and electronic properties as well as its true nanoscale dimensions make DNA a promising candidate for a building block of single molecule electronics. We argue that the intrinsic double helix conformation of the DNA strands provides a possibility to drive the electric current through the DNA by the perpendicular electric (gating) field. The transistor effect in the poly(G)-poly(C) synthetic DNA is demonstrated within a simple model approach. We put forward experimental setups to observe the predicted effect and discuss possible device applications of DNA. In particular, we propose a design of the single molecule analog of the Esaki diode.

description: The precise astrometric measurements of the Gaia Data Release 2 have opened the door to detailed tests of the predictions of white dwarf cooling models. Significant discrepancies between theory and observations have been identified, the most striking affecting ultramassive white dwarfs. Cheng et al. (2019) found that a small fraction of white dwarfs on the so-called Q branch must experience an extra cooling delay of $\sim 8\,$Gyr not predicted by current models. $^{22}$Ne phase separation in a crystallizing C/O white dwarf can lead to a distillation process that efficiently transports $^{22}$Ne toward its center, thereby releasing a considerable amount of gravitational energy. Using state-of-the-art Monte Carlo simulations, we show that this mechanism can largely resolve the ultramassive cooling anomaly if the delayed population consists of white dwarfs with moderately above-average $^{22}$Ne abundances. We also argue that $^{22}$Ne phase separation can account for the smaller cooling delay currently missing for models of white dwarfs with more standard compositions.

Making Sense of Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians

description: The Hamiltonian H specifies the energy levels and time evolution of a quantum theory. A standard axiom of quantum mechanics requires that H be Hermitian because Hermiticity guarantees that the energy spectrum is real and that time evolution is unitary (probability-preserving). This paper describes an alternative formulation of quantum mechanics in which the mathematical axiom of Hermiticity (transpose + complex conjugate) is replaced by the physically transparent condition of space-time reflection (PT) symmetry. If H has an unbroken PT symmetry, then the spectrum is real. Examples of PT-symmetric non-Hermitian quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians are H=p^2+ix^3 and H=p^2-x^4. Amazingly, the energy levels of these Hamiltonians are all real and positive! In general, if H has an unbroken PT symmetry, then it has another symmetry represented by a linear operator C. Using C, one can construct a time-independent inner product with a positive-definite norm. Thus, PT-symmetric Hamiltonians describe a new class of complex quantum theories having positive probabilities and unitary time evolution. The Lee Model is an example of a PT-symmetric Hamiltonian. The renormalized Lee-model Hamiltonian has a negative-norm "ghost" state because renormalization causes the Hamiltonian to become non-Hermitian. For the past 50 years there have been many attempts to find a physical interpretation for the ghost, but all such attempts failed. Our interpretation of the ghost is simply that the non-Hermitian Lee Model Hamiltonian is PT-symmetric. The C operator for the Lee Model is calculated exactly and in closed form and the ghost is shown to be a physical state having a positive norm. The ideas of PT symmetry are illustrated by using many quantum-mechanical and quantum-field-theoretic models.

description: The existence of errors or inconsistencies in the configuration of security components, such as filtering routers and/or firewalls, may lead to weak access control policies -- potentially easy to be evaded by unauthorized parties. We present in this paper a proposal to create, manage, and deploy consistent policies in those components in an efficient way. To do so, we combine two main approaches. The first approach is the use of an aggregation mechanism that yields consistent configurations or signals inconsistencies. Through this mechanism we can fold existing policies of a given system and create a consistent and global set of access control rules -- easy to maintain and manage by using a single syntax. The second approach is the use of a refinement mechanism that guarantees the proper deployment of such a global set of rules into the system, yet free of inconsistencies.

A Robust Estimator of the Small-Scale Galaxy Correlation Function

description: We present a new estimator, omega, of the small scale galaxy correlation function that is robust against the effects of redshift space distortions and large scale structures. The estimator is a weighted integral of the redshift space or angular correlation function and is a convolution of the real space correlation function with a localized filter. This allows a direct comparison with theory, without modeling redshift space distortions and the large scale correlation function. This has a number of advantages over the more traditional w_p estimator, including (i) an insensitivity to large scale structures and the details of the truncation of the line of sight integral, (ii) a compact kernel in xi(r), and (iii) being unbinned. We discuss how this estimator would be used in practice, applying it to a sample of mock galaxies selected from the Millennium simulation.

description: Autonomous vehicle's technology is expected to be disruptive for automotive industry in next years. This paper proposes a novel real-time trajectory planner based on a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) algorithm. A nonlinear single track vehicle model with Pacejka's lateral tyre formulas has been implemented. The numerical solution of the NMPC problem is obtained by means of the implementation of a novel genetic algorithm strategy. Numerical results are discussed through simulations that shown a reasonable behavior of the proposed strategy in presence of static or moving obstacles as well as in a wide rage of road friction conditions. Moreover a real-time implementation is made possible by the reported computational time analysis.

description: The modern era has witnessed significant advancements in information technology, which have to be incorporated into our everyday lives. These technological developments are revolutionizing our daily routines, enabling everyone, including those with physical disabilities, to benefit from them. For instance, Braille-based devices have made it possible for people who are blind or visually impaired to acquire literacy skills by learning the Braille system. This paper proposes a refreshable braille display that is innovative and easy to use. It is a single-cell device that can be of immense help to blind and visually impaired users.

description: Organ failure (OF) largely governs the outcomes and mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP), but there is a lack of optimal prognostic biomarker for OF. This study is designed to investigate whether the serum apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I) level can predict OF in patients with AP. A total of 424 patients with AP were reviewed in the study, and we finally got 228 patients eligible for analysis. Patients were divided into two groups based on serum Apo A-I level. Demographic information and clinical materials were retrospectively collected. The primary outcome was the occurrence of OF. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression were conducted to analyze the relationship between Apo A-I and OF. Additionally, we used receiver operating characteristic analysis to clarify the predictive value of serum Apo A-I level for OF and mortality. Ninety-two patients and 136 patients were included in Apo A-I low and non-low groups, respectively. The occurrence of OF was significantly different in the two groups (35.9 vs. 9.6%, p < 0.001). Moreover, serum Apo A-I level markedly decreased across disease severity based on the 2012 Revised Atlanta Classification of AP. The decrease of serum apolipoprotein A-I was an independent risk factor for organ failure (OR: 6.216, 95% CI: 2.610, 14.806, p < 0.001). The area under the curve of serum Apo A-I was 0.828 and 0.889 for OF and mortality of AP, respectively. Serum Apo A-I level in the early stage of the disease has a high predictive value for OF of AP.
Dynamic wetting effects in finite mobility ratio Hele-Shaw flow

description: In this paper we study the effects of dynamic wetting on the immiscible displacement of a high viscosity fluid subject to the radial injection of a less viscous fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell. The displaced fluid can leave behind a trailing film that coats the cell walls, dynamically affecting the pressure drop at the fluid interface. By considering the non-linear pressure drop in a boundary element formulation, we construct a Picard scheme to iteratively predict the interfacial velocity and subsequent displacement in finite mobility ratio flow regimes. Dynamic wetting delays the onset of finger bifurcation in the late stages of interfacial growth, and at high local capillary numbers can alter the fundamental mode of bifurcation, producing vastly different finger morphologies. In low mobility ratio regimes, we see that finger interaction is reduced and characteristic finger breaking mechanisms are delayed but never fully inhibited. In high mobility ratio regimes, finger shielding is reduced when dynamic wetting is present. Finger bifurcation is delayed which allows the primary fingers to advance further into the domain before secondary fingers are generated, reducing the level of competition.

description: We justify and give error estimates for binomial approximations of game (Israeli) options in the Black--Scholes market with Lipschitz continuous path dependent payoffs which are new also for usual American style options. We show also that rational (optimal) exercise times and hedging self-financing portfolios of binomial approximations yield for game options in the Black--Scholes market ``nearly'' rational exercise times and ``nearly'' hedging self-financing portfolios with small average shortfalls and initial capitals close to fair prices of the options. The estimates rely on strong invariance principle type approximations via the Skorokhod embedding.
