description: Climate change affects Indian agriculture, which depends heavily on the spatiotemporal distribution of monsoon rainfall. Despite the nonlinear relationship between crop yield and rainfall, little is known about the optimal rainfall threshold, particularly for monsoon rice. Here, we investigate the responses of rice yield to monsoon rainfall in India by analyzing historical rice production statistics and climate data from 1990 to 2017. Results show that excessive and deficit rainfall reduces rice yield by 33.7% and 19%, respectively. The overall optimal rainfall threshold nationwide is 1621 ± 34 mm beyond which rice yield declines by 6.4 kg per hectare per 100 mm of rainfall, while the identifiable thresholds vary spatially across 14 states. The temporal variations in rice yield are influenced by rainfall anomalies featured by El Niño-Southern Oscillation events.

BioExcel Webinar #54: Applying the Accelerated Weight Histogram method to alchemical transformations

Year: 2021

description: Alchemical transformations are regularly used to compute free energies of solvation, binding and mutation. The end states of interest are connected by a path using a coupling parameter lambda. The standard procedure is to run multiple simulations, each at a fixed value of lambda, and use Bennett’s acceptance ratio to obtain the free energy difference. In this webinar we present how the Accelerated Weight histogram method can be used for such calculations. In this approach lambda is varied dynamically in a single simulation, and the free energy difference can be obtained directly. This has been implemented in the GROMACS 2021 release and provides a simple and flexible way to compute alchemical free energies and can be trivially parallelized using multiple walkers (copies of the system).

description: We find that the damping of micromechanical cantilevers is sensitive to the relaxation dynamics of paramagnetic ions contained within the levers. We measure cantilevers containing paramagnetic Mn ions as a function of temperature, magnetic field, and the vibrational mode of the lever and find that the levers damping is strongly enhanced by the interplay between the motion of the lever, the ions magnetic anisotropy, and the ratio of the ions longitudinal relaxation rate to the resonance frequency of the cantilever. This enhancement can improve the levers ability to probe the relaxation behavior of paramagnetic or superparamagetic systems; it may also represent a previously unrecognized source of intrinsic dissipation in micromechanical structures.

description: Renal interstitial fibrosis is an important mechanism in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to end-stage kidney disease. However, we lack specific treatments to slow or halt renal fibrosis. Ribosome profiling identified upregulation of a secreted micropeptide, C4orf48 (Cf48), in mouse diabetic nephropathy. Cf48 RNA and protein levels were upregulated in tubular epithelial cells in human and experimental CKD. Serum Cf48 levels were increased in human CKD and correlated with loss of kidney function, increasing CKD stage, and the degree of active interstitial fibrosis. Cf48 overexpression in mice accelerated renal fibrosis, while Cf48 gene deletion or knockdown by antisense oligonucleotides significantly reduced renal fibrosis in CKD models. In vitro, recombinant Cf48 (rCf48) enhanced TGF-β1-induced fibrotic responses in renal fibroblasts and epithelial cells independently of Smad3 phosphorylation. Cellular uptake of Cf48 and its profibrotic response in fibroblasts operated via the transferrin receptor. RNA immunoprecipitation-sequencing identified Cf48 binding to mRNA of genes involved in the fibrotic response, including Serpine1, Acta2, Ccn2, and Col4a1. rCf48 binds to the 3'UTR of Serpine1 and increases mRNA half-life. We identify the secreted Cf48 micropeptide as a potential enhancer of renal fibrosis that operates as an RNA-binding peptide to promote the production of extracellular matrix.

description: In the present paper, negative-parity bands based on the νh11/2 configuration in Xe125 have been revisited. This nucleus was populated through the reaction Se82(Ca48,5n)Xe125 at a beam energy of 205 MeV and the corresponding γ rays were observed using the Gammasphere spectrometer. Evidence for first and second phonon wobbling excitations has been established by measurements of directional correlation ratios and angular distributions of the involved γ rays. The observed wobbling energy of the bands involved were compared with the recently published results obtained within the framework of triaxial projected shell-model calculations.

description: The study investigated the determinants of income patterns of tomato farmers by means of three income models based on the livelihood approach of linking income and income generating activities. Data for the study was collected from 562 randomly selected tomato farmers from six districts in three regions of Ghana. By employing OLS estimation, the study sought to identify the determinants underlying the respondents’ income pattern. The results of the study indicate that gender, wealth, number of years of education experience, number of years of experience in tomato production and farm size were the major socio-economic variables that significantly influenced one’s level of income. All the three income models indicate negative but significant relationship between income and the contributions made by secondary earners implying that social and family ties serve as a disincentive to increasing income levels as people take undue advantage of it. Moreover, all three income models study indicate negative but significant relationship between income and household size, an indication that increasing household size has negative consequences on income. The policy implication of this is that as part of agricultural extension activities, education on population issues and its implications for development be passed on to farmers.

description: We investigate the possibility of obtaining non-singular black-hole solutions in the brane world model by solving the effective field equations for the induced metric on the brane. The Reissner-Nordstrom solution on the brane was obtained by Dadhich etal by imposing the null energy condition on the 3-brane for a bulk having non zero Weyl curvature. In this work, we relax the condition of vanishing scalar curvature $R$, however, retaining the null condition. We have shown that it is possible to obtain class of static non-singular spherically symmetric brane space-times admitting horizon. We obtain one such class of solution which is a regular version of the Reissner-Nordstrom solution in the standard general relativity.

We assume a delta-correlated Gaussian noise in all initially empty modes of atomic field. Its strength is determined by comparison with the analytical results for two colliding condensates in the low loss limit. Our method is applied to the atomic four wave mixing experiment performed at MIT [Vogels {\it et. al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 89}, 020401, (2002)], for the first time reproducing experimental data.

description: Οι «δεινές θέσεις» αναφέρονται κυρίως στο στιχηραρικό μέλος, και δεν είναι παρά οι εκτενέστερες, εμμελέστερες αλλά και δυσκολότερες θέσεις ανάμεσα στις «νεοφανείς» θέσεις, όπως προέκυψαν από τους καλλωπισμούς του Παναγιώτη Νέου Χρυσάφη και του Γερμανού Νέων Πατρών στα Στιχηράριά τους, το β΄ μισό του ΙΖ΄ αιώνα. Η κυριότερη μορφή συναθροίσεως των «δεινών θέσεων» αφορά αποκλειστικά το Στιχηράριο του Γερμανού Νέων Πατρών, και συναντάται σε αγιορείτικους μουσικούς κώδικες. Εξηγήσεις των «δεινών θέσεων» έχουν παραδώσει οι διδάσκαλοι Χουρμούζιος Χαρτοφύλακας και Γρηγόριος Πρωτοψάλτης καθώς και αγιορείτες εξηγητές. Οι εξηγήσεις αυτές βρίσκονται σε κώδικες που φυλάσσονται σε βιβλιοθήκες και εκτός του Αγίου Όρους. Οι «δεινές θέσεις» είναι μια αδιαμφισβήτητη απόδειξη για την εξήγηση της βυζαντινής και μεταβυζαντινής σημειογραφίας. Η περίπτωση της συναθροίσεως των «δεινών θέσεων» του Στιχηραρίου του Γερμανού Νέων Πατρών, και κατόπιν η εξήγηση τους από τους μεταγενέστερους μελοποιούς, επιβεβαιώνει το γεγονός ότι οι «Θέσεις» αποτελούν το σημαντικότερο μελικό κεφάλαιο της Ψαλτικής Τέχνης
description: The «tough positions» are mainly mentioned in the Stichiraric chant, and are nothing but the most extensive, most elaborate but also more difficult positions between «novel» positions, as they emerged from embellishments of Panagiotis new Chrysafis and German New Patras in their Stichiraria, in second half of the sixteenth century. The main form of aggregation of «tough positions» concerns exclusively the Stichirario of the German of New Patras, and is found in Mount Athos music codes. Explanations of «dire position» have been delivered by teachers Chourmouzios Briefcase and Grigorios Protopsaltis as well as Mount Athos exlainers. These explanations can be found in codes kept in libraries and outside Mount Athos. The «tough positions» are an indisputable proof for the explanation of the Byzantine and Post-Byzantine notation. The case of the aggregation of «tough positions» of Stichirarios of the German of New Patras, and then their explanation by the later composers confirms the fact that «Positions» are the most important part of the Chanting Art

description: The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the connectivity matrix of complex networks contain information about its topology and its collective behavior. In particular, the spectral density $ρ(λ)$ of this matrix reveals important network characteristics: random networks follow Wigner's semicircular law whereas scale-free networks exhibit a triangular distribution. In this paper we show that the spectral density of hierarchical networks follow a very different pattern, which can be used as a fingerprint of modularity. Of particular importance is the value $ρ(0)$, related to the homeostatic response of the network: it is maximum for random and scale free networks but very small for hierarchical modular networks. It is also large for an actual biological protein-protein interaction network, demonstrating that the current leading model for such networks is not adequate.

description: A hermitian one-matrix model with an even quartic potential exhibits a third-order phase transition when the cuts of the matrix model curve coalesce. We use the known solutions of this matrix model to compute effective superpotentials of an N=1, SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory coupled to an adjoint superfield, following the techniques developed by Dijkgraaf and Vafa. These solutions automatically satisfy the quantum tracelessness condition and describe a breaking to SU(N/2) x SU(N/2) x U(1). We show that the value of the effective superpotential is smooth at the transition point, and that the two-cut (broken) phase is more favored than the one-cut (unbroken) phase below the critical scale. The U(1) coupling constant diverges due to the massless monopole, thereby demonstrating Ferrari's general formula. We also briefly discuss the implication of the Painleve II equation arising in the double scaling limit.

These attributes include remarkable capabilities and good compatibility with the majority of polymers. In this investigation, Graphene/MWCNT was used to strengthen the Jute mat fibre/epoxy composites in order to improve the hardness of these materials, its hardness values were studied. This research was undertaken with the intention of presenting a way for improving the hardness characteristics of composites for use in practical applications. The findings presented here may point the way to an important new direction of making fibre-reinforced thermoset composites that are reinforced with nanofillers and have a superior hardness value.

description: A well known argument in cosmology gives that the power spectrum (or structure function) $P(k)$ of mass density fluctuations produced from a uniform initial state by physics which is causal (i.e. moves matter and momentum only up to a finite scale) has the behaviour $P(k) \propto k^4$ at small $k$. Noting the assumption of analyticity at $k=0$ of $P(k)$ in the standard derivation of this result, we introduce a class of solvable one dimensional models which allows us to study the relation between the behaviour of $P(k)$ at small $k$ and the properties of the probability distribution $f(l)$ for the spatial extent $l$ of mass and momentum conserving fluctuations. We find that the $k^4$ behaviour is obtained in the case that the first {\it six} moments of $f(l)$ are finite. Interestingly the condition that the fluctuations be localised - taken to correspond to the convergence of the first two moments of $f(l)$ - imposes only the weaker constraint $P(k) \propto k^n$ with $n$ anywhere in the range $0< n \leq 4$. We interpret this result to suggest that the causality bound will be loosened in this way if quantum fluctuations are permitted.

description: Activities of the oil and gas (O&G) industry directly influence the natural potentials of the ecosystem and human livelihood. In particular, the impacts of crude oil extraction grossly interfere with the daily economic life of man and the natural environment. This study evaluates people’s perception of the implications of crude oil extraction on agriculture and people’s livelihood in oil producing rural communities in Nigeria with particular focus on the Niger Delta region, an area where most onshore and offshore crude oil extractions are carried out. The bias in this study came from the fact that crude oil is mainly either extracted or transported across rural communities in the region through water routes and/or arable lands, the population here almost solely depends on natural resources – water and land – for their daily livelihood. Findings suggest that livelihood sources in the region are under evident direct threat of pollution and other impacts of the O&G industry. Results obtained from the descriptive analysis of 446 respondents indicate a perception of high impact of crude oil extraction on food prices (74.7%), food safety (60.5%), crop yield (48.2%) and animal production (28.3%). The results of the Ordered Probit regression analysis suggest that farmers and fishermen are more vulnerable or mostly affected by impacts of crude oil extraction in the region. The study thus opined that adequate mitigation of negative impacts of crude oil extraction would promote improved food safety, affordable food supply and improved household income in oil producing rural communities. Therefore, the O&G industry should intensify its commitments towards mitigating undesirable implications of exploration and extraction activities by O&G companies in the oil producing areas. In a bit to mitigate prevailing livelihood problems in the Niger Delta region, there is a need for O&G companies and government to provide necessary compensations, trainings and other support to help the rural people sustain their livelihood. In addition, all stakeholders in the O&G industry should collaborate with academic and research institutions to promote research in agriculture towards achieving improved food production and food safety in areas affected by impacts of crude oil extraction.

description: Excerpts from the report: The trend of the poultry industry is toward greater use of motortrucks for the transportation of baby chicks. In 1957, approximately 2.1 billion chicks were hatched commercially and most of them were delivered to poultrymen by truck. Hatcherymen formerly shipped the majority of their production via parcel post or railway express. However, in recent years the curtailment of local rail service and the increased demand from poultrymen for fast deliveries of large shipments have brought about this change to motortruck transportation. The conditions under which chicks are transported and the types of equipment employed vary widely throughout the country. This report shows how hatcherymen have successfully met some of the problems encountered under difficult conditions so that others may benefit from their experience and ingenuity.

description: The paper focuses on factors affecting the economics of milk production based on modelling future effects of present managerial decisions. We evaluate a sample Slovak dairy farms from the economic and performance indicator datasets of the National Agricultural and Food Centre – Research institute for animal production Nitra (NPPC-RIAP), referring to semi-intensive dairy farm and typical Holstein dairy farm. The EkonMOD milk decision support tool for dairy farm managers will be used to run various scenarios in heifer replacement strategies. If the average age at first calving (AFC) is reduced from 30 down to 24 months, the dairy could expect additional heifers for potential sale, growth, or culling pressure on the lactating herd. This approach means that in the first two years’ heifer development is emphasized, expenses in feed and management are decreased by 47,520 € per year, and 53,750 € worth of heifers are sold, bringing the total potential income for those two years to 101,270 €. The reduction of AFC in semi-intensive dairy farm in the what-if scenario 1 reduced the number of heifers needed for replacement from 290 to 269 heifers, also having the positive impact on the profitability resulting from these interrelations. In the what-if scenario 2 the AFC remained the same as in what-if scenario 1, meaning that the number of replacements needed was without any change. In the last–different sample farm case scenario presented in this paper, we considered the Holstein dairy farm with 500 productive dairy cows. The reduction in the AFC from 26 to 24 months reduced the number of feeding days in the heifer category by 12 410 feeding days, resulting to the reduction in total costs of at least 22 000 €, in this case.

description: Background Prenatal or early childhood secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure increases obesity risk. However, the potential mechanisms underlying this association are unclear, but obesogenic eating behaviors are one pathway that components of SHS could perturb. Our aim was to assess associations of prenatal and early childhood SHS exposure with adolescent eating behaviors. Methods Data came from a prospective pregnancy and birth cohort (N = 207, Cincinnati, OH). With multiple informant models, we estimated associations of prenatal (mean of 16 and 26 weeks of gestation maternal serum cotinine concentrations) and early childhood cotinine (average concentration across ages 12, 24, 36, and 48 months) with eating behaviors at age 12 years (Child Eating Behaviors Questionnaire). We tested whether associations differed by exposure periods and adolescent’s sex. Models adjusted for maternal and child covariates. Results We found no statistically significant associations between cotinine measures and adolescent’s eating behaviors. Yet, in females, prenatal cotinine was associated with greater food responsiveness (β: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.08, 0.38) and lower satiety responsiveness (β: -0.14; 95% CI: -0.26, -0.02); in males, prenatal and postnatal cotinine was related to lower food responsiveness (prenatal: β: -0.25; 95% CI: -0.04, -0.06; postnatal: β: -0.36; 95% CI: -0.06, -0.11). No significant effect modification by sex or exposure window was found for other eating behaviors. Conclusion Prenatal and early childhood SHS exposures were not related to adolescent’s eating behavior in this cohort; however, biological sex may modify these associations.

description: By cross-correlating templates constructed from the 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Extended Source (XSC) catalogue with WMAP's first year data, we search for the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich signature induced by hot gas in the local Universe. Assuming that galaxies trace the distribution of hot gas, we select regions on the sky with the largest projected density of galaxies. Under conservative assumptions on the amplitude of foreground residuals, we find a temperature decrement of -35 $\pm$ 7 $μ$K ($\sim 5σ$ detection level, the highest reported so far) in the $\sim$ 26 square degrees of the sky containing the largest number of galaxies per solid angle. We show that most of the reported signal is caused by known galaxy clusters which, when convolved with the average beam of the WMAP W band channel, subtend a typical angular size of 20--30 arcmins. Finally, after removing from our analyses all pixels associated with known optical and X-ray galaxy clusters, we still find a tSZ decrement of -96 $\pm$ 37 $μ$K in pixels subtending about $\sim$ 0.8 square degrees on the sky. Most of this signal is coming from five different cluster candidates in the Zone of Avoidance (ZoA), present in the Clusters In the ZoA (CIZA) catalogue. We found no evidence that structures less bound than clusters contribute to the tSZ signal present in the WMAP data.

description: Profiles of static solitons in one-dimensional scalar field theory satisfy the same equations as trajectories of a fictitious particle in multidimensional mechanics. We argue that the structure and properties of the solitons are essentially different if the respective mechanical motions are chaotic. This happens in multifield models and models with spatially dependent potential. We illustrate our findings using one-field sine-Gordon model in external Dirac comb potential. First, we show that the number of different "chaotic" solitons grows exponentially with their length, and the growth rate is related to the topological entropy of the mechanical system. Second, the field values of stable solitons form a fractal; we compute its box-counting dimension. Third, we demonstrate that the distribution of field values in the fractal is related to the metric entropy of the analogous mechanical system.

description: The United Kingdom as a member of the EU can enjoy full access to the Single European Market. In terms of agri-food trade, EU is UK's most important partner. However, in June 2016, the UK opted to leave EU. This decision will significantly influence the whole economy of the UK including agri-food trade. The objective of this paper is to examine development and comparative advantages of The UK's agri-food trade with respect to the EU-27 markets. The analysis is based on Balassa index and its stability over the period. The agri-food trade data were acquired from Eurostat Comext database and cover the period 2000-2016. The analysis showed that over the period, the UK was able to retain comparative advantages only in three categories – HS 03 Fish, HS 21 Miscellaneous edible preparations, HS 22 Beverages, spirits and vinegar. In the rest of agri-food commodities the declining trend can be observed and in 2016 the UK had comparative disadvantages in 21 agri-food commodities. Based on the results of regression focused on the stability of distribution of Balassa indices over time, we can conclude that the degree of specialization in the agri-food trade between the United Kingdom and the rest of the EU has been decreasing as the number of commodity groups with a comparative advantage has been declining. With respect to Brexit, the agrarian trade of the UK deserves special attention, because the potential increases in trade costs are expected to affect the UK proportionally more than the EU-27.

Coordinating Development: How Do Animals Integrate Plastic and Robust Developmental Processes?

description: Our developmental environment significantly affects myriad aspects of our biology, including key life history traits, morphology, physiology, and our susceptibility to disease. This environmentally-induced variation in phenotype is known as plasticity. In many cases, plasticity results from alterations in the rate of synthesis of important developmental hormones. However, while developmental processes like organ growth are sensitive to environmental conditions, others like patterning – the process that generates distinct cell identities – remain robust to perturbation. This is particularly surprising given that the same hormones that regulate organ growth also regulate organ patterning. In this review, we revisit the current approaches that address how organs coordinate their growth and pattern, and outline our hypotheses for understanding how organs achieve correct pattern across a range of sizes.

description: In this short note, we verify explicitly in static coordinates that the non trivial asymptotic Killing vectors at spatial infinity for anti-de Sitter space-times correspond one to one to the conformal Killing vectors of the conformally flat metric induced on the boundary. The fall-off conditions for the metric perturbations that guarantee finiteness of the associated conserved charges are derived.

description: This study focuses on the intake of vitamin A from staple foods that are or could be fortified using a survey conducted in three major cities in Ghana. The study distinguishes among consumption frequencies, i.e., daily, weekly, and monthly, of five staples (wheat and maize flour, groundnut oil, palm oil, and vegetable oil). A multivariate probit technique estimates three sets of five equations accounting for the consumption of five staples in three time periods (daily, weekly monthly). The correlations across equations were tested indicating the suitability of the selected estimation approach. The results suggest that per capita income, geographic location, employment status, education, and market access are important in determining consumption frequency. The results also reveal that the existing source of vitamin A from the food fortification program is insufficient for Ghanaian women to reach the WHO daily standard. Fortifying maize flour (in addition to already fortified vegetable oils and wheat flour), a staple, will largely alleviate the inadequate vitamin A intake among urban households.

description: The HeH$^+$ cation is the simplest molecular prototype of the indirect dissociative recombination (DR) process that proceeds through electron capture into Rydberg states of the corresponding neutral molecule. This Letter develops the first application of our recently developed energy-dependent frame transformation theory to the indirect DR processes. The theoretical model is based on the multichannel quantum-defect theory with the vibrational basis states computed using exterior complex scaling (ECS) of the nuclear Hamiltonian. The ab initio electronic R-matrix theory is adopted to compute quantum defects as functions of the collision energy and of the internuclear distance. The resulting DR rates are convolved over the beam energy distributions relevant to a recent experiment at the Cryogenic Storage Ring, giving good agreement between the experiment and the theory.

Reporting findings on team functioning to primary health care practices in British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia

description: Team climate is a measure of health care performance. An evaluation of team climate can provide important insights into a team’s strengths and weaknesses and can help primary health care providers identify areas for improvement that can contribute to better organizational outcomes. It is measured using a team climate inventory (TCI) in primary health care practices around the globe; however, there is no work done in Canada as to whether TCI findings have been reported back to practices as audit and feedback and whether this information is useful for improving clinical performance. The purpose of this project is to determine how findings from a TCI can be reported in a practice-based performance portrait to primary health care providers and assess whether they perceive it to be easy to use and useful in improving their team climate and clinical performance. The template for the team climate section of the portrait was developed using best practices for audit and feedback and visual analytics. Feedback on the template was obtained from key stakeholders, primarily family physicians (FPs), in the Fraser East region using a short survey on perceived ease of use and usefulness. FPs who participated in this project generally agreed that the template was easy to use and provided useful information that could help them facilitate change in their practice for the purpose of improving their clinical performance. Participants identified that the information promoted self-reflection as it helped identify areas for improvement and was relevant and actionable. However, they identified that the information would be more useful if a list of easily accessible and relevant actionable items and resources for implementing change were provided. Participants also emphasized that peer comparisons would add to the usefulness of the portrait. Although the perceived ease of use and usefulness of the team climate section of the practice-based portrait were evaluated in this project, further work is required to evaluate the actual usefulness of the reported data and the implications it has on practice and patient outcomes.

description: Single- and few-layer chromium triiodide (CrI3), which has been intensively investigated as a promising platform for two-dimensional magnetism, was usually prepared by mechanical exfoliation. Here, we report on the growth of single-layer CrI3 by molecular beam epitaxy under ultrahigh vacuum. The atomic structures and local density of states have been revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Iodine trimers, each of which consists of three I atoms surrounding a three-fold Cr honeycomb center, have been identified as the basic units of the topmost I layer. Different superstructures of single-layer CrI3 with characteristic periodicity around 2-4 nm were obtained on Au(111), but only pristine structure was observed on graphite. At elevated temperatures (423 K), CrI3 was partially decomposed, resulting in the formation of single-layer chromium diiodide. Our bias-dependent STM images suggest that the unoccupied and occupied states are distributed spatial-separately, which is consistent with our density functional theory calculations. The effect of charge distribution on the superexchange interaction in single-layer CrI3 was discussed.

description: We show that the solution published in Ref.1 is geodesically complete and singularity-free. We also prove that the solution satisfies the stronger energy and causality conditions, such as global hyperbolicity, causal symmetry and causal stability. A detailed discussion about which assumptions in the singularity theorems are not fulfilled is performed, and we show explicitly that the solution is in accordance with those theorems. A brief discussion of the results is given.
