description: Language-integrated provenance builds on language-integrated query techniques to make provenance information explaining query results readily available to programmers. In previous work we have explored language-integrated approaches to provenance in Links and Haskell. However, implementing a new form of provenance in a language-integrated way is still a major challenge. We propose a self-tracing transformation and trace analysis features that, together with existing techniques for type-directed generic programming, make it possible to define different forms of provenance as user code. We present our design as an extension to a core language for Links called LinksT, give examples showing its capabilities, and outline its metatheory and key correctness properties.

description: Background/Objectives: Men are more susceptible to sepsis than women, but the underlying pathways have not been fully clarified. Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) is an acute-phase protein that is highly elevated in sepsis. Experimental evidence shows that LBP increases to a much greater extent in male than in female mice following exposure to lipopolysaccharide. However, gender-specific studies of circulating LBP levels in sepsis patients are scarce. Methods: In the plasma of 189 patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis, and septic shock, LBP levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Patients with liver cirrhosis had reduced circulating LBP levels, regardless of gender. Further analysis within the non-cirrhotic patients showed no significant differences in LBP levels between sexes in patients with SIRS, sepsis, and septic shock. Ventilation, dialysis, and vasopressor therapy had no effect on LBP levels in either sex. A positive correlation between LBP and C-reactive protein was observed in the total cohort, males, and females. Infection with Gram-negative or Gram-positive bacteria had no effect on plasma LBP levels in males. However, female patients with Gram-negative infection had increased plasma LBP levels compared to females with negative and Gram-positive blood cultures, and 70 µg/mL LBP discriminates Gram-negative infections in females with a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 74%. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 did not change plasma LBP levels in either men or women. Female patients who did not survive had lower plasma LBP levels compared to female survivors and male non-survivors. Conclusions: This investigation highlights the influence of sex on plasma LBP levels in SIRS/sepsis patients, suggesting that LBP could be a sex-specific biomarker in critically ill patients.

 Remarks. Tamarisca tamarisca (Linnaeus, 1758) is a large and distinctive hydroid with a relatively uncomplicated taxonomic history. The most troublesome nomenclatural question in the past was its generic assignment, but for the past half-century it has been referred to Tamarisca Kudelin, 1914. Originally founded as a subgenus of Sertularella Gray, 1848, Tamarisca was raised to generic rank by Naumov (1960) and has been recognized as such in subsequent works. Sertomma Stechow, 1919b is considered a synonym (Cornelius 1979). Details on its taxonomy are given by Cornelius (1979; 1995b).
 FIGURE 41. Thuiaria articulata: part of branch with alternate and deeply immersed hydrothecae, ROMIZ B3902. Scale equals 0.5 mm.
 This species has been reported several times at locations in western Sweden (see Checklist). It was not found in the Oslofjord by Christiansen (1972), but Kramp (1935b) included records of T. tamarisca from the Skagerrak off Hanstholm and Hirtshals, Denmark, at depths of 57 and 225 m.
 The centre of distribution of Tamarisca tamarisca is the eastern North Atlantic; records of it in the western North Atlantic are few (see Fraser 1944). The only specimen recorded in the catalog of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution (USNM 29443), is from Plymouth Sound, UK. No records of it were found in online searches of collections at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, and the Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University.
 Reported distribution. West coast of Sweden.—Koster area to Gullmarfjord (Jäderholm 1909).
 Elsewhere. North Atlantic from the Barents and White seas to the Bay of Biscay (Naumov 1960; Cornelius 1995b; Altuna 2007) in the east, and from west Greenland to Massachusetts Bay in the west (Fraser 1944, as Diphasia tamarisca; Schuchert 2001).

description: Let $Γ_n(p)$ be the level-$p$ principal congruence subgroup of $\text{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$. Borel-Serre proved that the cohomology of $Γ_n(p)$ vanishes above degree $\binom{n}{2}$. We study the cohomology in this top degree $\binom{n}{2}$. Let $\mathcal{T}_n(\mathbb{Q})$ denote the Tits building of $\text{SL}_n(\mathbb{Q})$. Lee-Szczarba conjectured that $H^{\binom{n}{2}}(Γ_n(p))$ is isomorphic to $\widetilde{H}_{n-2}(\mathcal{T}_n(\mathbb{Q})/Γ_n(p))$ and proved that this holds for $p=3$. We partially prove and partially disprove this conjecture by showing that a natural map $H^{\binom{n}{2}}(Γ_n(p)) \rightarrow \widetilde{H}_{n-2}(\mathcal{T}_n(\mathbb{Q})/Γ_n(p))$ is always surjective, but is only injective for $p \leq 5$. In particular, we completely calculate $H^{\binom{n}{2}}(Γ_n(5))$ and improve known lower bounds for the ranks of $H^{\binom{n}{2}}(Γ_n(p))$ for $p \geq 5$.

Gaia BH1 and BH2 -- evolutionary models with overshooting of the black hole progenitors within the present-day binary separation

description: Three black holes (BHs) in wide binaries - Gaia BH1, BH2 and BH3 - were recently discovered. The likely progenitors of the BHs were massive stars that experienced a supergiant phase, reaching radii of ~1000 Rsun, before collapsing to form the BH. Such radii are difficult to accommodate with the present-day orbits of BH1 and BH2 - with semi-major axes of 1.4 and 3.7 au, respectively. In this letter, we show that the maximal radii of the supergiants are not necessarily so large, and realistic stellar evolution models, with some assumed overshooting above the convective core into the radiative stellar envelope, produce substantially smaller maximal radii. The limited expansion of supergiants is consistent with the empirical Humphreys-Davidson limit - the absence of red supergiants above an upper luminosity limit, notably lower than the highest luminosity of main-sequence stars. We propose that the evolution that led to the formation of Gaia BH1 and BH2 simply did not involve an expansion to the cool supergiant phase.

description: Amid our growing concerns for the continued decline of design and technology education within the school curriculum, last year we instigated a programme of research which sought specifically to illuminate stakeholder perspectives from the community about the potential future of design and technology. Building upon aspects of our previous work, which was noted within an earlier blog post on this site, acting as a catalyst, this new line of enquiry was swiftly followed by the instigation of a ‘state of the nation’ national survey by the Design and Technology Association (DATA) and The Royal Academy of Engineers (RAE), and amid this groundswell of support, this renewed interested prompted the Head of Ofsted Amanda Speilman’s public address in support of the subject at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (Spielman, 2019). Having presented the initial findings of our research programme at a national (UK based) conference in May, we subsequently published our first phase findings to the International community in Malta at the PATT Conference in June. The paper was very well received and has sparked further debate and, pending publication of the full paper, further work is already in progress.

description: Quantitative modeling of the spectro-spatial distributions of energetic electrons and protons in galactic halos is needed in order to determine their interactions with the local plasma and radiation fields, and also to estimate their residual spectral densities in intracluster and intergalactic environments. We develop a semi-analytic approach for calculating the particle distributions in the halo based on a detailed diffusion model for particle propagation from acceleration sites and interactions in the galactic disk. Important overall normalization of our models is based on results from detailed modeling in the Galactic disk with the GALPROP code. This provides the essential input for determining particle distributions in the outer disk, which are used as source terms for calculating the distributions in the extensive halo for a range of values of key parameters affecting energy losses and propagation mode. Our modeling approach is applied to the two edge-on star-forming galaxies NGC 4631 and NGC 4666, for which recent mapping of radio emission in the inner halo provides the required overall normalization. We predict the levels and spatial profiles of radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray emission in the halos of these galaxies. Our quantitative modeling enables us to estimate the total calorimetric efficiencies of electrons and protons in star-forming galaxies, and to predict their residual spectral distributions in the outer halo and intergalactic space.

description: This paper takes a global, long-run perspective on the recent debate about secular stagnation, which has so far mainly focused on the short term. The analysis is motivated by observing the interplay between the economic and demographic transition that has occurred in the developed world over the past 150 years. To the extent that high growth rates in the past have partly been the consequence of singular changes during the economic and demographic transition, growth is likely to become more moderate once the transition is completed. At the same time, a similar transition is on its way in most developing countries, with profound consequences for the development prospects in these countries, but also for global comparative development. The evidence presented here suggests that long-run development dynamics have potentially important implications for the prospects of human and physical capital accumulation, the evolution of productivity and the question of secular stagnation.

description: Objective: The objective of the current work was to assess the frequency of non-adherence behaviors and potential association with patients’ experience with healthcare and beliefs in medicines self-reported by patients with four different chronic conditions. Methods: Patients responded anonymously to a survey comprising five non-adherence behaviors (based on physician and patient input), an assessment of patients’ experience with healthcare using the validated Instrument to Evaluate the EXperience of PAtients with Chronic diseases (IEXPAC), and a validated Spanish version of the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ). Associations of non-adherence behavior were analyzed using logistic regression models. Results: Of 1530 respondents, 53.1% reported ≥1 non-adherence behavior. Non-adherence rates were 59.8% in diabetes mellitus (DM), 56.0% in rheumatic disease, 55.6% in inflammatory bowel disease, and 42.8% in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection patients (p < .001). IEXPAC and BMQ scores were higher in adherent vs. non-adherent patients. In multivariate analysis, non-adherence behavior was strongly associated with lower overall BMQ, lower BMQ Necessity scores and higher BMQ Concerns scores (p < .001 for all), and with a lower IEXPAC self-management score (p = .007), but not with the overall IEXPAC score. Non-adherence was more frequent in DM patients compared with HIV infection patients (p < .001). Conclusions: Patients’ beliefs in medicines-a lower perception for the necessity of medication, and higher concerns in taking medication-and low patient self-management experience score were associated with non-adherence behavior. These are modifiable aspects that need to be addressed to increase medication adherence in chronic disease.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The 12C+12C fusion reaction is famous for its complication of molecular resonances, and plays an important role in both nuclear structure and astrophysics. It is extremely difficult to measure the cross sections of 12C+12C fusions at energies of astrophysical relevance due to very low reaction yields. To measure the complicated resonant structure existing in this important reaction, an efficient thick target method has been developed and applied for the first time at energies Ec.m.<5.3 MeV. A scan of the cross sections over a relatively wide range of energies can be carried out using only a single beam energy. The result of measurement at Ec.m.= 4.1 MeV is compared with other results from previous work. This method would be useful for searching potentially existing resonances of 12C+12C in the energy range 1 MeV

Demand and Price Analysis

description: African Indigenous Vegetables (AIVs) are mostly leafy vegetables traditionally grown throughout Africa. Since they are domesticized versions of wild plants growing naturally throughout the continent, they are excellently adapted to the climate of the region they are growing in. Furthermore, they are rich in minerals and micronutrients and have therefore a large potential for alleviating hunger and malnutrition in Africa. Although they have a significant role in the traditional diets of many countries, economic development and change of values challenges the use of these vegetables. Little is known about consumer attitudes towards AIVs. Therefore, we analyse determinants of AIVs demand based on a consumer survey in Zimbabwe. The survey was conducted in four districts of varying prevalence of food insecurity. We analyse the relationship between household income and AIVs consumption. Second, we examine the effects of the geographical location of the household as an indicator of the socio-economic environment it is living it. Third, we explore consumers’ attitudes. Regions of lowest economic development and highest food insecurity show highest levels and variations in AIVs consumption. AIVs consumption rises the lower the income and the higher the age of the respondent is. Only for AIVs species play a significant role in consumption in Zimbabwe; these are Spider flower, Pumpkin, Cowpea and Okra. Socio-economic factors like age, income determine the quantities of the consumption of AIVs.

description: Multilevel co-location patterns embedded in spatial datasets are difficult to discern due to the complexity of neighboring relationships among spatial features. The neighboring relationships are used to determine whether instances of different spatial features are located in close geographic proximity. When spatial features are distributed unevenly, the neighboring relationships among spatial features cannot be constructed appropriately. Correspondingly, the instances of co-location patterns cannot be generated correctly, and the prevalence of multilevel co-location patterns cannot be measured accurately. To overcome this challenge, this study develops a method to adaptively detect multilevel co-location patterns based on natural neighborhoods. First, locally adaptive neighboring relationships for instances of different spatial features, called ‘natural neighborhoods’, are defined by considering the formation mechanism of co-location patterns and the local-distribution characteristics of spatial features. Using the natural neighborhoods, we propose a multilevel refining method to identify all global and local co-location patterns algorithmically. We compare the proposed method against three state-of-the-art methods using both simulated and real-life datasets. The comparison shows that the proposed method can discover multilevel co-location patterns from unevenly distributed spatial features more completely and accurately with less a priori knowledge for the construction of the natural neighborhoods.

description: Cold, dense clouds of gas have been proposed as baryonic candidates for the dark matter in Galactic haloes, and have also been invoked in the Galactic disc as an explanation for the excess faint sub-mm sources detected by SCUBA. Even if their dust-to-gas ratio is only a small percentage of that in conventional gas clouds, these dense systems would be opaque to visible radiation. This presents the possibility of detecting them by looking for occultations of background stars. We examine the possibility that the data sets of microlensing experiments searching for massive compact halo objects can also be used to search for occultation signatures by cold clouds. We compute the rate and timescale distribution of stellar transits by clouds in the Galactic disc and halo. We find that, for cloud parameters typically advocated by theoretical models, thousands of transit events should already exist within microlensing survey data sets. We examine the seasonal modulation in the rate caused by the Earth's orbital motion and find it provides an excellent probe of whether detected clouds are of disc or halo origin.

description: This paper investigates the determinants of the decision to switch from cultivating bush to high yielding climbing beans and estimates the causal impact of adoption of climbing beans on productivity based a nationally representative sample of bean producing households. An endogenous switching regression model is used to account for the endogenous nature of adoption and accurately quantify the differences in productivity between climbing and bush bean technologies. Adoption of climbing bean varieties substantially increased over the past 15 years. Elevation, rainfall, and cropping systems are important determinants of adoption of climbing beans. Adoption of climbing beans increases productivity by 21 percent among adopters compared to 48 percent for non-adopters.

description: We investigate the consequences of generalizing certain well established properties of the open string metric to the conjectured open membrane and open Dp-brane metrics. By imposing deformation independence on these metrics their functional dependence on the background fields can be determined including the notorious conformal factor. In analogy with the non-commutativity parameter $Θ^{μν}$ in the string case, we also obtain `generalized' theta parameters which are rank q+1 antisymmetric tensors (polyvectors) for open Dq-branes and rank 3 for the open membrane case. The expressions we obtain for the open membrane quantities are expected to be valid for general background field configurations, while the open D-brane quantities are only valid for one parameter deformations. By reducing the open membrane data to five dimensions, we show that they, modulo a subtlety with implications for the relation between OM-theory and NCYM, correctly generate the open string and open D2-data.

A gravitational collapse singularity theorem consistent with black hole evaporation
Creators: name: Minguzzi, E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The global hyperbolicity assumption present in gravitational collapse singularity theorems is in tension with the quantum mechanical phenomenon of black hole evaporation. In this work I show that the causality conditions in Penrose's theorem can be almost completely removed. As a result, it is possible to infer the formation of spacetime singularities even in the absence of predictability and hence compatibly with quantum field theory and black hole evaporation.

Simplified approach to estimate Lorenz number using experimental Seebeck coefficient for non parabolic band

description: Reduction of lattice thermal conductivity ($κ_L$) is one of the most effective ways of improving thermoelectric properties. However extraction of $κ_L$ from the total measured thermal conductivity can be misleading if Lorenz ($L$) number is not estimated correctly. The $κ_L$ is obtained using Wiedemann-Franz law which estimates electronic part of thermal conductivity $κ_e$ = $L$$σ$T where, $σ$ and T are electrical conductivity and temperature. The $κ_L$ is then estimated as $κ_L$ = $κ_T$ - $L$$σ$T. For the metallic system the Lorenz number has universal value of 2.44 $\times$ 10$^{-8}$ W$Ω$K$^{-2}$ (degenerate limit), but for no-degenerate semiconductors, the value can deviate significantly for acoustic phonon scattering, the most common scattering mechanism for thermoelectric above room temperatures. Up till now, $L$ is estimated by solving a series of equation derived form Boltzmann transport equations. For the single parabolic band (SPB) an equation was proposed to estimate $L$ directly from the experimental Seebeck coefficient. However using SPB model will lead to overestimation of $L$ in case of low band gap semiconductors which result in underestimation of $κ_L$ sometimes even negative $κ_L$. In this letter we propose a simpler equation to estimate $L$ for a non parabolic band. Experimental Seebeck coefficient, band gap($E_g$), and Temperature ($T$) are the main inputs in the equation which nearly eliminates the need of solving multiple Fermi integrals besides giving accurate values of $L$.

description: Characterizing event attendees’ travel patterns is key to understanding the dynamics of social events in cities. However, the scientific investigation of event travel patterns has been hindered by the difficulty in gathering travel diaries of participants. Geotagged microblogs provide new opportunities for studying event travel patterns by offering rich locational and semantic information of attendees. Here, we develop, implement, and apply a workflow to characterize travel behaviors of event attendees with geotagged Twitter data, using college football events as a case study. The workflow includes five steps: 1) filtering event attendees using real-time geotagged tweets, 2) identifying origins of the event attendees using historical timeline tweets, 3) identifying past sports-related activities at travel destinations using topic modeling, 4) computing user movement features using origin-destination travel flows, and 5) identifying atypical travel patterns to characterize event attendees. The travel patterns uncovered in the study offer insights into user interests and travel behaviors related to sporting event attendance. The findings demonstrate that our method holds promise in revealing long-term event travel patterns (not limited to sporting events) through the use of geotagged microblogs.

description: We consider the problem to single out a particular state among $2^n$ orthogonal pure states. As it turns out, in general the optimal strategy is not to measure the particles separately, but to consider joint properties of the $n$-particle system. The required number of propositions is $n$. There exist $2^n!$ equivalent operational procedures to do so. We enumerate some configurations for three particles, in particular the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ)- and W-states, which are specific cases of a unitary transformation For the GHZ-case, an explicit physical meaning of the projection operators is discussed.

description: Pulses are vital for nutrition security and considered a cost-effective option for improving the diets of low-income consumers in developing countries. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest proportion of people living in extreme poverty and highest per capita pulse consumption in the world. Most studies on pulse demand have largely depended on aggregated data at regional level and there is little information on household level consumption patterns across sub-population groups within the same geographical location. This study uses the most recently collected LSMS-ISA data in Uganda, which is nationally representative, to analyze household food demand, with a focus on bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) consumption in order to unmask differences between poorer and better-off households in urban and rural areas. An augmented Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS), accounting for censoring, is used to estimate household food demand, where bean is included as its own food group. Household spending on bean increases with wealth but food budget share spent on bean declines with wealth. As household expenditure increases, demand for bean increases, however the magnitude of this increment decreases as income rises and is of smaller magnitude in urban areas; an indication that urbanization has led to changes in consumer preferences. Demand for bean among rural and urban poor households is more responsive to changes in price compared with urban non-poor households, making the former more vulnerable to price volatility.

Black Hole Growth in Dark Matter and the M_{bh} - σRelation

description: In this article we consider the growth of seed black holes immersed in dark matter halos. We first investigate the adiabatic growth in various initial distribution functions (isothermal, power law, and NFW) and find the resulting density, radial velocity, and anisotropy profiles. In addition we estimate the growth rate for a given black hole mass in the corresponding adiabatically modified dark matter distribution function. Only in the isothermal case is there a convincing black hole mass-age relation. By calculating the line of sight velocity dispersion for the various cases as a function of the black hole mass, we find the predicted adiabatic $M_{bh}-σ$ relation; this never approaches the recently observed power law. We conclude by abandoning adiabaticity, suggesting that the black hole grows proportionally to the dark matter halo itself on a dynamic time scale. This allows us to relate the observed $M_{bh}-σ$ relation to the cosmological power spectrum on galactic scales by using dimensional scaling arguments.

description: The Yukawa coupling of fermions with a periodic bosonic background is shown to give rise to several bound states to the fermionic spectrum, with some bound states gluing together around specific energy eingenvalues as the Yukawa coupling increases. This effect induces the presence of degenerate energy states inside the fermionic gap and may be of current interest.
