description: Anaerobic fermentation can increase biomass energy use efficiency of crop straws and realizes win-win of energy and environment. This paper explored the biogas generation performance of anaerobic digestion of cow dung liquid as nitrogen source in three different levels of stirring intensity at 30℃ constant temperature condition. Through pH value, biogas production, chemical oxygen demand (COD), methane content, volatile fatty acid (VFA), principal component analysis (PCA) and modified Gompertz model, effects of agitating intensity on anaerobic digestion performance of corn straw silage were evaluated. Results indicate that the COD removal rate of three agitating intensity levels is higher than 85%, and pH value is about 6.5; the cumulative biogas production after 20 days is 2 h ＞ 4 h ＞ 1 h of agitating; in the 49th day, the biogas production is 1.9 L at 30 min / 2 h, 1.7 L at 30 min / 4h, and 1.6 L at 30 min / h; the maximum biogas production rate is 30 min / 2 h ＞ 30 min / 4 h＞30 min / h; and the maximum methane production rate is 30 min / 4 h ＞ 30 min / 2 h ＞ 30 min / h; in the same energy consumption, the biogas production at 30 min / 4h is higher than 1 h. In conclusion, overall analysis of energy consumption and economic factors indicate that 30 min/ 4 h agitating intensity is more suitable for straw biogas fermentation project. This study is expected to provide theoretical foundation for biogas fermentation project.

description: The impact of government policy on the dynamics of agricultural supply in the 1980s is explored. Specifically, an intertemporal acreage allocation model that allows for the impact of compulsory grain delivery is developed. Subsequently, an estimable dynamic acreage demand equation is derived, and estimated for a crop using regionlevel data. Generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators for dynamic panel data models are used. The elasticity estimates thus obtained suggest that the demand for crop acreage (and hence the supply of crop output) responded negatively to the level of forced grain procurement, and positively to output price.

description: This article examines Ethiopia’s instability in export earnings, prices and quantities of the major export commodities over the period 1964-2002. Analysis of the composition of exports through time reveals that Ethiopia has not diversified the commodity structure of its exports in that its export earnings depend on only a few agricultural products. In fact, the results of this study show that six agricultural commodities (chat, coffee, fruits and vegetables, hides and skins, oilseeds, and pulses) accounted for about 86% of the total export earnings of the country. The results indicate that the amplitude of instability varied from one commodity to another. Moreover, the results show that for the major export commodities, except for coffee, domestic supply factors were more important in explaining instability in earnings than demand related factors. The findings of this study suggest that the country needs to break away from its heavy dependence on traditional export commodities for which it is a marginal exporter, thus a price taker.

description: The principles of horizontal and vertical equity are central in fiscal policy. The distributional implications of a taxation system are derived from how the tax codes incorporate these principles for a given pattern of income distribution. This paper examines the distributional issues and implications of personal income tax reforms in Ethiopia with reference to the civil service sector. The theoretical issues and policies are analyzed in light of the 1994 and 2002 income tax reforms. We argue that whereas the reform measures undertaken so far have addressed some problems in the fiscal system, further measures are needed to improve the capacity of the tax code to promote the principles of equity and to encourage capital accumulation and growth efforts. The built-in structure of the tax system, coupled with conventional approaches in tax policy design and implementation, has contributed towards policy stances that weaken the role that the tax system could play in promoting sustainable economic growth and address problems of chronic poverty.

description: Non-linearity within the primary measurement range of a lipase assay (<300 U/L) has been shown on Cobas® Roche analyzers, causing gaps in results distribution between 300 and 400 U/L. Since, new lipase method applications (LMAs) have been used. The purpose is to retrospectively evaluate their impact on relative frequencies of lipase results (RFLs). Plasma lipase results from two hospital laboratories, assayed over 7.2 years, were collected. Over this period, three successive LMAs, characterized by automated repeat-on-dilution (1/11, 1/2, or 1/10), were applied for lipase results >300 U/L: LMA1 and LMA2 on the Modular®P800, Cobas®c501 and Cobas®C701 analyzers, and LMA3 on the Cobas®C701. RFLs were determined, linearity tests were performed, and inter-agreements between lipase results corrected and uncorrected for nonlinear biases were assessed, using 180 U/L as a decisional cut-off for acute pancreatitis. Overall, RFL gaps narrowed from LMA1 (300 to ∼380 U/L) to LMA3 (300 to ∼330 U/L). For a lipase activity fixed at 300 U/L, non-linearity biases were determined at −11.2% on the Modular®P800 (LMA1), −20.8% on the Cobas®c501 (LMA1), and −3.5% (LMA2) and −2.2% (LM3) on the Cobas®C701. Diagnostically, a maximum of 0.48% lipase results were misclassified as negative (LMA1 on the Cobas®c501), and a minimum of 0.01% misclassified as negative (LMA3 on the Cobas®C701). In conclusion, successive Roche lipase method applications improved linearity within the primary measurement range. While persisting, gaps in lipase results distribution narrowed with the evolution of the methods, with a minor impact in terms of diagnostic of acute pancreatitis.

How bright are fast optical bursts associated with fast radio bursts?

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is still unknown. Multi-wavelength observations during or shortly after the FRB phase would be essential to identify the counterpart of an FRB and to constrain its progenitor and environment. In this work, we investigate the brightness of the "fast optical bursts" (FOBs) associated with FRBs and the prospects of detecting them. We investigate several inverse Compton (IC) scattering processes that might produce an FOB, including both the one-zone and two-zone models. We also investigate the extension of the same mechanism of FRB emission to the optical band. We find that a detectable FOB with the current and forthcoming telescopes is possible under the IC scenarios with very special conditions. In particular, the FRB environment would need to invoke a neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field and an extremely fast spin, or an extremely young supernova remnant (SNR) surrounding the FRB source. Furthermore, most electrons in the source are also required to have a fine-tuned energy distribution such that most of the IC energy is channeled in the optical band. We conclude that the prospect of detecting FOBs associated with FRBs is low. On the other hand, if FOBs are detected from a small fraction of FRBs, these FOBs would reveal extreme physical conditions in the FRB environments.

A functional and gene regulatory analysis of the effects of interferon gamma treatment on the dendritic cell response to Aspergillus fumigatus infection in the setting of calcineurin inhibition
Creators: name: Adlakha, Amit Gorav
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a lethal opportunistic fungal infection with high mortality in lung transplant recipients on calcineurin inhibitors. An understanding of the host immune response is critical to improving clinical outcomes. In this thesis I characterize the function of dendritic cells, which bridge innate and adaptive immunity, in response to Aspergillus fumigatus during calcineurin inhibition, and ascertain a potential role of interferon gamma in augmenting the host response. I examined the effects of calcineurin inhibitors on the key dendritic cells pathogen responses of phagocytosis, maturation and cytokine secretion, using a monocyte derived dendritic cell model. I used a mixed leucocyte reaction to analyze T cell stimulatory capacity of dendritic cells, and then introduced macrophages to assess the effect of calcineurin inhibitors and interferon gamma on macrophage fungal killing by dendritic cells indirectly via T cells. Calcineurin inhibitors impaired dendritic cell maturation in response to A. fumigatus, impaired CD4 Th1 polarization and macrophage fungal killing. Interferon gamma restored maturation, promoted the Th1 phenotype and improved macrophage phagocytosis via a T cell dependent effect on dendritic cells. I evaluated regulatory transcriptomic pathways in dendritic cells and macrophages by RNA-Seq, finding a divergence of transcriptional pathways of myeloid cells commensurate with their innate functions. Interferon gamma elicited gene expression profiles in dendritic cells suggestive of activation of non calcineurin-NFAT immune pathways. I investigated regulation of gene expression in dendritic cells by identifying active chromatin elements by histone modification ChIP-Seq. This revealed dominant control by an interferon gamma-induced regulatory switch from STAT3 to STAT1 transcription factor binding in the control of A. fumigatus infection during calcineurin inhibitor treatment. These findings reveal mechanisms by which interferon gamma treatment augments the dendritic cell mediated immune response to A. fumigatus infection during calcineurin inhibitor treatment, and provides support for its clinical use as immunoadjuvant therapy in this patient population.

SaphnecruS tianmuShanuS Wang & Chen, 2010, n. syn.
Type material. Holotype ♀ and 4♀ paratypes (deposited in ZAFU). Collecting data: Shicang (Songyang, Zhejiang, China), 119º 29’ E, 28º 20’ N, 1981-XII-10, leg. Han-lin Chen.
Additional material. Wuyishan (Fujian province), gall 9143 on Quercus sp, (2015-VII-31) 2015-VIII-10: 2♀, leg. Shen Jie.
Comments. This species was originally described in Andricus Hartig, later placed in Ufo (Wachi et al., 2011) and recently transferred to Saphonecrus (Melika et al., 2012). It is obtained from galls collected on Quercus, subgenus Cyclobalanopsis. Here it was obtained from leaf galls (Fig. 6c) collected in unknown Quercus. This species is mentioned from Japan and Taiwan (Schwéger et al., 2015a); first record from Mainland China.
After examining the Holotype of Saphnecrus tianmushanus and studying the original description (Wang et al., 2010), we have detected some important mistakes, as for example: the number of flagellomeres is 11 (not 12 as it is mentioned in the original description), the pronotal carinae is present (absent in the original description), mesoscutum have piliferous points (not mentioned in the original description) and medial mesoscutal impression present (weak in the original description, but only it is weak in a single specimen). In summary, after reexamining the type material of Saphnecrus tianmushanus Wang & Chen, we conclude that it is a n. syn. of Saphonecrus shirakashii (Shinji, 1940).

description: We present a semi-analytical model that predicts the excitation of surface-plasmon polaritons (SPP) on a graphene sheet located in front of a sub-wavelength slit drilled in thick metal screen. We identify the signature of the SPP in the transmission, reflection, and absorption curves. Following previous literature on noble-metal plasmonics, we characterize the efficiency of excitation of SPP's in graphene computing a spatial probability density. This quantity shows the presence of plasmonics resonances dispersing with the Fermi energy, $E_F$, as $\sqrt{E_F}$ an unambiguous signature of graphene plasmons.

Subjects: Consumer/Household Economics

description: Data drawn from studies designed to measure consumer acceptance or consumer preference are frequently misinterpreted simply because it is not clear which is being measured. It is necessary to know whether consumers can distinguish between alternatives before their preferences can be established. Consumer preference seeks the motivation for buying behavior; consumer acceptance records buying behavior. Discrimination tests are necessary prerequisites to intelligent preference studies, which in turn delimit the scope of acceptance studies. This paper suggests concise definitions of acceptance and preference that should reduce misinterpretation and faculty measurement.

Pujade-Villar et al. (2015) described in September a new species from leaf galls (Fig. 6d) collected in China on Lithocarpus harlandii named Saphonecrus lithocarpi Pujade-Villar, Guo, Wang & Chen, 2015. Several months later, in December of the same year, Schwéger et al., (2015a) described from Taiwan in bud and leaf galls on Lithocarpus glabra (in bud galls) and L. konishii (in leaf galls) the species S. lithocarpii Schwéger & Melika, 2015. In accordance with Article 58.14 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ZNC; Fourth Edition, 1999), specific names with the endings «-i» or «-ii» are the same, and therefore, S. lithocarpii is a homonym of S. lithocarpi and needs to be replaced according to articles 52.2 and 23.3.5 (NZC). The name Saphonecrus taiwanensis Pujade-Villar nomen novum is proposed to replace Saphonecrus lithocarpii Schwéger & Melika, 2015. See also comments of S. lithocarpi (below).

description: Investigation and modulation of the electrical activity of neurons and cardiomyocytes is essential to understand the underlying mechanisms and treatment of neurological and cardiac diseases. Furthermore, having two-way interfaces with cells is crucial for brain-machine interfacing and engineering of more effective tissue regenerative scaffolds. Development of various optical and bioelectronics platforms over the decades has enabled probing of excitable cells to monitor and modulate their electrical activity. Ideally, the recording/stimulating platform should enable long-term stable interfaces and multi-site recordings/stimulation with sub-millisecond temporal and sub-cellular spatial resolution. Even though significant progress has been made, the current technologies are still limited on various fronts. Specifically, (i) patch clamp technique is limited by its recording sites, (ii) metal-based microelectrode array (MEA) are incapable to record at a single cell or sub-cellular level, (iii) high rigidity of Si-based probes lead to mechanical mismatch with the tissue thus impeding long-term stable interfaces, (iv) planar field effect transistors (FETs) are limited by the charge storage and injection capacities needed to stimulate cells, (v) voltage/ion sensitive dyes are limited in temporal resolution especially for volume measurements, and (vi) optogenetics is limited by the need of genetic modification of cells.
In this thesis work, the limitations of current techniques were addressed by developing platforms using an extraordinary carbon-based nanomaterial called graphene. Graphene’s physical, chemical and electrical properties were tuned by tailoring its morphology and structure. The high transparency of two-dimensional planar graphene was leveraged to develop transparent MEA platform that enabled simultaneous optical and electrical recordings, thus integrating the high spatial and temporal advantages of both the techniques. The high surface area of out-of-plane grown three-dimensional (3D) graphene was leveraged to develop ultra-microelectrode arrays that enabled recordings at sub-cellular spatial and sub-msec temporal resolutions. The high photo-absorbance and photo-thermal efficiency of nanowire-templated 3D graphene was leveraged to enable non-genetic photo-stimulation of neurons with high precision and sub-cellular spatial resolution. The tools developed in this thesis push the limits of the current technology which will further enhance our understanding of the tissue functioning both in healthy and disease states. Furthermore, it will enable development of better diagnostic and therapeutic platforms for both cardiac and neurological disorders.
Investigating lactate metabolism in cancer and its therapeutic implications
Creators: name: Barnes, Emily Mary Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Cancer cells upregulate their glucose utilisation via aerobic glycolysis, in a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. Akt signalling is a major driver of malignancy, including the Warburg effect. Therapeutic targeting of Akt often leads to reduced glucose uptake, which is often considered a pharmacodynamic biomarker and mediator of the anti-tumour effects of Akt inhibition. However, it has become increasingly apparent that cancer cell metabolism is far more complex and heterogenous. Of note, the glycolytic end product lactate, which is often present in tumours at elevated concentrations along with increased acidity, can be transported via monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) and used as a fuel by cancer cells. Therefore, we hypothesised that lactate utilisation induces resistance to Akt inhibitors that target glucose utilisation. We used the Akt inhibitor uprosertib, which reduces glucose uptake in patients, to investigate the influence of lactic acid on response to treatment in HCT116 and LS174T colon cancer cells in vitro. Stable isotope labelling and metabolomics were used to investigate lactic acid utilisation and its influence on growth and survival of cells. Results showed that lactic acid induced resistance to uprosertib treatment in HCT116 and LS174T cells. Furthermore, preferential lactate utilisation via the TCA cycle and enhanced oxidation was maintained in the presence of uprosertib treatment. Combining uprosertib with the mitochondrial Complex I inhibitor metformin or the MCT1 inhibitor AZD3965, was sufficient to re-sensitise cells to uprosertib treatment. Although lactic acid did not induce resistance to all Akt inhibitors, a kinase inhibitor screen identified many other inhibitors that showed a differential response in the presence of lactic acid. Overall, this study showed that lactic acidosis may be a novel mechanism of resistance to uprosertib and other kinase inhibitors and targeted to improve therapeutic response in patients.

description: The aim of this deliverable is to illustrate the computational architecture adopted by the CAPABLE project and describe the development model chosen for its implementation. Since CAPABLE is conceived as a distributed system the deliverable will provide an overview of the components building up that system and the way in which they interact supporting patients through coaching actions and doctors with suggestions for selecting the most appropriate guideline and complying with it. The process adopted by the partners responsible for developing the CAPABLE components producing the artifact is also described. It was chosen from the beginning to be shaped after the Agile paradigm and will be based on a sequence of iterations. This document will enumerate and define the scope of the different iterations envisioned for the project, illustrating for each one the underlying principles and the main goals to be achieved at its end. In the last part, the deliverable illustrates the generic deployment architecture on which the whole
 development of the CAPABLE system has been shaped from the beginning. It introduces the security model, the network architecture and the protocols used. That blueprint has then been submitted to Istituti Clinici Scientifici Maugeri (ICSM) and Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) that are the two clinical partners where the pilot trials are planned to be accomplished. The deliverable also details the software managing products available at the two clinical sites along with the specific constraints and criticalities for each of them.

description: We demonstrate diabatic two-qubit gates with Pauli error rates down to $4.3(2)\cdot 10^{-3}$ in as fast as 18 ns using frequency-tunable superconducting qubits. This is achieved by synchronizing the entangling parameters with minima in the leakage channel. The synchronization shows a landscape in gate parameter space that agrees with model predictions and facilitates robust tune-up. We test both iSWAP-like and CPHASE gates with cross-entropy benchmarking. The presented approach can be extended to multibody operations as well.

Trans-Magnetosonic Accretion in a Black Hole Magnetosphere
Creators: name: Takahashi, Masaaki
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present the critical conditions for hot trans-fast magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) flows in a stationary and axisymmetric black-hole magnetosphere. To accrete onto the black hole, the MHD flow injected from a plasma source with low velocity must pass through the fast magnetosonic point after passing through the ``inner'' or ``outer'' Alfven point. We find that a trans-fast MHD accretion solution related to the inner Alfven point is invalid when the hydrodynamical effects on the MHD flow dominate at the magnetosonic point, while the other accretion solution related to the outer Alfven point is invalid when the total angular momentum of the MHD flow is seriously large. When both regimes of the accretion solutions are valid in the black hole magnetosphere, we can expect the transition between the two regimes. The variety of these solutions would be important in many highly energetic astrophysical situations.

description: The recently developed precession electron diffraction (PED) technique in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has been used to elucidate the local strain distribution and crystalline misorientation in CMOS fabricated strained Ge micro disk structure grown on Si substrate. Such structures are considered to be a compact optical source for the future photonics due to the specific undercut for direct bandgap behaviour under strain. In this study, the strain maps are interpreted and compared with a finite element model (FEM) of the strain in the investigated structure. Results demonstrate that the SiN used as a stressor on top of the Ge disk induces an in-plane strain $ε_{xx}$ of a maximum value of almost 2 % which is also confirmed by FEM simulations. This tensile strain can reduce the difference between the direct and indirect bandgaps leading to direct bandgap radiative transitions, with the potential for applications in strained Ge lasers.

SaphonecruS chinenSiS Tang & Schwéger, 2015 n. syn.
This species was described based on adult females reared from galls (Fig. 6d) collected on Lithocarpus harlandii. After the first author consulted the typical series deposited in ZAFU (12 paratypes) he noted that this series contains males and not only females, the correct sex of this series is 3 males and 9 females (1♂ & 1♀ deposited now in UB). The males differ from females in the following characters: antenna (Fig. 5c) with 15 antennomeres, antennal formula: 4.0/ 2.5/ 4.0/ 3.5/ 3.5/ 3.5/ 3.5/ 3.5/ 3.5/ 3.5/ 3.25/ 3.0/ 3.0/ 2.5/ 2.5; pedicellum shorter, 1.5 times as long as wide; F1 modified, slightly curved and more expanded distally than basally, 1.6 times as long as pedicellum; ratio of POL:OOL:LOL is 4:3:2 and relative lateral diameter of ocellus 2.0; head more massive in dorsal view around 2.0 times as long as broad, and smaller in size (1.5–1.6 mm, N= 2).
Saphonecrus lithocarpi belongs to a group of species characterized by having Lithocarpus as host galls. After consulting Schwéger et al. (2015a), the species and Saphonecrus chinensis Tang & Schwéger, 2015 appear to be the same species except for small difference in posterodorsal punctuation of the metasoma: absent in S. chinesis Schwéger et al. (2015a) and present in S. lithocarpi (Pujade-Villar et al., 2015). Nevertheless, a small punctuation area is distinctly observable in S. chinesis (Figure 38, Schwéger et al., 2015a), similar to what was seen S. lithocarpi (Figure 1B, Pujade-Villar et al., 2015). We therefore conclude that the two species are the same, with Saphonecrus lithocarpi, which was described in September, being the valid species, while S. chinensis, which was described in December, being the junior synonym. According to the priority in publication date (NZC art. 23) we herein formally propose Saphonecrus chinensis Tang & Schwéger, 2015 as a n. syn. of S. lithocarpi Pujade-Villar, Guo, Wang & Chen, 2015.

Higher-order interactions in complex networks of phase oscillators promote abrupt synchronization switching

description: Synchronization processes play critical roles in the functionality of a wide range of both natural and man-made systems. Recent work in physics and neuroscience highlights the importance of higher-order interactions between dynamical units, i.e., three- and four-way interactions in addition to pairwise interactions, and their role in shaping collective behavior. Here we show that higher-order interactions between coupled phase oscillators, encoded microscopically in a simplicial complex, give rise to added nonlinearity in the macroscopic system dynamics that induces abrupt synchronization transitions via hysteresis and bistability of synchronized and incoherent states. Moreover, these higher-order interactions can stabilize strongly synchronized states even when the pairwise coupling is repulsive. These findings reveal a self-organized phenomenon that may be responsible for the rapid switching to synchronization in many biological and other systems that exhibit synchronization without the need of particular correlation mechanisms between the oscillators and the topological structure.

Re-Analysis of Michelson-Morley Experiments Reveals Agreement with COBE Cosmic Background Radiation Preferred Frame so Impacting on Interpretation of General Relativity

description: We report a re-analysis of the old results from the Michelson-Morley interferometer experiments that were designed to detect absolute motion. We build upon a recent (1998) re-analysis of the original data by Munera, which revealed small but significant effects after allowing for several systematic errors in the original analyses. The further re-analysis here reveals that a genuine effect of absolute motion is expected, in what is essentially a quantum interference experiment, but only if the photons travel in the interferometer at speeds V < c. This is the case if the interferometer operates in a dielectric, such as air, or helium as was the case of the Illingworth (1927) Michelson-Morley experiment. The re-analysis here of the Illingworth experimental data correcting for the refractive index effect of the helium, reveals an absolute speed of the Earth of v=369+/-123 km/s, which is in agreement with the speed of v=365+/-18 km/s determined from the dipole fit, in 1991, to the NASA COBE satellite Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR) observations. These experimental results refute Einstein's assertion that absolute motion through space has no meaning, and require a re-assessment of the interpretation of General Relativity.
