description: The experiment was conducted to study the performance of Kukje self-propelled rice transplanter and to study the economic feasibility of mechanical transplanting method over manual transplanting method. Each of the transplanting method had three unit plots of sized 20 m x 10 m. The field efficiency and planting efficiency of the transplanter were 83.33% and 95%, respectively. Percent damaged (3.33%) and missing (5.33%) hills were higher in mechanical transplanting method and percent floating (4.33%) hill was higher in case of manual transplanting method. The average labor input in mechanical transplanting was 1.4 man-day/ha where 25 man-day/ha was in case of manual transplanting. The total production costs were 53612 tk/ha and 49304 tk/ha for manual transplanting and mechanical transplanting methods, respectively. Crop established with mechanical transplanting method resulted in higher average grain yield of 6.66 t/ha than manual transplanting method resulted average grain yield of 5.83 t/ha. The net return of manual and mechanical transplanting method were 42310 and 61080 tk/ha, respectively. The benefit cost ratios (BCR) were 2.24 and 1.78 for mechanical transplanting method and manual transplanting method, respectively. Kukje self-propelled rice transplanter should have break-even area coverage more than 10 ha/yr for economic transplanting. The above result showed that the mechanical transplanting method is more economic than the manual transplanting method

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit zielt darauf ab, Gemeinsamkeiten in der sexuellen Biografie von heterosexuellen Frauen zu identifizieren, die ein starkes sexuelles Verlangen haben. Welche möglichen Faktoren in ihrer Summe zu einem starken sexuellen Begehren führen können, wird mit dieser Arbeit untersucht. Die zugrunde liegende These lautet, dass Frauen in der Lage sind, ein intensives sexuelles Verlangen zu entwickeln – entgegen der verbreiteten Annahme, dass Frauen im Allgemeinen weniger Lust auf Sex haben als Männer (Conley et al., 2011). Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage wird im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit der aktuelle Wissensstand zum weiblichen Begehren dargestellt und um einem kurzen Rückblick in die Geschichte der weiblichen Sexualität ergänzt. Der zweite Teil erforscht die Fragestellung dieser Arbeit anhand qualitativer Interviews mit fünf Frauen, die ein starkes sexuelles Begehren verspüren. Die Ergebnisse werden anhand des Modells ,Sexocorporel’ analysiert und vorgestellt.

description: The poster focuses on a review and outline of options for improvement of the data management workflow in the Biodiversity Exploratories and BEXIS2 data management software.

The Biodiversity Exploratories (BE) project is a German research platform. Scientists from different research institutions are investigating biodiversity in grasslands and forests. Since 2006, projects have collected a wide range of data (e.g. tabular data, R-scripts, images, GIS data). To promote data management, good data quality and to encourage data sharing between projects over time, a data management team was always part of the BE and the data management software of the BE (BExIS) was launched in 2007.

In the following years, the data curation workflow, data policy, and software features were revised several times to meet the growing demands on data quality and to meet the FAIR principles. In 2021, we migrated to the data management software BEXIS2.

In the last year we developed an application that automatically creates standardized GitHub issues for each newly created dataset to document the data curation and sends curation emails. In the next step, the BE data management team and the BEXIS2 core team want to integrate data curation in the data management software BEXIS2 to automate and reduce the workload of curation.

description: The unique properties of commercially pure titanium (cpTi) and its alloys makes it best suited for medical applications. This silver-gray metal has impressed everyone with its features like light weight, strength and above all its ability to bind with the human bone in a process known as osseointegration or biointegration. The metal is coated with a ceramic called hydroxyapatite (HA) for developing a better bone bonding. This paper gives an overview on the different methods used for coating HA onto cpTi.

description: We consider the supersymmetric vector multiplet in a purely quantum framework. We obtain some discrepancies with respect to the literature in the expression of the super-propagator and we prove that the model is consistent only for positive mass. The gauge structure is constructed purely deductive and leads to the necessity of introducing scalar ghost superfields, in analogy to the usual gauge theories. The construction of a consistent supersymmetric gauge theory based on the vector model depends crucially one the definition of gauge invariance. We find some significant difficulties to impose a supersymmetric gauge invariance condition for the usual expressions from the literature.

description: We introduce a novel heuristic global optimization method, energy landscape paving (ELP), which combines core ideas from energy surface deformation and tabu search. In appropriate limits, ELP reduces to existing techniques. The approach is very general and flexible and is illustrated here on two protein folding problems. For these examples, the technique gives faster convergence to the global minimum than previous approaches.

description: This experiment was conducted to bring in a suitable and economic agarwood oil extraction method for Agar tree (Aquilaria agollocha) growers in Bangladesh. Agarwood was collected from Fotikchori upazila of Chittagong district and a prototype of hydro-distillation extraction chamber was developed at the lab of Department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during January to March 2013. Using the prototype, 7 ml of agarwood oil was extracted from 15 kg matured agarwood. It was found from the calculation that the developed system can bring yearly benefit of Tk. 7,78,389 with benefit-cost ratio as 2.33. This development was, therefore, proven very beneficial for Bangladeshi agar tree growers.

description: While the cost of sequencing genomes has decreased dramatically in recent years, this expense often remains non-trivial. Under a fixed budget, then, scientists face a natural trade-off between quantity and quality; they can spend resources to sequence a greater number of genomes (quantity) or spend resources to sequence genomes with increased accuracy (quality). Our goal is to find the optimal allocation of resources between quantity and quality. Optimizing resource allocation promises to reveal as many new variations in the genome as possible, and thus as many new scientific insights as possible. In this paper, we consider the common setting where scientists have already conducted a pilot study to reveal variants in a genome and are contemplating a follow-up study. We introduce a Bayesian nonparametric methodology to predict the number of new variants in the follow-up study based on the pilot study. When experimental conditions are kept constant between the pilot and follow-up, we demonstrate on real data from the gnomAD project that our prediction is more accurate than three recent proposals, and competitive with a more classic proposal. Unlike existing methods, though, our method allows practitioners to change experimental conditions between the pilot and the follow-up. We demonstrate how this distinction allows our method to be used for (i) more realistic predictions and (ii) optimal allocation of a fixed budget between quality and quantity.

description: Although a microbiological diagnosis of pleural infection is clinically important, it is often complicated by prior antibiotic treatment and/or difficulties with culturing some bacterial species. Therefore, we aimed to identify probable causative bacteria in pleural empyema/parapneumonic effusions by combining 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene amplification and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Pleural fluids were collected from 19 patients with infectious effusions and nine patients with non-infectious malignant effusions. We analysed DNA extracted from the pleural fluid supernatant by NGS using the Genome Search Toolkit and GenomeSync database, either directly or after PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene. Infectious and non-infectious effusions were distinguished by semi-quantitative PCR of the 16S rRNA gene. Only 8 (42%) effusions were culture-positive, however, NGS of the 16S rRNA gene amplicon identified 14 anaerobes and 7 aerobes/facultative anaerobes in all patients, including Streptococcus sp. (n = 6), Fusobacterium sp. (n = 5), Porphyromonas sp. (n = 5), and Prevotella sp. (n = 4), accounting for >10% of the total genomes. The culture and NGS results were discordant for 3 out of 8 patients, all of whom had previously been treated with antibiotics. Total (2ΔCT value in semi-quantitative PCR of the 16S rRNA gene) and specific (total bacterial load multiplied by the proportion of primary bacteria in NGS) bacterial loads could efficiently distinguish empyema/parapneumonic effusion from non-infectious effusion. Combining NGS with semi-quantitative PCR can facilitate the diagnosis of pleural empyema/parapneumonic effusion and its causal bacteria.

description: A new mechanism of double-component convection is discovered. It emerges in a horizontal layer of Boussinesq fluid as a stable stratification due to flux boundary conditions is added to an unstable gradient specified by fixed boundary values. A large enough perturbation substantially decreases the stable flux gradient but fails to mix the unstable fixed-value gradient. Steady finite-amplitude flows reminiscent of Rayleigh--Benard convection then arise even as the net background stratification is stable, emphasizing the importance of the identified mechanism for double-component fluid systems. V2 Abstract: A new mechanism of double-component convection is discovered. It emerges in a horizontal layer of Boussinesq fluid as a stable stratification due to flux boundary conditions is added to an unstable gradient specified by fixed boundary values. Driven by this mechanism, steady finite-amplitude flows reminiscent of Rayleigh--Benard convection arise even when the background density stratification is stable.

Quantum enhancement to information acquisition speed

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The speed of the transmission of a physical signal from a sender to a receiver is limited by the speed of light, regardless of the physical system being classical or quantum. In this sense, quantum mechanics can not provide any enhancement of the speed of information. If instead we consider that the information needing to be transmitted is not localized at the sender's location, but dispersed throughout space, spatial coherence might provide an enhancement of the information speed. In this work, we demonstrate a quantum mechanical advantage in the speed of acquirement and transmission of information globally encoded in space. We present a task for which we prove a quadratic enhancement to the information speed of quantum information carriers with respect to their classical counterpart. Our findings can naturally be applied in situations where the information source has limited power, i.e. bounded number of signals that can be sent per unit time.

description: Motivated by the fact that the medial axis transform is able to encode nearly the complete shape, we propose to use as few medial balls as possible to approximate the original enclosed volume by the boundary surface. We progressively select new medial balls, in a top-down style, to enlarge the region spanned by the existing medial balls. The key spirit of the selection strategy is to encourage large medial balls while imposing given geometric constraints. We further propose a speedup technique based on a provable observation that the intersection of medial balls implies the adjacency of power cells (in the sense of the power crust). We further elaborate the selection rules in combination with two closely related applications. One application is to develop an easy-to-use ball-stick modeling system that helps non-professional users to quickly build a shape with only balls and wires, but any penetration between two medial balls must be suppressed. The other application is to generate porous structures with convex, compact (with a high isoperimetric quotient) and shape-aware pores where two adjacent spherical pores may have penetration as long as the mechanical rigidity can be well preserved.

description: This experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of tobacco yield under different irrigation practices and tobacco varieties during November 2012 to April 2013 (Rabi season) at Paharpur village of Kushtia district. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Four treatments were T0 (control, no irrigation), T1 (traditional practice; 13 cm irrigation water applied), T2 (10 cm irrigation water applied) and T3 (5 cm irrigation water applied). Three tobacco varieties were used for the experiment viz. V1 (NC 95), V2 (K 326) and V3 (CS 447). All necessary data on yield and yield contributing characters including irrigation were collected from experimental plots. Irrigation treatments showed significant effects on yield and yield contributing characters of tobacco. Results revealed that the highest cured leaf yield (3.83 t ha-1 ) was obtained in treatment T2 followed by T3 (3.46 t ha-1 ) and T1 (3.07 t ha-1 ). The highest and lowest yield were obtained as 5.05 t ha-1 and 2.85 t ha-1 for the interactions T2V2 and T1V1, respectively. Highest water productivity (63.92 kg/ha/cm) was found in treatment T3. Among three tobacco varieties, V2 (K 326) gave highest yield followed by V3 (CS 447) and V1 (NC 95) as 3.17, 2.38 and 2.22 t ha-1 , respectively. Therefore, application of 10 cm irrigation water on the variety K 326 can be the promising practice for cultivation of tobacco.

description: In health care workers SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to be an occupational health risk, often associated with transmission between health care workers. Yet, insufficient information on transmission dynamics has been presented to elucidate the precise risk factors for contracting SARS-CoV-2 in this group. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated association between questionnaire answers on potential exposure situations and SARS-CoV-2-positivity. Health care workers with and without COVID-19-patient contact at nine units at Skåne University Hospitals in Malmö and Lund, Sweden and university employees from Lund University, Sweden were enrolled. To limit impact of health care worker to health care worker transmission, units with known outbreaks were excluded. A SARS-CoV-2-positive case was defined by a previous positive PCR or anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG in the ZetaGene COVID-19 Antibody Test. SARS-CoV-2-positivity was detected in 11/51 (22%) health care workers in COVID-19-units, 10/220 (5%) in non-COVID-19-units and 11/192 (6%) University employees (p = .001, Fischer’s exact). In health care workers, SARS-CoV-2-positivity was associated with work in a designated COVID-19-unit (OR 5.7 (95CI 2.1–16)) and caring for COVID-19-patients during the majority of shifts (OR 5.4 (95CI 2.0–15)). In all participants, SARS-CoV-2-positivity was associated with a confirmed COVID-19 case (OR 10 (95CI 2.0–45)) in the household. Our study confirmed previous findings of elevated risk of acquiring SARS-CoV-2 in health care workers in COVID-19-units, despite exclusion of units with known outbreaks. Interestingly, health care workers in non-COVID-19-units had similar risk as University employees. Further measures to improve the safety of health care workers might be needed.KEY POINTSPrevious findings of elevated risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 in health care workers with COVID-19 patient contact was confirmed, despite exclusion of wards with known SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks.

description: Fresh stem amaranth was analyzed for proximate composition and the developed pickles were analyzed for proximate composition, microbiological status, sensory attributes and overall storage stability of the pickles. Pickle was prepareded with sugar, salt, oil and vinegar. Five formulations of stem amaranth were prepared. Fresh stem amaranth contains 96.0% moisture, 1.0% ash, 0.01% fat, 2.0% protein and 30 mg/100g vitamin-C. The chemical analysis of pickles showed that moisture content was highly reduced in all processed samples. The microbiological studies revealed that total viable counts of bacteria and fungal growth were high in the pickles prepared without vinegar and sugar but it was low with vinegar-sugar-oil mix. The panelists marked for colour, flavor, texture and overall acceptability and analyzed statistically. Among five samples, the pickles prepared with vinegar-sugar-oil mix were the best. Storage studies were carried out up to six months at room temperature. Minor change was observed for color and flavor

description: The study was done to evaluate the quality status of selected commercial brands of juices and jams based on laboratory analysis and public perception. The entire research work was carried out in two phases to evaluate the quality of juices and jams, available in local market. In phase I, a comprehensive baseline survey was done to know the public perception and this revealed that, according to the notion of most respondents, commercial juice and jam products available in market were adulterated by harmful food colors, low grade fruits and harmful preservatives and these were harmful for health. Besides, some outcome from this survey, such as, avoiding low quality products and adopting BSTI standard, enforcing law and imposing punishment and social motivation of food consumers to prevent adulteration. In phase II, chemical analysis and sensory evaluation of selected samples were done. The collected samples were four different brands of mango juices, two different brands of mango jam, two different brands of pineapple jam and apple jam from one brand. Different parameters of collected samples like moisture content, ash content, total soluble solid content, pH, acidity as citric acid, total plate count, yeast and mold count, preservative (Sulphur dioxide and Sodium benzoate) content and heavy metal (As, Pb, Cu, Zn and Sn) content were analyzed. Heavy metal content in every sample was below the detection level. Microbial load was in safe level according to gulf standard. However, preservative content in few samples was quite higher than acceptable limit. Other parameters of collected samples were in acceptable limits. Sensory evaluation showed that all commercial jam and juice samples were more or less equally acceptable and all products obtained satisfactory total score from sensory evaluation.

description: What can the study of classic examples of Swiss commons systems bring us with regard to a critique of the anthropology of the study of commons systems in transition? This article addresses the topic by examining the institutional, economic and social changes in old Swiss community property institutions and described as sustainable in Ostrom’s work. After the decline in the value of common-pool resources as a result of industrialisation and the subsequent structural neoliberal market changes and state subsidies, Swiss commoners are under pressure that is not taken into account by Ostrom because she does not address questions of power. While in the past, Swiss commoners’ organisations were always the result of economic and political interconnections and entanglements with external feudal forces, they now have to deal with their reduced bargaining power in relation to market and state pressures as agricultural resources have lost value and the state’s power has increased due to the payment of subsidies. Two case studies (Korporation Uri and Patriziato Olivone) show that power, understood as bargaining power, combined with questions of identity and non-naturalist ontology, make the difference in how successfully the organisation of old commoners can deal with the neoliberal capitalist pressures of ‘uncommoning’ processes. The article highlights bargaining power, identity and ontology as critical themes that have been overlooked in the anthropological literature on the commons, and shows what can be gained from examining the transformation of old commoners’ systems in Switzerland in new debates on commons and commoning.

description: Detecting prohibited items in X-ray security imagery is pivotal in maintaining border and transport security against a wide range of threat profiles. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with the support of a significant volume of data have brought advancement in such automated prohibited object detection and classification. However, collating such large volumes of X-ray security imagery remains a significant challenge. This work opens up the possibility of using synthetically composed imagery, avoiding the need to collate such large volumes of hand-annotated real-world imagery. Here we investigate the difference in detection performance achieved using real and synthetic X-ray training imagery for CNN architecture detecting three exemplar prohibited items, {Firearm, Firearm Parts, Knives}, within cluttered and complex X-ray security baggage imagery. We achieve 0.88 of mean average precision (mAP) with a Faster R-CNN and ResNet-101 CNN architecture for this 3-class object detection using real X-ray imagery. While the performance is comparable with synthetically composited X-ray imagery (0.78 mAP), our extended evaluation demonstrates both challenge and promise of using synthetically composed images to diversify the X-ray security training imagery for automated detection algorithm training.

description: Spectral imaging is a new technique that combines conventional imaging and spectroscopy in a single system to obtain both spatial and spectral information simultaneously from an object. In this study, potential of hyperspectral imaging in the spectral range of 910-1700 nm was investigated for detecting adulteration in minced lamb meat. Spectral data were extracted to develop a partial least squares regression (PLSR) model to predict the level of adulteration in minced lamb. Good prediction model was obtained using the whole spectral range with a coefficient of determination (R2 CV) of 0.97 and root-mean-square errors estimated by cross validation (RMSECV) of 1.80%. Successive projection algorithm (SPA) was employed for optimal waveband selection. The PLSR model using only 7 optimum wavelengths (930, 1067, 1396, 1460, 1658, 1668, and 1702 nm) resulted in a coefficient of determination (R2 CV) of 0.97 and RMSECV of 1.84%. The study demonstrated the ability of the hyperspectral imaging as a rapid and alternative to the time-consuming and conventional methods to detect adulteration in minced lamb meat

description: We give necessary and sufficient conditions for weak and strong embeddability of amalgams in each subvariety of the category of all nilpotent groups of class at most two; this generalizes B. Maier's result for the latter class. We also discuss dominions (in the sense of Isbell), and characterize the weak, strong, and special amalgamation bases for each subvariety, contrasting the resulting classes with one another.

description: The spontaneous symmetry breaking taking place in the direction perpendicular to the energy flux in a dilute vibrofluidized granular system is investigated, using both a hydrodynamic description and simulation methods. The latter include molecular dynamics and direct Monte Carlo simulation of the Boltzmann equation. A marginal stability analysis of the hydrodynamic equations, carried out in the WKB approximation, is shown to be in good agreement with the simulation results. The shape of the hydrodynamic profiles beyond the bifurcation is discussed.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach, inwiefern queer-feministische Film-Pornografie aufklärerisches und ermächtigendes Potenzial für trans* Personen besitzt. Bislang gibt es nur wenige Forschungsergebnisse zur positiven Wirkung von Pornografienutzung, weshalb hier Bedarf an wissenschaftlicher Untersuchung besteht. Perspektiven von trans* Personen in der Forschung stark unterrepräsentiert. Aus diesem Grund entsteht diese Forschungsarbeit mit dem Ziel der Solidarisierung mit und Sichtbarmachung von trans* Perspektiven. Es soll ein Beitrag zur Schließung der beschriebenen Forschungslücken geleistet werden. Zunächst erfolgt eine theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema in Form eines Literaturstudiums. Es werden Defintionsansätze zum Pornografie-Begriff aufgezeigt. Anschließend werden die Lebenswelten von trans* Personen in Bezug auf gesellschaftliche Unterdrückungsmechanismen sowie die mediale Darstellung von trans* Personen thematisiert. Im weiteren Verlauf werden einzelne Aspekte queer-feministischer Pornografie genauer betrachtet und auf mögliche Kritikpunkte sowie Potenziale für trans* Personen untersucht. Hierfür werden Perspektiven aus dem Bereich der Philosophie, Queer Theory, Gender Studies, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften und von Akteur*innen aus der feministischen Pornoszene einbezogen. Zuletzt werden mithilfe von zwei Interviews Perspektiven von trans* Personen in Bezug auf ihre Erfahrungen mit queer-feministischer Film-Pornografie in die Arbeit einfließen.
Entanglement-breaking superchannels

description: In this paper we initiate the study of entanglement-breaking (EB) superchannels. These are processes that always yield separable maps when acting on one side of a bipartite completely positive (CP) map. EB superchannels are a generalization of the well-known EB channels. We give several equivalent characterizations of EB supermaps and superchannels. Unlike its channel counterpart, we find that not every EB superchannel can be implemented as a measure-and-prepare superchannel. We also demonstrate that many EB superchannels can be superactivated, in the sense that they can output non-separable channels when wired in series. We then introduce the notions of CPTP- and CP-complete images of a superchannel, which capture deterministic and probabilistic channel convertibility, respectively. This allows us to characterize the power of EB superchannels for generating CP maps in different scenarios, and it reveals some fundamental differences between channels and superchannels. Finally, we relax the definition of separable channels to include (p,q)-non-entangling channels, which are bipartite channels that cannot generate entanglement using p- and q-dimensional ancillary systems. By introducing and investigating k-EB maps, we construct examples of (p,q)-EB superchannels that are not fully entanglement breaking. Partial results on the characterization of (p,q)-EB superchannels are also provided.

description: Lasioglossum (Dialictus) ceanothi (Mitchell)
 Dialictus ceanothi Mitchell, 1960: 386. ♀.
 Holotype. ♀ USA, North Carolina, Wayne Co. 15.vi.1955 on Ceanothus americanus, (H. V. Weems, Jr.); [FSCA]. Examined.
 Taxonomy. Krombein, 1967: Lasioglossum (Dialictus) ceanothi, p. 463 (catalogue); Hurd, 1979: Dialictus ceanothi, p. 1965 (catalogue); Moure & Hurd, 1987: Dialictus ceanothi, p. 94 (catalogue).
 Diagnosis. Most similar to L. foveolatum. See diagnosis for that species.
 Comments. Rare. Unsubstantiated records of this species have been reported from Ontario and Nova Scotia (Ascher & Pickering 2010). Specimens from the latter locality identified as L. ceanothi have been examined and were misidentifications. No reliable Canadian records are known and this species has been excluded from the key and descriptions. This species would run to L. zophops in the key to females but can be distinguished by the coarse mesoscutal punctures and very weak oblique propodeal carina.

description: Fruits and vegetables belong to an essential class of foods that supply human diet with nutritive requirements including vitamins and minerals which are essential for normal body health and function. The study was carried out to determine the physico-chemical analysis and sensory qualities of mixed fruit squash. Carrot (Drocus carota), papaya (Carica papaya) and banana (Musa sapientum) juice were standardized to produce mixed squash which was stored for 9 weeks in sterilized glass bottles at room temperature. Marginal changes in pH, total soluble solids, acidity and vitamin C were observed. Estimation of vitamin C content (6.32 – 15.45 mg) of mixed squash showed high improvement in nutritional value of papaya juice incorporated with carrot and banana juice in squash. TSS (40.0 to 41.6) increased with gradual passage of storage time, which might be due to hydrolysis of polysaccharides into monosaccharide and oligosaccharides. The titratable acidity (1.25% to 2.97%) increased and pH (5.01 to 3.87) decreased progressively during the storage period might be due to the excessive fermentation and presence of lactic acid reducing micro- organism. The mean overall acceptability scores of more than 8 for mixed squash prepared up to 40% carrot juice incorporation with 40% papaya and 20% banana juice indicated the commercial scope for manufacturing good and nutritious squash from carrot, papaya and banana juice. However, the shelf life of mixed squash was established within 8 weeks. The product is recommended for children, youth and elderly persons to be used within 8 weeks.
Multi-frame blind deconvolution with linear equality constraints

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: The Phase Diverse Speckle (PDS) problem is formulated mathematically as Multi Frame Blind Deconvolution (MFBD) together with a set of Linear Equality Constraints (LECs) on the wavefront expansion parameters. This MFBD-LEC formulation is quite general and, in addition to PDS, it allows the same code to handle a variety of different data collection schemes specified as data, the LECs, rather than in the code. It also relieves us from having to derive new expressions for the gradient of the wavefront parameter vector for each type of data set. The idea is first presented with a simple formulation that accommodates Phase Diversity, Phase Diverse Speckle, and Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing. Then various generalizations are discussed, that allows many other types of data sets to be handled.

description: The objective of this paper is to analyze household's food consumption behaviour in Argentina by comparing two cross sectional estimations of a quadratic demand system (QES). WE employ data from the National Expenditure Survey at household level (2004-05 and 2012-2013). The estimated system is augmented with demographical variables in order to examine changes across different household types. We estimate quality adjusted prices and we account for any selectivity bias in our data. Additionally, we propose an exercise that consists on calculating equivalence scales frome stiamted expenditures for each household type. Results allow us to analyze and discuss welfare changes over the last decade. In particuluar, changes in food consumption are led by alterations in relative prices; inflation process unequally affects consumption of food categories for different types of households, implying that households' budget is being reallocated.
