description: Chickpea is one of the major pulse crops produced for home consumption and income sources. Its productivity is low due to low attention on chickpea production improvement technologies. This study examined chickpea farming system and its production status in wheat-based farming system areas. The purposes of the study were to evaluate the farming system of chickpea, to identify the determinant factors on chickpea technology adoption, and to assess the importance of chickpea in the study area. Both primary and secondary data were used for the study. The primary data were obtained from a total of 230 randomly selected rural farmers in Ensaro district. Descriptive statistics and complementary log-log methods were used to assess the farming system and the adoption status of the improved varieties. Chick pea is one of the major crops produced and farmers allocated their farm for chickpea production and grow both local and improved varieties. Neighbor farmers, the district office of agriculture and Debre Birhan agricultural research center were the main sources of improved seeds. Chickpea producers obtained more grain yield and farm benefits and better position in household income and expenditure than the non-grower farmers. Farmers who used improved chickpea varieties gained more gross margins from chickpea compared with their counterparts. Farmers near to market, better contact with extension and access to agriculture-related trainings used improved chickpea production technologies. Chickpea contributed for availability of food, income and gross field benefits improvement for the grower farmers. The improved varieties provide more grain yield than the local. Strengthen extension farmers linkage and improve market access contribute for the improvements of chickpea production and rural household income in chickpea growing areas.

description: This study was conducted to review the published literature on work related
musculoskeletal disorders in dentists in order to know various measurement tools used, ergonomic risk factors and other findings. Methodology: A systematic review was done using MEDLINE by the keywords “dentists”, “ergonomics” and “musculoskeletal disorders”. Study design, type of data collection, assessment tools and outcomes obtained in the respective study were noted. Results: Among various specialities, dentists specialised in Prosthodontics were found to have a higher prevalence of work related musculoskeletal disorders. The design of the dentist chair was found to be the major risk factor and studies focusing on designing an appropriately designed ergonomic dentist chair provided positive results. Percentage of pain among dentists increases with increase in their working duration.

Summer travel season is upon us, with all the joys and travails that come with spending a perfectly fine vacation day stuck in an airport somewhere. Nevertheless, travel is fun and has plenty of positive sides to it. They range from increased cultural understanding to helping otherwise marginalized regions of the world get a slice of the global vacationer’s (or business traveler’s) pie.

Quantum Symmetries and Conserved Charges of the Cosmological Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Model

description: We discuss both the off-shell nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry transformations for the cosmological Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) model with a differential gauge condition in the extended phase space. In this discussion, the presence of anti-BRST symmetry provides the complete geometrical description of BRST within the ambit of the supervariable approach. We derive the conserved (anti-)BRST charges for the FRW model using the celebrated Noether theorem and show the nilpotency and absolute anti-commutativity properties of these conserved charges within the realm of BRST formalism. Finally, we prove the sanctity of (anti-)BRST symmetries through the derivation of these symmetry transformations within the framework of the (anti-)chiral supervariable approach (ACSA) to BRST formalism.

Non-thermal emission from mildly relativistic dynamical ejecta of neutron star mergers

description: Binary neutron star mergers are expected to produce fast dynamical ejecta, with mildly relativistic velocities extending to $β=v/c>0.6$. We consider the radio to X-ray synchrotron emission produced by collisionless shocks driven by such fast ejecta into the interstellar medium. Analytic expressions are given for spherical ejecta with broken power-law mass (or energy) distributions, $M(>γβ)\propto(γβ)^{-s}$ with $s=s_{\rm KN}$ at $γβ<γ_0β_0$ and $s=s_{\rm ft}$ at $γβ>γ_0β_0$ (where $γ$ is the Lorentz factor). For parameter values characteristic of merger calculation results -- a "shallow" mass distribution, $15$, "fast tail" mass distribution -- our model provides an accurate (to 10's of percent) description of the evolution of the flux, including at the phase of deceleration to sub-relativistic expansion. This is a significant improvement over earlier results, based on extrapolations of results valid for $γβ\gg1$ or $\ll1$ to $γβ\approx1$, which overestimate the flux by an order of magnitude for typical parameter values. It will enable a more reliable inference of ejecta parameters from future measurements of the non-thermal emission. For the merger event GW170817, the existence of a "fast tail" is expected to produce detectable radio and X-ray fluxes over a time scale of $\sim10^4$days.

description: Global warming is happening faster and with more intensity than anyone expected, yet the fossil-fueled right has succeeded in removing the issue almost entirely from the agenda through a false pretense of defending “free markets.” In response, environmentalists have tended to retreat further into their own organically padded corners, when what’s needed is to get back to economic basics: Markets cannot be free when benefits are privatized and enormous costs are being socialized. The only way out of this environmental crisis is to align citizens’ economic self-interest with the planet’s health.

description: Dependencies in the global food production network can lead to shortages in numerous regions, as demonstrated by the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on global food supplies. Here, we reveal the losses of $125$ food products after a localized shock to agricultural production in $192$ countries and territories using a multilayer network model of trade (direct) and conversion of food products (indirect), thereby quantifying $10^8$ shock transmissions. We find that a complete agricultural production loss in Ukraine has heterogeneous impacts on other countries, causing relative losses of up to $89\%$ in sunflower oil and $85\%$ in maize via direct effects, and up to $25\%$ in poultry meat via indirect impacts. Whilst previous studies often treated products in isolation and did not account for product conversion during production, our model studies the global propagation of local supply shocks along both production and trade relations, allowing comparison of different response strategies.

description: Indoor Positioning based on Machine Learning has drawn increasing attention both in the academy and the industry as meaningful information from the reference data can be extracted. Many researchers are using supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised Machine Learning models to reduce the positioning error and offer reliable solutions to the end-users. In this article, we propose a new architecture by combining Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long short-term memory (LSTM) and Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) in order to increase the training data and thus improve the position accuracy. The proposed combination of supervised and unsupervised models was tested in 17 public datasets, providing an extensive analysis of its performance. As a result, the positioning error has been reduced in more than 70% of them.

description: Money makes the world go ‘round. Like it or not, our values and priorities have made this true. It is also no doubt true that free markets, left to themselves, are destroying our environment. We are eating endangered species from depleted seas while cooking the planet under a blanket of greenhouse gases. It is no longer a question of whether New York City will be under water if we don’t turn things around. It is a question of when.

The forces are larger than any of us can directly influence, however much we like to think that by eating tofu and taking public transport we can make a difference at the necessary scale. Rather, we need to guide the collective power of billions to make the economic pie bigger for all of us without wrecking the planet.

Several light quark masses are examined in order to yield a controlled extrapolation to the physical pion mass. We analyse ensembles for three different lattice spacings and several volumes in order to investigate lattice artefacts and finite-size effects, respectively. We also provide preliminary results for this quantity for two flavours of mass-degenerate quarks at the physical value of the pion mass.

description: Human activity is leading to changes in the mean and variability of climatic parameters in most locations around the world. The changing mean has received considerable attention from scientists and climate policy makers. However, recent work indicates that the changing variability, that is, the amplitude and the temporal autocorrelation of deviations from the mean, may have greater and more imminent impact on ecosystems. In this paper, we demonstrate that changes in climate variability alone could drive cyclic predator-prey ecosystems to extinction via so-called phase tipping (P-tipping), a new type of instability that occurs only from certain phases of the predator-prey cycle. We construct a mathematical model of a variable climate and couple it to two self-oscillating paradigmatic predator-prey models. Most importantly, we combine realistic parameter values for the Canada lynx and snowshoe hare with actual climate data from the boreal forest. In this way, we demonstrate that critically important species in the boreal forest have increased likelihood of P-tipping to extinction under predicted changes in climate variability, and are most vulnerable during stages of the cycle when the predator population is near its maximum. Furthermore, our analysis reveals that stochastic resonance is the underlying mechanism for the increased likelihood of P-tipping to extinction.

description: We experimentally investigate electron transport through the interface between a permalloy ferromagnet and the edge of a two-dimensional electron system with strong Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling. We observe strongly non-linear transport around zero bias at millikelvin temperatures. The observed nonlinearity is fully suppressed above some critical values of temperature, magnetic field, and current through the interface. We interpret this behavior as the result of spin accumulation at the interface and its current-induced absorption as a magnetization torque.

Tunnel magnetoresistance in organic spin valves in the regime of multi-step tunneling

description: A model of a spin valve in which electron transport between the magnetized electrodes is due to multistep tunneling is analyzed. Motivated by recent experiments on organic spin valves, we assume that spin memory loss in the course of transport is due to random hyperfine fields acting on electron while it waits for the next tunneling step. Amazingly, we identify the three-step configurations of sites, for which the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) is negative, suggesting that the resistance for antiparallel magnetizations of the electrodes is smaller than for parallel magnetizations. We analyze the phase volume of these configurations with respect to magnitudes and relative orientations of the on-site hyperfine fields. The effect of sign reversal of TMR is exclusively due to interference of the spin-flip amplitudes on each site, it does not emerge within commonly accepted probabilistic description of spin transport. Another feature specific to multistep inelastic tunneling is bouncing of electron between nearest neighbors while awaiting a "hard" hop. We demonstrate that this bouncing, being absolutely insignificant for conduction of current, can strongly affect the spin memory loss. This effect is also of interference origin.

description: Background: Retinoblastoma is caused by loss of the Rb protein in early retinal cells. Although numerous Rb functions have been identified, Rb effects that specifically relate to the suppression of retinoblastoma have not been defined. Results: In this study, we examined the effects of restoring Rb to Y79 retinoblastoma cells, using novel retroviral and lentiviral vectors that co-express green fluorescent protein (GFP). The lentiviral vector permitted transduction with sufficient efficiency to perform biochemical analyses. Wild type Rb (Rb^(WT)) and to a lesser extent the low penetrance mutant Rb^(661W) induced a G0/G1 arrest associated with induction of p27^(KIP1) and repression of cyclin E1 and cyclin E2. Microarray analyses revealed that in addition to down-regulating E2F-responsive genes, Rb repressed expression of Brn-2 (POU3F2), which is implicated as an important transcriptional regulator in retinal progenitor cells and other neuroendocrine cell types. The repression of Brn-2 was a specific Rb effect, as ectopic p27 induced a G0/G1 block, but enhanced, rather than repressed, Brn-2 expression. Conclusion: In addition to Rb effects that occur in many cell types, Rb regulates a gene that selectively governs the behavior of late retinal progenitors and related cells.

description: Isoprene and its oxidation products are major players in the oxidative chemistry of the troposphere. Current understanding of the factors controlling biogenic isoprene emissions and of the fate of isoprene oxidation products in the atmosphere has been evolving rapidly. We use a climate–biosphere–chemistry modeling framework to evaluate the sensitivity of estimates of the tropospheric oxidative capacity to uncertainties in isoprene emissions and photochemistry. Our work focuses on two climate transitions: from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 19 000–23 000 years BP) to the preindustrial (1770s) and from the preindustrial to the present day (1990s). We find that different oxidants have different sensitivities to the uncertainties tested in this study. Ozone is relatively insensitive, whereas OH is the most sensitive: changes in the global mean OH levels for the LGM-to-preindustrial transition range between −29 and +7 % and those for the preindustrial-to-present-day transition range between −8 and +17 % across our simulations. We find little variability in the implied relative LGM–preindustrial difference in methane emissions with respect to the uncertainties tested in this study. Conversely, estimates of the preindustrial-to-present-day and LGM-to-preindustrial changes in the global burden of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) are highly sensitive. We show that the linear relationship between tropospheric mean OH and tropospheric mean ozone photolysis rates, water vapor, and total emissions of NOx and reactive carbon – first reported in Murray et al. (2014) – does not hold across all periods with the new isoprene photochemistry mechanism. This study demonstrates how inadequacies in our current understanding of isoprene emissions and photochemistry impede our ability to constrain the oxidative capacities of the present and past atmospheres, its controlling factors, and the radiative forcing of some short-lived species such as SOA over time.

description: Spatiotemporal prediction of crime is crucial for public safety and smart cities operation. As crime incidents are distributed sparsely across space and time, existing deep-learning methods constrained by coarse spatial scale offer only limited values in prediction of crime density. This paper proposes the use of deep inception-residual networks (DIRNet) to conduct fine-grained, theft-related crime prediction based on non-emergency service request data (311 events). Specifically, it outlines the employment of inception units comprising asymmetrical convolution layers to draw low-level spatiotemporal dependencies hidden in crime events and complaint records in the 311 dataset. Afterward, this paper details how residual units can be applied to capture high-level spatiotemporal features from low-level spatiotemporal dependencies for the final prediction. The effectiveness of the proposed DIRNet is evaluated based on theft-related crime data and 311 data in New York City from 2010 to 2015. The results confirm that the DIRNet obtains an average F1 of 71%, which is better than other prediction models.

description: We propose and theoretically investigate an alternative way to create the poor man's Majorana bound states (MBSs) introduced in Phys. Rev. B 86, 134528 (2012). Our proposal is based on two quantum dots (QDs) with strong electron-electron interactions that couple via a central QD with proximity-induced superconductivity. In the presence of spin-orbit coupling and a magnetic field, gate control of all three QDs allows tuning the system into sweet spots with one MBS localized on each outer dot. We quantify the quality of these MBSs and show how it depends on the Zeeman energy and interaction strength. We also show how nonlocal transport spectroscopy can be used to identify sweet spots with high MBS quality. Our results provide a path for investigating MBS physics in a setting that is free of many of the doubts and uncertainties that plague other platforms.

description: Jervis reviews Christopher Andrew and David Dilks, eds. The Missing Dimension: Govern- ments and Intelligence Communities in the Twentieth Century and Ernest R. May, ed. Knowing One's Enemies: Intelligence Assessment Before the Two World Wars. He introduces his review with the following definitions and clarifications. General Eisenhower pointed out that the U.S. Army treated intelligence as a "stepchild."1 This characterization applied to most countries, at least until the development of surveillance satellites and other technological marvels. Within the military, intelligence has been the "slow track"; aside from a few mavericks, officers were generally shunted into the area when they were deemed unfit for more important tasks. This is not surprising: the job of the military is to fight, and so positions that directly represent this function will have the greatest pres- tige. Foreign ministries, of course, carry out diplomacy, and so one might think that they would value intelligence more highly because of its closer links to this mission. But most diplomats have prided themselves on being generalists and have tended to believe, often correctly, that they can under- stand other countries better than can specialized intelligence officers

description: In the context of the left-right twin Higgs (LRTH) model, we first examine the effects on the $Zt\bar t$ production at the ILC and LHC. Our results show that the cross-sections can be significantly deviated from the standard model predictions and thus provide a good probe for the LRTH model. We also estimate the new production channel, $Zt\bar T $ or $Z\bar t T $ production, at the LHC. Compared with $Zt \bar t$ production, we find that the $Z t \bar T$ production can have a sizable production rate when the scale $f$ is not too high. Considering the dominant decay mode $T\rightarrow ϕ^{+}b\rightarrow tb\bar b$, we find that $Z t\bar T $ final state has less background than $Zt\bar t$ production and may likely be observable at the LHC.

description: Climate change driven increases in the frequency of extreme heat events (EHE) and extreme precipitation events (EPE) are contributing to both infectious and non-infectious disease burden, particularly in urban city centers. While the share of urban populations continues to grow, a comprehensive assessment of populations impacted by these threats is lacking. Using data from weather stations, climate models, and urban population growth during 1980–2017, here, we show that the concurrent rise in the frequency of EHE, EPE, and urban populations has resulted in over 500% increases in individuals exposed to EHE and EPE in the 150 most populated cities of the world. Since most of the population increases over the next several decades are projected to take place in city centers within low- and middle-income countries, skillful early warnings and community specific response strategies are urgently needed to minimize public health impacts and associated costs to the global economy.

description: Automatic differentiation is an invaluable feature of machine learning and quantum machine learning software libraries. In this work it is shown how quantum automatic differentiation can be used to solve the condensed-matter problem of computing fidelity susceptibility, a quantity whose value may be indicative of a phase transition in a system. Results are presented using simulations including hardware noise for small instances of the transverse-field Ising model, and a number of optimizations that can be applied are highlighted. Error mitigation (zero-noise extrapolation) is applied within the autodifferentiation framework to a number of gradient values required for computation of fidelity susceptibility and a related quantity, the second derivative of the energy. Such computations are found to be highly sensitive to the additional statistical noise incurred by the error mitigation method

description: We numerically study the distributions of global pressure that are found in ensembles of statically jammed and quasistatically sheared systems of bidisperse, frictionless, disks at fixed packing fraction $ϕ$ in two dimensions. We use these distributions to address the question of how pressure increases as $ϕ$ increases above the jamming point $ϕ_J$, $p\sim |ϕ- ϕ_J|^y$. For statically jammed ensembles, our results are consistent with the exponent $y$ being simply related to the power law of the interparticle soft-core interaction. For sheared systems, however, the value of $y$ is consistent with a non-trivial value, as found previously in rheological simulations.

spotted-wing drosophila

description: Spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), a vinegar fly of Asian origin, has emerged as a devastating pest of small and stone fruits throughout the United States. Tolerance for larvae is extremely low in fresh market fruit, and management is primarily achieved through repeated applications of broad-spectrum insecticides. These applications are neither economically nor environmentally sustainable, and can limit markets due to insecticide residue restrictions, cause outbreaks of secondary pests, and select for insecticide resistance. Sustainable integrated pest management programs include cultural control tactics and various nonchemical approaches for reducing pest populations that may be useful for managing D. suzukii. This review describes the current state of knowledge and implementation for different cultural controls including preventative tactics such as crop selection and exclusion as well as strategies to reduce habitat favorability (pruning; mulching; irrigation), alter resource availability (harvest frequency; sanitation), and lower suitability of fruit postharvest (cooling; irradiation). Because climate, horticultural practices, crop, and market underlie the efficacy, feasibility, and affordability of cultural control tactics, the potential of these tactics for D. suzukii management is discussed across different production systems.
Signatures of Quantum Gravity in the Gravitational Self-Interaction of Photons

description: We propose relativistic tests of quantum gravity using the gravitational self-interaction of photons in a cavity. We demonstrate that this interaction results in a number of quantum gravitational signatures in the quantum state of the light that cannot be reproduced by any classical theory of gravity. We rigorously assess these effects using quantum parameter estimation theory, and discuss simple measurement schemes that optimally extract their signatures. Crucially, the proposed tests are free of QED photon-photon scattering, are sensitive to the spin of the mediating gravitons, and can probe the locality of the gravitational interaction. These protocols provide a new avenue for studying the quantum nature of gravity in a relativistic setting.
Le valenze tangibili e intangibili dei management control systems: il caso di un'azienda familiare di costruzioni

description: Purpose: Recently we observe an increase in management accounting (MA) and control studies which investigate institutional, strategic and organizational interdependences of MA systems and their role in internal routines. This trend increases academic opportunities to foster ideas according to international and contemporary scenarios. These in depth connections focus the debate on management accounting change and culture of control themes, adopting positivist and interpretive approaches. Through the exploration of these papers we get evidence on interpretive studies which contribute to surface how these forces influence organizational culture and management accounting and control practices. Some authors suggest to focus the analysis on bidirectional influence of MA systems: (i) how MA systems contribute to change organizations and (ii) how MA systems are designed, implemented and used according to institutional or market or governance requirements. Despite some previous literature, the purpose of this dissertation is the comprehension of "How external and internal forces affect the design, implementation and use of management control systems in an Italian family construction business". We explore in detail how these influences have been reconciled from internal actors (with distinction between family, non-family members and management) and how this change faces external context, internal learning and power relations. Design/Methodology/Approach: According to interpretive approach based on New Institutional Theory we conduct a 3-year longitudinal study through action research in an Italian family construction business. We collect, analyse and interpret multiple source of data: n. 38 main documents, n. 85 interviews, n. 78 observations and n. 5 formal meetings. Findings: this dissertation advances contributions on: (i) how theorise the agreement between institutional and market forces in New Institutional Sociology; (ii) the pro-active and mediator role of management and professionals during the change process; (iii) the change of dominant culture after the introduction of the new MA and control system. Originality/Value: (i) family governance features on MA studies, (ii) organisational and power relations, (iii) budgeting features according to construction business, (iv) methodology adopted.

description: While examining the several descriptions available for “Sustainable Development”, the common element is that development of the world resources which satisfy human current needs in different ways without forfeiting the ability to meet the needs of coming generations. Global sustainability has become a multifaceted, operational term elucidating the social and cultural, environmental, economic and governance dimensions in analysis, policy designing and execution throughout the globe. Companies, Government and Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) are looking for new concepts and methods to operate so that true development happens to the people at the Base of the Pyramid. Aglobal humanitarian and educational non-governmental organisation named International Association for Human Values (IAHV),which was established in 1997 in Geneva by H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, maintains special consultative status with the Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations and works with its sister organisation, the International Art of Living Foundation in five importantspheres concernedwith sustainable development via empowerment of people. This paper is an exploratory case study on the wide range of activities initiated by IAHV on empowering individuals to attain sustainable development solutions in progressing towards the knowledge economy.

description: We present the results of atomistic and ab initio simulation of several different tilt grain boundaries (GB) in silicon. The boundary structures obtained with genetic algorithm turned out to have no coordination defects, i.e. all silicon atoms restored their tetrahedral coordination during the structure optimisation. That concerns previously known symmetric Σ 5 (130), Σ 3 (211) and Σ 29 (520) boundaries as well as previously unknown asymmetric Σ 9 (-255)/(-211), Σ 3 (-255)/(211) and Σ 13 (790)/(3 11 0) structures. We have performed an extensive study of defect segregation on the boundaries, including neutral vacancy and carbon, phosphorus and boron impurities. A clear correlation between the segregation energy of the defect and local geometry of the boundary site where the defect is segregated has been revealed. We suggest a simple purely geometric model for evaluation of approximate segregation energies of the listed defects.
