description: We investigate the phase coherence of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate that undergoes a dynamical superfluid-insulator transition in the presence of a one-dimensional optical lattice. We study the evolution of the condensate after a sudden displacement of the harmonic trapping potential by solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, and comparing the results with the prediction of two effective 1D models. We show that, owing to the 3D nature of the system, the breakdown of the superfluid current above a critical displacement is not associated to a sharp transition, but there exists a range of displacements for which the condensate can recover a certain degree of coherence. We also discuss the implications on the interference pattern after the ballistic expansion as measured in recent experiments at LENS.

description: The thyroid gland is located in front of the neck, within the thyroid are small, spherical chambers called follicles. Cells line the walls of the follicles and produce thyroglobulin, the substance from which thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) are made. Thyroxine is usually produced in greater quantity than triiodothyronine, and most thyroxine is eventually converted to triiodothyronine. TH regulates the body's metabolic rate and production of heat. It also maintains blood pressure and promotes normal development and functioning of several organ systems. TH affects cellular metabolism by stimulating protein synthesis, the breakdown of lipids, and the use of glucose for production of ATP. Library Methodology used in this article is Library research, Directly and indirectly Researcher views are discussed. In addition; Research Instruments used in this research are: Fiche card, updated and authentic academic text-books, Journals and articles. answers were sought for the questions from various academic resources.

 Comments. This species was originally described based on three males from Hainan, as a member of the genus Pselaphodes. It is characterized primarily by the male antennomere 9 with an acute anteromedial triangular process, the long horn-like metaventral processes, and a broad median lobe of aedeagus in lateral view. Due to the presence of a distinct metaventral fovea between the metaventral processes, this species is here transferred from Pselaphodes to Labomimus. No distinct intraspecific variation has been detected between the populations of China and Vietnam.
 Distribution. China: Hainan; Vietnam: Hòa Bình (Y I N et al. 2012; this paper). First country record for Vietnam.

description: Generative models in deep learning allow for sampling probability distributions that approximate data distributions. We propose using generative models for making approximate statistical predictions in the string theory landscape. For vacua admitting a Lagrangian description this can be thought of as learning random tensor approximations of couplings. As a concrete proof-of-principle, we demonstrate in a large ensemble of Calabi-Yau manifolds that Kahler metrics evaluated at points in Kahler moduli space are well-approximated by ensembles of matrices produced by a deep convolutional Wasserstein GAN. Accurate approximations of the Kahler metric eigenspectra are achieved with far fewer than $h^{11}$ Gaussian draws. Accurate extrapolation to values of $h^{11}$ outside the training set are achieved via a conditional GAN. Together, these results implicitly suggest the existence of strong correlations in the data, as might be expected if Reid's fantasy is correct.

description: Grasslands cover a major share of the world s agricultural area and are important in global food security. Species diversity in grasslands is known to increase and stabilize biomass yields. In this paper, we valuate these effects of species diversity from an agro-economic perspective. We extend earlier research by accounting for species diversity effects on nutrient content and nutrient yield and we use a rich dataset from 16 intensively managed grassland sites across Europe. Combining this information, we focus on milk production potential and potential revenues from milk production. The results show a higher potential milk production, thus, higher revenues with higher species diversity. We also report reduced production risk in more diverse grasslands because of lower variance of nutrient yield. Further, we find considerable gains in certainty equivalent as the expected value and total insurance value increase with species diversity. These findings are supported using tests based on stochastic dominance analysis. Furthermore, we also find a positive diversity effect when the best performing monocultures are compared with all and best performing mixtures. Overall, we find that farmers economically benefit from higher species diversity and our results facilitate decision making to sustainably intensify grassland based production.

description: Context : Scotland has some of the highest rates of obesity in Europe. It also has a diet high in calorie-dense food mainly purchased in supermarkets. Objective: This paper investigates the role of supermarket promotions on consumption of healthy/ unhealthy food in Scotland using Kantar Worldpanel data recording weekly purchases of over 3,000 households over ten-year period (2006-2015). Design: This study combines three large datasets to address important questions relating to the effect of supermarketpromotions on purchases among socioeconomic classifications of food consumers.The food consumption data are combined with socioeconomic characteristics of households obtained from the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation and the UK FSA Nutrient Profiling to assess the impact of promotions on purchases of healthy/ unhealthy food. Subsequent analysis will be undertaken to apply the approach to the consumption of all food. Results: The preliminary results are presented from an on-going study and show that the consumption of breakfast cereals is less healthy in 2015 compared to 2006. A decrease in full price purchases and an increase in promotion type price reduction has been found across all SIMD groups. Conclusion: The results after a regression will give implication on how the purchases of healthy/ unhealthy foods are influenced through promotion types in supermarkets.

description: Photo-switching the physical properties of molecular systems opens large possibilities for driving materials far from equilibrium toward new states. Moreover, ultra-short pulses of light make it possible to induce and to record photo-switching on a very short time-scale, opening the way to fascinating new functionalities. Among molecular materials, Fe(II) complexes exhibit an ultrafast spin-state transition during which the spin state of the complex switches from a low spin state (LS, S=0) to a high spin state (HS, S=2). The latter process is remarkable: it takes place within ~100 fs with a quantum efficiency of ~100%. Moreover, the spin state switching induces an important shift of the broad metal to ligand absorption band of the complex and it results in large modifications of the physical and chemical properties of the compounds. But, because most of the Fe(II) complexes crystallize in centrosymmetric space groups, this prevents them from exhibiting piezoelectric, ferroelectric as well as second-order nonlinear optical properties such as second harmonic generation (SHG). This considerably limits their potential applications. We have recently synthesized [Fe(phen)3] [$Δ$-As2(tartrate)2] chiral complexes that crystallize in a noncentrosymmetric 32 space group. Hereafter, upon the excitation of a thin film of these complexes by a femtosecond laser pulse and performing simultaneously transient absorption (TRA) and time-resolved SHG (TRSH) measurements, we have recorded the ultrafast LS to HS switching. Whereas a single TRA measurement only gives partial information, we demonstrate that TRSH readily reveals the different mechanisms in play during the HS to LS state relaxation. Moreover, a simple model makes it possible to evaluate the relaxation times as well as the hyperpolarizabilities of the different excited states through which the system travels during the spin-state transition

description: Integrating the services of pollinating insects to proliferate fruits is imperative to suffice the multi-faceted uses of jatropha fruits for biofuel, feeds, bio-fertilizer and cosmetics. The role of Apiary Pen Proximity (APP) technology on J. curcas fruiting performance is yet to get empirical research attention. The proximity of Unilorin Apiary Pen (UAP) to Unilorin Jatropha Farms becomes a good area of focus to observe the resultant xenogeny behaviour of honey bees in J. curcas flowering plants. Applying Double Difference (DD) approach to site-based counterfactual model, the study reveals that entomophilous pollination through APP has promoted fruits formation of jatropha plants. The study therefore, suggests that placing apiary pen closed to fruit farms as well as using jatropha as a recovery alternative to amending drought-affecting soils are critical for sustainable fruits production.

description: The He I infrared (IR) triplet at 10830 AA is an important activity indicator for the Sun and in solar-type stars, however, it has rarely been studied in relation to M dwarfs to date. In this study, we use the time-averaged spectra of 319 single stars with spectral types ranging from M0.0 V to M9.0 V obtained with the CARMENES high resolution optical and near-infrared spectrograph at Calar Alto to study the properties of the He I IR triplet lines. In quiescence, we find the triplet in absorption with a decrease of the measured pseudo equivalent width (pEW) towards later sub-types. For stars later than M5.0 V, the He I triplet becomes undetectable in our study. This dependence on effective temperature may be related to a change in chromospheric conditions along the M dwarf sequence. When an emission in the triplet is observed, we attribute it to flaring. The absence of emission during quiescence is consistent with line formation by photo-ionisation and recombination, while flare emission may be caused by collisions within dense material. The He I triplet tends to increase in depth according to increasing activity levels, ultimately becoming filled in; however, we do not find a correlation between the pEW(He IR) and X-ray properties. This behaviour may be attributed to the absence of very inactive stars ($L_{\rm X}/L_{\rm bol}$ < -5.5) in our sample or to the complex behaviour with regard to increasing depth and filling in.

description: We calculate the decay distributions for inclusive B -> X_s gamma and B -> X_u l nu decays in the endpoint region, where radiative corrections are large. The computation is done using effective field theory methods. The matching coefficients are computed to O(alpha_s), and the anomalous dimensions to next-to-leading order. The final expressions for the differential decay spectra include the complete O(alpha_s) corrections, and sum the leading and next-to-leading Sudakov series. We present results for regions of phase space where the shape function can be expanded in local operators, and give the matching coefficients of the resulting enhanced non-perturbative effects to order alpha_s. We show that moments of the shape function {\it are not} given by moments of local operators once perturbative effects are included, explain why the shape function and its moments satisfy different renormalization group equations, and contrast this with the situation for deep inelastic scattering. We show that there are large perturbative corrections in the usual definition of the shape function. This renders incorrect previous prescriptions for combining radiative corrections with the shape function.

The combination of both nanolithography methods allows to fabricate robust in-plane gates and Cr/Au top gate electrodes on the same device for optimal controllability. This is illustrated by the tunability of the interdot coupling in our device. We describe our fabrication and alignment scheme in detail and demonstrate the tunability in low-temperature transport measurements.

description: With household disposable income increase, the proportion of food away from home (FAFH) consumption rises rapidly in the total household food consumption. Consumer s plate waste has attracted increasing public, academic, and political attention in recent years. In order to understand the reason that cause plate clearly, this empirical study sheds light on the effect of preference for food variety and average portion size on the plate waste using survey data from 1340 tables of 161 restaurants in Beijing and Lhasa. The key finding suggests that income increase leads more preference for food variety when consumer dining out; and we verify that a consumer is more likely to waste food when variety preference increase by using dining reason as an instrument and average portion size of restaurant increase. Our result implys that the restaurant should reduce the average portion size of dish with residents' income increases, which can reduce the consumer s plate waste. This paper introduces the preference for food variety into the utility function, which makes the utility function of residents FAFH more perfect and more realistic, and we introduce an order decision into the analysis framework, which constitutes a two-step decision to plate waste.

description: We propose a model of suppression of large $p_T$-pions in heavy ion collisions based on the interaction of the large $p_T$ pion with the dense medium created in the collision. The model is practically the same as the one previously introduced to describe $J/ψ$ suppression. Both the $p_T$ and the centrality dependence of the data are reproduced. In deuteron-gold collisions, the effect of the final state interaction with the dense medium turns out to be negligibly small. Here the main features of the data are also reproduced both at mid and at forward rapidities.

Design: We analyzed the adrenal resections performed at a UK tertiary referral center (2009-2014), comprising tumor-like macronodular cortical hyperplasias (TL-ACNH, 8), adenomas (ACA, 8), and carcinomas (ACC, 12). These lesions were evaluated for the primary endocrine syndrome, tumor size, and conventional morphological evaluation including standard Weiss criteria. Microdissected samples from the peripheral and internal compartments were used for DNA extraction and next-generation sequencing using a 50-gene panel (Qiagen, Hiden, Germany). The mutational burden of each lesion was recorded, and the genetic abnormalities for each locus were categorized by genetic impact according to its severity (low/moderate/high/modifier) and allele frequency. Moderate/high mutated alleles with a frequency higher than 5% were subjected to statistical comparison by non-parametric analysis (Mann-Whitney U- test) and considered significant if P<0.05. Results: TL-ACNH presented with glucocorticoid excess (4) or combined gluco-mineralo-corticoid excess (4), ACA with glucocorticoid excess (6) or mineralocorticoid excess (2), and ACC with plurihormonal excess and mass effect (12). The mutational burden was significantly higher in ACC than the benign counterparts in both compartments: 45 vs. 31.25 and 30.75 for the internal, and 85 vs. 31 and 30 for the peripheral. The internal compartments revealed moderate/high mutations clustered at EGFR, ERBB2, PDGFRA, NRAS, RET, and STK11, NRAS and PDGFRA dominating benign lesion and STK11 predominating in ACC. The peripheral compartments showed differential mutational burden for CTNNB1, PKI3CA, and MET in the ACC only. Conclusions: Adrenocortical proliferative lesions reveal progressive accumulation of moderate/high mutations during tumor progression and mutational segregation by topographic compartments. Growth factor receptor mutations aggregate in the internal compartment, differentially driven by NRAS and PDGFRA in benign lesions, and additional disruptions at the receptor (PIK3CA and MET) and nuclear (CTNNB1) levels accumulate at the peripheral compartment of ACC.

description: This research study aims to analyze how physical activity – defined through movement – on campus green spaces (CGS) is associated with students’ subjective well-being. We hypothesized that students engaging in more physical activity in CGS will show higher positive affect and lower negative affect and stress scores. 217 participants completed our online survey, self-reporting their positive and negative affect, perceived stress, and time spent on CGS. This data allowed for the exploration of different levels of interaction by each student in CGS and how it relates to affectivity and stress. Using Pearson’s R correlation analysis, there was a positive correlation between positive affect and engagement in physical activity in CGS. There was a negative correlation between negative affect score, stress score, and time spent engaging in physical activity in CGS. However, the negative correlation was found as only marginally significant, indicating that a decreased amount of time spent in CGS may not directly contribute negatively to an individual's well-being. Through understanding the relationship between an individual's positive affect and time spent engaging in physical activity in CGS, we recommend that action is taken to have a greater diversity of engagement opportunities and increased awareness and accessibility to CGS.

description: Memristors can mimic the functions of biological synapse, where it can simultaneously store the synaptic weight and modulate the transmitted signal. Here, we report Nb/Nb2O5/Pt based memristors with bipolar resistive switching, exhibiting synapse like property of gradual and continuously change of conductance with subsequent voltage signals. Mimicking of basic functions of remembering and forgetting processes of biological brain were demonstrated through short term plasticity, spike rate dependent plasticity, paired pulse facilitation and post-titanic potentiation. The device layer interface tuning was shown to affect the device properties shift from digital to analog behaviour. Demonstration of basic synaptic functions in the NbOx based devices makes them suitable for neuromorphic applications.

description: The global challenges for conservation of farm animal genetic resources (FAnGR) are mainly tackled using in situ, ex situ or both breed conservation methods aiming at reducing the extinction risks and providing options for future usage. The United Kingdom government has confirmed their commitment to this plan by adopting and endorsing the Interlaken Declaration in 2007. Over a decade later, the Brexit vote has provided a unique opportunity for the UK to re-evaluate its agricultural policies which regulate farm animal genetic resource conservation, specifically the pillars of common agricultural policy (CAP) and how they affect the conservation of the UK s farm animal population diversity. This paper describes the current activities and policies regarding FAnGR conservation in the UK and discusses the effects that Brexit may have on UK FAnGR and how the UK government could best alter policy post-Brexit to give renewed drive towards safeguarding FAnGR. It was concluded that conservation of FAnGR should be re-prioritised as an important environmental service. To do this, specific budget and payment support needs to be allocated to FAnGR conservation activities, giving emphasis on public funding for public good to renew drive towards fulfilling the targets of the Global Plan in the UK.

description: Multivariate time series are routinely encountered in real-world applications, and in many cases, these time series are strongly correlated. In this paper, we present a deep learning structural time series model which can (i) handle correlated multivariate time series input, and (ii) forecast the targeted temporal sequence by explicitly learning/extracting the trend, seasonality, and event components. The trend is learned via a 1D and 2D temporal CNN and LSTM hierarchical neural net. The CNN-LSTM architecture can (i) seamlessly leverage the dependency among multiple correlated time series in a natural way, (ii) extract the weighted differencing feature for better trend learning, and (iii) memorize the long-term sequential pattern. The seasonality component is approximated via a non-liner function of a set of Fourier terms, and the event components are learned by a simple linear function of regressor encoding the event dates. We compare our model with several state-of-the-art methods through a comprehensive set of experiments on a variety of time series data sets, such as forecasts of Amazon AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) billings, and the closing prices for corporate stocks in the same category.

description: The unidirectional magnetoresistance (UMR) is one of the most complex spin-dependent transport phenomena in ferromagnet/non-magnet bilayers, which involves spin injection and accumulation due to the spin Hall effect (SHE) or Rashba-Edelstein effect (REE), spin-dependent scattering, and magnon scattering at the interface or in the bulk of the ferromagnet. While UMR in metallic bilayers has been studied extensively in very recent years, its magnitude is as small as 10$^-$$^5$, which is too small for practical applications. Here, we demonstrate a giant UMR effect in a heterostructure of BiSb topological insulator -- GaMnAs ferromagnetic semiconductor. We obtained a large UMR ratio of 1.1%, and found that this giant UMR is governed not by the giant magnetoresistance (GMR)-like spin-dependent scattering, but by magnon emission/absorption and strong spin-disorder scattering in the GaMnAs layer. Our results provide new insight into the complex physics of UMR, as well as a strategy for enhancing its magnitude for device applications.

description: Flexible pavements are commonly used in the world. The durable performance of ﬂexible pavement is a very importantfactor that is being considered. Due to the large traﬃc loads, certain diﬃculties develop because ﬂexible pavementsundergo speciﬁc deformations. In developing countries such as Pakistan, where there is an economic problem, somespecial corrective measures are required to improve the performance of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). The performanceof the HMA and its internal properties can be improved through the use of mineral waste ﬁllers to save pavementconstruction. In this study, the performance of HMA was investigated using diﬀerent mineral ﬁllers. The type ofminerals, used to verify the performance of HMA, was Stone Dust (SD), Brick Dust (BD) and Fly Ash (FA). TheMarshall Mix Design criteria (ASTM D1559) were adopted to investigate the volumetric properties of HMA. Inaddition, the optimal amount of each mineral load was determined using the Marshall Mix design. The preparedconventional samples were compared with the modiﬁed ﬁller samples. The modiﬁcation of AMF using mineral loadwas made by varying the percentages of ﬁnes from 5% to 9% with an increase of 0.5% in each sample of themineral load. However, the general modiﬁcation was made by the weight of the aggregates present in the totalmixture. The bitumen used was grade 60/70, taken from Attock Reﬁnery Limited Pakistan. The use of 7% of FAshowed the best results and the improvement of 31.60% of instability and against this stability, vertical deformationof 4.50 (mm) was observed. The results also showed that using 5% or less of mineral ﬁllers have adverse eﬀects onstability. This study highlighted the eﬀect of mineral ﬁllers to achieve a strong, durable resistance and the abilityto withstand certain discomforts related to temperature and moisture load. Therefore, it can be concluded that thelasting performance of HMA is possible using mineral ﬁllers.

description: For the purposes of our discussion today I have classified technological drought strategies in still another way: (1) ultimate, (2) conventional and (3) innovative. The ultimate strategy for dealing with drought would be to possess the capability to predict or forecast its geographic occurrence and severity weeks or even months in advance. Such a capability would allow for management decisions to be made in advance of the crisis. These decisions would reflect thorough planning and the best possible allocation of resources given the pending drought.
title: Acoustic signals as indicators of animal behavior, presence and location in delphinids

description: Animal acoustic behavior systems are complex and the lifestyle of marine mammals makes understanding these systems difficult as they spend much time submerged underwater and are often difficult to observe visually. Using passive acoustic monitoring to record and interpret cetacean vocalizations provides insights into how these animals use different vocalizations in various contexts. This thesis investigates the use of acoustic signals in foraging and communication in two wild delphinid species, the short-finned pilot whale and the bottlenose dolphin using animal attached digital recording devices (DTAG). In chapter 2, bottlenose dolphin clicks were recorded in Sarasota Bay, Florida to document click production rates among three behavioral contexts for application in density estimations. In chapter 3, bottlenose dolphin signature whistles were identified using the SIGID method to document temporal variations in signature whistle production. Combined application of passive acoustic monitoring with mark-recapture methods proved feasible with information on temporal variations in signature whistle production. In chapter 4, short-finned pilot whale buzzes were defined based on a maximum inter-click interval. Furthermore, the relationship of pilot whale buzzes and whistles with depth was investigated. A buzz duration, number of buzz clicks, whistle output, duration and energy flux density significantly decreased with increasing dive depths. In chapter 5, three buzz types produced by pilot whales were categorized. Analysis of the acoustic events occurring after each buzz showed that different buzz types are used for different biosonar tactics in foraging or communication. Gulps were investigated to identify potential cues for foraging success. The acoustic repertoire of delphinids is highly complex and the research in this thesis documents the variability in whistle and click production in bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales, which is fundamental to understand how passive acoustic monitoring can be used for interpreting delphinid behavior and documenting presence and location of animals.
