description: Background. In a number of recent experiments with food-and-mouth disease virus, a deleterious mutant, was found to avoid extinction and remain in the population for long periods of time. This observation was called quasispecies memory. The origin of quasispecies memory is not fully understood. Results. We propose and analyze a simple model of complementation between the wild type virus and a mutant that has an impaired ability of cell entry. The mutant will go extinct unless it is recreated from the wild type through mutations. However, under phenotypic mixing-and-hiding as a mechanism of complementation, the time to extinction in the absence of mutations increases with increasing multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.). The mutant's frequency at equilibrium under selection-mutation balance also increases with increasing m.o.i. At high m.o.i., a large fraction of mutant genomes are encapsidated with wild-type protein, which enables them to infect cells as efficiently as the wild type virions, and thus increases their fitness to the wild-type level. Moreover, even at low m.o.i. the equilibrium frequency of the mutant is higher than predicted by the standard quasispecies model, because a fraction of mutant virions generated from wild-type parents will also be encapsidated by wild-type protein. Conclusions. Our model predicts that phenotypic hiding will strongly influence the population dynamics of viruses, particularly at high m.o.i., and will also have important effects on the mutation--selection balance at low m.o.i. The delay in mutant extinction and increase in mutant frequencies at equilibrium may, at least in part, explain memory in quasispecies populations.

description: Background: RNA sequencing is currently the method of choice for genome-wide profiling of gene expression. A popular approach to quantify expression levels of genes from RNA-seq data is to map reads to a reference genome and then count mapped reads to each gene. Gene annotation data, which include chromosomal coordinates of exons for tens of thousands of genes, are required for this quantification process. There are several major sources of gene annotations that can be used for quantification, such as Ensembl and RefSeq databases. However, there is very little understanding of the effect that the choice of annotation has on the accuracy of gene expression quantification in an RNA-seq analysis. Results: In this paper, we present results from our comparison of Ensembl and RefSeq human annotations on their impact on gene expression quantification using a benchmark RNA-seq dataset generated by the SEQC consortium. We show that the use of RefSeq gene annotation models led to better quantification accuracy, based on the correlation with ground truths including expression data from >800 real-time PCR validated genes, known titration ratios of gene expression and microarray expression data. We also found that the recent expansion of the RefSeq annotation has led to a decrease in its annotation accuracy. Finally, we demonstrated that the RNA-seq quantification differences observed between different annotations were not affected by the use of different normalization methods. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study found that the use of the conservative RefSeq gene annotation yields better RNA-seq quantification results than the more comprehensive Ensembl annotation. We also found that, surprisingly, the recent expansion of the RefSeq database, which was primarily driven by the incorporation of sequencing data into the gene annotation process, resulted in a reduction in the accuracy of RNA-seq quantification.
Consumer Food Waste In the United States

Subjects: Consumer/Household Economics

description: Large domestic food supplies, a declining share of family income spent for food, and relatively stable food prices in past years have lessened the importance of food waste as a priority issue. As a result, strongly supportable estimates of consumer food waste are not available. However, recent food price inflation and concerns about resource conservation have focused more attention on determining food loss. The emergence of new U.S. dietary guidelines, which recommend changes in consumer eating habits, also strengthens the need to know what is eaten - not just what is purchased. This report is a summary of what is known about consumer food waste in the United States. Empirical estimates from studies using four different research procedures are reviewed. The estimates are widely divergent, indicating that from 7 to 35 percent of all food purchased for use at home is wasted. Part of the wide range in the estimates is explained by the differences in definitions of waste, by the study methodology, and by the characteristics of the sample households.

 Remarks. The type specimen, carapace width 4.5 mm, is a male while the largest known female listed by McLay (1999) measured 15.5 mm in carapace width. The present collection contains a male 13.9 mm in carapace width, thus increasing the known size range for males. Prior to the present study, only one male and two female specimens were known, so the seven males and six females reported here more than quadruple the number of known specimens. As such, this species is not as rare as previously believed. The ovigerous females (16.7 x 14.7 mm, 17.0 x 18.5 mm) carried 880 and 1400 new eggs each, with diameters averaging 0.45 mm, and are the first ovigerous specimens known. With this egg size it can be assumed that A. margarita has a free­swimming larval phase. No eggs were attached to the uniramous first pair of pleopods. The present specimens had light pink spines on carapace and the pereopods with golden yellow dactyli.
 Distribution. Acanthodromia margarita was known only from the type locality, Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean and Japan. Its occurrence in the Philippines is a significant new record. The approximate depth range for this species is 120–200 m, although the only exact depth known is for the type specimen that came from 135 m.

description: Over the past few years one of us (Murthy) in collaboration with R. Shankar has developed an extended Hamiltonian formalism capable of describing the ground state and low energy excitations in the fractional quantum Hall regime. The Hamiltonian, expressed in terms of Composite Fermion operators, incorporates all the nonperturbative features of the fractional Hall regime, so that conventional many-body approximations such as Hartree-Fock and time-dependent Hartree-Fock are applicable. We apply this formalism to develop a microscopic theory of the collective edge modes in fractional quantum Hall regime. We present the results for edge mode dispersions at principal filling factors $ν=1/3,1/5$ and $ν=2/5$ for systems with unreconstructed edges. The primary advantage of the method is that one works in the thermodynamic limit right from the beginning, thus avoiding the finite-size effects which ultimately limit exact diagonalization studies.

description: In hospitals, patient falls prevention education is frequently delivered by nurses and allied health professionals. Hospital falls rates remain high globally, despite the many systems and approaches that attempt to mitigate falling. The aim of this study was to investigate health professional views on the enablers and barriers to providing patient falls education in hospitals. Four focus groups with 23 nursing and allied health professionals were conducted at 3 hospitals. Three researchers independently coded the data and findings were analysed thematically with a descriptive qualitative approach to identify and develop themes according to barriers and enablers. Barriers included (i) limited interprofessional communication about patient falls; (ii) sub-optimal systems for falls education for patients and health professionals, and (iii) perceived patient-related barriers to falls education. Enablers to providing patient falls education included: (i) implementing strategies to increase patient empowerment; (ii) ensuring that health professionals had access to effective modes of patient education; and (iii) facilitating interprofessional collaboration. Health professionals identified the need to overcome organisational, patient and clinician-related barriers to falls education. Fostering collective responsibility amongst health professionals for evidence-based falls prevention was also highlighted.

description: We present a novel computerized fetal heart rate intrapartum algorithm for early and individualized prediction of fetal cardiovascular decompensation, a key event in the causal chain leading to brain injury. This real-time machine learning algorithm performs well on noisy fetal heart rate data and requires ~2 hours to train on the individual fetal heart rate tracings in the first stage of labor; once trained, the algorithm predicts the event of fetal cardiovascular decompensation with 92% sensitivity. We show that the algorithm's performance suffers reducing sensitivity to 67% when the fetal heart rate is acquired at the sampling rate of 4 Hz used in ultrasound cardiotocographic monitors compared to the electrocardiogram(ECG)-derived signals as can be acquired from maternal abdominal ECG.

description: Combining the benefits of D-branes and background fluxes in string compactifications opens up the possibility to explore phenomenologically interesting brane world models with stabilized moduli. However, it is difficult to determine interaction effects among open strings and fluxes in the effective action. We derive the full bosonic Lagrangian of a (spontaneously broken) N=4 supersymmetric model with D3-branes and NSNS and RR 3-form fluxes in an orientifold of type IIB, that, without fluxes, would be T-dual to type I theory. In the limit where backreaction in form of a warp factor is neglected, the effective action can be obtained through a procedure that combines dimensional reduction and T-duality, and it is found to be in agreement with results from gauged supergravity. This provides evidence for the consistency of this commonly used approximation scheme.

description: The Feel4Diabetes study recruited 12,193 children (age: 8.20 ±1.01 years) and their parents from six European countries as part of the broader attempt to prevent type 2 diabetes. The current work collected data pre-intervention to identify the prevalence of childhood obesity by country and describe its association with socio-demographic characteristics and parental obesity status. One in four children were overweight or obese, and one in four families had at least one obese parent. Multivariate logistic regression examined the associations between childhood obesity, family socio-demographics, and parental obesity status. Children had a higher chance of being overweight or obese if they were living in “low income” countries (OR: 2.11, 95% CI: 1.62, 2.74) and countries “under economic crisis” (OR: 2.48, 95% CI: 1.89, 3.24) compared to “high-income” countries; if their fathers completed fewer than nine years of education (OR: 2.16, 95% CI: 1.54, 3.05) compared to children whose fathers had a higher level (>14 years) of education; and if one (OR: 2.46, 95% CI: 0.32, 0.62) or both of their parents (OR: 6.83, 95% CI: 5.15, 9.05) were obese. Future childhood obesity prevention-programs should target the whole family while taking into consideration the socioeconomic and weight status of parents. Future research should examine these associations in more countries and in socio-demographically diverse populations in order to facilitate the generalisability of the present study’s findings.

The search technique involves creating a sample of likely lensing galaxies, which we define as massive early-type galaxies in a redshift range 0.3 < z <1.3. The target galaxies are selected by color and magnitude, giving a sample of 1092 galaxies. For each galaxy in the sample, we subtract a smooth description of the galaxy light from the z_{850}-band data. The residuals are examined, along with true-color images created from the B_{435}V_{606}i_{775} data, for morphologies indicative of strong lensing. We present our six most promising lens candidates, as well as our full list of candidates.

description: We calculate dust spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for a range of grain sizes and compositions, using physical properties appropriate for five pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) from which dust emission associated with the ejecta has been detected. By fitting the observed dust SED with our models, with the number of grains of different sizes as the free parameters, we are able to determine the grain size distribution and total dust mass in each PWN. We find that all five PWNe require large ($\ge 0.1 \, {\rm μm}$) grains to make up the majority of the dust mass, with strong evidence for the presence of micron-sized or larger grains. Only two PWNe contain non-negligible quantities of small ($<0.01 \, {\rm μm}$) grains. The size distributions are generally well-represented by broken power laws, although our uncertainties are too large to rule out alternative shapes. We find a total dust mass of $0.02-0.28 \, {\rm M}_\odot$ for the Crab Nebula, depending on the composition and distance from the synchrotron source, in agreement with recent estimates. For three objects in our sample, the PWN synchrotron luminosity is insufficient to power the observed dust emission, and additional collisional heating is required, either from warm, dense gas as found in the Crab Nebula, or higher temperature shocked material. For G$54.1$+$0.3$, the dust is heated by nearby OB stars rather than the PWN. Inferred dust masses vary significantly depending on the details of the assumed heating mechanism, but in all cases large mass fractions of micron-sized grains are required.

description: Private landholders’ contributions to biodiversity conservation are critical in landscapes with insuﬃcient formal conservation reserves, as is the case in Australia’s tropical savannas. This study reports results from a discrete choice experiment conducted with pastoralists and graziers across northern Australia. The experiment was designed to explore the willingness of pastoralists and graziers to sign up to voluntary biodiversity conservation contracts. Understanding preferences for contractual attributes and preference heterogeneity were additional objectives. Such knowledge can increase eﬀectiveness and eﬃciency of conservation programs by informing contract design, negotiation and administration. Random parameter logit modelling showed that of contract attributes, conservation requirement, stewardship payment, contract duration and ﬂexibility in contract conditions signiﬁcantly inﬂuenced choices. Land productivity was a signiﬁcant factor as were attitudes. There was signiﬁcant heterogeneity of preferences for all contract attributes. Models were run for best–worst scaling responses and the ﬁrst preferences subset, with the latter model deemed superior. Latent class modelling distinguished four classes of decision-makers and illustrated diﬀerent decision heuristics. Conservation investment strategies, which oﬀer farmers contract options that meet biodiversity requirements while accommodating heterogeneous attribute preferences, are likely to lead to increased participation rates. Complementary suasion eﬀorts are also required which espouse the beneﬁts that pastoralists derive from biodiversity and participation in voluntary conservation contracts.

description: The production of margarine in Australia was for a long time the subject of strict quotas designed to limit the output of the industry in order to protect the dairy industry. The industry was eﬀectively deregulated by the Whitlam, Dunstan (South Australia) and Wran (New South Wales) governments in the years 1975 and 1976. This move was eﬀectively the ﬁrst measure designed to deregulate an industry in modern Australian economic history and aimed to promote competition in order to improve eﬃciency and community welfare. It also began the long process of eliminating government intervention in the Australian dairy industry, which was not to be completed until 2000.

description: Many environmental problems are due to damage caused by pollutants that accumulate with a time lag following their emission. In this study, we focus on nitrates used in agriculture, which can pollute groundwater many years after their initial application. A dynamic optimal control problem with heterogeneous farmers is proposed. The usual structural parameters such as the discount rate, the natural clearing rate and the lagged time interval between the occurrence of soil-level pollution and the impact on groundwater are taken into account. We also examine pollution as caused by a continuous set of farms characterised by their individual performance index and by their individual marginal contribution to the pollution. The issue is further investigated by taking account of change in the information context, successively related to perfect information and to asymmetric information. As a result, when the delay between the spreading of N-fertilizer and the impact on the aquifer increases, that is, the longer the lag, the steady-state pollution stock and the steady-state shadow price of the stock both increase. Moreover, we show that the optimal regulation may require a decreasing amount of fertilizer over time, even in the case of initial underpollution.

description: The most important features to assess the severity of an epidemic are its size and its timescale. We discuss these features in a systematic way in the context of SIR and SIR-type models. We investigate in detail how the size and timescale of the epidemic can be changed by acting on the parameters characterizing the model. Using these results and having as guideline the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy, we compare the efficiency of different containment strategies for contrasting an epidemic diffusion such as social distancing, lockdown, tracing, early detection and isolation.

description: It has been proposed that climate policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel use may actually worsen the problem of global warming. Such a Green Paradox could occur if fossil fuel resource owners exploit their resources more rapidly due to the expectation of stricter climate policies in the future. This article shows that the emergence of the Green Paradox is less plausible if exploration activities are taken into account. An extraction model that incorporates exploration investments ﬁnds that an increasing cash ﬂow tax is eﬀective in dealing with climate change depending upon the speciﬁc formulation of the tax scheme. For example, the higher the initial tax level, the more eﬀective is the tax scheme in mitigating climate change and hence a Green Paradox can be avoided. A very low growth rate is also beneﬁcial for the climate as it leads to a small temporal redistribution of extraction to earlier periods. A very high growth rate leads to faster extraction; however, it also coincides with a signiﬁcant decrease in total emissions that is inconsistent with a Green Paradox.

description: A signiﬁcant portion of the world’s agricultural systems currently operate at the extreme end of the climate conditions that are considered to be suitable for crop and livestock production. Under these conditions, even moderate climate changes are anticipated to drive substantial transformational changes to agricultural systems. Transformations require new investments and infrastructure and can leave some assets stranded. These transformations can be partially or wholly irreversible, and hysteresis eﬀects can make switching diﬃcult and mistakes costly to reverse. This study demonstrates how a real options decision framework, ‘Real Options for Adaptive Decisions’ (ROADs), can be used to investigate how uncertainties about the climate aﬀect the adaptation and transformation of agricultural systems. By building upon recent developments in the mathematics of stochastic optimisation, we extend traditional economic analyses of agricultural investment decisions based on net present values to better represent incomplete knowledge and uncertainty. We report results from a case study in South Australia that describes the transition pathways farmers might follow as their industries are transformed in response to climate change.

description: Η αντίληψη περί ηδονισμού βρήκε για πρώτη φορά την φιλοσοφική της υπόσταση στις θεωρίες των σοφιστών και έκτοτε απασχόλησε αρκετούς από τους πιο γνωστούς φιλοσόφους και φιλοσοφικές σχολές της αρχαιότητας. Στην ιστορία της φιλοσοφίας αρκετοί υπήρξαν οι υποστηρικτές του ηδονισμού, αλλά και οι πολέμιοι αυτού. Οι πρώτοι ονομάστηκαν ηδονιστές και οι αντίπαλοί τους ήταν οι αντι-ηδονιστές. Για τους ηδονιστές το αγαθό είναι η ηδονή, ενώ απορρίπτεται κάθε συσχετισμός αυτού με την φρόνηση και το έλλογο στοιχείο, το οποίο ανήγαγε το αγαθό στη σφαίρα της μεταφυσικής, και επομένως μακριά από τον καθημερινό πρακτικό βίο των ανθρώπων. Υπό αυτήν την έννοια για τους ηδονιστές η ηδονή είναι μία, αφού ως αγαθό δεν δύναται να διαιρεθεί. Μια τέτοια ηδονιστική τάση διατυπώθηκε από τον Εύδοξο τον Κνίδιο, τον μαθηματικό, αστρονόμο και φιλόσοφο, ο οποίος υπήρξε και μέλος της πλατωνικής Ακαδημίας, και η οποία μάλιστα χαρακτηρίστηκε ρηξικέλευθη για την εποχή και γι' αυτό προκάλεσε έντονες αντιδράσεις στον χώρο της Ακαδημίας
description: The notion of hedonism first found its philosophical significance in the theories of the Sophists and has since been the subject of inquiry for several of the most famous philosophers and philosophical schools in Antiquity. During the long history of philosophy, many supporters of hedonism have made their appearance, but also the opponents of hedonism were also numerous. The first were called Hedonists and their opponents were the Anti-hedonists. For hedonists, the Good is identified with Pleasure, while any association of the Good with reason and phronesis is also rejected, since this association has caused the Good to enter the realm of metaphysics and, as a consequence, the practical relevance of the Good and its impact on the practical side of life is being neglected. As a further result of this thought, according to the Hedonists, Pleasure is one, simple and unique, since -being the Good- it cannot be further divided. Such was the framework in which the totally hedonistic ideas of Eudoxus of Cnidus were expressed (the great mathematician, astronomer and philosopher, who was also a member of the Platonic Academy); this eudoxian hedonistic tendency was so groundbreaking for its time that provoked significant (positive and negative) reactions from the members of the Platonic Academy.

description: This review concentrates on the specific properties and characteristics of damage structures generated with high-energy ions in the electronic energy loss regime. Irradiation experiments with so-called swift heavy ions (SHI) find applications in many different fields, with examples presented in ion-track nanotechnology, radiation hardness analysis of functional materials, and laboratory tests of cosmic radiation. The basics of the SHI-solid interaction are described with special attention to processes in the electronic subsystem. The broad spectrum of damage phenomena is exemplified for various materials and material classes, along with a description of typical characterization techniques. The review also presents state-of-the-art modeling efforts that try to account for the complexity of the coupled processes of the electronic and atomic subsystems. Finally, the relevance of SHI phenomena for effects induced by fission fragments in nuclear fuels and how this knowledge can be applied to better estimate damage risks in nuclear materials is discussed.

description: A model of monopolistic competition is suggested to study common-pool resource use. Individuals extract an input from the pool to produce a consumption good under decreasing average costs. The equilibrium output and population sizes are obtained under two types of usage conjectures. Somewhat counter-intuitively, a cooperative equilibrium results in a larger population of harvesters but lower welfare than the noncooperative one. Some degree of population heterogeneity helps minimise the welfare gap between the two equilibria, but the size of heterogeneity may be a determinant if the resource pool becomes subsequently depleted. The model’s potential for policy analysis is illustrated by considering how governance via institutional arrangements and transaction costs may be incorporated and inferred.

description: Metadynomene tanensis (Yokoya, 1933)
 Dynomene tanensis Yokoya, 1933: 96, fig 38.
 Dynomene praedator.— Sakai 1976: 30, fig. 17 (not Dynomene praedator A. Milne­Edwards, 1879).
 Metadynomene tanensis.— McLay 1999: 521, figs. 4d, 6c, 7f, 9d, e, 11, 13c, e, f, 14e, 25b, 27, 28.—McLay et al. 2001: 964.— Ng et al. 2001: 6.
 Material. 1 male, 17.0 x 15.8 mm, 200–300 m, 28 Nov 2001, ZRC 2001.524; 2 males, 15.1 x 14.0 mm, 17.4 x 16.3 mm, 200–300 m, Jun 2002, ZRC 2002.629; 1 female, 17.3 x 15.7 mm, 200–300 m, 25–30 Jul 2003, ZRC 2003.677; 2 males, 21.2 x 19.8 mm, 22.6 x 21.2 mm, 200–300 m, 2 Mar 2004, ZRC / NMCR. All locations in Balicasag Island, Panglao, Bohol, Visayas, Philippines; purchased from local shell fishermen, obtained by tangle nets.
 Remarks. All species of Metadynomene are covered with short soft setae and easily separated from other dynomenids. The present female (17.3 x 15.7 mm) carried a small Sacculina parasite under the abdomen.
 Distribution. Metadynomene tanensis is a deep water dynomenid that has been found in the range 205– 520 m. Its distribution includes Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Loyalty and Chesterfield Islands. Therefore the occurrence of M. tanensis in the Philippines is a new record, but it does not extend the geographic range of the species.
 McLay (1999: 522) reported a large male specimen (29.1 x 27.6 mm) from Tuamotu, French Polynesia as being M. tanensis, but it now appears this specimen belongs to a new species. The anterolateral teeth are much smaller than in the present specimens and are arranged differently. We prefer to wait until more specimens, including females, become available before describing it as a new species. Thus the distribution of M. tanensis is now confined to the west Pacific. The Tuamotu specimen should be referred to as Metadynomene aff. tanensis for the time being. Exclusion of this large male makes the maximum size of M. tanensis 23.7 x 21.4 mm for males and 24.8 x 22.4 mm for females.

description: We prove that there is a natural plectic weight filtration on the cohomology of Hilbert modular varieties in the spirit of Nekovar and Scholl. This is achieved with the help of Morel's work on weight t-structures and a detailed study of partial Frobenius. We prove in particular that the partial Frobenius extends to toroidal and minimal compactifications.

description: Aim: To systematically develop and test stimuli for inclusion within the revised Alcohol Expectancy Task (rAET)-a pictographic assessment of alcohol-related beliefs.Using a UK adult sample of regular social drinkers, this paper documents the (1) selection (2)development and (3)testing of stimuli, along with (4)initial validation of the rAET. 
Method: A hierarchy of common alcoholic beverages was established, along with a consensus regarding beverage presentation format.A professional artist iteratively developed pictographs of characters exhibiting different emotions in everyday scenarios and specialised photography of beverages was undertaken. Accurate identification/recognition of these stimuli was then established using a response box, whereby participants indicated which word (from eight) matched the onscreen images presented.Finally, developed stimuli were included within the rAET. 
Results: Informing stimuli development and selection, wine, beer and vodka were the most common alcoholic beverages that participants reported consuming, with a preference for photographic representations.Inverse efficiency scores (based on accuracy and reaction time) suggested some variability in the recognition of certain beverage types and emotional stimuli, highlighting which stimuli may be best for inclusion in the rAET. Confirmatory factorial analyses of rAET responses suggests it has good construct validity. 
Conclusion: Maximising the transparency of stimuli selection, development and assessment provides a solid basis for systematic and valid scenario-based assessments of alcohol-related beliefs.
