description: Context: The goal of the meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of pioglitazone on the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and renal adverse events in patients with or at high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Design: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing pioglitazone with any control were identified through PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Cardiovascular outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events [MACEs, defined as the composite of non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke and cardiovascular death], hospitalization for heart failure (HF), and all-cause mortality. Renal outcomes included change in urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) and 24h urinary protein excretion. Weighted mean difference (WMD) and Risk ratio (RR) with 95% CIs were pooled. Results: 26 studies with 19645 participants were enrolled. Pioglitazone reduced the risk of MACE (RR 0.8 [95% CI 0.7-0.9]), with benefit only seen in patients with a history of established CVDs (0.8 [0.7-0.9]) and not in those without (1.0 [0.7-1.3]). Regarding the individual components, pioglitazone reduced the risk of non-fatal MI (0.8 [0.6-1.0]) and non-fatal stroke (0.8 [0.7-0.9]) which was confined to patients with a history of established CVDs, whereas no treatment effect was found on cardiovascular death (1.0 [0.7-1.2]) regardless of the presence of established CVDs. Pioglitazone increased the risk of hospitalization for HF (1.3 [1.1-1.6]) and had no treatment effect on all-cause mortality (1.0 [0.8-1.1]). Pioglitazone reduced albuminuria by 18.5% (WMD 18.5% [95% CI 21.1-16.0]), with a similar benefit in patients with different renal function categories. Conclusions: Pioglitazone should be considered in patients with or at high risk of T2DM for the prevention of cardiovascular endpoints, especially in those with a history of established CVD who might benefit the most. Robust reductions in progression of renal disease are seen regardless of baseline renal function degree.

description: We revisit the study of the probe scalar quasinormal modes of a class of three-charge supersymmetric microstate geometries. We compute the real and imaginary parts of the quasinormal modes and show that in the parameter range when the geometries have large AdS region, the spectrum is precisely reproduced from a D1-D5 orbifold CFT analysis. The spectrum includes the slow decaying modes pointed out by Eperon, Reall, and Santos. We analyse in detail the nature of the quasinormal modes by studying the scalar wavefunction. We show that these modes correspond to slow leakage of excitation from AdS throat to infinity.

$B \to D_s π$ and the tree amplitude in $B \to π^+ π^-$

description: The recently-observed decay $B^0 \to D_s^+ π^-$ is expected to proceed mainly by means of a tree amplitude in the factorization limit: $B^0 \to π^- {(W^+)}^*$, ${(W^+)}^* \to D_s^+$. Under this assumption, we predict the corresponding contribution of the tree amplitude to $B^0 \to π^+ π^-$. We indicate the needed improvements in data that will allow a useful estimate of this amplitude with errors comparable to those accompanying other methods. Since the factorization hypothesis for this process goes beyond that proved in most approaches, we also discuss independent tests of this hypothesis.

description: Simplicial complexes are increasingly used to study complex system structure and dynamics including diffusion, synchronization and epidemic spreading. The spectral dimension of the graph Laplacian is known to determine the diffusion properties at long time scales. Using the renormalization group here we calculate the spectral dimension of the graph Laplacian of two classes of non-amenable $d$ dimensional simplicial complexes: the Apollonian networks and the pseudo-fractal networks. We analyse the scaling of the spectral dimension with the topological dimension $d$ for $d\to \infty$ and we point out that randomness such as the one present in Network Geometry with Flavor can diminish the value of the spectral dimension of these structures.

description: This paper examines the effects of farm size, soil erosion, and sml conservation investments on land and labor productivity and allocative efficiency in Rwanda. There were several key results. First, there is a strong inverse relationship between farm size and land productivity, and the opposite for labor productivity. For smaller farms, there 1s ev1dence of allocative inefficiency in use of land and labor, probably due to factor market access constraints. Second, farms with greater mvestment in soil conservation have much better land productivity than average. Those with very eroded soils do much worse than average. Smaller farms are not more eroded than larger farms, but have twice the soil conservation investments. Third, land productivity benefits substantially from perenmal cash crops, and the gains to shifting to cash crops are highest for those with low erosion and high use of fertilizer and organic matter. Program and policy effort to encourage and enable farmers to make soil conservation investments, to use fertilizer and organic matter, and to participate in cash cropping of perennials will have big payoffs in productivity. Land markets that allow smaller farmers to buy land could also increase aggregate productivity.

Conductivity of a two-dimensional HgTe layer near the critical width: The role of developed edge states network and random mixture of $p$- and $n$-domains

description: The conductivity of a two-dimensional HgTe quantum well with a width $\sim$6.3~nm, close to the transition from ordinary to topological insulating phases, is studied. The Fermi level is supposed to get to the overall energy gap. The consideration is based on the percolation theory. We have found that the width fluctuations convert the system to a random mixture of domains with positive and negative energy gaps with internal edge states formed near zero gap lines. In the case with no potential fluctuations, the conductance of a finite sample is provided by a random edge states network. The zero-temperature conductivity of an infinite sample is determined by the free motion of electrons along the zero-gap lines and tunneling between them. The conductance of a single $p$-$n$ junction, which is crossed by the edge state, is found. The result is applied to the situation when potential fluctuations transform the system to a mixture of $p$- and $n$-domains. It is stated that the tunneling across $p$-$n$ junctions forbids the low-temperature conductivity of a random system, but the latter is restored due to the random edge states crossing the junctions.

description: In this work, a new method of synthesizing gold-rhodium alloyed nanoparticles (Au-Rh NPs), stabilized by triphenylphosphine (PPh₃) ligands is reported. This method has only previously been used to synthesize monometallic Au₅₅(PPh₃)₁₂Cl₆ (Au55) and Rh₅₅(PPh₃)₁₂Cl₆ (Rh55) nanoparticles. The NPs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and time-offlight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). It was observed that the synthesis produced NPs with the same size as Au55 and Rh55 and a wide range of alloy compositions as well as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and rhodium nanoparticles (RhNPs). The electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is explored for the AuRh NPs and compared with the activities of Au55 and Rh55 using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and rotating ring disk voltammetry (RRDV).

description: The one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang dynamic interface growth equation with the traveling-wave Ansatz is analyzed. As a new feature additional analytic terms are added. From the mathematical point of view, these can be considered as various noise distribution functions. Six different cases were investigated among others Gaussian, Lorentzian, white or even pink noise. Analytic solutions are evaluated and analyzed for all cases. All results are expressible with various special functions Mathieu, Bessel, Airy or Whittaker functions showing a very rich mathematical structure with some common general characteristics. This study is the continuation of our former work, where the same physical phenomena was investigated with the self-similar Ansatz. The differences and similarities among the various solutions are enlightened.

description: A fairly comprehensive range of planting choices made by maize farmers in Kenya (including discrete endogenous variables creating self-selectivity) is modelled and estimated as one system of interrelated decisions. Two-stage and three-stage probit procedures are used to handle the simultaneity and self-selectivity problems. Results showed that population pressure and agroclimatic diversity are important determinants of crop intensification and planting regimes among maize farmers and further supported the importance of focusing maize research in terms of agroclimate and socio-economic domains. Shorter maturity and efficient double and multiple cropping methods are needed to increase land productivity and intensity of labour use in areas of high population pressure and bimodal rainfall, i.e. mid-altitude zones. On the other hand, technologies that would lead to increased productivity of capital and higher response to external inputs are desired for the highlands of Kenya. Access to extension and machine services, distance to the maize plot, and time of onset of the rains were also found to significantly influence the planting strategies of maize farmers.

description: Tensor non-Gaussianities are a key ingredient to test the symmetries and the presence of higher spin fields during the inflationary epoch. Indeed, the shape of the three point correlator of the graviton is totally fixed by the symmetries of the de Sitter stage and, in the case of parity conservation, gets contributions only from the ordinary gravity action plus a higher derivative term called the (Weyl)$^3$ action. We discuss current and future bounds on the three point tensor contribution from the (Weyl)$^3$ term using cosmic microwave background (CMB) bispectra. Our results indicate that forthcoming experiments, such as LiteBIRD, CMB-S4 and CORE, will detect the presence of the (Weyl)$^3$ term if $M_p^4 L^4 \sim 10^{17} r^{-4}$, where $L$ parametrizes the strength of the (Weyl)$^3$ term and $r$ is the tensor-to-scalar ratio, which corresponds to $L\gtrsim 3.2 \times 10^5 M_p^{-1}$, while the current upper limit is $M_p^4 L^4 = (1.1 \pm 4.0) \times 10^{19} r^{-4}$ (68%CL).

description: Local governments use nonprofit agencies to deliver services to the elderly, handicapped, and other groups. Funding cutbacks in many programs have affected the way these nonprofits operate. Where there used to be one nonprofit for each group or program, some Ohio nonprofits have begun to branch out and compete against others to serve clients under several programs and in several political jurisdictions. Some single-purpose nonprofits are being edged out as a result. It's not clear that the multipurpose nonprofits can deliver services belter than the single-focus agencies, but it is clear that a multiplicity of programs, clients, and funding sources raises questions about accountability to local government
Kinematical solution of the UHE-cosmic-ray puzzle without a preferred class of inertial observers

description: Among the possible explanations for the puzzling observations of cosmic rays above the GZK cutoff there is growing interest in the ones that represent kinematical solutions, based either on general formulations of particle physics with small violations of Lorentz symmetry or on a quantum-gravity-motivated scheme for the breakup of Lorentz symmetry. An unappealing aspect of these cosmic-ray-puzzle solutions is that they require the existence of a preferred class of inertial observers. Here I propose a new kinematical solution of the cosmic-ray puzzle, which does not require the existence of a preferred class of inertial observers. My proposal is a new example of a type of relativistic theories, the so-called "doubly-special-relativity" theories, which have already been studied extensively over the last two years. The core ingredient of the proposal is a deformation of Lorentz transformations in which also the Planck scale $E_p$ (in addition to the speed-of-light scale $c$) is described as an invariant. Just like the introduction of the invariant $c$ requires a deformation of the Galileian transformations into the Lorentz transformations, the introduction of the invariant $E_p$ requires a deformation of the Lorentz transformations, but there is no special class of inertial observers. The Pierre Auger Observatory and the GLAST space telescope should play a key role in future developments of these investigations. I also emphasize that the doubly-special-relativity theory here proposed, besides being the first one to provide a solution for the cosmic-ray puzzle, is also the first one in which a natural description of macroscopic bodies is achieved, and may find applications in the context of a recently-proposed dark-energy scenario.

description: We present the first population synthesis of synchronous magnetic cataclysmic variables, called polars, taking into account the effect of the white dwarf (WD) magnetic field on angular momentum loss. We implemented the reduced magnetic braking (MB) model proposed by Li, Wu & Wickramasinghe into the Binary Stellar Evolution (BSE) code recently calibrated for cataclysmic variable (CV) evolution. We then compared separately our predictions for polars and non-magnetic CVs with a large and homogeneous sample of observed CVs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We found that the predicted orbital period distributions and space densities agree with the observations if period bouncers are excluded. For polars, we also find agreement between predicted and observed mass transfer rates, while the mass transfer rates of non-magnetic CVs with periods ${\gtrsim3}$ hr drastically disagree with those derived from observations. Our results provide strong evidence that the reduced MB model for the evolution of highly magnetized accreting WDs can explain the observed properties of polars. The remaining main issues in our understanding of CV evolution are the origin of the large number of highly magnetic WDs, the large scatter of the observed mass transfer rates for non-magnetic systems with periods ${\gtrsim3}$ hr, and the absence of period bouncers in observed samples.

description: The well-known Allais paradox is reformulated as a daily farm decision problem. Only 26% of the farmers exhibit violations of the expected utility hypothesis. Moreover, the tendency for violation decreases with the farm operator's education, experience and family size. No effects of the farm main crop or its scale were detected. Finally, when taking into account the possibility of choice errors, we find that the violation rate is statistically insignificant.

description: The relationship between the effects of food aid and those of the completion of the Uruguay Round of the GATT are studied in this paper, focusing upon the food aid recipient countries, and taking Bangladesh as an illustrative example. It is argued that, among other factors, the magnitudes of these effects depend crucially on the policy environment within the food aid recipient country itself, particularly the government's policy with respect to commercial food imports. It is shown that when the quantity of Bangladesh's commercial food imports is controlled by the government, the benefits derived from food aid are smaller than when these imports are liberalised. Likewise, the negative effects that the Uruguay Round may be expected to have on Bangladesh will also be larger if commercial food imports are subject to quantitative controls than if they are liberalised. The effects the Uruguay Round will have on Bangladesh will also depend on the way food aid donors respond to the Round. If donors reduce the volumes of food aid, either because of reduced food surpluses resulting from lower agricultural subsidies, or in response to increased international food prices resulting from the Round, the losses incurred by Bangladesh will be magnified. But these effects will also depend heavily on whether Bangladesh itself participates in the liberalisations that are central to the Round itself. If it were to participate fully, the negative effects that the Uruguay Round would otherwise have on Bangladesh may be entirely offset by the gains Bangladesh would derive from its own liberalisation.

description: Wisconsin’s nonmetro residents get by on less income than their metro neighbors. But that’s not just because things cost less in the country. Some of the difference is due to the makeup of the population. Wisconsin's rural areas, for example, have higher concentrations of households with paid-up mortgages and households headed by an elderly person. Such households generally need less income to make ends meet.

description: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition impacting high-level cognitive processing and social behavior. Recognizing the distributed nature of brain function, neuroscientists are exploiting the connectome to aid with the characterization of this complex disease. The human connectome has demonstrated the brain to be a highly organized system with a centralized core vital for effective function. As such, many have used this topological principle to not only assess core regions, but have stratified the remaining graph into subnetworks depending on their relation to the core. Subnetworks are then utilized to further understand the supporting role of more peripheral nodes with respects to the overall function in the network. A recently proposed framework for subnetwork definition is based on the network dependency index (NDI), a measure of a node's importance based on its contribution to overall efficiency in the network, and the derived subnetworks, or Tiers, have been shown to be largely stable across ages in structural networks. Here, we extend the NDI framework to test its efficacy against a number experimental conditions. We first not only demonstrated NDI's feasibility on resting-state functional MRI data, but also its stability irrespective of the group connectome on which NDI was determined for various edge thresholds. Secondly, by comparing network theory measures of transitivity and efficiency, significant group differences were identified in NDI Tiers of greatest importance. This demonstrates the efficacy of utilizing NDI stratified subnetworks, which can help to improve our understanding of diseases and how they affect overall brain connectivity.

description: We describe the effective lagrangian approach to the color superconductivity. The effective description that arises if one considers only the leading terms in the expansion for very high densities is particularly simple. It is based on a lagrangian whose effective fermion fields are velocity-dependent; moreover strong interactions do not change quark velocity and the effective lagrangian does not contain spin matrices. All these features render the effective theory similar to the Heavy Quark Effective Theory, which is the limit of Quantum ChromoDynamics for infinite quark masses. For this reason one can refer to the effective lagrangian at high density as the High Density Effective Theory (HDET). In some cases HDET results in analytical, though approximate, relations that are particularly simple to handle. After a pedagogical introduction, several topics are considered. They include the treatment of the Color-Flavor-Locking and the 2SC model, with evaluation of the gap parameters by the Nambu-Gorkov equations, approximate dispersion laws for the gluons and calculations of the Nambu-Goldstone Bosons properties. We also discuss the effective lagrangian for the crystalline color superconductive (LOFF) phase and we give a description of the phonon field related to the breaking of the rotational and translational invariance. Finally a few astrophysical applications of color superconductivity are discussed.

description: Chile is one of the few countries that has encouraged the use of markets in water resource management. In order to assess the impact of water markets and transactions costs in Chile, four river valleys, the Maipo, Elqui, Limari, and the Azapa were selected as case studies. Transactions from the Elqui and Limari valleys, during the years 1986 to 1993, were analyzed to determine the gains-from-trade from market transfers. In the economic and financial analysis of water markets, crop budgets were used to estimate the value of water in agricultural production. The value of water-use rights to urban water-supply companies was estimated using the avoided cost of an alternative investment in a water-storage reservoir. The analysis demonstrated that the market transfer of water-use rights does produce substantial economic gains-from-trade in both the Elqui and Limari Valleys. These economic gains produce rents for both buyers and sellers. But buyers, especially farmers growing profitable crops who buy water-use rights and individuals buying water-use rights for potable water supply, receive higher rents then sellers. Large table-grape producers in the Limari Valley and individuals buying water for human consumption in the Elqui Valley received the highest rents. In the Elqui Valley net gains-from-trade per share were within the range of recent transfer prices of US$1000. In the Limari Valley, gains-from-trade per share are 3.4 times the recent prices of US$3000 for a share of water from the Cogoti Reservoir. Where trading was active, especially in the Limari Valley, transactions costs have not presented an appreciable barrier to trading. Nonetheless, in the large canal systems with fixed flow dividers in the Elqui and Maipo Valley there have been very few transactions. Various factors contribute to the lack of trading, but the absence of trading in these large canal systems highlights the costs of modifying fixed infrastructure, especially for trades between farmers.

description: The quasiparticle band structures of nonmagnetic monoxides, MO (M=Mg, Ca, Ti, and V), are calculated by the GW approximation. The band gap and the width of occupied oxygen 2p states in insulating MgO and CaO agree with experimental observation. In metallic TiO and VO, conduction bands originated from metal 3d states become narrower. Then the partial densities of transition metal e_g and t_2g states show an enhanced dip between the two. The effects of static screening and dynamical correlation are discussed in detail in comparison with the results of the Hartree-Fock approximation and the static Coulomb hole plus screened exchange approximation. The d-d Coulomb interaction is shown to be very much reduced by on-site and off-site d-electron screening in TiO and VO. The dielectric function and the energy loss spectrum are also presented and discussed in detail.

description: In recent years, the mean field theory has been applied to the study of neural networks and has achieved a great deal of success. The theory has been applied to various neural network structures, including CNNs, RNNs, Residual networks, and Batch normalization. Inevitably, recent work has also covered the use of dropout. The mean field theory shows that the existence of depth scales that limit the maximum depth of signal propagation and gradient backpropagation. However, the gradient backpropagation is derived under the gradient independence assumption that weights used during feed forward are drawn independently from the ones used in backpropagation. This is not how neural networks are trained in a real setting. Instead, the same weights used in a feed-forward step needs to be carried over to its corresponding backpropagation. Using this realistic condition, we perform theoretical computation on linear dropout networks and a series of experiments on dropout networks. Our empirical results show an interesting phenomenon that the length gradients can backpropagate for a single input and a pair of inputs are governed by the same depth scale. Besides, we study the relationship between variance and mean of statistical metrics of the gradient and shown an emergence of universality. Finally, we investigate the maximum trainable length for deep dropout networks through a series of experiments using MNIST and CIFAR10 and provide a more precise empirical formula that describes the trainable length than original work.

description: Using a log-linear equilibrium displacement model we quantify the impact of the recent domestic tobacco content requirement on US cigarette manufacturing. We investigate effects on US growers and manufacturers, and competing tobacco imports. The policy increased domestic use of US-grown tobacco, but induced a small negative output effect. Tobacco imports decreased substantially. The paper also discusses the political-economic incentives for US manufacturers to comply with such policies. The political cooperation between US growers and manufacturers decreases the opposition of the latter to protectionist policies championed by the former.

description: Autism is increasing in prevalence and is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by impairments in communication skills and social behaviour. Connectomes enable a systems-level representation of the brain with recent interests in understanding the distributed nature of higher order cognitive function using modules or subnetworks. By dividing the connectome according to a central component of the brain critical for its function (it's hub), we investigate network organisation in autism from hub through to peripheral subnetworks. We complement this analysis by extracting features of energy transport computed from heat kernels fitted with increasing time steps. This heat kernel framework is advantageous as it can capture the energy transported in all direct and indirect pathways between pair-wise regions over 'time', with features that have correspondence to small-world properties. We apply our framework to resting-state functional MRI connectomes from a large, publically available autism dataset, ABIDE. We show that energy propagating through the brain over time are different between subnetworks, and that heat kernel features significantly differ between autism and controls. Furthermore, the hub was functionally preserved and similar to controls, however, increasing statistical significance between groups was found in increasingly peripheral subnetworks. Our results support the increasing opinion of non-hub regions playing an important role in functional organisation. This work shows that analysing autism by subnetworks with the heat kernel reflects the atypical activations in peripheral regions as alterations in energy dispersion and may provide useful features towards understanding the distributed impact of this disorder on the functional connectome.

description: Stochastic dominance was used to determine the risk characteristics of phosphate fertilization of millet, sorghum and maize with commercial NPK fertilizer, rock phosphate and partially acidulated rock phosphate in Burkina Faso. On-farm-trial data from 1989, 1990 and 1991 in three rainfall zones was used. The analysis shows that among the four treatments tested, commercial NPK fertilizer has the most desirable risk characteristics. It is acceptable to risk averse decision makers for all three crops in all rainfall zones. The no-fertilizer control is dominated by the fertilizer treatments. The rock phosphate treatments have higher yields and in certain cases higher returns than the no-fertilizer control, but those benefits are less sure than for the soluble commercial fertilizer. The distributions of cash returns to rock phosphate treatments are rarely significantly different from those of the control. Rock phosphate treatments never dominate the commercial fertilizer treatment. If farmers have a choice between commercial fertilizer, rock phosphate and partially acidulated rock phosphate, at current prices most of those who use fertilizer would choose the soluble commercial product. If the availability of commercial fertilizer were limited (e.g. by lack of hard currency), some farmers would use rock phosphate-especially the partially acidulated product. Stochastic dominance permitted a timely and detailed analysis of risk inherent in phosphate fertilizer alternatives. Because on-farm-trails involve a modest number of alternatives, pairwise stochastic dominance comparisons are feasible. The stochastic dominance analysis permits researchers to communicate to extension staff and policymakers not only the degree of risk, but also something about the characteristics of the crop response that contribute to risk. The key to effective use of stochastic dominance is careful study of the distributions and understanding why a technology is dominated or is potentially acceptable to risk averse decisionmakers.
