description: The notion that global agricultural output needs to double by 2050 is oft repeated. Using a new International Agricultural Prospects (iAP) Model, to project global agricultural consumption and production, we find in favour of a future where aggregate agricultural consumption (in tonnes) increases more modestly, by around 69 per cent (1.3 per cent per year) from 2010 to 2050. The principal driver of this result is a deceleration in population growth in the decades ahead. Per capita income growth and changing demographics (generally ageing population) have significant but secondary roles in spurring growth in agricultural consumption, as does our projected growth in the use of agricultural feed stocks to meet the growth we envisage in biofuel demand. Worldwide (but not equally everywhere), crop yield growth has generally slowed over the past decade or so. Notwithstanding a projected continuance of this slowdown, the prospective improvements in crop productivity are still sufficient to reduce per capita cropland use, such that land devoted to crops would need to increase by less than 10 per cent. Even in our upper-bound (high consumption) scenario, we estimate that there remains sufficient productive agricultural land to more than meet the demand without ploughing-in additional forest dominated lands.

 Remarks. Two species of Lauridromia are known from the Philippines: L. intermedia and L. indica, both of which have a carapace width which is approximately equal to the length. The differences between these two species are: in L. intermedia there are three equidistant acute anterolateral teeth on the carapace margin (while in L. indica there are five variable teeth); the inner margins of the dactyli of first two pairs of legs are armed with five small spines (versus the inner margins has eight small spines); the carapace is covered with short coarse tomentum with longer setae on the anterior branchial regions and along the margins (versus the surface is covered by short velvety tomentum); the spermathecal apertures at the end of sternal sutures 7/8 are well separated (versus spermathecal apertures close together); and the fifth and sixth abdominal segments are fused (versus segments only partially fused). The live colour of L. intermedia is orangeyellowish.
 Distribution. Lauridromia intermedia has been reported from the Mindoro Strait, Philippines by McLay (1993); it also occurs in the Indian Ocean, Japan, Timor, Queensland (Australia) and New Caledonia.

description: Expansion of aggregate food supplies within developing countries themselves is strongly associated with reduced undernourishment. It is not sufficient to rely solely on aggregate economic growth or reductions in poverty incidence to deliver improved food security. But the evidence also shows that higher food prices significantly increase the rate of undernourishment. It is therefore important to stimulate agricultural output without raising domestic food prices. Improvements in agricultural productivity achieve that, but agricultural protection aimed at food self-sufficiency does not, because the objective of reducing imports is achieved through an increase in domestic food prices. Although this process delivers benefits to those food insecure people who are net sellers of food, in most poor countries their number is exceeded by the food insecure people who are net buyers of food. Increased food prices make the latter group more food insecure. Food self-sufficiency does not imply food security.

description: We show that the phenomenon of modulational instability in arrays of Bose-Einstein condensates confined to optical lattices gives rise to coherent spatial structures of localized excitations. These excitations represent thin disks in 1D, narrow tubes in 2D, and small hollows in 3D arrays, filled in with condensed atoms of much greater density compared to surrounding array sites. Aspects of the developed pattern depend on the initial distribution function of the condensate over the optical lattice, corresponding to particular points of the Brillouin zone. The long-time behavior of the spatial structures emerging due to modulational instability is characterized by the periodic recurrence to the initial low-density state in a finite optical lattice. We propose a simple way to retain the localized spatial structures with high atomic concentration, which may be of interest for applications. Theoretical model, based on the multiple scale expansion, describes the basic features of the phenomenon. Results of numerical simulations confirm the analytical predictions.

description: Two-dimensional fluid simulations of interchange turbulence for geometry and parameters relevant for the scrape-off layer of confined plasmas are presented. We observe bursty ejection of particles and heat from the bulk plasma in the form of blobs. These structures propagate far into the scrape-off layer where they are lost due to transport along open magnetic field lines. From single-point recordings it is shown that the blobs have asymmetric conditional wave forms and lead to positively skewed and flat probability distribution functions. The radial propagation velocity may reach one tenth of the sound speed. These results are in excellent agreement with recent experimental measurements.

description: Given that a group of cities follows a scaling law connecting urban population with socio-economic or infrastructural metrics (transversal scaling), should we expect that each city would follow the same behavior over time (longitudinal scaling)? This assumption has important policy implications, although rigorous empirical tests have been so far hindered by the lack of suitable data. Here, we advance the debate by looking into the temporal evolution of the scaling laws for 5507 municipalities in Brazil. We focus on the relationship between population size and two urban variables, GDP and water network length, analyzing the time evolution of the system of cities as well as their individual trajectory. We find that longitudinal (individual) scaling exponents are city-specific, but they are distributed around an average value that approaches to the transversal scaling exponent when the data are decomposed to eliminate external factors, and when we only consider cities with a sufficiently large growth rate. Such results give support to the idea that the longitudinal dynamics is a micro-scaling version of the transversal dynamics of the entire urban system. Finally, we propose a mathematical framework that connects the microscopic level to global behavior, and, in all analyzed cases, we find good agreement between theoretical prediction and empirical evidence.

description: People with traumatic brain injury (TBI) describe everyday interactions as a long-term challenge frequently associated with ongoing stress. Communication-specific Coping Intervention (CommCope-I) is a new treatment developed to target coping in the context of communication breakdown. The intervention incorporates principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, self-coaching and context-sensitive social communication therapy. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of CommCope-I in a group of adults with severe TBI and ongoing functional communication difficulties. Participants were 13 adults with severe TBI (GCS = 3–8; mean age = 35.2 years; mean time post-injury = 7.6 years). The project involved three phases: (1) Control/pre-intervention wait phase (multiple assessments), (2) Treatment (6 weeks), and (3) Follow-up (12 weeks). Repeated measures ANOVA with planned pairwise comparisons were used to test the significance of change. Intervention elicited statistically significant improvements in communication-specific coping, functional communication and stress that were maintained for three months. Improved use of communication-specific coping strategies was evident in clinician blind ratings. Clients reported significant reduction in stress at the end of treatment and one and three months later. This intervention provides a promising means of improving communication-specific coping and reducing communication dysfunction and its negative consequences for people with TBI.

description: Retail food prices rose 8.6 percent in 1980, the smallest annual increase since 1977, and significantly less than the 14.6 percent rise in nonfood prices. This helped moderate overall inflation. The farm value of foods in 1980 averaged 5.4 percent above 1979 levels and accounted for about one-fifth of the food price increase. About half of this increase was due to the 8.4 percent rise in the farm-to-retail price spread last year, with the remainder due to prices for fish and imported foods, which averaged 11. 7 percent higher.

description: Machine-learning (ML) techniques are explored to identify and classify hadronic decays of highly Lorentz-boosted W/Z/Higgs bosons and top quarks. Techniques without ML have also been evaluated and are included for comparison. The identification performances of a variety of algorithms are characterized in simulated events and directly compared with data. The algorithms are validated using proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. Systematic uncertainties are assessed by comparing the results obtained using simulation and collision data. The new techniques studied in this paper provide significant performance improvements over non-ML techniques, reducing the background rate by up to an order of magnitude at the same signal efficiency.

A universal opportunity model for human mobility

Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)

description: Predicting human mobility between locations has practical applications in transportation science, spatial economics, sociology and many other fields. For more than 100 years, many human mobility prediction models have been proposed, among which the gravity model analogous to Newton's law of gravitation is widely used. Another classical model is the intervening opportunity (IO) model, which indicates that an individual selecting a destination is related to both the destination's opportunities and the intervening opportunities between the origin and the destination. The IO model established from the perspective of individual selection behavior has recently triggered the establishment of many new IO class models. Although these IO class models can achieve accurate prediction at specific spatiotemporal scales, an IO class model that can describe an individual's destination selection behavior at different spatiotemporal scales is still lacking. Here, we develop a universal opportunity model that considers two human behavioral tendencies: one is the exploratory tendency, and the other is the cautious tendency. Our model establishes a new framework in IO class models and covers the classical radiation model and opportunity priority selection model. Furthermore, we use various mobility data to demonstrate our model's predictive ability. The results show that our model can better predict human mobility than previous IO class models. Moreover, this model can help us better understand the underlying mechanism of the individual's destination selection behavior in different types of human mobility.

Perturbative Gauge Theory As A String Theory In Twistor Space

description: Perturbative scattering amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory have many unexpected properties, such as holomorphy of the maximally helicity violating amplitudes. To interpret these results, we Fourier transform the scattering amplitudes from momentum space to twistor space, and argue that the transformed amplitudes are supported on certain holomorphic curves. This in turn is apparently a consequence of an equivalence between the perturbative expansion of ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory and the $D$-instanton expansion of a certain string theory, namely the topological $B$ model whose target space is the Calabi-Yau supermanifold $\Bbb{CP}^{3|4}$.

description: We present the outcomes of a Chandra X-ray Observatory snapshot study of five nearby Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars which are kinematically linked with the Oph-Sco-Cen Association (OSCA). Optical photometric and spectroscopic followup was conducted for the HD 104237 field. The principal result is the discovery of a compact group of pre-main sequence (PMS) stars associated with HD 104237 and its codistant, comoving B9 neighbor epsilon Chamaeleontis AB. We name the group after the most massive member. The group has five confirmed stellar systems ranging from spectral type B9-M5, including a remarkably high degree of multiplicity for HD 104237 itself. The HD 104237 system is at least a quintet with four low mass PMS companions in nonhierarchical orbits within a projected separation of 1500 AU of the HAeBe primary. Two of the low-mass members of the group are actively accreting classical T Tauri stars. The Chandra observations also increase the census of companions for two of the other four HAeBe stars, HD 141569 and HD 150193, and identify several additional new members of the OSCA. We discuss this work in light of several theoretical issues: the origin of X-rays from HAeBe stars; the uneventful dynamical history of the high-multiplicity HD 104237 system; and the origin of the epsilon Cha group and other OSCA outlying groups in the context of turbulent giant molecular clouds. Together with the similar eta Cha cluster, we paint a portrait of sparse stellar clusters dominated by intermediate-mass stars 5-10 Myr after their formation.

description: We observed the cluster Abell 2218 (z=0.175), with ISOCAM on board the Infrared Space Observatory, using two filters with reference wavelengths of 6.7 and 14.3 microns. We detected 67 extragalactic mid-infrared sources. Using the ``GRASIL'' models of Silva et al. (1998) we have obtained acceptable and well constrained fits to the observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 41 of these sources, for which additional optical/near-infrared magnitudes, and, in some cases, redshifts, were available. We have then determined the total infrared luminosities and star formation rates (SFRs) of these 41 sources, of which 27 are cluster members and 14 are field galaxies at a median redshift z~0.6. The SEDs of most of the ISOCAM cluster members are best fit by models with negligible star formation in the last ~1 Gyr. The 7 faintest cluster members have a slightly higher, but still very mild, star-formation activity. The ISOCAM-selected cluster galaxies appear to be an unbiased subsample of the overall cluster population. If A2218 is undergoing a merger, as suggested by some optical and X-ray analyses, then this merger does not seem to affect the mid-infrared properties of its galaxies. The SEDs of most ISOCAM-selected field sources are best fit by models with significant ongoing (and recent) star formation, resembling those of massive star-forming spirals or (post)starburst galaxies. Their median SFR is 22 solar masses per year. Eight of the 14 field sources are Luminous IR Galaxies. (Abridged)

description: Η νόσος COVID-19 προκαλεί σοβαρό σύνδρομο οξέος αναπνευστικού συνδρόμου και αντιπροσωπεύει μια δυνητικά θανατηφόρα ασθένεια με μεγάλη παγκόσμια σημασία για τη δημόσια υγεία. Tο ξέσπασμα του COVID-19 έχει ως αποτέλεσμα πολλά περισσότερα επιβεβαιωμένα περιστατικά και θανάτους παγκοσμίως, από τις πανδημίες SARS και το αναπνευστικό σύνδρομο της Μέσης Ανατολής (MERS) το 2003 και το 2013, αντίστοιχα. Η επιδημία έχει δημιουργήσει σημαντικές προκλήσεις παγκοσμίως. Επιπλέον, η προέλευση του COVID-19 δεν έχει προσδιοριστεί και δεν υπάρχει διαθέσιμη συγκεκριμένη αντιική θεραπεία ή εμβόλιο. Οι μονάδες εντατικής θεραπείας αντιμετωπίζουν μεγάλη πρόκληση από την πανδημία παγκοσμίως και πρέπει να είναι καλά προετοιμασμένες για τις προκλήσεις και τις ανάγκες που σχετίζονται με αυτήν την πανδημία. Η Ελλάδα αντιμετώπισε τη πρόκληση του κορωνοϊού χάρη στις προσπάθειες και τη πειθαρχεία των πολιτών της αλλά και στη αυξημένη ετοιμότητα και επαγγελματισμό των εργαζομένων στο τομέα της υγείας, με μεγάλο βάρος να πέφτει στο σημαντικότερο, ίσως, εργατικό δυναμικό των νοσοκομείων, τους νοσηλευτές.
description: COVID-19 causes severe acute respiratory syndrome and represents a potentially deadly disease of great global health importance. The outbreak of COVID-19 results in many more confirmed cases and deaths worldwide, than the SARS pandemics and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 2003 and 2013, respectively. The epidemic has posed significant challenges worldwide. In addition, the origin of COVID-19 has not been determined and no specific antiviral therapy or vaccine is available. Intensive care units are facing a major pandemic challenge worldwide and must be well prepared for the challenges and needs associated with this pandemic. Greece has faced the challenge of the coronavirus thanks to the efforts and discipline of its citizens but also to the increased readiness and professionalism of health workers, with a heavy burden falling on perhaps the most important workforce of hospitals, nurses.

On Collisionless Electron-Ion Temperature Equilibration in the Fast Solar Wind

description: We explore a mechanism, entirely new to the fast solar wind, of electron heating by lower hybrid waves to explain the shift to higher charge states observed in various elements in the fast wind at 1 A.U. relative to the original coronal hole plasma. This process is a variation on that previously discussed for two temperature accretion flows by Begelman & Chiueh. Lower hybrid waves are generated by gyrating minor ions (mainly alpha-particles) and become significant once strong ion cyclotron heating sets in beyond 1.5 R_sun. In this way the model avoids conflict with SUMER electron temperature diagnostic measurements between 1 and 1.5 R_sun. The principal requirement for such a process to work is the existence of density gradients in the fast solar wind, with scale length of similar order to the proton inertial length. Similar size structures have previously been inferred by other authors from radio scintillation observations and considerations of ion cyclotron wave generation by global resonant MHD waves.

description: In earlier studies we have proposed that most parton $v_2$ comes from the anisotropic escape of partons, not from the hydrodynamic flow, even for semi-central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. Here we study the flavor dependence of this escape mechanism with a multi-phase transport model. In contrast to naive expectations, we find that the charm $v_2$ is much more sensitive to the hydrodynamic flow than the lighter quark $v_2$, and the fraction of $v_2$ from the escape mechanism decreases strongly with the quark mass for large collision systems. We also find that the light quark collective flow is essential for the charm quark $v_2$. Our finding thus suggests that heavy quark flows are better probes of the quark-gluon-plasma properties than light quark flows.

description: Strong photoluminescent emission has been obtained from 3 nm PbS nanocrystals in aqueous colloidal solution, following treatment with CdS precursors. The observed emission can extend across the entire visible spectrum and usually includes a peak near 1.95 eV. We show that much of the visible emission results from absorption by higher-lying excited states above 3.0 eV with subsequent relaxation to and emission from states lying above the observed band-edge of the PbS nanocrystals. The fluorescent lifetimes for this emission are in the nanosecond regime, characteristic of exciton recombination.

 Diagnosis. Carapace much wider than long, commonly sub­circular. Dorsal surface moderately convex, sparsely spinous (especially in antero­branchial region), areolate, and covered with coarse setae, which are short and long, and arranged in tufts. Lateral carapace margin always well defined, armed with distinct teeth. Frontal groove well marked, splits in 2 posteriorly, cervical, postcervical and branchial grooves usually evident. Frontal carapace margin broadly triangular, continuous, no rostrum or teeth, eyestalks short, eyes protected by well defined orbits. Female sternal sutures 7/8 end well apart on low tubercles behind bases of second walking legs. Antennule can be concealed inside the orbit at base of eyestalk. Antennal flagella shorter than carapace width. All segments of antenna moveable, first article (urinal) always beaked medially and second article has exopod firmly fixed. Third maxillipeds opercular, completely covering buccal cavern, separated at bases by a plate at same level as sternum, basis and ischium of endopod fused but joint always marked by a shallow groove. Crista dentata present. Chelipeds equal, stouter than walking legs, dactylus strongly curved, fingers gaping basally. Last pair of legs very reduced, dactylus rudimentary, forming obsolete sub­chelate mechanism with extension of propodus. Gills usually 19 (including 6 podobranchs) + 7 epipods. Gill structure basically phyllobranchiate but plates very variable in shape. Abdomen of 6 segments and telson, folded loosely under thorax, uropods large, abdominal locking mechanism absent. Both sexes with 5 pairs of pleopods, first pair rudimentary in female, last 3 pairs vestigial in male. Male gonopods uniform in structure, first pair consist of a stout, setose semi­rolled tube with an apical plate, second pair needle­like with numerous sub­distal spines, some of which overlap, sinuously arranged around axis. (Abbreviated after McLay 1999.)
 Type species. Dynomene spinosa Rathbun, 1911, by original designation; gender feminine.
 Included species: Hirsutodynomene spinosa (Rathbun, 1911), Hirsutodynomene ursula (Stimpson, 1860), Hirsutodynomene vespertilio n. sp.
 Remarks: McLay (1999) had provided a detailed description and diagnosis of the genus, and the discovery of this new species from the Philippine Islands does not require any changes to his definition.

description: Η πολλαπλή σκλήρυνση είναι μία αυτοάνοση νόσος του ΚΝΣ που πλήττει κυρίως νεαρούς ενήλικες οδηγώντας συχνά σε σοβαρή αναπηρία. Είναι γνωστό ότι η νόσος προσβάλει συχνά το οπτικό νεύρο με τρόπο εμφανή κλινικά (οπτική νευρίτιδα) αλλά και υποκλινικά. Στην παρούσα εργασία εφαρμόστηκε η OCT αγγειογραφία -μία μέθοδος εξέτασης που εμφανίστηκε τα τελευταία χρόνια- σε έναν πληθυσμό ασθενών με πολλαπλή σκλήρυνση. H ΟCT-αγγειογραφία είναι μία νέα αναίμακτη απεικονιστική μέθοδος που αποτελεί επέκταση της παραδοσιακής OCT και αξιολογεί την κατάσταση του αγγειακού δικτύου διαφόρων περιοχών του οπισθίου πόλου του οφθαλμού (π.χ. οπτική θηλή, ωχρά κηλίδα). Η μέθοδος εφαρμόστηκε σε 30 ασθενείς με ΠΣ που παρακολουθούνται στο νοσοκομείο «Ελληνικός Ερυθρός Σταυρός». Σε κάθε οφθαλμό καταγράφηκε το RNFL, το GCC, η περιθηλαία και η παραωχρική αγγειακή πυκνότητα. Προέκυψε ότι σημαντικό ποσοστό των οφθαλμών παρουσίαζε παθολογικές τιμές των άνωθεν παραμέτρων και ότι οι οφθαλμοί με οπτική νευρίτιδα είχαν μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό παθολογικών τιμών σε σχέση με τους οφθαλμούς χωρίς οπτική νευρίτιδα. Ιδιαίτερα σημαντική διαπίστωση ήταν το ότι η περιθηλαία αγγειακή πυκνότητα ήταν παθολογική σε όλους τους οφθαλμούς, γεγονός που μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί στο μέλλον ως βιοδείκτης. Τέλος δεν προέκυψε κάποια συσχέτιση των παραμέτρων με το EDSS.
description: Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the CNS that mainly affects young adults often leading to severe disability. It is known that the disease often affects the optic nerve either clinically (optic neuritis) or subclinically. In the present study OCT angiography – a method that has emerged recently – was applied to a population of patients with MS. OCT angiography is a new non-interventional method that is an extension of the traditional OCT and evaluates the condition of the vascular network of various areas of the posterior part of the eye (optic nerve head, fovea). The method was applied to 30 patients with MS at the “Red Cross Hospital”. RNFL, GCC, peripapillary and parafoveal vascular density of each eye were recorded. It turned out that a significant percentage of the eyes recorded had abnormal values of the parameters and that the eyes with optic neuritis had a higher percentage of abnormal values than the eyes without optic neuritis. A particularly important finding was that the peripapillary vascular density was abnormal in all eyes which could be used in the future as a biomarker. Finally there was no correlation of the parameters with the EDSS.

Neutrino direction and energy resolution of Askaryan detectors

description: Detection of high-energy neutrinos via the radio technique allows for an exploration of the neutrino energy range from $\sim10^{16}$eV to $\sim10^{20}$eV with unprecedented precision. These Askaryan detectors have matured in two pilot arrays (ARA and ARIANNA) and the construction of a large-scale detector is actively discussed in the community. In this contribution, we present reconstruction techniques to determine the neutrino direction and energy from the observed few-nanoseconds short radio flashes and quantify the resolution of one of such detectors. The reconstruction of the neutrino direction requires a precise measurement of both the signal direction as well as the signal polarization. The reconstruction of the neutrino energy requires, in addition, the measurement of the vertex distance, obtainable from the time difference of two signal paths through the ice, and the viewing angle of the in-ice shower via the frequency spectrum. We discuss the required algorithms and quantify the resolution using a detailed Monte Carlo simulation study.
