description: Excerpts from the report: The data for this study on the role of coupons and special offers in influencing the demand for butter, margarine, shortening, and salad and cooking oils were obtained from a sample of 555 families in Chicago selected from a panel maintained by the Family Survey Bureau, Chicago Tribune Company, who reported their purchases of food products continuously, July 1953 to June 1955. The overall objective of this study was to appraise the influence of consumer deals on the sales of four agricultural products--butter, margarine, shortening, and salad and cooking oils. In recent years, these products have accounted for about 80 percent of the total fats and oils consumed in food. The areas investigated in pursuing the overall objective were: (1) The extent of consumer participation in deals; (2) the characteristics of those families who were most prone to avail themselves of deals; (3) the effect of deals on total volume purchased; and (4) the interproduct substitutions, if any, as a result of deals.

description: GENUS TUTANKHAMEN RATHBUN, 1925
 Remarks: Rathbun (1925) erected this genus for the species Mesorhoea cristatipes A. Milne-Edwards, 1880. The holotype is presumably housed in the MNHN collections in Paris; Rathbun (1925) noted that an additional specimen had been deposited in the Museum of the State University of Iowa. Clark & O’Shea (2001) reported an undetermined species of Tutankhamen from vents at the Kermadec Ridge. Records of this genus are lacking from the accounts of Australian Crustacea by Davie (2002) and Poore (2004).

description: Quantum Finance represents the synthesis of the techniques of quantum theory (quantum mechanics and quantum field theory) to theoretical and applied finance. After a brief overview of the connection between these fields, we illustrate some of the methods of lattice simulations of path integrals for the pricing of options. The ideas are sketched out for simple models, such as the Black-Scholes model, where analytical and numerical results are compared. Application of the method to nonlinear systems is also briefly overviewed. More general models, for exotic or path-dependent options are discussed.

description: We study the local cohomology modules H^i_B(R) for a reduced monomial ideal B in a polynomial ring R=k[X_1,...,X_n]. We consider a grading on R which is coarser than the Z^n-grading such that each component of H^i_B(R) is finite dimensional and we give an effective way to compute these components. Using Cox's description for sheaves on toric varieties, we apply these results to compute the cohomology of coherent sheaves on toric varieties. We give algorithms for this computation which have been implemented in the Macaulay 2 system. We obtain also a topological description for the cohomology of rank one torsionfree sheaves on toric varieties.

These reports are part of a broad program of research designed to reduce the cost of marketing farm products, including the cost of preventing insect infestation in stored grain. A study of the effectiveness of malathion emulsion sprays and methoxychlor dusts in protecting shelled corn from insect attack during an 8-month storage period in the Southeast was carried on from May 1957 to February 1958. Malathion emulsion sprays were applied at 5, 10, 15, and 20 parts per million (p.p.m. ) of technical premium grade malathion; and methoxychlor dusts were applied at 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 p.p.m. of technical methoxychlor. At the time of treatment, the corn averaged 13.76 percent of moisture, test weight was 56.95 pounds per bushel, and 16.9 percent of the kernels were damaged.

description: We analyze the integrability properties of models defined on the symmetric space SU(2)/U(1) in 3+1 dimensions, using a recently proposed approach for integrable theories in any dimension. We point out the key ingredients for a theory to possess an infinite number of local conservation laws, and discuss classes of models with such property. We propose a 3+1-dimensional, relativistic invariant field theory possessing a toroidal soliton solution carrying a unit of topological charge given by the Hopf map. Construction of the action is guided by the requirement that the energy of static configuration should be scale invariant. The solution is constructed exactly. The model possesses an infinite number of local conserved currents. The method is also applied to the Skyrme-Faddeev model, and integrable submodels are proposed.

description: This paper explores the Cuban case to understand how contentious voices have managed to bridge asymmetries of access to public space thanks to their critical use of new information and communication technologies (NICTs) Internet. I argue that we need to look at how contentious uses of NICTs have reinforced existing processes on the island, while creating new channels of expression and linkage. The paper shows that the transnational dynamics of linkage put into place by a lively web of émigrés, Cuban activists and intellectuals as well as foreign journalists and scholars have allowed for the convergence of contentious micro arenas which already existed but were formerly segmented. This process of convergence has in turn allowed for the emergence of a more intricate public space and for the creation of a somewhat autonomous contentious space. Although this evolution of the Cuban regime is positive as far as freedom of speech, it is clear that new inequalities in access to voice emerge: the protagonists of those new social spaces are limited to specific social categories, namely the urban, young and highly educated.

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the possibility of simultaneously addressing neutrino phenomenology and the dark matter in the framework of inverse seesaw. The model is the extension of the standard model by the addition of two right handed neutrinos and three sterile fermions which leads to a light sterile state with the mass in the keV range along with three light active neutrino states. The lightest sterile neutrino can account for a feasible dark matter(DM) candidate. We present a $S_{4}$ flavor symmetric model which is further augmented by $Z_{4}\times Z_{3}$ symmetry to constrain the Yukawa Lagrangian. The structures of the mass matrices involved in inverse seesaw within the $S_{4}$ framework naturally give rise to correct neutrino mass matrix with non-zero reactor mixing angle $ θ_{13}$. In this framework, we conduct a detailed numerical analysis both for normal hierarchy as well as inverted hierarchy to obtain dark matter mass and DM-active mixing which are the key factors for considering sterile neutrino as a viable dark matter candidate. We constrain the parameter space of the model from the latest cosmological bounds on the mass of the dark matter and DM-active mixing.

description: Urinary stone disease, particularly calcium oxalate, is common in both humans and cats. Calcifying nanoparticles (CNP) are spherical nanocrystallite material, and are composed of proteins (fetuin, albumin) and inorganic minerals. CNP are suggested to play a role in a wide array of pathologic mineralization syndromes including urolithiasis. We documented the development of a clinically relevant protocol to assess urinary CNP in 9 healthy cats consuming the same diet in a controlled environment using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA®). NTA® is a novel method that allows for characterization of the CNP in an efficient, accurate method that can differentiate these particles from other urinary submicron particulates. The predominant nanoscale particles in feline urine are characteristic of CNP in terms of their size, their ability to spontaneously form under suitable conditions, and the presence of an outer layer that is rich in calcium and capable of binding to hydroxyapatite binders such as alendronate and osteopontin. The expansion of this particle population can be suppressed by the addition of citrate to urine samples. Further, compounds targeting exosomal surfaces do not label these particulates. As CNP have been associated with a number of significant urologic maladies, the method described herein may prove to be a useful adjunct in evaluating lithogenesis risk in mammals.

description: The antagonistic interactions between microorganisms in the environment seem to play a key role in determining the spatial structuring of bacterial communities. In this work, the antagonistic interactions among 82 strains belonging to different Pseudomonas species isolated from six different environmental niches have been investigated to check whether it might be related to the environmental niches and/or to the taxonomical affiliation. The bacterial panel included 20 strains from Echinacea purpurea (12 from roots, 8 from the rhizosphere), 19 from Phragmites australis, 20 from the Acquarossa river (13 and 7 from red and black epilithon, respectively), 9 strains from red epilithon of the “Infernaccio waterfalls”, 5 Antarctic strains, and 9 strains from the Amazon rainforest. Data obtained revealed that 81 out of the 82 strains exhibited an antagonistic activity (even though at a different extent) and that the environmental characteristics, which also determine different adaptative strategies, might be the main factor affecting antagonism among bacteria, even more than taxonomy. Strains isolated from heavy metal enriched river biofilms were described as the most active, while endophytic and rhizospheric strains were the most sensitive. This research, representing the first report in which Pseudomonas bacterial strains isolated from different ecological niches have been tested for their interaction abilities, opens new perspectives in discovering putative new antimicrobial compounds from different (extreme) environments.

Isotropic-nematic phase equilibria of polydisperse hard rods: The effect of fat tails in the length distribution

description: We study the phase behaviour of hard rods with length polydispersity, treated within a simplified version of the Onsager model. We give a detailed description of the unusual phase behaviour of the system when the rod length distribution has a "fat" (e.g. log-normal) tail up to some finite cutoff. The relatively large number of long rods in the system strongly influences the phase behaviour: the isotropic cloud curve, which defines the where a nematic phase first occurs as density is increased, exhibits a kink; at this point the properties of the coexisting nematic shadow phase change discontinuously. A narrow three-phase isotropic-nematic-nematic coexistence region exists near the kink in the cloud curve, even though the length distribution is unimodal. A theoretical derivation of the isotropic cloud curve and nematic shadow curve, in the limit of large cutoff, is also given. The two curves are shown to collapse onto each other in the limit. The coexisting isotropic and nematic phases are essentially identical, the only difference being that the nematic contains a larger number of the longest rods; the longer rods are also the only ones that show any significant nematic ordering. Numerical results for finite but large cutoff support the theoretical predictions for the asymptotic scaling of all quantities with the cutoff length.

 Type locality: ‘ad oras Oregonenses’ (Oregon; type not extant) (Rathbun, 1925).
 Known range: Western coast of North America, from the Alaskan Peninsula to San Diego, and east to Japan (though possibly a subspecies), 33–119 m (as 18– 650 fathoms) (Rathbun, 1925).
 Occurrence at vents and seeps: Reported from seeps in Monterey Canyon (see below).
 Material: None known from vents or seeps; see Rathbun (1925) for USNM holdings from other areas.
 Remarks: Rathbun (1925) commented on the subspecies that had been described as occurring from Monterey south to San Diego (C. longipes turgida) and from Japan (C. longipes japonica); not all subsequent workers have recognized the southern California subspecies as distinct (see McLaughlin et al., 2005). The species was reported from seeps in Monterey Canyon, California (Barry et al., 1996), which is the intermediate point between northern and southern subspecies (Rathbun, 1925).

description: Point functionalized carbon nanotubes have recently demonstrated the ability to serve as single-molecule biosensors. Operating as single-molecule Field-Effect Transistors (smFET), the sensors have been used to explore activity ranging in scope from DNA hybridization kinetics to DNA polymerase functionality. High signal levels and an all-electronic label-free transduction mechanism make the smFET an attractive candidate for next-generation medical diagnostics platforms and high-bandwidth basic science research studies. In this work, carbon nanotubes are integrated onto a custom designed CMOS chip. Integration enables arraying many devices for measurement, providing the requisite scale-up for any commercial application of smFETs. Integration also provides substantial benefits towards achieving high bandwidths through the reduction of electrical parasitics. In a first exploitation of these high-bandwidth measurement capabilities, integrated devices are electrically characterized over a 1-MHz bandwidth. Functionalization through electrochemical oxidation of the devices is observed with microsecond temporal resolution, revealing complex reaction pathways with resolvable scattering signatures. High rate random telegraph noise (RTN) is observed in certain oxidized devices, further illustrating the temporal resolution of the integrated sensing platform.
On the effect of charge self-consistency in DFT+DMFT calculations for complex transition metal oxides

description: We investigate the effect of charge self-consistency (CSC) in density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) calculations compared to simpler "one-shot" calculations for materials where interaction effects lead to a strong redistribution of electronic charges between different orbitals or between different sites. We focus on two systems close to a metal-insulator transition, for which the importance of CSC is currently not well understood. Specifically, we analyze the strain-related orbital polarization in the correlated metal CaVO$_3$ and the spontaneous electronic charge disproportionation in the rare-earth nickelate LuNiO$_3$. In both cases, we find that the CSC treatment reduces the charge redistribution compared to cheaper one-shot calculations. However, while the MIT in CaVO$_3$ is only slightly shifted due to the reduced orbital polarization, the effect of the site polarization on the MIT in LuNiO$_3$ is more subtle. Furthermore, we highlight the role of the double-counting correction in CSC calculations containing different inequivalent sites.

On minimal parabolic functions and time-homogeneous parabolic h-transforms

description: Does a minimal harmonic function $h$ remain minimal when it is viewed as a parabolic function? The question is answered for a class of long thin semi-infinite tubes $D\subset \R^d$ of variable width and minimal harmonic functions $h$ corresponding to the boundary point of $D$ ``at infinity.'' Suppose $f(u)$ is the width of the tube $u$ units away from its endpoint and $f$ is a Lipschitz function. The answer to the question is affirmative if and only if $\int^\infty f^3(u)du = \infty$. If the test fails, there exist parabolic $h$-transforms of space-time Brownian motion in $D$ with infinite lifetime which are not time-homogenous.

description: In this paper, we present the complete structure of a quasi-Keplerian thin accretion disk with an internal dynamo around a magnetized neutron star. We assume a full quasi-Keplerian disk with the azimuthal velocity deviating from the Keplerian fashion by a factor of $ξ$ ($01$ (for $ξ<1$), and the position of the inner edge with respect to the new corotation radius is also relocated accordingly, as compared to the Keplerian model. The resulting PGF torque couples with viscous torque (when $ξ<1$) to provide a spin-down torque and a spin-up torque (when $ξ>1$) while in the advective state. Therefore, neglecting the PGF, as has been the case in previous models, is a glaring omission. Our result has the potential to explain the observable dynamic consequences of accretion disks around magnetized neutron stars.

A revision of the standard gauge transformation properties of Yang-Mills fields, according to a group approach to quantization scheme, enables the gauge group coordinates to acquire dynamical content outside the null mass shell. The corresponding extra (internal) field degrees of freedom are transferred to the vector potentials to conform massive vector bosons.

More specifically, both turkey growers and turkey processors have been concerned with the comparative accuracy and equity of pricing turkeys on the live basis and on the ready-to-cook basis. Both groups are interested in a pricing method that will improve their industry and give them fair returns. Although turkeys have been purchased from growers in several major producing areas on a ready-to-cook grade and yield basis for a number of years, definite information on the comparative accuracy and equity of this pricing method has not hitherto been available. Therefore, this study was conducted in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Virginia in 1957 and 1958 to obtain such information.

description: We define on the universal enveloping superalgebra of osp(1|2n) a nonstandard adjoint action, endowing it with a module structure. This allows, in particular, to construct a bosonic operator which anticommutes with all the fermionic generators and which appears to be the square root of a certain Casimir operator.

description: Efficiently identifying commercial and improvised explosives is a crucial prerequisite for disarming and disposing of these dangerous materials. In conjunction with traditional techniques (e.g., ion mobility spectrometry and mass spectrometry), electrochemical sensors can function as low-form factor and inexpensive options to quickly identify chemical threats. In particular, organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have many attractive properties, and they have become viable options for biosensing. OECTs employ a simple geometry consisting of a conducting polymer active layer and an electrolyte controlled by a gate electrode. In turn, this provides a means for the solution-phase detection in short times. Here, the OECT architecture was extended to the challenge of explosive trace detection. These sensors were adapted to detect several families of explosives (i.e., acid-salts, nitroaromatics, nitroamines, nitrate-esters, and peroxides). Many of these sensors incorporated molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) to improve chemical selectivity. These MIPs were shown to introduce size exclusive properties to the OECTs, which can be leveraged to detect acid salts explosives. MIPs that were complementary to nitrated explosives (nitroaromatics, nitroamines, and nitrate-esters) also were prepared. These MIPs can adsorb their respective explosive decreasing their polymer porosity and ion-transport. Finally, a stand-alone OECT design was applied to detect peroxide-based explosives. These explosives were decomposed to hydrogen peroxide intermediates. The evolved hydrogen peroxide was then identified as it was electro-oxidized at the gate electrode. After establishing the viability of the discussed techniques, two new directions for designing OECT sensors were proposed. Finally, these two outlooks were combined as a potential strategy for directly detecting peroxide-based explosives. While only a small subset of explosives was considered, the strategies applied were not unique to these specific targets. Indeed, these OECTs detecting principles could be applied to a broader scope of explosives detection as well as novel chemical sensing horizons.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Rapid changes in processing of oilseeds after World War II have continued during the period from 1952-53 to 1957-58. The principal changes have been in types of processing equipment and sizes of plants. Since the 1952-53 processing season, there also has been a continued decrease in the number of mills processing the various oilseeds, while the quantity processed per mill has continued to rise. This rise in capacity per mill is due to the expansion of facilities of active mills and the building of larger and more efficient new mills. The purpose of this report is to show how processors, refiners, and manufacturers of products using vegetable oils have adjusted their respective industries to handle the expanded output, as a guide in improving efficiency. Any savings effected in the processing and marketing of these products through increased efficiencies can be reflected in the returns to growers and the prices paid by consumers.

description: Continuous unitary transformations can be used to diagonalize or approximately diagonalize a given Hamiltonian. In the last four years, this method has been applied to a variety of models of condensed matter physics and field theory. With a new generator for the continuous unitary transformation proposed in this paper one can avoid some of the problems of former applications. General properties of the new generator are derived. It turns out that the new generator is especially useful for Hamiltonians with a banded structure. Two examples, the Lipkin model, and the spin--boson model are discussed in detail.

description: Online content delivery has witnessed dramatic growth recently with traffic consuming over half of today’s Internet bandwidth. This escalating demand has motivated content publishers to move outside the traditional solutions of infrastructure-based content delivery networks (CDNs). Instead, many are employing peer-to-peer data transfers to reduce the service cost and avoid bandwidth over-provision to handle peak demands. Unfortunately, the open access work model of this paradigm, which allows anyone to join, introduces several design challenges related to security, efficiency, and peer availability. In this dissertation, we introduce CacheCash, a cryptocurrency-based decentralized content distribution network designed to address these challenges. CacheCash bypasses the centralized approach of CDN companies for one in which end users organically set up new caches in exchange for cryptocurrency tokens. Thus, it enables publishers to hire caches on an as-needed basis, without constraining these parties with long-term business commitments. To address the challenges encountered as the system evolved, we propose a number of protocols and techniques that represent basic building blocks of CacheCash’s design. First, motivated by the observation that conventional security assessment tools do not suit cryptocurrency-based systems, we propose ABC, a threat modeling framework capable of identifying attacker collusion and the new threat vectors that cryptocurrencies introduce. Second, we propose CAPnet, a defense mechanism against cache accounting attacks (i.e., a client pretends to be served allowing a colluding cache to collect rewards without doing any work). CAPnet features a bandwidth expenditure puzzle that clients must solve over the content before caches are given credit, which bounds the effectiveness of this collusion case. Third, to make it feasible to reward caches per data chunk served, we introduce MicroCash, a decentralized probabilistic micropayment scheme that reduces the overhead of processing these small payments. MicroCash implements several novel ideas that make micropayments more suitable for delay-sensitive applications, such as online content delivery. CacheCash combines the previous techniques to produce a novel service-payment exchange protocol that secures the content distribution process. This protocol utilizes gradual content disclosure and partial payment collection to encourage the honest collaborative work between participants. We present a detailed game theoretic analysis showing how to exploit rational financial incentives to address several security threats. This is in addition to various performance optimization mechanisms that promote system efficiency and scalability. Lastly, we evaluate system performance and show that modest machines can serve/retrieve content at a high bitrate with minimal overhead.

description: We calculate the intersubband absorption linewidth in quantum wells (QWs) due to scattering by interface roughness, LO phonons, LA phonons, alloy disorder, and ionized impurities, and compare it with the transport energy broadening that corresponds to the transport relaxation time related to electron mobility. Numerical calculations for GaAs QWs clarify the different contributions of each individual scattering mechanism to absorption linewidth and transport broadening. Interface roughness scattering contributes about an order of magnitude more to linewidth than to transport broadening, because the contribution from the intrasubband scattering in the first excited subband is much larger than that in the ground subband. On the other hand, LO phonon scattering (at room temperature) and ionized impurity scattering contribute much less to linewidth than to transport broadening. LA phonon scattering makes comparable contributions to linewidth and transport broadening, and so does alloy disorder scattering. The combination of these contributions with significantly different characteristics makes the absolute values of linewidth and transport broadening very different, and leads to the apparent lack of correlation between them when a parameter, such as temperature or alloy composition, is changed. Our numerical calculations can quantitatively explain the previously reported experimental results.

description: Hydra vulgaris is a Cnidarian species with a life cycle containing only a polyp stage, and with a simple body plan in which ectodermal and endodermal epitheliomuscular cells play many roles.  These two epithelia generate motion of the polyp by exerting contractile force on myonemes.  The function of this musculature was studied on a system scale using whole-animal calcium imaging to measure functional activity in all epitheliomuscular cells simultaneously.  This approach maps the diversity of functional activation patterns underlying the behavior of Hydra, and reveals that individual epitheliomuscular cells participate in multiple patterns using at least two different types of calcium signaling that propagate by different mechanisms and at vastly different rates.  These studies establish the functional basis for the epithelial muscle systems of Cnidaria, revealing new operational principles and deep evolutionary ties to mechanisms of contractile activity that exist elsewhere in Metazoa.

description: Background: Elastomeric infusion pumps are widely used in the delivery of parenteral medications in the home, but real-life conditions may not match calibration or standardised testing conditions. This study investigated the impact of changes in infusion pump height and/or back pressure on infusion pump function. Methods: Volume delivered after one day, infusion duration, average and peak flow rates and time spent within stated accuracy were determined for four elastomeric and one electronic pump using gravimetric technique. Experiments were repeated after altering the height of the pump relative to the output (±40cm, ±20cm) and/or adding a back pressure (10-30mmHg) to the output of an attached catheter. Results: Under ideal operating conditions, the flow rate deviated from that specified by the manufacturer and between 88.5% and 99% of the total infusion volume was delivered. Varying the height or applying back pressure led to further changes in average flow rates and the volume of infusion solution delivered by the elastomeric pumps, but had little effect on the electronic pump. Conclusions: Clinicians should consider potential impact on drug delivery, safety and therapeutic effect for home infusion patients given variations in infusion pump performance observed in this study.
