description: Familial clustering of PA exists among a population-based study, supporting a genetic susceptibility leading to PA. There are increased co-aggregation of MACEs in first-degree relatives of PA patients. Screening for first-degree relatives of PA patients could lead to early diagnosis and targeted treatment of un-diagnosed PA.

description: The use of distances based on optimal transportation has recently shown promise for discrimination of power spectra. In particular, spectral estimation methods based on l1 regularization as well as covariance based methods can be shown to be robust with respect to such distances. These transportation distances provide a geometric framework where geodesics corresponds to smooth transition of spectral mass, and have been useful for tracking. In this paper, we investigate the use of these distances for automatic target recognition. We study the use of the Monge-Kantorovich distance compared to the standard l2 distance for classifying civilian vehicles based on SAR images. We use a version of the Monge-Kantorovich distance that applies also for the case where the spectra may have different total mass, and we formulate the optimization problem as a minimum flow problem that can be computed using efficient algorithms.

description: Annotated speech corpora are databases consisting of signal data along with time-aligned symbolic `transcriptions'. Such databases are typically multidimensional, heterogeneous and dynamic. These properties present a number of tough challenges for representation and query. The temporal nature of the data adds an additional layer of complexity. This paper presents and harmonises two independent efforts to model annotated speech databases, one at Macquarie University and one at the University of Pennsylvania. Various query languages are described, along with illustrative applications to a variety of analytical problems. The research reported here forms a part of several ongoing projects to develop platform-independent open-source tools for creating, browsing, searching, querying and transforming linguistic databases, and to disseminate large linguistic databases over the internet.

Dual variables and a connection picture for the Euclidean Barrett-Crane model

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The partition function of the SO(4)- or Spin(4)-symmetric Euclidean Barrett-Crane model can be understood as a sum over all quantized geometries of a given triangulation of a four-manifold. In the original formulation, the variables of the model are balanced representations of SO(4) which describe the quantized areas of the triangles. We present an exact duality transformation for the full quantum theory and reformulate the model in terms of new variables which can be understood as variables conjugate to the quantized areas. The new variables are pairs of S^3-values associated to the tetrahedra. These S^3-variables parameterize the hyperplanes spanned by the tetrahedra (locally embedded in R^4), and the fact that there is a pair of variables for each tetrahedron can be viewed as a consequence of an SO(4)-valued parallel transport along the edges dual to the tetrahedra. We reconstruct the parallel transport of which only the action of SO(4) on S^3 is physically relevant and rewrite the Barrett-Crane model as an SO(4) lattice BF-theory living on the 2-complex dual to the triangulation subject to suitable constraints whose form we derive at the quantum level. Our reformulation of the Barrett-Crane model in terms of continuous variables is suitable for the application of various analytical and numerical techniques familiar from Statistical Mechanics.

 Coluber mortuarius Daudin, 1803: 187; based on Russell (1796: 33, pl. 28, “Naugealled Keaka”).—Type locality. “Bengale, aux environs de Ganjam”, namely “Bengal, near Ganjam”, State of Orissa, India.—Onomatophore. Holotype: specimen depicted by Russell (1796: pl. 28).
 Status. A taxon here regarded as a subjective synonym of Xenochrophis piscator (Schneider, 1799). Synonymized (in error) with Coluber stolatus Linnaeus, 1758 by Merrem (1820: 123); synonymized with Tropidonotus umbratus Daudin by Schlegel (1837: 309). This taxon is available as X. mortuarius should dark coloured, large specimens inhabiting northeastern India prove to be distinct from X. piscator as defined below.
Comments. Russell’s specimen has an especially dark pattern. We have met this obscured pattern mostly in specimens from northeastern India, often associated with a large size in adult females (see below). The status of the holotype of this species and of others depicted by Russell not mentioned here is planned to be discussed elsewhere.

description: Livestock urine deposition onto grazed New Zealand pastures drives soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Urine patch N2O emissions can be reduced by inhibiting nitrification, a key urine patch nitrogen (N) transformation pathway. Aucubin, a secondary metabolite found in the pasture herb species plantain (Plantago lanceolata), is a potential nitrification inhibitor and could be excreted in urine by animals grazing plantain. In this laboratory trial, three rates of aucubin application (10, 50, and 100% of the highest theoretical aucubin excretion rate from cows grazing 100% plantain pasture) were added to urine and assessed for their potential to inhibit nitrification and subsequent N2O emissions. Significantly reduced N2O flux and soil NO3− concentrations, aligned with significantly increased soil NH4+ and soil surface pH, indicated that aucubin inhibited nitrification from 5 to 17 days after urine application. However, this period of inhibition was not sufficient to reduce overall N2O emissions during the 35 day experiment.

 Although this species has been reported from Trinidad (Druce 1907; Kaye 1914, 1921; Barcant 1970; Lewis 1974; D’Abrera 1995), thus far all specimens have proved to be M. ecbatana.

Simmonds (1930, 1933) reports S. leucophaeus feeding on berries of Clidemia hirta in Trinidad, but this is most probably an error for Ostrinotes tympania, which is commonly reared from flowers and berries of this plant. The record is repeated in Waterhouse and Norris (1987).

 Status. Not a member of the Xenochrophis piscator -complex, this taxon should be removed from the synonymy of Tropidonotus umbratus and other synonyms of X. piscator.
 Comments. Schlegel (1837) and Cantor (1847: 90) regarded this species as a synonym of Tropidonotus umbratus (Daudin, 1803). However, the description of the holotype of Coluber atratus Herrmann, 1804 shows that this taxon is not referable to the genus Xenochrophis. Furthermore, both Schlegel (1837) and Cantor (1847: 90) mentioned another taxon, supposedly described by Herrmann (1804), C. brunneus. We could not find any mention of this taxon in Herrmann’s book, and we cannot comment on its status.

description: The present study has been carried out in the Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh on economic analysis of menthol mint cultivation in the year 2010. The economics has been worked out by comparing costs and returns at different stages by the conventional method. The linear production function has been fitted to evaluate the resources-use efficiency in the production of menthol mint. The study has shown that the major portion of operational cost is shared by hired labour, interculture operations, distillation charges, irrigation and machine / tractor charge. The overall benefit-cost ratio has been found to be 2.55, which indicates a higher profit for farmers on less investment in mint cultivation. The independent variables like human labour, machinery, manures and fertilizer, irrigation charges and intercultural operations have shown a positive and significant impact on the returns of mentha crop in the study area. The major problems faced by the farmers are high input cost, erratic supply of electricity, lack of adequate information, infrastructural facilities, regulated markets and energy-efficient distillation units.

description: Most galactic nuclei are now believed to harbour supermassive black holes. Studies of stellar motions in the central few light-years of our Milky Way Galaxy indicate the presence of a dark object with a mass of about 2.6 million solar masses. This object is spatially coincident with Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the unique compact radio source located at the dynamical centre of our Galaxy. By analogy with distant quasars and nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN), Sgr A* is thought to be powered by the gravitational potential energy released by matter as it accretes onto a supermassive black hole. However, Sgr A* is much fainter than expected in all wavebands, especially in X-rays, casting some doubt on this model. Recently, we reported the first strong evidence of X-ray emission from Sgr A*. Here we report the discovery of rapid X-ray flaring from the direction of Sgr A*. These data provide compelling evidence that the X-ray emission is coming from accretion onto a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Centre, and the nature of the variations provides strong constraints on the astrophysical processes near the event horizon of the black hole.

description: Let $ω$ be a differential $q$-form defining a foliation of codimension $q$ in a projective variety. In this article we study the singular locus of $ω$ in various settings. We relate a certain type of singularities, which we name \emph{persistent}, with the unfoldings of $ω$, generalizing previous work done on foliations of codimension $1$ in projective space. We also relate the absence of persistent singularities with the existence of a connection in the sheaf of $1$-forms defining the foliation. In the latter parts of the article we extend some of these results to toric varieties by making computations on the Cox ring and modules over this ring.

(2) Each protostar is driving its own molecular outflow. The outflow from IRS1 is much larger in extent, is more massive, and dominates the CO emission. (3) Both protostars are associated with Herbig-Haro objects and shock excited 2.122 micron H2 v=1-0S(1) emission, which coincide spatially with their CO outflows. (4) IRS1 is associated with cm continuum emission, with a flat or rising spectrum which is consistent with free-free emission, a signpost of protostellar origin.

description: The archaeological site of Ghazali (northern Sudan) provides a rare opportunity to investigate the dynamics of mixed economies and mobility on the fringes on the Nile valley at the time of Christian expansion in Nubia. Thanks to its particular hydrological conditions, Sudan has a long history of diverse groups pursuing different economic activities, with agricultural communities settled along the fertile Nile valley and various mobile pastoralists groups occupying vast areas of the adjacent deserts. Ghazali represents an early medieval Nubian rural site with an extensive funerary zone. Somewhat removed from the Nile valley, Ghazali extends along the western bank of a large wadi, Wadi Abu Dom, running across the Bayuda desert, dated ca. 7th–13th century CE. Multi-isotopic analysis of human tooth enamel from Cemeteries 1, 3, and 4 was used to explore patterns of mobility among these communities. Ten enamel samples were subjected to 87Sr/86Sr analysis, while 24 individuals were studied for their d18O values. 87Sr/86Sr and d18O values were very heterogeneous, suggesting that the Ghazali community, as a whole, benefited from a variety of water sources, perhaps including significant contributions from groundwater wells. We suggest that this adds further support for the reconstruction of a mixed practice of agriculture and animal herding in the neighbouring Bayuda desert. These data add to growing evidence for diverse and flexible mixed economies in eastern Africa that provided food security even under the most challenging of conditions.

description: The study has assessed the economics and sustainability of SRI (system of rice intensification) and traditional methods of paddy cultivation in North Coastal Zone of Andhra Pradesh for the period 2008-09, based on the data of costs and returns of crop. Apart from budgeting techniques, benefit-cost ratio (BCR), yield gap analysis, sustainability index and response priority index have been employed in the study. It has shown that BCR is higher for SRI (1.76) than traditional (1.25) methods. Further, there is a 31 per cent yield gap between SRI and traditional methods, in which cultural practices (20.15%) have shown a stronger effect than input use (10.85%). The most important constraint in SRI cultivation has been identified as ‘nursery management’. The SRI method being more skill oriented, the study has observed that yields can be made sustainable if constraints are addressed on war-footing basis.

description: The study conducted in the state of Manipur, has identified the factors affecting monocropping of rice as the cropping intensity of the state is only 107 per cent. Multistage random sampling has been followed to select the districts, blocks, villages and finally the farmers and logit model has been used for the analysis. The study has observed that availing of institutional credit and educational level are among the important factors which decrease monocropping. The study has highlighted the need for focus on crop diversification and increasing cropping intensity. Strengthening of co-operative societies, increasing availability and accessibility to credit facilities, increasing awareness about new technologies, etc. will help in increasing the cropping intensity, thereby using the available rich resources to the optimum level in the state.

 Amphiesma flavipunctatum Hallowell, 1861: 503.—Type locality by virtue of neotype designation: “ Island of Hong Kong ”, People’s Republic of China.—Onomatophore. Neotype, by present designation: USNM 7387.
Status. A valid species, for populations of southeastern Asia sharing the characters defined below.
 Comments. Hallowell had two specimens at hands, one from Hong Kong, collected by the North Pacific Exploring Expedition, and one previously deposited in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. Hallowell clearly stated that the description was made only from the ANSP specimen, stated to be in much better condition, and, indeed only the characters of a single specimen were given by Hallowell. As a consequence, the original type locality was “Canton River”, now Zhu Jiang River, Guangdong Province, People’s Republic of China. The holotype was presumably ANSP 6616; see Zug et al., 2006; lost according to Zug et al. (2006) and N. Gilmore (pers. comm., February 2009).
 In contrast to Zug et al. (2006) and in agreement with Article 73.1.2 of the Code, we consider that the original description was based on a holotype and not on two syntypes. As a consequence, the designation of a lectotype made by Zug et al. (2006) is invalid according to the Code (Article 74.2). In fact, Zug et al. (2006) involuntarily designated a neotype, based on the fact that the holotype is lost. The problem is that their “potential” designation of a neotype is also invalid, as it does not comply with dispositions of Article 75 of the Code. In agreement with Article 75.3 of the Code, we select as neotype the specimen USNM 7387, previously designated as lectotype in Zug et al. (2006). This action is justified by (1) the need to fix the nomenclatural status of Amphiesma flavipunctatum Hallowell, 1861, (2) the destruction of the holotype, and (3) the proximity between the localities of the holotype and of the neotype.
 Neotype: USNM 7387, a juvenile male from “Island of Hong Kong ”, collected by the North Pacific Exploring Expedition (Fig. 9–11). This specimen was described by Zug et al. (2006: 165).

Polaronic inter-acceptor hopping transport in intrinsically doped nickel oxide

description: In this work, we revisit the issue of the nature of electronic transport in nickel oxide (NiO) and show that the widely used model of free small polaron hopping, initially raised to characterize transport in high-purity samples, is not appropriate for modeling intrinsically doped NiO. Instead, we present extensive evidence, collected by means of temperature- and frequency-dependent measurements of the electrical conductivity $σ$, that the model of polaronic inter-acceptor hopping can be used to consistently explain the electronic conduction process. In this framework, holes are localized to acceptors (Ni vacancies), forming a strongly bound, polaron-like state. They can only move through the film by hopping to a neighboring, at least partially unoccupied, acceptor. This renders the spatial overlap between neighboring polaronic wave functions a highly critical parameter. The signature of this process is the occurrence of two temperature regions of the DC conductivity, separated by about half the Debye temperature $θ_D/2 \approx 200 K$. For $T > θ_D/2$, holes are transferred by phonon-assisted hopping over the potential barrier between two sites, whereas phonon-assisted tunneling through the barrier dominates below that temperature. We also show that the degree of structural and electronic disorder plays a vital role in determining the characteristics of the transport process: high disorder leads to strong energetic broadening of the acceptor states such that hopping to more distant sites may be favored over transfer to nearest neighbors (variable range hopping). The assumption of high binding energies of the charge carriers at VNi is in accordance with the recent paradigm shift regarding the understanding of the electronic structure of NiO: holes doped into NiO couple to Ni 3d spins, thereby occupying deep polaron-like states within the band gap (Zhang-Rice bound doublets).
Dynamical and thermodynamical contributions to the mid-latitude atmospheric response to Arctic sea ice decline

description: Previous climate model studies have shown that Arctic sea ice decline can solely affect weather and climate at lower latitudes during the cold season. However, the mechanisms beneath this linkage are poorly understood. Whether sea ice loss have had an influence on the lower latitudes climate over the past decades is also uncertain (Barnes and Screen 2015). The goal of this work is to better understand the relative contributions of dyncamical and thermodynamical changes in the atmospheric response to Arctic sea ice loss, which have been suggested to oppose each other (Screen 2017). We conducted two sets of sensitivity transient experiments that allow to isolate the effect of Arctic sea ice decline on the mid-latitudes from other climate forcings, using the climate model CNRM-CM6 (Voldoire et al. 2019) in a coupled configuration or with an atmosphere-only. The first set of experiments, that is part of the European H2020 PRIMAVERA project, consists of a 100-member ensemble in which sea ice albedo is reduced to the ocean value (PERT) in the fully coupled CNRM-CM6, and which is compared to a 1950 control run (CTL) (Haarsma et al. 2016). This yields idealised ice-free conditions in summer and a more moderate sea ice reduction during the following months. The second set of experiments, that is part of the CMIP6 Polar Amplification Model Intercomparison Project (PAMIP, Smith et al. 2019), consists of a 300-member ensemble in which the atmospheric component of CNRM-CM6 is forced by sea ice anomalies associated with a future 2°C warming (FUT) and present day sea surface temperatures (SSTs). These are compared to experiments in which the atmosphere is forced by present-day sea ice conditions (PD) and the same SSTs. To extract the dynamical component of the response in the two sets of experiments, we use a dynamical adjustment method (Deser et al. 2016) based on a regional reconstruction of circulation analogs. We focus on three mid-latitudes regions in which a significant near-surface temperature response has been identified, namely North America, Europe and central Asia. We show that the cooling occurring over central Asia in both sets of experiments is dynamically-induced through an intensification of the Siberian High, and that opposed temperature responses over North America between the two sets of experiments could be explained by opposed dynamical components occurring in response to the imposed Arctic sea ice decline. Finally, we discuss whether different dynamical and thermodynamical contributions in the PAMIP multi-model experiments could explain the multi-model differences in the atmospheric response to sea ice loss.

description: Jowar is the main cereal crop in Maharashtra occupying 4.176 M ha area out of which rabi jowar occupied maximum area of 3.112 M ha during the year 2009-10. The gradual growth in use of technology in agriculture has resulted in increased crop productivity. The actual yields obtained are considerably lower than those recorded in the demonstration plots and research stations/farms. Therefore, there is a need to know the different yield gaps between the farmers’ fields and the demonstration plots. The study has suggested that to bridge this gap the use of recommended levels of input is most essential. The farmers should be motivated through visits to progressive farmers and organizations of field demonstrations, seminars and other communication means to use the recommended levels of inputs and improved variety of seeds to enhance the productivity of jowar in the state.

description: High-speed communication systems rely on spectrally efficient modulation formats that encode information both on the amplitude and on the phase of an electromagnetic carrier. Coherent detection of such signals typically uses rather complex receiver schemes, requiring a continuous-wave (c.w.) local oscillator (LO) as a phase reference and a mixer circuit for spectral down-conversion. In optical communications, the so-called Kramers-Kronig (KK) scheme has been demonstrated to greatly simplify the receiver, reducing the hardware to a single photodiode. In this approach, an LO tone is transmitted along with the signal, and the amplitude and phase of the complex signal envelope are reconstructed from the photocurrent by digital signal processing. This reconstruction exploits the fact that the real and the imaginary part, or, equivalently, the amplitude and the phase of an analytic signal are connected by a KK-type relation. Here, we transfer the KK scheme to high-speed wireless communications at THz carrier frequencies. We use a Schottky-barrier diode (SBD) as a nonlinear element and generalize the theory of KK processing to account for the non-quadratic characteristics of this device. Using 16-state quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM), we transmit a net data rate of 115 Gbit/s at a carrier frequency of 0.3 THz over a distance of 110 m.

description: Selectional preference learning methods have usually focused on word-to-class relations, e.g., a verb selects as its subject a given nominal class. This paper extends previous statistical models to class-to-class preferences, and presents a model that learns selectional preferences for classes of verbs, together with an algorithm to integrate the learned preferences in WordNet. The theoretical motivation is twofold: different senses of a verb may have different preferences, and classes of verbs may share preferences. On the practical side, class-to-class selectional preferences can be learned from untagged corpora (the same as word-to-class), they provide selectional preferences for less frequent word senses via inheritance, and more important, they allow for easy integration in WordNet. The model is trained on subject-verb and object-verb relationships extracted from a small corpus disambiguated with WordNet senses. Examples are provided illustrating that the theoretical motivations are well founded, and showing that the approach is feasible. Experimental results on a word sense disambiguation task are also provided.

description: Axially symmetric, stationary solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with disconnected event horizon are studied by developing a method of explicit integration of the corresponding boundary-value problem. This problem is reduced to non-leaner system of algebraic equations which gives relations between the masses, the angular momenta, the angular velocities, the charges, the distance parameters, the values of the electromagnetic field potential at the horizon and at the symmetry axis. A found solution of this system for the case of two charged non-rotating black holes shows that in general the total mass depends on the distance between black holes. Two-Killing reduction procedure of the Einstein-Maxwell equations is also discussed.

The CFHT Open Star Cluster Survey. III. The White Dwarf Cooling Age of the Rich Open Star Cluster NGC 2099 (M37)

description: We present deep CCD photometry of the very rich, intermediate aged (similar to the Hyades) open star cluster NGC 2099 (M37). The V, B-V color-magnitude diagram (CMD) for the cluster shows an extremely well populated and very tightly constrained main-sequence extending over 12 magnitudes from the turn-off. The CFH12K photometry for this cluster is faint enough (V ~ 24.5) to detect the remnants of the most massive progenitor cluster stars under the Type I SNe limit. Therefore, the CMD of the cluster also exhibits a well defined white dwarf `clump' caused by the decreased rate of cooling of these stars as they age, and a subsequent gap with very few objects. The termination point (Mv = 11.95 +/- 0.30) of the white dwarf luminosity function gives a white dwarf cooling age of 566 +/- 154/176 Myrs which is in excellent agreement with the main-sequence turn-off isochrone age (520 Myrs). By carefully accounting for errors, we show that the cooling age confirms that models including convective core overshooting are preferred for young-intermediate aged clusters. We also derive the reddening (E(B-V) = 0.21 +/- 0.03) and distance ((m-M)v = 11.55 +/- 0.13) to NGC 2099 by matching main-sequence features in the cluster to a new fiducial main-sequence for the Hyades. As a continuing part of the goals of the CFHT Open Star Cluster Survey to better understand dynamical processes of open clusters, we also fit a King model to the cluster density distribution and investigate the cluster main-sequence luminosity and mass functions in increasing concentric annuli. We find some evidence for mass segregation within the boundary of NGC 2099 as expected given the cluster's age relative to the dynamical age. The present global mass function for the cluster is found to be shallower than a Salpeter IMF.

description: Using continuous unitary transformations (CUT) we calculate the one-triplet gap for the antiferromagnetic S=1/2 two-leg spin ladder with additional four-spin exchange interactions in a high order series expansion about the limit of isolated rungs. By applying a novel extrapolation technique we calculate the transition line between the rung-singlet phase and a spontaneously dimerized phase with dimers on the legs. Using this efficient extrapolation technique we are able to analyze the crossover from strong rung coupling to weakly coupled chains.

description: COVID‐19 pandemic has shaken the roots of healthcare facilities worldwide, with the US being one of the most affected countries irrespective of being a superpower. Along with the current pandemic, COVID-19 can cause a secondary crisis of mental health pandemic if left unignored. Various studies from past epidemics, financial turmoil and pandemic, especially SARS and MERS, have shown a steep increase in mental and psychological issues like depression, low quality of life, self-harm and suicidal tendencies among general populations. The most venerable being the individuals infected and cured due to social discrimination. The government is taking steps to contain and prevent further infections of COVID 19. However, the mental and psychological wellbeing of people is still left ignored in developing countries like India. There is a significant gap in India concerning mental and psychological health still being stigmatized and considered 'non-existent'. This study's effort is to highlight the importance of mental and psychological health and to suggest interventions based on positive psychology literature. These interventions can support the wellbeing of people acting as a psychological first aid.
