description: Agricultural operations have been highly affected by all the industrial revolutions. From ancient times to today, agrarian systems have evolved parallel to technological developments. For a decade, we have been facing a new industrial revolution, Industry 4.0. It is for sure that the existing agrarian systems will be affected by this digital transformation. Since agricultural systems are critical production networks for civilizations, their change should be addressed carefully. For that purpose, this paper focuses on the technology evaluation for Smart Agriculture (SA). The SA area is chosen thanks to its importance for sustainable development and production systems. Thus, the expectations from SA are derived from the SA advantages stated in the academic and industrial literature. Afterward, the technologies are assessed according to their ability to meet these expectations. To obtain the most powerful technology, the expectations are first weighted via the 2-Tuple Linguistic (2-TL) DEMATEL technique, then 2-TL-MARCOS is used to calculate the technology prioritization. To overcome the ambiguity about a newly emerged subject as SA, using linguistic variables via the 2-TL approach is one of the essential contributions of this paper. Moreover, this paper suggests a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach to create a comprehensive understanding of digital technologies and their use and benefits in agricultural systems. A real case study is presented with a sensitivity analysis to test the proposed methodology's applicability and replicability.

description: Meiotic cells undergo a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of chromosome segregation (the meiotic divisions) to produce haploid gametes. Both DNA replication and chromosome segregation are similarly regulated by CDK oscillations in mitotic cells. Yet how these two events are uncoupled between the meiotic divisions is unclear. Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we show that meiotic cells inhibit both helicase loading and helicase activation to prevent DNA replication between the meiotic divisions. CDK and the meiosis–specific kinase Ime2 cooperatively inhibit helicase loading, and their simultaneous inhibition allows inappropriate helicase reloading. Further analysis uncovered two previously unknown mechanisms by which Ime2 inhibits helicase loading. Finally, we show that CDK and the polo–like kinase Cdc5 trigger degradation of Sld2, an essential helicase–activation protein. Together, our data demonstrate that multiple kinases inhibit both helicase loading and activation between the meiotic divisions, thereby ensuring reductive cell division.

description: We investigate the impact of radiation from primordial black holes (PBHs), in the mass range of $10^{15} \lesssim M_{\rm PBH} \lesssim 10^{17}~\rm g$ and $10^{2} \lesssim M_{\rm PBH} \lesssim 10^{4}~M_{\odot}$, on the 21-cm angular-power spectrum in the dark ages. PBHs in the former mass range effect the 21-cm angular-power spectrum through the evaporation known as Hawking radiation, while the radiation from the accretion process in the latter mass range. In the dark ages, radiation from PBHs can increase the ionization fraction and temperature of the intergalactic medium, change the global 21-cm differential brightness temperature and then effect the 21-cm angular-power spectrum. Taking into account the effects of PBHs, we find that in the dark ages, $30 \lesssim z \lesssim 100$, the amplitude of the 21-cm angular-power spectrum is decreased depending on the mass and mass fraction of PBHs. We also investigate the potential constraints on the mass fraction of PBHs in the form of dark matter for the future radio telescope in lunar obit or on the farside surface of the Moon.

description: Given a preferred orthonormal basis $B$ in the Hilbert space of a quantum system we define a measure of the coherence generating power of a unitary operation with respect to $B$. This measure is the average coherence generated by the operation acting on a uniform ensemble of incoherent states. We give its explicit analytical form in any dimension and provide an operational protocol to directly detect it. We characterize the set of unitaries with maximal coherence generating power and study the properties of our measure when the unitary is drawn at random from the Haar distribution. For large state-space dimension a random unitary has, with overwhelming probability, nearly maximal coherence generating power with respect to any basis. Finally, extensions to general unital quantum operations and the relation to the concept of asymmetry are discussed.

description: We study the dynamics of a tracer in a dense mixture of particles connected to different thermostats. Starting from the overdamped Langevin equations that describe the evolution of the system, we derive the expression of the self-diffusion coefficient of a tagged particle in the suspension, in the limit of soft interactions between the particles. Our derivation, which relies on the linearization of the Dean-Kawasaki equations obeyed by the density fields and on a path-integral representation of the dynamics of the tracer, extends previous derivations that held for tracers in contact with a single bath. Our analytical result is confronted to results from Brownian dynamics simulations. The agreement with numerical simulations is very good even for high densities. We show how the diffusivity of tracers can be affected by the activity of a dense environment of soft particles that may represent polymer coils -- a result that could be of relevance in the interpretation of measurements of diffusivity in biological media. Finally, our analytical result is general and can be applied to the diffusion of tracers coupled to different types of fluctuating environments, provided that their evolution equations are linear and that the coupling between the tracer and the bath is weak.
Association between diet and colorectal cancer in selected health facilities in Addis Ababa, a case control study
Creators: name: Zewdneh, Betelhem

Year: 2017

description: Background Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and the second in females. In 2012 an estimated 1.4 million colorectal cancer cases and 693,900 deaths occurred worldwide. According to Addis Ababa cancer registry, the age-standardized rate per 100,000 for colorectal cancer is 8.1 in males and 7.6 in females. It has been estimated that dietary factors account for nearly half of all colorectal cancer cases. Diet and lifestyle factors are key intervention points in primary prevention. In Ethiopia, there have not been previous studies about the dietary patterns of colorectal cancer patients in Ethiopia. Objectives- to identify the association between dietary patterns, nutrient intakes and colorectal cancer in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method-A matched case control study was conducted in 3 hospitals and 1 higher clinic which have cancer follow up center in Addis Ababa. A total of 88 cases and 264 controls were included in the study. Newly diagnosed cases and for each case 3 controls in the same hospital matched by age, sex and residence were selected. Semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the dietary pattern and to evaluate the dietary intake. we used factor analysis to identify dietary patterns. The data was entered to epi data and transfer to STATA 14.0. Nutrient content of food was calculated using nutrisurvey software. Residual method was used for energy adjustment. conditional logistic regression was used to identify the association of diet and colorectal cancer. Result-Eight dietary patterns were extracted. After adjusting for confounding factors meat pattern which contains fried ox meat, fried sheep meat, and kitfo has significantly associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer(AOR=2.7;95%CI=1.20,6.22). Fish pattern which contains fried fish, tuna, and macchiato (AOR=0.01; 95%CI=0.002, 0.06) has decreased risk of colorectal cancer. There was no significant association between fruit pattern and colorectal cancer. Significant but weak protective association was also found for all macronutrients and fiber after adjusting by residual method. Conclusion and recommendation- Consumption of meat and alcohol drinks increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Whereas fish, dairy products and refined cereals decreases the risk of colorectal cancer. Further studies are recommended by using prospective study design and by addressing the limitations of this study.

description: We demonstrate the integration of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) scanning mirrors as active elements for the local optical pumping of ultra-cold atoms in a magneto-optical trap. A pair of MEMS mirrors steer a focused resonant beam through a cloud of trapped atoms shelved in the \textit{F}=1 ground-state of \textsuperscript{87}Rb for spatially-selective fluorescence of the atom cloud. Two-dimensional control is demonstrated by forming geometrical patterns along the imaging axis of the cold atom ensemble. Such control of the atomic ensemble with a microfabricated mirror pair could find applications in single atom selection, local optical pumping and arbitrary cloud shaping. This approach has significant potential for miniaturisation and in creating portable control systems for quantum optic experiments.

description: Lur'e-type nonlinear systems are virtually ubiquitous in applied control theory, which explains the great interest they have attracted throughout the years. The purpose of this paper is to propose conditions to assess incremental asymptotic stability of Lur'e systems that are less conservative than those obtained with the incremental circle criterion. The method is based on the approximation of the nonlinearity by a piecewise-affine function. The Lur'e system can then be rewritten as a so-called piecewise-affine Lur'e system, for which sufficient conditions for asymptotic incremental stability are provided. These conditions are expressed as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) allowing the construction of a continuous piecewise-quadratic incremental Lyapunov function, which can be efficiently solved numerically. The results are illustrated with numerical examples.

Multi-fractal Geometry of Finite Networks of Spins

description: Quantum spin networks overcome the challenges of traditional charge-based electronics by encoding the information into spin degrees of freedom. Although beneficial for transmitting information with minimal losses when compared to their charge-based counterparts, the mathematical formalization of the information propagation in a spin(tronic) network is challenging due to its complicated scaling properties. In this paper, we propose a geometric approach---specific to finite networks---for unraveling the information-theoretic phenomena of spin chains and rings by abstracting them as weighted graphs, where the vertices correspond to the spin excitation states and the edges represent the information theoretic distance between pair of nodes. The weighted graph representation of the quantum spin network dynamics exhibits a complex self-similar structure (where subgraphs repeat to some extent over various space scales). To quantify this complex behavior, we develop a new box counting inspired algorithm which assesses the mono-fractal versus multi-fractal properties of quantum spin networks. Besides specific to finite networks, multi-fractality is further compounded by "engineering" or "biasing" the network for selective transfer, as selectivity makes the network more heterogeneous. To demonstrate criticality in finite size systems, we define a thermodynamics inspired framework for describing information propagation and show evidence that some spin chains and rings exhibit an informational phase transition phenomenon, akin to the metal-to-insulator phase transition in Anderson localization in finite media.}

description: The formalism of the generalized quantum master equation (GQME) is an effective tool to simultaneously increase the accuracy and the efficiency of quasiclassical trajectory methods in the simulation of nonadiabatic quantum dynamics. The GQME expresses correlation functions in terms of a non-Markovian equation of motion, involving memory kernels which are typically fast-decaying and can therefore be computed by short-time quasiclassical trajectories. In this paper we study the approximate solution of the GQME, obtained by calculating the kernels with two methods, namely Ehrenfest mean-field theory and spin mapping. We test the approaches on a range of spin--boson models with increasing energy bias between the two electronic levels and place a particular focus on the long-time limits of the populations. We find that the accuracy of the predictions of the GQME depends strongly on the specific technique used to calculate the kernels. In particular, spin mapping outperforms Ehrenfest for all systems studied. The problem of unphysical negative electronic populations affecting spin mapping is resolved by coupling the method with the master equation. Conversely, Ehrenfest in conjunction with the GQME can predict negative populations, despite the fact that the populations calculated from direct dynamics are positive definite.

description: The perceived randomness in the time evolution of "chaotic" dynamical systems can be characterized by universal probabilistic limit laws, which do not depend on the fine features of the individual system. One important example is the Poisson law for the times at which a particle with random initial data hits a small set. This was proved in various settings for dynamical systems with strong mixing properties. The key result of the present study is that, despite the absence of mixing, the hitting times of integrable flows also satisfy universal limit laws which are, however, not Poisson. We describe the limit distributions for "generic" integrable flows and a natural class of target sets, and illustrate our findings with two examples: the dynamics in central force fields and ellipse billiards. The convergence of the hitting time process follows from a new equidistribution theorem in the space of lattices, which is of independent interest. Its proof exploits Ratner's measure classification theorem for unipotent flows, and extends earlier work of Elkies and McMullen.

description: The molecular nature of $D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ have been extensively studied from the perspective of their masses, decay properties, and production rates. In this work, we study the weak decays of $B \to \bar{D}^{(\ast)}D_{s0}^{*}(2317)$ and $B \to \bar{D}^{(\ast)}D_{s1}(2460)$ by invoking triangle diagrams where the $B$ meson first decays weakly into $\bar{D}^{(\ast)}D_{s}^{(\ast)}$ and $J/ψK$($η_{c}K$), and then the $D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ are dynamically generated by the final-state interactions of $D_{s}^{(\ast)}η$ and $D^{(\ast)}K$ via exchanges of $η$ and $D^{(\ast)}$ mesons. The obtained absolute branching fractions of Br$[B \to \bar{D}^{(\ast)}D_{s0}^{*}(2317)]$ are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data, while the branching fractions of Br$[B \to \bar{D}^{(\ast)}D_{s1}(2460)]$ are smaller than the experimental central values by almost a factor of two to three. We tentatively attribute such a discrepancy to either reaction mechanisms missing in the present work or the likely existence of a relatively larger $c\bar{s}$ component in the $D_{s1}(2460)$ wave function.

description: We theoretically investigate the quantum transports in a junction between a superconductor and a silicene nanoribbon, under the effect of a magnetic exchange field. We find that for a narrow nanoribbon of silicene, remarkable crossed Andreev reflection (with a fraction $>50\%$) can be induced in the energy window of the elastic cotunneling, by destroying some symmetries of the system. Since the energy responses of electrons to the exchange field are opposite for opposite spins, these transport channels can be well spin polarized. Moreover, due to the helicity conservation of the topological edge states, these three transport channels are spatially separated in three different locations of the device, making them experimentally distinguishable. This crossed Andreev reflection is a nonlocal quantum interference between opposite edges through evanescent modes. If two superconducting leads with different phases are connected to two edges of the silicene nanoribbon, the crossed Andreev reflection can present Josephson type oscillations, with a maximal fraction $\sim 100\%$.

description: We discuss various aspects of HKLL bulk reconstruction for the free scalar field in AdS$_{d+1}$. First, we consider the spacelike reconstruction kernel for the non-normalizable mode in global coordinates. We construct it as a mode sum. In even bulk dimensions, this can be reproduced using a chordal Green's function approach that we propose. This puts the global AdS results for the non-normalizable mode on an equal footing with results in the literature for the normalizable mode. In Poincaré AdS, we present explicit mode sum results in general even and odd dimensions for both normalizable and non-normalizable kernels. For generic scaling dimension $Δ$, these can be re-written in a form that matches with the global AdS results via an antipodal mapping, plus a remainder. We are not aware of a general argument in the literature for dropping these remainder terms, but we note that a slight complexification of a boundary spatial coordinate (which we call an $i ε$ prescription) allows us to do so in cases where $Δ$ is (half-) integer. Since the non-normalizable mode turns on a source in the CFT, our primary motivation for considering it is as a step towards understanding linear wave equations in general spacetimes from a holographic perspective. But when the scaling dimension $Δ$ is in the Breitenlohner-Freedman window, we note that the construction has some interesting features within AdS/CFT.

description: We review the current (as of Fall 2016) status of the studies on the emergent integrability in many-body localized models. We start by explaining how the phenomenology of fully many-body localized systems can be recovered if one assumes the existence of a complete set of (quasi)local operators which commute with the Hamiltonian (local integrals of motion, or LIOMs). We describe the evolution of this idea from the initial conjecture, to the perturbative constructions, to the mathematical proof given for a disordered spin chain. We discuss the proposed numerical algorithms for the construction of LIOMs and the status of the debate on the existence and nature of such operators in systems with a many-body mobility edge, and in dimensions larger than one.

Assessment of Determinants of Survival in adult HIV Patients after Initiation of Antiretroviral therapy in Nekemte Referral Hospital, Wollega, West Ethiopia. A Retrospective Cohort Study
Creators: name: Teshome, Mitiku

description: Introduction: Studies identified different determinants of survival which includes, viral load, WHO clinical staging, CD4 cell count, body mass index (BMI), total lymphocyte count (TLC), ART adherence and baseline hemoglobin level. Even if these determinants of survival had been identified, there is no single proven model of determinants for predicting mortality of PLHIV and these determinants are dynamic and change over time due to improving quality of care and support and specific interventions like nutritional interventions. Furthermore, the optimal time to start treatment for HIV/AIDS has been a controversial issue since the introduction of HAART. Objective: To assess determinants of survival in patients living with HIV after starting ART. Methodology: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in Nekemte Referral Hospital. A total of 416 patients' records enrolled between 2005 to January, 2012 were reviewed consecutively by using patients' ART unique identification number as a reference. Univariate analysis was used to describe patient's baseline characteristics. Life table was used to estimate survival after initiation of ART, and log rank test was used to compare survival curves. Cox proportional-hazard regression was used to calculate the bivariate and adjusted hazard rate and then determined independent determinants of time to death. Results: Four hundred sixteen adult patients on ART were followed for a median of 47 months. The mean age was 33.6 years (SD=9.04) and the median weight of the study subjects at the initiation of ART was 51 kg (IQR, 45kg-58kg). The estimated mortality was 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, and 7% at 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 months respectively. After adjustment, factors such as, age≥40 AHR=3.364(1.211, 9.348, p=0.020), lower baseline hemoglobin level AHR=0.490 (0.300, 0.801, p=.007), and poor ART adherence AHR=132.3(29.9, 585.8, p<0.001) were confirmed as significant independent determinants of less survival after controlling for other factors while, single marital status AHR=0.285(0.1, 0.84, p=0.023) was protective of HIV mortality. Conclusion: This study has identified the independent significant determinants of less survival in patients living with HIV after initiation of ART which included older age, low baseline hemoglobin level, and poor ART adherence, while single marital status was protective of HIV mortality. These determinants should be taken into account by health care providers to enhance better clinical outcomes.

description: The one-dimensional Ising spin-glass model with power-law long-range interactions is a useful proxy model for studying spin glasses in higher space dimensions and for finding the dimension at which the spin-glass state changes from having broken replica symmetry to that of droplet behavior. To this end we have calculated the exponent that describes the difference in free energy between periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions. Numerical work is done to support some of the assumptions made in the calculations and to determine the behavior of the interface free-energy exponent of the power law of the interactions. Our numerical results for the interface free-energy exponent are badly affected by finite-size problems.

description: Brownian particles interacting sequentially with distinct temperatures and driving forces at each stroke have been tackled as a reliable alternative for the construction of engine setups. However they can behave very inefficiently depending on the driving used for the worksource and/or when temperatures of each stage are very different from each other. Inspired by some models for molecular motors and recent experimental studies, a coupling between driving and velocities is introduced as an alternative ingredient for enhancing the system performance. Here, the role of this new ingredient for levering the engine performance is detailed investigated from stochastic thermodynamics. Exact expressions for quantities and distinct maximization routes have been obtained and investigated. The search of an optimal coupling provides a substantial increase of engine performance (mainly efficiency), even for large $ΔT$. A simple and general argument for the optimal coupling can be estimated, irrespective the driving and other model details.

Hume, Justice and Sympathy: A Reversal of the Natural Order?
Creators: name: Botros, Sophie
Publisher: name: Diametros
Year: 2015

description: Hume’s view that the object of moral feeling is a natural passion, motivating action, causes problems for justice. There is apparently no appropriate natural motive, whilst, if there were, its “partiality” would unfit it to ground the requisite impartial approval. We offer a critique of such solutions as that the missing non-moral motive is enlightened self-interest (Baier), or that it is feigned (Haakonssen), or that it consists in a just disposition (Gauthier). We reject Cohon’s postulation of a moral motive for just acts, and also Harris’s attempt to dispense with motive as the source of their merit, by invoking extensive sympathy, and citing their beneficial societal consequences. These solutions assume that, if Hume remains a virtue ethicist, the natural virtues supply the paradigm. Taylor claims that a revolution in motivational psychology follows the inauguration of the artificial convention of justice, remoulding the natural virtues. This solution founders, we argue, upon unresolved contradictions besetting even these virtues

Why Compassion Still Needs Hume Today
Creators: name: Van Der Cingel, Margreet
Publisher: name: Diametros
Year: 2015

description: Over the past years the relevance of compassion for society and specific practices such as in healthcare is becoming a focus of attention. Philosophers and scientists discuss theoretical descriptions and defining characteristics of the phenomenon and its benefits and pitfalls. However, there are hardly any empirical studies which substantiate these writings in specific societal areas. Besides, compassion may be in the eye of attention today but has always been of interest for many contemporary philosophers as well as philosophers in the past, David Hume amongst them. Three themes related to Hume’s hypotheses on compassion are discussed and compared to outcomes of an empirical study amongst nurses and patients with a chronic disease. This comparison gives insights into the perception of those for whom compassion is of specific importance in their daily lives and into the usefulness of Hume’s notions on compassion.

description: Antonia doesn’t want to be in Italy. For the past two years she’s lived in Florence with her parents. To cheer her up, her parents apply to host an exchange student from Tampa, Florida. This does not cheer Antonia up. She has too much on her mind: she’s fat with an increasingly debilitating eating disorder and is in love with her best friend. The fact that her host brother and her best friend are dating doesn’t help. Antonia spirals, her anxiety rendering her a neglectful babysitter, poor student, and friend. When her baby-sitting ward makes a dangerous, if whimsical, foray into the river with a shoddily constructed boat, Antonia must put aside her personal struggles to help him. As Antonia realizes the consequences of her actions, she must decide whether to confide her romantic feelings and whether she can muster the encourage to seek help from her family and friends. Ultimately, she accepts her parents’ concern and receives appropriate psychiatric care.
An ab initio investigation of Bi$_2$Se$_3$ topological insulator deposited on amorphous SiO$_2$

description: We use first-principles simulations to investigate the topological properties of Bi$_2$Se$_3$ thin films deposited on amorphous SiO2, Bi$_2$Se$_3$/a-SiO$_2$, which is a promising substrate for topological insulator (TI) based device applications. The Bi$_2$Se$_3$ films are bonded to a-SiO$_2$ mediated by van der Waals interactions. Upon interaction with the substrate, the Bi$_2$Se$_3$ topological surface and interface states remain present, however the degeneracy between the Dirac-like cones is broken. The energy separation between the two Dirac-like cones increases with the number of Bi$_2$Se$_3$ quintuple layers (QLs) deposited on the substrate. Such a degeneracy breaking is caused by (i) charge transfer from the TI to the substrate and charge redistribution along the Bi$_2$Se$_3$ QLs, and (ii) by deformation of the QL in contact with the a-SiO$_2$ substrate. We also investigate the role played by oxygen vacancies (V$_O$) on the a-SiO$_2$, which increases the energy splitting between the two Dirac-like cones. Finally, by mapping the electronic structure of Bi$_2$Se$_3$/a-SiO$_2$, we found that the a-SiO$_2$ surface states, even upon the presence of V$_O$, play a minor role on gating the electronic transport properties of Bi$_2$Se$_3$.
