description: We demonstrate tunable solid state and flexible graphene field effect devices (FEDs) fabricated using a poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and lithium fluoride (LiF) composite dielectric. Increasing the concentration of LiF in the composite dielectric reduces the operating gate voltages significantly from 10 V to 1 V required leading to a decrease in resistance. Electron and hole mobility of 350 and 310 cm2/Vs at VD = -5 V are obtained for graphene FEDs with 10 % LiF concentration in the composite. Using composite dielectric also enabled excellent performance on flexible substrates without any significant change in mobility and resistance. Flexible FEDs with only 5 % and 12 % variation in mobility for 300 and 750 bending are obtained.

description: Reproductive success and survival are influenced by wealth in human populations. Wealth is transmitted to offsprings and strategies of transmission vary over time and among populations, the main variation being how equally wealth is transmitted to children. Here we propose a model where we simulate both the dynamics of wealth in a population and the evolution of a trait that determines how wealth is transmitted from parents to offspring, in a darwinian context.

description: We consider the problem of adaptive spatial smoothing for a time series of images. This type of data typically occurs in functional and dynamic Magnet Resonance Imaging (MRI). We propose a new method based on spatial smoothing with adaptively chosen weights. We show how this procedure can be used for efficient image estimation and classification in functional and dynamic MRI experiments. The performance of the procedure is illustrated by applications to simulated and real data.

description: Presented at the GHRSST XXIII international science team meeting, 27 June-1 July 2022, online and in-person (Barcelona). #GHRSST23 Short abstract The Haiyang-1C (HY-1C) satellite is the first operational ocean color satellite of the Chinese HY-1 series satellites, launched in September 2018. The Chinese Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (COCTS) on board HY-1C satellite has two thermal infrared channels with the spectrum range of 10.30-11.40 μm and 11.40-12.50 μm for sea surface temperature (SST) observations. The Bayesian cloud detection and optimal estimation (OE) SST retrieval were applied to COCTS data in this study. The Bayesian cloud detection algorithm that has been developed is based on the Bayes’ theorem and used simulation of COCTS observations. The MODerate resolution atmospheric TRANsmission (MODTRAN) model was used for simulation of COCTS brightness temperatures. Global SSTs were retrieved from COCTS by OE from July 2019 to August 2019 and were validated using iQuam buoy SST and Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) SST. Comparison of COCTS OE SST with buoy SST showed that the COCTS SSTs are cooler than buoy measurements by −0.16 ºC on average, and the standard deviation (SD) of differences was 0.46 ºC. The mean difference of COCTS OE SST with matched skin temperatures from the SLSTR is -0.02 ºC, with a SD of 0.45 ºC. These validation results of COCTS OE SST demonstrated that Bayesian cloud detection and OE SST retrieval algorithm worked well for HY-1C COCTS.

Exact Third-Order Density Perturbation and One-Loop Power Spectrum in General Dark Energy Models

description: Under the standard perturbation theory (SPT), we obtain the fully consistent third-order density fluctuation and kernels for the general dark energy models without using the Einstein-de Sitter (EdS) universe assumption for the first time. We also show that even though the temporal and spatial components of the SPT solutions can not be separable, one can find the exact solutions to any order in general dark energy models. With these exact solutions, we obtain the less than \% error correction of one-loop matter power spectrum compared to that obtained from the EdS assumption for $k = 0.1 {\rm h\, Mpc}^{-1}$ mode at $z = 0$ (1, 1.5). Thus, the EdS assumption works very well at this scale. However, if one considers the correction for $P_{13}$, the error is about 6 (9, 11) \% for the same mode at $z = 0$ (1, 1.5). One absorbs $P_{13}$ into the linear power spectrum in the renormalized perturbation theory (RPT) and thus one should use the exact solution instead of the approximation one. The error on the resummed propagator $N$ of RPT is about 14 (8, 6) \% at $z =0$ (1, 1.5) for $k = 0.4 {\rm h\, Mpc}^{-1}$. For $k = 1 {\rm h\, Mpc}^{-1}$, the error correction of the total matter power spectrum is about 3.6 (4.6, 4.5) \% at $z = 0$ (1, 1.5). Upcoming observation is required to archive the sub-percent accuracy to provide the strong constraint on the dark energy and this consistent solution is prerequisite for the model comparison.

description: Excerpts from the report: The study area is the Arkansas River Basin in Kansas. It is about 41,865 square miles (26,793,700 acres) in size and covers approximately the southern half of Kansas. The study area was divided into five planning units, as designated by the State. Their names and sizes are: Upper Arkansas Unit (10,323 square miles). Cimarron Unit (6,788 square miles), Lower Arkansas Unit (11,600 square miles), Walnut-Verdigris Unit (6,839 square miles), and Neosho Unit 6,315 (square miles). The Kansas Water Resources Board is making a water resource study of the State in the interest of water control, water flow, water supply, agricultural, municipal, industrial, and recreational water use, stream pollution, sedimentation. The Board requested the U. S. Department of Agriculture to cooperate and undertake with it a study of the Kansas portion of the Arkansas River Basin. Major objectives of the study included: I. Projection of economic development as a basis to assess needs for development of water and related land resources. II. Inventory agricultural and rural community water and land resources availability and needs for resource development. III. Analysis of potential water and related land resource development. IV. Identify projects needed within the next 10 to 15 years ("Early Action") within an overall plan of water and related land resource development to satisfy upstream agricultural and rural needs.
description: Authority to participate in the study was provided the Department of Agriculture by Section 6, Public Law 83-566, as amended. Surveys and investigations were carried out in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding dated April 15, 1968, between the Economic Research Service, Forest Service, and Soil Conservation Service. General direction was provided by a USDA Field Advisory Committee which included representatives from the three agencies.

description: In the Peninsular Malaysia and Northern Borneo island of Malaysia, various rich indigenous leafy vegetables and fruits grow and contribute to the nutritional and dietary values of the population. They have high water contents, thus, naturally vulnerable to rapid food spoilage. Food preservation and processing play a vital role in the inhibition of food pathogens in fruits and vegetables that are prevalent in Malaysia. Lactic acid fermentation is generally a local-based bioprocess, among the oldest form and well-known for food-processing techniques among indigenous people there. The long shelf life of fermented vegetables and fruits improves their nutritional values and antioxidant potentials. Fermented leaves and vegetables can be utilized as a potential source of probiotics as they are host for several lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus confusus, Weissella paramesenteroides, Enterococcus faecalis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus buchneri, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus pentosus, Pediococcus acidilactici, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. These strains may be more viable in metabolic systems whereby can contribute to a substantial increase in essential biologically bioactive element than industrial starter cultures. This review is aimed to address some essential fermented fruits and vegetables in Malaysia and their remarkable reputations as a potential sources of natural probiotics.

description: It is known that a constant magnetic field is a strong catalyst of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in 2+1 dimensions, leading to generating dynamical fermion mass even at weakest attraction. In this work we investigate the collective modes associated with the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in a constant magnetic field in the (2+1)-dimensional Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with continuous U(1) chiral symmetry. We introduce a self-consistent scheme to evaluate the propagators of the collective modes at the leading order in 1/N. The contributions from the vacuum and from the magnetic field are separated such that we can employ the well-established regularization scheme for the case of vanishing magnetic field. The same scheme can be applied to the study of the next-to-leading order correction in 1/N. We show that the sigma mode is always a lightly bound state with its mass being twice the dynamical fermion mass for arbitrary strength of the magnetic field. Since the dynamics of the collective modes is always 2+1 dimensional, the finite temperature transition should be of the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) type. We determine the KT transition temperature $T_{\rm KT}$ as well as the mass melting temperature $T^*$ as a function of the magnetic field. It is found that the pseudogap domain $T_{\rm KT}

description: The method of hysteresis operators in modelling phase transitions is applied here to the problem of asymptotic stabilization of solutions to a phase-field system with hysteresis. While it is known that a unique global strong solution exists for every initial data and that the evolution process described by this system is thermodynamically consistent in the sense that the absolute temperature remains positive for all times and the Clausius-Duhem inequality holds almost everywhere, we study here the asymptotic behaviour of the solution as t → ∞.

description: We study regularization methods for the integral equation of the first kind with analytical kernel of logarithmic type. The problem is severely ill-posed. In [1] a logarithmic type convergence rate for the Tikhonov regularized solution was proved. Here we are concerned with numerical aspects of the solution. First we consider the selfregularization of the problem by using projection methods in the sense of [9].Then we will see that the Tikhonov regularization of such methods is in accordance with a discretized version of the Tikhonov regularized solution in [1]. Finally, we describe numerical experiments being in a good agreement with the theoretical results.

description: Air quality issues are directly related to the well-being of populations; the European Environmental Agency has recently reported that more than 300,000 deaths in Europe are directly linked to poor air quality. Moreover, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has recently updated its standards and guidelines regarding air quality emphasizing on the increasing contribution of human activities (eg. transportation, industry, heating and so on) to the ambient air quality and the necessity to decrease these emissions to save lives. In this e-shape pilot we are providing high precision air quality monitoring service using EO based data combined with in-situ measurements. Our aim is to downscale available data from satellite observation. Doing so, we will provide a competitive service that fills the gap between the local in-situ sensors data, and the lower resolution, global satellite data.The focus within the pilot will be on modelling high precision CO and CO2 data. All developments are in-line with the World Health Organization standards, with short- and long-term exposures thresholds.The final service is a decision-making dashboard presenting the evolution of air quality, moving from the city level as provided today by satellite observations to the neighborhood level.AcknowledgmentThe e-shape project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement 820852.

description: Densification of rice straw such as compacting and pelletizing is an important process to increase the density of rice straw resulting in a reduction of transportation cost. Within this research, we conducted a techno-economic investigation of rice straw densification to produce compressed bales and pellets, which are later used for animal feed. In line with the main deliverable of the performance of rice straw compacting and pelletizing processes, we also looked into the quality of the product in terms of uptake and digestibility of the cattle feed which could be improved by adding amendments such as urea during the compacting process. The compacting technology resulted in a 400% increase of bale density (from 94 to 390 kg.m-3). This could reduce transportation costs by about 60% for a 60 km driving distance using trucks. The net profit that resulted from compacted bales was USD 0.0062 kg-1. Although the pelletizing technology increased the cost of the densified product by 40–50%, its density increases by 700%, from 94 to 666 kg.m-3. The enriched-rice straw pellets contained 12.1% protein, 2.8% lipid, 32.7% raw fibre, and 11.2% ash. In addition, a test of this product for cattle feeding illustrated an increase in its eating desirability for cows. Findings from this study contribute to reducing feedstock cost and developing densified rice straw products. These, therefore, provide more alternative options to increase the benefits from rice production and thus, reduce the unsustainable burning of rice straw in the field. Nén ép rơm là quá trình quan trọng và cần thiết để tăng khối lượng thể tích với mục đích giảm chi phí vận chuyển. Trong nghiên cứu này, chúng tôi đã thực hiện nghiên cứu đánh giá tính khả thi về kỹ thuật và kinh tế đối với nội dung nén ép rơm cuộn và ép viên rơm. Cùng với mục đích chính là tăng dung trọng của sản phẩm từ rơm, chúng tôi cũng đánh giá chất lượng sản phẩm làm thức ăn cho bò giúp cho tăng kích thích quá trình tiêu hóa. Kết quả nén ép cuộn rơm đã làm tăng dung trọng của kiện rơm đến 400% (từ 94 đến 398.7 kg.m-3). Qua đó, đã giảm được chi phí vận chuyển 60% được ước tính cho 60 km khoảng cách vận chuyển. Đối với ép viên rơm, dung trọng tăng đến 700% (từ 94 đến 666 kg.m-3). Hàm lượng dinh dưỡng của viên nén hỗn hợp rơm gồm protein (12,1%), chất béo (2,8%), chất xơ (32,7%), và lượng tro tổng (11,2%). Ngoài ra, kết quả thử nghiệm cho bò ăn sản phẩm viên nén này cho thấy bò có cảm giác thích và ăn hết toàn bộ viên nén. Kết quả của nghiên cứu đã góp phần giảm chi phí khi sản xuất thức ăn cho bò, tăng thu nhập cho người nông dân và từ đó giảm tác động môi trường do việc đốt rơm trên đồng.

description: More than 80% of the global population lives in areas at risk of at least one major Vector-Borne Disease (VBD), with more than 700.000 deaths at a global scale (WHO, 2020). Mosquitoes are the protagonists of these vectors, transmitting pathogens to living beings with the most important being the Mosquito-Borne Diseases (MBDs) in Europe, namely West Nile Fever linked to Culex mosquitoes, Malaria linked to Anopheles mosquitoes and Chikungunya, Dengue and Zika linked to Aedes mosquitoes.There is a constantly increasing need to innovate on how the continuous threat of MBDs are confronted, treated but most of all foreseen. This gave birth to the idea of EYWA, an integrated and contemporary EarlY Warning System (EWS) for MBD, which utilizes state-of-the-art AI/ML technologies and furthermore assimilates big EO data and geo-spatial information, embodying a complete, adaptable (scalable, and replicable) and operational European EWS. EYWA offers operational and pre-operational services for MBD outbreak (TRL >7 up to 9) in five countries (France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Serbia).Under the e-shape pilot EYWA will seek to further augment the database of entomological data from non-European territories and evolve the suite of predictive models to include non-European areas where the climate conditions are very different to those found in Europe. This will help make the model predictions even more robust in the face of different inputs. Furthermore, there will be an assessment of the combined accuracy gain of the mosquito abundance model MAMOTH with the dynamic epidemiological model MIMESIS for the West Nile virus (WNV) risk.AcknowledgmentThe e-shape project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement 820852.
Value in mixed strategies for zero-sum stochastic differential games without Isaacs condition

description: In the present work, we consider 2-person zero-sum stochastic differential games with a nonlinear pay-off functional which is defined through a backward stochastic differential equation. Our main objective is to study for such a game the problem of the existence of a value without Isaacs condition. Not surprising, this requires a suitable concept of mixed strategies which, to the authors' best knowledge, was not known in the context of stochastic differential games. For this, we consider nonanticipative strategies with a delay defined through a partition $π$ of the time interval $[0,T]$. The underlying stochastic controls for the both players are randomized along $π$ by a hazard which is independent of the governing Brownian motion, and knowing the information available at the left time point $t_{j-1}$ of the subintervals generated by $π$, the controls of Players 1 and 2 are conditionally independent over $[t_{j-1},t_j)$. It is shown that the associated lower and upper value functions $W^π$ and $U^π$ converge uniformly on compacts to a function $V$, the so-called value in mixed strategies, as the mesh of $π$ tends to zero. This function $V$ is characterized as the unique viscosity solution of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs equation.

description: Striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) is freshwater fish that is raising mainly in the Mekong Delta. The research was implemented at the Model Farm (College of Aquaculture and Fisheries), Can Tho University during 6 months from May to November of 2016 and aimed to evaluate the water quality between two treatments of feed in the pangasius production for proposing a better environmental management method. The treatment 1 (control treatment, CT) has two ponds used feed without adding phytase and treatment 2 (experiment treatment, ET) includes two ponds used feed with adding phytase. The results showed that the temperature, pH, DO, TSS, COD, BOD, N-NO2-, N-NO3-, TKN, TAN were not significantly different (p>0.05) between the CT and ET ponds. At the experiment pond (EP), the factors (TP: 2.28 mg/L; P-PO43-: 1.24 mg/L) which has P release to the environment are less than control pond (CP) (TP: 2.62 mg/L; P-PO43-: 2.13 mg/L). These results suggested that the addition of phytase in feed could contribute to reducing the nutrient to the water body of pangasius pond. Cá tra (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) là loài thủy sản nước ngọt được nuôi chủ yếu ở các tỉnh Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long. Nghiên cứu được thực hiện trong 6 tháng từ tháng 05 – 11/2016 tại Trang trại mẫu đặt tại Khoa Thủy sản, Trường Đại học Cần Thơ nhằm đánh giá chất lượng nước giữa 2 nghiệm thức thức ăn trong giai đoạn nuôi cá thịt để đề xuất biện pháp quản lý chất lượng nước ao nuôi tốt hơn. Nghiệm thức 1 (nghiệm thức đối chứng, CT) gồm 2 ao nuôi sử dụng thức ăn không bổ sung enzyme phytase, nghiệm thức 2 (nghiệm thức thí nghiệm, ET) gồm 2 ao nuôi sử dụng thức ăn có bổ sung enzyme phytase. Kết quả thí nghiệm cho thấy giá trị nhiệt độ, pH, DO, TSS, COD, BOD, H2S, N-NO2-, N-NO3-, TKN, TAN ở mức phù hợp cho ao đối chứng (CT). Tại ao thí nghiệm (ET) (TP:2,28 mg/L; P-PO43-: 1,24 mg/L) lượng P thải ra ít hơn so với ao CT (TP: 2,62 mg/L; P-PO43-: 2,13 mg/L) chứng tỏ việc bổ sung enzyme phytase trong thức ăn đã góp phần làm giảm lượng lân thải ra môi trường nước trong nuôi cá tra.
