description: A huge swath of parameter space in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) has been ruled at after run I of the LHC. Various exclusion contours in the $m_{\tilde{g}}-\m_{\tildeχ_{1}^{0}}$ plane were derived by the experimental collaborations, all based on three-body gluino decay topologies. These limits are however extremely model dependent and do not always reflect the level of exclusion. If the gluino-neutralino spectrum is compressed, then the current mass limits can be drastically reduced. In such situations, the radiative decay of the gluino $\gino \ra g \neut{1}$ can be dominant and used as a sensitive probe of small mass splittings. We examine the sensitivity of constraints of some Run I experimental searches on this decay after recasting them within the \texttt{MadAnalysis5} framework. The recasted searches are now part of the \texttt{MadAnalysis5} Public Analysis Database. We also design a dedicated search strategy and investigate its prospects to uncover this decay mode of the gluino at run II of the LHC. We emphasize that a multijet search strategy may be more sensitive than a monojet one, even in the case of very small mass differences.

description: Objective:Overweight and obesity in children is a global problem. Besides physical effects, obesity has harmful psychological effects on children.Methods:We carried out cross-sectional community-based study to investigate the relation between body mass index (BMI) and cognitive functioning in preschool children. Thirteen socioeconomical elements of 1151 children were measured and analyzed based on their intelligence quotient (IQ) test results. Thirteen out of 33 provinces were selected randomly, and schools were selected as clusters in rural and urban areas. Descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance and regression were used when appropriate.Results:Our analysis showed that IQ was associated with household income, place of residence, delivery type, type of infant feeding and father's and mother's education level (P<0.001 for all). Using penalized linear regression for eliminating the impact of confounding factor, our study shows that, living in metropolitan (β=2.411) and urban areas (β=2.761), the level of participants' father's education (β=5.251) was positively and BMI (β=−0.594) was negatively related with IQ test results.ConclusionsThe findings of the present study showed that a lower IQ score is associated with higher BMI. However, this relation appears to be largely mediated when the socioeconomic status was considered.

description: This study examines the effect of exchange rate volatility on the macroeconomic performance of Selected African Countries (Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Egypt). The study period spans from 1990 to 2022, and data were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and World Bank’s Development indicators (WDI). The specific objective is to examine the impact of exchange rate volatility on economic growth and Balance of Payments. In order to achieve the objective, the study adopted an ex-post facto design, panel regression methodology, and classical least squares (CLS) regression techniques for analysis. Findings from the study revealed that exchange rate volatility has a positive impact on balance of payments. However, exchange rate volatility has a negative impact on economic growth, implying that upward swings in exchange rate volatility will hurt economic growth eventually. Based on these findings, this study suggests that to reduce the effect of exchange rate volatility on economic growth, governments of various countries should strive to encourage foreign remittances by creating an appropriate atmosphere and also ensure a stable exchange rate that would reduce uncertainties for producers, especially in the importation of raw materials

description: Owing to the renewed interest in dark matter after the upgrade of the large hadron collider and its dedication to dark matter research it is timely to reassess the whole problem. Considering dark matter is one way to reconcile the discrepancy between the velocity of matter in the outer regions of galaxies and the observed galactic mass. So far, no credible candidate for dark matter has been identified. Here, we develop a model accounting for observations by rotations and interactions between rotating objects analogous to magnetic fields and interactions with moving charges. The magnitude of these fields is described by a fundamental constant of the order 10-41kg-1. The same interactions can be observed in the solar system where they lead to small changes in planetary orbits.

description: Disparities in incidence and mortality rates of colon cancer exist between Whites and African Americans. Prior studies examined the association between trans fatty acid consumption and colorectal cancer, but none assessed this possible relationship within a large study population of African Americans and Whites. Using data from a population-based case-control study in North Carolina, we investigated this association with attention to possible racial differences. Cases and matched controls were queried on demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, medical history, and diet. Cases reported higher daily consumption (grams/day) of trans fatty acids [mean 5.9 (SD 2.9) and median 5.5 (IQR 3.8-7.5)] compared to controls [mean 5.2 (SD 2.4) and median 4.7 (IQR 3.5-6.4)]. Energy-adjusted trans fatty acid consumption was not associated with colon cancer. Compared to participants in the lowest quartile of consumption, those in the highest quartile had an adjusted odds ratio of 1.01 (95% confidence interval 0.69, 1.49) for Whites and 0.99 (95% confidence interval 0.61, 1.62) for African Americans. No association was found between increased consumption of trans fatty acid and specific tumor location (proximal or distal colon). In conclusion, trans fatty acid consumption is not associated with colon cancer and does not contribute to disparities in colon cancer rates.

description: The data sets presented here are used for the preparations of a 3-dimensional modelling of the gravity field in the Western Mediterranean/Ligurian Sea. As part of the AlpArray initiative and the German priority program MB-4D, various compilations of the gravity field are available: Bouguer and Free Air Anomaly, as well as variously calculated residual fields that provide new insight into crustal and lithospheric structures. The anomalies have been processed according to modern standards. The recalculations were part of the research of the international AlpArray Gravity Group. In particular, the residual fields in the area of the Ligurian Sea show hitherto unknown small-scale anomalies after subtraction of long-wave components (satellite gravimetry). The short wavelengths in the gravity field of different magnitudes suggest strong structuring of the lithosphere e.g., offshore Marseille (with an anomaly of about 60 mGal and in the areas between the French-Italian mainland and Corsica-Sardinia (with up to 100 mGal). Furthermore, the new compilations suggest that the crustal underground of this area is not formed by a uniform basin, but by domains of rather different densities. The Italian coastal region between Genoa and Livorno is characterized by a belt of positive anomalies (up to 60 mGal). The subsurface beneath the two islands of Corsica and Sardinia is characterized by strong negative anomalies in the residual field, indicating density deficits beneath. The new findings are supported by applications of Euler deconvolution, gradient methods, directional filters, and curvature calculations considering also the evaluation of GOCE gradients.

description: We examined associations of dietary patterns with colon cancer risk in African Americans and Whites from a case-control study in North Carolina. Incident colon cancer cases, 40 to 80 yr (n = 636), and matched controls (n = 1,042) were interviewed in person to elicit information on potential colon cancer risk factors. A validated food frequency questionnaire adapted to include regional foods captured diet over the year prior to diagnosis (cases) or interview date (controls). Three meaningful intake patterns were identified in both Whites and African Americans: “Western-Southern,” “fruit-vegetable,” and “metropolitan.” Compared to the Western-Southern pattern, the fruit-vegetable and metropolitan patterns were associated with more healthful dietary behaviors (e.g., higher vegetable intake and lower red meat consumption), and demographic/lifestyle characteristics typically correlated with low colon cancer risk, for example, lower BMI, higher education, and higher NSAID use. The fruit-vegetable pattern was significantly inversely associated with colon cancer risk in Whites (OR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.3–0.6) and the metropolitan pattern with a nonsignificant 30% risk reduction in both Whites and African Americans after adjustment for education. The Western-Southern pattern was not associated with colon cancer risk. These findings may explain some of the racial differences in colon cancer incidence and underscore the importance of examining diet-cancer associations in different population subgroups.

description: This study examines the moderating effect of audit quality on third-party disclosures and the financial performance of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study covered the period 2018 to 2022, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The empirical results show that third-party disclosure has a significant positive effect on manufacturing firms’ financial performance. The moderating effect of audit quality on this relationship was significant. The findings also reveal that third-party disclosure has a significant effect on audit quality. This study concludes that third-party disclosure influences manufacturing firms’ financial performance, particularly third-party receivables and sales. This study recommends that third-party sales should be encouraged and that there should be more transparency in reporting third-party transactions because doing so enhances financial performance among other factors in the manufacturing sector

description: Studies have suggested that red and processed meat consumption elevate the risk of colon cancer; however, the relationship between red meat, as well as fat and protein, and distal colorectal cancer (CRC) specifically is not clear. We determined the risk of distal CRC associated with red and processed meat, fat, and protein intakes in Whites and African Americans. There were 945 cases (720 White, 225 African American) of distal CRC and 959 controls (800 White, 159 African American). We assessed dietary intake in the previous 12 mo. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to obtain odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). There was no association between total, saturated, or monounsaturated fat and distal CRC risk. In African Americans, the OR of distal CRC for the highest category of polyunsaturated fat intake was 0.28 (95% CI = 0.08–0.96). The percent of energy from protein was associated with a 47% risk reduction in Whites (Q4 OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.37–0.77). Red meat consumption in Whites was associated with a marginally significant risk reduction (Q4 OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.43–1.00). Our results do not support the hypotheses that fat, protein, and red meat increase the risk of distal CRC.

description: The mechanism by which cancer mediates muscle atrophy has been delineated in the past 3 decades, and includes a prominent role of tumor-derived cytokines, such as IL-6, TNFα and IL-1. These cytokines interact with their cognate receptors on muscle to activate the downstream transcription factor NF-κB and induce sarcomere proteolysis. Experimentally, inhibiting NF-κB signaling largely prevents cancer-induced muscle wasting, indicating its prominent role in muscle atrophy. Resveratrol, a natural phytoalexin found in the skin of grapes, has recently been shown to inhibit NF-κB in cancer cells, which led us to hypothesize that it might have a protective role in cancer cachexia. Therefore, we investigated if daily oral resveratrol could protect against skeletal muscle loss and cardiac atrophy in an established mouse model. We demonstrate resveratrol inhibits skeletal muscle and cardiac atrophy induced by C26 adenocarcinoma tumors through its inhibition of NF-κB (p65) activity in the skeletal muscle and heart. These studies demonstrate for the first time the utility of oral resveratrol therapy to provide clinical benefit in cancer-induced atrophy through the inhibition of NF-κB in muscle. These findings may have application in the treatment of diseases with parallel pathophysiologies such as muscular dystrophy and heart failure.

description: The relative importance of biochemical pathways has not been previously examined when considering the influence of diet on breast cancer risk. To address this issue, we utilized interview data from a population-based sample of 1,463 breast cancer cases and 1,500 controls. Dietary intake was assessed shortly after diagnosis using a 101-item food frequency questionnaire. Age- and energy-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for individual micro- and macronutrients were estimated with logistic regression. Hierarchical modeling was employed to account for biologically plausible nutrient pathways (one-carbon metabolism, oxidative stress, glycemic control and phytoestrogens). Effect estimates from hierarchical modeling were more precise and plausible compared to those from multivariable models. The strongest relationship observed was for the glycemic control pathway, but confidence intervals (CI) were wide [OR (95% CI): 0.86 (0.62, 1.21)]. Little or no effect was observed for the one-carbon metabolism, oxidative stress and phytoestrogen pathways. Associations were similar when stratified by supplement use. Our approach that emphasizes biochemical pathways, rather than individual nutrients, revealed that breast cancer risk may be more strongly associated with glycemic control factors than those from other pathways considered. Our study emphasizes the importance of accounting for multiple nutrient pathways when examining associations between dietary intake and breast cancer.

description: This paper presents a framework for exact discovery of the top-k sequential patterns under Leverage. It combines (1) a novel definition of the expected support for a sequential pattern - a concept on which most interestingness measures directly rely - with (2) SkOPUS: a new branch-and-bound algorithm for the exact discovery of top-k sequential patterns under a given measure of interest. Our interestingness measure employs the partition approach. A pattern is interesting to the extent that it is more frequent than can be explained by assuming independence between any of the pairs of patterns from which it can be composed. The larger the support compared to the expectation under independence, the more interesting is the pattern. We build on these two elements to exactly extract the k sequential patterns with highest leverage, consistent with our definition of expected support. We conduct experiments on both synthetic data with known patterns and real-world datasets; both experiments confirm the consistency and relevance of our approach with regard to the state of the art.

description: We propose an Isogeometric approach for smoothing on surfaces, namely estimating a function starting from noisy and discrete measurements. More precisely, we aim at estimating functions lying on a surface represented by NURBS, which are geometrical representations commonly used in industrial applications. The estimation is based on the minimization of a penalized least-square functional. The latter is equivalent to solve a 4th-order Partial Differential Equation (PDE). In this context, we use Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) for the numerical approximation of such surface PDE, leading to an IsoGeometric Smoothing (IGS) method for fitting data spatially distributed on a surface. Indeed, IGA facilitates encapsulating the exact geometrical representation of the surface in the analysis and also allows the use of at least globally $C^1-$continuous NURBS basis functions for which the 4th-order PDE can be solved using the standard Galerkin method. We show the performance of the proposed IGS method by means of numerical simulations and we apply it to the estimation of the pressure coefficient, and associated aerodynamic force on a winglet of the SOAR space shuttle.

description: Proper nutrition plays a key role in disease prevention and treatment. Many patients understand this link and look to physicians for guidance diet and physical activity. Actual physician practice, however, is often inadequate in addressing the nutrition aspects of diseases such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes. Physicians do not feel comfortable, confident, or adequately prepared to provide nutrition counseling, which may be related to suboptimal knowledge of basic nutrition science facts and understanding of potential nutrition interventions. Historically, nutrition education has been underrepresented at many medical schools and residency programs. Our surveys over a decade show that most medical schools in the United States are still not ensuring adequate nutrition education, and they are not producing graduates with the nutrition competencies required in medical practice. Physicians, residents, and medical students clearly need more training in nutrition assessment and intervention.

description: Routine monitoring of shellfish for algal biotoxins prior to harvest is essential for consumer safety and is necessary for international trade. In addition to seafood, toxins of cyanbacterial origin pose risks for the use of freshwater supplies. Accurate calibration standards as well as matrix certified reference materials (CRMs) are essential for method development and validation. The National Research Council’s (NRC) metrology program produces CRMs for marine and freshwater toxins under a rigorous quality system. Marine toxins can be divided into two general categories: hydrophilic and lipophilic. The hydrophilic toxins include the domoic acid and saxitoxin groups. The lipophilic toxins include the okadaic acid group, pectenotoxins, azaspiracids, yessotoxins, and the cyclic imines. Fresh and brackish water toxins comprise compounds primarily from the microcystin, cylindrospermopsin and anatoxin groups. This poster will provide an update on the biotoxin CRMs available from the National Research Council covering both calibration solution and matrix CRMs. The high purity solution CRMs are critical for instrument calibration and general research applications, while the shellfish tissue matrix CRMs are important for verifying complete analytical methods, from sample preparation through to final data analysis. Planned future CRM developments will also be shown.

description: L?obiettivo dell?evento #CommonFareTrentino (Impact Hub Trento, 21 aprile 2017) � stato quello di aprire il dibattito sul Commonfare anche in Trentino e tentare di risolvere un'anomalia. L?anomalia ? certo non decisiva nello sviluppo del progetto, ma comunque significativa ? sta nel fatto che il progetto PIE News / Commonfare (finanziato a livello Europeo fino a giugno 2019), attivit� con l?orizzonte di sviluppare la piattaforma Commonfare.net in ottica di sostenibilit� post-progettuale, vede il territorio all?interno del quale � stato in buona parte ideato (il Trentino) non coinvolto come pilot, ossia come contesto/luogo entro il quale co-sviluppare ed adottare la piattaforma con la partecipazione di popolazione, associazioni e istituzioni. Spinti dall?interesse dimostrato da parte del pubblico, gli atti di questa tavola rotonda intendono essere una pietra angolare per il futuro sviluppo del Commonfare anche in Trentino, attraverso la piattaforma commonfare.net.

description: We examined the relationship of maternal anthropometry to fetal growth and birth weight among 1005 HIV-infected women in Lilongwe, Malawi, who consented to enrollment in the Breastfeeding, Antiretrovirals, and Nutrition (BAN) Study (www.thebanstudy.org). Anthropometric assessments of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), arm muscle area (AMA), and arm fat area (AFA) were collected at the baseline visit between 12 and 30 weeks gestation and in up to 4 follow-up prenatal visits. In longitudinal analysis, fundal height increased monotonically at an estimated rate of 0.92 cm/week and was positively and negatively associated with AMA and AFA, respectively. These latter relationships varied over weeks of follow-up. Baseline MUAC, AMA, and AFA were positively associated with birth weight [MUAC: 31.84 grams per cm increment, 95% CI: 22.18, 41.49 (p2, 95% CI: 2.51, 11.26 (p2, 95% CI: 3.53, 10.41 (p

description: We propose a mechanism to evade the Lyth bound in models of inflation. We minimally extend the conventional single-field inflation model in general relativity (GR) to a theory with non-vanishing graviton mass in the very early universe. The modification primarily affects the tensor perturbation, while the scalar and vector perturbations are the same as the ones in GR with a single scalar field at least at the level of linear perturbation theory. During the reheating stage, the graviton mass oscillates coherently and leads to resonant amplification of the primordial tensor perturbation. After reheating the graviton mass vanishes and we recover GR.

description: BackgroundEpidemiologic evidence, reinforced by clinical and laboratory studies, shows that the rich Western diet is the major underlying cause of death and disability (e.g, from cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes) in Western industrialized societies. The objective of this study is to document the effects that eating a low-fat (≤10% of calories), high-carbohydrate (~80% of calories), moderate-sodium, purely plant-based diet ad libitum for 7days can have on the biomarkers of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.MethodsRetrospective analysis of measurements of weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids and estimation of cardiovascular disease risk at baseline and day 7 from 1615 participants in a 10-day residential dietary intervention program from 2002 to 2011. Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test was used for testing the significance of changes from baseline.ResultsThe median (interquartile range, IQR) weight loss was 1.4 (1.8) kg (p < .001). The median (IQR) decrease in total cholesterol was 22 (29) mg/dL (p < .001). Even though most antihypertensive and antihyperglycemic medications were reduced or discontinued at baseline, systolic blood pressure decreased by a median (IQR) of 8 (18) mm Hg (p < .001), diastolic blood pressure by a median (IQR) of 4 (10) mm Hg (p < .001), and blood glucose by a median (IQR) of 3 (11) mg/dL (p < .001). For patients whose risk of a cardiovascular event within 10years was >7.5% at baseline, the risk dropped to 5.5% (>27%) at day 7 (p < .001).ConclusionsA low-fat, starch-based, vegan diet eaten ad libitum for 7days results in significant favorable changes in commonly tested biomarkers that are used to predict future risks for cardiovascular disease and metabolic diseases.
