description: The purpose of this manuscript is to review published literature regarding the role of OCT in the preoperative evaluation of candidates to cataract surgery with MIOL and the postoperative impact these IOL can have in OCT evaluation of the posterior segment. We also update current knowledge about MIOL use in glaucoma patients and the effect this IOL technology can have in visual field assessment after surgery. Furthermore, we present our data regarding a small group of patients with healthy eyes who underwent phacoemulsification and implantation of a MIOL: extended depth of focus TECNIS Symfony (Abbott Medical Optics, Santa Ana, USA) or trifocal Finevision (PhysIOL, Liége, Belgium). We analyzed the results of postoperative macular imaging using Cirrus HD-OCT 4000 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) and postoperative automated perimetry testing with Humphrey Visual Field 30-2, SITA-standard (Carl Zeiss Meditec).

description: The objective of the paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the governance of the food networks focusing on two related aspect: the integration among the agents and the adaptation in the face of emerging disturbances. The paper aims at addressing the problem on what are the role of the adaptation processes in the implementation of sustainable strategies in Food Networks. Adaptation is a central problem of economic organisations (Williamson, 1985, 1991), and its conceptualisation is integrated within complementary theoretical perspectives. Among them, the adaptation theory asks whether integration or non-integration better facilitates ‘adaptive, sequential decision making’ in the sense of Williamson (Gibbon, 2005, p. 205). According to Gibbons (2005) the adaptive, sequential decision-making is modelled in terms of contracting the ex ante allocation of critical decisions rights across firms boundaries to the party who is expected to maximize the total surplus of the relationship. After having elaborated and presented the theoretical framework, the paper illustrates and discusses six cases of governance agreement. Three cases concern with agreement arranged at the Italian National level, three cases regard regional level Food Networks. Beyond the differences in the institutional environments, the cases also differ because of the degree of integration. The field research was carried out by documents analysis and interviews. The paper contributes to the literature by corroborating the theoretical hypothesis (Gibbons, 2005; Wu, 2006) and providing empirical information about the management of Food Networks in the face of emerging disturbances in critical fields: sustainability, quality systems and innovation.

description: The life cycle approach is widely used in the analysis of sustainability. Its application to supply chains is necessary since the product flows, from processing of raw materials to the final customer, are considered. The role of the organizational aspects, expressed in terms of relationships between the supply chain agents, is little considered in the life cycle analysis approach. The aim of this paper is to extend the scope of the food chain life cycle analysis by adding the organizational dimension to the environmental, economic and social ones. Within this context, Collaboration and Sustainable Relationships concepts have been explored based on a literature survey. A theoretical framework, describing their role in assessing the organizational dimension in the life cycle analysis of the food supply chains, is defined. A hypothesis on their joint influence on the supply chains performances is formulated.

description: To determine if the SuperNova Empirical Model (SNEMO) can improve Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) standardization of several currently available photometric data sets, we perform an initial test, comparing results with the much-used SALT2 approach. We fit the SNEMO light-curve parameters and pass them to the Bayesian hierarchical model UNITY1.2 to estimate the Tripp-like standardization coefficients, including a host mass term as a proxy for redshift dependent astrophysical systematics. We find that, among the existing large data sets, only the Carnegie Supernova Project data set consistently provides the signal-to-noise and time sampling necessary to constrain the additional five parameters that SNEMO7 incorporates beyond SALT2. This is an important consideration for future SN Ia surveys like LSST and WFIRST. Although the SNEMO7 parameters are poorly constrained by most of the other available data sets of light curves, we find that the SNEMO2 parameters are just as well-constrained as the SALT2 parameters. In addition, SNEMO2 and SALT2 have comparable unexplained intrinsic scatter when fitting the same data. When looking at the total scatter, SNEMO7 reduces the Hubble-Lemaitre diagram RMS from 0.148~mag to 0.141~mag. It is not then, the SNEMO methodology, but the interplay of data quality and the increased number of degrees of freedom that is behind these reduced constraints. With this in mind, we recommend further investigation into the data required to use SNEMO7 and the possibility of fitting the poorer photometry data with intermediate SNEMO-like models with three to six components.

description: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic in March 2020. This rapid systematic review synthesised published reports of medical educational developments in response to the pandemic, considering descriptions of interventions, evaluation data and lessons learned. The authors systematically searched four online databases and hand searched MedEdPublish up to 24 May 2020. Two authors independently screened titles, abstracts and full texts, performed data extraction and assessed risk of bias for included articles. Discrepancies were resolved by a third author. A descriptive synthesis and outcomes were reported. Forty-nine articles were included. The majority were from North America, Asia and Europe. Sixteen studies described Kirkpatrick’s outcomes, with one study describing levels 1–3. A few papers were of exceptional quality, though the risk of bias framework generally revealed capricious reporting of underpinning theory, resources, setting, educational methods, and content. Key developments were pivoting educational delivery from classroom-based learning to virtual spaces, replacing clinical placement based learning with alternate approaches, and supporting direct patient contact with mitigated risk. Training for treating patients with COVID-19, service reconfiguration, assessment, well-being, faculty development, and admissions were all addressed, with the latter categories receiving the least attention. This review highlights several areas of educational response in the immediate aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and identifies a few articles of exceptional quality that can serve as models for future developments and educational reporting. There was often a lack of practical detail to support the educational community in enactment of novel interventions, as well as limited evaluation data. However, the range of options deployed offers much guidance for the medical education community moving forward and there was an indication that outcome data and greater detail will be reported in the future.

description: The internal energies, including transverse and longitudinal parts, of quantum Heisenberg systems for arbitrary spin S are investigated by the double-time Green's function method. The expressions for ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) systems are derived when one component of magnetization is considered with the higher order longitudinal correlation functions being carefully treated. An unexpected result is that around the order and disorder transition points the neighboring spins in a FM (AFM) system are more likely longitudinally antiparallel (parallel) than parallel (antiparallel) to each other for S<=3/2 in spite of the FM (AFM) exchange between the spins. This is attributed to the strong quantum fluctuation of the systems with small S values. We also present the expressions of the internal energies of FM systems when the three-component of magnetizations are considered.

description: We develop methods for calculating the zero-frequency noise for quantum shuttles, i.e. nanoelectromechanical devices where the mechanical motion is quantized. As a model system we consider a three-dot array, where the internal electronic coherence both complicates and enriches the physics. Two different formulations are presented: (i) quantum regression theorem, and (ii) the counting variable approach. It is demonstrated, both analytically and numerically, that the two formulations yield identical results, when the conditions of their respective applicability are fulfilled. We describe the results of extensive numerical calculations for current and current noise (Fano factor), based on a solution of a Markovian generalized master equation. The results for the current and noise are further analyzed in terms of Wigner functions, which help to distinguish different transport regimes (in particular, shuttling vs. cotunneling). In the case of weak inter-dot coupling, the electron transport proceeds via sequential tunneling between neighboring dots. A simple rate equation with the rates calculated analytically from the P(E)-theory is developed and shown to agree with the full numerics.

description: Quantization of the Teichmüller space of a non-compact Riemann surface has emerged in 1980's as an approach to three dimensional quantum gravity. For any choice of an ideal triangulation of the surface, Thurston's shear coordinate functions on the edges form a coordinate system for the Teichmüller space, and they should be replaced by suitable self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space. Upon a change of triangulations, one must construct a unitary operator between the Hilbert spaces intertwining the quantum coordinate operators and satisfying the composition identities up to multiplicative phase constants. In the well-known construction by Chekhov, Fock and Goncharov, the quantum coordinate operators form a family of reducible representations, and the phase constants are all trivial. In the present paper, we employ the harmonic-analytic theory of the Shale-Weil intertwiners for the Schrödinger representations, as well as Faddeev-Kashaev's quantum dilogarithm function, to construct a family of irreducible representations of the quantum shear coordinate functions and the corresponding intertwiners for the changes of triangulations. The phase constants are explicitly computed and described by the Maslov indices of the Lagrangian subspaces of a symplectic vector space, and by the pentagon relation of the flips of triangulations. The present work may generalize to the cluster $\mathscr{X}$-varieties.

Dapor-Liegener formalism of loop quantum cosmology for Bianchi I spacetimes

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We discuss the quantization of vacuum Bianchi I spacetimes in the modified formalism of loop quantum cosmology recently proposed by Dapor and Liegener. This modification is based on a regularization procedure where both the Euclidean and Lorentzian terms of the Hamiltonian are treated independently. Whereas the Euclidean part has already been dealt with in the literature for Bianchi I spacetimes, the Lorentzian one has not yet been represented quantum mechanically. After a brief review of the quantum kinematics and the quantization of the Euclidean sector, we represent the Lorentzian part of the Hamiltonian constraint by an operator according to the factor ordering rules of the Martin-Benito--Mena Marugan--Olmedo prescription. We study the general properties of this quantum operator and the superselection rules derived therefrom, resulting in an action similar to that of the Euclidean operator except that the orientation of the densitized triad is not preserved, a fact which leads to a generic enlargement of the superselection sectors. We conclude with an explanation of the mechanism that prevents this enlargement in the isotropic case and a comment on the effect of alternative prescriptions for the implementation of the improved dynamics.

Non-Markov Excursion Set Model of Dark Matter Halo Abundances
Creators: name: Amosov, Grigori
name: Schuecker, Peter
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The excursion set model provides a convenient theoretical framework to derive dark matter halo abundances. This paper generalizes the model by introducing a more realistic merging and collapse process. A new parameter regulates the influence of the environment and thus the coherence (non-Markovianity) of the merging and the collapse of individual mass shells. The model mass function also includes the effects of an ellipsoidal collapse. Analytic approximations of the halo mass function are derived for scale-invariant power spectra with the slopes $n=0,-1,-2$. The $n=-2$ mass function can be compared with the results obtained from the `Hubble volume' simulations. A significant detection of non-Markovian effects is found for an assumed accuracy of the simulated mass function of 10%.

description: The aim of this contribution is to analyse the price behaviour of the second to eleventh strongest brewers on the Czech market on the basis of the price behaviour of the price leader, this being Plzeňský Prazdroj (a member of SABMiller). Using monthly prices (the number of observations is generally 108 periods), is modelled the length of delay between the price leader and the other breweries making a price change. A linear regressive analysis is used to produce the model. The beer brands are divided into 3 segments: super- premium, mainstream and non-alcoholic beer and prices are modelled separately for barrelled and bottled beer if the data is available to allow it. The results of each brewery’s behaviour are summarised in conclusion. The information presented in the article is the product of working on the Research Plan MSM 6046070906, “The Economics of Czech agriculture resources and their efficient use within a multifunctional agri-food systems framework”.

description: The $α$- decay half-lives of the superheavy nuclei are systematically studied using different versions of proximity potential and a exact method to calculate Coulomb potential between spherical and deformed nuclei in the framework of the double folding model. To reproduce the $α$-decay half-life, the experimental $α$-decay energy and Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation have been used. It is found that the computed values by the Ng$\hat{o}$ 80 are in good compromise with the experimental half-lives in comparison with other versions. Also, by using this version and within $Q_{WS4}$ for determination $α$-decay energies for superheavy elements, we had predicted the $α$-decay half-lives for superheavy nuclei which have not been reported yet. The long half-lives with magnitude about $100$ seconds are predicted for the superheavy nuclei which are not in stability islands which indicating remarkable stability in comparison with their neighbors. These results are also in good agreement with the predictions of other semi-empirical formulas.

Material/Métodos: Estudo transversal que incluiu doentes com o diagnóstico de GPS e GPAA. Registaram-se os dados demográficos, as espessuras da LC e da camada de fibras nervosas peri-papilar (CFNPP) segmentar e global, a pressão intra-ocular (PIO), o mean defect (MD) da perimetria estática computorizada (Octopus®), a HC e o factor de resistência corneano, de todos os doentes incluídos no estudo. Para a análise dos dados recorreu-se aos testes de Mann-Whitney e Spearman (SPSS®). A significância estatística foi estabelecida para p<0.05. Resultados: Foram incluídos 29 olhos (18 doentes) com GPS e 28 olhos (19 doentes) com GPAA. Verificou-se a correlação entre a espessura da LC e a HC no grupo GPAA (Spearman r=-0.370, p=0.048). A mediana da HC revelou-se significativamente inferior no GPAA (p=0.006) e a mediana da espessura da LC, significativamente inferior no grupo GPS (p<0.001). Conclusão: Este estudo revelou uma associação entre a HC e a espessura da LC nos doentes com GPAA, e confirmou a menor espessura da LC nos doentes com GPS, relativamente aos doentes com GPAA. Ambos poderão constituir importantes factores de prognóstico do GPAA e GPS. No entanto, são necessários mais estudos de forma a avaliar as consequências clínicas e terapêuticas dos resultados apresentados.

description: It has been suggested by Timmermans [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 240403 (2001)] that loss of fermions in a degenerate system causes strong heating. We address the fundamental limit imposed by this loss on the temperature that may be obtained by sympathetic cooling of fermions by bosons. Both a quantum Boltzmann equation and a quantum Boltzmann \emph{master} equation are used to study the evolution of the occupation number distribution. It is shown that, in the thermodynamic limit, the Fermi gas cools to a minimal temperature $k_{\rm B}T/μ\propto(γ_{\rm loss}/γ_{\rm coll})^{0.44}$, where $γ_{\rm loss}$ is a constant loss rate, $γ_{\rm coll}$ is the bare fermion--boson collision rate not including the reduction due to Fermi statistics, and $μ\sim k_{\rm B}T_{\rm F}$ is the chemical potential. It is demonstrated that, beyond the thermodynamic limit, the discrete nature of the momentum spectrum of the system can block cooling. The unusual non-thermal nature of the number distribution is illustrated from several points of view: the Fermi surface is distorted, and in the region of zero momentum the number distribution can descend to values significantly less than unity. Our model explicitly depends on a constant evaporation rate, the value of which can strongly affect the minimum temperature.

description: The present paper deals with the simulation of the impact of selected measures of government reforms in the beef market in the Czech Republic. The selected measures of government reforms are defined and specified on the base of available resources in the introduction. Subsequently, these measures are simulated by the model of partial equilibrium of defined market in the practical part. The impacts of the measures on both supply and demand of selected market are then commented, based on formal econometric quantification and verification of model outputs. The analyzed government measures are included in the form of an expected increase in VAT, the movement of the Czech crown, the development of consumer income and the price expectancy in vertical of beef. The results predict negative consequences on domestic market, in particular on the supply side, in the form of a relatively significant reduction in the number of pieces of cattle. These can result in reducing the number of enterprises with intensive fattening or in shifting their focus to other commodities of vegetable nature. On the demand side, the analyzed measures are likely to bring short-term price reductions. However, the steep growth accompanied by a reduction in quality of meat products can be reasonable expected in the long run.

description: Purpose: To study the effective lens position concept in second eye refinement (SER) cataract surgery, by relating inter-ocular symmetry of pseudophakic anterior chamber depth (pACD) and SER refractive outcomes. Methods: One hundred and twelve patients were identified as having performed bilateral consecutive cataract surgery. Prediction errors for the first and second eyes were calculated for 3 formulae (HofferQ, SRK/T and Holladay1). A 50% adjustment of the first eye prediction error was used in the intra-ocular lens (IOL) power selection of the second eye. Refractive outcomes were compared using the mean absolute error (MAE). Pentacam HR was used to measured pACD, and consecutive 50µm increments in inter-ocular asymmetry were used to assess refractive outcomes. Results: The resulting MAE after the 50% SER was significantly lower in all formulas compared with no adjustment: 0.30D compared with 0.36D (p=0.009) for HofferQ, 0.26D compared with 0.31D (p=0.022) for SRK/T and 0.27D compared with 0.33D (p=0.012) for Holladay1. The pACD was significantly correlated between the first and second eyes (r=0.714; p<0.001). In all formulas, when the inter-ocular difference in pACD was higher than 350µm (11.36% of patients), the MAE resulting from SER was significantly higher and not different when comparing with the no adjustment group. Conclusions: To our knowledge this is the first study to relate SER outcomes with the measured effective lens position. SER is a valid and promising strategy to improve cataract surgery refractive outcomes in cases of pACD inter-ocular asymmetry up to 350µm.

description: We present the results of the first neutron powder and single crystal diffraction studies of the coupled spin tetrahedra systems ${\CuTeX}$ (X=Cl, Br). Incommensurate antiferromagnetic order with the propagation vectors ${\bf{k}_{Cl}}\approx[0.150,0.422,\half]$, ${\bf{k}_{Br}}\approx[0.158,0.354,\half]$ sets in below $T_{N}$=18 K for X=Cl and 11 K for X=Br. No simple collinear antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic arrangements of moments within Cu${}^{2+}$ tetrahedra fit these observations. Fitting the diffraction data to more complex but physically reasonable models with multiple helices leads to a moment of 0.67(1)$μ_B$/Cu${}^{2+}$ at 1.5 K for the Cl-compound. The reason for such a complex ground state may be geometrical frustration of the spins due to the intra- and inter-tetrahedral couplings having similar strengths. The magnetic moment in the Br- compound, calculated assuming it has the same magnetic structure as the Cl compound, is only 0.51(5)$μ_B$/Cu${}^{2+}$ at 1.5 K. In neither compound has any evidence for a structural transition accompanying the magnetic ordering been found.

description: This paper deals with an examination of the selected time series and an examination of price transmission in the selected agri-food chain. The analysis is connected with the working question of whether the selection of time series influences the results of price transmission. The analysis is focused on the pork agri-food chain in the Czech Republic; the time series of farm-gate price, wholesale price and consumer price is examined. First of all, the main properties of the selected time series are examined; subsequently, price transmissions based on time series of different frequency and in different periods are analyzed. The price transmission analysis is based on multivariate time series analysis; to be precise, the Vector error correction model and co-integration analysis are employed. The analysis shows that the choice of time series of different frequency should not significantly influence the results of price transmission, whereas the choice of time period might be crucial. The results presented in this paper are outputs of the research project “P402/11/P591 Modelling of price transmission and its asymmetry in agri-food chain – theoretical-empirical implications” supported by Czech Science Foundation.

description: This work deals with charged nontopological solutions that appear in relativistic models described by a single complex scalar field in two-dimensional spacetime. We study a model which supports novel analytical configurations of the Q-ball type, that engender double exponential tails, in this sense being different from both the standard and compact Q-balls. The analytical solutions are also stable, both classically and quantum-mechanically, and the stability follows as in the case of the compact configurations.

description: We investigate a generalisation of the three dimensional spring-pendulum system. The problem depends on two real parameters $(k,a)$, where $k$ is the Young modulus of the spring and $a$ describes the nonlinearity of elastic forces. We show that this system is not integrable when $k\neq -a$. We carefully investigated the case $k= -a$ when the necessary condition for integrability given by the Morales-Ramis theory is satisfied. We discuss an application of the higher order variational equations for proving the non-integrability in this case.

Hole mobility of strained GaN from first principles

description: Nitride semiconductors are ubiquitous in optoelectronic devices such as LEDs and Blu-Ray optical disks. A major limitation for further adoption of GaN in power electronics is its low hole mobility. In order to address this challenge, here we investigate the phonon-limited mobility of wurtzite GaN using the ab initio Boltzmann transport formalism, including all electron-phonon scattering processes, spin-orbit coupling, and many-body quasiparticle band structures. We demonstrate that the mobility is dominated by acoustic deformation-potential scattering, and we predict that the hole mobility can significantly be increased by lifting the split-off hole states above the light and heavy holes. This can be achieved by reversing the sign of the crystal-field splitting via strain or via coherent excitation the A$_1$ optical phonon through ultrafast infrared optical pulses.

description: Genus Aleuropleurocelus Drews and Sampson 1956
 Comments. The puparium of all known species of this genus are very dark and need to be bleached before slide mounting. The waxy secretions present on the dorsum are often difficult to remove. Description of this genus can be found in Drews and Sampson (1956) with discussion by Martin (2005). In Nevada this genus appears to be limited to plants of the arid or semi-arid areas of the chaparral community, such as Eriodictyon sp. (Yerba Santa) and desert oaks in Nevada. Of the twelve known species in Aleuropleurocelus, two described species occur in Nevada. To these are added a new species and we document one unidentified species.
