description: We measured the stellar velocity dispersions of 15 active galactic nucleus (AGN) host galaxies at redshifts as high as $\sim 0.34$. Combining these with published velocity dispersion measurements from the literature, we study the Fundamental Plane of AGN host galaxies and its evolution. BL Lac hosts and radio galaxies seem to lie on the same Fundamental Plane as normal early-type galaxies. The evolution of the mass-to-light ratio of AGN host galaxies shows a similar trend to that observed in normal early-type galaxies, consistent with single-burst passive evolution models with formation redshifts $z \gtrsim 1$. The lack of a significant difference between normal and AGN host galaxies in the Fundamental plane supports the "Grand Unification" picture wherein AGNs are a transient phase in the evolution of normal galaxies. The black hole masses of BL Lac objects and radio galaxies, derived using the mass -- dispersion relation, are similar. The black hole mass is independent of BL Lac type. The local black hole mass -- host galaxy luminosity relation of our sub-sample at $z < 0.1$ is similar to that of local normal and radio galaxies, but is less well defined at higher redshift due to the luminosity evolution of the host galaxies.

title: A Computational Model of the Cognition of Tonality
Creators: name: Milne, Andrew J.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2013

description: Tonality is the organization of pitches, both simultaneously and across time, so that certain pitches and chords are heard as attracted, in varying degrees, to other pitches and chords. Most art music from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries, and popular music to the present day, is heavily steeped in a musical language that makes use of tonality to define a ‘central’ most attractive pitch or chord called the tonic. It is widely thought that the feelings of expectancy and resolution induced by movements towards and away from the tonic allow composers to imbue tonal music with meaning and emotion. In this dissertation, I identify and model some of the innate processes by which feelings of tension, resolution, stability, and so forth, are induced by successions of pitches and chords, irrespective of their harmonic consonance. By innate, I mean processes that do not require the learning of a musical corpus—such processes are important because they provide explanations for why tonal music, and our cognition of it, take the specific forms they do. To do this, I introduce a novel family of mathematical methods—metrics applied to expectation tensors—for calculating the similarity of pitch collections. Importantly, such tensors can represent not just the notated pitches of tones, but also their spectral pitches (their harmonics). I then demonstrate how these techniques can be used to model participants’ ratings of the fits of tones in microtonal melodies, and the fits of all twelve chromatic pitches to an established key centre (Krumhansl’s probe tone data). The techniques can also be generalized to predict the tonics of any arbitrarily chosen scale—even scales with unfamiliar tunings. In summary, I demonstrate that psychoacoustic processes, which are innate and universal, play an important role in our cognition of tonality.
The Steinberg Tensor Product Theorem for General Linear Group Schemes in the Verlinde Category

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Representation Theory (math.RT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The Steinberg tensor product theorem is a fundamental result in the modular representation theory of reductive algebraic groups. It describes any finite-dimensional simple module of highest weight $λ$ over such a group as the tensor product of Frobenius twists of simple modules with highest weights the weights appearing in a $p$-adic decomposition of $λ$, thereby reducing the character problem to a a finite collection of weights. In recent years this theorem has been extended to various quasi-reductive supergroup schemes. In this paper, we prove the analogous result for the general linear group scheme $GL(X)$ for any object $X$ in the Verlinde category $\mathrm{Ver}_p$.

description: This thesis is broken down into four main chapters following the introduction. The first chapter outlines how the labor market is changing and how it might look like in five years. This is done by highlighting topics such as current trends that are shaping how we work, the growing freelancer economy and online talent platforms. The second chapter explores which types of business opportunity have already led to successful ventures, and how field service engineers in the mechanical engineering industry can capitalize on labor market changes. How could this group evolve over the coming years, following on the trends described in chapter one? Based on this opportunity, a business plan is introduced in chapter three. To this end, the business plan is divided into: executive summary, description of the business, technology plan, description of the industry, marketing plan, financial plan, required resources, organizational plan, operational plan and summary. In the final, the fourth chapter the results of the previous chapters are summarized.

description: The migratory dynamics of cells in physiological processes, ranging from wound healing to cancer metastasis, rely on contact-mediated cell-cell interactions. These interactions play a key role in shaping the stochastic trajectories of migrating cells. While data-driven physical formalisms for the stochastic migration dynamics of single cells have been developed, such a framework for the behavioral dynamics of interacting cells still remains elusive. Here, we monitor stochastic cell trajectories in a minimal experimental cell collider: a dumbbell-shaped micropattern on which pairs of cells perform repeated cellular collisions. We observe different characteristic behaviors, including cells reversing, following and sliding past each other upon collision. Capitalizing on this large experimental data set of coupled cell trajectories, we infer an interacting stochastic equation of motion that accurately predicts the observed interaction behaviors. Our approach reveals that interacting non-cancerous MCF10A cells can be described by repulsion and friction interactions. In contrast, cancerous MDA-MB-231 cells exhibit attraction and anti-friction interactions, promoting the predominant relative sliding behavior observed for these cells. Based on these experimentally inferred interactions, we show how this framework may generalize to provide a unifying theoretical description of the diverse cellular interaction behaviors of distinct cell types.

description: Many studies associate smallholders with negative attitudes towards weather index-based micro-insurance. This article analyses the perceptions of small-scale maize producers towards weather index insurance amid common risks and coping strategies. Findings do not strongly suggest a negative attitude towards weather index insurance among smallholders thus controverting hitherto studies. Rather, the study postulates that other risks facing smallholders and their risk responses disposition may distort and override farmers’ attitude towards weather index insurance. Further, results of the Ordered Probit model revealed that Sex of the household head, size of the household, if a farmer experienced crop loss in the previous farming seasons, off-farm income, if a farmer received compensation, the level of education of the household head, if the household head accessed Credit and group membership had a significant influence on the perception of the smallholders towards the index-based micro insurance scheme.

description: We introduce an SU(M)-symmetric disordered bipartite spin model with unusual characteristics. Although superficially similar to the Sachdev-Ye model, it has several markedly different properties for M>2. In particular, it has a large non-trivial nullspace whose dimension grows exponentially with system size. The states in this nullspace are frustration-free, and are ground states when the interactions are ferromagnetic. The exponential growth of the nullspace leads to Hilbert-space fragmentation and a violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. We demonstrate that the commutant algebra responsible for this fragmentation is a non-trivial subalgebra of the Read-Saleur commutant algebra of certain nearest-neighbour models such as the spin-1 biquadratic spin chain. We also discuss the low-energy behaviour of correlations for the disordered version of this model in the limit of a large number of spins and large M, using techniques similar to those applied to the SY model. We conclude by generalizing the Shiraishi-Mori embedding formalism to non-local models, and apply it to turn some of our nullspace states into quantum many-body scars.

description: This paper analyzes farmers’ decision to transact with the cooperatives, i.e., the propensity to cooperate. We aim to empirically analyze the driving factors affecting both cooperative membership and purchasing decisions of farmers in Algeria. The survey data was conducted within the National Program of Research including 625 sampled farmers. The study distin-guishes four types of participation according to farmers’ decision of membership and pur-chasing inputs. The empirical results from the Bivariate Probit regression model suggest that specialization, human capital, access to services, and geographic location are significant fac-tors that influence farmers’ propensity to cooperate and participation behavior as a devoted membership. This empirical finding has important implications for Algerian policy-makers in their efforts to promote efficient agricultural markets through producer cooperatives and other agricultural policies.

description: We show that a recent claim that matter wave interferometers have a much higher sensitivity than laser interferometers for a comparable physical setup is unfounded. We point out where the mistake in the earlier analysis is made. We also disprove the claim that only a description based on the geodesic deviation equation can produce the correct physical result. The equations for the quantum dynamics of non-relativistic massive particles in a linearly perturbed spacetime derived here are useful for treating a wider class of related physical problems. A general discussion on the use of atom interferometers for the detection of gravitational waves is also provided.
description: 16 pages, REVTeX4; minor changes, one figure and a few references were added, an additional appendix was included where we explain why, contrary to the claims in gr-qc/0409099, the effects due to the reflection off the mirrors cancel out in the final result for the phase shift

description: Different Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE) models have been proposed so far which are trained on some specific KG completion tasks such as link prediction and evaluated on datasets which are mainly created for such purpose. Mostly, the embeddings learnt on link prediction tasks are not applied for downstream tasks in real-world use-cases such as data available in different companies/organizations. In this paper, the challenges with enriching a KG which is generated from a real-world relational database (RDB) about companies, with information from external sources such as Wikidata and learning representations for the KG are presented. Moreover, a comparative analysis is presented between the KGEs and various text embeddings on some downstream clustering tasks. The results of experiments indicate that in use-cases like the one used in this paper, where the KG is highly skewed, it is beneficial to use text embeddings or language models instead of KGEs.

description: An analysis of the status of the Caribbean small ruminant industry has shown that the industry has come a long way from the time of sheep and goats introduction in the 15th and 16lh centuries and the realisation in the 1970s and 1980s of their economic potential. It is endowed with quality genetic resources some of which are exported, contributes to about 20% of mutton and chevon demands and benefits from some support and incentives. However, it is still a relatively young and unsophisticated industry, the continued development of which is mitigated by lack of or inconsistent policy on land availability and tenure, water use, praedial larceny, dog prédation, and post harvest controls, lack of marketing and other pertinent databases, insufficient numbers of appropriate germplasm, lack of diversity in production systems, enterprises and value added products, inadequate technology and information and communication delivery and the need for continuous human resources development. R&D strategies have been identified to deal with these factors and together with the collaboration and cooperation of stakeholders, and particularly the empowerment of producers to take active part in product development, processing and marketing alongside traditional processers and marketers it is posited that the industry will be on the path to accelerated development.

description: The objective of the study was to utilise carambola fruits in drinks and to investigate the quality changes on storage at 10 °C and 25 °C for 5 weeks. A survey was conducted by 125 questionnaires to guide the objectives of the research. Carambola drinks of 4 treatments (9 % and 12% sucrose with or without 3% orange juice) were processed with 0.2% xanthum gum, 0.125% citric acid, 0.1% sodium benzoate and 0.125% ascorbic acid and pasteurised at 90 °C for 5min. From survey, 86.4% of respondents have eaten carambola fruits, while 26.9% have consumed carambola drinks. Some respondents (51.9%) disliked the acid taste and short shelf-life of the fruits. A carambola/orange drink (12 °Brix) was most preferred (66.4%) by un-trained panelists and was liked moderately to like veiy much. On storage, there were no changes (P>0.05) in °Brix of drinks but products darken more at 25 °C than at 10 °C as indicated by 'L' values.

description: The European Healthcare systems will be changing dramatically in the coming years due to demographic shifts, budget constraints, and the need for innovation. The Healthcare industry is one of the industry sectors that is particularly vulnerable to corruption. While in the previous years the Compliance functions primarily focused on reactive and operational tasks, the time has now come to transfer Healthcare Compliance into a strategic asset, leveraging the knowledge on policies and regulations, but also on process weaknesses and unexplored correlations between stakeholders. It is worth evaluation the benefit from merging a legal-based Compliance function with an incubation oriented function, where ultimately the respective business will own the processes. Analysing the status-quo, elaborating on the various interests on the stakeholders groups, will be the basis to further explore how the potential of this function could be harvested. The intention of the survey amongst Healthcare Professionals of seven European Member States was to find common reasons for corruption problems as well as the external root causes which led to them. Emerging technology enablers and disrupters are prompting many enterprises to rethink their strategy, and the Healthcare Compliance is on the front of the implementation of many of these. If leveraged strategically, the Compliance function can help to identify new business opportunities, harvesting the internal information from monitoring and auditing. Collaboration with government bodies for the compliant and successful implementation of policies and regulations will also be a new way to generate advantages in the reimbursement negotiations. Value-based Healthcare, putting the benefit for the patient in the centre of the efforts, is changing the measurements for the sector. New ways to the patient, e.g. electronical services, create value but must be introduced by considering the legal framework, the different stakeholders, and the ethical aspects. The Healthcare Compliance function, integrated in the development of future business models, can be the competitive advantage for the long-term success and the establishment of new delivery models, new calculation models for reimbursement, and value-based treatment options.

description: Molecular-scale dynamics in sub- to super-critical water is studied with inelastic X-ray scattering and molecular dynamics simulations. The obtained longitudinal current correlation spectra can be decomposed into two main components: a low-frequency (LF), gas-like component and a high-frequency (HF) component arising from the O--O stretching mode between hydrogen-bonded molecules, reminiscent of the longitudinal acoustic mode in ambient water. With increasing temperature, the hydrogen-bond network diminishes and the spectral weight shifts from HF to LF, leading to a transition from liquid-like to gas-like dynamics with rapid changes around the Widom line.

description: We lift the constraint of a diagonal representation of the Hamiltonian by searching for square integrable bases that support an infinite tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. The class of solutions obtained as such includes the discrete (for bound states) as well as the continuous (for scattering states) spectrum of the Hamiltonian. The problem translates into finding solutions of the resulting three-term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients of the wavefunction. These are written in terms of orthogonal polynomials, some of which are modified versions of known polynomials. The examples given, which are not exhaustive, include problems in one and three dimensions.

CGNSDE: Conditional Gaussian Neural Stochastic Differential Equation for Modeling Complex Systems and Data Assimilation

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: A new knowledge-based and machine learning hybrid modeling approach, called conditional Gaussian neural stochastic differential equation (CGNSDE), is developed to facilitate modeling complex dynamical systems and implementing analytic formulae of the associated data assimilation (DA). In contrast to the standard neural network predictive models, the CGNSDE is designed to effectively tackle both forward prediction tasks and inverse state estimation problems. The CGNSDE starts by exploiting a systematic causal inference via information theory to build a simple knowledge-based nonlinear model that nevertheless captures as much explainable physics as possible. Then, neural networks are supplemented to the knowledge-based model in a specific way, which not only characterizes the remaining features that are challenging to model with simple forms but also advances the use of analytic formulae to efficiently compute the nonlinear DA solution. These analytic formulae are used as an additional computationally affordable loss to train the neural networks that directly improve the DA accuracy. This DA loss function promotes the CGNSDE to capture the interactions between state variables and thus advances its modeling skills. With the DA loss, the CGNSDE is more capable of estimating extreme events and quantifying the associated uncertainty. Furthermore, crucial physical properties in many complex systems, such as the translate-invariant local dependence of state variables, can significantly simplify the neural network structures and facilitate the CGNSDE to be applied to high-dimensional systems. Numerical experiments based on chaotic systems with intermittency and strong non-Gaussian features indicate that the CGNSDE outperforms knowledge-based regression models, and the DA loss further enhances the modeling skills of the CGNSDE.
Measurement of the London penetration depth in the Meissner state of NbSe₂ using low energy polarized ⁸Li
Creators: name: Hossain, Md Masrur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In this thesis, the Meissner state of NbSe₂ was investigated using low energy beam of spin polarized ⁸Li. The ⁸Li nuclear spin relaxation rate 1/T₁ was measured as a function of temperature and magnetic field. The spin relaxation rate is sensitive to low frequency nuclear spin dynamics of the host Nb spins and is strongly field dependent. This is used to determine the reduction in the magnetic field upon cooling into the Meissner state. Using a calculated implantation profile and a model field distribution, one can extract a measure of the absolute value of the London penetration depth λ in Meissner state. In addition, a model field distribution, assuming a suppression of order parameter near surface, was developed. In this case, we can extract another length scale which is related to the "coherence" length ξ. The value of λ depends on the model field distribution but is significantly longer than that obtained previously in the vortex state using μSR. From the measured internal magnetic field distribution, London penetration λL is extracted as a function of temperature. There is also evidence of the coherence peak in 1/T₁ of host nuclear spins. λL( T ) follows the two-fluid model of superconductivity. Depending on the model for internal field distribution, λL(0) varies in the range (1795-2434) °A.

description: В статье рассматриваются литературно-эстетические споры 1840– 1850-х гг. и отношение к ним Ю. Ф. Самарина и Л. Н. Толстого. Материалом исследования стали статьи Самарина, дневниковые записи и письма Толстого. Оценка, данная Толстым спору славянофилов и западников о роли реформ Петра I, вполне согласуется с выводами Самарина на эту тему: в основе своей реформы не были преступлением, но внесли в русскую жизнь неизбежное зло — разлучение образованных сословий с народом. Отношение к петровским преобразованиям обусловило формирование эстетических воззрений представителей различных литературных направлений. Толстой, заявив о неприятии обличительной литературы, занял ту же позицию, что и Самарин, являвшийся последовательным противником «натуральной школы». Раздумья о современном литературном процессе для Толстого были связаны в этот период с самым важным для него вопросом: посвящать ли всего себя литературе. Итогом сомнений и полемики стали для Толстого уход из журнала «Современник» в 1858 г. и попытка создания собственного художественного журнала. Знакомство Самарина и Толстого состоялось в мае 1856 г. Общение их продолжалось в 1860-е и 1870-е гг. Толстой подолгу беседовал с Самариным, обсуждая философские, исторические и литературные темы во время работы над романами «Война и мир» и «Анна Каренина». В письме 1867 г. Толстой признался, что Самарин был самым близким ему человеком «в мире нравственно-умственном». В статье сделан вывод о значимости литературно-эстетических и исторических взглядов Самарина для Толстого.

description: Main objectives of this master thesis are to identify best practices contributing to enhancement of performance of start-up accelerators in Europe and US, and to provide recommendations for start-up ecosystem stakeholders in creation of better environment for start-up accelerators creation, and functioning. Authors have decided on international literature review, electronic audit of official websites of start-up accelerators, mystery stakeholder method, and electronic surveys with start-up accelerators- managing teams. While European start-up accelerators basing on Austria and Poland are relatively new form of entrepreneurship support ecosystem, a set of best practices and recommendations for its stakeholders deriving from more mature model in USA can be indicated. Also start-up accelerators based in the US can derive from experience worked out by their European counterparts. In relation to countries investigated, it seems necessary to create instruments fostering start-up accelerators creation by public authorities, as well as to foster dissemination of the best practices between existing start-up accelerators. The originality of this master thesis lies in research of recent, international literature on the subject, and empirical research performed, resulting in variety of idiosyncratic, applicable conclusions for start-up ecosystem stakeholders.

description: We detail a method to produce a GeV-photon source with polarisation purity exceeding $96\%$ and $89\%$ for linear and circular polarisation respectively and with a brilliance of the order of $10^{21}\,\textrm{photons}/(\textrm{s}~\textrm{mm}^2~\textrm{mrad}^2~0.1\%~\textrm{BW})$. Using currently available multi-GeV electron bunches and laser pulses of moderately relativistic intensities, we show how the weakly nonlinear regime can produce photons polarised mainly parallel to the laser field. We demonstrate the robustness of this scheme by considering electron bunches of various emissivities colliding with linearly and circularly-polarised laser pulses at a range of angles.

description: This report summarises the podcast series “Exploring Citizen Science” produced as part of the COESO project’s communication and dissemination activities. Included is a brief description of COESO, each of the nine podcast episodes, their publication dates, the corresponding artwork, and links to download to the episodes.

COESO consortium partner Bulle Media created the podcast series in fulfilment of the COESO task 7.4, “Realisation of Podcasts and Articles series”. The podcast episodes were developed and recorded between January 2022 and July 2023 in collaboration with Bulle Media and the COESO coordination team. The production involved on-site and remotely organised interviews, mostly with select COESO pilot project members, COESO consortium members.

The podcast series was conceptualised as an experimental non-fiction reportage podcast about citizen-science for the purpose of disseminating to a general audience about what citizen-science is and why it matters, with a focus in particular citizen science on citizen science in the social sciences and humanities, as seen through the lenses of the researchers, project managers and citizens involved in the COESO project, and mediated by a first-person journalist's narration.

description: We consider the problem of computing dynamic correlation functions of quantum integrable models employing the thermodynamic form-factor approach. Specifically, we focus on correlations of local operators that conserve the number of particles and consider the 2-particle-hole contribution to their two-point functions. With the method developed being generally applicable to any finite energy and entropy state, our primary focus is on the thermal states. To exemplify this approach, we chose the Lieb-Liniger model and study the leading contribution from 2-particle-hole excitations at small momenta to the dynamic density-density correlation function. We also consider analogous contributions to two-point functions of higher local conserved densities and currents present in integrable theories.

description: The classical Cayley map, X --> (I_n-X)/(I_n+X), is a birational isomorphism between the special orthogonal group SO_n and its Lie algebra so_n, which is SO_n-equivariant with respect to the conjugating and adjoint actions respectively. We ask whether or not maps with these properties can be constructed for other algebraic groups. We show that the answer is usually "no", with a few exceptions. In particular, we show that a Cayley map for the group SL_n exists if and only if n <= 3. This answers an old question of Luna.

description: Miniature golden apple fruit (Spondias cytherea) were harvested at three stages of maturity (immature, mature-green and breaker stages) and stored at 9°C, 21°C and 31°C for up to 14 days. Throughout storage, fruit were evaluated for carbon dioxide (C02) and ethylene (C2H4) production rates. For fruit at all three maturity stages stored at 9°C, respiration rates remained very low throughout storage increasing rapidly beyond 12 days at which time both senescence and chilling injury symptoms were well established. For fruit stored at 21°C and 31°C, respiration rates increased over time with senescence occurring in immature fruit and ripening occurring in mature-green and turning fruit. Ethylene was only detected at 21°C and 31°C and increased over time in fruit at all maturity stages. The respiratory pattern of the miniature golden apple was typical of a climacteric fruit. In immature fruit the rise in the rate of ethylene production occurred beyond 4 days and coincided with the climacteric rise of respiration and external evidence of senescence. In mature-green and turning fruit the rise in the rate of ethylene production occurred beyond days 5 and 4 respectively and also coincided with increased respiration rates.

description: Segmentation of fetal brain tissue from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in the study of in utero neurodevelopment. However, automated tools face substantial domain shift challenges as they must be robust to highly heterogeneous clinical data, often limited in numbers and lacking annotations. Indeed, high variability of the fetal brain morphology, MRI acquisition parameters, and superresolution reconstruction (SR) algorithms adversely affect the model's performance when evaluated out-of-domain. In this work, we introduce FetalSynthSeg, a domain randomization method to segment fetal brain MRI, inspired by SynthSeg. Our results show that models trained solely on synthetic data outperform models trained on real data in out-ofdomain settings, validated on a 120-subject cross-domain dataset. Furthermore, we extend our evaluation to 40 subjects acquired using lowfield (0.55T) MRI and reconstructed with novel SR models, showcasing robustness across different magnetic field strengths and SR algorithms. Leveraging a generative synthetic approach, we tackle the domain shift problem in fetal brain MRI and offer compelling prospects for applications in fields with limited and highly heterogeneous data.

description: The chili plum is found throughout the Caribbean and Central American regions and is consumed in the fresh and processed states. Respiration and ethylene production rates were determined in fruit harvested at three different stages of maturation (immature, mature-green and turning) when stored up to 14 days at 4-5°C, 9-10°C, 20-21°C and 30-31°C. In a second experiment (experiment two), respiration and ethylene production rates were again determined however in fruit harvested at six different stages of maturity (very immature, immature, mature-green, turning, half-ripe and full-ripe) when stored up to 9 days at 9-10°C and 20-21°C. At 9-10°C, respiration rates declined in all fruit within 2 days with half-ripe fruit having the highest respiration rates by day 3. From days 3-5, while respiration rates declined for half-ripe and turning fruit, it increased for very immature, immature and mature-green fruit, then declined. At 20-21°C, half-ripe fruit exhibited more pronounced climacteric peaks than mature-green and turning fruit. Half-ripe and turning fruit exhibited climacteric peaks of respiration after 3 days while mature-green fruit did so one day later. Fruit underwent the post-climacteric respiratory phase within 24 hours after attaining their climacteric peaks. Ethylene was only detected at 20-21 °C with peak production rates coinciding with the post-climacteric phase for full-ripe and turning fruit. Respiration and ethylene production rates of the chili plum were typical of a climacteric fruit.

Stratification of polymer mixtures in drying droplets: hydrodynamics and diffusion
Creators: name: Howard, Michael P.

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We study the evaporation-induced stratification of a mixture of short and long polymer chains in a drying droplet using molecular simulations. We systematically investigate the effects of hydrodynamic interactions (HI) on this process by comparing hybrid simulations accounting for HI between polymers through the multiparticle collision dynamics technique with free-draining Langevin dynamics simulations neglecting the same. We find that the dried supraparticle morphologies are homogeneous when HI are included but are stratified in core--shell structures (with the short polymers forming the shell) when HI are neglected. The simulation methodology unambiguously attributes this difference to the treatment of the solvent in the two models. We rationalize the presence (or absence) of stratification by measuring phenomenological multicomponent diffusion coefficients for the polymer mixtures. The diffusion coefficients show the importance of not only solvent backflow but also HI between polymers in controlling the dried supraparticle morphology.

description: This investigation provided an overview of the handling practices by individuals involved in the fish trade, consumer perception and quality of fresh carite offered for sale. Landing sites, wholesale and retail markets were visited and face-to-face interviews were conducted with fishermen, wholesalers, retailers and consumers. Microbiological and sensory analyses were performed on whole and gutted fish. All the facilities for handling and trading of fish were grossly under-equipped and in poor hygienic condition. Most consumers viewed whole fish as being 'fresh' and of superior quality compared to eviscerated fish. Fish was of best sensory quality when landed and of worse quality at the retail vendors' stalls. Several recommendations were provided for improvement of quality.
