description: Rasagiline is a monoamine oxidase B inhibitor for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study assessed the safety and effectiveness of rasagiline in patients with PD in routine clinical practice in Japan. This multicenter, prospective, observational study (148 sites) enrolled patients (1 November 2018−31 October 2020) with PD. Patients received rasagiline orally 1 mg once daily; maximum observation period was 24 months. The incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) was evaluated; effectiveness was assessed using the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III total score. The safety analysis set comprised 961 patients (mean age, 72.50 years; 53.80% female; mean duration of PD, 6.82 years). Mean treatment duration was 14.74 months, with 42.25% receiving rasagiline for ≥ 19 months; 189 (19.67%) had ≥ 1 ADR. Common ADRs were dyskinesia (4.06%), orthostatic hypotension (2.29%), hallucination (1.87%), visual hallucination, nausea, fall (1.56% each), dizziness (1.35%), and somnolence (1.25%). Mean (standard deviation) UPDRS Part III total score was 28.5 (14.35) at baseline and 25.5 (14.98) at the final assessment. No new concerns in safety and effectiveness regarding rasagiline in Japanese patients with PD were raised.

description: We propose a mesh refinement technique for solving elliptic difference equations on unbounded domains based on the fast lattice Green's function (FLGF) method. The FLGF method exploits the regularity of the Cartesian mesh and uses the fast multipole method in conjunction with fast Fourier transforms to yield linear complexity and decrease time-to-solution. We extend this method to a multi-resolution scheme and allow for locally refined Cartesian blocks embedded in the computational domain. Appropriately chosen interpolation and regularization operators retain consistency between the discrete Laplace operator and its inverse on the unbounded domain. Second-order accuracy and linear complexity are maintained, while significantly reducing the number of degrees of freedom and hence the computational cost.

description: Physical and occupational therapists play a key role in the implementation of hip surveillance for children with cerebral palsy (CP) in British Columbia, Canada. We aimed to develop and assess a knowledge translation strategy to support the implementation of a provincial hip surveillance program. Pediatric therapists were invited to participate in an anonymous survey assessing hip surveillance knowledge and learning needs. Based on these results, educational materials were developed. Two years later, one year following the launch of the hip surveillance program, the survey was repeated to assess learning, knowledge use, and barriers to enrollment. The initial survey was completed by 102 therapists; 74 therapists completed the second survey. Multifaceted educational strategies, including web-based learning, in-person education, email notifications, and print materials that targeted knowledge gaps were developed. Upon re-evaluation, knowledge increased on all questions. At follow-up, 45 therapists had enrolled a child, indicating knowledge use. Barriers to enrollment included lack of a CP diagnosis, parents or physicians not agreeing to enrollment, time requirements, and lack of space to complete the clinical exam. Targeted knowledge translation strategies were successful in meeting the educational requirements of a large group of therapists in a vast geographic area.

description: Space-based ultra-high-energy cosmic ray detectors observe fluorescence light from extensive air showers produced by these particles in the troposphere. Clouds can scatter and absorb this light and produce systematic errors in energy determination and spectrum normalization. We study the possibility of using IR remote sensing data from MODIS and GOES satellites to delimit clear areas of the atmosphere. The efficiency for detecting ultra-high-energy cosmic rays whose showers do not intersect clouds is determined for real, night-time cloud scenes. We use the MODIS SST cloud mask product to define clear pixels for cloud scenes along the equator and use the OWL Monte Carlo to generate showers in the cloud scenes. We find the efficiency for cloud-free showers with closest approach of three pixels to a cloudy pixel is 6.5%, exclusive of other factors. We conclude that defining a totally cloud-free aperture reduces the sensitivity of space-based fluorescence detectors to unacceptably small levels.

description: We report on the direct imaging of s and d partial-wave interference in cold collisions of atoms. Two ultracold clouds of Rb87 atoms were accelerated by magnetic fields to collide at energies near a d-wave shape resonance. The resulting halos of scattered particles were imaged using laser absorption. By scanning across the resonance we observed a marked evolution of the scattering patterns due to the energy dependent phase shifts for the interfering s and d waves. Since only two partial wave states are involved in the collision process the scattering yield and angular distributions have a simple interpretation in terms of a theoretical model.

description: Radio observations of two isolated neutron stars, RXJ0720.4-3125 and RX J0806.4-4132, have been made with the Australia Telescope Compact Array at a frequency of 1.4 GHz. No continuum emission is detected from either object with a 3 sigma upper limit of 0.2 mJy. The data were also folded synchronously with the known rotation periods of 8.4 and 11.4 s respectively. No pulsed emission was detected. If the pulse duty cycle is small, the upper limit on pulsed emission can be reduced still further to 0.04 mJy. The best evidence seems to indicate that the isolated neutron stars detected by ROSAT all-sky survey are relatively young objects, born with a very high magnetic field.

description: It is well accepted that, at the global scale, the Gutenberg-Richter (GR) law describing the distribution of earthquake magnitude or seismic moment has to be modified at the tail to properly account for the most extreme events. It is debated, though, how much additional time of earthquake recording will be necessary to properly constrain this tail. Using the global CMT catalog, we study how three modifications of the GR law that incorporate a corner-value parameter are compatible with the size of the largest observed earthquake in a given time window. Current data lead to a rather large range of parameter values (e.g., corner magnitude from 8.6 to 10.2 for the so-called tapered GR distribution). Updating this estimation in the future will strongly depend on the maximum magnitude observed, but, under reasonable assumptions, the range will be substantially reduced by the end of this century, contrary to claims in previous literature.

description: Rainy-season farming is a major source of income for the rural population in the Guinea Savannah zone of West Africa. Farming systems in the region are dominated by rain-fed production of cereals, but include also leguminous crops and oilseeds. A recent World Bank study has identified high potentials for competitive agricultural production and agriculture-led growth in the Guinea Savannah zones of Sub-Saharan Africa. This optimistic outlook is conditional on appropriate investment strategies, policy reforms, and institutional changes. Furthermore, the World Bank warns that global climate change could pose a potential constraint for agricultural growth due to likely reductions in rainfall levels and significant increases in rainfall variability. This could lead to serious dry spells and a drop of crop yields. The study regions are the département Atakora in Benin, the région Sud-Ouest in Burkina Faso, and the Upper East Region in Ghana. Climate projections and trend estimates for these regions show very heterogeneous results for level and variability of monthly rainfall patterns. Therefore, we want to investigate which potential future developments pose the greater threat for agricultural production in the study regions. We develop a set of regional agricultural supply models, each representing 10-12 cropping activities and roughly 150.000 ha of agricultural area. We distinguish two stages of crop production: The planting stage from April to June and the yield formation stage between June and November. Preliminary results suggest that drought events during the planting stage have a more severe impact on the output of individual crops than drought events during the second stage. In contrast, the impact on total farm revenues appears to be more prominent during the second stage, when farmers have a limited capability to adjust their production plan. A clear if not surprising result is the larger vulnerability of crops with growth cycles ranging from the very beginning to the very end of the rainy season. The observed diversity of cropping activities serves the purpose to reduce the vulnerability to adverse rainfall events within a certain range. However, some extreme events are associated with very poor harvests of specific cash crops, thus severely affecting the income of the farming sector. A comprehensive picture will be obtained once the climate change scenarios are completed and the model results are tested and validated for various settings.

description: Recently, case reports of priapism associated with the use of some anti-seizure medications began to emerge in the literature. We aimed to investigate if there is a potential safety signal of priapism among individual anti-seizure medications and to search the literature for relevant published cases. We conducted a disproportionality analysis using OpenVigil 2.1 to query the United States Food and Drug Administration’s Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science up to 12 July 2023. We identified positive signal of priapism for valproic acid and its derivatives (n = 23, chi-squared = 59.943, PRR = 4.566), gabapentin (n = 20, chi-squared = 9.790, PRR = 2.060), lamotrigine (n = 16, chi-squared = 8.318, PRR = 2.120), levetiracetam (n = 16, chi-squared = 10.766, PRR = 2.329), topiramate (n = 14, chi-squared = 28.067, PRR = 3.972) and carbamazepine (n = 8, chi-squared = 6.147, PRR = 2.568), as well as published cases of priapism associated with these drugs. We also found published cases of priapism for pregabalin and phenytoin in the literature and FAERS, and at least one reported adverse event of priapism in FAERS for clonazepam, lacosamide, ethosuximide, oxcarbazepine, and vigabatrin in which they were considered primary suspect. Our study identified signals for priapism for several anti-seizure medications, but these results need to be confirmed in well-designed pharmacoepidemiological studies.

In the region below pinch-off voltage, the non-linear threshold voltage behavior provides electronic addition energies exactly as the linear, Coulomb blockade oscillation does. By analyzing it, we identify the s and p shell addition spectrum for up to six electrons in the single InAs dot, i.e. one of the coupled dots. The evolution of shell addition spectrum with magnetic field provides Fock-Darwin spectra of s and p shell.

Factors Affecting Farm Income, Farm Prices, and Food Consumption

description: Agricultural price analysis was one of the hard cores around which all the agricultural economics of the 1920's and early 1930's were built. Since then, in all too many cases the working economists have been too busily engaged in current operations to set down their appraisals of price-making forces in any formal way. Many have drifted from recognized statistical methods to a shorter-run, almost wholly intuitive, "market feel" approach. Some of the theoretical or teaching economists, especially the mathematically trained group, have gone in the opposite direction, stressing models, structural equations, and the substitution of symbols for statistics. In one sense this article returns to an earlier tradition, once again substituting statistical values for symbols, and at the same time formally setting down both the methods and the results in such a way that they can be checked, in terms of both theory and experience. But Fox has gone beyond the earlier tradition in a number of respects. Commodities accounting for a large proportion of farm income are treated in a consistent manner. The marketing system is recognized as a separate entity standing between consumer demand at retail prices and that of processors and dealers at the farm or local level. the statistical methods used are relatively simple, but they have been chosen after careful consideration of the theories and more complex equation forms advanced by mathematical economists and econometricians. Suggestions are offered as to means of reconciling both family-budget and time-series information relating to the demand for food. The more technical part of the article is preceded by a discussion of factors affecting the general level of farm income and the demand for farm products as a group.-O.V. Wells.

description: We review the study of rogue waves and related instabilities in optical and oceanic environments, with particular focus on recent experimental developments. In optics, we emphasize results arising from the use of real-time measurement techniques, whilst in oceanography we consider insights obtained from analysis of real-world ocean wave data and controlled experiments in wave tanks. Although significant progress in understanding rogue waves has been made based on an analogy between wave dynamics in optics and hydrodynamics, these comparisons have predominantly focused on one-dimensional nonlinear propagation scenarios. As a result, there remains significant debate about the dominant physical mechanisms driving the generation of ocean rogue waves in the complex environment of the open sea. Here, we review state-of-the-art of rogue wave studies in optics and hydrodynamics, aiming to clearly identify similarities and differences between the results obtained in the two fields. In hydrodynamics, we take care to review results that support both nonlinear and linear interpretations of ocean rogue wave formation, and in optics, we also summarise results from an emerging area of research applying the measurement techniques developed for the study of rogue waves to dissipative soliton systems. We conclude with a discussion of important future research directions.

description: An exact solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations enables us to construct a hypothesis on the production of tachyons. The hypothesis determines the kinematical relations for the produced tachyon. It also makes possible to estimate the empiric conditions necessary for the production. These conditions can occur when nonpositive subatomic particles of high energy strike atomic nuclei other than the proton. This suggests how experiments to search for tachyons can be performed. According to the hypothesis properly designed experiments with air showers or with the use of the strongest colliders may be successful. Failure of the air shower experiments performed hitherto is explained on the grounds of the hypothesis.

description: In this work we develop theoretical and numerical methods of calculation of a dynamic friction coefficient. The theoretical method is based on an adiabatic approximation which allows us to express the dynamic friction coefficient in terms of the time integral of the autocorrelation function of the force between both sliding objects. The motion of the objects and the autocorrelation function can be numerically calculated by molecular-dynamics simulations. We have successfully applied these methods to the evaluation of the dynamic friction coefficient of the relative motion of two concentric carbon nanotubes. The dynamic friction coefficient is shown to increase with the temperature.

Using thin film samples with controlled lattice parameters and orbital states at a fixed orbital filling, we estimated that the contribution of the interatomic Coulomb interaction relative to the Jahn-Teller mechanism is insignificant and at most 0.27. This indicates that RXS probes mainly Jahn-Teller distortion in manganites.

description: To investigate the expertise in and support of the implemented new method of cancer patient pathways (CPPs) among general practitioners (GPs) and other working physicians in Sweden. A survey in the form of 10 knowledge-based multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and two general questions about CPPs. Physicians from two different regions in Sweden answered the survey between December 2018 and January 2019. GPs in primary care compared to other physicians. 155 participants completed the survey and the response rate was 65%. Physicians’ self-estimated knowledge of CPPs in general and opinion of CPPs effect on mortality and morbidity. Their scores on 10 different MCQs. Scores were analysed in subgroups related to the physicians medical specialty and experience. A majority of all physicians (63%) felt that they had insufficient knowledge regarding the procedure of CPPs, and the average score from the MCQs was 3.8 out of 10 correct answers. The results showed that GPs performed significantly better than specialists from other disciplines. The low percentage of correctly answered MCQs shows that the information about the entry part of CPPs needs to be improved. The study demonstrates a support for the system with CPPs because the physicians believed in its’ positive effects on morbidity and mortality, however, it also reveals a lack of self-estimated knowledge about the system with CPPs.Key pointsCancer patient pathways (CPPs) is a newly implemented method in Sweden that aims to equalize cancer care and reduce the time to diagnosis and treatment.The proficiency of when to initiate an investigation according to a specific CPP seems low.

description: Interstellar neutral atoms provide a remote diagnostic of plasma in the outer heliosheath and the very local interstellar medium via charge exchange collisions that convert ions into atoms and vice versa. So far, most studies of interstellar atoms assumed that daughter hydrogen atoms directly inherit the kinetic properties of parent protons. This assumption neglects angular scattering of the interacting particles. However, for low relative velocities, as expected for charge exchanges in the outer heliosheath, this scattering is significant. In this study, we present how the parameters of daughter populations depend on the relative velocity and temperatures of parent populations. For this purpose, we numerically compute collision terms with and without this scattering. We find that the secondary population of interstellar hydrogen atoms, for the parent populations with the relative bulk velocity of 20 km s$^{-1}$ and equal temperatures of 7500 K, has ~2 km s$^{-1}$ higher bulk velocity if the scattering is taken into account. Additionally, temperatures are higher by ~2400 K and ~1200 K in parallel and perpendicular direction to the relative motion of parent populations, respectively. Moreover, a significant departure of secondary atoms from the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is expected for high relative velocities of parent populations. This process affects the distribution and density of interstellar atoms in the heliosphere and production of pickup ions. Thus, we show that angular scattering in charge exchange collisions is important to include in analyses of interstellar neutral atoms and pickup ions observed at 1 au and in the outer heliosphere.

We first define a notion of modularity appropriate for a projected bipartite network and outline an algorithm for maximising it in order to partition the network. Using both real and synthetic networks we compare the communities found by five different algorithms, where each algorithm maximises a different modularity function and sees different aspects of the bipartite structure. Based on these results we suggest a simple heuristic for finding communities in bipartite networks.

description: We aimed to investigate the Non-specific Symptoms and Signs of Cancer-Cancer Patient Pathway (NSSC-CPP) in order to describe organisational and clinical practice similarities and differences in the diagnostic work-up of suspected cancer in Denmark. A questionnaire on the organisation and practice pertaining to the NSSC-CPP was completed by all 21 diagnostic units in the five healthcare regions in Denmark. The questionnaire responses revealed regional and intraregional differences in the organisation and clinical practice of the NSSC-CPP. CT scan was the most often used imaging in the NSSC-CPP but there was no consensus whether the CT scan should be ordered and evaluated by general practitioners (GPs) or by the diagnostic units. Two regions were consistent but had different modalities regarding referrals from GPs. Three regions had intra-regional differences. The units reported on different types and frequency of forum for patient plan discussion and how to end a NSSC-CPP. The NSSC-CPP is implemented with great regional and intra-regional differences in Denmark. GPs face different requirements when referring to the NSSC-CPP, which indicates that the division of role and responsibility between GPs and the diagnostic units is not well defined.KEY POINTSIn Denmark, the cancer patient pathway for non-specific symptoms and signs of cancer (NSSC-CPP) has been implemented with variations, but little is known about these different modalities. This study showed that both at a regional and an intra-regional level:•General practitioners meet different implementation of national guidelines in the diagnostic units when referring to the NSSCP-CPP•The suitable patient group for the NSSC-CPP is not well defined•Quality criteria are needed to monitor, evaluate and improve the diagnostic work-up for patients with non-specific symptoms and signs of cancer In Denmark, the cancer patient pathway for non-specific symptoms and signs of cancer (NSSC-CPP) has been implemented with variations, but little is known about these different modalities.

description: Neutrophils are required to function and survive under challenging conditions characterised by tissue hypoxia and nutrient scarcity. Neutrophils are well suited to rapidly respond to infection and engage with metabolic pathways for the rapid generation of substrates used to meet their energy demands, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and delaying constitutive apoptosis programmes. By using a variety of assays, I investigated the dynamic metabolic adaptations of infected neutrophils exposed to both hypoxia and glucose depletion. I observed that glucose depletion reduces apoptosis of infected neutrophils, and that hypoxia further promotes neutrophil phagocytosis. Mass spectrometry metabolite quantification and metabolic flux analysis revealed that neutrophils upregulate the pentose phosphate pathway to sustain ROS production and bacterial killing. Gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis and the glycerol 3-phosphate pathways are all critical for neutrophil bacterial control and hypoxic adaptation. Finally, investigation of PHD3-/- neutrophils revealed a phenotype of improved bacterial control and reduced inflammation which might have beneficial therapeutic implication.

description: Using numerical methods, we systematically study in the framework of ideal MHD the effect of magnetic fields on heat transfer within a turbulent gas. We measure the rates of passive scalar diffusion within magnetized fluids and make the comparisons a) between MHD and hydro simulations, b) between different MHD runs with different values of the external magnetic field (up to the energy equipartition value), c) between thermal conductivities parallel and perpendicular to magnetic field. We do not find apparent suppression of diffusion rates by the presence of magnetic fields, which implies that magnetic fields do not suppress heat diffusion by turbulent motions.

Statistical analysis of the azimuthal asymmetry in the $J/ψ$ leptoproduction in unpolarized $ep$ collisions

description: In this paper, we study the azimuthal asymmetry in the $J/ψ$ leptoproduction in unpolarized $ep$ collisions. There are two independent azimuthal asymmetry modulations, namely $\mathrm{cos}(ψ)$ and $\mathrm{cos}(2ψ)$, where $ψ$ is the azimuthal angle of the lepton scattering plane with respect to the hadron-interacting plane. We calculate the two modulations as functions of four kinematic variables, and find that they provide a very good laboratory to distinguish several models describing the heavy quarkonium production, including the color-singlet (CS) model, the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) associated with the $^1S_0^{[8]}$ dominance picture, and the NRQCD in which the values of all the three color-octet (CO) long-distance matrix elements are of the same order. In order to make definite conclusions, we restrict our calculation in a specific kinematic region, where the CS and CO mechanisms can be distinguished by scrutinizing the values of the $\mathrm{cos}(ψ)$ modulation, while the $^1S_0^{[8]}$ dominance picture can be tested by measuring the values of the $\mathrm{cos}(2ψ)$ modulation. Calculating their values and carrying out a meticulous statistical analysis, we find that at an integrated luminosity $\mathcal{L}=1000\mathrm{pb}^{-1}$, the statistical uncertainties of the two quantities are small enough to tell the three models apart. When this experiment is implemented at the future $ep$ colliders such as the EIC, crucial information for the $J/ψ$ production mechanism might be discovered.

description: We assessed the quality of life (QoL) and pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment among infertile women with endometriosis, as compared to infertile women without endometriosis. Eighty-one (81) endometriosis women (with 142 embryo transfer [ET] cycles) and 605 non-endometriosis women (with 1063 ET cycles) were included. QoL was measured by FertiQoL at the date before ET. Pregnancy outcomes included biochemical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy and live birth. Generalized estimating equation analyses were performed to assess the association between QoL and IVF pregnancy. Endometriosis-affected women had significantly lower QoL, as indicated by mind/body, treatment environment and total treatment scores, and total scores of FertiQoL (p p Lower QoL among women with endometriosis versus non-endometriosis during IVF treatment highlights the importance of developing strategies to improve their QoL, which may enhance following pregnancy rates in this population.

description: Recent results of Bucciarelli show that the semilattice of degrees of parallelism of first-order boolean functions in PCF has both infinite chains and infinite antichains. By considering a simple subclass of Sieber's sequentiality relations, we identify levels in the semilattice and derive inexpressibility results concerning functions on different levels. This allows us to further explore the structure of the semilattice of degrees of parallelism: we identify semilattices characterized by simple level properties, and show the existence of new infinite hierarchies which are in a certain sense natural with respect to the levels.

description: When sample estimates are plotted in time series, part of the irregularity displayed by the plotted points is chargeable to sampling errors in the individual estimates. This paper describes a method for smoothing the series to eliminate effects of the sampling errors. Fluctuations that can be ascribed legitimately to actual changes in the "true" values are retained.

Farm Management

description: Establishment of parity prices by way of the unit of purchasing power approach—the concept on which, the parity formula is now based—may not adequately reflect parity of incomes and living standards for farmers. This is true especially if the norm or base period is far back in the past, and if radical changes have occurred in the demand for, and the cost structures of, many farm commodities. Recognition of such limitations has led to a second general approach to the measurement of parity—a formula that involves parity income, with prices derived from this formula. The income approach received Corgressional recognition, and resulted in a definition of parity income in the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act of 1936, revised in the Agricultural Act of 1938. Later, it was replaced with a definition in the Agricultural Act of 1948 that was substantially different. This parity concept centers generally on the relation between the incomes of farm people and those of nonfarm people. In the measurement of such parity two basic approaches have been used. One involves the maintenance of a historical income ratio that would provide farmers with incomes and living standards proportionate to those of nonfarmers; the other would establish the standard of equal incomes or living standards as between farmers and nonfarmers. In the first approach, the ratio of farm to non,f arm income in recent years has been at parity or above, compared with the historical base of 1910-14. The second approach, on the other hand, yields a very substantial differential as between farm and nonfarm incomes, although differences in the purchasing power of the farm dollar versus the nonfarm dollar would probably narrow the gap appreciably. This paper bears on the second of these approaches, that is, the comparison of income differences, especially with respect to the regional variations between the incomes of farm-operator families and those of the nonfarm population.
