description: Excerpts from the report Summary: The United States provides an outstanding example of what an efficient agriculture can do for the economic growth of a country. An examination of our economic history reveals seven contributions of major importance: The release of workers to industry; lowering of food costs relative to income; an expanding market for industrial goods; large earnings from exports of farm products; sustained output during economic depressions; the meeting of wartime demands for food and fiber; and assistance to the economic development of other countries. American agriculture has made a massive contribution in the past to the economic development of the United States. But what is to be its future role? Though its most dramatic contributions have been made, it will continue to play a significant role in domestic economic growth. It will continue to supply an abundance of food at prices that are low in relation to the prices of other goods and services; it will continue to be an important source of manpower for nonagricultural enterprises; and it will release land for other uses in the economy.
Searching for the Young Soul Rebels: On Writing, New Wave, and the Ends of Cultural Studies

description: Starting with the surprising role the soul assumed in the West German music essay from the early 1980s, this article interrogates a peculiar, misunderstood middle passage in dominant historiographies of German pop literature-the new wave music essay-that transformed itself at the dawn of the 1990s-shortly before the literary phenomenon labeled Popliteratur emerged-by embracing then emergent Anglo-American Cultural Studies. The importance of new wave music for the essay's regard for soul were lost on both pop literature and its attendant literary histories. The "studies model" has, at least in this one instance, smoothed over historical ruptures with unfortunate repercussions for our understanding of the precarious writerly mediation of life and music shortly before the value of poetics for life vanished altogether.
SModelS – a tool for interpreting simplified-model results from the LHC
Creators: name: Waltenberger, Wolfgang
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: SModelS is an automatic, public python tool for interpreting simplified-model results from searches for new physics at the LHC. It is based on a general procedure to decompose Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) collider signatures presenting a Z2 symmetry into Simplified Model topologies. Our method provides a way to cast BSM predictions for the LHC in a model independent framework, which can be directly confronted with the relevant experimental constraints in an automated fashion. Our database contains simplified models results of about 100 CMS and ATLAS publications. In this notebook talk, we wish demonstrate typical usage patterns of SModelS. We aim to show how a model is input, the list of analyses results that apply is obtained, and how likelihoods are computed. In the last part of the talk we shall quickly present new features of the upcoming v2.0 release of SModelS.

description: This volume contains the proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2014), which was held from the 4th to the 6th of June, 2014, at Kyoto University, Japan. The goal of the QPL workshop series is to bring together researchers working on mathematical foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing and spatio-temporal causal structures, and in particular those that use logical tools, ordered algebraic and category-theoretic structures, formal languages, semantic methods and other computer science methods for the study of physical behavior in general. Over the past few years, there has been growing activity in these foundational approaches, together with a renewed interest in the foundations of quantum theory, which complement the more mainstream research in quantum computation. Earlier workshops in this series, with the same acronym under the name "Quantum Programming Languages", were held in Ottawa (2003), Turku (2004), Chicago (2005), and Oxford (2006). The first QPL under the new name Quantum Physics and Logic was held in Reykjavik (2008), followed by Oxford (2009 and 2010), Nijmegen (2011), Brussels (2012) and Barcelona (2013).
Eyes Wide Open: The Look of Obstinacy, the Gaze of the Camera, and the 24/7 Economy in Antja Ehmann and Harun Farocki’s Labour in a Single Shot (2011-2015)

description: Moving beyond Jonathan Crary's ontologically framed subject in his essay 24/7, the following essay calls on Oskar Negt and Alexander Kluge's political economy of labor power in order to query the persistence of obstinacy within the neoliberal economy of 24/7. Tested against Harun Farocki's final film project coproduced with his wife Antje Ehmann, "Labour in a Single Shot," the essay argues that neoliberalism has in fact generated both tools and forms of collective agency that together call Crary's cultural pessimism into question.

description: A three-phase pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier can usually maintain operation when open-circuit faults occur in insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), which will lead the system to be unstable and unsafe. Aiming at this problem, based on random forests with transient synthetic features, a data-driven online fault diagnosis method is proposed to locate the open-circuit faults of IGBTs timely and effectively in this study. Firstly, by analysing the open-circuit fault features of IGBTs in the three-phase PWM rectifier, it is found that the occurrence of the fault features is related to the fault location and time, and the fault features do not always appear immediately with the occurrence of the fault. Secondly, different data-driven fault diagnosis methods are compared and evaluated, the performance of random forests algorithm is better than that of support vector machine or artificial neural networks. Meanwhile, the accuracy of fault diagnosis classifier trained by transient synthetic features is higher than that trained by original features. Also, the random forests fault diagnosis classifier trained by multiplicative features is the best with fault diagnosis accuracy can reach 98.32%. Finally, the online fault diagnosis experiments are carried out and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, which can accurately locate the open-circuit faults in IGBTs while ensuring system safety.

description: Changes in land management and climate alter vegetation dynamics, but the determinants of vegetation changes often remain elusive, especially in global drylands. Here we assess the determinants of grassland greenness on the Mongolian Plateau, one of the world's largest grassland biomes, which covers Mongolia and the province of Inner Mongolia in China. We use spatial panel regressions to quantify the impact of precipitation, temperature, radiation, and the intensity of livestock grazing on the normalized difference vegetation indices (NDVI) during the growing seasons from 1982 to 2015 at the county level. The results suggest that the Mongolian Plateau experienced vegetation greening from 1982 to 2015. Precipitation and animal density were the most influential factors contributing to higher NDVI on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia and Mongolia. Our results highlight the dominant effect of climate variability, and especially of the precipitation variability, on the grassland greenness in Mongolian drylands. The findings challenge the common belief that higher grazing pressure is the key driver for land degradation. The analysis exemplifies how representative wall‐to‐wall results for large areas can be attained from exploring space–time data and adds empirical insights to the puzzling relationship between grazing intensity and vegetation growth in dryland areas.

description: A fault diagnosis method for power electronics converters based on deep feedforward network and wavelet compression is proposed in this paper. The transient historical data after wavelet compression are used to realize the training of fault diagnosis classifier. Firstly, the correlation analysis of the voltage or current data running in various fault states is performed to remove the redundant features and the sampling point. Secondly, the wavelet transform is used to remove the redundant data of the features, and then the training sample data is greatly compressed. The deep feedforward network is trained by the low frequency component of the features, while the training speed is greatly accelerated. The average accuracy of fault diagnosis classifier can reach over 97%. Finally, the fault diagnosis classifier is tested, and final diagnosis result is determined by multiple-groups transient data, by which the reliability of diagnosis results is improved. The experimental result proves that the classifier has strong generalization ability and can accurately locate the open-circuit faults in IGBTs.

description: We investigate the impact that warm dark matter (WDM) has in terms of 21cm intensity mapping in the post-reionization Universe at z = 3 - 5. We perform hydrodynamic simulations for 5 different models: cold dark matter and WDM with 1,2,3,4 keV (thermal relic) mass and assign the neutral hydrogen a-posteriori using two different methods that both reproduce observations in terms of column density distribution function of neutral hydrogen systems. Contrary to naive expectations, the suppression of power present in the linear and non-linear matter power spectra, results in an increase of power in terms of neutral hydrogen and 21cm power spectra. This is due to the fact that there is a lack of small mass halos in WDM models with respect to cold dark matter: in order to distribute a total amount of neutral hydrogen within the two cosmological models, a larger quantity has to be placed in the most massive halos, that are more biased compared to the cold dark matter cosmology. We quantify this effect and address significance for the telescope SKA1-LOW, including a realistic noise modeling. The results indicate that we will be able to rule out a 4 keV WDM model with 5000 hours of observations at z > 3, with a statistical significance of > 3 sigma, while a smaller mass of 3 keV, comparable to present day constraints, can be ruled out at more than 2 sigma confidence level with 1000 hours of observations at z > 5.

Area Specific Deposition

description: Organic trihydridosilanes provide an elegant route for generating self-assembled monolayers (SAM)s by vapor phase transport on a variety of substrates. Under mild conditions, these precursors can be made to interact with a variety of clean metal and hydrogenated metalloid surfaces such as Ti, Cu, and Si to form near-zero-thickness SAMs. These SAMs can be customized with specific functionality to activate or deactivate subsequent Co deposition on the underlying substrate, leading to area specific Co deposition.

description: This article explores the interplay of inequality, space and age(ing) from an intersectional perspective. It argues, that a spatial research methodology is most fruitful in order to include age(ing) in debates on intersectionality and inequality. Drawing on geographical gerontology and inequality research, we scrutinize the research gap at the intersection of these fields: While age is a neglected factor in intersectional debates on inequality, questions of power are hardly addressed by geographical gerontology. To bridge this research gap, we propose space as methodological perspective. By showing how the negotiation of age(ing) varies in different spatial settings, the article emphasises the value of spatial approaches to analyse the two faces of age(ing) – age as a marker of difference and ageing as a process. On a larger scale, the article points to the potential of a spatial methodology to approach the complexity of intersectionality.

description: The Atg8-family proteins (MAP1LC3/LC3A, LC3B, LC3C, GABARAP, GABARAPL1 and GABARAPL2) play a pivotal role in macroautophagy/autophagy through their ability to help form autophagosomes. Although autophagosomes form in the cytoplasm, nuclear levels of the Atg8-family proteins are significant. Recently, the nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling of LC3B was shown to require deacetylation of two Lys residues (K49 and K51 in LC3B), which are conserved in Atg8-family proteins. To exit the nucleus, deacetylated LC3B must bind TP53INP2/DOR (tumor protein p53 inducible nuclear protein 2) through interaction with the LC3-interacting region (LIR) of TP53INP2 (TP53INP2LIR). To examine their selectivity for TP53INP2 and the role of the conserved Lys residues in Atg8-family proteins, we prepared the six human Atg8-family proteins and acetylated variants of LC3A and GABARAP for biophysical and structural characterization of their interactions with the TP53INP2LIR. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments demonstrate that this LIR binds preferentially to GABARAP subfamily proteins, and that only acetylation of the second Lys residue reduces binding to GABARAP and LC3A. Crystal structures of complexes with GABARAP and LC3A (acetylated and deacetylated) define a β-sheet in the TP53INP2LIR that determines the GABARAP selectivity and establishes the importance of acetylation at the second Lys. The in vitro results were confirmed in cells using acetyl-mimetic variants of GABARAP and LC3A to examine nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling and colocalization with TP53INP2. Together, the results demonstrate that TP53INP2 shows selectivity to the GABARAP subfamily and acetylation at the second Lys of GABARAP and LC3A disrupts key interactions with TP53INP2 required for their nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling.

description: AMPK promotes catabolic and suppresses anabolic cell metabolism to promote cell survival during energetic stress, in part by inhibiting MTORC1, an anabolic kinase requiring sufficient levels of amino acids. We found that cells lacking AMPK displayed increased apoptotic cell death during nutrient stress caused by prolonged amino acid deprivation. We presumed that impaired macroautophagy/autophagy explained this phenotype, as a prevailing view posits that AMPK initiates autophagy (often a pro-survival response) through phosphorylation of ULK1. Unexpectedly, however, autophagy remained unimpaired in cells lacking AMPK, as monitored by several autophagic readouts in several cell lines. More surprisingly, the absence of AMPK increased ULK1 signaling and MAP1LC3B/LC3B lipidation during amino acid deprivation while AMPK-mediated phosphorylation of ULK1 S555 (a site proposed to initiate autophagy) decreased upon amino acid withdrawal or pharmacological MTORC1 inhibition. In addition, activation of AMPK with compound 991, glucose deprivation, or AICAR blunted autophagy induced by amino acid withdrawal. These results demonstrate that AMPK activation and glucose deprivation suppress autophagy. As AMPK controlled autophagy in an unexpected direction, we examined how AMPK controls MTORC1 signaling. Paradoxically, we observed impaired reactivation of MTORC1 in cells lacking AMPK upon prolonged amino acid deprivation. Together these results oppose established views that AMPK promotes autophagy and inhibits MTORC1 universally. Moreover, they reveal unexpected roles for AMPK in the suppression of autophagy and the support of MTORC1 signaling in the context of prolonged amino acid deprivation. These findings prompt a reevaluation of how AMPK and its control of autophagy and MTORC1 affect health and disease.

description: Discusses the German author and filmmaker Alexander Kluge's exploration of the theme of coldness in film and other works. The authors report on the theorist Theodor Adorno's discussion of the subject in an essay written in 1967, note that Kluge focused on coldness in works in different media created after 2010, and study his approach to the theme in the film 'Landschaften mit eis und schnee' (2010; illus.) noting his treatment of ice in the work. They assess the relationship of Kluge's film to the work of various theorists including Peter Wollen, comment on Kluge's focus on the wind in his films 'The patriot' (1979; illus.), 'Gelegenheitsarbeit einer sklavin' (1973; illus.) and other works, and report on Kluge's use of photographs of snow taken by Gerhard Richter in the book 'December' (2010; illus.) also examining the work's relationship to the films 'Landschaften mit eis und schnee' and 'Zitraffer mit schneetreiben vor meinem balkon, Elizabethstrasse 38(2010; illus.). They refer to Kluge's incorporation of footage from his films into talks given in 2010, and contrast his approach to the theme of coldness with that of Adorno.
A Transformer Architecture for Online Gesture Recognition of Mathematical Expressions

description: The Transformer architecture is shown to provide a powerful framework as an end-to-end model for building expression trees from online handwritten gestures corresponding to glyph strokes. In particular, the attention mechanism was successfully used to encode, learn and enforce the underlying syntax of expressions creating latent representations that are correctly decoded to the exact mathematical expression tree, providing robustness to ablated inputs and unseen glyphs. For the first time, the encoder is fed with spatio-temporal data tokens potentially forming an infinitely large vocabulary, which finds applications beyond that of online gesture recognition. A new supervised dataset of online handwriting gestures is provided for training models on generic handwriting recognition tasks and a new metric is proposed for the evaluation of the syntactic correctness of the output expression trees. A small Transformer model suitable for edge inference was successfully trained to an average normalised Levenshtein accuracy of 94%, resulting in valid postfix RPN tree representation for 94% of predictions.

description: There is scarcely a sentence in the New Testament that could have unleashed a wider reception
history than Paul’s comparison of the letter and the spirit in the third chapter of the
Second Epistle to the Corinthians: “For the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” In Patristics
two diverging lines of reception can be identified, which, depending on the perspective,
emphasise the hermeneutic or the soteriological side of the formula more strongly. This paper
investigates the antithesis of spirit and letter at various stations of its reception history from
Late Antiquity to the late Middle Ages and ventures to profile the contrast primarily as the
hermeneutic relationship between the object and the reading event.

description: Activity-based models, as a specific instance of agent-based models, deal with agents that structure their activity in terms of (daily) activity schedules. An activity schedule consists of a sequence of activity instances, each with its assigned start time, duration and location, together with transport modes used for travel between subsequent activity locations. A critical step in the development of simulation models is validation. Despite the growing importance of activity-based models in modelling transport and mobility, there has been so far no work focusing specifically on statistical validation of such models. In this paper, we propose a six-step Validation Framework for Activity-based Models (VALFRAM) that allows exploiting historical real-world data to assess the validity of activity-based models. The framework compares temporal and spatial properties and the structure of activity schedules against real-world travel diaries and origin-destination matrices. We confirm the usefulness of the framework on three real-world activity-based transport models.

As of June 3, 2022, 67% of participants had been vaccinated. There were 2 771 364 SARS-CoV-2 infections, with a hospitalization rate of 6.3% and mortality rate of 1.4%. The adjusted RR of the primary vaccine series compared with being unvaccinated against infection became 0.53 (95% CI, 0.52-0.53) for BNT162b2, 0.52 (95% CI, 0.51-0.53) for mRNA-1273, and 0.51 (95% CI, 0.50-0.53) for Ad26.COV2.S 10 months after the first dose, but the adjusted HR for hospitalization remained at 0.29 (95% CI, 0.24-0.35) for BNT162b2, 0.27 (95% CI, 0.23-0.32) for mRNA-1273, and 0.35 (95% CI, 0.29-0.42) for Ad26.COV2.S and the adjusted HR of death remained at 0.23 (95% CI, 0.17-0.29) for BNT162b2, 0.15 (95% CI, 0.11-0.20) for mRNA-1273, and 0.24 (95% CI, 0.19-0.31) for Ad26.COV2.S. For the BNT162b2 primary series, boosting in December 2021 with BNT162b2 had the adjusted RR relative to primary series of 0.39 (95% CI, 0.38-0.40) and boosting with mRNA-1273 had the adjusted RR of 0.32 (95% CI, 0.30-0.34) against infection after 1 month and boosting with BNT162b2 had the adjusted RR of 0.84 (95% CI, 0.82-0.86) and boosting with mRNA-1273 had the adjusted RR of 0.60 (95% CI, 0.57-0.62) after 3 months. Among all participants, the adjusted RR of Omicron infection compared with no prior infection was estimated at 0.23 (95% CI, 0.22-0.24) against infection, and the adjusted HRs were 0.10 (95% CI, 0.07-0.14) against hospitalization and 0.11 (95% CI, 0.08-0.15) against death after 4 months.Receipt of primary COVID-19 vaccine series compared with being unvaccinated, receipt of boosters compared with primary vaccination, and prior infection compared with no prior infection were all significantly associated with lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection (including Omicron) and resulting hospitalization and death. The associated protection waned over time, especially against infection.

Performance Comparison of Minimum Hop vs. Minimum Edge Based Multicast Routing under Different Mobility Models for Mobile Ad hoc Networks

description: The high-level contribution of this paper is to establish benchmarks for the minimum hop count per source-receiver path and the minimum number of edges per tree for multicast routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) under different mobility models. In this pursuit, we explore the tradeoffs between these two routing strategies with respect to hop count, number of edges and lifetime per multicast tree with respect to the Random Waypoint, City Section and Manhattan mobility models. We employ the Breadth First Search algorithm and the Minimum Steiner Tree heuristic for determining a sequence of minimum hop and minimum edge trees respectively. While both the minimum hop and minimum edge trees exist for a relatively longer time under the Manhattan mobility model; the number of edges per tree and the hop count per source-receiver path are relatively low under the Random Waypoint model. For all the three mobility models, the minimum edge trees have a longer lifetime compared to the minimum hop trees and the difference in lifetime increases with increase in network density and/or the multicast group size. Multicast trees determined under the City Section model incur fewer edges and lower hop count compared to the Manhattan mobility model.

description: Weak gravitational lensing is one of the most promising tools to investigate the equation-of-state of dark energy. In order to obtain reliable parameter estimations for current and future experiments, a good theoretical understanding of dark matter clustering is essential. Of particular interest is the statistical precision to which weak lensing observables, such as cosmic shear correlation functions, can be determined. We construct a fitting formula for the non-Gaussian part of the covariance of the lensing power spectrum. The Gaussian contribution to the covariance, which is proportional to the lensing power spectrum squared, and optionally shape noise can be included easily by adding their contributions. Starting from a canonical estimator for the dimensionless lensing power spectrum, we model first the covariance in the halo model approach including all four halo terms for one fiducial cosmology and then fit two polynomials to the expression found. On large scales, we use a first-order polynomial in the wave-numbers and dimensionless power spectra that goes asymptotically towards $1.1 C_{pt}$ for $\ell \to 0$, i.e., the result for the non-Gaussian part of the covariance using tree-level perturbation theory. On the other hand, for small scales we employ a second-order polynomial in the dimensionless power spectra for the fit. We obtain a fitting formula for the non-Gaussian contribution of the convergence power spectrum covariance that is accurate to 10% for the off-diagonal elements, and to 5% for the diagonal elements, in the range $50 \lesssim \ell \lesssim 5000$ and can be used for single source redshifts $z_{s} \in [0.5,2.0]$ in WMAP5-like cosmologies.

description: India's average per capita fish consumption is 8 to 9 kg which is only half of the global average. Fish consumption among high literacy rate states and low-income states is high irrespective of their fish production. Union territories and Northeastern states are found as better fish consuming states in India. The other states have to still improve their per capita fish consumption status.

description: For $n > 2$, let $Γ$ denote either $SL(n, Z)$ or $Sp(n, Z)$. We give a practical algorithm to compute the level of the maximal principal congruence subgroup in an arithmetic group $H\leq Γ$. This forms the main component of our methods for computing with such arithmetic groups $H$. More generally, we provide algorithms for computing with Zariski dense groups in $Γ$. We use our GAP implementation of the algorithms to solve problems that have emerged recently for important classes of linear groups.

description: The MoEDAL experiment (Monopole and Exotics Detector at the LHC) is designed to directly search for magnetic monopoles and other highly-ionising stable or metastable particles arising in theoretical scenarios beyond the Standard Model. Its physics goals are accomplished by the deployment of plastic nuclear track detectors combined with trapping volumes for capturing charged highly-ionising particles and TimePix pixel devices for monitoring. This paper is an overview of the MoEDAL physics reach, which is largely complementary to the programs of the large multi-purpose LHC detectors ATLAS and CMS.

description: We introduce a class of operators on abstract measure spaces, which unifies the Calderón-Zygmund operators on spaces of homogeneous type, the maximal functions and the martingale transforms. We prove that such operators can be dominated by simple sparse operators with a definite form of the domination constant. Applying these estimates, we improve several results obtained by different authors in recent years.

description: Generalized trigonometric functions are applied to the Legendre-Jacobi standard form of complete elliptic integrals, and a new form of the generalized complete elliptic integrals of the Borweins is presented. According to the form, it can be easily shown that these integrals have similar properties to the classical ones. In particular, it is possible to establish a computation formula of the generalized $π$ in terms of the arithmetic-geometric mean, in the classical way as the Gauss-Legendre algorithm for $π$ by Salamin and Brent. Moreover, an elementary new proof of Ramanujan's cubic transformation is also given.

description: Dominant variants in WFS1 (wolframin ER transmembrane glycoprotein), the gene coding for a mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane (MAM) resident protein, have been associated with Wolfram-like syndrome (WLS). In vitro and in vivo, WFS1 loss results in reduced ER to mitochondria calcium (Ca2+) transfer, mitochondrial dysfunction, and enhanced macroautophagy/autophagy and mitophagy. However, in the WLS pathological context, whether the mutant protein triggers the same cellular processes is unknown. Here, we show that in human fibroblasts and murine neuronal cultures the WLS protein WFS1E864K leads to decreases in mitochondria bioenergetics and Ca2+ uptake, deregulation of the mitochondrial quality system mechanisms, and alteration of the autophagic flux. Moreover, in the Wfs1E864K mouse, these alterations are concomitant with a decrease of MAM number. These findings reveal pathophysiological similarities between WS and WLS, highlighting the importance of WFS1 for MAM’s integrity and functionality. It may open new treatment perspectives for patients with WLS.

description: The current surgical training paradigm in the United States is shifting to a competency-based system. Artificial Intelligence (AI) also can assist in competency-based learning by eliminating biases that may exist in surgical coaching and training. This scoping review aims to examine studies (1) that evaluate implementation and/or bias of AI in surgical videos (2) studies examining user acceptance of this technology for surgical training or coaching, and (3) studies examining the impact on surgical outcomes with the use of AI applied to surgical videos. Our approach will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines and checklist. Results will be charted and synthesized to understand outcomes.
