description: We present results from an analysis of $\sim$ 29,000 RR Lyrae stars located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). For these objects, near-infrared time-series photometry from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC) and optical data from the OGLE (Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment) IV survey and the Gaia Data Release 2 catalogue of confirmed RR Lyrae stars were exploited. Using VMC and OGLE IV magnitudes we derived period-luminosity (PL), period-luminosity-metallicity (PLZ), period-Wesenheit (PW) and period-Wesenheit-metallicity (PWZ) relations in all available bands. More that ~7,000 RR Lyrae were discarded from the analysis because they appear to be overluminous with respect to the PL relations. The $PL_{K_{\mathrm{s}}}$ relation was used to derive individual distance to $\sim 22,000$ RR Lyrae stars, and study the three-dimensional structure of the LMC. The distribution of the LMC RR Lyrae stars is ellipsoidal with the three axis $S_1$=6.5 kpc, $S_2$=4.6 kpc and $S_3$=3.7 kpc, inclination i=$22\pm4^{\circ }$ relative to the plane of the sky and position angle of the line of nodes $θ=167\pm7^{\circ }$ (measured from north to east). The north-eastern part of the ellipsoid is closer to us and no particular associated substructures are detected as well as any metallicity gradient.

description: Widespread e-commerce activity on the Internet has led to new opportunities to collect vast amounts of micro-level market and nonmarket data. In this paper we share our experiences in collecting, validating, storing and analyzing large Internet-based data sets in the area of online auctions, music file sharing and online retailer pricing. We demonstrate how such data can advance knowledge by facilitating sharper and more extensive tests of existing theories and by offering observational underpinnings for the development of new theories. Just as experimental economics pushed the frontiers of economic thought by enabling the testing of numerous theories of economic behavior in the environment of a controlled laboratory, we believe that observing, often over extended periods of time, real-world agents participating in market and nonmarket activity on the Internet can lead us to develop and test a variety of new theories. Internet data gathering is not controlled experimentation. We cannot randomly assign participants to treatments or determine event orderings. Internet data gathering does offer potentially large data sets with repeated observation of individual choices and action. In addition, the automated data collection holds promise for greatly reduced cost per observation. Our methods rely on technological advances in automated data collection agents. Significant challenges remain in developing appropriate sampling techniques integrating data from heterogeneous sources in a variety of formats, constructing generalizable processes and understanding legal constraints. Despite these challenges, the early evidence from those who have harvested and analyzed large amounts of e-commerce data points toward a significant leap in our ability to understand the functioning of electronic commerce.

How women start successful businesses

Subjects: diversification, gender equality, rural development, policy tools

description: A report about the EU-funded research project FEMAGREE. For this qualitative study 30 interviews in Bavaria and Ireland were conducted with women, who had started a diversification enterprise in agriculture. Furthermore a workshop was held in Bavaria with 11 female participants discussing the results of the interviews and developing new support tools for female entrepreneurs in agriculture. Women in both countries face similar, sometimes female specific difficulties when starting a business. In many cases these difficulties extend on to growing the business to a level where it would be sustainable and contributing to the financial independence of women. There is scope to increase the number of female entrepreneurs in agriculture, which would contribute to rural development as well as gender equality objectives in agriculture. Introducing gender mainstreaming into agricultural policy as well as more gendered agricultural statistics would be a first step towards achieving more gender equality in agriculture.

description: Background: Orthostatic tremor (OT) was first described in 1977. It is characterized by rapid tremor of 13–18 Hz and can be recorded in the lower limbs and trunk muscles. OT remains difficult to treat, although some success has been reported with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Case Report: We report a 68-year-old male with OT who did not improve significantly after bilateral thalamic stimulation. Discussion: Although some patients were described who improved after DBS surgery, more information is needed about the effect of these treatment modalities on OT, ideally in the form of randomized trial data.

description: Understanding the dynamics of flooding events is crucial to mitigate flood risks, particularly in developing nations like Sudan. This study combines multi-sensor approaches with Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) modeling to predict flood inundation extent over the Nile River Basin (NRB). Building upon the RRI model, we firstly simulated the streamflow over the Blue Nile basin and the White Nile basin. Our results show a good agreement between the observed and the simulated streamflow at both daily and monthly scales, e.g. NSE = 0.72 and R2 = 0.85 for daily simulations at Khartoum station. Further, we compared the inundation extents from the RRI model with derived inundation maps from different satellite images (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, and MODIS). The results indicate the potential to overcome the limitation of data scarcity in developing regions and hence provide a supportive assessment tool for flood risk maps in the NRB.

description: W33A is a well-known example of a high-mass young stellar object showing evidence of a circumstellar disc. We revisited the $K$-band NIFS/Gemini North observations of the W33A protostar using principal components analysis tomography and additional post-processing routines. Our results indicate the presence of a compact rotating disc based on the kinematics of the CO absorption features. The position-velocity diagram shows that the disc exhibits a rotation curve with velocities that rapidly decrease for radii larger than 0\farcs1 ($\sim$250 AU) from the central source, suggesting a structure about four times more compact than previously reported. We derived a dynamical mass of 10.0$^{+4.1}_{-2.2}$ M$_\odot$ for the "disc+protostar" system, about $\sim$33% smaller than previously reported, but still compatible with high-mass protostar status. A relatively compact H$_2$ wind was identified at the base of the large-scale outflow of W33A, with a mean visual extinction of $\sim$63 mag. By taking advantage of supplementary near-infrared maps, we identified at least two other point-like objects driving extended structures in the vicinity of W33A, suggesting that multiple active protostars are located within the cloud. The closest object (Source B) was also identified in the NIFS field of view as a faint point-like object at a projected distance of $\sim$7,000 AU from W33A, powering extended $K$-band continuum emission detected in the same field. Another source (Source C) is driving a bipolar H$_2$ jet aligned perpendicular to the rotation axis of W33A.

description: We present a geometrically exact nonlinear analysis of elastic in-plane beams in the context of finite but small strain theory. The formulation utilizes the full beam metric and obtains the complete analytic elastic constitutive model by employing the exact relation between the reference and equidistant strains. Thus, we account for the nonlinear strain distribution over the thickness of a beam. In addition to the full analytical constitutive model, four simplified ones are presented. Their comparison provides a thorough examination of the influence of a beam's metric on the structural response. We show that the appropriate formulation depends on the curviness of a beam at all configurations. Furthermore, the nonlinear distribution of strain along the thickness of strongly curved beams must be considered to obtain a complete and accurate response.

description: In the present thesis the classical method of Thellier has been used for determing the archaeointensity with final goal the dating of archaeological material(burnt clays) from kilns in Macedonia and Thrace. The kilns have been excavated in the following archaeological sites : Mesimvria, Samothraki, Amphipolis, Ierissos, Vergia, Platamonas, Polymylos, Pendavryssos. Two other sites-Mochlos, Ithaki - have been also studied for testing the method. The archaeological dating converged with the archaeological with one exception(Mochlos). The archaeointenty values have been also used for improving the master curves for Greece. They have also been compared with the ones from Bulgaria and Egypt. Additionally, important information has been provided to the archaeologists regarding the combusion temperatures in the kilns during their last firing

description: This article is a continuation of our previous studies of the frictional anisotropy of metal nanoparticles on the surface of a graphene substrate for other temperature conditions. The friction force acting on palladium nanoparticles on a graphene sheet in various lateral directions is investigated using classical molecular dynamics modelling. Anisotropy is studied at high sliding speeds of nanoparticles consisting of 10000 atoms on the surface of graphene. The effect of incommensurability and short-range order of the contact surfaces of nanoparticles, as well as the graphene deformation lead to the absence of an expressed angular dependence of the friction force.

description: Condensed matter systems contain both fermionic and bosonic quasiparticles. Owing to the constraint imposed by the Fermi level, ideal material candidate for the emergent particles with higher-dimensional degeneracy manifold (i.e., nodal lines and nodal surfaces) has not been found in electronic systems. This paper demonstrates that according to the first-principle calculations and symmetry analysis, realistic ternary nitride Li$_6$WN$_4$ features ideal (nearly flat) nodal-surface and nodal-line structures in its phonon spectra. These nodal degeneracies are shaped like lanterns, and their existence is guaranteed by nonsymmorphic symmetry. The corresponding topological phonon surface state covers exactly half the surface Brillouin zone (BZ) and can thereby be distinguished from those of conventional nodal-line and nodal-surface semimetals. The results of our study demonstrate the existence of ideal lantern-like phonons in realistic materials, which enriches the classification of topological quantum phases and provides a good basis for investigating the interaction between nodal-line and nodal-surface phonons in a single material.

Milk production was recorded daily. Single-trait, mixed, linear models were used for the statistical analysis of the data. Results indicated that k-CN genotypes affected significantly protein yield and content(genotype AB>genotype AA). In the β-LG system, significant differences were defected for milk yield(AB>AA), fat yield(BB and AB>AA), fat content(BB>AA and AB) and lactose yield(AB>AA). No assocoations between polymorphisms at the k-CN and β-LG loci and reproductive performance were found

description: In this paper we continue the work begun in 2002 on the identification of the analytical expressions of Feynman integrals which require the evaluation of multiple elliptic integrals. We rewrite and simplify the analytical expression of the 3-loop self-mass integral with three equal masses and on-shell external momentum. We collect and analyze a number of results on double and triple elliptic integrals. By using very high-precision numerical fits, for the first time we are able to identify a very compact analytical expression for the 4-loop on-shell self-mass integral with 4 equal masses, that is one of the master integrals of the 4-loop electron g-2. Moreover, we fit the analytical expressions of some integrals which appear in lattice perturbation theory, and in particular the 4-dimensional generalized Watson integral.

description: Seagrass ecosystems are crucial to the carbon cycle, biodiversity, fisheries, and erosion prevention. However, there are gaps in mapping seagrass in tropical coastal waters due to turbidity and constantly changing tidal dynamics. To tackle such issues, tidal heights and reflectance of 33 Sentinel-2 images were used to calculate a multitemporal composite of Sentinel-2 images, which was classified using the Random Forest classifier. UAV images classified with Object-based image analysis provided ground truth for training and validation. The effectiveness of water column correction and using the multitemporal composite was evaluated by comparing overall classification accuracy. As a result, applying water column correction improved classification accuracy from 80.4% to 80.6%, while using the multi-temporal composite improved accuracy to 88.6%, among the highest accuracy achieved for seagrass classification in turbid waters. The combined protocol could lead to advances in quantifying seagrass distribution in the tropical coastal waters and their carbon sequestration capacity, resolving significant uncertainties in blue carbon estimation.

description: Context: The evolution of solar active regions is still not fully understood. The growth and decay of active regions have mostly been studied in case-by-case studies. Aims: Instead of studying the evolution of active regions case by case, we performed a large-scale statistical study to find indications for the statistically most frequent scenario. Methods: We studied a large sample of active regions recorded by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager instrument. The sample was split into two groups: forming (367 members) and decaying (679 members) active regions. We tracked individual dark features (i.e. those that are assumed to be intensity counterparts of magnetised fragments from small objects to proper sunspots) and followed their evolution. We investigated the statistically most often locations of fragment merging and splitting as well as their properties. Results: Our results confirm that statistically, sunspots form by merging events of smaller fragments. The coalescence process is driven by turbulent diffusion in a process similar to random-walk, where supergranular flows seem to play an important role. The number of appearing fragments does not seem to significantly correlate with the number of sunspots formed. The formation seems to be consistent with the magnetic field accumulation. Statistically, the merging occurs most often between a large and a much smaller object. The decay of the active region seems to take place preferably by a process similar to the erosion.

description: The determination of reological characteristics of liquid fluids was conducted using measured values of the friction coefficient. for the above reason a new two disk test rig has been constructed, able for measuring the friction coefficient, by measuring the friction force, the disks temperature field, the contact time percentage, the wear of the disks and it is capable of performing fatique and scuff experiments. The results derived from the new test rig were compared with results from other test rigs and found to be similar. A new method was developed, for the fast calculation of the mean temperature of the oil film, using the finite elements method of the block theory as well as the oil height and is independent of the reological law of the lubricant. The results were copmared with other methods and the validity was very high. Using this method in congunction with measured values of the friction coefficient, the relationship of the Eyring stress over the mean temperature of the oil film was derived for the lubricant under investigation. Finally, from this relationship the friction coefficient was calculated and was compared with the measured values of the friction coefficient, for ellipticities from 1 to 12 showing very satisfactory results

Based on the developed theory of the dispersion and acoustic mode width of a quasi-Rayleigh wave on the adsorbed surface of monocrystals with a Zinc blende structure, the temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency of the surface acoustic wave is calculated depending on the temperature and on the concentration of adsorbed atoms.

description: We provide a new framework for the joint analysis of cluster observations (JACO) using simultaneous fits to X-ray, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ), and weak lensing data. Our method fits the mass models simultaneously to all data, provides explicit separation of the gaseous, dark, and stellar components, and--for the first time--allows joint constraints on all measurable physical parameters. JACO includes additional improvements to previous X-ray techniques, such as the treatment of the cluster termination shock and explicit inclusion of the BCG's stellar mass profile. An application of JACO to the rich galaxy cluster Abell 478 shows excellent agreement among the X-ray, lensing, and SZ data. We find that Abell 478 is consistent with a cuspy dark matter profile with inner slope n=1. Accounting for the stellar mass profile of the BCG allows us to rule out inner dark matter slopes n>1.1 at the 99% confidence level. At large radii, an 1/r^3 asymptotic slope is preferred over an 1/r^4 behavior. All single power law dark matter models are ruled out at greater than the 99% confidence level. JACO shows that self-consistent modeling of multiwavelength data can provide powerful constraints on the shape of the dark profile.

description: Background: Orthostatic tremor is one of the few tremor conditions requiring an electromyogram for definitive diagnosis since leg tremor might not be visible to the naked eye. Phenomenology Shown: An iOS application (iSeismometer, ObjectGraph LLC, New York) using an Apple iPhone 5 (Cupertino, CA, USA) inserted into the patient’s sock detected a tremor with a frequency of 16.4 Hz on both legs. Educational Value: The rapid and straightforward accelerometer-based recordings accomplished in this patient demonstrate the ease with which quantitative analysis of orthostatic tremor can be conducted and, importantly, demonstrates the potential application of this approach in the assessment of any lower limb tremor.

description: Background: Acute post-anoxic myoclonus (PAM) can be divided into an unfavorable (generalized/subcortical) and more favorable ((multi)focal/cortical) outcome group that could support prognostication in post-anoxic encephalopathy; however, the inter-rater variability of clinically assessing these PAM subtypes is unknown. Methods: We prospectively examined PAM patients using a standardized video protocol. Videos were rated by three neurologists who classified PAM phenotype (generalized/(multi)focal), stimulus sensitivity, localization (proximal/distal/both), and severity (Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale (CGI-S) and Unified Myoclonus Rating Scale (UMRS)). Results: Poor inter-rater agreement was found for phenotype and stimulus sensitivity (κ = –0.05), moderate agreement for localization (κ = 0.46). Substantial agreement was obtained for the CGI-S (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.64) and almost perfect agreement for the UMRS (ICC = 0.82). Discussion: Clinical assessment of PAM is not reproducible between physicians, and should therefore not be used for prognostication. PAM severity measured by the UMRS appears to be reliable; however, the relation between PAM severity and outcome is unknown.

description: Understanding the dynamics of flooding events is crucial to mitigate flood risks, particularly in developing nations like Sudan. This study combines multi-sensor approaches with Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) modeling to predict flood inundation extent over the Nile River Basin (NRB). Building upon the RRI model, we firstly simulated the streamflow over the Blue Nile basin and the White Nile basin. Our results show a good agreement between the observed and the simulated streamflow at both daily and monthly scales, e.g., NSE = 0.72 and R2 = 0.85 for daily simulations at Khartoum station. Further, we compared the inundation extents from the RRI model with derived inundation maps from different satellite images (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, and MODIS). The results indicate the potential to overcome the limitation of data scarcity in developing regions and hence provide a supportive assessment tool for flood risk maps in the NRB.

description: Coupling individual atoms via tunneling fundamentally changes the state of matter: electrons bound to atomic cores become delocalized resulting in a change from an insulating to a metallic state, as it is well known from the canonical example of solids. A chain of atoms could lead to more exotic states if the tunneling takes place via the superconducting vacuum and can induce topologically protected excitations like Majorana or parafermions. Toward the realization of such artificial chains, coupling a single atom to the superconducting vacuum is well studied, but the hybridization of two sites via the superconductor was not yet reported. The peculiar vacuum of the BCS condensate opens the way to annihilate or generate two electrons from the bulk resulting in a so-called Andreev molecular state. By employing parallel nanowires with an Al superconductor shell, two artificial atoms were created at a minimal distance with an epitaxial superconducting link between. Hybridization via the BCS vacuum was observed between the two artificial atoms for the first time, as a demonstration of an Andreev molecular state.

description: The parity non-conservation effect in diffractive charged current DIS is quantified in terms of color dipole sizes of left-handed and right-handed electroweak bosons. We identify the origin and estimate the strength of the left-right asymmetry effect and present comparison with experimental data on the parity-odd structure function $ΔxF_3 =xF_3^{νN}-xF_3^{\barνN}$. We study the shadowing effect in absorption of left-handed and right-handed $W$-bosons by atomic nuclei. The target nucleus is found to be quite transparent for the charmed-strange Fock component of the light-cone $W^+$ in the helicity state $λ=+1$ and rather opaque for the $c\bar s$ dipole with $λ=-1$.

The Olivary Hypothesis of Essential Tremor: Time to Lay this Model to Rest?

description: Background: Although essential tremor (ET) is the most common tremor disorder, its pathogenesis is not fully understood. The traditional model of ET, proposed in the early 1970s, posited that the inferior olivary nucleus (ION) was the prime generator of tremor in ET and that ET is a disorder of electrophysiological derangement, much like epilepsy. This article comprehensively reviews the origin and basis of this model, its merits and problems, and discusses whether it is time to lay this model to rest. Methods: A PubMed search was performed in March 2017 to identify articles for this review. Results: The olivary model gains support from the recognition of neurons with pacemaker property in the ION and the harmaline-induced tremor models (as the ION is the prime target of harmaline). However, the olivary model is problematic, as neurons with pacemaker property are not specific to the ION and the harmaline model does not completely represent the human disease ET. In addition, a large number of neuroimaging studies in ET have not detected structural or functional changes in the ION; rather, abnormalities have been reported in structures related to the cerebello-thalamo-cortical network. Moreover, a post-mortem study of microscopic changes in the ION did not detect any differences between ET cases and controls. Discussion: The olivary model largely remains a physiological construct. Numerous observations have cast considerable doubt as to the validity of this model in ET. Given the limitations of the model, we conclude that it is time now to lay this model to rest.

description: We study a system of intersecting NS and D-branes in type IIA string theory in R^{9,1}. We show that the 3+1 dimensional non-supersymmetric theory at the intersection has unstable vacua which are long-lived in some regions of the parameter space of brane configurations, and disappear in others. We also comment on the relation of our construction to systems of D and anti D-branes wrapped around cycles of non-compact Calabi-Yau manifolds and to other related systems.

description: Floods are a recurrent natural calamity that presents substantial hazards to human lives and infrastructure. The study indicates that a significant proportion of the study area, specifically 27.05%, is classified as a moderate flood risk zone (FRZ), while 20.78% is designated as high or very high FRZ. The region’s low and very low FRZ are classified at 52.17%. The GIS-based AHP model demonstrated exceptional predictive precision, achieving a score of 0.749 (74.90%) as determined by the AUC-ROC, a widely used statistical evaluation tool. The current study has identified areas with high FRZ in the affected CD blocks, which are situated in low-lying flood plains, regions with gentle slopes, high drainage density, high TWI, low NDVI, high MNDWI, areas with high population density, intensive agricultural land. The findings of this research offer significant perspectives for decision-makers, city planners, and emergency management agencies in devising efficient measures to mitigate flood risks.

description: Background: Velopharyngeal dysfunction produces a nasal speech pattern because of the inability to close the nasal airway during speech, most often associated with anatomical abnormalities of the palate. Case Report: We describe two cases of possible velopharyngeal dystonia, a task-specific movement disorder causing a speech pattern similar to velopharyngeal dysfunction. Both patients experienced treatment response with anticholinergic medication. Discussion: Dystonia affecting speech via involvement of the pharyngeal musculature may be an unrecognized etiology of voice disorders.
