description: Wheat is one of the most important crops in China. This study examines the contributions of wheat germplasm from different sources to wheat total factor productivity (TFP). Based on a unique dataset on planted area, pedigree and agronomic traits by variety for 17 major wheat-growing provinces from the past three decades, the results show that wheat TFP has grown steadily in the past three decades. On average, existing varieties are replaced by new ones in less than four years. Chinese wheat breeders have increasingly used CIMMYT breeding stocks to generate new wheat varieties, with CIMMYT germplasm contributing about 7% of the genetic material in Chinese wheat varieties during the past three decades and about 9% in recent years. More than 26% of all major wheat varieties released in China after 2000 contain CIMMYT germplasm. The use of CIMMYT gemplasm has resulted in an increase in TFP of 5% to 14% in the past three decades, depending on the measurement used. This represents from 3.8 million to 10.7 million tons of added grain. The paper concludes with policy implications for plant breeders and policy makers in China, as well as for international donors.

description: Superfamily Helicarionoidea Bourguignat, 1877   Remarks. Helicarionoidea was defined by Hausdorf (1998) as containing taxa with an epiphallic caecum, a flagellum with an axial filament and mantle lobes (although mantle lobes were also present in several other groups, including Euconulidae). The superfamily was made up of three groups, Ariophantidae, Urocyclidae and Helicarionidae. Hausdorf (1998) showed that the three family-group taxa can be divided by only one character: in Helicarionidae the penial sheath is open at the distal end (as in other Limacoidea s. l.), while in Ariophantidae and Urocyclidae the distal end of the penial sheath is fused to the epiphallus. Based on this, Hausdorf (1998) moved several taxa from Ariophantidae to Helicarionidae (Durgellinae, Girasiinae, Xesta, Sesara, Sarika and Teraia).
 Based on the results of our analyses, we define Helicarionoidea as follows: Shell complete or reduced. Mantle usually with visible minor blood vessels. Stimulator absent or present; if present, stimulator section A 5 absent or present; sections A 3 and A 4 absent; section A 2 usually with papilla (see appendix for explanation of stimulator section abbreviations), dart absent or present. Penial sheath open (Helicarionidae) or closed (Ariophantidae, Urocyclidae) at distal end. Epiphallic retractor caecum and epiphallic flagellum absent or present. Bursa copulatrix inserted on vagina or if vagina absent, at junction of penis and free oviduct. Spermatophore soft capsule with long firm tail-pipe.
 Description. Shell present, complete or reduced. Shell shape variable, sculpture, if present, typically weak; mantle laps and lobes variable. Sole of foot tripartite; caudal apparatus present, formed from curled up sole. Kidney unilobed; mantle gland absent. Genital system oviparous; oviduct glandular. Bursa copulatrix inserted on vagina or if vagina absent, at junction of free oviduct and penis. Stimulator absent or present. Penial sheath present, sometimes not covering entire penis; open (Helicarionidae) or fused to epiphallus (Ariophantidae, Urocyclidae) at distal end. Epiphallic retractor caecum absent or present; epiphallic flagellum absent or present. Spermatophore soft capsule with long, firm tail-pipe with various sculpture.

Massive core parameters from spatially unresolved multi-line observations

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present observations of 15 massive cores in three different CS transitions from the FCRAO 14m and the KOSMA 3m telescope. We derive physical parameters of these cores using different approaches to the line radiative transfer problem. The local radiative transfer approximations fail to provide reliable values except for the column densities. A self-consistent explanation of the observed line profiles is only possible when taking density gradients and an internal turbulent structure of the cores into account. The observational data can be fitted by a spherically symmetric radiative transfer model including such gradients and a turbulent clumping. We find that the observed massive cores are approximately virialised with a clumpy density profile that decays with a radial exponent of about -1.6 down to a relatively sharp outer boundary. We show that a careful analysis of spatially unresolved multi-line observations using a physical radiative transfer model can provide values for physical parameters that could be obtained otherwise only by direct observations with much higher spatial resolution. This applies to all quantities directly affecting the line excitation, like the mass and size of dense cores. Information on the exact location or number of clumps, of course, always has to rely on high-resolution observations e.g. from interferometers.

description: We study the memory property of the channels obtained by convex combinations of Markovian channels that are not necessarily quantum dynamical semigroups (QDSs). In particular, we characterize the geometry of the region of (non-)Markovian channels obtained by the convex combination of the three Pauli channels, as a function of deviation from the semigroup form in a family of channels. The regions are highly convex, and interestingly, the measure of the non-Markovian region shrinks with greater deviation from the QDS structure for the considered family, underscoring the counterintuitive nature of (non-)Markovianity under channel mixing.

description: Additional file 5. Differences in phylotypes of early life gut microbiota corresponding to different litters were identified Random Forest analysis. Using the Random Forest classifier, the most discriminative genus-level taxa between litters were identified. The taxa are ranked by the mean decrease in classification accuracy when they are permuted. The mean decrease accuracy is a measure of predictive power. The value indicates how much predictive power is lost if a given genus is removed or permuted in the Random Forest algorithm while classifying samples into litter groups. Litters were represented in sequential numbers 0â 5. L0 included uninoculated control piglets. Litters 1â 5 included all M. hyopneumonaie experimentally inoculated piglets.

description: We study a regression problem where for some part of the data we observe both the label variable (Y) and the predictors (X), while for other part of the data only the predictors are given. Such a problem arises, for example, when observations of the label variable are costly and may require a skilled human agent. When the conditional expectation E[Y|X] is not exactly linear, one can consider the best linear approximation to the conditional expectation, which can be estimated consistently by the least-square estimates (LSE). The latter depends only on the labeled data. We suggest improved alternative estimates to the LSE that use also the unlabeled data. Our estimation method can be easily implemented and has simply described asymptotic properties. The new estimates asymptotically dominate the usual standard procedures under certain non-linearity condition of E[Y|X]; otherwise, they are asymptotically equivalent. The performance of the new estimator for small sample size is investigated in an extensive simulation study. A real data example of inferring homeless population is used to illustrate the new methodology.

description: We present multiband optical/infrared photometry of V4580 Sgr, the optical counterpart of the accretion-powered millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658, taken during the 1998 X-ray outburst of the system. The optical flux is consistent with emission from an X-ray-heated accretion disk. Self-consistent modeling of the X-ray and optical emission during the outburst yields best-fit extinction Av=0.68 and inclination cos(i)=0.65, assuming a distance of 2.5 kpc. The allowed inclination range requires that the pulsar's stellar companion has extremely low mass, 0.05-0.10 Msun. Some of the infrared observations are not consistent with disk emission and are too bright to be from either the disk or the companion, even in the presence of X-ray heating.

Realizing the Harper model with Ultracold Atoms in a Ring Lattice

description: We demonstrate that all of the salient features of the Harper-Hofstadter model can be implemented with ultracold atoms trapped in a bichromatic ring-shaped lattice. Using realistic sinusoidal lattice potentials rather than assume the idealized tight-binding picture, we determine the optimal conditions necessary to realize the critical point where the spectrum becomes fractal, and identify the nature and cause of the departures from the discrete model predictions. We also show that even with a commensurate ring with a few lattice sites, the Aubry-André localization transition can be realized. Localized states that behave like edge states with energies that reside in the band gaps can be generated by introducing a surprisingly small local perturbation within the ring. Spectrum oscillation arising from complex coupling can be implemented by uniform rotation of the ring, but with certain significant differences that are explained

Quenching of High pT Hadron Spectra by Hadronic Interactions in Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC

description: Typically the materialization of high energetic transverse partons to hadronic jets is assumed to occur outside the reaction zone in a relativistic heavy ion collision. In contrast, a quantum mechanical estimate yields a time on the order of only a few fm/c for building up the hadronic wavefunction for jets with typical transverse momenta of pT < 10 GeV as accessible at RHIC facilities. The role of possible elastic or inelastic collisions of these high pT particles with the bulk of hadrons inside the fireball is addressed by means of an opacity expansion in the number of collisions. This analysis shows that the hadronic final state interactions can in principle account for the modification of the (moderate) high pT spectrum observed for central collisions at RHIC.

Purpose To describe perceptions of financial navigation staff concerning patients’ cancer-related financial burden. Methods This qualitative descriptive study used a semi-structured interview guide to examine perceptions of financial navigation staff concerning patients’ cancer-related financial burden. Staff who provided financial navigation support services to cancer patients were interviewed from different types of cancer programs across seven states representing rural, micropolitan, and urban settings. Interviews lasted approximately one hour, were audio recorded, and transcribed. Transcripts were double coded for thematic analysis. Results Thirty-five staff from 29 cancer centers were interviewed. The first theme involved communication issues related to patient and financial navigation staff expectations, timing and the sensitive nature of financial discussions. The second theme involved the multi-faceted impact of financial burden on patients, including stress, difficulty adhering to treatments, and challenges meeting basic, non-medical needs. Conclusions and Implications for Cancer Survivors Cancer-related financial burden has a profound impact on cancer survivors’ health and non-health outcomes. Discussions regarding cancer-related costs between cancer survivors and healthcare team members could help to normalize conversations and mitigate the multi-faceted determinants and effects of cancer-related financial burden. As treatment may span months and years and unexpected costs arise, having this discussion regularly and systematically is needed.

We sketch our proof of this conjecture when g=sl(n) and when g is arbitrary and V is a vector, spin or adjoint representation. We also establish a precise link between the connection D and Cherednik's generalisation of the KZ connection to finite reflection groups.

Arguments for a Hubble Constant near $H_0$ = 55
Creators: name: Arp, H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent analyses of Cepheid distances to spiral galaxies have led to an announcement of a Hubble constant of $H_0 = 72 \pm 8$ km/sec/Mpc. The new Cepheid distances, however, show that there are numerous redshift distances with large excesses which cannot be due to peculiar velocities. Ignoring these discordant redshifts, if the Hubble constant is calibrated with Cepheid distances of low redshift spirals a value near $H_0$ = 55 is obtained. Use of independent distance criteria such as Tully-Fisher and group membership verifies this value and leads to three conclusions: 1) The peculiar velocities of galaxies in space are characteristically small. 2) Sc companions to normal Sb's tend to be less luminous, with younger stellar populations and small amounts non velocity redshift. 3) ScI and other purportedly over luminous spirals have large amounts of intrinsic redshift.

description: We present two novel techniques for detecting zero-velocity events to improve foot-mounted inertial navigation. Our first technique augments a classical zero-velocity detector by incorporating a motion classifier that adaptively updates the detector's threshold parameter. Our second technique uses a long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network to classify zero-velocity events from raw inertial data, in contrast to the majority of zero-velocity detection methods that rely on basic statistical hypothesis testing. We demonstrate that both of our proposed detectors achieve higher accuracies than existing detectors for trajectories including walking, running, and stair-climbing motions. Additionally, we present a straightforward data augmentation method that is able to extend the LSTM-based model to different inertial sensors without the need to collect new training data.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία διερευνήθηκαν οι συνθήκες παραγωγής μίκρο – νάνο βιοεξανθρακωμάτων από λυματολάσπη. Η μείωση του μεγέθους των σωματιδίων του βιοεξανθρακώματος στη μίκρο – νάνο κλίμακα είναι μία αποτελεσματική προσέγγιση που μπορεί να βελτιώσει το πορώδες, την ειδική επιφάνεια και άλλες ιδιότητες των σωματιδίων, αναβαθμίζοντας το σε υλικό υψηλής ποιότητας, το λεγόμενο νάνο-βιοεξανθράκωμα. Συγκεκριμένα, χρησιμοποιήθηκε λυματολάσπη η οποία λήφθηκε από την Δημοτική Επιχείρηση Ύδρευσης Αποχέτευσης Χανίων (Κρήτη). Στη μονάδα αυτή τα αστικά λύματα υφίστανται δευτεροβάθμια επεξεργασία με το σύστημα ενεργού ιλύος, ενώ η επεξεργασία της ιλύος γίνεται με αναερόβια χώνευση και αφυδάτωση μέσω ται-νιών-φίλτρων-πρεσών. Στην παρούσα πειραματική μελέτη η αφυδατωμένη ιλύς ξηράνθη-κε σε φούρνο στους 105°C για 24 h, στην συνέχεια λειοτριβήθηκε, κοσκινίστηκε και απο-θηκεύτηκε σε αεροστεγή πλαστική σακούλα. Τα δείγματα βιοεξανθρακώματος παρα-σκευάστηκαν μέσω της διαδικασίας πυρόλυσης σε προκαθορισμένες θερμοκρασίες (300°C, 400°C, 500°C και 600°C) και για δύο διαφορετικούς χρόνους παραμονής, 1 h και 3 h. Ακολούθως, πραγματοποιήθηκε συνδυασμός ξηρής και υγρής λειοτρίβησης των παραγόμενων βιοεξανθρακωμάτων για χρονικά διαστήματα 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h και 12 h. Τέλος, μελετήθηκε η μεταβολή του μεγέθους της ειδικής επιφάνειας των βιοεξανθρακω-μάτων, του pH τους, της αγωγιμότητα τους, του μεγέθους d90, συναρτήσει της θερμοκρασίας πυρόλυσης, του χρόνου παραμονής τους στον φούρνο πυρόλυσης και του χρόνου υγρής λειοτρίβησης τους.
Με βάση τα πειραματικά αποτελέσματα διαπιστώθηκε αισθητή μείωση της κοκκομετρίας των βιοεξανθρακωμάτων με την αύξηση της θερμοκρασίας πυρόλυσης και του χρόνου υγρής λειοτρίβησης. Μικρότερο μέγεθος τεμαχιδίων, 1,93 μm και 1,78 μm αντίστοιχα, παρατηρήθηκε στα βιοεξανθρακώματα που προέκυψαν στην θερμοκρασία των 300 °C για χρόνο παραμονής 1 h και 3 h και για χρόνο υγρής λειοτρίβησης 12 h. Αξιοσημείωτη είναι η αύξηση της ειδικής επιφάνειας των δειγμάτων για χρόνο παραμονής στην θερμοκρασία πυρόλυσης 1 h σε όλες τις θερμοκρασίες (300°C, 400°C και 500°C) που εξετάστηκαν. Η τιμή της αρχικής ειδικής επιφάνειας στην θερμοκρασία των 500°C, από 50,3 m2/g, έφτασε 91 m2/g μετά από 12 h υγρής λειοτρίβησης. Επίσης, ενδιαφέρον παρατηρείται στις τιμές του  pH οι οποίες είναι αλκαλικές σε όλες τις θερμοκρασίες πυρόλυσης και αυξάνονται με την άνοδο της.

description: Gravitational wave (GW) has become one of the most active fields in physics and astronomy since the first direct detection of GW event in 2015. As is well known, multiple images of GW events are possible through the gravitational lenses. Here, we propose a novel mirror imaging mechanism for GW events different from the gravitational lens. In the literature, the superconductor was predicted to be highly reflective mirror for GWs. It is well known that neutron stars exhibit superconductivity and superfluidity. In this work, we predict that there are two types of GW mirror imaging phenomena caused by the neutron star located in Milky Way or the same host galaxy of GW source, which might be detected within a life period of man (namely the time delay $Δt$ can be a few years to a few tens of years). It is expected to witness this predicted GW mirror imaging phenomenon in the near future. In the long term, the observations of this novel GW mirror imaging phenomenon might help us to find numerous neutron stars unseen by other means, and learn more about the complicated internal structures of neutron stars, as well as their equations of state.

description: We develop an impact representation for the generalized distribution amplitude which describes the exclusive hadronization of a quark-antiquark pair to a pair of mesons. Experiments such as gamma^* gamma -> pi pi and gamma^* N -> pi pi N' are shown to probe the transverse size of the hadronization region of the quark antiquark pair that one can interpret as the transverse overlap of the two emerging mesons. An astonishing feature of this description is that low energy pi pi phase shift analysis can be used for understanding some properties of quark hadronization process.

description: We study a regression problem where for some part of the data we observe both the label variable (Y) and the predictors (X), while for other part of the data only the predictors are given. Such a problem arises, for example, when observations of the label variable are costly and may require a skilled human agent. When the conditional expectation E[Y|X] is not exactly linear, one can consider the best linear approximation to the conditional expectation, which can be estimated consistently by the least squares estimates (LSE). The latter depends only on the labeled data. We suggest improved alternative estimates to the LSE that use also the unlabeled data. Our estimation method can be easily implemented and has simply described asymptotic properties. The new estimates asymptotically dominate the usual standard procedures under certain non-linearity condition of E[Y|X]; otherwise, they are asymptotically equivalent. The performance of the new estimator for small sample size is investigated in an extensive simulation study. A real data example of inferring homeless population is used to illustrate the new methodology.

description: We investigate the giant gravitons in the maximally supersymmetric IIB pp-wave from several viewpoints: (i) the dynamics of D3-branes, (ii) the world-sheet description and (iii) the correlation functions in the dual N=4 Yang-Mills theory. In particular, we derive the BPS equation of a D3-brane with magnetic flux, which is equivalent to multiple D-strings, and discuss the behavior of solutions in the presence of RR-flux. We find solutions which represent the excitations of the giant gravitons in that system.

description: I show that particle collider experiments on relativistic nuclear collisions can serve as direct probes of the deformation of the colliding nuclear species. I argue that collision events presenting very large multiplicities of particles and very small values of the average transverse momentum of the emitted hadrons probe collision geometries in which the nuclear ellipsoids fully overlap along their longer side. By looking at these events one selects interaction regions whose elliptic anisotropy is determined by the deformed nuclear shape, which becomes accessible experimentally through the measurement of the elliptic flow of outgoing hadrons.

description: It is a well-studied phenomenon in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ that pure states often appear 'too thermal' in the classical gravity limit, leading to a version of the information puzzle. One example is the case of a heavy scalar primary state, whose associated classical geometry is the BTZ black hole. Another example is provided by a heavy left-moving primary, which displays late time decay in chiral correlators. In this paper we study a special class of pure state geometries which do not display such information loss. They describe heavy CFT states created by a collection of chiral operators at various positions on the complex plane. In the bulk, these take the form of multi-centered solutions from the backreaction of a collection of spinning particles, which we construct for circular distributions of particles. We compute the two-point function of probe operators in these backgrounds and show that information is retrieved. We observe that the states for which our geometric picture is reliable are highly extended star-like objects in the bulk description. This may point to limitations of the semiclassical fuzzball picture of black hole microstates.

A novel approach for extracting time-delays from lightcurves of lensed quasar images

description: We present a new method to estimate time delays from light curves of lensed quasars. The method is based on chi^2 minimization between the data and a numerical model light curve. A linear variation can be included in order to correct for slow long-term microlensing effects in one of the lensed images. An iterative version of the method can be applied in order to correct for higher order microlensing effects. The method is tested on simulated light curves. When higher order microlensing effects are present the time delay is best constrained with the iterative method. Analysis of a published data set for the lensed double Q0957+561 yields results in agreement with other published estimates.

Postwar Family Fictions: Genres of the Middle-Class American Family, 1950-2000

description: In this dissertation, I argue that the emergence of a new form of family life after World War II had a defining effect on US fiction. It informed mainstream works such as Sloan Wilson’s The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit in the 1950s up to Meg Wolitzer’s The Wife in the early 2000s, and it also appeared in a range of genres such as science fiction and crime. Though varied in form, these fictions all responded to the dramatic restructuring of the middle-class family duringthe immediate postwar years. Sociologically, white Americans of an expanding middle class adopted an accelerated pattern of family formation in those years. They married young, bore two or more children in quick succession, and rarely divorced. Furthermore, these Americans relocated to the growing suburbs and organized their families around a division of labor that assigned men the role of the breadwinner and women the duties of the housewife and mother. Responding to these developments, authors published postwar family fictions: novels and shortstories that explored the shifted terrain of family life in the 1950s and ’60s. Surveying these fictions, I claim that the rise of the postwar family had a significant influence on the direction of American literary history. For a full five decades after World War II, authors from across the literary field would be drawn to that family structure, publishing fiction in an assortment of genres. Likely the best known of these is the domestic realism of writers such as John Cheever, John Updike, and Richard Yates. But beside that mainstream,postwar family fictions appeared in science fiction (in novels by Philip K. Dick and Judith Merril), crime fiction (Patricia Highsmith, Charles Willeford), and horror (Robert Bloch, IraLevin). Furthermore, the family engendered a host of microgenres, including the postwar family comedy (Thomas Berger, Alison Lurie) and second-wave feminist fiction (Marilyn French, Alix Kates Shulman). Finally, at the turn of the millennium several authors (Jeffrey Eugenides, RickMoody, Philip Roth, Wolitzer) looked back at the postwar family and reflected on its decline. Taking stock of this expansive body of fiction, I hold that the postwar family has been central to the literary production of the postwar period.

description: Proton therapy (PT) is sensitive towards anatomical changes that may occur during a treatment course. The aim of this study was to investigate if anatomically robust PT (ARPT) plans incorporating patient-specific target motion improved target coverage while still sparing normal tissues, when applied on locally advanced prostate cancer patients where pelvic irradiation is indicated. A planning computed tomography (CT) scan used for dose calculation and two additional CTs (acquired on different days) were used to make patient-specific targets for the ARPT plans on the eight included patients. The plans were compared to a conventional robust PT plan and a volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) photon plan, which were derived from the planning CT (pCT). Worst-case robust optimisation was used for all proton plans with a setup uncertainty of 5 mm and a range uncertainty of 3.5%. Target coverage (V95% and D95%) and normal tissue doses (V5–75 Gy) were evaluated on 6–8 rCTs per patient. The ARPT plans improved the prostate target coverage for the most challenging patient compared to conventional robust PT plans (20% point increase for V95% and 31 Gy increase for D95%). Across the whole cohort the estimated mean value for V95% was 97% for the ARPT plans and 95% for the conventional robust PT plans. The ARPT plans had a slight, statistically insignificant increase in normal tissue doses compared to the conventional robust proton plans. Compared to VMAT, the ARPT plans significantly reduced the normal tissue doses in the low-to-intermediate dose range. While both proton plans reduced the low-to-intermediate normal tissue doses compared to VMAT, ARPT plans improved the target coverage for the most challenging patient without significantly increasing the normal tissue doses compared to conventional robust PT plans.

description: As superconducting qubit circuits become more complex, addressing a large array of qubits becomes a challenging engineering problem. Dense arrays of qubits benefit from, and may require, access via the third dimension to alleviate interconnect crowding. Through-silicon vias (TSVs) represent a promising approach to three-dimensional (3D) integration in superconducting qubit arrays -- provided they are compact enough to support densely-packed qubit systems without compromising qubit performance or low-loss signal and control routing. In this work, we demonstrate the integration of superconducting, high-aspect ratio TSVs -- 10 $μ$m wide by 20 $μ$m long by 200 $μ$m deep -- with superconducting qubits. We utilize TSVs for baseband control and high-fidelity microwave readout of qubits using a two-chip, bump-bonded architecture. We also validate the fabrication of qubits directly upon the surface of a TSV-integrated chip. These key 3D integration milestones pave the way for the control and readout of high-density superconducting qubit arrays using superconducting TSVs.

description: As state transportation planners seek to build or support sustainable transportation systems in an era of economic challenges, they find few publicly available rail analysis models for stakeholders to examine the environmental impacts, socio-economic effects and costs associated in investing in rail infrastructure. This paper, taken from a University Transportation Center Program (UTCP Region 6) funded study presents stakeholders with the building blocks necessary to develop an integrated rail analysis model. It also reviews the current state of rail modeling, current rail models and presents a preliminary intermodal rail costing model .
