description: Obesity is a growing concern. New World Health Organization (WHO) figures indicate that obesity is spreading around the world as a "global epidemic." According to the WHO, there are more people suffering overweight related problems than malnutrition. Globally there are more than 1 billion adults who are overweight and at least 300 million of them are clinically obese, while 800 million suffer malnutrition (WHO 2004). The body mass index (BMI) is a common and accepted measure to report obesity rates (see WHO 1997). BMI is measured as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Recommended BMI levels are generally between a numerical value of 20 and 25. An individual with a BMI between 25 and 30 is considered overweight, while an individual with a BMI above 30 is considered obese. Individuals with BMIs below 20 are considered thin.

description: The secondary of the famous young binary RW Aur is much less studied than the primary. To compensate this shortcoming, we present here the results of UBVRIJHK photometric, VRI polarimetric and optical spectral observations of RW Aur B. The star demonstrates chaotic brightness variations in the optical band with irregular short (~ 1 day) dimmings with an amplitude $ΔV$ up to $1.3^{\rm m}.$ The dimmings are accompanied with an increase in the linear polarization (up to 3 per cent in the I band), presumably due to the scattering of the stellar radiation by dust in the circumstellar disc that means that RW Aur B can be classified as a UX Ori type star. We concluded that the observed excess emission at $λ\lesssim 0.45$ $μ$m and longward $\approx$ 2 $μ$m as well as a variability of fluxes and profiles of HI, HeI and NaI D emission lines are due to the accretion process. At the same time, emission components of Ca II lines indicate that RW Aur B has a powerful chromosphere. Assuming the solar elemental abundances, we found the following parameters of the star: $T_{\rm eff} = 4100-4200$ K, $A_{\rm V}=0.6 \pm 0.1$ (out of the dimming events), $L_* \approx 0.6$ $L_\odot,$ $R_* \approx 1.5$ $R_\odot,$ $M\approx 0.85$ M$_\odot,$ $\dot M_{\rm acc}<5\times 10^{-9}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}.$ Finally, we discuss possible reasons for the different levels of the accretion activity of RW Aur binary components and present arguments in favour of the fact that they are gravitationally bound.

description: Consider a compact locally symmetric space $M$ of rank $r$, with fundamental group $Γ$. The von Neumann algebra $\vn(Γ)$ is the convolution algebra of functions $f\in\ell_2(Γ)$ which act by left convolution on $\ell_2(Γ)$. Let $T^r$ be a totally geodesic flat torus of dimension $r$ in $M$ and let $Γ_0\cong\bb Z^r$ be the image of the fundamental group of $T^r$ in $Γ$. Then $\vn(Γ_0)$ is a maximal abelian $\star$-subalgebra of $\vn(Γ)$ and its unitary normalizer is as small as possible. If $M$ has constant negative curvature then the Pukánszky invariant of $\vn(Γ_0)$ is $\infty$.

description: Stamen with Asteropollis - type pollen sp. 2
Text-fig. 15a–e
Description and remarks. The species is based on a single stamen with numerous Asteropollis- type pollen grains in situ. The stamen is about 0.9 mm long and 0.4 mm broad, obovate in shape, with a pointed base and a domeshaped sterile extension of the connective with short, stiff trichomes at the apex (Text-fig. 15a). There are no remains of a filament and the anthers may have been sessile or almost sessile. The anther is tetrasporangiate with two pairs of pollen sacs (Text-fig. 15a). Pollen is pentachotomocolpate, rarely tetrachotomocolpate, circular in equatorial outline and about 15–18 µm in diameter (Text-fig. 15b–d). The arms of the aperture are short and do not reach to the equator. The aperture margins are poorly defined and the aperture membrane is covered by irregular verrucae (Text-fig. 15b– d). The exine is semitectate-reticulate, columellate, with short, densely spaced columellae, about 0.8 µm long that diminish in thickness towards the thick foot layer (Text-fig. 15b–e). Lumina are irregular in shape, up to about 1.2 µm in diameter. Muri are about 0.4 µm wide with a rounded profile and are ornamented by minute verrucae aligned in two longitudinal rows that form poorly defined transverse ridges.
Affinity and other occurrences. The in situ pollen grains of Asteropollis- type pollen sp. 2 differ from the pollen associated with Hedyflora crystallifera, and also pollen of Asteropollis- type pollen sp. 1 (above), in their smaller size and in having a mainly pentachotomocolpate aperture configuration in contrast to the typical tetrachotomocolpate, or sometimes trichotomocolpate, pollen of Hedyflora crystallifera. Stamens producing the two Asteropollis pollen types (sp. 1 and sp. 2) are also distinct in shape and size. In aperture configuration the pentachotomocolpate grains are more comparable to pollen of Asteropollis asteroides and pollen of extant Hedyosmum (e.g., Walker and Walker 1984).

description: During pre-accession period the farmers exploited the possibilities to draw financial resources from programme SAPARD in terms of agreed programmes. Since May 2004 there appear two further programs (Agricultural Operational Programme, Horizontal Rural Development Plan) which help farmers from the new member countries EU to improve their conditions in agriculture. At these days there are putting on the table new proposal for support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural development (EAFRD). This paper presents the methods and the results connected with the transmission of knowledge from the SAPARD programs to the work on EAFRD.
Relations of perceptions of the school goal structure and personal achievement goals to early adolescents’ emotional well-being

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Adopting a goal theory perspective, the current study explored the relations of early adolescents' perception of the school goal structure and their personal goals, to their emotional well-being. Specifically, the current study examined the independent contribution of personal goals and perception of the school goal structure to emotional well-being and explored how the mismatch between early adolescents' personal goal orientation and their perception of the school's goal structure relates to their emotional well-being. Accordingly, 251 middle school students in grades 6, 7, and 8 completed self-report questionnaires assessing their personal goals, perceptions of the school goal structure, mental health (anxiety and depression), and self-perceptions (academic competence and self-worth). In addition, teachers completed ratings of the participants' school functioning (problem and competent behaviours). Correlational results indicated that personal task goals and perception of a school task goal structure was negatively associated with depression, anxiety, and problem behaviours and positively associated with perceptions of academic competence, feelings of self-worth, and competent behaviours. In contrast, personal relative ability goals and perception of a school ability goal structure was positively associated with depression, anxiety, and problem behaviours and negatively associated with perceptions of academic competence, feelings of selfworth, and competent behaviours. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that both students' personal goals and their perceptions of the school goal structure predicted their mental health and their self-perceptions of academic competence. However, perceptions of the school goal structure rather than personal goals predicted their feelings of self-worth. In contrast, personal goals rather than school emphases were related to teacher ratings of competent and problem behaviours. Overall, perceptions of a school ability goal structure emerged as the strongest predictor for all the indices of emotional well-being used in the current investigation.

description: We report a method for fabricating nanogaps directly with electron beam lithography (EBL). The primary resolution-limit of EBL, electron back-scattering, is reduced dramatically by using a thin-film as a substrate. We show that this resolution enhancement allows one to fabricate metal electrodes with separation from arbitrarily large to under one nanometer. Furthermore, because these nanogaps are on a thin film, they can be imaged with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Using these nanogaps we measured the charge transport through several coupled PbSe nanocrystals and correlated the data with detailed structural information obtained by performing HRTEM on the same device.

description: DNA samples of cows of Simmental and Kholmogory breeds served as the material for the research. Release of DNA was carried out by a standard method of phenol–chloroform extraction. Polymorphisms of rs43703015 of the CSN3 gene, rs109625649 of the LGB gene and rs134028641 of the PRL gene are studied by means of PCR-RFLP analysis. In all studied selections, the A allele prevails on the CSN3 gene. The frequency of the A allele prevailed over the frequency of the B allele on the PRL gene. The animals with the greatest milk yield and fat content of milk on the CSN3 gene had the genotype including the A allele. Depending on the LGB genotype, there was established that the largest size of milk yields have individuals with the AA and AB genotype in selections of the Simmental breed of both selections. In selection of the Kholmogory breed - with the B genotype. Adaptation process is fraught with a serious pressure, that, undoubtedly, affects the efficiency; while long-acting it leads to disorder of physiological functions. Therefore, realization of genetic potential of the delivered cattle to Yakutia will require time.

description: The quantum theory, that we now know, arose in the process of sharp disputes between its creators. One of the results of these disputes was the emergence in recent years of fundamentally new areas of investigation and technology - quantum information and quantum computing. One of the subjects of controversy between the creators of quantum theory was the quantum jump. We draw the attention to the possibility of experimental investigation of this problem with the help of quantum superconductor nanostructures. The first results of experiments are presented, the paradoxicality of which indicates the relevance of the problem.

description: The N-point amplitudes for the Type II and Heterotic superstrings at two-loop order and for $N \leq 4$ massless NS bosons are evaluated explicitly from first principles, using the method of projection onto super period matrices introduced and developed in the first five papers of this series. The gauge-dependent corrections to the vertex operators, identified in paper V, are carefully taken into account, and the crucial counterterms which are Dolbeault exact in one insertion point and de Rham closed in the remaining points are constructed explicitly. This procedure maintains gauge slice independence at every stage of the evaluation. Analysis of the resulting amplitudes demonstrates, from first principles, that for $N\leq 3$, no two-loop corrections occur, while for N=4, no two-loop corrections to the low energy effective action occur for $R^4$ terms in the Type II superstrings, and for $F^4$, $F^2F^2$, $F^2R^2$, and $R^4$ terms in the Heterotic strings.

PHOSPHOPROTEINS AS A FACTOR FOR COLLOID STABILITY OF CASEIN MICELLES IN MILK
Creators: name: Osintsev, Aleksej

Publisher: name: JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
Year: 2019

description: Understanding the role of calcium in colloidal stability of casein micelles, that is unquestionable, could become the key to control the process of milk coagulation. It is evident that calcium ions can influence milk coagulation, but the molecular mechanism of this influence to micellar casein system is not fully understandable. Methodologically, our research was based on an idea that calcium ions can change the electric charge of casein micelles in the process of dissociation and recombination of some kinds of phosphoproteins, which are components of the casein micelles. A simple quantitative model, which includes kinetic description of the proteolysis process and the thermodynamics of the dissociation process of the functional groups of micellar caseins, was worked out to analyze experimental results. Kinetic and thermodynamic methods of describing the process of stability loss in micellar system were combined in one model, using the concept of solvent quality which is defined by the second osmotic virial coefficient. Our experiments showed that calcium ions are able to connect chemically to caseins in the micelles. Using reasonable assessments for thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, we managed to get quite adequate description of the experimental data. We also demonstrated principal possibility of using our model to describe rennet, acid and mixed acid- rennet clotting of milk as well as heat-calcium and heat-acid coagulation of milk.

description: Even after more then ten years after the beginning of the transition process, Russian agriculture shows only limited sign of a recovery. Production has not reached the level of the pre-transition period and investment is still on a very low level. In this paper we use the "Theory of Induced Innovation" in order to access the development of production structures in Russia and to identify the major obstacles for restructuring. We argue that due to multiple market failure (capital, labour) and inappropriate institutional arrangements inherited from Soviet times hinder the development of Russian agriculture. Both reasons causes that agricultural enterprises have difficulties with regard to an adjustment of factor input and production corresponding to the real scarcities of production factors. Agricultural policies based on subsidizing factor use or minimum prices will be an inefficient approach to solve the problems. A promising approach instead would be encouraging market transactions and fostering the integration of agricultural enterprises in the regional and domestic factor and product markets.

description: We present spectroscopic observations of red giant branch (RGB) stars in the Andromeda spiral galaxy (M31), acquired with the DEIMOS instrument on the Keck II 10-m telescope. The three fields targeted in this study are in the M31 spheroid, outer disk, and giant southern stream. In this paper, we focus on the kinematics and chemical composition of RGB stars in the stream field located at a projected distance of R = 20 kpc from M31's center. A mix of stellar populations is found in this field. M31 RGB stars are isolated from Milky Way dwarf star contaminants using a variety of spectral and photometric diagnostics. The radial velocity distribution of RGB stars displays a clear bimodality -- a primary peak centered at v = -513 km/s and a secondary one at v = -417 km/s -- along with an underlying broad component that is presumably representative of the smooth spheroid of M31. Both peaks are found to be dynamically cold with intrinsic velocity dispersions of sigma(v) = 16 km/s. The mean metallicity and metallicity dispersion of stars in the two peaks is also found to be similar: [Fe/H] = -0.45 and sigma([Fe/H]) = 0.2. The observed velocity of the primary peak is consistent with that predicted by dynamical models for the stream, but there is no obvious explanation for the secondary peak. The nature of the secondary cold population is unclear: it may represent: (1) tidal debris from a satellite merger event that is superimposed on, but unrelated to, the giant southern stream; (2) a wrapped around component of the giant southern stream; (3) a warp or overdensity in M31's disk at R > 50 kpc (this component is well above the outward extrapolation of the smooth exponential disk brightness profile).

description: A search for associated production of charginos and neutralinos is performed using data recorded with the D0 detector at a ppbar center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. This analysis considers final states with missing transverse energy and three leptons, of which at least two are electrons or muons. No evidence for supersymmetry is found in a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 320 pb-1. Limits on the product of the production cross section and leptonic branching fraction are set. For the minimal supergravity model, a chargino lower mass limit of 117 GeV at the 95% C.L. is derived in regions of parameter space with enhanced leptonic branching fractions.

description: In developed countries governments aim to increase the market share of organic products. Assuming that organic farming creates a positive externality, we address the question of how this environmental benefit can be internalized best. Using the concept of heterogeneous producers and consumers we compare two policy options to enhance organic supply and demand with respect to their efficiency and distributional effect: First, we analyze the effect of a supply-side oriented policy like a subsidy on organic production. Second, we compare this policy measure to a demand-side oriented information policy, which aims to enhance the acceptance and identification of an organic food label. Third, we assume a mix of both policy measures. The main findings of this paper are that conventional consumers and organic producers and consumers experience a gain in welfare. The efficiency of any policy measure considered strongly depends on the utility enhancement experienced by organic consumers due to an information policy and the costs of transferring the information to the consumer.

description: The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy at the Co/oxide interface in Pt/Co/MOx (MOx = MgOx, AlOx, TbOx) was modified by an electric field using a 10 nm-thick ZrO2 as a solid electrolyte. The large voltage-driven modification of interfacial magnetic anisotropy and the non-volatility of the effect is explained in terms of the migration of oxygen ions towards/away from the Co/MOx interface. While the effect is reversible in Pt/Co/AlOx and Pt/Co/TbOx, where the Co layer can be oxidised or reduced, in Pt/Co/MgOx the effect has been found to be irreversible. We propose that these differences may be related to the different nature of the ionic conduction within the MOx layers.

description: We report on our XMM observations of the high redshift quasars BR 2237--0607 (z=4.558) and BR 0351--1034 (z=4.351), together with 14 other z>4 objects found in the XMM public archive. Contrary to former reports, we do not find high redshift radio-loud quasars to be more absorbed than their radio-quiet counterparts. We find that the optical to X-ray spectral index alpha-ox is correlated with the luminosity density at 2500 A, but does not show a correlation with redshift. The mean 2-10 keV power-law slope of the 9 high redshift radio-quiet quasars in our sample for which a spectral analysis can be performed is alpha-x1.23+-0.48, similar to alpha-x=1.19 found from the ASCA observations of low redshift Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s), and significantly different from alpha-x=0.78 found for low redshift Broad-Line Seyfert galaxies. While the optical/UV spectra of low to high redshift quasars look remarkably similar, we find a first indication of a difference in their X-ray spectrum. The steep X-ray spectral index suggests high Eddington ratios L/L_Edd. These observations give credence to the hypothesis of Mathur (2000) that NLS1s are low luminosity cousins of high redshift quasars, both likely to be in their early evolutionary stage.

description: The article discusses the need for the use of resource-saving and environmental protection systems of agriculture in the rice growing of the Krasnodar Territory. Due to the fact that rice irrigation systems located in the Krasnodar Territory are outdated, and projects aimed at the reconstruction of these systems do not always meet ecological-landscape principles, the efficiency of their use has decreased, which leads to environmental and economic problems such as as salinization, reduction of soil fertility and reduction of agro-resource potential of land. To eliminate these problems arising in such conditions, certain costs are necessary, which reduces the profitability of rice cultivation and can lead to the ruin of farms. To avoid these problems, a number of activities are being carried out, which consider possible solutions to these problems, aimed at expanding the functional capabilities of rice irrigation systems through reconstruction projects that will yield high yields and increase the efficiency of using natural resources, such as water and land.

Gamma Rays from Compton Scattering in the Jets of Microquasars: Application to LS 5039

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: Recent HESS observations show that microquasars in high-mass systems are sources of VHE gamma-rays. A leptonic jet model for microquasar gamma-ray emission is developed. Using the head-on approximation for the Compton cross section and taking into account angular effects from the star's orbital motion, we derive expressions to calculate the spectrum of gamma rays when nonthermal jet electrons Compton-scatter photons of the stellar radiation field. Calculations are presented for power-law distributions of nonthermal electrons that are assumed to be isotropically distributed in the comoving jet frame, and applied to $γ$-ray observations of LS 5039. We conclude that (1) the TeV emission measured with HESS cannot result only from Compton-scattered stellar radiation (CSSR), but could be synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) emission or a combination of CSSR and SSC; (2) fitting both the HESS data and the EGRET data associated with LS 5039 requires a very improbable leptonic model with a very hard electron spectrum. Because the gamma rays would be variable in a leptonic jet model, the data sets are unlikely to be representative of a simultaneously measured gamma-ray spectrum. We therefore attribute EGRET gamma rays primarily to CSSR emission, and HESS gamma rays to SSC emission. Detection of periodic modulation of the TeV emission from LS 5039 would favor a leptonic SSC or cascade hadron origin of the emission in the inner jet, whereas stochastic variability alone would support a more extended leptonic model. The puzzle of the EGRET gamma rays from LS 5039 will be quickly solved with GLAST. (Abridged)

description: In this article we find connections between the values of Gauss hypergeometric functions and the dimension of the vector space of Hodge cycles of four dimensional cubic hypersurfaces. Since the Hodge conjecture is well-known for those varieties we calculate values of Hypergeometric series on certain $CM$ points. Our methods is based on the calculation of the Picard-Fuchs equations in higher dimensions, reducing them to the Gauss equation and then applying the Abelian Subvariety Theorem to the corresponding hypergeometric abelian varieties.

description: Finite-range regularised (FRR) chiral effective field theory is presented in the context of approximation schemes ubiquitous in modern lattice QCD calculations. Using FRR techniques, the power-counting regime (PCR) of chiral perturbation theory can be estimated. To fourth-order in the expansion at the 1% tolerance level, we find m_π< 180 MeV for the PCR, extending only a small distance beyond the physical pion mass.

description: The article proposes the development of salt-free bread sticks for chloride-free diet. The results of studies of the chemical composition of non-traditional raw materials are presented: linseed flour and grape seed oil, the use of which allows increasing the content of protein, dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals, polyunsaturated fatty acids in the formulation of products. The influence of table salt and non-traditional types of raw materials on organoleptic, physicochemical parameters of finished products, their microstructure is determined. The use of an enzyme composition in the formulation of salt-free bread sticks is proposed with the aim of leveling the absence of salt. The results of the determination of antioxidant activity and nutritional value of products are presented. The data obtained will contribute to the expansion of the assortment of dietary bakery products of increased nutritional value.

description: Using market data, we have estimated the quasi option value of delaying to grow genetically modified corn and soybeans in Europe. We find that the current quasi option value of growing genetically modified soybeans and corn in Europe is high. This makes it likely that for the time being the information value of waiting exceeds the market gains of growing genetically modified plants in Europe.

description: The many-body problem can in general not be solved exactly, and one of the most prominent approximations is to build perturbation expansions. A huge variety of expansions is possible, which differ by the quantity to be expanded, the expansion variable, the starting point, and ideas how to resum or terminate the series. Although much has been discussed and much has been done, some choices were made for historical reasons, in particular, limited computation or storage capacities. The present work aims at examining the justifications for different choices made in different contexts, by comparing ingredients of functionals based on \GF s on one side, and on the charge density on the other side. Of particular interest will be the question of how to build an optimal starting point for the approximation of non-local quantities, making use of near- or far-sightedness, and daring to consider models beyond the homogeneous electron gas. This will include the use of connector approximations. We will also discuss why it is a good idea to build functionals of the density.

description: We report on a method of light-shift engineering where an auxiliary laser is used to tune the atomic transition frequency. The technique is used to selectively load a specific region of an optical lattice. The results are explained by calculating the differential light-shift of each hyperfine state. We conclude that the remarkable spatial selectivity of light-shift engineering using an auxiliary laser provides a powerful technique to prepare ultra-cold trapped atoms for experiments on quantum gases and quantum information processing.

description: As a result of the work, a collection of 259 lactic acid bacteria and yeast was created, having a viability index of more than 107 and possessing lactose-sensitizing activity. To determine the amount of lactose in milk, we used the cyanide method. In the cow's milk, which we are researching, lactose contains 3.3%. All cultures have the ability to ferment lactose. The active cultures of the yeast C164, C190, C196, C198, in which the complete utilization of lactose was carried out, gas evolution, organoleptic smell of alcohol and fresh koumiss was observed. When assessing the acid-forming activity, it was found that all cultures gave indicators of more than 40 ºT. C164, C190, C196, C198 cultures as a result of screening for lactose-utilizing activity and cultures with high rates of acid production of C147, C158, C124, C133, C145, L111, L44, L90, L12 will be considered as will be considered as applicants for ferments for the production of fermented milk food.

description: A number of African countries experienced since the mid 1980s a process of market liberalization that was expected to increase smallholders' access to inputs and outputs markets through the entry of private players. The effect on production, through uptake of improved technologies is however unclear. This paper aims at better understanding the dynamics of dairy technology uptake using a rich dataset of 874 households surveyed at two points of time. Using panel data enables to show the importance of differentiating 'permanent adopters' and 'temporary adopters'. Farmers with large land holdings are those who are able to have improved cattle at the two points of time, while those with smaller land size may not be able to maintain their animals on farm, either due to cash or land constraint. This has important policy implications in light of the current land policy reform that may introduce a lower ceiling to land size. Market liberalization has contrasting effects on dairy technology uptake. Results show that availability of formal milk marketing outlets has a positive effect on farmers' decision to keep improved cattle while at the same time increased level of inputs like concentrates feeding is found in areas with fewer formal marketing outlets. Given the current dynamic nature of the milk market, farmers adopt different strategies and more work is needed to better comprehend the relationship between market liberalization and dairy intensification.

description: Typing of an important pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus, permits epidemiological investigations within a community and within an individual hospital. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is the current “gold standard” method for typing this bacterial species in short-term epidemiological studies. However, PFGE requires specialized equipment and is rather slow. This article demonstrates the potential of a new typing method (double digest selective label – DDSL) as a fast, highly discriminatory alternative to PFGE for the typing of Staphylococcus aureus isolates. In this new typing method, large DNA fragments are produced with a restriction enzyme commonly used for PFGE but are trimmed by a second enzyme to a size which can be separated on a conventional agarose gel within a short period of time. Selective labelling of a subset of the numerous restriction fragments gives a distinct banding pattern for each isolate. The advantages of DDSL typing are its speed of analysis (one day) and the potential for greater discrimination between isolates than can be achieved with PFGE typing. An online service allows simulating the technique and a suggestion tool is developed for easy selection of endonucleases for this genotyping method.

description: We are concerned with the Calderón inverse inclusion problem, where one intends to recover the shape of an inhomogeneous conductive inclusion embedded in a homogeneous conductivity by the associated boundary measurements. We consider the highly challenging case with a single partial boundary measurement, which constitutes a long-standing open problem in the literature. It is shown in several existing works that corner singularities can help to resolve the uniqueness and stability issues for this inverse problem. In this paper, we show that the corner singularity can be relaxed to be a certain high-curvature condition and derive a novel local unique determination result. To our best knowledge, this is the first (local) uniqueness result in determining a conductive inclusions with general smooth shapes by a single (partial) boundary measurement.
