description: © The Author(s) 2020. Background: The Health Star Rating (HSR) is the government-endorsed front-of-pack labeling system in Australia and New Zealand. Objectives: We aimed to examine prospective associations of a dietary index (DI) based on the HSR, as an indicator of overall diet quality, with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Methods: We utilized data from the national population-based Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study. The HSR-DI at baseline (1999-2000) was constructed by 1) calculation of the HSR points for individual foods in the baseline FFQ, and 2) calculation of the HSR-DI for each participant based on pooled HSR points across foods, weighted by the proportion of energy contributed by each food. Vital status was ascertained by linkage to the Australian National Death Index. Associations of HSR-DI with mortality risk were assessed by Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: Among 10,025 eligible participants [baseline age: 51.6 ± 14.3 y (mean ± standard deviation)] at entry, higher HSR-DI (healthier) was associated with higher consumption of healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts, and lower consumption of discretionary foods such as processed meats and confectionery (P-trend < 0.001 for each). During a median follow-up of 16.9 y, 1682 deaths occurred with 507 CVD deaths. In multivariable models adjusted for demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and medical conditions, higher HSR-DI was associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality, with a hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of 0.80 (0.69, 0.94; P-trend < 0.001) comparing the fifth with the first HSR-DI quintile. A corresponding inverse association was observed for CVD mortality (0.71; 0.54, 0.94; P-trend = 0.008). Conclusions: Better diet quality as defined by the HSR-DI was associated with lower risk of all-cause and CVD mortality among Australian adults. Our findings support the use of the HSR nutrient profiling algorithm as a valid tool for guiding consumer food choices.

description: We present the first time-series study of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Hercules. Using a variety of telescope/instrument facilities we secured about 50 V and 80 B epochs. These data allowed us to detect and characterize 10 pulsating variable stars in Hercules. Our final sample includes 6 fundamental-mode (ab-type) and 3 first overtone (c-type) RR Lyrae stars, and one Anomalous Cepheid. The average period of the ab-type RR Lyrae stars, < Pab >= 0.68 d (sigma = 0.03 d), places Hercules in the Oosterhoff II group, as found for almost the totality of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxies investigated so far for variability. The RR Lyrae stars were used to obtain independent estimates of the metallicity, reddening and distance to Hercules, for which we find: [Fe/H] = -2.30+-0.15 dex, E(B -V) = 0.09+-0.02 mag, and (m-M)o = 20.6+-0.1 mag, in good agreement with the literature values. We have obtained a V, B - V color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of Hercules that reaches V ~ 25 mag and extends beyond the galaxy's half-light radius over a total area of 40' {\times} 36'. The CMD and the RR Lyrae stars indicate the presence of a population as old and metal-poor as (at least) the Galactic globular clusters M68.

description: Quartzarenites of the Rock Creek Member· (Middle Jurassic) are subtly distinct from overlying and adjacent quartzarenites and sublitharenites of the Ellerslie (Lower Cretaceous). Chert content of the Rock Creek is consistently lower than 1.5 percent, whereas the Ellerslie ranges from 3.5 to 10 percent. Rock Creek quartzarenites are characteristically planar laminated or centimetre thick cross bedded and associated with coquinoid sandstones. Ellerslie sandstones are typically decimetre thick cross bedded and have laterally equivalent facies of lenticular bedded sandstones and shales. Rock Creek sediments were deposited on a gently sloping, storm dominated shallow marine shelf and were derived from the east. Dark marine shales of the "Upper Fernie" (Passage Beds - Kootenay equivalent) overlie the Rock Creek in places. Exposure and partial erosion of the Jurassic units occurred during early Cretaceous time resulting in a gently sloping paleodrainage system which drained the central and eastern parts of the area to the northeast. Where erosion completely cut through resistant Rock Creek sandstones to the underlying soft black shales of the Poker Chip Shale, cuestas formed on the pre-Ellerslie surface with the paleotopographic highs capped by sandstones of the Rock Creek. Early Ellerslie sandstones were fluvial and confined to valleys incised into the Jurassic. Subsequently, these sediments were conformably overlain by transitional and marine sandstones and shales, deposited by the encroaching Ellerslie Sea, which filled and covered the· pre-Ellerslie topography.

description: Isomorphs are curves in the phase diagram along which a number of static and dynamic quantities are invariant in reduced units. A liquid has good isomorphs if and only if it is strongly correlating, i.e., the equilibrium virial/potential energy fluctuations are more than 90% correlated in the NVT ensemble. This paper generalizes isomorphs to liquids composed of rigid molecules and study the isomorphs of two systems of small rigid molecules, the asymmetric dumbbell model and the Lewis-Wahnstrom OTP model. In particular, for both systems we find that the isochoric heat capacity, the excess entropy, the reduced molecular center-of-mass self part of the intermediate scattering function, the reduced molecular center-of-mass radial distribution function to a good approximation are invariant along an isomorph. In agreement with theory, we also find that an instantaneous change of temperature and density from an equilibrated state point to another isomorphic state point leads to no relaxation. The isomorphs of the Lewis-Wahnstrom OTP model were found to be more approximative than those of the asymmetric dumbbell model, which is consistent with the OTP model being less strongly correlating. For both models we find "master isomorphs", i.e., isomorphs have identical shape in the virial/potential energy phase diagram.

description: We study the bipartite entanglement of strongly correlated systems using exact diagonalization techniques. In particular, we examine how the entanglement changes in the presence of long-range interactions by studying the Pariser-Parr-Pople model with long-range interactions. We compare the results for this model with those obtained for the Hubbard and Heisenberg models with short-range interactions. This study helps us to understand why the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) technique is so successful even in the presence of long-range interactions. To better understand the behavior of long-range interactions and why the DMRG works well with it, we study the entanglement spectrum of the ground state and a few excited states of finite chains. We also investigate if the symmetry properties of a state vector have any significance in relation to its entanglement. Finally, we make an interesting observation on the entanglement profiles of different states (across the energy spectrum) in comparison with the the corresponding profile of the density of states. We use isotropic chains and a molecule with non-Abelian symmetry for these numerical investigations.

description: Amplifying the phonon signal in a semiconductor dark matter detector can be accomplished by operating at high voltage bias and converting the electrostatic potential energy into Luke-Neganov phonons. This amplification method has been validated at up to |E|=40V/cm without producing leakage in CDMSII Ge detectors, allowing sensitivity to a benchmark WIMP with mass = 8GeV and cross section 1.8e-42cm^2 assuming flat electronic recoil backgrounds near threshold. Furthermore, for the first time we show that differences in Luke-Neganov gain for nuclear and electronic recoils can be used to discriminate statistically between low-energy background and a hypothetical WIMP signal by operating at two distinct voltage biases. Specifically, 99% of events have p-value<1e-8 for a simulated 20kg-day experiment with a benchmark WIMP signal with mass =8GeV and cross section =3.3e-41cm^2.

description: Sheep farming plays an important role in the economies in many countries, and is considered an important source of meat, milk, and wool for humans. Livestock are threatened by gastrointestinal parasites, especially nematode infection, which are one of the greatest causes of disease and lost productivity. Nematodes are traditionally controlled by anthelmintic compounds, but with reports of complete multi-drug resistance, other modalities of prevention and treatment are urgently needed. One of the additional methods for controlling nematode infection in domestic sheep is deliberate selection for parasite resistance. Hence, this thesis has investigated, firstly, the general distribution of faecal egg counts among and between Scottish Blackface lamb populations, which provides a better understanding of host parasite relationship. Secondly, it has identified the genetic markers that have significant association with resistance to nematode infection. This provides more through understanding of the genetic mechanism underlying nematode resistance. These results facilitate the selection of resistant animals. A longitudinal study of the mean and distribution of faecal egg counts was made in Scottish Blackface lambs following natural infection with gastrointestinal nematodes over three years at monthly intervals between August to October. This study has shown that there was no discernible pattern to faecal egg counts within each year and mean faecal egg counts in October were lower than mean faecal egg counts in September in each year, in addition faecal egg counts in male lambs were consistently higher than female lambs at 6-months of age. Mean egg counts vary among different populations and among the same population sampled at different time, and high means are not necessarily due to high intensities of infection but probably due to the contribution of species other than T. circumcincta. Older lambs showed significant association between faecal egg counts and polymorphisms in the IFN-gamma gene. Two genotypes at this microsatellite appear to be responsible for moderate and high faecal egg output, while the other genotype was associated with low faecal egg counts. Older male lambs showed significant association with the IFN-gamma loci, while female lambs did not.

description: We study bifurcations of periodic travelling waves in granular dimer chains from the anti-continuum limit, when the mass ratio between the light and heavy beads is zero. We show that every limiting periodic wave is uniquely continued with respect to the mass ratio parameter and the periodic waves with the wavelength larger than a certain critical value are spectrally stable. Numerical computations are developed to study how this solution family is continued to the limit of equal mass ratio between the beads, where periodic travelling waves of granular monomer chains exist.

description: We calculate the maximum mass of neutron stars for three different equations of state (EOS) based on generalized Skyrme functionals that are simultaneously fitted to essentially all the 2003 nuclear mass data (the rms deviation is 0.58 MeV in all three cases) and to one or other of three different equations of state of pure neutron matter, each determined by a different many-body calculation using realistic two- and three-body interactions but leading to significantly different degrees of stiffness at the high densities prevailing in neutron-star interiors. The observation of a neutron star with mass 1.97 $\pm$ 0.04 $\mathcal{M}_{\odot}$ eliminates the softest of our models (BSk19), but does not discriminate between BSk20 and BSk21. However, nuclear-mass measurements that have been made since our models were constructed strongly favor BSk21, our stiffest functional.

description: A spin filtering device using quantum spin interference is theoretically proposed in a GaAs/AlGaAs electron gas that has both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings. The device achieves polarized electron currents by separating spin up and spin down components without a magnetic field gradient. We find two broad spin filtering regimes, one where the interferometer has symmetrical arms, where a small magnetic flux is needed to achieve spin separation, and the other with asymmetric arms where the change in path length renders an extra phase emulating the effects of a magnetic field. We identify operating points for the device where optimal electron polarization is achieved within value ranges found in a 2D electron gas. Both device setups apply for arbitrary incoming electron polarization and operate at broad energy ranges within the incoming electron band.

description: Fouling biofilm development in a completely mixed tubular recycle reactor was studied. The geometry, materials and operation of the recycle circuit were designed to simulate conditions in industrial heat exchangers. The sampling system allowed direct (brightfield, epifluorescence, scanning electron and transmission electron photomicroscopy) and indirect (increased fluid frictional resistance, organic carbon, polysaccharide, adenosine triphosphate and deoxyribonucleic acid) observations of biofilms. Mixed culture biofilms were developed at two different fluid velocities. Biofilm accumulation on corrosion- resistant materials progressed in a sigmoidal fashion; biofilm accumulation on a corrosion susceptible metal was linear with time. Biofilms initially consisted of a monolayer of bacillary bacteria. Filamentous bacterial cells were invariably present in more fully developed biofilms. Fouling (increased fluid frictional resistance) always began after filamentous bacteria became a permanent part of the biofilm. Biofilms developed during low velocity runs were less dense (and had filamentous cells sooner) than biofilms developed during high velocity runs. Fouling biofilms were dynamic filamentous matrixes. Changes in the fluid frictional resistance were explained in terms of the appearance of the filamentous biofilm matrix. A technique is described that was effective in biofilm removal. The process is a practical approach to the problem of biofilm control in tubular heat exchanger systems. Rapid external cool-down of the metal tubular flow biofilm sampler (Robbins device) resulted in significant reductions in biofouling. Pure culture Pseudomonas sp. biofilm development was studied. Filamentous growth of sessile Pseudomonas sp. occurred. In liquid culture media, however, the organism grows as short bacillary rods. Accumulation of biomass by filamentous (but not bacillary) Pseudomonas sp. biofilms resulted in increased fluid frictional resistance. The biomass accumulation rate of filamentous biofilms was almost three times greater than the biomass accumulation rate of bacillary biofilms. The growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was characterized in nutrient broth batch cultures. Filamentous growth of P. aeruginosa strain MUCOID occurred because of a rapid shift-down in the log exponential growth rate. Pure culture Sphaerotilus natans biofilm development was studied. The filamentous growth of the organism caused fouling. The increase in fluid frictional resistance was directly proportional to the increase in adherent biomass. The growth of the biofilm was a linear function with time.

description: The broad-line radio galaxy 3C120 is a powerful source of both X-ray and radio emission including superluminal jet outflows. We report on our reanalysis of 160 ks of Suzaku data taken in 2006, previously examined by Kataoka et al. (2007). Spectral fits to the XIS and HXD/PIN data over a range of 0.7-45 keV reveal a well-defined iron K line complex with a narrow Ka core and relativistically broadened features consistent with emission from the inner regions of the accretion disk. Furthermore, the inner region of the disk appears to be truncated with an inner radius of r_in = 11.7^{+3.5}_{-5.2} r_g. If we assume that fluorescent iron line features terminate at the inner-most stable circular orbit (ISCO), we measure a black hole spin of a < -0.1 at a 90% confidence level. A rapidly spinning prograde black hole (a > 0.8) can be ruled out at the 99% confidence level. Alternatively, the disk may be truncated well outside of the ISCO of a rapid prograde hole. The most compelling scenario is the possibility that the inner regions of the disk were destroyed/ejected by catastrophic instabilities just prior to the time these observations were made.

description: The multi-period multinomial Probit model (MMPM) is seen as a flexible tool to explain individual choices among several alternatives over time. There are two versions of this model: a) for each individual the covariates for all alternatives are known and b) for each individual only the parameters of the alternative which was chosen is known. The main difficulty with the MMPM was the calculation of the probability for the individual sequence of chosen alternatives, which requires the computation of the integral over a high dimensional multivariate Normal density. This remedy was removed by the Smooth Recursive Conditional (SRC) simulator. Several simulation studies have investigated the stability of the MMPM estimates with special emphasis to the number of replications of the SRC routine. In contrast to these studies, which use the case of alternative specific covariates, we use the case of the individual specific covariates. We conclude that the MMPM with individual specific covariates is only weakly identified, generalizing Keane’s (1992) result for the one period case. As a consequence the maximization of the simulated likelihood often converges to a singular covariance structure so that the SRC-routine stops iterating. This feature cannot be avoided by increasing the number of replications in the SRC-routine. The percentage of these failures rapidly increases with the number of alternatives.

description: Our paper decomposes knowledge-di®using trade flows and estimates their impacts separately. Overall, trade generates positive knowledge spillovers, but the effects of intra-industry trade are ambiguous. With regard to sectoral im- port penetration, we find that potential positive spillovers are dominated by negative competition effects. This, however, masks the signifficant positive spillover effects of intra-industry trade that corresponds to international out- sourcing.

description: Glasses behave as solids on experimental time scales due to their slow relaxation. Growing dynamic length scales due to cooperative motion of particles are believed to be central to this slow response. For quiescent glasses, however, the size of the cooperatively rearranging regions has never been observed to exceed a few particle diameters, and the observation of long-range correlations that are signatures of an elastic solid has remained elusive. Here, we provide direct experimental evidence of long-range correlations during the deformation of a dense colloidal glass. By imposing an external stress, we force structural rearrangements that make the glass flow, and we identify long-range correlations in the fluctuations of microscopic strain, and elucidate their scaling and spatial symmetry. The applied shear induces a transition from homogeneous to inhomogeneous flow at a critical shear rate, and we investigate the role of strain correlations in this transition.

description: The statistical analysis of measurement data has become a key component of many quantum engineering experiments. As standard full state tomography becomes unfeasible for large dimensional quantum systems, one needs to exploit prior information and the "sparsity" properties of the experimental state in order to reduce the dimensionality of the estimation problem. In this paper we propose model selection as a general principle for finding the simplest, or most parsimonious explanation of the data, by fitting different models and choosing the estimator with the best trade-off between likelihood fit and model complexity. We apply two well established model selection methods -- the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) -- to models consising of states of fixed rank and datasets such as are currently produced in multiple ions experiments. We test the performance of AIC and BIC on randomly chosen low rank states of 4 ions, and study the dependence of the selected rank with the number of measurement repetitions for one ion states. We then apply the methods to real data from a 4 ions experiment aimed at creating a Smolin state of rank 4. The two methods indicate that the optimal model for describing the data lies between ranks 6 and 9, and the Pearson $χ^{2}$ test is applied to validate this conclusion. Additionally we find that the mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimator for pure states is close to that of the optimal over all possible measurements.

description: We study inter-temporal changes in poverty for Germany from year 1978 to 2003, and we employ the bootstrap method to test for statistical significance of results. All results are decomposed by household type and region. Poverty estimates are particularly high for single parents. Most striking, however, is the poverty divide between the old and newly-formed German Federal States, with poverty being significantly higher in the latter. We conduct a nonlinear Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition to quantify the separate contribution of regional differences in households’ characteristics to the probability of being poor.

description: As global interconnectedness increases, the value of acquiring a new language becomes more apparent. Whether for professional or personal reasons, the ability to communicate globally offers numerous advantages. Nowadays, the general aspiration of most higher education students is to employ efficient learning techniques for quick language acquisition and fluency. Therefore, English instructors in higher education are expected to be innovative, adaptable, and to identify the most appropriate methods tailored to each group or individual student. This article encompasses various contemporary approaches to teaching the English language.
Reionization in the Warm Dark Matter Model

description: Compared with the cold dark matter (CDM) model, in the warm dark matter (WDM) model formation of small scale structure is suppressed. It is often thought that this would delay the reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM), as the star formation rate during the epoch of reionization (EOR) would be lowered. However, during the later stage of the EOR, a large portion of the ionizing photons are consumed by recombination inside the minihalos, where the gas has higher density and recombination rates than the gas in the IGM. The suppression of small scale structure would therefore reduce the recombination rate, and could potentially shorten the reionization process. This effect is investigated here by using the analytical "bubble model" of reionization. We find that in some cases, though the initiation of the EOR is delayed in the WDM model, its completion could be even earlier than the CDM case, but the effect is generally small. We obtain limits on the WDM particles mass for different reionization redshifts.

description: In an equity market model with "Knightian" uncertainty regarding the relative risk and covariance structure of its assets, we characterize in several ways the highest return relative to the market that can be achieved using nonanticipative investment rules over a given time horizon, and under any admissible configuration of model parameters that might materialize. One characterization is in terms of the smallest positive supersolution to a fully nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation of the Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman type. Under appropriate conditions, this smallest supersolution is the value function of an associated stochastic control problem, namely, the maximal probability with which an auxiliary multidimensional diffusion process, controlled in a manner which affects both its drift and covariance structures, stays in the interior of the positive orthant through the end of the time-horizon. This value function is also characterized in terms of a stochastic game, and can be used to generate an investment rule that realizes such best possible outperformance of the market.

description: The current global financial “non-system” is marked by instability. In the absence of global solutions, a series of regional arrangements of monetary cooperation have been emerging to cope with such instability. The paper focuses on regional payment systems as an initial step of regional monetary cooperation. In order to evaluate their potential contribution to increase macroeconomic stability of the member countries, we develop a typology of payments systems and systematically compare historic and present initiatives in Europe, Asia and Latin America with reference to the original Keynes Plan. We show that regional payment systems entail beneficial effects by reducing transaction costs of intraregional trade, and by creating incentives for further macroeconomic cooperation. Their contribution to macroeconomic stabilization however depends on the specific design of the respective regional arrangement.
