description: Excerpts from the report: Since the start of commercial vacuum cooling of lettuce, research workers and shippers of fresh produce have been interested in using this method to precool other crops. Early investigation showed temperature reduction by vacuum varied greatly among different kinds of crops. Little information is available for a direct comparison of temperatures obtained by vacuum cooling different vegetables. In this study, several vegetables were vacuum cooled under similar conditions to determine the amount of cooling and moisture loss. The effects of cooling time, pre-wetting, and packaging on the final temperature of many of these commodities also were studied. This research is part of a broad program of the Agricultural Marketing Service for preserving high quality in fresh vegetables during marketing.

description: The initial conditions of massive star and star cluster formation are expected to be cold, dense and high column density regions of the interstellar medium, which can reveal themselves via near, mid and even far-infrared absorption as Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs). Elucidating the dynamical state of IRDCs thus constrains theoretical models of these complex processes. In particular, it is important to assess whether IRDCs have reached virial equilibrium, where the internal pressure balances that due to the self-gravitating weight of the cloud plus the pressure of the external environmental. We study this question for the filamentary IRDC G035.39-00.33 by deriving mass from combined NIR & MIR extinction maps and velocity dispersion from C18O (1-0) & (2-1) line emission. In contrast to our previous moderately super-virial results based on 13CO emission and MIR-only extinction mapping, with improved mass measurements we now find that the filament is consistent with being in virial equilibrium, at least in its central parsec-wide region where ~1000 M_Sun snakes along several parsecs. This equilibrium state does not require large-scale net support or confinement by magnetic fields.

description: The energy conditions are derived in the context of $f(R,T)$ gravity, where $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $T$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, which can reduce to the well-known conditions in $f(R)$ gravity and general relativity. We present the general inequalities set by the energy conditions in terms of Hubble, deceleration, jerk and snap parameters. In this study, we concentrate on two particular models of $f(R,T)$ gravity namely, $f(R)+λ{T}$ and $R+2f(T)$. The exact power-law solutions are obtained for these two cases in homogeneous and isotropic $f(R,T)$ cosmology. Finally, we find certain constraints which have to be satisfied to ensure that power law solutions may be stable and match the bounds prescribed by the energy conditions.

retained surgical sponge

description: Retained sponge or any surgical device following an intra-abdominal surgery is known as Gossypioma, and it is one of the most common medico-legal issues. Clinical symptoms related to intra-abdominal Gossypioma may vary from mild abdominal pain to major complications including bowel or visceral perforation, obstruction. The illness can appear in a variety of ways, from asymptomatic to serious gastrointestinal consequences such as vomiting, abdominal pain, obstruction, perforation, peritonitis, and even death. Gossypioma transmural migration is a very rare occurrence that might result in bowel or visceral perforation, obstruction, or fistula formation. The stomach, ileum, colon, bladder, vagina, and diaphragm have all been reported to have transmural migration of an intra-abdominal Gossypioma. Only a few cases have been reported in the medical literature. We do, however, disclose the first case of the world's largest Gossypioma, a surgical mop measuring 26 x 23 cm that was successfully removed endoscopically. A 60-year-old man had an open cholecystectomy six months ago for symptomatic gall stones. After two weeks of operation intervention, he became symptomatic, complaining of abdominal pain and recurrent vomiting. A lump in the distal section of the stomach and duodenum was discovered on a barium swallow and an abdominal ultra ultrasonography, raising suspicion of gastric carcinoma. On upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy, a surgical mop that had totally migrated into the stomach and duodenum was seen. The surgical mop was successfully removed by endoscopy through the esophagus. The recovery of the patient was uneventful. Any surgical patient with unexplained chronic abdominal discomfort and vomiting should have transmural Gossypioma migration into the stomach investigated in the differential diagnosis. Endoscopy can be used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In cases of endoscopic failure or incomplete migration of Gossypioma into the stomach, surgery may be recommended.

description: Although random tensor models were introduced twenty years ago, it is only in 2011 that Gurau proved the existence of a 1/N expansion. Here we show that there actually is more than a single 1/N expansion, depending on the dimension. These new expansions can be used to define tensor models for `rectangular' tensors (whose indices have different sizes). In the large N limit, they retain more than the melonic graphs. Still, in most cases, the large N limit is found to be Gaussian, and therefore extends the scope of the universality theorem for large random tensors. Nevertheless, a scaling which leads to non-Gaussian large N limits, in even dimensions, is identified for the first time.

description: Excerpt from the report: Blueberries were among the first fruits packaged in consumer units with transparent film caps. Blueberries have delicate skin and bloom, and are highly perishable. They need care and protection to maintain their quality during storage and marketing. The present tests were conducted with blueberries grown near Burgaw, N. C, Salisbury, Md., and Hammondton, N.J. They were conducted at the growing areas and in laboratories at Raleigh, N.C, and Beltsville, Md. The purpose was to determine the storage and shelf life of commercially and experimentally handled and packaged blueberries and to devise ways of extending the storage and shelf life.

description: Artimpaza brevilineata Tian & Chen, sp. nov. (Figs 1–9)
 Description. Female: Head and prothorax pitchy black; antennal segments 1 to 5 pitchy black and remainder dull pitchy brown to slightly reddish; scutellum black; each elytron blackish green with a fairly broad median, semitransparent, longitudinal strip; posterior thorax and abdomen pitchy black; legs black, femora clavate. Body moderately clothed with long erect pale hairs; underside of basal six antennal segments with somewhat shorter darker setae (Figs 4–8); scutellum and parts of thoracic pleura and half of metaepisternum with dense silvery pubescence (Fig. 9).
Head as wide as prothorax, moderately punctured and with one longitudinal groove extending onto frons (Fig. 2); gena nearly 1/2 as deep as lower eye-lobe. Antenna almost reaching to elytral apex; scape swollen preapically, moderately punctured (Fig. 3); segment 3 longer than scape + segment 2, and twice as long as segment 4; segment 4 as long as scape but shorter than segment 5; segment 11 as long as segment 10. Prothorax more than 1.5 times as long as wide, subcylindrical apically, somewhat constricted near base, feebly widened at side, widest just behind middle; disc with a slight swelling on each side near base, and with anterior portion largely smooth with sparse punctures. Each elytron about 7 times longer than wide, gradually narrowed behind humerus, disc fairly even, with very sparse punctures; elytra flattened above, narrowed and somewhat dehiscent posteriorly, each elytron spined at apex. Ventral surface with only a few punctures. Femora pedunculate, strongly clavate; hind femora extended to elytral apex; hind tarsal segment 1 distinctly longer than 2+3.
 Measurements. Holotype, female. Body length 11.1 mm; width 2.0 mm; paratype, female. Body length 12 mm; width 2.4 mm.
 Specimens examined. Holotype, female, China: Yunnan Province, Jinghong, 25 May 2010, coll. LI-CHAO TIAN. Paratype: 1 female, China: Yunnan Province, Lincang, 1 June 1980, coll. FEN LIU. The holotype and the paratype are housed in the collection of the College of Plant Protection, Southwest University, Chongqing, China (SWU).
 Remarks. Ordinarily, we would hesitate to describe a new species based on one sex. However, given the robust morphological difference within the same sex there can be no doubt that A. brevilineata is a distinct species. The new species is similar to A. curtelineata Pic, 1922, but differs mainly by each elytron being blackish green with a distinct median semitransparent strip.
 Etymology. The species is named for the semitransparent strip on each elytron.

description: The following file is the final 3D model (in FreeCAD Version 0.18) of a novel calculator design published in The Journal of Open Engineering / Luis Teia 2021 -->> https://www.tjoe.org/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT
Next generation calculators need to be efficient in all its design aspects. Current advanced computation calculators lack an efficient human-machine interface, with its unchanged traditional design traced back to the early 1960’s electro-mechanical commercialized solutions. The present article highlights how the perceived safety of “designing by tradition” can actually prevent evolution, and proposes - in a logical and argumentative way - a new layout based on the circular group approach, which derives from various already successful and working systems operating in society. Numerical comparison of the time spent in computing between the classical matrix calculator layout and the new circular group approach have shown that substantial time-saving can be achieved, in addition to the calculation acceleration effect imparted by aligning the highly organized calculator design with the intuitive nature of the mind of the user. Ultimately, the importance of such an advancement is appreciated when considering the compounding time-saving effect on the millions of users that will spend hours operating calculators in the years to come.

description: We present new orbital measurements of the pre-main sequence triple system, V807 Tau, using adaptive optics imaging at the Keck Observatory. We computed an orbit for the close pair, V807 Tau Ba-Bb, with a period of 12.312 +/- 0.058 years and a semi-major axis of 38.59 +/- 0.16 mas. By modeling the center of mass motion of the components in the close pair relative to the wide component, V807 Tau A, we measured a mass ratio of 0.843 +/- 0.050 for Bb/Ba. Combined with the total mass from the relative orbit, we derived individual masses of M_Ba = 0.564 +/- 0.018 (d/140 pc)^3 Msun and M_Bb = 0.476 +/- 0.017 (d/140 pc)^3 Msun at an average distance of 140 pc to the Taurus star forming region. We computed spectral energy distributions to determine the luminosities of the three components. We also measured their spectral types, effective temperatures, and rotational velocities based on spatially resolved spectra obtained at the Keck Observatory. If the rotational axes are aligned, then the projected rotational velocities imply that V807 Tau Ba and Bb are rotating much faster than V807 Tau A. The uncertainty in the stellar effective temperatures and distance to the system currently limit the comparison of our dynamical mass measurements with predictions based on evolutionary tracks for pre-main sequence stars. We also report preliminary results from a program to map the 3.6 cm radio emission from V807 Tau using the Very Long Baseline Array. With continued monitoring, these observations will provide a precise parallax for placing the dynamical masses on an absolute scale.

description: Excerpts from the report: Several precooling methods and types of containers were studied to determine their effects on the market quality of artichoke buds after simulated transit and marketing periods. Commercial handling practice was simulated by holding the packed artichokes 48 hours before they were placed in a cold room. The market quality of these buds was compared with that of buds that were room-precooled or hydrocooled on the day of harvest. The effectiveness of a fungicide, dehydroacetic acid (DHA), for control of grey mold was tested in conjunction with hydrocooling. The rate of heat removal from artichokes during hydrocooling was investigated in relation to the following factors: Size of the buds, arrangement of the buds in the containers, number of layers of buds, method of stacking the crates, rate of water flow, and addition of a wetting agent to the cooling water

description: Introduction: Sepsis is remains a prominent source of morbidity and mortality, despite advances in diagnostic methods. It's still hard to differentiate between sepsis and non-infectious disease conditions. The procalcitonin (PCT) test is beneficial for diagnosing sepsis, however the cut-off levels vary depending on the clinical context. The goal of this study was to determine the appropriate cut-off values for PCT with high sensitivity and specificity by correlating serum PCT levels with cultures. Methodology: This prospective study comprised 305 patients from various hospital wards; the patients were classified into group I: controls (n = 46), group II: Culture-negative sepsis (n = 76) and group III: Culture-positive sepsis (n = 196). Mean p value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: In comparison to group I, PCT levels were significantly higher in groups II and III. In group II, the best cut-off point for PCT was 1.3 ng/ml with 87.30% sensitivity and 78.26% specificity (area under curve 0.86). In group III, the best cut-off value of 2.20 ng/ml with 98.47% sensitivity and 89.13% specificity was found (AUC 0.96). Conclusion: Procalcitonin is a promising biomarker for bacterial sepsis diagnosis since it can differentiate culture-negative and culture-positive sepsis from non-infectious diseases.

description: We analyze the asymptotic performance of nonbinary spatially-coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes built on the general linear group, when the transmission takes place over the binary erasure channel. We propose an efficient method to derive an upper bound to the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) threshold for nonbinary LDPC codes, and observe that the MAP performance of regular LDPC codes improves with the alphabet size. We then consider nonbinary SC-LDPC codes. We show that the same threshold saturation effect experienced by binary SC-LDPC codes occurs for the nonbinary codes, hence we conjecture that the BP threshold for large termination length approaches the MAP threshold of the underlying regular ensemble.

Metal enrichment by radiation pressure in active galactic nucleus outflows -- theory and observations

description: Outflows from active galactic nuclei may be produced by absorption of continuum radiation by UV resonance lines of abundant metal ions, as observed in broad absorption line quasars (BALQs). The radiation pressure exerted on the metal ions is coupled to the rest of the gas through Coulomb collisions of the metal ions. We calculate the photon density and gas density which allow decoupling of the metal ions from the rest of the gas. These conditions may lead to an outflow composed mostly of the metal ions. We derive a method to constrain the metals/H ratio of observed UV outflows, based on the Ly α and Si iv λλ1394, 1403 absorption profiles. We apply this method to an SDSS sample of BALQs to derive a handful of candidate outflows with a higher than solar metal/H ratio. This mechanism can produce ultra fast UV outflows, if a shield of the continuum source with a strong absorption edge is present.

description: Traditional hierarchical classification systems were designed to optimize the management, findability and use of physical collections of objects. But as more and more collections of objects are being accessed and used on the Web, these predominant classification models have been modified by facetted taxonomies with semantic relationships. The diverse uses of information require specialized classification strategies that reach beyond simple use cases. The ubiquity of web search engines and hypertext is also leading to new interest in labelling and describing named entities. This paper discusses these developments and provides examples for their utility in a variety of organizations, profit and non-profit.
Applications of Integrated Photonic Spectrographs in Astronomy

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)

description: One of the problems of producing instruments for Extremely Large Telescopes is that their size (and hence cost) scales rapidly with telescope aperture. To try to break this relation alternative new technologies have been proposed, such as the use of the Integrated Photonic Spectrograph (IPS). Due to their diffraction-limited nature the IPS is claimed to defeat the harsh scaling law applying to conventional instruments. In contrast to photonic applications, devices for astronomy are not usually used at the diffraction limit. Therefore to retain throughput and spatial information, the IPS requires a photonic lantern (PL) to decompose the input multimode light into single modes. This is then fed into either numerous Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWGs) or a conventional spectrograph. We investigate the potential advantage of using an IPS instead of conventional monolithic optics for a variety of capabilities represented by existing instruments and others planned for Extremely Large Telescopes. We show that a full IPS instrument is equivalent to an image-slicer. However, the requirement to decompose the input light into individual modes imposes a redundancy in terms of the numbers of components and detector pixels in many cases which acts to cancel out the advantage of the small size of the photonic components. However, there are specific applications where an IPS gives a potential advantage which we describe. Furthermore, the IPS approach has the potential advantage of minimising or eliminating bulk optics. We show that AWGs fed with multiple single-mode inputs from a PL require relatively bulky auxiliary optics and a 2-D detector array. A more attractive option is to combine the outputs of many AWGs so that a 1-D detector can be used to greatly reduce the number of detector pixels required and provide efficient adaptation to the curved output focal surface.

description: Excerpts from the report: Prepackaging of lettuce in heat-shrinkable films at shipping points has recently created considerable interest among lettuce shippers and marketing agencies. To date, only a small number of shippers are marketing prepackaged lettuce, almost all of it in heat-shrinkable film. Some shippers are skeptical of this practice. Others are reluctant to invest in the packaging machinery and equipment required for a large-volume operation. In recent months, shrink-film-wrapped lettuce with discoloration of leaf margins, that resembled tipburn, has been observed occasionally in New York City retail stores. Federal and private produce inspectors have found similar leaf damage in a few New York deliveries of prepackaged lettuce during the past year. Wilting and discoloration of the outer leaves in shrink-film-wrapped lettuce have been reported in a survey of several terminal markets. The possibility of heat damage was mentioned in that report, but it was apparently discounted. Because high temperatures are required to shrink the film overwrap now used commercially, tests were conducted to determine if heat-tunnel temperatures affected lettuce quality. The study on which this report is based was undertaken as part of the Agricultural Marketing Service's research program to maintain the quality of farm products in marketing channels.
Parents’ Perspectives of Birth Trauma During COVID-19

Subjects: Birth Trauma
COVID-19

description: Aim: The COVID-19 pandemic, and related restrictions in maternity settings, elevated the risk factors for traumatic birth experiences. Indeed, quantitative research has found higher levels of acute stress responses following birth during the pandemic. The present research aimed to qualitatively examine and describe traumatic birth experiences during the pandemic from the perspective of birthing people. The study sought to understand the contributing factors, impacts, support birthing people received and service improvements that could be made. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with fifteen participants who self-identified as having experienced a traumatic birth during the COVID-19 pandemic in NHS maternity services (March 2020 – August 2021). Recruitment was supported by a charity and through snowballing techniques. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the data and interpret the findings. Results: The analysis resulted in the development of three themes. The first theme, ‘Vulnerability and Disempowerment’, spoke to participants’ lack of control over their experiences, dehumanising treatment during labour, and being alone with a lack of an advocate. The second, ‘Emotional Magnitude and Lasting Impacts’, referred to the significant emotional toll of participants’ experiences, and the impact on their key relationships and trust in the wider healthcare system. The final theme, ‘Isolation and Loss’, described participants’ feelings of isolation and loss of experiences, due to the pandemic. Conclusions: Overall, participants spoke to experiences during pregnancy, labour and postpartum that contributed to childbirth trauma during the pandemic. Factors that exacerbated experiences of distress, and the wide-ranging and extensive impact of their experiences, were also reported. Service recommendations included a need for greater support, more compassionate care, and a move towards a trauma-informed framework in care delivery within maternity services. Birth-reflections and adequate, timely emotional support were suggested as factors to help mitigate experiences of distress. Implications for prevention policy and future research have also been presented.

description: Parity violating (PV) effects in neutron-deuteron radiative capture are studied using Desplanques, Donoghue, and Holstein (DDH) and effective field theory weak potentials. The values of PV effects are calculated using wave functions, obtained by solving three-body Faddeev equations in configuration space for phenomenological strong potentials. The relations between physical observables and low-energy constants are presented, and dependencies of the calculated PV effects on strong and weak potentials are discussed. The presented analysis shows the possible reason for the existing discrepancy in PV nuclear data analysis using the DDH approach and reveals a new opportunity to study short range interactions in nuclei.

Political afterlives of Mexico's dead and disappeared

political afterlives

description: This PhD thesis is a study of Mexican activism that aims to show how relatives of Mexico’s disappeared—often without earlier experience of human rights advocacy—become activists protesting violence through public displays of grief. Political street protests transform over time to become annual commemorative events at new memorial sites for the disappeared who, as neither truly dead nor alive, are in need of special rites and cannot be incorporated in the Day of the Dead celebration with its satirical political altars. Mexico’s material culture and new activist strategies sustain political afterlives of the nation’s more than 200,000 dead and at least 37,000 disappeared victims of state and criminal violence, which, in turn, cast light on how Mexico’s necropolitics cause new challenges for and responses from its necrosociality.

description: Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, a pan global health problem, has already effected one-third of the world population. India harbours around 40 million HBV carriers, thus accounting for 10–15% share of total pool of HBV carriers of the world. Every year over 100,000 Indians die due to illnesses related to HBV infection Aims and Objectives: To study the Epidemiological profile and Clinical spectrum of patients with Hepatitis B virus infection. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was done at Department of Medical Gastroenterology, PGIMS,Rohtak over a period of ten years i.e. 01.09.2010 to 31.08.2020, on HbsAg positive patients who reported on outdoor patient department or were admitted in various wards of hospital. Conclusion: Hepatitis B is having certain hotspots in India like Haryana. The young males with rural background are most vulnerable because of unsafe needle & injection practices due to non-availability of proper health care facilities.

description: Excerpts from the report: Hydrocooling, the removal of field heat from fruits and vegetables by cold water, was used for vegetables in Florida in about 1923, and was introduced into California in about 1933. Although hydrocooling has been used for many years, much of the technical information available about the rate of cooling applies primarily to cooling that can be expected under only one or two specific sets of conditions of initial commodity temperature, water temperature, and duration of cooling. Information is limited on the amount of cooling that can be expected for specific commodities hydrocooled under various conditions of initial commodity temperature, water temperature, and exposure time. The primary purpose of this paper is to provide information that will permit accurate predictions of final commodity temperatures when produce having various initial temperatures is hydrocooled in water of various temperatures for various lengths of time and under various exposures, and to present this information so that it will be easy to use. Data are presented for globe artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloups, carrots, cauliflower, celery, sweet corn, peas, potatoes, radishes, and tomatoes.

description: Manganese doped sodium zinc phosphate phosphor with exceptional features having ultra-violet (UV) to visible absorption (300-470 nm), yellow-green (~543 nm) broad-band photoluminescence (PL) and appreciable color co-ordinates (x=0.39, y=0.58) is reported. It has a crystal structure consists of discrete PO4 tetrahedra linked by ZnO4 and NaO4 distorted tetrahedral such that three tetrahedra, one of each kind, share one corner. The presence of UV sensitive Zn-O-Zn bonds efficient energy transfer to Mn2+ ions resulted in brightest PL and external quantum yield of 63% at 418 nm. Our experiment demonstrated the possibility of producing inexpensive white-light emitting devices for future.

description: We introduce a generalized Hamiltonian Mean Field Model (gHMF)-XY model with both linear and quadratic coupling between spins and explicit Hamiltonian dynamics. In addition to the usual paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases, this model also possesses a nematic phase. The gHMF can be solved explicitly using Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics, in both canonical and microcanonical ensembles. However, when the resulting microcanonical phase diagram is compared with the one obtained using molecular dynamics simulations, it is found that the two are very different. We will present a dynamical theory which allows us to explicitly calculate the phase diagram obtained using molecular dynamics simulations without any adjustable parameters. The model illustrates the fundamental role played by dynamics as well the inadequacy of BG statistics for systems with long-range forces in the thermodynamic limit.

description: We investigate the evolution of primordial black hole mass spectrum by including both accretion of radiation and Hawking evaporation within Brans-Dicke cosmology in radiation, matter and vacuum-dominated eras. We also consider the effect of evaporation of primordial black holes on the expansion dynamics of the universe. The analytic solutions describing the energy density of the black holes in equilibrium with radiation are presented. We demonstrate that these solutions act as attractors for the system ensuring stability for both linear and nonlinear situations. We show, however, that inclusion of accretion of radiation delays the onset of this equilibrium in all radiation, matter and vacuum-dominated eras.

Proton Polarizability Contribution: Muonic Hydrogen Lamb Shift and Elastic Scattering

description: The uncertainty in the contribution to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen, $ΔE^{subt}$ arising from proton polarizability effects in the two-photon exchange diagram at large virtual photon momenta is shown large enough to account for the proton radius puzzle. This is because $ΔE^{subt}$ is determined by an integrand that falls very slowly with very large virtual photon momenta. We evaluate the necessary integral using a set of chosen form factors and also a dimensional regularization procedure which makes explicit the need for a low energy constant. The consequences of our two-photon exchange interaction for low-energy elastic lepton-proton scattering are evaluated and could be observable in a planned low energy lepton-proton scattering experiment planned to run at PSI.

description: We study the motion of an undamped single-ion harmonic oscillator, resonantly driven with a pulsed radiation pressure force. We demonstrate that a barium ion, initially cooled to the Doppler limit, quickly phase locks to the drive and builds up coherent oscillations above the thermal distribution after scattering of order one hundred photons. In our experiment, this seeded motion is subsequently amplified and then analyzed by Doppler velocimetry. Since the coherent oscillation is conditional upon the internal quantum state of the ion, this motional excitation technique could be useful in atomic or molecular single-ion spectroscopy experiments, providing a simple protocol for state readout of non-fluorescing ions with partially closed-cycle transitions.
