description: We have obtained Hubble Space Telescope STIS and NICMOS, and Gemini/GPI scattered light images of the HD 191089 debris disk. We identify two spatial components: a ring resembling Kuiper Belt in radial extent (FWHM: ${\sim}$25 au, centered at ${\sim}$46 au), and a halo extending to ${\sim}$640 au. We find that the halo is significantly bluer than the ring, consistent with the scenario that the ring serves as the "birth ring" for the smaller dust in the halo. We measure the scattering phase functions in the 30°-150° scattering angle range and find the halo dust is both more forward- and backward-scattering than the ring dust. We measure a surface density power law index of -0.68${\pm}$0.04 for the halo, which indicates the slow-down of the radial outward motion of the dust. Using radiative transfer modeling, we attempt to simultaneously reproduce the (visible) total and (near-infrared) polarized intensity images of the birth ring. Our modeling leads to mutually inconsistent results, indicating that more complex models, such as the inclusion of more realistic aggregate particles, are needed.

description: American economic problems consist of both short-term, or cyclical problems and long-term, structural problems. The supply-side policies of the 1980s have exacerbated our structural problems and severely constrained opportunities to use fiscal policy to get out of recession. Both cyclical and structural problems need to be confronted. Priority should be given to a dramatic increase in federal spending on physical and social infrastructure, targeted in such a way that pressure on state and local government is relieved. Then, as the economy improves, federal taxes should be increased in order to reduce the structural federal budget deficit.

Neutrinos and Nucleosynthesis in Gamma-Ray Burst Accretion Disks

description: We calculate the nuclear composition of matter in accretion disks surrounding stellar mass black holes as are thought to accompany gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We follow a mass element in the accretion disk starting at the point of nuclear dissociation and calculate the evolution of the electron fraction due to electron, positron, electron neutrino and electron antineutrino captures. We find that the neutronization of the disk material by electron capture can be reversed by neutrino interactions in the inner regions of disks with accretion rates of 1 M_solar/s and higher. For these cases the inner disk regions are optically thick to neutrinos, and so to estimate the emitted neutrino fluxes we find the surface of last scattering for the neutrinos (the equivalent of the proto-neutron star neutrinosphere) for each optically thick disk model. We also estimate the influence of neutrino interactions on the neutron-to-proton ratio in outflows from GRB accretion disks, and find it can be significant even when the disk is optically thin to neutrinos.

description: The process of decolonization that occurred after the end of the Second World War had as one of its main consequences the emergence of numerous independent States. These nascent countries tended to adopt the appearance of the Western State in the Weberian way. However, the convergence between precolonial, colonial and liberal structures resulted in the emergence of problems of institutional legitimacy and governance. Precisely under this controversy, the concept of hybridization is raised. This analytical instrument seeks a greater conceptual and practical openness to understand mechanisms that operate within the framework of these processes and that the traditional Weberian analysis for state design would not take into account. This is why, at present, the concept applies both to postcolonial societies and to those that go through violent conflicts, after which there are attempts to build political institutions. In this sense, we will make a review here of that literature that deals with the concept of hybridization in relation to the construction or state design. In addition, we will offer a synthesis of alternative analytical frameworks to that of hybridization. The conclusions of the work show the possibilities and limits of the use of the concept, as wellas some proposals for future work.

description: The Helmholtz equation for symmetric, traceless, second-rank tensor fields in three-dimensional flat space is solved in spherical and cylindrical coordinates by separation of variables making use of the corresponding spin-weighted harmonics. It is shown that any symmetric, traceless, divergenceless second-rank tensor field that satisfies the Helmholtz equation can be expressed in terms of two scalar potentials that satisfy the Helmholtz equation. Two such expressions are given, which are adapted to the spherical or cylindrical coordinates. The application to the linearized Einstein theory is discussed.

description: These lectures are intended to provide an introduction to heavy meson decays and CP violation. The first lecture contains a brief review of the standard model and how the CKM matrix and CP violation arise, mixing and CP violation in neutral meson systems, and explanation of the cleanliness of the sin(2beta) measurement. The second lecture deals with the heavy quark limit, some applications of heavy quark symmetry and the operator product expansion for exclusive and inclusive semileptonic B decays. The third lecture concerns with theoretically clean CP violation measurements that may become possible in the future, and some developments toward a better understanding of nonleptonic B decays. The conclusions include a subjective best buy list for the near future.

description: Decision-making is a process of choosing among alternative courses of action for solving complicated problems where multi-criteria objectives are involved. The past few years have witnessed a growing recognition of Soft Computing (SC) technologies that underlie the conception, design and utilization of intelligent systems. In this paper, we present different SC paradigms involving an artificial neural network trained using the scaled conjugate gradient algorithm, two different fuzzy inference methods optimised using neural network learning/evolutionary algorithms and regression trees for developing intelligent decision support systems. We demonstrate the efficiency of the different algorithms by developing a decision support system for a Tactical Air Combat Environment (TACE). Some empirical comparisons between the different algorithms are also provided.
title: Fibrosis: a role for Vitamin D
Creators: name: Monti, Noemi
Publisher: name: Organisms. Journal of Biological Sciences
Year: 2020

description: Chronic inflammation leads to fibrosis and eventually organ failure. Fibrosis is defined as a wound-healing response that has gone awry. It is featured by excessive production, deposition, and accumulation of extracellular matrix components. The key mediator cells of fibrotic disorders are the myofibroblasts, derived from different precursor cells. Myofibroblasts are responsible of stiff ECM, a hallmark of fibrosis. It is mandatory understanding the molecular pathways contributing to develop the fibrotic tissue to discovery anti-fibrotic therapies. Vitamin D, the precursor of seco-steroid hormone, appears to have anti-fibrotic properties. Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to development of different fibrotic disorders in several organs. It counteracts the pro-fibrotic signals, such as TGF-β1, through several biochemical mechanisms. Counteracting TGF-β1, Vitamin D inhibits myofibroblasts activation and ECM deposition.

description: We consider the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) bounds on light dark matter whose cross section off nucleons is sufficiently large to enable acceleration by scattering off of cosmic rays in the local galaxy. Such accelerated DM could then deposit energy in terrestrial detectors. Since this signal involves DM of mass ~ keV - 100 MeV and requires large cross sections > 10^-31 cm^2 in a relativistic kinematic regime, we find that the DM population in this scenario is generically equilibrated with Standard Model particles in the early universe. For sufficiently low DM masses < 10 MeV, corresponding to the bulk of the favored region of many cosmic-ray upscattering studies, this equilibrated DM population adds an additional component to the relativistic energy density around T ~ few MeV and thereby spoils the successful predictions of BBN. In the remaining ~ 10-100 MeV mass range, the large couplings required in this scenario are either currently excluded or within reach of current or future accelerator-based searches.

description: We present near-infrared J and K-band spectra of the z = 6.4 quasar SDSS J114816.64+525150.3 obtained with the NIRSPEC spectrograph at the Keck-II telescope, covering the rest-frame spectral regions surrounding the C IV 1549 and Mg II 2800 emission lines. The iron emission blend at rest wavelength 2900-3000 A is clearly detected and its strength appears nearly indistinguishable from that of typical quasars at lower redshifts. The Fe II / Mg II ratio is also similar to values found for lower-redshift quasars, demonstrating that there is no strong evolution in Fe/alpha broad-line emission ratios even out to z=6.4. In the context of current models for iron enrichment from Type Ia supernovae, this implies that the SN Ia progenitor stars formed at z > 10. We apply the scaling relations of Vestergaard and of McLure & Jarvis to estimate the black hole mass from the widths of the C IV and Mg II emission lines and the ultraviolet continuum luminosity. The derived mass is in the range (2-6)x10^9 solar masses, with an additional uncertainty of a factor of 3 due to the intrinsic scatter in the scaling relations. This result is in agreement with the previous mass estimate of 3x10^9 solar masses by Willott, McLure, & Jarvis, and supports their conclusion that the quasar is radiating close to its Eddington luminosity.

description: We show in this paper that the observation of the angular distribution of upward-going muons and cascade events induced by atmospheric neutrinos at the TeV energy scale, which can be performed by a kilometer-scale neutrino telescope, such as the IceCube detector, can be used to probe a large neutrino mass splitting, $| Δm^2 | \sim (0.5-2.0)$ eV$^2$, implied by the LSND experiment and discriminate among four neutrino mass schemes. This is due to the fact that such a large mass scale can promote non negligible muon neutrino to electron/tau neutrino (and/or anti-muon neutrino to anti-electron/anti-tau neutrino) conversions at these energies by the MSW effect as well as vacuum oscillation, unlike what is expected if all the neutrino mass splittings are small.

description: La réalisation du simulateur a été motivée par la perspective de son utilisation à des fins sportives. L'objectif est de disposer d'un outil d'analyse tactique et stratégique afin d'apporter des réponses quantifiées aux questions des coureurs. La dernière partie de cet article présente un exemple du type de réponse que peut apporter le simulateur pour l'évaluation de scenarii tactiques. Pour que ces réponses soient pertinentes, il faut que le simulateur soit validé par des essais en navigation accompagnés de la mesure du vent sur le plan d'eau. Ces validations ont commencé et nous exposerons nos premières expériences dans ce domaine. Une première campagne de mesure a eu lieu lors d'une compétition de match racing. Une deuxième campagne a été réalisée sur un seul bateau avec une chaîne de mesures plus complète fournissant une position plus précise, l'attitude du bateau et l'angle de barre. Cette campagne comportait des essais de manœuvrabilité (sans voiles) en vue d'une validation partielle du simulateur et des essais sous voiles pour une validation globale

description: We present results from a numerical study of critical gravitational collapse of axisymmetric distributions of massless scalar field energy. We find threshold behavior that can be described by the spherically symmetric critical solution with axisymmetric perturbations. However, we see indications of a growing, non-spherical mode about the spherically symmetric critical solution. The effect of this instability is that the small asymmetry present in what would otherwise be a spherically symmetric self-similar solution grows. This growth continues until a bifurcation occurs and two distinct regions form on the axis, each resembling the spherically symmetric self-similar solution. The existence of a non-spherical unstable mode is in conflict with previous perturbative results, and we therefore discuss whether such a mode exists in the continuum limit, or whether we are instead seeing a marginally stable mode that is rendered unstable by numerical approximation.

description: Aim: To assess the cost-effectiveness of nivolumab monotherapy for recurrent/metastatic (R/M) squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in the US. Methods: We constructed a cohort-based partitioned survival model for three health states (progression-free, progressed disease, and death). Using overall survival and progression-free survival data from the nivolumab and investigator’s choice (IC) arms of the CheckMate 141 study, the proportion of patients in each health state was estimated by parametric modeling over a 25-year period. Cost, utility, adverse event, and disease management data inputs were obtained from relevant literature and applied to patients in each health state. A scenario analysis was conducted assuming increased uptake of subsequent immunotherapies. A one-way deterministic sensitivity analysis assessed the impact of variation in multiple parameters. A probabilistic sensitivity analysis in which probabilistic distributions were applied to each input during 1,000 model iterations was also conducted. Results: Total costs incurred were higher with nivolumab ($101,552) than with IC ($38,067). Nivolumab was associated with a higher number of life-years (LY; 1.21) and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs; 0.89), compared with IC (0.68 and 0.42, respectively). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for nivolumab compared with IC was $134,438 per QALY, and this remained qualitatively similar when increased uptake of subsequent immunotherapies was assumed ($129,603 per QALY). Sensitivity analyses supported these findings. Conclusions: These results suggest that, at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $150,000 per QALY, nivolumab is a cost-effective option for therapy of SCCHN in the US.

The observations were recorded simultaneously using a triangle of three long baselines of 30m, 37m, and 64m, on 19 spectral channels, covering the wavelength range of 520nm to 850nm. The outstanding characteristics of these observations are (a) high resolution with the minimum fringe spacing of 1.7mas, easily resolving the 3-milliarcsecond (mas) stellar disk, and (b) the measurement of closure phase which is a sensitive indicator to the asymmetry of the brightness distribution of the source. Uniform disk diameters fit to the measured squared visibility amplitudes confirms the Altair's oblate shape due to its rapid rotation. The measured observables of Altair showed two features which are inconsistent with both the uniform-disk and limb-darkened disk models, while the measured observable of the comparison star, Vega, are consistent with the limb-darkened disk model. The first feature is that measured squared visibility amplitudes at the first minimum do not reach 0.0 but rather remain at about 0.02, indicating the existence of a small bright region on the stellar disk. The other is that the measured closure phases show non-zero/180 degrees at all spectral channels, which requires an asymmetric surface brightness distribution. We fitted the measured observables to a model with a bright spot on a limb-darkened disk and found the observations are well reproduced by a bright spot, which has relative intensity of 4.7%, on a 3.38 mas limb-darkened stellar disk. Rapid rotation of Altair indicates that this bright region is a pole, which is brighter than other part of the star owing to gravity darkening.

description: Early X-ray observations suggested that the intracluster medium cools and condenses at the centers of clusters, leading to a cooling flow of plasma in the cluster core. The increased incidence of emission-line nebulosity, excess blue light, AGN activity, and molecular gas in the cores of clusters with short central cooling times seemed to support this idea. However, high-resolution spectroscopic observations from XMM-Newton and Chandra have conclusively ruled out simple, steady cooling flow models. We review the history of this subject, the current status of X-ray observations, and some recent models that have been proposed to explain why the core gas does not simply cool and condense.

description: Axion-like particles (ALPs) with lepton-flavor violating couplings can be probed in exotic muon and tau decays. The sensitivity of different experiments depends strongly on the ALP mass and its couplings to leptons and photons. For ALPs that can be resonantly produced, the sensitivity of three-body decays such as $μ\to 3e$ and $τ\to 3μ$ exceeds by many orders of magnitude that of radiative decays like $μ\to eγ$ and $τ\toμγ$. Searches for these two types of processes are therefore highly complementary. We discuss experimental constraints on ALPs with a single dominant lepton-flavor violating coupling. Allowing for one or more such couplings offers qualitatively new ways to explain the anomalies related to the magnetic moments of the muon and electron.

description: Statistically based model of the DNA ensemble evolution allowed the formulation of mechanobiological approach linking the open complex dynamics and different scenario of gene expression related to normal and cancer cell behavior. It was shown the correspondence of open complex dynamics to specific type of criticality in mesodefects (open complex) ensemble (the structural-scaling transition) in the presence of qualitative different nonlinearity of the mesoscopic potential associated with the epigenetic landscape. The role of open complexes is similar to the mesoscopic defects and provides the cell plasticity or the cell fragility depending on the structural susceptibility of the cytoskeleton structure and the types of collective modes of defects (open complexes). These modes are responsible for the DNA transformation leading to the natural cycle of gene expression and spontaneous cell division as the cancer precursor. The WTMM analysis of the phase thickness fluctuations after the Laser interference Microscopy of living cells shows the log-normal and power law statistics for normal and cancer scenario that are linked to multi- and monofractal dynamics of open complexes.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) intrinsic half-metallic materials are of great interest to explore the exciting physics and applications of nanoscale spintronic devices, but no such materials have been experimentally realized. Using first-principles calculations based on density-functional theory (DFT), we predicted that single-layer MnAsS$_4$ was a 2D intrinsic ferromagnetic (FM) half-metal. The half-metallic spin gap for single-layer MnAsS$_4$ is about 1.46 eV, and it has a large spin splitting of about 0.49 eV in the conduction band. Monte Carlo simulations predicted the Curie temperature (\emph{T}$_c$) was about 740 K. Moreover, Within the biaxial strain ranging from -5\% to 5\%, the FM half-metallic properties remain unchanged. Its ground-state with 100\% spin-polarization ratio at Fermi level may be a promising candidate material for 2D spintronic applications.

description: Motivated by recent results on charmed baryons from CLEO and FOCUS, we reexamine the couplings of the orbitally excited charmed baryons. Due to its proximity to the [Sigma_c pi] threshold, the strong decays of the Lambda_c(2593) are sensitive to finite width effects. This distorts the shape of the invariant mass spectrum in Lambda_{c1}-> Lambda_c pi^+pi^- from a simple Breit-Wigner resonance, which has implications for the experimental extraction of the Lambda_c(2593) mass and couplings. We perform a fit to unpublished CLEO data which gives M(Lambda_c(2593)) - M(Lambda_c) = 305.6 +- 0.3 MeV and h2^2 = 0.24^{+0.23}_{-0.11}, with h2 the Lambda_{c1}-> Sigma_c pi strong coupling in the chiral Lagrangian. We also comment on the new orbitally excited states recently observed by CLEO.

description: We investigate the distribution of the spacings of adjacent eigenvalues of the lattice Dirac operator. At zero chemical potential $μ$, the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution $P(s)$ follows the Wigner surmise of random matrix theory both in the confinement and in the deconfinement phase. This is indicative of quantum chaos. At nonzero chemical potential, the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator become complex and we discuss how $P(s)$ can be defined in the complex plane. Numerical results from an SU(2) simulation with staggered fermions in fundamental and adjoint representations are compared with predictions from non-hermitian random matrix theory, and agreement with the Ginibre ensemble is found for $μ\approx 0.5$.

Remarks. The presence of C. prakkei in Singapore is based on one record from Sclater (1891a) who examined specimen ZSI 13306 which he received from Singapore from Davison, and that was identified by Boulenger as C. sumatrana (Sclater 1891b). Smedley (1932) removed it from the checklist of Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore stating that if the specimen was identified correctly, then it was likely imported from Sumatra. Tweedie (1953, 1983) also deemed the locality unlikely and did not include it in his checklist. Afterwards, when Inger & Marx (1965) examined the specimen, they synonymised it with C. prakkei and accepted Singapore as the locality of the specimen; although, they did not formally address the issue of the specimen’s origin. Stuebing et al. (2014) also listed Singapore as a locality for C. prakkei. As C. prakkei is only known from six specimens from Sandankan, Sabah, East Malaysia (Inger & Marx 1965) and ZSI 13306 from Singapore (Stuebing et al. 2014), then there is a chance that the Singapore record is authentic. However, given the high endemism of Calamaria in Borneo, the fact that the Borneo records are from eastern Borneo, and the initial controversy surrounding the specimen, we treat C. prakkei as uncertain for now. Calamaria prakkei is recognised as possibly extinct (IUCN 2022).

Remarks. Historically, H. cyanocinctus was known from Singapore from one specimen at NHMUK which Gray (1849) described as a new species, H. aspera, with the locality as ‘ Singapore?’. Cantor (1847c) first reported H. cyanocinctus from Singapore stating that it is rare based on catches in fishing nets, but no specimens were ever collected. Nonetheless, subsequent publications recognised the locality of Singapore as valid (Ģnther 1864; Flower 1896; Boulenger 1912). No other specimens were ever collected aside from five specimens collected during Voris and Jeffries study. The specimens include two collected around Horsburgh Lighthouse on Pedra Branca and three specimens collected at Kangkar Fish Market from an unknown locality. Thus, we exclude these specimens as originating in Singapore (refer to “A note on sea snakes in Singapore ” above). Additional specimens at LKCNHM were also taken from the South China Sea by Voris and Jeffries. Lim & Lee (1989) describe H. cyanocinctus as common in Singapore’s waters, but provide no details on observations or records.
