 In a trench along the central part of the Peel Boundary fault zone (PBFZ), Roer Valley Rift System (RVRS), southeastern Netherlands, evidence was found for a large faulting event that occurred around 14 ka. The event caused a fault scarp in unconsolidated sediments of ~1 meter. A colluvial wedge was formed next to the scarp. A second faulting event offsets this colluvial wedge by 0.2 - 0.1m. This event can be tentatively dated at ~13 ka. During or immediately after the second event, a large clastic dyke intruded along the fault plane. The dyke is not faulted, but its emplacement did cause some minor thrust faulting around the injection. The sudden character of the main faulting event, the brittle deformation style of loam layers, the lack of growth faulting in the colluvial wedge, the clastic dykes and the flame structures demonstrate that the main faulting event was a surface rupturing earthquake. Based on the scarp height, the estimated moment magnitude is about 6.8±0.3. Similar observations in a previous trench site suggest that the length of the surface rupture was at least 32 km, which is in agreement with the inferred magnitude. In general, glacio-isostatic movements might explain the earthquake events in the RVRS, like in northern Germany and Denmark. The Maas river crosses the PBFZ and shows several morphodynamic responses that are synchronous with the fault displacement. This forms a unique example of a transient river response to abrupt, surface-rupturing faulting and it is different to what classical models predict

description: Land use change is a very complex process of evolution. On the basis of the principle of cellular automata, this article presents a kind of method that we can first mine state transition rule from historical map data, and then conduct forecast by virtue of Monte-Carlo method, achieving spatial dynamic forecast from map to map. We interpret TM remote sensing image in Ji'nan City in 2004 and 2006 to get present land use map for empirical research, and forecast land use map in 2012 and 2016, respectively. Studies show that this method of using spatial data to mine state transition rule, has advantages of simpleness, accuracy, strong real-time characteristic etc. in the simulation of dynamic change of land use, the results of which are roughly in line with the actual results, therefore, it can provide reference for land use planning.

description: We combine the GMRT low frequency radio observations of SN 1993J with the VLA high frequency radio data to get a near simultaneous spectrum around day 3200 since explosion. The low frequency measurements of the supernova determine the turnover frequency and flux scale of the composite spectrum and help reveal a steepening in the spectral index, $Δα\sim 0.6$, in the optically thin part of the spectrum. This is the first observational evidence of a break in the radio spectrum of a young supernova. We associate this break with the phenomenon of synchrotron aging of radiating electrons. From the break in the spectrum we calculate the magnetic field in the shocked region independent of the equipartition assumption between energy density of relativistic particles and magnetic energy density. We determine the ratio of these two energy densities and find that this ratio is in the range: $8\times 10^{-6}-5\times 10^{-4}$. We also predict the nature of the evolution of the synchrotron break frequency with time, with competing effects due to diffusive Fermi acceleration and adiabatic expansion of the radiative electron plasma.

description: The reach of ab initio many-body theories is rapidly extending over the nuclear chart. However, dealing fully with three-nucleon, possibly four-nucleon, interactions makes the solving of the A-body Schrödinger equation particularly cumbersome, if not impossible beyond a certain nuclear mass. Consequently, ab initio calculations of mid-mass nuclei are typically performed on the basis of the normal-ordered two-body (NO2B) approximation that captures dominant effects of three-nucleon forces while effectively working with two-nucleon operators. A powerful idea currently employed to extend ab initio calculations to open-shell nuclei consists of expanding the exact solution of the A-body Schrödinger equation while authorizing the approximate solution to break symmetries of the Hamiltonian. In this context, operators are normal ordered with respect to a symmetry-breaking reference state such that proceeding to a naive truncation may lead to symmetry-breaking approximate operators. The purpose of the present work is to design a normal-ordering approximation of operators that is consistent with the symmetries of the Hamiltonian while working in the context of symmetry broken (and potentially restored) methods. Focusing on many-body formalisms in which U(1) global-gauge symmetry associated with particle number conservation is broken (and potentially restored), a particle-number-conserving normal-ordered k-body (PNOkB) approximation of an arbitrary N-body operator is designed on the basis of Bogoliubov reference states. A numerical test based on particle-number projected Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations permits to check the particle-number conserving/violating character of a given approximation to a particle-number conserving operator. Using the presently proposed PNOkB approximation, ab initio calculations based on symmetry-breaking and restored formalisms can be safely performed.

description: Lipid membrane with freely exposed edge is regarded as smooth surface with curved boundary. Exterior differential forms are introduced to describe the surface and the boundary curve. The total free energy is defined as the sum of Helfrich's free energy and the surface and line tension energy. The equilibrium equation and boundary conditions of the membrane are derived by taking the variation of the total free energy. These equations can also be applied to the membrane with several freely exposed edges. Analytical and numerical solutions to these equations are obtained under the axisymmetric condition. The numerical results can be used to explain recent experimental results obtained by Saitoh \emph{et al}. [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. \textbf{95}, 1026 (1998)].

description: The paper deals with an extremal problem concerning colorings of hypergraphs with bounded edge degrees. Consider the family of $b$-simple hypergraphs, in which any two edges do not share more than $b$ common vertices. We prove that for $n\geqslant n_0(b)$, any $n$-uniform $b$-simple hypergraph with the maximum edge degree at most $c\cdot nr^{n-b}$ is $r$-colorable, where $c>0$ is an absolute constant. We also establish some applications of the main result.

description: Objectives Amphiregulin (Areg), a glycoprotein from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligand family, has a well-documented protective role against tissue injury; however, its effects on immune-mediated liver injury are still unclear. Here, we used a concanavalin A (ConA)-induced acute liver hepatitis model to explore the effects of Areg on immune-mediated acute liver injury. Materials and methods Some C57BL/6 mice were administered ConA at a dose of 20 mg/kg (model mice), and some received 5µg of Areg (treated mice). Then,their survival rates over 36 hours were analysed. After 5 hours of treatment, liver function, hepatic histology and apoptosis in liver tissue were investigated, and cytokine expression and neutrophil infiltration and activity in the liver were detected. Moreover, the protective effects of Areg were also evaluated without IL-22 in vivo. Results Our results showed that Areg administration increased acute liver failure (ALF) mouse survival, restored liver function and alleviated liver damage. Interestingly, Areg administration increased IL-22 production in hepatic T cells and upregulated IL-22 concentrations in the serum and liver, whereas IL-22 neutralization completely abolished the therapeutic effect of Areg. Meanwhile, Areg administration was concomitant with increased expression of the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, which are important in the hepatoprotective mechanism of IL-22. Conclusion Areg showed direct protective effects against ConA-induced acute liver injury, which suggests the potential therapeutic application of Areg in immune-mediated ALF.

description: Based on the actual survey of 724 rural households in 21 townships of Sichuan Province, this article analyzes the basic information, basic characteristics and problems in current China's farmland transfer. The results show that the rural land contractual management right is relatively stable; in farmland transfer market, the degree of development of farmland transfer-out market is higher than that of farmland transfer-in market; at the same time, there are many problems, such as fragmentation of rural land resources allocation, incomplete land property rights system, too powerful land security function, single land transfer pattern and unsound transfer system. Corresponding countermeasures are put forward as follows: unifying urban and rural planning, and adjusting distribution pattern of rural land in concert with the course of urbanization; improving land property rights system, so that the farmers have the land contractual management right with real right tendency; strengthening the legal construction of land transfer, regulating the land transfer process, and guiding regularized and legalized development of land transfer; promoting farmers' cognitive level, and establishing the intermediary platform to provide land transfer information, ensuring information symmetry between both sides of transfer; providing more non-agricultural jobs, establishing and improving social security system for farmers, and diluting the social security function of land.

description: An M/string-theory origin for the six-dimensional Salam-Sezgin chiral gauged supergravity is obtained, by embedding it as a consistent Pauli-type reduction of type I or heterotic supergravity on the non-compact hyperboloid ${\cal H}^{2,2}$ times $S^1$. We can also obtain embeddings of larger, non-chiral, gauged supergravities in six dimensions, whose consistent truncation yields the Salam-Sezgin theory. The lift of the Salam-Sezgin (Minkowski)$_4\times S^2$ ground state to ten dimensions is asymptotic at large distances to the near-horizon geometry of the NS5-brane.

 For several reasons, the inlet temperature of the heat carrier fluid in borehole heat exchangers (BHE) may temporarily fall below the freezing point of water. Consequently, freezing and thawing processes are induced in the grouting material and the surrounding subsoil. However, these processes also influence the transition zonecontact area between pipes and grout as well as the skin zone between the grout and the undisturbed subsoil. This can lead to significant impairment damage of the grouting material or the subsoil structure and cause detachment phenomena between the pipe and the grout or in the skin zone. As a result, the hydraulic integrity of the system cannot be sustained and possible secondary flow paths may occur. Previous research on this issue focused on the grout only or on the compound simplified system of grout and BHE-pipes, but completely omitted the subsoil as well as the skin zone. For this reason, a large-scale experiment was developed, which allows for a simulation of freeze-thaw cycles, considering a realistic BHE configuration of a double-U-Pipe embedded in a grout cylinder and surrounded by compacted soil material. During the experiment, the hydraulic conductivity and temperature distribution areis measured constantly. The experimental results illustrate the extent of freeze-thaw damage processes under in situ conditions., Furthermore, the transition zonecontact area between the pipes and the grout material is clearly identified as the major weak point of the system compound. The findings are used to develop improvement measures in order to maintain the integrity of the system even under the impact of numerous freeze-thaw cycles.

 The UNEXUP project (2020-2022), funded by EIT RawMaterials, is a continuation of the Horizon 2020 UNEXMIN project (2016-2019). In UNEXMIN a robotic platform to conduct geoscientific surveys in underground flooded mines was developed and tested in the field. In UNEXUP the key objective is to transform this technology into a commercial exploration service, while further developing the technology involved in the robotic system. The first step of the project will be to build an upscaling version of the current robot – UX-1 – developed within UNEXMIN, addressing the pre-identified limitations and tailoring the navigation and geoscientific instrumentation according to the potential customers’ needs. Future customers are mining companies, geological surveys, mine owners and other industries that would benefit from the technology. The current version of UX-1 is already capable of conducting complex surveys, gathering geoscientific data that allow geoscientists to build, for example, geological and structural maps of flooded environments, cross-sections of shafts, detection of ores with natural radiation, determination of physical and chemical parameters of the waters, as well as automatic detection of some minerals (i.e. calcite). In addition to the UX-1 upscaling unit, another robot will be added to the platform in the second year of the project – 2022. It will be a heavier vehicle, capable of navigating at greater depths, with geoscientific payload and sampling instruments that will be able to produce high-quality data from currently inaccessible mine sites with minimum environmental impacts – as a non-contact survey method – or human risks.

description: Many persistent organic pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), have high immunomodulating potentials. Exposure to them, in combination with virus infections, has been shown to aggravate outcomes of the infection, leading to increased viral titers and host mortality. Expression of immune-related microRNA (miR) signaling pathways (by host and/or virus) have been shown to be important in determining these outcomes; there is some evidence to suggest pollutants can cause dysregulation of miRNAs. It was thus hypothesized here that modulation of miRNAs (and associated cytokine genes) by pollutants exerts negative effects during viral infections. To test this, an in vitro study on chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) exposed to a PCB mixture (Aroclor 1260) and then stimulated with a synthetic RNA virus (poly(I:C)) or infected with a lymphoma-causing DNA virus (Gallid Herpes Virus 2 [GaHV-2]) was conducted. Using quantitative real-time PCR, expression patterns for mir-155, pro-inflammatory TNFα and IL-8, transcription factor NF-κB1, and anti-inflammatory IL-4 were investigated 8, 12, and 18 h after virus activation. The study showed that Aroclor1260 modulated mir-155 expression, such that a down-regulation of mir-155 in poly(I:C)-treated CEF was seen up to 12 h. Aroclor1260 exposure also increased the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory genes after 8 h in poly(I:C)-treated cells, but levels in GaHV-2-infected cells were unaffected. In contrast to with Aroclor1260/poly(I:C), Aroclor1260/GaHV-2-infected cells displayed an increase in mir-155 levels after 12 h compared to levels seen with either individual treatment. While after 12 h expression of most evaluated genes was down-regulated (independent of treatment regimen), by 18 h, up-regulation was evident again. In conclusion, this study added evidence that mir-155 signaling represents a sensitive pathway to chemically-induced immunomodulation and indicated that PCBs can modulate highly-regulated innate immune system signaling pathways important in determining host immune response outcomes during viral infections.

description: Le emozioni assumono un ruolo fondamentale nella quotidianità di qualunque persona. Osservando le dinamiche relazionali in classe mi sono resa conto di come sia facile per i bambini lasciarsi sopraffare dai propri stati emotivi e, al contempo, di come la consapevolezza emotiva sia un’abilità non sempre automatica o scontata. Partendo da queste considerazioni mi sono dunque chiesta se svolgere delle attività teatrali incentrate sulle emozioni, dove il corpo è il principale strumento comunicativo, potesse aiutare i bambini a identificare i propri e altrui stati emotivi. Conseguentemente mi sono poi domandata se, oltre ad aiutarli nel riconoscimento delle emozioni, simili interventi influissero positivamente sulle capacità empatiche degli allievi, aiutandoli a rispondere in modo appropriato agli stati emotivi dei compagni. Durante la fase di sperimentazione, sviluppata nel corso di sette settimane, i bambini sono stati coinvolti in diverse attività espressive con lo scopo di approfondire quattro emozioni primarie: gioia, rabbia, tristezza e paura. Il processo è stato monitorato grazie all’osservazione mirata, supportata da una tabella osservativa, e al confronto personale con gli allievi, avvenuto tramite delle interviste dirette. Dall’analisi dei dati raccolti è risultato che coinvolgere i bambini in un itinerario teatrale incentrato sulle emozioni abbia effettivamente degli effetti positivi sulla loro consapevolezza emotiva e sulle loro capacità empatiche.

description: Occupational immune diseases are a serious public health burden and are often a result of exposure to low molecular weight (LMW) chemicals. The complete immunological mechanisms driving these responses are not fully understood which has made the classification of chemical allergens difficult. Antimicrobials are a large group of immunologically-diverse LMW agents. In these studies, mice were dermally exposed to representative antimicrobial chemicals (sensitizers: didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC), ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA), irritants: benzal-konium chloride (BAC), and adjuvant: triclosan (TCS)) and the mRNA expression of cytokines and cellular mediators was evaluated using real-time qPCR in various tissues over a 7-days period. All antimicrobials caused increases in the mRNA expression of the danger signals Tslp (skin), and S100a8 (skin, blood, lung). Expression of the TH2 cytokine Il4 peaked at different timepoints for the chemicals based on exposure duration. Unique expression profiles were identified for OPA (Il10 in lymph node, Il4 and Il13 in lung) and TCS (Tlr4 in skin). Additionally, all chemicals except OPA induced decreased expression of the cellular adhesion molecule Ecad. Overall, the results from these studies suggest that unique gene expression profiles are implicated following dermal exposure to various antimicrobial agents, warranting the need for additional studies. In order to advance the development of preventative and therapeutic strategies to combat immunological disease, underlying mechanisms of antimicrobial-induced immunomodulation must be fully understood. This understanding will aid in the development of more effective methods to screen for chemical toxicity, and may potentially lead to more effective treatment strategies for those suffering from immune diseases.

description: Exposure to environmental toxicants that affect the immune system and overall health of many mammals is mostly unavoidable. One of the more common substances is the mycotoxins, especially carcinogenic aflatoxin (AF)B1 which also causes immune suppression/dysregulation in exposed hosts. The present study analyzed the effects of naturally occurring levels of AFB1 on apoptosis of healthy bovine and camelid neonatal neutrophils (PMN) that were isolated both before and after host consumption of colostrum. Cells from bovine and camel neonates (n = 12 sets of PMN/mammal/timepoint) were exposed for 24 h to a low level of AFB1 (i.e. 10 ng AFB1/ml) and then intracellular ATP content and caspase-3, -7, and -9 activities (determined by bioluminescence) were assessed. The results indicated a significant lessening of intracellular ATP content and equivalents of luminescence intensity in AFB1-treated PMN in all studied samples, i.e. isolated pre-and post-colostrum consumption. In contrast, caspase-3, -7, and -9 activities in both pre- and post-colostrum consumption bovine and camelid PMN were noticeably increased (∼>2-fold). The damaging effects of AFB1 were more pronounced in bovine neonate PMN than in camelid ones. These results showed that camelid or bovine neonatal PMN collected pre- and post-colostrum are sensitive (moreso after consumption) to naturally occurring levels of AFB1. While merits of colostrum are well known, its failure to mitigate toxic effects of AFB1 in what would translate into a critical period in the development of immune competence (i.e. during the first few days of life in bovine and camelid calves) is surprising. The observed in vitro toxicities can help clarify underlying mechanisms of immune disorders caused by AFs in animals/humans.

description: Hydration of hydrophobic solutes in water is the cause of different phenomena, including the hydrophobic heat-capacity anomaly, which are not yet fully understood. Because of its topicality, there has recently been growing interest in the mechanism of hydrophobic aggregation, and in the physics on which it is based. In this study we use a simple yet powerful mixture model for water, an adapted two-state Muller-Lee-Graziano model, to describe the energy levels of water molecules as a function of their proximity to non-polar solute molecules. The model is shown to provide an appropriate description of many-body interactions between the hydrophobic solute particles. The solubility and aggregation of hydrophobic substances is studied by evaluating detailed Monte Carlo simulations in the vicinity of the first-order aggregation phase transition. A closed-loop coexistence curve is found, which is consistent with a mean-field calculation carried out for the same system. In addition, the destabilizing effect of a chaotropic substance in the solution is studied by suitable modification of the MLG model. These findings suggest that a simple model for the hydrophobic interaction may contain the primary physical processes involved in hydrophobic aggregation and in the chaotropic effect.

description: We elaborate relevant theories of farmers’ relational network, including the Differential Model of Association, the Strength of Weak Tie, Strong Tie Strength, and Favor and Face. The farmers’ relational network in the Differential Model of Association can be divided into three layers: strong tie, weak tie and irrelative relationship according to theory of Granovetter. These three layers have deep influence on opportunity selection during undertaking, financing and enterprise development. With rational knowledge of these layers, farmers may exploit undertaking resources. On the basis of this, we made detailed analysis on farmers’ selection of relations in the opportunity selection, financing and enterprise development stages.
Gravitational-wave memory from a propagating relativistic jet: a probe of the interior of gamma-ray burst progenitors

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is believed that the relativistic jets of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) should initially propagate through a heavy envelope of the massive progenitor stars or through a merger ejecta formed from the compact binary mergers. The interaction of a jet with a stellar envelope or a merger ejecta can lead to the deceleration of the head material of the jet and simultaneously the formation of a hot cocoon. However, this jet-envelope/ejecta interaction is actually undetectable with electromagnetic radiation and can only be inferred indirectly by the structure of the breakout jet. Therefore, as a solution to this phenomenon, we suggest that the jet-envelope/ejecta interaction can produce a gravitational-wave (GW) memory of an amplitude of $h\sim10^{-26}-10^{-23}$, which could be detected with some future GW detectors sensitive in the frequency range from sub-Hertz to several tens of Hertz. This provides a potential direct way to probe the jet propagation and then the interior of the GRB progenitors. Moreover, this method is in principle available even if the jet is finally chocked in the stellar envelope or the merger ejecta.

description: In the past few decades data processing and in-company communication has changed significantly. First there were only a few computers purchased at companies, therefore departments developed applications that covered corporate administration which lead to so called isolated solutions. These days with the spread of electronic data processing the greatest problem for companies is not gaining information – since they can be found in all sorts of databases and data warehouses as internal or external information – rather producing information that is necessary in a given situation. What can help to solve this situation? It is informatics, more precisely ERP systems which have substituted software that provided isolated solutions at companies for decades. System based thinking is important in their application beside the fact that only data absolutely necessary for managerial decisions must be produced. This paper points out why we consider practice oriented teaching of ERP systems in higher education important.

description: Significant quantity of renewable plant biomass comes into existence in Hungary year by year. Nowadays there are different wellknow possibilities for utilization. However these methods are not widely accepted. The most important obstacle is frequently caused by lack of knowledge of farmers. Without the necessary information the farmers become distrustful, and in many cases significantly decrease the efficiency of reclamation. Targeted communication method should be used to improve the rates of utilization. It should include appropriate content to their knowledge. This study research the knowledge and the acceptance of vine-branch utilization circle of wine-grower in micro region of Gyöngyös by questionnaire survey. We will know why the use of by-products has not spreaded yet circle of wine-grower and where they get their information from. The typically fragmented farms do not utilize because they do not know the process for doing or other people cultivate their vine-yard so they have not necessary machine. The questionnaire ask the farmers they want to offer their vine-branch a user factory.The questionnaires was completed by personal request. The reason of methods was the bigger rate of query. The questionnaire include question about the farm, the use of vinebranch and data of farmers. The villages were asked the rates of wine-grower. The aim of the research the rational utilize of by-product by wine-growers year by year. With the results of questionnaire survey we can inform the farmers with the appropriate method about the necessary knowledge.

description: Nel presente lavoro di tesi viene analizzato il modo in cui gli allievi della scuola dell’infanzia apprendono parole nuove attraverso l’ascolto di una filastrocca di Gianni Rodari. I bambini, grazie alla filastrocca “Le cose che non dormono mai” contenuta all’interno del volume “Filastrocche per tutto l’anno”, sono entrati in contatto con due aggettivi, il cui significato era a loro sconosciuto. Agli allievi è stato chiesto di scoprire cosa volessero dire queste due parole, di utilizzarle in vari contesti ed infine di inventare una filastrocca che le contenesse. Questo lavoro di ricerca è servito a dimostrare che vi sono vari modi in cui gli allievi arricchiscono il loro lessico: basandosi sul suono delle parole, poi sul loro significato ed infine utilizzandole in vari contesti. Durante l’intero processo di apprendimento la tipologia testuale della filastrocca non ha solo facilitato il coinvolgimento degli allievi, ma ha ne ha arricchito anche il bagaglio lessicale.
