description: This edition of Carolina Forum includes the following: WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA: DESTRUCTION OR PROTECTION? As coordinator of the Western North Carolina Mountain League and founder of the Save Joyce Kilmer League, I would like to take this opportunity to present a most interesting and pressing problem in regional planning. COMPUTERS AND CULTURAL RESOURCES: A PLANNING PERSPECTIVE: Under the auspices of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, applicants for federal funds for planning or development must evaluate the effects of their activities on significant cultural resources*. When cultural resource data are not readily available to project planners, or are not incorporated into the planning process in its early stages, problems and project delays often result. A BALANCED APPROACH TO INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT: Trying to plan for economic growth in a free economy is like trying to herd a covey of flushed quail. At best, you move it in a general direction. Happily, North Carolina does have strong economic growth these days, and what once was nicknamed "Tobacco Road" is now hailed the bustling "Sunbelt." The state has enjoyed a steady increase in new capital investments for the past three years, and 1978 continues the trend. Governor Jim Hunt has emphasized economic development in his administration, and he has engaged the state in an ambitious effort to develop a "balanced growth" policy.

description: AbstractBackgroundDietary factors such as folate, vitamin B12, protein, and methionine are important for the excretion of arsenic via one-carbon metabolism in undernourished populations exposed to high levels of arsenic via drinking water. However, the effects of dietary factors on toenail arsenic concentrations in well-nourished populations exposed to relatively low levels of water arsenic are unknown.MethodsAs part of a population-based case–control study of skin and bladder cancer from the USA, we evaluated relationships between consumption of dietary factors and arsenic concentrations in toenail clippings. Consumption of each dietary factor was determined from a validated food frequency questionnaire. We used general linear models to examine the associations between toenail arsenic and each dietary factor, taking into account potentially confounding effects.ResultsAs expected, we found an inverse association between ln-transformed toenail arsenic and consumption of vitamin B12 (excluding supplements) and animal protein. Unexpectedly, there were also inverse associations with numerous dietary lipids (e.g., total fat, total animal fat, total vegetable fat, total monounsaturated fat, total polyunsaturated fat, and total saturated fat). Finally, increased toenail arsenic concentrations were associated with increased consumption of long chain n-3 fatty acids.ConclusionIn a relatively well-nourished population exposed to relatively low levels of arsenic via water, consumption of certain dietary lipids may decrease toenail arsenic concentration, while long chain n-3 fatty acids may increase toenail arsenic concentration, possibly due to their association with arsenolipids in fish tissue.

description: Today the population of Harkers Island is 1651, and the old fishing and boat-building traditions are in trouble. Says Jim Sabella, an anthropologist at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington: "If you go to Harkers Island with the notion that you're going to find this quaint, old-timey fishing village, forget it. It's just not there. It's only when you've lived there for a while, and you get to know the families, that you see the older way of life coming through."

description: Giant planets form in protoplanetary disks while these disks are still gas-rich, and can reveal their presence through the annular gaps they carve out. HD 100546 is a gas-rich disk with a wide gap between between a radius of ~1 and 13 AU, possibly cleared out by a planetary companion or planetary system. We want to identify the nature of the unseen companion near the far end of the disk gap. We use mid-infrared interferometry at multiple baselines to constrain the curvature of the disk wall at the far end of the gap. We use 2D hydrodynamical simulations of embedded planets and brown dwarfs to estimate viscosity of the disk and the mass of a companion close to the disk wall. We find that the disk wall at the far end of the gap is not vertical, but rounded-off by a gradient in the surface density. Such a gradient can be reproduced in hydrodynamical simulations with a single, heavy companion (>=30...80 M_Jup) while the disk has viscosity of at least α >~ 5 10^-3. Taking into account the changes in the temperature structure after gap opening reduces the lower limit on the planet mass and disk viscosity to 20 M_Jup and α = 2 10^-3. The object in the disk gap of HD 100546 that shapes the disk wall is most likely a 60(+20)(-40) M_Jup brown dwarf, while the disk viscosity is estimated to be at least α = 2 10^-3. The disk viscosity is an important factor in estimating planetary masses from disk morphologies: more viscous disks need heavier planets to open an equally deep gap.

description: Abstract
                Background
                Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at high risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and sexually transmitted infection (STI) in China. Inadequate clinical services and poor clinical competency among physicians are major barriers to improving the sexual health of MSM. This study aims to understand physician clinical competency in providing MSM health services in China.
                Methods
                We conducted an online cross-sectional survey among Chinese physicians who have seen male patients for STI complaints in the past year. We obtained information on individual demographics, clinical practice, attitudes toward MSM, and interest in contributing to MSM clinical services. We defined an MSM-competent physician as one who asked male patients about sexual orientation, sexual practices, and recommended HIV/ STI testing during a clinic visit. We conducted multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with MSM competency.
                Results
                In total, 501 physicians completed the survey. The most common subspecialties were dermatovenereology (33.1%), urology (30.1%), and general medicine (14.4%). Roughly half (n = 267, 53.3%) reported seeing MSM in the past 12 months. Among physicians who saw MSM in the past 12 months, 60.3% (n = 161) met criteria as MSM-competent physicians, and most (n = 234, 87.6%) MSM-competent physicians reported positive or neutral attitudes towards MSM. Over 60% of all physicians were willing to participate in activities for improving MSM services, such as training and being on a list of physicians willing to serve MSM. MSM-competent physicians showed no sociodemographic differences compared with non MSM-competent physicians. MSM-competent physicians were more willing to have their medical institution named on a public clinic list capable of serving MSM (aOR: 1.70, 95%CI: 1.01–2.86) and being on a public physician list capable of serving MSM (aOR: 1.77, 95%CI: 1.03–3.03).
                Conclusions
                MSM-competent physicians included a broad range of individuals that practiced in diverse clinical settings. Most physicians were interested in improving and expanding MSM clinical services, despite having neutral attitudes toward same-sex behavior. Future interventions should focus on developing MSM clinical competency and expanding services that meet the needs of MSM.
Cognitive Effort-Based Decision-Making & Task Preferences
Creators: name: Randez, Alyssa Amanda
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Cognitive and computational psychology not elsewhere classified

description: Individual differences in cognitive effort-based decision-making can reveal the variety of decision strategies used in action valuations. For example, factors such as how challenging an action is or how much reward can be gained are often considered when weighing how valuable an action is. Experiment 1 considers task preferences offered at different demand levels (i.e., the degree of challenge) to determine whether decision-making strategies are related primarily to 1) demand levels, 2) individual capability, or 3) task components. Results suggest that participants’ decisions were primarily driven by task options rather than their performance. Experiment 2 then compares task preferences in different incentive-related conditions. While the majority of decisions were in the predicted direction (favoring lower demand levels and higher monetary amounts), there were individual differences that suggested valuations of both task options as well as incentive conditions. The results of these experiments suggest individuals use various decision strategies involving factors that may have been overlooked in past research. These findings challenge the assumption that task preferences are primarily related to how challenging an action is and instead suggest that preferences may be highly susceptible to experimental design factors as well as factors intrinsic to the individual.

description: Just beyond the gleaming corporate headquarters that herald North Carolina as one of the nation's banking centers exists a $90 million lending industry that quietly serves local markets. Without the fanfare that accompanies the corporate banking world, these revolving loan funds (RLFs) make loans to build businesses and revitalize communities in areas underserved by private financial institutions. As in most states, little is known about this industry collectively, but as a result of the research described in this article, a clearer picture of North Carolina's RLF industry has begun to emerge.

description: Interior to the orbit of Mercury, between 0.07 and 0.21 AU, is a dynamically stable region where a population of asteroids, known as Vulcanoids, may reside. We present the results from our search for Vulcanoids using archival data from the Heliospheric Imager-1 (HI-1) instrument on NASA's two STEREO spacecraft. Four separate observers independently searched through images obtained from 2008-12-10 to 2009-02-28. Roughly, all Vulcanoids with e<=0.15 and i<=15deg will pass through the HI-1 field of view at least twice during this period. No Vulcanoids were detected. Based on the number of synthetic Vulcanoids added to the data that were detected, we derive a 3 sigma upper limit (i.e. a confidence level >0.997) that there are presently no Vulcanoids larger than 5.7 km in diameter, assuming an R-band albedo of p_R=0.05 and a Mercury-like phase function. The present-day Vulcanoid population, if it exists at all, is likely a small remnant of the hypothetical primordial Vulcanoid population due to the combined effects of collisional evolution and subsequent radiative transport of collisional fragments. If we assume an extant Vulcanoid population with a collisional equilibrium differential size distribution with a power law index of -3.5, our limit implies that there are no more than 76 Vulcanoids larger than 1 km.

description: It's generally believed that young and rapidly rotating pulsars are important sites of particle's acceleration, in which protons can be accelerated to relativistic energy above the polar cap region if the magnetic moment is antiparallel to the spin axis($\vecμ\cdot\vecΩ<0$). To obtain the galactic diffusive neutrinos and gamma-rays for TeV, firstly,we use Monte Carlo(MC) method to generate a sample of young pulsars with ages less than $10^6$ yrs in our galaxy ; secondly, the neutrinos and high-energy gamma-rays can be produced through photomeson process with the interaction of energetic protons and soft X-ray photons ($p+γ\rightarrow Δ^+\rightarrow n+π^+/p+π^0$) for single pulsar, and these X-ray photons come from the neutron star surface. The results suggest that the diffusive TeV flux of neutrinos are lower than background flux, which indicated it is difficult to be detected by the current neutrino telescopes.

Noninvasive tests of CYP3A enzymes
Creators: name: Watkins, Paul
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: Cytochromes P450 belonging to the CYP 3A gene subfamily account for up to 2 5% of the total cyto­chrome P450 present in adult human liver, and account for the majority of cytochrome P450 present in human small bowel. The importance of the CYP3A enzymes is most established with respect to the metabolism of xenobiotics, particularly medications. The number of drugs metabolized chiefly by CYP3A enzymes is expanding rapidly and includes a wide variety of compounds in many different therapeutic classes (reviewed in Guengerich, 1992a; Watkins, 1992; Wrighton and Stevens, 1992). Several pharma­ceutical companies are now screening new chemical entities in development to determine whether they are metabolized by CYP3A enzymes. The finding that a drug is a substrate for CYP3A enzymes has three major implications. First, because CYP3A enzymes are relatively abundant in the intestinal mucosa (Kolars et al., 1992; Watkins et al., 198 7), CYP3A substrates may have poor oral bioavailability due to extensive 'first pass' metabolism at the level of the intestine (Kolars et al., 1991). Second, CYP3A substrates may be susceptible to certain drug interactions because some CYP3A enzymes are induced or inhibited by certain medications (reviewed in Watkins, 1992; Wrighton and Stevens, 1992). For example, the im­munosuppressant cyclosporine A and the antihis­tamine terfenadine have been shown to be metabolized chiefly by CYP3A4 (Kronbach et al., 1988; Combalbert et al., 1989; Chui-ho et al., 1993). This enzyme has been shown to be inhibited by erythromycin and ketoconazole (Pichard et al., 1990), and this appears to be the reason that patients receiving these drugs may develop toxic responses when treated with cyclosporine A or terfenadine. Conversely, CYP3A4 is inducible by treatment with antiseizure drugs and the antibiotic rifampicin (Pichard et al., 1990), and this appears to explain why patients treated with these medications require increased dosing of cyclosporine A. In drug development, the discovery that a new chemical entity is largely metabolized by CYP3A enzymes there­fore suggests the potential for similar drug inter­actions.

description: Exclusive measurements of prompt $γ$-rays from the heavy-residues with various light charged particles in the $^7$Li + $^{198}$Pt system, at an energy near the Coulomb barrier (E/$V_b$ $\sim$ 1.6) are reported. Recent dynamic classical trajectory calculations, constrained by the measured fusion, $α$ and $t$ capture cross-sections have been used to explain the excitation energy dependence of the residue cross-sections. These calculations distinctly illustrate a two step process, breakup followed by fusion in case of the capture of $t$ and $α$ clusters; whereas for $^{6}$He + $p$ and $^{5}$He + $d$ configurations, massive transfer is inferred to be the dominant mechanism. The present work clearly demonstrates the role played by the cluster structures of $^7$Li in understanding the reaction dynamics at energies around the Coulomb barrier.

description: Abstract Introduction: Clinical studies suggest a direct influence of periodontal disease (PD) on serum inflammatory markers and disease assessment of patients with established rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the influence of PD on arthritis development remains unclear. This investigation was undertaken to determine the contribution of chronic PD to immune activation and development of joint inflammation using the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model. Methods: DBA1/J mice orally infected with Porphyromonas gingivalis were administered with collagen II (CII) emulsified in complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) or incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (IFA) to induce arthritis. Arthritis development was assessed by visual scoring of paw swelling, caliper measurement of the paws, mRNA expression, paw micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis, histology, and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase for osteoclast detection (TRAP)-positive immunohistochemistry. Serum and reactivated splenocytes were evaluated for cytokine expression. Results: Mice induced for PD and/or arthritis developed periodontal disease, shown by decreased alveolar bone and alteration of mRNA expression in gingival tissues and submandibular lymph nodes compared to vehicle. P. gingivalis oral infection increased paw swelling and osteoclast numbers in mice immunized with CFA/CII. Arthritis incidence and severity were increased by P. gingivalis in mice that received IFA/CII immunizations. Increased synovitis, bone erosions, and osteoclast numbers in the paws were observed following IFA/CII immunizations in mice infected with P gingivalis. Furthermore, cytokine analysis showed a trend toward increased serum Th17/Th1 ratios when P. gingivalis infection was present in mice receiving either CFA/CII or IFA/CII immunizations. Significant cytokine increases induced by P. gingivalis oral infection were mostly associated to Th17-related cytokines of reactivated splenic cells, including IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-22 in the CFA/CII group and IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-β, IL-6 and IL-23 in the IFA/CII group. Conclusions: Chronic P. gingivalis oral infection prior to arthritis induction increases the immune system activation favoring Th17 cell responses, and ultimately accelerating arthritis development. These results suggest that chronic oral infection may influence RA development mainly through activation of Th17-related pathways.

description: From its source at Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondack Mountains of upper New York State, the Hudson River flows over 300 miles to its mouth in New York Harbor, where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, it flows past a wealth of diverse landscapes: rolling farmland, rustic, industrial river towns, mountain ranges of striking geology, ecologically-significant tidal wetlands, and finally New York City. For over half the length of this journey, the Hudson is tidal, and as a major estuary, the river contains marine, brackish, and freshwater habitats. This diversity of landscapes and natural habitats has intrigued residents and visitors for centuries, and has been the scene of historic events, extensive commerce, spectacular artistry, and everyday inspiration. It has also posed a challenge to planners and conservationists throughout the Hudson Valley-how to safeguard its natural attributes in the face of considerable long-term development pressures, while accommodating inevitable growth and development in a manner that is compatible with this natural heritage.

description: In the context of the program Global Architecture of Planetary Systems (GAPS), we have performed radial velocity monitoring of the metal-poor star HIP 11952 on 35 nights over about 150 days using the newly installed high resolution spectrograph HARPS-N at the TNG and HARPS at ESO 3.6m telescope. The radial velocities show a scatter of 7 m/s, compatible with the measurement errors for such a moderately warm metal-poor star (Teff = 6040+-120K; [Fe/H] =-1.9+-0.1). We then exclude the presence of the two giant planets with periods of 6.95+-0.01 d and 290.0+-16.2 d and radial velocity semi-amplitudes of 100.3+-19.4 m/s and 105.2+-14.7 m/s, respectively, which had recently been announced. This result is important considering that HIP 11952 was thought to be the most metal-poor star hosting a planetary system with giant planets, thus challenging some models of planet formation.

description: We compute Raman scattering intensities via the lowest-order coupling to the bosonic propagator associated with orbital nematic fluctuations in a minimal model for iron pnictides. The model consists of two bands on a square lattice exhibiting four Fermi pockets and a transition from the normal to a nematic state. It is shown that the orbital fluctuations produce in the B1g channel strong quasi-elastic light scattering around the nematic critical temperature Tn, both above and below Tn. This holds for the A1g symmetry only below Tn whereas no low-energy scattering from orbital fluctuations is found in the B2g symmetry. Due to the nematic distortion the electron pocket at the X-point may disappear at low temperatures. Such a Lifshitz transition causes in the B2g spectrum a large upward shift of spectral weight in the high energy region whereas no effect is seen in the other symmetries.

We have used Herschel data from the HOBYS key program to produce and analyze column density and temperature maps. Two preliminary catalogs were produced by extracting sources from the column density map and from Herschel maps convolved to the 500 micron resolution. Herschel reveals that among the compact sources (FWHM<0.45 pc), W3 East, W3 West, and W3 (OH) are the most massive and luminous and have the highest column density. Considering the unique properties of W3 East and W3 West, the only clumps with on-going high-mass star formation, we suggest a 'convergent constructive feedback' scenario to account for the formation of a cluster with decreasing age and increasing system/source mass toward the innermost regions. This process, which relies on feedback by high-mass stars to ensure the availability of material during cluster formation, could also lead to the creation of an environment suitable for the formation of Trapezium-like systems. In common with other scenarios proposed in other HOBYS studies, our results indicate that an active/dynamic process aiding in the accumulation, compression, and confinement of material is a critical feature of the high-mass star/cluster formation, distinguishing it from classical low-mass star formation. The environmental conditions and availability of triggers determine the form in which this process occurs, implying that high-mass star/cluster formation could arise from a range of scenarios: from large scale convergence of turbulent flows, to convergent constructive feedback or mergers of filaments.

description: This article describes Virginia 's current business incentive programs and analyzes whether land use patterns and long-term development effects are considered when providing grant and loan awards. It finds that Virginia does not consider the impact of its economic incentive programs on land use patterns and sustainability. Furthermore, the information publicly available on these programs does not contain sufficient detail on the use of the funds to assess their effect on growth and land use patterns. The article recommends that Virginia consider land use impacts in administering current economic incentive programs by funding growth in locations that are designed to maximize benefits to the surrounding communities. Linda Breggin wrote a larger report, "Virginia Economic Incentives: Missed Opportunities for Sustainable Growth" on which this article is based, for the Environmental Law Institute in 2001.

description: CYP3A4, a major Phase I xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme present in liver, is also present in human small bowel epithelium where it appears to catalyse significant 'first pass' metabolism of some drugs. To determine whether CYP3A4 or the related enzymes CYP3A3, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7 are present in other regions of the digestive tract, we used CYP3A-specific antibodies to examine histological sections and epithelial microsomes obtained from a human organ donor. CYP3A-related proteins were detected in epithelia throughout the digestive tract and in gastric parietal cells, in pericentral hepatocytes, and in ductular cells of the pancreas. Immunoblot analysis suggested that the major CYP3A protein present in liver, jejunum, colon, and pancreas was CYP3A4 or CYP3A3, whereas CYP3A5 was the major protein present in stomach. Both CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 mRNA were detectable in all regions of the digestive tract using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR); however, only CYP3A4 could be detected by Northern blot analysis. CYP3A7 mRNA was consistently detected only in the liver by PCR and CYP3A3 mRNA was not detected in any of the tissues. We conclude that CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 are present throughout the human digestive tract and that differences in the expression of these enzymes may account for inter-organ differences in the metabolism of CYP3 A substrates.

description: The vanadium oxyfluoride [NH4]2[C7H14N][V7O6F18] (DQVOF) is a geometrically frustrated magnetic bilayer material. The structure consists of S=1/2 kagome planes of V4+ d1 ions with S=1 V3+ d2 ions located between the kagome layers. Muon spin relaxation measurements demonstrate the absence of spin freezing down to 40 mK despite an energy scale of 60 K for antiferromagnetic exchange interactions. From magnetization and heat capacity measurements we conclude that the S=1 spins of the interplane V3+ ions are weakly coupled to the kagome layers, such that DQVOF can be viewed as an experimental model for S=1/2 kagome physics, and that it displays a gapless spin liquid ground state.

description: We consider quantum quenches in integrable models. We argue that the behaviour of local observables at late times after the quench is given by their expectation values with respect to a single representative Hamiltonian eigenstate. This can be viewed as a generalization of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis to quantum integrable models. We present a method for constructing this representative state by means of a generalized Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (GTBA). Going further, we introduce a framework for calculating the time dependence of local observables as they evolve towards their stationary values. As an explicit example we consider quantum quenches in the transverse-field Ising chain and show that previously derived results are recovered efficiently within our framework.

description: The paper "Imaginary to Real Number" focuses on establishing a mathematical relationship between imaginary numbers and real numbers. Start by exploring the connection between these two sets of numbers, looking for a function or mapping that allows the transition from an imaginary number to its corresponding real number.Part I: Relationship between Imaginary and Real Numbers:The first component of the paper is dedicated to the investigation and derivation of a relationship that links imaginary numbers with real numbers.Part II: Function $f(n) = i^n$:Once the relationship between imaginary and real numbers is established, the paper delves into the study of the specific function $f(n) = i^n$. This function generates a circle by joining the values ​​of this function giving $n$ these values ​​$0, 1, 2, 3$. The analysis focuses on how this function behaves in the context of the previously discovered relationship.Conclusions and Applications:The paper concludes by summarizing the results obtained, highlighting the importance of the relationship discovered and providing possible applications or extensions of the research. It may also suggest future areas of study related to the interconnection between imaginary and real numbers.

description: A competition of incommensurate symmetries occurs whenever a system is forced to conform to an ordering that is different from the intrinsically preferred structure of the system itself. As a model system of such a competition, we study the rivalry between the triangular ordering of hard disks and the square symmetry induced by a periodic square substrate. By using density functional theory as well as Monte Carlo computer simulations, we determine the full phase behavior for the case of one particle per minimum. We observe a rhombic preordering structure preceding the hexagonal solid as a direct consequence of the competing symmetries. Furthermore, the square-rhombic transition is reentrant with increasing substrate interaction. Our predictions can be verified in experiments of colloids in laser fields.

description: Abstracts
                Background
                This study aimed to introduce recursively imputed survival trees into multistate survival models (MSRIST) to analyze these types of data and to identify the prognostic factors influencing the disease progression in patients with intermediate events. The proposed method is fully nonparametric and can be used for estimating transition probabilities.
                Methods
                A general algorithm was provided for analyzing multi-state data with a focus on the illness-death and progressive multi-state models. The model considered both beyond Markov and Non-Markov settings. We also proposed a multi-state random survival method (MSRSF) and compared their performance with the classical multi-state Cox model. We applied the proposed method to a dataset related to HIV/AIDS patients based on a retrospective cohort study extracted in Tehran from April 2004 to March 2014 consist of 2473 HIV-infected patients.
                Results
                The results showed that MSRIST outperformed the classical multistate method using Cox Model and MSRSF in terms of integrated Brier score and concordance index over 500 repetitions. We also identified a set of important risk factors as well as their interactions on different states of HIV and AIDS progression.
                Conclusions
                There are different strategies for modelling the intermediate event. We adapted two newly developed data mining technique (RSF and RIST) for multistate models (MSRSF and MSRIST) to identify important risk factors in different stages of the diseases. The methods can capture any complex relationship between variables and can be used as a useful tool for identifying important risk factors in different states of this disease.

description: We determine the frequency of regions of small-field inflation in the Wigner landscape as an approximation to random supergravities/type IIB flux compactifications. We show that small-field inflation occurs exponentially more often than large-field inflation The power of primordial gravitational waves from inflation is generically tied to the scale of inflation. For small-field models this is below observational reach. However, we find small-field inflation to be dominated by the highest inflationary energy scales compatible with a sub-Planckian field range. Hence, we expect a typical tensor-to-scalar ratio $r\sim {\cal O}(10^{-3})$ currently undetectable in upcoming CMB measurements.

description: Nuclear rings in barred galaxies are sites of active star formation. We use hydrodynamic simulations to study temporal and spatial behavior of star formation occurring in nuclear rings of barred galaxies where radial gas inflows are triggered solely by a bar potential. The star formation recipes include a density threshold, an efficiency, conversion of gas to star particles, and delayed momentum feedback via supernova explosions. We find that star formation rate (SFR) in a nuclear ring is roughly equal to the mass inflow rate to the ring, while it has a weak dependence on the total gas mass in the ring. The SFR typically exhibits a strong primary burst followed by weak secondary bursts before declining to very small values. The primary burst is associated with the rapid gas infall to the ring due to the bar growth, while the secondary bursts are caused by re-infall of the ejected gas from the primary burst. While star formation in observed rings persists episodically over a few Gyr, the duration of active star formation in our models lasts for only about a half of the bar growth time, suggesting that the bar potential alone is unlikely responsible for gas supply to the rings. When the SFR is low, most star formation occurs at the contact points between the ring and the dust lanes, leading to an azimuthal age gradient of young star clusters. When the SFR is large, on the other hand, star formation is randomly distributed over the whole circumference of the ring, resulting in no apparent azimuthal age gradient. Since the ring shrinks in size with time, star clusters also exhibit a radial age gradient, with younger clusters found closer to the ring. The cluster mass function is well described by a power law, with a slope depending on the SFR. Giant gas clouds in the rings have supersonic internal velocity dispersions and are gravitationally bound.
