description: Dating Ga(y)mes: Queer Performance in Farming-Simulation Roleplay Games examines the differing ways in which LGBTQ+ people resist hegemonic structures and perform their queer identity within video game franchises such as Harvest Moon, Story of Season, and Stardew Valley. This successful genre of games contains a highly identifiable and heteronormative formula in which players must run a farm and court a heterosexual partner. Despite their popularity, little scholarship exists on these games, from a critical queer perspective or otherwise. This lack of academic attention means that these games, despite their clear, shared structure, have not yet been deemed a specific genre of roleplaying games – much less studied as a site of queer resistance. From a queer gaming studies perspective, my paper asserts that these games do constitute an important gaming genre, Farming Simulation Roleplay Games (FSRPGs), particularly for LGBTQ+ players who ‘queer’ the technonormative matrix of these games and perform resistant identities. This paper first identifies the key characteristics of this genre classification, and then examines communications about the games, taking place in microblogs, blogs, and forum posts, by LGBTQ+ players. Analyzing online communications best informs this taxonomy as they detail the organic experience of LGBTQ+ players, either as they play or shortly after they finish, as well as the conversations between members of the community about resisting the games’ heteronormativity and, in some cases, how they work together to queer these games. Ultimately, this paper creates a taxonomy of how resistive ‘queerness’ is performed within these games. The results of the methodology conclude that users queerly play FSRPGs in five ways: [1] playing at the ‘opposite gender’ to achieve the desired dating outcome, [2] using affordances to explicitly play queerly, [3] using affordances to implicitly play queerly, [4] creating a headcanon, and [5] modding the game.

description: As a top quark factory, the LHC can test the new physics models used to explain the top quark forward-backward asymmetry A^t_FB measured at the Tevatron. In this work we perform a comparative study for two such models: the W'-model and the color triplet diquark (ϕ) model. Requiring these models to explain A^t_FB and also satisfy the top pair production rate measured at the Tevatron, we examine their contributions to the LHC observables such as the polarization and charge asymmetry in top quark and W' (or ϕ) productions. We find that these observables can be enhanced to the observable level and the current LHC measurement on the top charge asymmetry can already tightly constrain the W'-model. We also find that each observable shows different characteristics in different models, which can be utilized to discriminate the models.

description: Context: To date, more than 30 planets have been discovered around giant stars, but only one of them has been found to be orbiting within 0.6 AU from the host star, in direct contrast to what is observed for FGK dwarfs. This result suggests that evolved stars destroy/engulf close-in planets during the red giant phase. Aims: We are conducting a radial velocity survey of 164 bright G and K giant stars in the southern hemisphere with the aim of studying the effect of the host star evolution on the inner structure of planetary systems. In this paper we present the spectroscopic atmospheric parameters (\Teff, \logg, $ξ$, [Fe/H]) and the physical properties (mass, radius, evolutionary status) of the program stars. In addition, rotational velocities for all of our targets were derived. Methods: We used high resolution and high S/N spectra to measure the equivalent widths of many Fe{\sc\,i} and Fe{\sc\,ii} lines, which were used to derive the atmospheric parameters by imposing local thermodynamic and ionization equilibrium. The effective temperatures and metallicities were used, along with stellar evolutionary tracks to determine the physical properties and evolutionary status of each star. Results: We found that our targets are on average metal rich and they have masses between $\sim$\,1.0\,M$_\odot$ and 3.5\,M$_\odot$. In addition, we found that 122 of our targets are ascending the RGB, while 42 of them are on the HB phase.

description: We investigate the critical curve of the string tension sigma(T) as a function of temperature in quenched gauge invariant SU(3) lattice gauge theory. We extract sigma(T) from the colour averaged free energy of a static quark-antiquark pair. To compute the free energy, we utilize a pair of gauge invariant Polyakov loop and antiloop correlations, and apply the multihit procedure to enhance the signal to noise ratio. We find that the string tension departs from the zero temperature sigma(0) at T close to 0.5 Tc. We cover the relevant temperature range from 0.5 Tc up to the confinement temperature Tc using 57 different sets of pure gauge lattice configurations with four temporal extensions (4,6,8,12), different beta and a spatial volume of 48^3 in lattice units.

description: Das Polyzystische Ovarsyndrom ist die häufigste Hormonstörung der Frau im reproduktiven Alter. MicroRNas werden als potenzielle diagnostische Marker für das PCOS diskutiert. Wir untersuchten die Serumkonzentrationen von miR-27b, miR-141, miR-191, miR-222 und miR-433 mittels qPCR bei 49 Patientinnen im Verlauf der Kinderwunschbehandlung. Ergänzend wurden die Serumlevel zu klinischen Parametern korreliert. Die Serumlevel variierten unabhängig vom Vorliegen eines PCOS. Wir stellten einen signifikant höheren Serumlevel von miR-141 in der Gruppe der schwangeren Frauen fest (p=0,033). Des Weiteren gab es eine positive Korrelation zwischen dem Level von miR-191 und der Fertilisationsrate (p=0,009), sowie mehrere inverse Korrelationen zwischen den Leveln von miR-27b, miR-141 und miR-222 und Glukosestoffwechselparametern. Mittels Luciferase-Assay zeigten sich Hinweise auf die Regulation der potenziellen Zielgene TGFβ2/ IGF2 durch miR-141, sowie PLCD1/ EGR1 durch miR-191.

We investigated the serum levels of miR-27b, miR-141, miR-191, miR-222, and miR-433 by qPCR in 49 patients during fertility treatment. Additionally, serum levels were correlated to clinical parameters. Serum levels varied independently of the presence of PCOS. We found a significantly higher serum level of miR-141 in the group of pregnant women (p=0.033). Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between the level of miR-191 and the fertilization rate (p=0.009), as well as several inverse correlations between the levels of miR-27b, miR-141 and miR-222 and glucose metabolism parameters. In Luciferase assays, there was evidence of regulation of the potential target genes TGFβ2/ IGF2 by miR-141, and PLCD1/ EGR1 by miR-191.

description: This thesis focuses on the processing and characterization of organic semiconducting materials as well as the fabrication and characterization of thin films and organic photovoltaic devices. Chapter 1 gives an overview of the organic photovoltaics field, describing the basic mechanisms of the devices as well as the properties of the materials, and introducing examples of well-studied materials in the field. Chapter 2 explores some solid-state properties of the material tPDI2N-EH, with a focus on its behaviour related to solution processing and thin film formation when blended with an organic semiconducting polymer. Chapter 3 explores structural variations of tPDI2N-EH, namely tPDI2N-Hex, cy-tPDI2N-Hex and tPDI2N-cy, focusing on the effects of changing the side-chains of a perylene diimide dimer on the solid-state morphology and organic photovoltaics performance. Chapter 4 focuses on the topic of scalability of an organic photovoltaic system, exploiting the properties of the material tPDI2N-EH to fabricate organic photovoltaic devices that can be processed in industry-compatible conditions. Slot-die coating is introduced as the main element of transition from the laboratory to the industrial scale. Chapter 5 takes the system to an even higher practical setting, simplifying the structure of the polymeric material it is used with, and focusing on enhancing specific photovoltaic parameters that enable a practical, real-life application of organic photovoltaics: indoor light recycling, which represents the conclusion of the bulk of this thesis. A final effort to produce a high-performance system in fully industry-compatible conditions is reported in Appendix 1, where a known high-performance system is processed into organic photovoltaic devices removing all the limiting parts of the process.

Regional knowledge creation
Europe

description: Knowledge creation is the essential fundament for innovative regional activities, and therefore, is widely acknowledged as the driving force for regional socio-economic development. Hence, modelling the complexities of regional knowledge creation processes and analysing their determinants stimulates current scientific debates in the field of economic geography. Increasingly, particular interest is drawn to the role of inter-regional R&D networks to create, access and diffuse knowledge. In the vein of this research, the dissertation takes on new perspectives to advance the understanding of regional knowledge creation and R&D networks and their interplay – while particularly accounting for different kinds of heterogeneity.
 The overall aim of this dissertation is to identify and systematically characterise how R&D networks drive regional knowledge creation, accounting for (i) technological heterogeneity expressing technology-specific forms of knowledge creation, (ii) heterogeneity in modes of knowledge creation and knowledge output that refers to specific characteristics of the knowledge creation processes, and (iii) heterogeneity of research actors, reflected by, e.g. actor-specific knowledge endowments, collaboration rationales and research interests.
 Given the embedding in the state-of-the-art literature, the explicit methodological focus, and the strong empirical focus, the dissertation substantially contributes to the current scientific debate in economic geography, particularly to the stream exploring the geography of innovation. First, the dissertation provides statistical evidence that network connectivity is able to compensate for geographical barriers to R&D collaboration, though this compensation effect differs in magnitude across technological fields. Second, the results confirm a generally positive impact of R&D networks on regional knowledge creation, but for the first time unveil important differences across different modes of knowledge creation; network embeddedness is particularly important for knowledge creation in science-based fields. Third, spatial spillovers of network effects arise, i.e. being spatially proximate to highly networked regions is conducive for a region’s knowledge creation capability, in particular for more explorative modes of knowledge creation. Fourth, a novel empirical agent-based simulation model of regional knowledge creation demonstrates the potential of taking a simulation approach to entering new grounds in the investigation of regional knowledge production mechanisms.

description: We study the nonlinear $σ$-model in an external magnetic field applied on curved surfaces with rotational symmetry. The Euler-Lagrange equations derived from the Hamiltonian yield the double sine-Gordon equation (DSG) provided the magnetic field is tuned with the curvature of the surface. A $2π$ skyrmion appears like a solution for this model and surface deformations are predicted at the sector where the spins point in the opposite direction to the magnetic field. We also study some specific examples by applying the model on three rotationally symmetric surfaces: the cylinder, the catenoid and the hyperboloid. The coupling between a magnetic field and the curvature of the substract is an interesting result and we believe that this issue may be relevant to be applied in condensed matter systems, e.g., superconductors, nematic liquid crystals, graphene and topological insulators.

Why the traditional concept of local hardness does not work

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Finding a proper local measure of chemical hardness has been a long-standing aim of density functional theory. The traditional approach to defining a local hardness index, by the derivative of the chemical potential with respect to the electron density subject to the constraint of a fixed external potential, has raised several questions, and its chemical applicability has proved to be limited. Here, we point out that the only actual possibility to obtain a local hardness measure in the traditional approach emerges if the external potential constraint is dropped; consequently, utilizing the ambiguity of a restricted chemical potential derivative is not an option to gain alternative definitions of local hardness. At the same time, however, the arising local hardness concept turns out to be fatally undermined by its inherent connection with the asymptotic value of the second derivative of the universal density functional. The only other local hardness concept one may deduce from the traditional definition is the one that gives a constant value, the global hardness itself, throughout an electron system in its ground state. Consequently, the traditional approach is in principle incapable of delivering a local hardness indicator. The parallel case of defining a local version of the chemical potential itself is also outlined, arriving at a similar conclusion. Namely, the only local chemical potential concept that can be gained from a definition dE[n]/dn(r)|v is the one that gives a constant, mu itself, for electron systems in their ground state.

These aspects varies from the definition of SOA and key components of it, different forms of support given by elite software vendors to it, its evolution history, the relationship between it and web services, the future expectations about its uses and benefits in different organizations, the relationship between SOA and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), and various applications that can use it to overcome limitations related to other traditional methods. Moreover, challenges that face SOA in software market should be addressed and discussed in order to be able to see the big picture and to look for better solutions for them.

Estimating column density from ammonia (1,1) emission in star-forming regions

description: We present a new, approximate method of calculating the column density of ammonia in mapping observations of the 23 GHz inversion lines. The temperature regime typically found in star forming regions allows for the assumption of a slowly varying partition function for ammonia. It is therefore possible to determine the column density using only the (J=1,K=1) inversion transition rather than the typical combination of the (1,1) and (2,2) transitions, with additional uncertainties comparable to or less than typical observational error. The proposed method allows column density and mass estimates to be extended into areas of lower signal to noise ratio. We show examples of column density maps around a number of cores in the W3 and Perseus star-forming regions made using this approximation, along with a comparison to the corresponding results obtained using the full two-transition approach. We suggest that this method is a useful tool in studying the distribution of mass around YSOs, particularly in the outskirts of the protostellar envelope where the (2,2) ammonia line is often undetectable on the short timescales necessary for large area mapping.

Experimental and computational study of mixing behavior in stirred tanks equipped with side entry impellers
Creators: name: Sossa, Jaime Alberto
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The wide applicability of mechanically stirred tanks in industry demands a comprehensive understanding of the physical and chemical phenomena controlling the performance of these fundamental units. The rheological complexity of some industrial fluids can create unfavorable mixing environments like dead zones that limit the contact area among the components being mixed. Also, the complex three dimensional nature of the flow generated by the impellers makes difficult the prediction of the flow properties, especially when the fluid viscosity is a function of the shear rate. Some research groups have investigated mixing flow of these kinds of fluids in conventional stirred tanks with top-entry impellers. But, little has been done to characterize the flow behavior in tanks with side-entry impellers. In order to improve our understanding and provide insight into the flow mixing occurring in stirred tanks with side entry impellers, the flow field generated by different impellers in scale-down vessels filled with glycerine and carbopol solutions, was studied using the flow visualization technique, particle image velocimetry (PIV). Moreover, a computational model was built to predict flow variables and mixing characteristics unattainable with the experimental technique. The capabilities of the model were evaluated based on the velocity fields obtained experimentally. Good agreement was found between the predicted and measured macroscale flow structures and global mixing parameters. However, the models were unable to predict the symmetric flow observed during the experiments at high rotational speeds, likely due to the approach taken to simulate the flow, which provides a steady state velocity profile for one specific impeller location Overall the results showed the formation of dead zones and segregated regions when mixing the non-Newtonian solutions. The size of the dynamic regions and the average velocity near the impeller were improved by increasing the suction area. Likewise, large pitch ratios were found to enhance the active mixing zone and the axial discharge. While, radial discharge and a strong tangential flow arose when the viscous forces dominate the flow. In conclusion, the flow features were defined by the Reynolds number in the vicinity of the impeller and the restrictions imposed by the walls of the vessel.

description: Public transport is an important part of modern mobility. From an operational point of view, public transport consists of many individual components that make up a complex time-dependent system of transport services, based on a timetable, car circulation and staff scheduling. Most of these components are susceptible to disruption. This work is about targeting the effects of disruptions. When they occur, dispatchers try to ensure that the damage is minimised. In this thesis, tool for traveler-focused connection support for holding connections (PANDA) is developed. In the second part of this thesis, the robustness of timetables is optimised with the help of empirical robustness tests. Here, more robust solutions are to be generated during the optimisation of creating timetables with the help of machine learning.

description: Recent measurements on MgV$_2$O$_4$ single crystal have reignited the debate on the role of spin-orbit (SO) coupling in dictating the orbital order in Vanadium spinel systems. Density functional theory calculations were performed using the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method within the local spin density approximation (LSDA), Coulomb correlated LSDA+U, and with SO interaction (LSDA+U+SO) to study the magnetic and orbital ordering in low temperature phase of MgV$_2$O$_4$. It is observed that the spin-orbit coupling in the experimentally observed antiferromagnetic phase, affects the orbital order differently in alternate V-atom chains along c-axis. This observation is found to be consistent with the experimental prediction that the effect of spin-orbit coupling is intermediate between that in case of ZnV$_2$O$_4$ and MnV$_2$O$_4$.

description: Critical analysis of Canada’s recruitment for the war effort can be grouped around three main themes. The first is the government’s attempt to raise an expeditionary force that proved too large to be maintained by voluntary enlistment. As a result, conscription for overseas service had to be imposed, creating enduring rifts between regions and linguistic groups. The second is the insufficient level of enlistment among Canadian-born men. The third is the low enlistment rate among French-Canadians, which was a national embarrassment. This paper examines the regional patterns of enlistment, evaluates the arguments advanced to explain French-Canadian ambivalence to the war, and concludes that conscription was necessary.

description: This research comprehensively analyzes plant-produced recombinant bacteriocins, colicins and salmocins (colicin-like bacteriocins from Salmonella), addressing the escalating demand for innovative antimicrobials. The introduced salmocins demonstrate high efficacy against 36 significant Salmonella pathovars. Based on dissertation data, salmocins have achieved broad patent recognition and GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status for their use against Salmonella in food safety interventions. Additionally, we report a substantial reduction in resistance rates of E. coli DH10B through the use of colicin mixtures. A series of novel bacteriocin chimeras, engineered via domain swapping between colicins and salmocins, showed considerable activity against STEC and Salmonella strains. Despite confounding factors in an animal study, initial indications suggest a potential for colicins in treating post-weaning diarrhea in piglets.
description: Diese Forschung analysiert umfassend in Pflanzen produzierte rekombinante Bakteriozine, Colicine und Salmocine (Colicin-ähnliche Bakteriozine aus Salmonella), um die Nachfrage nach neuen antimikrobiellen Wirkstoffen zu erfüllen. Die eingeführten Salmocine zeigen eine hohe Wirksamkeit gegen 36 bedeutenden Salmonella-Pathovaren. Basierend auf Dissertationsergebnissen erhielten Salmocine breite Patentanerkennung und GRAS-Status für den Einsatz gegen Salmonella in der Lebensmittelsicherheit. Durch die Verwendung von Colicin-Mixturen konnte eine erhebliche Reduktion der Resistenzraten von E. coli DH10B erreicht werden. Eine Reihe von neuen Bakteriozin-Chimeren, entwickelt durch den Austausch von Domänen zwischen Colicinen und Salmocinen, zeigten eine signifikante Aktivität gegen STEC- und Salmonella-Stämme. Erste Anzeichen weisen trotz Störfaktoren in einer Tierstudie auf ein Potenzial von Colicinen zur Behandlung von Durchfall nach dem Absetzen bei Ferkeln hin.

Histone glycation during ageing : identification and functional characterization of glycation sites
Creators: name: Urazova, Arina

description: Histones are long-lived proteins that are rich in lysine (K) and arginine (R) residues. Both carry various post-translational modifications (PTMs) that play a key role in epigenetic regulation. Glycation of K and R residues tends to accumulate with age in long-lived proteins, competes with other PTMs, and causes chemical and structural changes that might interfere with epigenetic regulation. We identified 35 and 25 glycation sites in histones from cultured primary cells and human heart tissues, respectively. H2BK43CML and H3K79CEL are validated using specific antibodies. No difference in AGE level was observed between young vs. senescent cells, low vs. high glucose, and younger (<50 y. o.) vs. older (>80 y. o.) patients. CML-mimicking H2BK43Q substitution decreases the melting t˚ of the nucleosomes by ~2˚˚ C, decreasing their stability. Hence, glycation in histones might impair chromatin structure and stability, potentially affecting gene transcription.
description: Histone sind langlebige Proteine, die reich an Lysin (K) und Arginin (R) sind. Deren posttranslationale Modifikationen (PTMs) spielen eine Schlüsselrolle bei der epigenetischen Regulierung. Glykierung von K- und R-Aminosäuren akkumuliert sich mit zunehmendem Alter, konkurriert mit anderen PTMs und verursacht chemische und strukturelle Veränderungen, die die epigenetische Regulierung beeinträchtigen können. Wir haben 35 bzw. 25 Glykierungsstellen in Histonen aus kultivierten Zellen und menschlichem Herzgewebe identifiziert. H2BK43CML und H3K79CEL wurden mit spezifischen Antikörpern validiert. Es wurde kein Unterschied im AGE-Niveau zwischen jungen und alternden Zellen, niedrigem und hohem Glukosegehalt und Patienten <50 Jahre und >80 Jahre festgestellt. Die CML-nachahmende H2BK43Q-Substitution senkt den Schmelzpunkt der Nukleosomen um ~2˚ C, wodurch ihre Stabilität abnimmt. Daher könnte die Glykierung von Histonen die Chromatinstabilität beeinträchtigen, was sich auf die Gentranskription auswirken kann.

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit war, den Metabolismus von Histamin am Herzen zu untersuchen. Dazu erfolgten Kontraktionsversuche an isolierten Vorhöfen von transgenen Mäusen mit einer überexprimierung des humanen H2-Histamin-Rezeptors. Am Herzen besitzt Histamin einen positiv inotropen und positiv chronotropen Effekt. Die Synthese von Histamin aus seinem Vorläufer Histidin konnte nicht dargestellt werden. Durch die Gabe von verschiedenen Inhibitoren der abbauenden Enzyme wurde die Wirkung von Histamin an den isolierten Vorhofpräparaten beeinflusst. Untersucht wurden der Diaminoxidase-Hemmer Aminoguanidin, der N-Methyltransferase-Hemmer Quinacrin und der unspezifische Monoaminoxidase Hemmer Tranylcypromin. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit deuten darauf hin, dass es am Herzen einen Metabolismus von Histamin gibt und bilden somit eine Basis für weitere Untersuchungen zum Einfluss von Histamin am Herzen und die Erforschung neuer therapeutischer Möglichkeiten bei kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen.
description: The aim of this work was to investigate the metabolism of histamine in the heart. For this purpose, contraction experiments were performed on isolated atria of transgenic mice overexpressing the human H2-histamine receptor. At the heart, histamine has a positive inotropic and positive chronotropic effect. The synthesis of histamine from its precursor histidine could not be demonstrated. Administration of various inhibitors of the degrading enzymes affected the action of histamine on the isolated atrial preparations. The diamine oxidase inhibitor aminoguanidine, the N-methyltransferase inhibitor quinacrine, and the nonspecific monoamine oxidase inhibitor tranylcypromine were studied. The results of this work suggest that there is a metabolism of histamine at the heart and thus provide a basis for further studies on the influence of histamine at the heart and the exploration of new therapeutic options in cardiovascular diseases.

description: The TCP-MD5 option is most commonly used to secure BGP sessions between routers.  However, changing the long-term key is difficult, since the change needs to be synchronized between different organizations.  We describe single-ended strategies that will permit (mostly) unsynchronized key changes.

New insights into nuclear/cytoplasmic partitioning and posttranslational activation of Arabidopsis PI4P 5 kinases

Subjects: subject: 570

description: The signaling lipid PtdIns(4,5)P2 effects a variety of cellular processes. PI4P 5-kinases such as Arabidopsis thaliana PIP5K1 and PIP5K2 are responsible for the production of PtdIns(4,5)P2. They are present at different subcellular locations such as the plasma membrane and the nucleus. Nuclear localization of PIP5K1 and PIP5K2 appears to be dynamic and is not observed in cells of all plant tissues. The activity and localization of PI4P 5 kinases has been reported to be regulated by PTMs including protein phosphorylation. Here, we report that Casein Kinase II subunit CKA3 interacts and phosphorylates specifically PIP5K1 in its N-terminus, which increases catalytical activity of PIP5K1 in vitro. The protein kinase PINOID of the AGCVIII protein kinase family interacts and phosphorylates PIP5K1 and PIP5K2. PIP5K2 is phosphorylated in the variable linker domain within the NLS region which activates PIP5K2 in vitro and might interfere with NLS function.
description: PtdIns(4,5)P2 ist ein Signallipid und beeinflusst diverse zelluläre Prozesse. PI4 5-Kinasen wie PIP5K1 und PIP5K2 aus Arabidopsis thaliana katalysieren die Produktion von PtdIns(4,5)P2 und wurden in verschiedenen subzellulären Kompartimenten, wie der Plasmamembran und dem Zellkern, detektiert. PI4P 5-Kinasen zeigen eine duale Lokalisation, wobei die Kernlokalisation nicht in allen Geweben und Zelltypen detektiert werden konnte. Lokalisation und Aktivität von PI4P 5-Kinasen wird von PTMs wie Proteinphosphorylierungen reguliert. Wir zeigen hier, dass die Casein Kinase II Untereinheit CKA3 spezifisch PIP5K1 im N-Terminus phosphoryliert, was die katalytische Aktivität von PIP5K1 erhöht. Zudem wurde die AGVIII Proteinkinase PINOID als Interaktionspartner und Upstream-Kinase von PIP5K1 und PIP5K2 identifiziert. PINOID phosphoryliert PIP5K2 in der variablen Linker Domäne innerhalb einer NLS was die katalytische Aktivität steigert und möglicherweise die subzelluläre Lokalisation beeinflusst.
Standards Maturity Variance Regarding the TCP MD5 Signature Option (RFC 2385) and the BGP-4 Specification

Subjects: Computer science

description: The IETF Standards Process requires that all normative references for a document be at the same or higher level of standardization. RFC 2026 section 9.1 allows the IESG to grant a variance to the standard practices of the IETF. This document explains why the IESG is considering doing so for the revised version of the BGP-4 specification, which refers normatively to RFC 2385, "Protection of BGP Sessions via the TCP MD5 Signature Option". RFC 2385 will remain at the Proposed Standard level.
