description: Background: Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is increasingly used in the field of oncology. Many of the mechanisms of action of CAP, such as inhibiting proliferation, DNA breakage, or the destruction of cell membrane integrity, have been investigated in many different types of tumors. In this regard, data are available from both in vivo and in vitro studies. Not only the direct treatment of a tumor but also the influence on its blood supply play a decisive role in the success of the therapy and the patient’s further prognosis. Whether the CAP influences this process is unknown, and the first indications in this regard are addressed in this study. Methods: Two different devices, kINPen and MiniJet, were used as CAP sources. Human endothelial cell line HDMEC were treated directly and indirectly with CAP, and growth kinetics were performed. To indicate apoptotic processes, caspase-3/7 assay and TUNEL assay were used. The influence of CAP on cellular metabolism was examined using the MTT and glucose assay. After CAP exposure, tube formation assay was performed to examine the capillary tube formation abilities of HDMEC and their migration was messured in separate assays. To investigate in a possible mutagenic effect of CAP treatment, a hypoxanthine-guanine-phosphoribosyl-transferase assay with non malignant cell (CCL-93) line was performed. Results: The direct CAP treatment of the HDMEC showed a robust growth-inhibiting effect, but the indirect one did not. The MMT assay showed an apparent reduction in cell metabolism in the first 24 h after CAP treatment, which appeared to normalize 48 h and 72 h after CAP application. These results were also confirmed by the glucose assay. The caspase 3/7 assay and TUNEL assay showed a significant increase in apoptotic processes in the HDMEC after CAP treatment. These results were independent of the CAP device. Both the migration and tube formation of HDMEC were significant inhibited after CAP-treatment. No malignant effects could be demonstrated by the CAP treatment on a non-malignant cell line. © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

description: Constitutional crises in Fiji and Solomon Islands and donor concerns about ‘good governance’ raise older questions about the appropriateness of introduced constitutions to local conditions. The paper analyses the process of transfer of ‘Westminster’ constitutions in island states of the Pacific. It considers the role of consultants, and the factors that facilitated or constrained transfer into and within the region. It also identifies cases where alternatives to Westminster were considered but rejected by local leaders. The paper concludes that Westminster has been spread by replication, almost irrespective of underlying social and political conditions. The ‘Westminster model’ was often said to be inappropriate for the countries upon which it was foisted at Independence. When decolonisation came to the South Pacific in the 1960s and 1970s, there were efforts to adapt ‘Westminster’ to local circumstances. Nevertheless, introduced institutions, and their incompatibility with indigenous ones, are still often blamed for political and economic problems in the region. Fiji’s first coup in 1987 led to reflections that democracy might be a ‘foreign flower’ unable to survive in foreign soil. Similar reflections followed George Speight’s attempted coup in Fiji in May 2000. Concern about the appropriateness of introduced institutions has become pervasive during the 1990s, as aid donors, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank have become convinced that ‘institutions matter’, and have been promoting a single vision of ‘good governance’ across different countries in the region. The paper considers the issue as one of ‘transfer’ which may involve borrowing as well as coercion. The process of transfer of Australian institutions to Papua New Guinea (PNG), for example, has been characterised as a kind of transplanting. It may lead to rejection, or failure of a transplant to take. The paper is organised around a series of questions devised by Dolowitz and Marsh to analyse the transfer of policies. They ask when does transfer take place, for example as a result of a crisis, or change of government; why does it take place, particularly was it forced or voluntary; who was involved, including ‘policy entrepreneurs’; and what was transferred? They go on to ask about the degree of transfer and the factors that constrained or facilitated it. These questions are broad enough to include other ways in which the transfer of Westminster constitutions can be analysed: as a matter of the ‘diffusion of innovations’ or of the ‘reception of laws’, or the ‘social conditions for democracy’.

description: To contribute to a better understanding of the determinants of climate-friendly organizational behavior, we study the potential of behavioral policy interventions and social norms to foster individual contributions to organizational decarbonization initiatives. We investigate the effects of different types of behavioral policy interventions (default nudges vs. short-term boosts) in isolation and when they are combined with normative appeals to adopt climate-friendly behaviors in an organizational context. In a 2 × 2 between-subjects experiment, we find that default nudges generally induced higher individual contributions to organizational carbon compensation programs than short-term boosts. Moreover, injunctive social norm information decreased the effectiveness of both types of behavioral interventions but affected the effectiveness of short-term boosts to a stronger extent than the effectiveness of default nudges. Contributing to the nascent literature on motivating climate change mitigating behaviors in organizational contexts, we additionally explore whether factors such as personality traits, pro-social and pro-environmental beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, and the degree of organizational identification exert an influence on the effectiveness of the interventions and provide qualitative insights into participants’ reasoning for their decisions.
Influences of climate, landscape and vegetation proximity on the spatial distribution of the Tasmanian Eucalyptus leaf beetle, Paropsisterna bimaculata in Tasmanian Eucalyptus plantations
Creators: name: Edgar, SC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The distribution of the beetle Paropsisterna bimaculata was related to 33 environmental covariates distributed across in Tasmania. This beetle is an economic pest in Eucalyptus plantations, episodically occurring in large aggregations that damage tree canopies through overgrazing. A number of hypotheses relating to beetle outbreaks have been proposed by various researchers. Random forest modelling, a powerful non-parametric statistical approach that has not been frequently applied before in ecology, was used to assess specific predictions of these hypotheses. The models were developed using landscape layers and proximity to vegetation layers that were created using GIS for multiple combinations of climate variables and districts. The climate combinations assessed included: (1) mean summer maximum temperature and summer rainfall for survey years, (2) 30 year average for mean summer maximum and summer rainfall, (3) 30 year average for climate variables, (4) 30 year average for climate variables and mean summer maximum temperature and summer rainfall for survey years. The district combinations included all districts, Bass only, and all districts excluding Bass. Locations less than 10 kilometres from Poa grasslands showed highest beetle numbers, while increasing elevation also showed a strong positive relationship with P. bimaculata populations, and mean annual summer rainfall and survey year were important in the district of Bass. Thus, in terms of prior hypotheses, Poa appears to be an important overwintering site for P. bimaculata; beetle populations increase with elevation; beetle populations increase with age of plantation between 2 and 8 years; and Bass has greater variability than other districts in beetle density. Model outputs did not support, or only weakly supported, hypotheses that suggest beetle numbers are highest at highly productive sites, and are affected by the shape and size of forestry coupes and by plantation species. The random forests model with least error was based on all districts except Bass for thirty-year climate average data plus summer mean rainfall and summer mean maximum temperature data. A cost-benefit analysis nevertheless indicated that directing the ongoing beetle survey effort on the basis of model outputs would not reduce costs compared to the current broad-scale monitoring program. The model did, iv however, generate state-level maps of value to forestry workers when assessing the likelihood of beetle outbreaks in their districts.

description: Despite continuous advances in therapy, malignant melanoma is still among the deadliest types of cancer. At the same time, owing to its high plasticity and immunogenicity, melanoma is regarded as a model tumor entity when testing new treatment approaches. Cold physical plasma is a novel anticancer tool that utilizes a plethora of reactive oxygen species (ROS) being deposited on the target cells and tissues. To test whether plasma treatment would enhance the toxicity of an established antitumor therapy, ionizing radiation, we combined both physical treatment modalities targeting B16F10 murine melanoma cell in vitro. Repeated rather than single radiotherapy, in combination with gas plasma-introduced ROS, induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in an additive fashion. In tendency, gas plasma treatment sensitized the cells to subsequent radiotherapy rather than the other way around. This was concomitant with increased levels of TNFa, IL6, and GM-CSF in supernatants. Murine JAWS dendritic cells cultured in these supernatants showed an increased expression of cell surface activation markers, such as MHCII and CD83. For PD-L1 and PD-L2, increased expression was observed. Our results are the first to suggest an additive therapeutic effect of gas plasma and radiotherapy, and translational tumor models are needed to develop this concept further. © 2020 by the authors.

title: Opinions of Secondary School Principals in Regard to the Intramural Activities Program in High Schools of Utah
Creators: name: Allen, Thair G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1954

description: Intramural activity programs, as employed in the modern American high school, represent a very recent and fast growing development. In early colonial days youth was necessarily absorbed in helping to build a new nation out of the wilderness. Clearing forests, building homes, and handling heavy chores were some of the tasks of which youths were an important part. They had little leisure time for play. In the modern age of today, with its frontiers established, students who are attending high school have ample leisure time for play. The director of this play into wholesome avenues is the problem that faces physical educators today.
John Keats the poet as mythmaker : a study in the theory and composition of mythological poetry
Creators: name: Blott, Stewart Gordon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis is a study in the theory and composition of mythological poetry in the work of John Keats. This subject Is introduced in chapter I with an examination of the “Ode to Psyche.” The argument of the Ode Is Important for its definition of the poet as a mythmaker and its equation of poetry and Myth. Chapter II consists of definitions of mythological poetry and myth. Mythological poetry includes poems which merely allude or refer to myth poems which reproduce received myth, poems which reinterpret and revitalize inert myth, and poems which are original creations of myth. Myth is defined as a verbal construction having special significance as a way of defining the relationship between man and his environment through the creation of the supernatural by projecting the human form upon the inhuman world which has personal, social, and universal relevance, and may be the composition of an individual, in this case Keats; and in which, in accordance with their special significance, the narrative or theme, the characters, action, time, setting and form are stylized or archetypal. In chapter III, I examine the Intellectual context in which Keats formed his conceptions of poetry and myth and composed his mythological poetry. Influences on, and correspondences to Keats’ theory and practice are identified in a historical survey of the theories and practices of his predecessors and contemporaries, and with some reference to Keats’ biography. Chapter IV If consists of an examination of Keats’ theoretical approach to poetry and myth. Considering Keats’ poems and letters as theoretical statements only, I illustrate the correspondences between his concept of poetry and the definition of myth which I made in chapter II. Keats writings also contain explicit identifications of poetry and myth and the poets that Keats most admired are composers of mythological poetry. Keats laments the passing of the golden age of poetry, but he offers his own poetry as a substitution for the works of the vanished golden age. He has declared that poetry is myth and that he, himself, will be a mythmaker. In chapter V I conclude my thesis with a demonstration of Keats' development as a mythmaker through an examination of some of his mythological poetry. This development is an alteration from his early and derivative references to inert myth, through increasingly original reproductions and Interpretations of received myth, to a final approach to the original creation of vital myth in the "Ode to Autumn.”

Because of the absence of the electromagnetic Meissner effect, forming a nonspherical CSC phase, polar, A or planar, does not cost energy of excluding magnetic flux. We found that these nonspherical phases do occupy a significant portion of the phase diagram with respect to magnetic field and temperature and may be implemented under the typical quark density and the magnetic field inside a compact star.

description: It is usually recognized that, in the broad sense, our public schools are maintained for the instruction of children and youth. Moreover, there appear to be three important factors which bear directly upon the nature of this instruction: (1) the individuals who enter the teaching profession, the kinds of people they are, their physical, emotional and mental characteristics or capacities; (2) the kind of education these potential educators receive in preparation for their professional work; and, (3) the actual teaching assignment the individual receives in the particular school where he is employed. Commonly, these three matters are referred to as teacher recruitment, education and assignment.

description: Antimicrobial coating of implant material with poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) may be an eligible method for preventing implant-associated infections. In the present study, an antibacterial effective amount of PHMB is adsorbed on the surface of titanium alloy after simple chemical pretreatment. Either oxidation with 5% H2O2 for 24 hr or processing for 2 hr in 5 M NaOH provides the base for the subsequent formation of a relatively stable self-assembled PHMB layer. Compared with an untreated control group, adsorbed PHMB produces no adverse effects on SaOs-2 cells within 48 hr cell culture, but promotes the initial attachment and spreading of the osteoblasts within 15 min. Specimens were inoculated with slime-producing bacteria to simulate a perioperative infection. Adsorbed PHMB reacts bactericidally against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa after surface contact. Adhered SaOs-2 cells differentiate and produce alkaline phosphatase and deposit calcium within 4 days in a mineralization medium on PHMB-coated Ti6Al4V surfaces, which have been precontaminated with S. epidermidis. The presented procedures provide a simple method for generating biocompatibly and antimicrobially effective implant surfaces that may be clinically important. © 2019 The Authors.

description: In this work, we explore the "degenerate gravitino" scenario where the mass difference between the gravitino and the lightest MSSM particle is much smaller than the gravitino mass itself. In this case, the energy released in the decay of the next to lightest sypersymmetric particle (NLSP) is reduced. Consequently the cosmological and astrophysical constraints on the gravitino abundance, and hence on the reheating temperature, become softer than in the usual case. On the other hand, such small mass splittings generically imply a much longer lifetime for the NLSP. We find that, in the constrained MSSM (CMSSM), for neutralino LSP or NLSP, reheating temperatures compatible with thermal leptogenesis are reached for small splittings of order 10^{-2} GeV. While for stau NLSP, temperatures of 4x10^9 GeV can be obtained even for splittings of order of tens of GeVs. This "degenerate gravitino" scenario offers a possible way out to the gravitino problem for thermal leptogenesis in supersymmetric theories.

description: The existence of thresholdless vortex solitons trapped at the core of disclination lattices that realize higher-order topological insulators is reported. The study demonstrates the interplay between nonlinearity and higher-order topology in these systems, as the vortex state in the disclination lattice bifurcates from its linear topological counterpart, while the position of its propagation constant within the bandgap and localization can be controlled by its power. It is shown that vortex solitons are characterized by strong field confinement at the disclination core due to their topological nature, leading to enhanced stability. Simultaneously, the global discrete rotational symmetry of the disclination lattice imposes restrictions on the maximal possible topological charge of such vortex solitons. The results illustrate the strong stabilizing action that topologically nontrivial structures may exert on excited soliton states, opening new prospects for soliton-related applications.

description: Deaths and injuries are a major cost in transportation. Transportation fatalities rank third as the cause of lost years of life in the U.S. (behind heart disease and cancer. But the Department of Transportation has not yet responded to this public health threat by developing data programs as capable as those used in the federal medical community. This plan aims to improve the quality of safety data programs throughout the Department of Transportation. Our principal model for improvement is the reporting system used by the National Institutes of Health to track and treat disease, and this requires better timeliness, comparability, accuracy, and coverage for transportation data. Our goal is to provide DOT with a new level of data quality, sufficient to identify, quantify, and minimize the risk factors in U.S. travel. This quality is essential to fact-based management of transportation safety programs. The Safety in Numbers project directly supports the DOT Strategic Safety Goal-"Promote the public health and safety by working toward the elimination of transportation-related deaths, injuries, and property damage." The plan is divided into two sections. Section 1 describes the actions that need to be taken to improve the quality of existing data and fill data gaps. Section 2 describes a process for involving all stakeholders in the process.
title: The Response of Barley to Soil Moisture Tension and Fertilization
Creators: name: Agah, Mahmood
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1955

description: Barley is one of the important crops in many of the irrigated regions of the world. It is an important crop in Iran for both human consumption and livestock feed. In the United States and Europe it is used for livestock feed and beverages.
The income from this crop is moderate in comparison to that from other major agricultural products.
Barley production has a definite place in the economy of the region, because it requires only a small amount of care. It can be readily grown on poor lands. One of the factors contributing to the increased acreage of barley in many countries is the tolerance and adaptability of this plant to salt and poor or second class land. Yields have been increased materially in recent years with the development of new varieties superior to the standard varieties previously used. Better cultural practices are improving yields, but much remains to be done in this phase of the work.

description: The people of Utah saw the first federal military installation established in the area almost a century ago. They were not pleased in 1857 when they heard that President Buchanan was sending some 2500 soldiers to set up camp in the Salt Lake Valley. As the troops approached the Territory, every available means was used to resist their advance. Trenches and other defenses were prepared and all forage burned on the routes to the Valley to hamper or prevent their approach (17, p.303). When the troops arrived in 1858 they were permitted to enter the territory of Utah without further resistance. But an express condition of the peaceful reception was that their camp be established at least 40 miles from Salt Lake City (17, p.308).

description: We present the first detailed simulations of the head-tail effect relevant to directional Dark Matter searches. Investigations of the location of the majority of the ionization charge as being either at the beginning half (tail) or at the end half (head) of the nuclear recoil track were performed for carbon and sulphur recoils in 40 Torr negative ion carbon disulfide and for fluorine recoils in 100 Torr carbon tetrafluoride. The SRIM simulation program was used, together with a purpose-written Monte Carlo generator, to model production of ionizing pairs, diffusion and basic readout geometries relevant to potential real detector scenarios, such as under development for the DRIFT experiment. The results clearly indicate the existence of a head-tail track asymmetry but with a magnitude critically influenced by two competing factors: the nature of the stopping power and details of the range straggling. The former tends to result in the tail being greater than the head and the latter the reverse.

description: When applying T-duality to a generic, non-extreme Killing horizon, T-duality is spacelike on one side and timelike on the other. We show, using simple examples from four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory, that the image of the horizon is a singularity which can be understood as an interface between two different T-dual theories and their solutions. Using an embedding into type-II string theory, we show that the singularity occurs when scalars reach the boundary of moduli space, resulting in a breakdown of the effective field theory due to the presence of tensionless strings.

'We grew up this place' : Ernabella Mission 1937-1974
Creators: name: Pybus, CA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Since the 1960s revisionist Australian histories have sought to redress the perceived imbalance of earlier accounts. These histories have predominantly argued that invasion and dispossession typify contact between Aborigines and settler Australians. Concerning contact between missionaries and Aborigines, missionaries are held to be largely responsible not only for the dispossession of Aboriginal spirituality, but for the current dysfunction at many former mission sites. Furthermore, much scholarly work and commentary over the last three decades assumes a crude binarism in respect to Aboriginal religious beliefs and Christianity. Traditional, or classical Aboriginal belief systems and adherence to the Christian faith are held to be antithetical. Implicitly more than explicitly, but apparent nevertheless, is the accompanying understanding that Christian beliefs displace Aboriginality. Aborigines, therefore, are either spiritually traditional or Christian, not both. That is, to be authentically Aboriginal one cannot be Christian and vice versa. While revisionist studies have been useful in contesting earlier assessments of the mission era, they have become established as yet another orthodoxy. Much evidence suggests that the interface between missions, Christianity and Aborigines is more nuanced than this new orthodoxy permits. Taking its cue from this evidence, this thesis investigates the premise that many Aboriginal people find Christianity important and that their belief in Christianity is a legitimate expression of Aboriginality. This thesis challenges the dominant reading of missionary impact through a case study of the contact between Presbyterian missionaries and Pitjantjatjara people at Ernabella Mission (1937 to 1974) in the far north-west of South Australia. A close reading of archival material from Ernabella and recollections of Pitjantjatjara people who associated with the mission reveal that missionaries at Ernabella attempted to preserve tribal life through a policy of minimal intervention, that the presence of the mission and its policy allowed Pitjantjatjara people to remain connected to their country, and that Pitjantjatjara people exercised agency in their relationships with missionaries and in their engagement with Christianity. This research found that at Ernabella (and elsewhere) those who are Elders of the church are most often those also responsible for upholding traditional Law. The alleged boundaries, therefore, and dislocation between Aborigines and Christianity, are not so clearly defined. Throughout the mission era Aboriginal people expressed Christianity in myriad and innovative ways and have continued to do so in the post-mission era. Recognising this, studies of other missions may also find histories which contest the established position.

description: Following on our initial absorption-line analysis of fifteen novae spectra we present additional evidence for the existence of two distinct components of novae ejecta having different origins. As argued in Paper I one component is the rapidly expanding gas ejected from the outer layers of the white dwarf by the outburst. The second component is pre-existing outer, more slowly expanding circumbinary gas that represents ejecta from the secondary star or accretion disk. We present measurements of the emission-line widths that show them to be significantly narrower than the broad P Cygni profiles that immediately precede them. The emission profiles of novae in the nebular phase are distinctly rectangular, i.e., strongly suggestive of emission from a relatively thin, roughly spherical shell. We thus interpret novae spectral evolution in terms of the collision between the two components of ejecta, which converts the early absorption spectrum to an emission-line spectrum within weeks of the outburst. The narrow emission widths require the outer circumbinary gas to be much more massive than the white dwarf ejecta, thereby slowing the latter's expansion upon collision. The presence of a large reservoir of circumbinary gas at the time of outburst is suggestive that novae outbursts may sometime be triggered by collapse of gas onto the white dwarf, as occurs for dwarf novae, rather than steady mass transfer through the inner Lagrangian point.

description: Each person in education from the Commissioner of Education down to the classroom teacher is concerned with administration. Each has administrative duties. The way these duties are conducted and carried out will have a direct influence on the outcome of any physical education program and each child within this program.
Through the Tenth amendment responsibility for the administration of education has been turned over to the various states. Most of the states through their constitutions place the responsibility upon the legislature to provide for organization and maintenance of public school systems. This body then draws up the statutory laws and provisions to which the state, district and local boards must conform. The state and local boards make additional rules and regulations with which each district and school must abide.

description: Addressing protracted displacement has been a major concern since the beginning of an international refugee protection regime in the 1920s. The search for solutions has been a central theme ever since.
 In a historical perspective, efforts to resolve protracted displacement have been diverse, being devised in response to both domestic and international constraints and opportunities.The term “durable solutions” is of more recent origin. It came to be used more frequently from the late 1990s onwards, in conjunction with the notion of “protracted displacement”, a term coined by the UNHCR to denote situations “in which refugees find themselves in a long-lasting and intractable state of limbo”. TRAFIG Practice Note No. 2 highlights four main points: Employment and political considerations have been central for resettlement in the past. Imposing solutions top-down has never been particularly successful. Camps and other place-based solutions limit rather than open up opportunities. Mobility and connectivity can be a resource for displaced persons.

description: Spatial quantitative information about magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) distributions is a prerequisite for biomedical applications like magnetic hyperthermia and magnetic drug targeting. This information can be gathered by means of magnetorelaxometry (MRX) imaging, where the relaxation of previously aligned MNP’s magnetic moments is measured by sensitive magnetometers and an inverse problem is solved. To remove or minimize the magnetic shielding in which MRX imaging is carried out today, the knowledge of the influence of background magnetic fields on the MNP’s relaxation is a prerequisite. We show MRX measurements using an intensity-modulated optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) in background magnetic fields of up to 100μT. We show that the relaxation parameters alter or may be intentionally altered significantly by applying static fields parallel or antiparallel to the MNP’s alignment direction. Further, not only the relaxation process of the MNP’s magnetic moments could be measured with OPM, but also their alignment due to the MRX excitation field. © 2020, The Author(s).

description: Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have raised concerns about their potential to create convincing fake social media accounts, but empirical evidence is lacking. In this paper, we present a systematic analysis of Twitter (X) accounts using human faces generated by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for their profile pictures. We present a dataset of 1,420 such accounts and show that they are used to spread scams, spam, and amplify coordinated messages, among other inauthentic activities. Leveraging a feature of GAN-generated faces -- consistent eye placement -- and supplementing it with human annotation, we devise an effective method for identifying GAN-generated profiles in the wild. Applying this method to a random sample of active Twitter users, we estimate a lower bound for the prevalence of profiles using GAN-generated faces between 0.021% and 0.044% -- around 10K daily active accounts. These findings underscore the emerging threats posed by multimodal generative AI. We release the source code of our detection method and the data we collect to facilitate further investigation. Additionally, we provide practical heuristics to assist social media users in recognizing such accounts.

description: We report the detection of a faint stellar companion to the famous nearby A5V star Alcor (80 UMa). The companion has M-band ($λ$ = 4.8 $μ$m) magnitude 8.8 and projected separation 1".11 (28 AU) from Alcor. The companion is most likely a low-mass ($\sim$0.3 \msun) active star which is responsible for Alcor's X-ray emission detected by ROSAT (L$_{\rm X}$ $\simeq$ 10$^{28.3}$ erg/s). Alcor is a nuclear member of the Ursa Major star cluster (UMa; d $\simeq$ 25 pc, age $\simeq$ 0.5 Gyr), and has been occasionally mentioned as a possible distant (709") companion of the stellar quadruple Mizar ($ζ$ UMa). Comparing the revised Hipparcos proper motion for Alcor with the mean motion for other UMa nuclear members shows that Alcor has a peculiar velocity of 1.1 km/s, which is comparable to the predicted velocity amplitude induced by the newly-discovered companion ($\sim$1 km/s). Using a precise dynamical parallax for Mizar and the revised Hipparcos parallax for Alcor, we find that Mizar and Alcor are physically separated by 0.36 $\pm$ 0.19 pc (74 $\pm$ 39 kAU; minimum 18 kAU), and their velocity vectors are marginally consistent ($χ^2$ probability 6%). Given their close proximity and concordant motions we suggest that the Mizar quadruple and the Alcor binary be together considered the 2nd closest stellar sextuplet. The addition of Mizar-Alcor to the census of stellar multiples with six or more components effectively doubles the local density of such systems within the local volume (d $
