description: Entropy production in stochastic mechanical systems is examined here with strict bounds on its rate. Stochastic mechanical systems include pure diffusions in Euclidean space or on Lie groups, as well as systems evolving on phase space for which the fluctuation-dissipation theorem applies, i.e., return-to-equilibrium processes. Two separate ways for ensembles of such mechanical systems forced by noise to reach equilibrium are examined here. First, a restorative potential and damping can be applied, leading to a classical return-to-equilibrium process wherein energy taken out by damping can balance the energy going in from the noise. Second, the process evolves on a compact configuration space (such as random walks on spheres, torsion angles in chain molecules, and rotational Brownian motion) lead to long-time solutions that are constant over the configuration space, regardless of whether or not damping and random forcing balance. This is a kind of potential-free equilibrium distribution resulting from topological constraints. Inertial and noninertial (kinematic) systems are considered. These systems can consist of unconstrained particles or more complex systems with constraints, such as rigid-bodies or linkages. These more complicated systems evolve on Lie groups and model phenomena such as rotational Brownian motion and nonholonomic robotic systems. In all cases, it is shown that the rate of entropy production is closely related to the appropriate concept of Fisher information matrix of the probability density defined by the Fokker-Planck equation. Classical results from information theory are then repurposed to provide computable bounds on the rate of entropy production in stochastic mechanical systems.
title: Vicuñas and Pastoralists on the Peruvian Altiplano
Creators: name: Walker, Rachel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1984

description: Many articles, government publications, and a fairly lengthy book have been written about the vicuña (hereafter vicugna), as can be seen by the bibliography, which is in no way exhaustive. What I try to do here is bring together several factors that have not, to my knowledge, been documented in one article; the sociological and cultural aspects of the altiplano (high plains) community which is affected by the PEURV (Proyect Especial por la Utilization Racional de la Vicugna); some of the political and economic aspects of the campesino's life; the vicugna and its environmental adaption to the harsh puna (high altitude grasslands) environment; and in addition briefly touch on some aspects of rural development project design philosphy.
I do not profess to be an expert 1n any of the professions of anthropology, sociology, economics, politics, or project design. My true interest lies with the puna ecology, yet it 1s the strong sense of community that draws me to South America in the first place. The fact that al I the topics have not been simultaneously discussed in regards to PEURV is a big statement in itself; i.e., there is a basic lack of design considerations which pertain to socioecological aspects of the situation. This bodes ii I for the success of PEURV, and it is my hope that others with more expertise in the above areas will eventually pull it all together. For me bringing these ideas together embodies the turn my interests have taken while at USU, a holistic approach to pastoralism.
The second aim of this paper is to cover two aspects of PEURV with which I had more personal experience; vicugna shearing and preliminary work in fiber classification.
I wish to mention that the information base on vicugnas is replete with varied or even conflicting data and I have done my best to present it accurately, providing an average or the most modest statistic whenever possible. For example, I spent a week translating information on the Agrarian Reform of 1969 only to find that merely 2O% of the peasants were affected by it. Realizing that many of the sources here are difficult to track down I try to portray the information well, but extend apologies for any gross errors in translation--literal or verbal-- or misunderstanding of technical information that was over my head. Also, this being my first attempt at a project, there were some facts that I did not procure at the time because I did not know I was going to need them, so information is not always complete or from my own experience. Finally, I regret not having more hands-on experience, but due to my shy nature I was reluctant to barge into a situation like shearing and try some different approaches; mainly because of my female sex 1n a very macho situation; i.e., I tried to be discreet.

description: It is shown that the incorporation of linear sink/source terms in the three-wave resonance interaction model results in the time dependence of the wave amplitudes, which could exhibit the properties of a strange attractor. This finding demonstrates that the transition to turbulent dynamics of the waves could be related not only to the coupling of wave triads but also to the establishing of the strange attractor-like dynamics within individual wave triads.
Hadron production in electron-positron annihilation computed from the gauge gravity correspondence

description: We provide a non-perturbative expression for the hadron production in electron-positron annihilation at zero temperature in a strongly coupled, large-Nc SU(Nc) field theory with Nf << Nc quark flavors. The resulting expressions are valid to leading order in the electromagnetic coupling constant but non-perturbatively in the SU(Nc) interactions and the mass of the quark. We obtain this quantity by computing the imaginary part of the hadronic vacuum polarization function Pi_q using holographic techniques, providing an alternative to the known method that uses the spectrum of infinitely stable mesons determined by the normalizable modes of the appropriated fields in the bulk. Our result exhibits a structure of poles localized at specific real values of q^2, which coincide with the ones found using the normalizable modes, and extends it offering the unique analytic continuation of this distribution to a function defined for values of q^2 over the complex plane. This analytic continuation permits to include a finite decay width for the mesons. By comparison with experimental data we find qualitatively good agreement on the shape of the first pole, when using the rho meson parameters and choosing a proper normalization factor. We then estimate the contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon finding an agreement within 25%, for this choice of parameters.

Il Non Ente e la Percezione del Vero
Creators: name: PsykoSapiens
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Il lavoro esplora il concetto di Non Ente come strumento per una riformulazione ontologica che superi le dicotomie della metafisica tradizionale. Attraverso un’analisi genealogica e fenomenologica, critichiamo la nozione di verità come dispositivo epistemico e mettiamo in discussione il postulato della corrispondenza tra essere e pensiero.

Il testo analizza le radici storiche del concetto, evidenziando la crisi de l’adaequatio rei et intellectus in Isaac Israeli ben Solomon e il trattamento del Non Essere dal tal Parmenide al tal Aristotele. Si mostra come la scolastica medievale abbia tentato di neutralizzare il carattere sovversivo del Non Ente, riconducendolo a una semplice impossibilità.

Viene poi proposta una critica al modello epistemico binario, dimostrando che la verità non è un dato oggettivo, ma una costruzione storica e linguistica. Il Non Ente non è una negazione dell’essere, bensì un’eccedenza che sfugge alle strutture epistemiche consolidate, aprendo una fenomenologia dell’indeterminato.

Si arriva a una svolta nella percezione viscerale, che sfida il primato del lògos e propone lo struggere viscerale come metodo di pensiero. L’indagine sul Non Ente non fornisce risposte definitive, ma invita a abitare l’irrisolto, riconoscendo che la filosofia non deve cercare / ricercare verità assolute, bensì mantenere aperto lo spazio del possibile.

title: Valium: Its Uses and Abuses
Creators: name: Hardy, Jeffrey A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: Between the months of June 1978 and June 1979, I was employed at Sunshine Terrace, a nursing home in Logan, Utah. In the year I spent there working as an orderly on the wing for incontinent male patients, I was exposed to a lot of things of which I had previously been unaware.
One which I observed was the liberal use of medications. At each nuses' station there was a small room which contained about six cabinets full of prescription drugs for the forty or so patients on that wing. At least every four hours the medication nurse would prepare a cart, filling a little cup with pills and capsules for each patient. Through questioning of these nurses I discovered that a lot of medications were solely prescribed to keep the patients sedated. One nurse told me that "the place would be a madhouse" if all the people that were on sedation were suddenly taken off. In experiences I had with unruly, uncognizant patients I could understand the reason for such use of drugs. But I wondered if some people weren't overmedicated.
At the same time, I had heard and read much from the media about the liberal use of Valium, an anti-anxiety agent. I wondered if it was used extensively at the nursing home. After investigating this, I found that there did not seem to be much use of it at Sunshine Terrace. But my curiosity had been piqued and I wanted to know if Valium use in America was as extensive as the sedative medications seemed to be at the nursing home.
Originally I intended to focus on nursing home use of Valium. But initial research into the literature showed little had been done in that area. I focused my attention instead on claims of abuse of Valium by the general populace. The articles I had read and the presentations I had seen made Valium sound like a drug gone bad. So I made a literature search to see if I could ascertain the truth of those accusations. The report which follows is the result of that search. It is limited by the materials which were available to me. Actual laboratory research into the problem would have been more desirable but the limitations of my finances and limited research experience made it impossible.

description: The BLG model for multiple M2-branes motivates an M5-brane theory with a novel gauge symmetry defined by the Nambu-Poisson structure. This Nambu-Poisson gauge symmetry for an M5-brane in large C-field background can be matched, on double dimension reduction, with the Poisson limit of the noncommutative gauge symmetry for a D4-brane in B-field background. Naively, one expects that there should exist a certain deformation of the Nambu-Poisson structure to match with the full noncommutative gauge symmetry including higher order terms. However, We prove the no-go theorem that there is no way to deform the Nambu-Poisson gauge symmetry, even without assuming the existence of a deformation of Nambu-Poisson bracket, to match with the noncommutative gauge symmetry in 4+1 dimensions to all order, regardless of how the double dimension reduction is implemented.

A Census of the Circumstellar Disk Populations in the Sco-Cen Complex
Creators: name: Luhman, K. L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I have used mid-infrared (IR) photometry from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) to perform a census of circumstellar disks among ~10,000 candidate members of the Sco-Cen complex that were recently identified with data from the Gaia mission. IR excesses are detected for more than 1200 of the WISE counterparts that are within the commonly adopted boundary for Sco-Cen, ~400 of which are newly reported in this work. The richest population in Sco-Cen, UCL/LCC, contains the largest available sample of disks (>500) for any population near its age (~20 Myr). UCL/LCC also provides the tightest statistical constraints to date on the disk fractions of low-mass stars for any single age beyond that of Upper Sco (~11 Myr). For Upper Sco and UCL/LCC, I have measured the disk fractions as a function of spectral type. The disk fraction in Upper Sco is higher at later spectral types, which is consistent with the results for previous samples of candidate members. In UCL/LCC, that trend has become more pronounced; the disk fractions in UCL/LCC are lower than those in Upper Sco by factors of ~10, 5.7, and 2.5 at B7-K5.5, K6-M3.5, and M3.75-M6, respectively. The data in UCL/LCC also demonstrate that the disk fraction for low-mass stars remains non-negligible at an age of 20 Myr (0.09+/-0.01). Finally, I find no significant differences in the ages of disk-bearing and diskless low-mass stars in Upper Sco and UCL/LCC based on their positions in color-magnitude diagrams.

title: Determinants of U.S. Policy toward China 1925-1937
Creators: name: Anderson, Kevin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: The analysis of American foreign policy has long been a favorite subject for historians, and the U.S. policy toward China during the 1920s and 1930s has received its fair share of attention. Most authors dealing with this period have been content to trace carefully the course taken by U.S. policy makers during this period, pointing out where they went wrong, or defending the policy as being the best possible given the situation. Some authors have presented biographical sketches of various major policymakers, analyzing the role played by their policy maker. Nearly all include reasons a particular policy was followed or why a particular policymaker acted as he did.
What were the major determinants of U.S. policy during the late 1920s and early 1930s? This paper will present a summary of U.S. policy toward China from 1925 to 1937 to provide a background, followed by a description of the individuals in the State Department and the White House who had primary responsibility for the formulation of the China policy during this period and the role played by each. Next, the major factors that influenced the formation of policy will be discussed as well as the relative importance of each factor as measured by the actual policy followed. Finally, conclusions will be drawn as to the major determinants of U.S. policy toward China during this period.

description: Catalogs of microseismicity are routinely compiled at geothermal reservoirs and provide valuable insights into reservoir structure and fluid movement. Hypocentral locations are typically used to infer the orientations of structures and constrain the extent of the permeable reservoir. However, frequency-magnitude distributions may contain additional, and underused, information about the distribution of pressure. Here, we present a four-year catalog of seismicity for the Rotokawa geothermal field in the central Taupō Volcanic Zone, New Zealand starting two years after the commissioning of the 140 MWe Nga Awa Purua power station. Using waveform-correlation-based signal detection we double the size of the previous earthquake catalog, refine the location and orientation of two reservoir faults and identify a new structure. We find the rate of seismicity to be insensitive to major changes in injection strategy during the study period, including the injectivity decline and shift of injection away from the dominant injector, RK24. We also map the spatial distribution of the earthquake frequency-magnitude distribution, or b-value, and show that it increases from ∼1.0 to ∼1.5 with increasing depth below the reservoir. As has been proposed at other reservoirs, we infer that these spatial variations reflect the distribution of pressure in the reservoir, where areas of high b-value correspond to areas of high pore-fluid pressure and a broad distribution of activated fractures. This analysis is not routinely conducted by geothermal operators but shows promise for using earthquake b-value as an additional tool for reservoir monitoring and management.

description: Il taccuino è un'indagine filosofica e critica sulla condizione umana, incentrata sul problema della definizione, della follia, dell'invidia, della violenza e della dicotomia tra uomo liquido e uomo solido.

- L'errore del definire: Ogni definizione è una violenza concettuale che mutila la complessità del reale. La costruzione di un Dio non è ricerca del divino, ma tentativo di controllo e rassicurazione.

- La follia che ci abita: La razionalità è un'illusione sottile sopra un abisso di caos. Accettare la follia è l'unica via per sottrarsi all'inganno del pensiero sterile e autoconclusivo.

- L'invidia: È il veleno dell'umano, una forza distruttiva che non cerca l'elevazione ma l'annientamento dell'altro.

- La violenza: Non è necessità, ma prodotto di un'umanità fallita, espressione della sua incapacità di superare se stessa.

- L'uomo liquido e l'Uomo solido: Il primo è disperso nella superficialità e nella velocità, il secondo accetta il caos, la morte e la propria imperfezione senza rifugiarsi in illusioni.

Il testo conclude con un invito a riconoscere la nostra natura frammentata, accogliere la morte come parte essenziale della vita e, attraverso questa consapevolezza, tentare di oltrepassare la condizione attuale dell'umano.

title: The Role of Plant Hormones in Grass Tiller Development
Creators: name: Snow, Marit
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: Two bunchgrass species commonly found in the Intermountain West, Agropyron spicatum and A. desertorum, are morphologically similar but respond to defoliation very differently. A. desertorum produces more daughter tillers and is more hardy than A. spicatum. Hormones were applied to experimental plants to observe changes in tillering rates, growth rates, and response of plants to the stress of exogenous hormone application. Gibberellic acid treatments were related to increased tiller height in both species, but also a decrease in daughter tiller production in A. desertorum and an increase in senescence in A. spicatum. Kinetin increased senescence in A. desertorum. Auxin showed no significant response in either species or in any of the treatments. A. spicatum plants showed higher levels of senescence than A. desertorum plants and appeared unhealthy and stressed in subjective observations.

description: We present spectroscopy of 285 previously identified candidate members of populations in the Sco-Cen complex, primarily Ophiuchus, Upper Sco, and Lupus. The spectra are used to measure spectral types and diagnostics of youth. We find that 269 candidates exhibit signatures of youth in our spectra or previous data, which is consistent with their membership in Sco-Cen. We have constructed compilations of candidate members of Ophiuchus, Upper Sco, and Lupus that have spectral classifications and evidence of youth, which contain a total of 2274 objects. In addition, we have used spectra from previous studies to classify three sources in Ophiuchus that have been proposed to be protostellar brown dwarfs: ISO Oph 70, 200, and 203. We measure spectral types of early M from those data, which are earlier than expected for young brown dwarfs based on evolutionary models (>=M6.5) and instead are indicative of stellar masses (~0.6 Msun).

title: Effects of Self-Pollination in the Genus Pinus
Creators: name: Cole, Liz
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The problems of self-pollination among trees are a major concern to foresters. Silvicultural practices have an effect on the frequency of self-pollination.For example, a cut, such as a shelterwood or seed tree, reduces the number of individuals in the breeding population and increases the distance between individual trees. This tends to increase the frequency of self-pollination. These effects can either be helpful or harmful depending on the goals of the forester. Therefore, a basic understanding as to the effects of self-pollination on trees is necessary. The point of focus in this paper is the genus, Pinus.
Self-pollination occurs naturally in the forests, but usually not to any great extent. Trees have phenological and morphological barriers to self-pollination that help reduce the frequency. When self-pollination does occur, recessive genes that may be carried in the heterozygous condition can be expressed. These can either cause various degrees of harmful changes or go unnoticed. Because only the lethal or deviant changes are highly observable, those are the ones associated with self-pollination. Therefore, self-pollination is generally thought of as being harmful.
Self-pollination can also carry out an important function in the forest. When the environment changes, trees need to cope with that change. The variation carried in the genes of the population allow the species to adapt to environmental changes.A recessive gene that was once considered harmful can be necessary for the survival of the species. Self-pollination does have its place, but in the normal forest situation, outcrossing is the more common method of pollination.

description: A cyclotomic polynomial Phi_n(x) is said to be ternary if n=pqr with p,q and r distinct odd prime factors. Ternary cyclotomic polynomials are the simplest ones for which the behaviour of the coefficients is not completely understood. Eli Leher showed in 2007 that neighboring ternary cyclotomic coefficients differ by at most four. We show that, in fact, they differ by at most one. Consequently, the set of coefficients occurring in a ternary cyclotomic polynomial consists of consecutive integers. As an application we reprove in a simpler way a result of Bachman from 2004 on ternary cyclotomic polynomials with an optimally large set of coefficients.

title: Forage Utilization Estimated by Height-weight and Grazed-plant Methods
Creators: name: Clark, JoAnn
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: Determining utilization has been one of the most difficult tasks required of range scientists down through the years (Pieper 1973). Utilization is defined as the portion of the current year's growth of the plant that the animal consumes or destroys. For this reason it is difficult to measure utilization because you are trying to measure something that no longer exists.
Numerous methods have been developed for determining utilization. Some methods are rapid while others are more detailed and time consuming, but may give greater accuracy.
This study was done to see how well utilization estimates made by the grazed-plant method correlate with estimates made by the height-weight method. The correlation was made to determine if the height-weight method, currently being used on the Cedar Mountain research project, could be replaced by the quicker grazed-plant method. Regression analysis showed that the relationship between the two variables was not of sufficient strength to replace the height-weight method by the grazed-plant method.

description: I have used high-precision photometry and astrometry from the early installment of the third data release of Gaia (EDR3) to perform a survey for members of the stellar populations within the Sco-Cen complex, which consist of Upper Sco, UCL/LCC, the V1062 Sco group, Ophiuchus, and Lupus. Among Gaia sources with sigma(pi)<1 mas, I have identified 10,509 candidate members of those populations. I have compiled previous measurements of spectral types, Li equivalent widths, and radial velocities for the candidates, which are available for 3169, 1420, and 1740 objects, respectively. In a subset of candidates selected to minimize field star contamination, I estimate that the contamination is <1% and the completeness is ~90% at spectral types of <=M6-M7 for the populations with low extinction (Upper Sco, V1062 Sco, UCL/LCC). I have used that cleaner sample to characterize the stellar populations in Sco-Cen in terms of their initial mass functions, ages, and space velocities. For instance, all of the populations in Sco-Cen have histograms of spectral types that peak near M4--M5, which indicates that they share similar characteristic masses for their initial mass functions (~0.15-0.2 Msun). After accounting for incompleteness, I estimate that the Sco-Cen complex contains nearly 10,000 members with masses above ~0.01 Msun. Finally, I also present new estimates for the intrinsic colors of young stars and brown dwarfs (<=20 Myr) in bands from Gaia EDR3, the Two Micron All Sky Survey, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Year: 2010

description: The dissertation discusses the provision of mental health care delivery by the Government of British Columbia, and the role and focus of Riverview Hospital in a changing organizational environment. The developing policy of regional and community service necessitates reorganization of the hospital's programs, in order to integrate and coordinate the components of the system. The question of the optimal organization for delivery of service in Riverview is examined through a discussion of the theoretical background for the provision of care to the mentally disordered, the development of mental health services in the province, and the alternatives and externalities which impinge on the provision and operation of the hospital's services. The intra-hospital planning, designed to effect an organizational response to environmental pressures, is outlined.

Specifically, we perform numerical simulations of quantum control in this system where driving pulses connect the undriven stationary states in a manner characteristic of Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP). We demonstrate that the dynamics of such a transition is affected by chaos induced avoided crossings, resulting in a loss in coherence of the final outcome in the adiabatic limit.

description: Everyone that uses the English language has trouble with spelling at one time of another; most people have trouble with it all the time. The may complain about the inconsistencies of English orthography (orthography is a fancy word for the art of spelling) as they reach for the dictionary, but not many people do anything about it. However, a few do try to do something. With some it may become an obsession. This paper is about the various attempts of some of these people to reform spelling.
It is traditional in papers about spelling reform to stop at this point and prove to the reader just how inconsistent English orthography really is, usually through some device such as listing all the sounds that the letter "a" can represent or all the ways there are to represent the sound/s/. But I'm not going to do that. You may stop and reflect about these inconsistencies if you wish.
title: A Guide to William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" or "What You Will"

description: William Shakespeare's family came from the area surrounding Stratford-upon-Avon. William's father, John Shakespeare, was the son of a respectable farmer at Snitterfield, just a few short miles from Stratford. John arrived in Stratford with a moderate inheritance and set up business as a local merchant and landowner. He is described as being a wool dealer and a glover in Stratford. He purchased two houses; one in Green-hill Street and another in Henley Street.
In 1557, John married Mary Arden, daughter of a wealthy land owner, who brought with her an estate called "Ashbies" and an interest in two Snitterfield tenements. John and Mary settled in the house on Henley Street where all of their eight children are believed to have been born. John was successful in business and held many town offices until about the year 1575 when he began to suffer financial difficulties.
William, the third child and eldest son in the Shakespeare family, was born when the family was still affluent and influential in Stratford. His christening date was recorded on April 26, 1564 and he spent his first twenty years as a resident of Stratford.
It is assumed that William attended the public school in Stratford, which was known for its high quality of education. It was not unusual for boys at the school to be writing fluent Latin by the time they were eleven years old. Unfortunately, John Shakespeare's declining financial resources and the burden of supporting a large family made it impossible for William to be sent either to Oxford or to Cambridge upon graduation from the public school in Stratford.
The period of time between William's graduation from public school and his appearance as a successful London dramatist is full of conjecture. Some sources claim he was apprenticed to a butcher, ran off to London and was accepted as a servant into a playhouse. This butcher story, however, most likely had its origin in a tradition that said, "when he ( Shakespeare) kill'd a calfe, he would doe it in a high style, and make a speech." This probably refers to an old semi-dramatic entertainment called "killing the calf" in which the actor, behind a door or screen, using ventriloquism, went through a pretended performance of slaughtering a calf. The more dramatic the performance, the more the crowd enjoyed it. (The Globe_Illustrated Shakespeare, Greenwich House,l9B3)
Some historians believed that the youthful Shakespeare must have spent several years working as a law clerk because legal expressions are more frequently and accurately used in his writings than in any other author of the day. However, his familiarity with legal terminology could also be explained by the fact that his father was a leader in Stratford government for many years and the young William could have been exposed to legal proceedings in this way.

description: We present theoretical evidence for local magnetic moments on Ti3+ ions in oxygen-deficient anatase and rutile TiO2 observed in a recent experiment [S. Zhou, et al., Phys. Rev. B 79, 113201 (2009)]. Results of our first-principles GGA+U calculations reveal that an oxygen vacancy converts two Ti4+ ions to two Ti3+ ions in anatase phase, which results in a local magnetic moment of 1.0 $μ_B$ per Ti3+. The two Ti3+ ions, however, form a stable antiferromagnetic state, and similar antiferromagnetism is also observed in oxygen-deficient rutile phase TiO2. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimentally observed antiferromagnetic-like behavior in oxygen-deficient Ti-O systems.

On Uplifted SUSY-Breaking Vacua and Direct Mediation in Generalized SQCD

description: We search for viable models of direct gauge mediation, where the SUSY-breaking sector is (generalized) SQCD, which has cosmologically favorable uplifted vacua even when the reheating temperature is well above the messenger scale. This requires a relatively large tadpole term in the scalar potential for the spurion field X and, consequently, we argue that pure (deformed) SQCD is not a viable model. On the other hand, in SQCD with an adjoint, which is natural e.g. in string theory, assuming an appropriate sign in the Kahler potential for X, such metastable vacua are possible.

title: Studies Toward the Total Synthesis of Antibiotic 593A
Creators: name: Wardle, Robert B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1981

description: In 1970 art article was published in the Journal of Antibiotics in which the isolation of a substance from the south African soil microorganism Streptomyces griseolutus designated 593A (NSC-135758) was reported. It was reported to inhibit the growth of human tumors in the chick embryo. Arison and Beck in 1973 proposed the structure to be 3,6-bis-(5-chloro-2 -piperidyl-)-2 ,5-piperizinedione based on spectral data.
In the ensuing years a number of further studies were made on the activity of 593A, It was found to be active against a number of solid tumors, several variants of leukemia, and in selectively inhibiting DNA synthesis. A possible mode of operation was suggested in which the Antibiotic would form a bis-aziridine derivative which acts as an alkylating agent.
Results from NEMO 3

description: The NEMO 3 experiment is located in the Modane Underground Laboratory and has been taking data since 2003 with seven isotopes. It is searching for the double beta decay process with two or zero neutrinos emitted in the final state. Precision measurements of the half-life of the isotopes due to two neutrino double beta decay have been performed and new results for 96Zr, 48Ca and 150Nd are presented here. Measurements of this process are important for reducing the uncertainties on the nuclear matrix elements. No evidence for zero neutrino double beta decay has been found and a 90% Confidence Level lower limit on the half-life of this process is derived. From this an upper limit can be set on the effective Majorana neutrino mass using the most recent nuclear matrix elements calculations.

description: A weighted Hilbert space approach to the study of zero-energy states of supersymmetric matrix models is introduced. Applied to a related but technically simpler model, it is shown that the spectrum of the corresponding weighted Hamiltonian simplifies to become purely discrete for sufficient weights. This follows from a bound for the number of negative eigenvalues of an associated matrix-valued Schrödinger operator.

description: Cosmology of self-interacting three-forms is investigated. The minimally coupled canonical theory can naturally generate a variety of isotropic background dynamics, including scaling, possibly transient acceleration and phantom crossing. An intuitive picture of the cosmological dynamics is presented employing an effective potential. Numerical solutions and analytical approximations are provided for scenarios which are potentially important for inflation or dark energy.

Floating Black Hole in the Karch-Randall Model and its Holographic Dual

description: To investigate the holography in the Karch-Randall (KR) braneworld model, we construct time-symmetric initial data of black holes floating in the bulk, and compare it with its holographic dual, which is described by four-dimensional self-gravitating quantum field theory in asymptotically AdS_4 spacetime. We also give a definition and an explicit formula of mass in the KR model extending the definition by Abbott and Deser for asymptotically AdS spacetime. We obtain supporting evidence for the holography in the KR model such as good agreements of phase structures and characteristic values between the two theories, and find clues that the Hawking-Page transition of the four-dimensional quantum theory in a microcanonical ensemble is holographically dual to a transition in the bulk black hole configuration.

Statistical Isotropy violation of the CMB brightness fluctuations

description: Certain anomalies at large angular scales in the cosmic microwave background measured by WMAP have been suggested as possible evidence of breakdown of statistical isotropy(SI). Most CMB photons free-stream to the present from the surface of last scattering. It is thus reasonable to expect statistical isotropy violation in the CMB photon distribution observed now to have originated from SI violation in the baryon-photon fluid at last scattering, in addition to anisotropy of the primordial power spectrum studied earlier in literature. We consider the generalized anisotropic brightness distribution fluctuations, $Δ(\vec{k}, \hat{n}, τ)$ (at conformal time $τ$) in contrast to the SI case where it is simply a function of $|\vec{k}|$ and $\hat{k} \cdot \hat{n}$. The brightness fluctuations expanded in Bipolar Spherical Harmonic (BipoSH) series, can then be written as $Δ_{\ell_1 \ell_2}^{L M}(\vec{k}, τ)$ where $L > 0$ terms encode deviations from statistical isotropy. We study the evolution of $Δ_{\ell_1 \ell_2}^{L M}(\vec{k}, τ)$ from non-zero terms $Δ_{\ell_3 \ell_4}^{L M}(\vec{k}, τ_s)$ at last scattering. Similar to the SI case, power at small spherical harmonic (SH) multipoles of $Δ_{\ell_3 \ell_4}^{L M}(\vec{k},τ_s)$ at the last scattering, is transferred to $Δ_{\ell_1 \ell_2}^{L M}(\vec{k}, τ)$ at larger SH multipoles. The structural similarity is more apparent in the asymptotic expression for large values of the final SH multipoles. This formalism allows an elegant identification of any SI violation observed today to a possible origin in the SI violation present in the baryon-photon fluid (eg., due to the presence of significant magnetic field).

description: We formulate statistical mechanics for the mixed diamond chain with spins of magnitudes 1 and 1/2. Owing to a series of conservation laws, any eigenstate of this system is decomposed into eigenstates of finite odd-length spin-1 chains. The ground state undergoes five quantum phase transitions with varying the parameter $λ$ controlling frustration. We obtain the values of the residual entropy and the Curie constant which characterize each phase and phase boundary at low temperatures. We further find various characteristic finite-temperature properties such as the nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, the multipeak structure in the $λ$-dependence of entropy, the plateau-like temperature dependence of entropy and the multipeak structure of specific heat.
