description: Androgens are an important output of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis that controls reproduction in all vertebrates. In male teleosts two androgens, testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone, control sexual differentiation and development in juveniles and reproductive behavior in adults. Androgenic signals provide feedback at many levels of the HPG axis, including the hypothalamic neurons that synthesize and release gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1 (GnRH1), but the precise cellular site of androgen action in the brain is not known. Here we describe two androgen receptor subtypes, ARα and ARβ, in the cichlid Astatotilapia burtoni and show that these subtypes are differentially located throughout the adult brain in nuclei known to function in the control of reproduction. ARα was expressed in the ventral part of the ventral telencephalon, the preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus and the ventral hypothalamus, whereas ARβ was more widely expressed in the dorsal and ventral telencephalon, the POA, and the ventral and dorsal hypothalamus. We provide the first evidence in any vertebrate that the GnRH1-releasing neurons, which serve as the central control point of the HPG axis, express both subtypes of AR. Using quantitative real-time PCR, we show that A. burtoni AR subtypes have different expression levels in adult tissue, with ARα showing significantly higher expression than ARβ in the pituitary, and ARβ expressed at a higher level than ARα in the anterior and middle brain. These data provide important insight into the role of androgens in regulating the vertebrate reproductive axis.

description: From primates to bees, social status regulates reproduction. In the cichlid fish Astatotilapia (Haplochromis) burtoni, subordinate males have reduced fertility and must become dominant to reproduce. This increase in sexual capacity is orchestrated by neurons in the preoptic area, which enlarge in response to dominance and increase expression of gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1 (GnRH1), a peptide critical for reproduction. Using a novel behavioral paradigm, we show for the first time that subordinate males can become dominant within minutes of an opportunity to do so, displaying dramatic changes in body coloration and behavior. We also found that social opportunity induced expression of the immediate-early gene egr-1 in the anterior preoptic area, peaking in regions with high densities of GnRH1 neurons, and not in brain regions that express the related peptides GnRH2 and GnRH3. This genomic response did not occur in stable subordinate or stable dominant males even though stable dominants, like ascending males, displayed dominance behaviors. Moreover, egr-1 in the optic tectum and the cerebellum was similarly induced in all experimental groups, showing that egr-1 induction in the anterior preoptic area of ascending males was specific to this brain region. Because egr-1 codes for a transcription factor important in neural plasticity, induction of egr-1 in the anterior preoptic area by social opportunity could be an early trigger in the molecular cascade that culminates in enhanced fertility and other long-term physiological changes associated with dominance.
On the Connection Between Spiral Arm Pitch Angle and Galaxy Properties

description: We measure the pitch angle ($φ$) of spiral arms in a sample of 79 galaxies to perform a systematic study of the dependence of $φ$ on galaxy morphology, mass, and kinematics to investigate the physical origin of spiral arms. We find that $φ$ decreases (arms are more tightly wound), albeit with significant scatter, in galaxies with earlier Hubble type, more prominent bulges, higher concentration, and larger total galaxy stellar mass ($M_*^{\rm gal}$). For a given concentration, galaxies with larger stellar masses tend to have tighter spiral arms, and vice versa. We also find that $φ$ obeys a tight inverse correlation with central stellar velocity dispersion for $σ_c$$\gtrsim$$100$ km s$^{-1}$, whereas $φ$ remains approximately constant for $σ_c\lesssim100$ km s$^{-1}$. We demonstrate that the $φ$-$σ_c$ and $φ$-$M_*^{\rm gal}$ relations are projections of a more fundamental three-dimensional $φ-σ_c-M_*^{\rm gal}$ relation, such that pitch angle is determined by $σ_c$ for massive galaxies but by $M_*^{\rm gal}$ for less massive galaxies. Contrary to previous studies, we find that $φ$ correlates only loosely with the galaxy's shear rate. For a given shear rate, spirals generated from $N$-body simulations exhibit much higher $φ$ than observed, suggesting that galactic disks are dynamically cooler (Toomre's $Q \approx 1.2$). Instead, the measured pitch angles show a much stronger relation with morphology of the rotation curve of the central region, such that galaxies with centrally peaked rotation curves have tight arms, while those with slow-rising rotation curves have looser arms. These behaviors are qualitatively consistent with predictions of density wave theory.

description: We study the Hitchin map for $G_{\mathbb{R}}$-Higgs bundles on a smooth curve, where $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ is a quasi-split real form of a complex reductive algebraic group $G$. By looking at the moduli stack of regular $G_{\mathbb{R}}$-Higgs bundles, we prove it induces a banded gerbe structure on a slightly larger stack, whose band is given by sheaves of tori. This characterization yields a cocyclic description of the fibres of the corresponding Hitchin map by means of cameral data. According to this, fibres of the Hitchin map are categories of principal torus bundles on the cameral cover. The corresponding points inside the stack of $G$-Higgs bundles are contained in the substack of points fixed by an involution induced by the Cartan involution of $G_{\mathbb{R}}$. We determine this substack of fixed points and prove that stable points are in correspondence with stable $G_{\mathbb{R}}$-Higgs bundles.

Формирование социального заказа на образование и введение всеобщего обязательного обучения в нашей стране позволили ликвидировать неграмотность, осуществить научно-техническую революцию, обеспечить экономическую независимость. Несколько десятилетий Россия занимала приоритетные позиции во многих отраслях науки. Однако кризис 90-х годов вызвал снижение финансирования образования, что привело к деградации материальной базы, ухудшению качества подготовки специалистов и снижению интеллектуального потенциала вузов. Увеличение финансирования образования, повышение его уровня является условием будущего экономического процветания России.In the article the dependence of the competitive power of the economic security upon the education quality is considered. The formation of the social educational order and the introduction of the General Compulsory Education in our country allowed to liquidate the illiteracy, to carry out the scientific and technical revolution, to provide the economic independence of the USSR. Some decades Russia took priority positions in many branches of science. But the crisis of the 90-th years influenced less education financing. It became the reason of material base degradation, quality regressing of specialists training and decreasing of institutions’ intellectual potential. The education financing increasing is the condition of the Russian`s future economic welfare.

description: We resolve a long-standing question: does the four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ SU(N) Super-Yang-Mills theory on $S^3$ at large N contain enough states to account for the entropy of rotating electrically-charged BPS black holes in AdS$_5$? Our answer is positive. We reconsider the large N limit of the superconformal index, using the Bethe Ansatz formulation, and find an exponentially large contribution which exactly reproduces the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the black holes of Gutowski-Reall. Besides, the large N limit exhibits a complicated structure, with many competing exponential contributions and Stokes lines, hinting at new physics.

description: Система налогообложения в РФ или, другими словами, налоговый режим представляет собой комплекс налогов, сборов и прочих платежей, которые хозяйствующий субъект, занимающийся предпринимательской деятельностью, обязан уплачивать в казну государства в соответствии с действующим налоговым законодательством. На сегодняшний день для российских индивидуальных предпринимателей и организаций существуют несколько режимов налогообложения: один общий и пять специальных. Каждый из них имеет свои отличительные особенности. Общая система налогообложения назначается организациям и индивидуальным предпринимателям автоматически после их создания, исключением являются те случаи, когда организацией подается заявление на один из специальных режимов. В данной статье на примере ПАО «Ростелеком» будет проведена оценка применяемой данной организацией общей системой налогообложения.The tax system in the Russian Federation or, in other words, the tax regime is a set of taxes, fees and other payments that an economic entity engaged in business activities is required to pay to the Treasury of the state in accordance with current tax legislation. Today, there are several tax regimes for Russian individual entrepreneurs and organizations: one General and five special. Each of them has its own distinctive features. The General tax system is assigned to organizations and individual entrepreneurs automatically after their creation, except for those cases when the organization applies for one of the special regimes. In this article, using the example of Rostelecom PJSC, we will evaluate the General taxation system used by this organization.

description: The Hairy Ball Theorem states that every continuous tangent vector field on an even-dimensional sphere must have a zero. We prove that the associated computational problem of (a) computing an approximate zero is PPAD-complete, and (b) computing an exact zero is FIXP-hard. We also consider the Hairy Ball Theorem on toroidal instead of spherical domains and show that the approximate problem remains PPAD-complete. On a conceptual level, our PPAD-membership results are particularly interesting, because they heavily rely on the investigation of multiple-source variants of END-OF-LINE, the canonical PPAD-complete problem. Our results on these new END-OF-LINE variants are of independent interest and provide new tools for showing membership in PPAD. In particular, we use them to provide the first full proof of PPAD-completeness for the IMBALANCE problem defined by Beame et al. in 1998.

description: Shank proteins are the major scaffold proteins that organize the postsynaptic density at the excitatory synapses. Shank1-3 proteins are associated with type I mGluRs via an interaction with Homer in the proline-rich domain. Phelan-McDermid (PMS) syndrome is characterized by intellectual impairment, absent or delayed speech, and autistic-like behaviors. Loss of Shank3 is now considered to cause the neurobehavioral symptoms of PMS. Furthermore, a significant number of SHANK3 mutations have been identified in patients with Autism Spectrum disorders ASD, and SHANK3 truncating mutations are associated with moderate to profound ID. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms associated with the ASD-like behaviors observed in Shank3?11-/- mice in which exon 11 has been deleted. Our results indicate that Shank3 is essential to mediating mGlu5 receptor signaling by recruiting Homer1b/c to the PSD, specifically in the striatum and cortex. Moreover, augmenting mGlu5 receptor activity by administering 3-Cyano-N-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzamide (CDPPB) ameliorated the functional and behavioral defects that were observed in Shank3?11-/- mice, suggesting that pharmaceutical treatments that increase mGlu5 activity may represent a new approach for treating patients that are affected by PMS and SHANK3 mutations.

description: Experimental data are the source of understanding matter. However, measurable quantities are limited and theoretically important quantities are sometimes hidden. Nonetheless, recent progress of machine-learning techniques opens possibilities of exposing them only from available experimental data. In this paper, after establishing the reliability of the method in various careful benchmark tests, the Boltzmann-machine method is applied to the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy spectra of cuprate high temperature superconductors, Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CuO$_{6+δ}$ (Bi2201) and Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCuO$_{8+δ}$ (Bi2212). We find prominent peak structures both in normal and anomalous self-energies, but they cancel in the total self-energy making the structure apparently invisible, while the peaks make universally dominant contributions to superconducting gap, hence evidencing the signal that generates the high-$T_{\rm c}$ superconductivity. The relation between superfluid density and critical temperature supports involvement of universal carrier relaxation associated with dissipative strange metals, where enhanced superconductivity is promoted by entangled quantum-soup nature of the cuprates. The present achievement opens avenues for innovative machine-learning spectroscopy method to reveal fundamental properties hidden in direct experimental accesses.

Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis describes the synthesis of novel [3.2.0]bicycles via 4-π-photocyclisation of tropone and its 2-substituted derivatives. Chapter 1 provides a bibliographic overview of the literature pertaining to the synthesis of cyclobutenes, with a particular emphasis on the 4-π-photocyclisation of cyclic 1,3-butadienes. Chapter 2 investigates the optimisation and gram-scale synthesis of phototropone via 4-π-photocyclisation of tropone·BF3 in a batch photoreactor. The phototropone product obtained was subjected to a wide variety of reactions to yield novel small- molecule building blocks. Chapter 3 describes the synthesis of 2-substituted tropones by known litera- ture procedures as well as custom syntheses. The 2-substituted tropones obtained were irradiated both in the presence and absence of BF3·OEt2 to obtain a series of novel [3.2.0]bicycles, and valuable insights into the substituent effects on this reaction were gleaned. Chapter 4 provides overall conclusions from Chapters 2 and 3, as well as ideas for potential future work. Chapter 5 describes the experimental details and characterisation of novel com- pounds described in this thesis.

description: unconsidered threats, which must be considered to ensure the safe operation of industrial processes. Especially as cyberspace is presenting itself as a popular domain for nation-state operations, including against critical infrastructure. Honeypots are a well-known concept within traditional IT security, and they can enable a more proactive approach to security, unlike traditional systems. More work needs to be done to understand their usefulness within OT and critical infrastructure. This thesis advances beyond current honeypot implementations and furthers the current state-of-the-art by delivering novel ways of deploying ICS honeypots and delivering concrete answers to key research questions within the area. This is done by answering the question previously raised from a multitude of perspectives. We discuss relevant legislation, such as the UK Cyber Assessment Framework, the US NIST Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, and associated industry-based standards and guidelines supporting operator compliance. Standards and guidance are used to frame a discussion on our survey of existing ICS honeypot implementations in the literature and their role in supporting regulatory objectives. However, these deployments are not always correctly configured and might differ from a real ICS. Based on these insights, we propose a novel framework towards the classification and implementation of ICS honeypots. This is underpinned by a study into the passive identification of ICS honeypots using Internet scanner data to identify honeypot characteristics. We also present how honeypots can be leveraged to identify when bespoke ICS vulnerabilities are exploited within the organisational network—further strengthening the case for honeypot usage within critical infrastructure environments. Additionally, we demonstrate a fundamentally different approach to the deployment of honeypots. By deploying it as a deterrent, to reduce the likelihood that an adversary interacts with a real system. This is important as skilled attackers are now adept at fingerprinting and avoiding honeypots. The results presented in this thesis demonstrate that honeypots can provide several benefits to the cyber security of and alignment to regulations within the critical infrastructure environment.

description: We consider the classic problem of fairly allocating indivisible goods among agents with additive valuation functions and explore the connection between two prominent fairness notions: maximum Nash welfare (MNW) and envy-freeness up to any good (EFX). We establish that an MNW allocation is always EFX as long as there are at most two possible values for the goods, whereas this implication is no longer true for three or more distinct values. As a notable consequence, this proves the existence of EFX allocations for these restricted valuation functions. While the efficient computation of an MNW allocation for two possible values remains an open problem, we present a novel algorithm for directly constructing EFX allocations in this setting. Finally, we study the question of whether an MNW allocation implies any EFX guarantee for general additive valuation functions under a natural new interpretation of approximate EFX allocations.
Social signals regulate gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons in the green treefrog

description: Animals coordinate their physiological state with external cues to appropriately time reproduction. These external cues exert effects through influences on the gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons (GnRH), at the apex of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis. In green treefrogs, mating calls are important regulators of reproductive behavior and physiology. Reception of mating calls causes an increase in androgen levels, and androgens promote the production of mating calls, demonstrating a mutual influence between the communication and endocrine systems. In order to investigate the central nervous system correlates of social regulation of the HPG axis in green treefrogs, we exposed males to a mating chorus or a control stimulus (tones), counted the resulting number of septo-preoptic GnRH-immunoreactive cells (GnRH-ir), and measured changes in plasma androgens. We found that reception of the mating chorus caused an increase in the number of GnRH-ir cells. As previously shown, we also found that the reception of the mating chorus resulted in higher androgen levels, suggesting that the higher GnRH-ir cell number represents increased GnRH production and release. We suggest that mating calls are an important supplementary cue that promotes GnRH production and release within the context of GnRH regulation by seasonal cues. Previous studies have proposed a neuroanatomical link between the anuran auditory system and GnRH neurons. Our results demonstrate a functional role for this proposed sensory-endocrine circuit, and show for the first time an influence of acoustic signals on GnRH neurons.

In quantum key distribution, this vulnerability can be exploited by an eavesdropper to perform a faked-state attack giving her full knowledge of the key without being noticed. We consider the attack on standard BB84 protocol and a subcarrier-wave scheme, and outline a possible countermeasure.

description: Internet-connected consumer devices have rapidly increased in popularity; however, relatively little is known about how these technologies are affecting interpersonal relationships in multi-occupant households. In this study, we conduct 13 semi-structured interviews and survey 508 individuals from a variety of backgrounds to discover and categorize how consumer IoT devices are affecting interpersonal relationships in the United States. We highlight several themes, providing exploratory data about the pervasiveness of interpersonal costs and benefits of consumer IoT devices. These results inform follow-up studies and design priorities for future IoT technologies to amplify positive and reduce negative interpersonal effects.

description: In this work, inspired by the observation of charmoniumlike $Z_{c}^{+}(4200)$% , we study the photoproduction of charged charmoniumlike $Z_{c}^{+}(4200)$ with an effective Lagrangian approach and the Regge trajectories model. The numerical results indicate that the Reggeized treatment can lead to a lower total cross section of the $Z_{c}^{+}(4200)$ photoproduction and the peak position of cross section was moved to the higher energy point when the Reggeized treatment was added. {Moreover, using the data from the COMPASS experiment and presented theoretical predictions, an upper limit of the decay width of $Z_{c}(4200)\rightarrow J/ψπ$ is estimated.} The relevant results not only shed light on the further experiment of searching for the charmoniumlike $Z_{c}(4200)$ state via meson photoproduction, but also provide valuable informations for having a better comprehension of the nature of charmoniumlike $Z_{c}(4200)$ state.

LA NASCITA E L'AFFERMAZIONE DELLE AUTOLINEE EXTRAURBANE IN ITALIA (1895-1929)

description: The aim of the essay is to analyze the rise of the Italian interurban and rural bus network from its beginning - at the end of the XIX Century - until 1929. What I argue is that, despite the few historiographical studies dedicated to this topic, the bus network played a significant role in the social and economic development of the rural areas of Italy. Before the spread of private motorization, the Italian population was involved in a process of public mass motorization, which influenced the labor market, the social mobility of people, the economic, commercial and social networks and that was more or less efficiently used by the governments as a nation-building tool, not unlikely the railway or telegraph networks.

description: В данной статье рассматривается один из самых востребованных специальных налоговых режимов, предусмотренных налоговым законодательством Российской Федерации патентная система налогообложения. Анализируются условия перехода на ПСН, ведь она является льготной, и не все налогоплательщики могут ее применять. На основании анализа динамики перехода предпринимателей на ПСН, изменения удельного веса таких предпринимателей в общем количестве ИП сделаны выводы об удобстве, простоте применения, а также обосновывается роль в стимулировании бизнеса и экономики страны в целом.This article discusses one of the most popular special tax regimes provided for by the tax legislation of the Russian Federation the patent tax system. The conditions of transition to PSN are analyzed, because it is preferential, and not all taxpayers can use it. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of the transition of entrepreneurs to PSN, changes in the share of such entrepreneurs in the total number of entrepreneurs, conclusions are drawn on convenience, ease of use, and the role in stimulating business and the economy of the country as a whole is justified.
On the equivalence between graph isomorphism testing and function approximation with GNNs

description: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved much success on graph-structured data. In light of this, there have been increasing interests in studying their expressive power. One line of work studies the capability of GNNs to approximate permutation-invariant functions on graphs, and another focuses on the their power as tests for graph isomorphism. Our work connects these two perspectives and proves their equivalence. We further develop a framework of the expressive power of GNNs that incorporates both of these viewpoints using the language of sigma-algebra, through which we compare the expressive power of different types of GNNs together with other graph isomorphism tests. In particular, we prove that the second-order Invariant Graph Network fails to distinguish non-isomorphic regular graphs with the same degree. Then, we extend it to a new architecture, Ring-GNN, which succeeds in distinguishing these graphs and achieves good performances on real-world datasets.

description: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a proven method for optimizing a procedure for which success has been defined, but the specific actions needed to achieve it have not. We apply the so-called "black box" method of RL to what has been referred as the "black art" of simulated annealing (SA), demonstrating that an RL agent based on proximal policy optimization can, through experience alone, arrive at a temperature schedule that surpasses the performance of standard heuristic temperature schedules for two classes of Hamiltonians. When the system is initialized at a cool temperature, the RL agent learns to heat the system to "melt" it, and then slowly cool it in an effort to anneal to the ground state; if the system is initialized at a high temperature, the algorithm immediately cools the system. We investigate the performance of our RL-driven SA agent in generalizing to all Hamiltonians of a specific class; when trained on random Hamiltonians of nearest-neighbour spin glasses, the RL agent is able to control the SA process for other Hamiltonians, reaching the ground state with a higher probability than a simple linear annealing schedule. Furthermore, the scaling performance (with respect to system size) of the RL approach is far more favourable, achieving a performance improvement of one order of magnitude on L=14x14 systems. We demonstrate the robustness of the RL approach when the system operates in a "destructive observation" mode, an allusion to a quantum system where measurements destroy the state of the system. The success of the RL agent could have far-reaching impact, from classical optimization, to quantum annealing, to the simulation of physical systems.
Analysis of an attenuator artifact in an experimental attack by Gunn-Allison-Abbott against the Kirchhoff-law-Johnson-noise (KLJN) secure key exchange system

description: A recent paper by Gunn-Allison-Abbott (GAA) [L.J. Gunn et al., Scientific Reports 4 (2014) 6461] argued that the Kirchhoff-law-Johnson-noise (KLJN) secure key exchange system could experience a severe information leak. Here we refute their results and demonstrate that GAA's arguments ensue from a serious design flaw in their system. Specifically, an attenuator broke the single Kirchhoff-loop into two coupled loops, which is an incorrect operation since the single loop is essential for the security in the KLJN system, and hence GAA's asserted information leak is trivial. Another consequence is that a fully defended KLJN system would not be able to function due to its built-in current-comparison defense against active (invasive) attacks. In this paper we crack GAA's scheme via an elementary current comparison attack which yields negligible error probability for Eve even without averaging over the correlation time of the noise.

On Conjugacy of Subalgebras of Graph C*-Algebras

description: The problem of inner vs outer conjugacy of subalgebras of certain graph C*-algebras is investigated. For a large class of finite graphs E, we show that whenever $α$ is a vertex-fixing quasi-free automorphism of the corresponding graph C*-algebra C*(E) such that α(\D_E)\neq\D_E, where \D_E is the canonical MASA in C*(E), then α(\D_E)\neq w\D_E w^* for all unitaries w\in C*(E). That is, the two MASAs \D_E and α(\D_E) of C*(E) are outer but not inner conjugate. Passing to an isomorphic C*-algebra by changing the underlying graph makes this result applicable to certain non quasi-free automorphisms as well. For the Cuntz algebras O_n, we find a criterion which guarantees that a polynomial automorphism moves the canonical UHF subalgebra to a non-inner conjugate UHF subalgebra. The criterion is phrased in terms of rescaling of trace on diagonal projections.
