description: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus. Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) plays an important regulatory role in the transcription of several genes. This study aimed to mine and identify hub genes relevant to STING in DR. The STING-related genes (STING-RGs) were extracted from MSigDB database. Differentially expressed STING-RGs (DE-STING-RGs) were filtered by overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between DR and NC specimens and STING-RGs. A PPI network was established to mine hub genes. The ability of the hub genes to differentiate between DR and NC specimens was evaluated. Additionally, a ceRNA network was established to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of hub genes. Subsequently, the discrepancies in immune infiltration between DR and NC specimens were further explored. Additionally, we performed drug predictions. Finally, RT-qPCR of peripheral blood samples was used to validate the bioinformatics results. A grand total of four genes (IKBKG, STAT6, NFKBIA, and FCGR2A) related to STING were identified for DR. The AUC values of all four hub genes were greater than 0.7, which indicated that the diagnostic value was acceptable. The ceRNA network contained four hub genes, 170 miRNAs, and 135 lncRNAs. In addition, immunoinfiltration analysis demonstrated that the abundance of activated B cells was notably different between the DR and NC specimens. Moreover, 32 drugs were included in the drug-gene network, with twelve drugs targeting STAT6, nine drugs targeting NFKBIA, four drugs targeted IKBKG, and seven drugs targeted FCGR2A. The expression of the four hub genes in blood samples determined by RT-qPCR was consistent with our analysis. In conclusion, four hub genes (IKBKG, STAT6, NFKBIA, and FCGR2A) related to STING with a diagnostic value for DR were identified by bioinformatics analysis, which might provide new insights into the evaluation and treatment of DR.

description: A simple excess supply-demand model is used to determine the effects of income and population growth on the international price of fish, and on welfare in net exporting and importing regions of the world. Stochastic simulations of the model suggest fish price increases by between 0.25% and 1.07% for each 1% increase in world income, and by between 0.30% and 1.20% for each 1% increase in world population. Combining these elasticity estimates with the actual growth in income and population for 1999-2013, results suggests income and population growth together caused the world price of fish to rise by between 1.0% and 4.1% per year, for a best-bet estimate of 2.1% per year. The actual average annual rise in fish price over the last 12 years was 0.9%. This suggests supply growth due to aquaculture moderated to a significant extent price pressure due to demand growth. Higher fish prices increase welfare in net exporting countries at the expense of welfare in net importing countries. However, our results suggest net gains to producers and consumers in the two regions combined are positive.

Universal Extra Dimensions and b -> s gamma

description: We analyze the effect of flat universal extra dimensions (i.e., extra dimensions accessible to all SM fields) on the process b -> s gamma. With one Higgs doublet, the dominant contribution at one-loop is from Kaluza-Klein (KK) states of the charged would-be-Goldstone boson (WGB) and of the top quark. The resulting constraint on the size of the extra dimension is comparable to the constraint from T parameter. In two-Higgs doublet model II, the contribution of zero-mode and KK states of physical charged Higgs can cancel the contribution from WGB KK states. Therefore, in this model, there is no constraint on the size of the extra dimensions from the process b -> s gamma and also the constraint on the mass of the charged Higgs from this process is weakened compared to 4D. In two Higgs doublet model I, the contribution of the zero-mode and KK states of physical charged Higgs and that of the KK states of WGB are of the same sign. Thus, in this model and for small tan beta, the constraint on the size of the extra dimensions is stronger than in one Higgs doublet model and also the constraint on the mass of the charged Higgs is stronger than in 4D.

description: This thesis is an excerpt from a novel in progress titled Persephone. The main storyline follows the goddess Persephone as she learns about the world around her, falls in love, and strains against her mother’s iron will. Her life aboveground is abruptly halted when Hades, the somber god of the dead, kidnaps her and makes her an offer she cannot refuse. Meanwhile, her mother unleashes her rage upon the world, while her best friend and true love makes a drastic decision. The story explores the themes of love, coming-of-age, grief, personal growth, and anger. The author intends for this thesis to become a novel, which she hopes to eventually publish.
Failure of Effective Potential Approach: Nucleus-Electron Entanglement in the He-Ion

description: Entanglement may be considered a resource for quantum-information processing, as the origin of robust and universal equilibrium behaviour, but also as a limit to the validity of an effective potential approach, in which the influence of certain interacting subsystems is treated as a potential. Here we show that a closed three particle (two protons, one electron) model of a He-ion featuring realistic size, interactions and energy scales of electron and nucleus, respectively, exhibits different types of dynamics depending on the initial state: For some cases the traditional approach, in which the nucleus only appears as the center of a Coulomb potential, is valid, in others this approach fails due to entanglement arising on a short time-scale. Eventually the system can even show signatures of thermodynamical behaviour, i.e. the electron may relax to a maximum local entropy state which is, to some extent, independent of the details of the initial state.

description: We propose a unified new approach to describe polarized and unpolarized quark distributions in the proton based on the gauge-gravity correspondence, light-front holography, and the generalized Veneziano model. We find that the spin-dependent quark distributions are uniquely determined in terms of the unpolarized distributions by chirality separation without the introduction of additional free parameters. The predictions are consistent with existing experimental data and agree with perturbative QCD constraints at large longitudinal momentum $x$. In particular, we predict the sign reversal of the polarized down-quark distribution in the proton at $x=0.8\pm0.03$, a key property of nucleon substructure which will be tested very soon in upcoming experiments.

description: We consider the correction to conductivity of a 2D electron gas due to electron-electron interaction in the parallel magnetic field at arbitrary relation between temperature and the elastic mean free time. The correction exhibits non-trivial dependence on both temperature and the field. This dependence is determined by the Fermi liquid constant, which accounts for the spin-exchange interaction. In particular, the sign of the slope of the temperature dependence is not universal and can change with the increase of the field.

description: A variety of water conservation policy alternatives have been promoted to extend the economic life of Ogallala Aquifer in the Southern Great Plains. However, few studies have been done to analyze whether these policies provide profit-driven farmers with incentives to save water. In this paper we adopt a theoretical approach to analyze farmer’s optimal response when facing following policy alternatives, including 1) irrigation technology subsidy, 2) increased water cost, 3) unit subsidies for water saving; and 4) subsidies on water-conservative crop. Our findings suggest that optimal water conservation policies vary by region. Specifically, the switching to higher efficiency technology should occur in a preventative stage for the water saving to occur. Similarly, an increase in water cost promotes water saving only when water resource is relatively abundant. In regions where groundwater already poses a constraint, the unit subsidy for actual water saved and price subsidy for water-conservative crops are more effective in achieving the water conservation goal.

description: Developing a gate-tunable, scalable, and topologically-protectable supercurrent qubit and integrating it into a quantum circuit are crucial for applications in the fields of quantum information technology and topological phenomena. Here we propose that the nano-hybrid supercurrent transistors, a superconducting quantum analogue of a transistor, made of topological insulator nanowire would be a promising platform for unprecedented control of both the supercurrent magnitude and the current-phase relation by applying a voltage on a gate electrode. We believe that our experimental design will help probing Majorana state in topological insulator nanowire and establishing a solid-state platform for topological supercurrent qubit.

description: Christmas trees sales are considerable throughout the U.S. Understanding the drivers of purchase for Christmas trees, especially the impact of retail outlet and local label, is critical for producers and policy makers within states with tree production. Utilizing data from a choice experiment Connecticut residents in combination with latent class modeling we find that Christmas tree height is important to all latent classes but tree species had less of an impact. Furthermore, we find that a grown in CT label does not influence all consumers, though a majority of our sample had a preferential view and would pay a premium for a CT trees. With respect to retail location, we find that nursery/greenhouse and choose and cut retail outlets are preferred by a majority of consumers, but not by all consumers. Recommendations for the varying retail outlets are provided.

description: Worldwide, about 12x106 ha of arable land are destroyed and abandoned annually due to soil erosion. This problem is very serious for Krasnogvardeiskiy district, which is most eroded district (72.7% eroded lands) in the Central Chernozem Zone (CCZ) of Russia. Under the leadership of the academician of Russian Academy of Agrarian Sciences O.G. Kotlyarova the landscape agricultural systems (LASs) were mastered throughout the Krasnogvardeisky district (132 thousand ha). Our investigations showed that the purpose for which LASs were created is reached. Obtained results showed that it is possible to prevent erosive losses and to raise soil fertility. Restoration of soil fertility is presented in terms of increasing of crops productivity-on 25%. Transformation of a landscape basis has increased the general biological capacity of territory more than twice and exchangeable biological capacity by 32%. All these facts have raised assimilability of the transformed territory that allows to consider it, unlike traditional, not as source ??2 in atmosphere, and as fixed carbon tank which capacity can reach 0,71 t/ha. In turn the intensification of substances circulation leads to increasing of plant production efficiency. Excess is from 14% (productivity of labour expenses) to 43.2% (use efficiency of PAR). In intensively mastered agricultural district (arable lands more than 80%) agroecosystems have been formed, allowing besides its basic function: soil preservation, steady reception of agricultural production, to carry out also the major biospheric function - increasing biological variety, creation of a favorable inhabitancy for live organisms, including human.
Distribution of local entropy in the Hilbert space of bi-partite quantum systems: Origin of Jaynes' principle

description: For a closed bi-partite quantum system partitioned into system proper and environment we interprete the microcanonical and the canonical condition as constraints for the interaction between those two subsystems. In both cases the possible pure-state trajectories are confined to certain regions in Hilbert space. We show that in a properly defined thermodynamical limit almost all states within those accessible regions represent states of some maximum local entropy. For the microcanonical condition this dominant state still depends on the initial state; for the canonical condition it coincides with that defined by Jaynes' principle. It is these states which thermodynamical systems should generically evolve into.

description: We present a sample of galaxies with the Dark Energy Survey (DES) photometry that replicates the properties of the BOSS CMASS sample. The CMASS galaxy sample has been well characterized by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) collaboration and was used to obtain the most powerful redshift-space galaxy clustering measurements to date. A joint analysis of redshift-space distortions (such as those probed by CMASS from SDSS) and a galaxy-galaxy lensing measurement for an equivalent sample from DES can provide powerful cosmological constraints. Unfortunately, the DES and SDSS-BOSS footprints have only minimal overlap, primarily on the celestial equator near the SDSS Stripe 82 region. Using this overlap, we build a robust Bayesian model to select CMASS-like galaxies in the remainder of the DES footprint. The newly defined DES-CMASS (DMASS) sample consists of 117,293 effective galaxies covering $1,244 {\rm deg}^2$. Through various validation tests, we show that the DMASS sample selected by this model matches well with the BOSS CMASS sample, specifically in the South Galactic cap (SGC) region that includes Stripe 82. Combining measurements of the angular correlation function and the clustering-z distribution of DMASS, we constrain the difference in mean galaxy bias and mean redshift between the BOSS CMASS and DMASS samples to be $Δb = 0.010^{+0.045}_{-0.052}$ and $Δz = \left( 3.46^{+5.48}_{-5.55} \right) \times 10^{-3}$ for the SGC portion of CMASS, and $Δb = 0.044^{+0.044}_{-0.043} $ and $Δz= ( 3.51^{+4.93}_{-5.91}) \times 10^{-3}$ for the full CMASS sample. These values indicate that the mean bias of galaxies and mean redshift in the DMASS sample is consistent with both CMASS samples within $1σ$.

description: Smoke-water (SW) had been reported to improve the growth of Isatis indigotica, a Chinese medicinal plant. However, there were very few reports on the mechanism of smoke-water improving plant growth. In this study the effects of smoke-water on the photosynthetic characteristics of I. indigotica seedlings were investigated for the purpose of understanding the mechanism behind this improved plant growth. The results showed that net photosynthetic rate (Pn) was increased by smoke-water, reaching a maximum on 15, 5 and 15 d after treatment with smoke-water at dilutions of 1:500, 1:1000 and 1:2000 respectively. Transpiration rate (Tr) and stomatal conductance (Gs) both showed similar trends toPn, however, intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) was decreased with smoke-water treatment. The Fv/Fm was not significantly influenced by smoke-water treatment. The ?PSII was markedly promoted with the application of smoke-water (1:1000) compared with the control and the coefficient of photochemical quenching (qP) showed a similar trend to ?PSII. However the coefficient of non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll (NPQ) was decreased with treatment of smoke-water. These findings indicate that smoke-water treatment induce an increase in photosynthesis and suggest the main factors leading to this might be the improved stomatal conductance and the enhanced level of the photochemical efficiency of PSII in leaves.

description: Growing awareness of the critical role Indigenous People and Local Communities (IPLC) play in biodiversity conservation has underscored the need to shift conservation practices towards empowering IPLCs, supporting their land rights, traditional practices, and facilitating their political involvement. Despite IPLCs governing over 32% of global land, historically, these communities have faced systemic marginalization and violence in the name of conservation. In response, international calls to action and policies have aimed to enhance IPLC participation in environmental governance through mechanisms like co-management. Adaptive Co-management (ACM) emerges as a promising approach, combining adaptive management’s flexibility with co-management’s collaborative principles. This study evaluates the ACM framework within the Maijuna-Kichwa Regional Conservation Area (MKRCA) in the Peruvian Amazon, established to protect the ancestral lands and biocultural resources of the Maijuna and Kichwa communities. Using Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) and appreciative action inquiry, we conducted interviews with 36 community members to assess their perspectives on the MKRCA’s co-management. Findings reveal significant improvements in resource abundance and community safety but also highlight issues with governmental support, communication, and equitable participation. The study emphasizes the need for continuous evaluation and enhanced stakeholder engagement to optimize ACM’s effectiveness, offering culturally responsive recommendations to strengthen the MKRCA’s management and achieve its conservation objectives.

description: Nigeria is blessed with natural and human resources required to produce rice to meet its local consumption. These resources are spread across all the agro-ecological zones of the country. Despite the availability of these resources, rice production in Nigeria could still not meet the local consumption and over 40% of the crop is imported annually to complement the local production. Several studies have revealed biotic and abiotic stresses as the major impediment to the production of the crop. Weeds are the most prominent of all the stresses across all the ecologies in term of yield reduction, labour demand and control cost. Yield losses of 35-75% and 70-100% have been recorded in low land and upland ecologies respectively as a result of weed interference. The problem of weed is worse than any of the other stress mentioned above except for water stress in low land ecology. This paper reviews the various weed management options that could be adopted for optimal rice yield, by the resource poor farmers of Nigeria.

description: Abstract: We investigate the case of two interacting fluids in homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies with a non-linear interaction term. The interaction term avoids the unrealistic form generally used in the literature, beginning with Tolman, in which the interaction is zero when the Hubble parameter vanishes. A variety of exact solutions for the scale factor are found and describe a range of new behaviors. We also extend the analysis of possible cosmological solutions with interacting fluids when curvature is taken into consideration. We use an example of energy exchange between radiation and scalar field to alleviate the flatness problem.
In-medium pion weak decay constants

description: In nuclear matter, the pion weak decay constant is separated into the two components $f_t, f_s$ corresponding to the time and space components of the axial-vector current. Using QCD sum rules, we compute the two decay constants from the pseudoscalar-axial vector correlation function in the matter $i \int d^4x~ e^{ip\cdot x} < ρ| T[{\bar d}(x) i γ_5 u (x)~ {\bar u}(0) γ_μγ_5 d (0)] | ρ>$. It is found that the sum rule for $f_t$ satisfies the in-medium Gell-Mann--Oakes--Renner (GOR) relation precisely while the $f_s$ sum rule does not. The $f_s$ sum rule contains the non-negligible contribution from the dimension 5 condensate $_N + {1\over 8} < {\bar q} g_s σ\cdot {\cal G} q >_N$ in addition to the in-medium quark condensate. Using standard set of QCD parameters and ignoring the in-medium change of the pion mass, we obtain $f_t =105$ MeV at the nuclear saturation density. The prediction for $f_s$ depends on values of the dimension 5 condensate and on the Borel mass. However, the OPE constrains that $f_s/f_t \ge 1 $, which does not agree with the prediction from the in-medium chiral perturbation theory. Depending on the value of the dimension 5 condensate, $f_s$ at the saturation density is found to be in the range $ 112 \sim 134$ MeV at the Borel mass $M^2 \sim 1$ GeV$^2$.

description: Aloe secundiflora Synonym: Aloe floramaculata, Aloe marsabitensis, Aloe engleri belongs to the family Asphodelaceae. Aloe leaf gel and Aloe exudates are the main components. The gel is derived from parenchytomous cells while exudates are derived from the inner epidermal layers. The gel consists of mainly polysaccharides while the exudates consists of a mixture of phenolic compounds mainly athrones, chromones and phenyl pyrones. Leaf components of Aloe have been credited for antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral and anthelmintic medicinal properties. The effectiveness of Aloe secundiflora extracts on the most prevalent nematode of chicken Ascaridia galli was conducted in vitro. The results of this study indicate that Hexane, Ethylacetate, Acetone, Methanol and chloroform extracts were found active in hindering the development of Ascaridia galli eggs to larval stage three (L3), and this was dependent on the concentration of the crude extract. The lowest concentration of the various extracts (5 mg/ml) had an inhibition percent (IP), 75.52%, 79.60%, 87.21%, 86.13% and 43.6% respectively. The highest concentration of the extracts was (50 mg/ml), at this level the inhibition percent was found higher than in the lowest extracts concentrations i.e., 91.84%, 97.55%, 100%, 99.46% and 91.29% respectively. Aloe secundiflora extracts therefore have inhibitory effects on the Ascaridia galli larval development in vitro. Phytochemical tests on the extracts revealed the presence of various chemical compounds.
