description: We report detection of quasi-periodic (1.5 day) dimming of HD 240779, the solar-mass primary in a 5" visual binary (also TIC 284730577), by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. This dimming, as has been shown for other "dipper" stars, is likely due to occultation by circumstellar dust. The barycentric space motion, lithium abundance, rotation, and chromospheric emission of the stars in this system point to an age of ~125 Myr, and possible membership in the AB Doradus moving group. As such it occupies an important but poorly explored intermediate regime of stars with transient dimming between young stellar objects in star forming regions and main sequence stars, and between UX Orionis-type Ae/Be stars and M-type "dippers". HD 240779, but not its companion BD+10714B, has WISE-detected excess infrared emission at 12 and 22 microns indicative of circumstellar dust. We propose that infrared emission is produced by collisions of planetesimals during clearing of a residual disk at the end of rocky planet formation, and that quasi-periodic dimming is produced by the rapid disintegration of a 100 km planetesimal near the silicate evaporation radius. Further studies of this and similar systems will illuminate a poorly understood final phase of rocky planet formation like that which produced the inner Solar System.

 Remarks. Males and females of this species have both macropterous and apterous forms; apterous forms have reduced mesosomal parts and smooth sutures. The distribution of this species is restricted to the West Palearctic, whereas E. hattorii, a former synonym of E. caudatus, occurs in the East Palearctic (Belokobylskij 2009b). Kula (2011: table 1, p. 56) mistakenly listed that E. caudatus occurs in the New World and inadvertently excluded Ecphylus arcuatus Muesebeck (female macropterous, male micropterous).

description: A cosmological model with perfect fluid and self-interacting quintessence field is considered in the framework of the spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) geometry. By assuming that all physical quantities depend on the volume scale factor of the Universe, the general solution of the gravitational field equations can be expressed in an exact parametric form. The quintessence field is a free parameter. With an appropriate choice of the scalar field a class of exact solutions is obtained, with an exponential type scalar field potential fixed via the gravitational field equations. The general physical behavior of the model is consistent with the recent cosmological scenario favored by supernova Type Ia observations, indicating an accelerated expansion of the Universe.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Heir Property in the African American Community: From Promised Lands to Problem Lands

subject: Interstate Succession

description: African American landowners have been reluctant to take advantage of intergenerational succession laws which provide for an orderly transfer of property from one generation to the next. This reluctance has led to a prevalence of heir property. Heir property is created when a person dies intestate. Heir property has created an impediment to wealth accumulation and has contributed to African American land loss in America. Partition actions are a byproduct of heir property which has operated to accelerate the loss of real property in the African American community. The Uniform Partition of Heir Property Act provides for procedural safeguards that would allow for cotenants of heir property to buy out other heirs and provide more discernable notices of partition actions. These factors will likely militate against the precipitous loss of African American lands due to partition lawsuits initiated because of heir property.
title: Poisoned fruits: agriculture, ecology, and the limits to aspiration in the eastern Himalaya
Creators: name: Beardmore, Lewis
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the case of a rural community in the Indian Himalaya persisting with cardamom monocropping in the wake of crop disease and blight. Stimulated by the substantial returns that cardamom cultivation can bring, and constrained by debt relations, cultivators have weathered pathogenic shocks, only to find themselves facing uncertainty, precarity and curtailed aspirations. The thesis explores the dilemmas of these uncommon rural subjects, whose entanglement in global cash crop markets has brought prosperity and instability. It challenges the assumptions that smallholders will seek to prioritise risk- mitigation over uncertain advancement and that ecological and agricultural crises produce greater economic diversification. The uneven realization of decades of economic growth in India, combined with the prejudice and marginalisation that Himalayan subjects face, means that farming still offers a comparably better livelihood for many individuals. Examining the conditions of households faced with little alternative but to persist with attenuated cultivation, I ask how people come to an accommodation with an agrarian landscape beset with poisons and pathogens. In this community on the Indo-Bhutanese border, labour relations and interspecies entanglements are characterised by ambivalence, neglect and uncertainty, as human and non-human actors choose alternatively to cooperate or withdraw from human projects. New poisons – manufactured alcohol and imported foodstuffs – have reshaped village sociality, and have come to serve as lenses through which interlocutors discuss the vulnerability that has arisen with market engagement. Foregrounding the material and affective relationships that cultivators hold with their crops and the pathogens that predate them, the thesis shows how human lives and livelihoods are entangled with forms of non-human agency. The thesis locates cultivators and their crops within the emerging discourse of the Anthropocene, showing how complex interrelations of human and non-human forces come together in plantation ecologies and global commodity markets in an era of ecological change.

description: The purpose of this study is to examine factors associated with belief in conspiracies about HIV/AIDS among HIV-Positive African American patients. Survey data were collected from 256 African American patients living with HIV/AIDS attending two HIV clinics in Montgomery and Dothan, Alabama. The study used multiple regression analysis to examine how sociodemographic factors contribute to belief in conspiracies about HIV/AIDS. Education and age were significantly related to belief in conspiracies about HIV/AIDS among men and women. Beliefs in conspiracies about HIV/AIDS may be a barrier to HIV prevention among African Americans. Public health officials should work toward obtaining the trust of African Americans by addressing the existing discrimination within the health care system and acknowledging the existence of HIV/AIDS conspiracy beliefs. Conspiracies about HIV/AIDS may be a manifestation to African Americans’ mistrust of the U.S. government and the health system.

description: India and China have been engaged in the border trade for thousands of years through the old silk route used topass through northern India. The importance of border trade lies at various levels; at first, it can be used as animage-building exercise to promote mutual benefits and regional peace. Border trade also plays a pivotal rolein developing friendly neighbourly relations as it helps in reducing trust deficits, encourages constructivism,gives legal backing to the formerly disputed international borders. Border trade also helps in bordermanagement, along with providing economic prosperity to the people residing on the border areas. India's Northeast and China's southwest region fits the rational of border trade, people living in border areas in theseregions have less access to the big marketplaces in their own countries as they are situated in farthest andremotest places. Border trade also helps to develop socio-economic bonds among the people residing at theborders of different countries. Nither BRI would be successful without the inclusion of India, nither India canfulfil the various promises it has made through the various multilateral engagements unless it has disposablefunds to finance them and China is the only country that has the potential to finance them. This paper examinesthe potentials of the border trade between India and China in the 21st century, with a neo-realist point of view.

description: Radiation is important for the propagation of streamers in dielectric liquids. Photoionization is a possibility, but the effect is difficult to differentiate from other contributions. In this work, we model radiation from the streamer head, causing photoionization when absorbed in the liquid. We find that photoionization is local in space (μm-scale). The radiation absorption cross section is modeled considering that the ionization potential (IP) is dependent on the electric field. The result is a steep increase in the ionization rate when the electric field reduces the IP below the energy of the first electronically excited state, which is interpreted as a possible mechanism for changing from slow to fast streamers. By combining a simulation model for slow streamers based on the avalanche mechanism with a change to fast mode based on a photoionization threshold for the electric field, we demonstrate how the conductivity of the streamer channel can be important for switching between slow and fast streamer propagation modes.

description: The consequences of global food and nutrition insecurity, for example, high and fluctuating food prices would have had an impact on individual countries worldwide. This vulnerability in the Caribbean is, in fact, reflected in the recognition that none of the territories are able to produce all the food that is required to feed their populations and ensure that people lead healthy and productive lives. The extent of this exposure is reflected in the high food import bills of many Caribbean countries. Do policymakers and those who most closely influence them, in terms of their decision making for national food security, identify the impact of global food and nutrition insecurity as a main constraint to enhancing national food security in their countries? Is food security the highest priority of the various objectives of the agriculture sector? Using a qualitative approach to answer the above questions, policy makers, planners and key persons who influence policy makers in three diverse Caribbean countries (Trinidad and Tobago, Belize and Barbados) were interviewed and asked to complete an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) questionnaire to rank their priorities. This paper presents some early results of the AHP analysis in an ongoing PhD study. In terms of the criteria weightings, sustainability of the food supply was judged to be far more significant than the level of external dependency. And whereas economic trade-based food security was scored as the most important objective of agriculture, supporting producers and local agribusiness was the second most important surpassing food self-sufficiency and sustainability of the environment, as well as, maximising employment in the agricultural sector and production for the export trade. These results have implications for the plans and policies designed to enhance the level of food security locally and regionally.
Integral representation formulae for the solution of a wave equation with time-dependent damping and mass in the scale-invariant case
Creators: name: Palmieri, Alessandro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper is devoted to derive integral representation formulae for the solution of an inhomogeneous linear wave equation with time-dependent damping and mass terms, that are scale-invariant with respect to the so-called hyperbolic scaling. Yagdjian's integral transform approach is employed for this purpose. The main step in our argument consists in determining the kernel functions for the different integral terms, which are related to the source term and to initial data. We will start with the one dimensional case (in space). We point out that we may not apply in a straightforward way Duhamel's principle to deal with the source term since the coefficients of lower order terms make our model not invariant by time translation. On the contrary, we shall begin with the representation formula for the inhomogeneous equation with vanishing data by using a revised Duhamel's principle. Then, we will derive the representation of the solution in the homogeneous case with nontrivial data. After deriving the formula in the one dimensional case, the classical approach by spherical means is used in order to deal with the odd dimensional case. Finally, using the method of descent, the representation formula in the even dimensional case is proved.

description: This article explores the escalating intersection between traditional and digital repression, focusing specifically on judicial harassment and online smear campaigns. The repression of Thailand's 2020–2021 protests is chosen as an exploratory case because the country's long-standing history of suppressing dissent through weaponized laws and propaganda primarily shaped recent dynamics of repression. We propose a two-pronged mechanism to explain the interplay between judicial harassment and online smear campaigns. Firstly, the campaigns craft narratives that delegitimize individual activists, thereby framing them as targets for legal charges. Secondly, online smear campaigns legitimize severe penalties against activists, mobilizing public endorsement of these legal actions. Our methodology involves three steps. We began with qualitative analysis, using official documents and interviews with targeted activists to assess the extent to which judicial harassment and online smear campaigns were employed as a policy. We then tracked the frequency and content of posts by pro-establishment social media accounts referencing charged protest leaders. Lastly, we compared the timelines of two activists who were frequently mentioned and faced the most charges, revealing an increase in mentions during their pre-trial detention. Ultimately, our analysis bridges the gap between studies on digital repression in autocracies and the autocratic justification of repression.

description: Simple Summary: The prediction of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) aggressiveness is important for treatment planning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) with tomoelastography postprocessing (tomoelastography) in differentiating PNET from healthy pancreatic tissue and to correlate PNET stiffness with aggressiveness using asphericity derived from positron emission tomography (PET) as reference. In this prospective study we showed in a group of 13 patients with PNET that tomoelastography detected PNET by increased stiffness (p < 0.01) with a high diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.96). PNET was positively correlated with PET derived asphericity (r = 0.81). Tomoelastography provides quantitative imaging markers for the detection of PNET and the prediction of greater tumor aggressiveness by increased stiffness. Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of tomoelastography in differentiating pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) from healthy pancreatic tissue and to assess the prediction of tumor aggressiveness by correlating PNET stiffness with PET derived asphericity. Methods: 13 patients with PNET were prospectively compared to 13 age-/sex-matched heathy volunteers (CTR). Multifrequency MR elastography was combined with tomoelastography-postprocessing to provide high-resolution maps of shear wave speed (SWS in m/s). SWS of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET-T) were compared with nontumorous pancreatic tissue in patients with PNET (PNET-NT) and heathy pancreatic tissue (CTR). The diagnostic performance of tomoelastography was evaluated by ROC-AUC analysis. PNET-SWS correlations were calculated with Pearson’s r. Results: SWS was higher in PNET-T (2.02 ± 0.61 m/s) compared to PNET-NT (1.31 ± 0.18 m/s, p < 0.01) and CTR (1.26 ± 0.09 m/s, p < 0.01). An SWS-cutoff of 1.46 m/s distinguished PNET-T from PNET-NT (AUC = 0.89; sensitivity = 0.85; specificity = 0.92) and a cutoff of 1.49 m/s differentiated pancreatic tissue of CTR from PNET-T (AUC = 0.96; sensitivity = 0.92; specificity = 1.00). The SWS of PNET-T was positively correlated with PET derived asphericity (r = 0.81; p = 0.01). Conclusions: Tomoelastography provides quantitative imaging markers for the detection of PNET and the prediction of greater tumor aggressiveness by increased stiffness.

description: Die Leberzirrhose ist eine Erkrankung mit häufig progredientem Verlauf. Patienten entwickeln vermehrt Zirrhose-assoziierte Komplikationen (dekompensierte Leberzirrhose) und sterben letztendlich häufig am sogenannten akut-auf-chronischen Leberversagen mit Multiorganversagen. Bakterielle Infektionen und eine systemische Inflammationreaktion wind wesentliche Faktoren, welche den Verlauf der Erkrankung bestimmen. Allerdings sind die diagnostischen und therapeutischen Optionen bisher unzureichend, um die hohe Letalität der Zirrhose im Endstadium zu verbessern. Ziel der hier gezeigten Habilitationsarbeit war es daher, prognostische Parameter für Patienten mit fortgeschrittener Leberzirrhose zu evaluieren und damit eine Grundlage für die Anpassung von Management-Strategien für Patienten zu liefern. Über den Prognosescore CLIF-C ACLF Score war es möglich Patienten mit besonders hohem Sterberisiko und Dringlichkeit zur Anpassung der Behandlung zu identifizieren. Es zeigte sich, dass eine Dysfunktion der peritonealen neutrophilen Granulozyten für die hohe Rate an infektiösen Komplikation, insbesondere im Peritoneum, verantwortlich sein können und dass eine übermäßige Aktivierung von Neutrophilen und Monozyten mit Sequestration von Mikropartikeln im Aszites Ausdruck einer allgemeinen Immunaktivierung und schlechter Prognose sind. Zudem konnten neue PCR (polymerase chain reaction) basierte Methoden etabliert werden, über die eine rasche Identifikation und Charakterisierung von bakteriellen und fungalen Infektionen möglich ist. Auf Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse sollte nun in Zukunft evaluiert werden, ob gezielte Anpassung der Diagnostik und Therapie die Prognose von Patienten mit fortgeschrittener Leberzirrhose verbessern kann.

description: Absorbed power of nanoparticles during magnetic hyperthermia can be well determined from changes in the quality factor ($Q$ factor) of a resonator, in which the radiofrequency (RF) absorbent is placed. We present an order of magnitude improvement in the $Q$ factor measurement accuracy over conventional methods by studying the switch-on and off transient signals of the resonators. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) console is ideally suited to acquire the transient signals and it also allows to employ the so-called pulse phase-cycling to remove transient artifacts. The improved determination of the absorbed power is demonstrated on various resonators in the 1-30 MHz range including standard solenoids and also a birdcage resonator. This leads to the possibility to detect minute amounts of ferrite nanoparticles which are embedded in the body and also the amount of the absorbed power. We demonstrate this capability on a phantom study, where the exact location of an embedded ferrite is clearly detected.

description: Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are potential game changers in modern medical care with an anticipated major impact for patients and society. They are a new drug class often referred to as "living drugs," and are based on complex components such as vectors, cells and even tissues. The production of such ATMPs involves innovative biotechnological methods. In this survey, we have assessed the perception of European citizens regarding ATMPs and health care in Europe, in relation to other important topics, such as safety and security, data protection, climate friendly energy supply, migration, and others. A crucial question was to determine to what extent European citizens wish to support public funding of innovations in healthcare and reimbursement strategies for ATMPs. To answer this, we conducted an online survey in 13 European countries (representative of 85.3% of the entire EU population including the UK in 2020), surveying a total of 7,062 European citizens. The survey was representative with respect to adult age groups and gender in each country. Healthcare had the highest ranking among important societal topics. We found that 83% of the surveyed EU citizens were in support of more public funding of technologies in the field of ATMPs. Interestingly, 74% of respondents are in support of cross-border healthcare for patients with rare diseases to receive ATMP treatments and 61% support the reimbursement of very expensive ATMPs within the European health care system despite the current lack of long-term efficacy data. In conclusion, healthcare is a top ranking issue for European Citizens, who additionally support funding of new technologies to enable the wider application of ATMPs in Europe.

description: We analyze the effects of an in-medium broadening of nucleon resonances on the exclusive photoproduction of mesons on nuclei as well as on the total photoabsorption cross sections in a transport calculation. We show that the resonance widths observed in semi-inclusive photoproduction on nuclei are insensitive to an in-medium broadening of nucleon resonances. This is due to a simple effect: the sizeable width of the nuclear surface and Fermi motion.

Differences in Faraday Rotation Between Adjacent Extragalactic Radio Sources as a Probe of Cosmic Magnetic Fields

description: Faraday rotation measures (RMs) of extragalactic radio sources provide information on line-of-sight magnetic fields, including contributions from our Galaxy, source environments, and the intergalactic medium (IGM). Looking at differences in RMs, $Δ$RM, between adjacent sources on the sky can help isolate these different components. In this work, we classify adjacent polarized sources in the NVSS as random or physical pairs. We recompute and correct the uncertainties in the NVSS RM catalog, since these were significantly overestimated. Our sample contains 317 physical and 5111 random pairs, all with Galactic latitudes $|b|\ge20^{\circ}$, polarization fractions $\ge2\%$, and angular separations between $1.^{'},$ and $20^{'}$. We find an rms $Δ$RM of $14.9\pm0.4\,$rad m$^{-2}$ and $4.6\pm1.1\,$rad m$^{-2}$ for random and physical pairs, respectively. This means polarized extragalactic sources that are close on the sky, but at different redshifts, have larger differences in RM than two components of one source. This difference of $\sim10\,$rad m$^{-2}$ is significant at $5σ$, and persists in different data subsamples. While there have been other statistical studies of $Δ$RM between adjacent polarized sources, this is the first unambiguous demonstration that some of this RM difference must be extragalactic, thereby providing a firm upper limit on the RM contribution of the IGM. If the $Δ$RMs originate local to the sources, then the local magnetic field difference between random sources is a factor of two larger than between components of one source. Alternatively, attributing the difference in $Δ$RMs to the intervening IGM yields an upper limit on the IGM magnetic field strength of $40\,$nG.

description: Tourism has been the second highest employment generator in Saint Lucia in the aftermath of the downturn of the Banana industry in 1999. Coastal livelihoods have now shifted from the Banana industry to the Tourism and Fishing industry. Fish Fry Events (FFEs) in the coastal communities of Anse-La-Raye (ALR), Dennery (DEN) and Gros-Islet (GI) provide economic opportunities and sustainable livelihoods to both the host regions and the regions where input factors are sourced. This paper defines a comprehensive set of monetary benefits and values derived from FFE in ALR. ALR’s total economic impact was measured to have been EC$11,904.30 and EC$10,811.25 per month for the summer and winter periods respectively with the summer being more elastic than the winter period. Results showed that the economic impact assessment multiplier coefficient for ALR were 1.34 and 1.49 for the summer and winter respectively. FFE is economically significant in ALR year round since it does influence the creation of downstream income and employment and its multiplier coefficients are greater than 1. Furthermore, the number and origin of patrons, resource availability, and length of stay are shown to be the most significant factors that influenced the total economic impact of FFE in ALR.

description: This report evaluates the U.S. and world sugar markets for 2015-2025 using the Global Sugar Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on assumptions that general economic conditions, agricultural policies, population growth, weather conditions, and technological changes remain at the long-run conditions. Both the U.S. and world sugar economies are predicted to remain constant over the next ten years. World sugar prices increased from 18.7 cents/lb in 2009 to 27.0 cents/lb in 2010 and 32.0 cents/lb in 2011 before falling to 18.0 cents/lb in 2013, 16.8 cents/lb in 2014, and 13.4 cent/lb in 2015. World sugar production declined 6.9% in 2015 while consumption increased by 4.2%. World sugar prices are expected to increase to 13.6 cents/lb by 2025. The U.S. wholesale price of sugar is projected to decrease from a 34.9 cents/lb in 2015 to near 33.9 cents/lb by 2025. It is projected that Mexican exports to the United States will decrease from 1.60 million metric tons in 2015 to 1.55 million metric tons in 2025. World trade volumes of sugar are expected to increase throughout the forecast period.

description: We demonstrate, theoretically and experimentally, that statistical mixtures of the vacuum state |0> and the single-photon Fock state |1> are nonclassical according to the Vogel criterion (W. Vogel, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 1849 (2000)), regardless of the vacuum fraction. The ensembles are synthesized via conditional measurements on biphotons generated by means of parametric downconversion, and their quadrature statistics are measured using balanced homodyne detection. A comparative review of various quantum state nonclassicality criteria is presented.
