description: We present an investigation of the total decay rate of the (ground state) B_c meson within the framework of the relativistic constituent quark model formulated on the light-front (LF). The exclusive semileptonic (SL) and nonleptonic (NL) beauty and charm decays of the B_c meson are described through vector and axial hadronic form factors, which are calculated in terms of a constituent quark model LF wave functions. The latter ones are derived via the Hamiltonian LF formalism using as input the update versions of the constituent quark model. The inclusive SL and NL partial rates are calculated within a convolution approach inspired by the partonic model and involving the same B_c wave function which is used for evaluation of the exclusive modes. The framework incorporates systematically 84 exclusive and 44 inclusive partial rates corresponding to the underlying \bar{b}\to\bar{c} and c\to s quark decays. Based on our approach we findτ_{B_c}=0.59 \pm 0.06 ps where the theoretical uncertainty is dominated by the uncertainty in the choice of LF wave functions and the threshold values for the hadron continuum. For the branching fractions of the B^+_c \to J/ψμ^+ν_μ and B_c^+\to J/ψπ^+ decays we obtain 1.6 % and 0.1 %, respectively.

description: Differential microhabitat use may be beneficial to achieving fitness in seasonally variable environmental conditions. To explore whether the microhabitat use of the nocturnal Schlegel’s Japanese gecko, Gekko japonicus, varies seasonally and depends on juvenile, male, and female reproductive groups, we investigated five categorical and five quantitative measure variables of microhabitat use in a wild population both in spring and summer. Most geckos were found on white, vertical planes of concrete and plastered brick walls. None of the categorical variables (type of location, substrate, substrate color, light source, and refuge) significantly differed according to season or group, while substrate temperature and irradiance at the location where geckos were observed and the distance from the nearest potential refuge were significantly greater in summer than in spring. The quantitative measure variables did not differ among the reproductive groups. These results suggest that G. japonicus seasonally adjusts its microhabitat use mainly in terms of quantitative measure variables rather than categorical variables.

description: The quenching "maintenance'" and related "cooling flow" problems are important in galaxies from Milky Way mass through clusters. We investigate this in halos with masses $\sim 10^{12}-10^{14}\,{\rm M}_{\odot}$, using non-cosmological high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations with the FIRE-2 (Feedback In Realistic Environments) stellar feedback model. We specifically focus on physics present without AGN, and show that various proposed "non-AGN" solution mechanisms in the literature, including Type Ia supernovae, shocked AGB winds, other forms of stellar feedback (e.g. cosmic rays), magnetic fields, Spitzer-Braginskii conduction, or "morphological quenching" do not halt or substantially reduce cooling flows nor maintain "quenched" galaxies in this mass range. We show that stellar feedback (including cosmic rays from SNe) alters the balance of cold/warm gas and the rate at which the cooled gas within the galaxy turns into stars, but not the net baryonic inflow. If anything, outflowing metals and dense gas promote additional cooling. Conduction is important only in the most massive halos, as expected, but even at $\sim 10^{14}\,{\rm M}_{\odot}$ reduces inflow only by a factor $\sim 2$ (owing to saturation effects and anisotropic suppression). Changing the morphology of the galaxies only slightly alters their Toomre-$Q$ parameter, and has no effect on cooling (as expected), so has essentially no effect on cooling flows or maintaining quenching. This all supports the idea that additional physics, e.g., AGN feedback, must be important in massive galaxies.

Types Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard.
Etymology Named after the accomplished collector, myrmecologist and field biologist Stefan Cover.
diagnosis Similar in various traits to antillana, gauthieri, and hetschkoi, differing as follows.
Major: mostly reddish yellow; all of promesonotum rugoreticulate; rugoreticulum on head extends from antennal fossa back to the outer portions of the vertex; rest of the dorsal surface of the head variously carinulate or rugulose; humerus in dorsal-oblique view elevated to 2X the height of the mesonotal convexity above the metanotal groove; postpetiole spinose. Minor: most of head and mesosoma rugoreticulate, as illustrated; occiput broad and with thin nuchal collar; propodeal spines equilateral ly triangular.
Measurements (mm) Holotype major: HW 1.50, HL 1.60, SL 0.66, EL 0.14, PW 0.78. Paratype minor: HW 0.66, HL 0.70, SL 0.64, EL 0.10, PW 0.46.
Color Major: most of body and appendages light reddish yellow ("orange"); mandibles, anterior rim of midclypeus, and all of
lateral wings of clypeus plain medium brown; gaster light reddish brown.
Minor: concolorous light reddish yellow except for gaster, which is plain medium brown.
Range Known from the type locality, and from a series collected at El Espinal, near Michelena, Tachira, Venezuela (J. Lattke).
Biology Four of five colonies collected by Stefan Cover (personal communication) in the St. George County mountains of Trinidad were in mature montane rainforest and one was in secondary montane rainforest. All were nesting in rotten sticks on the forest floor. The colonies contained a single queen and fewer than 200 workers. One of the five nests contained a seed cache. In a colony maintained in an artificial nest by Cover, the minors defended the nest against fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) allowed to forage in the vicinity, but the large majors ("soldiers") hid inside the nest, leading Cover to feel some concern over having a species named in his honor that displays such a conspicuous degree of cowardly behavior. (Actually, he agreed that majors highly specialized to serve as seed millers often avoid combat.)

description: In his works, "Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing" and "Ending ESG and Restoring the Economic Enlightenment," the author argues that climate science must be depoliticized and more scientifically grounded. He critiques the assumption-driven nature of much climate science and the resulting uncertainty in climate policies. The author asserts that ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles are fundamentally flawed and should be abandoned. Instead, he advocates for a shift toward impact investing, which links values and value creation. He contends that ESG, despite its initial intentions, fails to address key economic and environmental challenges effectively. Drawing from diverse examples, he highlights the risks of focusing too much on ESG metrics and the need for policies that prioritize human welfare, economic growth, and long-term resilience. The author emphasizes a balanced approach that considers adaptation and mitigation alongside carbon reduction.
Exact gauge invariant mass dependence of α_s through two loops

description: A physically defined QCD coupling parameter naturally incorporates massive quark flavor thresholds in a gauge invariant, renormalization scale independent and analytical way. In this paper we summarize recent results for the finite-mass fermionic corrections to the heavy quark potential through two loops leading to the numerical solution of the physical and mass dependent Gell-Mann Low function. The decoupling-, massless- and Abelian-limits are reproduced and an analytical fitting function is obtained in the V-scheme. Thus the gauge invariant mass dependence of $α_V$ is now known through two loops. Possible applications in lattice analyses, heavy quark physics and effective charges are briefly discussed.

description: Abstract: Background: Ergot, caused by the fungal pathogen Claviceps purpurea, infects the female flowers of a range of cereal crops, including wheat. To understand the interaction between C. purpurea and hexaploid wheat we undertook an extensive examination of the reprogramming of the wheat transcriptome in response to C. purpurea infection through floral tissues (i.e. the stigma, transmitting and base ovule tissues of the ovary) and over time. Results: C. purpurea hyphae were observed to have grown into and down the stigma at 24 h (H) after inoculation. By 48H hyphae had grown through the transmitting tissue into the base, while by 72H hyphae had surrounded the ovule. By 5 days (D) the ovule had been replaced by fungal tissue. Differential gene expression was first observed at 1H in the stigma tissue. Many of the wheat genes differentially transcribed in response to C. purpurea infection were associated with plant hormones and included the ethylene (ET), auxin, cytokinin, gibberellic acid (GA), salicylic acid and jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthetic and signaling pathways. Hormone-associated genes were first detected in the stigma and base tissues at 24H, but not in the transmitting tissue. Genes associated with GA and JA pathways were seen in the stigma at 24H, while JA and ET-associated genes were identified in the base at 24H. In addition, several defence-related genes were differential expressed in response to C. purpurea infection, including antifungal proteins, endocytosis/exocytosis-related proteins, NBS-LRR class proteins, genes involved in programmed cell death, receptor protein kinases and transcription factors. Of particular interest was the identification of differential expression of wheat genes in the base tissue well before the appearance of fungal hyphae, suggesting that a mobile signal, either pathogen or plant-derived, is delivered to the base prior to colonisation. Conclusions: Multiple host hormone biosynthesis and signalling pathways were significantly perturbed from an early stage in the wheat – C. purpurea interaction. Differential gene expression at the base of the ovary, ahead of arrival of the pathogen, indicated the potential presence of a long-distance signal modifying host gene expression.

description: This paper mainly establishes comparison results for eigenvalues of $\curl\curl$ operator and Stokes operator. For three-dimensional simply connected bounded domains, the $k$-th eigenvalue of $\curl\curl$ operator under tangent boundary condition or normal boundary condition is strictly smaller than the $k$-th eigenvalue of Stokes operator. For any dimension $n\geq2$, the first eigenvalue of Stokes operator is strictly larger than the first eigenvalue of Dirichlet Laplacian. For three-dimensional strictly convex domains, the first eigenvalue of $\curl\curl$ operator under tangent boundary condition or normal boundary condition is strictly larger than the second eigenvalue of Neumann Laplacian.

description: Strong gravitational lensing offers a wealth of astrophysical information on the background source it affects, provided the lensed source can be reconstructed as if it was seen in the absence of lensing. In the present work, we illustrate how sparse optimisation can address the problem. As a first step towards a full free-form lens modelling technique, we consider linear inversion of the lensed source under sparse regularisation and joint deblending from the lens light profile. The method is based on morphological component analysis, assuming a known mass model. We show with numerical experiments that representing the lens and source light using an undecimated wavelet basis allows us to reconstruct the source and to separate it from the foreground lens at the same time. Both the source and lens light have a non-analytic form, allowing for the flexibility needed in the inversion to represent arbitrarily small and complex luminous structures in the lens and source. in addition, sparse regularisation avoids over-fitting the data and does not require the use of any adaptive mesh or pixel grid. As a consequence, our reconstructed sources can be represented on a grid of very small pixels. Sparse regularisation in the wavelet domain also allows for automated computation of the regularisation parameter, thus minimising the impact of arbitrary choice of initial parameters. Our inversion technique for a fixed mass distribution can be incorporated in future lens modelling technique iterating over the lens mass parameters. The python package corresponding to the algorithms described in this article can be downloaded via the github platform at https://github.com/herjy/SLIT.

description: Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are rapidly developing systems widely used for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater prior to their discharge into the environment. Membrane fouling is the most important challenge in MBRs, because it negatively affects membrane performance, resulting in low permeate flux, higher transmembrane pressure and frequent membrane cleaning/replacement. In this study, the effect of tea and coffee on sludge characteristics, membrane fouling and the bacterial signalling molecule N-butyryl-l-homoserine lactone (C4-HSL) in a membrane bioreactor system were investigated. For this purpose, four different continuously operated membrane bioreactors, treating synthetic domestic wastewater and dairy wastewater were operated in parallel under the same conditions. The results indicated that the soluble microbial products (SMP) and the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in the reactors showed similar trends for both synthetic domestic and dairy wastewater, where protein levels were higher than carbohydrate levels. Other parameters such as floc size, zeta potential, hydrophobicity, sludge volume index and capillary suction time were also analysed prior to and after the addition of coffee and tea. Analysis of the wastewater samples by GC-MS revealed that coffee and tea significantly enhance the extraction efficiency of C4-HSL. The results obtained in this study can serve as a good basis for further research.

description: We present a comparison between Monte Carlo simulations and a semi-analytical approach that reproduces the theoretical probability distribution functions of the solar neutrino fluxes, stemming from the $pp$, $pep$, $hep$, $^7\mathrm{Be}$, $^8\mathrm{B}$, $^{13}\mathrm{N}$, $^{15}\mathrm{O}$, and $^{17}\mathrm{F}$ source reactions. We obtain good agreement between the two approaches. Thus, the semi-analytical method yields confidence intervals that closely match those found, based on Monte Carlo simulations, and points towards the same general symmetries of the investigated probability distribution functions. Furthermore, the negligible computational cost of this method is a clear advantage over Monte Carlo simulations, making it trivial to take new observational constraints on the input parameters into account.

Types Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard.
Etymology L cuprina, of copper, referring to the color.
Diagnosis A small, reddish yellow species belonging to a group of ambiguous species composing the " carapuna complex" (see list in heading above), close to the flavens group and possibly better placed there. All are relatively small in size, with the major possessing a reduced mesonotal convexity, as well as cephalic sculpturing that consists entirely of longitudinal carinulae extending to or almost to the occipital border seen in full face. All also have a minor with a broad, concave occiput, which lacks a collar. Among these species, P. cuprina is close to carapuna but distinguished from it by color and the absence of foveolation on the postpetiolar node of the major and posterior three-fourths of the dorsal head surface of the minor. Measurements (mm) Holotype major: HW 1.02, HL 1.16, SL 0.58, EL 0.16, PW 0.56. Paratype minor: HW 0.60, HL 0.66, SL 0.56, EL 0.12, PW 0.38. color Major and minor: concolorous medium yellow, with slight reddish tinge.
Range I have seen an additional series of cuprina from Tingo Maria, Madre de Dios, Peru, collected by W. L. Brown.

description: We compute the heavy quarkonium mass of $l\not= 0$ (angular momentum) states, with otherwise arbitrary quantum numbers, with next-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (N$^3$LL) accuracy. This constitutes the first observable in heavy quarkonium for which two orders of the weak-coupling expansion sensitive to the ultrasoft scale are known and the resummation of ultrasoft logarithms is made. We also obtain, for the first time, resummed N$^3$LL expressions for the different fine and hyperfine energy splittings of these states, which are not sensitive to the ultrasoft scale but still require resummation of (hard) logarithms. We do this analysis for the equal and non-equal mass cases. We also study an alternative computational scheme that treats the static potential exactly. We then perform a comprehensive phenomenological analysis: we apply these results to the $n=2$, $l=1$ bottomonium, $B_c$ and charmonium systems and study their convergence.

description: The presence of not yet detected intruder states in $^{8}Be$ e.g. a $J=2^{+}$ intruder at 9 $MeV$ excitation would affect the shape of the $β^{\mp }$-delayed alpha spectra of $^{8}Li$ and $^{8}B$. In order to test the plausibility of this assumption, shell model calculations with up to $4\hbar ω$ excitations in $^{8}Be$ (and up to $2\hbar ω$ excitations in $^{10}Be$) were performed. With the above restrictions on the model spaces, the calculations did not yield any low-lying intruder state in $^{8}Be$. Another approach -the simple deformed oscillator model with self-consistent frequencies and volume conservation gives an intruder state in $^{8}Be$ which is lower in energy than the above shell model results, but its energy is still considerably higher than 9 $MeV$.

description: Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are rapidly developing systems widely used for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater prior to their discharge into the environment. Membrane fouling is the most important challenge in MBRs, because it negatively affects membrane performance, resulting in low permeate flux, higher trans-membrane pressure and frequent membrane cleaning/replacement. In this study, the effect of tea and coffee on sludge characteristics, membrane fouling and the bacterial signaling molecule N-butyryl-L-homoserine lactone (C4-HSL) in a membrane bioreactor system were investigated. For this purpose, four different continuously operated membrane bioreactors, treating synthetic domestic wastewater and dairy wastewater were operated in parallel under the same conditions. The results indicated that the soluble microbial products (SMP) and the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in the reactors showed similar trends for both synthetic domestic and dairy wastewater, where protein levels were higher than carbohydrate levels. Other parameters such as floc size, zeta potential, hydrophobicity, sludge volume index and capillary suction time were also analyzed prior to and after the addition of coffee and tea. Analysis of the wastewater samples by GC-MS revealed that coffee and tea significantly enhance the extraction efficiency of C4-HSL. The results obtained in this study can serve as a good basis for further research.

description: We study disorder induced transition between quantum Hall states and insulator state in a {\it lattice} model. We find the positions of the extended states do not change as disorder strength is varied. As a consequence, there are direct transitions from all Landau level quantum Hall states to insulator states, in contrast to the global phase diagram from early studies based on continuous models. We also provide the microscopic understanding of the transition in terms of the topological properties of the system.

description: Abstract: Background: Despite progress that has been made in the treatment of many immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), there remains a need for improved treatments. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) provide the highest form of evidence on the effectiveness of a potential new treatment regimen, but they are extremely expensive and time consuming to conduct. Consequently, much focus has been given in recent years to innovative design and analysis methods that could improve the efficiency of RCTs. In this article, we review the current use and future potential of these methods within the context of IMID trials. Methods: We provide a review of several innovative methods that would provide utility in IMID research. These include novel study designs (adaptive trials, Sequential Multi-Assignment Randomised Trials, basket, and umbrella trials) and data analysis methodologies (augmented analyses of composite responder endpoints, using high-dimensional biomarker information to stratify patients, and emulation of RCTs from routinely collected data). IMID trials are now well-placed to embrace innovative methods. For example, well-developed statistical frameworks for adaptive trial design are ready for implementation, whilst the growing availability of historical datasets makes the use of Bayesian methods particularly applicable. To assess whether and how these innovative methods have been used in practice, we conducted a review via PubMed of clinical trials pertaining to any of 51 IMIDs that were published between 2018 and 20 in five high impact factor clinical journals. Results: Amongst 97 articles included in the review, 19 (19.6%) used an innovative design method, but most of these were relatively straightforward examples of innovative approaches. Only two (2.1%) reported the use of evidence from routinely collected data, cohorts, or biobanks. Eight (9.2%) collected high-dimensional data. Conclusions: Application of innovative statistical methodology to IMID trials has the potential to greatly improve efficiency, to generalise and extrapolate trial results, and to further personalise treatment strategies. Currently, such methods are infrequently utilised in practice. New research is required to ensure that IMID trials can benefit from the most suitable methods.

description: We compute the wall velocity in the MSSM. We therefore generalize the SM equations of motion for bubble walls moving through a hot plasma at the electroweak phase transition and calculate the friction terms which describe the viscosity of the plasma. We give the general expressions and apply them to a simple model where stops, tops and W bosons contribute to the friction. In a wide range of parameters including those which fulfil the requirements of baryogenesis we find a wall velocity of order v = 0.05-0.1 much below the SM value.

description: Nanoflare models for heating the solar corona usually assume magnetic braiding and reconnection as the source of the energy. However, recent observations at record spatial resolution from the {\sc Sunrise} balloon mission suggest that photospheric magnetic flux cancellation is much more common than previously realised. We therefore examine the possibility of three-dimensional reconnection driven by flux cancellation as a cause of chromospheric and coronal heating. In particular, we estimate how the heights and amount of energy release produced by flux cancellation depend on flux size, flux cancellation speed and overlying field strength.

description: Abstract: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely prescribed anti-inflammatory medicines, but their use can lead to metabolic side-effects. These may occur through direct actions of GCs on peripheral organs, but could also be mediated by the hypothalamic AgRP neurons, which can increase food intake and modify peripheral metabolism. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the metabolic effects of chronic treatment with the GC corticosterone (Cort, 75 μg/ml in drinking water) in mice lacking the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) on AgRP neurons. Female AgRP-GR KO mice had delayed onset of Cort-induced hyperphagia. However, AgRP-GR KO had little impact on the increased body weight or adiposity seen with 3 weeks Cort treatment. Cort caused hepatic steatosis in control mice, but in Cort treated female AgRP-GR KO mice there was a 25% reduction in liver lipid content and lower plasma triglycerides. Additionally, Cort treatment led to hyperinsulinaemia, but compared to controls, Cort-treated AgRP-GR KO mice had both lower fasting insulin levels and lower insulin levels during a glucose tolerance test. In conclusion, these data indicate that GCs do act through AgRP neurons to contribute, at least in part, to the adverse metabolic consequences of chronic GC treatment.

Universal Relations in Composite Higgs Models

description: We initiate a phenomenological study of `universal relations' in composite Higgs models, which are dictated by nonlinear shift symmetries acting on the 125 GeV Higgs boson. These are relations among one Higgs couplings with two electroweak gauge bosons (HVV), two Higgses couplings with two electroweak gauge bosons (HHVV), one Higgs couplings with three electroweak gauge bosons (HVVV), as well as triple gauge boson couplings (TGC), which are all controlled by a single input parameter: the decay constant $f$ of the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Higgs boson. Assuming custodial invariance in strong sector, the relation is independent of the symmetry breaking pattern in the UV, for an arbitrary symmetric coset $G/H$. The complete list of corrections to HVV, HHVV, HVVV and TGC couplings in composite Higgs models is presented to all orders in $1/f$, and up to four-derivative level, without referring to a particular $G/H$. We then present several examples of universal relations in ratios of coefficients which could be extracted experimentally. Measuring the universal relation requires a precision sensitive to effects of dimension-8 operators in the effective Lagrangian and highlights the importance of verifying the tensor structure of HHVV interactions in the standard model, which remains untested to date.

description: Abstract: Non-centrosomal microtubule arrays serve crucial functions in cells, yet the mechanisms of their generation are poorly understood. During budding of the epithelial tubes of the salivary glands in the Drosophila embryo, we previously demonstrated that the activity of pulsatile apical-medial actomyosin depends on a longitudinal non-centrosomal microtubule array. Here we uncover that the exit from the last embryonic division cycle of the epidermal cells of the salivary gland placode leads to one centrosome in the cells losing all microtubule-nucleation capacity. This restriction of nucleation activity to the second, Centrobin-enriched, centrosome is key for proper morphogenesis. Furthermore, the microtubule-severing protein Katanin and the minus-end-binding protein Patronin accumulate in an apical-medial position only in placodal cells. Loss of either in the placode prevents formation of the longitudinal microtubule array and leads to loss of apical-medial actomyosin and impaired apical constriction. We thus propose a mechanism whereby Katanin-severing at the single active centrosome releases microtubule minus-ends that are then anchored by apical-medial Patronin to promote formation of the longitudinal microtubule array crucial for apical constriction and tube formation.
