description: Lung transplantation is a widely accepted therapeutic option for end stage lung disease. Clinical outcome is yet challenged by primary graft failure responsible for the majority of the early mortality, by chronic allograft dysfunction and chronic rejection accounting for more than 30% of deaths after the third postoperative year. Pulmonary surfactant proteins (SP) A, B, C and D are one of the first host defense mechanisms the lung can mount. SP-A in particular, produced by the type II pneumocytes, is active in the innate and adaptive immune system being an opsonin, but also regulating the macrophage and lymphocyte response. The main hypothesis for this project is that pulmonary surfactant protein A polymorphism may determine the early and long term lung allograft survival. Of note SP-A biologic activity seems to be genetically determined and SP-A polymorphisms have been associated to various lung disease. The two SP-A genes SP-A1 and SP-A2  have several polymorphisms within the coding region, SP-A1 (6A, 6A2-20), and SP-A2(1A, 1A0-13). The SP-A gene expression is regulated by cAMP, TTF-1 and glucocorticoids. In vitro studies have indicated that SP-A1 and SP-A2 gene variants may have a variable response to glucocorticoids. We proposed to determine if SP-A gene polymorphism predicts primary graft dysfunction and/or chronic lung allograft dysfunction and if SP-A may serve as a biomarker of lung allograft dysfunction. We also proposed to study the interaction between immunosuppressive drugs and SP-A expression and determine whether this is dependent on SP-A polymorphisms. This study will generate novel information improving our understanding of lung allograft dysfunction. It is conceivable that the information will stimulate the interest for a multi centre study to investigate if SP-A polymorphism may be integrated in the donor lung selection criteria and/or to implement post transplant tailored immunosuppression.

description: Recognizing the role that small family farms contribute to ensuring global food security, improving nutrition, eradicating poverty, ending hunger, conserving biodiversity, achieving environmental sustainability, and helping in addressing migration, the United Nations General Assembly in 2017 declared 2019 to 2028 as the Decade of Family Farming. This resolution aims to promote projects and policies that will reposition family farming at the center of agricultural, environmental, and social policies in national agenda and to achieve a more equitable balanced development; recognize the important roles of women and young farmers and push for their empowerment as a necessary condition and consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (FAO, 2015). IIRR continues to demonstrate the validity of the family farm approach as it worked with small family farmers in the Philippines, particularly in the town of Maragondon in Cavite Province.
Primary production of the Fraser River delta foreshore : yield estimates of emergent vegetation
Creators: name: Yamanaka, Koji
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The emergent vegetation of tidal marshes of the Fraser River foreshore is probably of great importance to the rich life of the foreshore, especially to waterfowl and fish. The vegetation "fixes" solar radiation which is "released" as organic matter in the brackish marsh and salt water marsh ecosystems. Much of the foreshore vegetation, however, has been destroyed by diking and industrial development and more destruction from many sources is threatened. My study was initiated to assay present standing crops of emergent vegetation in the major areas from Point Grey to the International Boundary and also to establish semi-permanent transects for the study of future vegetation change. Fourteen semi-permanent transects, the combined length of which is 7,550 meters (4.7 miles), were established from shore seawards at points in the area from Point Grey to Crescent Beach, roughly a distance of 30 kilometers (19 miles). Both plant and soil samples were collected along the transects, at intervals, in 1973 and 1974; dry matter yield, ash, nitrogen and lignin were determined for plant samples; pH, organic matter and electric conductivity were determined on soil samples. The standing crop of the tidal marshes, estimated to occupy 1,901 hectares (4,697 acres) was approximately 9,408 metric tons of dry matter with an average d.m. yield of 4.9 tons per hectare (4,400 lb./acre). Eight marsh plants contributed overwhelmingly to the d.m. yield: Carex lyngbyei, Soirpus conericanus and Soirpus paludosus alone accounted for 81% of the standing crop in 1974.

description: Many massive early-type galaxies host central radio sources and hot X-ray atmospheres indicating the presence of radio-mechanical active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. The duty cycle and detailed physics of the radio-mode AGN feedback is still a matter of debate. To address these questions, we present 1-2 GHz Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) radio observations of a sample of the 42 nearest optically and X-ray brightest early-type galaxies. We detect radio emission in 41/42 galaxies. However, the galaxy without a radio source, NGC 499, has recently been detected at lower frequencies by the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR). Furthermore, 27/42 galaxies in our sample host extended radio structures and 34/42 sources show environmental interactions in the form of X-ray cavities. We find a significant correlation between the radio flux density and the largest linear size of the radio emission and between the radio power and the luminosity of the central X-ray point-source. The central radio spectral indices of the galaxies span a wide range of values, with the majority of the systems having steep spectra and the rest flat spectra. These results are consistent with AGN activity, where the central radio sources are mostly switched on, thus the duty cycle is very high. 7/14 galaxies with point-like radio emission (Fanaroff-Riley Class 0; FR 0) also show X-ray cavities indicating that, despite the lack of extended radio structures at 1-2 GHz, these AGN do launch jets capable of inflating lobes and cavities.
Analisi del circuito di regolazione responsabile del controllo trascrizionale dei geni Heat-Shock in Helicobacter pylori

description: Helicobacter pylori, un patogeno umano in grado di colonizzare la
nicchia gastrica, è associato a patologie del tratto gastrointestinale di varia
gravità. Per sopravvivere nell’ambiente ostile dello stomaco dell’ospite, e
mettere in atto un’infezione persistente, il batterio si serve di una serie di
fattori di virulenza che includono anche le proteine Heat Shock (chaperone). I
principali geni codificanti le proteine chaperone in H. pylori sono organizzati
in tre operoni trascritti dall’RNA polimerasi contenente il fattore sigma
vegetativo σ80. La trascrizione di due dei tre operoni è regolata negativamente
da due regolatori trascrizionali, HspR e HrcA, mentre il terzo operone è
represso solo da HspR. Fino ad ora, studi molecolari per la comprensione del
ruolo di ciascuna proteina nel controllo trascrizionale dei geni heat shock sono
stati ostacolati dalla citotossicità ed insolubilità di HrcA quando espressa in
sistemi eterologhi.
In questo lavoro, è stata analizzata la sequenza amminoacidica di HrcA
ed è stata confermata sperimentalmente la predizione bioinformatica della
sua associazione con la membrana interna. La citotossicità e l’insolubilità di
HrcA in E. coli sono state alleviate inducendone l’espressione a 42°C. Saggi in
vitro con le proteine ricombinanti purificate, HspR e HrcA, hanno consentito
di definire i siti di legame dei due repressori sui promotori degli operoni heat
shock. Ulteriori saggi in vitro hanno suggerito che l’affinità di HrcA per gli
operatori è aumentata dalla chaperonina GroESL. Questi dati contribuiscono
parzialmente alla comprensione del meccanismo di repressione della
trascrizione espletato da HrcA e HspR e permettono di ipotizzare il
coinvolgimento di altri regolatori trascrizionali. L’analisi di RNA estratti dal
ceppo selvatico e dai mutanti hrcA, hspR e hrcA/hspR di H.pylori su DNAmacroarrays
non ha evidenziato il coinvolgimento di altri regolatori
trascrizionali, ma ha permesso l’identificazione di un gruppo di geni indotti da
HrcA e/ HspR. Questi geni sono coinvolti nella biosintesi e regolazione
dell’apparato flagellare, suggerendo un’interconnessione tra la risposta heat
shock e la motilità e chemiotassi del batterio.

description: We discuss new consistency relations for single field models of inflation capable of generating primordial black holes (PBH), and their observational implications for CMB $μ$-space distortions. These inflationary models include a short period of non-attractor evolution: the scale-dependent profile of curvature perturbation is characterized by a pronounced dip, followed by a rapid growth leading to a peak responsible for PBH formation. We investigate the squeezed and the collapsed limits of three and four point functions of curvature perturbation around the dip, showing that they satisfy consistency relations connecting their values to the total amplification of the curvature spectrum, and to the duration of the non-attractor era. Moreover, the corresponding non-Gaussian parameters are scale-dependent in proximity of the dip, with features that again depend on the amplification of the spectrum. For typical PBH scenarios requiring an order ${\cal O}(10^7)$ enhancement of the spectrum from large towards small scales, we generally find values $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm sq}\,=\,{\cal O}(10)$ and $τ_{\rm NL}^{\rm col}\,=\,{\cal O}(10^3)$ in a range of scales that can be probed by CMB $μ$-space distortions. Using these consistency relations, we carefully analyze how the scale-dependence of non-Gaussian parameters leads to characteristic features in $\langle μT \rangle$ and $\langle μμ\rangle$ correlators, providing distinctive probes of inflationary PBH scenarios that can be tested using well-understood CMB physics.

Gapless Dirac Spectrum at High Temperature

description: Using the overlap Dirac operator I show that, contrary to some expectations, even well above the critical temperature there is not necessarily a gap in the Dirac spectrum in pure SU(2) gauge theory. This happens when the Polyakov loop and the fermion boundary condition combine to give close to periodic boundary condition for the fermions in the time direction. In this Polyakov loop sector there is a non-vanishing density of Dirac eigenvalues around zero which implies that chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken. I demonstrate this both directly and also by finding good agreement with the random matrix theory prediction for the distribution of the lowest Dirac eigenvalue. I show that the chiral condensate increases with the temperature therefore it is very unlikely to be explained by topological fluctuations that become rapidly smaller above T_c. Finally I show that it is only a small fraction of the lowest Dirac eigenvalues that decide which Polyakov loop sector is favored by the fermion determinant if dynamical fermions are turned on. This provides a qualitative understanding of how the loss of confinement above T_c implies the restoration of chiral symmetry.

description: We introduce a new universality class of one-dimensional unimodal dissipative maps. The new family, from now on referred to as the ($z_1,z_2$)-{\it logarithmic map}, corresponds to a generalization of the $z$-logistic map. The Feigenbaum-like constants of these maps are determined. It has been recently shown that the probability density of sums of iterates at the edge of chaos of the $z$-logistic map is numerically consistent with a $q$-Gaussian, the distribution which, under appropriate constraints, optimizes the nonadditive entropy $S_q$. We focus here on the presently generalized maps to check whether they constitute a new universality class with regard to $q$-Gaussian attractor distributions. We also study the generalized $q$-entropy production per unit time on the new unimodal dissipative maps, both for strong and weak chaotic cases. The $q$-sensitivity indices are obtained as well. Our results are, like those for the $z$-logistic maps, numerically compatible with the $q$-generalization of a Pesin-like identity for ensemble averages.

description: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have outlined that every country in the world needs to create sustainable cities for communities by 2030. The first thing to consider is to identify sustainability indicators to be used as a guide in measuring the sustainability index. Therefore, this article aims to explore the formation of the heritage urban sustainability index construct in Malaysia using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The respondents consisted of 100 residents in the heritage city of Kajang, Malaysia, who were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Likert scale questionnaires 1 to 5 were used to elicit feedback. The results showed that the items in each study construct achieved acceptable reliability with Cronbach’s alpha values greater than 0.70 and met the normality test requirements. Data was processed using EFA for grouping items according to appropriate constructs. The results of the study from 154 items of the questionnaire have formed five main constructs of urban heritage sustainability in Malaysia, namely (1) economic prosperity, (2) social well-being, (3) environmental well-being, (4) cultural heritage, and (5) the role of government and community. The results of this study also meet the index value requirements set by Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity. Furthermore, the formation of the five constructs of this study directly demonstrates the relationship between items according to constructs. Indirectly, these findings help research on the sustainability of heritage cities in other areas as well.

description: Know thy star, know thy planet,... especially in the ultraviolet (UV). Over the past decade, that motto has grown from mere wish to necessity in the M dwarf regime, given that the intense and highly variable UV radiation from these stars is suspected of strongly impacting their planets' habitability and atmospheric loss. This has led to the development of the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS), a NASA-funded 6U CubeSat observatory fully devoted to the photometric monitoring of the UV flaring of M dwarfs hosting potentially habitable planets. The SPARCS science imaging system uses a 9-cm telescope that feeds two delta-doped UV-optimized CCDs through a dichroic beam splitter, enabling simultaneous monitoring of a target field in the near-UV and far-UV. A dedicated onboard payload processor manages science observations and performs near-real time image processing to sustain an autonomous dynamic exposure control algorithm needed to mitigate pixel saturation during flaring events. The mission is currently half-way into its development phase. We present an overview of the mission's science drivers and its expected contribution to our understanding of star-planet interactions. We also present the expected performance of the autonomous dynamic exposure control algorithm, a first-of-its-kind on board a space-based stellar astrophysics observatory.

description: Tourism is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the world. However, the development of tourism in various regions does not necessarily guarantee the welfare of the local community of tourist destinations. Then, the rapid development of tourism is also inseparable from the massive negative impacts. In constructing an ideal tourism development, the local government needs to pay attention to environmental and cultural preservation. Then, they also need to prioritize the interests of local communities in order to be able to become sustainable community-based tourism. This study intended to analyze the community participation in realizing sustainable community-based tourism in Karimunjawa. This study used primary and secondary data collected with snowball sampling selection techniques. The data collection methods used were in the form of participatory observation, interviews, and documentation. The data obtained were analyzed by using the interactive analysis method consisting of the process of data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results showed that the typology of community participation in realizing sustainable community-based tourism in Karimunjawa is in the Spontaneous-Induced Participation type. The participation of the Karimunjawa community is the result of the incision between Spontaneous Participation and Induced Participation. In some dimensions, the participation is active and bottom-up, while in some other dimensions, participation is still top-down and passive.

description: Given a group-invariant quasi-free state on the algebra of canonical commutation relations (CCR), we show how group averaging techniques can be used to obtain a symmetry reduced CCR algebra and reduced quasi-free state. When the group is compact this method of symmetry reduction leads to standard results which can be obtained using other methods. When the group is non-compact the group averaging prescription relies upon technically favorable conditions which we delineate. As an example, we consider symmetry reduction of the usual vacuum state for a Klein-Gordon field on Minkowski spacetime by a non-compact subgroup of the Poincaré group consisting of a 1-parameter family of boosts, a 1-parameter family of spatial translations and a set of discrete translations. We show that the symmetry reduced CCR algebra and vacuum state correspond to that used by each of Berger, Husain, and Pierri for the polarized Gowdy ${\bf T}^3$ quantum gravity model.

description: In Class. Quantum Grav. 26 (2009) 175006 (arXiv:0812.4333v3) Bizon et al discuss the power-law tail in the long-time evolution of a spherically symmetric self-gravitating massless scalar field in odd spatial dimensions. They derive explicit expressions for the leading order asymptotics for solutions with small initial data by using formal series expansions. Unfortunately, this approach misses an interesting observation that the actual decay rate is a product of asymptotic cancellations occurring due to a special structure of the nonlinear terms. Here, we show that one can calculate the leading asymptotics more directly by recognizing the special structure and cancellations already on the level of the wave equation.

description: A multiwavelength observing campaign of the T Tauri star (TTS) GM Aur was undertaken in 2019 December that obtained Swift X-ray and NUV fluxes, HST NUV spectra, LCOGT ugri and TESS photometry, CHIRON Halpha spectra, ALMA 13CO and C18O line fluxes, and VLA 3 cm continuum fluxes taken contemporaneously over one month. The X-ray to optical observations were presented previously. Here we present the ALMA and VLA data and make comparisons to GM Aur's accretion and X-ray properties. We report no variability in the observed millimeter CO emission. Using disk chemistry models, we show that the magnitude of the changes seen in the FUV luminosity of GM Aur could lead to variation of up to ~6% in CO line emission and changes in the X-ray luminosity could lead to larger changes of ~25%. However, the FUV and X-ray luminosity increases must last at least 100 years in order to induce changes, which seems implausible in the TTS stage; also, these changes would be too small to be detectable by ALMA. We report no variability in the 3 cm emission observed by the VLA, showing that changes of less than a factor of ~3 in the accretion rates of TTSs do not lead to detectable changes in the mass-loss rate traced by the jet at centimeter wavelengths. We conclude that typically seen changes in the FUV and X-ray luminosities of TTSs do not lead to observable changes in millimeter CO line emission or jet centimeter continuum emission.

description: This study assessed Nigeria’s non-permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council. The introduction showcased that the UNSC is the most powerful organ of the UN, saddled with the responsibility to promote and maintain international peace and security and membership into this body can be influenced by certain factors. To achieve the objectives, the study relied on research questions that answered the following; influential domestic factors that affected Nigeria during its candidacy into the UN Security Council, key international drivers that impacted Nigeria during its candidacy into the UN Security Council, the contributions Nigeria made during the terms it served as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council and how these events have jointly contributed to Nigeria’s national image. The study adopted Games theory as the theoretical framework. The study adopted a qualitative research design and relied on primary and secondary data, while data collected were thematically analyzed. The primary data gathered from interviews were thematically analyzed. Findings from the study indicate that in the international arena, domestic and international factors play key roles in a nation’s level of interaction. This is evident in the foreign policy structure of states. The study revealed that domestic factors of economy, natural resources, military capability and foreign policy, played key roles in Nigeria’s non-permanent membership of the UN Security Council. The study also revealed that international factors of Nigeria’s western allies, its regional hegemonic role and its participation in international peace keeping operations, impacted on its candidacy at the UN Security Council. The study revealed that Nigeria’s non-permanent membership of the UN Security Council was impactful, especially in the areas of international peacekeeping and stability operations. The study confirmed how these domestic and international factors have contributed to Nigeria’s national image. From the result of the study, the following recommendations have been put forward; that Nigeria needs to tackle its domestic challenges of insecurity, corruption, strengthening its military capability and enhancing the quality of its Foreign Service officers. These challenges, if properly tackled, will restore the image of the nation as well as record significant national developmental progress.

description: We show that the class of conditional distributions satisfying the coarsening at Random (CAR) property for discrete data has a simple and robust algorithmic description based on randomized uniform multicovers: combinatorial objects generalizing the notion of partition of a set. However, the complexity of a given CAR mechanism can be large: the maximal "height" of the needed multicovers can be exponential in the number of points in the sample space. The results stem from a geometric interpretation of the set of CAR distributions as a convex polytope and a characterization of its extreme points. The hierarchy of CAR models defined in this way could be useful in parsimonious statistical modelling of CAR mechanisms, though the results also raise doubts in applied work as to the meaningfulness of the CAR assumption in its full generality.

description: A new method for accurate indirect heat accounting in apartment buildings has been recently developed by the Centre Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM). It is based on a data driven approach aimed to the smart networking of any type of indirect heat allocation devices, which can provide, for each heat delivery point of an apartment building, measurements or estimations of the temperature difference between the heat transfer fluid and the indoor environment. The analysis of the data gathered from the devices installed on the heating bodies, together with the measurements of the overall building heat consumption provided by direct heat metering, allows the evaluation of the characteristic thermal model parameters of heating bodies at actual installation and working conditions. Thus overcoming the negative impact on accuracy of conventional indirect heat accounting due to off-design operation, in which these measurement systems normally operate. The method has been tested on conventional heat cost allocators (HCA), and on innovative smart radiator thermostatic valves developed by CSEM. The evaluations were carried out at the centralized heating system mock-up of the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM), and also in a real building in Neuchatel, Switzerland. The method has proven to be an effective tool to improve the accuracy of indirect heat metering systems; compared to conventional HCA systems, the error on the individual heating bill is reduced by 20% to 50%.

description: The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) and its local non-government organizations (NGO) partners, with support from CGIAR-CCAFS and the International Development Research Center-Canada (IDRC), established four climate smart villages (CSVs) representing four major ago-ecological context of Myanmar agriculture. Since 2017, IIRR and its partners have been working on developing tools and processes are aimed at scaling out the CSV approach within the programs of government, donors, and NGOs in Myanmar. They also worked on establishing evidences on the potential of CSVs in addressing the development challenges of Myanmar’s rural communities — climate variability, food insecurity and poverty. Since the program started, at least 600 smallholder farming households benefitted from CSVs. They received resources to implement and test the various adaptation options identified and their learnings were also enhanced through trainings, workshops, and opportunities to engage with other farmers and organizations. These compilation of stories from Myanmar’s CSVs provides a glimpse into how individual households are affected in these villages. These stories are not exhaustive and are coming only from the CSVs in Chin state and in the Ayeyarwaddy region. IIRR will continue to document, whenever possible, future stories of change from the four CSVs.
Cosmological implications of EW vacuum instability: constraints on the Higgs-curvature coupling from inflation

description: The current experimentally measured parameters of the Standard Model (SM) suggest that our Universe lies in a metastable electroweak vacuum, where the Higgs field is prone to vacuum decay to a lower state with catastrophic consequences. Our measurements dictate that such an event has not taken place yet, despite the many different mechanisms that could have triggered it in our past light-cone. The focus of our work has been to calculate the probability of the false vacuum to decay during the period of inflation and use it to constrain the last unknown renormalisable SM parameter $ξ$, which couples the Higgs field with space-time curvature. More specifically, we derived lower $ξ$-bounds from vacuum stability in three inflationary models: quadratic and quartic chaotic inflation, and Starobinsky-like power-law inflation. We also took the time-dependence of the Hubble rate into account both in the geometry of our past light-cone and in the Higgs effective potential, which is approximated with three-loop renormalisation group improvement supplemented with one-loop curvature corrections.

Dynamic theory of interest : a differential analysis

description: This work in "pure" economic theory is limited to an attempt to account for the existence of the net exchange value productivity of capital in industry, and for the market rate of interest for the use of loanable funds. It does not offer any theory of personal consumption nor set forth any social or political philosophy deduced from the dynamic theory of interest; and, except for a few incidental remarks, it offers no criticisms of other theories of interest. Its purpose is constructive. In a sense neither new principles have been discovered nor new methods employed. While it is claimed that certain new laws are developed, these are based on other laws which have been worked out by classical and neo-classical economists. The method employed is largely deductive, but no assumptions are made of any society other than the dynamic one which is thought actually to exist. Historical and statistical data are now available in such quantities that static assumptions are no longer as necessary to the economic theorist as once they were. Capital is defined from the point of view of exchange value income. Thus any property or wealth devoted to the acquisition of income through exchange is capital. From this point of view both land and industrial equipment are capital, and so are intangibles if they aid in securing income through exchange and themselves can be sold apart from their owners. Of course, this approach is not new. Similar, if not identical, approaches are well known to all economists who are acquainted with the works of Hermann, J. B. Clark, Cannan, Hobson, Webb, and Commons. In the last edition of their Outlines (pp. 94-108), 1930, which appeared after most of the present theory was elaborated, Ely, Adams, Lorenz, and Young employ a definition of capital essentially the same as that used in the development of this theory. Neither the present writer nor any of those mentioned above denies that each special category of capital has its peculiar qualities which are important. And if the present theory of interest were developed in great detail, it would necessarily contain some principles applicable to certain categories of capital but not to all. It is because the resemblances between special categories are more important than the differences that the present writer undertakes to explain the fundamental nature and causes of their net incomes by the same general principles

Generalized Observables, Bell's Inequalities and Mixtures in the ESR Model for QM

description: The extended semantic realism (ESR) model proposes a new theoretical perspective which embodies the mathematical formalism of standard (Hilbert space) quantum mechanics (QM) into a noncontextual framework, reinterpreting quantum probabilities as conditional instead of absolute. We provide in this review an overall view on the present status of our research on this topic. We attain in a new, shortened way a mathematical representation of the generalized observables introduced by the ESR model and a generalization of the projection postulate of elementary QM. Basing on these results we prove that the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (BCHSH) inequality, a modified BCHSH inequality and quantum predictions hold together in the ESR model because they refer to different parts of the picture of the physical world supplied by the model. Then we show that a new mathematical representation of mixtures must be introduced in the ESR model which does not coincide with the standard representation in QM and avoids some deep problems that arise from the representation of mixtures provided by QM. Finally we get a nontrivial generalization of the Luders postulate, which is justified in a special case by introducing a reasonable physical assumption on the evolution of the compound system made up of the measured system and the measuring apparatus.

Energy resolution and discretization artefacts in the numerical renormalization group

description: We study the limits of the energy resolution that can be achieved in the calculations of spectral functions of quantum impurity models using the numerical renormalization group (NRG) technique with interleaving (z-averaging). We show that overbroadening errors can be largely eliminated, that higher-moment spectral sum rules are satisfied to a good accuracy, and that positions, heights and widths of spectral features are well reproduced; the NRG approximates very well the spectral-weight distribution. We find, however, that the discretization of the conduction-band continuum nevertheless introduces artefacts. We present a new discretization scheme which removes the band-edge discretization artefacts of the conventional approach and significantly improves the convergence to the continuum (Lambda -> 1) limit. Sample calculations of spectral functions with high energy resolution are presented. We follow in detail the emergence of the Kondo resonance in the Anderson impurity model as the electron-electron repulsion is increased, and the emergence of the phononic side peaks and the transition from the spin Kondo effect to the charge Kondo effect in the Anderson-Holstein impurity model as the electron-phonon coupling is increased. We also compute the spectral function of the Hubbard model within the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), confirming the presence of fine structure in the Hubbard bands.
