description: Physics beyond the Fermi scale could show up through deviations of the gauge couplings predicted by the electroweak Yang-Mills sector. This possibility is explored in the context of the International Linear Collider (ILC) through the helicity amplitudes for the gamma e -> W nu_e reaction to which contributes the trilinear WWgamma coupling. The new physics effects on this vertex are parametrized in a model-independent fashion through an effective electroweak Yang-Mills sector, which is constructed by considering two essentially different sources of new physics. In one scenario, Lorentz violation will be considered exclusively as the source of new physics effects. This type of new physics is considered in an extension of the Standard Model that is known as the Standard Model Extension (SME), which is an effective field theory that contemplates CPT and Lorentz violation in a model-independent fashion. Any source of new physics that respects the Lorentz symmetry, will be considered within the general context of the well known Conventional Effective Standard Model (CESM) extension. Both the SME and the CESM descriptions include gauge invariant operators of dimension higher than four, which, in general, transform as Lorentz tensors of rank higher than zero. Whereas in the former theory observer Lorentz invariants are constructed by contracting these operators with constant Lorentz tensors, in the latter the corresponding Lorentz invariant interactions are obtained contracting such operators with products of the metric tensor. We focus our study on the possibility of experimentally distinguish both types of new physics effects on the WWgamma vertex. It is found that for a new physics scale of the same order of magnitude and under determined circumstances, both types of new physics effects will be clearly distinguished.

description: The internal reaction-induced fluctuations which occur in catalytic CO oxidation on a Pt field emitter tip have been studied using field electron microscopy (FEM) as a spatially resolving method. The structurally heterogeneous Pt tip consists of facets of different orientations with nanoscale dimensions. The FEM resolution of roughly 2 nm corresponds to a few hundred reacting adsorbed particles whose variations in the density are imaged as brightness fluctuations. In the bistable range of the reaction one finds fluctuation-induced transitions between the two stable branches of the reaction kinetics. The fluctuations exhibit a behaviour similar to that of an equilibrium phase transition, i.e. the amplitude diverges upon approaching the bifurcation point terminating the bistable range of the reaction. Simulations with a hybrid Monte Carlo/mean-field model reproduce the experimental observations. Fluctuations on different facets are typically uncorrelated but within a single facet a high degree of spatial coherence is found.

description: The 6.7 GHz methanol maser emission, a tracer of forming massive stars, sometimes shows enigmatic periodic flux variations over several 10-100 days. In this Letter, we propose that this periodic variations could be explained by the pulsation of massive protostars growing under rapid mass accretion with rates of Mdot > 10^-3 Msun/yr. Our stellar evolution calculations predict that the massive protostars have very large radius exceeding 100 Rsun at maximum, and we here study the pulsational stability of such the bloated protostars by way of the linear stability analysis. We show that the protostar becomes pulsationally unstable with various periods of several 10-100 days, depending on different accretion rates. With the fact that the stellar luminosity when the star is pulsationally unstable also depends on the accretion rate, we derive the period-luminosity relation log (L/Lsun) = 4.62 + 0.98log(P/100 day), which is testable with future observations. Our models further show that the radius and mass of the pulsating massive protostar should also depend on the period. It would be possible to infer such protostellar properties and the accretion rate with the observed period. Measuring the maser periods enables a direct diagnosis of the structure of accreting massive protostars, which are deeply embedded in dense gas and inaccessible with other observations.

description: Four novel bisquaternary aldoxime cholinesterase reactivators differing in their chemical structure were prepared. Afterwards, their biological activity was evaluated for their ability to reactivate acetylcholinesterase (AchE; EC 3.1.1.7) and butyryl-cholinesterase (BuChE; EC 3.1.1.8) inhibited by paraoxon. Their reactivation activity was compared with standard reactivators - pralidoxime, obidoxime and HI-6 - which are clinically used at present. As it resulted, none of the prepared compounds surpassed obidoxime, which is considered to be the most potent compound if used for reactivation of AChE inhibited by paraoxon. In case of BuChE reactivation, two compounds (K053 and K068) achieved similar results as obidoxime.

description: The maximum magnetic field strength generated by Weibel-type plasma instabilities is estimated for typical conditions in the interstellar medium. The relevant kinetic dispersion relations are evaluated by conducting a parameter study both for Maxwellian and for suprathermal particle distributions showing that micro Gauss magnetic fields can be generated. It is shown that, depending on the streaming velocity and the plasma temperatures, either the longitudinal or a transverse instability will be dominant. In the presence of an ambient magnetic field, the filamentation instability is typically suppressed while the two-stream and the classic Weibel instability are retained.

description: For a sustainable economic performance of apple production, the determination of efficient farming options considering production risk is crucial. Relying on a permanent crop, apple producers are less flexible to react upon disturbances. Based on data of 134 apple producers operating in the two main production areas in Germany, we compare and determine efficient production options. Furthermore, appropriate risk management instruments (RMIs) are identified using stochastic dominance criteria. In addition, we use Stochastic Efficiency with Respect to a Function to evaluate farming options for defined ranges of relative risk aversion. The results indicate that Red Prince is the most efficient variety in the north and subsidized hail insurance with frost irrigation is superior to frost irrigation as single RMI. In the south Braeburn should be chosen by rational decision makers, but the tested insurance solutions are not as efficient as the common practice of producing apple under hail nets. © 2017 Röhrig et al.

description: We consider a type of intermittent behavior that occurs as the result of the interplay between dynamical mechanisms giving rise to type-II intermittency and random dynamics. We analytically deduce the law for the distribution of the laminar phases, which has never been obtained hitherto. The already known dependence of the mean length of the laminar phases on the criticality parameter [PRE 68 (2003) 036203] follows as a corollary of the carried out research. We also prove that this dependence obtained earlier under the assumption of the fixed form of the reinjection probability does not depend on the relaminarization properties, and, correspondingly, the obtained expression of the mean length of the laminar phases on the criticality parameter remains correct for different types of the reinjection probability.

description: Let a pure state ψbe chosen randomly in an NM-dimensional Hilbert space, and consider the reduced density matrix ρof an N-dimensional subsystem. The bipartite entanglement properties of ψare encoded in the spectrum of ρ. By means of a saddle point method and using a "Coulomb gas" model for the eigenvalues, we obtain the typical spectrum of reduced density matrices. We consider the cases of an unbiased ensemble of pure states and of a fixed value of the purity. We finally obtain the eigenvalue distribution by using a statistical mechanics approach based on the introduction of a partition function.

description: The functioning of machines typically requires a concerted action of their parts. This requirement also holds for molecular motors that drive vital cellular processes and imposes constraints on their conformational changes as well as the rates at which they occur. It remains unclear whether, during evolution, features required for functional molecular machines can emerge simultaneously or require sequential adaptation to different selection pressures. We address this question by theoretically analyzing the evolution of filament treadmilling. This process refers to the self-assembly of linear polymers that grow and shrink at equal rates at their opposite ends. It constitutes a simple biological molecular machine that is involved in bacterial cell division and requires that several conditions are met. In our simulation framework, treadmilling emerges as a consequence of selecting for a target average polymer length. We discuss why other forms of assembly dynamics, which also reach the imposed target length, do not emerge in our simulations. Our work shows that complex molecular functions can evolve de novo under selection for a single physical feature.

description: Power consumption imposes a significant cost for data centers. Thus, it is not surprising that optimizing energy cost in data center is receiving increasing attention. In this thesis, we focus on the algorithmic issues at three levels of energy optimization for data centers: server level, local data center level and global data center level. At the server level, we analyze the common speed scaling algorithms in both worst-case model and stochastic model  to answer some fundamental issues in the design of speed scaling algorithms. At the local data center level, we develop an online algorithm to make data center more power-proportional by dynamically adapting the number of active servers to match the current workload. At the global data center level, we propose a framework to explore the diversity of power prices and the diversity of propagation delays given geographically distributed data centers.
Hα to FUV ratios in resolved star forming region populations of nearby spiral galaxies

description: We present a new study of Hα/FUV flux ratios of star forming regions within a sample of nearby spiral galaxies. We search for evidence of the existence of a cluster mass dependent truncation in the underlying stellar initial mass function (IMF). We use an automated approach to identification of extended objects based on the SExtractor algorithm to catalogue resolved Hii regions within a set of nearby spiral galaxies. Corrections due to dust attenuation effects are applied to avoid artificially boosted Hα/FUV values. We use the BPASS stellar population synthesis code of Eldridge & Stanway (2009) to create a benchmark population of star forming regions to act as a reference for our observations. Based on those models, we identify a zone of parameter space populated by regions that cannot be obtained with a cluster mass dependent truncation in the stellar IMF imposed. We find that the investigated galaxies display small subpopulations of star forming regions falling within our zone of interest, which appears to be inconsistent with imposing an IMF truncation at maximum stellar mass dependent on the total cluster mass. The presence of those regions is expected in models using both stochastic and sorted sampling of the full extent of the stellar IMF. This result persists after taking dust attenuation effects into account. We highlight the significance of stochastic effects in environments with low star formation activity and in studies describing systems associated with small physical scales.

description: Plants and animals have evolved various potential mechanisms to surmount the adverse effects of heavy metal toxicity. Plants possess low molecular weight compounds containing sulfhydryl groups (-SH) that actively react with toxic metals. For instance, glutathione (γ-Glu-Cys-Gly) is a sulfur-containing tripeptide thiol and a substrate of cysteine-rich phytochelatins (γ-Glu-Cys)2-11-Gly (PCs). Phytochelatins react with heavy metal ions by glutathione S-transferase in the cytosol and afterwards they are sequestered into the vacuole for degradation. Furthermore, heavy metals induce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which directly or indirectly influence metabolic processes. Reduced glutathione (GSH) attributes as an antioxidant and participates to control ROS during stress. Maintenance of the GSH/GSSG ratio is important for cellular redox balance, which is crucial for the survival of the plants. In this context, sulfurtransferases (Str), also called rhodaneses, comprise a group of enzymes widely distributed in all phyla, paving the way for the transfer of a sulfur atom from suitable sulfur donors to nucleophilic sulfur acceptors, at least in vitro. The best characterized in vitro reaction is the transfer of a sulfane sulfur atom from thiosulfate to cyanide, leading to the formation of sulfite and thiocyanate. Plants as well as other organisms have multi-protein families (MPF) of Str. Despite the presence of Str activities in many living organisms, their physiological role has not been clarified unambiguously. In mammals, these proteins are involved in the elimination of cyanide released from cyanogenic compounds. However, their ubiquity suggests additional physiological functions. Furthermore, it is speculated that a member of the Str family acts as arsenate reductase (AR) and is involved in arsenate detoxification. In summary, the role of Str in detoxification processes is still not well understood but seems to be a major function in the organism.

description: The Planck and WMAP9 satellites, as well as the ATACAMA and South Pole telescopes, have recently presented results on the angular power spectrum of the comic microwave background. Data tentatively point to the existence of an extra radiation component in the early universe. Here, we show that this extra component can be mimicked by ordinary WIMP dark matter particles whose majority is cold, but with a small fraction being non-thermally produced in a relativistic state. We present a few example theories where this scenario is explicitly realized, and explore the relevant parameter space consistent with BBN, CMB and Structure Formation bounds.

description: The application of DNA microarrays for high throughput analysis of genetic regulation is often limited by the fluorophores used as markers. The implementation of multi-scan techniques is limited by the fluorophores’ susceptibility to photobleaching when exposed to the scanner laser light. This paper presents combined mechanical and chemical strategies which enhance the photostability of cyanine 3 and cyanine 5 as part of solid state DNA microarrays. These strategies are based on scanning the microarrays while the hybridized DNA is still in an aqueous solution with the presence of a reductive/oxidative system (ROXS). Furthermore, the experimental setup allows for the analysis and eventual normalization of Förster-resonance-energy-transfer (FRET) interaction of cyanine-3/cyanine-5 dye combinations on the microarray. These findings constitute a step towards standardization of microarray experiments and analysis and may help to increase the comparability of microarray experiment results between labs.

description: The German Nutrition Society raised in 2012 the recommended daily vitamin D intake from 200 to 800 international units (IU) to achieve 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) levels of at least 50 nmol/L, even when endogenous vitamin D synthesis is minimal such as in winter. We aimed to evaluate this recommendation in women of childbearing age. This is a single-center, randomized, open trial conducted from 8 January to 9 May 2016 in Esslingen, Germany. We randomized 201 apparently healthy women to receive for 8 weeks a daily multimicronutrient supplement containing either 200 IU (n = 100) or 800 IU vitamin D3 (n = 101). Primary outcome measure was serum 25 (OH) D. 196 participants completed the trial. Increases in 25 (OH) D (median with interquartile range) from baseline to study end were 13.2 (5.9 to 20.7) nmol/L in the 200 IU group, and 35.8 (18.2 to 52.8) nmol/L in the 800 IU group (p < 0.001 for the between group difference). At study end, levels of ≥50 nmol/L were present in 70.4% of the 200 IU group and in 99% of the 800 IU group. Participants on hormonal contraceptives had higher baseline levels and a stronger increase in 25 (OH) D. In conclusion, daily supplementation of 800 IU vitamin D3 during wintertime in Germany is sufficient to achieve a 25 (OH) D level of at least 50 nmol/L in almost all women of childbearing age, whereas 200 IU are insufficient.

description: Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of non-skin cancer in men (after prostate and Lung cancer) and women (after breast and Lung cancer). The mitochondrion conventionally is often thought to be an organelle specific to energy metabolism. It is in fact multifunctional and has been implicated in many diseases, including cancer. Alterations in the non-coding displacement loop of mitochondrial DNA are present in many types of cancer. In another word this loop has been shown to be a mutation "hot spot" in human cancers. Material and methods: To assess the relationship between mitochondrial DNA haplogroups and colorectal cancer, we sequenced the mitochondrial DNA hypervariable segment I in a study population that comprised 95 cases (55 male, 40 female) and 100 unrelated healthy individuals as a control groups. Haplotypes were assigned according to the West Eurasian mtDNA genealogy. Results: We found that haplogroup K is more frequent in colorectal patients than healthy individuals. That means haplogroup K is significantly more abundant in colorectal cancer patients (P=0.001). Conclusions: In this study we found a significant association of haplogroup K with colorectal cancer in Iranian patients so our finding suggests that mitochondrial genetic background plays a role in modifying an individual's risk for colorectal cancer.

description: Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the mutation patterns of colon cancers through screening of different regions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in colon cancer patients. Material and methods: In order to investigate whether deletions exist in the mitochondrial DNA of colon cancer patients, we used a PCR assay to assess the presence of large-scale deletions. We screened four regions of the mitochondrial genome by PCR amplification and Southern blot analysis followed by DNA sequencing. Previously, deficiency in mitochondrial complex I has been reported; therefore we focused on the region of mtDNA that encodes the genes of this complex. Results: In 11 out of 90 patients, we found an 8.7 kb deletion. Large-scale deletions of mtDNA are common events that have been found to occur in human ageing and in patients with mitochondrial myopathies. Based on our results the mtDNA 8.7 kb deletion occurs in 12.2% of the colorectal cancer (CRC) samples. Conclusions: As reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously generated by the respiratory chain, they may cause significant oxidative damage to mtDNA (for example mtDNA deletions or mutations) if not efficiently eliminated. Defective respiratory enzymes containing protein subunits encoded by the deleted mtDNA may further enhance free radical production, resulting in more profound oxidative damage in CRC patients.

description: There is a new merging of health economics and nutrition disciplines to assess the impact of diet on health and disease prevention and to characterise the health and economic aspects of specific changes in nutritional behaviour and nutrition recommendations. A rationale exists for developing the field of nutrition economics which could offer a better understanding of both nutrition, in the context of having a significant influence on health outcomes, and economics, in order to estimate the absolute and relative monetary impact of health measures. For this purpose, an expert meeting assessed questions aimed at clarifying the scope and identifying the key issues that should be taken into consideration in developing nutrition economics as a discipline that could potentially address important questions. We propose a first multidisciplinary outline for understanding the principles and particular characteristics of this emerging field. We summarise here the concepts and the observations of workshop participants and propose a basic setting for nutrition economics and health outcomes research as a novel discipline to support nutrition, health economics and health policy development in an evidence and health-benefit-based manner. © 2010 The Authors.

Weak magnetic order in high-Tc superconductors produced by spontaneous Josephson currents

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We develop a model for high-Tc superconductors based on an electronic phase separation where low-and high-density domains are formed. At low temperatures this system may act as a granular superconductor forming an array of Josephson junctions. Cuprates are also known to have low superfluid densities and strong correlation effects. Both characteristics activate a negative Josephson coupling due to frustration that leads to spontaneous currents responsible for the weak ferromagnetic order. This original approach reproduces the observed onset of spontaneous magnetic signal and its dependence on the doping level.

Le printemps des arabes oder Der arabische Frühling aus der Sicht französischer Comicmacher
Creators: name: Hertrampf, Marina Ortrud M.
Publisher: name: HeLix - Dossiers zur romanischen Literaturwissenschaft
Year: 2016

description: The aim of the present essay is to examine Jean-Pierre Filiu’s und Cyrille Pomès’ Le printemps des arabes as an example of the trendy comic genre known as documentary graphic novel and to discuss how the Arab Spring is represented. My analysis shows that the authors succeed in presenting a differentiated picture of the events that underlines the diversity and complexity of the protests and riots in the individual countries of the MENA region. The authors are particularly concerned to recognize the merits of all those citizens who engaged in struggling against oppression and injustice. Apart from this homage to the (mostly nameless) heroes for freedom, the docufictional work aims to break the widely held stereotypes about the Arab world. The authors want to inform and instruct the reader but they do so without any schoolmasterly didacticism. By choosing a polylogical and polyphonic narrating technique, they allow the recipient to get a feel for the powerful and sometimes rather chaotic dynamics of the revolutionary mass movements. Despite an often decidedly ironic tone, Le printemps des arabes is free from categorical damnation and stimulates the reader to make his own opinion.

Proof of a conjecture of Thomassen on Hamilton cycles in highly connected tournaments

description: A conjecture of Thomassen from 1982 states that for every k there is an f(k) so that every strongly f(k)-connected tournament contains k edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles. A classical theorem of Camion, that every strongly connected tournament contains a Hamilton cycle, implies that f(1)=1. So far, even the existence of f(2) was open. In this paper, we prove Thomassen's conjecture by showing that f(k)=O(k^2*log^2(k)). This is best possible up to the logarithmic factor. As a tool, we show that every strongly 10^4*k*log(k)-connected tournament is k-linked (which improves a previous exponential bound). The proof of the latter is based on a fundamental result of Ajtai, Komlós and Szemerédi on asymptotically optimal sorting networks.

Le Degré zéro de l’émotion dans Par le feu de Tahar Ben Jelloun
Creators: name: El Qasri, Jamal
Publisher: name: HeLix - Dossiers zur romanischen Literaturwissenschaft
Year: 2016

description: In this article that recalls Roland Barthes’s classical work Le Degré zéro de l’écriture, I focus on the writing of Tahar Ben Jelloun’s short story Par le feu. One might consider his writing as “white”, since it seems disembodied, disenchanted, and little descriptive, where the feeling is dismissed in favour of an almost flat approach to the real. This may challenge readers not only on the various levels of the short story (narration, construction of the characters, and setting) but also on the level of the Jellounean “phrasing”, which apparently (and unlike what is found in other Ben Jelloun’s short stories, such as Cette aveuglante absence de lumière 2001) demonstrates a refusal of the literary style. I will answer the question if this is the result of Ben Jelloun’s wry look or merely an effect of a lack of inspiration.

description: This paper describes a methodological approach for a sustainability assessment of development cooperation projects. Between the scientific disciplines there is no agreement on the term of "sustainability". Whereas the definition of sustainability within the context of development cooperation frequently highlights the long-term success of an intervention, the United Nations herald the inclusion of social, economic and environmental aspects. This paper proposes to bridge this gap by providing an analytical framework that uses nine impact category groups based on thematic priorities of sustainable development derived from the Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, the long-term effectiveness of a project is taken into consideration. These impact category groups comprise the analytical framework, which is investigated by the Life Cycle Assessment and an indicator-based analysis. These data are obtained through empirical social research and the LCA inventory. The underlying concept is based on life cycle thinking. Taking up a multi-cycle model this study establishes two life cycles: first, the project management life cycle; and, second, the life cycle of a project's innovation. The innovation's life cycle is identified to have the greatest impact on the target region and the local people and is consequently of primary interest. This methodological approach enables an ex-post sustainability assessment of a built innovation of a development cooperation project and is tested on a case study on Improved Cooking Stoves in Bangladesh. © 2016 by the authors.
