description: Es seien k/Q ein Zahlkörper, p eine feste endliche Primstelle von k und A der Ring der Adele von k. Es seien ferner (rho,sigma) ein paar von kuspidalen automorphen Darstellungen von GL(A,n+1) x GL(A,n), beide unverzweigt bei p, und chi ein Quasicharakter von k*\A*, dessen Führer eine p-Potenz ist. Die automorphe L-Funktion L(s,rho,sigma,\chi) von (rho,sigma) unter Twists von chi hat ihren speziellen Wert bei s = 1/2. Wir werden die p-adische Interpolation dieses speziellen Wertes s = 1/2 von L(s,rho,sigma,\chi) untersuchen. Wir werden eine Vermutung über den Wert der p-adischen L-Funktion für allgemeines n unter der Annahme aufstellen, dass chi bei p trivial ist. Diese Vermutung beweisen wir in den Fällen n=1,2.
description: Let k/Q be a number field, p a fixed finite prime place of k and A the ring of adèles of k. Let further (rho,sigma) be a pair of cuspidal automorphic representation of GL(A,n+1) x GL(A,n) unramified at p and let chi be a quasicharacter of k*\A* whose conductor is a power of p. The automorphic L-function L(s,rho,sigma,\chi) attached to (rho,sigma) under the twist of chi has its special value at s = 1/2. We will study the p-adic interpolation of this special value of L(s,rho,sigma,\chi). We state a conjecture for the value of the p-adic L-function at chi for general n under the assumption that chi is trivial at p. We will prove the conjecture in the cases n=1,2.

description: We present a new five-parameter class of Ricci-flat solutions in four dimensions with Euclidean signature. The solution is asymptotically locally flat (ALF), and contains a finite asymptotic NUT charge. When this charge is sent to infinity, the solution becomes asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE), and one in fact obtains the Ricci-flat Plebanski-Demianski solution. The solution we have found can thus be regarded as an ALF generalisation of the latter solution. We also show that it can be interpreted as a system consisting of two touching Kerr-NUTs: the south pole of one Kerr-NUT touches the north pole of the other. The total NUT charge of such a system is then identified with the asymptotic NUT charge. Setting the asymptotic NUT charge to zero gives a four-parameter asymptotically flat (AF) solution, and contained within this subclass is the completely regular two-parameter AF instanton previously discovered by the present authors. Various other limits are also discussed, including that of the triple-collinearly-centered Gibbons-Hawking solution, and an ALF generalisation of the C-metric.

description: Macrosclereid cells, which are a layer in the seed coat of Medicago truncatula, accumulate large amounts of phytochemicals during their development. But little is known about the complex and dynamic changes during macrosclereid cell development. To characterize the phytochemicals and the related gene expression during the development of M. truncatula macrosclereid cells, a high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) assay and microarray study were conducted on transcriptome changes from macrosclereid cell during seed development. A total of 16 flavonoids by HPLC-MS and 4861 genes exhibited significant differences at transcript levels by microarray analysis were identified for macrosclerid cells at six different time points during seed development. 815 abiotic and biotic stress genes, 223 transcriptional factors (TFs), and 155 annotated transporter proteins exhibited differential expression during the development of macrosclereid cells. A total of 102 genes were identified as involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, phenypropanoid biosynthesis, and flavone and flavonol biosynthesis. We performed a weighted gene co-regulatory network (WGCNA) to analyze the gene-flavonoid association and rebuilt the gene regulatory network during macrosclereid cell development. Our studies revealed that macrosclereid cells are, beside as the first barrier of defense against diseases, an excellent model system to investigate the regulatory network that governs flavonoid biosynthesis.

description: Our recently developed variant of variationnally optimized perturbation (OPT), in particular consistently incorporating renormalization group properties (RGOPT), is adapted to the calculation of the QCD spectral density of the Dirac operator and the related chiral quark condensate $\langle \bar q q \rangle$ in the chiral limit, for $n_f=2$ and $n_f=3$ massless quarks. The results of successive sequences of approximations at two-, three-, and four-loop orders of this modified perturbation, exhibit a remarkable stability. We obtain $\langle \bar q q\rangle^{1/3}_{n_f=2}(2\, {\rm GeV}) = -(0.833-0.845) \barΛ_2 $, and $ \langle\bar q q\rangle^{1/3}_{n_f=3}(2\, {\rm GeV}) = -(0.814-0.838) \barΛ_3 $ where the range spanned by the first and second numbers (respectively four- and three-loop order results) defines our theoretical error, and $\barΛ_{n_f}$ is the basic QCD scale in the $\overline{MS}$-scheme. We obtain a moderate suppression of the chiral condensate when going from $n_f=2$ to $n_f=3$. We compare these results with some other recent determinations from other nonperturbative methods (mainly lattice and spectral sum rules).

Main axes branching irregularly; branches with the appearance of ribbon strips, with margins completely covered by proliferations of sizes and variable diameters, arranged alternately opposite (Fig. 59). Multiaxial organization with a filamentous medulla and a pseudoparenchymatous cortex (Fig. 60). Medulla composed of several filaments loosely arranged in mucilaginous gel, 6–12 μm in diameter. Cortex composed of two layers of rounded cells, 10–18 μm in diameter. Tetrasporangia spherical, 15–20 μm in diameter, cruciately divided, scattered among the cortical cells (Fig. 61).
 Taxonomic comment: According to Schneider et al. (2010), from molecular data, Halymenia pseudofloresii is the only species distributed in the American Atlantic coasts. Its sister species, H. floresii, which has been previously recorded for Yucatan Peninsula (Godínez-Ortega et al. 2008), appears to be restricted to Europe (Schneider et al. 2010, Wynne 2017).

description: Endogenous formaldehyde is abundantly present in our bodies, at around 100 µM under normal conditions. While such high steady state levels of formaldehyde may be derived by enzymatic reactions including oxidative demethylation/deamination and myeloperoxidation, it is unclear whether endogenous formaldehyde can initiate and/or promote diseases in humans. Here, we show that fluorescent malondialdehyde-formaldehyde (M2FA)-lysine adducts are immunogenic without adjuvants in mice. Natural antibody titers against M2FA are elevated in atherosclerosis-prone mice. Staining with an antibody against M2FA demonstrated that M2FA is present in plaque found on the aortic valve of ApoE mice. To mimic inflammation during atherogenesis, human myeloperoxidase was incubated with glycine, H O , malondialdehyde, and a lysine analog in PBS at a physiological temperature, which resulted in M2FA generation. These results strongly suggest that the 1,4-dihydropyridine-type of lysine adducts observed in atherosclerosis lesions are likely produced by endogenous formaldehyde and malondialdehyde with lysine. These highly fluorescent M2FA adducts may play important roles in human inflammatory and degenerative diseases.

description: The social applications of robots possess intrinsic challenges with respect to social paradigms and heterogeneity of different groups. These challenges can be in the form of social acceptability, anthropomorphism, likeability, past experiences with robots etc. In this paper, we have considered a group of neurotypical adults to describe how different voices and motion types of the NAO robot can have effect on the perceived safety, anthropomorphism, likeability, animacy, and perceived intelligence of the robot. In addition, prior robot experience has also been taken into consideration to perform this analysis using a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Further, we also demonstrate that these different modalities instigate different physiological responses in the person. This classification has been done using two different deep learning approaches, 1) Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and 2) Gramian Angular Fields on the Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) data recorded. Both of these approaches achieve better than chance accuracy 25% for a 4 class classification.

description: We describe what it means for an algebra to be internally d-Calabi-Yau with respect to an idempotent. This definition abstracts properties of endomorphism algebras of (d-1)-cluster-tilting objects in certain stably (d-1)-Calabi-Yau Frobenius categories, as observed by Keller-Reiten. We show that an internally d-Calabi-Yau algebra satisfying mild additional assumptions can be realised as the endomorphism algebra of a (d-1)-cluster-tilting object in a Frobenius category. Moreover, if the algebra satisfies a stronger 'bimodule' internally d-Calabi-Yau condition, this Frobenius category is stably (d-1)-Calabi-Yau. We pay special attention to frozen Jacobian algebras; in particular, we define a candidate bimodule resolution for such an algebra, and show that if this complex is indeed a resolution, then the frozen Jacobian algebra is bimodule internally 3-Calabi-Yau with respect to its frozen idempotent. These results suggest a new method for constructing Frobenius categories modelling cluster algebras with frozen variables, by first constructing a suitable candidate for the endomorphism algebra of a cluster-tilting object in such a category, analogous to Amiot's construction in the coefficient-free case.

description: Complex doping schemes in RE$_3$Al$_5$O$_{12}$ (RE=rare earth element) garnet compounds have recently led to pronounced improvements in scintillator performance. Specifically, by admixing lutetium and yttrium aluminate garnets with gallium and gadolinium, the band-gap was altered in a manner that facilitated the removal of deleterious electron trapping associated with cation antisite defects. Here, we expand upon this initial work to systematically investigate the effect of substitutional admixing on the energy levels of band edges. Density functional theory was used to survey potential admixing candidates that modify either the conduction band minimum (CBM) or valence band maximum (VBM). We considered two sets of compositions based on Lu$_3$B$_5$O$_{12}$ where B = Al, Ga, In, As, and Sb; and RE$_3$Al$_5$O$_{12}$, where RE = Lu, Gd, Dy, and Er. We found that admixing with various RE cations does not appreciably effect the band gap or band edges. In contrast, substituting Al with cations of dissimilar ionic radii has a profound impact on the band structure. We further show that certain dopants can be used to selectively modify only the CBM or the VBM. Specifically, Ga and In decrease the band gap by lowering the CBM, while As and Sb decrease the band gap by raising the VBM. These results demonstrate a powerful approach to quickly screen the impact of dopants on the electronic structure of scintillator compounds, identifying those dopants which alter the band edges in very specific ways to eliminate both electron and hole traps responsible for performance limitations. This approach should be broadly applicable for the optimization of electronic and optical performance for a wide range of compounds by tuning the VBM and CBM.

description: This thesis explores the purpose of the miraculous in the convent Chronicle of Santissima Annunziata delle Murate. Scholarship has largely tended toward accepting miracles in this and other chronicles as trope of female monastic history writing in the sixteenth century. I argue instead that miracles are a central mechanism by which the Chronicle seeks to achieve its communicative aims and serve at least two purposes: to reinforce the divinely approved nature of the community, and as a means of teaching nuns ways to live virtuously.

description: Within the scope of a LRS Bianchi type-I cosmological model we study the role of the nonlinear spinor field in the evolution of the Universe. In doing so we consider a polynomial type of nonlinearity that describes different stages of the evolution. Finally we also use the observational data to fix the problem parameters that match best with the real picture of the evolution. The assessment of the age of the Universe in case of the soft beginning of expansion (initial speed of expansion in a point of singularity is equal to zero) the age was found 15 billion years, whereas in case of the hard beginning (nontrivial initial speed) it was found that the Universe is 13.7 billion years old.

description: Measles is an acute viral disease associated both with immune suppression and development of life-long immunity. Clearance of measles virus (MeV) involves rapid elimination of infectious virus during the rash followed by slow elimination of viral RNA. To characterize cellular immune responses during recovery, we analyzed the appearance, specificity and function of MeV-specific T cells for 6 months after respiratory infection of rhesus macaques with wild type MeV. IFN-Î³ and IL-17-producing cells specific for the hemagglutinin and nucleocapsid proteins appeared in circulation in multiple waves approximately 2-3, 8 and 18-24 weeks after infection. IFN-Î³-secreting cells were most abundant early and IL-17-secreting cells late. Both CD4 and CD8 T cells were sources of IFN-Î³ and IL-17, and IL-17-producing cells expressed RORÎ³t. Therefore, the cellular immune response evolves during MeV clearance to produce functionally distinct subsets of MeV-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells at different times after infection.

Main axes branching irregularly; branches and main axes with smooth margins or covered by numerous spine-like branches, arranged radially or alternately opposite, 1–2.5 mm in length (Fig. 22 and 26). Multiaxial organization with a filamentous medulla and a pseudoparenchymatous cortex (Fig. 23).

Inner cortex with six layers of stellate or rounded cells, 8.8–28.4 μm x 5.2–12 μm in diameter and 34–106 μm x 40–140 μm in diameter, respectively; outer cortex with two layers of ellipsoidal cells, 6–13 μm x 3.5–4.4 μm in diameter, markedly pigmented. Cystocarps developed on short laterals, with a single large central fusion cell from which diploid gonimoblast filaments radiate, 360–498 μm x 400–640 μm in diameter (Fig. 24). Tetrasporangia zonately divided, 30–40 μm x 10–15 μm in diameter, embedded in the cortical cells, each sporangium arising laterally from a stellate basal cell (Fig. 25).
 Taxonomic comment: Until recently, this species had been previously treated as Eucheuma isiforme (C.Agardh) J.Agardh. From molecular evidence this genus was found to be paraphyletic (Núñez Resendiz et al. 2019), so the new genus Eucheumatopsis Núñez Resendiz, Dreckmann & Sentíes was described to accommodate the species E. isiformis, this name is reinstated.

There and Back Again: the significance of far-travel and far-travellers in the Icelandic sagas

description: The Icelandic sagas describe Icelanders travelling throughout the medieval world. But their stories were also written down during a time of unrest, when Icelandic society was under great pressure from Norwegian political influence. The images of these far-travellers – like the men who went east to serve foreign kings, and the men and women who sailed the dangerous seas to the west, to discover and colonise new lands – can reveal aspects of author intent and values. This thesis explains how stories of far-travellers and journeys provide a literary response by their authors, articulating their sense of an emerging Icelandic identity.

description: Various neurological conditions, such as stroke or spinal cord injury, result in an impaired control of the hand. One method of restoring this impairment is through functional electrical stimulation (FES). However, traditional FES techniques often lead to quick fatigue and unnatural ballistic movements. In this study, we sought to explore the capabilities of a non-invasive proximal nerve stimulation technique in eliciting various hand grasp patterns. The ulnar and median nerves proximal to the elbow joint were activated transcutanously using a programmable stimulator, and the resultant finger flexion joint angles were recorded using a motion capture system. The individual finger motions averaged across the three joints were analyzed using a cluster analysis, in order to classify the different hand grasp patterns. With low current intensity (<5 mA and 100 µs pulse width) stimulation, our results show that all of our subjects demonstrated a variety of consistent hand grasp patterns including single finger movement and coordinated multi-finger movements. This study provides initial evidence on the feasibility of a proximal nerve stimulation technique in controlling a variety of finger movements and grasp patterns. Our approach could also be developed into a rehabilitative/assistive tool that can result in flexible movements of the fingers.

description: Cement-Bentonite (CB) cut-off walls are widely used as hydraulic and gas barriers around contaminated sites to prevent pollutants migration. The sealing integrity of the unsaturated section of the walls above the groundwater table is primordial to their long-term containment function. This thesis evaluates the unsaturated behaviour and gas transport properties of CB wall materials. The findings from this research provide the industry with a better understanding of the gas sealing integrity performance of CB wall materials and an insight into the mechanisms governing it.

description: We review several facets of the hydrodynamic description of the relativistic heavy ion collisions, starting from the historical motivation to the present understandings of the observed collective aspects of experimental data, especially those of the most recent RHIC and LHC results. In this report, we particularly focus on the conceptual questions and the physical foundations of the validity of the hydrodynamic approach itself. We also discuss recent efforts to clarify some of the points in this direction, such as the various forms of derivations of relativistic hydrodynamics together with the limitations intrinsic to the traditional approaches, variational approaches, known analytic solutions for special cases, and several new theoretical developments. Throughout this review, we stress the role of course-graining procedure in the hydrodynamic description and discuss its relation to the physical observables through the analysis of a hydrodynamic mapping of a microscopic transport model. Several questions to be answered to clarify the physics of collective phenomena in the relativistic heavy ion collisions are pointed out.

description: Ces guides mettent en évidence ce que nous avons appris des actions et des études de cas dans LIAISON. L’objectif est d’aider tous ceux qui utilisent ces méthodes à améliorer la manière dont ils co-innovent dans le domaine de l’agriculture, de la sylviculture et du développement rural. LIAISON (Better Rural Innovation: Linking Actors, Instruments and Policies through Networks) est un projet multi-acteurs qui a été financé dans le cadre du PEI Agri, une initiative lancée par la Commission européenne en 2012 dont l’objectif est de favoriser une agriculture et une sylviculture compétitives et durables qui « réalisent plus et mieux avec moins ». L’innovation interactive rassemble une diversité d’acteurs publics et privés de l’innovation (agricul-teurs, conseillers, chercheurs, entreprises, ONG, etc.) possédant des connaissances et des expériences com-plémentaires dans l’évaluation, la co-création et la diffusion de solutions pratiques aux besoins réels des agriculteurs et des forestiers. Ces besoins découlent des problématiques quotidiennes auxquelles sont confron-tés les agriculteurs, les forestiers et les entreprises rurales. Les innovations générées par une approche interactive peuvent fournir des solutions bien adap-tées au terrain et plus faciles à mettre en oeuvre.

description: We show that if $Γ= Γ_1\times\dotsb\times Γ_n$ is a product of $n\geq 2$ non-elementary ICC hyperbolic groups then any discrete group $Λ$ which is $W^*$-equivalent to $Γ$ decomposes as a $k$-fold direct sum exactly when $k=n$. This gives a group-level strengthening of Ozawa and Popa's unique prime decomposition theorem by removing all assumptions on the group $Λ$. This result in combination with Margulis' normal subgroup theorem allows us to give examples of lattices in the same Lie group which do not generate stably equivalent II$_1$ factors.

description: Humans, like all organisms, are subject to fundamental biophysical laws. Van Valen predicted that, because of zero-sum dynamics, all populations of all species in a given environment flux the same amount of energy on average. Damuth’s ’energetic equivalence rule’ supported Van Valen´s conjecture by showing a tradeoff between few big animals per area with high individual metabolic rates compared to abundant small species with low energy requirements. We use metabolic scaling theory to compare variation in densities and individual energy use in human societies to other land mammals. We show that hunter-gatherers occurred at densities lower than the average for a mammal of our size. Most modern humans, in contrast, concentrate in large cities at densities up to four orders of magnitude greater than hunter-gatherers, yet consume up to two orders of magnitude more energy per capita. Today, cities across the globe flux greater energy than net primary productivity on a per area basis. This is possible by importing enormous amounts of energy and materials required to sustain hyper-dense, modern humans. The metabolic rift with nature created by modern cities fueled largely by fossil energy poses formidable challenges for establishing a sustainable relationship on a rapidly urbanizing, yet finite planet.

description: In the study of entanglement in a spin chain, people often consider the nearest-neighbor spins. The motivation is the prevailing role of the short range interactions in creating quantum correlation between the 1st neighbor (1N) spins. Here, we address the same question between farther neighbor spins. We consider the one-dimensional (1D) spin-1/2 XY model in a magnetic field. Using the fermionization approach, we diagonalize the Hamiltonian of the system. Then, we provide the analytical results for entanglement between the 2nd, 3rd and 4th neighbor (denoted as 2N, 3N, and 4N respectively) spins. We find a magnetic entanglement that starts from a critical entangled-field ($h_c^{E}$) at zero temperature. The critical entangled-field depends on the distance between the spins. In addition to the analytical results, the mentioned phenomenon is confirmed by the numerical Lanczos calculations. By adding the temperature to the model, the magnetic entanglement remains stable up to a critical temperature, $T_c$. Our results show that entanglement spreads step by step to farther neighbors in the spin chain by reducing temperature. At first, the 1N spins are entangled and then further neighbors will be entangled respectively. $T_c$ depends on the value of the magnetic field and will be maximized at the quantum critical field.

description: Nitrogen‐rich solid absorbents, which have been immensely tested for carbon dioxide capture, seem until this date to be without decisive molecular engineering or design rules. Here, a family of cyanovinylene‐based microporous polymers synthesized under metal‐catalyzed conditions is reported as a promising candidate for advanced carbon capture materials. These networks reveal that isosteric heats of CO2 adsorption are directly proportional to the amount of their functional group. Motivated by this finding, polymers produced under base‐catalyzed conditions with tailored quantities of cyanovinyl content confirm the systematical tuning of their sorption enthalpies to reach 40 kJ mol−1. This value is among the highest reported to date in carbonaceous networks undergoing physisorption. A six‐point‐plot reveals that the structure–thermodynamic‐property relationship is linearly proportional and can thus be perfectly fitted to tailor‐made values prior to experimental measurements. Dynamic simulations show a bowl‐shaped region within which CO2 is able to sit and interact with its conjugated surrounding, while theoretical calculations confirm the increase of binding sites with the increase of Ph-CC=(CN)-Ph functionality in a network. This concept presents a distinct method for the future design of carbon dioxide capturing materials.

description: Bruck Syndrome is a connective tissue disease associated with inactivating mutations in lysyl hydroxylase 2 (LH2/PLOD2) or FK506 binding protein 65 (FKBP65/FKBP10). However, the functional relationship between LH2 and FKBP65 remains unclear. Here, we postulated that peptidyl prolyl isomerase (PPIase) activity of FKBP65 positively modulates LH2 enzymatic activity and is critical for the formation of hydroxylysine-aldehyde derived intermolecular collagen cross-links (HLCCs). To test this hypothesis, we analyzed collagen cross-links in Fkbp10-null and –wild-type murine embryonic fibroblasts. Although LH2 protein levels did not change, FKBP65 deficiency significantly diminished HLCCs and increased the non-hydroxylated lysine-aldehyde–derived collagen cross-links (LCCs), a pattern consistent with loss of LH2 enzymatic activity. The HLCC-to-LCC ratio was rescued in FKBP65-deficient murine embryonic fibroblasts by reconstitution with wild-type but not mutant FKBP65 that lacks intact PPIase domains. Findings from co-immunoprecipitation, protein-fragment complementation, and co-immunofluorescence assays showed that LH2 and FKBP65 are part of a common protein complex. We conclude that FKBP65 regulates LH2-mediated collagen cross-linking. Because LH2 promotes fibrosis and cancer metastasis, our findings suggest that pharmacologic strategies to target FKBP65 and LH2 may have complementary therapeutic activities.
