description: Different from other sectors in the Brazilian agriculture, the dairy is still immature, especially regarding external markets competition, and therefore is facing difficult challenges. This study identifies the main factors affecting the competitiveness in one of the most promising and dynamic dairy production areas in the world, the mesoregion Grande Fronteira do Mercosul in Southern Brazil. It is based on the perceptions of supply chain leaders about the challenges to improve the competitiveness. Missing professionalism, formal agreements, investments in marketing and research, technology, development and innovation, technical assistance, high transport and transaction costs, idle capacities and frauds are among the main factors retarding the modernization of this supply chain. It also present different strategies already implemented by some actors to overcome such competitiveness barriers. Therefore these problems and strategies must be the target of managers and authorities in a sustainable common project of development for the benefit of the whole chain. Acknowledgement : We would like to acknowledge the CAPES from the Brazilian Ministry of Education for the financing as well as the interviewees participants of this study for their time and dedication.

description: We study the semi-classical trace formula at a critical energy level for a $h$-pseudo-differential operator on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ whose principal symbol has a totally degenerate critical point for that energy. We compute the contribution to the trace formula of isolated non-extremum critical points under a condition of "real principal type". The new contribution to the trace formula is valid for all time in a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}$ but the result is modest since we have restrictions on the dimension.

title: The role of endo-β-1,4-glucanase in strawberry fruit development
Creators: name: Woolley, Lindsey C
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: The ripening of strawberry fruit is characterized by changes in the composition and structure of the cell wall polysaccharides leading to textural changes and loss of firmness of the fruit. An endo-β-1,4-glucanase (EGase) was purified from ripe strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) fruit using cellulose affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme gave a single protein band of 54 kDa on sodium dqdecyl sulphate- polyaciylamide gel electrophoresis. A 25 amino acid N-terminal sequence showed strong homology with the proteins encoded by recently identified EGase genes from different strawberry cultivars and from Arabidopsis, pepper and tomato. The enzyme specifically cleaved the β-1,4-glucosyl linkages of xyloglucan but was unable to hydrolyze those of insoluble cellulose. The pH optimum and Km of the enzyme against the artificial substrate carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were pH 5.0 to 7.0 and 1.3 mg ml-1 respectively. A cDNA of the corresponding ripening-enhanced, fruit-specific gene, cel1, was isolated from a ripe fruit cDNA library. This was used to down-regulate cel1 expression in transgenic strawberry plants in order to assess the potential role(s) played by Cel1 during strawberry fruit ripening. In several transgenic lines, Cel1 mRNA was suppressed to undetectable levels in ripe fruit. However, EGase activity and firmness of these fruit were indistinguishable from control fruit. A second strawberry EGase gene, cel2, is also expressed in ripening fruit and this presence has prevented specific down- regulation of cel1 from revealing its role in fruit softening. Southern analysis of cel1 and cel2 revealed the presence of related sequences in the strawberry genome indicating a small multigene family, consistent with the isolation of two different EGase cDNAs from strawberry.

description: We study adding flavors into the Maldacena-Nŭnez background. It is achieved by introducing spacetime filling D9-branes or intersecting D5$'$-branes into the background with a wrapping D5-brane. Both D9-branes and D5$'$-branes can be spacetime filling from the 5D bulk point of view. At the probe limit it corresponds to introducing non-chiral fundamental flavors into the dual N=1 SYM. We propose a method to twist the fundamental flavor which has to involve open string charge. It reflects the fact that coupling fundamental matter to SYM in the dual string theory corresponds to adding an open string sector

description: Toctoc Casari, new genus
 Diagnosis. Frons with supra-antennal carinae strong, present only laterally, above antennal insertions (Figs. 39, 40); nasale very high, continuous with frons; mouthparts downwardly directed; pronotosternal groove absent; prosternal spine with apex sharpened with subapical tooth; prosternum short in relation to hypomeron and roundly prominent between procoxae; lateral carina of pronotum not visible dorsally, displaced ventrally; mesosternal cavity with borders declivous; metacoxal plate with posterior margin straight; tarsomeres 1–3 lamellate beneath; elytra long in relation to pronotum length.
 Toctoc is morphologically similar to Dipropus Germar, 1839, a very speciose (about 150 species) and probably paraphyletic genus recorded from North, Central, and South America. However, it is easily separated by the presence of the following in Dipropus: frons carinate; pronotosternal groove distinct; and posterior margin of metacoxal plate with a tooth.
 Toctoc is also similar to Olophoeus Candèze, 1859 and Propsephus Hyslop, 1921, both from Africa, in body shape and general appearance, but differs as follows: frons partially carinate (carinate in Olophoeus and Propsephus), mandibles asymmetrical (symmetrical in Olophoeus and Propsephus); mandibles narrow with one wide tooth or lobe at middle of mesal area (mandibles wide, with one subapical tooth in Olophoeus and Propsephus); molar area absent (absent in Olophoeus; well-developed in Propsephus); last maxillary palpomere with widened apex (elliptical in Olophoeus; securiform in Propsephus); pronotosternal groove absent (short in Olophoeus; long in Propsephus;); prosternal spine with subapical tooth (subapical lobe in Olophoeus and Propsephus); posterior margin of metacoxal plate straight (straight in Olophoeus; with small lobe in Propsephus); bursa copulatrix without spines or plates (with spines in Olophoeus and Propsephus).
 Etymology. “ Toctoc ” is onomatopoeic, imitating the sound emitted by the elaterids when jumping. It is a popular name for click beetles in the northwest region of Brazil. The gender is masculine.
 Distribution. B r a z i l, M a r a n h ã o: M i r a d o r (Parque Estadual Mirador).

title: The effects of concentrate composition and sequence of allocation on the metabolism and performance of growing sheep
Creators: name: Richardson, Jane Mary
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: Four experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of concentrate composition and sequence of allocation on the metabolism and performance of growing lambs. In the first experiment five feed ingredients were characterised using the in situ incubation technique. The degradability constants determined were then used in the construction of a spreadsheet which enabled prediction of hourly nitrogen and organic matter release from the diets to be used in subsequent experiments. In the second experiment 48 lambs were fed at a restricted level diets containing either barley or sugar beet pulp as the main energy source. Within each energy source the sequence of allocation of the individual ingredients was altered to give a pattern of nitrogen and organic matter release within the rumen which was synchronous, intermediate or asynchronous. Lambs fed the barley based diets deposited significantly more fat in the whole body than lambs on the sugar beet based diets (p<0.001) and lambs on the asynchronous diets tended to deposit less fat in the whole body than lambs on the synchronous or intermediate diets (p<0.1). There were significant differences between energy sources and degree of synchrony in the pattern of rumen and plasma nitrogen metabolites. In the third experiment the same diets were fed to 24 lambs and the effects on nutrient digestibility and microbial protein supply were assessed. Lambs on the sugar beet based diet showed significantly higher digestibilities of organic matter and neutral detergent fibre than lambs on the barley based diet, however the Iambs on the barley based diet had a significantly higher level of purine derivative excretion (p<0.05) and a significantly higher calculated microbial protein supply (p<0.05). In the fourth experiment the barley based diets used in the previous experiments were fed ad libitum to 24 lambs. No significant effects on growth rate or carcass characteristics were seen and there were few significant differences in rumen or plasma metabolites. Overall, energy source within the diet had a greater effect on growth and metabolism of lambs than degree of synchronisation of nitrogen and organic matter supply to the rumen.

description: This research examines home style of United States congressional representatives. It expands research on home style began by Richard Fenno in the 1970s, but focuses on behavior of representatives in the context of communication activities performed in the district, in Washington, through the mass media, and the non-verbal behavior of representatives. The study tests differences in communication style between black and non-black representatives, as well as among black representatives. It also identifies characteristics unique to black representatives and offers explanations for why their communication style is different from others. Data from this study show black representatives interact more frequently and in varied ways in majority black districts than in heterogeneous districts or majority white districts. Analysis of variance, t-tests, multiple regression, frequency tables, and cross-tabulations of the data were performed from interviews with 18 black and 14 non-black representatives. Results of these tests provided data for comparing type and frequency of constituent-related communication activities by race. Representatives in the sample have all been in Congress three or more years, long enough to develop a home style. Results of the study reveal racial homogeneity of districts, geographical location, and prior occupation of representatives contribute to variation in communication style. Among black representatives the undergraduate college attended was found statistically significant to communication style in the district, between Washington and the district, and level of involvement of representatives in the mass media. In terms of race, the data show if the race of the representative is black and the race of a majority of the district voters is also black, the communications style is significantly different from that of other representatives. Also, the communication style of representatives from the Far West is significantly different for building and maintaining constituent relations. This study is important because it identifies characteristics unique to black representation and expands Fenno's research by focusing on the communication behavior of representatives in describing home style.

description: Krylov complexity has recently emerged as a new paradigm to characterize quantum chaos in many-body systems. However, which features of Krylov complexity are prerogative of quantum chaotic systems and how they relate to more standard probes, such as spectral statistics or out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs), remain open questions. Recent insights have revealed that in quantum chaotic systems Krylov state complexity exhibits a distinct peak during time evolution before settling into a well-understood late-time plateau. In this work, we propose that this Krylov complexity peak (KCP) is a hallmark of quantum chaotic systems and suggest that its height could serve as an `order parameter' for quantum chaos. We demonstrate that the KCP effectively identifies chaotic-integrable transitions in two representative quantum mechanical models at both infinite and finite temperature: the mass-deformed Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model and the sparse Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. Our findings align with established results from spectral statistics and OTOCs, while introducing an operator-independent diagnostic for quantum chaos, offering more `universal' insights and a deeper understanding of the general properties of quantum chaotic systems.

description: We address the question of minimal requirements for the existence of quantum bound states. In particular, we demonstrate that a few-body system with zero-range momentum-independent two-body interactions is unstable against decay into clusters, if mixed-symmetry of its wave function is enforced. We claim that any theory in which the two-body scattering length is much larger than any other scale involved exhibits such instability. We exemplify this with the inability of the leading-order pionless effective field theory to describe stable states of $A>4$ nuclei. A finite interaction range is identified as a sufficient condition for a bound mixed-symmetry system. The minimal value of this range depends on the proximity of a system to unitarity, on the number of constituents, and on the particular realization of discrete scale invariance of the three-body spectrum.

Creators: name: Kazim, Aquil Abdulfattah
Publisher: name: American University

description: This study is a socio-discursive analysis of Arabian Gulf society, with emphasis on what is now the contemporary U.A.E. It covers four periods: the Islamic period (600 A.D.-1500 A.D.); the transformational period (1500-1820); the colonial period (1820-1971) and the contemporary period (1971-1995). Socio-discursive analysis is used in treating each of these periods. This means that the emphasis is on the social formation, or the political, economic and cultural structure of Arabian Gulf society that arose during each period, and on the discourses, or the socially constructed power relations arising in Arabian Gulf society during each period. As Arabian Gulf society is analyzed for each period, Arabian Gulf society is examined both in relation to previous periods and in terms of how it interacted with the global system, or other societies, surrounding it during each period. However, this study avoids treating the periods and stages through which Arabian Gulf society passed in terms of the pre-oil/ post oil, or the pre-colonial/post-colonial model. Instead, it analyzes Arabian Gulf society during each period in relation to its own construction, in relation to continuities and discontinuities from previous periods, and in relation to other societies within the global system of each period with which Arabian Gulf society interacted. This study assesses how each period's socio-discursive formation has been able to transform and reproduce itself, and how the contemporary socio-discursive formation has done so in relation to its predecessors.

description: Products and coproducts may be recognized as morphisms in a monoidal tensor category of vector spaces. To gain invariant data of these morphisms, we can use singular value decomposition which attaches singular values, ie generalized eigenvalues, to these maps. We show, for the case of Grassmann and Clifford products, that twist maps significantly alter these data reducing degeneracies. Since non group like coproducts give rise to non classical behavior of the algebra of functions, ie make them noncommutative, we hope to be able to learn more about such geometries. Remarkably the coproduct for positive singular values of eigenvectors in $A$ yields directly corresponding eigenvectors in A\otimes A.

We propose a simple setup to generate quantum many-body scars in a doubly modulated Bose-Hubbard system which can be readily implemented in cold atomic gases. The dynamics are shown to be governed by kinetic constraints which appear via density assisted tunneling in a high-frequency expansion. We find the optimal driving parameters for the kinetically constrained hopping which leads to small isolated subspaces of scared eigenstates. The experimental signatures and the transition to fully thermalizing behavior as a function of driving frequency are analyzed.

В статье рассматривается опыт организационно-правовой деятельности органов советской власти Урала по ликвидации эпидемии сыпного тифа, получившей распространение после освобождения территории края от белогвардейских войск в 1919-1920 гг. В своем исследовании авторы обращают внимание на использование советскими организациями, вновь созданными в 1919 г., разнообразных форм и способов борьбы с эпидемическими заболеваниями в условиях гражданской войны и крайне ограниченных экономических и медицинских возможностей. В статье рассматривается практика применения не только плановых, но и чрезвычайных мероприятий, направленных на борьбу с эпидемиями, а также различные способы мобилизации населения для осуществления поставленных органами власти задач. В условиях продолжающейся в современном мире пандемии опыт, приобретенный предыдущими поколениями населения Российской Федерации более ста лет назад, может оказаться полезным в борьбе с новой коронавирусной инфекцией Covid-19.

description: In this paper we investigate the relation between the scaling properties of the linear response function $R(t,s)$, of the thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) and of the zero field cooled magnetization (ZFC) in the context of phase ordering kinetics. We explain why the retrival of the scaling properties of $R(t,s)$ from those of TRM and ZFC is not trivial. Preasymptotic contributions generate a long crossover in TRM, while ZFC is affected by a dangerous irrelevant variable. Lack of understanding of both these points has generated some confusion in the literature. The full picture relating the exponents of all the quantities involved is explicitely illustrated in the framework of the large $N$ model. Following this scheme, an assessment of the present status of numerical simulations for the Ising model can be made. We reach the conclusion that on the basis of the data available up to now, statements on the scaling properties of $R(t,s)$ can be made from ZFC but not from TRM. From ZFC data for the Ising model with $d=2,3,4$ we confirm the previously found linear dependence on dimensionality of the exponent $a$ entering $R(t,s) \sim s^{-(1+a)}f(t/s)$. We also find evidence that a recently derived form of the scaling function $f(x)$, using local scale invariance arguments [M.Henkel, M.Pleimling, C.Godrèche and J.M.Luck, Phys.Rev.Lett. {\bf 87}, 265701 (2001)], does not hold for the Ising model.

title: The human antibody response to infection with Verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli.
Creators: name: Jenkins, Claire

description: Strains of Verocytotoxin-producmg Escherichia coli (VTEC) are inportant food and water-borne pathogens causing gastroenteritis, and in more severe cases, haemorrhagic colitis (HC) and haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), Hie antibody response of patients infected with VTEC 0157 to the lipopo lysaccharide (EPS) of this organism has been well-characterised, however, the antibody response to other putative pathogenicity factors expressed by VTEC is poorly understood. The aim of this research was to characterise a range of bacterial components, including Verocytotoxin (VT), EPS, enterohaemolysm, H7 flagella antigen, fimbriae and proteins encoded by the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) pathogenicity island, and to assess the humoral antibody response to these components. Antibodies to VT could not be detected in patients infected with VTEC using immunoblotting, and patients could not be distinguished from healthy blood donors using a VT-based ELISA. Patients infected with different serogroups of VTEC produced antibodies to the homologous EPS, but sera from healthy blood donors were also found to contain antibodies to the EPS of two common VTEC serogroups. The detection of antibodies to the EPS of VTEC 0157 in saliva demonstrated the possibility of developing a non-invasive diagnostic technique. Most patients infected with VTEC produced antibodies to the LEE-encoded proteins expressed by strains of VTEC 0157 and other VTEC strains associated with human infection. The antibody response of patients infected with VTEC to the LEE-encoded proteins contributed towards our understanding of the role of each protein in the pathogenicity of strains with the AE phenotype. Certain strains produced a haemolysin under specific growth conditions, termed enterohaemolysin. The haemolysin phenotype varied between strains of VTEC and certain strains may produce other haemolysins in addition to enterohaemolysin. Few patients produced antibodies to enterohaemolysin or the H7 flagella antigens. Strains of VTEC 0157 did not express fimbriae, and all but one strain of VTEC other than 0157 expressed type 1 fimbriae. Variations in haemolysin expression and the types of fimbriae produced reflect the diversity of the VTEC group. The antibody response of patients infected with VTEC appears to be mainly directed at EPS and certain LEE-encoded proteins. Detection of these antibodies in patients’ sera would provide good evidence of VTEC infection.
Low multipole contributions to the gravitational self-force

description: We calculate the unregularized monopole and dipole contributions to the self-force acting on a particle of small mass in a circular orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole. From a self-force point of view, these non-radiating modes are as important as the radiating modes with l greater than 2. In fact, we demonstrate how the dipole self-force contributes to the dynamics even at the Newtonian level. The self-acceleration of a particle is an inherently gauge-dependent concept, but the Lorenz gauge is often preferred because of its hyperbolic wave operator. Our results are in the Lorenz gauge and are also obtained in closed form, except for the even-parity dipole case where we formulate and implement a numerical approach.

description: The dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) is a quantum cluster extension to the single-site dynamical mean-field theory that incorporates spatially nonlocal dynamic correlations systematically and nonperturbatively. The DCA$^+$ algorithm addresses the cluster shape dependence of the DCA and improves the convergence with cluster size by introducing a lattice self-energy with continuous momentum dependence. However, we show that the DCA$^+$ algorithm is plagued by a fundamental problem when its self-consistency equations are formulated using the bare Green's function of the cluster. This problem is most severe in the strongly correlated regime at low doping, where the DCA$^+$ self-energy becomes overly metallic and local, and persists to cluster sizes where the standard DCA has long converged. In view of the failure of the DCA$^+$ algorithm, we propose to complement DCA simulations with a post-interpolation procedure for single-particle and two-particle correlation functions to preserve continuous momentum dependence and the associated benefits in the DCA. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this practical approach with results for the half-filled and hole-doped two-dimensional Hubbard model.

description: This study compared the performance of children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) to that of two control groups: one matched by Verbal Mental age (VMC) and one by Performance Mental age (PMC) on tests designed to assess the perception of faces, facial expression, and affective situations. Children with PDD had more difficulty selecting the appropriate facial expressions for cartoons depicting social interactions compared to the PMC group but not the VMC group. However, they did not differ from either control group on a comparable test which excluded the affective component. Moreover, children with PDD showed specific areas of difficulty in their perception of faces and facial expressions. For example, they had more difficulty matching non-identical faces relative to identical faces, and tended to match by identity rather than facial expression. These findings suggest that these children possess specific deficits in processing affective/perceptual material. Future research might include the use of more ecologically valid measures to allow manipulation of additional variables that are likely to influence the comprehension of affective stimuli.

description: Coulomb dissociation is an especially simple and important reaction mechanism. Since the perturbation due to the electric field of the (target) nucleus is exactly known, firm conclusions can be drawn from such measurements. Electromagnetic matrixelements and astrophysical S-factors for radiative capture processes can be extracted from experiments. We describe the basic elements of the theory of nonrelativistic and relativistic electromagnetic excitation with heavy ions. This is contrasted to electromagnetic excitation with leptons (electrons), with their small electric charge and the absence of strong interactions. We discuss various approaches to the study of higher order electromagnetic effects and how these effects depend on the basic parameters of the experiment. The dissociation of neutron halo nuclei is studied in a zero range model using analytical methods. We also review ways how to treat nuclear interactions, show their characteristics and how to avoid them (as far as possible). We review the experimental results from a theoretical point of view. Of special interest for nuclear structure physics is the appearence of low lying electric dipole strength in neutron rich nuclei. Applications of Coulomb dissociation to some selected radiative capture reactions relevant for nuclear astrophysics are discussed. The Coulomb dissociation of 8B is relevant for the solar neutrino problem. The potential of the method especially for future investigations of (medium) heavy exotic nuclei for nuclear structure and astrophysics is explored. We conclude that the Coulomb dissociation mechanism is theoretically well understood, the potential difficulties are identified and can be taken care of. Many interesting experiments have been done in this field and many more are expected in the future.
