description: In the standard model of electroweak interactions the Higgs doublet is replaced by a complex vector doublet and a real vector singlet. The gauge symmetry is broken dynamically by a mixed condensate of the doublet and singlet vector fields. Gauge fields get their usual standard model masses by condensation. The new vector matter fields become massive by their gauge invariant selfcouplings. Fermions are assigned to the gauge group in the usual manner. Fermion masses are coming from a gauge invariant fermion-vector field interaction by a mixed condensate. The Kobayashi-Maskawa description is unchanged. It is shown that from the new matter fields a large number of spin-one particle pairs is expected at future high energy e^{+}e^{-} linear colliders of 500-1500 GeV.

description: In this paper we discuss gauging one-form symmetries in two-dimensional theories. The existence of a global one-form symmetry in two dimensions typically signals a violation of cluster decomposition -- an issue resolved by the observation that such theories decompose into disjoint unions, a result that has been applied to, for example, Gromov-Witten theory and gauged linear sigma model phases. In this paper we describe how gauging one-form symmetries in two-dimensional theories can be used to select particular elements of that disjoint union, effectively undoing decomposition. We examine such gaugings explicitly in examples involving orbifolds, nonsupersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theories, and supersymmetric gauge theories in two dimensions. Along the way, we learn explicit concrete details of the topological configurations that path integrals sum over when gauging a one-form symmetry, and we also uncover `hidden' one-form symmetries.

description: Geological Survey of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

The transnational EU-Interreg-funded “Roll-out of Deep Geothermal Energy in North-West Europe” (DGE-ROLLOUT) project aims to reduce CO2 emissions following a multi-disciplinary geoscientific approach, and promotes the use of hydrothermal energy as a future-oriented, climate and environmentally friendly resource. During mid-Palaeozoic times, marine transgressive-regressive cycles enabled the development of extensive reef complexes on the southerly continental shelf of the Laurussian palaeocontinent, whose remainders now make up large parts of the Rhenohercynian Basin. Amongst others, the up to several hundred meters thick Dinantian Kohlenkalk Group was formed.

description: Ab initio RNA secondary structure predictions have long dismissed helices interior to loops, so-called pseudoknots, despite their structural importance. Here, we report that many pseudoknots can be predicted through long time scales RNA folding simulations, which follow the stochastic closing and opening of individual RNA helices. The numerical efficacy of these stochastic simulations relies on an O(n^2) clustering algorithm which computes time averages over a continously updated set of n reference structures. Applying this exact stochastic clustering approach, we typically obtain a 5- to 100-fold simulation speed-up for RNA sequences up to 400 bases, while the effective acceleration can be as high as 100,000-fold for short multistable molecules (<150 bases). We performed extensive folding statistics on random and natural RNA sequences, and found that pseudoknots are unevenly distributed amongst RNAstructures and account for up to 30% of base pairs in G+C rich RNA sequences (Online RNA folding kinetics server including pseudoknots : http://kinefold.u-strasbg.fr/ ).

description: We report theoretical and experimental analyses of the thermal Hall conductivity in correlated systems. For both fermionic and bosonic excitations with nontrivial topology, we show that at "intermediate" temperatures, the thermal Hall conductivity exhibits an unexpected universal scaling with a simple exponential form. At low temperatures, it behaves differently and reflects the spectral properties of underlying excitations. Our predictions are examined as examples in two prototype compounds, the quantum paraelectric SrTiO$_3$ and the spin-liquid compound RuCl$_3$. The experimental data can be largely covered by our proposed minimal phenomenological model independent of microscopic details, revealing dominant bosonic contributions in SrTiO$_3$ and gapped fermionic excitations in RuCl$_3$. Our work establishes a phenomenological link between microscopic models and experimental data and provides a unified basis for analyzing the thermal Hall conductivity in correlated systems over a wide temperature region.

description: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) involves multifaceted pathophysiology which increases the risk of cardiorenal events and mortality. Conventional therapy is limited to renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibition and management of hyperglycemia and hypertension. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated promising nephroprotective effects of antihyperglycemic agents thus modifying guideline treatment recommendations for type 2 diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease. Relevant studies and clinical trials were searched via PubMed and clinicaltrials.gov through August 2020. Authors offer an update on clinical evidence regarding nephroprotective effects and side effects of sodium-glucose-cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP1) agonists and dipeptidylpeptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors. They discuss the potential benefits of novel therapy targeting DKD pathogenic processes including inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and vasoconstriction shown in early phases of clinical trials and offer an opinion on key challenges and directions for future progress. SGLT2 inhibitors are the most promising agents for DKD and improving cardiorenal outcomes. Mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonists and janus kinase inhibitors are also promising investigational therapies that target oxidative stress, nitric oxide synthesis, and inflammation. Novel therapeutic targets and the identification of clinically useful biomarkers may provide future therapies that detect early stages of DKD enabling a slower kidney function decline.

description: The giant radio galaxy M87 is usually classified as a Fanaroff-Riley class I source, suggesting that M87 is a mis-aligned BL Lac object. Its unresolved nuclear region emits strong non-thermal emission from radio to X-rays which has been interpreted as synchrotron radiation. In an earlier paper we predicted M87 as a source of detectable gamma ray emission in the context of the hadronic Synchrotron-Proton Blazar (SPB) model. The subsequent tentative detection of TeV energy photons by the HEGRA-telescope array would, if confirmed, make it the first radio galaxy to be detected at TeV-energies. We discuss the emission from the unresolved nuclear region of M87 in the context of the SPB model, and give examples of possible model representations of its non-simultaneous spectral energy distribution. The low-energy component can be explained as synchrotron radiation by a primary relativistic electron population that is injected together with energetic protons into a highly magnetized emission region. We find that the gamma-ray power output is dominated either by mu/pi-synchrotron or proton synchrotron radiation depending on whether the primary electron synchrotron component peaks at low or high energies, respectively. The predicted gamma-ray luminosity peaks at around 100 GeV at a level comparable to that of the low-energy hump, and this makes M87 a promising candidate source for the newly-commissioned high-sensitivity low-threshold Cherenkov telescopes H.E.S.S., VERITAS, MAGIC and CANGAROO III.

description: We study the spontaneous ''sliding'' of histone spools (nucleosomes) along DNA as a result of thermally activated single base pair twist defects. To this end we map the system onto a suitably extended Frenkel-Kontorova model. Combining results from several recent experiments we are able to estimate the nucleosome mobility without adjustable parameters. Our model shows also how the local mobility is intimately linked to the underlying base pair sequence.

description: Municipalities have used tax incentives to attract manufacturing firms to counteract market failures, mobilize resources in blighted areas, and engage in bidding wars with other jurisdictions. These reasons have typically been remedies for regions experiencing unemployment and low growth. However, high growth areas still use tax incentives to manage growth. In these cases, the costs of growth, especially related to congestion, pollution, costs of city services and rising prices, must be compared to economic benefits resulting from a tax incentive. The case study in this paper is based on a proposal to the city of Fort Collins, Colorado by Hyundai Corporation, who requested a $25.5 million use tax rebate. This paper uses a data intensive computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to estimate endogenously the costs and benefits of growth. Results of the analysis suggest an $18.15 million rebate was warranted.

description: In this paper we consider a superconducting film modeled by the Ginzburg-Landau model, confined between two parallel planes a distance $L$ apart from one another. Our approach is based on the Gaussian effective potential in the transverse unitarity gauge, which allows to treat gauge contributions in a compact form. Using techniques from dimensional and $zeta$-function regularizations, modified by the confinement conditions, we investigate the critical temperature as a function of the film thickness $L$. The contributions from the scalar self-interaction and from the gauge fluctuations are clearly identified. The model suggests the existence of a minimal critical thickness below which superconductivity is suppressed.

description: The aim of the study was to analyse the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and repeat induced abortion, with regard to the potential effects of social deprivation and intimate partner violence. An observational cross-sectional survey was conducted across each of the 25 abortion centres in Aquitaine, France, from 15 June to 15 September 2009. The sample comprised 806 women >18 years who had requested an induced abortion. Data were collected through a self-reported anonymous questionnaire on ACEs and experience of previous abortion. The main outcome measure was the percentage of repeat induced abortions. Among the participants, 473 (58.7%) were having their first induced abortion and 333 (41.3%) had already had a previous induced abortion. The abortion rank (first, second, third or more) was inversely related to the proportion of women with no ACE exposure (28%, 20% and 9%, respectively) and positively related to the proportion of women with a high ACE exposure (17%, 27% and 32%, respectively). Compared with women with no ACE exposure who were having a first induced abortion, in those with high ACE exposure, the odds of a third or more request for abortion was high: adjusted odds ratio 7.73 (95% confidence interval 3.56, 16.77). We found a strong graded link between the extent of ACE exposure and the occurrence of repeat induced abortion.
Processes Influencing the Successful Adoption of New Technologies by Smallholders

description: Many studies have examined the particular farm-level factors affecting the adoption of new technologies by smallholders. Using an ‘actor-oriented perspective’, this paper focuses on the larger processes at work in the development, dissemination and adoption of improved technologies. Three case studies of upland soil conservation projects in the Philippines are used to illustrate the argument that successful adoption depends on more than careful planning in research and the use of appropriate methodologies in extension. It depends on the timely formation of coalitions of key actors whose interests converge sufficiently that they can focus their resources and efforts on achieving change in agricultural systems. It also depends on critical external factors that are largely unpredictable. Newer approaches such as ‘participatory technology development’ are based on an appreciation of the evolving, adaptive and inherently participative nature of agricultural development processes. However, a broader, more flexible approach is needed which gives explicit recognition to the personal, cultural and political dimensions of coalition-building for technology development.

description: Aluminum Indium Nitride (AlInN) alloys offer great potential for photovoltaic devices thanks to their wide direct bandgap energy that covers the solar spectrum from 0.7 eV (InN) to 6.2 eV (AlN), and their superior resistance to high temperatures and high-energy particles. In this paper, we report the design of AlInN on silicon heterojunctions, with the aim to explore their potential for solar cell devices through the analysis and optimization of the properties of the AlInN on Si heterojunction. In particular, we study the influence of the AlInN bandgap energy, AlInN thickness and carrier concentration, silicon surface recombination, interface defects and Si wafer quality on the photovoltaic properties (conversion efficiency and external quantum efficiency) of the AlInN on Si heterojunctions. The effect of introducing an anti-reflective coating is also studied. Optimized AlInN on Si heterostructure shows a conversion efficiency of 18% under 1-sun AM1.5G illumination for low-quality Si wafers, which increases to 23.6% for high-quality Si wafers and incorporating a properly designed anti-reflective layer. In comparison with standard Si solar cells without AlInN, the external quantum efficient of the devices increases for wavelengths below 500 nm, making them appealing for space applications. These results lead to the AlInN on Si heterojunction a promising future as a novel technology for solar cell devices.

description: We have built two samples of galaxies selected at 0.2micron (hereafter UV) and 60micron (hereafter FIR) covering a sky area of 35.36 deg^2. The UV selected sample contains 25 galaxies brighter than AB_0.2=17mag. All of them, but one elliptical, are detected at 60micron with a flux density larger or equal to 0.2Jy. The UV counts are significantly lower than the euclidean extrapolation towards brighter fluxes of previous determinations. The FIR selected sample contains 42 galaxies brighter than f_60=0.6Jy. Excepting four galaxies, all of them have a UV counterpart at the limiting magnitude AB_0.2=20.3mag. The mean extinction derived from the analysis of the FIR to UV flux ratio is ~1mag for the UV selected sample and ~2mag for the FIR selected one. For each sample we compare several indicators of the recent star formation rate (SFR) based on the FIR and/or the UV emissions and we find linear relationships with slopes close to unity, meaning that no trend with the SFR exists when converting between each other. Various absolute calibrations for both samples are discussed in this paper. A positive correlation between extinction and SFR is found when both samples are considered together although with a considerable scatter. A similar result is obtained when using the SFR normalized to the optical surface of the galaxies.

description: The aims of the study were to find out why some post-reproductive aged women did not participate in the organised cervical cancer screening programme in Latvia and to clarify factors that would motivate them to take part. A cross-sectional study was carried out between January and July 2017 among female patients in three general practitioner (GP) practices. GP practice nurses used the Latvian national health service database to identify women aged 25–70 who had not participated in the organised programme for the last 3 years. Participants were asked to complete a specially developed questionnaire. The results were then compared between three age groups: 25–34, 35–49 and 50–70 years. Included in the study were 523 out of 992 women who had not attended screening; 41% were in the age group 50–70 years. Post-reproductive aged women statistically significantly more often did not take part in the programme because of lack of time (26.4%), too great a distance to the gynaecology screening clinic (10.4%), lengthy appointment waiting time (8.5%) and a belief that a smear test was unnecessary for them (8.5%); 32.1% of women in this age group indicated that if the cervical screen could be carried out by their GP it would facilitate their participation in the programme. Post-reproductive aged women in Latvia often do not attend cervical cancer screening. Analysis of personal and organisational barriers confirmed that the involvement of GPs would encourage older women to participate in the organised screening programme.

description: We present first-principles calculations in the framework of density-functional theory and the pseudopotential approach, aiming to model the intermediate stages of the reduction of NO in the presence of MoO$_3$(010). In particular, we study the formation of dinitrosyl, which proves to be an important intermediate stage in the catalytic reduction. We find that the replacement of an oxygen of MoO$_3$ by NO is energetically favorable, and that the system lowers further its energy by the formation of (NO)$_2$. Moreover, the geometry and charge distribution for the adsorbed dinitrosyl indicates a metal-oxide mediated coupling between the two nitrogen and the two oxygen atoms. We discuss the mechanisms for the dinitrosyl formation and the role of the oxide in the reaction.

New constraints for nuclear parton distribution functions from hadron-nucleus collision processes

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: This work studies collinearly factorizable nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at next-to-leading order in the light of hadron-nucleus collision data which have not been included in nPDF analyses previously. The aim is at setting new constraints on the nuclear modifications of the gluon distribution and on the flavour separation of quark nuclear modifications. The introductory part provides an outline of the theoretical framework of QCD collinear factorization and the used statistical methods and relates the work presented here to other similar contemporary analyses. As a result, a new set of nPDFs, EPPS16, is presented, including for the first time electroweak-boson and dijet production data from CERN-LHC proton-lead collisions and allowing a full flavour separation in the fit. The flavour separation is constrained with Drell-Yan dilepton-production data from fixed target pion-nucleus experiments and neutrino-nucleus deep-inelastic scattering data, which are shown to give evidence for the similarity of the u and d valence-quark nuclear modifications. For studying the gluon degrees of freedom, collider data are essential and in the EPPS16 analysis new constraints are derived from the dijet production at the LHC. Possible further constraints for the gluons are investigated in terms of the LHC data on nuclear modification ratios of dijet and D-meson production. Using a non-quadratically improved Hessian reweighting method, these measurements are found to put stringent constraints on the gluon modifications in the lead nucleus, reaching smaller values of the nucleon momentum fraction than previously accessible. A study on the future prospects of constraining nPDFs within a multi-observable approach with the BNL-RHIC is also given.

 The ammonites from upper Coniacian to middle to upper Santonian of the Siah-Kuh section in Zagros basin, west of Iran have been described and illustrated. Three ammonite species from the argillaceous limestones of the Ilam Formation of the Bangestan Group are recognized. These ammonite species consist of Texanites (Texanites) gallicus Collignon, 1948, Texanites rarecostus Collignon, 1966 and Protexanites (Protexanites) cycni van Hoepen, 1965. These identified ammonite taxa are recorded from Iran for the first time. According to these ammonite species, first 100 m of the Ilam Formation dated as upper Coniacian to middle Santonian. There is no ammonite evidence for the upper part of the Ilam Formation which dated as upper santonian-lower Campanian at the type section by Chahardah-Cherik, 2006.

description: Electromyography (EMG) signals that obtained by electrodes connected to the forearm are the monitoring of the muscles by the electrical method. These signals are quite useful during the use of prosthesis as a source signal to the moving prosthesis. Therefore, it is essential that classifying the EMG signals with high accuracy by analyzing. This study aims that classifying the individual and combined finger movements using surface EMG signals taken from the surface of the human forearm. EMG signals that belong to 10 different finger movements obtained from eight subjects were used. Firstly, EMG signals have been split into segments by the windowing process, and temporal feature vectors are formed by applying various feature extraction methods to these segments. Feature vectors have been classified with the ensemble bagged tree algorithm, which is a combination of classifiers, to obtain the correct classification decision. As a result of 10-fold cross-validation, with the proposed method, 96.6% overall classification accuracy was achieved. The results obtained show that the ensemble classifier can be used successfully in determining finger movements when compared with similar studies.

John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Outflows in Regions of Star Formation

description: The high spatial and spectral resolution offered by the new generation of infrared spectrometers at ESO is optimally suited for the observational study of outflows from young stellar objects. Models of interstellar shock waves would benefit from observations of spectrally resolved line profiles. This applies also to attempts of measuring the rotation rates of jets very close to their driving source, which in general suffer considerable extinction. Observations of forbidden lines of ionised iron, [Fe II], could be used to accomplish this. The possibility of using rotational lines of molecular hydrogen, H2, to study the temporal evolution of outflow and disk gas is discussed. Similarly, high resolution IR observations of fluorescent water lines, H2O, open up the possibility to access outflow and disk water.

description: Recent advances in deep learning and neural networks have led to an increased interest in the application of generative models in statistical and condensed matter physics. In particular, restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs) as specific classes of neural networks have been successfully applied in the context of physical feature extraction and representation learning. Despite these successes, however, there is only limited understanding of their representational properties and limitations. To better understand the representational characteristics of RBMs and VAEs, we study their ability to capture physical features of the Ising model at different temperatures. This approach allows us to quantitatively assess learned representations by comparing sample features with corresponding theoretical predictions. Our results suggest that the considered RBMs and convolutional VAEs are able to capture the temperature dependence of magnetization, energy, and spin-spin correlations. The samples generated by RBMs are more evenly distributed across temperature than those generated by VAEs. We also find that convolutional layers in VAEs are important to model spin correlations whereas RBMs achieve similar or even better performances without convolutional filters.

description: We investigate the minimal size of small superconducting grains by means of a Ginzburg-Landau model confined to a sphere of radius $R$. This model is supposed to describe a material in the form of a ball, whose transition temperature when presented in bulk form, $T_{0}$, is known. We obtain an equation for the critical temperature as a function of $R$ and of $T_{0}$, allowing us to arrive at the minimal radius of the sphere below which no superconducting transition exists.

Evaluation of ML OxipresTM apparatus to accurately assess the initiation of lipid oxidation in shelf-life studies
Creators: name: Mittal, Shiekha
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: The OxipresTM oxygen bomb is used extensively in shelf-life testing of food oils because it measures early action (oxygen consumption) in lipid oxidation and reports actions rapidly. However, apparent long induction periods have raised questions about the chemistry actually being measured by the Oxipres. To elucidate relationships between oxygen consumption and lipid oxidation products, commercial soybean oil was heated in an Oxipres oxygen bomb at 60, 80 and 100 °C under 5 bars of pure oxygen. Some cells followed oxygen consumption past the onset of active oxygen consumption, other cells were removed during the first six hours for analysis of conjugated dienes and hydroperoxides.Oxidation products began forming very soon after heating, supported by some dissolved oxygen already present in the oil. In contrast active onset of oxygen consumption(induction period, IP) was delayed for hours to days. The delay in reported oxygen consumption occurred because it required loss of oxygen from the headspace, and this was inhibited by three factors. The first limiting of oxygen migration from the headspace is low oxygen solubility in the oil. Active oxidation in the oil was necessary to consume enough of the dissolved oxygen to stimulate oxygen diffusion from the headspace into the oil. The second factor was very low diffusivity of oxygen between phases and within the high viscosity oil. The third factor was that thermal convection currents provided the only mixing and distribution of oxygen from the interface through the bulk oil. These factors together make oxygen diffusion the limiting factor in oxygen consumption detected by the Oxipres and contributed to the mismatch between early formation of lipid oxidation in the oil and late onset of oxygen consumption in the headspace.Increasing heating temperature shortened the induction period, increased the rate of conjugated diene and hydroperoxide formation, and improved the correspondence between oxygen consumption in the headspace and lipid oxidation in the oil. Thus, as a general guideline, 100 °C and 5 bars oxygen pressure are recommended starting conditions for accelerated shelf-life testing to compare ingredients and processes.

description: To develop a bleeding-pattern prediction model to inform counselling on amount and regularity of bleeding after levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) placement. Fixed-cluster and regression-tree models were developed using bleeding data pooled from two clinical trials of LNG-IUSs. Models were trained and cross-validated on LNG-IUS 12 data, then applied to LNG-IUS 20 and LNG-IUS 8 data. Three clusters were generated for the fixed-cluster model: predominantly amenorrhoea; predominantly spotting; and predominantly bleeding. A random-forest model predicted the future-bleeding cluster, then the probability of cycle regularity was calculated. In the regression-tree model, women were assigned by the model to less- or more-bleeding groups. With LNG-IUS 12 (n = 1351) in the fixed-cluster model, 70.4% of women were correctly classified. The correct classification rates for LNG-IUS 20 (n = 216) and LNG-IUS 8 (n = 1300) were 72.2% and 69.0%. The probability distribution for cycle regularity showed regular and irregular bleeding were best separated with LNG-IUS 12 data, and less well with LNG-IUS 20 and LNG-IUS 8 data. In the regression-tree model there was high variability in the more- and less-bleeding group distributions with LNG-IUS 12 data. A fixed-cluster model predicted bleeding patterns better than a regression-tree model in women using LNG-IUS, yielding understandable, informative output.

description: The Wnt/beta-catenin pathway is a complex signaling pathway known to be dysregulated in several cancers; Dickkopf-1 (Dkk1) is an inhibitor of canonical Wnt signaling via negative feedback. Elevated Dkk1 is associated with a poor prognosis in several cancers, including gynecologic and gastroesophageal malignancies. This review focuses on the potential therapeutic benefit of targeting Dkk1 with the IgG4 monoclonal antibody, DKN-01. We highlight current treatment approaches for advanced gynecologic and esophageal malignancies highlighting the need for more effective therapies, specifically improved immune-modulating agents and combinations. Our discussion of DKN-01 addresses the rationale for targeting Dkk1, available safety, pharmacokinetic and efficacy data. DKN-01 presents an interesting therapeutic consideration in advanced gynecologic and gastroesophageal malignancies. It has been especially promising in patients with high-Dkk1-expressing tumors or known Wnt mutations. We postulate that the complementary mechanisms, limited adverse effects and emerging biomarker data position DKN-01 as a promising agent for combination therapy in patients with advanced malignancies. Specifically, we believe this occurs through an immuno-modulatory effect, primarily acting through the innate arm of the immune system. This highlights the possibility for addressing innate immune resistance and expanding the portion of patients who may benefit, possibly in a biomarker-selected manner.
