description: Stem cells are capable of self-renewal (proliferation) and differentiation. Proliferation generates daughter cells with virtually the same properties as the parental cell, whereas differentiation produces specialized cell types used in tissue formation. Determining the regulatory mechanisms controlling stem cell proliferation and differentiation is not only an important biological question, but also holds the key for using stem cells as a therapeutic agent. The Caenorhabditis elegans germ line has emerged as an invaluable model to study the molecular genetic code dictating stem cell activity. In this thesis, kin-10, which encodes the β subunit of protein kinase CK2, has been identified as a novel factor regulating stem cell proliferation in the C. elegans germ line. In an effort to determine how kin-10 functions within the regulatory pathway, genetic analysis was performed with known regulatory components. A loss of kin-10 is able to enhance the over-proliferation phenotype of elevated GLP-1/Notch signaling, as well as result in a synthetic tumorous phenotype when the GLD-2 pathway is defective. Further, the synthetic tumorous phenotype appears to be epistatic to glp-1, indicating that kin-10 functions downstream of GLP-1/Notch signaling, likely in the GLD-1 pathway to inhibit proliferation and/or promote meiotic entry. Additional analysis also revealed that kin-10’s regulatory role in stem cell proliferation is likely carried out through the CK2 holoenzyme. I propose that a loss of kin-10 leads to a defect in CK2 phosphorylation of its yet-to-be identified downstream targets, resulting in abnormal activity of target protein(s) that are involved in the proliferative fate vs. differentiation decision. This eventually causes a shift towards the proliferative fate in stem cell fate decision.

description: This study investigated the generalizability of diagnostic performance and problem solving strategy within and across cases from two similar clinical presentations (CP). Many variables have been described in medical education literature that influences the generalizability of diagnostic performance. This doctoral research further examined the effect of intervening variables in diagnostic performance. The variables studied were: disease difficulty, case typicality, CP, and problem solving strategy. Participants of the study were sixth year medical students enrolled in four universities in Saudi Arabia. Two types of data were analyzed, diagnostic performance scores obtained from written clinical vignettes and problem solving strategies abstracted from written think aloud exercises. Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT) were two measurement frameworks used to analyze the data and triangulate study findings. Variable reduction strategies were used to examine the construct of performance scores in comparison to the CP schemes. Cross-tabulation and Chi-square were used to investigate the consistency in using problem solving strategies within and across cases from two similar CPs. Also, Multi-Facet Rasch Modelling (MFRM) was employed to determine degree of impact on diagnostic performance by the independent variables. This study answered three research questions related to diagnostic generalizability and intervening variables that contribute to diagnostic performance. Most of the diseases included in this study showed high correlation coefficients and high discriminating measures. The estimated measures from two different measurement theories supported predictability of performance from one case to another. This research provides evidence that the diagnostic strategy utilized can alter diagnostic performance. Further support was found for schema-based instruction in medical schools to enhance student diagnostic performance. The research model illuminates some factors that influence diagnostic performance. Disease difficulty and type of CP were two variables found to alter diagnostic performance. Further research is required to identify other variables. Finally, these study findings set the base for future research. Directions for further investigation include: examining performance and problem solving strategy generalizability within and across dissimilar CPs; studying the effect of case typicality on diagnostic performance using MFRM; and including a broader sample that would include participants from medical schools that have different curricular models.

description: Abstract – IT Neve di primavera è il primo romanzo della tetralogia Il mare della fertilità, il capolavoro dello scrittore giapponese, che si snoda in un Giappone caratterizzato sia da una cultura ancestrale sia da una invadente modernità e prelude a quel drammatico 25 novembre 1970 quando Mishima, scritte le ultime parole della tetralogia, si suicidò con l’antico rituale del seppuku. Neve di primavera è una narrazione polisemica costruita su opposizioni binarie strutturali, le vicende dei personaggi sono calate in un preciso contesto storico e culturale e per decodificarle è proposta una metodologia antropologica, nel tentativo, al tempo stesso, di coglierne le variegate e molteplici sfumature e, nel contempo, anche le interconnessioni con il tessuto ontologico che ne ha favorito il nascere e lo svilupparsi. Abstract – EN Spring snow is the first novel of the tetralogy The sea of Fertility, the masterpiece of the Japanese writer, which takes place in ancient and modern Japan. The novel is a prelude to the dramatic 25th November 1970: Mishima finished the tetralogy and committed suicide by the ancient seppuku ritual. Spring snow is a polisemic story which is constructed by binary and structural oppositions, the plot of the characters is drawn on a exact, historical and cultural context to catch either the variegated and various shadings or the relations with the ontological substratum, which helped its birth and development.

On the origin and composition of Galactic cosmic rays

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The composition of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) presents strong similarities to the standard (cosmic) composition, but also noticeable differences, the most important being the high isotopic ratio of Ne22/Ne20 which is about 5 times higher in GCR than in the Sun. This ratio provides key information on the GCR origin. We investigate the idea that GCR are accelerated by the forward shocks of supernova explosions, as they run through the presupernova winds of the massive stars and through the interstellar medium. We use detailed wind and core yields of rotating and non-rotating models of massive stars with mass loss, as well as simple models for the properties of the forward shock and of the circumstellar medium. We find that the observed GCR Ne22/Ne20 ratio can be explained if GCR are accelerated only during the early Sedov phase, for shock velocities >1500-1900 km/s. The acceleration efficiency is found to be of the order of 1.e-6 - 1.e-5, i.e. a few particles out of a million encountered by the shock escape the SN at GCR energies. We also show quantitatively that the widely publicized idea that GCR are accelerated in superbubbles fails to account for the high Ne22/Ne20 ratio in GCR

description: Der vorliegende Aufsatz diskutiert die jüngsten Entwicklungen in der Forschung zu Grenzflächenphänomenen fluorierter Amphiphile und konzentriert sich auf Anwendungen, die die einzigartigen und vielfältigen Grenzflächeneigenschaften dieser Amphiphile ausnutzen. Vor allem bilden fluorierte Amphiphile stabile Aggregate mit oft deutlich anderer Morphologie als ihre nicht fluorierten Analoga. Folglich finden fluorierte Tenside vielfältigen Einsatz in Hochleistungsanwendungen wie dem Mikrofluidik-unterstützten Screening. Darüber hinaus wird ihr fluorspezifisches Verhalten an der Fest/Flüssig-Grenzfläche thematisiert, wie zum Beispiel die Bildung superhydrophober Beschichtungen nach der Abscheidung auf Oberflächen. Da fluorierte Tenside und perfluorierte Materialien im Allgemeinen potenzielle Umweltbedrohungen darstellen, werden auch die jüngsten Entwicklungen der Schadstoffsanierung durch ihre Adsorption an fluorierte Oberflächen bewertet.

description: The first bis(amidophenolato)phosphonium salts are prepared and fully characterized. The perfluorinated derivative represents the strongest monocationic phosphorus Lewis acid on the fluoride and hydride ion affinity scale isolable to date. This affinity enables new reactions, such as hydride abstraction from Et3SiH, the first phosphaalkoxylation of an alkyne or a phosphorus catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation. All properties and reactions are scrutinized by theory and experiment. Substantial σ‐ and π‐acidity provides the required affinity for substrate activation, while phosphorus‐ligand cooperativity substantially enriches the reactivity portfolio of phosphonium ions.

Participants completed a number of personality questionnaires (IPIP-R sub-scale for risk-taking, sensation seeking scale and driver confidence questionnaire) and experienced a number of driving events in the University of Calgary Driving Simulator (UCDS). Driving behaviour was analyzed with a repeated measures ANOVA and a step-wise logistic regression to determine whether video game experience was related or could predict driving behaviour.

Coping with the high instantaneous and integrated luminosity will require many changes to the ATLAS detector. The designs are developing rapidly for an all-new inner-tracker, significant changes in the calorimeter and muon systems, as well as improved triggers. This article summarizes the environment expected at the HL-LHC and the status of various improvements to the ATLAS detector.

description: Strongly-coupled gauge theories are an important ingredient in the construction of many extensions of the standard model, particularly for models of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the Higgs boson is a composite object. There is a large parameter space of such gauge theories with a rich phase structure, particularly in the presence of large numbers of fermionic degrees of freedom. Lattice simulation provides a non-perturbative way to explore this space of strongly-coupled theories, and to search for interesting dynamical features. Here I review recent progress in the simulation of such theories, with an eye towards applications to dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking.

Mapping the Social Participation of South Asians and Mainstream/Dominant Canadians: A Comparative Study
Creators: name: Ranu, Koyel
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Ethnic and Racial Studies
subject: social capital

description: This research studies how actively South Asian immigrants in Canada are engaged in the social participation process and their underlying motivations. Social participation of South Asians in Canada is compared with Canadians of British lineage and East Indians in their homeland (India), and reasons behind any differences in levels of social participation are examined. In this endeavour, the circular relationship between social participation and social capital is investigated and the formulations of the concepts are problematized and critiqued. To ensure that concepts and indicators are contextually examined instead of being applied universally, both quantitative (inferential statistics) and qualitative methods (interviewing, narrative analysis, and critical discourse analysis of interview transcripts) are used in the research. General Social Survey, cycle 17, is used in the quantitative analysis. Results from qualitative interviews demonstrate that the initial settlement process of South Asian immigrants deeply impacts their social participation process in Canada. The settlement process is found to be influenced by gender, household income, educational background, continuing perspectives of life as developed in their country of origin, general cognitive discourse on the western way of life, and the exercise of an active choice of living in co-ethnic neighbourhoods. Receptivity by social groups and networks and perception of immigrants by mainstream/dominant ethnic groups is also seen to influence a sense of belonging, development of the “Canadian identity”, subsequent settlement, and social participation processes in Canada. Quantitative analysis indicates that ethnic background, interaction in networks of similar income, same sex networks, and networks speaking the same mother tongue negatively impact social participation processes, while sense of social obligation and helping others positively influence social participation. For Indians in their homeland, traditional cultural practices and collective and normative expectations influence the motivations behind social participation, but signs of change such as more individualistic lifestyle choices were also apparent.

description: Visible‐light photocatalysis provides numerous useful methodologies for synthetic organic chemistry. However, the mechanisms of these reactions are often not fully understood. Common mechanistic experiments mainly aim to characterize excited state properties of photocatalysts and their interaction with other species. Recently, in situ reaction monitoring using dedicated techniques was shown to be well‐suited for the identification of intermediates and to obtain kinetic insights, thereby providing more holistic pictures of the reactions of interest. This minireview surveys these technologies and discusses selected examples where reaction monitoring was used to elucidate the mechanism of photocatalytic reactions.
Evidences for a quasi 60-year North Atlantic Oscillation since 1700 and its meaning for global climate change

description: The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) obtained using instrumental and documentary proxy predictors from Eurasia is found to be characterized by a quasi 60-year dominant oscillation since 1650. This pattern emerges clearly once the NAO record is time integrated to stress its comparison with the temperature record. The integrated NAO (INAO) is found to well correlate with the length of the day (since 1650) and the global surface sea temperature record HadSST2 and HadSST3 (since 1850). These findings suggest that INAO can be used as a good proxy for global climate change, and that a 60-year cycle exists in the global climate since at least 1700. Finally, the INAO ~60-year oscillation well correlates with the ~60- year oscillations found in the historical European aurora record since 1700, which suggests that this 60-year dominant climatic cycle has a solar-astronomical origin.

description: In 1989 an armed insurgency against India began in Kashmir, followed by the heavy militarisation of the region by the Indian state. While the Kashmir conflict can be traced to the 19th century Dogra regime, this thesis has focused on the particular period from 1989 to 2018, centring the people in the valley, that are the worst affected by this protracted conflict, and their perspectives. Using post-colonial and critical feminist theory within the broader methodology of constructivism, I explore this relational engagement between the Indian state and the people of Kashmir, by focusing on processes and representational practices to understand the Kashmir dispute. In doing so, I move away from the dominant discourse on the Kashmir conflict as an inter-state dispute and focus instead on the intra-state aspects of the dispute. Using ethnographic data comprising interviews of Kashmiri civil society members, academics, former militants, journalists, and survivors of state violence, alongside resistance artworks, citizens’ and newspaper reports, my research has three major findings: 1) The processes of engagement between social groups are the key sites of collective identity formation. The Indian state’s dominant process of engagement with the people in Kashmir since 1989 has been through militarisation, to the extent that even non-militaristic institutions and processes like the judiciary, peace dialogues, and elections are subordinated to this militaristic approach. 2) Key to sustaining the militarisation of Kashmir is militarism pervading Indian society through nationalistic discourses that are rooted in deified and demonised representations of Kashmir land and Kashmiri people respectively. 3) Despite pervasive state control and surveillance, Kashmiris have broken through state dominance, particularly through creative ways of resistance that include mass protests, writings and artistic works. Voiced directly by the people, these counter-memories and counter-narratives centre the political dimension of the Kashmir conflict and perceive the people of Kashmir as the principal party to the dispute. Overall, my novel approach provides a fresh and innovative perspective to the Kashmir dispute, that brings the civilian narrative to the forefront while analysing the conflict.
Urban biotic homogenization: Approaches and knowledge gaps

description: Abstract Urbanization is restructuring ecosystems at an unprecedented pace, with complex and profound consequences for life on Earth. One of the hypothesized trajectories of urban ecosystems and species communities is biotic homogenization, possibly leading to very similar species assemblages in cities across the globe. Urbanization can, however, also have the opposite effect: biotic diversification, with cities, at least at the local scale, becoming biologically more diverse, mainly as a consequence of high species introduction rates and habitat diversification. Applying the hierarchy‐of‐hypotheses approach, we systematically map and structure the comprehensive body of literature on the urban biotic homogenization (UBH) hypothesis, comprising 225 individual studies (i.e., tests of the hypothesis) retrieved from 145 publications. The UBH hypothesis is studied at multiple levels with a multitude of approaches and underlying assumptions. We show that UBH is generally used with two very different connotations: about half of the studies investigated a potential increase in community similarity across cities, whereas the other half investigated biotic homogenization within cities, the latter being supported more frequently. We also found strong research biases: (1) a taxonomic bias towards birds and plants, (2) a bias towards small and medium distances (<5000 km) in comparisons across cities, (3) a dominance of studies substituting space for time versus true temporal studies, (4) a strong focus on terrestrial versus aquatic systems, (5) more extraurban (including periurban) areas than natural or rural ecosystems for comparison to urban systems, (6) a bias towards taxonomic versus functional, phylogenetic, and temporal homogenization, and (7) more studies undertaken in Europe and North America than in other continents. The overall level of empirical support for the UBH hypothesis was mixed, with 55% of the studies reporting supporting evidence. Results significantly differed when a natural/nature reserve, an extraurban, or rural/agricultural area served as reference to infer biotic homogenization, with homogenization being detected least frequently when urban systems were compared to agricultural, i.e., other anthropogenically influenced, study sites. We provide an evidence map and a bibliographic network and identify key references on UBH with the goal to enhance accessibility and orientation for future research on this topic.
Accent versus impairment in bilingual children : assessing bilingual children in English
Creators: name: Hack, Jamie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Standard Speech Language Pathology (SLP) practice mandates accent not interfere with the assessment of bilingual children (Crago & Westernoff, 1997). However, in practice SLPs only have access to assessments that do not account for accent, potentially resulting in an over-referral of bilingual children. The current study compared the standard scores and phonological errors of 29 bilingual Cantonese or Mandarin English language learners (ages between 5;6 and 9;8 years) with 25 monolingual English children (ages between 6;8 and 9;4 years). Perceptual ratings of accent and proficiency by 10 SLPs of the children’s speech were compared with standard scores on the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation second edition (Goldman & Fristoe, 2002). The results of the tests revealed that bilingual children with an accent had significantly lower standard scores than monolingual children, but not in the impaired range. The SLPs reliably agreed on the level of accent and proficiency, but only accent correlated significantly with the standard score for bilingual children. Furthermore, a description of the phonology of the bilingual children showed patterns consistent with a speech impairment according to English typical developmental norms (Grunwell, 1981). These findings add quantitative and qualitative data to existing protocols, and discourage the assessment of bilingual children with tests standardized on first-language English-speaking children. Furthermore, the results suggest perceptual judgment is complementary to an SLP’s assessment of bilingual children.

description: We construct both normal and anomalous deterministic biased diffusions to obtain the Einstein relation for their time-averaged transport coefficients. We find that the difference of the generalized Lyapunov exponent between biased and unbiased deterministic diffusions is related to the normalized velocity based on the ensemble average. By Hopf's ergodic theorem, the ratios between the time-averaged velocity and the Lyapunov exponent for single trajectories converge to a universal constant, which is proportional to the strength of the bias. We confirm this theory using numerical simulations.

Abstract – EN This article is based on the results of a field research conducted in the countries of the Grecìa Salentina, an area of Salento, where there is a particular execution method of the folksong known as I Passiuna tu Christù (The Passion of the Christ). Around the mid-90s of the 20th century the tradition of this folksong has been the subject of a careful recovery, based on memory and availability of some older singers, who brought it back to life after years of silence. The study then focused on the Zollino’s execution, one of the grecanico-salentino’s common, in which works the cultural association "Bottega del Teatro", the first promoter of this recovery. The old singer Antimo Pellegrino is the player and interpreter of the Zollino’s refined version, whose voice becomes theater through a wise use of body made of stylized gestures, regulated by codes that allow you to understand the performative becoming, in the grìco text, also who does not intend this language.

description: The current study investigated the relationship between anxiety and social skills in high intelligent (HI) children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) aged 8 to 11 years old. Fifteen HI children with ADHD (twice-exceptional) were matched one-to-one on age to children with HI (FSIQ ≥ 120), those with ADHD-C (average intelligence), and typically-developing children. Overall, results indicated no significant differences between self-reported anxiety and social skills; however, ADHD parent-reports of anxiety were significantly higher than typical parent-reports of anxiety. Twice-exceptional self-reports and HI self-reports were significantly lower than their parent’s reports of anxiety. For social skill abilities, twice-exceptional self-reports were significantly higher than their parents’ reports. It was also determined that anxiety was a significant predictor of twice-exceptional children’s social skills. Results of this study suggest that additional research should focus on HI as a possible risk factor for the development of anxiety and poor social skills in children with ADHD.

description: Black microcolonial fungi (Ascomycetes from Arthonio-, Dothideo-, and Eurotiomycetes) are stress-tolerant and persistent dwellers of natural and anthropogenic extreme habitats. They exhibit slow yeast-like or meristematic growth, do not form specialized reproduction structures and accumulate the black pigment 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) melanin in the multilayered cell walls. To understand how black fungi live, survive, colonize mineral substrates, and interact with phototrophs genetic methods are needed to test these functions and interactions. We chose the rock inhabitant Knufia petricola of the Chaetothyriales as a model for developing methods for genetic manipulation. Here, we report on the expansion of the genetic toolkit by more efficient multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 using a plasmid-based system for expression of Cas9 and multiple sgRNAs and the implementation of the three resistance selection markers genR (geneticin/nptII), baR (glufosinate/bar), and suR (chlorimuron ethyl/sur). The targeted integration of expression constructs by replacement of essential genes for pigment synthesis allows for an additional color screening of the transformants. The black-pink screening due to the elimination of pks1 (melanin) was applied for promoter studies using GFP fluorescence as reporter. The black-white screening due to the concurrent elimination of pks1 and phs1 (carotenoids) allows to identify transformants that contain the two expression constructs for co-localization or bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) studies. The co-localization and interaction of the two K. petricola White Collar orthologs were demonstrated. Two intergenic regions (igr1, igr2) were identified in which expression constructs can be inserted without causing obvious phenotypes. Plasmids of the pNXR-XXX series and new compatible entry plasmids were used for fast and easy generation of expression constructs and are suitable for a broad implementation in other fungi. This variety of genetic tools is opening a completely new perspective for mechanistic and very detailed study of expression, functioning and regulation of the genes/proteins encoded by the genomes of black fungi.

Flammability Limits of Diesel Fuels at Elevated Temperatures and Pressures

description: Flammability limits of the fuels are defined as leanest or richest fuel concentration in fuel/air mixtures which will lead to flame propagation when external energy for ignition is introduced. The flammability limits depend on a number of parameters such as temperature, pressure, impurities, and moisture. Although there is a great deal of work has been done on the flammability limits of a variety of combustible gases and liquids in air, there appears to be lack of information on the flammability limits of diesel in air at elevated temperatures and moderate pressures. Accordingly, a study was undertaken to investigate the flammability limits of the two diesel samples (commercial Diesel from “Esso” and “Shell”) at elevated temperatures and pressures using a specially designed apparatus. The test operating parameter matrix includes: four different temperatures and three pressures. Initially, the physical and chemical properties of the two diesel samples, including heating value, molecular mass, densities and simulated distillation characteristics were established. The results show that heating value of the Shell diesel sample was higher than the Esso one. On the other hand, the density and molecular mass of the Esso diesel sample were higher than the Shell one, which indicates the Esso diesel sample contained more heavier components and was less volatile compared to the Shell one. The simulated distillation also confirmed this conclusion. Based on the experimental results, in general, the Esso diesel sample exhibited a wider flammability range than the Shell one. However, the Shell diesel sample was easier to ignite than the Esso one. In addition, the effect of pressure on the flammability of the Esso sample was more profound compared to the Shell one. The results for the diesel samples were compared with those for a pure saturated hydrocarbon, n-Tridecane in air at the same operating conditions.

description: We present BVRIJHK band photometry of 6 core-collapse supernovae, SNe 1999bw, 2002hh, 2003gd, 2004et, 2005cs, and 2006bc measured at late epochs (>2 yrs) based on Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Gemini north, and WIYN telescopes. We also show the JHK lightcurves of a supernova impostor SN 2008S up to day 575. Of our 43 HST observations in total, 36 observations are successful in detecting the light from the SNe alone and measuring magnitudes of all the targets. HST observations show a resolved scattered light echo around SN 2003gd at day 1520 and around SN 2002hh at day 1717. Our Gemini and WIYN observations detected SNe 2002hh and 2004et, as well. Combining our data with previously published data, we show VRIJHK-band lightcurves and estimate decline magnitude rates at each band in 4 different phases. Our prior work on these lightcurves and other data indicate that dust is forming in our targets from day ~300-400, supporting SN dust formation theory. In this paper we focus on other physical properties derived from the late time light curves. We estimate 56Ni masses for our targets (0.5-14 x 10^{-2} Msun) from the bolometric lightcurve of each for days ~150-300 using SN 1987A as a standard (7.5 x 10^{-2} Msun). The flattening or sometimes increasing fluxes in the late time light curves of SNe 2002hh, 2003gd, 2004et and 2006bc indicate the presence of light echos. We estimate the circumstellar hydrogen density of the material causing the light echo and find that SN 2002hh is surrounded by relatively dense materials (n(H) >400 cm^{-3}) and SNe 2003gd and 2004et have densities more typical of the interstellar medium (~1 cm^{-3}). The 56Ni mass appears well correlated with progenitor mass with a slope of 0.31 x 10^{-2}, supporting the previous work by Maeda et al. (2010), who focus on more massive Type II SNe. The dust mass does not appear to be correlated with progenitor mass.

Instructional Leadership in Alberta Public Charter Schools: An exploration into the perceived effects of instructional leadership practice on student success.

description: Abstract This study examines instructional leadership within public charter schools in Alberta, Canada. The research questions addressed by this study are: 1. How do Alberta public charter school principals perceive that their instructional leadership practice impacts student success? 2. To what extent is it necessary that the approach to leadership align with the approach to student learning in the school? Ten public charter school principals participated in the study. Each participant was interviewed twice within an eight-week period to determine their perceptions of the impact they have on student success in their roles as instructional leaders. Central to this research is the notion that instructional leaders exert significant influence on the culture and sense of community of a school and therefore play an important role in determining the degree to which students are successful within the school environment. An important conclusion emerging from this study confirms earlier research findings that the greatest positive effect on student success is derived through principals’ support and facilitation of meaningful, authentic, and timely professional learning for teachers in order that they may in turn improve their teaching practice and foster student success as a result. Keywords: instructional leadership, innovation, public charter school, student engagement, inquiry, collaboration, transformation, relational trust, student success.

description: We present a dipole-charged generalisation of the Pomeransky-Sen'kov black ring in five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory. It rotates in two independent directions, although one of the rotations has been tuned to achieve balance, so that the space-time does not contain any conical singularities. This solution was constructed using the inverse-scattering method in six-dimensional vacuum gravity. We then study various physical properties of this solution, with particular emphasis on the new features that the dipole charge introduces.

description: Loop Quantum Gravity is now a well established approach to quantum gravity. One of the main challenges still faced by the theory is constructing a consistent dynamics which would lead back to the standard dynamics of the gravitational field at large scales. Here we will review the recent U(N) framework for Loop Quantum Gravity and the new spinor representation (that provides a classical setting for the U(N) framework). Then, we will apply these techniques to a simple model in order to propose a dynamics for a symmetry reduced sector of the theory. Furthermore, we will explore certain analogies of this model with Loop Quantum Cosmology.

description: Small animals living in soils, called soil invertebrates, represent a very diverse group of soil inhabitants. They include earthworms, woodlice, spiders, springtails, mites, and some insects. Soil invertebrates feed on dead plants, on fungi and bacteria, or on other soil invertebrates. The many ways soil invertebrates interact with each other, and the large number of different species, make life in soils complex and difficult to understand. Unfortunately, soil invertebrates have been dealing with soil pollution, including contamination with tiny particles of plastic called microplastics for decades now. But are microplastics harmful to these organisms? Can microplastics be passed between soil invertebrates when one feeds on another? Most questions about microplastics and soil invertebrates have been investigated using earthworms, but a few studies on others, like springtails, mites, and nematodes, also exist. In this article, we summarize the effects of microplastics on soil invertebrates.
