Chrysis smaragdula

description: Chrysis smaragdula species-group
DIAGNOSIS. — Species of the smaragdula group sensu Kimsey & Bohart (1991) are recognised by the combination of following characters: first flagellomere l/w = 1-3 (male), 2-3.5 (female, most often 2.5 or more); face densely punctate, striato-punctate medially, yet not microridged; transverse frontal carina well visible, normally M-like or inverted U-like, with or without posterior branches; anterior ocellus lidded; malar space long (1 MOD) to very long (2-3 MOD); pronotum shorter than scutellum, rarely carinate laterally, and humeral angle not acute; mesopleuron dentate in some species; metanotum sometimes slightly produced; apical margin of third tergum with six teeth or angles, rarely seven for a small median denticle; black spots on second sternum transverse, fused or nearly so, rarely small or medium. Body colour with various shades of green, blue, and bluish purple (in C. jousseaumei all reddish purple).
HOSTS. — Eumenine hosts are known for several species (Kimsey & Bohart 1991).
REMARKS
The smaragdula group is the most speciose after the ignita group and has a worldwide distribution. This group is anyway heterogeneous in the definition given by Kimsey & Bohart (1991). Linsenmaier (1959, 1994, 1999) split it in several groups, e.g. diehli group, fasciata group, sexdentata group, and the decemdentata group, which was recently confirmed as a distinct group by Rosa & Halada (2021). According to Linsenmaier’s (1994) classification, the Arabian species should be included as follows: C. jousseaumei in the sexdentata group, with the ancillary vein originating from the Radial sector; C. diehli in the diehli group, which is characterized by specimens with sexdendata habitus and first flagellomere shorter than the second in both male and female.

Phosphorylation of tau at Specific Sites Regulates Axonal Transport and Neurite Outgrowth

description: Despite the importance of fast axonal transport (FAT) for neuron development and maintenance, mechanisms for physiological regulation of FAT and cargo delivery at the correct location remain an unresolved issue. Achieving the high specificity of cargo delivery necessary for correct neuronal function is likely to involve many intersecting and counteracting mechanisms. Tau is a neuronal microtubule-associated protein which aggregates in Alzheimer’s disease and other tauopathies. Tau is often described as a microtubule-stabilizing protein, but multiple lines of evidence suggest that this is not its primary function. In evaluating tau function, studies in isolated squid axoplasm found that aggregates of tau, or truncated tau monomers that expose the N-terminal, selectively inhibit anterograde fast axonal transport (FAT) through a mechanism dependent on amino acids 2-18 which comprise a phosphatase activating domain (PAD). When exposed, this domain activates a PP1/GSK3β signaling cascade causing release of vesicles from kinesin motor protein. While tau has a dynamic secondary structure, unphosphorylated monomers adopt a “paperclip” conformation concealing the N-terminal, but tau is subject to post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation that can stabilize more extended structures. Here we provide the first evidence that defined phosphorylation of tau at specific residues is sufficient to activate one of two distinct signaling pathways. Pseudophosphorylation at Thr205 caused exposure of the PAD and activation of the previously identified PP1/GSK3β signaling cascade, resulting in inhibition of anterograde FAT. Pseudophosphorylation at Ser199, as well as select dual phosphorylation epitopes, caused inhibition of anterograde and retrograde FAT through activation of pJNK. Using primary hippocampal neurons, we showed that the N-terminal tau PAD is exposed during development, co-localized with pT205 tau and active GSK3β at sites of cargo delivery. Moreover presence of the PAD and T205 phosphorylation were essential for normal outgrowth of hippocampal neurons. These results indicate that tau can act as a scaffolding protein for signaling pathways in the axon. This function is regulated by phosphorylation of defined residues, leading to downstream regulation of FAT. Furthermore, physiological regulation of tau phosphorylation and PAD exposure are important for neuronal development.

description: This article focuses on the simulation of soil-structure interaction during a sinkhole development by the use of a coupling numerical modelling approach. The 2D model uses a Finite Difference computer code associated with a Distinct Elements code to optimize the performances of both softwares. This allows an important decrease of computation time and the results computed are close of the experimental observations made before.
The effects of arousal induced by physical exertion upon mental performance

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical exertion and mental performance and then to interpret this information in terms of arousal theories. More specifically, this study has attempted to determine the effect that physical exertion has upon mental performance and to determine what, if any, is the nature of this relationship between physical exertion and mental performance. Varying degrees of physical exertion were induced, by bicycle ergometer riding at a rate of fifty revolutions per minute with a resistance of four kilograms. Treatment conditions of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 minutes of riding were randomly assigned to each of five consecutive days. On completion of each daily exercise bout the subject performed a task designed to measure mental performance. This task required the subject to listen to a list of random numbers, prerecorded at one second intervals, with the objective of detecting a sequence of digits which occurred in the order "odd number - even number - odd number", and to respond by saying "yes" before the next digit was presented. The test consisted of 150 digits and the score was the number of series correctly identified out of a maximum of twenty-eight. Twenty male students residing in campus dormitories volunteered as subjects. The results, although not significant in terms of the effect of the physical exertion conditions, did tend to indicate that physical exertion had a positive effect upon mental performance. Further investigation of the results led to the conclusion that the effect of physical exertion upon mental performance cannot always be described by a simple inverted U relationship.

description: We study axially symmetric codimension-2 cosmology for a distributional braneworld fueled by a localised 4D perfect fluid, in a 6D Lovelock theory. We argue that only the matching conditions (dubbed topological) where the extrinsic curvature on the brane has no jump describe a pure codimension-2 brane. If there is discontinuity in the extrinsic curvature on the brane, this induces inevitably codimension-1 distributional terms. We study these topological matching conditions, together with constraints from the bulk equations evaluated at the brane position, for two cases of regularisation of the codimension-2 defect. First, for an arbitrary smooth regularisation of the defect and second for a ring regularisation which has a cusp in the angular part of the metric. For a cosmological ansatz, we see that in the first case the coupled system is not closed and requires input from the bulk equations away from the brane. The relevant bulk function, which is a time-dependent angular deficit, describes the energy exchange between the brane and the 6D bulk. On the other hand, for the ring regularisation case, the system is closed and there is no leakage of energy in the bulk. We demonstrate that the full set of matching conditions and field equations evaluated at the brane position are consistent, correcting some previous claim in the literature which used rather restrictive assumptions for the form of geometrical quantities close to the codimension-2 brane. We analyse the modified Friedmann equation and we see that there are certain corrections coming from the non-zero extrinsic curvature on the brane. We establish the presence of geometric self-acceleration and a possible curvature domination wedged in between the period of matter and self-acceleration eras as signatures of codimension-2 cosmology.

description: This paper studies the economic and political effects of a large trade shock in agriculture – the grain invasion from the Americas – in Prussia during the first globalization (1871-1913). We show that this shock accelerated the structural change in the Prussian economy through migration of workers to booming cities. In contrast to studies using today’s data, we do not observe declining per capita income and political polarization in counties affected by foreign competition. Our results suggest that the negative and persistent effects of trade shocks we see today are not a universal feature of globalization, but depend on labor mobility. For our analysis, we digitize data from Prussian industrial and agricultural censuses on the county level and combine it with national trade data at the product level. We exploit the cross-regional variation in cultivated crops within Prussia and instrument with Italian trade data to isolate exogenous variation.

description: Multi-element conversion coatings are being actively investigated as an alternative to chromate-based conversion coatings, which cause long-term environmental hazards. Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (APP) can be used for the deposition of such coatings as a new, nonchemical, stand-alone technique for effluent free surface modification and coating process. The case of ZrO2-SiO2 composite coatings for aluminum alloys was discussed in this dissertation. Often process variations can result in microstructural variations that are difficult to correlate with measured corrosion protection and mechanical performance. Multiscale/multiphysics models were developed in conjunction with artificial intelligence techniques to correlate processing, microstructure, properties, and performance of APP-based fabricated coatings. The accomplished objectives of this dissertation were to: 1) establish a fully coupled atmospheric plasma model for the cleaning of organic compound residues (contaminants) to determine the removal rate of contaminant species during surface cleaning operation, 2) establish a multiphysics link between the processing parameters, plasma chemistry, surface – plasma reactions, and growth of functional layers to understand the growth of solid oxide films (e.g., SiO2 and ZrO2) on aluminum alloys, 3) apply machine learning techniques to analyze the effects of different geometrical and operational parameters, including microwave power, oxygen radical and hydroxyl concentrations, torch-substrate distance, tilt angle, gas flow rates, and plasma temperature, on the hydrocarbon degradation rates and the growth of oxide layer on the substrate during the cleaning and coating deposition processes, respectively, 4) establish a multiscale modeling framework that integrated deep learning techniques with microstructural-based finite element method to predict effective elastic properties, mechanical behavior and failure of the ZrO2-SiO2-Al 6061composites, and 5) establish a multiscale model using density functional theory (DFT) and multiphysics modules to predict the growth rate of galvanic pitting and to understand the localized corrosion dynamics using full interfacial electro-chemical kinetics.

description: The classical alpha-disc model assumes that the turbulent stress scales linearly with -- and responds instantaneously to -- the pressure. It is likely, however, that the stress possesses a non-negligible relaxation time and will lag behind the pressure on some timescale. To measure the size of this lag we carry out unstratified 3D magnetohydrodynamic shearing box simulations with zero-net-magnetic-flux using the finite-volume code PLUTO. We impose thermal oscillations of varying periods via a cooling term, which in turn drives oscillations in the turbulent stress. Our simulations reveal that the stress oscillations lag behind the pressure by $\sim 5$ orbits in cases where the oscillation period is several tens of orbits or more. We discuss the implication of our results for thermal and viscous overstability in discs around compact objects.

description: Hypothesis and Objective: The purpose was to determine whether cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2-NP, 3-4 nm) in solution were effective in inhibiting the formation of a sucrose-dependent biofilm of Streptococcus mutans on hydroxyapatite (HA) discs in the presence of saliva. Methods: A CeO2-NP (5 mM (Ce)) stock solution prepared from Ce(IV) salt hydrolysis was prepared and stored at 22 degrees Celsius before use. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) against S. mutans were determined using chemically defined medium (CDM) anaerobically for 24 hours (MIC) or 48 hours (MBIC). Pooled saliva was collected from six pediatric patients aged six to seven by chewing gum base. S. mutans was then grown anaerobically for 48 hours on saliva coated HA discs in the presence of 400uM CeO2-NP and compared against controls. Planktonic bacteria were discarded, while the adherent biofilm was ultrasonically removed and treated with a five-fold serial dilution before regrowth on agar plates. Colony-forming units were then recorded. Data was analyzed using an independent-samples t-test. Results: MIC was determined to be 250uM and MBIC was 1mM against S. mutans. Compared to the control, HA discs coated with human saliva in the presence of 400uM CeO2-NP have demonstrated a 95% biofilm inhibition (P

description: Fossils are essential to infer past evolutionary processes. The assignment of fossils to extant clades has traditionally relied on morphological similarity and on apomorphies shared with extant taxa. The use of explicit phylogenetic analyses to establish fossil affinities has so far remained limited. In this study, we built a comprehensive framework to investigate the phylogenetic placement of 24 exceptionally preserved fossil flowers. For this, we assembled a new species-level dataset of 30 floral traits for 1,201 extant species that were sampled to capture the stem and crown nodes of all angiosperm families. We explored multiple analytical approaches to integrate the fossils into the phylogeny, including different phylogenetic estimation methods, topological-constrained analyses, and combining molecular and morphological data of extant and fossil species. Our results were widely consistent across approaches and showed minor differences in the support of fossils at different phylogenetic positions. The placement of some fossils agrees with previously suggested relationships, but for others, a new placement is indicated. We also identified fossils that are well supported within particular extant families, whereas others showed high phylogenetic uncertainty. Finally, we present recommendations for future analyses combining molecular and morphological evidence, regarding the selection of fossils and appropriate methodologies, and provide some perspectives on how to integrate fossils into the investigation of divergence times and the temporal evolution of morphological traits.

description: We have studied chalcocite (Cu₂S) layers prepared by physical vapor deposition with varying deposition parameters by calibrated spectral photoluminescence (PL) and by confocal PL with lateral resolution of Δ x≈0.9 μm. Calibrated PL experiments as a function of temperature T and excitation fluxes were performed to obtain the absolute PL-yield and to calculate the splitting of the quasi-Fermi levels (QFLs) μ=Ef,n−Ef,p at an excitation flux equivalent to the AM 1.5 spectrum and the absorption coefficient α(ℏω), both in the temperature range of 20 K≤T≤400 K. The PL-spectra reveal two peaks at E#1=1.17 eV and E#2=1.3 eV. The samples show a QFL-splitting of μ>700 meV associated with a pseudo band gap of Eg=1.25 eV. The high-energy peak shows an unexpected temperature behavior, namely, an increase of PL-yield with rising temperature at variance with the behavior of QFL-splitting that decreases with rising T.
title: Fairness and Competition in a Bilateral Matching Market

Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Year: 2021

description: This paper analyzes fairness and bargaining in a dynamic bilateral matching market. Traders from both sides of the market are pairwise matched to share the gains from trade. The bargaining outcome depends on the traders’ fairness attitudes. In equilibrium fairness matters because of market frictions. But, when these frictions become negligible, the equilibrium approaches the Walrasian competitive equilibrium, independently of the traders’ inequity aversion. Fairness may yield a Pareto improvement; but also the contrary is possible. Overall, the market implications of fairness are very different from its effects in isolated bilateral bargaining.
The relationship between high density living and fitness performance of elementary school age children

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The purpose of this study was to compare the motor performance and physical fitness of children living in a high density area to that of children living in a low density area. It was hypothesized that children from the Vancouver West End score lower than children from Vancouver and children from Canada on the Canadian Association of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (CAHPER) Fitness Performance Test; that children from apartment floors four to twenty score lower than children living below the fourth floor on the CAHPER Fitness Performance test and the Crawford and Virgin tests; and that there is no difference between the motor performance scores of the children from the West End and the motor performance scores of the children from North York. The elementary school population of the Vancouver West End district was selected to be tested on motor performance and physical fitness test items. The CAHPER Fitness Performance Test and a battery of tests previously used by Crawford and Virgin in North York Ontario were used in the testing. The scores recorded were then compared to the Vancouver CAHPER norms, the Canadian CAHPER norms and the test scores recorded by Crawford and Virgin in their North York study. The findings indicated that West End elementary school age children score lower than Vancouver elementary school age children on the CAHPER Fitness Performance test; that the children living in the West End fall behind their peers in Vancouver in leg power and speed between the ages of seven and twelve; that the girls from the West End do not develop in their agility and cardiovascular endurance at a normal rate; that there was no difference between the scores of the children living on floors one to three and the scores achieved by children living on floors four to twenty; that no difference was found in the motor performance scores of children living in the West End and the scores of the children from North York; that the Fitness Performance scores improve as a child grows older at least to the age of twelve; and that males score higher than females on the CAHPER Fitness Performance test at the same age level.

description: Under electrical bias, mixed ionic conductors such as SrTiO₃ are characterized by oxygen vacancy migration which leads to resistance degradation. The defect chemistry to describe the relationship between conductivity and oxygen vacancies is usually obtained by high temperature conductivity data or quenching experiments. These techniques can investigate the equilibrated state only. Here, we introduce a new approach using in-situ impedance studies with applied dc voltage to analyze the temperature dependent electrical properties of degraded SrTiO₃ single crystals. This procedure is most beneficial since it includes electric field driven effects. The benefits of the approach are highlighted by comparing acceptor doped and undoped SrTiO₃. This approach allows the determination of the temperature activation of both anodic and cathodic conductivity of Fe-doped SrTiO₃ in the degraded state. The anodic activation energy matches well with the published results, while the activation energy of the degraded cathode region reported here is not in agreement with earlier assumptions. The specific discrepancies of the experimental data and the published defect chemistry are discussed, and a defect chemistry model that includes the strong temperature dependence of the electron conductivity in the cathode region is proposed.

description: There exist consistent low energy effective field theories describing gravity in the Higgs phase that allow the coexistence of massive gravitons and the conventional 1/r potential of gravity. In an effort to constrain the value of the graviton mass in these theories, we study the tensor contribution to the CMB temperature anisotropy and polarization spectra in the presence of a non-vanishing graviton mass. We find that the observation of a B-mode signal consistent with the spectrum predicted by inflationary models would provide the strongest limit yet on the mass of an elementary particle -- a graviton -- at a level of m\lesssim 10^(-30) eV\approx(10 Mpc)^(-1). We also find that a graviton mass in the range between (10 Mpc)^(-1) and (10 kpc)^(-1) leads to interesting modifications of the polarization spectrum. The characteristic signature of a graviton mass in this range would be a plateau in the B-mode spectrum up to angular multipoles of l\sim 100. For even larger values of the graviton mass the tensor contribution to the CMB spectra becomes strongly suppressed.

The insurance of environmental risks
Creators: name: Ashton, Ronald Shaw
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Little is known and less is understood about the insurability of liabilities for environmental damage or about the need for, nature, extent or value of the coverages offered by the insurance industry in this field. It is the object of this work to canvass these matters. At the outset, it is sought to focus attention upon the existing environmental liability risks and to i(identify some of the new common law theories that are evolving to meet the demands of society's emerging "environmental consciousness" and thereby broadening the area of risk. Against this background, the provisions of the available environmental liability insurance facilities are then presented in detail, examined and evaluated. Since it cannot be assumed ipso facto that all environmental liabilities are insurable, the insurability question is addressed in the light of the orthodoxies of public policy and insurance principle. Finally, this thesis inquires whether liability insurance can make a positive contribution to environmental regulation and to the promotion of sound environmental values. The first conclusion drawn herein is that the area of risk is sufficiently broad to warrant serious attention both from those at risk and from the insurance industry. Traditional liability insurance facilities are assessed to be inadequate and negative in their handling of the risks, falling considerably short of the goal of effective coverage. However, the new Environmental Impairment Liability Policy is seen as something of a "light in the dark". It is not without its shortcomings (these are adverted to and changes recommended) but, generally speaking, is a worthwhile initiative and a useful model for future development. On the question of the role of liability insurance in environmental regulation, it is concluded that there are indeed ways and means by which the insurance mechanism can help, provided that people in the insurance industry are appropriately motivated.

description: Significant effect of semiconductor properties on domain configurations in ferroelectrics is demonstrated, especially in the case of doped materials. Phase field simulations are performed for ferroelectrics with space charges due to donors and electronic charge carriers. The free charges introduced thereby can act as a source for charge compensation at domain walls with uncompensated polarization bound charges. Results indicate that the equilibrium position of a domain wall with respect to its rotation in a head-to-head or a tail-to-tail domain configuration depends on the charge defect concentration and the Fermi level position.

description: Discovered in 1996 by BeppoSAX during a single type-I burst event, SAX J1753.5-2349 was classified as "burst-only" source. Its persistent emission, either in outburst or in quiescence, had never been observed before October 2008, when SAX J1753.5-2349 was observed for the first time in outburst. Based on INTEGRAL observations,we present here the first high-energy emission study (above 10 keV) of a so-called "burst-only". During the outburst the SAX J1753.5-2349 flux decreased from 10 to 4 mCrab in 18-40 keV, while it was found being in a constant low/hard spectral state. The broad-band (0.3-100 keV) averaged spectrum obtained by combining INTEGRAL/IBIS and Swift/XRT data has been fitted with a thermal Comptonisation model and an electron temperature >24 keV inferred. However, the observed high column density does not allow the detection of the emission from the neutron star surface. Based on the whole set of observations of SAX J1753.5-2349, we are able to provide a rough estimate of the duty cycle of the system and the time-averaged mass-accretion rate. We conclude that the low to very low luminosity of SAX J1753.5-2349 during outburst may make it a good candidate to harbor a very compact binary system.

'La mesure de l'instant'. Romanszene und Malerei in der französischen Spätaufklärung
Creators: name: Schöch, Christof
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Wenn von der Zeitlichkeit in Literatur und Malerei die Rede ist, so wird man zunächst an die doppelte Zeitstruktur narrativer Texte sowie an die Darstellung eines sorgfältig gewählten, prägnanten Moments in der Malerei denken. Ebenso präsent ist die Frage nach den Möglichkeiten der Bilder, einen zeitlichen und narrativen Ablauf darzustellen. Die umgekehrte Frage, die nach den Möglichkeiten der Sprache, zeitlichen Stillstand, Gleichzeitigkeit, den einzelnen Augenblick darzustellen, wird deutlich seltener gestellt. Genau dies soll hier getan werden, und zwar am Beispiel einer Epoche, in welcher dem Augenblick eine besondere Rolle zukommt. In der Tat wird im europäischen 18. Jahrhundert erstmals nicht mehr das kontinuierliche Fließen der Zeit betont, sondern ihre Fragmentierung in einzelne Augenblicke. Rückt der Augenblick ins Zentrum, stellt sich die Frage nach seinen Qualitäten und seiner Dauer, aber auch nach den Modalitäten seiner Darstellung. Georges Poulet war der Frage nach der „mesure de l’instant“ mit einem Ansatz nachgegangen, der philosophische und literarische Aspekte verband. Der vorliegende Beitrag möchte die Darstellung des Augenblicks aus einer intermedialen Perspektive in den Blick nehmen: Im Zusammenspiel von Malerei und Roman in der französischen Spätaufklärung.

description: Starting from an abelian rigid braided monoidal category C we define an abelian rigid monoidal category C_F which captures some aspects of perturbed conformal defects in two-dimensional conformal field theory. Namely, for V a rational vertex operator algebra we consider the charge-conjugation CFT constructed from V (the Cardy case). Then C = Rep(V) and an object in C_F corresponds to a conformal defect condition together with a direction of perturbation. We assign to each object in C_F an operator on the space of states of the CFT, the perturbed defect operator, and show that the assignment factors through the Grothendieck ring of C_F. This allows one to find functional relations between perturbed defect operators. Such relations are interesting because they contain information about the integrable structure of the CFT.

description: Cannabis is one of the most commonly used drugs among adolescents, with initial use beginning between the ages of 12 to 17. Although often perceived as a 'soft drug', both short- and long-term use have been associated with numerous adverse outcomes, including cognitive impairment, increased risk of substance abuse, and heightened risk of psychosis or schizophrenia in individuals with a predisposition. Further, the severity of these impairments is closely linked to initiation of use, i.e. earlier use increases risk. It has been suggested that adolescent vulnerability to the adverse consequences of cannabis use is due to ongoing brain development occurring during this time. Indeed, the adolescent brain continues to be remodeled well into adolescence and early adulthood, particularly in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been implicated in reward processing and decision-making and alterations in mPFC development due to adolescent cannabis exposure could impair these functions. To model the effects of cannabis on mPFC function, we administered the synthetic cannabinoid WIN 55, 212-2 (WIN) to male and female rats from postnatal day 30-60. Once animals reached adulthood, we used a Probabilistic Reward (PR) choice task to elicit PFC activity and measure how patterns of activity to task-related events were modulated by adolescent WIN-treatment. Adult animals showed subtle effects of WIN-treatment on choice patterns. During task performance, mPFC activity elicited by lever press at the time of choices and reward delivery following choices were reduced in WIN-treated animals. This lasting effect of WIN suggests an impairment of the maturation of excitatory-inhibitory balance of signals in mPFC during adolescence, which may alter executive function into adulthood.

Jeans type instability for a chemotactic model of cellular aggregation

description: We consider an inertial model of chemotactic aggregation generalizing the Keller-Segel model and we study the linear dynamical stability of an infinite and homogeneous distribution of cells (bacteria, amoebae, endothelial cells,...) when inertial effects are accounted for. These inertial terms model cells directional persistance. We determine the condition of instability and the growth rate of the perturbation as a function of the cell density and the wavelength of the perturbation. We discuss the differences between overdamped (Keller-Segel) and inertial models. Finally, we show the analogy between the instability criterion for biological populations and the Jeans instability criterion in astrophysics.

title: The Mundus Attinis in the Lucanian consilinum (campania) as a metaphor of death and re-birth

description: This chapter aims to reconsider an inscription from Consilinum (3rd century CE), in which we find the problematic mention of a mundus Attinis. This inscription has been almost neglected by scholars: it has been analyzed in a systematic way only in an article in Latin language back in 1978. It is not easy to explain what mundus exactly represented to the ancient Romans, but we can assert for sure that it was a holy place in connection with the worship of the gods of the underworld. The connection between Cybele, Attis, and the underworld is well known, but this is the only mention we have of a mundus Attinis i.e. Attidis. It might be connected to the (mystic?) rites in honor of the dead Attis, symbolized by a pine, who, during the Hilaria, was carried in an underground chamber for lamentations, before his new life. In my opinion, we might also think of the mundus as a sort of reversed womb, related to the figure of the Magna Mater, in which birth and death come together and overlap.

description: BaCuChF (Ch=S,Se,Te) surfaces and BaCuSeF interfaces with zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) were studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. BaCuChF compounds oxidize when exposed to ambient atmosphere. Se capping layers were studied as a means to produce representative surfaces for photoelectron spectroscopic measurements. Decapped BaCuSeF surfaces remain O-free and C-free when the Se layer is evaporated but they become F-deficient. The resulting surfaces have work functions of 4.85 eV and Fermi levels located 0.25 eV above the valence band maximum. In situ stepwise deposition of ZnPc on a BaCuSeF film surface produced a chemically inert interface with a hole-injection barrier of 0.11 eV.

description: By using high pressure and high temperature (3.7 GPa, 1120 $^{\circ}$C) synthesis technique, we have grown (Cu,C)Ba$_2$Ca$_3$Cu$_4$O$_{11+δ}$ single crystals. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, resistivity and magnetization measurements are carried out and all show that the samples have good quality. The single crystal has onset and zero-resistance transition temperatures of about 111 K and 109.6 K, indicating a very narrow transition width, which is consistent with a rather sharp magnetization transition. Magnetization hysteresis loops (MHLs) are also measured, showing a pronounced second peak effect in the intermediate temperature region. The magnetic critical current density calculated from the MHLs at 77 K and 1.5 T is about 6.4$\times$10$^4$ A/cm$^2$. By using a criterion of 1$\%$ normal state resistivity, we have determined the irreversibility line which exhibits an irreversibility field of about 8 T at 77 K. Compared with other layered systems, it is easy to find that the irreversibility line is rather high and could be further improved with the optimized transition temperature of about 118 K as previously discovered in polycrystalline samples.

title: Motherhood, breastfeeding and adoption: the case of Hera suckling Heracles

description: Starting from some reflections on how Hera played the role of mother in mythological tales, we move to take into consideration the special case of the goddess suckling Heracles (sometimes as an adult). Notoriously, the Greeks attributed specific properties to breast-milk, such as transmitting genetic traits and creating bonds of kinship; therefore it does not seem unlikely to think that the episode in question alludes to the (symbolic) adoption by Hera of the illegitimate son of her husband, in order to let him access the divine family. Adoption in the ancient world, in fact, often involved adolescents and adults, with the primary goal being the provision of a legitimate heir to a citizen.
