AbstractTrilaciclib (Cosela™) is a small-molecule, short-acting, inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) 4 and 6 developed by G1 Therapeutics for its myeloprotection and potential antitumor efficacy and safety benefits in combination with cancer chemotherapy. CDKs govern cell cycle progression, and trilaciclib induces a transient, reversible G1 cell cycle arrest of proliferating haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in bone marrow, thus protecting them from damage during chemotherapy. In February 2021, trilaciclib received its first approval in the USA to decrease the incidence of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in adult patients when administered prior to a platinum/etoposide-containing regimen or topotecan-containing regimen for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Clinical studies in breast cancer, colorectal cancer and small cell lung cancer are underway in several countries. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of trilaciclib leading to this first approval.

description: The concept of integrated profit offers a theoretical framework for a holistic analysis of contract goals between agricultural producers’ groups and agri-food sector. The theoretical background applied in this paper is the contract theory. The primary purpose being the identification of vertical coordination forms between producers’ organizations and agri-food sector. Consequently, the specific goal was to recognize price mechanisms in contracts and their analysis in the context of the integrated profit (only in the field of coordination). The research focused on contracts signed in 2014 between groups operating on poultry market and their first buyers. The survey (collection of primary data) was conducted in the period March-May 2015 through the Computer Assisted Telephone Interview. The main first buyer of producers’ groups were processing plants. Almost 50% of groups used to sell their outputs through contracts. The fixed price was the most frequently used price formula in contractual relationship. Consequently, more risk were taken by first buyers. The second most popular price formula was the market price on delivery day which can be treated as an unduly burden for producers’ organizations, although it may also support production coordination through price signals.

description: I review recent optical observations of supernovae (SNe) conducted by my group. The Lick Observatory Supernova Search with the 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope is currently the world's most successful search for nearby SNe. We also use this telescope to obtain multicolor light curves of SNe. One of the more interesting SNe we discovered is SN 2000cx, which differs from all previously observed SNe Ia. Another very strange SN Ia that we studied is SN 2002cx, many of whose properties are opposite those of SN 2000cx. Extensive data on SNe II-P 1999em and 1999gi were used to derive distances with the expanding photosphere method. Results from spectropolarimetry suggest that the deeper we peer into the ejecta of core-collapse SNe, the greater the asphericity. We are using Hubble Space Telescope data to identify, or set limits on, the progenitors of core-collapse SNe.

description: Magnetic two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have attracted a lot of attention because modern preparation techniques are capable of providing single crystal films of these materials with precise control of thickness down to the single-layer limit. It opens up a way to study rich variety of electronic and magnetic phenomena with promising routes towards potential applications. We have investigated the initial stages of epitaxial growth of the magnetic van der Waals semiconductor FeBr\textsubscript{2} on a single-crystal Au(111) substrate by means of low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, low-energy electron emission microscopy and x-ray photoemission electron microscopy. Magnetic properties of the one- and two-layer thick films were measured via x-ray absorption spectroscopy/x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Our findings show a striking difference in the magnetic behaviour of the single layer of FeBr\textsubscript{2} and its bulk counterpart, which can be attributed to the modifications in the crystal structure due to the interaction with the substrate.

description: In this paper we extend the recently introduced mixed Hellan-Herrmann-Johnson (HHJ) method for nonlinear Koiter shells to nonlinear Naghdi shells by means of a hierarchical approach. The additional shearing degrees of freedom are discretized by H(curl)-conforming Nédélec finite elements entailing a shear locking free method. By linearizing the models we obtain in the small strain regime linear Kirchhoff-Love and Reissner-Mindlin shell formulations, which reduce for plates to the originally proposed HHJ and TDNNS method for Kirchhoff-Love and Reissner-Mindlin plates, respectively. By using the Regge interpolation operator we obtain locking-free arbitrary order shell methods. Additionally, the methods can be directly applied to structures with kinks and branched shells. Several numerical examples and experiments are performed validating the excellence performance of the proposed shell elements.

description: We present numerical evidence for an additional discontinuous transition inside the jammed regime for an asymmetric bidisperse granular packing upon compression. This additional transition line separates jammed states with networks of predominantly large particles from jammed networks formed by both large and small particles, and the transition is indicated by a discontinuity in the number of particles contributing to the jammed network. The additional transition line emerges from the curves of jamming transitions and terminates in an end-point where the discontinuity vanishes. The additional line is starting at a size ratio around $δ= 0.22$ and grows longer for smaller $δ$. For $δ\to 0$, the additional transition line approaches a limit that can be derived analytically. The observed jamming scenarios are reminiscent of glass-glass transitions found in colloidal glasses.

description: Irrespective of various definitions, we can certainly say that Polish agricultural farms are “small” compared to units from western European countries. The main aim of the article is to provide information about the number of farms and the types of investments made within the framework of actions addressed to “small” farms in the RDP 2004–2013 (2014–2020) and evaluation of the effectiveness of disbursing public means for this purpose. As evident from the analysis in 2004–2006, under the RDP, operation was introduced aimed at “Support for semi-subsistence farms”. From a perspective of disbursing public funds, it is possible to assess the economic effectiveness of this action as very small. In the new term financing (2014–2020) we are dealing with an obvious promotion of small and medium sized farms. However, there is concern about the economic rationale of this approach.

description: The aim of this article is to determine the potential trade effects of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) for the EU agri-food sector. The ex post analysis covered the characteristics of agri-food trade between the EU and the US in the years 2004–2014 on the basis of statistical data from the database of the World Bank WITS. The ex ante evaluation was carried out using SMART – a partial equilibrium model. The results of the study indicate that although bilateral agri-food trade relations of the EU–US have relatively little importance, but it is significant at the individual industries level. TTIP agreement, which includes the reduction of tariff barriers to agri-food trade between the EU and the US, will contribute to boosting bilateral agri-food trade to a greater extent for the US. The creation of a free trade produces mostly creation effect, whereby it will be asymmetric – concentrated in a few product groups.

description: In this paper, we report on numerical calculations of the spontaneous emission rates and Lamb shifts of a $^{87}\text{Rb}$ atom in a Rydberg-excited state $\left(n\leq30\right)$ located close to a silica optical nanofiber. We investigate how these quantities depend on the fiber's radius, the distance of the atom to the fiber, the direction of the atomic angular momentum polarization as well as the different atomic quantum numbers. We also study the contribution of quadrupolar transitions, which may be substantial for highly polarizable Rydberg states. Our calculations are performed in the macroscopic quantum electrodynamics formalism, based on the dyadic Green's function method. This allows us to take dispersive and absorptive characteristics of silica into account; this is of major importance since Rydberg atoms emit along many different transitions whose frequencies cover a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our work is an important initial step towards building a Rydberg atom-nanofiber interface for quantum optics and quantum information purposes.

description: The processes occurring in Polish rural areas undeniably reflect the evolution of the concept of their functioning. However, their performance of modern functions depends on the solid support of the activities undertaken both on the local and the regional level. The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the opportunities for subsidizing Polish rural areas’ activities other than agricultural production, as well the scale of the funds earmarked for these aims. Two EU programmes were analysed: The Rural Development Programme 2007–2013 and The Rural Development Programme 2014–2020. The comparative analysis of the programmes was conducted from the perspective of macroeconomics i.e. on a national scale. The subsequent programming periods indicate the limited extent of the changes occurring in the structure of the ways in which subsidies are used. What seems to be clear is the lack of a modern view on the functioning of rural areas and the directions for their development. The evaluated programme is dedicated to rural areas, but it focuses mainly on agriculture, whereas The Rural Development Programme does not include the problem of public goods and the benefits related to them.

description: Assessment efficiency of investments realized in the years 1996–2003 with the use of the so-called preferential loans and after accession of Poland to the European Union is the purpose of this study. Using regression methods, the impact of selected elements of the production potential of farms on the value of investment expenditures after 2004 have been defined. Conclusively, the efficiency of investments was considerably higher in the pre-accession period than after accession of Poland to the European Union. It concerns both farms differing in the values of investment expenditures as well as the investment’s direction. A particular high drop in the investment’s efficiency occurred at farms investing the most in machines and equipment. The analysis of correlation with the use of the methods of regression indicates, that the area of a farm and fixed assets had a crucial impact on the value of investment expenditures in the years 2004–2011. The level of explanation of variability of investment expenditures by the production potential and factors covariant with it is high, and for the lineal function it amounts to more than 91%.

description: We present a study of the elastic exciton--electron ($X-e^-$) and exciton--hole ($X-h$) scattering processes in semiconductor quantum wells, including fermion exchange effects. The balance between the exciton and the free carrier populations within the electron-hole plasma is discussed in terms of ionization degree in the nondegenerate regime. Assuming a two-dimensional Coulomb potential statically screened by the free carrier gas, we apply the variable phase method to obtain the excitonic wavefunctions, which we use to calculate the 1$s$ exciton--free carrier matrix elements that describe the scattering of excitons into the light cone where they can radiatively recombine. The photon emission rates due to the carrier-assisted exciton recombination in semiconductor quantum-wells (QWs) at room temperature and in a low density regime are obtained from Fermi's golden rule, and studied for mid-gap and wide-gap materials. The quantitative comparison of the direct and exchange terms of the scattering matrix elements shows that fermion exchange is the dominant mechanism of the exciton--carrier scattering process. This is confirmed by our analysis of the rates of photon emission induced by electron-assisted and hole-assisted exciton recombinations.

The study included individual farms FADN in different regions in Poland. The analysis were based on data from the statistical publications of the Central Statistical Office of Poland as well as accounting information on income from agricultural activity in individual farms covered by the Polish FADN. It has been proven that the equipment in the land factor is the determinant of leveling the value of agricultural income (convergence) between farms from areas with similar equipment in this factor.

description: We study numerically the integrable turbulence in the framework of the focusing one-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation using a new method -- the "growing of turbulence". We add to the equation a weak controlled pumping term and start adiabatic evolution of turbulence from statistically homogeneous Gaussian noise. After reaching a certain level of average intensity, we switch off the pumping and realize that the "grown up" turbulence is statistically stationary. We measure its Fourier spectrum, the probability density function (PDF) of intensity and the autocorrelation of intensity. Additionally, we show that, being adiabatic, our method produces stationary states of the integrable turbulence for the intermediate moments of pumping as well. Presently, we consider only the turbulence of relatively small level of nonlinearity; however, even this "moderate" turbulence is characterized by enhanced generation of rogue waves.

description: Up to now, Chandra explored only two nearby galaxy clusters, Abell 1795 and Abell 133, out to extremely large radii, providing full azimuthal coverage beyond the virial radius. These observations present a unique way to probe cluster outskirts, where azimuthal variations in the thermodynamic profiles may occur even in case of dynamically relaxed systems. In addition, one of the critical questions in cluster astrophysics is the role of gas clumping, which may have significant effect on the observed cluster properties. By taking advantage of Chandra's spatial resolution, this question can also be addressed. In this work, we explore the diffuse X-ray emission of the intracluster medium permeating Abell 1795 with particular attention to the outskirts and the role of gas inhomogeneities.

description: Important features of low-frequency collective vibrational excitations in neutron drip line nuclei are studied. We emphasize that pairing anti-halo effect in the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory play crucial roles to realize collective motions in loosely bound nuclei. We study the spatial properties of one particle - one hole (1p-1h) states with/without selfconsistent pairing correlations by solving simplified HF(B) equations in coordinate space. Next, by performing Skyrme-HFB plus selfconsistent quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) we investigate the first 2+ states in neutron rich Ni isotopes. Three types of calculations, HFB plus QRPA, resonant BCS plus QRPA, and RPA are compared.

description: We show that useful non-instantaneous nonlinear phase shifts can be obtained from cascaded quadratic processes in the presence of group velocity mismatch. The two-field nature of the process permits responses that can be effectively advanced or retarded in time with respect to one of the fields. There is an analogy to a generalized Raman-scattering effect, permitting both red and blue shifts of short pulses. We expect this capability to have many applications in short-pulse generation and propagation, such as the compensation of Raman-induced effects and high-quality pulse compression, which we discuss.

description: Classical worst-case optimization theory neither explains the success of optimization in machine learning, nor does it help with step size selection. In this paper we demonstrate the viability and advantages of replacing the classical 'convex function' framework with a 'random function' framework. With complexity $\mathcal{O}(n^3d^3)$, where $n$ is the number of steps and $d$ the number of dimensions, Bayesian optimization with gradients has not been viable in large dimension so far. By bridging the gap between Bayesian optimization (i.e. random function optimization theory) and classical optimization we establish viability. Specifically, we use a 'stochastic Taylor approximation' to rediscover gradient descent, which is scalable in high dimension due to $\mathcal{O}(nd)$ complexity. This rediscovery yields a specific step size schedule we call Random Function Descent (RFD). The advantage of this random function framework is that RFD is scale invariant and that it provides a theoretical foundation for common step size heuristics such as gradient clipping and gradual learning rate warmup.

description: In this paper, we propose and analyze SQuARM-SGD, a communication-efficient algorithm for decentralized training of large-scale machine learning models over a network. In SQuARM-SGD, each node performs a fixed number of local SGD steps using Nesterov's momentum and then sends sparsified and quantized updates to its neighbors regulated by a locally computable triggering criterion. We provide convergence guarantees of our algorithm for general (non-convex) and convex smooth objectives, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first theoretical analysis for compressed decentralized SGD with momentum updates. We show that the convergence rate of SQuARM-SGD matches that of vanilla SGD. We empirically show that including momentum updates in SQuARM-SGD can lead to better test performance than the current state-of-the-art which does not consider momentum updates.

title: Gender Issues in Design and Technology in the Primary School
Creators: name: Hamlin, John Alexander
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: Design and technology is a relatively new subject in the primary school curriculum and, although it is believed to be important in aiding national prosperity through technological progress, there is little to be found about it yet in the research literature. Experience of the curriculum in general is a dominant feature of school life - particularly since the introduction of the National Curriculum - and yet it is not a developed area of research, either. This is a pro-feminist ethnographic study that begins to address these gaps in the literature. It explores how children in their final year in a primary school approach their work in this curricular area and how they use it in the construction of their own gender identities. This dissertation demonstrates how pupils articulate a discourse of equal opportunities whilst subjected to the powerful discourse of gender dichotomy. It shows how children demarcate boundaries between the sexes and have ways of keeping each other on the correct side of the gender divide. Popular cultural resources such as sport, music and television play an important part in children's lives. The children in this study take images and ideas from these cultural resources as well as other aspects of their lives to use in their classroom work in design and technology and through that to the process of constructing their gender identities. The study concludes with some thoughts on its implications for the future.

 Identity: Pragmatodes cyrneogonella (Nel & Varenne, 2012)
 Remarks. Pragmatodes cyrneogonella was described from a male holotype and additional five males and a single female as paratypes. The species was compared with other congeneric taxa, in particular P. albagonella (Varenne & Nel, 2010), P. parvulata (Gozmany, 1957), and P. melagonella (Constant, 1895) (Nel & Varenne 2012a). Huemer & Karsholt (2020) transferred these taxa to the genus Pragmatodes and confirmed the status of P. cyrneogonella with a supportive DNA barcode sequence of the holotype.

description: The generation of polarized particle beams still relies on conventional particle accelerators, which are typically very large in scale and budget. Concepts based on laser-driven wake-field acceleration have strongly been promoted during the last decades. Despite many advances in the understanding of fundamental physical phenomena, one largely unexplored issue is how the particle spins are influenced by the huge magnetic fields of plasma and, thus, how highly polarized beams can be produced. The realization of laser-plasma based accelerators for polarized beams is now being pursued as a joint effort of groups from Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), University of Crete (Greece), and SIOM Shanghai (China) within the ATHENA consortium. As a first step, we have theoretically investigated and identified the mechanisms that influence the beam polarization in laser-plasma accelerators. We then carried out a set of Particle-in-cell simulations on the acceleration of electrons and proton beams from gaseous and foil targets. We could show that intense polarized beams may be produced if pre-polarized gas targets of high density are employed. In these proceedings we further present that the polarization of protons in HT and HCl gas targets is largely conserved during laser wake-field acceleration, even if the proton energies enter the multi-GeV regime. Such polarized sources for electrons, protons, deuterons and $^{3}$He ions are now being built in Jülich. Proof-of-principle measurements at the (multi-)PW laser facilities PHELIX (GSI Darmstadt) and SULF (Shanghai) are in preparation.

title: Assessment of Noise Effects on Sensitive Animal Communities
Creators: name: Forsdyke, Michael Roger
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: There is a statutory requirement to protect certain animals and to assess the environmental effects of new developments on wildlife. However, there is no formal guidance on how such assessments should be undertaken. This research has developed an assessment process specific to animals, which enables informed judgement as to the likely short or long-term impacts. Published animal responses have been analysed to identify particular trends and response thresholds, and a standard procedure for assessing noise effects on animals has been developed. The procedure assigns significance criteria (no effect, slight, moderate and severe) that take account of the physiological and behavioural responses exhibited following exposure to noise. The significance rating determines whether mitigation is required.

Particular combinations of noise, animals and habitat that are especially sensitive to environmental noise are identified as off-road vehicles, helicopters, very quiet habitats, and animals having special hearing characteristics.

An assessment threshold is proposed based on key factors such as the noise level, source distance, and other site-specific circumstances. If LAmax noise levels are greater than 80 dB or the separation between the animals and the noise source is less than 1,000m, an assessment is recommended. For fish and marine mammals, if the Received Level (RL) is greater than 140 dB re: 1μPa rms an assessment is recommended. Slight responses may still arise below these thresholds but moderate or severe responses would not be expected. Circumstances most likely to affect animal responses are a rapid onset of noise, and the presence of helicopters, sonic booms, low flying aircraft, artillery/rockets, blasting/explosions, fireworks, motorboats or float planes.

The assessment methodology is tested on two animal species (black grouse and golden plover) using data from a planning application for military development, and retrospectively to mammals at a wildlife park where low-flying jets had caused moderate/severe responses.
De Sitter Waves and the Zero Curvature Limit

description: We show that a particular set of global modes for the massive de Sitter scalar field (the de Sitter waves) allows to manage the group representations and the Fourier transform in the flat (Minkowskian) limit. This is in opposition to the usual acceptance based on a previous result, suggesting the appearance of negative energy in the limit process. This method also confirms that the Euclidean vacuum, in de Sitter spacetime, has to be preferred as far as one wishes to recover ordinary QFT in the flat limit.

 Identity: Sattleria taurandi Nel & Varenne, 2019, identity uncertain.
 Remarks. Sattleria taurandi was described from a male holotype and a male paratype, and compared with three other species of Sattleria from the Pyrenees (Nel & Varenne 2019b). The DNA barcode of the successfully sequenced holotype is about 2.3% divergent from the nearest species S. pyrenaica (Petry, 1904). However, unfortunately no DNA barcode exists for S. angustispina Pitkin & Sattler, 1991, the nearest species from morphology. Both species can only be separated by subtle genitalia characters which are based on slides made with different preparation techniques, and thus need careful re-assessment.

Tests of general relativity in the nonlinear regime: a parametrized plunge-merger-ringdown waveform model

description: Gravitational waves provide a unique opportunity to test gravity in the dynamical and nonlinear regime. We present a parametrized test of general relativity (GR) that introduces generic deviations to the plunge, merger and ringdown stages of binary-black-hole coalescences. The novel feature of the model is that it can capture signatures of beyond-GR physics in the plunge-merger phase. We use the model to provide constraints on the plunge-merger parameters from the analysis of GW150914. Alarmingly, we find that GW200129 shows a strong violation of GR. We interpret this result as a false violation of GR either due to waveform systematics (mismodeling of spin precession) or data-quality issues.

description: The Casimir energies and pressures for a massless scalar field associated with $δ$-function potentials in 1+1 and 3+1 dimensions are calculated. For parallel plane surfaces, the results are finite, coincide with the pressures associated with Dirichlet planes in the limit of strong coupling, and for weak coupling do not possess a power-series expansion in 1+1 dimension. The relation between Casimir energies and Casimir pressures is clarified,and the former are shown to involve surface terms. The Casimir energy for a $δ$-function spherical shell in 3+1 dimensions has an expression that reduces to the familiar result for a Dirichlet shell in the strong-coupling limit. However, the Casimir energy for finite coupling possesses a logarithmic divergence first appearing in third order in the weak-coupling expansion, which seems unremovable. The corresponding energies and pressures for a derivative of a $δ$-function potential for the same spherical geometry generalizes the TM contributions of electrodynamics. Cancellation of divergences can occur between the TE ($δ$-function) and TM (derivative of $δ$-function) Casimir energies. These results clarify recent discussions in the literature.

description: Let (G,G^+) be a simple ordered abelian group. We say that G has strong perforation if there exists a non-positive element x in G such that nx is positive and non-zero for some natural number n. Otherwise, the group is said to be weakly unperforated. Examples of simple C*-algebras whose ordered K_0-groups have this property and for which the entire order structure on K_0 is known have, until now, been restricted to the case where K_0 is group isomorphic to the integers. We construct simple, separable, unital C*-algebras with strongly perforated K_0-groups group isomorphic to an arbitrary infinitely generated subgroup of the rationals, and determine the order structure on K_0 in each case.

description: Two-dimensional maps with discontinuities are considered. It is shown that, in the presence of discontinuities, the essential spectrum of the transfer operator is large whenever it acts on a Banach space with norm that is stronger than \(L^\infty\) or \(BV\). Three classes of examples are introduced and studied, both expanding and partially expanding. In two dimensions there is complication due to the geometry of the discontinuities, an issue not present in the one-dimensional case and which is explored in this work.
