description: The influence of electron reflection on dc Josephson effect in a ballistic point contact with transport current in the banks is considered theoretically. The effect of finite transparency on the vortex-like currents near the contact and at the phase difference $ϕ=π,$ which has been predicted recently \cite{KOSh}, is investigated. We show that at low temperatures even a small reflection on the contact destroys the mentioned vortex-like current states, which can be restored by increasing of the temperature.

Implications of BRCA-loss phenotype in epithelial ovarian carcinoma
Creators: name: Press, Joshua Zephyr
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Loss of BRCA1/BRCA2 function through genetic or epigenetic mechanisms is common in epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOC), but because there are multiple potential mechanisms of loss, the overall frequency is unknown. We characterized loss of BRCA1/BRCA2 at the DNA, RNA and protein level from an unselected, consecutive series 49 non-mucinous, invasive EOC. BRCAl-loss was found in 21/49 tumors (43%). These included 8 tumors from patients with BRCA1 germline mutations, 1 tumor with a somatic BRCA1 mutation and 12 tumors (24%) that showed BRCAl-loss without evidence of BRCA1 mutation. Three tumors that contained BRCA2 mutations (2 germline/1 somatic) did not exhibit BRCAl-loss. The histopathology of the tumors showing BRCAl-loss was high-grade serous or undifferentiated carcinoma in every case (even in the absence of mutations) with 21/38 high-grade serous/undifferentiated EOC showing BRCAl-loss. None of the 11 tumors of non high-grade serous type (5 endometrioid, 4 clear cell, and 2 low-grade serous) exhibited BRCAl-loss. High-grade serous/undifferentiated EOC with BRCAl-loss showed different immunophenotype compared to those without BRCAl-loss (p53+, p21-, cyclin D1-). Progress in the treatment of EOC requires appropriate in vivo models to assess novel targeted therapeutic agents, such as the ability of Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors to selectively damage BRCAl-null tumor cells. We evaluated the genetic/phenotypic stability of primary human gynecological tumors grown as serially transplanted xenografts in NOD/SCID mice. Transplantable tumor lines were derived from 5 tumors, and serially transplanted for 2-6 generations. Comparisons were made between primary tumor and corresponding transplantable xenografts. Genetic stability was suggested by unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis of a 287 feature comparative genomic hybridization array. Phenotypic stability was suggested by immunohistochemistry using antibodies against EGFR, HER2, HER3, IGF-IRp, Mucinl, E-cadherin, P-catenin, and VEGF. Analysis of a xenograft from a patient with a known germline BRCA1 mutation confirmed the presence of a hemizygous truncating mutation within BRCA1 exon2 (del 185AG), associated with loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Another case had no mutations in BRCA1, but showed LOH and promoter hypermethylation, with undetectable BRCA1 protein, indicating epigenetic loss. These models may be used to assess targeted therapeutics, such as PARP inhibitors in tumors with genetic or epigenetic BRCAl-loss.

subject: territorial diff erences

description: The article presents the results of research concerning natural persons conducting economic activity registered in the REGON system that characterize the development of entrepreneurship in rural areas in Poland in the post-accession period. The main objective of this study was to identify the development tendencies and territorial diff erentiation in the range of the analysed form of economic activity. The research was conducted using computer local data banks (BDL) published by Central Statistical Offi ce of Poland, and also the techniques of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to depict parts of the results in the form of thematic maps. The analysis of registered natural persons in relation to the population (per 100 inhabitants) was carried out at the two levels: local (in all municipalities in the country) for 2003–2012, as well as regional level (for 16 voivodeships) for 2003–2014. The research pointed to an increase of the importance of economic entrepreneurship in development of rural areas, and at the same time it showed a large territorial diff erentiation in this respect.

On the Correlation between Energy Spectra and Element Abundances in Solar Energetic Particles

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In solar energetic particle (SEP) events, the physical processes of both shock acceleration and scattering during transport can cause energy-spectral indices to be correlated with enhancement or suppression of element abundances versus mass-to-charge ratios A/Q. We observe correlations for those "gradual" SEP events where shock waves accelerate ions from the ambient coronal plasma, but there are no such correlations for "impulsive" SEP events produced by magnetic reconnection in solar jets, where abundance enhancement in different events vary from (A/Q)^+2 to (A/Q)^+8, nor are there correlations when shock waves reaccelerate these residual impulsive ions. In these latter events the abundances are determined separately, prior to the accelerated spectra. Events with correlated spectra and abundances show a wide variety of interesting behavior that has not been described previously. Small and moderate gradual SEP events, with relative abundances typically depending approximately upon (A/Q)^-1 and the spectra upon energy E^-2.5, vary little with time. Large SEP events show huge temporal variations skirting the correlation line; in one case O spectra vary with time from E^-1 to E^-5 while abundances vary from (A/Q)^+1 to (A/Q)^-2 during the event. In very large events, streaming-limited transport through proton-generated resonant Alfve'n waves flattens the spectra and enhances heavy ion abundances prior to local shock passage, then steepens the spectra and reduces enhancements afterward, recapturing the typical correlation. Systematic correlation of spectra and element abundances provide a new perspective on the "injection problem" of ion selection by shocks and on the physics of SEP acceleration and transport.

description: The aim of the study was to analyse the diversity of return on equity in the cooperative banks in Poland in 2010– 2014. The analysis was conducted using data of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, on the basis of a modifi ed decomposition rate of return on equity. Assessment of the rate of return on equity was made in a size of banks, as determined by the value of assets. In addition, in order to determine the strength and direction of impact the individual components of the model on the formation of return on equity method was applied functional. The study suggests that cooperative banks eff ectively use the equity, because the rate of return on equity was signifi cantly higher than the rate of return on assets. The average return on assets in 2010–2014 was relatively lower in the largest banks and ranged from 0.7–0.9%, and the smallest banks return on assets was approximately 1%. In turn, the return on equity was higher at banks with major assets (over 200 million PLN). In 2013–2014 the rate of return both on assets and equity expressly declined. The main determinants of changes in return on equity were changing the multiplier reduction of profi t from banking activities by operating costs and costs of banking risk and return on assets, as well as measured result on banking activities.

description: In a state-update protocol for a system of $L$ asynchronous parallel processes that communicate only with nearest neighbors, global desynchronization in operation times can be deduced from kinetic roughening of the corresponding virtual-time horizon (VTH). The utilization of the parallel processing environment can be deduced by analyzing the microscopic structure of the VTH. We give an overview of how the methods of non-equilibrium surface growth (physics of complex systems) can be applied to uncover some properties of state update algorithms used in distributed parallel discrete-event simulations (PDES). In particular, we focus on the asynchronous conservative PDES algorithm in a ring communication topology. The time evolution of its VTH is simulated numerically as asynchronous cellular automaton whose update rule corresponds to the update rule followed by this algorithm. We give theoretical estimates of the performance as a function of $L$ and the load per processor, i.e., approximate formulas for the mean speedup and for the desynchronization. It is established that, for a given simulation size, there is a theoretical upper bound for the desynchronization and a theoretical non-zero lower bound for the utilization. The new approach to performance studies, outlined in this chapter, is particularly useful in the search for the design of a new-generation of algorithms that would efficiently carry out an autonomous or tunable synchronization.

description: Using the Subaru very deep K'-band imaging and HST WFPC2/NICMOS archival data of the Hubble Deep Field North, we investigate the evolution of the stellar mass, color, morphology of galaxies to z ~ 3. We mainly examine the rest-frame U-V color distribution of galaxies as a function of stellar mass. At 0.32, it is seen that more massive galaxies tend to have redder U-V color over the range of 10^9-10^10 M_solar. These results suggests that the star formation history of galaxies depends on their stellar mass very much. The low-mass population is likely to have relatively long star formation timescale. At the stellar mass larger than ~5x10^9 M_solar, there must be some mechanisms which suppress the star formation in galaxies at 0

They indicate that the gamma-process in supernova (SN) explosions is the most promising origin of the p-nuclei that has been discussed with many possible nuclear reactions and sites for about fifty years. In addition the scalings provide new concepts: an universality of the gamma-process and a new nuclear cosmochronometer. We have carried out gamma-process nucleosynthesis calculations for typical core-collapse SN explosion models and the results satisfy the observed scalings.

description: Astrophysical measurements have shown that some stars have sufficiently high carbon-to-oxygen ratios such that the planets they host would be mainly composed of carbides instead of silicates. We studied the behavior of silicon carbide in the presence of water under the high pressure-temperature conditions relevant to planetary interiors in the laser-heated diamond-anvil cell (LHDAC). When reacting with water, silicon carbide converts to silica (stishovite) and diamond at pressures up to 50 GPa and temperatures up to 2500 K: SiC + 2H$_2$O -> SiO$_2$ + C + 2H$_2$. Therefore, if water can be incorporated into carbide planets during their formation or through later delivery, they could be oxidized and have mineralogy dominated by silicates and diamond in their interiors. The reaction could produce CH$_4$ at shallower depths and H$_2$ at greater depths which could be degassed from the interior, causing the atmospheres of the converted carbon planets to be rich in reducing gases. Excess water after the reaction can be stored in dense silica polymorphs in the interiors of the converted carbon planets. Such conversion of mineralogy to diamond and silicates would decrease the density of carbon-rich planet, making the converted planets distinct from silicate planets in mass-radius relations for the 2-8 Earth mass range.

description: The aim of the article was getting to know the factors, determining socio-economic activity of small and mediumsized businesses on border areas in Warmińsko-Mazurskie voivodeship. The study was conducted by telephone interviewing in 2015 amongst randomly selected group of 76 entrepreneurs. The gathered empirical data allowed to determine the areas which need taking action from local authorities to work for socio-economic development of border areas and improve the functionality conditions of the already existing companies. In entrepreneurs’ opinion, an important element in small and medium-sized businesses development is advertisement of the area and introduction of investment incentives. The study shows that endogenous possibilities of entrepreneurship development are limited. The most frequently raised issues were connected with the functioning of companies in their remote location, and also progressing depopulation of the area and low purchasing power of the local community.

description: We continue our program of unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics in terms of a noncommutative algebra ${\cal A}$ on a transformation groupoid $Γ= E \times G$ where $E$ is the total space of a principal fibre bundle over spacetime, and $G$ a suitable group acting on $Γ$. We show that every $a \in {\cal A}$ defines a random operator, and we study the dynamics of such operators. In the noncommutative regime, there is no usual time but, on the strength of the Tomita-Takesaki theorem, there exists a one-parameter group of automorphisms of the algebra ${\cal A}$ which can be used to define a state dependent dynamics; i.e., the pair $({\cal A}, ϕ)$, where $ϕ$ is a state on ${\cal A}$, is a ``dynamic object''. Only if certain additional conditions are satisfied, the Connes-Nikodym-Radon theorem can be applied and the dependence on $ϕ$ disappears. In these cases, the usual unitary quantum mechanical evolution is recovered. We also notice that the same pair $({\cal A}, ϕ)$ defines the so-called free probability calculus, as developed by Voiculescu and others, with the state $ϕ$ playing the role of the noncommutative probability measure. This shows that in the noncommutative regime dynamics and probability are unified. This also explains probabilistic properties of the usual quantum mechanics.

description: Scotch Bonnet pepper is a non-traditional export crop, with an expanding market. It is also an important ingredient in jerk seasonings and the local cuisine. Production and productivity are often hampered by poor agronomic management and attacks from a range of pests and diseases particularly TEV and PVY. Previous studies have shown varying response to nutrient application. On the basis of the crop demand and preliminary pot studies, levels ofN, Il, and K were proposed. The study was a RCB with four replicates of five treatments. Seedlings were established 60 em apart in rows that were 90 em apart. The levels of nutrient used were: T1 (control, no fertilizer); T2 (187 kg Nlha, 31 kgPlha, 75 kg Kfha); T3 (374 kgNIh,:I., 62 kgPlha, 150 kg Kfha); T4 (748 kg Nlha, 62 kg Plha. 300 kg Kfha); and T5 (foliar application ofNlS:P30:K30). The Nand K were split into three applications. The P was applied with a third of the N and K seven days after transplanting. The nutrient effect on plant growth, production and the relationships between nutrient levels and pest and disease incidence were studied on the Bodies Research Station. The results showed significant impact offcrtilizeron plant height (P<0.05), and spread (length x width) (P

The mangoes were harvested at the Fortuna Experimental Substation on three different ocassions. The physical characteristics measured were texture, ascorbic acid, B-carotene and total sugar. The shelf life of the fruit roll was determined by the microbial stability and chemical analysis. The shelf life of the product was six month without refrigeration. The product treated with 0.03% of potassium sorbate was the favorite of the panelist.
title: Identification And Characterization Of Mediators Of Toxicity Of Aβ Oligomers By Genome Wide Screening In Caenorhabditis Elegans
Creators: name: Stravalaci, Matteo
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: Soluble oligomers of the amyloid-β (Aβ) protein play a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), although the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. In order to search for proteins involved in the formation and/or toxicity of Aβ oligomers, a transgenic C. elegans model of AD was used in which inducible expression of Aβ oligomers results in a complete paralysis; in these worms a genetic screen following chemical mutagenesis was applied to discover the genes involved in the Aβ-dependent paralysis (forward genetics). This analysis allowed identification of a mutated clone showing a complete lack of paralysis, despite this it not bear mutations in the Aβ coding region, and accumulates Aβ transcript and protein levels comparable to that of the non-mutated strain. This is the first in vivo model in which the expression of Aβ oligomers do not result in any toxic effect. The genome of the mutated worm was then sequenced and compared with that of the control strain to search for altered genes. Two genes, with no known function, were found to bear a stop codon mutation, likely resulting in the translation of an inactive protein. The rest of the mutations were missense mutations. Among them, point mutations were observed in some genes previously correlated with nematode lifespan and ageing. In C. elegans these biological processes are coordinated by the insulin/IGF-1-like signalling (IIS) pathway, which also regulates the response of the organism to toxic aggregated proteins. Thus, the activation of the IIS pathway was investigated in control and mutated worms. As expected, Aβ expression induced the up-regulation of two genes coding for small heat shock proteins (a class of chaperons known to be involved in AD) in the control strain, whereas these genes were actually down-regulated in the mutated strain. Since heat shock proteins are known to bind Aβ oligomers, these chaperons could directly mediate the formation of toxic amyloid species. Moreover, the results of the whole genome sequencing indicate that several proteins could act as potential novel mediators of Aβ toxicity and could open up new insights for research on age-related, neurodegenerative diseases.

description: The physics of Markovian open quantum systems can be described by quantum master equations. These are dynamical equations, that incorporate the Hamiltonian and jump operators, and generate the system's time evolution. Reconstructing the system's Hamiltonian and and its coupling to the environment from measurements is important both for fundamental research as well as for performance-evaluation of quantum machines. In this paper we introduce a method that reconstructs the dynamical equation of open quantum systems, directly from a set of expectation values of selected observables. We benchmark our technique both by a simulation and experimentally, by measuring the dynamics of a trapped $^{88}\text{Sr}^+$ ion under spontaneous photon scattering.

description: Chili plums (Spondias purpurea L.) harvested and classified as immature (MI), mature green (M2) and slightly turning or breaker (M3) were stored at 4-5°C, 9-1O°C,20-21°C and 30-31°C and evaluated for changes in total soluble solids (TSS), total titratable acidity (TTA), pH, sugar-acid-ratio 􀀀(􀀀T􀀀S􀀀S􀀀m􀀀~􀀀A ratio), total sugars, reducing sugars, vitamin C, marketable fruits and decay over 15 days. Sensory evaluation was also done on stored samples. In addition fruits stored for 15 days at 4-5°C and 9-10°C were transferred to 20-21°C for 1 day to assess the development of chilling injury symptoms. Decay due to a fmit rot fungi of the Phoma spp terminated the shelf-life of fruit at all three stages of maturity after 8 days at 20-21°C. However, at 30-31 °C shelf-life was only six days. M2 and M3 fruit at 20-21°C and 30-31°C had lower TTA and higher 1'SS, pH, vitamin C, sugar-acidratios and total and reducing sugar contents compared to fruit stored at4-5°C and 9-lOoC. Pitting and shrivelling among Ml fruit rated as moderate and slight after 1 day at 4-5°C and 9-lOoC respectively, accelerated to very severe after 7 days. M2 fruit at 4-5°C which appeared marketable during continuous storage for t 5 days showed visible symptoms of severe chilling injury upon transfer to the warmer temperature while similar fruit stored at 9-lOoC did not. M3 fruit at 4-5°C showed no chilling symptoms but were unmarketable after t I days due to rapid softening. It was concluded that chili plums harvested at the M2 stage of maturity maintained the best quality when stored at 9-10°C in view of the absence of decay, severe chilling injury and shrivelling as well as the highly acceptable sensory evaluation scores after 15 days of storage.

description: Uniquely identifying individuals across the various networks they interact with on a daily basis remains a challenge for the digital world that we live in, and therefore the development of secure and efficient privacy preserving identity mechanisms has become an important field of research. In addition, the popularity of decentralised decision making networks such as Bitcoin has seen a huge interest in making use of distributed ledger technology to store and securely disseminate end user identity credentials. In this paper we describe a mechanism that allows one to store the COVID-19 vaccination details of individuals on a publicly readable, decentralised, immutable blockchain, and makes use of a two-factor authentication system that employs biometric cryptographic hashing techniques to generate a unique identifier for each user. Our main contribution is the employment of a provably secure input-hiding, locality-sensitive hashing algorithm over an iris extraction technique, that can be used to authenticate users and anonymously locate vaccination records on the blockchain, without leaking any personally identifiable information to the blockchain.

description: The Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) identified the need for agricultural technology development to be: market driven to afford regional producers a competitive edge even in their domestic markets: This paper looks at partieipatory technology development on Marilissa Fanus, a CARDI small ruminant project fann in Trinidad. An examination of the impact of technical and business development interventions (undertaken between 1994-97) is made OIl a produetion system which is geared pritn".rily towards the provision ofhigh quality lamb into a niche market developed and implemented by CARDI. Increases in the quality and size of forage banks and pastures (from 1.2 ha to 4.4 hal over the period contributed to a decrease in average monthly concentrate feed and health costs from TTS9.000 to TTS3,SOO despite a 10fold increase in the sheep population. Consequently ewe mortality rates due to pregnancy toxaemia have been reduced from 36%.to 0.7% with corresponding decreases in lamb mortality from 6S% to 20%. With an increase in the size ofthe breeding flock from 23 to 226 breeding ewes between October 1994 and October 1997, 􀀀~􀀀a􀀀r􀀀i􀀀l􀀀i􀀀s􀀀s􀀀a Farms is on target to stabilize at SOO breeding ewes by the end of 1998 without any external sourcing ofbreeding ewes. This will facilitate an estimated target annual production of22,000 kg ofdressed lamb carcasses supplied under strict market quality control parameters compared to a 700 kg production level in 1994. It is expected that revenues from sheep production at Marilissa will ii)crease from the 1994 level ofTTS1S,000 to TTSS30,000 via supplies to the CARDI- developed niche market alone.

description: One's present repertoire of antibodies encodes the history of one's past immunological experience. Can the present autoantibody repertoire be consulted to predict resistance or susceptibility to the future development of an autoimmune disease? Here we developed an antigen microarray chip and used bioinformatic analysis to study a model of type 1 diabetes developing in non-obese diabetic (NOD) male mice in which the disease was accelerated and synchronized by exposing the mice to cyclophosphamide at 4 weeks of age. We obtained sera from 19 individual mice, treated the mice to induce cyclophosphamide-accelerated diabetes (CAD), and found, as expected, that 9 mice became severely diabetic while 10 mice permanently resisted diabetes. We again obtained serum from each mouse afterCAD induction. We then analyzed the patterns of antibodies in the individualmice to 266 different antigens spotted on the antigen chip. We identified a select panel of 27 different antigens (10% of the array) that revealed a pattern of IgG antibody reactivity in the pre-CAD serathat discriminated between the mice resistant or susceptible to CAD with 100% sensitivity and 82% specificity (p=0.017). Surprisingly, the set of IgG antibodies that was informative before CAD induction did not separate the resistant and susceptible groups after the onset of CAD; new antigens became criticalfor post-CAD repertoire discrimination. Thus, at least for a model disease, present antibody repertoires can predict future disease; predictive and diagnostic repertoires can differ; and decisive information about immune system behavior can be mined by bioinformatic technology. Repertoires matter.

The hidden phase of Fock states; quantum non-local effects

description: We revisit the question of how a definite phase between Bose-Einstein condensates can spontaneously appear under the effect of measurements. We first consider a system that is the juxtaposition of two subsystems in Fock states with high populations, and assume that successive individual position measurements are performed. Initially, the relative phase is totally undefined, and no interference effect takes place in the first position measurement. But, while successive measurements are accumulated, the relative phase becomes better and better known, and a clear interference pattern emerges. It turns out that all observed results can be interpreted in terms of a pre-existing, but totally unknown, relative phase, which remains exactly constant during the experiment. We then generalize the results to more condensates. We also consider other initial quantum states than pure Fock states, and distinguish between intrinsic phase of a quantum state and phase induced by measurements. Finally, we examine the case of multiple condensates of spin states. We discuss a curious quantum effect, where the measurement of the spin angular momentum of a small number of particles can induce a big angular momentum in a much larger assembly of particles, even at an arbitrary distance. This spin observable can be macroscopic, assimilable to the pointer of a measurement apparatus, which illustrates the non-locality of quantum mechanics with particular clarity.

Productivity Analysis

description: The effect ofmob-grazing interval (35. 70, 105 and 140 d) on forage dry matter yield, crude protein concentration, in vitro organic matter disappearance (lVOMD) and persistence ofgrass-legume mixtures was studied on a private ranch located on a leeward site (<900 mm annual rainfall) on St. Croix. Seasonal forage dry matter (DM) yield (7.6 Mg ha") was not affected (P>0.05) by grazing interval because of drought towards the end of the season. Crude protein (CF') concentration in both legume (145-240) and grass (50-124) declined quadratically with increasing grazing interval. Although NOMD of forage also generally declined (P<0.05) with increasing grazing interval, differences in varietal response were observed.. The decline in IVOMD with forage maturity for desmanthus (Desmanthus virgatus) and glycine (Neonotonia wightii] occurred in a quadratic manner whereas the decline for leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) and teramnus (Teramnus labialts) was linear. 'Bisset' creeping bluegrass (Bothriochloa pertusa) retained a higher NOMD with increasing grazing interval than the guinea grass (Panicum maximum). 'Bambatsi' panicum (Panicum coloratum var, Makarikariense) and leucaena were more persistent at the 70-105 grazing interval than the other forages at this dry site.
