description: It is common understanding that multilayered dielectric metamaterials, in the regime of deeply subwavelength layers, are accurately described by simple effective-medium models based on mixing formulas that do not depend on the spatial arrangement. In the wake of recent studies that have shown counterintuitive examples of periodic and aperiodic (orderly or random) scenarios in which this premise breaks down, we study here the effects of deterministic disorder. With specific reference to a model based on Golay-Rudin-Shapiro sequences, we illustrate certain peculiar boundary effects that can occur in finite-size dielectric multilayers, leading to anomalous light-transport properties that are in stark contrast with the predictions from conventional effective-medium theory. Via parametric and comparative studies, we elucidate the underlying physical mechanisms, also highlighting similarities and differences with respect to previously studied geometries. Our outcomes may inspire potential applications to optical sensing, switching and lasing.

description: In this paper we analyse a generalization of vertical monopolies in which monopoly suppliers trade essential inputs with one another. The most obvious applications of the model, which we call symbiotic production, are to postal and telecommunications services. We show how producers can use per-unit tariffs to achieve cooperative outcomes without colluding directly over consumer prices. We then show the firms have an incentive to collude in the setting of tariffs but that such collusion will lower consumer prices. In a world of monopoly suppliers, cartelization of the monopolies improves consumer welfare. This benign view of cartels assumes that the monopoly suppliers are otherwise unfettered. In contrast, if the constituent monopolies are regulated, we show that collusion enables the firms to completely undo the restraints of regulation. The model has important policy implications for the international telecommunications market.

Rhamnophis aethiopissa

description: Rhamnophis aethiopissa (Günther, 1862)
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 1 specimen (MRAC 29717), Agome, near Atakpame.
MORPHOLOGY. — TL 840 mm; 17 MSR smooth and oblique, vertebral row keeled; 166 Ven, keeled; 146 Sc, paired; anal divided; 8 supralabials; 9 infralabials; 1 preocular; 2 postoculars; 1 temporal.
 DISTRIBUTION. — This species is a forest-dweller. On the basis of voucher specimens, Hulselmans et al. (1970) and Leaché et al. (2006) also mentioned its occurrence in ER IV. Werner (1898), Sternfeld (1908b) and Loveridge (1944) recorded it from Adele (Bismarkburg), Kete Kratchi and Missahohe.
REMARK
 This species is sometimes placed in the genus Thrasops Hallowell, 1857. In absence of revision of this group of arboreal species, we follow Williams & Wallach (1989) and Pauwels & Vande Weghe (2008) and recognize the validity of the genus Rhamnophis Günther, 1862. It should be noted that the specific nomen aethiopissa is not an adjective but a noun in apposition, meaning “an Aethiopian woman”.

description: Suppose a sequence of random variables {X_n} has negative drift when above a certain threshold and has increments bounded in L^p. When p>2 this implies that EX_n is bounded above by a constant independent of n and the particular sequence {X_n}. When p=<2 there are counterexamples showing this does not hold. In general, increments bounded in L^p lead to a uniform L^r bound on X_n^+ for any r=p-1. These results are motivated by questions about stability of queueing networks.

description: The idea that manganese oxide (MnO2) sustains the reactivity of metallic iron (Fe0) is investigated in this study. A multi-elemental aqueous system containing CrVI, CuII, MoVI, SbV, UVI, and ZnII (each about 100 μM) was used as model solution. Non-disturbed batch experiments were performed at initial pH values 4.0 and 6.0 for one month. Three different systems were investigated: (i) MnO2 alone, (ii) “Fe0 + sand”, and (iii) “Fe0 + MnO2”. The experimental vessels contained either: (i) no material (blank), (ii) up to 9.0 g/L of MnO2, or (iii) 5 g/L Fe0 and 0 to 9.0 g/L MnO2 or sand. Results clearly revealed quantitative contaminant removal (> 70 %) confirming the suitability of Fe0 as a highly efficient reactive material for the removal of the 6 tested metallic ions over a pH range applicable to environmental waters. Results also corroborated the suitability of MnO2 to sustain the long-term Fe0 reactivity. Further studies in dynamic systems (column studies) are necessary to fine-tune the use of MnO2 in Fe0 filtration systems.
Role of SAP102 in mutant Huntingtin-mediated regulation of NMDA receptor function in the YAC transgenic mouse model of Huntington Disease
Creators: name: Fan, Jing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Huntington disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease, which is caused by polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the protein huntingtin (htt). Increasing evidence suggests that the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor plays a role in mediating death of striatal medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs) observed in HD. For example, previous results from our laboratory demonstrate that NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-mediated current and toxicity is increased in neurons from the Yeast Artificial Chromosome (YAC) transgenic mouse model expressing huntingtin with 72 polyQ (YAC72), and suggest that an increase in surface NMDAR number is the trigger for increased cytosolic calcium, ultimately resulting in activation of caspases and leading to neuronal death. Here, I hypothesize that potentiation of NMDAR surface expression and excitotoxicity by mutant htt (mhtt) may be mediated in part by interaction with membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs) such as PSD-95 or SAP102. I report the novel finding that htt is co-immunoprecipitated with SAP102 in HEK293T cells and in striatal tissue from wild-type and YAC transgenic mice, but that the association of SAP102 with the NMDAR NR2B subunit or htt is not altered by htt polyQ length. However, by using a Tat-NR2B9c peptide to block binding between NR2B and either SAP 102 or PSD-95 in cultured striatal neurons, I show that this interaction plays a key role in mediating the increase in NMDAR surface expression and NMDA-induced toxicity observed with mhtt expression. Moreover, the Tat-NR2B9c peptide has no effect on glutamate receptor 1 (GluRl) surface expression or staurosporine-induced toxicity. The mechanism by which SAP 102 and/or PSD-95 mediates the altered NMDAR trafficking and function observed with mhtt expression remains to be explored. My research may help to elucidate further the mechanisms underlying enhanced excitotoxicity in HD.
Geometry and formation of gypsum veins in mudstones at Watchet, Somerset, SW England
Creators: name: PHILIPP, SONJA L.
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2008

description: Gypsum veins and faults were studied in red mudstones of the Upper Triassic Mercia Mudstone Group, in the Bristol Channel Basin, exposed in E–W-trending cliffs at Watchet on the Somerset Coast (SW England). In nodular gypsum horizons, individual gypsum nodules are connected by subhorizontal gypsum veins. In evaporite-free mudstone layers, however, dense anastomosing networks of gypsum veins occur. In a 300 m long profile dissected by 28 (mostly) normal faults with small displacements, 24 faults have veins following them, indicating palaeofluid transport along the fault planes. Ninety-seven cross-cutting relationships and mostly perpendicular vein fibres indicate that the veins are primarily extension fractures. The thickest veins in the vein network are subhorizontal (160 measurements), indicating a vertical orientation of the minimum principal compressive stress (horizontal basin compression). Such a stress state may have existed during basin inversion associated with Alpine compression (late Cretaceous to early Tertiary). I propose that the gypsum veins are the result of hydrofracturing. In the gypsum nodules, then presumably consisting of anhydrite, overpressure was generated related to the hydration of anhydrite to gypsum. Stress concentration around the nodules led to rupturing and injection of thin subhorizontal hydrofractures. Some of the calcium-sulphate saturated fluids were then transported upwards along the faults and gained access to evaporite-free mudstone layers where dense anastomosing vein networks developed. Most veins were arrested during their propagation by layers with contrasting mechanical properties (stress barriers). Some veins, however, propagated through the barriers along faults to shallower levels. The dense networks of mineral veins observed in Watchet indicate that hydrofractures can generate a very high temporary permeability in fluid reservoirs.
Lessons from the European Sovereign Debt Crisis : Towards a European Sovereign Debt Restructuring Mechanism
Creators: name: Tilak, Karun
Publisher: name: American University

description: The recent global financial crisis has highlighted the tensions created by both a lack of fiscal discipline and a single monetary policy for the disparate members of the EMU. Greece, Ireland, and Portugal have already opted for IMF and EU crisis financing in the face of mounting debt burdens. The quandary now facing the European Union is how to deal with such crises. This paper examines the effectiveness of the newly developed European crisis resolution mechanisms in two ways. First, it quantitatively analyzes the impact of the European Financial Stability Facility on market perceptions of risk and draws some implications for the proposed European Stability Mechanism. Second, it returns to a previous debate waged between statutory and contractual mechanisms for restructuring sovereign debt, and examines the applicability of these critiques in the specific case of the ESM.

A vezető személye, valamint a fejlődésben betöltött szerepe a mai napig igen vitatott kérdéskör, ezért a cikk szemlélteti, milyen lehetséges ok-okozati összefüggések lelhetőek fel az egyik, illetve a másik oldal véleményét illetően. ---------- The article summarizes the influence of political leaders on institutions which, according to institutional economics, directly influences economic growth. Furthermore, the study reviews the literature in which leadership itself becomes a significant factor as a possible explanation for the reason for economic growth through institutional change. Although political leader or its role in growth is still viewed as a controversial issue in economics, the paper emphasises what kind of cause-effect relations exist between political leaders and economic growth and reveals that leaders do matter directly in economic performance by the formation of institutions.

description: $\text{Bi}_2\text{Se}_3$ is an ideal three-dimensional topological insulator in which the chemical potential can be brought into the bulk band gap with antimony doping. Here, we utilize ultrafast time-resolved transient reflectivity to characterize the photoexcited carrier decay in $\text{Bi}_{2-x}\text{Sb}_x\text{Se}_3$ nanoplatelets. We report a substantial slowing of the bulk carrier relaxation time in bulk-insulating $\text{Bi}_{2-x}\text{Sb}_x\text{Se}_3$ nanoplatelets as compared to $n$-type bulk-metallic $\text{Bi}_2\text{Se}_3$ at low temperatures, which approaches $3.3 \text{ ns}$ in the zero pump fluence limit. This long-lived decay is correlated across different fluences and antimony concentrations, revealing unique decay dynamics not present in $n$-type $\text{Bi}_2\text{Se}_3$, namely the slow bimolecular recombination of bulk carriers.

description: Moisture expansion in natural building stones is considered one of the most important factors affecting their weathering and deterioration. The processes that may be responsible for the expansion under determinate relative humidity (hygric dilatation) and water-saturated conditions (hydric dilatation) are generally attributed to the presence of swellable clay minerals. In contrast to this assumption, our investigations show that moisture expansion also takes place in volcanic tuff building stones almost free from clay minerals. To provide a deeper understanding of the processes, swelling and deterioration were performed on 14 volcanic tuffs used as important building stones of different ages, compositions and weathering stages from Mexico, Germany and Hungary. The investigations undertaken include extensive chemical, petrophysical and fabric analyses. The samples show a wide range of effective porosity, microporosity, capillary water absorption, moisture expansion, and CEC values. High moisture expansion does not seem to depend on clay mineral content alone. We also observed that there is no significant effect on dilatation if clay minerals are present but only form a thin coat on the outer shell of bigger pores. Moreover, we identified a correlation between microporosity, average pore radius and moisture expansion. The investigations highlight the fact that moisture expansion cannot only be attributed to swellable clay minerals, and suggest that the presence and accumulation of micropores and their average radius and distribution play an important role for non-clay associated swelling intensity, which can most probably be attributed to the disjoining pressure.

description: There is growing interest in quantum-spacetime models in which small departures from Lorentz symmetry are governed by the Planck scale. In particular, several studies have considered the possibility that these small violations of Lorentz symmetry may affect various astrophysical observations, such as the evaluation of the GZK limit for cosmic rays, the interaction of TeV photons with the Far Infrared Background and the arrival time of photons with different energies from cosmological sources. We show that the same Planck-scale departures from Lorentz symmetry that lead to a modification of the GZK limit which would be consistent with the observations reported by AGASA, also have significant implications for the evaluation of the Bahcall-Waxman bound on the flux of high-energy neutrinos produced by photo-meson interactions in sources of size not much larger than the proton photo-meson mean free path.

description: Európa lakossága elöregedő tendenciát mutat már a korai jövőre nézve, ebben az évszázadban. Az európai kontinens lakossága számára ez egyre több kihívást fog jelenteni elsőre, de ugyanakkor remek lehetőségekkel párosulhat. Az Európai Unió szakemberei elkezdték kidolgozni a programokat, amelyek a kutatások alapján összegyűjtött információk feldolgozásával megoldási lehetőségeket, alternatívákat kínálnak az idősek javuló életkörülményei számára. Viszont a menthetetlen elöregedés, az időskorúak számának jelentős megnövekedése jól kalkulálható tényező az üzleti szféra számára is. Erre az új szegmensre a piac innovatív szereplői már ki is dolgozták az idősek gazdasága vagy ezüst gazdaság kifejezést. Az induló gazdasági versenyre alapozva több EU-tagállamban már el is indultak olyan „Living Lab” névre hallgató kísérleti programok, amelyek részben magántőke bevonásával, innovatív technológiai megoldásokat készítenek elő az élet „szép korúi” számára. Magyarország hatalmas piaci lehetőségek előtt áll az időskorúak gazdaságának felfuttatása tekintetében, amivel akár világpiacra is berobbanhat. Az évtizedes gyógyturizmus fürdőfejlesztései után néhány egészségturisztikai sikerágazat kivételével viszont kevés siker mutatkozik még ebben idehaza az egészségügyi jogszabályi környezet hiányosságai következtében. Jelenleg ezért nem tolakodnak a tőkeerős nemzetközi szereplők a hazai piacon, de ez nemsokára változhat. ---------- The population of Europe is aging, a tendency likely to last into the future. For the continent, this poses more and more challenges, but at the same time, it can also offer excellent opportunities. Experts of the European Union have started working on programmes which are to offer solutions and alternatives, based on processing information collected through research. The inevitable aging and the increasing number of old age citizens can be exploited by the business sector. Market stakeholders have already produced the term “silver economy” for this new sector. Based on the competition just starting, EU member states have been the first to launch experimental programs called Living Lab which, partly with the help of private funds, prepare innovative technological solutions for people in their “twilight years.” Hungary is looking at huge market opportunities regarding the silver economy; the country may even break into the world market. Due to gaps in the legal context, there seems to have been little success after developments in spa tourism a decade ago, except for certain successful sectors in health tourism. But the market can change anytime soon.

description: Fabrics of Cambrian sedimentary dykes formed in Proterozoic granites of the Västervik area (Southeast Sweden) evidence repeated opening/filling and mineralisation/cementation events under varying conditions. Diagnostic features include (1) wall-parallel boundaries between epiclastic fillings and (2) early formed dyke sediments that appear as lithoclasts in subsequently formed sedimentary fillings. The psammitic components mostly consist of well-rounded quartz grains related to a coastal environment and fragments from the granitic host rock. Platy calcitic fragments embedded in the epiclastic matrix originally formed as microveins within already-lithified dyke sediments and the adjacent host rock. Convex downward-pointing, internal sagging structures, together with the preferred orientation of compositional boundaries and long axes of grains/rock fragments parallel to the dyke walls, are interpreted as the result of suction-controlled flow of unconsolidated fillings during episodes of downward dyke growth. Pressure solution of quartz grains are evidence of extensional phases with dyke propagation that were interrupted by phases of horizontal compression normal to the dyke walls. The N–S and NE–SW striking sedimentary dykes formed by opening of a pre-existing joint set during NW–SE oriented rifting during the Cambrian.

description: The advanced LIGO O3a run catalog has been recently published, and it includes several events with unexpected mass properties, including mergers with individual masses in the lower and upper mass gaps, as well as mergers with unusually small mass ratios between the binary components. Here we entertain the possibility that these outliers are the outcome of hierarchical mergers of black holes or neutron stars in the dense environments of globular clusters. We use the coagulation equation to study the evolution of the black hole mass function within a typical cluster. Our prescription allows us to monitor how various global quantities change with time, such as the total mass and number of compact objects in the cluster, its overall merger rate, and the probability to form intermediate-mass black holes via a runaway process. By accounting for the LIGO observational bias, we predict the merger event distributions with respect to various variables such as the individual masses M1 and M2, their ratio q, and redshift z, and we compare our predictions with the published O3a data. We study how these distributions depend on the merger-rate and ejections parameters and produce forecasts for the (tight) constraints that can be placed on our model parameters using the future dataset of the O5 run. Finally, we also consider the presence of a static channel with no coagulation producing merger events alongside the dynamic channel, finding that the two can be distinguished based solely on the merger mass distribution with future O5 data.

description: Charmed nuclei are investigated utilizing $Λ_c N$ and $Σ_c N$ interactions that have been extrapolated from lattice QCD simulations at unphysical masses of $m_π= 410$--$570$ MeV to the physical point using chiral effective field theory as guideline. Calculations of the energies of $Λ_c$ single-particle bound states for various charmed nuclei from $^{\ 5}_{Λ_c}$Li to $^{209}_{Λ_c}$Bi are performed using a perturbative many-body approach. This approach allows one to determine the finite nuclei $Λ_c$ self-energy from which the energies of the different bound states can be obtained. Though the $Λ_c N$ interaction inferred from the lattice results is only moderately attractive, it supports the existence of charmed nuclei. Already the lightest nucleus considered is found to be bound. The spin-orbit splitting of the p- and d-wave states turns out to be small, as in the case of single $Λ$ hypernuclei. Additional calculations based on the Faddeev-Yakubovsky equations suggest that also $A=4$ systems involving a $Λ_c$ baryon are likely to be bound, but exclude a bound $^{\, 3}_{Λ_c}$He state.

description: Motivated by a concern for Chinese citizens who have no choice but to live with the consequences of environmental deterioration, this paper provides policy recommendations to reconcile China’s promotion of a domestic consumer economy as the basis of future economic growth with its pressing environmental concerns. By analyzing publications and qualitative research in economic development, environmental studies, and consumerism in conjunction with statements released by the Chinese government, this paper examines the implications of a growing domestic consumer economy. Previous research has centered on China’s high-end consumption, yet middle and even lower class citizens desire material goods as a means of improving their social status relative to their wealthier peers. Eventually, 1.3 billion Chinese consuming by Western standards will engender disastrous environmental consequences on a domestic and international scale. Furthermore, China’s influence in the developing world presents a critical juncture: an alternative paradigm of economic development must be implemented before additional countries follow China’s environmentally destructive method of development.

description: The Agricultural Sector in Puerto Rico from 1998 to 2002 reported an annual mean Gross Agricultural Income (GAI) at farm level of $718.9 million. During this six-year period the livestock and crop commodities generated a mean gross income of $390.1 and $231.0 million, respectively. Dairy production was the most important commodity; it generated an annual mean gross income of $193.7 million, 26.9% of the total GAI. The principal crops and their mean gross income in millions were: plantain, $48.6; coffee, $38.4; ornamentals, $33.5; bananas, $13.3; and mango, $12.8. Besides their economic contribution, coffee, plantain, and bananas have a social and environmental importance because the production areas are located mostly in the central mountain region in Puerto Rico. The agricultural sector is the major source of income and employment in the central mountain area. In this area rise the rivers and lakes utilized as water sources for human and agricultural consumption. The established invasive species, or the ones with establishment potential, that could impact economically the principal agricultural commodities were identified. The invasive species at a pre-entry level identified for the crop commodities are coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei); black sigatoka for plantain and banana (Mycosphaerella fijiensis); and the mango seed weevil (Sternochetus mangiferae). The established invasive species identified for dairy production are the Johnei Disease causal agent (Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis) and the parasite tick (Boophilus microplus). This study will emphasize the crop invasive species. The economic impact of the invasive species on the agricultural sector was classified as direct impact to the commodity, the market, and the trade; as indirect impact on the environment, health, and other economic sectors.

description: All discretized numerical models contain modelling errors - this reality is amplified when reduced-order models are used. The ability to accurately approximate modelling errors informs statistics on model confidence and improves quantitative results from frameworks using numerical models in prediction, tomography, and signal processing. Further to this, the compensation of highly nonlinear and non-Gaussian modelling errors, arising in many ill-conditioned systems aiming to capture complex physics, is a historically difficult task. In this work, we address this challenge by proposing a neural network approach capable of accurately approximating and compensating for such modelling errors in augmented direct and inverse problems. The viability of the approach is demonstrated using simulated and experimental data arising from differing physical direct and inverse problems.

description: The existence of a stream of tidally stripped stars from the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy demonstrates that the Milky Way is still in the process of accreting mass. More recently, an extensive stream of stars has been uncovered in the halo of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), revealing that it too is cannibalizing a small companion. This paper reports the recent observations of this stream, determining it spatial and kinematic properties, and tracing its three-dimensional structure, as well as describing future observations and what we may learn about the Andromeda galaxy from this giant tidal stream.

description: In this work we construct 36 tetraquark configurations for the $1S$-, $1P$-, and $2S$-wave states, and make a prediction of the mass spectrum for the tetraquark $ss\bar{s}\bar{s}$ system in the framework of a nonrelativistic potential quark model without the diquark-antidiquark approximation. The model parameters are well determined by our previous study of the strangeonium spectrum. We find that the resonances $f_0(2200)$ and $f_2(2340)$ may favor the assignments of ground states $T_{(ss\bar{s}\bar{s})0^{++}}(2218)$ and $T_{(ss\bar{s}\bar{s})2^{++}}(2378)$, respectively, and the newly observed $X(2500)$ at BESIII may be a candidate of the lowest mass $1P$-wave $0^{-+}$ state $T_{(ss\bar{s}\bar{s})0^{-+}}(2481)$. Signals for the other $0^{++}$ ground state $T_{(ss\bar{s}\bar{s})0^{++}}(2440)$ may also have been observed in the $ϕϕ$ invariant mass spectrum in $J/ψ\toγϕϕ$ at BESIII. The masses of the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ $T_{ss\bar{s}\bar{s}}$ states are predicted to be in the range of $\sim 2.44-2.99$ GeV, which indicates that the $ϕ(2170)$ resonance may not be a good candidate of the $T_{ss\bar{s}\bar{s}}$ state. This study may provide a useful guidance for searching for the $T_{ss\bar{s}\bar{s}}$ states in experiments.
