description: We have found a peculiar radio source in the field of one of the hottest known clusters of galaxies 1E0657-56. It is slightly extended, highly polarised (54% at 8.8GHz) and has a very steep spectrum, with alpha ~ -1 at 1.3 GHz, steepening to ~ -1.5 at 8.8GHz (S \propto nu^alpha). No extragalactic sources are known with such high integrated polarisation, and sources with spectra as steep as this are rare. In this paper, we report the unusual properties of the source J06587-5558 and speculate on its origin and optical identification.

description: The Lewis solutions describe the exterior gravitational field produced by infinitely long rotating cylinders, and are useful models for global gravitational effects. When the metric parameters are real (Weyl class), the exterior metrics of rotating and static cylinders are locally indistinguishable, but known to globally differ. The significance of this difference, both in terms of physical effects (gravitomagnetism) and of the mathematical invariants that detect the rotation, remain open problems in the literature. In this work we show that, by a rigid coordinate rotation, the Weyl class metric can be put into a "canonical" form where the Killing vector field $\partial_{t}$ is time-like everywhere, and which depends explicitly only on three parameters with a clear physical significance: the Komar mass and angular momentum per unit length, plus the angle deficit. This new form of the metric reveals that the two settings differ only at the level of the gravitomagnetic vector potential which, for a rotating cylinder, cannot be eliminated by any global coordinate transformation. It manifests itself in the Sagnac and gravitomagnetic clock effects. The situation is seen to mirror the electromagnetic field of a rotating charged cylinder, which likewise differs from the static case only in the vector potential, responsible for the Aharonov-Bohm effect, formally analogous to the Sagnac effect. The geometrical distinction between the two solutions is also discussed, and the notions of local and global staticity revisited. The matching in canonical form to the van Stockum interior cylinder is also addressed.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The content of intramuscular fat (IMF) is one of the most important factors that has a large impact on meat quality, and it is an effective way to improve IMF according to marker-assisted selection (MAS). Fatty-acid synthase (FASN) is a key gene in meat lipid deposition and fatty acid composition. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the expression profile of FASN in mRNA and protein levels using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western-blot methods. In addition, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within FASN in 921 Hu rams with IMF content records were investigated using DNA-pooling sequencing and improved multiple ligase detection reaction (iMLDR) methods. Consequently, the highest mRNA expression level of FASN was observed in the perinephric fat, and the lowest in the liver among the 11 tissues analyzed, while no significant difference was found in mRNA and protein expression levels in longissimus dorsi among individuals with different IMF contents. A total of 10 putative SNPs were identified within FASN, and 9 of them can be genotyped by iMLDR method. Notably, two SNPs were significantly associated with IMF content, including NC_040262.1: g.5157 A > G in intron 5 (p = 0.046) and NC_040262.1: g.9413 T > C in intron 16 (p = 0.041), which supply molecular markers for improving meat quality in sheep breeding.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit den Grenzen und Möglichkeiten beraterischen Handelns im Kontext des §219 StGB. Die Erkenntnisse sind auf Grundlage der Durchführung von vier Expert*inneninterviews mit Berater*innen aus der Schwangerschaftskonfliktberatung gewonnen worden. Die Auswertung der Interviews ist mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring (2015) erfolgt. Zentrale Erkenntnisse der Arbeit sind die in Teilen wahrgenommene Begrenzung durch den Pflichtkontext seitens der Berater*innen und die einheitliche Kritik an der Verortung im StGB. Gleichzeitig wurde die Erkenntnis gewonnen, dass die Freiwilligkeit mehrheitlich als Ideal gesehen, die tägliche Arbeit in dem Minimalkompromiss der Gesetzgebung jedoch akzeptiert wird. Zentrale theoretische Grundlagen lieferten dabei Helfferich (2015) und Franz (2015) sowie Koschorke (2019) mit ihren Ausführungen zum Spannungsfeld der Schwangerschaftskonfliktberatung.

description: A large number of small-scale commercial quail farms or 'QUAILARY have been established in Bangladesh in the recent years. The present study is based on primary data collected from 76 quail farms in Dhaka metropolitan city. The findings of the study clearly indicate that the large layer quail farms are more profit earners than the small layer farms. The results also show that chicks or pullet production is highly profitable, compared to egg production. Cobb-Douglas production function analysis suggests that most of the selected variables had significant impact on the quail farmers' return. The study identified a number of problems of raising quail such as high prices of feed, inadequate institutional credit, lack of veterinary services and medicine, lack of training on quail husbandry and inadequate product marketing facilities. Based on the research of the study, a tentative plan for setting up of a quail layer farm is also developed.

description: Energy-efficient technologies offer considerable promise for reducing the financial costs and environmental damages associated with energy use, but these technologies appear not to be adopted by consumers and businesses to the degree that would apparently be justified, even on a purely financial basis. We present two complementary frameworks for understanding this so-called “energy paradox” or “energy-efficiency gap.” First, we build on the previous literature by dividing potential explanations for the energy-efficiency gap into three categories: market failures, behavioral anomalies, and model and measurement errors. Second, we posit that it is useful to think in terms of the fundamental elements of cost-minimizing energy-efficiency decisions. This provides a decomposition that organizes thinking around four questions. First, are product offerings and pricing economically efficient? Second, are energy operating costs inefficiently priced and/or understood? Third, are product choices cost-minimizing in present value terms? Fourth, do other costs inhibit more energy-efficient decisions? We review empirical evidence on these questions, with an emphasis on recent advances, and offer suggestions for future research.

description: The Forkhead box factor 1 (FoxO1) gene plays a vital role in the growth and development of skeletal muscle. In the present study, expression analysis of the bovine FoxO1 gene exhibited the highest expression in longissimus dorsi muscle followed by its expression in adipose tissue. Moreover, high mRNA expression of FoxO1 gene was found in differentiated bovine myoblasts and adipocytes at day 6 of induced differentiation (p < 0.05). The regulatory pattern of the bovine FoxO1 gene was investigated through screening and dual-luciferase activity of the 1.7 kb 5′UTR (untranslated region) within pGL3-basic vector and a core promoter region was explored at (-285/-27) upstream of the transcription start site. The transcription factors (TFs) MEF2A and HOXA5 within the core promoter region (-285/-27) were found as the regulatory cis-acting element. The siRNA interference of the TFs, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, and site-directed mutation validated that MEF2A and HOXA5 binding occurs in the region -285/-27 bp and performs an essential role in the transcriptional regulation of bovine FoxO1 gene. These findings explored the regulatory network mechanism of the FoxO1 gene in skeletal muscle development and adipogenesis for the bovine breed improvement program.

description: We consider an alternative warm inflationary scenario in which $n$ scalar fields coupled to a dissipative matter fluid cooperate to produce power--law inflation. The scalar fields are driven by an exponential potential and the bulk dissipative pressure coefficient is linear in the expansion rate. We find that the entropy of the fluid attains its asymptotic value in a characteristic time proportional to the square of the number of fields. This scenario remains nearly isothermal along the inflationary stage. The perturbations in energy density and entropy are studied in the long--wavelength regime and seen to grow roughly as the square of the scale factor. They are shown to be compatible with COBE measurements of the fluctuations in temperature of the CMB.

description: Gene integration at site-specific loci is a critical approach for understanding the function of a gene in cells or animals. The AAVS1 locus is a well-known safe harbor for human and mouse studies. In this study, we found an AAVS1-like sequence (pAAVS1) in the porcine genome using the Genome Browser and designed TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9 to target the pAAVS1. The efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9 in porcine cells was superior to that of TALEN. We added a loxP-lox2272 sequences to the pAAVS1 targeting donor vector containing GFP for further exchange of various transgenes via recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE). The donor vector and CRISPR/Cas9 components were transfected into porcine fibroblasts. Targeted cells of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homologous recombination were identified by antibiotic selection. Gene knock-in was confirmed by PCR. To induce RMCE, another donor vector containing the loxP-lox2272 and inducible Cre recombinase was cloned. The Cre-donor vector was transfected into the pAAVS1 targeted cell line, and RMCE was induced by adding doxycycline to the culture medium. RMCE in porcine fibroblasts was confirmed using PCR. In conclusion, gene targeting at the pAAVS1 and RMCE in porcine fibroblasts was successful. This technology will be useful for future porcine transgenesis studies and the generation of stable transgenic pigs.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers have recently emerged as a robust and tunable moiré system for studying and designing correlated electron physics. In this work, by combining large-scale first principle calculation and continuum model approach, we provide an electronic structure theory that maps long-period heterobilayer TMD superlattices onto diatomic crystals with cations and anions. We find that the interplay between moiré potential and Coulomb interaction leads to filling-dependent charge transfer between MM and MX regions several nanometers apart. We show that the insulating state at half-filling found in recent experiments on WSe$_2$/WS$_2$ is a charge-transfer insulator rather than a Mott-Hubbard insulator. Our work reveals the richness of simplicity in moiré quantum chemistry.

description: 360 nm and 700 nm thick GaAs layers were grown by MO MOCVD growth technique directly on compliant Si (100) substrate and on supper-lattice (SL) AlGaAs buffer layer. The XRD study revealed better structural quality for the sample grown on SL / por-Si buffer. AFM study revealed a smoother sample surface with blocks of more regular rectangular shape and larger size as well. Photoluminescence spectra of the samples revealed an energy shift of PL maximum intensity for both samples. Sample grown on SL buffer also showed higher PL intensity corresponding to better crystalline perfection.

description: In this study, we developed a technology for the production of jelly confiture based on natural hawthorn puree. The use of activated low-esterified hawthorn pectin in the recipe was shown to increase the complexing ability of the product in relation to zinc and lead ions, making it suitable for functional preventive nutrition. The final product was characterised by a bright orange-yellow colour, a distinct hawthorn taste and odour, and a gelatinous consistency. Evaluation of the product based on organoleptic, physicochemical, and microbiological indicators showed that it had high nutritional and physiological value due to its retention of native micronutrients, high content of potassium, magnesium, and calcium, and antioxidant activity. The use of this product in a daily diet can satisfy the daily need for physiologically active substances and food ingredients. Overall, the use of natural puree from wild hawthorn fruit in the technology of jelly confiture allows for the expansion of raw material sources in the production of confectionery products with high nutritional and physiological value.

description: The covariance of a stationary process $X$ is diagonalized by a Fourier transform. It does not take into account the complex Fourier phase and defines Gaussian maximum entropy models. We introduce a general family of phase harmonic covariance moments, which rely on complex phases to capture non-Gaussian properties. They are defined as the covariance of $\hat{H} (L X)$, where $L$ is a complex linear operator and $\hat{H} $ is a non-linear phase harmonic operator which multiplies the phase of each complex coefficient by integers. The operator $\hat{H} (L X)$ can also be calculated from rectifiers, which relates $\hat{H} (L X)$ to neural network coefficients. If $L$ is a Fourier transform then the covariance is a sparse matrix whose non-zero off-diagonal coefficients capture dependencies between frequencies. These coefficients have similarities with high order moment, but smaller statistical variabilities because $\hat{H} (L X)$ is Lipschitz. If $L$ is a complex wavelet transform then off-diagonal coefficients reveal dependencies across scales, which specify the geometry of local coherent structures. We introduce maximum entropy models conditioned by these wavelet phase harmonic covariances. The precision of these models is numerically evaluated to synthesize images of turbulent flows and other stationary processes.

description: The structure and quantum state of the reactants have a profound impact on the kinetics and dynamics of chemical reactions. Over the past years, significant advances have been made in the control and manipulation of molecules with external electric and magnetic fields in molecular-beam experiments for investigations of their state-, structure- and energy-specific chemical reactivity. Whereas studies for neutrals have so far mainly focused on weak-field-seeking species, we report here progress towards investigating reactions of strong-field-seeking molecules by introducing a novel crossed-molecular-beam experiment featuring an electrostatic deflector. The new setup enables the characterisation of state- and geometry-specific effects in reactions under single-collision conditions. As a proof of principle, we present results on the chemi-ionisation reaction of metastable neon atoms with rotationally state-selected carbonyl sulfide (OCS) molecules and show that the branching ratio between the Penning and dissociative ionisation pathways strongly depends on the initial rotational state of OCS.

description: Research funders like ACIAR typically invest in activities across a spectrum including human capacity building in pursuit of economic, social and environmental benefits. Ideally they allocate their resources such that the returns from these activities at the margin are similar but information about marginal returns is scarce. ACIAR has a strong record in estimating the impact of research leading to new technologies. There is much less experience in valuing research activities that add to human scientific capacity through either discrete training programs or the ‘learning by doing’ component of every research program. ACIAR commissioned Gordon and Chadwick (2007) to review the literature, devise an evaluation framework and apply their approach in two case studies. They partitioned an estimate of total welfare gains from a new technology between capacity building and research components, only qualitatively recognising ‘spillovers’ to later technology development. Here we review the literature in a research production framework, we assess the significance of capacity building activities within the total ACIAR program and we propose a tracer study of ACIAR trainees (Allwright Fellows) and partner institutions to develop an evidence based pathway from investment in ACIAR funded capacity building activities to identifiable specific changes in research outcomes.

description: Following recent advances in the local theory of current-algebraic orbifolds, we study various geometric properties of the general WZW orbifold, the general coset orbifold and a large class of (non-linear) sigma model orbifolds. Phase-space geometry is emphasized for the WZW orbifolds - while for the sigma model orbifolds we construct the corresponding {\it sigma model orbifold action}, which includes the previously-known general WZW orbifold action and general coset orbifold action as special cases. We focus throughout on the {\it twisted Einstein tensors} with diagonal monodromy, including the twisted Einstein metric, the twisted B field and the twisted torsion field of each orbifold sector. Finally, we present strong evidence for a conjectured set of {\it twisted Einstein equations} which should describe those sigma model orbifolds in this class which are also 1-loop conformal.

description: Over the last years, a new type of everyday commodities has appeared on the consumer market. These devices are endowed with computing and communication technology, and often networked, becoming a part of the "Internet of Things". Sound offers many benefits for the design of such commodities, in particular because it offers an alternative to the visual display for the increasingly shrinking, even disappearing, computers. These devices also pose a new and exciting challenge for Auditory Display and Sonic Interaction Design, because these objects facilitate new configurations of sound, materiality and interaction, and also will lead to new forms of how interactive, even autonomous, objects become meaningful in a socio-cultural context. In this thesis I set out to explore design approaches and interpretations of sound in interactive commodities. This exploration took place in a participatory, design-driven, sound-centered process, which led to the creation of prototypical instances of possible futures. These were the basis for a dialogical exploration of aesthetic experience and interpretational discourse. To achieve this in sufficient quantity and depth, I devised a series of design workshops as research labs. The design cases were created in the form of "Electroacoustic Wizard-of-Oz" experience mockups, which allowed the production and control of sound in realtime synchronization with the interactions. All projects were demonstrated and discussed with the participants of the respective workshop.

title: Service quality management in local authority sport and recreation services : a study of quality management methods in use and an evaluation of the efficacy of the ISO 9002 and Investors in People standards.
Creators: name: Lentell, Robert Neil
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 1999

description: Two key research questions are addressed in this thesis. First, to ascertain what quality management methods are in use in local authority sport and recreation services. Second, to evaluate the effectiveness in these services of two management standards, namely the international quality assurance standard ISO 9002 and the UK Investors in People (liP) standard. A review of the literature indicated that little was known about how managers of sport and recreation services attempted to secure quality of service. The first stage of primary research therefore provided this knowledge through a postal survey of managers of sports and recreation facilities. The survey was mailed to 1700 sports and recreation facility managers in the UK and 388 fully usable responses were received, a response rate of 23%. The results indicated that two standards, ISO 9002 and liP, were in frequent use. The second stage of primary research assessed the effectiveness of the two standards in local authority sports and recreation services. The literature review showed a considerable volume of work on the subjects of quality management, service quality and the quality of public sector services. However, little had been done to develop a method for evaluating quality management practice in services generally or in public sector services in particular. The method developed by the researcher for the second stage of primary research was case study investigation of eight local authority sport and recreation facilities which were managing to one of the above standards or to no quality management standard. Each case was investigated in two ways. The perceptions of members of the management team were explored through structured interviews, a total of 24 interviews being conducted. The perceptions of service users were studied through administration of a multivanate customer questionnaire, which received 820 fully usable responses. The management interviews showed support for ISO 9002 from those cases using it, and responses indicated that management of organisational processes was stronger than in the other cases. In those cases managing to the liP standard, the interviews showed that people management was more robust than in the other cases; however there was a more varied view of the utility of the liP standard. The customer survey showed that users of the liP registered facilities evaluated service quality more highly than did customers of the ISO 9002 registered ones. This was true of questions about staff quality and of those about processes and tangible assets. It was concluded that whilst ISO 9002 helped managers to deliver a more consistent and less wasteful service, these results were not visible to customers. liP had a beneficial effect on management of staff and this impacted on other service attributes

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit unternimmt den Versuch, den Blick auf die Lebenswelten gebärender trans* Männer in Deutschland und ihre individuelle Wahrnehmung der eigenen Lebensrealität zu richten, um diese mit ihren spezifischen Herausforderungen sichtbar zu machen. Es ist nicht von der Hand zu weisen, dass Männer, die Kinder in einer heteronormativ und zweigeschlechtlich geprägten Gesellschaft bekommen, bestehende normative Vorstellungen von Geschlecht, Körperlichkeit und Familie in Frage stellen. Im Hinblick auf diese Situation wird auch die Frage gestellt, wie gebärende trans* Männer in Deutschland den Umgang der Gesellschaft mit ihrer Schwangerschaft wahrnehmen und welche konkreten Konsequenzen dies auf ihre Lebenssituation hat. Darüber hinaus wird die Frage interessant, welchen Einfluss normative Vorstellungen von Geschlecht im Umfeld schließlich auch auf das Leben der schwangeren trans* Männer, sowie deren Wahrnehmung der eigenen Geschlechtsidentität haben.

description: The Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) produced in ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can be studied by measuring the modifications of jets formed by hard scattered partons which interact with the medium. We studied these modifications via angular correlations of jets with charged hadrons for jets with momenta 20 < $p_{\rm{T}}^{\rm{jet}}$ < 40 GeV/$c$ as a function of the associated particle momentum. The reaction plane fit (RPF) method is used in this analysis to remove the flow modulated background. The analysis of angular correlations for different orientations of the jet relative to the second order event plane allows for the study of the path length dependence of medium modifications to jets. We present the dependence of azimuthal angular correlations of charged hadrons with respect to the angle of the axis of a reconstructed jet relative to the event plane in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 2.76 TeV. The dependence of particle yields associated with jets on the angle of the jet with respect to the event plane is presented. Correlations at different angles relative to the event plane are compared through ratios and differences of the yield. No dependence of the results on the angle of the jet with respect to the event plane is observed within uncertainties, which is consistent with no significant path length dependence of the medium modifications for this observable.

Gravitational cubic-in-spin interaction at the next-to-leading post-Newtonian order

description: In this work we derive for the first time the complete gravitational cubic-in-spin effective action at the next-to-leading order in the post-Newtonian (PN) expansion for the interaction of generic compact binaries via the effective field theory for gravitating spinning objects, which we extend in this work. This sector, which enters at the fourth and a half PN (4.5PN) order for rapidly-rotating compact objects, completes finite-size effects up to this PN order, and is the first sector completed beyond the current state of the art for generic compact binary dynamics at the 4PN order. At this order in spins with gravitational nonlinearities we have to take into account additional terms, which arise from a new type of worldline couplings, due to the fact that at this order the Tulczyjew gauge for the rotational degrees of freedom, which involves the linear momentum, can no longer be approximated only in terms of the four-velocity. One of the main motivations for us to tackle this sector is also to see what happens when we go to a sector, which corresponds to the gravitational Compton scattering with quantum spins larger than one, and maybe possibly also get an insight on the inability to uniquely fix its amplitude from factorization when spins larger than two are involved. A general observation that we can clearly make already is that even-parity sectors in the order of the spin are easier to handle than odd ones. In the quantum context this corresponds to the greater ease of dealing with bosons compared to fermions.

description: The present investigation focused on the comprehensive analysis of the phenolic profile of Centaurea glastifolia L. (Asteraceae) and the assessment of its diverse biological activities. Utilising LC-MS/MS, the phytochemical composition of the 70% methanol extract of Centaurea glastifolia (CG-ME) was thoroughly elucidated, revealing the presence of 30 distinct phytochemical compounds. Notably, major phenolic constituents identified in the extract included quinic acid, chlorogenic acid, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside, luteolin, and apigenin-7-O-glucoside. The antioxidant, antibacterial, antiproliferative, and cytotoxic activities of CG-ME were investigated. The CG-ME exhibited a moderate capacity for scavenging DPPH radicals (IC50: 50.05 ± 1.58 µg/mL) and FRAP (63.96 ± 0.39 mg TE/g extract), indicating a moderate level of antioxidant activity. Moreover, CG-ME demonstrated significant antiproliferative effects (GI50: 1.10 and 1.30 µg/mL) on cancer cells (C6 and HTC cancer cell lines, respectively) while displaying low cytotoxicity towards normal cells (LC50: >1000 µg/mL). In terms of antibacterial activity, CG-ME was found to be inactive against tested both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains (MIC > 500 µg/mL). The extracts had a promising antiproliferative effect on C6, HeLa, and HT29 cancer cell lines with a less cytotoxic effect (10.5–14.2%) against normal cells.

description: We study the two-neutron correlations in the ground state of the weakly-bound two-neutron halo nucleus $^{22}$C sitting at the edge of the neutron-drip line and also in the unbound nucleus $^{26}$O sitting beyond the neutron dripline. For the present study, we employ a three-body (core$+n+n$) structure model designed for describing the two-neutron halo system by explicit inclusion of unbound continuum states of the subsystem (core$+n$). We use either a density-independent or a density-dependent contact-delta interaction to describe the neutron-neutron interaction and its strength is varied to fix the binding energy. We report the configuration mixing in the ground state of these systems for different choices of pairing interactions.
