description: This paper analyzes the relationship between local poverty and food manufacturing growth in Chile and Mexico using propensity score matching, differences in differences and spatial econometrics methods. We focus on food manufacturing as a sector with a number of characteristics that make it potentially pro-poor, and whose incentives for spatial distribution may either strengthen or dampen its poverty reduction potential. The overall results indicate that i) geographically, food manufacturing locates in relatively poor areas, but not in the poorest; ii) food manufacturing tends to locate in municipalities with more availability of labor and raw materials and with better infrastructure; iii) controlling for other factors, food manufacturing growth contributes to local poverty reduction both in terms of magnitude and speed.

description: Abstract: Loss of functional BRCA1 protein leads to defects in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR) and renders cells hypersensitive to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors used to treat BRCA1/2-deficient cancers. However, upon chronic treatment of BRCA1-mutant cells with PARP inhibitors, resistant clones can arise via several mechanisms, including loss of 53BP1 or its downstream co-factors. Defects in the 53BP1 axis partially restore the ability of a BRCA1-deficient cell to form RAD51 filaments at resected DSBs in a PALB2- and BRCA2-dependent manner, and thereby repair DSBs by HR. Here we show that depleting 53BP1 in BRCA1-null cells restores PALB2 accrual at resected DSBs. Moreover, we demonstrate that PALB2 DSB recruitment in BRCA1/53BP1-deficient cells is mediated by an interaction between PALB2’s chromatin associated motif (ChAM) and the nucleosome acidic patch region, which in 53BP1-expressing cells is bound by 53BP1’s ubiquitin-directed recruitment (UDR) domain.

Relaxation of surface charge on rotating dielectric spheres: Implications on dynamic electrorheological effects

description: We have examined the effect of an oscillatory rotation of a polarized dielectric particle. The rotational motion leads to a re-distribution of the polarization charge on the surface of the particle. We show that the time averaged steady-state dipole moment is along the field direction, but its magnitude is reduced by a factor which depends on the angular velocity of rotation. As a result, the rotational motion of the particle reduces the electrorheological effect. We further assume that the relaxation of polarized charge is arised from a finite conductivity of the particle or host medium. We calculate the relaxation time based on the Maxwell-Wagner theory, suitably generalized to include the rotational motion. Analytic expressions for the reduction factor and the relaxation time are given and their dependence on the angular velocity of rotation will be discussed.

description: We construct exact black hole solutions to Einstein gravity with nonlinear electrodynamic field. In these solutions, there are in general four parameters. They are physical mass, electric charge, cosmological constant and the coupling constant. Due to the presence of coupling constant, these solutions differ significantly from the Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter solution in Einstein-Maxwell gravity with a cosmological constant. In the first place, some of them are endowed with a topological defect on angle $θ$. Secondly, for the extreme charged black holes, the electric charge can be much larger or much smaller than the mass by varying the coupling constant. Thirdly, for very large coupling constant, the radius of event horizon for some black holes approaches $2M$ regardless of the electric charge. Lastly, some black holes are asymptotically neither flat nor de Sitter (or anti-de Sitter).

description: Abstract: We investigated effects of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) modulator caffeine on Na+ current (INa) activation and inactivation in intact loose-patch clamped murine skeletal muscle fibres subject to a double pulse procedure. INa activation was examined using 10-ms depolarising, V1, steps to varying voltages 0–80 mV positive to resting membrane potential. The dependence of the subsequent, INa inactivation on V1 was examined by superimposed, V2, steps to a fixed depolarising voltage. Current-voltage activation and inactivation curves indicated that adding 0.5 and 2 mM caffeine prior to establishing the patch seal respectively produced decreased (within 1 min) and increased (after ~2 min) peak INa followed by its recovery to pretreatment levels (after ~40 and ~30 min respectively). These changes accompanied negative shifts in the voltage dependence of INa inactivation (within 10 min) and subsequent superimposed positive activation and inactivation shifts, following 0.5 mM caffeine challenge. In contrast, 2 mM caffeine elicited delayed negative shifts in both activation and inactivation. These effects were abrogated if caffeine was added after establishing the patch seal or with RyR block by 10 μM dantrolene. These effects precisely paralleled previous reports of persistently (~10 min) increased cytosolic [Ca2+] with 0.5 mM, and an early peak rapidly succeeded by persistently reduced [Ca2+] likely reflecting gradual RyR inactivation with ≥1.0 mM caffeine. The latter findings suggested inhibitory effects of even resting cytosolic [Ca2+] on INa. They suggest potentially physiologically significant negative feedback regulation of RyR activity on Nav1.4 properties through increased or decreased local cytosolic [Ca2+], Ca2+-calmodulin and FKBP12.

description: La production annuelle moyenne de riz est estimée à environ 2 millions de tonnes selon les chiffres officiels, situant le Mali parmi les plus grands producteurs de riz du Sahel. Ce niveau relativement élevé est expliqué surtout par les grandes infrastructures d’irrigation réalisées qui ont permis une augmentation significative des surfaces cultivées et un accroissement des rendements. Le riz est le seul produit au Mali dont la production est au moins pour sa moitié, sécurisée par la constance de la maitrise de l’eau. Malgré les efforts du Gouvernement, la production locale de riz demeure fluctuante d’une campagne à une autre, tributaire des facteurs pluviométriques et du faible accès aux intrants des producteurs.

description: We construct hydrogen atmosphere models for magnetized neutron stars in radiative equilibrium with surface fields B=10^12-5x10^14 G and effective temperatures T_eff a few x 10^5-10^6 K by solving the full radiative transfer equations for both polarization modes in the magnetized hydrogen plasma. The atmospheres directly determine the characteristics of thermal emission from isolated neutron stars. We study the effects of vacuum polarization and bound atoms on the atmosphere structure and spectra. For the lower magnetic field models (B 10^12 G), the spectral features due to neutral atoms lie at extreme UV and very soft X-ray energies and therefore are not likely to be observed. However, the continuum flux is also different from the fully ionized case, especially at lower energies. For the higher magnetic field models, we find that vacuum polarization softens the high energy tail of the thermal spectrum. We show that this depression of continuum flux strongly suppresses not only the proton cyclotron line but also spectral features due to bound species; therefore spectral lines or features in thermal radiation are more difficult to observe when the neutron star magnetic field is > 10^14 G.

description: Cluster variation method (CVM) and path probability method (PPM) have generally been employed to study replacive phase transitions in alloy systems. Recently, displacive phase transitions have been explored within the realm of replacive phase transition in the CVM theoretical framework by viewing displaced atoms as different atomic species, i.e., by converting a freedom of atomic displacement to a configurational freedom. The same methodology is applied to the PPM calculations in this work, and the kinetics of displacive phase transition from tetragonal to cubic phases in ZrO2 are investigated as well as their equilibrium states.

description: Abstract: As the catalog of oncogenic driver mutations is expanding, it becomes clear that alterations in a given gene might have different functions and should not be lumped into one class. The transcription factor GATA3 is a paradigm of this. We investigated the functions of the most common GATA3 mutation (X308_Splice) and five additional mutations, which converge into a neoprotein that we called “neoGATA3,” associated with excellent prognosis in patients. Analysis of available molecular data from >3000 breast cancer patients revealed a dysregulation of the ER-dependent transcriptional response in tumors carrying neoGATA3-generating mutations. Mechanistic studies in vitro showed that neoGATA3 interferes with the transcriptional programs controlled by estrogen and progesterone receptors, without fully abrogating them. ChIP-Seq analysis indicated that ER binding is reduced in neoGATA3-expressing cells, especially at distal regions, suggesting that neoGATA3 interferes with the fine tuning of ER-dependent gene expression. This has opposite outputs in distinct hormonal context, having pro- or anti-proliferative effects, depending on the estrogen/progesterone ratio. Our data call for functional analyses of putative cancer drivers to guide clinical application.
Geometric frustration and magnetization plateaus in quantum spin and Bose-Hubbard models on tubes

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We study XXZ Heisenberg models on frustrated triangular lattices wrapped around a cylinder. In addition to having interesting magnetic phases, these models are equivalent to Bose-Hubbard models that describe the physical problem of adsorption of noble gases on the surface of carbon nanotubes. We find analytical results for the possible magnetization plateau values as a function of the wrapping vectors of the cylinder, which in general introduce extra geometric frustration besides the one due to the underlying triangular lattice. We show that for particular wrapping vectors $(N,0)$, which correspond to the zig-zag nanotubes, there is a macroscopically degenerate ground state in the classical Ising limit. The Hilbert space for the degenerate states can be enumerated by a mapping first into a path in a square lattice wrapped around a cylinder (a Bratteli diagram), and then to free fermions interacting with a single ${\bf Z}_N$ degree of freedom. From this model we obtain the spectrum in the anisotropic Heisenberg limit, showing that it is gapless. The continuum limit is a $c=1$ conformal field theory with compactification radius $R=N$ set by the physical tube radius. We show that the compactification radius quantization is exact in the projective $J_\perp/J_z \ll 1$ limit, and that higher order corrections reduce the value of $R$. The particular case of a $(N=2,0)$ tube, which corresponds to a 2-leg ladder with cross links, is studied separately and shown to be gapped because the fermion mapped problem contains superconducting pairing terms.

description: Abstract: Most studies of visual search across the life span have focused on classic feature and conjunction searches in which observers search for a fixed, simple shape target among relatively homogeneous distractors over a block of multiple trials. In the present study, we examine a more realistic task in which participants (4 to 25 years-old) look for images of real objects, presented amongst a heterogeneous array of other objects. The target is unique on every trial, unlike in previous developmental studies of visual search. Our new touchscreen-based “Pirate-Treasure” search also allows the testing of younger children within a video-game-like task. With this method, we tested a large sample (n = 293) of typically developing children and young adults. We assessed the developmental course of different search metrics like search efficiency, motor response differences, and accuracy (misses and false-alarm errors). Results show the most rapid time courses in development for accuracy. Search slopes reach the young adult level most slowly. The intercepts of the Reaction Time (RT) × Set Size function are often attributed to nonsearch perceptual and motor components of the task. The intercept time course is intermediate between accuracy and slope. Interestingly, these developmental functions follow time courses proposed in neuropsychological models of executive function development. This suggests that a single, video-game-like search task could be useful in routine assessments of cognitive development.

description: We investigate the stellar disk properties of a sample of 19 nearby spiral galaxies with low inclination and late Hubble type (Scd or later). We combine our high-resolution HST I-band observations with existing ground-based optical images to obtain surface brightness profiles that cover a high dynamic range of galactic radius. Most of these galaxies contain a nuclear star cluster, as discussed in a separate paper. The main goal of the present work is to constrain the properties of stellar bulges at these extremely late Hubble types. We find that the surface brightness profiles of the latest-type spirals are complex, with a wide range in shapes. We have sorted our sample in a sequence, starting with ``pure'' disk galaxies (approximately 30% of the sample). These galaxies have exponential stellar disks that extend inwards to within a few tens of pc from the nucleus, where the light from the nuclear cluster starts to dominate. They appear to be truly bulge-less systems. Progressing along the sequence, the galaxies show increasingly prominent deviations from a simple exponential disk model on kpc scales. Traditionally, such deviations have prompted ``bulge-disk'' decompositions. Indeed, the surface brightness profiles of these galaxies are generally well fit by adding a second (exponential) bulge component. However, we find that most surface brightness profiles can be fit equally well (or better) with a single Sersic-type R^{1/n} profile over the entire radial range of the galaxy, without requiring a separate ``bulge'' component. We warn in a general sense against identification of bulges solely on the basis of single-band surface brightness profiles. (abridged)

We find generally positive impacts of titling on investments, including strong gender-specific pathways of impact. Although female-headed households are less likely to make investments than male-headed households, female title holders are significantly more likely to make investments than male title holders (at least for labor intensive investments). We posit that these results are related to the systematically weaker rights of women in customary tenure systems, under which the security-enhancement of formal land title plays a relatively greater role in incentivizing long-term farm investments. Our results suggest the importance of facilitating access to titling mechanisms (and other tenure security mechanisms) by female farmers.

Land Economics/Use

description: Recent scholarship has shown that land rental and sales markets are increasingly important within customary tenure systems in Africa (e.g. Holden et al. 2009). The theoretical role of such markets in enhancing equitable access and production efficiency is of particular relevance for Africa’s agrarian economies, which are characterized by highly skewed distributions of land access (even within smallholder sector), low levels of productivity and high levels of poverty. Empirical assessments of land market performance have generally not found conclusive evidence of their impacts on the smallholder farm sector. This session will review several important recent empirical assessments of rural land rental markets in Eastern and Southern Africa, focusing on case studies in Kenya, Malawi and Zambia, and West Africa, in Côte d’Ivoire. We will attempt to synthesize what we know about the current status of rental market development in the region, focusing on addressing several key questions: What are the temporal and spatial trends of rental market development? Who is participating in these markets? What are the impacts on smallholder efficiency, equity and household welfare? In addition to summarizing the available evidence, we will attempt to clarify the most appropriate ways for agricultural policy to engage with land market development and will highlight areas requiring further research.

description: We study the possibility of topological superconductivity in the noncentrosymmetric monolayer and trilayer TaS$_2$ with out-of-plane mirror symmetry. A gapless time-reversal invariant f+s-wave pairing state with even mirror parity is found to be a promising candidate. This mixing state holds 12(36) nodes at the Fermi pockets around $Γ$ for monolayer(trilayer) case and its unconventional superconductivity is consistent with the STM experiments observed in 2$H$-TaS$_2$ thin flakes. Furthermore, with doping or under uniaxial pressure for trilayer 2$H$-TaS$_2$, large-Chern-number time-reversal symmetry breaking mixing states between d+id- and p-ip-wave pairings can be realized in the phase diagram.

description: We derive the nonequilibrium real-time evolution of an O(N) - invariant scalar quantum field theory in the presence of a nonvanishing expectation value of the quantum field. Using a systematic 1/N expansion of the 2PI effective action to next-to-leading order, we obtain nonperturbative evolution equations which include scattering and memory effects. The equivalence of the direct method, which requires the resummation of an infinite number of skeleton diagrams, with the auxiliary-field formalism, which involves only one diagram at next-to-leading order, is shown.

description: This paper presents an empirical analysis of demand for meat using micro data from three household surveys conducted over the last two decades in Argentina. We present an estimation of a complete demand system for meat using a Quadratic AIDS model. Data of the three household surveys are used: 1996/97, 2004/05 and 2012/13. The Shonkwiler and Yen (1999) methodology is used to correct selection bias and endogeneity of the total expenditure is corrected using instrumental variables. Quality-adjusted prices were obtained following Cox and Wohlgenant methods (1986). Expenditure and price elasticities (compensated and uncompensated), for each period were obtained. We found that beef is the relatively most inelastic good with a higher elasticity observed in the last years. Poultry price elasticity decline 50% and the demand of pork has changed from relatively inelastic to elastic. Poultry appears as the main substitute for all types of meat.

description: Abstract: Inflammatory factors such as IFNγ and TNFα could endow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) a potent immunomodulatory property, a process called licensing, but the mechanisms are not fully understood. We here found that glucocorticoid-activating enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD11B1), which converts inactive cortisone to the active cortisol and thereby regulates tissue glucocorticoid (GC) levels, was greatly upregulated by IFNγ and TNFα in human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) in a synergistic manner. While IFNγ alone was not able to induce HSD11B1, it could increase the activity of NF-kB and thus augment the upregulation of HSD11B1 by TNFα. Interestingly, the upregulation of HSD11B1 by IFNγ and TNFα also required glucocorticoid receptor. Furthermore, HSD11B1 was shown to be required for the expression of TNF-stimulated gene 6 (TSG-6), an important anti-inflammatory effector molecule of MSCs. Therefore, the inflammatory factors IFNγ and TNFα can promote GC metabolism and thereby drive the expression of anti-inflammatory factor TSG-6 in human UC-MSCs, forming a potential negative feedback loop. These findings help to understand the relationship between inflammation and GC metabolism.

Financial technological Innovation and Access is the Key to Unlocking African Agricultural Potential: A Case Study of Dairy in Kenya

description: In Kenya agriculture contributes 24% to the GDP yet lending to the sector is only about 4%. A major constraint to increasing efficiency in smallholder enterprises in rural areas is therefore, limited access to financial services. Lack of working capital for traders in rural areas inhibits the purchase, trade and processing of agricultural produce. This limits the amount of produce a farmer can market and acts as a disincentive to reaching his/her productive potential. Furthermore, most Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) lack a value chain approach to financing and are unable to remove the financial constraints along a specific value chain. Appropriate financing services along the value chain can help to enhance the productivity and profitability of various small-scale rural stakeholders. Therefore, the study assessed the prospects for financial innovations and access in improving dairy farmers’ livelihoods through a case study approach. The findings provide a strong evidence that appropriate financial innovation is the missing link in agricultural productivity paradigm and the food security equation in African countries including Kenya.

description: Abstract: Dystrophinopathies are X-linked diseases, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy, due to DMD gene variants. In recent years, the application of new genetic technologies and the availability of new personalised drugs have influenced diagnostic genetic testing for dystrophinopathies. Therefore, these European best practice guidelines for genetic testing in dystrophinopathies have been produced to update previous guidelines published in 2010. These guidelines summarise current recommended technologies and methodologies for analysis of the DMD gene, including testing for deletions and duplications of one or more exons, small variant detection and RNA analysis. Genetic testing strategies for diagnosis, carrier testing and prenatal diagnosis (including non-invasive prenatal diagnosis) are then outlined. Guidelines for sequence variant annotation and interpretation are provided, followed by recommendations for reporting results of all categories of testing. Finally, atypical findings (such as non-contiguous deletions and dual DMD variants), implications for personalised medicine and clinical trials and incidental findings (identification of DMD gene variants in patients where a clinical diagnosis of dystrophinopathy has not been considered or suspected) are discussed.
