Zenkevitchia sandroruffoi

description: sandroruffoi -group
Remarks
Although, as described below, Zenkevitchia sandroruffoi sp. nov. differs from other species of Zenkevitchia (Z. admirabilis, Z. yakovi) in the non-filtrative maxilla 1, we decided that it, along with Z. revazi, differs sufficiently to warrant recognition as a new species group within the genus Zenkevitchia, which we here designate as the sandroruffoi -group. The sandroruffoi -group (Z. sandroruffoi sp. nov. and Z. revazi Birstein & Ljovuschkin, 1970) is phenotypically more distant from the type species of the genus Zenkevitchia, bearing only up to 22 multi-toothed spines (non-falcate in shape). In some sense, the group occupies an intermediate position between Zenkevitchia (admirabilis -group) and other species of the Typhlogammaridae (cf. Accubogammarus), although, in our opinion, it is closer to the former. The indicators for affinity to Zenkevitchia are: interantennal cephalic lobes sub-acute, urosomal segments weakly armed, shortened antenna 1, antennal gland cone of antenna 2 long, reduced and subsymmetrical palps of maxilla 1, structure and armament of gnathopods (both appendages with well-defined palmar angle).
Despite these points of similarity, Z. revazi needs re-description because some features, such as sexual dimorphism, were not described properly, although important characters that clearly differentiate both species (characteristics of Z. sandroruffoi sp. nov. in parentheses in the following list) are evident. These are: outer plate of maxilla 1 with 11 spines (22 spines), palps of maxilla 1 asymmetric, reduced (sub-symmetric, cf. Typhlogammarus m. mrazeki Schäferna, 1907 and T. m. heteropalpus Karaman, 1972; Karaman 1972, 1988) body of mandibles compacted (elongated), bases of pereopods 5–7 without lobes (with extraordinary roundish postero-proximal lobes), uropod 3 well-developed, setose with plumose setae (reduced, weakly setose). Zenkevitchia revazi reveals a number of features in common with Accubogammarus and the minor differences between these taxa (Karaman 1973, 1974, 1988) are mainly related to the structure of uropod 3.

The Missional and Prophetic Life of Church of England Primary Schools from four English Dioceses

description: Church of England (CE) primary schools may integrate missional and prophetic aspects of their Christian identity in statutory aspects (curriculum, pedagogy, inclusion, leadership) and in areas inspected under the SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) process. This study seeks to characterise links that leaders and teachers in CE primary schools make between their Christian identity and practice, exploring their understanding of intended missional and prophetic impact on their school communities.
I analyse the backdrop to CE school leadership and practice in terms of both the neoliberal/managerial demands of English education policy since 2000 and the concurrent impact of Church of England policy, particularly the 2016 Church of England Vision for Education. I use the Anglican ‘five marks of mission’ to identify and shape school’s missional actions, and a new framework to identify how schools enact prophetic ministry to their children and communities – and toward national policy.
As theoretical basis I argue for a Christian understanding of the world as a legitimate tradition of rational discourse, and an epistemology where knower and known reflexively learn from one another, in which the role of God as knowledge-giver is acknowledged. I explore that using the concept of chronotopes and refract it through a conversational methodology, where interviewer and interviewee together seek understanding.
What emerges from the study is that, building on a basis of collective worship, respect for the Christian scriptures, and enacted values education, school leaders have brought pedagogy and curriculum, behaviour management, charity and community support, into the Christian mission of the school. Through articulation of children’s createdness, commitment to teaching for formation, a determination to foster critical thinking around faith, commitment to speaking up about inclusion (especially for those identifying as LGBTQ+), and the expectation of God’s involvement with children, some schools have found ways of being prophetic.

description: Highly-efficient optical generation of narrowband terahertz (THz) radiation enables unexplored technologies and sciences from compact electron acceleration to charge manipulation in solids. State-of-the-art conversion efficiencies are currently achieved using difference-frequency generation (DFG) driven by temporal beating of chirped pulses but remain, however, far lower than desired or predicted. Here we show that high-order spectral phase fundamentally limits the efficiency of narrowband DFG using chirped-pulse beating and resolve this limitation by introducing a novel technique based on tuning the relative spectral phase of the pulses. For optical terahertz generation, we demonstrate a 13-fold enhancement in conversion efficiency for 1%-bandwidth, 0.361 THz pulses, yielding a record energy of 0.6 mJ and exceeding previous optically-generated energies by over an order of magnitude. Our results prove the feasibility of millijoule-scale applications like terahertz-based electron accelerators and light sources and solve the long-standing problem of temporal irregularities in the pulse trains generated by interfering chirped pulses.

description: While gravitation sustains the on-going evolution of the cosmos, it is magnetism that breaks gravity's symmetry and that provides the pathway to the non-thermal Universe. By enabling processes such as anisotropic pressure support, particle acceleration, and jet collimation, magnetism has for billions of years regulated the feedback vital for returning matter to the interstellar and intergalactic medium. After reviewing recent results that demonstrate the unique view of magnetic fields provided by radio astronomy, I explain how the Square Kilometre Array will provide data that will reveal what cosmic magnets look like, how they formed, and what role they have played in the evolving Universe.

In this paper, we want to show that the residual entanglement for $n$ qubits is a natural measure of entanglement by demonstrating the following properties. (1). It is SL-invariant, especially LU-invariant. (2). It is an entanglement monotone. (3). It is invariant under permutations of the qubits. (4). It vanishes or is multiplicative for product states.

description: We report the magnetic properties of the double perovskites SrLaCuSbO$_6$ (SLCSO) and SrLaCuNbO$_6$ (SLCNO). The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities of both compounds shows a broad maximum characteristic of an $S\,=\,1/2$ square lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet. Magnetic ordering occurs at $T_{\rm N}\,{=}\,13.6$ and 15.7 K for SLCSO and SLCNO, respectively. Neutron powder diffraction measurements reveal contrasting spin structures in both compounds. The spin structures of SLCSO and SLCNO below $T_{\rm N}$ are Néel antiferromagnetic and collinear antiferromagnetic, respectively. This result demonstrates that the nearest-neighbor interaction is dominant in SLCSO, whereas the next-nearest-neighbor interaction is dominant in SLCNO. The magnitude of the ordered moment was evaluated at 3.5 K to be $m\,{=}\,0.39(3)\,μ_{\rm B}$ for SLCSO and $0.37(1)\,μ_{\rm B}$ for SLCNO, which are significantly smaller than those calculated using linear spin wave theory. We infer that the small ordered moment is caused by the effect of exchange bond randomness arising from the site disorder of Sr and La ions.

description: This paper introduces a scenario-based learning activity to bring challenges in strategic communication and leadership to students’ lived experience. It details the goals, setup, steps, and appraisal of a group activity conducted at a course’s start. The activity aims to foster cohesion among students from diverse backgrounds and offers a hands-on introduction to the challenges faced by strategic communication practitioners and leaders. Leadership, Strategic Communication, and courses within communication that include a complex group assignment. The Zombie Apocalypse (ZA) learning activity is part of a second-year course in an international master’s program. The course introduces students to key concepts in strategic communication and leadership and encourages students to apply these in practice. The ZA aims to 1) prepares students for undertaking a complex group assignment (develop a strategic communications concept) in a diverse group. Specifically, it concentrates on the following objectives: assess priorities, challenge own values and perspectives, experience challenges of planning and acting with limited information, understand the importance of delegation and trust in teamwork, reflect upon emotional responses and their impact on performance under time pressure. By that, the ZA is not limited to strategic communication and leadership courses. It is suited to prepare students for complex group assignments in a wide variety of communications courses.
Shell-shocked diffusion model for the light curve of SN2006gy

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We explore a simple model for the high luminosity of SN 2006gy involving photon diffusion of shock-deposited thermal energy. The distinguishing property of the model is that the large ``stellar'' radius of 160 AU required to prevent adiabatic losses is not the true stellar radius, but rather, the radius of an opaque, unbound circumstellar envelope, created when 10 Msun was ejected in the decade before the supernova in an eruption analogous to that of eta Carinae. The supernova light is produced primarily by diffusion of thermal energy following the passage of the blast wave through this shell. This model differs from traditional models of supernova debris interacting with external CSM in that here the shell is optically thick and the escape of radiation is delayed. We show that any model attempting to account for SN2006gy's huge luminosity with radiation emitted by ongoing CSM interaction fails for the following basic reason: the CSM density required to achieve the observed luminosity makes the same circumstellar envelope opaque, forcing a thermal diffusion solution. In our model, the weaker CSM interaction giving rise to SN2006gy's characteristic Type IIn spectrum and soft X-rays is not linked to the power source of the visual continuum; instead, it arises after the blast wave breaks free of the opaque shell into the surrounding wind. While a simple diffusion model can explain the gross properties of the early light curve of SN2006gy, it predicts that the light curve must plummet rapidly at late-times, unless an additional power source is present.

description: The new high-resolution CO (3-2) interferometric map of the IR-bright interacting galaxy system VV 114 observed with the Submillimeter Array reveals a substantial amount of warm and dense gas in the IR-bright but optically obscured galaxy, VV 114E, and the overlap region connecting the two nuclei. A 1.8 × 1.4 kpc concentration of CO (3-2) emitting gas with a total mass of 4 × 109 M coincides with the peaks of near-IR, mid-IR, and radio continuum emission found previously by others, identifying the dense fuel for the active galactic nucleus and/or the starburst activity there. Extensive CO (2-1) emission is also detected, revealing detailed distribution and kinematics that are consistent with the earlier CO (1-0) results. The widely distributed molecular gas traced in CO (2-1) and the distributed discrete peaks of CO (3-2) emission suggest that a spatially extended intense starbursts may contribute significantly to its large IR luminosity. These new observations further support the notion that VV 114 is approaching its final stage of merger, when a violent central inflow of gas triggers intense starburst activity possibly boosting the IR luminosity above the ultraluminous threshold.

description: Charged colloidal monolayers at the interface between water and air (or oil) are used in a large number of chemical, physical and biological applications. Although a considerable experimental and theoretical effort has been devoted in the past few decades to investigate such monolayers, some of their fundamental properties are not yet fully understood. In this paper, we model charged colloidal monolayers as a continuum layer of finite thickness, with separate charge distribution on the water and air sides. The electrostatic surface free-energy and surface pressure are calculated via the charging method and within the Debye-H{ü}ckel approximation. We obtain the dependence of surface pressure on several system parameters: the monolayer thickness, its distinct dielectric permittivity, and the ionic strength of the aqueous subphase. The surface pressure scaling with the area per particle, ${a}$, is found to be between ${a}^{-2}$ in the close-packing limit, and ${a}^{-5/2}$ in the loose-packing limit. In general, it is found that the surface-pressure is strongly influenced by charges on the air-side of the colloids. However, when the larger charge resides on the water-side, a more subtle dependence on salt concentration emerges. This corrects a common assumption that the charges on the water-side can \textit{always} be neglected due to screening. Finally, using a single fit parameter, our theory is found to fit well the experimental data for strong to intermediate strength electrolytes. We postulate that an anomalous scaling of $a^{-3/2}$, recently observed in low ionic concentrations, cannot be accounted for within a linear theory, and its explanation requires a fully-nonlinear analysis.

description: We show by explicit construction the existence of various four dimensional models of type II superstrings with N=2 supersymmetry, purely vector multiplet spectrum and no hypermultiplets. Among these, two are of special interest, at the field theory level they correspond to the two exceptional N=2 supergravities of the magic square that have the same massless scalar field content as pure N=6 supergravity and N=3 supergravity coupled to three extra vector multiplets. The N=2 model of the magic square that is associated to N=6 supergravity is very peculiar since not only the scalar degrees of freedom but all the bosonic massless degrees of freedom are the same in both theories. All presented hyper-free N=2 models are based on asymmetric orbifold constructions with N=(4,1) world-sheet superconformal symmetry and utilize the 2d fermionic construction techniques. The two exceptional N=2 models of the magic square are constructed via a "twisting mechanism" that eliminates the extra gravitini of the N=6 and N=3 extended supergravities and creates at the same time the extra spin-1/2 fermions and spin-1 gauge bosons which are necessary to balance the numbers of bosons and fermions. Theories of the magic square with the same amount of supersymmetry in three and five space-time dimensions are constructed as well, via stringy reduction and oxidation from the corresponding four-dimensional models.

description: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely known to have anti-inflammatory properties, but the exact mechanism underlying this anti-inflammatory effect is not clearly understood. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is a major pro-inflammatory cytokine that is expressed in the early stage of cell inflammation and induces apoptosis by several known pathways. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of AgNPs on the response of lung epithelial cells to TNFα and the molecular mechanism of this response. Lung epithelial cell line NCI-H292 cells were exposed to AgNPs (5 µg/mL) and/or TNFα (20 ng/mL) for 24 h, then cellular uptake was analyzed using flow cytometry. Our results showed that AgNPs were taken up by cells in a dose-dependent manner and that the cellular uptake ratio of AgNPs was significantly increased in the presence of TNFα. Apoptosis assays indicated that exposure to AgNPs significantly decreased the apoptotic effect of TNFα. Confocal microscopy was used to localize the tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) and revealed that TNFR1 localized on the surface of cells exposed to TNFα. In contrast, TNFR1 localized inside cells exposed to both AgNPs and TNFα, with very few receptors scattered on the cell membrane. The results indicated that AgNPs reduced the cell surface TNFR1 expression level. The results suggested that the reduction of surface TNFR1 reduced cellular response to TNFα, resulting in an anti-apoptotic effect.

description: The majority of models of inflation in string theory predict an absence of measurable gravitational waves, r << 10^{-3}. The most promising proposals for making string theoretic models that yield measurable tensor fluctuations involve axion fields with slightly broken shift symmetry. We consider such models in detail, with a particular focus on the N-flation scenario and on axion valley/natural inflation models. We find that in Calabi-Yau threefold compactifications with logarithmic Kahler potentials K it appears to be difficult to meet the conditions required for axion inflation in the supergravity regime. However, in supergravities with an (approximately) quadratic shift-symmetric K, axion inflation may be viable. Such Kahler potentials do arise in some string models, in specific limits of the moduli space. We describe the most promising classes of models; more detailed study will be required before one can conclude that working models exist.

description: We propose a realization of the two-impurity Anderson model in a double quantum-dot device. When charge transfer between the dots is suppressed the system exhibits a quantum phase transition, controlled by a surface of non-Fermi liquid fixed points parameterized by the charge valences of the dots. Employing conformal field theory techniques, we identify the scaling exponents that govern transport and thermodynamics close to criticality. We also determine the dynamical exponents that set the time scale for buildup of the non-Fermi liquid state after the system is suddenly shifted into the critical region, e.g. by a change of a nearby gate voltage.

description: In this account, we describe the crazy-clock phenomenon involving the state I (low iodide and iodine concentration) to state II (high iodide and iodine concentration with new iodine phase) transition after a Briggs-Rauscher (BR) oscillatory process. While the BR crazy-clock phenomenon is known, it is the first time that crazy-clock behavior is linked and explained with the symmetry-breaking phenomenon, highlighting the entire process in a novel way. The presented phenomenon has been thoroughly investigated by running more than 60 experiments, and evaluated by using statistical cluster K-means analysis. The mixing rate, as well as the magnetic bar shape and dimensions, have a strong influence on the transition appearance. Although the transition for both mixing and no-mixing conditions are taking place completely randomly, by using statistical cluster analysis we obtain different numbers of clusters (showing the time-domains where the transition is more likely to occur). In the case of stirring, clusters are more compact and separated, revealed new hidden details regarding the chemical dynamics of nonlinear processes. The significance of the presented results is beyond oscillatory reaction kinetics since the described example belongs to the small class of chemical systems that shows intrinsic randomness in their response and it might be considered as a real example of a classical liquid random number generator.

description: SN 2006gy radiated far more energy in visual light than any other supernova so far, and potential explanations for its energy demands have implications for galactic chemical evolution and the deaths of the first stars. It remained bright for over 200 days, longer than any normal supernova, and it radiated more than 1e51 ergs of luminous energy at visual wavelengths. I argue that this Type IIn supernova was probably the explosion of an extremely massive star like Eta Carinae that retained its hydrogen envelope when it exploded, having suffered relatively little mass loss during its lifetime. That this occurred at roughly Solar metallicity challenges current paradigms for mass loss in massive-star evolution. I explore a few potential explanations for SN2006gy's power source, involving either circumstellar interaction, or instead, the decay of 56Ni. If SN 2006gy was powered by the conversion of shock energy into light, then the conditions must be truly extraordinary and traditional interaction models don't work. If SN 2006gy was powered by radioactive decay, then the uncomfortably huge 56Ni mass requires that the star exploded as a pair instability supernova. The mere possibility of this makes SN 2006gy interesting, especially at this meeting, because it is the first good candidate for a genuine pair instability supernova.

description: The unified gas-kinetic scheme (UGKS) is a direct modeling method for multiple scale transports. The modeling scale of the scheme is the mesh size and time step, and the ratios of the mesh size over particle mean free path or the time step over particle collision time determine the local evolution regime of flow physics. For unsteady flow computation, due to the CFL condition the time step in the explicit UGKS is limited by the smallest cell size in the computational domain. As a result, for a largely stretched non-uniform mesh the global time step becomes very small and the ratio of the time step over local particle collision time may get a very small value. Under such a circumstance, the physics in explicit UGKS may be constrained by the kinetic scale physics only. The multiscale UGKS reduces into a single scale discrete velocity method where the free transport is used for the flux evaluation. In order to keep the advantages of UGKS and improve the efficiency for unsteady flow computation, the restriction from global CFL condition on the time step has to be removed. In this paper, we develop an implicit UGKS (IUGKS) for unsteady flow by alternatively solving the macroscopic and microscopic governing equations within a step iteratively. In order to preserve the coherent flow evolution and multiscale nature, the numerical flux is still evaluated by the explicit UGKS with the local CFL condition. Therefore, the multiscale property of the UGKS modeling is preserved over non-uniform meshes. Many numerical examples are included to validate the scheme for both continuum and rarefied flows. The IUGKS presents reasonably good results with second order accuracy for unsteady flow computation and the efficiency has been improved by dozen of times in comparison with the explicit UGKS.
The Assessment of SF-36 Survey in Quality-of-Life Measurement after Radical Cystectomy for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Bratosin, Felix
Publisher: name: OSF Registries

Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: The literature on HRQoL post-radical cystectomy, particularly using the SF-36 sur-vey, presents a fragmented view, with studies varying in methodology, sample sizes, and follow-up durations. This variability complicates the task of drawing comprehensive conclusions about the HRQoL trajectory following surgery for MIBC. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review the literature on the assessment of HRQoL using the SF-36 survey in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The hypothesis is that radical cystectomy significantly alters multiple domains of quality of life in patients with MIBC, with variations over time and among different patient demographics. The objective is to quantify these changes and identify areas where interventions may improve HRQoL outcomes, ultimately contributing to more holistic patient care and informed decision-making in the treatment of MIBC.

description: In this article we will cover the history of the Junqueira Palace, from its construction to the moment it was acquired by the Portuguese State. We will follow the way in which this building had different owners and occupants, resulting in the designations for what it is kown, Patriarch’s Palace and Burnay Palace. Each of the owners gave it their own taste, visible in the architecture, interior decoration, and garden design. We will begin with the construction of the building by order of D. José César de Meneses, knowing that, after 1755, it was rented by the Church, starting to function as the summer palace of the Patriarch of Lisbon. In 1853, it was acquired by Manuel Pinto da Fonseca, a slave trader known as «Monte Cristo». It was later in the possession of D. Sebastião de Bourbon (a member of the royal family), being acquired, in 1882, by the Count of Burnay — who was the owner who had the greatest impact on the building’s history. Finally, we will continue to the present day, remembering the urgency of defending, preserving, and giving new life to this building.

description: We have discovered a new X-ray emitting compact binary that is the likely counterpart to the unassociated Fermi-LAT GeV $γ$-ray source 4FGL J1120.0-2204, the second brightest Fermi source that still remains formally unidentified. Using optical spectroscopy with the SOAR telescope, we have identified a warm ($T_{\textrm{eff}}\sim8500$ K) companion in a 15.1-hr orbit around an unseen primary, which is likely a yet-undiscovered millisecond pulsar. A precise Gaia parallax shows the binary is nearby, at a distance of only $\sim 820$ pc. Unlike the typical "spider" or white dwarf secondaries in short-period millisecond pulsar binaries, our observations suggest the $\sim 0.17\,M_{\odot}$ companion is in an intermediate stage, contracting on the way to becoming an extremely low-mass helium white dwarf (a "pre-ELM" white dwarf). Although the companion is apparently unique among confirmed or candidate millisecond pulsar binaries, we use binary evolution models to show that in $\sim 2$ Gyr, the properties of the binary will match those of several millisecond pulsar-white dwarf binaries with very short ($< 1$ d) orbital periods. This makes 4FGL J1120.0-2204 the first system discovered in the penultimate phase of the millisecond pulsar recycling process.

description: Inert surrogates or mocks for high explosives are commonly used in place of the real material for complex experiments or in situations where safety is a concern. Here, several materials were tested as potential mocks for HMX in terms of density, thermal stability, and processability. Selection criteria were developed and a literature search was conducted primarily using the Cambridge Structural Database. Out of over 200 potentially acceptable materials, six were chosen for crystallization experiments and a suite of analytical characterization. Of these six, 5-iodo-2ˊ-deoxyuridine, N,Nˊ-bis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)oxamide, and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzamide all were found to be thermally stable at 150°C, matched HMX density as a pressed pellet, and could be crystallized to appropriate particle sizes. These three materials are considered suitable inert density mocks for HMX and will be the subject of future testing.

description: We use data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to search for, and set limits on, optical to near-infrared photometric variability of the well-vetted, candidate James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) spectrophotometric standards. Our search of 37 of these candidate standards has revealed measurable periodic variability in 15 stars. The majority of those show variability that is less than half a percent; however, four stars are observed to vary photometrically, from minimum to maximum flux, by more than 1% (the G dwarf HD 38949 and three fainter A dwarfs). Variability of this size would likely impact the error budget in the spectrophotometric calibration of the science instruments aboard JWST. For the 22 candidate standards with no detected variability, we report upper limits on the observed changes in flux. Despite some systematic noise, all stars brighter than 12 magnitude in the TESS band show a 3 sigma upper limit on the total change in brightness of less than half a percent on time scales between an hour and multiple weeks, empirically establishing their suitability as spectrophotometric standards. We further discuss the value and limits of high-cadence, high-precision photometric monitoring with TESS as a tool to vet the suitability of stars to act as spectrophotometric standards.

SU(5) grand unification on a domain-wall brane from an E_6-invariant action

description: An SU(5) grand unification scheme for effective 3+1-dimensional fields dynamically localised on a domain-wall brane is constructed. This is achieved through the confluence of the clash-of-symmetries mechanism for symmetry breaking through domain-wall formation, and the Dvali-Shifman gauge-boson localisation idea. It requires an E_6 gauge-invariant action, yielding a domain-wall solution that has E_6 broken to differently embedded SO(10) x U(1) subgroups in the two bulk regions on opposite sides of the wall. On the wall itself, the unbroken symmetry is the intersection of the two bulk subgroups, and contains SU(5). A 4+1-dimensional fermion family in the 27 of E_6 gives rise to localised left-handed zero-modes in the 5^* + 10 + 1 + 1 representation of SU(5). The remaining ten fermion components of the 27 are delocalised exotic states, not appearing in the effective 3+1-dimensional theory on the domain-wall brane. The scheme is compatible with the type-2 Randall-Sundrum mechanism for graviton localisation; the single extra dimension is infinite.

description: Where a J-OP is located will depend on the type and location of its inputs. Co-location with a sewage treatment plant has numerous benefits like access to biosolids and existing infrastructure for dewatering and treating filtrate from the dewatering step. Permitting may also be made easier through co-location. The J-OP can also be constructed in a greenfield site as part of a fecal sludge treatment plant that includes effluent treatment or can act as a centralized processing center for high cake solids dewatered offsite. A range of auxiliary fuel sources (such as municipal solid waste or dry biomass), can be incorporated to increase uptime and energy output.
