description: This paper assesses the legacy of the Marshall Plan on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of General George Marshall's historic commencement address at Harvard University. I suggest that the circumstances today are very different from those which motivated Marshall's initiative in 1947. After World War II international capital markets were repressed and demoralized; today they are flourishing. Now that international capital markets are vibrant again, the problem for policy is no longer that of the 1940s. The response developed by Marshall and his colleagues is no longer appropriate. But Marshall's key insight, that a market economy needs institutional and policy support to function effectively, is as timely today as 50 years ago.

description: Abstract: Background: Patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with targeted systemic therapies have demonstrated favourable outcomes in randomised controlled trials, however real-world evidence is limited. Thus, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of targeted systemic therapies for patients with mRCC in routine clinical practice in the UK. Methods: A retrospective, observational, longitudinal study based on chart review of newly diagnosed adult mRCC patients treated at two UK hospitals from 2008 to 2015 was conducted. Targeted systemic therapies recommended for use in mRCC patients were evaluated across first to third lines of therapy (1LOT-3LOT). Important exclusions were treatment with cytokine therapy and within non-standard of care clinical trials. Primary outcome measure was overall survival (OS); data were analysed descriptively and using Kaplan-Meyer analysis. Results: 652 patients (65.3% male, 35.0% ≥70 years) were included. In 1LOT, 98.5% of patients received sunitinib or pazopanib. In 2LOT and 3LOT, 99.0 and 94.4% received axitinib or everolimus. Median OS was 12.9, 6.5 and 5.9 months at 1LOT, 2LOT and 3LOT respectively. Estimated OS at 1-year was 52.4% (95% CI: 48.6–56.4%) in 1LOT, 31.5% (25.2–39.5%) in 2LOT and 23.8% (10.1–55.9%) in 3LOT. Median OS from 1LOT in favourable, intermediate and poor MSKCC were 39.7, 15.8 and 6.1 months respectively. Conclusions: In this study, treatment was consistent with current National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for mRCC patients. Although the study population favoured poorer prognosis patients, outcomes were more favourable than those for England at the same time. However, overall survival in this ‘real-world’ population remains poor and indicates significant unmet need for effective and safe treatment options to improve survival among mRCC patients.

description: Abstract: Many species of bacteria swim through viscous environments by rotating multiple helical flagella. The filaments gather behind the cell body and form a close helical bundle, which propels the cell forward during a “run”. The filaments inside the bundle cannot be continuously actuated, nor can they easily unbundle, if they are tangled around one another. The fact that bacteria can passively form coherent bundles, i.e. bundles which do not contain tangled pairs of filaments, may appear surprising given that flagella are actuated by uncoordinated motors. In this article, we establish the theoretical conditions under which a pair of rigid helical filaments can form a tangled bundle, and we compare these constraints with experimental data collected from the literature. Our results suggest that bacterial flagella are too straight and too far apart to form tangled bundles based on their intrinsic, undeformed geometry alone. This makes the formation of coherent bundles more robust against the passive nature of the bundling process, where the position of individual filaments cannot be controlled.

description: An analytical model, recently developed to study the electromagnetic dissociation (EMD) energy spectra of two-neutron halo nuclei, is applied to 11-Li and 14-Be. We find that a reliable set of experimental data on EMD could help to resolve the problem concerning the structure of the 11-Li ground state. For 14-Be we find a mutual inconsistency between the existing experimental data on the binding energy, radius and EMD energy spectrum. We also conclude that the structure of 14-Be is essentially more complicated than the structure of other Borromean two--neutron halo nuclei.

description: A detailed study of inclusive deep inelastic scattering from mirror A = 3 nuclei at large values of Bjorken-x is presented. The main purpose is to estimate the theoretical uncertainties on the extraction of F2n from such measurements. Within the convolution approach we confirm the cancellation of nuclear effects at the level of ~1 % for x < 0.75 in overall agreement with previous findings. However, within models in which modifications of the bound nucleon structure functions are accounted for to describe the EMC effect in nuclei, we find that the nuclear effects may be canceled at a level of ~ 3 % only, leading to an accuracy of ~ 12 % in the extraction of F2n / F2p at x ~ 0.7 - 0.8. Another consequence of bound nucleon modifications is that the iteration procedure does not improve the accuracy of the extraction of F2n / F2p.

description: Abstract: Recently, there has been increasing interest in strategies to predict neurological recovery in cervical myelopathy (CM) based on clinical images of the cervical spine. In this study, we aimed to explore potential preoperative brain biomarkers that can predict postoperative neurological recovery in CM patients by using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and functional connectivity (FC) analysis. Twenty-eight patients with CM and 28 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) underwent rs-fMRI (twice for CM patients, before and six months after surgery). A seed-to-voxel analysis was performed, and the following three statistical analyses were conducted: (i) FC comparisons between preoperative CM and HC; (ii) correlation analysis between preoperative FCs and clinical scores; and (iii) postoperative FC changes in CM. Our analyses identified three FCs between the visual cortex and the right superior frontal gyrus based on the conjunction of the first two analyses [(i) and (ii)]. These FCs may act as potential biomarkers for postoperative gain in the 10-second test and might be sufficient to provide a prediction formula for potential recovery. Our findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the possibility of novel predictive measures for neurological recovery in CM using rs-fMRI.
Exchange Rate Stability and Financial Stability

description: In this paper I consider the connections between the exchange rate and the financial system, focusing on the implications of international monetary arrangements for the stability of the banking system. I ask questions like the following. Under what conditions can a currency peg jeopardize the stability of the banking system? Can adopting a peg set in motion processes that weaken the banks, themselves the linchpin of the financial system? Once the banking system weakens, how serious an obstacle is the currency peg to lender-of-last-resort intervention? While this review of the historical record shows that there is no simple mapping between exchange rate stability and financial stability, it confirms that the textbook insight about the origin of disturbances and the advantages of fixed and floating rates remains the obvious place to start. When disturbances are imported, a flexible rate provides useful insulation; when they are domestic, exchange rate stability allows them to be shared with the rest of the world and disciplines domestic policymakers. This simple logic applies directly to the stability of the banking system. When disturbances to the banking system originate abroad, exchange rate flexibility can help to insulate the banks from shocks to their funding and investments. It gives the authorities the opportunity to act as lenders of last resort. The Great Depression provides perhaps the clearest illustration: in the 1930s most countries experienced the contraction of credit and collapse of activity as an imported shock, and those which allowed their exchange rates to adjust, decoupling domestic monetary and financial conditions from those abroad, were best able to avert banking panics, and to engage in lenderof- last-resort operations. Conversely, when macroeconomic and financial shocks jeopardizing the stability of the banking system are home grown, pegging the exchange rate allows idiosyncratic disturbances to spill out into the rest of the world and imposes discipline on domestic policymakers. Argentina in the 1990s illustrates the point: by adopting a rigid currency peg it has prevented domestic policymakers from succumbing to the monetary and fiscal excesses that long destabilized its banking system.

description: The determination of parton distribution functions in the nucleon and nuclei is important for obtaining precise hadron-reaction cross sections, from which any new exotic signature could be found. We show that a future neutrino factory could provide important information on the parton distributions. First, a recent effort concerning the parametrization of nuclear parton distributions is explained. It suggests that the factory should be important for determining unknown behavior of valence-quark distributions in nuclei at small $x$. Second, the facility could be used for understanding nucleon spin structure and isospin violation in the parton distributions.

description: This paper examines the extent to which speculation against the French franc in 1992-93 was motivated by the fundamentals or resulted from a sunspot phenomenon. We develop a model of currency crises which encompasses both hypotheses about the origin of speculation. The estimation shows that the model with sunspots not only better tracks the episodes of speculation, but also gives a better account of the relationship between the fundamentals and the devaluation expectations.

description: Abstract: Tool condition monitoring (TCM) has become essential to achieve high-quality machining as well as cost-effective production. Identification of the cutting tool state during machining before it reaches its failure stage is critical. This paper presents a novel big data approach for tool wear classification based on signal imaging and deep learning. By combining these two techniques, the approach is able to work with the raw data directly, avoiding the use of statistical pre-processing or filter methods. This aspect is fundamental when dealing with large amounts of data that hold complex evolving features. The imaging process serves as an encoding procedure of the sensor data, meaning that the original time series can be re-created from the image without loss of information. By using an off-the-shelf deep learning implementation, the manual selection of features is avoided, thus making this novel approach more general and suitable when dealing with large datasets. The experimental results have revealed that deep learning is able to identify intrinsic features of sensory raw data, achieving in some cases a classification accuracy above 90%.

description: Carbon materials doped with nitrogen have long been used for SO2 removal from flue gases for the benefits of the environment. The role of water is generally regarded as hydration of SO3 which is formed through the oxidization of SO2. However, the hydration of SO2, especially on the surface of N doped carbon materials, was almost ignored. In this study, the hydration of SO2 was investigated in detail on the pyridinic nitrogen (PyN) doped graphene (GP) surfaces. It is found that, compared to the homogeneous hydration of SO2 assisted with NH3 in gas phase, the heterogeneous hydration is much more thermodynamically and kinetically favourable. Specifically, when a single H2O molecule is involved, the energy barrier for SO2 hydration is as low as 0.15 eV, with 0.59 eV released, indicating the hydration of SO2 can occur at rather low water concentration and temperature. Thermodynamic integration molecular dynamics results show the feasibility of the hydrogenated substrate recovery and the immobilized N acting as a catalytic site for SO2 hydration. Our findings show that the heterogeneous hydration of SO2 should be universal and potentially uncover the puzzling reaction mechanism for SO2 catalytic oxidation at low temperature by N doped carbon materials.

description: Quantum control of solid-state spin qubits typically involves pulses in the microwave domain, drawing from the well-developed toolbox of magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Driving a solid-state spin by optical means offers a high-speed alternative, which in the presence of limited spin coherence makes it the preferred approach for high-fidelity quantum control. Bringing the full versatility of magnetic spin resonance to the optical domain requires full phase and amplitude control of the optical fields. Here, we imprint a programmable microwave sequence onto a laser field and perform electron spin resonance in a semiconductor quantum dot via a two-photon Raman process. We show that this approach yields full SU(2) spin control with over 98% pi-rotation fidelity. We then demonstrate its versatility by implementing a particular multi-axis control sequence, known as spin locking. Combined with electron-nuclear Hartmann-Hahn resonances which we also report in this work, this sequence will enable efficient coherent transfer of a quantum state from the electron spin to the mesoscopic nuclear ensemble.

description: We find the Noether point symmetries for non-relativistic two-dimensional charged particle motion. These symmetries are composed of a quasi-invariance transformation, a time-dependent rotation and a time-dependent spatial translation. The associated electromagnetic field satisfy a system of first-order linear partial differential equations. This system is solved exactly, yielding three classes of electromagnetic fields compatible with Noether point symmetries. The corresponding Noether invariants are derived and interpreted.

description: Abstract: The dynamical arrest of attractive colloidal particles into out-of-equilibrium structures, known as gelation, is central to biophysics, materials science, nanotechnology, and food and cosmetic applications, but a complete understanding is lacking. In particular, for intermediate particle density and attraction, the structure formation process remains unclear. Here, we show that the gelation of short-range attractive particles is governed by a nonequilibrium percolation process. We combine experiments on critical Casimir colloidal suspensions, numerical simulations, and analytical modeling with a master kinetic equation to show that cluster sizes and correlation lengths diverge with exponents ~1.6 and 0.8, respectively, consistent with percolation theory, while detailed balance in the particle attachment and detachment processes is broken. Cluster masses exhibit power-law distributions with exponents −3/2 and −5/2 before and after percolation, as predicted by solutions to the master kinetic equation. These results revealing a nonequilibrium continuous phase transition unify the structural arrest and yielding into related frameworks.

description: Turbulence plays a major role in shaping marine community structure as it affects organism dispersal and guides fundamental ecological interactions. Below oceanographic mesoscale dynamics, turbulence also impinges on subtle physical–biological coupling at the single cell level, setting a sea of chemical gradients and determining microbial interactions with profound effects on scales much larger than the organisms themselves. It has been only recently that we have started to disentangle details of this coupling for swimming microorganisms. However, for non-motile species, which comprise some of the most abundant phytoplankton groups on Earth, a similar level of mechanistic understanding is still missing. Here, we explore by means of extensive numerical simulations the interplay between buoyancy regulation in non-motile phytoplankton and cellular responses to turbulent mechanical cues. Using a minimal mechano-response model, we show how such a mechanism would contribute to spatial heterogeneity and affect vertical fluxes and trigger community segregation.

description: Abstract: We prove that there are no exponentially growing modes nor modes on the real axis for the Teukolsky equation on Kerr black hole spacetimes, both in the extremal and subextremal case. We also give a quantitative refinement of mode stability. As an immediate application, we show that the transmission and reflection coefficients of the scattering problem are bounded, independently of the specific angular momentum of the black hole, in any compact set of real frequencies excluding zero frequency and the superradiant threshold. While in the subextremal setting these results were known previously, the extremal case is more involved and has remained an open problem. Ours are the first results outside axisymmetry and could serve as a preliminary step towards understanding boundedness, scattering and decay properties of general solutions to the Teukolsky equation on extremal Kerr black holes.

description: We perform calculations for M1 transitions and allowed Gamow Teller (GT) transitions in the even-even Titanium isotopes - $^{44}$Ti, $^{46}$Ti, and $^{48}$Ti. We first do calculations with the FPD6 interaction. Then to study the effect of T=0 matrix elements on the M1 and GT rates we introduce a second interaction in which all the T=0 matrix elements are set equal to zero and a third in which all the T=0 matrix elements are set to a constant. For the latter two interactions the T=1 matrix elements are the same as for FPD6. We are thus able to study the effects of the fluctuating T=0 matrix elements on M1 and GT rates.

description: Abstract: Let γ∈(0, 2), let h be the planar Gaussian free field, and consider the γ-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) metric associated with h. We show that the essential supremum of the Hausdorff dimension of the boundary of a γ-LQG metric ball with respect to the Euclidean (resp. γ-LQG) metric is 2-γdγ2γ+γ2+γ22dγ2 (resp. dγ-1), where dγ is the Hausdorff dimension of the whole plane with respect to the γ-LQG metric. For γ=8/3, in which case d8/3=4, we get that the essential supremum of Euclidean (resp. 8/3-LQG) dimension of a 8/3-LQG ball boundary is 5/4 (resp. 3). We also compute the essential suprema of the Euclidean and γ-LQG Hausdorff dimensions of the intersection of a γ-LQG ball boundary with the set of metric α-thick points of the field h for each α∈R. Our results show that the set of γ/dγ-thick points on the ball boundary has full Euclidean dimension and the set of γ-thick points on the ball boundary has full γ-LQG dimension.

description: The nuclear liquid-gas transition at normal nuclear densities, $n \sim n_0 = 0.16$ fm$^{-3}$, and small temperatures, $T \sim 20$ MeV, has a large influence on analytic properties of the QCD grand-canonical thermodynamic potential. A classical van der Waals equation is used to determine these unexpected features due to dense cold matter qualitatively. The existence of the nuclear matter critical point results in thermodynamic branch points, which are located at complex chemical potential values, for $T > T_c \simeq 20$ MeV, and exhibit a moderate model dependence up to rather large temperatures $T \lesssim 100$ MeV. The behavior at higher temperatures is studied using the van der Waals hadron resonance gas (vdW-HRG) model. The baryon-baryon interactions have a decisive influence on the QCD thermodynamics close to $μ_B = 0$. In particular, nuclear matter singularities limit the radius of convergence $r_{μ_B/T}$ of the Taylor expansion in $μ_B/T$, with $r_{μ_B/T} \sim 2-3$ values at $T \sim 140-170$ MeV obtained in the vdW-HRG model.

description: One of the major families of membrane proteins found in prokaryote genome corresponds to the transporters. Among them, the resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND) transporters are highly studied, as being responsible for one of the most problematic mechanisms used by bacteria to resist to antibiotics, i.e., the active efflux of drugs. In Gram-negative bacteria, these proteins are inserted in the inner membrane and form a tripartite assembly with an outer membrane factor and a periplasmic linker in order to cross the two membranes to expulse molecules outside of the cell. A lot of information has been collected to understand the functional mechanism of these pumps, especially with AcrAB-TolC from Escherichia coli, but one missing piece from all the suggested models is the role of peptidoglycan in the assembly. Here, by pull-down experiments with purified peptidoglycans, we precise the MexAB-OprM interaction with the peptidoglycan from Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, highlighting a role of the peptidoglycan in stabilizing the MexA-OprM complex and also differences between the two Gram-negative bacteria peptidoglycans.

description: Farmland values are influenced by productivity levels, prices of pertinent crops, farm incomes, urban sprawl, and external investment pressure. Since cropping systems in a given region are similar to adjacent regions and soil productivity indexes change slowly across regions, it was expected that farmland values are spatially clustered even at the state level. We tested spatial correlation on US state-level farmland values from 1950 to 2014. Spatial correlation was detected in farmland values and percent changes in farmland values. These results indicate that traditional analysis techniques that ignore values of neighboring states may be dominated by advanced spatial analysis. Evaluation of state-level farmland values provide appraisers with insights into how a shock to farmland values impact values in surrounding states. Future analyses will validate these results by examining available sub-state and county-level data.

description: Entanglement monotone is defined as a convex measure of entanglement that does not increase on average under local operations and classical communication (LOCC). Here we call an entanglement monotone a strict entanglement monotone (SEM) if it decreases strictly on average under LOCC. We show that, for any convex roof extended entanglement monotone that on pure states is given by a function of the reduced states, if the function is strictly concave, then it is a SEM. Moreover, we prove that the negativity and the relative entropy of entanglement, which are not defined by the convex roof structure, are also SEMs. In addition, if the squashed entanglement could be obtained by some optimal extension, then it is a SEM as well. Our results imply that entanglement is strictly decreasing on average under LOCC.
description: 6 pages. This result is a complementary to [Guo and Gour,Phys.Rev.A 99, 042305(2019)]. It supports that entanglement is monogamous

description: Carbon materials doped with nitrogen have long been used for SO2 removal from flue gases for the benefits of the environment. The role of water is generally regarded as hydration of SO3 which is formed through the oxidization of SO2. However, the hydration of SO2, especially on the surface of N doped carbon materials, was almost ignored. In this study, the hydration of SO2 was investigated in detail on the pyridinic nitrogen (PyN) doped graphene (GP) surfaces. It is found that, compared to the homogeneous hydration of SO2 assisted with NH3 in gas phase, the heterogeneous hydration is much more thermodynamically and kinetically favourable. Specifically, when a single H2O molecule is involved, the energy barrier for SO2 hydration is as low as 0.15 eV, with 0.59 eV released, indicating the hydration of SO2 can occur at rather low water concentration and temperature. Thermodynamic integration molecular dynamics results show the feasibility of the hydrogenated substrate recovery and the immobilized N acting as a catalytic site for SO2 hydration. Our findings show that the heterogeneous hydration of SO2 should be universal and potentially uncover the puzzling reaction mechanism for SO2 catalytic oxidation at low temperature by N doped carbon materials.

nematode

description: Root-knot nematodes (genus Meloidogyne) are the major contributor to crop losses caused by nematodes. These nematodes secrete effector proteins into the plant, derived from two sets of pharyngeal gland cells, to manipulate host physiology and immunity. Successful completion of the life cycle, involving successive molts from egg to adult, covers morphologically and functionally distinct stages and will require precise control of gene expression, including effector genes. The details of how root-knot nematodes regulate transcription remain sparse. Here, we report a life stage-specific transcriptome of Meloidogyne incognita. Combined with an available annotated genome, we explore the spatio-temporal regulation of gene expression. We reveal gene expression clusters and predicted functions that accompany the major developmental transitions. Focusing on effectors, we identify a putative cis-regulatory motif associated with expression in the dorsal glands, providing an insight into effector regulation. We combine the presence of this motif with several other criteria to predict a novel set of putative dorsal gland effectors. Finally, we show this motif, and thereby its utility, is broadly conserved across the Meloidogyne genus, and we name it Mel-DOG. Taken together, we provide the first genome-wide analysis of spatio-temporal gene expression in a root-knot nematode and identify a new set of candidate effector genes that will guide future functional analyses.

description: BACKGROUND: Airborne fine particulate matter with diameter < 2.5 μm (PM2.5), can reach the alveolar regions of the lungs, and is associated with over 4 million premature deaths per year worldwide. However, the source-specific consequences of PM2.5 exposure remain poorly understood. A major, but unregulated source is car brake wear, which exhaust emission reduction measures have not diminished. METHODS: We used an interdisciplinary approach to investigate the consequences of brake-wear PM2.5 exposure upon lung alveolar cellular homeostasis using diesel exhaust PM as a comparator. This involved RNA-Seq to analyse global transcriptomic changes, metabolic analyses to investigate glycolytic reprogramming, mass spectrometry to determine PM composition, and reporter assays to provide mechanistic insight into differential effects. RESULTS: We identified brake-wear PM from copper-enriched non-asbestos organic, and ceramic brake pads as inducing the greatest oxidative stress, inflammation, and pseudohypoxic HIF activation (a pathway implicated in diseases associated with air pollution exposure, including cancer, and pulmonary fibrosis), as well as perturbation of metabolism, and metal homeostasis compared with brake wear PM from low- or semi-metallic pads, and also, importantly, diesel exhaust PM. Compositional and metal chelator analyses identified that differential effects were driven by copper. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate here that brake-wear PM may perturb cellular homeostasis more than diesel exhaust PM. Our findings demonstrate the potential differences in effects, not only for non-exhaust vs exhaust PM, but also amongst different sources of non-exhaust PM. This has implications for our understanding of the potential health effects of road vehicle-associated PM. More broadly, our findings illustrate the importance of PM composition on potential health effects, highlighting the need for targeted legislation to protect public health.

description: The habitat of the intertidal flightless midge Telmatogeton magellanicus (Jacobs, 1900) is described for the first time from the northern coast of Navarino Island, Tierra del Fuego, Chile. Additionally, we report the first observations of adult behaviour in the wild. We delineate the species’ distribution across three tidal zones (high, mid and low), and identify substrate characteristics that favour the presence of the midge. The mid-tide zone was the key habitat utilized by T. magellanicus, with lower densities in the low-tide zone and no presence in the high-tide zone. There was a strong association between the presence of larvae and filamentous algae, especially Bostrychia spp. and, to a lesser extent, Ulva spp., as well as between larvae and the presence of larger, more stable boulders. As a result, the species’ overall distribution was widespread but patchy. We suggest that the main limiting factor is the relative humidity experienced in different habitats. One of the most striking features of the behavioural observations during data collection was the extremely active adults, which suggests high energy expenditure over a very short period of time. This may be due to the limited time available to find mates in a single low-tide period, when adults have about three hours after emerging from the pupa to complete mating and oviposition before inundation by the tide. The data presented here provide a baseline for future studies on this species’ ecology, phenology, physiology and general biology.
