What Are the Republicans Talking About Now?

Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: In the aftermath of the election, the notion that the Republican Party was facing what might delicately be called an uphill demographic battle was frequently raised. This was made evident by the age and ethnicity demographics in the U.S., and by President Obama's decisive victory in his bid for reelection. Since the election, the Republican Party's demographic problem has manifested itself in another significant way. Because of their narrow demographic and ideological base, the Republican Party and its leadership, inside and outside of congress, has proven itself to be increasingly out of touch with the citizenry it seeks to govern.

description: Baseball has been experiencing an interesting power shift over the last few years. Just as complaints about east coast bias in baseball coverage became widespread, east coast baseball began to get a lot less interesting. Today California, not New York and Boston is where some of the best and most exciting baseball is likely to be played. Obviously, California has five teams, which is more than New York and Boston combined, but among teams in the northeast, defined relatively broadly, only the Washington Nationals have a good chance of playing deep into October next year. The Nationals are also the only east coast team with exciting young players comparable to those in California.

description: Computing is a high-level process of a physical system. Recent interest in non-standard computing systems, including quantum and biological computers, has brought this physical basis of computing to the forefront. There has been, however, no consensus on how to tell if a given physical system is acting as a computer or not; leading to confusion over novel computational devices, and even claims that every physical event is a computation. In this paper we introduce a formal framework that can be used to determine whether or not a physical system is performing a computation. We demonstrate how the abstract computational level interacts with the physical device level, drawing the comparison with the use of mathematical models to represent physical objects in experimental science. This powerful formulation allows a precise description of the similarities between experiments, computation, simulation, and technology, leading to our central conclusion: physical computing is the use of a physical system to predict the outcome of an abstract evolution. We give conditions that must be satisfied in order for computation to be occurring, and illustrate these with a range of non-standard computing scenarios. The framework also covers broader computing contexts, where there is no obvious human computer user. We define the critical notion of a 'computational entity', and show the role this plays in defining when computing is taking place in physical systems.

description: Scaling properties of time series are usually studied in terms of the scaling laws of empirical moments, which are the time average estimates of moments of the dynamic variable. Nonlinearities in the scaling function of empirical moments are generally regarded as a sign of multifractality in the data. We show that, except for the Brownian motion, this method fails to disclose the correct monofractal nature of self-similar Lévy processes. We prove that for this class of processes it produces apparent multifractality characterised by a piecewise-linear scaling function with two different regimes, which match at the stability index of the considered process. This result is motivated by previous numerical evidence. It is obtained by introducing an appropriate stochastic normalisation which is able to cure empirical moments, without hiding their dependence on time, when moments they aim at estimating do not exist.

 Material examined
 Five males (FDHAL-21/3), one deutonymph, El Pris (Gelidium sp., upper-mid littoral zone); three females, six males, La Barranquera (Corallina ferreyrae, mediolittoral zone).
 Diagnosis
 Idiosoma length in females was 420–430 µm, in males, 360–430 µm and in deutonymph 350 µm. Idiosoma wide, flattened and heavily armed. AD and PD slightly raised longitudinal costae. AD areola M-shaped and the plate slightly longer than wide. OC with two corneae. The species can easily be recognized by having a ventral and two anterior spines on telofemur I, a ventral and three anterior spines on tibia I, two of which are adjacent (Fig. 3C) (Pepato and Tiago 2003; Mytilineou et. al. 2016; Durucan 2021).
 Remarks
 This species is present, at least, in the Mediterranean Sea and eastern Atlantic Ocean (Viets 1940; Bartsch 2009). The morphological characteristics of the specimens reported here accord with records previously given by Mytilineou et al. (2016) and Durucan (2021).

Estimating Cross-validatory Predictive P-values with Integrated Importance Sampling for Disease Mapping Models

description: An important statistical task in disease mapping problems is to identify divergent regions with unusually high or low risk of disease. Leave-one-out cross-validatory (LOOCV) model assessment is the gold standard for estimating predictive p-values that can flag such divergent regions. However, actual LOOCV is time-consuming because one needs to rerun a Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis for each posterior distribution in which an observation is held out as a test case. This paper introduces a new method, called integrated importance sampling (iIS), for estimating LOOCV predictive p-values with only Markov chain samples drawn from the posterior based on a full data set. The key step in iIS is that we integrate away the latent variables associated the test observation with respect to their conditional distribution \textit{without} reference to the actual observation. By following the general theory for importance sampling, the formula used by iIS can be proved to be equivalent to the LOOCV predictive p-value. We compare iIS and other three existing methods in the literature with two disease mapping datasets. Our empirical results show that the predictive p-values estimated with iIS are almost identical to the predictive p-values estimated with actual LOOCV, and outperform those given by the existing three methods, namely, the posterior predictive checking, the ordinary importance sampling, and the ghosting method by Marshall and Spiegelhalter (2003).

In this paper, we present simultaneous Swift and Konus-WIND observations of this unusual GRB and its afterglow. If the two events originated from the same physical progenitor, their different time-dependent spectral evolution suggests they must belong to different episodes of the central engine, which may be a magnetar-to-BH accretion system.

description: Presented at the Environmental justice in the Anthropocene symposium held on April 24-25, 2017 at the Lory Student Center, Colorado State University, Fort Collins Colorado. This symposium aims to bring together academics (faculty and graduate students), independent researchers, community and movement activists, and regulatory and policy practitioners from across disciplines, research areas, perspectives, and different countries. Our overarching goal is to build on several decades of EJ research and practice to address the seemingly intractable environmental and ecological problems of this unfolding era. How can we explore EJ amongst humans and between nature and humans, within and across generations, in an age when humans dominate the landscape? How can we better understand collective human dominance without obscuring continuing power differentials and inequities within and between human societies? What institutional and governance innovations can we adopt to address existing challenges and to promote just transitions and futures?
description: The need for more sustainable cities is a key point of the EU Urban Agenda. Although the attention to social inclusion, especially in the most deprived urban areas, is an important pillar of this strategy, a clear evaluation of the social impacts of sustainability programs in EU Cities is however still missing. This paper aims to fill this gap, by analyzing, in comparative perspective, the social impacts of green renewal in Europe. By selecting as case studies Vienna and Copenhagen and implementing a mixed method approach to empirical investigation (quantitative data gathering; interviews with key informants in cities; ethnographic research in areas of the cities affected by green urban renewal and programs for sustainability; comparative analysis of data and information) the research identifies intended and unintended impacts of these strategies in terms of social and spatial inequality among social groups. The main communalities between Vienna and Copenhagen are the strong promotion of strategies of green urban renewal as asset for attractivity and demographic growth (inner-districts green renewal, waterfront redevelopment, new eco-districts). The most important differences are related to the affordability of the housing market resulting from the implementation of such strategies, a factor that plays a huge role in fostering or containing social and spatial inequalities in contemporary Green European cities.

description: Systematic and automatic calculations of the electronic band structure are a crucial component of computationally-driven high-throughput materials screening. An algorithm, for any crystal, to derive a unique description of the crystal structure together with a recommended band path is indispensable for this task. The electronic band structure is typically sampled along a path within the first Brillouin zone including the surface in reciprocal space. Some points in reciprocal space have higher site symmetries and/or have higher constraints than other points regarding the electronic band structure and therefore are likely to be more important than other points. This work categorizes points in reciprocal space according to their symmetry and provides recommended band paths that cover all special wavevector (k-vector) points and lines necessarily and sufficiently. Points in reciprocal space are labeled such that there is no conflict with the crystallographic convention. The k-vector coefficients of labeled points, which are located at Brillouin zone face and edge centers as well as vertices, are derived based on a primitive cell compatible with the crystallographic convention, including those with axial ratio-dependent coordinates. Furthermore, we provide an open-source implementation of the algorithms within our SeeK-path python code, to allow researchers to obtain k-vector coefficients and recommended band paths in an automated fashion. Finally, we created a free online service to compute and visualise Brillouin Zone, labeled k-points and suggested band paths for any crystal structure, that we made available at http://www.materialscloud.org/tools/seekpath/ .

The main improvement is that it can generate the 1-4 Pachner moves and its matrix elements contain 15j Wigner symbols, it is therefore compatible with the spinfoam formalism: the drawback is that Thiemann anomaly free proof is spoiled because the nodes that the constraint creates have volume.

On Monotone linear relations and the sum problem in Banach spaces
Creators: name: Yao, Liangjin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: We study monotone operators in general Banach spaces. Properties and characterizations of monotone linear relations are presented. We focus on the "sum problem" which is the most famous open problem in Monotone Operator Theory, and we provide a powerful sufficient condition for the sum problem. We work on classical types of maximally monotone operators and provide affirmative answers to several open problems posed by Phelps and by Simons. Borwein-Wiersma decomposition and Asplund decomposition of maximally monotone operators are also studied.
Investigation of Amyloid β Oligomer Dissociation Mechanisms by Single Molecule Fluorescence Techniques

Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries

description: Abstract:
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is currently considered the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and places a large financial burden on society as healthcare resources are limited and the disease does not have a cure. Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by the presence of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles; however current literature suggests Aβ oligomers are the main aggregating species leading to AD symptoms. Therefore, the underlying cause of Alzheimer’s, accumulation of amyloid beta, is currently being studied in hopes of developing treatment options. Our research aims at determining the mechanism and kinetics of Aβ oligomer dissociation into non-toxic monomers in the presence of denaturants or small molecule dissociators. These highly active small molecule dissociators, selected from the Apex Screen 5040 library, were previously identified by ELISA studies by the laboratory of Dr. Harry LeVine. We have used fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) to characterize the size distribution and mole fraction of synthetically prepared fluorescein labeled Aβ (1-42) oligomers. Our FCS results show that in the presence of denaturants or small molecule dissociators, oligomer dissociation may proceed by at least two different mechanisms; high order cooperative dissociation and linear dissociation. A cooperative mechanism is more desirable for therapeutics as oligomer directly dissociates into monomer rather than through various oligomer intermediates. Our FCS studies show the most efficient dissociators proceed through the cooperative dissociation mechanism. We also observed a large retardation of the oligomer dissociation in the presence of gallic acid. We also started preliminary work to develop a total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) spectroscopy method to image Aβ (1-42) oligomers. This technique if successful will help to verify the two distinct mechanisms seen by FCS or determine if there is one mechanism that occurs at different rates as TIRF allows for faster analysis.

description: From 2003-2005, a wave of Color Revolutions brought about regime change in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan. These Color Revolutions all saw fraudulent elections lead to the ouster of undemocratic leaders. Although, for the most part these events failed to bring about the democratic advances which many hoped they would, the Color Revolutions were dramatic, largely peaceful events which inspired many people in that region and beyond. The wave of Color Revolutions did not last long, as fraudulent elections in Azerbaijan in 2005 and Belarus in 2006 led to some demonstrations followed by displays of state strength that ended those demonstrations quickly. Despite efforts in Iran and elsewhere, the Color Revolution model has not been successfully replicated since 2005. Nonetheless, it is impossible not to watch the developing events in Belarus and think about Color Revolution.

Then, we obtain the following results. 1, We give the amplitude and the width of the neutron beta decay, $n \to p + e^- + \bar ν_e $ to one loop order. It is carried out by the Feynman parameter integration. 2, As the result, we find the terms which can be interpreted as the Fermi function expanded to order $α$. 3, We also give the same result using complex analysis. 4, We check that there are no such terms in the similar process, $\bar ν_e + p \to e^+ + n$. 5, We perform the Fermi function expanded to order $α^2$ using complex analysis.

description: The increasing number of recording electrodes enhances the capability of capturing the network's cooperative activity, however, using too many monitors might alter the properties of the measured neural network and induce noise. Using a technique that merges simultaneous multi-patch-clamp and multi-electrode array recordings of neural networks in-vitro, we show that the membrane potential of a single neuron is a reliable and super-sensitive probe for monitoring such cooperative activities and their detailed rhythms. Specifically, the membrane potential and the spiking activity of a single neuron are either highly correlated or highly anti-correlated with the time-dependent macroscopic activity of the entire network. This surprising observation also sheds light on the cooperative origin of neuronal burst in cultured networks. Our findings present an alternative flexible approach to the technique based on a massive tiling of networks by large-scale arrays of electrodes to monitor their activity.

Role of aminopeptidase N in wound healing

description: The dynamics and complexity of tissue repair are dominated by specific and intricately coordinated cellular events. Disruptions at the level of cellular communication are associated with imbalanced extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis/degradation leading to fibrosis and chronic wounds. Our group has demonstrated that 14-3-3 sigma (also known as stratifin) functions as a stimulator of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) through interactions with aminopeptidase N (APN) on the surface of dermal fibroblasts. In this doctoral research project, it is hypothesized that APN functions as a receptor for keratinocyte-derived paracrine signals that control the expression of key ECM components in dermal fibroblasts. Three specific objectives were accomplished in this project. Under Objective 1, the nature of APN expression in an environment of active epithelial-stromal communication was examined using an in vitro keratinocyte-fibroblast crosstalk model. The fibroblast expression of APN was significantly upregulated in the presence of keratinocyte-releasable soluble factors, of which stratifin was shown to be a potent stimulator. In light of the recent identification of APN as a receptor responsible for stratifin-mediated p38 MAPK activation leading to upregulation of MMP-1, the role of APN as a transmembrane mediator of signals that regulate ECM remodeling was investigated in Objective 2. Comparative analysis of the expression profiles of 118 ECM genes under conditions of keratinocyte stimulation and APN gene silencing revealed a group of key matrix proteases and adhesion molecules influenced by keratinocyte-derived signaling mediated through APN. The aim of Objective 3 was to explore the therapeutic potential of targeting APN in cutaneous tissue repair. Topical application of an APN-neutralizing antibody on full-thickness skin wounds in a murine model had a positive outcome in healing. Acceleration of wound closure was accompanied by increased collagen deposition and fibroblast contractility. Collectively, the findings presented herein confirmed our hypothesis that APN can be induced by keratinocytes and acts as a regulator of keratinocyte-derived stimuli in epidermal-dermal communication. Specifically, these findings support the receptor role of APN in mediating transmembrane signals derived from keratinocytes, and provide encouraging evidence for further investigations on the therapeutic use of APN agonist/antagonists in the field of tissue repair.

description: A heuristic law widely used in fluid dynamics for steady flows states that the amount of a fluid in a control volume is the product of the fluid influx and the mean time that the particles of the fluid spend in the volume, or mean residence time. We rigorously prove that if the mean residence time is introduced in terms of sample-path averages, then stochastic lattice-gas models with general injection, diffusion, and extraction dynamics verify this law. Only mild assumptions are needed in order to make the particles distinguishable so that their residence time can be unambiguously defined. We use our general result to obtain explicit expressions of the mean residence time for the Ising model on a ring with Glauber + Kawasaki dynamics and for the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries.
The Abkhaz Dilemma and the Czar's Dog
Creators: name: Mitchell, Lincoln A.
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: East Europeans

description: There is an old story about a pogrom in Czarist Russia. During the pogrom, attackers break into a Jewish home, destroy much of the meager property inside and threaten to kill the man of the house. The terrified man pleads for his life and is finally spared under the condition that he teach the Czar’s dog to talk within one year. If he fails, his attackers promise they will come back and kill him. When the attackers leave, the man’s wife says to him “Are you crazy? How are you ever going to teach the Czar’s dog to talk?” The man responds “Who knows?  In a year, the dog might die, or the Czar might die.”

description: Copidognathus lamelloides Bartsch, 2000
 Material examined One male (FDHAL-21/5), El Pris (Corallina ferreyrae, 1–2 m).
 Diagnosis
 Idiosoma of only one male was 262 µm long and 187 µm wide. AD with 3 round raised areolae with rosette pores. OC almost as long as AD. Glp-1 is in margins of porose areolae. Telofemora I and II with small ventral lamellae. Tibia IV has bipectinate setae (Fig. 3E). According to Bartsch (2001), C. lamelloides resembles to C. brevipes. Distinguishing characters are: position of glp-1 (in margins of porose areolae vs near lateral margin of AD), ds-2 (within striated integument vs on OC), length:height ratio of telofemur I (1.7–2.1 vs 1.5–1.6) and shape of ventromedial seta on tibia IV (bipectinate vs smooth).
 Remarks
This species was originally described by Bartsch (2000) from Atlantic France (Baie de Morlaix). It is present in the north eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea (Bartsch 2009). The morphological characteristics of the specimen from Tenerife agree with the previous reports of the species from Crimea (Black Sea) (Bartsch 2001) and Türkiye (Levantine Sea) (Durucan 2019b).

The Fortuin-Kasteleyn and Damage Spreading transitions in Random bond Ising lattices

description: The Fortuin-Kasteleyn and heat-bath damage spreading temperatures T_{FK}(p) and T_{ds}(p) are studied on random bond Ising models of dimension two to five and as functions of the ferromagnetic interaction probability p; the conjecture that T_{ds}(p) ~ T_{FK}(p) is tested. It follows from a statement by Nishimori that in any such system exact coordinates can be given for the intersection point between the Fortuin-Kasteleyn T_{FK}(p) transition line and the Nishimori line, [p_{NL,FK},T_{NL,FK}]. There are no finite size corrections for this intersection point. In dimension three, at the intersection concentration [p_{NL,FK}] the damage spreading T_{ds}(p) is found to be equal to T_{FK}(p) to within 0.1%. For the other dimensions however T_{ds}(p) is observed to be systematically a few percent lower than T_{FK}(p).

Large Deviations in Discrete-Time Renewal Theory

description: We establish sharp large deviation principles for cumulative rewards associated with a discrete-time renewal model, supposing that each renewal involves a broad-sense reward taking values in a real separable Banach space. The framework we consider is the pinning model of polymers, which amounts to a Gibbs change of measure of a classical renewal process and includes it as a special case. We first tackle the problem in a constrained pinning model, where one of the renewals occurs at a given time, by an argument based on convexity and super-additivity. We then transfer the results to the original pinning model by resorting to conditioning.
