description: We report on an emergent dynamical phase of a strongly-correlated light-matter system, which is governed by dimerization processes due to short-range and long-range two-body interactions. The dynamical phase is characterized by the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the translational invariance and appears in an intermediate regime of light-matter interaction between the resonant and dispersive cases. We describe the quench dynamics from an initial state with integer filling factor of a finite-sized array of coupled resonators, each doped with a two-level system, in a closed and open scenario. The closed system dynamics has an effective Hilbert space description that allows us to demonstrate and characterize the emergent dynamical phase via time-averaged quantities, such as fluctuations in the number of polaritons per site and linear entropy. We prove that the dynamical phase is governed by intrinsic two-body interactions and the lattice topological structure. In the open system dynamics, we show evidence about the robustness of dynamical dimerization processes under loss mechanisms. Our findings can be used to determine the light-matter detuning range, where the dimerized phase emerges.

description: The recently discovered coexistence of incommensurate antiferromagnetic neutron scattering peaks and commensurate resonance in underdoped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ is calling for an explanation. Within the t-J model, the doping and energy dependence of the spin dynamics of the underdoped bilayer cuprates in the normal state is studied based on the fermion-spin theory by considering the bilayer interactions. Incommensurate peaks are found at $[(1\pmδ)π,π] $ and $[π,(1\pmδ)π]$ at low energies with $δ$ initially increasing with doping at low dopings and then saturating at higher dopings. These incommensurate peaks are suppressed, and the parameter $δ$ is reduced with increasing energy. Eventually it converges to the $[π,π]$ resonance peak. Thus the recently observed coexistence is interpreted in terms of bilayer interactions.

The Detectability of the First Stars and Their Cluster Enrichment Signatures

description: We conduct a comprehensive investigation of the detectability of the first stars and their enrichment signatures in galaxy clusters. We show that the mean metallicity of outflows from objects containing these Population III (PopIII) stars is well above the critical transition metallicity (Z_cr \sim 10^-4) that marks the formation of normal stars. Thus the fraction of PopIII objects formed as a function of redshift is heavily dependent on the distribution of metals and fairly independent of the precise value of Z_cr. Using an analytical model of inhomogenous structure formation, we study the evolution of PopIII objects as a function of the star formation efficiency, IMF, and efficiency of outflow generation. For all models, PopIII objects tend to be in the 10^6.5-10^7.0 solar mass range, just large enough to cool within a Hubble time, but small enough that they are not clustered near areas of previous star formation. Although the mean metallicity exceeds Z_cr at a redshift of 15 in all models, the peak of PopIII star formation occurs at z \sim 10, and such stars continue to form well into the observable range. We discuss the observational properties of these objects, some of which may have already been detected in ongoing surveys of high-redshift Lyman-alpha emitters. Finally, we combine our PopIII distributions with the yield models of Heger and Woosley (2002) to study their impact on the intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters. We find that PopIII stars can contribute no more than 20% of the iron observed in the ICM, although their peculiar elemental yields help to reconcile theoretical models with the observed Fe and Si/Fe abundances. However, these stars tend to overproduce S/Fe and their associated SN heating falls far short of the observed level of 1 keV per ICM gas particle.

description: The observation of lepton flavor violating processes at colliders could be a clear signal of a non-minimal neutrino sector. We define a 5-parameter model with a pair of TeV fermion singlets and arbitrary mixings with the three active neutrino flavors. Then we analyze several flavor violating transitions ($\ell\to \ell^{\prime}γ,\,\ell^{\prime}\ell^{\prime\prime}\bar{\ell}^{\prime\prime\prime}$ or $μ-e$ conversions in nuclei) and $Z\to\bar{\ell}\,\ell^{\prime}$ decays induced by the presence of heavy neutrinos. In particular, we calculate all the one-loop contributions to these processes and present their analytic expressions. We focus on the genuine effects of the heavy Majorana masses, comparing the results in that case with the ones obtained when the two heavy neutrinos define a Dirac field. Finally, we use our results to update the bounds on the heavy-light mixings in the neutrino sector.

description: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) chondrogenic differentiation contributes to the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). Numerous studies have indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the pathogenesis and development of multiple disorders, including OA. Nevertheless, the role of miR-20a-5p in OA remains obscure. Forty male C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups and were surgically induced OA or underwent sham surgery in the presence or absence of miR-20a-5p. Flow cytometry was implemented to detect surface markers of BMSCs. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed the upregulation of miR-20a-5p during BMSC chondrogenic differentiation. Western blotting displayed that miR-20a-5p inhibition decreased protein levels of cartilage matrix markers but enhanced those of catabolic and hypertrophic chondrocyte markers in BMSCs. Alcian blue staining, hematoxylin‑eosin staining and micro-CT revealed that miR-20a-5p inhibition restrained chondrogenic differentiation and miR-20a-5p overexpression promoted the repair of damaged cartilage and subchondral bone, respectively. Luciferase reporter assay identified that mitogen activated protein kinase kinase kinase 2 (Map3k2) was a target of miR-20a-5p in BMSCs. Moreover, the expression of miR-20a-5p and Map3k2 was negatively correlated in murine cartilage tissues. Knocking down Map3k2 could rescue the suppressive influence of miR-20a-5p inhibition on chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In conclusion, miR-20a-5p facilitates BMSC chondrogenic differentiation and contributes to cartilage repair in OA by suppressing Map3k2.

description: Numerous number of evidences show that high on-treatment platelet reactivity is a well-known risk factor for adverse events in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Controversial situations still exist regarding the effectiveness of tailoring antiplatelet therapy according to platelet function monitoring. The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central databases were searched for randomized trials comparing platelet reactivity-adjusted antiplatelet therapy with conventional antiplatelet therapy in patients undergoing PCI. The primary end point was all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including cardiovascular (CV) death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), definite/probable stent thrombosis (ST), revascularization, and stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). The safety end point was defined as major bleeding events. We derived pooled risk ratios (RRs) with fixed-effect models. Six studies enrolling 6347 patients were included. Compared with conventional treatment, tailoring antiplatelet failed to reduce all-cause mortality (RR: 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.63–1.24, P = 0.48), MACE (RR: 1.02, 95% CI: 0.92–1.14, P = 0.69), MI (RR: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.95–1.21, P = 0.24), CV death (RR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.40–1.19, P = 0.09), ST (RR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.50–1.38, P = 0.23), stroke or TIA (RR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.55–2.12, P = 0.83), revascularization (RR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.69–1.33, P = 0.79), and major bleeding events (RR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.53–1.17, P = 0.24). Compared with traditional antiplatelet treatment, tailoring antiplatelet therapy according to platelet reactivity testing failed to reduce all-cause mortality, MACE, and major bleeding events in patients undergoing PCI.

description: In the early days of superconductivity, Ivar Giaver discovered that it was possible to make a novel DC transformer by using one superconductor to drag vortices through another. An analogous effect was predicted to exist in quantum Hall bilayers and has recently been discovered experimentally by Eisenstein's group at Caltech. Similarly, new experiments from the Caltech group have demonstrated the existence of a Josephson-like `supercurrent' branch for electrons coherently tunnelling between the two layers.

 Mimachlamys Iredale, 1929: 162. Type species (by original designation): Pecten asperrimus Lamarck, 1819. Recent, southwestern, southern and southeastern Australia.
 Diagnosis. Medium-sized to large, byssate Mimachlamydini with chlamydoid shape, auricles highly unequal; a primitive hinge type with prominent resilial and dorsal teeth; macrosculpture of evenly spaced, undivided, solid radial plicae in most species, bearing spines, flanked with secondary costellae; antimarginal and/or divaricated interstitial microsculpture; byssal notch deep, ctenolium well-developed.
 Distribution. Eocene–Recent (Waller, 1991: 32). Indo-West Pacific and eastern Atlantic, living in the intertidal to sublittoral zones, byssally attached to rocks or coral and amongst rubble.
 Discussion. Hertlein (1969: N355) placed Mimachlamys in the synonymy of Chlamys Röding, 1798, as did Vaught (1989: 118). Waller (1991: 31; 1993: 200) established the morphological differences between Mimachlamys and Chlamys, and placed the former genus in Mimachlamydini.

description: Bronchiectasis is the permanent dilation of airways. Patients with the disease can suffer recurrent exacerbations, reducing their quality of life. The gold standard to diagnose and monitor bronchiectasis is accomplished by inspection of chest computed tomography (CT) scans. A clinician examines the broncho-arterial ratio to determine if an airway is brochiectatic. The visual analysis assumes the blood vessel diameter remains constant, although this assumption is disputed in the literature. We propose a simple measurement of tapering along the airways to diagnose and monitor bronchiectasis. To this end, we constructed a pipeline to measure the cross-sectional area along the airways at contiguous intervals, starting from the carina to the most distal point observable. Using a phantom with calibrated 3D printed structures, the precision and accuracy of our algorithm extends to the sub voxel level. The tapering measurement is robust to bifurcations along the airway and was applied to chest CT images acquired in clinical practice. The result is a statistical difference in tapering rate between airways with bronchiectasis and controls. Our code is available at https://github.com/quan14/AirwayTaperingInCT.

description: The colors and chemical abundances of early-type galaxies at redshifts z<0.3 are studied using a sample of nearly 9000 galaxies, selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. In this sample, redder galaxies have larger velocity dispersions. Color also correlates with magnitude and size, but these correlations are entirely due to the L-sigma and R_o-sigma relations: the primary correlation is color-sigma. The red light in early-type galaxies is, on average, slightly more centrally concentrated than the blue. Because of these color gradients, the strength of the color--magnitude relation depends on whether or not the colors are defined using a fixed metric aperture. Chemical evolution and star formation histories of early-type galaxies are investigated using co-added spectra of similar objects. At fixed sigma, the population at z ~ 0.2 had weaker Mg_2 and stronger H_beta absorption compared to the population at z ~ 0. It was also bluer. Comparison of these colors and line-strengths, and their evolution, with single-burst stellar population models suggests a formation time of 9 Gyrs ago, consistent with a Fundamental Plane analysis of this sample.

description: The system of supply management in the Canadian dairy sector requires that farmers acquire quota to produce milk. In Canada's largest dairy producing province, Quebec, a ceiling on the price of quotas has been in effect since 2007. Previous research established that the use of quota price ceilings create a new source of inefficiency in the Canadian dairy sector. An alternative method for lowering quota prices is to lower the rent from quotas through lowering the farm price of milk. I determine the magnitude of the decrease in the farm price of milk that would be required to reduce the valuation of Quebec dairy quotas to the current price ceiling of $25,000 per unit. Accomplishing this task requires modeling the implicit valuation of quotas during the price ceiling era. Starting from a dynamic model of the demand for quotas, I develop an econometric model to estimate producers' discount factor. Using my econometric results and the modeled equilibrium price, I estimate the price of dairy quotas over the period 1993-2010. In 2010, I estimate that dairy quotas in Quebec would have traded at a price of $31,955 in the absence of the price ceiling. My results indicate that lowering the valuation of quotas to $25,000 per unit would have required an 11.83% reduction in the farm price of milk.

description: Objective: This study aimed to determine the usefulness and effects of a pictogram for alerting patients about drugs that affect driving in order to prevent traffic injury and maintain good adherence. Method: The participants comprised 600 men and 600 women aged 20–79 (49.58 ± 16.21) years, registered with an Internet research company. All were licensed to drive a car and were taking prescribed medication. The outcome measures were: 1) awareness of existing pictogram, 2) perceived driving risk after viewing the pictogram, 3) usefulness of the pictogram, and 4) medication-taking and driving behavior after viewing the pictogram. Results: Few respondents (5.4%) were aware of the Japanese pictogram issued by the Council for Appropriate Drug Use. Participants evaluated their driving risk as moderate-to-high (3.51 ± 0.69) after viewing the pictogram, and risk perception was higher among respondents in their 50 s and 60 s than among those in their 20 s. Across all respondents, the pictogram was rated as follows (on a 5-point Likert scale): effective for warning, 3.79 ± 0.90; informative, 3.75 ± 0.84; understandable meaning (comprehensibility), 3.90 ± 0.96; simplicity, 3.71 ± 0.95; and eye-catching, 3.60 ± 0.98. We defined the following as positive behavior: taking medication according to the instructions of a medical professional (good compliance), stopping driving, and consulting medical professionals. The positive behavior rate was 63.2%. Being shown the pictogram might lead to more positive medication-taking and driving behavior among respondents who are female and have lower driving frequency, higher levels of risk perception, and higher evaluation of the pictogram compared to their counterparts. Conclusion: A pictogram is a potentially useful and effective tool for communicating risk and supporting decision-making by supplying drivers with tailored information. However, we assume that some people who drive frequently must drive for work, go to the hospital, etc. It is essential, in these cases, for medical professionals to be more deeply involved with the patients and to maintain lines of communication by listening to patients’ descriptions of their everyday life. By adding these pictograms to the labeling of potentially driver-impairing medications (such as by putting them on the outer packaging, package inserts, and inner medicine containers), it is expected that they can better inform users regarding safe behavior and promote medication adherence.

 Notagonum Darlington, 1952: The Carabid Beetles of New Guinea. Part 2. The Agonini: 127. Type species: Notagonum externum Darlington, 1852, by original designation.
 Diagnosis. Medium sized, fully winged, non metallic species with the complete set of setiferous punctures on head, prothorax, and elytra, slightly/weakly excised 4th tarsomere of the metatarsus, and glabrous lower surface of the 5th tarsomeres.
 The genus Notagonum was founded by Darlington (1952) for a group of platynine species of medium body size and average body shape, that possess all regular setiferous punctures on head, prothorax, and elytra, usually are fully winged, and do not bear any metallic colouration. In its external appearance this genus is similar to the northern genus Platynus Bonelli, 1810 (s.l.), but is distinguished from most species of Platynus by the absence of setae at the lower surface of the 5th tarsomere. Whether the genus Notagonum can be maintained in future, has be to checked by a general taxonomic and phylogenetic revision of the Oriental-Papuan Platynini, that, however, would be a major task and probably will not be undertaken in the near future. Some provisional thoughts on the phylogeny at least of the Platynini from Melanesia have been provided by Liebherr (2005).
 The genus was founded for two species from New Guinea, but additional species from Australia and the Indonesian and Philippine Archipelagos were either later described, e.g. by Louwerens (1955), or were transferred from other genera, mostly from Colpodes Macleay, 1825 s. l. (Moore et al., 1987; Lorenz, 2005). In terms of species, the genus is still most numerous in New Guinea (Darlington, 1952; 1971; Baehr, 2010a; 2010b). From Timor so far a single species was recorded, namely Notagonum pleurale (Jordan, 1894) that was originally described as a species of Colpodes.
 As far as their habits have been recorded (see Darlington, 1952), most species of the genus Notagonum inhabit more or less wet environments, where some even live on the banks of rivers and creeks. Some species, however, have been collected in leaf litter in more or less closed forest. All species are ground living, and most have been sampled at low to median altitudes, but in New Guinea a few species even occur at rather high altitude.Almost all specimens from Timor likewise were collected in rain or moss forest between 735 and 1250 m, but a single specimen was sampled at 2050 m in a Eucalyptus urophyllum-Vaccinium pasture gully.
  Notagonum pleurale (Jordan, 1894: 110)  (Timor): not collected.

description: Rapid growth in Asia’s emerging economies has boosted export earnings of resource-rich economies over the past decade. Will those high growth rates continue, and how will structural changes in Asia alter the relative importance of their imports of primary products? This paper projects production and trade patterns of Africa and Latin America to 2030 under various growth and policy scenarios in Asia, using the GTAP model of the global economy. We compare a projection assuming relatively conservative economic growth in China and India with a projection in which those economies continue to grow rapidly (albeit slower than in the previous decade). We then compare our conservative growth baseline with two alternative scenarios: one assumes Africa and Latin America choose to invest more in public agricultural R&D to take advantage of Asian import growth; the other assumes China and India dampen that growth by restricting their imports of key foodgrains. The final section summarizes the results and draws out policy implications for Latin America and Africa.

description: The aim of this investigation is the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by developing methotrexate-loaded calcium phosphate nanoparticles (MTX-CAP-NP) and to evaluate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behavior in adjuvant induced arthritis model. The nanoparticles were synthesized by wet precipitation method and optimized by Box-Behnken experimental design. MTX-CAP-NPs were characterized by TEM, FTIR, DSC and XRD studies. The particle size, zeta potential and entrapment efficiency of the optimized nanoparticles were found to be 204.90 ± 64 nm, −11.58 ± 4.80 mV, and 88.33 ± 3.74%, respectively. TEM, FTIR, DSC and XRD studies revealed that the developed nanoparticles were nearly spherical in shape and the crystalline structure of CAP-NP was not changed after MTX loading. The pharmacokinetic studies revealed that MTX-CAP-NP enhanced bioavailability of MTX by 2.6-fold when compared to marketed formulation (FOLITRAX-10). Under pharmacodynamic evaluation, arthritic assessment, radiography and histopathology studies revealed that CAP has ability to regenerate cartilage and bone therefore, together with MTX, MTX-CAP-NPs have shown significant reduction in disease progression. The overall work demonstrated that the developed nanodelivery system was well tolerated and more effective than the marketed formulation.

description: We present a first-principles numerical implementation of Landauer formalism for electrical transport in nanostructures characterized down to the atomic level. The novelty and interest of our method lies essentially on two facts. First of all, it makes use of the versatile Gaussian98 code, which is widely used within the quantum chemistry community. Secondly, it incorporates the semi-infinite electrodes in a very generic and efficient way by means of Bethe lattices. We name this method the Gaussian Embedded Cluster Method (GECM). In order to make contact with other proposed implementations, we illustrate our technique by calculating the conductance in some well-studied systems such as metallic (Al and Au) nanocontacts and C-atom chains connected to metallic (Al and Au) electrodes. In the case of Al nanocontacts the conductance turns out to be quite dependent on the detailed atomic arrangement. On the contrary, the conductance in Au nanocontacts presents quite universal features. In the case of C chains, where the self-consistency guarantees the local charge transfer and the correct alignment of the molecular and electrode levels, we find that the conductance oscillates with the number of atoms in the chain regardless of the type of electrode. However, for short chains and Al electrodes the even-odd periodicity is reversed at equilibrium bond distances.

SUSY threshold corrections to quark and lepton mixing inspired by $SO(10)$ GUT models

description: In the standard model (SM), the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix is the only origin of flavor violations (FVs). On the other hand, in general, there are a lot of sources of the FVs in a physics beyond the SM, through the diagonalizing matrices which make Yukawa matrices diagonal. Although most of the diagonalizing matrices are unknown ones, grand unified theories (GUTs) can fix these matrices. In particular, if we consider a GUT model based on the $SO(10)$ group, these diagonalizing matrices are strongly related to each other because of the matter unification. However, this unification causes the problem on the realization of measured SM fermion masses and mixing angles. Up to now, many people showed that supersymmetric (SUSY) threshold corrections can solve this problem, especially unfavorable fermion mass relations. In this paper, we show that how these SUSY threshold corrections affect unknown diagonalizing matrices. Since these contributions are also related to the FVs induced by SUSY particles, we can estimate the maximal effect to the diagonalizing matrices. We found that the $(1, 3)$ and $(3, 1)$ elements of diagonalizing matrices for quarks can be as large as the corresponding mixing angle of the CKM matrix. Moreover, we found that the higher SUSY scale can predict the larger mixing angles, although strong cancellation between the Higgs mass parameters is needed to realize the electroweak symmetry breaking.

description: In an ever-more-competitive global market, vignerons compete for the attention of consumers by trying to differentiate their product while also responding to technological advances, climate changes and evolving demand patterns. In doing so, they increasingly highlight their regional and varietal distinctiveness. This paper examines the extent to which the mix of winegrape varieties in Australia differs from the rest of the world and differs across wine regions within the country, and how that picture has altered over the first decade of this century. It reports varietal intensity indexes for different regions, indexes of similarity of varietal mix between regions and over time, and quality indexes across regions and varieties within Australia. The study is based mainly on a new global database of vine bearing areas circa 2000 and 2010, supplemented by a more-detailed database for Australia. It reveals that the varietal distinctiveness of Australia vis-à-vis the rest of the world, and varietal differentation between regions within the country, are far less than for other countries – a pattern that has become even more pronounced since 2000. It concludes that there is much scope for Australia’s winegrape plantings to become more diversified as producers respond to market and climate changes.

description: A novel rhodamine-based chemosensor (R) was designed and synthesised for selective recognition of Hg2+ ion in real water samples collected from different places. The chemosensor was prepared in green condition with high yield. The selectivity of R was examined with various metal ions, among which only Hg2+ was identified selectively with off–on mechanism along with enhancement of fluorescence. Metal ions recognition has been carried out using UV–vis and fluorescence studies taking µM concentration of chemosensor R in HEPES buffer. The detection limit of R was calculated and found to be 4.4 × 10–9 M. Quantum chemical (DFT) calculation was carried out in order to acquire knowledge about the stability of R in presence of Hg2+ ions. Cell viability and fluorescence microscopic experiments showed R as cytocompatible and can be used as a fluorescent probe for detecting Hg2+ in living cells.

 Aristolebia Bates, 1892, Viaggio di Leonardo Fea in Birmania e regione vicine. XLIV. List of the Carabidae. Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale de Genova 32: 428. Type species: Aristolebia quadridentata Bates, 1892, by monotypy.
 Diagnosis. Main diagnostic characters of the genus Aristolebia are: wide, depressed body; large, semicircular, laterally much protruded eye; semicircular pronotum without definite apical angles; angulate external angle of the elYtra; concave excision of the apex of the elytra; presence of two preapical excisions at the inner surface of the mesotibia in the male; apparently also the odd-shaped, very strongly sclerotized aedeagus and the likewise odd-shaped and comparatively very large genital ring; and wide, more or less triangular, asetose gonocoxite 2 of the female.
 In many other characters Aristolebia is rather similar to the large genus Lebia Latreille, 1802 (sensu lato) which is certainly closely related.
 The fourteen presently recorded species of the genus Aristolebia are distributed from southern India to China, the Philippines, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Flores, New Guinea, and northern Australia (Csiki, 1932; Jedlicka, 1963; Darlington, 1968; Moore et al., 1987; Kabak, 2003; Baehr, 2004b; 2010d; 2011; 2015a; Lorenz, 2005; Kirschenhofer, 2012). Most species of this genus are only available in small numbers and some are even known just from the holotype, which deficiencY most probablY is caused bY the almost unrecorded habits of the species and, as a consequence, by the inadequate sampling methods employed. The new species described herein is likewise available only as the holotype. However, in view of the very characteristic colour patterns of pronotum and elytra in almost all species of Aristolebia and of the characteristicallY and rather differentlY shaped female gonocoxites (see Baehr. 2010; 2015a), it is considered reasonable to describe the new species on the basis of a single female.
The few records and the apparent difficulties in sampling of specimens suggest that the present distribution of the species, as well as the species diversity, are quite inadequately known, and that additional species may be detected in future within, but probably also outside of the hitherto recorded range of the genus.

description: How do coalitions form in games with externalities? This is important for understanding whether full cooperation be sustained in tackling problems such as climate change. In traditional coalition formation games, each player makes a binary decision on whether or not to cooperate. But what if players within coalitions choose not to cooperate fully with each other? This study looks at the coalition formation process

description: Making the assumption that high energy fermions exist in the two dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet we present predictions based on the pi-flux ansatz for the dynamic structure factor when the antiferromagnet is subject to a uniform magnetic field. The main result is the presence of gapped excitations in a momentum region near (pi,pi) with energy lower than that at (pi,pi). This is qualitatively different from spin wave theory predictions and may be tested by experiments or by quantum Monte Carlo.
