description: At sufficiently high baryon densities, the physics of a dense quark-gluon plasma may be investigated through the tools of perturbative QCD. This approach has recently been successfully applied to the study of color superconductivity, where the dominant di-quark pairing interaction arises from one gluon exchange. Screening in the plasma leads to novel behaviour, including a remarkable non-BCS scaling of T_C, the transition temperature to the color superconducting phase. Radiative corrections to one gluon exchange were previously considered and found to affect T_C. In particular, the quark self-energy in a plasma leads to non-Fermi liquid behaviour and suppresses T_C. However, at the same time, the quark-gluon vertex was shown not to modify the result at leading order. This dichotomy between the effects of the radiative corrections at first appears rather surprising, as the BRST identity connects the self-energy to the vertex corrections. Nevertheless, as we demonstrate, there is in fact no contradiction with the BRST identity, at least to leading log order. This clarifies some of the previous statements on the importance of the higher order corrections to the determination of T_C and the zero temperature gap in color superconductivity.

 Notes. – The only original material preserved in G-PREL [G00360112], an uncited specimen from unknown origin, represents a juvenile of Acrostichum aureum L., as determined by A.H.G. Alston (label). Aware of this, MORTON (1974: 316) was not sure whether this gathering should be considered as the type (“If this really is the type”) and therefore did not designate a lectotype (TURLAND et al. 2018: Art. 7.11). MAZUMDAR (2015) selected one of the illustrations cited in the protologue (RHEEDE, 1693: 21, tab. 10) as lectotype and designated an epitype to fix the taxonomy of this name.

description: We consider a mortal random walker on a family of hierarchical graphs in the presence of some trap sites. The configuration comprising the graph, the starting point of the walk, and the locations of the trap sites is taken to be exactly self-similar as one goes from one generation of the family to the next. Under these circumstances, the total probability that the walker hits a trap is determined exactly as a function of the single-step survival probability $q$ of the mortal walker. On the $n^{\rm th}$ generation graph of the family, this probability is shown to be given by the $n^{\rm th}$ iterate of a certain scaling function or map $q \rightarrow f(q)$. The properties of the map then determine, in each case, the behavior of the trapping probability, the mean time to trapping, the temporal scaling factor governing the random walk dimension on the graph, and other related properties. The formalism is illustrated for the cases of a linear hierarchical lattice and the Sierpinski graphs in $2$ and $3$ Euclidean dimensions. We find an effective reduction of the random walk dimensionality due to the ballistic behavior of the surviving particles induced by the mortality constraint. The relevance of this finding for experiments involving travel times of particles in diffusion-decay systems is discussed.

description: This case investigated the agriculture cooperatives in Brazil, in comparison with the top ten in the world. The first Brazilian cooperative was created in 1889, with the dawn of the Republic, Cooperativa Econômica dos Funcionários Públicos de Ouro Preto, located at Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil. Originally, it was founded to foster the cooperate consumption of agriculture products. However, it took 82 years until the Brazilian Federal Government regulates Cooperatives, issuing Law no 5,764, from December 16, 1971. There are currently 13 different types of cooperatives operating in Brazil (Agriculture ones included), represented by the Brazilian Cooperatives Organization (Organização das Cooperativas Brasileiras – OCB). In this article, we compared the current facts and figures of the Brazilian agriculture cooperatives along with World Co-operative Monitor's, discussed in this descriptive single case. We found increasing participation of the agriculture cooperatives in the Brazilian economy, approximately 1,618 cooperatives, representing 23 percent of cooperatives in 2018. Agriculture cooperatives operation in Brazil were then analyzed, critical success factors and best practices to the sector were discussed in this article. Finally, future research recommendations complete the present article.
Assessing the production and impact of migration narratives: BRIDGES key findings

description: Interpretations are what determine responses much more than raw facts. This is true in all societal fields but in migration this is particularly evident. Despite the undisputable relevance of numbers for migratory processes and their consequences, interpretations are more and more related to broader problems such as anxiety about states’ perceived inability to control migration; fears about national identity and core values; or concerns about growing socioeconomic inequalities. Regardless of more evidence-based technocratic accounts, these anxieties often lead to symbolic policy decisions with major political and societal consequences. A paradigmatic example of the importance of narratives on migration is the different response to the European 2015 and 2022 refugee crises. While in 2015 Europe said enough after few months and a little bit more than one million refugees, in 2022 more than 5 million refugees were not even perceived as a crisis and temporary protection was immediately given on a collective basis. The different responses had to do with different interpretations about geographic and cultural proximity but also about whose war (in Syria and Ukraine) was perceived to be.

description: Abstract Aims: In the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study, half the participants reached the primary outcome (HbA1c≥8% for at least 6 months) within 4 years which was associated with a decrease in C-peptide oral disposition index (oDI). We aimed to identify circulating miRNA species associated with decline in beta cell function. Methods: Following a preliminary survey of select participants using nCounter Human v3 miRNA Panel (NanoString Technologies), polymerase chain reaction analyses were carried out for 17 miRNAs from 365 participants from samples at baseline, 24, 60, 96, and 120 months Results: Using backward elimination modeling and adjusting for demographic characteristics, three baseline miRNA log2 fold changes remained significant predictors of this C-peptide oDI decline ≥20% (p<0.05). Increased levels of miR-155 (OR:1.2, 95%CI:1.1-1.4) and miR-130b (OR:1.3, 95%CI: 1.0-1.7) were associated with oDI decline, while decreased levels of miRNA-126 (OR:0.6, 95%CI: 0.4-0.8) were associated with oDI decline. miR-122 was negatively correlated with C-peptide oDI at baseline and 24-months (R=0.22, p<0.01 and R=0.19, p<0.01, respectively), and positively correlated with proinsulin, at baseline, 24-, and 60- months (R=0.26, p<0.01, R=0.26, p<0.01, R=0.18, p<0.01, respectively). Conclusions: The miRNA species associated with beta cell function are associated with alterations in cellular metabolism and apoptosis, suggesting that differences in baseline abundance may serve as circulating markers of beta cell dysfunction and provide potential mechanistic insights into the aggressive nature of youth-onset type 2 diabetes.

 Lectotypus (designated here): SRI LANKA: sine loco, s.d., Hermann s.n. (BIF-CEYL p. 152, upper specimen) (Fig. 3).
 = Osmunda regalis L., Sp. Pl.: 1065. 1753.
 Notes. – No original material of Polypodium acutum has been located in G-PREL. BURMAN (1768) referred only to three pre-Linnaean polynomial names and an illustration (PLUKENET, 1694: tab. 285, fig. 1). One of these polynomial names referred to Burman’s father work: “ Burm. Zeyl. 98 ”. Johannes Burman’s Thesaurus zeylanicus, published in 1737, was based mainly on a Paul Hermann herbarium from Ceylon. This herbarium is bound in a folio volume now kept in BIF-CEYL with Benjamin Delessert’s personal library (see LOURTEIG, 1966). Page 152 of this bound herbarium features a collection of Polypodium acutum, bearing a reference to the protologue as well as the name of the new species, both from N.L. Burman’s hand. This collection, representing original material, is here designated as lectotype (Fig. 3).
 The lectotype matches with sterile pinnae of the fern Osmunda regalis, showing similar shape of pinnules and free venation. This species is widely cultivated and popularly known as ‘royal fern’. It does not occur naturally in Sri Lanka (SLEDGE, 1981) and Hermann probably collected a cultivated plant.

description: Motivation: Human genomic datasets often contain sensitive information that limits use and sharing of the data. In particular, simple anonymisation strategies fail to provide sufficient level of protection for genomic data, because the data are inherently identifiable. Differentially private machine learning can help by guaranteeing that the published results do not leak too much information about any individual data point. Recent research has reached promising results on differentially private drug sensitivity prediction using gene expression data. Differentially private learning with genomic data is challenging because it is more difficult to guarantee the privacy in high dimensions. Dimensionality reduction can help, but if the dimension reduction mapping is learned from the data, then it needs to be differentially private too, which can carry a significant privacy cost. Furthermore, the selection of any hyperparameters (such as the target dimensionality) needs to also avoid leaking private information. Results: We study an approach that uses a large public dataset of similar type to learn a compact representation for differentially private learning. We compare three representation learning methods: variational autoencoders, PCA and random projection. We solve two machine learning tasks on gene expression of cancer cell lines: cancer type classification, and drug sensitivity prediction. The experiments demonstrate significant benefit from all representation learning methods with variational autoencoders providing the most accurate predictions most often. Our results significantly improve over previous state-of-the-art in accuracy of differentially private drug sensitivity prediction.

We find the vortex solutions and demonstrate that the two simplest supersymmetric cosmic string models admit fermionic superconductivity. Further, by using supersymmetry transformations, we show how to solve for the fermion zero modes giving rise to string superconductivity in terms of the background string fields.

Parotia wahnesi Rothschild (in Foerster and Rothschild), 1906: 2 (mountains of German New Guinea).
Now Parotia wahnesi Rothschild, 1906. See Hartert, 1919: 128; Mayr, 1931c: 649; 1962d: 196; Gilliard, 1969: 170–172; Diamond, 1985: 79–80; Coates, 1990: 469–471; Cracraft, 1992: 29; Frith and Beehler, 1998: 292–297; and Frith and Frith, 2009b: 471–472.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 678233, adult male, collected in the Rawlinson Mountains, 06.32S, 147.17E (Frith and Beehler, 1998: 570), Huon Peninsula, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea (formerly German New Guinea), in December 1905 – January 1906, by Carl Wahnes. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: The description of this species was printed in a three-page separate publication, for a copy of which I am most grateful to Clifford Frith. No type was designated in the original description, in which both male and female were described. A much-shortened description was published by Rothschild (1906: 7–8) and further notes on the species and a plate were published by Rothschild (1911: 356, pl. VI), but by that time he had additional, but undated, males. Hartert (1919: 128) listed as the type a ‘‘fere ad.’’ male, collected in the Rawlinson Mountains in December 1905 – January 1906, thereby designating as the lectotype AMNH 678233, a male molting into adult plumage but in which a few of the primaries and secondaries retain the brown of immaturity; it bears a Rothschild type label. The paralectotypes in AMNH are two females collected at the same time and place by Wahnes, AMNH 678234 and 678235.

description: We demonstrate that substantial progress can be achieved in the study of the phase structure of 4-dimensional compact QED by a joint use of hybrid Monte Carlo and multicanonical algorithms, through an efficient parallel implementation. This is borne out by the observation of considerable speedup of tunnelling between the metastable states, close to the phase transition, on the Wilson line. We estimate that the creation of adequate samples (with order 100 flip-flops) becomes a matter of half a year's runtime at 2 Gflops sustained performance for lattices of size up to 24^4.

 Lectotypus (designated by MERRILL, 1921: 336): INDONESIA. Java: s.d., H . van Santen s.n. (G-PREL [G00360111]!).
 Notes. – In the protologue, BURMAN (1768: 235) referred to two pre-Linnaean publications and a plate. He did not mention any collector, but “ Habitat in Java ” as locality and the Javanese vernacular name “ Pakoe-hantam ”. The latter should be regarded as specimen citation (the only one in the protologue!), since this name is not mentioned in any of the cited publications.
 Asingle gathering in G-PREL [G00360111] matches this specimen citation: it bears the Javanese name “ Pakoe-hantam ”, the mention “ ex Java hanc accepi ab H. v Santen 1758 ” from J. Burman’s hand, and the species name in N.L. Burman’s handwriting. The collector, Henricus van Santen (1714 – 1765), arrived in Batavia [Jakarta] in 1747 and stayed as Head of the Surgery for the VOC until his death in 1765 (FLORIJN, 1987).
MERRILL (1921: 336) stated that “Burman’s actual type is a Javan specimen”. As a single specimen from Java is extant in G-PREL, this citation should be considered a valid implicit lectotypification. This was overlooked by WIJNANDS et al. (2017: 186).
Subsequent authors such as HOLTTUM (1959b) and KNAPP (2014) cited original material from Ceylon or Sri Lanka in Herb. Delessert (G). Two collections in G-PREL originated from Ceylon [Sri Lanka] [G00349562, G00349563]. Both are collections from the Ceylon’s VOC, dated 1773, and cannot be considered as original material.

description: Romantic involvements in the workplace remain a persistent issue for businesses. They may escalateinto sexual or moral harassment. Developing new negotiation strategies to address such cases wouldhelp to prevent millions spent annually with lawsuits and litigations. Therefore, this case presentsteaching solutions designed to manage conflicts in the workplace, through a two-party role playsimulation, along with detailed instructions and teaching notes. It is based on a true case of a romanticrelationship in the workplace. It demonstrates that workplace romance is a topic on which muchtheoretical and empirical research is utmost relevant. The role play simulation is designed to:(a)provide negotiation teachers with educational tools and new insights about how to deal with sexualand moral harassment in the workplace; (b) to enhance students' skills on mutual gains on dealingwith difficult conversations, emotional control, consensus building and (c) to provoke debates inclassroom regarding the issues under research.

description: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most successful exam among diagnostic imaging exams to differentiate tissues and soft tissues, helping in many ways to accurately diagnose many illnesses and traumas. However, this exam has uncomfortable elements in its accomplishment such as the noise produced by the equipment and immobility for a long time, as well as staying indoors. At this point, the objective of this research was to analyze whether patients, while listening to music during MRI exams, felt more comfortable, relaxed and collaborative. To this end, after approval by the Research Ethics Committee, 22 patients were invited from a Diagnostic Imaging Center in Curitiba-PR to listen to musical styles (jazz, popular, classical, meditative and oriental) during the examination MRI and after its completion, answer a short questionnaire regarding the use of music during the procedure. The use of music was seen with good receptivity by the patients, and there were suggestions for its use in the clinic routine.

description: We present a unified description of the high temperature phase of QCD, the so-called quark-gluon plasma, in a regime where the effective gauge coupling $g$ is sufficiently small to allow for weak coupling calculations. The main focuss is the construction of the effective theory for the collective excitations which develop at a typical scale $gT$, which is well separated from the typical energy of single particle excitations which is the temperature $T$. We show that the plasma particles provide a source for long wavelength oscillations of average fields which carry the quantum numbers of the plasma constituents, the quarks and the gluons. To leading order in $g$, the plasma particles obey simple gauge-covariant kinetic equations, whose derivation from the general Dyson-Schwinger equations is outlined. As a by-product, the ``hard thermal loops'' emerge naturally in a physically transparent framework. We show that the collective excitations can be described in terms of classical fields, and develop for these a Hamiltonian formalism. The effect of collisions among the hard particles is also studied, in particular in relation with the effective theory for ultrasoft excitations, with momenta $\sim g^2T$.

description: GX~339$-$4 is a black hole X-ray binary that is a key focus of accretion studies since it goes into outburst roughly every two-to-three years. Tracking of its radio, IR and X-ray flux during multiple outbursts reveals tight broadband correlations. The radio emission originates in a compact, self-absorbed jet, however the origin of the X-ray emission is still debated: jet base or corona? We fit 20 quasi-simultaneous radio, IR, optical and X-ray observations of GX~339$-$4 covering three separate outbursts in 2005, 2007, 2010--2011, with a composite corona + jet model, where inverse Compton emission from both regions contributes to the X-ray emission. Using a recently-proposed identifier of the X-ray variability properties known as power-spectral hue, we attempt to explain both the spectral and evolving timing characteristics, with the model. We find the X-ray spectra are best fit by inverse Compton scattering in a dominant hot corona ($kT_{\rm e}\sim$ hundreds of keV). However, radio and IR-optical constraints imply a non-negligible contribution from inverse Compton scattering off hotter electrons ($kT_{\rm e} \ge 511$~keV) in the base of the jets, ranging from a few up to $\sim50$\% of the integrated 3--100~keV flux. We also find that the physical properties of the jet show interesting correlations with the shape of the broadband X-ray variability of the source, posing intriguing suggestions for the connection between the jet and corona.

The bursts are identified as pressure drops in the pressure signal across the system. We find that the statistical distribution of pressure drops scales according to other systems exhibiting self-organized criticality. The pressure signal was calculated by a network model that properly simulates drainage displacements. We compare our results with corresponding experiments.

Because only females were known of P. a. buergersi, females of that subspecies, nominate alberti, and hallstromi were compared and a female holotype selected. Differences between males of nominate alberti and hallstromi were also noted. Paratypes of hallstromi, all collected in 1950, are: Nondugl, AMNH 705631–705638, two adult males, four immature males, one juvenile male, one female, AMNH 802658, sex?, 8 March–15 May; Kubor Mountains, AMNH 705639–705642, 709647, 788308, two adult males, two immature males, two females, 21– 30 May; Base Camp, Mount Hagen, AMNH 705648–705655, 705655bis, 705656–705660, 788309, 802656, 802657, six adult males, six immature males, one juvenile male, four females, 29 June–27 July; Mount Wilhelm, AMNH 705661bis, adult male, 11 June. Of these, AMNH 705634 and 705654 were sent to AM in 1953; and AMNH 705649 and 705660 were exchanged with FMNH in the 1960s.
Most recent authors consider Pteridophora alberti monotypic.

description: This is the first of two articles aimed at providing comprehensive predictions for the day-night (D-N) effect for the Super-Kamiokande detector in the case of the MSW $ν_e \to \numt$ transition solution of the solar neutrino problem. The one-year averaged probability of survival of the solar $\nue$ crossing the Earth mantle, the core, the inner 2/3 of the core, and the (core + mantle) is calculated with high precision (better than 1%) using the elliptical orbit approximation (EOA) to describe the Earth motion around the Sun. Results for the survival probability in the indicated cases are obtained for a large set of values of the MSW transition parameters $Δm^2$ and $sin^22θ_{V}$ from the ``conservative'' regions of the MSW solution, derived by taking into account possible relatively large uncertainties in the values of the $^{8}$B and $^{7}$Be neutrino fluxes. Our results show that the one-year averaged D-N asymmetry in the $ν_e$ survival probability for neutrinos crossing the Earth core can be, in the case of $sin^22 θ_{V} \leq 0.13$, larger than the asymmetry in the probability for (only mantle crossing + core crossing) neutrinos by a factor of up to six. The enhancement is larger in the case of neutrinos crossing the inner 2/3 of the core. This indicates that the Super-Kamiokande experiment might be able to test the $sin^22θ_{V} \leq 0.01$ region of the MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem by performing selective D-N asymmetry measurements.

This blog post draws attention to Pentecostal pioneer Charles Parham as the one person that F.F. Bosworth criticized for teaching "speaking in tongues" as the initial evidence of Spirit baptism. Bosworth said Parham was the first person in history to teach such a doctrine. Bosworth, who mentioned Parham in an "Open Letter," said the teaching was in error and that it was hurting the church.

Pion-Pion Phase-Shifts and the Value of Quark-Antiquark Condensate in the Chiral Limit

description: We use low energy pion-pion phase-shifts in order to make distinction between the alternatives for the value of the quark-antiquark condensate $B_0$ in the chiral limit. We will consider the amplitude up to and including ${\cal O}(p^4)$ contributions within the Standard and Generalized Chiral Perturbation Theory frameworks. They are unitarized by means of Padé approximants in order to fit experimental phase-shifts in the resonance region. As the best fits correspond to $α= β= 1$, we conclude that pion-pion phase-shift analysis favors the standard ChPT scenario, which assumes just one, large leading order parameter $_{_0}$.

description: The scaling behavior of linear polymers in disordered media modelled by self-avoiding random walks (SAWs) on the backbone of two- and three-dimensional percolation clusters at their critical concentrations p_c is studied. All possible SAW configurations of N steps on a single backbone configuration are enumerated exactly. We find that the moments of order q of the total number of SAWs obtained by averaging over many backbone configurations display multifractal behavior, i.e. different moments are dominated by different subsets of the backbone. This leads to generalized coordination numbers μ_q and enhancement exponents γ_q, which depend on q. Our numerical results suggest that the relation μ_1 = p_ c μbetween the first moment μ_1 and its regular lattice counterpart μis valid.

description: Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) allows detection of stray magnetic fields around magnetic materials and the two-dimensional visualization of these fields. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the oscillations of an MFM tip above a thin film of nonmagnetic metal. The results show good agreement with experimental data obtained by varying the tip height. The phenomenon analyzed here can be applied as a "metal detector" at the nanometer scale and for contactless measurement of sheet resistivity. The detection sensitivity is obtained as a function of oscillation frequency, thus allowing determination of the best frequency for phase-shift measurement. The shift in resonance frequency due to the presence of a nonmagnetic metal is also discussed.

description: The present paper refers to an explanatory multiple-case study about how to optimize fixed plus variable costs contracts, analyzing two cases in different areas. The primary data were collected through interviews and direct participation of the author on both. The first case refers to one copier machine rent contract. The second case refers to current mobile phone contracts. Both contracts were signed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In both cases, the outcomes were similar and the conclusion points to a likely strategy in order to assess and evaluate related forms of contracts, optimizing their usability. Such contracts, basically, present two main variables: fixed cost and variable cost. Through observation and simulation it is possible so select and negotiate a best-performance contract, adjusting the client's demand to the service supply. In both cases either, clients due to miscalculation and absence of correct simulations, had low-performance results, choosing base fixed-costs parameters with high variable costs, which is a common mistake. The present paper throws more light on this subject in order to present safe ways to deal with such types of contracts, avoiding scarce results and improving financial performance through implementing a Six-Step Approach.
How pi0 -> gamma gamma changes with temperature

description: At zero temperature, in the chiral limit the amplitude for pi0 to decay into two photons is directly related to the coefficient of the axial anomaly. At any nonzero temperature, this direct relationship is lost: while the coefficient of the axial anomaly is independent of temperature, in a thermal bath the anomalous Ward identities do not uniquely constrain the amplitude for pi0 -> gamma gamma. Explicit calculation shows that to lowest order about zero temperature, this amplitude decreases.

description: Exceptional points (EPs) are singularities that arise in non-Hermitian physics. Current research efforts focus only on systems supporting isolated EPs characterized by increased sensitivity to external perturbations, which makes them potential candidates for building next generation optical sensors. On the downside, this feature is also the Achilles heel of these devices: they are very sensitive to fabrication errors and experimental uncertainties. To overcome this problem, we introduce a new design concept for implementing photonic EPs that combine the robustness required for practical use together with their hallmark sensitivity. Particularly, our proposed structure exhibits a hypersurface of Jordan EPs (JEPs) embedded in a larger space, and having the following peculiar features: (1) A large class of undesired perturbations shift the operating point along the exceptional surface (ES), thus leaving the system at another EP which explains the robustness; (2) Perturbations due to back reflection/scattering force the operating point out of the ES, leading to enhanced sensitivity. Importantly, our proposed geometry is relatively easy to implement using standard photonics components and the design concept can be extended to other physical platforms such as microwave or acoustics.

description: In a recent letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 5782 (1998)], Bruder and Imry address the reentrance effect in proximity coupled normal-metal coated superconducting cylinders discovered by Mota et al. and challenging theoretical understanding to date. At stake is the explanation of a low-temperature paramagnetic reentrance of order unity. The authors claim to find a `significant paramagnetic effect' which they strongly relate to the layout and findings of the experiment. Here, we show that the straightforward calculation of the paramagnetic change in the susceptibility along the lines of their analysis is by several orders of magnitude smaller than experimentally observed.
