description: We have analyzed the low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) candidates in a Chandra observation of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. In a region observed by the Hubble Space Telescope, approximately 40% of the bright (L_X >= 10^37 ergs/s) LMXBs are associated with optically identified globular clusters (GC). This is significantly higher than the fraction of bright LMXBs in Galactic GCs and confirms that GCs are the dominant sites of LMXB formation in early type galaxies. The approximately 4% of NGC 4472 GCs hosting bright LMXBs, on the other hand, is remarkably similar to the fraction of GCs with LMXBs in every other galaxy. Although statistical tests suggest that the luminosity of a cluster is an important driver of LMXB formation in GCs, this appears largely to be a consequence of the greater number of stars in bright clusters. The metallicity of GCs is a strong determinant of LMXB specific frequency, with metal-rich clusters about 3 times more likely to host LMXBs than metal-poor ones. There are weaker dependences on the size of a GC and its distance from the center of the galaxy. The X-ray luminosity does not depend significantly on the properties of the host GC. Furthermore, the spatial distribution and X-ray luminosity function of LMXBs within and outside GCs are indistinguishable. The X-ray luminosity function of both GC-LMXBs and non-GC-LMXBs reveal a break at approximately 3x10^38 ergs/s strongly suggesting that the brightest LMXBs are black hole accretors.

description: Invisible gold in hydrothermal ores is frequently scattered in the most abundant minerals of the Fe–As–S system. It is assumed that invisible gold does not incorporate into the mineral structure (nanoscale inclusions of the metal or its compounds) or is chemically fixed (isomorphous substitution). The aim of this study is to determine the concentration range of invisible gold, species of its occurrence in arsenian pyrite and arsenopyrite in the natural samples from the Vorontsovka Carlin-type deposit in the Northern Urals. According to EMPA, LA-ICP-MS analyses, the number of trace elements Sb, Co, Ni, Ag, Cu in arsenian pyrite and arsenopyrite does not exceed 0.1 wt% in total. Specially selected survey conditions were used to determine the Au impurity content. Under these conditions, the detection limit for Au is 0.0045 wt%. The As content in pyrite varies from 0.28 to 4.316 wt%, Au – from 0.2 ppm to 0.074 wt%. The Au content in arsenopyrite reaches 1.23 wt%. Correlation dependences of Au and As contents in pyrite, Au and the main components in arsenopyrite suggest the occurrence of Au in the structure of the minerals.

description: Age-related atrial arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation are frequently encountered in clinical practice and are associated with significant mortality and morbidity. A putative role for chronic mitochondrial impairment in their pathogenesis was investigated using a murine model with homozygous deficiency of the transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1 β (Pgc-1β-/-). Pgc-1β regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and function, and unlike other murine models of mitochondrial dysfunction Pgc-1β-/- mice have a mild cardiac phenotype, devoid of confounding contractile dysfunction. All experiments were performed in young (12-16 weeks) and aged (>52 weeks) Pgc-1β-/- mice and compared to aged-matched wild type (WT) controls. Sharp microelectrode recordings of cellular action potentials (AP) in a whole-heart Langendorff-perfused system revealed that the Pgc-1β-/- genotype was associated with an atrial arrhythmic phenotype that progressed with age. Young and aged Pgc-1β-/- hearts showed evidence of slowed AP conduction at the cellular level, through deficits in maximum rates of AP depolarization (dV/dt)max, and at the tissue level through prolonged AP latencies. Action potential duration (APD) was also significantly shorter in Pgc-1β-/- hearts at high heart rates. APD restitution has been linked to the pathogenesis of ventricular fibrillation and more recently AF. However in the present work the incidence of alternans or steepness of the restitution curves did not correlate with arrhythmic tendency. Loose patch clamp measurements demonstrated that Pgc-1β−/− atria had significantly lower inward Na+ currents than that of WT preparations, correlating to the differences in (dV/dt)max values. No differences in delayed outward (K+) currents were evident. Morphometric analysis revealed that Pgc-1β deficiency was associated with accelerated fibrosis, with aged Pgc-1β-/- hearts displaying the greatest fibrotic change. The Pgc-1β-/- murine model of chronic mitochondrial impairment results in an age-related atrial arrhythmic phenotype through adverse electrical and structural remodelling producing an atrial substrate promoting AP reentry and arrhythmia persistence.

description: We study electron transport through a system of two lateral quantum dots coupled in series. We consider the case of weak coupling to the leads and a bias point in the Coulomb blockade. After a generalized Schrieffer-Wolf transformation, cotunneling through this system is described using methods from lowest-order perturbation theory. We study the system for arbitrary bias voltages below the Coulomb energy. We observe a rich, non-monotonic behavior of the stationary current depending on the internal degrees of freedom. In particular, it turns out that at fixed transport voltage, the current through the system is largest at weak-to-intermediate inter-dot coupling.

description: Analysis of slaughter data leads to substantial intermediate supply elasticities with respect to price for mutton and lamb, goat and k1dmeat, and beef and veal, due mainly to mcreased fmishmg of younger ammals to heavterweights. Long-term elasticities are m the range of 0.65 to 2.00, 1.36 to 1.78, and -0.97 to 3.44, respectively Forp1gmeat and poultrymeat, those long-run supply responses can be regarded as virtually unbounded in the positive direct10n. Analysis of milking animals and milk produced leads to somewhat mcons1stent results for ewes and goat does-numbers milked appear to respond positively to meat pnces and negatively to milk pnces. The supply elasticity for number of covvs milked, however, appears to be substantial and positive. Demand analysts, subject to many stochastic prior restraints across the four classes of meat, leads to adverse trends against agnate meats and positive trends for other meats. Substantial positive income elastic1ties are estimated for all meats. The pnce-demand matrix is consistent and orthodox except for an asymmetric tendency.

description: Mutations in the E3 Ub ligase Parkin (PARK2) and the protein kinase PINK1 (PARK6) are genetically linked to Young-Onset Parkinson’s Disease. The two enzymes orchestrate clearance of damaged, cytotoxic mitochondria through a specialized form of autophagy termed mitophagy. By phosphorylating ubiquitin (Ub) on the surface of damaged mitochondria, PINK1 generates a phospho-Ub receptor for autoinhibited cytosolic Parkin. Once localized to the mitochondrial surface, Parkin is activated by direct PINK1-mediated phosphorylation on its Ub-like domain (Ubl). To efficiently recruit the autophagy machinery, activated Parkin transfers Ub from upstream E2 Ub-conjugating enzymes to substrates on the mitochondrial surface via an E3$\sim$Ub intermediate. $\\$ Resolving the precise mechanism of Parkin activation by PINK1-mediated phosphorylation is the primary aim of this thesis. Additionally, building on previous work in which a novel phospho-Ub conformer was characterized crystallographically, the same conformer was found in unmodified Ub in this work. This striking finding is supported by further biochemical and biophysical investigation of the newly discovered equilibrium in unmodified Ub. $\\$ To address the mechanism of Parkin activation and open new avenues for translational research, both dynamic and crystallographic approaches were employed. Hydrogen–deuterium exchange mass spectrometry reveals that Parkin phosphorylation enables a conformational equilibrium between an autoinhibited and an active Parkin state. In the active state the phospho-Ubl domain binds to the Unique Parkin domain (UPD) of the Parkin core and thereby displaces the catalytic RING2 domain from its autoinhibitory position. Catalytic intermediates, such as the E2-bound state or the Ub-charged Parkin species shift the equilibrium in favour of the active conformer. Parkin-mediated substrate ubiquitination occurs by a flexibly tethered catalytic RING2 domain independently of the Parkin core, in line with its minimal substrate selectivity observed $\textit{in vitro}$. $\\$ The new activating interface between the Parkin phospho-Ubl and the Parkin core is revealed in a $1.8{\AA}$ crystal structure of phosphorylated human Parkin lacking the flexible catalytic domain. Additionally to the phospho-Ubl, a conserved linker region, the activating element (ACT) aids displacement of the catalytic RING2 domain by mimicking RING2 autoinhibitory interactions with the Parkin core. This crystal structure explains patient mutations in the UPD phosphate-binding pocket as well as in the newly identified ACT. $\\$ Together, the clinically relevant molecular insights described in this thesis may facilitate the development of therapeutic or diagnostic tools for Parkinson’s disease.

description: The article uses the methods of system analysis, statistical data processing and comparison of indicators of the sorting station. The procedure for the arrival of trains and wagons for processing at the station is considered. The dynamics of changes in the daily processing of wagons on the hump are studied. The dynamics of changes in the average daily spent time spent by transit wagons in the fleets and the station as a whole and by piece-by-rate analysis in a daily mode by the elements of the time spent by wagons are considered. Such a systematic analysis makes it possible to form statistical patterns of non-fulfillment of the norms for the time spent by wagons at the station.

description: We used the NRAO Very Large Array to search for 3.6 cm continuum emission from embedded protostars in a sample of 8 nearby ``starless'' cores that show spectroscopic evidence for infalling motions in molecular emission lines. We detect a total of 13 compact sources in the eight observed fields to 5 sigma limiting flux levels of typically 0.09 mJy. None of these sources lie within 1' of the central positions of the cores, and they are all likely background objects. Based on an extrapolation of the empirical correlation between the bolometric luminosity and 3.6 cm luminosity for the youngest protostars, these null-detections place upper limits of ~0.1 L_sun (d/140pc)^2 on the luminosities of protostellar sources embedded within these cores. These limits, together with the extended nature of the inward motions inferred from molecular line mapping (Lee et al. 2001), are inconsistent with the inside-out collapse model of singular isothermal spheres and suggest a less centrally condensed phase of core evolution during the earliest stages of star formation.

Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Generalised ansatz for continuous Matrix Product States

description: Recently it was shown that continuous Matrix Product States (cMPS) cannot express the continuum limit state of any Matrix Product State (MPS), according to a certain natural definition of the latter. The missing element is a projector in the transfer matrix of the MPS. Here we provide a generalised ansatz of cMPS that is capable of expressing the continuum limit of any MPS. It consists of a sum of cMPS with different boundary conditions, each attached to an ancilla state. This new ansatz can be interpreted as the concatenation of a state which is at the closure of the set of cMPS together with a standard cMPS. The former can be seen as a cMPS in the thermodynamic limit, or with matrices of unbounded norm. We provide several examples and discuss the result.

description: In recent years, dramatic props and costumes have become the focus of a renewed scholarly interest in the performance aspects of Greek drama. This has entailed, in particular, a shift away from enquiries into the ostensible realia of Greek staging to explorations of their complex constructions, semiotics and agencies in the plays and their cultural contexts more widely. My thesis situates itself within these developments but considers the hitherto underexplored phenomenon of (un)dressing in Greek tragedy and comedy. Often treated as a matter of physical costuming, it is a central contention of my work that (un)dress in theatrical representation functions, first and foremost, as an imaginary site where ideas of social identity, difference and transformation may be mapped and negotiated. Drawing on a broad range of relevant tragic and comic scenes, I argue that both dressing and undressing are persistently evoked in Greek drama as social and interactive performances, allowing characters to (re)position themselves and others in a grid of hierarchical relations, including differences of gender and station at their core. At the same time, the agency of (un)dressing is frequently reversed in the dramatic imagination: it is the performance of (un)dressing that determines a character’s social identity rather than vice versa. By exploring this dual capacity of dramatic (un)dressing, my thesis situates the theatrical concepts of (un)dressing within the plays’ socio-political context in the democratic city of Athens: these concepts highlight the precarious position of the democratic citizen male, caught between traditional ideas of essential being and a pervasive public performativity of self, as well as the different representational strategies used to address this uncertainty in tragedy and comedy respectively.

The competition between nuclear shadowing, Cronin effect, and jet energy loss due to medium-induced gluon radiation is predicted to lead to a striking energy dependence of the nuclear suppression/enhancement pattern in A+A reactions. We show that future d+Au data can used to disentangle the initial and final state effects.

 Polycirrus pennulifera, Verrill, 1900:665–666.
 Type material: Not found.
 Description based on original description: Specimen complete, 65 segments; 35mm long. Anteriorly swollen and posteriorly elongated. Tentacles numerous, slender. Twenty pairs of notopodia. Notochaetae lanceolate, slender, with flattened blade and striated bilimbations; edge of limbs pennate, resembling feathers (hence the name of the species). Neuropodia from segment 21, along 40 segments, with 15–16 uncini in each row on the neuropodium. Uncini MF:1:1; Sr unknown; AP long, acute; AF small; Bs wedge-shaped; PP rounded, prominent; PF absent; Cp concave, with two rows of single teeth; MF long, acute, scarcely recurved, considerable shorter than base and nearly parallel with it. Pygidium features unknown.
 Discussion: Further specimens belonging to this species has not been recorded since the species was originally described. None of the specimens revised for this study presented the morphological characters presented in the description. Thus, this species is recognized mainly by the number of pairs of notopodium, and segment on which uncini first appear. The original description does not state shape of tentacular membrane, upper and lower lip, presence of eyespots, ventral shields, nephridial papillae and first segment with chaetae; and the species is not illustrated by Verrill. These features could be described after the examination of type specimens, which was not found either in YPM, where Verrill deposited most of his specimens, or in nearby institutions as AMNH, NMNH, and MCZ.

description: Abstract Christine van Hooft Nearer to the people: The interaction between decentralisation and the political economy in Uganda Since the introduction of decentralisation in Uganda in the late 1980s, the number of districts has nearly quadrupled, in a process known as district proliferation. Accordingly, districts have become highly dependent on the central government for funding. This dependence renders sub-national governments unable to respond to local development priorities, weakening the core goals of decentralisation. A majority of the literature relating to decentralisation in Uganda views decentralisation through a prism of broader economic and governance reforms of the 1980s and 1990s. As a result, authors downplay the importance of the political economy context in which decentralisation has been implemented for determining its outcomes and results. Regarding the specific issue of district proliferation in Uganda, analysis in the existing literature is focused on the experiences and incentives of elite actors. Authors have engaged less with non-elite and rural perspectives: the viewpoints of those at the ‘grassroot’. This thesis analyses the drivers of district proliferation in Uganda, and includes the viewpoints of those at the grassroot in addition to urban elites. The research captures the incentives driving multiple actors across a number of binaries: rural and urban, elected and employed, elites and non-elites. It is argued that the rapid proliferation of districts in Uganda arises from the rational pursuit of self-interest by multiple actors within the political economy. Accordingly, the research moves beyond the dominant explanation of district proliferation: as a vector for elites to generate patronage networks and claim access to the resources of the state. Instead, the research positions district proliferation in the context of livelihood strategies at the level of the grassroot and within the bureaucracy, and as a political survival strategy for those in elected roles. The continued proliferation of new districts in Uganda is shown to be an outcome of the interaction between decentralisation and the political economy. As such, district proliferation shows no sign of abating.

The Unavowable Body: Radical Stillness in Mina Heidari's Ineffable Art Series
Creators: name: Chagara, Boneace
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This article examines three artworks I conceptually frame as The ineffable art series by an emerging Iranian female artist Mina Heidari. This exhibition was initially showcased as a three-part drawing series at the 2025 World in Balance festival in Hamburg. The three artworks titled: Condemnation, Decay, and Denial/Refusal, are a meditation on feminine agency, embodied violence and the dialectics of silence and visibility. Heidari’s work draws from her multidisciplinary background in art, science and activism as well as her censored Iranian context. Employing a philosophy of silence and opacity, where the unspoken becomes a site of agency and resistance, her art transforms personal and political repression into a universal feminist poetics of liberation. Through the recurring motif of a metonymic eye, she traces contours of an unavowable body, from violent exposure to a sacred disavowal, challenging viewers to engage not through sight but through embodied presence. Blending ethical witnessing with posthuman and queer feminist lenses, my analysis underscores how Heidari’s drawings reconfigure the female body as a living archive of trauma and resilience. Ultimately, this article argues that Heidari’s art suspends narrative closure to enact ‘radical stillness’, an unspoken poetics that reconfigures embodied silence as a potent language of resistance and ethical witnessing. Using the female body’s fragmented vitality to defy patriarchal and colonial silencing, Heideri invites viewers to dwell in the unspoken— to honor the scars that persist, the fragments that haunt, and the opacity that protects, in response to acute and chronic trauma.

description: During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair and undergo reciprocal genetic exchange, producing crossovers. This generates genetic diversity and is required for balanced homolog segregation. Despite the critical functions of crossovers, their frequency and distribution varies extensively within and between species. This crossover variation can be caused by trans-modifiers within populations, which encode diffusible molecules that influence crossover formation elsewhere in the genome. This project utilised natural accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana to identify trans-modifying loci underlying crossover variation within the species. I performed Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping using a fluorescence-based crossover reporter system to measure recombination frequency in a genomic interval on chromosome 3, termed 420. Mapping in a Col-420 × Bur-0 F2 population revealed four major recombination QTLs (rQTLs) that influence crossover frequency. A novel recessive rQTL on chromosome 1 that reduced crossovers within the interval was fine-mapped to a premature stop codon in TATA Binding Protein (TBP)-associated factor 4b (TAF4b) in Bur-0 (taf4b-1). TAF4b is a subunit of the TFIID complex, a multi-protein general transcription factor complex comprising TBP and numerous TAFs that forms a component of the pre-initiation complex that recruits RNA polymerase II to promoters. Transformation-based complementation experiments and the isolation of several independent taf4b alleles provided genetic proof that TAF4b is essential for wild-type levels of crossover within 420. Analysis of the prevalence of the taf4b-1 mutation in the global Arabidopsis accession collection demonstrated its specificity to three accessions in the British Isles. A combination of cytology, genetic analysis using additional fluorescent reporter lines, and sequencing in F2 recombinant populations demonstrated a genome-wide reduction in crossover frequency in taf4b-1. In addition, RNA sequencing identified numerous transcriptional changes in taf4b-1. Both up- and down-regulated gene sets displayed significant enrichment for genes that are predominantly expressed in meiocytes, and several gene ontology terms pertaining to protein modification and meiotic processes. These results further demonstrate the existence of genetic modifiers of crossover frequency in natural populations of A. thaliana, and the characterisation of a novel trans-modifier of recombination, TAF4b. This signifies a novel function for TAF4b in Arabidopsis, and further enhances our understanding of the molecular factors controlling the frequency and distribution of meiotic crossovers in plants.

description: We study Random Walks in an i.i.d. Random Environment (RWRE) defined on $b$-regular trees. We prove a functional central limit theorem (FCLT) for transient processes, under a moment condition on the environment. We emphasize that we make no uniform ellipticity assumptions. Our approach relies on regenerative levels, i.e. levels that are visited exactly once. On the way, we prove that the distance between consecutive regenerative levels have a geometrically decaying tail. In the second part of this paper, we apply our results to Linearly Edge-Reinforced Random Walk (LERRW) to prove FCLT when the process is defined on $b$-regular trees, with $ b \ge 4$, substantially improving the results of the first author (see Theorem 3 of Collevecchio (2006)).

Light in the Cave: A Philosophical Enquiry into the Nature of Suhrawardī’s Illuminationist Philosophy

Subjects: Suhrawardī

Medieval Philosophy

description: Shihāb al-Dīn al-Suhrawardī (d. 1191), founder of the Islamic Illuminationist tradition, is one of the most controversial and misunderstood Arabic philosophers. Corbin cultivates Suhrawardī as a mystic who revived ancient Persian wisdom; Gutas reads him as a follower of Avicenna (d. 1037); scholars like Ziai and Walbridge argue that he is an original and serious philosopher. But it seems that no reconstructions of Illuminationist philosophy are satisfactory. I propose a Cave Story approach, which relates Suhrawardī’s ambitious Illuminationist project to Plato’s cave allegory. By following this approach, I present a historical reconstruction of Suhrawardī’s Illuminationist philosophy, focusing on three areas: presential knowledge (epistemology), mental considerations (ontology and the problem of universals), and light metaphysics. Chapter I proves, by solid textual evidence, that Suhrawardī’s four Peripatetic works and ‘Ḥikmat al-Ishrāq’ (‘The Philosophy of Illumination’, his masterpiece and the only Illuminationist work) constitute one and the same Illuminationist project. Chapter II reconstructs Illuminationist presential knowledge, an original epistemology of particulars (without any universals involved) and the epistemological foundation of Illuminationism. Chapters III and IV prove philosophically that universals must all be mental considerations (i.e. things created by the mind), and real things must be particulars; this is Suhrawardī’s fundamental criticism of Peripatetic metaphysics. Chapter V reconstructs light metaphysics, a serious metaphysics of particulars (not universals). I conclude that Suhrawardī is an original and serious philosopher, who resorts to mysticism only for sound philosophical reasons, and who should not be taken as a follower of Avicenna; his Illuminationism is a philosophy of particulars rather than universals.

description: We introduce a model for the evolution of sexually transmitted diseases, in which the social behavior is incorporated as a determinant factor for the further propagation of the infection. The system may be regarded as a society of agents where in principle anyone can sexually interact with any other one in the population. Different social behaviors are reflected in a distribution of sexual attitudes ranging from the more conservative to the more promiscuous. This is measured by what we call the promiscuity parameter. In terms of this parameter, we find a critical behavior for the evolution of the disease. There is a threshold below what the epidemic does not occur. We relate this critical value of the promiscuity to what epidemiologist call the basic reproductive number, connecting it with the other parameters of the model, namely the infectivity and the infective period in a quantitative way. We consider the possibility of subjects be grouped in couples. In this contribution only the homosexual case is analyzed.

description: About 90 percent of Burundi population depends on agriculture for their livelihoods. Agriculture employs the majority of labor force and is the basis source of income particularly for people living in rural areas. Agricultural income determines the purchasing power of many people living in rural areas. It is therefore important to examine the -determinants of agricultural income for proper policy formulation that will help to improve welfare of farmers. The main objective of this study is to analyze the determinants of agricultural income among smallholder farmers in Northern part of Burundi. Based on field survey which covered 218 respondents and using linear regression, we found that among 8 variables used in the analysis, only the family size and the farm size have shown significant effects on agricultural income at 1% and 10% levels respectively. Some suggestions were also mentioned to sustain the agricultural returns, the well-being of farm households and to improve the rural infrastructure.

description: The study reviews the current sorghum and maize production, processing and utilization in Botswana. Most of the grains produced in Botswana are used for home consumption, while processing of commercial and export commodities are limited both in terms of quantity and extent of processing. The major processing activity by both small scale and large scale firms is grain milling into maize and sorghum flours. There is limited value-added commercial processing. This creates an opportunity for development and marketing of traditional and new value-added products. Opportunities for expanding and diversifying industrial or semi-industrial processing of maize and sorghum beyond grain milling are suggested.
