Anacroneuria fiorentini

description: Anacroneuria fiorentini De Ribeiro & Froehlich, sp. n.
(Figs. 1–5)
 Diagnosis. Frons mostly yellowish with a brown spot on each side extending from M–line to scars; lappets brown (Fig. 1). Parietalia light brown at sides, lighter medially. Antennae and palpi light brown. Pronotum dark brown with a light median stripe. Legs brown, bases of femora lighter. Wing membrane and veins light brown but C and Sc paler. Cerci light brown basally, then bicolored.
 Male. Forewing length, 9.6–9.9 mm. In dorsal view, keel well visible, with parallel sides before diverging distally (Fig. 2). In side view, the dorsal surface of the penial armature presents a marked depression in front of the keel, ventral vesicles present, small (Fig 3). Hooks normal, with pointed tips. Hammer a short truncate cone (Fig. 4).
 Female. Forewing length, 12.6–13.0 mm. Subgenital plate with four subequal lobes. Median notch deeper than lateral ones. Distal margin of sternum nine straight, field of hairs V–shaped (Fig. 5).
 Type Material. Holotype, male: BRAZIL, Rio Grande do Sul, Caraá, Rio dos Sinos (29º42’53”S 50º17’ 19”W), 0 4. XII. 2002. Paratypes: 1 male, 2 females, same data as holotype; 1 male, same data but 29º43'32”S 50º16’57”W.
 Distribution. Northeastern Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil.
 Etymology. The name honors Gelson Luiz Fiorentin for his contribution to the knowledge of aquatic insects in Rio Grande do Sul State.
 Remarks. The head pattern of A. fiorentini is distinctive, being most similar to that of A. oculatila Jewett (1959), known from Nova Teutonia, Santa Catarina, Brazil and from Misiones, Argentina (Froehlich 2002). However, in A. oculatila, the lighter central frons is enclosed by dark pigment and, in the male, the penis is very different, without a dorsal depression, with a V-shaped keel and a downsloping apex. The penial armature of A. fiorentini has some resemblance to that of A. minuta Klapálek (1922), a species from northern Brazil, especially in the deep depression in front of the keel, but in A. minuta it is deeper, and the apex is broader. In the female, A. minuta has paired patches of hairs in sternum nine.

The fragmenting past of the disk at the Galactic Center : The culprit for the missing red giants

description: Since 1996 we have known that the Galactic Center (GC) displays a core-like distribution of red giant branch (RGB) stars starting at ~ 10", which poses a theoretical problem, because the GC should have formed a segregated cusp of old stars. This issue has been addressed invoking stellar collisions, massive black hole binaries, and infalling star clusters, which can explain it to some extent. Another observational fact, key to the work presented here, is the presence of a stellar disk at the GC. We postulate that the reason for the missing stars in the RGB is closely intertwined with the disk formation, which initially was gaseous and went through a fragmentation phase to form the stars. Using simple analytical estimates, we prove that during fragmentation the disk developed regions with densities much higher than a homogeneous gaseous disk, i.e. "clumps", which were optically thick, and hence contracted slowly. Stars in the GC interacted with them and in the case of RGB stars, the clumps were dense enough to totally remove their outer envelopes after a relatively low number of impacts. Giant stars in the horizontal branch (HB), however, have much denser envelopes. Hence, the fragmentation phase of the disk must have had a lower impact in their distribution, because it was more difficult to remove their envelopes. We predict that future deeper observations of the GC should reveal less depletion of HB stars and that the released dense cores of RGB stars will still be populating the GC.

description: Although an extrapolation from the clinical experience in adults can often be considered to support the pediatric use for most pharmaceutical compounds, differences in safety profiles between adult and pediatric patients can be observed. The developing immune system may be affected due to exaggerated pharmacological or non-expected effects of a new drug. Toxicology studies in juvenile animals could therefore be required to better evaluate the safety profile of any new pharmaceutical compound targeting the pediatric population. The Göttingen minipig is now considered a useful non-rodent species for non-clinical safety testing of human pharmaceuticals. However, knowledge on the developing immune system in juvenile minipigs is still limited. The objective of the work reported here was to evaluate across-age proportions of main immune cells circulating in blood or residing in lymphoid organs (thymus, spleen, lymph nodes) in Göttingen Minipigs. In parallel, the main immune cell populations from healthy and immunocompromised piglets were compared following treatment with cyclosporin A (CsA) at 10 mg/kg/day for 4 wk until weaning. The study also assessed functionality of immune responses using an in-vivo model after “Keyhole limpet hemocyanin” (KLH) immunization and an ex-vivo lymph proliferation assay after stimulation with Concanavalin A. The results demonstrated variations across age in circulating immune cell populations including CD21+ B-cells, αβ-T- and γδ-T-cells, NK cells, and monocytes. CsA-induced changes in immune functions were only partially recovered by 5 mo after the end of treatment, whereas the immune cell populations affected by the treatment returned to normal levels in animals of the same age. Taken together, the study here shows that in this model, the immune function endpoints were more sensitive than the immunophenotyping endpoints.

description: We present a theoretical study based on the Anderson model of the transport properties of a Kondo impurity (atom or quantum dot) connected to ferromagnetic leads, which can sustain a non-equilibrium spin current. We analyze the case where the spin current is injected by an external source and when it is generated by the voltage bias. Due to the presence of ferromagnetic contacts, a static exchange field is produced that eventually destroys the Kondo correlations. We find that such a field can be compensated by an appropriated combination of the spin-dependent chemical potentials leading to the restoration of the Kondo resonance. In this respect, a Kondo impurity may be regarded as a very sensitive sensor for non-equilibrium spin phenomena.

description: The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) considers open science as scientific practices and processes that are established or designed to make research results openly accessible for the long term, thereby ensuring an increased uptake of these results by researchers and other stakeholders. The DFG regards open science as a consequence of the digital transformation of research processes, which has essential functions in the practice of research. The DFG’s engagement of shaping open science is in terms of DFG’s role and responsibilities within the research system. As the central self-governing research funding organisation in Germany, DFG funds research of the highest quality, strengthens the national research system through strategic funding initiatives, and shapes appropriate framework conditions and standards to enable curiosity-driven research. When implemented in a science-serving manner, open science can promote these goals by optimising research processes, facilitating the re-usability of research results, stimulating discourses within science and the humanities, increasing the transparency of science towards society and strengthening trust in research and scholarship. With regard to open science, the DFG seeks to shape the relevant framework, while taking into account the needs and requirements of the scientific community. The DFG supports researchers and research infrastructures in establishing and applying open science practices. The DFG is committed to the further development of principles and practices of open science based on a balanced view of its potential and challenges for research and scholarship.

description: We show that electrically charged solutions within the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld theory of gravity replace the central singularity by a wormhole supported by the electric field. As a result, the total energy associated with the electric field is finite and similar to that found in the Born-Infeld electromagnetic theory. When a certain charge-to-mass ratio is satisfied, in the lowest part of the mass and charge spectrum the event horizon disappears yielding stable remnants. We argue that quantum effects in the matter sector can lower the mass of these remnants from the Planck scale down to the TeV scale.

description: We study nonequilibrium quantum phase transitions in XY spin 1/2 chain using the $C^*$ algebra. We show that the well-known quantum phase transition at magnetic field $h = 1$ persists also in the nonequilibrium setting as long as one of the reservoirs is set to absolute zero temperature. In addition, we find nonequilibrium phase transitions associated to imaginary part of the correlation matrix for any two different temperatures of the reservoirs at $h = 1$ and $h = h_{\rm c} \equiv|1-γ^2|$, where $γ$ is the anisotropy and $h$ the magnetic field strength. In particular, two nonequilibrium quantum phase transitions coexist at $h=1$. In addition we also study the quantum mutual information in all regimes and find a logarithmic correction of the area law in the nonequilibrium steady state independent of the system parameters. We use these nonequilibrium phase transitions to test the utility of two models of reduced density operator, namely Lindblad mesoreservoir and modified Redfield equation. We show that the nonequilibrium quantum phase transition at $h = 1$ related to the divergence of magnetic susceptibility is recovered in the mesoreservoir approach, whereas it is not recovered using the Redfield master equation formalism. However none of the reduced density operator approaches could recover all the transitions observed by the $C^*$ algebra. We also study thermalization properties of the mesoreservoir approach.

description: We consider the mass distribution of QCD jets after the application of jet substructure methods, specifically the mass-drop tagger, pruning, trimming and their variants. In contrast to most current studies employing Monte Carlo methods, we carry out analytical calculations at the next-to-leading order level, which are sufficient to extract the dominant logarithmic behaviour for each technique, and compare our findings to exact fixed-order results. Our results should ultimately lead to a better understanding of these jet substructure methods which in turn will influence the development of future substructure tools for LHC phenomenology.

description: Biotherapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAb) play important roles in clinical medicine but their potential to elicit immune responses in patients remains a major issue. In a study designed to investigate the effect of aggregation on immunogenic responses, mice were immunized with two monoclonal antibodies (mAb1 and mAb2). Serum levels of total IgG, IgG1, and IgG2a were measured by ELISA. An anti-mouse IgG2a monoclonal detection antibody cross-reacted with mAb2 but not mAb1, leading to high background when the ELISA plate was coated with mAb2. The problem was solved by use of a goat anti-mouse IgG2a polyclonal antibody that demonstrated the required specificity. IgG2a responses were similar for monomer- or aggregate-coated ELISA plates. The results demonstrate the importance of assessment of the specificity of individual reagents when measuring antibody responses against therapeutic antibodies by ELISA.

description: Sepsis is a pathology accompanied by increases in myeloid cells and decreases in lymphoid cells in circulation. In a murine sepsis model induced by cecum ligation and puncture (CLP), increasing numbers of neutrophils and decreasing levels of B-cells in circulation are among the earliest changes in the immune system. However, to date, the mechanisms for these changes remain to be elucidated. The study here sought to elucidate mechanisms underlying the changes in the leukocyte levels after CLP and also to determine what, if any, role for an involvement of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). Here, male C57/BL6 mice were subjected to CLP or sham-CLP (abdominal wall incised, but cecum was not punctured). The changes in the number of circulating leukocytes over time were then investigated using flow cytometry. The results showed that a sham-CLP led to increased polymorphonuclear cells (PMN; most of which are neutrophils) and decreased B-cells in the circulation to an extent similar to that induced by CLP. Effects of adrenergic agonists and antagonists, as well as of adrenalectomy, were also examined in mice that underwent CLP or sham-CLP. Administering adrenaline or a β2 adrenergic receptor agonist (clenbuterol) to mice 3 h before sacrifice produced almost identical changes to as what was seen 2 h after performing a sham-CLP. In contrast, giving a β2 adrenergic receptor antagonist ICI118,551 1 h before a CLP or sham-CLP suppressed the expected changes 2 h after the operations. Noradrenaline and an α1 adrenergic receptor agonist phenylephrine did not exert significant effects. Adrenalectomy 24 h before a sham-CLP significantly abolished the expected sham-CLP-induced changes seen earlier. Clenbuterol increased splenocyte expression of Cxcr4 (a chemokine receptor gene); adrenalectomy abolished sham-CLP-induced Cxcr4 expression. A CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 repressed the sham-CLP-induced changes. From these results, it may be concluded that sepsis-induced activation of the SNS may be one cause for immune dysfunction in sepsis – regardless of the pathogenetic processes.

description: We catalogue and study three-Higgs-doublet models in terms of all possible allowed symmetries (continuous and discrete, Abelian and non-Abelian), where such symmetries may be identified as flavour symmetries of quarks and leptons. We analyse the potential in each case, and derive the conditions under which the vacuum alignments (0,0,v), (0,v,v) and (v,v,v) are minima of the potential. For the alignment (0,0,v), relevant for dark matter models, we calculate the corresponding physical Higgs boson mass spectrum. Motivated by supersymmetry, we extend the analysis to the case of three up-type Higgs doublets and three down- type Higgs doublets (six doublets in total). Many of the results are also applicable to flavon models where the three Higgs doublets are replaced by three electroweak singlets.

description: Most current methods to assess T-cell-dependent antibody responses (TDAR) are semi-quantitative and based on measures of antibody titer generated against a standard antigen like keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). The precision, sensitivity, and convenience of TDAR assays might be improved by applying rapid, sensitive, specific cytometric bead assays (CBA). In the study here, KLH antigen was covalently coupled onto the surface of cytometric beads using immune microsphere technology, and IgM antibody capture spheres were prepared for use in pretreatment processing of samples. The working parameters associated with this novel TDAR-CBA system were optimized in orthogonal experiments. The optimal concentration of the KLH coating solution in this system was 160 μg/ml, that of the anti-KLH IgG capture spheres 6.0 × 105/ml, and the optimal dilution of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated Affini-Pure Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H + L) was 60 μg/ml. Repeated tests indicated that this approach yielded good linearity (r2 = 0.9937) method, with a within-run precision of 3.1–4.9%, and a between-run precision of 4.4–4.9%. This new approach had a limit of detection of 113.43 ng/ml (linear range = 390.63–50 000), and an interference rate of just 0.04–3.51%. Based on these findings, it seems that a new mouse TDAR assay based on CBA can be developed that would appear to be more sensitive, accurate, and precise than the current TDAR assay approaches based on traditional ELISA.
The Taxation of Miscellaneous Income Sources under the Federal Income Tax Proclamation of Ethiopia: A Critical Analysis
Creators: name: Yemata, Belete Addis
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2024

description: Schedule ‘D’ of the Federal Income Tax Proclamation No. 976/2016 taxes income sources that are not taxable under the other income tax schedules. The objective of this article was to create a better understanding of the taxable units and tax bases of the taxing provisions of this schedule and also to explain the many changes introduced under the current Schedule D. To this end, it mainly depends on the doctrinal legal research methods, by which it critically analyzes the relevant legislation, literature, and model tax rules. The discussion revealed that the current Schedule ‘D’ has undergone significant changes. Non-resident taxation is regulated in detail; they are taxed under exclusive provisions in the context of permanent establishment and as residents for their Ethiopian-source income. New tax bases are also added, such as repatriated profit and undistributed profit. The taxation of residual income is part of this introduction. The proclamation also came up with informative definitional provisions for a management fee, technical fee, interest, dividend, and royalty. These not only ease the characterization of the taxpayers and tax bases but also widen the scope of the respective taxation of these sources. The changes introduced in capital gains taxation are also significant in many ways, including widening the assets subject to capital gains tax and providing relatively detailed provisions for the valuation of capital gains. All these changes will be meaningful if the tax administration on the ground is also reformed to reflect the positive changes introduced under the tax laws.

Land Law Responses towards Arbitrary Eviction on “Non-Indigenous” Rural Peasants in Benishangul-Gumuz Region
Creators: name: Checkol, Bezabih Tibebu
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2024

description: The FDRE Constitution established ethnic federalism supposedly to accommodate and protect various rights of NNPs of Ethiopia. Among others, the land resource becomes the common property of NNPs of the Ethiopian ethnic groups. Following the adoption of ethnic based structure Benishangul-Gumuz Regional States (BGRS) revised Constitution has classified peoples, based on ethnicity, as "indigenous” Vs “non-indigenous”(“owner” Vs. “non-owner”) to the region, and land resource found in region belongs to "indigenous nationalities." However, Ethiopian rural peasants have Constitutional rights to access arable land without fees and are guaranteed from arbitrary eviction without indigenous-non-indigenous dichotomy. So this study aims to investigate legal responses towards the protection against arbitrary eviction to non-indigenous peasants from their land rights. To achieve this objective, study employed qualitative research approach. The findings showed there is arbitrary eviction of "non-indigenous" peasants in the region. The land rights of non-indigenous peasants are restricted and face decentralized despotism. The root cause for arbitrary evictions of the non-indigenous rural peasants is the false indigenous/non-indigenous people dichotomization on the one hand, and ambiguous nature of land policy and pitfalls of ethnic federalism on the other hand. Neither FDRE Constitution nor BGRS Constitution provide for legal mechanism to avert arbitrary eviction of non-indigenous peasants from their land rights. Therefore, the FDRE Constitution and BGRS revised Constitution must be revisited in order to avoid indigenous/non-indigenous false dichotomy so that the land rights of non-indigenous peoples shall be protected.

description: Polarizable dipoles, such as atoms, molecules or nanoparticles, subject to laser radiation, may attract or repel each other. We derive a general formalism in which such laser-induced dipole-dipole interactions (LIDDI) in any geometry and for any laser strength are described in terms of the resonant dipole-dipole interaction (RDDI) between dipoles dressed by the laser. Our expressions provide a physically clear and technically simple route towards the analysis of LIDDI in a general geometry. This approach can treat both mechanical and internal-state interactions between the dipoles. Our general results reveal LIDDI effects due to nonlinear dipole-laser interactions, unaccounted for by previous treatments of LIDDI. We discuss, via several simple approaches, the origin of these nonlinear effects and their absence in previous works.

description: The predicament of IDPs has emerged as one of the great human tragedies in the world today, including in Ethiopia. Millions of people have been forced to abandon their houses, land and other property because of conflicts, disasters, and development projects. This made them more vulnerable to homelessness, economic hardship, social disarticulation, psychological trauma, and various forms of severe deprivation of human rights. However, there remains a lack of an effective mechanism to respond to the multiple claims of IDPs. This doctrinal article examines the extent to which the existing international, regional, and national legal instruments are applicable to remedy violations of IDPs' right to land and property in Ethiopia. The article emphasizes inadequate policy, legal, and institutional framework as one of the critical gaps in providing and enforcing judicial and administrative remedies upon violations of the rights in question. Compared to development-induced displacement, where the Expropriation Proclamation has made a good start, remedies and reparations for conflict and disaster-induced displacements are still inadequate and found scattered in the various substantive and procedural laws of the country. A review of related literature also informs that the problem is exacerbated by other practical challenges such as lack of awareness and political will, the prevailing culture of impunity for human rights violations, issues in land registration and formalization of property rights, the absence of separate fund and procedural difficulties to lodge actions. The article underlines the need to introduce a comprehensive legal framework, ensure land and property registrations, establish a separate fund, and strengthen Public Interest Litigation (PIL) and class action as key reform priorities.

description: Percolation and critical phenomena show common features such as scaling and universality. Colloidal particles, immersed in a solvent close to criticality, experience long-range effective forces, named critical Casimir forces. %These originate from the confinement of the solvent critical fluctuations between the colloids. Building on the analogy between critical phenomena and percolation, we explore the possibility of observing long-range forces near a percolation threshold. To this aim we numerically evaluate the effective potential between two colloidal particles dispersed in a chemical sol and we show that it becomes attractive and long-ranged on approaching the sol percolation transition. We develop a theoretical description based on a polydisperse Asakura-Oosawa model which captures the divergence of the interaction range, allowing us to interpret such effect in terms of depletion interactions in a structured solvent. Our results provide the geometric analogue of the critical Casimir force, suggesting a novel way for tuning colloidal interactions by controlling the clustering properties of the solvent.

(Figs. 6–10)
 Diagnosis. Frons mostly light brown, M–line light, lappets brown (Fig. 6). Genae and parietalia light brown. Antennae and palpi brown. Pronotum pale brownish, darker laterally. Legs brown, mid and hind femora bicolored. Wing membrane and veins light brown, C and Sc paler. Basal cercomere light, rest brownish.
 Male. Forewing length, 11.8 mm. Hammer a short truncate cone (Fig. 7). Hooks regularly curved with pointed tips (Fig. 8). Ventral vesicles large. In lateral view, the penial apex bends dorsally (Fig. 10). Dorsal keel absent. Ventral membrane near base of hooks with a scaly appearance (Fig. 9).
 Female. Unknown.
 Type Material. Holotype, male: BRAZIL, Rio Grande do Sul, Caraá, Rio dos Sinos (29º42'53’’S 50º17'19”W), 0 4. XII. 2003.
 Distribution. Known from the type locality.
 Etymology. The name refers to the municipality in which it was collected. Noun in apposition.
 Remarks. This species was collected together with A. fuscicosta (Enderlein 1909), to which it bears some resemblance. The latter, however, is darker and, medially on the frons, the brown pigment occupies the area from the postfrontal line to the M-line. They are readily separable by their penial armatures; that of A fuscicosta having a ventrally sloping apex, small ventral vesicles and apices of hooks blunt. In fact, the penis of A. caraa, with its lack of a keel, the large ventral vesicles and the upturned apex form a unique combination in the genus. The scaly area in the ventral membrane near the base of the hooks of A. caraa is also uncommon.

description: Cadmium (Cd) is an immunotoxic metal frequently found in the environment. The in vitro study undertaken here evaluated the immunotoxic effects of Cd in isolated human peripheral blood monocytes (hPBM). The results of the studies of exposures to varying doses of Cd (0, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 µM, as cadmium dichloride [CdCl2]) for 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hr showed the test agent was cytotoxic to the cells in time- and concentration-related manners. Thereafter, using only those doses found to not cause extreme cell lethality a 48-hr period, the impact of 0.1 or 1 µM CdCl2 on the cells was evaluated. Functionally, CdCl2 treatment led to time- and concentration-related decreases in hPBM phagocytic activities as well as in the ability of the cells to form/release cytokines (including tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α and interleukin [IL]-6 and −8). The CdCl2 also led to significantly decreased ATP production (in part, via inhibition of mitochondrial complexes I and III) as well as in mitochondrial membrane potentials (MMP) and oxygen consumption rates (OCR; associated with parallel increases in cell lactate production) in the cells. In addition, CdCl2 treatment resulted in significant increases in mitochondrial membrane fluidity (MMF) and cell unsaturated fatty acid content. Based on the results here, one might conclude that some of the effects that arose during the CdCl2-induced dysfunction of the isolated hPBM (i.e. changes phagocytic activity, cytokine formation/secretion) could have evolved secondary to CdCl2-induced disruptions of hPBM cell bioenergetics – an effect that itself was a culmination of an overall toxicity from CdCl2 upon the mitochondria within these cells.
A new scenario for the origin of the 3/2 resonant system HD45364

description: In this paper we revise the model proposed by Rein et al. (2010) for the origin of the HD45364 exoplanetary system, currently known to host two planets close to the 3/2 mean-motion commensurability (MMR). We show that, due to high surface density of the protoplanetary disk needed for Type III migration, this model could only lead to planets in a quasi-resonant regime of motion, and thus not consistent with the resonant configuration obtained by Correia et al. (2009). Although both resonant and quasi-resonant solutions are statistically indistinguishable with respect to radial velocity measurements, their distinct dynamical behaviour is intriguing. We use the semi-analytical model to confirm the quantitative difference between two configurations. In order to form a system evolving inside the 3/2 resonance, we develop a different model. Our scenario includes an interaction between different (but slower) planetary migration types, planet growth, and gap formation in the protoplanetary disk. The choice of the described evolutionary path was due to a detailed analysis of the structure of the phase space in the vicinity of the 3/2 MMR employing dynamical mapping techniques. The outcomes of our simulations are able to reproduce very closely the 3/2 resonant dynamics obtained from the best-fit presented by Correia et al. (2009). In addition, varying the strength of the eccentricity damping, we can also simulate the quasi-resonant configuration similar to that in Rein et al. (2010). We furthermore show that our scenario is robust with respect to the physical parameters involved in the resonance trapping process. However, the confirmation of our scenario will be possible only with additional radial velocities measurements.

Towards Quantum Information Processing at the Attosecond Timescale

description: Coherent processing of quantum information and attosecond science had so far little in common. We here show that recent data in high harmonic emission reveal quantum information processing at the attosecond timescale. By observing the interference pattern created by the spatiotemporal overlap of photons emitted by two interfering electron paths we generate a photon Hadamard gate and thus erase the electron-trajectory information. This allows the measurement of the relative phase in electron-trajectory quantum superpositions and establishes the era of electron-photon quantum coherence and entanglement at the attosecond timescale of high-field physics.

description: In this letter, we study the self-force in the Parikh-Wilczek tunneling model of Hawking radiation for Reissner-Nordstroem black holes. We conclude that the repulsive self-force speeds up the emission and the radiation becomes an irreversible process. We also find an upper bound of charge-mass ratio for emitted particles.

description: The aim of this paper is to present a tool used to show that certain Banach spaces can be endowed with $C^k$ smooth equivalent norms. The hypothesis uses particular countable decompositions of certain subsets of $B_{X^*}$, namely boundaries. Of interest is that the main result unifies two quite well known results. In the final section, some new corollaries are given.
