COMP-1 Regulates Male and Hermaphrodite Bias of Sperm Selection in Caenorhabditis Elegans
Creators: name: Hansen, Jody M.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Sperm competition is a pervasive mode of sexual selection across the phyla that have crucial implications in microevolutionary and macroevolutionary processes. Furthermore, females can bias the selection of sperm from one male over another in a process known as cryptic female choice. While sperm competition has been the subject of intense experimental research, very little is known about the molecular pathways and cellular mechanisms that regulate these processes. Insight into the molecular pathways regulating sperm competition and cryptic female choice are likely to have a high impact in the field of evolutionary biology since so little is currently known. The nematode C. elegans offers many advantages for the study of sperm competition. Male sperm exhibit a robust competitive advantage over hermaphrodite self sperm, resulting in the almost complete preferential use of male sperm. We have identified a gene, comp-1, that regulates several sperm behaviors leading to reduced male precedence when competing with both self sperm and other male sperm. Critically, mutant males and hermaphrodites have normal fertility, suggesting that mutants produce and transfer as many functional sperm competent for motility, sensation of guidance cues, and fertilization as do wild type. We have shown that the comp-1 sperm behavioral defects are specific to competitive contexts as comp-1 sperm are functionally normal when wild type iv sperm are absent. Surprisingly, wild type sperm appears to inhibit comp-1 sperm by altering the chemical environment of the hermaphrodite, most likely to involve prostaglandin signaling. Intercellular communication between the reproductive tract and sperm is fundamental for sperm migration, and prostaglandins have been previously identified as important for this process. However, this is the first time that prostaglandins have been implicated as necessary for sperm competition. Furthermore, prostaglandins are a novel mechanism of cryptic female choice and add to the field where very little is known about how females influence sperm competition. Results from our studies of comp-1 will provide insight into the molecular pathways necessary for sperm competition and cryptic female choice, which will ultimately broaden our knowledge of the mechanisms of evolutionary change.
An Iterative BP-CNN Architecture for Channel Decoding

description: Inspired by recent advances in deep learning, we propose a novel iterative BP-CNN architecture for channel decoding under correlated noise. This architecture concatenates a trained convolutional neural network (CNN) with a standard belief-propagation (BP) decoder. The standard BP decoder is used to estimate the coded bits, followed by a CNN to remove the estimation errors of the BP decoder and obtain a more accurate estimation of the channel noise. Iterating between BP and CNN will gradually improve the decoding SNR and hence result in better decoding performance. To train a well-behaved CNN model, we define a new loss function which involves not only the accuracy of the noise estimation but also the normality test for the estimation errors, i.e., to measure how likely the estimation errors follow a Gaussian distribution. The introduction of the normality test to the CNN training shapes the residual noise distribution and further reduces the BER of the iterative decoding, compared to using the standard quadratic loss function. We carry out extensive experiments to analyze and verify the proposed framework. The iterative BP-CNN decoder has better BER performance with lower complexity, is suitable for parallel implementation, does not rely on any specific channel model or encoding method, and is robust against training mismatches. All of these features make it a good candidate for decoding modern channel codes.

description: We continue our study of the quantum mechanical motion in the $x^2y^2$ potentials for $n=2,3$, which arise in the spatially homogeneous limit of the Yang-Mills (YM) equations. In the present paper, we develop a new approach to the calculation of the partition function $Z(t)$ beyond the Thomas-Fermi (TF) approximation by adding a harmonic (Higgs) potential and taking the limit $v\to 0$, where $v$ is the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field. Using the Wigner-Kirkwood method to calculate higher-order corrections in $\hbar$, we show that the limit $v\to 0$ leads to power-like singularities of the type $v^{-n}$, which reflect the possibility of escape of the particle along the channels in the classical limit. We show how these singularities can be eliminated by taking into account the quantum fluctuations dictated by the form of the potential.

description: The phylogeny of Mustelidae is not well known because of rapid adaptive radiation within the group and a poor fossil record because of their habitats in dense forests. Phylogenetic affinities and sequences must therefore be established from anatomical specializations and modifications of various members within the family. Osteological materials from 167 specimens of the three genera of skunks (Mephitis, striped; Conepatus, hognosed; Spilogale, spotted) were examined and measured to determine osteological similarities and variations within these three groups. Behavioral correlations were then made, based upon osteological modifications in an effort to determine the degree of specialization within the subfamily Mephitinae. Skeletal materials from the remaining four subfamilies (Mustelinae, weasels and allies; Melivorinae, honey badgers; Melinae, badgers; Lutrinae, otters), were examined to compare them with the osteology of the skunks and to correlate, when possible, significant osteological implications, concerning the phylogeny within the family Mustelidae. Numerous variations were noted between the three genera of skunks as well as similarities of skunks to various other members of the family. From these observations, the following conclusions were made: 1) The subfamily Mephitinae (as well as the three genera within it) is valid. 2) Spilogale is the most generalized and Conepatus the most specialized in terms of osteological modifications. 3) Certain osteological structures are highly variable intergenerically. 4) Sexual dimorphism is expressed in skunks but in varying degrees. 5) Parallel evolution has occurred within the family Mustelidae to develop similar adaptations to enable animals to exploit similar niches.

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.

description: UVOIR bolometric light curves provide valuable insight into the nature of type Ia supernovae. We present an analysis of sixteen well-observed SNe Ia. Constraints are placed on several global parameters concerning the progenitor system, explosion mechanism and subsequent radiation transport. By fitting a radioactive decay energy deposition function to the quasi-exponential phase (50 to 100 days after maximum light), it is found that the ejected mass varies by at least a factor of two. This result suggests that a sub-Chandrasekhar mass model could be responsible for the progenitor system of some type Ia supernovae. We find that the range in the amount of synthesized (56)Ni indicates a significant variation in the burning mechanism. In order to explain a factor of ten range in the observed bolometric luminosity more detailed modeling of the explosion mechanism is required.

We provide the PBH formation criterion based on the so-called compaction function and use the peak theory statistics associated with the curvature perturbation with the local type non-Gaussianity. Providing a method to estimate the PBH abundance, we demonstrate the effects of non-Gaussianity. It is explicitly shown that the value of non-linear parameter $|f_{\rm NL}| \sim 1$ induces a similar effect to a few factors of difference in the amplitude of the power spectrum.

description: A recently developed variational resummation technique, incorporating renormalization group properties consistently, has been shown to solve the scale dependence problem that plagues the evaluation of thermodynamical quantities, e.g., within the framework of approximations such as in the hard-thermal-loop resummed perturbation theory. This method is used in the present work to evaluate thermodynamical quantities within the two-dimensional nonlinear sigma model, which, apart from providing a technically simpler testing ground, shares some common features with Yang-Mills theories, like asymptotic freedom, trace anomaly and the nonperturbative generation of a mass gap. The present application confirms that nonperturbative results can be readily generated solely by considering the lowest-order (quasi-particle) contribution to the thermodynamic effective potential, when this quantity is required to be renormalization group invariant. We also show that when the next-to-leading correction from the method is accounted for, the results indicate convergence, apart from optimally preserving, within the approximations here considered, the sought-after scale invariance.

description: The violation of local uncertainty relations is a valuable tool for detecting entanglement, especially in multi-dimensional systems. The orbital angular momentum of light provides such a multi-dimensional system. We study quantum correlations for the conjugate variables of orbital angular momentum and angular position. We determine an experimentally testable criterion for the demonstration of an angular version of the EPR paradox. For the interpretation of future experimental results from our proposed setup, we include a model for the indeterminacies inherent to the angular position measurement. For this measurement angular apertures are used to determine the probability density of the angle. We show that for a class of aperture functions a demonstration of an angular EPR paradox, according to our criterion, is to be expected.

Computational Approaches to Biological Data With Applications in Image Analysis, Human Variant Prioritization, and Metagenomics
Creators: name: Flygare, Steven
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Advances in technology have produced efficient and powerful scientific instruments for measuring biological phenomena. In particular, modern microscopes and nextgeneration sequencing machines produce data at such a rate that manual analysis is no longer practical or feasible for meaningful scientific inquiries. Thus, there is a great need for computational strategies to organize and analyze huge amounts of data produced by biological experiments. My work presents computational strategies and software solutions for application in image analysis, human variant prioritization, and metagenomics. The information content of images can be leveraged to answer an extremely broad spectrum of questions ranging from inquiries about basic biological processes to highly specific, application-driven inquiries like the efficacy of a pharmaceutical drug. Modern microscopes can produce images at a rate at which rigorous manual analysis is impossible. I have created software pipelines that automate image analysis in two specific applications domains. In addition, I discuss general image analysis strategies that can be applied to a wide variety of problems. There are tens of millions of known human genetic variants. Prioritizing human variants based on how likely they are to cause disease is of huge importance because of the potential impact on human health. Current variant prioritization methods are limited by their scope, efficiency, and accuracy. I present a variant prioritization method, the VAAST variant prioritizer, which is superior in its scope, efficiency, and accuracy to existing variant prioritization methods. The rise of next-generation sequencing enables huge quantities of sequence to be generated in a short period of time. No field of study has been affected by rapid sequencing more than metagenomics. Metagenomics, the genomic analysis of a population 􀁌v of microorganisms, has important implications for pathogen detection because metagenomics enables the culture-free detection of microorganisms. I have created Taxonomer, a comprehensive metagenomics pipeline that enables the real-time analysis of read datasets derived from environmental samples.
Building string field theory around non-conformal backgrounds

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The main limitations of string field theory arise because its present formulation requires a background representing a classical solution, a background defined by a strictly conformally invariant theory. Here we sketch a construction for a gauge-invariant string field action around non-conformal backgrounds. The construction makes no reference to any conformal theory. Its two-dimensional field-theoretic aspect is based on a generalized BRST operator satisfying a set of Weyl descent equations. Its geometric aspect uses a complex of moduli spaces of two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds having ordinary punctures, and organized by the number of special punctures which goes from zero to infinity. In this complex there is a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra that includes naturally the operator which adds one special puncture. We obtain a classical field equation that appears to relax the condition of conformal invariance usually taken to define classical string backgrounds.

description: A magnon Nernst effect, an antiferromagnetic analogue of the magnon Hall effect in ferromagnetic insulators, has been studied experimentally for a layered antiferromagnetic insulator MnPS3 in contact with two Pt strips. Thermoelectric voltage in the Pt strips grown on MnPS3 single crystals exhibits non-monotonic temperature dependence at low temperatures, which cannot be explained by electronic origins in Pt but can be ascribed to the inverse spin Hall voltage induced by a magnon Nernst effect. Control of antiferromagnetic domains in the MnPS3 crystal by magnetoelectric cooling is found to modulate the low-temperature thermoelectric voltage in Pt, which corroborates the emergence of the magnon Nernst effect in Pt|MnPS3 hybrid structures.

The main innovation of this paper consists in introducing the concepts of periodic measurement and time window in the industrial prediction problem, especially considering industrial data with time series characteristics. Experiments using real-world datasets show that the prediction accuracy is improved, 54.05% higher than that of traditional LSTM algorithm.

description: More than two thirds of all cancers are diagnosed in older adults and the diagnosis often co-occurs with normal and pathological changes of aging, which include chronic diseases and related symptoms. The purpose of this measurement study was to conduct initial psychometric testing of a newly developed self-report tool to assess comorbidity burden and symptoms, the Comorbidity and Symptom Measurement in Oncology Scale (COSMOS), and to examine the feasibility of utilizing it with older cancer survivors. Phase 1 of the two-phase design focused on determining content validity using a panel of six expert clinicians and researchers. Each subscale item was evaluated for interrater agreement of relevancy using the content validity index (CVI). The scale-CVI was .80 for the comorbidity burden subscale (CoB) and .98 for the symptom perception subscale (SxP). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for each subscale was .97 (CoB) and .84 (SxP), respectively. Subscale items with a CVI of ≥.83 and ICC ≥.60 were retained. Phase 2 included pilot testing the revised CoB and SxP subscales and symptom attribution descriptor scale in a convenience sample of 62 older adult cancer survivors (32 on active treatment and 30 off treatment for 1 or more years). Although CoB scores were equivalent between groups, off-treatment group participants had significantly more thyroid and other miscellaneous conditions. SxP scores were also similar between groups; however, the active-treatment group reported significantly more nausea (Chi Square = 4.03, p = .045), taste changes (Chi Square = 7.65, p = .006), and body image disturbances (Chi Square = 6.44, p = .011) than the off-treatment group. Three clinically relevant symptom-attribution descriptors discriminated between treatment status groups, indicating a shift from aging and cancer-related attributions in those on active treatment to aging and other causes in the off-treatment population. Test-retest reliability indicated strong stability for comorbidity burden (ICC = .917) and symptom attribution (ICC = .696). COSMOS was judged to be a feasible measure based on subsample interviews, completion time, and response patterns. The results of this study support initial validity, reliability, and usability of COSMOS.

description: Ever since its emergence in the early 2000s, social media has been subject to a multitude of interpretations. One of these is as purveyor of participatory culture. Yet, when it comes to how organizations use social media to interact with various digital stakeholders and what, if any, impact this interaction has on organizing, academics and practitioners alike still poorly understand participation. This dissertation is a qualitative study of the impact organization-stakeholder social media interaction has on organizing, and the co-construction and presentification of organizational identity. Through in-depth interviews, meeting observations, and document analysis, I engage with 21 organizations and their representatives to understand how interactions with stakeholders on social media communicatively constitute organizational practices around identity, decision-making, and strategy. Using general organizational identity theory and the Montreal School Approach to the communication constitutive of organizing field of inquiry, I explain how organizational identity and presentification are co-constructed through conversations on social media platforms. Further, I show that stakeholders of various interests participate in the communicative constitution of the organizations they engage with on social media. This is achieved through the role of the identity hub, or social media professional, who acts as an interpreter of conversations and intermediary texts, scaling up the organization. I focus particularly on the identity confirming and disconfirming messages virtual communities share with the organizations online and the effect of these messages on sensemaking, knowing, and resulting organizational identity statements. I look at how social media conversations laminate into organizational practices of decisions-making, strategic representation and ultimately, identity. The imbrication of conversations on and about social media platforms into organizational texts represents the final co-constructive step I engage, toward the social organization-discursive entity constituted by stakeholders and organizational members alike.

description: Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) disproportionately affects older women and adversely affects health related quality of life. Current medications have dangerous side effects in the older adult population, including falls and confusion. Older adult women with UUI are not sufficiently treated with current practices. There were three aims to this research. 1) To determine the research feasibility of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and the health enhancement program (HEP) in older adult women presenting with UUI, measured by recruitment, retention, and treatment fidelity. 2) To determine the intervention feasibility of an RCT comparing MBSR and HEP in older adult women presenting with UUI, measured by acceptability, tolerability, and treatment adherence. Finally, there was an exploratory aim 3) to evaluate short term preliminary efficacy of MBSR for treatment of UUI in older adult women, in comparison to HEP, measured by symptom severity, symptom bother, perceived stress, perceived self-efficacy, and the trajectory of change. Twenty-five postmenopausal women were recruited. Interested women were screened and subsequently enrolled, then randomized into one of two therapeutic (nonsurgical, nonpharmacological) approaches. They completed an 8-week intervention, remaining blinded to condition. A wide scope of feasibility determinants were examined-research: recruitment, retention, and treatment fidelity; intervention: acceptability, tolerability, and treatment adherence. All were successfully met. Additionally, severity, bother, perceived stress, perceived self-efficacy, and the rate and trajectory of change were examined in the exploratory aim. Participants saw significant improvement in all five areas. This study supports prior research suggesting potential efficacy of MBSR and elements of HEP in treating UUI in older adult women. Study findings contribute to our understanding of the complex condition of UUI in an older, more vulnerable and underrepresented population. These study findings support the merit of future research in larger scale and/or multisite trials. In addition, development and evaluation of a combined MBSR and HEP therapy to address UUI in older adult women is hypothesized to produce higher efficacy across study domains, and merits further study.
Complex Coacervates as Liquid Embolic Agents with a Novel Ionic Strength Dependent Setting Mechanism

description: In a transcatheter embolization procedure, an embolic agent is delivered locally via a microcatheter to obstruct blood flow in a blood vessel or vascular bed. These interventional radiology procedures are used to treat vascular abnormalities, hemorrhage, and neoplastic growths. Current embolization agents are plagued by toxicity and handling issues. An ideal embolic agent would be water-borne and not rely on in situ polymerization or precipitation from organic solvents for hardening. Complex coacervates represent a possible solution to these problems; they are an aqueous fluid morphology of associated polyelectrolytes that can be endowed with environmentally triggered solidification mechanisms. In this dissertation, the development of embolic coacervates (ECs) based upon an ionic strength driven setting mechanism is described. ECs are low-viscosity liquid coacervates in solutions of high ionic strength, but undergo a phase transition into a solid upon entering the low ionic strength environment of blood vessels. Early iterations were based upon the commercially available polycation protamine and an oligophosphate. These agents validated the ionic strength dependent setting mechanism and successfully occluded blood flow down to the capillary level in an acute transcatheter embolization of a rabbit kidney. Next, a synthetic polymer, poly(3-guanidinopropylmethacrylamide-co-methacrylamide), was developed to replicate the structure of protamine while offering control over the mechanical properties of the embolic both before and after solidification. ECs made from this synthetic polymer demonstrated an increase in dynamic shear modulus of nearly 4 orders of magnitude upon injection into physiological saline. In embolization of rabbit auricular arteries, these agents incited neutrophilic inflammation which began to subside at 2-4 weeks. At the endpoint of the study (4 weeks), occlusions remained stable and early signs of fibrous tissue deposition were observed. While longer-term tissue response studies are needed, embolic coacervates (ECs) represent a promising developmental embolic agent. In the final chapter, drug-releasing ECs were prepared with the antiangiogenic drug sunitinib malate. These ECs released 80% of their drug payload over the course of 14 days, displaying a linear zero order release profile. The results presented in this final chapter provide a framework for developing future embolics which prevent angiogenic revascularization resulting from post-embolization ischemia.

description: Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease have been on the decline in the last century, but several episodes of resurgence in the United States and Europe, as well as continued high mortality in developing countries, reinforce the need for continued development of improved methods for detection of the causative agent, Group A Strep pharyngitis. Traditionally diagnosed via clinical and bacteriologic methods, newer molecular strategies to identify Group A Strep in patient samples have become available, but their acceptance for clinical testing has been thwarted by test complexity, expense, and lack of timeliness. With the advent of LAMP molecular technology, simpler molecular tests more appropriate for rapid, inexpensive diagnostic assays are becoming available. A comparison of one of these assays, illumigene® Group A Streptococcus DNA Amplification Assay, with traditional rapid antigen and culture testing from the perspective of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, convenience and ease of use, time constraints, "real" value, process improvement, and cost was undertaken. illumigene® outperformed combined antigen and culture testing in sensitivity, accuracy, and turnaround time. Both methodologies were very similar for specificity and perceived test convenience. In a data review from the perspective of diagnostic accuracy, illumigene® was 99.5% accurate compared to combined accuracy rate of 93.2% for antigen and culture testing, indicating that one case would have been misdiagnosed by illumigene® compared to 36 cases being misdiagnosed or treatment delayed using traditional testing iv methods. Three different approaches to cost comparison yielded equivocal results that cannot be resolved without further real-world study, but illumigene® outperformed routine antigen and culture testing in two of three cost scenarios. Based on the data obtained in this study, illumigene® has proven to be a viable contender for inclusion in future algorithms for improved diagnosis of Group A Strep pharyngitis, and its use will mitigate the damaging effects of this disease and its sequelae.
An Analysis of the Shapes of Ultraviolet Extinction Curves. IV. Extinction without Standards

description: We present a new method for deriving UV-through-IR extinction curves, based on the use of stellar atmosphere models to provide estimates of the intrinsic (i.e., unreddened) stellar spectral energy distributions (SEDs), rather than unreddened (or lightly reddened) standard stars. We show that this ``extinction-without-standards'' technique greatly increases the accuracy of the derived extinction curves and allows realistic estimations of the uncertainties. An additional benefit of the technique is that it simultaneously determines the fundamental properties of the reddened stars themselves, making the procedure valuable for both stellar and interstellar studies. We demonstrate how the extinction-without-standards curves make it possible to: 1) study the uniformity of extinction in localized spatial regions with unprecedented precision; 2) determine the relationships between different aspects of curve morphology; 3) produce high quality extinction curves from low color excess sightlines; and 4) derive reliable extinction curves for mid-late B stars, thereby increasing spatial coverage and allowing the study of extinction in open clusters and associations dominated by such stars. The application of this technique to the available database of UV-through-IR SEDs, and to future observations, will provide valuable constraints on the nature of interstellar grains and on the processes which modify them, and will enhance our ability to remove the multi-wavelength effects of extinction from astronomical energy distributions.

description: We study of the relation between the geometry of sets in complex hyperbolic space and Hilbert spaces with complete Pick kernels. We focus on the geometry associated with assembling sets into larger sets and of assembling Hilbert spaces into larger spaces. Model questions include describing the possible triangular faces of a tetrahedron in hyperbolic space and describing the three dimensional subspaces of four dimensional Hilbert spaces with Pick kernels. Our novel technical tool is a complex analog of the cosine of a vertex angle.

description: Based on a model of plasma wakefield in the strongly nonlinear (bubble) regime, we develop a lowest-order perturbation theory for the components of electromagnetic fields inside and outside the bubble using the assumption of small thickness of the electron sheath on the boundary of the bubble. Unlike previous models, we derive simple explicit expressions for the components of electromagnetic fields not only in the vicinity of the center of the bubble, but in the whole volume of the bubble (including areas of driving or accelerated bunches) as well as outside it. Moreover, we apply the results to the case of radially non-uniform plasma and, in particular, to plasma with a hollow channel. The obtained results are verified with 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations which show good correspondence to our model.

description: This book has four parts. In the first part, we collected five recent papers, published before in Progress in Physics, but reviewed. In the first paper, we approach a novel form of plasma, Unmatter Plasma. The electron-positron beam plasma was generated in the laboratory in the beginning of 2015. This experimental fact shows that unmatter, a new form of matter that is formed by matter and antimatter bind together (mathematically predicted a decade ago) really exists. That is the electron-positron plasma experiment of 2015 is the experimentum crucis verifying the mathematically predicted unmatter.
Inclusive-jet and dijet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at HERA
Creators: name: ZEUS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Inclusive-jet and dijet differential cross sections have been measured in neutral current deep inelastic ep scattering for exchanged boson virtualities Q2 > 125 GeV2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 82 pb-1. Jets were identified in the Breit frame using the kt cluster algorithm. Jet cross sections are presented as functions of several kinematic and jet variables. The results are also presented in different regions of Q2. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations describe the measurements well. Regions of phase space where the theoretical uncertainties are small have been identified. Measurements in these regions have the potential to constrain the gluon density in the proton when used as inputs to global fits of the proton parton distribution functions.

description: We report on a technique to construct a flux rope (FR) from eruption data at the Sun. The technique involves line-of-sight magnetic fields, post-eruption arcades in the corona, and white-light coronal mass ejections (CMEs) so that the FR geometric and magnetic properties can be fully defined in addition to the kinematic properties. We refer to this FR as FRED (Flux Rope from Eruption Data). We illustrate the FRED construction using the 2012 July 12 eruption and compare the coronal and interplanetary properties of the FR. The results indicate that the FRED input should help make realistic predictions of the components of the FR magnetic field in the heliosphere.

Logarithmic Correlation Functions in Two Dimensional Turbulence

description: We consider the correlation functions of two-dimensional turbulence in the presence and absence of a three-dimensional perturbation, by means of conformal field theory. In the persence of three dimensional perturbation, we show that in the strong coupling limit of a small scale random force, there is some logarithmic factor in the correlation functions of velocity stream functions. We show that the logarithmic conformal field theory $c_{8,1}$ describes the 2D- turbulence both in the absence and the presence of the perturbation. We obtain the following energy spectrum $E(k) \sim k^{-5.125 } \ln(k )$ for perturbed 2D - turbulence and $E(k) \sim k^{-5 } \ln(k )$ for unperturbed turbulence. Recent numerical simulation and experimental results confirm our prediction.
