description: The structure of the broad line region (BLR) is an essential ingredient in the determination of active galactic nuclei (AGN) virial black hole masses, which in turn are important to study the role of black holes in galaxy evolution. Constraints on the BLR geometry and dynamics can be obtained from velocity-resolved studies using reverberation mapping data (i.e. monitoring data). However, monitoring data are observationally expensive and only available for a limited sample of AGN, mostly confined to the local Universe. Here we explore a new version of a Bayesian inference, physical model of the BLR which uses an individual spectrum and prior information on the BLR size from the radius-luminosity relation, to model the AGN BLR geometry and dynamics. We apply our model to a sample of 11 AGN, which have been previously modelled using monitoring data. Our single-epoch BLR model is able to constrain some of the BLR parameters with inferred parameter values that agree within the uncertainties with those determined from the modelling of monitoring data. We find that our model is able to derive stronger constraints on the BLR for AGN with broad emission lines that qualitatively have more substructure and more asymmetry, presumably as they contain more information to constrain the physical model. The performance of this model makes it a practical and cost-effective tool to determine some of the BLR properties of a large sample of low and high redshift AGN, for which monitoring data are not available.

description: EmA democracia na América, Tocqueville requer tanto uma reflexão filosófica sobre o fundamento da democracia moderna, assim como o sistema democrático americano, chegando a uma conclusão que instiga, ainda hoje, o pensamento político: a igualdade de condições, princípio regulador da democracia americana redundou em apatia política. Segundo Tocqueville, no bojo dessa retração do homem do cenário da vida pública surge um novo Leviatã social - o Estado centralizador e burocrático dos tempos modernos - a partir do qual define o despotismo democrático. A descrição do presente estudo é num primeiro momento acompanhar a descrição tocquevilliana da democracia americana e por extensão a descrição que Tocqueville faz sobre as causas que podem conduzir à apatia política. Num segundo momento, visa descrever os possíveis antídotos produzidos por Tocqueville para que o homem retome sua autonomia política, perguntando-nos ao mesmo tempo se os reflexos do autor, todavia nos podem ajudar a pensar o presente. Conclui-se que Tocqueville é um clássico do pensamento político e enquanto tal continua a ser referencia para pensarmos as questões importantes da atualidade, entre elas o aprofundamento da democracia.

description: We study a deformation of the type IIB Maldacena-Nunez background which arises as the near-horizon limit of NS5 branes wrapped on a two-cycle. This background is dual to a "little string theory" compactified on a two-sphere, a theory which at low energies includes four-dimensional N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory. The deformation we study corresponds to a mass term for some of the scalar fields in this theory, and it breaks supersymmetry completely. In the language of seven-dimensional SO(4) gauged supergravity the deformation involves (at leading order) giving a VEV, depending only on the radial coordinate, to a particular scalar field. We explicitly construct the corresponding solution at leading order in the deformation, both in seven-dimensional and in ten-dimensional supergravity, and we verify that it completely breaks supersymmetry. Since the original background had a mass gap and we are performing a small deformation, the deformed background is guaranteed to be stable even though it is not supersymmetric.

 Atractotomoidea Yasunaga, 1999: 190 (n. gen.); Yasunaga, 2001: 154 (diag.); Duwal et al. 2010b: 7 (diag.).
 Type species: Atractotomoidea castanea Yasunaga, 1999 (original designation).
 Diagnosis. Generally recognized by tiny, chestnut brown body; uniformly distributed with minute dark spots on dorsal surface furnished with simple, pale and sub-erect pubescence; sub-equal antennal segment III and VI; hooked posterior process of left paramere; mesially coiled endosoma bifurcated apically. For detail description see Yasunaga, 1999.
 Distribution. Japan, Korea (South), Nepal, Thailand.
 Remarks. Due to recent documentation of Atractotomoidea from various regions of Japan (Yasunaga 1999; 2010), Korea, Nepal (Duwal et al. 2010b) and Thailand (Yasunaga 2010) it is assumed that the genus might be abundant around Southern and Eastern Asia.

description: There is limited research on the connection between exposure to PM2.5, particularly its components, and endometriosis. Consequently, our investigation seeks to discern the potential links between PM2.5, its components, and endometriosis. To achieve this, we performed a case-control study over eight years (2013–2020) at the reproductive center of China’s First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, encompassing 1243 endometriosis patients and 8016 controls. We gauged three-year mean levels of PM2.5 and specific components at residential locations, and then employed logistic regression models to assess how PM2.5 and these components influenced the endometriosis prevalence. We evaluated their combined effects using weighted quantile sum (WQS) and quantitative g-computation (Qgcomp) models. The results exhibited an elevated odds ratio for endometriosis prevalence per standard deviation increase of PM2.5 average exposure and its components. Subgroup analyses also suggested greater susceptibility among women over 30, with dysmenorrhea, and living in urban. The positive correlation between endometriosis and the components of PM2.5 was confirmed in both WQS and Qgcomp models, and SO42− was identified as the most significant contributor. Sensitivity analyses showed that the positive association of SO42− with endometriosis risk remained stable. This study explains to which factors the association between PM2.5 and endometriosis is attributable and recommends that regulating sources of SO42− to reduce the impact of PM2.5-associated endometriosis provides clinical and public health guidance

description: Relational governance is argued by many authors to positively affect performance exchange between business partners. Investigating the supplier side of the dyad, this study focuses on the effect of behavior uncertainty on the relationship between relational exchange supported by trust and the outcome of the exchange—negotiations and monitoring costs that occur during bargaining and ex post arrangements. Moderated multiple regression analyses is employed to test the model on primary data collected from a sample of 170 Albanian farmers engaged in cultivation and collection of medicinal aromatic plants. Findings show empirical support for the proposition that the adoption of relational exchange lowers ex post transaction costs. It also demonstrates that behavior uncertainty acts as a quasi-moderator, wherein it impacts both directly and indirectly the ex post transaction costs. The role of uncertainty in shaping relational ties, outcomes, and implications is further discussed.

description: Classical multiscale analysis based on wavelets has a number of successful applications, e.g. in data compression, fast algorithms, and noise removal. Wavelets, however, are adapted to point singularities, and many phenomena in several variables exhibit intermediate-dimensional singularities, such as edges, filaments, and sheets. This suggests that in higher dimensions, wavelets ought to be replaced in certain applications by multiscale analysis adapted to intermediate-dimensional singularities. My lecture described various initial attempts in this direction. In particular, I discussed two approaches to geometric multiscale analysis originally arising in the work of Harmonic Analysts Hart Smith and Peter Jones (and others): (a) a directional wavelet transform based on parabolic dilations; and (b) analysis via anistropic strips. Perhaps surprisingly, these tools have potential applications in data compression, inverse problems, noise removal, and signal detection; applied mathematicians, statisticians, and engineers are eagerly pursuing these leads.

description: We show from real-space Hartree-Fock calculations within the extended Hubbard model that next-nearest neighbor (t') hopping processes act to suppress the formation of static charge stripes. This result is confirmed by investigating the evolution of charge-inhomogeneous corral and stripe phases with increasing t' of both signs. We propose that large t' values in YBCO prevent static stripe formation, while anomalously small t' in LSCO provides an additional reason for the appearance of static stripes only in these systems.

description: Theories with large extra dimensions can generate small neutrino masses when the standard model neutrinos are coupled to singlet fermions propagating in higher dimensions. The couplings can also generate mass splittings and mixings among the flavour neutrinos in the brane. We systematically study the minimal scenario involving only one singlet bulk fermion coupling weakly to the flavour neutrinos. We explore the neutrino mass structures in the brane that can potentially account for the atmospheric, solar and LSND anomalies simultaneously in a natural way. We demonstrate that in the absence of a priori mixings among the SM neutrinos, it is not possible to reconcile all these anomalies. The presence of some structure in the mass matrix of the SM neutrinos can solve this problem. This is exemplified by the Zee model, which when embedded in extra dimensions in a minimal way can account for all the neutrino anomalies.

description: Este trabalho visa apresentar os alcances e limites da teoria da dependência, delineada a partir de 1970, como proposta de leitura da realidade econômica do continente latino-americano. Procuraremos mostrar que a teoria da dependência está vinculada às ideias mestras da teoria do desenvolvimento da CEPAL. Nesse sentido, as alcances da teoria da dependência, se comparada com a teoria do desenvolvimento, estão vinculados à ideia de que a situação de subdesenvolvimento no continente latino-americano se relaciona com o mundo da economia e da política. Por outro lado, os limites da teoria da dependência radicam no fato de que ela não cumpriu com sua proposta inicial, pois sua leitura da realidade latinoamericana ficou restrita a aspectos econômicos. Uma análise parte do pressuposto de que uma crise da modernidade se dá em todos os aspectos da vida ocidental, fruto da racionalidade econômica e do desenvolvimento unidimensional, o que atinge uma região latino-americana diretamente. Assim, tanto a compreensão da realidade que nos circunda, assim como a sua transformação, adequada que se repense o modelo de homogeneização do padrão de produção e consumo, vigentes na sociedade latino-americana, cuja matriz é o modelo ocidental dos países do centro .

description: We conducted 59 interviews at six sites across the US to assess the impact of mobile markets that had received Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP) grants. We found that while mobile markets can be important outlets for producers and improve access to fresh produce for consumers, they are often costly to operate and dwarfed by the distribution of free produce by mobile food pantries operated by food banks. Several of the sites provide innovative partnerships that enhanced the sustainability of the mobile markets and complemented mobile pantries. The interviews highlight the need for coordinated efforts by non-profits and policy makers in addressing markets for producers, especially beginning or small producers, and access to healthy food by the food insecure.

description: Within the framework of exact renormalization group flow equations, a scale-dependent transformation of the field variables provides for a continuous translation of UV to IR degrees of freedom. Using the gauged NJL model as an example, this translation results in a construction of partial bosonization at all scales. A fixed-point structure arises which makes it possible to distinguish between fundamental-particle and bound-state behavior of the scalar fields.

description: The crystallographic orientations and residual stresses within recrystallizing grains in partially recrystallized β titanium—Gum Metal—were examined non-destructively in 3D using synchrotron Differential Aperture X-ray Microscopy. Contrary to common assumptions, significant local stresses and stress variations are observed within the recrystallizing grains. The results reveal that the development of these local residual stresses depends on the plastic deformation mode and material’s elastic constants, rather than grain properties such as size and orientation, or even the material’s yield stress. This work provides insights valuable for the design of advanced materials with heterogeneous microstructures.

description: This study examined the association between short-term exposure to air pollution and stroke mortality, and identified which types of stroke were most affected. Data on stroke mortality from 2014 to 2022 were extracted from the Population Death Register Information System of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Concentrations of air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2 and O3) were obtained from the China Environmental Monitoring Center. Meteorological data (average daily temperature and humidity) were obtained from the China Meteorological Administration. A quasi-Poisson generalized additive model was used to assess the relationship between air pollutant and stroke mortality. Short-term air pollution exposure was positively associated with stroke mortality. Specifically, exposure to particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10) was more closely linked to ischemic stroke than to hemorrhagic stroke.Notably, for per 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 (lag 02), PM10 (lag 03), SO2 (lag 04), and NO2 (lag 04), there was a corresponding increase in stroke mortality of 0.948% (95% CI: 0.022, 1.883), 0.697% (95% CI: 0.043, 1.354), 7.419% (95% CI: 3.227, 11.780) and 3.367% (95% CI: 1.398, 5.375), respectively. Stratified analyses indicated that the pollutants effects on stroke mortality varied by gender, age group and season.

description: A partir do iluminismo apostou-se que a razão seria capaz de lançar luz suficiente sobre a sociedade europeia, tendo em vista a separação da esfera política do âmbito religioso. Importantes teóricos da política moderna caminhavam nesta direção ao elaborarem teorias sobre o poder, desvinculadas do ideário divino. Este ideário político ancorado em processos políticos puramente racionais nunca se cumpriu cabalmente na Europa e na América Latina, já que, aqui existe uma possibilidade das políticas políticas e religiosas se entrecruzarem de formas variadas. Para entendermos melhor este fenômeno, nos ocuparemos do processo de sacralização da política venezuelana a partir de dois momentos: em primeiro lugar, o uso que Chávez faz da figura Bolívar como peça fundamental da refundação da República da Venezuela. Em segundo lugar, quando durante a enfermidade de Chávez e após a sua morte, passa a ser cultuado pelo povo. O trabalho está ancorado em aprofundamento da literatura pertinente ao tema, e conclui que, enquanto vivo explorou uma figura de Bolívar como elemento central de coesão nacional, enfatizando traços clássicos do populismo. Por sua vez, após a sua morte, passa a ser cultuado e contribui para o enaltecimento e perpetuação do chavismo.

description: Binary pulsars can be excellent probes of ultra-light dark matter. We consider the scenario where the latter is represented by a spin-2 field. The coherent oscillations of the dark matter field perturb the dynamics of binary systems, leading to secular effects for masses that resonate with the binary systems. For the range $10^{-23}$eV $\lesssim m \lesssim 10^{-17}$eV we show that current timing data could potentially constrain the universal coupling strength of dark matter to ordinary matter at the level of $α\simeq 10^{-5}$.

description: It is shown that an action inspired from a BF and Chern-Simons model, based on the $AdS_4$ isometry group SO(3, 2), with the inclusion of a Higgs potential term, furnishes the MacDowell-Mansouri-Chamseddine-West action for gravity, with a Gauss-Bonnet and cosmological constant term. The $AdS_4$ space is a natural vacuum of the theory. Using Vasiliev's procedure to construct higher spin massless fields in AdS spaces and a suitable star product, we discuss the preliminary steps to construct the corresponding higher-spin action in $AdS_4$ space representing the higher spin extension of this model. Brief remarks on Noncommutative Gravity are made.

description: We first present detailed measurements of the rounding behavior around the superconducting transition temperature, $T_c$, of the in-plane electrical conductivity, magnetoconductivity and magnetization, including the low and moderate magnetic field regimes, in a high-quality single crystal and a thin film of the prototypical optimally-doped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ (OPT Y-123), in which the inhomogeneity effects are minimized. Then, it is presented a comparison of these experimental data with the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau (GL) approach that takes into account the unavoidable contribution of the fluctuating pairs, the only theoretical scenario allowing at present to analyze these roundings at the quantitative level. These analyses demonstrate that the measured rounding effects around $T_c$ may be explained quantitative and consistently in terms of the GL scenario, even up to the rounding onset temperatures if the quantum localization, associated with the shrinkage of the superconducting wavefunction, is taken into account. The implications of our results on the pseudogap physics of optimally-doped cuprates are also discussed.

description: The insoluble particulate matter deposited on ice sheets provide key information to reconstruct past climate. The low concentration of some insoluble particulate matter, such as terrigenous particles and microfossils, challenges the efficiency of the recovery and the representativeness of the results. Here we present a new optimized method to extract, quantify and classify targeted low concentration insoluble particulate matter. Particle recovery rates and particle distribution were investigated using polystyrene particle standards filtered through Polycarbonate membrane filters and subsequently scanned in a scanning electron microscope. Experimental results in continuous and discrete sampling systems reveal consistent trends in the transport and removal of particulate material inside a filtration system. Statistical simulations are used to optimize the sample analyses required to achieve representative results. The analysis of diatoms in ice cores using this new method uncovered their potential to hold valuable climate records from the Antarctic Peninsula region. The data presented here evidence the presence of a measurable amount of marine diatoms with sub-annual variations, highlighting the potential of this record as a seasonal indicator. The new method presented provides an optimized and statistically representative approach for extracting, recovering and analyzing micrometre-sized, low-concentration insoluble particulate matter in ice.

description: The adverse health effects of indoor PM2.5 are considerably influenced by its elemental composition. Here, we evaluated indoor PM2.5 elements in preschools in Taiyuan, China, and assessed the lifetime carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of 11 selected elements in children. Additionally, we assessed the association between these elements and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), a non-invasive biomarker of respiratory symptoms. We randomly selected 10 preschools in Taiyuan and measured FeNO levels in 507 5-year-old children. Elemental analysis of the PM2.5 samples was conducted using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Associations between PM2.5-bound elements and FeNO were calculated using linear mixed models. Health risk assessments revealed that Cr and Mn have hazard quotient > 1, indicating they pose a non-carcinogenic risk in the study area. Meanwhile, Cr, Ni, As, Cd, and Co presented carcinogenic health risks with Ri > 10−6. The risks of other toxic heavy metals were within acceptable limits. The indoor levels of most elements in PM2.5 correlated with elevated FeNO levels. This study provides novel insights into the associations between PM2.5-bound elements in classrooms and FeNO among children. It is crucial to implement strategies controlling heavy-metal pollution in preschools and ensuring the protection of children who may be exposed.

description: Random matrices have their roots in multivariate analysis in statistics, and since Wigner's pioneering work in 1955, they have been a very important tool in mathematical physics. In functional analysis, random matrices and random structures have in the last two decades been used to construct Banach spaces with surprising properties. After Voiculescu in 1990--1991 used random matrices to classification problems for von Neumann algebras, they have played a key role in von Neumann algebra theory. In this lecture we will discuss some new applications of random matrices to operator algebra theory, namely applications to classification problems for $C^*$-algebras and to the invariant subspace problem relative to a von Neumann algebra.
On the Importance of NNLO QCD and Isospin-breaking Corrections in $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$

description: Following the 1999 analysis of Gambino, Haisch and one of us, we stress that all the recent NLO analyses of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in the Standard Model (SM) suffer from the renormalization scheme dependence present in the electroweak penguin contributions as well as from scale uncertainties in them related to the matching scale $μ_W$ and in particular to $μ_t$ in $m_t(μ_t)$. We also reemphasize the important role of isospin-breaking and QED effects in the evaluation of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$. Omitting all these effects, as done in the 2015 analysis by RBC-UKQCD collaboration, and choosing as an example the QCD penguin ($Q_6$) and electroweak penguin ($Q_8$) parameters $B_6^{(1/2)}$ and $B_8^{(3/2)}$ to be $B_6^{(1/2)} = 0.80 \pm 0.08$ and $B_8^{(3/2)} = 0.76 \pm 0.04$ at $μ= m_c = 1.3$ GeV, we find $(\varepsilon'/\varepsilon)_\text{SM} = (9.4 \pm 3.5) \times 10^{-4}$, whereas including them results in $(\varepsilon'/\varepsilon)_\text{SM} = (5.6\pm 2.4) \times 10^{-4}$. This is an example of an anomaly at the $3.3\,σ$ level, which would be missed without these corrections. NNLO QCD contributions to QCD penguins are expected to further enhance this anomaly. We provide a table for $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ for different values of $B_6^{(1/2)}$ and the isospin-breaking parameter $\hatΩ_\text{eff}$, that should facilitate monitoring the values of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in the SM when the RBC-UKQCD calculations of hadronic matrix elements including isospin-breaking corrections and QED effects will improve with time.

description: A sociedade civil, tema pouco recorrente na tradição do pensamento político moderno, começa a ganhar status ﬁ losóﬁ co a partir das reﬂ exões de Hegel e de Marx. O tema da sociedade civil aparece, tanto nas reﬂ exões ﬁ losóﬁ cas e políticas de um como do outro, como um tema associado às reﬂ exões sobre o Estado moderno. Ambos os autores visam compreender nos alvores da modernidade a contradição entre o Estado e a sociedade civil, ou entre o universal e o particular, o homem e o cidadão, o bourgeois e o citoyen, o político e o social. De um lado, Hegel percebe o Estado como ente “ético” e de superação das contradições do mundo das necessidades. Marx, por sua vez, ao analisar a concepção hegeliana de Estado, o critica e procura “dessacralizar” tal concepção, daí a defesa de parte de Marx que tanto a sociedade civil como o Estado devam desvanecer para que o homem possa reconciliar-se consigo mesmo. Por sua vez, a saída de ambos os pensadores para a contradição apontada entre Estado e sociedade civil são passíveis de críticas, porque Hegel aponta para o totalitarismo e Marx para uma espécie de messianismo

description: Recently, there have been some major advances in the theory of optimal designs for interference models when the block is arranged in one-dimensional layout. Relatively speaking, the study for two-dimensional interference model is quite limited partly due to technical difficulties. This paper tries to fill this gap. Specifically, we set the tone by characterizing all possible universally optimal designs simultaneously through one linear equations system with respect to the proportions of block arrays. However, such linear equations system is not readily solvable due to the extremely large number of block arrays. This computational issue could be resolved by identifying a small subset of block arrays with the theoretical guarantee that any optimal design is supported by this subset. The nature of two dimensional layout of the block has made this task very technically challenging, and we have theoretically derived such subset for any size of the treatment array and any number of treatments under comparison. This facilitates the development of the algorithm for deriving either approximate or exact designs.

description: We develop an extended Nominal Rate of Assistance (NRA) methodology to disentangle policy welfare impacts for various interest groups along the value chain (to disaggregate effects within the “producer” and “consumer” umbrellas). We apply our value chain NRA methodology to Pakistan’s price and trade policy. We analyse the welfare implications for various agents in the wheat-flour value chain from 2000 to 2013, a period characterized by major global price volatility and by regular adjustments of domestic policies. We find that the wheat price policy has generally benefitted flour consumers and wheat traders at the expense of wheat farmers and to a lesser extent flour millers. Our findings illustrate that the welfare implications of policies can be quite different within the “producer” and “consumer” umbrellas, which has potentially important implications for economic and political economy analyses and for the design of policies aimed at targeting the poorest groups along value chains.

description: We investigate steady granular surface flows in a rotating drum and demonstrate the existence of rigid clusters of grains embedded in the flowing layer. These clusters are fractal and their size is power-law distributed from the grain size scale up to the thickness of the flowing layer. The implications of the absence of a characteristic length scale on available theoretical models of dense granular flows are discussed. Finally, we suggest a possible explanation of the difference between velocity profiles observed in surface flows and in flows down a rough inclined plane.

description: A calculational scheme is developed to evaluate chiral corrections to properties of composite baryons with composite pions. The composite baryons and pions are bound states derived from a microscopic chiral quark model. The model is amenable to standard many-body techniques such as the BCS and RPA formalisms. An effective chiral model involving only hadronic degrees of freedom is derived from the macroscopic quark model by projection onto hadron states. Chiral loops are calculated using the effective hadronic Hamiltonian. A simple microscopic confining interaction is used to illustrate the derivation of the pion-nucleon form factor and the calculation of pionic self-energy corrections to the nucleon and Delta(1232) masses.
