description: The growing substrate of the putting greens is considered a key factor for a healthy turf ecosystem. Actually detailed study on the effects of growth promoting bacteria and biostimulants on a professional sport turf are very limited. This thesis aimed to study the effectiveness of different microorganisms and biostimulants in order to improve the knowledge relative to the relationship between the beneficial microflora and root apparatus of sport turfs. The research project was divided in three principal steps:
Initially, commercial products based on biostimulants and microorganisms were tested on a Lolium perenne L. essence grown in a controlled-environment. The principal evaluations were the study of the habitus of plants, biomass production and length of leaves and roots. Were studied the capacity of colonization of microorganisms within root tissues and rhizosphere.
In the second step were developed two different biostimulant solutions based on effective microorganisms, mycorrhizae and humic acids. This test was conducted both on an Agrostis stolonifera putting green (Modena Golf & Country Club) in a semi-field condition and within a growth chamber on a Lolium perenne L. essence. Fungicide and chemicals applications were suspended in order to assess the effectiveness of the inoculants for nutrition and control of pests.
In the last step, different microorganism mixes and biostimulants were tested on an experimental putting green in the Turf Research Center (TRC) (Virginia Tech, United States) in a real managing situation. The effects of different treatments were studied maintaining all chemicals and mechanicals managements scheduled during a sport season.
Both growth-chamber and field results confirmed the capacity of microorganisms based biostimulants to promote the physiologic conditions of the plants, improve the growth of the roots and enhance the aesthetic performance of the turf. Molecular analysis confirmed the capacity of microorganisms to colonize the root tissues.

description: The mean-square charge radii of $^{207,208}$Hg ($Z=80, N=127,128$) have been studied for the first time and those of $^{202,203,206}$Hg ($N=122,123,126$) remeasured by the application of in-source resonance-ionization laser spectroscopy at ISOLDE (CERN). The characteristic \textit{kink} in the charge radii at the $N=126$ neutron shell closure has been revealed, providing the first information on its behavior below the $Z=82$ proton shell closure. A theoretical analysis has been performed within relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov and non-relativistic Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approaches, considering both the new mercury results and existing lead data. Contrary to previous interpretations, it is demonstrated that both the kink at $N=126$ and the odd-even staggering (OES) in its vicinity can be described predominately at the mean-field level, and that pairing does not need to play a crucial role in their origin. A new OES mechanism is suggested, related to the staggering in the occupation of the different neutron orbitals in odd- and even-$A$ nuclei, facilitated by particle-vibration coupling for odd-$A$ nuclei.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: With the hypothesis that all independent degrees of freedom of basic building blocks should be treated equally on the same footing and correlated by a possible maximal symmetry, we arrive at an 4-dimensional space-time unification model. In this model the basic building blocks are Majorana fermions in the spinor representation of 14-dimensional quantum space-time with a gauge symmetry $G = SO(1,3)\times SU(32)\times U(1)_A \times SU(3)_F$. The model leads to new physics including mirror particles of the standard model. It enables us to issue some fundamental questions that include: why our living space-time is 4-dimensional, why parity is not conserved in our world, how is the stability of proton, what is the origin of CP violation and what can be the dark matter.

description: Artificial intelligence algorithms are increasingly used for online
pricing and are seen as a major threat to competitive markets. We
show that if firms use a deep Q-network (DQN) as an example of a
state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm, prices are supra-competitive
in duopoly but quickly move to competitive prices as the number of
competitors in an oligopoly increases. This finding is very robust concerning
variations of the exploration and learning rate used in the DQN
algorithm.

description: Detailed conodont biostratigraphy and lithostratigraphy of the Late Permian and Early Triassic beds were studied at the LukaC section in western Slovenia. The analyzed section is composed of the Bellerophon Formation ("evaporite-dolomite member") and the newly introduced Lukaè Formation ("transitional beds", "streaky limestone member" and "carbonate-clastic beds member"). The Permian-Triassic boundary interval is represented by "transitional beds" of carbonate facies deposited in shallow restricted marine conditions. The presence of H. parvus in sample L1 in the "transitional beds" marks the systemic boundary between Permian and Triassic. The studied interval is characterized by a diverse microfauna that contain conodonts, foraminifers, ostracods and gastropods. Six conodont zones have been recognized, in ascending order, the latest Changhsingian (uppermost Permian) praeparvus Zone, and the Griesbachian (lowermost Triassic) parvus, lobata, staeschei-isarcica, postparvus and anceps zones. This faunal succession represents the first known and the most complete conodont biozonation across the Permian-Triassic interval from the entire Dinaric region. The recognized conodont biozones can be correlated with the biozonation of the Southern Alps and of the GSSP Meishan D section.

Stress in the hospital setting and the use of critical incident stress debriefing
Creators: name: Gough, Marilyn May
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Unaddressed worker stress among hospital based professionals represents a serious threat to quality health care. Such costly outcomes as increased absenteeism, job turnover and substandard or failed client interventions are only a few of the possible serious consequences. In spite of this threat, minimal attention has been given to developing and implementing comprehensive stress management programs in this setting. Stress management strategies that do exist tend to be short term and focused on high profile incidents and individual coping. Cumulative stress and systemic contributors to stress are given little attention. The purpose of this study was to determine stress levels and related factors among hospital professionals and to explore their experience of Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) as a stress management strategy. Three issues emerged from the data that represented gaps in the literature with regards to worker stress in the hospital setting. These issues involved gender, cumulative stress and worker empowerment.
title: Systemic pressures, party politics and foreign policy: Serbia between Russia and the West, 2008-2020

description: Since 2008 Serbia maintained its relations with the West, meaning the EU and the US while nurturing partnership with Russia, even though it has an interest in joining the EU. This thesis examines the causes of the Serbian balancing act between Russia and the West in the period between 2008 and 2020. The thesis determines the causal factors behind Serbian balancing act and factors that account for differences in the intensity of this policy during different historical stages. The analysis uses the causal mechanism of the neoclassical realism (NCR) where the individual behaviour of the state is determined by the international systemic processes (independent variable) that are translated through unit-level factors (intervening variable). The thesis methodologically relies on process tracing, case study and analytical narrative. The research was based on the analysis of secondary source materials, like empirical and theoretical literature, media material and think-tank reports. More importantly, the study is based on primary source material collected through fieldwork in Serbia, in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with 31 stakeholders. There are four arguments offered within this study. The first is that the independence of Kosovo is the first systemic process shaping Serbian policy as Serbia became closer to Russia from that point. The second is the lack of permanent US interest in the region, and the inability of the EU to enlarge generated a power vacuum in the Balkans that acts as the second systemic process. In that vacuum, there was a permissive environment for Russia to act more assertively and in which Serbia gained an incentive to balance and play Russia and the West against each other. Third, the difference in the intensity of Serbian balancing act is determined by the state of relations between Russia and the West, where if the relationship becomes more confrontational Serbia is even more inclined to hedge its bets and continue its balancing. Fourth, the party politics in Serbia also shapes balancing act acting as the intervening variable as foreign policy becomes used in the domestic struggle for turf.
CONODONT DATING OF THE LOWER TRIASSIC SEDIMENTARY ROCKS IN THE EXTERNAL DINARIDES (CROATIA AND BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA)

description: Two Lower Triassic sedimentary successions have been dated by means of conodonts in the External Dinarides: Plavno section near Knin, Croatia and Bosansko Grahovo section in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Deposition in both sections shows similar characteristics, differentiated in three continuously deposited facies. The Siliciclastic facies was previously considered Seis beds and assigned to the lower Lower Triassic, the Mudstone facies, and the Siltstone-mudstone facies (occurring in the upper part of the succession) were formerly considered as Campil beds of the upper Lower Triassic. Vertical succession of Siliciclastic, Mudstone, and Siltstone-mudstone facies of both investigated sequences was interpreted as deepening of the environment envisaged as a transgressive trend in a shallow shelf environment. Facies successions at Plavno (690 m thick) and Bosansko Grahovo (229 m thick) differentiate for the presence of Dolostone facies in the lowest part of the Plavno succession. Conodont fauna of Dolostone facies at Plavno section is represented by isarcicellids, Isarcicella staeschei and I. isarcica (sample 3) that marks the Griesbachian isarcica Zone. The Siliciclastic facies of Plavno and Bosansko Grahovo sections is characterized by shallow-water euryhaline taxa attributed to the Smithian, part of the late Dinerian-Smithian obliqua Zone. This fauna is prevailed by Hadrodontina anceps and Pachycladina obliqua with co-occurrence of Smithian Parachirognathus ethingtoni and very rare presence of Foliella sp. or ?Furnishius sp. Discerned conodont taxa enable us to establish conodont zonation which gives new insight to the range of the so-called Siusi and Campil beds.

description: Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars preserve a fossil record of the composition of the ISM when the Galaxy formed. It is crucial, however, to verify whether internal mixing has modified their surface. We aim to understand the CNO abundance variations found in some, but not all EMP field giants analysed earlier. Mixing beyond the first dredge-up of standard models is required, and its origin needs clarification.The 12C/13C ratio is the most robust diagnostic of deep mixing, because it is insensitive to the adopted stellar parameters and should be uniformly high in near-primordial gas. We have measured 12C and 13C abundances in 35 EMP giants from high-quality VLT/UVES spectra. Correlations with other abundance data are used to study the depth of mixing.The 12C/13C ratio is found to correlate with [C/Fe] (and Li/H), and clearly anti-correlate with [N/Fe]. Evidence for such deep mixing is observed in giants above log L/Lsolar = 2.6, brighter than in less metal-poor stars, but matching the bump in the luminosity function in both cases. Three of the mixed stars are also Na-and Al-rich, another signature of deep mixing, but signatures of the ON cycle are not clearly seen in these stars. Extra mixing processes clearly occur in luminous RGB stars. The Na-and Al-rich giants could be AGB stars themselves, but an inhomogeneous early ISM or pollution from a binary companion remain possible alternatives (abridged).

description: I'll show that the kind of analogy between life and information [argue for by authors such as Davies (2000), Walker and Davies (2013), Dyson (1979), Gleick (2011), Kurzweil (2012), Ward (2009)], that seems to be central to the effect that artificial mind may represents an expected advance in the life evolution in Universe, is like the design argument and that if the design argument is unfounded and invalid, the argument to the effect that artificial mind may represents an expected advance in the life evolution in Universe is also unfounded and invalid. However, if we are prepared to admit (though we should not do) this method of reasoning as valid, I'll show that the analogy between life and information to the effect that artificial mind may represents an expected advance in the life evolution in Universe seems suggest some type of reductionism of life to information, but biology respectively chemistry or physics are not reductionist, contrary to what seems to be suggested by the analogy between life and information.

Torsional fluctuations in columnar DNA assemblies

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Biological Physics (physics.bio-ph)

description: In columnar assemblies of helical bio-molecules the azimuthal degrees of freedom, i.e. rotations about the long axes of molecules, may be important in determining the structure of the assemblies especially when the interaction energy between neighbouring molecules explicitly depends on their relative azimuthal orientations. For DNA this leads to a rich variety of mesophases for columnar assemblies, each categorized by a specific azimuthal ordering. In a preceding paper [A. Wynveen, D. J. Lee, and A. A. Kornyshev, Eur. Phys. J. E, 16, 303 (2005)] a statistical mechanical theory was developed for the assemblies of torsionally rigid molecues in order to determine how thermal fluctuations influence the structure of these mesophases. Here we extend this theory by including torsional fluctuations of the molecules, where a DNA molecule may twist about its long axis at the cost of torsional elastic energy. Comparing this with the previous study, we find that inclusion of torsional fluctuations further increases the density at which the transition between the hexagonal structure and the predicted rhombic phase occurs and reduces the level of distortion in the rhombic phase. As X-ray diffraction may probe the 2-D lattice structure of such assemblies and provide information concerning the underlying interaction between molecules, we have also calculated correlation functions for the azimuthal ordering which are manifest in an x-ray scattering intensity profiles.

A $T\bar T$-like deformation of the Skyrme model and the Heisenberg model of nucleon-nucleon scattering

description: The Skyrme model, though it admits correctly a wide range of static properties of the nucleon, does not seem to reproduce properly the scattering behavior of nucleons at high energies. In this paper we present a $T\bar T$-like deformation of it, inspired by a 1+1 dimensional model, in which boosted nucleons behave like shock waves. The scattering of the latter saturates the Froissart bound. We start by showing that 1+1 dimensional $T\bar T$ deformations of the free abelian pion action are in fact generalizations of the old Heisenberg model for nucleon-nucleon scattering, yielding the same saturation of the Froissart bound. We then deform the strong coupling limit of the bosonized action of multi-flavor QCD in two dimensions using the $T\bar T$ deformation of the WZW action with a mass term. We derive the classical soliton solution that corresponds to the nucleon, determine its mass and discuss its transformation into a shock-wave upon boosting. We uplift this action into a 3+1 dimensional $T\bar T$-like deformation of the Skyrme action. We compare this deformed action to that of chiral perturbation theory. A possible holographic gravity dual interpretation is explored.

description: We analyze images of a rock on Ryugu acquired in situ by MASCam, camera of the MASCOT lander, with the aim of identifying possible carbonaceous chondrite (CC) analogs. The rock's reflectance ($r_{\rm F} = 0.034 \pm 0.003$ at phase angle $4.5^\circ \pm 0.1^\circ$) is consistent with Ryugu's average reflectance, suggesting that the rock is typical for this asteroid. A spectrophotometric analysis of the rock's inclusions provides clues to CC group membership. Inclusions are generally brighter than the matrix. The dominant variation in their color is a change of the visible spectral slope, with many inclusions being either red or blue. Spectral variation in the red channel hints at the presence of the 0.7~$μ$m absorption band linked to hydrated phyllosilicates. The inclusions are unusually large for a CC; we find that their size distribution may best match that of the Renazzo (CR2) and Leoville (CV3) meteorites. The Ryugu rock does not easily fit into any of the CC groups, consistent with the idea that typical Ryugu-type meteorites are too fragile to survive atmospheric entry.

description: The interplay of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions is studied analytically in the Kondo regime. A Holstein electron-phonon coupling is shown to produce a weakening of the gate voltage dependence of the Kondo temperature and may explain the observed anomalies in some of these devices. A molecular center-of-mass mode opens a new channel for charge and spin fluctuations and in the antiadabatic limit the latter are described by an asymmetric two-channel Kondo model. Below the Kondo temperature the system develops a dynamical Jahn-Teller distortion and a low energy peak emerges in the phonon spectral density that could be observed in Raman microscopy experiments.

description: Although pterosaurs from Africa are still rare, in recent years several specimens have been described from the Kem Kem beds (Upper Cretaceous, Cenomanian) of Morocco. Here we describe four additional specimens from this informal lithostratigraphic unit: a jaw fragment, two mid-cervical vertebrae, and a humerus. All these specimens show three-dimensional preservation, differing much from the flat condition found in most pterosaur material. The vertebrae are particularly well preserved, and allow accurate observations on the pneumatization of the neural arch. Based on comparable material, we show that at least two edentulous pterosaur species were present in this informal lithostratigraphic unit, thus adding to the growing evidence of considerable pterosaur diversity in northwestern Africa during the "middle" Cretaceous. So far, the Kem Kem beds have the most diverse pterosaur fauna in this continent, with the presence of anhanguerids, azhdarchids, pteranodontids, and tapejarids.

description: The approach to equilibrium of quantum mechanical systems is a topic as old as quantum mechanics itself, but has recently seen a surge of interest due to applications in quantum technologies, including, but not limited to, quantum computation and sensing. The mechanisms by which a quantum system approaches its long-time, limiting stationary state are fascinating and, sometimes, quite different from their classical counterparts. In this respect, quantum networks represent a mesoscopic quantum systems of interest. In such a case, the graph encodes the elementary quantum systems (say qubits) at its vertices, while the links define the interactions between them. We study here the relaxation to equilibrium for a fully connected quantum network with CNOT gates representing the interaction between the constituting qubits. We give a number of results for the equilibration in these systems, including analytic estimates. The results are checked using numerical methods for systems with up to 15-16 qubits. It is emphasized in which way the size of the network controls the convergency.

В статье показана значимость этих текстов для понимания своеобразия творчества писателя. Дом и дорога предстают как особые пространства, связанные не столько с реальной переменой места жительства, сколько с жизненным странствием героя. Юный врач должен пройти жизненные испытания. Герой преодолевает «могильную тьму» дороги и попадает на «необитаемый остров», каким поначалу ему кажется Мурьево. Но это будет одна из ступеней, помогающих осмыслению собственного предназначения на пути формирования личности и профессионала.
MORPHOLOGIC VARIATIONS OF THE TRACE FOSSIL RUTICHNUS IN CM-THICK TURBIDITES FROM THE VERGHERETO FORMATION (NORTHERN APENNINES, ITALY)

description: The analysis of 56 specimens of the branched, walled post-depositional trace fossil Rutichnus, sampled from 31 thin-bedded, overbank turbidites from the Verghereto Formation, Romagna Apennines, indicates high morphologic variability of this ichnotaxon in hypichnial preservation. The variability concerns the arrangement of outer and inner walls, number and shape of annulations, distribution of pustules, the (false) branching arrangement and the general external shape. Highest variability has been observed mainly in the Rutichnus rutis ichnospecies, clearly less in the R. irregularis ichnospecies that is rare. The Dino-Lite microscope camera analysis of oriented thin sections indicates that endichnial preservation exhibits many structures due to burrowing in soft substrate, destroying  laminae of sand. Consequently Rutichnus probably was produced by a worm or arthropod, inducing strong deformation in turbidite sand during the feeding activity on phytodetritus and organic matter transported by the turbidity flow.

description: A single dynamical system with time-delayed feedback can emulate networks. This property of delay systems made them extremely useful tools for Machine Learning applications. Here we describe several possible setups, which allow emulating multilayer (deep) feed-forward networks as well as recurrent networks of coupled discrete maps with arbitrary adjacency matrix by a single system with delayed feedback. While the network's size can be arbitrary, the generating delay system can have a low number of variables, including a scalar case.

description: We have explored the unknown structure of the phosphorus in the phase IV (P-IV phase) based on the first-principles calculations using the metadynamics simulation method. Starting from the simple cubic structure, we found a new modulated structure of a monoclinic lattice. The modulation is crucial to the stability of the structure. Refining further the structure by changing the modulation period, we have found the structure which shows the X-ray powder pattern in the best agreement with the experimental one.We can not exclude the possibility that the unknown structure of the phase IV of phosphorus is an incommensurately modulated one.

description: We exploit a complete sample of 101\,810 {\it Gaia} DR2 giants, selected in Paper I in the space cylinder with a radius of 700 pc around the Sun and a height of $|Z|=1800$ pc, using the {\it Gaia} DR2 parallaxes, $G_\mathrm{BP}$ and $G_\mathrm{RP}$ photometry, and {\it WISE} $W3$ photometry. We explain the spatial variations of the modes of the observables $G_\mathrm{BP}-G_\mathrm{RP}$ and $G_\mathrm{RP}-W3$ by the spatial variations of the corresponding reddenings described in the GM20 3D dust distribution model. Presented in this paper, GM20 is an advanced version of the model introduced by Gontcharov in 2009. GM20 proposes two intersecting dust layers, along the Galactic mid-plane and in the Gould Belt, with exponential vertical and sinusoidal longitudinal variations of the dust spatial density in each layer. The Belt layer is an ellipse, oriented nearly between the centre and anticentre of the Galaxy, and with a semi-major and semi-minor axes of 600 and 146~pc, respectively. $G_\mathrm{BP}-G_\mathrm{RP}$ and $G_\mathrm{RP}-W3$ give similar solutions, but different equatorial layer scale heights of $150\pm15$ and $180\pm15$~pc, respectively, and $(G_\mathrm{BP}-G_\mathrm{RP})_0=(1.14\pm0.01)-(0.022\pm0.010)\,|Z|$, $(G_\mathrm{RP}-W3)_0=(1.44\pm0.01)-(0.015\pm0.010)\,|Z|$, where $Z$ is in kpc. We compare GM20 with several 3D reddening models and maps in their ability to predict the observed colour modes. GM20 and the 3D map by Gontcharov appear to be the best among the models and maps, respectively. However, the most reliable models and maps mainly disagree only in their estimates of low reddening, including the reddening across the whole dust layer.

description: We analyze the effects of finite chemical potential on spontaneous breaking of internal symmetries within the class of relativistic field theories described by the linear sigma model. Special attention is paid to the emergence of ``abnormal'' Goldstone bosons with quadratic dispersion relation. We show that their presence is tightly connected to nonzero density of the Noether charges, and formulate a general counting rule. The general results are demonstrated on an SU(3)xU(1) invariant model with an SU(3)-sextet scalar field, which describes one of the color-superconducting phases of QCD.

STEPHANORHINUS ETRUSCUS (FALCONER, 1868) FROM PIRRO NORD (APRICENA, FOGGIA, SOUTHERN ITALY) WITH NOTES ON THE OTHER LATE EARLY PLEISTOCENE RHINOCEROS REMAINS OF ITALY

description: During the late Early Pleistocene (latest Villafranchian-earliest Galerian), a marked faunal turnover occurred in Italy, with a progressive disappearance of Villafranchian species and the gradual arrival of new species that later characterized the Middle Pleistocene. Two rhinoceros species are reported during this time: Stephanorhinus etruscus and S. hundsheimensis. The morphological and morphometrical analysis of the rhinoceros remains unearthed in the quarries of Pirro Nord (Pirro Faunal Unit, about 1.3-1.6 My) show a great affinity with S. etruscus, in particular with its second evolutionary stage. This stage is characterized by a general variation in body size and proportions. Other rhinoceros remains, found in Italian sites chronologically correlated with Pirro Faunal Unit (FU), are also ascribed to the second evolutionary stage of S. etruscus. In addition, in Italy, the presence of S. hundsheimensis is unknown before the Colle Curti FU (about 1 My). This is likely related to the scarcity of sites chronologically referable to the Early-Middle Pleistocene transition or to a delay in the dispersal event of this species in Italy. Furthermore, the occurrence of S. hundsheimensis in Europe and in Italy may be related to the climatic deterioration of the latest Early Pleistocene, as may be the variation in proportions and size of S. etruscus.

description: A laboratory culture experiment has been conducted to assess the response of marginal marine benthic foraminifer Rosalina leei to salinity and associated pH changes. Live specimens of Rosalina leei were subjected to a range (10-35 psu) of salinity. It was observed that hyposaline condition leads to dissolution of the calcareous tests. However, if the hyposaline condition persists only for a short period, then even after considerable dissolution, specimens were able to regenerate the dissolved part of the test. Additionally, in all the specimens subjected to lower than normal salinity, the regenerated chambers were abnormal. The abnormalities included smaller or larger chambers and addition of new chambers in planes different than the normal plane of the tests. The regenerated specimens, however, attained a final size almost equal to that of control specimens that were not subjected to hyposaline conditions. The differential response of R. leei was attributed to decreased seawater pH under hyposaline condition. The findings can help understand the increased abundance of abnormal specimens under ecologically stressed environments.

description: Crowdsourcing plays an essential role in the Internet of Things (IoT) for data collection, where a group of workers is equipped with Internet-connected geolocated devices to collect sensor data for marketing or research purpose. In this paper, we consider crowdsourcing these worker's hot travel path. Each worker is required to report his real-time location information, which is sensitive and has to be protected. Encryption-based methods are the most direct way to protect the location, but not suitable for resource-limited devices. Besides, local differential privacy is a strong privacy concept and has been deployed in many software systems. However, the local differential privacy technology needs a large number of participants to ensure the accuracy of the estimation, which is not always the case for crowdsourcing. To solve this problem, we proposed a trie-based iterative statistic method, which combines additive secret sharing and local differential privacy technologies. The proposed method has excellent performance even with a limited number of participants without the need of complex computation. Specifically, the proposed method contains three main components: iterative statistics, adaptive sampling, and secure reporting. We theoretically analyze the effectiveness of the proposed method and perform extensive experiments to show that the proposed method not only provides a strict privacy guarantee, but also significantly improves the performance from the previous existing solutions.

description: The study of the conodont fauna from the Upper Devonian Shams Abad section provides new data on the stratigraphy of the Bahram Formation in the Kerman province, in southeastern Iran. The fauna includes twenty-four species, mainly belonging to genera Polygnathus and Icriodus, and gives evidence of a late Frasnian to middle Famennian age, in contrast to previous interpretation of the same unit. The shallow water conodont biofacies confirms an inner shelf to foreshore shallow marine depositional environment.

description: Schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSD) and Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders that share clinical, cognitive, and genetic characteristics, as well as particular white matter (WM) abnormalities. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of a set of oligodendrocyte/myelin-related (OMR) genes and their epistatic effect on the risk for SSD and ASD. We examined 108 SNPs in a set of 22 OMR genes in 1749 subjects divided into three independent samples (187 SSD trios, 915 SSD cases/control, and 91 ASD trios). Genetic association and gene-gene interaction analyses were conducted with PLINK and MB-MDR, and permutation procedures were implemented in both. Some OMR genes showed an association trend with SSD, while after correction, the ones that remained significantly associated were MBP, ERBB3, and AKT1. Significant gene-gene interactions were found between (i) NRG1*MBP (perm p-value = 0.002) in the SSD trios sample, (ii) ERBB3*AKT1 (perm p-value = 0.001) in the SSD case-control sample, and (iii) ERBB3*QKI (perm p-value = 0.0006) in the ASD trios sample. Our results suggest the implication of OMR genes in the risk for both SSD and ASD and highlight the role of NRG1 and ERBB genes. These findings are in line with the previous evidence and may suggest pathophysiological mechanisms related to NRG1/ERBBs signalling in these disorders.

description: Материалом статьи стал личный архив казанского литературоведа Е.Г.Бушканца, в котором хранятся до сих пор неопубликованные письма известных литературоведов страны второй половины ХХ века. Эти материалы позволяют поставить важные вопросы истории литературоведения, связанные, в том числе, с анализом типа личности провинциального литературоведа. Безусловно, тип личности определял специфику интерпретации литературы, выбор «героев» исследований, методологии и пр. Но главное, тип личности определял характер культурной среды провинциального города, на формирование которого литературоведы оказывали большое влияние, что влияло на статус литературоведа в провинциальном городе. Этот тип личности может быть определен как «культурный подвижник», он прочно связан с традициями российской интеллигенции XIX века. К такому типу личности принадлежал и В.В.Мусатов.

description: A quantitative understanding of isospin violation is an increasingly important ingredient for the extraction of the nucleon's strange vector form factors from experimental data. We calculate the isospin violating electric and magnetic form factors in chiral perturbation theory to leading and next-to-leading order respectively, and we extract the low-energy constants from resonance saturation. Uncertainties are dominated largely by limitations in the current knowledge of some vector meson couplings. The resulting bounds on isospin violation are sufficiently precise to be of value to on-going experimental studies of the strange form factors.
