description: This paper explores the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as an element in a corporation’s political action repertoire. Previous research has studied lobbying and CSR as a distinct means by which corporations seek to manage their non-market environment. Analyzing CSR as a political activity, we argue that corporations engage in CSR for the same reasons that prompt them to engage in lobbying. More specifically, we expect corporations to adopt CSR frameworks that are suitable to enhance their reputation in a given political arena. To evaluate this argument, we analyze the lobbying and CSR behavior in the EU and USA of over 2000 corporations from around the world. Our results show that lobbying and adopting CSR frameworks can be predicted by similar empirical models. Moreover, controlling for common predictors and endogeneity, lobbying in the EU is associated with an increased likelihood of a corporation adopting an appropriate CSR framework. However, corporations that lobby in Washington DC become less likely to engage in CSR the more they spend on lobbying. These findings shed new light on the relationship between lobbying and CSR while highlighting important differences in corporate non-market behavior across political arenas.

description: We utilize machine learning to study the string landscape. Deep data dives and conjecture generation are proposed as useful frameworks for utilizing machine learning in the landscape, and examples of each are presented. A decision tree accurately predicts the number of weak Fano toric threefolds arising from reflexive polytopes, each of which determines a smooth F-theory compactification, and linear regression generates a previously proven conjecture for the gauge group rank in an ensemble of $\frac43 \times 2.96 \times 10^{755}$ F-theory compactifications. Logistic regression generates a new conjecture for when $E_6$ arises in the large ensemble of F-theory compactifications, which is then rigorously proven. This result may be relevant for the appearance of visible sectors in the ensemble. Through conjecture generation, machine learning is useful not only for numerics, but also for rigorous results.

description: Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the important Plant growth regulators plays major role in the regulation of drought stress in plants. Transcriptional factors associated with ABA – responsive regulation of genes optimized growth and development of plants under drought stress. In addition to drought regulation in plants, several drought responsive genes have been identified are associated with ABA-dependent pathway, whereas in ABA-independent pathways dehydration-responsive element binding protein (DREB), NAM, ATAF, and CUC regulons play an important role in the regulation of many droughts’ responsive genes in the plants. In this literature, we focused on the various drought regulation strategies in plants by transcriptional factor (TF) families including abscisic acid-responsive elements and dehydration-responsive elements associated with ABA-pathway in plants.

description: This research uses projected changes in future precipitation to calculate the changes in the magnitude, frequency, and timing of streamflow, particularly peak annual flows, in the U.S. Northeast through 20 representative watersheds. Temperature and precipitation data on a 3-hourly time step from five climate projection from the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) are downscaled and bias- corrected using the Spatial Downscaling and Bias Correction (SDBC) method. These data are used to force a regional hydrological model (WRF-Hydro) to estimate daily future streamflow. The changes in magnitude at various return intervals of peak flow events are determined through the comparison between peak annual flow values during the historical period (1968-1999) and during the future period (2038-2070). The frequencies of high daily streamflow in each month are evaluated using a peak-over-threshold (POT) analysis of both high precipitation days and high streamflow days to understand the correlation (if any) between the two in this particular region. The results indicate an overall average increase of 10%, 15%, and 18 % in the 2-year, 50-year, and 100-year return interval magnitude of peak floods in the U.S. Northeast region, respectively. The POT analysis reveals increases in the number of extreme precipitation days during the winter months (DJF) which is expected to result in higher peaks in streamflow. This correlation is less apparent during the summer (JJA) months, suggesting a significant role of soil moisture and snowpack. The degree of climate change impacts vary by season, lending to differing flow regimes. Shifts in the seasonality of future peak flow events are observed in the results and further explain the changes in flood magnitudes and frequencies. They suggest similar trends in the inundation processes that directly influence soil moisture; consequently exacerbating flood and drought events that require new adaptation and mitigation strategies in the region.

description: Through Haldane's construction, the fractional quantum Hall states on a two-sphere was shown to be the ground states of {\it one-dimensional} SU(2) spin Hamiltonians. In this Letter we generalize this construction to obtain a new class of SU(N) spin Hamiltonians. These Hamiltonians describes center-of-mass-position conserving pair hopping fermions in space dimension $d\ge 2$. We conjecture that the excitations of these models posses fractional fermion number.

description: Short- to mid-term magnetic phenomena on the stellar surface of M-type stars cannot only resemble the effects of planets in radial velocity data, but also may hide them. We analyze 145 spectroscopic HARPS-N observations of GJ 3942 taken over the past five years and additional photometry to disentangle stellar activity effects from genuine Doppler signals as a result of the orbital motion of the star around the common barycenter with its planet. To achieve this, we use the common methods of pre-whitening, and treat the correlated red noise by a first-order moving average term and by Gaussian-process regression following an MCMC analysis. We identify the rotational period of the star at 16.3 days and discover a new super-Earth, GJ 3942 b, with an orbital period of 6.9 days and a minimum mass of 7.1 Me. An additional signal in the periodogram of the residuals is present but we cannot claim it to be related to a second planet with sufficient significance at this point. If confirmed, such planet candidate would have a minimum mass of 6.3 Me and a period of 10.4 days, which might indicate a 3:2 mean-motion resonance with the inner planet.

The Formation of Broad Line Clouds in the Accretion Shocks of Active Galactic Nuclei

description: Recent work on the gas dynamics in the Galactic Center has improved our understanding of the accretion processes in galactic nuclei, particularly with regard to properties such as the specific angular momentum distribution, density, and temperature of the inflowing plasma. This information can be valuable in trying to determine the origin of the Broad Line Region (BLR) in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). In this paper, we explore various scenarios for the cloud formation based on the underlying principle that the source of plasma is ultimately that portion of the gas trapped by the central black hole from the interstellar medium. Based on what we know about the Galactic Center, it is likely that in highly dynamic environments such as this, the supply of matter is due mostly to stellar winds from the central cluster. Winds accreting onto a central black hole are subjected to several disturbances capable of producing shocks, including a Bondi-Hoyle flow, stellar wind-wind collisions, and turbulence. Shocked gas is initially compressed and heated out of thermal equilibrium with the ambient radiation field; a cooling instability sets in as the gas is cooled via inverse-Compton and bremsstrahlung processes. If the cooling time is less than the dynamical flow time through the shock region, the gas may clump to form the clouds responsible for broad line emission seen in many AGN spectra. Clouds produced by this process display the correct range of densities and velocity fields seen in broad emission lines. Very importantly, the cloud distribution agrees with the results of reverberation studies, in which it is seen that the central line peak responds slower to continuum changes than the line wings.

title: Eccentric muscle contractions : from single muscle fibre to whole muscle mechanics
Creators: name: Tomalka, André
Publisher: name: Universität Stuttgart
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 570

description: Eccentric muscle loading encompasses several unique features compared to other types of contractions. These features include increased force, work, and performance at decreased oxygen consumption, reduced metabolic cost, improved energy efficiency, as well as decreased muscle activity. This review summarises explanatory approaches to long-standing questions in terms of muscular contraction dynamics and molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying eccentric muscle loading. Moreover, this article intends to underscore the functional link between sarcomeric components, emphasising the fundamental role of titin in skeletal muscle. The giant filament titin reveals versatile functions ranging from sarcomere organisation and maintenance, providing passive tension and elasticity, and operates as a mechanosensory and signalling platform. Structurally, titin consists of a viscoelastic spring segment that allows activation-dependent coupling to actin. This titin-actin interaction can explain linear force increases in active lengthening experiments in biological systems. A three-filament model of skeletal muscle force production (mediated by titin) is supposed to overcome significant deviations between experimental observations and predictions by the classic sliding-filament and cross-bridge theories. Taken together, this review intends to contribute to a more detailed understanding of overall muscle behaviour and force generation - from a microscopic sarcomere level to a macroscopic multi-joint muscle level - impacting muscle modelling, the understanding of muscle function, and disease.

The spin correlations show that the kagomé ice behavior predicted for the nearest-neighbor (NN) interacting model, where the field induces dimensional reduction and spins are frustrated in each two-dimensional kagomé lattice, occurs in the dipole interacting system. The spins freeze at low temperatures within the macroscopically degenerate ground states of the NN model.

description: Today commercial milk replacers are an essential component for the successful rearing of dairy calves. There will also be an increased need for milk replacers in the beef industry as reproductive biologists transform the role of the beef cow to a factory assembly line for calves thus increasing the number of "orphan" calves. As the number of herd health type practices and demand for professional consultation concerning total health needs grow, there is an increasing need for the bovine practitioner to be knowledgeable in this area. In the following discussion we will outline the major components which should be found in milk replacers and how to feed them.

Second, we extend the connections between heat exchange and Rényi divergences to quantum systems with very general initial conditions.These relations are applicable for quantum systems with conserved quantities and are universally valid for quantum systems in the integrable and chaotic regimes.

Herds of group (ii) averaged 14 657 lb milk/cow, 404-day calving interval and 11.3% calf losses, and $20.29/cow was spent on veterinary services; correspondingly, herds of group (i) averaged 13 373 lb milk/cow, 400-day calving interval, 16.7% calf losses and spent $12.70/cow on veterinary services. Except for calving intervals, differences between the groups were significant (P < 0.05). Veterinary services and herd management are important input factors for economically successful milk production units.

description: Far ultraviolet FUV imagery of the edge-on, Sc/SBd galaxy, NGC 4631 reveals very strong FUV emission, resulting from active star formation, uniformly distributed along the galactic mid- plane. Multi-band imagery, HI and HII position-velocity curves and extinction considerations all imply that the emission is from the outer edges of the visible galaxy. The overall FUV morphology of this edge-on disk system is remarkably similar to those of the so-called "chain galaxies" evident at high redshift, thus suggesting a similar interpretation for at least some of those distant objects. FUV, U, B and V magnitudes, measured for 48 star forming regions, along with corresponding H-alpha and H-beta measurements are used to construct diagnostic color-color diagrams. Although there are significant exceptions, most of the star forming regions are less massive and older than 30 Doradus. Comparison with the expectations from two star formation models yields ages of 2.7 to 10 Myr for the instantaneous burst (IB) model and star formation cut-off ages of 0 to 9 Myr for the continuous star formation (CSF) model. Interpreted in terms of the IB model the photometry implies a total created mass in the 48 star forming regions of 25 million solar-masses. When viewed as resulting from constant star formation the photometry implies a star formation rate of 0.33 solar-masses/yr. These results are compared to those derived from FIR and radio observations. Corrections for FUV emission reprocessed by interstellar grains are estimated.

description: Beam hardening (BH) is one of the major artifacts that severely reduces the quality of computed tomography (CT) imaging. This BH artifact arises due to the polychromatic nature of the X-ray source and causes cupping and streak artifacts. This work aims to propose a fast and accurate BH correction method that requires no prior knowledge of the materials and corrects first and higher-order BH artifacts. This is achieved by performing a wide sweep of the material based on an experimentally measured look-up table to obtain the closest estimate of the material. Then, the non-linearity effect of the BH is corrected by adding the difference between the estimated monochromatic and the polychromatic simulated projections of the segmented image. The estimated polychromatic projection is accurately derived using the least square estimation (LSE) method by minimizing the difference between the experimental projection and the linear combination of simulated polychromatic projections. As a result, an accurate non-linearity correction term is derived that leads to an accurate BH correction result. The simulated projections in this work are performed using a multi-GPU-accelerated forward projection model which ensures a fast BH correction in near real-time. To evaluate the proposed BH correction method, we have conducted extensive experiments on real-world CT data. It is shown that the proposed method results in images with improved contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in comparison to the images corrected from only the scatter artifacts and the BH-corrected images using the state-of-the-art empirical BH correction method.

description: We theoretically study scattering process and superconducting triplet correlations in a graphene junction comprised of ferromagnet-RSO-superconductor in which RSO stands for a region with Rashba spin orbit interaction. Our results reveal spin-polarized subgap transport through the system due to an anomalous equal-spin Andreev reflection in addition to conventional back scatterings. We calculate equal- and opposite-spin pair correlations near the F-RSO interface and demonstrate direct link of the anomalous Andreev reflection and equal-spin pairings arised due to the proximity effect in the presence of RSO interaction. Moreover, we show that the amplitude of anomalous Andreev reflection, and thus the triplet pairings, are experimentally controllable when incorporating the influences of both tunable strain and Fermi level in the nonsuperconducting region. Our findings can be confirmed by a conductance spectroscopy experiment and provide better insights into the proximity-induced RSO coupling in graphene layers reported in recent experiments.

Cooperation prevents the transition from free flow to synchronous flow that occurs for normal merging, provided the merge region is sufficiently large and the total incoming flow does not exceed the maximum possible single-lane flow. No long-range vehicle-to-vehicle communication is required for the type of cooperation considered.

Mycotoxicoses of Importance to the Bovine Practitioner
Creators: name: Cardeilhac, Paul T.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1969

description: Diseases of cattle caused by molds and fungi have a long history in veterinary medicine. Many diseases result from the growth of molds in the animal, and they are called mycoses. These have been roughly divided into Derma- tomycoses such as Trichophytosis of cattle, and deep (systemic) mycoses such as actinomycosis. Increased interest and training in medical mycology have yielded great advances in this area of disease. The conditions are frequently complications of the use of antibiotics. The most fascinating aspect of mycology to the toxicologist is the field of mycotoxicosis. This is the study of the myco- toxins produced during various phases of mold growth whether it occurs within the animal or on feed which will be consumed by the animal.

Influence of temperature gradients on tunnel junction thermometry below 1 K: cooling and electron-phonon coupling

description: We have studied thermal gradients in thin Cu and AlMn wires, both experimentally and theoretically. In the experiments, the wires were Joule heated non-uniformly at sub-Kelvin temperatures, and the resulting temperature gradients were measured using normal metal-insulator-superconducting tunnel junctions. The data clearly shows that even in reasonably well conducting thin wires with a short ($\sim 10 μ$m) non-heated portion, significant temperature differences can form. In most cases, the measurements agree well with a model which includes electron-phonon interaction and electronic thermal conductivity by the Wiedemann-Franz law.

Year: 1993

description: We show that macroscopic heterotic strings, formulated as strings which wind around a compact direction of finite but macroscopic extent, exhibit non-trivial scattering at low energies. This occurs at order velocity squared and may thus be described as geodesic motion on a moduli space with a non-trivial metric which we construct. Our result is in agreement with a direct calculation of the string scattering amplitude.

The Management of beef breeding programs
Creators: name: Wiltbank, J. N.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1970

description: In addition to characteristic "thrombo," Haemophilus somnus infection may result in acute respiratory disease or chronic stiffness of feedlot cattle. Unless the bovine practitioner performs very complete post mortem examinations, he may entirely miss the lesions of this disease, or mistake them for those of shipping fever or clostridial infection. Clinical signs and lesions characteristic of field cases may be experimentally reproduced in susceptible calves by either intravenous or intra tracheal innoculation with pure Haemophilus somnus cultures. Complement fixation tests confirm the widespread incidence of this infection. Development of immunizing agents for use in feedlot cattle may be warranted.

Long- and Mid-Term Variations of the Soft X-ray Flare Type in Solar Cycles
Creators: name: Chertok, I. M.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using data from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) spacecraft in the 1-8 Å wavelength range for Solar Cycles 23, 24, and part of Cycles 21 and 22, we compare mean temporal parameters (rising, decay times, duration) and the proportion of impulsive short-duration events (SDE) and gradual long-duration events (LDE) among C- and $\geq$M1.0-class flares. It is found that the fraction of the SDE $\geq$M1.0-class flares (including spikes) in Cycle 24 exceeds that in Cycle 23 in all three temporal parameters at the maximum phase and in the decay time during the ascending cycle phase. However, Cycles 23 and 24 barely differ in the fraction of the SDE C-class flares. The temporal parameters of SDEs, their fraction, and consequently the relationship between the SDE and LDE flares do not remain constant, but they reveal regular changes within individual cycles and during the transition from one cycle to another. In all phases of all four cycles, these changes have the character of pronounced, large-amplitude "quasi-biennial" oscillations (QBOs). In different cycles and at the separate phases of individual cycles, such QBOs are superimposed on various systematic trends displayed by the analyzed temporal flare parameters. In Cycle 24, the fraction of the SDE $\geq$M1.0-class flares from the N- and S-hemispheres displays the most pronounced synchronous QBOs. The QBO amplitude and general variability of the intense $\geq$M1.0-class flares almost always markedly exceeds those of the moderate C-class flares. The ordered quantitative and qualitative variations of the flare type revealed in the course of the solar cycles are discussed within the framework of the concept that the SDE flares are associated mainly with small sunspots (including those in developed active regions) and that small and large sunspots behave differently during cycles and form two distinct populations.

Constrained Superconducting Membranes
Creators: name: Cordero, Ruben

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a geometrical canonical description for superconducting membranes. We consider a general action which includes a general class of superconducting extended objects (strings and domain walls). The description is inspired in the ADM framework of general relativity but, instead of the standard canonical variables a different kind of phase space is considered. The Poisson algebra of the constraints and the counting of degrees of freedom is performed. The new description is illustrated considering a superconducting domain wall on a curved background spacetime.
