description: The IRAS source 03256+3055 in the NGC 1333 star forming region is associated with extended sub-millimeter emission of complex morphology, showing multiple clumps. One of these is found to coincide with the driving source of a bipolar jet of S-shaped morphology seen in the emission lines of H_alpha and [SII] as well as in the H2 emission lines in the K-band. Detailed images of the driving source at the wavelengths of H_alpha and [SII] and in the I, J, H, and K bands as well as a K-band spectrum and polarimetry are discussed. The near-infrared morphology is characterized by a combination of line emission from the jet and scattered light from a source with a steep continuum spectrum. The morphology and proper motion of the jet are discussed in the context of a binary system with a precessing disk. We conclude that the molecular core associated with IRAS 03256+3055 consists of several clumps, only one of which shows evidence of recent star formation at optical and near-infrared wavelengths.We also briefly discuss a second, newly found near-infrared source associated with a compact sub-millimeter continuum source near IRAS 03256+3055, and conclude that this source may be physically unrelated the cluster of molecular clumps.

description: Targeted immunization or attacks of large-scale networks has attracted significant attention by the scientific community. However, in real-world scenarios, knowledge and observations of the network may be limited thereby precluding a full assessment of the optimal nodes to immunize (or remove) in order to avoid epidemic spreading such as that of current COVID-19 epidemic. Here, we study a novel immunization strategy where only $n$ nodes are observed at a time and the most central between these $n$ nodes is immunized (or attacked). This process is continued repeatedly until $1-p$ fraction of nodes are immunized (or attacked). We develop an analytical framework for this approach and determine the critical percolation threshold $p_c$ and the size of the giant component $P_{\infty}$ for networks with arbitrary degree distributions $P(k)$. In the limit of $n\to\infty$ we recover prior work on targeted attack, whereas for $n=1$ we recover the known case of random failure. Between these two extremes, we observe that as $n$ increases, $p_c$ increases quickly towards its optimal value under targeted immunization (attack) with complete information. In particular, we find a new scaling relationship between $|p_c(\infty)-p_c(n)|$ and $n$ as $|p_c(\infty)-p_c(n)|\sim n^{-1}\exp(-αn)$. For Scale-free (SF) networks, where $P(k)\sim k^{-γ}, 2

description: Input subsidies have the potential to increase production, promote more input use, and impact the environment. Unlike many other federal agricultural subsidies, livestock feed programs have not been the subject of previous economic research. During 1992-96, the U.S. Department of Agriculture paid livestock producers an annual average of $73.2 million in feed subsidies. The objective of this research is to estimate the market and welfare effects of feed subsidies in one region of New Mexico. The price and output effects of the subsidy are found to be small, and the welfare impacts of the subsidy unevenly distributed between subsidized and nonsubsidized producers.

description: This analysis empirically evaluates a subset of Japanese agricultural policies during the 1970s and 1980s using the Trade Restrictiveness Index recently developed by Anderson and Neary. This index, though theoretically rigorous, is empirically demanding, resulting in relatively few applications. Inferences obtained from the index are in general accordance with policy changes and economic events over the period of analysis. Using 1970 as the base, the estimated TRI suggests that policy changes during 1970-87 resulted in moderately liberalized trade. Comparison with a conventional measure of trade distortion- producer and consumer subsidy equivalents (PSEs and CSEs)- reveals contrasting inference. This suggests the choice of empirical measures in evaluating trade policies in nontrivial.

description: In the late 1980s, grain-hauling railroads began offering alternatives that have made shipping decisions more strategic. Shippers now confront alternatives ranging from nearby and unguaranteed ordering to various durations of forward and guaranteed shipment. Each has varying penalties for cancellation and payments from the railroad for nonperformance, and differing risks and payoffs. Because of the configuration of choices, shippers confront a portfolio of shipping alternatives. A dynamic stochastic simulation model was developed to analyze alternative strategies. The model includes the effects of uncertainties in tariff rate changes, car premiums, basis levels, forward and spot grain purchases, and receiving railcars under each of three alternatives. Shipping demand is determined by inter-month commodity price differences, carrying costs, transport costs, and storage capacity. Considering these factors, the shipper chooses grain sales and shipping strategies that maximize net payoffs and confronts a tradeoff between expected profits and risk.

description: The economic threshold for thick infestations on Zambian cattle was analyzed considering both direct production losses and mortality from transmitted diseases. Probability theory applied to mortality risks was used to derive the functional form for disease damage. With only noninfectious ticks, the economic threshold based on liveweight gain losses was three ticks per calf. The threshold recommended dipping calves whenever any disease-infectious ticks were present. Similar threshold results held for cows when considering milk production and disease mortality losses. If disease control benefits are omitted, as in some past work, thresholds will be overstated and dipping recommendations understated when infectious ticks are present.

description: We present a sample of twenty-one ROSAT bright active galactic nuclei (AGN), representing a range of spectral classes, and selected for follow-up snap-shot observations with XMM-Newton. The typical exposure was between 5-10 ks. The objects were primarily selected on the bases of X-ray brightness and not on hardness ratio; thus the sample cannot be strictly defined as a `soft' sample. One of the main outcomes from the XMM-Newton observations was that all of the AGN, including eleven type 1.8-2 objects, required low levels of intrinsic absorption (nh < 10^21 cm^-2). The low absorption in type 2 systems is a challenge to account for in the standard orientation-based unification model, and we discuss possible physical and geometrical models which could elucidate the problem. Moreover, there does not appear to be any relation between the strength and shape of the soft excess, and the spectral classification of the AGN in this sample. We further identify a number of AGN which deserve deeper observations or further analysis: for example, the LINERs NGC 5005 and NGC 7331, where optically thin thermal and extended emission is detected, and the narrow-line Seyfert 1 II Zw 177, which shows a broad emission feature at 5.8keV.

Both results fail for arbitrary LCA groups. Further, if $G$ is second countable, then the Gel'fand space of the commutative convolution algebra $\ccg$ equipped with the inductive limit topology is topologically homeomorphic to $\hg$.

description: Increased use of noncash-price procurement methods has concerned cattlemen for the past several years. This research estimated impacts of captive supplies on transaction prices for fed cattle. Negative relationships were found between transaction prices and percentage deliveries from the inventory of forward contracted and marketing agreement cattle. However, impacts from the absolute size of the total captive supply inventory were not significant. Price differences were found among procurement methods with forward contract prices being much lower. On balance, captive supplies had small but often negative effects on fed cattle transaction prices.

description: On top of a neural network-based dependency parser and a graph-based natural language processing module we design a Prolog-based dialog engine that explores interactively a ranked fact database extracted from a text document. We reorganize dependency graphs to focus on the most relevant content elements of a sentence and integrate sentence identifiers as graph nodes. Additionally, after ranking the graph we take advantage of the implicit semantic information that dependency links and WordNet bring in the form of subject-verb-object, is-a and part-of relations. Working on the Prolog facts and their inferred consequences, the dialog engine specializes the text graph with respect to a query and reveals interactively the document's most relevant content elements.

description: Soil phosphorus levels have increased as pork production has become concentrated. Phosphorus-based manure management regulations for land application have been proposed by policy makers. The objective of this study is to determine benefits/costs of adopting two alternatives for reducing phosphorus: synthetic amino acids or phytase. An optimization model is constructed to determine optimal excreted nitrogen and phosphorus from alternative feed ingredients. Results are derived using different manure storage and application systems. While the two alternatives are not least-cost ingredients, they become profitable when producers are constrained by land. An important result is that the net cost of manure is negative.

description: We derive a model describing spatio-temporal organization of an array of microtubules interacting via molecular motors. Starting from a stochastic model of inelastic polar rods with a generic anisotropic interaction kernel we obtain a set of equations for the local rods concentration and orientation. At large enough mean density of rods and concentration of motors, the model describes orientational instability. We demonstrate that the orientational instability leads to the formation of vortices and (for large density and/or kernel anisotropy) asters seen in recent experiments.

Witches Can’t Be Burned is a practice-based research project initiated by Silva Semerciyan, Drama Lecturer at Bath Spa University, wherein the creation of a playscript became both an instrument and a process for challenging institutional sexism. The play investigated Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and the historical case of the Salem Witch trials through the lens of feminist critical theory to create a diverse narrative, which opened up dialogue about the representation of girls and women in so called ‘masterpieces’. It was commissioned by the National Theatre as part of their Connections Festival 2020 in which 19 youth theatre companies across the UK would perform the play.

We study the real-time evolution of instabilities in an anisotropic non-Abelian plasma with an SU(2) gauge group in the hard-loop approximation. We find exponential growth of non-Abelian plasma instabilities both in the linear and in the strongly nonlinear regime, with only a brief phase of subexponential behavior in between.

description: We investigate QCD effects in the production of a single slepton at hadron colliders in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model without R-parity. We calculate the total cross sections and the transverse momentum distributions at next-to-leading order in QCD. The NLO corrections enhance the total cross sections and decrease the dependence of the total cross sections on the factorization and renormalization scales. For the differential cross sections, we resum all order soft gluon effects to give reliable predictions for the transverse momentum distributions. We also compare two approaches to the non-perturbative parametrization and found that the results are slightly different at the Tevatron and are in good agreement at the LHC. Our results can be useful to the simulation of the events and to the future collider experiments.

description: The recent paper by Chiara et al. provided the first experimental evidence of nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC), responding a long-standing theoretical prediction. NEEC was inferred to be the main channel to excite an isomer in Molybdenum-93 to a higher state, leading to a rapid release of full isomer energy (isomer depletion). The deduced large excitation probability $P_{exc}$=0.010(3) for this mechanism implied strong influence on the survival of nuclei in stellar environments. However, the excitation probability is much higher than the estimated NEEC probability $P_{NEEC}$ according to a following theoretical work by approximately 9 orders of magnitude. Nevertheless, the reported $P_{exc}$ is predicted to be due to other unknown mechanism causing isomer depletion, which is expected to open up a new era of the storage and release of nuclear energy. Here we report an analysis of the reported experimental results, showing that the observed isomer depletion is significantly overestimated due to the contamination.

description: Let $M$ be the moduli space of generalized parabolic bundles (GPBs) of rank $r$ and degree $d$ on a smooth curve $X$. Let $M_{\bar L}$ be the closure of its subset consisting of GPBs with fixed determinant ${\bar L}$. We define a moduli functor for which $M_{\bar L}$ is the coarse moduli scheme. Using the correspondence between GPBs on $X$ and torsion-free sheaves on a nodal curve $Y$ of which $X$ is a desingularization, we show that $M_{\bar L}$ can be regarded as the compactified moduli scheme of vector bundles on $Y$ with fixed determinant. We get a natural scheme structure on the closure of the subset consisting of torsion-free sheaves with a fixed determinant in the moduli space of torsion-free sheaves on $Y$. The relation to Seshadri--Nagaraj conjecture is studied.

description: A market share analysis is undertaken to determine the contribution of the size of market effect, the distribution effect, and the competitive effect, the distribution effect, and the competitive effect to gains for the five major farm real estate lenders. Results are used as a basis for selection of variables for a demand-supply analysis. Separate demand and supply equations for new farm real estate debt over the 1951-81 period are estimated by three-stage least squares for three major lending groups. The results are used as a basis for simulation of Federal Land Bank supply response to selected policy changes. If current market conditions continue through 1990, FLB market share is expected to decrease 12.34 percent over the 1987-90 period. Higher FLB interest rates would decrease FLB new loans sharply.

description: We show a general form of neutrino mass matrix (M), whose matrix elements are denoted by M_{ij} (i.j=e, mu, tau) as flavor neutrino masses, that induces maximal CP violation as well as maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing. The masses of M_{mu mu}, M_{tau tau} and M_{mu tau}+sigma M_{ee} (sigma =\pm 1) turn out to be completely determined by M_{e mu} and M_{e tau} for given mixing angles. The appearance of CP violation is found to originate from the interference between the mu-tau symmetric part of M and its breaking part. If |M_{e mu}|=|M_{e tau}|, giving either M_{e mu}=-sigma e^{i theta} M_{e tau} or M_{e mu}=-sigma e^{i theta}M*_{e tau} with a phase parameter theta, is further imposed, we find that |M_{mu mu}|=|M_{tau tau}|is also satisfied. These two constraints can be regarded as an extended version of the constraints in the mu-tau symmetric texture given by M_{e mu}=-sigma M_{e tau} and M_{mu mu}=M_{tau tau}. Majorana CP violation becomes active if arg(M_{mu tau})\neq arg(M_{e mu})+theta/2 for M_{e mu}=-sigma e^{i theta} M_{e tau} and if arg(M_{mu tau})\neq theta/2 for M_{e mu}=-sigma e^{i theta} M*_{e tau}.

description: This paper investigates the relationship between farm size and technology adoption by applying a model recently developed by Just and Zilberman to the choices of a sample of southwestern soybean farmers. The adoption of double cropping soybeans with wheat is evaluated with an expanded model which includes availability of specialized equipment and human capital. It is found that the empirical farm size-technology adoption relationship is consistent with risk aversion and a high covariance of returns between the old and new technologies. Accounting for human and physical capital differences across farms improves the power of the hypothesis tests.

description: Economists are frequently faced with the task of valuing commodity package components. The valuation of specific impacts of public policies is a case in point. Two contingent market bid elicitation procedures were tested for valuing changes in single components of multicomponent government program. Results of the test suggested that respondents provided more accurate component to piecewise valuation when a two-step bidding approach, rather than a one-step approach was used. Thus, there is evidence that a two-step approach which helps respondents to isolate valuations for package components is perhaps a preferable bid elicitation procedure for piecewise valuation.

description: A femtosecond frequency-doubled Erbium-doped fiber laser with adjustable pulse repetition rate is developed and applied in two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy. The all-fiber laser system provides the fundamental pulse at 1560 nm wavelength with 22 fs duration for the second harmonic generation, resulting in 1.35 nJ, 60 fs pulses at 780 nm. The repetition rate is adjusted by a pulse picker unit built-in within the amplifier chain, directly providing transform-limited pulses for any chosen repetition rate between 1 and 12 MHz. We employed the laser source to drive a scanning two-photon excited fluorescence microscope for ex vivo rat skin and other samples imaging at various pulse repetition rates. Due to compactness, ease of operation, and suitable pulse characteristics the laser source can be considered as an attractive alternative for Ti:sapphire laser in biomedical imaging.

description: This paper extends finance theory under risk to account for borrowing behavior under financial stress conditions. As the financial stress level for the firm increases, the role of credit or unused borrowing capacity changes. With a strong equity position, credit is valued as a reserve to avoid liquidation costs resulting from the sale of fixed assets to meet cash flow obligations. As the financial stress on the firm increases the model demonstrates the firm's willingness to reduce credit reserves and increase its financial leverage in order to increase its probability of survival. These results are derived in a tractable framework by describing risky alternatives in terms of expected values and variances.

description: A heuristic criterion for choosing an acceptable level of bias in ridge regression is presented. The criterion is based on a noncentral F-test of the stochastic restrictions implicit in the ridge estimator. An appropriate significance level for the test is based on conjunctive use of strong and weak mean square error criteria. The procedure is illustrated in estimating a Cobb-Douglas production function for the Central Valley of California using factor shares as priors rather than the null vector. Preliminary results suggest that a conjunctive SMSE/WMSE criterion with more "reasonable" priors selects an estimator with smaller bias than ridge trace.

description: We experimentally demonstrate that electrically neutral particles, neutrons, can be used to directly visualize the electrostatic field inside a target volume that can be isolated or occupied. Electric-field images were obtained using a polychromatic, spin-polarized neutron beam with a sensitive polarimetry scheme. This work may enable new diagnostic power of the structure of electric potential, electric polarization, charge distribution, and dielectric constant by imaging spatially dependent electric fields in objects that cannot be accessed by other conventional probes.

mRNA expression profiling of the ATP-binding cassette transporter family

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer is characterized by cross-resistance to a variety of structurally unrelated chemotherapeutic compounds. Altered expression levels of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MRP1) are strongly associated with MDR. Pgp and MRP1 are members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of membrane proteins. Members of this family transport a wide spectrum of substrates (e.g. peptides, metals, ions, toxins and chemotherapeutic drugs) across cell membranes. Completion of the human genome-sequencing project revealed there are close to 50 ABC genes (Dean et al., 2001); however, function or substrate specificity is known for only a few. It is anticipated that several of these proteins may also contribute to MDR and mutations or altered expression levels of a number of ABC proteins are causal of diseases such as cystic fibrosis and Tangier disease. Despite these associations, there has been no systematic attempt to profile expression of ABC transcripts. We have developed a competitive-RT-PCR assay to examine RNA expression profiles of 35 human ABC transcripts. This assay uses RNA competitors for each transcript, and fluorescently labeled PCR products are resolved using capillary electrophoresis. The data is highly reproducible and accurate. We have examined ABC transcript expression profiles in sensitive and vincristineresistant cell lines, as well as cells exposed short-term (24 hours) to various chemotherapeutic drugs. Vincristine-selection demonstrated multiple, possibly sequential, expression changes may collectively contribute to MDR, whereas short-term drug exposure revealed few expression changes, suggesting that altered mRNA expression is not a common response to xenobiotic exposure. ABC expression profiles were also generated for 12 normal human tissues. Analysis of individual transcripts and the collective expression profiles provided insights into the relative contribution of ABC proteins to MDR, defense against xenobiotic toxins and phospholipid and cholesterol homeostasis. Another study examined the effect o f enforced expression o f the proapoptotic BAX cDNA on the collective ABC expression profile and relative drug-resistance of a cell line. Our results suggest Pgp-mediated MDR may be regulated by BAX protein in some cell lines. The continued systematic evaluation of ABC transcript profiles under various experimental conditions should provide further insights into the normal physiological roles of ABC proteins.

description: Contrary to recent commentary, reliance on individual faculty initiative and learned societies in setting the academic agenda has greater promise for contributing to the land grant mission than more administratively driven and dominated systems. Learned societies have the advantage in evaluating disciplinary content and are thereby the appropriate evaluators of quality. A distinguishing characteristic of all university professors should be a continuing commitment to active participation in research in support of their principle function, teaching, be their students on-campus undergraduate or graduates, off-campus clientele, or professional peers. The popular notion that all, or even most recognized peer-review journals are oriented mainly to disciplinary (versus problem-focused) research is challenged.
Shock Waves in a Superfluid with Higher-Order Dispersion

description: Higher-order dispersion can lead to intriguing dynamics that are becoming a focus of modern hydrodynamics research. Such systems occur naturally, for example in shallow water waves and nonlinear optics, for which several types of novel dispersive shocks structures have been identified. Here we introduce ultracold atoms as a tunable quantum simulations platform for higher-order systems. Degenerate quantum gases are well controlled model systems for the experimental study of dispersive hydrodynamics in superfluids and have been used to investigate phenomena such as vortices, solitons, dispersive shock waves and quantum turbulence. With the advent of Raman-induced spin-orbit coupling, the dispersion of a dilute gas Bose-Einstein condensate can be modified in a flexible way, allowing for detailed investigations of higher-order dispersion dynamics. Here we present a combined experimental and theoretical study of shock structures generated in such a system. The breaking of Galilean invariance by the spin-orbit coupling allows two different types of shock structures to emerge simultaneously in a single system. Numerical simulations suggest that the behavior of these shock structures is affected by interactions with vortices in a manner reminiscent of emerging viscous hydrodynamics due to an underlying quantum turbulence in the system. This result suggests that spin-orbit coupling can be used as a powerful means to tun the effective viscosity in cold-atom experiments serving as quantum simulators of turbulent hydrodynamics, with applications from condensed matter and optics to quantum simulations of neutron stars.
