The product of Drosophila segment polarity gene armadillo is part of a multi-protein complex resembling the vertebrate adherens junction
Creators: name: PFEIFER, M
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1993

description: Sequence similarity between the Drosophila segment polarity protein Armadillo and the vertebrate adherens junction protein beta-catenin raised the possibility that adherens junctions function in transduction of intercellular signals like that mediated by Wingless/Wnt-1. To substantiate the sequence similarity, properties of Armadillo were evaluated for consistency with a junctional role. Armadillo is part of a membrane-associated complex. This complex includes Armadillo, a glycoprotein similar in size to vertebrate cadherins, and the Drosophila homolog of alpha-catenin. Armadillo co-localizes with junctions that resemble vertebrate adherens junctions in morphology and position. These results suggest that Drosophila and vertebrate adherens junctions are structurally similar, validating use of Armadillo and its associated proteins as a model for vertebrate adherens junctions.

A chromosome breakage assay to monitor mitotic forces in budding yeast
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: During the eukaryotic cell cycle, genetic material must be accurately duplicated and faithfully segregated to each daughter cell. Segregation of chromosomes is dependent on the centromere, a region of the chromosome which interacts with mitotic spindle microtubules during cell division. Centromere function in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, can be regulated by placing an inducible promotor adjacent to centromere DNA. This conditional centromere can be integrated into chromosome III to generate a conditionally functional dicentric chromosome. Activation of the dicentric chromosome results in a transient mitotic delay followed by the generation of monocentric derivatives. The propagation of viable cells containing these monocentric derivative chromosomes is dependent upon the DNA repair gene RAD52, indicating that double-strand DNA breaks are structural intermediates in the dicentric repair pathway. We have used these conditionally dicentric chromosomes to monitor the exertion of mitotic forces during cell division. Analysis of synchronized cells reveal that lethality in dicentric, rad52 mutant cells occurs during G2/M phase and is concomitant with the transient mitotic delay. the delay is largely dependent upon the cell cycle checkpoint gene RAD9, which is involved in monitoring DNA damage. These data demonstrate that DNA lesions resulting from dicentric activation are responsible for signalling the mitotic delay. Since the delay precedes the decline of p34cdc28 kinase activity, mitotic forces sufficient to result in dicentric chromosome breakage are generated prior to spindle elongation and anaphase onset in yeast.

description: We studied the process $γγ\to t\bar{c}+c\bar{t}$ in a $R_{p}$ violating supersymmetric Model with the effects from both B- and L-violating interactions. The calculation shows that it is possible to detect a $R_{p}$ violating signal at the Next Linear Collider. Information about the B-violating interaction in this model could be obtained under very clean background, if we take the present upper bounds for the parameters in the supersymmetric $\rlap/ R_{p}$ interactions. Even if we can not detect a signal of $\rlap/R_{p}$ in the experiment, we may get more stringent constraints on the heavy-flavor $\rlap/R_{p}$ couplings.

description: The purpose of this study is the identification of young ($1< age < 100$ Myr), nearby ($d \leqslant100$ pc) moving groups (YNMGs) through their kinematic signature. YNMGs could be the result of the recent dispersal of young embedded clusters, such that they still represent kinematically cold groups, carrying the residual motion of their parental cloud. Using the fact that a large number ($\sim$ 14000) of the RAVE sources with evidence of chromospheric activity, also present signatures of stellar youth, we selected a sample of solar type sources with the highest probability of chromospheric activity to look for common kinematics. We made use of radial velocity information from RAVE and astrometric parameters from GAIA DR2 to construct a 6-dimension position-velocity vector catalog for our full sample. We developed a method based on the grouping of stars with similar orientation of their velocity vectors, which we call the Cone Method Sampling. Using this method, we detected 646 sources with high significance in the velocity space, with respect to the average orientation of artificial distributions made from a purely Gaussian velocity ellipsoid with null vertex deviation. We compared this sample of highly significant sources with a catalog of YNMGs reported in previous studies, which yield 75 confirmed members. From the remaining sample, about 50% of the sources have ages younger than 100 Myr, which indicate they are highly probable candidates to be new members of identified or even other YNMGs in the solar neighborhood.

Assembly and DNA binding of recombinant Ku (p70/p80) autoantigen defined by a novel monoclonal antibody specific for p70/p80 heterodimers
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: The Ku autoantigen is a heterodimer of 70 kDa (p70) and -80 kDa (p80) subunits that is the DNA-binding component of a DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). The 350 kDa (p350) catalytic subunit of DNA-PK phosphorylates Sp-1, Oct-1, p53 and RNA polymerase II in vitro, but the precise cellular role of DNA-PK remains unclear. In the present studies, the assembly of p70/p80 heterodimers and the interaction of Ku with DNA was investigated using recombinant vaccinia viruses directing the synthesis of human p70 (p70-vacc) and p80 (p80-vacc), and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Expression of human Ku antigens in rabbit kidney (RK13) cells could be demonstrated by immunofluorescent staining because this cell line contains little endogenous Ku. A novel mAb designated 162 stained the nuclei of RK13 cells coinfected with p70-vacc and p80-vacc, but not cells that were infected with either virus alone, suggesting that it recognized the p70/p80 heterodimer but not monomeric p70 or p80. In agreement with the immunofluorescence data, 162 immunoprecipitated both p70 and p80 from extracts of coinfected cells, but did not immunoprecipitate either subunit by itself from extracts of cells infected with p70-vacc or p80-vacc, respectively. Conversely, the binding of 162 to Ku isolated from human K562 cells stabilized the p70/p80 heterodimer under conditions that normally dissociate p70 from p80. The nuclei of cells infected with p70-vacc alone could be stained with mAb N3H10 (anti-p70) and cells infected with p80-vacc alone could be stained with mAb 111 (anti-p80), indicating that the formation of p70/p80 heterodimers was not required for nuclear transport. Finally, free recombinant and cellular p70 both bound to DNA efficiently in vitro, suggesting that free p70, like the p70/p80 heterodimer, serves as a DNA-binding factor. Moreover, free human p70 could be released from the nuclei of p70-vacc-infected RK13 cells by deoxyribonuclease I treatment, suggesting that it was associated with chromatin in vivo. The nuclear transport of free p70 and the association of free p70 with chromatin in vivo raise the possibility that newly synthesized cellular p70 might undergo nuclear transport and DNA-binding prior to dimerization with p80 or assembly with p350.

description: Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) is a protein in humans encoded by gene FGFR2. It plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis, and in the regulation of embryonic development. Mutations in FGFR2 gene are associated with numerous medical conditions that include craniosynostosis syndromes (abnormal bone development) and various cancers. In fact, FGFR2 is shown to be activated in many cancers through the mechanisms of gene amplification, translocations, and point mutations. There remains many FGFR2 mutations whose effects are unknown. In this work we have investigated point mutations in FGFR2 kinase. We have performed region-based analysis wherein we mapped mutations to various domains of protein and performed Shannon entropy analysis on the mutant positions. BLOSUM matrix values were also obtained for the mutations to get insights about differences in amino acids substitution for cancer and syndromes. Structure energy-based analysis was performed using FoldX, a protein design algorithm. Statistical analysis like Normality tests, T-tests, Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon Tests were performed on the energy values obtained from FoldX, and histograms were generated. This analysis makes the following contributions. The region-based analysis shows that cancer causing mutations are distributed across all regions, whereas syndrome causing mutations are not uniformly distributed across all domains. The BLOSUM analysis reveals that in cancer causing mutations substitution takes place between amino acids with similar physicochemical properties, whereas in syndrome causing mutations all types of amino acids can be substituted. The structure-energy based, and statistical analysis shows that cancer causing and syndrome causing mutations have identical energy distributions, indicating that energy cannot be used as predictor for differentiating cancer causing and syndromes causing mutants in FGFR2. The results of histogram analysis are inconclusive. In summary, this study has provided interesting insights that can be helpful for further research of FGFR2 kinase mutations.

description: Abstract In this paper, we tackle interactive debugging of "gray-box" concept-based models (CBMs). These models learn task-relevant concepts appearing in the inputs and then compute a prediction by aggregating the concept activations. Our work stems from the observation that in CBMs both the concepts and the aggregation function can be affected by different kinds of bugs, and that fixing these bugs requires different kinds of corrective supervision. To this end, we introduce a simple schema for human supervisors to identify and prioritize bugs in both components, and discuss solution strategies and open problems. We also introduce a novel loss function for debugging the aggregation step that generalizes existing strategies for aligning black-box models to CBMs by making them robust to how the concepts change during training.

description: Artificial metallo-nucleases (AMNs) are promising DNA damaging drug candidates. Here, we demonstrate how the 1,2,3-triazole linker produced by the Cu-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction can be directed to build Cu-binding AMN scaffolds. We selected biologically inert reaction partners tris(azidomethyl)mesitylene and ethynyl-thiophene to develop TC-Thio, a bioactive C3-symmetric ligand in which three thiophene-triazole moieties are positioned around a central mesitylene core. The ligand was characterised by X-ray crystallography and forms multinuclear CuII and CuI complexes identified by mass spectrometry and rationalised by density functional theory (DFT). Upon Cu coordination, CuII-TC-Thio becomes a potent DNA binding and cleaving agent. Mechanistic studies reveal DNA recognition occurs exclusively at the minor groove with subsequent oxidative damage promoted through a superoxide- and peroxide-dependent pathway. Single molecule imaging of DNA isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells shows that the complex has comparable activity to the clinical drug temozolomide, causing DNA damage that is recognised by a combination of base excision repair (BER) enzymes.

description: On 2017 September 22, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory reported the detection of the high-energy neutrino event \icnu, of potential astrophysical origin. It was soon determined that the neutrino direction was consistent with the location of the gamma-ray blazar \txs~(3FGL J0509.4+0541), which was in an elevated gamma-ray emission state as measured by the \emph{Fermi} satellite. VERITAS observations of the neutrino/blazar region started on 2017 September 23 in response to the neutrino alert and continued through 2018 February 6. While no significant very-high-energy (VHE; E $>$ 100 GeV) emission was observed from the blazar by VERITAS in the two-week period immediately following the IceCube alert, TXS 0506+056 was detected by VERITAS with a significance of 5.8 standard deviations ($σ$) in the full 35-hour data set. The average photon flux of the source during this period was $(8.9 \pm 1.6) \times 10^{-12} \; \mathrm{cm}^{-2} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1}$, or 1.6\% of the Crab Nebula flux, above an energy threshold of 110 GeV, with a soft spectral index of $4.8 \pm 1.3$.

Concentration od pp125 focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at the myotendinous junction
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: Focal adhesion kinase is a recently characterized tyrosine kinase that is concentrated at focal contacts in cultured cells. It is thought to play an important role in the regulation of the integrin-based signal transduction mechanism involved in the assembly of this membrane specialization. In this study, we examined the immunocytochemical distribution of focal adhesion kinase in Xenopus skeletal muscle and its role in the formation of two sarcolemmal specializations, the myotendinous junction and the neuromuscular junction, using a monoclonal antibody (2A7) against this protein. Immunoprecipitation of Xenopus embryonic tissues with this antibody demonstrated a single band at a relative molecular mass of 116 kDa. A distinct concentration of immunolabeling for focal adhesion kinase was observed at the myotendinous junction of muscle fibers in vivo. At this site, the labeling for this protein is correlated with an accumulation of phosphotyrosine immunolabeling. Focal adhesion kinase was not concentrated at the neuromuscular junction in muscle cells either in vivo or in vitro. However, it was localized at spontaneously formed acetylcholine receptor clusters in cultured Xenopus myotomal muscle cells, although its distribution was not exactly congruent with that of the receptors. In these cells, the accumulation focal adhesion kinase was induced by polystyrene microbeads. In addition, beads also induce the formation of acetylcholine receptor clusters and myotendinous junction-like specializations. By following the appearance of the focal adhesion kinase relative to the formation of these sarcolemmal specializations at bead-muscle contacts in cultured muscle cells, we conclude that the accumulation of this protein was in pace with the development of the myotendinous junction, but occurred well after the clustering of acetylcholine receptors. These results suggest that focal adhesion kinase may be involved in the development and/or maintenance of the myotendinous junction through an integrin-based signaling system. Although it can accumulate at acetylcholine receptor clusters formed in culture, it does not appear to be involved in the development of the neuromuscular junction.

description: We study resonant tunneling through a quantum dot with one degenerate level in the presence of a strong Coulomb repulsion and a bosonic environment. Using a real-time approach we calculate the spectral density and the nonlinear current within a conserving approximation. The spectral density shows a multiplet of Kondo peaks split by the transport voltage and boson frequencies. As a consequence we find a zero-bias anomaly in the differential conductance which can show a local maximum or minimum depending on the level position. The results are compared with recent experiments.

Formale Methoden

description: Robustness of a concurrent program ensures that its behaviors on a weak concurrency model are indistinguishable from those on a stronger model. Enforcing robustness is particularly useful when porting or migrating applications between architectures. Existing tools mostly focus on ensuring sequential consistency (SC) robustness which is a stronger condition and may result in unnecessary fences. To address this gap, we analyze and enforce robustness between weak memory models, more specifically for two mainstream architectures: x86 and ARM (versions 7 and 8). We identify robustness conditions and develop analysis techniques that facilitate porting an application between these architectures. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first approach that addresses robustness between the hardware weak memory models. We implement our robustness checking and enforcement procedure as a compiler pass in LLVM and experiment on a number of standard concurrent benchmarks. In almost all cases, our procedure terminates instantaneously and insert significantly less fences than the naive schemes that enforce SC-robustness.

Expression and localization of the phosphoglucomutase-related cytoskeletal protein, aciculin, in skeletal muscle
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: Recently, a 60/63 kDa cytoskeletal protein, highly homologous to the glycolytic enzyme phosphoglucomutase (PGM 1), was isolated from smooth muscle tissue and shown to localize in various adherens-type junctions of muscle and some nonmuscle cells. Since this protein, tentatively named 'aciculin', was enriched in muscle tissues and cells, we have attempted to study its expression and localization during myodifferentiation. C2C12 mouse myoblasts did not express any aciculin before cell fusion in culture. Immediately after cell fusion aciculin became detectable and its content continued to rise during myotube maturation. In early myotubes aciculin appeared first at cell tips and was predominantly localized to focal adhesions of immature myotubes. As myotubes matured in culture, aciculin became associated with growing myofibrils, and finally was found redistributed in striations, corresponding to sarcomere Z-discs. Immunoblotting showed that aciculin content in chicken breast skeletal muscle remained very low until day 11 of embryogenesis, but significantly increased in late prenatal and early postnatal development. By immunofluorescence, aciculin was not revealed in thigh skeletal muscle of day 11 chicken embryos, but was prominently localized at myotendinous junctions in thigh muscle of day 16 embryos. Myotendinous junctions appeared to be major sites of aciculin accumulation in developing and mature skeletal muscle fibers in vivo, suggesting some role for this protein in thin filament-membrane interactions and, potentially, in force transmission at these cell-matrix contacts. In adult skeletal muscle faint aciculin staining appeared at the sarcolemma and as striations in register with Z-discs. Since the protein was not identified in glycerinated myofibrils but was localized to striations in C2C12 myotubes and within the limited areas on skeletal muscle tissue sections, we conclude that aciculin is a component of skeletal muscle costameres. In cultured C2C12 myotubes we found some codistribution of aciculin with clusters of acetylcholine receptors, suggesting its presence at neuromuscular junctions. However, we did not detect any significant concentration of aciculin at neuromuscular junctions in both embryonic and adult skeletal muscle. Taken together, our data show that aciculin expression in skeletal muscle is differentiation-dependent and upregulated during muscle development, and that this novel cytoskeletal protein is a component of various cell-matrix adherens junctions in muscle cells.

Microtubule assembly and kinetochore directional instability in vertebrate monopolar spindles : implications for the mechanism of chromosome congression
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: We have proposed previously a kinetochore motor-polar ejection model for chromosome congression to the metaphase plate where forces generated at the kinetochore are antagonized by away-from-the pole forces generated within each half-spindle on the chromosome arms. This model was based in large part on observations of the behavior of chromosomes on monopolar spindles. In these cells chromosomes typically become attached to the pole by only one kinetochore fiber. These mono-oriented chromosomes move to positions away from the pole even though they are pulled poleward at their kinetochores. Their arms are also ejected away from the pole when severed from the centromere. Here we have characterized further the properties of monopolar spindles in newt lung epithelial cells to determine the similarities between monopolar and bipolar spindles. We found no significant differences between monopolar and bipolar spindles over the parameters examined, which included: microtubule dynamics as measured by fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching; the ability of polar microtubule arrays to push chromosome arms away from the pole; the dependence of chromosome position relative to the pole on microtubule assembly; the number of kinetochore microtubules per kinetochore; and the directional instability of kinetochore motion during chromosome oscillations poleward and away-from-the-pole. As in bipolar spindles, kinetochore directional instability is characterized by abrupt switching between constant velocity phases of poleward and away-from-the-pole motion. From these data we conclude that the mechanism(s) responsible for chromosome positioning in monopolar spindles are fundamentally the same as those in bipolar spindles; only the geometry of the two spindle forms and the interplay between sister kinetochore directional instabilities are different. We also found no correlation in the kinetochore-to-pole distance with kinetochore microtubule number in monopolar spindles, but a strong qualitative correlation with microtubule density. This finding indicates that oscillations of mono-oriented chromosomes in both monopolar and bipolar spindles occur because chromosomes persist in poleward motion until they reach a density of polar microtubules sufficiently high to promote switching to away-from-the-pole motion. As the kinetochore and chromosome arms move away-from-the-pole, microtubule density decreases and the kinetochore switches to poleward motion, pulling the chromosome arms back into regions of higher microtubule density. The mechanism regulating kinetochore switching between poleward and away-from-the-pole motion is poorly understood, but may depend on tension at the kinetochore generated by pushing forces on the chromosome arms produced by the polar microtubule arrays.

Using Scalars to Probe Theories of Low Scale Quantum Gravity

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

description: Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali have recently suggested that gravity may become strong at energies near 1 TeV which would remove the hierarchy problem. Such a scenario can be tested at present and future colliders since the exchange of towers of Kaluza-Klein gravitons leads to a set of new dimension-8 operators that can play important phenomenological roles. In this paper we examine how the production of pairs of scalars at $e^+e^-$, $γγ$ and hadron colliders can be used to further probe the effects of graviton tower exchange. In particular we examine the tree-level production of pairs of identical Higgs fields which occurs only at the loop level in both the Standard Model and its extension to the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Cross sections for such processes are found to be potentially large at the LHC and the next generation of linear colliders. For the $γγ$ case the role of polarization in improving sensitivity to graviton exchange is emphasized.

description: We present results of the Monte-Carlo simulations for scaling of the free energy in dimers on the hexagonal lattice. The traditional Markov-chain Metropolis algorithm and more novel non-Markov Wang-Landau algorithm are applied. We compare the calculated results with the theoretical prediction for the equilateral hexagon and show that the latter algorithm gives more precise results for the dimer model. For a non-hexagonal domain the theoretical results are not available, so we present the numerical results for a certain geometry of the domain. We also study the two-point correlation function in simulations of dimers and the six-vertex model. The logarithmic dependence of the correlation function on the distance, which is in accordance with the Gaussian free field description of fluctuations, is obtained.

Two phase transitions in the fully frustrated $XY$ model
Creators: name: Olsson, Peter
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The fully frustrated $XY$ model on a square lattice is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. A Kosterlitz-Thouless transition is found at $T_{\rm KT} \approx 0.446$, followed by an ordinary Ising transition at a slightly higher temperature, $T_c \approx 0.452$. The non-Ising exponents reported by others, are explained as a failure of finite size scaling due to the screening length associated with the nearby Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.

description: Because unknown interior layouts can have serious consequences in time-sensitive situations, crisis response teams request many potential solutions for visualizing indoor environments in crisis scenarios. This research uses a game engine to directly visualize point cloud data input of indoor environments for generating clear interaction between the environment and viewers, to aid decision-making in high-stress moments. The prospective final product is an integration of game-oriented visualization and cartography, hosted within Unreal Engine 4 (UE4), allowing users to navigate throughout an indoor environment, and customizing certain interaction features. The UE4 project consists of 4 modules: data preprocessing, render style, functional module, and user interface. Finally, this research uses a single-floor indoor point cloud dataset collected from a building in Rotterdam, the Netherlands for the implementation.
title: Use of Situational Judgment Test to Measure Individual Adaptability in Applied Settings

Subjects: subject: Adaptability

description: The purpose of the current study was to develop a measure of individual adaptability for use in applied settings. Specifically, an Adaptability Situational Judgment Test (ASJT) was designed to provide a practical and valid selection and assessment instrument that had incremental validity beyond the Big Five personality traits and cognitive ability in predicting supervisor ratings of adaptability. A criterion-related concurrent validation study was conducted in both a military (n = 101) and call center (n = 67) sample. Findings provide evidence for the criterion-related and nomological validity of the measure. In addition, minimal scoring differences existed on the basis of race support its fairness. The ASJT had similar relationships with all variables of interest in both samples, thus providing support for the generalizability of the measure to both military and business settings. Practical implications and recommendations for future refinements of the ASJT are discussed.
Mutants of the Drosophila ncd microtubule motor protein cause centrosomal and spindle pole defects in mitosis

description: Nonclaret disjunctional (ncd) is a kinesin-related microtubule motor protein required for meiotic and early mitotic chromosome distribution in Drosophila. ncd translocates on microtubules with the opposite polarity to kinesin, toward microtubule minus ends, and is associated with spindles in chromosome/spindle preparations. Here we report a new mutant of ncd caused by partial deletion of the predicted coiled-coil central stalk. The mutant protein exhibits a velocity of translocation and ability to generate torque in motility assays comparable to near full-length ncd, but only partially rescues a null mutant for chromosome mis-segregation. Antibody staining experiments show that the partial loss-of-function and null mutants cause centrosomal and spindle pole defects, including centrosome splitting and loss of centrosomes from spindle poles, and localize ncd to centrosomes as well as spindles of wild-type embryos. Association of ncd with spindles and centrosomes is microtubule- and cell cycle-dependent: inhibition of microtubule assembly with colchicine abolishes ncd staining and centrosomal staining is observed in prometaphase, metaphase and anaphase, but diminishes in late anaphase/telophase. The cell cycle dependence of centrosomal staining and the defects of mutants provide clear evidence for activity of the ncd motor protein near or at the spindle poles in mitosis. The ncd motor may interact with centrosomal microtubules and spindle fibers to attach centrosomes to spindle poles, and mediate poleward translocation (flux) of kinetochore fibers, a process that may underlie poleward movement of chromosomes in mitosis. Together with previous work, our findings indicate that ncd is important in maintaining spindle poles in mitosis as well as in meiosis.

description: We present our study of the dependence of the heavy-to-light semileptonic B decay form factors on the heavy-light meson mass $M_{PS}$. Simulations are made over a range of the heavy quark mass covering both the charm and bottom quarks using the $O(a)$-improved clover action at $β=5.9$ on a $16^3\times 40$ and $24^3\times 64$ lattice. We find that a weak dependence of form factors on $M_{PS}$ observed in previous studies in the region of charm quark persists up to the region of$b$ quark. The soft pion relation $f^0(q^2_{max})=f_B/f_π$ is examined and found to be largely violated.

description: We introduce and describe the class of split regular $Hom$-Leibniz color $3$-algebras as the natural extension of the class of split Lie algebras, split Leibniz algebras, split Lie $3$-algebras, split Lie triple systems, split Leibniz $3$-algebras, and some other algebras. More precisely, we show that any of such split regular $Hom$-Leibniz color $3$-algebras $T$ is of the form ${T}={\mathcal U} +\sum\limits_{j}I_{j}$, with $\mathcal U$ a subspace of the $0$-root space ${T}_0$, and $I_{j}$ an ideal of $T$ satisfying {for} $j\neq k:$ \[[{ T},I_j,I_k]+[I_j,{ T},I_k]+[I_j,I_k,T]=0.\] Moreover, if $T$ is of maximal length, we characterize the simplicity of $T$ in terms of a connectivity property in its set of non-zero roots.

description: We consider the most general four fermion operators in QCD for two and three massless flavors and study their renormalization in the vicinity of the Fermi surface. We show that, asymptotically, the largest coupling corresponds to scalar diquark condensation. Asymptotically the direct and iterated (molecular) instanton interactions become equal. We provide simple arguments for the form of the operators that diagonalize the evolution equations. Some solutions of the flow equations exhibit instabilities arising out of purely repulsive interactions.

description: Efficient and effective Dissemination, Exploitation, and Communication (DEC) will be essential in helping to achieve FEAST’s strategic objectives. FEAST is designed to create a paradigm shift towards food systems that are fairer, healthier, and more environmentally friendly for all actors, particularly vulnerable populations.

Our pathway to impact will begin by working through a Multi Actor Approach (MAA) to leverage the results and outputs from FEAST to ensure broad-scale strategic dissemination of the project’s findings and key messages, enabling their uptake and integration in future strategies and practices developed by local, regional and national governments, and simultaneously engaging the general public (e.g. consumers, citizens, etc.), production/supply side actors and young professionals in the implementation of such strategies - thus inspiring each target group to move upwards in the engagement pyramid, and further exploiting FEAST’s potential to build capacity.

This document provides an update to FEAST’s DEC plan based on progress from M6-M17 of the project (the first version of FEAST’s DEC plan is available on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8068519).  The updated DEC plan follows the same structure as the initial document and has been updated with concrete examples of the implementation of specific DEC activities.
