description: Large millimeter interferometers are revealing a growing number of rotating outflows, which are suggested to trace magneto-centrifugal disk winds (MHD DWs). However, their impact on disk accretion is not yet well quantified. Here we identify systematic biases in retrieving the true launch zone, magnetic lever arm, and angular momentum flux of an MHD DW from apparent rotation signatures. Synthetic position-velocity cuts are constructed from self-similar MHD DWs over a broad range of parameters, and three different methods are applied for estimating the specific angular momentum. We find that the launch radius inferred using the well-known relation from Anderson et al. (2006) can markedly differ from the true outermost launch radius $r_{out}$ of the DW. The "double-peak separation" and "flow width" methods provide only a strict lower limit to $r_{out}$. This bias is independent of angular resolution and can reach a factor ten. In contrast, the "rotation curve" method gives a good estimate of $r_{out}$ when the flow is well resolved, and an upper limit otherwise. The magnetic lever arm is always underestimated. Only comparison with synthetic predictions can take into account properly all observational effects. As an application, we present a comparison with ALMA observations of HH212 at resolutions from 250 au to 16 au, which represents the most stringent observational test of MHD DW to date. This comparison confirms our predicted biases for the double-peak separation method, and the large $r_{out}\sim40~$au and small magnetic lever arm first suggested by Tabone et al. (2017). We also derive the first accurate analytical expression for the fraction of disk angular momentum extracted by an MHD disk wind of given radial extent, magnetic lever arm, and mass flux. Application to HH212 confirms that MHD DWs are serious candidates for the steady angular momentum extraction process in young disks.

description: Blood donation with compensation is considered as a social stigma. However, more people in the reference group donate blood often leads to less moral concern and more followers. Therefore, the behavior is likely to be influenced through one’s interactions with neighbors, friends and relatives. Meanwhile, relative income may affect the motives for blood donation through increasing mistrust and stress. The motives might be stronger for households of lower social rankings. Utilizing three-wave census-type panel data in 18 villages in rural western China, two identification strategies, instrumental variable and network-based identification, are implemented to estimate the effect of social interactions. Both community-specific and household-specific relative income measures are employed to test whether blood donation is more sensitive towards the less well-off in a society. We find strong evidence in support of the effects of social interactions, no matter whether instrumental variables or network centrality measures are adopted. Household-specific measures of relative income show more salient effects on blood donation than community-specific inequality.

description: Within the sympathetic nervous system, neurons and surrounding glia engage in bidirectional communication, integrating multiple inputs to influence signal passing to target organs. In the context of hypertension, elevated activity levels in the ganglia may suggest a homeostatic mechanism gone wrong. A comparative investigation of characteristics of the ganglia at multiple time points before and after onset of hypertension in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) disease model suggests a loss of regulation may contribute to pathology. SHR Sympathetic Cervical Ganglia form fewer synapses than normotensive controls at neonatal ages, but lose this down regulation during development, and eventually form more synapses than their Wistar Kyoto normotensive counterparts. A decreased glial presence and increased level of c-Fos expression in the adult SHR ganglia compared to WKY also suggest that the system experiences elevated sympathetic activity, and that glia may play an important role in system regulation. These results offer longitudinal insight into the loss of compensatory mechanisms over the development of disease in a hypertensive animal model.

description: We further elaborate the theory of quantum fluctuations in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), developed in Ref. \cite{Hermier02}. In particular, we introduce the quantum Stokes parameters to describe the quantum self- and cross-correlations between two polarization components of the electromagnetic field generated by this type of lasers. We calculate analytically the fluctuation spectra of these parameters and discuss experiments in which they can be measured. We demonstrate that in certain situations VCSELs can exhibit polarization squeezing over some range of spectral frequencies. This polarization squeezing has its origin in sub-Poissonian pumping statistics of the active laser medium.

description: Much recent research has examined the implications of policy analysis for complex adaptive social-ecological systems. System complexity comes from both the natural environment as well as complex institutional arrangements that humans use to manage and regulate such systems. Such research has systematically investigated how the interaction of a host of variables relate to some evaluation criteria. Many scholars argue that a deep understanding of the social-ecological systems, however, comes at the expense of externally valid inferences to other systems. In this paper I argue that having a nuanced understanding of the social-ecological system actually helps one to understand which types of policy domains an analysis might be generalized.
Droplet coarsening in biomimetic 3D active fluids

Publisher: name: Brandeis University

Subjects: Physics

description: Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is found in many natural systems, ranging from food science to biological organization. In the context of biology, these LLPS condensates typically grow over time by coarsening. Typically, these organelles are embedded in a complex, far-from-equilibrium environment such as the cell cytoplasm. There, condensates are transported with a complex, active, turbulent flow, for which the framework for coarsening droplets is not well understood. Here, we design an experimental composite system composed of DNA nanostars, which mimics the phase behavior of membraneless organelles, and a microtubule-kinesin 3D active fluid, which mimics the complex advection behavior of the cytoplasmic environment. We compare how this composite system directs “active coarsening” and compare it to how droplets coarsen in a passive fluid with no advection. We find that the number of droplets decrease much more rapidly in active coarsening compared to passive coarsening, characterized by the number scaling exponent N. The average droplet radius scaling behavior, characterized by the average radius scaling exponent r, remains unchanged between active and passive coarsening. While the droplet radius distribution in passive coarsening reaches self-similarity, the active coarsening radius distribution shows an increasing polydispersity over time, characterized by the width parameter r. We also design a simulation to recreate the coarsening experiments we conducted, and find the same scaling and radius distribution behavior as we find in the experiments. We also measured coarsening of self-propelled active droplets with no spatial correlation, and find that removing spatial correlation in droplet motility does not change the coarsening dynamics. Ultimately, we find that droplet coarsening dynamics are set by droplet binary collision statistics, characterized by the collision kernel ij, regardless of whether droplets are in an active or passive fluid. These findings illuminate the generic principles that determine coarsening dynamics, and provide a framework for understanding measured organelle size distributions. This work might also allow future experiments to exert direct control over the collision kernel such that we can program droplet radius distributions and localize droplets in space.

description: The generation of an undular bore in the vicinity of a wave-breaking point is considered for the integrable Kaup-Boussinesq shallow water system. In the framework of the Whitham modulation theory, an analytic solution of the Gurevich-Pitaevskii type of problem for a generic "cubic" breaking regime is obtained using a generalized hodograph transform, and a further reduction to a linear Euler-Poisson equation. The motion of the undular bore edges is investigated in detail.

description: The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) has become a cornerstone of contemporary quantum applications development. Here we show that the \emph{density} of problem constraints versus problem variables acts as a performance indicator. Density is found to correlate strongly with approximation inefficiency for fixed depth QAOA applied to random graph minimization problem instances. Further, the required depth for accurate QAOA solution to graph problem instances scales critically with density. Motivated by Google's recent experimental realization of QAOA, we preform a reanalysis of the reported data reproduced in an ideal noiseless setting. We found that the reported capabilities of instances addressed experimentally by Google, approach a rapid fall-off region in approximation quality experienced beyond intermediate-density. Our findings offer new insight into performance analysis of contemporary quantum optimization algorithms and contradict recent speculation regarding low-depth QAOA performance benefits.

description: We explore the possible association between the microquasar LSI+61 303 and the EGRET source 2CG 135+01/3EG J0241$+$6103 by studying, with a detailed numerical model, whether this system can produce the emission and the variability detected by EGRET ($>$100 MeV) through inverse Compton (IC) scattering. Our numerical approach considers a population of relativistic electrons entrained in a cylindrical inhomogeneous jet, interacting with both the radiation and the magnetic fields, taking into account the Thomson and Klein-Nishina regimes of interaction. Our results reproduce the observed spectral characteristics and variability at $γ$-rays, thus strengthening the identification of LSI+61 303 as a high-energy $γ$-ray source.

description: Last years Ukraine allocated considerably finance resources for agriculture support according to their loading on the budget. However, amount increase of domestic support does not substantionally influence on the effectiveness indices of agricultural yields. Such information testifies about imperfect nature of the internal support mechanism of Ukrainian agriculture. As the result, domestic support did not become effective stimulus for production quality increase and rise amount of stock - breeding production. In 2008 Ukraine gathered the biggest grain harvest. Increase production did not improve finance results of agriculture and did not reduce stable and dynamic branch development because of negative influence of world finance crises. Unbalanced supply and demand of agricultural production, low buying ability of inhabitants, lack of branch effective mechanism of domestic support caused to complication of price situation in the domestic food market. Also there have been grounded possible economic consequences of influence of duty-tariff protection of agroindustrial market change on the prosperity of such economic agents as agricultural producers, consumers and state on the basis of the Agricultural Trade Policy Simulation Model (ATPSM).

description: This paper investigates whether political competition plays an important role in determining the level of agricultural protection. In order to do so, we exploit variation in political and economic data from 74 developing and developed countries for the post-war period. Our results robustly show that the level of agricultural distortions is the higher, the higher is the level of political competition. We show that political competition may importantly complement other institutional aspects in determining policy choices. We investigate the heterogeneous effects of political competition across different electoral rules (majoritarian vs. proportional), forms of government (coalition vs. single-party) and level of incomes.

description: The tight relationship between the masses of black holes and galaxy spheroids in nearby galaxies implies a causal connection between the growth of these two components. Optically luminous quasars host the most prodigious accreting black holes in the Universe and can account for >30% of the total cosmological black-hole growth. As typical quasars are not, however, undergoing intense star formation and already host massive black holes [>10^(8) M(Sun)], there must have been an earlier pre-quasar phase when these black holes grew [mass range ~10^(6)-10^(8) M(Sun)]. The likely signature of this earlier stage is simultaneous black-hole growth and star formation in distant (i.e., z>1; >8 billion light years away) luminous galaxies. Here we report ultra-deep X-ray observations of distant star-forming galaxies that are bright at submillimetre wavelengths. We find that the black holes in these galaxies are growing almost continuously throughout periods of intense star formation. This activity appears to be more tightly associated with these galaxies than any other coeval galaxy populations. We show that the black-hole growth from these galaxies is consistent with that expected for the pre-quasar phase.

description: Recent changes in U.S. energy policy have prompted the growth of the bio energy market. The ability to quickly enter and respond to the opportunities of this market is critical to an agribusiness’ success. Understanding entry into this rapidly growing bio energy market, however, is not well understood. In drawing on management theories of the Resource Based View (RBV) and that of Organizational Ecology, this study develops a conceptual and dynamic programming model to explain the entry behaviors of different types of bio energy businesses. A contribution of this study is it demonstrates that bio energy entry decisions emphasize a basic trade-off involving gains from a commitment to specialized, and correspondingly higher cost assets, and gains from remaining flexible with lower levels of fixed and less specific assets. This commitment-flexibility trade-off not only underlies entry, but such a trade-off is argued to be influenced by the population and uncertain conditions of the market. Importantly our work also sheds light on the implicit risks of the ethanol industry, and in part explains how corn-based dry mills and cellulosic-ethanol conversion technologies may be ideal depending on the type of market conditions upon entry.

Five consumer segments were identified using cluster analysis, namely: Market Enthusiasts, Recreational Shoppers, Serious Shoppers, Low-involved Shoppers, and Basic Shoppers. Each of these segments represents a group of consumers with different attendance and purchasing behavior. Furthermore, different segments look upon the farmers market shopping experience differently, ranging from an opportunity to quickly purchase fresh vegetables to a regular outing of on-site consumption and entertainment. Managerial and marketing implications of identified consumer segments were hence drawn.

New gender voting gaps in Spain.  Why do women vote for extreme right parties?
Creators: name: Zambrana Pérez, Rafael Andrés
name: Ortiz Barquero, Pablo

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This working paper uses survey data to explore the hypothesis that gender differences in voting for extreme rightist populist parties are related to the perception of being on the losing side of current mainstream feminism.  Here the assumption is that contemporary mainstream feminism focuses on "emancipating" women mainly through their participation within the labour market in a market-liberal-oriented way.  The article identifies four profiles of voters who might feel like "feminist losers".  First, those men feeling economically threatened by women's incorporation in the labour market, particularly those in white-collar jobs and liberal careers.  Second, men feeling culturally threatened by their perception of the weakening of heteropatriarchy.  Third, women who, despite being incorporated into the labour market, do not feel "emancipated" by such participation (working in low-paid jobs and enduring double or triple shifts as workers and housewives). And fourth, women who do not participate in the labour market, whose central role is as housewives, mothers and caregivers. We argue that they behave as limited rationality voters in selecting extreme rightist populist parties. Finally, we argue that rightist populist parties act as niche parties in answering the needs, demands and fears of those who feel like feminist losers, while mainstream parties have disregarded them. Our primary analytical strategy focuses on identifying profiles of voters, both in an inductive first and a deductive way second.

description: Statistical thermodynamical and kinetically-limited models are applied to study the origin and evolution of space charges and band-bending effects at low angle [001] tilt grain boundaries in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$ and the effects of Ca doping upon them. Atomistic simulations, using shell models of interatomic forces, are used to calculate the energetics of various relevant point defects. The intrinsic space charge profiles at ideal surfaces are calculated for two limits of oxygen contents, i.e. YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_6$ and YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$. At one limit, O$_6$, the system is an insulator, while at O$_7$, a metal. This is analogous to the intrinsic and doping cases of semiconductors. The site selections for doping calcium and creating holes are also investigated by calculating the heat of solution. In a continuum treatment, the volume of formation of doping calcium at Y-sites is computed. It is then applied to study the segregation of calcium ions to grain boundaries in the Y-123 compound. The influences of the segregation of calcium ions on space charge profiles are finally studied to provide one guide for understanding the improvement of transport properties by doping calcium at grain boundaries in Y-123 compound.

description: By the time Alltech had reached its twentieth anniversary, the Company’s growth had surpassed even the ambitious goals of its founder, Pearse Lyons. This success, however, has led to a dilemma faced by many corporate leaders—a need to create a new cadre of managers who can take the company forward. After analyzing how best to fill this gap a commitment was made to build a highly customized, internal education program using lecture, case study and project-based learning processes. Developing staff management skills, increasing loyalty and empowering complex decision making have been some of the rewards realized from this commitment. Backed by senior management, Alltech has used lessons learned from the mini-MBA to shape its future strategy. This paper examines the options Alltech explored, the model it chose, and the costs and benefits of adopting an executive education program in agribusiness.

description: Permutation entropy quantifies the diversity of possible orderings of the values a random or deterministic system can take, as Shannon entropy quantifies the diversity of values. We show that the metric and permutation entropy rates--measures of new disorder per new observed value--are equal for ergodic finite-alphabet information sources (discrete-time stationary stochastic processes). With this result, we then prove that the same holds for deterministic dynamical systems defined by ergodic maps on $n$% -dimensional intervals. This result generalizes a previous one for piecewise monotone interval maps on the real line (Bandt, Keller and Pompe, "Entropy of interval maps via permutations",\textit{Nonlinearity} \textbf{15}, 1595-602, (2002)), at the expense of requiring ergodicity and using a definition of permutation entropy rate differing in the order of two limits. The case of non-ergodic finite-alphabet sources is also studied and an inequality developed. Finally, the equality of permutation and metric entropy rates is extended to ergodic non-discrete information sources when entropy is replaced by differential entropy in the usual way.
Shame Reassessed: A Literary, Lexical, and Embodied Cognition Approach to Shame in the Hebrew Bible

description: The scholarship on the representation of shame in the Hebrew Bible has tended to elucidate shame in terms of its sociological processes and effect or its psychological profile. While representatives of both approaches take measures to situate the study of shame in the Hebrew Bible against the backdrop of its ancient Near Eastern contexts, many studies assume that shame in the biblical tradition resembles in some measure the subjective experience of self-conscious emotion that defines shame in the modern West. The assumption of an emotion-centered shame rests upon a further assumption of a universal conception of the self that is reflected in modern Western ideas of interiority and subjectivity. This study joins recent biblical scholarship that problematizes the imposition of familiar notions of interiority and emotion onto the biblical text by offering alternative readings of so-called “shame” in the Hebrew Bible. Employing insights from embodied cognition and practice theory of emotion, this study analyzes biblical passages that deploy five primary biblical Hebrew roots identified by scholars as denoting shame (*bwš, *klm, *ḥpr II, *ḥrp II, and *qly/qll). The research aims to uncover how shame was understood in ancient Israel apart from modern subjective notions. By analyzing a broad sampling of relevant passages, this study finds that “shame” in the Hebrew Bible is more about embodied experiences of material devastation, enactments of defeat or diminishment, and impositions of power than internal emotional states.
Islands in an ocean of change : an examination of cultural change in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, through the lives and experiences of its people
Creators: name: Morrison, Donald Anthony

description: Culture is a dynamic entity that changes and adapts over time. However, as our world grows increasingly interconnected, indigenous cultures throughout the world are being assimilated into a 'global' culture, and losing many of the attributes that keep them unique. For instance, the traditional culture of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland is being squeezed between the need for increased development and modernization, and the desire to remain distinct and separate from the cultures of Britain and the world beyond. The Outer Hebrides is an archipelago lying off the northwest coast of Scotland, and is the last stronghold of Gaelic cultural heritage. This thesis examines the cultural changes that have taken place in the Outer Hebrides, as a result of development and modernization throughout the past century. It undertakes this investigation through the eyes of those who have witnessed the changes firsthand, by using research methods that have not yet become common in the planning profession; namely, the use of story and life histories to gather data for further analysis. A quantitative questionnaire was also employed to determine which elements of the traditional culture Hebrideans consider most important, and to provide balance to the qualitative research data. The data generated through the Hebridean field research reveals how the traditional culture of the islands has changed over the decades, and also points to ways that planners can aid development while fostering cultural preservation at the same time. Recommendations for innovative strategies are then made based on the collected data. Ultimately, this thesis reveals that the use of story and life histories represents valid methodology for planning research, while the collected stories from the elderly informants represent an act of cultural preservation on its own.

description: Strong damping-like spin-orbit torque (τDL) has great potential for enabling ultrafast energy-efficient magnetic memories, oscillators, and logic. So far, the reported τDL exerted on a thin-film magnet must result from an externally generated spin current or from an internal non-equilibrium spin polarization in noncentrosymmetric GaMnAs single crystals. Here, we for the first time demonstrate a very strong, unexpected τDL from current flow within ferromagnetic single layers of chemically disordered, face-centered-cubic CoPt. We establish that the novel τDL is a bulk effect, with the strength per unit current density increasing monotonically with the CoPt thickness, and is insensitive to the presence or absence of spin sinks at the CoPt surfaces. This τDL most likely arises from a net transverse spin polarization associated with a strong spin Hall effect (SHE), while there is no detectable long-range asymmetry in the material. These results broaden the scope of spin-orbitronics and provide a novel avenue for developing single-layer-based spin-torque memory, oscillator, and logic technologies.

description: The brain’s ability to process sensory information is rooted in its complex neural architecture. In particular, the primary visual cortex (V1) plays a pivotal role in encoding and interpreting dynamic visual stimuli, such as speed and motion. While extensive research has focused on the encoding of basic receptive field properties like orientation and direction, less attention has been given to how speed is processed in the early stages of the visual pathway. In this dissertation, I explore the functional architecture of speed tuning in the V1 of carnivores, using the ferret as a model system. My findings reveal the presence of speed-tuned neurons organized into discrete clusters, or "hot spots," challenging the traditional view that motion processing, especially for speed, is confined to higher-order visual areas.
description: Beyond my primary research, this dissertation includes contributions to several other projects. I discuss the Neuroscience Data Interface (NDI), a platform-independent database designed to facilitate data sharing and integration across labs, showcasing its utility in analyzing electrophysiological data from the gustatory cortex. I also explore the role of the Shank3 gene mutation in juvenile behavior, providing insights into the neurobiological mechanisms linked to neurodevelopmental disorders like autism. Additionally, I present a pedagogical framework for teaching DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis to undergraduate students, in an attempt to help bridge the gap between advanced research techniques and concepts, and undergraduate education.
description: Together, this dissertation offers new insights into the organization and function of the visual system, providing evidence that the primary visual cortex is more involved in motion processing than previously described.
Jet energy scale and resolution measured in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: Jet energy scale and resolution measurements with their associated uncertainties are reported for jets using 36-81 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data with a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed using two different input types: topo-clusters formed from energy deposits in calorimeter cells, as well as an algorithmic combination of charged-particle tracks with those topo-clusters, referred to as the ATLAS particle-flow reconstruction method. The anti-$k_t$ jet algorithm with radius parameter $R=0.4$ is the primary jet definition used for both jet types. Jets are initially calibrated using a sequence of simulation-based corrections. Next, several $\textit{in situ}$ techniques are employed to correct for differences between data and simulation and to measure the resolution of jets. The systematic uncertainties in the jet energy scale for central jets ($|η|<1.2$) vary from 1% for a wide range of high-$p_{\text{T}}$ jets ($2502.5$ TeV). The relative jet energy resolution is measured and ranges from ($24 \pm 1.5$)% at 20 GeV to ($6 \pm 0.5$)% at 300 GeV.

description: Focusing on the sustainability of transport infrastructure construction projects is complicated by insufficient research into the practice of realizing risks in modern conditions of uncertainty and risk. The main targets of sustainability have been identified. The influence of uncertainty and risks on the sustainability of projects is considered. The concept of a risk-based approach to determining the sustainability of projects within acceptable limits has been developed. Increasing attention of the state and the corporate sector to the study of sustainability of projects in infrastructure construction is identified as a key direction for further research.

"In clouds of myrrh and frankincense" : the song of songs as wisdom poetry
Creators: name: Miller, Margaret Alice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Various interpretive approaches have been taken to the Song of Songs. One current approach views the Song as a lyric poem influenced by the ancient Israelite wisdom tradition. This is the general approach taken in my thesis. However, I introduce wisdom influence in the Song from a different perspective. My perspective on wisdom influence in the Song of Songs flows from an analysis of the poetry of the Song. Aspects of Turner's theory of liminality inspire my method of analysis. It is also informed by the interpretive possibilities of the poem's original Hebrew language and by feminist observations. Five groups of images form the basis of this analysis: images of awakening, dance and encircling, fragrance, blowing winds, and flowing waters. These images are examined for their literal and figurative connotations and followed as they move through the "worlds" of the Song: the natural world, the social world, the world of the lovers and the spiritual world. This method of analysis offers a way to explore the complex and beautiful poetry of the Song of Songs. I suggest that new insights into wisdom influence in the Song may be drawn from this analysis.
Analytic model for a frictional shallow-water undular bore

description: We use the integrable Kaup-Boussinesq shallow water system, modified by a small viscous term, to model the formation of an undular bore with a steady profile. The description is made in terms of the corresponding integrable Whitham system, also appropriately modified by friction. This is derived in Riemann variables using a modified finite-gap integration technique for the AKNS scheme. The Whitham system is then reduced to a simple first-order differential equation which is integrated numerically to obtain an asymptotic profile of the undular bore, with the local oscillatory structure described by the periodic solution of the unperturbed Kaup-Boussinesq system. This solution of the Whitham equations is shown to be consistent with certain jump conditions following directly from conservation laws for the original system. A comparison is made with the recently studied dissipationless case for the same system, where the undular bore is unsteady.

description: Analysis of the surface composition of the suspected cool RV Tauri star CE Vir shows no systematic trend in depletions of elements with respect to condensation temperature. However, there is a significant depletion of the elements with respect to the first ionization potential of the element. The derived Li abundance of log $ε$ (Li) = 1.5$\pm$0.2 indicates production of Li in the star. Near infrared colours indicate sporadic dust formation close to the photosphere.

Coordination of cell division by the sporulation factor SpoIIE
Creators: name: Ryan, Alexis
Publisher: name: Brandeis University

Subjects: Biophysics

description: Rod-shaped bacteria direct cell division by assembling cytoskeletal polymers into a treadmillingring known as the Z-ring at the site of the future septum. The position of this ring and the thickness
description: of the resulting septum are specific to different developmental fates. In the endospore-forming
description: bacterium Bacillus subtilis, the conserved sporulation protein SpoIIE plays a crucial role in
description: repositioning the midcell division machinery toward the cell poles and generating a thin septum.
description: However, the precise mechanisms by which SpoIIE accomplishes this are not fully understood.
description: Using live-cell total internal fluorescence microscopy (TIRFm), we show that SpoIIE moves with
description: the dynamic Z-ring. Through further genetic and biochemical approaches, we identify multiple
description: interactions of SpoIIE, first with midcell placement factors MinC/D and later with the cell wall
description: synthesis regulator DivIB, that are essential for sporulation septum morphology. This work reveals
description: that SpoIIE has dissectible roles in 1) regulating the length of FtsZ filaments within the Z-ring, 2)
description: opposing MinC/D, and 3) promoting cytokinesis. We find that the cytosolic portion of SpoIIE is
description: responsible for Z-ring association and Min opposition, while the large transmembrane domain is
description: required for Z-ring constriction and recruitment of DivIB. In addition to answering longstanding
description: questions about how SpoIIE coordinates asymmetric cell division in sporulation, this work begins
