description: BACKGROUND: The transcriptional activity of estrogen receptor α (ERα) in breast cancer (BC) is extensively characterized. Our group has previously shown that ERα controls the expression of a number of genes in its unliganded form (apoERα), among which a large group of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) encode genes, suggesting its role in the control of co- and post-transcriptional events. METHODS: apoERα-mediated RNA processing events were characterized by the analysis of transcript usage and alternative splicing changes in an RNA-sequencing dataset from MCF-7 cells after siRNA-induced ERα downregulation. RESULTS: ApoERα depletion induced an expression change of 681 RBPs, including 84 splicing factors involved in translation, ribonucleoprotein complex assembly, and 3'end processing. ApoERα depletion results in 758 isoform switching events with effects on 3'end length and the splicing of alternative cassette exons. The functional enrichment of these events shows that post-transcriptional regulation is part of the mechanisms by which apoERα controls epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and BC cell proliferation. In primary BCs, the inclusion levels of the experimentally identified alternatively spliced exons are associated with overall and disease-free survival. CONCLUSION: Our data supports the role of apoERα in maintaining the luminal phenotype of BC cells by extensively regulating gene expression at the alternative splicing level.

description: This paper provides a review of the regional science research employing longitudinal models. Three groups of studies are distinguished. The first group includes studies modelling variations in distance rather than duration. The second group includes studies that focus on spatial behavior in an event history setting. The last group is still in its infancy and casts regional change in a longitudinal perspective. We recommend that methodological advances should focus on designing space-time models that synthesize longitudinal with spatial econometric techniques.
A post-Keplerian parameter to test gravito-magnetic effects in binary pulsar systems

description: We study the pulsar timing, focusing on the time delay induced by the gravitational field of the binary systems. In particular, we study the gravito-magnetic correction to the Shapiro time delay in terms of Keplerian and post-Keplerian parameters, and we introduce a new post-Keplerian parameter which is related to the intrinsic angular momentum of the stars. Furthermore, we evaluate the magnitude of these effects for the binary pulsar systems known so far. The expected magnitude is indeed small, but the effect is important per se.

description: With the first detections of binary neutron star mergers by gravitational-wave detectors, it proves timely to consider how the internal structure of neutron stars affects the way in which they can be asymmetrically deformed. Such deformations may leave measurable imprints on gravitational-wave signals and can be sourced through tidal interactions or the formation of mountains. We detail the formalism that describes fully-relativistic neutron star models with elastic crusts undergoing static perturbations. This formalism primes the problem for studies into a variety of mechanisms that can deform a neutron star. We present results for a barotropic equation of state and a realistic model for the elastic crust, which enables us to compute relevant quantities such as the tidal deformability parameter. We find that the inclusion of an elastic crust provides a very small correction to the tidal deformability. The results allow us to demonstrate when and where the crust starts to fail during a binary inspiral and we find that the majority of the crust will remain intact up until merger.

title: Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Stress and Strain Fields Around Fatigue Cracks and Plasticity-Induced Crack Closure
Creators: name: Rahman, Md. Moshiur
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2008

description: This work investigates experimentally and theoretically the local crack tip stress and strain fields, and plasticity-induced crack closure acting on the crack flanks behind the crack tip, in fine-grained aluminium alloy 5091 (Al-Mg-Li-C-O) compact tension fatigued specimens. Compressive residual stresses ahead of the crack tip and plasticity-induced crack closure are often attributed to be the two main mechanisms responsible for crack growth retardation. Specimens investigated were prepared: with constant amplitude fatigue; with constant amplitude fatigue followed by a single overload; and finally with constant amplitude fatigue followed by a single overload followed by further constant amplitude fatigue. Experimental crack tip strain (and hence stress) measurements have been carried out along the midthickness of the specimens using energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), Grenoble, France. The very small grain size of aluminium alloy 5091 allows minimization of the sampling volume in order to maximize the spatial resolution achievable with EDXRD. High spatial resolution is essential for measuring highly localized crack tip stresses. For theoretical investigations of the crack tip stress and strain fields, existing analytical solution (Westergaard, 1939) and the finite element code ABAQUS (ABAQUS Inc., 2004) have been used. Crack closure has been investigated by finite element analysis and compliance experimental technique. Finite element analyses for both stress fields and crack closure have been carried out in plane stress and plane strain. A possible link between the stresses ahead of the crack tip and the plasticity-induced crack closure on the crack flanks behind the crack tip has been investigated.

description: The aim of this article is to identify the factors which have an influence on the development of contracting of agricultural production. In the paper the author included a discussion on foreign literature in terms of contracting of agricultural production and indicated the vital theories serving to explain the contracting phenomena. In addition, the results of Polish study with regard to contracting were used in the article. One of the main factors which favour the contracting in agricultural households is the growing specialization of production. One of the main factors which disfavor the contracting in agricultural households is the direct payments to cultivation and the growing ability to storage. The main factors of contracting in food industry’s businesses are the willingness to have control over production process and the quality of raw material.

description: We compute the covariance expected between the spherical harmonic coefficients $a_{\ell m}$ of the cosmic microwave temperature anisotropy if the universe had a compact topology. For fundamental cell size smaller than the distance to the decoupling surface, off-diagonal components carry more information than the diagonal components (the power spectrum). We use a maximum likelihood analysis to compare the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe first-year data to models with a cubic topology. The data are compatible with finite flat topologies with fundamental domain $L > 1.2$ times the distance to the decoupling surface at 95% confidence. The WMAP data show reduced power at the quadrupole and octopole, but do not show the correlations expected for a compact topology and are indistinguishable from infinite models.

"Water-free" computer model for fluid bilayer membranes

description: We use a simple and efficient computer model to investigate the physical properties of bilayer membranes. The amphiphilic molecules are modeled as short rigid trimers with finite range pair interactions between them. The pair potentials have been designed to mimic the hydrophobic interactions, and to allow the simulation of the membranes without the embedding solvent as if the membrane is in vacuum. We find that upon decreasing the area density of the molecules the membrane undergoes a solid-fluid phase transition, where in the fluid phase the molecules can diffuse within the membrane plane. The surface tension and the bending modulus of the fluid membranes are extracted from the analysis of the spectrum of thermal undulations. At low area densities we observe the formation of pores in the membrane through which molecules can diffuse from one layer to the other. The appearance of the pores is explained using a simple model relating it to the area dependence of the free energy.

description: Distance education and online delivery of course materials are not new in the United States. However, the sudden mass movement of entire universities online is new. The COVID-19 pandemic forced many universities to move their instruction online, over a weekend in some cases. This article explores the effects on student achievement by estimating a Poisson model of course grade outcomes to find that Spring 2020 term was not statistically significant in its effects on students completing the course, passing the course, and earning an �A� in the course. Graphically analyzed, the data show a possibility of different types of effects for different students, courses, and professors. Further research with more data is needed to understand the effect entirely.

description: Observations of extragalactic objects need to be corrected for Galactic absorption and this is often accomplished by using the measured 21 cm HI column. However, within the beam of the radio telescope there are variations in the HI column that can have important effects in interpreting absorption line studies and X-ray spectra at the softest energies. We examine the HI and DIRBE/IRAS data for lines of sight out of the Galaxy, which show evidence for HI variations in of up to a factor of three in 1 degree fields. Column density enhancements would preferentially absorb soft X-rays in spatially extended objects and we find evidence for this effect in the ROSAT PSPC observations of two bright clusters of galaxies, Abell 119 and Abell 2142. For clusters of galaxies, the failure to include column density fluctuations will lead to systematically incorrect fits to the X-ray data in the sense that there will appear to be a very soft X-ray excess. This may be one cause of the soft X-ray excess in clusters, since the magnitude of the effect is comparable to the observed values.

description: Origami-inspired structures have a rich design space, offering new opportunities for the development of deployable systems that undergo large and complex yet predictable shape transformations. There has been growing interest in such structural systems that can extend uniaxially into tubes and booms. The Kresling origami pattern, which arises from the twist buckling of a thin cylinder and can exhibit multistability, offers great potential for this purpose. However, much remains to be understood regarding the characteristics of Kresling origami deployment. Prior studies have been limited to Kresling structures' kinematics, quasi-static mechanics, or low-amplitude wave responses, while their dynamic behaviors with large shape change during deployment remain unexplored. These dynamics are critical to the system design and control processes, but are complex due to the strong nonlinearity, bistability, and potential for off-axis motions. To advance the state of the art, this research seeks to uncover the deployment dynamics of Kresling structures with various system geometries and operating strategies. A full, six-degree-of-freedom model is developed and employed to provide insight into the axial and off-axis dynamic responses, revealing that the variation of key geometric parameters may lead to regions with qualitatively distinct mechanical responses. Results illustrate the sensitivity of dynamic deployment to changes in initial condition and small variations in geometric design. Further, analyses show how certain geometries and configurations affect the stiffness of various axial and off-axis deformation modes, offering guidance on the design of systems that deploy effectively while mitigating the effects of off-axis disturbances. Overall, the research outcomes suggest the strong potential of Kresling-based designs for deployable systems with robust and tunable performance.

description: That the scalar field theories with no dimensional couplings possess local scale invariance (LSI) via the curvature gauging is utilized to show that the Goldstone boson, released by the spontaneous LSI breakdown, is swallowed by the spacetime curvature in order to generate Newton's constant in the same spirit as the induction of vector boson masses via spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking. For Einstein gravity to be reproduced correctly, the Goldstone boson of spontaneous LSI breaking must be endowed with ghost dynamics. The matter sector, taken to be the standard model spectrum, gains full LSI with the physical Higgs boson acting as the Goldstone boson released by LSI breakdown at the weak scale. The pattern of particle masses is identical to that of the standard model. There are unitary LSI gauges in which either the Goldstone ghost from gravity sector or the Higgs boson from matter sector is eliminated from the spectrum. The heavy right-handed neutrinos as well as softly broken supersymmetry naturally fit into the nonlinearly realized LSI framework.

title: Equity Market and Accounting System in China
Creators: name: Huang, Dai
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: Financial reporting practices have developed rapidly since the establishment of China’s equity market in 1990. More decision-useful accounting information is required by the investors. An understanding and insight of how the development of equity market has influenced the accounting reform is important in facilitating international convergence of accounting standards and practices. This study investigates the influence of the equity market on accounting reform in China. In this study, I hypothesize that the requirement for the decision-usefulness of accounting information disclosure is the main motivation for the development of the CAS. I analyze the problems of accounting information derived from the immature equity market by identifying the three issues: (1) special ownership structures, (2) weak corporate governance mechanism of the listed companies, and (3) the segmentation of the equity market. Examples are given to present the unreliability of accounting information through accounting manipulation and even financial frauds, and the lack of understandability and comparability of accounting information across countries. Finally, I discuss the responses of accounting reform to the requirement for accounting information derived from equity market from two aspects: (1) narrowing the gaps of accounting practices between the CAS and the IAS and (2) regulations of and requirements for information disclosure.

description: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive and label-free technique widely used in medical diagnosis and life science research, and its success has benefited greatly from continuing efforts on enhancing contrast and resolution. Here we reported nanoscale MRI in a single cell using an atomic-size quantum sensor. With nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond, the intracellular protein ferritin has been imaged with a spatial resolution of ~ 10 nanometers, and ferritin-containing organelles were co-localized by correlative MRI and electron microscopy. Comparing to the current micrometer resolution in current state-of-art conventional MRI, our approach represents a 100-fold enhancement, and paves the way for MRI of intracellular proteins.

description: We present a new $(p - 1)$-brane solution to Einstein's equations in a general space-time dimension. This solution is a natural generalization of the stringlike defect solution with codimension 2 in 6 space-time dimensions, which has been recently discovered by Gogberashvili and Singleton, to a general $(p - 1)$-brane solution with codimension $n$ in general $D = p + n$ space-time dimensions. It is shown that all the local fields are localized on the brane only through the gravitational interaction although this solution does not have a warp factor and takes a finite value in the radial infinity. Thus, this solution is a solution in an arbitrary space-time dimension realizing the idea of "gravitational trapping" of the whole bulk fields on the brane within the framework of a local field theory. Some problems associated with this solution and localization are pointed out.

Absence of equilibrium edge currents in theoretical models of topological insulators

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The low energy sector of 2D and 3D topological insulators (TIs) exhibits propagating edge states, which has speculated the existence of equilibrium edge currents or edge spin currents. We demonstrate that if the low energy sector of TIs is regularized in a straightforward manner into a square or cubic lattice, then the current from the edge states is in fact canceled out exactly by that from the valence bands, rendering no edge current. This result serves as a warning that for any equilibrium property of topological insulators, the contribution from the valence bands should not be overlooked. In these regularized lattice model, there is a finite edge current only if the Dirac point of the edge states is shifted away from the chemical potential, for instance by doping, impurities, edge confining potential, surface band bending, or gate voltage. The edge current in small quantum dots as a function of the gate voltage is quantized, and the edge current can flow out of the gated region up to the decay length of the edge state.

description: BACKGROUND: Using two large datasets from Dorset, we previously reported an internally validated multivariable risk model for predicting the risk of GI malignancy in IDA-the IDIOM score. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to validate the IDIOM model using two independent external datasets. METHODS: The external validation datasets were collected, in a secondary care setting, by different investigators from cohorts in Oxford and Sheffield derived under different circumstances, comprising 1117 and 474 patients with confirmed IDA respectively. The data were anonymised prior to analysis. The predictive performance of the original model was evaluated by estimating measures of calibration, discrimination and clinical utility using the validation datasets. RESULTS: The discrimination of the original model using the external validation data was 70% (95% CI 65, 75) for the Oxford dataset and 70% (95% CI 61, 79) for the Sheffield dataset. The analysis of mean, weak, flexible and across the risk groups' calibration showed no tendency for under or over-estimated risks in the combined validation data. Decision curve analysis demonstrated the clinical value of the IDIOM model with a net benefit that is higher than 'investigate all' and 'investigate no-one' strategies up to a threshold of 18% in the combined validation data, using a risk cut-off of around 1.2% to categorise patients into the very low risk group showed that none of the patients stratified in this risk group proved to have GI cancer on investigation in the validation datasets. CONCLUSION: This external validation exercise has shown promising results for the IDIOM model in predicting the risk of underlying GI malignancy in independent IDA datasets collected in different clinical settings.

title: A Study of Function Evaluation

Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1973

description: This thesis is concerned with an investigation into the techniques of function evaluation as used in symbol manipulation. The overall objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of constructing a programming system in which the performance of function evaluations improves in efficiency as a result of information provided by the user and gathered by the system as a result of previous evaluations. The approach to this problem is to construct a mechanism which allows the user and the system to work together to build up “useful properties of functions". The properties which are expressed in the form of relations between the function, its arguments and its corresponding function values, are used to improve the performance of function evaluations. Various programming systems, each incorporating a particular set of facilities designed to improve the performance of function evaluation, are constructed and their performance relative to each other and relative to the underlying host system analysed. From the analysis of the experimental results, conclusions are drawn about those facilities which should be included in the design of a general purpose symbol manipulation system. The present work is based on the assumption that by providing all the facilities within an interactive environment, the user can guide the course of an evaluation and thus improve the performance of the evaluation. This assumption, which is based on the assertion that no programming system can currently match the power of its human user to recognise “significant" and “useful" items of information, leads to an interactive symbol manipulation system being chosen as the host system for the investigation. A number of the results obtained are applicable to the design of other types of programming systems.

description: Cooperative extension has had to adapt communication and outreach efforts for the past several years because of changes in funding, technology, farmer demographics, and overall industry demands and needs. Given decreasing resources, effective program planning is necessary to optimize output and impact. The Michigan State University Extension Beef Team conducted a needs assessment using an online producer survey. As an interdisciplinary team, the Beef Team was able to address all facets of the Michigan beef industry. Specifically, agricultural economists contributed to the needs assessment with core economic concepts, as well as survey design and analysis. Upon data collection, producers identified marketing, profitability, and animal health as the biggest challenges facing their operations in the next 5 to 10 years. The Beef Team utilized these results for program planning and to make staffing recommendations to administration.

description: Agrilus geminus sp. nov.
 (Fig. 8)
 Etimologia: geminus = gêmeo, pela semelhança e a simpatria com A. eversor.
Comprimento 7,7 mm. Fronte acentuadamente sulcada com dois lobos arredondados na parte superior, ao longo da margem interna dos olhos; pubescência amarela em volta dos lobos, na base da fronte e no clípeo. Clípeo sem carena transversal. Antenas bronzeadas, lobadas a partir do antenômero IV. Genas grandes, revestidas por pubescência branca. Carena pré-umeral interrompida nos 2/3. Carenas marginais soldadas antes do ângulo posterior. Mentoneira com margem anterior amplamente sinuada. Processo prosternal romboidal, dilatado no ápice. Laterotegitos com pubescência amarelada. Lado inferior do corpo preto com reflexos bronzeados; urosternitos com linha contínua de pubescência mediana. Pernas concolores; unhas anteriores bífidas, medianas e posteriores denticuladas. Metatarso tão longo quanto a metatíbia (I> II + III + IV). Edeago fino, com perfil ligeiramente sinuado no meio. Lobo mediano acuminado (Fig. 21).
 Descrição dos parátipos: Comprimento 6,7-8 mm. Os machos possuem a fronte verde, as fêmeas pretas. Um parátipo ♂ possui o metatarso mais curto que a metatíbia, similar à ♀.
 Material tipo: Holótipo ♂: BRASIL, Santa Catarina, Anita Garibaldi, I.1942, Dirings, (MZUSP). Parátipos: 5 ♂♂ e 1 ♀, idem, XI.1951, II.1952 (MZUSP & MCCI).
 Discussão: A. geminus sp. nov. pode ser facilmente confundido com A. eversor Kerremans, 1903, do qual é simpátrico. Todavia, a fronte de A. eversor é lisa, pouco sulcada e desprovida dos lobos arredondados. Dorsalmente difere pelo ápice elitral arredondado e microdenticulado, enquanto em A. eversor o ápice possui sempre um dente proeminente pequeno. Ventralmente os urosternitos de A. eversor possuem uma pubescência branca dos lados do segundo e a faixa mediana termina no primeiro, enquanto a processo prosternal tem lados paralelos. Em relação aos órgãos genitais, o lobo mediano do edeago de A. geminus é mais acuminado.
 Também A. subinflatus Kerremans, 1899 da Argentina (Gran Chaco) é muito semelhante, apresenta o pronoto mais largo na base do que no ápice, com margens laterais retas, não sinuaosas nos ângulos posteriores.

description: The Skyrme energy density functional has been applied to the study of heavy-ion fusion reactions. The barriers for fusion reactions are calculated by the Skyrme energy density functional with proton and neutron density distributions determined by using restricted density variational (RDV) method within the same energy density functional together with semi-classical approach known as the extended semi-classical Thomas-Fermi method. Based on the fusion barrier obtained, we propose a parametrization of the empirical barrier distribution to take into account the multi-dimensional character of real barrier and then apply it to calculate the fusion excitation functions in terms of barrier penetration concept. A large number of measured fusion excitation functions spanning the fusion barriers can be reproduced well. The competition between suppression and enhancement effects on sub-barrier fusion caused by neutron-shell-closure and excess neutron effects is studied.

description: Rural communities often combine quantitative and qualitative approaches to determine which investments can be supported by the local economy. In this case study, the goal of an economic development council (EDC) in rural Kansas was to promote economic and population growth by making the best use of the local resources. From a list of potential investment projects, the EDC identified a high-speed grain-handling installation as an opportunity to facilitate local economic growth. A community leader then had to determine whether an investment in such a facility was financially feasible for the community. This case study emphasizes the applied financial analysis methods used to make investment decisions about rural projects. It presumes a variable mix of historical grain prices and local grain production to project the most likely profit outcome. Thus, it helps inform investment decision of the EDC and county commissioners.

description: ABSTRACT
My article responds to Louise Perry’s “Time to Stop Using Suicide for Political Point-Scoring.” Ms.Perry writes about men committing suicide. Her conclusion is that men, and men’s Rights Activists(MRAs), are using the gender suicide gap as a means of scoring political points against feministsand feminism (as opposed to being a genuine effort solve the problem of the gender suicide gap).
Ms. Perry implies that men are at fault for the gender suicide gap and men committing suicide. Herarticle is premised on fiction and myth about male suicide currently in fashion amongintersectional feminists. My article addresses some of those misconceptions, providing informationabout the realities of the gender suicide gap and realities about men committing suicide.

description: Being one of the most common dermatological inflammatory disorders, psoriasis is a frequent subject of research. It is considered to be a T cell-dependent immune disease whose pathogenesis is influenced by cytokines, such as IL-10, IL-17A, IL-17RA, IL-23A and IL-23R. The present study examines whether the expression of selected genes is correlated with the clinical course of psoriasis, assessed by the PASI, BSA and DLQI scales. Skin biopsies and blood from 60 patients with psoriasis and 24 healthy controls were obtained for RNA isolation. These were subjected to RT-PCR for IL-10, IL-17A, IL-17RA, IL-23A and IL-23R genes. The results were presented as an RQ value. IL-17A and IL-23R expression levels were higher in psoriatic skin compared to controls, while IL-10 expression was lower. A positive correlation was also found between RQ for IL-23A and PASI index. Psoriatic skin is characterised by elevated expression of IL-17A and IL-23R and decreased expression of IL-10. This indicates that the selected cytokines may be one of the factors involved in the pathogenesis and pathomechanism of psoriasis, but more studies need to be made before we can elucidate the exact reason for the unbalance in cytokine expression levels.

description: The rapidity-dependent jet veto observables $\mathcal{T}_{Bj}$ and $\mathcal{T}_{Cj}$ provide a tight jet veto at central rapidity, gradually transitioning to a loose veto at forward rapidities. They divide the phase space into exclusive jet bins in a different way to the traditional jet veto observable $p_{Tj}$, and are advantageous to use under harsh pile-up conditions. We obtain predictions for the $0$-jet gluon-fusion (ggF) Higgs cross section using both of these veto observables at NNLL$'+$NNLO, and compare these predictions to the prior state-of-the-art of NLL$'+$NLO. A significant reduction in perturbative uncertainty is observed going from NLL$'+$NLO to NNLL$'+$NNLO, with the NNLL$'+$NNLO predictions lying inside the uncertainty band of the NLL$'+$NLO predictions. We also investigate the relative sensitivities of ggF Higgs cross sections with $\mathcal{T}_{Bj}$, $\mathcal{T}_{Cj}$ and $p_{Tj}$ jet vetoes to underlying event and hadronisation effects using an NLO+parton shower calculation. We find that the cross sections with $\mathcal{T}_{Bj}$ and $\mathcal{T}_{Cj}$ vetoes have a reduced sensitivity to underlying event and hadronisation effects compared to that with a $p_{Tj}$ veto.

description: We present a neuro-mathematical model for geometrical optical illusions (GOIs), a class of illusory phenomena that consists in a mismatch of geometrical properties of the visual stimulus and its associated percept. They take place in the visual areas V1/V2 whose functional architecture have been modelled in previous works by Citti and Sarti as a Lie group equipped with a sub-Riemannian (SR) metric. Here we extend their model proposing that the metric responsible for the cortical connectivity is modulated by the modelled neuro-physiological response of simple cells to the visual stimulus, hence providing a more biologically plausible model that takes into account a presence of visual stimulus. Illusory contours in our model are described as geodesics in the new metric. The model is confirmed by numerical simulations, where we compute the geodesics via SR-Fast Marching.

description: The state of stress directly influences several key aspects of unconventional oil and gas development, including both the ideal orientation for drilling horizontal wells and the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing stimulations. Over the past several years, the Stanford Stress Group has collected more than 600 new maximum horizontal principal stress (SHmax) orientations across North America as well as 1900 hundred estimates of the relative magnitude of the three principal stresses utilizing earthquake focal plane mechanisms. In this presentation, we will discuss these “new generation” stress maps, paying particular attention to the stress state in major unconventional oil- and gas-producing basins.
