Ambrosiophilus wilderi

description: Ambrosiophilus wilderi (Beeson) comb. nov.
 Xyleborus wilderi Beeson, 1929: 235.
 Ambrosiodmus wilderi (Beeson): Wood & Bright 1992: 681.
 Xyleborus upoluensis Schedl, 1951: 152. Synonymy: Beaver 1976: 542.
 Hulcr & Cognato (2009) described the genus Ambrosiophilus for species of Ambrosiodmus Hopkins and Xyleborus Eichhoff that had a flat pronotal disc that lacked asperities, an antennal club type 3 (see Hulcr et al. 2007) that is flattened and rounded, and a steep declivity. Beaver (1976) reports that galleries of this species were closely associated with galleries of Beaverium swezeyi (Beeson), indicating possible mycocleptoparasitism, an ecological characteristic of Ambrosiophilus (Hulcr & Cognato 2010). Wood & Bright (1992) list this species in Ambrosiodmus. The species has the generic characters of Ambrosiophilus and is here transferred to that genus.
 Beeson (1929) described X. wilderi based on specimens from Fagasa and Pago Pago on Tutuila. X. upoluensis Schedl (1951a) from Upolu was synonymized with wilderi by Beaver (1976). This species is endemic to the Samoan islands and Fiji.

description: We test the ability of the numerical action method (NAM) to recover the individual orbit histories of mass tracers in an expanding universe in a region of radius 26Mpc/h, given the masses and redshift-space coordinates at the present epoch. The mass tracers are represented by dark matter haloes identified in a high resolution N-body simulation of the standard LCDM cosmology. Since previous tests of NAM at this scale have traced the underlying distribution of dark matter particles rather than extended haloes, our study offers an assessment of the accuracy of NAM in a scenario which more closely approximates the complex dynamics of actual galaxy haloes. We show that NAM can recover present-day halo distances with typical errors of less than 3 per cent, compared to 5 per cent errors assuming Hubble flow distances. The total halo mass and the linear bias were both found to be constained at the 50 per cent level. The accuracy of individual orbit reconstructions was limited by the inability of NAM, in some instances, to correctly model the positions of haloes at early times solely on the basis of the redshifts, angular positions, and masses of the haloes at the present epoch. Improvements in the quality of NAM reconstructions may be possible using the present-day three-dimensional halo velocities and distances to further constrain the dynamics. This velocity data is expected to become available for nearby galaxies in the coming generations of observations by SIM and GAIA.

description: Gauge theories in various dimensions often admit discrete theta angles, that arise from gauging a global symmetry with an additional symmetry protected topological (SPT) phase. We discuss how the global symmetry and 't Hooft anomaly depends on the discrete theta angles by coupling the gauge theory to a topological quantum field theory (TQFT). We observe that gauging an Abelian subgroup symmetry, that participates in symmetry extension, with an additional SPT phase leads to a new theory with an emergent Abelian symmetry that also participates in a symmetry extension. The symmetry extension of the gauge theory is controlled by the discrete theta angle which comes from the SPT phase. We find that discrete theta angles can lead to two-group symmetry in 4d QCD with $SU(N),SU(N)/\mathbb{Z}_k$ or $SO(N)$ gauge groups as well as various 3d and 2d gauge theories.

description: In spite of professional and political support for cooperatives in West Africa, their record of accomplishments is very spotty. Advocates of cooperatives have been blamed for not tailoring the movement to the needs, social practices, and orientations of traditional societies. In this paper, an attempt is made to show how indigenous groups can be organized to improve the coordination of traditional groups, local governments, financial institutions, and aid donors. Village cooperatives, called "Groupement Villageois," in southern Senegal were allowed to organize their own business affairs. Credit was provided to the cooperative group by the development agency. Cooperative activities were structured around cultural norms, village traditions, and production systems, rather than merely Rochdale principles. The village chief and elders were responsible for linkages and contacts with external entities. The whole village, and not just individual members, was responsible for credit, marketing, and distribution. After two years of operation, cooperative repayment of credit funds averaged 90 percent. Input use of food crops had increased and member contributions to cooperative equity were on the rise. Applications of this cooperative model were expanding rapidly throughout the region.

One possible consequence would be new effects in ν_μ \to ν_{e} oscillations, characterized by an energy-dependent effective mixing angle Θ_{13}. Future experiments such as T2K and NOvA, and perhaps even the current MINOS experiment, could look for these effects.

Mutant huntingtin enhanced sensitivity to N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-mediated excitotoxicity
Creators: name: Zeron, Melinda M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Previous work suggests N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activation may be involved in degeneration of medium spiny striatal neurons in Huntington's disease (HD). Here, we determined whether expression of huntingtin (htt) containing the polyglutamine expansion augments NMDAR-mediated excitotoxicity. First, human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells co-expressing mutant huntingtin (htt-138Q) and either NR1A/NR2A- or NR1 A/NR2B-type NMDARs exposed to 1 mM NMDA showed a significant increase in excitotoxic cell death compared to controls [cells co-expressing htt-15Q or green fluorescent protein (GFP)], but the difference was larger for NR1A/NR2B. Moreover, agonist-dependent cell death showed apoptotic features for cells co-expressing htt-138Q and NR1A/NR2B, but not for cells expressing htt-138Q and NR1A/NR2A. Furthermore, NRlA/NR2B-mediated apoptosis was not seen with co-expression of an N-terminal fragment of mutant htt. Since NR1A/NR2B is the predominant NMDAR subtype in neostriatal medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs), we hypothesized that enhancement of NMDA-induced apoptotic death in NRlA/NR2B-expressing cells by full-length mutant htt may contribute to selective neurodegeneration in HD. To test this hypothesis we compared NMDAR-induced cell death in striatal neurons from a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) transgenic mouse model of HD expressing full-length mutant huntingtin with striatal neurons from the same strain of wild-type mice. Excitotoxic death of MSNs from the transgenic mice was increased after NMDA but not AMPA. NMDAR-mediated cell death was completely blocked by the NR2B subtype-selective antagonist ifenprodil, and was also associated with increased caspase-3 activity relative to wildtype (WT) MSNs. Importantly, there was no enhancement of NMDAR-mediated cell death in cerebellar granule neurons expressing mutant huntingtin, demonstrating cell type specificity and also consistent with NMDAR subtype specificity. Although caspase-3 can cleave huntingtin to form smaller fragments we did not observe an increase in the proteolysis of huntingtin after exposure to NMDA in WT or mutant htt expressing striatal cultures. Enhanced mitochondrial membrane depolarization and intracellular calcium levels were observed upon NMDAR application in MSNs expressing mutant htt. NMDAR excitotoxicity was partially inhibited by application of cyclosporin A in MSNs, and inhibition was greater in MSNs from transgenic mice than WT mice. Together, our data support a role for NR2B-subtype NMDAR activation as an upstream trigger for mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase-3 activation. These results may help explain selective neuronal degeneration in HD.

description: In the event that R-Parity conserving supersymmetry (SUSY) is discovered at the LHC, a key issue which will need to be addressed will be the consistency of that signal with astrophysical and non-accelerator constraints on SUSY Dark Matter. This issue is studied for the SPA benchmark model based on measurements of end-points and thresholds in the invariant mass spectra of various combinations of leptons and jets. These measurements are used to constrain the soft SUSY breaking parameters at the electroweak scale in a general MSSM model. Based on these constraints, we assess the accuracy with which the Dark Matter relic density can be measured.

description: This paper uses the Nerlovian partial adjustment model to test the hypothesis that the rate of a cooperative's adjustment to a desired financial position is partially determined by its management practices. The results indicate that management practices that are board responsibilities are not contributing to the speed of adjustment in reaching the desired financial performance, which is the responsibility of the board of directors. But management, when independently pursuing management's responsibility or when working with that board on shared responsibility, does contribute to the speed of adjustment toward the desired financial goal.

description: We present a map of 12CO J=6-5 emission of the nuclear region of the nearby starburst galaxy M82 at resolution 7" taken with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). This is the highest resolution map yet available at this transition. A detailed quantitative comparison is made with emission at 12CO J=1-0 at the same resolution yielding new insights into the excitation of molecular gas in this galaxy. The excitation is found to be highest in the central area of the starburst region where the ratio r_61 = 12CO J=6-5/12CO J=1-0 is as high as 0.5, compared to the mean value over the starburst region of 0.24. The excitation ratio peaks along the inner edge of the molecular ring outlined by atomic and molecular gas at lower excitation, and also in two spurs extending northward from the disk toward the outflow associated with the supwerwind. Emission with higher than avarage excitation is also found to be associated with the supershell surrounding the luminous SNR candidate 41.9+58, and possibly on a larger scale in gas whose orbits are strongly influenced by the stellar bar. The higher excitation in M82 is likely to be caused predominantly by local increases in kinetic temperature and/or geometric filling factor of a pre-existing higher excitation component, and less likely to be caused by local increases in gas density.

description: We present a novel approach to construct a color tagger, i.e. an observable that is able to discriminate the decay of a color-singlet into two jets from a two-jet background in a different color configuration. We do this by explicitly taking the ratio of the corresponding leading-order matrix elements in the soft limit, thus obtaining an observable that is provably optimal within our approximation. We call this observable the "jet color ring" and we compare its performance to other color-sensitive observables such as jet pull and dipolarity. We also assess the performance of the jet color ring in simulations by applying it to the case of the hadronic decays of a boosted Higgs boson and of an electroweak boson.

description: The understanding of cooperative behavior in social systems has been the subject of intense research over the past decades. In this regard, the theoretical models used to explain cooperation in human societies have been complemented with a growing interest in experimental studies to validate the proposed mechanisms. In this work, we rely on previous experimental findings to build a theoretical model based on two cooperation driving mechanisms: second-order reputation and memory. Specifically, taking the Donation Game as a starting point, the agents are distributed among three strategies, namely Unconditional Cooperators, Unconditional Defectors, and Discriminators, where the latter follow a second-order assessment rule: Shunning, Stern Judging, Image Scoring, or Simple Standing. A discriminator will cooperate if the evaluation of the recipient's last actions contained in his memory is above a threshold of (in)tolerance. In addition to the dynamics inherent to the game, another imitation dynamics, involving much longer times (generations), is introduced. The model is approached through a mean-field approximation that predicts the macroscopic behavior observed in Monte Carlo simulations. We found that, while in most second-order assessment rules, intolerance hinders cooperation, it has the opposite (positive) effect under the Simple Standing rule. Furthermore, we show that, when considering memory, the Stern Judging rule shows the lowest values of cooperation, while stricter rules show higher cooperation levels.

description: A comparative ratio analysis using nonparametric statistical methods provides no evidence to support the hypothesis that U.S. farmer cooperatives generally are financially weaker than other firms. Although some cooperative groups had lower current ratios than industry standards, most of these groups consisted of marketing associations for which differences may be explained largely by the unique business relationships between the associations and their patrons. Comparisons of debt/equity ratios indicate that, except for regional grain and farm supply associations, cooperatives generally are less leveraged than other firms. The overall financial strength of cooperatives appears better than during the early 1980s.

description: By means of population synthesis we model the Galactic ensemble of helium stars. It is assumed that all helium stars are formed in binaries. Under this assumption, single helium stars are produced by the mergers of helium remnants of components of close binaries (mainly, by merging helium white dwarfs) and by disruption of binaries with helium components in supernovae explosions. The estimate of the total birthrate of helium stars in the Galaxy is 0.043 yr$^{-1}$, their total number is estimated as $4 \times 10^6$. The rate of binarity in the total sample is 76%. We construct a subsample of low-mass ($M_{\rm He} \lesssim 2 \ms$) helium stars limited by observational selection effects: stellar magnitude ($V_{\rm He} \leq 16$), ratio of stellar magnitudes of components in binaries ($V_{\rm He}\leq V_{\rm comp}$), lower limit of the semiamplitude of radial velocity that is necessary for discovery of binarity ($K_{min}=30$ km/s). The parameters of this ``observable'' sample are in satisfactory agreement with the parameters of the observed ensemble of sdB stars. In particular, in the selection-limited sample binarity rate is 58%. We analyze the relations between orbital periods and masses of helium stars and their companions in systems with different combinations of components. We expect that overwhelming majority ($\sim 90$%) of unobserved components in binary sdB stars are white dwarfs, predominantly, carbon-oxygen ones.

description: We study the relationship between the mid-infrared and sub-mm variability of deeply embedded protostars using the multi-epoch data from the Wide Infrared Survey Explorer ($WISE$/NEOWISE) and the ongoing James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) transient survey. Our search for signs of stochastic (random) and/or secular (roughly monotonic in time) variability in a sample of 59 young stellar objects (YSOs) revealed that 35 are variable in at least one of the two surveys. This variability is dominated by secular changes. Of those objects with secular variability, 14 objects ($22\%$ of the sample) show correlated secular variability over mid-IR and sub-mm wavelengths. Variable accretion is the likely mechanism responsible for this type of variability. Fluxes of YSOs that vary in both wavelengths follow a relation of $\log_{10} F_{4.6}(t)=η\log_{10} F_{850}(t)$ between the mid-IR and sub-mm, with $η=5.53\pm0.29$. This relationship arises from the fact that sub-mm fluxes respond to the dust temperature in the larger envelope whereas the mid-IR emissivity is more directly proportional to the accretion luminosity. The exact scaling relation, however, depends on the structure of the envelope, the importance of viscous heating in the disc, and dust opacity laws.

Apart from some small counterexamples, when a term has a primitive divisor, that primitive divisor is unique. It seems likely that the number of terms with a primitive divisor has a natural density. We discuss two heuristic arguments to suggest a value for that density, one using recent advances made about the distribution of roots of polynomial congruences.

description: The scattering cancellation technique (SCT) has proved to be an effective way to render static objects invisible to electromagnetic and acoustic waves. However, rotating cylindrical or spherical objects possess additional peculiar scattering features that cannot be cancelled by regular SCT-based cloaks. Here, a generalized SCT theory to cloak spinning objects, and hide them from static observers, based on rotating shells with different angular velocity is discussed. This concept is analytically and numerically demonstrated in the case of cylinders, showing that generalized SCT operates efficiently in making rotating objects appear static to an external observer. Our proposal extends the realm of SCT, and brings it one step closer to its practical realization that involves moving objects.

description: We analyze the effects of imbalancing the populations of two-component trapped fermions, in the BEC limit of the attractive interaction between different fermions. Starting from the gap equation with two fermionic chemical potentials, we derive a set of coupled equations that describe composite bosons and excess fermions. We include in these equations the processes leading to the correct dimer-dimer and dimer-fermion scattering lengths. The coupled equations are then solved in the Thomas-Fermi approximation to obtain the density profiles for composite bosons and excess fermions, which are relevant to the recent experiments with trapped fermionic atoms

description: Agri-environmental programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, provide payments to livestock and crop producers to generate broadly defined environmental benefits and to help them comply with federal water quality regulations, such as those that require manure nutrients generated on large animal feeding operations to be spread on cropland at no greater than agronomic rates. We couch these policy options in terms of agri-environmental "carrots" and regulatory "sticks," respectively. The U.S. agricultural sector is likely to respond to these policies in a variety of ways. Simulation analysis suggests that meeting nutrient standards would result in decreased levels of animal production, increased prices for livestock and poultry products, increased levels of crop production, and water quality improvements. However, estimated impacts are not homogeneous across regions. In regions with relatively less cropland per ton of manure produced, the impacts of these policies are more pronounced.

description: Many conservation programs under the 2002 Farm Act address resource concerns such as water quality and aquatic communities in streams. Analyzing two such programs, simulated changes in agricultural practices decreased field-edge sediment losses by 25S31% in two geophysically distinct Minnesota watersheds. However, while in-stream sediment concentrations and lethal fisheries events decreased significantly in one watershed, there was no discernable improvement for the fisheries in the other, despite potentially spending over $100,000 annually in conservation payments. These results highlight the importance of performance-based conservation payments targeted to genuine resource concerns in watersheds and the value of integrated bioeconomic modeling of conservation programs.

description: This paper deals with the comparison between thermal and Fission Enhanced Diffusion (FED) of uranium into zirconia, representative of the inner face of cladding tubes. The experiments under irradiation are performed at the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble using the Lohengrin spectrometer. A thin $^{235}UO\_2$ layer in direct contact with an oxidized zirconium foil is irradiated in the ILL high flux reactor. The fission product flux is about 10$^{11}$ ions cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ and the target temperature is measured by an IR pyrometer. A model is proposed to deduce an apparent uranium diffusion coefficient in zirconia from the energy distribution broadening of two selected fission products. It is found to be equal to 10$^{-15}$ cm$^2$ s$^{-1}$ at 480$\circ$C and compared to uranium thermal diffusion data in ZrO$\_2$ in the same pressure and temperature conditions. The FED results are analysed in comparison with literature data.

Are Green Payments Good for the Environment?

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2004
Subjects: Environmental Economics and Policy

description: There is growing interest in green payments subsidizing conservation measures on working farmland based on the premise that they have positive effects on the environment and agriculture simultaneously without causing international trade distortions. This paper uses a Ricardian land market equilibrium model to examine the impacts of green payments. The analysis shows green payments can worsen ambient pollution damage by subsidizing the expansion of more intensive crop cultivation. Some forms of green can increase cultivation intensity (and thus environmental damage) as well. These adverse effects can be avoided by careful targeting, but such targeting is likely to be quite difficult.

description: We present a fully Bayesian approach for the inference of radial profiles of impurity transport coefficients and compare its results to neoclassical, gyrofluid and gyrokinetic modeling. Using nested sampling, the Bayesian Impurity Transport InferencE (BITE) framework can handle complex parameter spaces with multiple possible solutions, offering great advantages in interpretative power and reliability with respect to previously demonstrated methods. BITE employs a forward model based on the pySTRAHL package, built on the success of the well-known STRAHL code [Dux, IPP Report, 2004], to simulate impurity transport in magnetically-confined plasmas. In this paper, we focus on calcium (Ca, Z=20) Laser Blow-Off injections into Alcator C-Mod plasmas. Multiple Ca atomic lines are diagnosed via high-resolution X-ray Imaging Crystal Spectroscopy and Vacuum Ultra-Violet measurements. We analyze a sawtoothing I-mode discharge for which neoclassical and turbulent (quasilinear and nonlinear) predictions are also obtained. We find good agreement in diffusion across the entire radial extent, while turbulent convection and density profile peaking are estimated to be larger in experiment than suggested by theory. Efforts and challenges associated with the inference of experimental pedestal impurity transport are discussed.

Some Hard Truths About Agriculture and the Environment

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2004
Subjects: Environmental Economics and Policy

description: Environmental problems in agriculture have proven difficult to address due to the spatial heterogeneity and temporal variability intrinsic to agriculture. Agriculture is largely a struggle against nature; both its sustainability and the prospects for improving environmental performance and farm income simultaneously are thus inherently limited. Agriculture's high degree of variability makes direct regulation inefficient. Subsidies for improving environmental performance can have negative consequences and have proven ineffective in practice, due largely to bureaucratic culture. Pollution taxes should be the most effective and efficient form of policy. Interdisciplinary research is needed to provide models for performance evaluation.

Using Sciences to Improve the Economic Efficiency of Conservation Policies

description: In the last 20 years, both public and private expenditures on resource conservation and environmental protection have increased dramatically. However, there are numerous technical and political barriers to the efficient use of conservation funds. This paper discusses some of these barriers and approaches to overcoming them. It argues that ecosystem complexities such as threshold effects, ecosystem linkages, and spatial connections often mitigate against politically palatable criteria for resource allocation. Ignoring these complexities is likely to result in substantial efficiency losses. While challenges are daunting for the efficient management of conservation investments, payoff is potentially high for the use of sciences.

description: The dynamics of a particle interacting with random classical field in a two-well potential is studied by the functional integration method. The probability of particle localization in either of the wells is studied in detail. Certain field-averaged correlation functions for quantum-mechanical probabilities and the distribution function for the probabilities of final states (which can be considered as random variables in the presence of a random field) are calculated. The calculated correlators are used to discuss the dependence of the final state on the initial state. One of the main results of this work is that, although the off-diagonal elements of density matrix disappear with time, a particle in the system is localized incompletely (wave-packet reduction does not occur), and the distribution function for the probability of finding particle in one of the wells is a constant at infinite time.
