Coronatella acuticostata

description: 21. Coronatella (Coronatella) acuticostata (Sars, 1903)
Localities and specimens found: 15 – 1♀; 16 – 1♀, 1♀ em; 32 – 1♀; 33 – 1♀, 1♀ ov; 65 – 8♀, 3♀ ov, 1♀ em, 2♂, 1j.
Distribution and ecology. Coronella acuticostata is the current name of one of the Oriental representatives of the genus (Sinev 2016, 2017). The species is rather common in most countries of Southeast Asia, India and Southern China, where it was previously recorded under a number of synonymous names: Alona monacantha (or A. cf. monacantha) Sars, 1901, A. monacantha tridentata Stingelin, 1905, A. acuticostata var. tridentata Stingelin, 1905, Coronatella monacantha (or C. cf. monacantha) (Sars, 1901), C. monacantha tridentata (Stingelin, 1905) (Idris & Fernando 1981; Rajapaksa & Fernando 1982a; Idris 1983; Michael & Sharma 1988; Sanoamuang 1998; Maiphae et al. 2005, 2008; Tanaka & Ohtaka 2010; Van Damme et al. 2010, 2013; Chatterjee et al. 2013; Korovchinsky 2013; Kotov et al. 2013b; Sinev et al. 2015; Sinev & Yusoff 2015; Sinev 2016; Sharma & Sharma 2017; Tiang-nga et al. 2020; Choedchim & Maiphae 2023). In Vietnam, this crustacean was earlier reported as Alona monacantha (Shirota 1966; Duong et al. 2008; Dang & Ho 2001; Dang et al. 2002), A. cf. monacantha (Gusakov et al. 2014) or Coronatella cf. monacantha (Sinev & Korovchinsky 2013).
Sinev (2016) classifies C. acuticostata as a littoral species associated with vegetation. So far, this chydorid has been detected in different water bodies, mainly permanent: lakes, reservoirs, ponds, mining pools, rice fields, marshes, rivers, streams, drains (Idris 1983; Sanoamuang 1998; Dang & Ho 2001; Tanaka & Ohtaka 2010; Sinev & Korovchinsky 2013; Sinev & Yusoff 2015; Sinev et al. 2015; Gogoi et al. 2018; Choedchim & Maiphae 2023). We encountered several individuals of this species in overgrown and vegetation-free biotopes of natural lakes and in a temporary roadside pool (see Appendix 1).
Remarks. The distribution of the present Coronatella (former Alona) monacantha s. str., to which C. acuticostata was previously often attributed, seems to be limited only to the Neotropical region. Asian populations of C. acuticostata still require additional, more detailed analysis (Sinev 2004; Kotov et al. 2013b; Van Damme et al. 2010, 2013; Sinev & Yusoff 2015; Sinev et al. 2015).

description: The Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array 2 (SCUBA-2) is the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope's continuum imager, operating simultaneously at 450 and 850~$μ$m. SCUBA-2 was commissioned in 2009--2011 and since that time, regular observations of point-like standard sources have been performed whenever the instrument is in use. Expanding the calibrator observation sample by an order of magnitude compared to previous work, in this paper we derive updated opacity relations at each wavelength for a new atmospheric-extinction correction, analyze the Flux-Conversion Factors (FCFs) used to convert instrumental units to physical flux units as a function of date and observation time, present information on the beam profiles for each wavelength, and update secondary-calibrator source fluxes. Between 07:00 and 17:00 UTC, the portion of the night that is most stable to temperature gradients that cause dish deformation, the total-flux uncertainty and the peak-flux uncertainty measured at 450~$μ$m are found to be 14\% and 17\%, respectively. Measured at 850~$μ$m, the total-flux and peak-flux uncertainties are 6\%, and 7\%, respectively. The analysis presented in this work is applicable to all SCUBA-2 projects observed since 2011.

description: We present far-ultraviolet (UV) observations at 150 nm of the jet of the quasar 3C 273 obtained with the Advanced Camera for Survey's Solar Blind Channel (ACS/SBC) on board the Hubble Space Telescope. While the jet morphology is very similar to that in the optical and near-ultraviolet, the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the jet's sub-regions show an upturn in nu f_nu at 150 nm compared to 300 nm everywhere in the jet. Moreover, the 150 nm flux is compatible with extrapolating the X-ray power-law down to the ultra-violet region. This constitutes strong support for a common origin of the jet's far-UV and X-ray emission. It implies that even a substantial fraction of the *visible light* in the X-ray brightest parts of the jet arises from the same spectral component as the X-rays, as had been suggested earlier based on Spitzer Space Telescope observations. We argue that the identification of this UV/X-ray component opens up the possibility to establish the synchrotron origin of the X-ray emission by optical polarimetry.

description: In this paper we investigate vacuum polarization effects associated with charged massive quantum fermionic fields in a six-dimensional cosmic string space-times considering the presence of a magnetic flux running along its core. We have shown that for specific values of the parameters which codify the presence of the cosmic string, and the fractional part of the ratio of the magnetic flux by the quantum one, a closed expression for the respective Green function is obtained. Adopting this result, we explicitly calculate the renormalized vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensors, $_{Ren}$, and analyse this result in some limitting cases.

description: Los Angeles’ Koreatown neighborhood is the densest residential neighborhood in Los Angeles County and is served by four Metro stations and the city’s second-busiest bus corridor. The combined residential and transit density of the neighborhood makes the neighborhood a well-positioned case-study for the City of Los Angeles’ Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) program, which was adopted in September 2017 and offers density bonuses to developers in exchange for including affordable units in transit-rich areas. To gauge perceptions of the TOC program’s efficacy and equity among community groups, I interviewed 15 stakeholders, including members of the Wilshire Center-Koreatown Neighborhood Council, for-profit and non-profit housing developers, members of community activist/advocacy groups and a Los Angeles City Council staff member. Participants shared perspectives regarding their stances on the TOC program, their perceptions of its direct and indirect impacts on housing affordability and further policy interventions. Despite their diverging stances regarding the TOC program, all participants engaged with questions of housing affordability and transportation. Their engagements could be interpreted within the lens of three possible responses to these structural themes: minimizing displacement, reducing the harm caused by increased development and spreading the costs and benefits of this increased development more equitably. This study concludes that a nuanced understanding of the many shades of opposition to and support for new housing development can help improve the efficacy of future legislation and planning.
The Family of Love and the Church of England
Creators: name: Konnert, Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Family of Love was a sixteenth-century mystical sect. It was founded by Hendrik Niclaes, a Low German mercer, better known by his pseudonym "H.N.". The standard historical view has maintained that while Niclaes did attract a following in the Low Countries, the Family of Love had its greatest impact in England. This view is based primarily on the large amount of hostile attention which the sect attracted, both in the form of polemical literature and official repression, culminating in a Royal Proclamation against it in October, 1580. It is the contention of this thesis that the standard historical view of the Family of Love is based on a misapprehension, that the amount of hostile attention which the sect attracted in England is not a reliable indicator of the sect's fortunes. The first chapter gives the necessary background on H.N.'s life and ideas. It then goes on to examine the historical literature on the Family of Love, showing how contemporary perceptions of the sect as a real and imminent threat have persisted to the present day. This has occurred because the Family of Love has been used as a pawn in ideological battles, either to demonstrate the excesses of religious fanaticism, or to claim the Family of Love as a predecessor of a modern denomination, especially the Quakers. The second chapter examines the sources for the history of the Family of Love in England. It is shown that the standard historical view is an optical illusion based on a small core of truth: the fact that there actually were small groups of the Family of Love in Cambridgeshire and in London. This small core of truth has been distorted by a number of factors, producing the standard historical view. The third chapter examines the three works which lie at the core of contemporary and historiographical perceptions of the Family of Love: John Knewstubb's A Confutation of Monstrous Heresies taught by H.N. (1579); John Rogers' The Displaying of an horrible Secte of grosse and wicked Heretiques . . . (1578); and William Wilkinson's A Confutation of Certaine Articles delivered unto the Family of Love (1579). Virtually every charge and accusation against the Family of Love arises from one or more of these works. By looking at these men and their works, alternative explanations are advanced both for the disproportionate scale of the attack on the Family of Love, and for the timing of that attack.

description: Interacting two-component Fermi gases loaded in a one-dimensional (1D) lattice and subjected to an harmonic trapping potential exhibit interesting compound phases in which fluid regions coexist with local Mott-insulator and/or band-insulator regions. Motivated by experiments on cold atoms inside disordered optical lattices, we present a theoretical study of the effects of a correlated random potential on these ground-state phases. We employ a lattice version of density-functional theory within the local-density approximation to determine the density distribution of fermions in these phases. The exchange-correlation potential is obtained from the Lieb-Wu exact solution of Fermi-Hubbard model. On-site disorder (with and without Gaussian correlations) and harmonic trap are treated as external potentials. We find that disorder has two main effects: (i) it destroys the local insulating regions if it is sufficiently strong compared with the on-site atom-atom repulsion, and (ii) it induces an anomaly in the inverse compressibility at low density from quenching of percolation. For sufficiently large disorder correlation length the enhancement in the inverse compressibility diminishes.

description: Measurements of Zgamma* production are presented using data collected by the DELPHI detector at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 183 to 209 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 667 pb^{-1}. The measurements cover a wide range of the possible final state four-fermion configurations: hadronic and leptonic (e+ e- q qbar, mu+ mu- q qbar, q qbar nu nubar), fully leptonic (l+ l- l'+ l'-) and fully hadronic final states (q qbar q qbar, with a low mass q qbar pair). Measurements of the Zgamma* cross-section for the various final states have been compared with the Standard Model expectations and found to be consistent within the errors. In addition, a total cross-section measurement of the l+ l- l'+ l'- cross-section is reported, and found to be in agreement with the prediction of the Standard Model.

description: The fraction of stars which are in binaries or triples at the time of stellar death and the fraction of these systems which survive the supernova (SN) explosion are crucial constraints for evolution models and predictions for gravitational wave source populations. These fractions are also subject to direct observational determination. Here we search 10 supernova remnants (SNR) containing compact objects with proper motions for unbound binaries or triples using Gaia EDR3 and new statistical methods and tests for false positives. We confirm the one known example of an unbound binary, HD 37424 in G180.0-01.7, and find no other examples. Combining this with our previous searches for bound and unbound binaries, and assuming no bias in favor of finding interacting binaries, we find that 72.0% (52.2%-86.4%, 90% confidence) of SN producing neutron stars are not binaries at the time of explosion, 13.9% (5.4%-27.2%) produce bound binaries and 12.5% (2.8%-31.3%) produce unbound binaries. With a strong bias in favor of finding interacting binaries, the medians shift to 76.0% were not binaries at death, 9.5% leave bound and 13.2% leave unbound binaries. Of explosions that do not leave binaries, <18.9% can be fully unbound triples. These limits are conservatively for M>5Msun stars, although the mass limits for individual systems are significantly stronger. At birth, the progenitor of PSR J0538+2817 was probably a 13-19Msun star, and at the time of explosion it was probably a Roche limited, partially stripped star transferring mass to HD 37424 and then producing a Type IIL or IIb supernova.

description: This research presents a comprehensive evaluation of Deep Learning models for high-frequency univariate financial time series forecasting. I compare several architectures including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), an Attention-LSTM hybrid, and a novel Attention-CNN hybrid. These models are benchmarked against the conventional Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model. Using 15-minute interval data for the AUD/USD exchange rate, I meticulously assess these models on both one-step ahead and multistep ahead predictions while maintaining consistent hyperparameters. My findings demonstrate that all Deep Learning models outperform the ARIMA benchmark, with the novel Attention-CNN hybrid emerging as the best-performing model. This hybrid offers retail investors a more accurate alternative that requires minimal data preparation, effectively addressing the complexities of predicting currency exchange rates in dynamic financial markets.
Correlations among new CP violating effects in Delta F = 2 observables

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

description: We point out that the observed CP violation in Bd - bar{Bd} mixing, taking into account the measured ratio Delta Md / Delta Ms, the recently improved lattice value of the non-perturbative parameter BK and an additional effective suppression factor kappa_epsilon ~= 0.92 in epsilon_K neglected sofar in most analyses, may be insufficient to describe the measured value of epsilon_K within the Standard Model (SM), thus hinting at new CP violating contributions to the K - bar{K} and/or Bd - bar{Bd} systems. Furthermore, assuming that Delta Md / Delta Ms is SM-like, the signs and the magnitudes of new physics effects in epsilon_K and in the CP asymmetries S_{psi Ks} and S_{psi phi} may turn out to be correlated. For example, in a scenario with new CP-phases in Bd and Bs mixings being approximately equal and negative, a common new phase ~= - 5 degrees could remove the tension between epsilon_K and S_{psi Ks} present in the SM and simultaneously accommodate, at least partly, the recent claim of S_{psi phi} being much larger than the SM expectation. We emphasize the importance of precise determinations of Vcb, BK, FK and xi_s, to which the parameter epsilon_K and its correlation with the CP violation in the Bd - bar{Bd} system are very sensitive.

Northwest coast whaling : a new perspective
Creators: name: Cavanagh, Deborah Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Marine mammal hunting developed to its peak on the Northwest Coast, among the only whaling people in this area: the Nootka, Makah and their immediately adjacent neighbours. While previous anthropological work has emphasized whaling ritual and technology, this thesis examines the economic importance of the whale resource for the Nootka and Makah. Settlement patterns were well-suited to the exploitation of the seasonally abundant whale resource. People moved to the outer coast at the same time as northerly migrating grays and humpbacks arrived on the Northwest Coast. Occupation of summer villages ensured a sizeable labour force to assist in the hunt and render the considerable quantity of oil obtained from a single whale. At a time when winter food stocks were depleted the Nootka and Makah exploited as many resources as possible. While most of the labour force was harvesting spring fish runs, chiefs and nobles hunted whales. These elite whaling crews were trained since childhood in the ritual and technological intricacies of the whale hunt. A chief's success on the whaling grounds brought him considerable prestige. His favourable relationships with supernatural powers were proven, as were his leadership abilities. Political advantages were gained by redistributing whale products among his own people as well as neighbouring villages and tribes. A seemingly small annual kill of only 2.5 whales per village could have contributed a significant amount of fat to the Nootka and Makah diets. The annual whale harvest of all Nootka tribes was estimated to be between 20 and 82.5 animals, with an additional 52 to 214 struck but lost each year. Using the average oil yield of both gray and humpback whales, the annual oil harvest per village ranged between 1,890 and 3,905 gallons. Each Nootka could have received between 6.6 and 56.8 kilograms of whale oil annually. This compares favourably with the annual fat intake of Britons in 1880. The combined use of ethnographic, archaeological, biological and historical sources suggests that the whale resource, although not the single most important resource for the Nootka and Makah, contributed significantly to the economy of people inhabiting the west coast of Vancouver Island and Cape Flattery.

description: (abridged) The discovery of OGLE 2005-BLG-390Lb, the first cool rocky/icy exoplanet, impressively demonstrated the sensitivity of the microlensing technique to extra-solar planets below 10 M_earth. A planet of 1 M_earth in the same spot would have provided a detectable deviation with an amplitude of ~ 3 % and a duration of ~ 12 h. An early detection of a deviation could trigger higher-cadence sampling which would have allowed the discovery of an Earth-mass planet in this case. Here, we describe the implementation of an automated anomaly detector, embedded into the eSTAR system, that profits from immediate feedback provided by the robotic telescopes that form the RoboNet-1.0 network. It went into operation for the 2007 microlensing observing season. As part of our discussion about an optimal strategy for planet detection, we shed some new light on whether concentrating on highly-magnified events is promising and planets in the 'resonant' angular separation equal to the angular Einstein radius are revealed most easily. Given that sub-Neptune mass planets can be considered being common around the host stars probed by microlensing (preferentially M- and K-dwarfs), the higher number of events that can be monitored with a network of 2m telescopes and the increased detection efficiency for planets below 5 M_earth arising from an optimized strategy gives a common effort of current microlensing campaigns a fair chance to detect an Earth-mass planet (from the ground) ahead of the COROT or Kepler missions. The detection limit of gravitational microlensing extends even below 0.1 M_earth, but such planets are not very likely to be detected from current campaigns. However, these will be within the reach of high-cadence monitoring with a network of wide-field telescopes or a space-based telescope.

We demonstrate coherent optical control of the magnetization precession by applying two successive ultrashort laser pulses. The magnetic field and temperature dependent experiments reveal the collective Mn-moment nature of the oscillatory part of the time-dependent Kerr rotation, as well as contributions to the magneto-optical signal that are not connected with the magnetization dynamics.

Growth and yield relations in highbush blueberry
Creators: name: Bowen, Patricia Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: It was proposed that sequential yield component analysis could determine some growth and yield relations in highbush blueberry which could not be detected by ordinary regression procedures. The technique was applied to a commercial planting of the cultivar 'Bluecrop' in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. Yield per bush depended most upon yields of individual canes. Ripe berry yield per cane was determined either by fruit set or the number of seeds per berry. Fruit set and berry enlargement determined green fruit yield per cane and ripening was related to bush canopy area. Buds initiated and the portion which differentiated into reproductive buds determined yield of clusters per cane. Cane thinning had beneficial effects upon growth and development while top thinning seemed to limit growth. No biennial bearing tendencies could be detected. It was concluded that sequential yield component analysis is a valuable technique for studying plant growth and yield relations, but interpretation problems can result if modelling assumptions are not met.

description: 22. Coronatella (Coronatella) rectangula (Sars, 1862)
Localities and specimens found: 16 – 1♀; 25 – 1♀ em; 97 – 1♀.
Distribution and ecology. Coronatella rectangula (formerly most often recognized as Alona rectangula Sars, 1862) is a very confusing taxon with a complicated taxonomic history and many synonyms (Van Damme & Dumont 2008; Van Damme et al. 2010, 2013; Sinev 2017; Korovchinsky et al. 2021b; WoRMS Editorial Board 2024). Until recently, it was supposed that it has an almost global distribution (Kotov et al. 2013a). According to modern concepts, the distribution of the typical form of this chydorid seems to be limited to the Palearctic and Oriental regions (Sinev 2017; Korovchinsky et al. 2021b), although the Southeast Asian populations have some differences and require additional research (Sinev & Yusoff 2015; Sinev et al. 2015; Sinev 2016, 2017). The findings of C. rectangula -like specimens are rather common in the Oriental and adjacent areas (Chiang & Du 1979; Rajapaksa & Fernando 1982a; Idris 1983; Michael & Sharma 1998; Sanoamuang 1998; Tanaka & Ohtaka 2010; Maiphae et al. 2005, 2008; Rane 2011; Chatterjee et al. 2013; Korovchinsky 2013; Kotov et al. 2013b; Ji et al. 2015; Sinev & Yusoff 2015; Sinev et al. 2015; Sinev 2016; Sharma & Sharma 2017; Gogoi et al. 2018; Tiang-nga et al. 2020; Choedchim & Maiphae 2023). In Vietnam, this crustacean is well known as well (Shirota 1966; Dang et al. 1980, 2002; Dang & Ho 2001; Duong et al. 2008; Gusakov et al. 2014; Zhdanova 2014).
Coronatella rectangula is considered one of the most eurybiont representatives of the Aloninae. It occurs in almost all types of water bodies of any trophic level, in a wide range of environments. The species is found both in plankton and benthos. In big water bodies, it prefers littoral habitats, usually with aquatic vegetation (Van Damme et al. 2010; Sinev 2016; Korovchinsky et al. 2021b). In our samples, the species was rare and in low concentrations.

description: We address the nature of the giant clumps in high-z galaxies that undergo Violent Disc Instability, attempting to distinguish between long-lived clumps that migrate inward and short-lived clumps that disrupt by feedback. We study the evolution of clumps as they migrate through the disc using an analytic model tested by simulations and confront theory with CANDELS observations. The clump ``bathtub" model, which considers gas and stellar gain and loss, is characterized by four parameters: the accretion efficiency, the star-formation-rate (SFR) efficiency, and the outflow mass-loading factors for gas and stars. The relevant timescales are all comparable to the migration time, two-three orbital times. A clump differs from a galaxy by the internal dependence of the accretion rate on the varying clump mass. The analytic solution, involving exponential growing and decaying modes, reveals a main evolution phase during the migration, where the SFR and gas mass are constant and the stellar mass is rising linearly with time. This makes the inverse of the specific SFR an observable proxy for clump age. Later, the masses and SFR approach an exponential growth with a constant specific SFR, but this phase is hypothetical as the clump disappears in the galaxy center. The model matches simulations with different, moderate feedback, both in isolated and cosmological settings. The observed clumps agree with our theoretical predictions, indicating that the massive clumps are long-lived and migrating. A non-trivial challenge is to model feedback that is non-disruptive in massive clumps but suppresses SFR to match the galactic stellar-to-halo mass ratio.

description: Ausgehend von der These, dass die jeweilige wissenschaftliche Fachkultur den Rahmen für Berufskarrieren bildet, wurde der spezifische Fachdiskurs über Karrieren von Chemiker/- innen im Fachmagazin Nachrichten aus der Chemie untersucht. Die Leitfrage lautete: Werden Karrieren von Chemiker/-innen in der Community geschlechterdifferent präsentiert? Falls ja, worin unterscheiden sie sich? Die Analyse der Nachrichten zeigt, dass die Karriere von Chemiker/-innen einem mehrjährigen Entwicklungsprozess folgt. Er wird von einer zeitlichen Abfolge bestimmter Karrierestationen determiniert, die in der Regel mit einem Prestige- oder Statusgewinn in der Community einhergehen. Große fachliche und institutionelle Hürden zu überwinden, wird als notwendiges Merkmal einer erfolgreichen Karriere gewertet. Festhalten lässt sich Folgendes: 1. Karrieren von Chemiker/-innen folgen einem hindernisreichen Weg, scheinbar ohne Privatleben und ohne Bezug zum (sozialen) Geschlecht der Person. 2. Chemikerinnen können berufl ich erfolgreich in der Chemie sein. Sie werden jedoch präsentiert als Chemiker, bleiben als Chemikerin eher unsichtbar. 3. In der Regel wird Geschlecht nicht thematisiert – wenn doch, dann eher als Hemmnis für eine Karriere von Chemikerinnen.

description: Context: Hydrogenation reactions are expected to be among the most important surface reactions on interstellar ices. However, solid state astrochemical laboratory data on reactions of H-atoms with common interstellar ice constituents are largely lacking. Aims: The goal of our laboratory work is to determine whether and how carbon dioxide (CO2), formic acid (HCOOH) and acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) react with H-atoms in the solid state at low temperatures and to derive reaction rates and production yields. Methods: Pure CO2, HCOOH and CH3CHO interstellar ice analogues are bombarded by H-atoms in an ultra-high vacuum experiment. The ices are monitored by reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy and the reaction products are detected in the gas phase through temperature programmed desorption to determine the destruction and formation yields as well as the corresponding reaction rates. Results: Within the sensitivity of our set-up we conclude that H-atom bombardment of pure CO2 and HCOOH ice does not result in detectable reaction products. The upper limits on the reaction rates are less or equal to 7e(-17) cm^2/s which make it unlikely that these species play a major role in the formation of more complex organics in interstellar ices due to reactions with H-atoms. In contrast, CH3CHO does react with H-atoms. At most 20% is hydrogenated to ethanol (C2H5OH) and a second reaction route leads to the break-up of the C-C bond to form solid state CH4 (~20%) as well as H2CO and CH3OH (15-50%). The methane production yield is expected to be equal to the summed yield of H2CO and CH3OH and therefore CH4 most likely evaporates partly after formation due to the high exothermicity of the reaction. The reaction rates for CH3CHO destruction depend on ice temperature and not on ice thickness.

description: We discuss various bifurcation problems in which two isolated periodic orbits exchange periodic ``bridge'' orbit(s) between two successive bifurcations. We propose normal forms which locally describe the corresponding fixed point scenarios on the Poincaré surface of section. Uniform approximations for the density of states for an integrable Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom are derived and successfully reproduce the numerical quantum-mechanical results.

description: Context. G24.78+0.08 A1 is a 20 Msun star surrounded by a hypercompact (HC) HII region, driving a CO bipolar outflow, and located at the center of a massive rotating toroid undergoing infall towards the HC region. Recent water maser observations suggest that the HC region is expanding and accretion onto the star is halted. Aims. This study aims to confirm the expansion scenario proposed for the HC region on the basis of recent H2O maser observations. Methods. We carried out continuum VLA observations at 1.3cm and 7mm with the A array plus Pie Town configuration to map the HC region towards G24 A1. Results. The emission of the HC region has been resolved and shows a ring shape structure. The profiles of the emission obtained by taking slices at different angles passing through the barycenter of the HC region confirm the shell structure of the emission. The ratio between the inner and the outer radius of the shell, Ri/Ro, derived fitting the normalized brightness temperature profile passing through the peak of the 7mm emission, is 0.9, which indicates that the shell is thin. The deconvolved outer radius estimated from the fit is 590 AU. These results imply that the HC region in G24 A1 cannot be described in terms of a classical, homogeneous HII region but is instead an ionized shell. This gives support to the model of an expanding wind-driven, ionized shell suggested by the kinematics and distribution of the H2O masers associated with the HC region. According to this model, the HC region is expanding on very short times scales, 21-66 yr.

description: A two-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger lattice with nonlinear coupling, modelling a square array of weakly coupled linear optical waveguides embedded in a nonlinear Kerr material, is studied. We find that despite a vanishing energy difference (Peierls-Nabarro barrier) of fundamental stationary modes the mobility of localized excitations is very poor. This is attributed to a large separation in parameter space of the bifurcation points of the involved stationary modes. At these points the stability of the fundamental modes is changed and an asymmetric intermediate solution appears that connects the points. The control of the power flow across the array when excited with plane waves is also addressed and shown to exhibit great flexibility that may lead to applications for power-coupling devices. In certain parameter regimes, the direction of a stable propagating plane-wave current is shown to be continuously tunable by amplitude variation (with fixed phase gradient). More exotic effects of the nonlinear coupling terms like compact discrete breathers and vortices, and stationary complex modes with non-trivial phase relations are also briefly discussed. Regimes of dynamical linear stability are found for all these types of solutions.

description: We discuss flavour dependent lepton asymmetries in the Exceptional Supersymmetric Standard Model (E$_6$SSM). In the E$_6$SSM, the right-handed neutrinos do not participate in gauge interactions, and they decay into leptons and leptoquarks. Their Majorana nature allows violation of lepton number. New particles and interactions can result in substantial lepton asymmetries, even for scales as low as $10^6 {\rm GeV}$.

description: In the field of integrative oncology, polyphenols have gained attention for their ability to modulate key signaling pathways involved in breast cancer prevention. One noteworthy product, the Polyphenol-Enriched Blueberry Preparation (PEBP), produced by the fermentation of blueberries by the bacterium Rouxiella badensis subsp. acadiensis has demonstrated various beneficial properties, including anti-inflammatory effects and the ability to control cancer stem cells. Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) are highly tumorigenic cells involved in carcinogenesis and can cause relapses. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can act as regulators of CSCs, by controlling stemness and invasion. We postulate that PEBP or its polyphenolic components induce specific epigenetic changes by modulating miRNA networks, reducing CSCs, and preventing breast carcinoma. Thus, the overarching aim of this thesis is to better understand the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of the polyphenol-enriched preparation in mitigating breast cancer. The objectives are: 1. To investigate the chemopreventive effects of PEBP on breast cancer stem cell development in cell models and in vivo, as well as to study the involvement of STAT3 and MAPKs signaling pathways 2. Assess the impact of the polyphenol-enriched blueberry preparation on breast cancer by regulating the expression signatures of miRNA involved with cell proliferation, survival, and CSC self-renewal pathways in in vitro experiments. 3. Characterize PEBP and investigate the effect of a subset of its components on miRNA expression. Furthermore, validate the role of those components in regulating the functional behavior of breast cancer stem cells through experiments using a 4T1 animal model. The results have shown a decrease in the formation of CSCs by delaying the development of tumors in vivo, decreasing metastasis to the lungs, and controlling the PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis, a central node in CSC signaling and homeostasis. In addition, several miRNAs associated with different clinical-pathological characteristics of breast cancer were shown to be differentially expressed in CSCs after exposure to PEBP. Notably, the expression of hypoxamir miR-210, associated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer patients, was downregulated, while tumor suppressor miR-145, which prevents metastasis through FOXO1 was over-expressed. The chemopreventive potential of a polyphenolic mixture containing PCA, gallic acid, and catechin, found in PEBP, was also shown to successfully reduce tumour growth and metastasis in our animal model and decrease the presence of stem-like tumour cells by favouring the upregulation of tumour-suppressor miR-145. These findings provide novel evidence in translational medicine, highlighting the effectiveness of a natural epigenetic modulator in chemoprevention by specifically targeting CSCs.
