description: Quaternary deposits, as much as 76 m (250 ft) thick, discontinuously cover more than 7,800 km2 (3,000 mi2) of the western Rolling Plains of northwestern Texas. The stratigraphy of this sedimentary sequence is complex, reflecting changes in paleoclimate during the late Pleistocene and Holocene Epochs. In addition, there are clear indications of syngenetic structural control of deposition and postdepositional deformation of the Quaternary strata. These effects were caused by regional and local karstic subsidence resulting from dissolution of Upper Permian evaporites, particularly halite, at depths of 120 to 240 m (400 to 800 ft). Dissolution created voids within the bedded evaporites. As the voids expanded, the overlying strata collapsed, forming depressions wherein sediment accumulated preferentially. Subsidence also caused local faulting and downwarping of some of the Quaternary deposits. Affected deposits include beds of coarse-grained sediment eroded from the westward-retreating Caprock Escarpment (adjacent to the Rolling Plains). This sediment was trapped within the zone of subsidence, forming a broad bajada at the base of the escarpment. At most sites, the coarse-elastic deposits compose the lowest of three genetic components of the regional Quaternary section.

description: Detailed studies of the geology and hydrogeology of Permian salt beds and adjacent strata in the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Panhandle, began in 1977 when the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) initiated investigations to consider the salt beds as potential host rocks for a high-level radioactive waste repository. Studies continued until 1987 when the U.S. Congress directed that repository siting focus solely on Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Knowledge of the geology and hydrogeology of the large and complex Palo Duro Basin was minimal in 1977, in large part because of the previously limited success of hydrocarbon exploration in the basin. The ensuing decade of research produced significant new knowledge of stratigraphy, regional tectonics, geomorphology, hydrocarbon potential, geochemistry, hydrogeologic properties, and ground-water flow in the basin. This report synthesizes and examines the extensive results of these geologic and hydrogeologic studies of the Palo Duro Basin and identifies the perceived scientific issues that remain to be addressed and answered before high-level nuclear waste could be buried in the Texas Panhandle in any future program. Some geologic and hydrogeologic aspects of the Palo Duro Basin still are not well defined where geologic and hydrogeologic data are sparse and where interpretations differ. Principal among these scientific issues are questions pertaining to the timing of tectonic and diagenetic events affecting Permian sediments and host-rock stability; thermal maturity of hydrocarbon source rocks and the potential for additional discoveries of oil and gas in the basin; recharge rates and the relative significance of different sources of recharge to the High Plains aquifer and to the aquifer in the Triassic Dockum Group; ground-water flow velocity through the evaporite section and deep-basin aquifers, influence of fractures on flow velocity, and whether to treat flow as a steady-state phenomenon; origin and age of brine in deeply buried formations beneath the salt section; origin, paleoenvironment, and rate of formation of playa-lake and other lacustrine basins during the Cenozoic Era; Quaternary and present rates of salt dissolution; and the varying local extent of salt dissolution beneath the Southern High Plains.

description: Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China, it has rapidly spread across many other countries. While the majority of patients were considered mild, critically ill patients involving respiratory failure and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome are not uncommon, which could result death. We hypothesized that cytokine storm is associated with severe outcome. We enrolled 102 COVID-19 patients who were admitted to Renmin Hospital (Wuhan, China). All patients were classified into moderate, severe and critical groups according to their symptoms. 45 control samples of healthy volunteers were also included. Inflammatory cytokines and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) profiles of serum samples were analyzed by specific immunoassays. Results showed that COVID-19 patients have higher serum level of cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10) and CRP than control individuals. Within COVID-19 patients, serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels are significantly higher in critical group (n = 17) than in moderate (n = 42) and severe (n = 43) group. The levels of IL-10 is positively correlated with CRP amount (r = 0.41, P < 0.01). Using univariate logistic regression analysis, IL-6 and IL-10 are found to be predictive of disease severity and receiver operating curve analysis could further confirm this result (AUC = 0.841, 0.822 respectively). Our result indicated higher levels of cytokine storm is associated with more severe disease development. Among them, IL-6 and IL-10 can be used as predictors for fast diagnosis of patients with higher risk of disease deterioration. Given the high levels of cytokines induced by SARS-CoV-2, treatment to reduce inflammation-related lung damage is critical.

This seemingly trivial relation connecting the $α_n$'s with the $β_n$'s has some interesting consequences, including several basic hypergeometric summation formulae, a connection to the Prouhet-Tarry-Escott problem, some new identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan-Slater type, some new expressions for false theta series as basic hypergeometric series, and new transformation formulae for poly-basic hypergeometric series.

description: Quantum corrections to the energy of D0-branes in a constant RR 4-form background are studied. Using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we compute the long-range interaction between two spherical D2-D0 bound states. We extend this calculation to the case where some mass terms are added. For the special value of masses at which the classical energy vanishes, we find complete cancellations of two boson-fermion pairs in the quantum mechanical expression of the zero-point energy, suggesting possible restoration of (partial) supersymmetries. We also briefly discuss the interaction between a dielectric 2-brane and a single D0-brane.

description: Thick, aggradational sequences of shelf and distal shoreface sandstones serve as prolific hydrocarbon reservoirs in the deep, downdip part of the Frio Formation, facing the Greta/Caranchahua shorezone system. Near Corpus Christi, Texas, geopressured shelf reservoirs have yielded more than 190 bcf of gas just in the Corpus Channel and Encinal Channel fields. Within these fields, two thinly bedded shelf-sandstone units (K2 and KS reservoirs) have produced 26 and 38 bcf of gas, respectively. Cross-sections and maps demonstrate that shelf sandstones extend basinward from the distal shoreface toes of barrier-island and beach-ridge sandstone bodies. Shelf sequences typically show upward-coarsening patterns, although upward-fining and heterogeneous sequences are also present. Conventional cores reveal that shelf sequences consist of bioturbated muddy sandstone and sandy mudstone thinly interbedded with planar laminated, sparsely burrowed, and occasionally low-angle cross-laminated or ripple-laminated fine to very fine sandstone. Associated burrow-homogenized siltstone to very fine sandstone sequences range from 1.5 to 6 m (5 to 20 ft) in thickness. Scattered thin zones contain locally derived mudstone clasts, macerated plant fragments, or shell debris. Individual shelf sandstone bodies often exceed 30 m (100 ft) in thickness, particularly when expanded on the downthrown side of major growth faults. In plan view, shelf sandstones form irregular sheets covering areas of several hundreds of square kilometers. Sandstone percentage maps reveal subparallel, discontinuous, strike-oriented buildups lying seaward of the contemporary shoreface sandstone unit. These shore-parallel belts are typically interconnected and attached to the shoreface sand body by one or more dip-oriented channel-like axes.
title: Essays on Private Health Insurance in Australia: Household Decisions, Participation Projections, and Policy Explorations
Creators: name: Li, Qingyue (Marco)
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2025

description: This thesis presents several research topics around Private Health Insurance (PHI) in Australia. Australia's healthcare system features a unique blend of public and private health services, with PHI playing a crucial role in supplementing the publicly funded Medicare system. The participation in PHI is shaped by a range of factors, including government policies, demographic shifts, and economic conditions. Chapter 1 provides a comprehensive analysis of these factors, investigating what drives Australian households' decisions regarding PHI. Subsequently, Chapter 2 introduces a dynamic microsimulation model designed to project future PHI coverage in Australia, incorporating the adverse selection effect. Finally, Chapter 3 employs this model to evaluate the impacts of various assumptions, scenarios, and potential policies on PHI participation and sustainability. Chapter 1 presents an empirical analysis of the determinants influencing households' decisions to acquire or cancel PHI. The analysis highlights the effectiveness of government policies such as the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) and the Lifetime Health Cover (LHC) in encouraging PHI uptake. It also reveals that younger individuals are more likely to cancel their cover or less likely to purchase a policy, while those with higher financial literacy and less financial risk aversion are less likely to drop their PHI coverage. Chapter 2 details the development of the dynamic microsimulation model, which forecasts future trends in PHI participation. The model accounts for demographic changes, family formation patterns, transitions in education levels, and income variations. Crucially, it includes the adverse selection effect, where premium increases from the previous year influence households' PHI decisions in the current year. The model forecasts a significant decline in PHI participation due to adverse selection, with a diminishing proportion of young people among policyholders. Chapter 3 further explores the use of the microsimulation model to examine the poten- tial outcomes of adjustments to key variables, such as mortality rates and wage growth rates. It also explores variations in the model's key assumption regarding adverse selection, including differing levels of adverse selection by age. These analyses offer valuable insights into the long-term sustainability of PHI under varying conditions. The chapter further incorporates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic by adjusting for changes in mortality, economic conditions, and claim experiences. Finally, it explores potential policy options designed to enhance the sustainability of the PHI market, with a particular focus on mitigating adverse selection through measures like age-differentiated premium increases.

description: We construct the scaling limit of the easy axis XXZ chain. This limit is a subtle combination of approaching the isotropic point, and letting the lattice spacing to zero to obtain a continuous model with a finite mass gap. We give the energy difference between the two lowest energy states (the two `vacua') and analyze the structure of the excitation spectrum of the limiting model. We find, that the excitations form two sets corresponding to the two vacua. In both sets the dressed particles are described by Bethe Ansatz like equations (higher level Bethe Ansatz), and the two sets can be distinguished through a parameter entering into these secular equations. The degenerations in the spectrum can be interpreted as originating from an SU(2) symmetry of the dressed particles. The two particle scattering matrices obtained from the secular equations are consistent with this symmetry, and they differ in an overall sign in the two sectors.

description: The Pleasant Bayou C-zone geopressured-geothermal reservoir is currently undergoing long-term production testing. Using all available deep-well data and building on broad-based previous work, we constructed a detailed geologic characterization of the C-zone reservoir, including sandstone geometry and continuity, porosity distribution, depositional facies interpretation, and structural configuration. This characterization formed the basis for calculating total sandstone volume and effective pore volume of the reservoir and for constructing models for use in numerical simulations. Total effective pore volume of the C-zone reservoir is estimated to be between 6.2 and 6.6 billion barrels. With respect to the test well, one-third of this volume is proximal (within about 3 mi), and two-thirds are remote. Geologically based reservoir volume and models will be useful in predicting long-term well performance and interpreting pressure and production trends during the testing program. We are monitoring pressures in deep gas wells in Chocolate Bayou field to detect possible changes that can be related to production at the Pleasant Bayou test well. No wells produce gas directly from the C-zone reservoir, but several do produce from thin, overlying sandstones, which may be in contact with the perforated interval. Gas well pressure data are reported semiannually and must be monitored for several years to obtain meaningful trends. At a depth of 20,200 ft, the DOE Hulin No. 1 well in southwestern Louisiana penetrates a 550-ft-thick sandstone, which is the deepest known Gulf Coast geopressured-geothermal reservoir. Although the lack of deep well control has precluded detailed mapping, regional stratigraphic context and log response suggest that the Hulin reservoir was deposited in a submarine canyon or proximal submarine fan on the lower Miocene continental slope. Testing the Hulin reservoir will offer a unique opportunity for research and resource evaluation.

description: We calculate the self force acting on a scalar particle which is falling radially into a Schwarzschild black hole. We treat the particle's self-field as a linear perturbation over the fixed Schwarzschild background. The force is calculated by numerically solving the appropriate wave equation for each mode of the field in the time domain, calculating its contribution to the self force, and summing over all modes using Ori's mode-sum regularization prescription. The radial component of the force is attractive at large distances, and becomes repulsive as the particle approaches the event horizon.

description: We report on the optical and structural properties of plastic scintillators irradiated with neutron beams produced by the IBR-2 reactor of the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics in JINR, Dubna. Blue UPS-923A and green plastic scintillators were irradiated with neutron fluence ranging from 10$^{13}$ to 10$^{17}$ n/cm$^2$. Discolouring in the plastic scintillators was observed after irradiation. The effects of radiation damage on the optical and structural properties of the samples were characterized by conducting light yield, light transmission, light fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy studies. The results showed that neutron radiation induced damage in the material. The disappearance of the Raman peak features in green scintillators at frequencies of 1165.8, 1574.7 and 1651.2 cm$^{-1}$ revealed significant structural alterations due to neutron bombardment. Losses in fluorescence intensity, light yield and light transmission in the plastic scintillators were observed.

description: Background: Novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is prevalent around the world. We aimed to describe epidemiological features and clinical course in Shanghai. Methods: We retrospectively analysed 325 cases admitted at Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, between January 20 and February 29, 2020. Results: 47.4% (154/325) had visited Wuhan within 2 weeks of illness onset. 57.2% occurred in 67 clusters; 40% were situated within 53 family clusters. 83.7% developed fever during the disease course. Median times from onset to first medical care, hospitalization and negative detection of nucleic acid by nasopharyngeal swab were 1, 4 and 8 days. Patients with mild disease using glucocorticoid tended to have longer viral shedding in blood and feces. At admission, 69.8% presented with lymphopenia and 38.8% had elevated D-dimers. Pneumonia was identified in 97.5% (314/322) of cases by chest CT scan. Severe-critical patients were 8% with a median time from onset to critical disease of 10.5 days. Half required oxygen therapy and 7.1% high-flow nasal oxygen. The case fatality rate was 0.92% with median time from onset to death of 16 days. Conclusion: COVID-19 cases in Shanghai were imported. Rapid identification, and effective control measures helped to contain the outbreak and prevent community transmission.

Year: 1988
Subjects: subject: volcanism

subject: Trans-Pecos Texas

description: This report describes the results of the first-year study of the volcanic rocks of the Davis Mountains, Trans-Pecos Texas. Oligocene volcanic rocks in the Davis Mountains constitute the major part of the eastern, alkalic belt of the Trans-Pecos volcanic field. Yet, because of their volcanic and stratigraphic complexity, the Davis Mountains remain the most poorly mapped and least understood part of the field. The geology of the Davis Mountains as shown on the Geologic Atlas of Texas is based on regional extrapolation of formations established in a few detailed studies. Unfortunately, even these detailed studies commonly grouped a variety of lithologic types of doubtful genetic relationship. Extrapolation of these composite units into areas studied only from aerial photographs has further confused true relations. Very few source areas, calderas or otherwise, have been even tentatively identified. Only one stratovolcano and one caldera have been relatively thoroughly studied. Nevertheless, the Davis Mountains are worthy of detailed study for several reasons. They are a distinctive, large-scale example of alkalic continental volcanism, comparable in areal extent and volume to major calcalkalic fields such as the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. All igneous rocks are alkalic; several are peralkaline. The volume of individual volcanic units is much greater than in most peralkaline volcanic fields. Many of the ash-flow sheets are rheomorphic; the degree of secondary flow ranges up to extreme examples in which a pyroclastic origin is largely obscured. Additionally, several large-volume silicic units have the outcrop and textural scale features of lavas but the areal dimensions of ash-flow tuffs. The origin of these units, whether extremely rheomorphic tuffs or unusually large-volume and extensive silicic lavas, is actively debated.

description: The Triassic Dockum Group in the Palo Duro Basin comprises numerous interbedded sequences of coarse- to fine-grained terrigenous elastic sedimentary strata. Within the lower Dockum section, four sandstone-dominated progradational sequences are evident. The sandstone in the first unit exhibits a relatively uniform distribution across the basin due to deposition by broad alluvial fans and fan deltas. In contrast, sandstones in the remaining units and the upper Dockum display uneven distribution as a result of deposition by deltaic and fluvial systems. According to net-sandstone trends, sediment sources for Triassic strata in the Palo Duro Basin indicate deposition from the west, north, and east for the basal unit, predominantly from the east for units 2 and 3, and mixed western and eastern sources for unit 4 and the upper Dockum. Net-sandstone distribution patterns and lithofacies trends suggest proximal depositional environments in the present eastern and northeastern Dockum and more distal environments to the west and southwest. Paleodip appears to have been from east to west over most of the Texas side of the basin, possibly changing in the area of the Texas-New Mexico border. Basement structural elements within the basin were subtly active during deposition and influenced the local accumulation of sandstone. Nine lithofacies in the Dockum can be identified from core samples. Two lacustrine system lithofacies are discernible by claystone, mudstone, and siltstone lithologies. In some instances, these intervals are thick and commonly contain features indicative of subaerial exposure and weathering. Four lithofacies may have been deposited in deltaic environments. Thick siltstone sequences and interbedded siltstone and sandstone sequences represent distal and proximal delta-front deposits, while mudstone was deposited on deltaic mudflats. Interbedded, organic-rich siltstone and sandstone accumulated in swamps on abandoned delta platforms. Two fluvial lithofacies, including delta-distributary-channel fill deposits, are represented by relatively thick sandstone and conglomerate. Fluvial lithofacies encompass bed-load and mixed-load systems. An eolian-flat lithofacies may have formed on distal alluvial-fan sediments.

description: Salt dissolution around the perimeter of the Southern High Plains is driven by meteoric groundwater that most likely moves downward from aquifers in the Dockum Group and Ogallala Formation into the Upper Permian section. Hydraulic conductivities measured at two test wells in the salt-dissolution zone below the Rolling Plains and Canadian River valley are 0.7 to 1.6 ft/day (0.2 to 0.5 m/day), greater than hydraulic conductivities of 0.0002 to 0.002 ft/day (0.00006 to 0.0006 m/day) measured at a test well in the salt-dissolution zone below the Southern High Plains. Groundwater velocity in the salt-dissolution zone below the Southern High Plains may be less than the groundwater velocity in the salt-dissolution zone below the Rolling Plains and Canadian River valley because of lower hydraulic conductivity and lower hydraulic-head gradient. The inferred differences in flow rate correspond to differences in salinity and probably account for some variation in the rate of solution of halite. The salt-dissolution zone around the perimeter of the Palo Duro Basin is confined and has a coefficient of storage of approximately 10^-3.5 to 10^-4.6. Although groundwater in the salt-dissolution zone below the Rolling Plains and Canadian River valley is 10,000 to 20,000 years old, with salinity of 68,000 to 95,000 mg/L, the Na-Cl-type water remains capable of dissolving halite that it contacts.

description: The COntractor REnormalization group method (CORE), originally developed for application to lattice gauge theories, is very well adapted the study of spin systems and systems with fermions. As an warmup exercise for studying Hubbard models this method is applied to spin-1/2 and spin-1 anti-ferromagnets in one space dimension in order to see if it is able to explain the physics of the Haldane conjecture. The method not only provides support for Haldane's conjecture but provides insight into the physics of a more general class of spin-1 systems with Hamiltonians of the form $H= \sum_j \vec{s}(j)\cdot\vec{s}(j+1) - β(\vec{s}(j)\cdot\vec{s}(j+1))^2$ about which, until now, little was known.

description: We derive two general transformations for certain basic hypergeometric series from the recurrence formulae for the partial numerators and denominators of two $q$-continued fractions previously investigated by the authors. By then specializing certain free parameters in these transformations, and employing various identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type, we derive \emph{$m$-versions} of these identities. Some of the identities thus found are new, and some have been derived previously by other authors, using different methods. By applying certain transformations due to Watson, Heine and Ramanujan, we derive still more examples of such $m$-versions of Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities.

description: The Bureau of Economic Geology has conducted a characterization of the geology and hydrology of the Ogallala and Blackwater Draw Formations at Reese Air Force Base to establish baseline information for better delineation of contamination on the base. Analysis of five cores revealed two predominant depositional facies: eolian sands and fluvial gravels. The gravels seem to extend continuously across the base and likely constitute the primary water-bearing unit, potentially serving as the main pathway for contaminant migration in the groundwater beneath the base. Continuous water-level recorder data from water-supply wells and monitoring wells on the base indicated a mix of confined and unconfined conditions. The degree of confinement may be influenced by the wells' proximity to the playa lakes on the base or by the relationship of the water levels in the wells to the top of the water-bearing gravel unit. This variability in confinement suggests a hydrological setting that is more intricate than typically recognized for the Ogallala aquifer.

description: The objective of this article is to present a synthesis of the methodological strategy adopted by the Faculty of Geography, at the University of Havana, in the face of the curricular emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; as a contribution and expression of experiences in the search for solutions to the problems caused to the educational process during this situation. The methodological strategy designed was based on an action-research methodology, in which methods and techniques were used, such as: field observation, survey to teachers and students, documentary analysis, discussion group and methodological triangulation. This unfinished study, due to the dynamics of the health situation in the country, shows the action plan implemented during the school years 2020 and 2021, as well as the actions implemented in the transition to the so-called "normality". The quantitative and qualitative assessment of the conceived methodological strategy reveals the need to urgently address the possession of technological means for the transmission-appropriation of content; the costs of connectivity; the preparation for the use of educational platforms; the effectiveness of independent study; among other problems that conspire against the comprehensive professional training of the student in educational circumstances of curricular emergency.
Statistical mechanics of permanent random atomic and molecular networks: Structure and heterogeneity of the amorphous solid state

description: Under sufficient permanent random covalent bonding, a fluid of atoms or small molecules is transformed into an amorphous solid network. Being amorphous, local structural properties in such networks vary across the sample. A natural order parameter, resulting from a statistical-mechanical approach, captures information concerning this heterogeneity via a certain joint probability distribution. This joint probability distribution describes the variations in the positional and orientational localization of the particles, reflecting the random environments experienced by them, as well as further information characterizing the thermal motion of particles. A complete solution, valid in the vicinity of the amorphous solidification transition, is constructed essentially analytically for the amorphous solid order parameter, in the context of the random network model and approach introduced by Goldbart and Zippelius [Europhys. Lett. 27, 599 (1994)]. Knowledge of this order parameter allows us to draw certain conclusions about the stucture and heterogeneity of randomly covalently bonded atomic or molecular network solids in the vicinity of the amorphous solidification transition. Inter alia, the positional aspects of particle localization are established to have precisely the structure obtained perviously in the context of vulcanized media, and results are found for the analogue of the spin glass order parameter describing the orientational freezing of the bonds between particles.

description: We consider a generalized Hubbard model with on-site and nearest-neighbour repulsions U and V respectively, and nearest-neighbour hopping for spin up (down) which depends on the total occupation n_b of spin down (up) electrons on both sites involved. The hopping parameters are t_{AA}, t_{AB} and t_{BB} for n_b=0,1,2 respectively. We briefly summarize results which support that the model exhibits s-wave superconductivity for certain parameters and extend them by studying the Berry phases. Using a generalized Hartree-Fock(HF) BCS decoupling of the two and three-body terms, we obtain that at half filling, for t_{AB}

description: The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway directs an important antiviral immunity mechanism in plants and invertebrates. Recently, we and others have demonstrated that the antiviral RNAi response is also conserved in mammals, at least to five distinct RNA viruses, including Zika virus (ZIKV). ZIKV may preferentially infect neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs) in the developing foetal brain. Ex vivo ZIKV infection induces RNAi-mediated antiviral response in human NPCs, but not in the more differentiated NPCs or somatic cells. However, litter is known about the in vivo property or function of the virus-derived small-interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) targeting ZIKV. Here we report a surprising observation: different from ex vivo observations, viral small RNAs (vsRNAs) targeting ZIKV were produced in vivo upon infection in both central neuron system (CNS) and muscle tissues. In addition, our findings demonstrate the production of canonical vsiRNAs in murine CNS upon antiviral RNAi activation by Sindbis virus (SINV), suggesting the possibility of antiviral immune strategy applied by mammals in the CNS.
The course of the Orphan Stream in the Northern Galactic Hemisphere traced with Gaia DR2

description: The Orphan Stream is one of the most prominent tidal streams in the Galactic halo. Using data on red giants, RR Lyrae, and horizontal branch stars from Gaia and other surveys, we determine the proper motion of the Orphan Stream over a path of more than 90 degrees on the sky. We also provide updated tracks for the sky position, distance, and radial velocity of the stream. Our tracks in these latter dimensions mostly agree with previous results. However, there are significant corrections to the earlier distance and latitude tracks as the stream approaches the Galactic disk. Stream stars selected with three-dimensional kinematics display a very tight red giant sequence. Concordantly, we find that applying a proper motion cut removes the most metal-rich stars from earlier spectroscopic samples of stream stars, though a significant dispersion remains indicating a dwarf galaxy origin. The deceleration of the stream towards its leading end suggests a circular velocity of ~200 km/s at a galactocentric radius ~30 kpc, consistent with other independent evidence. However, the track of the stream departs significantly from an orbit; the spatial track does not point along the same direction as the velocity vector, and it exhibits a lateral wiggle that is unlikely to match any reasonable orbit. The low metallicity and small dispersion of the stream in the various coordinates point to a progenitor with a relatively low dynamical mass ~$10^8$ Msun.
