Creators: name: Franklin, Anders
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1992

description: The fluorinated quinolones and the third generation cephalosporins are highly efficacious against gram-negative bacteria. Danofloxacin* and ceftiofur** are newly developed antimicrobials belonging to the fluoroquinolones and third generation cephalosporins, respectively. Danofloxacin and ceftiofur are very active against major bacterial pathogens in farm animals1,2. The objective of the present study was to investigate the bactericidal effect and time-kill kinetics exerted by danofloxacin and ceftiofur on bovine respiratory pathogens.

description: Das Konzept der Partizipation ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil zeitgenössischer Diskussionen über soziale Innovationen und die nachhaltige Transformation von Gesellschaft und Demokratie. In einer Zeit, in der Städte als Orte sozialer, ökonomischer und kultureller Transformation entwickelt werden, wird die aktive Beteiligung der Bewohner*innen an städtischen Entscheidungsprozessen als wesentlich für die Schaffung inklusiverer, gerechterer und resilienterer urbaner Gesellschaften betrachtet. Dieser Artikel nähert sich dem Thema aus der Perspektive der Citizen Science und beleuchtet deren Bedeutung für soziale Innovation in der Stadtforschung. In der Citizen Science forschen Bürger*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen gemeinsam zu wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Fragestellungen. Zunächst führt der Artikel in die unterschiedlichen Arten der Partizipation in der Citizen Science ein. Es werden die Vorteile, aber auch die Herausforderungen der Partizipation diskutiert – wie etwa die Problematik, wer wirklich partizipiert und wie Partizipation effektiv organisiert werden kann. Das steigende Interesse an partizipativen Ansätzen, sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Politik, lässt auf eine weiterwachsende Relevanz von Citizen Science schließen.

description: The measured redshifts of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which were first detected by the Swift satellite, seem to be bigger on average than the redshifts of GRBs detected by other satellites. We analyzed the redshift distribution of GRBs triggered and observed by different satellites (Swift[1], HETE2[2], BeppoSax, Ulyssses). After considering the possible biases significant difference was found at the p = 95.70% level in the redshift distributions of GRBs measured by HETE and the Swift.

description: H. somnus has been recognized as an important opportunistic pathogen associated with bovine morbidity worldwide. While data are available on the antimicrobial susceptibility of H. somnus these have been generated using the agar dilution (6,7) or disc diffusion (1) techniques. A broth medium is available for the testing of some Haemophilus species (4) although it has not been recommended for testing H. somnus. The broth microdilution technique offers advantages of economy, convenience and reproducibility over more traditional methods of susceptibility testing (3). In particular, the Sensititre® system, using commercially prepared antimicrobial plates with extended room temperature storage, is well suited to veterinary diagnostic laboratories. The objective of this study was to adapt the Sensititre broth microdilution technique for determination of the antimicrobial susceptibility of H. somnus field isolates.

IDA ICE Simulation

description: Mithilfe des Simulationsprogrammes IDA ICE wird anhand eines repräsentativen gründerzeitlichen Beispielgebäudes die Aussagekraft einer Energieausweisberechnung für solche Gebäudetypen in Frage gestellt. Aus ca. 100 Bestandsgebäuden mit einem Baujahr vor 1945 im Stile von Gründerzeitgebäuden wurde das repräsentative Objekt gewählt. Im Gegensatz zur stationären Berechnung, kann das Simulationsmodell auch instationäre Verhaltensabläufe von Nutzern, den Belegungsgrad und realistische Klimadaten berücksichtigen.Das Bestandsmodell wird mit Sanierungsvarianten und einem modernen Neubau nach fiktivem Abbruch des Bestandsgebäudes verglichen. Der Altbau kann dank Sanierungsmaßnahmen, wie Fenster- und Heizungstausch mit erneuerbaren Energieträgern, die definierten Vorgaben eines Gebäudezertifizierungssystem bezüglich des Primärenergiebedarfs einhalten. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie der Gebäudebestand mit Hilfe von realistischeren Simulationsergebnissen die EU-Taxonomie Konformität erfüllt und Kulturgut erhalten werden kann.
The Survival of Haemophilus Somnus on Transport Swabs

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1992

description: Since its initial description (4), Haemophilus somnus has been implicated as an important opportunist pathogen of cattle and of particular relevance is its role in bovine respiratory disease (5). Recovery of the organism from field specimens is often difficult and a number of selective media have been described (1,2) which can enhance it, but the manner in which the specimen is taken and subsequently treated can significantly affect the likelihood of successful recovery of this bacterium. It has been shown experimentally that the length of survival of H. somnus following inoculation into both bovine secretions (3) and alginate swabs (1) is temperature dependent. Since swabs taken from field specimens may need to be sent some distance to a laboratory before primary culture we report here the effect of storage temperature and composition of the transport medium on the rate of recovery of H. somnus from experimentally inoculated laryngeal swabs.

description: We propose a simple theoretical model for star formation in which the local star formation rate in a galaxy is determined by three factors. First, the interplay between the interstellar radiation field and molecular self-shielding determines what fraction of the gas is in molecular form and thus eligible to form stars. Second, internal feedback determines the properties of the molecular clouds that form, which are nearly independent of galaxy properties until the galactic ISM pressure becomes comparable to the internal GMC pressure. Above this limit, galactic ISM pressure determines molecular gas properties. Third, the turbulence driven by feedback processes in GMCs makes star formation slow, allowing a small fraction of the gas to be converted to stars per free-fall time within the molecular clouds. We combine analytic estimates for each of these steps to formulate a single star formation law, and show that the predicted correlation between star formation rate, metallicity, and surface densities of atomic, molecular, and total gas agree well with observations.

Dinoflagellates and vitamin B12 in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia
Creators: name: Cattell, Sidney Allen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to compare the distribution of dinoflagellates in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia with a number of environmental parameters, and in particular with vitamin B₁₂ concentrations. The latter was determined by a modified bioassay technique, employing the marine dinoflagellate, Amphidinium carterae Hulburt. The conclusions are based on the analysis of 511 samples from 19 cruises. The annual cycle of vitamin B₁₂ found to be characterized by three major peaks of concentration: 1) a peak following the spring 'bloom' of phytoplankton; 2) a summer increase that was closely associated with silt particles contained in river runoff; and 3) a fall maximum that followed the breakdown of density gradients in the water column. Seventy-seven species of dinoflagellates were recorded from the Strait of Georgia. The temporal distribution of dinoflagellates was divided into two distinct periods of abundance: one occurring during the early spring months and another during the summer months. The results of multiple regression analyses between the dinoflagellates and the environmental parameters measured (vitamin B₁₂, nitrogen, phosphorus, zooplankton, temperature, salinity and sunlight) indicated that the size of the dinoflagellate community in the early spring was closely associated with vitamin B₁₂ concentration in the water column. Nitrogen concentration was apparently a significant factor in determining the size of the community during the late summer months. Phosphorus concentration did not appear to be closely related with total dinoflagellate numbers. The composition and seasonal distribution of the dinoflagellates was found to be essentially similar to that of other northern temperate neritic waters. The major exception was the presence of a distinct spring component in the Strait of Georgia, consisting largely of small nonthecate species.
Self-gravitating Brownian particles in two dimensions: the case of N=2 particles

description: We study the motion of N=2 overdamped Brownian particles in gravitational interaction in a space of dimension d=2. This is equivalent to the simplified motion of two biological entities interacting via chemotaxis when time delay and degradation of the chemical are ignored. This problem also bears some similarities with the stochastic motion of two point vortices in viscous hydrodynamics [Agullo & Verga, Phys. Rev. E, 63, 056304 (2001)]. We analytically obtain the density probability of finding the particles at a distance r from each other at time t. We also determine the probability that the particles have coalesced and formed a Dirac peak at time t (i.e. the probability that the reduced particle has reached r=0 at time t). Finally, we investigate the variance of the distribution and discuss the proper form of the virial theorem for this system. The reduced particle has a normal diffusion behaviour for small times with a gravity-modified diffusion coefficient =r_0^2+(4k_B/ξμ)(T-T_*)t, where k_BT_{*}=Gm_1m_2/2 is a critical temperature, and an anomalous diffusion for large times ~t^(1-T_*/T). As a by-product, our solution also describes the growth of the Dirac peak (condensate) that forms in the post-collapse regime of the Smoluchowski-Poisson system (or Keller-Segel model) for T

description: This paper tackles the challenge of detecting unreliable behavior in regression algorithms, which may arise from intrinsic variability (e.g., aleatoric uncertainty) or modeling errors (e.g., model uncertainty). First, we formally introduce the notion of unreliability in regression, i.e., when the output of the regressor exceeds a specified discrepancy (or error). Then, using powerful tools for probabilistic modeling, we estimate the discrepancy density, and we measure its statistical diversity using our proposed metric for statistical dissimilarity. In turn, this allows us to derive a data-driven score that expresses the uncertainty of the regression outcome. We show empirical improvements in error detection for multiple regression tasks, consistently outperforming popular baseline approaches, and contributing to the broader field of uncertainty quantification and safe machine learning systems.

description: Pasteurella haemolytica biotype A, serotype 1 (Al) has been established as the primary agent responsible for the clinical disease and pathophysiologic events leading to acute lobar fibrinonecrotizing pneumonia associated with bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis(1,2,3). The bacteria produces several potential virulent factors, of which the leukotoxin (LKT) has received the most attention(4). The LKT is a heat-labile proteinaceous exotoxin, that is oxygen-stable, non-dialyzable, water soluble, and is produced in high concentrations by P.haemolytica during the logarithmic phase of growth(5). The genes that code for the synthesis and secretion of this LKT have been cloned(6). All 15 serotypes of P. haemolytica produce LKT(7). It has a molecular weight of 101-105kDa when determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis(8). Attempts to purify the LKT has been futile because it is tightly bound to the LPS and there is no efficient way to remove the LPS without inactivating the LKT. It is one of a family of RTX(repeat toxins)-pore forming cytolysin which has a unique specificity, in that it is only cytocidal to ruminant leukocytes(9). This cytotoxicity is caused by the formation of pores in the cell membrane which allows the influx of calcium and results in a sequence of cell-damaging events(lO). Since this organism produces disease only in ruminants, this would support the role of LKT as a virulence factor. Indeed, several observations point to the central role that LKT has in the pathogenesis of pneumonic pasteurellosis. For example, in experimental pasteurellosis, the clinical and pathophysiologic events are dose-dependently reproduced by the intatracheal administration of live logarithmic phase P. haemolytica and not by stationary phase organisms(ll). This enhanced pathogenicity may be related to the amount of LKT produced by these different populations. Indeed, we (5) and others(12)* have shown that the logarithmic phase cells produce far greater amounts of this LKT than stationary cells. In other studies, cattle with high LKT neutralizing antibody titers have higher survival rates in the natural disease and experimental pasteurellosis than animals with low antibody titers(13). Although advances have been made in describing the cytolytic properties of the P.haemolytica LKT, the mechanisms by which it brings about lung injury in cattle are poorly understood. Our laboratory has long been interested in elucidating the contributions and mechanisms by which the LKT induce this acute lung injury in pneumonic pasteurellosis. Three experiments were designed to study if the LKT contributed in the genesis of lung injury in pneumonic pasteurellosis.

description: Various antibiotics have been used in the treatment of bacterial infections in domestic animals. In recent years, however, outbreaks of infections due to microorganisms resistant to antibiotics are often observed (1, 2, 3). The antibacterial quinolone derivatives does not show cross-resistance with antibiotics (4). AT-4526, 1-cyclopropyl-5,6,8-trifluoro-1 ,4- dihydro-7-(cis-3,5-dimethyl-1-piperazinyl)-4-oxoquinoline-3- carboxylic acid (Fig. 1), is a new quinolone derivative which was synthesized in 1986 (5). This compound, as well as the structurally related enrofloxacin (6), has a high order of activity against a broad spectrum of gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria, and Mycoplasma spp .. This paper describes the in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of AT-4526 against field isolates in domestic animals and the comparison with those of enrofloxacin (ERFX), oxytetracycline (OTC), tylosin (TS), thiamphenicol (TP), kanamycin (KM) and ampicillin (ABPC).

description: Bacterial respiratory diseases and diarrhea in the calves are causing great economic losses. So, antibacterial agents are often used to prevent and medicate to the diseases. Recently, bacteria resistant to antibiotics are increasing and causing severe problem in clinical field (1, 2). AT-4526, 1-cyclopropyl-5,6,8-trifluoro-l, 4-dihydro-7-(cis-3,5-dimethyl-1-piperazinyl)-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, a new quinolone derivative, has broad and potent antibacterial activity, and is not cross-resistanct with antibiotics (3). It is well absorbed and distributed to most tissues of calves by intramuscular (i.m.) administration (4). Therefore, it is suggested that AT-4526 is useful for bacterial diseases in various animals. This report describes the efficacies of AT-4526 against spontaneous bacterial respiratory diseases and diarrhea in calves.

description: We present a new multi-fluid, grid MHD code PIERNIK, which is based on the Relaxing TVD scheme (Jin & Xin, 1995). The original scheme (see Trac & Pen (2003) and Pen et al. (2003)) has been extended by an addition of dynamically independent, but interacting fluids: dust and a diffusive cosmic ray gas, described within the fluid approximation, with an option to add other fluids in an easy way. The code has been equipped with shearing-box boundary conditions, and a selfgravity module, Ohmic resistivity module, as well as other facilities which are useful in astrophysical fluid-dynamical simulations. The code is parallelized by means of the MPI library. In this paper we present an extension of PIERNIK, which is designed for simulations of diffusive propagation of the Cosmic-Ray (CR) component in the magnetized ISM.

It has broad and potent antibacterial activities against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, anaerobes and Mycoplasma spp. (1). Its in vivo activity was generally higher than those of structurally related enrofloxacin and certain antibiotics such as oxytetracycline, kanamycin, and ampicillin in experimental infections in mice even in the case of less potent in vitro activity (1).

description: Recent extensions of Datalog that consider the temporal dimension as a first-class citizen have unlocked the possibility of using its temporal variants, such as DatalogMTL, to model and reason about complex financial domains. Very relevant ones are crypto-activity markets, which, according to the recent Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) of the EU, are described by white papers published by crypto-assets issuers. In particular, the issuers publish semi-structured information about the assets they are willing to offer. Then, the assets are implemented in decentralized finance contexts (i.e., in a blockchain) as executable scripts known as smart contracts. However, these scripts are often criticized for their complexity, which makes them challenging to understand and communicate. On the other hand, in our experience, the availability of a declarative and executable representation of a crypto-activity market fosters a better understanding of that market as well as improved transparency, reproducibility and, as a consequence, increased fairness. These characteristics are of major interest to the financial authorities for example for supervision purposes. In this paper, we study the problem of automatically translating textual descriptions of crypto-assets, written according to the MiCAR specifications, into DatalogMTL programs that represent and capture the respective crypto-activity market. To this end, we opt for a machine translation approach and leverage a Large Language Model. We discuss promising techniques and preliminary experimental results.

description: This is a study of a monochromatic planar perturbation impinging upon a canonical acoustic hole. We show that acoustic hole scattering shares key features with black hole scattering. The interference of wavefronts passing in opposite senses around the hole creates regular oscillations in the scattered intensity. We examine this effect by applying a partial wave method to compute the differential scattering cross section for a range of incident wavelengths. We demonstrate the existence of a scattering peak in the backward direction, known as the glory. We show that the glory created by the canonical acoustic hole is approximately 170 times less intense than the glory created by the Schwarzschild black hole, for equivalent horizon-to-wavelength ratios. We hope that direct experimental observations of such effects may be possible in the near future.

description: Respiratory diseases represent the main cause of morbidity and mortality in veal calf production. Viruses (PI3, RSV, ... ), bacteria (Pasteurella spp., Haemophilus somnus, ...) and mycoplasma (M. bovis) are the main causative agents of such infections. Therapeutic treatment remains based upon the administration of antibiotics in order to limit bacterial and mycoplasmal surinfections. The purpose of the studies described hereafter was to demonstrate the marked affinity of spiramycin for tissues and, consequently, the efficacy of this macrolid antibiotic in the treatment of respiratory diseases in calves.

User empowerment

description: Recommender systems can have a substantial impact on individual choices and on society as a whole. However, there is no clear set of norms for the design and use of recommender systems. This paper argues that Digital Humanism can provide a framework to foster more ethical and value-driven technology design. It emphasizes values such as human rights, democracy, and inclusion, and offers a critical perspective on implicit norms that typically guide system design. From this perspective, norms for recommender systems should strive to counteract information and power asymmetries, strengthen democratic societies, and protect users’ dignity, freedom, and self-determination. Users should be given more control over their data and over the recommendations that they receive. Future research directions are outlined, encompassing transparent optimization objectives, user empowerment in modeling, democratic control mechanisms, and strategies for ethical personalization.

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) remains a major economic problem for both the beef and dairy cattle industries in the U.S. (1). Recent estimates of the losses due to BRO exceed a billion dolars annually which is greater than all other diseases combined (2). The most common sequel observed in BRD is a fulminating fibrinonecrotic pleuropneumonia called shipping fever or pneumonic pasteurellosis. Although BRD is a multifactorial disease involving interaction between a number of environmental factors, various viruses and bacteria, Pasteurella haemolytica biotype A serotype 1 (A1) also called serotype 1 (ST1) has been established as the primary agent involved in the pathogenesis of the pneumonia (3). P. haemolytica ST1 can be isolated in pure culture from typical pneumonic lesions of the disease (4).

description: Our recent neutron scattering measurements of phonons and magnons in solid α-oxygen have led us to a new understanding of the production mechanismen of ultra-cold-neutrons (UCN) in this super-thermal converter. The UCN production in solid α-oxygen is dominated by the excitation of phonons. The contribution of magnons to UCN production becomes only slightly important above E >10 meV and at E >4 meV. Solid α-oxygen is in comparison to solid deuterium less effcient in the down-scattering of thermal or cold neutrons into the UCN energy regime.

description: A comparison of the effects of two antiinflammatory drugs, flunixine meglumine (FM) and tolfenamic acid (TA) has been conducted in cattle using a tissue cage model. "Practice" polypropylene golf balls have been implanted subcutaneously in the neck of 12 young males calves. After a 3 weeks stabilisation period, an acute inflammatory reaction has been induced with an injection in the tissue cage of a 2% carragenine sterile solution. After randomisation of the animals in 3 groups : one received an intramuscular injection of distilled water (placebo), another group was treated with 2 mg/Kg FM intramuscularly, the third group received TA at the same posology and through the same route. Starting half an hour after the carragenine injection the tissue cage exudate were collected seven times during the first 48 hours to measure the prostaglandine E2 level using a radioimmunologic method. To decrease the variability between animals the study has been conducted in a cross-over way, each series starting three weeks after the other. A statistical analysis of all datas has been done using a paired series test after a log10 transformation of the prostaglandine E2 concentrations. The comparisons between placebo and FM groups and between placebo and TA groups are in accordance with the validity of the model. The inhibition of the production of prostaglandine E2 for both antiinflammatory drugs confirm their action on the cyclo-oxygenase. The statistical comparisons demonstrate as well the superiority of FM on TA.

description: Rotaviruses are known to cause acute viral gastroenteritis in neonatal calves8. In recent years these viruses were found to be associated with 40-50% cases of diarrhoea in neonatal calves in India,2 Though the pathogenesis of rotavirus infection has been studied in calves5,6, the information on morphometric's of intestine in rotavirus infected calves is not sufficiently available. The present work therefore was undertaken in order to study the changes in small and large intestine at different time intervals.

description: In the framework of the slave-boson approach to the $t-t'-t''-J$ model, it is found that for electron-doped high-$T_c$ cuprates, the staggered antiferromagnetic (AF) order coexists with superconducting (SC) order in a wide doping level ranged from underdoped to nearly optimal doping at the mean-field level. In the coexisting phase, it is revealed that the spin response is commensurate in a substantial frequency range below a crossover frequency $ω_{c}$ for all dopings considered, and it switches to the incommensurate structure when the frequency is higher than $ω_{c}$. This result is in agreement with the experimental measurements. Comparison of the spin response between the coexisting phase and the pure SC phase with a $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave pairing plus a higher harmonics term (DP+HH) suggests that the inclusion of the two-band effect is important to consistently account for both the dispersion of the spin response and the non-monotonic gap behavior in the electron-doped cuprates.

Interferon Activity in Bovine Colostrum and Milk

description: Studies have shown that IFNs have potent immunologic (1,2) and antiviral (3,4) activity in both in vitro and in vivo testing in the bovine species. In calves given IFN orally, enteric disease due to rotavirus or mixed rotavirus and coronavirus infection was prevented or reduced(5). Interferons are also involved in immunity to protozoal infections (6), and a polypeptide with many characteristics similar to an alpha IFN has been identified that stimulated macrophages to inhibit intracellular development of Eimeria bovis (7). In preliminary studies, calves administered partially purified natural bovine alpha IFN intravenously had less coccidial diarrhea than control calves (8). Although lymphocytes isolated from human colostrum and milk are capable of producing interferon ( IFN) when stimulated in vitro (9,10), assays of human colostrum and milk for IFN have usually yielded negative results (9-11). Since bovine peripheral blood lymphocytes, when stimulated with virus, are capable of producing alpha IFN (12), it would seem logical that these cells in mammary secretions would also have this ability. The only citation of the spontaneous occurrence of IFN in milk or colostrum from any species is a brief mention that a sample from one woman's breast milk contained antiviral activity (11). It was not known whether this woman was infected with a virus (11). It has been well documented, however, that when mother mice were inoculated with Newcastle disease virus, their milk contained measurable lFN (7). Furthermore, the newborns suckling such mothers had a significantly greater survival rate than that of controls after lethal challenge with vesicular stomatitis virus (7). Since most mammalian infants have a lower incidence of neonatal disease when raised on maternal milk as opposed to milk replacer (13,14), it was hypothesized that interferons in mammary secretions may play an important role in neonatal immunity. Since bovine milk and colostrum had not been heretofore examined, the objective of this study was to determine whether IFN could be found in detectable levels in normal bovine colostrum and milk.

description: Given a fibration over the circle, we relate the eigenspace decomposition of the algebraic monodromy, the homological finiteness properties of the fiber, and the formality properties of the total space. In the process, we prove a more general result about iterated group extensions. As an application, we obtain new criteria for formality of spaces, and 1-formality of groups, illustrated by bundle constructions and various examples from low-dimensional topology and singularity theory.

description: Infections with bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) cause a wide spectrum of clinical syndromes throughout the world (1). The outcome of a transplacental infection includes foetal death, teratogenic effects and the birth of persistently infected (PI) calves (9) which are immunotolerant to the non-cytopathic strain of BVDV they harbour. Due to the tolerance such calves have no, or only a low level of, antibodies to BVDV. Persistently infected cattle may perform normally but they are often recognized as beeing small at birth, having a poor growth rate and an unthrifty appearance. They also seem to have an increased susceptibility to other infections (2) and are the cattle population at risk of developing the fatal condition mucosal disease (11). It is far from understood why PI cattle usually are small and have a retarded growth. Obviously, in some cases, this can be explained by the presence of chronic bacterial infections, which in turn may be attributed to a immunosuppressive state of the calves since BVDV infects the cells of the immune system. However, there are PI calves without signs of bacterial infections that are small. Since Srinivas et al (10) report that human patients with viral infections have altered concentrations of trace elements it is tempting to speculate that also a persistent BVDV infection can interfere with the body metabolism. The aim of this study was to examine the serum concentrations of copper, zinc and iron during persistent infection with BVDV in calves. Further, the levels of these trace elements levels were related to the heart girth of the calves.

description: Landmarks are an important cognitive element in conveying route information in indoor navigation, and their extraction methods have matured. However, in the existing indoor navigation maps, the representa-tion of landmarks is not optimal, making it difficult to obtain spatial knowledge related to navigation (e.g., landmark knowledge and route knowledge). To close this gap, we propose a conceptual model of indoor nav-igation map design with a landmark hierarchy containing three levels by ad-justing the size and highlight of landmark expression, which should contrib-ute to enhancing indoor spatial knowledge. As a proof of concept, a case study is being conducted to evaluate the differences in indoor spatial knowledge of users.
Coisotropic D-branes on AdS4 x CP3 and massive deformations

description: We scan for massive type IIA SU(3)-structure compactifications of the type AdS4 x CP3 with internal symmetry group SO(4). This group acts on CP3 with cohomogeneity one, so that one would expect new non-homogeneous solutions. We find however that all such solutions enhance their symmetry group to Sp(2) and form, in fact, the homogeneous family first described in arXiv:0712.1396. This is in accordance with arXiv:0901.0969, which argues from the CFT-side that although new vacua with SO(4) symmetry group and N=2 supersymmetry should exist, they fall outside our ansatz of strict SU(3)-structure, and instead have genuine SU(3)x SU(3)-structure. We do find that the SO(4)-invariant description, which singles out one preferential direction in the internal space, is well-adapted for describing the embedding of AdS4-filling supersymmetric D8-branes on both the original ABJM configuration as its massive Sp(2)-symmetric deformations.Supersymmetry requires these D-branes to be of the coisotropic type, which means in particular that their world-volume gauge field must be non-trivial.
