description: Two-dimensional electron or hole systems in semiconductors offer the unique opportunity to investigate the physics of strongly interacting fermions. We have measured the 1/f resistance noise of two-dimensional hole systems in high mobility GaAs quantum wells, at densities below that of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) at zero magnetic field. Two techniques voltage and current fluctuations were used. The normalized noise power SR/R2 increases strongly when the hole density or the temperature are decreased. The temperature dependence is steeper at the lowest densities. This contradicts the predictions of the modulation approach in the strong localization hopping transport regime. The hypothesis of a second order phase transition or percolation transition at a density below that of the MIT is thus reinforced.

description: The bottled water market in the U.S. is a recent development. Most water bottlers had traditionally positioned their products as an alternative to tap water. A few imported waters were sold for health reasons. The real growth in the bottled water market took place in the second half of 1970s when Perrier was introduced as anon alcoholic, chic alternative to soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. Bottled water accounted for $3.2 billion sales in 1992 out of a total beverage sales of $159 billion. Although bottled water is the smallest in terms of revenue, its gallonage market share stood at 8.7 percent, and it is by far the fastest growing category of all beverages. The future prospects of the bottled water industry in the U.S. appear bright due to the deterioration of municipal water supplies, interest in healthy living, and the movement of bottled water into main stream as a refreshment beverage. Currently, there are over 700 bottled water manufacturers in the U.S. The leader among these is the Perrier Group with almost one-fourth of the market. Although the Perrier Group is a foreign firm, most of its sales are generated from U.S. brands that this company has acquired over the years. For example, its only imported brand Perrier, accounted for only 1.7 percent of the market in 1993. Overall, imports have less than 4 percent of the U.S. bottled water market. This situation is no different than in the beer or soft drink industry. But there is one exception. While lead players in the beer and soft drink industries are U.S. companies, in the case of bottled water the three among the first five industry members are foreign firms, (i.e., Perrier Group, Suntory International and Evian), accounted for about one-third of industry sales.

description: Macroautophagy/autophagy is a multistep degradative process that is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and is often dysregulated during disease. Systematically quantifying flux through this pathway is critical for gaining fundamental insights and effectively modulating this process. Established methods to quantify flux use steady-state measurements, which provide limited information about the perturbation and the cellular response. We present a theoretical and experimental framework to measure autophagic steps in the form of rates under non-steady-state conditions. We use this approach to measure temporal responses to rapamycin and wortmannin treatments, two commonly used autophagy modulators. We quantified changes in autophagy rates in as little as 10 min, which can establish direct mechanisms for autophagy perturbation before feedback begins. We identified concentration-dependent effects of rapamycin on the initial and temporal progression of autophagy rates. We also found variable recovery time from wortmannin’s inhibition of autophagy, which is further accelerated by rapamycin. Furthermore, we applied this approach to study the effect of serum and glutamine starvation on autophagy. Serum starvation led to a rapid and transient increase in all the rates. Glutamine starvation led to a decrease in the rates on a longer timescale. In summary, this new approach enables the quantification of autophagy flux with high sensitivity and temporal resolution and facilitates a comprehensive understanding of this process.
Rethinking pacts : dealing with Pinochet in an altered world
Creators: name: Burnside, Ross
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Since the middle of the 1980s a scholarly consensus has built up around the purportedly positive role that "pacts" can play in Latin American democratic transitions. It has been contended that pacts, although an undemocratic route to democracy, may well ultimately have a positive role in establishing a democracy, and provide a positive model for other countries in the region to emulate. Today, however, there are signs that attitudes towards these pacted transitions may be changing. In recent years, pacts in Venezuela, Colombia, and Chile have collapsed or unraveled as a consequence of changing domestic and international conditions. The situation that has been left in the wake of these alterations suggests the legacy of the pacted democratic transition type may not be as impressive as was once thought. Observation of the current situation in these nations unveils a strikingly different picture than was painted in the initial literature on them. Far from pacts being beneficial to the future development of stable and effective democracy, what can be seen most clearly in these instances is a background of impunity, corruption, lack of accountability or responsiveness, and the distortion of the most basic features of polyarchy, all overshadowing a procedural democratic foreground. This study argues that the scholarship on "pacts" has some important flaws, yet has largely gone unchallenged. It also argues that some quite fundamental change has been, and is going on in the world today, and this change can have a crucial impact on domestic institutions. Combining these two ideas with empirical analysis from contemporary Chile and the Pinochet saga, I contend that it is time to rethink the consensus that seems to have built up around the notion of pacts in Latin America.

description: Electrical manipulation of emergent phenomena due to nontrivial band topology is a key to realize next-generation technology using topological protection. A Weyl semimetal is a three-dimensional gapless system that hosts Weyl fermions as low-energy quasiparticles. It exhibits various exotic phenomena such as large anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and chiral anomaly, which have robust properties due to the topologically protected Weyl nodes. To manipulate such phenomena, the magnetic version of Weyl semimetals would be useful as a magnetic texture may provide a handle for controlling the locations of Weyl nodes in the Brillouin zone. Moreover, given the prospects of antiferromagnetic (AF) spintronics for realizing high-density devices with ultrafast operation, it would be ideal if one could electrically manipulate an AF Weyl metal. However, no report has appeared on the electrical manipulation of a Weyl metal. Here we demonstrate the electrical switching of a topological AF state and its detection by AHE at room temperature. In particular, we employ a polycrystalline thin film of the AF Weyl metal Mn$_3$Sn, which exhibits zero-field AHE. Using the bilayer device of Mn$_3$Sn and nonmagnetic metals (NMs), we find that an electrical current density of $\sim 10^{10}$-$10^{11}$ A/m$^2$ in NMs induces the magnetic switching with a large change in Hall voltage, and besides, the current polarity along a bias field and the sign of the spin Hall angle $θ_{\rm SH}$ of NMs [Pt ($θ_{\rm SH} > 0$), Cu($θ_{\rm SH} \sim 0$), W ($θ_{\rm SH} < 0$)] determines the sign of the Hall voltage. Notably, the electrical switching in the antiferromagnet is made using the same protocol as the one used for ferromagnetic metals. Our observation may well lead to another leap in science and technology for topological magnetism and AF spintronics.

description: We consider unsteady undular bores for a pair of coupled equations of Boussinesq-type which contain the familiar fully nonlinear dissipationless shallow-water dynamics and the leading-order fully nonlinear dispersive terms. This system contains one horizontal space dimension and time and can be systematically derived from the full Euler equations for irrotational flows with a free surface using a standard long-wave asymptotic expansion. In this context the system was first derived by Su and Gardner. It coincides with the one-dimensional flat-bottom reduction of the Green-Naghdi system and, additionally, has recently found a number of fluid dynamics applications other than the present context of shallow-water gravity waves. We then use the Whitham modulation theory for a one-phase periodic travelling wave to obtain an asymptotic analytical description of an undular bore in the Su-Gardner system for a full range of "depth" ratios across the bore. The positions of the leading and trailing edges of the undular bore and the amplitude of the leading solitary wave of the bore are found as functions of this "depth ratio". The formation of a partial undular bore with a rapidly-varying finite-amplitude trailing wave front is predicted for ``depth ratios'' across the bore exceeding 1.43. The analytical results from the modulation theory are shown to be in excellent agreement with full numerical solutions for the development of an undular bore in the Su-Gardner system.

description: High blood glucose is one of the risk factors for metabolic disease and INS (insulin) is the key regulatory hormone for glucose homeostasis. Hypoinsulinemia accompanied with hyperglycemia was diagnosed in mice with pancreatic β-cells exhibiting autophagy deficiency; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. The role of secretory autophagy in the regulation of metabolic syndrome is gaining more attention. Our data demonstrated that increased macroautophagic/autophagic activity leads to induction of insulin secretion in β-cells both in vivo and in vitro under high-glucose conditions. Moreover, proteomic analysis of purified autophagosomes from β-cells identified a group of vesicular transport proteins participating in insulin secretion, implying that secretory autophagy regulates insulin exocytosis. RAB37, a small GTPase, regulates vesicle biogenesis, trafficking, and cargo release. We demonstrated that the active form of RAB37 increased MAP1LC3/LC3 lipidation (LC3-II) and is essential for the promotion of insulin secretion by autophagy, but these phenomena were not observed in rab37 knockout (rab37-/-) cells and mice. Unbalanced insulin and glucose concentration in the blood was improved by manipulating autophagic activity using a novel autophagy inducer niclosamide (an antihelminthic drug) in a high-fat diet (HFD)-obesity mouse model. In summary, we reveal that secretory autophagy promotes RAB37-mediated insulin secretion to maintain the homeostasis of insulin and glucose both in vitro and in vivo.

description: We study spherically symmetric black hole solutions in a four-parameter Einstein-Cartan-type class of theories, called "torsion bigravity". These theories offer a geometric framework (with a metric and an independent torsionfull connection) for a modification of Einstein's theory that has the same spectrum as bimetric gravity models. In addition to an Einsteinlike massless spin-2 excitation, there is a massive spin-2 one (of range $κ^{-1}$) coming from the torsion sector, rather than from a second metric. We prove the existence of three broad classes of spherically-symmetric black hole solutions in torsion bigravity. First, the Schwarzschild solution defines an asymptotically-flat torsionless black hole for all values of the parameters. [And we prove that one cannot deform a Schwarzschild solution, at the linearized level, by adding an infinitesimal torsion hair.] Second, when considering finite values of the range, we find that there exist non-asymptotically-flat torsion-hairy black holes in a large domain of parameter space. Third, we find that, in the limit of infinite range, there exists a two-parameter family of asymptotically flat torsion-hairy black holes. The latter black hole solutions give an interesting example of non-Einsteinian (but still purely geometric) black hole structures which might be astrophysically relevant when considering a range of cosmological size.

description: We model Boston fluid milk market after taking into account strategic interactions of the processors and retailers and estimate it using monthly propriety retail scanner data and other data from public sources from 1996 to 2000. Market demand is modeled using flexible nested logit demand system and processor level cost is modeled using flexible generalized Leontief cost function. Our modeled is flexible enough to capture the nature of competition between brands within store and across stores. We find that the brands compete much more vigorously within store and than across stores. This structure of competition fits squarely with Slade's (1995) assumption on retail competition. We also explore strategic implications of the North East Dairy Compact on retailers and processors using emerging methodologies of antitrust simulation. The predictions from the antitrust simulation analysis are consistent with the concept of "focal point pricing" at the Compact implementation, suggesting an increase of market power in the fluid milk marketing channel. Our estimated brand level total channel price cost margins also show that the margins increased after the Compact implementation.

description: The industrialization of agriculture not only alters the ways in which agricultural production occurs, but also impacts the decisions farmers make in important ways. First, constraints created by the economic environment of farming limit what options a farmer has available to him. Second, because of the industrialization of agriculture and the resulting economic pressures it creates for farmers, the fact that decision are constrained creates new ethical challenges for farmers. Having fewer options when faced with severe economic pressures is a very different situation for farmers than having many options available. We discuss the implications of constrained choice and show that it increases the likelihood that farmers will consider unethical behavior.

description: Although many physical arguments account for using a modified definition of time delay in multichannel-type scattering processes, one can hardly find rigorous results on that issue in the literature. We try to fill in this gap by showing, both in an abstract setting and in a short-range case, the identity of the modified time delay and the Eisenbud-Wigner time delay in waveguides. In the short-range case we also obtain limiting absorption principles, state spectral properties of the total Hamiltonian, prove the existence of the wave operators and show an explicit formula for the S-matrix. The proofs rely on stationary and commutator methods.

description: The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which trust directly affects public support for biotechnology, particularly in applications to food production and genetic modification of crop plants. Unlike previous research in which trust is assumed to be exogenous, this paper posits that trust is endogenously determined. An econometric model is developed that controls for the endogeneity of trust using instrumental variable and selection correction techniques. Using data from the U.S. Biotechnology Study, this study finds that the effect of trust on public support is substantially stronger than previous estimates.

description: An inverse live hog demand model was estimated to analyze claims that the live hog own quantity demand flexibility's magnitude has increased in recent years. A second objective of this research was to estimate the impact changes in processing capacity utilization rates have on live hog prices. Results indicate that in recent years live hog prices have become more responsive to changes in hog slaughter, slaughter weight, and cold storage stocks. Additionally, changes in processing capacity utilization rates, at times, also have a relatively large impact on live hog prices. Finally, when the large live hog price decline that occurred during the fall of 1998 is examined, model results indicate that the sharp increase in processor's capacity utilization rates, an increase in average dressed weight, and the increase in hog slaughter all had a large negative effect on live hog prices.

description: The irreducible representations (IRs) of the double cover of the Euclidean group with parity in three dimensions are subduced to the corresponding cubic space group. The reduction of these representations gives the mapping of continuum angular momentum states to the lattice in the case of non-zero linear momentum. The continuous states correspond to lattice states with the same momentum and continuum rotational quantum numbers decompose into those of the IRs of the little group of the momentum vector on the lattice. The inverse mapping indicates degeneracies that will appear between levels of different lattice IRs in the continuum limit, recovering the continuum angular momentum multiplets. An example of this inverse mapping is given for the case of the ``moving'' isotropic harmonic oscillator.

Additionally, spatial competition is incorporated into the basis models. Using weekly corn and soybean basis pattern data from 1993 through 2001 for multiple locations in Missouri, and incorporating a variable for when the LDP is in effect, empirical models examining factors affecting corn and soybean basis pattern patterns are estimated. Results indicate that the presence of the LDP program has a significant economic impact on soybean basis. Furthermore, spatial competition strengthens corn basis.
Self-consistent Color-Mass-to-Light-Ratio relations for Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

description: The color - stellar mass-to-light ratio relation (CMLR) is a widely accepted tool to estimate the stellar mass (M*) of a galaxy. However, an individual CMLR tends to give distinct M* for a same galaxy when it is applied in different bands. Examining five representative CMLRs from literature, we find that the difference in M* predicted in different bands from optical to near-infrared by a CMLR is 0.1-0.3 dex. Therefore, based on a sample of low surface brightness galaxies (LSBG) that covers a wide range of color and luminosity, we re-calibrated each original CMLR in r, i, z, J, H, and K bands to give internally self-consistent M* for a same galaxy. The g-r is the primary color indicator in the re-calibrated relations which show little dependenceon red (r - z) or near-infrared (J - K) colors.Additionally, the external discrepancies in the originally predicted stellar mass-to-light ratio (M*/L) by the five independent CMLRs have been greatly reduced after re-calibration, especially in near-infrared bands, implying that the near-infrared luminosities are more robust to predict M*/L. For each CMLR, the re-calibrated relations provided in this work could produce internally self-consistent M* from divergent photometric bands, and are extensions of the re-calibrations from Johnson-Cousin filter system by the pioneering work of McGaugh & Schombert (2014) to SDSS filter system.

For this purpose we define a sequence of new algorithms whose error/cost properties improve from step to step. These algorithms yield new upper complexity bounds, which differ from known lower bounds by only an arbitrarily small positive parameter in the exponent, and a logarithmic factor. In both the randomized and quantum settings, initial-value problems turn out to be essentially as difficult as scalar integration.

description: Decision-making roles of various levels of management in retail food firms were identified. Particular attention was focused on: (1) identifying the range of responsibility for each level of management, and (2) identifying the degree of involvement for each level of management. A "funneling" effect was depicted in the decision-making process, progressing from general policy decisions by upper level management to more specific operating decisions by store level management.

description: We show that the epoch(s) of reionization when the ionization fraction of the universe is about half can be determined by correlating Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature maps with 21-cm line maps at degree scales ($l\sim 100$). During reionization peculiar motion of free electrons induces the Doppler anisotropy of the CMB, while density fluctuations of neutral hydrogen induce the 21-cm line anisotropy. In our simplified model of inhomogeneous reionization, a positive correlation arises as the universe reionizes whereas a negative correlation arises as it recombines; thus, the sign of the correlation provides information on the reionization history which cannot be obtained by presently. The signal comes mainly from large scales (k~0.01 Mpc^-1) where linear perturbation theory is valid and complexity due to patchy reionization is averaged out. Since the Doppler signal comes from ionized regions and the 21-cm comes from neutral ones, the correlation has a well-defined peak(s) in redshift when the ionization fraction of the universe is about half. Furthermore, the cross-correlation is much less sensitive to systematic errors, especially foreground emission, than the auto-correlation of 21-cm lines: this is analogous to the temperature-polarization correlation of the CMB being more immune to systematic errors than the polarization-polarization. Therefore, we argue that the Doppler-21cm correlation provides a robust measurement of the 21-cm anisotropy, which can also be used as a diagnostic tool for detected signals in the 21-cm data -- detection of the cross-correlation provides the strongest confirmation that the signal is of cosmological origin. We show that the Square Kilometer Array can easily measure the predicted correlation signal for 1~year of survey observation.

description: As shown by the development of Special Relativity the simultaneity concept should be related to that of reference frame. Poincare' proposed to define the simultaneity of two events by means of light signals following what is nowadays known as the Einstein simultaneity convention. The need of a simultaneity definition is present also in general relativity and in curved spacetimes in order to provide the observers with a coordinate time. It is recognized that the old Einstein simultaneity convention is nothing but a connection on a suitable trivial bundle that defines the reference frame. Unfortunately, it has a non vanishing holonomy in curved and even in flat spacetimes a fact that makes it almost useless. We point out the advantage of local simultaneity conventions showing that they are represented by local simultaneity connections. Among them there is one, uniquely determined by the reference frame, which is particularly well-behaved globally.

description: In the search for binary systems inspiral signal in interferometric gravitational waves detectors, one needs the generation and placement of a grid of templates. We present an original technique for the placement in the associated parameter space, that makes use of the variation of size of the isomatch ellipses in order to reduce the number of templates necessary to cover the parameter space. This technique avoids the potentially expensive computation of the metric at every point, at the cost of having a small number of ``holes'' in the coverage, representing a few percent of the surface of the parameter space, where the match is slightly lower than specified. A study of the covering efficiency, as well as a comparison with a very simple regular tiling using a single ellipse is made. Simulations show an improvement varying between 6% and 30% for the computing cost in this comparison.

description: Statistical observations of the epoch of reionization (EOR) power spectrum provide a rich data set for understanding the transition from the cosmic "dark ages" to the ionized universe we see today. EOR observations have become an active area of experimental cosmology, and three first generation observatories--MWA, PAST, and LOFAR--are currently under development. In this paper we provide the first quantitative calculation of the three dimensional power spectrum sensitivity, incorporating the design parameters of a planned array. This calculation is then used to explore the constraints these first generation observations can place on the EOR power spectrum. The results demonstrate the potential of upcoming power spectrum observations to constrain theories of structure formation and reionization.

description: In the present-day universe, it appears that most, and perhaps all, massive stars are born in star clusters. It also appears that all star clusters contain stars drawn from an approximately universal initial mass function, so that almost all rich young star clusters contain massive stars. In this review I discuss the physical processes associated with both massive star formation and with star cluster formation. First I summarize the observed properties of star-forming gas clumps, then address the following questions. How do these clumps emerge from giant molecular clouds? In these clustered environments, how do individual stars form and gain mass? Can a forming star cluster be treated as an equilibrium system or is this process too rapid for equilibrium to be established? How does feedback affect the formation process?

description: Drug resistance has greatly limited the clinical efficacy of lenvatinib in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of lenvatinib resistance remain largely undetermined. Further in-depth exploration of mechanisms underlying lenvatinib resistance is still required for the majority of HCC patients. In this study, an integrated unbiased whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 screen with database analysis indicated LAPTM5 (lysosomal protein transmembrane 5) as the critical contributor to lenvatinib resistance in HCC. We revealed that LAPTM5 could promote intrinsic macroautophagic/autophagic flux by facilitating autolysosome formation to drive lenvatinib resistance. The upregulation of LAPTM5 in HCC was induced by both DNA hypomethylation and driver mutations like TP53. Inhibition of autolysosome formation by either hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) or LAPTM5 abrogation worked synergistically with lenvatinib to inhibit tumor growth. In HCC cell lines, patient-derived primary cell lines and organoids, as well as human HCC xenografts and immunocompetent mouse HCC model, the close association between LAPTM5 and sensitivity to lenvatinib was consistently verified. Importantly, in clinical HCC samples, where lenvatinib was used as the first line or adjuvant therapy, LAPTM5 expression negatively correlated with lenvatinib sensitivity, implying it as a biomarker to predict patient response to lenvatinib. In conclusion, the combinational therapy targeting autophagy represented a promising strategy to overcome lenvatinib resistance in HCC, and LAPTM5 expression could provide potential guidance for clinical interference. cld-CASP3: cleaved caspase 3; cld-PARP: cleaved PARP; DTP: drug tolerant persister; GO: Gene Ontology; GTEx: The Genotype-Tissue Expression; HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma; HCQ: hydroxychloroquine; IC50: half maximal inhibitory concentration value; KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes; LAPTM5: lysosomal protein transmembrane 5; NT: non-targeting; PDC: patient-derived primary cell lines; PDO: patient-derived primary organoid; TCGA: The Cancer Genome Atlas.
Nonextensive statistics in viscous fingering

description: Measurements in turbulent flows have revealed that the velocity field in nonequilibrium systems exhibits $q$-exponential or power law distributions in agreement with theoretical arguments based on nonextensive statistical mechanics. Here we consider Hele-Shaw flow as simulated by the Lattice Boltzmann method and find similar behavior from the analysis of velocity field measurements. For the transverse velocity, we obtain a spatial $q$-Gaussian profile and a power law velocity distribution over all measured decades. To explain these results, we suggest theoretical arguments based on Darcy's law combined with the non-linear advection-diffusion equation for the concentration field. Power law and $q$-exponential distributions are the signature of nonequilibrium systems with long-range interactions and/or long-time correlations, and therefore provide insight to the mechanism of the onset of fingering processes.

Flow Equations for Uplifting Half-Flat to Spin(7) Manifolds

description: In this short supplement to [1], we discuss the uplift of half-flat six-folds to Spin(7) eight-folds by fibration of the former over a product of two intervals. We show that the same can be done in two ways - one, such that the required Spin(7) eight-fold is a double G_2 seven-fold fibration over an interval, the G_2 seven-fold itself being the half-flat six-fold fibered over the other interval, and second, by simply considering the fibration of the half-flat six-fold over a product of two intervals. The flow equations one gets are an obvious generalization of the Hitchin's flow equations (to obtain seven-folds of G_2 holonomy from half-flat six-folds [2]). We explicitly show the uplift of the Iwasawa using both methods, thereby proposing the form of the new Spin(7) metrics. We give a plausibility argument ruling out the uplift of the Iwasawa manifold to a Spin(7) eight fold at the "edge", using the second method. For $Spin(7)$ eight-folds of the type $X_7\times S^1$, $X_7$ being a seven-fold of SU(3) structure, we motivate the possibility of including elliptic functions into the "shape deformation" functions of seven-folds of SU(3) structure of [1] via some connections between elliptic functions, the Heisenberg group, theta functions, the already known $D7$-brane metric [3] and hyper-Kähler metrics obtained in twistor spaces by deformations of Atiyah-Hitchin manifolds by a Legendre transform in [4].

description: The financial performance of meat and poultry manufacturing and wholesaling firms is examined for the period from 1970 to 1986. Measures of liquidity, solvency, profitability, cash generation, and efficiency reported in the Robert Morris Associates Annual Statement Studies are used to examine relative performance across the different industries. The results suggest a similar performance in the wholesaling and manufacturing industries across the period in terms of liquidity. Profitability levels are similar for meat and poultry firms, although the poultry firms show a higher level of variability across the period. It appears that poultry firms leveraged themselves relatively more than did meat firms during the period. In terms of cash generation and efficiency the meat manufacturing industry performs slightly better than the other industries.
