description: Energy gap and wave function in thin films of topological insulator is studied, based on tight--binding model. It is revealed that thickness dependence of the magnitude of energy gap is composed of damping and oscillation. The damped behavior originates from the presence of gapless surface Dirac cone in the infinite thickness limit. On the other hand, the oscillatory behavior stems from electronic properties in the thin thickness limit.

description: Введение. Проблема защиты прав и свобод человека всегда вызывает повышенное внимание, включая вопросы обеспечения криминологической безопасности несовершеннолетних. Цель работы — выделить основные подходы стратегического планирования обеспечения криминологической безопасности детей. Материалы и методы. Анализировались законодательство Российской Федерации, научные и учебно-методические публикации, изучались аналитические обзоры, методические рекомендации, справочный материал по исследуемой теме. Методологическую основу составили подходы, предложенные Л. В. Прозументовым, Е. А. Брылевой, Е. А. Сусловой, О. В. Нардиной. Для сбора эмпирического материала опрошены 198 учащихся образовательных организаций общего образования. Результаты и обсуждение. Проведен видовой анализ документов стратегического планирования в Российской Федерации, направленных на обеспечение безопасности граждан от различного рода угроз, и дана их подробная характеристика. Особый акцент сделан на решении проблем государственной поддержки семьи, создании условий для эффективной защиты прав и законных интересов детей и молодежи. Выводы. Несмотря на то что государство в последнее время уделяет все большее внимание профилактике правонарушений несовершеннолетних, в ряде субъектов Российской Федерации наблюдается высокий удельный вес преступлений, совершенных несовершеннолетними или при их соучастии. Криминологический анализ коэффициента криминальной пораженности несовершеннолетних показал, что между наиболее и наименее благополучными регионами Российской Федерации наблюдается разрыв почти в 11 раз. Для того чтобы создать эффективную систему, направленную на защиту прав и интересов ребенка, целесообразно разработать Концепцию, затрагивающую как общие, так и конкретные проблемы в указанной сфере, а также определяющую действенный контроль со стороны государственных органов.

description: Mistakes in an earlier publication (Zatsarinny et al. 2004) have been discovered and are corrected. First, in Table 1, some of the DR fitting coefficients are incorrect due to initially undetected human errors in the postprocessing of the atomic data. As a result, we have refitted our archived totals for the entire sequence using up to seven terms in the summation of Eq. (3). We have retabulated in Table 1 only results for those ions that showed significant differences, which occur at lower temperatures, from those of our initial fitting procedure. We emphasize that these few errors were not in the atomic physics calculations, which are accurate for the entire sequence i.e. the adf09 files are unchanged, but rather only in the fitting algorithm

description: We report a complete calculation of the quark and glue momenta and angular momenta in the proton. These include the quark contributions from both the connected and disconnected insertions. The calculation is carried out on a $16^3 \times 24$ quenched lattice at $β= 6.0$ and for Wilson fermions with $κ= 0.154, 0.155,$ and 0.1555 which correspond to pion masses at 650, 538, and 478 MeV. The quark loops are calculated with $Z_4$ noise and signal-to-noise is improved further with unbiased subtractions. The glue operator is comprised of gauge-field tensors constructed from the overlap operator. The $u$ and $d$ quark momentum/angular momentum fraction is 0.66(5)/0.72(5), the strange momentum/angular momentum fraction is 0.024(6)/0.023(7), and that of the glue is 0.31(6)/0.25(8). The orbital angular momenta of the quarks are obtained from subtracting the angular momentum component from its corresponding spin. As a result, the quark orbital angular momentum constitutes 0.50(2) of the proton spin, with almost all it coming from the disconnected insertion. The quark spin carries a fraction 0.25(12) and glue carries a fraction 0.25(8) of the total proton spin.

Four Point Functions of the Stress Tensor and Conserved Currents in AdS_4/CFT_3

description: We compute four point functions of the stress tensor and conserved currents in AdS_4/CFT_3 using bulk perturbation theory. We work at treel level in the bulk theory, which we take to be either pure gravity or Yang Mills theory in AdS. We bypass the tedious evaluation of Witten diagrams using recently developed recursion relations for these correlators. In this approach, the four point function is obtained as the sum of residues of a rational function at easily identifiable poles. We write down an explicit formula for the four point correlator with arbitrary external helicities and momenta. We verify that, precisely as conjectured in a companion paper, the Maximally Helicity Violating (MHV) amplitude of gravitons or gluons appears as the coefficient of a specified singularity in the MHV stress-tensor or current correlator. We comment on the remarkably simple analytic structure of our answers in momentum space.

One-Loop Calculation of the Oblique S Parameter in Higgsless Electroweak Models

description: We present a one-loop calculation of the oblique S parameter within Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking and analyze the phenomenological implications of the available electroweak precision data. We use the most general effective Lagrangian with at most two derivatives, implementing the chiral symmetry breaking SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R -> SU(2)_{L+R} with Goldstones, gauge bosons and one multiplet of vector and axial-vector massive resonance states. Using the dispersive representation of Peskin and Takeuchi and imposing the short-distance constraints dictated by the operator product expansion, we obtain S at the NLO in terms of a few resonance parameters. In asymptotically-free gauge theories, the final result only depends on the vector-resonance mass and requires M_V > 1.8 TeV (3.8 TeV) to satisfy the experimental limits at the 3 σ(1σ) level; the axial state is always heavier, we obtain M_A > 2.5 TeV (6.6 TeV) at 3σ(1σ). In strongly-coupled models, such as walking or conformal technicolour, where the second Weinberg sum rule does not apply, the vector and axial couplings are not determined by the short-distance constraints; but one can still derive a lower bound on S, provided the hierarchy M_V < M_A remains valid. Even in this less constrained situation, we find that in order to satisfy the experimental limits at 3σone needs M_{V,A} > 1.8 TeV.

Interannual prediction of the Paraná River

description: Interannual‐to‐decadal predictability of the Paraná river in South America is investigated by extracting near‐cyclic components in summer‐season streamflows at Corrientes over the period 1904–1997. It is found that oscillatory components with periods of about 2–5, 8 and 17 years are accompanied by statistically significant changes in monthly streamflow. Autoregressive predictive models are constructed for each component. Cross‐validated categorical hindcasts based on the 8‐yr predicted component are found to yield some skill up to four years in advance for below‐average flows. A prediction based upon the 8‐ and 17‐yr components including data up to 1999 suggests increased probability of below‐average flows until 2006.

description: We investigate the algebraic structure of flat energy bands a partial filling of which may give rise to a fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (or a fractional Chern insulator) and a fractional quantum spin Hall effect. Both effects arise in the case of a sufficiently flat energy band as well as a roughly flat and homogeneous Berry curvature, such that the global Chern number, which is a topological invariant, may be associated with a local non-commutative geometry. This geometry is similar to the more familiar situation of the fractional quantum Hall effect in two-dimensional electron systems in a strong magnetic field.

Simulations of the Atmospheric Response to South Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2003
Subjects: Atmosphere

description: The sensitivity of the atmospheric circulation to sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the tropical and subtropical South Atlantic Ocean is studied by means of simulations with an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM). Two types of prescribed SST anomalies are used, motivated by previous analyses of data. The first occurs during austral summers in association with a strengthening of the South Atlantic convergence zone (SACZ) and consists of cold SST anomalies over the subtropical South Atlantic. The second is the leading seasonally varying empirical orthogonal function of SST, consisting of warm basin-scale anomalies with maximum amplitude in the subtropics during January–March and at the equator in June. An ensemble of about 10 seasonal simulations is made using each type of anomaly, focusing on the January–March period in the first case and the January–June seasonal evolution in the second. During January–March both experiments yield a statistically significant baroclinic response over the subtropical Atlantic with dipolar SACZ-like anomalies. Some evidence of positive feedback is found. The response is shown to be fairly similar in pattern as well as amplitude to the linear regression of observed interannual low-level wind anomalies with subtropical SST anomalies. However, in the first experiment with cold SST anomalies, the simulated response contrasts with the leading interannual mode of observed SACZ variability. Warm basin-scale anomalies are found to have their largest impact during boreal summer, with a strong statistically significant equatorial baroclinic response and positive rainfall anomalies over the equatorial ocean. The latter do not extend appreciably into the adjacent continents, although there are significant positive rainfall anomalies over the Sahel in April–June and negative anomalies over the western Indian Ocean. In the upper troposphere, a statistically significant wave train extends southwestward to southern South America and northeastward to Europe in April–June, while there is some linkage between the tropically and subtropically forced responses during January–March.

Η μέθοδος αυτή βασίζεται σε ηλεκτρονικά στοιχεία (αντιστάσεις, πηνία και πυκνωτές) τα οποία λειτουργούν ως εμπέδηση. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η ενέργεια που παράγεται από τις ταλαντώσεις της κατασκευής μετατρέπεται σε ηλεκτρική μέσω των πιεζοηλεκτρικών στοιχείων και στη συνέχεια μεταφέρεται στο ηλεκτρονικό κύκλωμα όπου καταναλώνεται και με αυτόν τον τρόπο επιτυγχάνεται η απόσβεση.

description: In the following thesis, we will analyze and study the techniques of the multi-mode resonant shunts as a method of damping, for the suppression of oscillations in a complex construction of smart beams. This method is based on electronic elements (resistors, inductors, and capacitors) that work as an impedance. Specifically, the energy that is produced from the oscillations of the device, is converted into electric energy through the piezoelectric elements is transferred to the electronic circuit, where it is consumed and as a result, vibration damping is achieved. In the present thesis, the construction of the beam with upper and lower piezoelectric patches will be modelled with the program COMSOL Multiphysics and will be simulated using modal analysis tools. For the study of the multi-mode resonant shunt, “Current-flow” and “Current-Block” circuits will be used. The objective is the comparison of the two different types of circuits but also the analysis of the results to confirm the aforementioned theory.

description: The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) population of Ruaha National Park may be in decline. Seasonal drying of the park's water source due to upstream irrigation may have caused loss of dry season habitat, increased pressure on remaining water sources, and possibly increased contact between wildlife and livestock at the park borders. The Health for Animals and Livelihood Improvement (HALI) project and Ruaha National Park are collaborating to investigate the health and population status of the African buffaloes. Between 2011 and 2015, this partnership resulted in testing 30 young and 25 adult African buffaloes for bovine tuberculosis (2011, 2014-15), conducting 4 dry season demographic surveys and herd level parasite screenings (2011, 2013-15), and conducting one aerial population survey in collaboration with the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (2013). In 2014-15, 12 adult female buffaloes were collared with satellite GPS collars to learn more about the seasonal movements, habitat preferences, and herd dynamics of Ruaha's buffalo herds. The research has shown that bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis is present in the buffalo population, that the population number appear to be reduced since the last total count in 2004, that the herd composition and seasonal movements may be influenced by rainfall, and the herd level gastrointestinal parasite counts generally are low. The data generated in this study will be used to inform management and conservation of Ruaha National Park's buffaloes.

description: In 2000, two books about Persian painting were published in English that together provide a survey of the latest research on this field of Islamic art. Moreover, they are important contributions to research on the production of illustrated and illuminated codices as luxury items in Islamicate Persian culture, and thus indicate the growing importance of Islamic codicology. Both volumes are richly illustrated, and their illustrations constitute an important source for Persian painting because the delicate condition of works on paper causes scholars great practical difficulties in examining originals, be they held in public or private collections. Therefore, the two books are also of interest for historians who work primarily with written sources.

description: The response of the Max Planck Institute's ECHAM3 atmospheric general circulation model to a prescribed decade-long positive anomaly in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over the North Atlantic is investigated. Two 10-yr realizations of the anomaly experiment are compared against a 100-yr control run of the model with seasonally varying climatological SST using a model spatial resolution of T42. In addition to the time-mean response, particular attention is paid to changes in intraseasonal variability, expressed in terms of North Atlantic–European weather regimes. The model regimes are quite realistic. Substantial differences are found in the 700-mb geopotential height field response between the two decadal realizations. The time-mean response in the first sample decade is characterized by the positive (zonal) phase of the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO); this response can be identified with changes in the frequency of occurrence of certain weather regimes by about one standard deviation. (Preliminary results of this numerical experiment were reported at the Atlantic Climate Variability Workshop held at the Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, Palisades, New York, 24–26 September 1997.) By contrast, the second SST anomaly decade shows a localized trough centered over the British Isles; it projects less strongly onto the model's intrinsic weather regimes. The control run itself exhibits pronounced decade-to-decade variations in the weather regimes' frequency of occurrence as well as in its NAO index. The two 10-yr anomaly experiments are insufficient, in length and number, to identify a robust SST response above this level of intrinsic variability.

description: Three-minute oscillations over sunspot's umbra in AR 11131 were observed simultaneously in UV/EUV emission by SDO/AIA and in radio emission by Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH). We use 24-hours series of SDO and 8-hours series of NoRH observations to study spectral, spatial and temporal variations of pulsations in the 5-9 mHz frequency range at different layers of the solar atmosphere. High spatial and temporal resolution of SDO/AIA in combination with long-duration observations allowed us to trace the variations of the cut-off frequency and spectrum of oscillations across the umbra. We found that higher frequency oscillations are more pronounced closer to the umbra's center, while the lower frequencies concentrate to the peripheral parts. We interpreted this discovery as a manifestation of variation of the magnetic field inclination across the umbra at the level of temperature-minimum. Possible implications of this interpretation for the diagnostics of sunspot atmospheres is discussed.

Coordinating differentiation with behavioral output of the CCAP-neuron network in Drosophila melanogaster.
Creators: name: Veverytsa, Lyubov
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Appropriate integration of neurons into functioning networks is the ultimate goal of neuronal differentiation. My thesis examined the mechanism and timing of neuronal differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster in relation to the functional requirements of a developing neuronal network. Specifically, my thesis aimed to address the role of extrinsic signaling in inducing and maintaining the expression of genes important to the function of neurons within their network. CCAP-neurons were chosen as a model because: 1) GAL4 drivers are available for cell-specific genetic manipulation. 2) The critical role of CCAP-neurons in the behavior, ecdysis, provides for an easily assayed phenotype if these neurons fail to function properly. 3) Four peptide hormones are selectively expressed in differentiated CCAP-neurons that are essential for the normal function of CCAP-neurons in ecdysis; this provides a direct link between gene expression and behavior. 4) Ecdysis is reiterated at multiple developmental steps, thus the CCAP-neuronal population functions throughout development. Together, these factors allow my work to relate neuronal subtype-specific differentiation to the regulation of gene expression and then directly to behavior. Larval Drosophila CCAP-neurons comprise ~46 neurons [~36 interneurons (CCAP-INs) and 10 efferent-neurons (CCAP-ENs)] that express a number of terminal differentiation genes (TDGs; such as neuropeptides). To begin, we delineated mechanisms underlying the expression of four TDGs, the peptide hormones CCAP, MIP, Bursicon-α and Bursicon-β, which together mediate the functional output of those neurons. Importantly, my studies found that a specific subset of CCAP-neurons, the CCAP-ENs, is both necessary and sufficient for ecdysis, and that their function in ecdysis is mediated by extrinsic BMP-dependent peptide hormone expression. Additionally, we found that the change in the ecdysis behavioral sequence from larval to pupal ecdysis is supported by the recruitment of a ‘late’ subset of CCAP-neurons that are born in the embryo but undergo extrinsic ecdysone-triggered, temporally-tuned differentiation immediately prior to pupal ecdysis.

description: Weather regimes are used to determine changes in the statistical distribution of winter precipitation and temperature at eight locations within the western United States. Six regimes are identified from daily 700-mb heights during 46 winters (1949–95) over the North Pacific sector applying cluster analysis; these include the Pacific–North American (PNA) pattern, reverse-PNA, a tropical–Northern Hemisphere (TNH) regime, and a Pacific Ω block. Most of the regimes have a statistically significant effect on the local median temperature, as well as daily temperature extremes; differences between locations are secondary to the large-scale effects. Local precipitation frequency is also conditioned significantly by certain weather regimes, but differences between groups of locations are larger. Precipitation extremes are dispersed and hard to classify. The dependence of local temperature statistics on the warm- or cold-air advection associated with particular weather regimes is discussed, as is the dependence of precipitation anomalies on the regimes' displaced storm tracks. The extent to which the El Niño–Southern Oscillation modulates the probability of occurrence of each of the six weather regimes is then investigated. Warm event (El Niño) winters are found to be associated with a significant increase in prevalence of a TNH regime, in which negative height anomalies exhibit a northwest–southeast tilt over the North Pacific. During La Niña winters, this TNH regime occurs significantly less frequently, while a regime characterized by a ridge over southwestern North America becomes more prevalent. These two regimes are associated with regional precipitation-frequency anomalies of opposite sign, that contribute to a north–south contrast in precipitation anomalies over the western United States during El Niño and La Niña winters. On interdecadal timescales, the frequency-of-occurrence of the PNA pattern is found to be notably higher during the 1970s and early 1980s.

description: We study the behavior of the clustering coefficient in tagged networks. The rich variety of tags associated with the nodes in the studied systems provide additional information about the entities represented by the nodes which can be important for practical applications like searching in the networks. Here we examine how the clustering coefficient changes when narrowing the network to a sub-graph marked by a given tag, and how does it correlate with various other properties of the sub-graph. Another interesting question addressed in the paper is how the clustering coefficient of the individual nodes is affected by the tags on the node. We believe these sort of analysis help acquiring a more complete description of the structure of large complex systems.

description: Recent phylogeographical and population genetic studies on the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) have revealed a complex population structure both at continental and regional scales. These studies were mainly focused on the analysis of the genetic variations of mtDNA amplicons and microsatellites molecular markers. With the advent of Next-Generation Sequencing technologies, large-scale sequencing and identification of large sets of single nucleotide polymorphism from library construction became possible. In the present study, the ‘Genotyping-by-Sequencing' (GBS) technology was applied on 450 samples of African buffaloes spread all over its distribution range (sub-Sahara), including a more intensive sampling in Southern African regions (Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana). The African buffalo being a non-model organism, the use of a closely related species genome (Bos taurus) to map the reads (64bp) and identify nucleotide variations was the most reliable approach. Population structure analyses and demographic parameters estimations were based on 42,643 identified SNPs. Clustering analyses revealed a structuring into 8 populations at the continental scale, with low levels of genetic differentiation, indicative of high historical gene flow. Population fragmentation impact in the Southern African region was evaluated using different indices. The confinement within protected areas, obstructing natural migrations, was shown to have impacted some of these populations. Those results are particularly of conservation concern, as the management of genetically distinct populations can increase species-wide resilience. The resolution of the results obtained with SNPs and microsatellites will be also discussed, based on datasets obtained from the same set of samples.

description: Введение. Психологическое обеспечение деятельности сотрудников исправительных учреждений с ВИЧ-инфицированными осужденными имеет значение для устранения негативных форм поведения, в том числе намеренного распространения ВИЧинфекции среди остальной части осужденных, повышенной агрессивности, аутоагрессивности и т. д. Материалы и методы. Выборочная совокупность объекта исследования ВИЧ-инфицированных осужденных составила 550 чел. Методы исследования включали количественный опрос. Анкетирование ВИЧ-положительных осужденных проводилось в исправительных учреждениях УФСИН России по Омской области. Наряду с этим были проведены три фокус-группы, в ходе которых изучалось отношение респондентов к формам и методам профилактики ВИЧ-инфекции и их взаимодействие с медицинским персоналом. Результаты и обсуждение. В работе с ВИЧ-позитивными осужденными на первый план выходят оказание социально-психологической поддержки, создание специальной активизирующей среды, в которой появляются условия для самоидентификации и самоактуализации личности инфицированного человека с учетом потенциальных (сохранных и компенсаторных) возможностей. Деятельность психолога смещается в сторону общепсихологической и педагогической работы (формирование адекватных потребностей, расширение спектра интересов, складывание позитивной Я‑концепции и др.). Выводы. Психологическое сопровождение решает соматические проблемы ВИЧ-инфицированного осужденного через рассмотрение его как целостного социального субъекта и играет важную роль в поиске сил для преодоления последствий заболевания, стремления жить и интеграции в социальное общество.
Subseasonal-to-interdecadal variability of the Australian monsoon over North Queensland

description: Daily rainfall occurrence and amount at 11 stations over North Queensland are examined for summers 1958–1998, using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Daily rainfall variability is described in terms of the occurrence of five discrete ‘weather states’, identified by the HMM. Three states are characterized respectively by very wet, moderately wet, and dry conditions at most stations; two states have enhanced rainfall along the coast and dry conditions inland. Each HMM rainfall state is associated with a distinct atmospheric circulation regime. The two wet states are accompanied by monsoonal circulation patterns with large-scale ascent, low-level inflow from the north-west, and a phase reversal with height; the dry state is characterized by circulation anomalies of the opposite sense. Two of the states show significant associations with midlatitude synoptic waves. Variability of the monsoon on time-scales from subseasonal to interdecadal is interpreted in terms of changes in the frequency of occurrence of the five HMM rainfall states. Large subseasonal variability is identified in terms of active and break phases, and a highly variable monsoon onset date. The occurrence of the very wet and dry states is somewhat modulated by the Madden–Julian oscillation. On interannual time-scales, there are clear relationships with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Interdecadal monsoonal variability is characterized by stronger monsoons during the 1970s, and weaker monsoons plus an increased prevalence of drier states in the later part of the record. Stochastic simulations of daily rainfall occurrence and amount at the 11 stations are generated by introducing predictors based on large-scale precipitation from (a) reanalysis data, (b) an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) run with observed SST forcing and (c) antecedent June–August Pacific SST anomalies. The reanalysis large-scale precipitation yields relatively accurate station-level simulations of the interannual variability of daily rainfall amount and occurrence, with rainfall intensity less well simulated. At some stations, interannual variations in 10-day dry-spell frequency are also simulated reasonably well. The interannual quality of the simulations is markedly degraded when the GCM simulations are used as inputs, while antecedent Pacific SST inputs yield an anomaly correlation skill comparable to that of the GCM.

description: We consider the ground state of an attractively-interacting atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in a prolate, cylindrically symmetric harmonic trap. If a true quasi-one-dimensional limit is realized, then for sufficiently weak axial trapping this ground state takes the form of a bright soliton solution of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Using analytic variational and highly accurate numerical solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation we systematically and quantitatively assess how soliton-like this ground state is, over a wide range of trap and interaction strengths. Our analysis reveals that the regime in which the ground state is highly soliton-like is significantly restricted, and occurs only for experimentally challenging trap anisotropies. This result, and our broader identification of regimes in which the ground state is well-approximated by our simple analytic variational solution, are relevant to a range of potential experiments involving attractively-interacting Bose-Einstein condensates.

Dirac neutrino mass generation from dark matter

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

description: In 2006, a simple extension of the Standard Model was proposed in which neutrinos obtain radiative Majorana masses at one-loop level from their couplings with dark matter, hence the term "scotogenic," from the Greek "scotos" meaning darkness. Here an analogous mechanism for Dirac neutrino masses is discussed in a minimal model. In different ranges of the parameter space, various candidates for dark matter are possible. In particular, the lightest Dirac fermion which appears in the loop diagram generating neutrino mass can be a viable dark matter candidate. Such a possibility does not exist for the Majorana case. Realistic neutrino mixing in the context of $A_4$ is discussed. A possible supersymmetric extension is also briefly discussed.

A Development-Friendly Prioritisation of Doha Round Proposals

description: Agriculture looms large on the WTO's agenda. It was the first substantive item listed in the work programme of the Ministerial Declaration launching the Doha Round, and it was arguably at the centre of the failure at Cancun. Developing countries made it clear both before and during the Cancun meeting that progress on agriculture was their primary objective. Negotiations in other areas have received less attention and progressed more slowly. This paper considers that prioritisation, and suggests that the interests of developing countries in the current round of trade negotiations are much broader than is suggested by the narrow range of agricultural issues that have dominated negotiations. A true development round would require a significant reprioritisation of many areas of the WTO's current agenda.
