description: We discovered an over-density of H-alpha-emitting galaxies associated with a Planck compact source in the COSMOS field (PHzG237.0+42.5) through narrow-band imaging observations with Subaru/MOIRCS. This Planck-selected dusty proto-cluster at z=2.16 has 38 H-alpha emitters including six spectroscopically confirmed galaxies in the observed MOIRCS 4'x7' field (corresponding to ~2.0x3.5~Mpc^2 in physical scale). We find that massive H-alpha emitters with log(M*/Msun)>10.5 are strongly clustered in the core of the proto-cluster (within ~300-kpc from the density peak of the H-alpha emitters). Most of the H-alpha emitters in this proto-cluster lie along the star-forming main sequence using H-alpha-based SFR estimates, whilst the cluster total SFR derived by integrating the H-alpha-based SFRs is an order of magnitude smaller than those estimated from Planck/Herschel FIR photometry. Our results suggest that H-alpha is a good observable for detecting moderately star-forming galaxies and tracing the large-scale environment in and around high-z dusty proto-clusters, but there is a possibility that a large fraction of star formation could be obscured by dust and undetected in H-alpha observations.

description: This paper analyzes the dynamic of the international debt of Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC), along with the socio-economic development. The structure of the paper is the following: a) the first part of the paper analyzes the dynamic of the structure of debt and socio-economic development (using 14 variables) of 34 HIPC during the period 198797, using a multi statistical analysis; b) the second part analyzes the relation between economic development and the structure of debt (period 1971-1998) for three benchmark countries (Niger, Bolivia and Tanzania); c) in the final part, employing a cross section analysis, the paper verifies the relation between one social indicator (life expectancy) and the international debt structure for the 34 HIPC. The main finding of the paper is that social and economic development is positively related to the debt stock, and it has a negative relation with the interest export ratio. Thus for the HIPC a reduction in debt service would be a better strategy than reducing the debt stock. JEL Codes: F34, O19 Keywords: Debt, Development, International Debt

description: The euro changeover has been a success as millions of Europeans have become accustomed to using the new coins and banknotes. What comes next? So far the benefits of the euro are a product of the "vices" which have been taken away from us. In the case of Italy, the gains have been very low inflation and interest rates. Much more has still to come. First, the euro-zone has to become an optimum currency area: all national markets are required to integrate into one larger and more efficient market. This will lead to faster growth in line with Adam Smith's theory. Second, we still need to transfer foreign policy and defense, along with the euro, to a European level thereby completing the Union.

The roles of BEL1-like proteins in organ morphogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana
Creators: name: Kumar, Ravi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Plant organs originate in distinct temporal and spatial arrangements as primordial outgrowths from meristematic regions. The study of how this process is regulated is of great significance to both developmental biologists and plant breeders. Several genes encoding proteins that regulate meristem function and the subsequent layout of shoot and root architecture have been identified by mutation. For example, STM and BP are members of the KNOX class of regulatory proteins and are involved in meristem function (STM) and inflorescence architecture (BP). In Arabidopsis, the BEL1-like TALE homeodomain (BLH) protein family consists of 13 members that form heterodimeric complexes with KNOX homeodomain proteins including STM and BP. Loss of function of BEL1 results in malformed ovules and female sterility but other organs do not seem to be affected. Northern blots and in-situ hybridization experiments have shown that BEL1 is expressed in the stem, sepals, embryo and the shoot/inflorescence apical meristem. The BEL1 expression outside the ovules is an indication that it might also have functions outside the ovule. The lack of bel1 mutant phenotypes in regions other than the ovule is probably due to functional overlaps with other BLH proteins, since many of these proteins overlap in expression with BEL1 and also have similar interacting partners. During my PhD research I have functionally characterized two additional BLH genes, SAWTOOTH1 (SAW1) and SAWTOOTH2 (SAW2) and tested their relationship to BEL1. I was able to determine that the loss of SAW function causes increased growth in the leaf margins whereas over-expression of SAW1 in the plants caused decreased growth due to both reduced cell expansion as well as cell division. Molecular and genetic analyses revealed that the SAW proteins function in part by repressing BP (and perhaps other Class I KNOX genes) expression in the leaves.

description: Some recent articles explain the Asian crisis almost exclusively in terms of "fundamentals". The role played by private sector's expectations, however, should also be considered. In my view, then, "escape clause" models exhibiting multiple equilibria within a grey area, especially when integrated with the possibility that expectations may change exogenously so as to modify the grey area itself, allow a better understanding of exchange rate crises. When considering the role played by expectations, the economic policy measures to be adopted in order to assure the stability of financial and currency markets differ from the remedies emerging when those aspects are ignored.

description: A new cafestol-type diterpenoid, 5β-hydroxy-2-oxocafestol named coffecanepholide C (1) along with three known diterpenoids including cafestol (2), tricalysiolide A (3) and atractyligenin (4) were identified from the Coffea canephora trunks collected at Lam Dong province, Vietnam. Their structures were elucidated by HRESIMS and NMR spectroscopic analysis (1H, 13C, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY NMR) as well as compared with data in the literature. Upon evaluation of the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, compound 1 (IC50 = 142.0 ± 0.2 µM) and compound 3 (IC50 = 286.2 ± 1.2 µM) exhibited activity against α-glucosidase, while structures 2 and 4 showed no activity. Furthermore, the docking simulations revealed that the carbonyl groups of compounds 1 and 3 formed hydrogen bonds with Lys506 residue at the enzyme pocket, which may induce the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.

description: The institutionalization of rural territorial development programs was accompanied by an intense academic effervescence on the subject. However, one of the most widespread criticisms of the literature produced is that it has a normative character, it lacks theoretical substance on social interaction and thus the territory seems to be reified by public policies. This essay has aimed to build an analytical framework for understanding the socio-political processes underlying the implementation of rural territorial development policies, organizing a conceptual instrument that would structure a relational approach to territorial development. It is considered that the approach adopted in this paper can provide empirical analyzes of different directions for those already expressed in previous works on the same object, reaching yet unexplored dimensions in the territorial development studies, such as the network of organizations, its historicity, its settings and the social and institutional factors that influence the activities of the actors in the territory, guiding its development trajectory. This theoretical and analytical construction leads to the assumption that “actors”, “networks” and “institutions” summarize the major components of the social dynamics of the territories and, therefore, defining elements of the trajectory of rural territorial development.

description: The magnetic dipole, the electric quadrupole and the Coulomb quadrupole amplitudes for the transition γN\to Δare calculated in quenched lattice QCD at β=6.0 with Wilson fermions. Using a new method combining an optimal combination of interpolating fields for the $Δ$ and an overconstrained analysis, we obtain statistically accurate results for the dipole form factor and for the ratios of the electric and Coulomb quadrupole amplitudes to the magnetic dipole amplitude, R_{EM} and R_{SM}, up to momentum transfer squared 1.5 GeV^2. We show for the first time using lattice QCD that both R_{EM} and R_{SM} are non-zero and negative, in qualitative agreement with experiment and indicating the presence of deformation in the N- Delta system.

description: We argue that in models with several high scales; e.g. in composite Higgs models or in gauge extensions of the Standard Model (SM), vector-like leptons can be likely produced in a relatively large $\sqrt{s}$ region of the phase space. Likewise, they can easily decay into final states not containing SM gauge bosons. This contrasts with the topology in which these new particles are being searched for at the LHC. Adopting an effective field theory approach, we show that searches for excited leptons must be used instead to test this scenario. We derive bounds on all the relevant interactions of dimension six; the most constrained ones being of about $0.05$ TeV$^{-2}$. We build new observables to improve current analyses and study the impact on all single-field UV completions of the SM extended with a vector-like lepton that can be captured by the effective field theory at tree level, in the current and in the high-luminosity phase of the LHC.

description: Papaya seedlings (cv.'Sunrise') were produced under greenhouse conditions to determine the effects of combinations of varying ethanol and gibberellic acid-3 (GA3) concentrations on papaya shoot height, leaf number, leaf area, and shoot dry weight. Seedlings were grown in 0.5-L plastic containers filled with a potting medium composed of 50% vermiculite, 30% periite, and 20% spaghnum peat (v/v). When seedlings were 10 cm tall and had two-true leaves, foliar sprays of ethanol (0, 5, 10, 15 or 20% v/v) and G A3 (0, 10, 20 and 30 ppm w/v) combinations were applied using a 5-mL solution volume. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with seven replications. Ethanol and GA3 concentrations interactively influenced plant height (P<0.05). In all cases, as GA3 rate increased there was an increase in plant height, regardless of the ethanol concentration utilized. Although, plant height increased when the 5% ethanol rate used (+13.7% for 0 GA3 treatments), higher alcohol concentrations caused a rapid decline in height. Treatments had no effect (P>0.05) on leaf number, whereas only ethanol rates affected papaya leaf area, with maximum area obtained with 5% ethanol (+32.6%). No significant ethanol by GA3 interactions (P>0.05) were observed for shoot dry weight. However, both factors individually influenced shoot dry weight. Leaf area, plant height, and seedling dry weight was higher when plants were treated with solutions containing 5% ethanol than when other rates were used, yielding 42.6% higher shoot dry weight than the untreated control. In fact, plants receiving rates of 10% ethanol or higher had a dry matter loss of at least 30% compared to untreated seedlings.

description: In uno scritto recente ho sostenuto la tesi che la politica ottimale per il Mezzogiorno non è il laissez faire, né l’intervento diretto dello stato nell’economia, ma un intervento pubblico, anche “massiccio”, realizzato mediante leggi generali e astratte, che per loro natura sono di tipo non discrezionale. La necessità di un intervento generalizzato a favore di una zona meno sviluppata si giustifica con l’esistenza delle “diseconomie esterne”, che frenano lo sviluppo di tutte le imprese che operano in quella zona. Ha destato, perciò, in me meraviglia leggere l’articolo scritto contemporaneamente da Beniamino Moro (2001) e pubblicato nel numero 215 di questa rivista, che raggiunge lo stesso risultato con argomentazioni di segno opposto.

description: Two new p-methoxyphenyl-type derivatives cytchloramol (1) and cytoxazinanone (2), along with six known compounds (3-8) were identified from the chemical investigations of a saline lake actinomycete, Streptomyces sp. XZB32. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive NMR spectroscopic analysis, HRESIMS data, GIAO (gauge-including atomic orbitals) NMR, specific optical rotation (SOR) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Cytotoxicity evaluation of the two new compounds showed that compound 1 exhibited significant activity against HCT-116 and MDA-MB-231 human cancer cell line with IC50 values of 2.7 ± 0.07 µM and 1.54 ± 0.14 µM, respectively.

description: La posizione comune con Bruno Jossa è sintetizzata alla fine della sua nota quando egli scrive che gli incentivi fiscali, di natura automatica, costituiscono la politica ottimale per il Sud, aggiungendo di ritenere «che tali incentivi, uniti ad altre misure di risanamento, potrebbero attirare nel Mezzogiorno molti investimenti esterni, che sono preziosi per lo sviluppo economico» (p. 282). Più in generale, rilevo che vi è un’ampia convergenza di vedute con la sua analisi, soprattutto dove si riconosce agli strumenti d’intervento automatici e non discrezionali (che hanno il vantaggio di tagliare fuori sia la burocrazia, sia l’attività di lobbying) una maggiore efficacia nel sostenere lo sviluppo economico locale. Concordo inoltre che debito pubblico, mafia e camorra hanno giocato e tuttora giocano un ruolo negativo importante, e tuttavia non decisivo, nell’ostacolare il processo di sviluppo (tutti argomenti peraltro ricorrentemente richiamati nella letteratura sul Mezzogiorno). L’unico aspetto sul quale apparentemente sembrerebbe non esservi concordanza di analisi riguarda l’influenza degli incentivi fiscali sugli investimenti esterni.

Molecular mechanism of Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis in Down syndrome
Creators: name: Sun, Xiulian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease leading to dementia. Neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are the two hallmarks of AD neuropathology. The molecular mechanism underlying AD pathogenesis remains unknown. It is believed that deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) protein in the brain plays a pivotal role in AD pathogenesis. Aβ, the central component of neuritic plaques, is derived from β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) by sequential cleavages by β- and γ-secretase. Nearly all individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) show characteristic AD pathological changes after their 30s. The molecular mechanism by which AD pathogenesis develops in DS patients is poorly defined. BACE1 is the major β-secretase in vivo. BACE2 is the homolog of BACE1 and located on chromosome 21. In this study, we cloned and functionally characterized BACE2 gene promoter. Our studies show that the BACE2 gene promoter has a higher activity in non-neuronal cells while BACE1 promoter has a higher activity in neuronal cells. Although both can be activated by SP1, the transcription of BACE1 and BACE2 are distinctly regulated. Even though they are homologous in amino acid sequence, BACE1 and BACE2 cleave APP at distinct sites, leading to their opposing functions in AP production. N-terminal sequencing of BACE2 cleavage product shows that the cleavage site of BACE2 in APP is located between the 19th and 20th amino acid of Aβ. Thus, BACE2 is identified as a novel θ-secretase. Overexpression of BACE2 drastically decreases AP production in cells, whereas overexpression of BACE1 greatly increases Aβ production. We and others have shown that Aβ is elevated in brains of DS patients. Our study further shows that β-secretase activity is abnormally increased. Further study reveals that BACE1 protein levels are markedly increased in DS fetal brain tissues. Time-lapse live imaging, cell fractionation, and pulse-chase experiments show that BACE1 accumulates abnormally in the Golgi of DS cells. These data demonstrate that abnormal BACE1 accumulation leads to elevated β-secretase activity and subsequent Aβ deposition in DS patients. Our results provide a novel molecular mechanism by which AD develops in DS and suggest that inhibiting BACE1 or potentiating BACE2 would benefit AD patients.

description: The paper examines the relationship between banking and securities activities in the light of financial market developments (securitisation, institutionalization of investment, emergence of complex financial instruments, conglomeration and consolidation), with particular reference to Europe. The enhanced links between banking and securities businesses have generated increased and new risks to financial institutions. However, banks' stability remains crucial for the stability of the financial system as a whole, because of their unique role as provider of liquidity. The paper also addresses the implications of the banking-securities combination for regulatory and supervisory arrangements. The exporting of prudential requirements traditional in banking (such as capital ratios) into the securities field, and the importing of securities regulation (such as transparency requirements) into the banking sector, can be deemed mutually beneficial. As regards supervision, there is a need to monitor the continued effectiveness of the current framework. This entails strengthening co-operation both at the national level and on a cross-border basis among sectoral supervisors in the micro-prudential field, and between them and central banks in the macro-prudential field.

description: Nowadays, high resolution satellite imagery and Lidar data are two of the main data sources for setting up high accuracy detailed GIS. Typically, in Lidar projects
airphotos and LiDAR point clouds are simultaneously acquired but if due to technical situation (night fly or malfunction with photocamera) there is no airphoto, high resolution satellite image is relatively compatible alternative in term of level of detail to accompany with Lidar data through post-processing as well as information extraction. The orthorectification using DSM increases accuracy of orthophoto, removes displacement of high
feature especially in those residential area with high density of buildings. This article presents research results on methods for satellite image rectification, requirements of
control points and proposes a workflow for ortho-rectification of satellite image using DSM Lidar. Experimental work in the town of BacGiang with WorldView-1, panchromatic, resolution 0.5m image utilizing DSM from Lidar 2.5 points/m2 is
introduced. Results of ortho-rectification using DEM and DSM are compared and
evaluated. Conclusions and recommendations are drawned for applying proposed
workflow in the future based on experimental results.

description: Self-interest bias describes an observer’s tendency to judge moral transgression leniently when they benefit from it. However, what factors moderate the self-interest bias is an open empirical question. Here, we investigated to what extent hypocrisy moderates the self-interest bias. Preregistered Study 1a (N = 194) and replication in Study 1b (N = 193) demonstrated that observers’ interest impacts moral character judgments of hypocritical transgressors. This effect was explained by observers’ goal attainment due to transgression (Study 2, N = 713) and agreement to aid observers’ or ingroup interests (Study 3, N = 634). Importantly, transgressors’ hypocrisy moderated the impact of observers’ interests in moral character judgments (Studies 2 & 3). In summary, when judging hypocritical transgressors, peoples’ moral character judgments tend to be biased by their or their group’s interests. However, in comparison to non-hypocritical transgressors, this impact is less pronounced.

description: Estimating the photo-response non-uniformity (PRNU) of an imaging sensor from videos is a challenging task due to complications created by several processing steps in the camera imaging pipeline. Among these steps, video coding is one of the most disruptive to PRNU estimation because of its lossy nature. Since videos are always stored in a compressed format, the ability to cope with the disruptive effects of encoding is central to reliable attribution. In this work, by focusing on the block-based operation of widely used video coding standards, we present an improved approach to PRNU estimation that exploits this behavior. To this purpose, several PRNU weighting schemes that utilize block-level parameters, such as encoding block type, quantization strength, and rate-distortion value, are proposed and compared. Our results show that the use of the coding rate of a block serves as a better estimator for the strength of PRNU with almost three times improvement in the matching statistic at low to medium coding bitrates as compared to the basic estimation method developed for photos.

description: Two previously unreported dimethylpyranoflavanones, pyronomelodorones A and B (1 and 2), along with five known compounds, 7-O-methyldihydrowogonin (3), 5,6,7-trimethoxyflavanone (4), 5,6-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-dihydroflavone (5), 5,7,8-trimethoxydihydroflavone (6), and pinostrobin (7), were isolated from the roots of Melodorum fruticosum. The structures of all isolates were fully characterized using spectroscopic data and comparison with the previous literature. All isolates were evaluated for their in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition and their cytotoxicity against KB, HepG2, and MCF7 cell lines. Among the isolates, compound 1 exhibited the most inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and was superior to the positive control with an IC50 value of 1.32 μM. Compounds 1 and 2 showed weak cytotoxicity against the three human cancer cell lines, with IC50 values in the range of 53.3–79.0 μM.

description: I review the literature regarding the impact of financial innovation on the monetary transmission mechanism and on the way the central bank can achieve its ultimate goal, that is to control the price level. We argue that, although the form of central bank instruments and current methods for implementing monetary policy may change, the goals that the policy makers try to achieve by employing these instruments remain valid, and achievable.

description: Die ehemals für den Schienenfernverkehr benötigten Infrastrukturbauten und Gleisanlagen haben ihre Funktion zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts verloren und liegen heute brach. Die innerstädtische Lage und hervorragende infrastrukturelle Anbindung machen das Bahnhofsareal für städtebauliche Entwicklungsszenarien in Würzburg besonders attraktiv. Die Entwurfsaufgabe umfasst auf ca. 10 ha Grundfläche die Planung von Verkehr, Verkehrsbauten, Grünraum, Wohn- sowie Bürobauten, einzelne Sonderbauten und eines neuen Bahnhofsgebäude.
description: The infrastructural buildings and track installations lost their function in the beginning 21th century and are nowadays out of use. The inner-city location and good infrastructural connection makes the staion area in Würzburg highly attractive for an urban reuse. The design includes the arrangements for traffic, trafficbulidings, landscape design, residential- as well as officebuildings, single special buildings and a new train station building.

description: The Bubble regime of electron acceleration in ultra-relativistic laser plasma is considered. It has been shown that the bubble can produce ultra-short dense bunches of electrons with quasi-monoenergetic energy spectra. The first experiment in this regime done at LOA has confirmed the peaked electron spectrum (J. Faure, et al., {\it submitted}, 2004). The generated electron bunch may have density an order of magnitude higher than that of the background plasma. The bubble is able to guide the laser pulse over many Rayleigh lengths, thus no preformed plasma channel is needed for high-energy particle acceleration in the bubble regime. In the present work we discuss a simple analytical model for the bubble fields as well as the scaling laws.

description: Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in many regions occurs under rainfed conditions where water deficit limits yield and causes instability of production. A field study was conducted to evaluate the response of nine Caribbean and Central American common bean lines under rainfed conditions in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands and to assess Ν fixation under limiting and non-limiting moisture conditions. The lines included nodulating and non-nodulating isolines of BAT 477 and DOR 364. The study used a split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design with moisture as the main plot, genotypes as subplot, and four replications. Higher than normal precipitation impeded the development of moisture deficit in the rainfed treatment, so yield did not differ between rainfed and control treatments. Yield of the nine genotypes ranged from 142 to 1508 kg ha1. Yield of XAN 176, DOR 364 (nodulating), and 9603- 22 exceeded 1300 kg ha"1, despite infestations of common blight (Xanthomonas campestris pv. Phaseoli), Cercospora (Cercospora canescens), bean leafskeletonizer (near Autoplasia spp), and ozone damage. Yield was reduced by 17 and 27% in the nonnodulating isolines of BAT 477 and DOR 364, respectively. The genotypes ICA Palmer and SEA5 had the lowest yield, each producing less than 700 kg ha"1. Days to flower ranged from 34 (9603-22 and ICA Palmer) to 38 days after planting (DAP) and days to maturity ranged from 69 (9603-22) to 75 DAP (BAT 477, BAT 477 (non-nodulating), SEA5, and 8-42-M-2).

description: The growing deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) systems aims to ease the daily life of end-users by providing several value-added services. However, IoT systems may capture and store sensitive, personal data about individuals in the cloud, thereby jeopardizing user-privacy. Emerging legislation, such as California's CalOPPA and GDPR in Europe, support strong privacy laws to protect an individual's data in the cloud. One such law relates to strict enforcement of data retention policies. This paper proposes a framework, entitled IoT Expunge that allows sensor data providers to store the data in cloud platforms that will ensure enforcement of retention policies. Additionally, the cloud provider produces verifiable proofs of its adherence to the retention policies. Experimental results on a real-world smart building testbed show that IoT Expunge imposes minimal overheads to the user to verify the data against data retention policies.

description: We prove that the Schafer-Wayne short pulse equation (SPE) which describes the propagation of ultra-short optical pulses in nonlinear media is integrable. First, we discover a Lax pair of the SPE which turns out to be of the Wadati-Konno-Ichikawa type. Second, we construct a chain of transformations which relates the SPE with the sine-Gordon equation.

description: In this paper STATIS multiway analysis has been applied to investigate the Italian labor force from 1993 to 2001, in order to outline the structure and the dynamics of both demanded skills and education levels. The principal outcomes can be summarized in the following way: the current development of information technology is giving rise to a no uniform and a no one way evolution of labor force within economy sectors and among geographic areas. Instead of bringing about a generalized skill bias, the new technology is bearing a strong polarization between educated worker, not always employed in high skilled occupations, and less educated, often excluded from labor market.

description: Two new glycosylflavones, 6′′-O-acetyl-8-C-β-D-galactopyranosylchrysoeriol (1) and 8-C-β-D-galactopyranosylchrysoeriol (2) were isolated from the methanol extract of the leaves of Ochna afzelii Oliv., along with four known compounds namely 8-C-β-D-galactopyranosylapigenin (3), ochnaflavone (4), sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5) and D-mannitol (6). Isolation was performed chromatographically and the structures of the purified compounds were elucidated by analyzing their spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data. The antibacterial activity of extract, fractions, and compounds 1 − 4 was evaluated using broth microdilution method against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria while the antioxidant capacity was performed using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods. The new flavones (1 and 2) displayed moderate antibacterial activities (MIC = 32 − 64 µg/mL) and weak antioxidant properties.
