description: HGH1 homolog, a protein-coding gene, plays a crucial role in human growth and development. However, its role in human cancer remains unclear. For the first time, this study comprehensively evaluated the potential involvement of HGH1 in cancer prognosis and immunological function. To achieve this, data from various databases, including The Cancer Genome Atlas, Genotype Tissue Expression, Cancer Cell Lineage Encyclopedia, Human Protein Atlas, cBioPortal, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource and Immune Cell Abundance Identifier, were collated, as well as from one large clinical study, three immunotherapy cohorts and in vitro experiments. This study aims to elucidate the role of HGH1 expression in cancer prognosis and immune response. Our findings revealed a significant association between increased HGH1 expression and a worse prognosis across various cancer types. Predominantly, copy number variations were identified as the most common genetic mutations. Additionally, HGH1 was observed to not only regulate cell cycle-related functions to promote cell proliferation but also influence autoimmunity-related functions within both the innate and adaptive immune systems, along with other relevant immune-related signaling pathways. Gene set enrichment analysis and gene set variation analysis were used to substantiate these findings. HGH1 overexpression contributed to an immune-deficient (immune-desert) tumor microenvironment, which was characterized by a significant expression of immune-related features such as immune-related gene and pathway expression and the number of immune-infiltrating cells. Furthermore, the correlation between HGH1 expression and tumor mutational burden in four cancers and microsatellite instability in eight cancers was observed. This suggests that HGH1 has potential as an immunotherapeutic target. Immunotherapy data analysis supports this notion, demonstrating that patients with low HGH1 expression treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors exhibit improved survival rates and a higher likelihood of responding to immunotherapy than patients with high HGH1 expression. Collectively, these findings highlight the significant role of HGH1 in human cancers, illuminating its involvement in tumorigenesis and cancer immunity. Elevated HGH1 expression was identified to be indicative of an immune-desert tumor microenvironment. Consequently, the targeting of HGH1, particularly in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, holds promise for enhancing therapeutic outcomes in patients with cancer.

description: The structure and physical properties of the Zr-stabilized, nonstoichiometric molybdenum diboride superconductor are reported. Good quality material of the diboride structure type can only be obtained by partial substitution of Zr for Mo, and the quenching of melts. The phase is best made with boron in excess of the ideal 2:1 boron to metal ratio. Powder neutron diffraction measurements show that the non-stoichiometry is accommodated by atom deficiency in the metal layers. The diboride structure type exists for (Mo.96Zr.04)xB2 for x between 0.85 and 1.0. Electron diffraction shows that the stoichiometric material, x=1, has a significant number of stacking faults. Tc increases from 5.9 to 8.2K with the introduction of metal vacancies. Resistivity measurements indicate that (Mo.96Zr.04).88B2 is a bad metal, and specific heat measurements show that gamma= 4.4 mJ/mol K2, and that deltaC/gammaTc = 1.19. Preliminary boron isotope effect measurements indicate an exponent 0.11(5). Analysis of the data in terms of the electronic structure is reported, allowing an estimate of the electron-phonon coupling constant, lamda = 0.1-0.3, making these weak-coupling superconductors. Preliminary characterizations of the superconductivity in the related phases NbxB2 and (Mo.96X.04).85B2 for X=Ti, and Hf are reported.

description: We study image formation with the solar gravitational lens (SGL). We consider a point source that is positioned at a large but finite distance from the Sun. We assume that an optical telescope is positioned in the image plane, in the focal region of the SGL. We model the telescope as a convex lens and evaluate the intensity distribution produced by the electromagnetic field that forms the image in the focal plane of the convex lens. We first investigate the case when the telescope is located on the optical axis of the SGL or in its immediate vicinity. This is the region of strong interference where the SGL forms an image of a distant source, which is our primary interest. We derive analytic expressions that describe the progression of the image from an Einstein ring corresponding to an on-axis telescope position, to the case of two bright spots when the telescope is positioned some distance away from the optical axis. At greater distances from the optical axis, in the region of weak interference and that of geometric optics, we recover expressions that are familiar from models of gravitational microlensing, but developed here using a wave-optical treatment. We discuss applications of the results for imaging and spectroscopy of exoplanets with the SGL.

description: We compare the results of Grimm et al. (2003) and Ranalli et al. (2003) on the Lx-SFR relation in normal galaxies. Based on the Lx-stellar mass dependence for LMXBs, we show, that low SFR (SFR<1 Msun/year) galaxies in the Ranalli et al. sample are contaminated by the X-ray emission from low mass X-ray binaries, unrelated to the current star formation activity. The most important conclusion from our comparison is, however, that after the data are corrected for the ``LMXB contamination'', the two datasets become consistent with each other, despite of their different content, variability effects, difference in the adopted source distances, X-ray flux and star formation rate determination and in the cosmological parameters used in interpreting the HDF-N data. They also agree well, both in the low and high SFR regimes, with the predicted Lx-SFR dependence derived from the parameters of the ``universal'' HMXB luminosity function. This encouraging result emphasizes the potential of the X-ray luminosity as an independent star formation rate indicator for normal galaxies.

The self-energy is calculated exactly up to terms of order $ω^2$, $T^2$ and $V^2$, and the coefficients are defined with respect to the equilibrium ground state. From these results, the nonlinear response of the current through the impurity has been deduced up to order $V^3$.

description: Speaker diarization relies on the assumption that speech segments corresponding to a particular speaker are concentrated in a specific region of the speaker space; a region which represents that speaker's identity. These identities are not known a priori, so a clustering algorithm is typically employed, which is traditionally based solely on audio. Under noisy conditions, however, such an approach poses the risk of generating unreliable speaker clusters. In this work we aim to utilize linguistic information as a supplemental modality to identify the various speakers in a more robust way. We are focused on conversational scenarios where the speakers assume distinct roles and are expected to follow different linguistic patterns. This distinct linguistic variability can be exploited to help us construct the speaker identities. That way, we are able to boost the diarization performance by converting the clustering task to a classification one. The proposed method is applied in real-world dyadic psychotherapy interactions between a provider and a patient and demonstrated to show improved results.

description: La reforma de la Organización Común de Mercados de Frutas y Hortalizas llevada a cabo mediante la promulgación del Reglamento (CE) 2200/1996, del Consejo, establece un nuevo instrumento financiero para las Organizaciones de Productores de Frutas y Hortalizas denominado Fondo Operativo. Sin embargo, su regulación adolece de imprecisiones conceptuales de naturaleza económico-financiera y fiscal pudiendo generar situaciones de inseguridad jurídica en las Organizaciones. Ante la repercusión que tienen los citados Fondos en la estructura y competitividad de la empresa, en el presente trabajo se analiza la influencia que las distintas alternativas de reconocimiento contable, generan sobre la información económico- financiera y su correspondiente tributación tanto en lo que respecta a la Organización de Productores como al socio, respetando en todo momento el ordenamiento legal vigente. Entre las conclusiones obtenidas, se pone de manifiesto que la opción contable que armoniza en mejor medida la normativa comunitaria con la nacional es el tratamiento de la contribución financiera del socio como Reserva o Capital, implicando un menor efecto fiscal.......The Common Organitation of the Market in Fruit and Vegetables reform, carried out by the Regulation (EC) N.º 2200/1996, establishes a new financial instrument called Operational Fund, which has been created in order to be used by the Producer Organisations. Nevertheless its regulation presents some financial and fiscal vagueness, that may drive these organisations to legal insecurity situations. Due to the relevance and influence that the mentioned funds have on the structure and competitiveness of companies, this paper analyses the different accounting solutions that according to the national regulations, the organisation can use. The conclusions show that the best accounting option is to consider the partner’s financial contribution as a Reserve or a Capital account. Besides achieving the lowest fiscal effects, it is the best way to deal with the local and European regulation

description: Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be divided into two major classes, namely radio-loud and radio-quiet AGNs. A small subset of the radio-loud AGNs is called blazars, which are believed to be unified with Fanaroff-Riley type I and type II (FRI&II) radio galaxies. Following our previous work, we present a latest sample of 966 sources with measured radio flux densities of the core and extended components. The sample includes 83 BL Lacs, 473 FSRQs, 101 Seyferts, 245 galaxies, 52 FRIs&IIs and 12 unidentified sources. We then calculate the radio core-dominance parameters and spectral indices and study their relationship. Our analysis shows that the core-dominance parameters and spectral indices are quite different for different types of sources. We also corroborate that the correlation between core-dominance parameter and radio spectral index extends over all the sources in a large sample presented.

La metodología que se utiliza está basada en la teoría de la representación racional de series, en concreto en la aproximación de Padé y en su aplicación al ámbito del análisis y modelización de series temporales. A tal fin consideramos como año clave en dicho estudio el año 1993 en que se implantó la ayuda compensatoria por parte de la Unión Europea (por kilo producido) como medio de subsistencia del sector. En este sentido, llevamos a cabo un análisis de sensibilidad sobre el comportamiento de la producción en respuesta a diferentes esquemas de comportamiento teórico para las expectativas de ayuda compensatoria que responden a diferentes escenarios......The aim of this paper, with the restrictions due to the available data, consists of modelling the evolution of the banana production and the producer earnings in Canary Islands in the last decades. The methodological approach is based on the rational representation of formal power series, particularly in the Padé approximation and its application to the analysis and modelling of time series. With this aim in view, we consider an important date in this context, the year 1993, when the European Union gets going a mechanism of compensatory aid to guarantee the subsistence of the banana sector.

description: Objective. A growing number of studies have explored fathers’ parenting quality and its effects on children during infancy and early childhood; however, gaps remain toward understanding fathers’ and mothers’ parenting quality from a family systems’ perspective in late childhood and adolescence. Furthermore, prior research has focused on modeling the overall average changes in fathering and mothering across years (e.g. intraindividual change), but it is also important to directly evaluate the shorter-term day-to-day dynamics of fathering and mothering.Design. The present study utilized dynamic structural equation modeling to explore yearly and daily patterns in fathers’ and mothers’ parenting quality in a sample of 278 father-mother couples of youth ranging in age from middle-childhood through adolescence from the midwestern United States. Results. There were no changes in average daily levels of fathering or mothering across years, and there was significant stability in day-to-day fathering and mothering within and across years. Fathering and mothering were interrelated with one another. Yearly-level and daily-level fathering were negatively related to each other, consistent with the idea that better, more positive trait-levels of fathering may be associated with more “fluctuations” in day-to-day fathering. Conclusions. Our results shed light on patterns in fathering and mothering over time during later child development and across different timescales. Our study highlights the importance of considering fathering and mothering simultaneously to provide a family systems perspective.
Small mammal assemblages in land-reclaimed areas: do historical soil use changes and recent anthropisation affect their dominance structure?

description: We report a case of structural oversimplification in a small mammal assemblage, indirectly obtained by owl pellets (central Italy), where mice (Rodentia Muridae) largely dominated both in abundance and biomass (about 95%). We hypothesise that this fact could be due to: (i) recent anthropisation, which induced both an expected increase of synanthropic generalist species (mice, Muridae) and a sharp reduction in high trophic level species (shrews, Soricomorpha), and, (ii) historical land reclamation occurred in the 19th century, which changed the edaphic characteristics, and consequently inducing an unexpected local absence of common digging species (yet reported by literature for the Maremma plain) everywhere diffused along Italian peninsula: the ubiquitous Microtus savii (Microtidae), and the moles (Talpa spp., Talpidae). These two causal processes, acting at different temporal scales, could strongly affect the structure of the small mammal assemblage, dominated by a single taxonomic guild (Muridae), therefore similar to neighbouring insular assemblages (Tuscan Archipelago).

description: We use the Milne phase function in the continuum part of the spectrum of the particular Coulomb problem that has been employed by Bhaduri, Khare, and Law as an equivalent physical way for calculating the density of zeros of the Riemann's function on the critical line. The Milne function seems to be a promising approximate method to calculate the density of prime numbers

description: We construct both local states and scattering states with finite energy in global AdS by inserting properly regularized operators in the CFT of arbitrary conformal dimension $(Δ)$ at an instant of time. We give the state fixed angular momentum $(\ell)$ by integrating the result over a sphere with appropriate spherical harmonics. The energy of the states and their angular resolution is computed with CFT operator methods and is independent of having an AdS interpretation. In the semiclassical limit of large conformal dimension operators, these correspond to single particles localized within subAdS scales with width $1/\sqrtΔ$ in AdS units, whose subsequent evolution is controlled by bulk geodesics. Our construction allows us to place a particle in any desired geodesic. For radial geodesics, we show that the amplitude to produce the desired state can be thought of as a regularized tunneling amplitude from the boundary to the radial turning point of the radial geodesic, while for other geodesics we argue that the insertion is at the outermost radial turning point of the corresponding geodesic.

description: China is a large consumer and producer of pork. However, pork is a common food that frequently suffers from safety problems in China. Thus, the safety of pork is of important strategic significance to China's food safety. The food traceability system is considered a major tool for the fundamental prevention of food safety risks. In this study, four attributes, i.e., traceability information, quality certification, appearance, and price, were set for traceable pork on the basis of previous studies. Levels were set for the attribute traceability information based on the major processes of safety risk in the Chinese pork supply chain. For the level setting of quality certification, domestic and international third-party certification was included in addition to government certification. Levels of price were set by appropriately increasing the average price of pork in cities surveyed in September 2013 according to the premiums that consumers were willing to pay for particular attribute levels in a random nth price auction. Based on the above experimental design, a survey was conducted in 1,489 consumers in seven pilot cities designated by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce for construction of a meat circulation traceability system. On this basis, consumer preferences and willingness to pay for traceable pork attributes, as well as influencing factors, were investigated using choice experiments. According to the results from both mixed logit and latent class models, quality certification was the most important characteristic, followed by appearance, and traceability information. In addition, “government certification”, “fresh-looking”, and “traceability information covering farming, slaughter, and processing, and circulation and marketing” were the most preferred levels of quality certification, appearance, and traceability information, respectively. Significant heterogeneity was observed in consumer preferences for the attributes of traceable pork. Consumers’ preferences and willingness to pay for traceability information and quality certification were significantly influenced by age, monthly family income, and education level. It is hoped that the findings of this study will provide a useful reference for the Chinese government in improving traceable food consumption policies.

description: In this paper we study non-perturbative instabilities in Anti de-Sitter vacua arising from flux compactifications of string models with broken supersymmetry. In the semi-classical limit, these processes drive the vacua towards lower fluxes, which translate into higher curvatures and higher string couplings. In order to shed some light on this regime, we provide evidence for a description in terms of branes, which generate near-horizon AdS throats. To this end, we study the attractor properties of the geometries near the throat, and we also characterize their asymptotics away from it. We also describe the instability within a probe-brane picture, finding an agreement between low-energy (super)gravity and brane instanton estimates of the decay rates.

 Laparocerus crassirostris Wollaston 1864, p 345.
 Type locality. Pinar de Tirajana, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.
 Holotype: 1♀, April 1858, Gran Canaria (dark blue card-line), Pinal of Tirajana (above San Bartolome´), leg. Wollaston [Type] [crassirostris, W.]. NHM, London.
 Remarks. In his book on the Coleoptera of Morocco, Escalera (1914, p 405) comments in a footnote on ‘‘ Laparocerus conicirostris Woll. ’’ (an incorrect subsequent spelling) as having been collected in Morocco by von Fritsch and Rein and reported by Heyden (1887). However, Heyden only lists L. crassirostris as being collected by von Fritsch and Rein in Gran Canaria, where the species is endemic (Heyden 1875).

description: We present two prescriptions for broadband (~77 - 252 GHz), millimeter-wave antireflection coatings for cryogenic, sintered polycrystalline aluminum oxide optics: one for large-format (700 mm diameter) planar and plano-convex elements, the other for densely packed arrays of quasi-optical elements, in our case 5 mm diameter half-spheres (called "lenslets"). The coatings comprise three layers of commercially-available, polytetrafluoroethylene-based, dielectric sheet material. The lenslet coating is molded to fit the 150 mm diameter arrays directly while the large-diameter lenses are coated using a tiled approach. We review the fabrication processes for both prescriptions then discuss laboratory measurements of their transmittance and reflectance. In addition, we present the inferred refractive indices and loss tangents for the coating materials and the aluminum oxide substrate. We find that at 150 GHz and 300 K the large-format coating sample achieves (97 +/- 2)% transmittance and the lenslet coating sample achieves (94 +/- 3)% transmittance.

description: Male- and female-specific insect behaviours originate from differences in brain structure and morphology which are regulated by specific genes in the so called sex-determination pathway. One of the brain regions that differs between males and females is the odour-processing center, the antennal lobe, which contains multiple glomeruli. Here we studied the differences in brain structure in the parasitoid wasp, Nasonia vitripennis to see if males had different glomeruli numbers when compared to females. For this he had to dissect the brains from a 2 mm large (or rather small) wasp, and use specific staining techniques to see how the brains from males and females differed in glomeruli numbers. We found that females have ~40 glomeruli more than males. Subsequently we silenced one of the genes in the sex determination pathway using RNA interference to shift female developments towards male development and in this way create intersexes. We then recorded the changes in brain sexual differentiation by counting glomeruli numbers in these intersexes. In this way we hoped to understand the role of the different genes in the sex determination cascade on brain development. We observed that indeed in intersexes the brain is also a mix of male and female brain characteristics with glomeruli numbers that are in between those of males and females. In this way we can better understand which gene is most important in sex-specific brain development in insects.

description: We calculate the single-particle spectral function A (k, omega) of a one-dimensional Luttinger liquid by means of a functional renormalization group (RG) approach. Given an infrared energy cutoff Lambda = Lambda_0 e^{- l}, our approach yields the spectral function in the scaling form, A_Λ (k_F + p, omega) = tau Z_l tilde{A}_l (p xi, omega tau), where k_F is the Fermi momentum, Z_l is the wave-function renormalization factor, tau = 1 / Λis the time scale and xi = v_F / Λis the length scale associated with Lambda. At the Luttinger liquid fixed point (l rightarrow infty) our RG result for A (k, omega) exhibits the correct anomalous scaling properties, and for k = \pm k_F agrees exactly with the well-known bosonization result at weak coupling. Our calculation demonstrates that the field rescaling is essential for obtaining the crossover from Fermi liquid behavior to Luttinger liquid behavior from a truncation of the hierarchy of exact RG flow equations as the infrared cutoff is reduced.

description: We study the free energy of mixed $p$-spin spin glass models enriched with an additional magnetic field given by the canonical Gaussian field associated with a Ruelle probability cascade. We prove that this free energy converges to the Hopf-Lax solution of a certain Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Using this result, we give a new representation of the free energy of mixed $p$-spin models with soft spins.
