description: Volume 100 in the series of IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans comprises an update and review of relevant information on all agents determined to induce cancer in humans. These Group 1 agents are categorized in 6 Monographs (Volumes 100A-F) published in 2012. This paper describes the methodology and stringent criteria used in the creation of a comprehensive database on tumors noted in animals and humans for the carcinogens reviewed in Volume 100, and for additional Group 1 agents that were identified in subsequent Monographs through Volume 109. The development of this database involved the systematic collection of relevant data on tumors detected in humans and experimental animals identified by the Working Groups that conducted evaluations reported in the IARC Monographs. The database includes all human tumor sites identified by the Working Groups, along with all tumor sites for which there was sufficient evidence in experimental animals. This database provides a basis for assessing the degree of concordance between tumor sites observed in humans and experimental animals for Group 1 agents identified through Volume 109.

description: The purpose of the study was to present the advisory opportunities in the process of linking research and the needs of farmers, with regard to innovative knowledge. In this process the advisory role was shown through the transfer of knowledge involving environmentally friendly practices from research and experiments conducted on demonstration farms. The research material were raw and existing data, gathered through appropriate questionnaires using the method of in-depth interviews and survey method. The descriptive case presents an example of good practice in agricultural extension and advisory services, operating within a created network of cooperation. The network approach is characterised by various formal and informal connections between network participants and the interactions among them. The linkages and interactions between the network participants concern conducting research, designing and implementing solutions and tools, providing advice, and the dissemination of knowledge and innovation. Demonstration farms represent the highest level of agricultural production and are the place of performance of seminars, lectures, demonstrations and shows in order to facilitate the transfer of knowledge from science to practice.
Searching for New Physics in the rare decay B^+ \to D_s^+ ϕ

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

description: The rare decay $B^+ \to D_s^+ ϕ$ can occur only via annihilation type diagram in the standard model. The small branching ratio predicted in the standard model makes this channel sensitive to new physics contributions. We analyze this decay mode, both in the standard model and in several extensions of it. The models considered are minimal supersymmetric model with R-parity violation and two Higgs doublet model. The experimental verification of our findings of large branching ratio and/or nonzero CP asymmetry may signal the presence of new physics.

description: We develop an analytically tractable two-country model that marries a full account of global macroeconomic dynamics to a supply framework based on monopolistic competition and sticky nominal prices. The model offers simple and intuitive predictions about exchange rates and current accounts that sometimes differ sharply from those of either modern flexible-price intertemporal models or traditional sticky-price Keynesian models. Our analysis leads to a novel perspective on the international welfare spillovers due to monetary and fiscal policies.

description: Tiny violation of Lorentz invariance has been the subject of theoretic study and experimental test for a long time. We use the Standard-Model Extension (SME) framework to investigate the effect of the minimal Lorentz violation on the structure of a neutron star. A set of hydrostatic equations with modifications from Lorentz violation are derived, and then the modifications are isolated and added to the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation as the leading-order Lorentz-violation corrections in relativistic systems. A perturbation solution to the leading-order modified TOV equations is found. The quadrupole moments due to the anisotropy in the structure of neutron stars are calculated and used to estimate the quadrupole radiation of a spinning neutron star with the same deformation. The calculation puts forward a new test for Lorentz invariance in the strong-field regime when continuous gravitational waves are observed in the future.

Alara

description: Genus Alara Distant
 Alara Distant, 1911: 643. Type species: Alara dux Distant, 1911, by monotypy.
 Mecynorhynchus Muir, 1913: 82. Type species: Mecynorhynchus kershawi Muir, 1913, by original designation, synonymised by Zelazny, 1981: 216
 Diagnosis. The species of Alara Distant can be recognized by the combination of the following characters:
1. Forewings elongated, oval in shape and often infuscated. In live specimens (6 species observed) the wing surfaces form a common plane (see Figs. 3, 5, 6).
2. Forewings with five broad costal cells, usually gradually decreasing in length towards the apex.
3. The Sc+R fork is located in the basal third of the forewings. There is usually no triangle at the base of Ms1.
4. Ms1 is often branched distad of its middle.
5. Cu1 is usually connected to Ms1 by a crossvein or, less commonly, both veins merge for a short section.
6. The antennae are usually more elongated than in other genera of the Rhotanini.
7. The rostrum is long, usually reaching the middle or end of the abdomen.
 Gender. Distant did not explain the origin of the name ' Alara '. The origin seems to be a local female first name because the genus was described by Distant together with the genus Sumangala another female first name in the Indian region. Alara should be considered to be feminine, following article 30.2.4 of the Code.
 Distribution. The distribution of the genus is shown in Figure 119 and Table 2. Most species of this genus are found in New Guinea (10), the Philippines (7) and Borneo (6).
 Grouping. The species of Alara are mainly characterized by different colourations and the structure of their male genitalia. While some species are obviously closely related, grouping the species appears not to be possible for the large majority without the help of a molecular phylogenetic analysis.

description: The critical behavior at the frozen/active transition in the Domany-Kinzel stochastic cellular automaton (DKCA) is studied {\it via} a surface growth process in (1+1) dimensions. At criticality, this process presents a kinetic roughening transition; we measure the critical exponents in simulations. Two update schemes are considered: in the symmetric scheme, the growth surfaces belong to the Directed Percolation (DP) universality class, except at one terminal point. At this point, the phase transition is discontinuous and the surfaces belong to the Compact Directed Percolation universality class. The relabeling of space-time points in the nonsymmetric scheme alters the surface growth dramatically. The critical behavior of rough surfaces at the nonchaotic/chaotic transition is also studied using the damage spreading technique; the exponents confirm DP values for the symmetric scheme.

description: The parallels between the 1931, 1949, 1967 and 1992 sterling crises have not gone unremarkecl upon. But the 1992 episode, understandably in light of its recent pedigree, has not been the subject of the same kind of comparative analysis as the United Kingdom's three earlier 20th century balance-of-payments crisis. A systematic comparison can highlight features common to currency crises and identify factors that cause crises occurring at different times to evolve in different ways. With these goals in mind, we explore in this paper similarities and differences between the first and last of these episodes: the United Kingdom's 1931 and 1992 currency crises.
Network of Domain Walls on Soliton Stars

description: We explore the idea of a network of domain walls to appear at the surface of a soliton star. We show that for a suitable fine tuning among the parameters of the model we can find localized fermion zero modes only on the network of domain walls. In this scenario the soliton star gets unstable and decays into free particles before the cold matter upper mass limit is achieved. However, if fermions do not bind to the network of domain walls, the network becomes neutral, imposing a new lower bound on the charge of the soliton star, slightly raising its critical mass.

description: Disordered networks of fragile elastic elements have been proposed as a model for inner porous regions of large bones [Gunaratne et.al., cond-mat/0009221]. In numerical studies, weakening of such networks is seen to be accompanied by reductions in the fraction of load carrying bonds. This observation is used to show that the ratio $Γ$ of linear responses of networks to DC and AC driving can be used as a surrogate for their strength. The possibility of using $Γ$ as a non-invasive diagnostic of osteoporotic bone is discussed.

description: Estimates of growth equations have found a role for openness, particularly in explaining rapid growth among East Asian countries. But major concerns of simultaneous causality between growth and trade have been expressed. This study aims to deal with the endogeneity of trade by using as instrumental variables the exogenous determinants from the gravity model of bilateral trade, such as proximity to trading partners. Our preliminary finding is that the effect of openness on growth is even clearer when we correct for the endogeneity of openness than in standard OLS estimates. We conclude with estimates of how much has been contributed to East Asian growth by openness (both the exogenous or geographical component of openness and the residual or policy component).

Während bestehende Rechtsrahmen die Nachnutzung solcher Materialien - wie zum Beispiel das Kopieren, die Bearbeitung oder Weiterverbreitung - oft vor allem einschränken, sind freie Lizenzen rechtliche Konstrukte, welche solcherlei Nachnutzung erleichtern sollen. Dies geschieht, indem Rechteinhaber in einer standardisierten Art und Weise auf die Ausübung bestimmter Rechte rund um die Nutzung einer Ressource verzichten und dadurch Dritten bestimmte Formen der Nutzung unter bestimmten Bedingungen automatisch einräumen, d.h. ohne, dass es einer zusätzlichen Interaktion zwischen Rechteinhabern und Nutzern bedarf. Es gibt freie Lizenzen verschiedener Typen, welche sich nach der Natur der zur Nutzung stehenden Ressourcen (also z.B. Bild oder Software) richten. Innerhalb dieses Rahmens existieren Lizenz-Varianten, mit Hilfe derer spezifiziert werden kann, welche Nutzungsformen die Rechteinhaber Dritten unter welchen Bedingungen für welche Ressourcen einräumen. In diesem Vortrag, der selbst frei lizensiert ist, werden einige typische freie Lizenzen vorgestellt und Möglichkeiten und Grenzen ihres Einsatzes in der Schule beispielhaft illustriert. Damit soll eine Grundlage dafür geschaffen werden, mögliche Einsätze freier Lizenzen am Carl-Zeiss-Gymnasium tiefergehend zu diskutieren.

(Fig. 125)
 Description. Forewings 2.0 times longer than wide, length about 3.5 mm. Colour stramineous; two small dark grey marks in front and above the eyes; apical section of labium dark brown; fore femora greyish, fore and middle femora with a thin red stripe along apical half; all tibiae with a bright red ring around middle and with dark tips; abdomen stramineous, last two segments reddish brown, genitalia grey. Forewings white, powdered; very faintly infuscated around some of the cross-veins; costal margin tinted with orange. Rostrum reaching middle of abdomen; antennae small. Forewings with Sc+R fork in basal third; Ms1 branched distad of its middle, bases of Ms1 and Cu1 connected by a cross-vein. Male genitalia with pygofer narrow. Genital styles with dorsal processes well separated. Apical part of aedeagus simple, elongated.
 Etymology. The species name is a Latin adjective (aquilonius, -a, -um = northern).
 Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 3.5 mm, body 1.8 mm), LAOS; labels: 1) LAOS: Vientiane / Prov., Gi Sion/ Vill., de Tha Ngone / 5–19.XII.1965 2) Native Collector/ RONDON - BISHOP MUS./ COLLECTION/ Malaise Trap (BPBM).
 Distribution. Laos.
 Diagnosis. Alara aquilonia is similar to A. obscura (Muir) from Java, Borneo and Sri Lanka. However, the dorsal processes of the male genital styles are separated, and the male aedeagus is shorter and does not widen apically. It also differs in the coloration of the facial marks and the abdomen, but, with only one specimen available, it is not clear how consistent such colour differences are.

description: Superconducting microwave parametric amplifiers are attractive due to their ability to reach quantum limit of noise. They have enabled ultrasensitive detection of photons in radio astronomy and real-time readout of superconducting quantum bits. In this thesis, I will present the results of modelling of two different kinds of Josephson Travelling Wave Parametric Amplifier (JTWPA) architectures. First, I give the quantum mechanical model of a basic JTWPA, achieving the same expectation values as the classical modelling. Afterwards I present a quantum model for a JTWPA element with resonant phase matching (RPM), in order to deal with non-linear effects in the dispersion relation at high pump currents. Both models are modelled within the lumped element limit.

description: Motivated by previous studies in literature about the potential importance of relativistic corrections to galaxy cluster hydrostatic masses, we calculate the masses of 12 relaxed clusters (with Chandra X-ray data) using the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov (TOV) equation of hydrostatic equilibrium and the ideal gas equation of state. Analytical formulae for gas density and temperature profiles for these clusters, previously derived by Vikhlinin et al (astro-ph/0507092) were used to obtain these masses. We compare the TOV-based masses with those obtained using the corresponding Newtonian equation of hydrostatic equilibrium. We find that the fractional relative difference between the two masses are negligible, corresponding to $\sim \mathcal{O}(10^{-5})$.

description: In order to target nonrespondents proactively, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) began using propensity nonresponse models for the Quarterly Agricultural Survey (QAS). Since 2009, NASS has used national models to identify likely nonrespondents for the QAS. For the September and December 2012 surveys, targeted data collection procedures were created, partly based on the nonresponse propensity scores, and evaluated. We compared response rates between treatment and comparison states to determine the scores’ efficacy. In addition, we examined the difference in actual and predicted response rates for the treatment and comparison states to determine whether the targeted data collection procedures increased response rates.
Vacuum condensate of mass dimension 2 as the origin of mass gap and quark confinement

description: We propose a vacuum condensate of mass dimension 2 consisting of gluons and ghosts in the framework of the manifestly covariant gauge fixing of the SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. This quantity is both BRST and anti-BRST invariant for any gauge. It includes the ghost condensation $C^a \bar{C}^a$ proposed first in the modified Maximal Abelian gauge and reduces to the gluon condensates $(\mathscr{A}_μ)^2$ of mass dimension 2 proposed recently in the Landau gauge of the Lorentz gauge fixing. The vacuum condensate of dimensions 2 can provide the effective mass for gluons and ghosts. The possible existence of such condensations is demonstrated by calculating the operator product expansion of the gluon and ghost propagators in both gauges. Its implications to quark confinement are also discussed in consistent with the previous works.

description: Objectives: Neutrophil apoptosis is mandatory for resolving inflammation and is regulated by expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic genes. We studied neutrophils isolated from patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) to investigate apoptosis alterations and to identify transcriptional and circulating factors affecting this process. Method: We enrolled 36 patients (18 in active stage, 18 in remission) and 18 healthy controls. Circulating levels of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), macrophage migration inhibitory factor, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, interferon-γ, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, soluble Fas (sFas), sFas ligand, survivin, and pentraxin-3 (PTX3) were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay/Luminex; circulating apoptotic neutrophils by flow cytometry; and apoptosis-related gene transcripts by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Patients had decreased fractions of circulating apoptotic neutrophils and delayed neutrophil apoptosis was present in vitro. Circulating levels of TNF-α, GM-CSF, sFas, and PTX3 were higher in GPA. Delayed neutrophil apoptosis was accompanied by decreased mRNA of pro-apoptotic genes and transcription factors (DIABLO, PMAIP1, BAX, CASP3, CASP7, RUNX3, E2F1, TP53) and increased anti-apoptotic CFLAR and BCL2A1 mRNA. TNF-α and sFas levels correlated with circulating apoptotic neutrophils and expression of apoptosis genes. Stimulation with TNF-α of neutrophils from controls significantly down-regulated E2F1 and CASP3 expression. Conclusions: Circulating neutrophils in GPA have anti-apoptotic phenotype involving both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis. This is accompanied by increased levels of circulating pro-survival factors (GM-CSF, TNF-α, sFas), independent of disease activity. Anti-apoptotic phenotype of neutrophils in GPA is reproduced by exposure to low concentrations of TNF-α.

description: In a roughening process, the growth exponent $β$ describes how the roughness $w$ grows with the time $t$: $w\sim t^β$. We determine the exponent $β$ of a growth process generated by the spatiotemporal patterns of the one dimensional Domany-Kinzel cellular automaton. The values obtained for $β$ shows a cusp at the frozen/active transition which permits determination of the transition line. The $β$ value at the transition depends on the scheme used: symmetric ($β\sim 0.83$) or non-symmetric ($β\sim 0.61$). Using damage spreading ideas, we also determine the active/chaotic transition line; this line depends on how the replicas are updated.

description: We study the dynamic chiral magnetic conductivity (DCMC) and natural optical activity in an inversion-broken tilted Weyl semimetal (WSM). Starting from the Kubo formula, we derive the analytical expressions for the DCMC for two different directions of the incident electromagnetic wave. We show that the angle of rotation of the plane of polarization of the transmitted wave exhibits remarkable anisotropic behavior and is larger along the tilt direction. This striking anisotropy of DCMC which results in anisotropic optical activity and rotary power, can be experimentally observed as a topological magneto-electric effect of inversion-broken tilted WSMs. Finally, using the low energy Hamiltonian, we show that the DCMC follows the universal $\frac{1}{ω^2}$ decay in the high frequency regime. In the low frequency regime, however, the DCMC shows sharp peaks at the tilt dependent effective chemical potentials of the left-handed and right-handed Weyl points. This can serve as a signature to distinguish between the type-I and type-II Weyl semimetals.

description: Models of consumer choices have operated based on the principle of the rationality of individuals. Consumers are supposed to be maximizing their utility. However, there is increasing awareness that consumers choices are driven by both conscious and unconscious factors. Recent technological developments now make it possible to incorporate biometric data into models of consumer choices. We introduce a protocol for a laboratory experiment aimed at understanding consumers preferences for olive oil and the impact of information on their willingness to pay for this good. The protocol combines an auction mechanism à la Becker–DeGroot–Marschak with the measurement of biometric data, including eye-movements and facial expression. We compare consumer choice models incorporating different sets of biometric factors and discuss their goodness of fit. While the baseline tobit model allows good prediction of consumers’ willingness to pay for olive oils, the models incorporating biometric data have a higher predictive power.
Charge Smoothening and Band Flattening due to Hartree corrections in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

description: Doping twisted bilayer graphene away from charge neutrality leads to an enormous buildup of charge inhomogeneities within each Moiré unit cell. Here we show, using unbiased real-space self-consistent Hartree calculations on a relaxed lattice, that Coulomb interactions smoothen this charge imbalance by changing the occupation of earlier identified `ring' orbitals in the AB/BA region and `center' orbitals at the AA region. For hole doping, this implies an increase of the energy of the states at the ${\bf Γ}$ point, leading to a further flattening of the flat bands and a pinning of the Van Hove singularity at the Fermi level. The charge smoothening will affect the subtle competition between different possible correlated phases.

description: Abstract: Background: Care coordination is considered important for patients with rare conditions, yet research addressing the impact of care coordination is limited. This study aimed to explore how care coordination (or lack of) impacts on patients and carers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 patients and carers/parents in the UK, representing a range of rare conditions (including undiagnosed conditions). Transcripts were analysed thematically in an iterative process. Results: Participants described a range of experiences and views in relation to care coordination. Reports of uncoordinated care emerged: appointments were uncoordinated, communication between key stakeholders was ineffective, patients and carers were required to coordinate their own care, and care was not coordinated to meet the changing needs of patients in different scenarios. As a result, participants experienced an additional burden and barriers/delays to accessing care. The impacts described by patients and carers, either attributed to or exacerbated by uncoordinated care, included: impact on physical health (including fatigue), financial impact (including loss of earnings and travel costs), and psychosocial impact (including disruption to school, work and emotional burden). Overall data highlight the importance of flexible care, which meets individual needs throughout patients’/carers’ journeys. Specifically, study participants suggested that the impacts may be addressed by: having support from a professional to coordinate care, changing the approach of clinics and appointments (where they take place, which professionals/services are available and how they are scheduled), and improving communication through the use of technology, care plans, accessible points of contact and multi-disciplinary team working. Conclusion: This study provides further evidence of impacts of uncoordinated care; these may be complex and influenced by a number of factors. Approaches to coordination which improve access to care and lessen the time and burden placed on patients and carers may be particularly beneficial. Findings should influence future service developments (and the evaluation of such developments). This will be achieved, in the first instance, by informing the CONCORD Study in the UK.
title: INTERNET DELIVERY MECHANISMS FOR THE CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE MARINE ENGINEER

description: Recent advances in communications technologies enable access to the Internet from anywhere in the world. This has generated interest, demand and research into methods of using and enhancing this technology to deliver Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This research examines issues relevant to the electronic delivery of professional updating to marine engineers in a pro-active manner locating the learner at the centre of the CPD process. Educational theories including experiential learning, andragogy, constructivism and Laurillard's conversational framework are investigated and the importance of learning styles in the design of material based on user needs is examined. A needs analysis of 1117 marine engineers revealed which subjects were in most demand for CPD and showed that individuals have different learning requirements. An accompanying survey of learning styles showed the respondents to be strong reflector/theorists but indicated that learning designed to be effective for all styles would be most appropriate. The conclusions drawn from the review of CPD, Internet and educational theory were combined with the results of the survey to derive the principles necessary for the creation of an innovative approach to online learning. The outcome was the synthesis, development and construction of the Marine Engineers' Managed Environment for Learning (MEMEL); an Internet based learning environment for the delivery of CPD to marine engineers. MEMEL has the ability to deliver online learning to a variety of learners on a range of subjects. As the evaluation of managed environments for learning is a comparatively new undertaking it was necessary to develop a novel framework specifically for the purpose. The evaluation indicated that MEMEL is a valid vehicle for the delivery of online learning. Two areas that have been specifically identified for further research are the use of electronic media to facilitate the process of reflection and enhancing access for users with a disability.

description: A new type of carbazole-based blue-emitting dendritic conjugated polymer, poly[(9,9-dioctyl)-2,7-fluorene-co-4,4’,4”-triphenylamine-co-9-(4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)butyl)-3,6-carbazole](P), was successfully synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction. Chemical structures of monomers and polymer were verified by FI-IR and 1HNMR characterizations. We found that polymer showed a special selectivity and high sensitivity for I−. With the addition of I−, the fluorescent polymer solution was obviously quenched. The polymer showed a special detection effect on I−. However, the fluorescent polymer was obviously restored when Hg2+ was added to the P/I− system due to the large complexation between I− and Hg2+. The anti-interference experiments of probe P/I− showed that other background cations have a slight influence on detecting Hg2+, and the calculated detection limit of Hg2+ reached 9.7 × 10−8 M, which could be a potential application for a two-channel cyclic detection of I− and Hg2+. Additionally, it was found that the theoretical values were in agreement with the experimental data.

description: We demonstrate quantum computation of two-point correlation functions for a Heisenberg spin chain. Using the IBM Q 20 quantum machines, we find that for two sites the correlation functions produce the exact results reliably. For four sites, results from the IBM Q 20 Tokyo quantum computer are noisy due to read out errors and decoherence. Nevertheless, the correlation functions retain the correct spectral information. This is illustrated in the frequency domain by accurately extracting the magnon energies from peaks in the spectral function.
