The ‘‘Tremor Diary’’: A Useful Tool in the Management of Patients with Tremor

description: When caring for patients with essential tremor (ET) and other action tremors in the outpatient setting, a challenge for the clinician is to assess interval changes in tremor severity, particularly if such changes are subtle. Patients are often asked to report whether their tremor has worsened between visits or whether they have experienced an improvement in the setting of a therapeutic challenge with a new medication or an increase in dosage of an existing medication. Conversely, patients may be asked to report whether their tremor has worsened in the setting of a reduction in dosage. In these various settings, patients often have difficulty assessing whether their tremor has changed or improved, and this is made more challenging by the presence of normal day-to-day fluctuations in tremor severity that patients often experience. The patient’s level of anxiety or mood may further affect their ability to objectively assess the severity of their tremor. The tremor on the day of their clinical visit may be influenced by their psychological state or level of fatigue, confounding the neurological examination. In addition, “white coat syndrome” might influence the amount of tremor observed in the office.

For several years, one of us (E.D.L.) has used a simple clinical aid to help assess response to medication change. To our knowledge, this method has not been published elsewhere. The goal of this brief report is to share this method with the larger community of movement disorder neurologists and discuss its benefits.

description: This research had been focusing to develop a large format UV photon counting detector which matches the requirements of next-generation space telescopes, such as the proposed Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor. The LinoSPAD, SAMPIC, and TOFPET electronic fast timing readout device performances were investigated. They were operated in multi-channel mode of measurement. The APD detector was used to detect the illuminating light source for LinoSPAD and TOFPET. SAMPIC and TOFPET were tested with an MCP detector using a pixelated readout device. The three very fast timing electronic multichannel readout devices with two detectors, were tested and analysed in the experimental work. The accuracy of their energy and timing characteristics such as energy in ADC units, signal amplitude, time resolution and time-over-threshold, was measured to see if they provide accurate charge measurement necessary for high spatial resolution with the MCP detector. The various centroiding techniques were used to calculate the centre position of the charge cloud footprint. The measurement of energy, amplitude, and time-over-threshold performance of the SAMPIC and TOFPET was evaluated for sub-pixel centroiding to achieve high spatial resolution with the MCP. The signal's amplitude and time over threshold centroiding were successfully used to calculate the centre position of charge cloud footprint. All-pixels Gaussian fitting can be used to centroiding the charge cloud footprint with highly precision, but lower accuracy as the calculated positions have an offset from the actual position. The 3-cross Gaussian, Parabola, and Lorentzian fitting appear more suitable to centroiding a charge cloud footprint with some acceptable linear distortion.

description: The coupled-channel theory is a natural way of treating nonelastic channels, in particular those arising from collective excitations, defined by nuclear deformations. Proper treatment of such excitations is often essential to the accurate description of reaction experimental data. Previous works have applied different models to specific nuclei with the purpose of determining angular-integrated cross sections. In this work, we present an extensive study of the effects of collective couplings and nuclear deformations on integrated cross sections as well as on angular distributions in a consistent manner for neutron-induced reactions on nuclei in the rare-earth region. This specific subset of the nuclide chart was chosen precisely because of a clear static deformation pattern. We analyze the convergence of the coupled-channel calculations regarding the number of states being explicitly coupled. Inspired by the work done by Dietrich \emph{et al.}, a model for deforming the spherical Koning-Delaroche optical potential as function of quadrupole and hexadecupole deformations is also proposed. We demonstrate that the obtained results of calculations for total, elastic and inelastic cross sections, as well as elastic and inelastic angular distributions correspond to a remarkably good agreement with experimental data for scattering energies above around a few MeV.

description: The metabolites of the mycobiont culture of the lichen Trypethelium eluteriae were isolated by column chromatography and preparative TLC. Nine compounds (1–9) including two new trypethelones, 8-methoxytrypethelone (6) and 5′-hydroxy-8-ethoxytrypethelone (9), together with four known trypethelones (3–4, 7–8), and two known phenalenones (1–2) were characterized. It is the first report of 8-methoxytrypethelone methyl ether (5) purification as a racemic mixture in T. eluteriae. Earlier, 7-hydroxyl-8-methoxyltrypethelone (10) was reported as new compound with erroneous spectroscopic data. This compound was identified later as 8-hydroxytrypethelone methyl ether (4). X-ray crystallographic structures of compounds 5–7 were elucidated for the first time. Phenalenones (1–2) and trypethelones (5–6 and 9) were the additional compounds discovered in the cultured mycobiont of T. eluteriae. Six compounds (1–2, 5–8) were screened against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and two compounds (7–8) against non-tuberculosis mycobacteria and other human pathogenic bacteria. Compound (7) inhibited M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain with an MIC of 12.5 µg/mL.

description: We prove that the kernels of the restrictions of symplectic Dirac or symplectic Dirac-Dolbeault operators on natural subspaces of polynomial valued spinor fields are finite dimensional on a compact symplectic manifold. We compute those kernels for the complex projective spaces. We construct injections of subgroups of the symplectic group (the pseudo-unitary group and the stabilizer of a Lagrangian subspace) in the group Mpc and classify G-invariant Mpc-structures on symplectic spaces with a G-action. We prove a variant of Parthasarathy's formula for the commutator of two symplectic Dirac-type operators on a symmetric symplectic space.

description: I am a strong advocate for women’s rights and proud to be involved in the anti-rape movement. (The fact that there even needs to be a movement against rape is pretty shocking when you think about it.) To be honest it’s not like there is a pro-rape party out there, rather to me, the anti-rape movement is more about raising awareness of a pernicious suite of ideas and cultural norms which propagate permissive or enabling attitudes towards rape.  So rather than having a group advocating for rape which we oppose, we stand against actions which facilitate sexual violence.

The fingerprint chromatogram was determined using HPLC-DAD. The NPpE Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), as well as that of antimicrobial drugs in the presence and absence of the extract, were evaluated using the microdilution method against Gram positive bacteria. In vivo assays with mice were used for the determination of the extract’s genotoxicity and cytotoxicity. The presence of the polyphenol catechin was confirmed in the extract. The extract showed significant antimicrobial activity (MIC ≤ 1000 µg mL−1) against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus oralis and S. mutans. When the NPpE was associated with several antimicrobials, the MIC of most of these were significantly reduced (P

description: We report on the dynamic and structural characterization of lithium metasilicate $Li_2SiO_3$, a network forming ionic glass, by means of molecular dynamics simulations. The system is characterized by a network of $SiO_4$ tetrahedra disrupted by $Li$ ions which diffuse through the network. Measures of mean square displacement of $Si$ and $O$ atoms allow us to identify a temperature at which tetrahedra stop moving relative to each other. This temperature $T_c\approx 1500\,K$ can be characterized within the framework of mode coupling theory. At a much lower temperature $T_g\approx 1000\,K$, a change in the slope of the volume versus temperature data allows to single out the glass transition. We find signatures of both transitions in structural order parameters, related to the orientation of tetrahedra. Going down in temperature we find that, around the mode coupling transition temperature, a set of order parameters which measure the relative orientation of tetrahedra cease to increase and stay constant below $T_c$. Another well known measure of orientational order, the bond orientational order parameter, which in the studied system measures local order within single tetrahedrons, is found to continue growing below $T_c$ until $T_g$, below which it remains constant. Our results allow to relate two characteristic dynamic transitions with corresponding structural transitions, as observed in two different orientational order parameters. Furthermore, the results indicate that the network of thetrahedra continue to relax well below the point where neighboring tetrahedra cannot rearrange relative to each other, and the glass is reached only upon a process of relaxation of atoms which form the thetrahedron, as quantified by the change in the bond orientational order parameters.

description: Социальная политика в любой стране является неотъемлемой частью государственного управления. Важнейшие задачи социальной политики Российской Федерации — социальная защита граждан, обеспечение помощи нуждающимся. Одними из тех, кто относится к категории «нуждающиеся», являются лица из числа детей-сирот и детей, оставшихся без попечения родителей. В данной работе описывается опыт регионов СЗФО в области обеспечения жильем детей-сирот и детей, оставшихся без попечения родителей. Проведенное эмпирическое исследование позволило выявить основные проблемы в реализации социальных мер по обеспечению жильем детей-сирот (на примере Санкт-Петербурга). Также была проанализирована система введения жилищных сертификатов в Калининградской области, в которой такая практика обеспечения жильем уже функционирует в качестве пилотного проекта. Анализ данных подтвердил необходимость в изменении существующей современной системы обеспечения жильем лиц детей-сирот и детей, оставшихся без попечения родителей в российских регионах.
Accountability without democracy: lessons from african famines in the 1980s

Subjects: Democracy

Famines--Prevention

description: Development economist and Nobel laureate Amartya Sen argues that democracies, by virtue of mechanisms of accountability, are better able to avert famines than non-democratic regimes. Using empirical evidence from colonial and independent India, Sen argues for the existence of an anti-famine political contract, between the government and its supporters, predicated on the prevention of famine. Building on this theory, Sen later tested his argument using cases in Africa. While Sen’s theory accurately predicts the outcomes, the causal mechanism he uses to explain each variation is falsifiable. In studying the experiences of each African country that succumbed to famine in the 1980s, I find that a free press and competitive elections are neither necessary nor sufficient conditions for a country to avert famine. The results presented in this paper question the presence and role of other causes contributory to famine prevention efforts, as well as the possibility of anti-famine commitments within less-than-democratic polities.

It particularly closes several gaps in the previously known results for the case p=\infty and addresses the open questions raised in a paper by Chandler-Wilde and Lindner. The main tools are provided by the limit operator method and an algebraic framework for the description and adaption of Fredholmness and convergence. A comprehensive overview of this approach is given.

description: We report an unusual set of observations of waves in a large prominence pillar which consist of pulses propagating perpendicular to the prominence magnetic field. We observe a huge quiescent prominence with the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) in EUV on 2012 October 10 and only a part of it, the pillar, which is a foot or barb of the prominence, with the Hinode Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) (in Ca II and Hαlines), Sac Peak (in Hα, Hβ and Na-D lines), THEMIS ("Télescope Héliographique pour l' Etude du Magnétisme et des Instabilités Solaires") with the MTR (MulTi-Raies) spectropolarimeter (in He D_3 line). The THEMIS/MTR data indicates that the magnetic field in the pillar is essentially horizontal and the observations in the optical domain show a large number of horizontally aligned features on a much smaller scale than the pillar as a whole. The data is consistent with a model of cool prominence plasma trapped in the dips of horizontal field lines. The SOT and Sac Peak data over the 4 hour observing period show vertical oscillations appearing as wave pulses. These pulses, which include a Doppler signature, move vertically, perpendicular to the field direction, along thin quasi-vertical columns in the much broader pillar. The pulses have a velocity of propagation of about 10 km/s, a period about 300 sec, and a wavelength around 2000 km. We interpret these waves in terms of fast magneto-sonic waves and discuss possible wave drivers.

Generalized Penner model and the Gaussian beta ensemble

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, a new expression for the partition function of the generalized Penner model given by Goulden, Harer and Jackson is derived. The Penner and the orthogonal Penner partition functions are special cases of this formula. The parametrized Euler characteristic $ξ^s_g(γ)$ deduced from our expression of the partition function is shown to exhibit a contribution from the orbifold Euler characteristic of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus $g$, with $s$ punctures, for all parameters $γ$ and $g$ odd. The other contributions for $g$ even are linear combinations of the Bernoulli polynomials at rational arguments. It turns out that the free energy coefficients of the generalized Penner model in the continuum limit, are identical to those coefficients in the large $N$ expansion of the Gaussian $β$-ensemble. Moreover, the duality enjoyed by the generalized Penner model, is also the duality symmetry of the Gaussian $β$-ensemble. Finally, a shift in the 't Hooft coupling constant required by the refined topological string, would leave the Gaussian $β$-ensemble duality intact. This duality is identified with the remarkable duality of the $c=1$ string at radius $R=β$.

description: Superconducting whisker like and bulk single crystals of PrFeAs(O,F) were grown at 3 GPa and 1500 C from NaAs flux using the cubic anvil high pressure and high temperature technique. The ribbon shaped whisker like crystals were 400-1300 micrometers in length, 40-70 micrometers in width, and 5-10 micrometers in thickness with the long sharp edge in the ab plane and the c axis perpendicular to the face. The grown bulk crystals were found to have irregular plate like shapes with linear sizes up to 1 mm and 120 micrometers in thickness. The both type of single crystalline objects are crystallized in the same tetragonal structure and showed a single phase behavior in the temperature dependence of magnetization with a superconducting transition temperature of about 31 K. The presence of temperature gradient and reactive flux seems to play an important role for the growth of single crystalline whiskers and bulk single crystals of PrFeAs(O,F). These observations demonstrate that the morphological properties of the crystals are depending not only on the symmetry of the crystal structure of the desired material, but also of the growth medium.

Here, we present a Wigner function representation of first order electronic coherence and show that is provides a natural visualization of the excitations emitted by recently demonstrated single electron sources. It also gives a unified perspective on single particle and two particle interferometry experiments. In particular, we introduce a non-classicality criterion for single electron coherence and discuss it in the context of Mach-Zenhder interferometry. Finally, the electronic Hanbury Brown and Twiss and the Hong Ou Mandel experiments are interpreted in terms of overlaps of Wigner function thus connecting them to signal processing.

description: The eager listener described above is none other than Immanuel Kant, affectionately
chronicled by philosopher and theologian Ehregott Wasianski.
This colorful description of Kant's fascination with loud military music is
suggestive on many levels. Most obviously, it tells us something of his listening
habits, inviting us to smile at the great metaphysician's somewhat
unsophisticated musical taste. We could use Wasianski's sketch to begin
deconstructing Kant's own musical upbringing and shed light on the infamously
negative valuation of music in his third Critique. This passage, however,
also encourages us to consider the surrounding context and examine
what Wasianski implies about contemporary musical aesthetics. First, he
distinguishes between an intellectual mode of listening-the kind that appreciates
daring modulations and the nuances of Haydn's compositional
style-and a more immediate mode that takes pleasure in the sheer noise
generated by military music. Second, Wasianski makes casual reference to a
"bogenflugel;' one with various stops. Given the variety of musical instruments
invented during the eighteenth century, and the fact that so many of
them are lost to us, we might ask exactly what he used to entertain Kant and
von Hippel in 1795. Last, we can examine what it means for Wasianski simply
to be able describe an instrument as imitating an orchestra, confident
that his readership would know what he means.

description: Mass models of 15 nearby dwarf and spiral galaxies are presented. The galaxies are selected to be homogeneous in terms of the method used to determine their distances, the sampling of their rotation curves (RCs) and the mass-to-light ratio (M/L) of their stellar contributions, which will minimize the uncertainties on the mass model results. Those RCs are modeled using the MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) prescription and the observationally motivated pseudo-isothermal (ISO) dark matter (DM) halo density distribution. For the MOND models with fixed (M/L), better fits are obtained when the constant a$_{0}$ is allowed to vary, giving a mean value of (1.13 $\pm$ 0.50) $\times$ 10$^{-8}$ cm s$^{-2}$, compared to the standard value of 1.21 $\times$ 10$^{-8}$ cm s$^{-2}$. Even with a$_{0}$ as a free parameter, MOND provides acceptable fits (reduced $χ^{2}_{r}$ $

The technological metamorphosis of the monstrous mother

description: Contemporary renditions of the conceptualisation of the monstrous mother have embraced society’s penchant for technology to suit micro and macrocosms. While she still embraces the varying elements of her traditional narrative, including a fear of the ‘other’ and the abjectification of female sexuality and autonomy, her form has shifted. Her status as a creature existing within the bounds and restrictions of the liminal that had initially morphed into a flesh and blood creature, have now morphed into a mixture of flesh and machine. This protean nature has enabled her to violate the sacred boundaries of the body and have granted her a new propensity for monstrous action – one which she gladly uses. This thesis examines the manifestation of the monstrous mother’s technological form in The 100 to reveal the impact she has upon the society she inhabits and the individuals with whom she comes into contact. Focussing on the three stages of her development, this thesis will analyse her monstrous representation to highlight the way the technologically constructed monstrous mother both fosters and creates monstrosity through her own agency and the impact this monstrosity has on the psychological development of those around her.

description: The high-strength boron steel 22MnB5 steel is widely used for automotive lightweight constructions. A novel approach is promising to tailor strength and ductility in the hardened condition using locally pre-tempered sheets for the hot stamping process. It results in the formation of locally soft spots where mechanical joining is subsequently intended. A slow pre-cooling of the later joining zones with cooling rates below a certain critical cooling rate for obtaining a decreased strength in these regions is required. A tubular air cooling system suited for this task is presented and tested in a process where the subsequent quenching of the overall sheet is realized by rapid cooling in a water bath. Varying the air pressure and cooling duration allows controlling the size of the softened local spot in a wide range and still obtaining a bainitic microstructure. Using two-stage cooling with point jet nozzles and a subsequent hot stamping process with water-cooled dies resulted in a main sheet hardness of about 470 HV5 and of 260 HV5 in the pre-cooled spots, respectively.

description: Background: Essential tremor is a common movement disorder with a strong heritable component. Large families with inherited forms of essential tremor have undergone genetic analyses by different approaches. However, our knowledge of genetic variants unequivocally linked to essential tremor is remarkably limited. Several explanations have been put forth to explain this challenge, including the possibility of mutations in non-coding areas of the genome.

Methods: We encountered a family with highly penetrant, autosomal dominant tremor. We hypothesized that, if a single coding gene mutation was responsible for the phenotype, novel genetic tools would allow us to identify it. We employed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays in 17 members of this family followed by next generation whole-exome sequencing in five affected subjects.

Results: We did not identify any copy number variant or mutation that segregated with the disease phenotype.

Discussion: This study emphasizes the remarkably challenging field of tremor genetics and indicates that future studies should perhaps shift to analysis of the non-coding genome.

description: In the present work, 16 different plant drugs used by traditional healers from West Bengal were screened through in vitro cell line model. Herbal drugs used by traditional tribal healers in Purulia, Birbhum and Bankura districts of West Bengal were collected and screening against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line (HL-60). Among 16 plant extracts, bark of Flacourtia indica (66.67%), leaf of Madhuca longifolia (69.17%), and leaf of Prosopis cineraria (68.08%) showed better cytotoxicity results than other herbals. Further, time-dependent study showed maximum cytotoxicity of the selected herbal extracts between 36 and 48 hours of treatment in both acute and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines (HL-60 and K562). The LC-MS/MS analysis of the selected drugs revealed the presence of picrotoxinin and 10-deacetylbaccatin from F. indica, isoorientin and hirsutrin from M. longifolia, vitexin and rhoifolin in P. cineraria.

description: Здравоохранение в СССР активно развивалось примерно с конца 1920-х годов и до начала 1970-х, когда, с одной стороны, сильно возросли требования, стандарты, потребности в «услугах» системы здравоохранения, а с другой — была допущена инерционная модель развития не интенсивного, как в развитых странах, а экстенсивного — наращивания чисто количественных показателей отрасли, с опасным ослаблением внимания к профилактическим задачам, диспансеризации, санпросвету и т. д. В статье описываются особенности организации здравоохранения в СССР в 1960–1980-х годов на основе статистических данных и специальной литературы 1957–2018 годов по истории медицины и организации здравоохранения.

description: The generation of two non-identical membrane compartments via exchange of vesicles is considered to require two types of vesicles specified by distinct cytosolic coats that selectively recruit cargo and two membrane-bound SNARE pairs that specify fusion and differ in their affinities for each type of vesicles. The mammalian Golgi complex is composed of 6-8 non-identical cisternae that undergo gradual maturation and replacement yet features only two SNARE pairs. We present a model that explains how the distinct composition of Golgi cisternae can be generated with two and even a single SNARE pair and one vesicle coat. A decay of active SNARE concentration in aging cisternae provides the seed for a cis > trans SNARE gradient that generates the predominantly retrograde vesicle flux which further enhances the gradient. This flux in turn yields the observed inhomogeneous steady-state distribution of Golgi enzymes, which compete with each other and with the SNAREs for incorporation into transport vesicles. We show analytically that the steady state SNARE concentration decays exponentially with the cisterna number. Numerical solutions of rate equations reproduce the experimentally observed SNARE gradients, overlapping enzyme peaks in cis, medial and trans and the reported change in vesicle nature across Golgi: Vesicles originating from younger cisternae mostly contain Golgi enzymes and SNAREs enriched in these cisternae and extensively recycle through the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), while the other subpopulation of vesicles contains Golgi proteins prevalent in older cisternae and hardly reaches the ER.

description: Free association is a task that requires a subject to express the first word to come to their mind when presented with a certain cue. It is a task which can be used to expose the basic mechanisms by which humans connect memories. In this work we have made use of a publicly available database of free associations to model the exploration of the averaged network of associations using a statistical and the \emph{ACT-R} model. We performed, in addition, an online experiment asking participants to navigate the averaged network using their individual preferences for word associations. We have investigated the statistics of word repetitions in this guided association task. We find that the considered models mimic some of the statistical properties, viz the probability of word repetitions, the distance between repetitions and the distribution of association chain lengths, of the experiment, with the \emph{ACT-R} model showing a particularly good fit to the experimental data for the more intricate properties as, for instance, the ratio of repetitions per length of association chains.

description: We study the transport behavior induced by a small bias voltage through a quantum dot connected to one-channel finite-size wires. We describe the quantum dot by the Hubbard-Kondo which is solved by means of a quantum Monte Carlo method. We investigate the effect of a magnetic field applied at the quantum dot in the Kondo regime. We identify changes in the behavior of mesoscopic oscillations introduced by the magnetic field that have an analogous behavior to those observed as a function of the temperature.

description: Observational data for type Ia supernovae, shows that the expansion of the universe is accelerated. This accelerated expansion can be described by a cosmological constant or by dark energy models like quintessence. An interesting question may be raised here. Is it possible to describe the accelerated expansion of universe using varying--$G$ cosmological models? Here we shall show that the price for having accelerated expansion in slow--varying--$G$ models (in which the dynamical terms of $G$ are ignored) is to have highly non--conserved matter and also that it is in contradiction with other data.

description: In this study, the chemical composition, genotoxic, cytotoxic and antibacterial-modulating activities of the P. pyramidalis (NPpE) extract was evaluated. The fingerprint chromatogram was determined using HPLC-DAD. The NPpE Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), as well as that of antimicrobial drugs in the presence and absence of the extract, were evaluated using the microdilution method against Gram positive bacteria. In vivo assays with mice were used for the determination of the extract’s genotoxicity and cytotoxicity. The presence of the polyphenol catechin was confirmed in the extract. The extract showed significant antimicrobial activity (MIC ≤ 1000 µg mL−1) against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus oralis and S. mutans. When the NPpE was associated with several antimicrobials, the MIC of most of these were significantly reduced (P

description: We build a sample of 298 spectroscopically-confirmed galaxies at redshift z~2, selected in the z-band from the GOODS-MUSIC catalog. By exploiting the rest frame 8 um luminosity as a proxy of the star formation rate (SFR) we check the accuracy of the standard SED-fitting technique, finding it is not accurate enough to provide reliable estimates of the galaxy physical parameters. We then develop a new SED-fitting method that includes the IR luminosity as a prior and a generalized Calzetti law with a variable RV . Then we exploit such a new method to re-analyze our galaxy sample, and to robustly determine SFRs, stellar masses and ages. We find that there is a general trend of increasing attenuation with the SFR. Moreover, we find that the SFRs range between a few to 1000 solar mass per year, the masses from one billion to 400 billion solar masses, while the ages from a few tens of Myr to more than 1 Gyr. We discuss how individual age easurements of highly attenuated objects indicate that dust must form within a few tens of Myr and be copious already at ~100 Myr. In addition, we find that low luminous galaxies harbor, on average, significantly older stellar populations and are also less massive than brighter ones; we discuss how these findings and the well known 'downsizing' scenario are consistent in a framework where less massive galaxies form first, but their star formation lasts longer. Finally, we find that the near-IR attenuation is not scarce for luminous objects, contrary to what is customarily assumed; we discuss how this affects the interpretation of the observed mass-to-light ratios.

description: In this paper we prove that a pure, regular, totally odd, polarizable weakly compatible system of $l$-adic representations is potentially automorphic. The innovation is that we make no irreducibility assumption, but we make a purity assumption instead. For compatible systems coming from geometry, purity is often easier to check than irreducibility. We use Katz's theory of rigid local systems to construct many examples of motives to which our theorem applies. We also show that if $F$ is a CM or totally real field and if $π$ is a polarizable, regular algebraic, cuspidal automorphic representation of $GL_n(\A_F)$, then for a positive Dirichlet density set of rational primes $l$, the $l$-adic representations $r_{l,\imath}(π)$ associated to $π$ are irreducible.
