description: We report a detailed study of the stationary points (zero-force points) of the potential energy surface (PES) of a model structural glassformer. We compare stationary points found with two different algorithms (eigenvector following and square gradient minimization), and show that the mapping between instantaneous configuration and stationary points defined by those algorithms is as different as to strongly influence the instability index K vs. temperature plot, which relevance in analyzing the liquid dynamics is thus questioned. On the other hand, the plot of K vs. energy is much less sensitive to the algorithm employed, showing that the energy is the good variable to discuss geometric properties of the PES. We find new evidence of a geometric transition between a minima-dominated phase and a saddle-point-dominated one. We analyze the distances between instantaneous configurations and stationary points, and find that above the glass transition, the system is closer to saddle points than to minima.

VARIETIES OF CAPITALIST AGRICULTURE – a meso variation of a macro approach

description: The socioeconomic discourse on varieties of capitalism has revealed remarkable insights into prevailing macroeconomic patterns. This paper transforms this macro approach and uses the agricultural sector to test its applicability for the sectoral (meso) level. Agricultural policy indicators, environmental variables, average farm size, self-sufficiency and per capita food expenditures are used to cluster developed countries. Three groups emerge: one group consists of active exporters with large farms and low, if any, subsidies and a high level of emissions per output, while another group combines a high level of public support and high food expenditure with low self-sufficiency and good environmental performance. As the third group is mostly situated in between the other two, we conclude that the varieties of capitalist agriculture are largely placed on a one-dimensional scale.

description: We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2000ch, an unusual and extremely luminous variable star located in the galaxy NGC 3432. The object was discovered on 2000 May 3.2 during the course of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search, at an unfiltered magnitude of about 17.4. Pre-discovery images obtained in 1997, 1998, and 2000 April show the object with R = 19.2-19.5 mag. Optical spectra obtained beginning on 2000 May 6 show a smooth, flat continuum and strong, broad hydrogen Balmer emission lines at wavelengths consistent with the catalogued redshift of NGC 3432, strengthening the association of the variable with the galaxy. Photometric monitoring reveals a complex and erratic light curve over a time span of ~10 days. Subsequent optical spectra over the next ~3 months continued to show strong Balmer emission lines with a mean full-width at half-maximum intensity ~1550 km/s and a distinct red asymmetry. A spectrum obtained 9 months after the outburst is similar to the previous spectra, but the integrated flux in H-alpha is nearly half that observed during the outburst. The object's photometric behavior, spectrum, and luminosity suggest that it is a very massive and luminous variable star and might be related to some luminous blue variable stars such as eta Carinae and SN 1997bs in NGC 3627. The brightest apparent magnitude implies an absolute magnitude of approximately -12.7 at the distance of NGC 3432, a value which is comparable to eta Carinae during its outburst in the mid-nineteenth century.

description: Auf regionaler Ebene fehlen Informationen über das Preisniveau. Das Fehlen wird zunehmend kritisiert. Die Kritik erwächst daraus, dass regionale Unterschiede im Preisniveau bestehen, die nicht unerheblich sind. Existiert kein regionaler Preisindex, können nur die Fragen beantwortet werden, die eine reale Betrachtung nicht voraussetzen. Daraus folgt zum Beispiel, dass die Beantwortung der Frage nach der Einheitlichkeit der Lebensverhältnisse im Bundesgebiet erschwert wird. Mit dem vorliegenden Beitrag soll eine Idee zur Diskussion um die Konzeption und Machbarkeit regionaler Preisindizes beigesteuert werden. Zur Verwirklichung der Idee auf eine kostengünstige und zeitsparende Weise wird das Konzept des Big-Mac-Indexes aufgegriffen und regionalisiert. Als Referenzindex dient der regionale Preisindex des BUNDESAMTS FÜR BAUWESEN UND RAUMORDNUNG (2009), der mit hohen Kosten und langen Zeiten der Datenerhebung einhergeht. Der regionalisierte Big-Mac-Index liefert ähnliche Informationen über das Preisniveau wie der Referenzindex, sofern die Wettbewerbssituationen in den Regionen berücksichtigt werden, sodass die Frage nach der Einheitlichkeit der Lebensverhältnisse im Bundesgebiet auch wiederkehrend kostengünstig und zeitsparend beantwortet werden kann

description: We make some remarks on possible definition of open string path integral in the presence of additional boundary couplings corresponding to the presence of masses at the ends of the string. These couplings are not conformally invariant implying that as in a non-critical string case one is to integrate over the 1d metric or reparametrizations of the boundary. We compute the partition function on the disc in the presence of an additional constant gauge field background and comment on the structure of the corresponding scattering amplitudes.

description: Addressing the situation of academic disciplines in higher education is one of the most important prerequisites for the systematic development of higher education in any country. In today's advanced Iran, we need to consider the inputs and outputs of academic disciplines in our higher education system in development so that we can achieve worthy results in these fields and use them for human and organizational work. In the realm of all disciplines, more attention is given to the humanities and social sciences because they focus on human action. One of the newly established humanities disciplines that has a short life is women's studies. Thirteen years after the establishment of women's studies in Iran, it is of particular importance to shed light on the status, quality and history of this discipline. However, since the beginning of the establishment of this field, there have been ups and downs that well represent the separation of women's issues and the real context and question the scientific validity of this academic discipline in Iran. However, only a few years after the establishment of this discipline, several changes in the academic and cultural atmosphere in Iran have separated the discipline of women's studies from its primary goals and ex-topics in practice, changing it and making it a merely one-dimensional approach. The changes in the last decade have made women's studies lack the sociological-pathological approach and multidisciplinary approach and focus only on the legal dimension of the seminar. In this article, I will try to provide a critical approach in the form of lived experience and the report center method to the historical development of women's studies in Iran and then present its problems and hypothetical solutions to promote this discipline in Iran.
Loop-gas description of the localized-magnon states on the kagome lattice with open boundary conditions

description: The high-field regime of the spin-s XXZ antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice gives rise to macroscopically degenerate ground states thanks to a completely flat lowest single-magnon band. The corresponding excitations can be localized on loops in real space and have been coined "localized magnons". Thus, the description of the many-body ground states amounts to characterizing the allowed classical loop configurations and eliminating the quantum mechanical linear relations between them. Here, we investigate this loop-gas description on finite kagome lattices with open boundary conditions and compare the results with exact diagonalization for the spin-1/2 XY model on the same lattice. We find that the loop gas provides an exact account of the degenerate ground-state manifold while a hard-hexagon description misses contributions from nested loop configurations. The densest packing of the loops corresponds to a magnon crystal that according to the zero-temperature magnetization curve is a stable ground state of the spin-1/2 XY model in a window of magnetic fields of about 4% of the saturation field just below this saturation field. We also present numerical results for the specific heat obtained by the related methods of thermal pure quantum (TPQ) states and the finite-temperature Lanczos method (FTLM). For a field in the stability range of the magnon crystal, one finds a low-temperature maximum of the specific heat that corresponds to a finite-temperature phase transition into the magnon crystal at low temperatures.

description: Detuned systems can spontaneously achieve a synchronous dynamics and display robust quantum correlations in different local and global dissipation regimes. Beyond the Markovian limit, information backflow from the environment becomes a crucial mechanism whose interplay with spontaneous synchronization is unknown. Considering a model of two coupled qubits, one of which interacts with a dissipative environment, we show that non-Markovianity is highly detrimental for the emergence of synchronization, for the latter can be delayed and hindered because of the presence of information backflow. The results are obtained considering both a master equation approach and a collision model based on repeated interactions, which represents a very versatile tool to tailor the desired kind of environment.

description: “Bodenrichtwerte” reflect the average location value of land plots within a specific area. They constitute an important source of information that contributes to price transparency on land markets. In Germany, “Bodenrichtwerte” are provided by publicly appointed expert groups (Gutachterausschüsse). Using empirical data from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania between 2013 and 2015, this article examines the relation between “Bodenrichtwerten” and statistically determined location values. It turns out that “Bodenrichtwerte” tend to underestimate location values of arable land by 11.5 percent on average. This underestimation can be traced back to the pronounced increase of land prices in the observation period. As an alternative to the expert-based determination of location values, we suggest a nonparametric smoothing procedure that rests on the Propagation-Separation Approach. The application of this data-driven procedure achieves an accuracy comparable to that of official “Bodenrichtwerte” at the one-year ahead prediction of location values without the requirement of expert knowledge.

description: We provide a sensitivity analysis of a 1% increase of intermediate input use of forestry biomass in all sectors of the EU28 in a global Computable General Equilibrium framework depicting land use by Agro-Ecological Zone combined with a rather high resolution with regard to sectors and regions. We find considerable indirect land use effects outside the EU28 despite the rather small shock which reflects the existing integration of global biomass markets. We conclude that policies promoting EU biomass use need to consider these indirect effects which offset, for instance, first order GHG savings from a substitution of fossil inputs by biomass.

description: With the urgency that calls for immediate actions regarding our current political and social climates, specifically concerning women's rights in the Middle East, this research takes a closer look into the fundamental values of systems. It aims to identify the occasions in which individuals are experiencing displacement. Displacement of home (about Afghan women refugees), Displacement of letters (about the visual aspect of verbal communication), and Displacement of self (about the Women, Life, Freedom movement in Iran) comprise the main chapters in which I investigate the role and translation of experiential knowledge in this paper. This thesis investigates the methods by which experiential knowledge can be translated and transposed into the digital environment as a way of communication. Throughout this paper, the reader will find a collection of ‘stories’ emerging from research-creation, secondary research, research-through-design, and participatory reflections. Works of design and craft are curated to investigate and translate experiential knowledge through various methods of communication within the digital realm.

description: The education sector in Australia is in crisis, struggling to retain teachers in the profession, with dealing with challenging and complex behaviour a major concern for new teachers. Previous research has shown that Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) can assist teachers in managing complex and challenging behaviours in the classroom, however, FBA is not always employed or conducted effectively. This research employed a mixed methods approach through a pre- and post- survey to measure pre-service teachers’ perceived self-efficacy in managing complex behaviours. This was after participating in a third-year undergraduate course focusing on curriculum regarding functional behaviour and positive behaviour support. This new course was designed to offer multiple means of engagement and opportunity to develop self-efficacy in the course curriculum, including case studies, podcasts, activities, critical reflections, and role-plays, as a result of the recommendations from the recent Teacher Education Expert Panel Report (TEEP). Findings indicated that participants perceived self-efficacy were higher for managing complex and challenging behaviours in the classroom after undertaking this course. Implications for future practice are discussed.

description: We propose a curvature-based approach for choosing good values for the time-delay parameter $τ$ in delay reconstructions. The idea is based on the effects of the delay on the geometry of the reconstructions. If the delay is chosen too small, the reconstructed dynamics are flattened along the main diagonal of the embedding space; too-large delays, on the other hand, can overfold the dynamics. Calculating the curvature of a two-dimensional delay reconstruction is an effective way to identify these extremes and to find a middle ground between them: both the sharp reversals at the ends of an insufficiently unfolded reconstruction and the folds in an overfolded one create spikes in the curvature. We operationalize this observation by computing the mean over the Menger curvature of 2D reconstructions for different time delays. We show that the mean of these values gives an effective heuristic for choosing the time delay. In addition, we show that this curvature-based heuristic is useful even in cases where the customary approach, which uses average mutual information, fails --- e.g., noisy or filtered data.

description: Trotz stetigen Wachstums nimmt der Konsum von Bio-Lebensmittel gemessen am Gesamtumsatz von Lebensmitteln in Deutschland nur einen geringen Marktanteil ein. Andererseits wird in Umfragen regelmäßig festgestellt, dass viele Konsumenten eine hohe Konsumbereitschaft gegenüber Bio-Lebensmitteln anzeigen. Diese Befunde lassen sich auf eine Einstellungs-Verhaltens-Diskrepanz beim Konsum von Bio-Lebensmitteln zurückführen, wobei die Umfragen in der Regel einen „Social Desirability-Bias“ (SD-Bias) aufweisen. Neuere Verfahren der Einstellungsmessung versuchen den SD-Bias durch Messung der impliziten bzw. automatisierten Einstellungen zu umgehen. Das in der Literatur, und dort vor allem in der Sozialpsychologie wichtigste Verfahren ist der Implizite Assoziationstest (IAT). Dabei müssen Befragungspersonen am Computer eine größere Anzahl von Diskriminationsaufgaben bewältigen, mit dem Ziel, unbewusste Assoziationen durch Messung der jeweiligen Reaktionszeit zu erfassen. Der in dieser Studie in verschiedenen Städten in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern durchgeführte „Bio-IAT“ hat gezeigt, dass die Befragungspersonen keine negativen impliziten Einstellungen gegenüber Bio-Lebensmitteln aufweisen. Aufgrund weiterer Auswertungen, aber auch aufgrund möglicher Fehlerquellen, wie z.B. Salienzeffekte, sind die Ergebnisse differenziert zu betrachten.
Molecular phenotype of human CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells
Creators: name: Crellin, Natasha K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Suppression by T regulatory cells (Tregs) is a major mechanism by which the immune system controls responses to self and innocuous foreign proteins. Although there are many different types of Treg cells, the best characterized are those that constitutively express cellsurface IL-2 R (CD25). The aim of this research was to; increase understanding of the molecular phenotype of human CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs, and was addressed using 3 different approaches. I) Certain pathogens are known to be capable of modulating the function of CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs, but it was unclear i f this was via a direct or indirect mechanism. The expression of TLR5 on human CD4[sup +]T cells was studied, and it was observed that both CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] effectors and CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs express TLR5 at functionally significant levels. Further, the TLR5 ligand flagellin is a co-stimulatory molecule for CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] effector cells, and flagellin can increase the suppressive capacity of CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs in the absence o f antigen presenting cells. II) In an effort to understand the mechanism underlying the unique functional phenotype of CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs, including hypo-responsiveness to T cell receptor (TCR) mediated activation and lack o f cytokine production, TCR-mediated signaling in pure populations of ex vivo human CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs was investigated. A consistent defect in AKT activation in CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs was observed, which when reversed, abrogated CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Treg suppressive capacity. Ill) Clinical applications and experimental manipulations have been hampered by the lack of a unique cell surface marker for CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs that is not also an activation marker for CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] T effector cells. Microarray analysis on single cell-derived Treg and T effector clones was performed as an initial screen, followed by quantitative R T - PCR validation on polyclonal populations of human CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs. It was observed that human CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs specificallyexpress the membrane channel protein Aquaporin 9. In summary, the research described within is of considerable import to the study of human CD4[sup +]CD25[sup +] Tregs and their control of immune homeostasis, and represents a significant contribution to the field of immunology.

description: The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of our Galaxy hosts an extreme environment analogous to that found in typical starburst galaxies in the distant universe. In order to understand dust properties in environments like our CMZ, we present results from a joint SED analysis of our AzTEC/Large Millimeter Telescope survey, together with existing \textit{Herschel} far-IR data on the CMZ, from a wavelength range of $160$ $μm$ to $1.1$ $mm$. We include global foreground and background contributions in a novel Bayesian modeling that incorporates the Point Spread Functions (PSFs) of the different maps, which enables the full utilization of our high resolution ($10.5''$) map at 1.1 $mm$ and reveals unprecedentedly detailed information on the spatial distribution of dusty gas across the CMZ. There is a remarkable trend of increasing dust spectral index $β$, from $2.0-2.4$, toward dense peaks in the CMZ, indicating a deficiency of large grains or a fundamental change in dust optical properties. This environmental dependence of $β$ could have a significant impact on the determination of dust temperature in other studies. Depending on how the optical properties of dust deviate from the conventional model, dust temperatures could be underestimated by $10-50\%$ in particularly dense regions.

description: Enriching the social-mediated crisis communication model (SMCC) with the media theories of information repertoire and curation as well as the literature of risk communication, this study examines the antecedents, processes, and protective outcomes of disaster communication in the form of information gathering and sharing across countries. Analysis of online survey data collected in the United States and China shows that while Americans and Chinese exhibit similar patterns in using repertoires for disaster information gathering, they differ in the repertoires used for sharing disaster information. Moreover, different inter-repertoire patterns are manifested in disaster information gathering and sharing. Both countries also exhibit similarities and differences in terms of the association between the repertoires of disaster communication and protective action taking. Furthermore, the results show that subjective norms are the most consistent predictor of all types of repertoires of disaster information gathering across countries.

description: We discuss a 1D many-body model of distinguishable particles with local, momentum dependent two-body interactions. We show that the restriction of this model to fermions corresponds to the non-relativistic limit of the massive Thirring model. This fermion model can be solved exactly by a mapping to the 1D boson gas with inverse coupling constant. We provide evidence that this mapping is the non-relativistic limit of the duality between the massive Thirring model and the quantum sine-Gordon model. We also investigate the question if the generalization of this model to distinguishable particles is exactly solvable by the coordinate Bethe ansatz and find that this is not the case.

description: Los Grados Académicos y Títulos Profesionales son emitidos y otorgados por las Universidades en Diplomas físicos y/o digitales; sin embargo, con una tecnología cada vez más accesible, estos documentos son más vulnerables a falsificación o alteración, lo que complica validar de su legitimidad, y pone en riesgo la calidad de servicios prestados por falsos profesionales en actividades económicas, sociales, de salud y académicas. Las Universidades tienen la responsabilidad social de brindar confianza, y bajo un contexto de la pandemia Covid-19, que obliga a acelerar la transformación digital de diversos procesos, estudiamos los beneficios de aplicar la tecnología Blockchain, planteando un modelo para su Implementación, que aproveche las características de inmutabilidad, irrepudiabilidad y descentralización. Esta Investigación Exploratoria utiliza la revisión de literatura, entrevistas a especialistas en Blockchain y procesos de emisión de Grados y Títulos, experiencias alrededor del mundo y documentación publicada por istituciones que aplican Blockchain en sus procesos y considera un análisis multicriterio para definir la estructura del Modelo.
 Este estudio identifica como factor crítico de éxito que la SUNEDU esté involucrada mediante la emisión de normativas que habilites la implementación del mismo en las Universidades y permita el reconocimiento de los Diplomas electrónicos registrados mediante la Tecnología Blockchain.

REMARKS
 The galls of this species on Q. suber catkins were described by Kieffer (1901), probably after Tavares’ personal communication because it was named “ Plagiotrochus amenti Tav. ”. According to the Nomenclatural Code, the author of this species is Kieffer because in his work no mention of Tavares was indicated. Posteriorly, Tavares (1902) described this species (adults and galls) and he finished the “As Zoocecidias Portuguesas” study. Then, Plagiotrochus amenti Tavares was homonymic and synonymic with Plagiotrochus amenti Kieffer. Later, Tavares published redescriptions of the gall and the adults, and from here inexplicable changes in the year of description of this species ocured.
This European species has a circummediterranean distribution. It was collected in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Switzerland (Tavares 1902; Bailey & Stange 1966; Nieves-Aldrey 1985).
 The gall is undifferentiated on annual branches or is visible on catkins of Q. suber. The branch galls and the morphological characters of the sexual form are very similar to those of the asexual P. suberi leading us to suppose, like Nieves-Aldrey (1985), that these forms belong to the same species (Pujade-Villar & Ros-Farré 1998), even though no experimentation has yet demonstrated it.

description: Background: The pathophysiology of idiopathic frozen shoulder (FS) remains poorly described. There is a lack of differentiation between idiopathic and secondary cause. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the evidence regarding the pathophysiology of idiopathic FS on a molecular level and emphasize the clinical relevance. Methods: A database search of Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to April 2018 was performed. Participants who underwent previous injections or surgeries were excluded. A thorough selection and quality assessment process using the Cochrane Risk of Bias assessment tool and the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist was conducted by two reviewers independently. Results: A total of 15 studies analyzing 333 study subjects were included. Twelve studies evaluated capsular tissue and three studies investigated blood samples. The tissue samples revealed increased expression of various inflammatory cytokines including interleukins, cyclooxygenase and tumor necrosis factor. Several types of acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC1 and ASIC3) were associated with disturbed neurogenesis and melatonin-regulated pain mechanism. The blood samples showed prevalence of specific interleukin and metalloproteinase genotypes. A decreased matrix metalloproteinase/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase ratio was found both in tissue and blood. Conclusion: The findings indicate an abnormal local neurogenesis with possible regulation through melatonin. The disturbance in remodeling of the extracellular matrix and in collagen translation, together with a persistent inflammation and an impaired healing, all interact in the process that leads to persistent fibrosis. There is global fibroplasia with localized anterior capsule contracture.
Besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen nachhaltigerer Milcherzeugung und wirtschaftlicher Zufriedenheit der Betriebsleiter? Ergebnisse aus Schleswig-Holstein

description: Milcherzeuger in Deutschland, die in Zukunft weiterhin wettbewerbsfähig Milch produzieren wollen, müssen Nachhaltigkeitsanforderungen dauerhaft und umfassend implementieren und dokumentieren. Das Thema Nachhaltigkeit wird in der Praxis jedoch kontrovers diskutiert und ist unter den Betriebsleitern häufig negativ konnotiert, weil eine nachhaltige Wirtschaftsweise häufig in Verbindung mit erhöhten Kosten gebracht wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird der Zusammenhang zwischen Nachhaltigkeit und ökonomischem Erfolg auf Ebene von Milchviehbetrieben untersucht. Hierfür werden Daten der „Status-quo-Analyse ausgewählter Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte in der Milcherzeugung in Schleswig-Holstein“ für 172 Betriebe ausgewertet. Einzelbetriebliche Nachhaltigkeit wird dabei aus mehreren abgefragten Aspekten zu einem Index aggregiert. Neben Nachhaltigkeitsindikatoren aus den Bereichen Ökologie, Tierwohl, Soziales und Ökonomie enthält der Datensatz Aussagen der Landwirte zur Zufriedenheit mit der wirtschaftlichen Situation ihres Betriebes als ökonomischem Erfolgsindikator. Aufgrund der Endogenitätsproblematik wird das Analysemodell anhand eines Instrumentenvariablenansatzes geschätzt. Die Ergebnisse weisen einen signifikant positiven Einfluss der wirtschaftlichen Zufriedenheit auf die Höhe des Nachhaltigkeitsindexes auf. Ein höherer Nachhaltigkeitsindex wird somit tendenziell von wirtschaftlich zufriedeneren Betrieben erzielt. Weitere Einflussgrößen deuten auf den positiven Einfluss von Fortbildungsangeboten durch staatliche Stellen und Molkereien hin.

description: We present a large-scale survey of the central molecular zone (CMZ) of our Galaxy, as well as a monitoring program of Sgr A*, with the AzTEC/Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) in the 1.1 mm continuum. Our 1.1 mm map covers the main body of the CMZ over a field of $1.6 \times 1.1$ deg$^2$ with an angular resolution of $10.5''$ and a depth of 15 mJy/beam. To account for the intensity loss due to the background removal process, we combine this map with lower resolution CSO/Bolocam and \textit{Planck}/HFI data to produce an effective full intensity 1.1 mm continuum map. With this map and existing \textit{Herschel} surveys, we have carried out a comprehensive analysis of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of dust in the CMZ. A key component of this analysis is the implementation of a model-based deconvolution approach, incorporating the Point Spread Functions (PSFs) of the different instruments, and hence recovering a significant amount of spatial information on angular scales larger than $10.5''$. The monitoring of Sgr A* was carried out as part of a worldwide, multi-wavelength campaign when the so-called G2 object was undergoing the pericenter passage around the massive black hole (MBH). Our preliminary results include 1) high-resolution maps of column density, temperature and dust spectral index across the CMZ; 2) a 1.1~mm light curve of Sgr A* showing an outburst of $140\%$ maximum amplitude on 9th May, 2014 but otherwise only stochastic variations of $10\%$ and no systematic long-term change, consistent with other observations.

description: Cascading gauge theories of Klebanov et.al. provide a model within a framework of gauge theory/string theory duality for a four dimensional non-conformal gauge theory with a spontaneously generated mass scale. Using the dual supergravity description we study sound wave propagation in strongly coupled cascading gauge theory plasma. We analytically compute the speed of sound and the bulk viscosity of cascading gauge theory plasma at a temperature much larger than the strong coupling scale of the theory. The sound wave dispersion relation is obtained from the hydrodynamic pole in the stress-energy tensor two-point correlation function. The speed of sound extracted from the pole of the correlation function agrees with its value computed in [hep-th/0506002] using the equation of state. We find that the bulk viscosity of the hot cascading gauge theory plasma is non-zero at the leading order in the deviation from conformality.
