description: Topological insulators (TI) and magnetic topological insulators (MTI) can apply highly efficient spin-orbit torque (SOT) and manipulate the magnetization with their unique topological surface states with ultra-high efficiency. Here, we demonstrate efficient SOT switching of a hard MTI, V-doped (Bi,Sb)2Te3 (VBST) with a large coercive field that can prevent the influence of an external magnetic field. A giant switched anomalous Hall resistance of 9.2 $kΩ$ is realized, among the largest of all SOT systems, which makes the Hall channel a good readout and eliminates the need to fabricate complicated magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structures. The SOT switching current density can be reduced to $2.8\times10^5 A/cm^2$. Moreover, as the Fermi level is moved away from the Dirac point by both gate and composition tuning, VBST exhibits a transition from edge-state-mediated to surface-state-mediated transport, thus enhancing the SOT effective field to $1.56\pm 0.12 T/ (10^6 A/cm^2)$ and the interfacial charge-to-spin conversion efficiency to $3.9\pm 0.3 nm^{-1}$. The findings establish VBST as an extraordinary candidate for energy-efficient magnetic memory devices.

description: We study the transmission of both classical or quantum information through all the phases of a finite XXZ spin chain. This characterizes the merit of the different phases in terms of their ability to act as a quantum wire. As far as quantum information is concerned, we need only consider the transmission of entanglement as the direct transmission of a quantum state is equivalent. The isotropic anti-ferromagnetic spin chain is found to be the optimal point of the phase diagram for the transmission of quantum entanglement when one considers both the amount of transmitted entanglement, as well as the velocity with which it is transmitted. But this optimal point in the phase diagram moves to the Neel phase when decoherence or thermal fluctuations are taken to account. This chain may also be able to transfer classical information even when, due to a large magnitude of the noise, quantum information is not transmitted at all. For a certain range of anisotropies of the model, a curious feature is found in the flow of quantum information inside the chain, namely, a hopping mode of entanglement transfer which skips the odd numbered sites. Our predictions will potentially be testable in several physical systems.

description: Purpose: Conjugation of nanocarriers with antibodies that bind to specific membrane receptors that are overexpressed in cancer cells enables targeted delivery. In the present study, we developed and synthesised two PAMAM dendrimer-trastuzumab conjugates that carried docetaxel or paclitaxel, specifically targeted to cells which overexpressed HER-2. Methods: The 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR and RP-HPLC were used to analyse the characteristics of the products and assess their purity. The toxicity of PAMAM-trastuzumab, PAMAM-doc-trastuzumab and PAMAM-ptx-trastuzumab conjugates was determined using MTT assay and compared with free trastuzumab, docetaxel and paclitaxel toward HER-2-positive (SKBR-3) and negative (MCF-7) human breast cancer cell lines. The cellular uptake and internal localisation were studied using flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, respectively. Results: The PAMAM-drug-trastuzumab conjugates in particular showed extremely high toxicity toward the HER-2-positive SKBR-3 cells and very low toxicity towards to HER-2-negative MCF-7 cells. As expected, the HER-2-positive SKBR-3 cell line accumulated trastuzumab from both conjugates rapidly; but surprisingly, although a large amount of PAMAM-ptx-trastuzumab conjugate was observed in the HER-2-negative MCF-7 cells. Confocal microscopy confirmed the intracellular localisation of analysed compounds. The key result of fluorescent imaging was the identification of strong selective binding of the PAMAM-doc-trastuzumab conjugate with HER-2-positive SKBR-3 cells only. Conclusions: Our results confirm the high selectivity of PAMAM-doc-trastuzumab and PAMAM-ptx-trastuzumab conjugates for HER-2-positive cells, and demonstrate the utility of trastuzumab as a targeting agent. Therefore, the analysed conjugates present an promising approach for the improvement of efficacy of targeted delivery of anticancer drugs such as docetaxel or paclitaxel. © 2019, The Author(s).

description: We identify a set of "energy" functionals on the space of metrics in a given Kaehler class on a Calabi-Yau manifold, which are bounded below and minimized uniquely on the Ricci-flat metric in that class. Using these functionals, we recast the problem of numerically solving the Einstein equation as an optimization problem. We apply this strategy, using the "algebraic" metrics (metrics for which the Kaehler potential is given in terms of a polynomial in the projective coordinates), to the Fermat quartic and to a one-parameter family of quintics that includes the Fermat and conifold quintics. We show that this method yields approximations to the Ricci-flat metric that are exponentially accurate in the degree of the polynomial (except at the conifold point, where the convergence is polynomial), and therefore orders of magnitude more accurate than the balanced metrics, previously studied as approximations to the Ricci-flat metric. The method is relatively fast and easy to implement. On the theoretical side, we also show that the functionals can be used to give a heuristic proof of Yau's theorem.

title: Studies of Evaporational Cooling in an Apple Orchard
Creators: name: Zsiray, Stephen W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: In the spring, apple orchards are susceptible to freeze damage. Various approaches to orchard protection have been used in the past. Overhead sprinkling for bloom delay has been effective in extending to a later period in the spring the freeze hardiness of apple buds. Thus, protection against a late spring freeze is obtained. Previous research has not been conducted to determine optimum sprinkling times in the spring, the most effective threshold temperature, the amount of water needed to provide adequate bud protection, and the daily length of sprinkling time.
A 2-year investigation was conducted with the objective of obtaining basic information to help in system design and the operational aspects of overhead sprinkling. The experiment was designed to determine the effectiveness of a system sprinkling beginning at the end of rest and at Celsius growing degree hour accumulations relating to stages bud development. The evaluation of limited and unlimited water use and the relation to bloom delay was obtained.
The two sprinkler types studied were umbrella and impact. On the umbrella sprinklers, four cycling times (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6 time) and three threshold temperatures (7, 10, and 13 C) were tested. On the impact sprinkler, three nozzle sizes (4.0, 3.6, and 2.8 mm) were evaluated.
The investigation answered many questions, the most important of which were: (1) when only limited bloom delay is needed, more freeze protection can be obtained by sprinkling in the early spring than in the late spring; (2) bloom delay can be regulated by terminating sprinkling at different stages of bud development; (3) to obtain maximum delay, sprinkling should begin at the end of rest and a low threshold temperature for sprinkling should be used for sprinkler initiation; (4) when limited delay is required, greater efficiency of water use can be obtained by lowering the threshold temperature and lowering the application rate.

description: Many investigations of scientific collaboration are based on statistical analyses of large networks constructed from bibliographic repositories. These investigations often rely on a wealth of bibliographic data, but very little or no other information about the individuals in the network, and thus, fail to illustrate the broader social and academic landscape in which collaboration takes place. In this article, we perform an in-depth longitudinal analysis of a relatively small network of scientific collaboration (N = 291) constructed from the bibliographic record of a research center involved in the development and application of sensor network and wireless technologies. We perform a preliminary analysis of selected structural properties of the network, computing its range, configuration and topology. We then support our preliminary statistical analysis with an in-depth temporal investigation of the assortative mixing of selected node characteristics, unveiling the researchers' propensity to collaborate preferentially with others with a similar academic profile. Our qualitative analysis of mixing patterns offers clues as to the nature of the scientific community being modeled in relation to its organizational, disciplinary, institutional, and international arrangements of collaboration.

description: As part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI) program, the Federal Highway Administration investigated the human factors research needs for integrating in-vehicle safety and driver information technologies into usable systems that provide manageable information to the driver. This investigation included a workshop in December 1997 for IVI stakeholders (i.e., universities, automotive manufacturers, vendors, and contractors) and a preliminary assessment of infrastructure and in-vehicle requirements. This flyer summarizes the identified human factors research needs for advanced traveler information system (ATIS) capabilities, one of five configurations of in-vehicle safety and driver information systems. A complete review of the research needs for all five configurations can be found in the final report (FHWA-RD-98-178). These configurations were developed based on: (1) identified safety and driver information systems and functions, (2) a thorough literature review of past research and research gaps related to these in-vehicle systems, and (3) combining logical groups of basic and advanced safety and driver information functions in passenger cars, commercial trucks, and transit vehicles such as buses. Each candidate configuration was meant to provide clear safety benefits to the driver as well as a solid technical foundation for the system configurations for the IVI. The goal of the configuration described below is to provide ATIS capabilities and basic collision warning to the three vehicle types.

description: Quantum Volume is a full-stack benchmark for near-term quantum computers. It quantifies the largest size of a square circuit which can be executed on the target device with reasonable fidelity. Error mitigation is a set of techniques intended to remove the effects of noise present in the computation of noisy quantum computers when computing an expectation value of interest. Effective quantum volume is a proposed metric that applies error mitigation to the quantum volume protocol in order to evaluate the effectiveness not only of the target device but also of the error mitigation algorithm. Digital Zero-Noise Extrapolation (ZNE) is an error mitigation technique that estimates the noiseless expectation value using circuit folding to amplify errors by known scale factors and extrapolating to the zero-noise limit. Here we demonstrate that ZNE, with global and local unitary folding with fractional scale factors, in conjunction with dynamical decoupling, can increase the effective quantum volume over the vendor-measured quantum volume. Specifically, we measure the effective quantum volume of four IBM Quantum superconducting processor units, obtaining values that are larger than the vendor-measured quantum volume on each device. This is the first such increase reported.
title: Influence of Environment and Cultural Practices on Rest, Cold Hardiness, and Abscisic Acid Concentration of Gleason Elberta Peach Buds
Creators: name: Walser, Ronald H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: The effects of temperature, defoliation, light, and certain fall cultural practices on rest and hardiness of Gleason Elberta peach buds were studied. The influence of these factors on abscisic acid concentration in peach buds and a possible role of ABA in rest and hardiness of peach buds were also investigated.
Peach leaf buds enter rest in early fall, reach a rest intensity peak in early winter, then break rest as a chilling requirement is met. Complete defoliation before rest has begun will cause some leaf and flower buds to grow, while defoliation after rest has begun will not cause visible bud growth.
Effective chill-unit accumulation in the fall apparently did not begin until after a certain amount of leaf abscission had occurred. A GA3 application on August 15, 1974, delayed leaf abscission, and also caused an extension of the rest period. Early fall defoliation was correlated with a reduction in rest intensity and a reduction in the rest period of leaf buds.
A result of this study indicates the possibility of the existence of a rest promoting substance that was apparently translocated from a side of a tree exposed to ambient temperatures to a warm greenhouse covered side.
Decreasing temperatures caused an increase in flower bud hardiness, however, other factors also had effects on hardiness.
An extended day-length treatment caused flower buds to acclimate more slowly than those on untreated trees during the early fall period. The light affect was not evident as colder temperatures prevailed.
Buds on trees that were kept warm, acclimated to the same level as buds on trees kept at cooler but non freezing temperatures. However, it took the warm buds approximately four months longer to acclimate. Buds on trees that were exposed to below freezing temperatures acclimated to a much lower level than those on trees not exposed to freezing temperatures.
Fall pruning and heavy fertilization with ammonium nitrate did not reduce cold hardiness enough to be measured. However, buds on vigorous, large diameter twigs were more hardy during the early winter period than buds on twigs of smaller diameter.
The August 15 and September 19 GA3 treated trees and the early defoliated trees had a delay in acclimation during the fall period, although they did eventually acclimate to the same level as the untreated buds.
Abscisic acid concentration in peach leaf and flower buds was low before rest began, increased sharply during the rest inception period, and decreased in concentration before the end of rest. ABA may be a controlling factor in the inception of rest in peach.
There was no apparent relationship between ABA concentration and cold hardiness of Gleason Elberta peach flower buds.

Furthermore, we classify all 6-dimensional nilmanifolds according to which of the four types of left-invariant generalized complex structure they admit. We also show that the two components of the left-invariant complex moduli space for the Iwasawa manifold are no longer disjoint when they are viewed in the generalized complex moduli space. Finally, we provide an 8-dimensional nilmanifold which admits no left-invariant generalized complex structure.

description: MoMeNTS ArT, a performing arts company founded in 1997 (with initial activities starting in 1992 in Valencia), is dedicated to individuals with physical, mental, and sensory disabilities and mental health challenges. They focus on both creative expression and rehabilitative therapy, primarily emphasizing delivering captivating artistic performances.
Their approach is rooted in the therapeutic aspects of dance and theatre, with three key foundations: Firstly, recognizing the inherent human need for movement; secondly, acknowledging the proven effectiveness of dance as a natural non-verbal form of communication; and thirdly, understanding the neurological significance of dance movements in stimulating proprioceptive receptors, especially fine movements, which play a pivotal role in shaping human consciousness and influencing aspects like body awareness and perception of time and space.
Dance and theatre, involving coordination, movement control, and rhythm, integrate with psychology and pedagogy. These disciplines are utilized to reinforce, correct, and stabilize neurological activity. This integration, combined with self-discipline, self-control, and the cultivation of aesthetic interest, fosters an environment where participants interact with instructors and peers to promote social communication, interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, independence, security, confidence, stress relief, and emotional control.

MoMeNTS ArT considers art for individuals with disabilities as a concept that should be approached as something natural and commonplace. Practical implementation, however, may require necessary adaptations to ensure its equal validity.
Through education, the establishment of the company, and the staging of performances, they seek to provide culturally enriching experiences for individuals while employing a methodology that ensures personal and personalized attention.
MoMeNTS ArT is registered as a center under the Consellería de Igualdad y Políticas Inclusivas of the Generalitat Valenciana. They also hold affiliations with organizations such as AVED (Asociación Valenciana de Empresas de Danza), FNAD (Federación Nacional de Arte y Discapacidad), and FECED (Federación Estatal de Compañías de y Empresas de Danza), as well as connections with various national and international entities in the field of Culture and Diversity.

title: The Interaction Between Water Movement, Solute Uptake, and Respirational Energy in Plant Roots
Creators: name: Tawakol, Mohamed Sadek
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: Sunflower plants (Helianthus annus, var. Russian mammoth) were grown in Hogland nutrient solution. The roots (after being subjected to treatments with either respiratory inhibitors or respiratory stimulators) were used to measure the flux of water Jw, flux of solute Js , and the rate of respiration Jo.
The thermodynamic theory of irreversible processes was used to examine the interaction between fluxes, and the changes in conductivity under different treatments. The rate equations for a root membrane of unit thickness were developed as:
Jw = LwwVw∆p + LwsRT ln C1s/C2s +LwoRT ln C1o/C2o
Js = LswVx∆p + LssRT ln C1s/C2s + LsoRT ln C1o/C2o
Jo = LowVw∆p + Los RT ln C1s/C2s + LooRT ln C1o/C2o
Where: Lww, Lss, Loo are the direct transfer coefficients for water, solute , and oxygen; and Lws, Lsw, Lwo, Low, Lso, Los are the interaction or linked transfer coefficients; Vw partial molal volume (or specific volume) of water , ∆p the difference in pressure between the external solution and xylem: C1s and C2s , C1o and C2o are the salt and oxygen concentration in external solution and xylem respectively.
The results showed that: 1. The nonlinearity of the flux of water through the root system of sunflower is due to causes associated with the membrane (mainly the permeability). 2. The increase in respiration did not increase the permeability of the membrane. 3. The uptake of water due to solute potential under transpiring conditions is small, but important. 4. The uptake of solute in normal root systems is by active process fromsolutions to the zylem and then moves passively to the leaves. 5. An increase in passive water uptake might cause an increase of respiration of the root.

description: Antiferromagnetic, Mott insulator, d-wave and gossamer superfluid phases are calculated for 2D square lattices from the extended Hubbard (t-J-U) model using the Gutzwiller projection method and renormalized mean field theory. Phase separation between antiferromagnetic and d-wave superfluid phases is found near half filling when the on-site repulsion exceeds $U\ga7.3t$, and coincides with a first order transition in the double occupancy. Phase separation is thus predicted for 2D optical lattices with ultracold Fermi atoms whereas it is inhibited in cuprates by Coulomb frustration which instead may lead to stripes. In a confined optical lattice the resulting density distribution is discontinuous an with extended Mott plateau which enhances the antiferromagnetic phase but suppresses the superfluid phase. Observation of Mott insulator, antiferromagnetic, stripe and superfluid phases in density and momentum distributions and correlations is discussed.

description: Some functions entering cosmological analysis, such as the dark energy equation of state or systematic uncertainties, are unknown functions of redshift. To include them without assuming a particular form we derive an efficient method for generating realizations of all possible functions subject to certain bounds or physical conditions, e.g. w\in[-1,+1] as for quintessence. The method is optimal in the sense that it is both pure and complete in filling the allowed space of principal components. The technique is applied to propagation of systematic uncertainties in supernova population drift and dust corrections and calibration through to cosmology parameter estimation and bias in the magnitude-redshift Hubble diagram. We identify specific ranges of redshift and wavelength bands where the greatest improvements in supernova systematics due to population evolution and dust correction can be achieved.

description: Studies were conducted to better understand the effect of temperature, photoperiod, cultural practices, and growth regulators on the hardening and dehardening of peach tree wood.
Greenhouses were constructed to control temperatures to which peach trees were exposed. It was noted that hardening and dehardening usually followed the temperature fluctuation fairly closely. However, trees exposed to temperatures above 60 F (15. 6 C) became hardy to 0 F (-17. 8 C).
A photoperiodic response in regard to an increase or decrease in hardiness was not definitely observed in peach wood. Extended photoperiod did not produce any significant effect on hardiness. Defoliation, bloom date, and fruit set were all the same as the controls.
The cultural practices of fall pruning and heavy late summer fertilization with nitrogen did not result in a change in the hardiness level of the trees when compared with the controls. Likewise gibberellic acid spray had no effect.
Defoliation produced serious physiological damage when done in mid-August, while defoliation in mid-September was not nearly so damaging, Defoliated trees were less hardy than the controls until mid winter.

description: The state of cold quark matter really challenges both astrophysicists and particle physicists, even many-body physicists. It is conventionally suggested that BCS-like color superconductivity occurs in cold quark matter; however, other scenarios with a ground state rather than of Fermi gas could still be possible. It is addressed that quarks are dressed and clustering in cold quark matter at realistic baryon densities of compact stars, since a weakly coupling treatment of the interaction between constituent quarks would not be reliable. Cold quark matter is conjectured to be in a solid state if thermal kinematic energy is much lower than the interaction energy of quark clusters, and such a state could be relevant to different manifestations of pulsar-like compact stars.

description: Various ammonium salts, urea, aqua ammonia, and anhydrous ammonia are important sources of nitrogen for the fertilization of agricultural crops. While ammonia and its compounds are useful as fertilizers, they can be, and often are, toxic to many plants (Willis and Rankin, 1930; Stout and Tolman, 1941; Raleigh, 1942; Stoll, 1954; Lorenz, 1955; Grogan and Zink, 1956; Allen, 1962; Cooke, 1962; Allred, 1963; Court et al, 1964; Hood and Ensminger, 1964). There are also products which have been designed to retard the oxidation of ammonia and its compounds (Go ring, 1962). It is therefore important that the effects of ammonia and its compounds on plants, plant growth and plant metabolism be fully understood.

description: Purpose: In order to overcome the obstacles and side effects of classical chemotherapy, numerous studies have been performed to develop the treatment based on targeted transport of active compounds directly to the site of action. Since tumor cells are featured with intensified glucose metabolism, we set out to develop innovative, glucose-modified PAMAM dendrimer for the delivery of doxorubicin to breast cancer cells. Methods: PAMAM-dox-glc conjugate was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, FT-IR, size and zeta potential measurements. The drug release rate from conjugate was evaluated by dialysis under different pH conditions. The expression level of GLUT family receptors in cells cultured in full and glucose-deprived medium was evaluated by quantitative real-time RT-PCR and flow cytometry. The cytotoxicity of conjugate in presence or absence of GLUT1 inhibitors was determined by MTT assay. Results: We showed that PAMAM-dox-glc conjugate exhibits pH-dependent drug release and increased cytotoxic activity compared to free drug in cells cultured in medium without glucose. Further, we proved that these cells overexpress transporters of GLUT family. The toxic effect of conjugate was eliminated by the application of specific GLUT1 inhibitors. Conclusion: Our findings revealed that the glucose moiety plays a crucial role in the recognition of cells with high expression of GLUT receptors. By selectively blocking GLUT1 transporter we showed its importance for the cytotoxic activity of PAMAM-dox-glc conjugate. These results suggest that PAMAM-glucose formulations may constitute an efficient platform for the specific delivery of anticancer drugs to tumor cells overexpressing transporters of GLUT family. © 2019, The Author(s).

description: Several authors have studied stego-systems based on Costa scheme, but just a few ones gave both theoretical and experimental justifications of these schemes performance in an active warden context. We provide in this paper a steganographic and comparative study of three informed stego-systems in active warden context: scalar Costa scheme, trellis-coded quantization and spread transform scalar Costa scheme. By leading on analytical formulations and on experimental evaluations, we show the advantages and limits of each scheme in term of statistical undetectability and capacity in the case of active warden. Such as the undetectability is given by the distance between the stego-signal and the cover distance. It is measured by the Kullback-Leibler distance.

description: We introduce a surgery for generalized complex manifolds whose input is a symplectic 4-manifold containing a symplectic 2-torus with trivial normal bundle and whose output is a 4-manifold endowed with a generalized complex structure exhibiting type change along a 2-torus. Performing this surgery on a K3 surface, we obtain a generalized complex structure on 3 CP^2 # 19 \overline{CP^2}, which has vanishing Seiberg-Witten invariants and hence does not admit complex or symplectic structure.

description: The theatre group Paladio was established in 1996 and is affiliated with the Asociación Paladio Arte, headquartered in Segovia. In addition to the theatre group, this non-profit organization encompasses a specialized job placement center known as the Centro Especial de Empleo Paladio Arte and a drama school, all operating under the same roof. The primary objective of the Asociación Paladio Arte is to facilitate the social and professional integration of individuals facing various forms of social disadvantage, regardless of age. This includes individuals with physical, psychological, sensory, and mental disabilities. The theatre serves as a platform to empower them to advocate for their rights and interests and shed light on the specific challenges they encounter. Consequently, the association identifies itself as a cultural project for social inclusion, where its members contribute to society as artists.

The institution is dedicated to contemporary art. The Centro Especial de Empleo Paladio Arte, founded in 2007, is committed to producing and performing plays. It actively involves individuals with disabilities in both the professional ensemble and its management. This institution is a unique entity in Spain and has already received recognition as a social project from the Caja Segovia Foundation. For 25 years, the group has been performing in Segovia alongside national and international theatre ensembles and has toured across Spain, France, and Portugal. Their productions have a wide-ranging appeal. Additionally, the association has been organizing the Festival Internacional Paladio Arte since 2006, where performing arts ensembles from around the world showcase their work. The goal of this event series is to make the world of performing arts and diversity more accessible to society while highlighting the high quality of integrative art.

The Teatro Paladio school has been operational since 2004 and offers theatre education to individuals with and without disabilities. Daily courses cover topics such as voice, body language, improvisation, teamwork, reading, and memorization. Actor training provides participants with an opportunity to enhance their social skills, expressive abilities, personal autonomy, and self-esteem. Moreover, it fosters social integration, particularly in terms of inclusion in the labor market. As members of the Paladio theatre group, these actors participate in public performances.

Furthermore, the association is one of the founding members of the Federación Nacional de Arte y Discapacidad (National Association for Art and Disability). Their commitment extends to organizing workshops for school children, training sessions for integrative theatre instructors, and programs focusing on social competence.
Individuelle kardiale und pulmonale Dosisexposition der adjuvanten Strahlentherapie bei Brustkrebspatientinnen mit günstigem Risikoprofil

Subjects: subject: 610 Medical sciences Medicine

description: Bei linksseitiger tangentialer Brustbestrahlung kommt es zu einer ungewollten, teilweise Hochdosisexposition von Herzstrukturen. Die Bestrahlung in deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) stellt für Patientinnen mit ungünstiger Anatomie eine gute Möglichkeit zur Verringerung der kardialen Dosisexposition, insbesondere der tangentennahen Substrukturen, dar. Es existieren keine anamnestischen Faktoren zur sicheren Vorhersage für die Notwendigkeit der DIBH. Anhand der maximum heart distance (MHD) lässt sich die kardiale Exposition abschätzen. Bei positiver MHD sollte die Planung in DIBH erfolgen.

The Coupling of Chern-Simons Theory to Topological Gravity

description: We couple Chern-Simons gauge theory to 3-dimensional topological gravity with the aim of investigating its quantum topological invariance. We derive the relevant BRST rules and Batalin-Vilkovisky action. Standard BRST transformations of the gauge field are modified by terms involving both its anti-field and the super-ghost of topological gravity. Beyond the obvious couplings to the metric and the gravitino, the BV action includes hitherto neglected couplings to the super-ghost. We use this result to determine the topological anomalies of certain higher ghost deformations of SU(N) Chern-Simons theory, introduced years ago by Witten. In the context of topological strings these anomalies, which generalize the familiar framing anomaly, are expected to be cancelled by couplings of the closed string sector. We show that such couplings are obtained by dressing the closed string field with topological gravity observables.

description: We develop a theory of reduction for generalized Kahler and hyper-Kahler structures which uses the generalized Riemannian metric in an essential way, and which is not described with reference solely to a single generalized complex structure. We show that our construction specializes to the usual theory of Kahler and hyper-Kahler reduction, and it gives a way to view usual hyper-Kahler quotients in terms of generalized Kahler reduction.
