description: The X-ray spectrum of the Galactic microquasar SS 433 contains a rich set of emission lines of highly ionized atoms of heavy elements whose significant Doppler shift leaves no doubt that they are produced in collimated relativistic jets of outflowing material. We have performed a systematic analysis of the high-resolution X-ray spectra obtained by the Chandra observatory to determine the parameters of the jets within the multitemperature model of their emission that self-consistently predicts the source's line and continuum spectrum. The spectrum of SS 433 at energies below 3 keV is shown to be statistically satisfactorily described by the jet emission model, while the introduction of an additional hard component is required above 3 keV. We summarize the jet parameters (bulk velocity, opening angle, kinetic luminosity, base temperature, and relative elemental abundances) derived by fitting the data below 3 keV and describe the revealed degeneracies and systematic effects due to the presence of an additional component. Using the derived parameters, we show that the hard component is compatible with the emission from the hot (up to 40 keV) extension of the visible part of the jets moderately absorbed ($N_H \sim 2 \times 10^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$) in the cold-wind material. The combined X-ray emission model constructed in this way allows the broadband spectrum of SS 433 to be described self-consistently.

description: The functional integral for QCD is reformulated by introducing explicitly an integration over the fluctuations of composite quark-antiquark bound states. Chiral symmetry breaking by the color singlet scalar field induces masses for the fermions. Our formulation with scalar fluctuations may be useful for lattice gauge theories by modifying the spectrum of the Dirac operator in the vacuum and permitting a simple connection to chiral perturbation theory. We propose that a ``condensate'' of quark-antiquark bound states in the color octet channel generates masses of the gluons by the Higgs mechanism. A simple effective action for quarks, gluons and (composite) scalars yields a surprisingly good description of the charges, masses and interactions of all low mass physical excitations - baryons, pseudoscalars and vector mesons. Dressed quarks appear as baryons and dressed gluons as vector mesons.

description: The effects of the gravitational back reaction of cosmological perturbations are investigated in a cosmological model where the universe is dominated by phantom energy. We assume a COBE normalized spectrum of cosmological fluctuations at the present time and calculate the effective energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational back-reactions of cosmological perturbations whose wavelengths at the time when the back-reactions are evaluated are larger than the Hubble radius. Our results reveal that the effects of gravitational back-reactions will counteract that of phantom energy sooner or later and can become large enough to terminate the phantom dominated phase before the big rip as the universe evolves. This arises because the phase space of infrared modes grows very rapidly as we come close to the big rip.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: China’s growth performance over the last three decades has stood at a phenomenal nine percent per annum and shows little sign of abating despite challenging market conditions in recent times. With ever increasing demand and limited land availability this is set to have an increasing impact on New Zealand which has a comparative advantage in land-intensive agricultural products. Already this is observable in recent trade statistics. Using GTAP (global trade analysis project), a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, this research estimates the future effects of Chinese growth to New Zealand’s agricultural sectors and its economy in general. Almost all primary industries in New Zealand can expect to benefit from China’s growth, most notably wool and forestry. Modest gains in gross domestic product and economic welfare also benefit the country on the whole. Chinese growth also complements the well documented gains of the recently signed free trade agreement between the two nations.

description: This work represent the first major study of the optical and IR characteristics of the mass donor companions to the X-ray pulsars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). In this work several new counterparts have been identified, and possible ones confirmed, as companions to X-ray pulsars in the SMC giving a total of 34 such objects now identified. In addition this work presents three new binary periods and confirms two X-ray periods using optical data for objects in this group. This homogeneous sample has been studied as a group to determine important general characteristics that may offer insight into the evolution of such systems. In particular, the spectral class distribution shows a much greater agreement with those of isolated Be stars, and appears to be in some disagreement with the galactic population of Be stars in Be/X-ray binaries. Studies of the long term optical modulation of the Be star companions reveal an extremely variable group of objects, a fact which will almost certainly make a major contribution to the pronounced X-ray variability. The spatial distribution of these systems within the SMC is investigated and strongly suggests a link between massive star formation and the HI density distribution. Finally, studies of the circumstellar disk characteristics reveal a strong link with optical variability offering important clues into the long-term stability of such disks.

description: In Zambia, local training of pharmacists commenced in 2001. Development of pharmaceutical education in Zambiahas been largely influenced by the national need for pharmacists in the healthcare sector. Training institutions offerthe Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.) degree programme which follows a four-year curriculum structure. TheB.Pharm. programme aims to produce pharmacists with requisite competences to practise pharmaceutical care andsustain the development of pharmacy in Zambia. Seventeen years down the line, Zambia continues to advance localpharmaceutical education programmes. Over 700 pharmacists have graduated from the national training programmesin Zambia which continue to address the pharmaceutical workforce needs. Pharmaceutical education in Zambiaoffers a number of career prospects in hospital, community, pharmaceutical manufacturing, medicine regulation,public health administration, and progression to academia. Positive transitions made to advance pharmacists’ trainingin Zambia give a positive outlook for the future.

description: This paper delves into the transformative role of Generative AI in the realm of search engines, with a focus on Google Bard. At the forefront of this exploration is the question of how Google Bard, as an AI-powered tool, impacts the diversity of information presented in Google Search results. Employing the “search as research” methodology, this study critically examines the range and variety of topics, viewpoints, and sources across traditional and AI- powered Google SERPs. The research incorporates a comparative analysis of the representation of complex global issues such as the conflicts in Ukraine, Russia, Palestine, and Israel, investigating how AI reshapes information curation compared to traditional search algorithms. The findings reveal that while Google Bard extends the range of topics covered, it often streamlines complex narratives into generalized overviews, highlighting the persistence of mainstream biases and the challenges in achieving a truly diverse and unbiased information ecosystem. This study contributes to the broader academic discourse across Critical Search Engine Studies, Platform Studies, and Critical AI Studies, offering insights into the nuanced roles of AI in search engines, algorithmic transparency, and the ethical implications of digital information dissemination. The research underscores the need for ongoing scrutiny and ethical reflection in the development and deployment of AI technologies within search engines, advocating for a balanced approach that ensures technological innovation aligns with the goal of fostering a diverse, reliable, and comprehensive digital information landscape.
A model for next-to-leading order threshold resummed form factors

description: We present a model for next-to-leading order resummed threshold form factors based on a time-like coupling recently introduced in the framework of small x physics. Improved expressions for the form factors in N-space are obtained which are not plagued by Landau-pole singularities, as the included absorptive effects -- usually neglected -- act as regulators. The physical reason is that, because of faster decay of gluon jets, there is not enough resolution time to observe the Landau pole. Our form factors reduce to the standard ones when the absorptive parts related to the coupling are neglected. The inverse transform from N-space to x-space can be done directly without any prescription and we obtain analytical expressions for the form factors, which are well defined in all x-space.

description: Over the past few decades the relative price of eggs has fallen dramatically in New Zealand. This has been made possible, at least in part, by the application of increasingly intensive agricultural practices. However, there is also growing pressure from consumers and animal rights groups around the world to ban the use of conventional/barren cages for egg production on animal welfare grounds. In this paper a simple partial equilibrium model is used to provide a preliminary estimate of the welfare effects of moving to alternative housing systems for egg laying hens in New Zealand. Results indicate that in a market where demand is relatively inelastic and trade is restricted for sanitary reasons, the cost of improving hen welfare will be born largely by consumers. This raises difficult distributional issues, as market research indicates that nearly 80% of the eggs currently sold in New Zealand supermarkets are cage eggs, and the heaviest purchasers of eggs are those with large families and limited budgets.

description: Recent transcriptome studies using next-generation sequencing have detected aberrant changes in the expression of noncodingRNAs (ncRNAs) associated with cancer. For prostate cancer, the expression levels of ncRNAs including microRNAsand long noncoding RNAs are strongly associated with diagnosis, carcinogenesis and tumor growth. Moreover, androgenand its cognate receptor, androgen receptor (AR), regulate various signaling pathways for prostate tumor growth. In addition,progression to lethal castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is also owing to AR function. Systematic analysis ofAR-binding sites and their regulated transcripts revealed that many ncRNAs are widely regulated at the transcriptionallevel. Thus, recent studies provide new insight into the complicated molecular mechanism of prostate cancer progression.This review
Tariffication of Tariff Rate Quotas under oligopolistic competition: the case of the EU import regimes for bananas

description: The paper develops a two-stage capacity constrained duopoly model, in which the mode of competition is endogenous and the constraint is flexible, to investigate the impact of Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQs) and their liberalization. The model predicts that the greater the gap between the price of the licences plus the in-quota tariff and the out-of-quota tariff, the closer the outcome of the game to the pure Cournot outcome. The tariff equivalent changes according to the prevailing mode of competition under the TRQ. The model is used to address the issue of the tariffication of the non-ACP TRQ for EU banana imports. The results suggest that under the TRQ firms competed on quantity and that the tariff equivalent is higher than the tariff introduced by the EU in 2006.

description: Optical properties of nanocrystalline red-emitting phosphor, Europium doped Yttria (Y$_{2}$O$_{3}$:Eu$^{3+})$, of average particle size 15 nm are investigated. The intensity of the strongest emission line at 612 nm is found to be highest in the nanocrystalline sample with 4 at. wt. % of Europium. The narrow electronic emission spectrum suggests a crystalline surrounding in this nanomaterial. We have estimated the strength of the crystal field parameter at the dopant site, which plays a crucial role in determining the appearance of the intense emission line. The equilibrium temperature of this system has also been calculated from the intensity ratio of Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman scattering. Though known for the bulk samples, our approach and consequent results on the crystalline nanomaterial of Y$_{2}$O$_{3}$:Eu$^{3+}$ provide a unique report, which, we believe, can be of considerable significance in nanotechnology.the intensity ratio of Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman scattering.

The Manifestoes and aesthetics of twentieth century Venezuelan poetic groups : from modernity to postmodernity
Creators: name: Dykstra, Kevin Lance
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation observes and discusses the characteristics of Venezuelan poetry in the twentieth century as it relates to the transition from Modernity to Postmodernity. It first discusses the characteristics of Modernity and the development of Postmodernity in Western philosophical thought. These characteristics are then applied to the context of Latin America and, specifically, Venezuela. The concept of Modernity is discussed in terms of political and aesthetic developments in Venezuelan poetry during three distinct political and economic periods of the twentieth century. The first stage is presented as a period of authoritarian rule, the second as a fledgling, and struggling, democracy, and the third as a democratic charade leading to a "crisis of Modernity". This study demonstrates that there has been a steady movement throughout the century from Modernity to Postmodernity in the aesthetic production of Venezuelan poetic groups. It shows how and why Venezuelan poetic groups began to reject Modernity's insistence that the subject is capable of categorizing and ordering the world into a rational and progressive system of knowledge. As the century progressed, poetic groups began to consider the futility of seeking a systematic, logical, and controlled approach to reality. By the 1980s, Venezuelan poets tended to avoid the ideological "metanarratives" that had been prevalent in the poetry of prior generations.

description: By using disipative version of the second and the third members of AKNS hierarchy, a new method to solve 2+1 dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP-II) equation is proposed. We show that dissipative solitons (dissipatons) of those members give rise to the real solitons of KP-II. From the Hirota bilinear form of the SL(2,R) AKNS flows, we formulate a new bilinear representation for KP-II, by which, one and two soliton solutions are constructed and the resonance character of their mutual interactions is studied. By our bilinear form, we first time created four virtual soliton resonance solution for KP-II and established relations of it with degenerate four-soliton solution in the Hirota-Satsuma bilinear form for KP-II.

description: Central to the power of open-source software is bug shallowness, the relative ease of finding and fixing bugs. The open-source movement began with Unix software, so many users were also programmers capable of finding and fixing bugs given the source code. But as the open-source movement reaches the Macintosh platform, bugs may not be shallow because few Macintosh users are programmers. Based on reports from open-source developers, I, however, conclude that that bugs are as shallow in open-source, Macintosh software as in any other open-source software.

description: One of the most well-known variants of the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) [Burrows and Wheeler, 1994] is the bijective BWT (BBWT) [Gil and Scott, arXiv 2012], which applies the extended BWT (EBWT) [Mantaci et al., TCS 2007] to the multiset of Lyndon factors of a given text. Since the EBWT is invertible, the BBWT is a bijective transform in the sense that the inverse image of the EBWT restores this multiset of Lyndon factors such that the original text can be obtained by sorting these factors in non-increasing order. In this paper, we present algorithms constructing or inverting the BBWT in-place using quadratic time. We also present conversions from the BBWT to the BWT, or vice versa, either (a) in-place using quadratic time, or (b) in the run-length compressed setting using $O(n \lg r / \lg \lg r)$ time with $O(r \lg n)$ bits of words, where $r$ is the sum of character runs in the BWT and the BBWT.

description: Engineered nanoparticles are widely used for delivery of drugs but frequently lack proof of safetyfor cancer patient's treatment. All-in-one covalent nanodrugs of the third generation have beensynthesized based on a poly(β-L-malic acid) (PMLA) platform, targeting human triple-negativebreast cancer (TNBC). They significantly inhibited tumor growth in nude mice by blockingsynthesis of epidermal growth factor receptor, and α4 and β1 chains of laminin-411, the tumorvascular wall protein and angiogenesis marker. PMLA and nanodrug biocompatibility and toxicityat low and high dosages were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The dual-action nanodrug and singleactionprecursor nanoconjugates were assessed under in vitro conditions and in vivo with multipletreatment regimens (6 and 12 treatments). The monitoring of TNBC treatment in vivo withdifferent drugs included blood hematologic and immunologic analysis after multiple intravenousadministrations. The present study demonstrates that the dual-action nanoconju-gate is highlyeffective in preclinical TNBC treatment without side effects, supported by hematologic andimmunologic assays data. PMLA-based nanodrugs of the Polycefin™ family passed multipletoxicity and efficacy tests in vitro and in vivo on preclinical level and may prove to be optimizedand efficacious for the treatment of cancer patients in the future.©

description: The relativistic fluid is a highly successful model used to describe the dynamics of many-particle systems moving at high velocities and/or in strong gravity. It takes as input physics from microscopic scales and yields as output predictions of bulk, macroscopic motion. By inverting the process-e.g., drawing on astrophysical observations-an understanding of relativistic features can lead to insight into physics on the microscopic scale. Relativistic fluids have been used to model systems as "small" as colliding heavy ions in laboratory experiments, and as large as the Universe itself, with "intermediate" sized objects like neutron stars being considered along the way. The purpose of this review is to discuss the mathematical and theoretical physics underpinnings of the relativistic (multi-) fluid model. We focus on the variational principle approach championed by Brandon Carter and collaborators, in which a crucial element is to distinguish the momenta that are conjugate to the particle number density currents. This approach differs from the "standard" text-book derivation of the equations of motion from the divergence of the stress-energy tensor in that one explicitly obtains the relativistic Euler equation as an "integrability" condition on the relativistic vorticity. We discuss the conservation laws and the equations of motion in detail, and provide a number of (in our opinion) interesting and relevant applications of the general theory. The formalism provides a foundation for complex models, e.g., including electromagnetism, superfluidity and elasticity-all of which are relevant for state of the art neutron-star modelling.

description: In 2006 the EU decided to abandon its moratorium on negotiating new free trade agreements. Since then, numerous negotiations have been started. In particular, the EU joined in the scramble for preferential market access in Asia, starting bilateral negotiations both with individual countries, as in the case of India and South Korea, and with regional subgroupings, such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). In this paper, we use a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to assess the effects of the possible agreements between the EU and the Asian countries. We want to evaluate the impact of the free trade agreements by themselves, their mutual compatibility as well as their relations with the larger agenda of multilateral trade liberalization. As a matter of fact, regional trade agreements are controversial in economics, not simply because of the classic (so-called ‘Vinerian’) view that they can sometimes reduce trade by diverting it, rather than creating it, but also because of the unresolved disagreements over when a regional trade agreement is likely to precede, rather than preclude, more global agreements.

description: We investigate the decays D^0 --> pi^- l^+ nu and D^0 --> K^- l^+ nu, where l = e or mu, using approximately 7 fb^{-1} of data collected with the CLEO III detector. We find R_0 = B(D->pienu)/B(D->Kenu) = 0.082 +- 0.006 +- 0.005. Fits to the kinematic distributions of the data provide parameters describing the form factor of each mode. Combining the form factor results and R_0 gives |f^pi_+(0)|^2 |V_{cd}|^2/|f^K_+(0)|^2 |V_{cs}|^2 = 0.038 +0.006- 0.007 +0.005-0.003.

description: A functional polymorphism in methylenetetrahydrofolatereductase (MTHFR) has been identifi ed at codon677 (C677T). The T-allele variant (valine type) has lowerenzyme activity than the wild type (C-allele or alaninetype), resulting in a slightly elevated homocysteine level,which has been recently recognized as a risk factor for fracture.However, whether subjects bearing the T allele havehigher susceptibility to fractures is still controversial. Wehave investigated the effects of MTHFR polymorphism onfracture susceptibility in Japanese postmenopausal women.A total of 502 postmenopausal ambulatory Japanese womenwere followed up for 5.1 ± 3.4 (mean ± SD) years, and atotal of 155 patients with incident fractures (121 patientswith vertebral fractures and 34 cases with fractures at othersites) were recorded. When compared with the patientswithout any fractures, the patients with incident fractureswere older, had more prevalent fractures, had higher urinarylevels of bone turnover markers as well as plasma homocysteinelevel, but were shorter in body height and had lowerbone mineral density. The prevalence of the TT genotypeof MTHFR was signifi cantly higher in the patients withincident fractures compared to the other genotypes. Thesubjects with the TT genotype had a higher incidence rateof fracture and higher plasma level of homocysteine thanthe subjects bearing the non-TT genotype. This relationshipwas observed in both osteoporotic and nonosteoporoticgroups. The hazard ratio for TT genotype without osteoporosis,non-TT genotype with osteoporosis, and TT genotypewith osteoporosis was 1.49 (0.91–2.45), 3.64 (2.50–5.29),and 7.21 (4.34–11.97), respectively, compared to the non-TTgenotype without osteoporosis. A higher hazard ratio forthe TT genotype with osteoporosis was still apparent afteradjustment for age, body size, and number of prevalentvertebral fractures. These results indicate that the TT genotypeof MTHFR may be a risk factor for future fracture inaddition to the traditional risk factors.

description: Exponential growth of thermal out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) is an indicator of a possible gravity dual, and a simple toy quantum model showing the growth is being looked for. We consider a system of two harmonic oscillators coupled nonlinearly with each other, and numerically observe that the thermal OTOC grows exponentially in time. The system is well-known to be classically chaotic, and is a reduction of Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. The exponential growth is certified because the growth exponent (quantum Lyapunov exponent) of the thermal OTOC is well matched with the classical Lyapunov exponent, including their energy/temperature dependence. Even in the presence of the exponential growth in the OTOC, the energy level spacings are not sufficient to judge a Wigner distribution, hence the OTOC is a better indicator of quantum chaos.

description: The present study examines factor content of the CEE transition country agricultural trade. We examine the relative country abundance for labour, capital and land, and test the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek (HOV) hypothesis. Our empirical findings suggest that the factor content of agricultural exports and imports is rather similar in CEE and most of the agricultural trade flows do not satisfy the HOV prediction. In order to explain the general lack of agricultural specialisation and the observed paradox in the CEE's agricultural trade, we examine the role of transaction costs and market imperfections. We find that transaction costs and market imperfections distort farm specialisation and hence factor content of agricultural trade.

description: Building on the work by Anderson and Neary on theoretically grounded trade policy indexes, we define an aggregate measure (Mercantilistic trade preference index – MTPI) of the trade preferential margins. The MTPI provides a method of aggregation that is consistent with a common objective of the preferential policies, since it focuses on the volume of exports. We compute the bilateral MTPIs for the preferences granted by the European Union to 162 exporters to assess how the market access granted by the EU preferential trade agreements does differ across sectors and countries.

description: This working paper documents a development of the standard Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model to improve the way agricultural land supply is represented in the model and to make it more useful for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of products. The usefulness of the modifications is demonstrated by analysing changes in global wheat supply and consequences for agricultural land use caused by an increase in US household demand for wheat. We find that the impacts of the modifications are small in terms of the global wheat supply responses, but considerable in terms of land use changes. We therefore conclude that improving the way agricultural land supply is represented in the model is crucial whenever land use changes are of interest, whereas the standard GTAP model is a reasonable approximation in analyses that do not focus on agricultural land resources.

description: The symmetry properties of the resistance of mesoscopic samples in the quantum Hall regime are investigated. In addition to the reciprocity relation, our samples obey new symmetries, that relate resistances measured with different contact configurations. Different kinds of symmetries are identified, depending on whether the magnetic field value is such that the system is above, or below, a quantum Hall transition. Related symmetries have recently been reported for macroscopic samples in the quantum Hall regime by Ponomarenko {\it et al.} (Solid State Commun. {\bf 130}, 705 (2004)), and Karmakar {\it et al.} (Preprint cond-mat/0309694).

description: We create hybrid topological-photonic localisation of light by introducing concepts from the field of topological matter to that of photonic crystal fiber arrays. S-polarized obliquely propagating electromagnetic waves are guided by hexagonal, and square, lattice topological systems along an array of infinitely conducting fibers. The theory utilises perfectly periodic arrays that, in frequency space, have gapped Dirac cones producing band gaps demarcated by pronounced valleys locally imbued with a nonzero local topological quantity. These broken symmetry-induced stop-bands allow for localised guidance of electromagnetic edge-waves along the crystal fiber axis. Finite element simulations, complemented by asymptotic techniques, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed designs for localising energy in finite arrays in a robust manner.
