description: The past two decades have seen dramatic progress in our knowledge of the population of young stars of age $< 200\,$Myr that lie within $150\,$pc of the Sun. These nearby, young stars, most of which are found in loose, comoving groups, provide the opportunity to explore (among many other things) the dissolution of stellar clusters and their diffusion into the field star population. Here, we exploit the combination of astrometric and photometric data from {\it Gaia} and photometric data from GALEX (UV) and 2MASS (near-IR) in an attempt to identify additional nearby, young, late-type stars. Specifically, we present a sample of 146 GALEX UV-selected late-type (predominantly K-type) field stars with {\it Gaia}-based distances $< 125\,$pc (based on {\it Gaia} Data Release 1) that have isochronal ages $< 80\,$Myr even if equal-components binaries. We investigate the spectroscopic and kinematic properties of this sample. Despite their young isochronal ages, only $\sim 10$ per cent) of stars among this sample can be confidently associated with established nearby, young moving groups (MGs). These candidate MG members include 5 stars newly identified in this study. The vast majority of our sample of 146 nearby young star candidates have anomalous kinematics relative to the known MGs. These stars may hence represent a previously unrecognised population of young stars that has recently mixed into the older field star population. We discuss the implications and caveats of such a hypothesis---including the intriguing fact that, in addition to their non-young-star-like kinematics, the majority of the UV-selected, isochronally young field stars within $50\,$pc appear surprisingly X-ray faint.

description: We derive a star catalogue generated from the images taken as part of the 37.5 sq. deg Millennium Galaxy Catalogue. These data, alone and together with colours gained from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release, allow the analysis of faint star counts (B(MGC) < 20) at high Galactic latitude (41 < b < 63), as a function of Galactic longitude (239 < l < 353). We focus here on the inner stellar halo, providing robust limits on the amplitude of substructure and on the large-scale flattening. In line with previous results, the thick disk, an old, intermediate-metallicity population, is clearly seen in the colour-magnitude diagram. We find that the Galactic stellar halo within ~10 kpc (the bulk of the stellar mass) is significantly flattened, with an axial ratio of (c/a) =0.56 +/- 0.01, again consistent with previous results. Our analysis using counts-in-cells, angular correlation functions and the Lee 2D statistic, confirms tidal debris from the Sagittarius dwarf but finds little evidence for other substructure in the inner halo, at heliocentric distances of < 5 kpc. This new quantification of the smoothness in coordinate space limits the contribution of recent accretion/disruption to the build-up of the bulk of the stellar halo.

description: This review is devoted to dynamical systems in fields of $p$-adic numbers: origin of $p$-adic dynamics in $p$-adic theoretical physics (string theory, quantum mechanics and field theory, spin glasses), continuous dynamical systems and discrete dynamical systems. The main attention is paid to discrete dynamical systems - iterations of maps in the field of $p$-adic numbers (or their algebraic extensions): conjugate maps, ergodicity, random dynamical systems, behaviour of cycles, holomorphic dynamics. dynamical systems in finite fields. We also discuss applications of $p$-adic discrete dynamical systems to cognitive sciences and psychology.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one the most common types of dementia. Plaques of amyloid beta and neurofibrillary tangles of tau are two major hallmarks of AD. Metabolism of these two proteins, in part, depends on autophagy pathways. Autophagy dysfunction and protein aggregation in AD may be involved in a vicious circle. The aim of this study was to investigate whether tau or amyloid beta 42 (Aβ42) could affect expression of autophagy genes, and whether they exert their effects in the same way or not. Expression levels of some autophagy genes, Hook, Atg6, Atg8, and Cathepsin D, were measured using quantitative PCR in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster expressing either Aβ42 or Tau R406W. We found that Hook mRNA levels were downregulated in Aβ42-expressing flies both 5 and 25 days old, while they were increased in 25-day-old flies expressing Tau R406W. Both Atg6 and Atg8 were upregulated at day 5 and then downregulated in 25-day-old flies expressing either Aβ42 or Tau R406W. Cathepsin D expression levels were significantly increased in 5-day-old flies expressing Tau R406W, while there was no significant change in the expression levels of this gene in 5-day-old flies expressing Aβ42. Expression levels of Cathepsin D were significantly decreased in 25-day-old transgenic flies expressing Tau R406W or Aβ42. We conclude that both Aβ42 and Tau R406W may affect autophagy through dysregulation of autophagy genes. Interestingly, it seems that these pathological proteins exert their toxic effects on autophagy through different pathways and independently.

description: This study evaluates the effectiveness of a point of purchase advertising program conducted for two local horticultural brands in Texas. The results based on surveys gathered before and after the program was launched suggest that the campaign size was not sufficient to significantly increase brand awareness and overall demand, yet it increased willingness to pay by 5.5% for those consumers aware of one of the brands. A major factor found to increase willingness to pay and likelihood of brand awareness was purchase frequency measured in transactions per month, which suggests that other advertising methods aimed to increase buying frequency might affect demand more effectively.

description: We present the universal two-loop splitting functions that describe the limits of two-loop $n$-point amplitudes of massless particles when two of the momenta are collinear. To derive the splitting amplitudes, we take the collinear limits of explicit two-loop four-point helicity amplitudes computed in the 't Hooft-Veltman scheme. The $g \to gg$ splitting amplitude has recently been computed using the unitarity sewing method and we find complete agreement with the results of Ref. \cite{Bern:2lsplit}. The two-loop $q \to qg$ and $g \to q\bar q$ splitting functions are new results. We also provide an expression for the two-loop soft splitting function.

description: We investigate the prevalence of galactic-scale outflows in post-starburst (PSB) galaxies at high redshift ($1 < z < 1.4$), using the deep optical spectra available in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS). We use a sample of $\sim40$ spectroscopically confirmed PSBs, recently identified in the UDS field, and perform a stacking analysis in order to analyse the structure of strong interstellar absorption features such as Mg ii ($\lambda2800$ Ang.). We find that for massive ($M_* > 10^{10}\rm\,M_{\odot}$) PSBs at $z > 1$, there is clear evidence for a strong blue-shifted component to the Mg ii absorption feature, indicative of high-velocity outflows ($v_{\rm out}\sim1150\pm160\rm\,km\,s^{-1}$) in the interstellar medium. We conclude that such outflows are typical in massive PSBs at this epoch, and potentially represent the residual signature of a feedback process that quenched these galaxies. Using full spectral fitting, we also obtain a typical stellar velocity dispersion $σ_*$ for these PSBs of $\sim200\rm\,km\,s^{-1}$, which confirms they are intrinsically massive in nature (dynamical mass $M_{\rm d}\sim10^{11}\rm\,M_{\odot}$). Given that these high-$z$ PSBs are also exceptionally compact ($r_{\rm e}\sim1$--$2\rm\,kpc$) and spheroidal (Sersic index $n\sim3$), we propose that the outflowing winds may have been launched during a recent compaction event (e.g. major merger or disc collapse) that triggered either a centralised starburst or active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity. Finally, we find no evidence for AGN signatures in the optical spectra of these PSBs, suggesting they were either quenched by stellar feedback from the starburst itself, or that if AGN feedback is responsible, the AGN episode that triggered quenching does not linger into the post-starburst phase.

description: We aim to determine the distribution of basaltic asteroids (classified as V-types) based on the spectrophotometric data reported in the MOVIS-C catalogue. A total of 782 asteroids were identified. The observations with all four filters (Y, J, H, Ks), available for 297 of these candidates, allow a reliable comparison with the laboratory data of howardite, eucrite, and diogenite meteorites. We found that the majority of the basaltic candidates ($\approx$ 95$\%$) are located in the inner main belt, while only 29 ($\approx$ 4$\%$) and 8 ($\approx$ 1$\%$) are located in the middle and outer main belt, respectively. A fraction of $\approx$ 33$\%$ from the V-type candidates is associated with the Vesta family (with respect to AstDyS). We also identified four middle main belt V-type candidates belonging to (15) Eunomia family, and another four low inclination ones corresponding to (135) Hertha. We report differences between the color indices and albedo distributions of the V-type candidates located in the inner main belt compared to those from the middle and outer main belt. These results support the hypothesis of a different origin for the basaltic asteroids with a semi-major axis beyond 2.5 A.U. Furthermore, lithological differences are present between the vestoids and the inner low inclination basaltic asteroids. The data allow us to estimate the unbiased distribution of basaltic asteroids across the main asteroid belt. We highlight that at least 80$\%$ of the ejected basaltic material from (4) Vesta is missing or is not yet detected because it is fragmented in sizes smaller than 1 km.

description: A technique to simulate the grand canonical ensembles of interacting Bose gases is presented. Results are generated for many temperatures by averaging over energy-weighted stochastic paths, each corresponding to a solution of coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations with phase-noise. The stochastic gauge method used relies on an off-diagonal coherent-state expansion, thus taking into account all quantum correlations. As an example, the second order spatial correlation function and momentum distribution for an interacting 1D Bose gas are calculated.

description: O Rio Grande do Sul é um dos maiores produtores de pescado do Brasil, sendo que dentre os municípios de maior expressão nessa atividade no estado, destaca-se o do Rio Grande. O presente trabalho tem por finalidade realizar uma análise das margens de comercialização do pescado no município do Rio Grande, no período de Junho de 2004 a Janeiro de 2006, utilizando-se duas espécies de pescado comumente pescadas e consumidas na região, sendo que uma de maior valor comercial e outra de menor valor. A respeito dessas espécies, são calculadas as margens brutas de comercialização, a tendência e composição das margens, a política de margem adotada e a elasticidade de transmissão de preços. Os resultados encontrados, mostraram uma estabilidade no que diz respeito às margens brutas de comercialização, para ambas espécies de pescado. Mostraram também, que os varejistas trabalham com uma margem de ganho fixa sobre o preço do produtor, e que os comerciantes finais adotam uma política de margem crescente. Quanto à elasticidade de transmissão dos preços, pode-se observar que as variações nos preços dos produtores não são significativas na formação do preço pago pelo consumidor final.

description: We explore the connection between the stellar component of galaxies and their host halos during the epoch of reionization ($5 \leq z\leq10$) using the CROC (Cosmic Reionization on Computers) simulations. We compare simulated galaxies with observations and find that CROC underpredicts the abundance of luminous galaxies when compared to observed UV luminosity functions, and analogously the most massive galaxies when compared to observed stellar mass functions. We can trace the deficit of star formation to high redshifts, where the slope of the star formation rate to stellar mass relation is consistent with observations, but the normalization is systematically low. This results in a star formation rate density and stellar mass density that is systematically offset from observations. However, the less luminous or lower stellar mass objects have luminosities and stellar masses that agree fairly well with observational data. We explore the stellar-to-halo mass ratio, a key quantity that is difficult to measure at high redshifts and that models do not consistently predict. In CROC, the stellar-to-halo mass ratio {\it decreases} with redshift, a trend opposite to some abundance matching studies. These discrepancies uncover where future effort should be focused in order to improve the fidelity of modeling cosmic reionization. We also compare the CROC galaxy bias with observational measurements using Lyman-Break Galaxy (LBG) samples. The good agreement of simulation and data shows that the clustering of dark matter halos is properly captured in CROC.

description: Features in the distribution of exoplanet parameters by period demonstrate that the distribution of planet parameters is rich with information that can provide essential guidance to understanding planet histories. Structure has been found in the counts of planet-star "objects" by period, and within these structures, there are different correlations of eccentricity with planet number, stellar metallicity, planet count density per log period, stellar multiplicity, and planet mass. These appear to change with each other, and with stellar mass, but there are too few planets to easily and reliably study these important relationships. These relationships are the bulk observables against which the theory of planet formation and evolution must be tested. The opportunity to determine the nature of the relationships of the exoplanet parameters on each other demonstrate the value of finding more planets across period ranging from days to thousands of days and beyond. We recommend support for continuing to find more planets, even giant planets, with periods up to periods of a few thousand days. We also recommend support for the study of the distribution of the many exoplanet parameters.

description: One of the most significant drawbacks of the all-electron ab initio diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) is that its computational cost drastically increases with the atomic number ($Z$), which typically scales with $Z^{\sim 6}$. In this study, we introduce an algorithm based on a very efficient implementation of the Lattice Regularized Diffusion Monte Carlo (LRDMC), where the conventional time discretization is replaced by its lattice space counterpart. This scheme enables us to conveniently adopt a small lattice space in the vicinity of nuclei, and a large one in the valence region, by which a considerable speedup is achieved, especially for large atomic number $Z$. Indeed, the computational performances of our algorithm can be theoretically established by using the Thomas-Fermi model for heavy atoms, yielding an almost affordable scaling with the atomic number, i.e., $Z^{\sim 5}$. This opens the way for efficient and accurate all-electron ab initio DMC in electronic structure calculations.

An essential part of the HLT is the supervision system, which is responsible for configuring, coordinating, controlling and monitoring the many hundreds of processes running in the HLT. A prototype implementation of the supervision system, using tools from the ATLAS Online Software system is presented. Results from scalability tests are also presented where the supervision system was shown to be capable of controlling over 1000 HLT processes running on 230 nodes.

description: We report the first detection of CO J = 3-2 around a truly metal-poor evolved star. RU Vulpeculae is modelled to have Teff ~ 3620 K, L ~ 3128 +/- 516 L_Sun, log(g) = 0.0 ~ 0.2 dex and [Fe/H] = -1.3 to -1.0 dex, and is modelled to have recently undergone a thermal pulse. Its infrared flux has approximately doubled over 35 years. ALMA observations show the 3-2 line is narrow (half-width ~1.8-3.5 km/s). The 2-1 line is much weaker: it is not confidently detected. Spectral-energy-distribution fitting indicates very little circumstellar absorption, despite its substantial mid-infrared emission. A VISIR mid-infrared spectrum shows features typical of previously observed metal-poor stars, dominated by a substantial infrared excess but with weak silicate and (possibly) Al2O3 emission. A lack of resolved emission, combined with weak 2!1 emission, indicates the dense circumstellar material is truncated at large radii. We suggest that rapid dust condensation is occurring, but with an aspherical geometry (e.g., a disc or clumps) that does not obscure the star. We compare with T UMi, a similar star which is currently losing its dust.

description: We study the impact of public quality standards on industry structure and trade when firms may be able to develop their own private standard with a higher quality than the public standard. To reach our goal, we introduce vertical differentiation in an international trade model based on monopolistic competition in which firms differ in terms of their productivity and select non cooperatively the quality of their product. Firms must incur two fixed export costs when exporting to any given destination: a generic one (i.e., setting up a distribution system) and a destination‐specific one to meet the quality standard prevailing in the importing country. Variable costs are also increasing in quality. Not surprisingly, the absolute mass of firms in any given country is decreasing in the domestic standard, but contrary to popular wisdom, the relative mass (market share) of foreign firms is increasing in the domestic standard. A relatively lower (higher) wage (labour endowment) in the exporting country helps foreign firms gain market share in the domestic market. We also show that the ratio of minimum productivity required for foreign firms and for domestic firms to be active in the domestic market is increasing in trade costs, but decreasing in quality. The implication for public policy is that lowering tariffs and increasing quality standards benefit highly productive foreign firms which gain from the quality‐induced exit of less productive domestic and foreign firms. Welfare is concave with respect to quality and governments have an incentive to impose standards, but some firms have an incentive to impose higher private standards.

description: Specific tariffs are more commonly applied in agriculture than in the rest of the economy. We argue that the volatility of agricultural commodity markets is a contributing factor by showing that higher expected welfare can be achieved with the optimal specific tariff than with its ad valorem counterpart in the presence of volatile market conditions in the exporting countries. Contrary to popular wisdom, more volatility does not warrant higher tariffs unless the distribution of the foreign autarky price is negatively skewed. For arbitrary specific tariffs, the transformation into ad valorem equivalents may decrease or increase the volume of trade and the world price. We also show that countries with more restrictive specific tariffs are less likely to pursue tariff simplification. We estimate a gravity model about beef trade and find that specific tariffs have a small reducing effect, beyond the effect stemming from their ad valorem equivalent rate.

description: Continuous habitability of a planet is a critical condition for advanced forms of life to appear, but it can be endangered by astronomical events such as stellar encounters. The purpose of this study is to analyze close stellar encounters able to change planetary orbits initially in circumstellar habitable zones and to investigate the expected encounter rates in a variety of stellar environments. Using gravitational simulations for three-body systems, this study analyzed the dependencies of encounter impact-parameters with kinematic, geometric, and habitability parameters of the system. We also used kinematic properties of various stellar regions and estimated encounter rates of the events. The expected number of threatening stellar encounters in the Solar neighborhood is $\approx3.9\times10^{-4}$ in 4 billion years, while for the Galactic bulge environment, we expect approximately 5.5 times the value. The encounter rates for other stellar environments are calculated and spheroidal dwarf galaxies and globular clusters encounter rates are estimated. The results show that in contrast with the solar neighborhood, close stellar encounters can play a significant role in the expected number of planets with continuous habitability in dense stellar environments. Another notable result shows that threatening stellar encounter rate follows the number density of stars, and is not strongly dependent of the region's velocity dispersion. Further investigations are needed to study long-term multiple planetary systems and how they can change the overall expected value of continuously habitable planets.

description: We introduce the Gaussian quantum operator representation, using the most general multi-mode Gaussian operator basis. The representation unifies and substantially extends existing phase-space representations of density matrices for Bose systems, and also includes generalized squeezed-state and thermal bases. It enables first-principles dynamical or equilibrium calculations in quantum many-body systems, with quantum uncertainties appearing as dynamical objects. Any quadratic Liouville equation for the density operator results in a purely deterministic time evolution. Any cubic or quartic master equation can be treated using stochastic methods.

description: The paper examines the comparative advantage of Uganda’s exports to the East African Community (EAC) partner states, and how it has evolved during the implementation of the EAC treaty. In addition, the paper seeks to identify commodities that Uganda should specialize in as a basis to enhance the ability to benefit from the special preferential treatment extended to Uganda by China. The paper applies various indices in the measurement of Uganda’s Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) on all products at Harmonised System (HS4)-digit product levels. The HS4-digit product level data was obtained from World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS) UNCTAD COMTRADE database. The empirical evidence of Uganda’s comparative advantage in this context is largely dependent on the individual country under consideration. However, it is evident that Uganda’s list of commodities for exports to the EAC partner states is rapidly expanding and the RCA has increased especially during the implementation of the Customs Union. This is plausibly explained by the removal of internal tariffs along Uganda’s borders with the EAC partner countries and the adoption of a common external tariff. The paper therefore recommends that the identified list of commodities with RCA should be the basis for strategically informing the Uganda industrialization strategy within the context of further EAC integration. Uganda has RCA in only 234 product lines from the list of 4,401 HS 6-digit level disaggregation, suggesting that Uganda will minimally benefit on the basis of revealed comparative advantage. As an alternative, Uganda should explore policy options that could address supply constraints in a bid to increase the range of products Uganda could export to China, as well as the regional Partner States.

description: The main objective of this paper was to conduct Programs Budget Analysis of the water sub-sector in Uganda over the period 1999/00 to 2009/10 in order to gain an understanding of sources of funding and the way funds were allocated to different programs. This sub sector has been identified as one of the sectors that can greatly accelerate the stride towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. The Directorate of Water Development has highlighted provision of sustainable safe drinking water supply to 77 percent of the rural population as well as 100 percent to the urban population by the year 2015. This set target is based on management responsibility and ownership by the users, with an 80 percent-90 percent effective use and functionality of facilities”. Using data on expenditure outturns from Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, the study established that with limited resources available, the allocative efficiency has been high as non wage expenditure has overtime attracted the highest allocation as compared to wages. Besides, the development expenditure has seen over reliance mainly on domestic funds with less reliance on fluctuating donor commitments. To sustain provision of safe water in both rural and urban, the water sub-sector should develop human resource capacity to match with the level of infrastructure development and operations and maintenance plans should equally be focused on.

description: Abstract - This research paper explores the complex intersection of feminism and mental health in female athletes in India. Female athletes in the country often face a unique set of societal pressures that stem from both traditional gender roles and contemporary expectations, profoundly influencing their mental well-being. By examining the cultural context, including the impact of societal expectations, media representation, and systemic inequities, this paper underscores the necessity of advocating for improved mental health support for female athletes as part of broader feminist movements in India.

description: UR-1102, a novel uricosuric agent for treating gout, has been confirmed to exhibit a pharmacological effect in patients. We clarified its metabolic pathway, estimated the contribution of each metabolic enzyme, and assessed the impact of genetic polymorphisms using human in vitro materials.Glucuronide, sulfate and oxidative metabolites of UR-1102 were detected in human hepatocytes.The intrinsic clearance by glucuronidation or oxidation in human liver microsomes was comparable, but sulfation in the cytosol was much lower, indicating that the rank order of contribution was glucuronidation ≥ oxidation > sulfation.Recombinant UGT1A1 and UGT1A3 showed high glucuronidation of UR-1102. We took advantage of a difference in the inhibitory sensitivity of atazanavir to the UGT isoforms and estimated the fraction metabolised (fm) with UGT1A1 to be 70%.Studies using recombinant CYPs and CYP isoform-specific inhibitors showed that oxidation was mediated exclusively by CYP2C9.The effect of UGT1A1 and CYP2C9 inhibitors on UR-1102 metabolism in hepatocytes did not differ markedly between the wild type and variants.
