description: Using science verification observations obtained with ESPRESSO at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 4UT mode, we report the first bound on the carbon isotope ratio 12C/13C of a quiescent, near-pristine damped Ly-alpha (DLA) system at z=2.34. We recover a limit log10(12C/13C) > +0.37 (2 sigma). We use the abundance pattern of this DLA, combined with a stochastic chemical enrichment model, to infer the properties of the enriching stars, finding the total gas mass of this system to be log10(M_gas/M_sun)=6.3+1.4-0.9 and the total stellar mass to be log10(M_*/M_sun)=4.8+/-1.3. The current observations disfavour enrichment by metal-poor Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars with masses <2.4 Msun, limiting the epoch at which this DLA formed most of its enriching stars. Our modelling suggests that this DLA formed very few stars until >1 Gyr after the cosmic reionization of hydrogen and, despite its very low metallicity (~1/1000 of solar), this DLA appears to have formed most of its stars in the past few hundred Myr. Combining the inferred star formation history with evidence that some of the most metal-poor DLAs display an elevated [C/O] ratio at redshift z<3, we suggest that very metal-poor DLAs may have been affected by reionization quenching. Finally, given the simplicity and quiescence of the absorption features associated with the DLA studied here, we use these ESPRESSO data to place a bound on the possible variability of the fine-structure constant, Delta alpha/alpha=(-1.2 +/- 1.1)x10^-5.

Subjects: Demand and Price Analysis

description: Most changes in quantity of meat demanded by U.S. consumers can be explained by changes in meat prices and in consumers' disposable income. Changes in consumer tastes and preferences are other factors that influence demand. These tend to change more slowly, but appear to be changing more rapidly in recent years due to changes in lifestyles, diet and health concerns and the rapid growth of fast foods and quick food preparation alternatives. This study analyzes demand for the four major meat groups: beef, pork, chicken and fish. This behavior was analyzed using national demand data relating to various meat prices and annual disposable consumer income. In addition, demand was analyzed for these same meat groups using cross ­sectional data from the Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (NFCS). The former method allows estimation of the national average per capita demand, while the latter allows estimation of demand for meat consumed at-home due to differences in socioeconomic variables and area of residence .

NMHDECAY: A Fortran Code for the Higgs Masses, Couplings and Decay Widths in the NMSSM

name: Gunion, John F.
name: Hugonie, Cyril
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Fortran code NMHDECAY computes the masses, couplings and decay widths of all Higgs bosons of the NMSSM in terms of its parameters at the electroweak (SUSY breaking) scale: the Yukawa couplings lambda and kappa, the soft trilinear terms A_lambda and A_kappa, and tan(beta) and mu_eff = lambda*. The computation of the spectrum includes leading two loop terms, electroweak corrections and propagator corrections. The computation of the decay widths is carried out as in HDECAY, but (for the moment) without three body decays. Each point in parameter space is checked against negative Higgs bosons searches at LEP, including unconventional channels relevant for the NMSSM. One version of the program uses generalized SLHA conventions for input and output.

description: We present an exact dynamical solution of a spherical version of the batch minority game (MG) with random external information. The control parameters in this model are the ratio of the number of possible values for the public information over the number of agents, and the radius of the spherical constraint on the microscopic degrees of freedom. We find a phase diagram with three phases: two without anomalous response (an oscillating versus a frozen state), and a further frozen phase with divergent integrated response. In contrast to standard MG versions, we can also calculate the volatility exactly. Our study reveals similarities between the spherical and the conventional MG, but also intriguing differences. Numerical simulations confirm our analytical results.

title: The evolution of the cemented habit in the bivalved molluscs
Creators: name: Harper, Elizabeth M
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1991

description: The ability to cement to a hard substratum has evolved repeatedly in the bivalved molluscs. Twenty clades of cementing bivalves have been identified from a broad range of bivalve taxa. Such polyphyletic acquisition of the habit raises a number of questions concerning the preadaptations which allow bivalves to cement and the selection pressures which favour this mode of attachment. Detailed examination of cementation in members of the Ostreidae reveals that a calcareous extra-periostracal cement is responsible for attachment. Spherulitic growth of cement, whose composition is identical to that of the shell layers, results in structures reminiscent of diagenetic cements. These observations suggest that extrapallial fluid leaks' through a permeable periostracum; resulting in precipitation of calcium carbonate between the periostracum and the substratum. Similar observations are made for most other living shell cementing bivalves, implying a convergence of mechanism. The only exception are the chamids which appear to utilise a weaker organic bond. Less than 10% of fossil Chamacea are preserved attached to their substrata, suggesting that this weaker mode of attachment has been employed in this superfamily throughout its evolutionary history. Having established a common mechanism by which most bivalves cement it is possible to suggest the possible preadaptations. Principal requirements are the possession of a thin and 'leaky' periostracum, a highly extensible mantle edge and a suitable life orientation. Indeed, most cementing bivalves have evolved from pleurothetic byssate stock. The Pectinidae, in which the cemented habit has evolved at least four times, are shown to possess these key preadaptations. Mytiloids have never cemented despite having members which have dwelt on hard substrates since the Ordovician. Examination of modem Mytilacea suggests that the group lacks all the fundamental preadaptations for cementation. There is little evidence to support the traditional view that cementation is an adaptation to life in a high energy environment. The independent appearance of many of the cementing clades during the early Mesozoic coincides with the increased predation pressure which has been documented for that time. A causal link is implied by experimental work: predators display a significant preference for more easily manipulated byssate prey.

description: The Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) paradigm of galaxy formation predicts that dense spheroidal stellar structures invariably grow at early cosmic time. These primordial spheroids evolve toward a virialized dynamical status as they finally become today's elliptical galaxies and large bulges at the center of disk galaxies. However, observations reveal that small bulges in spiral galaxies are common in the nearby universe. The prevailing belief that all small bulges form at later times from internal processes occurring in the disk represents a challenge for the ΛCDM scenario. Notably, the coevolution of bulges and central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at early phases of galaxy evolution is also at stake. However, observations have so far not provided conclusive evidence against their possible early origin. Here, we report new observations of small bulges showing that they follow the mass-velocity dispersion relation expected for virialized systems. Contrary to previous claims, small bulges bridge the gap between massive ellipticals and globular clusters. This dynamical picture supports a scenario where systems over seven orders of magnitude in stellar mass form at early cosmic time. These results alleviate the tension between ΛCDM simulations and observations at galactic scales. We hypothesize that these small bulges are actually the low-mass descendants of compact objects observed at high redshift, also known as red nuggets, which are consistently produced in cosmological ΛCDM simulations. Therefore, this also suggests that the established coevolution of SMBHs and large bulges naturally extends to spheroids in the low-mass regime.

description: • Introgression can be an important source of adaptive phenotypes, although conversely it can have deleterious effects. Evidence for adaptive introgression is accumulating but information on the genetic architecture of introgressed traits lags behind. • Here we determine trait architecture in Populus trichocarpa under introgression from P. balsamifera using admixture mapping and phenotypic analyses. • Our results reveal that admixture is a key driver of clinal adaptation and suggest that the northern range extension of P. trichocarpa depends, at least in part, on introgression from P. balsamifera. However, admixture with P. balsamifera can lead to potentially maladaptive early phenology and a reduction in growth and disease resistance in P. trichocarpa. Strikingly, an introgressed chromosome 9 haplotype block from P. balsamifera restores the late phenology and high growth parental phenotype in admixed P. trichocarpa. This epistatic restorer block may be strongly advantageous in maximizing carbon assimilation and disease resistance in the southernmost populations where admixture has been detected. We also confirm a previously demonstrated case of adaptive introgression in chromosome 15 and show that introgression generates a transgressive chlorophyll–content phenotype. • We provide strong support that introgression provides a reservoir of genetic variation associated with adaptive characters that allows improved survival in new environments.

description: The treatment of choice of bone defects with the transplantation of autologous graft has many problems such as painful surgeries and necrosis or graft failure caused by insufficient vascularization within the graft. In addressing these issues, bone tissue engineering with 3D scaffolds and modern developments in regenerative medicine provide the appropriate framework for the formation of new functional tissues. Thus, the aim of the present PhD thesis was the fabrication of bioactive polymeric–ceramic hybrid scaffolds focused on the enhancement of osteogenesis and angiogenesis, using mesoporous nanocarriers for the development of local drug delivery systems to prolonged and sustained release of drugs in-vitro or nano-fillers to obtain enhanced mechanical properties. The present doctoral dissertation titled " Hybrid polymeric/nano-ceramic scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration: Synthesis and investigation of structural and mechanical properties" was held at the Advanced Materials and Devices Laboratory (AMDeLab) of the Department of Physics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. In this dissertation the study of the synthesis of novel multifunctional hybrid ceramic-based scaffolds or polymeric-ceramic electrospun membranes with emphasis on the neovascularization of the regenerated bone took place. More specifically, the study was divided into two parts, where biomaterials were prepared with "green" low-cost techniques and it was performed the complete structural characterization. Also, in this research the biological response, the ability to encapsulate and release biomolecules and the mechanical properties of the hybrid scaffolds were studied.

title: Teratology and the development of pattern in Drosophila
Creators: name: Matheson, Alastair
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1991

description: This study investigates the developmental effects of permeabilisation, and subsequent physiological perturbations, on the embryo of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, an organism studied predominantly by genetic techniques. A variety of abnormal syndromes, elicited by specific treatments and at specific stages of development, are investigated. Their implications for pattern formation in Drosophila, and their relationship to the genetic organisation of the system, are discussed. Among the principal conclusions of the study are that the regulation of size and the organisation of the terminal regions are critically related to cell-state, in a stage-related fashion; that specific regions of physiological sensitivity are associated with the organisation of the anteroposterior pattern; and that dorsoventral pattern formation appears to pass through specific sensitive periods, in which a variety of specific factors play important but subtly differing roles. Further phenotypes are also investigated, which cast light on the obscure mechanisms involved in the co-ordination of the anteroposterior and dorsoventral axial systems. The results as a whole are used to construct a picture of the dynamic cellular organisation of early insect embryos and discussed in an evolutionary context. The principal techniques used in this study are teratological: they make deductions about the early organisation of pattern from the range of aberrant final forms generated by developmental shock. The role and status of this methodology in modem embryology are ambiguous, reflecting both the emergence of more forensic analytical techniques, and deep philosophical dilemmas bound-up with the history of ontogenetic studies. This history is explored in detail to reveal the theoretical problems still facing the science.The value of teratology is finally reconsidered, with regard both to theoretical issues, and in the light of the practical studies carried out for this thesis.

description: Supermassive black hole (SMBH) feeding and feedback processes are often considered as disjoint and studied independently at different scales, both in observations and simulations. We encourage to adopt and unify three physically-motivated scales for feeding and feedback (micro - meso - macro ~ mpc - kpc - Mpc), linking them in a tight multiphase self-regulated loop. We pinpoint the key open questions related to this global SMBH unification problem, while advocating for the extension of novel mechanisms best observed in massive halos (such as chaotic cold accretion) down to low-mass systems. To solve such challenges, we provide a set of recommendations that promote a multiscale, multiwavelength, and interdisciplinary community.

description: We report the discovery, by the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS), of two hot-Jupiters NGTS-8b and NGTS-9b. These orbit a V = 13.68 K0V star (Teff = 5241 +/- 50 K) with a period of 2.49970 days, and a V = 12.80 F8V star (Teff = 6330 +/- 130 K) in 4.43527 days, respectively. The transits were independently verified by follow-up photometric observations with the SAAO 1.0-m and Euler telescopes, and we report on the planetary parameters using HARPS, FEROS and CORALIE radial velocities. NGTS-8b has a mass, 0.93 +0.04 -0.03 MJ and a radius, 1.09 +/- 0.03 RJ similar to Jupiter, resulting in a density of 0.89 +0.08 -0.07 g cm-3. This is in contrast to NGTS-9b, which has a mass of 2.90 +/- 0.17 MJ and a radius of 1.07 +/- 0.06 RJ , resulting in a much greater density of 2.93 +0.53 -0.49 g cm-3. Statistically, the planetary parameters put both objects in the regime where they would be expected to exhibit larger than predicted radii. However, we find that their radii are in agreement with predictions by theoretical non-inflated models.

description: The Pristine survey uses narrow-band photometry to derive precise metallicities down to the extremely metal-poor regime ([Fe/H] < -3), and currently consists of over 4 million FGK-type stars over a sky area of $\sim 2~500\, \mathrm{deg}^2$. We focus our analysis on a subsample of $\sim 80~000$ main sequence turnoff stars with heliocentric distances between 6 and 20 kpc, which we take to be a representative sample of the inner halo. The resulting metallicity distribution function (MDF) has a peak at [Fe/H] = -1.6, and a slope of $Δ$(LogN)/$Δ[Fe/H] = 1.0 \pm 0.1$ in the metallicity range of -3.4 < [Fe/H] < -2.5. This agrees well with a simple closed-box chemical enrichment model in this range, but is shallower than previous spectroscopic MDFs presented in the literature, suggesting that there may be a larger proportion of metal-poor stars in the inner halo than previously reported. We identify the Monoceros/TriAnd/ACS/EBS/A13 structure in metallicity space in a low latitude field in the anticenter direction, and also discuss the possibility that the inner halo is dominated by a single, large merger event, but cannot strongly support or refute this idea with the current data. Finally, based on the MDF of field stars, we estimate the number of expected metal-poor globular clusters in the Milky Way halo to be 5.4 for [Fe/H] < -2.5 and 1.5 for [Fe/H] < -3, suggesting that the lack of low metallicity globular clusters in the Milky Way is not due simply to statistical undersampling.

description: Η επιλογή της παρούσας έρευνας αφορά στην αποτύπωση στοιχείων που συνδέουν μη θρησκευτικές κινηματογραφικές ταινίες με ζητήματα που άπτονται του θρησκευτικού- ανθρωπολογικού ενδιαφέροντος. Ο κινηματογράφος είναι τέχνη που διηγείται ιστορίες με συμπήξεις κινήσεων διάρκειας (blocs de mouvements / durée). Τα στοιχεία που συνθέτουν τον κινηματογράφο είναι οι εικόνες και τα σημεία, τα οποία δημιουργούν σκέψεις και φέρνουν στο φως μηνύματα και συναισθήματα. Η παρούσα έρευνα στοχεύει στην ανάδειξη εμφανών και κρυμμένων στοιχείων σχετικών με ανθρωπολογικά ζητήματα στην ηθική τους διάσταση, σε επιλεγμένο δείγμα όχι καθαρά θρησκευτικών ταινιών,-με θεματολογία Προσκυνηματικού ταξιδιού του ευρωπαϊκού κινηματογράφου του 21ου αιώνα. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, για την ολοκλήρωση της έρευνας, έγινε προσέγγιση επιλεγμένων, στη βάση σειράς κριτηρίων, μη θρησκευτικών ταινιών και αναλύθηκαν ο τύπος και το είδος τους, η κινηματογραφική μορφή τους, το κινηματογραφικό ύφος και η κινηματογράφηση. Στη συνέχεια, αναδείχθηκαν και αναλύθηκαν, ως προς την ηθική τους διάσταση, τα ανθρωπολογικά ζητήματα -με αφορμή έναν προσκυνητή και τις εμπειρίες του απ’ το ταξίδι -και στοιχεία που ενυπάρχουν στις ταινίες. Τέλος, καταγράφηκαν τα κρυμμένα και εμφανή θρησκευτικά- ανθρωπολογικά μηνύματα σε συνάρτηση με τη δυνατότητά τους να παρακινούν τον θεατή σε έναν ηθικό ανασυλλογισμό και σε μια αξιακή επανατοποθέτηση απέναντι στο Θεό και στον συν-άνθρωπο.
description: The selection of this research regards the elements’ record that link non-religious films to religious-anthropological concern issues. Cinema is a performing art that narrates stories with compressed long-lasting movements (blocs de mouvements / durée). The facts that compose the cinema are images and points that create thoughts and lighten messages and emotions. This research aims at highlighting obvious and hidden notions regarding anthropological issues in their ethical dimension, in a selected sample of non-religious films-with pilgrimage premises- of the 21st century’s European cinema. More specifically, in order to complete this research, selected, based on a series of criteria, non-religious films got approached and analyzed their type and kind, their cinematographic form, the cinematographic style and the filming methods. Furthermore, the movies’ inherent anthropological issues and notions, by the cause of a pilgrim and his/her experiences from the pilgrimage, were highlighted and analyzed, in their ethical dimension. Finally, the movies’ hidden and obvious religious-anthropological messages got gathered and recorded according to their ability to motivate the viewer in a moral reasoning and in a valuing reposition towards God and fellow-man.

title: Responding to restructuring: The geography of trade union responses to the restructuring of local government services in Britain, 1979-89
Creators: name: Painter, Joseph Matthew
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1991

description: This thesis considers the development of policies and practices by trade unions and their members in response to changes in the way services are provided by British local authorities. The research was conducted in the context of debates about the changing fortunes of the trade union movement, and these are outlined. The particular set of practices associated with public service trade unionism in the 1970s developed during the emergence of the crisis of the ‘Fordist mode of regulation’. Drawing on the French regulation school of political economy the study discusses the characteristics of the ‘neo-liberal’ path to post-Fordism adopted by the British government during the 1980s, and its implications for local government trade unions and local government services. Trade union responses to the policies which constitute this path are examined at both the national and local level, in the latter case through four detailed case studies of Newcastle, Manchester, Wandsworth and Milton Keynes. The nature of the trade unions’ response in each case is considered in terms of the idea of overlapping networks of ‘locales’ or settings for action, and the resulting uneven geographical development of new forms of trade union action is highlighted. The concept of ‘locale’ emphasises the way in which aspects of settings form part of the resources of action itself. Through a discussion of the work of David Harvey, this is considered further in an examination of the ways in which ‘place’ and ‘community’ can be sources of radicalism for the trade unions. The study concludes with a consideration of the implications of the geographical constitution and geographical expression of trade union action for the transition from the Fordist mode of regulation.

description: This paper analysed the relationship between crude oil price volatility and Nigerian• Gross Domestic Products (proxy for growth of Nigerian economy) for the period 1970 to 2016 with Gareh (1, I) model and Vector autoregressive (VAR) model. The result of Arch test confirmed that crude oil price is significantly volatile while analysis of the result of trend of crude oil price volatility from 1970 to 2016 revealed that the 1973-74, 1979-80, 2003-2007, 2010-2014 boom periods were associated with crude oil price increases while the oil price collapse of 1986-2000 and near recession indices of year 2015-2016 is an episode of crude oil price fall.The resultofVARestimation revealed that there is a statistically significant, direct relationship between crude oil price volatility (COP) and gross domestic product (GDP} in the short run. Also, impulse response function showed that shock in crude oil prices has both positive and negative effect on gross domestic product in the short~ depending on whether the shock from crude oil price is an increase or a decrease (positive or negative) which might implied period of economic recession or prosperity. The paper therefore recommended that governments at all levels should intensify their efforts in diversifying the economy to a more productive and less volatile sector like agriculture in order to improve agricultural products export instead of total and heavy reliance on rents from crude oil export whose price is highly volatile and to insulate the economy against these shocks (decrease in oil prices) and its attendant consequences.
