description: Anisotropic flow coefficients and their fluctuations are investigated for Au+Au collisions at center of mass energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV by using a multi-phase transport model with string melting scenario. Experimental results of azimuthal anisotropies by means of the two- and four-particle cumulants are generally well reproduced by the model including both parton cascade and hadronic rescatterings. Event-by-event treatments of the harmonic flow coefficients $v_n$ (for n = 2, 3 and 4) are performed, in which event distributions of $v_n$ for different orders are consistent with Gaussian shapes over all centrality bins. Systematic studies on centrality, transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) and pseudo-rapidity ($η$) dependencies of anisotropic flows and quantitative estimations of the flow fluctuations are presented. The $p_{T}$ and $η$ dependencies of absolute fluctuations for both $v_2$ and $v_3$ follow similar trends as their flow coefficients. Relative fluctuation of triangular flow $v_3$ is slightly centrality-dependent, which is quite different from that of elliptic flow $v_2$. It is observed that parton cascade has a large effect on the flow fluctuations, but hadronic scatterings make little contribution to the flow fluctuations, which indicates flow fluctuations are mainly modified during partonic evolution stage.

description: We present a large-scale clustering analysis of radio galaxies in the Very Large Array (VLA) Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-cm (FIRST) survey over the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey area, limited to S1.4 GHz >1 mJy with spectroscopic and photometric redshift limits up to r < 19.8 and r < 22 mag, respectively. For the GAMA spectroscopic matches, we present the redshift-space and projected correlation functions, the latter of which yielding a correlation length r0 ~ 8.2 Mpc/h and linear bias of ~1.9 at z ~ 0.34. Furthermore, we use the angular two-point correlation function w(θ) to determine spatial clustering properties at higher redshifts. We find r0 to increase from ~6 to ~14 Mpc/h between z = 0.3 and z = 1.55, with the corresponding bias increasing from ~2 to ~10 over the same range. Our results are consistent with the bias prescription implemented in the SKADS simulations at low redshift, but exceed these predictions at z > 1. This is indicative of an increasing (rather than fixed) halo mass and/or AGN fraction at higher redshifts or a larger typical halo mass for the more abundant FRI sources.

description: Human tumour tissue transplanted to and passed through immunodeficient mice as xenografts make powerful model systems to study tumour biology, in particular to investigate the dynamics of treatment responses, e.g. to chemotherapeutic agents. Before embarking on large-scale gene expression analysis of chemotherapy response in human sarcoma xenografts, we investigated the reproducibility of expression patterns derived from such samples. We compared expression profiles from tumours from the same or different mice and of various sizes, as well as central and peripheral parts of the same tumours. Twenty-three microarray hybridisations were performed on cDNA arrays representing 13000 genes, using direct labelling of target cDNAs. An ANOVA-based linear mixed-effects model was constructed, and variances of experimental and biological factors contributing to variability were estimated. With our labelling procedure used, the effect of switching the dyes was pronounced compared to all other factors. We detected a small variation in gene expression between two tumours in the same mouse as well as between tumours from different mice. Furthermore, central or peripheral position in the tumour had only moderate influence on the variability of the expression profiles. The biological variability was comparable to experimental variability caused by labelling, confirming the importance of both biological and technical replicates. We further analysed the data by pair-wise Fisher’s linear discriminant method and identified genes that were significantly differentially expressed between samples taken from peripheral or central parts of the tumours. Finally, we evaluated the result of pooling biological samples to estimate the recommended number of arrays and hybridisations for microarray experiments in this model.

Non-human Primates in Biomedical Research

Year: 2014

description: Although non-human primates (NHP) account for less than a fraction of one percent of all of the animals used for biomedical research, their many similarities to humans make them vital, and presently irreplaceable, models for humans for certain types of research (Hau et al., 2000). The most common areas of research in which NHP are used include microbiology (including HIV/AIDS), neuroscience and biochemistry/ chemistry. Several of the Old World monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops, Macaca mulatta, M. fascicularis and Papio spp.) are the most commonly used species for research (Carlsson et al., 2004). Based on all articles published in 2001, it has recently been estimated that the global number of NHP used in research, including those participating in more than one protocol, is in the vicinity of 100,000-200,000 animals annually (Carlsson et al., 2004). The authors of the present paper were invited to give evidence to the joint Academy of Medical Sciences/Medical Research Council/Royal Society/Wellcome Trust study into the use of non-human primates in research, and this article is therefore addressed to the joint committee.

title: Field Test of a Quantum Key Distribution System
Creators: name: Nikiforov, Oleg
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: Increasing computational power of classical and quantum computers endangers the existing public key cryptography. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is one of the solutions for this problem. In the past decades a zoo of protocols was suggested and implemented, first companies for quantum communication were founded and first countries started to
integrate QKD into their communication infrastructure. However, the high costs and the lack of genuine QKD networks without trusted nodes make it difficult for the technology to gain widespread acceptance.

The present work describes the setup and the performance of a two-party QKD system, using a time-bin encoding variant of the Bennet-Brassard-Mermin 92 protocol in a realworld telecommunication environment inside a typical operating room at the Network Innovation Center of Deutsche Telekom Technik GmbH. This system is a milestone for a star-shaped QKD network, consisting of a centrally located qubit source, distributing the qubits to several identical receivers located elsewhere.

The main challenge for building such networks is the assembly and operation of identical fiber-based Michelson interferometers, whose arm-length differences must match within the micrometer range. During this work a suitable method was developed. It consists of two steps: a precise pre-cut of interferometer components and mechanical stretching of
the fiber in one interferometer arm, until the residual mismatch is compensated. This method allows for assembly of arbitrary many identical interferometers for many-party QKD systems.

The chosen protocol is very sensitive to phase instabilities. Any phase drifts caused by temperature drifts must then be compensated. The developed temperature stabilization system provides a long-term stability of 3 mK per day and is at the same time able to adjust interferometer phases with a resolution down to 0.011 π, reducing the complexity
of the setup compared to other implementations of this protocol.

After the entire system was implemented, the field test achieved a stable quantum key distribution over a deployed link of approx. 27 km length, while all elements of the system were placed in a typical telecom operating room. This experiment was one of the first successful field tests of a QKD system in Germany. In a five hour long key exchange a mean sifted key rate of 200 bit/s with a quantum bit error rate of approx. 3 % was achieved.

description: The local intranasal toxicity of a nasal formulation of the opioid analgesic fentanyl was investigated in this study. Minipigs were used as the experimental model. Fentanyl was administered using the formulation and the device intended for human use. Doses of 400 μg fentanyl were administered 5 times daily to the minipigs for 4 weeks. In addition, the spreading pattern of the formulation in the minipig nasal cavity was investigated by applying a formulation containing methylene blue at necropsy. Results: The methylene blue spread to the middle parts of the endoturbinates. The No-Observed-Adverse- Effect-Level (NOAEL) of intranasally administered fentanyl in minipigs was documented to be above 5 x 400 μg/day. After necropsy, no relevant treatment related macroscopic or microscopic findings were observed, but minimal focal deciliation/degradation of the respiratory epithelium was seen in one animal. In conclusion, intranasal administration of 400 μg fentanyl 5 times daily for a period of 4 weeks did not cause any treatment related changes in the nasal cavity of the minipig.

description: We present the results of a study of the star HD 34736. The spectropolarimetric observations carried out at the 6-m telescope showed the presence of a strong variable longitudinal magnetic field, exceeding -4500 G. The analysis of the HIPPARCOS photometry gives a set of possible periods of the brightness variability of the star, of which 0.3603 days is preferred. The variable radial velocity of spectral lines of the star and some signatures of lines of at least one other component show that HD 34736 is a double short-period system. Modeling of the spectra allowed us to estimate the effective temperature $T_{eff}$ of the stars (13 700 and 11 500 K) and their projected rotational velocities $v\sin i$ (73 and $\geq90$ km s$^{-1}$). The analysis of all the available information about the star allows us to hypothesize that the object of study is a close, possibly interacting binary system.

description: Eighteen lactating Wistar-Imamichi rats habituated to drinking 1 M sucrose-solution were divided into three groups. Appetitive and maternal behaviour was observed during 30 minutes. Group 1 had access to sucrose solution and their pups, Group 2 had access to distilled water and their pups, and Group 3 had access to sucrose solution but not pups. The maternal behaviour seen in Group 2 was effectively inhibited by the presence of the sucrose-solution, in Group 1 where, during the observation period, the rats exhibited appetitive behaviour exclusively. We conclude that maternal appetitive ingestive behaviour is undiminished by the presence of pups.

name: Cardoso, L A
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: The aim of this work was the determination of the myofibrillar protein profiles in the fed and the mildly underfed rat. Sixteen male rats were divided into 2 groups: CR (control) fed ad libitum and MR (mildly undernourished) fed 75% of energetic maintenance needs. The animals were sacrificed at day 23 and the gastrocnemius muscle was taken for myofibrillar protein characterisation. The myofibrillar protein profiles were found to be very similar in the two groups revealing the lack of preferred catabolism of myofibrillar proteins and consequently that the muscle structure is maintained even in situations of mild undernutrition.

Spectral Coherence and Geometric Reformulation of the Riemann Hypothesis via Torsion-Free Vector Waves

Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 490401
subject: Algebra and number theory

description: We introduce a geometric and spectral reformulation of the Riemann Hypothesis based on the analysis of a complex vector-valued function, the Function of Residual Oscillation (FOR(N)), defined by a regularized spectral sum over the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. This function reveals a torsion structure in the complex plane that is minimized under the critical-line condition Re(ρ) = 1/2. By analyzing the directional stability of the associated vectors, we demonstrate that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the global vanishing of the spectral torsion function τ(N). The approach combines geodesic vector dynamics, coherence cancellation, and asymptotic convergence, providing a new structural perspective on one of the most fundamental problems in mathematics.

description: Ionizing radiation is known to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can be removed by antioxidants. L-carnitine, a natural component of mammalian tissue, is a necessary factor in the utilization of long-chain fatty acids to produce energy. Furthermore it has been shown that L-carnitine is an antioxidant which has a scavenger effect on ROS and a stabilizing effect on damaged cell membranes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential protective effect of L-carnitine on radiation-induced free radicals in hamsters. Lcarnitine was given by gavage at a dose of 50 mg/kg for 15 consecutive days before irradiation with a single dose of 8 Gy. 24 h after radiation exposure, the hamsters were sacrificed and samples were taken from blood and tissues, and the biochemical and histopatological determinations were carried out. In the irradiated group, there were significant increases in plasma and liver malondialdehyde (MDA) with marked reduction in glutathione (GSH) levels in the liver, compared with controls. In red blood cells, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase activities were also reduced. All these effects were reversed by L-carnitine. In conclusion, L-carnitine with its antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties could play a modulatory role against the cellular damage produced by free radicals induced by ionizing radiation.

description: Gastrin is well known as a gastric acid secreting agent and trophic factor, but the complexity and plasticity of the mechanisms behind its effects need elucidation. For instance, whether the effects depend on vagal innervation is still an open question. In the present report, we describe in technical detail a rat model of gastrocystoplasty and fundectomy with the hope that it will provide an additional tool in gastrin research and an example of experimental surgery.

The use of the API 20 NE bacteria classification procedure to identify Pasteurellaceae strains in rodents and rabbits

description: Forty growth-factor independent Pasteurellaceae strains representing most known taxa from rodents and rabbits were API 20 NE profiled by four laboratory animal diagnostic laboratories using their routine methodology. Significant differences were found in the number of bacterial strains classified with the Pasteurellaceae. The results of the four laboratories taken together showed that 136 (85 %) of the 160 tests carried out with the 40 strains led to classification with the family. The 23 Pasteurellaceae strains from species (Pasteurella aerogenes, P. multocida, P. pneumotropica) present in the API 20 NE data base (API taxa strains) and the 17 strains from taxa not included (non - API taxa strains) were classified with the family with similar frequency. Pasteurella species designation differed significantly between the laboratories and full agreement in speciation was found with only 9 (22.5 %) of the 40 strains. Of the tests carried out with P. multocida and P. pneumotropica, 42 and 52 % respectively led to misclassification. Conversely 38 % of the profiles obtained with non- API taxa strains led to identification as P. multocida or P. pneumotropica. We conclude that identification of Pasteurellaceae to the species level by the API 20 NE system is unreliable, but the system is useful to classify various Pasteurellaceae taxa from rodents and rabbits with the bacterial family.

name: Hansen, Axel Kornerup
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: As spread of allergens, especially during handling and cage changes, is a problem in an animal facility, initiatives are taken to reduce this spread. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a LAF-cabin (Laminar Air Flow cabin), and its ability to protect the staff against inhaling allergens during cage changing of rats, and mice. The allergens were sampled from the handler’s breathing zone and from different places inside the cabin. Subsequently the amount of allergens was quantified by an ELISA testing for MUS m1 and RAT n1. The use of the LAF-cabin reduced the amount of rat and mouse allergens in the breathing zone by at least 90-95%. The study shows that by using a LAF-cabin for cage changing it is possible both to achieve an essential reduction in allergen exposure for the staff and at the same time keep the allergens inside the ventilated area of the cabin, thereby preventing allergen contamination of the surrounding facilities. The potential advantages compared with other techniques are outlined.

description: Varying degrees of kidney calcification have been found in New Zealand White rabbits used for in vitro physiological studies in our animal unit over the past 4 years. Histologically, the lesion is characterised by the deposition of calcified deposits inside tubular structures in the cortical and (cortico)medullary region of the rabbit kidney. The kidney calcifications could be so severe, that the isolation of renal resistance vessels, dissected for intended in vitro studies, was no longer possible. Because 40% of the rabbit kidneys had to be discarded at the start of the year 2000, since then, a routine histological check of all rabbit kidneys used until 1 January 2004, was performed. The yearly incidence of numbers of animals having kidneys with calcified deposits in cortex and/or medulla as compared to the total number of rabbits used, ranged from 16 % to 63%. Kidney calcifications were seen in both sexes. A large interindividual variation in the degree of nephrocalcinosis was found. Of the dietary factors involved in the ethiopathogenesis in rats, phosphorus (P) concentration is an important determinant for kidney calcification. Also in rabbits it has been proven that dietary phosphate supplements and increased dietary P-levels in semipurified diets will lead to kidney calcifications in higher frequencies and degrees of severity. The recommended dietary Plevel for growing rabbits is 0.22%, according to the National Research Council guidelines of 1977. Commercial, natural-ingredient rabbit diets always have dietary P levels that exceed 0.22%. It is therefore considered recommendable to lower dietary P concentration in marketed rabbit diets, in order to reduce or prevent nephrocalcinosis in rabbits.

We determined the ratio (ν_{Yb}/ν_{Sr}) to be 1.207 507 039 343 340 4(18) with a fractional uncertainty of 1.5x10^{-15}. The measurement uncertainty of the frequency ratio is smaller than that obtained from absolute frequency measurements using the International Atomic Time (TAI) link. The measured ratio agrees well with that derived from the absolute frequency measurement results obtained at NIST and JILA, Boulder, CO using their Cs-fountain clock. Our measurement enables the first international comparison of the frequency ratios of optical clocks, and we obtained a good agreement between the two measured ratios with an uncertainty smaller than the TAI link. The measured frequency ratio will be reported to the International Committee for Weights and Measures for a discussion related to the redefinition of the second.

description: We have developed a new type of target for intense laser-matter experiments that offers significant advantages over those currently in use. The targets consist of a liquid crystal film freely suspended within a metal frame. They can be formed rapidly on-demand with thicknesses ranging from nanometers to micrometers, where the particular value is determined by the liquid crystal temperature and initial volume as well as by the frame geometry. The liquid crystal used for this work, 8CB (4'-octyl-4-cyanobiphenyl), has a vapor pressure below $10^{-6}$ Torr, so films made at atmospheric pressure maintain their initial thickness after pumping to high vacuum. Additionally, the volume per film is such that each target costs significantly less than one cent to produce. The mechanism of film formation and relevant physics of liquid crystals are described, as well as ion acceleration data from the first shots on liquid crystal film targets at the Ohio State University Scarlet laser facility.

description: We study a novel non-Abelian matrix configuration of probe D-branes in AdS5. This configuration gives rise to a new D-brane phenomenon related to the known "Myers effect" in the context of holography. It is dual to a deformation of the field theory by a Wilson line threaded fermion bilinear. We study the two point function of these short Wilson lines from both the non-Abelian DBI action and a classical string world sheet calculation and identify the region where they agree. We also study a related configuration where the non-Abelian nature of the embedding functions is enhanced by a background flux as in the Myers effect.

description: Egg-laying hens were immunized with Sendai virus (SV) that had been grown in chicken embryos. The titres of immunospecific SV antibodies varied from log212 to log216 during the 5-month immunization period and total immunoglobulin Y (IgY) concentrations varied from 1.6 to 4.0 mg per ml of egg yolk. Two IgY purification methods based on salt precipitation using lithium sulfate or sodium citrate were developed. These methods were compared with two other purification methods based on polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation and chloroform extraction, respectively in terms of yield, total protein content, IgY concentration and immunospecific anti Sendai IgY activity. The total protein and IgY contents when purified by chloroform were 1.4-2.8 times and 1.3-2.3 times higher, respectively than in corresponding preparations purified by the other methods. However, the proportion of nonsense proteins was approximately 10% higher in the IgY preparation purified by chloroform than in those purified by salt precipitation. The immunospecific IgY activity recorded in the preparations from the new salting out methods was lower compared with the PEG and chloroform purification methods. However, the purity analysis of IgY by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) demonstrated that IgY purified with lithium sulfate contained only two major components with molecular weights of 40 kDa and 66 kDa and one minor protein component of 45 kDa. By contrast, IgY extracted with ammonium sulfate, which is a classical method used to obtain purified IgY, contained two major protein of 40 kDa and 66 kDa and at least three less intense protein bands corresponding to proteins of molecular weights 31.4 kDa, 33.5 kDa and 45 kDa. The results indicate that the purification of IgY by lithium sulfate results in very pure IgY in high quantities (94% +/- 5% of total egg yolk protein).

description: The Heavy Shell Model (HSM) (Y. Sun and C.-L. Wu, Phys. Rev. C 68, 024315 (2003)) was proposed to take the advantages of two existing models, the projected shell model (PSM) and the Fermion Dynamical Symmetry Model (FDSM). To construct HSM, one extends the PSM by adding collective D-pairs into the intrinsic basis. The HSM is expected to describe simultaneously low-lying collective and quasi-particle excitations in deformed nuclei, and still keeps the model space tractable even for the heaviest systems. As the first numerical realization of the HSM, we study systematically the band structures for some deformed actinide nuclei, with a model space including up to 4-quasiparticle and 1-D-pair configurations. The calculated energy levels for the ground- state bands, the collective bands such as β - and γ -bands, and some quasiparticle bands agree well with known experimental data. Some low-lying quasiparticle bands are predicted, awaiting experimental confirmation.

description: The copulatory behavior pattern of house musk shrews paired for 24 h starting at either 09:00 (light) or 20:00 (dark) was investigated. Ejaculatory behaviors were observed in both light and dark periods, when mating was started at 09:00. However, the males ejaculated only in the dark period when they were paired at 20:00.

description: We consider semisimple super Tannakian categories generated by an object whose symmetric or alternating tensor square is simple up to trivial summands. Using representation theory, we provide a criterion to identify the corresponding Tannaka super groups that applies in many situations. As an example we discuss the tensor category generated by the convolution powers of an algebraic curve inside its Jacobian variety.
Effect of Repeated Confined Single Housing of Young Pigs on Faecal Excretion of Cortisol and IgA

description: During 48 days four young male, castrated Yorkshire x Landrace pigs (growers) were singly housed alternatively in standard pig pens (4 x 6 days) and metabolic cages (4 x 6 days). The faecal excretion of cortisol metabolites and immunoglobulin A (IgA) was quantified by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assays (ELISAs). The first stay in the metabolic cage was associated with an increase in faecal cortisol levels, which may be interpreted as a symptom of acute stress. But when the pigs’ visits to the metabolic cages were repeated, the faecal cortisol generally reverted to fairly low levels. Concomitantly, faecal IgA excretion decreased steadily during the study period suggesting sustained stress. The body weight gain was lower during periods when the pigs were housed in metabolic cages than when they were in pens. These results suggest that metabolic cages caused a continued stress condition in pigs. One pig showed consistent high IgA excretion and a smaller decline in body weight gain during periods in the metabolic cage than the other pigs. This pig thus appeared to be less stressed than the other pigs, but maintained high cortisol levels throughout the study period when housed in the ordinary pen. This indicates that cortisol may have a protective effect against the stress caused by housing in metabolic cages.

Asteroseismic Study on Cluster Distance Moduli for RGB Stars in NGC 6791 and NGC 6819

description: Stellar distance is an important basic parameter in stellar astrophysics. Stars in a cluster are thought to be formed coevally from the same interstellar cloud of gas and dust. They are therefore expected to have common properties. These common properties strengthen our ability to constrain theoretical models and/or to determine fundamental parameters, such as stellar mass, metal fraction, and distance when tested against an ensemble of cluster stars. Here we derive a new relation based on solar-like oscillations, photometric observations, and the theory of stellar structure and evolution of red giant branch stars to determine cluster distance moduli through the global oscillation parameters $Δν$ and $ν_{\rm max}$, and photometric data \textit{V}. The values of $Δν$ and $ν_{\rm max}$ are derived from \textit{kepler} observations. At the same time, it is used to interpret the trends between \textit{V} and $Δν$. From the analyses of this newly derived relation and observational data of NGC 6791 and NGC 6819 we devise a method in which all stars in a cluster are regarded as one entity to determine the cluster distance modulus. This approach fully reflects the characteristic of member stars in a cluster as a natural sample. From this method we derive true distance moduli of $13.09\pm0.10$ mag for NGC 6791 and $11.88\pm0.14$ mag for NGC 6819. Additionally, we find that the distance modulus only slightly depends on the metallicity [Fe/H] in the new relation. A change of 0.1 dex in [Fe/H] will lead to a change of 0.06 mag in the distance modulus.

description: This study was designed to investigate the effects of neostigmine methylsulfate on enzyme activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in rat serum, plasma, muscle and liver were investigated in vivo. Twelve Sprague-Dawley Albino male rats, weighing 150-200 g were housed in two groups, each group containing six rats. A single dose (0.05 mg/kg) of neostigmine methylsulfate was injected intramuscularly to the treatment rats. Control rats were given only the same amount of physiological saline. Blood samples for enzyme activity were obtained by cardiac puncture under ether anesthesia one, three, and six hours after the treatment. The tissues were dissected six hours after the treatment. The present study indicated that neostigmine methylsulfate possessed an inhibitory effect on AChE activity in serum, plasma, muscle and liver with the elapse of time. However, the greatest inhibition was found six hours after the injection.

Year: 2014

description: The use of laboratory pigs has increased dramatically in the last decade, and this study supplements the basic ocular anatomical and physiological characterisations already carried out on laboratory pigs. Pigs are frequently used as models of human ocular diseases due to the similar anatomy and physiology of the ocular structures of the pig as compared to humans, but refractive error has not been investigated systematically in the Göttingen minipig. We measured refractive status, corneal power and axial length in a sample of 30 adult Göttingen minipigs including both sexes. The uncorrected mean refractive error was +1.3 dioptres (D) with a standard deviation (SD)± 2.3 D.The mean corneal power was 44.1 D (SD±1.5D) and mean axial length less than 19 mm. No statistically significant difference was detected between the right and left eye values, with respect to colour of iris, or between genders (p<0.05). In spite of the smaller axial length, measures of refractive error and corneal power in the Göttingen minipig are comparable to human values. This information should prove useful when using Göttingen minipigs as models for human ocular conditions or in research involving vision or other ophthalmic aspects of the Göttingen minipig. Also, the refractive status of the animal can be of importance when using pigs in cognitive tasks, mainly because of the probable lack of accommodative reflex in pigs. If visual stimuli are presented at a short distance, clinical, emmetropia or myopia in the experimental animals would be desirable; in the present cohort of examined pigs, 60% fulfilled these criteria.

description: We review recent developments in the type IIB matrix model, which was conjectured to be a nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory. In the first part we review the recent results for the Euclidean model, which suggest that SO(10) symmetry is spontaneously broken. In the second part we review the recent results for the Lorentzian model. In particular, we discuss Monte Carlo results, which suggest that (3+1)-dimensional expanding universe emerges dynamically. We also discuss some results suggesting the emergence of exponential expansion and the power-law expansion at later times. The behaviors at much later times are studied by the classical equation of motion. We discuss a solution representing 3d expanding space, which suggests a possible solution to the cosmological constant problem.
