description: The author puts the finishing touch to an apparatus for the study—in situ— of polychaeta and lamellibranchs larvae settlement. This apparatus includes two parts ; a frame, anchored definitively on the bottom, at a depth of 5 m, and six removable collectors, where the experiment of settlement takes place. For this purpose, each collector contains 260 cm* of sand previously sieved to separate its macroscopic population.
In the first experiment, 12 collectors (two frames) have been used; it was expected to do it for a year, one collector being hauled every month, another taking its place. Infortunately, this project was not followed and this first experiment has been made for 16 months,only 5 collectors being exchange. Nevertheless, the results incite to carry on the experimentation which supplies a rich and diversified population, quite different of that of the neighbouring environment.
A result worth recording is the collecting of 139 lamellibranchs and 136 polychaeta in 3,600 cm8 of sand. Among the polychaeta, 50 exemplaries of a species unknowed in the Gulf of Marseilles were discovered in the collectors; an other (2 exemplaries) is probably not yet described.
Over the importance of the population, the size risen by some lamellibranchs (more than 2 cm) proves that the life in the collectors lead in the most favorable conditions.

description: The order of the superconducting phase transition is a classical problem. Single-component type-2 superconductors exhibit a continuous "inverted-XY" phase transition, as was first demonstrated for U(1) lattice London superconductors by a celebrated duality mapping with subsequent backing by numerical simulations. Here we study this problem in multiband U(1) London superconductors and find evidence that by contrast the model has a tricritical point. The superconducting phase transition becomes first-order when the Josephson length is sufficiently large compared to the magnetic field penetration length. We present evidence that the fluctuation-induced dipolar interaction between vortex loops makes the phase transition discontinuous. We discuss that this mechanism is also relevant for the phase transitions in multicomponent gauge theories with higher broken symmetry.

description: Lipolysis is a critical metabolic pathway contributing to energy homeostasis through degradation of triacylglycerides stored in lipid droplets (LDs), releasing fatty acids. Neutral lipid lipases act at the oil/water interface. In mammalian cells, LD surfaces are coated with one or more members of the perilipin protein family, which serve important functions in regulating lipolysis. We investigated mechanisms by which three perilipin proteins control lipolysis by adipocyte triglyceride lipase (ATGL), a key lipase in adipocytes and non-adipose cells. Using a cell culture model, we examined interactions of ATGL and its co-lipase CGI-58 with perilipin 1 (perilipin A), perilipin 2 (adipose differentiation-related protein), and perilipin 5 (LSDP5) using multiple techniques as follows: anisotropy Forster resonance energy transfer, co-immunoprecipitation, [32P]orthophosphate radiolabeling, and measurement of lipolysis. The results show that ATGL interacts with CGI-58 and perilipin 5; the latter is selectively expressed in oxidative tissues. Both proteins independently recruited ATGL to the LD surface, but with opposite effects; interaction of ATGL with CGI-58 increased lipolysis, whereas interaction of ATGL with perilipin 5 decreased lipolysis. In contrast, neither perilipin 1 nor 2 interacted directly with ATGL. Activation of protein kinase A (PKA) increased [32P]orthophosphate incorporation into perilipin 5 by 2-fold, whereas neither ATGL nor CGI-58 was labeled under the incubation conditions. Cells expressing both ectopic perilipin 5 and ATGL showed a 3-fold increase in lipolysis following activation of PKA. Our studies establish perilipin 5 as a novel ATGL partner and provide evidence that the protein composition of perilipins at the LD surface regulates lipolytic activity of ATGL.

description: The single-celled human parasite Entamoeba histolytica possesses a dynamic actin cytoskeleton vital for its intestinal and systemic pathogenicity. The E. histolytica genome encodes several Rho family GTPases known to regulate cytoskeletal dynamics. EhRho1, the first family member identified, was reported to be insensitive to the Rho GTPase-specific Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme, raising the possibility that it may be a misclassified Ras family member. Here, we report the crystal structures of EhRho1 in both active and inactive states. EhRho1 is activated by a conserved switch mechanism, but diverges from mammalian Rho GTPases in lacking a signature Rho insert helix. EhRho1 engages a homolog of mDia, EhFormin1, suggesting a role in mediating serum-stimulated actin reorganization and microtubule formation during mitosis. EhRho1, but not a constitutively active mutant, interacts with a newly identified EhRhoGDI in a prenylation-dependent manner. Furthermore, constitutively active EhRho1 induces actin stress fiber formation in mammalian fibroblasts, thereby identifying it as a functional Rho family GTPase. EhRho1 exhibits a fast rate of nucleotide exchange relative to mammalian Rho GTPases due to a distinctive switch one isoleucine residue reminiscent of the constitutively active F28L mutation in human Cdc42, which for the latter protein, is sufficient for cellular transformation. Nonconserved, nucleotide-interacting residues within EhRho1, revealed by the crystal structure models, were observed to contribute a moderating influence on fast spontaneous nucleotide exchange. Collectively, these observations indicate that EhRho1 is a bona fide member of the Rho GTPase family, albeit with unique structural and functional aspects compared with mammalian Rho GTPases.

description: Three new genera and one new species are described in the present paper. The genera are the following : Cellarinelloides n. gen., type species C. crassus n. sp. ; Larvapora n. gen., type species Cellaria mawsoni Livingstone, 1928 and Trilaminopora n. gen., type species Micropofella trinervis Waters, 1904.
Although Larvapora is considered as an intermediate state between Aspidosto- matidae and Cellaridae, its great structural similarity to Melicerita, allows us to include it in the latter family.
Trilaminopora is classified in the Harmer’s Ascophora Imperfecta owing to its resemblance with genera such as Triporula and Exechonella.
The new family Cellarinellidae is formed to group the genera Cellarinella Waters, 1904; Systenopora Waters, 1904 and Cellarinelloides n. gen., since Sclero- domus, the type genus of Sclerodomidae, was incorporated to Bifaxariidae by Harmer in 1957.

description: The androgen receptor (AR) has a critical role in the growth and progression of androgen-dependent and castration-resistant prostate cancers. To identify novel inhibitors of AR transactivation that block growth of prostate cancer cells, a luciferase-based high-throughput screen of ∼160,000 small molecules was performed in cells stably expressing AR and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-luciferase reporter. CPIC (1-(3-(2-chlorophenoxy) propyl)-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile) was identified as a small molecule that blocks AR transactivation to a greater extent than other steroid receptors. CPIC inhibited AR-mediated proliferation of androgen-sensitive prostate cancer cell lines, with minimal toxicity in AR-negative cell lines. CPIC treatment also reduced the anchorage-independent growth of LAPC-4 prostate cancer cells. CPIC functioned as a pure antagonist by inhibiting the expression of AR-regulated genes in LAPC-4 cells that express wild-type AR and exhibited weak agonist activity in LNCaP cells that express the mutant AR-T877A. CPIC treatment did not reduce AR levels or alter its nuclear localization. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation to identify the site of action of CPIC. CPIC inhibited recruitment of androgen-bound AR to the PSA promoter and enhancer sites to a greater extent than bicalutamide. CPIC is a new therapeutic inhibitor that targets AR-mediated gene activation with potential to arrest the growth of prostate cancer.

description: The objective of this study was to determine the individual growth of the Cortez oyster Crassostrea corteziensis reared in a subtropical coastal lagoon from central Gulf of California. We tested five asymptotic growth models: von Bertalanffy, logistic, Gompertz, Schnute and Schnute-Richards. The parameters of each model and their confidence intervals (CIs) were computed using the maximum-likelihood method. The best-fitting model was selected using the Akaike information criterion (AIC). According to the AIC, the Schnute-Richards growth model best described the growth of C. corteziensis.

description: In this article we study the full one-loop SUSY contributions to the lepton flavor violating Higgs decay $h \to τ\bar μ$, within the context of the supersymmetric inverse sesaw model. We assume that both the right-handed neutrino masses, $M_R$, and their supersymmetric partner masses, $m_{\tilde ν_R}$, are not far from the interesting ${\cal O}({\rm TeV})$ energy scale, and we work with scenarios with large neutrino Yukawa couplings that transmit large lepton flavor violating effects. By exploring the behavior with the most relevant parameters, mainly $M_R$, $m_{\tilde ν_R}$ and the trilinear sneutrino coupling $A_ν$, we will look for regions of the parameter space where the enhancement of $\mathrm{BR}(h\rightarrow τ\bar μ)$ is large enough to reach values at the percent level, which could explain the excess recently reported by CMS and ATLAS at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

description: In this study, terahertz (THz) absorption and transmission of monolayer MoS$_{2}$ was calculated under different carrier concentrations. Results showed that the THz absorption of monolayer MoS$_{2}$ is very small even under high carrier concentrations and large incident angle. Equivalent loss of the THz absorption is the total sum of reflection and absorption that is one to three grades lower than that of graphene. The monolayer MoS$_{2}$ transmission is much larger than that of the traditional GaAs and InAs two-dimensional electron gas. The field-effect tubular structure formed by the monolayer MoS$_{2}$-insulation-layer-graphene is investigated. In this structure the THz absorption of graphene to reach saturation under low voltage. Meantime, the maximum THz absorption of monolayer MoS$_{2}$ was limited to approximately 5\%. Thus, monolayer MoS$_{2}$ is a kind of ideal THz Transparent Electrodes.

description: Mutations in the gene encoding Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) cause a subset of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS) cases. A shared effect of these mutations is that SOD1, which is normally a stable dimer, dissociates into toxic monomers that seed toxic aggregates. Considerable research effort has been devoted to developing compounds that stabilize the dimer of fALS SOD1 variants, but unfortunately, this has not yet resulted in a treatment. We hypothesized that cyclic thiosulfinate cross-linkers, which selectively target a rare, 2 cysteine-containing motif, can stabilize fALS-causing SOD1 variants in vivo. We created a library of chemically diverse cyclic thiosulfinates and determined structure-cross-linking-activity relationships. A pre-lead compound, “S-XL6,” was selected based upon its cross-linking rate and drug-like properties. Co-crystallographic structure clearly establishes the binding of S-XL6 at Cys 111 bridging the monomers and stabilizing the SOD1 dimer. Biophysical studies reveal that the degree of stabilization afforded by S-XL6 (up to 24°C) is unprecedented for fALS, and to our knowledge, for any protein target of any kinetic stabilizer. Gene silencing and protein degrading therapeutic approaches require careful dose titration to balance the benefit of diminished fALS SOD1 expression with the toxic loss-of-enzymatic function. We show that S-XL6 does not share this liability because it rescues the activity of fALS SOD1 variants. No pharmacological agent has been proven to bind to SOD1 in vivo. Here, using a fALS mouse model, we demonstrate oral bioavailability; rapid engagement of SOD1G93A by S-XL6 that increases SOD1G93A’s in vivo half-life; and that S-XL6 crosses the blood–brain barrier. S-XL6 demonstrated a degree of selectivity by avoiding off-target binding to plasma proteins. Taken together, our results indicate that cyclic thiosulfinate-mediated SOD1 stabilization should receive further attention as a potential therapeutic approach for fALS.

description: Myocardin belongs to the SAF-A/B, Acinus, PIAS (SAP) domain family of transcription factors and is specifically expressed in cardiac and smooth muscle. Myocardin functions as a transcriptional coactivator of SRF and is sufficient and necessary for smooth muscle gene expression. We have previously found that myocardin induces the acetylation of nucleosomal histones surrounding SRF-binding sites in the control regions of cardiac and smooth muscle genes through recruiting chromatin-modifying enzyme p300, yet no studies have determined whether myocardin itself is similarly modified. In this study, we show that myocardin is a direct target for p300-mediated acetylation. p300 acetylates lysine residues at the N terminus of the myocardin protein. Interestingly, a direct interaction between p300 and myocardin, which is mediated by the C terminus of myocardin, is required for the acetylation event. Acetylation of myocardin by p300 enhances the association of myocardin and SRF as well as the formation of the myocardin-SRF-CArG box ternary complex. Conversely, acetylation of myocardin decreases the binding of histone deacetylase 5 (HDAC5) to myocardin. Acetylation of myocardin is required for myocardin to activate smooth muscle genes. Our study demonstrates that acetylation plays a key role in modulating myocardin function in controlling cardiac and smooth muscle gene expression.

description: Cellobiose lipids (CL) are glycolipids secreted by many Ustilaginaceae species in aerobic fermentations characterised by excessive foaming. While increasing CL concentrations remains an aim for its industrial production, excessive foaming during fermentation presents a challenge even at laboratory scale. Foam fractionation (FF) provides a solution to the foaming problem and facilitates the proceeding purification of CL. Here, we present a first CL fermentation process applying FF. With our set-up, we manage to exploit the excessive foaming for continuous product separation. The set-up includes a foam collecting vessel (FCV) with inserts for CL accumulation and foamate recirculation to minimise biomass and nutrient loss. Integrating a foam column (FC) into the fermenter headspace enabled foam enrichment, resulting in the recovery of > 90% of the produced CL from the separated fractions consisting of foam depositions in the fermenter headspace and the FCV. We also increased the fermenter filling volume and thus achieved a higher fermentation capacity. The separated CL fraction was purified via ethanol extraction to obtain CL with purities > 90%. We further examined the effects of different culture media constituents, including biomass and CL, on foam generation and decay and assessed the effect of FC geometries on product enrichment and recovery. In this work, a FF set-up is presented that enables a stable CL fermentation without additional foam mitigation methods. At the same time, the application of FF separated a fraction that was highly enriched in CL during fermentation, resulting in highly pure CL after a simple ethanol extraction.

description: Membrane traffic is an essential process that allows protein and lipid exchange between the endocytic, lysosomal, and secretory compartments. Clathrin-mediated traffic between the trans-Golgi network and endosomes mediates responses to the environment through the sorting of biosynthetic and endocytic protein cargo. Traffic through this pathway is initiated by the controlled assembly of a clathrin-adaptor protein coat on the cytosolic surface of the originating organelle. In this process, clathrin is recruited by different adaptor proteins that act as a bridge between clathrin and the transmembrane cargo proteins to be transported. Interactions between adaptors and clathrin and between different types of adaptors lead to the formation of a densely packed protein network within the coat. A key unresolved issue is how the highly complex adaptor-clathrin interaction and adaptor-adaptor interaction landscape lead to the correct spatiotemporal assembly of the clathrin coat. Here we report the discovery of a new autoregulatory motif within the clathrin adaptor Gga2 that drives synergistic binding of Gga2 to clathrin and the adaptor Ent5. This autoregulation influences the temporal and/or spatial location of the Gga2-Ent5 interaction. We propose that this synergistic binding provides built-in regulation to ensure the correct assembly of clathrin coats.

description: The starfish Luidia atlantidea, an echinoderm known hitherto from infralittoral and circalittoral bottoms of the northwestern African coasts, is reported for the first time in the European margin and in the Mediterranean Sea. A total of 31 specimens of different sizes (disc diameters from 0.8 to 2.9 cm) were collected from the mechanized dredges fleet targeting four commercial bivalves (Acanthocardia tuberculata, Callista chione, Chamelea gallina, Donax trunculus) between February and July 2013 in the northern Alboran Sea (southern Spain). Most individuals had broken arms due to the collecting gear. The specimens were generally collected in low numbers, at shallower depths (1-11 m) than the bathymetric range reported for this species along the northwestern African coasts (10-80 m). The data provided here, and supported by old specimens collected between 1980-1990, suggests that local populations of L. atlantidea occur in shallow infralittoral soft bottoms of the northern Alboran Sea. This constitutes a new extended northeastern limit for the distribution of L. atlantidea and increases the known number of Luidia species in the Mediterranean Sea.

description: The digestive system of teleost fish has a high structural diversity based on modes, living environments and diets. This study aims to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the diet of Scorpaena notata and describe the adaptation of the histological structure of the digestive tract with enzymatic secretion compared to the nature of ingested prey. This study was performed using three approaches: histology of different parts of the digestive tract, stomach contents analysis, and enzymatic assay. A total of 350 small red scorpion fish individuals were collected from small landings in the region of Algiers. The composition of the diet shows that S. notata is a macrophagous species with a large alimentary spectrum of prey. The diet consists of decapoda brachyura, other crustaceans and fishes. A digestive enzymology test reveals that the activity of chitinolytic enzymes is particularly high in the scorpion fish stomach in general; the major preys are known by their carapace rich on chitin. This result was obtained by the extraction of crude chitinases from the offal of these fish. It was confirmed by the histological structure of the lamina propria of the stomach mucosa showing a dense glandular exocrine serous form, when the intestinal structure are much less dense at the mucosa.

We use the two-particle Casimir of four-dimensional superconformal algebra to derive superconformal blocks which contribute to the partial wave expansion of such correlators. The derived blocks are defined on analytic superspace and allow us in principle to find any component of the four-point correlator. The lowest component of the result agrees with the superconformal blocks found by Dolan and Osborn.

A total 532 Trachinus draco ranged from 13.5 to 32.0 cm in total length was caught by trawl and gill nets. The population consists of 45.89% for females and 54.11% for males. The total length-weight relationship was estimated as W = 0.0077 × TL2.95. The parameters of von Bertalanffy growth fitted to the mean observed total lengths-at-age for each sex separately and estimated as L∞= 43.994 cm, K = 0.087 year-1, t0 = -3.044 years for females, as L∞ = 40.271 cm , K = 0.099 year-1, t0 = -2.799 years for males and as L∞= 46.445 cm, K = 0.076 year-1, t0 = -3.289 years for combined sexes. In fish between age groups 2 and 3, the maximum absolute growth was estimated as 2.47 cm and relative growth was calculated as 16.46%. On the other hand, in fish between age groups 9 and 10, absolute growth was estimated as 1.21 cm and relative growth was calculated as 4.36%. Population condition factor value was 0.654 ± 0.021; the highest condition factor was found as 0.692 in fish at age 9.

description: The comparison of productivity for 21 species of aquatic molluscs was made. Averageperyeardiurnalspecificrateofproduction(C) wastakenastheindex. For investigated molluscs the values C calculated from the available data were in limits 0,0003-0,03. It was found out that the more the maximum life duration of the molluscs belonging to a given species population, the less the value C. Although the calculations for C in a number of species are rough, the position of points in the diagram relating C and life duration allow to hope that in future it will be possible to give quantitative description and detailed explanation for established dépendance.

LES CRIBRILARIA (BRYOZOAIRES CHILOSTOMES) DE MÉDITERRANÉE ; SYSTÉMATIQUE ET ÉCOLOGIE
Creators: name: HARMELIN, J.G.

Year: 1970

description: This paper consists in a revision, for the Mediterranean sea, of the genus Cribrilaria. This genus is well represented in this area by six species: C. radiata, C. innominata, C. setosa, C. pedunculata, C. flabellifera and C. crenulata n. sp. The two first species (radiata and innominata), often considered as synonyms, are established as two valid species; two ecological forms are distinguished in C. innominata, one of them being the var. hincksi of Friedl (1917). Some specimens, identical, with a great probability, with the Cribrilina set osa Waters, 1889, possess vicarious avicularia, so, this species is transferred to the present genus. C. flabellifera is recorded for the first time in the temperate area. A new species, C. crenulata, is described; it is chiefly characterized by a crenated border of the orifice. Ecological data are given for these species.

description: Numerous receptors for ATP, ADP, and adenosine exist; however, it is currently unknown whether a receptor for the related nucleotide adenosine 5′-monophosphate (AMP) exists. Using a novel cell-based assay to visualize adenosine receptor activation in real time, we found that AMP and a non-hydrolyzable AMP analog (deoxyadenosine 5′-monophosphonate, ACP) directly activated the adenosine A1 receptor (A1R). In contrast, AMP only activated the adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR) after hydrolysis to adenosine by ecto-5′-nucleotidase (NT5E, CD73) or prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP, ACPP). Adenosine and AMP were equipotent human A1R agonists in our real-time assay and in a cAMP accumulation assay. ACP also depressed cAMP levels in mouse cortical neurons through activation of endogenous A1R. Non-selective purinergic receptor antagonists (pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2′,4′-disulfonic acid and suramin) did not block adenosine- or AMP-evoked activation. Moreover, mutation of His-251 in the human A1R ligand binding pocket reduced AMP potency without affecting adenosine potency. In contrast, mutation of a different binding pocket residue (His-278) eliminated responses to AMP and to adenosine. Taken together, our study indicates that the physiologically relevant nucleotide AMP is a full agonist of A1R. In addition, our study suggests that some of the physiological effects of AMP may be direct, and not indirect through ectonucleotidases that hydrolyze this nucleotide to adenosine.

description: We use photon pairs hyperentangled in polarization and orbital angular momentum to implement a novel entanglement-enhanced quantum state communication technique, known as SuperDense Teleportation, to communicate a specific class of single-photon ququart states between two remote parties, with an average fidelity of 87.0(1)%, almost twice the classical limit of 44%. We compare this technique with quantum teleportation and remote state preparation and show that SuperDense teleportation requires less classical information and fewer experimental resources. We discuss the information content of this constrained set of states and demonstrate that this set has an exponentially larger state space volume than the lower dimensional general states with the same number of state parameters.

description: We combine single- and two-photon interference procedures for characterizing any multi-port linear optical interferometer accurately and precisely. Accuracy is achieved by estimating and correcting systematic errors that arise due to spatiotemporal and polarization mode mismatch. Enhanced accuracy and precision are attained by fitting experimental coincidence data to curve simulated using measured source spectra. We employ bootstrapping statistics to quantify the resultant degree of precision. A scattershot approach is devised to effect a reduction in the experimental time required to characterize the interferometer. The efficacy of our characterization procedure is verified by numerical simulations.
description: Updated to published version v2. We add numerical evidence for accuracy and precision of our procedure.

description: Leichtbau und Strukturoptimierung bieten auch im Maschinenbau großes Potenzial für Ressourcen- und Energieeffizienz sowie zur Dynamiksteigerung. Die hohe Bauteilkomplexität, der entsprechende Fertigungsaufwand und die mangelnde Skalierbarkeit auf große metallische Strukturbauteile verhindern jedoch den verbreiteten Einsatz im Maschinenbau. Diese Arbeit stellt daher einen Ansatz zur automatisierten Modellierung und zur schichtweisen Fertigung von strukturoptimierten Leichtbaukomponenten vor, der für diesen Anwendungsfall einen pragmatischen Kompromiss bietet. Dazu wird die numerisch optimale Dichteverteilung einer Topologieoptimierung durch Hohlräume im Bauteilinnern approximiert. Die Fertigung erfolgt durch das Verkleben von vorab strukturierten Blechschichten im Layer Laminated Manufacturing Verfahren. Die experimentelle Validierung an zwei realen Bauteilen einer Vorschubachse bestätigt die industrielle Anwendbarkeit und zeigt das Potenzial der Methodik: eine signifikant erhöhte Bauteildämpfung trotz hohem Grad an Leichtbau.
Androgen Receptor Exon 1 Mutation Causes Androgen Insensitivity by Creating Phosphorylation Site and Inhibiting Melanoma Antigen-A11 Activation of NH 2 - and Carboxyl-terminal Interaction-dependent Transactivation

description: Naturally occurring germ line mutations in the X-linked human androgen receptor (AR) gene cause incomplete masculinization of the external genitalia by disrupting AR function in males with androgen insensitivity syndrome. Almost all AR missense mutations that cause androgen insensitivity syndrome are located in the highly structured DNA and ligand binding domains. In this report we investigate the functional defect associated with an AR exon 1 missense mutation, R405S, that caused partial androgen insensitivity. The 46,XX heterozygous maternal carrier had a wild-type Arg-405 CGC allele but transmitted an AGC mutant allele coding for Ser-405. At birth, the 46,XY proband had a bifid scrotum, hypospadias, and micropenis consistent with clinical stage 3 partial androgen insensitivity. Androgen-dependent transcriptional activity of AR-R405S expressed in CV1 cells was less than wild-type AR and refractory in androgen-dependent AR NH2- and carboxyl interaction transcription assays that depend on the coregulator effects of melanoma antigen-A11. This mutation created a Ser-405 phosphorylation site evident by the gel migration of an AR-R405S NH2-terminal fragment as a double band that converted to the wild-type single band after treatment with λ-phosphatase. Detrimental effects of the R405S mutation were related to the proximity of the AR WXXLF motif 433WHTLF437 required for melanoma antigen-A11 and p300 to stimulate transcriptional activity associated with the AR NH2- and carboxyl-terminal interaction. We conclude that the coregulator effects of melanoma antigen-A11 on the AR NH2- and carboxyl-terminal interaction amplify the androgen-dependent transcriptional response to p300 required for normal human male sex development in utero.

description: We extend the investigation of the recently introduced class ${\cal S}_k$ of 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ SCFTs, by considering a large family of quiver gauge theories within it, which we denote $\mathcal{S}^1_k$. These theories admit a realization in terms of $\mathbb{Z}_k$ orbifolds of Type IIA configurations of D4-branes stretched among relatively rotated sets of NS-branes. This fact permits a systematic investigation of the full family, which exhibits new features such as non-trivial anomalous dimensions differing from free field values and novel ways of gluing theories. We relate these ingredients to properties of compactification of the 6d (1,0) superconformal ${\cal T}_N^k$ theories on spheres with different kinds of punctures. We describe the structure of dualities in this class of theories upon exchange of punctures, including transformations that correspond to Seiberg dualities, and exploit the computation of the superconformal index to check the invariance of the theories under them.
