A short note on the cephalopods sampled in the Angola Basin during the DIVA I-expedition

Five cephalopods, all belonging to different species, were identified from deep-sea trawl samples conducted during the DIVA 1-expedition of RV “Meteor” in the Angola Basin in July 2000. These were the teuthoid squids Bathyteuthis abyssicola, Brachioteuthis riisei, Mastigoteuthis atlantica, Galiteuthis armata, and the finned deep-sea octopus Grimpoteuthis wuelkeri. The present study contributes information on size, morphometry, biology and distribution of the species form this unique cephalopod collection
The Effect of Activity-Based Financing on Hospital Efficiency: A Panel Data Analysis of DEA Efficiency Scores 1992-2000

Activity-based financing (ABF) was implemented in the Norwegian hospital sector from 1 July 1997. A fraction (30 to 50 per cent) of the block grant from the state to the county councils has been replaced by a matching grant depending upon the number and composition of hospital treatments. As a result of the reform, the majority of county councils have introduced activity-based contracts with their hospitals. This paper studies the effect of
activity-based funding on hospital efficiency. We predict that hospital efficiency will increase because the benefit from cost-reducing efforts in terms of number of treated patients is increased under ABF compared with global budgets. The prediction is tested using a panel
data set from the period 1992-2000. Efficiency indicators are estimated by means of data envelopment analysis (DEA) with multiple inputs and outputs. Using a variety of econometric methods, we find that the introduction of ABF has improved efficiency when measured as technical efficiency according to DEA analysis. Contrary to our prediction, the result is less uniform with respect to the effect on cost-efficiency. We suggest several reasons why this prediction fails. Keywords are poor information of costs, production-oriented drive, tight factor markets and soft budget constraints.
Money, Random Matching and Endogenous Growth: A Quantitative Analysis

In this study, we develop a search-and-matching monetary growth model to analyze the effects of inflation on economic growth and social welfare by introducing endogenous economic growth via capital externality into a two-sector search-and-matching model. We find that the channel through which inflation affects economic growth in the search-and-matching model is different from the traditional cash-in-advance model. To facilitate the calibration, we obtain an empirical estimate of the effects of inflation on economic growth using panel regressions. In the simulation analysis, we quantitatively evaluate the welfare effect of inflation in the search-and-matching endogenous growth model and compare it to a search-and-matching exogenous growth model. We find that the welfare effect of inflation is nonlinear in the endogenous growth model whereas it is linear in the exogenous growth model. Furthermore, we find that the welfare cost of inflation under endogenous growth is up to four times as large as the welfare cost of inflation under exogenous growth.
Co-evolution, opportunity seeking and institutional change: Entrepreneurship and the Indian telecommunications industry 1923-2009

"This is an Author's Original Manuscript of an article submitted for consideration in Business History [copyright Taylor & Francis]; Business History is available online at http://www.tandfonline.com/." 10.1080/00076791.2012.687538In this paper, we demonstrate the importance for entrepreneurship of historical contexts and processes, and the co-evolution of institutions, practices, discourses and cultural norms. Drawing on discourse and institutional theories, we develop a model of the entrepreneurial field, and apply this in analysing the rise to global prominence of the Indian telecommunications industry. We draw on entrepreneurial life histories to show how various discourses and discursive processes ultimately worked to generate change and the creation of new business opportunities. We propose that entrepreneurship involves more than individual acts of business creation, but also implies collective endeavours to shape the future direction of the entrepreneurial field
Position paper on screening for breast cancer by the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) and 30 national breast radiology bodies from Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Israel, Lithuania, Moldova, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey

                  177890.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)EUSOBI and 30 national breast radiology bodies support mammography for population-based screening, demonstrated to reduce breast cancer (BC) mortality and treatment impact. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the reduction in mortality is 40 % for women aged 50-69 years taking up the invitation while the probability of false-positive needle biopsy is <1 % per round and overdiagnosis is only 1-10 % for a 20-year screening. Mortality reduction was also observed for the age groups 40-49 years and 70-74 years, although with "limited evidence". Thus, we firstly recommend biennial screening mammography for average-risk women aged 50-69 years; extension up to 73 or 75 years, biennially, is a second priority, from 40-45 to 49 years, annually, a third priority. Screening with thermography or other optical tools as alternatives to mammography is discouraged. Preference should be given to population screening programmes on a territorial basis, with double reading. Adoption of digital mammography (not film-screen or phosphor-plate computer radiography) is a priority, which also improves sensitivity in dense breasts. Radiologists qualified as screening readers should be involved in programmes. Digital breast tomosynthesis is also set to become "routine mammography" in the screening setting in the next future. Dedicated pathways for high-risk women offering breast MRI according to national or international guidelines and recommendations are encouraged. KEY POINTS: * EUSOBI and 30 national breast radiology bodies support screening mammography. * A first priority is double-reading biennial mammography for women aged 50-69 years. * Extension to 73-75 and from 40-45 to 49 years is also encouraged. * Digital mammography (not film-screen or computer radiography) should be used. * DBT is set to become "routine mammography" in the screening setting in the next future

Search for top squark pair production in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV using single lepton events

A search for top squark pair production in pp collisions at   s√=13s=13  TeV is performed using events with a single isolated electron or muon, jets, and a large transverse momentum imbalance. The results are based on data collected in 2016 with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. No significant excess of events is observed above the expectation from standard model processes. Exclusion limits are set in the context of supersymmetric models of pair production of top squarks that decay either to a top quark and a neutralino or to a bottom quark and a chargino. Depending on the details of the model, we exclude top squarks with masses as high as 1120 GeV. Detailed information is also provided to facilitate theoretical interpretations in other scenarios of physics beyond the standard model
A family intervention to reduce delirium in hospitalised ICU patients: A feasibility randomised controlled trial

Background: Family members could play an important role in preventing and reducing the development
of delirium in Intensive Care Units (ICU) patients. This study sought to assess the feasibility of design
and recruitment, and acceptability for family members and nurses of a family delivered intervention to
reduce delirium in ICU patients.
Method: A single centre randomised controlled trial in an Australian medical/surgical ICU was conducted.
Sixty-one family members were randomised (29 in intervention and 32 in non-intervention group).
Following instructions,the intervention comprised the family members providing orientation or memory
clues (family photographs, orientation to surroundings) to their relative each day. In addition, family
members conducted sensory checks (vision and hearing with glasses and hearing aids); and therapeutic
or cognitive stimulation (discussing family life, reminiscing) daily. Eleven ICU nurses were interviewed to
gain insightinto the feasibility and acceptability of implementing the intervention from their perspective.
Results: Recruitment rate was 28% of eligible patients (recruited n = 90, attrition n = 1). Following instruction
by the research nurse the familymember delivered the intervention which was assessed to be feasible
and acceptable by family members and nurses. Protocol adherence could be improved with alternative
data collection methods. Nurses considered the activities acceptable.
Conclusion: The study was able to recruit, randomise and retain family member participants. Further
strategies are required to assess intervention fidelity and improve data collection.Griffith Health, School of Nursing and MidwiferyFull Tex
Measurement of the production cross section for W-bosons in association with jets in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Data for this article available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.57048This Letter reports on a first measurement of the inclusive W+jetsW+jets cross section in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC, with the ATLAS detector. Cross sections, in both the electron and muon decay modes of the W  -boson, are presented as a function of jet multiplicity and of the transverse momentum of the leading and next-to-leading jets in the event. Measurements are also presented of the ratio of cross sections σ(W+⩾n)/σ(W+⩾n−1)σ(W+⩾n)/σ(W+⩾n−1) for inclusive jet multiplicities n=1–4n=1–4. The results, based on an integrated luminosity of 1.3 pb−11.3 pb−1, have been corrected for all known detector effects and are quoted in a limited and well-defined range of jet and lepton kinematics. The measured cross sections are compared to particle-level predictions based on perturbative QCD. Next-to-leading order calculations, studied here for n⩽2n⩽2, are found in good agreement with the data. Leading-order multiparton event generators, normalized to the NNLO total cross section, describe the data well for all measured jet multiplicities.We acknowledge the support of ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; SSTC, Belarus; CNPq and FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, NRC and CFI, Canada; CERN; CONICYT, Chile; CAS, MOST and NSFC, China; COLCIENCIAS, Colombia; MSMT CR, MPO CR and VSC CR, Czech Republic; DNRF, DNSRC and Lundbeck Foundation, Denmark; ARTEMIS, European Union; IN2P3-CNRS, CEA-DSM/IRFU, France; GNAS, Georgia; BMBF, DFG, HGF, MPG and AvH Foundation, Germany; GSRT, Greece; ISF, MINERVA, GIF, DIP and Benoziyo Center, Israel; INFN, Italy; and JSPS, Japan; CNRST, Morocco; FOM and NWO, Netherlands; RCN, Norway; MNiSW, Poland; GRICES and FCT, Portugal; MERYS (MECTS), Romania; MES of Russia and ROSATOM, Russian Federation; JINR; MSTD, Serbia; MSSR, Slovakia; ARRS and MVZT, Slovenia; DST/NRF, South Africa; MICINN, Spain; SRC and Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; SER, SNSF and Cantons of Bern and Geneva, Switzerland; NSC, Taiwan; TAEK, Turkey; STFC, the Royal Society and Leverhulme Trust, United Kingdom; DOE and NSF, United States of America.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
AdS2 holographic dictionary

We construct the holographic dictionary for both running and constant dilaton\ud
solutions of the 2D Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory obtained by a circle\ud
reduction from 3D gravity with negative cosmological constant. This specific\ud
model ensures that the dual theory has a well defined ultraviolet completion in\ud
terms of a 2D CFT, but our results apply qualitatively to a wider class of 2D\ud
dilaton gravity theories. For each type of solutions we perform holographic\ud
renormalization, compute the exact renormalized one-point functions in the\ud
presence of arbitrary sources, and derive the asymptotic symmetries and\ud
conserved charges. In both cases we find that the scalar operator dual to the\ud
dilaton plays a crucial role in the description of the dynamics. Its source\ud
gives rise to a matter conformal anomaly for the running dilaton solutions,\ud
while its expectation value is the only non trivial observable for constant\ud
dilaton solutions. The role of this operator has been largely overlooked in the\ud
literature. We further show that the only non trivial conserved charges for\ud
running dilaton solutions are the mass and the electric charge, while for\ud
constant dilaton solutions only the electric charge is non zero. However, by\ud
uplifting the solutions to three dimensions we show that constant dilaton\ud
solutions can support non trivial extended symmetry algebras, including the one\ud
found by Comp\`ere, Song and Strominger, in agreement with results by Castro\ud
and Song. Finally, we demonstrate that any solution of this specific dilaton\ud
gravity model can be uplifted to a family of asymptotically AdS$_2\times S^2$\ud
or conformally AdS$_2\times S^2$ solutions of the STU model in four dimensions.\ud
The four dimensional solutions obtained by uplifting the running dilaton\ud
solutions coincide with the so called `subtracted geometries', while those\ud
obtained from the uplift of the constant dilaton ones are new
Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate administration during early life : effects on performance, immunity and microbial community of European sea bass yolk-sac larvae

The reliable production of marine fish larvae is one of the major bottlenecks in aquaculture due to high mortalities mainly caused by infectious diseases. To evaluate if the compound poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) might be a suitable immunoprophylactic measure in fish larviculture, its capacity to improve immunity and performance in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) yolk-sac larvae was explored. PHB was applied from mouth opening onwards to stimulate the developing larval immune system at the earliest possible point in time. Larval survival, growth, microbiota composition, gene expression profiles and disease resistance were assessed. PHB administration improved larval survival and, furthermore, altered the larva-associated microbiota composition. The bacterial challenge test using pathogenic Vibrio anguillarum revealed that the larval disease resistance was not influenced by PHB. The expression profiles of 26 genes involved e.g. in the immune response showed that PHB affected the expression of the antimicrobial peptides ferritin (fer) and dicentracin (dic), however, the response to PHB was inconsistent and weaker than previously demonstrated for sea bass post-larvae. Hence, the present study highlights the need for more research focusing on the immunostimulation of different early developmental stages for gaining a more comprehensive picture and advancing a sustainable production of high quality fry
Climate change affecting oil palm agronomy, and oil palm cultivation increasing climate change, require amelioration

Palm oil is used in various valued commodities and is a large global industry worth over US$ 50 billion annually. Oil palms (OP) are grown commercially in Indonesia and Malaysia and other countries within Latin America and Africa. The large-scale land-use change has high ecological, economic, and social impacts. Tropical countries in particular are affected negatively by climate change (CC) which also has a detrimental impact on OP agronomy, whereas the cultivation of OP increases CC. Amelioration of both is required. The reduced ability to grow OP will reduce CC, which may allow more cultivation tending to increase CC, in a decreasing cycle. OP could be increasingly grown in more suitable regions occurring under CC. Enhancing the soil fauna may compensate for the effect of CC on OP agriculture to some extent. The effect of OP cultivation on CC may be reduced by employing reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation plans, for example, by avoiding illegal fire land clearing. Other ameliorating methods are reported herein. More research is required involving good management practices that can offset the increases in CC by OP plantations. Overall, OP-growing countries should support the Paris convention on reducing CC as the most feasible scheme for reducing CC.Portuguese Foundation for Science and

Regulatory role of Pax6 on cell division cycle associated 7 and cortical progenitor cell proliferation

Forebrain development is controlled by a set of transcription factors which are\ud
expressed in dynamic spatiotemporal patterns in the embryonic forebrain and are\ud
known to regulate complex gene networks. Pax6 is a transcription factor that\ud
regulates corticogenesis and mutations affecting Pax6 protein levels cause\ud
neurodevelopmental defects in the eyes and forebrain in both humans and mice. In\ud
previous studies, it was shown that the graded expression pattern of Pax6 protein,\ud
which is high rostro-laterally to low caudo-medially in the cerebral cortex, is critical\ud
for its control of cell cycle progression and proliferation of cortical progenitors.\ud
However the underlying mechanisms are still unclear.\ud
Based on a microarray analysis carried out in our laboratory, a number of cell cycle-related\ud
candidate genes that may be affected by Pax6 have been identified. One such\ud
gene, Cell division cycle associated 7 (Cdca7) is expressed in a counter-gradient\ud
against that of Pax6. In my current study, I found that Cdca7 mRNA expression in\ud
the telencephalon is upregulated in Pax6 null (Small eye) mutants and downregulated\ud
in mice that overexpress PAX6 (PAX77) across developing time points from E12.5 to\ud
E15.5. There are several potential Pax6 binding motifs located in the genomic locus\ud
upstream of Cdca7. However, by chromatin immunoprecipitation, it is showed that\ud
none of the predicted binding sites are physically bound by Pax6. Promoter luciferase\ud
assays using fragments combining five suspected binding motifs show that Pax6 is\ud
functionally critical.\ud
Cdca7 is also identified as a Myc and E2F1 direct target and is upregulated in some\ud
tumours but its biological role is not fully understood. Current work using in utero\ud
electroporation to overexpress Cdca7 around the lateral telencephalon, where Cdca7\ud
expression levels are normally low, tested the effects on the proliferation and\ud
differentiation of cortical progenitor cells in this region. In E12.5 mice embryos,\ud
overexpression of Cdca7 protein causes fewer intermediate progenitor cells and post-mitotic\ud
neurons to be produced but these effects were not found in E14.5 embryos.\ud
This result implies that Cdca7 may affect cell fate decision during cortical\ud
development
Ice margin oscillations during deglaciation of the northern Irish Sea Basin.

We present a new chronology to constrain ice‐margin retreat in the northern Irish Sea Basin. Estimates on the timing of ice thinning derived from surface exposure ages for boulders from the summits of the Isle of Man and south‐west Cumbria suggest that ice thinning was commensurate with the rapid retreat that followed the short‐lived advance of the Irish Sea Ice Stream (ISIS) to maximum limits in the Celtic Sea. This ice retreat in the northern Irish Sea Basin was fastest at 20 ka in response to a wider calving margin, but slowed as ice stabilized and oscillated against the Isle of Man. We provide the first age constraints for the Scottish Readvance (19.2–18.2 ka) and demonstrate that it was a potentially regional event across the Isle of Man and Cumbrian lowlands not linked with Heinrich Event 1. After the Scottish Readvance, the ice front retreated northwards towards the Southern Uplands of Scotland at the same time as climate north of ∼45°N warmed in response to summer insolation. This sequence demonstrates the importance of internal dynamics in controlling ice retreat rates in the Irish Sea, but also that deglaciation of the northern Irish Sea Basin was a response to climate warming
C-Nap1, a novel centrosomal coiled-coil protein and candidate substrate of the cell cycle-regulated protein kinase Nek2

Nek2 (for NIMA-related kinase 2) is a mammalian cell cycle-regulated kinase structurally related to the mitotic regulator NIMA of Aspergillus nidulans. In human cells, Nek2 associates with centrosomes, and overexpression of active Nek2 has drastic consequences for centrosome structure. Here, we describe the molecular characterization of a novel human centrosomal protein, C-Nap1 (for centrosomal Nek2-associated protein 1), first identified as a Nek2-interacting protein in a yeast two-hybrid screen. Antibodies raised against recombinant C-Nap1 produced strong labeling of centrosomes by immunofluorescence, and immunoelectron microscopy revealed that C-Nap1 is associated specifically with the proximal ends of both mother and daughter centrioles. On Western blots, anti-C-Nap1 antibodies recognized a large protein (<250 kD) that was highly enriched in centrosome preparations. Sequencing of overlapping cDNAs showed that C-Nap1 has a calculated molecular mass of 281 kD and comprises extended domains of predicted coiled-coil structure. Whereas C-Nap1 was concentrated at centrosomes in all interphase cells, immunoreactivity at mitotic spindle poles was strongly diminished. Finally, the COOH-terminal domain of C-Nap1 could readily be phosphorylated by Nek2 in vitro, as well as after coexpression of the two proteins in vivo. Based on these findings, we propose a model implicating both Nek2 and C-Nap1 in the regulation of centriole-centriole cohesion during the cell cycle
Effective actions for anomalous hydrodynamics.

We argue that an effective field theory of local fluid elements captures the constraints on hydrodynamic transport stemming from the presence of quantum anomalies in the underlying microscopic theory. Focussing on global current anomalies for an arbitrary flavour group, we derive the anomalous constitutive relations in arbitrary even dimensions. We demonstrate that our results agree with the constraints on anomaly governed transport derived hitherto using a local version of the second law of thermodynamics. The construction crucially uses the anomaly inflow mechanism and involves a novel thermofield double construction. In particular, we show that the anomalous Ward identities necessitate non-trivial interaction between the two parts of the Schwinger-Keldysh contour
