Holography and entropy bounds in Gauss–Bonnet gravity

AbstractWe discuss the holography and entropy bounds in Gauss–Bonnet gravity theory. By applying a Geroch process to an arbitrary spherically symmetric black hole, we show that the Bekenstein entropy bound always keeps its form as SB=2πER, independent of gravity theories. As a result, the Bekenstein–Verlinde bound also remains unchanged. Along the Verlinde's approach, we obtain the Bekenstein–Hawking bound and Hubble bound, which are different from those in Einstein gravity. Furthermore, we note that when HR=1, the three cosmological entropy bounds become identical as in the case of Einstein gravity. But the corresponding Friedmann equation in Gauss–Bonnet gravity can no longer be cast to the form of cosmological Cardy formula
Frontline Dasatinib Treatment in a “Real-Life” Cohort of Patients Older than 65 Years with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

AbstractDasatinib (DAS) has been licensed for the frontline treatment in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, very few data are available regarding its efficacy and toxicity in elderly patients with CML outside clinical trials. To address this issue, we set out a “real-life” cohort of 65 chronic phase CML patients older than 65 years (median age 75.1 years) treated frontline with DAS in 26 Italian centers from June 2012 to June 2015, focusing our attention on toxicity and efficacy data. One third of patients (20/65: 30.7%) had 3 or more comorbidities and required concomitant therapies; according to Sokal classification, 3 patients (4.6%) were low risk, 39 (60.0%) intermediate risk, and 20 (30.8%) high risk, whereas 3 (4.6%) were not classifiable. DAS starting dose was 100 mg once a day in 54 patients (83.0%), whereas 11 patients (17.0%) received less than 100 mg/day. Grade 3/4 hematologic and extrahematologic toxicities were reported in 8 (12.3%) and 12 (18.5%) patients, respectively. Overall, 10 patients (15.4%) permanently discontinued DAS because of toxicities. Pleural effusions (all WHO grades) occurred in 12 patients (18.5%) and in 5 of them occurred during the first 3 months. DAS treatment induced in 60/65 patients (92.3%) a complete cytogenetic response and in 50/65 (76.9%) also a major molecular response. These findings show that DAS might play an important role in the frontline treatment of CML patients >65 years old, proving efficacy and having a favorable safety profile also in elderly subjects with comorbidities
Algebraic transformation of differential characteristic decompositions from one ranking to another

AbstractWe propose an algorithm for transforming a characteristic decomposition of a radical differential ideal from one ranking into another. The algorithm is based on a new bound: we show that, in the ordinary case, for any ranking, the order of each element of the canonical characteristic set of a characterizable differential ideal is bounded by the order of the ideal. Applying this bound, the algorithm determines the number of times one needs to differentiate the given differential polynomials, so that a characteristic decomposition w.r.t. the target ranking could be computed by a purely algebraic algorithm (that is, without further differentiations). We also propose a factorization-free algorithm for computing the canonical characteristic set of a characterizable differential ideal represented as a radical ideal by a set of generators. This algorithm is not restricted to the ordinary case and is applicable for an arbitrary ranking
A remarkable relationship of the stable carbon isotopic compositions of wood and cellulose in tree-rings of the tropical species Cariniana micrantha (Ducke) from Brazil

AbstractThe stable isotopes of carbon were analysed in total wood and cellulose from the tree-rings of the tropical wood species Cariniana micrantha (Ducke). The aim was to examine the isotopic relationship between total wood and its cellulose over the last two and a half centuries. Although the correlation for the whole time period is very high (r=0.96) it is remarkable that different sub-periods deviate strongly from this close relationship. Consequently, a good correlation from the subset of a longer isotopic record cannot necessarily prove its validity for the whole record. The study indicates that changes of the carbon isotopes of cellulose and of total wood show sometimes during short sub-periods different isotope patterns presumably caused by different environmental effects. Thorough calculations indicate that strong variations within the isotopic record especially changes of the isotopic level along a chronology lead to high correlations between δ13Cwood and δ13Ccel. Contrary thereto subsections with low isotopic variability lead to low correlations. The results imply that long term trends provide similar patterns. Therefore, if long term trends are of interest such as e.g. in climate reconstruction then total wood can be analysed in favour of cellulose, thus saving a tremendous amount of work. However, if short term aspects from a longer record are of interest, cellulose and total wood may sometimes provide different information. In addition it is hypothesized that during intervals of low isotopic variability the proportions of the various wood components may change relative to each other, leading for certain time intervals to different isotope patterns
Descriptors of Posidonia oceanica meadows : use and application

This work benefited partly from the financial support of the European program ΓNTERREG IIIA Corsica, Sardinia. TuscanyThe conservation of the coastal marine environment requires the possession of information that enables the global quality of the environment to be evaluated reliably and relatively quickly. The use of biological indicators is often an appropriate method. Seagrasses in general, and Posidonia oceanica meadows in particular, are considered to be appropriate for biomonitoring because of their wide distribution, reasonable size, sedentary habit, easy collection and abundance and sensitivity to modifications of littoral zone. Reasoned management, on the scale of the whole Mediterranean basin, requires standardized methods of study, to be applied by both researchers and administrators, enabling comparable results to be obtained. This paper synthesises the existing methods applied to monitor P. oceanica meadows, identifies the most suitable techniques and suggests future research directions. From the results of a questionnaire, distributed to all the identified laboratories working on this topic, a list of the most commonly used descriptors was drawn up, together with the related research techniques (e.g. standardization, interest and limits, valuation of the results). It seems that the techniques used to study meadows are rather similar, but rarely identical, even though the various teams often refer to previously published works. This paper shows the interest of a practical guide that describes, in a standardized way, the most useful techniques enabling P. oceanica meadows to be used as an environmental descriptor. Indeed, it constitutes the first stage in the process.peer-reviewe
AdS$_5$ magnetized solutions in minimal gauged supergravity

We construct a generalization of the AdS charged rotating black holes with
two equal magnitude angular momenta in five-dimensional minimal gauged
supergravity. In addition to the mass, electric charge and angular momentum,
the new solutions possess an extra-parameter associated with a non-zero
magnitude of the magnetic potential at infinity. In contrast with the known
cases, these new black holes possess a non-trivial zero-horizon size limit
which describes a one parameter family of spinning charged solitons. All
configurations reported in this work approach asymptotically an AdS$_5$
spacetime in global coordinates and are free of pathologies.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, typos corrected and references added, matches

Barefoot vs common footwear:A systematic review of the kinematic, kinetic and muscle activity differences during walking

Habitual footwear use has been reported to influence foot structure with an acute exposure being shown to alter foot position and mechanics. The foot is highly specialised thus these changes in structure/position could influence functionality. This review aims to investigate the effect of footwear on gait, specifically focussing on studies that have assessed kinematics, kinetics and muscle activity between walking barefoot and in common footwear. In line with PRISMA and published guidelines, a literature search was completed across six databases comprising Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, AMED, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. Fifteen of 466 articles met the predetermined inclusion criteria and were included in the review. All articles were assessed for methodological quality using a modified assessment tool based on the STROBE statement for reporting observational studies and the CASP appraisal tool. Walking barefoot enables increased forefoot spreading under load and habitual barefoot walkers have anatomically wider feet. Spatial-temporal differences including, reduced step/stride length and increased cadence, are observed when barefoot. Flatter foot placement, increased knee flexion and a reduced peak vertical ground reaction force at initial contact are also reported. Habitual barefoot walkers exhibit lower peak plantar pressures and pressure impulses, whereas peak plantar pressures are increased in the habitually shod wearer walking barefoot. Footwear particularly affects the kinematics and kinetics of gait acutely and chronically. Little research has been completed in older age populations (50+ years) and thus further research is required to better understand the effect of footwear on walking across the lifespan
OIFITS 2: the 2$^{nd}$ version of the data exchange standard for optical interferometry

This paper describes version 2 of the Optical Interferometry exchange Format (OIFITS), the standard for exchanging calibrated data from optical (visible or infrared) interferometers. This IAU-endorsed standard has been in use for 10 years at most of the past and current optical interferometer projects, including COAST, NPOI, IOTA, CHARA, VLTI, PTI and the Keck interferometer. Software is available for reading, writing and merging OIFITS files. This version 2 provides definitions of additional data tables (for example for polarisation measurements), addressing the needs of future interferometric instruments. Also included are data columns for a more rigorous description of measurement errors and their correlations. In that, this document is a step towards the design of a common data model for optical interferometry. Finally, the main OIFITS header is expanded with several new keywords summarising the content to allow doing data base searches.This work has benefitted of the support of the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2013-2016) under Grant Agreement 312430 (OPTICON) and of the French ANR POLCA, ANR- 10-BLAN-0511.This is the author accepted manuscript.

Investigation of the electrocaloric effect in a PbMg2/3Nb1/3O3-PbTiO3 relaxor thin film

Permittivity measurements of a 0.93PMN-0.07PT thin film show a broad maximum near 35 degrees C, and an anomaly at the depolarizing temperature T-d=18 degrees C on heating only, suggesting a dipolar glass-relaxor phase transition. No structural phase transition at 18 degrees C is apparent from ferroelectric hysteresis loops taken on field cooling and field heating. These loops show the thermal hysteresis expected for ferroelectric relaxors, which has not hitherto been experimentally verified in PbMg2/3Nb1/3O3-PbTiO3 thin films. Our data suggest the intriguing possibility of a giant electrocaloric effect (Delta T=9 K, Delta E=720 kV cm(-1)) at and near room temperature. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics.

Measurements of inclusive W and Z cross sections in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV The CMS collaboration

Measurements of inclusive W and Z boson production cross sections in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV are presented, based on 2.9 pb-1 of data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurements, performed in the electron and muon decay channels, are combined to give σ(pp → WX) × B(W → l?) = 9.95 ± 0.07 (stat.) ± 0.28 (syst.) ± 1.09 (lumi.) nb and σ(pp → ZX) × B(Z → l +l-) = 0.931 ± 0.026 (stat.) ± 0.023 (syst.) ± 0.102 (lumi.) nb, where l stands for either e or μ. Theoretical predictions, calculated at the next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD using recent parton distribution functions, are in agreement with the measured cross sections. Ratios of cross sections, which incur an experimental systematic uncertainty of less than 4%, are also reported.The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey, and Turkish Atomic Energy Authorit
Measurement of Inclusive Jet Production in Deep-Inelastic Scattering at High Q$^{2}$ and Determination of the Strong Coupling

Inclusive jet production is studied in neutral current deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering at large four momentum transfer squared Q^2>150 GeV^2 with the H1 detector at HERA. Single and double differential inclusive jet cross sections are measured as a function of Q^2 and of the transverse energy E_T of the jets in the Breit frame. The measurements are found to be well described by calculations at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. The running of the strong coupling is demonstrated and the value of alpha_s(M_Z) is determined. The ratio of the inclusive jet cross section to the inclusive neutral current cross section is also measured and used to extract a precise value for alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1193+/-0.0014(exp.)^{+0.0047}_{-0.0030}(th.)+/-0.0016(pdf).Inclusive jet production is studied in neutral current deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering at large four momentum transfer squared Q^2>150 GeV^2 with the H1 detector at HERA.

The Behavioural Semantics of Event-B Refinement

Event-B provides a flexible framework for stepwise system development via refinement. The framework supports steps for (a) refining events (one-by-one), (b) splitting events (one-by-many), and (c) introducing new events. In each of the steps events can be indicated as convergent (to be made internal) or anticipated (treatment deferred to a later refinement step). All such steps are accompanied with precise proof obligations. However, no behavioural semantics has been provided to validate the proof obligations, and no formal justification has previously been given for the application of these rules in a refinement chain. Behavioural semantics expresses a clear relationship between the first and last machines in a refinement chain. The framework we present provides a coherent justification for Abrial’s approach to refinement in Event-B, and its generalisation to interface extension: adding events to the interface. In this paper, we give a behavioural semantics for Event-B refinement, with a treatment for the first time of splitting events and of anticipated events, adding to the well-understood treatment of convergent events. To this end, we define a CSP semantics for Event-B and show how the different forms of Event-B refinement can be captured as CSP refinement. It turns out that the appropriate CSP refinement relationship is influenced by the particular Event-B development strategy taken. We present two such strategies, one allowing, the other disallowing interface extensions
Walking when intoxicated : an investigation of the factors which influence individuals' drink walking intentions

Annually, in Australia, 10-15% of all road-related fatalities involve pedestrians. Of those pedestrians fatally injured, approximately 45% were walking while intoxicated or 'drink walking'. Drink walking is increasing in prevalence and younger persons may be especially prone to engage in this behaviour and, thus, are at heightened risk of being injured or killed. Presently, limited research is available regarding the factors which influence individuals to drink walk. This study explored young people's (17-25 years) intentions to drink walk, using an extended Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). Participants (N = 215), completed a self-report questionnaire which assessed the standard TPB constructs (attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control) as well as the extended constructs of risk perception, anticipated regret, and past behaviour. It was hypothesised that the standard TPB constructs would significantly predict individuals' reported intentions to drink walk and that the additional constructs would predict intentions over and above the TPB constructs. The TPB variables significantly predicted 63.2% of the variance in individuals' reported intentions to drink walk, and the additional variables, combined, explained a further 6.1% of the variance. Of the additional constructs, anticipated regret and past behaviour, but not risk perception, were significant predictors of drink walking intentions. As one of the first studies to provide a theoretically-based investigation of factors influencing individuals' drink walking intentions, the current study's findings have potentially significant implications for understanding young people's decisions to drink walk and the design of future countermeasures to ultimately reduce this behaviour
Search for new physics with jets and missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV

A search for new physics is presented based on an event signature of at least three jets accompanied by large missing transverse momentum, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarns collected in proton--proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. No excess of events is observed above the expected standard model backgrounds, which are all estimated from the data. Exclusion limits are presented for the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. Cross section limits are also presented using simplified models with new particles decaying to an undetected particle and one or two jets
Co-residence with a child and happiness among older widows in Europe: does gender of the child matter?

Both coresidence patterns and the reported well-being of older people vary widely across Europe for a variety of economic, cultural, and historical factors. We investigate how far 2 indicators of well-being, happiness and life satisfaction, vary according to whether or not older women live with their children and, in particular, with son(s) or daughters(s). We compare outcomes for women who are unpartnered widows, the great majority of whom will have had children, so those with and without coresident children may be compared. We use data for 34 countries in Europe by combining 7 waves of the European Social Survey for the period 2002–2014 (N = 18,500). We control for a range of other variables known to be associated with well-being including health status, socioeconomic position, and social support. Results show that widows living with a child were happier than those living without a child (generally alone) but that in Eastern and Southern Europe it was only living with a daughter that had this positive effect. Older age was associated with higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction. Other associations, and regional differences, were as expected with lower levels of happiness in Eastern Europe and for those with poorer health and fewer social resources. These findings indicate the important influence of contextual factors on associations between living arrangements and the well-being of older people and a need for further work on possible negative impacts of living alone on the well-being of older European
Localisation in a growth model with interaction

This paper concerns the long term behaviour of a growth model describing a
random sequential allocation of particles on a finite cycle graph. The model
can be regarded as a reinforced urn model with graph-based interactions. It is
motivated by cooperative sequential adsorption, where adsorption rates at a
site depend on the configuration of existing particles in the neighbourhood of
that site. Our main result is that, with probability one, the growth process
will eventually localise either at a single site, or at a pair of neighbouring
sites.Comment: 31 pages, 2 figure
