UNA RARA INOCENCIA: EL DEBILITAMIENTO DE LA METÁFORA EN DALTON, ALEGRÍA, LEDESMA VÁZQUEZ Y WATANABE
No full textThis dissertation focuses on the strategies by which the poetic creation of four Latin American writers–Roque Dalton, Claribel Alegría, David Ledesma Vázquez and José Watanabe–is raised as resistance in regards to the use of a worn-out metaphorical exercise by which the bodies of indigenous or “classless” peoples, of women, of members of the LGBT-IQ community, and of animals, respectively, are regularly treated as symbols or as allegory, in detriment to their own dignity and life. In the corpus taken into consideration, the reader encounters a poetic language that favors a focus on the material realm; as well as the dismantling of ideologies from which an entire social apparatus has been constructed that promotes violence towards bodies and their instrumentalization. In each case, the poem evolves into a discourse in which the possibility of affect and the power of relationships is preserved. Hence the negativity in Dalton’s poetry, Alegría’s use of the re-appropriation of myth, the consciousness of abjection in Ledesma Vázquez, and the detached journey in Watanabe
Mariannaea imbricata D. Hirose & K. Watanabe 2021, sp. nov.
No full textMariannaea imbricata D. Hirose & K. Watanabe sp. nov. (Figure 3) MycoBank no.: 840111 Description: Sexual morph not observed. Colony diam., 7 d, in mm (average): PDA: 5˚ C (2), 10˚ C (8), 15˚ C (11), 20˚ C (26), 25˚ C (31), 30˚ C (31), and 35˚ C (no growth); MEA: 25˚ C (34). Colonies on PDA at 25˚ C, matted felt at center, indistinctly zonate, with undulate margins, irregularly oriented and coarsely undulated, producing radially oriented fan-shaped structures from the center to margin, amber with white margin and reverse sienna with white margin. Colonies on MEA at 25 ° C, matted felt at center, indistinctly zonate, with undulate margins, irregularly oriented and coarsely undulate, producing radially oriented fan-shaped structures from center to margin, white with ochreous margin, and reverse umber with fulvous margin. On PDA: hyphae 1.4‒6.3 µm wide, hyaline, smooth, thin-walled, branched and septate. Conidiophores 167.7‒798.4 µm (mean 451.0 µm, n = 50) long, 3.7‒8.5 µm (mean 6.1 µm, n = 50) wide at the basal cell, generally macronematous, mononematous, erect, septate, smooth thin-walled, hyaline, bearing short branches with 1–2 whorls of 2–5 phialides, or phialides formed in verticils on long main stalk. Phialides 6.2‒16.9 × 1.2‒2.4 (mean 10.4 × 1.7 µm, L / W 6.2, n = 50), typically slender flask-shaped, hyaline and smooth-walled. Conidia 4.7‒10.9 × 1.8‒3.2 µm (mean 6.2 × 2.5 µm, L / W 2.5, n = 50), generally fusiform to ellipsoidal, hyaline, smooth and thin-walled, aseptate and produced in imbricate chains. Chlamydospores 7.2‒22.2 × 4.6‒12.3 µm (mean 10.8 × 6.2 µm, L / W 1.7, n = 50), intercalary or terminal, produced singly or in short chains, globose to sub-globose, hyaline and thick-walled. Etymology: The epithet “imbricata” refers to the irregularly oriented and coarsely undulate morphology from the center to margins of colonies grown on PDA and MEA. Type: Sugadaira, Nagano, Japan, 2008, isolated from the decayed needles of Pinus densiflora (Holotype, TNS-F- 91410, dried culture on PDA; ex-type culture, NBRC 33105). Notes: Mariannaea imbricata is morphologically similar to M. atlantica, M. fusiformis, M. punicea, and M. terricola, but can be distinguished from these congeners by its slender flask-shaped phialides with a smooth-walled texture. The colonies are characterized by an amber to white pigmentation on PDA and a central matted felt texture, and with the center to margins irregularly oriented and coarsely undulate on PDA and MEA. This species does not form reddish-purple colonies. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS and TUB-2 sequences can also be used to distinguish these species.Published as part of Watanabe, Kohei & Hirose, Dai, 2021, A novel Mariannaea species isolated from decayed pine needles in Japan, pp. 211-220 in Phytotaxa 522 (3) on pages 217-218, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.522.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/556041
Note on quantum dynamical entropies
No full textClassical dynamical entropy is an important tool to analyse the efficiency of information transmission in communication processes. Quantum dynamical entropy was first studied by Connes, Størmer and Emch. Since then, there have been many attempts to formulate or compute the dynamical entropy for some models. Here we review four formulations due to
1.(a) Connes, Narnhofer and Thirring,
2.(b) Ohya,
3.(c) Accardi, Ohya and Watanabe,
4.(d) Alicki and Fannes.
We consider mutual relations between these formulations and we show some concrete computations for a model
LHC constraints and prospects for S1 scalar leptoquark explaining the B →d (∗)τ ν anomaly
No full textRecently, deviations in flavor observables of B→D(∗)τν have been shown between the predictions in the Standard Model and the experimental results reported by BABAR, Belle, and LHCb collaborations. One of the solutions to this anomaly is obtained in a class of leptoquark model with a scalar leptoquark boson S1, which is a SU(3)c triplet and SU(2)L singlet particle with -1/3 hypercharge interacting with a quark-lepton pair. With well-adjusted couplings, this model can explain the anomaly and be compatible with all flavor constraints. In such a case, the S1 boson can be pair-produced at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and subsequently decay as S1∗→tτ, bντ, and cτ. This paper explores the current 8 and 13 TeV constraints, as well as the detailed prospects at 14 TeV, of this flavor-motivated S1 model. From the current available 8 and 13 TeV LHC searches, we obtain constraints on the S1 boson mass for MS1<400-640 GeV depending on values of the leptoquark couplings to fermions. Then we study future prospects for this scenario at the 14 TeV LHC using detailed cut analyses and evaluate exclusion and discovery potentials for the flavor-motivated S1 leptoquark model from searches for the (bν)(bν) and (cτ)(cτ) final states. In the latter case, we consider several scenarios for the identification of charm jets. As a result, we find that the S1 leptoquark origin of the B→D(∗)τν anomaly can be probed with MS1600/800 GeV at the 14 TeV LHC with L=300/3000 fb-1 of accumulated data. One can also see that the 14 TeV LHC run II with L=300 fb-1 can exclude the S1 leptoquark boson up to MS1∼0.8 TeV at 95% confidence level, whereas a future 14 TeV LHC with L=3000 fb-1 data has a potential to discover the S1 leptoquark boson with its mass up to MS1∼1.1 TeV with over 5σ significance, from the (bν)(bν) and/or (cτ)(cτ) searches. © 2016 American Physical Society282411Nsciescopu
Probing new physics with q(2) distributions in (B)over-bar -> D-(*()) tau(nu)over-bar
No full textRecent experimental results for the ratios of the branching fractions of the decays (B) over bar -> D-(*())tau(nu) over bar and (B) over bar -> D-(*())tau(nu) over bar came as a surprise and lead to a discussion of possibility of testing new physics beyond the standard model through these modes. We show that these decay channels can provide us with good constraints on new physics and several new physics cases are favored by the present experimental data. In order to discriminate various new physics scenarios, we examine the q(2) distributions and estimate the sensitivity of this potential measurement at the SuperKEKB/Belle II experiment.243011Nsciescopu

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
