Location and Direction Dependent Effects in Collider Physics from Noncommutativity
We examine the leading order noncommutative corrections to the differential
and total cross sections for e+ e- --> q q-bar. After averaging over the
earth's rotation, the results depend on the latitude for the collider, as well
as the direction of the incoming beam. They also depend on scale and direction
of the noncommutativity. Using data from LEP, we exclude regions in the
parameter space spanned by the noncommutative scale and angle relative to the
earth's axis. We also investigate possible implications for phenomenology at
the future International Linear Collider.Comment: version to appear in PR
Multiscaling analysis of high resolution space-time lidar-rainfall
In this study, we report results from scaling analysis of 2.5 m spatial and 1 s temporal resolution lidar-rainfall data. The high resolution spatial and temporal data from the same observing system allows us to investigate the variability of rainfall at very small scales ranging from few meters to ~1 km in space and few seconds to ~30 min in time. The results suggest multiscaling behaviour in the lidar-rainfall with the scaling regime extending down to the resolution of the data. The results also indicate the existence of a space-time transformation of the form <i>t</i>~<i>L<sup>z</sup></i> at very small scales, where <i>t</i> is the time lag, <i>L</i> is the spatial averaging scale and <i>z</i> is the dynamic scaling exponent

Binding to medium and long chain fatty acyls is a common property of HEAT and ARM repeat modules.
Covalent post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins with acyl groups of various carbon chain-lengths regulates diverse biological processes ranging from chromatin dynamics to subcellular localization. While the YEATS domain has been found to be a prominent reader of acetylation and other short acyl modifications, whether additional acyl-lysine reader domains exist, particularly for longer carbon chains, is unclear. Here, we employed a quantitative proteomic approach using various modified peptide baits to identify reader proteins of various acyl modifications. We discovered that proteins harboring HEAT and ARM repeats bind to lysine myristoylated peptides. Recombinant HEAT and ARM repeats bind to myristoylated peptides independent of the peptide sequence or the position of the myristoyl group. Indeed, HEAT and ARM repeats bind directly to medium- and long-chain free fatty acids (MCFA and LCFA). Lipidomic experiments suggest that MCFAs and LCFAs interact with HEAT and ARM repeat proteins in mammalian cells. Finally, treatment of cells with exogenous MCFAs and inhibitors of MCFA-CoA synthases increase the transactivation activity of the ARM repeat protein β-catenin. Taken together, our results suggest an unappreciated role for fatty acids in the regulation of proteins harboring HEAT or ARM repeats

PROCESSES AND SUPPLY CHAINS
This Global Edition has been edited to include enhancements making it more relevant to studens outside the United States. The editorial taem at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the globe to include:
• NEW! Supply Chain Orientation: This text uniquely builds the concept of a supply chain from the ground up allowing students to see how effective internal processes lead the best supply chairs.
• NEW! Streamlined Design: Fewer chapters, less pages, and enhanced clarity allows students to engage each topic efficiently and effectively. Figures and photos have been added to improve the presentation of key concepts and techniques.
• NEW! Global Examples and Cases: Examples from Europe, Asia, Middle East and Australia are presented throughout the text for students in these regions to better appreciate the concepts presented
Revitalization of selected brownfields in urban space of Skierniewice with particular emphasis on environmentally friendly elements.
Transformation of urban space is a result of constant changes, which can also lead to a deterioration of the state of such space. City revitalization programs allow for the release of brownfields from crisis situations and adapting them to the needs of local communities, with particular emphasis on environmentally friendly elements. The aim of the article was to present the concept of revitalization activities, proposed for introduction in the brownfield site, in the city of Skierniewice, currently used by Stal-Car. These activities include treatments that can result in the creation of urban public spaces with environmentally friendly elements.Przekształcenie przestrzeni miejskiej to efekt ciągłych przemian, które mogą prowadzić również do pogorszenia jej stanu. Programy rewitalizacji miast pozwalają na wyprowadzenie ze stanu kryzysowego m.in. terenów poprzemysłowych i dostosowanie ich do wymogów lokalnych społeczności, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem elementów przyjaznych środowisku. W artykule za cel przyjęto stworzenie koncepcji działań rewitalizacyjnych proponowanych do wprowadzenia na terenie poprzemysłowym w Skierniewicach, obecnie użytkowanym przez firmę Stal-Car. Działania te obejmują zabiegi, których następstwem może być powstanie miejskiej przestrzeni publicznej z elementami przyjaznymi środowisku
Measurement of Rotational Events in Regions Prone to Seismicity: A Review
On the basis of the explanation of rotational seismology as an area of study, a modern approach to the seismic rotation in various continuum models is summarized. The aim of this chapter is to formulate the fundamental requirements for rotational seismometer. Consequently, a review of all existing technologies of rotational seismometers including mechanical, electrochemical, magnetohydrodynamical, as well as optical type solutions is discussed. The analysis of their parameters that considers technical requirements enforced by rotational seismology has indicated an optical instrument using a Sagnac interferometer as the best solution. Fibre-Optic System for Rotational Events & phenomena Monitoring (FOSREM) with its main parameters and features is described as an example of such solution. Moreover, the example of rotational events recorded in Książ observatory, Poland, using mechanical rotational seismometers and FOSREM is presented. There are data for M = 3.8 earthquake near Jarocin, Poland on the 2012.01.06 at 15:37:56 at a distance of about 200 km from Książ. Although the used devices have totally different designs, the results obtained using FOSREM and the results calculated by mechanical devices show compatibility in rotational signals
