What Can Aphasia Tell Us about How the First-Acquired Language Is Instantiated in the Brain?

Recent neurolinguistic theories converge on the hypothesis that the languages of multilingual people are processed as one system in the brain. One system for the multiple languages is also at the core of a translanguaging framework of multilingualism—a framework that focuses on each speaker’s complete linguistic repertoire rather than on the separate languages they know. However, evidence from neuroimaging studies suggests at least some nonoverlapping activations of the first-acquired language (L1) and other (non-L1) languages of multilingual people, especially when the age of acquisition and/or levels of proficiency differ across the languages. Neurolinguistic studies of acquired language disorders have demonstrated that in multilingual people who experience language impairments due to brain lesion, L1 may be less impaired or better recovered than non-L1. This paper explores the evidence available to date from the study of acquired language impairment regarding this potential primacy of the first-acquired language. Findings suggest that L1 may be better preserved in many instances of language impairment, challenging the theory of a single system for multiple languages.
Integrality structures in topological strings I: framed unknot

We study the open string integrality invariants (LMOV invariants) for toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds with Aganagic-Vafa brane (AV-brane). In this paper, we focus on the case of the resolved conifold with one out AV-brane in any integer framing $\tau$, which is the large $N$ duality of the Chern-Simons theory for a framed unknot with integer framing $\tau$ in $S^3$. We compute the explicit formulas for the LMOV invariants in genus $g=0$ with any number of holes, and prove their integrality. For the higher genus LMOV invariants with one hole, they are reformulated into a generating function $g_{m}(q,a)$, and we prove that $g_{m}(q,a)\in (q^{1/2}-q^{-1/2})^{-2}\mathbb{Z}[(q^{1/2}-q^{-1/2})^2,a^{\pm 1/2}]$ for any integer $m\geq 1$. As a by product, we compute the reduced open string partition function of $\mathbb{C}^3$ with one AV-brane in framing $\tau$. We find that, for $\tau\leq -1$, this open string partition function is equivalent to the Hilbert-Poincare series of the Cohomological Hall algebra of the $|\tau|$-loop quiver. It gives an open string GW/DT correspondence.
Second-Order Nédélec Curl-Conforming Hexahedral Element for Computational Electromagnetics

We follow a systematic approach to obtain mixed-order curl-conforming basis functions for the hexahedron that are compatible with basis functions for tetrahedra and triangular prisms previously published. The approach is mathematically sound since we obtain the functions as the dual basis with respect to properly discretized Nédélec degrees of freedom. Well-conditioned bases without the need for added orthogonalization procedures are obtained. We provide simple closed-form expressions for second-order basis functions in a reference hexahedron in terms of integer coefficients and monomials. The expressions are ready to use as long as the appropriate geometric mappings are made. We apply the Method of Manufactured Solutions (MMS) to a finite-element double curl vector wave formulation for verification purposes; specifically, we conduct a study of the non-symmetrical structure of the corresponding tensor product finite-element space. We also solve generalized eigenvalue problems for well-known cavities. We provide the open-source code for generating the coefficients, evaluating the basis functions, and computing the finite-element matrices involved in some of the numerical solutions shown in the article.
A new upper bound for numbers with the Lehmer property and its application to repunit numbers

A composite positive integer [Formula: see text] has the Lehmer property if [Formula: see text] divides [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is an Euler totient function. In this paper, we shall prove that if [Formula: see text] has the Lehmer property, then [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the number of prime divisors of [Formula: see text]. We apply this bound to repunit numbers and prove that there are at most finitely many numbers with the Lehmer property in the set [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] denotes the highest power of 2 that divides [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is a fixed real number.
Handle Slides and Localizations of Categories

We propose a means by which some categoriﬁcations can be evaluated at a root of unity. This is implemented using a suitable localization in the context of prior work by the authors on categoriﬁcation of the Jones-Wenzl projectors. Within this construction we deﬁne objects, invariant under handle slides, which decategorify to the SU(2) quantum invariants at low levels.
Inner tube formulas for polytopes

We show that the volume of the inner $r$-neighborhood of a polytope in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space is a pluri-phase Steiner-like function, i.e. a continuous piecewise polynomial function of degree $d$, proving thus a conjecture of Lapidus and Pearse. In the case when the polytope is dimension-wise equiangular we determine the coefficients of the initial polynomial as functions of the dihedral angles and the skeletal volumes of the polytope. We discuss also the degree of differentiability of this function and give a lower bound in terms of the set of normal vectors of the hyperplanes defining the polytope. We give also sufficient conditions for the highest differentiability degree to be attained.
Deformations of coisotropic submanifolds in Jacobi manifolds

In this paper, we attach an $L_\infty$-algebra to any coisotropic submanifold in a Jacobi manifold. Our construction generalizes and unifies analogous constructions by Oh-Park (symplectic case), Cattaneo-Felder (Poisson case), Le-Oh (locally conformal symplectic case). As a new special case, we attach an $L_\infty$-algebra to any coisotropic submanifold in a contact manifold. The $L_\infty$-algebra of a coisotropic submanifold $S$ governs the (formal) deformation problem of $S$.
Mixed transitional metal oxide of MnFe2O4 synthesized by solution combustion method and their electrochemical applications

Mixed transition metal oxide (MTMO) MnFe2O4 was synthesized by the solution combustion method. The X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the cubic spinel structure with space group Fd3m. A specific capacity of 136 mAh g−1 in 1 M KOH and 193 mAh g−1 in 1 M LiOH was obtained through cyclic voltammetry. The formation of nanoparticles of size around 40 nm and porous nature of the surface was observed under field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) which reveals its use as electrode material in Li‐ion batteries. An absorption edge around 500 nm and a band gap of 1.56 eV were obtained from UV spectra. This lower band gap will cause easier excitation of the electrons useful for energy storage devices.
Potential Nosocomial Infections by the Zika and Chikungunya Viruses in Public Health Facilities in the Metropolitan Area of Recife, Brazil

Since 2015, the Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya viruses gained notoriety for their impact in public health in many parts of the globe, including Brazil. In Recife, the capital of Pernambuco State, the introduction of ZIKV impacted human population tremendously, owing to the increase in the number of neurological cases, such as the Guillain–Barré and congenital Zika disorders. Later, Recife was considered to be the epicenter for ZIKV epidemics in Brazil. For arboviral diseases, there are some risk factors, such as climate changes, low socioeconomic conditions, and the high densities of vectors populations, that favor the broad and rapid dispersion of these three viruses in the city. Therefore, continuous arbovirus surveillance provides an important tool for detecting these arboviruses and predicting new outbreaks. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the circulation of DENV, ZIKV, and CHIKV by RT-qPCR in mosquitoes collected in health care units from the metropolitan area of Recife (MAR), during 2018. A total of 2321 female mosquitoes (357 pools) belonging to two species, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus, were collected from 18 different healthcare units, distributed in five cities from the MAR. Twenty-three pools were positive for ZIKV, out of which, seventeen were of C. quinquefasciatus and six were of A. aegypti. Positive pools were collected in 11/18 health care units screened, with Cq values ranging from 30.0 to 37.4 and viral loads varying from 1.88 × 107 to 2.14 × 109 RNA copies/mL. Nosocomial Aedes- and Culex-borne transmission of arbovirus are widely ignored by surveillance and vector control programs, even though healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are considered a serious threat to patient safety worldwide. Although the results presented here concern only the epidemiological scenario from 2018 in MAR, the potential of hospital-acquired transmission through mosquito bites is being overlooked by public health authorities. It is, therefore, of the ultimate importance to establish specific control programs for these locations.
Geometric aspects of Painlevé equations

In this paper a comprehensive review is given on the current status of achievements in the geometric aspects of the Painlevé equations, with a particular emphasis on the discrete Painlevé equations. The theory is controlled by the geometry of certain rational surfaces called the spaces of initial values, which are characterized by eight point configuration on P 1 × P 1 and classified according to the degeneration of points. We give a systematic description of the equations and their various properties, such as affine Weyl group symmetries, hypergeometric solutions and Lax pairs under this framework, by using the language of Picard lattice and root systems. We also provide with a collection of basic data; equations, point configurations/root data, Weyl group representations, Lax pairs, and hypergeometric solutions of all possible cases.
Relation of Health-Related Quality of Life with Glycemic Control and Use of Diabetes Technology in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes: Results from a National Population Based Study

Objective The primary aim was to analyse the association between diabetes-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and HbA1c in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The secondary aims were to evaluate the associations between diabetes-specific HRQOL and age, sex, diabetes duration, and the use of diabetes technology in diabetes treatment. Research Design and Methods. Children with type 1 diabetes (10-17 years, N = 1,019) and parents (children <10 years, N = 371; 10-17 years, N = 1,070) completed the DISABKIDS diabetes-specific questionnaire (DDM-10) as part of the 2017 data collection for the Norwegian Childhood Diabetes Registry. The DDM-10 consists of two subscales—‘impact' and ‘treatment'—with six and four items, respectively. In the linear regression models, the items and subscales were outcome variables, while HbA1c, age, sex, diabetes duration, insulin pump use, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system use were predictor variables. Results Lower HbA1c measurements and male sex were associated with higher HRQOL scores on both DDM-10 scales in the age group 10-17 years, but not in children under 10 years. Parents gave lower HRQOL scores than children in the 10-17 age group. Insulin pump and CGM use were not significantly associated with HRQOL on the impact and treatment scale. Conclusions Low HbA1c and male sex are significantly associated with high HRQOL in children aged 10-17 with type 1 diabetes, but the use of diabetes technology is not positively associated with HRQOL. Differences in child- and parent-reported scores imply that parents might both over- and underestimate their child's HRQOL.
Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy Spaces Associated with Operators Satisfying Reinforced Off-Diagonal Estimates

Abstract Let X be a metric space with doubling measure and L a one-to-one operator of type ω having a bounded H∞ -functional calculus in L2(X) satisfying the reinforced (pL; qL) off-diagonal estimates on balls, where pL ∊ [1; 2) and qL ∊ (2;∞]. Let φ : X × [0;∞) → [0;∞) be a function such that φ (x;·) is an Orlicz function, φ(·;t) ∊ A∞(X) (the class of uniformly Muckenhoupt weights), its uniformly critical upper type index l(φ) ∊ (0;1] and φ(·; t) satisfies the uniformly reverse Hölder inequality of order (qL/l(φ))′, where (qL/l(φ))′ denotes the conjugate exponent of qL/l(φ). In this paper, the authors introduce a Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space Hφ;L(X), via the Lusin-area function associated with L, and establish its molecular characterization. In particular, when L is nonnegative self-adjoint and satisfies the Davies-Gaffney estimates, the atomic characterization of Hφ,L(X) is also obtained. Furthermore, a sufficient condition for the equivalence between Hφ,L(ℝn) and the classical Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space Hv(ℝn) is given. Moreover, for the Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space Hφ,L(ℝn) associated with the second order elliptic operator in divergence form on ℝn or the Schrödinger operator L := −Δ + V with 0 ≤ V ∊ L1loc(ℝn), the authors further obtain its several equivalent characterizations in terms of various non-tangential and radial maximal functions; finally, the authors show that the Riesz transform ∇L−1/2 is bounded from Hφ,L(ℝn) to the Musielak-Orlicz space Lφ(ℝn) when i(φ) ∊ (0; 1], from Hφ,L(ℝn) to Hφ(ℝn) when i(φ) ∊ (; 1], and from Hφ,L(ℝn) to the weak Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space WHφ(ℝn) when i(φ)=is attainable and φ(·; t) ∊ A1(X), where i(φ) denotes the uniformly critical lower type index of φ
Antibiotic Use in Caesarean Section and Hysterectomy Procedure : Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment

Antibiotic resistance is a global issue and its incidence is increasing. Resistance occurs because of the use of antibiotics that are not wise and appropriate so causing a decrease in the antibiotic effectiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the choice of antibiotics in caesarean section and hysterectomy. A retrospective study was conducted from September 2016 - January 2017 in obstetrics and gynecology ward in a private hospital. Data were analyzed quantitatively using the ATC/DDD method and qualitatively based on The guidelines of The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG): Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Gynecologic Procedures and The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP): Clinical Practice Guidelines for Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Surgery. Overall, 90 of the 95 patients were given prophylactic antibiotics. The most commonly used antibiotics are ceftriaxone and ceftazidime. The suitability of the selection of antibiotics based on the guidelines for caesarean section was 1.75% and hysterectomy was 6.1%. The use of antibiotics in the procedure is very high but it is not appropriate in its selection. It is necessary to evaluate and assess periodically the use of antibiotics. so that the in resistance is reduced
A new cubic nonconforming finite element on rectangles

A new nonconforming rectangle element with cubic convergence for the energy norm is introduced. The degrees of freedom (DOFs) are defined by the 12 values at the three Gauss points on each of the four edges. Due to the existence of one linear relation among the above DOFs, it turns out the DOFs are 11. The nonconforming element consists of P 3 ⊕ Span { x 3 y − x y 3 } . We count the corresponding dimension for Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems of second‐order elliptic problems. We also present the optimal error estimates in both broken energy and L 2 ( Ω ) norms. Finally, numerical examples match our theoretical results very well. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of pickling treatments and species on the properties of processed
mushrooms (Pleurotus species)

Mushrooms are important macroscopic fungi, high in vitamins, minerals, proteins, and low in fats, but they are underutilized in developing countries due to seasonal scarcity, unavailability and misconception about fungi. The study focused on processing mushroom species by pickling and drying and; evaluating their chemical and physical properties. Four batches of pickled mushrooms were prepared from Pleurotus pulmonarius and Pleurotus ostreatus by pickling each species separately in vinegar and spiced brine solution for 19 hrs, followed by oven drying. The samples were analysed for physical and chemical properties using standard procedures. The research showed that there was insignificant difference (p>0.05) in the protein (19.08-23.87%), fat (0.66-0.92%), crude fibre (19.25-25.89%) and carbohydrates (37.04-42.56%) content among both species and pretreatments. Pleurotus pulmonarius showed significantly higher calcium and magnesium content for both treatments than P. ostreatus. L* and b* values of the colour parameters showed that the samples were generally light and slightly yellowish (41.12– 60.41 and 10.84–17.32 respectively), with P. pulmonarius showing a significantly whiter colour for both treatments. Thus, pickling and drying of mushrooms could serve as preservative means for extending their shelf life, and the resulting product could serve as a substitute for meat in soups and stews.
A Novel Ibuprofen Derivative and Its Complexes: Physicochemical Characterization, DFT Modeling, Docking, In Vitro Anti-Inflammatory Studies, and DNA Interaction

A novel derivative of ibuprofen and salicylaldehyde N′-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-(4-isobutylphenyl) propane hydrazide (HL) was synthesized, followed by its complexation with Cu, Ni, Co, Gd, and Sm. The compounds obtained were characterized by 1HNMR, mass spectrometry, UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis (DTA and TGA), conductivity measurements, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The results indicate that the complexes formed were [Cu(L)(H2O)]Cl·2H2O, [Ni(L)2], [Co(L)2]·H2O, [Gd(L)2(H2O)2](NO3)·2H2O and [Sm(L)2(H2O)2](NO3)·2H2O. The surface characteristics of the produced compounds were evaluated by DFT calculations using the MOE environment. The docking was performed against the COX2 targeting protein (PDB code: 5IKT Homo sapiens). The binding energies were −7.52, −9.41, −9.51, −8.09, −10.04, and −8.05 kcal/mol for HL and the Co, Ni, Cu, Sm, and Gd complexes, respectively, which suggests the enhancement of anti-inflammatory behaviors compared with the binding energy of ibuprofen (−5.38 kcal/mol). The anti-inflammatory properties of the new compounds were assessed in vitro using the western blot analysis method and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), consistent with the outcomes obtained from docking. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values are 4.9, 1.7, 3.7, 5.6, 2.9, and 2.3 µM for HL and the Co, Ni, Cu, Sm, and Gd complexes, respectively, showing that they are more effective inhibitors of COX2 than ibuprofen (IC50 = 31.4 µM). The brain or intestinal estimated permeation method (BOILED-Egg) showed that HL and its Co complex have high gastrointestinal absorption, while only the free ligand has high brain penetration. The binding constants of Co, Cu, and Gd complexes with DNA were recorded as 2.20 × 104, 2.27 × 106, and 4.46 × 103 M−1, respectively, indicating the intercalator behavior of interaction. The newly synthesized ibuprofen derivative and its metal complexes showed greater anti-inflammatory activity than ibuprofen.
The relationship between platelet distribution width and disease activity in patients with polymyositis

Introduction Muscle enzymes are an indicator of ongoing muscle damage and disease activity in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. Although platelet-related parameters have been shown to be useful as markers of disease activity in autoimmune diseases, the relationship between platelet distribution width (PDW) and disease activity has not been previously studied in polymyositis. We aimed to determine the relationship between PDW and disease activity in patients with polymyositis. Material and methods Twenty-seven patients with polymyositis and thirty healthy controls were included in the study. Disease activity was evaluated using the myositis disease activity assessment Visual Analogue Scale (MYOACT) and the Myositis Intention to Treat Index (MITAX). The relationship between PDW and disease activity was evaluated using Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlation and reliability was assessed using correlation coefficients. Results The mean platelet volume (MPV) and plateletcrit (PCT) were significantly higher and PDW was significantly lower in patients with polymyositis compared to the control group. The mean PDW levels were lower in patients with constitutional symptoms and arthralgia/arthritis (p < 0.005). Although PDW levels were lower in patients with mechanical hand, lung involvement, or dysphagia compared to patients without, there was no statistically significant difference between them. Platelet distribution width was found to be negatively correlated with disease activity. Conclusions We found that PDW was negatively correlated with MYOACT and MITAX, widely used tools in assessing the disease activity of polymyositis. Based on this, PDW may be utilized as a non-invasive potential index to assess disease activity in patients with polymyositis.
Sharp Sobolev trace inequalities for higher order derivatives

Motivated by a recent work of Ache and Chang concerning the sharp Sobolev trace inequality and Lebedev-Milin inequalities of order four on the Euclidean unit ball, we derive such inequalities on the Euclidean unit ball for higher order derivatives. By using, among other things, the scattering theory on hyperbolic spaces and the generalized Poisson kernel, we obtain the explicit formulas of extremal functions of such inequations. Moreover, we also derive the sharp trace Sobolev inequalities on half spaces for higher order derivatives. Finally, we compute the explicit formulas of adapted metric, introduced by Case and Chang, on the Euclidean unit ball, which is of independent interest.
The limit distribution in the q-CLT for q ≥ 1 is unique and can not have a compact support

In a paper by Umarov et al (2008 Milan J. Math. 76 307–28), a generalization of the Fourier transform, called the q-Fourier transform, was introduced and applied for the proof of a q-generalized central limit theorem (q-CLT). Subsequently, Hilhorst illustrated (2009 Braz. J. Phys. 39 371–9; 2010 J. Stat. Mech. P10023) that the q-Fourier transform for q > 1 , is not invertible in the space of density functions. Indeed, using an invariance principle, he constructed a family of densities with the same q-Fourier transform and noted that ‘as a consequence, the q-CLT falls short of achieving its stated goal’. The distributions constructed there have compact support. We prove now that the limit distribution in the q-CLT is unique and can not have a compact support. This result excludes all the possible counterexamples which can be constructed using the invariance principle and fills the gap mentioned by Hilhorst.
