On the structure and evolution of planets and their host stars – effects of various heating mechanisms on the size of giant gas planets

It is already stated in the previous studies that the radius of the giant planets is affected by stellar irradiation. The confirmed relation between radius and incident flux depends on planetary mass intervals. In this study, we show that there is a single relation between radius and irradiated energy per gram per second ($l_-$), for all mass intervals. There is an extra increase in radius of planets if $l_-$ is higher than 1100 times energy received by the Earth ($l_\oplus$). This is likely due to dissociation of molecules. The tidal interaction as a heating mechanism is also considered and found that its maximum effect on the inflation of planets is about 15 per cent. We also compute age and heavy element abundances from the properties of host stars, given in the TEPCat catalogue (Southworth 2011). The metallicity given in the literature is as [Fe/H]. However, the most abundant element is oxygen, and there is a reverse relation between the observed abundances [Fe/H] and [O/Fe]. Therefore, we first compute [O/H] from [Fe/H] by using observed abundances, and then find heavy element abundance from [O/H]. We also develop a new method for age determination. Using the ages we find, we analyse variation of both radius and mass of the planets with respect to time, and estimate the initial mass of the planets from the relation we derive for the first time. According to our results, the highly irradiated gas giants lose 5 per cent of their mass in every 1 Gyr.
An optimal aggregation method for fuzzy opinions of group decision

A method is proposed for aggregating individual fuzzy opinions into an optimal group consensus. By optimality, we mean the relative similarity between consensus and each individual opinion equals its aggregation weight. First, a similarity measure for trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is proposed. Then, we propose an iterative procedure for approximating the optimal consensus of expert opinions. Finally, the importance of each expert is taken into consideration in the process of aggregation.
Motorische Leistungsfaehigkeit im Alter

Der vorliegende Beitrag versucht, aufgrund von physiologischen, psychologischen und sportwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen Aussagen ueber die motorische Leistungsfaehigkeit im Kontext der Verkehrsteilnahme zu machen. Unter Motorik versteht man die Gesamtheit aller Steuerungs- und Funktionsprozesse, die fuer die Koerperhaltung und die Koerperbewegung notwendig sind. Es sind vor allem Veraenderungen der Gelenke und der Skelettmuskulatur, die zu Einschraenkungen der motorischen Leistungsfaehigkeit fuehren. Fuer den Verlust von Muskelfasern sind auch die degenerativen Veraenderungen im zentralen und peripheren Nervensystem verantwortlich. Im Einzelnen werden Veraenderungen im Alter von folgenden motorischen Faehigkeiten behandelt: Reaktionszeit, Kraft und Bewegung, Geschwindigkeits-Genauigkeitsabgleich, Bewegungskoordination, Ausdauer und Beweglichkeit. Der altersbedingte Rueckgang motorischer Leistungsfaehigkeit bedeutet meist auch die Einschraenkung der koerperlichen Mobilitaet. Die koerperliche Mobilitaet ist aber eine wichtige Voraussetzung fuer viele Arten der Verkehrsteilnahme. Die Bewegungen aelterer Menschen werden weniger kraftvoll, langsamer und ungenauer. Die Beweglichkeit der Wirbelsaeule und der Gelenke ist eingeschraenkt. Der Verlust an Muskelkraft kann ueber weite Bereiche mit Hilfe von Bremskraftverstaerkern, Servolenkung und Automatikgetriebe kompensiert werden. Einschraenkungen in der Beweglichkeit der Halswirbelsaeule koennen zu massiven Beschraenkungen in Wahrnehmung und Orientierung fuehren. Sicherheitssysteme koennen in kritischen Verkehrssituationen hilfreich sein, um altersbedingte Einschraenkungen in der Kraftregulation und Koordination zu kompensieren. Fahrten sollten gut vorbereitet werden. Auch oeffentliche Verkehrsmittel stellen Anforderungen an das motorische System. Das Fahrrad entlastet die Fuss-, Knie- und Hueftgelenke. Das Ausmass, in dem Gehen und Fahrradfahren fuer die Mobilitaet genutzt werden koennen, haengt besonders von der Kraft, Ausdauer und Koordinationsfaehigkeit ab. Auch noch im hoeheren Lebensalter ist durch regelmaessiges Training eine Verbesserung der motorischen Leistungsfaehigkeit moeglich. Zur Gesamtaufnahme siehe ITRD D361701. (KfV/A)
Quantum state reconstruction of spectral field modes: Homodyne and resonator detection schemes

We revisit the problem of quantum state reconstruction of light beams from the photocurrent quantum noise. As is well-known, but often overlooked, two longitudinal field modes contribute to each spectral component of the photocurrent (sideband modes). We show that spectral homodyne detection is intrinsically incapable of providing all the information needed for the full reconstruction of the two-mode spectral quantum state. Such a limitation is overcome by the technique of resonator detection. A detailed theoretical description and comparison of both methods is presented, as well as an experiment to measure the six-mode quantum state of pump-signal-idler beams of an optical parametric oscillator above the oscillation threshold.
Light-cone Distribution Amplitudes of the Nucleon and Negative Parity Nucleon Resonances from Lattice QCD

We present the results of a lattice study of light-cone distribution amplitudes (DAs) of the nucleon and negative parity nucleon resonances using two flavors of dynamical (clover) fermions on lattices of different volumes and pion masses down to m_pi = 150 MeV. We find that the three valence quarks in the proton share their momentum in the proportion 37% : 31% : 31%, where the larger fraction corresponds to the u-quark that carries proton helicity, and determine the value of the wave function at the origin in position space, which turns out to be small compared to the existing estimates based on QCD sum rules. Higher-order moments are constrained by our data and are all compatible with zero within our uncertainties. We also calculate the normalization constants of the higher-twist DAs that are related to the distribution of quark angular momentum. Furthermore, we use the variational method and customized parity projection operators to study the states with negative parity. In this way we are able to separate the contributions of the two lowest states that, as we argue, possibly correspond to N*(1535) and a mixture of N*(1650) and the pion-nucleon continuum, respectively. It turns out that the state that we identify with N*(1535) has a very different DA as compared to both the second observed negative parity state and the nucleon, which may explain the difference in the decay patterns of N*(1535) and N*(1650) observed in experiment.
LONG-TERM MONITORING OF THE BLACK HOLE CANDIDATE SWIFT J1753.5–0127 WITH INTEGRAL/SPI

The black hole candidate (BHC) Swift J1753.5–0127 went into outburst in 2005 June. Rather than fade into quiescence as most BHC transients do, it has remained in a low hard spectral state for most of the ∼9 years after its outburst. Its persistent emission during the hard state is reminiscent of the black hole Cyg X-1 and the BHCs 1E 1740.7–2942 and GRS 1758–258. Thus far, hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray results have mainly focused on the 2005 flare, with a few additional observations during 2007. Here, we present results from INTEGRAL/SPI observations from 2005–2010 spanning the 22–650 keV energy range. Spectral analysis shows a weak high-energy excess ( ∼ 2.9 &sgr; ? > ) above a cutoff power-law model that is well fit by a power law, suggesting an additional spectral component. Observations of Cyg X-1, 1E 1740.7–2942, and GRS 1758–258 have shown similar spectra requiring an additional high-energy component. The SPI results are compared to previously reported results for Swift J1753.5–0127 as well as observations of other sources.
Density functional theory studies of cluster states in nuclei

The framework of nuclear energy density functionals is applied to a study of the formation and evolution of cluster states in nuclei. The relativistic functional DD-ME2 is used in triaxial and reflection-asymmetric relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov calculations of relatively light $N=Z$ and neutron-rich nuclei. The role of deformation and degeneracy of single-nucleon states in the formation of clusters is analyzed, and interesting cluster structures are predicted in excited configurations of Be, C, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, and Ca $N=Z$ nuclei. Cluster phenomena in neutron-rich nuclei are discussed, and it is shown that in neutron-rich Be and C nuclei cluster states occur that are characterized by molecular bonding of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ particles by the excess neutrons.
Physicochemical Characteristics and Flavor-Related Compounds of Fresh and Frozen-Thawed Thigh Meats from Chickens

The physicochemical characteristics and flavor-related compounds of thigh meat derived from diverse Korean native chickens (KNC), namely Hanhyup No. 3 (HH3), Woorimatdag No 1 (WRMD 1), and Woorimatdag No 2 (WRMD 2), under fresh and frozen-thawed conditions were studied and compared with those of commercial broilers (CB). Regardless of the breed, KNC showed a higher (p < 0.05) percentage of linoleic and arachidonic acid. The highest proportion of docosahexaenoic acid was observed in WRMD 2. Despite having a higher collagen content, thigh meat derived from KNC maintained a similar texture profile in comparison to that of CB. The concentrations of most free amino acids (FAA), except for taurine, tryptophan, and carnosine, were higher in frozen-thawed meat than in fresh meat. Regarding volatile organic compounds (VOC), following freezing, the concentration of favorable VOCs increased in CB, but decreased in WRMD 1, suggesting a loss of pleasant flavor in frozen-thawed meat. This study indicated that changes in VOCs, including hydrocarbons (d-limonene, heptadecane, hexadecane, naphthalene, pentadecane, 3-methyl-, tridecane), esters (arsenous acid, tris(trimethylsilyl) ester, decanoic acid, ethyl ester, hexadecanoic acid, ethyl ester), alcohol (1-hexanol, 2-ethyl-), ketones (5,9-undecadien-2-one, 6,10-dimethyl-), and aldehydes (pentadecanal-, tetradecanal, tridecanal), may be a promising marker for distinguishing between fresh and frozen-thawed chicken thigh meat. These findings are of critical importance as preliminary data for developing high-quality chicken meat products.
Multidimensional Compressible Framework for Modeling Biglobal Stability in Rocket Motors

Rocket motor stability analysis has historically been focused on two fundamental theories: the acoustic and the hydrodynamic. While the acoustic part examines the system at resonant states, the hydrodynamic component focuses on the fluid-wall interactions and the vortex shedding mechanisms which are responsible for exciting the system. Traditionally, the two concepts are studied independently and their results are then superposed for a more complete solution. In this study, we analyze the problem from a hydrodynamic standpoint and extend it to include compressibility. This is realized by reducing the linearized Navier-Stokes and energy equations to their biglobal form assuming a two-dimensional waveform with a sinusoidal temporal dependence. The suggested approach is found to be comprehensive, capturing both hydrodynamic and acoustic fields simultaneously. Doing so unifies the two phenomena commonly associated with combustion instability while accounting for interactions between resonant and non-resonant eigenmodes. In this work, results are compared and validated using analytical solutions of the vortico-acoustic waves, which incorporate a viscous correction at the wall. Regarding the hydrodynamic component, comparisons to numerical results verify the captured modes. Combined, they present an improved agreement with experimental data for the cold air injection setup. By retaining the influence of the mean flow on the unsteady motion, the technique straightforwardly displays a slight frequency shift from the Helmholtz type acoustic modes, thus confirming the behavior observed in numerous experiments. Moreover, the modal analysis extends over both the longitudinal and transverse
NEW PARALLAXES AND A CONVERGENCE ANALYSIS FOR THE TW Hya ASSOCIATION

The TW Hya Association (TWA) is a nearby stellar association with an age of ∼5–10 Myr. This is an important age for studying the late stages of star and planet formation. We measure the parallaxes of 14 candidate members of TWA. That brings to 38 the total number of individual stars with fully measured kinematics, i.e., proper motion, radial velocity, and parallax, to describe their motions through the Galaxy. We analyze these kinematics to search for convergence to a smaller volume in the past, but we find that the association is never much more compact than it is at present. We show that it is difficult to measure traceback ages for associations such as TWA that have expected velocity dispersions of 1–2 km s−1 with typical measurement uncertainties. We also use our stellar distances and pre-main-sequence evolutionary tracks to find the average age of the association of 7.9 ± 1.0 Myr. Additionally, our parallax measurement of TWA 32 indicates that it should be considered a bona fide member of TWA. Two new candidate members have high membership probabilities, and we assign them TWA numbers: TWA 45 for 2MASS J11592786–4510192 and TWA 46 for 2MASS J12354615–4115531.
Study of Dengue Virus Transovarial Transmission in Aedes spp. in Ternate City Using Streptavidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex Immunohistochemistry

Aedes aegypti is the most dominant vector in the transmission of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). In addition to Ae. aegypti, Ae. albopictus is a secondary vector of the dengue virus, and both species are widespread in Indonesia. The dengue virus is transmitted from person to person through the bite of an Aedes spp. The vertical (transovarial) transmission of the dengue virus from infective female mosquitoes to their offspring is one of the means by which the dengue virus maintains its existence in nature. Transovarial dengue virus transmission in Aedes spp. mosquitoes contributes to the spread and maintenance of the dengue epidemic. This study employed a qualitative survey to detect dengue virus transovarial transmission in Ternate using the streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ISBPC) immunohistochemical test. The ISBPC examination of samples collected from the four subdistricts in Ternate revealed a positive result for transovarial transmission of dengue virus. Four Aedes spp. , including two Ae. aegypti females, one Ae. albopictus female, and one Ae. albopictus male, tested positive for transovarial transmission of dengue virus in the district of North Ternate. Four Aedes spp. , including three Ae. aegypti females and one Ae. aegypti male, were found to be positive for the transovarial transmission of dengue virus in the Central Ternate district. Seven Aedes spp. , including five Ae. aegypti females, one Ae. aegypti male, and one Ae. albopictus female, tested positive for transovarial transmission of the dengue virus in the district of South Ternate city. One Ae. aegypti male showed positive results for transovarial transmission of dengue virus in the Ternate Island District. In this study, the transovarial transmission of the dengue virus occurred in both Aedes spp. female and male mosquitoes. It was demonstrated that Aedes spp. carry the dengue virus in their ovaries and can pass it on to their offspring. As a result, the cycle of passing the dengue virus on to local mosquito populations in the city of Ternate is not going to end just yet.
Research on Factors Affecting SMEs' Credit Risk Based on Blockchain-Driven Supply Chain Finance

The development of blockchain-driven supply chain finance aimed to solve the financing problems of SMEs. However, credit risk is expanded, and even transmitted to the whole supply chain, due to their connection, so that it becomes more difficult to effectively identify the credit risk of SMEs. The purpose of this paper was to examine the factors affecting SMEs’ credit risk in the mode of block-chain-driven supply chain finance. This research proposed an entropy weight method to construct independent variables and used logistic regression to examine whether the financing enterprises, core enterprises, assets position under financing, blockchain platform, and supply chain operation have significant impacts on credit risk. The panel data, originating from CSMAR on fifty-six quoted SMEs, included eight core enterprises and twenty-six blockchain enterprises, between 2016 and 2020. The results showed that the financing enterprises, core enterprises, asset position under fi-nance, blockchain platform, and supply chain operation have significant impacts on SMEs’ credit risk when the confidence level is 90%. The financial status of financing enterprises can reflect the credit status of SMEs. Core enterprises give credit guarantees to SMEs, and the business transactions between SMEs and core enterprises affect the credit risk through the asset position under financing. Meanwhile, blockchain platforms can solve the problem of the information asymmetry of the par-ticipating enterprises in supply chain operations. At the same time, the supply chain operation is also an important factor affecting the credit risk. This conclusion provides a reference for the ap-plication of blockchains in supply chains, to reduce the credit risk. At the same time, the selected indicators were more comprehensive, which provided a strong basis for the subsequent construc-tion of a credit risk assessment model using key factors.
Black Hole Disk Accretion in Supernovae

Massive stars in a certain mass range may form low-mass black holes after supernova explosions. In such massive stars, fallback of ~0.1 M☉ materials onto a black hole is expected because of a deep gravitational potential or a reverse shock propagating back from the outer composition interface. We study hydrodynamical disk accretion onto a newborn low-mass black hole in a supernova using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method. If the progenitor was rotating before the explosion, the fallback material should have a certain amount of angular momentum with respect to the black hole, thus forming an accretion disk. The disk material will eventually accrete toward the central object because of viscosity at a supercritical accretion rate, Ṁ/Ṁcrit > 106, for the first several tens of days. (Here, Ṁcrit is the Eddington luminosity divided by c2.) We then expect that such an accretion disk is optically thick and advection dominated; that is, the disk is so hot that the produced energy and photons are advected inward rather than being radiated away. Thus, the disk luminosity is much less than the Eddington luminosity. The disk becomes hot and dense; for Ṁ/Ṁcrit ~106, for example, T ~ 109(αvis/0.01)-1/4 K and ρ ~ 103(αvis/0.01)-1 g cm-3 (with αvis being the viscosity parameter) in the vicinity of the black hole. Depending on the material mixing, some interesting nucleosynthesis processes via rapid proton and alpha-particle captures are expected even for reasonable viscosity magnitudes (αvis ~ 0.01), and some of them could be ejected in a disk wind or a jet without being swallowed by the black hole.
Internal Mammary Arteries as a Model to Demonstrate Restoration of the Impaired Vasodilation in Hypertension, Using Liposomal Delivery of the CYP1B1 Inhibitor, 2,3′,4,5′-Tetramethoxystilbene

A significant number of patients with severe cardiovascular disease, undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), present with hypertension. While internal mammary arteries (IMAs) may be a better alternative to vein grafts, their impaired vasodilator function affects their patency. Our objectives were to (1) determine if inhibition of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP1B1, using liposome-encapsulated 2,3′,4,5′-tetramethoxystilbene (TMS), can potentiate vasodilation of IMAs from CABG patients, and (2) assess mechanisms involved using coronary arteries from normal rats, in an ex vivo model of hypertension. PEGylated liposomes were synthesized and loaded with TMS (mean diameter 141 ± 0.9 nm). Liposomal delivery of TMS improved its bioavailability Compared to TMS solution (0.129 ± 0.02 ng/mL vs. 0.086 ± 0.01 ng/mL at 4 h; p < 0.05). TMS-loaded liposomes alleviated attenuated endothelial-dependent acetylcholine (ACh)-induced dilation in diseased IMAs (@ACh 10−4 M: 56.9 ± 5.1%; n = 8 vs. 12.7 ± 7.8%; n = 6; p < 0.01) for TMS-loaded liposomes vs. blank liposomes, respectively. The alleviation in dilation may be due to the potent inhibition of CYP1B1 by TMS, and subsequent reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) moieties and stimulation of nitric oxide synthesis. In isolated rat coronary arteries exposed to a hypertensive environment, TMS-loaded liposomes potentiated nitric oxide and endothelium-derived hyperpolarization pathways via AMPK. Our findings are promising for the future development of TMS-loaded liposomes as a promising therapeutic strategy to enhance TMS bioavailability and potentiate vasodilator function in hypertension, with relevance for early and long-term treatment of CABG patients, via the sustained and localized TMS release within IMAs.
Correlation of adiponectin levels with disease activity score in rheumatoid arthritis patients

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common chronic inflammatory joint disease of unknown etiology that primarily affects the joints and is marked by symmetric, peripheral poly arthritis. To estimation of adiponectin can be useful for early diagnosis and progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and Methods: Total 90 subjects included in the present study were 60 patients were diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and 30 age, gender and BMI matched healthy subjects were included as controls. biochemical, disease activity score and serum adiponectin levels were measured from all the subjects. Relevant statistical analysis was done by using SPSS and Microsoft Excel Spread Sheets. Results: Fasting blood sugars, post parandial blood sugars and triglycerides when compared to controls (P=0.0001**). Serum adiponectin concentration was found to be significantly increased in RA patients compared to healthy controls (p<0.0001). There was a significantly positive correlation between serum adiponectin and disease activity score. Conclusion: This study concludes significantly elevated levels of serum adiponectin might be used for early diagnosis and progression of rheumatoid arthritis.
Pain Education in the Management of Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review

New prospective of chronic low back pain (CLBP) management based on the biopsychosocial model suggests the use of pain education, or neurophysiological pain education, to modify erroneous conceptions of disease and pain, often influenced by fear, anxiety and negative attitudes. The aim of the study is to highlight the evidence on the outcomes of a pain education-oriented approach for the management of CLBP. The search was conducted on the Pubmed, Scopus, Pedro and Cochrane Library databases, leading to 2673 results until September 2021. In total, 13 articles published in the last 10 years were selected as eligible. A total of 6 out of 13 studies support a significant reduction in symptoms in the medium term. Disability is investigated in only 11 of the selected studies, but 7 studies support a clear reduction in the medium-term disability index. It is difficult to assess the effectiveness of the treatments of pain education in patients affected by CLBP, due to the multimodality and heterogeneity of the treatments administered to the experimental group. In general, methods based on pain education or on cognitive-behavioral approaches, in association with physical therapy, appear to be superior to physiotherapeutic interventions alone in the medium term.
