Words were counted for each part of speech for these words, and word token frequency was reported. Problems related to morphological analysis of sentences in Japanese language textbooks are discussed.
The vibrational signatures of polyaromatic hydrocarbons on an ice surface

Abstract We use quantum chemical techniques to model the vibrational spectra of small aromatic molecules on a proton-ordered hexagonal crystalline water ice (XIh) model. We achieve a good agreement with experimental data by accounting for vibrational anharmonicity and correcting the potential energy landscape for known failures of density functional theory. A standard harmonic description of the vibrational spectra only leads to a broad qualitative agreement.
Dynamical properties of Molecular Cloud Complexes at the Epoch of Reionization

Abstract The Atacama Large (Sub-)millimeter Array (ALMA) has provided glimpse of the interstellar medium (ISM) properties of galaxies at the Epoch of Reionization (EoR); however, detailed understanding of their internal structure is still lacking. We present properties of molecular cloud complexes (MCCs) in a prototypical galaxy at this epoch studied in cosmological zoom-in simulations (Leung et al. 2019c). Typical MCC mass and size are comparable to nearby spirals and starburst galaxies (Mgas∼106.5Mȯ and R≃45–100 pc). MCCs are highly supersonic, with velocity dispersion of σgas≃20–100 km s−1 and pressure of P/kB ≃107.6Kcm−3, which are comparable to gas-rich starburst galaxies. In addition, we perform stability analysis to understand the origin and dynamical properties of MCCs. We find that MCCs are globally stable in the main disk of Althæa. Densest regions where star formation is expected to take place in clumps and cores on even smaller scales instead have lower virial parameter and Toomre-Q values. Detailed studies of the star-forming gas dynamics at the EoR thus require a spatial resolution of < 40 pc ( ≃ 0.01″), which is within reach of ALMA, to complement studies of stellar populations at EoR using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
International

Within a short 31-year history in which our country gained its independence, it went through centuries-old historical processes based on the principle of "from National Restoration to national rise", achieving tremendous results in all spheres of public life. The correctness of our chosen path is also recognized by the world community. "Even countries that consider themselves leaders of development are proof of this that economic growth rates in our country have reached 8.1% at a time when the world economy has recently been a bit in a hurry during the crisis that has occurred. " At this point, it should be noted that, like all spheres of public life, a new attitude towards the media has arisen, and freedom of the press and speech has become an invaluable blessing. In general, independence provided a wide opportunity for free thinking, for everyone to openly express their opinion, and gave rise to new opportunities in ensuring the stability of free thinking. This is reflected in the growing number of media types and numbers today. The press and other media began to give a wide place in newspapers and magazines, broadcasting and TV shows directly to topics of socio-economic, political, spiritual and educational, international importance in the free spirit. Indeed, during the years of independence, a new system of media has been formed in our country, the legal framework created on the basis of world best practices in this regard acts and serves as a solid foundation. The media should act not only as a disseminator of information but also as an enlightened, educator and consultant who correctly analyzes information, and objectively criticizes problems and shortcomings. The media occupy an important place in the political process of any country. The role of mass media in the society of the Republic of Uzbekistan is described in the article. Also, the goals and tasks of mass media are covered in as much detail as possible.
Gas-dust chemistry of volatiles in the star and planetary system formation

Abstract The focus of this work is on two topics: (i) formation of complex organic molecules (COMs) and (ii) isotope fractionation. Various COMs, which are C, H-containing molecules consisting of 6 atoms and more, have been detected in the central warm region of protostellar cores. Most of this review is about gas-grain chemical models, which have been constructed to evaluate the mechanisms and efficiency of the COM formation. The relevant physical and chemical processes are investigated in laboratory experiments, as reported in other articles in this volume. The isotope fractionation of volatile elements is observed in both the interstellar medium (ISM) and Solar system material. While exothermic exchange reactions enrich molecules with heavier isotopes such as Deuterium, the isotope selective photodissociation can be coupled with ice formation to enrich the ice mantle with rare isotopes. The efficiency of this fractionation depends on the photodesorption yields, which has been studied in laboratory experiments.

Didatic Overcurrent Protection Coordination for the IEEE 34-Node Radial Test Feeder

The IEEE Test Feeders are used in general for power flow testing methods. However the studies of it can be extended to other applications, as power system protection. This paper proposes an overcurrent protection (OCP) coordination for IEEE 34-Node Radial Test Feeder, based on the protection philosophies commonly used in Brazil, by a practical and didactic methodology. The OCP coordination proposed consist in two reclosers (R), one at substation and other at the middle of the main trunk, and fuses at the laterals. The recloser-recloser, recloser-fuse and fuse-fuse coordinations are presented and discussed. The methodology and the OCP devices used may be extended to others IEEE or real feeders. Moreover, this OCP scheme may be used as a start point to evaluate the impacts of high penetration of distributed energy resources on this feeder.
Ultra-processed food consumption in Barbados: evidence from a nationally representative, cross-sectional study

Abstract Our objective was to describe, for the first time in an English-speaking Caribbean country, the contribution of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) to nutrients linked to non-communicable disease. Using a cross-sectional study design, dietary data were collected from two non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls. Recorded food items were then classified according to their degree of processing by the NOVA system. The present study took place in Barbados (2012–13). A representative population-based sample of 364 adult Barbadians (161 males and 203 females) aged 25–64 years participated in the study. UPFs represented 40⋅5 % (838 kcal/d; 95 % CI 791, 885) of mean energy intake. Sugar-sweetened beverages made the largest contribution to energy within the UPF category. Younger persons (25–44 years) consumed a significantly higher proportion of calories from UPF (NOVA group 4) compared with older persons (45–64 years). The mean energy shares of UPF ranged from 22⋅0 to 58⋅9 % for those in the lowest tertile to highest tertile. Within each tertile, the energy contribution was significantly higher in the younger age group (25–44 years) compared with the older (45–64 years). One-quarter of persons consume ≥50 % of their daily calories from UPF, this being significantly higher in younger persons. The ultra-processed diet fraction contained about six times the mean of free sugars and about 0⋅8 times the dietary fibre of the non-ultra-processed fraction (NOVA groups 1–3). Targeted interventions to decrease the consumption of UPF especially in younger persons is thus of high priority to improve the diet quality of Barbadians.
AGB stars in binaries and the common envelope interaction

Abstract One may argue that, today, proceedings articles are not useful. Results belong in refereed papers and even reviews are best in publications that are long enough to do justice to the topic reviewed. In this short review, reflecting a presentation that was given at the IAU343 symposium, Why Galaxies Care about AGB Stars, I have therefore endeavoured to include some practical snippets that, while remaining true to the presentation, also provide a quick look up reference. After a reminder of how few AGB stars actually interact with a companion, and a pictorial summary of the types of interactions that can happen, I list the rapidly growing body of 3D common envelope simulations. Next, I highlight shortfalls and successes of simulations, and then spend some time comparing the two simulations of planetary nebulae from common envelope interactions to date. Finally, I summarise a handful of results pertaining to common envelope interactions between giants and planets.
Investigation of rotational state-changing collisions of C2N− ions with helium

Abstract The cross sections for rotational inelastic collisions between atoms and a molecular anion can be very large, if the anion has a dipole moment. This makes molecular anions very efficient in cooling atomic gases. We address rotational inelastic collisions of Helium atoms with the molecular anion C2N–. Here we present preliminary calculations of the potential energy surface.
Ecotones and forest communities along an elevation gradient in Hyrcanian forests, north of Iran

A comprehensive understanding of plant associations, especially in transition areas can be achieved by identification of vegetation and study of relationships between plant species and environment. Borders of ecotones and forest communities (Tiremrud basin in the southern part of Tonekabon, Iran) were found based on environmental factors such as elevation, slope and changes in floristic patterns. Totally, 44 plots (20 × 20 m) were collected by the transect method with at least one sample plot per contour line and 50 m interval. A total number of tree species was recorded separately in each sample plot. Herbaceous species were sampled based on the Brown-Blanket cover percentage and frequency of vegetative elements by 5 × 2 m2 micro plots in four corners and centre of each main plot. Four ecological groups were identified on altitudes 2070, 1236, 924, and 375 m above sea level with mean slopes of 43, 50, 40, and 59%, respectively. The first and fourth ecological groups were at the highest and the lowest elevations, respectively, while the second and third ones in the middle of the two groups. A comparison of ecological groups in terms of plant biodiversity indicated significant differences altogether. In terms of species diversity indices, Shannon-Wiener and Simpson-Pilo ​​revealed that the first, fourth, and second ecological groups had maximum, minimum, and average values, respectively. According to findings of this study, ecological groups had significant differences in terms of altitude factor.
The Particle Filter and Extended Kalman Filter methods for the structural system identification considering various uncertainties

Structural system identification using recursive methods has been a research direction of increasing interest in recent decades. The two prominent methods, including the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and the Particle Filter (PF), also known as the Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), are advantageous in this field. In this study, the system identification of a shake table test of a 4-story steel structure subjected to the base excitation has been implemented using these methods by considering the modeling and material model uncertainties. Implementing the 2D and 3D modelings, using the “parallelogram” and “scissors” methods for the modeling of panel zones and that of the wall panels by two methods (using beam-column elements and equivalent diagonal strut elements), are the assumptions of this study. Using the parallelogram method has resulted in fewer errors in the 2D modeling while implementing different methods for simulation of wall panels has had no specific achievements. As illustrated in the results, more significant uncertainties were expected in systems with highly nonlinear behavior, since the equivalent linearization was used to estimate the system states in the EKF method. However, this method is less time-consuming and gives more accurate results in comparison with the PF method, in which a lrge number of samples are required for the system identification.
DEIMOS and MOSFIRE spectroscopy of star-forming galaxies in the AKARI NEP-Deep field

Abstract Observing high resolution optical to infrared spectra is crucial to understanding how energy is generated in galaxies. We present follow-up optical Keck-II/DEIMOS and infrared Keck-I/MOSFIRE spectra of ∼200 galaxies in the AKARI/North Ecliptic Pole Deep survey region at intermediate redshift. From rest-frame optical emission lines, we classify most of our objects as star-forming (53%), with the MIR selection favoring relatively massive galaxies (median log M/M⊙∼ 10.3). In addition, we combine our spectroscopic redshifts with UV to FIR photometry as inputs in order to model SEDs with CIGALE, and we measure the PAH 7.7 μm luminosity as an SFR indicator.
High-resolution radiation transfer modelling of barred galaxies

Abstract Dust radiative transfer simulations provide us with the unique opportunity to study the heating mechanisms of dust by the stellar radiation field. From 2D observational images we derive the 3D distributions of stars and dust. Our aim is to analyze the contribution of the different stellar populations to the radiative dust heating processes in the nearby face-on barred galaxies NGC 1365, M 83 and M 95. We wish to decompose the FIR-submm SED and quantify the fraction directly related to star formation. To model the complex geometries mentioned above, we used SKIRT, a state-of-the-art, 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer code designed to simulate the absorption, scattering and thermal re-emission of dust in a variety of environments. We find that the contribution of the evolved stars (8 Gyr) to the dust heating is non-negligible (∼35%) and can reach as high as 70%. We also find a tight correlation between the heating fraction by the unevolved stars (⩽ 100 Myr) and the specific star formation rate.
Conflict, Population Movement, and Microscale Social Networks in Northern Iroquoian Archaeology

We employ social network analysis of collar decoration on Iroquoian vessels to conduct a multiscalar analysis of signaling practices among ancestral Huron-Wendat communities on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Our analysis focuses on the microscale of the West Duffins Creek community relocation sequence as well as the mesoscale, incorporating several populations to the west. The data demonstrate that network ties were stronger among populations in adjacent drainages as opposed to within drainage-specific sequences, providing evidence for west-to-east population movement, especially as conflict between Wendat and Haudenosaunee populations escalated in the sixteenth century. These results suggest that although coalescence may have initially involved the incorporation of peoples from microscale (local) networks, populations originating among wider mesoscale (subregional) networks contributed to later coalescent communities. These findings challenge previous models of village relocation and settlement aggregation that oversimplified these processes.
Systematic investigation of asphaltene precipitation by experimental and reliable deterministic tools

Asphaltene precipitation in oil operations contributes to serious technical and non-technical issues, which is affected by reservoir conditions such as pressure, temperature, dilution ratio, and type of diluent. In this work, a mathematical correlation is introduced to forecast the weight percent (wt%, g/g) of precipitated asphaltene in light oils. Experimental data are obtained based on high-resolution images taken from high-pressure cell processed by the image analysis method. Employing experimental data, a simple and precise correlation on the basis of the scaling/fractal theory is developed. In this study, the amount of asphaltene precipitation is considered in terms of pressure and dilution ratio in which the coefficients are simply calculated through the Vandermone matrix. Comparison between the model results and real data reveals a good match where the average coefficient of correlation (R2) is above 0.95. Additionally, two previous predictive methods, namely the Bayesian belief network and scaling models, are utilized and the outputs are compared (e.g. the magnitudes of mean squared error (MSE) are 0.0065 and 0.038 for C6 and C7, respectively), implying the effectiveness of the new deterministic tool in terms of accuracy and reliability such that the average MSE is 0.006 for both C6 and C7. The trustworthiness of the real asphaltene precipitation data is also assessed by the statistical leverage approach based on the hat matrix, standardized residuals, and William plot to specify the applicability domain (AD) of the predictive models. It was found that all deterministic techniques presented in this study result in satisfactory accuracy, since the entire collected experimental data are reliable within AD.
Feedback from supermassive and intermediate-mass black holes at galaxy centers using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations

Abstract Accretion of matter onto central Black Holes (BHs) in galaxies liberates enormous amounts of feedback energy, which affects the environment from pc to Mpc scales. These BHs are usually Supermassive BHs (SMBHs: mass ⩾106 M⊙) existing at the centers of active galactic nuclei (AGN), which are widely observed through their multi-wavelength emission at all cosmic epochs. Relatively recently, Intermediate-Mass BHs (IMBHs: mass = 100−106 M⊙) have started to be observed hosted in Dwarf Galaxy (DG) centers. Some of the central IMBHs in DGs show signatures of activity in the form of low-luminosity AGN. We have performed Cosmological Hydrodynamical Simulations to probe SMBHs in high-z quasars (Barai et al. 2018), and IMBHs in DGs (Barai & de Gouveia Dal Pino 2019). Our simulations employ the 3D TreePM SPH code GADGET-3, and include metal cooling, star formation, chemical enrichment, stellar evolution, supernova feedback, AGN accretion and feedback. Analyzing the simulation output in post-processing, we investigate the growth of the first IMBHs and the first SMBHs, as well as their impact on star-formation.

Cytotoxic effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Cuscuta chinensis on PC3 and MCF7 cancer cell lines

Objective: Chemoprevention of cancer by application of natural phytochemical compounds has been used to prevent, delay or suppress cancer progression. Cuscuta chinensis a traditional Iranian medicinal herb, has biological properties including anticancer, anti-aging, immuno-stimulatory and antioxidant effects. In this study, anti-proliferative effects of hydroalcoholic extract of C. chinensis on prostate (PC3) and breast (MCF7) cancer cell lines were investigated. Materials and Methods: In the current study, we investigated treatment of PC3 cells with different concentrations of C. chinensis (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 µg/ml) for 24 and 48 hr; also, MCF7 cells were treated with various concentrations (0-600 µg/ml) of C. chinensis for 48 and 72 hr and cell viability was assessed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. mRNA expression of BCL2 Associated X (Bax), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2), Cysteine-aspartic proteases (Caspase3) and Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. Annexin V/PI staining and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) cytotoxicity assay were used to detect apoptosis. Results: C. chinensis decreased PC3 and MCF7 cells viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner (p<0.01 to p<0.001). The gene expression of BAX/Bcl2 ratio, Caspase3 and PTEN increased in C. chinensis-treated cells compared to the control group. C. chinensis induced apoptosis (p<0.001) and LDH activity (p<0.01 to p<0.001). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that C. chinensis extract is able to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in PC3 and MCF7 cell lines. Therefore, C. chinensis extract exerts antitumor activity against cancer cells.
