Exact solutions for unsteady MHD free convection flow with time dependent shear stress

In this paper, the effects of MHD on unsteady free convection flow with time dependent shear stress are analyzed. The effects of thermal radiation and porosity on the flow are also studied. Closed-form solutions in general form are obtained by using the Laplace transform technique. The obtained results for velocity and temperature are found to satisfy all the imposed initial and boundary conditions and can be reduced to known solutions from the literature as limiting cases. The velocity profile is presented as a sum of convective and mechanical parts. The effects of shear stress and effective Prandtl number on velocity as well as temperature profiles are presented graphically and discussed in details.
The role of midwives in improving breastfeeding practices in protracted crises: The Gaza Strip example

Background: The protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding is the most effective intervention to prevent child morbidity and mortality in all contexts. During the Palestine-Israel conflict that started in the middle of the 20th century, healthcare services are understaffed and lack basic resources, with frequent power cuts and stock-outs of essential drugs and equipment. This case study seeks to answer the questions: (1) How does the protracted crisis in Gaza affect the breastfeeding practices of the most vulnerable population; and (2) What is the role that midwives can play in improving breastfeeding practices? A mixed method (qualitative and quantitative) study was used to collect data. A total of 1044 respondents had a child less than 24 months at the time of the study. A total of 62.75 percent practice early initiation of breastfeeding and 42 percent confirmed that their new-borns were given liquids other than breast milk during the first three days of life. Fifty percent of mothers addressed breast milk insufficiency by drinking additional fluids and 40 percent by using infant formula. Discussion:This study confirms the need to a) implement the IYCF-E operational guidance in the Gaza strip and b) review the pre-service and in-service training for midwives. For vulnerable populations in humanitarian contexts, the impact of this cannot be underestimated. Conducting research in humanitarian settings is particularly challenging. Our experience included integration and linkage with international organizations security officers on the ground, co-ordination of activities with authorities and communities, regular supportive supervision during data collection, allocation of buffer days and geographical areas and in-country and remote assistance to data collection teams Conclusions:This research focuses on a protracted emergency in insecure populated areas. The unpredictable security situation meant that the team adopted a flexible approach during data collection. Lessons learned throughout this process include the importance of a) allocating additional research time, to account for potential interruption b) daily coordination with security officers to ensure safe access to localities c) identification of extra sites, in case escalation of conflict d) training of additional enumerators in case conflict escalation e) negotiation with authorities to ensure compliance with requirements.
Correlation study on gut microbiota and omentin-1 gene polymorphism in Uyghur newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a top risk factor for health in China. Gut microbiota, genetic factors and lipids metabolism play important role in development of T2DM. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the gut microbiota and omentin-1 gene polymorphism to explore the interaction between host gene and gut microbiota in Uyghur T2DM. Methods: A total of 98 newly diagnosed Uyghur T2DM patients and 99 healthy normal controls (NC) enrolled into this study according to inclusion criteria. The total DNAs was extracted from the fecal microbiota. Abundance of the Lactobacillus genus, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Clostridium in the gut microbiota was determined with 16S rDNA gene Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR amplification. PCR-PFLP was applied to determine the genotypes of Val109Asp variant (rs2274907) in the Omentin-1 gene. And the relationship between rs2274907 and gut microbiota was assessed. Results: There were no significant differences of the Val109Asp variant (rs2274907) between T2DM and NC group. The abundance of Lactobacillus genus and Clostridium genus was lower in newly diagnosed T2DM group than in the NC group (P<0.05). Serum insulin, LDL-C, the abundances of Lactobacillus genus and Clostridium genus were the risk factors of T2DM. (OR=1.094 95%CI 1.014-1.180), (OR=3.868 95%CI 1.250-11.971), (OR=0.288 95%CI 0.145-0.571), (OR=0.044 95%CI 0.012-0.154). Conclusions: The abundance of Lactobacillus and Clostridium genus may be related to the pathogenesis of new-onset T2DM in Uyghur population, the mechanism of which needs to be further studied. The interactive relationship between the gut microbiota and omentin-1 gene polymorphism in newly diagnosed T2DM was not observed in this study.
Redox-Responsive Tumor Targeted Dual-Drug Loaded Biocompatible Metal-Organic Frameworks for Enhancing Anticancer Cytotoxicity

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven to be a promising class of drug carriers due to their high porosity, crystalline properties with defined structure information, and their potential for further functionalization. However, to date, no extensive research has been conducted on MOF-based drug carriers with stimuli-responsive, dual-drug delivery, and tumor targeting functions. Here, we demonstrate the strategy of constructing a redox responsive and tumor-targeted MOF, as dual-drug carrier, by anchoring functional disulfide anhydride and folic acid (FA) molecules to the organic links of MOFs, respectively. The MOF composites show the controlled release of loaded 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) entrapped within UiO-66-NH2 nanostructures modified by dichloroacetic acid (DCA). Moreover, the MOF building block DCA acts as a synergistical drug to 5-FU in cancer cells inhibition. Through disulfide bonds, the gated MOF has redox-responsive drugs release. The confocal laser scanning microscopy further proved that conjugation of folic acid to the MOF surface can significantly enhance the targeting ability to cancer cells and the cancer cell uptake of FA-MOFs. The synthesis of redox-responsive dual-drug delivery MOF hybrids paves the way to assemble of other MOF hybrids that respond to other triggering factors such as light, temperature, pH, or biomarkers. The properties and functions of such materials are expected to influence the development of sensors, new catalysts, photonic devices, and drug delivery carriers.
Transition metals in the transition zone: Crystal chemistry of minor element substitution in wadsleyite

Abstract As the most abundant solid phase at depths of 410–525 km, wadsleyite constitutes a large geochemical reservoir in the Earth. To better understand the implications of minor element substitution and cation ordering in wadsleyite, we have synthesized wadsleyites coexisting with pyroxenes with 2–3 wt% of either TiO2, Cr2O3, V2O3, CoO, NiO, or ZnO under hydrous conditions in separate experiments at 1300 °C and 15 GPa. We have refined the crystal structures of these wadsleyites by single-crystal X ray diffraction, analyzed the compositions by electron microprobe, and estimated M3 vacancy concentration from b/a cell-parameter ratios. According to the crystal structure refinements, Cr and V show strong preferences for M3 over M1 and M2 sites and significant substitution up to 2.9 at% at the tetrahedral site (T site). Ni, Co, and Zn show site preferences similar to those of Fe with M1≈ M3 > M2 > T. The avoidance of Ni, Co, and Fe for the M2 site in both wadsleyite and olivine appears to be partially controlled by crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE). The estimated CFSE values of Ni2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ at three distinct octahedral sites show a positive correlation with octahedral occupancy ratios [M2/(M1+M3)]. Ti substitutes primarily into the M3 octahedron, rather than M1, M2, or T sites. Ti, Cr, and V each have greater solubility in wadsleyite than in olivine. Therefore these transition metal cations may be enriched in a melt or an accessory phase if hydrous melting occurs on upward convection across the wadsleyite-olivine boundary and may be useful as indicators of high-pressure origin.
Crystalline Protein Dynamics : A Simulation Analysis of Staphylococcal Nuclease

Understanding motions in protein crystals is likely to furnish insight into functional protein dynamics and will improve models for refinement against diffraction data. In this thesis, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of crystalline Staphylococcal nuclease are reported and analysed in terms of fluctuations, correlations, X-ray diffuse scattering, disorder and models of protein motion. Convergence properties of dynamical quantities are determined. The logarithmic dependence on the simulation length of the R factor with the experimental X-ray diffuse scattering, which is determined by the atomic displacement variance-covariance matrix, is extrapolated to predict a convergence time for the whole variance-covariance matrix of approximately 1 microsecond. The dynamical origin of the X-ray diffuse scattering is investigated using models of liquid-like and collective motion. A smooth, nearly-isotropic scattering shell at q=0.28Ang^-1 originates from equal contributions from correlations in nearest-neighbour water molecule dynamics and from internal protein motions, the latter consisting of alpha-helix pitch and inter-beta-strand fluctuations. Superposed on the shell are intense features that originate from a very small number of slowly-varying (>10ns) collective motions. The individual features are assigned to specific collective motions in the protein, and some of these describe potentially functional active-site deformations. The dynamics along each collective mode is described using Brownian dynamics. Modes with frequencies below 0.55THz are overdamped while the majority (98.6%) of modes perfom underdamped vibrations. MD simulations over the pressure range 1bar to 15kbar reveal a qualitative change in the internal protein motions at approximately 4kbar. This change involves the existence of two linear regimes in the mean-square displacement for internal protein motion with a twofold decrease in the slope above 4kbar. The major effect of the pressure increase on the dynamics is a loss of large-amplitude, collective protein modes below 2THz effective frequency.
Reactive Copolymers Based on N-Vinyl Lactams with Pyridyl Disulfide Side Groups via RAFT Polymerization and Postmodification via Thiol–Disulfide Exchange Reaction

Herein, we report the synthesis of a series of novel pyridyl disulfide (PDS)-functionalized statistical reactive copolymers that enable facile access to complex polymeric architectures through highly selective thiol–disulfide exchange reaction with thiol-containing ligands or proteins. Functional reactive poly(N-vinyl lactam)-based copolymers including poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone-co-pyridyl disulfide ethyl methacrylate) (PVPD), poly(N-vinylpiperidone-co-pyridyl disulfide ethyl methacrylate) (PVPID), and poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-pyridyl disulfide ethyl methacrylate) (PVD) with PDS side groups were synthesized via reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization at 60 °C in anisole with methyl 2-(ethoxycarbonothioylthio)propanoate as chain transfer agent. The PDS contents in the synthesized copolymers were varied from 2 to 10 mol % (as confirmed by systematical characterization with FTIR/Raman and 1H NMR spectroscopy) using well-controlled continuous feeding method. The kinetics study su.
Design Strategies in Hydrothermal Polymerization of Polyimides

Hydrothermal polymerization (HTP) is a technique to synthesize highly crystalline polyimides in solely water. The process involves monomer salt intermediates also able to undergo other polymerizations during the HTP experiment: sub-hydrothermal polymerization (sHTP) and solid-state polycondensation (SSP). Both processes yield semicrystalline polyimides at best. This is widely believed to result from irreversible bond-formation and the incorporation of conformational defects during chain growth. Here, microwave-assisted HTP is used, allowing for controlling the heating time to the reaction temperature, and thus to strongly reduce sHTP. Moreover, we show that highest crystallinity can be obtained in the higher hydrothermal regime (≈200 °C), and synthesize two polyimides of sufficient crystallinity to refine their crystal structures from powder X-ray diffraction data. This study brings us one step closer to a general picture and rational design of the hydrothermal synthesis of polyimides.
A molecular dynamics study of the effect of helium clusters on grain boundary migration in bcc iron

The kinetic interplay between helium (He) segregation, He cluster formation and curvature-driven grain boundary migration in bcc iron (-Fe) has been investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. He atoms that segregate to the migrating boundary are found to be trapped in vacant substitutional sites emitted by the migrating boundary. He atoms that form clusters in the bulk restrain the boundary migration via a pinning mechanism. The pinning pressure of He clusters is proportional to the density and the squared radius of each cluster. A cluster pinning model has been developed by taking into account the two-fold effect of clusters on the boundary migration: (1) reducing the boundary mobility and (2) acting as pinning objects that delay or even completely halt the boundary migration. The model is found to be in agreement with the simulation results.
Approaching the Truth of the Missing Carbon Sink

Numerous efforts in investigating the global carbon balance have concluded that the global CO2 budget cannot be balanced unless a ‘‘missing carbon sink’’ is invoked. Until now there have been considerable uncertainties as to the magnitude of the C-sink in different regions and the contributions of aboveground/ underground processes. This study is aimed at presenting a first estimate of the gap between observed soil respiration and its biological components in arid areas that characterize more than 30% of Earth’s total land surface. In the current literature, soil respiration flux is interpreted in the context of an unstated hypothesis that the fluxes were largely determined by underground biological processes. However, the assumption turned out to be incorrect. Negative soil respiration fluxes in unneglectable arid regions implied a gap in our knowledge. The first estimate of the gap between observed soil respiration flux and its biological components in the global arid regions is a beginning at determining the size of the missing C-sink.
Alteration of lung tissues proteins in birch pollen induced asthma mice before and after SCIT

Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is a classic form of allergen-specific immunotherapy that is used to treat birch pollen induced allergic asthma. To investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of SCIT, we aimed to profile lung samples to explore changes in the differential proteome before and after SCIT in mice with allergic asthma. Fresh lungs were collected from three groups of female BALB/c mice: 1) control mice, 2) birch pollen-induced allergic mice, and 3) birch pollen-induced allergic mice with SCIT. Tandem mass tag (TMT) labelling coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to analyze the lung proteome in the mice. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) and Gene Ontology (GO) classification analysis were applied to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and crucial pathways. The screened DEPs were validated by immunohistochemistry analysis. A total of 317 proteins were upregulated and 184 proteins were downregulated in the asthma group compared to those of the control group. In contrast, 639 DEPs (163 upregulated and 456 downregulated proteins) were identified after SCIT in comparison with those of the asthma group. Among the 639 DEPs, 277 proteins returned to similar levels as those of the relative non-asthma condition. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that the 277 proteins played a significant role in the leukocyte extravasation signaling pathway. The leukocyte extravasation signaling pathway and related DEPs were of crucial importance in birch pollen SCIT.
