Hard X-rays from Emission Line Galaxies and the X-ray Background: A Test for Advection Dominated Accretion with Radio Sources

Recent studies of the cosmic X-ray background (XRB) have suggested the possible existence of a population of relatively faint sources with hard X-ray spectra; however, the emission mechanism remains unclear. If the hard X-ray emission is from the radiatively inefficient, advection dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) around massive black holes in galactic nuclei, X-ray luminosity and radio luminosity satisfy the approximate relation $L_R\sim 7\times 10^{35}(\nu/15GHz)^{7/5}(M/10^7M_{\odot}) (L_x/10^{40} erg s^{-1})^{1/10} erg s^{-1}$ where $L_R=\nu L_\nu$ is the radio luminosity at frequency $\nu$, $M$ is the mass of the accreting black hole, and $10^{40} \simle L_x\simle 10^{42} erg s^{-1}$ is the 2-10 keV X-ray luminosity. These sources are characterized by inverted radio spectra $I_\nu \propto \nu^{2/5}$. For example, an ADAF X-ray source with luminosity $L_x\sim 10^{41} erg s^{-1}$ has a nuclear radio luminosity of $\sim 4\times 10^{36}(M/3\times 10^7M_{\odot}) erg s^{-1}$ at $\sim 20$ GHz and if at a distance of $\sim 10 (M/3\times 10^7M_{\odot})^{1/2} Mpc$ would be detected as a $\sim 1mJy$ point radio source. High frequency ($\sim 20 GHz$), high angular resolution radio observations provide an important test of the ADAF emission mechanism. Since $L_R$ depends strongly on black hole mass and only weakly on X-ray luminosity, the successful measurement of nuclear radio emission could provide an estimate of black hole mass. Because the X-ray spectra produced by ADAFs are relatively hard, sources of this emission are natural candidates for contributing to the hard, $>2$ keV, background.
FaceMemNet: Predicting Face Memorability with Deep Neural Networks

With the advent of social media in our day to day life, we are exposed to plenty of images, especially face photographs, every day. Recent behavioural studies have shown that some of these photographs stick in the mind better than others. However, it is still unclear what factors make a picture more or less memorable. Previous research have shown that memorability is an intrinsic property of an image, hence the memorability of an image can be computed from that image. Moreover, various works found that the memorability of an image is highly consistent across people and also over time. Recently, researchers employed deep neural networks to predict image memorability. Here, we show although those models perform well on scene and object images, they perform poorly on photographs of human faces. We demonstrate and explain why generic memorability models do not result in an acceptable performance on face photographs and propose seven different models to estimate the memorability of face images. In addition, we show that these models outperform the previous classical methods, which were used for predicting face memorability.
RESISTANT PATTERN OF NALIDIXIC ACID AGAINST UROPATHOGENS IN SELECTED AREAS OF DHAKA CITY, BANGLADESH

Treatment of urinary tract infections is becoming more complicated with an increase of the number of resistant strains to antibiotics and prevalence of antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Our aim was to assess the susceptible pattern of Nalidixic Acid which is a synthetic drug of Quinolone antibiotic against uropathogens which cased Urinary Tract Infections. A total of 9178 urine samples were collected in 2016 (January-December) and out of which 890 (9.70%) were bacteriologically positive. Among the isolated uropathogens, 94.1% were gram negative and 5.9% gram positive organism. Male were found more prone to get UTI under 10 years and between 51-80 years of age and females were more affected in 10 to 50 years and over 80 years of age group. E. coli was the most prevalent (83.9%) isolate followed by Klebsiella spp. (7.1%), Staphylococcus aureus (3.1%), Enterococci spp. (2.6%), Pseudomonas spp. (2.2%), Proteus spp. (0.8%) and Staphylococcus saprophyticus (0.2%). The most predominant sensitive organisms to Nalidixic Acid were Klebsiella spp. (male 31.3% and female 40.4%) and resistant organisms Pseudomonas spp. (100%) and Proteus spp . (100%) in both male and female found. Around 87.6% male and 76.8% female were found resistant to E. coli .
Anti-anxiety effect of Alpha-pinene in comparison with Diazepam in adult male rats

: Background: Considering the side effects of anti- anxiety drugs, this study investigated the effect of alpha-pinene on anxiety behaviors compared with Diazepam in rats. Materials and Methods In this study, 40 male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups: control, sham (received alphapinene solvent), the groups received 2 and 4 mg/kg alphapinene, and the group that received diazepam 10 mg/kg . At the end of this period, anxiety was measured using elevated plus maze and concentrations of malondialdehyde, thiol and glutathione peroxidase, in hippocampal tissue. The results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests. Results: In the groups receiving 2 and 4 mg/kg doses of alpha-pinene significantly increased the percentage of open arm entry ( P <0.001) and percentage of time spent in the open arm ( P <0.05) ( P <0.05). Compared to the control and diazepam groups, administration of alphapinene significantly decreased MDA concentration ( P <0.001) and significant increase in thiol ( P <0.01) ( P <0.05) and glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity was evident ( P <0.001). Conclusion: Alpha-pinene showed a downward effect on anxiety responses in male rats, similar to anxiolytic effects of diazepam. Alpha-pinene may be potentiated by binding to the position of benzodiazepines in GABA A receptors and exerted its anti-anxiety effect with antioxidant properties.

Objective: The EX-PRESS device is a surgical alternative for the treatment of POAG. To describe the IOP behavior before and after the implantation of the EX-PRESS, the pharmacological treatment used in the pre and postoperative period and the complications in the first year of the postoperative period. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study with review of electronic medical records of a private ophthalmological reference hospital in Goiânia (GO) from 2013 to 2018. Sample composed of 8 eyes with POAG subjected to the EX-PRESS implant. We observed the variables: gender, age, operated eye, antiglaucomatous medications used, pre and postoperative intraocular pressure, and possible complications. Results: In the preoperative period, all eyes used antiglaucomatous drops, 75% used 3 or more different classes simultaneously. After 12 months of EX-PRESS, only 12.5% used three or more eye drops and 37.5% did not use any eye drops. On average, IOP varied from 18.63mmHg (SD 9.38) in the preoperative period to 14.50mmHg (SD 4.14) at 12 months postoperatively. Complications were: ocular hypotension, ocular hypertension; thinning of the conjunctival blister, cystic blister obstruction of the EX-PRESS. We resolved all coplications. Conclusion: The efficacy of EX-PRESS in IOP reduction was verified in the study. Concomitantly, there was a considerable decrease in anti-glaucomatous medications, and few associated complications.

Testing Bell inequalities with weak measurements

Quantum theory is inconsistent with any local hidden variable model as was first shown by Bell. To test Bell inequalities two separated observers extract correlations from a common ensemble of identical systems. Since quantum theory does not allow simultaneous measurements of noncommuting observables, on each system every party measures a single randomly chosen observable out of a given set. Here we suggest a different approach for testing Bell inequalities that is experimentally realizable by current methods. We show that Bell inequalities can be maximally violated even when all observables are measured on each member of the ensemble. This is possible by using weak measurements that produce small disturbance, at the expense of accuracy. However, our approach does not constitute an independent test of quantum nonlocality since the local hidden variables may correlate the noise of the measurement instruments. Nevertheless, by adding a randomly chosen precise measurement at the end of every cycle of weak measurements, the parties can verify that the hidden variables were not interfering with the noise, and thus validate the suggested test.
A wearable textile dipole for search and rescue application

—A wearable textile antenna for search and rescue application is presented in this work. It is designed based on the dipole topology to operate at 406 MHz for the Cospas-Sarsat application and fabricated fully using textile materials. The meanderline miniaturization technique is chosen to compact the proposed dipole due to its expected large size and wavelength at 406 MHz. The antenna evaluated in planar and bent forms indicated satisfactory performance when evaluated in terms of reflection coefficients, gain and radiation patterns.
BIROn - Birkbeck Institutional Research Online in malaria parasite proteins.

Summary: Repetitive sequences are widespread in Plasmodium falciparum proteins; the importance of these sequences is increasingly apparent. ABSTRACT Five species of parasite cause malaria in humans with the most severe disease caused by Plasmodium falciparum . Many of the proteins encoded in the P. falciparum genome are unusually enriched in repetitive low complexity sequences containing a limited repertoire of amino acids. These repetitive sequences expand and contract dynamically and are among the most rapidly changing sequences in the genome. The simplest repetitive sequences consist of single amino acid repeats such as poly-asparagine tracts which are found in approximately 25% of P. falciparum proteins. More complex repeats of two or more amino acids are also common in diverse parasite protein families. There is no universal explanation for the occurrence of repetitive sequences and it is possible that many confer no function to the encoded protein and no selective advantage or disadvantage to the parasite. However, there are increasing numbers of examples where repetitive sequences are important for parasite protein function . We discuss the diverse roles of low complexity repetitive sequences throughout the parasite life cycle, from mediating protein-protein interactions to enabling the parasite to evade the host immune system.
THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENT AND THEIR NEURAL BASES

: The positive resources for securing the improvement and its neuronal centers were largely sought after by rodents. For example, a simple change in an animal's present situation may stimulate unmistakable inspiration (whether or not it is divided into two halves), facilitate new conceptions of hippocampal recognition and neuroplasticity, and also facilitate hippocampal deficiencies caused by neurodegenerative weaknesses. The masters are concerned about whether those exercises that improve thinking (or straightforwardness) will help looked like effects on individuals. Our recurring pattern request was for Lahore General Hospital Lahore from April 2017 to May 2018. Regardless of the way in which different "driving" characteristics of standard life differ here, researchers continually adapt to new practices and conditions within their very own environment on the normal foundation. At this moment, the researchers suspect that the evaluation of enormous and supposedly animating virtual environments in PC games is the human accomplice of environmental improvement. Investigators show that video players who unequivocally support multifaceted 3D PC games perform better in the annoying memory task that measures applicants' tendency to perceive fantastically similar attractants from redundant substances. After 3 weeks of preparation for the 3D video game Super Mario 3D World, the acceptance of video players showed an improved taste restriction and progressions in the replicated work in the water maze. 2 control conditions, showed no such updates. In addition, discreet presentation in joint hippocampal-related shows related to the presentation in Super Mario before they are long not angry birds, suggesting that the way individuals found virtual environments can affect the execution of the hippocampus.
ON BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS FOR P -LAPLACE AND P -DIRAC EQUATIONS

The p -Laplace equation is a nonlinear generalization of the Laplace equation. This generalization is often used as a model problem for special types of nonlinearities. The p -Laplace equation can be seen as a bridge between very general nonlinear equations and the linear Laplace equation. The aim of this paper is to solve the p -Laplace equation for 2 < p < 3 and to ﬁnd strong solutions. The idea is to apply a hypercomplex integral operator and spatial function theoretic methods to transform the p -Laplace equation into the p -Dirac equation. This equation will be solved iteratively by using a ﬁxed point theorem.
Comparison Between The Effects Of Two Recaldent ® Products And Artificial Saliva On The Hardness Of Enamel – An In Vitro Study

This in vitro experimental study on 24 extracted sound human maxillary central incisors was conducted to evaluate the effects of two Recaldent ® products and artificial saliva on the hardness of enamel. All hardness measurements were taken with Vickers hardness tester. A two stage blinding procedure was performed. Data was entered into MS Excel spreadsheet and processed using SPSS software version 15.0. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Student t test and Bonferroni test were performed. The difference in enamel microhardness between baseline and demineralization in the groups A 1 , A 2 , A 3 were 1.1, 0.4, 1.1 respectively. The mean difference in enamel microhardness measured afterremineralisationin the groups A 1 , A 2 , A 3 were 3.8, 2.9, 0respectively. CPP-ACP and CPP-ACFP increase the microhardness of enamel. Artificial saliva increases the hardness of enamel, but to a lesser extent than CPP-ACP and CPP-ACFP. There is no difference between the remineralising capacity of CPP-ACP and CPP-ACFP.
Simulació de personatges autònoms en entorns de realitat virtual

This project aims to create a 3D virtual reality environment set in a train station to carry out studies on the reaction of users to a situation of alarm without notice. The user will get familiar to this virtual environment by performing some tasks that will have been assigned previously. For the development of this project we have studied the features offered by Unity to create virtual environments. We have also studied all the features needed for programming the functions that are involved in the animation and behaviour of the characters and the user’s avatar. In addition, the tools that Unity provides have been used to improve the visualization of the environment. We have also enhanced and extended the basic features offered by Unity in order to further improve the movement of the characters, or the performance among others.
CORPORATE ENTREPRENEURSHIP A measurement framework for generating and integrating innovations in corporations

The soaring success of start-ups forces corporations to rethink their innovation approach and become more entrepreneurial. While corporate venturing is a popular way of accessing innovations, large companies often fail at implementing them. This work project identifies, under which conditions companies successfully generate and integrate innovations. Using data from literature and expert interviews, 30 fundamental influencing factors are formulated in terms of leadership, structure or culture. A questionnaire based on this framework allows corporate managers to measure the extent to which the factors are perceived by employees inside the organization. Consequently, radar charts support managers in designing appropriate innovation strategies.
Climate Model Errors over the South Indian Ocean Thermocline Dome and Their Effect on the Basin Mode of Interannual Variability*

An open-ocean thermocline dome south of the equator is a striking feature of the Indian Ocean (IO) as a result of equatorial westerly winds. Over the thermocline dome, the El Ni ño –forced Rossby waves help sustain the IO basin (IOB) mode and offer climate predictability for the IO and surrounding countries. This study shows that a common equatorial easterly wind bias, by forcing a westward-propagating downwelling Rossby wave in the southern IO, induces too deep a thermocline dome over the southwestern IO (SWIO) in state-of-the-art climate models. Such a deep SWIO thermocline weakens the inﬂuence of subsurface variability on sea surface temperature (SST), reducing the IOB amplitude and possibly limiting the models’ skill of regional climate prediction. To the extent that the equatorial easterly wind bias originates from errors of the South Asian summer monsoon, improving the monsoon simulation can lead to substantial improvements in simulating and predicting interannual variability in the IO.
Research Paper: Protective Effect of Time-Modulated Cimetidine on Methotrexate-induced Liver Toxicity

Background: Methotrexate (MTX) is one of the frequently used chemotherapeutic agents, especially in hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Objectives: MTX hepatotoxicity symptoms range from elevations in serum aminotransferases to hepatocyte necrosis and fibrosis. The time of medication administration significantly impacts treatment outcomes. Hence this study evaluated the protective effect of time-modulated cimetidine (CT) against MTX-induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. Methods: Thirty-six adult male albino rats were randomized into 6 groups. Group A (control) was injected intraperitoneally (IP) with normal saline (0.2 mL) for 24 h. Group B received CT (20 mg/kg IP) for 24 h. Group C was treated IP with MTX (20 mg/kg) for 24 h. Group C (pre-treatment) was injected IP with CT one hour before MTX administration for 24 h. Group E (co-treatment group) was co-treated IP with CT and MTX for 24 h. Group F (post-treatment group) was treated IP with one dose of MTX one hour before CT injection for 24 h. After treatments, the rats were weighed and euthanized. Blood samples were collected and their blood samples were evaluated for serum liver function markers, also liver samples were excised and used for biochemical and histological studies. Results: The liver of MTX-treated rats was characterized by hepatocyte necrosis. Aminotransferases, gamma-glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, conjugated bilirubin, total bilirubin, and malondialdehyde activities were significantly (P<0.001) up-regulated in MTX-treated rats. However, glutathione, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase activities were significantly (P<0.001) down-regulated in MTX-treated rats. The above hepatotoxic changes were significantly attenuated in rats pre-treated (P<0.001), co-treated (P<0.01), and post-treated (P<0.05) with CT when compared to MTX group. Conclusion: However, pre-treatment with CT was most effective, hence it may be clinically useful for MTX-induced hepatotoxicity.
the of a claim related to proanthocyanidins in Urell® and reduction of bacterial colonisation of the urinary tract by inhibition of the adhesion of P-fimbriated E. coli to uroepithelial cells pursuant to 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006

by inhibition of the adhesion of P-fimbriated E. coli to uroepithelial cells is a beneficial physiological effect. No human studies from which conclusions could be drawn for the scientific substantiation of the claim were provided by the applicant. The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of proanthocyanidins in Urell® and reduction of bacterial colonisation of the urinary tract by inhibition of the adhesion of P-fimbriated E. coli to uroepithelial cells. on methodological aspects of the study (i.e. power calculations, methods of randomisation, urine sample collection, steps for performing quantitative urine cultures, statistical methods), and stated that the full study report did not exist. The study was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-finding intervention where 80 female long-term nursing home residents (mean age 89.2 ± 7 years) with history of urinary tract infection (UTI) were randomised (20 subjects per group) to consume three capsules of Urell® (108 mg PAC), two capsules of Urell® and one placebo capsule (72 mg PAC), one capsule of Urell® and two placebo capsules (36 mg PAC), or three placebo capsules (0 mg PAC) for 30 days. Exclusion criteria were total incontinence, warfarin therapy, < 4 weeks residence, chronic indwelling catheter, terminal prognosis, antibiotic therapy, kidney stones, dialysis, cranberry “therapy”, and cranberry “allergy”. The majority of participants were totally dependent on bathing (54 %) and had some bowel (67 %) and bladder (76 %) incontinence. Urine samples for urine cultures and analyses were collected at baseline and then weekly for four weeks (total 5 specimens) as catch specimens. In patients with urine incontinency, a bed pan was placed below them. The Panel notes that the urine sampling methods used in this study do not ensure sterility of the samples. Of the 73 urine culture analyses performed at baseline, only one had no bacterial growth and eight had less than 10 5 cfu/mL. Subjects were randomised using two strata permuted block randomisation based on the presence or absence of bacterial growth > 10 5 cfu/mL at baseline. The primary outcome of the study was the number of episodes of bacteriuria (defined as more than 10 5 cfu/mL of any bacteria) and pyuria (defined as “any white blood cells seen on microscopic urin-alysis”) at days 7, 14, 21 and 28 of the study. Results were presented and analysed as number of urine samples per intervention groups with “ E. coli bacteriuria” plus pyuria, with “other bacteriuria”
