System of observation of day-time asteroids (SODA)

Abstract Chelyabinsk event of Feb 15, 2013 clearly demonstrated that decameter sizeNear EarthObjects (NEO) should be considered as hazardous ones. Another important lesson is that bodies approaching the Earth from day sky could not be discovered by any ground-based or near Earth space telescopes and the only way to detect these bodies reasonably well beforehand is to put the telescope(s) relatively far fromthe Earth.We proposed the project of space system SODA (System of Observation of Day-time Asteroids) for exhaustive detection of decameter (and larger) bodies approaching the Earth from the Sun direction (Chelyabinsk type meteoroids). The medium-size (30 cm) wide field telescopes are to be put into vicinity of L1 (Earth-Sun) point. Observations will be performed in barrier mode. Two options are considered: single spacecraft (SC) or pair of SCs. We describe major constituents and options of the project. The entire project could be implemented with off-shelf components and fits to low-cost project requirements. Special attention is paid to accuracy of orbit of the NEO. In a variant of two SCs capable to perform observation in triangulation mode accuracy of atmosphere entry point for Chelyabinsk-like body could be as high as few tens of kilometers.

Repurposing Drugs in Endometrial Cancer Using Genomic Variants Database

Globally, endometrial cancer (EC) is the six most common cancers related to female reproductive. EC incidence and mortality rates have increased over the last decade. Cytotoxic therapy with carboplatin or paclitaxel is the recommended first-line treatment for EC patients. However, the options for following therapy are limited. The latest advances in molecular studies have uncovered the nature of genetic alterations in EC, compelling methods for further research into the treatment of EC since they may disclose to tailored pharmacological therapy. The aim of this study was to identify novel drug candidates in treating EC using genomics variants and biological pathway. The genomic variants of EC were downloaded from cBioportal database. We established connection between the biological EC risk genes from cBioportal database and the DrugBank database. Finally, we used Connectivity Map (CMap) analysis to identify possible drugs whose mechanisms coincided with therapeutic targets and rank them in accordance to scoring criteria. We identified novel conceivable candidate drugs for EC, they are Bosutinib, Acitretin and Nilutamide. These drugs exhibit robust scores in the CMap analysis compare to paclitaxel. We also discovered BCR-ABL1 and AR as potential biomarker-driven therapy in EC. This study demonstrates the possibility of using genetic network analysis combined with bioinformatics to repurpose drugs for the treatment of EC. Further investigation will be undertaken to explore the mechanisms involved in the application of BCR-ABL1 and AR for treating of EC.
Employing Siamese MaLSTM Model and ELMO Word Embedding for Quora Duplicate Questions Detection

Quora is an expanding online platform, that contains a growing collection of questions and answers generated by users. The content on this platform is managed by its users which involves creating, editing, and organization. Due to the vast number of users, it is not uncommon to find multiple questions with similar intents, leading to the problem of duplicate and identical questions. Detection of these duplicates could effectively lead to a more efficient search for high-quality answers, ultimately improving the user experience for both readers and writers on Quora. This study utilizes the dataset of Question Pairs for Quora obtained from Kaggle for identifying questions that are duplicates or identical. To vectorize the questions and for model training, six types of word embeddings are implemented including GoogleNewsVector, FastText crawl, FastText crawl sub-words, bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT), robustly optimized BERT pretraining approach (RoBERTa), and embeddings from language models (ELMO) containing 100 dimensions. The Siamese Manhattan long short-term memory (MaLSTM) neural network model, where Ma is Manhattan distance, is applied with ELMO word embedding to predict duplicate questions in the dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model attained an accuracy of 95.68% which surpasses the state-of-the-art models.

Airborne observations of turbulence, mixing, and gravity waves in the tropopause region

[1] In situ observations of small-scale dynamics and compositional structure in the tropopause region are presented. The measurements were made aboard the Grob “Egrett” high-altitude research aircraft above Aberystwyth, Wales, in the summer of 2000. The observations presented here show evidence of mixing of ozone and water vapor in a patch of intense turbulence just above the tropopause. This turbulence is shown to be the result of wind shear above a tropospheric jet stream. The value of the vertical eddy diffusion coefficient in this turbulence is estimated to be 0.9 m2 s−1. It is also shown that wavelike perturbations superimposed on the overall tracer structure can be accounted for by a gravity wave.
Mamíferos y servicios culturales : objetos en la colección etnográfica del ICANH en el Museo Nacional de Colombia

The cultural Services bring communities intangible benefits that involve spiritual, recreational and aesthetic aspects. Their relationship with the environment or with others and the way they see and understand the world is made through practices such as the creation of objects that symbolize these thoughts. The raw material for the construction of these objects is found in the nature that surrounds such communities, and the taxonomical groups, like mammals are utilized for this purpose. Colombia possess a great biological and cultural diversity. This representation of cultural diversity is being guard and presented in institutions such as the National Museum of Colombia, that withholds an important collection of ethnographical objects from all around the country. Even the smallest of the 89 pieces representing mammals in the ethnographic collection were taxonomically categorize to its minimum group. From these pieces, it was analyzed variables such as usage, geographical point of origin, taxonomical group and guild, proving that the relationship exist between the biological and cultural components, through the use of different species to meet the diverse necessities of use in the various geographical regions. The relationship between components further details the symbolic characteristics that represents the Jaguar for the Sikuani community, with the Claw crown as a symbol of power, virility and strength, being the first step for the interdisciplinary understanding of the importance that such objects have in terms of what they represent to the indigenous groups and their relationship with the environment.
A Snapback-Free and High-Performance Trench Gate Reverse-Conducting SOI-LIGBT With Self-Adaptive nMOS

A snapback-free and high-performance trench gate reverse conducting (RC) lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI-LIGBT) is proposed. With an integrated Schockley diode, the RC and snapback-free forward conducting are accomplished. With a self-adaptive trench gate nMOS, fast and soft reverse recovery as well as low peak forward recovery voltage (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${V}_{\text {FRM}}{)}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is achieved for the diode mode, and low turn-off loss (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${E}_{\text {off}}{)}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is achieved for the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (LIGBT) mode. With a self-adaptive planar gate nMOS, the forward ON-state voltage drop (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\left(V_{\mathrm{CE}(s a t)}\right)$ </tex-math></inline-formula> can be reduced. By using a deep trench with p-ring (DTP), high dynamic avalanche immunity (DAI) is obtained. The trench gate DAI LIGBT combined with a p-i-n diode with a DPT (DTP p-i-n diode) is used for comparison, where the total area of the proposed RC-IGBT is reduced by 42%. Simulation results show that the proposed RC-LIGBT can safely turn off under 100% breakdown voltage and reduce <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${E}_{\text {off}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> by 60% compared to the DAI LIGBT. The reverse recovery charge (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${Q}_{\text {rr}}{)}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> of the proposed RC-LIGBT is 38% of the DTP p-i-n diode and 19% of the conventional p-i-n diode. The reverse recovery softness (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${S}{)}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is increased to 1.05 compared to the DTP p-i-n diode (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${S}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> = 0.14) and the conventional p-i-n diode (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${S}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> = 0.11).
Unveiling the Genetic Secrets of Chinese Indigenous Pigs from Guizhou Province: Diversity, Evolution and Candidate Genes Affecting Pig Coat Color

Simple Summary There are few reports on local pig breeds in Guizhou province. In this work, the population structure, genetic diversity, and selection characteristics of three foreign pig breeds and seven Guizhou local pig breeds were studied. Principal component analysis, adjacent tree analysis, and ADMIXTURE analysis showed that Chinese and Western pig breeds had different ancestral sources. Jianhe White Xiang pig (JHBX) had a distant genetic relationship with the other six local pig breeds in Guizhou province and had unique genetic characteristics. The genetic diversity of the JHBX population was low, and the genetic diversity of the remaining six Chinese native pig populations was generally at a moderate level. In addition, we also screened the candidate genes that affect the coat color phenotype of pigs in Guizhou province through selection signals. Our findings will advance our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying these germplasm characteristics. Abstract The local pig breeds in Guizhou possess exceptional meat quality, robust adaptability, and resilience to harsh feeding conditions, making them ideal for producing high-quality pork. With over 10 local pig breeds in the region, we focused on 7 specific breeds: Baixi pigs (BX), Congjiang Xiang pigs (CJX), Guanling pigs (GL), Jianhe White Xiang pigs (JHBX), Jiangkou Luobo pigs (JKLB), Kele pigs (KL), and Qiandong Hua pigs (QDH). Unfortunately, these breeds face threats such as introduced species and inbreeding, resulting in a decline in population size and numbers. To better protect and utilize these breeds, we employed genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to investigate the population structure, genetic diversity, and selection characteristics of 283 pigs across these seven breeds. Our findings revealed distinct ancestral sources between Chinese and Western pig breeds, as demonstrated by principal component analysis, adjacent tree analysis, and ADMIXTURE analysis. Notably, JHBX exhibited a distant genetic relationship from the other six local pig breeds in Guizhou province, showcasing unique genetic characteristics. While the genetic diversity of the six Chinese native pig populations, excluding JHBX, was generally moderate in Guizhou province, the JHBX population displayed low genetic diversity. Therefore, it is imperative to intensify selection efforts to prevent inbreeding decline in JHBX while further enhancing the protection measures for the other six pig populations. Additionally, we identified candidate genes influencing the size disparity among pigs in Guizhou province through signal selection. Our study outcomes serve as a reference for developing effective conservation and utilization plans for pig breeds in Guizhou province and deepen our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying pig body size.

Genomic Alterations Affecting Competitive Endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) and Regulatory Networks (ceRNETs) with Clinical Implications in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)

The concept of competitive endogenous RNA regulation has brought on a change in the way we think about transcriptional regulation by miRNA–mRNA interactions. Rather than the relatively simple idea of miRNAs negatively regulating mRNA transcripts, mRNAs and other non-coding RNAs can regulate miRNAs and, therefore, broad networks of gene products through competitive interactions. While this concept is not new, its significant roles in and implications on cancer have just recently come to light. The field is now ripe for the extrapolation of technologies with a substantial clinical impact on cancer. With the majority of the genome consisting of non-coding regions encoding regulatory RNAs, genomic alterations in cancer have considerable effects on these networks that have been previously unappreciated. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by high mutational burden, genomic instability and heterogeneity, making this aggressive breast cancer subtype particularly relevant to these changes. In the past few years, much has been learned about the roles of competitive endogenous RNA network regulation in tumorigenesis, disease progression and drug response in triple-negative breast cancer. In this review, we present a comprehensive view of the new knowledge and future perspectives on competitive endogenous RNA networks affected by genomic alterations in triple-negative breast cancer. An overview of the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis and its bearing on cellular function and disease is provided, followed by a thorough review of the literature surrounding key competitive endogenous RNAs in triple-negative breast cancer, the genomic alterations affecting them, key disease-relevant molecular and functional pathways regulated by them and the clinical implications and significance of their dysregulation. New knowledge of the roles of these regulatory mechanisms and the current acceleration of research in the field promises to generate insights into the diagnosis, classification and treatment of triple-negative breast cancer through the elucidation of new molecular mechanisms, therapeutic targets and biomarkers.
Proximate and Phytochemical Constituents of Ethanolic Extract of Seeds of Cola Acuminata and Cola Nitida

This study evaluated the proximate and phytochemical constituents of ethanolic seeds extracts of Cola nitida and Cola acuminata. The seeds of C. acuminata and C. nitida were purchased and air-dried at room temperature. The dried seeds were pulverized to ground sample. The sample was weighed and used for the proximate and phytochemical analysis. The qualitative phytochemical screening revealed the presence of secondary metabolites: alkaloid, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, Cardiac glycoside, terpenes (tri), steroids and saponins, but the absence of anthraquinones. The seed of C. nitida was higher in alkaloids, saponins, phenols, tannins, steroids, triterpenes and C-glycosides than the seed of C. acuminata, while the seed of C. acuminata was higher in flavonoids and carbohydrates than the seed of C. nitida. There was no statistical significant difference (p>0.05) between the levels of alkaloids, saponins, phenols and tannins in seed of C. nitida and seed of C. acuminata. The difference between the levels of flavonoids, carbohydrates, steroids, triterpenes and C-glycosides in seed of C. nitida and seed of C. acuminata was statistically significant (p<0.05). The seed of C. nitida was higher in moisture, ash, lipid and crude protein than the seed of C. acuminata, while the seed of C. acuminata was higher in crude fibre and carbohydrate than the seed of C. nitida. There was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between the levels of moisture, ash, lipid, crude fibre and crude protein in seed of C. nitida and seed of C. acuminata. The difference between the level of carbohydrate in seed of C. nitida and seed of C. acuminata was statistically significant (p<0.05). The result shows that seeds of C. acuminata and C. nitida possess an appreciable level of phytochemicals. It could be a good raw material for the production of some medicinal drugs and can be used in folk medicine for the treatment of some diseases.
Soil Particle Transport and Mixing Near a Hillslope Crest: 1. Particle Ages and Residence Times

We examine probabilistic elements of soil particle ages and residence times measured from their entry into the mechanically active soil column, focusing on steady conditions near a hillslope crest, where particles steadily move into and through a soil mantle with fixed thickness in the presence of erosion. Our objective is to clarify consequences of the geometry of the particle trajectories and disturbance‐driven mixing in relation to the arrangement of the surfaces through which the particles enter and leave the soil element. We introduce an Eulerian‐Lagrangian description of particle motions to characterize effects of a nonuniform (two‐dimensional) mean motion with superimposed depth‐dependent mixing. With weak mixing, the forms and moments of the probability distributions of particle residence times and ages are distinct and are largely controlled by the geometry of the mean particle motion within the soil element. The average particle age is systematically less than the average residence time. These distributions converge to exponential forms with equal means only in the idealized limit of a “well‐mixed” system. The analysis provides the foundation for considering particle weathering and chemical losses in relation to residence times and ages and for describing the spatiotemporal structure of tracers, for example, cosmogenic nuclide concentrations and optically stimulated luminescence particle ages, in relation to what these reveal about particle mixing.

White Rot Fungi as Tools for the Bioremediation of Xenobiotics: A Review

Industrial development has enhanced the release into the environment of large quantities of chemical compounds with high toxicity and limited prospects of degradation. The pollution of soil and water with xenobiotic chemicals has become a major ecological issue; therefore, innovative treatment technologies need to be explored. Fungal bioremediation is a promising technology exploiting their metabolic potential to remove or lower the concentrations of xenobiotics. In particular, white rot fungi (WRF) are unique microorganisms that show high capacities to degrade a wide range of toxic xenobiotic compounds such as synthetic dyes, chlorophenols, polychlorinated biphenyls, organophosphate pesticides, explosives and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In this review, we address the main classes of enzymes involved in the fungal degradation of organic pollutants, the main mechanisms used by fungi to degrade these chemicals and the suitability of fungal biomass or extracellular enzymes for bioremediation. We also exemplify the role of several fungi in degrading pollutants such as synthetic dyes, PAHs and emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and perfluoroalkyl/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Finally, we discuss the existing current limitations of using WRF for the bioremediation of polluted environments and future strategies to improve biodegradation processes.
