Repurposing of FDA Approved Drugs for the Identification of Potential Inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease
Authors: Ray Abhik Kumar , Gupta Parth Sarthi Sen , Panda Saroj Kumar , Biswal Satyaranjan , Rana Malay Kumar
Published: May 2020

COVID-19, responsible for several deaths, demands a cumulative effort of scientists worldwide to curb the pandemic. The main protease, responsible for the cleavage of the polyprotein and formation of replication complex in virus, is considered as a promising target for the development of potential inhibitors to treat the novel coronavirus. The effectiveness of FDA approved drugs targeting the main protease in previous SARS-COV (s) reported earlier indicates the chances of success for the repurposing of FDA drugs against SARS-COV-2. Therefore, in this study, molecular docking and virtual screening of FDA approved drugs, primarily of three categories: antiviral, antimalarial, and peptide, are carried out to investigate their inhibitory potential against the main protease. Virtual screening has identified 53 FDA drugs on the basis of their binding energies (< -7.0 kcal/mol), out of which the top two drugs Velpatasvir (-9.1 kcal/mol) and Glecaprevir (-9.0 kcal/mol) seem to have great promise. These drugs have a stronger affinity to the SARS-CoV-2 main protease than the crystal bound inhibitor α-ketoamide 13B (-6.7 kcal/mol) or Indinavir (-7.5 kcal/mol) that has been proposed in a recent study as one of the best drugs for SARS-CoV-2. The in-silico efficacies of the screened drugs could be instructive for further biochemical and structural investigation for repurposing. The molecular dynamics studies on the shortlisted drugs are underway.
Should We Think Positive or Negative About Dihydrobenzofuran Neolignans? an ESI-MS/MS Study
Authors: Dias Herbert , Crevelin Eduardo , Palaretti Vinicius , Vessecchi Ricardo , Crotti Antônio Eduardo
Published: May 2020

This study elucidates the gas-phase fragmentation pathways of a series of biologically active benzofuran neolignans (BNs) and dihydrobenzofuran neolignans (DBNs) by means of electrospray ionization accurate-mass tandem and sequential mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS and ESI-MSn) and thermochemical data estimated by using Computational Chemistry and the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) model. In their deprotonated forms, these compounds produced more diagnostic product ions as compared to the corresponding protonated molecules. Moreover, a series of odd-electron product ions (radical anions) were detected, which has not been reported for protonated DBNs. Direct C2H3O2• elimination from the precursor ion (deprotonated molecule) only occurred for the BNs and can help to distinguish these compounds from the DBNs. Although the product ion [M‒CH3OH]‒ emerged in the spectrum of all the DBNs analyzed here, the mechanism through which this ion originates strongly depends on specific structural features, so that further [M‒CH3OH]‒ fragmentation generates important diagnostic product ions. Comparison between the ESI-MS/MS data of these compounds in the negative ion mode (deprotonated molecule) and in the positive ion mode (protonated molecule) revealed that the negative ion mode provides much more information (at least one diagnostic product ion emerged for all the analyzed compounds) and does not require the use of additives to produce the precursor ions (deprotonated molecules).

Authors: Bachollet Sylvestre P. J. T. , Addi Cyril , Mallet Jean-Maurice , Dumat Blaise
Published: May 2020

A series of red-emitting and near-infrared fluorogenic protein probes based on push-pull molecular rotor structures was developed. After characterization of their optical properties using Bovine Serum Albumin as a model protein, they were conjugated to a halogenoalkane ligand in order to target the protein self-labeling tag HaloTag. The interaction with HaloTag was investigated in vitro and then the most promising probes were applied to live-cell imaging in wash-free conditions using fluorogenic and chemogenetic targeting of HaloTag fusion proteins.

Recursive Machine Translation
Authors: Evans Joshua
Published: May 2020

Machine translation tools such as Google Translate are at best seen as useful approximators, rather than offering any literary potential. In this experiment and short methodological reflection, I use Google Translate to recursively translate Austrian poet Georg Trakl’s celebrated WWI poem, ‘Grodek’, between German and English, until the two versions stabilise. I am attentive to places in which the poem and its renderings are simplified and/or literary value may be lost, but also places in which new or unexpected renderings emerge. This is a preliminary foray, but I propose that the method of recursive machine translation offers a new way to explore the translation of literary texts—a timely proposal, given the increasing applications of computer programmes and machine learning both within the humanities and throughout wider literary culture.

Published: May 2020

As a poetry lover, I have noticed that poetry has become more accessible nowadays than ever. With the revolution of social media, I need only a smartphone to fulfill my poetry reading desire. Platforms such as Instagram and Twitter on top of the other platforms help me to read vast range of poetic texts by multiple poets. Posting poetry on Instagram is known as ‘instapoetry’. Rupi Kaur is considered the pioneer of this literary activism, having than 3.5 million followers on Instagram. Kaur has published two books which remained on the New York Times bestselling list for more than a year. Kaur's debut book also has been translated into more than 30 languages. Interestingly, no Arabic translation has yet been made of either of her books. Therefore, I have translated some of her poems into Arabic.
Charles Rice-Davis translates Mário de Sá-Carneiro
Authors: Rice-Davis Charles
Published: May 2020

The three poems produced here, two from Portuguese, one from French, are taken from letters Sá-Carneiro wrote to Pessoa. The poem titled here, “The End,” is one of the better known poems of Portuguese modernism, though in the original letter, Sá-Carneiro gives it no title. Nor did he title the poem translated from French. The three poems touch on recurring thematic and stylistic features of his published work and private letters: ruins, fragments, the desire to inhabit the body of a woman (most famously as a plot point of A Confissão de Lúcio) and the anticipation of his own death (in Paris, for example, as imagined in the 1913 “Dispersão”). Likewise, all exhibit a signature practice of integrating wordless, dotted lines into poems, which he had done in earlier published and manuscript poems. These dotted lines have been restored, thanks to Ricardo Vasconcelos’ exhaustive, monumental edition of Sá-Carneiro’s poetry and correspondence with Pessoa. The lines are ruined, are ruins: inscrutable hieroglyphs that vex the poet’s few, but devoted, readers.
Charles Olsen translates Lilián Pallares
Authors: Olsen Charlse
Published: May 2020

Lilian Pallares is a Colombian poet and actress living in Spain where she has recently published her third collection of poems Bestial (Olifante, 2019). Together we share our passion for writing and have created the shows Agita Flamenco and Palabra Azul, poesía del agua, performing in Venice, Madrid, Barcelona, and Soria. As well as traveling to Colombia with Lilián, I have been present during the creation of many of these poems and at the moments that inspired some of them. This shared journey and the insight into her world and cultural background, as well as her being on hand to ask any questions I may have, has been a great help during the translation process. The poems in Bestial are grouped into four sections: Primitiva, Carnal, Viperina and Insurrecta (Primitive, Carnal, Fork-tongued and Insurgent) and I have selected one from each for this translation. They draw on Lilián’s Afro-Colombian roots, mixed with her life in Madrid and her experience of black culture and African dance. They gradually move from the universal to the personal and autobiographical, particularly her relationship with her late father.
Review of The Natural and the Human: Science and the Shaping of Modernity 1739-1841 [by Stephen Gaukroger]
Authors: Abou-Nemeh Catherine
Published: May 2020

This compelling and erudite book examines the emergence of the human sciences in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and explores the rise of sensibility in studies of human nature and behavior. The Natural and the Human is the third installment of Stephen Gaukroger’s massive project that investigates the ways in which scientific values were consolidated into a dominant program of inquiry and shaped notions of modernity in the West from the thirteenth century onward. (The first two volumes, The Emergence of a Scientific Culture and The Collapse of Mechanism and the Rise of Sensibility, were published by Oxford University Press in 2006 and 2010, respectively.)

Motives to Assist and Reasons to Assist: the Case of Global Poverty
Authors: Keller Simon
Published: May 2020

The principle of assistance says that the global rich should help the global poor because they are able to do so, and at little cost. The principle of contribution says that the rich should help the poor because the rich are partly to blame for the plight of the poor. this paper explores the relationship between the two principles and offers support for one version of the principle of assistance. The principle of assistance is most plausible, the paper argues, when formulated so as to identify obligations that arise from the needs of particular identifiable members of the global poor, not from impersonal rules or values. Under that formulation, the principle can explain why knowledge of the circumstances faced by individual members of the global poor can have such a marked effect upon the willingness of the global rich to provide help, and can offer a better grounded motivational basis for helping the global poor. These are real advantages, the paper argues, and ones that cannot be matched by stories that focus upon the ways in which the global rich contribute to global poverty.
Reply to Doing Indigenous Epistemology: Internal Debates About Inside Knowledge in Māori Society’, by Toon Van Meilj
Authors: Sissons Jeffrey
Published: May 2020

Van Meijl is right to insist that epistemology must be about active, socially contested ‘ways of knowing’ and that understanding the relationship between such ways and their products is as much an ethnographic problem as it is a philosophical one. Ways of knowing, as social practices, are also, more generally, ways of being or becoming and so are not, in my view, radically distinct from the ontologies they produce and reproduce. Phillipe Descola argues strongly that his four ‘ontologies’ are also schemas of practice, fundamental ways that people know, experience and inhabit the world. I think Van Meijl is mistaken, therefore, when he characterises the ontological turn in anthropology as being about different relations between mind and matter. For me, it is most significantly about the different ways that personhood or subjectivity can be understood and embodied.

Un encuentro fructífero: Los aportes de Juan Carlos Garavaglia y Jorge Gelman a la historiografía argentina, 1987-2016
Authors: Fradkin Raúl , Santilli Daniel
Published: May 2020

The year 2017 was an unfortunate one for Argentine historiography. In January, Juan Carlos Garavaglia passed away in Paris, followed in December by Jorge Gelman in Buenos Aires. Within eleven months, two of the most innovative Argentine historians faded into history. Recent developments in our historiography would be incomprehensible without their contributions, particularly in the field of agrarian studies. Their original and unique legacy, reflecting thirty years of intense work and a common research horizon, have completely changed how agrarian history is done in Argentina. In this brief essay, we attempt to outline the impact of both historians, the main lines of their work in common, and an agenda for the topics and issues they left open to future research.

Almost all parts in an organization both commercial and non-commercial must have held an event. No exception in the education, especially at the University. The number of events carried out on campus is a phenomenon that makes students who are members of organizations learn to organize it so that it can run well. Organizing events is not easy and requires a lot of energy, time and costs starting from marketing, registering, ticketing, participant validation, and distribution of certificates. The aim of this research is to analyze the ineffectiveness and inefficiencies that occur in running an event. Analysis and observations were made based on the processes that took place in the holding of events held by students at Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta. The process will be simplified by utilizing digital media so that the process of making an event becomes more effective and efficient. This research resulted in a BPR (Business Re-engineering Process) in which the marketing, registration, and ticketing processes that were originally done manually were, converted to digital with a web-based system. It is expected that from this BPR, researchers can develop an application to digitalize marketing, online event registration, ticketing, and event validation using QR Code.

Implementasi Forward Chaining dan Metode Simpleks untuk Menentukan Ransum Unggas yang Ekonomis
Authors: Mahmud Wildan
Published: May 2020

Poultry need food to maintain their lives and to produce. To meet the needs of these nutritional elements, poultry eat from various types of food. Because there is no single food ingredient that contains a complete nutritional element, so we need a variety of appropriate and balanced food ingredients to meet nutritional needs. This can be done by choosing cheap food ingredients without ignoring the quality of the nutritional content that is adjusted to the type and age of poultry. To solve the above problems, an expert system with a forward chaining method can be used to determine the nutritional needs and nutritional content of food ingredients, while linear programming with the simplex method is used to determine the combination of poultry feed-forming ingredients that meet economical poultry nutritional needs. The combination of the forward chaining method and the simplex method can accelerate the preparation of combinations of food ingredients, so that the resulting application can provide a solution in making decisions for the selection of food ingredients forming ration effectively

One of the functions of the warehouse is to store finished products. Stored products will be grouped based on the same type of material or goods, with boxes that have been marked in color or other codes in accordance with the specified classification. In the warehousing system, vertical storage helps in maximizing the use of warehouse areas. Storage of goods that are still manual with the aid of a forklift also has a high risk of damage due to work equipment accidents. The application of automation technology to the warehousing system is needed because it allows the storage and retrieval of products to run more easily and regularly than done manually. This study aims to create an automatic multilevel storage system as a solution to improve work safety and facilitate workers in storing finished products. This system is made in the form of an elevator with a rack containing 12 cells. The elevator is driven by a stepper motor to move in the direction of the X, Y, and Z axis and is controlled through an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller. Object identification is carried out by the TCS 3200 color sensor and the infrared obstacle sensor to read the height of the object. In this study,  prototype storage and lifter systems have been achieved as movers for storing boxes on shelves. The results showed success in shipping boxes according to the intended address, but there were still average error values on the x-axis motion of 0.125%, and on the z-axis of 0.11%.

Recognizing color is an ability that must be trained from an early age. But the ability to recognize color in early childhood is still low. One of the most preferred media by children is  games. Android mobile games have the advantage of providing interactive multimedia, challenges, and rewards. Finding Color games can be used to help children play actively in exploring and observing colors in the surrounding environment because they can detect colors using the camera. The stages in color detection in games are feature extraction and color classification. Color feature extraction will get the color value at the selected pixel coordinates on the screen. The color classification uses fuzzy decision tree ID3. The test results of the application of color feature extraction produce an accuracy value of 100%. The fuzzy decision tree classification is evaluated using a confusion matrix, resulting in an accuracy value in outdoor light conditions of 94.4%. There is an increase of 4.4% compared to indoor conditions.

Published: May 2020

The evolution of the digital economy requires the appropriate infrastructure for administrative management and support of “Smart City". All this makes it possible to look at the problems of the city in a new way. SMART-city is an integrated infrastructure, an environment for improving the comfortable life and work of all citizens. In urban traffic flows, there are obstacles in place where traffic flow is not organized. In these places, special solutions, management measures and safety criteria are required. Such flows and situations should be simulated. This problem is solved based on flow-intensive management criteria using situational scenarios. The efficiency of flow management on busy highways requires the consideration of critical factors. In the present work, such a task is investigated using cell machines, which showed efficiency in streaming tasks of gas dynamics. A purpose of work and its result is a decline system's complexity and dimension by means of linearization and reduction of algorithmic complexity. The field of cells is considered. If there’s an obstacle in the cell then the direction by which the obstacle affects minimally is selected (Stochastic assessment has been used). System analysis of SMART-city problems is also carried out in this work. Adaptive IT infrastructure, security, virtualization, risk and the multi-criteria decision-making in an uncertain environment has been analyzed.

Published: May 2020

Stilling basins can be defined as energy dissipaters constructed of the irrigation systems. This study aims at investigating the performance of the new seven baffle blocks design in terms of reducing the dimensions of stilling basins in irrigation systems. In order to assess the hydraulic efficiency of a new model for baffle block used in stilling basins, a Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has conducted. The results of this study demonstrate that the performance of the new baffle block, in term of hydraulic jump length reduction and hydraulic energy dissipation, it's better than standard blocks. However, the ratios of the drag resistance attributed to the new baffles block (FB / F2) have been larger than that applied on the normal block. It was found that the new block dissipates the energy by 9.31% more than the concrete block, and decreases the length of the hydraulic jump by 38.6% in comparison with the standard blocks. However, the new block maximizes the drag force ratio by 98.6% in comparison with the standard baffle blocks. The findings indicated that in terms of energy reduction and dissipation in the length of the hydraulic jump, the new block is superior to the other kinds.

This paper is intended to investigate the stress block for high strength concrete (HSC) using the finite element model (FEM) and analytical approach. New stress block parameters were proposed for HSC including the stress intensity factor (α1) and the depth factor (β1) based on basic equilibrium equations. A (3D) finite element modeling was developed for the columns made of HSC using the comprehensive code ABAQUS. The proposed stress parameters were validated against the experimental data found in the literature and FEM. Thereafter, the proposed stress block for HSC was used to generate interaction diagrams of rectangular and circular columns subjected to compression and uniaxial bending. The effects of the stress block parameters of HSC on the interaction diagrams were demonstrated. The results showed that a good agreement is obtained between the failure loads using the finite element model and the analytical approach using the proposed parameters, as well as the achievement of a close agreement with experimental observation. It is concluded that the use of proposed parameters resulted in a more conservative estimation of the failure load of columns. The effect of the stress depth factor is considered to be minor compared with the effect of the intensity factor.

Cement production uses large quantities of natural resources and contributes to the release of CO2. In order to treat the environmental effects related to cement manufacturing, there is a need to improve alternative binders to make concrete. Accordingly, extensive study is ongoing into the utilization of cement replacements, using many waste materials and industrial. This paper introduces the results of experimental investigations upon the mortar study with the partial cement replacement. Fly ash, silica fume and glass powder were used as a partial replacement, and cement was replaced by 0%, 1%, 1.5%, 3% and 5% of each replacement by the weight. Compressive strength test was conducted upon specimens at the age of 7 and 28 days. Microstructural characteristic of the modified mortar was done through the scanning electron microscope (SEM) vision, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was carried out for mixes with different replacements. The tests results were compared with the control mix. The results manifested that all replacements present the development of strength; this improvement was less in the early ages and raised at the higher ages in comparison with the control specimens. Microstructural analysis showed the formation of hydration compounds in mortar paste for each replacement. This study concluded that the strength significantly improved by adding 5% of silica fume compared with fly ash and glass powder.

With the increase in demand of flexible pavements, due to their various advantages over rigid pavements, there is a need to improve the aging properties of the bitumen in order to enhance its resistance against different types of distresses such as rutting, fatigue cracking. This research focus on the use of one polymeric additive Polyethylene (PE) and one non polymeric additive Sulphur (S) to enhance the aging resistance of asphalt. These modifiers are evaluated for their effect on the aging mechanism in comparison with the unmodified bitumen. Aging of the original and modified bitumen is realized by the Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO) and Pressure Aging Vessel (PAV). Physical properties of the aged and unaged asphalt binders are evaluated through empirical testing like penetration, ductility and softening point test. Optimum content of the modifiers is obtained by comparing the results of conventional properties before and after aging. Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) are performed to bring out the chemical and morphological changes in the modified binder. Rheological properties of modified asphalt are evaluated with the help of a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR). Results indicate improvement in physical properties of the modified asphalt even after the aging. Penetration index increased which shows less temperature susceptibility of the modified binders. Carbonyl and sulfoxide index are used as aging indicators which shows reduction in case of modified samples. Decrease in the sulfoxide and carbonyl index indicates better oxidation resistance of the modified samples. Morphological analysis proves good compatibility of the modifiers with asphalt binders. DSR results indicate improved viscoelastic properties of the modified binders. Hence it can be concluded that Polyethylene and Sulphur are good options to improve the aging resistance of asphalt in terms of their cost effectiveness and environment friendly nature.

Published: May 2020

The dry–wet cycle and high temperature exposure are important factors affecting the normal use and durability of concrete structures. The objective of this work is to investigate the mechanical properties of cement mortar specimens after combinations of dry–wet cycles and high temperature exposures, uniaxial compressive tests on cement mortar specimens were carried out under the following two sets of conditions: (1) high temperature treatment followed by a dry–wet cycle and (2) a dry–wet cycle followed by high temperature treatment. The results show that the compressive strength of specimens increases with the number of dry–wet cycles. After a dry–wet cycle and then a high temperature treatment procedure, the compressive strength of a specimen will first decrease and then increase with the number of dry–wet cycles. The strain at the peak stress of cement mortar decreases as the number of dry–wet cycles increases. At present, there are few research results about the mechanical properties of concrete first after combinations of dry–wet cycles and high temperature exposures. The work in this paper can enrich the results in this area.
