Universal Chern number statistics in random matrix fields
Authors: Swartzberg Or , Wilkinson Michael , Gat Omri
Published: July 2023

We investigate the probability distribution of Chern numbers (quantum Hall conductance integers) for a parametric version of the GUE random matrix ensemble, which is a model for a chaotic or disordered system. The numerically-calculated single-band Chern number statistics agree well with predictions based on an earlier study [O. Gat and M. Wilkinson, SciPost Phys., 10, 149, (2021)] of the statistics of the quantum adiabatic curvature, when the parametric correlation length is small. However, contrary to an earlier conjecture, we find that the gap Chern numbers are correlated, and that the correlation is weak but slowly-decaying. Also, the statistics of weighted sums of Chern numbers differs markedly from predictions based upon the hypothesis that gap Chern numbers are uncorrelated. All our results are consistent with the universality hypothesis described in the earlier paper, including in the previously unstudied regime of large correlation length, where the Chern statistics is highly non-Gaussian.
Higher-form subsystem symmetry breaking: Subdimensional criticality and fracton phase transitions
Authors: Rayhaun Brandon , Williamson Dominic
Published: July 2023

Subsystem symmetry has emerged as a powerful organizing principle for unconventional quantum phases of matter, most prominently fracton topological orders. Here, we focus on a special subclass of such symmetries, known as higher-form subsystem symmetries, which allow us to adapt tools from the study of conventional topological phases to the fracton setting. We demonstrate that certain transitions out of familiar fracton phases, including the X-cube model, can be understood in terms of the spontaneous breaking of higher-form subsystem symmetries. We find simple pictures for these seemingly complicated fracton topological phase transitions by relating them in an exact manner, via gauging, to spontaneous higher-form subsystem symmetry breaking phase transitions of decoupled stacks of lower-dimensional models. We harness this perspective to construct a sequence of unconventional subdimensional critical points in two and three spatial dimensions based on the stacking and gauging of canonical models with higher-form symmetry. Through numerous examples, we illustrate the ubiquity of coupled layer constructions in theories with higher-form subsystem symmetries.

Chlorination disinfection in water treatments may be highly destructive to microplastics (MPs). Herein, low- and high-dose (concentration–time values at 75 and 9,600 mg min L−1, respectively) chlorination processes were used to simulate short-term chlorination in drinking water treatment plants and long-term residual chlorine reaction in drinking water supply systems, respectively. Both chlorination processes induced modifications to polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) MPs, varying in polymer types and sizes. Oxidized and chlorinated bonds were detected, and destructed surfaces with increased specific surface area and reduced hydrophobicity were observed. As a result, the sorption capacity of all MPs was weakened, e.g., low-dose chlorination (pH 7) depressed the sorption of ciprofloxacin by 6.5 μm PE (Kf from 0.140 to 0.128 L g−1). The sinking behavior of PET, PS, and PVC MPs was enhanced, e.g., the sinking ratio of 200 μm PET increased by ∼30% after low-dose chlorination (pH 7). By contrast, PE tended to float after high-dose chlorination. Furthermore, chlorination of MPs generated various products, which were the degraded fragments from the MP skeleton. In general, chlorination disinfection reduces the potential of MPs as transport vectors of organic contaminants.
Simulation of groundwater dynamic conditions in the Baiquan spring region under optimal groundwater resource allocation
Authors: Yan Kaidi , Liu Demin
Published: July 2023

Xingtai, once been famous city for its spring groups in history, has become one of the regions in the country where water resources are in high demand due to long-term over-exploitation in groundwater resource. In the region where the springs in the area have dried up and been cutting-off over the years, including Baiquan and Dahuo. In order to allocate the amount of water diverted from the Middle Section of South-North Water Diversion Project reasonably, to effectively make the springs re-rushing and restore the groundwater level, this research established a numerical groundwater model based on the hydrogeological conditions of the study area. The calculate model is used to discuss the hydrodynamical patterns changes and predict the flowrate of spring groups under different allocation of supplement diversion schemes quantifiably. It was found that the scheme of using the amount of river diversion to rehabilitate the Xingtai urban funnel was most conducive to the recovery of groundwater levels in the spring groups, which is due to the reduction in groundwater extraction has reduced the influence range of the urban funnel and improved the hydrodynamic conditions in the northern preferential runoff zone. The results have demonstrated the feasibility of re-rushing the spring groups.
Effect of ω-9MUFAs in Fat Emulsion on Serum Interleukin-6 in Rats with
Lipopolysaccharide-induced Lung Injury
Authors: Qianqian Zheng , Gui Mei , Min Yang , Qingfeng Zhang , Xiufen Xu , Zejun Fang , Yahong Li , Mingwei Ye
Published: July 2023

Aim:

This study aimed to investigate how ω-9 MUFAs in fat emulsion affect serum IL-
6 levels in rats with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung injury.

Background:

Research suggests that acute lung injury (ALI) develops acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS) due to the activation of many inflammatory factors. ALI may be treated by reducing
inflammation. Fat emulsion is used in parenteral nutrition for critically ill patients to regulate
the body's inflammatory response. It is mostly made up of ω-9 MUFAs (Clinoleic), which can
regulate the inflammatory response.

Objective:

The effect of ω-9MUFAs on the secretion of IL-6 in ALI rats was studied in order to
provide a basis for the rational use of fat emulsion in clinical practice and provide new ideas for the
diagnosis and treatment of ALI.

Methods:

The control, model, and -9MUFAs groups consisted of 18 female Sprageue-Dawley
(SD) young rats (180 ± 20 g). The SD young rats received normal saline and were not operated.
LPS-induced ALI animals received tail vein injections of normal saline. SD young rats were first
triggered with acute lung injury by LPS (3 mg/kg) and then injected with 3 mg/kg of ω-9MUFAs
via the tail vein. The expression levels of IL-6, an activator of signal transduction transcription 3
(STAT3), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and glycoprotein 130 (GP130) in serum and lung
tissues were determined by ELISA and Western blot methods.

Results:

Compared with the model group, the survival rate of rats in the ω-9 MUFAs group was
significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). Compared with the
model group, the lung pathology of rats in the ω-9 MUFAs group was significantly improved, and
the expression levels of IL-6, TGF-β1, GP130, IL-1 and other proteins were significantly
decreased. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05).

Conclusion:

In LPS-induced lung injury, ω-9MUFAs may alleviate symptoms by inhibiting the
IL-6/GP130/STAT3 pathway.

Published: July 2023

Background:

With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, people have become increasingly
concerned about their physical health. Therefore, the ability to monitor changes in the surrounding
environment in real-time and automatically improve the environment has become a current hot topic
to improve the overall health level.

Objective:

This article describes the design of a high-performance intelligent home system that can
simultaneously perform monitoring and automatic adjustment functions.

Methods:

The ESP8266 was used as the core controller, and the DHT11 and G12-04 sensors were
used to collect data, such as temperature, humidity, and ambient light intensity. The sampling frequency
was increased and the sampled data were processed to improve data accuracy. The sampled
data were wirelessly transmitted to a PC or mobile terminal for real-time display. When the sampled
data underwent sudden changes, an alert message was sent via the mobile terminal. Based on
the real-time changes in ambient light, an improved lighting brightness adjustment algorithm combining
bang-bang and single neuron adaptive PID control was used to adjust the lighting brightness.

Results:

After testing the system designed in this paper and analyzing the errors compared to
standard values, the temperature measurement error ranged from 0% to 0.01107%, and the humidity
measurement error ranged from 0% to 0.03797%. The improved algorithm was simulated and
tested using MATLAB software and compared with traditional PID algorithms and single-neuron
adaptive PID algorithms. The improved algorithm did not overshoot during adjustment, and the
system reached a steady state much faster than traditional algorithms.

Conclusion:

The system showed good performance in real-time, stability, and accuracy, fully
demonstrating the effectiveness of the devices and algorithms used in the system. This provides
ideas for the design and improvement of future smart homes.

In this work, we propose a study of the mean annual rainfall time series in order to evaluate the climate changes pattern over time. If the analysis of this time series is carried out correctly, it can contribute to improve planning and policy development. That is why we consider the problem of mathematical modeling and analysis of the mean annual rainfall of Morocco between 1901 and 2020 using descriptive statistics, structure changes analysis, spectral analysis and a nonlinear Exponential Autoregressive (EXPAR) processes to reproduce the behavior of this time series. The results indicate three main breakpoints and show that the time series has a remarkable cycles about 60, 18 and 6 years with a global decrease tendency about 0.56 mm per year. Furthermore, we have justified the choice of using a non-linear EXPAR processes rather than a linear traditional one and provided a good fitted EXPAR model.

Many estimation methods have been proposed for the parameters of the regression models with serially correlated errors. In this work, we develop an asymptotic theory for estimation in the short panel data models with bilinear error. We propose a comparative study by simulation between several estimators (adaptive, ordinary and weighted least squares) for the coefficients of panel data models when the errors are bilinear serially correlated. As a consequence of the uniform local asymptotic normality property, we obtain adaptive estimates of the parameters. Finally, we illustrate the performance of the proposed estimators via Monte Carlo simulation study. We show that the adaptive estimates are more efficient than the weighted and ordinary least squares estimates.

Currently, feature screening is becoming an important topic in the fields of machine learning and high-dimensional data analysis. Filtering out irrelevant features from a set of variables is considered to be an important preliminary step that should be performed before any data analysis. Many approaches have been proposed to the same topic after the work of Fan and Lv (J. Royal Stat. Soc., Ser. B. 70 (5), 849–911 (2008)), who introduced the sure screening property. However, the performance of these methods differs from one paper to another. In this work, we aim to add to this list a new algorithm performing feature screening inspired by the Kendall interaction filter (J. Appl. Stat. 50 (7), 1496–1514 (2020)) when the response variable is continuous. The good behavior of our algorithm is proved through a comparison with an existing method, proposed in this work under several simulation scenarios.
Study on Installation of the Vertical Axis Wind Turbines on the Upper Floors of High-Rise Buildings
Authors: Shixiao Wu , Sheina S. G.
Published: July 2023

Introduction. Nowadays the sector of high-rise and super high-rise buildings construction is rapidly developing. The deficiency of non-renewable energy sources and the deterioration of the environment are two major problems faced by every country. Therefore, the wind power engineering is intensely developing and is able not only to stop the rapid deterioration of environmental situation but also to improve accessibility of energy supply and considerably reduce the deficit of energy. It is rational to use the wind power to source the clean renewable energy for the high-rise buildings by installing the vertical axis wind turbines on the upper floors of the buildings. The aim of the work is to confirm that the vertical axis wind turbines are the best appropriate for installation on the upper floors of high-rise buildings in the cities due to unique advantages thereof (simple design, easy maintenance, adaptability to complicated and changeable wind environment, long operation life), which ensure the supply of the cities with the safe and clean green energy.Materials and Methods. A small-size vertical axis wind turbine was taken for the study. The operation efficiency of various wind turbines was measured by changing the wind strength and direction under the same environmental conditions to determine whether a vertical axis wind turbine could operate safely, sustainably and efficiently in the complicated and changing wind environment of the city. Alongside it was proved that for ensuring the supply of the cities with the safe and clean energy the installation of the vertical axis wind turbines on the upper floors of high-rise buildings is more appropriate compared to the installation of horizontal ones.Results. By changing the wind strength and direction, it was found that the vertical axis wind turbines have good and stable operation efficiency and can provide a constant source of clean energy for urban development in a safer and more stable way.Discussion and Conclusions. The vertical axis wind turbines are ideally adapted to the complicated and changing wind conditions of the upper floors of high-rise buildings and can be safely and efficiently operated, making positive contribution to reducing the energy load and improving the state of environment.

Authors: Pobegaylov O. А. , Al-Masri A.A. R.A. , Talalaev A. D.
Published: July 2023

Introduction. Today, the construction enterprises face the problem of improving quality of a completed object of construction while reducing the cost of its production. This question is raised by Russian and foreign scientists studying the issue of organisational and technological reliability in construction. The analysis of the theoretical background of this topic clearly shows a quite positive situation. However, the organisational and technological reliability is intended not for theoretical research, but for practical application. If in the past the organisational and technological reliability was understood as the compliance of a facility with the technical standards and norms, this is not longer the point because many of the norms got outdated. Accordingly, it is necessary to include the state bodies in the process of creation the new and constant updating of the existing regulatory and technical data base in the field of organisational and technological reliability. Time losses in construction still reach up to 30% of the total period of construction. The objective of the present study is to investigate the currently available methods of enhancing the organisational and technological reliability in construction and to make suggestions on its improvement aimed at reducing the construction timeline.Materials and Methods. The current methods of determining the organisational and technological reliability are presented. A brief description of the main methods is provided. The method proposed by the authors to the enterprises for application in construction of the residential houses is described in more detail. The method consists in the implementation and use of the enterprise quality management system.Results. The main goal for such enterprises has been defined and recommendations on implementation of the “top-down” system have been provided. The quality management system model has been supplemented and plotted. A cyclical flow has been proposed, where a consumer looking to satisfy his needs, turns again to the same manufacturer whenever he has a new need for this product, and the manufacturer, in turn, constantly improves its quality management system.Discussion and Conclusions. The quality management system model worked out in the course of the present research should help the enterprises to improve the organisational and technological reliability of their products by focusing on the consumer and to gain a larger share in the market.
Fundamentals of Ensuring the Environmental Safety of Building Materials at all Stages of their Life Cycle
Authors: Lysova E. P. , Kotlyarova E. V.
Published: July 2023

Introduction. Environmental safety assessment for selecting the optimal technology of building materials manufacture is quite relevant. The necessity of environmental assessment (environmental safety assessment) of each life cycle stage of any building material (from the purchase of raw materials or the manufacture of products out of natural resources to the disposal of products) has been distinguished as a scientific problem for the present research, alongside, the authors have supplemented the schematic diagram of a building material life cycle with the transportation stage (of raw materials, finished products). The object of the study is a notional building material, and the purpose of the study is assessment of the stress imposed on the environment components by each life cycle stage of a notional building material. This work should foster implementation of more environmentally safe technology of building materials manufacture.Materials and Methods. The authors examined the interrelation between the properties of materials and the quality of the environment using the methods of comparative and system analysis, the graph method and the qualimetric method. Results. As a result of the conducted research, the potential impacts of a notional building material on the environment at all life cycle stages have been analysed — from purchase of raw materials, manufacture and use of products till their processing at the end of service life, recycling and final disposal (the cycle “from cradle to grave”). The authors proposed to take into account the stages of transportation of raw materials and finished products within the building materials life cycle to make a more accurate assessment of their impact on the environment. This approach allows taking into account the entire life cycle and applying the data to solving the environmental problems, such as reducing the amount of emissions, discharges and wastes, thus, fostering saving the resources.Discussion and Conclusions. The environmental assessment of a building material life cycle, should, first of all, take into account the share of its negative impact in the aggravation of the global environmental problems, including global warming, ozone destruction in the stratospheric layer of the atmosphere, formation of ozone in the tropospheric layer, oxidation of water resources and soils, eutrophication of water bodies, depletion of non-renewable energy sources (oil, gas, coal). The carried out analysis allows the authors to conclude that significant differences in the degree of negative impact of the notional building materials on the environment components are observed at the stage of their manufacture.

"Vibrations generated by road traffic are considered to be a form of physical environmental pollution. Nonetheless, the effect of this disturbance in natural habitats, and in particular on the aquatic stage of amphibians, received very little attention from the scientific community. This study aims to assess the direct effect of mechanical waves and the consequent water turbidity on the aquatic larval stage of Rana temporaria by exposing an experimental group to laboratory-induced vibrations and comparison with a non-exposed control group. Our results show that this kind of pollution had no significant effect on the development rate, the length of the larval period, and the mortality of the larvae. However, we identified a significant effect on the size of animals, both during the larval period, and at metamorphosis. This result raises concern about the long-term risks to the amphibian population exposed to this type of low-profile pollution.

Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVE

To determine the presentation, diagnosis, progression, and family risk of fibrotic myopathy, a disease with marked breed predisposition in the German Shepherd Dog (GSD).

ANIMALS

41 dogs prospectively recruited to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Comparative Genetics and Orthopedic Laboratory between November 2019 to August 2022.

METHODS

Medical records of dogs diagnosed with fibrotic myopathy were reviewed upon referral. The following data were recorded: sex, age, weight, regio interscapularis (withers) height, date of neutering, coat color and length, and age at fibrotic myopathy diagnosis. A pedigree was also obtained.

RESULTS

In the study population, breeds included 37 GSDs, a Belgian Malinois, a Belgian Malinois cross, and 2 dogs with a GSD phenotype and no pedigree. Mean age at fibrotic myopathy diagnosis was 5.9 ± 2.0 years, and duration of lameness before diagnosis was 5.6 months and ranged from 0.75 to 18 months. Males were overrepresented at 61% of the study population. Inherited familial risk for fibrotic myopathy in the GSD was supported by pedigree analysis.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

This was the largest case series of fibrotic myopathy to date, providing a more comprehensive look at presentation and progression of the disease. The longer duration of lameness in bilaterally affected dogs likely represents disease progression rather than a more severe phenotype. Family history data support a genetic contribution to fibrotic myopathy, suggesting that further genetic investigation is warranted.

Devido ao constante processo de evolução da humanidade é visto a cada dia a crescente
substituição da mão de obra em linhas de produção por máquinas automatizadas, todavia o
trabalho humano ainda é fundamental em grande parte das indústrias dos países em
desenvolvimento, contando, muitas vezes, com postos de trabalhos não adequados para a
atividade influenciando nos indicadores de produção e na qualidade de vida do operador. Com
estudos de análise de confiabilidade humana, os operadores dispõem de uma adaptação segura
ao sistema uma vez que este detecta variabilidades dentro do processo que estão fora do controle
a fim de preveni-las. Com isto, o artigo tem como principal objetivo analisar e compreender os
fatores externos e internos que influenciam no comportamento humano de operadores da sub
montagem em uma linha de produção no setor de duas rodas do PIM, além de propor meios que
possam aumentar a produtividade na realização das atividades concernentes. Com o estudo,
pode-se assegurar que as causas de falhas cometidas pelos colaboradores sofrem bastante
influência do meio e métodos utilizados na preparação das peças. Com a adequação foi possível
perceber uma melhora bastante significativa na redução das paradas não programadas da linha
em estudo e também de fatores ergonômicos relevantes já que este de uma certa forma contribui

Conjugation II verbs: the diachronic and comparative aspects
Authors: Albrekht F. B.
Published: July 2023

The article proposes an approach to defining verbal conjugations which is based, in my opinion, on the essential features of this grammatical phenomenon. These include diachrony, the concept of two stems of the verb, and the material of foreign Slavic languages. Of all verbal lexemes, only verbs with the non-root thematic vowels -i-, -eand -а-(-ya-) before -t’ undergoing syncope in the stem of the present (future simple) tense but only in one class with each final belong to the second conjugation. From the diachronic perspective, all these verbs originated from the Proto- Slavic thematic *-ī stem verbs. I consider the verbs shave (brit’), endure (terpet’), twirl (vertet’), offend (obidet’), depend (zaviset’), hate (nenavidet’), see (videt’), look (smotret’), hear (slyshat’), breathe (dyshat’), hold (derzhat’) not as exceptions, but as ordinary verbs belonging to corresponding classes with unstressed vowel endings verified by stress. Each verb class of conjugation II has systemic correspondences in foreign Slavic languages. The study relies on comparative-typological, structural, and diachronic analysis.

Дальний Восток и, в частности, Приморский край, является уникальным по потенциальным возможностям производства лекарственного сырья. Сохранение генофонда дальневосточных видов лекарственных растений, введение их в культуру и размножение до промышленных масштабов является актуальной задачей. В течение 2020 – 2022 гг. в коллекционном питомнике в условиях Приморского края изучено более 100 образцов многолетних лекарственных растений. Представлены результаты наблюдений за образцами, прошедшими трехлетние испытания. Приведены основные хозяйственно полезные признаки видов (выход сухого лекарственного сырья, семенная продуктивность, зимостойкость), дана оценка перспективным образцам. По комплексу хозяйственно полезных признаков перспективными являются: лофант тибетский, пустырник пятилопастный, шалфей лекарственный, иссоп лекарственный, зверобой продырявленный, медуница лекарственная и воробейник лекарственный. Выделившиеся виды можно рекомендовать для дальнейшего интродукционного изучения. В качестве кормовых растений интерес представляют сильфия пронзенолистная, люцерна синяя; для декоративных целей — рудбекия волосистая, ромашка долматская, эхинацея пурпурная и др.
Category Shift in Novel After You by Jojo Moyes
Authors: Riandini  , Hilman Evert H
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to analyze the types of category shifts that can be found in this novel and translated novel. In this study, the translator uses category shifts for several sentences, words, clauses, and phrases, as evidenced by the 100 data the researcher collected. It has been proven that 35 data use the Category Shift technique, and 15 use the Class Shift technique. Furthermore, 25 data using the unit shift technique and 25 data using an intra-system shift in this study also analyzed whether shifting in translation would affect the quality of the translation. The quality of the translation was measured using parameters from Nababan and the obtained results. The use of shifting techniques on the quality of translation, as measured through Nababan's theory, produces an average score on aspects of accurate 3, aspects of accelerable 3, and readable 3.
Experimental Investigation of Methyl Methacrylate in Stirred Batch Emulsion Reactor: AGET ATRP Approach
Authors: Awad Mohammed , Duever Thomas , Dhib Ramdhane
Published: July 2023

This study examines the ab initio emulsion atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiated by an eco-friendly reducing agent to produce poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer with controlled characteristics in a 2 L stirred batch reactor. The effect of the reaction temperature, surfactant concentration, monomer to water ratio, and stirring speed was thoroughly investigated. The results showed that PMMA coagulation becomes quite severe at a certain temperature threshold. However, the coagulation could be avoided at mild reaction temperature, since the outcomes showed that loading more surfactant to the system under high mixing speed has balanced the polymer mixture and yielded high monomer conversion. The PMMA product was analyzed by gravimetry and GPC measurements and after 5 h of polymerization at a reaction temperature of 50 degrees C, monomer conversion of 64.1% was obtained, and PMMA polymer samples produced had an average molar mass of 4.5 kg/mol and a polydispersity index of 1.17. The structure of the PMMA polymer was successfully proved by FTIR and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The results confirm the living feature of MMA AGET ATRP in emulsion medium and recommend further investigation for other types of surfactant.

 
A Review and Framework for Thinking about the Drivers of Prosocial Consumer Behavior
Authors: White Katherine , Habib Rishad , Dahl Darren W.
Published: July 2023

In recent years, the topic of prosocial consumer behavior has garnered more and more attention from consumer researchers, resulting in a steady increase in published journal articles on the subject—from 186 articles in 2000 to 1,763 articles in 2018. Drawing on this momentum, this special issue of the Journal of the Association for Consumer Research on “The Prosocial Consumer” highlights different perspectives on the causes, motivations, and consequences of prosocial consumer behaviors. We conceptualize prosocial consumer behavior broadly and view it as encompassing any consumer behavior that leads to some cost to the self in order to achieve some benefit for others (Small and Cryder 2016). As such, prosocial consumer behavior could refer to an action that involves helping or benefitting a specific person or persons but could also reflect more general behaviors that benefit wider society. Prosocial consumer behaviors can include (but are not limited to) charitable giving and other donation behaviors (such as blood donation, organ donation, etc.), volunteering, altruistic consumer behaviors, ethical purchasing, cause-related engagement, and consumer advocacy or activism.
Australia's Economic Response to the Global Financial Crisis and Its Housing Markets
Authors: Tirtiroglu Dogan
Published: July 2023

This chapter presents a summary of the Australian banking and real-estate markets. It further discusses the policy developments used to fight off the adverse expected consequences of the global financial crisis (GFC). The chapter concludes with a review of the current state of both the markets. Essentially, there is a consensus that Australia's response to the GFC has been a success story so far. As for housing, the policymakers have implemented policies as part of a massive fiscal response package to the GFC, which has aimed to sustain high property values in Australia. Therefore, relatively low mortgage rates have allowed all potential home-owners to maintain a healthy appetite for purchasing houses. In addition, Australian banks have been sourcing their financing needs mainly from the international markets for some time now. Inflationary pressures are a likely outcome of the massive budget deficits around the world, once the world economies pull themselves out of the GFC. Further, the Australian economy has its own homemade concerns for inflation. Thus, increasing borrowing costs, both domestically and internationally, for Australian banks and, consequently, for all Australian mortgage borrowers with a VRM contract, are not unlikely in the near future.

We have previously demonstrated that deletion of an intracellular leucine aminopeptidase results in attenuated virulence of S. aureus. Herein we explore the role of 10 other aminopeptidases in S. aureus pathogenesis. Using a human blood survival assay we identified mutations in two enzymes from the M20B family (PepT1 and PepT2) as having markedly decreased survival compared to the parent. We further reveal that pepT1, pepT2 and pepT1/2 mutant strains are impaired in their ability to resist phagocytosis by, and engender survival within, human macrophages. Using a co-infection model of murine sepsis, we demonstrate impairment of dissemination and survival for both single mutants that is even more pronounced in the double mutant. We show that these enzymes are localized to the cytosol and membrane but are not necessary for peptide-based nutrition, a hallmark of cell-associated aminopeptidases. Furthermore, none of the survival defects appear to be the result of altered virulence factor production. An exploration of their regulation reveals that both are controlled by known regulators of the S. aureus virulence process, including Agr, Rot and/or SarA, and that this cascade may be mediated by FarR. Structural modeling of PepT1 reveals it bears all the hallmarks of a tripeptidase, whilst PepT2 differs significantly in its catalytic pocket, suggesting a broader substrate preference. In sum, we have identified two M20B aminopeptidases that are integral to S. aureus pathogenesis. The future identification of protein and/or peptide targets for these proteases will be critical to understanding their important virulence impacting functions.
Collaborative music-making: special educational needs school assistants as facilitators in performances with accessible digital musical instruments

Published: July 2023

The field of research dedicated to Accessible Digital Musical Instruments (ADMIs) is growing and there is an increased interest in promoting diversity and inclusion in music-making. We have designed a novel system built into previously tested ADMIs that aims at involving assistants, students with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD), and a professional musician in playing music together. In this study the system is evaluated in a workshop setting using quantitative as well as qualitative methods. One of the main findings was that the sounds from the ADMIs added to the musical context without making errors that impacted the music negatively even when the assistants mentioned experiencing a split between attending to different tasks, and a feeling of insecurity toward their musical contribution. We discuss the results in terms of how we perceive them as drivers or barriers toward reaching our overarching goal of organizing a joint concert that brings together students from the SEN school with students from a music school with a specific focus on traditional orchestral instruments. Our study highlights how a system of networked and synchronized ADMIs could be conceptualized to include assistants more actively in collaborative music-making, as well as design considerations that support them as facilitators.
