The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap
Authors: de Paor-Evans Adam 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
In the early 1980s, an important facet of hip hop culture developed a style of music known as electro-rap, much of which carries narratives linked to science fiction, fantasy and references to arcade games and comic books. The aim of this article is to build a critical inquiry into the cultural and sociopolitical presence of these ideas as drivers for the productions of electro-rap, and subsequently through artists from Newcleus to Strange U seeks to interrogate the value of science fiction from the 1980s to the 2000s, evaluating the validity of science fiction’s place in the future of hip hop. Theoretically underpinned by the emerging theories associated with Afrofuturism and Paul Virilio’s dromosphere and picnolepsy concepts, the article reconsiders time and spatial context as a palimpsest whereby the saturation of digitalisation becomes both accelerator and obstacle and proposes a thirdspace-dromology. In conclusion, the article repositions contemporary hip hop and unearths the realities of science fiction and closes by offering specific directions for both the future within and the future of hip hop culture and its potential impact on future society

Abstract
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a secreted protein that binds and escorts the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) into the lysosomal degradation pathway. Prescribed monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against PCSK9 prevent its binding to the LDLR, and result in ~60% lower LDL cholesterol (LDLc) levels. Although efficient, mAbs are expensive. Hence other PCSK9 inhibitors are needed. For screening purpose, we developed C57BL/6J mice expressing the human PCSK9 gene under the control of its own promoter, but lacking endogenous mouse PCSK9. All lines recapitulate the endogenous PCSK9 expression pattern. The Tg2 line that expresses physiological levels of human PCSK9 (hPCSK9) was selected to characterize the inhibitory properties of a previously reported single domain antibody (sdAb), PKF8-mFc, which binds the C-terminal domain of PCSK9. Upon intraveinous injection of 10 mg/kg, PKF8-mFc and the mAb evolocumab neutralized ~50% and 100% of the hPCSK9 impact on total cholesterol (TC) levels, respectively, but PKF8-mFc had a more sustained effect. PKF8-mFc barely affected hPCSK9 levels, whereas evolocumab promoted a 4-fold increase 3 days post-injection, suggesting very different inhibitory mechanisms. The present study also shows that the new transgenic mice are well suited to screen a variety of hPCSK9 inhibitors.

Abstract
This paper deals with Monte Carlo simulation and focuses on the use of the concepts of variance reduction,
relative error and bias in testing the performance of stationary M/G/1 retrial queues estimators using either Random Sampling (RS) or Refined Descriptive Sampling (RDS) to generate input samples. For this purpose, a software under Linux system
using the C compiler was designed and realized providing the performance measures of such system and the statistical concepts of bias, relative error and accuracy using both sampling methods. As a conclusion, it has been shown that the performance of stationary M/G/1 retrial queues estimators is better using RDS than RS and sometimes by a substantial variance reduction factor.

AbstractWe report a simple approach for synthesizing monodispersed, crystalline and size-tunable tin sulfide nanoparticles for environment friendly next generation solar cell applications. Both SnS and SnS2nanoparticles could be a potential nanomaterial for solar cells. The structural, morphological, thermal and optical properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The XRD spectra revealed hexagonal and orthorhombic phases of SnS and SnS2 nanoparticles, respectively, where the grains size ranged from 11 nm to 30 nm. The weight percentage as a function of temperature was determined using TGA analysis. Functional groups were observed by FT-IR. The energy bandgap was determined as 1.41 eV showing usefulness of the nanoparticles in next generation environmental friendly solar energy applications.
Social Class, Interactional Pragmatics and the Likely Lads
Authors: Ponton D. M. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Long exposed to the democraticising effects of modernity, Britain's class structure supposedly collapsed during the 1990s (Turner 2013), though against this contention there is ample evidence to suggest that its essential contours are unaltered, and that the classless society is itself a myth (Marshall et al 1988). This paper explores an earlier period, in Britain's not too distant past, when the labels, 'working class' and 'middle class' were less controversial. The BBC's sit-com 'Whatever happened to the likely lads?' (Clement and La Frenais), from the early 1970s, was one of its most successful ever, enjoying both public support and critical acclaim. The show follows the lives of Bob Ferris and Terry Collier, two working class school-friends from the north-east who, after a period of separation, find each other again as they start out in life. While Bob is aspirational, attempting to achieve his goals of social progress through work, further education and marriage, Terry pursues the same lifestyle, viewing his friend's progress in terms of class betrayal. An episode from the series will be explored using a pragmatic-dialogic approach (Kecskes 2016), to suggest that the invisible framework of class needs to be invoked in order to make sense of the dialogue
A note on the characterizations of the distributions of the condition numbers of real Gaussian matrices
Authors: Shakil M. , Ahsanullah M. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Many researchers and authors have studied the distributions of the condition numbers of real Gaussian matrices, which appear in many fields of pure and applied sciences, such as, probability, statistics, multivariate statistics, linear algebra, operator algebra theory, actuarial science, physics, wireless communications, and polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR). Motivated by this, in this paper, we first present several new distributional properties of the distributions of the condition numbers of real Gaussian matrices. Since it is important to know the percentage points of a given distribution for any statistical application, we have also computed percentiles of the said distributions of the condition numbers. Before a particular probability distribution model is applied to fit the real world data, it is necessary to confirm whether the given continuous probability distribution satisfies the underlying requirements by its characterizations. Also, the truncated distributions arise in practical statisticswhere the ability of record observations is limited to a given threshold or within a specified range. In view of these facts, some characterizations by truncated first moment are also presented. We hope that the findings of this paper will be quite useful to the researchers in various fields of pure and applied sciences as stated above.

Construction of Two-Ququart Quantum Entanglement by Using Magnetic Resonance Selective Pulse Sequences
Authors: Karakaş Mikail Doğuş , Gençten Azmi 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
A d-dimensional unit of information in quantum computing is called a qudit. For d = 4 there exist four magnetic quantum numbers of spin-3/2. These four levels can be called ququarts. Then, for the SI (S = 3/2, I = 3/2) spin system, 16 two-ququart states are obtained. In this study, first, two-ququart entangled states are constructed by using matrix representation of Hadamard and CNOT logic gates. Two-ququart entangled states are also constructed by using magnetic resonance selective pulse sequences of Hadamard and CNOT logic gates. Then, a generalised expression is obtained for the transformation of two-qudit entangled states between each other. This expression is applied for two-ququart entangled states.

Authors: Reyes Sánchez Jessica 
Published: July 2018

Este trabajo busca reflexionar cómo los espacios escolares en ciertos contextos y momentos pueden convertirse en espacios sexuados. A través de las narrativas de tres jóvenes estudiantes universitarios, se hablará de cómo los espacios educativos pueden ser sitios que se utilicen para ejercer el placer erótico. Se abordarán algunos de los códigos que se generan alrededor de dichas prácticas y las formas de apropiación del espacio. También se reflexionará cómo, pese a la existencia de la heteronorma, los encuentros sexuales en las escuelas son un fenómeno que persiste y que trasciende algénero y la orientación sexual.

Control of Growth Cone Polarity, Microtubule Accumulation, and Protrusion by UNC-6/Netrin and Its Receptors in Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Gujar Mahekta R , Sundararajan Lakshmi , Stricker Aubrie , Lundquist Erik A 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
UNC-6/Netrin has a conserved role in dorsal-ventral axon guidance, but the cellular events in the growth cone regulated by UNC-6/Netrin signaling during outgrowth are incompletely understood. Previous studies showed that, in growth cones migrating away from UNC-6/Netrin, the receptor UNC-5 regulates growth cone polarity, as observed by polarized F-actin, and limits the extent of growth cone protrusion. It is unclear how UNC-5 inhibits protrusion, and how UNC-40 acts in concert with UNC-5 to regulate polarity and protrusion. New results reported here indicate that UNC-5 normally restricts microtubule (MT) + end accumulation in the growth cone. Tubulin mutant analysis and colchicine treatment suggest that stable MTs are necessary for robust growth cone protrusion. Thus, UNC-5 might inhibit protrusion in part by restricting growth cone MT accumulation. Previous studies showed that the UNC-73/Trio Rac GEF and UNC-33/CRMP act downstream of UNC-5 in protrusion. Here, we show that UNC-33/CRMP regulates both growth cone dorsal asymmetric F-actin accumulation and MT accumulation, whereas UNC-73/Trio Rac GEF activity only affects F-actin accumulation. This suggests an MT-independent mechanism used by UNC-5 to inhibit protrusion, possibly by regulating lamellipodial and filopodial actin. Furthermore, we show that UNC-6/Netrin and the receptor UNC-40/DCC are required for excess protrusion in unc-5 mutants, but not for loss of F-actin asymmetry or MT + end accumulation, indicating that UNC-6/Netrin and UNC-40/DCC are required for protrusion downstream of, or in parallel to, F-actin asymmetry and MT + end entry. F-actin accumulation might represent a polarity mark in the growth cone where protrusion will occur, and not protrusive lamellipodial and filopodial actin per se. Our data suggest a model in which UNC-6/Netrin first polarizes the growth cone via UNC-5, and then regulates protrusion based upon this polarity (the polarity/protrusion model). UNC-6/Netrin inhibits protrusion ventrally via UNC-5, and stimulates protrusion dorsally via UNC-40, resulting in dorsally-directed migration. The polarity/protrusion model represents a novel conceptual paradigm in which to understand axon guidance and growth cone migration away from UNC-6/Netrin.
Limited Capacity or Involvement of Excision Repair, Double-Strand Breaks, or Translesion Synthesis for Psoralen Cross-Link Repair in Escherichia coli
Authors: Cole Jessica M , Acott Jedidiah D , Courcelle Charmain T , Courcelle Justin 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
DNA interstrand cross-links are complex lesions that covalently bind complementary strands of DNA and whose mechanism of repair remains poorly understood. In Escherichia coli, several gene products have been proposed to be involved in cross-link repair based on the hypersensitivity of mutants to cross-linking agents. However, cross-linking agents induce several forms of DNA damage, making it challenging to attribute mutant hypersensitivity specifically to interstrand cross-links. To address this, we compared the survival of UVA-irradiated repair mutants in the presence of 8-methoxypsoralen—which forms interstrand cross-links and monoadducts—to that of angelicin—a congener forming only monoadducts. We show that incision by nucleotide excision repair is not required for resistance to interstrand cross-links. In addition, neither RecN nor DNA polymerases II, IV, or V is required for interstrand cross-link survival, arguing against models that involve critical roles for double-strand break repair or translesion synthesis in the repair process. Finally, estimates based on Southern analysis of DNA fragments in alkali agarose gels indicate that lethality occurs in wild-type cells at doses producing as few as one to two interstrand cross-links per genome. These observations suggest that E. coli may lack an efficient repair mechanism for this form of damage.

AbstractThe present study examined the influence of the three basic psychological needs on autonomous motivation in educational settings in the light of additive, synergistic, and balance hypotheses. Participants were 679 high school students (Mage = 16.16, 49.3% girls). The findings supported the additive hypothesis: all three needs had unique effects on autonomous motivation. The synergistic hypothesis was only partially supported: one two-way interaction between autonomy and competence had effect on autonomous motivation. A high level of satisfaction of the need for autonomy led to autonomous motivation regardless of satisfaction of the need for competence. However, competence was positively related to autonomous motivation only when the need for autonomy was low. The balance hypothesis was also supported: balance in needs satisfaction had a significant effect in addition to additive and synergistic effects. Key words: educational settings; need for autonomy; need for competence; need for relatedness; self-determination theory.---SažetakU ovom je istraživanju ispitivan utjecaju triju osnovnih psiholoških potreba na autonomnu motivaciju u obrazovnom okruženju s obzirom na aditivnu, sinergističku i hipotezu ravnoteže. Sudionici u istraživanju bili su srednjoškolci, ukupno njih 679 (Mdob = 16,16; 49,3 % djevojaka). Rezultati su išli u prilog aditivnoj hipotezi: sve tri potrebe imaju jedinstven utjecaj na autonomnu motivaciju. Sinergistička hipoteza samo je dijelom potvrđena: jedna dvosmjerna interakcija između autonomije i kompetentnosti imala je utjecaj na autonomnu motivaciju. Visok stupanj zadovoljavanja potrebe za autonomijom vodi autonomnoj motivaciji bez obzira na to je li zadovoljena potreba za kompetentnošću. Međutim, kompetentnost je u pozitivnoj vezi s autonomnom motivacijom samo onda kada je potreba za autonomijom bila mala. Hipoteza ravnoteže je također potvrđena: ravnoteža zadovoljavanja potreba, uz aditivan i sinergistički, ima također važan utjecaj.Ključne riječi: obrazovno okruženje; potreba za autonomijom; potreba za kompetentnošću; potreba za povezivanjem; teorija samoodređenja.
