description: The advertising business has long been criticized by trade publications and industry professionals for its continued lack of racial and ethnic minorities, relative to the U.S. population. Though members of the industry have taken some action to diversify advertising, the industry and academic researchers have neglected to investigate the possible differences between minorities, namely African Americans, and Caucasians in their preferences for employment within the advertising field. An understanding of these differences could help advertising companies better match the expectations of minority employees, increasing the chances of retention. Through the use of focus group interviews and a survey, this study was designed to gain a better understanding of these possible differences. The study results indicate a major concern of African Americans on issues relating to race (i.e. diversity in the agency, diversity of management, being able to express themselves culturally). Additionally, earning a high income and a clear path to management positions were much more important to African Americans than Caucasians. Last, significant differences existed between African Americans and Caucasians in their preferences for both type of company and discipline of choice. These results are discussed and areas of future research are recommended to expand the knowledge on this topic

description: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has rapidly extended globally and killed approximately 5.83 million people all over the world. But, to date, no effective therapeutic against the disease has been developed. The disease is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and enters the host cell through the spike glycoprotein (S protein) of the virus. Subsequently, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and main protease (Mpro) of the virus mediate viral transcription and replication. Mechanistically inhibition of these proteins can hinder the transcription as well as replication of the virus. Recently oxysterols and its derivative, such as 25 (S)-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) has shown antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. But the exact mechanisms and their impact on RdRp and Mpro have not been explored yet. Therefore, the study aimed to identify the inhibitory activity of 25-HC against the viral enzymes RdRp and Mpro simultaneously. Initially, a molecular docking simulation was carried out to evaluate the binding activity of the compound against the two proteins. The pharmacokinetics (PK) and toxicity parameters were analyzed to observe the ‘drug-likeness’ properties of the compound. Additionally, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to confirm the binding stability of the compound to the targeted protein. Furthermore, molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) was used to predict the binding free energies of the compound to the targeted protein. Molecular docking simulation identified low glide energy −51.0 kcal/mol and −35.0 kcal/mol score against the RdRp and Mpro, respectively, where MD simulation found good binding stability of the compound to the targeted proteins. In addition, the MM/GBSA approach identified a good value of binding free energies (ΔG bind) of the compound to the targeted proteins. Therefore, the study concludes that the compound 25-HC could be developed as a treatment and/or prevention option for SARS-CoV-2 disease-related complications. Although, experimental validation is suggested for further evaluation of the work. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
Interaction of Josephson junction and distant vortex in narrow thin-film superconducting strips

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: The phase difference between the banks of an edge-type planar Josephson junction crossing the narrow thin-film strip depends on wether or not vortices are present in the junction banks. For a vortex close to the junction this effect has been seen by Golod, Rydh, and Krasnov, \prl {\bf 104}, 227003 (2010), who showed that the vortex may turn the junction into $π$-type. It is shown here that even if the vortex is far away from the junction, it still changes the 0-junction to $π$-junction when situated close to the strip edges. Within the approximation used, the latter effect is independent of the vortex-junction separation, a manifestation of topology of the vortex phase which extends to macroscopic distances of superconducting coherence.

description: Synthesis of a series of new urea and thiourea derivatives of 2-pyridyl piperazine was accomplished by reacting various isocyanates and isothiocyanates in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) at 50 °C. All the title compounds were obtained in high yields and their structures were characterized by IR, 1H, 13C NMR, Mass spectral, and Elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro and in silico antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. All the title compounds exhibited potent antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Out of all, 2c and 2f against DPPH, H2O2 and Nitro oxide have exhibited significant activity and the levels of activity were higher than the reference compounds, ascorbic acid and BHT. Whereas 2a, 2c, 2f and 2j have shown prominent activity in terms of zone of inhibition against all the microbial strains tested than the standards such as levofloxacin and nystatin. In addition in silico studies also conveyed the same that is 2a, 2c, 2f and 2j have displayed the highest binding energies against peroxiredoxins and DNA gyrase protein than the standards akin to the rest of the compounds. In overall, 2c and 2f have exhibited most promising antioxidant and antimicrobial activity than the rest of the title compounds in vitro and in silico. Hence, 2c and 2f will stand as a lead and promising antioxidant and antimicrobial drug candidates in future. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Causal discovery methods are intrinsically constrained by the set of assumptions needed to ensure structure identifiability. Moreover additional restrictions are often imposed in order to simplify the inference task: this is the case for the Gaussian noise assumption on additive non-linear models, which is common to many causal discovery approaches. In this paper we show the shortcomings of inference under this hypothesis, analyzing the risk of edge inversion under violation of Gaussianity of the noise terms. Then, we propose a novel method for inferring the topological ordering of the variables in the causal graph, from data generated according to an additive non-linear model with a generic noise distribution. This leads to NoGAM (Not only Gaussian Additive noise Models), a causal discovery algorithm with a minimal set of assumptions and state of the art performance, experimentally benchmarked on synthetic data.

description: Estimates for the lifetime of collision complexes formed during ultracold molecular collisions based on density-of-states arguments are shown to be consistent with similar estimate based on classical trajectory calculations. In the classical version, these collisions are shown to exhibit chaos, and their fractal dimensions are calculated versus collision energy. From these results, a picture emerges that ultracold collisions are classically ergodic, justifying the density-of-states estimates for lifetimes. These results point the way toward using the techniques of classical and quantum chaos to interpret molecular collisions in the ultracold regime.

description: Microorganisms in human gastrointestinal tract have profound influence on the transformation of food into metabolites which can impact human health. Along with playing crucial roles in regulating and modulating various metabolic reactions and life processes, dysbiosis of gut microbiota also affects the permeability of gut and blood-brain barrier. This increases the chance of age-related neurological disorders’ like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Withania somnifera (W. somnifera) has been proclaimed as a virtuous plant for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and many other problems. We have studied the bioactive components of W. somnifera for combined treatment of gut-dysbiosis led bowel diseases (Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and the most common neurodegenerative diseases through common potential targets. This approach can solve along with curing the neurodegenerative diseases, the factors causing these diseases would also be obstructed from entering the brain, consonantly curing Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Our work on GPCR receptors common to gut inflammatory diseases and neuronal disorders through Network Pharmacology, Molecular docking and Dynamic Simulation approach has shown that modulation of these receptors with bioactive compounds present in W. somnifera can result in effective control of these diseases. We have found five proteins (HTR1A, HTR1B, HTR2A, HTR2B & HTR7) and five best lead compounds (Withanolide A, B, E, Q & Anahygrine) against these targets after molecular docking analysis. Our simulation studies have finally shown that amongst these five HTR1A and HTR7 proteins are the best targets with the leads Withanolide E and Withanolide A against them, respectively.

The structures of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-[3-(4-methylsulfonyloxy)-benzylidenamino]-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (4a-h) were determined through a range of spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis). In addition, enzyme inhibitory properties of the newly synthesized Schiff bases were determined against acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Their Ki values were calculated in the range of 0.70 ± 0.07–8.65 ± 5.6 µM. Besides, their IC50 values were calculated in the range of 0.43–3.87 µM. Finally, in silico molecular docking interactions of the compounds with AChE target enzyme (PDB ID:4EY7) were evaluated using Chimera and AutoDock Vina softwares. The lowest binding energy levels (-12.0 kcal/mol) of the compounds 4e and 4g with AChE target enzyme were verified the best binding affinities and molecular interactions. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

description: Standard economic theory makes an allowance for the agency problem, but not the compounding of moral hazard in the presence of informational opacity, particularly in what concerns high-impact events in fat tailed domains (under slow convergence for the law of large numbers). Nor did it look at exposure as a filter that removes nefarious risk takers from the system so they stop harming others. \textcolor{red}{ (In the language of probability, skin in the game creates an absorbing state for the agent, not just the principal)}. But the ancients did; so did many aspects of moral philosophy. We propose a global and morally mandatory heuristic that anyone involved in an action which can possibly generate harm for others, even probabilistically, should be required to be exposed to some damage, regardless of context. While perhaps not sufficient, the heuristic is certainly necessary hence mandatory. It is supposed to counter voluntary and involuntary risk hiding$-$ and risk transfer $-$ in the tails. We link the rule to various philosophical approaches to ethics and moral luck.

description: The latest developments in 3D capturing, processing, and rendering provide means to unlock novel 3D application pathways. The main elements of an integrated platform, which target tele-immersion and future 3D applications, are described in this paper, addressing the tasks of real-time capturing, robust 3D human shape/appearance reconstruction, and skeleton-based motion tracking. More specifically, initially, the details of a multiple RGB-depth (RGB-D) capturing system are given, along with a novel sensors' calibration method. A robust, fast reconstruction method from multiple RGB-D streams is then proposed, based on an enhanced variation of the volumetric Fourier transform-based method, parallelized on the Graphics Processing Unit, and accompanied with an appropriate texture-mapping algorithm. On top of that, given the lack of relevant objective evaluation methods, a novel framework is proposed for the quantitative evaluation of real-time 3D reconstruction systems. Finally, a generic, multiple depth stream-based method for accurate real-time human skeleton tracking is proposed. Detailed experimental results with multi-Kinect2 data sets verify the validity of our arguments and the effectiveness of the proposed system and methodologies.

description: We present a new method for probabilistically classifying supernovae (SNe) without using SN spectral or photometric data. Unlike all previous studies to classify SNe without spectra, this technique does not use any SN photometry. Instead, the method relies on host-galaxy data. We build upon the well-known correlations between SN classes and host-galaxy properties, specifically that core-collapse SNe rarely occur in red, luminous, or early-type galaxies. Using the nearly spectroscopically complete Lick Observatory Supernova Search sample of SNe, we determine SN fractions as a function of host-galaxy properties. Using these data as inputs, we construct a Bayesian method for determining the probability that a SN is of a particular class. This method improves a common classification figure of merit by a factor of >2, comparable to the best light-curve classification techniques. Of the galaxy properties examined, morphology provides the most discriminating information. We further validate this method using SN samples from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Palomar Transient Factory. We demonstrate that this method has wide-ranging applications, including separating different subclasses of SNe and determining the probability that a SN is of a particular class before photometry or even spectra can. Since this method uses completely independent data from light-curve techniques, there is potential to further improve the overall purity and completeness of SN samples and to test systematic biases of the light-curve techniques. Further enhancements to the host-galaxy method, including additional host-galaxy properties, combination with light-curve methods, and hybrid methods should further improve the quality of SN samples from past, current, and future transient surveys.

This implies joint convergence in distribution to a $k$-tuple of higher variation processes, and so the existence of $k$-fold stochastic integrals as limits in probability. If the existence of moments of all orders is assumed, the result holds for free additive (not necessarily stationary) processes and more general approximants. In the appendix we note relevant properties of symmetric polynomials in non-commuting variables.

description: In this study, a series of novel Schiff bases (4a-4h) containing 1,2,4-triazole structure were synthesized through a condensation reaction of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones with 3-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyloxy)-benzaldehyde. The structures of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-[3-(4-methylsulfonyloxy)-benzylidenamino]-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (4a-h) were determined through a range of spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis). In addition, enzyme inhibitory properties of the newly synthesized Schiff bases were determined against acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Their Ki values were calculated in the range of 0.70 ± 0.07–8.65 ± 5.6 µM. Besides, their IC50 values were calculated in the range of 0.43–3.87 µM. Finally, in silico molecular docking interactions of the compounds with AChE target enzyme (PDB ID:4EY7) were evaluated using Chimera and AutoDock Vina softwares. The lowest binding energy levels (-12.0 kcal/mol) of the compounds 4e and 4g with AChE target enzyme were verified the best binding affinities and molecular interactions. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

description: This study uses classical molecular dynamics to simulate infinite nuclear matter and study the effect of isospin asymmetry on bulk properties such as energy per nucleon, pressure, saturation density, compressibility and symmetry energy. The simulations are performed on systems embedded in periodic boundary conditions with densities and temperatures in the ranges $ρ$=0.02 to 0.2 fm$^{-3}$ and T = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 MeV, and with isospin content of $x=Z/A$=0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. The results indicate that symmetric and asymmetric matter are self-bound at some temperatures and exhibit phase transitions from a liquid phase to a liquid-gas mixture. The main effect of isospin asymmetry is found to be a reduction of the equilibrium densities, a softening of the compressibility and a disappearance of the liquid-gas phase transition. A procedure leading to the evaluation of the symmetry energy and its variation with the temperature was devised, implemented and compared to mean field theory results.

description: In this paper we consider an un-cooperative spectrum sharing scenario, wherein a radar system is to be overlaid to a pre-existing wireless communication system. Given the order of magnitude of the transmitted powers in play, we focus on the issue of interference mitigation at the communication receiver. We explicitly account for the reverberation produced by the (typically high-power) radar transmitter whose signal hits scattering centers (whether targets or clutter) producing interference onto the communication receiver, which is assumed to operate in an un-synchronized and un-coordinated scenario. We first show that receiver design amounts to solving a non-convex problem of joint interference removal and data demodulation: next, we introduce two algorithms, both exploiting sparsity of a proper representation of the interference and of the vector containing the errors of the data block. The first algorithm is basically a relaxed constrained Atomic Norm minimization, while the latter relies on a two-stage processing structure and is based on alternating minimization. The merits of these algorithms are demonstrated through extensive simulations: interestingly, the two-stage alternating minimization algorithm turns out to achieve satisfactory performance with moderate computational complexity.

description: Satellites are subject to various severe vibration during different phases of flight. The concept of satellite smart adapter is proposed in this study to achieve active vibration control of launch vehicle on satellite. The satellite smart adapter has 18 active struts in which the middle section of each strut is made of piezoelectric stack actuator. Comprehensive conceptual design of the satellite smart adapter is presented to indicate the design parameters, requirements and philosophy applied which are based on the reliability and durability criterions to ensure successful functionality of the proposed system, also fabrication process of the proposed piezoelectric stack actuator is discussed in detail. The coupled electromechanical virtual work equation for the piezoelectric stack actuator in each active strut is derived by applying D'Alembert's principle to calculate the consistent mass matrix, the stiffness matrix and the load vector using finite element approximation. Modal analysis is performed to characterize the inherent properties of the smart adapter and extraction of a mathematical model of the system. Active vibration control analysis was conducted using fuzzy logic control with triangular membership functions and acceleration feedback. The control results conclude that the proposed satellite smart adapter configuration which benefits from piezoelectric stack actuator as elements of its 18 active struts has high strength and shows excellent robustness and effectiveness in vibration suppression of launch vehicle on satellite.

description: We investigate the contribution of Interatomic Coulombic Decay induced by ion impact in neon and argon dimers (Ne$_2$ and Ar$_2$) to the production of low energy electrons. Our experiments cover a broad range of perturbation strengths and reaction channels. We use 11.37 MeV/u S$^{14+}$, 0.125 MeV/u He$^{1+}$, 0.1625 MeV/u He$^{1+}$ and 0.150 MeV/u He$^{2+}$ as projectiles and study ionization, single and double electron transfer to the projectile as well as projectile electron loss processes. The application of a COLTRIMS reaction microscope enables us to retrieve the three-dimensional momentum vectors of the ion pairs of the fragmenting dimer into Ne$^{q+}$/Ne$^{1+}$ and Ar$^{q+}$/Ar$^{1+}$ (q = 1, 2, 3) in coincidence with at least one emitted electron.

description: I describe a novel covariant formulation of massive gauge theories in which the longitudinal polarization vectors do not grow with the energy. Therefore in the present formalism, differently from the ordinary one, the energy and coupling power-counting is completely transparent at the level of individual Feynman diagrams, with obvious advantages both at the conceptual and practical level. Since power-counting is transparent, the high-energy limit of the amplitudes involving longitudinal particles is immediately taken, and the Equivalence Theorem is easily demonstrated at all orders in perturbation theory. Since the formalism makes the Equivalence Theorem self-evident, and because it is based on a suitable choice of the gauge, we can call it an "Equivalent Gauge".

description: The experimental determination of the reaction rate coefficients for production and destruction of $\text{HCN}^+$ and $\text{HNC}^+$ in collisions with $\text{H}_2$ is presented. A variable temperature 22 pole radio frequency ion trap was used to study the reactions in the temperature range of $17 - 250\;\text{K}$. The obtained rate coefficients for the reaction of $\text{CN}^+$ and of $\text{HCN}^+$ with $\text{H}_2$ are close to the collisional (Langevin) value, whereas that for the reaction of $\text{HNC}^+$ with $\text{H}_2$ is quickly decreasing with increasing temperature. The product branching ratios for the reaction of $\text{CN}^+$ with $\text{H}_2$ are also reported and show a notable decrease of $\text{HNC}^+$ product with respect to $\text{HCN}^+$ product with increasing temperature. These measurements have consequences for current astrochemical models of cyanide chemistry, in particular for the $\text{HCNH}^+$ cation.

description: Although traffic sign detection has been studied for years and great progress has been made with the rise of deep learning technique, there are still many problems remaining to be addressed. For complicated real-world traffic scenes, there are two main challenges. Firstly, traffic signs are usually small size objects, which makes it more difficult to detect than large ones; Secondly, it is hard to distinguish false targets which resemble real traffic signs in complex street scenes without context information. To handle these problems, we propose a novel end-to-end deep learning method for traffic sign detection in complex environments. Our contributions are as follows: 1) We propose a multi-resolution feature fusion network architecture which exploits densely connected deconvolution layers with skip connections, and can learn more effective features for the small size object; 2) We frame the traffic sign detection as a spatial sequence classification and regression task, and propose a vertical spatial sequence attention (VSSA) module to gain more context information for better detection performance. To comprehensively evaluate the proposed method, we do experiments on several traffic sign datasets as well as the general object detection dataset and the results have shown the effectiveness of our proposed method.
