description: Long gamma-ray bursts mark the death of massive stars, as revealed by their association with energetic broad-lined stripped-envelope supernovae. The scarcity of nearby events and the brightness of the GRB afterglow, dominating the first days of emission, have so far prevented the study of the very early stages of the GRB-SN evolution. Here we present detailed, multi-epoch spectroscopic observations of SN 2017iuk, associated with GRB 171205A which display features at extremely high expansion velocities of $\sim$ 100,000 km s$^{-1}$ within the first day after the burst. These high-velocity components are characterized by chemical abundances different from those observed in the ejecta of SN 2017iuk at later times. Using spectral synthesis models developed for the SN 2017iuk, we explain these early features as originating not from the supernova ejecta, but from a hot cocoon generated by the energy injection of a mildly-relativistic GRB jet expanding into the medium surrounding the progenitor star. This cocoon becomes rapidly transparent and is outshone by the supernova emission which starts dominating three days after the burst. These results proves that the jet plays an important role not only in powering the GRB event but also its associated supernova.

description: Epidemiological studies have established obesity as a critical risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer (post-BC), whereas a reverse association holds prior to menopause. A significant scientific gap exists in understanding the mechanism(s) underpinning this epidemiological phenomenon, particularly the reverse association between obesity and premenopausal breast cancer (pre-BC). This study aimed to understand how folate metabolism and DNA methylation inform the association between obesity and pre-BC. Fifty normal breast tissue samples were collected from premenopausal women who underwent reduction mammoplasty. We modified the Lactobacillus Casei microbiological folate assay and measured folate levels in our breast tissue samples. The DNA methylation of LINE-1, a biomarker of genome-wide methylation, and the expression of a panel of breast cancer-related genes was measured by pyrosequencing and real-time PCR. We found that a high BMI is associated with an increase of folate levels in mammary tissue, with an increase of 2.65 ng/g of folate per every 5-unit increase of BMI (p < 0.05). LINE-1 DNA methylation was significantly associated with BMI (p < 0.05), and marginally associated with folate concentration (p = 0.087). A high expression of SFRP1 was observed in subjects with high BMI or high folate status (p < 0.05). This study demonstrated that, in premenopausal women, obesity is associated with increased mammary folate status, genome-wide DNA methylation and SFRP1 gene expression. Our findings indicated that the improved folate and epigenetic status represents a novel mechanism responsible for the reverse association between obesity and pre-BC.

description: Currently, third-generation sequencing techniques, which allow to obtain much longer DNA reads compared to the next-generation sequencing technologies, are becoming more and more popular. There are many possibilities to combine data from next-generation and third-generation sequencing. Herein, we present a new application called dnaasm-link for linking contigs, a result of \textit{de novo} assembly of second-generation sequencing data, with long DNA reads. Our tool includes an integrated module to fill gaps with a suitable fragment of appropriate long DNA read, which improves the consistency of the resulting DNA sequences. This feature is very important, in particular for complex DNA regions, as presented in the paper. Finally, our implementation outperforms other state-of-the-art tools in terms of speed and memory requirements, which may enable the usage of the presented application for organisms with a large genome, which is not possible in~existing applications. The presented application has many advantages as (i) significant memory optimization and reduction of computation time (ii) filling the gaps through the appropriate fragment of a specified long DNA read (iii) reducing number of spanned and unspanned gaps in the existing genome drafts. The application is freely available to all users under GNU Library or Lesser General Public License version 3.0 (LGPLv3).

description: Correlations related to local charge conservation provide insight into the creation and evolution of up, down and strange charges in the quark-gluon plasma. Here, the evolution of charge correlations is overlaid onto a hydrodynamic calculation for the regions where temperature exceed 155 MeV, then transferred and carried through a microscopic model of the hadronic stage. Thus, for the first time, charge correlations are evolved consistently with a full state-of-the-art description of a heavy-ion collision. The charge correlations are projected onto charge balance functions, which characterize such correlations in the final state, and are presented as a function of relative rapidity and relative azimuthal angle for Au/Au collisions. The role of the hadronic stage is investigated. Calculation of the contribution to charge-separation observables related to the chiral magnetic effect are also presented. Calculations are compared to data from the STAR Collaboration at RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) data when possible.

description: We have varied the disorder in a two-dimensional electron system in silicon by applying substrate bias. When the disorder becomes sufficiently low, we observe the emergence of the metallic phase, and find evidence for a metal-insulator transition (MIT): the single-parameter scaling of conductivity with temperature near a critical electron density. We obtain the scaling function $β$, which determines the length (or temperature) dependence of the conductance. $β$ is smooth and monotonic, and linear in the logarithm of the conductance near the MIT, in agreement with the scaling theory for interacting systems.

description: Tungsten is considered as one of the most promising materials for nuclear fusion reactor chamber applications. Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing has already demonstrated the ability to deposit defect-free large-scale tungsten structures, with considerable deposition rates. In this study, the microstructure of the as-deposited and heat-treated material has been characterised; it featured mainly large elongated grains for both conditions. The heat treatment at 1273 K for 6 hours had a negligible effect on microstructure and on thermal diffusivity. Furthermore, the linear coefficient of thermal expansion was in the range of 4.5x10-6 micron m-1 K-1 to 6.8x10-6 micron m-1 K-1; the density of the deposit was as high as 99.4% of the theoretical tungsten density; the thermal diffusivity and the thermal conductivity were measured and calculated, respectively, and seen to decrease considerably in the temperature range between 300 K to 1300 K, for both testing conditions. These results showed that Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing can be considered as a suitable technology for the production of tungsten components for the nuclear sector.

description: We present analytic formulae for the QCD renormalization group factors relating the Wilson coefficients C_i(mu_t) and C_i(mu), with mu_t = O(m_t) and mu < mu_t, of the Delta F=2 dimension six four-quark operators Q_i in the Standard Model and in all of its extensions. Analogous analytic formulae for the QCD factors relating the matrix elements and with mu_K < 2GeV are also presented. The formulae are given in the NDR scheme. The strongest renormalization-group effects are found for the operators with the Dirac structures (1 - gamma_5)*(1 + gamma_5) and (1 - gamma_5)*(1 - gamma_5). We calculate the matrix elements in the NDR scheme using the lattice results in the LRI scheme. We give expressions for the mass differences Delta M_K and Delta M_B and the CP-violating parameter epsilon_K in terms of the non-perturbative parameters B_i and the Wilson coefficients C_i(mu_t). The latter summarize the dependence on new physics contributions.

description: Wendelstein 7-X core fueling is primarily achieved through pellet injection. The trajectory of plasmoids from an ablating pellet is an ongoing research question, which is complicated by the complex magnetic geometry of W7-X; curvature drive varies significantly toroidally, including a change in the drift drive direction. Here we use the Hermes model in BOUT++ to simulate cold plasma filaments in slab geometries where the magnetic drift drive is non-uniform along the field line. It is shown that if the field-line-averaged curvature drive is non-zero, a filament will propagate coherently in the direction of average drive. It is also shown that a non-uniform drive will provide a non- uniform propagation; an effect which is reduced at higher temperatures due to an increased sound speed along the field line. Finally, simulations with curvature similar to that found in Wendelstein 7-X are performed which indicate a slow radial propagation of plasma filaments despite a highly non-uniform drive profile.

description: The evolution of the quintessence in various stages of the universe, the radiation-, matter-, and quintessence-dominated, is closely related with the tracking behavior and the deceleration parameter of the universe. We gave the explicit relation between the equation-of-state of the quintessence in the epoch of the matter-quintessence equality and the inverse power index of the quintessence potential, obtained the constraint on this potential parameter come from the present deceleration parameter, i.e., a low inverse power index. We point out that the low inverse power-law potential with a single term can not work for the tracking solution. In order to have both of the tracker and the suitable deceleration parameter it is necessary to introduce at least two terms in the quintessence potential. We give the future evolution of the quintessential universe.

description: Immature dendritic cells (iDCs) play very important roles in the pathological process of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, it is urgent to search for natural products with antiproliferative activity on iDCs for anti-RA drug discovery. Erycibe schmidtii, a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used to treat RA in China. Its bioactive ingredients on RA are still unclear. In this study, twenty compounds including a new caffeoylquinic acid derivative, 3-O-caffeoyl-4-O-syringoylquinic acid methyl ester (16), were isolated from E. schmidtii. Their structures were elucidated by NMR and mass spectroscopic analysis, and comparison with literature data. Seventeen compounds were obtained from this plant for the first time, and ten were first found from the genus Erycibe. Scopoletin (1, 5.0 μM) functionally reduced proliferation level of bone marrow immature dendritic cells (BM-iDCs) more than 50%, relative to vehicle. However, scopoletin (1) exhibited no effect on the phagocytosis or survival of BM-iDCs in vitro.

description: In 1940s Britain, the upheaval of gender ‘norms’ during the Second World War destabilised the structures of the heterosexual matrix and generated a wartime climate that was, in many respects, queer. Critics working in the field have demonstrated how the literature from this turbulent decade of British history navigated the wartime definitions of ‘masculinity’ and ‘femininity’ and the reversion to heterosexual ‘norms’ in the postwar. This thesis examines the queerness of 1940s British literature in its multiple configurations. Approaching the decade through queer theory allows for a more generous, playful, and capacious exploration of the literary engagement with gender, sexuality and desire throughout the 1940s, beyond the restrictive parameters of heterosexuality. To this end, the thesis is divided into three chapters that trace the presence of queerness across the decade from early war through to the postwar. The first chapter concerns ‘masculinity’ and the turn-to-war between 1938-41; it examines how the changing definition of legitimate wartime manhood met with queer resistance in the fictions of Patrick Hamilton and Henry Green. Chapter two takes 1945 and the decadent worlds of Evelyn Waugh and Nancy Mitford as its subject, considering how Camp provided war-weary readers with a much-needed dose of queer escapism – alongside the tantalising prospect of deviant desire. The final chapter looks at women’s postwar desires in novels by the two Elizabeths, Bowen and Taylor, analysing how these fictions resist the return of conventional heterosexuality by engaging in alternative queer fantasies of masochism, role-play, and kink. In every chapter, queer desire and pleasure exist in tension with the negativity associated with being queer within a ‘straight’ society; a juxtaposition that is explored throughout the thesis.

description: The dynamical spin susceptibility is studied in the magnetically-disordered phase of heavy-Fermion systems near the antiferromagnetic quantum phase transition. In the framework of the $S=1/2$ Kondo lattice model, we introduce a perturbative expansion treating the spin and Kondo-like degrees of freedom on an equal footing. The dynamical spin susceptibility displays a two-component behaviour in agreement with the inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments performed in $CeCu_{6}$, $Ce_{1-x}La_{x}Ru_{2}Si_{2}$ and $UPt_{3}$: a quasielastic q-independent peak as in a Fermi liquid theory, and a strongly q-dependent inelastic peak typical of a non-Fermi liquid behaviour. Very strikingly, the position of the inelastic peak is found to be pushed to zero at the antiferromagnetic transition. The picture is consistent with the neutron cross sections observed in INS experiments.

description:
We examined oral PrEP interest among adolescents and its association with perceived parental support and PrEP stigma. Cross-sectional data were collected during baseline procedures of the “Our Family Our Future” intervention trial in South Africa. Adolescents (14–16 years) at elevated risk for acquiring HIV and their parents or caregivers were dyadically enrolled from 2018 to 2021. There were 879 complete adolescent-parent dyads. Among adolescents, 27% had heard about PrEP, 67% reported they would want to use PrEP, and 58% thought their parent would want them to use PrEP. Among parents, 33% had heard about PrEP and 85% reported they would want their adolescent to use PrEP. Adolescents who thought their parent would want them to use PrEP were more likely to be interested in PrEP than adolescents who thought their parent would not want them to use PrEP (adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) = 2.11, 95% CI 1.82, 2.44). Further, adolescents with higher average PrEP stigma scores above the adolescent sample median were less likely to be interested in PrEP than adolescents with lower average PrEP stigma scores (aPR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.72, 0.91). In conclusion, parents were more supportive of their adolescent taking PrEP than adolescents perceived they would be, and perceptions of low parental support and greater PrEP stigma were associated with reduced PrEP interest among adolescents. Interventions should aim to improve adolescent-parent communication around sexual health and effective HIV prevention tools.

description: This diploma thesis deals with image soni cation and addresses the most common problems found in the eld which are dealing with the soni cation of shape, color and texture. While most approaches are based on user interaction, we have achieved to establish a one-toone relationship between the image and the soni ed result. By using perceptually meaningful mappings, the properties of an image are directly re ected to the audio domain in a very predictable way. If the task is to convey information, the listener can draw conclusions about the image by decoding the soni ed result. Otherwise, using image soni cation as a tool to aid sound design, can yield many interesting audio results that are hard to achieve by using only the existing audio based techniques.

description: Extremely irradiated, close-in planets to early-type stars might be prone to strong atmospheric escape. We review the literature showing that X-ray-to-optical measurements indicate that for intermediate-mass stars (IMS) cooler than $\approx$8250 K, the X-ray and EUV (XUV) fluxes are on average significantly higher than those of solar-like stars, while for hotter IMS, because of the lack of surface convection, it is the opposite. We construct spectral energy distributions for prototypical IMS, comparing them to solar. The XUV fluxes relevant for upper planet atmospheric heating are highest for the cooler IMS and lowest for the hotter IMS, while the UV fluxes increase with increasing stellar temperature. We quantify the influence of this characteristic of the stellar fluxes on the mass loss of close-in planets by simulating the atmospheres of planets orbiting EUV-bright (WASP-33) and EUV-faint (KELT-9) A-type stars. For KELT-9b, we find that atmospheric expansion caused by heating due to absorption of the stellar UV and optical light drives mass-loss rates of $\approx$10$^{11}$ g s$^{-1}$, while heating caused by absorption of the stellar XUV radiation leads to mass-loss rates of $\approx$10$^{10}$ g s$^{-1}$, thus underestimating mass loss. For WASP-33b, the high XUV stellar fluxes lead to mass-loss rates of $\approx$10$^{11}$ g s$^{-1}$. Even higher mass-loss rates are possible for less massive planets orbiting EUV-bright IMS. We argue that it is the weak XUV stellar emission, combined with a relatively high planetary mass, which limit planetary mass-loss rates, to allow the prolonged existence of KELT-9-like systems.

title: Innate immune defence mechanisms against viruses in the presence of sodium chloride

description: Sodium chloride (NaCl) has been previously shown to have an antiviral effect in non-myeloid cells through the conversion of chloride ions to hypochlorous acid (HOCl). This evokes an innate immune response effective against several DNA/RNA/enveloped/non-enveloped viruses. However, the exact mechanism of HOCl production and how it exerts its antiviral effects are poorly understood. Here the effect of NaCl on reducing replication of herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) was compared against aciclovir, the leading antiviral treatment for HSV-1, in transformed mammalian cell lines. In HeLa cells (cervical epithelial cell line), NaCl showed an effect equivalent to that of aciclovir, and slight synergistic effects were seen when used in combination. When tested in different neuroblastoma cell lines, no effect on viral replication was seen with NaCl or aciclovir in SK-N-AS and SH-SY5Y cells. The antiviral effects of NaCl were also tested using viral plaque assays for Influenza A strain A/PR/8/34 (PR8) in MDCK cells. In these assays there were indications that the effects of NaCl on viral replication are biphasic as concentrations lower and higher than the range around physiological NaCl in mammalian systems created smaller plaques. As more resistance to antivirals is emerging, particularly with increasing number of immunocompromised individuals, further understanding of NaCl and its antiviral mechanism would assist in the generation of new drugs that utilise the cell’s own immune system to defend against viruses.

description: The class III histone deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) plays a pivotal role in numerous biological and physiological functions, including inflammation. An association between SIRT1 and proinflammatory cytokines might exist. In addition to their important role in inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), proinflammatory cytokines mediate the development of systemic effects. Here, we evaluated systemic SIRT1 expression and enzymatic activity, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and in liver isolated from rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA), treated or not with low or high doses of glucocorticoids (GCs). We also measured the production of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in PBMCs and liver. We found that SIRT1 expression and activity increased in PBMCs of AIA rats compared to healthy controls and decreased under GC treatment. Similarly, we observed an increased SIRT1 activity in the liver of AIA rats compared to healthy controls which decreased under high doses of GCs. We also found an increase in IL-1 beta and TNF levels in the liver of AIA rats compared to healthy controls, which decreased under high doses of GC. We did not observe a significant correlation between SIRT1 activity and proinflammatory cytokine production in PBMC or liver. In contrast, a strong positive correlation was found between the liver levels of TNF and IL-1 beta (rho=0.9503, p=7.5x10−21). Our results indicate that increased inflammation in AIA rats compared to healthy control is accompanied by an increased SIRT1 activity in both PBMCs and liver, which could be decreased under GC treatment.

description: We consider a one-dimensional lattice model with the nearest-neighbor interaction $V_1$ and the next-nearest neighbor interaction $V_2$ with filling factor 1/2 at zero temperature. The particles are assumed to be spinless fermions or hard-core bosons. Using very simple assumptions we are able to predict the basic structure of the insulator-metal phase diagram for this model. Computations of the flux sensitivity support the main features of the proposed diagram and show that the system maintains metallic properties at arbitrarily large values of $V_1$ and $V_2$ along the line $V_1-2V_2=γJ$, where $J$ is the hopping amplitude, and $γ\approx1.2$. We think that close to this line the system is a ``weak'' metal in a sense that the flux sensitivity decreases with the size of the system not exponentially but as $1/L^α$ with $α>1$.

description: Latinos are heavily affected with childhood asthma. Little is known about epigenetic mechanisms of asthma in Latino youth. We conducted a meta-analysis of two epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of asthma, using DNA from white blood cells (WBCs) from 1,136 Latino children and youth aged 6 to 20 years. Genes near the top CpG sites in this EWAS were examined in a pathway enrichment analysis, and we then assessed whether our results replicated those from publicly available data from three independent EWAS conducted in non-Latino populations. We found that DNA methylation profiles differed between subjects with and without asthma. After adjustment for covariates and multiple testing, two CpGs were differentially methylated at a false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted P < 0.1, and 193 CpG sites were differentially methylated at FDR-adjusted P < 0.2. The two top CpGs are near genes relevant to inflammatory signalling, including CAMK1D (Calcium/Calmodulin Dependent Protein Kinase ID) and TIGIT (T Cell Immunoreceptor With Ig And ITIM Domains). Moreover, 25 genomic regions were differentially methylated between subjects with and without asthma, at Šidák-corrected P < 0.10. An enrichment analysis then identified the TGF-beta pathway as most relevant to asthma in our analysis, and we replicated some of the top signals from publicly available EWAS datasets in non-Hispanic populations. In conclusion, we have identified novel epigenetic markers of asthma in WBCs from Latino children and youth, while also replicating previous results from studies conducted in non-Latinos.

description: With the rapid growing of remotely sensed imagery data, there is a high demand for effective and efficient image retrieval tools to manage and exploit such data. In this letter, we present a novel content-based remote sensing image retrieval method based on Triplet deep metric learning convolutional neural network (CNN). By constructing a Triplet network with metric learning objective function, we extract the representative features of the images in a semantic space in which images from the same class are close to each other while those from different classes are far apart. In such a semantic space, simple metric measures such as Euclidean distance can be used directly to compare the similarity of images and effectively retrieve images of the same class. We also investigate a supervised and an unsupervised learning methods for reducing the dimensionality of the learned semantic features. We present comprehensive experimental results on two publicly available remote sensing image retrieval datasets and show that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art.

description: For stationary cylindrically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equation we have shown that the "charged" solutions of McCrea, Chitre et al.(CGN), Van den Bergh and Wils (VW) can be obtained from the seed metrics using generating conjecture. The McCrea "charged" solution has as a seed vacuum metric the Van Stockum solution with a Killing vector (0,0,1,0). The CGN "charged" solution and the VW "charged" solution have the static seed metrics connected by the complex substitution (t --> iz), (z --> it) and the Killing vector which is a simple linear combination of ${\partial}_ϕ$ and ${\partial}_{t}$ Killing vectors (VW), respectively ${\partial}_ϕ$ and ${\partial}_{z}$ Killing vectors (CGN).

Comment on "Distinct Thresholds for the Initiation and Cessation of Aeolian Saltation From Field Measurements" by Raleigh L. Martin and Jasper F. Kok: Alternative Interpretation of Measured Thresholds as two Distinct Cessation Thresholds

description: Martin and Kok (2018a) measured two distinct aeolian saltation transport thresholds: a larger threshold below which continuous saltation transport becomes intermittent and a smaller threshold below which intermittent saltation transport ceases. In the spirit of Bagnold, they interpreted the former threshold as the \textit{fluid threshold}, associated with transport initiation, and the latter threshold as the \textit{impact threshold}, associated with transport cessation. Here I describe and support an alternative interpretation of these two thresholds as two distinct cessation thresholds associated with splash entrainment and, respectively, with compensating energy losses of rebounding particles. This interpretation was recently proposed by Pähtz and Durán (2018a). To resolve this controversy, further field studies are needed.
