description: Medicinal plants as rich sources of bioactive compounds are now being explored for drug development against COVID-19. 19 medicinal plants known to exhibit antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects were manually curated, procuring a library of 521 metabolites; this was virtually screened against NSP9, including some other viral and host targets and were evaluated for polypharmacological indications. Leads were identified via rigorous scoring thresholds and ADMET filtering. MM-GBSA calculation was deployed to select NSP9-Lead complexes and the complexes were evaluated for their stability and protein-ligand communication via MD simulation. We identified 5 phytochemical leads for NSP9, 23 for Furin, 18 for ORF3a, and 19 for IL-6. Ochnaflavone and Licoflavone B, obtained from Lonicera japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) and Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice), respectively, were identified to have the highest potential polypharmacological properties for the aforementioned targets and may act on multiple pathways simultaneously to inhibit viral entry, replication, and disease progression. Additionally, MD simulation supports the robust stability of Ochnaflavone and Licoflavone B against NSP9 at the active sites via hydrophobic interactions, H-bonding, and H-bonding facilitated by water. This study promotes the initiation of further experimental analysis of natural product-based anti-COVID-19 therapeutics. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: We present a measurement of the direct CP-violating charge asymmetry in B^+/- mesons decaying to J/psi K^+/- and J/psi pi^+/- where J/psi decays to mu^+ mu^-, using the full Run II data set of 10.4 fb^-1 of proton-antiproton collisions collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A difference in the yield of B^- and B^+ mesons in these decays is found by fitting to the difference between their reconstructed invariant mass distributions resulting in asymmetries of ajpk =[0.59 +/- 0.37]%, which is the most precise measurement to date, and ajppi= [-4.2 +/- 4.5]%. Both measurements are consistent with standard model predictions.

An experimental investigation of flow over simple blunt bodies at a mach number of 5.8

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1957
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: NOTE:  Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

Shock stand-off distances and shock shapes were measured and/or observed for a series of 14 blunt-nosed bodies at a Mach number of 5. 8 and Reynolds number per inch of [...]. Nine of these bodies had hemisphere-segment noses designed to include the entire range of possible nose radii of curvature from flat-faced to hemispherical. Two models characterized by sharp shoulders and concave hemisphere-segment noses were also tested. Three additional models representing the round-shouldered, flat-faced type completed the set of 14. All models had cylindrical afterbodies 1.50 inches in diameter, and were yawed at angles of 0, 4, and 8 degrees.

Stand-off distances are compared to the theoretical predictions of Hayes, Frobstein, and Heybey where applicable, and shock shape is compared to that given by Hayes for the body with infinite nose radius of curvature. Results of the stand-off distance comparisons varied from under prediction by a factor of two to over prediction by the same amount. Hayes' shock shape approximated that actually observed very closely. It was generally found that body shape in the sonic region greatly influenced the shock shape and stand-off distance.

Static pressure distributions were measured on three representative bodies selected as follows: (1) a hemisphere-segment body having a ratio of nose radius to base diameter of 1.30 and falling in the middle of the range from hemisphere to flat-nosed; (2) a flat-faced body with sharp shoulder; and (3) a flat-faced body with a rounded shoulder of 5/16 inch radius. Pressures very close to stagnation values generally were found to be present over a large area of the nose in the case of the flat-faced body. Rounding of the shoulder tended to reduce values of [...] below those observed at corresponding points on the completely flat-faced body, except in the region near the body axis The pressure distributions are compared where applicable with the modified Newtonian approximation and with Probstein's approximation to [...] for zero angle of yaw. Agreement with the modified Newtonian values was generally good near the axis, but deteriorated rapidly in the shoulder regions, except in the case of the rounded shoulder body.
Severe anaemia in sub-Saharan African children: the roles of nutrition, metabolism and the gut microbiota in recovery
Creators: name: Marshall-Walsh, Kevin John
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Severe anaemia (Hb<5.0g/dl) affects almost 1 in 20 children in sub-Saharan Africa, and up to 1 in 4 child hospital admissions in this region (Muhe et al., 2000; Kiggundu et al., 2013). Micronutrient deficiency, malaria, infections and genetic factors contribute to its development. Severe childhood anaemia is associated with a high risk of mortality (19% within 6 months) (Phiri et al., 2008) and survivors experience long term health effects. Bacterial co-infection from gut-derived pathogenic bacteria is a frequent cause of death (Church and Maitland, 2014). Diet, altered metabolism, and the gut microbiota are thus implicated in severe anaemia, however interactions between these factors are poorly understood. The Transfusion and treatment of severe anaemia in African children study (TRACT) which assessed optimum transfusion dose, micronutrient supplementation, and prophylactic antibiotic treatment provided an opportunity to address these factors. The aim of this study was to characterise the diet of children in Eastern Uganda, and assess the impact on recovery from anaemia. It also aimed to assess whether interactions between diet and host metabolism or the gut microbiota were significantly altered in severely anaemic children, and whether changes in these were associated with recovery. A pilot study (n=19) was conducted to validate a 24-hour dietary recall method, which showed that the method had low inter-assessor variability, and high validity when compared to weighed food records. A subset (n=339) of children from the TRACT study in eastern Uganda were recruited to undergo dietary assessment and provide urine, plasma and faecal samples at admission, day 28 and day 180. A majority of children had diets which lacked diversity, reliant on a single carbohydrate-rich but micronutrient-poor food source. Food intake on admission was restricted in energy and micronutrients and was inadequate for a majority of children, but quantity and diversity increased as children recovered. Urine and plasma metabolic profiles reflected acute inadequate energy intake on admission (ketosis) and metabolic stress associated with critical illness (glycosuria and lipoprotein dysregulation), in addition to condition-specific effects including malaria-associated hyperphenylalaninaemia. These metabolic derangements resolved with treatment as children recovered. The gut microbiota of children in this study on admission lacked diversity and was dominated by potentially pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus faecium. High levels of antibiotic use, in addition to low dietary diversity and dietary fibre intake contributed to reduced diversity and richness in species observed. Alterations in diet, metabolism and the gut microbiota were identified in this study in severely anaemic children, reflecting the causes and severity of this condition. Potential routes to reduce the impacts of these derangements were identified for future research.

description: We present the kinematic results from our ARGOS spectroscopic survey of the Galactic bulge of the Milky Way. Our aim is to understand the formation of the Galactic bulge. We examine the kinematics of about 17,400 stars in the bulge located within 3.5 kpc of the Galactic centre, identified from the 28,000 star ARGOS survey. We aim to determine if the formation of the bulge has been internally driven from disk instabilities as suggested by its boxy shape, or if mergers have played a significant role as expected from Lambda CDM simulations. From our velocity measurements across latitudes b = -5 deg, -7.5 deg and -10 deg we find the bulge to be a cylindrically rotating system that transitions smoothly out into the disk. Within the bulge, we find a kinematically distinct metal-poor population ([Fe/H] < -1.0) that is not rotating cylindrically. The 5% of our stars with [Fe/H] < -1.0 are a slowly rotating spheroidal population, which we believe are stars of the metal weak thick disk and halo which presently lie in the inner Galaxy. The kinematics of the two bulge components that we identified in ARGOS paper III (mean [Fe/H] = -0.25 and [Fe/H] = +0.15, respectively) demonstrate that they are likely to share a common formation origin and are distinct from the more metal poor populations of the thick disk and halo which are colocated inside the bulge. We do not exclude an underlying merger generated bulge component but our results favour bulge formation from instabilities in the early thin disk.

description: We study the effects of dipolar interactions on a Bose-Einstein condensate with synthetically generated Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The dipolar interaction we consider includes terms that couple spin and orbital angular momentum in a way perfectly congruent with the single-particle Rashba coupling. We show that this internal spin-orbit coupling plays a crucial role in the rich ground-state phase diagram of the trapped condensate. In particular, we predict the emergence of a thermodynamically stable ground state with a meron spin configuration.

description: Standard, planar accretion discs operate through a dissipative mechanism, usually thought to be turbulent, and often modelled as a viscosity. This acts to take energy from the radial shear, enabling the flow of mass and angular momentum in the radial direction. In a previous paper we discussed observational evidence for the magnitude of this viscosity, and pointed out discrepancies between these values and those obtained in numerical simulations. In this paper we discuss the observational evidence for the magnitude of the dissipative effects which act in non--planar discs, both to transfer and to eliminate the non--planarity. Estimates based on the model by Ogilvie (1999), which assumes a small--scale, isotropic viscosity, give alignment timescales for fully ionized discs which are apparently too short by a factor of a few compared with observations, although we emphasize that more detailed computations as well as tighter observational constraints are required to verify this conclusion. For discs with low temperature and conductivity, we find that the timescales for disc alignment based on isotropic viscosity are too short by around two orders of magnitude. This large discrepancy suggests that our understanding of viscosity in quiescent discs is currently inadequate.

They exhibit uniform transcendentality and coincide with the piece of highest transcendentality in the corresponding QCD Wilson coefficients. We extract from the QCD result a NNLO prediction for the N=4 SYM Wilson coefficient, and comment on the features of its Regge limit asymptotics.

It is shown that such metrics are classified into three types and the corresponding local expressions are given explicitly. It is also shown that they cover some classes of charged, rotating Kaluza-Klein black hole solutions of minimal supergravity and abelian heterotic supergravity.

description: Background: The pattern and role of microglial activation in multiple system atrophy is largely unclear. The objective of this study was to use [11 C](R)-PK11195 PET to determine the extent and correlation of activated microglia with clinical parameters in MSA patients. Methods: Fourteen patients with the parkinsonian phenotype of MSA (MSA-P) with a mean disease duration of 2.9 years (range 2-5 years) were examined with [11 C](R)-PK11195 PET and compared with 10 healthy controls. Results: Patients with the parkinsonian phenotype of MSA showed a significant (P ≤ 0.01) mean increase in binding potentials compared with healthy controls in the caudate nucleus, putamen, pallidum, precentral gyrus, orbitofrontal cortex, presubgenual anterior cingulate cortex, and the superior parietal gyrus. No correlations between binding potentials and clinical parameters were found. Conclusions: In early clinical stages of the parkinsonian phenotype of MSA, there is widespread microglial activation as a marker of neuroinflammatory changes without correlation to clinical parameters in our patient population.

The behavior of Π_{V-A}(Q^2) near euclidean momentum Q^2=0 is used to determine the effective low-energy constants L_10^eff and C_87^eff related to the renormalized low-energy constants L_10^r and C_87^r in the chiral lagrangian. We also investigate how well two-loop chiral perturbation theory describes Π_{V-A}(Q^2) as a function of Q^2. This is the first determination of L_10^eff and C_87^eff to employ a fully self-consistent model for the violations of quark-hadron duality in both the vector and axial channels. We also discuss the values of the coefficients C_{6,V-A} and C_{8,V-A} governing the dimension six and eight contributions to the operator product expansion representation of Π_{V-A}(Q^2).

description: This report is an attempt to unravel the structure of the very complicated western portion of the Puente Hills known as the Whittier Hills. The only comprehensive published study of it was made by English in 1926.(1) Of the Whittier Hills portion he said, "The Whittier Hills, comprising the area west of La Habra Canyon, show some of the most complicated structure to be found within this district. Steep irregular dips, numerous faults, unconformities, and lithologic variations in the different formations and members make the structure, as well as the stratigraphy, difficult to work out."(2)

The mode of approach has been that of a very detailed examination in which every attitude available has been recorded. The petrographic interests have been sacrificed to permit a closer structural analysis of a larger area. Some semblance of order has thus been obtained for most of the area.

The situation briefly is this: a section of upper Puente shale and part of the Repetto siltstone and conglomerate have been folded and faulted into apparently unrelated blocks. Included in these structures are one hundred mappable lithologic units, twenty-five different faults, and nine major folds. The most westerly portion of the Whittier Fault disappears in the area, and thereby presents the problem of determining its westward extension. The area has two distinct oil-producing fields and has been mapped by many oil companies in exploration for others. The folds mapped may thus be of interest from an economic point of view.

We discuss how parameters of these models may be constrained by precise astrometry at different wavelenghts. From published observations of the gravitational lens MG J2016+112, we obtain world-best limits on chromatic gravitational deflection of light (and the unique limit on the photon mass relevant for distance scales >Mpc). We also outline prospects for further improvement of these limits.

The flow of a rarefied gas through a circular orifice and a two-dimensional slit

description: NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

Experiments were conducted to measure the mass flow of helium through a circular orifice and a two-dimensional slit over a wide range of Reynolds number for large pressure ratios across the test apertures. The Reynolds number, defined as [...] for the orifice and [...] for the slit, ranged nominally from 5 x [...] to 3 x [...]. The upstream-to-downstream pressure ratio, [...], was at all times greater than 100:1 so that the Mach number, defined as [...], was at all times approximately unity.

The results of the present experiments on the circular orifice are found to compare favorably with the results of experimental and theoretical work on the circular orifice by previous investigators. The results of the present experiments on the two-dimensional slit (which appear to be the first of this nature) do not compare favorably with the results of the meager amount of theoretical work on the two-dimensional slit.

The transition from free-molecule flow to continuum-limit flow for the circular orifice appears to be substantially complete within the range [...]. The two-dimensional slit behaves very much like the circular orifice for [...]. Unlike the circular orifice, however, the transition from free-molecule flow to continuum-limit flow for the two-dimensional slit appears to cover the range [...].

description: The effects of decoherence on the transfer and storage of coherent quantum states in hybrid systems are studied within the Caldeira-Leggett approach. In general, we find that a high transfer fidelity can be achieved even if the decoherence time is less than an order of magnitude larger than the transfer time, which is approximately half a Rabi period and determined by the qubit-qubit coupling strength. Finally, we apply our results to assess the feasibility of a hybrid quantum memory system, comprised of the hyperfine qubit states of an ultracold atomic Bose-Einstein condensate and the flux qubit of a SQUID.

Some Monoapparitic Fourth Order Linear Divisibility Sequences
Creators: name: Williams, H.C.
name: Guy, R.K.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2012

description: A sequence of rational integers {An} is said to be a divisibility sequence if Am | An whenever m | n. If the divisibility sequence {An} also satisfies a linear recurrence relation of order k, it is said to be a linear divisibility sequence. The best known example of a linear divisibility sequence of order 2 is the Lucas sequence {un}, one particular instance of which is the famous Fibonacci sequence. In their extension of the Lucas functions to order 4 linear recursions, Williams and Guy showed that the order 4 analog {Un} of {un} can have no more than two ranks of apparition for a given prime p and frequently has two such ranks, unlike the situation for {un}, which can only have one rank of apparition. In this paper we investigate the problem of finding those sequences {Un} which have only one rank of apparition for any prime p.

description: Determining the aperiodicity of large earthquake recurrences is key to forecast future rupture behavior. Aperiodicity is classically expressed as the coefficient of variation of recurrence intervals, though the recent trend to express it as burstiness is more intuitive and avoids minor inaccuracies. Due to the underestimation of burstiness in records with a low number of recurrence intervals, the paradigm is to obtain long paleoseismic records with many events. Here, we present a suite of synthetic paleoseismic records designed around the Weibull and inverse Gaussian distributions that demonstrate that age uncertainty relative to the mean recurrence interval causes overestimation of burstiness. The effects of overestimation and underestimation interact and give complex results for accurate estimates of aperiodicity. Furthermore, we show that the way recurrence intervals are sampled from a paleoseismic record can have strong influences on the resulting statistic and its implication for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. Comparing values of burstiness between paleoseismic records should therefore be done with caution.

Double zigzag spin chain in strong magnetic field close to saturation

description: We study the ground state phase diagram of a frustrated spin tube in a strong external magnetic field. This model can be viewed as two coupled zigzag spin chains, or as a two-leg spin ladder with frustrating next-nearest-neighbor couplings along the legs, and its study is motivated by the physics of such materials as Sulfolane-Cu_{2}Cl_{4} and BiCu_{2}PO_{6}. In magnetic fields right below the saturation, the system can be effectively represented as a dilute gas of two species of bosonic quasiparticles that correspond to magnons with inequivalent incommensurate momenta at two degenerate minima of the magnon dispersion. Using the method previously proposed and tested for frustrated spin chains, we calculate effective interactions in this two-component Bose gas. On this basis, we establish the phase diagram of nearly-saturated frustrated spin tube, which is shown to include the two-component Luttinger liquid, two types of vector chiral phases, and phases whose physics is determined by the presence of bound magnons. We study the phase diagram of the model numerically by means of the density matrix renormalization group technique, and find a good agreement with our analytical predictions.

description: Examination of sustainable business models is conducted to identify opportunities for ensuring continuing support of scientific data centers and other digital repositories that are responsible for the stewardship of resources to support science and scholarship. Based on a typology of sustainable approaches for scientific data stewardship, a portfolio approach is proposed for repositories that are seeking to improve the sustainability of their business models. Such a diversified approach should not only support current operational services but also reduce the risks to long-term data stewardship.

An interferometric measurement of index of refraction

description: NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

Of the several common methods for measurement of the index of refraction of solid optical materials, only one, the minimum deviation method, can conveniently be used for materials whose refractive index exceeds 1.8. The minimum deviation method requires that a large prism of the optical material be constructed; this is not always possible or feasible for some crystalline optical materials that are of current interest. A method for measurement of index of refraction is presented which requires a thin flat plate of the optical material and is unlimited in the range of refractive index it can cover.

The method uses a two-beam interferometer to determine the optical path length through the flat plate by tipping away from normal incidence through a measured angle. It may be used in the visible portion of the spectrum directly, or extended to other spectral regions with the use of a suitable detector. The technique is shown to have an overall accuracy of [plus or minus] 2 x 10[superscript -4] in the refractive index. An error analysis is presented which shows that sample plates that have a small wedge angle may be used with only slight deterioration in the accuracy. The method is applied to the measurement of the principal indices of refraction of crystalline barium titanate at several wavelengths in the visible spectrum.

An analysis of methods for using an interferometer to determine gradients of refractive index as well as refractive index dispersion is also presented.

description: In the course of preparing for the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, an off-road race for autonomous vehicles, a group of undergraduates from Caltech developed a set of deterministic algorithms for performing sensor fusion on maps generated by different range sensors on a mobile robot. That framework had serious limitations, however, including "disappearing" obstacles and lack of confidence data associated with features in the maps. In this thesis, we present a probabilistic framework that attempts to solve some of these problems by using error models of two typical types of range sensors, as well as by making use of Kalman filtering techniques from control theory to fuse the resulting measurements into an accurate digital elevation map. Our results indicate that this probabilistic framework has several advantages over the determinisic framework used by Team Caltech in the 2005 Grand Challenge.

description: It has been shown that entanglement distillation of Gaussian entangled states by means of local photon subtraction can be improved by local Gaussian transformations. Here we show that a similar effect can be expected for the distillation of an asymmetric Gaussian entangled state that is produced by a single squeezed beam. We show that for low initial entanglement, our largely simplified protocol generates more entanglement than previous proposed protocols. Furthermore, we show that the distillation scheme also works efficiently on decohered entangled states as well as with a practical photon subtraction setup.

Motion of an unarticulated helicopter blade with application to the problem of vibration of the rigid rotor helicopter
Creators: name: Winson, Jonathan
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1946
Subjects: Aeronautics
Aeronautical Engineering

description: The present investigation concerns itself almost completely with the derivation and solution of the equations of motion of the helicopter blade. The fluctuating aerodynamic forces which cause flapping in the hinged rotor bend the blades of the rigid rotor in a vertical plane. The effect of the bending is to cause fluctuating moments on the rotor hub. This pure bending oscillation is the most obvious cause of vibration and is treated here. Coupled motions are not considered and are effectively eliminated by the assumption that the mass center, aerodynamic center and elastic axis are at the point on each cross section of the blade and that the elastic axis is a straight line.

Although this work was undertaken to investigate rotor vibration, it has broader significance. It is, in effect, the essential step which makes possible the rational analysis of all rigid rotor dynamics and aerodynamics. It is directly comparable in importance to the solution of the problem of the blade flapping motion in hinged rotor work. For example, once the bending of the blade in forward flight is known such information as

1. Fatigue stresses in the blades
2. Control lag angle required
3. Maximum deflection of the blades, etc.

is immediately available.

description: Stars in young nearby associations are the only targets allowing giant planet searches at all separations in the near future, by coupling indirect techniques such as radial velocity and deep imaging. These stars are first priorities targets for the forthcoming planets imagers on 10-m class telescopes. Young stars rotate more rapidly and are more active than their older counterparts. Both effects can limit the capability to detect planets using RV. We wish to explore the planet detection capabilities of a representative sample of stars in close and young associations with radial velocity data and explore the complementarity between this technique and direct imaging. We observed 26 such targets with spectral types from A to K and ages from
