description: Finding a new locality of Asplenium viride in the £omniczka Cirque in the Karkonosze Mts allowed us to re-examine the current range and category of threat of this fern in the Sudeten Mts, in comparison to 2003 when it was regarded as endangered (category EN) in the region. According to a current analysis Asplenium viride lost 45% of its primary range in the Sudeten Mts and about 60% of its historical sites. About 100% of population occurs in the Stołowe, Bystrzyckie and Orlickie Mts and in the Śnieżnik Massif. Number of specimens decreased to 600-650 across the region, with only 6 localities of single specimens currently known from the western part of the Sudetes. This dramatic decrease causes a real risk of further reduction of the range of the species, which is accompanied by the disappearance of some sub-populations in the Śnieżnik Massif and the Stołowe Mts. Thus Asplenium viride should be considered as endangered in the region, regardless of occasional findings of new sites of this taxon. The scale and range of the current disappearance of the species correspond to its extinction in lowlands, where is reported in the literature sources from the 1980s. The most common reason of the decrease in size
or the loss of populations of Asplenium viride is overgrowing of the rocky slots by mosses or expansive grasses.

description: Novel series of quinoline-2-carboxamide based chalcone derivatives (5a–g) have synthesized and characterized using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, Mass, and elemental analysis. In-silico molecular docking studies exhibited that synthesized compounds 5a and 5g are good binding energy (−8.46 kcal and −9.46 kcal) toward the essential requirements of targeted compounds for EGFR receptor-bearing quinazoline inhibitor (PDB ID: 1M17(Lapitinib)). UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy measurements provided a significant effect on the absorption, emission cyclic voltammetry (CV), and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). Lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) values of compound 5g are also confirmed band along with intramolecular charge transfer character (D-π-A). The red shift maxima (510 nm) the emission spectra in various solvents with increasing solvent polarity.

description: We investigate the red supergiant (RSG) content of the SMC and LMC using multi-object spectroscopy on a sample of red stars previously identified by {\it BVR} CCD photometry. We obtained high accuracy ($<1$ km s$^{-1}$) radial velocities for 118 red stars seen towards the SMC and 167 red stars seen towards the LMC, confirming most of these (89% and 95%, respectively) as red supergiants (RSGs). Spectral types were also determined for most of these RSGs. We find that the distribution of spectral types is skewed towards earlier type at lower metallicities: the average (median) spectral type is K5-7 I in the SMC, M1 I in the LMC, and M2 I in the Milky Way. We argue that RSGs in the Magellanic Clouds are 100deg (LMC) and 300deg (SMC) cooler than Galactic RSGs of the same spectral type. We compare the distribution of RSGs in the H-R diagram to that of various stellar evolutionary models; we find that none of the models produce RSGs as cool and luminous as what is actually observed. In all of our H-R diagrams, however, there is an elegant sequence of decreasing effective temperatures with increasing luminosities; explaining this will be an important test of future stellar evolutionary models.

description: We give an explicit formulation of the time dependent AdS/CFT correspondence when there are multiple vacua present in Lorentzian signature. By computing sample two point functions we show how different amplitudes are related by cosmological particle production. We illustrate our methods in two example spacetimes: (a) a ``bubble of nothing'' in AdS space, and (b) an asymptotically locally AdS spacetime with a bubble of nothing on the boundary. In both cases the alpha vacua of de Sitter space make an interesting appearance.

description: With a view to promoting research while ensuring privacy, the Institut de la statistique du Québec, the Québec government's official statistics agency, has undertaken, in partnership with researchers and other government agencies, to set up a service that will provide researchers with secure remote access to microdata files resulting from the linkage of various administrative or survey data files already available. This new service features a number of advantages for researchers, privacy authorities and the agencies holding administrative data files: nbsp;easier and faster information searching using a web-accessible integrated data dictionary; a standardised procedure for authorising and obtaining data files that is recognised by all interested parties; linkage of administrative data files that do not have the same identification number using proven statistical methodologies; masking of data files from the linkage to prevent spontaneous recognition; remote access by researchers using anbsp;highly secure mechanism, which ensures confidentiality.
Hadron pair photoproduction within the Veneziano model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We first suppose that low-energy hadron pair photoproduction reactions gamma(*) gamma(*) -> h h-bar are dominated by s-channel resonance contributions. Their normalization is then calculated by their correspondence with the Reggeon term in the Regge parametrization of the gamma h total cross sections. For the case of p p-bar, we make use of the measured gamma p total cross section, and for the case of K+K-, we make use of the corresponding total cross section that is estimated using Regge factorization. For hadrons that have no such data, we can only provide rough estimation based on the additive quark rule. As an effective approach that is convenient and parameter-free, we adopt the Veneziano model in the simplest form. The model is only applicable to the region of low centre-of-mass energy. When the transverse momentum is large, perturbative QCD takes over, whereas in the Regge region, it is known that the Regge pole picture fails in photoproduction. Despite the shortcomings of the model, we find that the parameter-free amplitudes offer a sound description of the data at hand.

description: Three molecular species were modelled using TCNQ molecule as the electron acceptor and DBTTF, Tetracene and ADT molecules as the electron donor. These donor and acceptor moieties were separated by an insulating σ bridge to design suitable molecular diodes. All the molecular geometries were optimised by using the density functional theory based methods. To investigate the performance of these molecular species for the design of molecular diodes, ranging electric field was applied in two directions that are from donor to acceptor moieties and from acceptor to donor moieties. The effect of the electric field in both directions was thoroughly observed on the HOMO energy, LUMO energy, HOMO–LUMO energy gap, the spatial distribution of both frontier molecular orbitals and on the induced electric dipole moment. The outcome of the present investigation strongly suggests that charge transport is highly probable in one direction only, which means that these molecular species may be the excellent contenders for the design of molecular diodes.

description: Nowadays, three-dimensional meshes have been extensively used in several applications such as, industrial, medical, computer-aided design (CAD) and entertainment due to the processing capability improvement of computers and the development of the network infrastructure. Unfortunately, like digital images and videos, 3-D meshes can be easily modified, duplicated and redistributed by unauthorized users. Digital watermarking came up while trying to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose a blind robust watermarking scheme for three-dimensional semiregular meshes for Copyright protection. The watermark is embedded by modifying the norm of the wavelet coefficient vectors associated with the lowest resolution level using the edge normal norms as synchronizing primitives. The experimental results show that in comparison with alternative 3-D mesh watermarking approaches, the proposed method can resist to a wide range of common attacks, such as similarity transformations including translation, rotation, uniform scaling and their combination, noise addition, Laplacian smoothing, quantization, while preserving high imperceptibility.

Interventions aimed to increase average 24-hour systolic blood pressure reduce blood pressure drops in patients with reflex syncope and orthostatic intolerance
Creators: name: Brignole, Michele
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) drops recorded by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) identify patients with susceptibility to reflex syncope and orthostatic intolerance. We tested the hypothesis that treatments aimed to increase BP (reassurance, education & life-style measures plus pharmacological strategies) can reduce SBP drops.

Multicentre, observational proof-of-concept study performed in patients with reflex syncope and/or orthostatic intolerance and with SBP drops on a screening ABPM.

Among 144 eligible patients, 111 underwent a second ABPM on average 2.5 months after start of treatment. Overall, mean 24-hour SBP increased from 114.1±12.1 mmHg to 121.4±14.5 mmHg (p <0.0001). The number of SBP drops <90 mmHg and <100 mmHg decreased by 61%, 46% during daytime and by 48% and 37% during 24-hour period, respectively (p<0.0001 for all). The dose-response relationship between difference in 24-hour average SBP increase and reduction in number of SBP drops reached a plateau around approximately 15 mmHg increase of 24-hour SBP. The reduction in SBP drop rate was consistent and significant in patients who underwent deprescription of hypotensive medications (n=44) and in patients who received BP-rising drugs (n=67).

In patients with reflex syncope and/or orthostatic intolerance, an increase in average 24-hour SBP, regardless of the implemented strategy, significantly reduced the number of SBP drops and symptom burden. A 13 mmHg increase in 24-hour SBP appears to represent the optimal goal for aborting the maximal number of SBP drops, representing a possible target for future interventions.

description: We revisit the topic of the mean field ground state of a spin-1 atomic condensate inside a uniform magnetic field ($B$) under the constraints that both the total number of atoms ($N$) and the magnetization ($\cal M$) are conserved. In the presence of an internal state (spin component) independent trap, we also investigate the dependence of the so-called single spatial mode approximation (SMA) on the magnitude of the magnetic field and ${\cal M}$. Our result indicate that the quadratic Zeeman effect is an important factor in balancing the mean field energy from elastic atom-atom collisions that are known to conserve both $N$ and $\cal M$.

description: Quantum fluctuations driven by non-stoquastic Hamiltonians have been conjectured to be an important and perhaps essential missing ingredient for achieving a quantum advantage with adiabatic optimization. We introduce a transformation that maps every non-stoquastic adiabatic path ending in a classical Hamiltonian to a corresponding stoquastic adiabatic path by appropriately adjusting the phase of each matrix entry in the computational basis. We compare the spectral gaps of these adiabatic paths and find both theoretically and numerically that the paths based on non-stoquastic Hamiltonians have generically smaller spectral gaps between the ground and first excited states, suggesting they are less useful than stoquastic Hamiltonians for quantum adiabatic optimization. These results apply to any adiabatic algorithm which interpolates to a final Hamiltonian that is diagonal in the computational basis.

Diagnosis.
Apanteles galleriae can be separated from the other species of Apanteles known from Australia that have a dark metacoxa and metafemur, and the pterostigma without a pale centre and the ovipositor sheath length> 0.6 × metatibia length by having the antennae significantly shorter (~ 0.6–0.7 ×) than body length and T 3 with multiple rows of setae.
Notes.
Apanteles galleriae is a parasitoid of several species of wax moths (Pyralidae) associated with honey bees (Fernández-Triana et al. 2014) and the species is found in numerous countries around the world (Fernández-Triana et al. 2020). Whilst the species definitely occurs in New Zealand, confirmed by DNA barcoding (e. g., BOLD Process ID: NZMG 202-11), we have not confirmed the presence of the species in Australia during this study. The record of A. galleriae occurring in Australia is from Austin and Dangerfield (1992), but we have not been able to trace that record to the corresponding literature or specimens.

description: ATPases and GTPases are two important classes of protein that play critical roles in energy transduction, cellular signalling, gene regulation and catalysis. These proteins use cofactors such as nucleoside di and tri-phosphates (NTP, NDP) and can detect the difference between NDP and NTP which then induce different protein conformations. Mechanisms that drive proteins into the NTP or NDP conformation may depend on factors such as ligand structure and how Mg2+ coordinates with the ligand, amino acids in the pocket and water molecules. Here, we have used the advanced electrostatic and polarisable force field AMOEBA and molecular dynamics free energy simulations (MDFE) to examine the various binding mechanisms of ATP:Mg2+ and ADP:Mg2+. We compared the ATP:Mg2+ binding with previous studies using non-polarisable force fields and experimental data on the binding affinity. It was found that the total free energy of binding for ATP:Mg2+ (−7.00 ± 2.13 kcal/mol) is in good agreement with experimental values (−8.6 ± .2 kcal/mol) [1]. In addition, parameters for relevant protonation states of ATP, ADP, GTP and GDP have been derived. These parameters will allow for researchers to investigate biochemical phenomena involving NTP’s and NDP’s with greater accuracy than previous studies involving non-polarisable force fields.

description: In many aspects the most complicated noncommutative spaces correspond to foliated manifolds with nonvanishing Godbillon-Vey class. We argue that gauge invariance probably prevents a foliated manifold from creating resilient leaves and thus resulting in having nonvanishing GV-class. So these spaces which are of the highest noncommutativity are not likely to appear in gauge theories.

description: Using the BSBM varying-alpha theory, with dark matter dominated by magnetic energy, and the spherical collapse model for cosmological structure formation, we have studied the effects of the dark-energy equation of state and the coupling of alpha to the matter fields on the space and time evolution of alpha. We have compared its evolution inside virialised overdensities with that in the cosmological background, using the standard ($% Λ=0$) $CDM$ model of structure formation and the dark-energy modification, $wCDM$. We find that, independently of the model of structure formation one considers, there is always a difference between the value of alpha in an overdensity and in the background. In a $SCDM$ model, this difference is the same, independent of the virialisation redshift of the overdense region. In the case of a $wCDM$ model, especially at low redshifts, the difference depends on the time when virialisation occurs and the equation of state of the dark energy. At high redshifts, when the $wCDM$ model becomes asymptotically equivalent to the $SCDM$ one, the difference is constant. At low redshifts, when dark energy starts to dominate the cosmological expansion, the difference between alpha in a cluster and in the background grows. The inclusion of the effects of inhomogeneity leads naturally to no observable local time variations of alpha on Earth and in our Galaxy even though time variations can be significant on quasar scales. The inclusion of the effects of inhomogeneous cosmological evolution are necessary if terrestrial and solar-system bounds on the time variation of the fine structure 'constant' are to be correctly compared with extragalactic data.

description: Since the mid-1980s, numerous rural Chinese migrated to the cities for job opportunities created by the government’s economic reform policy. In 2019, China announced that the number of these rural migrant workers has reached near 300 million. Such a massive migration from rural to city driven by economic development has never happened in Chinese history. The rural Chinese live an agricultural life with their family members from generation to generation. This tradition has tightened each individual to their ancestral home. It is not hard to understand these rural migrants eager to go home. Their homesickness even worsened with an increasingly stressful and costly urban life. As the first bunch of rural migrant workers reach retirement age, they are now moving back to live in their rural homes, which has brought plenty of potential house regenerations in the Chinese countryside. With this context, the thesis proposes a house regeneration for my family in my hometown village to explore how the house transitions from a traditional prototype to a contemporary interpretation.

description: The paper presents the results of the studies on the forest flora of the Włodarz Massif, an isolated group of mountains in the western part of the Sowie Mts. The studied area covers 14 km2, which is covered in 77% by spruce monoculture and forest plantations. 195 species of vascular plants have been found, including 8 strictly protected and 8 partly-protected ones. The rarest species in the studied area are orchids: Listera ovata, Epipactis helleborine, Dactylorhiza majalis and Neottia nidus-avis, which were found in single localities only. The most common alien species is Impatiens parviflora. Pseudotsuga menziesii, Aesculus hippocastanum, Galinsoga parviflora, Myosotis arvensis and Melandrium album are much less common. The status of the two native species for Poland being alien for the Sudetes flora is unclear: both Telekia speciosa and Larix decidua are established in the local flora. Mountain species constitute less than 10% of all species which indicates a strong disturbance of the local flora due to the 19th century forest management.

Year: 2007

description: While vector-based boundary files are available from Statistics Canada for census boundaries for most levels of geography from the 1986 census through 2006, almost no comparable files are available prior to 1986.nbsp; Maturing GIS software, meanwhile, has made aggregate statistics in computer-readable form from 1961 and on more widely used for research than ever before. There is clearly demand for digital boundary files to allow the spatial display and analysis of pre-1986 census aggregate statistics. The objectives of this pilot project were to (1) Assemble the existing resources for creating digital enumeration: boundary files for 1976 and 1981 census geography (2) Devise and test methodologies of re-creating historical EA data based on currently available ancillary digital and analog spatial datasets and supportive Statistics Canada materials. The ultimate objective, to (3) Evaluate the feasibility of creating a national coverage of historic census maps.

We uncover a strong dependence of the focal point on both the material parameters and the frequency of incident spin waves. Full micromagnetic simulations compare well with theoretical predictions. Our findings would be helpful to manipulate spin waves in chiral magnets and to design functional magnonic devices.

description: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has become the foundation technique in modern broadband wireless communications, such as wireless local area network (WLAN, IEEE 802.11a,g,n), wireless metropolitan area network (WiMAX,IEEE 802.16) and cellular network (long term evolution (LTE) and 4G). However, future OFDM systems see challenging problems, associated with increased data rate and signal bandwidth requirement. Signal with larger bandwidth not only leads to severer frequency-domain channel fading, but also imposes more constraints and challenges on hardware. For example, in multi-band OFDM UWB systems, where the bandwidth of signal is more than 500MHz, analog to digital converter (ADC) becomes one of the bottlenecks of system development. Spectrum efficiency becomes more important due to the scarce spectrum resource and increased bandwidth requirement. OFDM improves spectrum efficiency by removing the guard band required in conventional frequency division systems, however, the temporal guarding interval used in OFDM is questioned as a factor that reduces spectrum efficiency. Some alternative approaches have been investigated to reduce the overhead, for example, the pseudo-random prefix (PRP). One better way of improving spectrum efficiency is to apply resource optimization techniques, which assign system resources to users adaptively according to users' link requirements and channel conditions. Spatial division multiple access (SDMA), as an extension of the optimization technique to multi-access systems, exploits spacial redundancy and significantly increases system capacity. This thesis investigates several solutions for these challenging problems, with focus on addressing the difference between using zero padding and cyclic padding, ADC solution for signals with extremely large bandwidth, and joint design of transmit and receive beamforming for SDMA systems. It is highlighted that timing error in zero-padded OFDM system causes intercarrier interference, which is very different to OFDM system with cyclic prefix where only phase rotation is arisen; Frequency-channelized ADC is proposed for OFDM systems with very large bandwidth, and receiver baseband implementation including synchronization and equalization is studied. The proposed receiver does not require a signal reconstruction module which was commonly needed in such systems; Some novel joint beamforming design schemes are proposed within the framework of multiuser multiple-input multiple-output systems following minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion. In a SDMA system with codebook based channel feedback, the proposed schemes can efficiently mitigate the multiuser interference due to the channel quantization error, and speed up the searching process significantly.

description: Entrepreneurs are individuals who take calculated risks, delve into ventures by organizing the factors of production in a way to get economic value from the resources, and are willing to bear the eventful loss that may arise from the investment. The entrepreneurs have self-motivation as well as self-determination traits that come a long way from the initial social agents that are in the life of the individual affecting how and whether they will have the entrepreneurial intent. The entrepreneurial intent is primarily subject to the influence of the parents a higher degree of the influence for a male child being from a family with both parents pursuing self-employment and a lower degree for the female child with self- employed parents. Regarding the career path one takes, the influencers are the parents specifically a father having a greater influence for the male child, and the female child influenced greatly by the mother then the teachers in a smaller scale.

description: Within the time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation for the Hubbard model we compute the magnetic fluctuations of vertical metallic stripes with parameters appropriate for La$_{1.875}$Ba$_{0.125}$CuO$_4$ (LBCO). For bond- and site-centered stripes the excitation spectra are similar, consisting of a low-energy incommensurate acoustic branch which merges into a ``resonance peak'' at the antiferromagnetic wave vector and several high-energy optical branches. The acoustic branch is similar to the result of theories assuming localized spins whereas the optical branches are significantly different. Results are in good agreement with a recent inelastic neutron study of LBCO.

description: Numerous factors can affect the Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOC) emitted by plants. One of these factors is the microbial communities living on leaf surfaces (phylloplane). Bacteria and fungi can use compounds produced and emitted by plants for their own metabolism. Thus, microorganism communities can modulate BVOC emissions and affect interactions between plants and other organisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of microbial communities on BVOC emissions of Brassica nigra leaves. Therefore, we removed bacteria and/or fungi by using bactericide/fungicide treatments in a factorial design experiment with Brassica nigra grown in pots. BVOC emissions were sampled before and after the treatment application. Our results showed that four new compounds (cyclohexanone, cyclohexyl cyanide and two unknown compounds) were emitted after the removal of fungi, whereas no effect was detected in response to the bactericide treatment. This suggests that fungi inhibit or reduce the production of the above mentioned BVOCs from Brassica nigra leaves or use those compounds for their own metabolism. The origin and the roles of the novel compounds emitted requires further investigation.

New locality of Schistostega pennata (Bryopsida, Schistostegaceae) in the Kamienne Mountains (Central Sudetes) [in Polish with English summary]

description: The new locality of Schistostega pennata was found in 2012 on sandstones near Różana in the Kamienne Mts. The species had not been reported there before. The new locality fits in the general trend of the range expansion and population increase. The trend has been accelerating since the 1970s. The analysis of ecological requirements of the species reveals that it depends not only on the specific habitat type (rock crevices, entrances to caves and tunnels), but also on the oligotrophic soil. Its expansion, observed since the 1950s, may depend on the gradually increasing acidification of soil and rock surface due to the anthropogenic emission of
compounds that led to decrease of rainwater pH – SO2 formerly and NOx recently. Schistostega
pennata can thus be regarded as an indicator of decreasing quality of natural environment.

description: The exact ground state of a strongly interacting quantum many-body system can be obtained by evolving a trial state with finite overlap with the ground state to infinite imaginary time. In this work, we use a newly discovered fourth order positive factorization scheme which requires knowing both the potential and its gradients. We show that the resultaing fourth order wave function alone, without further iterations, gives an excellent description of strongly interacting quantum systems such as liquid 4He, comparable to the best variational results in the literature.
