description: Arabic is a cursive script that lacks the ease of character segmentation. Hence, we suggest a unit that is discrete in nature, viz. the connected component, for Arabic text recognition. A lexicon listing valid Arabic connected components is necessary to any system that is to use such unit. Here, we produce and analyze a comprehensive lexicon of connected components. A lexicon can be extracted from corpora or synthesized from morphemes. We follow both approaches and merge their results. Besides, generation of a lexicon of connected components encompasses extra tokenization and point-normalization steps to make the size of the lexicon tractable. We produce a lexicon of surface-words, reduce it into a lexicon of connected components, and finally into a lexicon of point normalized connected components. The lexicon of point normalized connected components contains 684,743 entries, showing a percent decrease of 97.17% from the word-lexicon.

description: Our current study focuses on the molecular structures of the series of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranoside 1–9 as potential antifungal agents to obtain more insight into the origin of their encouraging bioactivity. In vitro antimicrobial testing and the prediction of activity spectra for substances revealed that these carbohydrate derivatives have promising antifungal functionality compared to their antibacterial activities. In support of this finding, molecular docking was performed against lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51A1) and Altemaria alternata (6LCC) by screening carbohydrate derivatives whereby significant binding affinities and non-bonding interactions have been observed against both microbial proteins. The majority of the derivatives studied here could bind near the critical catalytic residues. The molecular dynamics study has revealed that the complexes formed by these derivatives with the proteins lanosterol 14α-demethylase and Altemaria alternata can remain stable, both over time and in physiological conditions. The POM analysis shows the clear presence of an antifungal (O1δ-—O2δ-) pharmacophore site. ADMET and QSAR predictions were analysed to assess their pharmacokinetic and drug-likeness properties, showing promising results in silico. This work demonstrates that potential carbohydrate derivatives bind to fungal pathogens in an effort to circumvent their activities and open avenues for the development of newer antibiotics, which may target fungal pathogens.

description: En grøn omstilling af transportsektoren kræver indførelse af nye og mindre klimabelastende tekno- logier. Elkøretøjer er både effektive og passer godt ind i den omstilling der sker i energisektoren, hvor særligt vindbaseret el kommer til at spille en væsentlig rolle. Biobrændsler har også et potenti- ale, men disse teknologier er mindre effektive og mængden af reelt 2. generation biomasse er be- grænset. Danmark har begrænset indflydelse på udviklingen af nye teknologier, men gennem en aktiv skattepolitik, kan man sikre, at de bedste teknologier på markedet kommer ind i den danske køretøjsflåde. For at sikre samspil mellem teknologiudviklingen, den nationale skattepolitik og trafikale virkemidler bør man i højere grad udstikke en langsigtet reduktionssti for transportsektorens CO2 udledning og arbejde med midlertidige og kraftige virkemidler, så denne følges.

description: We have run a new suite of simulations that solve hydrodynamics and radiative transfer simultaneously to study helium II reionization. Our suite of simulations employs various models for populating quasars inside of dark matter halos, which affect the He II reionization history. In particular, we are able to explore the impact that differences in the timing and duration of reionization have on observables. We examine the thermal signature that reionization leaves on the IGM, and measure the temperature-density relation. As previous studies have shown, we confirm that the photoheating feedback from helium II reionization raises the temperature of the IGM by several thousand kelvin. To compare against observations, we generate synthetic Ly$α$ forest sightlines on-the-fly and match the observed effective optical depth $τ_{\mathrm{eff}}(z)$ of hydrogen to recent observations. We show that when the simulations have been normalized to have the same values of $τ_\mathrm{eff}$, the effect that helium II reionization has on observations of the hydrogen Ly$α$ forest is minimal. Specifically, the flux PDF and the one-dimensional power spectrum are sensitive to the thermal state of the IGM, but do not show direct evidence for the ionization state of helium. We show that the peak temperature of the IGM typically corresponds to the time of 90%-95% helium ionization by volume, and is a relatively robust indicator of the timing of reionization. Future observations of helium reionization from the hydrogen Ly$α$ forest should thus focus on measuring the temperature of the IGM, especially at mean density. Detecting the peak in the IGM temperature would provide valuable information about the timing of the end of helium II reionization.

description: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancer are the top two leading causes of death globally. Vasodilators are commonly used to treat various CVDs. In cancer treatment, targeted anticancer agents have been developed to minimize side effects compared with traditional chemotherapy. Many hypertension patients are more prone to cancer, a case known as reverse cardio-oncology. This leads to the search for drugs with dual activity or repurposing strategy to discover new therapeutic uses for known drugs. Recently, medicinal chemists have shown great interest in synthesizing pyridazinone derivatives due to their significant biological activities in tackling these critical health challenges. This review will concentrate on pyridazin-3(2H)-one-containing compounds as vasodilators and anticancer agents, along with a brief overview of various methods for their synthesis. Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death worldwide, vasodilators of different classes are used to relieve these cardiovascular diseases. Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and different chemotherapeutic agents were synthesized to target many receptors. Since cancer and CVDs share the same risk factors, therefore many patients with hypertension are prone to cancer, a case known as reverse cardio-oncology. Thus, discovery of drugs with dual effects or repurposing strategies to discover a new activity for a known drug may be a tool to obtain new candidates to overcome cancer and CVDs. Pyridazin-3(2H)-one scaffold is found in many derivatives with different biological activities. Pyridazin-3(2H)-ones as vasodilators: There are many examples of vasodilators in the market bearing pyridazin-3(2H)-one core. Moreover, in the literature, many pyridazinone derivatives are acting as direct vasodilators or targeting renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and phosphodiesterase. There are different examples of pyridazinone derivatives in the market and literature acting as anticancer through the inhibition of PARP, DHFR, B-RAF, BTK, FGFR, FER and Tubulin polymerization. Different strategies for the synthesis of various pyridazinone derivatives were described.

Environmental Quenching and Galactic Conformity in the Galaxy Cross-Correlation Signal

description: It has long been known that environment has a large effect on star formation in galaxies. There are several known plausible mechanisms to remove the cool gas needed for star formation, such as strangulation, harassment and ram-pressure stripping.It is unclear which process is dominant, and over what range of stellar mass. In this paper, we find evidence for suppression of the cross-correlation function between massive galaxies and less massive star-forming galaxies, giving a measure of how less likely a galaxy is to be star-forming in the vicinity of a more massive galaxy. We develop a formalism for modelling environmental quenching mechanisms within the Halo Occupation Distribution scheme. We find that at $z \sim 2$ environment is not a significant factor in determining quenching of star-forming galaxies, and that galaxies are quenched with similar probabilities when they are satellites in sub-group environments, as they are globally. However, by $z \sim 0.5$ galaxies are much less likely to be star forming when in a high density (group or low-mass cluster) environment than when not. This increased probability of being quenched does not appear to have significant radial dependence within the halo at lower redshifts, supportive of the quenching being caused by the halting of fresh inflows of pristine gas, as opposed to by tidal stripping. Furthermore, by separating the massive sample into passive and star-forming, we see that this effect is further enhanced when the central galaxy is passive, a manifestation of galactic conformity.

description: Adiposity and obesity-related proteins (FTO), the earliest identified mRNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) demethylases, are known to play crucial roles in several biological processes. Therefore, FTO is a promising target for anticancer treatment. Understanding the biological functions and regulatory mechanisms of FTO targets can serve as guidelines for drug development. Despite significant efforts to develop FTO inhibitors, no specific small-molecule inhibitors have entered clinical trials so far. In this manuscript, we review the relationship between FTO and various cancers, the small-molecule inhibitors developed against FTO targets from the perspective of medicinal chemistry and other fields, and describe their structural optimization process and structure–activity relationship, providing clues for their future development direction. Highlighting the dual role of the FTO gene in obesity and cancer, and its key role as an m6A demethylase in biological processes. Emphasizing the multifaceted role of FTO in various types of cancer, including its impact on cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, migration, invasion and drug resistance. Describing the discovery process of small molecule inhibitors targeting FTO, and the strategies for optimizing their efficacy and selectivity through structural optimization. Unveiling the structural characteristics of the FTO protein, including its interactions with substrates and inhibitors, and its dual role in cancer. Discussing the potential of FTO inhibitors as anticancer drugs and possible future directions in drug development, including combination therapies with other treatments. Underlining the importance of assessing the safety and specificity of FTO inhibitors during drug development. Looking forward to personalized treatment strategies based on patients' genetic profiles and tumor molecular characteristics, and the role of FTO inhibitors in such approaches. Summarizing the research progress on FTO inhibitors and offering perspectives on future research directions and clinical application potential.

description: The question of whether there exist bound states of two heavy quarks $Q=(c,b)$ and antiquarks $\bar Q = (\bar c, \bar b)$, distinct from a pair of quark-antiquark mesons, has been debated for more than forty years. We suggest some means of producing and observing $Q_1 Q_2 \bar Q_3 \bar Q_4$ resonant states, concentrating on the $c c \bar c \bar c$ channel which is most easily produced and the $b b \bar b \bar b$ channel which has a better chance of being relatively narrow. We obtain $M_{(cc)(\bar c \bar c)} = 6,192 \pm 25$ MeV and $M_{(bb)(\bar b \bar b)} = 18,826 \pm 25$ MeV, for the charmed and bottom tetraquarks, respectively. Experimental search for these states in the relevant mass region is highly desirable.

description: Today, one of the most discussed problems is the increase of global population. The need to meet the market demand for foods has directly influenced agricultural practices. Recently, food quality and environmental sustainability are also the focus of the public attention (Campobenedetto et al., 2021). The challenge is the following: how to make agriculture environmentally friendly? Reducing pesticides, using water properly, and maintaining soil fertility are central topics in agronomic studies (Campobenedetto et al., 2021). Thus, agriculture will need to produce food for a growing world population using an ever-shrinking land area: climate changes, agricultural practices (i.e. excessive use of fertilizers) and water scarcity have resulted in increased salt concentration in the soil (Mannino et al., 2020). Soil salinity is not compatible with the current farming practices. The role of scientists is to understand how to make plants more resilient to salt stress using environmentally sustainable methods.

description: Simulations of proton-driven plasma wakefield accelerators have demonstrated substantially higher accelerating gradients compared to conventional accelerators and the viability of accelerating electrons to the energy frontier in a single plasma stage. However, due to the strong intrinsic transverse fields varying both radially and in time, the witness beam quality is still far from suitable for practical application in future colliders. Here we demonstrate efficient acceleration of electrons in proton-driven wakefields in a hollow plasma channel. In this regime, the witness bunch is positioned in the region with a strong accelerating field, free from plasma electrons and ions. We show that the electron beam carrying the charge of about 10% of 1 TeV proton driver charge can be accelerated to 0.6 TeV with preserved normalized emittance in a single channel of 700 m. This high quality and high charge beam may pave the way for the development of future plasma-based energy frontier colliders.

description: We present the first measurement of the CP violating charge asymmetry in $B^\pm \to μ^\pm ν_μ{D}^0$ decays using the full Run II integrated luminosity of 10.4 fb$^{-1}$ in proton-antiproton collisions collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We measure a difference in the yield of $B^-$ and $B^+$ mesons in these decays by fitting the reconstructed invariant mass distributions. This results in an asymmetry of $A^{μD^{0}} =\left[ -0.14 \pm 0.20 \right]\%$, which is consistent with standard model predictions.

Weather and road capacity

Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2014

description: The paper presents estimations of the effect of bad weather on the observed speed on a Danish highway section; Køge Bugt Motorvejen. The paper concludes that weather, primarily precipitation and snow, has a clear negative effect on speed when the road is not in hypercongestion mode. Furthermore, the capacity of the highway seems to be reduced in bad weather and there are indications that travel time variability is also increased, at least in free-flow conditions. Heavy precipitation reduces speed and capacity by around 5-8%, whereas snow primarily reduces capacity. Other weather variables such as darkness, frost, wind and fog also have effects, but they are minor and are hard to assess exactly. In general, the effects are less than found in other studies, primarily from North America. The effects are estimated using a two-step procedure. In step 1 the log to travel time is regressed non-parametrically against traffic density and in step 2 the residuals from step 1 are regressed linearly against the weather variables. The choice of a non- parametric method is made to avoid constricting ties from a parametric specification and because the focus here is not on the relationship between traffic flow and speed.

description: Motivated by recent optical lattice experiments [J.-y. Choi et al., Science 352, 1547 (2016)], we study the dynamics of strongly interacting bosons in the presence of disorder in two dimensions. We show that Gutzwiller mean-field theory (GMFT) captures the main experimental observations, which are a result of the competition between disorder and interactions. Our findings highlight the difficulty in distinguishing glassy dynamics, which can be captured by GMFT, and many-body localization, which cannot be captured by GMFT, and indicate the need for further experimental studies of this system.

description: Det er et mål for EU at opnå en kraftig reduktion i udledningen af CO2 fra transportsektoren. Elbiler kan være en af måderne at opnå dele af denne reduktion fordi det er muligt at oplade elbiler med strøm fra vedvarende energikilder så som vindmøller. En væsentlig udfordring med at erstatte brændstofbiler med elbiler er, at elbilerne har en betydelig kortere rækkevidde. Denne artikel anvender GPS data fra 164 elbiler og 447 brændstofbiler til at undersøge om der er forskelle på, hvordan elbiler og brændstofbiler anvendes og hvilke hastigheder de kører med. Herudover anvendes forbrugsdata (CAN bus data) fra elbiler til at vurdere på den faktiske rækkevidde for disse biler. Hovedkonklusionerne er, at ture i elbiler generelt er lidt kortere, at elbiler kører lidt stærkere i byerne, men betydeligt langsommere på motorvejene. For rækkevidden af elbiler konkluderes det, at dette er meget afhængigt af årstiden (temperaturen) og spænder fra 77 km (vinteren) til 130 km (sommeren) for den type af elbiler undersøgt i denne artikel.

There has been much debate over recent years about the best way to teach reading, but the strongest body of evidence supports a structured phonics program. Yet researchers have found that many primary school teachers may not have sufficient phonological awareness, and knowledge of the relationship between letters and sounds, to teach reading effectively. Professional development programs have been shown to improve teachers’ phonological understanding, which can lead to improved literacy outcomes for their students. Teachers using Cued Articulation provide their students with a cue for individual sounds in words. Therefore, successful completion of a Cued Articulation training course requires that teachers gain an awareness of these sounds, and an appreciation of English phonology. These outcomes subsequently lead to an improved understanding of how these sounds are represented by letters in the opaque English orthographic system. This study investigated whether attendance at a Cued Articulation training course can provide the phonological and letter-sound awareness required by teachers of reading, and whether teachers perceive any change in their teaching practice following course attendance. Quantitative results provided strong evidence that course attendance is associated with significant gains in teacher knowledge, and qualitative data revealed that teachers recognized these gains in their understanding and consequent changes to their approach to the teaching of reading.

description: Eulichas oborili Hájek, sp. nov.
(Figs. 13, 34, 54, 74)
Type locality. Thailand, Nan prov., Ban Bo Klua env.
Type material. 3 specimens — Holotype 3 (NMPC), labelled: “ THAILAND 13.–26.V.2002 / NAN Prov. / BAN BO KLUA env. / P. Prûdek & M. Obořil leg. [printed]”. Paratypes: 2ƤƤ (nos. 1–2), same data as holotype (NMPC).
Description. Habitus elongate, fusiform. Body colouring from brown to brown-blackish. Pale part of setation consists of recumbent yellowish grey setae forming characteristic ocellations on pronotum, elytra and abdominal sternites (Fig. 13).
Measurements. Male: 23 mm; females: 27–28 mm.
Head punctation consists of sparse, irregularly distributed moderately large setigerous punctures. Antenna long, slender, last antennomere nearly rectangular with apical elongation, ca. 3.65 times as long as wide (Fig. 34), its ventral side smooth.
Pronotum trapezoidal, ca. 1.81–1.90 times as wide as long. Sides almost regularly rounded (Fig. 54). The disc with two oval shallow depressions. Punctation consists of sparse moderately coarse setigerous punctures on the disc, which become slightly coarser and denser laterally.
Elytra with numerous longitudinal rows of moderately large punctures, and very fine interstitial setigerous punctures.
Ventral part with fine punctures, which are sparse medially and become larger and denser laterally. Last abdominal ventrite laterally regularly rounded to apex.
Male. Aedeagus with phallobase of the same length as parameres. Parameres simple, slender, parallel sided, with relatively short apical part. Their subbasal hook is missing, but the subapical hook is well developed and prominent. Median lobe lanceolate, slightly exceeding parameres (Fig. 74).
Female. Similar to male in habitus, but larger. Antenna shorter, and more slender.
Differential diagnosis. In habitus, E. oborili sp. nov. is similar to E. siamensis sp. nov. and E. similis sp. nov. of the E. uniformis complex, but it is more elongate and subparallel. It could be easily recognised by the shape of aedeagus. E. oborili sp. nov. has slender, parallel sided parameres without subbasal hook, and distinctly lanceolate median lobe exceeding the apex of parameres.
Collection circumstances. Collected under the bark of tree with fermenting sap, near a stream (M. Obořil pers. comm., 2005).
Distribution. So far known only from the type locality in northern Thailand.
Etymology. The new species is dedicated to one of its collectors, my friend Martin Obořil (Brno, Czech Republic), a specialist on Buprestidae.

description: To facilitate a scaling up and embedding of multifunctional nature-based solutions, it is important to create a strategic enabling culture within cities – moving beyond a focus that often rests primarily within one departmental team (for example, spatial planning or green space management) to include a suite of strategic services such as corporate policy, economic development, housing and regeneration, health and social care, transport and to harness the support of elected local politicians. By creating this enabling culture, there are opportunities to identify and mobilise the multifunctional benefits that can accrue from a scaled-up city approach to nature-based solutions, embedding them within a broad range of strategic goals, aligned with indicators that can deliver a coherent place-based framework for improved local places for residents and businesses. The milestone is a draft document that reports on progress to identify linkages between the Connecting Nature front-runner city strategic goals and nature-based solutions goals to complement city planning and indicator development and to inform the exemplar implementation process. The analysis of this work will be incorporated in Deliverable 8, a report on front-runner cities’ current expertise and experience in nature-based solutions based on a synthesis of outcomes from experiential learning workshops and concluding with a process chart for a transferrable key performance indicators approach to nature-based solutions. The scope of the milestone is to provide a working draft of existing front-runner city organisational culture, in order to identify opportunities to embed indicators for nature-based solutions in the city's strategic context.

description: Sustainable Development and Decision Support are two conceptual ’procedures’ which are not yet aligned. Sustainability has been a buzzword used by politicians, planners and stakeholders for enabling a trend towards the sustainable society. It is generally expected that the three dimensions of the economy, society and the environment must be included in any measurable sustainability path. However these do not provide much guidance as to how to prioritize impacts within and between the dimensions. A conceptualized approach to sustainability based on the nested model is therefore presented seeking to provide an alternative approach to sustainable transportation assessment, namely the SUSTAIN DSS model. This model is based on a review of basic principles of sustainability presented by the Brundtland Commission report, and operationalized by the use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The planning and decision-making process related to the new connection across the Roskilde fjord in Frederikssund is used as a case study. It is found that the SUSTAIN DSS model provides a foundation for connecting better to the essence of sustainable development as well as to integrate sustainability into the practice.

description: Aim: To synthesize new hybrid cinnamic acids (10a, 10b and 11) and ester derivatives (7, 8 and 9) and investigate their anti-breast cancer activities. Materials & methods: Compounds 7–11 were evaluated (in vitro) for their cytotoxic activities against the MCF-7 cell line. A flow cytometry examination was performed. Protein levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), topoisomerase II and caspase-9 were measured by qRT-PCR. Molecular docking studies were conducted. Results: Several components were discovered to be active, mainly component 11, which induced arrest in the cell cycle at phase S, greatly decreased the expression of Nrf2 and topoisomerase II; and upregulated the expression of caspase-9. Conclusion: The newly thiohydantoin-cinnamic acid hybrids can contribute to creating promising candidates for cancer drugs. A library of novel hybrid cinnamic acids (10a, 10b and 11) and ester derivatives, were synthesized and evaluated (in vitro) for their cytotoxic activities against the MCF-7 cell line Compound 11, the most active component, induced arrest in the cell cycle at phase S in MCF-7 cells, causing apoptosis at the pre-G1 phase. The findings of qRT-PCR showed that compound 11 greatly decreased the expression of Nrf2 and topoisomerase II; and upregulated the expression of caspase-9. The molecular docking analysis confirmed that the synthesized compounds had a strong affinity for binding to Nrf2, Topoisomerase II and caspase-9 proteins.

description: Aim: Design and synthesis of a series of 5-benzylidene(thio)barbiturates 3a–r. Methodology: Evaluation of the inhibitory activity of the new chemical entities on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) using Donepezil as the standard reference. Results & Conclusion: Compound 3r emerged as the most potent AChE inhibitor (IC50 = 9.12 μM), while compound 3q exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against BChE (IC50 = 19.43 μM). Toxicological bioassays confirmed the absence of cytotoxicity for the most potent compounds at the tested doses. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated that the tested derivatives effectively bind to the active sites of both enzymes. Overall, this study sheds light on the potential of barbiturate–sulfonate conjugates as promising drug candidates. A series of 5-benzylidene(thio)barbiturates were synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory properties against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Compounds 3r and 3q were the most potent analogs against AChE and BChE, respectively, with no cytotoxicity detected on the normal cell line. Antioxidant assays revealed respectable antioxidant values. Computational studies were utilized to validate the binding interactions. The study highlighted the potential of barbiturate–sulfonate hybrids as drug candidates.
