description: Natural products are used for the treatment of a variety of diseases for many years. Last decades, design and synthesis of novel biologically active hybrid molecules including natural product is gained big importance due to their unique and new biological properties. In the present study, novel artemisinin-benzothiophene derivatives (12 A-F) are synthesised. Initially, benzothiophene derivatives (4 A-4F) are prepared via the Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions and iodocyclisation reactions. Then, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions were used for the formation of intermediates 6 A-6F (between 64% and 91% yields). Finally, the Steglich esterification reaction between intermediate 6 and artesunate formed the artemisinin-benzothiophene hybrids (9 A-9F) in moderate to excellent yields under very mild reaction conditions. When intermediate 6 was reacted with dihydroartemisinin, product 12 A-12F was also obtained with high yields.

description: General metric theories of gravity in four-dimensional spacetimes can contain at most six polarization modes (two spin-0, two spin-1 and two spin-2) of gravitational waves (GWs). It has been recently shown that, with using four GW non-coaligned detectors, a direct test of the spin-1 modes can be done in principle separately from the spin-0 and spin-2 modes for a GW source in particular sky positions [Hagihara et al., Phys. Rev. D 98, 064035 (2018)]. They have found particular sky positions that satisfy a condition of killing completely the spin-0 modes in a so-called null stream which is a linear combination of the signal outputs to kill the spin-2 modes. The present paper expands the method to discuss a possibility that the spin-0 modes are not completely but effectively suppressed in the null streams to test the spin-1 modes separately from the other modes, especially with an expected network of Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA. We study also a possibility that the spin-1 modes are substantially suppressed in the null streams to test the spin-0 modes separately from the other modes, though the spin-1 modes for any sky position cannot be completely killed in the null streams. Moreover, we find that the coefficient of the spin-0 modes in the null stream is significantly small for the GW170817 event, so that an upper bound can be placed on the amplitude of the spin-1 modes as $< 6 \times 10^{-23}$.

description: In this Letter we investigate uniformly rotating, homogeneous and axisymmetric relativistic fluid bodies with a toroidal shape. The corresponding field equations are solved by means of a multi-domain spectral method, which yields highly accurate numerical solutions. For a prescribed, sufficiently large ratio of inner to outer coordinate radius, the toroids exhibit a continuous transition to the extreme Kerr black hole. Otherwise, the most relativistic configuration rotates at the mass-shedding limit. For a given mass-density, there seems to be no bound to the gravitational mass as one approaches the black-hole limit and a radius ratio of unity.

description: We present the expected performance regarding fast sky localization of coalescing binaries with a network of three gravitational wave detectors having heterogeneous sensitivities, such as the LIGO-Virgo network. A hierarchical approach can be used in order to make an effective use of information from the least sensitive detector. In this approach, the presence of an event seen in coincidence in the two more sensitive detectors triggers a focused search in the data of the third, less sensitive, detector with a lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) threshold. We investigate the benefit for sky localization that can be expected in such an approach, using simulated data and signals. We find that as the sensitivity of Virgo approaches one third of the LIGO sensitivity, the accuracy and precision of the localization can be improved by about a factor 3 when Virgo data are searched with an SNR threshold around 3.5.

description: The Sustainable Agriculture Consortium for Historically Disadvantaged Farmers Program (SACH) was designed to carry out an experiment by five 1890 Land-Grant Universities in partnership with five farmer based cooperatives in five states to assess marketing fruits and vegetables to Walmart from a regional perspective. Using the Consortium as a case study, this study examined the Consortium within the framework of implementation evaluation. The data were collected using semi structured interviews and document analysis. The study answered the questions such as, what did the Consortium do, and what were some of the accomplishments of the Consortium? Consequently, farmers were able to: negotiate price points; develop a cold chain management system; properly package and store produce; and cultivate a mutually beneficial relationship with the buyer. The benefits derived from the Consortium included: providing supplemental income for the participating farmers; expansion of the existing regional food system; and promotion of good farm management practices.

description: Quantum information processing (QIP) requires thorough assessment of decoherence. Atoms or ions prepared for QIP often become addressed by radiation within schemes of alternating microwave-optical double resonance. A well-defined amount of decoherence may be applied to the system when spurious resonance light is admitted simultaneously with the driving radiation. This decoherence is quantified in terms of longitudinal and transversal relaxation. It may serve for calibrating observed decoherence as well as for testing error-correcting quantum codes.

description: The Walmart Initiative was designed to provide technical support to train at least 200 farmers on best practices in marketing produce to larger companies and corporations like Walmart. This support was provided through specialized training, workshops, informational group meetings, and overall awareness of market opportunities. The specialized training included Food Safety Standards and Food Safety Certification requirements, effective production techniques, harvesting, grading, packaging, refrigeration/cold chain requirements, transportation, fiscal responsibility, financial management, record-keeping, and insurance and product liability. As part of a five state initiative, Tuskegee University identified and assisted in the formation of the Small Farmers Agricultural Cooperative comprised of members from several regions throughout the State of Alabama. The Cooperative received training necessary to understand the importance of farmers working together, internal management and controls, sharing of knowledge, resources and experience, doing business at higher volumes/quantities, and operating at a higher level of quality assurance; thus, improving marketing opportunities.

description: We study the ratio of $J/ψ$ over minimum bias in $Pb$ $Pb$ collisions at SPS energy. The NA50 data exhibit a sharp turn-over at $E_T \sim 100$ GeV (close to the knee of the $E_T$ distribution) followed by a steady, steep decrease at larger $E_T$. We show that this behaviour can be explained by the combined effects of a small decrease of the hadronic $E_T$ in the $J/ψ$ event sample (due to the $E_T$ taken by the $J/ψ$ trigger), together with the sharp decrease of the $E_T$ distributions in this $E_T$ region (tail). This phenomenon does not affect the (true) ratio $J/ψ$ over $DY$ (obtained by the NA50 standard analysis), but does affect the one obtained by the so-called minimum bias analysis. A good agreement is obtained with the data coming from both analysis -- as well as with the ratios of $J/ψ$ and $DY$ over minimum bias -- in the whole $E_{T}$ region.

 Material examined. More than 100 articulated specimens and single valves (2 to 3 mm) from EI and SyG (BK), plus specimens from the Hawaiian Islands (MHU), and the holotype (ANSP 116351) of Nucula hawaiensis.
 Diagnosis. Shell small (up to 3 mm in length), solid and obliquely ovate. Strongly inequilateral with the umbones near the posterior end. Anterior margin long and evenly rounded, while the posterior margin is short, broadly rounded to somewhat subtruncate. Exterior surface smooth near the umbones which is gradually followed by fine commarginal growth striae, increasing in strength near the ventral margin. Interior nacreous, pallial sinus simple, ventral margin finely crenulated. Hinge line arched and consisting of chevron-shaped taxodont teeth, anterior with 6–10, and posterior with 4–5. Color white with brown periostracum on fresh specimens.
 Remarks. Rehder (1980: 106) proposed a new species living in EI, from five worn valves collected in sand above the high tide level. He based his new species on three differentiating characters, namely a slightly larger size, a perceived lack of commarginal ridges, and number of hinge teeth.
 After studying the holotype of Nucula hawaiensis Pilsbry, 1921, and comparing specimens from both the Hawaiian Islands and EI, we came to the following conclusions: First, the size of 2.8 mm for the Hawaiian material, Kay (1979: 497), and 3.1 mm for the EI material, Rehder (1980: 106), is too close to be significant. Furthermore, none of the one hundred plus specimens collected by the senior author exceeded 3 mm.Second, not only the hinges but the dentition as well are very close. The Hawaiian specimens studied were within the range of Rehder’s species with 6–10 teeth. Kay (1979: 497) gave 10–11 teeth for adult Hawaiian specimens. Lastly, the decisive character, the lack of ventral ridges is non-existent. In well preserved EI specimens, these same ventral ridges are visible as in N. hawaiensis (Fig. 2 B). Moreover, the shape is identical, the depth ranges are comparable and the general biogeography matches for 40% of all EI bivalves. Unless strong genetic signals were to separate them, we see little reason for two species.
 Habitat. Commonly found around EI and SyG, in sand from 20–150 m.
 Distribution. Currently Nucula hawaiensis is known from the Hawaiian Islands, Easter and Salas y Gómez Islands, as well as the Austral Islands— E4.

description: The effect of strain on the magnetic order and band structure of single-layer CrAsS$_4$ has been investigated by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. We found that single-layer CrAsS$_4$ was an antiferromagnetic (AFM) semiconductor, and would have a phase transition from AFM state to ferromagnetic (FM) state by applying a uniaxial tensile strain of 2.99\% along the y-direction or compressive strain of 1.76\% along the x-direction. The underlying physical mechanism of strain-dependent magnetic stability was further elucidated as the result of the competition between the direct exchange and indirect superexchange interactions. Moreover, band gap exhibit a abrupt change along with phase transition of magnetic order. Our study provides an intuitional approach to design strain-modulated spintronic devices.

description: This paper shares challenges faced and overcome by four African American women on their 2013 journey to secure USDA’s Produce Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) Harmonized Food Safety Standards with the Global Addendum (Global Markets Primary Production Assessments: GMPPA). Collaboration, consistent training, and technical support from the Tuskegee University Extension and Research staff, and the Small Farmers Agricultural Cooperative undergirded the preparation of the farms for GAPs Certification. The timely sharing of staff expertise and experience from commercial partners (Walmart, Purivida, C.H. Robinson, W.P. Rawls), and support from the USDA (Strike Force Initiative) were important contributors to the positive outcomes described. The outcomes elucidate the adaptability, accountability, and professionalism each participant displayed to prepare her farm for audits; maintain food safety records, and achieve GAPs certification in marketable crops.
A search for 4750- and 4765-MHz OH masers in Southern Star Forming Regions

description: We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to make a sensitive (5-$σ$ $\simeq$ 100 mJy) search for maser emission from the 4765-MHz $^2Π_{1/2}$ F=1$\to$0 transition of OH. Fifty five star formation regions were searched and maser emission with a peak flux density in excess of 100 mJy was detected toward fourteen sites, with ten of these being new discoveries. In addition we observed the 4750-MHz $^2Π_{1/2}$ F=1$\to$1 transition towards a sample of star formation regions known to contain 1720-MHz OH masers, detecting marginal maser emission from G348.550-0.979. If confirmed this would be only the second maser discovered from this transition. The occurrence of 4765-MHz OH maser emission accompanying 1720-MHz OH masers in a small number of well studied star formation regions has lead to a general perception in the literature that the two transitions favour similar physical conditions. Our search has found that the presence of the excited-state 6035-MHz OH transition is a much better predictor of 4765-MHz OH maser emission from the same region than is 1720-MHz OH maser emission. Combining our results with those of previous high resolution observations of other OH transitions we have examined the published theoretical models of OH masers and find that none of them predict any conditions in which the 1665-, 6035- and 4765-MHz transitions are simultaneously inverted. Erratum abstract: Dodson & Ellingsen (2002) included several observations with significant pointing errors, invalidating the upper limits found in these directions. These have now been reobserved or recalculated. A new table of upper limits has been generated, and two more masers that would have been seen have been found.

We use these to depict diverse flat Cold Dark Matter models. With the background geometry specified by the Friedman-Robertson-Walker metric, we include among them the standard Cold Dark Matter, the Cosmological Constant Cold Dark Matter and the Dark Energy or Quintessence Cold Dark Matter models. After describing these models, we determine the position of the first Doppler peak of the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy spectrum for $Ω_T$ close to one; we also study the shift parameter $R$.

 Material examined. Over one hundred single valves (4.1 to 6.2 mm) from EI and SyG (BK), plus specimens from the Hawaiian and Marquesas Islands (MHU).
 Diagnosis. Shell small, elongated ovate, equivalve, inflated, not fragile. Umbones elevated. Posterior and anterior ends rounded. Ventral margin sinuous. Exterior surface of fine radial riblets and commarginal threads. Hinge consisting of numerous teeth separated under the umbones, slanted, and larger distally. Color creamy white.
 Remarks. All the EI specimens are exceedingly small, so it cannot be completely excluded that the current EI population may represent a distinct species. However, without strong genetic data to support it, there is no way to separate them. As with most families the EI material consists of smaller examples overall, which is probably due in part to a combination of the insular isolation, harsh environment and a scarce food supply.
 Habitat. Commonly found at many locations around EI and SyG, in sand, from 10–80 m.
 Distribution. Calloarca (Barbarca) tenella is a widely distributed species from eastern Africa to Marquesas Islands, Tuamotu Archipelago, Austral Islands and the Hawaiian Islands. However, it is not known from New Zealand or the Kermadec Islands. Easter and Salas y Gómez Islands are now considered a range extension— E5.

description: This case study examined methods used in a food safety/Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) educational program with small and limited resource produce farmers in Alabama to assist them with obtaining certification. Two methods were used, namely, the identification of challenges to food safety certification and development of strategies to address the challenges, and the enlistment of educational methods to facilitate food safety certification. As a result, there were four challenges to food safety certification identified; needs for motivation, information, clarification, and resources. In addition, the educational methods enlisted included group meetings, instructional material distribution, individual farm instruction, and expert instruction. The program was found to be limitedly successful, producing ten GAPs certified operations; further evaluation of the methods is needed.

Perovskite solar cells incorporating Co-doped spinel nickel cobaltite shown an increase in device performance parameters compared to un-doped spinel nickel cobaltite, leading to PCE of 16.5%. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements revealed the tendency of Cu cations to replace preferably the surface Ni atoms changing the surface stoichiometry of spinel nickel cobaltite inducing a cathodic polarization. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements unveiled the increase of the ionization potential by 0.1 eV for co-doped spinel nickel cobaltite film compare to undoped spinel nickel cobaltite-based hole transporting layer. We attribute the enhanced PCE of inverted perovskite solar cells presented due to improved hole extraction properties of co-doped spinel nickel cobaltite hole transporting layer.

description: Tuskegee University has been providing various types of technical expertise to limited resource farmers who have been supplying Walmart with collard greens, watermelons and purple hull peas. A number of pests bedevil the cultivation of these crops; cost-effective management methods for these pests are needed. The objectives of this paper are to document the IPM activities associated with supplying produce to Walmart; summarize pest problems encountered on the afore-stated crops; recommend IPM methods suitable for limited resource farmers; and suggest other activities that ensure that farmers incur even less pest-related crop losses. Anthracnose was the major pest encountered on watermelons. Some purple hull pea growers had problems with purple hull pea curculio and downy mildew. The major pests encountered on collard greens were diamond-back moth and downy mildew. Pesticide residues on vegetables produced and consumed in the U.S. and possible pest management practices that are responsible for these residues are discussed.

description: Alija Ali Izetbegović (1925-2003) is one of the outstanding Muslim thinkers in recent history who have re-conceptualized the Islamic worldview and ethos in the context of the contemporary world on the one hand and critically reflected upon the modern Western civilization, on the other. Izetbegović conceives Islam as a system representing a middle path between Christian spiritualism and materialism of modern civilization. However, like any profound philosophical system, his thought requires exposition and interpretation, which the present paper ventures to undertake. Specifically, the paper inquires whether and how far his vision of Islam facilitates coexistence between Muslims and the others, especially regarding the Muslims living in Western societies. The query is crucial because some writers have accused Izetbegović of being a fundamentalist who pursued an agenda of monolithic Islamic culture with little room for meaningful participation of non-Muslims. The paper concludes that contrary to such negative renderings of his thought, Izetbegović was a thinker with a vast intellectual spectrum and an open outlook. Some of his peculiar notions can be conducive to the coexistence between Muslims and other European communities as well as Islamic culture and Western civilization.

description: We present in detail a theoretical model for fragmentation reactions of three--body halo nuclei. The different reaction mechanisms corresponding to the different processes are described and discussed. Coulomb and nuclear interactions are simultaneously included and the method is therefore applicable for any target, light, intermediate and heavy. Absolute values of many differential cross sections are then available as function of beam energy and target. We apply the method to fragmentation of $^6$He and $^{11}$Li on C, Cu and Pb. A large variety of observables, cross sections and momentum distributions, are computed. In almost all cases we obtain good agreement with the available experimental data.

description: This paper investigates the effect of drinking arsenic contaminated water on mental health. Drinking water with an unsafe arsenic level for a prolonged period can lead to arsenicosis and associated illness. Based on rich and newly collected household survey data from Bangladesh, we construct several measures for arsenic contamination that include the actual arsenic level in the respondent’s tubewell (TW), and past institutional arsenic test results as well as their physical and mental health. To account for potential endogeneity of water source, we take advantage of the quasi-randomness of arsenic distribution and employ the pre-1999 use of TW as an instrument and structural modelling as alternatives for robustness checks. We find that suffering from an arsenicosis symptom is strongly negatively related to mental health, even more so than from other illnesses. Calculations of the costs of arsenic contamination reveal that the average individual would need to be compensated for suffering from an arsenicosis symptom by an amount of money over 10 percent of annual household income.

description: The present work deals with quantum cosmology for non-minimally coupled scalar field in the background of FLRW space--time model. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation is constructed and symmetry analysis is carried out. The Lie point symmetries are related to the conformal algebra of the minisuperspace while solution of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is obtained using conserved currents of the Noether symmetries.

Supersymmetric Tensor Model at Large $N$ and Small $ε$

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the $O(N)^3$ supersymmetric quantum field theory of a scalar superfield $Φ_{abc}$ with a tetrahedral interaction. In the large $N$ limit the theory is dominated by the melonic diagrams. We solve the corresponding Dyson-Schwinger equations in continuous dimensions below $3$. For sufficiently large $N$ we find an IR stable fixed point and computed the $3-ε$ expansion up to the second order of perturbation theory, which is in agreement with the solution of DS equations. We also describe the $1+ε$ expansion of the model and discuss the possiblity of adding the Chern-Simons action to gauge the supersymmetric model.

 Material examined. Several articulated specimens and more than two dozen single valves (3.2 to 23.1 mm) from EI (BK), plus specimens from the Hawaiian and Marquesas Islands (MHU), Saipan (BK), Kwajalein Atoll (BK)and Pitcairn Island (BK).
 Diagnosis. “Shell generally small, but occasionally reaching a length of 35 mm, very irregular in growth form, main part of shell broadly ovate, anterior wing above byssal sinus short or absent, ventrally irregularly prolonged to varying length; early part of shell externally sculptured with irregular concentric lamellae, prolongation irregularly rugose and often showing blister-like laminations; color whitish often with irregular reddish purple maculations. Internally the main nacreous part of shell is sharply delimited from the ventral extension by its margin which may be strongly raised; the left valve is usually more deeply cupped than the RV, and both valves are whitish or golden in color, occasionally infused in places with purplish red; the shelly prolongation often shows a subcentral pallial ridge running partway down the prolongation.” (Rehder 1980: 108, of M. maculosus Reeve, 1858.)
 Remarks. Rehder's diagnosis of this highly polymorphic species is one of the best ever reviewed and has been included.
 Without genetic data a distinct Polynesian/Easter Island species cannot be substantiated. Morphologically there are no obvious differences to the Pan-pacific M. regulus.
 Habitat. Commonly found at many locations around EI, in sand, from 0–80 m.
 Distribution. Malleus regulus was originally described from the Suez, Red Sea, but is widely distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific, introduced into the Mediterranean, and is also known from eastern Africa, the Philippines, Micronesia, Marquesas Islands, Tuamotu Archipelago, Gambier Islands, Australia, Easter islands, the Hawaiian Islands and from the Panamic area (Coan, pers. comm., 2010). However, it is unreported from New Zealand or the Kermadec Islands— E6.

description: This article studies the structure of the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy with an emphasis on the question of whether the spatial distribution of its stars has been affected by the tidal interaction with the Milky Way, using R- and V-band CCD photometry for eleven fields. The article reports coordinates for the center, a position angle of the major axis, and the ellipticity. It also reports the results of searches for asymmetries in the structure of Draco. These results, and searches for a ``break'' in the radial profile and for the presence of principal sequences of Draco in a color-magnitude diagram for regions more than 50 arcmin from the center, yield no evidence that tidal forces from the Milky Way have affected the structure of Draco.

Vortex and Surface Phase Transitions in Superconducting Higher-order Topological Insulators

description: Topological insulators (TIs) having intrinsic or proximity-coupled s-wave superconductivity host Majorana zero modes (MZMs) at the ends of vortex lines. The MZMs survive up to a critical doping of the TI at which there is a vortex phase transition that eliminates the MZMs. In this work, we show that the phenomenology in higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) can be qualitatively distinct. In particular, we find two distinct features. (i) We find that vortices placed on the gapped (side) surfaces of the HOTI, exhibit a pair of phase transitions as a function of doping. The first transition is a surface phase transition after which MZMs appear. The second transition is the well-known vortex phase transition. We find that the surface transition appears because of the competition between the superconducting gap and the local $\mathcal{T}$-breaking gap on the surface. (ii) We present numerical evidence that shows strong variation of the critical doping for the vortex phase transition as the center of the vortex is moved toward or away from the hinges of the sample. We believe our work provides new phenomenology that can help identify HOTIs, as well as illustrating a promising platform for the realization of MZMs.
