description: Recently developed self-assembly strategies allow to rationally reduce the symmetry of metallosupramolecular architectures. In addition, the combination of multiple ligand types without creating compound mixtures has become possible. Among several approaches to realize non-statistical heteroleptic assembly, Coordination Sphere Engineering (CSE) makes use of secondary repulsive or attractive interactions in direct vicinity of the metal nodes. Previously, we used steric congestion to turn dinuclear [Pd2L4] cages with fourfold symmetry into [Pd2L3X2] (X = solvent, halide) bowl structures. Here, we introduce a new subtype of this strategy based on balancing hydrogen bonding and repulsive interactions between ligands carrying quinoline (LQu) and 1,8-naphthyridine (LNa) donors to generate trans-[Pd2L2Image ID:d1sc06931d-t1.gif] and [Pd2L3L′] cages, assisted by templation of encapsulated fullerenes. Combined with steric congestion caused by acridine (LAc) donors, we further report the first example of a heteroleptic [Pd2L2L′X2] bowl. Formation, structure and fullerene binding ability of these metallo-supramolecular hosts were studied by NMR, mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray diffraction.

description: Cosmic rays are energetic nuclei that permeate the entire Galactic disk. Their existence requires the presence of powerful particle accelerators. While Galactic supernova explosions may supply the required energy, there is growing evidence that they cannot explain all of the observed properties of cosmic rays, such as their maximum particle energy and isotopic composition. Among Galactic objects, winds from stellar clusters meet the energetic requirement and provide a suitable environment for particle acceleration. The recent detection of some of these objects in gamma rays confirms that they indeed harbor high-energy particles.However, as most supernovae explode inside stellar clusters, it is difficult to distinguish the contribution of winds to particle acceleration. Here we report the detection of young star clusters in the nearby Vela molecular ridge star forming region. The young age of the systems guarantees an unbiased estimate of the stellar CR luminosity free from any supernova or pulsar contamination and allows us to draw conclusions on the acceleration efficiency and the total power supplied by these objects. We demonstrate that much more than 1% of the wind mechanical power is converted into CRs and consequently conclude that a small but non-negligible fraction ~ 1-10% of the CR population is contributed by stellar clusters.

description: Camera-based computer vision is essential to autonomous vehicle's perception. This paper presents an attack that uses light-emitting diodes and exploits the camera's rolling shutter effect to create adversarial stripes in the captured images to mislead traffic sign recognition. The attack is stealthy because the stripes on the traffic sign are invisible to human. For the attack to be threatening, the recognition results need to be stable over consecutive image frames. To achieve this, we design and implement GhostStripe, an attack system that controls the timing of the modulated light emission to adapt to camera operations and victim vehicle movements. Evaluated on real testbeds, GhostStripe can stably spoof the traffic sign recognition results for up to 94\% of frames to a wrong class when the victim vehicle passes the road section. In reality, such attack effect may fool victim vehicles into life-threatening incidents. We discuss the countermeasures at the levels of camera sensor, perception model, and autonomous driving system.

description: Deep elemental composition is a challenging measurement to achieve in the giant planets of the solar system. Yet, knowledge of the deep composition offers important insights in the internal structure of these planets, their evolutionary history and their formation scenarios. A key element whose deep abundance is difficult to obtain is oxygen, because of its propensity for being in condensed phases such as rocks and ices. In the atmospheres of the giant planets, oxygen is largely stored in water molecules that condense below the observable levels. At atmospheric levels that can be investigated with remote sensing, water abundance can modify the observed meteorology, and meteorological phenomena can distribute water through the atmosphere in complex ways that are not well understood and that encompass deeper portions of the atmosphere. The deep oxygen abundance provides constraints on the connection between atmosphere and interior and on the processes by which other elements were trapped, making its determination an important element to understand giant planets. In this paper, we review the current constraints on the deep oxygen abundance of the giant planets, as derived from observations and thermochemical models.

description: Viral metagenomics of feces collected from 58 Peruvian children with unexplained diarrhea revealed several small circular ssDNA genomes. Two genomes related to sequences previously reported in feces from chimpanzees and other mammals and recently named smacoviruses were characterized and then detected by PCR in 1.7 % (1/58) and 19 % (11/58) of diarrheal samples, respectively. Another three genomes from a distinct small circular ssDNA viral group provisionally called pecoviruses encoded Cap and Rep proteins with <35 % identity to those in related genomes reported in human, seal, porcine and dromedary feces. Pecovirus DNA was detected in 15.5 % (9/58), 5.9 % (3/51) and 3 % (3/100) of fecal samples from unexplained diarrhea in Peru, Nicaragua and Chile, respectively. Feces containing these ssDNA genomes also contained known human enteric viral pathogens. The cellular origins of these circular ssDNA viruses, whether human cells, ingested plants, animals or fungal foods, or residents of the gut microbiome, are currently unknown.

description: Flow-Induced Vibrations (FIV) of an elastically mounted circular cylinder are investigated by means of two-dimensional simulations. A mechanical coupling between cross-flow translation and rotation provides a single degree-of-freedom system in which the coupled rotational oscillations affect the fluid-structure dynamics. The structural response of this system is investigated exploring the design space spanned by reduced velocity, coupling radius, and phase density ratio. The kinematic coupling introduces the rotation-induced shear layer modifications, as well as an equivalent inertia effect connected to the coupling force. Such a computational campaign is carried out by means of direct numerical simulations with immersed boundary forcing at a Reynolds number equal to 100. The investigated system exhibits the wake-body synchronisation features typical of lock-in for non-rotating cylinders. However, the kinematic coupling provides a novel FIV scenario, in which the oscillation amplitude is magnified in the locked configurations with respect to the forced rotation case. Furthermore, it is found a significant widening of the reduced velocity domain where the lock-in condition takes place. In view of the proposed analyses, it is determined that the coupled rotation guarantees the phase alignment between lift and displacement necessary to sustain the lock-in condition, making the oscillation amplitude grow indefinitely with the reduced velocity. This is inherently achieved due to the rotational shear layer and the added mass contribution, which prevent the exact match between oscillation frequency and system natural frequency in vacuum. The outcomes of this study might potentially lead to innovative water energy harvesters offering larger power outputs and extended optimal operating regions.

description: Background: Human health is fundamentally determined by the health of ecosystems. Guidance is lacking about how to address the topic of ecosystems within medical education. Aims: To determine the nature of discussions around ecosystems in the educational, medical and medical education literature. To identify learning needs of tomorrow’s doctors. Methods: A narrative synthesis approach was used. Systematic searches were completed in 14 databases. Two independent reviewers screened results. Preliminary synthesis included textual descriptions and quality appraisal. Data were analysed using the Education for Sustainable Healthcare framework and thematic analysis. Relationships between studies were explored. Best evidence synthesis, contacting authors of primary studies and critical reflection reinforced robustness. Results: Six thousand seven hundred and fifty-three abstracts and 123 full texts were screened. Twenty-seven studies were included. Many studies lacked clear reporting. Medical students and doctors displayed knowledge about ecosystems, but lacked confidence to enact sustainable practices. Education about causes and consequences of environmental change is required. Few studies proposed specific learning objectives. Conclusions: To prepare for roles as health care workers and leaders, medical students must learn about relationships between ecosystems, health and health care. The Education for Sustainable Healthcare framework outlines essential knowledge and attitudes but requires addition of practical competencies. Further research should explore the framework’s relevance in different contexts, in order to structure training accordingly.

description: We propose an accelerated path-following iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithm (APISTA) for solving high-dimensional sparse nonconvex learning problems. The main difference between APISTA and the path-following iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithm (PISTA) is that APISTA exploits an additional coordinate descent subroutine to boost the computational performance. Such a modification, though simple, has profound impact: APISTA not only enjoys the same theoretical guarantee as that of PISTA, that is, APISTA attains a linear rate of convergence to a unique sparse local optimum with good statistical properties, but also significantly outperforms PISTA in empirical benchmarks. As an application, we apply APISTA to solve a family of nonconvex optimization problems motivated by estimating sparse semiparametric graphical models. APISTA allows us to obtain new statistical recovery results that do not exist in the existing literature. Thorough numerical results are provided to back up our theory.

description: Worldwide, the fat composition of spreads and margarines (“spreads”) has significantly changed over the past decades. Data on fat composition of US spreads are limited and outdated. This paper compares the fat composition of spreads sold in 2013 to that sold in 2002 in the USA. The fat composition of 37 spreads representing >80% of the US market sales volume was determined by standard analytical methods. Sales volume weighted averages were calculated. In 2013, a 14 g serving of spread contained on average 7.1 g fat and 0.2 g trans-fatty acids and provided 22% and 15% of the daily amounts recommended for male adults in North America of omega-3 α-linolenic acid and omega-6 linoleic acid, respectively. Our analysis of the ingredient list on the food label showed that 86% of spreads did not contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVO) in 2013. From 2002 to 2013, based on a 14 g serving, total fat and trans-fatty acid content of spreads decreased on average by 2.2 g and 1.5 g, respectively. In the same period, the overall fat composition improved as reflected by a decrease of solid fat (from 39% to 30% of total-fatty acids), and an increase of unsaturated fat (from 61% to 70% of total-fatty acids). The majority of US spreads no longer contains PHVO and can contribute to meeting dietary recommendations by providing unsaturated fat.

description: The aim of this Guide is to support teacher with the responsibility of designing, delivering and/or assessing diversity education. Although, the focus is on medical education, the guidance is relevant to all healthcare professionals. The Guide begins by providing an overview of the definitions used and the principles that underpin the teaching of diversity as advocated by Diversity and Medicine in Health (DIMAH). Following an outline of these principles we highlight the difference between equality and diversity education. The Guide then covers diversity education throughout the educational process from the philosophical stance of educators and how this influences the approaches used through to curriculum development, delivery and assessment. Appendices contain practical examples from across the UK, covering lesson plans and specific exercises to deliver teaching. Although, diversity education remains variable and fragmented there is now some momentum to ensure that the principles of good educational practice are applied to diversity education. The nature of this topic means that there are a range of different professions and medical disciplines involved which leads to a great necessity for greater collaboration and sharing of effective practice.

description: Background: Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors lower blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by increasing urinary glucose excretion. This review provides a comprehensive summary of preclinical and clinical data on the effects of the SGLT2 inhibitor canagliflozin on mineral balance and bone. Methods: Published articles and internal study reports through November 2015 were included. Results: In clinical studies, canagliflozin was not associated with meaningful changes in serum or urine calcium, parathyroid hormone, or vitamin D. Canagliflozin was associated with increases in serum magnesium and phosphate without changes in their urinary excretion. Increases in serum collagen type-1 beta-carboxy-telopeptide (beta-CTX), a bone resorption marker, and osteocalcin, a bone formation marker, were observed with canagliflozin. Decreases in total hip bone mineral density (BMD) of up to 1.2% were seen with canagliflozin after 2 years; no changes in BMD were seen at other skeletal sites. Changes in total hip BMD and serum beta-CTX with canagliflozin correlated with decreases in body weight. In a clinical program-wide analysis, canagliflozin was associated with increased fracture risk that was driven by a higher incidence in the cardiovascular safety study (CANVAS), with no fracture imbalance seen in pooled data from other Phase 3 studies. The fracture imbalance occurred within 12 weeks after initiating treatment, most frequently in the distal portion of the upper and lower extremities. Conclusions: Across clinical studies, canagliflozin did not meaningfully affect calcium homeostasis or hormones regulating calcium homeostasis. Increases in bone turnover markers and decreases in BMD at the total hip, but not at other sites, that correlated with weight loss were seen with canagliflozin. Canagliflozin was associated with a higher fracture incidence within 12 weeks, primarily in distal extremities. Data from ongoing canagliflozin studies will provide additional information on fracture risk.

description: The Cultural Gutter (http://theculturalgutter.com/) is a great example of how wonderful the web can be. As with most things on the web, it was a site that I found through various and sundry links and recommendations from other places. It’s full of insightful articles on the art and craft found in our popular culture. And it was far enough along in its history, that I got to enjoy digging into their archive of past articles and relishing the discovery of a new site full of great content to read. The editors focus their critical eyes on science fiction, comics, romance, movies and games. And every Thursday they post a new article on one of these topics, so it has become a regular visit for me each week. The Cultural Gutter covers topics that resonate with the focus of ETC Press on issues revolving around entertainment technologies and how they can are applied across a variety of fields. With this in mind, ETC Press worked together with the Cultural Gutter editors to create this book. Science fiction/fantasy editor James Schellenberg, comics editor and publisher Carol Borden, romance editor Chris Szego, screen editor Ian Driscoll and founding editor and former games editor Jim Munroe, each chose ten of their favorite articles to share. And then ETC Alum, Eun Jung Lee, designed information graphics to introduce each section, as well as specific interpretative graphics for ten of the articles. The resulting book is a great introduction to the Cultural Gutter, and serves as the tip of the iceberg. Hopefully, it will entice you into visiting the website to enjoy the thoughtful discussion around the wonderfully entertaining world of popular culture. As they quote Oscar Wilde on their site, “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” Enjoy!

description: A new acylated and triterpenoidal saponin, named GS1, was isolated from the roots of Gypsophila arrostii Guss. On the basis of acid hydrolysis, comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison with spectral data of known compounds, its structure was established as 3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)]-β-D-glucopyranosyl-{21-O-[(E)-3,4,5trimethoxycinnamoyl]}21-hydroxygypsogenin 28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)- [β-D-arabinopyranosyl-(1→3)]-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→3]-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl ester. This paper deals with the isolation and structural elucidation of new acylated and oleanane-type saponin.
title: Collective and individual burial practices. Changing patterns at the beginning of the third millennium BC: The megalithic grave of Altendorf
Creators: name: Rinne, Christoph

description: The re-analyses of the Altendorf gallery grave reveal three different phases of inhumation burial practices: collective burials of a whole community (3250–3100 BC), a hiatus in burial practice (3100–2600 BC), and fewer but continuous single inhumations (2600–1450 BC). These changes can be associated with the abandonment of collective social practices all over Central Europe at the end of the fourth millennium BC, and the establishment of new ideologies and the re-use of older monuments by 2600 BC. In Altendorf, this last phase extends to the next pan-European change in burial practices, and reveals an enduring relationship with a local burial monument.

description: In this study, we investigate signature flips within the framework of cosmological models featuring a time-varying vacuum energy term $Λ(t)$. Specifically, we consider the power-law form of $Λ=αH^n$, where $α$ and $n$ are constants. To constrain the model parameters, we use the MCMC technique, allowing for effective exploration of the model's parameters. We apply this approach to analyze 31 points of observational Hubble Data (OHD), 1048 points from the Pantheon data, and additional CMB data. We consider three scenarios: when $n$ is a free parameter (Case I), when $n=0$ (Case II), and when $n=1$ (Case III). In our analysis across all three cases, we observe that our model portrays the universe's evolution from a matter-dominated decelerated epoch to an accelerated epoch, as indicated by the corresponding deceleration parameter. In addition, we investigate the physical behavior of total energy density, total EoS parameter, and jerk parameter. Our findings consistently indicate that all cosmological parameters predict an accelerated expansion phase of the universe for all three cases ($q_0<0$, $ω_0<-\frac{1}{3}$, $j_0>0$). Furthermore, our analysis reveals that the $Om(z)$ diagnostics for Cases I and III align with the quintessence region, while Case II corresponds to the $Λ$CDM model.

description: In this work, titanomagnetite nanoparticles (Fe3-xTixO4) have been used as a novel suppport for the synthesis of a magnetic acidic catalyst. These nanoparticles were functionalized with sulfonic acid groups to prepare the Fe3-xTixO4@SO3H nanoparticles. The synthesized acidic nanoparticles have been explored as new and efficient recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for a one-pot, three-component synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans known as 4H-chromenes and 1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. The structure of the catalyst was established by infrared, energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy analyses. The reactions proceed smoothly to furnish the respective products in excellent yields and short reaction times. The facile reaction conditions, easy isolation of the products, versatility, and easy magnetic separation and reusability of the catalyst with no significant loss of activity are the main merits of the present method.

description: This dissertation presents a collection of algorithmsdeveloped for automatically extracting useful information from lidar data exclusively. The algorithms focus on automated extraction of DTMs, 3-D roads and buildingsutilizing single- or multi-return lidar range and intensity data. The hierarchical terrain recovery algorithm can intelligently discriminate between terrain and non-terrain lidar points by adaptive and robust filtering. It processes the range data bottom up and top down to estimate high quality DTMs using the hierarchical strategy. Road ribbons are detected by classifying lidar intensity and height data. The 3-D grid road networks are reconstructed using a sequential Hough transformation, and are verified using road ribbons and lidar-derived DTMs. The attributes of road segments including width, length and slope are computed. Building models are created with a high level of accuracy. The building boundaries are detected by segmenting lidar height data. A sequential linking technique is proposed to reconstruct building boundaries to regular polygons, which are then rectified to be of cartographical quality. Then prismatic models are created for flat roof buildings, and polyhedral models are created for non-flat roof buildings by theincremental selective refining and vertical wall rectification procedures. Many attributes of these building models are derived from the lidar data. These algorithms have beentested using many lidar datasets of varying terrain type, coverage type and point density. The results show that in most areas the lidar-derived DTMs retain most terrain details and remove non-terrain objects reliably; the road ribbons and grid road networks are sketched well in built-up areas; and the extracted building footprints have high positioning accuracy equivalent to ground-truth data surveyed in field. A toolkit, called Lidar Expert, has been developed to bundle these algorithms and to offer the capability of performing fast information extraction from lidar data.

description: Aiming at the differences between real-time model and reference image such as pose changing, scale changing, geometric distortion and occlusion which are stem from orientation relationships, i.e. spatial displacement, tilt, pan and scroll between imaging systems of real-timemodel and reference image, we briefly survey the research conditions on image matching techniques, and systematically discussed several aspects on fundamental computing theories of template matching techniques, including feature space, imaging geometry, transformation space, matching measures and search strategies, then work out a complete hierarchical hybrid genetic matching algorithm based on adaptive robust Hausdorff distance (HHGMA-ARHD) and a corresponding simulation experimental system for target localization, thus preliminarily build a brand new technical framework for point-set template matching. In this paper, we mainly analyze several important problems on template matching techniques, and creatively bring up their solution approaches. The results of algorithm’s performance analyses and simulated experiments show thatHHGMA-ARHD algorithm is an effective and potential matching algorithm that is competent for urban target recognition and localization.
