description: There is a great variety of exercises for scoliosis offered worldwide many of them with little benefit for the patient. We distinguish between unspecific and specific exercises. Specific physiotherapy may have a significant influence on many signs and symptoms of a scoliosis. This, however has up to now only been proven for the Schroth method and in part for the Schroth Best PracticeÔ program as well. Purpose of this study was to investigate the amount of corrections possible with respect to the spinal curvature and trunk deformity. Materials and methods. This is a prospective short-term cohort study. 60 patients with idiopathic scoliosis regularly treated at our department with the Schroth Best PracticeÔ program have been followed up prospectively for at least two months. Average age was 16 years (11 – 19 years), average Cobb angle thoracic was 23.5° (6 – 56°), lumbar 21.2° (6 - 52°). Average ATR (Angle of trunk rotation) thoracic was 8° (3 – 18°) and lumbar 7.9° (2 – 17°). Results. The follow-up period was 2,9 months. During this time the average thoracic Cobb angle decreased from 23.5° to 18.2° (-5.3°; p < 0,05). Lumbar Cobb angle decreased from 21.2° to 15.7° (- 5.5°; p < 0.01). Thoracic ATR decreased from 8° to 5.6° (- 2.4°; p < 0.01) while lumbar ATR decreased from 7.9° to 5.7°(- 2.2°; p < 0.01). The subset of patients with Cobb angles exceeding 30° experienced a correction of more than 9° (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The Schroth Best PracticeÔ program is highly effective with respect to improvements of spinal curves and trunk deformity. Curvatures exceeding 30° show better results than smaller curvatures. The out-patient Schroth Best PracticeÔ program seems to provide better results than intensive in-patient rehabilitation using the old Schroth standard still in use today. In phases of little growth or in the outgrown patient this program can be used as the sole form of treatment. In phases of high growth velocity bracing is indicated primarily. Here this program is used as an adjunct to bracing regularly.

description: Visceral adiposity confers significant risk for developing metabolic disease in obesitywhereas preferential expansion of subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) appears protective.Unlike subcutaneous WAT, visceral WAT is resistant to adopting a protective thermogenicphenotype characterized by the accumulation of Ucp1+ beige/BRITE adipocytes (termed‘browning’). In this study, we investigated the physiological consequences of browning murinevisceral WAT by selective genetic ablation of Zfp423, a transcriptional suppressor of the adipocytethermogenic program. Zfp423 deletion in fetal visceral adipose precursors (Zfp423loxP/loxP; Wt1-Cre), or adult visceral white adipose precursors (PdgfrbrtTA; TRE-Cre; Zfp423loxP/loxP), results in theaccumulation of beige-like thermogenic adipocytes within multiple visceral adipose depots.Thermogenic visceral WAT improves cold tolerance and prevents and reverses insulin resistance inobesity. These data indicate that beneficial visceral WAT browning can be engineered by directingvisceral white adipocyte precursors to a thermogenic adipocyte fate, and suggest a novel strategyto combat insulin resistance in obesity.

description: The UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-N-acetylmuramyl-(pentapeptide) pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenol N-acetylglucosamine transferase (MurG) is located in plasma membrane which plays a crucial role for peptidoglycan biosynthesis in Gram-negative bacteria. Recently, this protein is considered as an important and unique drug target in Acinetobacter baumannii since it plays a key role during the synthesis of peptidoglycan as well as which is not found in Homo sapiens. In this study, initially we performed comparative protein modeling approach to predict the three-dimensional model of MurG based on crystal structure of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-N-acetylmuramyl-(pentapeptide) pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenol N-acetylglucosamine transferase (PDB ID: 1F0K) from E.coli K12. MurG model has two important functional domains located in N and C- terminus which are separated by a deep cleft. Active site residues are located between two domains and they are Gly20, Arg170, Gly200, Ser201, Gln227, Phe254, Leu275, Thr276, and Glu279 which play essential role for the function of MurG. In order to inhibit the function of MurG, we employed the High Throughput Virtual Screening (HTVS) and docking techniques to identify the promising molecules which will further subjected into screening for computing their drug like and pharmacokinetic properties. From the HTVS, we identified 5279 molecules, among these, 12 were passed the drug-like and pharmacokinetic screening analysis. Based on the interaction analysis in terms of binding affinity, inhibition constant and intermolecular interactions, we selected four molecules for further MD simulation to understand the structural stability of protein-ligand complexes. All the analysis of MD simulation suggested that ZINC09186673 and ZINC09956120 are identified as most promising putative inhibitors for MurG protein in A. baumannii. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

description: Ionic liquid gating has been used to modify properties of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), including two-dimensional (2D) crystals of TMDCs used extensively recently in the device work, which has led to observations of properties not seen in the bulk. The main effect comes from the electrostatic gating due to strong electric field at the interface. In addition, ionic liquid gating also leads to ion intercalation when the ion size of gate electrolyte is small compared to the interlayer spacing of TMDCs. However, the microscopic processes of ion intercalation have rarely been explored in layered TMDCs. Here, we employed a technique combining photolithography device fabrication and electrical transport measurements on the thin crystals of hexagonal TaSe2 using multiple channel devices gated by a polymer electrolyte LiClO4/PEO. The gate voltage and time dependent source-drain resistances of these thin crystals were used to obtain information on the intercalation process, the effect of ion intercalation, and the correlation between the ion occupation of allowed interstitial sites and the device characteristics. We found a gate voltage controlled modulation of the charge density waves and scattering rate of charge carriers. Our work suggests that ion intercalation can be a useful tool for layered materials engineering and 2D crystal device design.

description: We report a theoretical study on the deviations of the Meissner penetration depth $λ(T)$ from its London value in d-wave superconductors at low temperatures. The difference arises from low-energy surface Andreev bound states. The temperature dependent penetration depth is shown to go through a minimum at the temperature $T_{m0}\sim \sqrt{ξ_0/λ_0}T_c$ if the broadening of the bound states is small. The minimum will straighten out when the broadening reaches $T_{m0}$. The impurity scattering sets up the low-temperature anomalies of the penetration depth and destroys them when the mean free path is not sufficiently large. A phase transition to a state with spontaneous surface supercurrent is investigated and its critical temperature determined in the absence of a subdominant channel activated at low temperatures near the surface. Nonlinear corrections from Andreev low-energy bound states to the penetration length are obtained and shown, on account of their broadening, to be small in the Meissner state of strong type II superconductors.

description: We examine the effect of the magnetic frustration J' on the single-hole spectral function in the t-t'-t''-J model. At zero temperature, the exact diagonalization (ED) and the self-consistent Born approximation (SCBA) methods are used. We find that the frustration suppresses the quasiparticle (QP) weight at small momentum k, whereas the QP peak at k=(pi/2,pi/2) remains sharp. We also show the temperature dependence of the single-hole spectral function by using the ED method. It is found that the lineshapes at (pi/2,0) and (pi/2,pi/2) show different temperature dependence. These findings are consistent with the angle-resolved photoemission data on Sr2CuO2Cl2, and indicate the importance of the magnetic frustration on the electronic states of the insulating cuprates.

description: We have simulated encounters between planetary systems and single stars in various clustered environments. This allows us to estimate the fraction of systems liberated, the velocity distribution of the liberated planets, and the separation and eccentricity distributions of the surviving bound systems. Our results indicate that, for an initial distribution of orbits that is flat in log space and extends out to 50AU, 50% of the available planets can be liberated in a globular cluster, 25% in an open cluster, and less than 10% in a young cluster. These fractions are reduced to 25%, 12% and 2% if the initial population extends only to 20AU. Furthermore, these free-floating planets can be retained for longer than a crossing time only in a massive globular cluster. It is therefore difficult to see how planets, which by definition form in a disc around a young star, could be subsequently liberated to form a significant population of free floating substellar objects in a cluster.

description: We develop a manifestly conformal approach to describe linearised (super)conformal higher-spin gauge theories in arbitrary conformally flat backgrounds in three and four spacetime dimensions. Closed-form expressions in terms of gauge prepotentials are given for gauge-invariant higher-spin (super) Cotton and (super) Weyl tensors in three and four dimensions, respectively. The higher-spin (super) Weyl tensors are shown to be conformal primary (super)fields in arbitrary conformal (super)gravity backgrounds, however they are gauge invariant only if the background (super) Weyl tensor vanishes. The proposed higher-spin actions are (super) Weyl-invariant on arbitrary curved backgrounds, however the appropriate higher-spin gauge invariance holds only in the conformally flat case. We also describe conformal models for generalised gauge fields that are used to describe partially massless dynamics in three and four dimensions. In particular, generalised higher-spin Cotton and Weyl tensors are introduced.

description: In a magnetic field, spin-ladders undergo two zero-temperature phase transitions at the critical fields Hc1 and Hc2. An experimental review of static and dynamical properties of spin-ladders close to these critical points is presented. The scaling functions, universal to all quantum critical points in one-dimension, are extracted from (a) the thermodynamic quantities (magnetization) and (b) the dynamical functions (NMR relaxation). A simple mapping of strongly coupled spin ladders in a magnetic field on the exactly solvable XXZ model enables to make detailed fits and gives an overall understanding of a broad class of quantum magnets in their gapless phase (between Hc1 and Hc2). In this phase, the low temperature divergence of the NMR relaxation demonstrates its Luttinger liquid nature as well as the novel quantum critical regime at higher temperature. The general behaviour close these quantum critical points can be tied to known models of quantum magnetism.

description: Zfp423 is a multi zinc-finger transcription factor expressed in preadipocytes and mature adipocytes in vivo. Our recent work hasrevealed a critical role for Zfp423 in maintaining the fate of white adipocytes in adult mice through suppression of the beige cell thermogenic geneprogram; loss of Zfp423 in mature adipocytes of adult mice results in a white-to-beige phenotypic switch. However, the exact requirements ofZfp423 in the fetal stages of early adipose development in vivo have not been clarified.Here, we utilize two models that confer adipose-specific Zfp423 inactivation during fetal adipose development (Adiponectin-Cre;Zfp423loxP/loxP and Adiponectin-rtTA; TRE-Cre; Zfp423loxP/loxP). We assess the impact of fetal adipose Zfp423 deletion on the initial formation ofadipose tissue and evaluate the metabolic consequences of challenging these animals with high-fat diet feeding.Deletion of Zfp423 during fetal adipose development results in a different phenotype than is observed when deleting Zfp423 in adipocytesof adult mice. Inactivation of Zfp423 during fetal adipose development results in arrested differentiation, specifically of inguinal whiteadipocytes, rather than a white-to-beige phenotypic switch that occurs when Zfp423 is inactivated in adult mice. This is likely explained by theobservation that adiponectin driven Cre expression is active at an earlier stage of the adipocyte life cycle during fetal subcutaneous adiposedevelopment than in adult mice. Upon high-fat diet feeding, obese adipose Zfp423-deficient animals undergo a pathological adipose tissueexpansion, associated with ectopic lipid deposition and systemic insulin resistance.Our results reveal that Zfp423 is essential for the terminal differentiation of subcutaneous white adipocytes during fetal adiposetissue development. Moreover, our data highlight the striking adverse effects of pathological subcutaneous adipose tissue remodeling on visceraladipose function and systemic nutrient homeostasis in obesity. Importantly, these data reveal the distinct phenotypes that can occur whenadiponectin driven transgenes are activated in fetal vs. adult adipose tissue.

description: How carbon nanotubes behave in an external electric field? What will be the relation between the intensity of the electric field and the tube's deformation? What are the geometry effects on the response of carbon nanotubes to electric fields? To answer these questions, we have developed a new combined computational technique to study electrostatic field induced deformations of carbon nanotubes. In this work, we find that the deflection angle of cantilevered semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes is proportional to the square of the electric field strength, and the tubes can be most bent when the field angle ranges from 45 to 60 degrees. Furthermore, the deflection angle is also found to be proportional to the aspect ratio L/R. Our results provide a good qualitative agreement with those of one previous experimental study.

description: The detection of anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background on arcminute scales by the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) provides us with our first measurement of the damping tail and closes one chapter in the CMB story. We now have experimental verification for all of the features in the temperature anisotropy spectrum predicted theoretically two decades ago. The CBI result allows us to constrain both parameterized models based on the inflationary cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm and to examine model independent constraints on the matter content, the distance to last scattering and the thickness of the last scattering surface. By providing a lower limit on the duration of recombination it implies a lower limit on the polarization of the sub-degree scale anisotropy which is close to current experimental upper limits.

description: We generalize $f(R)$-theory of anti-evaporation/evaporation for a Reissner-Nordström black hole in $n$-dimensional space-time. We consider non-linear conformally invariant Maxwell field. By perturbing the fields over Nariai-like space-time associated with degenerate horizon, we describe dynamical behavior of horizon. We show that $f(R)$-gravity can offer both anti-evaporation and evaporation in $n$-dimensional Reissner-Nordström black hole depending on the dimension $n$ and the functional form of $f(R)$. Furthermore, we argue that, in one class of non-oscillatory solution, stable and unstable anti-evaporation/evaporation exist. In the other class of oscillatory solution anti-evaporation/evaporation exists only with instability. The first class of solution may explain a long-lived black hole.

description: We consider a simple model for a superlattice composed of a thin magnetic film placed between two bulk superconductors. The magnetic film is modelled by a planar but otherwise arbitrary distribution of magnetic dipoles and the superconductors are treated in the London approximation. Due to the linearity of the problem, we are able to compute the magnetic energy of the film in the presence of the superconductors. We show that in the case of small wavenumbers compared to the inverse London penetration depth, the magnetic energy resembles the energy of a distribution of magnetisation in a two dimensional space. Possible experimental applications of these results are discussed.

description: Malignant melanoma typically metastasizes to lymph nodes (LNs) as a primary or in-transit lesion before
secondary metastasis occurs, and LN biopsy is a common procedure to diagnose melanoma progression.
Since cancer metastasis is a complex process where various interactions between tumor cells and the
stroma play key roles in establishing metastatic lesions, the exact mechanisms underlying melanoma
metastasis to LNs remains unknown. It has been known that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity promotes
the expression of proinflammatory vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). As VCAM-1 is a
major receptor for a4 integrin and plays a key role in leukocyte recruitment, we reasoned that inhibition
of FAK activity may reduce VCAM-1 expression within LNs and thus reduce metastasis of a4 integrinexpressing
melanoma to LNs. First, we found that a pharmacological FAK inhibitor, PF-271, blocked tumor
necrosis factor-a (TNF-a)-mediated VCAM-1 expression on human dermal lymphatic endothelial
cells (HDLECs). In vitro, PF-271 significantly decreased B16F10 melanoma adhesion to and transmigration
through HDLECs compared to TNF-a treated cells. Furthermore, in vivo FAK inhibition by oral PF-271
administration reduced VCAM-1 expression in inguinal, cervical, and popliteal LNs compared to
vehicle treated mice. Finally, in a footpad metastasis model, B16F10 melanoma cells were injected into
the right footpad of C57BL/6 mice, and PF-271 (50 mg/kg, twice daily for 6 days) was orally administrated
after 1 week of tumor transplantation. While untreated mice exhibited significant metastatic melanoma
lesions in popliteal LNs, PF-271 treated mice showed only marginal melanoma metastasis. These results
support the possibility that FAK inhibitors may be a novel preventative option in melanoma metastasis
by blocking VCAM-1 expression in LNs.

description: In the aftermath of 9/11, the National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP), and the Earth Institute of Columbia University launched the American Preparedness Project in order to survey public perceptions on disaster preparedness. The report found that 65% of Americans expressed worry that climate change will have an impact on their community's exposure to disasters. The NCDP recommended integrating the impact of climate change into communications and preparedness programs, given that a comprehensive understanding of the concerns of individuals and families is critical to emergency planning efforts. The NCDP adopted a user-centered design approach to create more informed risk communications and instructional decisions to work towards a pedagogy of climate change. Today, the NCDP deploys online and in-person trainings across the United States where the Center directly engages with the public on disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and resiliency. Leveraging these experiences, the NCDP collects data to analyze the learning efficacy of communication methods of disaster focused curricula. However, despite these strides toward a methodology of teaching climate change, there are several discrepancies in the U.S. public opinion on the degree of urgency in which to prepare for the risks of climate change. Discrepancies are tied to a multitude of factors including partisan affinity, dynamics of in-group or out-group, impersonal versus personal interaction, and perceived thresholds of distance and time. A key relationship between public discourse, cognition, and instruction are introduced in this paper to better set the foundation for a pedagogy of climate change. This paper also provides data-driven recommendations derived from satisfaction surveys and belief statements from learners that have participated in the NCDP's course content on climate change. The recommendations focus on risk communication strategies that can adequately address public opinion discrepancies on the risk of climate change, impact decision making, as well as improve learner understanding of climate change. The solution is not simply to provide more information but to evaluate how to implement different delivery methods aligned with public learning needs and capacities.

description: We present a theoretical investigation of shot-noise suppression due to long-range Coulomb interaction in nondegenerate diffusive conductors. Calculations make use of an ensemble Monte Carlo simulator self-consistently coupled with a one-dimensional Poisson solver. We analyze the noise in a lightly doped active region surrounded by two contacts acting as thermal reservoirs. By taking the doping of the injecting contacts and the applied voltage as variable parameters, the influence of elastic and inelastic scattering in the active region is investigated. The transition from ballistic to diffusive transport regimes under different contact injecting statistics is analyzed and discussed. Provided significant space-charge effects take place inside the active region, long-range Coulomb interaction is found to play an essential role in suppressing the shot noise at $qU \gg k_BT$. In the elastic diffusive regime, momentum space dimensionality is found to modify the suppression factor $γ$, which within numerical uncertainty takes values respectively of about 1/3, 1/2 and 0.7 in the 3D, 2D and 1D cases. In the inelastic diffusive regime, shot noise is suppressed to the thermal value.

description: Recently, significant enhancements of J/$ψ$ production at very low transverse momenta were observed by the ALICE and STAR collaboration in peripheral hadronic A+A collisions. The anomaly excesses point to evidence of coherent photon-nucleus interactions in violent hadronic heavy-ion collisions, which were conventionally studied only in ultra-peripheral collisions. Assuming that the coherent photoproduction is the underlying mechanism which is responsible for the excess observed in peripheral A+A collisions, its contribution in p+p collisions with nuclear overlap, i.e. non-single-diffractive collisions, is of particular interest. In this paper, we perform a calculation of exclusive J/$ψ$ photoproduction in non-single-diffractive p+p collisions at RHIC and LHC energies base on the pQCD motivated parametrization from world-wide experimental data, which could be further employed to improve the precision of phenomenal calculations for photoproduction in A+A collisions. The differential rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of J/$ψ$ from photoproduction are presented. In comparison with the J/$ψ$ production from hadronic interactions, we find that the contribution of photoproduction is negligible.

description: Nonexponential relaxation of magnetization at resonant tunneling points of nanoscale molecular magnets is interpreted to be an effect of fluctuating random field around the applied field. We demonstrate such relaxation in Langevin equation analysis and clarify how the initial relaxation (square-root time) changes to the exponential decay. The scaling properties of the relaxation are also discussed.

description: This paper is aimed to study the compelling issue of cosmic inflation during rapid oscillations using the framework of non-minimal derivative coupling. To this end, an anisotropic and homogeneous Bianchi I background is considered. In this context, I developed the formalism of anisotropic oscillatory inflation and found some constraints for the existence of inflation. In this era, the parameters related to cosmological perturbations are evaluated, further, their graphical trajectories are presented to check the compatibility of the model with the observational data (Planck 2015 probe)

description: Possible phase transitions between incompressible quantum Hall states and compressible three-dimensional states are discussed for infinite-layer electron systems in strong magnetic field. By variational Monte Carlo calculation, relative stability of some trial states is studied. If the inter-layer distance is large enough, the Laughlin state is stabilized for the Landau-level filling ν=1/3 of each layer. When the inter-layer distance is comparable to the magnetic length, the Laughlin state becomes unstable against a different fractional quantum Hall state with inter-layer correlation, and/or against a three-dimensional compressible state. It is discussed how the quantum phase transition between them can be controlled in actual systems.

description: We present the construction of molecular force fields for small molecules (less than 25 atoms) using the recently developed symmetrized gradient-domain machine learning (sGDML) approach [Chmiela et al., Nat. Commun. 9, 3887 (2018); Sci. Adv. 3, e1603015 (2017)]. This approach is able to accurately reconstruct complex high-dimensional potential-energy surfaces from just a few 100s of molecular conformations extracted from ab initio molecular dynamics trajectories. The data efficiency of the sGDML approach implies that atomic forces for these conformations can be computed with high-level wavefunction-based approaches, such as the "gold standard" CCSD(T) method. We demonstrate that the flexible nature of the sGDML model recovers local and non-local electronic interactions (e.g. H-bonding, proton transfer, lone pairs, changes in hybridization states, steric repulsion and $n\toπ^*$ interactions) without imposing any restriction on the nature of interatomic potentials. The analysis of sGDML molecular dynamics trajectories yields new qualitative insights into dynamics and spectroscopy of small molecules close to spectroscopic accuracy.

description: Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) are non-receptor protein tyrosine
kinases that are involved in cell proliferation, migration and survival. Current research of FAK and Pyk2 is greatly
focused in cancer biology and several small molecule inhibitors are being tested under clinical development. Like cancer,
certain chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, bone disease, fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurological
disorders, share malignant characteristics of cancer. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that FAK and Pyk2
contribute to other proliferative and degenerative diseases. Thus, the goal of this review is to briefly highlight studies
that have implicated FAK and Pyk2 as players in disease progression.

description: Sustainability reporting is evolving rapidly, with organizations adapting governance structures to meet increasing regulatory demands. The discussion explores the evolution of ESG assurance, with experts debating mandatory vs. voluntary reporting, regulatory frameworks, and the growing demand for sustainability disclosures. Europe leads with stringent CSRD requirements, while the U.S. is still developing its approach. Experts foresee accounting firms dominating assurance but note competition from consulting firms. Challenges include costs, subject matter expertise, standardization, materiality assessment, integrated reporting feasibility, and balancing shareholder vs. stakeholder priorities, making the path forward bumpy but inevitable.

We employ a covariant and the heavy baryon framework including also the low-lying decuplet. Using only continuum data, we find a small strangeness content of the proton. The uncertainties are, however, large and might be overcome by dedicated lattice QCD calculations.

description: We present a new Monte Carlo scheme for the efficient simulation of multi-polymer systems. The method permits chains to be inserted into the system using a biased growth technique. The growth proceeds via the use of a retractable feeler, which probes possible pathways ahead of the growing chain. By recoiling from traps and excessively dense regions, the growth process yields high success rates for both chain construction and acceptance. Extensive tests of the method using self-avoiding walks on a cubic lattice show that for long chains and at high densities it is considerably more efficient than Configurational Bias Monte Carlo, of which it may be considered a generalisation.
