description: We analysed the ethanolic extract from Ajuga genevensis L. (Lamiaceae) growing in Dolomites, part of Italian Alps. Three new compounds for this species were identified: rosmarinic acid (1), oleanolic acid (2) and maslinic acid (3), representative of two different classes of chemical compounds (phenylpropanoids and pentacyclic triterpenes). A. genevensis resulted to be a valuable source of these compounds endowed with interesting biological activities (i.e. antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative). The recognition of compounds (1), (2) and (3) may also confirm the ethnomedicinal uses of this plant. From a chemotaxonomical point of view, it is worth noting that iridoids were not evidenced in this accession. Iridoids are considered chemotaxonomic marker in Lamiales, and, in contrast with a previous study on this species, the presence of aucubin was not confirmed. In addition, the presence of large amounts of rosmarinic acid (1) was unexpected for a species that does not belong to subfamily Nepetoideae.

description: In this note, we introduce the notion of visible boundary points with respect to Kobayashi distance for domains in complex euclidean space. Following the work of Sarkar, we obtain additive and multiplicative localization results about Kobayashi distance near visible boundary points. Then using the additive localization result, we show that visibility property with respect to Kobayashi distance is a local property of the boundary points and it does not depend on the domain.

description: Across the US there is a widespread problem of PFAS contamination in well water. In Massachusetts, many private wells are unregulated so it is up to local Boards of Health (BOHs) and well owners to mitigate the impact of PFAS on private well owners. The goal of this project is to help mitigate PFAS impact via recommendations for updating the model bylaw for private wells and to spread awareness via educational materials. For our research we conducted semi-structured interviews, two surveys for the general public and BOH agents, and performed content analysis on our background research and relevant literature. To help address the concern, we recommend the implementation of a database for well testing results, training for BOH agents,
and additional educational materials.

description: In this work we extend the Lu-Weinstein construction of double symplectic groupoids to any Lie bialgebroid such that its associated Courant algebroid is transitive and its Atiyah algebroid integrable. We illustrate this result by showing how it generalises many of the examples of double symplectic groupoids that have appeared in the literature. As preliminary steps for this construction, we give a classification of exact twisted Courant algebroids over Lie groupoids (CA-groupoids for short) and we show the existence of a foliation by twisted Courant algebroids on the base of a twisted CA-groupoid.

description: In this paper we investigate the equilibrium properties of bidirectional associative memories (BAMs). Introduced by Kosko in 1988 as a generalization of the Hopfield model to a bipartite structure, the simplest architecture is defined by two layers of neurons, with synaptic connections only between units of different layers: even without internal connections within each layer, information storage and retrieval are still possible through the reverberation of neural activities passing from one layer to another. We characterize the computational capabilities of a stochastic extension of this model in the thermodynamic limit, by applying rigorous techniques from statistical physics. A detailed picture of the phase diagram at the replica symmetric level is provided, both at finite temperature and in the noiseless regimes. Also for the latter, the critical load is further investigated up to one step of replica symmetry breaking. An analytical and numerical inspection of the transition curves (namely critical lines splitting the various modes of operation of the machine) is carried out as the control parameters - noise, load and asymmetry between the two layer sizes - are tuned. In particular, with a finite asymmetry between the two layers, it is shown how the BAM can store information more efficiently than the Hopfield model by requiring less parameters to encode a fixed number of patterns. Comparisons are made with numerical simulations of neural dynamics. Finally, a low-load analysis is carried out to explain the retrieval mechanism in the BAM by analogy with two interacting Hopfield models. A potential equivalence with two coupled Restricted Boltmzann Machines is also discussed.

As the consequence of this result, we extend the complex plank theorem of Ball to the case of planks that are not necessarily centrally symmetric and not necessarily round. We also prove a weaker version of the spherical polynomial plank covering conjecture for planks of different widths.

description: Scutellaria oblonga Benth., a hitherto phytochemically unexplored Indian medicinal folklore plant was extracted with acetone and subjected to chromatography to yield nine flavonoids, for the first time from this plant. Antimicrobial assays were performed against 11 foodborne pathogens, and three molecules (Techtochrysin, Negletein and Quercitin-3-glucoside) depicted significant activity. These molecules were assessed for their rate of antibacterial action using time–kill curves which depicted complete inhibition of most of the bacteria within 12–16 h. The significant biofilm-reducing capability exhibited by these three molecules formed a significant finding of the current study. In most of the experiments, a 90–95% reduction in biofilms was observed. Thus, flavonoids as natural molecules from S. oblonga could be further researched to be used as potent antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents.

description: Recent statistics reveal an alarming increase in accidents involving pedestrians (especially children) crossing the street. A common philosophy of existing pedestrian detection approaches is that this task should be undertaken by the moving cars themselves. In sharp departure from this philosophy, we propose to enlist the help of cars parked along the sidewalk to detect and protect crossing pedestrians. In support of this goal, we propose ADOPT: a system for Alerting Drivers to Occluded Pedestrian Traffic. ADOPT lays the theoretical foundations of a system that uses parked cars to: (1) detect the presence of a group of crossing pedestrians - a crossing cohort; (2) predict the time the last member of the cohort takes to clear the street; (3) send alert messages to those approaching cars that may reach the crossing area while pedestrians are still in the street; and, (4) show how approaching cars can adjust their speed, given several simultaneous crossing locations. Importantly, in ADOPT all communications occur over very short distances and at very low power. Our extensive simulations using SUMO-generated pedestrian and car traffic have shown the effectiveness of ADOPT in detecting and protecting crossing pedestrians.

description: The serotonin1A receptor belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and is a potential drug target in neuropsychiatric disorders. The receptor has been shown to require membrane cholesterol for its organization, dynamics and function. Although recent work suggests a close interaction of cholesterol with the receptor, the structural integrity of the serotonin1A receptor in the presence of cholesterol has not been explored. In this work, we have carried out all atom molecular dynamics simulations, totaling to 3 μs, to analyze the effect of cholesterol on the structure and dynamics of the serotonin1A receptor. Our results show that the presence of physiologically relevant concentration of membrane cholesterol alters conformational dynamics of the serotonin1A receptor and, on an average lowers conformational fluctuations. Our results show that, in general, transmembrane helix VII is most affected by the absence of membrane cholesterol. These results are in overall agreement with experimental data showing enhancement of GPCR stability in the presence of membrane cholesterol. Our results constitute a molecular level understanding of GPCR-cholesterol interaction, and represent an important step in our overall understanding of GPCR function in health and disease.

description: Hot brines in geopressured sandstones contain significant quantities of dissolved natural gas. If these sandstones are capable of producing brines at high rates, the natural gas and thermal energy may be economically recovered. However, brine withdrawal will result in a large pressure reduction over an extensive reservoir volume, and it may cause pronounced land subsidence. To minimize subsidence and increase recovery, brines may be reinjected into producing reservoirs. A local volume averaging technique was employed to derive the differential equations that describe the geopressured aquifer phenomena. These equations were then approximated by an integrated finite-difference method, which generates discrete equations having a more .,,: rigorous conservation property than conventional difference analogs, Energy transport associated with cold brine reinjection is a convection-dominant process. Numerical solutions for such problems are known to display oscillations and/or numerical diffusion. To eliminate oscillations and reduce numerical diffusion, the optimum upwind approach was adopted in this study. Due to large time truncation errors, however, the explicit and implicit applications of this approach were found ineffective for the cell Peclet number greater than 100. When combined with the Crank-Nicolson differencing, solutions became sufficiently accurate. This scheme, however, is subjected to quite restrictive non-oscillation conditions and will not be applicable to a practical reservoir problem in which the local Peclet number greatly varies. Should shales encasing the sandstone aquifers be semipermeable, they will discharge their pore water vertically to the aquifers. Their influence on aquifer pressures can be substantial. Shales also discharge heat vertically to the aquifer zone swept by injected brines. The semi-analytic Vinsome-Westerveld method was accurate and computationally economical in handling this vertical fluid and heat flow in cap and base shales. However, its modified version for an interbedding shale layer yielded errors up to 10 percent and hence, needs refinement. The explicit finite difference shale treatment produced satisfactory results with relatively coarse shale grids and a reasonable time step size, and did not require excessive computer time. The developed computer model incorporates the optimum upwinding and the semi-analytic shale treatment.

description: Agave tequilana Weber is used in tequila and fructans production, with agave bagasse generated as a solid waste. The main use of bagasse is to produce compost in tequila factories with a long traditional composting that lasts 6–8 months. The aim of this study was to evaluate the degradation of agave bagasse by combining a pretreatment with fungi and vermicomposting. Experiments were carried out with fractionated or whole bagasse, sterilized or not, subjecting it to a pretreatment with Bjerkandera adusta alone or combined with native fungi, or only with native bagasse fungi (non-sterilized), for 45 days. This was followed by a vermicomposting with Eisenia fetida and sewage sludge, for another 45 days. Physicochemical parameters, lignocellulose degradation, stability and maturity changes were measured. The results indicated that up to 90% of the residual sugars in bagasse were eliminated after 30 days in all treatments. The highest degradation rate in pretreatment was observed in non-sterilized, fractionated bagasse with native fungi plus B. adusta (BNFns) (71% hemicellulose, 43% cellulose and 71% lignin) at 45 days. The highest total degradation rates after vermicomposting were in fractionated bagasse pre-treated with native fungi (94% hemicellulose, 86% cellulose and 91% lignin). However, the treatment BNFns showed better maturity and stability parameters compared to that reported for traditional composts. Thus, it seems that a process involving vermicomposting and pretreatment with B. adusta could reduce the degradation time of bagasse to 3 months, compared to the traditional composting process, which requires from 6 to 8 months.

description: Molecular chirality is a key design property for many technologies including bioresponsive imaging, circularly polarized light detection and emission, molecular motors and switches. Imaging and manipulating the primary steps of transient chirality is therefore central for controlling numerous physical, chemical and biological properties that arise from chiral molecules in response to external stimuli. So far, the manifestation of electron-driven chiral dynamics in neutral molecules has not been demonstrated at their intrinsic timescale. Here, we use time-resolved photoelectron circular dichroism (TR-PECD) with an unprecedented instrument response function of 2.9 fs to image the dynamics of coherent electronic motion activated by prompt UV-excitation in neutral chiral molecules, disclosing its impact on the molecular chiral response. We find that electronic beatings between Rydberg states lead to periodic modulations of the chiroptical response on the few-femtosecond timescale, showing a sign inversion in less than 10 fs. Calculations including both the molecular UV-excitation and subsequent photoionization confirm this interpretation and provide further evidence that the combination of the resulting photoinduced chiral current with a circularly polarized probe pulse realizes an enantio-selective filter of molecular orientations upon photoionization, opening up a route towards enantio-selective charge-directed reactivity.

description: Coking wastewater is one of the most toxic industrial effluents since it contains high concentration of toxic organic compounds. Biological treatments are widely applied in coking wastewater treatment, pollutants can be degraded completely due to the synergistic effect of the community composition. In this study, the community structure and degradation of organic compounds of a full-scale coking wastewater treatment plant with anaerobic, anoxic, and oxic process (A1/A2/O) were studied. GC-MS results showed that phenols, indole, quinoline and pyridine, accounting for 61.70, 13.63, 7.71 and, 2.30%, respectively, were the main organic pollutants in the raw coking wastewater. Those pollutants were degraded gradually during the A1/A2/O bioprocess, respectively. High throughput pyrosequencing was applied to investigate the bacterial community, the sequences could be affiliated to 21 phylogenetic groups, including Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Bacteroidetes, Planctomycetes, Synergistetes, Chlorobi, Acidobacteria, Nitrospira, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria. Diversity and richness indexes, venn analysis and principal component analysis indicated that the diversity and abundance of species in three samples were different. The abundance of the phylum Proteobacteria accounted for 84.64% (A1), 62.73% (A2), and 83.24% (O) of the total reads, respectively. The corresponding most dominant orders in three samples were Pseudomonadales (A1), Syntrophobacterales (A2), and Burkholderiales (O), respectively. While genus Pseudomonas, Desulfoglaeba, and Diaphorobacter was the dominant bacterium in three samples, respectively.

description: Objectives: Risky behaviour seriously impacts the life of adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Such behaviours have often been attributed to their exaggerated reward seeking, but dysfunctional anticipation of negative outcomes might also play a role. Methods: The present study compared adult patients with ADHD (n = 28) with matched healthy controls (n = 28) during anticipation of monetary losses versus gains while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and skin conductance recording. Results: Skin conductance was higher during anticipation of losses compared to gains in both groups. Affective ratings of predictive cues did not differ between groups. ADHD patients showed increased activity in bilateral amygdalae, left anterior insula (region of interest analysis) and left temporal pole (whole brain analysis) compared to healthy controls during loss versus gain anticipation. In the ADHD group higher insula and temporal pole activations went along with more negative affective ratings. Conclusions: Neural correlates of loss anticipation are not blunted but rather increased in ADHD, possibly due to a life history of repeated failures and the respective environmental sanctions. Behavioural adaptations to such losses, however, might differentiate them from controls: future research should study whether negative affect might drive more risk seeking than risk avoidance.

description: APIs often transmit far more data to client applications than they need, and in the context of web applications, often do so over public channels. This issue, termed Excessive Data Exposure (EDE), was OWASP's third most significant API vulnerability of 2019. However, there are few automated tools -- either in research or industry -- to effectively find and remediate such issues. This is unsurprising as the problem lacks an explicit test oracle: the vulnerability does not manifest through explicit abnormal behaviours (e.g., program crashes or memory access violations). In this work, we develop a metamorphic relation to tackle that challenge and build the first fuzzing tool -- that we call EDEFuzz -- to systematically detect EDEs. EDEFuzz can significantly reduce false negatives that occur during manual inspection and ad-hoc text-matching techniques, the current most-used approaches. We tested EDEFuzz against the sixty-nine applicable targets from the Alexa Top-200 and found 33,365 potential leaks -- illustrating our tool's broad applicability and scalability. In a more-tightly controlled experiment of eight popular websites in Australia, EDEFuzz achieved a high true positive rate of 98.65% with minimal configuration, illustrating our tool's accuracy and efficiency.

description: The serotonin1A receptor belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and is a potential drug target in neuropsychiatric disorders. The receptor has been shown to require membrane cholesterol for its organization, dynamics and function. Although recent work suggests a close interaction of cholesterol with the receptor, the structural integrity of the serotonin1A receptor in the presence of cholesterol has not been explored. In this work, we have carried out all atom molecular dynamics simulations, totaling to 3 μs, to analyze the effect of cholesterol on the structure and dynamics of the serotonin1A receptor. Our results show that the presence of physiologically relevant concentration of membrane cholesterol alters conformational dynamics of the serotonin1A receptor and, on an average lowers conformational fluctuations. Our results show that, in general, transmembrane helix VII is most affected by the absence of membrane cholesterol. These results are in overall agreement with experimental data showing enhancement of GPCR stability in the presence of membrane cholesterol. Our results constitute a molecular level understanding of GPCR-cholesterol interaction, and represent an important step in our overall understanding of GPCR function in health and disease.

description: In recent decades, water deficit and environmental hazards of wastewater have promoted the development of
wastewater reuse in irrigation of agricultural lands in many arid and semi-arid regions. An experiment was
conducted out at the experimental farm of a leaven factory (Iran Mayeh Co.), where the effect of treated
wastewater was evaluated on yield and yield components of corn (Zea mays) during the growing season of 2012.
Three, irrigation levels (I1: irrigation with wastewater once in whole experimental period, I2: irrigation with
wastewater twice in whole experimental period, I3: irrigation with wastewater in whole experimental period) and
six wastewater percentage levels (C1: 15% wastewater, C2: 30% wastewater, C3: 45% wastewater, C4: 60%
wastewater, A: pure water and P: pure wastewater) were studied in a factorial experiment on the bases of
randomized complete block design with three replications. Results illustrated that number of irrigations with
wastewater did not have significant effect on number of grain per ear, whereas it had significant effect on grain
weight per ear, 1000-seeds weight, ear weight and grain yield. Also results showed that wastewater percentage
did not have significant effect on mentioned traits. The maximum increase of grain yield was observed in
irrigation with wastewater whole over growing season. Results also illustrated that irrigation with wastewater
whole over the growth period had the most significant effect on yield components. Therefore, it seems that after
assessing the effects of wastewater on soil and environment, the wastewater of this leaven factory can be used in
corn irrigation.

IMPES

description: A two-dimensional, compositional simulator has been developed and applied to micellar/polymer flooding. This simulator can model both heterogeneous areal reservoirs and heterogeneous vertical reservoir cross-sections. Physical phenomena such as dispersion, phase behavior, dilution effects, adsorption, polymer properties (shear thinning, inaccessible pore volume, permeability reduction), interfacial tension, relative permeability, capillary trapping, cation exchange, capillary pressure and phase density are included in the simulator. The solution technique used is analogous to IMPES, but overall concentration instead of saturations are solved for initially. Chaudhari's technique is used to solve the concentration equation. Either a constant time-step size or variable time-step size can be used in the simulator. Either constant pressure or constant rate boundary conditions can be used. The simulator has been applied to various field scale conditions. Factors simulated include reservoir properties, cross-flow, operating conditions, and various process variables such as slug size, polymer drive grading and size, salinity gradient, and mobility ratio.
