description: Antibiotic resistance, a critical global health concern, arises as bacteria and other microbes evolve to resist drugs. The AcrB protein, a key component of the AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump in Escherichia coli, plays a significant role in antibiotic resistance and presents an opportunity for new drug development. Inhibiting this pump has the potential to reverse antibiotic resistance and restore drug efficacy. This study explores potential molecules that target the AcrB protein as a novel therapeutic strategy against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria, utilizing in-silico techniques. The initial step in the selection of ligands involved gathering compounds from the PubChem database that are structurally similar to erythromycin A, with a cutoff score of 80 or higher in the similarity search. Stringent drug-likeness criteria were applied, yielding 111 compounds that share structural similarities with erythromycin A. Virtual screening against the target protein identified 72 compounds with promising docking scores between −6.13 and −3.06 kcal/mol using the MtiOpenScreen web server. Subsequently, four compounds (CID:102055530, CID:101369593, CID:139312504, and CID:143044924), along with the control compound (erythromycin A), were selected for further analysis. These analyses included re-docking, molecular dynamics simulations, free binding energy calculations, and PCA-based free energy landscape investigation. The findings suggest that the identified compounds could serve as foundations for developing new inhibitors targeting the AcrB protein, offering a promising strategy to counteract bacterial resistance. This research supports the need for further experimental validation to confirm these in-silico predictions and to potentially advance these compounds through the drug development process.

Accounting fraud

description: This study examines the predictive power of accounting fraud allegations by activist short-sellers and costs imposed by allegations that are subsequently not confirmed. Importantly, only 30% of the allegations are later confirmed. Although there is a high rate of unconfirmed allegations, activist short-sellers still provide the strongest signal that a firm has committed accounting fraud relative to other commonly used fraud predictors. These allegations also help improve the efficacy of the legal system as securities class actions containing allegations similar to those of activist short-sellers are more likely to settle. Unconfirmed fraud allegations impose some costs on targeted firms as they increase non-meritorious litigation risk and audit fees, but the costs are not significant enough to affect profitability. Further, unconfirmed fraud allegations temporarily depress prices and increase information asymmetry, thus negatively affecting capital markets. Overall, the findings suggest that executives’ concerns regarding false allegations are valid, but at the same time, activist short-sellers’ allegations are a strong predictor of accounting fraud. The findings should be of interest to regulators who are concerned with false rumors spreading in the market.

description: We present the results of a detailed UV-optical study of the nearby dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 4214 using multifilter HST/WFPC2+STIS photometry. The stellar extinction is found to be quite patchy, with some areas having values of E(4405-5495)< 0.1 mag and others, associated with star forming regions, much more heavily obscured, a result which is consistent with previous studies of the nebular extinction. We determined the ratio of blue-to-red supergiants and found it to be consistent with theoretical models for the metallicity of the SMC. The stellar IMF of the field in the range 20-100 solar masses is found to be steeper than Salpeter. A number of massive clusters and associations with ages between a few and 200 million years are detected and their properties are discussed.

description: The change in entropy, /DeltaS, associated with the quasi-static absorption of a particle of energy u by a Schwarzschild black hole (ScBH) is approximately (u/T)-s, where T is the Hawking temperature of the black hole and s is the entropy of the particle. Motivated by the statistical interpretation of entropy, it is proposed here that absorption should be suppressed, but not forbidden, when /DeltaS<0, which requires the absorption cross-section to be sensitive to /DeltaS. A purely thermodynamic formulation of the probability for absorption is obtained from the standard relationship between microstates and entropy. If /DeltaS>>1 and s<

description: We consider scalar-tensor theories and reconstruct their potential U(Φ) and coupling F(Φ) by demanding a background LCDM cosmology. In particular we impose a background cosmic history H(z) provided by the usual flat LCDM parameterization through the radiation (w_{eff}=1/3), matter (w_{eff}=0) and deSitter (w_{eff}=-1) eras. The cosmological dynamical system which is constrained to obey the LCDM cosmic history presents five critical points in each era, one of which corresponding to the standard General Relativity (GR). In the cases that differ from GR, the reconstructed coupling and potential are of the form F(Φ)\sim Φ^2 and U(Φ)\sim F(Φ)^m where m is a constant. This class of scalar tensor theories is also theoretically motivated by a completely independent approach: imposing maximal Noether symmetry on the scalar-tensor Lagrangian. This approach provides independently: i) the form of the coupling and the potential as F(Φ)\sim Φ^2 and U(Φ)\sim F(Φ)^m, ii) a conserved charge related to the potential and the coupling and iii) allows the derivation of exact solutions by first integrals of motion.

Quantitative phase imaging of single particles from a cryoEM micrograph

description: We show that de-focused single particle images recorded using a cryo-electron microscope (cryoEM) system may be processed like a Fresnel zone in-line hologram to obtain physically meaningful quantitative phase maps associated with individual particles. In particular, a region-of-interest (ROI) of the de-focused image surrounding a particle can be numerically back-propagated, in order to determine accurate de-focus information based on the sparsity-of-gradient merit function. Further with the knowledge of de-focus information, an iterative Fresnel zone phase retrieval algorithm using image sparsity constraints can accurately estimate the quantitative phase information associated with a single particle. The proposed methodology which can correct for both de-focus and spherical aberrations is a deviation from the image processing chain currently used in single particle cryoEM reconstructions. Our illustrations as presented here suggest that the phase retrieval approach applies uniformly to de-focused image data recorded using the traditional CCD detectors as well as the newer direct electron detectors.

description: Variations in the grain size distribution are to be expected in the interstellar medium (ISM) due to grain growth and destruction. In this work, we present a dust collision model to be implemented inside a magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) code that takes into account grain growth and shattering of charged dust grains of a given composition (silicate or graphite). We integrate this model in the MHD code Athena, and builds on a previous implementation of the dynamics of charged dust grains in the same code. To demonstrate the performance of this coagulation model, we study the variations in the grain size distribution of a single-sized population of dust with radius 0.05 $μ$m inside several dust filaments formed during a 2D MHD simulation. We also consider a realistic dust distribution with sizes ranging from 50 Å~to 0.25 $μ$m and analyze both the variations in the size distribution for graphite and silicates, as well as of the far ultraviolet extinction curve. From the obtained results, we conclude that the methodology here presented, based on the MHD evolution of the equation of motion for a charged particle, is optimal for studying the coagulation of charged dust grains in a diffuse regime such as a molecular cloud envelope. Observationally, these variations in the dust size distribution are translated into variations in the far ultraviolet extinction curve, and they are mainly caused by small graphite dust grains.

description: With the rapid growth of different massive applications and parallel flow requests in Data Center Networks (DCNs), today's providers are confronting challenges in flow forwarding decisions. Since Software Defined Networking (SDN) provides fine granular control, it can be intelligently programmed to distinguish between flow requirements. The present article proposes a knapsack model in which the link bandwidth and incoming flows are modeled as a knapsack capacity and items, respectively. Furthermore, each flow consists of two size and value aspects, acquired through flow size extraction and the type of service value assigned by the SDN controller decision. Indeed, the current work splits the incoming flow size range into Type of Service (ToS) decimal value numbers. The lower the flow size category, the higher the value dedicated to the flow. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) optimizes the knapsack problem and first forwards the selected flows by KP-PSO, and the non-selected-flows second. To address the shortcomings of these methods in the event of dense parallel flow detection, the present study puts the link under the threshold of a 70 percent load by simultaneous requests. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method outperforms Sonum, Hedera, and ECMP in terms of flow completion time, packet loss rate, and goodput regarding flow size requirements.

description: A pressure chamber is designed to study the crumpling process under an ambient force. The compression force and its resulting radius for the ball obey a power law with an exponent that is independent of the thickness and initial size of the sheet. However, the exponent is found to be material-dependent and less than the universal value, 0.25, claimed by the previous simulations. The power law behavior disappears at high pressure when the compressibility drops discontinuously, which is suggestive of a jammed state.

description: In the present study we have proposed a new model of an anisotropic compact star which admits the Chaplygin equation of state. For this purpose, we consider Buchdahl ansatz. We obtain the solution of proposed model in closed form which is non-singular, regular and well-behaved. In addition to this, we show that the model satisfies all the energy conditions and maintains the hydrostatic equilibrium equation. This model represents compact stars like PSR B0943+10, Her X-1 and SAX J1808.4-3658 to a very good approximate.

description: We present detailed timing and spectral studies of the black hole candidate MAXI J0637$-$430 during its 2019-2020 outburst using observations with the {\em Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER)} and the {\em Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory}. We find that the source evolves through the soft-intermediate, high-soft, hard-intermediate and low-hard states during the outburst. No evidence of quasi-periodic oscillations is found in the power density spectra of the source. Weak variability with fractional rms amplitude $<5\%$ is found in the softer spectral states. In the hard-intermediate and hard states, high variability with the fractional rms amplitude of $>20\%$ is observed. The $0.7-10$ keV spectra with {\em NICER} are studied with a combined disk-blackbody and nthcomp model along with the interstellar absorption. The temperature of the disc is estimated to be $0.6$ keV in the rising phase and decreased slowly to $0.1$ keV in the declining phase. The disc component was not detectable or absent during the low hard state. From the state-transition luminosity and the inner edge of the accretion flow, we estimate the mass of the black hole to be in the range of 5$-$12 $M_{\odot}$, assuming the source distance of $d<10$ kpc.

This multiplier algebra can be seen as the largest ${}^*$-algebra of unbounded operators on a separable Hilbert space with the classical Schwartz space of rapidly decreasing functions as the domain. We show in particular that it is neither a $\mathcal{Q}$-algebra nor $m$-convex. On the other hand, we prove that classical tools of functional analysis, for example, the closed graph theorem, the open mapping theorem or the uniform boundedness principle, are still available.

The Anatomy of Corner 3s in the NBA: What makes them efficient, how are they generated and how can defenses respond?

description: Modern basketball is all about creating efficient shots, that is, shots with high payoff. This is not necessarily equivalent to creating looks with the highest probability of success. In particular, the two most efficient shots in the NBA - which are shots from the paint, i.e., extremely close to the basket, and three-point shots from the corner, i.e., at least 22 feet apart - have completely different spatial profiles when it comes to their distance from the basket. The latter also means that they are pretty much at the opposing ends of the spectrum when it comes to their probability of being made. Due to their efficiency, these are the most sought after shots from the offense, while the defense is trying to contain them. However, in order to contain them one needs to first understand what makes them efficient in the first place and how they are generated. In this study we focus on the corner three point shots and using player tracking data we show that the main factor for their efficiency - contrary to the belief from the sports mass media - is not the shorter distance to the basket compared to three-point shots above the break, but rather the fact that they are assisted at a very high rate (more than 90\%). Furthermore, we analyze the movement of the shooter and his defender and find that more than half of these shots involve a shooter anchored at the corner waiting for the kick out pass. We finally define a simplified game between the offense and defense in these situation and we find that the Nash Equilibrium supports either committing to the corner shooter or to the drive to the basket, and not lingering between the two, which is what we observed from the defenses in our dataset.

Describing the SMM by a Kondo model with large spin S > 1/2, we analyze the underscreening of the local moment and the effect of anisotropy terms on the relaxation dynamics of the magnetization. Underscreening by single-channel Kondo processes leads to a logarithmically slow relaxation, while finite uniaxial anisotropy causes a saturation of the SMM's magnetization. Additional transverse anisotropy terms induce quantum spin tunneling and a pseudospin-1/2 Kondo effect sensitive to the spin parity.

description: The unified set of yields of particles produced in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 17.3 GeV (laboratory beam momentum 158 GeV/c) is evaluated, combining the experimental results of the NA49 and NA61/SHINE collaborations at the CERN SPS. With the statistical hadronization code Thermal-Fist we confirm the unacceptably high value of $χ^2$, both in the canonical and grand canonical - strangeness canonical approach, and the common volume for all the hadrons. The use of the energy-dependent width of the Breit-Wigner parametrization for the mass distributions of unstable particles improves the quality of the description of particle yields only slightly. We confirm the observation that exclusion of the $ϕ$ meson yield makes the fit result acceptable. The complete experimental data set of particle yields can be reasonably fitted if the canonical volumes of hadrons without and with open strangeness are allowed to vary independently. The canonical volume of strangeness was found larger than that for non-strange hadrons, which is compatible with the femtoscopy measurements of p+p system at $\sqrt{s} = $ 27.4 MeV and 900 MeV. The model with the best-fit parameters allows to predict the yields of several not yet measured particles emitted from p+p at $\sqrt{s}$ = 17.3 GeV.

Ballarini et al., Nano Lett. 20, 3506 (2020)]. At the same time, it is expected that nonlinear exciton-polaritons can reach a quantum regime forming non-classical states. Here we consider theoretically the quantum nature of exciton polaritons and predict a superpolynomial quantum enhancement in image recognition tasks. This is achieved within experimentally accessible parameters.

Intruder components, particularly s-wave intrusion, in the low-lying states of light neutron-rich nuclei near N=8 are of importance in the study of shell evolution. The use of single-nucleon transfer reactions in inverse kinematics has been a sensitive tool that can be used to quantitatively investigate the single-particle orbital component of selectively populated states. The spin-parity, spectroscopic factor (or single-particle strength), and effective single-particle energy can all be extracted from such reactions. These observables are often useful to explain the nature of shell evolution, and to constrain, check, and test the parameters used in nuclear structure models. In this article, the experimental studies of the intruder components in low-lying states of neutron-rich nuclei of He, Li, Be, B, and C isotopes using various single-nucleon transfer reactions are reviewed. The focus is laid on the precise determination of the intruder s-wave strength in low-lying states.

description: We report on a first-principles investigation of the electronic structure and of the magnetic properties of the quasi-two-dimensional Mott insulator SrCu$_{2}$(BO$_{3}$)$_{2}$. Based on the hopping integrals and Coulomb interactions calculated with LDA and LSDA+U, we provide a microscopic explanation of the symmetric Heisenberg and antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange integrals of SrCu$_{2}$(BO$_{3}$)$_{2}$. The intra-atomic exchange interaction of oxygen is shown to strongly contribute to the intra-dimer isotropic exchange. The results are in good agreement with those derived from experimental data, both regarding the orientation of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya vectors and the magnitude of all exchange integrals. The microscopic analysis is confirmed by the results of Green function's and total energies difference methods.

description: We study some properties of the Rovelli-Smolin-DePietri volume operator in loop quantum gravity, which significantly simplify the diagonalization problem and shed some light on the pattern of degeneracy of the eigenstates. The operator is defined by its action in the spaces of tensor products $\mathcal{H}_{j_1}\otimes \ldots \otimes \mathcal{H}_{j_N}$ of the irreducible SU(2) representation spaces $\mathcal{H}_{j_i}, i=1,\ldots,N$, labelled with spins $j_i\in \frac{1}{2}\mathbb{N}$. We restrict to the spaces of SU(2) invariant tensors (intertwiners) with all spins equal $j_1=\ldots=j_N=j$. We call them spin $j$ monochromatic intertwiners. Such spaces are important in the study of SU(2) gauge invariant states that are isotropic and can be applied to extract the cosmological sector of the theory. In the case of spin $1/2$ we solve the eigenvalue problem completely: we show that the volume operator is proportional to identity and calculate the proportionality factor.

description: Word embeddings are vital descriptors of words in unigram representations of documents for many tasks in natural language processing and information retrieval. The representation of queries has been one of the most critical challenges in this area because it consists of a few terms and has little descriptive capacity. Strategies such as average word embeddings can enrich the queries' descriptive capacity since they favor the identification of related terms from the continuous vector representations that characterize these approaches. We propose a data-driven strategy to combine word embeddings. We use Idf combinations of embeddings to represent queries, showing that these representations outperform the average word embeddings recently proposed in the literature. Experimental results on benchmark data show that our proposal performs well, suggesting that data-driven combinations of word embeddings are a promising line of research in ad-hoc information retrieval.

description: We introduce the concept of quantifying the extent to which a finitely generated group is residually finite. The quantification is carried out for some examples including free groups, the first Grigorchuk group, finitely generated nilpotent groups, and certain arithmetic groups such as $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$. In the context of finite nilpotent quotients, we find a new characterization of nilpotent groups.

Community economic development and adult education
Creators: name: Zysman, Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study examines community economic development (CED) and its educational elements. CED is a process of community residents' learning and developing appropriate responses to their collective and individual socio-economic needs. In this process, learning and development are interactive and evolve into further stages. While a guiding CED organization, resources and collaboration with public and private sectors are necessary elements of CED, the heart of CED is the direct participation, ownership and management of the CED organization and businesses by local residents. The educational significance of CED is that it can motivate people, especially low income people who are often alienated from education, to participate in CED and its education programs. What motivates poor people are: their need to satisfy their basic wants, the encouragement from fellow members of CED groups, and the empowerment that arises from a more egalitarian structuring of ownership and management of economic enterprises. Both the accomplishment of these ends and the learning experienced in the process provide satisfaction. This is likely to encourage further learning. Four CED case studies — the American, Canadian, Tanzanian and Sri Lankan — are compared according to two models of CED stage development. Analysis of these case studies indicates that community exploitation, "crises," visionary ideas and popular education spawn CED movements. To develop organizations and implement businesses, these movements then need to develop a managerial and professional expertise. While none of the four CED situations has been able to integrate effectively this expertise with their CED movements, Sri Lanka has been the most successful in this regard, and Tanzania the least. The problem has been that professionals, such as managers, educators and bureaucrats, have tended to impose their view of CED and their own interests rather than work with and support the people's views and interests. Canadian and American CED organizations, in their desire for social and governmental support, have professionalized at the expense of their movements. Thus, the people most in need of socio-economic interventions are often not the recipients. This study therefore recommends that CED movements be nurtured, while being effectively combined with a professional approach that serves the movement. This can be done through popular education (on CED philosophy and practice) and ongoing dialogue by all sectors of society; and by creating and strengthening member groups concerned with a more egalitarian structuring of their organizations and economic enterprises. This would require education practitioners and theoreticians to play a key role in helping to implement CED. Finally, research would need to be undertaken to evaluate whether CED and its education programs do motivate community residents to participate in their own educational and socio-economic development.

Evidence Of Dark Matter Annihilations In The WMAP Haze

description: The WMAP experiment has revealed an excess of microwave emission from the region around the center of our Galaxy. It has been suggested that this signal, known as the ``WMAP Haze'', could be synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons and positrons generated in dark matter annihilations. In this letter, we revisit this possibility. We find that the angular distribution of the WMAP Haze matches the prediction for dark matter annihilations with a cusped density profile, $ρ(r) \propto r^{-1.2}$ in the inner kiloparsecs. Comparing the intensity in different WMAP frequency bands, we find that a wide range of possible WIMP annihilation modes are consistent with the spectrum of the haze for a WIMP with a mass in the 100 GeV to multi-TeV range. Most interestingly, we find that to generate the observed intensity of the haze, the dark matter annihilation cross section is required to be approximately equal to the value needed for a thermal relic, $σv \sim 3 \times 10^{-26}$ cm$^3$/s. No boost factors are required. If dark matter annihilations are in fact responsible for the WMAP Haze, and the slope of the halo profile continues into the inner Galaxy, GLAST is expected to detect gamma rays from the dark matter annihilations in the Galactic Center if the WIMP mass is less than several hundred GeV.

description: A growing interest in designing high-alumina MgO-bonded refractory castables has been identified in recent years due to the magnesia ability to react: (i) with water at the initial processing stages of these materials (inducing the precipitation of brucite phase) or (ii) with alumina, giving rise to in situ MgAl2O4 generation at high temperatures. Nevertheless, despite the great potential of caustic magnesia to be used as a binder in such systems due to its high reactivity, it is still a challenge to control the hydration reaction rate of this oxide and the negative effects derived from the expansive feature of Mg(OH)2 formation. Thus, this work evaluated the incorporation of different contents of aluminum hydroxyl lactate (AHL) into caustic magnesia-bonded castables, aiming to control the brucite precipitation during the curing and drying steps of the prepared samples, resulting in crack-free refractories. The designed compositions were characterized via flowability, setting behavior, X-ray diffraction, cold flexural strength, porosity, permeability and thermogravimetric measurements. According to the results, instead of Mg(OH)2, hydrotalcite-like phases [Mg6Al2(OH)16(OH)2.4.5H2O and Mg6Al2(OH)16(CO3).4H2O] were the main hydrated phases identified in the AHL-containing compositions. The addition of 1.0 wt.% of aluminum hydroxyl lactate to the designed castable proved to be, so far, the best option for this magnesia source, resulting in the development of a crack-free refractory with enhanced properties and greater spalling resistance under heating.

description: Underwater images suffer from color casts and low contrast due to wavelength- and distance-dependent attenuation and scattering. To solve these two degradation issues, we present an underwater image enhancement network via medium transmission-guided multi-color space embedding, called Ucolor. Concretely, we first propose a multi-color space encoder network, which enriches the diversity of feature representations by incorporating the characteristics of different color spaces into a unified structure. Coupled with an attention mechanism, the most discriminative features extracted from multiple color spaces are adaptively integrated and highlighted. Inspired by underwater imaging physical models, we design a medium transmission (indicating the percentage of the scene radiance reaching the camera)-guided decoder network to enhance the response of the network towards quality-degraded regions. As a result, our network can effectively improve the visual quality of underwater images by exploiting multiple color spaces embedding and the advantages of both physical model-based and learning-based methods. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our Ucolor achieves superior performance against state-of-the-art methods in terms of both visual quality and quantitative metrics.
