title: Triggerable, Targetable, and Trackable Flavonol-Based Carbon Monoxide-Releasing Molecules
Creators: name: Lazarus, Livia S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Long known as a toxic gas, carbon monoxide (CO) has been recently redefined as a health beneficial molecule produced endogenously in humans. The biological activity of CO has been extensively examined in inflammatory conditions, vasoprotection, anti-apoptotic and anticancer studies, although the mechanisms of action are still not well defined. Because CO is a gaseous molecule, a straightforward administration would be inhalation. However, this delivery method is limited to use in hospital settings under professional supervision. For improved control over the amount and location of CO delivery, metal-free and light-triggered carbon monoxide-releasing molecules are of particular current interest. Our lab is developing molecules based on flavonol scaffold that can be triggered with visible light to release CO. These molecules are also trackable in cells via their fluorescence. Conveniently, flavonols are abundant in nature in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables being well known for their anti-oxidant and anticancer properties. One of the important advantages of flavonol-based compounds is their structural amenability and ease in tuning their physical properties.
The research presented in this dissertation outlines our approach toward the development and application of highly-controlled flavonol-based CO donors as chemical tools applied to study the biological effects of CO in cellular environments. Through small structural changes of the flavonol scaffold, we developed molecules that can deliver CO outside and inside cells as well as at specific cellular compartments, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes. We have also developed flavonol-based molecules that can be activated to release CO only in the presence of molecules characteristic of pathological conditions. The CO-releasing compounds developed in this project are of particular current interest as they can be rigorously controlled in terms of the time, location and amount of CO released.

description: Air quality prediction is a critical aspect of environmental management and public health protection. Accurate forecasting of ground-level air pollutants is essential for implementing effective mitigation strategies. This study presents a new approach to enhance air quality prediction by integrating spatiotemporal observation system datasets with regression methods. The methods involve the collection of real-time data obtained from an observation system of ground-level monitoring stations equipped with low-cost air sensors. These stations are distributed across different areas to capture variations in air quality, specifically in particles that are 2.5 microns or less in diameter (PM2.5). To strengthen the predictive capabilities, simulations based on atmospheric data are employed. These models also take into account various influencing factors, such as emission and weather patterns. The observational data is then blended with the numerical simulations, ensuring a coherent and accurate representation of the spatiotemporal air quality patterns. The versatility of the methodology makes it suitable for various geographical locations and atmospheric conditions. As air quality remains a global concern, this research contributes significantly to advancing our ability to forecast ground-level pollutant concentrations accurately, ultimately facilitating more effective and targeted measures to mitigate air pollution and safeguard public health.

description: We use the Ramsey separated oscillatory fields (SOF) technique in a $400^\circ$C thermal beam of Yb atoms to measure the Larmor precession frequency with high precision. For the experiment, we use the strongly-allowed ${^1S_0} \rightarrow {^1P_1}$ transition at $399$ nm, and choose the odd isotope $^{171}$Yb with nuclear spin $I=1/2$, so that the ground state has only two magnetic sublevels $m_F = \pm 1/2$. With a magnetic field of $22.2$ G and a separation of about $400$ mm between the oscillatory fields, the central Ramsey fringe is at $16.64$ kHz and has a width of $350$ Hz. The technique can be readily adapted to a cold atomic beam, and should be useful in experiments searching for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) in atoms.

description: For continuously orbit equivalent one-sided topological Markov shifts $(X_A,σ_A)$ and $(X_B,σ_B)$, their eventually periodic points and cocycle functions are studied. As a result we directly construct an isomorphism between their ordered cohomology groups $(\bar{H}^A, \bar{H}^A_+)$ and $(\bar{H}^B, \bar{H}^B_+)$. We also show that the cocycle functions for the continuous orbit equivalences give rise to positive elements of the ordered cohomology, so that the the zeta functions of continuously orbit equivalent topological Markov shifts are related. The set of Borel measures is shown to be invariant under continuous orbit equivalence of one-sided topological Markov shifts.

description: Information passing through internet is generally unrestricted and uncontrollable and a good web content filter acts very much like a sieve. This paper looks at how citizens internet viewing can be controlled using content filters to prevent access to illegal sites and malicious contents in Nigeria. Primary data were obtained by administering 100 questionnaires. The data was analyzed by a software package called Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The result of the study shows that 66.4% of the respondents agreed that the internet is been abused and the abuse can be controlled by the use of content filters. The PHP, MySQL and Apache were used to design a content filter program. It was recommended that a lot still need to be done by public organizations, academic institutions, government and its agencies especially the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria to control the internet abuse by the under aged and criminals.

description: Thanks to its long and rich observational history and rapid apsidal motion, the massive eclipsing binary Y Cyg represents one of the cornestones to critical tests of stellar evolution theory for massive stars. Yet, the determination of the basic physical properties is less accurate than it could be given the existing number of spectral and photometric observations. Our goal is to analyze all these data simultaneously with the new dedicated series of our own spectral and photometric observations from observatories widely separated in longitude. We obtained new series of UBV observations at three observatories separated in local time to obtain complete light curves of Y Cyg for its orbital period close to 3 days. This new photometry was reduced and carefully transformed to the standard UBV system using the HEC22 program. We also obtained new series of red spectra secured at two observatories and re-analyzed earlier obtained blue electronic spectra. Our analyses provide the most accurate so far published value of the apsidal period of 47.805 +/- 0.030 yrs and the following physical elements: M1=17.72+/-0.35$ Msun, M2=17.73+/-0.30 Msun, R1=5.785+/-0.091 Rsun, and R2=5.816+/-0.063 Rsun. The disentangling thus resulted in the masses, which are somewhat higher than all previous determinations and virtually the same for both stars, while the light curve implies a slighly higher radius and luminosity for star 2. The above empirical values imply the logarithm of the internal structure constant log k2 = -1.937. A comparison with Claret's stellar interior models implies an age close to 2 millions yrs for both stars. The claimed accuracy of modern element determination of 1-2 per cent seems still a bit too optimistic and obtaining new high-dispersion and high-resolution spectra is desirable.

Electrochemical studies of solid solution electrodes

Subjects: subject: QD571.S6

description: Using a method based on the analysis of the voltage transient recorded during the application of a galvanostatic pulse to a solid state, three electrode cell, diffusion coefficients of silver electro-active species in AgₓTiS₁.₈ and AgₓNbS₂ were obtained. The activation energy of the diffusion process was found to be approximately 30 kJ mole⁻¹ for TiS₁.₈ and between 34 kJ mole⁻¹ and 24 kJ mole⁻¹, decreasing with increasing guest concentration, for NbS₂. Non-linearity at extended times in the experimental timescale was ascribed to finite length effects, variation of the thermodynamic enhancement factor during the pulse, or a combination of these influences. Temperature and composition variation of the cell emf, for AgₓTiS₁.₈ and AgₓNbS₂ systems, permitted thermodynamic parameters and the compositional variation of the enhancement factors to be obtained. Investigation of the effect of the temperature of oven pre-treatment on compressed powder samples of a lithium ion conducting vitreous electrolyte on the bulk conductivity was carried out using a scanning electron microscope and ac conductivity measurements. Electronic conductivity measurements, using Wagner's method were undertaken on samples of iodotungstate and iodoarsenate glass with a view to confirmation of the low levels necessary for the use of these electrolytes in galvanic cells.

And the efficiency of virtual memory depends on the replacement policy used for cache. In this paper, our algorithm not only based on the time to last access and frequency index but, we also consider the power consumption. We show that Low Power Consumption Weighting Replacement Policy (LWRP) has better performance and low power consumption.

description: This study aims to revisit the evidence of co-movement and lead-lag nexus between carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth in G7 countries over a period of two centuries by using the wavelet coherence analysis. The key findings reveal (i) a cyclical relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and GDP per capita, which implies that during the upswing phase of business cycles, economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions both grow, but the latter can be predicted using GDP as an indicator function at the 1- to 2-year scale. (ii) A time-scale bidirectional causality between carbon dioxide emissions and GDP per capita. This implies that carbon dioxide emissions cannot be reduced without adversely affecting economic growth. Further, the finding also implies a rapid adoption of alternative clean energy sources to reduce carbon dioxide emissions without depressing economic growth.

description: Magnetic field measurements in the upper chromosphere and above, where the gas-to-magnetic pressure ratio $β$ is lower than unity, are essential for understanding the thermal structure and dynamical activity of the solar atmosphere. Recent developments in the theory and numerical modeling of polarization in spectral lines have suggested that information on the magnetic field of the chromosphere-corona transition region could be obtained by measuring the linear polarization of the solar disk radiation at the core of the hydrogen Lyman-$α$ line at 121.6~nm, which is produced by scattering processes and the Hanle effect. The Chromospheric Lyman-$α$ Spectropolarimeter (CLASP) sounding rocket experiment aims to measure the intensity (Stokes $I$) and the linear polarization profiles ($Q/I$ and $U/I$) of the hydrogen Lyman-$α$ line. In this paper we clarify the information that the Hanle effect can provide by applying a Stokes inversion technique based on a database search. The database contains all theoretical $Q/I$ and $U/I$ profiles calculated in a one-dimensional semi-empirical model of the solar atmosphere for all possible values of the strength, inclination, and azimuth of the magnetic field vector, though this atmospheric region is highly inhomogeneous and dynamic. We focus on understanding the sensitivity of the inversion results to the noise and spectral resolution of the synthetic observations as well as the ambiguities and limitation inherent to the Hanle effect when only the hydrogen Lyman-$α$ is used. We conclude that spectropolarimetric observations with CLASP can indeed be a suitable diagnostic tool for probing the magnetism of the transition region, especially when complemented with information on the magnetic field azimuth that can be obtained from other instruments.

description: This article explores and explains the factors affecting the development of biobased innovations for the Dutch bioeconomy transition. Qualitative analysis through semi-structured interviews and secondary data was made on Bioasphalt as a case study to extract these factors from the empirical situation. Due to the scarcity of literature on biobased innovation for the bioeconomy, this research offers a base for policy makers to position the biobased innovations into the circular economy plans. The findings show that the urgency factor associated with the circular economy implantation has negatively affected the development of biobased innovations. On a micro level, the analyzed factors will assist niche actors in accelerating their biobased solutions. Although the innovation ecosystem structure highly depends on the nature of the technology or product, studies using similar approaches will allow for the generalization of the results.

description: We conducted an experimental study in a country in the Global South, an understudied region, for a citizen science project on water flow. Volunteers received a standard or an experimental training linking volunteers to decision-makers to influence perceptions of project relevancy and participation. We conducted pre- and post-training surveys and interviews to assess motivations, barriers, and perceptions of project relevancy and participation. We found motivations of learning and values enabled, while barriers such as time constrained, participation. Interviews showed continuing volunteers in the experimental training had stronger perceptions of project relevancy compared to the control, but survey results only showed changes in short-term perceptions and no changes to participation. Results suggest participation could be improved by addressing challenges such as time constraints or difficulty organizing others and focusing on motivations such as learning and values, but further research is needed on how involvement of decision makers in citizen science can influence participation.

description: In this paper we present a reformulation of the Galois correspondence theorem of Hopf Galois theory in terms of groups carrying farther the description of Greither and Pareigis. We prove that the class of Hopf Galois extensions for which the Galois correspondence is bijective is larger than the class of almost classically Galois extensions but not equal to the whole class. We show as well that the image of the Galois correspondence does not determine the Hopf Galois structure.

description: Literaturstudie: Zusammenstellung typischer Spannweiten bergbaulich relevanter Parameter mit Blick auf die Planung eines Endlagers für radioaktive Abfälle – Datenbank zur Literaturstudie Im Rahmen einer Literaturstudie zu bergbaulich relevanten Parametern der zur Endlagerung von hochradioaktiven Abfällen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in Frage kommenden Wirtsgesteine Steinsalz, Tongestein und kristallines Wirtsgestein wurde öffentlich zugängliche Literatur zu Parametern, die Spannungsfeld, Trennflächen und insbesondere Gesteine in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland betreffen, gesichtet und tabellarisch zusammengefasst. Die erhobenen Daten sollen die Grundlage für eine semigenerische Auslegung eines Endlagers für hochradioaktive Abfälle, aber auch für die parallel zu erfolgende Abschätzung des Volumenbedarfs für ein Endlager für schwach und mittelradioaktive Abfälle und für die Entwicklungen des Endlagersystems (insbesondere exogener Prozesse) bilden. Es konnten über 5.000 Einträge für Gesteinsparameter erhoben werden. Die publizierte Datenlage zu Spannungsfeld, Trennflächeninventar und Trennflächeneigenschaften ist allerdings wenig belastbar. Dagegen kann die Datenlage für die oben umrissenen Aufgaben bzgl. der Gesteinseigenschaften für viele Parameter insgesamt als ausreichend bezeichnet werden. Für weitere Arbeitsschritte ist eine lokationsbezogene Spannungs- und Trennflächenmodellierung zu empfehlen. Dieser Bericht ist im Rahmen einer Beauftragung durch die Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung mbH (BGE) entstanden. Das Dokument stellt die Datenbank zur Literaturstudie dar.

description: We present a coupled fluid-dynamic and electromagnetic model for volcanic ash plumes. In a forward approach, the model is able to simulate the plume dynamics from prescribed input flow conditions and generate the corresponding synthetic thermal infrared (TIR) image, allowing a comparison with field-based observations. An inversion procedure is then developed to retrieve ash plume properties from TIR images. The adopted fluid-dynamic model is based on a one-dimensional, stationary description of a self-similar (top-hat) turbulent plume, for which an asymptotic analytical solution is obtained. The electromagnetic emission/absorption model is based on the Schwarzschild's equation and on Mie's theory for disperse particles, assuming that particles are coarser than the radiation wavelength and neglecting scattering. [...] Application of the inversion procedure to an ash plume at Santiaguito volcano (Guatemala) has allowed us to retrieve the main plume input parameters, namely the initial radius $b_0$, velocity $U_0$, temperature $T_0$, gas mass ratio $n_0$, entrainment coefficient $k$ and their related uncertainty. Moreover, coupling with the electromagnetic model, we have been able to obtain a reliable estimate of the equivalent Sauter diameter $d_s$ of the total particle size distribution. The presented method is general and, in principle, can be applied to the spatial distribution of particle concentration and temperature obtained by any fluid-dynamic model, either integral or multidimensional, stationary or time-dependent, single or multiphase. The method discussed here is fast and robust, thus indicating potential for applications to real-time estimation of ash mass flux and particle size distribution, which is crucial for model-based forecasts of the volcanic ash dispersal process.

description: The 67/91 Schmidt telescope is the largest instrument of this type in Italy. It was officially commissioned in 1966, when it was located in the Pennar Observation Station, near the Galileo telescope; in 1991 the telescope was moved to mount Ekar near the Copernico 1.82m telescope, in order to take advantage of the higher altitude and lower light pollution. In 2017 the telescope has been considerably refurbished (new CCD camera, new filters, autoguider) and remotely controlled. Starting from May, 2020 updates of both hardware and software allowed the implementation of the fully robotic operational mode. The observing blocks (OB) are submitted at any time by the PIs of the proposals or their collaborators. The Robotic System has a rapid-response capability that allows it to interrupt regular observations in order to observe transient phenomena with high priority.

description: The political project of integrating into the EU and of ‘returning’ to Europe after the fall of the communist regimes has been a shared goal of the post-communist countries in East Central Europe, including Albania. The initial waves of enlargement that incorporated the post-authoritarian societies of Spain, Portugal and later Greece buttressed to some extent the legitimacy of the democratic transitions in these countries. Yet, a more coherent and explicit EU policy with regard to enlargement and the coupling of EU integration with certain concrete political, economic and social criteria, known as the Copenhagen criteria, appeared after the regime transitions in post-communist East Central Europe. The Copenhagen criteria became the cornerstone of what is known in the Europeanization literature as the EU conditionality effect relying on a combination of the EU normative ‘soft’ power and withdrawal of the EU membership promise if prompted by domestic conditions or when necessary. During the latest waves of the EU enlargement in East Central Europe, the EU has been effective in countervailing the authoritarian tendencies in post-communist ECE such as in the case of the Meciar’s rule in Slovakia by postponing the reward of full membership and supporting and galvanizing the domestic transformations triggered by the civil society and the political opposition there. In most of the cases the European Union has conceived of the conditionality policy as an effect of the soft power. In this paper I argue that the effect of EU political conditionality in transforming the features of the polity of the Albanian post-communist regime is less effective and successful. A different mechanism of making effective the political conditionality would be more appropriate. Rather than having as main and the only interlocutors the political elite and representative of state institutions, the EU representatives could consider incorporating pertinent local societal actors of the aspiring EU accession country.

description: Cardiac and respiratory rhythms are known to exhibit a modest degree of phase synchronization, which is affected by age, diseases, and other factors. We study the fine temporal structure of this synchrony in healthy young, healthy elderly, and elderly subjects with coronary artery disease. We employ novel time-series analysis to explore how phases of oscillations go in and out of the phase-locked state at each cycle of oscillations. For the first time we show that cardiorespiratory system is engaged in weakly synchronized dynamics with a very specific temporal patterning of synchrony: the oscillations go out of synchrony frequently, but return to the synchronous state very quickly (usually within just one cycle of oscillations). Properties of synchrony depended on the age and disease status. Healthy subjects exhibited more synchrony at the higher (1:4) frequency-locking ratio between respiratory and cardiac rhythms, while subjects with coronary artery disease exhibited relatively more 1:2 synchrony. However, multiple short desynchronization episodes prevailed regardless of age and disease status. The same average synchrony level could alternatively be achieved with few long desynchronizations, but this was not observed in the data. This implies functional importance of short desynchronizations dynamics. These dynamics suggest that a synchronous state is easy to create if needed, but is also easy to break. Short desynchronizations dynamics may facilitate the mutual coordination of cardiac and respiratory rhythms by creating intermittent synchronous episodes. It may be an efficient background dynamics to promote adaptation of cardiorespiratory coordination to various external and internal factors.

description: Black hole thermodynamic stability can be determined by studying the nature of heat capacity of the system. For Schwarzschild black hole the heat capacity is negative, but in the quintessence field this system shows a second order phase transition, implying the existence of a stable phase. We further discuss the equation of state of the present system. While analyzing the quasinormal modes, we find that the massive scalar quasinormal mode frequencies in the complex $ω$ plane shows a dramatic change when we plot it as a progressive function of quintessence state parameter. We also find the Hawking temperature of the system via the method of tunneling.
