description: Reported herein is an environmentally friendly procedure for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols to aldehydes using an inexpensive, commercially available reagent, 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH) and a variety of cyclodextrin additives under fully aqueous solvent conditions. This reaction proceeds with moderate to good yields for a broad scope of benzyl alcohol substrates, with the cyclodextrin acting to enhance the desired reactivity and limit undesired aromatic bromination side products. The reported experiments provide substantial mechanistic insight that will drive further reaction optimization and broad-reaching applications.

description: We compile a sample of 92 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z<0.75 with $gri$ photometric light curves from the archival data of the Zwicky Transient Facility and measure the accretion disk sizes via continuum reverberation mapping. We employ Monte Carlo simulation tests to assess the influences of data sampling and broad emission lines and select out the sample with adequately high sampling cadences (3 days apart in average) and minimum contaminations of broad emission lines. The inter-band time delays of individual AGNs are calculated using the interpolated cross-correlation function and then these delays are fitted with a generalized accretion disk model, in which inter-band time delays are a power function of wavelength, black hole mass, and luminosity. A Markov-chain Monte Carlo method is adopted to determine the best parameter values. Overall the inter-band time delays can be fitted with the $τ\ \propto λ^{4/3}$ relation as predicted from a steady-state, optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disk, however, the yielded disk size is systematically larger than expected, although the ratio of the measured to theoretical disk sizes depend on using the emissivity -- or responsivity -- weighted disk radius. These results are broadly consistent with previous studies, all together raising a puzzle about the "standard" accretion disk model.

description: Deconvolution phase microscopy enables high-contrast visualization of transparent samples through reconstructions of their transmitted phases or refractive indexes. Herein, we propose a method to extend 2D deconvolution phase microscopy to thick 3D samples. The refractive index distribution of a sample can be obtained at a specific axial plane by measuring only four intensity images obtained under optimized illumination patterns. Also, the optical phase delay of a sample can be measured using different illumination patterns.

description: We report on a LUCI/Large Binocular Telescope near-infrared (NIR) spectrum of PSO J030947.49+271757.31 (hereafter PSO J0309+27), the highest redshift blazar known to date (z$\sim$6.1). From the C$\rm IV$$λ$1549 broad emission line we found that PSO J0309+27 is powered by a 1.45$^{+1.89}_{-0.85}$$\times$10$^9$M$_{\odot}$ supermassive black hole (SMBH) with a bolometric luminosity of $\sim$8$\times$10$^{46}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and an Eddington ratio equal to 0.44$^{+0.78}_{-0.35}$. We also obtained new photometric observations with the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo in J and K bands to better constrain the NIR Spectral Energy Distribution of the source. Thanks to these observations, we were able to model the accretion disk and to derive an independent estimate of the black hole mass of PSO J0309+27, confirming the value inferred from the virial technique. The existence of such a massive SMBH just $\sim$900 million years after the Big Bang challenges models of the earliest SMBH growth, especially if jetted Active Galactic Nuclei are associated to a highly spinning black hole as currently thought. Indeed, in a Eddington-limited accretion scenario and assuming a radiative efficiency of 0.3, typical of a fast rotating SMBH, a seed black hole of more than 10$^6$ M$_{\odot}$ at z = 30 is required to reproduce the mass of PSO J0309+27 at redshift 6. This requirement suggests either earlier periods of rapid black hole growth with super-Eddington accretion and/or that only part of the released gravitational energy goes to heat the accretion disk and feed the black hole.

description: We report on proper motion measurements of the forward- and reverse-shock regions of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), including deceleration/acceleration measurements of the forward shock. The measurements combine 19 years of observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory, using the 4.2-6 keV continuum band, preferentially targeting X-ray synchrotron radiation. The average expansion rate is $0.218 \pm 0.029$%yr$^{-1}$ for the forward shock, corresponding to a velocity of $\approx 5800$ km/s. The time derivative of the proper motions indicates deceleration in the east, and an acceleration up to $1.1\times 10^{-4}$ yr$^{-2}$ in the western part. The reverse shock moves outward in the East, but in the West it moves toward the center with an expansion rate of $-0.0225\pm 0.0007$ %yr$^{-1}$, corresponding to $-1884\pm 17$ km/s. In the West the reverse shock velocity in the ejecta frame is $\gtrsim 3000$ km/s, peaking at $\sim 8000$ km/s, explaining the presence of X-ray synchrotron emitting filaments there. The backward motion of the reverse shock can be explained by either a scenario in which the forward shock encountered a partial, dense, wind shell, or one in which the shock transgressed initially through a lopsided cavity, created during a brief Wolf-Rayet star phase. Both scenarios are consistent with the local acceleration of the forward shock. Finally we report on the proper motion of the northeastern jet, using both the X-ray continuum band, and the Si XIII K-line emission band. We find expansion rates of respectively 0.21%yr$^{-1}$ and 0.24%yr$^{-1}$, corresponding to velocities at the tip of the X-ray jet of 7830--9200 km/s.

description: The formation of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) through the collapse of large fluctuations in the early universe is a rare event. This manifests itself, for instance, through the non-Gaussian tail of the formation probability. To compute such probability and the abundance of PBHs, the curvature perturbation is frequently adopted. In this note we emphasize that its use does not provide the correct PBH formation probability. Through a path-integral approach we show that the exact calculation of the PBH abundance demands the knowledge of multivariate joint probabilities of the curvature perturbation or, equivalently, of all the corresponding connected correlators.

Superconducting hydrides on a quantum landscape

description: Reaching superconductivity at ambient conditions is one of the biggest scientific dreams. The discoveries in the last few years at high pressures place hydrogen-based compounds as the best candidates for making it true. As the recent history shows, first-principles calculations are expected to continue guiding the experimental quest in the right track in the coming years. Considering that ionic quantum fluctuations largely affect the structural and vibrational properties of superconducting hydrides, in many cases making them stable at much lower pressures than expected, it will be crucial to include such effects on the future ab initio predictions. The prospects for low-pressure high critical-temperature compounds are wide open, even at ambient pressure.

description: The diverse chemical and physical reactions encountered during cooking connect us to science every day. Here, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the swelling and softening of pasta due to liquid imbibition, as well as the elastic deformation and adhesion of pasta due to capillary force. As water diffuses into the pasta during cooking, it softens gradually from the outside inward as starch swells. The softening follows three sequential regimes: Regime I shows a slow decrease of modulus with cooking time; Regime II, the glassy to rubbery transition region, is characterized by very fast, several orders of magnitude drop in modulus; and regime III, the rubbery region, has an asymptotic modulus about four orders of magnitude lower than the raw pasta. We present experiments and theory to capture these regimes and relate them to the heterogeneous microstructure changes associated with swelling. Interestingly, we observe a modulus drop of two orders of magnitude within the range of 'al dente' cooking duration, and we find the modulus to be extremely sensitive to the amount of salt added to the boiling water. While most chefs can gauge the pasta by tasting its texture, our proposed experiment, which only requires a measurement with a ruler, can precisely provide an optimal cooking time finely tuned for various kinds of pasta shapes.
Three-dimensional MHD wave propagation near a coronal null point: a new wave mode decomposition approach

description: We present a new MHD wave decomposition method that overcomes the limitations of existing wave identification methods. Our method allows to investigate the energy fluxes in different MHD modes at different locations of the solar atmosphere as waves generated by vortex flows travel through the solar atmosphere and pass near the magnetic null. We simulate wave dynamics through a coronal null configuration and apply a rotational wave driver at our bottom photospheric boundary. To identify the wave energy fluxes associated with different MHD wave modes, we employ a wave-decomposition method that is able to uniquely distinguish different MHD modes. Our proposed method utilizes the geometry of an individual magnetic field-line in 3D space to separate out velocity perturbations associated with the three fundamental MHD waves. Our method for wave identification is consistent with previous flux-surface-based methods and gives expected results in terms of wave energy fluxes at various locations of the null configuration. We show that ubiquitous vortex flows excite MHD waves that contribute significantly to the Poynting flux in the solar corona. Alfvén wave energy flux accumulates on the fan surface and fast wave energy flux accumulates near the null point. There is a strong current density buildup at the spine and fan surface.The proposed method has advantages over previously utilized wave decomposition methods, since it may be employed in realistic simulations or magnetic extrapolations, as well as in real solar observations, whenever the 3D fieldline shape is known. The enhancement in energy flux associated with magneto-acoustic waves near nulls may have important implications in the formation of jets and impulsive plasma flows.

description: Nineteen Trichoderma isolates, collected from different locations in Bangladesh, were characterised through phenotypic, biochemical and molecular means. Besides, they were assessed for their antifungal action in vitro. The isolates were divided into three groups: T. asperellum, T. virens and T. harzianum. A dual culture assay and a culture filtrate assay against 6 phytopathogens revealed that 9 of the 19 isolates showed significant antifungal activities. The isolate T. harzianum TR05 showed the highest inhibition against Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium circinatum and Phomopsis vexans, followed by T. asperellum TR08 and T. virens TR06. TR08 had the highest inhibition against Sclerotium rolfsii and Pythium aphanidermatum, followed by TR05 and TR06. These findings were in agreement with their activities of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes, including chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase, and proteinase. Our results suggest that isolates TR05, TR06 and TR08 have the potential to be effective biocontrol agents against the phytopathogenic fungi.

description: We discuss spatio-temporal pattern formation in two separate thermal convective systems. In the first system, hydrothermal waves (HTW) are modeled numerically in an annular channel. A temperature difference is imposed across the channel, which induces a surface tension gradient on the free surface of the fluid, leading to a surface flow towards the cold side. The flow pattern is axially symmetric along the temperature gradient with an internal circulation for a small temperature difference. This axially symmetric flow (ASF) becomes unstable beyond a given temperature difference threshold, and subsequently, symmetry-breaking flow, i.e., rotational oscillating waves or HTW, appears. For the second system, Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) is experimentally studied in the non-turbulent regime. When a thin film of liquid is heated, the competing forces of viscosity and buoyancy give rise to convective instabilities. This convective instability creates a spatio-temporal non-uniform temperature distribution on the surface of the fluid film. The surface temperature statistics are studied in both these systems as `order' and `disorder' phase separates. Although the mechanisms that give rise to convective instabilities are different in both cases, we find an agreement on the macroscopic nature of the thermal distributions in these emergent structures.

description: Context. Classical novae are powered by thermonuclear runaways occurring on the surface of accreting white dwarfs (WDs). In the observations, the enrichments of heavy elements in nova ejecta have been detected, indicating a mixing process between the accreted matter and the matter from the outer layers of the underlying WDs prior to nova outbursts. However, the mixing fraction in classical novae is still uncertain. Aims. The purpose of this article is to investigate some elemental abundance ratios during nova outbursts that can be used to estimate the WD mixing fraction in classical novae. Methods. By considering different WD mixing fractions with the stellar evolution code Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA), we carried out a series of simulations of nova outbursts, in which the initial CO WD masses range from $0.7-1.0\,M_\odot$. Results. We identified four elemental abundance ratios (i.e. $\rm (H+He)/\sum CNO$, $\rm (H+He)/Ne$, $\rm \sum CNO/Mg,$ and $\rm \sum CNO/Si$) that satisfy the conditions for determining the WD mixing fraction, in which $\rm (H+He)/\sum CNO$ is the most suitable mixing meter. We also estimated the WD mixing fraction in some representative classical novae. Additionally, we found that a higher metallicity (i.e. higher WD mixing fraction) is preferentially accompanied by a longer $t_{\rm 2}$ (the time of decline by two magnitudes from peak luminosity) during nova outbursts. Our results can be used to constrain the mixing process in classical novae.

description: In the context of the $AdS_{4}/CFT_{3}$ correspondence between higher spin fields and vector theories, we use the constructive bilocal fields based approach to this correspondence, to demonstrate, at the $IR$ critical point of the interacting vector theory and directly in the bulk, the removal of the $Δ=1$ ($s=0$) state from the higher spins field spectrum, and to exhibit simple Klein-Gordon higher spin Hamiltonians. The bulk variables and higher spin fields are obtained in a simple manner from boundary bilocals, by the change of variables previously derived for the $UV$ critical point (in momentum space), together with a field redefinition.

description: Mortality from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated tuberculosis (TB) is high, particularly among hospitalized patients. In 433 people with HIV hospitalized with symptoms of TB, we investigated plasma matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and matrix-derived biomarkers in relation to TB diagnosis, mortality, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bloodstream infection (BSI). Compared to other diagnoses, MMP-8 was elevated in confirmed TB and in Mtb-BSI, positively correlating with extracellular matrix breakdown products. Baseline MMP-3, -7, -8, -10, and PIIINP were associated with Mtb-BSI and 12-week mortality. These findings implicate MMP dysregulation in pathophysiology of advanced HIV-TB and support MMP inhibition as a host-directed therapeutic strategy for HIV-TB.

description: Purpose: To create an evaluation plan for the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) accreditation standards for basic medical education. Methods: We conceptualized the 100 basic standards from “Basic Medical Education: WFME Global Standards for Quality Improvement: The 2012 Revision” as medical education program objectives. Standards were simplified into evaluable items, which were then categorized as inputs, processes, outputs and/or outcomes to generate a logic model and corresponding plan for data collection. Results: WFME standards posed significant challenges to evaluation due to complex wording, inconsistent formatting and lack of existing assessment tools. Our resulting logic model contained 244 items. Standard B 5.1.1 separated into 24 items, the most for any single standard. A large proportion of items (40%) required evaluation of more than one input, process, output and/or outcome. Only one standard (B 3.2.2) was interpreted as requiring evaluation of a program outcome. Conclusions: Current WFME standards are difficult to use for evaluation planning. Our analysis may guide adaptation and revision of standards to make them more evaluable. Our logic model and data collection plan may be useful to medical schools planning an institutional self-review and to accrediting authorities wanting to provide guidance to schools under their purview.

description: Objective: To measure the effect of different contact time between the alginate impression and type III dental stone on cast model properties in the terms of dimension stability, hardness and surface details reproduction. Material and methods: Sixty-seven cast models were obtained from stainless steel cylinder using alginate
impression material and type III dental stone. Thirty-seven cast models were separated after one hour (control group) and 30 cast models were separated from impressions after 9 hours. The samples were evaluated under light microscope for surface details, measured by digital caliper for dimension stability and hardness was tested by making indentation on the cast then measuring the depth using digital caliper. Results: The dimension stability of cast models was not affected by increasing contact time between type III dental stone and alginate impression while surface details decreased. In the meanwhile, hardness was improved with increasing contact time. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, pouring of impression up to 9 hours can negatively affect the cast model properties in the term of details richness.

description: Introduction: Myelosuppression induced by cancer chemotherapy is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Febrile neutropenia (FN) represents an oncologic emergency requiring immediate evaluation and treatment. Resulting chemotherapy dose reductions or delays may compromise disease control and survival. While non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) represents a potentially curable malignancy, there are limited data on the risk of neutropenic complications. This review represents a systematic search and evidence summary of neutropenic complications reported in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published over the past decade in adults with NHL receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy. Areas covered: Data captured include the chemotherapy regimen and dosing, the type of NHL, sample size, myeloid growth factor (MGF) use, and myelosuppression including FN and severe neutropenia and infection. Expert opinion: Rates of neutropenic complications for commonly utilized chemotherapy regimens vary considerably across studies with FN reported in only one-fourth of study arms. Further challenges in interpreting reported rates are the variable and inconsistent use of MGF support and little or no information on delivered chemotherapy dose intensity. Considerable change in regimens, study populations and reporting of neutropenic events as well as the use of MGF was observed over the decade of RCTs reported. Complete and accurate reporting of treatment-related toxicities in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy is essential in both clinical trials and clinical practice.

description: Background: Contributory evidence on a direct association between asymptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) burden and thromboembolic events is conflicting and contradictory. The aim of the article is to gather evidence available for a direct correlation between burden and stroke. Methods: A literature search was performed to capture studies reporting data on the impact of asymptomatic AF burden on the risk of stroke. Data was then extracted from each included study including burden of AF, hazard ratio (HR) for stroke, and CHADS2 score. A random effects meta-analysis was carried out on the log-transformed HRs for different subgroups of AF burden. A meta-regression was performed on the two variables: burden of asymptomatic AF and CHADS2 score. Results: The random-effect pooled analysis performed on a single subgroup of the six studies reporting data on HR, showed a HR of 2.150 (95% CI 1.523–3.003) for stroke during asymptomatic AF compared to sinus rhythm. At univariate meta-regression, no correlation was detected between burden of asymptomatic AF and HR for stroke (p-value 0,874). When CHADS2 score was included in the regression model as a covariate, no significant association was detected (p-value 0,939). Conclusion: A direct correlation between burden of asymptomatic AF and HR for stroke cannot be detected in our pooled analysis. However, due to the limitations acknowledged in the analysis, our findings need to be confirmed in large cohort studies.

description: The metallic compound FeP belongs to the class of materials that feature a complex noncollinear spin order driven by magnetic frustration. While its double-helix magnetic structure with a period $λ_{\text{s}} \approx 5c$, where $c$ is the lattice constant, was previously well determined, the relevant spin-spin interactions that lead to that ground state remain unknown. By performing extensive inelastic neutron scattering measurements, we obtained the spin-excitation spectra in a large part of the momentum-energy space. The spectra show that the magnons are gapped with a gap energy of $\sim$5 meV. Despite the 3D crystal structure, the magnon modes display strongly anisotropic dispersions, revealing a quasi-one-dimensional character of the magnetic interactions in FeP. The physics of the material, however, is not determined by the dominating exchange, which is ferromagnetic. Instead, the weaker two-dimensional antiferromagnetic interactions between the rigid ferromagnetic spin chains drive the magnetic frustration. Using linear spin-wave theory, we were able to construct an effective Heisenberg Hamiltonian with an anisotropy term capable of reproducing the observed spectra. This enabled us to quantify the exchange interactions in FeP and determine the mechanism of its magnetic frustration.
