description: This study investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying the anticancer activity of hesperidin and luteolin, isolated from Eriocephalus africanus, in the human breast carcinoma cell line (MCF-7). The viability of MCF-7 cells, upon treatment with hesperidin and luteolin, was evaluated using the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) cytotoxicity assay; apoptotic activity and effect on cell cycle progression were analysed by flow cytometry; effect on expression of key apoptotic regulatory genes (caspase-3, -8, -9, Bcl-2 and Bax) and apoptotic microRNAs (-16, -21 and -34a) were evaluated using quantitative real-time PCR. Hesperidin and luteolin reduced cell viability in a dose and time-dependent manner, caused a significant accumulation of apoptotic cells into the G0/G1 and sub-G1 cell cycle phases, induced apoptosis through the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, down-regulated anti-apoptotic, Bcl-2, and upregulated pro-apoptotic, Bax. In addition, hesperidin and luteolin significantly downregulated the expression of miR-21 and upregulated that of miR-16 and -34a in MCF-7. Spearman`s rank analysis revealed a positive correlation between Bcl-2 and miR-21 and negative correlation between Bcl-2, miR-16 and -34a. Findings from this study provide new evidence on the molecular basis of the anticancer activity of luteolin and hesperidin in breast cancer cell lines. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: We examine the vertical structure of Galactic disk kinematics over a Galactocentric radial distance range of $R=5-15$ $\rm{kpc}$ and up to $3$ $\rm{kpc}$ away from the Galactic plane, using the K-type giants surveyed by LAMOST. Based on robust measurements of three-dimensional velocity moments, a wobbly disk is detected in a phenomenological sense. An outflow dominates the radial motion of the inner disk, while in the outer disk there exist alternate outward and inward flows. The vertical bulk velocities is a combination of breathing and bending modes. A contraction-like breathing mode with amplitudes increasing with the distance to the plane and an upward bending mode dominate the vertical motion outside $R_0$, and there are reversed breathing mode and bending mode at $R

description: Despite the continued global spread of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the nonavailability of a vaccine or targeted drug against this disease is still prevailing. The most established mechanism of viral entry into the body is considered to be via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) acting as a receptor for viral spike protein thereby facilitating its entry in the cell. However, ACE2 is also involved in providing the protection from severe pathological changes. This article provides a computational and bioinformatics-based analysis of ACE2 with an objective of providing further insight into the earnest efforts to determine its true position in COVID-19 pathology. The results of this study show that ACE2 has strikingly low expression in healthy human lung tissue and was absent from the list of differentially expressed genes. However, when transcription factors were analyzed, we found a significant upregulation of FOS and downregulation of FOXO4 and FOXP2. Moreover, the miRNA prediction analysis revealed that miR-1246, whose upregulation has been experimentally established to be a cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), was found to be targeting the coding DNA sequence (CDS) of ACE2. This study presents a wide range of potentially important transcription factors as well as miRNA targets associated with ACE2 which can be potentially used for drug designing amid this challenging pandemic situation.

We pay special attention to nuclear corrections besides Pauli blocking: Long and Short range nuclear correlations (RPA and SRC) and particle and hole Spectral Functions (SF). We also critically review the use of the Plane and Distorted Wave Impulse approximations (PWIA and DWIA) to describe inclusive one nucleon knockout reactions off nuclei. In this context, we present results from a Monte Carlo cascade method to account for the rescattering of the outgoing nucleon. Finally, we examine the effects of chiral non-resonant terms in neutrino pion production off the nucleon, and present some preliminary results on nuclear coherent pion production induced by neutrinos.

description: Vortices are believed to greatly help the formation of km sized planetesimals by collecting dust particles in their centers. However, vortex dynamics is commonly studied in non-self-gravitating disks. The main goal here is to examine the effects of disk self-gravity on the vortex dynamics via numerical simulations. In the self-gravitating case, when quasi-steady gravitoturbulent state is reached, vortices appear as transient structures undergoing recurring phases of formation, growth to sizes comparable to a local Jeans scale, and eventual shearing and destruction due to gravitational instability. Each phase lasts over 2-3 orbital periods. Vortices and density waves appear to be coupled implying that, in general, one should consider both vortex and density wave modes for a proper understanding of self-gravitating disk dynamics. Our results imply that given such an irregular and rapidly changing, transient character of vortex evolution in self-gravitating disks it may be difficult for such vortices to effectively trap dust particles in their centers that is a necessary process towards planet formation.

description: Current sickle cell disease (SCD) therapies are limited and inefficient. The ethnomedicinal values of Annona muricata in the treatment of SCD, leading to this present research. Leaves and fruits of Annona muricata were processed using solvent extraction and partitioning; aqueous, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions. In vitro (anti-oxidant and anti-sickling), in silico, quantitative (amino acids) and kinetic simulation experiments were done. 15-acetyl guanacone, was used, in silico against 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2, 3-BPG) mutase and deoxyhaemoglobin. The ethyl acetate and chloroform fractions better NO● scavengers, iron-chelators and ferric reducing. In vitro unsickling (UT50) had ethyl acetate = 5 h and methanol = 7 h. Chloroform fraction had EC50 1.00 mg/mL (EC50 = 546 mg/mL) to 10.00 mg/mL (EC50 = 99 mg/mL). EC50 and IC50 of ethyl acetate fraction had steady-decrease. At higher concentration, chloroform fraction had higher Bmax (1.48 × 1021 U/mL) and higher Kd (3.66 × 1019 mg/mL), whereas, at a lower concentration, the ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated higher Bmax (7.23 × 1012 U/mL) and lower Kd (2.12 × 1011 mg/mL); The relative affinity (BP) of chloroform fraction increased progressively with concentration. The amino acid profile revealed rich concentrations glycine, valine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, histidine, arginine, and tryptophan. From the in silico experiments, 15-acetyl guanacone specifically targeted the A and B chains, with greater affinity for the beta subunit. This suggested that 15-acetyl guanacone might be able to prevent the polymerisation of deoxyHbSS, induce an allosteric conformational change that increases the oxygen affinity, and decrease the cellular 2, 3-BPG concentration.

Regarding this inverse-type problem, we formulate a general conjecture and prove, among other results, that this conjecture holds true for finite cyclic groups, finite Abelian p-groups and for finite Abelian groups of rank two. Also, the results obtained here enable us to improve, via the resolution of a linear integer program, a result of W. Gao and A. Geroldinger concerning the minimal number of elements with maximal order in a long zero-sumfree sequence of a finite Abelian group of rank two.

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: Measuring the similarity of short written contexts is a fundamental problem in Natural Language Processing. This article provides a unifying framework by which short context problems can be categorized both by their intended application and proposed solution. The goal is to show that various problems and methodologies that appear quite different on the surface are in fact very closely related. The axes by which these categorizations are made include the format of the contexts (headed versus headless), the way in which the contexts are to be measured (first-order versus second-order similarity), and the information used to represent the features in the contexts (micro versus macro views). The unifying thread that binds together many short context applications and methods is the fact that similarity decisions must be made between contexts that share few (if any) words in common.

description: We propose a method to generate entangled light with a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a cavity, a system realized in recent experiments. The atoms of the condensate are trapped in a periodic potential generated by a cavity mode. The condensate is continuously pumped by a laser and spontaneously emits a pair of photons of different frequencies in two distinct cavity modes. In this way, the condensate mediates entanglement between two cavity modes which leak out and can be separated and exhibit continuous variable entanglement. The scheme exploits the experimentally demonstrated strong, steady and collective coupling of condensate atoms to a cavity field.

Jahrestag des 'Anschlusses' Österreichs an Deutschland (von Schluss mit Schuld und 38 täglichen Spots bis zu Informationsformaten). Unsere Kritik der Geschichtspolitiken von Inszenierungen und Diskurslogiken steht im Kontext von Fragen zur Fernseh-Vermittlung österreichischer (Post-)Nationalsozialismus-Geschichte in Zeiten der Rückkehr nationalautoritären Regierens (mit Fokus u.a. aufs Verhältnis der FPÖ zum Holocaust). Spezifischer wird dargelegt, wie Faschismus als etwas von Gegenwartsbezügen gänzlich Getrenntes vermittelt wird (als Regime der Steifheit bzw. Mysterium); wie Antifaschismus vom Nachkriegs-Grundkonsens zu einer Geschichtsposition neben anderen (z.B. revisionistischen) gerät; und wie das Medienphänomen des "Versprechers" als "Programm-Ansage" autotherapeutische Offenbarungsmomente zeitigt.

Three Dimensional Lattice-Boltzmann Model for Electrodynamics

description: In this paper we introduce a novel 3D Lattice-Boltzmann model that recovers in the continuous limit the Maxwell equations in materials. In order to build conservation equations with antisymmetric tensors, like the Faraday law, the model assigns four auxiliary vectors to each velocity vector. These auxiliary vectors, when combined with the distribution functions, give the electromagnetic fields. The evolution is driven by the usual BGK collision rule, but with a different form for the equilibrium distribution functions. This LBGK model allows us to consider for both dielectrics and conductors with realistic parameters, and therefore it is adequate to simulate the most diverse electromagnetic problems, like the propagation of electromagnetic waves (both in dielectric media and in waveguides), the skin effect, the radiation pattern of a small dipole antenna and the natural frequencies of a resonant cavity, all with 2% accuracy. Actually, it shows to be one order of magnitude faster than the original FDTD formulation by Yee to reach the same accuracy. It is, therefore, a valuable alternative to simulate electromagnetic fields and opens lattice Boltzmann for a broad spectrum of new applications in electrodynamics. In this paper we develop a 3D Lattice-Boltzmann model that recovers in the continuous limit the Maxwell equations for macroscopic mediums. The model can sucessfully reproduces the propagation of the electromagnetic waves in dielectric mediums and waveguide, the skin effect, the electrical dipole radiation and the electromagnetic response of a resonant cavity.

description: Template-based searches for gravitational waves are often limited by the computational cost associated with searching large parameter spaces. The study of efficient template banks, in the sense of using the smallest number of templates, is therefore of great practical interest. The "traditional" approach to template-bank construction requires every point in parameter space to be covered by at least one template, which rapidly becomes inefficient at higher dimensions. Here we study an alternative approach, where any point in parameter space is covered only with a given probability < 1. We find that by giving up complete coverage in this way, large reductions in the number of templates are possible, especially at higher dimensions. The prime examples studied here are "random template banks", in which templates are placed randomly with uniform probability over the parameter space. In addition to its obvious simplicity, this method turns out to be surprisingly efficient. We analyze the statistical properties of such random template banks, and compare their efficiency to traditional lattice coverings. We further study "relaxed" lattice coverings (using Zn and An* lattices), which similarly cover any signal location only with probability < 1. The relaxed An* lattice is found to yield the most efficient template banks at low dimensions (n < 10), while random template banks increasingly outperform any other method at higher dimensions.

Eccentric millisecond pulsars by resonant convection

description: Eccentric millisecond pulsars (eMSPs) with white dwarf companions exhibit orbital eccentricities orders of magnitude larger than predicted by turbulent convection in the white dwarfs' red giant progenitors. The orbital periods of eMSPs cluster around $P=20-30$ d, remarkably close to the red giant convective eddy turnover time $t_{\rm eddy}$. We propose that the anomalously large eccentricities are resonantly driven by convective flows somehow made coherent when the turnover time matches the tidally locked red giant's spin period, which is also the tidal forcing period. Numerical simulations of rotating red giants and magnetic field studies of stars show some evidence for especially ordered flow patterns when the convective Rossby number $P/t_{\rm eddy}$ is of order unity. We show that resonant convection boosts eccentricities by a factor of $(t_{\rm nuc}/P)^{1/2}\approx 3\times 10^3$ over the random-walk values that characterize conventional MSPs, in good agreement with observations ($t_{\rm nuc}$ is the giant's nuclear burning time-scale). We also show how variations in the eddy turnover time arising from red giant metallicity variations can reproduce the observed effective width of the resonance, $ΔP/P\approx 0.4$.

The measurement of railway operating performance with an application to Pakistan Railways
Creators: name: Mian, Abdul Waheed
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Though rail transport plays a significant role in national economies and development, no standard method for evaluating railroad operating performance exists. In this study, a comprehensive and accurate performance evaluation system for total railway performance is developed. Railroad operation involves three conceptual types of dimensions: technical, service quality, and economic. Main activities of rail operations are categorized by each of these dimensions and measured over a suitable time span. The multi-faceted nature of these activities makes it important that a number of measures be employed in the analysis. A specific combination of statistical indicators required to accurately measure each activity is selected from an extensive list of performance measures (identified in the study). The criteria used in the selection is discussed. A qualitative analysis accompanies the quantitative measures as it is essential to take into account various environmental and institutional factors. Evaluation of a railway's operating performance employs both intra-rai1 road analysis (performance of a railroad over time) and a comparison with other railroads. Such a combined analysis ensures a wider perspective and leads to a comprehensive assessment of performance. The average annual growth rate (obtained by regression analysis) is used as a yardstick for gauging relative performance levels. The procedure developed here is applied to evaluate the total operating performance of Pakistan Railways for the period 1968 through 1977. The Saint Louis San Francisco Railway Company (of the United States) is chosen for comparison. The analysis indicates that in 1968, technical, service quality and economic performance of Pakistan Railways were quite below those of modern railroads in the world. And during 1968 through 1977, there was virtually no improvement. In fact, efficiency declined in almost all aspects of rail operation and financial losses incurred. Meanwhile, other railroads continued to make their operations yet more efficient and profitable. In addition, the analysis contrasts the differing performance levels between railway systems in developed and less developed countries. Finally, recommendations are suggested for improving the evaluation system developed as well as the efficiency of operations on Pakistan Railways.

description: Die Wissens- und Informationsgesellschaft des 21. Jahrhunderts und damit auch die Erziehungs- und Bildungswissenschaft sehen sich auf verschiedenen Ebenen mit Fragen der Robotik und des Computational Thinking (CT) konfrontiert. So ist schon das Wissen der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts spätestens seit dem Ende des 2. Weltkriegs zutiefst von Diskussionen zu Kybernetik und Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) geprägt und hat etwa seit den 60er Jahren – auch in der Nähe der Schwerindustrie – intensive Diskussionen zu Lehr- und Lernmaschinen im Sinne einer kybernetischen Pädagogik angeregt.

description: We demonstrate that a supercurrent can pump energy from a battery that provides a voltage bias into nanomechanical vibrations. Using a device containing a nanowire Josephson weak link as an example we show that a nonlinear coupling between the supercurrent and a static external magnetic field leads to a Lorentz force that excites bending vibrations of the wire at resonance conditions. We also demonstrate the possibility to achieve more than one regime of stationary nonlinear vibrations and how to detect them via the associated dc Josephson currents and we discuss possible applications of such a multistable nanoelectromechanical dynamics.

description: Gallic acid (PubChem CID: 370) and quercetin (PubChem CID: 5280343) are major phenolic compounds in many mangrove plants that have been related to health cure. In the present study, the active fractions namely gallic acid (1) and quercetin (2) were isolated from the methanolic extract of leaves of Ceriops tagal in a Tropical mangrove ecosystem of Andaman and Nicobar Island (ANI), India. The chemical structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis: Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1H, 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The anticancer activity of isolated compounds (1) and (2) were evaluated by in vitro assays against two human cancer cell lines namely, HeLa (Cervical) and MDA-MB231 (Breast) cancer cells revealed that IC50 values of gallic acid (HeLa: 4.179197 ± 0.45 µg/ml; MDA-MB231: 80.0427 ± 0.19 µg/ml at 24 h) and quercetin (HeLa: 99.914 ± 0.18 µg/ml; MDA-MB231: 18.288382 ± 0.12 µg/ml at 24 h), respectively. Antioxidant properties of gallic acid (1) and quercetin (2) are found to be IC50 value of 0.77 ± 0.41 µg/ml and 1.897 ± 0.81 µg/ml, respectively. Molecular docking results explained that gallic acid (1) and quercetin (2) showed estimated binding free energy (ΔG) of −5.4 and −6.9 kcal/mol towards drug target Bcl-B protein, respectively. The estimated inhibition constant (Ki) for these two molecules are 110 and 8.75 μM, respectively. The MD simulation additionally supported that quercetin molecule is significantly improved the structural stability of Bcl-B protein. The present study provides key insights about the importance of polyphenols, and thus leads to open the therapeutic route for anti-cancer drug discovery process. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: We consider a multidimensional cosmological model with nonlinear quadratic $R^2$ and quartic $R^4$ actions. As a matter source, we include a monopole form field, D-dimensional bare cosmological constant and tensions of branes located in fixed points. In the spirit of the Universal Extra Dimensions models, the Standard Model fields are not localized on branes but can move in the bulk. We define conditions which ensure the stable compactification of the internal space in zero minimum of the effective potentials. Such effective potentials may have rather complicated form with a number of local minima, maxima and saddle points. Then, we investigate inflation in these models. It is shown that $R^2$ and $R^4$ models can have up to 10 and 22 e-foldings, respectively. These values are not sufficient to solve the homogeneity and isotropy problem but big enough to explain the recent CMB data. Additionally, $R^4$ model can provide conditions for eternal topological inflation. However, the main drawback of the given inflationary models consists in a value of spectral index $n_s$ which is less than observable now $n_s\approx 1$. For example, in the case of $R^4$ model we find $n_s \approx 0.61$.

description: Production in an economy is a set of firms' activities as suppliers and customers; a firm buys goods from other firms, puts value added and sells products to others in a giant network of production. Empirical study is lacking despite the fact that the structure of the production network is important to understand and make models for many aspects of dynamics in economy. We study a nation-wide production network comprising a million firms and millions of supplier-customer links by using recent statistical methods developed in physics. We show in the empirical analysis scale-free degree distribution, disassortativity, correlation of degree to firm-size, and community structure having sectoral and regional modules. Since suppliers usually provide credit to their customers, who supply it to theirs in turn, each link is actually a creditor-debtor relationship. We also study chains of failures or bankruptcies that take place along those links in the network, and corresponding avalanche-size distribution.

description: In viral replication and transcription, the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 plays an important role and appears to be a vital target for drug design. In Mpro, there is a Cys–His catalytic dyad, and ligands that interact with the Cys145 assumed to be an effective approach to inhibit the Mpro. In this study, approximately 1400 cysteine-focused ligands were screened to identify the best candidates that can act as potent inhibitors against Mpro. Our results show that the selected ligands strongly interact with the key Cys145 and His41 residues. Covalent docking was performed for the selected candidates containing the acrylonitrile group, which can form a covalent bond with Cys145. All atoms molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed on the selected four inhibitors including L1, L2, L3 and L4 to validate the docking interactions. Our results were also compared with a control ligand, α-ketoamide (11r). Principal component analysis on structural and energy data obtained from the MD trajectories shows that L1, L3, L4 and α-ketoamide (11r) have structural similarity with the apo-form of the Mpro. Quantitative structure-activity relationship method was employed for pattern recognition of the best ligands, which discloses that ligands containing acrylonitrile and amide warheads can show better performance. ADMET analysis displays that our selected candidates appear to be safer inhibitors. Our combined studies suggest that the best cysteine focused ligands can help to design an effective lead drug for COVID-19 treatment. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Lattice QCD at finite chemical potential is difficult due to the sign problem. We use stochastic quantization and complex Langevin dynamics to study this issue. First results for QCD in the hopping expansion are encouraging. U(1) and SU(3) one link models are used to gain further insight into why the method appears to be successful.
