description: The effective restoration of the U_{A}(1) symmetry is revisited by implementing the functional renormalization group approach combining with the 2+1 flavor Polyakov-loop quark-meson model. A temperature-dependent 't Hooft term is taken to imitate the restoration of the U_{A}(1) symmetry. Order parameters, meson spectrum and mixing angles, especially the pressure and the entropy density of the system are calculated to explore the effects of different U_{A}(1) symmetry restoration patterns. We show then that the temperature for the restoration of the U_{A}(1) symmetry is much higher than that for the chiral symmetry SU_{A}(3).

description: We explore photometric properties of hypothetical iron core white dwarfs and compute their expected colors in UBVRI Johnson broadband system. Atmospheres of iron core WDs in this paper consist of pure iron covered by a pure hydrogen layer of an arbitrary column mass. LTE model atmospheres and theoretical spectra are calculated on the basis of Los Alamos TOPS opacities and the equation of state from the OPAL project, suitable for nonideal Fe and H gases. We have also computed UBVRI colors of the models and determined an area on the B-V vs. U-B and U-B vs. V-I planes, occupied by both pure Fe, and pure H model atmospheres of WD stars. Finally, we search for iron core white dwarf candidates in the available literature.

description: Introduction: Influenza Virus-like Particles (VLPs) are one of the most promising vaccine strategies to complement traditional egg-based processes and contribute to shortening the response time when facing future pandemics. Research programs have taken advantage of the potential of this approach to produce influenza VLPs on a variety of cellular platforms, reaching the industrial level of development and recent commercialization. Area covered: This review aims to give an overview of available strategies for influenza-VLP production and their respective stages of development, from small-scale preclinical studies to large-scale industrial processes. Recent trends and fulfillments in purification schemes of influenza VLP were also reviewed with regards to quality and potency requirements that go along with influenza vaccine manufacturing. Expert opinion: In the next five years, it is expected that there will be licensing of new influenza vaccine products based on VLP strategy. Few VLP upstream processes are mature enough and close to fully complement or seriously concurrence the ovoculture process. Nevertheless, many improvements have yet to be achieved in downstream processes. In the next few years, research efforts in this field are expected to provide purification strategies and tools to achieve higher recovery yields and improve the cost-effectiveness of VLP processes.

description: Because deep neural networks (DNNs) rely on a large number of parameters and computations, their implementation in energy-constrained systems is challenging. In this paper, we investigate the solution of reducing the supply voltage of the memories used in the system, which results in bit-cell faults. We explore the robustness of state-of-the-art DNN architectures towards such defects and propose a regularizer meant to mitigate their effects on accuracy. Our experiments clearly demonstrate the interest of operating the system in a faulty regime to save energy without reducing accuracy.
Splitting Instability of a Multiply Charged Vortex in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We consider the splitting mechanism of a multiply charged vortex into singly charged vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a harmonic potential at zero temperature. The Bogoliubov equations support unstable modes with complex eigenfrequencies (CE modes), which cause the splitting instability without the influence of thermal atoms. The investigation of the excitation spectra shows that the negative-energy (NE) mode plays an important role in the appearance of the CE modes. The configuration of vortices in splitting is determined by the angular momentum of the associated NE mode. This structure has also been confirmed by the numerical simulation of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

description: CSL-1 (Capodimonte--Sternberg--Lens Candidate, No.1) is an extragalactic double source detected in the OAC-DF (Osservatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte - Deep Field). It can be interpreted either as the chance alignment of two identical galaxies at z=0.46 or as the first case of gravitational lensing by a cosmic string. Extensive modeling shows in fact that cosmic strings are the only type of lens which (at least at low angular resolution) can produce undistorted double images of a background source. We propose an experimentum crucis to disentangle between these two possible explanations. If the lensing by a cosmic string should be confirmed, it would provide the first measurements of energy scale of symmetry breaking and of the energy scale of Grand Unified Theory (GUT).

description: Herin, new nicotinamide candidates were designed and synthesized as VEGFR-2 inhibitors. In vitro antiproliferative activities were assessed against MCF-7, HepG-2 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. The top cytotoxic members 15a, 15b, 16, 18a, and 18b were estimated against their selected target (VEGFR-2). Further mechanistic tests were studied for the most potent cytotoxic candidate 18a, these studies revealed the ability of compound 18a to hinder the progression of HCT-116 cells at S and Pre-G1phases besides boosting early and late apoptosis. Also compound 18a was found to significantly decrease the levels immunomodulatory proteins TNF-α and IL-6 while showing a four-fold rise in an apoptotic marker caspase-3 when compared to control cells. The therapeutic index of the designed derivatives was evaluated by computational ADMET and toxicity calculations as well as their potentiality to occupy the VEGFR-2 active site was signposted by molecular docking assessments. Finally, molecular dynamic simulation studies of compound 18a-VEGFR-2 complex indicated the high steadiness of compound 18a in the VEGFR-2 active site. This study presents compound 18a as a lead candidate that can be optimized to get a strong VEGFR-2 inhibitor.

description: In this paper the issue of nonlinearity and heterogeneity in the derivation of feed efficiency estimates for beef cattle based on performance data for 6253 animals is examined. Using parametric, non-parametric and integer programming approaches, we find evidence of nonlinearity between feed intake and measures of size and growth, and susceptibility of, feed efficiency estimates to assumptions pertaining to heterogeneity between animals and within cohorts. Further, differences in feed cost implied by selection based on different feed efficiency estimates were evaluated and compared-“costs of misspecification” of up to $280/kg DM was derived.

description: The pseudoscalar ``hairpin'' vertex (i.e. quark-disconnected vertex) plays a key role in quenched chiral perturbation theory. Direct calculations using lattice simulations find that it has a significant dependence on quark mass. I show that this mass dependence can be used to determine the quenched Gasser-Leutwyler constant L5. This complements the calculation of L5 using the mass dependence of the axial decay constant of the pion. In an appendix, I discuss power counting for quenched chiral perturbation theory and describe the particular scheme used in this paper.

description: The phase separation of the ferromagnetic (FM) and paramagnetic (PM) phases in the superconducting (SC) state of UCoGe at the FM critical region was investigated using $^{59}$Co nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) technique by taking advantage of its site-selective feature. The NQR measurements revealed that the first-order quantum phase transition occurs between the FM and the PM states. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ exhibited a clear drop at the SC state in the PM phase, whereas it was not detected in the FM phase, which indicates that the superconductivity in the FM phase becomes weaker at the FM critical region due to the presence of the PM SC state. This result suggests that the SC condensation energy of the PM SC state is equal or larger than that of the FM SC state in this region. The pressure-temperature phase diagram of UCoGe was modified by taking the results from this study into account.

Two exact solutions are shown as examples, which can serve to describe an inflation and a slow falling down of dynamical ``cosmological constant'' like it is given by the scalar quintessence. An attractive feature of vector field description is a generation of ``induced mass'' proportional to a Hubble constant, which results in a dynamical suppression of actual cosmological constant during the evolution.

description: The enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is a potential therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Many synthetic anti-DPP4 medications are available to treat T2DM. The need for secure and efficient medicines has been unmet due to the adverse side effects of existing DPP4 medications. The present study implemented a combined approach to machine learning and structure-based virtual screening to identify DPP4 inhibitors. Two ML models were trained based on DPP4 IC50 datasets. The ML models random forest (RF) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network showed good accuracy, with the area under the curve being 0.93 and 0.91, respectively. The natural compound library was screened through ML models, and 1% (217) of compounds were selected for further screening. Structure-based virtual screening was performed along with positive control sitagliptin to obtain more specific and selective leads for DPP4. Based on binding affinity, drug-likeness properties, and interaction with DPP4, Z-614 and Z-997 compounds showed high binding affinity and specificity in the catalytic pocket of DPP4. Finally, the stability conformation of the DPP4 enzyme complex was checked by a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The MD simulation showed that both compounds bind better in the catalytic pocket, but the Z-614 compound altered the DPP4 native conformation. Therefore, Z-614 showed a high deviation in the backbone. This combined approach (ML and structure-based) study reported that Z-997 binds most stably to DPP4 in their catalytic pocket with a binding free energy of −70.3 kJ/mol, suggesting its therapeutic potential as a treatment option for T2DM disease.

description: Automated medical image segmentation is a priority research area for computational methods. In particular, detection of cancerous tumors represents a current challenge in this area with potential for real-world impact. This paper describes a method developed in response to the 2019 Kidney Tumor Segmentation Challenge (KiTS19). Axial computed tomography (CT) scans from 210 kidney cancer patients were used to develop and evaluate this automatic segmentation method based on a logical ensemble of fully-convolutional network (FCN) architectures, followed by volumetric validation. Data was pre-processed using conventional computer vision techniques, thresholding, histogram equalization, morphological operations, centering, zooming and resizing. Three binary FCN segmentation models were trained to classify kidney and tumor (2), and only tumor (1), respectively. Model output images were stacked and volumetrically validated to produce the final segmentation for each patient scan. The average F1 score from kidney and tumor pixel classifications was calculated as 0.6758 using preprocessed images and annotations; although restoring to the original image format reduced this score. It remains to be seen how this compares to other solutions.

description: We study the statistics of the power flux into a collection of inelastic beads maintained in a fluidized steady-state by external mechanical driving. The power shows large fluctuations, including frequent large negative fluctuations, about its average value. The relative probabilities of positive and negative fluctuations in the power flux are in close accord with the Fluctuation Theorem of Gallavotti and Cohen, even at time scales shorter than those required by the theorem. We also compare an effective temperature that emerges from this analysis to the kinetic granular temperature.

Etiology of Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts Based on a Review of Risk Factors including Aging, Diabetes, and Ionizing Radiation

description: Purpose: Since the exact development of posterior subcapsular cataracts (PSCs) is poorly understood, we review various risk factors and propose a two-stage etiology for PSCs. Methods: The biological mechanisms associated with age-related cataracts (primarily nuclear cataracts, cortical cataracts and PSCs) were reviewed in relation to selected risk factors that induce PSCs (including atopy, diabetes, hypoparathyroidism, myopia, retinitis, solar radiation, steroid use, uveitis, vitrectomy and ionizing radiation). We particularly focused on ionizing radiation, as this is known to be a risk factor specific to PSCs. Based on an analysis of the reviewed material, we propose a detailed explanation of the etiology of PSCs. Conclusions: Lens epithelial cells (LECs) and lens fiber cells are normally hypoxic and therefore very sensitive to changes in oxidative stress, as quantified by the radiation oxygen effect. We hypothesize that the development of PSC opacities is a two-stage process. Stage I, early in life, is driven by risk factors that promote oxidative stress and ion-pump disruption, harming lens fibers and causing aberrant LECs to proliferate and ectopically migrate as Wedl cells (perhaps by processes associated with an epithelial to mesenchymal transition) to the posterior pole region. After a latent period, in Stage II the development of PSCs advances mainly due to chronic inflammation and other premature aging-related mechanisms that promote mature vacuolar or plaque PSC. This two-stage hypothesis of PSC etiology accounts for risk factors, such as aging, diabetes and ionizing radiation, which directly affects LECs and the lens. In addition, these risk factors can damage other ocular regions, such as the retina and vitreous, that also indirectly contribute to the development of PSCs. It is possible that the incidence of PSCs may be reduced by reversing the effects of Stage I through various means, including ocular antioxidants.

description: Purpose: It is reported inflammatory cytokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) could predict radiation-induced lung toxicity (RILT). RILT is believed to be a consequence of a cascade of cytokine production. It is considered that vascular endothelial cell and macrophages are the mainly source of cytokines. This study was investigated the production of IL-8 from cancer cells induced by X-rays may involve in the radiation-induced inflammation. Materials and methods: We analyzed IL-8 in human lung cancer cell lines after expose to X-rays, and we also detect IL-8 in HUVEC cells and THP1 cells as endothelial cell and macrophage model to identify the change in normal cells after expose. Furthermore, we added the inhibitors to the culture with or without radiation to identify the role of MAPK and NF-κB pathways on the radiation-induced secretion of IL-8. Results: Radiation could induce IL-8 production both in non-lung cancer cells (HUVECs and THP1 cells) and in lung cancer cells (A549 cells, H446 cells, PC-9 cells). Simultaneously, radiation activated p38/MAPK and NF-𝜅B signal pathways in lung cancer cells. Moreover, p38/MAPK inhibitor SB203580 and NF-κB inhibitor BAY11-7082 could block the IL-8 up-regulated by X-rays but JNK inhibitor SP600125, ERK inhibitor U0126, ROS Scavenger NAC could not inhibit this phenomenon. Conclusions: X-rays could induce IL-8 production in lung cancer cells, which may be related to the activation of p38/MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathway, providing a new point for elucidating the mechanism of radiation pneumonitis.

description: Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO) ACIS-S spectra of three quasars which lie behind three foreground damped Lyman alpha (DLA) absorbers are analyzed in order to attempt to determine the amount of photoelectric absorption due to metals present in their x-ray spectra. These absorbers are the three largest neutral hydrogen column density absorption-line systems known at low redshift (0.313 \le z_abs \le 0.524). They have HI column densities which lie between 3E21 and 5E21 atoms/cm^2. At these redshifts the amount of photoelectric absorption at x-ray energies is primarily an indicator of the oxygen abundance. Since the column densities of these systems are so high, one would expect accurate metallicity measurements of them to yield a robust estimate of the column-density-weighted cosmic neutral-gas-phase metallicity at z \approx 0.4. We consider cases where the DLA gas has solar element abundance ratios and ones with the alpha-group element abundance ratios enhanced. For the adopted assumptions, the column-density-weighted cosmic neutral-gas-phase metallicity of the non-enhanced elements (e.g. Zn) at z \approx 0.4 likely lies in the range \approx 0.04-0.38 Z_solar.

description: Animals are exposed to environmental ionizing radiation (IR) externally through proximity to contaminated soil and internally through ingestion and inhalation of radionuclides. Internal organs can respond to radioactive contamination through physiological stress. Chronic stress can compromise the size of physiologically active organs, but studies on wild mammal populations are scarce. The effects of environmental IR contamination on organ masses were studied by using a wild rodent inhabiting the Chernobyl exclusion zone (CEZ). The masses of brain, heart, kidney, spleen, liver and lung were assessed from bank voles (Myodes glareolus) captured from areas across radioactive contamination gradient within the CEZ. Relative organ masses were used to correct for the body mass of an individual. Results showed a significant negative correlation between IR level in the environment and relative brain and kidney mass. A significant positive correlation between IR and relative heart mass was also found. Principal component analysis (PCA) also suggested positive relationship between IR and relative spleen mass; however, this relationship was not significant when spleen was analyzed separately. There was no apparent relationship between IR and relative liver or lung mass. Results suggest that in the wild populations even low but chronic doses of IR can lead to changes in relative organ mass. The novelty of these result is showing that exposure to low doses can affect the organ masses in similar fashion as previously shown on high, acute, radiation doses. These data support the hypothesis that wildlife might be more sensitive to IR than animals used in laboratory studies. However, more research is needed to rule out the other indirect effects such as radiosensitivity of the food sources or possible combined stress effects from e.g. infections.

description: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., and tumorous cancers such as cervical, lung, breast, and ovarian cancers are the most common types. APOBEC3B is a nonessential cytidine deaminase found in humans and theorized to defend against viral infection. However, overexpression of APOBEC3B is linked to cancer in humans, which makes APOBEC3B a potential cancer treatment target through competitive inhibition for several tumorous cancers. Computational studies can help reveal a small molecule inhibitor using high-throughput virtual screening of millions of candidates with relatively little cost. This study aims to narrow the field of potential APOBEC3B inhibition candidates for future in vitro assays and provide an effective scaffold for drug design studies. Another goal of this project is to provide critical amino acid targets in the active site for future drug design studies. This study simulated 7.8 million drug candidates using high-throughput virtual screening and further processed the top scoring 241 molecules from AutoDock Vina, DOCK 6, and de novo design. Using virtual screening, de novo design, and molecular dynamics simulations, a competitive inhibitor candidate was discovered with an average binding free energy score of −46.03 kcal/mol, more than 10 kcal/mol better than the substrate control (dCMP). These results indicate that this molecule (or a structural derivative) may be an effective inhibitor of APOBEC3B and prevent host genome mutagenesis resulting from protein overexpression. Another important finding is the confirmation of essential amino acid targets, such as Tyr250 and Gln213 within the active site of APOBEC3B. Therefore, study used novel computational methods to provide a theoretical scaffold for future drug design studies that may prove useful as a treatment for epithelial cancers.

description: In the wake of the highly electrified future ahead of us, the role of energy storage is crucial wherever distributed generation is abundant, such as in microgrid settings. Given the variety of storage options that are becoming more and more economical, determining which type of storage technology to invest in, along with the appropriate timing and capacity becomes a critical research question. It is inevitable that these problems will continue to become increasingly relevant in the future and require strategic planning and holistic and modern frameworks in order to be solved. Reinforcement Learning algorithms have already proven to be successful in problems where sequential decision-making is inherent. In the operations planning area, these algorithms are already used but mostly in short-term problems with well-defined constraints. On the contrary, we expand and tailor these techniques to long-term planning by utilizing model-free algorithms combined with simulation-based models. A model and expansion plan have been developed to optimally determine microgrid designs as they evolve to dynamically react to changing conditions and to exploit energy storage capabilities. We show that it is possible to derive better engineering solutions that would point to the types of energy storage units which could be at the core of future microgrid applications. Another key finding is that the optimal storage capacity threshold for a system depends heavily on the price movements of the available storage units. By utilizing the proposed approaches, it is possible to model inherent problem uncertainties and optimize the whole streamline of sequential investment decision-making.

description: We propose a novel neural architecture search algorithm via reinforcement learning by decoupling structure and operation search processes. Our approach samples candidate models from the multinomial distribution on the policy vectors defined on the two search spaces independently. The proposed technique improves the efficiency of architecture search process significantly compared to the conventional methods based on reinforcement learning with the RNN controllers while achieving competitive accuracy and model size in target tasks. Our policy vectors are easily interpretable throughout the training procedure, which allows to analyze the search progress and the discovered architectures; the black-box characteristics of the RNN controllers hamper understanding training progress in terms of policy parameter updates. Our experiments demonstrate outstanding performance compared to the state-of-the-art methods with a fraction of search cost.
Best practices for building social networking sites and attracting members

Subjects: Applied Psychology

description: This study conducts a review of the literature to identify best practices for building social media sites and growing a user base. To inform practitioners, these best practices are presented in rank-order lists. Among the best practices identified, the most important include such themes as promoting personal connections, sharing information and meeting individuals’ desires. The study concludes that website builders should place less focus on aesthetics, and more on the perceived needs of users. This requires careful planning from the outset of the development process. Furthermore, these best practices should serve as a lens for decision-making throughout the lifetime of the site.

description: Bilateral investment treaties (BITs), signed by developing countries explicitly state the objective of promoting foreign direct investment (FDI). The rapid increase in the number of BITs and the concurrent increase in worldwide flows of FDI between 1980 and 2003 suggest that BITs are an effective strategy toward this goal. Recent studies provide some empirical support for this link. However, FDI flows into specific countries from 1980 to 2003 reveals the puzzling behavior for flows to increase soon after country starts signing BITs, followed by fluctuations with either a downward trend or no noticeable trend at all. Our main contribution is to explain this behavior by explicitly incorporating the impact of treaty violations, as evidenced by treaty disputes arbitrated by the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, on FDI flows. We find that while BITs are effective in attracting investment, disputes tend to decrease future investment flows.
Coupling Poisson and Jacobi structures on foliated manifolds

description: Let M be a differentiable manifold endowed with a foliation F. A Poisson structure P on M is F-coupling if the image of the annihilator of TF by the sharp-morphism defined by P is a normal bundle of the foliation F. This notion extends Sternberg's coupling symplectic form of a particle in a Yang-Mills field. In the present paper we extend Vorobiev's theory of coupling Poisson structures from fiber bundles to foliations and give simpler proofs of Vorobiev's existence and equivalence theorems of coupling Poisson structures on duals of kernels of transitive Lie algebroids over symplectic manifolds. Then we discuss the extension of the coupling condition to Jacobi structures on foliated manifolds.

description: The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 (FSPTCA) became federal law on June 22, 2009, authorizing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate the manufacturing and marketing of tobacco products in the country. This study examines the potential economic welfare implications for tobacco farms using the Equilibrium Displacement Model. Results suggest that the FDA regulation of tobacco products could induce a significant fall in domestic cigarette sales, leading to a significant loss in tobacco revenue and economic benefits. Therefore, despite the fact that tobacco growers are excluded from FDA authority in the FSPTCA of 2009, they are indirectly and adversely affected.
Search for pair-produced leptoquarks in e+e- interactions at sqrt(s) = 189 - 209 GeV
Creators: name: The OPAL Collaboration

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for pair-produced leptoquarks is performed using e+e- collision events collected by the OPAL detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 209 GeV. The data sample corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 596 pb^-1. The leptoquarks are assumed to be produced via couplings to the photon and the Z0. For a given search channel only leptoquark decays involving a single lepton generation are considered. No evidence for leptoquark pair production is observed. Lower limits on masses for scalar and vector leptoquarks are calculated. The results improve most of the LEP limits derived from previous searches for the pair production process by 10-25 GeV, depending on the leptoquark quantum numbers.

The penetration parameter lambda = -1.2(6) and mixing ratio |delta| = 0.015(2) were deduced by fitting to literature values and present data. The shake probability of the conversion electrons is estimated to be 0.5, more than two times larger than the predicted value of 0.2.

description: The present study attempts to re-investigate the behaviour of disaggregated public expenditures data and national income for Malaysia. This study covers the sample period of annual data from 1960 to 2007. The Bartlett-corrected trace tests proposed by Johansen (2002) were used to ascertain the presence of long run equilibrium relationship between public expenditures and national income. The results show one cointegrating vector for each specification of public expenditures. The relatively new MWALD test indicates a strong unidirectional causal effect runs from national income to public expenditures in Malaysia. While, bilateral causality evident exists merely between public expenditure on health and national income. In Malaysia, it is not a wise strategy to solely depend on fiscal policy for long-term economic development.
