description: Most biogeographers considered the Maghreb to be part of the Palearctic biogeographic region, though it is relatively recently that the proportion of Palearctic species increased there. How and when exactly these biogeographic changes occurred is not well understood, but they are probably the result of the increasing aridification of the Sahara and decreasing global temperatures. Fossils of Bos primigenius and Ceratotherium simum from a new fossil locality in a terrace of the Oued el Haï (NE Morocco) contribute to our understanding of some of these biogeographic processes and their timing. They also suggest an age between ~57 and ~100 ka for the terrace. The same evolutionary change in Bos in Europe and the Maghreb suggests geneflow as the most parsimonious explanation, though parallel evolution is an alternative possibility. Oued el Haï has the oldest well-documented record of C. simum in the Maghreb. The dispersal of this species to North Africa, where it replaced C. mauritanicum, may have occurred during a ‘Green Sahara Period’ between 80–85 or 100–105 ka, when the Maghreb had acquired already a Palearctic character. The study of the biogeography and requirements of the large mammals of the Maghreb may provide information to calibrate the region’s climate modelling.

description: We present R-Matrix with time dependence (RMT) calculations for the photoionization of helium irradiated by an EUV laser pulse and an overlapping IR pulse with an emphasis on the anisotropy parameters of the sidebands generated by the dressing laser field. We investigate how these parameters depend on the amount of atomic structure included in the theoretical model for two-photon ionization. To verify the accuracy of the RMT approach, our theoretical results are compared with experiment.

description: We report the existence of novel static spherical black-hole solutions in a vector-tensor gravitational theory called the bumblebee gravity model which extends the Einstein-Maxwell theory by allowing the vector to nonminimally couple to the Ricci curvature tensor. A test of the solutions in the strong-field regime is performed for the first time using the recent observations of the supermassive black-hole shadows in the galaxy M87 and the Milky Way from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. The parameter space is found largely unexcluded and more experiments are needed to fully bound the theory.

description: Tissue damage occurs in COVID-19 patients due to nsp3-induced Fas-FasL interaction/TNF-related apoptosis. Presently, possible therapeutic-drug, nigellidine against was screened by bioinformatics studies COVID-19. Atomic-Contact-Energy (ACE) and binding-blocking effects were explored of nigellidine (Nigella sativa L.) in the active/catalytic sites of viral-protein nsp3 and host inflammatory/apoptotic signaling-molecules Fas/TNF receptors TNFR1/TNFR2. A control binding/inhibition of Oseltamivir to influenza-virus neuraminidase was compared here. In AutoDock, Oseltamivir binding-energy (BE) and inhibition-constant (KI) was −4.12 kcal/mol and 959.02. The ACE values (PatchDock) were −167.02/-127.61/-124.91/-122.17/-54.81/-47.07. The nigellidine BE/KI with nsp3 was −7.61 and 2.66, respectively (ACE values were −221.40/-215.62/-113.28). Nigellidine blocked FAS dimer by binding with a BE value of −7.41 kcal/mol. Its strong affinities to TNFR1 (-6.81) and TNFR2 (-5.1) are demonstrated. Our present data suggest that nigellidine may significantly block the TNF-induced inflammatory/Fas-induced apoptotic death-signaling in comparison with a positive-control drug Oseltamivir. Further studies are necessary before proposing nigellidine as medical drug.

description: We consider polynomials $P_n$ orthogonal with respect to the weight $J_ν$ on $[0,\infty)$, where $J_ν$ is the Bessel function of order $ν$. Asheim and Huybrechs considered these polynomials in connection with complex Gaussian quadrature for oscillatory integrals. They observed that the zeros are complex and accumulate as $n \to \infty$ near the vertical line $\textrm{Re}\, z = \frac{νπ}{2}$. We prove this fact for the case $0 \leq ν\leq 1/2$ from strong asymptotic formulas that we derive for the polynomials $P_n$ in the complex plane. Our main tool is the Riemann-Hilbert problem for orthogonal polynomials, suitably modified to cover the present situation, and the Deift-Zhou steepest descent method. A major part of the work is devoted to the construction of a local parametrix at the origin, for which we give an existence proof that only works for $ν\leq 1/2$.

We present a microscopic theory that explains the numerically observed phenomena, including an exact theory of the shear modulus and of the plastic instabilities, both local and system spanning. In addition we present a model to explain the geometric changes in the oligomeric chains under increasing strains.

description: The expression of virulence factors, such as biofilm formation, in association with the acquisition of resistance to multiple drugs, has evidenced the need for new and effective antimicrobial agents against Staphylococcus aureus. The evaluation of the pharmacological properties of plant-derived compounds is a promising alternative to the development of new antimicrobials. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the antibacterial, antibiofilm, and the synergistic and cytotoxic effects of netzahualcoyonol isolated from Salacia multiflora (Lam.) DC. roots. Netzahualcoyonol presented bacteriostatic (1.56–25.0 µg/mL) and bactericidal (25.0–400.0 µg/mL) effects against Gram-positive bacteria, disrupted the biofilm of S. aureus, and presented a synergistic effect after its combination with β-lactams and aminoglycosides. The low cytotoxicity of netzahualcoyonol (Selectivity Index (SI) for S. aureus (2.56), S. saprophyticus (20.56), and Bacillus subtilis (1.28)) suggests a good security profile. Taken together, these results show that netzahualcoyonol is promising for the development of a new effective antibacterial agent. Graphical abstract

description: Different variants of hybrid kinetic-fluid models are considered for describing the interaction of a bulk fluid plasma obeying MHD and an energetic component obeying a kinetic theory. Upon using the Vlasov kinetic theory for energetic particles, two planar Vlasov-MHD models are compared in terms of their stability properties. This is made possible by the Hamiltonian structures underlying the considered hybrid systems, whose infinite number of invariants makes the energy-Casimir method effective for determining stability. Equilibrium equations for the models are obtained from a variational principle and in particular a generalized hybrid Grad-Shafranov equation follows for one of the considered models. The stability conditions are then derived and discussed with particular emphasis on kinetic particle effects on classical MHD stability.

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: This study is the first experimental verification of the Landauer bound on a single spin, which is the smallest information carrier in size. We used four experiments (single spin experiment, giant spin experiment, nanomagnet experiment, and Stern-Gerlach experiment) to demonstrate that a single spin was much more energy efficient than other information carriers due to its small size and weak coupling with the surroundings. We conclude that quantum spintronics, with single spins as qubits, is an energy-efficient computing paradigm that requires the smallest amount of energy, close to the theoretical Landauer bound to perform computations.

description: Recent attempts at topological materials have revealed a large class of materials that show gapless surface states protected by time-reversal symmetry and crystal symmetries. Among them, topological insulating states protected by crystal symmetries, rather than time-reversal symmetry are classified as topological crystalline insulators. We computationally predict the signature of new three-dimensional topological crystalline insulating compounds of space group 139(I/4mmm). After conducting a full volume optimization process by allowing to rearrange of atomic positions and lattice parameters, the first principles calculation with a generalized gradient approximation is utilized to identify multiple Dirac-type crossings around X and P symmetric points near Fermi energy. Importantly the band inversion at point P is recognized. Further, We investigate the compound for topological crystalline insulating behavior and identify metallic surface states on high-symmetry crystal surfaces with the projection to the plane (001). Additionally, we performed formation energy, elastic properties, and phonon modes calculations to verify the structural, mechanical, and dynamical stability of the compounds. Therefore, we suggest the compounds for further investigation and experimental realization.

description: Despite the great progress of current cosmological measurements, the nature of the dominant component of the universe, coined dark energy, is still an open question. Early Dark Energy is a possible candidate which may also alleviate some fine tuning issues of the standard paradigm. Using the latest available cosmological data, we find that the 95% CL upper bound on the early dark energy density parameter is $Ω_{\textrm{eDE}}$. On the other hand, the dark energy component may be a stressed and inhomogeneous fluid. If this is the case, the effective sound speed and the viscosity parameters are unconstrained by current data. Future omniscope-like $21$cm surveys, combined with present CMB data, could be able to distinguish between standard quintessence scenarios from other possible models with $2σ$ significance, assuming a non-negligible early dark energy contribution. The precision achieved on the $Ω_{\textrm{eDE}}$ parameter from these $21$ cm probes could be below $\mathcal{O} (10\%)$.

description: Natural products from Nigerian plants are significant in the search for drug compounds, as they contribute new compounds with biological properties to the fight against resistant pathogens, hence the study. Fresh leaves of M. indica were prepared for fungal isolation, identification, fermentation, and secondary metabolites extraction. The extract, subjected to HPLC analysis revealed the presence of two bioactive compounds: p-Hydroxylbenzoic acid, and Protocatechuic acid. The extract exhibited antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa and E. coli producing IZD of 4 mm respectively at 1 mg/ml. It produced an interesting antioxidant activity in the DPPH assay with 86.7% activity at 0.5 mg/ml. At 0.01 mg/ml, the extract showed 85.3% cytotoxic activity against L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells and showed 96.5% ± 0.173 HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibition activity at 0.25 mg/ml. This study confirms Aspergillus sp. from M. indica produces bioactive compounds that could serve as novel drug molecules in the fight against drug resistance.

description: One of the commonly used chemical-inspired approaches in variational quantum computing is the unitary coupled-cluster (UCC) ansatze. Despite being a systematic way of approaching the exact limit, the number of parameters in the standard UCC ansatze exhibits unfavorable scaling with respect to the system size, hindering its practical use on near-term quantum devices. Efforts have been taken to propose some variants of UCC ansatze with better scaling. In this paper we explore the parameter redundancy in the preparation of unitary coupled-cluster singles and doubles (UCCSD) ansatze employing spin-adapted formulation, small amplitude filtration, and entropy-based orbital selection approaches. Numerical results of using our approach on some small molecules have exhibited a significant cost reduction in the number of parameters to be optimized and in the time to convergence compared with conventional UCCSD-VQE simulations. We also discuss the potential application of some machine learning techniques in further exploring the parameter redundancy, providing a possible direction for future studies.
Gesund älter werden – Freiwilligenarbeit als Weg zur Förderung und Erhalt der Gesundheit von Menschen im dritten Lebensalter: Handlungsempfehlungen für Freiwilligenorganisationen

description: Die vorliegende Literaturarbeit mit dem Titel Gesund älter werden – Freiwilligenarbeit als Weg zur Förderung und Erhalt der Gesundheit von Menschen im dritten Lebensalter, Handlungsempfehlungen für Freiwilligenorganisationen verfasste Lea Häfliger.

Im Zuge des demografischen Wandels werden die Menschen immer älter. Gesund zu altern gewinnt an Bedeutung. Das Älterwerden gestaltet sich individuell sehr unterschiedlich und deshalb gilt es, vorherrschende Altersbilder zu reflektieren. Wesentlich ist ein Grundverständnis für die Lebensphase Alter, um ein Bewusstsein für die Vielfalt der älteren Bevölkerung zu generieren. Die Arbeit zeigt auf, dass sich viele Menschen bis ins hohe Alter einer guten Gesundheit erfreuen können, die soziale Ungleichheit jedoch zu gesundheitlicher Ungleichheit führt. Durch die Teilhabe an der Gesellschaft kann die Gesundheit gefördert werden. Eine mögliche Form von Teilhabe ist Freiwilligenarbeit. Studien weisen darauf hin, dass Freiwilligenarbeit die Gesundheit der älteren Menschen, die sich engagieren, positiv beeinflusst. Die individuellen Ressourcen einer Person beeinflussen stark, in welchem Masse und ob überhaupt jemand freiwillig tätig ist. Die Arbeit zeigt auf, dass gerade sozial benachteiligte Menschen von den gewinnbringenden Effekten der Freiwilligenarbeit profitieren können. Die Autorin kommt zum Schluss, dass die Soziale Arbeit auch für diese Personen die Möglichkeit für Freiwilligenarbeit schaffen soll und dabei eine unterstützende Rolle einzunehmen hat. Sie zeigt deshalb konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für Freiwilligenorganisationen auf, wie Menschen mit wenigen Ressourcen für Freiwilligenarbeit zu gewinnen sind.

description: Astrospheres and wind bubbles of massive stars are believed to be sources of cosmic rays with energies $E\lesssim 1\,$TeV. These particles are not directly detectable, but their impact on surrounding matter, in particular ionisation of atomic and molecular hydrogen, can lead to observable signatures. A correlation study of both gamma ray emission, induced by proton-proton interactions of cosmic ray protons with kinetic energies $E_\mathrm{p}\ge 280\,$MeV with ambient hydrogen, and ionisation induced by cosmic ray protons of kinetic energies $E_\mathrm{p}< 280\,$MeV can be performed in order to study potential sources of (sub)TeV cosmic rays.

description: Dwarf galaxies are characterised by a very low luminosity and low mass. Because of significant accretion and ejection activity of massive black holes, some dwarf galaxies also host low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In a few dwarf AGNs, very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations have found faint non-thermal radio emission. SDSS J090613.77+561015.2 is a dwarf AGN owning an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) with a mass of $M_{BH} = 3.6^{+5.9}_{-2.3} \times 10^5 M_{sun}$ and showing a rarely-seen two-component radio structure in its radio nucleus. To further probe their nature, i.e. the IMBH jet activity, we performed additional deep observations with the European VLBI Network (EVN) at 1.66 GHz and 4.99 GHz. We find the more diffuse emission regions and structure details. These new EVN imaging results allow us to reveal a two-sided jet morphology with a size up to about 150 mas (projected length $\sim$140 pc) and a radio luminosity of about $3\times10^{38}$ erg s$^{-1}$. The peak feature has an optically thin radio spectrum and thus more likely represents a relatively young ejecta instead of a jet base. The EVN study on SDSS J090613.77+561015.2 demonstrates the existence of episodic, relatively large-scale and powerful IMBH jet activity in dwarf AGNs. Moreover, we collected a small sample of VLBI-detected dwarf AGNs and investigated their connections with normal AGNs. We notice that these radio sources in the dwarf AGNs tend to have steep spectra and small linear sizes, and possibly represent ejecta from scaled-down episodic jet activity.

description: The engineering of solar power applications, such as photovoltaic energy (PV) or thermal solar energy requires the knowledge of the solar resource available for the solar energy system. This solar resource is generally obtained from datasets, and is either measured by ground-stations, through the use of pyranometers, or by satellites. The solar irradiation data are generally not free, and their cost can be high, in particular if high temporal resolution is required, such as hourly data. In this work, we present an alternative method to provide free hourly global solar tilted irradiation data for the whole European territory through a web platform. The method that we have developed generates solar irradiation data from a combination of clear-sky simulations and weather conditions data. The results are publicly available for free through Soweda, a Web interface. To our knowledge, this is the first time that hourly solar irradiance data are made available online, in real-time, and for free, to the public. The accuracy of these data is not suitable for applications that require high data accuracy, but can be very useful for other applications that only require a rough estimate of solar irradiation.

description: Flow fluctuations in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision can be probed by studying the momentum dependent correlations or the factorization-breaking coefficients between flow harmonics in separate kinematic bins (transverse momentum or pseudorapidity). We study such factorization-breaking coefficients for collisions of deformed U+U nuclei to see the effect of the nuclear deformation on momentum dependent coefficients. We also study momentum dependent mixed-flow correlations for the isobar collision system : Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr, which have the same mass number but different nuclear structure, thus providing the ideal scenario to study nuclear deformation effect on such observables. We use the TRENTO + MUSIC model for simulations and event-by-event analysis of those observables. We find that these momentum dependent correlation coefficients are not only excellent candidates to probe the fluctuation in heavy-ion collision, but also show significant sensitivity to the nuclear deformation.

description: In an effort to describe bioactive antifungal compounds from antagonistic bacteria with potential for biocontrol of plant pathogens, a strain of Arthrobacter psychrophenolicus was collected from plant disease suppressive compost prepared from composted material of marine origin. Few natural products have been characterized from the non-filamentous Actinobacteria genus Arthrobacter. A new cyclic tetrapeptide, cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Leu-L-γHyp-L-Tyr); arthropeptide A (1), was isolated from the EtOAc soluble culture filtrate extract of A. psychrophenolicus M9-17 grown in MOLP broth. Its structure was confirmed by HRMS, interpretation of NMR data, and a modified Marfey’s method. Arthropeptide A (1) displayed antifungal activity towards Alternaria alternata, the causal agent of disease in numerous host plant species, which had shown the previous susceptibility to A. psychrophenolicus. The newly identified compound may be responsible, in part, for the inhibitory activity of the bacterium against fungal plant pathogens.

description: $W^+ W^-$ production is one of the golden channels for testing the Standard Model as well for searches beyond the Standard Model. We discuss many new subleading processes for inclusive production of $W^+ W^-$ pairs generally not included in the litterature so far. We focus mainly on photon-photon induced processes. We include elastic-elastic, elastic-inelastic, inelastic-elastic and inelastic-inelastic contributions. We also calculate the contributions with resolved photons including the partonic substructure of the virtual photon. Predictions for the total cross section and differential distributions in $W$- boson rapidity and transverse momentum as well as $WW$ invariant mass are presented. The $γγ$ components only constitute about 1-2 \% of the inclusive $W^+ W^-$ cross section but increases up to about 10 \% at large $W^{\pm}$ transverse momenta, and are even comparable to the dominant $q \bar q$ component at large $M_{WW}$, i.e. are much larger than the $g g \to W^+ W^-$ one.

description: We consider the cross-market recommendation (CMR) task, which involves recommendation in a low-resource target market using data from a richer, auxiliary source market. Prior work in CMR utilised meta-learning to improve recommendation performance in target markets; meta-learning however can be complex and resource intensive. In this paper, we propose market-aware (MA) models, which directly model a market via market embeddings instead of meta-learning across markets. These embeddings transform item representations into market-specific representations. Our experiments highlight the effectiveness and efficiency of MA models both in a pairwise setting with a single target-source market, as well as a global model trained on all markets in unison. In the former pairwise setting, MA models on average outperform market-unaware models in 85% of cases on nDCG@10, while being time-efficient - compared to meta-learning models, MA models require only 15% of the training time. In the global setting, MA models outperform market-unaware models consistently for some markets, while outperforming meta-learning-based methods for all but one market. We conclude that MA models are an efficient and effective alternative to meta-learning, especially in the global setting.

description: Tropaeolum tuberosum, commonly known as Mashua, is an herbal remedy used on the skin in order to treat local pain and to heal wounds. This study aimed to evaluate the extracts and isolated compounds from T. tuberosum with anti-glycative and anti-inflammatory activities. Guided isolation by bioassay led to the isolation and characterisation by NMR and MS of (S)-(-)-N-(α-methylbenzyl)-oleamide (1) and (S)-(-)-N-(α-methylbenzyl)-linoleamide (2). Both compounds inhibited the production of TNF-α with IC50 values of 9.38 µM (NIH/3T3 cells) and 10.06 µM (PA317 cells) for compound 1, and 5.3 µM (NIH/3T3 cells) and 6.48 µM (PA317 cells) for compound 2. Compounds 1 and 2 showed the inhibitory effect on the BSA-MGO formation at concentrations of 9.38 µM (3.39%) and 5.30 µM (8.53%), respectively. Moreover, both compounds showed significant breaking properties on the MGO-AGE-protein crosslink with percent modification of 6.58% (9.38 µM) and 18.08% (5.30 µM), respectively.

description: We report trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of water masers for 12 massive star forming regions in the Perseus spiral arm of the Milky Way as part of the Bar and Spiral Structure Legacy (BeSSeL) Survey. Combining our results with 14 parallax measurements in the literature, we estimate a pitch angle of 9.9 +/- 1.5 degrees for a section of the Perseus arm. The three-dimensional Galactic peculiar motions of these sources indicate that on average they are moving toward the Galactic center and slower than the Galactic rotation.

description: α-zingiberene is a phytochemical of the sesquiterpenes class, the major constituent of the essential oil from the leaves of Casearia sylvestris, a plant widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, tumours, and bacterial infections. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of daily administration of α-zingiberene (0.01, 0.1 and 1 μg diluted in 10 μl of 0.5% DMSO) on the inflammatory, angiogenic, and fibrogenic components, induced by subcutaneous sponge implants in an animal model. Treatment with sesquiterpene resulted in a reduction in macrophage activation, as well as in mean blood vessels and in the activity of metalloproteinases 2 and 9. Furthermore, it resulted in an increase in collagen deposition near the implants. These results show the therapeutic potential of α-zingiberene in the treatment of pathologies, in which processes such as inflammation and angiogenesis are exacerbated, or even for the treatment of chronic wounds.
