description: Chemical analysis of the methanol extract of the root bark of Millettia aboensis led to the isolation of homopterocarpin (1), secundiflorol I (2), and maackain (3). The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on their MS and NMR spectra. The crude methanol root extract was screened for its cytotoxic activity on mouse lymphoma cell line (L5178Y), and the isolated compounds were tested for their antioxidant activity using a 2, 2-diphenylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging model. The crude methanol root extract gave a percentage growth inhibition of 87.5% on the mouse lymphoma cell line (L5178Y). Compound 3 gave the highest antioxidant activity with an IC50 of 83 µg/ml. These compounds can serve as leads for anticancer agents.

description: We study sequential collusion-resistant fingerprinting, where the fingerprinting code is generated in advance but accusations may be made between rounds, and show that in this setting both the dynamic Tardos scheme and schemes building upon Wald's sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) are asymptotically optimal. We further compare these two approaches to sequential fingerprinting, highlighting differences between the two schemes. Based on these differences, we argue that Wald's scheme should in general be preferred over the dynamic Tardos scheme, even though both schemes have their merits. As a side result, we derive an optimal sequential group testing method for the classical model, which can easily be generalized to different group testing models.

description: ‘Tucum-do-cerrado’ (Bactris setosa) is an edible fruit from the Brazilian ‘Cerrado’ biome marked by a high antioxidant potential and polyphenol content when compared to other fruits from the same biome. Its antioxidant activity is higher in the peel than in the pulp. Ethanolic and aqueous peel extracts were analyzed by the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. We also investigated the aqueous peel extract for its antioxidant mechanism and isolated some of its compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography. Among the extracts tested, the aqueous peel extract exhibited the highest FRAP values, with a predominant free radical scavenger activity. The isolated compounds were identified as two catechins, a cyanidin, a peonidin, and a quercetin. Testing the antioxidant potential of the isolated compounds using the 2-deoxyribose degradation assay revealed that catechin and quercetin showed the highest antioxidant activity. Thus, our results advance the identification of ‘tucum-do-cerrado’ compounds with antioxidant activity.

Macintyre's (2003) work on Mull, for example, documents how storytelling grew and developed more strongly as the traditional communities declined. A growing interest in storytelling as a possible technique to help children deal with many life situations has been emerging in Scotland, and indeed in other countries, over the past few years.
Global Simulations of the Interaction of Microquasar Jets with a Stellar Wind in High-Mass X-ray Binaries

description: Jets powered by high-mass X-ray binaries must traverse the powerful wind of the companion star. We present the first global 3D simulations of jet-wind interaction in high-mass X-ray binaries. We show that the wind momentum flux intercepted by the jet can lead to significant bending of the jet and that jets propagating through a spherical wind will be bent to an asymptotic angle $ψ_{\infty}$. We derive simple expressions for $ψ_{\infty}$ as a function of jet power and wind thrust. For known wind parameters, measurements of $ψ_{\infty}$ can be used to constrain the jet power. In the case of Cygnus X-1, the lack of jet precession as a function of orbital phase observed by the VLBA can be used to put a lower limit on the jet power of $L_{\rm jet} \gtrsim 10^{36}\,{\rm ergs\,s^{-1}}$. We further discuss the case where the initial jet is inclined relative to the binary orbital axis. We also analyze the case of Cygnus X-3 and show that jet bending is likely negligible unless the jet is significantly less powerful or much wider than currently thought. Our numerical investigation is limited to isotropic stellar winds. We discuss the possible effect of wind clumping on jet-wind interaction, which are likely significant, but argue that our limits on jet power for Cygnus X-1 are likely unaffected by clumping unless the global wind mass loss rate is orders of magnitude below the commonly assumed range for Cyg X-1.

description: India after independence planned its economy by way of mixed economic policy. Certain of the important business operations were placed under the monopoly of the Government through Public Sector Undertakings, while other businesses were allowed to be operated by the private players. The Monopolies Restrictive and Trade Practices Act, 1969 (MRTP Act) was used for combating monopolies. However, post-liberalisation era, a broader and progressive legislation that aimed at promoting market competition was felt necessary. After a decade of delay, Competition Act, 2002 passed and MRTP Act was repealed. However, the Competition Commission of India was established on 14th October, 2003 and it started functioning from the year 2009.1

description: Many real-world complex systems are best modeled by multiplex networks of interacting network layers. The multiplex network study is one of the newest and hottest themes in the statistical physics of complex networks. Pioneering studies have proven that the multiplexity has broad impact on the system's structure and function. In this Colloquium paper, we present an organized review of the growing body of current literature on multiplex networks by categorizing existing studies broadly according to the type of layer coupling in the problem. Major recent advances in the field are surveyed and some outstanding open challenges and future perspectives will be proposed.

description: Discriminative methods (e.g., kernel regression, SVM) have been extensively used to solve problems such as object recognition, image alignment and pose estimation from images. These methods typically map image features ( X) to continuous (e.g., pose) or discrete (e.g., object category) values. A major drawback of existing discriminative methods is that samples are directly projected onto a subspace and hence fail to account for outliers common in realistic training sets due to occlusion, specular reflections or noise. It is important to notice that existing discriminative approaches assume the input variables X to be noise free. Thus, discriminative methods experience significant performance degradation when gross outliers are present. Despite its obvious importance, the problem of robust discriminative learning has been relatively unexplored in computer vision. This paper develops the theory of robust regression (RR) and presents an effective convex approach that uses recent advances on rank minimization. The framework applies to a variety of problems in computer vision including robust linear discriminant analysis, regression with missing data, and multi-label classification. Several synthetic and real examples with applications to head pose estimation from images, image and video classification and facial attribute classification with missing data are used to illustrate the benefits of RR.

description: A fundamental question of current ecological research concerns the drives and limits of species responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC). Behavioural responses to HIREC are a key component because behaviour links individual responses to population and community changes. Ongoing fast urbanization provides an ideal setting to test the functional role of behaviour for responses to HIREC. Consistent behavioural differences between conspecifics (animal personality) may be important determinants or constraints of animals’ adaptation to urban habitats. We tested whether urban and rural populations of small mammals differ in mean trait expression, flexibility and repeatability of behaviours associated to risk-taking and exploratory tendencies. Using a standardized behavioural test in the field, we quantified spatial exploration and boldness of striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius, n = 96) from nine sub-populations, presenting different levels of urbanisation and anthropogenic disturbance. The level of urbanisation positively correlated with boldness, spatial exploration and behavioural flexibility, with urban dwellers being bolder, more explorative and more flexible in some traits than rural conspecifics. Thus, individuals seem to distribute in a non-random way in response to human disturbance based on their behavioural characteristics. Animal personality might therefore play a key role in successful coping with the challenges of HIREC.

description: This study aimed to assess the Withania coagulans fruit extract's effects on growth and haematological parameters of Labeo rohita. Healthy fish (n = 120) were divided in four groups. Experimental diet was prepared with different extraction of W. coagulans (0%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%). Diet was provided for eight weeks to all groups except the control group which fed on basal diet. The 1.5% and 2% W. coagulans extracts lead improvement in feed conversion ratio and specific fish growth rate; haematological parameters in fish group fed with 2% of W. coagulans showed increased in WBC, RBC, Hb, MCHC, PCV. The values of plasma proteins and lysozyme activity were higher in the experimental group compared control group. Fish fed with W. coagulans extracts showed increased of immunity and less mortality respect to others. It suggested that W. coagulans could be considered valuable support for the improve growth and immunity in Labeo rohita.

We prove that a holomorphic isometry of ${\rm H}_{\C}^n$ is a product of at most four involutions and a complex $k$-reflection, $k \leq 2$. Along the way, we prove that every element in ${\rm SU}(n)$ is a product of four or five involutions according as $n \neq 2 \mod 4$ or $n = 2 \mod 4$. We also give an easy proof of the result that every holomorphic isometry of ${\rm H}_{\C}^n$ is a product of two anti-holomorphic involutions.

description: ●Due to their sensitive nature, access to secure/controlled data is highly restricted, they are only accessible remotely via Trusted Research Environments (TREs) or on-site via dedicated Safe Rooms. ●Internationally, researchers often face significant hurdles in terms of time and financial burden having to travel to a Safe Room, a hurdle not many could overcome. In recent years, work has intensified to enable data access across international borders (IDAN, SSHOC) via Safe Room Remote Access. One of the achievements of SSHOC WP 5.4 was to set up a bilateral agreement between the UK Data Service and GESIS, Germany allowing a remote connection between the two services. ●Remote connections offer a safe environment to access confidential data. Datasets remain on the secure servers of the data provider (in location A) and are accessed via a secure encrypted internet connection (from location B) where all analysis is done. No physical transfer of the data ever occurs. The Safe Room at location B provides additional physical controls (e.g. Safe Room access and monitoring). This agreement allows researchers in Germany to access a range of secure datasets made available by the UKDS SecureLab from the GESIS Safe Rooms in Germany and vice versa. The agreement is available as a template to help facilitate the setting up of further remote connections. Once the legal agreements were in place, the technical set-up started. Thin Clients were configured, exchanged between partners and installed in the Safe Room of the other service. Technical tests were carried out, followed by researcher tests. ●Our talk will showcase the connection set up UK Data Service - GESIS and highlight some of the key challenges as well as solutions which we found along the way.

description: We investigate the effects of vortex interaction on the formation of interference patterns in a coherent pair of two-dimensional Bose condensed clouds of ultra-cold atoms traveling in opposite directions subject to a harmonic trapping potential. We identify linear and nonlinear regimes in the dipole oscillations of the condensates according to the balance of internal and centre-of-mass energies of the clouds. Simulations of the collision of two clouds each containing a vortex with different winding number (charge) were carried out in these regimes in order to investigate the creation of varying interference patterns. The interaction between different vortex type can be clearly distinguished by those patterns.

amount of low-level infrastructure is required. To facilitate
our on-going research into multi-robot systems, we
have developed RAVE, a software framework that provides
a Real And Virtual Environment for running and managing
multiple heterogeneous mobile-robot systems. This framework
simplifies the implementation and development of
collaborative robotic systems by providing the following
capabilities: the ability to run systems off-line in simulation,
user-interfaces for observing and commanding simulated
and real robots, transparent transference of simulated
robot programs to real robots, the ability to have simulated
robots interact with real robots, and the ability to place virtual
sensors on real robots to augment or experiment with
their performance.

Our question will refine previous questions on the complete faithfulness of dual Selmer groups. We also consider the question of the triviality of the central torsion submodules of these Iwasawa modules and we see that this latter question is intimately related to the former. We will also formulate and study analogous questions for the dual Selmer groups of Hida deformations. We then give positive answer to our questions, and establish "control theorem" results between the questions in certain cases.

description: Richardia brasiliensis is a species used in folk medicine and rich in active compounds. In this study, the extracts were submitted to UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis and total polyphenols, tannins, and flavonoids assays. Besides, it was determined its antioxidant capacity, oxidative stress markers and toxicological profile. Fourteen polyphenols were found and, in the dosages, a slight change in the concentrations in each extract was observed. Regarding the antioxidant capacity, the responses were different in the methods used. There was an increase in lipid peroxidation, and NO, however total ROS remained unchanged. The cells remained more than 90% viable and the extracts did not cause damage to single strands of DNA, with the exception of the crude autumn and spring extracts at 500 µg/mL. The results found in this study suggest that extracts are potentially toxic to human leukocyte cells in high concentrations; however, more studies should be performed in different cell lines.

description: Abstract: "The non-rigid motion of a driver's head (i.e. the motion of their mouth, eye-brows, cheeks, etc) can tell us a lot about their mental state; e.g. whether they are drowsy, alert, aggressive, comfortable, tense, distracted, etc. In this paper, we describe our recent research on non-rigid face tracking. In particular, we present both 2D and 3D algorithms for tracking the non-rigid motion of the driver's head using an Active Appearance Model. Both algorithms operate at over 200 frames per second. We also present algorithms for converting a 2D model into a 3D model and for fitting with occlusion and large pose variation."

description: As mobile robots venture into more difficult environments, more complex state-space paths are required to move safely and efficiently. The difference between mission success and failure can be determined by a mobile robot’s capacity to effectively navigate such paths in the presence of disturbances. This paper describes a technique for mobile robot model predictive control that utilizes the structure of a regional motion plan to effectively search the local continuum for an improved solution. The contribution, the receding horizon model-predictive control (RHMPC) technique, specifically addresses the problem of path following and obstacle avoidance through geometric singularities and discontinuities such as cusps, turn-in-place, and multi-point turn maneuvers in environments where terrain shape and vehicle mobility effects are non-negligible. The technique is formulated as an optimal controller that utilizes a model-predictive trajectory generator to relax parameterized control inputs initialized from a regional motion planner to navigate safely through the environment. Experimental results are presented for a six-wheeled skid-steered field robot in natural terrain.

description: Reinforcement learning offers to robotics a framework and set of tools for the design of sophisticated and hard-to-engineer behaviors. Conversely, the challenges of robotic problems provide both inspiration, impact, and validation for developments in reinforcement learning. The relationship between disciplines has sufficient promise to be likened to that between physics and mathematics. In this article, we attempt to strengthen the links between the two research communities by providing a survey of work in reinforcement learning for behavior generation in robots. We highlight both key challenges in robot reinforcement learning as well as notable successes. We discuss how contributions tamed the complexity of the domain and study the role of algorithms, representations, and prior knowledge in achieving these successes. As a result, a particular focus of our paper lies on the choice between model based and model-free as well as between value function-based and policy search methods. By analyzing a simple problem in some detail we demonstrate how reinforcement learning approaches may be profitably applied, and we note throughout open questions and the tremendous potential for future research.

description: We unearth the interconnection between various analytical methods which are widely used in the current literature to identify integrable nonlinear dynamical systems described by third-order nonlinear ordinary differentiable equations (ODEs). We establish an important interconnection between extended Prelle-Singer procedure and λ-symmetries approach applicable to third-order ODEs to bring out the various linkages associated with these different techniques. By establishing this interconnection we demonstrate that given any one of the quantities as a starting point in the family consisting of Jacobi last multipliers, Darboux polynomials, Lie point symmetries, adjoint-symmetries, λ-symmetries, integrating factors and null forms one can derive the rest of the quantities in this family in a straightforward and unambiguous manner. We also illustrate our findings with three specific examples.

description: A new sesquiterpene lactone, 3β,10α-dihydroxy-10β-(hydroxymethyl)-8α-(4-hydroxymethacrylate)-1αH,5αH,6βH,7αH-guai-4(15), 11(13)-dien-6,12-olide (1), along with twenty-one known compounds, were identified from the aerial parts of Centaurothamnus maximus. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidences and correlated with known compounds. Compounds (2, 3, 5‒13 and 15‒22) were identified from C. maximus for the first time. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of the isolated compounds were tested using the agar disc diffusion method. Compounds that demonstrated promising antimicrobial activity were evaluated for their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The results showed that compounds 3 and 7 were the most effective antibacterial compounds against B. subtilis ATCC 6633, S. aureus ATCC 25923 and S. pyogenes ATCC 27736, with MIC estimates between 8 and 32 mg/mL. In addition, compound 2 exhibited the strongest antifungal activity against C. albicans ATCC 14243 and C. krusei ATCC 14243 with MIC 8 mg/mL. Twenty-two compounds were first isolated from Centaurothamnus maximus The structure of the new sesquiterpene lactone, thamnolide (1), was established. Antibacterial and antifungal activities were tested for the isolated compounds. Compounds 3 and 7 were the strongest antibacterial compounds whilst 2 exhibited the strongest antifungal activity.

description: In this paper we present a combinatorial machinery, consisting of a graph tower $\overleftarrow Γ$ and vector towers $\overleftarrow v$ on $\overleftarrow Γ$, which allows us to efficiently describe all invariant measures $μ= μ^{\overleftarrow v}$ on any given shift space over a finite alphabet. The new technology admits a number of direct applications, in particular concerning invariant measures on non-primitive substitution subshifts, minimal subshifts with many ergodic measures, or an efficient calculation of the measure of a given cylinder. It also applies to currents on a free group $F_N$, and in particular the set of projectively fixed currents under the action of a (possibly reducible) endomorphism $φ: F_N \to F_N$ is determined, when $φ$ is represented by a train track map.

description: Recently, there have been numerous advances in the development of biologically inspired lightweight Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). While autonomous navigation is fairly straightforward for large UAVs as expensive sensors and monitoring devices can be employed, robust methods for obstacle avoidance remains a challenging task for MAVs which operate at low altitude in cluttered unstructured environments. Due to payload and power constraints, it is necessary for such systems to have autonomous navigation and flight capabilities using mostly passive sensors such as cameras. In this paper, we describe a robust system that enables autonomous navigation of small agile quad-rotors at low altitude through natural forest environments. We present a direct depth estimation approach that is capable of producing accurate, semi-dense depth-maps in real time. Furthermore, a novel wind-resistant control scheme is presented that enables stable way-point tracking even in the presence of strong winds. We demonstrate the performance of our system through extensive experiments on real images and field tests in a cluttered outdoor environment.

description: Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) is a popular generalization of linear
PCA that allows non-linear feature extraction. In KPCA, data in the input
space is mapped to higher (usually) dimensional feature space where the data can
be linearly modeled. The feature space is typically induced implicitly by a kernel
function, and linear PCA in the feature space is performed via the kernel trick.
However, due to the implicitness of the feature space, some extensions of PCA
such as robust PCA cannot be directly generalized to KPCA. This paper presents
a technique to overcome this problem, and extends it to a unified framework for
treating noise, missing data, and outliers in KPCA. Our method is based on a novel
cost function to perform inference in KPCA. Extensive experiments, in both synthetic
and real data, show that our algorithm outperforms existing methods.
title: Time Synchronization and Its Applications in Wireless Sensor Networks

description: Time synchronization is an essential component of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that play a key role in the thriving Internet of Things (IoT), supporting IoT applications from large-scale monitoring & event detection to collaborative interactions. The large-scale applications based on resource-constrained sensor nodes promote the development of WSN time synchronization towards the three major aspects of lower energy consumption, lower computational complexity, and higher multi-hop time synchronization accuracy. It is these three aspects that we focus on in our contributions to the development of WSN time synchronization, which are presented in this thesis together with their applications to optimal bundling and node identification.

description: Here we consider the problem of automatically segmenting images taken from a boat or low-flying aircraft. Such a capability is important for autonomous river following and mapping. The need for accurate segmentation in a wide variety of riverine environments challenges the state of the art vision-based methods that have been used in more structured environments such as roads and highways. Apart from the lack of structure, the principal difficulty is the large spatial and temporal variations in the appearance of water in the presence of nearby vegetation and with reflections from the sky. We propose a self-supervised method to segment images into `sky', `river' and `shore' (vegetation + structures) regions. Our approach uses assumptions about river scene structure to learn appearance models based on features like color, texture and image location which are used to segment the image. We validated our algorithm by testing on four datasets captured under varying conditions on different rivers. Our self-supervised algorithm had higher accuracy rates than a supervised alternative, often significantly more accurate, and does not need to be retrained to work under different conditions.

description: In this study, six vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) fractions (F1–F6) of the n-BuOH extract of L. numidicum Murb. (BELN) were examined for their anticancer capacity. The composition of secondary metabolites was analyzed by LC-HRMS/MS. The antiproliferative effect against PC3 and MDA-MB-231 lines was evaluated by MTT assay. Apoptosis of PC3 cells was detected by annexin V-FITC/PI staining using a flow cytometer. The results showed that only fractions 1 and 6 inhibited PC3 and MDA-MB 231 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner and induced dose-dependent apoptosis of PC3 cells, evidenced by the accumulation of early and late apoptotic cells, and by the decrease in viable cells. LC-HRMS/MS profiling of fractions 1 and 6 revealed the presence of known compounds that may be responsible for the observed anticancer activity. F1 and F6 may be an excellent source of active phytochemicals for cancer treatment.

description: We present a novel quantum clock synchronization(QCS) scheme of multiple parties which uses operation as the trigger to start the evolution of the initial state, where existing QCS protocols use measurement to start the evolution. Since the trigger is the unitary operation, we have protected entanglement of remote nodes, and after concentration of the qubits to the center node, general measurements of the total state is possible. We show that our protocol links the QCS problem to a multiple phase estimation problem. We use the Fisher information to give the precision of the synchronization, and explicitly show that the Heisenberg scale of synchronization is achieved in the two party case. We also show that our protocol is very efficient in synchronizing a clock to the average time of other clocks. The precision has an $O(\sqrt{d})$ advantage of the precision of the average time's estimation over the best possible strategy using measurement triggered QCS. The precision is also Heisenberg scale.

description: This paper presents an undelayed solution to the bearing-only simultaneous localization and mapping problem (SLAM). We employ a square-root iterated Kalman filter for nonlinear state estimation. The proposed technique incorporates a modified Kalman update that is equivalent to a variable-step iterative Gauss-Newton method, and is numerically stable because it maintains a square-root decomposition of the covariance matrix. Although many existing bearing only algorithms focus on proper initialization of landmark locations, our method allows for arbitrary initialization along the initial measurement ray without sacrificing map accuracy. This is desirable because we require only one filter and the state dimension of that filter need not include numerous temporary hypotheses. For this reason, the proposed algorithm is more computationally efficient than other methods. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach in simulation and with experiments on mobile robots.
