description: Confocal Raman microscopy has a number of advantages in investigating the human stratum corneum (SC) in vivo and ex vivo. The penetration profiles of xenobiotics in the SC, as well as depth profiles of the physiological parameters of the SC, such as the concentration of water depending on the strength of hydrogen bonds, total water concentration, the hydrogen bonding state of water molecules, concentration of intercellular lipids, the lamellar and lateral packing order of intercellular lipids, the concentration of natural moisturizing factor molecules, carotenoids, and the secondary and tertiary structure properties of keratin are well investigated. To consider the depth-dependent Raman signal attenuation, in most cases a normalization procedure is needed, which uses the main SC’s protein keratin-related Raman peaks, based on the assumption that keratin is homogeneously distributed in the SC. We found that this assumption is not accurate for the bottom part of the SC, where the water concentration is considerably increased, thus, reducing the presence of keratin. Our results demonstrate that the bottom part of the SC depth profile should be multiplied by 0.94 in average in order to match this non-homogeneity, which result in a decrease of the uncorrected values in these depths. The correctly normalized depth profiles of the concentration of lipids, water, natural moisturizing factor and carotenoids are presented in this work. The obtained results should be taken into consideration in future skin research using confocal Raman microscopy.

description: We report the measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry for the inelastic scattering of electrons from the proton, at $Q^2 = 0.082$ GeV$^2$ and $ W = 2.23$ GeV, above the resonance region. The result $A_{\rm Inel} = - 13.5 \pm 2.0 ({\rm stat}) \pm 3.9 ({\rm syst})$~ppm agrees with theoretical calculations, and helps to validate the modeling of the $γZ$ interference structure functions $F_1^{γZ}$ and $F_2^{γZ}$ used in those calculations, which are also used for determination of the two-boson exchange box diagram ($\Box_{γZ}$) contribution to parity-violating elastic scattering measurements. A positive parity-violating asymmetry for inclusive $π^-$ production was observed, as well as positive beam-normal single-spin asymmetry for scattered electrons and a negative beam-normal single-spin asymmetry for inclusive $π^-$ production.

description: The metallicity of star-forming gas in galaxies from the EAGLE simulations increases with stellar mass. Here we investigate whether the scatter around this relation correlates with morphology and/or stellar kinematics. At redshift $z=0$, galaxies with more rotational support have lower metallicities on average when the stellar mass is below $M_\star\approx 10^{10}~{\rm M}_\odot$. This trend inverts at higher values of $M_\star$, when prolate galaxies show typically lower metallicity. At increasing redshifts, the trend between rotational support and metallicity becomes weaker at low stellar mass but more pronounced at high stellar mass. We argue that the secondary dependence of metallicity on stellar kinematics is another manifestation of the observed anti-correlation between metallicity and star formation rate at a given stellar mass. At low masses, such trends seem to be driven by the different star-formation histories of galaxies and stellar feedback. At high masses, feedback from active galactic nuclei and galaxy mergers play a dominant role.

description: We consider SUSY SO(10) models in which SUSY breaking occurs via an F-term which does not transform as an SO(10) singlet. This results in non-universal GUT-scale gaugino masses leading to a different pattern of sparticle masses from what is expected in the minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA). We study three breaking chains of SO(10) down to the standard model through SU(4)$\timesSU(2)\times$SU(2), SU(2)$\times$SO(7) and `flipped' SU(5) achieved by the representations 54 and 210 which appear in the symmetric product of two SO(10) adjoints. We examine the phenomenological implications of the different boundary conditions corresponding to the different breaking chains and present the sparticle spectrum.

description: A precise, controllable, interpretable and easily trainable text removal approach is necessary for both user-specific and large-scale text removal applications. To achieve this, we propose a one-stage mask-based text inpainting network, MTRNet++. It has a novel architecture that includes mask-refine, coarse-inpainting and fine-inpainting branches, and attention blocks. With this architecture, MTRNet++ can remove text either with or without an external mask. It achieves state-of-the-art results on both the Oxford and SCUT datasets without using external ground-truth masks. The results of ablation studies demonstrate that the proposed multi-branch architecture with attention blocks is effective and essential. It also demonstrates controllability and interpretability.

description: This document describes how WLCG users may use the available geographically distributed resources without X.509 credentials. In this model, clients are issued with bearer tokens; these tokens are subsequently used to interact with resources. The tokens may contain authorization groups and/or capabilities, according to the preference of the Virtual Organisation (VO), applications and relying parties. Wherever possible, this document builds on existing standards when describing profiles to support current and anticipated WLCG usage. In particular, three major technologies are identified as providing the basis for this system: OAuth2 (RFC 6749 & RFC 6750), OpenID Connect and JSON Web Tokens (RFC 7519). Additionally, trust roots are established via OpenID Discovery or OAuth2 Authorization Server Metadata (RFC 8414). This document provides a profile for OAuth2 Access Tokens and OIDC ID Tokens.

description: Quantum Process Tomography (QPT) methods aim at identifying, i.e. estimating, a given quantum process. QPT is a major quantum information processing tool, since it especially allows one to characterize the actual behavior of quantum gates, which are the building blocks of quantum computers. However, usual QPT procedures are complicated, since they set several constraints on the quantum states used as inputs of the process to be characterized. In this paper, we extend QPT so as to avoid two such constraints. On the one hand, usual QPT methods requires one to know, hence to precisely control (i.e. prepare), the specific quantum states used as inputs of the considered quantum process, which is cumbersome. We therefore propose a Blind, or unsupervised, extension of QPT (i.e. BQPT), which means that this approach uses input quantum states whose values are unknown and arbitrary, except that they are requested to meet some general known properties (and this approach exploits the output states of the considered quantum process). On the other hand, usual QPT methods require one to be able to prepare many copies of the same (known) input state, which is constraining. On the contrary, we propose "single-preparation methods", i.e. methods which can operate with only one instance of each considered input state. These two new concepts are here illustrated with practical BQPT methods which are numerically validated, in the case when: i) random pure states are used as inputs and their required properties are especially related to the statistical independence of the random variables that define them, ii) the considered quantum process is based on cylindrical-symmetry Heisenberg spin coupling. These concepts may be extended to a much wider class of processes and to BQPT methods based on other input quantum state properties.

description: Biogenic synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles (gold – AuNp and selenium – SeNp) using inexpensive Tryptophan Enriched Banana Peel Media for the growth of marine isolate (Exiguobacterium aestuarii SBG4 MH185868). The response surface methodology is employed for optimizing production conditions. The surface plasmon resonance band showed λmax at 540 nm (AuNp) and 284 nm (SeNp). FTIR and zeta potential analysis confirmed the stability, whereas XRD spectra revealed the nature of nanoparticles obtained at optimum conditions. SEM micrographs showed nanospheres of the following size: AuN, 30 ± 5 nm and SeNp, 50 ± 5 nm. Biocompatibility of Np evaluated by the hemolytic activity showed <20% hemolysis even at highest concentrations (100 µg/ml). AuNp showed the least cytotoxicity, whereas SeNp showed considerable cytotoxicity against the breast cancer cell lines MCF – 7 and MDA-MB-231. Hence, we utilized the environment-friendly growth media for the controlled synthesis of dual Np using single bacterial strain involving feasible steps in downstream processing.

For $L = 1.0 μ$m measurements at six pressures $P$ are presented. At and above $T_λ$ the data are consistent with a universal scaling function $F=(L/ξ_0)^{x/ν}(R/R_0)$, $X= (L/ξ_0)^{1/ν}t$ valid for all $P$ ($R_0$ and $x$ are the pressure-dependent amplitude and effective exponent of the bulk resistivity $R$ and $ξ= ξ_0 t^{-ν}$ is the correlation length).

description: Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a potential inhibitor of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). ACE2 and its co-expressed proteins are SARS-CoV-2 receptors, which have been linked to SARS-CoV-2 infection and considered as the key target of SARS-CoV-2 in entering target cells. Here, network pharmacology was used to investigate the mechanism by which CGA affected COVID-19. A total of 70 potential targets related to the treatment of COVID-19 were obtained, among which NFE2L2, PPARG, ESR1, ACE, IL6, and HMOX1 might be the main potential targets. Finally, CGA and potential target proteins were scored by molecular docking, and the prediction results of network pharmacology were preliminarily verified. Moreover, CGA had potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity via integrating three common receptors in clinical practice compared with clinical trial drugs registered for the treatment of COVID-19, as shown by molecular docking. The mechanism of CGA against COVID-19 was initially investigated using network pharmacology, followed by molecular docking.

description: An explicit holographic correspondence between $AdS$ bulk and boundary quantum states is found in the form of a one to one mapping between scalar field creation/annihilation operators. The mapping requires the introduction of arbitrary energy scales and exhibits an ultraviolet-infrared duality: a small regulating mass in the boundary theory corresponds to a large momentum cutoff in the bulk. In the massless (conformal) limit of the boundary theory the mapping covers the whole field spectrum of both theories. The mapping strongly depends on the discretization of the field spectrum of compactified $AdS$ space in Poincare coordinates.

description: In this paper, we propose a Partial MLE (PMLE) for a general spatial nonlinear probit model, i.e., SARAR(1,1) probit, defined through a SARAR(1,1) latent linear model. This model encompasses both the SAE(1) probit and the more interesting SAR(1) probit models, already considered in the literature. We provide a complete asymptotic analysis of our PMLE as well as appropriate definitions of the marginal effects. Moreover, we address the issue of the choice of the groups (couples, in our case) by proposing an algorithm based on a minimum KL divergence problem. Finite sample properties of the PMLE are studied through extensive Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, we consider both sparse and dense matrices for the true spatial model specifications, and cases of model misspecification given wrong assumed weighting matrices. In a real data example, we finally also compare our estimator with different MLE–based estimators and with the Bayesian approach.

Aperture moderately wide, uniform in width, slightly flaring anteriorly; outer lip fairly thin.
Ground colour glossy white or cream with three irregular spiral bands of broad, reddish brown blotches widely inter-spaced below shoulder and on both sides of centre. Shoulder with alternating reddish-brown and white blotches, the same pattern continued on to spire, tip of spire white. Aperture deep yellow. Periostracum yellowish brown, thin, translucent. Siphon with black band on white or pale brown ground colour.
 Distribution. This species has been reported off the Andaman Islands as well as off the coast of Madras (Röckel et al. 1995).
The specimens described herein were collected from Pondicherry to Nagapattinam (Table 6) by trawling in 10–15 m.
 Remarks. Röckel et al. (1995) stated that C. caracteristicus inhabits sub-tidal to 30 m depths. Subsequently, Kohn (2001) reported this species inhabiting intertidal and shallow sub-tidal regions. We observed this species on sandy bottoms at depths of 10– 15 m. One specimen collected off Periyakuppam is the largest (66 mm) in shell length recorded from the Indian coast.

description: We derive quantum kinetic equations for fermion and boson production starting from a phi^4 Lagrangian with minimal coupling to fermions. Decomposing the scalar field into a mean-field part and fluctuations we obtain spontaneous pair creation driven by a self-interacting strong background field. The produced fermion and boson pairs are self-consistently coupled. Consequently back reactions arise from fermion and boson currents determining the time dependent self-interacting background mean-field. We explore the numerical solution in flux tube geometry for the time evolution of the mean-field as well as for the number- and energy densities for fermions and bosons. We find that after a characteristic time all energy is converted from the background mean-field to particle creation. Applying this general approach to the production of ``quarks'' and ``gluons'' a typical time scale for the collapse of the flux tube is 1.5 fm/c.

description: In the automotive sector, both radars and wireless communication are susceptible to interference. However, combining the radar and communication systems, i.e., radio frequency (RF) communications and sensing convergence, has the potential to mitigate interference in both systems. This article analyses the mutual interference of spectrally coexistent frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar and communication systems in terms of occurrence probability and impact, and introduces RadChat, a distributed networking protocol for mitigation of interference among FMCW based automotive radars, including self-interference, using radar communications. The results show that RadChat can significantly reduce radar mutual interference in single-hop vehicular networks in less than 80 ms.

description: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies represent still a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in different disciplines including neurology, rheumatology, and dermatology. In recent years, the spectrum of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies has been significantly extended and the different manifestations were described in more detail leading to new classification criteria. A major breakthrough has also occurred with respect to new biomarkers especially with the characterization of new autoantibody-antigen systems, which can be separated in myositis specific antibodies and myositis associated antibodies. These markers are detectable in approximately 80% of patients and facilitate not only the diagnostic procedures, but provide also important information on stratification of patients with respect to organ involvement, risk of cancer and overall prognosis of disease. Therefore, it is not only of importance to know the significance of these markers and to be familiar with the optimal diagnostic tests, but also with potential limitations in detection. This article focuses mainly on antibodies which are specific for myositis providing an overview on the targeted antigens, the available detection procedures and clinical association. As major tasks for the near future, the need of an international standardization is discussed for detection methods of autoantibodies in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Furthermore, additional investigations are required to improve stratification of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies according to their antibody profile with respect to response to different treatment options.

description: The non-linear and non-local effects in atomic Rydberg media under electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) make it a versatile platform for fundamental studies and applications in quantum information. In this paper, we study the dynamics of a Rydberg-EIT system in an ensemble that allows for more than one Rydberg excitation in the propagation direction. The density of two-level atoms is such that transient superradiant effects occur. We experimentally observe a cross-over between coherent collective emission (`flash') of two-level atoms to a Rydberg dressed regime ('dressed flash') under EIT condition. The complex dynamics are characterised using both intensity and time correlation measurements. We show that while steady-state EIT gives a second order correlation $g^{(2)}=0.79\pm 0.04$, the Rydberg-dressed flash exhibits anti-bunching down to $0.2\pm0.04$.

description: Sharing live telepresence experiences for teleconferencing or remote collaboration receives increasing interest with the recent progress in capturing and AR/VR technology. Whereas impressive telepresence systems have been proposed on top of on-the-fly scene capture, data transmission and visualization, these systems are restricted to the immersion of single or up to a low number of users into the respective scenarios. In this paper, we direct our attention on immersing significantly larger groups of people into live-captured scenes as required in education, entertainment or collaboration scenarios. For this purpose, rather than abandoning previous approaches, we present a range of optimizations of the involved reconstruction and streaming components that allow the immersion of a group of more than 24 users within the same scene - which is about a factor of 6 higher than in previous work - without introducing further latency or changing the involved consumer hardware setup. We demonstrate that our optimized system is capable of generating high-quality scene reconstructions as well as providing an immersive viewing experience to a large group of people within these live-captured scenes.

description: We study a $2d$ Hamiltonian fluid made of particles carrying spins coupled to their velocities. At low temperatures and intermediate densities, this conservative system exhibits phase coexistence between a collectively moving droplet and a still gas. The particle displacements within the droplet have remarkably similar correlations to those of birds flocks. The center of mass behaves as an effective self-propelled particle, driven by the droplet's total magnetization. The conservation of a generalized angular momentum leads to rigid rotations, opposite to the fluctuations of the magnetization orientation that, however small, are responsible for the shape and scaling of the correlations.

description: The intestine mediates a delicate balance between tolerogenic and inflammatory immune responses. The continuous pathogen encounter might also augment immune cell responses contributing to complications observed upon intestinal transplantation (ITx). We thus hypothesized that ITx patients show persistent signs of immune cell activation affecting both the adaptive and innate immune cell compartment. Information on the impact of intestinal grafts on immune cell composition, however, especially in the long-term is sparse. We here assessed activated and differentiated adaptive and innate immune subsets according to time, previous experience of cellular or antibody-mediated rejections or type of transplant after ITx applying multi-parametric flow cytometry, gene expression, serum cytokine and chemokine profiling. ITx patients showed an increase in CD16 expressing monocytes and myeloid dendritic cells (DCs) compared to healthy controls. This was even detectable in patients who were transplanted more than 10 years ago. Also, conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells showed persistent signs of activation counterbalanced by increased activated CCR4+ regulatory T cells. Patients with previous cellular rejections had even higher proportions of CD16+ monocytes and DCs, whereas transplanting higher donor mass with multi-visceral grafts was associated with increased T cell activation. The persistent inflammation and innate immune cell activation might contribute to unsatisfactory results after ITx.

description: Tribe Leptotyphlopini, New Tribe   Type genus. Leptotyphlops Fitzinger, 1843: 24.
 Diagnosis. Members of this tribe are distinguished from the other tribes of the Subfamily Leptotyphlopinae in having a brown or pale brown (rather than white) venter. Also they are distinguished from the Tribe Myriopholini by having few middorsal scales, on average (171–387 versus 165–558), and from the Tribe Epacrophini by having a small or absent (rather than moderate) first supralabial scale (Table 2). The support for this group was 100% BP and 100% PP for the four-gene tree (Fig. 3) and 100% BP and 100% PP for the nine-gene tree (Fig. 4).
 Content. Two genera and 27 species (Table 1).
 Distribution. The tribe is distributed throughout South Africa, extending as far north as the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the west and Somalia in the east; including Pemba Island (Tanzania) and the Bazaruto archipelago off of Mozambique.
 Remarks. This tribe comprises the former nigricans, rostratus, and scutifrons groups of " Leptotyphlops, " most recently defined (Broadley & Broadley 1999; Broadley & Wallach 2007) by the fusion of the rostral and frontal scales as found in the scutifrons and rostratus groups (unfused in the nigricans Group and in other leptotyphlopids). However, the molecular phylogeny (Fig. 3) shows that the nigricans Group (here represented by L. kafubi and L. nigricans) is polyphyletic or paraphyletic with respect to the scutifrons Group, thus indicating that the fused state evolved more than one time, or evolved once and reverted to the unfused state in some species. For this reason we do not recognize species groups but instead recognize one genus (Leptotyphlops) for the combined members of the former nigricans and scutifrons species Groups and a second genus (described below) for the former members of the rostratus Group.

description: The paper studies Bloch oscillations of cold neutral atoms in the optical lattice. The effect of spontaneous emission on the dynamics of the system is analyzed both analytically and numerically. The spontaneous emission is shown to cause (i) the decay of Bloch oscillations with the decrement given by the rate of spontaneous emission and (ii) the diffusive spreading of the atoms with a diffusion coefficient depending on {\em both} the rate of spontaneous emission and the Bloch frequency.

description: 18. Conus dictator Melvill, 1898 (Figure 19)
 Conus (Leptoconus) dictator Melvill, 1898: 9–10, pl. 1, fig. 10 (holotype, BMNH (46 x 19 mm) (Röckel et al. 1995); " Sheikh Shuaib Island, Persian Gulf ").
 Material examined: MBMCS 118, 38 specimens, SL 22–46 mm; SW 08– 28 mm.
 Description. Shell small to medium sized, moderately light. Body whorl narrowly to broadly conical. Shoulder angulate. Spire of moderate height, outline concave. Body whorl with spiral grooves separated by ribbons on basal third to two thirds, sometimes to shoulder.
Ground colour cream. Body whorl with orange to brown axial streaks or flammules, generally fusing in three spiral bands, within the basal third, near centre and below the shoulder. Aperture white marginally, violet within; basal portion often orange.
 Distribution. Röckel et al. (1995) reported C. dictator from Rameswaram, south India.
 The specimens described herein were collected from Keelakarai by trawling in 10–50 m and very few from Vembar by diving in 3–8 m (Table 6). This species was found to occur along with C. inscriptus on sand substrates.
  Remarks. Conus dictator  may be mistaken for C. lentiginosus; the latter species is more convex and has a broader body whorl, with weak tuberculation on the spire whorls. Previous records revealed that C. dictator occurs in 15– 100 m. We collected specimens within depths of 3– 8 m. A specimen collected from Keelakarai of 46 mm shell length is the largest reported from Indian waters.

description: Unbiased proteomic profiling was performed toward the identification of biological parameters relevant in sIBM, thus giving hints about the pathophysiological processes and the existence of new reliable markers. For that purpose, skeletal muscle biopsies from 13 sIBM and 7 non-diseased control patients were analyzed with various methods, including liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (four patients). Subsequent data analysis identified key molecules further studied in a larger cohort by qPCR, immunostaining, and immunofluorescence in situ. Proteomic signature of muscle biopsies derived from sIBM patients revealed the chaperone and cell surface marker CD74, the macrophage scavenger molecule CD163 and the transcription activator STAT1 to be among the highly and relevantly expressed proteins suggesting a significant contribution of immune cells among the myofibers expressing these markers. Moreover, in silico studies showed that 39% of upregulated proteins were involved in type I or mixed type I and type II interferon immunity. Indeed, further studies via immunohistochemistry clearly confirmed the prominent involvement of the key type I interferon signature-related molecules, ISG15 as well as IRF8 with MHC class II+ myofibers. Siglec1 colocalized with CD163+ macrophages and MHC class II molecules also co-localized with CD74 on macrophages. STAT1 co-localized with Siglec1+ macrophages in activemyofibremyophagocytosis while STAT6 colocalized with endomysial macrophages. These combined results show involvement of CD74, CD163, and STAT1 as key molecules of macrophage activation being crucially involved in mixed and specific type I interferon, and interferon gamma associated-pathways in sIBM. On a more general note, these results also highlight the type of immune-interaction between macrophages and myofibers in the etiopathology of sIBM.

description: In this article we show that the, mainly spacetime, w-modes may become unstable in a rotating ultracompact ($R<3M$) relativistic star. We provide results for the axial modes of a rotating star in the slow rotation approximation, and demonstrate that an instability may become active in stars with an ergosphere. These results suggest that the so-called ``ergoregion instability'' discussed by other authors is, in fact, associated with the w-modes of the star. The unstable modes are found to grow on a timescale of seconds to minutes. We discuss briefly whether the instability is likely to have any astrophysical relevance.
