title: The Use of Foliar Applied Zinc Compounds in Correcting Zinc Deficiency in Fruit Crops
Creators: name: Hall, Lynn F.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: The effectiveness of two chelated zinc compounds in correcting zinc deficiencies was studied. Soil and foliar treatments were made to study possible residual zinc carry-over from one season to the next. Foliar treatments at various rates were applied to raise plant tissue zinc levels above deficiency levels. It was found that none of the treatments studied resulted in any substantial carry-over of zinc to the following year. All of the foliar zinc treatments resulted in an increase in leaf zinc content in all of the varieties of fruit studied. The level of zinc in the treated trees increased in proportion to the amount of actual zinc applied. All zinc treated trees remained above critical zinc deficiency levels during the season treated as opposed to the untreated trees.

description: Ellagic acid and Gallic acid are polyphenols which have shown beneficial effects in animal models of colitis. In the present study Ellagic acid and Gallic acid were evaluated for antibacterial potential against clinical IBD isolates. (HM95, HM233, HM251, HM615). Cytotoxicity was determined against human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (Caco2, COLO.205, HT.29), whereas, cytocompatibility against normal rat intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) using MTT assay. Ellagic acid showed the lowest MIC and MBC value of 2.5 and 5 mg/mL respectively against HM251 and HM233. Gallic acid exhibited the lowest MIC and MBC value of 1.25 and 2.5 mg/mL respectively against HM251 and HM615. Cytotoxicity assay resulted in reduction of percent cell viability when tested at concentrations ranging from 400–12.5 µg/mL. The polyphenols presented a concentration-dependent deduction in percent cell viability after 48 h exposure It is likely that these polyphenols are good anti-colitic agents. However, further investigations are required.
title: Some Aspects of Geochemistry of the Water and Sediment of Bear Lake, Idaho-Utah
Creators: name: Fuller, Richard H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: Development by man through the last half century has caused a number of changes in Bear Lake. These changes include the diversion of Bear River water into Bear Lake, the pumping of lake water back into the river, and the building of breakwaters and other obstructions along the shore of Bear Lake.
The diversion of Bear River water into the lake has resulted in a yearly addition of an estimated 36,000 metric tons of calcium into the lake, which has caused the precipitation of an estimated minimum 90,000 metric tons of aragonite. The pumping of Bear Lake water back into the Bear River has resulted in an estimated yearly depletion of 10,900 metric tons of magnesium. This deficit may be compensated by the dissolution of detrital dolomite in the lake water.
Equilibrated samples of sediment and distilled water had little resemblance to the composition of lake water. There was also no correlation between the composition of the equilibrated water and the cation exchange capacity or mineral composition of the sediment.
A study of the dissolved oxygen content of littoral-zone waters indicated no development of vertical stratification of oxygen. There was also no statistically significant difference between the oxygen contents of waters on different sides of breakwaters.

Dissolution of ilemite in sulphuric acid under reducing conditions with controlled abrasion
Creators: name: Bhan, Autar Krishen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The kinetics of dissolution of ilmenite, containing haematite, in aqueous solutions of sulphuric acid have been studied. Iron was found to leach from the mineral complex at a faster rate than titanium. The rates of solution of both iron and titanium increased, up to certain limiting values, upon abrading the mineral during leaching and were found to be related to the hydrogen ion activity of the leaching solution by a first order dependency. The results have been interpreted in terms of preferential and possibly diffusion-controlled leaching of the haematite with ilmenite being removed both by slow leaching and tearing out from the specimen surface.

description: We report the detection, from observations using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, of CO J $=$ 3$\to$ 2 transition lines in six carbon stars, selected as members of the Galactic Halo and having similar infrared colors. Just one Halo star had been detected in CO before this work. Infrared observations show that these stars are red (J-K $>$3), due to the presence of large dusty circumstellar envelopes. Radiative transfer models indicates that these stars are losing mass with rather large dust mass-loss rates in the range 1--3.3 $\times$$10^{-8}$M$_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$, similar to what can be observed in the Galactic disc. We show that two of these stars are effectively in the Halo, one is likely linked to the stream of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph), and the other three stars certainly belong to the thick disc. The wind expansion velocities of the observed stars are low compared to carbon stars in the thin disc and are lower for the stars in the Halo and the Sgr dSph stream than in the thick disc. We discuss the possibility that the low expansion velocities result from the low metallicity of the Halo carbon stars. This implies that metal-poor carbon stars lose mass at a rate similar to metal-rich carbon stars, but with lower expansion velocities, as predicted by recent theoretical models. This result implies that the current estimates of mass-loss rates from carbon stars in Local Group galaxies will have to be reconsidered.

description: Purpose: The objective of this work is to analyze the impact of implementing work-family reconciliation measures on workers' perception and how this can influence their behavior, especially in their organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach: A literature review and the main research works related to the work-family conflict and reconciliation measures to overcome this conflict have been conducted to draw conclusions about their impact on worker performance. Contributions and results: This work proposes an integrative model that shows the existing relationships between work-family reconciliation and perceptual variables on one side, and those related to the worker's organizational behavior on the other. Perceptual variables such as stress, job satisfaction, and motivation are analyzed. Regarding variables related to the worker's organizational behavior, absenteeism, turnover, and performance are analyzed. The results of the analysis provide evidence that the existence of work-family reconciliation is perceived favorably by workers and improves their organizational behavior, especially their performance. Originality/Added value: This study integrates different perspectives related to the conflict and work-family reconciliation, from an eclectic vision. Thus, it contributes to existing literature with a more comprehensive approach to the investigated topic. Additionally, the proposed integrative model allows for useful conclusions for management from both a purely human resources management perspective and organizational productivity improvement. Keywords: Work-family conflict, work-family reconciliation, perceptual variables, organizational performance, human resources managements

title: A History of Mapleton, Utah to 1945
Creators: name: Harmer, Ralph K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: Mapleton, a small rural Utah community located on the benchlands between Hobble Creek Canyon and Spanish Fork Canyon fifty miles south of Salt Lake City, was settled in the late 1860s and early 1870s by Springvllle and Spanish Fork families who built their homes on their individual farms. These families did not follow traditional Mormon settlement patterns with a City of Zion plat as their guide; their community grew along quite different lines. Its inhabitants never heard a "call" nor did they have their land alloted to them by their church.
The Latter-day Saint Ward, established on the bench In 1888, became the nucleus for both civic and spiritual growth. Its leaders were central figures In the events leading to the political separation of Mapleton from its parent community of Springville in 1901. Two factors contributed to this political separation: a feeling by Maplefon residents that the Springville City Councll was not looking after their interests, and a serious irrigation controversy.
After the establishment of town government in 1901 Mapleton grew and developed in ways similar to much larger cities. It developed the same type of civic pride and worked to improve its educational, civic, and cultural programs. However, despite the many improvements in roads, and the amount of available irrigation water, by 1945 Mapleton was not a community of full time farmers. It was, and had been since its beginnings , a community of part-time farmers who worked at second jobs to help pay for farms and maintain a moderate standard of living.
The community has been affected by many outside events, but it developed in a manner similar to many other Mormon communities. Its residents enjoyed the inventions of a modern society. They were apprehensive and concerned about world wars and depressions that affected their lives. Still, the three most important influences on Mapleton people were the family, the church, and the job.

description: The infrared divergences of QCD scattering amplitudes can be derived from an anomalous dimension Γ, which is a matrix in color space and depends on the momenta and masses of the external partons. It has recently been shown that in cases where there are at least two massive partons involved in the scattering process, starting at two-loop order Γreceives contributions involving color and momentum correlations between three (and more) partons. The three-parton correlations can be described by two universal functions F_1 and f_2. In this paper these functions are calculated at two-loop order in closed analytic form and their properties are studied in detail. Both functions are found to be suppressed like O(m^4/s^2) in the limit of small parton masses, in accordance with mass factorization theorems proposed in the literature. On the other hand, both functions are O(1) and even diverge logarithmically near the threshold for pair production of two heavy particles. As an application, we calculate the infrared poles in the q qbar --> t tbar and g g --> t tbar scattering amplitudes at two-loop order.

Uuringu tulemused näitasid, et Eesti suitsidentide hulgas olid 59,8% alkoholisõltlased ja kuritarvitajad ning 5,3% narkootikumide kuritarvitajad. Suitsidentidel oli oluliselt suurem risk olla alko holisõltlane ja narkootikumide kuritarvitaja võrreldes kontrollrühmaga. Ainult kolmandik alkoholisõltlastest oli saanud diagnoosi enne uuringu diagnostilist protseduuri, see näitab, et alkoholism on tugevalt aladiag noositud. Kuigi meestel esines sagedamini alkoholi väärtarvitamist, näitas suitsidentide  ja kontrollisikute võrdlus, et nii nais- kui ka meessuitsidentidel oli kõikides earühmades suurem risk olla alkoholisõltlane, samut kehtis see eri rahvuste puhul. Uuring näitas, et joobnustavate ainete tarvitamisega seotud häired, eelkõige alkoholisõltuvus ja narkootikumide kuritarvitamine, on olulised suitsiidi riskitegurid.

Rotating nonaxisymmetric modes arising from a magnetized turbulent Taylor-Couette flow of liquid metal are identified as the fast and slow MC waves by the dependence of the rotation frequency on the applied field strength. The observed slow MC wave is damped but the observation provides a means for predicting the onset of the Magnetorotational Instability.

description: Phytochemical investigation of dried flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L.M.Perry. (clove) led to the isolation and identification of fourteen known compounds, oleanolic acid (1), betulinic acid (2), para methyl benzoic acid (3), sabrinic acid (4) eucalyptolic acid (5), nigricin (6), 3-O-trans-para-coumaroylmaslinic acid (7), methyl maslinate (8), maslinic acid (9), 3, 4, 5-trimethoxy-3′,4′-O,O-methylideneflavellagic acid (10), lantanone (11) 3,4,3′-trimethoxyellagic acid (12), 11-oxo-oleanolic acid (13), and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (14). Their structures were identified by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, Mass spectroscopic techniques, and comparison with the literature data. Compounds 3, and 7–9 showed a strong mortality against root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita at 0.125% concentration after 72 hours (88–92% inhibition). Compound 4 showed a good anti-glycation activity with IC50 = 142.0 ± 1.8 µM when compared with standard, i.e. rutin (IC50 = 54.59 ± 2.20 µM). Compound 10 showed a comparable urease inhibitory activity (IC50 = 26.1 ± 0.19 µM) with the positive control thiourea (IC50 = 24.5 ± 0.34 µM).

description: In this paper the Glauber-Gribov approach for deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) with nuclei is developed in N=4 SYM. It is shown that the amplitude displays the same general properties, such as geometrical scaling, as is the case in the high density QCD approach. We found that the quantum effects leading to the graviton reggeization, give rise to an imaginary part of the nucleon amplitude, which makes the DIS in N=4 SYM almost identical to the one expected in high density QCD. We concluded that the impact parameter dependence of the nucleon amplitude is very essential for N=4 SYM, and the entire kinematic region can be divided into three regions which are discussed in the paper. We revisited the dipole description for DIS and proposed a new renormalized Lagrangian for the shock wave formalism which reproduces the Glauber-Gribov approach in a certain kinematic region. However the saturation momentum turns out to be independent of energy, as it has been discussed by Albacete, Kovchegov and Taliotis. We discuss the physical meaning of such a saturation momentum $Q_s(A)$ and argue that one can consider only $Q>Q_s(A)$ within the shock wave approximation.

Hatchet man : an original novel
Creators: name: Courchesne, Peter D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The plot of The Hatchet Man is derived from The Canterbury Tales. Each sub-section of the novel is intended to parallel Chaucer's narrative in detail and in theme. It is intended that much of the effect of the novel be dependent on the comparison that is invited with the content of Chaucer's Tales. Chaucer's integrating framework, the journey of the pilgrims to the shrine of Saint Thomas in Canterbury, is the source of a further parallel. The characters in The Hatchet Man travel to the shrine of abstract truth, institutionalized as the university. But, as with Chaucer, the stories themselves are the theme, not the pilgrimage. The particular provides the meaning; the general, the rationale. The attempt has been not so much to fragment the continuity of plot and style, but to avoid conglomerating it. The abstract depends on the particular in a more significant way than it could for the Christian Chaucer. The novel can end in "affirmations" rather than "retractions." Hugh Simon and his friends, unlike Chaucer's figures, do arrive at the shrine and find that the meaning of the particular overwhelms the abstract, that their Saviour hatchets the generalized whole and imparts to it the virtue of independent existence, a meaning derived from its own entity, not its interpretive value.

description: Recent experiments have reported that ferroelectric nanoparticles have drastic effects on nematic liquid crystals--increasing the isotropic-nematic transition temperature by about 5 K, and greatly increasing the sensitivity to applied electric fields. To understand these effects, we develop a theory for the statistical mechanics of ferroelectric nanoparticles in liquid crystals. This theory predicts the enhancements of liquid-crystal properties, in good agreement with experiments. These predictions apply even when electrostatic interactions are partially screened by moderate concentrations of ions.

description: Coriolopsis rigida was isolated as an endophytic fungus from the medicinal plant Cochlospermum regium, and their production of secondary metabolites has not yet been investigated. Thus, the endophyte was cultivated on rice solid media to evaluate its ability to produce bioactive compounds and then the chloroform extract was obtained. Two phenolic compounds, tyrosol (1) and a new natural product p-hydroxyphenylacetamide (2), were isolated from the extract. The structures of the compounds were elucidated mainly by NMR. The extract showed potent antioxidant activity with an efficient concentration (EC50) value of 0.33 mg mL−1. Additionally, demonstrated allelopathic activity inhibited the seedling growth of Lactuca sativa L. and Raphanus sativus L. by 63% and 55%, respectively.
title: A Study of the New SODIA Program in Elementary Teacher Education at Utah State University
Creators: name: Klein, Larry D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: This study was designed to compare elementary teacher preparation programs at Utah State University as a basis for evaluation of the SODIA program. SODIA is the acronym for a new elementary teacher preparation program initiated in the Fall of 1972 which was designed to be field centered and competency based.
The population of the study consisted of 104 elementary student teachers enrolled in student teaching during Fall and Winter Quarters of the 1973-74 academic year. There were four groups identified by the type of preparation program they had experienced. The groups were SODIA (the new program for preparing elementary teachers), Former (the program for preparing elementary teachers prior to the inception of SODIA), Sophomore Bloc Only (the program that was the former program except that the student had Sophomore Bloc of the SODIA program), and Junior Bloc Only (the program that was the former program except that the student had Junior Bloc of the SODIA program).
There were five instruments used to collect data. They were the School Personnel Research and Evaluation Services tests (a form of the National Teacher Exam), Rokeach Dogmatism Scale, Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory, Purdue Student-Teacher Opinionnaire, and Teaching Skills Self Rating Scale.
A one-way analysis of variance was used to test for significant differences between groups. There were no significant differences found with the exception of the Sophomore Bloc Only group scoring significantly lower on the Science-Mathematics, Common Weighted Examination, and Education in the Elementary School sub-sections of the School Personnel Research and Evaluation Services test.
The recommendations of the study were:
1. It is suggested that further analysis of performance of student teachers be made to provide a basis for continuing evaluation of the SODIA elementary teacher preparation program.
2. It is suggested that an additional study be undertaken considering the limitations of the present study as described in the Discussion section (Chapter V).
3. It is suggested that an analysis of success of first year teachers, who were trained in the SODIA program, be made to provide a basis for continuing evaluation of the SODIA program.
4. It is suggested that a five year longitudinal study be made to assess long term effects of the SODIA program.

description: We consider holographic superconductors whose bulk description consists of gravity minimally coupled to a Maxwell field and charged scalar field with general potential. We give an analytic argument that there is no "hard gap": the real part of the conductivity at low frequency remains nonzero (although typically exponentially small) even at zero temperature. We also numerically construct the gravitational dual of the ground state of some holographic superconductors. Depending on the charge and dimension of the condensate, the infrared theory can have emergent conformal or just Poincare symmetry. In all cases studied, the area of the horizon of the dual black hole goes to zero in the extremal limit, consistent with a nondegenerate ground state.

description: Insulating-metallic transition mediated by substitutional atoms is predicted in a series of two-dimensional carbon-based structures. Introducing Si atoms in selected sites of tetrahexcarbon [Carbon 137 (2018) 266] according to rational chemical rules, metallicity by trivial band inversion without band gap opening is induced. Additional substitution of remaining C atoms by BN dimers introduces no changes in the metallic properties. A series of isomorphous two-dimensional materials with isoelectronic structures derived by exchanging group IV elements exhibiting various band gaps is obtained. Dynamical stability is verified with phonon analysis and beyond the harmonic approximation with molecular dynamics up to room temperature. The semi-metallic compounds have well-nested pockets of carriers and are good candidates for the formation of an excitonic insulator.

description: High cadence, multiwavelength, optical observations of a solar active region are presented, obtained with the Swedish Solar Telescope. Two magnetic bright points are seen to separate in opposite directions at a constant velocity of 2.8km/s. After a separation distance of approximately 4400km is reached, multiple Ellerman bombs are observed in both H-alpha and Ca-K images. As a result of the Ellerman bombs, periodic velocity perturbations in the vicinity of the magnetic neutral line, derived from simultaneous MDI data, are generated with amplitude +/- 6km/s and wavelength 1000km. The velocity oscillations are followed by an impulsive brightening visible in H-alpha and Ca-K, with a peak intensity enhancement of 63%. We interpret these velocity perturbations as the magnetic field deformation necessary to trigger forced reconnection. A time delay of approximately 3min between the H-alpha wing and Ca-K observations indicate that the observed magnetic reconnection occurs at a height of 200km above the solar surface. These observations are consistent with theoretical predictions and provide the first observational evidence of microflare activity driven by forced magnetic reconnection.

description: The purpose of the study was to determine if a relationship exists among opinions toward fluoridation of public water supplies, income, and level of education of the people of Salt Lake City, Utah. There were also two secondary concerns. One was to determine if a relationship exists between opinions toward fluoridation and other controversial social issues. The issues identified for investigations were: (1) the Supreme Court decision on abortion, (2) the Equal Rights Amendment, and (3) capital punishment. The second was to determine the factors on which opinions regarding fluoridation were based.
The results of the data that was collected indicated that the higher the education level of the population the higher the probability of a favorable opinion about fluoridation. The lower the education level of the population the higher the probability of an opinion of opposition to fluoridation. (2) If the subjects yearly income was $20,000 or more there was an increased likelihood of a favorable opinion of fluoridation. If the subjects yearly income was less than $20,000, there was a greater likelihood that the opinions would be in opposition to fluoridation. (3) A majority of the subjects opposed the Supreme Court ruling on abortion and the Equal Rights Amendment. A majority favored reinstatement of capital punishment.
Interpreted, this was felt to reveal a tendency of the subjects to adopt a conservative stand on controversial social issues.

description: Traditional robotic systems require complex implementations that are not always accessible or easy to use for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) application developers. With the aim of simplifying the implementation of HRI applications, this paper introduces a novel real-time operating system (RTOS) designed for customizable HRI - RoboSync. By creating multi-level abstraction layers, the system enables users to define complex emotional and behavioral models without needing deep technical expertise. The system's modular architecture comprises a behavior modeling layer, a machine learning plugin configuration layer, a sensor checks customization layer, a scheduler that fits the need of HRI, and a communication and synchronization layer. This approach not only promotes ease of use without highly specialized skills but also ensures real-time responsiveness and adaptability. The primary functionality of the RTOS has been implemented for proof of concept and was tested on a CortexM4 microcontroller, demonstrating its potential for a wide range of lightweight simple-to-implement social robotics applications.

description: Recently Arkani-Hamed, Finkbeiner, Slatyer and Weiner proposed a unified explanation to the set of experimental and observational anomalies with possible connections to Dark Matter (DM). A central role is played by GeV scale "dark" gauge bosons exchanged by the weak scale DM. Motivated by this proposal, we build an explicit model of DM in the context of Weak Scale Supersymmetry (SUSY). We employ high-scale SUSY-breaking and invoke the Giudice-Masiero mechanism to generate the weak scale DM masses. By sequestering the dark sector from the SUSY-breaking "hidden" sector, it naturally acquires GeV scale soft masses that help generate the dark gauge boson mass. The visible MSSM sector is not fully sequestered and acquires gaugino-mediated soft terms at the weak scale. This hierarchy of scales naturally leads to the Sommerfeld enhancement of DM annihilations needed to account for the electron/positron excesses in the PAMELA and ATIC experiments. The possibility of co-existing species of DM is used to show how the INTEGRAL and DAMA anomalies can both be explained. We study the cosmological constraints on the new stable or long-lived light particles that appear in our models. We discuss the lepton-jet collider signals suggested by Arkani-Hamed and Weiner, and find that they are not guaranteed in our construction.

description: Feokromotsütoom on harva esinev neerupealise katehhoolamiine produtseeriv kasvaja, mis võib esineda nii neerupealises kui sellest väljaspool. Kliiniliselt iseloomustab feokromotsütoomi hüpertoonia, peavalu, südamekloppimine ja higistamine. Tähtsamateks diagnostikameetoditeks on katehhoolamiinide või nende metaboliitide määramine 24 h uriinis, tuumori visualiseerimiseks on kasutusel UH, KT, MRI. Feokromotsütoomi ravi on eeskätt kirurgiline. Kirurgiline ravi (laparoskoopilise või avatud lõikusena) on efektiivne keskustes ning nõuab anestesioloogide ning kirurgide  tihedat koostööd nii operatsiooniks valmistumisel,  lõikuse käigus kui ka postoperatiivselt. Vaatamata patoloogia harvale esinemissagedusele opereeriti 2003. aasta I poolel TÜ Kliinikumi üld- ja plastilise kirurgia osakonnas kolme feokromotsütoomiga patsienti.

description: Principles of design to create dynamically stable transition metal, lanthanide, and actinide based low-dimensional borides are presented. A charge transfer analysis of donor metal atoms to electron deficient honeycombed B lattices allows to predict complex covalent heterostructures hosting Dirac states. The applicable guidelines are supported with the analysis of phonon spectra computed with first-principles calculations to demonstrate the physical stability of nanometer-thick heterostructures. Similar or dissimilar layered borides can be stacked on top of each other in a layer-by-layer fashion creating an interface that can be fundamentally different from the individual layers, opening a rich playground to explore novel physical properties and new materials. Functionalities such as multiple Dirac states, highly dispersive electronic bands, and decoupled acoustic-optical phonon are studied. The combination of appealing electronic properties and physical realization make of predicted layered borides promising materials to integrate a new generation of two-dimensional materials.

description: Kiirabikulutused suurenevad üha enam, sest uusi arstide ja õdede palgakokkuleppeid peavad järgima ka brigaadipidajad. Hoolimata survest kiirabi eelarvele ning kiirabitöötajate puudusest ei ole sisulisi analüüse ressursside kokkuhoidmiseks seni tehtud ning ainsa lahendusena on nähtud eelarve suurendamist. Riigikontrolli audiitorid analüüsisid kiirabiteenuse korraldust ning pakkusid võimalikke lahendusi kiirabiteenuse säästlikumaks korraldamiseks: brigaadide arvu vähendamine öösiti, õebrigaadide osakaalu suurendamine ning osa brigaadide kaheliikmeliseks muutmine. Nende lahendustega koos peab aga muutuma ka keskkond, milles kiirabiteenust osutatakse (1).

description: This study aimed to develop a local 3 D-printed bioactive graft using poly-caprolacton (PCL) as a drug carrier and 3-O-acetyl-β-boswellic acid (β-ABA) as an anticancer compound. β-ABA-loaded 3 D-printed scaffold was fabricated and physically characterized. The results indicated more desirable mechanical and physical properties of the β-ABA-loaded PCL mat in comparison with the PCL scaffold. Following sustained release of β-ABA, the β-ABA-loaded PCL scaffold revealed selective cytotoxic activity against melanoma cells, while the PCL + ABA with the bolus delivery of β-ABA was toxic against fibroblast cells. Followed by the induction of apoptosis in melanoma cells at the gene level, the result of the western blot showed that the β-ABA-loaded scaffold significantly up-regulated P53 and down-regulated BCL2, with an increment in the ratio of Bax/BCL2. The selective anti-cancer properties of β-ABA-loaded 3 D printed scaffold against melanoma cells indicated that this scaffold could be potentially used as a bioactive graft to improve the melanoma treatment.

description: Perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD) corrections and color superconductivity predict that strongly interacting matter can reveal new physical phenomena under extreme conditions. Taking into account these interaction effects, we investigate the role of anisotropic pressure in quark stars composed of interacting quark matter. Adopting two physically well-motivated anisotropy profiles, we numerically solve the stellar structure equations in order to explore the consequences of anisotropic pressure on various macroscopic properties such as radius, gravitational mass, surface redshift, moment of inertia, tidal Love number and oscillation spectrum. Remarkably, for both anisotropy models, negative anisotropies increase the radial stability of interacting quark stars, while the opposite occurs for positive anisotropies. However, for the Bowers-Liang profile, the central density corresponding to the maximum-mass point does not coincide with the central density where the squared oscillation frequency vanishes, indicating that the existence of stable anisotropic interacting quark stars is possible beyond the maximum mass for negative anisotropies. Additionally, we compare our theoretical predictions with several observational mass-radius measurements and tidal deformability constraints, which suggest that both strong interaction effects and anisotropy effects play a crucial role in describing compact stars observed in the Universe.

description: It has long been assumed that the planet Jupiter acts as a giant shield, significantly lowering the impact rate of small bodies on the Earth. However, until recently, very little work had been carried out examining the role played by Jupiter in determining the frequency of such collisions. In this work, the third of a series of papers, we examine the degree to which the impact rate on Earth resulting from the Oort cloud comets is enhanced or lessened by the presence of a giant planet in a Jupiter-like orbit, in an attempt to more fully understand the impact regime under which life on Earth has developed. Our results show that the presence of a giant planet in a Jupiter-like orbit significantly alters the impact rate of Oort cloud comets on the Earth, decreasing the rate as the mass of the giant increases. The greatest bombardment flus is observed when no giant planet is present.
