description: Flood is a natural disaster with a very high frequency, that causes loss of life and
 property destruction. The objective of the study was to analyze flood hazard and
 model flood of Akaki River at Akaki Bridge.The basic assumptions in statistical flood
 frequency analysis, homogeneity and stationary, stationary and independence and
 outlier tests were made at different significance level by using Mann-Whitney tests,
 Wald-Wolfowitz and Grubbs and Beck respectively. The test reveals that the flow data
 that found at Akaki gauging station was independent, homogenous and stationary at 5%
 significance level. There was also no high and low outliers at 10% significance level.
 Using Goodness of Fit Test (GOF), the selected flood frequency distributions was
 conducted using Easy Fit professional version 5.6. The time series of the flow data
 was fitted to extreme value type one (EV I).A hydrological model, HEC-HMS was
 utilized to simulate runoff at Akaki bridge (980km2), Akaki catchment. The
 comparison of the observed and simulated hydrographs for the model performance
 (NSE = 0.75), their correlation (R2 = 0.86) for calibration and (NSE = 0.74), their
 correlation (R2= 0.89) for validation show that the model was appropriate for
 hydrological simulations in the study area.The flooded areas along Akaki River have
 been mapped based on highest flows for different return periods using the HEC-RAS
 model, GIS for spatial data processing and HEC-GeoRAS for interfacing between
 HEC-RAS and GIS. The flood inundated areas along Akaki River are 332, 322, 313,
 308, and 273 hectars for 200, 100, 50, 25, and 5 year return periods respectively. The
 large percentage (more than 56%) of extended flood inundated area lies on Bole
 woreda 09, followed by Akaki-Kersa and Akaki-Koye woredas, which was more than
 22 % and 12% % respectively.The flood inundated area that affect cropland with
 shrub and savanna land for 5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 years return period were 78.7,
 87.3, 89.3, 90.8 and 94.8 hectares respectively. The total quintals of 1962.8, 2177.3,
 2227.1, 2264.6, and 2364.3 crops would be lost due to 5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 years
 flooding return period. The estimated cost of 58,837,414birr, 59,355,793 birr,
 60,732,298 birr, 61719698birr and 64,472,709 birr were lost due to 5, 25, 50, 100
 and 200 years flooding return period. Masonary flood wall and Masonary dyke were
 the two recommended structural flood mitigation measures.

description: The properties of two inherently chiral cavitands in enantioselective recognition of N-methyl-leucine was studied in solution, through 1H and 31P NMR experiments, and in the solid state, through co-crystallisation experiments. The inherent chirality of the receptors was obtained through the desymmetrization of the rigid concave cavity by introducing three different bridging groups at the upper rim: two inward P=O groups, one inward P=S moiety and one methylene bridge in the AABC mode. For the solution studies, N-methyl-L-leucine was used as pure enantiomer and partial enantioselectivity was observed in the presence of an excess of a racemic mixture of cavitand receptor. Centrosymmetric crystals consisting of the complexes cR-cav1·N-methyl-D-leucine and cS-cav1·N-methyl-L-leucine were obtained from co-crystallisation of the racemic mixture of cR-cav/cS-cav 1 and N-methyl-D/L-leucine. Differently to the solution case, in the solid state the enantioselectivity of the chiral cavitand is complete and only the two enantiopure mirror complexes were obtained.

description: This study aims to investigate the stability and change of the perceptions of major life events (MLEs). We use data from the longitudinal study What’s NEXT? to reach this aim. In this panel study, subjects rated the same MLE (a self-selected event they had recently experienced before the start of the study) with the Event Characteristics Questionnaire (ECQ; Luhmann et al., 2020) at five measurement points within one year. These repeated ratings of an MLE allow us to examine the change of its perceptions over time. We will estimate rank-order and mean-level stabilities as well as intraclass correlations of the nine life event characteristics comprised in the ECQ by using continuous time models (Driver et al., 2017; Voelkle et al., 2012). Furthermore, we will also compute continuous time models for the stability of affective well-being and the Big Five personality traits to generate benchmarks for the interpretation of the stability coefficients of the life event characteristics.

description: The FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene is the essential integrator of flowering regulatory pathways in angiosperms. The paralogs of the FT gene may perform antagonistic functions, as exemplified by BvFT1, that suppresses flowering in Beta vulgaris, unlike the paralogous activator BvFT2. The roles of FT genes in other amaranths were less investigated. Here, we transformed Arabidopsis thaliana with the FLOWERING LOCUS T like (FTL) genes of Chenopodium ficifolium and found that both CfFTL1 and CfFTL2–1 accelerated flowering, despite having been the homologs of the Beta vulgaris floral promoter and suppressor, respectively. The floral promotive effect of CfFTL2–1 was so strong that it caused lethality when overexpressed under the 35S promoter. CfFTL2–1 placed in an inducible cassette accelerated flowering after induction with methoxyphenozide. The spontaneous induction of CfFTL2–1 led to precocious flowering in some primary transformants even without chemical induction. The CqFT2–1 homolog from Chenopodium quinoa had the same impact on viability and flowering as CfFTL2–1 when transferred to A. thaliana. After the FTL gene duplication in Amaranthaceae, the FTL1 copy maintained the role of floral activator. The second copy FTL2 underwent subsequent duplication and functional diversification, which enabled it to control the onset of flowering in amaranths to adapt to variable environments. The FLOWERINGLOCUS T like 2–1 gene of Chenopodium ficifolium andChenopodium quinoa acts as a strong activator of flowering in Arabidopsis, triggering flowering at cotyledon stage and causing lethality when overexpressed.

description: Projection mapping (PM) is a technique that enhances the appearance of real-world surfaces using projected images, enabling multiple people to view augmentations simultaneously, thereby facilitating communication and collaboration. However, PM typically requires a dark environment to achieve high-quality projections, limiting its practicality. In this paper, we overcome this limitation by replacing conventional room lighting with heterogeneous projectors. These projectors replicate environmental lighting by selectively illuminating the scene, excluding the projection target. Our contributions include a distributed projector optimization framework designed to effectively replicate environmental lighting and the incorporation of a large-aperture projector, in addition to standard projectors, to reduce high-luminance emitted rays and hard shadows -- undesirable factors for collaborative tasks in PM. We conducted a series of quantitative and qualitative experiments, including user studies, to validate our approach. Our findings demonstrate that our projector-based lighting system significantly enhances the contrast and realism of PM results even under environmental lighting compared to typical lights. Furthermore, our method facilitates a substantial shift in the perceived color mode from the undesirable aperture-color mode, where observers perceive the projected object as self-luminous, to the surface-color mode in PM.

We use this to study the locus of genus g curves with prescribed automorphism group G. We completely classify these loci for g=3 (including equations for the corresponding curves), and for $g \leq 10$ we classify those loci corresponding to "large" G.

description: We obtained new high-resolution spectra using the Lijiang 1.8-m and 2.4-m telescopes to investigate the chromospheric activities of V1355 Ori as indicated in the behaviors of Ca ii H&K, Hdelta, Hgamma, Hbeta, Na i D1, D2, Halpha and Ca ii infrared triplet (IRT) lines. The observed spectra show obvious emissions above the continuum in Ca ii H&K lines, absorptions in the Hdelta, Hgamma, Hbeta and Na i D1, D2 lines, variable behavior (filled-in absorption, partial emission with a core absorption component or emission above the continuum) in the Halpha line, and weak self-reversal emissions in the strong filled-in absorptions of the Ca ii IRT lines. We used a spectral subtraction technique to analyze our data. The results show no excess emission in the Hdelta and Hgamma lines, very weak excess emissions in the Na i D1, D2 lines, excess emission in the Hbeta line, clear excess emission in the Halpha line, and excess emissions in the Ca ii IRT lines. The value of the ratio of EW8542/EW8498 is in the range 0.9 to 1.7, which implies that chromospheric activity might have been caused by plage events. The value of the ratio E Halpha/E Hbeta is above 3, indicating that the Balmer lines would arise from prominence-like material. We also found time variations in light curves associated with equivalent widths of chromospheric activity lines in the Na i D1, D2, Ca ii IRT and Halpha lines in particular. These phenomena can be explained by plage events, which are consistent with the behavior of chromospheric activity indicators.

Subjects: Big Akaki River, HEC-RAS, TIN, Flood map, Flood inundation

description: Flood is the most critical among all the natural disasters. Flood water inundates the
 floodplain areas and cause vast damages to life and property. This research tries to
 consider more options and fills the gaps not covered by others, adopting more than five
 application software like Arc GIS, HEC-HMS, HEC-GeoHMS, HEC-RAS and HECGeoRAS. 12.5m by 12.5m resolution DEM for the catchment and 10m contour interval
 of Akaki flood plain is used to analyze terrain information.
 In this research, hydraulic modeling and floodplain mapping HEC-RAS, ArcGIS and
 its extension HEC-GeoRAS were used as tools. Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN)
 was prepared from the digital elevation model (DEM) of the study area using GIS.
 Required data sets as stream centerline, banks, flow paths and cross sections were
 prepared in HEC-GeoRAS (Geospatial River Analysis system) thus, creating import file
 and imported in HEC-RAS. In HEC-RAS, boundary condition for downstream were
 defined. Similarly, flood-discharges for different return periods were also input and
 steady flow analysis was done for the results. For modeling, a daily discharge and rainfall data were used for HEC-HMS Calibration and Validation both the results showed
 good match between measured and simulated precipitation data with accepTable
 range, coefficient of determination (R2) (0.686 for Calibration and 0.702 for
 Validation) and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (ENS) (0.766 for Calibration and 0.763 for
 Validation).Frequency analysis has been conducted by using Gumbel, Normal, LogNormal, and Log Pearson Type III distributions to determine the flood peaks for
 extreme events. For this paper the best fit is Log-Normal distribution. Results of HECRAS model were exported in ArcGIS to perform inundation mapping. Flood inundation
 maps of the whole study area were prepared for 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 year of return
 period flood. Floodplain maps show flooded depth from 5.717m , 5.8977m, 6.2034m,
 6.4397m, 6.6108m, 6.7813m for (2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100) year return period floods,
 respectively and Flooded area from 286.92ha to 418.08 ha for the 2-year to 100-year
 of return period, respectively and Flooded velocity from 4.795m/s to 6.959 m/s for the
 2- year to 100-year of return period, respectively Flood inundation maps will be an
 important tool for Engineers, Planners for emergency actions plans and for flood
 management.

description: Introduction: Healthcare professionals have an important role in advocating for the adoption of a brain-healthy lifestyle for optimal multiple sclerosis (MS) care. Nonetheless, studies to date have mainly focussed on the consumer perspective. Herein, we aimed to explore the current practices of how healthcare professionals support protective, lifestyle-related behaviour changes to optimise brain health among people living with MS (plwMS), and their perspectives of professional roles. Methods: Australian healthcare professionals were recruited via study advertisements, purposive and snowball sampling, to participate in an online, semi-structured and audio-recorded interview. Clinicians were eligible if they had a minimum of a tertiary Bachelor's degree and 12-months experience working with plwMS, access to the Internet and sufficient time to participant. An inductive, data-driven form of reflexive thematic analysis was undertaken before thematic categorisation of the quotes from transcripts. Data analysis was guided by the methods of Braun and Clark and the study's underpinnings drew on the constructs of the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). Results: Six physicians, 10 MS nurses, 18 allied health professionals, one exercise therapist and one alternative therapist were interviewed. Three primary themes encompassing the perceived role of healthcare professionals in supporting a brain-healthy lifestyle were identified: (1) the empowering role, (2) collaborative role and (3) communicative role. External factors/forces including time constraints, professional expertise, training and skill set, power dynamics, consumer readiness, health literacy, self-efficacy and motivation are at play, and affect how/when healthcare professionals may support behaviour change to optimise lifelong brain health for plwMS. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals recognise their critical role in encouraging and supporting the adoption of a brain-healthy lifestyle to optimise lifelong brain health for plwMS. However, discord is evident when they underestimate the complexity of translating knowledge of lifestyle-related behaviour change(s) into action. Greater awareness must be made in recognising and addressing the bidirectionality of external factors such as those in the SCT, that may influence how behaviour change occurs. Public Contribution: Healthcare professionals volunteered to be interviewed as part of the data collection phase of this study.

description: Soybean, a vital protein-rich crop, offers bioactivity that can mitigate various chronic human diseases. Nonetheless, soybean breeding poses a challenge due to the negative correlation between enhanced protein levels and overall productivity. Our previous studies demonstrated that applying gaseous phytohormone, ethylene, to soybean leaves significantly boosts the accumulation of free amino acids, particularly asparagine (Asn). Current studies also revealed that ethylene application to soybeans significantly enhanced both essential and non-essential amino acid contents in leaves and stems. Asn plays a crucial role in ammonia detoxification and reducing fatigue. However, the molecular evidence supporting this phenomenon remains elusive. This study explores the molecular mechanisms behind enhanced Asn accumulation in ethylene-treated soybean leaves. Transcriptional analysis revealed that ethylene treatments to soybean leaves enhance the transcriptional levels of key genes involved in Asn biosynthesis, such as aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT) and Asn synthetase (ASN), which aligns with our previous observations of elevated Asn levels. These findings shed light on the role of ethylene in upregulating Asn biosynthetic genes, subsequently enhancing Asn concentrations. This molecular insight into amino acid metabolism regulation provides valuable knowledge for the metabolic farming of crops, especially in elevating nutraceutical ingredients with non-genetic modification (GM) approach for improved protein content.

description: We present here broadband radio observations of the CSM interacting SN2019oys. SN2019oys was first detected in the optical and was classified as a Type Ib SN. Then, about $\sim 100$ days after discovery, it showed an optical rebrightening and a spectral transition to a spectrum dominated by strong narrow emission lines, which suggests strong interaction with a distant, dense, CSM shell. We modeled the broadband, multi-epoch, radio spectra, covering 2.2 to 36 GHz and spanning from 22 to 1425 days after optical discovery, as a synchrotron emitting source. Using this modeling we characterized the shockwave and the mass-loss rate of the progenitor. Our broadband radio observations show strong synchrotron emission. This emission, as observed 201 and 221 days after optical discovery, exhibits signs of free-free absorption from the material in front of the shock traveling in the CSM. In addition, the steep power law of the optically thin regime points towards synchrotron cooling of the radiating electrons. Analyzing these spectra in the context of the SN-CSM interaction model gives a shock velocity of 14,000 $\rm km \, s^{-1}$, and an electron number density of $2.6 \times 10^5 \, \rm cm^{-3}$ at a distance of $2.6 \times 10^{16}$ cm. This translates to a high mass-loss rate from the progenitor massive star of $6.7 \times 10^{-4} \, \rm M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$ for an assumed wind of 100 $\rm km s^{-1}$ (assuming constant mass-loss rate in steady winds). The late-time radio spectra, 392 and 557 days after optical discovery, are showing broad spectral peaks. We show that this can be explained by introducing a non-homogeneous CSM structure.

description: Recent Monte Carlo plasma simulations to study in crystallizing carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarfs (WDs) the phase separation of Ne22 (the most abundant metal after carbon and oxygen) have shown that, under the right conditions, a distillation process that transports Ne22 toward the WD centre is efficient and releases a considerable amount of gravitational energy that can lead to cooling delays of up to several Gyr. Here we present the first CO WD stellar evolution models that self-consistently include the effect of neon distillation, and cover the full range of CO WD masses, for a progenitor metallicity twice-solar appropriate for the old open cluster NGC 6791. The old age (about 8.5 Gyr) and high metallicity of this cluster -- hence the high neon content (about 3% by mass) in the cores of its WDs -- maximize the effect of neon distillation in the models to be compared with the observed cooling sequence. We discuss the effect of distillation on the internal chemical stratification and cooling time of the models, confirming that distillation causes cooling delays up to several Gyr, that depend in a non-monotonic way on the mass. We also show how our models produce luminosity functions (LFs) that can match the faint end of the observed WD LF in NGC 6791, for ages consistent with the range determined from a sample of cluster's eclipsing binary stars, and the main sequence turn-off. Without the inclusion of distillation the theoretical WD cooling sequences reach too faint magnitudes compared to the observations. We also propose James Webb Space Telescope observations that can independently demonstrate the efficiency of neon distillation in the interiors of NGC 6791 WDs, and help resolve the current uncertainty on the treatment of the electron conduction opacities for the hydrogen-helium envelope of the WD models.

description: Control of hazardous indoor particles using plants has attracted interest due to the increasing worldwide air pollution and spread of pandemic-causing viruses. However, the interaction between human pathogenic viruses (HPVs) and live plants has not been examined largely due to issues in detecting tiny amounts of infectious viruses in a carrier (such as an aerosol) and the lack of suitable examination methods. In this study, as a novel evaluation method, the effect of submerged leaves of live plants on HPVs in water was examined, using the H1N1 influenza virus as a model. Selected plant foliage of a live plant was immersed in a small bag containing HPV water suspension. In an initial screening test, the activities of 20 different plant species on the virus suspension were evaluated using a rapid virus detection kit. Ten plant species had the capability to decrease virus concentrations in the water suspension within 72 h. Among the experimental plant species, Epipremnum aureum showed the highest virus decreasing characteristics when examined using both the kit and quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction. The capacity of immersed leaf of live E. aureum to decrease viral content was enhanced when the plant-containing pot was electrically grounded to the earth (approximately 70% decrease in virus concentration). The foliage sample analysis showed that virus adsorption to the plant foliage surface could be the major reason for the decrease in the suspension. These results suggest that the proposed method can be applied to select plants to further investigate plant–HPV interactions.

description: Fourteen Staphylococcus aureus wild strains were stressed with sub-inhibitory concentration of five essential oils: Leptospermum scoparium (manuka), Origanum majorana (marjoram), Origanum vulgare (oregano), Satureja montana (winter savoury) and Thymus vulgaris (thyme). Antibiotics susceptibility profiles of the strains were determined by agar disk diffusion method before and after EOs treatment. The following antibiotics were employed: amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, amikacin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, aztreonam, ceftazidime, cephalothin, ciprofloxacin, colistin, cefotaxime, doxycycline, enrofloxacin, erythromycin, gentamicin, cephalexin, neomycin, piperacillin, rifampin, streptomycin, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole, tetracycline and tobramycin. Before EOs treatment, strains were susceptible to all antibiotics except for aztreonam and colistin. After exposure to sub-inhibitory EOs concentration of manuka, marjoram and oregano, several modifications in antibiotics susceptibility profiles were detected. Conversely, few modifications were induced by winter savoury and thyme EOs. Moreover, occurrence of resistances seems uncorrelated with drug classes as low concentration of EO could induce phenotypic changes in susceptible bacteria leading to antibiotic resistance phenomena.

description: Latent class analysis, a fundamental problem in categorical data analysis, often encounters overlapping latent classes that introduce further challenges. This paper presents a solution to this problem by focusing on finding latent mixed memberships of subjects in categorical data with polytomous responses. We employ the Grade of Membership (GoM) model, which assigns each subject a membership score in each latent class. To address this, we propose two efficient spectral algorithms for estimating these mixed memberships and other GoM parameters. Our algorithms are based on the singular value decomposition of a regularized Laplacian matrix. We establish their convergence rates under a mild condition on data sparsity. Additionally, we introduce a metric to evaluate the quality of estimated mixed memberships for real-world categorical data and determine the optimal number of latent classes based on this metric. Finally, we demonstrate the practicality of our methods through experiments on both computer-generated and real-world categorical datasets.

description: The high-dimensional feature space of the hyperspectral imagery poses major challenges to the processing and analysis of the hyperspectral data sets. In such a case, dimensionality reduction is necessary to decrease the computational complexity. The random projections open up new ways of dimensionality reduction, especially for large data sets. In this paper, the principal component analysis (PCA) and randomized principal component analysis (R-PCA) for the classification of hyperspectral images using support vector machines (SVM) and light gradient boosting machines (LightGBM) have been investigated. In this experimental research, the number of features was reduced to 20 and 30 for classification of two hyperspectral datasets (Indian Pines and Pavia University). The experimental results demonstrated that PCA outperformed R-PCA for SVM for both datasets, but received close accuracy values for LightGBM. The highest classification accuracies were obtained as 0.9925 and 0.9639 by LightGBM with original features for the Pavia University and Indian Pines, respectively.

Subjects: Postharvest Milk Quality, Price, Market Distance, Bulking Time, Logistic Facility and Sanitation Situation

description: This study was dealt with factor constraining postharvest cow milk quality in case of Oromia
 regional state. Using systematic random sampling technique, 373 smallholder milk suppliers’
 households were selected and 50 milk collectors were involved in the sample. The data
 analyzed using descriptive and explanatory research design method. The study results
 showed that milk price, market distance, bulking time, logistic facility, sanitation situation

Finite Element Modeling of Long Span Post- Tension two- way Concrete Slab under Flexural
Creators: name: Ermias Shimelis
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020

description: Nowadays, in our country design of modern architectural building structures requires the use of
 slender and free from numerous supports slabs. The most suitable solution for above requirements
 is the post-tensioned slabs with unbonded tendons. Slabs prestressed by unbonded tendons are
 successfully used worldwide for several decades. During that time many recommendations dealing
 with the forming of geometry and prestressing, dimensioning and erection technology were issued.
 During the recent years Post-Tensioned (PT) method is a widely used technique to prevent
 cracking and to minimize the deflection which is resulted by loads. In this method, stress is applied
 after concrete placing and reach adequate hardening and strength.
 In spite of designed the slabs significantly larger and slenderer than the recommended maximum
 value of span and span to depth ratio, the deflection of the slabs is definitely far from the limit
 value.
 This thesis investigates the detailed flexural behavior analytical investigation of various long span
 post tension two-way concrete slab under flexural loading. ANSYS non-linear finite element
 analysis software is used to develop full scale 3D two way post tensioned concrete slab model to
 investigate the flexural behavior of long span PT slab with specific number of tendons and the
 applied load on the concrete two-way slab. Further, a parametric study conducted to investigate
 the effect of tendons layout, concrete grade, tendons area ,tendons position and span length on the
 load displacement , stress intensity and plastic strain of post -tensioned two-way concrete slab.
 The analysis result obtained from finite element analysis showed that the failure load in PT in both
 directions increased about 89 % as compared with slab PT in one direction. FEA results also shows
 slabs with one-direction tendons layout with C40/50 concrete grade for span length 8m showed
 19.34% and 6.16% increase in the load caring capacity in comparison with the slabs with concrete
 grade of C30/37 and C35/45 respectively in one-direction tendons layouts. The study showed that
 the plastic strain of long span PT slab was highly affected by the concrete grade. For span length
 of 8m, 10m, 12m, and 15m a concrete grade C40/50 shows decrease in percentage plastic strain
 of 1.73%, 2.43%, 0.81% and 0.47% respectively as compared with concrete grade C30/37, as result
 the increase in concrete grade for long span PT slab has decreases the plastic strain of PT slab.

description: This work reports the results of the theoretical investigation of nonlinear dynamics and spiral wave breakup in a generalized two-variable model of cardiac action potential accounting for thermo-electric coupling and diffusion nonlinearities. As customary in excitable media, the common Q10 and Moore factors are used to describe thermo-electric feedback in a 10-degrees range. Motivated by the porous nature of the cardiac tissue, in this study we also propose a nonlinear Fickian flux formulated by Taylor expanding the voltage dependent diffusion coefficient up to quadratic terms. A fine tuning of the diffusive parameters is performed a priori to match the conduction velocity of the equivalent cable model. The resulting combined effects are then studied by numerically simulating different stimulation protocols on a one-dimensional cable. Model features are compared in terms of action potential morphology, restitution curves, frequency spectra and spatio-temporal phase differences. Two-dimensional long-run simulations are finally performed to characterize spiral breakup during sustained fibrillation at different thermal states. Temperature and nonlinear diffusion effects are found to impact the repolarization phase of the action potential wave with non-monotone patterns and to increase the propensity of arrhythmogenesis.

description: Small secreted proteins play an important role in plant development, as well as in reactions to changes in the environment. In Arabidopsis thaliana, they are predominantly members of highly expanded families, such as the pathogenesis-related (PR) 1-like protein family, whose most studied member PR1 is involved in plant defense responses by a so far unknown mechanism, or Clavata3/Endosperm Surrounding Region (CLE) protein family, whose members’ functions in the development are well described. Our survey of the existing literature for the two families showed a lack of details on their localization, trafficking, and exocytosis. Therefore, in order to uncover the modes of their secretion, we tested the hypothesis that a direct link between the secreted cargoes and the secretion regulators such as Rab GTPases, SNAREs, and exocyst subunits could be established using in silico co-expression and clustering approaches. We employed several independent techniques to uncover that only weak co-expression links could be found for limited numbers of secreted cargoes and regulators. We propose that there might be particular spatio-temporal requirements for PR1 and CLE proteins to be synthesized and secreted, and efforts to experimentally cover these discrepancies should be invested along with functional studies.

description: We have measured the K-shell and total internal conversion coefficients (ICCs), alpha_K and alpha_T, for the 109.3-keV M4 transition in 125Te to be 185.0(40) and 350.0(38), respectively. Previously this transition's ICCs were considered anomalous, with alpha values lying below calculated values. When compared with Dirac-Fock calculations, our new results show good agreement. The alpha_K result agrees well with the version of the theory that takes account of the K-shell atomic vacancy and disagrees with the one that does not. This is consistent with our conclusion drawn from a series of high multipolarity transitions.

description: This study investigates whether the messages sent by academic institutions of different status in their prospectuses about the idea of a degree have changed over the period of massification in the UK 1976-2013. The study concludes that there are differing identifiable discourse topics, and these have changed over the period, especially away from a traditional liberal higher education to a focus on graduate employment. The major change found over the period is an increase in the homogenisation of marketing materials, which enhanced the coding of institutional status, and as a result now requires increased support for prospective students.
In search of invariants for viscous liquids in the density scaling regime: Investigations of dynamic and thermodynamic moduli

description: In this paper, we report on nontrivial results of our investigations of dynamic and thermodynamic moduli in search of invariants for viscous liquids in the density scaling regime by using selected supercooled van der Waals liquids as representative materials. Previously, the dynamic modulus $M_{p-T}$ (defined in the pressure-temperature representation by the ratio of isobaric activation energy and activation volume) as well as the ratio $B_{T}/M_{p-T}$ (where $B_T$ is the thermodynamic modulus defined as the inverse isothermal compressibility) have been suggested as some kind of material constants. We have established that they are not valid in the explored wide range of temperatures $T$ over dozen decades of structural relaxation times $τ$. The temperature dependences of $M_{p-T}$ and $B_T/M_{p-T}$ have been elucidated by comparison with the well-known measure of the relative contribution of temperature and density fluctuations to molecular dynamics near the glass transition, i.e., the ratio of the isochoric and isobaric activation energies, $E^{act}_{V}/E^{act}_{p}$. Then, we have implemented an idea to transform the definition of the dynamic modulus $M_{p-T}$ from the p-T representation to the V-T one. This idea relied on the disentanglement of combined temperature and density fluctuations involved in isobaric parameters has resulted in finding an invariant for viscous liquids in the density scaling regime, which is the ratio of the thermodynamic and dynamic moduli, $B_{T}/M_{V-T}$. In this way, we have constituted a characteristic of thermodynamics and molecular dynamics, which remains unchanged in the supercooled liquid state for a given material, the molecular dynamics of which obeys the power density scaling law.
