description: Thiophenol (PhSH) and its derivatives are useful chemicals for synthetic applications; however, they are highly toxic to humans and other organisms. In this work, we developed a novel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe for sensing and imaging PhSH. The probe system displays several advantageous features, including NIR emission (centered at approximately 730 nm), a large Stokes shift (150 nm), a turn-on responding mode, high selectivity toward thiophenol, and a low detection limit (0.23 μM). Furthermore, practical tests revealed that the probe can be applied to monitor PhSH in tap, lake, and river water samples and living cells.
Excited Q-Balls in the MSSM with gravity mediated supersymmetry breaking
Creators: name: Multamaki, Tuomas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Excited Q-balls are studied by numerical simulations in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with supersymmetry broken by a gravity mediated mechanism. It is found that there is a suppression factor of $\cO(10^{-2})$ in the rate at which a Q-ball can emit their excess energy compared to the rate set by the dynamical scale of the field, $m$. Furthermore, it is noted that a Q-ball can withstand a large amount of excess energy without losing a significant amount of its charge. The cosmological importance of these properties are considered for Q-balls in the thermal bath of the early universe.

description: The universal critical point ratio $Q$ is exploited to determine positions of the critical Ising transition lines on the phase diagram of the Ashkin-Teller (AT) model on the square lattice. A leading-order expansion of the ratio $Q$ in the presence of a non-vanishing thermal field is found from finite-size scaling and the corresponding expression is fitted to the accurate perturbative transfer-matrix data calculations for the $L\times L$ square clusters with $L\leq 9$.

description: We present and evaluate a method for predicting individual treatment benefits based on random effects logistic regression models of binary outcomes that change over time. The method uses empirical Bayes predictors based on patients’ characteristics and responses to treatment. It is applicable to both 1-dimentional and 2-dimentional personalized medicine models. Comparisons between predicted and true benefits for simulated new patients using correlations, relative biases and mean-squared errors were used to evaluate prediction performance. The predicted benefits had relatively small biases and relatively high correlations with the true benefits in the simulated new patients. The predictors also captured estimated overall population trends in the evolution of individual benefits. The proposed approach can be used to retrospectively evaluate patients’ responses in a clinical trial, or to retrospectively or prospectively predict individual benefits of different treatments for new patients using patients’ characteristics and previous responses. The method is used to examine changes in the disorganized dimension of antipsychotic-naïve patients from an antipsychotic randomized clinical trial. Retrospective prediction of individual benefits revealed that more cannabis users had slower and lower responses to antipsychotic treatment as compared to non-cannabis users, revealing cannabis use as a negative prognostic factor for psychotic disorders in the disorganized dimension.

Using GRASP Approach and Path Relinking to Minimize Total Number of Tardy Jobs on a Single Batch Processing Machine
Creators: name: Alipour, Panteha
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper considers the problem of scheduling a single batch processing machine such that the total number of tardy jobs is minimized. The machine can simultaneously process several jobs as a batch as long as the machine capacity is not violated. The batch processing time is equal to the largest processing time among those jobs in the batch. Two decisions are made to schedule jobs on the batch processing machine, namely grouping jobs to form batches and sequencing the batches on the machines. Both the decisions are interdependent as the composition of the batch affects the processing time of the batch. The problem under study is NP-hard. Consequently, solving a mathematical formulation to find an optimal solution is computationally intensive. A Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) is proposed to solve the problem under study with the assumption of arbitrary job sizes, arbitrary processing times and arbitrary due dates. A novel construction phase for the GRASP approach is proposed to improve the solution quality. In addition, a path relinking procedure is proposed for solving large-sized problems effectively. The performance of the proposed GRASP approach is evaluated by comparing its results to a commercial solver (which was used to solve the mathematical model) and a construction heuristic. Experimental studies suggest that the solution obtained from the GRASP approach is superior compared to the commercial solver and the construction heuristic.

description: An approximate solution to Einstein's equations representing two widely-separated non-rotating black holes in a circular orbit is constructed by matching a post-Newtonian metric to two perturbed Schwarzschild metrics. The spacetime metric is presented in a single coordinate system valid up to the apparent horizons of the black holes. This metric could be useful in numerical simulations of binary black holes. Initial data extracted from this metric have the advantages of being linked to the early inspiral phase of the binary system, and of not containing spurious gravitational waves.

description: : Starting with a succinct description of both countries, this piece aims to compare both similar and different aspects between Portugal and Poland: analyzing these countries’ economy, demography, and views on emigration. At first, there does not seem to be much in common, but such an observation is invalidated when comparing the countries’ cuisines, climate, and culture. The last matter seems to truly dissipate any divergence between countries: the cultural impact of football.

description: Chiral ionic liquids (CILs) are widely used solvents and materials with prominent properties. Carbohydrate-derived imidazolium-based CILs represent a distinctive type of CILs possessing multiple chiral centers from natural chiral pool. Herein, a series of glucopyranoside-substituted imidazolium-based CILs (Glu-imi-CILs) were synthesized and evaluated as ligands for Pd-catalyzed homo-coupling reactions of arylboronic acids in water. The glucopyranoside substituent was instrumental for improving the catalytic activity of the resulting catalysts. Moreover, a Glu-imi-CIL with a free hydroxyl group for additional coordination was found to be the most efficient ligand. A series of symmetric biaryl compounds (13 examples) were synthesized from arylboronic acids by this method in high isolated yields (85−99%).

description: This study aims to explore the diversity of land snails in a forested area of the second largest Brazilian city (Rio de Janeiro), through the study of basic morphology (ie shell, operculum, jaw and radula) and the barcode of COI sequences. The conservation unit ‘Parque Natural Municipal da Cidade’ (PNM da Cidade) is a fragment of the Atlantic Forest biome. During 12 fieldwork visits, 17 species of terrestrial gastropods were found in PNM da Cidade, of which six are synanthropic, exotic/cryptogenic, and occurred in single or few sampling stations, whereas the 11 native species varied in their range. PNM da Cidade houses a large population of the native species Thaumastus cf. taunaisii (Férussac, 1822), always found close to water sources, but it demands conservation concern. The sampling of live specimens allowed the study of operculum, jaw or radula from five selected species, and the generation of 20 COI sequences from 10 species, elucidating taxonomic aspects. The gastropod fauna at PNM da Cidade is indicative of moderately preserved habitats, despite some anthropic pressure. Future geography-based studies of land snails could add DNA sequences in order to enable the discovery or elucidation of cryptic complexes of species.

description: This thesis explores, via a business plan, the feasibility and financial viability of a proposal to establish a social cooperative corporation “ Women of Olympia – Ilia for Inclusive Sustainable Development and World Peace ”, to be incorporated in the town of Zacharo, Ilia. The thesis is based on market research of the preferances of cruise board tourists, other tourists, chambers of commerce associations and shop owners in the surrounding area of Ancient Olympia and Katakolon. The statistical analysis of the data determines the products along with the corresponding prices, as well as the associated demand for the products sold by the company under analysis. Furthermore, the analysis of the financial data determines the sales break-even point, as well as the pessimistic, most likely and optimistic scenarios regarding sales. The total investment is about €6.000, the sales break-even point is about €251.000 and the net profits for the first year under the most likely scenario are about €17.000, which are expected to increase significantly in each one of the next four years. Therefore, the establishment of the company under analysis is profitable.

description: We investigate the causal structure of the Harada-Iguchi-Nakao (HIN)'s exact solution in detail, which describes the dynamical formation of naked singularity in the collapse of a regular spherical cluster of counterrotating particles. There are three kinds of radial null geodesics in the HIN spacetime. One is the regular null geodesics and the other two are the null geodesics which terminate at the singularity. The central massless singularity is timelike naked singularity and satisfies the strong curvature condition along the null geodesics except for the instant of singularity formation. The cluster dynamically asymptotes to the singular static Einstein cluster in which centrifugal force is balanced with gravity. The HIN solution provides an interesting example which demonstrates that collisionless particles invoke timelike naked singularity.

The theory is valid for arbitrary miscroscopic structure of the superconducting electrodes of the constriction. As applications of the theory we study smearing of the subgap current singularities by pair-breaking effects and also the structure of these singularities in the constrictions between the composite S/N electrodes with the proximity-induced gap in the normal layer.

description: We present the complete sample of stripped-envelope supernova (SN) spectra observed by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) collaboration over the last three decades: 888 spectra of 302 SNe, 652 published here for the first time, with 384 spectra (of 92 SNe) having photometrically-determined phases. After correcting for redshift and Milky Way dust reddening and reevaluating the spectroscopic classifications for each SN, we construct mean spectra of the three major spectral subtypes (Types IIb, Ib, and Ic) binned by phase. We compare measures of line strengths and widths made from this sample to the results of previous efforts, confirming that O I λ7774 absorption is stronger and found at higher velocity in Type Ic SNe than in Types Ib or IIb SNe in the first 30 days after peak brightness, though the widths of nebular emission lines are consistent across subtypes. We also highlight newly available observations for a few rare subpopulations of interest.

description: An efficient and practical synthetic strategy, suitable for one-pot synthesis, for novel amide-linked oligosaccharide mimetics from sugar amino acid precursors is described. Twenty substrates, including twelve amide-linked disaccharide mimetics, four amide-linked trisaccharide mimetics and four amide-linked tetrasaccharide mimetics, were synthesized based on this strategy and its optimal conditions. This potentially general method is featured by high yields, gram-scale synthesis, wide substrate scope, and mild reaction conditions.

description: We report on a calculation of one-loop weak corrections to polarized quark-gluon scattering and the corresponding crossed channels. Such contributions are suppressed formally by one power of alpha_s relative to W- or Z-mediated quark-quark scattering, but would enable the spin asymmetry of the gluon distribution to contribute to parity-violating asymmetries that will soon be investigated in polarized proton-proton scattering experiments at RHIC. In certain kinematic regions, gluon contributions to parity-violating asymmetries can be as large as 10% of the tree-level W- and Z-exchanges in quark-quark scattering, but usually only where the parity-violating asymmetries are already small.

We performed first principles tight-binding LMTO band structure calculations of VO2 in both monoclinic and tetragonal rutile structures and compare the densities of states with the experimental data. From this we conclude that the electronic structure of VO2 is more bandlike than correlated.

description: A relação do poder com a convicção de superioridade de um grupo sobre outro sempre gerou conflitos, que muitas vezes tiveram consequências devastadoras para os grupos desfavorecidos. As recentes mudanças a nível das estruturas de pensamento trouxeram às gerações mais recentes de certos povos, sentimentos de culpa derivada das ações dos seus antepassados. Esta culpa traz uma sensação de obrigatoriedade de pedir desculpas aos povos que sofreram as consequências das ações dos seus antepassados. Em casos em que esta necessidade de pedir desculpa é sentida a nível nacional, líderes de um determinado país realizarão, por vezes, um pedido de desculpas oficial. Este trabalho analisa 2 casos muito recentes na memória coletiva. O primeiro caso a estudar é o Pedido de Desculpas do primeiro-ministro australiano, Kevin Rudd, às “Gerações Perdidas”. O segundo caso é o Pedido de Desculpas do Papa João Paulo II pelos pecados cometidos pela Igreja Católica.

description: The Ulu Temburong region in Bruneian Borneo is an exceptionally diverse, old-growth tropical rainforest that harbours unique species, including cryptic amphibians. In May 2017, we collected three caecilian specimens (Amphibia, Gymnophiona, Ichthyophis) from Ulu Temburong National Park, conducting morphological, molecular and cutaneous microbiome analyses. Comparisons of morphology, including CT scans, and mitochondrial DNA have determined the Temburong specimens to be Ichthyophis asplenius, previously not known from Brunei but documented elsewhere on Borneo. The Temburong specimens had continuous lateral body stripes, lacked splenial teeth and had body folds and grooves that did not cross the back on the anterior portion of the body. The mitochondrial DNA matched published sequences of I. asplenius from Sarawak, Malaysia. Our study pioneers the exploration of caecilian cutaneous microbiomes in the wild, marking the inaugural report from the Asian subcontinent. Microbial communities exhibited specimen-specific differences while maintaining uniformity across body locations. Proteobacteria dominated, aligning with previous studies, whereas Firmicutes and Acidobacteriota displayed intriguing variations between caecilian skin and the environment. This work constitutes the second caecilian species documented in Brunei and provides the initial wild caecilian microbiome description from Asia, contributing valuable insights into the biodiversity and microbial ecology of this important region.

description: We investigate the thermodynamic arrow of time in a time-symmetrically recollapsing universe by calculating quantum mechanically the entropy production of a massive scalar field. It is found that even though the Hamiltonian has a time-reversal symmetry with respect to the maximum expansion of the universe, the entropy production is generic and the total entropy of the scalar field increases monotonically. We conclude that the thermodynamic arrow of time is a universal phenomenon even in the expanding and subsequently recollapsing universe due to the parametric interaction of matter field with gravity.

description: The {\it exact} formulation for the effect of the Brans-Dicke scalar field on the gravitational corrections to the Sagnac delay in the Jordan and Einstein frames is presented for the first time. The results completely agree with the known PPN factors in the weak field region. The calculations also reveal how the Brans-Dicke coupling parameter (appears in various correction terms for different types of source/observer orbits. A first order correction of roughly 2.83 x 10^{-1} fringe shift for visible light is introduced by the gravity-scalar field combination for Earth bound equatorial orbits. It is also demonstrated that the final predictions in the two frames do not differ. The effect of the scalar field on the geodetic and Lense-Thirring precession of a spherical gyroscope in circular polar orbit around the Earth is also computed with an eye towards the Stanford Gravity Probe-B experiment currently in progress. The feasibility of optical and matter-wave interferometric measurements is discussed briefly.

description: Numerous studies have been carried out on antihypertensive peptides. However, the separation and purification were too costly, limiting their industrial application. The aim of this study was to produce antihypertensive yeast hydrolyzates (YH) with a simple and cost-saving procedure, coupling fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis. Crude enzyme, exhibiting protease and β-glucanase activities, was generated from Bacillus subtilis Hu 528 and subsequently used to release and hydrolyze the intracellular proteins from dry yeast. YH exhibited strong ACE inhibitory activity, with IC50 value of 26.13 μg/mL, while antihypertensive properties were found on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) in short- and long-term administrations. YH could increase blood nitric oxide (NO) of SHRs. Moreover, 778 peptides were identified from YH by Nano LC-MS/MS and most of these peptides had ACE inhibitory potentials based on database search and alignment. This study indicated promising potential of YH as a source of ACE inhibitory peptides and potentially could be used in functional foods.

description: We introduce a generalization of the O(N) field theory to N-colored membranes of arbitrary inner dimension D. The O(N) model is obtained for D->1, while N->0 leads to self-avoiding tethered membranes (as the O(N) model reduces to self-avoiding polymers). The model is studied perturbatively by a 1-loop renormalization group analysis, and exactly as N->infinity. Freedom to choose the expansion point D, leads to precise estimates of critical exponents of the O(N) model. Insights gained from this generalization include a conjecture on the nature of droplets dominating the 3d-Ising model at criticality; and the fixed point governing the random bond Ising model.

OBJECTIVE: To examine racial and ethnic differences in maternal social support in infancy and the relationship between social support and mother-infant health behaviors. METHODS: Secondary analysis of baseline data from a multisite obesity prevention trial that enrolled mothers and their 2-month-old infants. Behavioral and social support data were collected via questionnaire. We used modified Poisson regression to determine association between health behaviors and financial and emotional social support, adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics. RESULTS: Eight hundred and twenty-six mother-infant dyads (27.3% non-Hispanic Black, 18.0% Non-Hispanic White, 50.1% Hispanic and 4.6% Non-Hispanic Other). Half of mothers were born in the United States; 87% were Medicaid-insured. There were no racial/ethnic differences in social support controlling for maternal nativity. US-born mothers were more likely to have emotional and financial support (rate ratio [RR] 1.14 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07, 1.21 and RR 1.23 95% CI: 1.11, 1.37, respectively) versus mothers born outside the United States. Mothers with financial support were less likely to exclusively feed with breast milk (RR 0.62; 95% CI: 0.45, 0.87) yet more likely to have tummy time ≥12min (RR 1.28; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.59) versus mothers without financial support. Mothers with emotional support were less likely to report feeding with breast milk (RR 0.82; 95% CI: 0.69, 0.97) versus mothers without emotional support. CONCLUSIONS: Nativity, not race or ethnicity, is a significant determinant of maternal social support. Greater social support was not universally associated with healthy behaviors. Interventions may wish to consider the complex nature of social support and population-specific social support needs.

description: The scalar top discovery potential has been studied with a full-statistics background simulation at sqrt(s)=500 GeV and L = 500 fb-1 for the TESLA project. The beam polarization is very important to measure the scalar top mixing angle and to determine its mass. The latest estimation of the beam polarization parameters is applied. This study includes e+ polarization, which improves the sensitivity. For a 180 GeV scalar top at minimum production cross section, we obtain delta(m) = 0.8 GeV and delta(cosT) = 0.008 in the neutralino decay channel, and delta(m) = 0.5 GeV and delta(cosT) = 0.004 in the chargino decay channel.

description: We study the analytic structure of the S-matrix which is obtained from the reduced Wheeler-DeWitt wave function describing spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of massless scalar fields. The simple poles in the S-matrix occur in the Euclidean spacetime, and the Euclidean Wheeler-DeWitt equation is a variant of the Calogero models, which is discussed in connection with conformal mechanics and a quantum instanton.

Surface Melting and Breakup of Metal Nanowires: Theory and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

description: We consider the surface melting of metal nanowires by solving a phenomenological two-parabola Landau model and by conducting molecular dynamics simulations of nickel and aluminium nanowires. The model suggests that surface melting will precede bulk melting when the spreading parameter $Δγ$ for the melt in contact with the solid surface is positive (i.e. if the melt wets or partially wets the surface) and the wire is sufficiently thick, as is the case for planar surfaces and sufficiently large nanoparticles. Surface melting does not occur if $Δγ$ is negative. We test this model, which assumes the surface energies of the wire are isotropic, using molecular dynamics simulations. For nickel, we observe the onset of anisotropic surface melting associated with each of the two surface facets present, but this gives way to uniform surface melting and the solid melts radially until the solid core eventually breaks up. For aluminium, while we observe complete surface melting of one facet, the lowest energy surface remains partially dry even up to the point where the melt completely penetrates the solid core.

description: As transformações da identidade feminina muçulmana requerem que nos debrucemos cada vez mais sobre o caminho que estas estão a trilhar na cultura islâmica. Os movimentos migratórios para o ocidente têm redefinido a identidade cultural e a cidadania da muçulmana contemporânea. Perante tais factos, parece importante comparar a realidade das muçulmanas em Portugal com a realidade vigente nas sociedades islâmicas. O objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar que a ocidentalização das mulheres muçulmanas através de estratégias de reconstrução dos seus processos identitários (Abranches, 2004) tem originado o reencontro com a verdadeira identidade feminina estipulada pelo Alcorão.

description: The quantum Coulomb glass model describes disordered interacting electrons on the insulating side of a metal-insulator transition. By taking quantum fluctuations into account it can describe not only the localized limit but also the weakly localized regime. We discuss several possibilities to generalize the concept of Anderson localization to interacting electron systems such as the quantum Coulomb glass and define criteria for localization. The corresponding physical quantities are calculated by numerically exact diagonalization. The results indicate that single-particle excitations close to the Fermi energy become more strongly localized under the influence of interaction.

description: flavor liquor is one of the most popular distilled liquors in China that contains various flavor substances produced by a specialized brewing microbiome. Bacillus licheniformis is one of the major bacterial species in the Maotai-flavor liquor-brewing microbiome. However, the whole genome sequence of the B. licheniformis brewing strain has not been reported, which hampers further understanding of its effects on brewing. In this study, whole genome sequencing of B. licheniformis MT-B06 isolated from Maotai Daqu, a fermented wheat starter containing brewing microorganisms, was carried out using the Pacific Bioscience RS II platform. The sequence had a length of 4,440,765 bp with 45.7% GC content, encoding 5023 CDS sequences, 81 tRNAs, and 24 rRNAs. Next, genome annotation was performed based on four high-quality databases, including the COG, KEGG, GO/IPR, and Swiss-Prot databases. The genome sequence obtained was comparatively analyzed with that of B. licheniformis ATCC 14580, which is used for industrial enzyme production, which revealed that 69.95% of the differential genes are metabolically related, suggesting that these genes may be closely related to the flavor compounds biosynthesis. Therefore, the flavor compounds biosynthesis pathways and 26 relevant genes of B. licheniformis MT-B06 was analyzed, including alsS and alsD for 3-hydroxy-2-butanone synthesis, ispD, and ispE for terpenoids synthesis. This is the first report of high-quality whole genome sequencing of B. licheniformis MT-B06. Our results provide an important foundation for investigating metabolic pathways of desired compounds, such as C4 compounds and pyrazines, in Maotai-flavor liquor to improve its taste and quality.
