description: In this catalog, we present the results of a systematic study of 295 short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by Konus-Wind (KW) from 1994 to 2010. From the temporal and spectral analyses of the sample, we provide the burst durations, the spectral lags, the results of spectral fits with three model functions, the total energy fluences and the peak energy fluxes of the bursts. We discuss evidence found for an additional power-law spectral component and the presence of extended emission in a fraction of the KW short GRBs. Finally, we consider the results obtained in the context of the Type I (merger-origin) / Type II (collapsar-origin) classifications.

Hemipiperazines - Novel Photochromic Cyclic Dipeptides for Bioactivity Photomodulation

Year: 2023

description: Nach Angaben der Internationalen Agentur für Krebsforschung, einer Einrichtung der Weltgesundheitsorganisation, wurden im Jahr 2020 schätzungsweise 19,3 Millionen Menschen Krebs diagnostiziert, von denen 9,96 Millionen den Kampf gegen diese Krankheit verlieren werden. Krebstherapien werden häufig durch schwere Nebenwirkungen beeinträchtigt, die die anwendbare Dosis einschränken und die Lebensqualität der Patienten stark einschränken können. Die Entwicklung neuer, effizienter Therapeutika, die selektiv wirken und weniger Nebenwirkungen haben, ist daher von großer Bedeutung. Die Photopharmakologie stellt ein vielversprechendes Forschungsgebiet dar, um diesen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden, indem neue Medikamente entwickelt werden, die lokal und bioorthogonal mit Licht aktiviert werden können. In dieser Arbeit stelle ich die Identifizierung und Charakterisierung von 3-Aryliden-2,5-diketopiperazinen (Hemipiperazine, HPIs) als eine neue Klasse von molekularen Photoschaltern vor. Ein HPI ist in Plinabulin enthalten, einem zytotoxischen Wirkstoff, der auf Mikrotubuli abzielt und sich derzeit in einer Phase-III-Studie zur Krebsbehandlung befindet. Es wurde entdeckt, dass die Bioaktivität von Plinabulin mit sichtbarem Licht moduliert werden kann, was eine biorthogonale Aktivierung dieses Medikaments mit räumlicher und zeitlicher Präzision ermöglichen kann. Außerdem wurden Derivate mit verbesserten photophysikalischen und pharmakologischen Eigenschaften identifiziert. Das photochrome Kernfragment von Plinabulin enthält ein zyklisches Dipeptid (2,5-Diketopiperazin, DKP), welches selbst ein wichtiges Pharmakophor darstellt und auch in zahlreichen biokompatiblen intelligenten Materialien zu finden ist. Der Photochromismus von HPIs und der Einfluss von elektronenziehenden und -schiebenden Gruppen auf die photophysikalischen Eigenschaften wurde systematisch untersucht. Darüber hinaus wurde gezeigt, dass HPI-Photoschalter in andere molekulare Gerüste eingebaut werden können und eine reversible Photomodulation der Fluoreszenzintensität ermöglichen. Es wurde festgestellt, dass fluoreszierende Derivate von Zellen aufgenommen und mittels konfokaler Mikroskopie innerhalb dieser Zellen sichtbar gemacht werden können. Diese Ergebnisse könnten die Grundlage für die Entwicklung neuartiger photoschaltbarer Fluoreszenzmarker bilden.

description: We report the results of James Webb Space Telescope/NIRCam observations of 19 (sub)millimeter (submm/mm) sources detected by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). The accurate ALMA positions allowed unambiguous identifications of their NIRCam counterparts. Taking gravitational lensing into account, these represent 16 distinct galaxies in three fields and constitute the largest sample of its kind to date. The counterparts' spectral energy distributions from rest-frame ultraviolet to near infrared provide photometric redshifts ($110^{10.5}$ Msol), which are similar to sub-millimeter galaxy (SMG) hosts studied previously. However, our sample is fainter in submm/mm than the classic SMG samples are, and our sources exhibit a wider range of properties. They have dust-embedded star-formation rates as low as 10 Msol yr$^{-1}$, and the sources populate both the star-forming main sequence and the quiescent categories. The deep NIRCam data allow us to study the rest-frame near-IR morphologies. Excluding two multiply imaged systems and one quasar, the majority of the remaining sources are disk-like and show either little or no disturbance. This suggests that secular growth is a potential route for the assembly of high-mass disk galaxies. While a few hosts have large disks, the majority have small disks (median half-mass radius of 1.6 kpc). At this time, it is unclear whether this is due to the prevalence of small disks at these redshifts or some unknown selection effects of deep ALMA observations. A larger sample of ALMA sources with NIRCam observations will be able to address this question.

description: The well-known duality between quasinormal modes of any stationary, spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat or de Sitter black hole and parameters of the circular null geodesic was initially claimed for gravitational and test field perturbations. According to this duality the real and imaginary parts of the $\ell \gg n$ quasinormal mode (where $\ell$ and $n$ are multipole and overtone numbers respectively) are multiples of the frequency and instability timescale of the circular null geodesics respectively. Later it was shown that the duality is guaranteed only for test fields and may be broken for gravitational and other non-minimally coupled fields. Here, we farther specify the duality and prove that even when the duality is guaranteed it may not represent the full spectrum of the $\ell \gg n$ modes, missing the quasinormal frequencies which cannot be found by the standard WKB method. In particular we show that this always happens for an arbitrary asymptotically de Sitter black holes and further argue that, in general, this might be related to sensitivity of the quasinormal spectrum to geometry deformations near the boundaries.

description: In black hole X-ray binaries, a non-thermal high-energy component is sometimes detected at energies above 200 keV. The origin of this component is debated and distinct spectral modelizations can lead to different interpretations. High-energy polarimetry measurements with INTEGRAL allow new diagnostics on the physics responsible for the MeV spectral component. In this work, we aim to investigate the high-energy behavior of three bright sources discovered by the MAXI: MAXI J1535-571, MAXI J1820+070 and MAXI J1348-630. We take advantage of their brightness to investigate their soft gamma-ray (0.1-2 MeV) properties with INTEGRAL. We use both spectral and polarimetric approaches to probe their high-energy emission with the aim to bring new constraints on the ~ MeV emission. We first study the spectral characteristics of the sources in the 3-2000 keV using JEM-X, IBIS and SPI with a semi-phenomenological description of the data. We then use IBIS as a Compton telescope in order to evaluate the polarization properties of the sources above 300 keV. A high-energy component is detected during the HIMS and SIMS of MAXI J1535-571, the LHS of MAXI J1820+070 and the LHS of MAXI J1348-630. The components detected in MAXI J1820+070 and MAXI J1348-630 are polarized with a polarization fraction of 26 +/- 9° and > 56 % in the 300-1000 keV, respectively. With no polarization information for MAXI J1535-571, the component detected could either come from the jets or the corona. In the case of MAXI J1820+070, the extrapolation of the synchrotron spectrum measured in the infrared indicates that the component is likely due to a non-thermal distribution of electrons from a hybrid corona. For MAXI J1348-630, the high fraction of polarization points towards a jets origin, however, we cannot formally conclude without any infrared data giving information on the optically thin part of the synchrotron spectrum.

description: The increasing deforestation and fires since 2019 raises concerns about the irreversible destruction of the Brazilian Amazon. Our goal was to better understand these changes in south-west Pará across different land-tenure and farm systems and between the terms of President Rousseff, Temer, and Bolsonaro. We reconstructed deforestation and fire history using all Landsat and Sentinel-2 observations from 2014 to 2020 and assessed, using quasi-experimental methods, the average treatment effects of each presidency on deforestation and fires across land-tenure and farm types. Deforestation nearly quadrupled to 1,201 km2, particularly during Bolsonaro in undesignated areas and conservation units and on medium-sized farms (p < 0.001). Burning increased to 4,805 km2 and in all tenure types (p < 0.001). The increase was strongest in agrarian settlements and conservation units and on medium and large farms. Our observations show the importance of clarifying land-tenure and re-strengthening disincentives of environmental infractions, which have been weakened specifically under President Bolsonaro.

description: Silica gel column chromatography fractionation of the dichloromethane extract (LCD) of Leucas cephalotes (Roth.) Spreng. led to the isolation of five compounds namely β-sitosterol (1) + stigmasterol (2), lupeol (3), oleanolic acid (4) and laballenic acid (5). Also, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of sub-fraction (LCD-F1) of this extract showed the presence of eleven (6-16) compounds. In addition to this, 3-5 and LCD-F1 were evaluated for lipopolysachharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β production in RAW 264.7 and J774A.1 cells. Results directed that 4 and 5 were found to inhibit these mediators at half maximal inhibitory concentration of 17.12 to 57.20 μM while IC50 for LCD-F1 was found to be 15.56 to 31.71 μg/mL. Furthermore, LCD at a dose of 50, 100 and 400 mg/Kg was found to reduce significantly LPS induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β production in female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. All the results findings evoked that the anti-inflammatory effects of Leucas cephalotes is partially mediated through the suppression of pro-inflammatory mediators and hence can be utilized for the development of anti-inflammatory candidates.

description: We propose a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) dark matter (DM) model based on an additional non-Abelian gauge symmetry $SU(2)_D$. The gauge symmetry $SU(2)_D$ is spontaneously broken to a global custodial symmetry $U(1)_V$ via the nonvanishing vacuum expectation values of $SU(2)_D$ doublet and triplet scalar fields. Due to the exact global symmetry $U(1)_V$, the lightest $U(1)_V$ charged particle becomes stable. We assume that the lightest charged particle in the model is the charged complex pNGB, which we regard as DM. It avoids the strong constraints from current DM direct detection experiments due to the property of NGB. We find that the measured energy density of DM can be reproduced when the DM mass is larger than the half of the Higgs mass, where the lower limit generally comes from the constraint of DM invisible decay and the upper limit from DM direct detection experiments depends on the model parameters.

Learning Binary Features Online from Motion Dynamics for Incremental Loop-Closure Detection and Place Recognition

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: This paper proposes a simple yet effective approach to learn visual features online for improving loop-closure detection and place recognition, based on bag-of-words frameworks. The approach learns a codeword in bag-of-words model from a pair of matched features from two consecutive frames, such that the codeword has temporally-derived perspective invariance to camera motion. The learning algorithm is efficient: the binary descriptor is generated from the mean image patch, and the mask is learned based on discriminative projection by minimizing the intra-class distances among the learned feature and the two original features. A codeword for bag-of-words models is generated by packaging the learned descriptor and mask, with a masked Hamming distance defined to measure the distance between two codewords. The geometric properties of the learned codewords are then mathematically justified. In addition, hypothesis constraints are imposed through temporal consistency in matched codewords, which improves precision. The approach, integrated in an incremental bag-of-words system, is validated on multiple benchmark data sets and compared to state-of-the-art methods. Experiments demonstrate improved precision/recall outperforming state of the art with little loss in runtime.

description: This article looks at Ali Smith’s The Accidental as a novel in which pastiche and mashups of content create a kind of cross media storytelling that pushes the ontological boundaries of narrative. At the centre of the novel is Amber, a mysterious visitor introduced here as a transworld identity who weaves the novel’s plot by using contents and knowledge belonging to extradiegetic worlds and their timelines. Thus, she is in a position to interact with the other characters as if they were metareferential elements of the story and change their fate. By using Amber as a literary device which oscillates between different temporalities, Smith also explores how language mediates contemporary subjectivity, which is divided into a variety of fictional realities.

description: Le mappe contemporanee dell'Africa mostrano chiaramente i confini degli stati di tutto il continente. Non tutti sanno, tuttavia, che, prima della corsa coloniale per l'Africa, le frontiere nazionali e i confini geografici erano molto meno codificati. Al giorno d'oggi la percezione dei confini coloniali tra le persone che vivono nelle zone di frontiera è diversificata in quanto, i confini sono soggetti a interpretazione e negoziazione culturale. Le separazioni create dai confini coloniali possono non essere percepite come permanenti, le persone possono sentire di avere legami molto forti oltre i confini nazionali e, inoltre, i confini possono essere creati attraverso la costruzione di categorie culturali estranee ai confini politici. Inoltre, le stesse linee create dalle frontiere nazionali possono favorire aggregazioni di indicatori di identità etnica associati in modo diverso su ciascun lato della frontiera tanto che le persone possono utilizzare aree di frontiera opposte per migliorare positivamente la propria percezione di sé e perfino l’autostima. Gli Zigula somali che vivevano lungo il fiume Juba prima di essere sfollati dalla guerra sono un esempio di persone che hanno trascurato frontiere nazionali moderne e considerato invece le somiglianze culturali molto rilevanti per l’identità del proprio gruppo. Aspetti linguistici e parentali possono essere manipolati e adattati a questo scopo. Questo testo descrive alcune condizioni per le quali le somiglianze culturali possono diventare modalità per effetto delle quali i confini sarebbero essere realmente tali, dividendo territori adiacenti, ma costruiti culturalmente; inoltre le aree di frontiera possono essere luoghi nei quali rami di '"identità positiva" (Epstein 1983, 185) vengono sperimentati e vissuti. I campi profughi e lo status di rifugiato possono essere considerati aree di frontiera in senso sia geografico che metaforico.

All the main actors involved in the regional geopolitics have repeatedly caused the borderline to fluctuate, reshaping every time the frontier region and its dynamics. This article seeks to illustrate the evolution underwent by the Lebanese Southern borderland until the Israeli invasion in 1982, focusing on some relevant categories theorized in the broader framework of border studies.

description: Thickness uniformity is regarded as an important parameter in designing thin film devices. However, some applications based on films with non-uniform thickness have recently emerged, such as gas sensors and optimized materials based on the gradual change of film composition. This work deals with superconducting Pb thin films with a thickness gradient prepared with the aid of a diffuse stencil mask. Atomic Force Microscopy and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy show variations ranging from 90~nm to 154~nm. Quantitative magneto-optical images reveal interesting features during both the abrupt and the smooth penetration regimes of magnetic flux, as well as the thickness-dependent critical current density ($J_c$). In addition, we observe a gradual superconducting transition as the upper critical field is progressively reached for certain thicknesses. Furthermore, the hysteresis observed for triggering flux avalanches when increasing and decreasing magnetic fields is also accounted for by the $J_c$ profile evolution along the thickness gradient. Numerical simulations based on the Thermomagnetic Model are in fair agreement with the experimental data. These findings demonstrate that wedge-shaped films are a viable approach to investigate, in a continuous fashion, thickness-dependent properties of a superconducting materials.
On the genesis of spiral galaxies -- Classical and pseudo bulges as extremities of a continuous sequence

description: A tantalizing enigma in extragalactic astronomy concerns the chronology and driving mechanisms of the build-up of late-type galaxies (LTGs). The standard scenario envisages two formation routes, with classical bulges (CBs) assembling first in a quick quasi-monolithic episode followed by gradual disk assembly, and pseudo-bulges (PBs) forming over the Gyr-long secular evolution of LTGs. The expectation is, therefore, the segregation of present-day LTG bulges into two distinct groups. Here we analyse the star formation histories (SFHs) of bulges and disks for 135 LTGs from the CALIFA survey covering the relevant range in LTG mass. In addition, their physical properties were contrasted with predictions from evolutionary synthesis models, adopting exponentially declining SFHs, with an e-folding time 0.1 < $τ$ < 20 Gyr. Analysis of the SFHs of ~ half-million spaxels consistently reveals that the main properties of bulges and disks show a continuous distribution across total stellar mass. Moreover, the $τ$ in high-mass LTGs radially increases, suggesting that these grow in an inside-out fashion, while lower-mass LTGs display roughly the same $τ$ throughout their entire radial extent. Evolutionary synthesis predictions are consistent with observations. Finally, bulges and disks of higher mass LTGs exhibit shorter formation timescales as compared to their lower mass counterparts. Collectively, the obtained results evince a coherent and unified picture for the formation and evolution of LTGs, in which PBs and CBs denote extremities of a continuous sequence. This analysis is consistent with the framework where bulges are assembled with their parent disks by gradual inside-out growth, at a pace that is regulated by the depth of the galactic potential. In accordance is the utter absence of bimodal correlations, as expected if CBs and PBs were to emerge from two distinct formation routes.

description: The gravitational Lagrangian can be written as a summation of a bulk and a total derivative term. For some theories of gravity such as Einstein gravity, or more general Lovelock gravities, there are Lagrangian holographic relations between the bulk and the total derivative term such that the latter is fully determined by the former. However at the $D\rightarrow 2\&4$ limit, the bulks of Einstein or Gauss-Bonnet theories become themselves total derivatives. Performing the Kaluza-Klein reduction on Einstein and Gauss-Bonnet gravities gives rise to some two-dimensional or four-dimensional scalar-tensor theories respectively. We obtain the holographic relations for the $D = 2$ and $D = 4$ cases, which have the same form as the holographic relations in pure gravity in the foliation independent formalism.

description: Ground-based observing time is precious in the era of exoplanet follow-up and characterization, especially in high-precision radial velocity instruments. Blind-search radial velocity surveys thus require a dedicated observational strategy in order to optimize the observing time, which is particularly crucial for the detection of small rocky worlds at large orbital periods. We develop an algorithm with the purpose of improving the efficiency of radial velocity observations in the context of exoplanet searches, and we apply it to the K-dwarfs Orbited By habitable Exoplanets (KOBE) experiment. We aim at accelerating exoplanet confirmations or, alternatively, rejecting false signals as early as possible in order to save telescope time and increase the efficiency of both blind-search surveys and follow-up of transiting candidates. Once a minimum initial number of radial velocity datapoints is reached in such a way that a periodicity starts to emerge according to generalized Lomb-Scargle (GLS) periodograms, that period is targeted with the proposed algorithm, named $\texttt{KOBEsim}$. The algorithm selects the next observing date that maximizes the Bayesian evidence for such periodicity in comparison with a model with no Keplerian orbits. By means of simulated data, we prove that the algorithm accelerates the exoplanet detection, needing $29 - 33\,\%$ less observations and $41 - 47\,\%$ less timespan of the full dataset for low-mass planets ($m_{\rm p}\,<\,10\,M_{\oplus}$) in comparison with a conventional monotonic cadence strategy. The enhancement in the number of datapoints for $20\,M_{\oplus}$ planets is also appreciable, $16\,\%$. We also test $\texttt{KOBEsim}$ with real data for a particular KOBE target, and for the confirmed planet $HD~102365\,b$. Both of them demonstrate that the strategy is capable of speeding up the detection up to a factor of $2$.

description: It is commonly accepted that radio-loud active galactic nuclei are hosted exclusively by giant elliptical galaxies. We analyze high-resolution optical Hubble Space Telescope images of a sample of radio galaxies with extended double-lobed structures associated with disk-like optical counterparts. After systematically evaluating the probability of chance alignment between the radio lobes and the optical counterparts, we obtain a sample of 18 objects likely to have genuine associations. The host galaxies have unambiguous late-type morphologies, including spiral arms, large-scale dust lanes among the edge-on systems, and exceptionally weak bulges, as judged by the low global concentrations, small global Sérsic indices, and low bulge-to-total light ratios (median $B/T = 0.13$). With a median Sérsic index of 1.4 and low effective surface brightnesses, the bulges are consistent with being pseudo bulges. The majority of the hosts have unusually large stellar masses (median $M_* = 1.3\times 10^{11}\, M_\odot$) and red optical colors (median $g-r = 0.69\,$mag), consistent with massive, quiescent galaxies on the red sequence. We suggest that black hole mass (stellar mass) plays a fundamental role in launching large-scale radio jets, and that the rarity of extended radio lobes in late-type galaxies is the consequence of the steep stellar mass function at the high-mass end. The disk radio galaxies have mostly Fanaroff-Riley type II morphologies yet lower radio power than sources of a similar type traditionally hosted by ellipticals. The radio jets show no preferential alignment with the minor axis of the galactic bulge or disk, apart from a possible mild tendency for alignment among the most disk-dominated systems.

description: We introduce a method for reducing anisotropic heavy-quark potentials to isotropic potentials by using an effective screening mass that depends on the quantum numbers $l$ and $m$ of a given state. We demonstrate that, using the resulting 1D effective potential model, one can solve a 1D Schrödinger equation and reproduce the full 3D results for the energies and binding energies of low-lying heavy-quarkonium bound states to relatively high accuracy. This includes the splitting of different p-wave polarizations. The resulting 1D effective model provides a way to include momentum anisotropy effects in open quantum system simulations of heavy-quarkonium dynamics in the quark-gluon plasma.

description: A so-called artificial graphene is an artificial material whose low-energy carriers are described by the massless Dirac equation. Applying a periodic potential with triangular symmetry to a two-dimensional electron gas is one way to make such a material. According to recent experimental results, it is now possible to realize an artificial graphene in the lab and to even apply an additional lateral, one-dimensional periodic potential to it. We name the latter system an artificial graphene superlattice in order to distinguish it from a genuine graphene superlattice made from graphene. In this study, we investigate the electronic structure of artificial graphene superlattices, which exhibit the emergence of energy band gaps, merging and splitting of the Dirac points, etc. Then, from a similar investigation on genuine graphene superlattices, we show that many of these features originate from the coupling between Dirac fermions residing in two different valleys, the intervalley coupling. Furthermore, contrary to previous studies, we find that the effects of intervalley coupling on the electronic structure cannot be ignored no matter how long the spatial period of the superlattice is.

description: Oscillatory double-diffusive convection in horizontal cavity with Soret and Dufour effects is investigated numerically based on SIMPLE algorithm with QUICK scheme in non-uniform staggered grid system. The results show that double-diffusive convection develops from steady-state convection-dominated, periodic oscillatory, quasi-periodic oscillatory to chaotic flow, and finally return to periodic oscillation as buoyancy ratio increases. Moreover, fundamental frequency and fluctuation amplitude increase with buoyancy ratio. As Rayleigh number increases, transition trendy of oscillatory convection is similar to that of buoyancy ratio. But the return of periodic oscillation from chaos is not obtained as Rayleigh number increases. As aspect ratio decreases, the oscillatory convection evolves from periodic into steady-state. In addition, fundamental frequency increases at first and then decreases while fluctuation amplitude decreases with aspect ratio.
