description: To characterize noise exposure of riders on Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) trains, we measured noise levels twice on each segment of 7 of the 8 CTA train lines, which are named after colors, yielding 48 time-series measurements. We found the Blue Line has the highest noise levels compared to other train lines, with mean 76.9 dBA; and that the maximum noise level, 88.9 dBA occurred in the tunnel between the Chicago and Grand stations. Train segments involving travel through a tunnel had significantly higher noise levels than segments with travel on elevated and ground level tracks. While 8-hr doses inside the passenger cars were not estimated to exceed occupational exposure limits, train operators ride in a separate cab with operational windows and may therefore have higher noise exposures than riders. Despite the low risk of hearing loss for riders on CTA trains, in part because transit noise accounts for a small part of total daily noise exposure, 1-min average noise levels exceeded 85 dBA at times. This confirms anecdotal observations of discomfort due to noise levels, and indicates a need for noise management, particularly in tunnels.

description: U.S. Air Force small arms firing ranges began using copper-based, lead-free frangible ammunition in the early 2000s due to environmental and health concerns related to the use of lead-based ammunition. Exposure assessments at these firing ranges have routinely detected chemicals and metals in amounts much lower than their mass-based occupational exposure limits, yet, instructors report work-related health concerns including respiratory distress, nausea, and headache. The objective of this study at one firing range was to characterize the aerosol emissions produced by weapons during firing events and evaluate the ventilation system's effectiveness in controlling instructor exposure to these emissions. The ventilation system was assessed by measuring the range static air pressure differential and the air velocity at the firing line. Air flow patterns were near the firing line. Instructor exposure was sampled using a filter-based air sampling method for metals and a wearable, real-time ultrafine particle counter. Area air sampling was simultaneously performed to characterize the particle size distribution, morphology, and composition. In the instructor's breathing zone, the airborne mass concentration of copper was low (range = <1 µg/m3 to 16 µg/m3), yet the ultrafine (nanoscale) particle number concentration increased substantially during each firing event. Ultrafine particles contained some copper and were complex in morphology and composition. The ventilation assessment found that the average velocity across all shooting lanes was acceptable compared to the recommended guideline (20% of the ideal 0.38 m/s (75 ft/min). However, uniform, downrange airflow pattern requirements were not met. These results suggest that the mass-based occupational exposure limits, as applied to this environment, may not be protective enough to eliminate health complaints reported by instructors whose full-time job involves training personnel on weapons that fire lead-free frangible ammunition. Using an ultrafine particle counter appears to be an alternative method of assessing ventilation effectiveness in removing ultrafine particulate produced during firing events.

description: Environmental stress conditions such as high light, extreme temperatures, salinity or drought trigger oxidative stress and eventually protein misfolding in plants. In chloroplasts, chaperone systems refold proteins after stress, while proteases degrade misfolded and aggregated proteins that cannot be refolded. We observed that reduced activity of chloroplast Hsp70 chaperone or Clp protease systems both prevented growth of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings after treatment with the oxidative agent methyl viologen. Besides showing a role for these particular protein quality control components on the protection against oxidative stress, we provide evidence supporting the existence of a yet undiscovered pathway for Clp-mediated degradation of the damaged proteins.

description: The first X-ray crystal structures of coordination compounds of OP[NC4H8O]3 phosphoric triamide (L) are investigated in Cl2(CH3)2Sn(trans-L)2 (1) and [Mn(H2O)4(trans-L)2]Cl2·2H2O (2) as models of molecular and salt complexes for Hirshfeld surface-based analysis. The crystal packing of 1 includes weak interactions, while in the salt complex 2, a two-dimensional aggregate, along the (001) plane, is mediated by normal O–H…Cl and O–H…O hydrogen bonds. In the Hirshfeld study, the crystal cohesion of 1 and 2 are recognized via H…H, O…H/H…O and Cl…H/H…Cl contacts. Among these interactions, hydrogen bonds O–H…Cl occur in the salt structure of 2, as well as some weaker hydrogen interactions as C–H…O (1 and 2), C–H…Cl (1) and O–H…O (2). The full fingerprint plots have nearly symmetric shapes for two independent molecules of 1, while an asymmetric shape appears for the cationic component of 2. To extract more detailed information on close intermolecular contacts, the molecular surface of the previously reported structure L was also mapped. The structure 2 is the first monomeric octahedral Mn(II)-phosphoric triamide complex reported so far. Furthermore, the Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2 is the first such study on a cation-anion complex structure including phosphoric triamide ligand.

A convenient method was used for the synthesis of these target compounds. After the preparation of the intermediate with trifluomethyl group, the target compounds were synthesised by Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. Then, these phase transition temperatures were measured by polarising textural observation, which confirmed the existence of single nematic phase. These temperatures were also measured by differential scanning calorimetry, which showed that the clearing point of compound (n = 3) is 267℃. The possible mechanism of occurrence of unique nematic phase was discussed on the basis of the principles of fluorine chemistry.

description: Quantum battery (QB) is an energy storage and extraction device conforming to the principles of quantum mechanics. In this study, we consider the characteristics of QBs for the Heisenberg spin chain models in the absence and presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. Our results show that the DM interaction can enhance the ergotropy and power of QBs, which shows the collective charging can outperform parallel charging regarding QB's performance. Besides, it turns out that first-order coherence is a crucial quantum resource during charging, while quantum steering between the cells is not conducive to the energy storage of QBs. Our investigations offer insight into the properties of QBs with Heisenberg spin chain models with DM interaction and facilitate us to acquire the performance in the framework of realistic quantum batteries.

description: RESUMO

 

A pandemia de COVID-19 teve um impacto profundo nas dinâmicas sociais e de saúde em todo o mundo. Além dos desafios de saúde pública que ela apresentou, também trouxe à tona o aumento da Violência por Parceiro Íntimo (VPI). Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os estudos que avaliaram a prevalência de Violência por Parceiro Íntimo durante o período de pandemia, com foco especial nas implicações para mulheres e crianças. Utilizou-se uma metodologia de revisão integrativa, que abrange a análise de artigos científicos publicados nos últimos três anos. Observou-se que houve diversas manifestações da VPI no mundo todo, incluindo formas físicas, sexuais, psicológicas e econômicas. Foi apontado que, frequentemente, os agressores são parceiros ou familiares que compartilham o mesmo espaço com as vítimas. As conclusões desse estudo destacam a necessidade urgente de medidas para proteger as vítimas de VPI, isso inclui a implementação de campanhas de conscientização, o treinamento de profissionais para identificar e tratar casos e a disponibilização de serviços de apoio às vítimas.

description: The effect of secondary hydrogen-bonding interactions on the crystalline and liquid crystalline phases of quaternary ammonium salts functionalised with a carboxylic group attached at the polar head through a decyl spacer of a homologous series of N-alkyl-N-carboxydecyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bromides was investigated by polarising optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The low-temperature crystal phases were found to have a lamellar structure in which the ammonium bromide groups are arranged within the layers in two distinct planes, alternately separated by single layers of alkyl chains and double layers of carboxydecyl chains coupled through the carboxyl end groups. At higher temperatures, although these molecules were made from soft flexible chains, smectic H mesophases were identified. The smectic layers were found to be formed by the same two ionic planes alternately separated by the alkyl and carboxydecyl sub-layers. The smectic structure was compared with the three-dimensional positional order observed in the smectic T phase of dihydroxyl functionalised quaternary ammonium salts already described in the literature.

description: A survey was developed and administered to incoming students at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson to assess gaps in LGBTQIA+ knowledge and compare the responses of LGBTQIA+-identifying medical students to non-LGBTQIA+ medical students. Incoming medical students in 2020 and 2021 (n=64 and n=114) took an entrance survey to assess four pillars related to LGBTQIA+ healthcare: basic knowledge, clinical skills, societal attitudes, and individual comfort. These concepts were assessed, respectively, based on one's self-reported ability to define LGBTQIA+ identity terms, confidence in professionalism in clinical scenarios, importance of including LGBTQIA+ healthcare education in medicine, and personal comfort interacting with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Students were also asked about their individual identities and career preferences as future physicians.

description: To study the effect of the lateral substituents on the UV stability of high birefringence liquid crystals (LCs), computational chemistry was used to examine a series of high birefringence LCs based on a diphenyl-diacetylene (DPDA) central core, thiophene segments as elongated π-conjugated units and four electron-withdrawing groups (-F, -CF3, -OCF3, -CN) as lateral substituents. In the present study, geometry optimisations have been performed using the DFT/B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) method. Out of a series of functional and basis sets examined, the functional ωB97X-D and basis set 6-31G (d, p) are most successful in predicting charge transfer absorption. The theoretical study indicates that the enhancement of UV stability is related with the types, numbers and positions of the lateral substituents. The calculated results indicate that the electron-withdrawing groups can shorten triple bond length, decrease energy gap value and increase the absorption maxima of the high-Δn LCs, which is beneficial for good UV stability. With the introduction of increasing lateral electron-withdrawing substituent numbers, the DPDA derivatives would further improve UV stability. This work may provide an effective solution for the obstacle existed in the high-Δn LCs with DPDA structures and pave a way for their applications in LC photonics.

description: A series of 4-alkoxybenzoic acids 1[m,n] and their methyl esters 2[m,n] containing a partially fluorinated alkyl chain was prepared and their physical properties were investigated by optical, thermal and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The former exhibits an SmC phase, while the latter form an SmA phase. XRD analysis indicated liquid-like character of the linking alkyl chains, and showed a decreasing layer thermal expansion coefficient from positive to negative upon increasing the degree of fluorination. The new esters 2[m,n] expanded the series and permitted analysis of trends in thermal stability of the SmA phase. The results demonstrate that the SmA–I transition temperature increases by about +20 K per CF2CF2 unit, and is destabilised by –5.6 K upon extending the hydrocarbon part by each CH2CH2 group. Data for the expanded series 2[m,n] were used for comparative analysis of mesogenic behaviour in two other series of derivatives of 1[m,n]. Synthetic methods for 1[m,n] and 2[m,n] are reviewed.

description: This paper analyzes the livelihood of the agro-pastoral communities of Western part of Tajikistan, the Zarafshan valley. The data were amassed on current fodder management practices in eighteen villages through households as well as agro-pastoralists and visual observation on local pasture areas. The interviews and discussions yielded more information on the decision-making processes that dehkans (farmers) employ to determine the quantity and composition of feed offered to livestock at particular times of the year. Among the influences to decisions were constraints to grazing and knowledge of appropriate lopping regimes for different animal fodder species. Varying degrees of access to off-farm fodder sources and the numbers of livestock kept by different households were also seen to affect fodder management decisions. Development activities aimed at labour use to fodder collection and the exchange of local knowledge regarding local fodder management are most likely to result in improvements in the levels of fodder supply for the majority of households in the short term. The variations were discussed within site-specific dehkan groups and between group representatives at a series of workshops. According to the results, stable type, number of cattle, size of cultivated land, labor availability per household, existence of small ruminant flock in the village, and the number of small ruminants were found to be most important factors affecting household economic status. It was concluded that more robust and long-term studies should be conducted using a wider variation in grassland quality to confirm the study findings.

description: The detection of T cell activation is critical in many immunological assays. However, detecting T cell activation in live tissues remains a challenge due to highly noisy data. We developed a Bayesian probabilistic model to identify T cell activation based on calcium flux, a increase in intracellular calcium concentration that occurs during T cell activation. Because a T cell has unknown number of flux events, the implementation of posterior inference requires trans-dimensional posterior simulation. The model is able to detect calcium flux events at the single cell level from simulated data, as well as from noisy biological data.

The sample characterisations were carried out by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and photoluminescence spectra. XRD results revealed Eu3+-doped samples were a pure γ-Al2O3 phase after being calcined at 1173 K. SEM results showed that these Eu3+-doped Al2O3 samples were stalk-like, with an average length of 1.5 μm. Upon excitation at 394 nm, the orange–red emission bands, having wavelengths longer than 580 nm, were to be from 5D0→7FJ (J = 1, 2) transitions. The asymmetry ratio of (5D0→7F2)/(5D0→7F1) intensity is about 0.54, 2.76, 3.29, 2.86, 3.36, 3.13 for Eu3+ concentrations of 0.1, 0.4, 0.7, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mol-%, respectively. The optimal doping concentration of Eu3+ ions in Al2O3 is 1.5 mol-%. According to Dexter's theory, the critical distance between Eu3+ ions for energy transfer was determined to be 14 Å.

description: Studying the hemispheric distribution of active regions (ARs) with different magnetic morphology may clarify the features of the dynamo process that is hidden under the photospheric level. The magnetic flux data for 3047 ARs from the CrAO catalog between May 1996 and December 2021 (cycles 23 and 24) were used to study ARs cyclic variations and perform correlation analysis. According to the magneto-morphological classification (MMC) of ARs proposed earlier, subsets of the regular (obeying empirical rules for sunspots) and irregular (violating these rules) ARs were considered separately. Our analysis shows the following. For ARs of each MMC type, in each of the hemispheres, time profiles demonstrate a multi-peak structure. The double-peak structure of a cycle is formed by ARs of both MMC types in both hemispheres. For the irregular ARs, the pronounced peaks occur in the second maxima (close to the polar field reversal). Their significant hemispheric imbalance might be caused by a weakening of the toroidal field in one of the hemispheres due to the interaction between the dipolar and quadrupolar components of the global field, which facilitates the manifestation of the turbulent component of the dynamo. The similarity of the irregular ARs activity that was found in adjacent cycles in different hemispheres also hints at realization of the mix-parity dynamo solution. For the quadrupolar-like component of the flux (compiled in the simple axisymmetric approximation), signs of oscillations with a period of about 15 years are found, and they are pronounced specifically for the irregular groups. This MMC type ARs might also contribute in $α$-quenching.

description: Agricultural rent in land-use models: comparison of frequently used proxies. Spatial Economic Analysis. This paper compares the performance of econometric land-use models based on three proxies for agricultural land rent: farmers’ revenues, land prices and shadow land prices derived from a mathematical programming model. We consider different land-use classes (agriculture, pasture, forest, urban and other), different determinants (economic, physical and demographic) of land-use shares and different spatial econometric specifications. It is found that the inclusion of spatial components significantly improves the quality of predictions. In terms of economic interpretation, the shadow land prices provide the most stable and intuitive results.

description: The hazard function describes the instantaneous rate of failure at a time t, given that the individual survives up to t. In applications, the effect of covariates produce changes in the hazard function. When dealing with survival analysis, it is of interest to identify where a change point in time has occurred. In this work, covariates and censored variables are considered in order to estimate a change-point in the Weibull regression hazard model, which is a generalization of the exponential model. For this more general model, it is possible to obtain maximum likelihood estimators for the change-point and for the parameters involved. A Monte Carlo simulation study shows that indeed, it is possible to implement this model in practice. An application with clinical trial data coming from a treatment of chronic granulomatous disease is also included.

description: Friction anisotropy is an important property of many surfaces that usually facilitate the generation of motion in a preferred direction. Such surfaces are very common in biological systems and have been the templates for various bio-inspired materials with similar tribological properties. So far friction anisotropy is considered to be the result of an asymmetric arrangement of surface nano- and microstructures. However, here we show by using bio-inspired sawtooth-structured surfaces that the anisotropic friction properties are not only controlled by an asymmetric surface topography, but also by the ratio of the sample–substrate stiffness, the aspect ratio of surface structures, and by the substrate roughness. Systematically modifying these parameters, we were able to demonstrate a broad range of friction anisotropies, and for specific sample–substrate combinations even an inversion of the anisotropy. This result highlights the complex interrelation between the different material and topographical parameters on friction properties and sheds new light on the conventional design paradigm of tribological systems. Finally, this result is also of great importance for understanding functional principles of biological materials and surfaces, as such inversion of friction anisotropy may correlate with gait pattern and walking behaviour in climbing animals, which in turn may be used in robotic applications.

description: Context: Various processes including inflammation and endothelial dysfunction have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardioembolic (CE) strokes. Objective: To review the evidence and investigate the association between immune-inflammatory biomarkers and CE strokes versus other stroke subtypes. Methods: We systematically reviewed the literature (sources: MEDLINE, web-based register http://stroke-biomarkers.com, reference lists) with quality assessment and meta-analysis of selected articles. Results: The most consistent association was found between C-reactive protein (CRP) and CE strokes when compared to other stroke subtypes (standardized mean difference 0.223 (0.116, 0.343); p Conclusions: Our findings confirm a possible association between selected inflammatory biomarkers and CE stroke.

description: Axion inflation entails a coupling of the inflaton field to gauge fields through the Chern-Simons term. This results in a strong gauge field production during inflation, which backreacts on the inflaton equation of motion. Here we show that this strongly non-linear system generically experiences a resonant enhancement of the gauge field production, resulting in oscillatory features in the inflaton velocity as well as in the gauge field spectrum. The gauge fields source a strongly enhanced scalar power spectrum at small scales, exceeding previous estimates. For appropriate parameter choices, the collapse of these over-dense regions can lead to a large population of (light) primordial black holes with remarkable phenomenological consequences.
Evolution of parton showers and parton distribution functions

description: Initial state evolution in parton shower event generators involves parton distribution functions. We examine the probability for the system to evolve from a higher scale to a lower scale without an initial state splitting. A simple argument suggests that this probability, when multiplied by the ratio of the parton distributions at the two scales, should be independent of the parton distribution functions. We call this the PDF property. We examine whether the PDF property actually holds using Pythia and Deductor. We also test a related property for the Deductor shower and discuss the physics behind the results.
