description: Vitamin D intakes are concerningly low. Food-based strategies are urgently warranted to increase vitamin D intakes and subsequently improve 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations. This acute randomised three-way crossover study investigated the efficacy of vitamin D biofortified pork derived from pigs exposed to UVB light to increase serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations, compared to a dose-matched vitamin D3 supplement and control pork in adults (n = 14). Blood samples were obtained at baseline and then 1.5, 3, 6, 9 and 24 h postprandially. There was a significant effect of time (p < 0.01) and a significant treatment*time interaction (p < 0.05). UV pork and supplement significantly increased within-group serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations over timepoints (p < 0.05) (max. change 0.9 nmol/L (2.2%) UV pork, 1.5 nmol/L (3.5%) supplement, 0.7 nmol/L (1.9%) control). Vitamin D biofortified pork modestly increased 25(OH)D3 concentrations and produced a similar response pattern as a dose-matched vitamin D supplement, but biofortification protocols should be further optimised to ensure differentiation from standard pork.

description: The magnetoresistance (MR) $Δρ/ρ$ of cage-glass compound Ho$_x$Lu$_{1-x}$B$_{12}$ with various concentration of magnetic holmium ions ($x$$\leq$0.5) has been studied in detail concurrently with magnetization M(T) and Hall effect investigations on high quality single crystals at temperatures 1.9-120 K and in magnetic field up to 80 kOe. The undertaken analysis of $Δρ/ρ$ allows us to conclude that the large negative magnetoresistance (nMR) observed in vicinity of Neel temperature is caused by scattering of charge carriers on magnetic clusters of Ho$^{3+}$ ions, and that these nanosize regions with AF exchange inside may be considered as short range order AF domains. It was shown that the Yosida relation $-Δρ/ρ$$\sim$$M^2$ provides an adequate description of the nMR effect for the case of Langevin type behavior of magnetization. Moreover, a reduction of Ho-ion effective magnetic moments in the range 3-9$μ_B$ was found to develop both with temperature lowering and under the increase of holmium content. A phenomenological description of the large positive quadratic contribution $Δρ/ρ$$\sim$$μ_D^2 H^2$ which dominates in Ho$_x$Lu$_{1-x}$B$_{12}$ in the intermediate temperature range 20-120 K allows to estimate the drift mobility exponential changes $μ_D$$\sim$$T^{-a}$ with $a$=1.3-1.6 depending on Ho concentration. An even more comprehensive behavior of magnetoresistance has been found in the AF state of Ho$_x$Lu$_{1-x}$B$_{12}$ where an additional linear positive component was observed and attributed to charge carriers scattering on the spin density wave (SDW). High precision measurements of $Δρ/ρ=f(H,T)$ have allowed us also to reconstruct the magnetic H-T phase diagram of Ho$_{0.5}$Lu$_{0.5}$B$_{12}$ and to resolve its magnetic structure as a superposition of 4f (based on localized moments) and 5d (based on SDW) components.

FAIR-enabling National Level Support Programme

description: These slides were presented during the FAIR Implementation Workshop to introduce the Support Programme for National Level Initiatives which took place on 25 August 2023. The results of the menti poll referenced in the slide deck have been uploaded as part of this submission as well. The event page is available at https://fair-impact.eu/events/fair-impact-events/fair-implementation-workshop-support-national-level-initiatives. Event description: Researchers play a key role in making their outputs findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) but equally the organisations who employ them, the funding bodies that financially support and influence the way they work, and the range of infrastructures that are used by researchers to create, share and curate their outputs also play critical roles. On a national level, the coordination of efforts and actors is important. To help foster a FAIR ecosystem, FAIR-IMPACT will support representatives from national level initiatives to begin or progress their FAIR-enabling journeys. FAIR-IMPACT will provide examples of good practice, dedicated guidance and one-to-one support to successful applicants to self-assess their current capabilities and to develop FAIR implementation action plans. For more information on this support programme, see Route 1 on our open call webpage at https://fair-impact.eu/fair-impact-open-calls-support. FAIR-IMPACT introduced this support programme via an hour long, virtual workshop to on August 25th. The session outlined the support that will be provided for National Level Initiatives, explained what is expected of participants, and provided an overview of the application process. There was time set aside for participants to have a chance to ask any practical questions about the support programmes. Registration for this webinar was free and open to all.

description: Proteins are subject to numerous post-translational modifications (PTMs) that can alter the chemical structure, and hence function, of the molecule. The astonishing diversity of PTMs possible on proteins is exemplified by histones, nuclear proteins that form the protein core of the nucleosome particle. Histones can be modified in a variety of ways including acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, ADP-ribosylation and ubiquitylation. Moreover, many, if not all, of these modifications can occur in combination. Indeed, there is growing evidence that functional cross-talk between histone PTMs is essential for the regulation of gene expression and ultimately cell fate and identity. Biochemical studies into the role of histone PTMs are often confounded by the difficulty associated with obtaining large quantities of homogeneously modified proteins. For this reason chemical approaches to obtaining post-translationally modified histones have received considerable attention in recent years. Among the available strategies, the protein ligation approach, expressed protein ligation (EPL), offers the most flexibility in terms of the number and type of PTMs that can be incorporated. To date, EPL has been used to generate phosphorylated, acetylated, and methylated forms of histone H3, acetylated H4, and ubiquitylated H2B. Nonetheless, many modified histones have yet to be accessed using semi-synthesis. A notable case in point is the N-terminal region of H2B, which has been described to possess several PTMs, including (poly)lysine acetylation and serine 14 phosphorylation, which have been implicated in transcription and apoptotic chromatin compaction, respectively. Differentially modified semi-synthetic H2B analogs would be useful to assess the affect of acetylation on both antibody recognition as well as on the efficiency of phosphorylation. In this report, we describe a general semi-synthetic route to H2B that allows the installation of PTMs into an otherwise native polypeptide background.

description: We aimed to characterise the associations between first-trimester diet quality, adiposity, and glucose homeostasis measurements throughout pregnancy in a sample of 104 healthy pregnant women. Three Web-based 24-h recalls were completed, from which the Alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) was calculated. At each trimester (12.5 ± 0.7, 22.8 ± 1.0, and 33.6 ± 1.3 weeks of gestation), fasting glucose and insulin were measured to compute an insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR). Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue thicknesses were estimated by ultrasound at the end of the first trimester. Inverse associations were observed between the first-trimester AHEI and first-trimester fasting insulin (r = 0.24; p < 0.05), and HOMA-IR (r = −0.22; p < 0.05), as well as third-trimester fasting insulin (r = −0.20; p < 0.05). A trend was also observed between first-trimester AHEI and first-trimester SAT thickness (r = −0.17; p < 0.1). Pre- and early-pregnancy adiposity measurements were identified as high predictors fasting insulin concentrations throughout pregnancy. Higher early-pregnancy diet quality is associated with more favourable metabolic measurements during pregnancy.

description: We use surface brightness contour maps of nearby edge-on spiral galaxies to determine whether extended bright radio halos are common. In particular, we test a recent model of the spatial structure of the diffuse radio continuum by Subrahmanyan and Cowsik which posits that a substantial fraction of the observed high-latitude surface brightness originates from an extended Galactic halo of uniform emissivity. Measurements of the axial ratio of emission contours within a sample of normal spiral galaxies at 1500 MHz and below show no evidence for such a bright, extended radio halo. Either the Galaxy is atypical compared to nearby quiescent spirals or the bulk of the observed high-latitude emission does not originate from this type of extended halo.

description: This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effect of a common bean baked snack (CBBS) and cooked bean consumption on energy intake, satiety, glycemic response, and palatability in subjects with normal weight (Study 1) and overweight (Study 2) and to determine the glycemic index of CBBS (Study 3). For studies 1 and 2, satiety and glycemic response were measured over 45 min after consuming CBBS, cooked beans or white bread preload, and energy intake at an ad libitum test meal was calculated. Energy intake remained similar after consuming the three preloads in both studies. Compared to white bread, CBBS consumption increased fullness by 52% in subjects with normal weight but not in those with overweight. The CBBS calculated glycemic index was considered low (42). Consumption of low glycemic index CBBS increased satiety in adults with a normal weight. Long-term trials assessing the effects on body weight management are necessary.

description: The aviation industry has committed itself to a scenario of reduction in emissions over the 3 decades ahead, which is especially challenging to fulfil as air traffic is expected to grow in the same time span. On the technical side, this calls for the development of radical aircraft technologies, such as the hybridization of the powertrain, or the use of different energy carriers (battery, hydrogen), which have been increasingly investigated in recent years. To this day however, it is not clear which technology combination could best address a given set of aircraft requirements, how realisable are such prospective aircraft designs within the time frame considered, nor how would those radical vehicle compare against conventional aircraft on the basis of techno-economic performance metrics. The CHYLA project at providing insights on those points, by providing an overview of scaling opportunities, challenges and limitations of key radical technologies where the credibility of underlying technology assumptions is an explicit factor in developing such a landscape. The presentation presents technical progress made in the project scope on three areas. First on energy network, where the behaviour of individual components of the network are modelled rather than assumed to provide a higher-fidelity design. Then on aircraft design, where a range of radical technology combinations, together with their underlying assumptions, can be tested on aircraft of various top-level requirements. Finally on the concept of “credible aircraft design” and its integration within an optimization framework, in order to find the best-performing vehicle that abides by a certain credibility level.

description: H2B ubiquitylation has been implicated in active transcription but is not well understood in mammalian cells. Beyond earlier identification of hBRE1 as the E3 ligase for H2B ubiquitylation in human cells, we now show (1) that hRAD6 serves as the cognate E2-conjugating enzyme; (2) that hRAD6, through direct interaction with hPAF-bound hBRE1, is recruited to transcribed genes and ubiquitylates chromatinized H2B at lysine 120; (3) that hPAF-mediated transcription is required for efficient H2B ubiquitylation as a result of hPAF-dependent recruitment of hBRE1-hRAD6 to the Pol II transcription machinery; (4) that H2B ubiquitylation per se does not affect the level of hPAF-, SII-, and p300-dependent transcription and likely functions downstream; and (5) that H2B ubiquitylation directly stimulates hSET1-dependent H3K4 di- and trimethylation. These studies establish the natural H2B ubiquitylation factors in human cells and also detail the mechanistic basis for H2B ubiquitylation and function during transcription.

description: We report on the observation of stable electrical oscillation in Pt/VO2 bilayer strips, in which the Pt overlayer serves the dual purposes of heating up the VO2 and weakening the electric field in the VO2 layer. Systematic measurements in an ultrahigh vacuum nanoprobe system show that the oscillation frequency increases with the bias current and/or with decreasing device dimension. In contrast to most VO2-based oscillators reported to date, which are electrically triggered, current-induced Joule heating in the Pt overlayer is found to play a dominant role in the generation of oscillation in Pt/VO2 bilayers. A simple model involving thermally triggered transition of VO2 on a heat sink is able to account for the experimental observations. The results in this work provide an alternative view of the triggering mechanism in VO2-based oscillators.

description: Numerous post-translational modifications of histones have been described in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. Growing evidence for dynamic regulation of these modifications, position- and modification-specific protein interactions, and biochemical crosstalk between modifications has strengthened the 'histone code' hypothesis, in which histone modifications are integral to choreographing the expression of the genome. One such modification, ubiquitylation of histone H2B (uH2B) on lysine 120 (K120) in humans, and lysine 123 in yeast, has been correlated with enhanced methylation of lysine 79 (K79) of histone H3 (refs 5-8), by K79-specific methyltransferase Dot1 (KMT4). However, the specific function of uH2B in this crosstalk pathway is not understood. Here we demonstrate, using chemically ubiquitylated H2B, a direct stimulation of hDot1L-mediated intranucleosomal methylation of H3 K79. Two traceless orthogonal expressed protein ligation (EPL) reactions were used to ubiquitylate H2B site-specifically. This strategy, using a photolytic ligation auxiliary and a desulphurization reaction, should be generally applicable to the chemical ubiquitylation of other proteins. Reconstitution of our uH2B into chemically defined nucleosomes, followed by biochemical analysis, revealed that uH2B directly activates methylation of H3 K79 by hDot1L. This effect is mediated through the catalytic domain of hDot1L, most likely through allosteric mechanisms. Furthermore, asymmetric incorporation of uH2B into dinucleosomes showed that the enhancement of methylation was limited to nucleosomes bearing uH2B. This work demonstrates a direct biochemical crosstalk between two modifications on separate histone proteins within a nucleosome.

description: We investigated the effects of (poly)phenol-rich sugarcane extract (PRSE), sugarcane fibre (SCFiber), and the combination of them (PRSE + SCFiber) on the gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) production using in vitro digestion and pig faecal fermentation. Measuring total phenolic content and antioxidant activity through the in vitro digestion stages showed that PRSE + SCFiber increased the delivery of (poly)phenols to the in vitro colonic fermentation stage compared to PRSE alone. The PRSE + SCFiber modulated the faecal microbiota profile by enhancing the relative abundances of Prevotella, Lactobacillus, and Blautia, and reducing the relative abundance of Streptococcus. PRSE + SCFiber also mitigated the inhibitory effects of PRSE on SCFA production. These results suggest that the inclusion of sugarcane fibre with PRSE could increase the availability of phenolic compounds in the colon and modulate the gut microbiota towards a more favourable profile.

description: Developing strong language and communication skills in the first years of life provides young children with a foundation for a number of positive outcomes, including school readiness, early literacy skills, and self-regulation. High quality language supports in early childhood education programs are key to this development. Part of providing these high-quality language supports involves educators perceiving themselves as efficacious in their capability to support young children’s language development. Using mixed methods, this study examines the extent to which there are changes in educators’ language-focused self-efficacy after participating in professional development program focused on promoting infant/toddler language development. We examine the changes across two groups: (1) educators who participated in a workshop focused on infant/toddler language development and (2) educators who participated in the same workshop plus one-on-one practice-based coaching. Results suggest that participation in the workshop plus coaching compared to the workshop alone was related to greater growth in self-efficacy in language modeling and instructional practices. In follow-up interviews, coached educators reported on their perceptions of impact of the program on their practices and interactions with children. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

title: Complete end-to-end simulations of antiproton transport, degradation and early trapping
Creators: name: Padden, Steven
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: One of the biggest questions in physics remains what happened to the antimatter produced in the early stages of the universe. Experimental setups at CERN capture and study antimatter, created via the interaction of a high energy beam with a static target, to investigate its properties. Antimatter is difficult to both produce and store, as such antimatter experiments at CERN rely on electrostatic transport lines to provide low energy antiprotons from a decelerator known as ELENA, which allows the storage of antiprotons within the ring at a record low energy of 100 keV. 100 keV, however, remains too high for trapping meaning degrader foils are routinely used to bring the energy of antiprotons down even further, but at a destructive cost to the beam. Following the degrader foil, experiments frequently use Penning-Malmberg catching traps to confine antiprotons, allowing for further manipulation and study. This work focuses on improving antiproton numbers stored within a catching trap. Initial simulations are made of the electrostatic transfer lines which carry antiprotons to various experiments within the AD-ELENA low energy antiproton hall. Following the transfer lines, an in depth study of the degrader foils is undertaken, using a combination of traditional simulation methods, and a newer approach using both density functional theory and molecular dynamics. Finally, simulations are made of a catching trapping in the presence of well modelled degrader foils and transfer lines, in order to present a full end-to-end simulation of antiproton transport following deceleration from ELENA until experimental trapping. This work represents the most complete simulation of end-to-end antiproton transport and capture found anywhere within the literature available.

The Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC (STAR) detector has taken data at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $ 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27, and 39 GeV in Au+Au collisions in the years 2010 and 2011 as part of the BES programme. For these beam energies, we present the results on the particle yields, average transverse mass and particle ratios for identified particles in mid-rapidity ($|y|$ < 0.1). The measured particle ratios have been used to study the chemical freeze-out dynamics within the framework of a statistical model.

description: Neighborhood deprivation plays an important role in childhood health and development, but defining the appropriate neighborhood definition presents theoretical as well as practical challenges. Few studies have compared neighborhood definitions out-side of highly urbanized settings. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate how various administrative and ego-centric neighborhood definitions may impact measured exposure to deprivation across the urban-rural continuum. We do so using the Family Life Project, a prospective longitudinal population-based sample of families living in North Carolina and Pennsylvania (USA), which also sets the stage for future investigations of neighborhood impacts on childhood health and development. To measure neighborhood deprivation, a standardized index of socioeconomic deprivation was calculated using data from the 2007-2011 American Community Survey. Families’ residential addresses when children were 2 months of age (n=1036) were geocoded and overlaid onto a deprivation index layer created at the census block group level to construct multiple administrative and ego-centric neighborhood definitions. Friedman tests were used to compare distributions of neighborhood deprivation across these neighborhood definitions within urbanized areas, urban clusters, and rural areas. Results indicated differences in urbanized areas (Chi-square=897.75, P<0.001) and urban clusters (Chi-square=687.83, P<0.001), but not in rural areas (Chi-square=13.52, P=0.332). Findings imply that in urban areas, choice of neighborhood definition impacts measured exposure to neighborhood deprivation. Although exposure to neighborhood deprivation appears to be less sensitive to neighborhood definition in rural areas, researchers should apply theoretical reasoning to choose appropriate definitions of children’s neighborhood.

description: When and how galaxy morphology such as disk and bulge seen in the present-day universe emerged is still not clear. In the universe at $z\gtrsim 2$, galaxies with various morphology are seen, and star-forming galaxies at $z\sim2$ show an intrinsic shape of bar-like structure. Then, when did round disk structure form? Here we take a simple and straightforward approach to see the epoch when a round disk galaxy population emerged by constraining the intrinsic shape statistically based on apparent axial ratio distribution of galaxies. We derived the distributions of the apparent axial ratios in the rest-frame optical light ($\sim 5000$ Å) of star-forming main sequence galaxies at $2.5>z>1.4$, $1.4>z>0.85$, and $0.85>z>0.5$, and found that the apparent axial ratios of them show peaky distributions at $z\gtrsim0.85$, while a rather flat distribution at the lower redshift. By using a tri-axial model ($A>B>C$) for the intrinsic shape, we found the best-fit models give the peaks of the $B/A$ distribution of $0.81\pm0.04$, $0.84\pm0.04$, and $0.92\pm0.05$ at $2.5>z>1.4$, $1.4>z>0.85$, and $0.85>z>0.5$, respectively. The last value is close to the local value of 0.95. Thickness ($C/A$) is $\sim0.25$ at all the redshifts and is close to the local value (0.21). The results indicate the shape of the star-forming galaxies in the main sequence changes gradually, and the round disk is established at around $z\sim0.9$. Establishment of the round disk may be due to a cease of violent interaction of galaxies or a growth of a bulge and/or a super-massive black hole resides at the center of a galaxy which dissolves the bar structure.

description: Applied researchers using kernel density estimation have worked with optimal bandwidth rules that invariably assumed that the reference density is Normal (optimal only if the true underlying density is Normal). We offer four new optimal bandwidth rules-of-thumb based on other infinitely supported distributions: Logistic, Laplace, Student's t and Asymmetric Laplace. Additionally, we propose a psuedo rule-of-thumb (ROT) bandwidth based on a Gram-Charlier expansion of the unknown reference density that is linked to the empirical skewness and kurtosis of the data. The intellectual investment needed to implement these new optimal bandwidths is practically zero. We discuss the behaviour of these bandwidths as it links to differences in skewness and kurtosis to the Normal reference ROT. We further propose model selection criteria for bandwidth choice when the true underlying density is unknown. The performance of these new ROT bandwidths are assessed in a variety of Monte Carlo simulations as well as in two empirical illustrations, the well known data set of annual snowfall in Buffalo, New York, and a timely example on stock market trading.
Generation of photons with all-optically reconfigurable entanglement in integrated nonlinear waveguides

description: We predict that all-optically reconfigurable generation of photon pairs with tailored spatial entanglement can be realized via spontaneous parametric down-conversion in integrated nonlinear coupled waveguides. The required elements of the output quantum wavefunction are directly mapped from the amplitudes and phases of the classical laser pump inputs in each waveguide. This is achieved through special nonuniform domain poling, which locally inverts the sign of quadratic nonlinear susceptibility and accordingly shapes the interference of biphoton quantum states generated along the waveguides. We demonstrate a device configuration for the generation of any linear combination of two-photon Bell states.

Turning strategy

description: At present, path planning algorithm is one of the ability for establishing autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) especially in dynamic condition. In order to obtain optimum path for dynamic condition, turning decision in path planning algorithm has to be constructed. This paper discusses turning decision strategy based on linear and modified Dubins algorithm. The scenario is that path planning is used for intercepting a moving target. The turning decision which is based on linear and modified Dubins algorithm used quadrant position and degree rules as turning strategy. The quadrant position rules are defining the position between the UAV and the obstacle. The degree rules are determining the position between the UAV and a moving target in certain quadrant. The validation test was conducted using Matlab language for simulation and plotting into graph. The scenario of simulation is that a UAV flies to intercept a moving target and avoids random obstacle in cylindrical shape in between. As a result, the turning strategy achieves optimum path which meets kinematic and safety constraints.

description: Disproportionate rates of suspension and expulsion, evident from early childhood, for students of color relative to White peers are a significant racial equity issue in the U.S. education system, with far-reaching effects. In this article, we present a logic model for educator-level interventions that have the potential to reduce disparate discipline practices and ultimately work toward a more equitable school climate. We describe how an integrated approach to supporting all children’s constitutional right to a free public education, which is prevented by exclusionary discipline practices, must purposefully integrate social and emotional learning, classroom management, cultural competence, and racial equity approaches that target educators. Together, the integration of these approaches has the potential to impact initial, intermediate, and long-term education outcomes by enhancing educators’ practices and raising awareness of their internal and interpersonal biases and role in perpetuating institutional racism in education. We conclude with recommendations for how this logic model can be used to guide future research to further our knowledge in this area to support educators in their practice and inform educational policy.

description: The telomeric quadruplex structures formed by the guanine-rich sequences of DNA have emerged as targets for small molecules designed and synthesized to stabilize the G-quadruplexes. This report presents a newly synthesized tyrosine-tethered cyclodextrin derivative and its platinum complex. Their structures are characterized using IR, NMR, and mass spectral techniques. The binding interactions of the platinum complex with CT-DNA and the kit22, myc22, and telo24 G-quadruplexes are investigated employing absorption and fluorescence spectral titrations. The binding constant or KSV values of the interaction with the G-quadruplexes are more significant than those with the duplex DNA by order of 10. It presents the compound as a G-quadruplex-selective binder. Further, the well-known G-quadruplex binding molecule Berberine is encapsulated in the Tyr- β-CD through a host: guest association. The structure of the host: guest complex is investigated employing 2D ROESY spectroscopy. In addition, the study on the binding interaction of the complex to the DNA targets is also carried out. The mode and strength of interaction of the free and the Berberine-loaded Tyr-β-CD to the duplex and the quadruplexes are reported.
