description: A novel fluorinated benzoxazine was prepared from bisphenol-AF, aniline and paraformaldehyde and was characterized by 1H NMR, 19F NMR and FTIR. A benzoxazine-functionalized silane-coupling agent was synthesized using renewable resource cardanol, paraformaldehyde and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). Cardanol benzoxazine-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-C-aps)-reinforced fluorinated benzoxazine (BAF-a) hybrid composites poly(GO-BAF-a) have been developed through the facile one step copolymerization route. XRD and SEM analyses were used to ascertain the morphology of the composite materials developed. Data obtained from thermal, dielectric and surface studies infer that the hybrid cardanol-based benzoxazine composites possess the enhanced thermal stability, improved hydrophobic behaviour with lower value of dielectric constant according to the weight percentage concentration of functionalized graphene oxide than those of neat benzoxazine matrix. The hybrid cardanol benzoxazine composites developed in the present work can find application in the form of coatings, sealants and adhesives for interlayer low k dielectric insulation applications in microelectronics industries.

description: Herein, we report the preparation and characterization of hybrid polysulfone/wood flour/nanoclay (PSWF/nanoclay) nanocomposite films prepared by solution casting at room temperature and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, X-ray diffractometry, and TGA. Long-term water-absorption and diffusion properties were determined by immersing the composites in water at room temperature for several weeks. Water absorption decreased with increasing nanoclay loading, while superior mechanical properties were observed with the addition of nanoclay particles. Furthermore, the ability of the PSFW/phosphonium-salt-modified-bentonite (PSFWBP) nanocomposite to adsorb methylene blue (MB) from water was studied in detail; more MB was adsorbed at higher pH, longer contact times, and higher PSFWBP loadings; however, higher temperatures detrimentally affected adsorption. Adsorption obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetics, with ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG determined to be −36.3 ± 0.5 kJ mol−1, −114.3 ± 0.72 J mol−1 K−1, and −2.81 ± 0.08 kJ mol−1 (at 293 K), respectively. PSFWBP efficiently removed MB from various real samples.

description: Theories of fundamental interactions with large extra dimensions have recently become very popular. Astrophysical bounds from the Sun, red-giants and SN1987a have already been derived by other authors for the theory proposed by Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali. In this paper we consider G117-B15A pulsating white dwarf (ZZ Ceti star) for which the secular rate at which the period of its fundamental mode increases has been accurately measured and claimed that this mode of G117-B15A is perhaps the most stable oscillation ever recorded in the optical band. Because an additional channel of energy loss (Kaluza-Klein gravitons) would speed up the cooling rate, one is able to use the aforementioned stability to derive a bound on theories with large extra dimensions. Within the framework of the theory with large extra dimensions proposed by Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali we find the lower bound on string comapctification scale which is more stringent than solar or red-giant bounds.

description: Amphiphilic molecules such as surfactants, lipids and block copolymers can be assembled into bilayers and form vesicles. Fluorescent membrane labeling methods require the use of dye molecules that can be inserted in the bilayers at different stages of the synthesis. To our knowledge there is no generalized method for labeling preformed vesicles. Herein we develop a versatile protocol that is suitable to both surfactant and lipid preformed vesicles and requires no separation or purification steps. Based on the lipophilic carbocyanine green dye PKH67, the methodology is assessed on zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine vesicles. To demonstrate its versatility, it is applied to dispersions of anionic or cationic vesicles, such as a drug administrated to premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome, or a vesicle formulation used as a fabric softener for homecare applications. By means of fluorescence microscopy we then visualize the interaction mechanisms of nanoparticles crossing live cell membranes and of surfactant adsorbing on cotton fabric. These results highlight the advantages of a membrane labeling technique that is simple and applicable to a large number of soft matter systems.

 Type material. Lectotype (present study).
 Material examined. Lectotype, adult female (NHM 1924.5.30.20), Cap Blanc, Mauritania, Africa, coll. Dr. Th. Monod, May 30, 1920. MNHN–Ta96212 (2 slides).
 Diagnosis (adult female and male). Rostrum rounded. Pleotelson tapering posteriorly to rounded tip with the posterior margin with row of simple setae and lacking two long terminal plumose setae. Antennule first peduncle article lacking ventral spiniform setae; accessory flagellum of two articles. Male cheliped fixed finger cutting edge with large rounded tooth. Cheliped and pereopod 1 exopodite with three plumose setae. Pereopod 1 propodus with nine–10 ventral spiniform setae. Pereopods 2 and 3 propodus with very stout pectinate spiniform seta subdistally on inner surface; dactylus with digitiform lobe bearing more than five aesthetascs. Pereopod 5 propodus with short terminal bipinnate setae. Pereopod 6 propodus with several long simple setae on outer surface. Female pereopod 6 dactylus with several subterminal setae. Uropod basal article approximately 2.7 times as long as broad, with several simple setae on the outer margin and short spiniform seta on the inner distal corner.
 Type Locality. Mauritania, NW Africa, Eastern Atlantic, littoral (Fig. 1, number 19).
 Geographic distribution. Known from type locality only.
 Remarks. Unfortunately the type material that is mounted on slides is in very bad condition. The following features could be distinguished: 1) inner flagellum of antennule with 2 articles, 2) first peduncle article of antennule densely setose, 3) pereopod 1 exopodite with three plumose setae, and 4) pereopod 1 propodus with nine–10 ventral spiniform setae. All that was left of the cotype (= syntype) to examine was the body (carapace missing), one pereopod 3, one pereopod 5, and one pereopod 6 (Fig. 52). Unfortunately Monod (1923) did not illustrate pereonites 5–6 or pereopods 4–5 but the cotype we examined is very similar to his original description (i.e, 10 ventral spiniform setae on pereopod 1 propodus, etc.). The cotype was designated as the lectotype.

description: Prior literature has analyzed determinants of housing appreciation rates at the regional level, including several studies on inter-regional differences. Generally, these previous studies have identified income, population shifts, and other demographic changes as the most im-portant factors in explaining regional price appreciation for single-family residential proper-ties. Existing literature has not considered the impact that regional industry concentration might have on regional housing appreciation. This study uses a Federal Housing Finance Ad-ministration price index, along with demographic and industry concentration data collected from the U.S. Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to investigate whether a more or less highly concentrated industry base, as measured by a Herfindahl index, contributes to regional housing market performance. The questions of housing market impacts related to increasing concentration for a reasonably diversified metropolitan statistical area and impacts related to increasing diversification for an already-concentrated area are also examined.

Publisher: name: IOP Publishing
Year: 2024

description: We study the earthquake model by Olami, Feder and Christensen in one dimension. While the size distribution of earthquakes resembles a power law for systems with small sizes, it splits for systems with large sizes into two parts, one comprising small avalanches and showing a size-independent cutoff, and the other comprising avalanches of the order of the system size. We identify four different types of attractors of the dynamics of the system, which already exist for very small systems. For larger system sizes, these attractors contain large synchronized regions.

description: Abstract: We study the twisted indices of N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions on spatial S2 with an angular momentum refinement. We demonstrate factorisation of the index into holomorphic blocks for the T[SU(N)] theory in the presence of generic fluxes and fugacities. We also investigate the relation between the twisted index, Hilbert series and the moduli space of vortices. In particular, we show that each holomorphic block coincides with a generating function for the χt genera of the moduli spaces of “local” vortices. The twisted index itself coincides with a corresponding generating function for the χt genera of moduli spaces of “global” vortices in agreement with a proposal of Bullimore et al. We generalise this geometric interpretation of the twisted index to include fluxes and Chern-Simons levels. For the T[SU(N)] theory, the relevant moduli spaces are the local and global versions of Laumon space respectively and we demonstrate the proposed agreements explicitly using results from the mathematical literature. Finally, we exhibit a precise relation between the Coulomb branch Hilbert series and the Poincaré polynomials of the corresponding vortex moduli spaces.

description: School district and municipal borders do not always align. Noncongruent borders can create a fiscal commons problem where new development does not entirely “pay its way.” In response, frustrated citizens often respond by voting for lower school spending. Using GIS data on Ohio school districts, the degree of noncongruence between school district and munic-ipal territory is calculated. The results indicate that school districts with noncongruent borders generate less revenue from local sources and that these effects seem to increase with the degree of noncongruence. The findings are robust between OLS and treatment effects regression.

description: The purpose of this paper is to address the efficiency of turning over homes that have gone into foreclosure. For the town of Muskego, Wisconsin, the number of homes going to foreclosure has decreased from the pinnacle of the housing crisis. Furthermore, the likelihood of a house going to sheriff sale after being foreclosed upon has gradually decreased from this point in time as well. This paper employs a probit model to determine the likelihood that a foreclosed home will go to sheriff sale compared to the reference years (2001-2004). From the initial stages of the housing crisis, homes in foreclosure were more likely to go to sheriff sale compared to the reference years, but this effect diminishes over time. Furthermore, a hazard model is implemented which confirms the results of the probit from a duration perspective.

Flux compactifications

description: Abstract: Achieving full moduli stabilisation in type IIB string compactifications for generic Calabi-Yau threefolds with hundreds of Kähler moduli is notoriously hard. This is due not just to the very fast increase of the computational complexity with the number of moduli, but also to the fact that the scalar potential depends in general on the supergravity variables only implicitly. In fact, the supergravity chiral coordinates are 4- cycle volume moduli but the Kähler potential is an explicit function of the 2-cycle moduli and inverting between these two variables is in general impossible. In this paper we pro- pose a general method to fix all type IIB Kähler moduli in a systematic way by working directly in terms of 2-cycle moduli: on one side we present a ‘master formula’ for the scalar potential which can depend on an arbitrary number of Kähler moduli, while on the other we perform a computer-based search for critical points, introducing a hybrid Genetic/Clustering/Amoeba algorithm and other computational techniques. This allows us to reproduce several known minima, but also to discover new examples of both KKLT and LVS models, together with novel classes of LVS minima without diagonal del Pezzo divisors and hybrid vacua which share some features with KKLT and other with LVS solutions.

description: Ultraluminous galaxies in the local universe (z$\leq$0.2) emit the bulk of their energy in the mid and far-infrared. The multiwavelength approach to these objects has shown that they are advanced mergers of gas-rich spiral galaxies. Galaxy-galaxy collisions took place on all cosmological time-scales, and nearby mergers serve as local analogs to gain insight into the physical processes that lead to the formation and trans-formation of galaxies in the more distant universe. Here I review multiwavelength observations --with particular emphasis on recent results obtained with ISO-- of mergers of massive galaxies driving the formation of: 1) luminous infrared galaxies, 2) elliptical galaxy cores, 3) luminous dust-enshrouded extranuclear starbursts, 4) symbiotic galaxies that host AGNs, and 5) tidal dwarf galaxies. The most important implication for studies on the formation of galaxies at early cosmological timescales is that the distant analogs to the local ultraluminous infrared galaxies are invisible in the ultraviolet and optical wavelength rest-frames and should be detected as sub-millimeter sources with no optical counterparts.

description: In the present work, an ether-linked bisphenol-A diamine and cardanol-based benzoxazine was synthesized and its molecular structure was confirmed by FTIR and NMR. The benzoxazine-functionalized reduced graphene oxide hybrid material was prepared by solution blending technique and was incorporated into epoxy resin in varying (5%, 10% and 15%) weight percentages. The composites obtained were characterized by different analytical methods. Data obtained from mechanical studies inferred that there was a significant improvement in the values of tensile, flexural and impact strengths according to weight percentage incorporation of benzoxazine-functionalized graphene reinforcement. The values of dielectric constant are also enhanced according the weight percentage of reinforcement. Morphological properties of hybrid nanocomposites were analysed by SEM and XRD and the data obtained indicate that there was a uniform dispersion of reduced graphene oxide into the benzoxazine-epoxy matrix system, which was evidently well supported by the enhancement in the values of dielectric constant and mechanical properties. Among the different weight percentages of compositions used as reinforcement, 15 wt% C-bpda-rGo reinforced benzoxazine-epoxy composites possess better properties when compared with those of neat epoxy matrix and other weight percentages of hybrid nanocomposites. Data resulted from different studies infer that the hybrid composites developed in the present work possess an improved thermal, mechanical and dielectric properties suitable for high performance microelectronics applications.

description: Type-I X-ray bursts are recurring thermonuclear explosions on the surface of accreting neutron stars. Matching observed bursts to computational models can help to constrain system properties, such as the neutron star mass and radius, crustal heating rates, and the accreted fuel composition, but systematic parameter studies to date have been limited. We apply Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to 1D burst models for the first time, and obtain system parameter estimations for the `Clocked Burster', GS 1826$-$238, by fitting multiple observed epochs simultaneously. We explore multiple parameters which are often held constant, including the neutron star mass, crustal heating rate, and hydrogen composition. To improve the computational efficiency, we precompute a grid of 3840 KEPLER models - the largest set of 1D burst simulations to date - and by interpolating over the model grid, we can rapidly sample burst predictions. We obtain estimates for a CNO metallicity of $Z_\mathrm{CNO} = 0.010^{+0.005}_{-0.004}$, a hydrogen fraction of $X_0 = 0.74^{+0.02}_{-0.03}$, a distance of $d \sqrt{ξ_\mathrm{b}} = 6.5^{+0.4}_{-0.6}\, \mathrm{kpc}$, and a system inclination of $i = {69^{+2}_{-3}}^{\circ}$.

description: With the advent of deep generative models in computational chemistry, in silico anticancer drug design has undergone an unprecedented transformation. While state-of-the-art deep learning approaches have shown potential in generating compounds with desired chemical properties, they disregard the genetic profile and properties of the target disease. Here, we introduce the first generative model capable of tailoring anticancer compounds for a specific biomolecular profile. Using a RL framework, the transcriptomic profiles of cancer cells are used as a context for the generation of candidate molecules. Our molecule generator combines two separately pretrained variational autoencoders (VAEs) - the first VAE encodes transcriptomic profiles into a smooth, latent space which in turn is used to condition a second VAE to generate novel molecular structures on the given transcriptomic profile. The generative process is optimized through PaccMann, a previously developed drug sensitivity prediction model to obtain effective anticancer compounds for the given context (i.e., transcriptomic profile). We demonstrate how the molecule generation can be biased towards compounds with high predicted inhibitory effect against individual cell lines or specific cancer sites. We verify our approach by investigating candidate drugs generated against specific cancer types and find the highest structural similarity to existing compounds with known efficacy against these cancer types. We envision our approach to transform in silico anticancer drug design by leveraging the biomolecular characteristics of the disease in order to increase success rates in lead compound discovery.

Some Observations on Non-covariant Gauges and the epsilon-term
Creators: name: Joglekar, Satish D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the Lagrangian path-integrals in Minkowski space for gauges with a residual gauge-invariance. From rather elementary considerations, we demonstrate the necessity of inclusion of an epsilon-term (even) in the formal treatments, without which one may reach incorrect conclusions. We show, further, that the epsilon-term can contribute to the BRST WT-identities in a nontrivial way (even as epsilon-->0). We also show that the (expectation value of the) correct epsilon-term satisfies an algebraic condition. We show by considering (a commonly used) example of a simple local quadratic epsilon -term, that they lead to additional constraints on Green's function that are not normally taken into account in the BRST formalism that ignores the epsilon-term, and that they are characteristic of the way the singularities in propagators are handled. We argue that for a subclass of these gauges, the Minkowski path-integral could not be obtained by a Wick rotation from a Euclidean path-integral.

description: Foreclosure starts on loans made between 2004 and 2007 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, are examined using a combination of local and Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data, expanding on previous research restricted to a single year’s loans using an alternative meth-odology. Specifically, foreclosed loans are identified from local lis pendens records, and loans are matched with corresponding records in the HMDA database to provide borrower and loan characteristics for further analysis. The research employs limited dependent variable models to assess the effect of loan, demographic, and neighborhood characteristics on the likelihood of foreclosure. Key loan characteristics such as subprime interest rate, loan-to-value ratio, and additional loans at the time of the mortgage were found to have a significant effect on foreclosure starts. Minority borrowers were also found to have a significantly higher probability of foreclosure.

description: The objective of this study is to assess the impact of eminent domain (ED) for private and mixed development on property values in Rochester, New York, within 107 months of policy announcements and construction initiations. This study includes data on 19,707 screened house sales. By using both parametric and semiparametric models, this study con-cludes that the Midtown Plaza (MP) redevelopment project purely for private development generates positive policy externalities on property values across the city. However, homeown-ers lost property value if they lived within a one mile radius of the MP center after the policy announcement. The average citywide housing prices dropped by 8.2% after the MP demolition began, and yet, homeowners living within a one mile radius of the MP neighborhood enjoyed an 8.7% property value gain after the start of the MP demolition. There is no significant cred-ible policy impact from the Brooks Landing (BL) project. This project for mixed development aims for both public and private revitalization. Citywide housing prices dropped by 6.8% after the start of the BL site demolition and homeowners suffered a 1.4% property value loss for each mile closer to the BL site under demolition. The semiparametric model takes spatial het-erogeneities and nonlinearities into consideration; thus, due to the spatial dependence problem within the dataset, it is superior to the parametric model in this study.
Molecular hydrogen at z=1.973 toward Q0013-004: Dust depletion pattern in damped Lyman-alpha systems

description: We study the dust depletion pattern in eight well separated components of the z=1.973, logN(HI)=20.83, damped Lyman-alpha system toward Q0013-004, four of which have detectable H2 absorption. The apparent correlation between the abundance ratios [Fe/S] and [Si/S] in the components indicates that the abundance pattern is indeed due to dust-depletion. In particular, we find evidence for depletion similar to what is observed in cold gas of the Galactic disk ([Fe/Zn]=-1.59, Fe/S=-1.74, Zn/S=-0.15, [Si/S]=-0.85) in one of the weakest components in which molecular hydrogen is detected with logN(H2)=16.5. This is the first time such a large depletion is seen in a DLA system. This observation supports the possibility that current samples of DLA systems might be biased against the presence of cold and dusty gas along the line of sight. The overall metallicities of this peculiar DLA system in which OI and CII are spread over 1050 km/s are [P/H]=-0.64, [Zn/H]=-0.74 and [S/H]=-0.82 relative to solar. The sub-DLA system at z=1.96753 has [P/H]>0.06, [Zn/H]>-0.02 and [S/H]>-0.18. The overall molecular fraction is in the range -2.7

description: We present an observational study of small-scale feedback processes operating in the star-forming region located in the wall of the expanding supershell around the Cyg OB1 association. The interstellar gas and dust content and pre-stellar populations in the vicinity of the open star cluster vdB 130 are analysed based on new optical and IR observations performed with the 6-m (3D spectroscopic mapping in the [SII] doublet) and 2.5-m (optical and NIR images) Russian telescopes along with the archival data of Spitzer and Herschel space telescopes. Analysing ionized gas kinematics and emission spectra, we discovered a compact region with supersonic motions. These motions may be caused either by stellar wind, or a bipolar outflow from a protostellar disc. Young stellar objects were identified and classified in the area under study. Two star-forming regions were identified. One of them is a region of ongoing star formation in the head of the molecular cloud observed there and another one is a burst of star formation in the cloud tail.

Heating of a Quiet Region of the Solar Chromosphere by Ion and Neutral Acoustic Waves

description: Using high-resolution numerical simulations we investigate the plasma heating driven by periodic two-fluid acoustic waves that originate at the bottom of the photosphere and propagate into the gravitationally stratified and partially ionized solar atmosphere. We consider ions+electrons and neutrals as separate fluids that interact between themselves via collision forces. The latter play an important role in the chromosphere, leading to significant damping of short-period waves. Long-period waves do not essentially alter the photospheric temperatures, but they exhibit the capability of depositing a part of their energy in the chromosphere. This results in up about a five times increase of ion temperature that takes place there on a time-scale of a few minutes. The most effective heating corresponds to waveperiods within the range of about 30-200 s with a peak value located at 80 s. However, we conclude that for the amplitude of the driver chosen to be equal to 0.1 km s$^{-1}$, this heating is too low to balance the radiative losses in the chromosphere.
Music and Collaboration: Rapport, Leadership and the Role of the Individual in Collaborative Processes

description: This research investigates the collaborative processes that occur when new creative work is born, with a particular focus on musical collaborations. This thesis is based upon the responses to interviews that were conducted with 25 artists currently engaged in professional collaborative arts practice. Each artist was asked to define collaboration, then to give details of past collaborative experiences. All of the artistsʼ answers and experiences varied, but there were three areas that were of particular interest to all of the participants. These were: the relevance (if any) of rapport within collaborative arts practice, the role of the individual in collaborations, and the place of leadership in collaborations. This thesis shows that many of the artists involved in this study valued some kind of personal rapport within a collaborative project. A number of the artists claimed that it was not possible to separate artistic and personal rapport, and that they only wished to work with artists with whom they had that kind of rapport. But in the absence of a close personal relationship many of the participants in this study valued mutual respect, openness and understanding of personal differences within collaborative processes. Each artist had different experiences of the roles of the individual and of leadership within collaborative projects. This study found that the answers to these questions varied mostly depending on the individual artistʼs role in a particular project, their understanding of that role and their relationship to others in the collaboration. All the artists agreed that it is of utmost importance to be clear of oneʼs role in collaboration in order to function successfully and creatively with other artists. Many of the artists involved in this study also agreed that if a collaborative project is to be led then it should be done so in a non-dictatorial fashion, and that if this is not possible then the project should not be labeled ʻcollaborativeʼ. With this in mind some of the participants in this study amended their definition of collaboration throughout the interview process, as close examination of their experiences sometimes didnʼt match up with their initial thoughts on the subject. The overall results of this thesis are many and varied, and give a detailed insight into current thinking on collaborative processes within music.

description: We investigate the B meson light-cone distribution amplitudes in the heavy-quark limit which are relevant for the QCD factorization approach for the exclusive B meson decays. We derive exact relations between two- and three-particle distribution amplitudes from the QCD equations of motion and heavy-quark symmetry constraint. As solution of these relations, we give representations for the quark-antiquark distribution amplitudes in terms of independent dynamical degrees of freedom. In particular, we find that the Wandzura-Wilczek-type contributions are determined uniquely in analytic form in terms of \barΛ, a fundamental mass parameter of heavy-quark effective theory, and that both leading- and higher-twist distribution amplitudes receive the contributions of multi-particle states with additional gluons.
