description: The interruption of learning processes by breaks filled with diverse activities is common in everyday life. We investigated the effects of active computer gaming and passive relaxation (rest and music) breaks on working memory performance. Young adults were exposed to breaks involving (i) eyes-open resting, (ii) listening to music and (iii) playing the video game “Angry Birds” before performing the n-back working memory task. Based on linear mixed-effects modeling, we found that playing the “Angry Birds” video game during a short learning break led to a decline in task performance over the course of the task as compared to eyes-open resting and listening to music, although overall task performance was not impaired. This effect was associated with high levels of daily mind wandering and low self-reported ability to concentrate. These findings indicate that video games can negatively affect working memory performance over time when played in between learning tasks. We suggest further investigation of these effects because of their relevance to everyday activity.
Degree conditions of nearly induced matching extendable graphs

description: A graph $G$ is induced matching extendable (shortly, IM-extendable) if every induced matching of $G$ is included in a perfect matching of $G$. The IM-extendable graph was first introduced by Yuan. A graph $G$ is nearly IM-extendable if $G \vee K_1$ is IM-extendable. We show in this paper that: (1) Let $G$ be a graph with $2n-1$ vertices, where $n \geq 2$. If for each pair of nonadjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$, $d(u)+d(v) \geq 2 \lceil {{4n}/{3}}\rceil-3$, then $G$ is nearly IM-extendable. (2) Let $G$ be a claw-free graph with $2n-1$ vertices, where $n \geq 2$. If for each pair of nonadjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$, $d(u)+d(v) \geq 2n-1$, then $G$ is nearly IM-extendable. Minimum degree conditions of nearly IM-extendable graphs and nearly IM-extendable claw-free graphs are also obtained in this paper. It is also shown that all these results are best possible.

description: We report a series of CBP-derivatives with superior thermal and electronic properties for the use as host materials for blue electrophosphorescent organic light emitting diodes. We applied a systematic variation of the substitution pattern in the 2- and 2′-position of the biphenyl unit and the 3- and 6-position of the carbazole moieties. In contrast to the crystalline parent compound CBP, all methyl and trifluoromethyl substituted derivatives show amorphous behaviour. Substitution in the 2- and 2′-position of the biphenyl causes a twisting of the phenyl rings. Hence, the degree of conjugation of the molecules is limited which leads to enlarged triplet energies of approximately 2.95 eV compared to 2.58 eV for CBP. The methyl substitution at the active 3- and 6-position of the pendant carbazole units yields materials with an electrochemically stable behaviour against oxidation.
New cyclic Kautz digraphs with optimal diameter

Publisher: name: Contributions to Discrete Mathematics
Year: 2021

description: We obtain a new family of digraphs with minimal diameter, that is, given the number of vertices and out-degree, there is no other digraph with a smaller diameter. This new family of digraphs are called `modified cyclic digraphs' $MCK(d,\ell)$, and it is derived from the Kautz digraphs $K(d,\ell)$ and from the so-called cyclic Kautz digraphs $CK(d,\ell)$. The cyclic Kautz digraphs $CK(d,\ell)$ were defined as the digraphs whose vertices are labeled by all possible sequences $a_1\ldots a_\ell$ of length $\ell$, such that each character $a_i$ is chosen from an alphabet of $d+1$ distinct symbols, where the consecutive characters in the sequence are different (as in Kautz digraphs), and also requiring that $a_1\neq a_\ell$. Their arcs are between vertices $a_1 a_2\ldots a_\ell$ and $a_2 \ldots a_\ell a_{\ell+1}$, with $a_1\neq a_\ell$ and $a_2\neq a_{\ell+1}$. Since $CK(d,\ell)$ do not have minimal diameter for their number of vertices, we construct the modified cyclic Kautz digraphs to obtain the same diameter as in the Kautz digraphs, and we also show that $MCK(d,\ell)$ are $d$-out-regular. Moreover, for $t\geq1$, we compute the number of vertices of the iterated line digraphs $L^t(CK(d,\ell))$.

Year: 2021

description: An edge subset $S$ of a connected graph $G$ is called an anti-Kekul\'{e} set if $G-S$ is connected and has no perfect matching. We can see that a connected graph $G$ has no anti-Kekul\'{e} set if and only if each spanning tree of $G$ has a perfect matching. In this note, we characterize all graphs where each spanning tree has a perfect matching. In addition, we show that if $G$ is a connected graph of order $2n$ for a positive integer $n\geq 4$ and size $m$ whose each spanning tree has a perfect matching, then $m\leq (n+1)n/2$, with equality if and only if $G\cong K_n\circ K_1$.

description: During annual spring migration in Western Europe many amphibians are killed by traffic when they cross roads moving to reproduction sites. Especially in urban settings these roads are often equipped with street lighting. The response of amphibians to this light during migration is however poorly known. Street lighting may attract migrating amphibians increasing the risk of being struck by traffic. Using experimental illumination we tested whether light affected the migration and if adjustment of the spectral composition could mitigate effects. Barriers used to catch toads and help them cross roads safely were divided in 25 meter long sections and these were illuminated with white, green or red light or kept dark. The number of toads caught in each section was counted. Common toads avoided sections of roads that were illuminated with white or green light but not red light. Street light thus affects migrating toads but not as expected and red light with low levels of short wavelength can be used to mitigate effects.

description: Manipulative communication, including disinformation, propaganda, con artistry, and fraud, is not only being aided by artificial intelligence, automation, and machine learning. It is going to be dominated by such practices in the near future. In this chapter, we will draw on the central concept from our recent book (Gehl & Lawson, 2022), masspersonal social engineering, and show how this form of manipulative communication is and will continue to be automated. Masspersonal social engineering is comprised of distinct stages – trashing, pretexting, and bullshitting. We'll show how those stages are automated, and argue that automation does not necessarily make any stage more effective – rather, automation can intensify each stage, or act as a prosthesis to human communication. We'll conclude by considering how automation can help with the ultimate goal of masspersonal social engineering: penetration, arguing that communication-as-penetration and automation share many assumptions about the role of communication in society.

description: Endophytic fungi from marine seaweeds are the less studied group of organisms with vast medical applications. The aim of the present study was to evaluate antioxidant, antiangiogenic as well as wound healing potential of the endophytic fungus isolated from the seaweed Sargassum wightii. The morphological characters and the rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequence analysis (BLAST search in Gen Bank database) was used for the identification of endophytic fungus. The antioxidant potential of the ethyl acetate extract of endophytic fungus was assessed by, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical scavenging method. The fungal extract was also analysed for reducing power, total phenolic and flavonoid content. Antiangiogenic activity of the fungal extract was studied in vitro by inhibition of wound healing scratch assay and in vivo by Chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. The endophytic fungus was identified as Cladosporium cladosporioides (Gen Bank ID – KT384175). The ethyl acetate extract of C. cladosporioides showed a significant antioxidant and angiosuppressive activity. The ESI-LC-MS analysis of the extract revealed the presence of wide range of secondary metabolites. Results suggest that C. cladosporioides extract could be exploited as a potential source for angiogenic modulators.

description: We present a 1:100,000 scale soil texture map of Paragominas county (Pará, Brazil), covering 19,330 km2. The method allows rapid production of a soil texture map of a large area where the strength of a duricrust controls the relief. It is based on an easily accessible explanatory variable, topography, which is represented using a Digital Elevation Model. The method makes it possible to map the spatial distribution of the texture of the topsoil layer. Modelling was complemented by field observations to identify the laws governing the spatial organisation of soil textures. The spatial variability of the elevation above sea-level of the duricrust was obtained by Kriging. The error rate of the resulting map is 26%, and the observations of the four soil texture units were respectively 78%, 90%, 41% and 60% accurately located.

description: The actinomycete DEM20745, collected from non-rhizosphere soil adjacent to Paraserianthes falactaria trees (Cangkringan, Indonesia), is an efficient producer of the anticancer ansamycin polyketide 17-O-demethyl-geldanamycin (17-O-DMG), a biosynthetic precursor of the Hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin (GDM). In DEM20745, 17-O-DMG is the major ansamycin product observed reaching a maximum titre of 17 mg/L in the fermentation broth. 17-O-DMG has the potential to be a key starting material for the semi-synthesis of GDM analogues for use in anticancer therapy. Thus, this preferential biosynthesis of 17-O-DMG facilitates easy access to this important molecule and provides further insight in the biosynthesis of the geldanamycins.

The present work describes the phytochemical study, isolation, and structural characterisation of friedelin, β-friedelinol, lupeol, pseudotaraxasterol, β-sitosterol, betulinic acid, taraxasterol, (−)-epicatechin, β-sitosterol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, and (+)-epicatechin-(4β→8)-epicatechin from stem barks of Luehea ochrophylla Mart. The structural identification of the isolated compounds was mainly performed by NMR analyses and comparison with the data from literature. These compounds were isolated for the first time in the genus Luehea, except β-sitosterol glucopyranoside, (−)-epicatechin, and lupeol. Hexane extract (HE) and dichloromethane (DF) and ethyl acetate (AF) fractions exhibited antiparasitic activity against amastigote (intracellular) and trypomastigote culture forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. The ethanol extract (EE), DF, and ethanol fraction (EF) exhibited considerable antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Moreover, extracts and fractions exhibited significant percentage of capture free radicals of 2,2-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) when compared to the standard of ascorbic acid.

description: The presence of supraglacial debris on glaciers in the Himalaya-Karakoram affects the ablation rate of these glaciers and their response to climatic change. To understand how supraglacial debris distribution and associated surface features vary spatially and temporally, geomorphological mapping was undertaken on Baltoro Glacier, Karakoram, for three time-separated images between 2001–2012. Debris is supplied to the glacier system through frequent but small landslides at the glacier margin that form lateral and medial moraines and less frequent but higher volume rockfall events which are more lobate and often discontinuous in form. Debris on the glacier surface is identified as a series of distinct lithological units which merge downglacier of the convergence area between the Godwin-Austen and Baltoro South tributary glaciers. Debris distribution varies as a result of complex interaction between tributary glaciers and the main glacier tongue, complicated further by surge events on some tributary glaciers. Glacier flow dynamics mainly controls the evolution of a supraglacial debris layer. Identifying such spatial variability in debris rock type and temporal variability in debris distribution has implications for glacier ablation rate, affecting glacier surface energy balance. Accordingly, spatial and temporal variation in supraglacial debris should be considered when determining mass balance for these glaciers through time.
Siblings of an ℵ0-categorical relational structure

description: A sibling of a relational structure $R$ is any structure $S$ which can be embedded into $R$ and, vice versa, such that $R$ can be embedded into $S$. Let $\operatorname{sib}(R)$ be the number of siblings of $R$, these siblings being counted up to isomorphism. Thomassé conjectured that for countable relational structures made of at most countably many relations, $\operatorname{sib}(R)$ is either one, countably infinite, or the size of the continuum; but even showing the special case $\operatorname{sib}(R)1$ is one or infinite is unsettled when $R$ is a countable tree. We prove that if $R$ is countable and $\aleph_{0}$-categorical, then indeed $\operatorname{sib}(R)$ is one or infinite. Furthermore, $\operatorname{sib}(R)$ is one if and only if $R$ is finitely partitionable in the sense of Hodkinson and Macpherson [14]. The key tools in our proof are the notion of monomorphic decomposition of a relational structure introduced in [35] and studied further in [23], [24], and a result of Frasnay [11].

description: We give Ramsey expansions of classes of generalised metric spaces where distances come from a linearly ordered commutative monoid. This complements results of Conant about the extension property for partial automorphisms and extends an earlier result of the first and the last author giving the Ramsey property of convexly ordered $S$-metric spaces. Unlike Conant's approach, our analysis does not require the monoid to be semiarchimedean.

description: Compartmentalization is a functionally important property of the plasma membrane, yet the underlying principles that organize membrane proteins into distinct domains are not well understood. Using single molecule localization microscopy, we assessed the clustering of five model membrane proteins in the plasma membrane of HeLa cells. All five proteins formed discrete and distinct nano-scaled clusters. The extent of clustering of the five proteins, independent of their membrane anchors, increased significantly when the fluorescent protein mEOS2 was employed, suggesting that protein–protein interactions are a key driver for clustering. Further, actin depolymerization or reduction of membrane order had a greater, and in some instances opposing effects on the clustering of membrane proteins fused to mEOS2 compared to PS-CFP2-fusion proteins. The data propose that protein interactions can override the lateral organization imposed by membrane anchors to provide an exquisite regulation of the mosaic-like compartmentalization of the plasma membrane.

description: In order to elucidate how phosphatidylserine (PS6) interacts with AQP5 in a cell membrane, we developed a hybrid steered molecular dynamics (hSMD) method that involved: (1) Simultaneously steering two centers of mass of two selected segments of the ligand, and (2) equilibrating the ligand-protein complex with and without biasing the system. Validating hSMD, we first studied vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1) in complex with N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-((pyridin-4-ylmethyl)amino)benzamide (8ST), for which the binding energy is known from in vitro experiments. In this study, our computed binding energy well agreed with the experimental value. Knowing the accuracy of this hSMD method, we applied it to the AQP5-lipid-bilayer system to answer an outstanding question relevant to AQP5’s physiological function: Will the PS6, a lipid having a single long hydrocarbon tail that was found in the central pore of the AQP5 tetramer crystal, actually bind to and inhibit AQP5’s central pore under near-physiological conditions, namely, when AQP5 tetramer is embedded in a lipid bilayer? We found, in silico, using the CHARMM 36 force field, that binding PS6 to AQP5 was a factor of 3 million weaker than “binding” it in the lipid bilayer. This suggests that AQP5’s central pore will not be inhibited by PS6 or a similar lipid in a physiological environment.

Discursive Incarceration: Black Fragility in a Divided Public Sphere
Creators: name: Steele, H. Meili
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons

description: Abstract: The expression of fragility has always been a difficult and complex matter for African Americans, for the discourse of mainstream media is set up to sustain their fragility while at the same time misrecognizing it. Even though the black public sphere split off from the dominant public sphere after the Civil War to enable distinctive forms of expression, the “practiced habits” of which Coates speaks continued in the structures of the dominant discourse. My essay will analyze the structure of America’s indifference to fragility in six parts. In the first section, I will introduce a normative problematic that can track how the hegemonic public sphere uses the rhetoric of formal equality to subordinate and silence African Americans speech while it also opens a space for black speech to be heard rather than dismissed. Sections two and three examine the historical separation of the black public sphere from the dominant public sphere, tracing the silencing structures that haunt us today back to the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision of 1954, for this “progressive” decision provided a template for what can be said and cannot be said.  The fourth section analyzes how Ralph Ellison thematizes and revises the encounter between the black and dominant public spheres.  Sections five and six discus the ways that Ta-Nehisi Coates exposes the contemporary forms of these discursive structures that undermine progress toward equality and the resistance to such exposure in the media.

description: Compartmentalization is a functionally important property of the plasma membrane, yet the underlying principles that organize membrane proteins into distinct domains are not well understood. Using single molecule localization microscopy, we assessed the clustering of five model membrane proteins in the plasma membrane of HeLa cells. All five proteins formed discrete and distinct nano-scaled clusters. The extent of clustering of the five proteins, independent of their membrane anchors, increased significantly when the fluorescent protein mEOS2 was employed, suggesting that protein–protein interactions are a key driver for clustering. Further, actin depolymerization or reduction of membrane order had a greater, and in some instances opposing effects on the clustering of membrane proteins fused to mEOS2 compared to PS-CFP2-fusion proteins. The data propose that protein interactions can override the lateral organization imposed by membrane anchors to provide an exquisite regulation of the mosaic-like compartmentalization of the plasma membrane.

description: In this study the anticancer activity of paclitaxel-loaded nano-liposomes on glioma cell lines was investigated. Soya phosphatidylcholine:cholesterol (SPC:Chol), hydrogenated soya phosphatidylcholine:cholesterol (HSPC:Chol) or dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine:cholesterol (DPPC:Chol) in 1:1 mole ratio were used to prepare ethanol-based proliposomes. Following hydration of proliposomes, the size of resulting vesicles was subsequently reduced to nanometer scale via probe-sonication. The resulting formulations were characterized in terms of size, zeta potential and morphology of the vesicles, and entrapment efficiency of paclitaxel (PX) as well as the final pH of the preparations. DPPC-liposomes entrapped 35–92% of PX compared to 27–74% and 25–60% entrapped by liposomes made from SPC and HSPC formulations respectively, depending on drug concentration. The entrapment efficiency of liposomes was dependent on the lipid bilayer properties and ability of PX to modify surface charge of the vesicles. In vitro cytotoxicity studies revealed that PX-liposome formulations were more selective at inhibiting the malignant cells. The cytotoxicity of PX-liposomes was dependent on their drug-entrapment efficiency. This study has shown PX-liposomes generated from proliposomes have selective activity against glioma cell lines, and the synthetic DPPC phospholipid was most suitable for maximized drug entrapment and highest activity against the malignant cells in vitro.

description: The Perceived Awareness of the Research Hypothesis (PARH) scale is a 4-item quantitative self-report method for measuring the potential influence of demand characteristics in research situations. It can be used to help to refute the idea that observed effects are due to demand characteristics. The present article describes the PARH scale and discusses its advantages over other postexperimental feedback measures. Different approaches to analysing PARH data are considered. Finally, a survey of published research that has used the PARH scale shows that it has good internal reliability, and that it tends to show that research participants are not particularly aware of research hypotheses.
