description: Cosmological simulations indicate that cold dark matter (CDM) halos should be triaxial. Verifying observationally this theoretical prediction is, however, less than straightforward because the assembly of galaxies is expected to modify the halo shapes and to render them more axisymmetric. We use a suite of N-body simulations to investigate quantitatively the effect of the growth of a central disk galaxy on the shape of triaxial dark matter halos. As expected, the halo responds to the presence of the disk by becoming more spherical. The net effect depends only weakly on the orientation of the disk relative to the halo principal axes or the timescale of disk assembly, but strongly on the overall gravitational importance of the disk. Our results show that exponential disks whose contribution peaks at less than ~50% of their circular velocity are unable to modify noticeably the shape of the gravitational potential of their surrounding halos. Many dwarf and low surface brightness galaxies are expected to be in this regime, and therefore their detailed kinematics could be used to probe halo triaxiality, one of the basic predictions of the CDM paradigm. We argue that the complex disk kinematics of the dwarf galaxy NGC 2976 might be the reflection of a triaxial halo. Such signatures of halo triaxiality should be common in galaxies where the luminous component is subdominant.

description: Abstract Objective: 1) to describe the prevalence of multimorbidity in the ACS population and 2) identify multiple, patient-based factors associated with healthcare utilization post evaluation for ACS in the ED. The sample includes patients presenting to the ED with symptoms that triggered an evaluation for possible ACS. Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is associated with multiple debilitating symptoms, impaired functional status, repeat visits to the emergency department (ED), and frequent healthcare utilization, but inadequate attention has been paid to the relationship between multimorbidity phenotypes (specific combinations of >2 chronic conditions) and healthcare utilization discharge from the hospital. Methods: The first manuscript is a systematic review and the second manuscript is a secondary analysis of data collected from a large multi-site clinical study aimed at characterizing sex differences in symptoms suggestive of ACS. The presence of chronic conditions was obtained from items on the Charlson Comorbidity Index and the ACS Patient Information Questionnaire. Latent class analysis was used to identify multimorbidity classes. Results: Multimorbidity is highly prevalent in the ACS population ranging from 25-95%. Cardiovascular multimorbidity is more prevalent than non-cardiovascular. The sample of 935 was 38% female with a mean age of 59 years. Four multimorbidity classes were identified and labeled high multimorbidity (Class 1), and included hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and respiratory disorders (COPD or asthma); low multimorbidity (Class 2), and only included obesity; cardiovascular multimorbidity (Class 3), and included hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart disease; and cardio-oncology multimorbidity (Class 4) which included hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and cancer. Patients in Class 3 experienced an ACS event 100% of the time, while only 1.2% of Class 2 were diagnosed with ACS.

description: We study real-time dynamics of a charge carrier introduced into undoped Mott insulator propagating under a constant electric field F on the t-J ladder and square lattice. We calculate quasistationary current. In both systems adiabatic regime is observed followed by the positive differential resistivity (PDR) at moderate fields where carrier mobility is determined. Quantitative differences between ladder and 2-dimensional (2D) system emerge when at large fields both systems enter negative differential resistivity (NDR) regime. In the ladder system Bloch-like oscillations prevail, while in 2D the current remains finite, proportional to 1/F. The crossover between PDR and NDR regime in 2D is accompanied by a change of the spatial structure of the propagating spin polaron.

Whither Leviathan : Canadian federalism and Alberta
Creators: name: Chesman, David D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Secession is federal failure and a phenomenon of identity politics. This thesis applies a theory of federal failure, as distilled from existing scholarship, to the relationship between Canadian federalism and Alberta. The theory posits that the successful conduct of federalism is constrained to avoid the initial phase of secession, “secessionist alienation”, defined as a constituency that can be mobilized in favour of secession within a specific federal territory. Secessionist alienation is composed of two (2) essential, interdependent elements: “secessionist capacity” and “secessionist will”. Secessionist capacity requires a separable territory within which its constituents share a territorial identity. Secessionist will is an intense fear of the federal union triggered by the emergence of the Federal Leviathan, central government oppression in the form of the appropriation of, or interference with, a federal territory’s authority in breach of the federal bargain that presents as an existential crisis for the territory’s identity. The application of the theory to the relationship between Canadian federalism and Alberta reveals that Alberta possesses secessionist capacity as a consequence of Canadian federalism and that the factors that facilitate the emergence of the Federal Leviathan are routinely present in the relationship between Alberta and Canadian federalism. Accordingly, if the successful conduct of Canadian federalism is constrained to avoid secessionist alienation in Alberta, the central government must respect Alberta’s territorial identity, economic subnationalism, that presents as its intense commitment to Alberta’s ownership and control of its oil and gas resources.

Selenium-Binding Protein 1 in Prostate Cancer

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In prostate cancer and several other types of cancer, selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1) levels are reduced compared to benign tissues, therefore indicating a possible tumor suppressor function for this protein. Here we demonstrate evidence that ectopic expression of SBP1 alters the metabolism of prostate cancer cells by inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation and activating AMPK, a central cellular energy sensor. Additionally, both products of SBP1, H2O2, and H2S, can activate AMPK. SBP1 also inhibits prostate cancer cell migration and growth in semi-solid media. Mutating the SBP1 likely selenium binding site at cys57 does not affect the SBP1-induced AMPK activation, suppression of migration, or growth in semi-solid media. We also identified hepatic nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α) as a novel suppressor of SBP1 expression in prostate cancer cells. In summary, the loss of SBP1 may be a key player during the process of metabolic transformation in prostate cancer and may facilitate the shift towards a malignant phenotype.

description: Natural products have become the main focus of mankind due to increasing environmental pollution. The current study was concerned with brinjal plant residues as a source of bio colourant for cotton dyeing. Various media have been employed for the extraction of colourant. Present studies illustrated that excellent colourant yield was obtained in 4% acidified methanol. Cotton fabric was dyed at 50 °C, for 55 min and showed optimised dyeing conditions. Varying chemicals and bio-mordants have been used to achieve elegant shade. Chemical mordanting results revealed that 2% FeSO4as pre-mordant, and 6% TA as post-mordant while in bio- mordanting, 8% of pomegranate peel extract as pre-mordant and 2% pomegranate peel extract as post-mordant indicated a darker shade to mordanted fabrics. Bio-mordanting gave darker shade, and fastness which revealed that bio-mordants have improved the fastness characteristics. FTIR results revealed the confirmation of flavonoids as a colourant for cotton dyeing.

description: The efficiency of cavity sideband cooling of trapped molecules is theoretically investigated for the case where the IR transition between two rovibrational states is used as a cycling transition. The molecules are assumed to be trapped either by a radio-frequency or optical trapping potential, depending on whether they are charged or neutral, and confined inside a high-finesse optical resonator which enhances radiative emission into the cavity mode. Using realistic experimental parameters and COS as a representative molecular example, we show that in this setup cooling to the trap ground state is feasible.

description: Using 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) as the lead compound, fourteen GA sulphonate derivatives (3a–n) were prepared by modifying its C-3 OH group, and their structures were well confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS and melting points. Moreover, we screened the anti-oomycete activity of these compounds against Phytophthora capsici by using the mycelial growth rate method. Among the fourteen GA sulphonate derivatives evaluated, four compounds 3f, 3j, 3k and 3l exhibited more potent anti-oomycete activity than that of the positive control zoxamide (EC50 = 25.17 mg/L), and had the median effective concentration (EC50) values of 23.04, 16.16, 22.55, and 13.93 mg/L, respectively. Especially compound 3l showed the best anti-oomycete activity against P. capsici with EC50 value of 13.93 mg/L. Overall, the introduction of sulfonyloxy groups at the C-3 position of GA has a significant impact on its anti-oomycete activity, and the corresponding derivative activity varies significantly with different substituents R.

description: In a recent paper published in this journal [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 42 (2009) 495004] we studied a one-dimensional particles system where nearest particles attract with a force inversely proportional to a power αof their distance and coalesce upon encounter. Numerics yielded a distribution function h(z) for the gap between neighbouring particles, with h(z)=z^{β(α)} for small z and β(α)>α. We can now prove analytically that in the strict limit of z\to 0, β=αfor α>0, corresponding to the mean-field result, and we compute the length scale where mean-field breaks down. More generally, in that same limit correlations are negligible for any similar reaction model where attractive forces diverge with vanishing distance. The actual meaning of the measured exponent β(α) remains an open question.

description: The genus Nepeta L. (Lamiaceae) comprises about 300 species as annual or perennial herbs or small shrubs, spread in central and southern Europe, the Near East, central and southern Asia, and some areas of Africa. Several species have been used in the traditional medicine. In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oils from aerial parts of two populations of Nepeta apuleji Ucria collected in Sicily, a rare species, growing also in South Spain and NW Africa, were analysed by GC-MS. No one has been previously worked and published on the essential oil of this species. Main constituents of the two oils of the two populations were the monoterpenes β-pinene (11.6–6.3%) and γ-terpinene (9.4–5.0%), and the sesquiterpenes β-caryophyllene (11.9–9.8%) and germacrene D (1.8–13.0%). The chemical profile of the two essential oils presented herein and they compared with previously investigated Nepeta taxa oils, reported in the article.
Improving Natural Product Discovery Efforts Through Analysis of Biosynthetic Gene Populations in Sediment

description: Since the discovery of penicillin in 1928, microorganisms have served as both a significant source of biologically active natural products (NPs) and an inspiration for NP-derived small molecule scaffolds. Their remarkable biosynthetic capacity allows them to produce NPs with high structural diversity and a wide range of biological activities. In this study, the NP biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) diversity in Lake Huron sediment was examined through biogeographic analysis of BGC domain architecture. High-throughput amplicon sequencing was employed to document geographic occurrences of NP biosynthetic domains from 59 surface sediment samples across a 59,590 square kilometer geographic area. In addition, quantifying these genes in both sediment and cultivatable bacterial populations is critical to guiding the trajectory of future NP discovery platforms. We thus employed the same sequencing method to assess the NP biosynthetic gene populations present in two of these Lake Huron sediment samples, and compared these with populations from their corresponding cultivatable bacteria. From these data, the occurrence of several classes of NPs were mapped, including antibiotics, siderophores, and other bioactive compounds across lake sediment. These maps provided evidence that some NP classes exhibit sparse occurrence, while others exhibit more cosmopolitan distribution throughout the lake. These results present some of the first preliminary evidence to support the notion that extensive sample collection efforts are required to more fully capture the NP capacity that exists in sediment. In addition, we highlight three findings, 1) after cultivation, we recovered between 7.7% and 23% of three common types of NP biosynthetic genes from the original sediment population; 2) between 76.3% and 91.5% of measured NP biosynthetic genes from nutrient agar have yet to be characterized in known BGC databases, indicating that readily cultivatable bacteria harbor potential to produce new NPs; 3) even though the predominant taxa present on nutrient media represented some of the major producers of bacterial NPs, the sediment harbored a significantly greater pool of NP biosynthetic genes that could be mined for structural novelty, and these likely belong to taxa that typically have not been represented in microbial drug discovery libraries. These results provide context for a discussion of the limitations that researchers face when employing next generation sequencing techniques to the discovery of natural products in the environment.

description: Using classical density functional theory (DFT) in a modified mean-field approximation we investigate the fluid phase behavior of quasi-two dimensional dipolar fluids confined to a plane. The particles carry three-dimensional dipole moments and interact via a combination of hard-sphere, van-der-Waals, and dipolar interactions. The DFT predicts complex phase behavior involving first- and second-order isotropic-to-ferroelectric transitions, where the ferroelectric ordering is characterized by global polarization within the plane. We compare this phase behavior, particularly the onset of ferroelectric ordering and the related tricritical points, with corresponding three-dimensional systems, slab-like systems (with finite extension into the third direction), and true two-dimensional systems with two-dimensional dipole moments.

description: Ser Culto es ser Libre To be Cultured [is the only way] to be Free The 1961 Cuban Literacy Campaign (CLC), initiated on January 1, was a socio-political project of the Cuban Revolution seeking to eradicate profound social and racial inequalities in Cuba. While little is known about the groundwork for the campaign announced at the UNESCO in September 1960, the literature indicates that research and careful planning were part of Cuba’s preparation for the campaign. Therefore, a country holding a 76% literacy rate, ranking fourth in Latin America in 1959, was able to increase its literacy rate by 20% in less than one year. Cuba became an illiteracy-free country. Increasing the literacy rate was part of the Cuban Revolution’s goals (also prior to the revolution) of creating a new man/woman with new values, contrary to capitalist ones. Values, such as being "cultured" proposed by José Martí (a Cuban national hero), were central to the formation of new, liberated Cuban, while raising awareness of the Revolution’s projects already in motion since 1959. The massive collective participation, the organized grassroots movement, and the historical events derived from the unstable international relations with the U.S., led to the CLC’s success and the development of participants socio-political awareness. I use Paulo Freire’s epistemology to examine the experiences of research-participants (student, teachers, and organizing committee), as well as to highlight the aspects contributing to the participants’ socio-political development. I interpret my findings to answer my research questions within the context of theory and the existing literature.
title: The invention of corruption: India and the License Raj
Creators: name: Misra, Tanmay
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2023

description: The word ‘corruption’ appears frequently in literature on India’s former policy of state planning, pejoratively referred to as the “License Raj.” In this literature, writers often consider corruption to be inherent to state planning and allege that corruption is a central reason behind the policy’s failure. I place these allegations in a history that starts with the arrival of the East India Company on the Indian subcontinent. In examining this history, I consider a number of claims that writers associate with corruption in India and the License Raj: for example, that corruption is economically inefficient, that it is a function of premodern loyalties, or that it is an outcome of monopolistic behavior. Through close reading of texts that allege corruption in the License Raj, I argue that these claims serve to discredit the policy of state planning while naturalizing the concept of ‘corruption’ as something technical and ahistorical. Further, I argue that the term ‘corruption’ in India has had contradictory meanings over the course of its trajectory. In other words, corruption in India has been portrayed both as something premodern as well as modern, something endemic to bureaucracy as well as something bureaucracy can reform, something both timeless as well as historically contingent. I conclude that these contradictions have been papered over by critics of state planning, however unwittingly, to argue for market liberalization. In demonstrating the importance of the colonial encounter in shaping how we often conceptualize ‘corruption,’ I suggest that the allegation of corruption in India’s License Raj is instructive as to how ‘corruption’ has been conceptualized more broadly. Namely, corruption is often believed to be a problem of putatively premodern societies with extensive state regulation of the economy. A closer examination of the literature reveals other, sometimes obscured ideas about corruption which challenge this prevalent view.
Advances in performance-based earthquake early warning in Europe

description: The engineering applications of earthquake early warning (EEW) for Europe, developed in previous projects (i.e.,
SAFER and REAKT) are based on regional seismic networks, since these are able to provide, in real-time, probabilistic
estimates of magnitude and source-to-site distance, which are the basic elements of performance-based early warning
(PBEEW). An alternative and complementary approach is to develop structure-specific early warning systems based on
hardware placed nearby or within the structure served by the EEW system. This is referred to as on-site EEW (Figure
17). This can be combined with the use of SHM (T4.4) to update the vulnerability of the system (T4.2) to modify the
parameters of the early warning system during a seismic sequence. In fact, a mainshock-damaged structure should have
a different warning threshold with respect to an intact one. Here we will develop, together with Task 4.3, the conceptual
framework and necessary software that can be applied in existing structures in WP6.

Results of the study were published in India in an unabridged version in March 1962 by the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) under the title: "Long-term Projections of Demand for and Supply of Selected Agricultural Commodities, 1960/61 to 1975/76". Professor John W. Mellor, under a cooperative agreement between the U. S. Department of Agriculture and Cornell University, undertook a critical analysis of the findings presented in the NCAER publication. The Mellor study "Review and Analysis of the National Council of Applied Economic Research Study of Long-term Projections of Demand for and Supply of Agricultural Commodities, 1960/61 to 1975/76" was completed and made available to USDA in July 1963. The report herein summarizes the report of the National Council, and analyzes its findings on the basis of the Mellor study. Progress under India's Third Five Year Plan and developments in the country's economy that have occurred in the more than 2 years that have elapsed since the Indian study was published are also considered. Some overall conclusions regarding the prospective future supply of and demand for selected agricultural commodities, and their implications for U.S. agriculture, are given.

description: Although repulsive effects have been predicted for quantum vacuum forces between bodies with nontrivial electromagnetic properties, such as between a perfect electric conductor and a perfect magnetic conductor, realistic repulsion seems difficult to achieve. Repulsion is possible if the medium between the bodies has a permittivity in value intermediate to those of the two bodies, but this may not be a useful configuration. Here, inspired by recent numerical work, we initiate analytic calculations of the Casimir-Polder interaction between an atom with anisotropic polarizability and a plate with an aperture. In particular, for a semi-infinite plate, and, more generally, for a wedge, the problem is exactly solvable, and for sufficiently large anisotropy, Casimir-Polder repulsion is indeed possible, in agreement with the previous numerical studies. In order to achieve repulsion, what is needed is a sufficiently sharp edge (not so very sharp, in fact) so that the directions of polarizability of the conductor and the atom are roughly normal to each other. The machinery for carrying out the calculation with a finite aperture is presented. As a motivation for the quantum calculation, we carry out the corresponding classical analysis for the force between a dipole and a metallic sheet with a circular aperture, when the dipole is on the symmetry axis and oriented in the same direction.

description: Buffalo milk processed by method of Kobata and Ginsburg for isolation of its oligosaccharide contents showed significant stimulation of anti-body, delayed type hypersensitivity response to sheep red blood cells in BALB/c mice. This oligosaccharide mixture also stimulated non-specific immune response in terms of MMI. In continuation to our previous studies of oligosaccharide contents of buffalo milk another novel pentasaccharide Ebaliose was isolated from immunostimulant oligosaccharide fraction of buffalo milk. Ebaliose was procured in its purest form, by combining the different chromatographic techniques like Gel filtration, Silica Gel column chromatography, and HPLC. The structure of novel oligosaccharide was determined by 1H,13C, HSQC, TOCSY, COSY, HMBC, ESI-MS, chemical transformation, and chemical degradation. The stereoscopic structure of this novel pentasaccharide was established as under.

Complexity reduction schemes for video compression

description: With consumers having access to a plethora of video enabled devices, efficient transmission of video content with different quality levels and specifications has become essential. The primary way of achieving this task is using the simulcast approach, where different versions of the same video sequence are encoded and transmitted separately. This approach, however, requires significantly large amounts of bandwidth. Another solution is to use scalable Video Coding (SVC), where a single bitstream consists of a base layer (BL) and one or more enhancement layers (ELs). At the decoder side, based on bandwidth or type of application, the appropriate part of an SVC bit stream is used/decoded. While SVC enables delivery of different versions of the same video content within one bit stream at a reduced bitrate compared to simulcast approach, it significantly increases coding complexity. However, the redundancies introduced between the different versions of the same stream allow for complexity reduction, which in turn will result in simpler hardware and software implementation and facilitate the wide adoption of SVC. This thesis addresses complexity reduction for spatial scalability, SNR/Quality/Fidelity scalability, and multiview scalability for the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. First, we propose a fast method for motion estimation of spatial scalability, followed by a probabilistic method for predicting block partitioning for the same scalability. Next, we propose a content adaptive complexity reduction method, a mode prediction approach based on statistical studies, and a Bayesian based mode prediction method all for the quality scalability. An online-learning based mode prediction method is also proposed for quality scalability. For the same bitrate and quality, our methods outperform the original SVC approach by 39% for spatial scalability and by 45% for quality scalability. Finally, we propose a content adaptive complexity reduction scheme and a Bayesian based mode prediction scheme. Then, an online-learning based complexity reduction scheme is proposed for 3D scalability, which incorporates the two other schemes. Results show that our methods reduce the complexity by approximately 23% compared to the original 3D approach for the same quality/bitrate. In summary, our methods can significantly reduce the complexity of SVC, enabling its market adoption.

description: A new lignan, sonneralignan A (1), along with two known lignan compounds, (+)-lariciresinol-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2) and (-)isolariciresinol-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3) were isolated from the n-butanol extract of the mangrove Sonneratia apetala fruit. The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectral analysis. The evaluation of activity showed that compound 1 exhibited significant anti-aging activity, which extended the mean lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans by up to 19.13% (p < 0.05) and 55.29% (p < 0.01) under normal and heat stress cultivation conditions, respectively. Molecular docking studies showed that compound 1 was bound to the DNA binding domain of DAF-16 and promoted the conformation of DAF-16, thus strengthening the interaction between the DAF-16 and related DNA. TRP-252, SER-250 and SER-249 of the binding region might be the key amino residues during the interaction.

description: The most general class of warped AdS5 x M6 supersymmetric solutions in D=11 supergravity permit a consistent truncation to D=5 N=2 minimal gauged supergravity. Here we extend this truncation, for a particular subclass of M6 manifolds, to D=5 N=4 gauged supergravity coupled to two vector multiplets. We obtain the reduction ansatz by T-duality of a recently discussed type IIB truncation on a generic Sasaki-Einstein five-fold, which becomes non-trivial in D=11 and displays non-standard features due to the G-structure of the internal M6. Using this truncation, we construct two new classes of warped and unwarped non-supersymmetric AdS5 M-theory backgrounds. We also comment on possible extensions of the reduction ansatz to the general class of M6 geometries.

description: Rhamnolipide werden bisher hauptsächlich mit dem Stamm Pseudomonas aeruginosa hergestellt. Für eine industrielle Herstellung ist dies auf Dauer allerdings nicht optimal, da es sich bei P. aeruginosa um einen opportunistisch human-pathogenen Keim der Sicherheitsstufe L2 handelt. Daher wird intensiv daran gearbeitet alternative, nicht-pathogene Rhamnolipid-Produzenten für die Herstellung von Rhamnolipiden zu etablieren.
