description: We employ the first two years of data from the near-infrared, high-resolution SDSS-III/APOGEE spectroscopic survey to investigate the distribution of metallicity and alpha-element abundances of stars over a large part of the Milky Way disk. Using a sample of ~10,000 kinematically-unbiased red-clump stars with ~5% distance accuracy as tracers, the [alpha/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] distribution of this sample exhibits a bimodality in [alpha/Fe] at intermediate metallicities, -0.9

description: Although over expression and 15N enrichment facilitate the observation of resonances from disordered proteins in Escherichia coli, 15N enrichment alone is insufficient for detecting most globular proteins. Here we explain this dichotomy and overcome the problem while extending the capability of in-cell NMR by using 19F labeled proteins. Resonances from small (~10 kDa) globular proteins containing the amino acid analog 3-fluoro-tyrosine can be observed in cells, but for larger proteins the 19F resonances are broadened beyond detection. Incorporating the amino acid analog trifluoromethyl-L-phenylalanine allows larger proteins (up to 100 kDa) to be observed in cells. We also show that site specific structural and dynamic information about both globular and disordered proteins can be obtained inside cells by using 19F NMR.

description: Benchmarking a high-precision quantum operation is a big challenge for many quantum systems in the presence of various noises as well as control errors. Here we propose an $O(1)$ benchmarking of a dynamically corrected rotation by taking the quantum advantage of a squeezed spin state in a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate. Our analytical and numerical results show that tiny rotation infidelity, defined by $1-F$ with $F$ the rotation fidelity, can be calibrated in the order of $1/N^2$ by only several measurements of the rotation error for $N$ atoms in an optimally squeezed spin state. Such an $O(1)$ benchmarking is possible not only in a spin-1 BEC but also in other many-spin or many-qubit systems if a squeezed or entangled state is available.

description: Hydrogenation of the (PONOP)Ir(I)CH(3) complex [PONOP = 2,6-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinito)pyridine] yields the unexpected trans-dihydride species (PONOP)IrCH(3)(H)(2). Mechanistic investigations have revealed that this reaction proceeds via proton-catalyzed H(2) cleavage, a pathway that circumvents the intermediacy of the typically invoked cis-dihydride isomer. Protonation yields the cationic (PONOP)Ir(CH(3))(H)(+) complex, which is then trapped by H(2) to yield an eta(2)-H(2) complex. Deprotonation of this species yields the trans-dihydride. Intermediates in the proposed pathway have been confirmed by independent low-temperature syntheses and spectroscopic observations.

description: With the rapid increase in the volume of Big data of this digital era, fax documents, invoices, receipts, etc are traditionally subjected to compression for the efficiency of data storage and transfer. However, in order to process these documents, they need to undergo the stage of decompression which indents additional computing resources. This limitation induces the motivation to research on the possibility of directly processing of compressed images. In this research paper, we summarize the research work carried out to perform different operations straight from run-length compressed documents without going through the stage of decompression. The different operations demonstrated are feature extraction; text-line, word and character segmentation; document block segmentation; and font size detection, all carried out in the compressed version of the document. Feature extraction methods demonstrate how to extract the conventionally defined features such as projection profile, run-histogram and entropy, directly from the compressed document data. Document segmentation involves the extraction of compressed segments of text-lines, words and characters using the vertical and horizontal projection profile features. Further an attempt is made to segment randomly a block of interest from the compressed document and subsequently facilitate absolute and relative characterization of the segmented block which finds real time applications in automatic processing of Bank Cheques, Challans, etc, in compressed domain. Finally an application to detect font size at text line level is also investigated. All the proposed algorithms are validated experimentally with sufficient data set of compressed documents.

description: BACKGROUND: Unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) is known to disrupt pulmonary immune mechanisms and increase the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with pneumonia; however, little is known about the effects of UAU on outcomes in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. To our knowledge, this is the first observational cross-sectional study that aims to understand the effect of UAU on the severity of COVID-19. OBJECTIVE: We aim to determine if UAU is associated with more severe clinical presentation and worse health outcomes related to COVID-19 and if socioeconomic status, smoking, age, BMI, race/ethnicity, and pattern of alcohol use modify the risk. METHODS: In this observational cross-sectional study that took place between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020, we ran a digital machine learning classifier on the electronic health record of patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 via nasopharyngeal swab or had two COVID-19 International Classification of Disease, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes to identify patients with UAU. After controlling for age, sex, ethnicity, BMI, smoking status, insurance status, and presence of ICD-10 codes for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, we then performed a multivariable regression to examine the relationship between UAU and COVID-19 severity as measured by hospital care level (ie, emergency department admission, emergency department admission with ventilator, or death). We used a predefined cutoff with optimal sensitivity and specificity on the digital classifier to compare disease severity in patients with and without UAU. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, smoking status, and insurance status. RESULTS: Each incremental increase in the predicted probability from the digital alcohol classifier was associated with a greater odds risk for more severe COVID-19 disease (odds ratio 1.15, 95% CI 1.10-1.20). We found that patients in the unhealthy alcohol group had a greater odds risk to develop more severe disease (odds ratio 1.89, 95% CI 1.17-3.06), suggesting that UAU was associated with an 89% increase in the odds of being in a higher severity category. CONCLUSIONS: In patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, UAU is an independent risk factor associated with greater disease severity and/or death.

description: Reformatsky reagents react sequentially with silyl glyoxylates and β-lactones to give highly functionalized Claisen condensation products. A heretofore undocumented instance of stereochemical 1,4-induction results in efficient transmission of β-lactone stereochemistry to the emerging fully-substituted stereocenter. Second-stage transformations reveal that the five heteroatom-containing functionalities embedded within the products are entirely chemo-differentiated, a circumstance that permits rapid assembly of the leustroducsin B core substructure.

description: Artificial selection is a well-known phenomenon of selecting for certain physiological characteristics of various species of plants and animals, and it is something that human beings have been doing for thousands of years. A perfect example of this is the union and development of dogs under human stewardship since the beginning of the agricultural era of society. In that time, approximately 6,000 years [1], dogs have been artificially selected in such a way as to produce thousands of different breeds. From the stout Dachshund, a dog breed produced for the purpose of hunting den-dwelling animals, to the highly intelligent Border Collies who were bred to help sheep herders herd their flocks; the many different canine breeds have served humanity in a multitude of capacities for many generations. In this paper, using the concept of artificial selection,[1] it is determined with mathematical and statistical evidence how humans could artificially select for canine intelligence to such a degree as to produce canines with human levels of intelligence within a relatively short amount of time—600 years.

description: Digital health interventions may contribute to closing the treatment gap for depression by reaching large populations at relatively low costs. This article presents the results of a broad, multisided German survey in 2020 on the acceptance and use of digital health interventions in depression care from the perspective of patients, their relatives, and health professionals. A total of 97 patients and relatives and 229 health professionals participated. Survey participants reported openness towards the use of digital health interventions in depression care but little knowledge and experience in the field. Digital health interventions appear to be a promising opportunity for reducing depressive symptoms and shortening waiting time for depression treatment, especially in rural areas. Providing information and technical competencies may increase awareness and knowledge about digital health interventions and the benefits of depression care.
Selective 2′-Hydroxyl Acylation Analyzed by Protection from Exoribonuclease

description: Selective 2′-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) is a powerful approach for characterizing RNA structure and dynamics at single-nucleotide resolution. However, SHAPE technology is limited, sometimes severely, because primer extension detection obscures structural information for ~15 nts at the 5′ end and 40–60 nts at the 3′ end of the RNA. Moreover, detection by primer extension is more complex than the actual structure-selective chemical interrogation step. Here we quantify covalent adducts in RNA directly by adduct-inhibited exoribonuclease degradation. RNA 2′-O-adducts block processivity of a 3′→5′ exoribonuclease, RNase R, to produce fragments that terminate three nucleotides 3′ of the modification site. We analyzed the structure of the native thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) riboswitch aptamer domain and identified large changes in local nucleotide dynamics and global RNA structure upon ligand binding. In addition to numerous changes that can be attributed to ligand recognition, we identify a single nucleotide bulge register shift, distant from the binding site, that stabilizes the ligand-bound structure. Selective 2′-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by protection from exoribonuclease (RNase-detected SHAPE) should prove broadly useful for facile structural analysis of small non-coding RNAs and for RNAs that have functionally critical structures at their 5′ and 3′ ends.

We discuss optically thick winds from Wolf-Rayet stars and Very Massive Stars, and the hypothesis of porosity-moderated, continuum-driven mass loss from stars formally exceeding the Eddington limit, which might explain the giant outbursts from Luminous Blue Variables. We finish this review with a glance on the impact of rapid rotation, magnetic fields and small-scale inhomogeneities in line-driven winds.

description: The proteasome, a multicatalytic protease, displays distinct chymotrypsin-like, caspase-like, and trypsin-like activities at three different subunits of the multimeric complex. Fluorescent substrates for each of these active sites have been described. However, since the fluorescent properties of these substrates are very similar, it is not possible to simultaneously monitor catalysis of two or more activities. We have developed a long wavelength (λex = 600 nm, λem = 700 nm) fluorescent substrate for the chymotrypsin-like active site via a combinatorial library strategy. This peptide-based substrate is a highly selective proteasomal chymotrypsin-like sensor, as assessed by a series of proteasomal active site mutants in yeast cell lysates. A corresponding caged analog of the sensor has been prepared, which is resistant to proteolysis until activated by 349 nm light. The latter affords the opportunity to assess proteasomal activity with a high degree of temporal control. The distinct photophysical properties of the sensor allow the chymotrypsin-like activity to be simultaneously monitored during caspase-like or trypsin-like catalysis. We have found that chymotrypsin-like activity is enhanced in the presence of the trypsin-like substrate, but reduced in the presence of caspase-like substrate. Furthermore, the chymotrypsin-like sensor hinders the activity of both the caspase- and trypsin-like active sites. Coincident monitoring of two catalytic active sites furnishes two-thirds coverage of total proteasomal activity, which should provide the means to address if and how the distinct active sites of the proteasome influence one another during catalysis.

description: Exposure to formaldehyde results in the formation of DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) as a primary genotoxic effect. Although DPCs are biologically important and eight amino acids have been reported to form stable adducts with formaldehyde, the structures of these cross-links have not yet been elucidated. We have characterized formaldehyde-induced cross-links of Lys, Cys, His and Trp with dG, dA and dC. dT formed no cross-links, nor did Arg, Gln, Tyr or Asn. Reaction of formaldehyde with Lys and dG gave the highest yield of cross-linked products, followed by reaction with Cys and dG. Yields from the other coupling reactions were lower by a factor of 10 or more. Detailed structural examination by NMR and mass spectrometry established that the cross-links between amino acids and single nucleosides involve a formaldehyde-derived methylene bridge. Lys yielded two additional products with dG in which the linking structure is a 1,N2-fused triazino ring. The Lys cross-linked products were unstable at ambient temperature. Reactions between the reactive Nα-Boc-protected amino acids and the trinucleotides d(T1B2T3) where B2 is the target base G, A or C and reactions between dG, dA and dC and 8-mer peptides containing a single reactive target residue at position 5 yielded cross-linked products with structures inferred from high resolution mass spectrometry and fragmentation patterns that are consistent with those between Nα-Boc-protected amino acids and single nucleotides rigorously determined by NMR studies. These structures will provide a basis for investigation of the characteristics and properties of DPCs formed in vivo and will be helpful in identifying biomarkers for the evaluation of formaldehyde exposure both at site of contact and at distant sites.

description: Quantum coherence is an important quantum resource and it is intimately related to various research fields. The geometric coherence is a coherence measure both operationally and geometrically. We study the trade-off relation of geometric coherence in qubit systems. We first derive an upper bound for the geometric coherence by the purity of quantum states. Based on this, a complementarity relation between the quantum coherence and the mixedness is established. We then derive the quantum uncertainty relations of the geometric coherence on two and three general measurement bases in terms of the incompatibility respectively, which turn out to be state-independent for pure states. These trade-off relations provide the limit to the amount of quantum coherence. As a byproduct,the complementarity relation between the minimum error probability for discriminating a pure-states ensemble and the mixedness of quantum states is established.

description: A fluorescent sensor of protein kinase activity has been developed and used to characterize the compartmentalized location of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity in mitochondria. The sensor functions via a phosphorylation-induced release of a quencher from a peptide-based substrate, producing a 150-fold enhancement in fluorescence. The quenching phenomenon transpires via interaction of the quencher with Arg residues positioned on the peptide substrate. Although the cAMP-dependent protein kinase is known to be present in mitochondria, the relative amount of enzyme positioned in the major compartments (outer membrane, intermembrane space, and the matrix) of the organelle is unclear. The fluorescent sensor developed in this study was used to reveal the relative matrix:intermembrane space:outer membrane (85:6:9) distribution of PKA in bovine heart mitochondria.

description: Selective delivery of antisense or siRNA oligonucleotides to cells and tissues via receptor-mediated endocytosis is becoming an important approach for oligonucleotide-based pharmacology. In most cases receptor targeting has been attained using antibodies or peptide-type ligands. Thus there are few examples of delivering oligonucleotides using the plethora of small-molecule receptor-specific ligands that currently exist. In this report we describe a facile approach to the generation of mono- and multi-valent conjugates of oligonucleotides with small molecule ligands. Using the sigma receptor ligand anisamide as an example, we describe conversion of the ligand to a phosphoramidite and direct incorporation of this moiety into the oligonucleotide by solid phase DNA synthesis. We generated mono- and tri-valent conjugates of anisamide with a splice switching antisense oligonucleotide (SSO) and tested their ability to modify splicing of a reporter gene (luciferase) in tumor cells in culture. The tri-valent anisamide-SSO conjugate displayed enhanced cellular uptake and was markedly more effective than an unconjugated SSO or the mono-valent conjugate in modifying splicing of the reporter. Significant biological effects were attained in the sub-100 nM concentration range.

description: This article describes the Proximity-to-Hazard Dashboard (PHD) developed by a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago. The team used an interative community-based participatory design (CBPD) approach to identify environmental justice concerns among communities in the southwest area of Chicago and formulate the visualization interface. Drawing from these insights, the PHD proposes a new approach based on ‘proximity to a location’ and the notion of ‘cumulative burden’ to assess the impact of an additional polluting source on local communities. After reviewing existing environmental justice dashboards released by state governments, the article describes how the PHD was developed and its unique characteristics. The PHD makes two substantial advancements to current EJ GIS applications. First, it proposes a localized decision support tool targeted to local communities and policymakers by providing an easily accessible representation of the cumulative environmental burden (EB). Second, it integrates a location proximity approach with socioeconomic disparities (SD) information with an emphasis on the unequal distribution of EB on a sensitive population, namely schoolchildren. The current PHD interface is selected to provide an easy-to-replicate tool for other urban centers aiming to perform environmental justice interventions and provide access to environmental justice data and visualizations to historically marginalized communities.

A database search was run retrospectively from July 2020 through calendar year 2013. Articles had to present outcomes examining cannabis use and symptoms of anxiety, be written in English, contain samples with ≥ 50% who are age 25 or younger, and be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Forty-seven studies were identified that examined the relationship between anxiety and cannabis use. Twenty-three studies found a positive association that greater anxiety among AYA was associated with greater cannabis use. In contrast, seven studies found a negative association that greater anxiety was related to less cannabis use. And finally, 17 studies found no clear association between anxiety and cannabis use. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between anxiety and cannabis use.

description: We present ALMA observations of a wide binary system in Orion, with projected separation 440 AU, in which we detect submillimeter emission from the protoplanetary disks around each star. Both disks appear moderately massive and have strong line emission in CO 3-2, HCO+ 4-3, and HCN 3-2. In addition, CS 7-6 is detected in one disk. The line-to-continuum ratios are similar for the two disks in each of the lines. From the resolved velocity gradients across each disk, we constrain the masses of the central stars, and show consistency with optical-infrared spectroscopy, both indicative of a high mass ratio ~9. The small difference between the systemic velocities indicates that the binary orbital plane is close to face-on. The angle between the projected disk rotation axes is very high, ~72 degrees, showing that the system did not form from a single massive disk or a rigidly rotating cloud core. This finding, which adds to related evidence from disk geometries in other systems, protostellar outflows, stellar rotation, and similar recent ALMA results, demonstrates that turbulence or dynamical interactions act on small scales well below that of molecular cores during the early stages of star formation.

description: Transferrin receptor (TfR, CD71) has long been therapeutic target due to its over-expression on many malignant tissues. In this study, PRINT® nanoparticles were conjugated with TfR ligands for targeted drug delivery. Cylindrical poly(ethylene glycol)-based PRINT nanoparticles (diameter [d] = 200 nm, height [h] = 200 nm) labeled with transferrin receptor antibody (NP-OKT9) or human transferrin (NP-hTf), showed highly specific TfR-mediated uptake by all human tumor cell lines tested, relative to negative controls (IgG1 for OKT9 or bovine transferrin (bTf) for hTf). The targeting efficiency was dependent on particle concentration, ligand density, dosing time and cell surface receptor expression level. Interestingly, NP-OKT9 or NP-hTf showed little cytotoxicity on all solid tumor cell lines tested but were very toxic to Ramos B-cell lymphoma, whereas free OKT9 or hTf was not toxic. There was a strong correlation between TfR ligand density on particle surface and cell viability and particle uptake. NP-OKT9 and NP-hTf were internalized into acidic intracellular compartments but were not localized in EEA1 enriched early endosomes or lysosomes. Elevated caspase 3/7 activity indicates activation of apoptosis pathways upon particle treatment. Supplementation of iron suppressed the toxicity of NP-OKT9 but not NP-hTf, suggesting different mechanisms by which NP-hTf and NP-OKT9 exerts cytotoxicity on Ramos cells. Based on such an observation, the complex role of multivalency in nanoparticles is discussed. In addition, our data clearly reveal that one must be careful in making claims of “lack of toxicity” when a targeting molecule is used on nanoparticles and also raise concerns for unanticipated off-target effects when one is designing targeted chemotherapy nano-delivery agents.

description: Responsive polymeric biomaterials can be triggered to degrade using localized environments found in vivo. A limited number of biomaterials provide precise control over the rate of degradation, the release rate of entrapped cargo, and yield a material that is intrinsically non-toxic. Here we design non-toxic acid-sensitive biomaterials based on silyl ether chemistry. A host of silyl ether cross-linkers were synthesized and molded into relevant medical devices including Trojan horse particles, sutures, and stents. The resulting devices were engineered to degrade under acidic conditions known to exist in tumor tissue, inflammatory tissue, and within diseased cells. The implementation of silyl ether chemistry gave precise control over the rate of degradation, and depending upon the steric bulk around the silicon atom, afforded devices that could degrade over the course of hours, days, weeks, or months. These novel materials could be useful for numerous biomedical applications including drug-delivery, tissue repair, and general surgery.

description: Photolysis of hydroxocobalamin in the presence of plasmid DNA (pBR322) results in DNA cleavage. Temporal control of hydroxyl radical production and DNA strand scission by hydroxocobalamin was demonstrated using a 2-deoxyribose assay and a plasmid relaxation assay, respectively. The light-driven hydroxocobalamin-mediated catalytic formation of hydroxyl radicals was demonstrated using radical scavenging studies of DNA cleavage and via recycling of a hydroxocobalamin-resin several times without loss of efficacy.

description: Hydrogen diffusion is critical to the performance of metals for hydrogen storage as well as other important applications. As compared to its crystalline counterpart which follows the Arrhenius relation, hydrogen diffusion in amorphous metals sometimes are experimentally found to be non-Arrhenian. In this work we studied the diffusion of hydrogen in amorphous Pd-H and Zr-Cu-H alloys based on molecular dynamics simulations. Our simulations confirm Arrhenian diffusion behaviour for hydrogen in amorphous alloys, in contrast to previous theoretical studies which predict non-Arrhenian behaviour. We show that the simulated non-Arrhenian diffusion based on molecular dynamics could result from a systematic error related to too short simulation time. We also discussed the experimental non-Arrhenian behaviour of hydrogen diffusion within the framework of quantum tunneling and amorphous-amorphous phase transformations.

description: We present the compilation catalogue of redshift-independent distances included in the HyperLEDA database. It is actively maintained to be up-to-date, and the current version counts 6640 distance measurements for 2335 galaxies compiled from 430 published articles. Each individual series is recalibrated onto a common distance scale based on a carefully selected set of high-quality measurements. This information together with data on HI line-width, central velocity dispersion, magnitudes, diameters, and redshift is used to derive a homogeneous distance estimate and physical properties of galaxies, such as their absolute magnitudes and intrinsic size.

On the Development of Methodology for Planning and Cost-Modeling of a Wide Area Network

description: The most important stages in designing a computer network in a wider geographical area include: definition of requirements, topological description, identification and calculation of relevant parameters (i.e. traffic matrix), determining the shortest path between nodes, quantification of the effect of various levels of technical and technological development of urban areas involved, the cost of technology, and the cost of services. These parameters differ for WAN networks in different regions - their calculation depends directly on the data "in the field": number of inhabitants, distance between populated areas, network traffic density, as well as available bandwidth. The main reason for identification and evaluation of these parameters is to develop a model that could meet the constraints imposed by potential beneficiaries. In this paper, we develop a methodology for planning and cost-modeling of a wide area network and validate it in a case study, under the supposition that behavioral interactions of individuals and groups play a significant role and have to be taken into consideration by employing either simple or composite indicators of socioeconomic status.
