description: X-ray images of galaxy clusters and gas-rich elliptical galaxies show a wealth of small-scale features which reflect fluctuations in density and/or temperature of the intra-cluster medium. In this paper we study these fluctuations in M87/Virgo, to establish whether sound waves/shocks, bubbles or uplifted cold gas dominate the structure. We exploit the strong dependence of the emissivity on density and temperature in different energy bands to distinguish between these processes. Using simulations we demonstrate that our analysis recovers the leading type of fluctuation even in the presence of projection effects and temperature gradients. We confirm the isobaric nature of cool filaments of gas entrained by buoyantly rising bubbles, extending to 7' to the east and south-west, and the adiabatic nature of the weak shocks at 40" and 3' from the center. For features of 5--10 kpc, we show that the central 4'x 4' region is dominated by cool structures in pressure equilibrium with the ambient hotter gas while up to 30 percent of the variance in this region can be ascribed to adiabatic fluctuations. The remaining part of the central 14'x14' region, excluding the arms and shocks described above, is dominated by apparently isothermal fluctuations (bubbles) with a possible admixture (at the level of about 30 percent) of adiabatic (sound waves) and by isobaric structures. Larger features, of about 30 kpc, show a stronger contribution from isobaric fluctuations. The results broadly agree with an AGN feedback model mediated by bubbles of relativistic plasma.

description: We study the effect of surface brightness on the mass-metallicity relation using nearby galaxies whose gas content and metallicity profiles are available. Previous studies using fiber spectra indicated that lower surface brightness galaxies have systematically lower metallicity for their stellar mass, but the results were uncertain because of aperture effect. With stellar masses and surface brightnesses measured at WISE W1 and W2 bands, we re-investigate the surface brightness dependence with spatially-resolved metallicity profiles and find the similar result. We further demonstrate that the systematical difference cannot be explained by the gas content of galaxies. For two galaxies with similar stellar and gas masses, the one with lower surface brightness tends to have lower metallicity. Using chemical evolution models, we investigate the inflow and outflow properties of galaxies of different masses and surface brightnesses. We find that, on average, high mass galaxies have lower inflow and outflow rates relative to star formation rate. On the other hand, lower surface brightness galaxies experience stronger inflow than higher surface brightness galaxies of similar mass. The surface brightness effect is more significant for low mass galaxies. We discuss implications on the different inflow properties between low and high surface brightness galaxies, including star formation efficiency, environment and mass assembly history.
Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Pain Management of Cognitively Impaired Nursing Home Residents: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Allen, Elizabeth

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Background: Greater than 50% of nursing home (NH) residents are cognitively impaired, of which 45-80% experience pain on a daily basis. • Current evidence indicates suboptimal pain management of cognitively impaired older adults. • As residents with moderate to severe cognitive impairment are often unable to self-report pain, this subpopulation is at high risk for suffering. • This problem paired with age-related physiological changes that place older adults at risk for adverse reactions to pain medication suggests a need for non-pharmacological interventions. Purpose: In this systematic review, studies of non pharmacological interventions to reduce pain in cognitively impaired NH residents were reviewed. Study findings were assessed 1) to determine what interventions to reduce pain have been studied in cognitively impaired NH residents 2) to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions, and 3) to assess the potential for these interventions to be implemented in NHs. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guided this systematic review. • Included studies were published in English after January 1, 2001, as JCAHO first established standards for pain assessment and treatment in 2001. • End of life interventions, single case studies, and dissertations were excluded. • PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase databases were searched on September 19, 2016. • A standardized data abstraction tool was utilized. • The quality of each study was evaluated regarding sample size, attrition, randomization, control, and blinding. • Data synthesis was conducted by using standardized vote counting within themes. Results: Across the 9 studies, there were 7 different measures of cognitive impairment and 8 different measures of pain. Studies reported 3 different categories of interventions: specialized dementia care units, training and tools to support pain assessment, and non-pharmacological therapies. Both studies of specialized dementia care units reported that residents on these units receive less pain medication than residents on open units. 2 of 4 interventions involving training and tools to support assessment were associated with deceased pain. The nonpharmacological therapies of reflexology, Passive Movement Therapy (PMT), and Namaste were all associated with a decrease in pain, but long-term maintenance of efficacy is unknown. The Namaste study was the only study to require nursing staff reorganization. In addition to the training required to implement pain assessment systems, interventionists of the 3 non-pharmacological therapies required training. No study noted the cost of implementation.

And 5-((trihydro-2-oxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)-5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)furan-3yl)methyl)benzene-1,2,3,4-tetraol (4) and bis(2-hydroxybutyl) phthalate (5) were isolated from the chloroform: methanol (1:1) roots extract. The structures of the compounds were characterized using NMR, IR and GC/MS spectroscopic data. In vitro antibacterial and antioxidant activities of leaves extracts and compounds 1, 2, 4, and 5 were also evaluated. The present findings disclosed that tested compound isolates and extracts showed dose-dependent antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The molecular docking result indicates that isolated compounds show no violation of the Lipinski’s rule of five. Compounds 1, 2, 4, and 5 were reported herein for the first time from the leaves and roots of C. purpurea. Further biochemical investigation on whole parts of the plant may uncover additional chemical entities with better biological activities.

description: Saikosaponin A (SSA) is the main active ingredient of roots of the East Asian medicinal plant, Bupleurum falcatum L. The present study was aimed at delving into the analgesic properties of SSA in a model of chronic inflammatory pain. To this end, rats were initially treated intraplantarly with complete Freund’s adjuvant for induction of hyperalgesia. Twenty-four hours later, rats were acutely treated with SSA (0, 1 and 2 mg/kg, i.p.) and exposed to the Von Frey monofilament test or Randall–Selitto paw pressure test for assessment of mechanical hyperalgesia. Treatment with 2 mg/kg SSA had analgesic effects: the nocifensive reaction (paw withdrawal) occurred later and required application of the nociceptive stimulus at a stronger pressure. The analgesic effects of SSA were of magnitude comparable to that of the effects exerted by the reference compound, acetyl salicylic acid (100 mg/kg, i.p.). The well-described anti-inflammatory properties of SSA likely underlie its analgesic effects.

description: Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of virus transmission that causes dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya and zika. The primary prevention method has been vector control and synthetic insecticides that can cause environmental side effects. Thus, the work aimed to evaluate the larvicidal potential of extracts and isolated compounds from Piper cubeba against A. aegypti larvae. The larvicidal activity method was executed according to the World Health Organization protocol. The larvae were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Through molecular docking, the action mechanism was investigated. The hydroalcoholic and hexane extracts showed similar larvicidal activity with LC50 of 191.1 μg/mL and 185.84 μg/mL, respectively. Between isolated compounds, hinokinin presented LC50= 97.74 μg/mL. The SEM analysis showed structural damage to the larva’s tegument caused by extracts and isolated compounds. Therefore, the results demonstrate the larvicidal action of hinokinin and extracts, which can lead to the development of new natural larvicides.

description: The main challenge for understanding the fuelling of supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei is not to account for the source of fuel, but rather to explain its delivery from the boundaries of the black hole sphere of influence (10-100 pc) down to sub-parsec scales. In this work, we report on a series of numerical experiments aimed at exploring in further depth our model of "overlapping inflow events" as catalysts for rapid accretion, seeding a turbulent field in the infalling gas. We initially set a gaseous shell in non-equilibrium rotation around a supermassive black hole. After infall, the shell stalls in a disc-like structure. A second shell is then set in either co-rotation or counter-rotation with respect to the first and is let to impinge on the previously-formed disc. We find that combined turbulence and overlap significantly enhance accretion in counter-rotating inflows, while turbulence dominates for co-rotating inflows. The leftovers of overlapping inflows are warped nuclear discs, whose morphology depends on the relative orientation and angular momentum of the disc and the shell. Overlapping inflows leave observational signatures in the gas rotation curves.

description: The manipulation of regulatory genes has been employed to awaken cryptic metabolites in Streptomyces. Of particular interest in recent years is the effect of disruption of a pathway-specific gene to other biosynthetic pathways. Herein, we report the inactivation of the accramycin pathway-specific regulatory gene, accJ in Streptomyces sp. MA37 resulted in the production of unrelated polyketide metabolites. Through detailed mass spectrometric and spectroscopic analyses, and comparison with literature data, their structures were deduced as 3-methoxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (1), zanthopyranone (2), propioveratrone (3), and TW94a (4). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the isolation of 1–3 from bacteria. Compounds 1, 2, and 4 showed weak to moderate activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Enterococcus faecium. Propioveratrone (3) displayed better inhibitory activity (MIC = 6.3 μg/mL) than ampicillin against multi-drug resistant E. faecium K60–39 clinical isolate (MIC = 25 μg/mL), suggesting a promising structural template for the drug development targeting Enterococcus isolates.

description: Background: Vulvar Vestibulitis (VVS) is the most common cause of vulvodynia in reproductive age women, affecting up to 15% of the general female population. Women with VVS have pain with intercourse, and sensitivity to touch on genital contact. Psychological characteristics such as anxiety and somatization are also common in the population. Evidence supports VVS as a complex pain disorder, akin to idiopathic musculoskeletal pain conditions, such as temporomandibular disorder, the most common form of orofacial pain (OFP). We have previously found that OFP was a common co-morbidity among women with VVS. Higher levels of anxiety, somatization, and psychological distress were found among women with VVS and OFP, than among those women with VVS and no OFP. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess the stability of our original findings and investigate the change in OFP symptoms over a 2 yr period among women with vulvar vestibulitis.

description: We investigate the effect of the Majorana Fermions which are formed at the boundary of a p-wave superconductor. When the Majorana overlapping energy is finite we construct the scattering matrix $\mathbf{S}$ by maping the Majorana zero mode to Fermions for which coherent states are defined and a path integral is obtained . The path integral is used to compute the scattering matrix in terms of the electrons in the leads . This method is suitable for computing the conductivity. We investigate a chiral Majorana Hamiltonian and show that in the absence of vortices the conductivity vanish. We compute the conductivity for p wave superconductor coupled to two metallic leads we show that when the overlapping energy between the two Majorana fermions is finite the Andreev Crossed reflection conductance is finite.

description: Traditional herbal medicinal products (THMP) with Plantago lanceolata L., folium (Ribwort Plantain Leaves) are well-known and very popular among the European population. The aim of our study was the toxicological risk assessment for adults of Pb impurities in THMP with Plantago lanceolata L. obtained from pharmacies in Poland. The estimations of Pb impurities in the single dose (22.1 − 50.7 ng/single dose) and in the daily dose (ng/day) were based on the worst-case scenario (WCS), i.e. based on the posology recommended by manufacturers. The estimated daily exposure (ng/day) meets the standards of the ICH Q3D (R1) guideline on elemental impurities (5.0 µg/day) according to the Pb levels (all results were below 250 ng/day). It can be concluded that all investigated THMPs with Plantago lanceolata L., folium available in pharmacies from Poland should not represent any health risk to the adults.

description: Laser photons carrying non-zero orbital angular momentum are known and exploited during the last twenty years. Recently it has been demonstrated experimentally that such (twisted) electrons can be produced and even focused to a subnanometer scale. Thus, twisted electrons emerge as a new tool in atomic physics. The state of a twisted electron can be considered as a specific wave packet of plane waves. In the present paper-I we consider elastic scattering of the wave packets of fast non-relativistic particles on a potential field. We obtain simple and convenient formulae for a number of events in such a scattering. The equations derived represent, in fact, generalization of the well-known Born approximation for the case when finite sizes and inhomogeneity of the initial packet should be taken into account. To illustrate the obtained results, we consider two simple models corresponding to scattering of a Gaussian wave packet on the Gaussian potential and on the hydrogen atom. The scattering of twisted electrons on atoms will be considered in the next paper-II.

description: Investigation of the leaves of Bauhinia thonningii Schum led to the isolation and identification of a new flavonol derivative, 6-C-methylquercetin-3,4'-dimethyl ether (1) together with eleven known compounds (2–13), with two of them (10 and 11) obtained as a mixture. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses. Antibacterial activity of compound 1 as well as the reference antibiotic, ciprofloxacin was tested on Gram-negative multidrug-resistant bacteria overexpressing active efflux pumps, and against methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Samples were tested alone and in combination with an efflux pump inhibitor (EPI), phenylalanine-arginine-β-naphthylamide (PAßN). Results show that when compound 1 was tested alone, its inhibitory effects were obtained on 7/10 tested bacteria with the highest MIC value of 128 µg/mL whilst in the presence of EPI, this activity significantly increase in all the 10 bacteria. An interesting antibacterial activity was obtained with compound 1 against Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC11296 (MIC of 4 µg/mL), KP55 and Staphylococcus aureus MRSA6 in the presence of the PaßN.

description: Using random walk simulations we explore diffusive transport through monodisperse sphere packings over a range of packing fractions, $ϕ$, in the vicinity of the jamming transition at $ϕ_{c}$. Various diffusion properties are computed over several orders of magnitude in both time and packing pressure. Two well-separated regimes of normal, "Fickian" diffusion, where the mean squared displacement is linear in time, are observed. The first corresponds to diffusion inside individual spheres, while the latter is the long-time bulk diffusion. The intermediate anomalous diffusion regime and the long-time value of the diffusion coefficient are both shown to be controlled by particle contacts, which in turn depend on proximity to $ϕ_{c}$. The time required to recover normal diffusion $t^*$ scales as $(ϕ-ϕ_c)^{-0.5}$ and the long-time diffusivity $D_\infty \sim (ϕ- ϕ_c)^{0.5}$, or $D_\infty \sim 1/t^*$. It is shown that the distribution of mean first passage times associated with the escape of random walkers between neighboring particles controls both $t^*$ and $D_\infty$ in the limit $ϕ\rightarrow ϕ_c$.

description: Fourier transforms are ubiquitous mathematical tools in basic and applied sciences. We here report classical and quantum optical realizations of the discrete fractional Fourier transform, a generalization of the Fourier transform. In the integrated configuration used in our experiments, the order of the transform is mapped onto the longitudinal coordinate, thus opening up the prospect of simultaneously observing all Transformation orders. In the context of classical optics, we implement discrete fractional Fourier transforms, both integer and fractional, of exemplary wave functions and experimentally demonstrate the shift theorem. Moreover, we apply this approach in the quantum realm to transform separable and highly entangled biphoton wave functions. The proposed approach is versatile and could find applications in various fields where Fourier transforms are essential tools, such as quantum chemistry and biology, physics and mathematics.

description: Users of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the developing world encounter these technologies within their own situated, dynamic contexts. Their interactions with the technology are explicitly and implicitly affected by their political, cultural, infrastructural and socio-economic environment. In this poster, I present findings from ongoing sets of interviews with eGranary intermediary donors and agents, operating in seven sub- Saharan countries. eGranary is an offline library collection of open-source Web material, designed for use in environments with irregular or no internet connectivity. However little is known of the ICT's impact on communities, users’ knowledge practices, or its wider effects, e.g. on pedagogy. Prior to establishing communications with end users, this study takes a preparatory step of consulting with Mediators in the field. These interviewees are familiar with eGranary’s technology and their users’ contexts, expectations and needs. The ultimate aim is to incorporate user opinions into eGranary re-designs. Findings from this research will contribute to better informing the structure, content

description: Three new rotenoids, named derieliptosides A-C (1–3), were isolated from the stems of Derris elliptica (Wall.) Benth. Their structures were determined by HR-ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopic methods. Absolute configurations of them were elucidated by analysis of ECD spectra in comparison with TD-DFT calculation. Compounds 1–3 inhibited the growth of fungus Candida albicans and selectively inhibited bacterial strains. Of these, compound 1 showed selective inhibition on the growth of Enterococcus faecalis (MIC: 37.5 µM and IC50: 10.6 µM), Staphylococcus aureus (MIC: 75 µM and IC50: 22.7 µM), and C. albicans (MIC: 37.5 µM and IC50: 11.2 µM).

description: This study aims at implementing the multi-criteria approach in the selection of the most suitable airport site in the province of Tuscia-Viterbo. After analysing 4 sites supposed feasible in principle, collecting data and other information on the different locations, the selection criteria have been defined as: proximity to urban settlements, logistic infrastructures, visibility and air manoeuvrability, investment costs, environmental constraints, geological suitability, flood risk, seismic risk. The Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) has been chosen as the most suitable methodology for selecting from pairwise comparison, the most appropriate site for the airport, considering all criteria put forward. At the end of the process, the best location comes out quite clearly as one site, which keeps at the top of the ranking, both in an eco-centric and anthropocentric vision. Not the same if we consider the whole ranking of the other sites, which differs quite substantially. All this shows the suitability of the AHP method and the software implemented in responding to the general socio-political context for choosing the most relevant site for a public work such as an airport.

description: In the definition of the investment programs, the available procedures for the selection of the projects introduce inefficiencies due to the incomplete use of the financings and to the impossibility to implement some pointers of performance when the projects are correlated. In the present research is developed and tested a model of discrete programming aimed to reduce these limits. With the use of the model is possible to select the project portfolio that achieves the objectives of the investment program and optimizes the employment of the available financings

Combining spectroscopic and photometric surveys using angular cross-correlations III: Galaxy bias and stochastisity

description: In the first paper of this series, we studied the effect of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), redshift space distortions (RSD) and weak lensing (WL) on measurements of angular cross-correlations in narrow redshift bins. Paper-II presented a multitracer forecast as Figures of Merit (FoM), combining a photometric and spectroscopic stage-IV survey. The uncertainties from galaxy bias, the way light traces mass, is an important ingredient in the forecast. Fixing the bias would increase our FoM equivalent to 3.3 times larger area for the combined constraints. This paper focus on how the modelling of bias affect these results. In the combined forecast, lensing both help and benefit from the improved bias measurements in overlapping surveys after marginalizing over the cosmological parameters. Adding a second lens population in counts-shear does not have a large impact on bias error, but removing all counts-shear information increases the bias error in a significant way. We also discuss the relative impact of WL, magnification, RSD and BAO, and how results change as a function of bias amplitude, photo-z error and sample density. By default we use one bias parameter per bin (with 72 narrow bins), but we show that the results do not change much when we use other parameterizations, with at least 3 parameters in total. Bias stochasticity, even when added as one new free parameter per bin, only produce moderate decrease in the FoM. In general, we find that the degradation in the figure of merit caused by the uncertainties in the knowledge of bias is significantly smaller for overlapping surveys.

description: This study demonstrates in vivo analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of hydroalcoholic extracts of leaves, bark and flowers from the Handroanthus impetiginosus (Bignoniaceae) plant, recognized as ‘Ipê roxo’ in Brazil. The extracts were evaluated in male Swiss albino mice via oral administration. Moreover, results of the in vivo paw oedema test induced by carrageenan revealed that extracts of leaves and bark displayed relevant anti-inflammatory activity potential at the dosage of 100 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg, and 500 mg/kg. Likewise, the results obtained for leaves and flowers extracts suggested potent analgesic action in the conventional hot plate test. UPLC/MS analysis of the hydroalcoholic extracts samples identified metabolites belonging to several classes, mainly naphthoquinones and iridoids derivatives as well as flavonoids. Thus, the obtained results indicate that the extracts of H. impetiginosus plant parts could be considered as a complementary herbal medicine for the treatment of pain and inflammation disorders.

description: Charge separation in light-harvesting complexes occurs in a pair of tightly coupled chlorophylls at the heart of photosynthetic reaction centers of both plants and bacteria. Recently it has been shown that quantum coherence can, in principle, enhance the efficiency of a solar cell, working like a quantum heat engine (QHE). Here, we propose a biological quantum heat engine (BQHE) motivated by Photosystem {\rm II} reaction center (PS{\rm II} RC) to describe the charge separation. Our model mainly considers two charge-separation pathways more than that in the published literature. The two pathways can interfere via cross-couplings and work together to enhance the charge-separation yields. We explore how these cross-couplings increase the current and voltage of the charge separation and discuss the advantages of multiple pathways in terms of current and power. The robustness of the BQHE against the charge recombination in natural PS{\rm II} RC and dephasing induced by environments is also explored, and extension from two pathways to multiple pathways is made. These results suggest that nature-mimicking architectures with engineered multiple pathways for charge separations might be better for artificial solar energy devices.
