description: Systematic measurements of temperature dependent magnetization, resistivity and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) at ambient pressure as well as resistivity under pressures up to 5.25 GPa were conducted on single crystals of CrAuTe$_4$. Magnetization data suggest that magnetic moments are aligned antiferromagnetically along the crystallographic $c$-axis below $T_\textrm{N}$ = 255 K. ARPES measurements show band reconstruction due to the magnetic ordering. Magnetoresistance data show clear anisotropy, and, at high fields, quantum oscillations. The Neel temperature decreases monotonically under pressure, decreasing to $T_\textrm{N}$ = 236 K at 5.22 GPa. The pressure dependencies of (i) $T_\textrm{N}$, (ii) the residual resistivity ratio, and (iii) the size and power-law behavior of the low temperature magnetoresistance all show anomalies near 2 GPa suggesting that there may be a phase transition (structural, magnetic, and/or electronic) induced by pressure. For pressures higher than 2 GPa a significantly different quantum oscillation frequency emerges, consistent with a pressure induced change in the electronic states.

description: The concentrations of specific macromolecular species can be quantified using diagnostic tools that rely on molecular recognition by nucleic acid aptamers. One such approach involves the formation of osmium tetroxide 2,2'-bipyridine protein adducts, followed by electrochemical detection of analytes that bind specifically to electrode-tethered aptamers. In conjunction with a 27-mer DNA aptamer that binds specifically to exosite II on human alpha thrombin, this technique permits, in theory, a highly sensitive diagnostic tool for the quantification of serum thrombin levels. However, thrombin's aptamer binding site is lined by two tryptophan residues and the conjugation of bulky osmium groups to these residues weakens aptamer binding by an estimated 4 to 12 kcal/mol, undermining detection sensitivity. Therefore, we have rationally modified this DNA aptamer to strengthen its thrombin binding in the presence of conjugated osmium. Specifically, aptamers carrying long hydrophobic thymine derivatives in place of guanine 21 have binding affinities for osmium-conjugated thrombin that are enhanced by 10 to 15 kcal/mol, suggesting that these modified aptamers may be effective in a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the quantification of low concentrations of thrombin. Our approach of using molecular simulation to subtly re-engineer a DNA aptamer may be generally applicable for the optimization of other macromolecular binding interfaces.

description: We study the fermionic boundary modes (Andreev bound states) in a time-reversal invariant one-dimensional superconductor. In the presence of a substrate, spatial inversion symmetry is broken and the electronic properties are strongly affected by an antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling. We assume an arbitrary even number of nondegenerate bands crossing the Fermi level. We show that there is only one possible pairing symmetry in one dimension, an analog of s-wave pairing. The zero-energy Andreev bound states are present if the sign of the gap function in an odd number of bands is different from all other bands.

description: Adenosine deaminase is a zinc+2 dependent key enzyme of purine metabolism which irreversibly converts adenosine to inosine and form ammonia. Overexpression of adenosine deaminase has been linked to a variety of pathophysiological conditions such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes. In the case of a cell-mediated immune response, ADA is thought to be a marker, particularly in type II diabetes. Deoxycoformycin is the most potent ADA inhibitor that has been discovered so far, but it has several drawbacks, including being toxic and having poor pharmacokinetics. Taxifolin, a flavonoid derived from plants, was discovered to be a potent inhibitor of the human ADA (hADA) enzyme in the current study. Taxifolin bound at the active site of human ADA and showed fifty percent inhibition at a concentration of 400 µM against the enzyme. To better understand the interactions between taxifolin and human ADA, docking and molecular dynamic simulations were performed. In-silico studies using autodock revealed that taxifolin bound in the active site of human ADA with a binding energy of −7.4 kcal mol −1 and a theoretical Ki of 3.7 uM. Comparative analysis indicated that taxifolin and deoxycoformycin share a common binding space in the active site of human ADA and inhibit its catalytic activity similarly. The work emphasises the need of employing taxifolin as a lead chemical in order to produce a more precise and effective inhibitor of the human ADA enzyme with therapeutic potential.

description: In atoms spin-orbit coupling (SOC) cannot raise the angular momentum above a maximum value or lower it below a minimum. Here we show that this need not be the case in materials built from nanoscale structures including multi-nuclear coordination complexes, materials with decorated lattices, or atoms on surfaces. In such cyclic molecules the electronic spin couples to currents running around the molecule. For odd-fold symmetric molecules (e.g., odd membered rings) the SOC is highly analogous to the atomic case; but for even-fold symmetric molecules every angular momentum state can be both raised and lowered. These differences arise because for odd-fold symmetric molecules the maximum and minimum molecular orbital angular momentum states are time reversal conjugates, whereas for even-fold symmetric molecules they are aliases of the same single state. We show, from first principles calculations, that in suitable molecules this molecular SOC is large, compared to the energy differences between frontier molecular orbitals. Finally, we show that, when electronic correlations are strong, molecular SOC can cause highly anisotropic exchange interactions and discuss how this can lead to effective spin models with compass Hamiltonians.

description: The present ethnobotanical study unravelled the phenolic reservoir (UHPLC-MS/TQ-MS) and pharmacological activity (antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities) of an endemic plant, Achillea pseudoaleppica Hub.-Mor. (Asteraceae). The effective antioxidant properties of ethanol and water extracts of A. pseudoaleppica leaves were determined by using six different in vitro bioanalytical methods including three reducing antioxidant methods and three radical scavenging antioxidant methods. In the other step of the study, the enzyme inhibitory effects of water and ethanol extracts of A. pseudoaleppica were determined against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), α-amylase, and α-glucosidase enzymes. The ethanol extract was found to have effective inhibition potential for all four respected enzymes. The IC50 values of A. pseudoaleppica extract against AChE, BChE, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase enzymes were found to be 2.67 mg/mL, 4.55 mg/mL, 16.51 mg/mL, and 12.37 mg/mL, respectively. Also, UHPLC-MS/TQ-MS analyses revealed quinic acid as the most abundant phenolic compound of the water extract (31.12 ± 1.65 µg/mg) and ethanol extract (11.75 ± 0.82 µg/mg). In addition, the molecular docking interaction of the most abundant phenolic compound of A. pseudoaleppica (quinic acid) with AChE, BChE, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase target enzymes were evaluated using Chimera and AutoDock Vina softwares. In conclusion, the rich phenolic content and the potent antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory properties of A. pseudoaleppica extracts may support the widespread ethnobotanical use of the plant application.

description: We introduce a new set of symmetries obeyed by tree-level gauge-theory amplitudes involving at least one gluon. The symmetry acts as a momentum-dependent shift on the color factors of the amplitude. Using the radiation vertex expansion, we prove the invariance under this color-factor shift of the $n$-gluon amplitude, as well as amplitudes involving massless or massive particles in an arbitrary representation of the gauge group with spin zero, one-half, or one. The Bern-Carrasco-Johansson relations are a direct consequence of this symmetry. We also introduce the cubic vertex expansion of an amplitude, and use it to derive a generalized-gauge-invariant constraint on the kinematic numerators of the amplitude. We show that the amplitudes of the bi-adjoint scalar theory are invariant under the color-factor symmetry, and use this to derive the null eigenvectors of the propagator matrix. We generalize the color-factor shift to loop level, and prove the invariance under this shift of one-loop $n$-gluon amplitudes in any theory that admits a color-kinematic-dual representation of numerators. We show that the one-loop color-factor symmetry implies known relations among the integrands of one-loop color-ordered amplitudes.

Οι προσαρμογές στα συστήματα υγείας για την αντιμετώπιση της νέας υγειονομικής απειλής και οι χρόνιες ανεπάρκειες σε πολλά από αυτά είχαν ως αποτέλεσμα χιλιάδες ασθενείς να μην έχουν πρόσβαση σε αναγκαίες υπηρεσίες υγείας. Οι επιπτώσεις ήταν σημαντικά μεγαλύτερες στα πιο αδύναμα κοινωνικοοικονομικά στρώματα. Σημειώθηκε μεγάλη πλεονάζουσα θνησιμότητα, στην πλειονότητά της μη COVID-19 αιτιολογίας. Οι επιπτώσεις στις οδοντιατρικές υπηρεσίες παγκοσμίως ήταν, ομοίως, μεγάλες, με τα πιο αδύναμα κοινωνικοοικονομικά στρώματα να βιώνουν μεγαλύτερους αποκλεισμούς.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic had an enormous impact on health services worldwide. Adaptations of health systems to face the newborn threat combined with substantial preexisting shortages in funding, personnel and infrastructure. Thousands of patients lost access to health care services in varying degrees.The impact was much heavier for the lower socioeconomic strata. Significant excess mortality was detected with the majority of cases being of non-COVID-19 etiology. Likewise, dental services were heavily impacted in most countries, with the more economically and socially disadvantaged populations facing the biggest inequalities. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on dental services (scheduled appointments, emergency visits and dental anesthetics) in the dental department of “Agios Dimitrios” general hospital of Thessaloniki, Greece, during the first two years of the pandemic, in comparison to the prepandemic period. COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant reductions in the number of patients making use of the services of the department, with no signs of improvement two years after the outbreak. Major investment in public hospital and primary oral healthcare services is urgent in order to address the problem and meet the population’s needs.

description: Typische Ubiquitous-Computing-Umgebungen erfordern den Einsatz von Middleware, die in der Regel einen hohen Ressourcenbedarf an die teilnehmenden Geräte stellt. Jedoch befinden sich gerade in Ubiquitous-Computing-Umgebungen viele kleine, limitierte Geräte, die nur über geringe Ressourcen wie Rechenleistung, Arbeitsspeicher und Energie verfügen. In der Arbeit wird gezeigt, wie derart limitierte Geräte trotz ihrer Beschränkungen in Middleware-basierte Systeme integriert werden können. Dabei wird das Konzept der Geräte-Proxies verfolgt. Es wird gezeigt, wie Proxies für limitierte Geräte auf dynamische und transparente Weise bereitgestellt und ausgeführt werden können. Da Proxies und limitierte Geräte jedoch Seriensysteme bilden, wird durch den Einsatz des Proxy-Konzeptes die Ausfallwahrscheinlichkeit des Gesamtsystems erhöht. Aus diesem Grund werden im Rahmen der Arbeit geeignete Fehlertoleranzverfahren, wie die Migration von Proxies sowie die Anwendung von Rollback-Recovery-Protokollen untersucht. Anhand von Simulationen wird abschließend gezeigt, welche der betrachteten Rollback-Recovery-Protokolle sich für Proxy-basierte Systeme eignen.

Our goal is to study the intensity and polarization of the resonance radiation emerging from semi-infinite atmosphere. Using the known technique of resolvent matrices, we obtain the exact solution of vectorial radiative transfer equation for various sources of non-polarized radiation in semi-infinite atmosphere. Homogeneous, linear increasing and exponentially decreasing sources are considered. Recall, that homogeneous sources correspond to the isothermal atmosphere and the exponential ones correspond to the incident radiation with different angles of inclination.

description: Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) infection is an emergent zoonotic disease, where chronic hepatitis E associated to solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, related to genotype 3, is the clinical manifestation of major concern. In this setting, ribavirin (RBV) treatment is the only available therapy, though drug-resistant variants could emerge leading to a therapeutic failure. Crystallographic structures have not been reported for most of the HEV proteins, including the RNA-polymerase (RdRp). Therefore, the mechanism of action of RBV against HEV and the molecular interactions between this drug and RdRp are largely unknown. In this work, we aimed to model in silico the 3 D structure of a novel HEV3 RdRp (HEV_C1_Uy) from a chronically HEV infected-SOT recipient treated with RBV and to perform a molecular docking simulation between RBV triphosphate (RBVT), 7-methyl-guanosine-5'-triphosphate and the modelled protein. The models were generated using I-TASSER server and validated with multiple bioinformatics tools. The docking analysis were carried out with AutoDock Vina and LeDock software. We obtained a suitable model for HEV_C1_Uy (C-Score=-1.33, RMSD = 10.4 ± 4.6 Å). RBVT displayed a binding affinity of −7.6 ± 0.2 Kcal/mol by molecular docking, mediated by 6 hydrogen-bonds (Q195-O14, S198-O11, E257-O13, S260-O2, O3, S311-O11) between the finger’s-palm-domains and a free binding energy of 31.26 ± 16.81 kcal/mol by molecular dynamics simulations. We identified the possible HEV RdRp interacting region for incoming nucleotides or analogs and provide novel insights that will contribute to better understand the molecular interactions of RBV and the enzyme and the mechanism of action of this antiviral drug.

description: Räder mit weichelastischen Laufflächen verdrängen in logistischen Anwendungen aufgrund ihrer Laufruhe, guten Kraftübertragung und ihrer Fähigkeit, Stöße zu absorbieren, zunehmend Räder aus Stahl, Grauguss oder Aluminium. Bei den Bandagen von diesen Schwerlasträdern haben sich massive Polyurethane wegen ihrer besseren mechanischen gegenüber Kautschukprodukten durchgesetzt. Aufgrund des unterschiedlichen Dehnungsverhaltens des elastischen Belages und des metallischen Trägerkörpers ist die Fügezone zwischen beiden Komponenten eine Schwachstelle. Die Ablösung des Elastomerbelages eines Schwerlastrades von der Nabe ist eine der häufigsten Ausfallursachen, die unerwartet auftreten kann. Stillstandszeiten von logistischen Systemen oder Produktionsstätten können durch diesen unvorhergesehenen Ausfall zu großen wirtschaftlichen Schäden führen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird auf Basis experimenteller Untersuchungen ein Schädigungsmodell entwickelt, das den Ablösungsprozess der Polyurethanbandage von der metallischen Nabe in der Teilfuge von Schwerlasträdern beschreiben kann. Für diese Untersuchung werden mit Musterfehlern präparierte Räder hergestellt, die Delaminationen von definierter Größe aufweisen. Diese Räder werden bei unterschiedlichen Belastungsparametern auf einem dafür speziell entwickelten Versuchsstand belastet. Vor und nach den Belastungsintervallen wird die Teilfuge zwischen PUR-Bandage und Nabe mittels zerstörungsfreier Prüftechnik auf den Fortschritt der Delamination hin untersucht. Dabei werden Einflussfaktoren für ein Fortschreiten eines Fehlers in einem vorgeschädigten Rad identifiziert und quantifiziert. Aus den Ergebnissen der experimentellen Untersuchungen wird schließlich ein Schädigungsmodell abgeleitet, das unter definierten Randbedingungen Aussagen über den Ablösungsprozess erlaubt.

description: The small-scale environment characterized by the local density is known to play a crucial role in deciding the galaxy properties but the role of large-scale environment on galaxy formation and evolution still remain a less clear issue. We propose an information theoretic framework to investigate the influence of large-scale environment on galaxy properties and apply it to the data from the Galaxy Zoo project which provides the visual morphological classifications of $\sim 1$ million galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find a non-zero mutual information between morphology and environment which decreases with increasing length scales but persists throughout the entire length scales probed. We estimate the conditional mutual information and the interaction information between morphology and environment by conditioning the environment on different length scales and find a synergic interaction between them which operates upto at least a length scales of $ \sim 30 \, h^{-1}\, {\rm Mpc}$. Our analysis indicates that these interactions largely arise due to the mutual information shared between the environments on different length scales.

description: Under the rule of Saddam’s dictatorship during 1970s and 1980s huge part of the rural area in the Kurdish region of Iraq was destroyed and caused enormous internally displaced people and consequently most social structures as part of social capital were collapsed. In 1991, the Kurdish Peshmerga forces took control over a major part of the Kurdish region and tried to build their own institutions for reconstruction and development of the controlled area by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Lack of experiences in good governance and effective management has made the social reengineering very difficult and has also created an enabling environment for power abuse, corruption and misuse of public resources. The current rural-urban mass migration in the region is a clear indicator on the lack of effective institutional arrangements for rural community development. Increased corruption as a result of poor governance has put a question mark on the legitimacy and capability of the KRG to effectively deal with the development problems. This is the background on which this thesis has been written. To effectively deal with current development problems in the Kurdish region, Community Driven Development (CDD) strategies are proposed that operate on the principles of local empowerment, participatory governance, administrative autonomy, greater downward accountability and enhanced local capacity to use social capital effectively. The principles of good governance such as rule of law, participation, transparency, and accountability necessary to achieve sustainable local development are examined in a traditional and post-conflict society that face many challenges toward a real democracy. In this process the need for fundamental but incremental change in existing institutional structure to strengthen the rule of conduct and coordination of efforts are highlighted. The study emphasises the need to introduce the "participatory local governance" where political and institutional reforms are carried out to increase the capacity and authority of the local institutions. The study also introduces "communicative planning" to build network and partnership among local institutions, which as a legitimating process requires trust, consensus-building and democratic control to direct the development course of the society. The findings justify the need for political and institutional pluralism to promote local governance for sustainable CDD.

description: Graph monoids arise naturally in the study of non-stable K-theory of graph C*-algebras and Leavitt path algebras. They play also an important role in the current approaches to the realization problem for von Neumann regular rings. In this paper, we characterize when a finitely generated conical refinement monoid can be represented as a graph monoid. The characterization is expressed in terms of the behavior of the structural maps of the associated $I$-system at the free primes of the monoid.

description: The expatriates’ (expats) vote in the 2022 Lebanese parliamentary elections has been a frequently discussed
 topic, with respect to its impact on the results and the role it played in helping the Change
 Movement and independent groups secure additional seats.
 As part of a series of in-depth research papers on the 2022 parliamentary elections, the Electoral Lab at
 IFI drew an analysis of the voting trends of the Lebanese Expats or the Out of Country Vote (OCV) and
 developed important findings and conclusions, detailed in this paper.

description: We analyse global export data within the Economic Complexity framework. We couple the new economic dimension Complexity, which captures how sophisticated products are, with an index called logPRODY, a measure of the income of the respective exporters. Products' aggregate motion is treated as a 2-dimensional dynamical system in the Complexity-logPRODY plane. We find that this motion can be explained by a quantitative model involving the competition on the markets, that can be mapped as a scalar field on the Complexity-logPRODY plane and acts in a way akin to a potential. This explains the movement of products towards areas of the plane in which the competition is higher. We analyse market composition in more detail, finding that for most products it tends, over time, to a characteristic configuration, which depends on the Complexity of the products. This market configuration, which we called asymptotic, is characterized by higher levels of competition.

description: We study Dirichlet series enumerating orbits of Cartesian products of maps whose orbit distributions are modelled on the distributions of finite index subgroups of free abelian groups of finite rank. We interpret Euler factors of such orbit Dirichlet series in terms of generating polynomials for statistics on multiset permutations, viz. descent and major index, generalizing Carlitz's $q$-Eulerian polynomials. We give two main applications of this combinatorial interpretation. Firstly, we establish local functional equations for the Euler factors of the orbit Dirichlet series under consideration. Secondly, we determine these (global) Dirichlet series' abscissae of convergence and establish some meromorphic continuation beyond these abscissae. As a corollary, we describe the asymptotics of the relevant orbit growth sequences. For Cartesian products of more than two maps we establish a natural boundary for meromorphic continuation. For products of two maps, we prove the existence of such a natural boundary subject to a combinatorial conjecture.

description: Understanding the microscopic mechanism of coexisting long-range orders (such as lattice supersolidity) in strongly correlated systems is a subject of immense interest. We study the possible manifestations of long-range orders, including lattice-supersolid phases with differently broken symmetry, in a two-dimensional square lattice system of hard-core bosons (HCBs) coupled to archetypal cooperative/coherent normal-mode distortions such as those in perovskites. At strong HCB-phonon coupling, using a duality transformation to map the strong-coupling problem to a weak-coupling one, we obtain an effective Hamiltonian involving nearest-neighbor, next-nearest-neighbor, and next-to-next-nearest-neighbor hoppings and repulsions. Using stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo, we construct the phase diagram of the system. As coupling strength is increased, we find that the system undergoes a first-order quantum phase transition from a superfluid to a checkerboard solid at half filling and from a superfluid to a diagonal striped solid [with crystalline ordering wavevector $\vec{Q}=(2π/3,2π/3)$ or $(2π/3,4π/3)$] at one-third filling without showing any evidence of supersolidity. On tuning the system away from these commensurate fillings, checkerboard supersolid is generated near half filling whereas a rare diagonal striped supersolid is realized near one-third filling. Interestingly, there is an asymmetry in the extent of supersolidity about one-third filling. Within our framework, we also provide an explanation for the observed checkerboard and stripe formations in ${\rm La}_{2-x}{\rm Sr}_x{\rm NiO_4}$ at $x=1/2$ and $x=1/3$.

description: Η έκθεση σε στρες κατά τη διάρκεια των πρώτων χρόνων της ζωής ενός ατόμου έχει αρνητικό αντίκτυπο στη συμπεριφορά αλλά και σε δείκτες εγκεφαλικής λειτουργίας. Σύμφωνα με πλήθος ερευνών, παιδιά που εκτέθηκαν σε στρεσογόνες καταστάσεις, όπως η παιδική κακοποίηση ή παραμέληση, είναι ευάλωτα στην εκδήλωση γνωστικών ελλειμμάτων και διαταραχών διάθεσης (π.χ., άγχος, κατάθλιψη). Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η αφηγηματική ανασκόπηση ευρημάτων σχετικά με τις επιπτώσεις του πρώιμου στρες στις εκτελεστικές λειτουργίες του ατόμου. Παράλληλα, θα παρουσιαστούν οι βασικές νευροανατομικές και λειτουργικές αλλαγές που έχουν εντοπιστεί σε εγκεφαλικές δομές οι οποίες θεωρούνται ότι αποτελούν τη βιολογική βάση των εκτελεστικών λειτουργιών.
description: The exposure to stress during the first years of life has a negative impact on the behavior but also on the brain function. According to many surveys, the children who were exposed to stressful conditions, like child maltreatment or neglect, are vulnerable to display cognitive deficits and mood disorders (for example, anxiety, depression). The target of the present essay is the narrative review of findings concerning the effects of early life stress on the executive functions of an individual. Moreover, there will be presented the basic neuroanatomic and functional changes which have been found in brain regions that are considered to be the biological basis of the executive functions.
