description: We investigate the electronic structure of a twisted multilayer graphene system forming a moiré pattern. We consider small twist angles separating the graphene sheets and develop a low-energy theory to describe the coupling of Dirac Bloch states close to the K point in each individual plane. Extending beyond the bilayer case, we show that, when the ratio of the consecutive twist angles is rational, a periodicity emerges in quasimomentum space with moiré Bloch bands even when the system does not exhibit a crystalline lattice structure in real space. For a trilayer geometry, we find flat bands in the spectrum at certain rotation angles. Performing a symmetry analysis of the band model for the trilayer, we prove that the system is a perfect metal in the sense that it is gapless at all energies. This striking result originates from the three Dirac cones which can only gap in pairs and produce bands with an infinite connectivity. The full gapless property is protected by an emergent particle-hole symmetry valid at sufficiently small angles.

description: The elevated intracellular Ca2+ and oxidative stress are well-reported mechanisms behind renal tubular epithelial injury initiated by various insults. Given that TRPV4 and connexin43 (Cx43) channels are activated by a wide range of stimuli and regulate both intracellular Ca2+ and redox status, we speculated an involvement of these channels in renal tubular cell injury. Here, we tested this possibility and explored the potential underlying mechanisms. Our results demonstrated that exposure of renal tubular epithelial cells to aminoglycoside G418 led to cell death, which was attenuated by both TRPV4 and gap junction (Gj) inhibitor. Activation of TRPV4 caused cell damage, which was associated with an early increase in Cx43 expression and function. Inhibition of Cx43 with chemical inhibitor or siRNA largely prevented TRPV4 activation-induced cell damage. Further analysis revealed that TRPV4 agonists elicited a rise in intracellular Ca2+ and caused a Ca2+-dependent elevation in TXNIP (a negative regulator of the antioxidant thioredoxin). In the presence of Gj inhibitor, however, these effects of TRPV4 were largely prevented. The depletion of intracellular Ca2+ with Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM or downregulation of TXNIP with siRNA significantly alleviated TRPV4 activation-initiated cell injury. Collectively, our results point to a critical involvement of TRPV4/Cx43 channel interaction in renal tubular cell injury through mechanisms involving a synergetic induction of intracellular Ca2+ and oxidative stress. Channel interactions could be an important mechanism underlying cell injury. Targeting channels could have therapeutic potential for the treatment of acute tubular cell injury.

description: The native distribution of the yellow-legged hornet, Vespa velutina, is throughout East Asia. Around 15 years ago this species was accidentally introduced into South Korea and France, where it became established and then spread into neighbouring countries. Previous mitochondrial DNA studies showed that the South Korean, Japanese, and French populations all originated from Eastern China. Recently, the hornet has invaded Iki Island, Japan and Jersey Island, UK. In this study, we analyze the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of V. velutina to trace the origin of these two populations. The mitochondrial DNA haplotypes (COI, Cytb, and 16S rRNA) of V. velutina in Iki Island matched the unique haplotype present in China, South Korea, and Japan, while the haplotype from Jersey Island matched that of V. velutina found in France and China. These findings were supported by data from the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of V. velutina from Iki Island, which was consistent with the sequence from South Korea and Tsushima, whereas V. velutina in Jersey was most similar to the French population.

description: In cuprate superconductors, the doping of carriers into the parent Mott insulator induces superconductivity and various other phases whose characteristic temperatures are typically plotted versus the doping level $p$. In most materials, $p$ cannot be determined from the chemical composition, but it is derived from the superconducting transition temperature, $T_\mathrm{c}$, using the assumption that $T_\mathrm{c}$ dependence on doping is universal. Here, we present angle-resolved photoemission studies of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$, cleaved and annealed in vacuum or in ozone to reduce or increase the doping from the initial value corresponding to $T_\mathrm{c}=91$ K. We show that $p$ can be determined from the underlying Fermi surfaces and that $in-situ$ annealing allows mapping of a wide doping regime, covering the superconducting dome and the non-superconducting phase on the overdoped side. Our results show a surprisingly smooth dependence of the inferred Fermi surface with doping. In the highly overdoped regime, the superconducting gap approaches the value of $2Δ_0=(4\pm1)k_\mathrm{B}T_\mathrm{c}$

description: We consider a model of an inhomogeneous universe including a massless scalar field, where the inhomogeneity is assumed to consist of many black holes. This model can be constructed by following Lindquist and Wheeler, which has already been investigated without including scalar field to show that an averaged scale factor coincides with that of the Friedmann model. In this work we construct the inhomogeneous universe with an massless scalar field, where we assume that the averaged scale factor and scalar field are given by those of the Friedmann model including a scalar field. All of our calculations are carried out in the framework of Brans-Dicke gravity. In constructing the model of an inhomogeneous universe, we define the mass of a black hole in the Brans-Dicke expanding universe which is equivalent to ADM mass if the mass evolves adiabatically, and obtain an equation relating our mass to the averaged scalar field and scale factor. As the results we find that the mass has an adiabatic time dependence in a sufficiently late stage of the expansion of the universe, and that the time dependence is qualitatively diffenrent according to the sign of the curvature of the universe: the mass increases decelerating in the closed universe case, is constant in the flat case and decreases decelerating in the open case. It is also noted that the mass in the Einstein frame depends on time. Our results that the mass has a time dependence should be retained even in the general scalar-tensor gravitiy with a scalar field potential. Furthermore, we discuss the relation of our results to the uniqueness theorem of black hole spacetime and gravitational memory effect.

description: We present ALMA 1.3 mm (230 GHz) observations of the HD 32297 and HD 61005 debris disks, two of the most iconic debris disks due to their dramatic swept-back wings seen in scattered light images. These observations achieve sensitivities of 14 and 13 $μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$ for HD 32297 and HD 61005, respectively, and provide the highest resolution images of these two systems at millimeter wavelengths to date. By adopting a MCMC modeling approach, we determine that both disks are best described by a two-component model consisting of a broad ($ΔR/R> 0.4$) planetesimal belt with a rising surface density gradient, and a steeply falling outer halo aligned with the scattered light disk. The inner and outer edges of the planetesimal belt are located at $78.5\pm8.1$ AU and $122\pm3$ AU for HD 32297, and $41.9\pm0.9$ AU and $67.0\pm0.5$ AU for HD 61005. The halos extend to $440\pm32$ AU and $188\pm8$ AU, respectively. We also detect $^{12}$CO J$=2-1$ gas emission from HD 32297 co-located with the dust continuum. These new ALMA images provide observational evidence that larger, millimeter-sized grains may also populate the extended halos of these two disks previously thought to only be composed of small, micron-sized grains. We discuss the implications of these results for potential shaping and sculpting mechanisms of asymmetric debris disks.

description: The interaction between inflowing gas clouds and galactic outflows at the interface where the galactic disk transitions into the circumgalactic medium is an important process in galaxy fueling, yet remains poorly understood. Using a series of tall-box hydrodynamic ENZO simulations, we have studied the interaction between smooth gas inflow and supernovae-driven outflow at the disk-halo interface with pc-scale resolution. A realistic wind of outflowing material is generated by supernovae explosions in the disk, while inflowing gas is injected at the top boundary of the simulation box with an injection velocity ranging from $10-100 \rm \ km \ s^{-1}$. We find that cooling and hydrodynamic instabilities drive the injected gas to fragment into cold ($\sim 10^{3}$ K) cloud clumps with typical densities of $\sim 1 \rm \ cm^{-3}$. These clumps initially accelerate before interacting and partially mixing with the outflow and decelerating to velocities in the 50-100 $\rm km \ s^{-1}$ range. When the gas clumps hit the disk, $10\%-50 \%$ of the injected material is able to accrete (depending on the injection velocity). Clumps originating from gas injected with a higher initial velocity approach the disk with greater ram pressure, allowing them to penetrate through the disk in low density regions. We use (equilibrium) CLOUDY photoionization models to generate absorption and emission signatures of gas accretion, finding that our mock HI and H$α$ observables are prominent and generally consistent with measurements in the Milky Way. We do not predict enhanced emission/absorption for higher ionization states such as OVI.

description:
Background: Epidemiologic studies point to multiple health inequities among sexual minority people, but few studies have examined mortality. Some causes of death are more preventable than others, and access to prevention is theorized to follow patterns of access to social and material resources. The objective of this study is to compare estimates of preventable mortality between sexual minority (SM)-i.e., bisexual, lesbian, gay-and heterosexual adults in Canada. Methods: A population-based retrospective cohort with 442,260 (unweighted N) Canadian adults, ages 18-59 years, was drawn from the Canadian Community Health Survey/Canadian Mortality Database linked database (2003-2017). The Rutstein preventability rating index was used to classify cause-specific mortality (low/high). Longitudinal analyses were conducted using Cox proportional hazards models. Results: SM respondents had higher hazard of all-cause mortality (unadjusted hazard ratio [uHR] 1.28, 95% CI 1.06, 1.55). The uHR increased when the outcome was limited to highly-preventable causes of mortality (uHR 1.43, 95% CI 1.14, 1.80). The uHR further increased in sensitivity analyses using higher thresholds of the Rutstein index. SM respondents had higher hazard of cause-specific mortality for heart disease (uHR 1.53, 95% CI 1.03, 2.29), accidents (uHR 1.97, 95% CI 1.01, 3.86), HIV (uHR 75.69, 95% CI 18.77, 305.20), and suicide (uHR 2.22, 95% CI 0.93, 5.30) but not for cancer (uHR 0.86, 95% CI 0.60, 1.25). The adjusted HR (aHR) for highly-preventable mortality was not attenuated by adjustment for confounders (aHR 1.57, 95% CI 1.20, 2.05) but was reduced by adjustment for hypothesized mediators relating to access to social and material resources (marital status, children, income, education; aHR 1.11, 95% CI 0.78, 1.58). Conclusions: Preventable mortality was elevated for SM Canadians compared to heterosexuals. Early and broad access to sexual minority-affirming primary and preventive healthcare should be expanded.

description: The A901/2 system is a rare case of galaxy cluster interaction, in which two galaxy clusters and two smaller groups are seen in route of collision with each other simultaneously. Within each of the four substructures, several galaxies with features indicative of jellyfish morphologies have been observed. In this paper, we propose a hydrodynamic model for the merger as a whole, compatible with its diffuse X-ray emission, and correlate the gas properties in this model with the locations of the jellyfish galaxy candidates in the real system. We find that jellyfish galaxies seem to be preferentially located near a boundary inside each subcluster where diffuse gas moving along with the subcluster and diffuse gas from the remainder of the system meet. The velocity change in those boundaries is such that a factor of up to $\sim$1000 increase in the ram pressure takes place within a few hundred kpc, which could trigger the high rate of gas loss necessary for a jellyfish morphology to emerge. A theoretical treatment of ram pressure stripping in the environment of galaxy cluster mergers has not been presented in the literature so far; we propose that this could be a common scenario for the formation of jellyfish morphologies in such systems.

description: The existence of a Noether symmetry for a given minisuperspace cosmological model is a sort of selection rule to recover classical behaviours in cosmic evolution since oscillatory regimes for the wave function of the universe come out. The so called Hartle criterion to select correlated regions in the configuration space of dynamical variables can be directly connected to the presence of a Noether symmetry and we show that such a statement works for generic extended theories of gravity in the framework of minisuperspace approximation. Examples and exact cosmological solutions are given for nonminimally coupled and higher--order theories.

description: To investigate the detailed functions and underlying mechanisms of miR-518a-5p/CCR6 in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is needed. In this study, CCR6 expression levels were tested both in DLBCL cell lines and specimens. Through bioinformatics analysis and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) validation, CCR6’s targeted miRNA was obtained. Dual luciferase assay was used to verify their targeted relationship. Futhermore, using qRT-PCR, western blot, CCK8, Transwell assays, flow cytometry, pyrosequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and azacitidine/C646 treatment, the detailed functions and underlying mechanisms of CCR6 and its targeted miRNA in DLBCL were detected. We found that negative correlation existed between CCR6 and miR-518a-5p in DLBCL. Both up-regulated miR-518a-5p and down-regulated CCR6 inhibited cell proliferation and invasion in vitro. Experiment then verified the regulatory relationship between miR-518a-5p and CCR6. JAK2 and STAT6 levels were reduced in DLBCL cells transfected with miR-518a-5p mimic or CCR6 small interfering RNA. Interestingly, we showed for the first time that a hyper-methylated condition existed at the promoter region of miR-518a-5p and azacitidine changed levels of miR-518a-5p in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Finally, we found an enriched histone H3 on lysine 27 acetylation existed in the promoter of CCR6, whose expression could also be changed via C646 in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The above results suggest that miR-518a-5p-CCR6 feedback loop plays a critical role in DLBCL development. The overexpression of CCR6 is mainly mediated by epigenetic modification through transcriptional and post-transcriptional activation, which provides new directions for DLBCL treatment.

description: We estimate the significance of the prediction for the gauge couplings in the MSSM with an underlying unification. The correlation between the couplings covers only (0.2-2)% of the a priori reasonable region of the parameter space, while the prediction for $\sin ^{2}θ_{W}$ is accurate to 1.3%. Given that agreement with experiment to such precision is unlikely to be fortuitous, we discuss the profile of a string theory capable of preserving this level of accuracy. We argue that models with a low scale of unification involving power law running in the gauge couplings do not. Even theories with a high scale of unification are strongly constrained, requiring the compactification scale of new space dimensions in which states transforming under the Standard Model propagate to be very close to the string cut-off scale. As a result {\it no} new space dimensions can be larger than $10^{-14}fm.$

description: DNA barcoding constitutes a supplemental genetically based characterization tool for the identification of species. Traditionally, the barcodes are generated with a length of 650 bp using standardized Sanger sequencing, but with the introduction of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) methods new opportunities for sequencing are available. To use HTS for barcode collection and identification, the amplification of shorter fragments is preferred. Reference DNA midi-barcodes of wild bees were produced using the Illumina MiSeq as well as the Sanger method. Although DNA midi-barcodes derived from Illumina were comparatively shorter (418 bp), their sequences were coherent to the morphological assignment of species. The Illumina barcodes proved to be effective and dealt better with some general limitations of DNA barcoding.

description: The effects of quantum lattice fluctuations on the Peierls transition are studied within the one--dimensional Holstein molecular crystal model by means of exact diagonalization methods. Applying a very efficient variational Lanczos technique, the ground--state phase diagram is obtained in excellent agreement with predictions of recent density matrix renormalization group calculations. The transition to the charge--density--wave regime is signaled by a strong increase in the charge structure factor. In the metallic regime, the non--universal Luttinger liquid parameters (charge velocity and coupling constant) are deduced from a finite--size scaling analysis. The variational results are supported by a complete numerical solution of the quantum phonon Holstein model on small clusters, which is based on a well--controlled phonon Hilbert space truncation procedure. The metallic and charge--density--wave phases are characterized by significant differences in the calculated optical absorption spectra.

description: We investigated the discrepancy between planetary mass determination using the transit timing variations (TTVs) and radial velocities (RVs), by analysing the multi-planet system Kepler-9. Despite being the first system characterised with TTVs, there are several discrepant solutions in the literature, with those reporting lower planetary densities being apparently in disagreement with high-precision RV observations. To resolve this, we gathered HARPS-N RVs at epochs that maximised the difference between the predicted RV curves from discrepant solutions in the literature. We also re-analysed the full Kepler data-set and performed a dynamical fit, within a Bayesian framework, using the newly derived central and duration times of the transits. We compared these results with the RV data and found that our solution better describes the RV observations, despite the masses of the planets being nearly half that presented in the discovery paper. We therefore confirm that the TTV method can provide mass determinations that agree with those determined using high-precision RVs. The low densities of the planets place them in the scarcely populated region of the super-Neptunes / inflated sub-Saturns in the mass-radius diagram.

description: DNA and other biopolymers differ from classical polymers due to their torsional stiffness. This property changes the statistical character of their conformations under tension from a classical random walk to a problem we call the `torsional directed walk'. Motivated by a recent experiment on single lambda-DNA molecules [Strick et al., Science 271 (1996) 1835], we formulate the torsional directed walk problem and solve it analytically in the appropriate force regime. Our technique affords a direct physical determination of the microscopic twist stiffness C and twist-stretch coupling D relevant for DNA functionality. The theory quantitatively fits existing experimental data for relative extension as a function of overtwist over a wide range of applied force; fitting to the experimental data yields the numerical values C=120nm and D=50nm. Future experiments will refine these values. We also predict that the phenomenon of reduction of effective twist stiffness by bend fluctuations should be testable in future single-molecule experiments, and we give its analytic form.

description: The presence of dark matter has been ascertained through a wealth of astrophysical and cosmological phenomena and its nature is a central puzzle in modern science. Elementary particles stand as the most compelling explanation. They have been intensively searched for at underground laboratories looking for an energy recoil signal and at telescopes sifting for excess events in gamma-ray or cosmic-ray observations. In this work, we investigate a detection method based on spectroscopy measurements of neutron stars. We outline the luminosity and age of neutrons stars whose dark matter scattering off neutrons can heat neutron stars up to a measurable level. We show that in this case neutron star spectroscopy could constitute the best probe for dark matter particles over a wide masses and interactions strength.

description: We investigate the Cauchy problem for the Einstein - scalar field equations in asymptotically flat spherically symmetric spacetimes, in the standard 1+3 formulation. We prove the local existence and uniqueness of solutions for initial data given on a space-like hypersurface in the Sobolev $H_1\cap H_{1,4} $ space. Solutions exist globally if a central (integral) singularity does not form and/or outside an outgoing null hypersurface. An explicit example demonstrates that there exists a local evolution with a naked initial curvature singularity at the symmetry centre.

description: Many studies have shown that wooden buildings in general have a lower climate impact than buildings built of conventional materials such as concrete and steel. In Sweden, however, only about 10% of the multi-dwelling buildings are built with timber frames. The goal of this empirical study is to provide a broad picture of the views of Swedish actors regarding the use of wood products in multi-storey residential buildings and suggest measures for an increased use. A questionnaire concerning the use of wood products in construction was sent out to Swedish developers, main contractors, and architects and 100 answers were received. The study shows that the views of the groups of actors differ in some respects and factors that may either facilitate or be obstacles to an increased use of wood products were identified and discussed.

description: Decarbonizing the economy is one of the main ambitions for the European Union. The construction sector contributes to global warming, during all buildings life cycle phases. Greenhouse gas emissions are present in the whole process of construction, use/operation and dismissing/demolishing. The Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an evaluation approach to assess CO2 and other greenhouse gases emissions during the whole life cycle of a building or product. The aim of this paper is to test the LCA methodology for the evaluation of environmental impacts of historic buildings, towards a circular economy approach in the adaptive reuse of cultural heritage. The case study is an abandoned monastery in Salerno, Italy. Results show that LCA can effectively inform the design phase of cultural heritage adaptive reuse, comparing different conservation and design alternatives.

description: We investigate the mean-field phase diagram of the Bose-Hubbard model with infinite-range interactions in two dimensions. This model describes ultracold bosonic atoms confined by a two-dimensional optical lattice and dispersively coupled to a cavity mode with the same wavelength as the lattice. We determine the ground-state phase diagram for a grand-canonical ensemble by means of analytical and numerical methods. Our results mostly agree with the ones reported in Dogra et al. [PRA 94, 023632 (2016)], and have a remarkable qualitative agreement with the quantum Monte Carlo phase diagrams of Flottat et al. [PRB 95, 144501 (2017)]. The salient differences concern the stability of the supersolid phases, which we discuss in detail. Finally, we discuss differences and analogies between the ground state properties of strong long-range interacting bosons with the ones predicted for repulsively interacting dipolar bosons in two dimensions.

description: Higher-order corrections of Einstein-Hilbert action of general relativity can be recovered by imposing the existence of a Noether symmetry to a class of theories of gravity where Ricci scalar R and its d'Alembertian $\Box R$ are present. In several cases, it is possible to get exact cosmological solutions or, at least, to simplify dynamics by recovering constants of motion. The main result is that a Noether vector seems to rule the presence of higher-order corrections of gravitaty.

description: This paper studies a multi-echelon closed-loop supply chain network design problem that is characterised by a set of hybrid retailers/collection centres in a multi-period setting. This problem is motivated by the return-to-retail approach currently prevalent in the retail industry under the deposit return scheme. This paper proposes a mathematical programming model that integrates strategic decisions regarding the number and location of hybrid retailer/collection centre facilities, with dynamic decisions pertaining to manufacturing and remanufacturing/recycling, inventory level, and fleet size across the network. This optimisation problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming model to fulfil customers’ demands while minimising the total network costs. To solve the problem, a matheuristic solution approach is devised, incorporating Relax-and-Fix and Fix-and-Optimise heuristics augmented by novel relaxation and fixing strategies. We introduce an integrality test which accounts for possible rounding-off errors allowing a user-defined integer feasibility tolerance. Moreover, a variable partitioning is applied to shrink the problem’s dimensions and to shorten the search space. The latter is then iteratively updated to explore neighbourhoods within a given search radius size. To evaluate the validity and efficiency of the proposed model and the solution approach, 90 instances are generated using a case study within the geographical scope limited to the network of a retail chain in France. Numerical results show that the proposed solution method provides near-optimal solutions for small- and medium-size instances in a reasonable computational time and outperforms the commercial solver for large- and extra large-size problems. Managerial insights derived from the computational experiments regarding key performance indicators of the problem are presented and discussed.
