description: We report rotation periods for 20 cool (FGK) main sequence member stars of the 4 Gyr-old open cluster M 67 (= NGC 2682), obtained by analysing data from Campaign 5 of the K2 mission with the Kepler Space Telescope. The rotation periods delineate a sequence in the color-period diagram (CPD) of increasing period with redder color. This sequence represents a cross-section at the cluster age of the surface P = P (t, M), suggested in prior work to extend to at least solar age. The current Sun is located marginally (approx. one sigma) above M 67 in the CPD, as its relative age leads us to expect, and lies on the P = P (t, M) surface to within measurement precision. We therefore conclude that the solar rotation rate is normal, as compared with cluster stars, a fact which strengthens the solar-stellar connection. The agreement between the M\,67 rotation period measurements and prior predictions further implies that rotation periods, especially when coupled with appropriate supporting work such as spectroscopy, can provide reliable ages via gyrochronology for other similar FGK dwarfs from the early main sequence to solar age and likely till the main sequence turnoff. The M 67 rotators have a rotational age of 4.2 Gyr, with a standard deviation of 0.7 Gyr, implying that similar field stars can be age-dated to precisions of ~17%. The rotational age of the M 67 cluster as a whole is therefore 4.2 Gyr, but with a lower (averaged) uncertainty of 0.2 Gyr.

description: Inspired by the experimental measurement of the Renyi entanglement entropy in a lattice of ultracold atoms by Islam et al., [Nature 528, 77 (2015)] we propose a method to entangle two spatially-separated qubits using the quantum many-body state as a resource. Through local operations accessible in an experiment, entanglement is transferred to a qubit register from atoms at the ends of a one-dimensional chain. We compute the operational entanglement, which bounds the entanglement physically transferable from the many-body resource to the register, and discuss a protocol for its experimental measurement. Finally, we explore measures for the amount of entanglement available in the register after transfer, suitable for use in quantum information applications.

description: String diagrams are a powerful and intuitive graphical syntax for terms of symmetric monoidal categories (SMCs). They find many applications in computer science and are becoming increasingly relevant in other fields such as physics and control theory. An important role in many such approaches is played by equational theories of diagrams, typically oriented and applied as rewrite rules. This paper lays a comprehensive foundation of this form of rewriting. We interpret diagrams combinatorially as typed hypergraphs and establish the precise correspondence between diagram rewriting modulo the laws of SMCs on the one hand and double pushout (DPO) rewriting of hypergraphs, subject to a soundness condition called convexity, on the other. This result rests on a more general characterisation theorem in which we show that typed hypergraph DPO rewriting amounts to diagram rewriting modulo the laws of SMCs with a chosen special Frobenius structure. We illustrate our approach with a proof of termination for the theory of non-commutative bimonoids.

description: We developed 1,3-diynyl derivatives of noscapine (an opium alkaloid) through in silico combinatorial approach and screened out a panel of promising derivatives that bind tubulin and display anticancer activity. The selected derivatives such as 9-4-tBu-Ph-Diyne (20p), 9-3,4-Di-Cl-Diyne (20k) and 9-3,4-Di-F-Diyne (22s) noscapinoids revealed improved predicted binding energy of −6.676 kcal/mol for 20p, −7.294 kcal/mol for 20k and −7.750 kcal/mol for 20s respectively in comparison to noscapine (−5.246 kcal/mol). These 1,3-diynyl derivatives (20p, 29k and 20s) were strategically synthesized in high yields by regioselective modification of noscapine scaffold and HPLC purified (purity is >96%). The decrease in intrinsic fluorescence of purified tubulin to 8.39%, 17.39% and 25.47% by 20p, 20k and 20s respectively, compared to control suggests their binding capability to tubulin. Their cytotoxicity activity was validated based on cellular studies using two human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231), a panel of primary breast tumor cells and one normal human embryonic kidney cell (293 T). The 1,3-diynyl noscapinoids, 20p, 20k and 20s inhibited cellular proliferation in all the cancer cells that ranged between 6.2 and 38.9 µM, without affecting the normal healthy cells (cytotoxicity is <5% at 100 µM). Further, these novel derivatives arrest cell cycle in the G2/M-phase, followed by induction of apoptosis to cancer cells. Thus, we conclude that 1,3-diynyl-noscapinoids have great potential to be a novel therapeutic agent for breast cancers. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: In this paper, we present a concurrent implementation of a powerful topological thinning operator. This operator is able to act directly over grayscale images without modifying their topology. We introduce an adapted parallelization methodology which combines split, distribute and merge (SDM) strategy and mixed parallelism techniques (data and thread parallelism). The introduced strategy allows efficient parallelization of a large class of topological operators including, mainly, λ-leveling, skeletonization and crest restoring algorithms. To achieve a good speedup, we cared about coordination of threads. Distributed work during thinning process is done by a variable number of threads. Tests on 2D grayscale image (512*512), using shared memory parallel machine (SMPM) with 8 CPU cores (2x Xeon E5405 running at frequency of 2 GHz), showed an enhancement of 6.2 with a maximum achieved cadency of 125 images/s using 8 threads.

description: The study examines major problems affecting the establishment of small scale cooperative societies' businesses in Cross River State. Two research questions guided the study. The survey design was adopted. The population of the study comprised 300 Cooperators within the study area. A purposive sampling technique was used to draw up 160 cooperators for the study. A structured questionnaire designed by the researchers was used to collect data for the study. The instrument was validated by three experts from Science Education. The reliability data obtained were analyzed using Cronbach Alpha reliability method and reliability coefficient of 0.99 was obtained. Data obtained were analyzed using mean and percentage. Results of the analysis revealed that poor management abilities, and lack of adequate business information to cooperators constitute major setback in the establishment of small-scale business cooperative societies in Cross River State. Based on the findings, it was recommended, among others, that government should review cooperative management policies.

description: The indications of a possible pion condensation at the LHC are summarized. The condensation is predicted by the non-equilibrium hadronization model for 2.76 TeV Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. The model solves the proton/pion puzzle and reproduces the low $p_T$ enhancement of the pion spectra, as well as the spectra of protons and antiprotons, charged kaons, $K^0_S$, $K^*(892)^0$ and $ϕ(1020)$. The obtained parameters allow to estimate the amount of pion condensate on the level of 5\% from the total number of pions at the LHC. The condensate is located at $p_T<250$ MeV.

description: We use numerical simulations and an effective-medium theory to study the rigidity percolation transition of the honeycomb and diamond lattices when weak bond-bending forces are included. We use a rotationally invariant bond-bending potential, which, in contrast to the Keating potential, does not involve any stretching. As a result, the bulk modulus does not depend on the bending stiffness $κ$. We obtain scaling functions for the behavior of some elastic moduli in the limits of small $Δ\mathcal{P} = 1 - \mathcal{P}$, and small $δ\mathcal{P} = \mathcal{P} - \mathcal{P}_c$, where $\mathcal{P}$ is an occupation probability of each bond, and $\mathcal{P}_c$ is the critical probability at which rigidity percolation occurs. We find good quantitative agreement between effective-medium theory and simulations for both lattices for $\mathcal{P}$ close to one.

Transnational identities in practice: Lebanese Turkmens between Turkey’s adhocratic governance and Lebanese disinvestment
Creators: name: Di Peri, Rosita
name: Maritato, Chiara
Publisher: name: De Europa
Year: 2024

description: The article explores the transnational dimension of adhocratic governance through the case study of the Turkmen community in Lebanon, a marginal and seemingly insignificant group, especially from a demographic point of view. It investigates how Turkey’s and Lebanon’s governance of Turkmen communities has evolved over the past few decades and what this reveals about how the Turkmen’s transnational identities operate in practice. Drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted by the authors in both Lebanon and Turkey, the paper contends that in recent years, Turkey has implemented ad hoc strategies towards Turkmen communities, influencing their transnational identification practices. While Lebanon has disengaged from the management of a population living in marginal yet strategically relevant areas, Turkey has framed its foreign policy in terms of cultural-religious kinship and pragmatism. Both political processes are continually characterised by competing bundles of identifications, which temporarily and incompletely acquire a privileged status in (especially foreign policy) decision-making.

description: Repurposing existing drugs, as well as natural and artificial sweeteners for novel therapeutic indications could speed up the drug discovery process since numerous associated risks and costs for drug development can be surpassed. In this study, natural and artificial sweeteners have been evaluated by in silico and experimental studies for their potency to inhibit lipoxygenase enzyme, an enzyme participating in the inflammation pathway. A variety of different methods pinpointed that aspartame inhibits the lipoxygenase isoform 1 (LOX-1). In particular, “LOX-aspartame” complex, that was predicted by docking studies, was further evaluated by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations in order to assess the stability of the complex. The binding energy of the complex has been calculated after MD simulations using Molecular Mechanics/Generalized Born Surface Area (MM/GBSA) method. Furthermore, Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) calculations have been applied for geometry optimization of the “enzyme-ligand” complex. After having fully characterized the “LOX-aspartame” complex in silico, followed in vitro biological assays confirmed that aspartame inhibits LOX-1 (IC50=50 ± 3.0 μΜ) and blocks its biological response. The atomic details of aspartame’s interaction profile with LOX-1 were revealed through Saturation Transfer Difference (STD) NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance). Finally, aspartame was also tested with Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics studies for its potent binding to a number of different LOX isoforms of many organisms, including human. The in silico methods indicated that aspartame could serve as a novel starting point for drug design against LOX enzyme. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
Regimes of fear in Lebanon: perspectives from the borderlands
Creators: name: Meier, Daniel
Publisher: name: De Europa
Year: 2024

description: What are the current dominant threats and fears in Lebanon? How do the borderland communities perceive
these threats, and how are they impacting their identity construction? This paper explores the interplay among
identity, borders, and fear by examining three regimes of fear that are dominant narratives provided by state
institutions and Hezbollah: the threat posed by Israel, Salafi-jihadists, and Syrian refugees. These regimes
resonate differently in the Northern, Eastern, and Southern borderlands. Interviews with local residents reveal
a shared but unnamed fear of marginalization while also highlighting an alternative identity construction in
each of the borderland regions.

description: SARS-CoV-2 is a pandemic virus that caused infections and deaths in many world countries, including the Middle East. The virus-infected human cells by binding via ACE-2 receptor through the Spike protein of the virus with Furin's help causing cell membrane fusion leading to Covid-19-cell entry. No registered drugs or vaccines are triggering this pandemic viral disease yet. Our present work is based on molecular docking and dynamics simulation that performed to spike protein-ACE-2 interface complex, ACE-2 receptor, Spike protein (RBD), and Furin as targets for new small molecules. These drugs target new potential therapies to show their probabilities toward the active sites of mentioned proteins, strongly causing inhibition and/or potential therapy for covid-19. All target proteins were estimated against new target compounds under clinical trials and repurposing drugs currently present. Possibilities of those molecules and potential therapeutics acting on a certain target were predicted. MD simulations over 200 ns with molecular mechanics-generalized Born surface area (MMGBSA) binding energy calculations were performed. The structural and energetic analyses demonstrated the stability of the ligands-MPros complex. Our present work will introduce new visions of some biologically active molecules for further studies in-vitro and in-vivo for Covid-19, repurposing of these molecules should be taking place under clinical works and offering different strategies for drugs repurposing against Covid-19 diseases.

Cosmic Reionization On Computers: Numerical and Physical Convergence

description: In this paper I show that simulations of reionization performed under the Cosmic Reionization On Computers (CROC) project do converge in space and mass, albeit rather slowly. A fully converged solution (for a given star formation and feedback model) can be determined at a level of precision of about 20%, but such a solution is useless in practice, since achieving it in production-grade simulations would require a large set of runs at various mass and spatial resolutions, and computational resources for such an undertaking are not yet readily available. In order to make progress in the interim, I introduce a weak convergence correction factor in the star formation recipe, which allows one to approximate the fully converged solution with finite resolution simulations. The accuracy of weakly converged simulations approaches a comparable, ~20% level of precision for star formation histories of individual galactic halos and other galactic properties that are directly related to star formation rates, like stellar masses and metallicities. Yet other properties of model galaxies, for example, their HI masses, are recovered in the weakly converged runs only within a factor of two.

description: Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) is a classical technique of physical biochemistry providing information on size, shape, and interactions of macromolecules from the analysis of their migration in centrifugal fields while free in solution. A key mechanical element in AUC is the centerpiece, a component of the sample cell assembly that is mounted between the optical windows to allow imaging and to seal the sample solution column against high vacuum while exposed to gravitational forces in excess of 300,000 g. For sedimentation velocity it needs to be precisely sector-shaped to allow unimpeded radial macromolecular migration. During the history of AUC a great variety of centerpiece designs have been developed for different types of experiments. Here, we report that centerpieces can now be readily fabricated by 3D printing at low cost, from a variety of materials, and with customized designs. The new centerpieces can exhibit sufficient mechanical stability to withstand the gravitational forces at the highest rotor speeds and be sufficiently precise for sedimentation equilibrium and sedimentation velocity experiments. Sedimentation velocity experiments with bovine serum albumin as a reference molecule in 3D printed centerpieces with standard double-sector design result in sedimentation boundaries virtually indistinguishable from those in commercial double-sector epoxy centerpieces, with sedimentation coefficients well within the range of published values. The statistical error of the measurement is slightly above that obtained with commercial epoxy, but still below 1%. Facilitated by modern open-source design and fabrication paradigms, we believe 3D printed centerpieces and AUC accessories can spawn a variety of improvements in AUC experimental design, efficiency and resource allocation.

description: In this paper a mass dimension one fermionic sigma model, realized by the eigenspinors of the charge conjugation operator with dual helicity (Elko spinors), is developed. Such spinors are chosen as a specific realization of mass dimension one spinors, wherein the non-commutative fermionic feature is ruled by torsion. Moreover, we analyse Elko spinors as a source of matter in a background in expansion. Moreover, we analyse Elko spinors as a source of matter in a background in expansion and we have found that such kind of mass dimension one fermions can serve not only as dark matter but they also induce an effective cosmological constant.

A Matter of Identity? State legitimacy between space control and adhocratic governance

Year: 2024

description: The spread of identity politicisation has revitalised the debate over the nature and transformations of the State and its role in the international arena. This shift has also underscored the importance of identity assumed in international relations (IR) as it offers an alternative to the traditional realist-rationalist vocabulary. Grounded on a counter-substantialist approach to identity the Special Issue moves the gaze from identity to identification processes. Identity as an essential object that explains actions fails to capture the constitutive relationship between actors’ identities and the social contexts in which they emerge. Consequently, the notion of individual or state identity as a foundation for actions is replaced by a process involving multiple acts of identification that occur in specific contexts and periods. How do identities, both as “identities in practice” and as given and abstract objects, influence states’ domestic and foreign governance?
To answer this overarching question, the Special Issue draws on two interrelated notions of identity: as bundles of actions of identification that acquire temporarily privileged status in specific discourses and as a causal variable in IR that explains why states act in certain ways. This dual analytical lens allows to examine (1) the centrality of space and time in debates on how identity has contributed to redefining the role of the State domestically and its relationships in the international arena and (2) the extent and ways in which ad hoc measures at the micro-scale of identification processes influence the macro-level identity–legitimacy nexus. This framework aligns identity studies with the concept of “adhocracy”, defined in bureaucracy and policy studies as either an intentional institutional setup or an unintentional outcome of policy implementation.

Forward-backward quasi-Newton methods for nonsmooth optimization problems

description: The forward-backward splitting method (FBS) for minimizing a nonsmooth composite function can be interpreted as a (variable-metric) gradient method over a continuously differentiable function which we call forward-backward envelope (FBE). This allows to extend algorithms for smooth unconstrained optimization and apply them to nonsmooth (possibly constrained) problems. Since the FBE and its gradient can be computed by simply evaluating forward-backward steps, the resulting methods rely on the very same black-box oracle as FBS. We propose an algorithmic scheme that enjoys the same global convergence properties of FBS when the problem is convex, or when the objective function possesses the Kurdyka-Łojasiewicz property at its critical points. Moreover, when using quasi-Newton directions the proposed method achieves superlinear convergence provided that usual second-order sufficiency conditions on the FBE hold at the limit point of the generated sequence. Such conditions translate into milder requirements on the original function involving generalized second-order differentiability. We show that BFGS fits our framework and that the limited-memory variant L-BFGS is well suited for large-scale problems, greatly outperforming FBS or its accelerated version in practice. The analysis of superlinear convergence is based on an extension of the Dennis and Moré theorem for the proposed algorithmic scheme.
