The theory and practice of computational errors
Creators: name: Formanek, Nico
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This talk offers a taxonomy of computing errors based on the level of control we have over the computing method. Error control can be achieved by theoretical, mathematical means but also by practical engineering means. It is far from clear that theoretical error control is epistemically superior to its pragmatic cousin. To underline this point several successful and widely employed computing methods where only pragmatic error control is achieved are examined
Measurements of the W production cross sections in association with jets with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper presents cross sections for the production of a W boson in association with jets, measured in proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. With an integrated luminosity of $4.6 fb^{-1}$, this data set allows for an exploration of a large kinematic range, including jet production up to a transverse momentum of 1 TeV and multiplicities up to seven associated jets. The production cross sections for W bosons are measured in both the electron and muon decay channels. Differential cross sections for many observables are also presented including measurements of the jet observables such as the rapidities and the transverse momenta as well as measurements of event observables such as the scalar sums of the transverse momenta of the jets. The measurements are compared to numerous QCD predictions including next-to-leading-order perturbative calculations, resummation calculations and Monte Carlo generators.

description: Directly imaging Earth-like exoplanets (``exoEarths'') with a coronagraph instrument on a space telescope requires a stable wavefront with optical path differences limited to tens of picometers RMS during exposure times of a few hours. While the structural dynamics of a segmented mirror can be directly stabilized with telescope metrology, another possibility is to use a closed-loop wavefront sensing and control system in the coronagraph instrument that operates during the science exposures to actively correct the wavefront and relax the constraints on the stability of the telescope. In this paper, we present simulations of the temporal filtering provided using the example of LUVOIR-A, a 15~m segmented telescope concept. Assuming steady-state aberrations based on a finite element model of the telescope structure, we (1)~optimize the system to minimize the wavefront residuals, (2)~ use an end-to-end numerical propagation model to estimate the residual starlight intensity at the science detector, and (3)~predict the number of exoEarth candidates detected during the mission. We show that telescope dynamic errors of 100~pm~RMS can be reduced down to 30~pm~RMS with a magnitude 0 star, improving the contrast performance by a factor of 15. In scenarios where vibration frequencies are too fast for a system that uses natural guide stars, laser sources can increase the flux at the wavefront sensor to increase the servo-loop frequency and mitigate the high temporal frequency wavefront errors. For example, an external laser with an effective magnitude of -4 allows the wavefront from a telescope with 100~pm~RMS dynamic errors and strong vibrations as fast as 16~Hz to be stabilized with residual errors of 10~pm~RMS thereby increasing the number of detected planets by at least a factor of 4.

The objectives of this study were to define the incidence of assault-related injuries among subjects presenting for emergency room care secondary to sustained trauma in Lilongwe, Malawi; to measure the impact of sex on incidence, injury type, and care received; and to measure the effect of both sex and geographic location of the injury on time to presentation for medical care.
Resurgent Transseries and the Holomorphic Anomaly: Nonperturbative Closed Strings in Local CP2

description: The holomorphic anomaly equations describe B-model closed topological strings in Calabi-Yau geometries. Having been used to construct perturbative expansions, it was recently shown that they can also be extended past perturbation theory by making use of resurgent transseries. These yield formal nonperturbative solutions, showing integrability of the holomorphic anomaly equations at the nonperturbative level. This paper takes such constructions one step further by working out in great detail the specific example of topological strings in the mirror of the local CP2 toric Calabi-Yau background, and by addressing the associated (resurgent) large-order analysis of both perturbative and multi-instanton sectors. In particular, analyzing the asymptotic growth of the perturbative free energies, one finds contributions from three different instanton actions related by Z_3 symmetry, alongside another action related to the Kahler parameter. Resurgent transseries methods then compute, from the extended holomorphic anomaly equations, higher instanton sectors and it is shown that these precisely control the asymptotic behavior of the perturbative free energies, as dictated by resurgence. The asymptotic large-order growth of the one-instanton sector unveils the presence of resonance, i.e., each instanton action is necessarily joined by its symmetric contribution. The structure of different resurgence relations is extensively checked at the numerical level, both in the holomorphic limit and in the general nonholomorphic case, always showing excellent agreement with transseries data computed out of the nonperturbative holomorphic anomaly equations. The resurgence relations further imply that the string free energy displays an intricate multi-branched Borel structure, and that resonance must be properly taken into account in order to describe the full transseries solution.

description: La forme scolaire que nous observons actuellement dans les classes date de la fin du 19ème siècle. Elle n’a pas changé ou très peu depuis cette date. Or les intentions didactiques des « éducations à » préconisent une nouvelle forme scolaire. En effet, la forme scolaire actuelle ne permet pas de faire de l’éducation en vue du développement durable, car les grilles horaires structurées ne traduisent pas la complexité des problèmes du DD. Dans notre travail, nous avons souhaité renouveler la forme scolaire en introduisant une question socialement vive qui sollicite le regard de trois disciplines. C’est en proposant des espaces transdisciplinaires et des questions socialement vives que l’école devient un lieu d’apprentissage de la citoyenneté. Pour y parvenir, les enseignants dévoluent les tâches afin que les apprenants participent activement aux prises de décisions communes. Dans notre recherche, nous avons pu prouver que le renouvellement de la forme scolaire peut avoir un impact sur le processus de dévolution quand un enseignant met en place une EDD. Le maître, par sa nouvelle posture de guide, est capable de dévoluer les tâches aux apprenants. Ces derniers ont pris en charge la matière et ils ont essayé de trouver des solutions pour l’avenir de l’agriculture lors d’un débat. Néanmoins, nos résultats ont montré que les élèves ont fait peu de liens entre les différentes disciplines scolaires.

description: An increasing number of case series of robot-assisted radical cystectomy describe complication rates comparable to open series. Conflicting reports describe various pre-operative factors as predictors of post-operative complications. Furthermore, learning curves complicate these predictors and should also be taken into account. Despite these variables, there are a number of considerations, including patient selection, peri-operative care pathway, intra-operative technique and equipment choice that we have found to decrease post-operative complications and improve patient outcomes. In this topic paper, we briefly review the literature surrounding complication rates following robot-assisted radical cystectomy as well as describe our experience after >250 cases, outlining our suggestions for avoidance of surgical complications when building a practice that incorporates this technique.

description: Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the leading cause of cervical cancer, and vaccination with HPV L1 capsid proteins has been successful in controlling it. However, vaccination coverage is not universal, particularly in developing countries, where 80% of all cervical cancer cases occur. Cost-effective vaccination could be achieved by expressing the L1 protein in plants. Various efforts have been made to produce the L1 protein in plants, including attempts to express it in chloroplasts for high-yield performance. However, manipulating chloroplast gene expression requires complex and difficult-to-control expression elements. In recent years, a family of nuclear-encoded, chloroplast-targeted RNA-binding proteins, the pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins, were described as key regulators of chloroplast gene expression. For example, PPR proteins are used by plants to stabilize and translate chloroplast mRNAs. Objectives: To demonstrate that a PPR target site can be used to drive HPV L1 expression in chloroplasts. Methods: To test our hypothesis, we used biolistic chloroplast transformation to establish tobacco lines that express two variants of the HPV L1 protein under the control of the target site of the PPR protein CHLORORESPIRATORY REDUCTION2 (CRR2). The transgenes were inserted into a dicistronic operon driven by the plastid rRNA promoter. To determine the effectiveness of the PPR target site for the expression of the HPV L1 protein in the chloroplasts, we analyzed the accumulation of the transgenic mRNA and its processing, as well as the accumulation of the L1 protein in the transgenic lines. Results: We established homoplastomic lines carrying either the HPV18 L1 protein or an HPV16B Enterotoxin::L1 fusion protein. The latter line showed severe growth retardation and pigment loss, suggesting that the fusion protein is toxic to the chloroplasts. Despite the presence of dicistronic mRNAs, we observed very little accumulation of monocistronic transgenic mRNA and no significant increase in CRR2-associated small RNAs. Although both lines expressed the L1 protein, quantification using an external standard suggested that the amounts were low. Conclusions: Our results suggest that PPR binding sites can be used to drive vaccine expression in plant chloroplasts; however, the factors that modulate the effectiveness of target gene expression remain unclear. The identification of dozens of PPR binding sites through small RNA sequencing expands the set of expression elements available for high-value protein production in chloroplasts.

description: Software testing is vital to improve software quality. However, software tester role is stigmatized, partly due to misperception and partly due to the treatment of the testing process within the software industry. The present study analyses this situation aiming to explore what might inhibit an individual from taking up a software testing career. In order to investigate this issue, we surveyed 132 senior students pursuing degrees in information systems, information and communication technology, computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, and other closely-related disciplines at three universities in the United Arab Emirates: two publicly funded and one top-notch private university. The students were asked to describe the PROs and CONs of taking up a career in software testing and to ponder the likelihood that they would take up the career themselves. The study identified 7 main PROs and 9 main CONSs for pursuing a testing career, and indicated that the role of software tester is perceived as a social role, which may require as many soft skills as technical prowess. The results also show that UAE software-related students have a stronger negative attitude towards software testing compared to their counterparts in other countries where similar investigations have been carried out in the past three years.

description: Um als informierte Bürgerinnen und Bürger in einer von Naturwissenschaften und Technik geprägten Welt informierte Entscheidungen treffen zu können und verantwor-tungsbewusst handeln zu können, sind eine Reihe komplexer Kompetenzen nötig, darunter auch im Bereich Bewertung (Lembens & Rehm, 2010). Die Förderung von Urteils- und Handlungsfähigkeiten von Schülerinnen und Schülern, damit sie in ihrem späteren Leben an gesellschaftlich relevanten Problemen im naturwissenschaftlichen Bereich Mitsprache- und Mitgestaltungsmöglichkeiten wahrnehmen können, ist im österreichischen Lehrplan der allgemeinbildenden höheren Schulen verankert (Bun-desrecht konsolidiert: Gesamte Rechtsvorschrift für Lehrpläne – allgemeinbildende höhere Schulen, Fassung vom 17.05.2021, 2021). Damit ist die Förderung von Ur-teils- und Handlungsfähigkeit als Auftrag von Schule festgelegt. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde deshalb eine Unterrichtseinheit zum Thema „Luft-schadstoffe in Innenräumen“ konzipiert, die es Schülerinnen und Schülern erlauben soll, die für solche Problemstellungen notwendige Bewertungskompetenz aufzubauen. Dazu wird zunächst der theoretische Hintergrund geklärt. Dieser setzt sich zusammen aus der Begriffsdefinition von naturwissenschaftlicher Grundbildung und der Einord-nung von Bewertungskompetenz inklusiver aktueller Kompetenzmodelle zur Bewer-tungskompetenz. Im Anschluss wird eines dieser Kompetenzmodelle ausgewählt, an-hand dessen die Teilkompetenzen operationalisiert werden, die in der Unterrichtsein-heit zu „Luftschadstoffen in Innenräumen“ angestrebt werden. Anschließend wird die Ausarbeitung der Unterrichtseinheit zum Thema „Luftschadstof-fe in Innenräumen“ für die Sekundarstufe II dargestellt.

description: The multi-object spectrograph (MOS) has been the benchmark for the current generation of astronomical spectrographs, valued for its ability to acquire the spectra of hundreds of objects simultaneously. In the last two decades, the digital micromirror device (DMD) has shown potential in becoming the central component of the MOS, being used as a programmable slit array. We have designed a seeing-limited DMD-based MOS covering a spectral range of 0.4 to 0.7 $μ$m, with a field of view (FOV) of $10.5^\prime \times 13.98^\prime$ and a spectral resolution of $R\sim1000$. This DMD-MOS employs all-spherical refractive optics, and a volume phase holographic (VPH) grism as the dispersive element for high throughput. In this paper, we present the optical design and optimization process of this DMD-MOS, as well as a preliminary wavelength calibration procedure for hyperspectral data reduction. Using simulated data of the DMD-MOS, a procedure was developed to measure hyperspectral imaging distortion and to construct pixel-to-wavelength mappings on the detector. An investigation into the relationships between DMD micromirrors and detector pixels was conducted. This DMD-MOS will be placed on a 0.5 m diameter telescope as an exploratory study for future DMD-based MOS systems.

description: Es besteht eine signifikante Anzahl an Aufführungen auf deutschsprachigen Bühnen, die Texte der Gegenwartsliteratur als Vorlage benutzen. Dennoch wurden die Besonderheiten der Romanadaptionen bisher nur am Rande erfasst. Dies gilt im besonderem Maße für Stücke der Gegenwartsliteratur. Aus dieser Forschungslücke ergibt sich die Ausgangssituation und Frage der vorliegenden Arbeit: Wie funktionieren Adaptionen von Gegenwartsliteratur am deutschsprachigen Theater? Untersucht werden hierfür Christian Krachts Imperium und Édouard Louis’ Im Herzen der Gewalt und jeweils zwei Adaptionen fürs deutschsprachige Theater in einer narratologischen Analyse. Der dramatische Text wird in der Analyse als narrativer Text verstanden und damit ein Vergleich über Gattungsgrenzen ermöglicht. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass die Adaptionen epische Erzähltechniken der Prätexte aufnehmen und produktiv umsetzen. Außerdem wird deutlich, dass es sich um spezifische mediale Transformationen handelt, die abgegrenzt werden müssen von anderen intermedialen Adaptionsvorgängen. Es sind eigenständige Produkte, die bestimmte Merkmale teilen: Eine hohe Prätextnähe, einen dem Roman entnommenen Handlungsverlauf, die auktoriale Erzählinstanz und diskursive Gegenwartsbezüge.
description: There is a significant number of productions at German theaters that use texts of contemporary literature as models. However, there is little research on the special features of novel adaptations. This is especially true for theater productions of contemporary literature. This research gap leads to the research question: How do adaptations of contemporary literature function in German-language theater? Christian Kracht's Imperium and Édouard Louis' Im Herzen der Gewalt and two adaptations for German-language theater are examined in a narratological analysis. In the analysis, the dramatic text is understood as a narrative text, thus enabling a comparison across genre. This shows that the adaptations take up narrative techniques of the original texts and implement them productively. It also becomes apparent that the adaptations are specific inter-medial transformations and must be separated from other inter-medial adaptation processes. They are distinct products that share certain characteristics: A high degree of proximity to the original text, a plot taken from the novel, the authorial narrative instance, and discursive contemporary references.

description: We give a topological realization of the (spherical) double affine Hecke algebra $\mathrm{SH}_{q,t}$ of type $A_1$, and we use this to construct a module over $\mathrm{SH}_{q,t}$ for any knot $K \subset S^3$. As an application, we give a purely topological interpretation of Cherednik's 2-variable polynomials $P_n(r,s; q,t)$ of type $A_1$ from [Che13] (where $r,s \in \mathbb{Z}$ are relatively prime), and we give a new proof that these specialize to the colored Jones polynomials of the $r,s$ torus knot. We then generalize Cherednik's construction (for $\mathcal{sl}_2$) to all iterated cables of the unknot and prove the corresponding specialization property. Finally, in the appendix we compare our polynomials associated to iterated torus knots to the ones recently defined in [CD14], in the specialization $t=-q^2$.

description: Distant star-forming galaxies show a correlation between their star formation rates (SFR) and stellar masses, and this has deep implications for galaxy formation. Here, we present a study on the evolution of the slope and scatter of the SFR-stellar mass relation for galaxies at $3.5\leq z\leq 6.5$ using multi-wavelength photometry in GOODS-S from the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) and Spitzer Extended Deep Survey. We describe an updated, Bayesian spectral-energy distribution fitting method that incorporates effects of nebular line emission, star formation histories that are constant or rising with time, and different dust attenuation prescriptions (starburst and Small Magellanic Cloud). From $z$=6.5 to $z$=3.5 star-forming galaxies in CANDELS follow a nearly unevolving correlation between stellar mass and SFR that follows SFR $\sim$ $M_\star^a$ with $a = 0.54 \pm 0.16$ at $z\sim 6$ and $0.70 \pm 0.21$ at $z\sim 4$. This evolution requires a star formation history that increases with decreasing redshift (on average, the SFRs of individual galaxies rise with time). The observed scatter in the SFR-stellar mass relation is tight, $σ(\log \mathrm{SFR}/\mathrm{M}_\odot$ yr$^{-1})< 0.3\ - $ 0.4 dex, for galaxies with $\log M_\star/\mathrm{M}_\odot > 9$ dex. Assuming that the SFR is tied to the net gas inflow rate (SFR $\sim$ $\dot{M}_\mathrm{gas}$), then the scatter in the gas inflow rate is also smaller than 0.3$-$0.4 dex for star-forming galaxies in these stellar mass and redshift ranges, at least when averaged over the timescale of star formation. We further show that the implied star formation history of objects selected on the basis of their co-moving number densities is consistent with the evolution in the SFR-stellar mass relation.

description: Various elastic coefficients of Au2O3 doped PbO-B2O3-SeO2:Er2O3 (PBSE) glass ceramics were evaluated as functions of Au2O3 content using ultrasonic velocity measurements. The elastic coefficients and micro-hardness showed a decreasing tendency with the concentration of Au2O3. Such decrease is attributed to the increasing concentration of gold metallic particles and [SeO3]2- groups that acted as modifiers and induced imperfections in these samples. Obtained results were observed to be consistent with the conclusions drawn from spectroscopic studies that include X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), infrared (IR), photoluminescence (PL) and positron annihilation (PAL) spectroscopy studies. Overall, these studies have revealed that even though, the presence of gold metallic particles is preferable for achieving superior luminescence and electrical properties, presence of such particles caused to decrease the elastic coefficients and micro-hardness of these glass ceramics. However, when the concentration of Au2O3 is increased beyond 0.075 mol%, we have observed a slight increase of elastic coefficients and micro-hardness.

description: Quantum impurity solvers have a broad range of applications in theoretical studies of strongly correlated electron systems. Especially, they play a key role in dynamical mean-field theory calculations of correlated lattice models and realistic materials. Therefore, the development and implementation of efficient quantum impurity solvers is an important task. In this paper, we present an open source interacting quantum impurity solver toolkit (dubbed $i$QIST). This package contains several highly optimized quantum impurity solvers which are based on the hybridization expansion continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo algorithm, as well as some essential pre- and post-processing tools. We first introduce the basic principle of continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo algorithm and then discuss the implementation details and optimization strategies. The software framework, major features, and installation procedure for $i$QIST are also explained. Finally, several simple tutorials are presented in order to demonstrate the usage and power of $i$QIST.

description: We extend the gravitational self-force approach to encompass `self-interaction' tidal effects for a compact body of mass $μ$ on a quasi-circular orbit around a black hole of mass $M \gg μ$. Specifically, we define and calculate at $O(μ)$ (conservative) shifts in the eigenvalues of the electric- and magnetic-type tidal tensors, and a (dissipative) shift in a scalar product between their eigenbases. This approach yields four gauge-invariant functions, from which one may construct other tidal quantities such as the curvature scalars and the speciality index. First, we analyze the general case of a geodesic in a regular perturbed vacuum spacetime admitting a helical Killing vector and a reflection symmetry. Next, we specialize to focus on circular orbits in the equatorial plane of Kerr spacetime at $O(μ)$. We present accurate numerical results for the Schwarzschild case for orbital radii up to the light-ring, calculated via independent implementations in Lorenz and Regge-Wheeler gauges. We show that our results are consistent with leading-order post-Newtonian expansions, and demonstrate the existence of additional structure in the strong-field regime. We anticipate that our strong-field results will inform (e.g.) effective one-body models for the gravitational two-body problem that are invaluable in the ongoing search for gravitational waves.

description: We show that the relic abundance of thermal dark matter annihilating via a long-range interaction, is significantly affected by the formation and decay of dark matter bound states in the early universe, if the dark matter mass is above a few TeV. We determine the coupling required to obtain the observed dark matter density, taking into account both the direct 2-to-2 annihilations and the formation of bound states, and provide an analytical fit. We argue that the unitarity limit on the inelastic cross-section is realized only if dark matter annihilates via a long-range interaction, and we determine the upper bound on the mass of thermal-relic dark matter to be about 197 (139) TeV for (non)-self-conjugate dark matter.

description: Most urologic training programs use robotic prostatectomy (RP) as an introduction to teach residents appropriate robotic technique. However, concerns may exist regarding differences in RP outcomes with resident involvement. Our objective was therefore to evaluate whether resident involvement affects complications, operative time, or length of stay following RP.
Diagnosis and management of binge eating disorder

description: This paper addresses current issues regarding the diagnosis and management of binge eating disorder (BED). Controversies in diagnosis include the lack of empirically validated criteria, the lack of a universally recognized operational definition of a "binge episode", and the lack of age-appropriate assessment instruments in light of growing reports of BED among children and adolescents. For adults with BED, several pharmacological and behavioral treatments have shown promise in reducing binge frequency and related psychological symptoms of disordered eating (i.e., disinhibition, hunger, depressed mood). Second-generation antidepressants and cognitive behavioral therapy are among the most widely studied treatments. However, no behavioral interventions have demonstrated efficacy with respect to weight loss (which is a critical concern for many BED sufferers who are overweight). Furthermore, randomized controlled trials for BED have been plagued by high drop out and placebo response rates, as well as by insufficient follow-up after active treatment ends to determine long-term outcomes. Therefore, the long-term utility of the various intervention strategies studied thus far remains unclear. More research is needed on innovative medications and behavioral treatments that explore novel modalities to reduce the subjectively reinforcing properties of binge eating. In addition, expanded use of information technologies may be particularly instrumental in the treatment of patients who experience marked shame, denial, and interpersonal deficits, or who face limited access to specialty care. Ultimately, examining BED within the broader context of the current obesity epidemic will be an important area of study.
title: Die Assumptio Mariens als Vorbild der eschatologischen Vollendung des Menschen
Creators: name: George, Robin
Year: 2022

description: Das Dogma der Assumptio, der leiblichen Aufnahme der Gottesmutter Maria wurde am 1. November 1950 von Papst Pius XII. feierlich verkündet. Karl Josef Erich Rahner (1904-1984), ein deutscher Jesuit und katholische Theologe des 20. Jahrhunderts, hinterfragte dieses Dogma kritisch und genuin. Ausgehend vom einzigen „Schriftbeweis“ und mariologischen Konvenienzargumenten formuliert K. Rahner schließlich die These, dass Maria, als eine von uns, die ewige Vollendung in ihrer leib-seelischen Integrität, schon erreicht hat. So sei die Assumptio Marias, mehr als ein Ausdruck für die Verehrung gegenüber der Mutter des Herrn. Vielmehr sei sie „ein Bekenntnis zur ewigen Hoffnung“ für die Gegenwart, die bewusst in der Praxis des täglichen Lebens gelebt und verankert werden soll.
description: The dogma of the Assumptio, the bodily Assumption of Mary, the Mother of God, was solemnly proclaimed by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950. Karl Josef Erich Rahner (1904-1984), a German Jesuit and catholic theologian of the 20th century, critically and genuinely scrutinized this dogma. Starting from the sole „scriptural evidence” and from the Mariological convenience arguments, K. Rahner finally formulates the Thesis that Mary, as one of us, has already reached eternal perfection in her bodily-spiritual integrity. Thus, the Assumption of Bl. Virgin Mary is more than an expression of devotion to the Mother of the Lord. Rather, she is „a Confession of eternal Hope” for the present, which should be consciously lived and anchored in the practice of daily life.

description: Psychotropic medications are used regularly to manage problem behaviours among people with intellectual disabilities. This causes concern because often these medications are used out of their licensed indications in this context. The WPA Section on Psychiatry of Intellectual Disability has recently developed an evidence and consensus-based international guide for practitioners for the use of psychotropic medications for problem behaviours among adults with intellectual disabilities. This guide advises on assessment of behaviours, producing a formulation, initiation of treatment, assessment of out-come and adverse effects, follow-up arrangements, and possibility of discontinuation of treatment.
$\mathcal{N}=2$ dilaton-Weyl multiplets in 5D and Nishino-Rajpoot supergravity off-shell

description: We describe in detail the derivation of a superconformal off-shell formulation of the alternative $\mathcal{N}=2$, $d=5$ ungauged supergravity of Nishino and Rajpoot, coupled to $n$ Abelian vector multiplets, using a general dilaton-Weyl multiplet. We generalize the vector multiplet coupling available in the literature and show under which assumptions that the scalar manifold reduces to the known case of SO(1,1) $\times$ SO(1,n)/SO(n). As an application of the formalism we propose generalized vector multiplet coupled higher curvature terms, whose construction we sketch briefly.

Bacterial β-glucuronidase inhibition protects mice against enteropathy induced by indomethacin, ketoprofen or diclofenac: mode of action and pharmacokinetics

description: 1.  We have previously demonstrated that a small molecule inhibitor of bacterial β-glucuronidase (Inh-1; [1-((6,8-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)-3-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiourea]) protected mice against diclofenac (DCF)-induced enteropathy. Here we report that Inh-1 was equally protective against small intestinal injury induced by other carboxylic acid-containing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), indomethacin (10 mg/kg, ip) and ketoprofen (100 mg/kg, ip). 2.  Inh-1 provided complete protection if given prior to DCF (60 mg/kg, ip), and partial protection if administered 3-h post-DCF, suggesting that the temporal window of mucosal protection can be extended for drugs undergoing extensive enterohepatic circulation. 3.  Pharmacokinetic analysis of Inh-1 revealed an absolute bioavailability (F) of 21% and a short t1/2 of <1 h. This low F was shown to be due to hepatic first-pass metabolism, as confirmed with the pan-CYP inhibitor, 1-aminobenzotriazole. 4.  Using the fluorescent probe 5 (and 6)-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein, we demonstrated that Inh-1 did not interfere with hepatobiliary export of glucuronides in gall bladder-cannulated mice. 5.  These data are compatible with the hypothesis that pharmacological inhibition of bacterial β-glucuronidase-mediated cleavage of NSAID glucuronides in the small intestinal lumen can protect against NSAID-induced enteropathy caused by locally high concentrations of NSAID aglycones.
